The Purchase Price shall be paid to Seller by Buyer as follows:
A. Escrow. Within five (5) days following the full execution of this Agreement, an escrow (“Escrow”) will be opened at First American Title Insurance Company, 0000 Xxxx Xxxxxx Xxxx, Xxxxx 000, Xxxxxxx, XX 00000 (“Title Company”), Attn: Xxxx Xxxxx, Escrow Officer, Tel.

In the event Buyer terminates this Agreement before the expiration of the Review Period pursuant to Paragraph 5.B, the Deposit (less any escrow cancellation charges) shall be returned to Buyer.
2
C. Balance of Purchase Price. Buyer shall pay the balance of the Purchase Price, plus or minus prorations and other charges or amounts payable pursuant to this Agreement, to Seller in immediately available funds through the Escrow at the Closing Date.
4. Title.
A. Title Policy. Seller shall convey good and clear record and marketable title to the Properties to Buyer by limited warranty deed for the Ohio properties and by special warranty deed for the Sanford Property, subject only to the following exceptions to title (“Permitted Exceptions”):
(1) A lien to secure payment of real estate taxes and assessments not yet due and payable; and
(2) Such other exceptions to title as may be approved by Buyer pursuant to the provisions of Paragraph 4.B.
Any mortgage or other monetary liens on the Properties (“Monetary Liens”) shall be discharged, released as to the Properties or paid by Seller at Closing. On the Closing Date (as defined in Paragraph 8), the Title Company shall issue to Buyer its ALTA extended coverage owner’s policy of title insurance (“Owner’s Policy”) in the face amount of the Purchase Price, showing title to the Properties vested of record in Buyer, subject only to the Permitted Exceptions.
B. Survey and Title Documents. Upon execution of this Agreement, but prior to the expiration of the Review Period as defined herein, Buyer may commission an ALTA survey covering the Land and all improvements on the Land and otherwise in form sufficient to permit deletion of the survey exception from the Owner’s Policy (“Survey”) and Buyer shall obtain a preliminary title report or title commitment for the issuance of the Owner’s Policy (“Title Report”) together with legible copies of all title exception documents shown thereon (“Title Documents”). Buyer’s approval of exceptions to title and the Survey shall be a condition precedent to Buyer’s obligation to purchase the Properties. Within fourteen (14) days after receipt of the Survey, Title Report and Title Documents, and within five (5) days after any updates or supplements thereto, Buyer shall furnish to Seller a written list of any objections to matters shown on the Title Report or the Survey, stating the items to which Buyer objects and the reasons therefor (“Disapproval Notice”). Seller shall then have fourteen (14) days after the date of such Disapproval Notice to make such arrangements or take such steps to satisfy Buyer’s objection(s) or to notify Buyer that it cannot or will not correct such issue (“Title Cure Period”). If (i) Seller is unable to remove or correct such objection(s) within the Title Cure Period and (ii) Buyer does not waive, in writing, its disapproval, then this Agreement shall terminate, the Deposit (less any escrow cancellation charges) shall be returned to Buyer, and the parties shall have no further obligations to each other except for such provisions that specifically survive the termination of this Agreement. If Buyer fails to timely give the Disapproval Notice as set forth herein, the condition in this Paragraph 4.B shall be deemed satisfied, and Buyer shall be deemed to have accepted all matters contained in the Title Report and the Survey.
5. Inspection.
A. Property Information. Upon full execution of this Agreement, Seller shall make available to Buyer the items listed on Exhibit “B” attached hereto, as well as such other information that Buyer may reasonably request, all of which Seller has in its possession or under its control (collectively, “Property Information”).
3
B. Review Period. Upon execution of this Agreement and expiring forty-five (45) days thereafter (“Review Period”), Buyer shall have the opportunity to review the Property Information and perform such investigations, inquiries, and feasibility studies, as it deems appropriate to decide whether the Properties are acceptable to Buyer. All costs and expenses in connection with any such study or investigation shall be borne solely by Buyer. Buyer’s obligation to purchase the Properties as herein provided shall be subject to Buyer’s approval of the Properties in its sole discretion. Seller shall provide access to the Properties to Buyer and Buyer’s agents and consultants during normal business hours for the purpose of conducting any such investigations, inquiries or feasibility studies. However, Buyer shall give advance notice of any such inspections and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts not to interfere with Seller’s operations. Buyer shall indemnify and hold Seller harmless from and against all liability, claims, demands, damages or costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, arising from or connected with Buyer’s inspection of the Properties. If before the end of the Review Period Buyer sends written notice to Seller that the Properties are acceptable to Buyer (“Acceptance Notice”), Buyer shall be obligated to close the transaction as provided herein. If Buyer fails to send an Acceptance Notice to Seller before the end of the Review Period, Buyer shall be deemed to have decided that the Properties are not acceptable to Buyer, the obligation of Seller to sell and Buyer to buy the Properties shall automatically terminate and the Deposit (less any escrow cancellation charges) shall be returned to Buyer without further action by the parties. In such event, Buyer agrees to execute any reasonable correspondence indicating that the Agreement has been terminated. Such obligation shall survive the termination of the Agreement.
C. Leaseback. During the Review Period, Buyer and Seller shall use their good faith efforts to negotiate four mutually agreeable leases that will be executed and placed into Escrow for Closing, one each for the CF Building Property, Xxxxxx Street Property, Xxxxxx Xxxxx Property and the Sanford Property (each a “Lease” and, collectively, the “Leases”) pursuant to which Seller shall lease back each of the foregoing properties from Buyer for a period of twenty (20) years on an absolute bond type lease basis wherein all costs of ownership and property related expenses shall be the sole responsibility of Seller. The Leases shall each be cross defaulted for the Initial Term(s). The total initial annual rent for the Properties for the first year shall be $2,275,000, which payment shall be allocated among the four (4) properties as Seller may determine, subject to Buyer’s reasonable approval. Thereafter, the annual rent shall increase annually based upon the applicable geographical CPI. The Leases shall each have three (3) 10-year renewal options, which options shall be deemed automatically renewed unless Seller elects to cancel any such option upon not less than eighteen (18) months prior written notice. Annual rent during each option term shall be based upon the greater of (i) the then fair market rental rate for each individual Property, or (ii) the then current rent and shall continue to increase annually by the applicable CPI.

13. Condemnation.
Excepting the Notice of Intent to acquire a pipeline easement over a portion of the Xxxxxx Xxxxx Land, if prior to the Closing Date, all or a material portion of any of the Properties or the means of ingress or egress thereon is taken by eminent domain (or is the subject of a pending or contemplated taking which has not been consummated), including, but not limited to, any land donation or public space requirements or encumbrances on the Properties requiring contributions by Seller, Seller shall promptly notify Buyer of such fact.

14. Indemnification.
For a period of one (1) year after Closing, Seller shall hold harmless, indemnify and defend Buyer, including reasonable attorney’s fees and costs, from and against: (1) any and all claims, suits, demands, actions or proceedings in any way related to the Properties and arising or accruing before the Closing Date, or in any way related to or arising from any act, conduct, omission, contract or commitment of Seller at any time or times; and (2) all costs and expenses,
8
including attorneys’ fees, related to any actions, suits or judgments incident to any of the foregoing. Buyer shall notify Seller of any such claim against Buyer within thirty (30) days after it has notice of such claim, but failure to notify Seller shall in no case prejudice the rights of Buyer under this Agreement unless Seller shall be prejudiced by such failure and then only to the extent of such prejudice. Should Seller fail to discharge or undertake to defend Buyer against such liability upon learning of the same, then Buyer may settle such liability and Seller’s liability to Buyer shall be conclusively established by such settlement, the amount of such liability to include both the settlement consideration and the reasonable costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, incurred by Buyer in effecting such settlement.
15. Liquidated Damages/Specific Performance.
A. Seller and Buyer acknowledge that it would be extremely impractical and difficult to ascertain actual damages that would be suffered by Seller if Buyer fails to consummate the purchase of the Properties as and when contemplated by this Agreement. Accordingly, if Buyer fails to close the transaction for purchase of the Properties when required by this Agreement, the Deposit and any interest accrued thereon shall be delivered by Title Company to Seller as liquidated damages as Seller’s sole and exclusive remedy for Buyer’s breach or default, whereupon this Agreement shall terminate and Buyer and Seller shall be relieved of further liability hereunder, at law or in equity.
B. If Seller shall be in material breach of any obligation of Seller under this Agreement and shall not have cured such breach on or prior to the Closing Date, Buyer may terminate this Agreement and/or pursue all remedies provided at law or in equity, including specific performance. If this Agreement is terminated by Buyer pursuant to this paragraph, the Deposit shall be immediately returned to Buyer.
16. Possession.
Possession of the Properties, subject to the rights of Seller as tenant under the Leases, shall be delivered to Buyer at the Closing.
17. Miscellaneous.
