Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event Purchaser actually takes title to the Real Property, Purchaser hereby assumes all risk and agrees that Seller shall not be liable to Purchaser (or Purchaser’s successors and assigns) for, and Purchaser hereby expressly waives any claims it may have now or in the future against Seller on account of, any special, direct, indirect, consequential or other damages resulting or arising from or relating to the ownership, use, condition, location, maintenance, repair or operation of the Property, except and to the extent, only, expressly set forth herein.

ARTICLE IV
TITLE AND SURVEY MATTERS
4.1 As evidence of title, Purchaser shall, at its sole cost and expense, obtain the Title Commitment within 15 days after the Effective Date and Purchaser shall obtain the Survey.

4.2 If written objections to title to the Real Property (with reasonable specificity) are made by or on behalf of Purchaser within 15 days after the date on which the Title Commitment has been delivered to Purchaser (or, the date the same is deemed obtained by Purchaser, as provided above) that title to the Real Property is not acceptable to Purchaser in its commercially reasonable judgment, Seller may, within 15 days following the date that it receives written notice of such objections, provide Purchaser with a revised Title Commitment evidencing that such objections have been remedied and/or that at Closing the Title Company shall insure over the same, provided, however, Seller shall have no obligation to effect the remedy of any such objections or to obtain any such insurance or to provide any such revised Title Commitment with the exception that Seller shall, at Closing, effect the discharge or release or otherwise cause the Title Company to insure over any lien against the Real Property securing financing to which Seller is a party. If Seller is unable or unwilling to effect a remedy thereof and/or to obtain such revised Title Commitment within such 15 day period, Purchaser shall have the option (a) to proceed with the purchase of the Property, in which event the Permitted Exceptions shall be deemed to include such objections; or (b) to terminate this Agreement and receive a refund of the Deposit, in full termination of any and all liabilities and rights of Purchaser and Seller under this Agreement (except those expressly provided herein to survive such termination) by delivery of notice of termination to Seller within 5 days after the earlier of (i) the date that Seller advises Purchaser in writing that Seller is unable or unwilling to remedy such objections, and (ii) the end of Seller’s 15-day period for remedying any such objections.

Neither Purchaser nor any of its affiliates, nor any of their respective partners, members, shareholders or other equity owners, and none of their respective employees, officers, directors, representatives or agents, is a person or entity with whom U.S. persons or entities are restricted from doing business under regulations of OFAC (including those named on the List) or under any statute, executive order (including the Order), or other governmental action.
7.4 Purchaser’s obligation to close the transaction contemplated hereby is conditioned on all of the following, any or all of which may be expressly waived by Purchaser in writing, at its sole option:
(a) Representations. Subject to the provisions of Article VII, all representations and warranties made by Seller in this Agreement shall be true and correct in all material respects on and as of the Closing Date, as if made on and as of such date except to the extent that they expressly relate to an earlier date.
(b) Estoppel Certificates and SNDAs. Purchaser shall have received executed estoppel certificates (not alleging any then ongoing default of the landlord under the applicable Lease and confirming all material business terms and conditions in the applicable Lease) and a subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement (individually, an “SNDA” and collectively, the “SNDAs”) from Food Lion, CVS, Dollar General, Dunkin Donuts, Bank of Xxxx Burnie, Gunnings and Pro P.T. (collectively, the “Major Tenants”) in the forms attached hereto as Exhibit 7.4(b) and
11
incorporated herein by reference or as may otherwise be required under the applicable Leases of the Major Tenants, the same to be dated no earlier than forty-five (45) days prior to the Closing Date and Purchaser shall have received (i) estoppel certificates (not alleging any then ongoing default of the landlord under the applicable Leases) from Tenants occupying 75% of the balance of the leased area of the Real Property (other than the Major Tenants) in the form attached as Exhibit 7.4(b), and (ii) subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreements from all such other Tenants of the Real Property (other than the Major Tenants) as required by Purchaser’s intended mortgagee and, to the extent, and only to the extent, called for under the applicable Leases, in the form required by Purchaser’s intended mortgagee or as may otherwise be called for under the applicable Leases. All such executed estoppel certificates and SNDAs shall be delivered to Purchaser prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period. To the extent that Purchaser does not terminate this Agreement prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period, and to the extent any of such estoppel certificates shall not have been obtained and delivered to Purchaser prior to Closing, then, at Closing, Seller shall provide a so-called “Seller estoppel” with respect to the Leases and Tenants for which no such estoppel certificate was obtained and the condition precedent calling for delivery of such estoppel certificates shall be deemed satisfied, provided that, Purchaser shall not be obligated to accept such a Seller estoppel with respect to the Leases of the Major Tenants, and to the extent the same have not been obtained and delivered prior to Closing, such condition precedent shall not be deemed to have been satisfied. All Seller estoppels shall be subject to the limitations set forth in Section 7.1(c) above.
(c) No Termination of the Leases of the Major Tenants; Material Environmental Condition Subsequent to Inspection Period. The Leases of the Major Tenants shall not have been terminated between the expiration of the Inspection Period and Closing, and there shall not have been any occurrence subsequent to the Inspection Period (caused by parties other than Purchaser) which shall have caused a material adverse environmental condition (i.e., an environmental condition where applicable environmental laws have been violated and whereby the reasonably estimated cost of cure exceeds $100,000.00) to have occurred on the Real Property between the expiration of the Inspection Period and the Closing (the foregoing shall not be deemed to include any condition existing upon the Real Property during the Inspection Period but not discovered until thereafter; it being the intention of the parties that the condition giving rise to the material adverse environmental condition shall have initially arisen or occurred subsequent to the Inspection Period).
In the event that as of Closing, any one or more of the foregoing conditions precedent shall not be satisfied or waived by Purchaser, this Agreement shall terminate and the Evaluation Materials, if any then in existence, shall be delivered to Seller. Upon such termination, in the event the Evaluation Materials had not then been delivered to Seller, to the extent there are then Evaluation Materials to deliver, $175,000.00 of the Deposit shall immediately be refunded to Purchaser, with the balance of the Deposit being refunded to Purchaser upon delivery of the Evaluation Materials. In the event there are no Evaluation Materials to be delivered, the entirety of the Deposit shall be refunded to Purchaser immediately after such termination. Upon delivery of the Evaluation Materials to Seller, to the extent there are Evaluation Materials to be delivered, or immediately upon termination if there are no Evaluation Materials to be delivered, Purchaser shall be relieved of any and all liability under this Agreement except for those expressly intended to survive the termination hereof.

8.8 Seller shall execute and deliver such affidavit as the Title Company may reasonably require to remove its standard printed exceptions relating to, among other things, construction liens and rights of parties in possession, but not with respect to matters of survey.
8.9 Seller shall deliver to Purchaser a notice to the Tenants of the change of ownership of the Property in the form of Exhibit 8.9 attached hereto and made a part hereof.
8.10 Seller shall deliver to the Title Company an affidavit stating that Seller is not a “Foreign Person” within the meaning of the Internal Revenue Code.
8.11 Seller and Purchaser shall execute and deliver into escrow counterparts of the Closing Statement showing the amounts by which the Purchase Price shall be adjusted as of the Closing Date and in the following manner:
(a) Purchaser shall the search and exam fees for issuance of the Title Commitment. Purchaser shall pay the premium for the Title Insurance Policy and any endorsements to the Title Insurance Policy required by Purchaser (other than curative endorsements obtained by Seller to cure a title objection raised by Purchaser, which shall be paid by Seller) and the cost of the Survey. The parties shall split equally the State of Maryland recordation tax, the State of Maryland transfer tax and the Xxxx
13
Arundel County transfer tax. Purchaser shall pay for all lease build out expenses, attorneys fees and brokerage commissions with respect to any leases of the Real Property executed and delivered by Seller from and after the Effective Date.
(b) The parties shall prorate Taxes in accordance with local custom for commercial real estate transactions involving property in the county in which the Property is located. Under such local custom: (i) such taxes are prorated on a fiscal year of July 1 of one year through June 30 of the following year; (ii) the tax xxxx is issued on July 1 and is payable in full on or before September 30 of each year; (iii) all tax bills with respect to the Real Property due and payable as of Closing shall be paid by Seller; and (iv) the tax xxxx for the fiscal year in which Closing shall occur shall be paid by Seller (even if not then due and payable—i.e., Closing is to occur before September 30 of the applicable year) and Purchaser shall reimburse Seller shall for an amount which is the product of (A) the number of days from and after Closing until and including the following June 30, and (B) the quotient of the tax xxxx issued for the July 1 immediately preceding Closing (or the tax bills, if more than one parcel) and 365.
(c) Purchaser shall receive credit for all security deposits currently held by Seller on the Closing Date (including all interest earned thereon if required by applicable laws) which Seller is required to have in its possession or control pursuant to the terms of any of the Leases.
(d) Seller shall pay all water, sewer, and utility charges, common area maintenance charges, and other operating expenditures through the day before the Closing Date. If final readings have not been taken, estimated charges shall be prorated between the parties and appropriate credits given, and post-closing adjustments shall be made when the actual xxxxxxxx are received.
(e) Rentals paid by Tenants and received by Seller prior to the Closing Date shall be prorated between the parties with rentals applicable to the period from and after the Closing Date allocated to Purchaser. After the Closing Date, Purchaser shall use good faith best efforts to collect from Tenants any delinquent rents and other charges due Seller and such rents and other charges shall remain the property of Seller and Seller shall retain the right to pursue collection thereof including the right to commence suit thereon (but not the right to commence suit for eviction or termination of the Leases). To the extent that, after the Closing Date, Purchaser actually receives payment from Tenants of the delinquent rents and charges pertaining to the time periods prior to Closing, Purchaser shall remit such payments to Seller within ten (10) days after Purchaser’s receipt thereof, provided, however, all Tenants’ payments shall first be applied to amounts due at the time of collection (e.g., then due rental). Until collected or the expiration of the 12th full calendar month after Closing, Purchaser shall provide to Seller on or before the 10th day of each such calendar month a written statement of its collections with respect to rents and other charges which are delinquent as of Closing. If any delinquent rents for the month of Closing are actually received by Seller, Purchaser’s prorata share thereof shall be remitted to Purchaser within ten (10) days after Seller’s receipt thereof.
(f) To the extent the Leases provide that Tenants are required to reimburse the lessor for a portion of operating and maintenance expenses of the Real Property for such periods as are set forth in the Leases, Seller and Purchaser agree that these expenses shall be prorated as of the Closing Date and, to the extent that any of the expense items can be determined as of the Closing Date, those expense items shall be prorated and resolved between the parties to the extent paid by the Tenants prior to Closing by Purchaser paying to Seller the amount of such reimbursements due Seller at Closing or Purchaser receiving a credit for any expense items prepaid to and retained by Seller for any period from and after the Closing Date. To the extent such not paid by the Tenants as of Closing, the same shall be paid to Seller within 10 days after collection thereof by Purchaser after Closing, with Purchaser using good faith efforts to collect the same after Closing. With respect to those expense items for which sufficient
14
information will not be available on the Closing Date to calculate a monetary proration as of Closing, Purchaser agrees to invoice the Tenants for and collect those reimbursement expenses and remit to Seller, within 10 days after Purchaser’s receipt thereof, Seller’s pro rata share of such expenses together with a written accounting of Purchaser’s invoices and receipts and its proration calculations. Purchaser shall use good faith best efforts to collect from the Tenants the expense reimbursements due to Seller and shall remit same to Seller within ten (10) days after Purchaser’s receipt thereof.
(g) Reimbursements received from Tenants by Seller or Purchaser of amounts paid for Taxes shall be prorated between the parties in the manner hereinabove provided for the proration of Taxes.
(h) Any closing costs not described in clauses (a) - (g) above shall be paid by Purchaser. Each party shall pay its respective attorneys’, consultants’ and advisory services fees.
(i) Seller shall pay all costs associated with the early payoff of its mortgage loan encumbering the Property, including, but not limited to, any applicable prepayment premium.
8.13 No Assumption of Seller Debts. The parties acknowledge that the purchase and sale of the Property involves only the purchase and sale of the Property and that Seller is not selling a business nor do the parties intend that Purchaser be deemed a successor of Seller with respect to any liabilities of Seller to any third parties other than the tenants under the Leases. Accordingly, Purchaser shall neither assume nor be liable for the Seller Debts (defined below) or any of the debts, liabilities, taxes or obligations of, or claims against any other person or entity, of any kind or nature, whether existing now, upon Closing or at any time thereafter, which shall be solely those of Seller, and Seller hereby agrees to indemnify Purchaser against any liability with respect thereto. For purposes hereof, the “Seller Debts” shall mean the debts, liabilities, taxes, obligations and claims for which Seller alone is liable and shall include (a) all payments and benefits to past and/or present employees of Seller in connection with the business being conducted on or from the Property as may have accrued through Closing, (including, but not limited to, salaries, wages, commissions, bonuses, vacation pay, health and welfare contributions, pensions, profit sharing, severance or termination pay, or any other form of compensation or fringe benefit), (b) obligations of Seller under any Leases or occupancy agreements accruing prior to Closing, unless specifically assumed by Purchaser, and (c) obligations of Seller under the Contracts, unless specifically assumed by Purchaser.
8.14 Original Leases and Guaranties. Within one business day after Closing, Seller shall deliver, via overnight delivery service, to Purchaser originals of the Leases and guaranties thereof, to the extent in Seller’s possession. To the extent not in Seller’s possession, certified copies (certified to the best of Seller’s knowledge) shall be delivered in lieu thereof.
ARTICLE IX
DAMAGE
In the event that any improvements located upon the Real Estate shall be damaged or destroyed by fire, storm or other casualty before the Closing Date and the cost to repair such casualty shall exceed $500,000.00, then Purchaser shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by providing to Seller a written notice of termination within fifteen (15) days after receiving written notice from Seller of such fire, storm or other casualty (and Seller shall provide to Purchaser such written notice within 15 days after the occurrence thereof) and upon such termination, anything herein contained to the contrary notwithstanding, and, the Deposit shall be refunded to Purchaser. In the event Purchaser shall not elect to
15
terminate this Agreement or in the event Purchaser fails timely to terminate this Agreement pursuant to the foregoing or in the event of any damage or destruction to such improvements the cost of repair for which is less than $500,000.00 (for which no termination right shall apply under this Article IX), Purchaser shall be entitled to receive at Closing an absolute assignment from Seller of any interest Seller may have otherwise had in the proceeds of any insurance on the Property (including any rent loss insurance allocable to the period from and after the Closing Date) less any reasonable costs incurred by Seller in securing such proceeds and/or adjusting the loss and/or in undertaking any required repairs and Purchaser shall proceed with the Closing on the Property in its then “as-is” condition with no reduction in the Purchase Price. In such event, Purchaser shall receive a credit against the Purchase Price at Closing in an amount equal to the deductible under any such insurance. During the period up through Closing, Seller shall maintain such casualty insurance on the improvements on the Real Estate as is required under Seller’s first mortgage on the Real Estate.
ARTICLE X
CONDEMNATION
10.1 In the event that, between the Effective Date and the Closing Date, any condemnation or eminent domain proceedings are initiated which would result in the taking of any “material part” (as hereinafter defined) of the Real Property, Purchaser may:
(a) terminate this Agreement by providing written notice to Seller and receive a refund of the Deposit (within the time periods provided for in Section 10.2 below); or
(b) proceed with the Closing, in which event Seller shall assign to Purchaser at Closing all of Seller’s right, title and interest in and to any award made in connection with any such condemnation or eminent domain proceedings, with the Property being in its then “as is” condition with no reduction to the Purchase Price.
10.2 Seller shall promptly notify Purchaser in writing if Seller has actual knowledge of the commencement or occurrence of any condemnation or eminent domain proceedings. Purchaser shall then notify Seller, within ten (10) days of Purchaser’s receipt of Seller’s notice, which of Purchaser’s rights Purchaser elects to exercise under Section 10.1(a) or (b). If Purchaser fails to make an election within such ten (10) day period, Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected to exercise Purchaser’s rights under Section 10.1(b). As used in this Article X, “material part” shall mean ten percent (10%) or more of the Real Property based upon value.
ARTICLE XI
BROKER
Purchaser represents and warrants that it has not been represented by any broker in connection with the purchase of the Property and no commissions or fees are due by reason of Purchaser’s actions in this matter. Seller represents and warrants that it has not been represented by any broker in connection with the sale of the Property and no commissions or fees are due by reason of Seller’s actions in this matter. Seller and Purchaser shall indemnify and hold each other harmless from any loss, cost, liability or expense (including reasonable attorneys fees) on account of their breach, if any, of this Article XI.
16
ARTICLE XII

12.6 This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State where the Property is located.
12.7 This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which, when taken together, shall be deemed to be one and the same instrument. Executed copies of this Agreement may be delivered between the parties via telecopy or electronic mail.
12.8 Neither Purchaser nor Seller shall record this Agreement or any memorandum thereof in any public records or make any press release or other public disclosure concerning the transaction contemplated hereby and each party shall use its diligent and commercially reasonable efforts to prevent disclosure of the transaction contemplated hereby prior to Closing, other than (a) to directors, trustees and officers and members or shareholders of the parties or any qualified intermediary in connection with a like kind exchange of real estate associated herewith, and employees, agents, bankers, attorneys, accountants, consultants and affiliates of the parties who are involved in the ordinary course of business with the transaction contemplated hereby, and to Purchaser’s lender, the Title Company and Purchaser’s
18
consultants who are retained to investigate the Property, all of which shall be instructed to comply with the non-disclosure provisions hereof, and/or (b) in response to lawful process or subpoena or other valid or enforceable order of a court of competent jurisdiction. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything herein contained to the contrary, Purchaser shall have the right to make all necessary filings (e.g., 8-K, 10-Q, etc.) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) as may be required by applicable law and/or rules and regulations of the SEC as reasonably determined to be applicable to Purchaser by Purchaser and/or its counsel. Any such filings may include such information regarding the transaction contemplated hereby, including disclosure of the purchase price paid, as Purchaser and its counsel shall reasonably determine shall be required in order for Purchaser to comply in all respects with such laws and/or rules and regulations. If Closing does not proceed, Purchaser shall return to Seller all material and information furnished it by Seller or its agents in connection with its review of the Property. This Section 12.8 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement, anything herein contained to the contrary notwithstanding.
12.9 Purchaser may not assign this Agreement or its rights hereunder without the prior written consent of Seller, which consent may be withheld in its sole discretion and any such assignment by Purchaser to which consent has been granted shall not release Purchaser from liability hereunder; provided, however, notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser shall have the right, without first obtaining Seller’s consent thereto, to assign its interest in this Agreement to any entity owned in whole or in part by Purchaser or the principals of Purchaser and controlled by Purchaser or the principals of Purchaser.
12.10 Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, no representations, warranties, covenants, agreements or other obligations in this Agreement shall survive the Closing, and no action based thereon shall be commenced after the Closing Date.
12.11 Seller reserves the right to effectuate the sale of the Property by means of an exchange of “like-kind” property which will qualify as such under Section 1031 of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder. Seller expressly reserves the right to assign its rights, but not its obligations, hereunder to a qualified intermediary as provided in I.R.C. Reg. 1.1031(k)-1(g)(4) on or before the date of Closing. Upon written notice from Seller to Purchaser, Purchaser agrees to cooperate with Seller to effect a like-kind exchange, provided that such cooperation shall be subject to the following conditions: (a) such exchange shall not delay the date of Closing by more than fifteen (15) days and shall occur either simultaneously with the Closing or the sale proceeds payable to Seller shall be paid to a third party Title Company or intermediary and title conveyed to Purchaser, such that Purchaser shall not be required to participate in any subsequent closing, (b) Purchaser shall not be obligated to spend any sums or occur any expenses in excess of the sums and expenses which would have been spent or incurred by Purchaser if there had been no exchange, and (c) Purchaser shall not be obligated to acquire, accept title to or convey any property other than the property to be conveyed to Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement.
12.12 Books and Records. Purchaser has advised Seller that Purchaser may be required to file, in compliance with certain laws and regulations (including, without limitation, Regulation S-X of the SEC), audited financial statements, pro forma financial statements and other financial information related to the Property for up to three (3) fiscal years prior to Closing and any interim period during the fiscal year in which the Closing occurs (the “Financial Information”). Following the Closing, Seller agrees to use its commercially reasonably efforts to cooperate with Purchaser and its representatives and agents in the preparation of the Financial Information; provided, however, Seller shall not be required to incur any out of pocket expenses or costs unless Purchaser reimburses Seller for the same. Seller shall maintain and allow access to, during normal business hours, such books and records of Seller and Seller’s manager of the Property reasonably related to the Property. Further, so long as the persons in charge of management of the Property at the time of Closing remains in the employ of Seller or an affiliate of Seller, Seller will
19
make such persons available for interview. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall not be required to provide any information concerning (a) Seller’s capital structure or debt, (b) Seller’s financial analyses or projections, investment analyses, account summaries or other documents prepared solely for Seller’s internal purposes and not directly related to the operation of the Property, (c) Seller’s tax returns or (d) financial statements of Seller or any affiliate of Seller (other than Property-level financial statements). Purchaser acknowledges Purchaser may not use the results of its review under this Section to pursue any claim against Seller under the terms of this Agreement, unless the basis of the claim was discovered by Purchaser or its representatives or agents independently of any such review.

2. Lessee hereby consents to the assignment by Lessor to Beneficiary of the Lease, as set forth in the Deed of Trust and the Assignment of Rents. If the interests of Lessor shall be transferred to and/or owned by Beneficiary by reason of judicial foreclosure, power-of-sale foreclosure or other proceedings brought by Beneficiary, or by any other manner, including, but not limited to, the institution of a receiver for the Property or Beneficiary’s exercise of its rights under the Assignment of Rents, Lessee shall be bound to Beneficiary under all of the terms, covenants and conditions of the Lease for the balance of the remaining term thereof and any extension thereof duly exercised by Lessee, with the same force and effect as if Beneficiary were the lessor under the Lease, and Lessee does hereby attorn to Beneficiary as its lessor, said attornment to be effective and self-operative without the execution of any further instruments on the part of any of the parties hereto immediately upon Beneficiary’s succeeding to the interest of the lessor under the Lease; provided, however, that Lessee shall be under no obligation to direct its payment of rent to Beneficiary until Lessee receives written notice from Beneficiary to do so.

3. If Beneficiary shall succeed to the interest of the landlord under the Lease, Beneficiary shall, subject to the last sentence of this Section 3, be bound to Lessee under all of the terms, covenants and conditions of the Lease; provided, however, that Beneficiary shall not be:
(a) Liable for any act or omission of any prior lessor (including Lessor) or for any monetary damages incurred by Lessee in connection therewith or liable for any act or omission prior to Beneficiary’s succession to title; or
(b) Subject to any offsets, defenses or counterclaims which Lessee might have against any prior lessor (including Lessor) or accruing prior to Beneficiary’s succession to title; or
(c) Bound by any rent, additional rent or advance rent which Lessee might have paid for more than the current month to any prior lessor (including Lessor) or prior to Beneficiary’s succession to title and all such rent shall remain due and owing notwithstanding such advance payment; or
(d) Bound by any amendment or modification of the Lease made without its consent and written approval; or
(e) Required to restore the building or otherwise perform the obligations of Lessor under the Lease in the event of a foreclosure of the Deed of Trust or acceptance by Beneficiary of a deed in lieu of foreclosure, in either instance prior to full restoration of the building.
Neither Lender’s Name nor any other party who, from time to time, shall be included in the definition of the term “Beneficiary” hereunder shall have any liability or responsibility under or pursuant to the terms of this Agreement after it ceases to own a fee interest in or to the Property.
4. Subject to the terms of this Agreement (including, but not limited to, those in Section 2 hereof, the Lease and the terms thereof are, and shall at all times continue to be, subject and subordinate in each and every respect, to the Deed of Trust and the terms thereof, and to any and all renewals, modifications, extensions, substitutions, replacements and/or consolidations of the Deed of Trust. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed or construed as limiting or restricting the enforcement by Beneficiary of any of the terms, covenants, provisions or remedies of the Deed of Trust or the Assignment of Rents, whether or not consistent with the Lease.
5. The term “Beneficiary” shall be deemed to include lender’s name and all of its successors and assigns, including anyone who shall have succeeded to Lessor’s interest by, through or under judicial or power-of-sale foreclosure or other proceedings brought pursuant to the Deed of Trust, or deed in lieu of such foreclosure or proceedings, or otherwise.
6.

both, would constitute a default, exists under said Lease;(f) that the Lessee, as of this date, has no charge, lien or claim of offset under said Lease or otherwise, against rents or other charges due or to become due thereunder;(g) that the Lease constitutes the entire agreement between the parties and that Beneficiary shall have no liability or responsibility with respect to any security deposit of Lessee; (h) that the only persons, firms or corporations in possession of said leased premises or having any right to the possession or use of said premises(other than the record owner) are those holding under the Lease; and (i) that the Lessee has no right or interest in or under any contract, option or agreement involving the sale or transfer of the Demised Premises.

8. In the event Lessor shall fail to perform or observe any of the terms, conditions or agreements in the Lease, Lessee shall give written notice thereof to Beneficiary and Beneficiary shall have the right (but not the obligation) to cure such failure. Lessee shall not take any action with respect to such failure under the Lease, including, without limitation, any action in order to terminate, rescind or avoid the Lease or to withhold any rent thereunder, for a period of thirty (30) days after receipt of such written notice by Beneficiary; provided, however, that in the case of any default which cannot with diligence be cured within said 30-day period, if Beneficiary shall proceed promptly to cure such failure and thereafter prosecute the curing of such failure with diligence and continuity, the time within which such failure may be cured shall be extended for such period as may be necessary to complete the curing of such failure with diligence and continuity.
9. So long as the Loan is outstanding, Lessee covenants to provide Beneficiary with all information, including, but not limited to evidence of payment of taxes and insurance (if Lessee is obligated for such payments under the Lease) to which the Lessor may be entitled under the Lease.
10. So long as the Loan is outstanding, Beneficiary or its designee may enter upon the Property at all reasonable times to visit or inspect the Property and discuss the affairs, finances and accounts of Lessee applicable to the Property or the Lease at such reasonable times as Beneficiary or its designee may request.
11. Lessee hereby represents and warrants that the Lease and this Agreement have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by Lessee and constitute legal, valid and binding instruments, enforceable against Lessee in accordance with their respective terms, except as such terms may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally.
12. This Agreement may not be modified orally or in any other manner than by an agreement in writing signed by the parties hereto and their respective successors in interest.
