(b) all of Seller's interest in and rights and obligations under
the Lease dated September 17, 2003, by and between Seller and
Eckerd Corporation (the "Tenant"), providing for the use and
occupancy of the improvements and Land (the "Lease"); and all

(c) to the extent assignable by Seller and not previously
assigned to Tenant as required under the Lease, all of the
following, if any, relating solely to the Land and the

Property), (2) plans, drawings, specifications, surveys,
engineering reports, and other technical information, and (3)
other property (real, personal, or any other) relating to the

Seller's reservation of its rights with respect to claims
thereunder which arise from facts or circumstances existing prior
to the Closing Date or during any period when Seller remains
liable to Tenant or Buyer with respect to the Property).
The above-listed items are herein collectively called the

Section 2. 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.

but reasonable discretion) the requirement of an entire 15 day
review period as to a de minimis number of the following items
that may not be available until several days prior to closing:
(l) A copy of any items to be specifically assigned to Buyer
under paragraph 1(c) and the proposed assignment thereof;

having jurisdiction over the Property and the objective standards
of the Americans with Disabilities Act;
(r) Certificate of Insurance evidencing Tenant's compliance with

(s) A project cost statement, signed by Seller, itemizing in

The documents described in this Section are herein collectively
called the "Documents," and the information contained in the
Documents is herein collectively called the "Information." Seller
further agrees to deliver to Buyer any information that shall
come to Seller's attention prior to the Closing that shall
materially, adversely impact the Documents, the Information, the
Property, or the Tenant. Buyer shall have a right to terminate
this Agreement based upon such materially adverse information and
shall receive the return of its Xxxxxxx Money together with any
interest thereon if this Agreement is so terminated on such
basis.
Section 6. Right of Inspection.
(a) Buyer may conduct a site inspection of the Property during
the Inspection Period (defined above) and Buyer may elect to not
purchase the Property and terminate this Agreement in accordance
with the terms of Paragraph (b) below if, in its sole discretion,
it is not satisfied with the results of such inspection. In
conducting its inspection Buyer shall not unreasonably interfere
with the business and operations of Tenant or construction
activities of Seller. Further, Buyer shall indemnify, defend and
hold Seller harmless from any and all costs, damages, and
liabilities whatsoever, including reasonable attorney's fees,
arising out of Buyer's inspection of the Property and the
Information, which obligation shall expressly survive any
termination of this Agreement. Except as may be required by law
or by legal proceedings, Buyer shall keep all Information
furnished to it by Seller or obtained by Buyer strictly
confidential; provided, however, that the same may be disclosed
to Buyer's lenders, accountants and attorneys to the extent
necessary to consummate this transaction and to the extent such
recipients agree to maintain such confidentiality. Buyer's
obligations under this Section shall survive the termination of
this Agreement for any reason.
(b) If for any reason Buyer determines that it shall not proceed
with this transaction, then Buyer may terminate this Agreement,
by delivering to Seller a written notice of termination at any
time during the period ending at 5:00 p.m., Minneapolis,
Minnesota time, on the last day of the Inspection Period. If
Buyer does not so terminate this Agreement, Buyer shall have
waived its right to terminate this Agreement, except as otherwise
expressly set forth herein.
Section 7. Title. Buyer may, at any time during the
Inspection Period, object in writing ("Buyer's Title Objection
Notice") and in good faith to any liens, encumbrances, and other
matters reflected by the Title Commitment. All such matters to
which Buyer so objects shall be "Non-Permitted Encumbrances"; if
no such objection notice is given during the Inspection Period,
all matters reflected by the Title Commitment shall be "Permitted
Encumbrances." Seller may, but shall not be obligated to, cure,
remove or insure around all Non-Permitted Encumbrances. In
addition, Seller shall be obligated to remove or insure around by
Closing all mortgages, deeds of trust, judgment liens, mechanic's
and materialmen's liens, and other monetary liens against the
Property (other than the liens for taxes and assessments which
are not delinquent), whether or not Buyer objects thereto during
the Inspection Period. Within five (5) days after receipt of
Buyer's Title Objection Notice, Seller shall provide an updated
title insurance commitment (the "Title Commitment Update"). If
the Title Commitment Update does not address all of Buyer's
objections set forth in Buyer's Title Objection Notice to the
reasonable satisfaction of Buyer, then Buyer may either
(a) terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 11(b) by
written notice to Seller within five (5) business days after
receipt of the Title Commitment Update or (b) purchase the
Property subject to the Non-Permitted Encumbrances (other than
monetary liens that Seller is obligated to remove or insure
around), and the Non-Permitted Encumbrances (other than liens
that Seller is obligated to remove or insure around) shall
thereafter be deemed Permitted Encumbrances. The Lease is hereby
designated as a Permitted Encumbrance.
In addition, Buyer may, within five (5) days after receipt
of the As-Built Survey to be delivered by Seller to Buyer
pursuant to Section 5(m) hereof, object in writing to matters
reflected on such As-Built Survey so long as (i) such objections
are to matters which render title to the Property unmarketable,
which constitute a material deviation from the Site Plan attached
to the Lease, or which otherwise constitute a violation of
applicable zoning ordinances and (ii) such objections, to the
extent not previously covered by Buyer's Title Objections, relate
to matters not reflected on the Existing Survey heretofore
delivered by Seller to Buyer. Seller may, but shall not be
obligated to, cure or remove any such survey objections made by
Buyer in accordance with this Section 7. If Seller does not
cause all such survey objections to be removed, cured or insured
around to Buyer's reasonable satisfaction within fifteen (15)
days after receipt by Seller of such survey objections, then
Buyer may either (a) terminate this Agreement in accordance with
Section 11(b) by delivering notice to Seller prior to the
expiration of such fifteen (15) day period or (b) purchase the
Property subject to such survey objections.
Section 8. Seller's Representations, Warranties, and
Covenants. Seller hereby represents and warrants to, and
covenants with, Buyer that:
(a) Except for this Agreement and the Lease and those matters
disclosed in the materials delivered to Buyer pursuant to Section

valid and binding agreement of Seller, enforceable against Seller
in accordance with its terms;
(g) To the best of Seller's knowledge, the Property is presently

written notice of such breach in reasonable detail not later than
a date that is one (1) year from the Closing Date. Seller shall
have thirty (30) days to commence to cure any such breach after
receipt of Buyer's timely written notice and so long thereafter
as is reasonably necessary to complete such cure.

the Property, which NFA Letter shall contain the following
language with respect to Seller's environmental remediation of
the Property: (i) that the DEC "is satisfied that all work has

engaged by Seller. Each party shall pay one-half of all other
closing costs, such as realty transfer tax (deed stamps), and

premiums; each party shall pay its own attorney's fees. Buyer
shall pay the mortgage tax due on any mortgage granted by Buyer
at closing, if any.
(d) Rent due under the Lease shall be prorated as of the Closing
Date, Seller being charged and credited for all of same up to the
Closing Date and Buyer being charged and credited for all of same
on and after the Closing Date; provided, however, that, if the
wire payoff to Seller's mortgagee is received later than l :00pm
EST on the day of Closing then the Seller, and not Buyer, shall
be credited for the Rent paid under the Lease that is
attributable to the day of closing. Utility charges and taxes
are paid by the Tenant and shall not be prorated at Closing. All
prorations made at Closing shall be considered a final settlement
between the parties.
(e) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary,
in the event that the amount of "Rent" (as defined in the Lease)
is adjusted after the Closing pursuant to Section 9.7.5 of the
Lease, the parties shall adjust the Purchase Price within ten

an amount based upon an 8.23% capitalization rate of the final
annual Rent payable by Tenant under the Lease. Upon
determination of the adjusted Purchase Price, the amounts due and
owing from either party hereunder shall be paid in full within
ten (10) days thereafter.
Section 10. Destruction, Damage, or Taking Before Closing.
If, before Closing, all or any material part of the Land or
Improvements are destroyed or damaged, or become subject to
condemnation or eminent domain proceedings, then Seller shall
promptly notify Buyer thereof. Buyer may elect to proceed with
the Closing (subject to the other provisions of this Agreement
and with no reduction in the Purchase Price) by delivering notice
thereof to Seller within five (5) business days of receipt of
Seller's notice respecting the damage, destruction, or taking,
but in such event Buyer shall be entitled to all insurance
proceeds or condemnation awards payable as a result of such
damage or taking and, to the extent the same may be necessary or
appropriate, Seller shall assign to Buyer at Closing Seller's
rights to such proceeds or awards. If, within five (5) business
days of receipt of Seller's notice respecting the damage,
destruction, or taking, Buyer notifies Seller of its intent to
terminate this Agreement, or if Buyer gives no notice within such
period, then Buyer shall be deemed to have terminated this
Agreement pursuant to Section 11(b). For the purposes of this
Section 10, damage or a taking shall be considered to be
"material" if the value of the portion of the Land or
Improvements damaged or taken exceeds an amount equal to twenty
five percent (25%) of the Purchase Price, or, in the case of a
taking, if the portion of the Land or Improvements taken are such
that Tenant has the right to terminate the Lease.
Section 11. Termination and Remedies.
(a) If Buyer fails to consummate the purchase of the Property
pursuant to this Agreement for any reason other than termination
hereof pursuant to a right granted to Buyer in herein, or if
Buyer breaches any covenant or provision of this Agreement, then
Seller, as its sole remedy, may terminate this Agreement by
notifying Buyer thereof, in which event Title Company shall
deliver the Xxxxxxx Money, together with all interest thereon, to
Seller as LIQUIDATED DAMAGES. In addition to the foregoing,
Seller shall also be entitled to recover all reasonable expenses,
including reasonable attorney's fees and litigation costs,
incurred in connection with obtaining the Xxxxxxx Money following
a breach hereof by Buyer.
(b) If Buyer terminates this Agreement pursuant to its rights to
do so hereunder and is not in default under this Agreement, then
the Xxxxxxx Money, together with all interest thereon, shall be
returned to Buyer, whereupon neither party hereto shall have any
further rights or obligations hereunder, except for those which
expressly survive the termination of this Agreement.
(c) If Seller fails to consummate the sale of the Property
pursuant to this Agreement for any reason other than Buyer's
failure to perform its obligations hereunder, or termination
hereof by Buyer in accordance with Section 11(b), then Buyer, as
its exclusive remedies therefore, may: (1) terminate this
Agreement by notifying Seller thereof, in which case the Xxxxxxx
Money, together with all interest thereon, shall be returned to
Buyer and neither party hereto shall have any further rights or
obligations hereunder, except for those which expressly survive
the termination of this Agreement; or (2) enforce specific
performance of the obligations of Seller hereunder.
(d) The provision for payment of liquidated damages in Section
11 (a) has been included because, in the event of a breach by
Buyer, the actual damages to be incurred by Seller can reasonably
be expected to approximate the amount of liquidated damages
called for herein and because the actual amount of such damages
would be difficult if not impossible to measure accurately.
(e) This Agreement shall not be recorded in any public records
in the State of New York or the county where the Property is
located, and any such recording by or for Buyer shall be a
default hereunder.
Section 12. Seller's Continuing Obligations. Notwithstanding
assignment of the Lease to Buyer as contemplated by Section 9
hereof, Seller shall remain liable for the performance of the
obligations of Landlord under the Lease with respect to: (i)
Landlord's obligations under Sections 9.7.5 and 9.7.11 of the
Lease to deliver plans or other documents relating to design of
the Improvements or the construction thereof; and (ii)
performance under any warranty claims received from Tenant with
respect to the Premises pursuant to the "One-Year Warranty" set
forth in Section 9.4 of the Lease. The provisions of this
paragraph shall survive Closing of the sale of the Property to
Buyer, and the parties agree to confirm such survival in writing
at Closing.
Section 13. Notices. All notices provided or permitted to be
given under this Agreement must be in writing and may be served
by depositing same in the United States mail, addressed to the
party to be notified, postage prepaid and registered or certified
with return receipt requested; by delivering the same in person
to such party; by reputable overnight courier delivery; or by

Section 14. Assigns/Beneficiaries. Buyer may assign its
rights and obligations under this Agreement to a wholly owned or
controlled affiliate or subsidiary of Buyer and at Closing
designate such entity to take title to the Property and to all
rights conveyed by Seller to Buyer under this Agreement without
the written consent of Seller. Except for the assignments
provided for in the preceding sentence, Buyer may neither assign
its rights under this Agreement nor delegate its duties hereunder
without prior written consent of Seller, which Seller may grant
or withhold in its sole and absolute discretion. Should Buyer
assign this Agreement or delegate its duties without the prior
written consent of Seller, then in addition to all the rights,
remedies, and recourses available at law or in equity, Seller may
terminate this Agreement and the Title Company shall forthwith
deliver the Xxxxxxx Money to Seller. Seller may assign all of
its right, title and interest in and to this Agreement to any
other entity that is directly or indirectly wholly owned by
Seller. Such permitted assignment shall include any assignment
that may be deemed to occur by operation of law in connection
with any merger or consolidation of Seller entity with and/or
