operation of the Property as of the Effective Date, to the extent assignable, and any other
service and operating agreements pertaining to the Property that are entered into by Seller
after the date of this Agreement and prior to the Closing in accordance with the terms of
this Agreement, in each case to the extent approved by Buyer in accordance with this
Agreement (collectively, the “Contracts”); provided, however, any Contracts (other than the
utility contracts with Xxxx Corporation) not so approved by Buyer shall be terminated by

2. Purchase Price. Subject to the charges, prorations and other adjustments set forth
in this Agreement, the total Purchase Price of the Property shall be Seventy-Six Million Dollars
($76,000,000.00) (“Purchase Price”) payable as follows:
2.1 Deposit/Further Payments/Down Payment. Within one business day after the
Effective Date, Buyer shall deposit into Escrow the amount of $1,250,000.00 (the “Initial
Deposit”), in the form of a wire transfer payable to Chicago Title Insurance Company located
at 000 Xxxxx Xxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx 00000 (“Escrow Holder”). On or prior to the
last day of the Inspection Period, Buyer shall deposit into Escrow, by wire transfer, the
amount of $5,000.000.00 (the “Additional Deposit”, which collectively with the Initial
Deposit, is called the “Deposit”). If Buyer fails to timely make either the Initial Deposit
or the Additional Deposit, Seller may, at its option, terminate this Agreement by notice to
Buyer. The Initial Deposit and the Additional Deposit shall each be nonrefundable except as
provided in Section 10 hereof and Section 14.1 hereof. Escrow Holder shall place the
Deposit into an interest bearing money market account at a bank or other financial
institution reasonably satisfactory to Buyer, and interest thereon shall be credited to
Buyer’s account.
2.2 On or before Closing, Buyer shall deposit into Escrow the balance of the Purchase
Price (subject to adjustments and prorations as set forth herein) by wire transfer payable
to Escrow Holder.
3. Title to Property. During the Inspection Period (hereafter defined) Buyer shall
review and approve the Title Documents (hereinafter defined) and the Survey (hereinafter defined).
If the Title Documents or Survey or any title report or title commitment obtained by Buyer from
FirstAm (as hereinafter defined) reflect or disclose any defect, exception or other
2
matter affecting the Property (“Title Defects”) that is unacceptable to Buyer, within ten
(10) business days after the Effective Date, Buyer shall provide Seller with written notice of
Buyer’s objections. Seller may, at its sole option, elect to cure or remove (by endorsement or
otherwise) the objections made by Buyer. Should Seller elect to attempt to cure or remove (by
endorsement or otherwise) the objection, it shall be a condition precedent to Buyer’s obligation to
acquire the Property that Seller cures or removes (by endorsement or otherwise) such title
objection prior to the Closing. Unless Seller provides written notice to Buyer two (2) business
days before the expiration of the Inspection Period that Seller intends to cure or remove (by
endorsement or otherwise) Buyer’s title objections, Seller shall be deemed to have elected not to
cure or remove Buyer’s title objections, and Buyer shall be entitled, as Buyer’s sole and exclusive
remedy, either to (i) terminate this Agreement by written notice to Seller on or prior to the
earlier of the expiration of the Inspection Period and five (5) business days after the date, if
any, that Seller gives a written notice to Buyer that Seller does not intend to cure or remove
Buyer’s title objections, in which event the Deposit shall be paid to Seller and Buyer shall return
the Due Diligence Items (hereinafter defined) or (ii) waive the objections and close this
transaction as otherwise contemplated herein. If Buyer shall fail to terminate this Agreement
during the Inspection Period, all matters shown on the Survey and all matters described in the
Title Report (and any matters described in any title report or title commitment from FirstAm (as
hereinafter defined)), except for monetary liens for indebtedness of Seller and any matters Seller
has agreed to cure in writing, shall be deemed “Permitted Exceptions.” Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary contained herein, Buyer may elect, by giving written notice to Seller within three (3)
business days after the Effective Date, to substitute First American Title Insurance Company
(“FirstAm”) as the Escrow Holder hereunder and the issuer of the Title Policy (as hereinafter
defined). If Buyer properly makes such election, then (a) any exceptions or matters that are set
forth in a title report, title commitment or title policy issued by FirstAm but are not set forth
in the Survey, the Title Report and other Title Documents (as hereinafter defined) delivered to
Buyer by Seller shall be deemed to be “Permitted Exceptions” hereunder, (b) Seller shall not be
required to spend any more for a title policy issued by FirstAm than it would have paid to Chicago
Title Insurance Company (“CTI”) pursuant to CTI’s proposal (a copy of which has been provided to
Buyer), and (c) Buyer shall pay any and all costs of CTI in connection therewith (not to exceed
$2,000).
4. Due Diligence Items.
4.1 Seller has delivered to Buyer (either by delivery to Buyer or by posting the same
on the Peracon Website and providing Buyer an access code thereto), to the extent the same
are available, and Buyer hereby acknowledges receipt of the following items (together with
the items described in Section 4.2, collectively, the “Due Diligence Items”):
4.1.1 Any existing survey of the Property, in Seller’s possession (the
“Survey”);

operation of the Property.
5. Inspections.
5.1 Buyer shall have a temporary non-exclusive license to enter and conduct
non-invasive feasibility, environmental, and physical studies collectively of the Property
that Buyer may deem necessary or advisable (the “Inspections”) at any time during the
Inspection Period, on the terms set forth in this Article 5. Buyer shall not conduct
invasive testing of any kind (including without limitation, “Phase II” environmental
testing) without Seller’s consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.
Buyer’s right to conduct the Inspections shall be subject to rights of Tenants and shall be
subject to such conditions as may be reasonably imposed by Seller in order to avoid
disruption at the Property. All of the Inspections shall be conducted at the expense of
Buyer without contribution from Seller of any kind or amount.
4
5.2 Buyer must arrange all Inspections of the Property with Seller at least two
(2) business days in advance of any Inspections. At Seller’s election, a representative of
Seller shall be present during any entry by Buyer or its representatives upon the Property
for conducting said Inspections. Buyer and its agents shall maintain equipment and other
materials in an orderly manner while they are located on the Property and to maintain them
in locations specified by Seller. Buyer agrees to remove all debris and trash resulting
from the Inspections on a daily basis and to remove all equipment and other materials used
by Buyer or its agents as soon as the activity for which such equipment and other materials
are used is completed. Buyer and its agents shall take all appropriate measures for the
safety of persons and property on the Property and shall comply with all applicable legal
requirements. Buyer shall, at its sole cost and expense, promptly restore any damage to the
Property resulting from the Inspections including but not limited to repair of surface
openings resulting from tests. Buyer shall promptly provide to Seller a copy of all reports
and test results prepared or furnished in connection with the Inspections.
5.3 In the event that the Inspections show any fact, matter or condition to exist with
respect to the Property that is unacceptable to Buyer, in Buyer’s sole subjective
discretion, then Buyer shall be entitled, as its sole and exclusive remedy, to (1) terminate
this Agreement by written notice to Seller on or prior to the expiration of the Inspection
Period, or (2) waive the objection, and close the transaction as otherwise contemplated
herein. Buyer agrees to promptly discharge any liens that may be imposed against the
Property as a result of the Inspections.
5.4 Buyer shall indemnify, save and hold Seller and Seller’s officers, agents,
employees, directors, trustees, invitees, successors, and assigns (collectively
“Indemnitees”) harmless against all losses, costs, expenses, liabilities, claims,
litigation, demands, proceedings and damages (including but not limited to attorney’s fees)
suffered or incurred by Seller or any such Indemnitees arising out of and limited to the
Inspections, provided that Buyer shall not incur any liability due to its discovery, without
exacerbation, of the condition of any Hazardous Materials or other circumstances at the
Property. Buyer waives any claims against Seller arising out of the Inspections or this
Agreement other than claims that are solely caused by or solely arise from any gross
negligence or willful misconduct of Seller. Buyer hereby assumes all responsibility for
claims against Seller by the contractors, subcontractors, employees, and agents of Buyer
other than claims that are solely caused by or solely arise from Seller’s gross negligence
or willful misconduct.
5.5 Buyer shall, during the term of this Agreement and at all times during which access
is available to it, require its subcontractors and agents, to maintain insurance, in form
and substance reasonably satisfactory to Seller, with insurance companies acceptable to
Seller, the following insurance: Comprehensive General Liability or Commercial General
Liability Insurance, with limits of not less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) combined
single limit per occurrence and not less than Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000) on a general
aggregate basis, for bodily injury, death and property damage, and Excess (umbrella)
liability insurance with liability insurance with limits of not less than Five Million
Dollars ($5,000,000) per occurrence. Each policy of
5
insurance shall name Seller as an additional insured. Further, each policy of
insurance shall state that such policy is primary and noncontributing with any insurance
carried by Seller. Such policy shall contain a provision that the naming of the additional
insured shall not negate any right the additional insured would have had as a claimant under
the policy if not so named and shall contain severability of interest and cross-liability
clauses. A certificate, together with any endorsements to the policy required to evidence
the coverage which is to be obtained hereunder, shall be delivered to Seller prior to entry
on the Property. The certificate shall expressly provide that no less than thirty (30) days
prior written notice shall be given Seller in the event of any material alteration to or
cancellation of the coverages evidenced by said certificate. A renewal certificate for each
of the policies required in this section shall be delivered to Seller not less than thirty
(30) days prior to the expiration date of the term of such policy. Any policies required by
the provisions of this section may be made a part of a blanket policy of insurance with a
“per project, per location endorsement” so long as such blanket policy contains all of the
provisions required herein and does not reduce the coverage, impair the rights of the other
party to this Agreement or negate the requirements of this Agreement.
5.6 During the course of its performance of the Inspections, Buyer will acquire
knowledge concerning the Property or Seller, or knowledge of other matters of a sensitive
business nature (collectively, “Privileged Information”). Except as described below,
neither Buyer nor its agents shall disclose to any third party, publicize or suffer or
permit any of their respective employees to so disclose or publicize any such Privileged
Information, other than to consultants, attorneys and agents as necessary for Buyer’s
inspection and analysis of the Property. In the event that Buyer believes in good faith
that it is required by any legal requirement to disclose any such Privileged Information,
then Buyer shall immediately notify Seller of such belief and the reasons for such belief.
If Seller within ten (10) days after receipt of such notice, advises the party that sent the
notice that Seller shall itself disclose the information, then Buyer shall not make such
disclosure (unless either such party reasonably believes that it must disclose such
information by law). If Buyer reasonably believes that such disclosure is required to be
made in less than the ten (10)-day period, then the notice to Seller shall so state and
Seller’s time to respond will be reduced accordingly.
5.7 The obligations of Buyer described in this Article shall survive the Closing or any
termination of this Agreement.
6. Approval.
6.1 Buyer shall have until January 8, 2009 (“Inspection Period”) to approve or
disapprove the Inspections. If Buyer shall fail to notify Seller and Escrow Holder of its
disapproval of the Inspections in writing within the Inspection Period, the condition of the
Property shall be deemed approved. If Buyer shall disapprove the Inspections within the
Inspection Period and shall terminate this Agreement as provided in Section 5.3, this
Agreement and the Escrow shall thereupon be terminated and effective on such termination the
Deposit shall be paid to Seller. Buyer shall not be entitled to purchase the Property,
Seller shall not be obligated to sell the Property to Buyer and the parties shall
6
be relieved of any further obligation to each other with respect to the Property,
except as provided in Paragraph 5.
6.2 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Buyer hereby agrees
that, in the event this Agreement is terminated for any reason, then Buyer shall promptly
and at its sole expense return to Seller all Due Diligence Items which have been delivered
by Seller to Buyer in connection with the Inspections, along with copies of all reports,
drawings, plans, studies, summaries, surveys, maps and other data prepared by third parties
relating to the Property, subject to restrictions on Buyer’s ability to make any such
materials available to Seller that are imposed in any agreement with a third party
consultant preparing any such reports or materials (“Buyer’s Reports”); provided, however,
that delivery of such copies and information by Buyer shall be without warranty or
representation whatsoever, express or implied, including without limitations, any warranty
or representation as to ownership, accuracy, adequacy or completeness thereof or otherwise.
Buyer shall cooperate with Seller at no expense to Buyer in order to obtain a waiver of any
such restrictions.
6.3 Contracts. On or before the end of the Inspection Period, Buyer will
designate in a written notice to Seller which Contracts Buyer will assume and which
Contracts must be terminated by Seller at Closing. Taking into account any credits or
prorations to be made pursuant to this Agreement for payments coming due after Closing but
accruing prior to Closing, Buyer will assume the obligations arising from and after the
Closing Date under those Contracts which Buyer has designated will not be terminated. At
Buyer’s expense, Seller shall, to the extent that Seller has the right to terminate the
Contracts not so assumed, terminate at Closing all Contracts that are not so assumed.
7. Escrow.
7.1 Opening. The purchase and sale of the Property shall be consummated
through an escrow (“Escrow”) to be opened with Escrow Holder within two (2) business days
after the Effective Date. Escrow shall be deemed to be opened as of the date fully executed
copies (or counterparts) of this Agreement are delivered to Escrow Holder by Buyer and
Seller (“Opening of Escrow”). This Agreement shall be considered as the Escrow instructions
between the parties, with such further instructions as Escrow Holder shall require in order
to clarify its duties and responsibilities. If Escrow Holder shall require further Escrow
instructions, Escrow Holder may prepare such instructions on its usual form. Such further
instructions shall be promptly signed by Buyer and Seller and returned to Escrow Holder
within three (3) business days of receipt thereof. In the event of any conflict between the
terms and conditions of this Agreement and such further instructions, the terms and
conditions of this Agreement shall control.
7.2 Closing.
7.2.1 Escrow shall close (“Closing”) on the 60th day after the expiration of

7.7 Prorations.
7.7.1 Items to be Prorated. The following shall be prorated between
Seller and Buyer as of the Closing with Buyer being deemed the owner of the Property
as of the Closing:
9
(a) Taxes and Assessments. All non-delinquent real property
taxes, assessments and other governmental impositions of any kind or nature,
including, without limitation, any special assessments or similar charges
(collectively, “Taxes”), which are payable during the calendar year within
which the Closing (regardless of when such taxes are levied or assessed or
the calendar year, tax year or other period to which such taxes may be
attributable) occurs based upon the actual number of days in the calendar
year. With respect to any portion of the Taxes which are payable by any
Tenant directly to the authorities, no proration or adjustment shall be
made. The proration for Taxes shall be based upon the most recently issued
tax xxxx for the Property, and shall be calculated based upon the maximum
early payment discount available, if applicable. The prorations for taxes
and assessments which are made at Closing shall be final, and not subject to
reproration after Closing. Upon the Closing, Buyer shall be responsible for
real estate taxes and assessments on the Property payable from and after the
Closing. In no event shall Seller be charged with or be responsible for any
increase in the taxes or assessments on the Property resulting from the sale
of the Property or from any improvements made or leases entered into after
the Closing. With respect to all periods for which Seller has paid Taxes,
Seller hereby reserves the right to institute or continue any proceeding or
proceedings for the reduction of the assessed valuation of the Property,
and, in its sole discretion, to settle the same. Seller shall have sole
authority to control the progress of, and to make all decisions with respect
to, such proceedings but shall provide Buyer with copies of all
communications with the taxing authorities. All net tax refunds and credits
attributable to any period prior to the Closing which Seller has paid or for
which Seller has given a credit to Buyer shall belong to and be the property
of Seller, provided, however, that any such refunds and credits that are the
property of Tenants under Leases shall be promptly remitted by Seller
directly to such Tenants or to Buyer for the credit of such Tenants. All
net tax refunds and credits attributable to any period subsequent to the
Closing shall belong to and be the property of Buyer. Buyer agrees to
cooperate with Seller in connection with the prosecution of any such
proceedings and to take all steps, whether before or after the Closing, as
may be necessary to carry out the intention of this subparagraph, including
the delivery to Seller, upon demand, of any relevant books and records,
including receipted tax bills and cancelled checks used in payment of such
taxes, the execution of any and all consent or other documents, and the
undertaking of any acts necessary for the collection of such refund by
Seller. Buyer agrees that, as a condition to the transfer of the Property
by Buyer, Buyer will cause any transferee to assume the obligations set
forth herein.
(b) Rents. Buyer will receive a credit at the Closing for all
rents collected by Seller prior to the Closing and allocable to the period
from and after the Closing based upon the actual number of days in the
month. No credit shall be given Seller for accrued and unpaid rent or any
10
other non-current sums due from Tenants until these sums are paid and
Seller shall retain the right to collect any such rent provided Seller does
not xxx to evict any tenants or terminate any Tenant Leases. Buyer shall
cooperate with Seller after the Closing to collect any rent under the Tenant
Leases which has accrued as of the Closing; provided, however, Buyer shall
not be obligated to xxx any Tenants or exercise any legal remedies under the
Tenant Leases or to incur any expense over and above its own regular
collection expenses. All payments collected from Tenants after the Closing
shall first be applied to the month in which the Closing occurs, then to any
rent due to Buyer for the period after Closing and finally to any rent due
to Seller for the period prior to Closing; provided, however,
notwithstanding the foregoing, if Seller collects any payments from Tenants
after Closing through its own collection efforts, Seller may first apply
such payments to rent due Seller for the period prior to Closing.
(c) CAM Expenses. To the extent that Tenants are reimbursing
the landlord for common area maintenance and other operating expenses
(collectively, “CAM Charges”), CAM Charges shall be prorated at Closing and
again subsequent to Closing, as of the date of Closing on a lease-by-lease
basis with each party being entitled to receive a portion of the CAM Charges
payable under each Lease for the CAM Lease Year in which Closing occurs,
which portion shall be equal to the actual CAM Charges incurred during the
party’s respective periods of ownership of the Property during the CAM Lease
Year. As used herein, the term “CAM Lease Year” means the twelve (12) month
period as to which annual CAM Charges are owed under each Lease. Five
(5) days prior to Closing Seller shall submit to Buyer an itemization of its
actual CAM Charges operating expenses through such date and the amount of
CAM Charges received by Seller as of such date, together with an estimate of
CAM Charges to be incurred to, but not including, the Closing. In the event
that Seller has received CAM Charges payments in excess of its actual CAM
Charges operating expenses, Buyer shall be entitled to receive a credit
against the Purchase Price for the excess. In the event that Seller has
received CAM Charges payments less than its actual CAM Charges operating
expenses, to the extent that the Leases provide for a “true up” at the end
of the CAM Lease Year, Seller shall be entitled to receive any deficit but
only after Buyer has received any true up payment from the Tenant. Upon
receipt by either party of any CAM Charge true up payment from a Tenant, the
party receiving the same shall provide to the other party its allocable
share of the “true up” payment within five (5) days of the receipt thereof.
(d) Operating Expenses. All operating expenses (including all
charges under the service contracts and agreements assumed by Buyer) shall
be prorated, and as to each service provider, operating expenses payable or
paid to such service provider in respect to the billing period of such
service provider in which the Closing occurs (the “Current Billing
11
Period”), shall be prorated on a per diem basis based upon the number
of days in the Current Billing Period prior to the Closing and the number of
days in the Current Billing Period from and after the Closing, and assuming
that all charges are incurred uniformly during the Current Billing Period.
If actual bills for the Current Billing Period are unavailable as of the
Closing, then such proration shall be made on an estimated basis based upon
the most recently issued bills, subject to readjustment upon receipt of
actual bills.
(e) Security Deposits; Prepaid Rents. Prepaid rentals and
other tenant charges and security deposits (including any portion thereof
which may be designated as prepaid rent) under Tenant Leases, if and to the
extent that such deposits are in Seller’s actual possession or control and
have not been otherwise applied by Seller to any obligations of any Tenants
under the Tenant Leases, shall be credited against the Purchase Price, and
upon the Closing, Buyer shall assume full responsibility for all security
deposits to be refunded to the Tenants under the Tenant Leases (to the
extent the same are required to be refunded by the terms of such Tenant
Leases or applicable). In the event that any security deposits are in the
form of letters of credit or other financial instruments (the “Non-Cash
Security Deposits”), after the Closing, Seller will cooperate with Buyer to
have Buyer named as beneficiary under the Non-Cash Security Deposits;
provided that such cooperation shall be at no cost or expense to Seller.
Buyer will not receive a credit against the Purchase Price for the Non-Cash
Security Deposits.
(f) Leasing Costs. Seller shall receive a credit at the
Closing for all leasing costs, including tenant improvement costs and
allowances, and its pro-rata leasing commissions, previously paid by Seller
in connection with any Lease or modification to an existing Tenant Lease
which was entered into after the Effective Date and which is approved or
deemed approved by Buyer pursuant to this Agreement, which approval included
approval of the tenant improvement costs. Seller’s pro-rata share shall be
equal to a fraction which has as its numerator the number of months left in
the base term of the Lease after the Closing and which has as its
denominator the number of months in the base term of the Lease. Seller
shall pay for all tenant improvement allowances and leasing commissions with
respect to the premises leased as of the Effective Date by the Tenants
pursuant to the Tenant Leases in effect as of the Effective Date, to the
extent that such improvement allowances and leasing commissions are unpaid
as of the Closing. Buyer shall not receive a credit for any unexpired rent
concessions under any of the Leases.
(g) Percentage Rent. Any percentage rents due or paid under
any of the Leases (“Percentage Rent”) shall be prorated between Buyer and
Seller outside of Closing as of the Closing on a Lease-by-Lease basis, as
follows; (a) Seller shall be entitled to receive the portion of the
12
Percentage Rent under each Lease for the Lease Year in which Closing
occurs, which portion shall be the ratio of the number of days of said Lease
Year in which Seller was Landlord under the Lease to the total number of
days in the Lease Year, and (b) Buyer shall receive the balance of
Percentage Rent paid under each Lease for the Lease Year. As used herein,
the term “Lease Year” means the twelve (12) month period as to which annual
Percentage Rent is owed under each Lease. Upon receipt by either Buyer or
Seller of any gross sales reports (“Gross Sales Reports”) and any full or
partial payment of Percentage Rent from any tenant of the Property, the
party receiving the same shall provide to the other party a copy of the
Gross Sales Report and a check for the other party’s prorata share of the
Percentage Rent within five (5) days of the receipt thereof. In the event
that the Tenant only remits a partial payment, then the amount to be
remitted to the other party shall be its prorata share of the partial
payment. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed or construed to require
either Buyer to Seller to pay to the other party its prorata share of the
Percentage Rent prior to receiving the Percentage Rent from the Tenant, and
the acceptance or negotiation of any check for Percentage Rent by either
party shall not be deemed a waiver of that party’s right to contest the
accuracy or amount of the Percentage Rent paid by the Tenant.
7.7.2 Calculation; Reproration. Prior to Closing the parties shall
jointly prepare an estimated closing statement which shall set forth the costs
payable under Sections 7.5 and 7.6 and the prorations and credits provided for in
Section 7.7.1 and elsewhere in this Agreement. Any item which cannot be finally
prorated because of the unavailability of information shall be tentatively prorated
on the basis of the best data then available and adjusted when the information is
available in accordance with this subparagraph. The estimated closing statement as
adjusted as aforesaid and approved in writing by the parties shall be referred to
herein as the “Closing Statement”. If the prorations and credits made under the
Closing Statement shall prove to be incorrect or incomplete for any reason, then
either party shall be entitled to an adjustment to correct the same; provided,
however, that any adjustment shall be made, if at all, within one hundred twenty
(120) days after the Closing, at which time all prorations shall be binding and
conclusive.
7.7.3 Items Not Prorated. Seller and Buyer agree that (a) on the
Closing, the Property will not be subject to any financing arranged by Seller;
(b) none of the insurance policies relating to the Property will be assigned to
Buyer and Buyer shall responsible for arranging for its own insurance as of the
Closing; and (c) utilities, including telephone, electricity, water and gas, shall
be read on the Closing and Buyer shall be responsible for all the necessary actions
needed to arrange for utilities to be transferred to the name of Buyer on the
Closing, including the posting of any required deposits and Seller shall be entitled
to recover and retain from the providers of such utilities any refunds or
overpayments to the extent applicable to the period prior to the Closing, and any
utility deposits which it or its predecessors may have posted. Accordingly, there
13
will be no prorations for debt service, insurance or utilities. In the event a
meter reading is unavailable for any particular utility, such utility shall be
prorated in the manner provided in Section 7.7.1(d) above.
7.7.4 Indemnification. Buyer and Seller shall each indemnify, protect,
defend and hold the other harmless from and against any claim in any way arising
from the matters for which the other receives a credit or otherwise assumes
responsibility pursuant to this section.
7.7.5 Survival. This Section 7.7 shall survive the Closing.
7.8 Connecticut Transfer Act. Buyer and Seller acknowledge that the Property
is an “establishment” under the Connecticut Transfer Act (the “Transfer Act”). In
connection with Seller’s purchase of the Property: (a) Danbury Buildings Co., L.P., and
Danbury Buildings, Inc. (collectively “Danbury”), being the parties who sold the Property to
Seller, filed a “Form III” as the “Certifying Party” with the Connecticut Department of
Environmental Protection (“DEP”), (b) Danbury, Bridgewater Investments, Inc. and Buckeye
Casa Grande, L.P., executed and delivered to Seller that certain Environmental Indemnity
Agreement dated June 14, 2007 (the “Environmental Indemnity Agreement”) and (c) Danbury,
Seller and Chicago Title Insurance Company entered into that certain Environmental Escrow
Agreement dated June 14, 2007 (the “Escrow Agreement”). On or prior to the Closing, Buyer
shall file a “Form III” as the “Certifying Party” with the DEP in accordance with the
provisions of the Transfer Act. In addition, at Closing, Seller shall assign to Buyer, and
Buyer shall assume, pursuant to the Assignment and Assumption Agreement, the Environmental
Indemnity Agreement and the Escrow Agreement.
8. Representations, Warranties, and Covenants.
8.1 Representations of Seller. Seller hereby represents and warrants as of the
date hereof to Buyer as follows:
8.1.1 Seller is a limited liability company duly formed and validly existing
under the laws of the State of Delaware. Seller has full power and authority to
enter into this Agreement, to perform this Agreement and to consummate the
transactions contemplated hereby. This Agreement is a legal, valid and binding
obligation of Seller, enforceable against Seller in accordance with its terms,
subject to the effect of applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
arrangement, moratorium or other similar laws affecting the rights of creditors
generally.
8.1.2 Seller is not a “foreign person” within the meaning of Section 1445(f) of
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).
8.1.3 To the best of Seller’s knowledge, except as disclosed in writing by
Seller pursuant to Section 4.1.5, Seller has received no written notice of any
pending or threatened private or governmental litigation or any order or judgment
against Seller relating to the Property that might, if adversely determined, result
in
14
a material adverse change in the Property, their operation or the validity of
this Agreement.
8.1.4 Except as may be set forth in the Due Diligence Items, Seller has not
received any written notice from a governmental authority that the Property does not
comply with applicable laws.
8.1.5 To the best of Seller’s knowledge, the Due Diligence Items delivered to
Buyer constitute materials that are customarily used by Seller in the ordinary
course of operating the Property and Seller has not intentionally withheld or
intentionally misstated any of the information included in the Due Diligence Items.
8.1.6 Except as set forth in the Due Diligence Items, to Seller’s knowledge
there is no violation of any Environmental Law (as hereinafter defined) with respect
to the Property. As used herein, “Environmental Law” shall mean the Comprehensive
Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (42 U.S.C. Section 9601, et.
seq.) or any similar federal, state or local statute, rule or ordinance relating to
liability of property owners or operators for environmental matters.
In making the foregoing representations and warranties, Seller has not made or undertaken to make
any investigation as to factual matters or as to the accuracy or completeness of any
representation, warranty, data or any other information related thereto and hereby disclaims
liability for any unintentional misstatement. Whenever the term “to Seller’s knowledge” or similar
language is used herein with respect to the existence or absence of facts, it signifies that Seller
has not undertaken any independent investigation of facts, but instead has based its representation
solely upon the current actual knowledge of Xxxx Xxxxxxx, Asset Manager of the Property, and Seller
disclaims any obligation to conduct any independent investigation with respect to such matters.
8.2 Approval of Property; Limitations on Seller Representations and Warranties.
8.2.1 Except as may be specifically provided in Section 8.1 of this Agreement,
Seller makes no representations or warranties as to the truth, accuracy,
completeness, methodology of preparation or otherwise concerning any engineering or
environmental reports, audits, the materials prepared by Seller, or any other
materials, data or other information whatsoever supplied to Buyer in connection with
Buyer’s inspection of the Property. It is the parties’ express understanding and
agreement that such materials are provided only for Buyer’s convenience in making
its own examination and determination prior to the expiration of the Inspection
Period as to whether it wishes to purchase the Property, and, in doing so, Buyer
shall rely exclusively on its own independent investigation and evaluation of every
aspect of the Property and not on any materials supplied by Seller. Except as may
be specifically provided elsewhere in this Agreement, Buyer expressly disclaims any
intent to rely on any such
15
materials provided to it by Seller in connection with its inspection and agrees
that it shall rely solely on its own independently developed or verified
information. Except with respect to all obligations in this Agreement (including
without limitation Seller’s express representations and warranties) that are
expressly stated to survive Closing, the indemnity provisions contained in the
documents delivered in connection with the closing of the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement (collectively, the “Surviving Obligations”), Buyer hereby releases
Seller and its agents, representatives, and employees from any and all claims,
demands, and causes of action, past, present, and future that Buyer may have
relating to (a) the condition of the Property at any time, before or after the
Closing, including without limitation, the presence of any hazardous materials, or
(b) any other matter pertaining to the Property. This release shall survive the
Closing or the termination of this Agreement.
8.2.2 In the event of any breach by Seller of any of the preceding
representations or warranties or any other breach by Seller of any other provision
of this Agreement which is discovered prior to Closing, Buyer’s sole remedy shall be
to elect in writing to terminate this Agreement or waive such breach and proceed
with the Closing. In the event of any material breach by Seller of any of such
representations or warranties or any other material breach by Seller of any other
provision of this Agreement or any agreement delivered in connection herewith
discovered after Closing, Seller shall be liable only for direct and actual damages
suffered by Buyer on account of Seller’s breach, up to the applicable limits
described hereunder, and shall in no event be liable for consequential or punitive
damages. Any liability of Seller hereunder for breach of any such representations
or warranties shall be limited to (a) claims in excess of an aggregate of Fifty
Thousand Dollars ($50,000.00), and (b) a maximum aggregate cap of One Million Two
Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($1,250,000.00). Notice of such claim must be
delivered to Seller in writing within twelve (12) months of the Closing Date. In no
event shall Seller be liable for any consequential, indirect or punitive damages,
including, but not limited to, any loss of use, lost profits and/or loss or
diminution in value, on account of Seller’s breach of any representation or warranty
contained in this Agreement. Additionally, notwithstanding the foregoing, if Buyer
becomes aware prior to the Closing that any representation or warranty hereunder is
untrue, or any covenant or condition to Closing has not been fulfilled or satisfied
(if not otherwise waived by Buyer), and Buyer nonetheless proceeds to close on the
purchase of the Property, then Buyer shall be deemed to have irrevocably and
absolutely waived, relinquished and released all rights and claims against Seller
for any damage or other loss arising out of or resulting from such untrue
representation or warranty or such unfulfilled or unsatisfied covenant or condition.
Seller’s representations and warranties set forth in Section 8.1 shall survive the
Closing for a period of twelve (12) months.
8.2.3 Approval of Property. The consummation of the purchase and sale
of the Property pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed Buyer’s acknowledgement
that it has had an adequate opportunity to make such legal,
16
factual and other inspections, inquiries and investigations as it deems
necessary, desirable or appropriate with respect to the Property. Such inspections,
inquiries and investigations of Buyer shall be deemed to include, but shall not be
limited to, any leases and contracts pertaining to the Property, the physical
components of all portions of the Property, the physical condition of the Property,
such state of facts as an accurate survey, environmental report and inspection would
show, the present and future zoning ordinance, ordinances, resolutions. Buyer shall
not be entitled to and shall not rely upon, Seller or Seller’s agents with regard
to, and Seller will not make any representation or warranty with respect to:
(i) the quality, nature, adequacy or physical condition of the Property including,
but not limited to, the structural elements, foundation, roof, appurtenances,
access, landscaping, parking facilities, or the electrical, mechanical, HVAC,
plumbing, sewage or utility systems, facilities, or appliances at the Property, if
any; (ii) the quality, nature, adequacy or physical condition of soils or the
existence of ground water at the Property; (iii) the existence, quality, nature,
adequacy or physical condition of any utilities serving the Property; (iv) the
development potential of the Property, its habitability, merchantability, or the
fitness, suitability, or adequacy of the Property for any particular purpose;
(v) the zoning or other legal status of the Property; (vi) the Property or its
operations’ compliance with any applicable codes, laws, regulations, statutes,
ordinances, covenants, conditions or restrictions of any governmental or
quasi-governmental entity or of any other person or entity; (vii) the quality of
any labor or materials relating in any way to the Property; or (viii) the condition
of title to the Property or the nature, status and extent of any right-of-way,
lease, right of redemption, possession, lien, encumbrance, license, reservation,
covenant, condition, restriction, or any other matter affecting the Property except
as expressly set forth in this Agreement. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN THIS
AGREEMENT AND THE DEED, SELLER HAS NOT, DOES NOT, AND WILL NOT MAKE ANY WARRANTIES
OR REPRESENTATIONS WITH RESPECT TO THE PROPERTY AND SELLER SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMS
ANY OTHER IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR WARRANTIES ARISING BY OPERATION OF LAW, INCLUDING,
BUT IN NO WAY LIMITED TO, ANY WARRANTY OF CONDITION, MERCHANTABILITY, HABITABILITY,
OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR USE. FURTHERMORE, SELLER HAS NOT, DOES NOT,
AND WILL NOT MAKE ANY REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY WITH REGARD TO COMPLIANCE WITH ANY
ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION, POLLUTION, OR LAND USE LAWS, RULES, REGULATIONS, ORDERS,
OR REQUIREMENTS INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THOSE PERTAINING TO THE HANDLING,
GENERATING, TREATING, STORING OR DISPOSING OF ANY HAZARDOUS WASTE OR SUBSTANCE
INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ASBESTOS, PCB AND RADON. BUYER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT
BUYER IS A SOPHISTICATED BUYER FAMILIAR WITH THIS TYPE OF PROPERTY AND THAT, SUBJECT
ONLY TO THE EXPRESS WARRANTIES SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT AND CLOSING
17
DOCUMENTS, BUYER WILL BE ACQUIRING THE PROPERTY "AS IS AND WHERE IS, WITH ALL
FAULTS,” IN ITS PRESENT STATE AND CONDITION, SUBJECT ONLY TO NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR
AND BUYER SHALL ASSUME THE RISK THAT ADVERSE MATTERS AND CONDITIONS MAY NOT HAVE
BEEN REVEALED BY BUYER’S INSPECTIONS AND INVESTIGATIONS. BUYER SHALL ALSO
ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT THERE ARE NO ORAL AGREEMENTS, WARRANTIES OR
REPRESENTATIONS, COLLATERAL TO OR AFFECTING THE PROPERTY BY SELLER, ANY AGENT OF
SELLER OR ANY THIRD PARTY. THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THIS PARAGRAPH SHALL SURVIVE
THE CLOSING, AND NOT MERGE WITH THE PROVISIONS OF ANY CLOSING DOCUMENTS. SELLER
SHALL NOT BE LIABLE OR BOUND IN ANY MANNER BY ANY ORAL OR WRITTEN STATEMENTS,
REPRESENTATIONS OR INFORMATION PERTAINING TO THE PROPERTY FURNISHED BY ANY REAL
ESTATE BROKER, AGENT, EMPLOYEE, SERVANT OR OTHER PERSON, UNLESS THE SAME ARE
SPECIFICALLY SET FORTH OR REFERRED TO IN THIS AGREEMENT. EXCEPT WITH REGARD TO THE
OBLIGATIONS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT AND THE REPRESENTATIONS AND
WARRANTIES IN SECTION 8.4, BUYER HEREBY RELEASES SELLER AND ITS AGENTS,
REPRESENTATIVES AND EMPLOYEES FROM ANY AND ALL LIABILITY RELATING TO THE CONDITION
OF THE PROPERTY BEFORE OR AFTER THE CLOSING AND ANY OTHER MATTER RELATING TO THE
PROPERTY, WHETHER KNOWN OR UNKNOWN AT THE TIME OF THE CLOSING.
8.2.4 Release. Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement to the
contrary and except for any claims arising under the express representations,
warranties or covenants of Seller under this Agreement or under the indemnity
provisions of any document delivered in connection with the closing of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement, Buyer for itself and its agents,
affiliates, successors and assigns, hereby releases and forever discharges Seller,
and any party related to or affiliated with Seller and their respective successors
and assigns (the “Seller Related Parties”) from and against any and all claims at
law or equity which Buyer or any party related to or affiliated with Buyer and their
respective successors and assigns (each a “Buyer Related Party”) whether known or
unknown at the time of this Agreement, which Buyer or a Buyer Related Party has or
may have in the future, arising from or related to any matter or thing relating to
or in connection with the Property, including but not limited to, the documents and
information referred to in this Agreement, the leases and the tenants, any
construction defects, errors or omissions in the design or construction and arising
out of the physical, environmental, economic or legal condition of the Property,
including, without limitation, any claim arising under the Transfer Act or any claim
for indemnification or contribution arising under the Comprehensive Environmental
Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (42
18
U.S.C. Section 9601, et. seq.) or any similar federal, state or local statute,
rule or ordinance relating to liability of property owners or operators for
environmental matters.
8.3 Intentionally Omitted.
8.4 Intentionally Omitted.
8.5 Covenants of Seller. Seller hereby covenants as follows:
8.5.1 At all times from the date hereof through the date of Closing, Seller
shall cause to be in force fire and extended coverage insurance upon the Property,
and public liability insurance with respect to damage or injury to persons or
property occurring on the Property in at least such amounts as are maintained by
Seller on the Effective Date;
8.5.2 From the end of the Inspection Period through the date of Closing, Seller
will not enter into any new lease with respect to the Property, without Buyer’s
prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. Exercise of a
renewal option shall not be considered a new lease (“Renewed Lease”). Any tenant
improvement costs, allowances and brokerage commissions payable with respect to a
new lease or a Renewed Lease shall be paid by Buyer and if Seller has paid any such
costs prior to Closing, Seller shall receive a credit at Closing for such costs.
Further, Seller will not modify any existing Lease covering space in the Property
without first obtaining the written consent of Buyer which shall not be unreasonably
withheld, conditioned or delayed. Buyer shall have five (5) business days in which
to approve or disapprove of any new lease for which it has a right to consent.
Failure to respond in writing within said time period shall be deemed to be consent;
8.5.3 From the Effective Date through the date of Closing, Seller shall not
sell, assign, or convey any right, title or interest whatsoever in or to the
Property, or create or permit to attach any lien, security interest, easement,
encumbrance, charge, or condition affecting the Property (other than the Permitted
Exceptions) without promptly discharging the same prior to Closing; and
8.5.4 Seller shall not, without Buyer’s written approval, such approval not to
be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, (a) amend or waive any right under
any Service Contract, or (b) enter into any agreement of any type affecting the
Property that is not terminable on 30 days notice.
9. Representations and Warranties of Buyer. Buyer hereby represents and warrants to
Seller as follows:
9.1 Buyer is a limited liability company duly organized and validly existing under the
laws of the State of Delaware. Buyer has full power and authority to enter into this
Agreement, to perform this Agreement and to consummate the transactions
19
contemplated hereby. This Agreement is a legal, valid and binding obligation of Buyer,
enforceable against Buyer in accordance with its terms, subject to the effect of applicable
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, moratorium or other similar laws
affecting the rights of creditors generally.
9.2 Consents. The execution, delivery and performance by Buyer of this
Agreement, and all other agreements, instruments and documents referred to or contemplated
herein or therein do not require the consent, waiver, approval, license or authorization of
any person or public authority which has not been obtained and do not and will not
contravene or violate (with or without the giving of notice or the passage of time or both),
the organizational documents of Buyer or any judgment, injunction, order, law, rule or
regulation applicable to Buyer. Buyer is not a party to, or subject to or bound by, any
judgment, injunction or decree of any court or governmental authority or any lease,
agreement, instrument or document which may restrict or interfere with the performance by
Buyer of this Agreement, or such other leases, agreements, instruments and documents.
10. Conditions Precedent to Closing.
10.1 The obligations of Buyer pursuant to this Agreement shall, at the option of Buyer,
be subject to the following conditions precedent:
10.1.1 There shall be no material adverse change in the matters reflected in
the Title Report, and there shall not exist any material adverse encumbrance or
title defect affecting the Property except for the Permitted Exceptions or matters
to be satisfied at Closing.
10.1.2 Seller shall have obtained and delivered to Buyer estoppel certificates,
substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D, in accordance with their
respective Leases, from the following tenants (collectively, the “Required
Tenants”): (i) Boehringer Ingelheim Pharmaceuticals, Inc., (ii) Praxair, inc. and
(iii) Honeywell International, Inc. An estoppel certificate from a Required Tenant
shall be deemed to satisfy this condition precedent unless it discloses material
adverse matters inconsistent with the applicable Lease. Buyer shall notify Seller
within three (3) business days of receipt of a copy of the executed estoppel
certificate from a Required Tenant of its approval or disapproval and the basis of
such disapproval, if disapproved. If Buyer disapproves of an estoppel certificate
from a Required Tenant because of a material adverse matter disclosed therein that
is inconsistent with such Required Tenant’s Lease, and Seller is unable to obtain a
reasonably acceptable estoppel certificate from such Required Tenant prior to the
Closing, this Agreement shall, at Buyer’s option, terminate, Buyer shall be entitled
to a refund of the Deposit, and neither party shall have any further obligation to
the other except Buyer’s indemnification obligations under Paragraph 5. Seller
shall request the Required Tenants and each tenant of the Property to execute an
estoppel certificate and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain an
estoppel certificate from the Required Tenants and the other tenants of the
Property; provided, however,
20
the failure to obtain any estoppel certificate from tenants other than the
Required Tenants shall not entitle Buyer to terminate this Agreement.
If Buyer notifies Seller of a failure to satisfy the conditions precedent set forth in this
paragraph, Seller may, within five (5) days of receipt of Buyer’s notices agree to satisfy the
condition by written notice to Buyer, and Buyer shall thereupon be obligated to close the
transaction provided Seller so satisfies such condition. If Seller fails to agree to cure or fails
to cure such condition within such five day period and such condition is not waived by Buyer, this
Agreement shall be canceled and the Deposit shall be returned to Buyer and neither party shall have
any further liability hereunder.
11. Damage or Destruction Prior to Closing. In the event that the Property should be
damaged by any casualty prior to the Closing, then if the Closing shall proceed as scheduled and
any insurance proceeds shall be distributed to Buyer to the extent not expended by Seller for
restoration and Buyer shall be credited with any deductible under such insurance policies.
12. Eminent Domain.
12.1 If, before the Closing, proceedings are commenced for the taking by exercise of
the power of eminent domain of all or a material part of the Property which, as reasonably
determined by Buyer and Seller, would render the Property unacceptable to Buyer or
unsuitable for Buyer’s intended use, Buyer shall have the right, by giving notice to Seller
within thirty (30) days after Seller gives notice of the commencement of such proceedings to
Buyer, to terminate this Agreement, in which event this Agreement shall terminate, the
Deposit shall be returned to Buyer and neither party shall have any further obligation to
the other except for Buyer’s indemnification under Paragraph 5. If, before the Closing,
proceedings are commenced for the taking by exercise of the power of eminent domain of less
than such a material part of the Property, or if Buyer has the right to terminate this
Agreement pursuant to the preceding sentence but Buyer does not exercise such right, then
this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and, at the Closing, the condemnation
award (or, if not previously received, the right to receive such portion of the award)
payable on account of the taking shall be transferred in the same manner as title to the
Property is conveyed. Seller shall give notice to Buyer within three (3) business days
after Seller’s receiving notice of the commencement of any proceedings for the taking by
exercise of the power of eminent domain of all or any part of the Property.
21
13. Notices. All notices, demands, or other communications of any type given by any
party hereunder, whether required by this Agreement or in any way related to the transaction
contracted for herein, shall be void and of no effect unless given in accordance with the
provisions of this paragraph. All notices shall be in writing and delivered to the person to whom
the notice is directed, either in person, by telecopy or by reputable overnight delivery service.

14. Remedies.
14.1 Defaults by Seller. If there is any default by Seller under this
Agreement, following notice to Seller and seven (7) days, during which period Seller may
cure the default, Buyer may, as it sole options elect to either (a) declare this Agreement
terminated in which case the Deposit shall be returned to Buyer; or (b) treat this Agreement
as being in full force and effect and bring an action against Seller for specific
performance.
14.2 Defaults by Buyer. If there is any default by Buyer under this Agreement,
following notice to Buyer and seven (7) days, during which period Buyer may cure the
default, then Seller may, as its sole remedy, declare this Agreement terminated, in which
case the Deposit shall be paid to Seller as liquidated damages and each party shall
thereupon be relieved of all further obligations and liabilities, except any which survive
termination. In the event this Agreement is terminated due to the default of Buyer
hereunder, Buyer shall deliver to Seller, at no cost to Seller, the Due Diligence Items and
all of Buyer’s Reports.
14.3 WAVIER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH OF SELLER AND BUYER WAIVES TRIAL BY JURY IN
ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT BY EITHER PARTY HERETO AGAINST THE OTHER OR IN ANY
COUNTERCLAIM ASSERTED BY SELLER OR BY BUYER OR IN ANY MATTERS WHATSOEVER ARISING OUT OF OR
IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH THIS AGREEMENT.
15. Assignment. Buyer may assign its rights under this Agreement to an entity in
which Buyer has a legally controlling interest, provided, however, that Buyer shall have no such
right unless a written assignment is delivered to Seller no later than seven (7) business days
before Closing; and further provided that no such assignment shall relieve Buyer of its obligations
hereunder.
16. Interpretation and Applicable Law. This Agreement shall be construed and
interpreted in accordance with the laws of the state in which the Property is located (the
"State”). Where required for proper interpretation, words in the singular shall include the
plural; the masculine gender shall include the neuter and the feminine, and vice versa. The terms
“successors and assigns” shall include the heirs, administrators, executors, successors, and
assigns, as applicable, of any party hereto.
17. Amendment. This Agreement may not be modified or amended, except by an agreement
in writing signed by the parties. The parties may waive any of the conditions contained herein or
any of the obligations of the other party hereunder, but any such waiver shall be effective only if
in writing and signed by the party waiving such conditions and obligations.
23
18. Attorney’s Fees. In the event it becomes necessary for either party to file a
suit or arbitration to enforce this Agreement or any provisions contained herein, the prevailing
party shall be entitled to recover, in addition to all other remedies or damages, reasonable
attorneys’ fees and costs of court incurred in such suit or arbitration.
19. Entire Agreement; Survival. This Agreement (and the items to be furnished in
accordance herewith) constitutes the entire agreement between the parties pertaining to the subject
matter hereof and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements and understandings of the
parties in connection therewith. No representation, warranty, covenant, agreement, or condition
not expressed in this Agreement shall be binding upon the parties hereto nor affect or be effective
to interpret, change, or restrict the provisions of this Agreement. All of the obligations of the
parties hereunder and all other provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed to have merged into
the Deed and shall be extinguished at Closing or the earlier termination of this Agreement, except
as expressly provided herein.
20. Multiple Originals Only; Counterparts. Numerous agreements may be executed by the
parties hereto. Each such executed copy shall have the full force and effect of an original
executed instrument. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, all of which
when taken together shall constitute the entire agreement of the parties. In order to expedite the
transaction contemplated herein, telecopied or facsimile signatures may be used in place of
original signatures on this Agreement. Seller and Buyer intend to be bound by the signatures on
the telecopied document, are aware that the other party will rely on the telecopied signatures, and
hereby waive any defenses to the enforcement of the terms of this Agreement based on the form of
signature.
21. Acceptance. Time is of the essence of this Agreement. If the final date of any
period falls upon a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday under Federal law, the laws of the State or
the laws of the State of California, then in such event the expiration date of such period shall be
extended to the next day which is not a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday under Federal law, the
laws of the State or the State of California.
22. Real Estate Commission. Seller and Buyer each represent and warrant to the other
that neither Seller nor Buyer has contracted or entered into any agreement with any real estate
broker, agent, finder or any other party in connection with this transaction, and that neither
