ARTICLE 1
PURCHASE AND SALE
1.1 Sale and Purchase. Seller hereby agrees to sell, transfer and convey the Property to Buyer, and Buyer hereby agrees to purchase and accept the Property from Seller, in each case for the Purchase Price and on and subject to the other terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.
ARTICLE 2
PURCHASE PRICE
2.1 Purchase Price. The purchase price for the Property shall be SIXTY FIVE MILLION and 00/100 Dollars ($65,000,000.00) (the “Purchase Price”) which, subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, shall be paid to Seller by Buyer as follows:
(a) To further secure Buyer’s performance of this Agreement, within one (1) Business Day from the execution of this Agreement by Buyer, Buyer shall deliver to Land Services USA, Inc.

Buyer’s timely delivery of the Initial Deposit to Escrow Agent, as prescribed in this Section 2.1(a), is a condition precedent to the effectiveness of this Agreement and Seller’s obligations hereunder. Within one (1) Business Day following the
2
expiration of the Due Diligence Period (as hereinafter defined), Buyer shall deliver to Escrow Agent, by wire transfer of immediately available federal funds, an additional cash deposit in the amount of FOUR HUNDRED THOUSAND and 00/100 Dollars ($400,000.00) (together with interest earned thereon, the “Additional Deposit”; together with the Initial Deposit, the “Deposit”). If Buyer so elects prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, and notifies Seller and Escrow Agent in writing that it is terminating this Agreement by such date pursuant to the provisions of Article 7 hereof, the Deposit shall be immediately returned to Buyer by Escrow Agent in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. If Buyer does not properly terminate this Agreement prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, the Deposit shall, except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, thereafter be non-refundable to Buyer and deemed fully-earned by Seller but shall be applied to the Purchase Price if Buyer is not in default hereunder and the Closing occurs.
(b) Assumption of Existing Indebtedness. Buyer shall pay a portion of the Purchase Price by and through Buyer’s assumption at Closing (the “Loan Assumption”) of the principal indebtedness owed and outstanding, as of the Closing, to which the Property and Seller are subject in the original principal amount of FIFTY TWO MILLION and 00/100 Dollars ($52,000,000.00), which, as of the Effective Date, has an outstanding principal balance of approximately FORTY SIX MILLION ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND and 00/100 Dollars ($46,100,000.00) (the “Loan”) from GMAC Commercial Mortgage Corporation, and now held by JPMC Series 2006 LDP7 (“Lender”) such Loan being evidenced by a certain Loan Agreement dated as of March 3, 2006 by and between Borrower and Lender (the “Loan Agreement”), a certain promissory note and related loan documents.
(c) Net Purchase Price. Buyer shall pay the balance of the Purchase Price, subject to a credit for the Deposit, for the outstanding principal indebtedness on the Loan assumed by Buyer, and subject to the adjustment for items described in Article 4 below, in cash (the “Net Purchase Price”) wire transfer of immediately available federal funds to Escrow Agent in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, so that Seller shall receive such payment in its designated account at the Closing. At least five (5) Business Days before Closing, Seller will prepare for Buyer’s review, a preliminary settlement statement, setting forth all closing adjustments and pro rations, to which Buyer shall respond promptly and the parties will begin pre-closing the transaction.
(d) Lender Consent. All of the documents executed by Seller or its Affiliates (as hereinafter defined) and which evidence, secure and/or otherwise relate to the Loan as amended, restated, replaced, substituted, severed, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time are referred to herein as the “Loan Documents” and are set forth on the list attached hereto as Exhibit “D”. The parties acknowledge that the written consent of Lender (and of any rating agencies, servicers, credit enhancers or other parties whose consent or confirmation is required by the terms of the Loan Documents, together, the “Lender Parties”, or singly, a “Lender Party”), to the assumption of the Loan Documents, with no material changes in the economic terms of the Loan and the release of any guarantors and indemnitors are each a condition to the Closing of this transaction (together, including any consents from any Lender Parties required under the terms of the Loan Documents, the “Lender Consent”). Seller shall request and authorize the applicable Lender Parties (a) to provide Buyer an application or applications, as necessary, for the Loan Assumption and the Lender Consent (the “Assumption Application”); and (b) to accept the Assumption Application. Buyer shall, within ten (10) Business Days after Buyer’s actual receipt of the Assumption Application from either Seller or Lender, submit to the applicable Lender Parties the Assumption Application and all accompanying documentation and information (including financial information) to satisfy the requirements of the Assumption Application and all application fees, which Assumption Application shall include the submission and offer of a creditworthy Substitute Liable Party (defined below). Concurrently with its delivery of the Assumption Application to the applicable Lender Parties, Buyer shall provide to Seller a copy of the cover letter (and the Assumption Application), submitting the Assumption Application to the applicable Lender Parties as well as a copy of all
3
subsequent correspondence with such Lender Party. In connection with the Assumption Application, Seller shall, at no cost or expense to Seller cooperate with the Buyer and the Lender Parties and provide such data, information and documents on a timely basis to the Lender Parties as may be requested by Buyer and/or Lender Parties. The Lender Consent must be consistent with the following: (i) the Lender Parties shall have agreed to release Seller and all existing guarantors and indemnitors from all obligations and liabilities under the Loan Documents (the “Lender Release”) in forms reasonably satisfactory to Seller and the respective Lender Parties, (ii) the Lender Consent shall require such provisions, conditions and documents as are consistent with the Loan Documents and Assumption Application and are satisfactory to and approved by Seller and Buyer (the documents in (i) and (ii) are referred to herein as the “Loan Assumption Documents”), and (iii) the respective Lender Parties shall have approved the identity and credit of the entity and persons offered by Buyer as the “Substitute Liable Party” on any required indemnities and guaranties. Neither Seller nor Buyer shall unreasonably withhold its consent to the form of the Loan Assumption Documents. Buyer shall, in good faith, use diligent efforts to seek to obtain the Lender Consent.

BACKGROUND:
A. Pursuant to the provisions of that certain Agreement of Purchase and Sale dated October 16th, 2013 (the “Agreement”), the Buyer agreed to purchase from the Seller and the Seller agreed sell to the Buyer the real property and improvements thereon located in Oklahoma City and Edmund, Oklahoma as more particularly described in the Agreement.
B. The Buyer and the Seller now desire to amend and modify the Agreement pursuant to the provisions of this First Amendment.
NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged and with the intention of being legally bound hereby, the Buyer and the Seller agree as follows:
1. Except as specifically defined in this First Amendment, initially capitalized terms in this First Amendment shall have the meaning ascribed to such terms in the Agreement.
2. At Closing, the Seller shall provide the Buyer with a credit in reduction of the Purchase Price in the amount of $300,000.
3. Prior to the Closing, the Seller shall, at the Seller’s sole cost and expense, complete the repairs to the Property described on Exhibit “A” attached hereto (the “Required Repairs”). The Required Repairs shall be performed by the Seller in a good and workmanlike manner, free and clear of all liens and encumbrances. Prior to the Closing, the Buyer shall have the right to inspect the Property to confirm that the Required Repairs have been completed to the Buyer’s reasonable satisfaction pursuant to the provisions of this Section 3. If, at the time of Closing, the Seller has failed to complete the Required Repairs as set forth herein, the Buyer shall, as its sole remedy, be entitled to a credit in reduction of the Purchase Price in an amount equal to the “Cost to Complete” (defined below). For purposes hereof the term “Cost to Complete” shall be determined pursuant to the following process: The Buyer and the Seller shall each select an independent contractor, each of whom shall submit a cost estimate necessary to complete the uncompleted portion of the Required Repairs, and the Cost to Complete shall be the average cost estimate submitted by each such independent contractor.
4. The third sentence of Section 2.1(a) of the Agreement is hereby amended in its entirety as follows:
24
“On or before November 25, 2013, Buyer shall deliver to Escrow Agent, by wire transfer of immediately available federal funds, an additional cash deposit in the amount of FOUR HUNDRED THOUSAND and 00/100 Dollars ($400,000.00) (together with interest earned thereon, the “Additional Deposit”; together with the Initial Deposit, the “Deposit”).”
5. Section 3.2 of the Agreement is hereby amended in its entirety as follows:
“3.2 Within twenty (20) days from the Effective Date, Buyer shall obtain and deliver to Seller a title commitment or title commitments (collectively, the “Title Commitment”) with respect to the Property from the Title Insurance Company. Delivery of a copy of the Title Commitment to Seller shall be accompanied by Buyer’s notice of those items disclosed by the Title Commitment to be exceptions to title insurance which are unacceptable to Buyer (“Buyer’s Notice”). Within five (5) days following Seller’s receipt of Buyer’s Notice, Seller shall give notice to Buyer of the identity of those exceptions to title which Buyer has indicated on Buyer’s Notice as being unacceptable and which Seller indicates that it is unwilling or unable to cure (“Seller’s Notice”). Such additional exceptions and conditions shall be added to and become a part of the Permitted Exceptions, unless Buyer, on or before five o’clock (5:00) p.m. New York City time on November 22, 2013, forwards notice of termination of this Agreement to Seller, in which event the Deposit shall be returned to Buyer, and Buyer and Seller shall be released from all liability and obligations to the other hereunder, except for such obligations which specifically survive Closing or the termination of this Agreement. The foregoing notwithstanding, under no circumstances shall (1) a mortgage, judgment or other lien against the Property, other than the liens or encumbrances relating to the Loan be included as a Permitted Exception; or (2) a title exception created by Seller after the date of the issuance of the Title Commitment be included as a Permitted Exception, unless Buyer has consented to the creation of same.”
6. Section 9.1 of the Agreement is hereby amended in its entirety as follows:
“9.1 Closing of title (the “Closing”) shall take place at the offices of Buyer’s counsel in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania or, in the alternative, the parties hereby acknowledge and agree that the Closing may be accomplished via mail in which event neither party shall be required to be present in person at the Closing, on or before the date which is fifteen (15) Business Days following the later of: (i) November 22, 2013; or (ii) receipt of the Lender Consent and the Lender Release (the “Closing Date”); provided, however, in no event shall Closing occur later than February 14 2014. Notwithstanding the aforesaid, if the Lender Consent and the Lender Release have not been obtained by January 24, 2014, then this Agreement shall automatically terminate, whereupon the Deposit shall be immediately refunded to Buyer and the parties shall be relieved of all liability under this Agreement, except for such obligations which specifically survive Closing or the earlier termination of this Agreement. Time is of the essence for all purposes set forth in this Section 9.1.”
25
7. The Buyer and the Seller acknowledge and confirm that, except as specifically set forth in this Paragraph 7, the Buyer has completed the Inspections and, subject to the Seller’s completion of the Required Repairs, the Buyer is satisfied with all aspects of the Property other than the Remaining Investigations (defined below). The Buyer has not, as of the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, completed its investigation of (i) the status of the quality of title to the Property, (ii) a review of current surveys of the Property and (iii) the Property’s compliance with applicable zoning, building, fire and land use codes and requirements relating to the current use and operation of, and available parking at, the Property (the “Remaining Investigations”). On or before November 22, 2013, the Buyer shall have the right to terminate the Agreement solely if the Buyer’s Remaining Investigations reflect that either (i) the quality of title to the Property is unacceptable to the Buyer pursuant to the provisions of Section 3.2 of the Agreement (as amended by Paragraph 5 of this First Amendment), or (ii) the Property does not comply with applicable zoning, building, fire and land use codes and requirements relating to the current use and operation of, and available parking at, the Property, by forwarding written notice to the Seller in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 13.1 of the Agreement on or before five o’clock (5:00) p.m. New York City time on November 22, 2013, in which event the Buyer shall be entitled to the return of the Deposit, and thereafter neither party shall have any further rights or obligations to the other hereunder except for such obligations which survive the Closing or the termination of this Agreement, time being of the essence.
8. This First Amendment may be executed in multiple counterparts, any of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which shall constitute but one instrument. The signatures of all of the parties need not appear on the same counterpart, and delivery of an executed counterpart signature page by facsimile or electronic mail is as effective as executing and delivering this First Amendment in the presence of the other parties to this First Amendment. This First Amendment is effective upon delivery of one executed counterpart from each party to the other party.
