If the Title Documents or the Survey reflect or disclose any defect, exception or other matter affecting the Real Property (“Title Defects”) that is unacceptable to Buyer, then Buyer shall provide Seller with written notice of Buyer’s objections no later than the conclusion of the Title Review Period; provided, however, if Buyer shall fail to notify Seller in writing within the Title Review Period either that the condition of title is acceptable or of any specific objections to the state of title to the Real Property, then Buyer shall be deemed to have objected to all exceptions to title or other conditions or matters which are shown on the Survey or described in the Title Documents.

7.3.1. | To cause to be in force fire and extended coverage insurance upon the Real Property, and public liability insurance with respect to damage or injury to persons or property occurring on the Real Property in at least such amounts, and with the same deductibles, as are maintained by Seller on the date hereof. |
7.3.2. | That any building constituting an improvement on the Real Property will be in the same physical condition at the Close of Escrow that it was at the date of Buyer’s inspection, normal wear and tear excepted, and that all normal maintenance has been conducted from and after the Effective Date in the same fashion as prior to the Effective Date. |
18
7.3.3. | To not enter into any new lease with respect to the Real Property, without Buyer’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. Exercise of a mandatory renewal option shall not be considered a new lease. To the extent specifically disclosed to Buyer in connection with any request for approval, any brokerage commission and the cost of Tenant improvements or other allowances payable with respect to a new Lease shall be prorated between Buyer and Seller in accordance with their respective periods of ownership as it bears to the primary term of the new Lease. Further, Seller will not modify or cancel any existing Lease covering space in the Real Property without first obtaining the written consent of Buyer which shall not be unreasonably withheld. Buyer shall have five (5) business days following receipt of a request for any consent pursuant to this paragraph in which to approve or disapprove of any new Lease or any modification or cancellation of any existing Lease. Failure to respond in writing within said time period shall be deemed to be consent. Seller’s execution of a new lease or modification or cancellation of an existing Lease following Buyer’s reasonable refusal to consent thereto shall constitute a default hereunder. |
7.3.4. | To not sell, assign, or convey any right, title, or interest whatsoever in or to the Real Property, or create or permit to attach any lien, security interest, easement, encumbrance, charge, or condition affecting the Real Property (other than the Permitted Exceptions). |
7.3.5. | To not, without Buyer’s written approval, (a) amend or waive any right under any Contract, or (b) enter into any service, operating or maintenance agreement affecting the Real Property that would survive the Close of Escrow. |
7.3.6. | To fully and timely comply with all obligations to be performed by it under the Leases and Contracts, and all Permits, licenses, approvals and laws, regulations and orders applicable to the Real Property. |
19
7.3.7. | To provide Buyer with monthly rent rolls containing the same information in its rent roll delivered pursuant to Paragraph 4.1.3. |
7.3.8. | To provide Buyer with copies of (a) any default letters sent to Tenants and, (b) any copies of correspondence received from a Tenant that it is “going dark” or seeking to re-negotiate its lease and (c) notices of bankruptcy filings received with respect to any Tenant. |
8. | Buyer Representations and Warranties. |
Buyer hereby represents and warrants to Seller as of the date hereof and as of the Close of Escrow by appropriate certificate that:
Buyer is a limited liability company duly organized and validly existing under the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia. Buyer has full power and authority to enter into this Agreement, to perform this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and all documents contemplated hereby by Buyer have been duly and validly authorized by all necessary action on the part of Buyer and all required consents and approvals have been duly obtained and will not result in a breach of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under, any indenture, agreement or instrument to which Buyer is a party or otherwise bound. This Agreement is a legal, valid and binding obligation of Buyer, enforceable against Buyer in accordance with its terms, subject to the effect of applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, moratorium or other similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally.
9. | Conditions Precedent to Close of Escrow. |
9.1. | Conditions Precedent. |
The obligations of Buyer to purchase the Property pursuant to this Agreement shall, at the option of Buyer, be subject to the following conditions precedent:
9.1.1. | All of the representations, warranties and agreements of Seller set forth in this Agreement shall be true and correct in all material respects as of the date hereof and as of the Close of Escrow, and Seller shall not have on or prior to the |
20
Close of Escrow, failed to meet, comply with or perform in any material respect any covenants or agreements on Seller’s part as required by the terms of this Agreement. |
9.1.2. | There shall be no change in the matters reflected in the Title Documents, and there shall not exist any encumbrance or title defect affecting the Real Property not described in the Title Documents except for the Permitted Exceptions or matters to be satisfied at the Close of Escrow. |
9.1.3. | Unless Seller receives notice from Buyer at least thirty (30) days prior to the Close of Escrow, effective as of the Close of Escrow, any management agreement affecting the Real Property shall be terminated by Seller and any and all termination fees incurred as a result thereof shall be the sole obligation of Seller. |
9.1.4. | Seller shall have operated the Real Property from and after the date hereof in substantially the same manner as prior thereto. |
9.1.5. | Seller shall deliver to Buyer copies of Tenant insurance certificates in Seller’s possession or control. |
9.1.6. | No Major Tenant shall be in default under its Lease nor shall any Major Tenant have given notice that it is discontinuing operations at the Real Property nor shall a Major Tenant filed bankruptcy or sought any similar debtor protective measure or be the subject of an involuntary bankruptcy. |
9.1.7. | If Buyer’s lender requires the execution of subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreements (“SNDAs”) from Tenants as a condition to closing the loan to Buyer, Buyer’s obligations under this Agreement shall be subject to the delivery of SNDAs in form and substance acceptable to Buyer’s lender. |
9.1.8. | If any Tenant security deposit is in a form other than cash, the instrument constituting the security deposit must be reissued in Buyer’s name as of the Close of Escrow or else a cash escrow equal to the amount of the security deposit |
21
will be established at the Close of Escrow until the instrument is reissued in Buyer’s name. |
9.1.9. | The parties must have closed escrow simultaneously on the transaction for the sale by Seller to Buyer of the real property known as “Plantation Plaza.” |
9.2. | Effect of Failure. |
If Buyer notifies Seller in writing of a failure to satisfy the conditions precedent set forth in this Paragraph 9, Seller may, within five (5) days after receipt of Buyer’s notice, agree to satisfy the condition by written notice to Buyer, and Buyer shall thereupon be obligated to close the transaction provided (a) Seller so satisfies such condition and (b) no such right to cure shall extend the Close of Escrow. If Seller fails to agree to cure or fails to cure such condition by the Close of Escrow, this Agreement shall be automatically terminated, the Deposit shall be returned to Buyer without any further action required from either party and neither party shall have any continuing obligations hereunder; provided, however, if such failure constitutes a breach or default of its covenants, representations or warranties Seller shall remain liable for such breach or default as otherwise set forth in this Agreement.
10. | Damage or Destruction Prior to Close of Escrow. |
In the event that the Real Property should be damaged by any casualty prior to Close of Escrow, then Seller shall promptly provide Buyer with written notice of such casualty. If the cost of repairing such damage, as estimated by an architect or contractor retained pursuant to the mutual agreement of the parties (the “Cost of Repairs”), is (a) less than One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000), the Close of Escrow shall proceed as scheduled and any insurance proceeds, plus the cash amount of any associated deductible, shall be paid over to Buyer; or (b) greater than One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000), then Buyer may in its discretion either (i) elect to terminate this Agreement, in which case the Deposit shall be returned to Buyer without any further action required from either party and neither party shall have any further obligation to the other or (ii) proceed to Close of Escrow in which event any insurance proceeds, plus the cash amount of any associated deductible, shall be paid over to Buyer. In the event that the casualty is uninsured, the Buyer may terminate this Agreement unless the Buyer receives a credit
22
against the Purchase Price equal to the Cost of Repairs. The foregoing notwithstanding, in the event any casualty results in the cancellation of, or rental abatement under, any Lease, Buyer shall have the option to terminate this Agreement without regard to the cost of repairs. Any notice required to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Paragraph shall be delivered no later than thirty (30) days following Buyer’s receipt of Seller’s notice of such casualty.
11. | Eminent Domain. |
If, before the Close of Escrow, proceedings are commenced for the taking by exercise of the power of eminent domain of all or a material part of the Real Property which, as reasonably determined by Buyer, would render the Real Property unacceptable to Buyer or unsuitable for Buyer’s intended use, Buyer shall have the right, by giving written notice to Seller within thirty (30) days after Seller gives notice of the commencement of such proceedings to Buyer, to terminate this Agreement, in which event this Agreement shall automatically terminate, the Deposit shall be returned to Buyer without any further action required from either party and neither party shall have any continuing obligations hereunder. If, before the Close of Escrow, proceedings are commenced for the taking by exercise of the power of eminent domain of less than a material part of the Real Property, or if Buyer has the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to the preceding sentence but Buyer does not exercise such right, then this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and, on the Close of Escrow, the condemnation award (or, if not theretofore received, the right to receive such portion of the award) payable on account of the taking shall be assigned, or paid to, Buyer. Seller shall give written notice to Buyer within three (3) business days after Seller’s receiving notice of the commencement of any proceedings for the taking by exercise of the power of eminent domain of all or any part of the Real Property. The foregoing notwithstanding, in the event the taking results in the cancellation of, or rent abatement under, any Lease, Buyer shall have the option to terminate this Agreement.
12. | Notices. |
All notices, demands, or other communications of any type given by any party hereunder, whether required by this Agreement or in any way related to the transaction contracted for herein, shall be void and of no effect unless given in accordance with the provisions of this Paragraph. All notices shall be in writing and delivered to the person to whom the
23
notice is directed, either (a) in person, (b) by United States Mail, as a registered or certified item, return receipt requested, (c) by telecopy or (d) by a nationally recognized overnight delivery courier.

13. | Remedies. |
13.1. | Defaults by Seller. If there is any default by Seller under this Agreement, following notice to Seller and seven (7) days thereafter during which period Seller may cure the default, Buyer may at its |
24
option, either (a) declare this Agreement terminated in which case the Deposit shall be returned to Buyer without any further action required from either party, and bring an action for any damages incurred by Buyer or (b) treat the Agreement as being in full force and effect and bring an action against Seller for specific performance. The foregoing notwithstanding, no right to cure shall extend the Close of Escrow. |
13.2. | Defaults by Buyer. If there is any default by Buyer under this Agreement, following notice to Buyer and seven (7) days, during which period Buyer may cure the default, Seller may, as its sole remedy, declare this Agreement terminated, in which case the Deposit shall be paid to Seller as liquidated damages and each party shall thereupon be relieved of all further obligations and liabilities, except any which survive termination. The foregoing notwithstanding, no right to cure shall extend the Close of Escrow. |
In the event this Agreement is terminated due to the default of Buyer hereunder, Buyer shall, in addition, deliver to Seller, at no cost to Seller, the Due Diligence Items.
14. | Assignment. |
Buyer may assign any or all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to any one or more persons or entities upon notice to Seller; provided however, that absent the express agreement of Seller, no such assignment shall release Buyer from its liabilities hereunder.
15. | Interpretation and Applicable Law. |
This Agreement shall be construed and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State where the Real Property is located. Where required for proper interpretation, words in the singular shall include the plural; the masculine gender shall include the neuter and the feminine, and vice versa. The terms “successors and assigns” shall include the heirs, administrators, executors, successors, and assigns, as applicable, of any party hereto.
16. | Amendment. |
This Agreement may not be modified or amended, except by an agreement in writing signed by the parties. The parties may waive any of the conditions contained herein or any of the obligations of the other
25
party hereunder, but any such waiver shall be effective only if in writing and signed by the party waiving such conditions and obligations.
17. | Attorney’s Fees. |
In the event it becomes necessary for either party to file a suit to enforce this Agreement or any provisions contained herein, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover, in addition to all other remedies or damages, reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of court incurred in such suit.
18. | Entire Agreement; Survival. |
This Agreement (and the items to be furnished in accordance herewith) constitutes the entire agreement between the parties pertaining to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements and understandings of the parties in connection therewith. No representation, warranty, covenant, agreement, or condition not expressed in this Agreement shall be binding upon the parties hereto nor shall affect or be effective to interpret, change, or restrict the provisions of this Agreement. The obligations of the parties hereunder and all other provisions of this Agreement shall survive the Close of Escrow or earlier termination of this Agreement, except as expressly limited herein.
19. | Counterparts. |
This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, all of which when taken together shall constitute the entire agreement of the parties.
20. | Acceptance. |
Time is of the essence of this Agreement. If the final date of any period falls upon a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday under the Federal law or laws of the States of Florida and California, then in such event the expiration date of such period shall be extended to the next day which is not a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday under Federal law or the laws of the States of Florida and California.
21. | Real Estate Commission. |
Seller and Buyer each represent and warrant to the other that neither Seller nor Buyer has contacted or entered into any agreement with any real estate broker, agent, finder or any other party in connection with
26
this transaction, and that neither party has taken any action which would result in any real estate broker’s, finder’s or other fees or commissions being due and payable to any party with respect to the transaction contemplated hereby, except that Seller has contracted with Marcus & Millichap as its broker and will pay a commission to said broker in the amount of One Hundred Thirty One Thousand, Three Hundred Dollars ($131,300.00) and a commission of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000.00) to Triple Net Properties Realty, Inc. if, but only if, the Close of Escrow occurs pursuant to this Agreement. Such commission shall be payable upon the Close of Escrow from the proceeds of the Purchase Price deposited by Buyer. Each party hereby indemnifies and agrees to hold the other party harmless from any loss, liability, damage, cost, or expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) resulting to the other party by reason of a breach of the representation and warranty made by such party in this Paragraph.
22. | Financing Contingency. |
THIS FINANCING CONTINGENCY HAS BEEN WAIVED.
23. | Cooperation with S-X 3-14 Audit. |
The Seller acknowledges that Buyer intends to assign all of its rights, title and interest in and to this Agreement.

The Seller acknowledges that it has been advised that if the purchaser is a Registered Company, the assignee is required to make certain filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC Filings”) that related to the most recent pre-acquisition fiscal year (the “Audited Year”) for the Property.
