16. FIRE OR OTHER CASUALTY: (a) Damage to the Premises by fire or other
insured-against casualty between the date hereof and the time of Closing shall
not impair the obligations of either party under this Agreement. In
consideration thereof, Seller agrees to continue to maintain full insurance
risks generally known as extended coverage, at Seller's cost and expense, until

excluding rent insurance) collected prior to Closing, together with the amount
of all deductibles, will be credited on account of the Purchase Price by
reducing the amount due Seller at Closing, and all unpaid claims and rights in
connection with losses under such policies (but specifically excluding rent
insurance) will be assigned to Buyer at Closing. The amount of any unpaid claims
will not, however, be credited on account of the Purchase Price. The
A-20
term "net proceeds" as used above shall mean those insurance proceeds remaining
after application of the gross insurance proceeds for restoration and repair.
(b) Notwithstanding anything contained in Paragraph 16(a) to
the contrary, in the event that the cost of restoration or repair of damage to
the Premises by fire or other casualty between the date hereof and the time of
Closing (1) is less than ten (10%) percent of the Purchase Price for the
Premises hereunder and the Purchase Money Lender determines to not close the
Purchase Money Mortgage Loan solely as a result of the fire or other casualty,
or (2) exceeds ten (10%) percent of the Purchase Price for the Premises
hereunder, Buyer shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by serving
written notice thereof upon Seller within fifteen (15) days following receipt of
notice of such fire or other casualty and in that event, this Agreement shall be
cancelled and terminated and the Deposit, together with interest earned thereon,
shall be returned to Buyer and neither party shall have any further liability or
obligation to the other hereunder except with respect to the indemnifications
contained in Paragraphs 5(e), 7 and 22; in the absence of exercising said right
within said fifteen (15) day period, such right shall be deemed waived and
cancelled.
17. EMINENT DOMAIN: (a) In the event Seller receives any notice of any
condemnation proceedings, or other proceedings in the nature of eminent domain,
Seller will forthwith send a copy of such notice to Buyer. If (1) a Substantial
Portion (being defined herein as a taking which will result in an award in
condemnation and/or damages in excess of ten (10%) percent of the Purchase Price
for the Premises hereunder) of the Premises is taken by eminent domain or (2)
less than a Substantial Portion of the Premises is taken by eminent domain and
the Purchase Money Lender determines to not close the Purchase Money Mortgage
Loan solely as a result of such taking, Buyer may, upon written notice to Seller
within fifteen (15) days after receipt of notice of such taking, elect to cancel
this Agreement, and in such event the Deposit, together with interest earned
thereon, shall be returned to Buyer hereunder and neither party shall have any
further liability or obligation to the other hereunder except with respect to
the indemnifications contained in Paragraphs 5(e), 7 and 22. If a Substantial
Portion of the Premises is taken or condemned and this Agreement is not
cancelled, Seller shall, at Closing assign to Buyer all of Seller's right, title
and interest in and to any awards in condemnation, or damages of any kind, to
which Seller is or may have become entitled, but has not received, by reason of
any exercise of the power of eminent domain with respect to or for the taking of
the Premises or any part thereof, or credit on account of the Purchase Price by
reducing the amount due Seller at Closing, the amount of
A-21
any such awards or damages which Seller has theretofore received.
(b) If less than a Substantial Portion of the Premises is
taken by eminent domain, and this Agreement is not cancelled pursuant to
Paragraph 17(a)(2) above, the obligations of the parties under this Agreement
shall not be impaired and this Agreement shall not be cancelled, and Seller
shall, at Closing, assign to Buyer all of Seller's right, title and interest in
and to any awards in condemnation, or damages of any kind, to which Seller is or
may become entitled, but has not received, by reason of any exercise of the
power of eminent domain with respect to or for the taking of any part of the
Premises, or credit on account of the Purchase Price by reducing the amount due
Seller at Closing, the amount of any such awards or damages which Seller has
theretofore received.
18. DEFAULT BY BUYER: In the event the Buyer fails to comply with or
otherwise defaults in any of the provisions of this Agreement, the Deposit shall
be retained by the Seller as liquidated damages; the foregoing shall be Seller's
sole remedy in the event Buyer fails to comply with or otherwise defaults in any
of the provisions of this Agreement. Furthermore, in the event the Buyer
defaults under the terms of any of the Agreements of Sale described on SCHEDULE
F attached hereto, same shall constitute a default by Buyer under the terms of
this Agreement, and the Deposit shall be retained by the Seller as liquidated
damages. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Paragraph 18 to the
contrary, the indemnifications contained in Paragraphs 5(e), 7 and 22 shall
survive termination of this Agreement and remain in full force and effect.

Agreement, none of the covenants, conditions, representations, warranties, and
agreements of Seller contained in this Agreement shall survive Closing
hereunder, notwithstanding any legal presumption which may be to the contrary.

except to an entity in which a wholly owned subsidiary of Berwind Property

general partners.
21. RECORDATION: The parties hereto agree that this Agreement of Sale
shall not be recorded by either party in any public recording office or
elsewhere. Recordation of this Agreement by Buyer shall be deemed to be a
substantial breach by Buyer of this Agreement and, at Seller's option, this
Agreement may
A-22
thereby be declared to be null and void and Buyer hereby grants to Seller,
without further authorization, its Power of Attorney to do whatever is necessary
to make, execute, acknowledge and deliver any and all proper documents and/or
instruments in order to discharge the said recordation of this Agreement.
22. BROKERAGE: The parties represent and warrant to each other that no
finders, real estate brokers or other persons entitled to claim a fee or
commission have interested either of them in this transaction; and the parties
hereto expressly agree to indemnify and save harmless each other of and from the
payment of any and all finders' and brokers' fees and commissions caused and/or
created by the acts or conduct of the other. The provisions of this paragraph
shall survive Closing or the termination of this Agreement.
23. ESCROW OF DEPOSIT: (a) The Deposit shall be held in escrow by
Sherman, Silverstein, Xxxx, Xxxx & Xxxxxxxx, P.A., Attorneys-at-Law, herein
referred to as Escrow Agent, who shall pay the same over to the Seller at the
time of Closing hereunder or shall pay the same over to the party entitled
thereto upon the cancellation or termination of this Agreement of Sale, and in
either event said Escrow Agent shall thereupon be discharged from all
liabilities therefor.

safekeeping of the Deposit and shall not be responsible for the resolution of
any questions of fact or law. In the event of a dispute arising between the
parties, said Escrow Agent is authorized to deposit the Deposit into Court or
hold the same until said dispute is resolved. The parties hereto understand and
agree that in the event of any such dispute, none of the parties hereto shall
assert or allege that Escrow Agent has a conflict of interest respecting its
obligations hereunder, and Escrow Agent shall be permitted to represent Seller
in connection with any such dispute.
(c) The Escrow Agent shall hold/invest the Deposit in such
interest-bearing account(s) in a federally insured bank or savings institution
or investment as may be designated by the Buyer. The interest earned on the
Deposit being held in escrow shall be paid to the party entitled to the Deposit
pursuant to Paragraph 23(a) above.
24. DEFAULT BY SELLER: (a) Prior to title passing and the completion of
Closing, in the event of Seller's default hereunder, Buyer's sole remedies shall
be that of specific performance without abatement of purchase price or
termination of this Agreement and
A-23
return of the Deposit, together with interest earned thereon; in no event shall
Buyer be entitled to damages of any kind or nature.
(b) Prior to title passing and completion of Closing, with
respect to any representations or warranties of Seller contained in this
Agreement, Buyer's obligations hereunder are contingent upon such
representations and/or warranties contained in this Agreement being true and
correct as of the date hereof and where the context indicates, as of the date of
Closing, but recision of this Agreement and return of the Deposit, together with
interest earned thereon, shall be Buyer's exclusive remedy for any breach of any
representation and/or warranty by Seller.
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a willful
and intentional material breach of a covenant or warranty by Seller under this
Agreement or if Seller makes a willful and intentional material
misrepresentation in this Agreement, Buyer shall be entitled to terminate this
Agreement and to the return of the Deposit, together with interest earned
thereon, and to recourse against Seller for actual damages sustained by Buyer in
connection with this Agreement; the foregoing shall be Buyer's sole remedies
under this subparagraph.
(d) Subsequent to title passing and the completion of Closing,
Buyer shall have recourse against Seller for actual damages sustained solely for
Seller's breach of representations and warranties which survive Closing, which
breach is discovered by Buyer after Closing; the right to pursue said recourse
shall expire and terminate, as to any right on which action has not then been
initiated, at the expiration of the survival periods set forth herein.
25. ENTIRE AGREEMENT: This Agreement together with the Exhibits annexed
hereto constitutes and expresses the whole agreement of the parties hereto with
reference to the subject matter hereof and to any of the matters or things
