ARTICLE 1
PURCHASE AND SALE OF THE PROPERTY
PURCHASE AND SALE OF THE PROPERTY
Section 1.1. Purchase and Sale. Subject to the provisions, terms, covenants and conditions set forth in this Agreement, Seller agrees to sell to Buyer, and Buyer agrees to purchase from Seller, all of Seller’s right, title and interest in and to the Property, but specifically excluding any (a) rights to use any legal or trade names of Seller or any of Seller’s Affiliates in any manner, (b) insurance, indemnity, or other claims or rights of Seller under or with respect to the Leases, Contracts, Related Agreements, or Property relating to Seller’s ownership of the subject Property prior to the Closing on that Property, and (c) any Excluded Sites. The Parties agree that any Storage Tank Systems are generally intended to be and remain owned by the respective Tenant under its Lease, and to not be owned by the related Selling Entity, but notwithstanding such intention, any right, title and interest that a Selling Entity may have under the respective Lease or otherwise with respect to any Storage Tank Systems related to its Site are necessarily included in such Site for purposes of this Agreement and the conveyance by a Selling Entity to Buyer of such Site.
Section 1.2. Purchase Price; Deposit. Buyer will pay the Purchase Price as described in this Section. All payments will be made in immediately available funds delivered into escrow with the Escrow Agent.
(a) Buyer will deliver the First Deposit within two (2) Business Days following the Effective Date. Buyer will deliver the Second Deposit within one (1) Business Day after the expiration of the Diligence Period. Escrow Agent will place the Deposit in a federally insured account on behalf of Seller and Buyer. Buyer will instruct Escrow Agent whether Buyer elects to have such account be interest-bearing. Any interest earned on the Deposit will belong solely to Buyer and will be paid to Buyer regardless of the ultimate disposition of the Deposit, and accordingly all references to the “Deposit” in this Agreement exclude any interest that may be earned thereon.
(b) The Deposit will be applied as follows: (i) if Buyer terminates this Agreement when Buyer is expressly entitled to do so as provided in this Agreement, then the Deposit will be returned to Buyer; (ii) if the Deposit is to be received by Seller as provided in this Agreement, then the Deposit will be paid to Seller; and (iii) if and when the Final Closing occurs, then subject to the provisions of Section 5.1 below, the Deposit will be credited to Buyer, applied against the Purchase Price, and paid to Seller at the Final Closing.
(c) Buyer will deliver the Purchase Price, as adjusted for any Deposit amount applied thereto and any prorations, credits and adjustments to be made pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, not later than the Closing Date, to be paid to Seller at Closing; provided that if there is more than one Closing, Buyer is only obligated to pay at any one Closing such of the Purchase Price as is required to fully fund Buyer’s obligations for the subject Closing.
Section 1.3. Escrow Instructions. This Agreement, including the Escrow Instructions, will constitute the instructions for the Escrow Agent’s handling of the purchase and sale transaction contemplated herein. Seller and Buyer will execute such supplemental escrow instructions as may reasonably be required by Escrow Agent to enable Escrow Agent to comply with the terms of this Agreement. If any conflict exists between this Agreement and the provisions of any supplemental
9
Agreement of Purchase and Sale
Coyote Portfolio
escrow instructions, the terms of this Agreement will control unless a contrary intent is expressly indicated in the supplemental instructions and such supplemental instructions are signed by both Buyer and Seller.
Section 1.4. ROFR. With respect to certain of the Sites, the Tenant has a right of first refusal, right of first offer or similar right to purchase a Site that is triggered by an offer or agreement by Seller to sell the related Site to Buyer (a “ROFR”, and each Tenant with a ROFR, a “ROFR Tenant”, and each Site that is subject to a ROFR, a “ROFR Site”). Any obligations of Seller under this Agreement to sell any ROFR Site are subject to the rights of the related ROFR Tenant with respect to such ROFR Site, such that the execution of this Agreement by Seller and Buyer does not (and is not intended by the Parties to) cause a breach of such ROFR Tenant’s Lease, or a violation of or interference with such Tenant’s contractual rights. If not delivered prior to the execution of this Agreement, then not later than ten (10) Business Days after the Effective Date, Seller will provide each ROFR Tenant with a notice with respect to the proposed sale of its Site (a “ROFR Notice”) pursuant to this Agreement in substantially the manner required under such ROFR Tenant’s Lease (or in such manner as may otherwise be acceptable to such ROFR Tenant). If any such ROFR Tenant timely and properly exercises its ROFR with respect to a ROFR Site, such ROFR Site will be designated as a “ROFR Excluded Site” and excluded from the sale under this Agreement. Seller will give Buyer prompt notice of any ROFR Site that becomes a ROFR Excluded Site, and thereupon Schedule A will be amended by the Parties to remove the ROFR Excluded Site from the Property being purchased and sold under this Agreement, the Purchase Price will accordingly be reduced by the Allocated Purchase Price corresponding to such ROFR Excluded Site, and thereafter the Parties will have no further rights or obligations under this Agreement with respect to the ROFR Excluded Site, except for any Obligations Surviving Termination relating to such ROFR Excluded Site. If a ROFR Tenant does not timely and properly exercise a ROFR in accordance with the terms of its Lease, or a ROFR Tenant gives Seller written notice of such ROFR Tenant’s election not to exercise its ROFR with respect to the proposed sale under this Agreement, then promptly thereafter Seller will give Buyer notice thereof (a “ROFR Waiver Notice”), and the transaction contemplated by this Agreement will proceed with respect to such ROFR Site, subject to the other terms and conditions of this Agreement. It is a condition to Buyer’s obligation to close on a ROFR Site that Seller has provided a ROFR Waiver Notice to Buyer with respect to such ROFR Site prior to such Closing. If needed to reasonably accommodate the timeline for addressing a ROFR or receiving a ROFR Waiver Notice for any ROFR Site, Seller may designate such ROFR Site as a Delayed Closing Site.
Section 1.5. Exclusion of Sites for Diligence Matters. Subject in all events to the Diligence Exclusion Limit as defined in Section 1.5(c) below, Buyer will have the right to exclude one or more of the Sites from the sale under this Agreement as expressly set forth in this Section 1.5 (each, a “Diligence Excluded Site”) without terminating this Agreement in its entirety pursuant to Section 2.1 below. A Site may be designated as a Diligence Excluded Site only if it is subject to one or more of the following exclusion conditions (each, an “Exclusion Condition”): (1) title to the Site is subject to one or more Title Objection Matters (as defined in Section 2.2(b)) that cannot be cured or removed from title and that a reasonable, experienced third-party institutional buyer or lender would conclude render title unmarketable (a “Title Defect”); (2) an ASTM Phase I environmental study performed by a reputable consultant for Buyer (“Phase I”) concludes that Hazardous Materials are present at the Site in violation of applicable Laws, and such condition (x) would, absent remediation, preclude such Site from being insured, purchased or financed by a reasonable, experienced third-party institutional insurer, buyer or lender, and (y) is not the sole responsibility of the applicable Tenant under its Lease; or (3) Buyer reasonably determines that
10
Agreement of Purchase and Sale
Coyote Portfolio
(x) the Site has one or more Qualifying PCR Defects, or is in violation of applicable Laws or the express provisions of the Lease, (y) the Landlord is responsible under the Lease to correct, remedy or repair such issues, and (z) the reasonably estimated out-of-pocket cost for Buyer to correct, remedy or repair such issues at such Site (net of any amounts required by a Lease to be paid or reimbursed by the Tenant; provided, however, such right to payment or reimbursement will be disregarded if such Lease has less than thirty-six (36) months of term remaining as of the date of the applicable PCR) exceeds the lesser of (i) $500,000, and (ii) ten percent (10%) of the Allocated Purchase Price for the Site. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event any Phase I recommends that an ASTM Phase II environmental study be performed, Section 2.3(c) below shall apply to the affected Site.
(a) To designate a Site as a Diligence Excluded Site, Buyer must give Seller a specific written exclusion notice (each, an “Exclusion Notice”) with respect to such Site prior to the expiration of the Diligence Period, which Exclusion Notice must include and provide (i) such information or documentation as is reasonably required to explain and evidence the applicable Exclusion Condition; (ii) Buyer’s proposed, commercially reasonable solution to correct, repair, cure, remedy, or otherwise resolve such Exclusion Condition (a “Resolution”), unless such a Resolution is not reasonably believed to be achievable; and (iii) Buyer’s reasonably estimated dollar amount of either (x) the cost for Buyer to perform or obtain the Resolution of such Exclusion Condition (the “Estimated Cure Cost”), or (y) if there is no Resolution, the value reduction to the Site if a Resolution of the Exclusion Condition is not performed or obtained (the “Value Impact”). If Buyer desires to send an Exclusion Notice for a Title Defect, Buyer will designate such Site as a Diligence Excluded Site in an Exclusion Notice separate and distinct from any Buyer Title Notice sent pursuant to Section 2.2 below.
(b) Seller will, by written notice given to Buyer within ten (10) Business Days after receiving the subject Exclusion Notice, either (i) accept the subject Site as a Diligence Excluded Site, or (ii) override Buyer’s designation by agreeing to either (x) itself perform or obtain the Resolution proposed by Buyer prior to Closing on the Site, or (y) credit Buyer at the Closing of such Site for either the Estimated Cure Cost or the Value Impact (either of (x) or (y) being a “Seller Cure”). If reasonably required for Seller to evaluate the asserted Exclusion Condition for a Site, Seller may extend such response period by up to ten (10) additional Business Days. If the Site is accepted as a Diligence Excluded Site by Seller as provided above, Schedule A will thereupon be amended by the Parties to remove the Diligence Excluded Site from the Property being purchased and sold under this Agreement, the Purchase Price will accordingly be reduced by the Allocated Purchase Price corresponding to such Diligence Excluded Site, and thereafter the Parties will have no further rights or obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Diligence Excluded Site, except for any Obligations Surviving Termination relating to such Diligence Excluded Site. If the Site is not accepted as a Diligence Excluded Site, Seller will provide or complete the Seller Cure prior to or at Closing (or, if the Seller Cure cannot reasonably be completed prior to the scheduled Closing, Seller may either designate such Site as a Delayed Closing Site, or provide the Seller Cure pursuant to a post-closing holdback agreement reasonably acceptable to both Parties).
(c) Regardless of the number of conditions that Buyer may believe merit exclusion and regardless of the response of Seller to any Exclusion Notice, Buyer may not designate or attempt to designate any Sites as Diligence Excluded Sites to the extent that the total aggregate Allocated Purchase Price of all Diligence Excluded Sites so designated would exceed $62,000,000 (the “Diligence Exclusion Limit”). The Diligence Exclusion Limit applies to the total Allocated Purchase Price of Sites designated by Buyer and not to the total value of Sites that are ultimately excluded
11
Agreement of Purchase and Sale
Coyote Portfolio
as Diligence Excluded Sites. For clarity, if Buyer designates or attempts to designate a Site as a Diligence Excluded Site and Seller overrides such designation by agreeing to provide a Seller Cure, Buyer is not allowed to “replace” such Site by designating another Site as a Diligence Excluded Site if the addition of such Site to all other Sites previously designated by Buyer as Diligence Excluded Sites would cause the Diligence Exclusion Limit to be exceeded. If Buyer designates or attempts to designate Sites in excess of the Diligence Exclusion Limit as Diligence Excluded Sites, any such additional Site designations will be disregarded and automatically deemed void and of no effect (and if not reasonably severable, Buyer’s entire Exclusion Notice(s) including such excess Sites will themselves be disregarded and automatically deemed void and of no effect). Buyer additionally agrees that no Site that is being leased by the Tenant pursuant to a “Master Lease” covering more than one Site may be designated as a Diligence Excluded Site unless all other Sites that are leased pursuant to such Master Lease qualify to be Diligence Excluded Sites as set forth above and subject, in all events, to the other provisions of this Section, including without limitation the Diligence Exclusion Limit as set forth herein. For purposes of clarity the Diligence Exclusion Limit does not apply to ROFR Excluded Sites, Loan Excluded Sites or Supplemental Excluded Sites (as defined below).

Section 1.6. Supplemental Excluded Sites. The term “Supplemental Excluded Site” means a Site that has been properly designated as such for specified reasons under certain provisions of this Agreement providing for such designation, including without limitation as provided in Sections 2.2, 2.3, 3.2, 3.3, 4.4 and 5.2. Upon designation of a Site as a Supplemental Excluded Site, Schedule A will be amended by the Parties to remove the Supplemental Excluded Site from the Property being purchased and sold under this Agreement, the Purchase Price will accordingly be reduced by the Allocated Purchase Price corresponding to such Supplemental Excluded Site, and thereafter the Parties will have no further rights or obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Supplemental Excluded Site, except for any Obligations Surviving Termination relating to such Supplemental Excluded Site. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if for any reason or reasons the total aggregate Allocated Purchase Price of all Sites designated as Supplemental Excluded Sites between the Effective Date and the Initial Closing exceeds $124,000,000, then within fifteen (15) Business Days after such threshold number is exceeded (but in no event after the Initial Closing has occurred under this Agreement), Seller may elect by written notice to Buyer to terminate this Agreement in its entirety, in which event the Deposit will be returned to Buyer and this Agreement and the rights and obligations of the Parties under this Agreement will terminate, except for Obligations Surviving Termination. For purposes of clarity, the Supplemental Excluded Sites do not include the Diligence Excluded Sites, the ROFR Excluded Sites, the Loan Excluded Sites or Sites designated as Supplemental Excluded Sites by the Seller pursuant to (x) the second to last sentence of Section 2.2(e) hereof, or (y) the last sentence of Section 5.9(a) hereof.
Section 1.7. All or Nothing Purchase and Sale. Except as may be expressly provided to the contrary in this Agreement (including without limitation, Sections 1.4, 1.5, 1.6 and 1.9 of this Agreement), this Agreement provides Buyer with the right to either purchase all, or none, of the Property but does not give Buyer the right to purchase less than all of the Property, regardless of the reason, including without limitation the occurrence of a Casualty or Condemnation with respect to any one or more of the Sites; the presence of any Title Objection Matters or other Diligence Period objections that Buyer may have with respect to any one or more of the Sites; any occurrences or events at any of the Sites following the expiration of the Diligence Period; any issues with one or more Tenants or Leases; or any asserted breach, default or nonperformance by Seller with respect to any one or more of the Sites.
Section 1.8. JV Interest. The Parties acknowledge that the JV Interest is a portion of the Property, and that with respect to the JV Sites, the JV Interest will be conveyed instead of fee title to the JV Sites, as generally contemplated by Section 5.9 of this Agreement. Accordingly, the JV Sites will not be deeded to Buyer, the other Closing Documents relating to the JV Sites will be limited or revised accordingly, and the related-party property management agreements with the other member of the entity that owns the JV Sites will not be terminated with respect to the JV Sites (but Seller shall terminate the property management agreements with an Affiliate of Seller prior to or at Closing). The JV Company may, as of the Effective Date, own a separate, dormant subsidiary utilized in connection with the acquisition of the JV Sites and that does not own any interest in the JV Sites (the “JV Acquisition Subsidiary”), but if so the JV Acquisition Subsidiary will be dissolved, convey by or otherwise removed from the JV Company prior to Closing. Closing prorations for the JV Interest will address the economic distributions related to the JV Interest rather than the actual income and expense of the underlying JV Sites. The JV Interest must be purchased in its entirety; no individual JV Sites may be excluded from this transaction. The provisions of this Agreement which, by their terms, are not applicable (or are only applicable on a limited basis) to the JV Interest or the JV Sites will be construed according to the foregoing general provisions, and
13
Agreement of Purchase and Sale

the Parties agree to reasonably cooperate to provide an appropriate closing mechanism and process for the JV Interest at the Initial Closing.
Section 1.9. Existing Financing. Buyer acknowledges that certain of the Sites are Loan Sites and that in order to proceed to Closing on a Loan Site, either the Loan secured by the Loan Site must be paid in full prior to or at Closing (a “Prepayment”), or the Parties must obtain the written approval and agreement of the related Lender (a “Loan Assumption Approval”) of Seller’s assignment to, and Buyer’s assumption of, the related Loan (a “Loan Assumption”). If a Loan Assumption is elected by Buyer for a Loan Site, Seller’s obligation to close on the sale of that Loan Site to Buyer pursuant to a Loan Assumption Approval is contingent upon the Lender’s agreement pursuant to the related loan assumption documents to release Seller, its Affiliates and any existing guarantors, from all liability arising under or with respect to the Loan from and after Closing.
(a) For purposes of this Section 1.9, the following terms have the following meanings: (i) “Loan” means the existing loan which encumbers the subject Loan Site; (ii) “Lender” means the current holder(s) of the Loan, including without limitation any loan servicer(s) from which input or approval must be received to obtain the related Loan Assumption Approval; and (iii) “Loan Documents means the existing documents which evidence, secure, or otherwise govern the Loan, which Loan Documents will be included in the Seller Deliveries for the related Loan Site. For clarity, the Parties agree that the provisions of Section 1.9 do not apply to a Site that is encumbered by a Mortgage that Seller is obligated to cure or remove pursuant to Section 2.2(e) of this Agreement.
(b) For each Loan Site, Buyer will advise Seller no later than thirty (30) days after the Effective Date whether Buyer elects to pursue a Loan Assumption Approval for such Site, or will acquire such Site pursuant to a Prepayment (“Buyer’s Loan Election Notice”). If a Loan Site is in a “pool” of Sites securing a single loan or is cross-collateralized with, cross-defaulted with, or otherwise tied or linked to other Loan Sites (“Linked”), the Closing for all such Loan Sites that are so Linked together must occur at the same time and each must have an appropriate Loan Assumption Approval or be the subject of a Prepayment consistent with any Loan Assumption Approval applicable to any of such Linked Sites, such that the Closing or payoff of one Linked Loan Site does not cause a default under the Loan Documents related to that Loan Site or any other Loan Site to which it is Linked; provided, that if the Loan amount applicable to a Linked Site may be prepaid without impairing the status under such Loan of any other Loan Site to which it is Linked, such Loan Site may be included in a prior Closing subject to the appropriate Prepayment at such Closing; but provided further, that Seller will have no obligation to pay any additional amount beyond the principal balance otherwise allocable to such Loan Site to achieve such Prepayment. Subject to the foregoing, if Buyer elects to pursue a Loan Assumption Approval for a Loan Site, such Site and any other Loan Site to which it is Linked will be designated as a Delayed Closing Site.
(c) If Buyer elects to pursue a Loan Assumption Approval, Buyer will timely pay all fees, costs and expenses required by Lender as a condition to initiating or processing the Loan Assumption or providing the Loan Assumption Approval, including without limitation all attorneys’ fees, title costs, appraisal fees, rating agency fees, and other third party costs incurred or imposed by the Lender in connection with Buyer’s application for and pursuit of the Loan Assumption Approval (collectively, the “Loan Assumption Costs”), regardless of whether the process ultimately results in a Loan Assumption Approval, the Closing of the subject Loan Site occurs, or this Agreement is terminated prior to such Closing or any Closing. Buyer’s obligation to pay all Loan Assumption Costs will expressly survive the Closing or any termination of this Agreement. If a Loan Assumption Approval is obtained for a Loan Site, Buyer and Seller will each pay, as and
14
Agreement of Purchase and Sale
Coyote Portfolio
when required in connection with the Closing of such Site, one-half of any separate loan assumption fee which may be required by the subject Loan Documents for such Loan Assumption (a “Loan Assumption Fee”).
(d) No later than ten (10) Business Days after receiving Buyer’s Loan Election Notice for a Loan Site, Seller will request an application from the Lender for the assignment and assumption of the Loan. Within ten (10) Business Days after Buyer’s receipt of the loan assumption application from either Seller or Lender, Buyer will send the completed application to Lender together with such application fee and expense payments or deposits as may be required by the Lender.
(e) In seeking each Loan Assumption Approval, each of Buyer and Seller agree to (i) reasonably cooperate with the applicable Lender’s customary requests for delivery of information, (ii) enter into commercially reasonable loan assumption documents in form and content customarily required of similarly situated buyers and sellers in similar transactions, and (iii) comply with any other commercially reasonable requirements and conditions of such Lender in connection with the assumption of the Loan; provided, that Seller is not obligated to assume, accept or retain any post-closing liability with respect to such Loan for any matters first occurring after the Closing at which the Loan Assumption occurs. Buyer acknowledges that the Lender is not typically obligated to modify the economic terms of a Loan and that Buyer’s obligation to assume a Loan is not conditioned upon Lender providing any modifications to the economic terms of the Loan; provided, that Buyer likewise is not obligated to agree to any material modification of the terms of a Loan in order to obtain the Loan Assumption Approval including, without limitation, any increase in Buyer’s obligations under the related Loan Documents or decrease in Buyer’s rights under such Loan Documents. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer may request customary changes to non-economic terms of the Loan (such as revising provisions to apply to Buyer and its Affiliates rather than Seller, for example). Buyer will provide Seller with regular updates, and upon Seller’s request, of the status of each Loan Assumption Approval.
(f) If despite the Parties’ commercially reasonable efforts, the related Lender states that such Lender will not provide the Loan Assumption Approval for a Loan Site or the Loan Assumption Approval for a designated Loan Site has otherwise not been obtained within one hundred fifty (150) days after Buyer’s submission to the related Lender of Buyer’s loan assumption application therefor, then not later than fifteen (15) Business Days thereafter (but prior to the time that any such approval is actually obtained (if applicable)), Seller will elect, in Seller’s sole discretion, by notice to Buyer either (i) that the Parties will proceed to Closing on the subject Loan Site pursuant to a Prepayment rather than a Loan Assumption; provided that in only such instance, Seller and Buyer will each be responsible for the payment of one-half (1/2) of any Loan Prepayment Costs (defined below); or (ii) that the subject Loan Site for which a Loan Assumption Approval cannot be obtained be designated as a “Loan Excluded Site”. If Seller and Buyer agree that a Loan Assumption Approval may be granted if additional time is provided or such additional time will allow the Parties to address issues raised by the Lender or reduce fees required in connection with the assumption or prepayment of such Loan, the 150-day period above shall be extended by the Parties for not more than ninety (90) additional days. Upon designation of a Loan Site as a Loan Excluded Site, Schedule A will be amended by the Parties to remove the Loan Excluded Site from the Property being purchased and sold under this Agreement, the Purchase Price will accordingly be reduced by the Allocated Purchase Price corresponding to such Loan Excluded Site, and thereafter the Parties will have no further rights or obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loan Excluded Site, except for any Obligations Surviving Termination relating to such Loan Excluded Site. For clarity, the Parties agree that a Loan Excluded Site will not be considered a Supplemental
15
Agreement of Purchase and Sale
Coyote Portfolio
Excluded Site for purposes of Section 1.6 of this Agreement. Buyer will also have the right, at any time, to voluntarily abandon its pursuit of a Loan Assumption Approval on any Loan Site and proceed to Closing on the subject Loan Site pursuant to a Prepayment. In any of the foregoing events, the related Closing Date for such Loan Site will be thirty (30) days from the date of such determination to proceed to Closing on the subject Loan Site pursuant to a Prepayment rather than a Loan Assumption. Except as expressly provided above in this Section 1.9(f), in no event will the inability or failure of Buyer to obtain a Loan Assumption Approval (or any decision as aforesaid by Buyer or Seller to discontinue the pursuit of a Loan Assumption Approval) relieve Buyer from Buyer’s obligation to close the purchase of the related Loan Site, subject, however, to the other applicable provisions of this Agreement; and in no event will such inability, failure or decision relieve Buyer from Buyer’s obligation to pay all Loan Assumption Costs.
(g) If Buyer is acquiring a Loan Site subject to the related Loan pursuant to a Loan Assumption Approval, at the related Closing (i) Buyer will receive a credit against the Purchase Price applicable to the Loan Site in an amount equal to the outstanding principal balance of the Loan as of the date of such Closing; (ii) interest payable under the Loan will be prorated as of the date of such Closing, with Seller crediting Buyer at Closing for any for interest accrued and unpaid through the Closing Date (and any amounts otherwise due and payable, but unpaid, on the Closing Date allocable to such Loan), and with Buyer being responsible for interest accruing on and after such date and any other such credited amounts; and (iii) Seller will receive a credit from Buyer at Closing for the amount of any impounds, escrows, reserves, or similar funds held by Lender in connection with the Loan to the extent that Seller transfers Seller’s right, title and interest in and to such transferred impounds, escrows, reserves, or similar funds to Buyer in connection with Buyer’s assumption of the Loan.
(h) If Buyer is acquiring a Loan Site pursuant to a Prepayment, at the related Closing (i) Seller will be responsible for paying to the related Lender an amount equal to the outstanding principal balance of the Loan as of the date of such Closing, together with all scheduled interest due and payable under the Loan as of the date of such Prepayment (which amounts may be paid from the Purchase Price being received by Seller from Buyer at such Closing); (ii) Buyer will be responsible for paying to the Lender any prepayment charges, “yield maintenance” charges, or other charges owed to or assessed by the Lender as a result of the Loan being paid off prior to its scheduled maturity (“Loan Prepayment Costs”), in addition to the Allocated Purchase Price for the subject Loan Site; provided, however, that if (and only if) Seller has elected to require the subject Prepayment as provided in Section 1.9(f)(i), Seller and Buyer will each pay one-half (1/2) of the applicable Loan Prepayment Costs for such Prepayment; and (iii) Seller will be entitled to receive and retain from the Lender the amount of any impounds, escrows, reserves, or similar funds held by the Lender in connection with the Loan (if any).
(i) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 1.9, the Parties agree that the Closing for any “United Oil” Sites that are subject to Loans for which Buyer has not elected to pursue a Loan Assumption may be postponed by Buyer until the earliest Business Day in May, 2020 upon which a Prepayment with respect to such Loans may be made to the related Lender without incurring any Loan Prepayment Costs. If Buyer so elects to postpone such Closing, Buyer will give written notice to Seller of such election prior to the expiration of the Diligence Period, whereupon such Sites will be designated as Delayed Closing Sites and the Closing for such Sites will be upon such date in May 2020 unless Buyer, in its discretion, elects to close earlier (but in no event prior to the Initial Closing) and pay any Loan Prepayment Costs applicable to such earlier prepayment.

BUYER’S INVESTIGATIONS; AS-IS SALE.
BUYER’S INVESTIGATIONS; AS-IS SALE.
Section 2.1. Buyer’s Investigations.
(a) During the Diligence Period, Buyer may conduct such commercially reasonable, non-invasive investigations, studies or tests of the Property as Buyer deems necessary to determine whether Buyer desires to complete the acquisition of the Property. Buyer, in its sole and absolute discretion and for any reason or no reason whatsoever, may reject the entirety of the Property by giving written notice of termination to Seller and Escrow Agent (the “Termination Notice”) prior to the expiration of the Diligence Period. If Buyer timely gives a Termination Notice, then Buyer will promptly deliver to Seller copies (which may be electronic) of all third-party diligence reports received or obtained by Buyer with respect to the Sites (including, without limitation, title commitments, surveys, property condition assessments, zoning reports and Phase I environmental site assessments), and upon Seller’s confirmation of receipt of such reports, the Deposit will be returned to Buyer and this Agreement and the rights and obligations of the Parties under this Agreement will terminate, except for Obligations Surviving Termination. Alternately, Buyer may accept the entirety of the Property (subject to the express provisions of this Agreement allowing the removal or exclusion of Excluded Sites) by giving written notice of acceptance to Seller and Escrow Agent (the “Acceptance Notice”) prior to the expiration of the Diligence Period. If Buyer timely delivers an Acceptance Notice, or fails to deliver either a Termination Notice or an Acceptance Notice prior to the expiration of the Diligence Period, Buyer will be deemed to have accepted the entirety of the Property (subject to the express provisions of this Agreement allowing the removal or exclusion of Excluded Sites), the Deposit will become nonrefundable to Buyer (other than as expressly set forth in this Agreement), and this Agreement will continue in effect subject to the other provisions hereof. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that Buyer will have the opportunity during the Diligence Period to inspect and investigate the Property. Subject to the other provisions of this Agreement, the failure of Buyer to deliver a Termination Notice prior to the expiration of the Diligence Period will conclusively evidence Buyer’s satisfaction with such investigations and Buyer will be deemed to have reviewed, accepted, and approved of the entirety of the Property (subject to the express provisions of this Agreement allowing the removal or exclusion of Excluded Sites).
(b) Not later than three (3) Business Days following the Effective Date, Seller will deliver to Buyer, or make available to Buyer by diligence website or other electronic means to which Buyer has been given access, the Seller Deliveries. Seller will have no obligation to deliver or disclose to Buyer any of Seller’s attorney-client privileged materials, appraisals, internal memoranda, or internal evaluations of the Property. Except as may be otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement, Seller makes no representations or warranties of any kind regarding the accuracy, thoroughness or completeness of, or conclusions drawn in the information contained in the Seller Deliveries or any other Diligence Materials.
(c) If this Agreement is terminated for any reason, Buyer will promptly return to Seller all Diligence Materials delivered to Buyer in physical form in connection with the Property, if any.
Section 2.2. Title and Survey Matters; Objections.
(a) Promptly following the Effective Date, Title Company will deliver to Buyer and Seller a title insurance commitment or preliminary title report showing the status of title to each Site (each, a “Title Commitment”). During the Diligence Period Buyer may also, at Buyer’s expense, obtain
17
Agreement of Purchase and Sale
Coyote Portfolio
a new or updated ALTA survey of a Site performed by a registered surveyor and certified to Buyer, the Title Company, and any other party required by Buyer. Buyer will deliver a copy (which may be a “pdf” or other electronic copy) of any such new Survey to Seller and Title Company promptly after Buyer’s receipt thereof. Any matters disclosed by the Title Commitment or Survey for a Site which are approved, deemed approved, waived, or deemed waived by Buyer pursuant to the terms of this Agreement shall constitute “Permitted Exceptions” with respect to such Site.
(b) If any exceptions appear on the Title Commitment (or any updates thereto) for a Site, or any encroachments or other title conditions are shown on the Survey (or any updates thereto) for a Site, that are not acceptable to Buyer, Buyer will provide a written notice to Seller and Title Company of such unacceptable matters affecting such Site (“Title Objection Matters”) prior to the expiration of the Diligence Period (each, a “Buyer Title Notice”). Unless timely objected to in writing by Buyer as Title Objection Matters as provided above, all matters disclosed by the Title Commitment or Survey (or any updates thereto) for a Site, whether prior to or following the expiration of the Diligence Period, shall be deemed to constitute Permitted Exceptions for such Site.
(c) Except as expressly provided in Section 2.2(e) below as to Seller Required Title Matters, Seller will have no obligation to bring any action or proceeding, incur any expense, or otherwise take any action whatsoever to cure, remove or otherwise address any Title Objection Matters. Seller may elect (but is not obligated) to cure or attempt to cure any Title Objection Matters, and Seller will notify Buyer not later than ten (10) Business Days after receiving a Buyer Title Notice if Seller elects to cure or attempt to cure any of such Title Objection Matters (a “Seller Title Response”). The failure of Seller to provide notice to Buyer within such period that Seller elects to cure or attempt to cure any Title Objection Matters for a Site will be deemed to mean that Seller does not elect to cure or attempt to cure any Title Objection Matters for that Site. Seller may use any portion of the Purchase Price being paid at Closing to cure or remove any Title Objection Matters that Seller has agreed to cure or remove, provided the Title Company must thereupon either remove such Title Objection Matter as an exception to title or “cure” such Title Objection Matter by affirmatively insuring over or providing such other coverage as may be reasonably acceptable to Buyer with respect to such Title Objection Matter. A Title Objection Matter that is not completely removed as an exception to title but has been cured as required above will, as so cured, be a Permitted Exception. Seller will be entitled to extend the original Closing Date for any Site with respect to which Seller elects to cure or remove any Title Objection Matters (including for this purpose any Seller Required Title Cure Items as defined in Section 2.2(e) below) for up to thirty (30) days if reasonably needed to effect the cure or removal thereof, and if so elected such Site will be treated as a Delayed Closing Site pursuant to Section 5.1 below. If Seller expressly agrees to cure or attempt to cure any Title Objection Matters for a Site (including for this purpose any Seller Required Title Cure Items) but fails to achieve such cure at least five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing Date (as may be so extended) applicable to such Site (unless Seller will effect such cure by a payment of money at the subject Closing), Buyer will, as its sole and exclusive remedy for such failure, elect prior to such Closing Date to either (i) waive any such uncured Title Objection Matters and proceed to Closing on such Site, or (ii) designate such Site as a Supplemental Excluded Site pursuant to Section 1.6 above.
(d) If (i) Title Company has not agreed to address the Title Objection Matters raised by Buyer in a manner reasonably acceptable to Buyer, or (ii) Seller has not elected in a Seller Title Response to cure or attempt to cure the Title Objection Matters raised by Buyer that are not being addressed by Title Company pursuant to clause (i), then Buyer will, by a written notice given to
18
Agreement of Purchase and Sale
Coyote Portfolio
Seller not later than ten (10) Business Days after the expiration of the Diligence Period, either (x) elect to waive any such uncured Title Objection Matters and proceed to Closing, or (y) list not more than twenty-five (25) Sites for which Buyer is not willing to proceed to Closing as a result of material uncured Title Objection Matters, which list will specify in detail such material uncured Title Objection Matters with respect to such Sites and the cure or remedy requested by Buyer to address such Title Objection Matters (“Buyer’s Critical Title Notice”). Seller will, by responsive notice given to Buyer within fifteen (15) Business Days after receiving Buyer’s Critical Title Notice (“Seller’s Critical Title Response”), elect to (A) cure or attempt to cure, in whole or in part in such manner as may be detailed in Seller’s notice, some or all of the Title Objection Matters on Buyer’s Critical Title Notice pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.2(c) above; (B) designate some or all of the Sites listed on Buyer’s Critical Title Notice as Supplemental Excluded Sites pursuant to Section 1.6; or (C) decline to provide any action or remedy for some or all of the Title Objection Matters on Buyer’s Critical Title Notice. By responsive notice given to Seller within five (5) Business Days after receiving Seller’s Critical Title Response, Buyer will elect to either (1) accept Seller’s actions (if any) pursuant clause (A) or (B), waive any other Title Objection Matters not addressed by Seller, and proceed to Closing; or (2) if (but only if) Buyer’s reasonably-estimated aggregate reduction in value of the Sites for which Seller is not willing to cure or attempt to cure the Title Objection Matters set forth in Buyer’s Critical Title Notice (the “Uncured Critical Title Matter Value”) exceeds $10,000,000, terminate this Agreement as to the entirety of the Property, in which event the Deposit will be returned to Buyer and thereafter the Parties will have no further rights or obligations under this Agreement except for Obligations Surviving Termination. For clarity, if the Uncured Critical Title Matter Value is less than $10,000,000, Buyer’s sole remedy will be to elect clause (1) above, and Buyer will not have the right to elect to terminate this Agreement under clause (2). Any failure of Buyer to timely provide a notice required under this Section 2.2(d) shall be deemed an election by Buyer to waive the related uncured Title Objection Matters and proceed to Closing. Any Title Objection Matters waived (or deemed waived) by Buyer for a Site shall be deemed to constitute Permitted Exceptions for such Site. Any failure of Seller to timely provide a notice required under this Section 2.2(d) shall be deemed an election by Seller to take no action with respect to the related uncured Title Objection Matters.
(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section, prior to or at the Closing of each Site Seller will, subject to the provisions of this Section 2.2(e), (i) cure or remove the Seller Required Title Cure Items (as such term is defined below) that are expressly identified by Buyer on a separate written list detailing each such item that is delivered by Buyer to Seller not later than five (5) Business Days after the end of the Diligence Period (“Buyer’s Required Title Cure Notice”), and (ii) deliver to Title Company Seller’s form of “Owner’s Certification” regarding work performed and other customary matters applicable to such Site in substantially the form attached as Exhibit A to this Agreement, which Title Company has confirmed is sufficient to remove such “standard printed exceptions” as may be removed from a title policy by such an undertaking, and which may (to the extent acceptable to Title Company) be undertaken in one or more such documents applicable to one or more Sites. For purposes of this Section, “Seller Required Title Cure Items” means the following items, to the extent timely noticed by Buyer as provided above: (x) the lien of any Mortgage encumbering a Site, specifically excluding any Mortgage that relates to a Loan Site for which Buyer has obtained a Loan Assumption Approval as provided in Section 1.9 above, and subject to the provisions of Section 1.9 addressing the Parties’ respective obligations regarding any Prepayment; (y) mechanics’ liens filed with respect to work performed at a Site pursuant to a written agreement directly between the lien claimant and Seller; and (z) other monetary liens filed against the Real Property of such Site and caused solely by the acts or omissions of Seller (and excluding specifically but without limitation any such liens arising from or relating to obligations for
19
Agreement of Purchase and Sale
Coyote Portfolio
which the Tenant of the Site is responsible under its Lease); provided, that Seller is not obligated under clause (z) to expend any more than $100,000 for any single Site or an aggregate of $10,000,000 for all Sites to cure or remove such liens. In the event Seller elects under the final clause of the immediately preceding sentence to not cure or remove such a lien, the applicable Site shall be designated as a Supplemental Excluded Site pursuant to Section 1.6. The obligations of Seller pursuant to this Section 2.2(e) may be referred to as the “Seller Required Title Matters.”
(f) Buyer’s obligation to close the purchase on any given Site is conditioned upon Title Company being committed, upon the conclusion of the process and receipt of the deliveries contemplated by this Section 2.2, to issue a standard coverage owner’s policy of title insurance with respect to the Real Property for such Site in the amount of the Allocated Purchase Price for such Site, subject to the Permitted Exceptions related to such Site as determined pursuant to this Section 2.2, but subject to receipt by the Title Company at the applicable Closing of the applicable title premium for such policy and the satisfaction by Buyer of the customary Buyer’s conditions and requirements applicable thereto.
Section 2.3. Entry, Insurance and Indemnity.
(a) Buyer must give Seller not less than five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice of any desired entry by any Buyer Parties onto any Site to perform any testing or inspections and must coordinate such entry and any related testing or inspections with Seller and the Tenant of such Site so as to minimize, to the greatest extent possible, any interference with the business of the Tenant of such Site. Buyer’s entry rights with respect to a Site are subject to all applicable provisions of the Lease for that Site. Buyer must otherwise conduct each entry upon any Site in a commercially reasonable manner. Seller has the right to have a representative present during any entry by any Buyer Parties onto any Site as to which notice was required pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 2.3(a), provided that the failure of Seller to exercise that right will not delay or suspend Buyer’s right to enter.
(b) Buyer may not conduct any invasive testing, drilling, or boring at any Site, or any environmental testing of any Site other than a standard ASTM “Phase I” environmental study, without in each instance obtaining the prior written approval of Seller, which approval may be withheld in Seller’s sole and absolute discretion and, if granted, will be conditioned upon such precautions as Seller deems advisable to protect itself, the Tenant, and the Site.
(c) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.3(b), if as part of Buyer’s diligence Buyer obtains a Phase I performed by a reputable consultant for any Site that concludes a Phase II environmental study of aspects of such Site needs to be performed, and as a result Buyer desires to have such a Phase II study performed for the subject Site, Buyer will provide a separate written notice thereof to Seller (each, a “Phase II Notice”) prior to the expiration of the Diligence Period. Buyer’s Phase II Notice will include the following items, all of which will be subject to Seller’s reasonable review, comment and written approval prior to the performance of any work at the Property relating to such Phase II: (i) a copy of Buyer’s Phase I report containing the recommendation for the Phase II; (ii) Buyer’s agreement with Buyer’s environmental consultant for the performance of the Phase II; (iii) the detailed scope of work such consultant proposes to perform for such Phase II, including without limitation the details of any entry upon and activities to be performed by or for such consultant at or about the Property; and (iv) an insurance certificate from Buyer’s consultant evidencing that such consultant will be providing Seller, the other Seller Parties, and the Tenant of the subject Site with liability insurance (as additional insureds) for such
20
Agreement of Purchase and Sale
Coyote Portfolio
consultant’s entry upon or about the Site in amounts not less than are required under Section 2.3(d) of the Agreement with respect to the Phase II. Seller will respond to Buyer’s Phase II Notice within seven (7) Business Days of receipt, either (x) approving Buyer’s performance of the Phase II study as requested; (y) approving Buyer’s performance of the Phase II study subject to specific comments, requirements or conditions (which may include, without limitation, the approval of the Tenant of the subject Site); or (z) disapproving Buyer’s performance of the Phase II study. Buyer will pay all costs and expenses incurred by Buyer and Buyer’s consultants in connection with the proposed Phase II study, whether or not approved or performed. If the Phase II study is approved and performed, then upon request by Seller, Buyer will provide a copy of the Phase II report to Seller when completed. If the Phase II study is not approved by Seller (or, if required by the subject Lease, by Tenant), then within five (5) Business Days after receiving Seller’s notice that the Phase II cannot be performed, Buyer will elect by written notice to Seller to either (A) proceed to Closing on such Site, or (B) designate such Site as a Supplemental Excluded Site pursuant to Section 1.6 above. If the Phase II study is performed but does not resolve the subject issue(s) in a manner that would allow the Property to be purchased or financed by a reasonable, experienced third-party institutional buyer or lender, then within five (5) Business Days after receiving the Phase II report so concluding (but in any case not later than forty-five (45) days after Buyer received approval to perform the Phase II study), Buyer will elect by written notice to Seller to either (1) proceed to Closing on such Site, or (2) designate such Site as a Supplemental Excluded Site pursuant to Section 1.6 above. The Closing Date for a Site for which Buyer properly submits a Phase II Notice will be tolled if Seller approves Buyer’s performance of the Phase II study, in which case such Site will be treated as a Delayed Closing Site and, unless such Site is ultimately designated as a Supplemental Excluded Site as provided above, the Closing Date for such Site will be the sixtieth (60th) day after Buyer received approval to perform the Phase II study.
(d) Buyer will maintain commercial general liability insurance on current ISO forms (or their functional equivalent) insuring against any liability arising out of the Buyer Parties activities in, upon, about or with respect to the Property, with limits of at least $3,000,000 per occurrence and $10,000,000 aggregate (which limits may include applicable excess or umbrella coverage). Buyer’s policy must insure the contractual liability of Buyer’s indemnification and defense obligations under this Agreement and must (i) name Seller and the other Seller Parties as additional insureds with respect to all Claims arising out of the activities of the Buyer Parties in, upon, about or with respect to the Property, (ii) contain a cross-liability provision, and (iii) be primary and noncontributing with any other insurance available to Seller and the other Seller Parties. Buyer must provide Seller with evidence that Buyer has such insurance coverages in force prior to any entry by a Buyer Party upon any of the Sites, and such insurance must be maintained in force by Buyer at all times prior to the termination of this Agreement or the Final Closing. Buyer will also require that any Buyer Party entering upon any Site also maintains insurance substantially consistent with all of the foregoing requirements, provided that the occurrence and aggregate limits for a consultant performing non-invasive work may be as low as $1,000,000 and $2,000,000, respectively.
(e) Buyer will pay all costs incurred in connection with Buyer’s due diligence activities regarding the Property, will promptly repair and restore any damage caused to any Site by such activities, and will not permit any mechanics or other liens to be filed against any Site as a result of such activities. BUYER WILL INDEMNIFY, DEFEND AND HOLD THE SELLER PARTIES HARMLESS FROM AND AGAINST ANY CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF ANY ACTIVITIES OF THE BUYER PARTIES IN, UPON, ABOUT OR WITH RESPECT TO THE PROPERTY PRIOR TO CLOSING; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT BUYER WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR
21

INDEMNIFYING SELLER FOR THE MERE DISCOVERY OF ANY PRE-EXISTING ADVERSE CONDITION ON ANY SITE (ENVIRONMENTAL OR OTHERWISE). Buyer’s indemnity and insurance obligations under this Article 2 are not limited by any other limitation on damages or remedies under this Agreement, including without limitation the liquidated damages provisions contained in Article 6.

ARTICLE 3
OPERATION OF THE PROPERTY
OPERATION OF THE PROPERTY
Section 3.1. Operation of the Property. Between the Effective Date and the Closing Date, and subject to the provisions of the Leases, Seller will (a) use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain (or cause each Tenant to maintain, as appropriate) each Site in substantially the same condition as existed on the Effective Date, subject to reasonable wear and tear and any damage or destruction by Casualty, Condemnation (both as defined below), or other causes or events beyond the reasonable control of Seller; and (b) obtain Buyer’s consent prior to entering into any (i) amendment to any Lease (unless that amendment is required under such Lease), or (ii) except as may be otherwise expressly permitted under this Agreement, any new or amended consensual agreement that would be binding upon either a Site or Buyer following Closing. If Buyer fails to either give or expressly refuse such a consent within five (5) Business Days of receiving the written request therefor from Seller, such consent shall conclusively be deemed to have been given. Buyer’s consent to such a request with respect to any Site (x) may not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed with respect to any such amendment or agreement that is proposed by Seller prior to the expiration of the Diligence Period; and (y) may be granted or withheld in Buyer’s sole but commercially reasonable discretion with respect to any such amendment or agreement that is proposed by Seller between the expiration of the Diligence Period and the Closing of such Site. Between the Effective Date and the Closing Date, Seller will also use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain compliance in all material respects with the provisions of the Loan Documents applicable to the Loan Sites.
Section 3.2. Casualty. If a Site is damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty event (“Casualty”) first occurring after the Effective Date but prior to the Closing of such Site, Seller will provide written notice to Buyer of such Casualty promptly following Seller’s receipt of actual knowledge of such Casualty. If the Site is “materially damaged or destroyed” (as defined below) by such Casualty, Buyer may designate such Site as a Supplemental Excluded Site by written notice given to Seller within ten (10) Business Days after Buyer receives notice of the occurrence of such Casualty, and it will be excluded from this transaction as provided in Section 1.6 above. If the Site is not deemed “materially damaged or destroyed,” or if it is but the Site is not timely designated as a Supplemental Excluded Site by Buyer, then Buyer will remain bound to purchase the Site for the full Allocated Purchase Price pursuant (and subject) to the terms of this Agreement, without regard to the occurrence or effects of the Casualty; provided that (a) if the Tenant is
24
Agreement of Purchase and Sale
Coyote Portfolio
responsible under the applicable Lease for insuring the Site suffering the Casualty, then at the Closing for such Site Seller will assign to Buyer Seller’s interest in the property insurance proceeds payable to Seller (if any) under such Tenant’s insurance for the restoration of the physical damage to such Site, up to (but not to exceed) the Allocated Purchase Price amount for such Site, or (b) if Seller is responsible under the applicable Lease for insuring the Site suffering the Casualty, then at the Closing for such Site Seller will provide Buyer with a credit against the Purchase Price equal to the amount of the property insurance proceeds that would be payable to Seller (if any) under Seller’s insurance for the repair of the physical damage to such Site, plus any deductible amount applicable thereto, up to (but not to exceed) the Allocated Purchase Price amount for such Site, and net of any out-of-pocket costs and expenses reasonably incurred by Seller prior to Closing (“Seller’s Casualty Costs”) in connection with the Casualty. For purposes of this Section, a Site that is subject to a Casualty shall be deemed “materially damaged or destroyed” only if (i) the Landlord is responsible under the applicable Lease for insuring or restoring the Site but (x) the insurance proceeds amount (including applicable deductible) that would be credited to Buyer as provided above for such Site (for clarity, net of Seller’s Casualty Costs, if any) is not reasonably sufficient to fund the full out-of-pocket cost for any repairs Buyer would be required to pay for or make to return such Site to a condition substantially as good as existed immediately prior to the Casualty, and (y) Seller does not agree (in Seller’s sole and absolute discretion) to pay or credit Buyer for the anticipated shortfall; (ii) the Tenant has the express right to xxxxx rent under the applicable Lease, such abatement would continue beyond the scheduled Closing Date for such Site, and Seller does not agree (in Seller’s sole and absolute discretion) to pay or credit Buyer for the full amount of such post-Closing rental abatement; or (iii) the Tenant has the express right to terminate the applicable Lease as a result of the Casualty affecting such Site, unless waived in writing by such Tenant.
Section 3.3. Condemnation. If any condemnation proceedings are first instituted, or notice of any eminent domain proceeding, condemnation or intent to condemn is first given, with respect to all or any portion of the Real Property for a Site after the Effective Date but prior to the Closing of such Site, or if any condemnation proceedings are pending as of the Effective Date or notice of any eminent domain proceeding, condemnation or intent to condemn was received by Seller prior to the Effective Date but is not set forth on Schedule 3.3 (a “Condemnation”), Seller will provide written notice to Buyer of such Condemnation promptly following Seller’s receipt of actual knowledge of such Condemnation or discovery of its omission from Schedule 3.3. The Parties agree that the matters set forth on Schedule 3.3 (if any) will be addressed as provided in Schedule 3.3 and will not be treated as “Condemnation” under this Section 3.3. If the Condemnation will result in a “material and adverse effect” (as defined below) to the Site, Buyer may designate such Site as a Supplemental Excluded Site by written notice given to Seller within ten (10) Business Days after Buyer receives notice of the Condemnation, and it will be excluded from this transaction as provided in Section 1.6 above. If the Condemnation will not result in a “material and adverse effect” to the Property, or if it will but the Site is not timely designated as a Supplemental Excluded Site by Buyer, Buyer will remain bound to purchase the Property for the full Purchase Price pursuant (and subject) to the terms of this Agreement, without regard to the occurrence or effect of the Condemnation; provided that at the Closing for such Site Seller will assign to Buyer Seller’s interest in the award payable to Seller on account of the Condemnation (if any), but net of any losses, costs and expenses reasonably incurred by Seller prior to Closing in connection with the Condemnation. For purposes of this Section, a “material and adverse effect” to a Site means (a) such Condemnation is reasonably likely to result in the taking of title to all or part of the affected Site within twelve (12) months after the Effective Date, and (b) (i) the Landlord is responsible under the Lease for restoring the Site suffering a Condemnation but (x) the condemnation award proceeds that would be assigned
25

Coyote Portfolio
to Buyer as provided above for such Site are not reasonably sufficient to fund the restoration Buyer would be required to make to return the Real Property of such Site to a lawful operating condition that complies with the applicable terms and conditions of the related Lease regarding such a Condemnation, and (y) Seller does not agree (in Seller’s sole and absolute discretion) to pay or credit Buyer for the anticipated shortfall; (ii) the Tenant has the express right to xxxxx rent under the applicable Lease as a result of the Condemnation, such abatement would continue beyond the scheduled Closing Date for such Site, and Seller does not agree (in Seller’s sole and absolute discretion) to pay or credit Buyer for the full amount of such post-Closing rental abatement; or (iii) the Tenant has the express right to terminate the applicable Lease as a result of the Condemnation affecting such Site, unless waived in writing by such Tenant.
Section 3.4. Contracts.
i.Any Contracts existing on the Effective Date will be provided to Buyer as a part of the Seller Deliveries for Buyer’s review during the Diligence Period. Not later than the expiration of the Diligence Period, Buyer will deliver a written notice to Seller setting forth which, if any, of the Contracts Buyer elects to have Seller terminate. Seller will deliver notices of termination prior to or at Closing terminating those Contracts that Buyer so timely notifies Seller to terminate, and Seller will be responsible for any termination penalties or fees associated with the termination of such Contracts. At Closing, Seller will assign to Buyer, to the extent assignable, and Buyer will assume, all remaining Contracts for each Site pursuant to the Assignment of Contracts described in Section 5.3 below. Any amounts paid or payable under any Contracts being assigned to Buyer will be appropriately prorated between the Parties at Closing.
ii.After the Effective Date, Seller will request Buyer’s consent prior to entering into any new Contract, or amending any existing Contract, unless that Contract (as may be so amended) either will not extend beyond Closing or is terminable by Seller prior to or at Closing. If Buyer fails to either give or expressly refuse such consent within five (5) Business Days after receiving the written request from Seller, such consent shall conclusively be deemed to have been given. Buyer’s consent (i) may not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed with respect to any such Contract or amendment that is proposed prior to the expiration of the Diligence Period; and (ii) may be granted or withheld in Buyer’s sole but commercially reasonable discretion with respect to any such Contract or amendment that is proposed for a Site between the expiration of the Diligence Period and Closing of such Site.
iii.Seller will cause any Broker Listing Agreements and any Property Management Agreements to be terminated with respect to the Sites affected thereby prior to or as of the Closing Date for the subject Sites, and Seller will be solely responsible for any termination fees or other payments due under any such terminated agreements, unless such payments (typically for unpaid leasing commissions) constitute Leasing Costs otherwise allocated to Buyer under Section 3.6 below, provided that any such Leasing Costs have been consented to by Buyer in writing to the extent such consent is required by Section 3.1 above.

Section 3.5. Lease Enforcement. Prior to the Closing Date, Seller will have the right, but not the obligation, to enforce the rights and remedies of the landlord under any Lease, and to apply all or any portion of any security deposits then held by Seller toward any loss or damage incurred by Seller by reason of any defaults by the applicable Tenant. Seller will provide to Buyer a copy of any written notice of default given to or received from any Tenant after the Effective Date promptly following Seller’s delivery or receipt thereof.
Section 3.6. Leasing Costs. At or prior to Closing, Seller will pay any Leasing Costs that are or become due and payable prior to Closing for matters that occurred under the Leases prior to the Effective Date with respect to the Leases that are subject to that Closing, which Leasing Costs as of the Effective Date (if any) are set forth on Schedule E attached to this Agreement. If as of the Closing Date there are any unpaid (but not then due and payable) Leasing Costs for matters that occurred under the Leases prior to the Effective Date (for example, for pending tenant improvement work or “second half” leasing commissions), then at Closing Seller will establish a post-closing holdback with Escrow Agent containing the funds necessary to pay such amounts, and Buyer and Seller will each promptly approve the disbursement of such funds to the appropriate payees when such amounts become properly due and payable. Additionally, if the Closing occurs Buyer will be responsible for and will pay any Leasing Costs relating to or arising from any matters that occurred under the Leases after the Effective Date, including without limitation the exercise by a Tenant of a renewal, expansion or extension option contained in any Lease. The provisions of this Section will survive the Closing.

Buyer and Seller each represent and warrant to the other, and to Escrow Agent, that (a) such Party is not a Restricted Person; (b) such Party is not knowingly acting, directly or indirectly, for, on behalf of, or in conjunction with any Restricted Person and is not engaging in, instigating or facilitating this transaction for or on behalf of any Restricted Person; (c) such Party is not engaging in this transaction, directly or indirectly, in violation of any laws relating to drug trafficking, money laundering or predicate crimes to money laundering; and (d) none of the funds of such Party to be utilized in this transaction have been or will be derived from any unlawful activity with the result that such Party, its funds, or the Property is subject to potential seizure, forfeiture or other such remedy or that this Agreement or the transactions hereunder are or will be in violation of any applicable laws or regulations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither Seller nor Buyer is making any representation or warranty under this Section 4.3 regarding any public shareholders it may have unless any such individual shareholder holds greater than five percent (5%) of such Party’s publicly-held shares. The provisions of this Section will survive the Closing (in this sole instance, without regard to the limitations contained in Section 4.5) or any earlier termination of this Agreement.
Section 4.4. Inaccuracy Discovered Prior to Closing. Neither Party may rely on any of the representations or warranties made by one Party (the “Maker”) to the other Party (the “Recipient”) in this Agreement or in any Closing Document to the extent that such representations or warranties were, are, or have become inaccurate or incorrect in any material respects (whether one or more, the “Inaccuracy”) and the Recipient has, receives or obtains actual knowledge of the Inaccuracy prior to Closing. (If the Recipient first obtains actual knowledge of the Inaccuracy after Closing, Section 4.5 below will apply instead of this Section 4.4; and as to an Inaccuracy that relates only to a specific Site or Sites, such distinction will be measured from the date the Closing for such Site(s) occurred.) If either the Maker or the Recipient believes or determines prior to or at Closing that any Inaccuracy exists, then such Party will immediately give written notice to the other Party of the Inaccuracy. The Maker will have the right, but not the obligation, to elect to cure the Inaccuracy (or the causes thereof) within fifteen (15) Business Days of the Maker’s delivery or receipt of such notice (and if reasonably required, the Closing for the Site(s) directly affected by such Inaccuracy (if less than all Sites) will be extended by no more than thirty (30) days to allow for such cure and such Sites will be treated as Delayed Closing Sites). Regardless of whether such cure is attempted or effected by the Maker, the Recipient’s sole remedy with respect to an Inaccuracy that is actually known by the Recipient prior to Closing and is not timely cured by the Maker will be either (a) waive the Inaccuracy and proceed to Closing subject to the other provisions of this Agreement; or (b) if the anticipated losses to the Recipient as a direct result of the Inaccuracy, as mutually determined by Seller and Buyer in the exercise of their commercially reasonable business judgment (the “Anticipated Loss Amount”), is less than $50,000.00 for Inaccuracy affecting only one Site or an aggregate of $1,000,000 for multiple instances of Inaccuracy or Inaccuracy affecting multiple Sites (the “Pre-Closing Threshold Amounts”), then the Recipient shall be conclusively deemed to have elected to waive such Inaccuracy(ies) and all effects or consequences thereof, the Maker will have no liability whatsoever with respect to such Inaccuracy, and the Parties will proceed to Closing on such Site or Sites subject to the other provisions of this Agreement; or (c) if the Anticipated Loss Amount exceeds the Pre-Closing Threshold Amounts, the Recipient may (i) designate the Site(s) directly affected by such Inaccuracy (if less than all Sites) as Supplemental Excluded Sites, subject to Section 1.6 above, within five (5) Business Days following the end of the Maker’s fifteen (15) Business Day cure period (but in any event, prior to the Closing on any affected Site); or (ii) terminate this Agreement by giving the Maker written notice of the Recipient’s termination of this Agreement within five (5) Business Days following the end of the Maker’s fifteen (15) Business Day cure period (but in any event, prior to the Closing on any

affected Site); provided, however, that if (x) the total Anticipated Loss Amount under this Agreement is less than $10,000,000, and (y) the Maker elects (in the Maker’s sole and absolute discretion) to pay or credit to the Recipient an amount equivalent to the Anticipated Loss Amount, then the sole and exclusive remedy of the Recipient for all Inaccuracy will be to receive such Anticipated Loss Amount from the Maker at the Final Closing, and the Maker will have no other liability whatsoever with respect to such Inaccuracy. If the Recipient terminates this Agreement when so allowed pursuant to this Section 4.4, (A) Escrow Agent will return the Deposit to Buyer, regardless of whether Buyer is the Maker or the Recipient, and (B) neither Party will have any further rights or obligations under this Agreement except for Obligations Surviving Termination. If this Agreement is not terminated pursuant to this Section 4.4, then (subject to the receipt of such remedy as may be expressly provided for under this Section, if any) the Recipient shall be conclusively deemed to have elected to waive the Inaccuracy and all effects or consequences thereof, the Maker will have no liability whatsoever with respect to the Inaccuracy (other than as to such express remedy, if any), and the Parties will proceed to Closing on the affected Site or Sites subject to the other provisions of this Agreement. In furtherance of the foregoing, each Party agrees that the Maker will have no liability with respect to any representation or warranty to the extent that, prior to the Closing, the Recipient has, receives or obtains actual knowledge of an Inaccuracy (from whatever source, including without limitation from disclosure by or on behalf of the Maker) and the Recipient nevertheless proceeds to close the purchase or sale of the Property under this Agreement without availing itself of the termination or other remedy (if any) provided under this Section 4.4. The provisions of this Section will survive the Closing or any earlier termination of this Agreement.
Section 4.5. Survival of Representations and Warranties After Closing. Subject in all respects to Section 4.4, the representations and warranties made by each Party in this Agreement or any Closing Document will survive the Closing only until the date that is two hundred seventy (270) days following the date of Closing (the “Expiration Date”). As to representations and warranties that relate to a specific Site, the Expiration Date will be measured from the date the Closing for such Site occurred. Any Claims for, relating to or arising from an Inaccuracy discovered after Closing are limited in all respects to any actual damages the Recipient sustained from the Recipient’s reasonable reliance upon the representation or warranty prior to obtaining actual knowledge of the Inaccuracy. In no event will either Party be liable to the other Party for any consequential, indirect, special or punitive damages suffered by a Party as a result of any Inaccuracy. If an Inaccuracy is discovered after Closing and the Recipient desires to pursue any remedy against the Maker with respect to such Inaccuracy, then the Recipient must give the Maker a Claim Notice detailing the Inaccuracy upon or prior to the Expiration Date. Any Claims that a Recipient might otherwise have or have had against a Maker with respect to any Inaccuracy, whether such Inaccuracy or such Claims are known or unknown, will not be valid or effective if a Claim Notice detailing the Inaccuracy has not been given to the Maker on or prior to the Expiration Date. For the avoidance of doubt, following the Expiration Date, each Party shall be deemed to be fully discharged and released (without the need for separate releases or other documentation) from any liability or obligation to the other Party (and to its other Buyer Parties or Seller Parties, as applicable) with respect to any Inaccuracy, known or unknown, not detailed in a Claim Notice delivered to the other Party on or prior to the Expiration Date. Further, any Claims that either Party may have at any time against the other Party for any matter with respect to which a Claim Notice has been given to the other Party on or prior to the Expiration Date may be the subject of subsequent litigation brought by the claiming Party, but only if such litigation is commenced against and duly served upon the other Party on or prior to the date that is ninety (90) days following the Expiration Date (the “Claim Bar Date”). For the avoidance of doubt, following the Claim Bar Date, each Party shall be deemed to be fully discharged and released (without the need for separate releases or
33
Agreement of Purchase and Sale

other documentation) from any liability or obligation to the other Party (and to its other Buyer Parties or Seller Parties, as applicable) with respect to any Claim, known or unknown, except for any Claim for which both (a) a Claim Notice was given by the claiming Party to the other Party on or prior to the Expiration Date, and (b) litigation upon the Claim has been commenced by the claiming Party and duly served upon the other Party prior to or upon the Claim Bar Date. This Section (and Section 4.4 above) collectively provide the sole remedies of each Party with respect to any Inaccuracy and each Party expressly waives any other rights or remedies such Party might otherwise have at law or in equity with respect to any Inaccuracy in any representation or warranty of the other Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Expiration Date for any JV Interest Representations will be the date that is two (2) years following the date of Closing as to the JV Interest except that the Expiration Date for any representations under Sections 4.1(p)(4) or 4.1(p)(5) will be the date that is 90 days after the expiration of the respective statute(s) of limitations applicable to the matters represented therein. The provisions of this Section will survive the Closing or any earlier termination of this Agreement.

CLOSING, DELIVERIES AND PRORATIONS
CLOSING, DELIVERIES AND PRORATIONS
Section 5.1. Closing. Subject to the express terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Closing and the delivery of all items to be delivered by the Parties at the Closing will be performed through an escrow closing conducted by Escrow Agent on the Closing Date. Except as may otherwise be expressly provided in this Agreement, the Closing Date may not be accelerated or extended without the prior written approval of both Seller and Buyer. The term “Delayed Closing Site” means a Site that has been properly designated as such for specified reasons under certain provisions of this Agreement providing for such designation, including without limitation as provided in Sections 1.4, 1,5, 1.9, 2.2, 2.3, 4.4, and 5.2. Unless a different time for Closing is expressly specified for the subject Site under the provisions of this Agreement providing for such Site’s designation as a Delayed Closing Site, the Closing Date for a Site designated as a Delayed Closing Site will be thirty (30) days after the initial Closing Date under this Agreement. The Parties will reasonably cooperate to “group” Delayed Closing Sites in an attempt to close multiple Delayed Closing Sites together on a single date, to the extent such a result can reasonably be accomplished without material additional effort or expense to either Party (it being the intention of the Parties that grouping such delayed closings will be pursued to the extent they can be performed by the Parties in a more efficient manner than multiple individual delayed closings). To ensure appropriate security is provided for Buyer’s obligations to close on the Delayed Closing Sites, all of the Deposit will be held in escrow until the Final Closing of the last Delayed Closing Site; provided, that if following any earlier Closing the total Deposit so held would exceed fifty percent (50%) of the aggregate of the Allocated Purchase Price amounts for all Delayed Closing Sites that will remain un-closed following such Closing, such excess of the Deposit over fifty percent (50%) of the aggregate remaining Purchase Price will be applied to the Purchase Price at such prior Closing, with the balance being held for application at the Final Closing.
Section 5.2. Estoppel Certificate. Seller will request from each Tenant, and use commercially reasonably efforts to obtain and provide to Buyer at least five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing Date for the respective Site, an estoppel certificate (each, an “Estoppel Certificate” and collectively, the “Estoppel Certificates”).
(a) If a form of estoppel certificate is attached to or otherwise specified by a Lease or if it is the policy of a Tenant that a particular form of estoppel certificate be used, and such form is
34
Agreement of Purchase and Sale
Coyote Portfolio
consistent with the requirements of such Tenant’s Lease, that form shall be deemed acceptable to Buyer for that Lease. Seller will request that all Estoppel Certificates be addressed to “Realty Income Corporation, a Maryland corporation, together with its subsidiaries, affiliates, successors and assigns,” but the failure of a Tenant to so address the Estoppel Certificate shall not render such Estoppel Certificate unacceptable.
(b) An Estoppel Certificate shall be deemed acceptable to Buyer unless (i) it is dated prior to the Effective Date, (ii) it contains any information or statements that are both materially inconsistent with the information set forth in the related Lease and materially adverse to Buyer, or (iii) it alleges any monetary default or any material non-monetary default by the Landlord (or facts or circumstances that could give rise to such a default, in each case unless such facts or circumstances alleging any monetary default or material non-monetary default by the Landlord are remedied by Seller to the applicable Tenant’s satisfaction prior to Closing); provided, however, that neither exception (ii) nor (iii) will apply (and thus Buyer will have not have that basis to reject the subject Estoppel Certificate) if the adverse information or statements therein or the facts underlying such information or statements were actually known to Buyer prior to the expiration of the Diligence Period, including without limitation by inclusion in the exceptions to Seller’s representations and warranties set forth in Schedule C.
(c) An Estoppel Certificate shall be deemed approved in the form received from a Tenant if Buyer has not given specific written objections thereto to Seller, identifying such objections and the customary and commercially reasonable changes requested by Buyer for such Estoppel Certificate, prior to the earlier of (i) five (5) Business Days after receipt by Buyer, or (ii) the Closing Date for the related Site. If Buyer so objects to the form of any Estoppel Certificate received from a Tenant, or a Tenant fails to timely return an Estoppel Certificate as may be required by such Tenant’s lease, and Buyer timely requests in writing that Seller continue to attempt to procure such Estoppel Certificate, Seller will have the right to cure or attempt to cure the objectionable matters set forth in such Estoppel Certificate and/or seek to have the applicable Tenant revise such Estoppel Certificate to address Buyer’s requested changes, or to obtain an initial Estoppel Certificate, as applicable, and Seller may extend the Closing Date for such Site up to thirty (30) days (by written notice of extension delivered to Buyer and Escrow Agent) for the purpose of effecting such cure and/or obtaining the desired Estoppel Certificate (in which event such Site will be treated as a Delayed Closing Site). If Seller does not so extend the Closing or if Seller so extends the Closing but such cure is not completed and/or the desired Estoppel Certificate from such Tenant has not been obtained and provided to Buyer at least three (3) Business Days prior to the revised (if applicable) Closing Date, Buyer will have the option, as its sole and exclusive remedy, to either (x) if no Estoppel Certificate is received at all or if the last version received contains information or statements that would render the Estoppel Certificate unacceptable under Section 5.2(b), then subject to Seller’s rights under Section 5.2(d) below, Buyer may designate such Site as a Supplemental Excluded Site by written notice delivered to Seller and Escrow Agent prior to such Closing Date, subject to the provisions and limitations of Section 1.6 above concerning such Sites; or (y) proceed to Closing on such Site as scheduled without receiving the desired Estoppel Certificate.
(d) Buyer’s receipt of Estoppel Certificates as provided above in this Section (whether or not in acceptable form) for at least eighty percent (80%) of the total number of Leases involved in this sale (the “Estoppel Threshold”) is a condition precedent to Buyer’s obligation to close escrow under this Agreement for any Sites. For clarity, the determination of the Estoppel Threshold applicable at any time will exclude any Excluded Sites, as of such time, and with respect to the
35
Agreement of Purchase and Sale
Coyote Portfolio
Initial Closing and any subsequent Closing will exclude any Delayed Closing Sites that are not included in such Closing. Any inability of Seller to obtain an acceptable Estoppel Certificate from any Tenant or Tenants shall not be deemed a breach or default by Seller under this Agreement. If Seller is unable to timely obtain an Estoppel Certificate for any specific Site (but has satisfied the applicable Estoppel Threshold), Seller may, in Seller’s sole discretion, provide a “seller estoppel” certificate to Buyer for such Site in substantially the form of Exhibit G to this Agreement (a “Seller Estoppel”), and Buyer will accept such Seller Estoppel for purposes of satisfying the estoppel delivery requirement as to such Site. If Seller provides a Seller Estoppel, Seller’s statements in such Seller Estoppel will survive the Closing as representations and warranties of Seller, consistent with (but subject to) the provisions of Section 4.5 above; provided, that a Seller Estoppel will automatically expire sooner if and to the extent (but only to the extent) that the statements contained therein are later confirmed by a tenant estoppel certificate delivered by the Tenant under the Lease that was the subject of the Seller Estoppel. For purposes of clarity, with respect to any Site, it is a condition precedent to Buyer’s obligation to close escrow under this Agreement for such Site, that Buyer receives either (i) an Estoppel Certificate, or (ii) a Seller Estoppel for such Site that satisfies the requirements of this Section 5.2(d).
Section 5.3. Closing Documents.
(a) On or before the applicable Closing Date for a Site, Seller will deposit the following into escrow with respect to such Site (as applicable), with all documents having been duly executed and, if to be recorded, acknowledged by Seller:
(i) a Special Warranty Deed (or the state-specific counterpart thereof) in the form attached to this Agreement as Exhibit B (the “Deed”);
(ii) an Assignment and Assumption of Lease in the form attached to this Agreement as Exhibit C (the “Assignment of Lease”); provided that, to the extent the related Lease (or a memorandum thereof) has previously been placed of record, except as to the JV Sites and provided that Buyer prepares and delivers such document to Seller for execution not later than ten (10) days prior to the applicable Closing Date, such Assignment of Lease shall be in recordable form;
(iii) a Xxxx of Sale and Assignment of Intangible Property in the form attached to this Agreement as Exhibit D (the “General Assignment”);
(iv) if applicable, an Assignment and Assumption of Contracts in the form attached to this Agreement as Exhibit E (the “Assignment of Contracts”);
(v) such disclosures and reports (including tax reporting and withholding certificates) as are required of Seller by applicable state and local law in connection with the conveyance of the applicable Site;
(vi) a notice to be given to the Tenant stating that the Site has been sold to Buyer and that, after the Closing, all rents should be paid to or as directed by Buyer;
(vii) a confirmation pursuant to Section 1445(b)(2) of the Code that Seller is not a “foreign person” within the meaning of Section 1445(f)(3) of the Code, also sometimes referred to as a “FIRPTA” certification or affidavit, on Seller’s customary form;
36
Agreement of Purchase and Sale
Coyote Portfolio
(viii) Seller’s “Owner’s Certification” as contemplated by Section 2.2(e) in the form attached to this Agreement as Exhibit A;
(ix) a closing statement as provided in Section 5.4(f) below; and
(x) such other documents as may be specifically required under this Agreement, and such other customary documents as are necessary and appropriate to effect the Closing and are reasonably acceptable to Seller.
(b) On or before the applicable Closing Date for a Site, Buyer will deposit the following into escrow with respect to such Site (as applicable), with all documents having been duly executed and, if to be recorded, acknowledged by Buyer:
(i) the Allocated Purchase Price, as adjusted and reflected in the closing settlement statement agreed upon by Buyer and Seller;
(ii) counterparts of the Assignment of Lease, the General Assignment, and the Assignment of Contracts (if any);
(iii) such disclosures and reports (including tax reporting and withholding certificates) as are required of Buyer by applicable state and local law in connection with the conveyance of the applicable Site;
(iv) a counterpart of the closing statement as provided in Section 5.4(f) below; and
(v) such other documents as may be specifically required under this Agreement, and such other customary documents as are necessary and appropriate to effect the Closing and are reasonably acceptable to Buyer.
(c) The Parties agree that the form documents attached as exhibits to this Agreement are acceptable to accomplish the conveyances contemplated by this Agreement. The acceptance by Buyer of a Deed to a Site at the Closing of such Site shall be deemed to be a full performance and discharge of every obligation on the part of Seller to be performed under this Agreement with respect to such Site, other than Seller’s Express Agreements that are specifically stated in this Agreement to survive the Closing. The Parties may agree, each in their reasonable discretion, to utilize “blanket” documents applicable to multiple Sites for certain of the Closing Documents other than the Deeds.
(d) The Parties acknowledge and agree that the Closing Documents for the JV Interest will be as set forth in Section 5.9 below, and certain additional documents (such as a loan assignment and assumption agreement) may be required for the Closing of a Site that has received a Loan Assumption Approval.

Section 5.4. Prorations. Items of income and expense relating to the Property will be adjusted between Seller and Buyer for each Site, on a Site-by-Site basis, for each Closing as provided below. Closing Date prorations will be made as of 12:01 A.M. local time on the day of the subject Closing as if Buyer was the owner of the Site for the entire Closing Date.
(a) Base rents, and any estimate or impound payments for common area maintenance charges, insurance, or other expenses related to the Site paid by the Tenant to Seller under the Lease (collectively, “Rents”) for the month of Closing will be prorated as of the Closing Date.
(b) Real Estate Taxes for a Site that first become delinquent (and thus are customarily paid) in the calendar year in which Closing occurs will be addressed by the Parties at Closing as follows: (i) if such Real Estate Taxes are paid directly to the taxing authority(ies) by Tenant, then such Real Estate Taxes will not be prorated or adjusted between the Parties; (ii) if such Real Estate Taxes are paid to the taxing authority(ies) by the landlord under the Lease but are collected by the landlord from (or reimbursed to the landlord by) Tenant in lump sums that correlate directly to the payment amounts, then such Real Estate Taxes will not be prorated or adjusted between the Parties, but rather the Party that pays an installment of Real Estate Taxes in the calendar year of Closing will be entitled to receive and retain the payment from Tenant that corresponds to the installment of Real Estate Taxes so paid by such Party; or (iii) if such Real Estate Taxes are paid by Tenant through monthly tax impound payments collected by the landlord, then all such tax impound payment amounts that have been received by Seller from Tenant for such Site with respect to the calendar year of Closing (“Tax Amounts Received”) will be reconciled against any Real Estate Taxes paid to the taxing authority(ies) in the calendar year of Closing for such Site by Seller (“Taxes Paid”); and as may be applicable, either (x) if Tax Amounts Received exceed Taxes Paid, the excess will be credited by Seller to Buyer at the Closing of such Site, or (y) if Tax Amounts Received are less than Taxes Paid, the shortfall will be paid by Buyer to Seller at such Closing (and Buyer will receive and retain all tax impound amounts paid by Tenant from and after such Closing).
(c) All other items of expense for each Site, including but not limited to any utility charges, maintenance charges, and charges under any Permitted Exceptions, will be prorated as of the applicable Closing Date (excluding any such items that, under the Lease, are paid or payable directly by Tenant to parties other than Seller). For all utilities (if any) that are in the name of Seller, Buyer and Seller will cooperate to arrange for final utility readings as close to the Closing Date as possible and the issuance of a final xxxx to Seller, with Buyer being designated the billing party in lieu of Seller from and after the Closing Date. Seller will be entitled to receive and retain any deposits of Seller held by utility companies with respect to any Site. If Seller, as Landlord, is collecting from the Tenant of a Site payments of additional rent (“OpEx Impound Payments”) to cover, insurance, utilities, maintenance and other operating costs and expenses (collectively, “Operating Expenses”) incurred by Landlord in connection with the ownership, operation, maintenance and management of such Site, then such OpEx Impound Payments received by Seller during Seller’s period of ownership in the Closing Year (“Impound Payments Received”) will be reconciled against the actual amounts accrued or expended by Seller for Operating Expenses during such period (“Impound Expenses Paid”); and as may be applicable, either (i) if Impound Payments Received exceed Impound Expenses Paid, the excess will be credited by Seller to Buyer at the Closing of such Site, or (ii) if Impound Payments Received are less than Impound Expenses Paid, the shortfall will be paid by Buyer to Seller at such Closing (and Buyer will receive and retain all OpEx Impound Payments paid by such Tenant for such Site from and after such Closing.

(d) If for any reason sufficient information is not available for a Site at Closing to allow Seller to provide the proration amounts contemplated in Sections 5.4(b) or (c) above, Seller will provide appropriate reconciliations (and reasonable supporting information) to Buyer within six (6) months after the Closing of such Site; and unless Buyer reasonably objects thereto within (30) days of their receipt, thereupon Seller will pay to Buyer any amounts due Buyer, and Buyer will pay to Seller any amounts due Seller, as may be indicated by such supplemental reconciliations (net of any amounts that may have been estimated or determined by Seller and Buyer and paid or credited for such purposes at the applicable Closing between such Parties). Unless expressly otherwise agreed by the Parties, the reconciliation credits or payments made between Buyer and Seller as provided in Sections 5.4 (b), (c) and (d) will be final as between the Parties. As between Buyer and the Tenant of a Site, following the end of the calendar year in which the applicable Closing occurs, Buyer will be responsible for preparing and providing any final full-year reconciliations of Real Estate Taxes and other expense amounts that may be required to be provided to any Tenant pursuant to its Lease and for settling any adjustments required with each such Tenant as a result of such reconciliations (provided, that Buyer may utilize the reconciliations and supporting information received from Seller for such purpose).
(e) If any Tenant pays percentage rent under its Lease, Buyer will remit to Seller, within thirty (30) days of receipt from such Tenant, Seller’s proportionate share of any percentage rental paid by such Tenant under its Lease with respect to the “lease year” or other applicable fiscal period under such Lease to which such percentage rent applies and the Closing occurs (such applicable fiscal period being the “Payment Period”), which proportionate share due to Seller will be determined based on the number of days (excluding the Closing Date) Seller owned the related Site during such Payment Period compared to the number of days (including the Closing Date) Buyer owned the related Site during such Payment Period.
(f) Seller will supply the relevant information to Buyer not later than five (5) Business Days prior to each Closing for, and the Parties will cooperate in the calculation, review and finalization of, the adjustments and prorations contemplated by this Section for such Closing. The Allocated Purchase Price amounts, prorations, closing costs, and any other credits and adjustments will be reflected on a closing settlement statement prepared by Escrow Agent and executed by Buyer and Seller for the applicable Closing on an aggregate basis and, if desired by either Party, with Site-specific information included therewith. If a net amount is owed by Seller to Buyer at a Closing for the adjustments and prorations contemplated by this Section for such Closing, such amount will be credited against the Purchase Price being paid at such Closing. If a net amount is owed by Buyer to Seller at a Closing for the adjustments and prorations contemplated by this Section for such Closing, such amount will be paid to Seller together with the Purchase Price at such Closing.
(g) Unless a payment of Rents is otherwise expressly captioned or directed by the paying Tenant, any Rents received by either Party from a Tenant following the Closing on such Tenant’s Site will be applied (i) first, between the Parties, to any Rents due from such Tenant for the month of such Closing, (ii) next, to Buyer, to any delinquent Rents then due from such Tenant for periods following the month of such Closing, and (iii) finally, to Seller, to any delinquent Rents due from such Tenant for periods prior to the month of such Closing, in each case in inverse order of maturity. From and after each Closing, Buyer will use commercially reasonable efforts on Seller’s behalf to collect and remit to Seller any delinquent Rents owed to Seller from a Tenant, provided that Buyer will have no obligation to institute any litigation against or evict any Tenant in connection with such efforts. Seller may also use commercially reasonable efforts to collect any delinquent
39
Agreement of Purchase and Sale
Coyote Portfolio
Rents owed to Seller by a Tenant, provided that Seller may not institute any litigation against any Tenant in connection with such efforts. If after a Closing either Party receives any Rents or other amounts that properly belong to the other Party based upon the Closing prorations or the provisions of this Section 5.4, such amounts will be promptly remitted by the receiving Party to such other Party.
(h) If there are any items, matters, payments, or other obligations owed to Seller by a Tenant (other than delinquent Rents as addressed in Section 5.4(g) above) or third party that would not customarily be conveyed by a seller to a buyer in a sale transaction of this nature (“Excluded Seller Receivable Items”), such Excluded Seller Receivable Items will be retained by Seller and not conveyed (either in whole or in part) to Buyer together with the related Site pursuant to this Agreement. Any such Excluded Seller Receivable Items that are known by Seller as of the Effective Date will be set forth on Schedule D attached to this Agreement. The inadvertent exclusion of any matter that should properly have been listed on Schedule D, particularly any such matter of which the Parties do not have actual knowledge when this Agreement is executed, shall not be deemed dispositive that such matter was not intended to be treated as an Excluded Seller Receivable Item.
(i) The provisions of this Section 5.4 that by their terms are to occur after a Closing will survive the Closing.
Section 5.5. Security Deposits. Seller will pay to Buyer at Closing, as a credit against the Purchase Price, the amount of any cash security deposits then held by Seller pursuant to the Leases for the Sites that are the subject of such Closing.
Section 5.6. Closing Costs. At each Closing, with respect to the Sites that are the subject of such Closing, Seller will pay (a) to the extent Seller is responsible for such costs for Sites located in the respective state pursuant to Schedule 5.6 attached to this Agreement, the insurance premium amount for a standard coverage owner’s policy of title insurance in the amount of the Allocated Purchase Price for such Site; (b) the costs of releasing any financing liens or other encumbrances that are required by this Agreement to be released by Seller and of recording such releases, except for any Loan Prepayment Costs (other than, but only if applicable, the one-half share of Loan Prepayments Costs payable by Seller if Seller elects to require a Prepayment pursuant to Section 1.9(f)(i) of this Agreement); (c) one-half of the fees and costs due Escrow Agent for its sale escrow services under this Agreement; (d) to the extent Seller is responsible for such costs for Sites located in the respective state pursuant to Schedule 5.6 attached to this Agreement, any state, county or local documentary, franchise or transfer taxes assessed on the conveyance by Seller to Buyer of the respective Site based the amount of the Allocated Purchase Price for such Site; (e) one-half of any Loan Assumption Fees applicable to any Loans being assumed as a part of the Closing, as provided in Section 1.9 above; (f) to the extent Seller is responsible for such costs for Sites located in the respective state pursuant to Schedule 5.6 attached to this Agreement, the cost of recording the Deeds; and (g) all other costs this Agreement expressly requires Seller to pay. At each Closing, with respect to the Sites that are the subject of such Closing, Buyer will pay (i) all title insurance costs and charges (other than the standard coverage insurance premium amounts paid by Seller as provided in subsection (a) above), including any costs for extended coverage, title endorsements, lender policies or other coverage requested by Buyer; (ii) the cost of any new or updated Survey obtained by Buyer; (iii) the cost of recording the Deeds and any other Closing Documents other than the amounts payable by Seller pursuant to Section 5.6(f) above; (iv) one-half of the fees and costs due Escrow Agent for its sale escrow services under this Agreement; (v) any state, county or local documentary, franchise or transfer taxes other than the amounts payable

by Seller pursuant to Section 5.6(d) above; (vi) any then-unpaid Loan Assumption Costs and all Loan Prepayment Costs applicable to any Loans being prepaid as a part of the Closing, as provided in Section 1.9 above (other than any amount of Loan Prepayment Costs being paid by Seller pursuant to Section 5.6(b) above, if applicable); (vii) one-half of any Loan Assumption Fees applicable to any Loans being assumed as a part of the Closing, as provided in Section 1.9 above; and (viii) all other costs this Agreement expressly requires Buyer to pay. Except as otherwise expressly provided for in this Agreement, Seller and Buyer will each be solely responsible for and bear all of their own respective transaction costs and expenses, including without limitation all expenses of legal counsel, accountants, and other advisors and consultants incurred at any time in connection with pursuing or consummating the transaction contemplated by this Agreement. Any other closing costs and charges not specifically designated as the responsibility of either Party in this Agreement will be paid by the Parties with respect to each Site according to the usual and customary allocation/apportionment of such costs by Escrow Agent in the jurisdiction in which such Site is located. Buyer and Seller agree that there is little or no Personal Property included within the Property and no portion of the Purchase Price for any Site will be allocated or attributable to Personal Property.
Section 5.7. Brokers. The Parties acknowledge the involvement in this transaction of (a) the “Seller’s Broker” named as such in the Summary of Terms (“Seller’s Broker”), whose commission if Closing occurs will be the responsibility of Seller pursuant to a separate agreement between Seller’s Broker and Seller. Except for Seller’s Broker, Buyer and Seller each state and confirm to the other that no broker, finder or comparable Person was utilized in arranging or bringing about this transaction and that there are no claims or rights for brokerage fees, commissions, finders’ fees, or comparable fees or compensation due to any other Person in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. If any other Person asserts a claim for a commission, fee or other compensation based upon any contact, dealings or communication with Buyer or Seller, then the Party through whom such Person makes its claim will indemnify, defend and hold harmless the other Party from such claim and any and all costs, damages, liabilities or expenses (including without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) incurred by the other Party in connection with such claim. This Section 5.7 is intended only to set forth the agreements of the Parties and in no event shall Seller’s Broker be deemed to be a third-party beneficiary of, or have any rights or obligations under, this Agreement. The provisions of this Section will survive the Closing or any earlier termination of this Agreement.
Section 5.8. Bulk Sales Laws. The Parties acknowledge their belief that so-called “bulk sales laws” or similar Laws should generally not be applicable to the transactions contemplated under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if (a) any such “bulk sales laws” or similar Laws are determined by a Governmental Authority to be applicable to the purchase and sale of any Sites that are subject to the jurisdiction of such Governmental Authority, and (b) any taxes or penalties are assessed against or imposed upon Buyer by such Governmental Authority as a result of such Governmental Authority’s final determination that the Parties failed to comply with such applicable “bulk sales laws” or similar Laws, then Seller will, within thirty (30) days of receiving a demand therefor from Buyer accompanied by reasonable supporting documentation, indemnify and hold harmless Buyer from and against the assessment or imposition of such taxes or penalties upon Buyer. The provisions of this Section will survive the Closing.
Section 5.9. JV Interest.
41
Agreement of Purchase and Sale
Coyote Portfolio
(a) If required by Buyer, Buyer may obtain, at Buyer’s sole cost and expense prior to acquiring the JV Interest, such UCC, judgment, lien, litigation or bankruptcy searches or other customary investigations as Buyer may desire with respect to the JV Company and the JV Subsidiaries. If any matters are revealed by such searches or other diligence activities of Buyer that would either (x) preclude a commercially reasonable buyer from acquiring the JV Interest or (y) render the representations and warranties contained in Section 4.1(p) inaccurate in any respect that would preclude a commercially reasonable buyer from acquiring the JV Interest, Buyer will promptly so advise Seller. Promptly thereafter, unless Buyer otherwise agrees in Buyer’s sole discretion, Seller will, in Seller’s sole discretion, either (i) cure or remove any such matters; (ii) take such steps as may be required to allow the conveyance of the JV Sites to Buyer without Buyer having to acquire the JV Interest (and Buyer agrees to reasonably cooperate with Seller to effect such transactions, at no material out-of-pocket expense to Buyer), in which event such Sites may be designated as Delayed Closing Sites by Seller; or (iii) exclude the JV Interest from the Property being purchased and sold under this Agreement in the same manner as if the JV Interest were designated as a Supplemental Excluded Site pursuant to Section 1.6 above.
(b) The conveyance of the JV Interest will be accomplished by the JV Selling Entity conveying the JV Interest to Buyer pursuant to, as applicable, an Instrument of Assignment and Transfer of Membership Interests in substantially the form attached as Exhibit H to this Agreement (a “Membership Interest Assignment”). Accordingly, the JV Sites will not be deeded to Buyer, and the other Closing Documents relating to such Site will be limited or revised accordingly. Closing prorations for the JV Interest will address the economic distributions related to the JV Interest rather than the actual income and expense of the underlying JV Sites. Seller will retain or close all existing bank accounts maintained by Seller for the JV Company and the JV Subsidiaries and as a general rule no cash or other “pre-Closing” assets of the JV Companies, nor the JV Subsidiaries, will be transferred or conveyed to Buyer if the same would not have been transferred or conveyed if Buyer was acquiring only the applicable JV Site. The provisions of this Agreement which, by their terms, are not directly applicable (or are only applicable on a limited basis) to the JV Interest or the JV Sites will be construed according to the foregoing general provisions, and the Parties agree to reasonably cooperate to provide an appropriate closing mechanism and process for the purchase of the JV Interest at the related Closing.
(c) If a third-party liability claim is at Closing ongoing against, or is asserted after Closing against, the JV Company or any JV Subsidiary, with respect to an injury, event or other “occurrence” that occurred prior to Closing and continues to be covered after Closing by the commercial general liability insurance that was maintained by Seller or its Affiliates on behalf of such JV Company or JV Subsidiary, as applicable, prior to Closing, Seller will have the right to elect to manage, adjust and settle such claim to the extent any payment is reasonably anticipated by Seller to be made pursuant to such insurance notwithstanding the acquisition of the JV Interest by Buyer, provided that any final settlement of such claim will be subject to Buyer’s prior written consent, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

Section 6.1. Default by Seller. If Seller fails to perform any obligation of Seller under this Agreement prior to or at any Closing and does not cure such failure (a) within five (5) Business Days after receipt of written notice from Buyer asserting such failure, if Seller fails to timely deliver Closing Documents or authorize Closing if and when required of Seller for Closing to occur under this Agreement, or (b) within fifteen (15) Business Days after receipt of written notice from Buyer asserting such failure, if Seller fails to perform any other obligation of Seller (any such failure, if not cured within such period, being a “Seller Default”), then Buyer will elect by giving written notice to Seller and Escrow Agent within thirty (30) days after the occurrence of such Seller Default, as Buyer’s sole and exclusive remedy against Seller, either to (i) terminate this Agreement, in which event Buyer shall receive a return of the Deposit, Seller shall reimburse Buyer for the actual, reasonable out-of-pocket third-party costs, not to exceed $5,500,000 in the aggregate, incurred by Buyer in performing due diligence for the transaction contemplated by this Agreement, and except for Obligations Surviving Termination, neither of the Parties will have any further liability or obligation under this Agreement, or (ii) to bring a suit for specific performance against Seller to compel Seller to convey the Property to Buyer as required under this Agreement; provided, however that as a condition precedent to Buyer’s pursuit of any action for specific performance, Buyer (x) must have fully and timely performed all of Buyer’s obligations and made all deliveries (other than the delivery of the balance of the Purchase Price) required to be performed or delivered on or before the Closing Date, (y) must maintain the full Deposit in escrow until and during the pendency of such action, and (z) must demonstrate to the court Buyer’s ability to fund on the Closing Date (and upon any subsequent award of specific performance of such conveyance) the full amount of the Purchase Price. Buyer shall be deemed to have elected to terminate this Agreement (as provided in Section 6.1(i) above) if Buyer does not deliver to Seller written notice of Buyer’s intent to file a cause of action for specific performance against Seller on or before thirty (30) days after such Seller Default, or having timely given Seller such notice, fails to file and serve Seller with a lawsuit asserting such cause of action within sixty (60) days after such notice. Unless otherwise expressly stated in this Agreement, Buyer specifically waives all other rights and remedies, including, without limitation, the right to damages other than the reimbursement of costs as expressly set forth in clause (i) above; provided, that if Seller in bad faith conveys the Property after the Effective Date to a third party in breach of this Agreement so as to frustrate the availability of the remedy of specific performance, then Buyer shall have the right to pursue a claim against Seller for actual damages caused to Buyer by such intentional breach of Seller, subject to the Maximum Amount set forth in Section 6.3(b).
Section 6.2. Default by Buyer. If Buyer fails to perform any obligation of Buyer under this Agreement prior to or at any Closing and does not cure such failure (a) within (i) two (2) Business Days after receipt of written notice from Seller asserting such failure, if Buyer fails to timely pay or deposit any amount of money required to be paid or deposited by Buyer under this Agreement, or (ii) five (5) Business Days after receipt of written notice from Seller asserting such failure, if fails to timely deliver Closing Documents or authorize Closing if and when required of Buyer for Closing to occur under this Agreement, or (b) within fifteen (15) Business Days after receipt of written notice from Seller asserting any such failure, if Buyer fails to perform any other obligation of Buyer (any such failure, if not cured within such period, being a “Buyer Default”), then Seller will be entitled, as Seller’s sole and exclusive remedy against Buyer, to terminate this Agreement and receive the Deposit as Seller’s agreed and total liquidated damages by giving written notice of termination to Buyer and Escrow Agent within thirty (30) days after the occurrence of such Buyer Default. The Parties have agreed that Seller’s actual damages in the event of a Buyer Default would be extremely difficult or impracticable to determine. The Parties have therefore agreed that, considering all the facts and circumstances existing as of the Effective Date, the amount of the Deposit is a reasonable
43
Agreement of Purchase and Sale
Coyote Portfolio
estimate of the damages that Seller would incur in the event of a Buyer Default. Each Party specifically confirms the accuracy of the statements made above and the fact that each Party was represented by counsel who explained, at the time this Agreement was made, the consequences of this liquidated damages provision.
Section 6.3. Limitations on Liability.
(a) Unless otherwise expressly stated in this Agreement (including with respect to Section 6.3(b) below), the provisions of Sections 6.1 and 6.2 above provide each Party’s sole remedies for any failure by the other Party to perform its respective obligations under this Agreement prior to or at the Final Closing, but will not limit any rights or remedies that either Party may have for a breach or default by the other Party after Closing with respect to those provisions of this Agreement, or those provisions of the Closing Documents, that are expressly stated to survive Closing. However, in no event will either Party be liable to the other Party for any consequential, indirect, special or punitive damages suffered by a Party as a result of any failure, breach or default, either before or after Closing, by the other Party under this Agreement or any of the Closing Documents, and each Party expressly waives any right to recover any consequential, indirect, special or punitive damages caused to such Party by the other Party.
(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement or any of the Closing Documents, if Closing occurs, then from and after Closing, as to all Closed Sites (i) Seller will have no liability whatsoever with respect to any Claims suffered or incurred by, asserted or assessed against, or imposed upon Buyer or any Buyer Party under or with respect to this Agreement, the Property, or any Closing Document, except to the extent (and only to the extent) that such Claims exceed $50,000.00 (the “Threshold Amount”); and (ii) in no event will the total aggregate liability of Seller and any Seller Parties for any or all Claims with respect to the entirety of the Property and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Closing Documents exceed $50,000,000.00 (the “Maximum Amount”). Buyer shall not make any Claims or deliver any Claim Notice unless Buyer in good faith believes the Claims would exceed the Threshold Amount, and Buyer shall not seek or receive for such Claims any remedies or awards that individually or in the aggregate would exceed the Maximum Amount. The provisions of this Section 6.3(b) exclude any Claims by Buyer related to any express post-Closing obligations of Seller under Sections 5.4, 5.6. 5.7, or 5.8 of this Agreement, or any Claims by Buyer for any breach by Seller of any of the JV Interest Representations (as defined in Section 4.1(p) of this Agreement), for which Seller’s liability will not be limited by the Threshold Amount or the Maximum Amount.
Section 6.4. CIM REIT Credit Support. CIM Real Estate Finance Trust, Inc., a Maryland corporation (“CIM REIT”), joins this Agreement for the sole purpose of providing credit support for certain obligations of Seller as, and only to the extent, expressly set forth in this Section. CIM REIT agrees that if Seller generally, or any one or more Selling Entities, are obligated to make a payment to Buyer for a Claim asserted by Buyer (a) under Section 4.5 of this Agreement, (b) under Section 6.1 of this Agreement, or (c) pursuant to any other provision of this Agreement, or provision of the Closing Documents, that is expressly stated to survive Closing, and Seller or any such Selling Entity fails to pay Buyer the amount determined to be such Person’s obligation to Buyer with respect to such Claim within thirty (30) days after the final determination of such Person’s responsibility for such Claim (such amount being a “Section 6.4 Claim Amount”), then within ten (10) Business Days of receiving a written demand for the payment of such Section 6.4 Claim Amount from Buyer (which demand must be given by Buyer to CIM REIT in care of Seller at the notice addresses specified for Seller in this Agreement), CIM REIT will cause such Person’s obligation with respect
44
Agreement of Purchase and Sale
Coyote Portfolio
to such Section 6.4 Claim Amount under the Agreement to be satisfied by paying or causing to be paid such Section 6.4 Claim Amount to Buyer; provided, however, that the aggregate liability of CIM REIT for all Claims under this Section 6.4 shall not in any event exceed the Maximum Amount, unless the Maximum Amount is not applicable to such Claims as expressly provided in the last sentence of Section 6.3(b) of this Agreement. CIM REIT’s obligations under this Section 6.4 as to any Claim will expire on the date that is the latest to occur of (a) the Expiration Date applicable to such Claim, (b) if any Claim is properly asserted by Buyer against Seller prior to the Expiration Date, the Claim Bar Date applicable to such Claim, or (c) if any action is properly filed by Buyer and duly served upon Seller prior to the Claim Bar Date applicable to such Claim, final resolution of the action applicable to such Claim. CIM REIT confirms that each Seller Entity is an indirect subsidiary of CIM REIT, that CIM REIT expects to realize a material benefit from the Closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and that accordingly CIM REIT will derive sufficient consideration from such transactions to support CIM REIT’s obligations under this Section 6.4.
Section 6.5. Authority of Advisor. Each Selling Entity is either a “manager-managed” Delaware limited liability company (“LLC”) or a Delaware limited partnership (“LP”) which has an LLC as its sole general partner (“GP”). CIM Real Estate Finance Management, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Advisor”) is the “manager” of each Selling Entity that is an LLC and of each GP. By executing this Agreement below, each Selling Entity acknowledges and agrees that Advisor, either in its own name or by and through any officer, manager or agent thereof (each, an “Advisor Authorized Person”), shall be and hereby is authorized, empowered and directed in all respects to (a) make, give, enter into, or execute any consents, approvals, designations, notices, or other decisions or agreements by, for and on behalf of Seller and any of the Selling Entities that are contemplated by, related to or in furtherance of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (b) to receive and accept any notices, service of process, consents, approvals, designations, notices, or other decisions or agreements made, given, entered into, or executed by, for and on behalf of Buyer that are contemplated by, related to or in furtherance of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and (c) to take any other lawful actions as contemplated by, related to or in furtherance of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement by, for and on behalf of Seller and any of the Selling Entities. Without limiting the foregoing, Seller and each Selling Entity agree that (i) any notice relating to Seller generally or any particular Selling Entity properly given by Buyer pursuant to the notice provisions of this Agreement will be effective as notice to Seller and each such Selling Entity affected by such notice, and (ii) Advisor will accept any notice of default, Claim Notice, service of process, or other such official notice for and on behalf of Seller and each Selling Entity affected by such notice at the notice address specified for Seller in this Agreement, without any need for Buyer to serve or deliver notice or process in any other manner or to any other location. Buyer agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to identify which Sites or Selling Entities are affected by any such notice or service, to the extent relating to less than all Sites or Selling Entities, but any failure by Buyer to do so accurately or at all will not limit or invalidate any such notice or service.
Section 6.6. Survival. The terms, provisions and limitations of this Article 6 will survive Closing or any earlier termination of this Agreement.

Section 7.2. Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with the Exhibits and Schedules hereto, contains all agreements, representations, warranties and covenants made by Buyer and Seller and constitutes the entire understanding between the Parties with respect to the purchase and sale of the Property. All Exhibits and Schedules to this Agreement are fully incorporated as a part of this Agreement. Any prior correspondence, memoranda, letters of intent, or other agreements between the Parties, including without limitation any oral or written statements made by the Seller Parties or the Buyer Parties, are not binding on or enforceable against either Party, and are entirely superseded and replaced by this Agreement; provided, however, that any prior access, confidentiality, or non-disclosure agreement(s) between Seller and Buyer or any Buyer Party will remain of full force and effect and will not be superseded by this Agreement.
Section 7.3. Confidentiality. (a) Seller will be providing Confidential Information in connection with Buyer’s evaluation of the transaction and the Property during the term of this Agreement, and Buyer will obtain additional Confidential Information pursuant to Buyer’s due diligence investigations of and regarding the Property and Tenants. Buyer agrees to keep the Confidential Information strictly confidential and shall not disclose, permit the disclosure of, release, disseminate or transfer, whether written or orally or by any other means, such Confidential Information, in whole or in part, in any manner; provided, however, that the Buyer Parties may make such limited disclosures, strictly on a “need-to-know” basis, to and among the Buyer Parties as may reasonably be required in connection with Buyer’s evaluation of the Property. Buyer agrees that the other Buyer Parties must be informed by Buyer of the confidential nature of the Confidential Information and must be required by Buyer to treat the Confidential Information in confidence as required under this Agreement. Buyer will be responsible for ensuring the compliance of all Buyer Parties with the terms of this Agreement. Buyer will take all appropriate measures to safeguard the confidentiality and avoid any disclosure of Confidential Information to any unauthorized Person by Buyer or the Buyer Parties. No license is granted, directly or indirectly, to any of the Confidential Information. If this Agreement is terminated prior to Closing, then except as provided in Section
46
Agreement of Purchase and Sale

2.1(c) above, Buyer will destroy, and cause each of the Buyer Parties to destroy, all materials containing Confidential Information. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) to the extent required by a Buyer Party’s customary internal policies or other legal requirements applicable to such Buyer Party, such Buyer Party may retain a copy of Confidential Information solely to satisfy such requirements, provided that such Buyer Party must otherwise strictly maintain the confidentiality thereof; and (b) a Buyer Party may disclose Confidential Information to the extent required to be disclosed pursuant to court order or subpoena, but only after such Buyer Party has notified Seller of any request, court order or subpoena seeking or requiring disclosure of Confidential Information and has given Seller the reasonable opportunity to appeal or challenge the same. Buyer agrees that money damages would not be a sufficient remedy for any breach of the confidentiality provisions of this Agreement by Buyer or any Buyer Parties and Seller will be entitled to equitable relief, including injunction and specific performance, as a remedy for any such breach. The confidentiality covenants and obligations set forth in this Agreement will survive for a period of (i) one (1) year after any termination of this Agreement prior to the Initial Closing, as to all Confidential Information, or (ii) if the Initial Closing occurs, then one (1) year after the Final Closing as to all Confidential Information relating to Seller or any Seller Parties, but with no further confidentiality obligation after each Closing as to Confidential Information relating solely to the Sites included in such Closing.
(b) Buyer may, in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, provide to Seller or other Seller Parties information that is confidential, proprietary or otherwise not available to the public, including, without limitation, the contents and provisions of this Agreement and the amount of consideration being paid by Buyer for the Property (the “Buyer Protected Information”). Seller agrees to keep the Buyer Protected Information strictly confidential and shall not disclose, permit the disclosure of, release, disseminate or transfer, whether written or orally or by any other means, such Buyer Protected Information, in whole or in part, in any manner; provided, however, that the Seller Parties may make such limited disclosures, strictly on a “need-to-know” basis, to and among the Seller Parties as may reasonably be required in connection with the performance of Seller’s obligations under this Agreement. Seller agrees that the other Seller Parties must be informed by Seller of the confidential nature of the Buyer Protected Information and must be required by Seller to treat the Buyer Protected Information in confidence as required under this Agreement. Seller will be responsible for ensuring the compliance of all Seller Parties with the terms of this Agreement. Seller will take all appropriate measures to safeguard the confidentiality and avoid any disclosure of Buyer Protected Information to any unauthorized Person by Seller or the Seller Parties. No license is granted, directly or indirectly, to any of the Buyer Protected Information. If this Agreement is terminated prior to Closing, Seller will destroy, and cause each of the Seller Parties to destroy, all materials containing Buyer Protected Information. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) to the extent required by a Seller Party’s customary internal policies or other legal requirements applicable to such Seller Party, such Seller Party may retain a copy of Buyer Protected Information solely to satisfy such requirements, provided that such Seller Party must otherwise strictly maintain the confidentiality thereof; and (b) a Seller Party may disclose Buyer Protected Information to the extent required to be disclosed pursuant to court order or subpoena, but only after such Seller Party has notified Buyer of any request, court order or subpoena seeking or requiring disclosure of Buyer Protected Information and has given Buyer the reasonable opportunity to appeal or challenge the same. Seller agrees that money damages would not be a sufficient remedy for any breach of the confidentiality provisions of this Agreement by Seller or any Seller Parties and Buyer will be entitled to equitable relief, including injunction and specific performance, as a remedy for any such breach. The confidentiality covenants and obligations set forth in this Agreement will survive for a period of (i) one (1) year after any termination of this Agreement prior to the Initial Closing, as to all Buyer Protected Information, or (ii) if the Initial
47
Agreement of Purchase and Sale
Coyote Portfolio
Closing occurs, then one (1) year after the Final Closing as to all Buyer Protected Information relating to Buyer or any Buyer Parties, but with no further confidentiality obligation after each Closing as to Buyer Protected Information relating solely to the Sites included in such Closing. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 7.3(b), the Parties agree that “Buyer Protected Information” shall not include any material or information that was or becomes known or available to Seller or any Seller Parties, free of any other confidentiality obligations, outside of this Agreement or the activities of Seller or such Seller Parties pursuant to this Agreement.
(c) For clarity, the Parties agree that the foregoing provisions shall not limit or preclude (i) the disclosures regarding this Agreement that are expressly permitted pursuant to Section 7.21 below; (ii) any disclosure by a Party of the Allocated Purchase Price for a Site to the extent required pursuant to an official filing required for or in connection with the recordation of the Deed for such Site; (iii) any disclosure of the terms of this Agreement by a Party to the Broker; or (iv) any disclosure of the terms of this Agreement by a Party to a Tenant or such Tenant’s Affiliates to the extent reasonably necessary for purposes of addressing any ROFR pursuant to Section 1.4 of this Agreement, or to a Lender or such Lender’s Affiliates to the extent reasonably necessary for purposes of addressing any Loan Assumption pursuant to Section 1.9 of this Agreement. The terms of this Section 7.3 supersede and replace all provisions to the contrary in any other confidentiality agreements entered into by the Parties in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby.
Section 7.4. Time. Time is of the essence in the performance of each of the Parties’ respective obligations under this Agreement; provided, however, that if a deadline or date for performance, or for the giving or receipt of a notice, falls on a day that is not a Business Day, such deadline or date shall be deemed extended to the next Business Day.
Section 7.5. Attorneys’ Fees. In addition to the remedies provided in Article 6 above, if there is any litigation, action or other proceeding between the Parties (“Action”) to enforce any provisions or rights arising under or in connection with this Agreement or the Closing Documents, the Party that is determined to have prevailed in such Action will also be entitled to an award against the non-prevailing Party for all costs and expenses, including but not limited to reasonable attorneys’ fees, reasonably incurred by the prevailing Party in connection with the prosecution or defense of such Action. The provisions of this Section will survive Closing or any earlier termination of this Agreement.
Section 7.6. Merger of Obligations. Obligations and other provisions that are expressly provided in this Agreement to survive or be performed after the Closing will not merge with the transfer of legal title to the Property but will remain in effect until fulfilled or expired per their terms; all other obligations of the Parties will merge with and be extinguished upon the transfer of legal title to the Real Property to Buyer at Closing. To the extent an applicable obligation or provision relates to a specific Site or Sites, such time will be measured from the date the Closing for such Site(s) occurs; otherwise such references to the Closing will mean the Final Closing.
Section 7.7. Assignment. Subject to the provisions of this Section, Buyer may, by written notice given to Seller not less than fifteen (15) Business Days prior to the subject Closing, assign Buyer’s right to receive the conveyance of any Site or Sites under this Agreement to one or more Permitted Assignees. Buyer’s rights and obligations under this Agreement are not otherwise transferable, assignable or delegable, directly or indirectly, without the prior written consent of Seller, which consent may be given or withheld in Seller’s sole and absolute discretion. Any transfer,
48
Agreement of Purchase and Sale
Coyote Portfolio
assignment or delegation (to a Permitted Assignee or otherwise) must be made pursuant to a written agreement meeting the requirements of this Section, which agreement will include (without limitation) provisions stating that (a) the transfer, assignment or delegation does not release, diminish or otherwise affect the obligations of the original Buyer under this Agreement, including the original Buyer’s obligations to pay the Purchase Price at Closing and to indemnify Seller and the other Seller Parties in accordance with the terms hereof; and (b) the Permitted Assignee (or other approved transferee, assignee or delegee) expressly agrees for the benefit of Seller and the Seller Parties that (i) such Person is assuming all obligations of the original Buyer under this Agreement, other than obligations relating solely to any Site(s) not being acquired by such Person (if any); and (ii) the conveyance of the Site or Sites to such Person will be subject to all of the terms, provisions, conditions and limitations set forth in this Agreement to the same extent as if such Person was the original Buyer executing this Agreement. Seller will not be obligated to assume any additional cost, liability or obligation as a result of any transfer, assignment or delegation by Buyer pursuant to this Section. Any attempted transfer, assignment or delegation by Buyer in contravention of this Section will be null and void. Subject to the limitations described herein, this Agreement will inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Parties and their respective successors and assigns.
Section 7.8. 1031 Exchange. Each Party may structure its acquisition or sale, as applicable, in whole or in part, as part of a like-kind exchange under Section 1031 of the Code. Each Party will reasonably cooperate with the other (at no cost or liability to the cooperating Party) in effectuating such a like-kind exchange, including signing such documents as may be reasonably and customarily necessary to acknowledge such exchange; provided, however, that (a) the Closing will not be delayed thereby, (b) the exchanging Party will not be released from any liability or obligation under this Agreement, and (c) the cooperating Party will not incur any additional liability or undertake any additional obligation as a result of any such like-kind exchange. The Party employing the like-kind exchange structure will pay all costs and expenses associated with effectuating such exchange.
Section 7.9. Governing Law; Jurisdiction and Venue. THIS AGREEMENT WILL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF ARIZONA, BEING THE LOCATION OF SELLER, EXCEPT AS TO REAL PROPERTY MATTERS DIRECTLY RELATED TO A SINGLE INDIVIDUAL SITE AND WHICH MUST NECESSARILY BE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE IN WHICH THE RESPECTIVE REAL PROPERTY OF SUCH SITE IS LOCATED (the “Property State”), WHICH MATTERS AS TO A SPECIFIC SITE WILL BE GOVERNED BY THE LAW OF THE RESPECTIVE PROPERTY STATE FOR SUCH SITE. For the purposes of any suit, action or proceeding involving this Agreement, each Party expressly submits to the jurisdiction of all federal and state courts sitting in the State of Arizona and consents that any order, process, notice of motion or other application to or by any such court or a judge thereof may be served within or without such court’s jurisdiction by registered mail or by personal service, provided that a reasonable time for appearance is allowed, and each Party agrees that such courts will have jurisdiction over any such suit, action or proceeding commenced by any Party. Each Party irrevocably waives any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement brought in any federal or state court sitting in the State of Arizona and further irrevocably waives any claim that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. The foregoing provisions are not intended to establish the State of Arizona as the exclusive forum for any suit, action or proceeding involving this Agreement, but merely to
49
Agreement of Purchase and Sale

establish the consent and agreement of each Party to such non-exclusive jurisdiction and venue in the event of any contest or dispute over such matters.
Section 7.10. Waiver of Trial by Jury. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMISSIBLE UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, EACH PARTY WAIVES, IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY, TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION BROUGHT ON, UNDER OR BY VIRTUE OF OR RELATING IN ANY WAY TO THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OF THE CLOSING DOCUMENTS, THE PROPERTY, OR ANY CLAIMS OR ACTIONS PERTAINING TO ANY OF THE FOREGOING.

Section 7.11. Interpretation of Agreement. The Article, Section and other headings of this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall not be construed to affect the meaning of any provision contained in this Agreement. Where the context so requires, (a) the use of the singular shall include the plural and vice versa and the use of the masculine shall include the feminine and the neuter; (b) the words “herein”, “hereof” and “hereunder” and other words of similar import refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular Article, Section or other subdivision; and (c) the words “including” and “include” and other words of similar import will be deemed to be followed by the phrase “without limitation.” All monetary amounts expressed in “dollars” or designated by a “$”, “USD” or “US$” symbol or abbreviation refer to a monetary amount payable within the United States in the current lawful, dollar-denominated official currency of the United States of America. The terms and provisions of this Agreement represent the result of negotiations by the Parties, and each Party has been represented by counsel of, and to the extent of, such Party’s own choosing, and neither Party has acted under any duress or compulsion, whether legal, economic or otherwise. Consequently, the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall be interpreted and construed in accordance with their usual and customary meanings, and the Parties each waive the application of any rule of law that might otherwise be applicable that ambiguous or conflicting terms or provisions contained in this Agreement shall be interpreted or construed against the Party that prepared (or whose attorney prepared) the executed Agreement or any earlier draft of this Agreement or the provision in question.
Section 7.12. Amendments; No Waiver. No modification, waiver, amendment or discharge of or under this Agreement will be valid unless contained in a writing signed by the Party against whom enforcement is sought. No waiver by Seller or Buyer of a breach of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement will be construed or held to be a waiver of any succeeding or preceding breach of the same or any other term, covenant or condition contained in this Agreement.
Section 7.13. No Recording. Neither this Agreement nor any memorandum or short form thereof may be recorded by Buyer or any Buyer Party. Any such recording of this Agreement or a memorandum or short form hereof by Buyer or any Buyer Party will constitute an immediate Buyer Default under this Agreement, and in addition to Seller’s other remedies therefor, Seller may conclusively establish the complete release and removal of such recorded document simply by recording a copy of this provision of this Agreement.
Section 7.14. No Third Party Beneficiary. Except as may be expressly stated herein, the provisions of this Agreement do not and are not intended to benefit any third parties.
Section 7.15. Severability. If, in any action to enforce this Agreement, any one or more of the covenants, agreements, conditions, provisions, or terms of this Agreement is, in any respect or to any extent (in whole or in part), held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable for any reason, all remaining portions thereof that are not so held, and all other covenants, agreements, conditions, provisions, and terms of this Agreement, will not be affected by such holding, but will remain valid and in force to the fullest extent permitted by law.
Section 7.16. Drafts Not an Offer. The submission of a draft of this Agreement by one Party to another is not intended by either Party to be an offer to enter into a legally binding contract with respect to the purchase and sale of the Property.

Buyer have duly executed this Agreement and the Parties have delivered that fully executed Agreement to Escrow Agent.
Section 7.17. Consent Standards. Unless expressly provided otherwise in this Agreement, any consent, determination, election or approval required to be obtained, or permitted to be given, by or on behalf of either Party under this Agreement will be given, withheld or made (as the case may be) by such Party in the exercise of such Party’s commercially reasonable discretion and within a commercially reasonable period of time.
Section 7.18. Counterparts; Signatures. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which taken together will constitute one and the same Agreement. Signatures to this Agreement sent by email (including “.pdf”), or delivered by other electronic means will be valid and effective to bind the Party so signing. Each Party agrees to promptly deliver a “hard copy” of this Agreement bearing such Party’s original manual ink signature to the other Party upon request, but a failure to do so will not affect the enforceability of this Agreement.
Section 7.19. Exculpation. In no event whatsoever will any Seller Parties or Buyer Parties have any recourse with respect to this Agreement or any of the Closing Documents against, and no liability will be asserted with respect to this Agreement or any Closing Documents against, any of Seller’s or Buyer’s respective members, partners, shareholders, trustees, employees, agents, directors, officers, or other owners, principals, representatives, or Affiliates, or the respective constituents thereof (collectively, the “Exculpated Persons”), and in no event whatsoever will any of the Exculpated Persons have or be deemed to have undertaken or assumed any personal liability for any obligations entered into by Seller or Buyer, as applicable, under this Agreement or any of the Closing Documents, and regardless of whether any such Persons negotiated or executed this Agreement or any of the Closing Documents on behalf of either Seller or Buyer, as applicable.
Section 7.20. Allocation of Post-Closing Liability. Subject to any obligations and liabilities that this Agreement may expressly allocate to the contrary, the Parties agree that, as between Buyer and Seller, after the Closing of a subject Site (a) Seller (rather than Buyer) will remain liable for obligations asserted by or owed to third parties with respect to events that occurred during, and undertakings, acts, and omissions of Seller during, Seller’s ownership or operation of such Site prior to the Closing, and (b) Buyer (rather than Seller) will be liable for obligations asserted by or owed to third parties with respect to events that occur during, and undertakings, acts or omissions of Buyer during, Buyer’s ownership or operation of such Site on and after such Closing. The Parties expressly agree that the provisions of this Section will not apply to allocate to Seller (i) any Claim asserted by or on behalf of any Tenant after Closing to the extent such Claim relates to or arises from the physical or environmental condition of or about any Site, regardless of whether such condition is determined to have existed prior to Closing, or (ii) any Claim asserted by a Tenant after Closing that was not expressly asserted or reserved in the Estoppel Certificate delivered by such Tenant for the Closing pursuant to Section 5.2 above. The Parties will each promptly advise the other of any such matters asserted against one Party that such Party reasonably believes should be the responsibility of the other Party, and the non-responsible Party will reasonably cooperate with the responsible Party (at no material expense to the non-responsible Party) to promptly address any such matters that may be so asserted. The provisions of this Section are intended solely to apply between Buyer and Seller and do not and are not intended to inure to or benefit any third parties. The provisions of this Section shall survive the Closing. For clarity, the
52
Agreement of Purchase and Sale
Coyote Portfolio
provisions of this Section 7.20 shall not limit any liability Seller may have under Section 5.2 for an inaccurate statement, representation or warranty set forth in a Seller Estoppel.
Section 7.21. Public Disclosures. Neither Party will issue, or cause or permit its Affiliates to issue, any securities filing, press release or public statement with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement that expressly names the other Party or any Affiliate of the other Party (a “Public Disclosure”) without the prior written consent of the other Party, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. If either Party desires to issue a Public Disclosure, then prior to any issuance such Party will give a copy of the proposed Public Disclosure to the other Party for its review, comment and approval. If no objection or comments are received from the other Party within three (3) Business Days after the other Party receives such proposed Public Disclosure for review, consent to such Public Disclosure shall be deemed given by the reviewing Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Party reasonably determines, in consultation with its legal counsel, that a Public Disclosure, including without limitation any filing by such Party or its affiliates with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), is reasonably required by applicable law or regulation (“Required”) with respect to the execution of this Agreement, then for such initial Required Public Disclosure (the “Initial Required Disclosure”) the other Party agrees to commence the foregoing review process prior to the Effective Date and conclude the same within one (1) Business Day after the Effective Date. If an additional Public Disclosure is Required subsequent to an Initial Required Disclosure filed by a Party after the execution of this Agreement (an “Additional Required Disclosure”), the filing Party may (but is not obligated to) obtain the review and consent of the other Party as aforesaid if, but only if, such Additional Required Disclosure both (a) is consistent with such Party’s standard practices in connection with filings by such Party or its Affiliates with the SEC or any stock exchange rule applicable to such Party or its Affiliates, and (b) does not include material information regarding this Agreement, the transactions that are the subject of this Agreement, or the Parties that was not disclosed as a part of such Party’s Initial Disclosures. The provisions of this Section shall survive the Closing or any earlier termination of this Agreement.
Section 7.22. State-Specific Provisions. In order to give effect to certain provisions of state law that may be applicable to certain Sites, the provisions contained in this Section 7.22 are hereby incorporated into this Agreement and made a part hereof, but solely as regards, and solely applicable to, the Sites located in the respective State:
(a) As to Sites located in Florida, Seller hereby notifies Buyer that Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that, when it has accumulated in a building in sufficient quantities, may present health risks to persons who are exposed to it over time. Levels of radon that exceed federal and state guidelines have been found in buildings in Florida. Additional information regarding radon testing may be obtained from your county health department. The foregoing notification is provided pursuant to Section 404.056(6) of the Florida Statutes.

Prac. & Rem. Code Xxx. § 16.070 (Xxxxxx 2012). To the fullest extent permitted by law, each Party relinquishes its rights under Section 16.070. In the event the ninety (90) day time period establishing the Claim Bar Date is held invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the Parties agree that: (x) the Claim Bar Date shall instead be the date that is two (2) years and one (1) day after the date of Closing; and (y) such holding shall not affect any other covenants, agreements, conditions, provisions or terms of Section 4.5 or this Agreement.

Buyer expressly waives any and all rights conferred upon it by the provisions of California Civil Code Section 1542, which provides:
A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS THAT THE CREDITOR OR RELEASING PARTY DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE AND THAT, IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER, WOULD HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR OR RELEASED PARTY.
The Subject Provisions are material and included as a material portion of the consideration given to Seller by Buyer in exchange for Seller's performance under this Agreement. Seller has given Buyer material concessions regarding this transaction in exchange for Buyer agreeing to the Subject Provisions. The Subject Provisions, including without limitation the release contained therein, shall survive the Closing and the delivery and recording of the Deed in perpetuity.
