1.1.1 Fee simple title to all of the land described and/or shown on Exhibit “A” attached hereto, together with all privileges, rights, easements and appurtenances belonging to such land, including without limitation, all right, title and interest (if any) of Seller in and to any streets, alleys, passages, and other rights-of-way or appurtenances included in, adjacent to or used in connection with such land and all right, title and interest (if any) of Seller in all mineral and development rights appurtenant to such land (collectively, the “Land”);
1.1.2 Fee simple title to all buildings, structures and other improvements and all fixtures, systems and facilities located on the Land (collectively, the “Improvements” and together with the Land, the “Real Property”);
1.1.3 All leases, including any and all modifications of and amendments thereto, as reflected on Exhibit “B” attached hereto, with all persons leasing the Real Property or any part thereof (each, a “Tenant”) or hereafter entered into in accordance with the terms hereof prior to Closing (collectively, the “Tenant Leases”), together with all security deposits, other deposits held in connection with the Tenant Leases, and all of Seller’s right title and interest in
and to all guarantees, letters of credit and other similar credit enhancements providing additional security for such Tenant Leases;
1.1.4 Seller’s right, title and interest in and to: (i) any and all tangible personal property owned by Seller located on and/or used exclusively in connection with the Real Property, including, without limitation, sculptures, paintings and other artwork, equipment, furniture, tools and supplies (collectively, the “Tangible Personal Property”); (ii) any and all plans and specifications, architectural and/or engineering drawings; and (iii) any and all trade names used or utilized in connection with the Property, including, without limitation, the trade name “Primary Care Associates Medical Office Building” (collectively, the “Intangible Personal Property” and collectively with the Tangible Personal Property, the “Personal Property”);
1.1.5 Any and all warranties and guaranties relating to the Improvements (collectively, the “Warranties”);
1.1.6 All use, occupancy, building and operating licenses, permits, approvals, and development rights relating to the Property (collectively, the “Permits”);
1.1.7 All service contracts relating to the operation of the Property as of the Effective Date or entered into in accordance with this Agreement prior to Closing (collectively, the “Contracts”); provided, however, and notwithstanding the foregoing, that Seller shall terminate effective at Closing, at Seller’s sole cost and expense, any Contracts that Buyer does not elect to assume pursuant to Section 3.4.
1.2 Purchase Price. The purchase price for the Property (the “Purchase Price”) shall be Eight Million Eight Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($8,800,000.00). The Purchase Price shall be paid to Seller by Buyer on the Closing Date (as defined in Section 1.4), plus or minus all adjustments or credits as set forth herein, by wire transfer of immediately available federal funds.
1.3 Deposit and Escrow.
1.3.1 Within three (3) Business Days of the Effective Date, Buyer shall deliver to Escrow Agent at the following address: 000 Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxx 000, Xxx Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx 00000, attention: Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx, telephone: (000) 000-0000, facsimile: (000) 000-0000, e-mail: xxxxxxxxxx@xxxxxxx.xxx, a deposit in the amount of Two Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($200,000.00) (together with any interest thereon, the “Deposit”). The Deposit shall be held in an insured, interest-bearing account with interest accruing for the benefit of Buyer. The Escrow Agent may conclusively rely upon and act in accordance with any certificate, instructions, notice, letter, e-mail, facsimile, or other written instrument believed to be genuine and signed or communicated by the proper party or parties.
1.3.2 The Deposit shall be applied to the Purchase Price if the Closing (as defined below) occurs. Upon delivery of Buyer’s Approval Notice (as defined in Section 3.5), the Deposit shall not be returned to Buyer unless escrow fails to close due to (i) Seller’s breach or default under this Agreement, (ii) a failure of a representation or warranty by Seller to be materially true and correct as of the Closing, (iii) a failure of a condition precedent set forth in
2 | ||
Section 5.4, or (iv) any other reason that entitles Buyer to have the Deposit (less the Independent Contract Consideration, as defined in Section 1.3.3) returned as provided for herein. In the event Buyer shall elect to terminate or shall be deemed to have terminated this Agreement during the Due Diligence Period (as defined below), or as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Deposit (and any interest accrued thereon) (less the Independent Contract Consideration) shall be returned to Buyer as provided in Section 3.6.
1.3.3 Independent Contract Consideration. One Hundred Dollars ($100.00) of the Deposit will be non-refundable to Buyer and shall be immediately distributed to Seller as independent consideration for Seller entering into this Agreement. Such independent consideration is fully earned by Seller, is non-refundable under any circumstances, but will be applied to the Purchase Price at Closing.
1.4 Closing Date. The consummation of the purchase and sale of the Property (the “Closing”) shall take place through an escrow with Escrow Agent on the day which is fifteen (15) days after the expiration of the Due Diligence Period (as defined in Section 3.2) (as the same may be held earlier or extended in accordance herewith, the “Closing Date”).
ARTICLE II.
TITLE AND SURVEY
2.1 Title and Survey. Within three (3) Business Days after the Effective Date, Seller shall, at its sole cost and expense, provide to Buyer a preliminary title report or commitment (the “Preliminary Report”) from Escrow Agent (referred to herein in such capacity as the “Title Company”), together with legible copies of all recorded encumbrances and exceptions to title. Buyer may, in its sole and absolute discretion and at its sole cost and expense, (i) conduct UCC searches covering Seller and the Property (the “UCC Searches”), and (ii) order a survey of the Real Property by a licensed surveyor or registered professional engineer (the “Survey”).
2.2 Required Title Condition. Title to the Property shall be conveyed to Buyer subject only to the following matters: (i) current, non-delinquent real estate taxes and assessments; (ii) the matters set forth in the Preliminary Report and permitted by Buyer, in Buyer’s sole and absolute discretion, as part of the Title Policy (as defined below); and (iii) any other matters approved in writing by Buyer, in Buyer’s sole and absolute discretion (collectively, the “Required Title Condition”); provided however, that if Buyer fails to object, in writing, to any matters set forth in the Preliminary Report and/or reflected on or missing from the Survey prior to the fifth (5th) Business Day prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period (as defined in Section 3.2 below), such matters shall be deemed approved by Buyer, and the Property may be conveyed to Buyer subject to such matters, except as otherwise provided herein (the “Permitted Defects”). Within four (4) Business Days after the date on which Seller receives notification from Buyer of any objections to matters set forth on the Preliminary Report and/or reflected on or missing from the Survey (each, an “Unpermitted Defect”), Seller shall advise Buyer in writing whether Seller intends to cure any such Unpermitted Defect in the manner specified below and, if so, Seller shall thereupon promptly proceed to cure such Unpermitted Defect. If Seller declines to cure any such Unpermitted Defect, or if Seller is unable on or prior to the Closing Date to cure such Unpermitted Defect to Buyer’s reasonable
3 | ||
satisfaction, then Buyer shall, within three (3) business days of receipt of notice of Seller’s election not to cure, or notice of Seller’s failure to cure (as applicable), at its option, (a) waive such Unpermitted Defect by proceeding to Closing as provided in this Agreement and such defects shall become Permitted Defects, or (b) terminate this Agreement in writing, in which event the Deposit (less the Independent Contract Consideration) shall be returned to Buyer within one (1) Business Day after such termination and each party shall thereupon be released from all further obligations hereunder (except as otherwise provided herein). Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 2.2 to the contrary, Seller shall be obligated, at its sole cost and expense, to satisfy, at or prior to Closing, (i) all deeds of trust or mortgages affecting title to the Property, and ancillary documents related to such deeds of trust or mortgages (such as financing statements and assignments of leases and rents); and (ii) all other monetary encumbrances affecting the Property evidenced by deeds of trust or mortgages, tax liens, judgments, mechanics’ liens and/or other liens or charges arising out of the acts of Seller [(i) and (ii) are hereinafter collectively referred to as “Monetary Liens”]. Seller authorizes the use of the Purchase Price or a portion thereof to pay and discharge any Monetary Liens at Closing.
ARTICLE III.

In connection with Buyer’s the foregoing, Buyer may access the Property upon reasonable notice to Seller and subject to Seller’s right to have a representative present at all such inspections; provided that, Buyer acknowledges and agrees that (i) any on-site inspections and examinations of the Property shall be subject to the rights of the tenants and shall be performed during normal business hours in a manner to minimize interference with the operation of Tenant’s business at the Property; (ii) Buyer shall promptly repair any damage to the Property or any adjacent property(ies) caused by any actions of Buyer or Buyer’s representatives and shall restore the Property to substantially the same condition which existed immediately prior to such damages; (iii) Buyer must obtain Seller’s prior written consent, which consent may be withheld in Seller’s sole discretion (and which consent, if granted, may be subject to such conditions as Seller may require in its sole discretion), for the performance by Buyer or its authorized agents of any invasive or intrusive environmental testing beyond what is industry standard for a Phase I environmental site assessment, including but not limited to any drilling or soil borings of the surface of the Real Property or the installation of any monitoring xxxxx thereon; and (iv) Buyer indemnifies and holds Seller harmless from and against any damage, injury, claim or lien caused by the activities of Buyer or its agents or representatives on the Property, except that Buyer will have no obligation to indemnify Seller as a result of the discovery or presence of any pre-existing conditions, including any hazardous materials, unless such condition was materially exacerbated solely as a result of the gross negligence or intentional act of Buyer or Buyer’s agents or representatives. Buyer shall furnish Seller on or prior to any entry onto the Property by Buyer or or its agents a certificate of general liability and property
4 | ||
damage insurance with limits maintained by Buyer, evidencing single occurrence coverage of at least $1,000,000 per occurrence (and aggregate coverage of at least $2,000,000) and naming Seller as an additional insured. The foregoing indemnity and insurance obligations of Buyer shall survive Closing or any earlier termination of this Agreement.
3.1.2 Seller shall, at Seller’s expense, turn on, run, and maintain, without any interruption in service, electrical power and all utilities to the Property (including, without limitation, plumbing, heating and air conditioning systems) to facilitate Buyer’s testing and investigations thereof.
3.2 Due Diligence Period. Buyer shall have from the Effective Date until the date that is thirty (30) days from the Effective Date (the “Due Diligence Period”) to physically inspect the Property, review the economic data, conduct appraisals, perform examinations of the physical condition of the Improvements, examine the Property for the presence of Hazardous Materials (as defined below), and to otherwise conduct such due diligence review of the Property and all of the items to be furnished by Seller to Buyer pursuant to Section 3.3.
3.3 Items to Be Provided by Seller. No later than three (3) Business Days after the Effective Date, Seller shall deliver to Buyer copies of all of the information set forth on Exhibit “C” that is in Seller’s possession (collectively, the “Property Information”). With regard to Property Information prepared by Seller, Seller agrees that such Property Information shall be accurate and complete. With regard to Property Information prepared by third parties, Seller agrees to provide complete copies of the Property Information and that Seller has not received any written notice of its inaccuracy.

3.4 Service Contracts. Buyer shall not be required to assume any Contract of Seller at Closing. Effective as of the Closing Date, Seller, at Seller’s sole cost and expense, shall terminate any Contracts that Buyer does not elect to assume, in Buyer’s sole and absolute discretion, by written notification to Seller prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Seller shall terminate, at Seller’s sole cost and expense, any and all leasing commission agreements and management agreements affecting the Property effective on or before the Closing Date.
3.5 Buyer’s Possible Early Termination. Buyer shall have the right to approve or disapprove, in Buyer’s sole and absolute discretion, the Property, the Property Information, or any other matter whatsoever regarding the Property. At any time prior to or on the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, Buyer may provide written notice to Seller disapproving the Property for purposes of this Article III (a “Disapproval Notice”). Unless Buyer provides Seller with a written notice of its approval of the Property (an “Approval Notice”) prior to or on the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, this Agreement shall automatically terminate and the provisions of Section 3.6 shall apply. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, an Approval Notice shall not be deemed to be a waiver by Buyer of any other rights of termination it may have as set forth herein.
5 | ||
3.6 Consequences of Buyer’s Early Termination. Unless Buyer provides an Approval Notice to Seller pursuant to Section 3.5, this Agreement shall immediately terminate upon the expiration of the Due Diligence Period. If Buyer provides a Disapproval Notice to Seller pursuant to Section 3.5, this Agreement shall immediately terminate upon the giving of such notice. In the event of either of the foregoing, the parties shall be released from all further obligations under this Agreement (except with respect to any provisions that by their terms survive a termination of this Agreement). Escrow Agent shall pay the entire Deposit (less the Independent Contract Consideration) to Buyer not later than one (1) Business Day following termination of this Agreement. No notice to Escrow Agent from Seller shall be required for the release of the Deposit to Buyer by Escrow Agent under this Section, and the Deposit (less the Independent Contract Consideration) shall be released and delivered to Buyer upon Escrow Agent’s receipt of Buyer’s confirmation of termination of the Agreement pursuant to this Article III, despite any objection or potential objection by Seller.

Seller is not in default under any such document, nor, to Seller’s knowledge, is any other party subject to any such document.
4.1.15 Seller has not received any written notice from, and, to Seller’s knowledge there no grounds for, any governmental agency requiring the correction of any condition with respect to the Property, or any part thereof, by reason of a violation of any applicable federal, state, county or municipal law, code, rule or regulation (including those respecting the Americans With Disabilities Act), which has not been cured or waived.

(b) CAM Expenses. To the extent that tenants are reimbursing the landlord for common area maintenance and other operating expenses (collectively, “CAM Charge(s)”), CAM Charges shall be prorated at Closing as of the Closing Date on a lease-by-lease basis with each party being entitled to receive a portion of the CAM Charges payable under each Tenant Lease for the CAM Lease Year (as defined below) in which Closing occurs, which portion shall be equal to the actual CAM Charges incurred during the party’s respective periods of ownership of the Property during the CAM Lease Year. As used herein, the term “CAM Lease Year” means the twelve (12) month period as to which annual CAM Charges are owed under each Tenant Lease. Seller shall be responsible for the CAM Charges reconciliation on a lease-by-lease basis for their ownership period within the CAM Lease Year up to, but not including, the Closing Date. Buyer shall be responsible for the CAM Charges reconciliation on a lease-by-lease basis for their ownership period within the CAM Lease Year including the Closing Date. In the event of any expenses, i.e., property taxes, where a proration was based upon an estimate for the year of Closing, a post closing “true up” will be performed for the actual expense to determine Seller and Buyer obligation for their ownership period for the year of Closing. Each party will be responsible for any CAM Charges “true up” necessary to the extent that any Tenant Lease provides for a “true up”.
(c) Property Taxes. All real property taxes for the year immediately preceding the year of Closing that are payable in the year of Closing, and for years prior thereto, shall be paid by Seller on or before the Closing. Real property taxes for the year of Closing shall be prorated on the basis of the most recent assessment and levy. If the most recent tax assessment and levy is not for the current tax year, then the parties shall reprorate within sixty (60) days of the receipt of the tax assessment and levy for the current tax year. If after the Closing there is any retroactive increase in the real or personal property taxes or assessments imposed of the Property: (1) if such increase relates to the tax year in which the Closing occurred, then such increase shall be prorated by Seller and Buyer on a per diem basis based on their respective periods of ownership during their period to which such increase applies, (2) if such increase relates to any tax year subsequent to the tax year which the Closing occurred, then such increase shall be the obligation of Buyer, and (3) if such increase relates to any tax year prior to the tax year in which the Closing occurred, then such increase shall be the obligation of Seller. Any and all refunds, credits, claims or rights to appeal respecting the amount of any real property taxes or other taxes or assessments charged in connection with the Property for any period shall belong to Buyer following the Closing, except that if prior to the end of the Due Diligence Period Seller has applied for a property tax refund or has appealed the county assessor’s valuation of the Property for any period of time prior to the Closing Date, then Seller shall be entitled to any refund applicable to such period.
(d) Private Assessments. Payments due under any assessments imposed by private covenant shall be prorated as of the Closing.
(e) Operating Expenses. All operating expenses (including all charges under the Contracts and agreements assumed by Buyer) shall be prorated, and as to each
21 | ||
service provider, operating expenses payable or paid to such service provider in respect to the billing period of such service provider in which the Closing occurs (the “Current Billing Period”), shall be prorated on a per diem basis based upon the number of days in the Current Billing Period prior to the Closing Date and the number of days in the Current Billing Period from and after the Closing Date, and assuming that all charges are incurred uniformly during the Current Billing Period. If actual bills for the Current Billing Period are unavailable as of the Closing Date, then such proration shall be made on an estimated basis based upon the most recently issued bills, subject to readjustment upon receipt of actual bills.
(f) Items Not Prorated. Seller and Buyer agree that (i) on the Closing Date, the Property will not be subject to any financing arranged by Seller; (ii) none of the insurance policies relating to the Property will be assigned to Buyer and Buyer shall be responsible for arranging for its own insurance as of the Closing Date; and (iii) utilities, including telephone, electricity, water, and gas, shall be read on the Closing Date and Buyer shall be responsible for all the necessary actions needed to arrange for utilities to be transferred to the name of Buyer on the Closing Date, including the posting of any required deposits and Seller shall be entitled to recover and retain from the providers of such utilities any refunds or overpayments to the extent applicable to the period prior to the Closing Date, and any utility deposits which it or its predecessors may have posted. Accordingly, there will be no prorations for debt service, insurance or utilities. In the event a meter reading is unavailable for any particular utility, such utility shall be prorated in the manner provided in Section 5.8.2(e).
(g) Other Items. All other items customarily prorated or required by any other provision of this Agreement to be prorated or adjusted.
5.8.3 Credits.
(a) Security Deposits, Rent Concessions, Tenant Improvement Allowances and Other Tenant Credits. Buyer shall receive a credit at Closing from Seller in the amount of the sum of: (i) the tenant deposits under the Tenant Leases; (ii) any and all rent concessions which related to the current terms of the Tenant Leases and are unpaid, unapplied and/or unutilized; and (iii) any and all tenant improvement allowances which relate to the current terms of the Tenant Leases and are unpaid, unapplied and/or unutilized. As used in the foregoing, “current terms” shall not be construed to include any renewal periods unless a tenant is in a renewal period as of Closing.
(b) Leasing Commissions. Buyer shall receive a credit at Closing from Seller in the amount of any and all leasing commissions which relate to the current term of the Tenant Leases and are unpaid.
5.8.4 Calculation / Re-prorations. Seller shall prepare and deliver to Buyer no later than three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date an estimated closing statement which shall set forth all costs payable, and the prorations and credits provided for in this Agreement and to the extent Seller does not timely deliver the estimated closing statement to Buyer, Buyer shall have the right, but not the obligation, to extend the Closing Date by the number of days Seller is delinquent in delivering such estimated closing statement to Buyer. Any item which cannot be finally prorated because of the unavailability of information shall be tentatively prorated on the
22 | ||
basis of the best data then available and adjusted when the information is available in accordance with this subsection. Buyer shall notify Seller within two (2) days after its receipt of such estimated closing statement of any items which Buyer disputes and the parties shall attempt in good faith to reconcile any differences not later than one (1) day before the Closing Date. The estimated closing statement as adjusted as aforesaid and approved in writing by the parties shall be referred to therein as the “Closing Statement.” If the prorations and credits made under the Closing Statement shall prove to be incorrect or incomplete for any reason, then either party shall be entitled to an adjustment to correct the same; provided, however, that any adjustment shall be made, if at all, within sixty five (60) days after the Closing Date (except with respect to CAM Charges, taxes and assessments, in which case such adjustment shall be made within sixty five (60) days after the information necessary to perform such adjustment is available), and if a party fails to request an adjustment to the Closing Statement by a written notice delivered to the other party within the applicable period set forth above (such notice to specify in reasonable detail the items within the Closing Statement that such party desires to adjust and the reasons for such adjustment), then the prorations and credits set forth in the Closing Statement shall be binding and conclusive against such party.
5.8.5 Indemnification. Buyer and Seller shall each indemnify, protect, defend and hold the other harmless from and against any claim in any way arising from the matters for which the other receives a credit or otherwise assumes responsibility pursuant to this Section 5.8.5.
5.8.6 Survival. The provisions of this Section 5.8 shall survive the Closing.
5.9 Distribution of Funds and Documents. At the Closing, Escrow Agent shall do each of the following:
5.9.1 Payment of Encumbrances. Pay the amount of those Monetary Liens that are not permitted as part of the Required Title Condition or Permitted Defects, utilizing proceeds of the Purchase Price to which Seller shall be entitled upon Closing and funds (if any) deposited in Escrow by Seller.
5.9.2 Distribution of Funds. Deliver (i) to Seller, or order, the Purchase Price, adjusted for prorations, charges and other credits and debits provided for herein; and (ii) to Buyer, or order, any excess funds delivered to Escrow Agent by Buyer. Such funds shall be delivered by wire transfer or cashier’s check in accordance with instructions for Seller and Buyer; if no instructions are given, Escrow Agent shall deliver such funds by Escrow Agent’s check via overnight courier (or as otherwise requested by the intended recipient) to the appropriate party at the address set forth for notice in this Agreement.
5.9.3 Delivery of Documents. Deliver by overnight courier (or as otherwise requested by the intended recipient) as soon as such documents are available: (i) the Title Policy to Buyer; (ii) each other non-recorded document received hereunder to the payee or person acquiring rights thereunder or for whose benefit said document was acquired; (iii) a copy of each recorded document, conformed to show the recording data thereon, to each party; and (iv) a fully executed original of each other closing document. Escrow Agent’s consent to this Agreement is Escrow Agent’s acknowledgment that Escrow Agent is irrevocably committed to insure the GAP
23 | ||
with regard to the Title Policy, in which case Escrow Agent may disburse closing funds prior to recording.
5.10 Completion of Documents. Escrow Agent is authorized to insert the date of Closing and otherwise to complete the documents deposited in Escrow, where appropriate and consistent with this Agreement.
5.11 Possession and Tenant Notices. Possession of the Property shall be delivered to Buyer by Seller at the Closing, subject only to the Tenant Leases and rights arising under the matters set forth in the Preliminary Report and permitted as part of the Required Title Condition. Seller and Buyer covenant and agree to execute at Closing a written notice of the acquisition of the Property by Buyer, in sufficient copies for transmittal to each tenant affected by the sale and purchase of the Property and properly addressed to each tenant. Such notice shall be prepared by Seller, at Seller’s sole cost and expense, and approved by Buyer, in its reasonable discretion, and shall notify the tenant of the sale and transfer and shall contain appropriate instructions relating to the payment of future rentals, the giving of future notices and other matters reasonably required by Buyer or required by law (each, a “Tenant Notice”). Unless a different procedure is required by applicable law, in which event such law shall be controlling, Seller agrees to transmit or otherwise deliver such letters to the tenants under the Tenant Leases promptly after the Closing.
5.12 Holdback. At Closing, Escrow Agent shall withhold, for a period of six (6) months following the Closing Date, from proceeds which would otherwise be distributed to Seller, the sum of Two Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($200,000.00) (the “Holdback”). The Holdback shall be held and disbursed by Escrow Agent in compliance with a post-closing escrow agreement to be executed and delivered at Closing by Buyer, Seller and Escrow Agent in the form attached hereto as Exhibit “J” (the “Post-Closing Escrow Agreement”).
5.13 Master Lease. At Closing, the parties shall enter into a master lease under which Buyer shall master lease the approximately 3,037 square feet of space previously occupied by Physical Therapy Services at the Waterfront, L.L.C., for a period of sixty (60) months at the rent set forth below, in a form to be agreed to by the parties within thirty (30) calendar days after the Effective Date and to be executed and delivered at Closing by Buyer and Seller (the “Master Lease”):
Date | Monthly Rent | Annual Rent | Rent per Square Foot |
5/1/2014 – 4/30/2015 | $3,543.16 | $42,517.92 | $14.00 |
5/1/2015 – 4/30/2016 | $3,596.31 | $43,155.72 | $14.21 |
5/1/2016 – 4/30/2017 | $3,650.25 | $43,803.00 | $14.42 |
5/1/2017 – 4/30/2018 | $3,705.00 | $44,460.00 | $14.64 |
5/1/2018 – 4/30/2019 | $3,760.58 | $45,126.96 | $14.86 |
5/1/2019 – 6/30/2019 | $3,816.99 | $45,803.88 | $15.08 |
In the event the parties have been unable to agree on the form of Master Lease within thirty (30) calendar days after the Effective Date despite their good faith efforts, and one or both parties desire to terminate this Agreement rather than waiving the condition of the Master Lease or continuing negotiations relating to the Master Lease, then either party may terminate this
24 | ||
Agreement upon written notice to the other party. In such event, this Agreement shall terminate, the Deposit (less the Independent Contract Consideration) shall be returned to Buyer, and Seller and Buyer shall thereupon be discharged from any further liability to the other arising from this Agreement (except with respect to provisions of this Agreement which recite that they survive termination). Buyer shall not be entitled to reimbursement of out-of-pocket costs as described in Section 6.2(c)(2) in the event of termination under this section by either party.
ARTICLE VI.
TERMINATION AND DEFAULT
6.1 Buyer’s Default. If the sale contemplated hereby is not consummated because of a default by Buyer in its obligation to purchase the Property in accordance with the terms of this Agreement after Seller has performed or tendered performance of all of its material obligations in accordance with this Agreement, then, upon written notice from Seller to Buyer: (i) this Agreement shall terminate; (ii) the Deposit shall be paid to and retained by Seller as liquidated damages; and (iii) Seller and Buyer shall have no further obligations to each other, except those which survive the termination of this Agreement. Buyer and Seller acknowledge that the damages to Seller in the event of such a breach of this Agreement by Buyer would be difficult or impossible to determine, that the amount of the Deposit represents the parties’ best and most accurate estimate of the damages that would be suffered by Seller if the transaction should fail to close and that such estimate is reasonable under the circumstances existing as of the date of this Agreement and under the circumstances that Seller and Buyer reasonably anticipate would exist at the time of such breach. Buyer and Seller agree that Seller’s right to retain the Deposit shall be Seller’s sole remedy, at law and in equity, for Buyer’s failure to purchase the Property in accordance with the terms of this Agreement after Seller has performed. Seller hereby waives any right to an action for specific performance of any provisions of this Agreement.
6.2 Seller’s Default.
6.2.1 If, prior to Closing, Seller is in default under this Agreement or causes the failure of a condition precedent set forth in Section 5.4 hereof that is (i) within Seller’s control and (ii) such failure is not cured within five (5) days of receiving written notice from Buyer, Buyer shall have the right to elect, in its sole and absolute discretion to:
(a) Waive such failure and proceed to the Closing with no reduction in the Purchase Price.
(b) Seek specific performance against Seller, so long as such action for specific performance is filed within ninety (90) days of Seller’s breach or default under this Agreement, in which event the Closing Date will be automatically extended as necessary for Buyer to prosecute such action. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if specific performance is made unavailable as a remedy to Buyer by Seller’s affirmative acts or intentional omissions, Buyer will be entitled to pursue all rights and remedies available at law or in equity.
(c) Terminate this Agreement by notice to Seller to that effect, in which event the parties hereto shall have no further obligations hereunder, except those which survive termination hereof, and to (1) recover the full amount of the Deposit (less the
25 | ||
Independent Contract Consideration), and (2) receive reimbursement from Seller of Buyer’s actually incurred out-of-pocket costs paid to third parties, for which invoices shall be provided by Buyer prior to payment being required from Seller, in conjunction with this Agreement in an amount not to exceed One Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($100,000.00).
6.2.2 If Seller is in default under this Agreement following the Closing Date, including a breach of any representations and warranties set forth in Section 4.1 hereof, then Buyer’s sole and exclusive remedies shall be to obtain the Escrow Funds (as defined in the Post-Closing Escrow Agreement) and pursue Seller for an additional amount up to One Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($100,000.00), with such additional amount being in addition to the amount of the Escrow Funds..
6.2.3 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Buyer shall not be required to fund the balance of the Purchase Price in order to enforce any of its remedies under this Agreement.
ARTICLE VII.
CASUALTY DAMAGE OR CONDEMNATION
7.1 Casualty. If the Property is damaged by casualty prior to the Closing and either (i) the casualty is insured (subject to the applicable deductible) and results in loss or damage in an amount valued greater than One Hundred Fifty Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($150,000.00); (ii) the casualty is uninsured and results in loss or damage in an amount valued greater than Twenty Five Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($25,000.00); or (iii) the nature of such casualty results in a circumstance whereby a Major Tenant under the Tenant Leases gives notice of termination under its Tenant Lease, then Buyer, in its sole and absolute discretion, may elect either to:
(a) acquire the Property as is (without reduction in the Purchase Price), plus an assignment from Seller without recourse or credit of any insurance proceeds payable by virtue of such loss or damage (including, without limitation, any business or rental interruption proceeds) plus a credit for any deductible under said policy if the casualty is insured. If the casualty is uninsured, Buyer shall receive a credit for the uninsured loss in an amount up to Twenty Five Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($25,000.00); or
(b) terminate the entirety of this Agreement upon written notice to Seller, in which event the entire Deposit (less the Independent Contract Consideration) shall be promptly returned to Buyer.
Such right must be exercised within ninety (90) days from earlier of the date Seller provides Buyer with notice of the loss of the event giving rise to such right or the date of Buyer’s knowledge of the casualty. If Buyer fails to provide notice of an election, then Buyer shall have been deemed to elect (b) above.
7.2 Condemnation. In the event that a condemnation proceeding shall be initiated against any portion of the Real Property prior to the Closing, then Buyer, in Buyer’s sole and absolute discretion, may elect either to:
26 | ||
(a) terminate the entirety of this Agreement upon written notice to Seller, in which event the entire Deposit (less the Independent Contract Consideration) shall be promptly returned to Buyer; or
(b) acquire the Property as is (without reduction in the Purchase Price).
In all other cases, or if Buyer elects to proceed under Section 7.2(b), Buyer shall purchase the Property in accordance with the terms hereof (without reduction in the Purchase Price) and Seller shall assign to Buyer at Closing all condemnation proceeds payable as a result of such condemnation. Buyer shall be deemed to have elected to proceed under Section 7.2(b) unless, within ninety (90) days from the earlier of written notice of the condemnation or Buyer’s knowledge thereof, Buyer provides Seller with written notice that Buyer elects to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.2(a).
ARTICLE VIII.
REAL ESTATE COMMISSION
Buyer and Seller each represent to the other that no broker’s or real estate commissions or other finder’s fees, other than a commission payable by Seller to CBRE, Inc. (“Broker”) are or shall be due in respect to this transaction by reason of any agreement made or which may be alleged to have been made by Buyer or Seller. At Closing, Seller shall pay all commissions and fees owed to Broker pursuant to a separate agreement with Broker. Each party agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the other from and against any and all claims, demands or the cost or expense thereof, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, arising out of any broker’s commission, fee or other compensation due or alleged to be due in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement based upon an agreement alleged to have been made or other action alleged to have been taken by the indemnifying party.

documentation that Seller may reasonably require to confirm the satisfaction of the conditions hereinabove described at least three (3) business days before Closing. Such assignee will execute an instrument whereby such assignee assumes the obligations of Buyer under this Agreement.

9.4 Waiver. The excuse or waiver of the performance by a party of any obligation of the other party under this Agreement shall only be effective if evidenced by a written statement signed by the party so excusing or waiving.

9.10 Time Periods. If the time for performance of any obligation hereunder expires on a day that is not a Business Day, the time for performance shall be extended to the next Business Day. The last day of any period of time described herein shall be deemed to end at 11:59 p.m. Central Time.

Each party, promptly upon the request of the other, shall execute and have acknowledged and delivered to the other or to the Escrow Agent, as may be appropriate, any and all further instruments reasonably requested or appropriate to evidence or give effect to the provisions of this Agreement and which are consistent with the provisions of this Agreement.
9.14 Descriptive Headings; Word Meaning. The descriptive headings of the paragraphs of this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and shall not control or affect the meaning or construction of any provisions of this Agreement. Words such as “herein,” “hereinafter,” “hereof’ and “hereunder” when used in reference to this Agreement, refer to this Agreement as a whole and not merely to a subdivision in which such words appear, unless the context otherwise requires. The singular shall include the plural and the masculine sender shall include the feminine and neuter, and vice versa, unless the context otherwise requires. The word “including” shall not be restrictive and shall be interpreted as if followed by the words “without limitation.”
9.15 Business Day. As used herein, the term “Business Day” means any day other than Saturday, Sunday and any day which is a legal holiday in the State of Kansas.
9.16 Construction of Agreement. This Agreement shall not be construed more strictly against one party than against the other merely by virtue of the fact that it may have been prepared primarily by counsel for one of the parties, it being recognized that both Buyer and Seller have contributed substantially and materially to the preparation of this Agreement.
9.17 Severability. The parties hereto intend and believe that each provision in this Agreement comports with all applicable local, state and federal laws and judicial decisions. However, if any provision in this Agreement is found by a court of law to be in violation of any applicable local, state or federal law, statute, ordinance, administrative or judicial decision, or public policy, or if in any other respect such a court declares any such provision to be illegal, invalid, unlawful, void or unenforceable as written, then it is the intent of all parties hereto that,
30 | ||
consistent with and with a view towards preserving the economic and legal arrangements among the parties hereto as expressed in this Agreement, such provision shall be given force and effect to the fullest possible extent, and that the remainder of this Agreement shall be construed as if such illegal, invalid, unlawful, void or unenforceable provision were not contained herein, and that the rights, obligations and interests of the parties under the remainder of this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect.
9.18 Exclusivity. From and after the Effective Date, Seller and its respective agents, representatives and employees shall immediately cease all marketing of the Property until such time as this Agreement is terminated and Seller shall not directly or indirectly make, accept, negotiate, entertain or otherwise pursue any offers for the sale of the Property.
9.19 Section 1031 Exchange. Either party may consummate the purchase or sale of the Property as part of a so-called like kind exchange (an “Exchange”) pursuant to Section 1031 of the Code, provided that (i) the Closing shall not be delayed or affected by reason of an Exchange nor shall the consummation or accomplishment of any Exchange be a condition precedent or condition subsequent to a party’s obligations under this Agreement; (ii) any party desiring an Exchange shall effect its Exchange through an assignment of this Agreement, or its rights under this Agreement, to a qualified intermediary and the other party shall not be required to take an assignment of the purchase agreement for the relinquished or replacement property or be required to acquire or hold title to any real property for purposes of consummating such Exchange; and (iii) the party desiring an Exchange shall pay any additional costs that would not otherwise have been incurred by Buyer or Seller had such party not consummated its purchase or sale through an Exchange. Neither party shall by this agreement or acquiescence to an Exchange desired by the other party (1) have its rights under this Agreement affected or diminished in any manner or (2) be responsible for compliance with or be deemed to have warranted to the other party that such party’s Exchange in fact complies with Section 1031 of the Code. In connection with such cooperation, Seller agrees, upon request of Buyer to “direct deed” for actual interests in the property to designees of Buyer.
9.20 Buyer’s Disclosures. Seller acknowledges that it is Buyer’s intention that the ultimate acquirer be a subsidiary of a corporation that is or intends to qualify as a real estate investment trust and that, as such, it is subject to certain filing and reporting requirements in accordance with federal laws and regulations, including but not limited to, regulations promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, and notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement or the provisions of any other existing agreement between the parties hereto to the contrary, Buyer may publically file, disclose, report or publish any and all information related to this transaction that may be reasonably interpreted as being required by federal law or regulation.
9.21 REIT Status. Seller acknowledges that XXXXXXX AMERICAN HEALTHCARE REIT III is a real estate investment trust (“REIT”). Seller further acknowledges that as a REIT, XXXXXXX AMERICAN HEALTHCARE REIT III is subject to certain filing and reporting requirements in accordance with federal laws and regulations, including, but not limited to, regulations promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, and notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement or the provisions of any other existing agreement between the parties hereto to the contrary, Buyer may publically file, disclose, report
31 | ||
or publish any and all information related to this transaction that may be reasonably interpreted as being required by federal law or regulation. Seller further agrees that it shall fully cooperate with Buyer in complying with any and all laws, regulations, ordinances, requirements and restrictions in maintaining its status as a REIT. Seller agrees and acknowledges that Buyer shall have the right to include a copy of this Agreement as an exhibit to the Form 8-K filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The provisions of this Section 9.21 shall survive the Closing.
9.22 Non-Solicitation. For the period beginning on the Closing Date and ending on the fifth (5th) anniversary of the Closing Date, Seller covenants and agrees that it shall not, nor shall it permit any of its Affiliates, or their successors and assigns, directly or indirectly, to call on or solicit any Tenant of the Property for the purpose of leasing space to such Tenant at another property owned, managed, operated or otherwise controlled by Seller or its Affiliates. For the purposes of this Section 9.22, the term (a) “Affiliate” means any corporation, limited liability company, partnership, joint venture or other entity, regardless of how organized or identified, which is directly or indirectly controlled by Seller, and (b) “control” means, when used with respect to any person, the possession, directly or indirectly, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management
and policies of such person, whether through the ownership of voting securities, by contract, or otherwise, and the terms “controlling” and “controlled” have correlative meanings.
9.23 Board Approval. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Buyer’s obligation to purchase the Property is conditioned upon the approval by the Board of Directors of Xxxxxxx-American Healthcare REIT III, Inc. (the “Board”) prior to expiration of the Due Diligence Period, which approval may be given or denied in the Board’s sole and absolute discretion. In the event such approval is not given, this Agreement shall terminate, the Deposit (less the Independent Contract Consideration) shall be returned to Buyer without any further action required from either Party, and Seller and Buyer shall thereupon be discharged from any further liability to the other arising from this Agreement (except with respect to provisions of this Agreement which recite that they survive termination).
