Property”). The Real Property, together with the Leases, the Contracts, the Personal Property and the Intangible Property, is hereinafter referred to collectively as the “Property”.
B. Buyer desires to purchase from Seller, and Seller desires to sell to Buyer, the Property.
The terms of this Agreement and Escrow Holder’s instructions are as follows:
1. Purchase and Sale. Seller agrees to sell to Buyer, and Buyer agrees to
purchase from Seller, the Property upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.
2. Purchase Price. The Purchase Price (“Purchase Price”) for the Property shall be One Hundred Fifty-Seven Million and No/100 Dollars ($157,000,000.00). The
Purchase Price shall be payable as follows:
(a) Deposit. Prior to 5:00 P.M. (California time) on the second (2nd) business day after delivery to Buyer and Escrow Holder of a fully executed copy of this Agreement, Buyer shall deliver or cause to be delivered to Chicago Title Company (“Escrow
Holder”), at the address set forth above, cash or other immediately available funds in the amount of Three Million and No/100 Dollars ($3,000,000.00) (the “Deposit”). The Deposit shall be invested in an interest earning account
designated by Buyer, subject to Seller’s reasonable approval, established with a national banking association in Los Angeles, California, reasonably approved by Seller and Buyer, and any interest earned thereon shall be a part of the Deposit
for all purposes under this Agreement. At the “Close of Escrow” (as hereinafter defined), the Deposit, and any interest accruing thereon, shall be applied and credited toward payment of the Purchase Price.
(b) Cash Balance. One (1) business day prior to the “Closing Date”
(as that term is defined below), Buyer shall deposit into Escrow cash or other immediately available funds in the amount of the balance of the Purchase Price, less an amount equal to the then outstanding principal balance of the “Existing
Loan” if the Closing Date is the “Assumption Closing Date” (as those terms are defined below), plus Buyer’s share of expenses and prorations, provided, however, if the calendar day immediately preceding the Closing Date is not a
business day, then Buyer at its option shall deposit the foregoing amount in Escrow on or prior to 9:00 A.M. (California time) on the Closing Date, or if the foregoing amount is deposited in Escrow after 9:00 A.M. (California time) on the Closing
Date, then by such time so that the funds due Seller pursuant to this Agreement are received by Seller in sufficient time for reinvestment on the Closing Date and if the Closing occurs with the “Assumption” (as hereinafter defined),
“Lender” (as hereinafter defined) receives the amount required for payoff of the “Existing Loan” (as hereinafter defined) by the time provided by Lender for payoff of the Existing Loan, and provided further, if such amount is
deposited in Escrow after 9:00 A.M. (California time) on the Closing Date and the funds due Seller pursuant to this Agreement are not received by Seller in sufficient time for reinvestment on the Closing Date and/or if the Closing occurs without the
Assumption, Lender does not receive the amount required for payoff of the Existing Loan by the
2
time provided by Lender for payoff of the Existing Loan, then Buyer shall reimburse Seller for loss of interest due to the failure to reinvest
Seller’s funds on the Closing Date and/or any interest charged by Lender for failure to receive the payoff amount by the time provided by Lender, as applicable. The provisions of this Paragraph 2(b) shall survive the Close of Escrow.
(c) Assumption of Existing Loan. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, Buyer shall use diligent and commercially reasonable efforts to assume that certain loan in the principal amount of Ninety Million and No/100 Dollars ($90,000,000.00) encumbering the Property (the
“Existing Loan”) with Landesbank Schleswig-Holstein Girozentrale, Kiel, as lender (“Lender”) and to cause such assumption and the Close of Escrow to occur on the “Assumption Closing Date” (as that term is defined
below), although Buyer and Seller will endeavor to cause such assumption to occur earlier and in such event Buyer and Seller shall each endeavor to cause the Close of Escrow to occur earlier. Such assumption shall be on terms acceptable to Buyer and
Lender, but shall in all events be at no cost to Seller and shall include a release from Lender releasing Seller from all obligations under the Existing Loan (all such documents evidencing such assumption by Buyer, such release of Seller and
Lender’s approval thereof are herein referred to as the “Assumption Documents” and the transaction evidenced by the Assumption Documents is herein referred to as the “Assumption”). Without limiting the foregoing, the
Assumption shall be on terms acceptable to Buyer in its sole discretion. Any Assumption fee and other costs payable to or otherwise required by Lender in connection with Lender’s approval of, or efforts to obtain Lender’s approval of, the
Assumption shall be the sole responsibility of Buyer. Buyer shall promptly submit to Lender any documents reasonably required by Lender in order to secure Lender’s approval of the Assumption as soon as possible. If the Assumption and Close of
Escrow is not completed on or before the Assumption Closing Date, then Buyer and Seller shall continue to use diligent and commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Assumption and Close of Escrow to occur on or prior to the “Outside Closing
Date” (as that term is defined below). The Assumption Documents approved by Lender, Seller and Buyer shall be delivered into Escrow on or prior to the Closing Date. The Assumption is a condition to the Close of Escrow on the Assumption Closing
Date, but the Assumption is not a condition to the Close of Escrow on the Outside Closing Date. If the Assumption Documents have not been submitted into Escrow on or prior to the Outside Closing Date, the Close of Escrow shall occur on the Outside
Closing Date on an “all-cash” basis with no Assumption. If the Close of Escrow occurs with the Assumption, all interest accrued under the Existing Loan through midnight of the day immediately preceding the Close of Escrow shall be paid by
Seller, with Buyer responsible for all interest under the Existing Loan accruing thereafter, Buyer shall pay any recording charges with respect to the Assumption Documents, and Buyer shall, at the Close of Escrow, receive a credit against the
Purchase Price in an amount equal to the then outstanding principal balance of the Existing Loan. Prior to the Close of Escrow, Seller agrees not to modify the terms of the Existing Loan except as may be requested in connection with the Assumption.
If the purchase and sale contemplated under this Agreement is consummated without the Assumption, then at the Close of Escrow, Seller shall pay all amounts necessary to convey the Property free and clear of the Existing Loan including, without
limitation, the payment of any prepayment penalties or other sums payable under the Existing Loan.
3. Escrow. Buyer and Seller shall promptly evidence the opening of Escrow by delivering a fully executed copy of this Agreement to Escrow Holder. The “Close of
Escrow” is defined in Paragraph 5(d) below. The Close of Escrow shall occur no later than December 26,
3
2002 (the “Outside Closing Date”). The “Assumption Closing Date” shall be December 18, 2002, or such later date (but in all
events on or prior to the Outside Closing Date) on which the Assumption Documents are delivered into Escrow. All references herein to the “Closing Date” shall mean the Assumption Closing Date or the Outside Closing Date, as applicable. In
all events, the Assumption Closing Date shall be a date that is a business day which is followed by a business day; otherwise the Assumption Closing Date shall be the next soonest date that is a business day which is followed by a business day.
Buyer and Seller hereby authorize their respective attorneys to execute and deliver to Escrow Holder any additional or supplementary instructions as may be necessary or convenient to implement the terms of this Agreement and close the transactions
contemplated hereby, provided such instructions are consistent with and merely supplement this Agreement and shall not in any way modify, amend or supersede this Agreement. Such supplementary instructions, together with the escrow instructions set
forth in this Agreement, as they may be amended from time to time by the parties in writing, shall collectively be referred to as the “Escrow Instructions”. The Escrow Instructions may be amended and supplemented by such standard terms and
provisions as the Escrow Holder may request the parties hereto to execute; provided such instructions are consistent with and merely supplement this Agreement and shall not in any way modify, amend or supersede this Agreement unless Seller and Buyer
shall agree in writing to the contrary; and provided further, that the parties hereto and Escrow Holder acknowledge and agree that in the event of a conflict between any provision of such standard terms and provisions supplied by the Escrow Holder
and the Escrow Instructions, the Escrow Instructions shall prevail.
4. Buyer’s
Investigations.
(a) Access to and Delivery of
Materials. Seller has delivered to Buyer or made available for review at Seller’s offices or at the Real Property all documents (other than “Excluded Documents” (as defined below)) in Seller’s
possession regarding the Property (collectively, “Seller’s Documents”). Prior to execution of this Agreement, Seller has delivered to Buyer and Buyer has received copies of certain Seller’s Documents listed on Exhibit
“G” attached hereto, which documents include a current preliminary title report (the “Title Report”) issued by Chicago Title Company (“Title Company”), together with copies of all title exception documents listed
therein. At all times prior to the Closing Date, Seller agrees to use diligent, commercially reasonable and good faith efforts to respond promptly to all inquiries and requests made by Buyer or its employees, agents, consultants and attorneys for
existing documents or information in Seller’s possession regarding the Property. As used herein, “Excluded Documents” shall mean any documents involving either Seller’s financing or refinancing of the Property (other than the
Existing Loan), any purchase and sale agreements and correspondence pertaining to Seller’s acquisition of the Property, any documents pertaining to the potential acquisition of the Property by any past or prospective buyers, any third party
purchase inquiries and correspondence, appraisals of the Property, attorney-client privileged documents, internal budgets or financial projections, and any other internal documents other than internal documents relating to the physical condition of
the Property. Excluded Documents shall not include “Tenant” (as hereinafter defined) correspondence files. All third party reports shall be delivered to Buyer without representation or warranty by or recourse against Seller or any third
party preparing such report or any of their respective partners, members, employees, officers, directors, agents, subsidiaries or affiliates, and its or their respective successors and assigns (and Buyer hereby releases the same from and against any
obligation or liability in connection
4
therewith). On termination of this Agreement for any reason, Buyer shall promptly return all Seller’s Documents and other information, of
whatever nature and in whatever form, with respect to the Property, heretofore or hereafter delivered by Seller, or third party reports obtained by Buyer and/or created in reliance upon such information, in the same condition as received, without
any copies of Seller’s Documents being retained by Buyer. All such third party reports shall be delivered to Seller without representation or warranty by or recourse against Buyer or any third party preparing such report or any of their
respective partners, members, employees, officers, directors, agents, subsidiaries or affiliates, and its or their respective successors and assigns (and Seller hereby releases the same from and against any obligation or liability in connection
therewith). In any such event, and as a covenant which shall survive the termination of this Agreement (as opposed to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement), all such information, as well as the terms of this Agreement,
shall be treated by Buyer as confidential and none of it shall be disclosed by Buyer to any other party thereafter for any purpose or in any context, except as provided in Paragraph 20 below.
(b) Due Diligence. Buyer has, prior to execution of this Agreement, reviewed
any and all due diligence activities which Buyer may choose to conduct or commission, including without limitation, a review of: Seller’s Documents, the condition of title to the Real Property as disclosed by the Title Report, the condition of
the improvements located on the Real Property and all operating systems relating thereto, the presence of “Hazardous Materials” (as hereinafter defined), if any, the status of the Contracts and the Leases, compliance with
“Governmental Regulations” (as hereinafter defined), and any and all other matters of similar or dissimilar nature relating in any way to the Property or Buyer’s purchase of the Property (collectively, the “Due Diligence”).
(c) Nestlé Estoppel Certificate. Seller shall
use commercially reasonable efforts to have Nestlé USA, Inc. (“Nestlé”) execute an estoppel certificate for the benefit of both Seller and Buyer in the form attached hereto as Exhibit “H” and with such
changes made by Nestlé and Buyer as are acceptable to Buyer in Buyer’s sole discretion (the “Nestlé Estoppel Certificate”) on or prior to December 3, 2002 (the “Contingency Date”). Seller makes no
representation as to whether the Nestlé Estoppel Certificate will be returned prior to the Contingency Date, and Buyer shall make its own determination as to whether to proceed based on the information contained in the Nestlé Estoppel
Certificate, if any, received by the Contingency Date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Buyer shall not communicate with any Tenants under the Leases without obtaining the prior written consent of Seller, which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld, and without affording Seller a reasonable opportunity to have a representative of Seller participate in any conversations with such Tenants. Seller agrees to reasonably cooperate with Buyer in scheduling meetings
with Tenants and inspections of the Property by Buyer and its representatives, agents and consultants.
(d) Buyer’s Right to Terminate. If Buyer has not received the Nestlé Estoppel Certificate on or prior to the Contingency Date, Buyer may terminate this Agreement
at any time prior to 5:00 P.M. (California time) on the Contingency Date by delivering written notice thereof to Seller and Escrow Holder, whereupon this Agreement shall terminate in accordance with Paragraph 5(c) of this Agreement. In the
event Buyer so elects to terminate this Agreement, Escrow Holder shall pay to Seller from the Deposit the sum of Twenty-Five and No/100 Dollars ($25.00) and the balance of the Deposit shall be refunded by Escrow Holder to
5
Buyer, whereupon, except as expressly provided to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement, no party hereto shall have any further or other
rights or obligations under this Agreement. Seller acknowledges and agrees that the sum of Twenty Five and No/100 Dollars ($25.00) is good and adequate consideration for the termination rights granted to Buyer pursuant to this Paragraph 4(d).
5. Conditions to the Close of Escrow.
(a) Conditions Precedent to Buyer’s Obligations. The Close of Escrow and
Buyer’s obligations with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are subject to the satisfaction or waiver by Buyer, not later than the dates set forth herein below, of the following conditions, which conditions are for the
sole benefit of Buyer and may be waived by Buyer, in whole or in part, by written waiver delivered to Seller:
(i) Representations, Warranties and Covenants of Seller. Seller shall have duly performed in all material respects all covenants to be performed by Seller hereunder, and
Seller’s representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement shall be true and correct as of the Closing Date in all material respects; provided that solely for purposes of this Paragraph 5(a)(i) (i.e., as a condition to the Close
of Escrow allowing Buyer to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Paragraph 5(c)), such representations and warranties shall be deemed to be given without modification for a change of fact or circumstance as provided in Paragraph 12
hereof.
(ii) Delivery of Documents. Seller shall
have delivered all of the duly executed documents required to be delivered by Seller pursuant to Paragraph 6(a) below.
(iii) Title Insurance. Prior to execution of this Agreement, the Title Company has issued its written title commitment (the “Title Commitment”) to issue the
“Title Policy” (as hereinafter defined), which Title Commitment is in the form attached hereto as Exhibit “N”. The Title Policy shall include all endorsements that the Title Company has agreed to issue as part of the Title
Commitment. As of the Close of Escrow, the Title Company shall have issued or shall have irrevocably committed to issue an ALTA extended coverage form of owner’s policy of title insurance showing title to the Real Property vested in Buyer
subject to all matters shown in the Title Commitment (or with respect to matters that arise on or after the Effective Date, matters disapproved by Buyer prior to the Closing Date which Seller has elected to cure), with a liability amount equal to
the Purchase Price (the “Title Policy”). However, it shall not be a condition to the Close of Escrow if Buyer elects to obtain any endorsements which are not part of the Title Commitment, requests reinsurance or coinsurance, or otherwise
elects to obtain any different or additional coverage in excess of that provided by the Title Commitment, and in no event shall the Close of Escrow be conditioned upon or delayed by reason of having to obtain a survey or to fulfill any other
necessary requirement of ALTA extended coverage, which survey and other requirements have been fulfilled by Buyer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall be obligated at the Close of Escrow to cause the removal of any deeds of trust and/or
mortgages (other than the Existing Loan if the Close of Escrow occurs with the Assumption), delinquent taxes, mechanics’ liens or judgment liens created by Seller.
6
(iv) Nestlé Financial
Condition. There shall have been no material adverse change in the financial condition of Nestlé from that existing as of the Effective Date.
(b) Conditions Precedent to Seller’s Obligations. The Close of Escrow and Seller’s obligations with
respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are subject to the timely satisfaction or waiver by Seller of the following conditions, which conditions are for the sole benefit of Seller and may be waived by Seller, in whole or in part,
by written waiver delivered to Buyer:
(i) Representations, Warranties and Covenants
of Buyer. Buyer shall have duly performed in all material respects each and every covenant of Buyer hereunder, and Buyer’s representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement shall be true and correct as of
the Closing Date in all material respects.
(ii) Delivery of Documents and Purchase
Price. Buyer shall have timely delivered the Purchase Price pursuant to the provisions of Paragraph 2 above, and shall have delivered all of the duly executed documents required to be delivered by Buyer pursuant
to Paragraph 6(b) below.
(c) Effect of
Termination. In the event any condition set forth in this Paragraph 5 is not timely satisfied, unless waived by the party for whose benefit the condition exists, Buyer or Seller, as applicable, shall have the
right to terminate this Agreement and if this Agreement is so terminated or is terminated by either party pursuant to any other provision of this Agreement giving that party the right to do so, then:
(i) Termination of Agreement. This Agreement, the Escrow, and the rights and
obligations of Buyer and Seller shall terminate, except as otherwise provided herein;
(ii) Return of Deposit. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Deposit, and any interest accruing thereon, shall be promptly returned to Buyer, and any other documents and
monies deposited by the parties which are then held by Escrow Holder shall be returned to the party depositing same, provided however, if Buyer has not theretofore delivered to Seller the materials specified in Paragraph 4(a) above, then the
Deposit less Fifty Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($50,000) shall be returned to Buyer and the remaining Fifty Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($50,000) shall remain in Escrow until delivery to Seller of the materials specified in Paragraph 4(a)
above at which xxxx Xxxxxx shall instruct Escrow Holder to immediately return such amount to Buyer; and
(iii) Cancellation Fees and Expenses. Any cancellation charges required to be paid to Escrow Holder and the Title Company shall be borne one-half by Seller and one-half by
Buyer, and all other charges shall be borne by the party incurring same.
(d) New
York Style Closing. It is contemplated that the transaction shall be closed by means of a so called New York Style Closing, with the concurrent delivery of the documents of title, the irrevocable commitment to deliver
the Title Policy and the payment of the Purchase Price. Notwithstanding the foregoing, there shall be no requirement that Seller and Buyer physically meet for the Close of Escrow, and all documents to be delivered at the Close of
7
Escrow shall be delivered to the Escrow Holder unless the parties hereto mutually agree otherwise. Seller and Buyer agree to use reasonable
efforts to complete all requirements for the Close of Escrow prior to the Closing Date; provided, however, if the calendar day immediately preceding the Closing Date is not a business day, then Buyer at its option shall deposit the balance of the
Purchase Price in Escrow on or prior to 9:00 A.M. (California time) on the Closing Date, or if the foregoing amount is deposited in Escrow after 9:00 A.M. (California time) on the Closing Date, then by such time so that the funds due Seller pursuant
to this Agreement are received by Seller in sufficient time for reinvestment on the Closing Date and if the Closing occurs with the “Assumption” (as hereinafter defined), “Lender” (as hereinafter defined) receives the amount
required for payoff of the “Existing Loan” (as hereinafter defined) by the time provided by Lender for payoff of the Existing Loan, and provided further, if such amount is deposited in Escrow after 9:00 A.M. (California time) on the
Closing Date and the funds due Seller pursuant to this Agreement are not received by Seller in sufficient time for reinvestment on the Closing Date and/or if the Closing occurs without the Assumption, Lender does not receive the amount required for
payoff of the Existing Loan by the time provided by Lender for payoff of the Existing Loan, then Buyer shall reimburse Seller for loss of interest due to the failure to reinvest Seller’s funds on the Closing Date and/or any interest charged by
Lender for failure to receive the payoff amount by the time provided by Lender, as applicable. The provisions of the foregoing sentence shall survive the Close of Escrow. Seller and Buyer also agree that disbursement on the Closing Date of the
Purchase Price, as adjusted by the prorations, shall not be conditioned upon the recording of the Deed, but rather upon the satisfaction or waiver of all conditions precedent to the Close of Escrow and the irrevocable agreement by the Title Company
to issue the Title Policy with an effective date that is the time and day of recording the Deed. The date upon which such satisfaction or waiver and such irrevocable agreement occurs shall be the “Close of Escrow”. Seller and Buyer shall
each provide any undertaking to the Title Company reasonably necessary to accommodate the New York Style Closing. In connection with the Close of Escrow, Seller shall furnish to the Title Company a “gap” indemnity in form reasonably
acceptable to the Title Company and Seller, together with such assurances as Title Company may reasonably require in order to satisfy requirements 2 and 4 of the Title Commitment for Title Company’s issuance of the Title Commitment.

Delinquent Rents. Buyer shall, within ten (10) days after receipt, remit to Seller any sums received by Buyer to which Seller is entitled pursuant to this subparagraph.
(c) Reimbursable Tenant Expenses. Reimbursable Tenant Expenses for the calendar years 2001 and 2002 shall be
prorated at the Close of Escrow based on the parties’ reasonable estimate thereof. Seller shall complete a reconciliation of Reimbursable Tenant Expenses for the calendar year 2002 within one hundred twenty (120) days following the end of such
calendar year in a manner consistent with past practices for reconciliation of Reimbursable Tenant Expenses and Buyer shall have the right to reasonably review and approve such reconciliation. Based upon such reconciliation, Seller shall pay to
Buyer or at Buyer’s request, pay directly to the Tenant entitled thereto, any excess Reimbursable Tenant Expenses collected by Seller, or Buyer shall pay to Seller any additional Reimbursable Tenant Expenses owed Seller for Seller’s period
of ownership. As used herein, the term “Reimbursable Tenant Expenses” shall mean payments required to be paid by Tenants under Leases for such Tenant’s share of ad valorem taxes, insurance, common area maintenance and/or other
operating expenses of the Property and insurance premiums paid by Seller for insurance maintained by Nestlé on behalf of Seller. The provisions of this Paragraph 9(c) shall survive the Close of Escrow.
(d) Taxes and Assessments. All non-delinquent real estate taxes, personal
property taxes and current installments of assessments affecting the Property which are payable by Seller shall be prorated as of the Close of Escrow based on the actual current tax xxxx. All delinquent taxes and assessments, if any, affecting the
Property which are payable by Seller shall be paid at the Close of Escrow from funds accruing to Seller. Any refunds of real estate taxes and assessments attributable to the period prior to the Close of Escrow shall be paid to Seller upon receipt,
whether such receipt occurs before or after the Close of Escrow.
11
(e) Operating
Expenses. All utility service charges for electricity, heat and air conditioning service, other utilities, elevator maintenance, common area maintenance, taxes (other than real estate taxes and income taxes) such as
rental taxes, and other expenses affecting the Property which are payable by Seller and any other costs incurred in the ordinary course of business or the management and operation of the Property shall be prorated on an accrual basis. Seller shall
pay all such expenses that accrue prior to the Close of Escrow and Buyer shall pay all such expenses accruing on the Close of Escrow and thereafter. To the extent possible, Seller and Buyer shall obtain xxxxxxxx and meter readings as of the Close of
Escrow to aid in such prorations. If utility bills are not finalized as of the Close of Escrow, Seller and Buyer hereby agree to prorate as of midnight preceding the date of Closing and to pay their respective share of all utility bills received
subsequent to Closing (if such bills include a service period prior to the date of Closing), which agreement shall survive the Close of Escrow. Seller shall be entitled to all deposits currently in effect with utility providers to the Real Property.
(f) Leasing Expenses. Seller shall be responsible
for, and shall indemnify and hold Buyer harmless against, any brokerage commissions, tenant improvement expenses and other leasing costs (collectively, “Lease Inducement Costs”), if any, due and payable in connection with Leases or
amendments to Leases which are executed prior to the Effective Date. Buyer shall receive a credit toward the payment of the Purchase Price at the Close of Escrow in an amount equal to the Lease Inducement Costs payable by Seller pursuant to the
preceding sentence which have not been paid as of the Close of Escrow. Buyer shall be responsible for, and shall indemnify and hold Seller harmless against, any other Lease Inducement Costs. Seller shall receive a credit at the Closing for any Lease
Inducement Costs paid by Seller prior to the Close of Escrow which are the responsibility of Buyer to pay pursuant to the preceding sentence. The provisions of this Paragraph 9(f) shall survive the Close of Escrow.
(g) Security Deposits. At the Close of Escrow, Seller shall, at Seller’s
option, either deliver to Buyer any security deposits held by Seller pursuant to the Leases or credit to the account of Buyer the amount of such security deposits (to the extent such security deposits have not been applied against delinquent rentals
or otherwise as provided in the Leases).
(h) Method of
Proration. Buyer and Seller shall agree on a schedule of prorations (the “Settlement Statement”) prior to the Closing Date with respect to the Property, which prorations shall be final except as to
Reimbursable Tenant Expenses for the calendar year 2002 which shall be estimated at the Close of Escrow and subsequently adjusted as provided in Paragraph 9(c) above and except as to utilities if utility bills are not finalized as of the
Close of Escrow as provided in Paragraph 9(e) above. Such prorations shall be paid by Buyer to Seller (if the prorations result in a net credit to the Seller) or by Seller to Buyer (if the prorations result in a net credit to the Buyer) by
increasing or reducing the cash to be paid by Buyer at the Close of Escrow. The prorations as agreed upon by Buyer and Seller in the Settlement Statement shall be included in the closing statements prepared by Escrow Holder for Buyer and Seller.
10. Disbursements and Other Actions by Escrow
Holder. At the Closing Date, Escrow Holder shall promptly undertake all of the following in the manner hereinbelow indicated:

(iv) Information Supplied by Seller. Buyer specifically acknowledges and agrees that, except as expressly
provided to the contrary in this Agreement, Seller has made, is making, and shall make, no representation or warranty of any nature concerning the
14

18. Legal and Equitable Enforcement of this
Agreement.
(a) Default by Seller. IN THE
EVENT THE CLOSE OF ESCROW AND THE CONSUMMATION OF THE TRANSACTIONS HEREIN CONTEMPLATED DO NOT OCCUR BY REASON OF ANY DEFAULT BY SELLER, BUYER SHALL BE ENTITLED TO EITHER (1) TERMINATE THIS AGREEMENT AND RECEIVE A REFUND OF THE DEPOSIT, AND ANY
INTEREST ACCRUING THEREON, AND SELLER SHALL PAY TO BUYER AN AMOUNT EQUAL TO THE LESSER OF (A) BUYER’S ACTUAL OUT-OF-POCKET EXPENDITURES INCURRED DIRECTLY IN CONNECTION WITH NEGOTIATING THIS AGREEMENT AND/OR CONDUCTING DUE DILIGENCE ACTIVITIES

CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY CONTAINED IN THIS AGREEMENT OR IN ANY EXHIBITS ATTACHED HERETO OR IN ANY DOCUMENTS EXECUTED OR TO BE EXECUTED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH (COLLECTIVELY, INCLUDING THIS AGREEMENT, SAID
EXHIBITS AND ALL SUCH DOCUMENTS, THE “PURCHASE DOCUMENTS”), IT IS EXPRESSLY UNDERSTOOD AND AGREED BY AND BETWEEN THE PARTIES HERETO THAT: (I) THE RECOURSE OF BUYER OR ITS SUCCESSORS OR ASSIGNS AGAINST SELLER AND ITS PARTNERS WITH RESPECT
TO THE ALLEGED BREACH BY OR ON THE PART OF SELLER OF ANY REPRESENTATION, WARRANTY, COVENANT, UNDERTAKING, INDEMNITY OR AGREEMENT CONTAINED IN ANY OF THE PURCHASE DOCUMENTS (COLLECTIVELY, “SELLER’S UNDERTAKINGS”) SHALL (X) BE DEEMED
WAIVED UNLESS BUYER HAS DELIVERED TO SELLER WRITTEN NOTICE THAT BUYER IS SEEKING RECOURSE UNDER SELLER’S UNDERTAKINGS (THE “RECOURSE NOTICE”) AFTER THE CLOSING DATE BUT ON OR BEFORE THE DATE THAT IS TWELVE (12) MONTHS FOLLOWING THE
CLOSING DATE AND BUYER HAS FILED SUIT WITH RESPECT THERETO ON OR BEFORE SUCH DATE, AND (Y) BE LIMITED TO AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED THE AMOUNT OF ONE MILLION AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($1,000,000.00) IN THE AGGREGATE OF ALL RECOURSE OF BUYER UNDER THE
PURCHASE DOCUMENTS, PROVIDED HOWEVER, BUYER SHALL HAVE NO RIGHT TO FILE SUIT FOR RECOURSE UNDER SELLER’S UNDERTAKINGS UNLESS AND UNTIL THE AGGREGATE AMOUNT OF SUCH RECOURSE EXCEEDS, IN THE AGGREGATE, FIFTY THOUSAND AND NO/100 DOLLARS
($50,000.00); PROVIDED FURTHER, THAT IN THE EVENT ANY JUDGMENT AGAINST SELLER FOR RECOURSE UNDER SELLER’S UNDERTAKINGS (EXCLUSIVE OF ANY AWARD FOR PROFESSIONAL FEES AS DESCRIBED IN PARAGRAPH 21(E) BELOW) IS FOR AN
22
AMOUNT LESS THAN FIFTY THOUSAND AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($50,000.00), THEN SELLER SHALL BE DEEMED TO BE THE PREVAILING PARTY (INCLUDING WITHOUT
LIMITATION FOR THE PURPOSES OF PARAGRAPH 21(E) BELOW) AND SELLER SHALL HAVE NO LIABILITY THEREFOR; AND (II) NO PERSONAL LIABILITY OR PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY OF ANY SORT WITH RESPECT TO ANY OF SELLER’S UNDERTAKINGS OR ANY ALLEGED BREACH
THEREOF IS ASSUMED BY, OR SHALL AT ANY TIME BE ASSERTED OR ENFORCEABLE AGAINST, SELLER, SELLER’S PARTNERS, OR AGAINST ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE SHAREHOLDERS, DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, CONSTITUENT PARTNERS, MEMBERS, BENEFICIARIES,
TRUSTEES OR REPRESENTATIVES EXCEPT AS PROVIDED IN (I) ABOVE WITH RESPECT TO SELLER.
(b) Default by Buyer. IN THE EVENT THE CLOSE OF ESCROW DOES NOT OCCUR AS HEREIN PROVIDED BY REASON OF ANY DEFAULT OF BUYER, BUYER AND SELLER AGREE THAT IT WOULD BE
IMPRACTICAL AND EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO ESTIMATE THE DAMAGES WHICH SELLER MAY SUFFER. THEREFORE BUYER AND SELLER DO HEREBY AGREE THAT A REASONABLE ESTIMATE OF THE TOTAL NET DETRIMENT THAT SELLER WOULD SUFFER IN THE EVENT THAT BUYER DEFAULTS AND FAILS
TO COMPLETE THE PURCHASE OF THE PROPERTY IS AND SHALL BE, AS SELLER’S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY (WHETHER AT LAW OR IN EQUITY), AN AMOUNT EQUAL TO THE DEPOSIT, AND ANY INTEREST ACCRUING THEREON. SAID AMOUNT SHALL BE THE FULL, AGREED AND
LIQUIDATED DAMAGES FOR THE BREACH OF THIS AGREEMENT BY BUYER, ALL OTHER CLAIMS TO DAMAGES OR OTHER REMEDIES BEING HEREIN EXPRESSLY WAIVED BY SELLER. UPON DEFAULT BY BUYER, THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE TERMINATED AND NEITHER PARTY SHALL HAVE ANY FURTHER
RIGHTS OR OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER, EACH TO THE OTHER EXCEPT FOR THE RIGHT OF SELLER TO COLLECT SUCH LIQUIDATED DAMAGES FROM BUYER AND ESCROW HOLDER.

adverse effect on Seller, and that it shall not disclose such information to any third parties, except that Buyer shall have the right to provide such information (a) to its lenders, consultants, attorneys and prospective investors in connection
with Buyer’s acquisition of the Property (provided that Buyer shall instruct the aforesaid parties to maintain the confidentiality of such information), (b) as required by law or by public company disclosure rules and regulations, or (c) in any
legal proceeding between Buyer and Seller in connection with this Agreement. If the transaction contemplated by this Agreement is not consummated for any reason, Buyer promptly shall return to Seller, and instruct its representatives, consultants,
