All personal property taxes and any special assessments or roll-back taxes against the Property shall be paid by Seller on or prior to the Closing Date. If any special assessments become due and owing after the Closing Date, each party agrees to pay its pro rata share of such special assessments based upon the period of time each party owned the Property. Seller shall be responsible for the payment of any roll-back taxes assessed against the Property for the period prior to the Closing Date which are triggered by a change in use. The foregoing provisions of this Paragraph 7(a) shall not apply to any taxes, assessments, or other payments which are directly payable by the Tenant.

The provisions of this Paragraph 7 shall survive Closing.

Title Examination. Buyer shall have the right to examine the title to the Property and Seller shall obtain and deliver to Buyer a title commitment (the “Title Commitment”) from the Escrow Agent within fifteen (15) days after Xxxxx has delivered the Deposit to the Escrow Agent. If Buyer has any objections to the title to the Property or the Title Commitment or any survey matter, Buyer shall advise Seller in writing prior to the expiration of the fifteen (15) days following receipt of the Title Commitment and the survey obtained by Xxxxx (the “Title Examination Period”) of its objections to title. The objections to title may be based on a survey of the Property obtained by Buyer under Paragraph 9. If Buyer timely objects to any title exception or survey matter (the “Title Objections”), Seller may, but will not be obligated to, cure such Title Objections and shall notify Buyer in writing within five (5) Business Days after the receipt of the Title Objections of the status of such cure (said notice hereinafter called “Seller’s Title Notice”). If Seller notifies Buyer that Seller is unable or unwilling to cure any Title Objection (or Seller’s proposed efforts to cure are not satisfactory to Buyer), Buyer shall be deemed to have waived such Title Objections (and any title matters of record as of the Effective Date) unless Xxxxx delivers to Seller written notice terminating this Agreement on or before the later of (i) ten (10) days following receipt of Seller’s Title Notice or (ii) the expiration of the Inspection Period. If Seller elects to cure certain Title Objections, Seller shall use good faith efforts to cure such Title Objections on or before the Outside Closing Date, but Seller’s failure to cure any such Title Objections shall not be deemed a default under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller covenants to cure, at or prior to Closing, all objections that may be satisfied by the payment of a fixed sum of money, including, without limitation, any deeds of trust, mortgages or statutory liens, real estate tax liens (other than liens for taxes and assessments not yet delinquent) and any other involuntary encumbrances, including, without limitation, judgments, attachments and executions, and Seller’s failure to cure such objections shall be a default under this Agreement. If Seller fails to timely provide Seller’s Title Notice, Buyer shall be deemed to have waived the Title Objections, unless Xxxxx delivers to Seller written notice terminating this Agreement on or before the later of (i) ten (10) Business Days after the five (5) Business Day period in which Seller was obligated to provide Seller’s Title Notice or (ii) the expiration of the Inspection Period. If Buyer terminates this Agreement pursuant to this Paragraph 8, (a) the Deposit shall be promptly returned to Buyer by the Escrow Agent, (b) this Agreement shall be terminated, and (c) neither Buyer nor Seller shall have any further rights or obligations under this Agreement, except in those sections which expressly survive the termination of this Agreement.

Seller shall allow no encumbrances or easements to be placed on or granted with respect to the Property, other than those existing as of the Effective Date, without the prior written consent of Buyer (which may be granted or withheld in Buyer’s sole discretion). If any such encumbrances or easements arise prior to the Closing Date and Buyer has not consented thereto, Seller shall, at its sole expense, cure the matters objected to prior to the Outside Closing Date.

Survey. Buyer may cause a licensed surveyor or engineer to prepare an accurate survey of the Property with such parameters as Buyer shall determine.

10.

Seller shall use good faith, commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Billboard Tenant to complete and return the Billboard Tenant Estoppel and the Billboard Assignment prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Buyer acknowledges that the Billboard Tenant is not obligated to provide an estoppel certificate per the terms of the Billboard Lease and that the Billboard Tenant Estoppel shall not be a condition to closing.

(g)

If, prior to the Closing Date, the Property or any part thereof is damaged or destroyed by fire, the elements or any other destructive force or cause, Seller shall give immediate written notice of such damage or destruction to Buyer and evidence of Seller’s insurance coverage on the Property. If such damage or destruction is reasonably estimated by Buyer to cost $25,000.00 or more to repair, Buyer may elect to terminate this Agreement by delivery of written notice to Seller within ten (10) days after receipt of written notice from Seller of such damage or destruction, in which case the Deposit shall be returned to Buyer and this Agreement shall be deemed null and void other than the Surviving Obligations.

Defaults and Liquidated Damages. If Buyer fails to comply with or perform in any material respect any of the conditions to be complied with or any of the covenants, agreements or obligations to be performed by Buyer under the terms and provisions of this Agreement, and Buyer fails to cure its breach or non-performance hereunder within ten (10) days of Buyer’s receipt of a reasonably detailed notice specifying such breach or non-performance, the sole remedy of Seller shall be to terminate this Agreement by delivery of written notice to Buyer, in which event Seller may retain the Deposit as liquidated damages and as Seller’s sole and exclusive remedy at law and in equity, it being agreed that Seller’s damages in the event of a default by Xxxxx would be difficult to estimate precisely and that the Deposit constitutes the parties’ best estimate of such damages. Upon any such termination, neither party shall have any further rights or obligations regarding this Agreement other than the Surviving Obligations.

If Seller breaches in any material respect any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement or fails to comply with or perform in any material respect any of the conditions to be complied with or any of the covenants, agreements or obligations to be performed by Seller under the terms and provisions of this Agreement, and Seller fails to cure any such breach or non-performance hereunder within ten (10) days of Seller’s receipt of a reasonably detailed notice specifying such breach or non-performance, Buyer may, as Buyer’s exclusive remedies against Seller for Seller’s default, either: (i) obtain specific performance of the obligations of Seller under this Agreement (and if Buyer is successful in obtaining specific performance, Seller agrees to indemnify Buyer for all Buyer’s costs and expenses, including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs, incurred in such action), or (ii) terminate this Agreement, receive an immediate refund of the Deposit and receive an immediate reimbursement from Seller for all reasonable, documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Buyer as a result of this Agreement, up to $35,000. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the remedy of specific performance is not available due to the nature of Seller’s default, then Buyer shall have the right to pursue all damages and remedies available at law or in equity.

14.

Commissions. Buyer and Seller represent and warrant to each other that no brokers’ or real estate commissions will be due as a result of the sale of the Property from their respective actions. Xxxxxx agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Buyer from and against any cost and expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by Xxxxx as a result of the untruth of the foregoing representation by Xxxxxx, or any claims by a broker (other than the Broker) for payment of a commission by Buyer based upon the actions of Seller. Xxxxx agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Seller from and against any cost and expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by Seller as a result of the untruth of the foregoing representation by Xxxxx, or any claims by a broker (other than the Broker) for payment of a commission by Seller based upon the actions of Buyer. The terms and covenants of this Paragraph 14 shall survive the Closing.

15.

Seller and Buyer and their respective counsel shall have the right to change their respective address and/or e-mail address by providing written notice of such change in address and/or e-mail address as required under this Paragraph 15.

Escrow of Deposit. Escrow Agent is appointed to receive, hold and disburse the Deposit in accordance with the following terms and conditions:

(a)

The Deposit shall be invested by Escrow Agent in an interest-bearing account at a national bank.

(b)

Any interest earned on the Deposit shall be reinvested for so long as the escrow shall continue, and shall be considered a part of the Deposit.

(c)

In the event this Agreement is terminated, Xxxxxx Agent is instructed to disburse the Deposit in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(d)

In the event the sale of the Property is closed, Escrow Agent is instructed to deliver the Deposit to Seller to be treated as a credit against the Purchase Price, or, at the election of Xxxxx, returned to Buyer.

(e)

Buyer and Seller agree that Escrow Agent shall not be liable for any reason except gross negligence or intentional misconduct.

(f)

Escrow Agent shall comply with any terms contained in this Agreement with respect to the disbursement of the Deposit. Any request for disbursement shall be signed by Xxxxx and Seller; provided, however, that: (i) if Buyer terminates this Agreement prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period, Seller’s consent to the disbursement of the Deposit to Buyer shall not be required, and (ii) if either party makes a written request for disbursement to Escrow Agent, with a copy to the other party, and the other party fails to object in writing within ten (10) days, the Escrow Agent shall be authorized to disburse the Deposit to the requesting party. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Escrow Agent is authorized to disburse the Deposit in accordance with the order of judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.

(g)

In connection with this escrow, Xxxxx and Seller agree to execute such agreements as Escrow Agent may reasonably request. In the event of any dispute regarding the application of the Deposit, Escrow Agent shall be authorized to disburse the Deposit to a court of competent jurisdiction, to be held pending resolution of that dispute.

17.

Time of the Essence. Time shall be of the essence in the performance of all obligations under this Agreement. If the time period by which any right, option or election provided under this Agreement must be exercised, or by which any act required under this Agreement must be performed, or by which Closing must be held, expires on a day other than a Business Day, then such time period shall be automatically extended to the next Business Day. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Business Day” means any day other than Saturday, Sunday, any federal legal holiday, or any day on which banking institutions in Charlotte, North Carolina or the county in which the Property is located, are obligated or authorized by law to close for the normal conduct of banking business.

18.

Assignment. Buyer shall have the right to assign this Agreement without the prior written consent of Seller; provided, however, that no such assignment shall relieve Buyer from liability under this Agreement unless, at the time of such assignment, either (a) the assignee has an “Investment Grade” credit rating or (b) if the assignee does not have an “Investment Grade” credit rating, the obligations of the assignee under the Agreement are guaranteed by an entity with an “Investment Grade” credit rating. Seller shall have no right to assign its rights or obligations under this Agreement, and any such assignment shall be null and void.

For purposes of this section, “Investment Grade” shall mean a credit rating of Baa3 or better by Xxxxx’x (or its equivalent under any successor rating categories of Xxxxx’x) or a Credit Rating of BBB- or better by S&P (or its equivalent under any successor rating categories of S&P).

19.

Method of Execution; Counterparts. Seller and Xxxxx may deliver executed signature pages to this Agreement by facsimile transmission or PDF via email to the other party, which facsimile or PDF copy shall be deemed to be an original executed signature page. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which counterparts together shall constitute one agreement with the same effect as if the parties had signed the same signature page.

20.

Entire Agreement, Modification. This Agreement constitutes the entire and complete agreement between the parties with respect to the Property and supersedes any prior oral or written agreements between the parties. No modification of this Agreement, and no waiver of any of its terms or conditions, shall be effective unless made in writing and duly executed by both parties.

21.

Binding Effect. All covenants, agreements, warranties and provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, personal representatives, successors and assigns.

22.

Controlling Law. This Agreement has been made and entered into under the laws of the state in which the Property is located, and those laws shall control the interpretation of this Agreement.

23.

Attorneys’ Fees. If any party hereto institutes an action or proceeding relating to or arising out of this Agreement, or the transaction contemplated hereby, or in the event any party is in default of its obligations pursuant hereto and thereto, whether or not suit is filed or prosecuted to final judgment, the prevailing party shall be entitled to reasonable attorneys’ fees and to all court costs incurred, in addition to any other damages or relief awarded.

24.

Confidentiality/Exclusive Dealing. So long as this Agreement remains in effect, Seller shall not (i) seek or entertain any other offers for the sale of the Property or any portion thereof, or (ii) disclose the existence or terms of this Agreement to any person without Buyer’s consent other than to Seller’s representatives who need terms of this Agreement to evaluate the transaction and who agree to be bound by the restrictions contained herein or except as such disclosure may be required by applicable law.

25.

Operation Prior to Closing. Xxxxxx agrees to continue to maintain, operate and manage the Property in the same manner between the Effective Date and the Closing Date as it currently is being managed and operated. Seller agrees to enter into no agreements or contracts (including any leases) and to incur no major expenses relating to the Property prior to the Closing Date without Buyer’s prior written consent, which consent may be granted or withheld in Buyer’s sole discretion. The Property shall be in the same condition on the Closing Date as on the Effective Date, reasonable and ordinary wear and tear from normal use excepted.

Prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period, Buyer shall notify Seller in writing of the Operating Agreements that it elects to assume (the “Assumed Operating Agreements”), and Seller shall, at its sole cost and expense, cancel the Operating Agreements that Xxxxx has elected not to assume prior to the Closing Date. If Xxxxx fails to notify Seller in writing of the Operating Agreements it elects to assume prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period, Buyer shall be deemed to have elected not to assume any of the Operating Agreements, and Seller shall cancel all of the Operating Agreements prior to the Closing Date.
