(xv) such certificates as shall be reasonably required by the Title Company in order to omit from its title insurance policy all exceptions for judgments, bankruptcies or other returns against persons or entities whose names are the same as or similar to Seller's name;
(xvi) all other documents and instruments required by this Agreement to be executed and/or delivered by Seller at Closing; and
(xvii) any other documents, instruments or agreements reasonably necessary to effectuate the transactions contemplated hereunder, in accordance with the express terms, covenants and conditions hereof.

Purchaser;
(ii) the Assignment and Assumption of Lease;
(iii) Intentionally omitted;
(iv) all consents and resolutions required to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, certified to be true and complete by an authorized officer of Purchaser;
(v) such affidavits, agreements and instruments as shall be reasonably required by the Title Company;
(vi) all other documents and instruments required by this Agreement to
be delivered by Purchaser at Closing; and
(vii) any other documents, instruments or agreements reasonably necessary to effectuate the transactions contemplated hereunder, in accordance with the express terms, covenants and conditions hereof.
9.4 Intentionally Omitted.
9.5 (a) Promptly after the execution and delivery of this Agreement, Seller agrees to request the confirmation that an estoppel certificate in the form of Exhibit B attached hereto is an acceptable form by the Tenants (the "Estoppel Form"). If Seller receives such confirmation from the tenants it shall promptly advise the Purchaser in writing, (the “Confirmation Notice"). The parties agree that, subject to the provisions of subparagraph (b) below, it shall be a condition to Purchaser's obligation to close title under this Agreement that an estoppel certificate substantially in the form of the Estoppel Form (if Seller has delivered the Confirmation Notice), dated not earlier than forty-five (45) days prior to the Scheduled Closing Date be delivered to Purchaser from the Required Tenants, as defined in Schedule B below, (the "Tenant Estoppel") not less than five (5) business days prior to the Scheduled Closing Date, with Seller having the right to adjourn the Scheduled Closing Date for up to thirty (30) days in order to obtain the Tenant Estoppels from the Required Tenants. Seller agrees to use good faith efforts to obtain such estoppels from the Tenants, provided however, Seller shall not be obligated to expend any funds in order to do so. In the event Seller is unable to deliver Tenant Estoppels from the Other Tenants prior to the Scheduled Closing Date, as defined in Schedule B below, Seller shall deliver a Seller signed estoppel on the Estoppel Form. In the event that any representation or warranty of Seller set forth in this Agreement is confirmed in a Tenant Estoppel, such Seller's representation and warranty shall be deemed not made by Seller. Seller's delivery of the Tenant Estoppels from the Required Tenants shall be deemed a pre-condition to Purchaser's obligation to close hereunder. It is hereby acknowledged and agreed that Seller shall have no liability to Purchaser of any nature whatsoever (and Seller shall not be responsible for any costs or damages), if any Tenant shall fail at any time to execute and deliver the Tenant Estoppel either in the form of the Estoppel Form or as required by the Leases.
(b) The parties agree that the Tenant Estoppel containing de minimus exceptions, qualifications or modifications shall be deemed to be an acceptable estoppel certificate for purposes of this Section 9.5, provided that same shall not have any impact on the economic terms and conditions of the Lease, the enforceability of the Lease or the rights of Seller as landlord under the Leases (as determined by Purchaser in Purchaser's sole but commercially reasonable discretion)(a "Material Change"); and provided further that such Tenant Estoppel shall not allege a default by either the landlord or tenant under the Leases. In the event the Tenant Estoppel contains a Material Change or alleges a material default by Seller or Tenant under the Leases (a "Material Default"), Purchaser's sole and exclusive remedy shall be to terminate this Agreement by delivering notice thereof in writing to Seller no later than five (5) business days after the date of delivery to Purchaser of a Tenant Estoppel alleging a Material Change and/or a Material Default (the "Estoppel Termination Notice"), time being of the essence as to the giving of such notice. If Purchaser shall timely give the Estoppel Termination Notice, then this Agreement shall terminate, and upon such termination, Purchaser shall be entitled to the return of the Downpayment with all interest earned thereon, and neither party shall have any
obligation hereunder other than the Surviving Obligations. If Purchaser shall not have given timely the Estoppel Termination Notice, time being of the essence as to the giving of such notice, Purchaser shall be deemed for all purposes to be satisfied with the form and substance of the Tenant Estoppel and shall have no further right to object thereto or to terminate this Agreement based on the Tenant Estoppel.
Article 10. Transfer Taxes, Title Insurance and Other Expenses.
10.1 All New York State and New York City Real Property Transfer Taxes payable in connection with the transfer of the Premises to Purchaser, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereunder shall be paid by Seller at the Closing.
10.2 Purchaser shall pay for the following prior to or at the Closing:
(a) all State, City, County and municipal recording charges with respect to the deed;
(b) all costs and expenses in connection with Purchaser's financing (if any), and costs for the filing of all documents necessary to complete such financing and related documentary stamp tax and intangibles tax (as the same may be applicable), provided, however, nothing herein contained shall be deemed to create a financing contingency or to condition Purchaser's obligations hereunder on Purchaser's ability to obtain financing, and this shall be deemed to be an "all cash" transaction;
(c) the cost of Purchaser's own survey, survey re-date, and due diligence investigations;
(d) at the Closing, Purchaser shall pay the premium for an owner' s/mortgagee' s policy of title insurance for the Premises and any endorsements thereto. The title insurance policy may be issued by the Title Company or an Alternate Title Company.
10.3 Each party shall pay its own legal fees incidental to the negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

Article 11. Apportionments.
11.1 The following shall be apportioned between the parties as of 11:59 P.M.
on the day immediately preceding the Closing Date:
(a) rents, additional rents, escalation charges, insurance reimbursements and
other tenant charges under the Leases (collectively, the "Rents"), as and when collected;
(b) real estate taxes and assessments, if any, on the basis of the fiscal year for which assessed (including without limitation real estate tax reimbursement obligations with respect to the named tenants under the Leases). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if real estate taxes shall be the responsibility of tenant named under the Leases, and if Tenant shall not then be in monetary default under the Leases, then the same shall not be adjusted between Seller and Purchaser at Closing (other than reimbursement and adjustment obligations related to payments made to or by Seller as landlord under the Leases);
(c) water meter and frontage charges and sewer rents, if any, based upon a final water meter reading obtained by Seller, at Seller's sole expense, dated not more than forty five (45) days prior to the Closing Date. Any adjustments for the period subsequent to such reading shall be made on a per diem basis based upon the most recent average daily usage, as shown by the special water meter reading. In the event the final water reading is not available as of the Closing Date, the Closing shall nevertheless proceed and the parties shall apportion the meter charges and sewer rents on the basis of the last readings and bills received by Seller and the same shall be appropriately readjusted after the Closing on the basis of the next subsequent bills (with Seller being obligated to pay all such utility charges pertaining to the period prior to Closing, and Purchaser being obligated to pay all such charges pertaining to the period thereafter). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if water and sewer charges shall be the responsibility of tenant named under the Leases, and if Tenant shall not then be in monetary default under the Leases, then the same shall not be adjusted between Seller and Purchaser at Closing.
(d) vault taxes or charges, if any, unless same shall be the responsibility of tenant named under the Leases;
(e) value of fuel stored on the Premises, if any, at the price then charged by Seller's supplier, including any taxes, based upon a reading obtained by Seller not more than three (3) days prior to the Closing, unless same shall be the responsibility of tenant named under the Leases; and
(f) business improvement district charges and other governmental and quasigovernmental taxes, fees, assessments and charges, unless same shall be the responsibility of tenant named under the Leases (other than reimbursement and adjustment obligations related to payments made to or by Seller as landlord under the Leases);
11.2 Except as expressly provided to the contrary herein, all apportionments and adjustments shall be made in accordance with the customs and practice of the Real Estate Board of New York.
11.3 If any past due rent or additional rent shall be owing by Tenant on the
Closing Date, Purchaser and Seller agree that the first moneys received by Purchaser
from the Tenant, net of the reasonable out-of-pocket costs of collection, shall be applied in the following order of priority: (a) first, to the month in which the Closing occurred; (b) then, to any month or months following the month in which the Closing occurred; (c) then, to the month immediately preceding the month in which the Closing occurred; and (d) then, to the period prior to the month immediately preceding the month in which the Closing occurred. All such monies received by Purchaser for such past due rentals shall be held in trust for Seller, and Purchaser agrees to remit forthwith to Seller the amount of such past due rentals to which Seller is entitled, as and when so collected, together with a reasonable accounting of the amounts collected and the collection costs. In no event shall Seller be permitted to xxx the Tenant to collect any rent arrears. Purchaser shall use reasonable efforts (but not litigation) to collect arrears in the payment of rent after the Closing, and Purchaser shall not consent to the release or waiver of any arrears without the consent of Seller (which shall not be unreasonably withheld).
11.4 Seller is hereby authorized, but is not obligated, to continue any proceedings for reduction of the assessed valuation of the Premises that are pending on the Closing Date and (with respect to any such proceedings for tax years prior to the tax year in which the Closing Date shall occur) to settle or compromise the same in Seller's sole discretion. Any settlement or compromise in connection with such proceedings brought with respect to the tax year in which the Closing Date shall occur shall be made by Seller in consultation with, and with the consent of, Purchaser (which consent shall not be umeasonably withheld or delayed). If a tax refund shall be obtained by reason of an adjustment of the assessed valuation of the Premises attributable to a period prior to the Closing Date, the same shall be the property of Seller (less the reasonable costs of collection, including attorneys and accounting fees). If any such refund shall be obtained for a period including the Closing Date, the amount of such refund (less the cost of obtaining the same, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' and accounting fees) shall be apportioned according to length of the respective portions of such period during which each party owned the Premises and subject to adjustment and apportionment pursuant to the Leases. If any such refund or portion thereof to which Purchaser shall be entitled as hereinbefore provided shall be paid to Seller, Seller shall receive the same as trust funds for the benefit of Purchaser and shall forthwith remit the same thereto.
11.5 Purchaser shall be entitled to a credit against the Purchase Price in the amount of $550,000 representing the $250,000 rent credit (less any amounts credited to the tenant under the Dress Barn Lease prior to the Closing) and the $300,000 construction allowance (less any amounts paid by Seller to the tenant under the Dress Barn Lease prior to the Closing)The Dress Barn, Inc. is entitled to as set forth in Sections 2E and 32 of the lease between 1100 Kings Owner and The Dress Barn, Inc (the “Dress Barn Lease”) and Purchaser at Closing shall assume all obligation to the tenant under the Dress Barn Lease to pay the construction allowance.

Closing.

With respect to any condemnation or taking (or any notice thereof), if Purchaser does not elect to cancel this Agreement as aforesaid, there shall be no abatement of the Purchase Price and Seller shall assign to Purchaser at the Closing the rights of Seller to the claims or awards, for the condemnation or taking, and Purchaser shall be entitled to receive and keep all such awards.

Article 13. Covenants of Seller.
13.1 Seller covenants and agrees that, except as otherwise provided in the
Agreement, between the date of this Agreement and the Closing Date, Seller (either itself or through an agent) shall continue to manage and operate the Premises in substantially the same manner as Seller has heretofore managed and operated the Premises, and to perform all of Seller's obligations as the landlord under the Leases through the Closing Date. Seller will not enter into any covenants, nor voluntarily create any new title encumbrances affecting the
Premises between the date hereof and the Closing which will remain in force and effect after the Closing Date.
13.2 Purchaser shall be permitted to have reasonable access to the Premises from time to time, between the date of this Agreement and the Closing Date, during business hours and upon reasonable prior notice to Seller subject to the rights of tenant named under the Leases. Such access shall be under the supervision of Seller or Seller's real estate broker, and shall be conducted in a manner which shall not interfere with the business operations of Tenant at the Premises.
13.3 Seller shall not modify or amend any Service Contract or enter into any new service contract unless the same shall be terminable by Seller prior to Closing.

Article 15. Remedies.
15.1 If Purchaser defaults in its obligation to purchase the Premises, or if
Purchaser defaults in any of its other obligations under this Agreement, Seller's sole remedy shall be to receive and retain the Downpayment, and any interest thereon, as liquidated damages, it being agreed that Seller's damages in case of Purchaser's default might be difficult or impossible to ascertain, and that the Downpayment, and the interest thereon. constitutes a fair and reasonable amount of damages under the circumstances and is not a penalty.
15.2 If Seller defaults in its obligation to convey the Premises hereunder.
Purchaser's sole and exclusive remedy shall be either (i) to seek specific performance of this Agreement, or (ii) to terminate this Agreement and to receive a refund of the Downpayment (together with any interest thereon) and to seek reimbursement for Purchaser's expenses relating to this Agreement, including its due diligence expenses not to exceed $25,000. Purchaser shall elect between the remedies in clauses (i) and (ii) above no later than 45 days after Purchaser becomes aware of Seller's default, and Purchaser may not seek to pursue both remedies simultaneously. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event Seller makes the remedy of specific performance unavailable by its own willful acts, in addition to the remedies set forth above, Purchaser may commence an action against Seller to recover the actual damages incurred by Purchaser as a result of Seller's actions, including, without limitation, Purchaser's reasonable legal fees and expenses, provided that said actual damages are verified by Purchaser to Seller. In no event shall Purchaser be entitled to recover damages from Seller relating to Seller's default except as aforesaid. Nothing contained herein shall preclude or prohibit Purchaser from waiving any default or alleged breach or default by Seller and closing on the
purchase of the Premises, notwithstanding such default, without any abatement of the Purchase Price.
Article 16. Escrow Agent.
16.1 The Downpayment shall be held, paid over and/or applied by Escrow
Agent in accordance with the following:
(a) If this Agreement shall be terminated by Purchaser prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, then the Downpayment, and any interest thereon, shall automatically be paid to Purchaser, without any further notice or authorization. At the Closing, the Downpayment, and any interest thereon, shall automatically be paid by Escrow Agent to Seller, without any further notice or authorization.
(b) In instances other than those described in Section 16.1(a) above, the following shall apply: if either Seller or Purchaser (the "Requesting Party") has a good faith belief that it is entitled to the Downpayment pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, then the
Requesting Party may submit to Escrow Agent a written request for disbursement of the
Downpayment, which request shall in all cases be accompanied by a good faith written explanation as to why the Requesting Party believes it is entitled to the Downpayment pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. The Requesting Party, simultaneously with its submission of such written request to the Escrow Agent, shall deliver a copy of such request and explanation to the other party (the "Non-Requesting Party"). Moreover, within two (2) business days after Escrow Agent's receipt of such request and explanation from the Requesting Party, Escrow Agent shall deliver a copy of the same to the Non-Requesting Party. If, within five (5) business days after the Non-Requesting Party's receipt of such request and explanation from the Escrow Agent, the Non-Requesting Party fails to dispute the entitlement of the Requesting Party to the Downpayment, then the Escrow Agent may disburse the Downpayment to the Requesting Party. However, if, within five (5) business days after the Non-Requesting Party's receipt of such request and explanation from the Escrow Agent, the Non-Requesting Party notifies Escrow Agent and the Requesting Party that (in substance) the Non-Requesting Party disputes the entitlement of the Requesting Party to the Downpayment, then Escrow Agent shall continue to hold the Downpayment until otherwise directed by joint written instructions from Seller and Purchaser or a final judgment of a court having jurisdiction. Escrow Agent, however, shall have the right at any time to deposit the Downpayment with the clerk of any federal or state court sitting in the City of New York. Escrow Agent shall give written notice of such deposit to Seller and Purchaser. Upon such deposit, Escrow Agent shall be relieved and discharged of all further obligations and responsibilities hereunder. All notices and deliveries under this Section must be made in accordance with Article 17 below.
(c) The parties acknowledge that Escrow Agent (i) is acting solely as a stakeholder at their request and for their convenience, (ii) shall not be deemed to be the
agent of either of the parties and (iii) shall not be liable to either of the parties for any act or omission on its part unless caused by Escrow Agent's willful misconduct or gross negligence. Seller and Purchaser shall jointly and severally indemnify and hold Escrow Agent harmless from and against all costs, claims and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements, incurred in connection with the performance of Escrow Agent's duties hereunder, unless caused by Escrow Agent's willful misconduct or gross negligence. Escrow Agent shall not be liable for any losses suffered in connection with any such investment (except to the extent of Escrow Agent's gross negligence or willful misconduct) and shall have no obligation to obtain the best, or otherwise seek to maximize, the rate of interest earned on any such investment. Escrow Agent shall be entitled to rely or act upon any notice, instrument or document believed by Escrow Agent to be genuine and to be executed and delivered by the proper person, and shall have no obligation to verify any statements contained in any notice, instrument or document or the accuracy or due authorization of the execution of any notice, instrument or document. Escrow Agent shall not be bound by any modification to this Section 16.1 unless Escrow Agent shall have agreed to such modification in writing. Escrow Agent is not a party to this Agreement except to the extent of its specific responsibilities hereunder, and does not assume or have any liability for the performance or non-performance of Purchaser or Seller hereunder to either of them. Any fees or charges in connection with such investment shall be paid out of the amounts held in escrow before any other payments shall be required to be made from such amounts.
16.2 Escrow Agent has acknowledged its agreement to the foregoing provisions of this Article 16 by signing in the place indicated on the signature page of this Agreement.

Article 18. Seller's Obligations as to Leases.
18.1 Provided this Agreement is in full force and effect between the date of this Agreement and the Closing, Seller shall not, without Purchaser's prior written consent (which may be granted or withheld in Purchaser's sole and absolute discretion): (a)
amend,
modify, renew or extend the Leases in any respect; or (b) terminate the Leases except by reason of a default by the Tenant thereunder (provided, however, that Purchaser shall not be obligated to purchase the Premises from Seller if the Leases shall be terminated or if Tenant shall be in default thereunder).
18.2 Between the date of this Agreement and the Closing, Seller shall not permit occupancy of, or enter into any new lease for, space which is presently vacant or which may hereafter become vacant, without the prior written consent of Purchaser.
18.3 It shall be a condition precedent to Purchaser's obligation to close on the purchase of the Premises on the Closing Date that (i) the Leases shall be in full force and effect; (ii) the tenants named under the Leases shall then be in physical occupancy of substantially all of the Premises demised under the Leases and shall not have moved out of the Premises, other than by reason of a casualty, (iii) the tenants named under the Leases shall not then be in default under the their respective lease, after written notice and beyond the expiration of any applicable cure periods; (iv) Seller, as landlord, shall not then be in default under the Leases, after written notice and beyond the expiration of any applicable cure periods; and (v) the tenant named under the Leases shall not then be subject to a bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding, and shall not have delivered notice to Seller of its intention to file for bankruptcy.
Article 19. Assignment.
19.1 Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights of Purchaser hereunder may be assigned or transferred by Purchaser without Seller's prior written consent, which may be granted or withheld in Seller's sole and absolute discretion, and any purported assignment or encumbrance without Seller's prior written consent shall be null and void, and shall constitute a default hereunder, which default is not capable of being cured.
19.2 Notwithstanding the foregoing, subsequent to the expiration of the Due
Diligence Period, Purchaser may assign all of Purchaser's rights and obligations hereunder to any wholly owned subsidiary of Purchaser or a wholly owned subsidiary directly or indirectly of American Realty Capital New York Recovery REIT, Inc. or American Realty Capital Trust III, Inc., or to any affiliates or related companies of such entities, without the prior written consent of Seller; provided, however, that Purchaser shall not be released from its obligations hereunder by reason thereof and Purchaser notifies Seller in writing of said assignment and delivers a fully executed assignment and assumption agreement with respect to the matter all of same to be received by Seller at least five (5) business days prior to the Closing. Purchaser agrees that Purchaser shall not assign this Agreement to an unrelated third-party prior to the Closing Date in a so-called "flip" transaction.
Article 20. Due Diligence Period.
20.1 Purchaser will have a period of thirty (30) days from and after the date of this Agreement (the "Due Diligence Period") to conduct and complete any required due diligence of the Premises, as reasonably determined by Purchaser. To the extent not delivered to Purchaser prior to the date hereof, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser, within five (5) days after the date of this Agreement, copies of the following items more particularly described on Schedule C hereto to the extent, if any, in Seller's Possession; as used in this Agreement, the term "Seller's Possession" or "possession of Seller" or words of similar import shall mean and include documents maintained in Seller's files located at the Premises or with Seller's managing agent for the Premises. Seller's failure to deliver to Purchaser any of the above items within the period provided shall not result in the extension of the Due Diligence Period, and Purchaser's sole remedy therefor shall be Purchaser's right to terminate this Agreement by delivering written notice thereof to Seller on or prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period and to receive a return of the Downpayrnent, in which event neither party shall have any obligation hereunder except for such obligations which are expressly stated herein to survive the Closing or the termination of this Agreement (the "Surviving Obligations"). During the Due Diligence Period, and subject to the rights of Tenant, Purchaser shall be permitted to enter the Premises and inspect and evaluate the Premises, and to conduct non-invasive studies, tests and investigations thereon, as well as (i) to review the books and records of Seller with respect to the Premises, Seller's work (as described in the Leases), the Leases and matters relating thereto; (ii) to inspect Seller's work (as described in the Leases), and to consult with Seller's architect with respect thereto (if necessary); (iii) to contact authorized representatives of Tenant, under the direction of Seller; (iv) to review title and a survey of the Premises; (v) to perform an engineer's inspection of the Premises and/or a Phase I environmental site assessment. At any time prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, Purchaser may provide notice and may cancel the Agreement for any reason or no reason and this Agreement shall be null and void and the parties hereto shall be relieved of all further obligations and liability under this Agreement, except for Surviving Obligations. In such instance, Purchaser shall be entitled to a full refund of the Downpayment (together with any interest earned thereon), immediately upon notice to Escrow Agent (without any right for Seller to object to the release of the Downpayment to Purchaser). Purchaser shall restore the Premises to substantially and materially its condition existing immediately prior to Purchaser's inspection, testing, investigation and survey thereof.
20.2 TIME SHALL BE OF THE ESSENCE with respect to Purchaser's actions pursuant to this Article 20. In the event either Purchaser shall fail to timely deliver written notice of its intent to cancel the Agreement pursuant to this Article 20 prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, Purchaser shall be deemed to have waived the right to cancel this Agreement as provided in this Article 20.
20.3 Purchaser agrees that, in making any physical or environmental inspections of the Premises, Purchaser and all of Purchaser's agents entering onto the Premises shall carry not less than Two Million ($2,000,000) Dollars commercial general liability insurance with a company licensed to do business in the state where the Premises
is located insuring all activity and conduct of Purchaser and such representatives while exercising such right of access. Seller shall be named as additional insured on such commercial general liability policy. Purchaser represents and warrants that it carries not less than Two Million ($2,000,000) Dollars commercial general liability insurance with contractual liability endorsement which insures Purchaser's indemnity obligations and will provide Seller with written evidence of same.
