3.3 Disposition of Deposit Upon Failure to Close. If the Close of Escrow fails to occur due to Buyer’s default under this Agreement (all of the conditions to Buyer’s obligation to
3
close having been satisfied or waived), then the disposition of the Deposit and all interest accrued thereon shall be governed by Section 13.1 hereof; if the Close of Escrow fails to occur due to Seller’s default under this Agreement (all of the conditions to Seller’s obligation to close having been satisfied or waived), then the Deposit and all interest accrued thereon shall promptly be governed by Section 13.2; and if the Close of Escrow fails to occur due to the failure of any of the conditions set forth in Sections 7.1 or 7.2 hereof other than as a result of Buyer’s or Seller’s default under this Agreement, then the disposition of the Deposit and all interest accrued thereon shall be governed by Section 9.3 hereof.

4
(f)copies of existing warranties, licenses, permits, and elevator permits with trailing three (3) years of maintenance reports (to the extent in Seller’s possession or in the possession of Seller’s property manager);
(g)copies of the last two years’ tax bills and any proposed reassessment valuation;
(h)a list of all insurance claims and major repairs of a capital nature during the last five (5) years;

Seller further agrees to make available to Buyer any additional documentation related to the Property (excluding any attorney-client privileged, confidential information or work product), reasonably requested by Buyer during the Due Diligence Period, which is in the possession of or obtainable by Seller (at no cost, expense or liability to Seller).
4.2 Title and Survey Review; Title Policy.
4.2.1 Delivery of Title Report. Seller shall promptly request the Title Company to deliver to Buyer a preliminary title report or title commitment covering the Real Property (the “Title Report”), together with copies of all documents (collectively, the “Title Documents”) referenced in the Title Report. Buyer, at its option and expense, may (a) obtain a new survey for the Real Property or (b) cause one or more of the Existing Surveys to be updated or recertified (either, a “New Survey”). Buyer understands and acknowledges that if Buyer elects to obtain a New Survey for the Real Property the completion and/or delivery of the surveys or updated or recertified surveys shall not be a condition precedent to the Close of Escrow. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Xxxxx further acknowledges that Seller makes no representations or warranties, and Seller shall have no responsibility, with respect to the completeness of the Title Documents made available to Buyer by the Title Company.
4.2.2 Title Review and Cure. Commencing from the date of this Agreement and continuing through and including the Title Review Period, Buyer shall have the right to approve or disapprove the condition of title to the Real Property. On or before the expiration of the Title Review Period, Buyer shall deliver to Seller and Escrow Holder written notice (“Buyer’s Title Notice”) of Buyer’s approval or disapproval of the matters reflected in the Title Report, the Existing Survey, and/or the New Survey, if any. The failure of Buyer to deliver to Seller Buyer’s Title Notice on or before the expiration of the Title Review Period shall be
5
deemed to constitute Xxxxx’s approval of the condition of title to the Real Property. If Buyer disapproves any matter of title shown in the Title Report or Existing Survey for the Real Property, then Seller may, but shall have no obligation to, within one (1) business day after its receipt of the Buyer’s Title Notice for the Real Property (“Seller’s Election Period”), elect to eliminate or ameliorate to Buyer’s reasonable satisfaction the disapproved title matters by giving Buyer written notice (“Seller’s Title Notice”) of those disapproved title matters, if any, which Xxxxxx agrees to so eliminate or ameliorate by the Closing Date. Xxxxx acknowledges and agrees that any title exception disapproved by Xxxxx shall be deemed ameliorated to Buyer’s reasonable satisfaction to the extent that Seller either causes such exception to be removed from the Title Policy (as such term is defined in Section 4.2.3 hereof) or to be affirmatively insured over. If Seller does not elect to, or is unable to, eliminate or ameliorate any disapproved title matters, Buyer reasonably disapproves Seller’s Title Notice, or Seller fails to timely deliver Seller’s Title Notice, then Buyer shall have the right, upon delivery to Seller and Escrow Holder (on or before one (1) business day following the expiration of Seller’s Election Period) of a written notice, to either: (a) waive its prior disapproval, in which event said disapproved matters shall be deemed approved; or (b) terminate this Agreement and the Escrow (as such term is defined in Section 9.1 hereof). Failure to take either one of the actions described in (a) and (b) above shall be deemed to be Buyer’s election to take the action described in clause (a) above. If Buyer elects to terminate this Agreement as provided in clause (b) above, this Agreement shall automatically terminate, the parties shall be released from all further obligations under this Agreement (except pursuant to any provisions which by their terms survive a termination of this Agreement), the Deposit shall be immediately returned to Buyer and Buyer shall immediately return all Property Information to Seller. Buyer shall have been deemed to have approved any title exception that Seller is not obligated to remove and to which either Buyer did not object as provided above, or to which Buyer did object, but with respect to which Buyer did not terminate this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything stated to the contrary herein, Seller covenants and agrees to remove (or cause to be removed) from title to the Property (which obligation shall be deemed satisfied if the same is insured over and the amount secured by any of the instruments referenced in clauses (a) and (b) below have been paid and the holders of the same are obligated to cause the same to be released from title to the Property) concurrently with the Close of Escrow (a) all deeds of trust, mortgages and/or other debt instruments to the extent executed by Seller or expressly assumed by Seller in writing, and (b) any other monetary liens (other than mechanic’s liens that are considered Permitted Exceptions) which are of an ascertainable amount, and do not exceed $150,000.00 in the aggregate and are capable of being removed upon the payment of no more than $150,000.00 in the aggregate.
If at any time after the expiration of the Title Review Period, any update to the Buyer’s title commitment or Title Report (an “Updated Title Report”) discloses any additional item (other than any items arising from a new or updated survey obtained by Buyer) that “materially” and adversely affects title to the Property which was not disclosed on any version of or update to the title commitment delivered to Buyer during the Due Diligence Period and which do not constitute a Permitted Exception (a “New Exception”), then Buyer shall have the right to object to such New Exceptions by giving written notice to Seller (the “Additional Title Notice”) of the New Exceptions to which Buyer is objecting within two (2) business days after the receipt by Buyer of the Updated Title Report. If Buyer does not object to any New Exception by giving timely written notice as herein provided, such New Exception shall be a Permitted Exception. Seller may, but shall have no obligation to, within two (2) business days after its receipt of the
6
Additional Title Notice (“Seller’s Additional Election Period”), respond to such notice. If, prior to the expiration of Seller’s Additional Election Period, Seller does not elect to eliminate or ameliorate such New Exceptions, Buyer reasonably disapproves Seller’s response to Buyer’s Additional Title Notice, or Seller fails to timely deliver a response to Buyer’s Additional Title Notice, then Buyer shall have the right, upon delivery to Seller and Escrow Holder (on or before the earlier of the Closing Date and two (2) business days following the expiration of Seller’s Additional Election Period) of a written notice, to either: (a) waive its prior disapproval of any New Exception, in which event said New Exception shall be a Permitted Exception; or (b) terminate this Agreement and the Escrow. For purposes of this paragraph, a New Exception that consists of a monetary lien shall be deemed to “materially” affect title if the cost to remove or insure over such exception would cost more than $75,000.00 in the aggregate.
4.2.3 Delivery of Title Policy at Closing. As a condition precedent to the Close of Escrow, the Title Company shall have issued and delivered to Buyer, or shall have committed to issue and deliver to Buyer, with respect to the Real Property, a Standard Coverage Owner’s Policy of Title Insurance (2021 Form) (the “Title Policy”) issued by the Title Company as of the date and time of the recording of the Deed (as such term is defined in Section 6.1 hereof) for the Real Property, in the amount of the Purchase Price insuring Buyer as owner of good, marketable and indefeasible fee simple title to the Real Property, subject only to the Permitted Exceptions (as hereinafter defined). For purposes of this Agreement, “Permitted Exceptions” shall mean and include (a) any lien to secure payment of real estate taxes, including special assessments, not delinquent, (b) to the extent Buyer fails to obtain a New Survey satisfactory to the Title Company prior to the expiration of the Title Review Period, all matters which could be revealed or disclosed by a physical inspection or a survey of the Real Property, (c) the rights of the tenants under the Leases affecting the Real Property, (d) all exceptions disclosed by the Title Report relating to the Real Property and which are approved or deemed approved by Buyer in accordance with Section 4.2.2 hereof, (e) any exception for liens (and/or potential liens) for services, labor or materials heretofore or hereafter furnished to the Property for which Buyer is entitled to a credit at Closing pursuant to this Agreement, for which Buyer is expressly responsible for payment under the terms of this Agreement, and/or which arises from any services, labor or materials contracted for by any tenant at the Property and with respect to which any such tenant is expressly responsible for payment under the terms of its Lease, and (f) all applicable laws, ordinances, rules and governmental regulations (including, without limitation, those relating to building, zoning and land use) affecting the development, use, occupancy or enjoyment of the Real Property.
4.3 Inspections; Due Diligence Period.
4.3.1 Inspections in General. Commencing from the Effective Date and continuing through and including the Closing Date, Buyer, its agents, and employees shall have a limited license (the “License”) to enter upon the Real Property for the purpose of making non-invasive inspections at Buyer’s sole risk, cost and expense. Before any such entry, Buyer shall provide Seller with a certificate of insurance naming Seller as an additional insured and with an insurer and insurance limits and coverage reasonably satisfactory to Seller. In addition, Buyer, its agents, contractors, or subcontractors shall maintain, and shall have provided evidence reasonably satisfactory to Seller of Workers Compensation Insurance (including a Waiver of Subrogation endorsement in favor of Seller) with coverage amounts required by the applicable
7
statutes of either the state where (a) such entry occurs, or (b) employees of the Buyer, its agents, contractors, or subcontractors, as applicable, are domiciled. All of such entries upon the Real Property shall be at reasonable times during normal business hours and after at least forty-eight (48) hours prior notice to Seller or Seller’s agent, and Seller or Seller’s agent shall have the right to accompany Buyer during any activities performed by Xxxxx on the Real Property. Buyer shall be in compliance with the notice requirement contained in this Section 4.3.1. if email notice to Seller is provided to Xxxx Xxxxxxxx at Xxxxxxxxx@xxx.xxx , Xxxx Xxxxxxxxxx at xxxx.xxxxxxxxxx@xxxxxxxx.xxx and Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx at Xxxxxxxx.xxxxxxxx@xxxxxxxxxxxx.xxx.
Notwithstanding anything stated to the contrary herein, Buyer shall have no right to inspect any of the occupied space in the Real Property, and Buyer shall not contact or speak to any of the tenants under the Leases, unless Buyer provides Seller with no less than forty-eight (48) hours prior written notice of such intention and Seller or Seller’s representative is present during such inspections and/or discussions with tenants; any discussions with tenants shall immediately cease at the tenant’s request and any discussions with tenants must be limited to their existing tenancy and premises and may not involve any lease renegotiations. Seller agrees to make itself or its representatives reasonably available Buyer’s inspections and/or discussions with tenants. Inspections by Xxxxx shall not interfere with the rights of tenants. At Seller’s request, Buyer shall provide Seller (at no cost to Seller) with a copy of the results of any tests and inspections made by Buyer, excluding only market and economic feasibility studies. All inspections shall be made in accordance with all applicable laws (including, without limitation, any federal, state, and local law and guidance issued by the Centers for Disease and Control and Prevention, the State of Illinois, and local health authorities for the limitation of the spread of any infectious diseases (including, without limitation, COVID-19)), as well as any infectious disease related (including, without limitation, COVID-19) property access procedures that may reasonably be adopted by the tenants or Seller and provided to Buyer prior to Buyer’s access to the Property. If any inspection or test disturbs the Real Property, Xxxxx will restore the Real Property to the same condition as existed before the inspection or test. Buyer shall defend, indemnify Seller and hold Seller, Seller’s trustees, officers, tenants, agents, contractors and employees and the Real Property harmless from and against any and all losses, costs, damages, claims, or liabilities, including but not limited to, mechanics’ and materialmens’ liens, any claims and liabilities relating to the handling of hazardous materials by Buyer, its employees, agents, contractors or representatives, and Seller’s reasonable attorneys’ fees, arising out of or in connection with Buyer’s, or its agents’, contractors’, employees’, or invitees’ entry upon or inspection of the Real Property, but expressly excluding any such losses, costs, damages, claims or liabilities arising from Buyer’s discovery of a pre-existing condition on the Real Property not caused by Buyer (so long as Buyer and Xxxxx’s representative did not exacerbate any such pre-existing condition) or arising from Seller’s negligence or willful misconduct. The License shall be deemed revoked upon termination of this Agreement. Buyer hereby accepts the risk that it or its employees, agents or contractors may contract COVID-19 and/or other infectious disease as a result of coming onto the Property and/or entering the building located at the Property. In addition, Buyer shall cause all its employees, agents or contractors to execute and deliver to Seller prior to coming onto the Property such waivers and release of claims as Seller shall reasonably require with respect to the contracting of COVID-19 and/or other infectious diseases while present at the Property; provided, however, that in no event does Buyer provide any representation, warranty or other assurance that any such waiver and/or release is or will be
8
enforceable. The provisions of this Section 4.3.1 shall survive the Close of Escrow or the earlier termination of this Agreement.
4.3.2 Environmental Inspections. The inspections under Section 4.3.1 may include non-invasive Phase I environmental inspections of the Real Property, but no Phase II environmental inspections or other invasive inspections or sampling of soil or materials, including without limitation construction materials, either as part of the Phase I inspections or any other inspections, shall be performed without the prior written consent of Seller, which consent may be withheld in its sole and absolute discretion, and if consented to by Seller, the proposed scope of work and the party who will perform the work shall be subject to Seller’s reasonable review and approval.
4.3.3 Termination During Due Diligence Period. If Buyer determines, in its sole discretion, before the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, that the Real Property is unacceptable for Buyer’s purposes, for any reason or no reason, Buyer shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by giving to Seller notice of termination (“Termination Notice”) before the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, in which event the Deposit shall be immediately refunded to Buyer, Buyer shall immediately return all Property Information to Seller and, except for those provisions of this Agreement which expressly survive the termination of this Agreement, the parties hereto shall have no further obligations hereunder. If Buyer fails to deliver a Termination Notice to Seller and Escrow Holder on or before the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, then Buyer shall be deemed to have waived its right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 4.3.3. Xxxxx’s delivery of a Termination Notice to Seller with respect to the Real Property shall constitute Buyer’s election to terminate this Agreement with respect to the Real Property as provided above in this Section 4.3.3.
4.4 Tenant Estoppel Certificates; SNDAs. Seller shall endeavor to secure and deliver to Buyer by the Closing Date estoppel certificates for all Leases consistent with the information in the Rent Rolls and substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D or such form as may be required under the applicable Leases. Buyer may terminate this Agreement upon two (2) business days written notice to Seller if, no less than four (4) business days prior to the Closing Date, Seller fails to deliver to Buyer estoppel certificates substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D or such form as may be required under any particular Lease (“Tenant Estoppel Certificates”), executed by tenants under Leases covering at least seventy-five percent (75%) of the leased rental floor area, and must include estoppel certificates for Xxxxxxx, Life Spice, Haute Living, Wayfinder, Xxxxxxxx Corp., and first floor bar, of the Real Property and meeting the foregoing requirements (the “Estoppel Threshold”). Prior to transmitting the Tenant Estoppel Certificates (with all exhibits thereto attached) to the tenants, Seller shall afford Buyer an opportunity to review the Tenant Estoppel Certificates. Buyer agrees that it shall approve or provide reasonable objections in writing to Seller within two (2) business days following receipt of the same from Seller; failure by Buyer to provide its approval within such two (2) business day period shall be deemed to be Buyer’s approval of the Tenant Estoppel Certificates, and Seller shall be permitted to transmit the Tenant Estoppel Certificates to the tenants. Buyer shall have the right to review and approve any Tenant Estoppel Certificates executed by a tenant (and Seller hereby agrees to, upon its receipt, to promptly provide to Buyer copies of any executed Tenant Estoppel Certificates); provided, however, Buyer shall not be entitled to object to any Tenant Estoppel Certificate executed by a tenant unless (a) the tenant
9
under its Lease modifies any of the statements in the Tenant Estoppel Certificate to disclose material adverse matters, or (b) the tenant under its Lease indicates in the Tenant Estoppel Certificate any of the following: (1) that Seller is in material default under the terms of the Lease, (2) it has a claim or offset right, and Seller is unwilling or unable to give Buyer a credit in immediately available funds at the Close of Escrow in an amount reasonably satisfactory to Buyer to satisfy such claim or offset right in full, or (3) discloses (i) any information materially inconsistent with the Lease, (ii) a material breach by Seller, (iii) a material dispute between it and the Seller, or (iv) any material unrepaired, uncured or unperformed defect, claim, liability or obligation of Seller and/or with respect to the Real Property, each as reasonably determined by Buyer. Buyer shall be deemed to have approved an executed Tenant Estoppel Certificate unless it notifies Seller in writing of its disapproval of the same (to the extent permitted above in this Section 4.4) within three (3) business days following its receipt of the same (“Rejected Estoppel”). To the extent the matters set forth in the Rejected Estoppel cannot be resolved to Buyer’s reasonable satisfaction on or prior to the Closing Date and to the extent the Rejected Estoppel is needed to satisfy the Estoppel Threshold, Buyer shall have the right to terminate this Agreement and receive a return of the Deposit. For the purposes of this Section 4.4, “material” shall mean the cost to cure would cost more than $75,000.00 in the aggregate.
Following the expiration of the Due Diligence Period (and not until the expiration of the Due Diligence Period), Buyer shall be entitled to deliver to tenants for signature subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreements (“SNDA’s”) provided (i) Buyer provides to Seller prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, and Seller approves (in Seller’s reasonable discretion), the form of SNDA, and (ii) Buyer has acknowledged in writing that it has received and approved (or waived its right to receive and approve) all Tenant Estoppel Certificates to which it is entitled in accordance with the provisions of this Section 4.4. Under no circumstances shall Xxxxx’s receipt of executed XXXX’s from tenants be a condition precedent to Xxxxx’s obligation to consummate the transaction contemplated under this Agreement.
4.5 Contracts. Prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, Xxxxx will notify Seller in writing, as to the Contracts that Xxxxx will assume. The remaining Contracts will be (to the extent terminable by Seller without cost or penalty on no less than 30 days’ notice) cancelled by Seller at the Close of Escrow. Buyer shall assume the obligations arising from and after the Closing Date under the Contracts that Buyer elects to assume in accordance with the terms of this Section 4.5, and any Contracts that are not terminable by Seller without cost or penalty on no less than 30 days’ notice; provided, however, notwithstanding anything stated to the contrary herein, Buyer shall not be obligated to assume any of Seller’s obligations under, and Seller shall terminate at Close of Escrow, the management and leasing agreement listed in Exhibit C attached hereto and made a part hereof, except that, notwithstanding Seller’s termination of the management and leasing agreement listed in Exhibit C attached hereto, and in consideration of Seller’s terminating the same, Buyer shall be responsible for, and Buyer shall assume pursuant to the terms and provisions of the Assignment of Leases and Contracts and Bill of Sale, as hereinafter defined, all leasing commissions payable (notwithstanding the termination of the management and leasing agreement) under the management and leasing agreement after the Close of Escrow arising out of the lease of space in the Property after the Close of Escrow.
4.6 Confidentiality. Prior to the Close of Escrow or in the event the Close of Escrow never occurs, the Property Information and all other information, other than matters of public record or matters generally known to the public, furnished to, or obtained through inspection of
10

If the Purchase Price is received by Seller’s depository bank in time to credit to Seller’s account on the Closing Date, the day the Close of Escrow occurs shall belong to Buyer and all prorations hereinafter provided to be made as of the Close of Escrow shall each be made as of the end of the day before the Closing Date. If the cash portion of the Purchase Price is not so received by Seller’s depository bank on the Closing Date, then the day the Close of Escrow occurs shall belong to Seller and such proration shall be made as of the end of the day that is the Closing Date. In each such proration set forth below, the portion thereof applicable to periods beginning as of Close of Escrow shall be credited to Buyer or charged to Buyer as applicable and the portion thereof applicable to periods ending as of Close of Escrow shall be credited to Seller or charged to Seller as applicable.
10.1 Collected Rent. All rent (including, without limitation, all base rents, additional rents and retroactive rents, and expressly excluding tenant reimbursements for Operating Costs, as hereinafter defined) and all other income (and any applicable state or local tax on rent) (hereinafter collectively referred to as “Rents”) collected under Leases in effect on the Closing Date shall be prorated as of the Close of Escrow. Buyer shall receive a credit against the Purchase Price for any free rent credits owing to any tenant (for periods from and after the Closing Date) to the extent such free rent is set forth on Schedule 1-2 attached hereto. Uncollected Rent (“Uncollected Rent”) shall not be prorated and, to the extent payable for the period prior to the Close of Escrow, shall remain the property of Seller. Unless otherwise specifically identified by a tenant to be paid in any other order, Buyer and Seller shall apply Rent from tenants that are collected after the Close of Escrow first to Rents which are due to Buyer
20
after the Close of Escrow and second to Rents which were due to Seller on or before the Close of Escrow. Any prepaid Rents for the period following the Closing Date shall be paid over by Seller or credited to Xxxxx. Buyer will make reasonable efforts, without suit, to collect any Rents applicable to the period before the Close of Escrow including, without limitation, sending to tenants bills for the payment of past due Rents during the first six (6) month period following the Closing Date. Seller may pursue collection of any Rents that were past due as of the Closing Date, provided that Seller shall have no right to terminate any Lease or any tenant’s occupancy under any Lease in connection therewith.
10.2 Operating Costs and Additional Rent Reconciliation. Seller, as landlord under the Leases, is currently collecting from tenants under the Leases additional rent to cover taxes, insurance, utilities (to the extent not paid directly by tenants), common area maintenance and other operating costs and expenses (collectively, “Operating Costs”) in connection with the ownership, operation, maintenance and management of the Real Property. To the extent that any additional rent (including, without limitation, estimated payments for Operating Costs) is paid by tenants to the landlord under the Leases based on an estimated payment basis (monthly, quarterly, or otherwise) for which a future reconciliation of actual Operating Costs to estimated payments is required to be performed at the end of a reconciliation period, Buyer and Seller shall make an adjustment at the Close of Escrow for the applicable reconciliation period (or periods, if the Leases do not have a common reconciliation period) based on a comparison of the actual Operating Costs to the estimated payments at the Close of Escrow, with a final adjustment upon the completion by Buyer of the future reconciliation of actual Operating Costs to estimated payments that is required to be performed at the end of the reconciliation period. If, as of the Close of Escrow, Seller has received additional rent payments in excess of the amount that tenants will be required to pay, based on the actual Operating Costs as of the Close of Escrow, Buyer shall receive a credit in the amount of such excess. If, as of the Close of Escrow, Seller has received additional rent payments that are less than the amount that tenants would be required to pay, based on the actual Operating Costs as of the Close of Escrow, Seller shall not receive a credit in the amount of such deficiency, but instead shall be entitled to such amounts if, as and when collected after the Close of Escrow; Buyer will make reasonable efforts, without suit, to collect such amounts. Operating Costs that are not payable by tenants either directly or reimbursable under the Leases shall be prorated between Seller and Buyer and shall be reasonably estimated by the parties if final bills are not available.
10.3 Taxes and Assessments. Seller has notified Buyer that the tax appeal for real estate taxes and assessments with respect to the Real Property for the 2022 tax year and which are payable in 2023 (“2022 Taxes”) has been resolved, as evidenced by the findings of the letter from the Cook County Board of Review dated as of August 16, 2023, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit M (“Tax Appeal Determination”). The tax bill for the second installment of 2022 Taxes shall be paid by Seller on or prior to the Closing Date. Seller shall be entitled to a credit at Closing based upon the number of days of Buyer’s ownership of the Real Property for the 2023 tax year (with such proration taking into account the tax bill for the second installment of 2022 Taxes to be paid by Seller on or prior to the Closing Date, and the amounts previously paid by Seller for the first installment of 2022 Taxes). For purposes of illustration only, assuming a Closing Date of December 4, 2023 and that Seller has paid in full the second installment of 2022 Taxes prior to the Close of Escrow, then the credit that Seller shall be entitled to for 2022 Taxes as contemplated above shall be $93,543.49 (calculated as follows:
21
$1,219,406.17 total 2022 Taxes paid, divided by 365 days = $3,340.84 per diem, multiplied by 28 days of Buyer’s ownership in 2023 = $93,543.49).
Real estate taxes and assessments imposed and/or to be imposed by any governmental authority with respect to the Real Property for the 2023 tax year and subsequent tax years (the “Additional Taxes”) and which are payable in 2024 and subsequent years shall be assumed and paid by Xxxxx when the same become due; Buyer shall not be entitled to any credit for real estate taxes imposed for the 2023 tax year (and which are payable in 2024) or any subsequent years. The 2022 Taxes and the Additional Taxes are hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Taxes”.
10.4 Leasing Commissions, Tenant Improvements and Contracts. At Close of Escrow, Buyer shall assume (pursuant to the Assignment of Leases and Contracts and Bill of Sale) the obligation to pay all (a) leasing costs that are due or become due prior to the Closing Date to the extent that the same (i) arise from a new lease or any Lease amendment, extension or expansion hereafter entered into by Seller in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, or (ii) arise out of any New and Pending Lease Transactions (including, without limitation, the commissions and/or tenant improvements referenced in Section 5.3 hereof), and (b) leasing costs that are due after the Closing Date to the extent disclosed in the Leases, disclosed in any of the Property Information, disclosed in any estoppel certificates delivered to Buyer prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, or otherwise disclosed to Buyer in writing prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period. Xxxxx will assume the obligations arising from and after the Closing Date under the Contracts. In accordance with the provisions of Section 5.3 hereof, Buyer shall receive a credit towards the Purchase Price equal to the leasing commissions and tenant improvement allowances referred to in Schedule 1-2 attached hereto to the extent the same remains unpaid as of the Close of Escrow.
10.5 Tenant Deposits. The tenant security deposits received by Seller as set forth on Schedule 4 attached hereto (and interest thereon if required by law or contract to be earned thereon) and not theretofore applied to tenant obligations under the Leases in accordance with the terms of the Leases shall be transferred or credited to Buyer at the Close of Escrow or placed in escrow if required by law. As of the Close of Escrow, Buyer shall assume Seller’s obligations related to tenant security deposits transferred or credited to Buyer (“Transferred Security Deposits”). Xxxxx will indemnify, defend, and hold Seller harmless from and against all demands and claims made by tenants arising out of the transfer or disposition of any Transferred Security Deposits and will reimburse Seller for all reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred or that may be incurred as a result of any such claims or demands as well as for all loss, expenses, verdicts, judgments, settlements, interest, costs and other expenses incurred or that may be incurred by Seller as a result of any such claims or demands by tenants. If any security deposits are in the form of a letter of credit, Seller’s obligation to deliver or credit such deposit shall be satisfied by the delivery by Seller, as of the Close of Escrow, of the original letter of credit into Escrow, and execute and deliver into Escrow at Closing such other instruments as the issuer of such letter of credit shall reasonably require in order to cause the named beneficiary under such letter of credit to be changed to Buyer. All costs of the assignment of any letter of credit shall be paid by Xxxxxx.
10.6 Utilities and Utility Deposits. Utilities for the Real Property (excluding utilities for which payment is made directly by tenants), including water, sewer, electric, and gas, based
22
upon the last reading of meters prior to the Close of Escrow, shall be prorated. Seller shall be entitled to a credit for all security deposits held by any of the utility companies providing service to the Real Property and transferred to Buyer. Seller shall endeavor to obtain meter readings on the day before the Closing Date, and if such readings are obtained, there shall be no proration of such items and Seller shall pay at Close of Escrow the bills therefor for the period to the day preceding the Close of Escrow, and Buyer shall pay the bills therefor for the period subsequent thereto. If the utility company will not issue separate bills, Xxxxx will receive a credit against the Purchase Price for Seller’s portion and will pay the entire bill prior to delinquency after Close of Escrow. If Seller has paid utilities no more than thirty (30) days in advance in the ordinary course of business, then Buyer shall be charged its portion of such payment at Close of Escrow. Buyer shall be responsible for making any security deposits required by utility companies providing service to the Real Property.
10.7 Owner Deposits. Seller shall receive a credit at the Close of Escrow in the amount set forth on Schedule 3 attached hereto for all bonds, deposits, letters of credit, set aside letters or other similar items, if any, that are outstanding with respect to the Real Property that have been provided by Seller or any of its affiliates to any governmental agency, public utility, or similar entity (collectively, “Owner Deposits”) to the extent assignable and assigned to Buyer. To the extent any Owner Deposits are not assignable to Buyer, Buyer shall replace such Owner Deposits and obtain the release of Seller (or its affiliates) from any obligations under such Owner Deposits. To the extent that any funds are released as a result of the termination of any Owner Deposits for which Seller did not get a credit, such funds shall be delivered to Seller immediately upon their receipt.
10.8 Intentionally Deleted.
10.9 Final Adjustment After Closing. If final prorations cannot be made at the Close of Escrow for any item being prorated under this Section 10, then, provided Buyer and Seller both identify any such proration (“Post Closing Proration”) in writing before the Close of Escrow, Buyer and Seller agree to allocate such items on a fair and equitable basis as soon as invoices or bills are available and applicable reconciliation with tenants have been completed, with final adjustment to be made as soon as reasonably possible after the Close of Escrow (but in no event later than ninety (90) days after the Close of Escrow, except that adjustments arising from Operating Costs under Section 10.2 hereof shall not be subject to such 90-day limitation, but shall be made as soon as reasonably possible). Payments in connection with the final adjustment shall be due no later than ninety (90) days after the Close of Escrow, except that adjustments arising from Operating Costs under Section 10.2 hereof shall not be subject to such 90-day limitation, but shall be made as soon as reasonably possible. Seller shall have reasonable access to, and the right to inspect and audit, Xxxxx’s books, applicable to a specific contested proration, to confirm the final prorations for a period of one (1) year after the Close of Escrow. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary stated in this Article 10, except for any reconciliation arising out of Operating Costs under Section 10.2 hereof, and except for any Post Closing Prorations (which must be determined and paid within ninety (90) days after the Close of Escrow), all prorations made under this Article 10 shall be final as of the Close of Escrow and shall not be subject to further adjustment (whether due to an error or for any other reason) after the Close of Escrow.

(g)To Seller’s Actual Knowledge, except as disclosed on Schedule 2 attached hereto, Seller has not received written notice from any contractor in the past ninety (90) days disclosing unpaid bills for any services, labor or materials provided to the Property that was contracted for directly by any tenant at the Property.
(h)Seller is not and is not acting on behalf of (i) an “employee benefit plan” within the meaning of Section 3(3) of ERISA, (ii) a “plan” within the meaning of Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) or (iii) an entity deemed to hold

To Seller’s Actual Knowledge, Seller has not received written notice of the existence of any attachments, executions, assignments for the benefit of creditors, or voluntary or involuntary proceedings in bankruptcy or under other debtor relief laws contemplated by, pending, or threatened against Seller.
(k)To Seller’s Actual Knowledge, neither Seller nor any of its respective affiliates or constituents, nor any of their respective brokers or other agents acting in any capacity in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement is or will be (a) conducting any business or engaging in any transaction or dealing with any person appearing on the U.S. Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”) list of restrictions and prohibited persons (“Prohibited Person”) (which lists can be accessed at the following web address: xxxx://xxx.xxxxxxx.xxx/xxxxxxx/xxxxxxxxxxx/xxxx/), including the making or receiving of any contribution of funds, goods or services to or for the benefit of any Prohibited Person; (b) dealing in, or otherwise engaging in any transaction relating to, any property or interests in property blocked pursuant to Executive Order No. 13224 dated September 24, 2001, relating to “Blocking Property and Prohibiting Transactions With Persons Who Commit, Threaten to Commit, or Support Terrorism”; or (c) engaging in or conspiring to engage in any transaction that evades or avoids, or has the purpose of evading or avoiding, or attempting to violate, any of the prohibitions set forth in any U.S. anti-money laundering law.

If, after the Effective Date, but before the Close of Escrow, Seller becomes aware of any facts or changes in circumstances that would cause any of its representations and warranties in this Agreement to be untrue at Close of Escrow, Seller may notify Buyer in writing of such fact. In such case, or in the event Buyer obtains information which would cause any of Seller’s representations and warranties to be untrue at Close of Escrow, Buyer, as its sole and exclusive remedy, shall have the right to either (i) terminate this Agreement to the extent that the failure of any such representation or warranty to be true would have a “material adverse impact” on the Property, in which case the Deposit shall be immediately returned to Buyer and neither party shall have any rights or obligations under this Agreement (except for Sections 4.3.1, 15.3 and 15.5 which
25
survive termination of this Agreement); or (ii) to the extent Buyer is not permitted to terminate this Agreement pursuant to clause (i) above, accept a qualification to Seller’s representations and warranties as of the Close of Escrow and complete the purchase and sale of the Property without any rights to recovery for breach of the unqualified representation and warranty.

For purposes of this paragraph, a breached representation or warranty shall be deemed to have a “material adverse impact” if it deals with a liquidated amount in excess of $75,000.00 and Seller elects not to provide Buyer with a credit for such amount at Close of Escrow.

SUCH PAYMENT OF THE DEPOSIT TO SELLER IS INTENDED TO CONSTITUTE LIQUIDATED DAMAGES TO SELLER AND SHALL NOT BE DEEMED TO CONSTITUTE A FORFEITURE OR PENALTY.
32
NOTHING IN THIS SECTION 13.1 SHALL (A) PREVENT OR PRECLUDE ANY RECOVERY OF ATTORNEYS’ FEES OR OTHER COSTS INCURRED BY SELLER PURSUANT TO SECTION 15.5 OR (B) IMPAIR OR LIMIT THE EFFECTIVENESS OR ENFORCEABILITY OF THE INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS OF BUYER CONTAINED IN SECTION 4.3.1 AND SECTION 14 HEREOF.

13.2 Default by Seller. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if Seller (a) had actual knowledge that any of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 11.1 hereof were untrue as of the Effective Date and the failure of any such representation or warranty to be true would have a “material adverse impact” (as such term is defined in Section 11.1 hereof) on the Property, or (b) defaults in its obligations expressly stated in this Agreement, then Buyer’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be to elect one of the following: (i) to terminate this Agreement, in which event Buyer shall be entitled to the return by the Escrow Holder to Buyer of the Deposit and Seller shall reimburse Buyer for Xxxxx’s out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses), as supported by reasonable documentation satisfactory to Seller, incurred in connection with Buyer’s due diligence investigations and negotiation and execution of this Agreement, not to exceed Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000.00) in the aggregate, or (ii) if Seller’s breach arises out of its failure to sell and convey the Property to Buyer on the Closing Date, to bring a suit for specific performance for such breach provided that any suit for specific performance must be brought as to the Property within 45 days of Seller’s default, Buyer’s waiving the right to bring suit at any later date to the extent permitted by law; provided further, however, to the extent that Seller cause Xxxxx’s remedy of specific performance to be unavailable due to Seller’s selling the Property to another third-party prior to the Closing Date, then Buyer shall be entitled to recover damages from Seller. This Agreement confers no present right, title or interest in the Property to Xxxxx and Xxxxx agrees not to file a lis pendens or other similar notice against the Real Property except in connection with, and after, the proper filing of a suit for specific performance. Nothing in this Section 13.2 shall prevent or preclude any recovery of attorneys’ fees or other costs incurred by Buyer pursuant to Section 15.5.

Except for Xxxx Xxxxxxxxxxx at Xxxxxxx & Xxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxx’s broker (whose commission shall be paid by Seller pursuant to a separate agreement between Seller and Seller’s broker), neither party hereto has had any contact or dealing regarding the Real Property, or any communication in connection with the subject matter of this transaction, through any licensed real estate broker or other person who can claim a right to a commission or finder’s fee as a procuring cause of the sale contemplated herein. In the event that any other broker or finder perfects a claim for a commission or finder’s fee, the party responsible for the contact or communication on which the broker or finder perfected such claim shall indemnify, save harmless and defend the other party from said claim and all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by the other party in defending against the same.

In such event, Buyer shall deliver the Work Product to Seller not later than five (5) days after the date of the termination of this Agreement. The Work Product shall be fully paid for and shall not be subject to any lien, encumbrance or claim of any kind.

15.5 Attorneys’ Fees. If any legal action or any arbitration or other proceeding is brought or if an attorney is retained for the enforcement of this Agreement or any portion thereof, or because of any alleged dispute, breach, default or misrepresentation in connection with any of the provisions of this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover from the other reimbursement for the reasonable fees of attorneys and other costs (including court costs and witness fees) incurred by it, in addition to any other relief to which it may be entitled. The term “prevailing party” means the party obtaining substantially the relief sought, whether by compromise, settlement or judgment.
15.6 Survival of Representations, Warranties, Covenants, Obligations and Agreements.
(a)Except as otherwise expressly provided below in this Section 15.6, none of the representations, warranties, covenants, obligations or agreements contained in this Agreement shall survive the Close of Escrow or the earlier termination of this Agreement.
(b)Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 15.6(a), the indemnification provisions of Buyer under Sections 4.3.1 and 14 hereof and the provisions of Sections 4.6, 11.2, 13.2, 15.3, 15.5, 15.17 and 15.19 hereof (collectively, the “Surviving Termination Obligations”) shall survive the termination of this Agreement without limitation (provided, however, that Section 14 only survives for a period of six (6) months after termination of this Agreement), and any claim based upon any breach of a representation or warranty, or a breach of a covenant, obligation or agreement included in any of the Surviving Termination Obligations shall be actionable and enforceable at any time after the date of the termination of this Agreement.
(c)Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 15.6(a), the indemnification provisions of Buyer under Sections 4.3.1, 14 and 10.5 hereof, the provisions of Sections 4.6, 10.1, 10.2, 10.3, 10.4, 10.9, 11.2, 12.1, 12.2, and 12.3 that relate to Buyer and the provisions of Sections 15.5, 15.17 and 15.19 hereof (collectively, the “Surviving Closing Obligations”) shall survive the Close of Escrow without limitation (provided, however, that Section 14 only survives for a period of six (6) months after termination of this Agreement), and shall not be merged with the recording of the Deed, and any claim based upon any breach of a representation or warranty, or a breach of a covenant, obligation or agreement included in any of the Surviving Closing Obligations shall be actionable and enforceable at any time after the Closing.
(d)Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 15.6(a), the indemnification provisions of Seller under Section 14 hereof and the provisions of Sections 7.1(h) and 11.1 hereof (collectively, the “Limited Surviving Closing Obligations”) shall survive the Close of Escrow and the execution and delivery of the Deed only for a period of six (6) months
37
immediately following the Closing, and any claim based upon any breach of a representation or warranty, or a breach of a covenant, obligation or agreement included in any of the Limited Surviving Closing Obligations shall be actionable and enforceable if and only if notice of such claim is given to the party which allegedly breached such representation or warranty, or breached such covenant, obligation or agreement , within six (6) months after the Closing. Notwithstanding anything stated to the contrary in this Agreement, in no event shall Seller’s liability, if any, with respect to any Limited Surviving Closing Obligations and/or any Surviving Closing Obligations exceed Three Hundred Fifty-Two Thousand Dollars ($352,000.00) in the aggregate.
15.7 Entire Agreement. This Agreement contains the entire agreement and understanding of the parties in respect to the subject matter hereof, and the parties intend for the literal words of this Agreement to govern and for all prior negotiations, drafts, and other extrinsic communications, whether oral or written, to have no significance or evidentiary effect. The parties further intend that neither this Agreement nor any of its provisions may be changed, amended, discharged, waived or otherwise modified orally except only by an instrument in writing duly executed by the party to be bound thereby. The parties hereto fully understand and acknowledge the importance of the foregoing sentence and are aware that the law may permit subsequent oral modification of a contract notwithstanding contract language which requires that any such modification be in writing, but Buyer and Seller fully and expressly intend that the foregoing requirements as to a writing be strictly adhered to and strictly interpreted and enforced by any court which may be asked to decide the question. Each party hereto acknowledges that this Agreement accurately reflects the agreements and understandings of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and hereby waive any claim against the other party which such party may now have or may hereafter acquire to the effect that the actual agreements and understandings of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof may not be accurately set forth in this Agreement.
15.8 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Illinois.
15.9 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed simultaneously in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in this Agreement or in any other certificate, agreement or document related to this Agreement shall include images of manually executed signatures transmitted by facsimile or other electronic format (including, without limitation, “pdf”, “tif” or “jpg”) or an electronic signature executed through DocuSign or a similar platform. The use of electronic signatures and electronic records (including, without limitation, any contract or other record created, generated, sent, communicated, received, or stored by electronic means) shall be of the same legal effect, validity and enforceability as a manually executed signature or use of a paper-based record-keeping system to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act and any other applicable law, including, without limitation, any state law based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act or the Uniform Commercial Code. The parties hereby waive any defenses to the enforcement of the terms of this Agreement based on the form of the
38
signature, and hereby agree that such electronically transmitted or signed signatures shall be conclusive proof, admissible in judicial proceedings, of the parties’ execution of this Agreement.
15.10 Headings; Construction. The various headings of this Agreement are included for convenience only and shall not affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement or any provision hereof. When the context and construction so require, all words used in the singular herein shall be deemed to have been used in the plural and the masculine shall include the feminine and the neuter and vice versa. The use in this Agreement of the term “including” and related terms such as “include” shall in all cases mean “without limitation.” All references to “days” in this Agreement shall be construed to mean calendar days unless otherwise expressly provided and all references to “business days” shall be construed to mean days on which national banks are open for business.
15.11 Time of Essence. Seller and Xxxxx hereby acknowledge and agree that time is strictly of the essence with respect to each and every term, condition, obligation and provision hereof and failure to perform timely any of the terms, conditions, obligations or provisions hereof by either party shall constitute a material breach of, and non-curable (but waivable) default under this Agreement by the parties so failing to perform.
15.12 Partial Validity; Severability. If any term or provision of this Agreement or the application thereof to any person or circumstance shall, to any extent, be held invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement, or the application of such term or provision to persons or circumstances other than those as to which it is held invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby, and each such term and provision of this Agreement shall be valid and be enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law.
15.13 No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is for the sole and exclusive benefit of the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and assigns, and no third party is intended to, or shall have, any rights hereunder.
15.14 Intentionally Omitted.
15.15 Joint Product of Parties. This Agreement is the result of arms-length negotiations between Seller and Xxxxx and their respective attorneys. Accordingly, neither party shall be deemed to be the author of this Agreement and this Agreement shall not be construed against either party.
15.16 Calculation of Time Periods. Unless otherwise specified, in computing any period of time described herein, the day of the act or event after which the designated period of time begins to run is not to be included and the last day of the period so computed is to be included at, unless such last day is a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday for national banks in Illinois, in which event the period shall run until the end of the next day which is neither a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday. Unless otherwise expressly provided herein, the last day of any period of time described herein shall be deemed to end at 5:00 p.m. (Central Standard time).
15.17 Procedure for Indemnity. The following provisions govern actions for indemnity under this Agreement. Promptly after receipt by an indemnitee of notice of any claim, such indemnitee will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnitor, deliver to
39
the indemnitor written notice thereof and the indemnitor shall have the right to participate in and, if the indemnitor agrees in writing that it will be responsible for any costs, expenses, judgments, damages, and losses incurred by the indemnitee with respect to such claim, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel mutually satisfactory to the parties; provided, however, that an indemnitee shall have the right to retain its own counsel, with the fees and expenses to be paid by the indemnitor, if the indemnitee reasonably believes that representation of such indemnitee by the counsel retained by the indemnitor would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such indemnitee and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. The failure of indemnitee to deliver written notice to the indemnitor within sixty (60) days after indemnitee receives notice of any such claim shall relieve such indemnitor of any liability to the indemnitee under this indemnity only if and to the extent that such failure is prejudicial to its ability to defend such action, and the omission so to deliver written notice to the indemnitor will not relieve it of any liability that it may have to any indemnitee other than under this indemnity. If an indemnitee settles a claim without the prior written consent of the indemnitor, then the indemnitor shall be released from liability with respect to such claim unless the indemnitor has unreasonably withheld such consent.
15.18 Waiver of Jury Trial. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the parties hereby waive any right to trial by jury in any legal proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.
15.19 No Personal Liability. Notwithstanding anything stated to the contrary herein, Seller’s liability under this Agreement prior to the Close of Escrow shall be limited to Seller’s interest in the Property, and after the Close of Escrow, neither Seller’s constituent partners and/or members, Xxxxxx’s asset manager, Xxxxxx’s directors, employees or agents nor Buyer’s constituent partners and/or members, Xxxxx’s asset manager, Xxxxx’s directors, employees or agents shall have any personal liability hereunder.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Agreement the day and year first above written.

To inform the transferee that withholding of tax will not be required in connection with the disposition of the Property pursuant to that certain Purchase and Sale Agreement and Escrow Instructions dated as of ______________, 20__, by and between ___________________, a __________ (“Buyer”) and Seller, the undersigned certifies the following on behalf of Member:
1. Member is not a foreign corporation, foreign Company, foreign trust or foreign estate, as those terms are defined in the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder;
2. Member is not a disregarded entity as defined in Treasury Regulations §1.1445-2(b)(2)(iii),

It is understood that this certificate may be disclosed to the Internal Revenue Service and that any false statement contained herein could be punished by fine, imprisonment, or both.
Under penalties of perjury I declare that I have examined the foregoing certification and, to the best of my knowledge and belief, it is true, correct and complete, and I further declare that I have authority to sign this document on behalf of Member.

Buyer shall be deemed to have approved an executed Tenant Estoppel Certificate unless it notifies Seller in writing of its disapproval of the same (to the extent permitted above in this Section 4.4) within three (3) business days following its receipt of the same (“Rejected Estoppel”). To the extent the matters set forth in the Rejected Estoppel cannot be resolved to Buyer’s reasonable satisfaction on or prior to the Closing Date and to the extent the Rejected Estoppel is needed to satisfy the Estoppel Threshold, Buyer shall have the right to terminate this Agreement and receive a return of the Deposit.
