If Buyer waives its right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 4.3 and the Seller Response contains any commitment to cure any of the items set forth in Buyer’s Objection Notice, Seller’s obligation to cause such cures as set forth in the Seller Response shall be an additional Seller covenant and also a condition precedent to Buyer’s obligations to close. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall not be obligated to provide to Title Company or Buyer any owner’s affidavit, indemnity, certifications, covenants, obligations or liabilities beyond those that Seller is providing to Buyer under this Agreement or which go beyond that required for the issuance by Title Company.

If Seller is unable or unwilling to cure any such New Title Document Matter to the sole satisfaction of Buyer (in Buyer’s sole and absolute discretion) within the lesser of 5 days following receipt by Seller of a New Buyer Objection or the Closing Date, Buyer shall have the right either to (i) waive such New Title Document Matter and proceed to Closing without any adjustment in the Purchase Price, or (ii) terminate this Agreement and receive a return of the Deposit (in addition to any other remedies that Buyer may have under this Agreement if the New Title Document Matter was caused by a breach of a covenant or representation of Seller under this Agreement).
5.2 Permitted Exceptions. The exceptions to title disclosed in the Title Commitment, other than (a) those title exceptions to which Buyer has tendered an objection in the Buyer Objection Notice or New Buyer Objection which are not subsequently cured or the objection waived (or deemed waived) by Buyer pursuant to Section 5.1, (b) any delinquent taxes, shall be the “Permitted Exceptions” hereunder. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Seller shall discharge and remove any and all Liens affecting the Property caused by Seller or the result of the acts or agreements of Seller which secure an obligation to pay money (other than installments of real and personal property taxes and liens for special improvements not delinquent as of the Closing), and such Liens shall not be Permitted Exceptions (whether or not Buyer expressly objects to such Liens).
5.3 Issuance of Title Policy. Delivery of title in accordance with the foregoing provisions shall be evidenced by the willingness of the Title Company to issue to Buyer, at Closing, owner’s policy of title insurance insuring good, marketable, insurable title to the Real Property in Buyer or its assignee in the amount of the Purchase Price, subject only to the Permitted Exceptions (the “Title Policy”). The issuance of the Title Policy shall be a condition to Buyer’s obligation to close hereunder.

Buyer shall pay Seller an amount equal to $2,500.00 to reimburse Seller for the actual costs of the Parking Lot Work promptly following the later of (a) Closing or (b) in the event the Parking Lot Work is not completed and the Completion Evidence isn’t delivered to Buyer prior to Closing, promptly following completion of the Parking Lot Work and delivery of the Completion Evidence.

Prorations and Closing Expenses
12.1 Closing Adjustments. In addition to any other credits or prorations provided elsewhere in this Agreement, the cash due at Closing pursuant to Section 2.2 shall be adjusted as of the Closing Date in accordance with the provisions set forth in this Section 12.1. Buyer and Seller agree to prepare a proration schedule (the “Proration Schedule”) of adjustments 5 Business Days prior to Closing. Such adjustments, if and to the extent known and agreed upon as of the Closing Date, shall be paid by Buyer to Seller (if the prorations result in a net credit to Seller) or by Seller to Buyer (if the prorations result in a net credit to Buyer), by increasing or reducing the cash to be paid by Buyer at Closing. Any such adjustments not determined or agreed upon as of the Closing Date, shall be paid by Buyer to Seller, or Seller to Buyer, as the case may be, in cash as soon as practicable following the Closing Date. For purposes of calculating prorations and the Proration Schedule, Buyer shall be deemed to be title holder of the Property, and therefore entitled to the revenue and responsible for the expenses, after 12:00 a.m. on the Closing Date.
(a) Taxes. All non-delinquent real and personal property taxes, assessments and any other governmental or quasi-governmental impositions of any kind on or relating to the Property shall be prorated to the Closing Date based on the most recent and available assessed valuations, mill levies and taxes available; provided, however, if real or personal property taxes are estimated and not known, or supplemental taxes are assessed, then once known, after Closing, Seller and Buyer promptly shall pay to the other any amount required as a result of such adjustments. Prior to Closing, Seller shall pay all taxes and special assessments on the Property as and when they become due and prior to delinquency. Any Special Assessment which may be and is actually being paid in
installments over more than one calendar year shall be paid as follows: Seller shall be responsible, on a prorata basis, for all installments due in 2018 up to Closing and all prior years and Buyer shall be responsible for all installments first becoming due after Closing. In all events proration shall include the maximum discount for early payment of taxes (but only if and to the extent obtained as to taxes due or paid prior to Closing).
(b) Revenue and Expenses.
(i) All rent (whether fixed monthly rentals, additional rentals, escalation rentals, retroactive rentals, Operating Expense pass-throughs (except as provided in Section 12.1(b)(v)) or other sums and charges payable by Tenant under the Arctic Lease) shall be prorated as of the Closing Date (based on a 365 day year). Buyer shall receive all rent and revenue accruing on and after the Closing Date (including, as a credit against the Purchase Price, the sum of any rentals already received by Seller attributable to the period as of and after the Closing Date and any rent concessions which accrue to Tenant on and after the Closing Date). Seller shall receive rent and revenue accruing prior to the Closing Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall not be entitled to a credit for any prepaid expenses which do not benefit Buyer after Buyer acquires the Property. Further, notwithstanding the foregoing, no prorations shall be made for any unpaid amounts due and payable prior to Closing or for delinquent rents existing, if any, as of the Closing Date. Although no adjustments shall be made in Seller’s favor for rents which have accrued and are unpaid up to the date of Closing, Buyer shall pay Seller such accrued and unpaid rents as and when collected by Buyer, it being agreed, however, that Buyer shall not be deemed to have collected such arrearages attributable to the period prior to Closing until such time as Tenant is current in the payment of all rent and other sums accruing as of or after the Closing Date. For a period of 90 days after the Closing, Buyer agrees to xxxx Tenant for all past due rents that are accrued but unpaid as of the Closing; however, (A) Buyer shall not be obligated to incur any out-of-pocket expenses (unless paid by Seller), (B) Buyer may deduct any of its reasonable costs of collection from any amounts due Seller, and (C) under any circumstance, Buyer shall not be obligated to file any legal action or terminate the Arctic Lease. Seller may take reasonable action to collect any delinquent rents provided that Seller may not commence any legal action against Tenant seeking termination of any lease and Seller may not commence any other legal action against Tenant prior to the date which is 30 days after Closing.
(ii) At Closing, Buyer shall receive as a credit against the Purchase Price in an amount equal to the security deposit required to be made under the Arctic Lease.
(iii) To the extent the utilities are not in the name of Tenant, the readings and xxxxxxxx for utilities will be made if possible as of the day before the Closing Date, in which case Seller shall pay all such bills and no proration shall be made at the Closing with respect to utility bills. Seller shall be entitled to the return of any deposit(s) posted by it with any utility company, and Buyer, with assistance from Seller shall notify each utility company serving the Property of the sale as of the Closing. Seller agrees to reasonably cooperate with Buyer in transferring utility service and company accounts with respect to the Property.
(iv) No proration shall be made for insurance premiums and insurance policies will not be assigned to Buyer.
(v) At least 10 Business Days prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall provide Buyer with a reasonably detailed reconciliation for Tenant showing all pass-throughs payable by Tenant (collectively, the “Operating Expenses”) incurred by Seller from the beginning of 2018 up to the Closing Date. To the extent that Seller has received as of the Closing any monthly or periodic payments of Operating Expenses allocable to periods on or subsequent to the Closing Date, the same shall be prorated and Buyer shall receive a credit therefor at the Closing. With respect to any monthly or periodic payments of Operating Expenses received by Buyer after the Closing allocable to a Seller prior to Closing, Buyer shall promptly pay the same to Seller (subject to the provisions in Section 12.1(b)(i) for delinquent rentals). Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that the year-end Operating Expense reconciliation process regarding the Arctic Lease reveals that Seller has over-collected Operating Expenses, said over collection shall be paid by Seller to Buyer promptly following demand by Buyer and in the event such reconciliation shows an under collection such that Seller would be entitled to additional payment from Tenant, the same shall be paid by Buyer to Seller within 5 Business Days after receipt from Tenant.
(c) Liens. The amount of any monetary Lien caused by Seller or based on the acts or agreements of Seller (including all prepayment penalties) affecting the Property on the Closing Date, other than as a result of the actions by, through or under Buyer, shall be paid from the funds to which Seller otherwise shall be entitled. If such funds are insufficient to pay all such encumbrances, Seller shall pay the deficiency.
(d) Closing Costs. Each party shall pay its own costs and expenses arising in connection with the Closing (including its own attorneys’ and advisors’ fees, charges and disbursements), except the costs set forth in this paragraph which shall be allocated between the parties as set forth herein. Buyer shall pay (i) the premium for the Title Policy and any endorsements Buyer elects, (ii) the cost of the Survey, (iii) the cost to record the Deed, and (iv) the customary closing costs and escrow fees of the Title Company and Escrow Agent related to the transfer of the Property. Seller shall pay (a) all documentary taxes related to the transfer of the Property and (b) the cost of discharging any Liens caused by Seller or based on the acts or agreements of Seller against the Property and recording any instruments in connection therewith.
12.2 Settlement Sheet. At the Closing, Seller and Buyer shall execute a closing settlement sheet to reflect the credits, prorations and adjustments contemplated by or specifically provided for in this Agreement.
12.3 Post Closing Adjustments. Buyer and Seller shall undertake, following Closing, to adjust between themselves, as of the Closing Date, any revenue or expenses of the Property that are not adjusted on the settlement statement. Seller shall pay promptly upon receipt any bills relating to the operation of the Property for periods prior to Closing.

IF BUYER TERMINATES THIS AGREEMENT PURSUANT TO THIS SECTION 13.1 DUE TO SELLER’S FAILURE TO CONSUMMATE THE CLOSING IN BREACH HEREOF, BUYER AND SELLER AGREE THAT BUYER’S ACTUAL DAMAGES WOULD BE IMPRACTICABLE OR EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO ASCERTAIN. THE PARTIES THEREFORE AGREE THAT, IN SUCH EVENT, BUYER, AS BUYER’S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY, IS ENTITLED TO THE AMOUNTS SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION 13.1. EXCEPT FOR THE REMEDIES PROVIDED FOR HEREIN, BUYER IRREVOCABLY WAIVES THE RIGHT TO SEEK OR OBTAIN ANY OTHER LEGAL OR EQUITABLE REMEDIES, INCLUDING FOR DAMAGES OF ANY KIND OR NATURE INCLUDING FOR ANY SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR SPECULATIVE DAMAGES AS A RESULT OF SELLER’S FAILURE TO CONSUMMATE THE CLOSING IN BREACH HEREOF.

THE PARTIES THEREFORE AGREE THAT, IN SUCH EVENT, SELLER, AS SELLER’S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY, IS ENTITLED TO LIQUIDATED DAMAGES IN THE AMOUNT OF THE DEPOSIT (INCLUSIVE OF INTEREST AND DIVIDENDS EARNED THEREON), IN WHICH CASE (A) THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF BUYER AND SELLER HEREUNDER SHALL BE OF NO FURTHER FORCE OR EFFECT AND NEITHER PARTY SHALL HAVE ANY FURTHER RIGHTS OR OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER OTHER THAN PURSUANT TO ANY PROVISION HEREOF WHICH EXPRESSLY SURVIVES THE TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT, (B) ESCROW AGENT SHALL DELIVER THE DEPOSIT (INCLUSIVE OF INTEREST AND DIVIDENDS EARNED THEREON) TO SELLER PURSUANT TO SELLER’S INSTRUCTIONS, AND THE SAME SHALL BE THE FULL, AGREED AND LIQUIDATED DAMAGES, AND (C) ALL TITLE AND ESCROW CANCELLATION CHARGES, IF ANY, SHALL BE CHARGED TO BUYER.

The foregoing guaranty shall be coterminous with Seller’s liability for post-Closing obligations under this Agreement and shall expire at the end of the Survival Period only. The provisions of this Section 15.4 shall survive the Closing.
15.5 Partial Invalidity. If any provision of this Agreement is determined to be unenforceable, such provision shall be reformed and enforced to the maximum extent permitted by Law. If it cannot be reformed, it shall be stricken from and construed for all purposes not to constitute a part of this Agreement, and the remaining portions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall, for all purposes, constitute this entire Agreement.
15.6 Time of Essence. Time shall be of the essence with respect to all matters contemplated by this Agreement.
15.7 Construction of Agreement. All parties hereto acknowledge that they have had the benefit of independent counsel with regard to this Agreement and that this Agreement has been prepared as a result of the joint efforts of all parties and their respective counsel. Accordingly, all parties agree that the provisions of this Agreement shall not be construed or interpreted for or against any party hereto based upon authorship.
15.8 Like-Kind Exchange Cooperation Clause. Seller and Buyer acknowledge and agree that the purchase and sale of the Property may be part of a tax-free exchange under Section 1031 of the Code for either Buyer or Seller. Each party hereby agrees to take all reasonable steps on or before the Closing Date to facilitate such exchange if requested by the other party, provided that (a) no party making such accommodation shall be required to acquire any substitute property, (b) such exchange shall not affect the representations, warranties, liabilities, covenants and obligations of the Parties to each other under the Agreement, (c) no party making such accommodation shall incur any additional cost, expense or liability in connection with such exchange (other than expenses of reviewing and executing documents required in connection with such exchange), and (d) no dates in the Agreement will be extended as a result thereof unless by mutual written agreement of the parties or pursuant to the last sentence of this Section 15.8. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the foregoing, if Seller so elects to close the transfer of the Property as an exchange, then (i) Seller, at its sole option, may delegate its obligations to transfer some or all of the assets under the Agreement, and may assign its rights to receive all or a portion of the Purchase Price from Buyer, to a deferred exchange qualified intermediary (a “QI”) or to an exchange accommodation titleholder (“EAT”), as the case may be; (ii) such delegation and assignment shall in no way reduce, modify or otherwise affect the obligations of Seller pursuant to the Agreement; (iii) Seller shall remain fully liable for its obligations under the Agreement as if such delegation and assignment shall not have taken place; (iv) QI or EAT, as the case may be, shall have no liability to Buyer; and (v) the closing of the transfer of the Property to Buyer shall be undertaken by direct deed, assignment and other appropriate conveyance from Seller (or, if applicable, from other affiliates of Seller whom Seller will cause to execute such deeds, assignments and other appropriate instruments of conveyance) to Buyer or to EAT, as the case may be. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the foregoing, if Buyer so elects to close the acquisition of the Property as an exchange, then (i) Buyer, at its sole option, may delegate its obligations to acquire the Property under the Agreement, and may assign its rights to receive the Property from Seller, to a QI or to an EAT, as the case may be; (ii) such delegation and assignment shall in no way reduce, modify or otherwise affect the obligations of Buyer pursuant to the Agreement; (iii) Buyer shall remain fully liable for its obligations under the Agreement as if such delegation and assignment shall not have taken place; (iv) QI or EAT, as the case may be, shall have no liability to Seller; and (v) the closing of the acquisition of the Property by Buyer or the EAT, as the case may be, shall be undertaken by direct deed from Seller (or, if applicable, from other affiliates of Seller whom Seller will cause to execute such deeds, assignments and other appropriate instruments of conveyance) to Buyer or to EAT, as the case may be. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 15.8 to the contrary, Buyer or Seller shall have the right to extend the Closing Date for up to thirty (30) days in order to facilitate a tax free exchange pursuant to this Section 15.8 and to obtain all documentation in connection therewith.
15.9 Amendments/Waiver. No amendment, change or modification of this Agreement shall be valid unless the same is in writing and signed by both Buyer and Seller. No waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be valid unless in writing and signed by the party against whom it is sought to be enforced. No waiver of any provision shall be deemed a continuing waiver of such provision or of this Agreement.

15.13 Governing Law/Jurisdiction. This Agreement and the legal relations between the parties hereto shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the state of Florida, without regard to the conflicts of laws principles thereof.
