respective Affiliates originally sold to and/or developed on behalf of each
applicable Seller each of the Properties and at all times thereafter have leased
and exclusively controlled the same. Buyer further represents that it
has had ample opportunity to inspect and has, in fact, made all of the

requirements which may be imposed upon any Seller pursuant to § 25359.7 of the
California Health & Safety Code or any other similar and applicable
Laws. If this Agreement is not terminated and Buyer acquires the
Properties as provided herein, Buyer shall have thereby approved all aspects
of

under any Related Purchase Agreement shall have occurred and be
continuing.

that if any of the conditions set forth in Sections 5.4.2 , 5.4.3 or 5.4.4

Affiliate of Sellers, then Sellers shall not be entitled to disapprove such
condition, but rather the same shall, following any applicable notice and cure
period pursuant to Section 7.2 below, constitute a default by Sellers
hereunder. In the event that Sellers are not entitled to disapprove a
condition or Sellers fail to approve, disapprove or waive such condition, if
applicable, prior to the Closing, then such condition shall be deemed
conclusively satisfied or waived by Sellers and thereafter shall not be a
condition precedent to the performance by Sellers of their respective

Deleted];
6.2.5
Seller’s Certificate. If any
express representation or warranty of any Seller set forth in Section 8 hereof
needs to be modified due to changes since the Effective Date, a certificate
of
such Seller, dated as of the Closing Date and executed on behalf of such Seller
by a duly authorized representative thereof, identifying any such representation
or warranty which is not, or no longer is, true and correct and explaining
the
state of facts giving rise to the change. In no event shall any
Seller have any Liability to Buyer for, or be deemed to be in default hereunder

8
hereof which results from any change that (i) occurs between the Effective
Date

of
this Agreement or beyond the reasonable control of such Seller to
prevent. The occurrence of a change in a representation or warranty
which is permitted hereunder or is beyond the reasonable control of any Seller
to prevent shall, if materially adverse to Buyer, constitute the non-fulfillment
of the conditions set forth in Section 5.1.1 hereof. If, despite
changes or other matters described in such certificate, the Closing occurs,
any
applicable Seller’s representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement
shall be deemed to have been modified by all statements made in any certificate
of such Seller delivered pursuant to this Section 6.2.4;

reasonably required by Escrow Holder in order to cause any Title Policy

required to execute and deliver a so-called owner’s or ALTA affidavit or
indemnity or a mechanics’ lien indemnity with respect to any Property, except in
form and substance acceptable to such Seller in its sole, but reasonable
discretion, and in any event any such affidavit shall be limited to (a) the
actual knowledge of such Seller (without investigation or the duty to
investigate) and (b) the direct actions of Seller;
6.2.7 Closing
Statement. A duly executed and acknowledged counterpart
of a joint buyer/seller estimated closing statement to be prepared by Escrow

Buyer’s Certificate. If any
representation or warranty of Buyer set forth in Section 8 hereof needs to
be
modified due to changes since the Effective Date, a certificate of Buyer
addressed to Sellers, dated as of the Closing Date and executed on behalf of
Buyer by a duly authorized representative thereof, identifying any such
representation or warranty which is not, or no longer is, true and correct
and
explaining the state of facts giving rise to the change. In no event
shall Buyer have any Liability to Sellers for, or be deemed to be in default
hereunder by reason of any breach of a representation or warranty set forth
in
Section 8 hereof which results from any change that (i) occurs between the
Effective Date and the Closing Date and (ii) is either expressly permitted
under
the terms of this Agreement or is beyond the reasonable control of Buyer to
prevent. The occurrence of a change in a representation or warranty
which is permitted hereunder or is beyond the reasonable control of Buyer to
prevent shall, if materially adverse to Sellers, or any of them, constitute
the
non-fulfillment of the conditions set forth in Section 5.4.5

certificate, the Closing occurs, Buyer’s representations and warranties set
forth in this Agreement shall be deemed to have been modified by all statements

so
requested by Buyer, with a copy to be delivered to each applicable Seller,

indefeasible title to such Property vested in Buyer as of the Closing Date
in

of record or apparent as Buyer and Title Company may agree (each, a “Title
Policy”) and including such endorsements thereto as Buyer may request and Title
Company agrees to issue (the “Title Endorsements”). The cost of each
Title Policy and all Title Endorsements thereto shall be borne by the parties
as
provided in Section 6.6 below.

agree that the each Master Lease is absolutely net to the applicable Lessor,

insurance premiums, utility charges and other expenses incurred in connection
with the operation, maintenance and use of the respective
Property. Accordingly, Buyer and/or the applicable Lessee shall be
solely responsible for all such amounts whether accruing prior to or after
the

Sellers hereunder. Any adjustments or prorations of such amounts
between Buyer and any Lessee shall be solely between such parties and neither
Sellers nor Escrow Holder shall be concerned therewith.

anything to the contrary herein, all Rents and Charges shall belong to and
be
paid over to the applicable Lessor by the applicable Lessee on the Closing

additional charge therefore.
6.6.5 If
the Closing does not occur for any reason other than Sellers’ default hereunder,
Buyer shall pay all title and Escrow cancellation charges and
expenses. If the Closing does not occur by reason of Sellers’ default

below. In addition, without limiting the foregoing, the parties
acknowledge and agree that the occurrence of any event of the type described

in the failure of the conditions set forth therein shall also constitute and
be
deemed a default by Buyer under this Agreement entitling Sellers to exercise

default as provided in the last sentence of either of Section 7.1.1 or Section
7.1.2 above) of either party of any of its duties, obligations, representations
or warranties under this Agreement, then the non-defaulting party may elect, by
written notice to the defaulting party and to Escrow Holder, to terminate Escrow
and this Agreement, and the Master Purchase Agreement shall govern the
disbursement of the Xxxxxxx Money Deposit as provided therein. Such
termination shall be effective five (5) days after delivery of such notice
(the
“Effective Termination Date”); provided, that (i) the non-defaulting
party has performed or is in a position to perform all obligations on its part
to be performed as of the Effective Termination Date other than those
obligations which the non-defaulting party is prevented from having performed
by
reason of the defaulting party’s breach or default; and (ii) the defaulting
party has not cured the default and the non-defaulting party has not waived
such
default by the Effective Termination Date. Except as otherwise
provided below in this Section 7.2 and Section 6.6.5 above and in the Master
Purchase Agreement, Escrow Holder and the parties shall, upon such termination,
return all of the other party’s funds and documents then held by them to the
party depositing or delivering the same. Thereafter, each of the
