Buyer shall obtain a title insurance commitment (“Commitment”) for an Owner’s Policy of Title Insurance from Escrow Agent (“Title Company”), covering the Real Property. During the Due Diligence Period (as defined in Section 3.2.1), Buyer may obtain an update of Seller’s existing ALTA survey of the Real Property prepared by Jordan Consulting Engineers, P.C. (“Existing Survey”) or Buyer’s own current ALTA Survey of the Property (“Updated Survey”; either of the Existing Survey or the Updated Survey is referred to herein as the “Survey”). No later than five (5) business days prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, Buyer shall notify Seller in writing of any title exceptions, exclusions from coverage, or other matters identified in the Commitment or the Survey that Buyer disapproves (other than any of the Permitted Encumbrances (as defined in Section 3.1.4), to which Buyer shall have no right to object) (“Title Objections”). Seller may, within three (3) business days after receipt of Buyer’s Title Objections deliver to Buyer written notice (“Seller’s Cure Notice”) setting forth any of Buyer’s Title Objections Seller will undertake to cure prior to Closing. If Seller has not delivered to Buyer Seller’s Cure Notice within such three (3) business-day period, Seller shall be deemed to have elected to not cure any of the Title Objections and Buyer shall have the right within two (2) business days of Seller’s Cure Notice (or the date Seller is deemed to have elected to not cure any of the Title Objections) to either: (i) terminate this Agreement by written notice to Seller and Escrow Agent; or (ii) proceed to Closing without reduction of the Purchase Price, in which event Buyer shall be deemed to have waived all of the Title Objections and such matters shall thereafter be deemed to be Permitted Encumbrances. If Buyer fails to provide notice terminating the Agreement as provided in the preceding sentence, Buyer shall be deemed to have elected clause (ii). If by Closing, Seller has not cured the Title Objections which Seller has in Seller’s Cure Notice elected to undertake to cure, Buyer may (as its sole and exclusive remedy), by written notice to Seller and Escrow Agent, terminate this Agreement; provided that if Seller’s failure to cure the Title Objections which Seller elected to cure in Seller’s Cure Notice is due to a willful or intentional act or failure to act of Seller, such failure shall be a default by Seller, and Buyer shall be entitled to the remedies set forth in Section 11.1 below. If Buyer fails to terminate this Agreement pursuant to the preceding sentence, Buyer shall be deemed to have waived such Title Objections, and such matters shall thereafter be deemed to be Permitted Encumbrances. In the event of a termination of this Agreement by Buyer under this Section, the Deposit shall be returned to Buyer and neither party shall have further obligations hereunder, except for those obligations expressly stated to survive the termination of this Agreement (“Surviving Obligations”).
3.1.2 With respect to any title or survey matters first arising after the expiration of the Due Diligence Period and prior to Closing (other than any of the Permitted Encumbrances, to which Buyer shall have no right to object) (“New Title Objection”), Buyer shall have until the earlier of: (i) five (5) business days after Buyer’s discovery of the New Title Objection; or (ii) the Closing Date to notify Seller in writing of Buyer’s
2
objection thereto. If Buyer shall timely notify Seller of the New Title Objection, Seller shall have the right, but not the obligation, to cure such objection(s) in its sole and absolute discretion. Within three (3) business days after receipt of Buyer’s notice of objection(s), with the Closing Date automatically extended, if necessary, to allow for such response period, Seller shall notify Buyer in writing whether Seller elects to attempt to cure such objection(s). Failure of Seller to give such notice within such three (3)-business day period shall be deemed an election by Seller not to cure such objection(s). If Seller elects or is deemed to have elected not to cure any objection(s) specified in Buyer’s notice, Buyer shall have the following options, to be given by written notice to Seller within two (2) business days after Buyer’s receipt of Seller’s notice electing not to cure such objection(s) (or, if Seller fails to deliver such notice, within two (2) business days after the day on which Seller was required to deliver such notice): (i) to accept a conveyance of the Property subject to the Permitted Encumbrances, specifically including any New Title Objections objected to by Buyer which Seller has elected, or is deemed to have elected, not to cure (which such matter(s) shall thereafter be deemed to be a Permitted Encumbrances), without reduction of the Purchase Price; or (ii) to terminate this Agreement by sending written notice thereof to Seller and Escrow Agent, and upon delivery of such notice of termination, this Agreement shall terminate and the Deposit shall be returned to Buyer, and thereafter neither party hereto shall have any further rights, obligations or liabilities hereunder except for the Surviving Obligations.
3.1.3 State of Title. Title to the Property shall be conveyed to Buyer free from all liens, encumbrances, encroachments, and other exceptions to title except the Permitted Encumbrances. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 3 to the contrary, Seller shall be obligated, at its sole cost and expense, to satisfy, at or prior to Closing, (i) the first lien deed of trust in favor of Alexander Title Agency, Inc. that encumbers the Property, to be released in connection with the defeasance described in Section 4 below, and (ii) all other monetary encumbrances affecting the Property in a total amount of Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000) or less, evidenced by deeds of trust, tax liens, judgments, mechanics’ liens and/or other liens or charges in a fixed sum arising by, through or under Seller, regardless of whether Buyer objects to such matters, and Seller authorizes the use of the Purchase Price or a portion thereof to pay and discharge the same at Closing; provided that the Purchase Price proceeds to be applied in satisfaction of the items described in (ii) above shall not exceed Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000). In the event that Buyer’s title examination reveals monetary encumbrances of the nature described in clause (ii) of the preceding sentence that Seller is unable to cure prior to the Closing Date, Seller may elect, in Seller’s sole and absolute discretion, to extend the Closing Date by up to fifteen (15) days by providing to Buyer written notice of such election to extend the Closing Date, which notice shall be delivered to Buyer no later than two (2) business days prior to the Closing Date, in order to attempt to cure any such monetary encumbrances.

11
established by good faith estimates obtained by Seller), as long as such damage or destruction does not result in a circumstance whereby a tenant may terminate its Lease or receive a rent abatement, this Agreement shall remain in force and Seller shall commence to repair any such damage prior to Closing, if possible, or, at Seller’s option, the provisions of Section 7.4 shall apply.
7.3 Substantial Damage. If prior to the Closing Date any portion of the Property is damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty, and the cost of repair or restoration thereof shall be more than $1,000,000 (as established by good faith estimates obtained by Seller), or the nature of such casualty results in a circumstance whereby a tenant under may terminate its Lease or receive a rent abatement, Buyer may within thirty (30) days after receipt of notice (“Damage Notice”) of such damage or destruction, terminate this Agreement by giving written notice thereof to Seller and Escrow Agent (“Buyer’s Notice of Election”), and if this Agreement is so terminated, then the Deposit shall be immediately refunded to Buyer, and thereafter neither party shall have any further liability hereunder thereafter, except for any Surviving Obligations.

Buyer shall deliver written notice of its election to Seller within twenty (20) days after the date upon which Buyer receives written notice of such eminent domain proceedings. If notice of such proceedings is received by Buyer and it fails to deliver such written notice of its election within such time period, such failure shall constitute a waiver by Buyer of its right to terminate this Agreement.

13
the Governmental Tenant’s interest; and (iv) if required by the Contracting Officer, completion by Buyer of a Central Contractor Registration and completion and execution of USG Form 3518, Representations and Certifications.
9.2.1.5.5 No later than five (5) business days prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall have obtained an estoppel certificate as to each restrictive covenant, declaration and/or reciprocal easement agreement of record as to the Property, which estoppel certificates shall: (i) be executed by each party entitled to enforce such document; (ii) confirm that such document is in full force and effect, unmodified except as revealed by the Commitment; (iii) confirm that there are no defaults by the Seller and/or the Property under such document; (iv) confirm that there are no outstanding sums owed by the Seller and/or the Property; (v) confirm that there are no outstanding construction or similar obligations of Seller and/or the Property; (vi) be dated no earlier than thirty (30) days prior to Closing; and (vii) be otherwise reasonably acceptable to Buyer.

THIS SECTION SETS FORTH BUYER’S EXCLUSIVE REMEDIES IN THE EVENT OF SELLER’S BREACH OF THIS AGREEMENT. Notwithstanding anything set forth herein to the contrary, if Buyer has funded the balance of the Purchase Price at Closing in accordance with this Agreement and Seller has defaulted, Buyer shall, if entitled, be promptly returned the balance of the Purchase Price from escrow; provided that in connection with any action for specific performance brought by Buyer, Buyer shall provide proof of immediately available funds or post any bond that may be required by the court or applicable law, in the amount of the balance of the Purchase Price, in connection with such action.
11.2 Default by Buyer. If Buyer shall default in the performance of its obligation to consummate the Closing under this Agreement, Seller, as its sole and exclusive remedy, may terminate this Agreement by written notice to Buyer and Escrow Agent, and thereupon shall be entitled to receive the Deposit as liquidated damages (and not a penalty) and whereupon this Agreement shall be terminated and neither party shall have any obligations hereunder other than the Surviving Obligations. IN CONNECTION WITH THE FOREGOING, THE PARTIES RECOGNIZE THAT SELLER WILL INCUR EXPENSES IN CONNECTION WITH THE TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT; AND FURTHER THAT IT IS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT AND IMPRACTICABLE TO ASCERTAIN THE EXTENT OF DETRIMENT TO SELLER CAUSED BY THE BREACH BY BUYER UNDER THIS AGREEMENT AND THE FAILURE OF THE CONSUMMATION OF THE TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT OR THE AMOUNT OF COMPENSATION SELLER SHOULD RECEIVE AS A RESULT OF BUYER’S DEFAULT, AND THAT THE DEPOSIT REPRESENTS THE PARTIES’ BEST CURRENT ESTIMATE OF SUCH DETRIMENT. NOTHING CONTAINED IN THIS SECTION SHALL IMPAIR ANY OF SELLER’S RIGHTS AND REMEDIES AGAINST BUYER FOR ANY OTHER PRE-CLOSING DEFAULT BY BUYER UNDER THIS AGREEMENT (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, BUYER’S DUE DILIGENCE INDEMNITY PURSUANT TO SECTION 3.2, OR BREACH OF CONFIDENTIALITY PURSUANT TO SECTION 18 BELOW).
16
12. PRORATIONS.
12.1 Items to be Prorated. The following items shall be prorated at Closing, as of the Closing Date (“Adjustment Date”):
12.1.1 Rents. Rents under the Leases, including cost-of-living increases, but excluding escalation charges for real estate taxes and operating expenses, maintenance charges, or other charges of a similar nature and any additional charges and expenses payable under the Leases (collectively, “CAM Charges”), which shall be the subject of subsection 12.1.2 below, all as and when actually collected (whether such collection occurs prior to, on or after the Closing Date). Buyer will receive a credit at Closing for all rents collected by Seller prior to the Closing Date and allocable to the period from and after the Closing Date based upon the actual number of days in the month. At Closing, Seller shall deliver to Buyer a schedule of delinquent rent. Until the date that is twelve (12) months after the Closing Date, Buyer shall include such delinquencies (or unpaid amounts) in its normal billing and shall pursue the collection thereof in good faith (but Buyer shall not be required to litigate or declare a default under any Lease or pursue any other action or remedy in connection with the recovery from tenants of such delinquencies or other unpaid amounts). To the extent Buyer receives payment of rent on or after the Closing Date, such payment shall be applied first toward the rent (or other tenant charge) for the month in which the Closing occurs, then to the rent owed to Buyer in connection with the applicable Lease, and then to any delinquent rents owed to Seller, with Seller’s share thereof being promptly delivered to Seller. Buyer may not waive any delinquent (or unpaid) rents or modify a Lease so as to reduce or otherwise affect amounts owed thereunder for any period in which Seller is entitled to receive a share of charges or amounts without first obtaining Seller’s written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. Seller hereby reserves the right to pursue any remedy for damages against any tenant owing delinquent rents and any other amounts to Seller (but shall not be entitled to terminate any Lease or any tenant’s right to possession). Buyer shall reasonably cooperate with Seller, at no material out-of-pocket cost to Buyer, in any collection efforts hereunder. With respect to delinquent or other uncollected rents and any other amounts or other rights of any kind respecting tenants who are no longer tenants of the Property as of the Closing Date, Seller shall retain all of the rights and obligations relating thereto. Buyer and Seller acknowledge and agree that the Governmental Tenant pays rents and other amounts due under its Lease (collectively, “VA Rents”) in arrears. Accordingly, Buyer and Seller anticipate that the VA Rents will not be apportioned as of the Closing because the VA Rents for the month of the Closing will not have been collected as of the Closing Date. Furthermore, Buyer and Seller acknowledge and agree that the Governmental Tenant may continue to pay the VA Rents to Seller until such time as the Governmental Tenant has executed and delivered the applicable Novation Agreement for the Governmental Tenant’s Lease. Accordingly, (a) Buyer shall receive a credit at Closing in an amount equal to the rent payable under the Governmental Tenant’s Lease in the month during which Closing occurs, prorated based on the number of days remaining in the month, plus an amount equal to the rent payable under the Governmental Tenant’s Lease for the first month following Closing (“Governmental Rent Credits”), (b) Seller shall be entitled to retain any VA Rents received by Seller after Closing which were the subject of the Governmental Rent Credits, and (c) Seller agrees to maintain all existing accounts into which the Governmental Tenant may be depositing VA Rents until such time as the applicable Novation Agreement is signed and the Governmental Tenant begins paying the VA Rents directly to Buyer. VA Rents collected by either party after Closing shall be held in trust and paid over to the party entitled thereto under this Section 12.1.1 within five (5) business days after receipt thereof.
12.1.2 CAM Charges. To the extent the Leases provide that the Tenants thereunder are required to reimburse the lessor for a portion of operating and maintenance expenses of the Property, real estate taxes and insurance premiums (collectively, “CAM Charges”) for such periods as are set forth in the respective Leases, Seller and Buyer agree that such CAM Charges shall be prorated as of the Closing Date utilizing Seller’s actual 2016 monthly CAM Charges. Seller and Buyer agree to re-prorate CAM Charges upon Buyer’s completion of its 2016-year end CAM Charges reconciliation for the Leases (estimated to be end of March, 2017). To facilitate such process, Seller shall provide to Buyer promptly after Closing a written accounting of Seller’s invoices relating to CAM Charges, and receipts from Tenant collections of CAM Charges, for the period between January 1, 2016 and the Closing Date, and in February, 2017, Buyer shall provide to Seller a written accounting of Buyer’s invoices relating to CAM Charges and collections of CAM Charges from Tenants for the period between the Closing Date and December 31, 2016. Buyer shall deliver a copy of the 2016 year-end CAM Charges reconciliation to Seller by March 31, 2017. Seller will pay to Buyer its pro rata share of any CAM Charges refund due to Tenants by April 30,
17
2017, and Buyer will pay to Seller its pro rata share of any CAM Charges payments due by Tenants. The obligations of the parties under this Section 12.1.2 shall survive Closing.
12.1.3 Taxes. Real estate and personal property taxes, if any, on the basis of the fiscal year for which assessed. If the Closing shall occur before the tax rate or assessment is fixed, the apportionment of such real estate and personal property taxes at the Closing shall be upon the basis of the tax rate for the next preceding year applied to the latest assessed valuation. Final adjustment will be made upon the actual tax amount, when determined. If after the Closing there is any retroactive increase in the real or personal property taxes or assessments imposed of the Property: (1) if such increase relates to the tax year in which the Closing occurred, then such increase shall be prorated by Seller and Buyer on a per diem basis based on their respective periods of ownership during their period to which such increase applies, (2) if such increase relates to any tax year subsequent to the tax year which the Closing occurred, then such increase shall be the obligation of Buyer, and (3) if such increase relates to any tax year prior to the tax year in which the Closing occurred, then such increase shall be the obligation of Seller. Any and all refunds, credits, claims or rights to appeal respecting the amount of any real property taxes or other taxes or assessments charged in connection with the Property for any period after Closing shall belong to Buyer following the Closing, except that Seller shall be entitled to receive any refunds applicable to the period prior to Closing. The obligations of the parties under this Section 12.1.3 shall survive Closing for a period of twelve (12) months.
12.1.4 Water, Sewer and Electric Charges. Buyer shall arrange to have water, sewer and electric power services accounts become effective as of the Closing Date, and Seller shall arrange for such accounts in its name to be terminated as of 11:59 p.m. the day before the Closing Date, and each party shall be responsible for the payment of all charges to its own account.
12.1.5 Assigned Contracts. Amounts paid or payable in respect of any service and maintenance contracts assigned to Buyer in accordance herewith.
12.2 Utility Deposits. Seller shall be entitled to pursue the refund of any utility deposits it has made with respect to the Property. Buyer shall make any utility deposits that may be required in connection with Buyer’s ownership and operation of the Property.
12.3 Custom and Practice. Except as set forth in this Agreement, the customs of the state and County in which the Premises are located shall govern prorations.
12.4 Security Deposits, Rent Concessions, Tenant Improvement Allowances and Other Tenant Credits. Buyer shall receive a credit at Closing from the Seller in the amount of the sum of: (i) the tenant deposits under the Leases; (ii) any and all rent concessions and/or rent abatements which related to the current terms of the Leases and are unpaid, unapplied and/or unutilized; (iii) any and all tenant improvement allowances which relate to the current terms of the Leases and are unpaid, unapplied and/or unutilized; and (iv) the cost, as estimated by the parties in their reasonable discretion, of any and all non-monetary tenant inducement obligations of the Seller, as landlord or lessor under the Leases, which relate to the current terms of the Leases (e.g., painting and carpeting) and are unperformed.
12.5 New Leases and Amendments. If Closing shall be consummated hereunder, Buyer shall be responsible for all tenant improvement costs, commissions, allowances or similar leasing expenses incurred in connection with a lease or any extension, renewal, or expansion to any existing lease entered into with the approval of Buyer after the Effective Date (a “New Lease”), subject to the proration described below. At Closing, Seller shall receive a credit for all approved costs expended by Seller under such New Lease from and after such date until the Closing Date, subject to the proration described below. If the payment of rent commences under any New Lease prior to Closing, the tenant improvement costs, commissions, allowances or similar leasing expenses incurred in connection with such New Lease shall be prorated between Seller and Buyer based on their periods of ownership.
12.6 Leasing Commissions. All leasing commissions for all the Leases have been paid in full, except with respect to the Lease with the Governmental Tenant. If the Lease with the Governmental Tenant is not terminated pursuant to the right of the tenant thereunder by July 31, 2020 (the last day of the first five years of the initial lease term), a commission for the remaining five years of the initial lease term shall be due and payable to
18
Pavilion Properties, LLC, as provided therein. Seller shall be responsible for the payment of any such commission, and shall deliver at Closing an executed waiver from Pavilion Properties, LLC, of any right to assert any claim or lien for such commission against Buyer, tenant or the Property, which waiver must be reasonably satisfactory to Buyer and the Title Company. The provisions of this Section 12.6 shall survive Closing.
12.7 Application of Prorations. If such prorations result in a payment due Buyer, the cash payable at Closing shall be reduced by such sum. If such prorations result in a payment due Seller, the same shall be paid by uncertified check or wire at Closing.
12.8 Schedule of Prorations. The parties shall endeavor to jointly prepare a schedule of prorations for the Property no less than two (2) days prior to Closing; provided that Seller timely provides all available information necessary to prepare such prorations. To the extent that Seller does not timely deliver this information, Buyer shall have the right, but not the obligation, to extend the Closing Date by the number of days Seller is delinquent in delivering such information. The Escrow Agent shall prepare and deliver to Seller and Buyer as soon as practicable an estimated closing statement which shall set forth all costs payable, and the prorations and credits provided for 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 subsection. Buyer and Seller shall notify the Escrow Agent and each other of any items which they dispute and the parties shall attempt in good faith to reconcile any differences not later than one (1) day before the Closing Date.
12.9 Readjustments. The parties shall correct any errors in prorations as soon after the Closing as amounts are finally determined.
12.10 Survival. Except as otherwise set forth in this Section 12, the obligations under this Section 12 shall survive Closing for a period of eighteen (18) months.
13. BROKERS. Each party hereby represents and warrants to the other that it has not employed or retained any broker or finder in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, except CBRE Healthcare Capital Markets (“Broker”), who represents Seller in this transaction, and that neither has had any dealings with any other person or party that may entitle that person or party to a fee or commission other than Broker. Each party shall indemnify the other of and from any claims for commissions by any other person or party claiming such commission by or through the indemnifying party. Seller shall pay any fees or commission due to Broker pursuant to a separate agreement between Seller and Broker, when and if Closing occurs.
14. ESCROW AGENT. The parties hereto have requested that the Deposit be held in escrow by Escrow Agent to be applied at the Closing or prior thereto in accordance with this Agreement. Escrow Agent shall deliver the Deposit to Seller or to Buyer, as the case may be, under the following conditions:
14.1 Payment to Seller. To Seller on the Closing Date upon the consummation of Closing.
14.2 Payment to Buyer. To Buyer within three (3) business days after receipt of Buyer’s termination notice delivered to Seller and Escrow Agent before the expiration of the Due Diligence Period. No notice to Escrow Agent from Seller shall be required for the release of the Deposit to Buyer by Escrow Agent under Section 3.2.3, and the Deposit shall be released and delivered to Buyer upon Escrow Agent’s receipt of Buyer’s confirmation of termination of the Agreement pursuant to Section 3.2.3, despite any objection or potential objection by Seller.
14.3 Payment to a Party. To a party as specified in a document signed by Seller and Buyer or their attorneys.
14.4 Notice of Dispute. If either Seller or Buyer believes that it is entitled to the Deposit or any part thereof, it shall make written demand therefor upon Escrow Agent. Escrow Agent shall promptly mail a copy thereof to the other party in the manner specified in Section 15.1. The other party shall have the right to object to the delivery of the Deposit, by filing written notice of such objections with Escrow Agent at any time within ten (10) days after receipt of such copy in the manner specified in Section 15.1, but not thereafter. Such notice shall set
19
forth the basis for objection to the delivery of the Deposit. Upon receipt of such notice, Escrow Agent shall promptly deliver a copy thereof to the party who filed the written demand.
14.5 Escrow Subject to Dispute. If Escrow Agent shall have received the notice of objection provided for in Section 14.4 in the manner and within the time therein prescribed, Escrow Agent shall continue to hold the Deposit until: (i) Escrow Agent receives written notice from both Seller and Buyer directing the disbursement of the Deposit in which case Escrow Agent shall then disburse the Deposit in accordance with such direction; or (ii) litigation arises between Seller and Buyer, in which event Escrow Agent shall deposit the Deposit with the Clerk of the Court in which such litigation is pending; or (iii) Escrow Agent takes such affirmative steps as Escrow Agent may, at Escrow Agent’s option elect in order to terminate Escrow Agent’s duties including, but not limited to, deposit in Court and an action for interpleader.
14.6 Escrow Agent’s Rights and Liabilities. Escrow Agent shall not be required to determine questions of fact or law, and may act upon any instrument or other writing believed by it in good faith to be genuine and to be signed and presented by the proper person, and shall not be liable in connection with the performance of any duties imposed upon Escrow Agent by the provisions of this Agreement, except for Escrow Agent’s own willful default or gross negligence. Escrow Agent shall have no duties or responsibilities except those set forth herein. Escrow Agent shall not be bound by any modification of this Agreement, unless the same is in writing and signed by Buyer and Seller, and, if Escrow Agent’s duties hereunder are affected, unless Escrow Agent shall have given prior written consent thereto. If Escrow Agent shall be uncertain as to Escrow Agent’s duties or rights hereunder, or shall receive instructions from Buyer or Seller which, in Escrow Agent’s opinion, are in conflict with any of the provisions hereof, Escrow Agent shall be entitled to hold and apply the Deposit and may decline to take any other action.

18.1 All information furnished to Buyer and Buyer Representatives (defined below) by or on behalf of Seller, irrespective of the form of the communication and whether such information has previously been furnished, is now furnished or is furnished in the future, and any analyses, compilations, and/or other documents prepared by Buyer or Buyer Representatives containing or based in whole or in part on any such furnished information, whether or not such information is explicitly designated as “confidential”, including, without limitation, all Seller Materials, and any financial information, letters of intent, proposals, surveys, sketches, plans, drawings, reports, rent rolls, memoranda and notes, is collectively referred to as “Confidential Information”. In addition to the foregoing, Buyer agrees that the Confidential Information shall include, and neither Buyer nor Buyer Representatives shall, without the prior written consent of Seller, disclose to any other person, prior to Closing, either: (i) the fact that any investigations, discussions or negotiations are taking place concerning the transaction contemplated herein; or (ii) that Buyer and/or any of Buyer Representatives have received the Confidential Information from Seller; or (iii) that Confidential Information has been made available by Buyer. The term “person” as used in this Section shall be interpreted broadly to include any corporation, group, partnership or other entity or individual.
18.2 With respect to Confidential Information, Buyer shall: (i) receive and hold any and all Confidential Information in strict confidence; (ii) not discuss, disclose, disseminate, produce, publish, permit access to or reveal any Confidential Information to anyone except as is reasonably necessary to further the discussions of the transaction contemplated herein, and shall advise its employees, officers, directors, advisors, consultants, accountants, legal counsel, lenders and prospective lenders, and agents of any kind, including real estate agents and/or brokers, who receive any of the Confidential Information (“Buyer Representatives” and each, “Buyer Representative”) of its confidential nature and cause them to maintain the confidentiality thereof and use such Confidential Information only in accordance with this Section. Each Buyer Representative given access to any such Confidential Information must have a legitimate “need-to-know” and shall be similarly bound for Seller’s benefit. Buyer shall be absolutely responsible for any failure by any of Buyer Representatives to comply with the obligations under this Section, and any such failure by any Buyer Representative shall constitute a breach of this Section by Buyer; (iii) employ appropriate safeguards and use reasonable efforts to prevent unauthorized disclosure of the Confidential Information; (iv) promptly notify Seller of any unauthorized disclosure or use of Confidential Information; and (v) prior to Closing, direct all requests by Buyer or any Buyer Representative for Confidential Information and meetings with Seller’s employees or representatives, to the contacts below (“Contacts”):

18.3 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section, Confidential Information shall not include information that: (i) is already public knowledge or becomes public knowledge through no fault, action or inaction of Buyer; (ii) Buyer is compelled or required by applicable law or administrative or legal process to disclose, provided: (A) Buyer furnishes written notice to Seller regarding the required disclosure promptly upon receipt of notice of the required disclosure; (B) if requested by Buyer, Buyer fully cooperates with Seller in seeking a protective order or otherwise preventing or limiting such disclosure; and (C) if disclosure is still required following compliance with subsection (B) above, Buyer makes no disclosure in excess of such required disclosure; or (iii) was rightfully in Buyer’s possession without restriction prior to receipt from Seller or was independently developed by Buyer without the use of any Confidential Information, and such possession and/or independent development can be demonstrated by written evidence.
18.4 If this Agreement is not consummated or otherwise terminated, Buyer shall return the Confidential Information and all copies, extracts, notes and other objects or items, whether in tangible or intangible form, containing the Confidential Information and certify in writing that all such Confidential Information and all copies, extracts, notes and other objects or items have been so returned. Upon any actual or threatened violation of
23
this Section by Buyer or Buyer Representatives, Seller shall be entitled to preliminary and other injunctive relief against such violation without posting of a bond, in addition to any other rights or remedies that Seller may have at law or in equity. If either party prevails in any action to enforce the provisions of this Section, the prevailing party shall be entitled to all reasonable costs and attorneys’ fees.
18.5 Intentionally Deleted.
18.6 Intentionally Deleted.
18.7 No party, nor their representatives, will make any public disclosure or press release regarding the transaction contemplated by this Agreement without the consent of the other party, except as required by law or as otherwise expressly as provided herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any press release or other public disclosure regarding this Agreement or the transactions contemplated herein, and the wording of same, must be approved in advance by both parties, provided, however, Seller shall, on and after Closing, have the right, without Buyer’s consent, to include general information related to this transaction (but excluding specific terms related to such transaction) in: (i) press releases; and (ii) other disclosures required to be made by Seller by applicable laws, regulations or any requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The provisions of this Section will survive Closing or, if the purchase and sale is not consummated, shall survive any termination of this Agreement.
18.8 Notwithstanding anything set forth herein to the contrary, Seller acknowledges that it is Buyer’s intention that the ultimate acquirer be a subsidiary of a corporation that is or intends to qualify as a real estate investment trust and that, as such, it is subject to certain filing and reporting requirements in accordance with federal laws and regulations, including but not limited to, regulations promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, and notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement or the provisions of any other existing agreement between the parties hereto to the contrary, Buyer may publically file, disclose, report or publish any and all information related to this transaction that may be reasonably interpreted as being required by federal law or regulation.
18.9 This Section supersedes any prior agreements between Buyer and Seller or its affiliates with respect to Seller’s Confidential Information.
19. TAX DEFERRED EXCHANGE. Seller may elect to effectuate a “like-kind exchange” pursuant to Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code (including, without limitation, a so-called “drop and swap” transaction) (an “Exchange”); provided that (a) the Closing shall not be delayed or affected by reason of the Exchange nor shall the consummation or accomplishment of any Exchange be a condition precedent or condition subsequent to a party’s obligations under this Agreement; (b) any party desiring an Exchange shall effect its Exchange through an assignment of this Agreement, or its rights under this Agreement, to a qualified intermediary and the other party shall not be required to take an assignment of the purchase agreement for the relinquished or replacement property or be required to acquire or hold title to any real property for purposes of consummating such Exchange. Buyer shall fully cooperate, at no out-of-pocket, third-party expense, with Seller in effectuating any like-kind exchange. Seller’s and Buyer’s effectuation of a like-kind exchange prior to any closing shall not be a condition or contingency to such parties’ obligations hereunder. Seller shall be responsible for all of Seller’s costs and expenses incurred in connection with the effectuation of a like-kind exchange. Seller shall indemnify and hold harmless Buyer from any and all losses, costs, expenses, and damages associated with the participation in the exchange transaction.
20. EXCLUSIVITY. From and after the Effective Date, Seller and its respective agents, representatives and employees shall immediately cease all marketing of the Property until such time as this Agreement is terminated and Seller shall not directly or indirectly make, accept, negotiate, entertain or otherwise pursue any offers for the sale of the Property.
21. POST-CLOSING ESCROW. At Closing, the Escrow Agent shall hold back the sum of Three Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($300,000.00) from the Purchase Price proceeds to be placed in escrow for a period beginning on the Closing Date and expiring twelve (12) months after the Closing Date pursuant to an escrow agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit G, which funds shall be used to satisfy surviving post-Closing obligations of Seller under this Agreement and/or any documents executed by Seller and delivered to Buyer at
24
Closing, including, but not limited to, indemnifying Buyer for any breach by Seller of Seller’s representations and warranties contained in this Agreement and/or any documents executed by Seller and delivered to Buyer at Closing. The provisions of this Section 21 shall survive Closing.
