For the avoidance of doubt, the Permitted Exceptions shall exclude the following matters (regardless of whether Buyer makes any Title Objection or Additional Title Objection with respect to such matters) (collectively, the “Mandatory Cure Items”): (i) any existing deeds of trust, mortgages, liens or other monetary encumbrances affecting the Property; (ii) delinquent taxes or assessments; (iii) unrecorded leases or possessory rights, except as set forth in the current rent roll for the Property; and (iv) liens or potential lien rights for any contractors, materialmen or brokers.

Title Objections.

Prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, Buyer may obtain a title insurance commitment and a current survey of the Property, and Buyer may notify Seller of any objections to title or survey matters affecting the Property (“Title Objections”). Seller may elect, by written notice to Buyer, to remove or cure any such Title Objection at or prior to Closing (a “Cure Item”). If Seller does not agree in writing to remove or cure any Title Objection within five (5) days after Buyer’s delivery of such Title Objection, then Seller shall be deemed to have elected not to remove or cure such Title Objection, and any time thereafter Buyer may elect to (i) terminate this Agreement by delivering written notice thereof to Seller, in which event Holder shall promptly refund the Xxxxxxx Money to Buyer, and neither party shall have any further obligations or liability under this Agreement except as expressly provided in this Agreement or (ii) waive such Title Objection and proceed to Closing. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision herein to the contrary, Seller shall be required to satisfy or cure any Mandatory Cure Items at or prior to Closing, regardless of whether Buyer objects to the same, and any such Mandatory Cure Items shall be deemed Cure Items.

Buyer shall have the right to update the title commitment and survey for the Property after the expiration of the Due Diligence Period and prior to Closing. If any such title commitment update or survey update reveals any additional title or survey matters affecting the Property which were not previously disclosed in Buyer’s title commitment or survey, then Buyer may notify Seller of any objections to any such additional title or survey matters (“Additional Title Objections”) notwithstanding the expiration of the Due Diligence Period. Seller may elect, by written notice to Buyer, to remove or cure any such Additional Title Objection at or prior to Closing (an “Additional Cure Item”). If Seller does not agree in writing to remove or cure any Additional Title Objection within five (5) days after Buyer’s delivery of such Additional Title Objection, then Seller shall be deemed to have elected not to remove or cure such Additional Title Objection, and any time thereafter Buyer may elect to (i) terminate this Agreement by delivering written notice thereof to Seller, in which event Holder shall promptly refund the Xxxxxxx Money to Buyer, and neither party shall have any further obligations or liability under this Agreement except as expressly provided in this Agreement or (ii) waive such Additional Title Objection and proceed to Closing. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision herein to the contrary, Seller shall be required to remove or cure any Additional Title Objection relating to any title or survey matter that first affects the Property or that first appears in the public record after the Effective Date, and any such title or survey matter shall be deemed an Additional Cure Item.

Seller shall have until the Closing to cure or satisfy all Cure Items and Additional Cure Items, as applicable. If Seller fails to cure any Cure Item or Additional Cure Item, as applicable, at or prior to Closing (and fails to provide Buyer with evidence of Seller's cure satisfactory to Buyer and to the Title Company), then Buyer may elect in its sole discretion by delivering written notice to Seller: (1) to exercise Buyer’s remedies under Section 17.B with respect to such failure by Seller, which shall be deemed a default by Seller under this Agreement; (2) to waive such failure and proceed to Closing; or (3) to extend the Closing Date up to thirty (30) days as determined by Buyer to allow Seller further time to cure such Cure Item or Additional Cure Item, as applicable.

12.

Casualty Prior to Closing. If the Property is damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty prior to Closing, Seller shall give Buyer prompt notice thereof, which notice shall include Seller’s reasonable estimate of: (1) the cost to restore and repair the damage; (2) the amount of insurance proceeds, if any, available for the same; and (3) whether the damage can be repaired prior to Closing. Within ten (10) days after receiving any such notice from Seller, Buyer may terminate this Agreement by delivering written notice to Seller of such termination. In such event, Holder shall promptly refund the Xxxxxxx Money to Buyer, and neither party shall have any further obligations or liability under this Agreement except as expressly provided in this Agreement. If Buyer does not terminate this Agreement within such ten (10) day period, Seller shall promptly make any agreed-upon repairs and replacements in a good and workmanlike manner prior to Closing, and Buyer shall be deemed to have accepted Property with the damage (subject to any such agreed-upon repairs by Seller) and shall receive at Closing: (1) a credit against the Purchase Price for any insurance proceeds which have been paid to Seller but have not been spent on any agreed-upon repairs; (2) an assignment of Seller’s claim for all unpaid insurance proceeds; and (3) a credit against the Purchase Price for any unpaid deductible that may be required in connection with any such unpaid insurance proceeds.

Default.

Seller’s Pre-Closing Remedy for Buyer Default. If Buyer defaults in its obligation to close and pay the Purchase Price in accordance with this Agreement, Seller shall be entitled, as its sole and exclusive remedy, to terminate this Agreement and retain the Xxxxxxx Money as liquidated damages, in which event the parties shall have no further rights or obligations under this Agreement (except as expressly provided herein with respect to any obligations which are intended to survive the termination of this Agreement). Buyer and Seller agree that, due to the nature of this transaction, it would be impracticable and extremely difficult to fix the actual damages Seller would sustain should Buyer default in its obligation to purchase the Property. Buyer and Seller agree that liquidated damages are appropriate for this transaction and agree that the Xxxxxxx Money represents a reasonable estimate of the damages Seller would sustain by virtue of Buyer’s failure to perform its obligation to purchase the Property.

Buyer’s Pre-Closing Remedies for Seller Default. If Seller breaches any representation or warranty under this Agreement or fails to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement, Buyer shall be entitled, as its sole and exclusive remedy prior to Closing, either (a) to terminate this Agreement and receive a refund of the Xxxxxxx Money Deposit, and Seller shall reimburse Buyer an amount equal to the out-of-pocket costs incurred by Buyer in connection with the transaction contemplated by this Agreement, which reimbursement obligation of Seller shall survive the termination of this Agreement, or (b) to enforce specific performance of Seller’s obligations under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, as a result of any intentional or willful default by Seller, the remedy of specific performance is not available to Buyer, then Buyer shall have the right to pursue all remedies available at law or in equity with respect to such intentional or willful default by Seller.

Post-Closing Remedies for Default. If, after the Closing, Seller or Buyer fails to perform any of its obligations which expressly survive the Closing, or if either party discovers a breach of a representation or warranty during the Survival Period, then Seller or Buyer, as the case may be, may exercise any remedies available to it at law or in equity, including specific performance or an action for damages.

Notice and Cure. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, no breach, failure or default by Buyer or Seller (as applicable, the “Defaulting Party”) shall result in the exercise of any rights or remedies with respect to such breach, failure or default, unless and until the Defaulting Party shall be notified in writing by a document from the other party entitled “Notice of Default” (including reasonable specifics about the breach, failure or default), and the Defaulting Party shall have failed to cure the specified breach, failure or default within ten (10) days after receipt of such written notice.

Other Provisions.

Entire Agreement and Modification: This Agreement constitutes the sole and entire agreement between the parties hereto, supersedes all of their prior written and verbal agreements and shall be binding upon the parties and their successors, heirs and permitted assigns. This Agreement may not be amended or modified except upon the written agreement of Buyer and Seller.

Governing Law and Interpretation: This Agreement may be signed in multiple counterparts each of which shall be deemed to be an original. No provision herein, by virtue of the party who drafted it, shall be interpreted less favorably against one party than another. All references to time shall mean Eastern Time. The governing law shall be those of the state in which the Property is located.

Time of Essence: Time is of the essence with respect to this Agreement.

Determination of Time Periods. In calculating any period of time provided for in this Agreement, unless otherwise expressly provided herein, the number of days shall refer to calendar days and not business days. If any day scheduled for performance of any obligation or the last day of any other period of time falls on a weekend or holiday observed by national banks or banks in the state where the Property is located, the day for performance shall be extended to the next business day.

Terminology: As the context may require in this Agreement: (1) the singular shall mean the plural and vice versa; and (2) all pronouns shall mean and include the person, entity, firm, or corporation to which they relate.

Duty to Cooperate: Seller and Buyer agree to do all things reasonably necessary and in good faith before and after Closing (including executing and delivering such additional documents as required by law or as reasonably requested by the other party) to fulfill the terms of this Agreement and carry out the intent and purpose of the parties as set forth in this Agreement.

Electronic Signatures: For all purposes herein, an electronic or facsimile signature shall be deemed the same as an original signature; provided, however, that each party agrees to promptly re-execute a conformed copy of this Agreement with original signatures if requested to do so by the other party.

Tax Deferred Exchange. Upon the request of either party, the parties agree to execute and deliver all documents and perform such acts as are reasonably necessary to enable the transactions contemplated by this Agreement to qualify as a like kind exchange of real property under Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (an “Exchange”). The requesting party shall bear all additional expenses incurred by the non-exchanging party arising out of the Exchange which would not otherwise have been attendant to this transaction, and the non-exchanging party shall not be required to incur any additional cost or liability in connection with such Exchange. Closing shall not be delayed as a result of any such Exchange. If the requesting party is unsuccessful in its efforts to structure this transaction as an Exchange, such occurrence shall not be deemed or construed as the failure of a condition precedent to that party’s obligations under this Agreement and Closing shall proceed without the intended Exchange.

Attorneys’ Fees. In the event suit is brought to enforce or interpret all or any part of this Agreement, or if suit is brought for any other relief permitted hereunder, the prevailing party in such suit shall be entitled to recover reasonably attorneys’ fees and costs incurred in connection with such suit to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.
