THIS RELEASE APPLIES TO ALL SUCH CLAIMS WHETHER THE ACTIONS CAUSING THE PRESENCE OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS ON OR IN THE VICINITY OF THE PROPERTY OCCURRED BEFORE OR AFTER THE CLOSING. THIS RELEASE EXTENDS AND APPLIES TO, AND ALSO COVERS AND INCLUDES, ALL STATUTORY OR COMMON LAW CLAIMS THE BUYER MAY HAVE AGAINST THE SELLER. THE PROVISIONS OF ANY STATE, FEDERAL, OR LOCAL LAW OR STATUTE PROVIDING IN SUBSTANCE THAT RELEASES SHALL NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS, DEMANDS, INJURIES OR DAMAGES WHICH ARE UNKNOWN OR UNSUSPECTED TO EXIST AT THE TIME, TO THE PERSON EXECUTING SUCH RELEASE, ARE HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVED. THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION SHALL SURVIVE THE CLOSING OR ANY TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT.

6. POSSESSION; RISK OF LOSS

6.1 Possession. Possession of the Property will be transferred to Buyer at the conclusion of the Closing, subject to the Permitted Exceptions.

6.2 Risk of Loss. All risk of loss to the Real Property and Improvements shall remain upon Seller until the conclusion of the Closing. If, before Closing, any material and substantial portion of the Real Property and/or Improvements is damaged by fire or other casualty, or if any material and substantial portion of the Real Property and/or Improvements is taken or formally threatened by eminent domain, Seller shall, within ten (10) days of such damage or taking, notify Buyer thereof and Buyer shall have the option to:

(a)terminate this Agreement upon notice to Seller given within ten (10) business days after such notice from Seller; or

(b)proceed with the purchase of the Property, in which event Seller shall assign to Buyer all Seller’s right, title and interest in all amounts due or collected by Seller under any insurance policies or as condemnation awards and, in the case of insurance, Buyer shall receive a credit Closing in the amount of any deductible and/or self insured retention.

For purposes of this Section 6.2, “material and substantial”, (i) with respect to a casualty, means damage to the Real Property and/or Improvements of such nature that the cost of restoring the same to its condition prior to the casualty would exceed $500,000.00; and (ii) with respect to condemnation, means a taking which would prevent or materially impair Buyer from using the Property for the use intended and/or which affects in any material adverse way vehicular access to the Real Property. If less than a material and substantial portion of the Real Property and/or Improvements is damaged by fire or other casualty or taken or formally threatened by eminent domain, then Buyer shall have no rights to terminate the Agreement under this Section 6.2; provided, however, at Closing, Seller shall assign to Buyer all Seller’s right, title and interest in all amounts due or collected by Seller under any insurance policies or as condemnation awards.


7.	TITLE MATTERS

Seller has previously delivered to Buyer copies of the Existing Title Policy and Existing Survey. Seller shall order the new Title Insurance Commitment within three (3) business days after the Effective Date. Within three (3) business days after receipt of the Title Insurance Commitment, Buyer shall order a new Survey. Buyer will have 10 business days after its receipt of both the new Title Insurance Commitment and the new Survey, but in no event beyond the end of the Inspection Period, within which to notify Seller in writing of any conditions, defects, encroachments or other objections to title or survey which are not acceptable to Buyer in its sole discretion. Any matter disclosed by the Title Insurance Commitment other than liens arising through Seller which are removable by the payment of money, for which Seller shall be obligated to cure, or by the new Survey which is not timely specified in Buyer’s written notice to Seller, shall be deemed a Permitted Exception. Seller shall have a period of five (5) business days after receipt of Buyer’s title objection letter in which to elect to cure such title objections, provided however that Seller shall not be obligated to cure or institute any litigation with respect thereto (other than liens arising through Seller). If Seller elects to cure such title objections, Seller shall use reasonable efforts to cure such objections to title or survey by Closing. If Seller elects not to cure such title objection(s), within five (5) days after Seller’s response, Buyer shall elect to (i) refuse to purchase the Property and terminate this Agreement and receive a return of the Xxxxxxx Money Deposit; or (ii) waive such objection(s) and, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, close the purchase of the Property, subject to the objection(s), and without reduction of the Purchase Price. In the event Buyer fails to deliver notice of its election to Seller, Buyer shall be deemed to have elected to waive such objection(s) and close the purchase of the Property.


8.	CLOSING DELIVERIES

8.1 Seller Deliveries. At Closing Seller shall deliver:

(a)A limited warranty deed (“Warranty Deed”) from Seller in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 8.1(a);

(b)If requested by Buyer, a quit claim deed (“Quit Claim Deed”) in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 8.1(b) conveying the Real Property to Buyer pursuant to the legal description set forth on the Survey;

(c)Originals, if available, or if not, true copies of the Leases and Contracts;

(d)An Assignment and Assumption of Leases from Seller in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 8.1(d) (the “Assignment of Leases”);

(e)A quitclaim xxxx of sale or assignment of all Personal Property from Seller in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 8.1(e);

(f)An updated Rent Roll certified by Seller;

(g)Tenant Estoppel Letters obtained by Seller, if not already delivered to Buyer, which must include those from all Major Tenants and seventy five percent (75%) by number of the other tenants who have signed Leases for the Property. In the event that one or more of the required Tenant Estoppel Letters for any of the tenants other than the Major Tenants is not delivered at least three (3) business days prior to Closing, the Seller shall have the right, in fulfillment of this condition, to deliver a Landlord Estoppel Letter in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 8.1(g) (“Landlord Estoppel Letter”). If Seller delivers a Landlord Estoppel Letter for any tenant and within ninety (90) days thereafter delivers a Tenant Estoppel Letter from such tenant in form required herein and containing the same provisions as are included in the Landlord Estoppel Letter, Seller will be released from any and all liabilities and obligations thereafter accruing under such Landlord Estoppel Letter. In the event Seller shall be unable to deliver a Tenant Estoppel Letter for any one or more of the Major Tenants, any Tenant Estoppel letter indicates any valid claim of default by Seller, as landlord, under the respective lease which is not cured on or before the Closing Date and/or any Tenant Estoppel Letter materially conflicts with the terms of the respective lease, then, Buyer shall have the right, upon notice thereof to Seller, to terminate this Agreement, in which event, the Xxxxxxx Money Deposit shall be returned to the Buyer and the parties shall have no further rights or obligations under this Agreement (except those indemnity and insurance obligations that specifically survive termination). In the event that Buyer shall not reject and any Tenant Estoppel so executed by the applicable tenant within seven (7) days after receipt thereof from Seller, the same shall be deemed accepted by Buyer;

(h)An owner’s affidavit in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 8.1(h);

(i)Resolutions or affidavits of Seller authorizing the transaction described herein;

(j)All keys and other means of access to the Improvements in the possession of Seller or its agents, or if the Improvements are accessed by a master key, Buyer shall be responsible for re-keying such Improvements;

(l)Such other documents as the Title Company may reasonably request to effect the transaction contemplated by this Agreement.

8.2 Buyer Deliveries. At Closing Buyer shall deliver:

(m)A direction to Escrow Agent to disburse the Xxxxxxx Money Deposit to Seller;

(n)The balance of the Purchase Price;

(o)The Assignment of Leases described in Subsection 8.1(c) above;

(p)Resolutions or affidavits of Buyer authorizing the transactions described herein;

(q)Joinder(s) by Buyer in the letters to tenants required of Seller in Section 8.1(m) above; and

(r)Such other documents as the Title Company may reasonably request to effect the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

8.3 Reasonable Efforts. Each of the parties hereto agrees to use reasonable efforts to take or cause to be taken all actions reasonably necessary, proper or advisable to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

9. BREACH; REMEDIES

9.1 Breach by Seller. In the event of a breach of Seller’s obligations herein, Buyer may, at Buyer’s election: (i) terminate this Agreement and receive a return of the Xxxxxxx Money Deposit, and the parties shall have no further rights or obligations under this Agreement (except as expressly survive termination); (ii) enforce this Agreement by suit for specific performance; or (iii) waive such breach and close the purchase contemplated hereby, notwithstanding such breach. In the event that specific performance shall not be available to Buyer due to the Seller’s intentional conveyance of the Property or a portion thereof to a bona fide third party for value in violation of the terms and conditions hereof, then, Buyer shall be entitled to damages in an amount equal to all third party out of pocket costs and expenses incurred by Buyer in connection with the transaction contemplated hereby, but not in excess of $100,000 in any event.

9.2 Pre-Closing Breach by Buyer. In the event of a breach of Buyer’s obligations herein, Seller’s sole legal and equitable remedy (except for breaches related to Buyer’s indemnity and insurance obligations) shall be to terminate this Agreement and retain Buyer’s Xxxxxxx Money Deposit as AGREED LIQUIDATED DAMAGES for such breach, and upon payment in full to Seller of such Xxxxxxx Money Deposit, the parties shall have no further rights, claims, liabilities or obligations under this Agreement (except the indemnity and

insurance obligations of Buyer, for which Seller, in the event of a breach thereof by Buyer, shall have available to it all remedies at law or in equity).

9.3 Post-Closing Breach by Seller. In the event of a breach of Seller’s obligations herein that occurs after Closing, Buyer’s remedies shall be governed by Section 10.13 below, as Buyer’s sole and exclusive remedy.

9.4 Post-Closing Breach by Buyer. In the event of a breach of Buyer’s obligations herein that occurs after Closing, Seller shall have any and all remedies available at law and in equity.

10. MISCELLANEOUS

10.1 Tax Appeals.

(a)

If any tax reduction proceedings in respect of the Property, (i) relating to any fiscal years ending prior to the fiscal year in which the Closing occurs or (ii) relating to the fiscal year in which the Closing occurs, are pending at the time of Closing, then until the date which is two (2) years after the Closing Date (the “Tax Proceedings Cutoff Date”) the Seller reserves and shall have the right to continue to prosecute and/or settle the same, subject to Buyer’s reasonable approval and ability to participate; provided, however, that Seller shall not settle any such proceeding that relates to the taxable year during which the Closing occurs or which could reasonably be expected to increase any tax liability with respect to the Property in a taxable period (or portion thereof) following the Closing Date without Buyer’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Buyer shall reasonably cooperate with Seller in connection with the prosecution of any such tax reduction proceedings. From and after the Tax Proceedings Cutoff Date, Buyer shall have the sole right to continue and prosecute and/or settle any tax reduction proceedings in respect of the Property.

(b)

Any refunds or savings (including credits) in the payment of real property taxes (whether or not resulting from such tax reduction proceedings) applicable to taxes payable during the period (or portion thereof) prior to the date of the Closing shall belong to and be the property of Seller, and any refunds or savings in the payment of taxes applicable to taxes payable from and after the date of the Closing shall belong to and be the property of Buyer; provided, however, that if any refund received by the Seller pursuant to this Section 10.1 creates an obligation to reimburse any Tenants under Leases for any rents or additional rents paid or to be paid, that portion of such refund equal to the amount of such required reimbursement (after deduction of allocable expenses as may be provided in the Lease to such Tenant) shall be paid by Seller directly to the Tenants entitled thereto. All attorneys’ fees and other expenses incurred in obtaining such refunds or savings shall be apportioned between Seller and Buyer in proportion to the gross amount of such refunds or savings payable to Seller and Buyer, respectively (without regard to any amounts reimbursable to Tenants);

provided, however, that neither Seller nor Buyer shall have any liability for any such fees or expenses in excess of the refund or savings paid to such party unless such party initiated such proceeding. All amounts payable to Buyer shall be paid by Seller within ten (10) business days after receipt by Seller or its successors or assigns of such refund or savings. All amounts payable to Seller shall be paid by Buyer within ten (10) business days after receipt by Buyer or its successors or assigns of such refund or savings.

10.2 Commissions. Seller and Buyer represent to each other that neither Seller (in the case of Seller’s representation) nor Buyer (in the case of Buyer’s representation) has dealt with nor does it have any knowledge of any broker or other person who has or may have any claim against Seller, Buyer or the Property for a brokerage commission, finder’s fee or like payment arising out of or in connection with this transaction, other than Broker. Buyer agrees to indemnify and hold Seller harmless from any other such claim arising by, through or under Buyer, and Seller agrees to indemnify and hold Buyer harmless from any other such claim arising by, through or under Seller. Seller shall be solely responsible for and shall pay Broker a commission in the event of and at Closing pursuant to a separate written agreement between Seller and Broker.

10.13 Survival of Seller’s Representations and Warranties. The representations and warranties of Seller set forth in this Agreement, including, without limitation, Article 4 hereof, shall survive the Closing for a period of nine (9) months following the Closing Date (the “Survival Period”), at which time they will be of no further force or effect except as hereinafter provided in this Section 10.13. No claim asserted after Closing for a breach of any representation or warranty of Seller shall be actionable or payable if the breach in question results from or is based on a condition, state of facts or other matter which was known to Buyer prior to Closing or disclosed or referenced in this Agreement, the documents delivered as part of the due diligence documentation, the Existing Title Policy, Existing Survey, Title Insurance Commitment or the Survey. Seller shall not have any liability to Buyer for a breach of any representation or warranty (a) unless the valid claims for all breaches with respect to the Property collectively aggregate more than $10,000.00 (“Minimum Amount”), in which event only the amount of such valid claims in excess of the Minimum Amount shall be actionable, up to the Cap (as defined in this Section 10.13), and (b) unless written notice containing a description of the specific nature of such breach shall have been given by Buyer to Seller prior to the expiration of the Survival Period and an action shall have been commenced and filed by Buyer against Seller within sixty (60) days after delivery of notice of the alleged breach. As used herein, the term “Cap” shall mean Six Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($650,000.00) in the aggregate. In no event whatsoever

shall Seller have any liability to Buyer in excess of the Cap for any claims asserted after Closing for a breach; provided however, notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Cap nor the Minimum Amount shall be applicable with respect to a breach of Seller’s Obligation under Section 10.2 above.

10.14 Successors and Assigns. Buyer shall not assign its rights hereunder except to affiliated entities. An affiliated entity for purposes hereof shall include any entity which is wholly owned by a party or by a parent of a party, or any entity in which a party or a parent of a party has an equity interest and is a general or managing partner/member.

No third parties, including any brokers or creditors, shall be beneficiaries hereof or entitled to any rights or benefits hereunder.

10.15 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with the exhibits attached hereto, supersedes all prior agreements between the parties as to the Property, if any, and constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement may not be modified, amended or otherwise changed in any manner except by a writing executed by Buyer and Seller or their respective counsel identified herein.

10.16 Facsimile or .pdf. Signatures to this Agreement transmitted by telecopy or email (.pdf) shall be valid and effective to bind the party so signing. Each party agrees to promptly deliver an execution original to this Agreement with its actual signature to the other party, but a failure to do so shall not affect the enforceability of this Agreement, it being expressly agreed that each party to this Agreement shall be bound by its own telecopied or emailed signature and shall accept the telecopied or emailed signature of the other party to this Agreement.

10.17 1031 Exchange. Buyer acknowledges that Seller may effect a like-kind exchange under Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). Accordingly, Buyer agrees that it will cooperate with Seller to effect a tax-free exchange in accordance with the provisions of Section 1031 of the Code and the regulations promulgated with respect thereto. Seller shall be solely responsible for any additional fees, costs or expenses incurred in connection with the like-kind exchange contemplated by this paragraph, and Buyer shall not be required to incur any debt, obligation or expense in accommodating Seller hereunder. In no event shall Seller’s ability or inability to effect a like-kind exchange, as contemplated hereby, in any way delay the Closing or relieve Seller from its obligations and liabilities under this Agreement. Seller hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Buyer from any liability, losses or damages incurred by Buyer in connection with or arising out of the Section 1031 like-kind exchange, including but not limited to any tax liability.

10.18 Purchase of Property Only. 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 Buyer be deemed a successor of Seller with respect to any debts, liabilities and obligations of Seller other than the tenants under the Leases, any Contracts assumed by Buyer and any obligations and liabilities as owner of the Property. Seller shall be liable for 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).

10.19 Escrow Agent. The terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement shall constitute both an agreement between Seller and Buyer and instructions for Escrow Agent, which Escrow Agent shall acknowledge and agree to be bound by, as evidenced by its execution of this Agreement. Seller and Buyer shall promptly execute and deliver to Escrow Agent any separate or additional escrow instructions requested by Escrow Agent which are consistent with the terms of this Agreement. Any separate or additional instructions shall not modify or amend the provisions of this Agreement unless otherwise expressly agreed by mutual consent of Buyer and Seller. Buyer and Seller both hereby acknowledge and agree that Escrow Agent shall hold and deliver the Xxxxxxx Money Deposit and all other deposits which may be made under this Agreement in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement and that Escrow Agent shall be relieved of all liability and held harmless by both Seller and Buyer in the event Escrow Agent makes any disbursement of such monies in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement. Escrow Agent shall be relieved from any responsibility or liability and held harmless by both Buyer and Seller in connection with the discharge of Escrow Agent’s duties hereunder provided that Escrow Agent exercises ordinary and reasonable care in the discharge of such duties.

By their execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Buyer and Seller acknowledge and confirm that under certain circumstances deposits (including the funds subject to this Agreement) may not be insured or fully insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”). Each party has made its own analysis of FDIC insurance regulations affecting, or potentially affecting, the funds subject to this Agreement and is not relying upon any advice from the Escrow Agent as to FDIC matters. The Buyer and Seller understand and agree that Escrow Agent is holding the escrow funds as agent and that the funds are not trust funds. Simultaneously with final disbursement of the escrow funds pursuant to this Agreement, Escrow Agent shall be released of all liability and responsibility under this Agreement. The Escrow Agent may act in reliance upon any writing or instrument or signature which it, in good faith, believes to be genuine. Escrow Agent may assume that any person purporting to give any writing, notice, advice or instructions in connection with the provisions hereof, has been duly authorized to do so. The Escrow Agent undertakes and agrees to perform only such duties as expressly set forth herein. The duty of the Escrow Agent hereunder shall be limited to the safe keeping of the escrow funds and the disposition of same in accordance with the provisions hereof. The Escrow Agent shall have the right, but not the obligation, to require a written statement signed by the Buyer and Seller confirming satisfaction of all conditions precedent to disbursement of funds hereunder and authorizing disbursement of said funds, together with accrued interest, if any. All notices to or from Escrow Agent shall be in writing. The Buyer and Seller hereby release Escrow Agent from any losses incurred with respect to funds deposited hereunder by reason of the absence of or insufficiency of FDIC insurance with respect to such funds. The Buyer and Seller acknowledge that Escrow Agent has entered into this Agreement at their specific request and, in order to induce Escrow Agent to accept said escrow, do hereby agree to indemnify and hold Escrow Agent harmless from all loss, cost and expense, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs, which it may suffer or incur as a result of acting as Escrow Agent under this Agreement, including, without limitation, claims arising with respect to the absence or insufficiency of FDIC insurance for funds subject to this Agreement. In the event of any dispute as to the disbursement of escrow funds or any claim thereto by any party or person, Escrow Agent shall have the right to bring a suit in interpleader in the Circuit Court for Xxxxx County, Florida naming the parties to this Agreement and any other parties as may be appropriate in the opinion of Escrow Agent. The Buyer and Seller shall indemnify and hold harmless Escrow Agent from all costs, including attorneys’ fees, in connection with such interpleader action. Upon the filing of said suit and deposit of the balance of escrow funds in the registry of the Court, Escrow Agent shall have the right to withdraw from said suit, and all obligations of Escrow Agent shall cease and terminate.

10.20 No Back Offers or Agreements. Seller shall not, during the term of this Agreement, enter into any back up offers, agreements, options or the like for the sale of the Property to any third party and nor shall Seller market the Property for sale or otherwise solicit any of such back up offers, agreements, options or the like directly or indirectly through third parties.

10.21 Books and Records. Buyer has advised Seller that Buyer may be required to file, in compliance with certain laws and regulations (including, without limitation, Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission), 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 Buyer and its representatives and agents in the preparation of required Financial Information; provided, however, Seller shall not be required to incur any expenses or costs unless Buyer reimburses Seller for the same. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall not be required to provide any information deemed confidential by Seller in its reasonable discretion. Buyer acknowledges Buyer may not use the results of its review under this Section 10.21 to pursue any claim against Seller under the terms of this Agreement.
