10.6.1 If Seller elects to sell or lease any portion of the Retained Property to any unaffiliated third party, prior to conducting any marketing activity, Seller will deliver to Buyer a written offer (the “Offer”) setting forth all the material terms upon which Seller proposes to sell or lease the Retained Property and offering to sell or lease the Retained Property to Buyer on the same terms. Buyer shall have ten (10) business days after receipt of an Offer in which to notify Seller (the “Notice”) that it would like to purchase the Property on the terms set forth in the Offer. If Buyer provides the Notice, within a reasonable time thereafter Seller and Buyer shall enter into a mutually satisfactory purchase and sale agreement (on substantially similar terms as this Agreement to the extent such terms are relevant) with respect to the sale of the Retained Property, or a mutually satisfactory lease of the Retained Property, and the sale or lease of the Retained Property will be completed pursuant to such agreement or lease. If Buyer does not timely deliver the Notice or rejects the Offer or if despite reasonable good faith efforts, Buyer and Seller fail to enter into a purchase agreement or lease within forty-five (45) days after delivery of Buyer’s Notice, Seller may sell or lease the Retained Property pursuant to Section 10.6.2.
10.6.2 If Buyer does not timely deliver the Notice, Seller may sell or lease the Retained Property to any unaffiliated third party on any terms desired by Seller so long as the terms are not “materially more favorable” to the third party buyer than those of the Offer. In the event that the proposed terms of a sale or lease are “materially more favorable” than the terms of the Offer, then Seller shall re-offer the Retained Property to Buyer on such terms and Buyer shall have five (5) business days after receipt of the written re-offer in which to deliver a Notice with respect to the re-offer. If Buyer provides the Notice, then within a reasonable time thereafter, Seller and Buyer shall enter into a mutually satisfactory purchase and sale agreement on substantially similar terms as this Agreement to the extent such terms are relevant) with respect to the sale of the Retained Property, or a mutually satisfactory lease, as the case may be, and the sale or lease will be completed pursuant to such agreement or lease. If Buyer does not timely deliver the Notice or rejects the re-offer, or if despite reasonable good faith efforts, Buyer and Seller fail to enter into a purchase agreement or lease within forty-five (45) days after delivery of Buyer’s Notice, Seller may sell or lease the Retained Property to any unaffiliated third party on terms that are not “materially more favorable” to the third party buyer than the terms of the re-offer. For the purpose of this Paragraph, “materially more favorable” means that the aggregate value of the purchase price (or rent) and the other economic terms of the third-party purchase (or lease) is lower than ninety-five percent (95%) of the purchase price (or rent) and the other economic terms of the Offer or re-offer, as applicable.
10.6.3 Notwithstanding that Buyer may have rejected or not timely delivered a Notice with respect to an Offer or re-offer, Seller shall keep Buyer informed about Seller’s efforts to market the Retained Property, and Buyer’s Right of First Offer shall continue until the Retained Property is sold to Buyer or a third party in accordance with Section 10.6. If, and only if, Seller sells the Retained Property to a third party in compliance with the terms of this Section 10.6, the Retained Property shall no longer be subject to Buyer’s Right of First Offer. The provisions of this Section 10.6 shall not apply to any sale or lease of any portion of the Retained Property to any wholly-owned subsidiary of Seller, or to any transfer in connection with a merger, acquisition or consolidation of Seller.

10.6.4 Buyer’s Right of First Offer shall be subject and subordinate at all times to the lien of any mortgage, deed of trust, ground lease, synthetic lease or other financing instruments which may now exist or hereafter be executed, for which the Retained Property or any ground leases or underlying leases, or Seller’s interest or estate in any of said items, is specified as security. Buyer agrees to execute and deliver, upon demand by Seller and in the form reasonably requested by Seller, any additional documents evidencing the subordination of Buyer’s Right of First Offer.
10.6.5 The covenants set forth in Section 10.6 shall survive the Closing indefinitely until the property is sold or leased to Buyer or a third party in accordance with Section 10.6.

11.3 Buyer’s Remedies Prior to Closing.
(a) If Seller is in default or breach of the Agreement (and Buyer is not then in breach of the Agreement), such default or breach becomes actually known to Buyer prior to expiration of the Due Diligence Period and Buyer does not timely provide the Approval Notice, this Agreement shall terminate and Buyer shall be entitled to reimbursement from Seller of the documented costs of its Due Diligence Investigation, up to a maximum amount of Three Hundred Thousand Dollars ($300,000). If Buyer timely delivers the Approval Notice, Buyer shall be deemed to have waived all defaults or breaches by Seller actually known to Buyer prior to expiration of the Due Diligence Period.
(b) If, after expiration of the Due Diligence Period and prior to the Closing, Seller is in breach or default of the Agreement (and Buyer is not then in breach of the Agreement) and such breach or default was not actually known by Buyer during the Due Diligence Period, Buyer shall be entitled to all remedies for Seller’s breaches, whether at law or in equity (including, without limitation, terminating the Agreement, closing Escrow and recovering damages and/or seeking specific performance), subject to the limitations set forth in Section 11.6.

11.6 Seller’s Default after Closing; Limitation of Liability. If Seller is in breach of its obligations under this Agreement, including without limitation an uncured breach of any of Seller’s representations and warranties under this Agreement and such breach becomes known to Buyer after expiration of the Due Diligence Period, or if any other Seller breach occurs or is discovered after the Closing of Escrow, then notwithstanding any provision to the contrary herein: (i) Seller’s maximum aggregate liability, and the maximum aggregate amount which may be awarded to and collected by Buyer (whether the claim is brought in contract, tort, equity or otherwise) and including any amounts for attorney’s and experts’ fees and costs shall under no circumstances whatsoever exceed Six Million Eight Hundred Seventy-Five Thousand Dollars ($6,875,000) and (ii) no claim by Buyer alleging a default by Seller may be made, and Seller shall have no liability for the same, unless and until such claims, either alone or together with any other claims made by Buyer under this Agreement, is for an aggregate amount in excess of Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars ($25,000) (“Threshold Amount”), in which event Seller’s liability respecting any final judgment concerning such claim(s) shall be for the full amount thereof. If any such final judgment is for an amount less than the Threshold Amount, then Seller shall have no liability with respect to such claim(s). In no event shall Buyer have any claims for lost opportunity, lost profits or other damages of a consequential, special or indirect nature.
