(i) Within three (3) Business Days after the Effective Date, Purchaser shall deliver to Escrow Agent cash in an amount equal to TWO MILLION TWO HUNDRED TWENTY SEVEN THOUSAND SEVENTY SEVEN AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($2,227,077.00) (together with all accrued interest thereon, the “Xxxxxxx Money”) in immediately available funds by wire transfer to the Xxxxxxx Money Escrow Account. If the Xxxxxxx Money is not deposited by Purchaser as and when due and payable hereunder, Seller shall have the right in its sole and absolute discretion to terminate this Agreement by written notice to Purchaser and Escrow Agent, whereupon no party shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder except for those that expressly survive the termination of this Agreement.

(ii) Purchaser agrees and acknowledges that the entire Xxxxxxx Money shall be non-refundable to Purchaser from and after the Effective Date except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement.

(iii) Prior to the Loan Pay-Off Wire Deadline on the Closing Date, or prior to the Closing Date, Purchaser shall deposit with the Escrow Agent, by wire transfer of immediately available funds (through the escrow described in Section 2.3), the Purchase Price, as adjusted by the application of the Xxxxxxx Money, and by the adjustments, prorations and credits provided herein. The amount to be paid under this Section 2.2(a)(iii) is referred to herein as the “Closing Funds.”

(b) Upon delivery by Purchaser to Escrow Agent, the Xxxxxxx Money will be deposited by Escrow Agent in the Xxxxxxx Money Escrow Account, and shall be held in escrow in accordance with the provisions of Section 14.4. All interest earned on the Xxxxxxx Money while held by Escrow Agent shall be paid to the party to whom the Xxxxxxx Money is paid, except that if Closing occurs, Purchaser shall receive a credit against the Purchase Price for such interest in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(c) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in the event this Agreement is terminated by either Seller or Purchaser prior to the Closing (as hereinafter defined) pursuant to any right to do so in this Agreement, ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS ($100.00) of the Xxxxxxx Money (the “Independent Contract Consideration”) shall be paid to Seller, which amount the parties bargained for and agreed to as consideration for Purchaser’s right to inspect and purchase the Real Property pursuant to this Agreement and for Seller’s execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement.

There shall be no requirement that Seller and Purchaser physically attend the Closing, and all funds and documents to be delivered at the Closing shall be delivered to the Escrow Agent unless the parties hereto mutually agree otherwise. Purchaser and Seller hereby authorize their respective attorneys to execute and deliver to the Escrow Agent any additional or supplementary instructions as may be necessary or convenient to implement the terms of this Agreement and to facilitate Closing; provided, however, that such instructions shall be consistent with and merely supplement this Agreement and shall not in any way modify, amend or supersede this Agreement.

(u) Bonds and Letters of Credit. There are no development bonds, letters of credit or other collateral held by or posted with any Governmental Authority or other third party with respect to any improvement, subdivision or development obligations concerning any of the Real Property.

SECTION 3.2 Amendments to Schedules, Limitations on and Breaches of Representations and Warranties of Seller.

(a) Seller shall have the right to amend and supplement the schedules to this Agreement from time to time prior to the Closing by providing a written copy of such amendment or supplement to Purchaser; provided, however, that any amendment or supplement to the schedules to this Agreement shall have no effect for the purposes of determining whether a Seller breach has occurred, but shall only establish such amendments and supplements as a Purchaser Waived Breach in the event Purchaser proceeds to Closing following receipt of such information and shall therefore apply only as a defense to limit the indemnification obligations of Seller in Article 11 of this Agreement for the inaccuracy or untruth of the representation or warranty qualified by such amendment or supplement following Closing. Seller hereby acknowledges and agrees that Purchaser expressly reserves and may freely exercise all rights and remedies available to it under Section 13.2 of this Agreement following Seller’s amendment or supplement of the schedules and exhibits to this Agreement.

(b) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if the representations and warranties relating to the Rent Roll as set forth in Section 3.1(k) and the status of the tenants thereunder were true and correct in all material respects as of the Effective Date, no change in circumstances or status of such tenants (e.g., defaults, bankruptcies, below market status or other adverse matters relating to such tenants or a tenant’s exercise following the Effective Date of any Lease termination rights not caused by the acts or omissions of Seller) occurring after the Effective Date shall permit Purchaser to terminate this Agreement or constitute grounds for Purchaser’s failure to close or otherwise constitute a breach of any representation or warranty by Seller.

(i) “Representation Conditions” shall mean that all representations or warranties of Seller were true, correct and complete in all material respects when made.

(ii) “Changed Condition Threshold” shall mean a Changed Condition (as hereinafter defined) whose cost of cure will exceed $500,000.00 for the Property individually or for the Property Group collectively, as determined by a third party that is mutually acceptable to the parties in their commercially reasonable discretion.

(d) If, after the Effective Date and prior to the Closing Date, Seller’s representations or warranties become untrue, inaccurate or incorrect (a “Changed Condition”), Seller shall give Purchaser written notice thereof within five (5) Business Days (but, in any event, prior to Closing) of Seller’s Knowledge of the Changed Condition (a “Changed Condition Notice”).

(e) If the Representation Conditions have been satisfied, but the Changed Condition does not meet the Changed Condition Threshold, Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Changed Condition to be cured at or prior to Closing. In the event that, despite commercially reasonable efforts, Seller is unable to cure the Changed Condition by Closing, Seller shall not be in default hereunder, but Purchaser shall be entitled to a credit against the Purchase Price at Closing equal to the estimated remaining cost to cure the Changed Condition, which shall be determined by a third party that is mutually acceptable to the parties in their commercially reasonable discretion.

(f) If the Representation Conditions have been satisfied and the Changed Condition meets or exceeds the Changed Condition Threshold, within five (5) Business Days after the delivery of the Changed Condition Notice, Seller shall notify Purchaser in writing of whether Seller (i) elects to cure the Changed Condition by Closing, or (ii) declines to cure the Changed Condition. If Seller elects to cure the Changed Condition by Closing pursuant to this Section 3.2(f), then the Purchaser shall be obligated to close on the Property pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and Seller shall be obligated to cure the Changed Condition at or prior to Closing. If Seller does not timely make an election under this subsection (f), Seller shall be deemed to have declined to cure the Changed Condition. If Seller declines to cure the Changed Condition, or is deemed to have declined to do so, then Purchaser shall have five (5) Business Days thereafter, to elect, as its sole and exclusive remedy (and the Closing shall be automatically extended to account for such five (5) Business Day period, if necessary), in its sole and absolute discretion, by written notice to the Seller within said five (5) Business Day period, (x) to continue with the purchase of the Property without adjustment of the Purchase Price, or (y) to terminate this Agreement by providing written notice thereof to the Seller. If Purchaser elects to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 3.2(f), the Xxxxxxx Money shall be immediately returned to Purchaser and thereafter the parties shall be released from further liability or obligation hereunder, except for those matters which specifically survive the termination hereof. If Purchaser fails to notify the Seller and Escrow Agent of its election to terminate this Agreement within said five (5) Business Day time period provided above, Purchaser shall be deemed to have accepted the Changed Condition and to have elected to purchase the Property without adjustment to the Purchase Price. If Seller elects to cure the Changed Condition by Closing, but thereafter fails to do so, Seller shall be in material default under this Agreement and all remedies set forth in Section 13.2 shall be available to Purchaser due to such default.

(g) For the avoidance of doubt, in the event a representation or warranty of Seller is untrue, incorrect or incomplete in any material respect when made, or becomes untrue, incorrect or incomplete in any material respect on or after the Effective Date due to a breach of any of the Seller’s obligations or covenants under this Agreement, then Seller shall be in default under this Agreement (subject to any applicable notice and cure rights), and all remedies set forth in Section 13.2 shall be available to Purchaser.

SECTION 3.3 Covenants of Seller Prior to Closing.

(a) From the Effective Date until the Closing or earlier termination of this Agreement (or such earlier date as set forth below), Seller or Seller’s agents shall:

(ii) Notices. Notify Purchaser promptly upon receipt of written notices of (i) violation, litigation, arbitration proceeding or administrative hearing (including condemnation) before any Governmental Authority which affects Seller or the Property, and is instituted after the Effective Date; (ii) default with respect to any Contract; (iii) litigation commenced or threatened in writing against Seller or Seller’s Property; (iv) litigation commenced or threatened in writing by Seller (other than residential tenant eviction proceedings); and (v) any other material written notice or communication received by Seller which could have a material effect on the operation of Seller’s Property or on the transactions contemplated under this Agreement.

(iii) Insurance.

(iv) Performance Under Leases. Perform, or cause its agents to perform, in all material respects, all material obligations of landlord or lessor under the Leases.

(v) Leasing Activity. Except for Leases or amendments to Leases entered into pursuant to renewal notices mailed prior to the Effective Date, unless Purchaser agrees otherwise in writing, any new leases or renewals of existing leases for apartment units entered into by Seller after the Effective Date until the Closing or earlier termination of this Agreement shall be on Seller’s standard apartment lease form for the Property, and shall be for terms of no less than six (6) months and no more than thirteen (13) months. In all cases, Seller shall retain the discretion to set rent rates, concessions and other terms of occupancy consistent with then-extant market conditions for the Property. After the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, Purchaser shall have the right to participate in a weekly call with Seller and its property manager to discuss operation of the Property, which shall be scheduled by Seller at the request of Purchaser, and which for the avoidance of doubt shall be a separate call from Seller’s operation calls with its property manager.

(vi) Contracts. Comply with all obligations of Seller under the Contracts, and, unless Purchaser agrees otherwise in writing, not enter into any service or other new Contract (or renew any existing Contract) that will be binding on Purchaser or the Property after Closing, other than Contracts necessary for emergency purposes in Seller’s commercially reasonable discretion.

(vii) Conveyances or Encumbrances of Property. Seller shall not sell, further pledge, encumber or otherwise transfer or dispose of all or any part of the Property (except for (i) such items of fixtures and tangible personal property as become obsolete or are disposed of in the ordinary course, and only if replaced by an item of like quality and functionality (unless the same is no longer necessary for the operation of such Property, as determined by Seller in its commercially reasonable discretion), and (ii) such other transfers and conveyances as are specifically permitted under this Agreement).

(viii) Updated Rent Roll. From time to time, upon written request by Purchaser (but in no event more often than once per week), Seller shall provide to Purchaser an updated Rent Roll with respect to the Property, which shall be in substantially the same format as the Rent Roll attached hereto as a portion of Schedule 3.1(k).

(ix) Property Changes. Not request or consent to any change, variance or other modification to the zoning, permits, entitlements or development incentives applicable to the Property, without Purchaser’s prior written consent which shall not be unreasonably withheld.

(x) Condition of Vacant Units. Make rent-ready all apartment units at the Property which become vacant five (5) or more Business Days prior to the Closing, or to credit Purchaser at Closing in the amount of $750.00 for each apartment unit at the Property which is vacant on the Closing Date, which was vacant five (5) or more Business Days prior to the Closing Date, and which has not been made rent-ready. For purposes of this paragraph, “rent-ready condition” shall mean the condition in which Seller currently delivers vacant units to new tenants at the Property in Seller’s ordinary course of business and operations, freshly painted and cleaned, with all appliances, fixtures, and equipment therein in good working order.

(xi) Intentionally omitted.

(xii) Legal Compliance. Not use or occupy, or knowingly allow the use or occupancy of, the Property in any manner which violates any governmental requirements or which constitutes waste or a public or private nuisance or which makes void, voidable or cancelable, or increases the premium of, any insurance then in force with respect thereto. Seller shall maintain, or cause to be maintained, in full force and effect all permits and licenses required to operate the Property and to execute Leases for the Property and collect rent thereunder.

(xiii) Intentionally omitted.

(xiv) Estoppels. Use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain and deliver to Purchaser any estoppels Purchaser may reasonably require in connection with the Permitted Exceptions (each individually an “Estoppel,” and collectively the “Estoppels”); provided, however, Seller shall not be obligated to incur any non de-minimis expense or fee to so obtain Estoppels other than may be required by the terms of the Permitted Exception or to obtain any Estoppels from residential tenants at the Property.

(xv) Alterations. After the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, not perform, nor permit the performance of, any material alterations, renovations or improvements to the Property without Purchaser’s prior written consent, which consent may be granted or withheld in Purchaser’s sole discretion, except for (A) alterations or improvements required to ensure the safety of the Property, and (B) the roofing repair work ongoing at the Property as of the Effective Date, to the extent that such work continues after the expiration of the Due Diligence Period.

(xvi) Transition. Cooperate with Purchaser in transitioning ownership and management of the Property to Purchaser or Purchaser’s designee, including, without limitation, ensuring that all rents from and after the Closing Date received by Seller are paid over to Purchaser or its designee.

(b) Existing Agreements. Seller shall terminate (or cause to be terminated) the Existing Management Agreement at or prior to Closing.

(c) Assumed Contracts. If Purchaser delivers a written notice of objection to any Contract prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, then, to the extent a termination right in favor of Seller is provided for in such Contract, or if such Contract does not prohibit termination, the Seller shall cause its Property Manager to provide a notice of termination within two (2) Business Days of the expiration of the Due Diligence Period to the vendor thereunder with respect to each such Contract to which Purchaser has timely objected (collectively, the “Objectionable Contracts”); provided, however, that (i) Purchaser may not object to any of the Contracts marked as “must assume” on Schedule 3.1(j) and shall assume the same at Closing pursuant to the Xxxx of Sale and Assignment; (ii) Seller shall have no obligation to terminate any Contract which by its terms is not terminable or which cannot be terminated without payment of an express termination fee or penalty, unless Purchaser agrees in writing to pay such termination fee or penalty; (iii) if the termination of any Objectionable Contract cannot be made effective upon the Closing Date (it being agreed and acknowledged that Seller shall not be obligated to pay any money to accomplish such termination), then such Objectionable Contract shall be assumed by Purchaser at Closing pursuant to the Xxxx of Sale and Assignment (together with all Assumed Contracts with respect to the Property that do not constitute Objectionable Contracts) for the remaining period of such Contract until its effective date of termination; and (iv) Purchaser shall be responsible for any termination fees payable with respect to the termination of any Objectionable Contracts. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser shall not be required or entitled to assume: (x) any Contract that, by its terms, may not be assigned to and assumed by Purchaser without the consent of a third party, unless such third party’s written consent is actually obtained at or before Closing; or (y) any Contract that is not reflected on Schedule 3.1(j). All Contracts that Purchaser is required to assume or elects to assume hereunder are collectively referred to herein as the “Assumed Contracts.”

(d) Anti-Terrorism Law. Seller shall take any actions that may be required to comply with the terms of the Anti-Bribery, Anti-Money Laundering and Anti-Terrorism Laws, as amended, any regulations promulgated under the foregoing Applicable Laws, any sanctions program administered by the U.S. Department of Treasury’s Office of Foreign Property Control or Financial Crimes Enforcement Network, or any other Applicable Laws designed to combat corruption, bribery, terrorism, drug-trafficking or money laundering.

(e) Exclusivity. From the Effective Date until the Closing or earlier termination of this Agreement, neither Seller, nor any of its brokers, affiliates or agents, shall engage in discussions directly or through its brokers, agents or representatives or otherwise negotiate with any Person or party, other than with Purchaser, in connection with the sale of the Property or any joint venture or similar transaction relating to the Property.

(f) Intentionally omitted.

(g) Excluded Assets. Nothing in this Section 3.3 shall restrict Seller’s rights with respect to any Excluded Assets or give Purchaser any approval, consent or other rights with respect thereto.

(b) Procedures. Purchaser and Purchaser’s Representatives shall conduct all Purchaser Investigations strictly in accordance with the following procedures:

(i) All Purchaser Investigations at the Property shall be conducted during the normal business hours of the Property on Business Days, unless Seller otherwise approves in writing and upon appropriate notice to tenants as required under any Leases.

Neither Purchaser nor any Purchaser’s Representative shall enter any portion of any Property until Seller has given written approval of both the request and any testing plan, which approval may be given by electronic mail to Xxxxx Xxxxxx at xxxxxxx@xxxxxxxxxxxx.xxx.

(iii) A representative of Seller shall have the right, but not the obligation, to be present during any Purchaser Investigation.

(iv) Neither Purchaser nor any Purchaser’s Representative shall interfere unreasonably with the use, occupancy or enjoyment rights of any tenants, occupants, invitees, employees or contractors of Seller at the Property or of any such tenants’ or occupants’ employees, contractors, customers or guests.

(v) Purchaser shall have no right to make inquiries of tenants, occupants, invitees, employees or contractors of Seller without Seller’s prior written consent, which may be conditioned upon an agent or representative of Seller accompanying Purchaser or Purchaser’s Representatives during such inquiries.

(vi) Purchaser shall have the right to make customary inquiries to confirm existing factual matters or to request publicly available information, in either case, with regard to the Property, arising in connection with (i) a Phase I environmental site assessment, (ii) a third-party zoning compliance report, (iii) a zoning compliance letter from applicable governmental authorities, (iv) a request for copies of permits and licenses, including certificates of occupancy, (v) a request to the applicable Governmental Authorities as to the status of the existing development rights or entitlements with respect to the Property, or (vi) taxes attributable to the Property. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither Purchaser nor any Purchaser Representative shall affirmatively request any governmental or quasi-governmental agency to undertake any action which would or could lead to a hearing before any governmental or quasi-governmental agency, or which would or could lead to a note or notice of violation of law or municipal ordinance, order or requirement imposed by such an agency, at the Property, or any change in zoning, licenses, permits or other entitlements or any investigation or restriction on the use of the Property or any part thereof by such an agency, except to the extent that Seller provides prior written consent to such inquiries in Seller’s sole discretion.

(vii) Following each entry by Purchaser or any Purchaser’s Representative with respect to any Purchaser Investigation, Purchaser shall promptly restore, or cause to be restored, the Property to substantially the same condition as existed immediately prior to the Purchaser Investigation. Except in connection with radon testing, Purchaser shall not have the right to submit any samples or other materials to any testing laboratory or similar facility without obtaining the prior written consent of Seller in Seller’s sole discretion. The restoration provisions of this subsection shall survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement.

(viii) Prior to entering onto the Property to conduct any Purchaser Investigation, Purchaser shall obtain (or shall cause Purchaser’s Representatives to obtain), and during the period of all Purchaser Investigations shall maintain or cause to be maintained, at the sole expense of Purchaser or Purchaser’s Representatives, with respect to the Property: (A) commercial general liability (“CGL”) insurance, issued on a form at least as broad as Insurance Services Office (“ISO”) Commercial General Liability Coverage “occurrence” form CG 00 01 10 01 or another “occurrence” form providing equivalent coverage, including contractual liability coverage with respect to Purchaser’s obligations under this Agreement and personal injury liability coverage, with limits of not less than Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000) for any one occurrence and Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) in the aggregate; (B) comprehensive automobile liability insurance (covering any automobiles owned or operated by Purchaser or Purchaser’s Representatives) issued on a form at least as broad as ISO Business Auto Coverage form CA 00 01 07 97 or other form providing equivalent coverage; (C) worker’s compensation insurance, and (D) employer’s liability insurance. Such automobile liability insurance shall be in an amount not less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) for each accident. Such worker’s compensation insurance shall carry minimum limits as defined by the law of the jurisdiction in which the applicable Property is located (as the same may be amended from time to time). Such employer’s liability insurance shall be in an amount not less than Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000) for each accident, Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000) disease-policy limit, and Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000) disease-each employee. Seller (and, upon Seller’s request, the Property Manager and Property mortgagee(s)) shall be named as additional insureds on the CGL and automobile liability insurance policies with respect to liability arising out of the named insured’s acts or omissions relating to the Property. Each such insurance policy shall be subject to Seller’s prior written approval, not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed (for avoidance of doubt, such written approval shall be deemed given by Seller allowing Purchaser and Purchaser’s Representatives on the Property to the extent the insurance policy otherwise satisfies the coverage types and amounts set forth in this Section 7.1(b)(viii)). Prior to making any entry upon the Property, Purchaser or Purchaser’s Representatives shall furnish to Seller a certificate of insurance evidencing the foregoing coverages for the Property, which certificate of insurance shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Seller.

(ix) Purchaser agrees (A) to promptly pay when due all costs associated with the Purchaser Investigations and (B) not to cause, permit or suffer any lien or encumbrance to be asserted against the Property related to the Purchaser Investigations. The provisions of this subsection shall survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement.

(x) Purchaser shall comply with all Applicable Law which might in any way relate to the Purchaser Investigations.

Purchaser shall indemnify, hold harmless and defend Seller, and its members, officers, managers, employees and shareholders (collectively, the “Seller Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all Claims actually incurred by Seller or any other indemnified party and caused by and arising out of (i) any Purchaser Investigation (i.e., without regard to the phrase “nondestructive” included in the definition of Purchaser Investigation) conducted by or at the behest of Purchaser and/or any Purchaser’s Representative, or (ii) any breach by Purchaser and/or any Purchaser’s Representative of the terms of this Section 7.1. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser shall have no liability for (and no obligation to indemnify, defend and/or hold any of the Seller Indemnified Parties harmless from) Claims arising from (a) pre-existing conditions merely discovered by Purchaser Investigations and not exacerbated by Purchaser or Purchaser’s Representatives (and in any event, only to the extent of such exacerbation), (b) the gross negligence or intentional wrongdoing of Seller, the Seller Indemnified Parties, or any Property’s tenants, occupants and invitees (other than Purchaser and Purchaser’s Representatives), or (c) any consequential, punitive, special or other similar damages. For the avoidance of doubt, Purchaser acknowledges that this Section 7.1(c) also applies to Claims arising during the portion of the Due Diligence Period that preceded the Effective Date of this Agreement. This Section 7.1(c) shall survive Closing or any termination of this Agreement.

(d) WAIVER AND RELEASE. PURCHASER, FOR ITSELF AND ALL OF PURCHASER’S REPRESENTATIVES, HEREBY WAIVES AND RELEASES EACH OF SELLER AND ITS MEMBERS, OFFICERS, MANAGERS, EMPLOYEES AND SHAREHOLDERS FROM ALL CLAIMS RESULTING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY FROM ACCESS TO, ENTRANCE UPON, OR INSPECTION OF THE PROPERTY BY PURCHASER OR ANY OF PURCHASER’S REPRESENTATIVES FROM AND AFTER THE COMMENCEMENT OF THE DUE DILIGENCE PERIOD, UNLESS ARISING FROM THE WRONGFUL MISCONDUCT OR GROSS NEGLIGENCE OF SELLER. THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION 7.1(D) SHALL SURVIVE CLOSING OR ANY TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT. FOR THE AVOIDANCE OF DOUBT, PURCHASER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THIS SECTION 7.1(D) ALSO APPLIES TO ALL CLAIMS ARISING DURING THE PORTION OF THE DUE DILIGENCE PERIOD THAT PRECEDED THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF THIS AGREEMENT.

SECTION 7.2 Seller’s Deliveries.

(a) To the extent that it has not already done so under the Access Agreement, Seller will make available to Purchaser and Purchaser’s Representatives for their review, in an online data room and/or at the Property, items and information pertaining to the Property set forth on Schedule B attached hereto (collectively referred to as the “Seller’s Deliveries”). Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, the Seller’s Deliveries are made available to Purchaser without representation or warranty by, or recourse against, Seller, it being agreed that Purchaser shall not rely on such documents and shall independently verify the truth, accuracy and completeness of said information and/or items contained therein.

(b) If this Agreement is terminated prior to Closing, within seven (7) days from the date of Seller’s request, Purchaser shall return or cause to be returned to Seller or destroy or cause to be destroyed all of the Seller’s Deliveries (and provide written confirmation of such destruction to Seller).

SECTION 7.3 Purchaser’s Termination Right.

(a) On or before the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, Purchaser shall deliver written notice (the “Diligence Notice”) to Seller stating either (i) that Purchaser elects to terminate this Agreement, in which event the Escrow Agent shall return the Xxxxxxx Money to Purchaser without the consent of Seller or any other Person and no party shall have any further rights or obligations under this Agreement (except for provisions hereof that are expressly stated to survive a termination of this Agreement), or (ii) that Purchaser elects not to terminate this Agreement, in which event (A) Purchaser shall thereupon be deemed to have waived any right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to the provisions of this Section 7.3(a) and this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with its terms and (B) the Xxxxxxx Money shall thereupon become nonrefundable, except as expressly specified in this Agreement. Purchaser’s failure to timely deliver the Diligence Notice to Seller shall be deemed to constitute Purchaser’s election not to terminate this Agreement (i.e. to elect clause (ii) above). For the avoidance of doubt, Purchaser’s right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to clause (i) above shall be made at the sole discretion of Purchaser and can be made for any reason or no reason.

(b) Purchaser hereby agrees that in the event Purchaser delivers (or is deemed to have delivered) a Diligence Notice electing not to terminate this Agreement, the same shall constitute Purchaser’s acknowledgment that Purchaser has had adequate opportunity to consider, inspect and review to its satisfaction the physical, environmental, economic and legal condition of the Property and all files and information in Seller’s possession that Purchaser deems material to the purchase of the Property.

SECTION 7.4 Seller’s Disclaimer. Purchaser acknowledges the following:

(e) NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE INTERPRETED AS WAIVING ANY CLAIM OF PURCHASER WITH RESPECT TO (A) ANY BREACH BY SELLER OF ANY EXPRESS REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES OR COVENANTS MADE BY SELLER IN THIS AGREEMENT OR THE CLOSING DOCUMENTS, OR (B) ANY THIRD PARTY (INCLUDING GOVERNMENTAL) CLAIM, DEMAND, OR ACTION AGAINST PURCHASER REGARDING THE PROPERTY THAT RESULTS FROM THE ACTS OR OMISSIONS OF A RELEASED PARTY OR OTHER EVENTS OCCURRING DURING SELLER’S PERIOD OF OWNERSHIP OF THE PROPERTY. FURTHER, NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING IN IN THIS AGREEMENT TO THE CONTRARY: (I) PURCHASER SHALL HAVE THE RIGHT TO DEFEND GOVERNMENT AND THIRD-PARTY CLAIMS BY ALLEGING THAT SELLER, A RELEASED PARTY OR SOMEONE ACTING ON SELLER’S BEHALF, NOT PURCHASER, IS LIABLE FOR SUCH CLAIMS AND PURCHASER HAS NO OBLIGATION TO INDEMNIFY A RELEASED PARTY FOR GOVERNMENTAL OR THIRD PARTY CLAIMS ASSERTED BEFORE OR AFTER THE CLOSING AS A RESULT OF ANY ACT OR OMISSION TAKEN OR FAILED TO BE TAKEN BY OR ON A RELEASED PARTY’S BEHALF PRIOR TO THE CLOSING; AND (II) THE ACKNOWLEDGMENTS, WAIVERS AND RELEASES SET FORTH BY PURCHASER IN THIS AGREEMENT SHALL NOT APPLY TO THIRD-PARTY TORT CLAIMS RELATING TO THE PROPERTY AND OCCURRING DURING SELLER’S OWNERSHIP OF THE PROPERTY. ADDITIONALLY, SELLER AND PURCHASER HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT THE WAIVERS AND RELEASES SET FORTH BY PURCHASER IN THIS AGREEMENT ARE NOT INTENDED TO BE AND SHALL NOT BE CONSTRUED AS A WAIVER OF SIMILAR CLAIMS AGAINST ANY OF SELLER’S PREDECESSORS-IN-TITLE WITH RESPECT TO THE PROPERTY (“PREDECESSORS”), OR ANY SUCH PREDECESSOR’S OFFICERS, MEMBERS, MANAGERS, DIRECTORS, PARTNERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS OR CONTRACTORS, OR ANY OTHER PERSON ACTING ON BEHALF OF ANY SUCH PREDECESSORS.

(f) ADDITIONALLY, NOTWITHSTANDING ANY PROVISION HEREOF TO THE CONTRARY, THE ACKNOWLEDGMENTS, WAIVERS AND RELEASES SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT BY PURCHASER AND THE SURVIVAL PERIOD (AS SET FORTH IN SECTION 11.4 OF THIS AGREEMENT) SHALL NOT APPLY TO ANY CLAIM WITH RESPECT TO ANY FRAUDULENT MISREPRESENTATION BY SELLER; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, IN THE EVENT THAT PURCHASER BRINGS AN ACTION AGAINST SELLER ALLEGING FRAUD AND PURCHASER THEREAFTER FAILS TO OBTAIN A FINAL, UNAPPEALABLE JUDGMENT AGAINST SELLER ON THE BASIS OF FRAUD, THEN PURCHASER SHALL PROMPTLY PAY TO SELLER AS LIQUIDATED DAMAGES, AND NOT AS A PENALTY, THE AMOUNT OF TWO MILLION FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS ($2,500,000.00). PURCHASER AND SELLER AGREE THAT SELLER’S DAMAGES RESULTING FROM AN ALLEGATION OF FRAUD ARE DIFFICULT, IF NOT IMPOSSIBLE, TO DETERMINE, AND THAT THE AMOUNT SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION 7.6(f) IS A FAIR ESTIMATE OF THOSE DAMAGES WHICH HAS BEEN AGREED TO IN AN EFFORT TO CAUSE THE AMOUNT OF SUCH DAMAGES TO BE CERTAIN.

SECTION 7.7 Effect of Purchaser Waiver of Lead-Based Paint Inspections. Purchaser acknowledges that it has had or will have the opportunity to undertake studies, inspections or investigations of the Real Property as Purchaser deemed or deems necessary to evaluate the presence of lead-based paint and/or lead-based paint hazards on the Real Property. To the extent that Purchaser has waived or otherwise declined the opportunity to undertake such inspections and investigations as a condition to the completion of the transaction under the terms of the Agreement, Purchaser has knowingly and voluntarily done so. Purchaser understands and acknowledges that certain of the Improvements or portions thereof may have been built prior to 1978, and that lead-based paint and/or lead-based paint hazards may be present on the Real Property. Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement or the Closing Documents, Seller shall have no responsibility or liability with respect to any such presence of lead-based paint at the Property.

Article 8
TITLE AND PERMITTED EXCEPTIONS

SECTION 8.1 Title Insurance and Survey.

(a) Title Commitment. Seller has delivered to Purchaser a title commitment for an ALTA Owner’s Title Insurance Policy (the “Title Commitment”) issued by the Title Company covering the Real Property providing for the issuance at the Closing to Purchaser of the Owner’s Policy. Upon issuance, the Owner’s Policy will except from coverage only those exceptions which become Permitted Exceptions pursuant TO this Agreement. Except as permitted under this Agreement, no additional encumbrances may be created on the Property by Seller from and after the date of the Title Commitment without the prior written consent of Purchaser.

(b) Updated Survey. Seller has provided a copy of Seller’s most recent survey of the Real Property to Purchaser as part of Seller’s Deliveries. Seller has also delivered to Purchaser a new ALTA/NSPS survey for the Real Property (the “Updated Survey”). If the legal description for the Land on the Updated Survey differs from the legal description attached to this Agreement for the Land, upon Purchaser’s request, Seller shall execute and deliver to Purchaser at Closing a quitclaim deed, without representation or warranty, that uses the legal description set forth on the Updated Survey.

(c) Title Objection Notice. Purchaser notified Seller in writing (the “Title Objection Notice”) on May 31, 2019 (the expiration date of Purchaser’s “Title Review Period”) as to which matters within the Title Commitment and which survey matters disclosed on the Updated Survey are not acceptable to Purchaser (individually, a “Disapproved Title Matter”). Any matter within the Title Commitment and the Updated Survey that Purchaser failed to so disapprove in the Title Objection Notice shall be conclusively deemed to have been approved by Purchaser and shall constitute a “Permitted Exception.” Seller notified Purchaser in writing on June 7, 2019, as supplemented by written notice to Purchaser on June 14, 2019 (collectively, the “Title Response Notice”) regarding whether Seller either (i) agreed to remove each such Disapproved Title Matter from title to the Real Property on or before the Closing, or (ii) declined to remove such Disapproved Title Matter from title to the Real Property. If Seller failed to timely deliver a Title Response Notice as to a particular Disapproved Title Matter, then Seller shall be deemed to have made the election in clause (ii) above as to such Disapproved Title Matter.

(d) Regarding the Disapproved Title Matters in Purchaser’s Title Objection Notice as to which Seller has elected (or is deemed to have elected) not to remove such matters from title (i.e. Seller has made the election in clause (c)(ii) above), Purchaser acknowledges that it has elected to accept the condition of title to the Real Property subject to such Disapproved Title Matters, and that such uncured Disapproved Title Matters shall hereafter constitute “Permitted Exceptions.”

(e) Required Cure Items Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Seller shall be obligated, at Closing, to cause Title Company to remove (i) deeds of trust, mortgages, security deeds or other security liens encumbering the Property; (ii) judgment liens encumbering the Property; (iii) mechanic’s or materialmen’s liens encumbering the Property; (iv) any instrument or other matter of record evidencing a lien or monetary encumbrance against the Property, or that may be discharged or satisfied through the payment of money; (v) matters created or appearing of record after the date of the Title Commitments and caused by the act or omission of Seller without the prior written consent of Purchaser; and (vi) any outstanding water bills, sewer bills, gas bills, electric bills or other utility bills due and owing (items i, ii, iii, iv, v and vi above are collectively referred to as the “Required Cure Items”). Seller shall be entitled to cure any Required Cure Items by compliance with a statutory bonding procedure that has the legal effect of removing the Required Cure Item as a lien on the Real Property, provided that such bonding procedure also causes the subject item to be removed as an exception in the Owner’s Policy. If Seller agrees in writing to cure a Disapproved Title Matter prior to Closing but thereafter subsequently fails to do so, Seller shall be in material default hereunder and Purchaser shall be permitted to pursue the remedies provided in Section 13.2 hereof, subject to any notice and cure provisions relating thereto.

(f) Written approval by Purchaser of any additional materially adverse title exceptions, defects, encumbrances or other title matters not shown on the Title Commitment or Updated Survey disclosed in writing to Purchaser after the expiration of the Title Review Period or new exceptions, defects, encumbrances or other title matters not shown on the Title Commitment solely due to an error by the Title Company in omitting the same and for which Purchaser had no prior knowledge (collectively, “Additional Title Matters”) shall be a condition precedent to Purchaser’s obligations to purchase the Property. Unless Purchaser gives written notice (an “Additional Title Disapproval Notice”) that it disapproves any Additional Title Matters, stating the Additional Title Matters so disapproved (the “Additional Title Disapproval Matters”), before the sooner to occur of the Closing or five (5) Business Days after receipt of written notice of such Additional Title Matters, Purchaser shall be deemed to have approved such Additional Title Matters and any such Additional Title Matters shall thereafter constitute “Permitted Exceptions.” The Seller shall have until three (3) Business Days after receipt of any Additional Title Disapproval Notice (the “Additional Title Response Period”) to notify Purchaser in writing (an “Additional Title Disapproval Response”) of the Additional Title Disapproval Matters, if any, which Seller will cure prior to Closing. Seller’s failure to timely provide such Additional Title Disapproval Response shall be deemed to constitute Seller’s election not to cure any Additional Title Disapproval Matters. If Seller does not agree to cure all Additional Disapproved Matters, then Purchaser may, at its option, terminate this Agreement upon written notice to the Seller, but only if given prior to the sooner to occur of Closing or five (5) Business Days after Purchaser receives the Additional Title Disapproval Response, or if Seller does not provide the Additional Title Disapproval Response, five (5) Business Days after the end of the Additional Title Response Period, in which case this Agreement shall immediately terminate, Purchaser shall be entitled to a return of the Xxxxxxx Money, and Seller and Purchaser shall have no further rights or obligations hereunder, except for the provisions hereof that expressly survive termination of this Agreement. If Purchaser fails to give such termination notice by such date, Purchaser shall be deemed to have waived its objection to, and to have approved, the matters set forth in Seller’s notice, and any such uncured Additional Title Disapproval Matters shall become “Permitted Exceptions.” Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any such matter not set forth on the original Title Commitment or original Updated Survey, as applicable, constitutes a breach of Seller’s obligations under this Agreement, then Seller shall be in default under this Agreement, and Purchaser shall be permitted to pursue the remedies provided in Section 13.2 hereof, subject to any notice and cure provisions relating thereto.

SECTION 8.2 Intentionally Deleted.

SECTION 8.3 Certain Exceptions to Title; Inability to Convey.

(a) Seller’s interest in the Real Property shall be conveyed by Seller, and Purchaser agrees to acquire Seller’s interest in the Real Property, subject only to the Permitted Exceptions. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Seller shall be obligated at or prior to the Closing to cause the release or discharge, at Seller’s sole cost and expense, of any Required Cure Items. The parties acknowledge and agree that Seller shall have the right to apply or cause the Escrow Agent to apply all or any portion of the Purchase Price to cause the release or discharge of any Required Cure Items when escrow is broken at Closing.

(b) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if Seller notifies Purchaser in writing that it will cure a title objection of the Purchaser but subsequently fails to cure such objection at or prior to Closing, Seller shall be in default under this Agreement and all remedies set forth in Section 13.2 shall be available to Purchaser.

(c) Except as expressly set forth in Section 8.1 or in Section 8.3(a), nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to require Seller to take or bring any action or proceeding or any other steps to remove any title exception or to expend any moneys therefor, and except in connection with a Seller default under this Agreement, Purchaser shall not have any right of action against Seller, at law or in equity, for Seller’s inability to convey its interest in the Real Property subject only to the Permitted Exceptions.

SECTION 8.4 Purchaser’s Right to Accept Title.

(a) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Article 8, Purchaser may, by written notice given to Seller at any time prior to the earlier of (x) the Closing Date and (y) the termination of this Agreement, elect to accept such title as Seller can convey, notwithstanding the existence of any title or survey exceptions that are not Permitted Exceptions and which Seller is not required to remove or cure pursuant to this Agreement. In such event, this Agreement shall remain in effect and the parties shall proceed to Closing, but Purchaser shall not be entitled to any abatement of the Purchase Price, any credit or allowance of any kind or any claim or right of action against Seller for damages or otherwise by reason of the existence of any title exceptions which are not Permitted Exceptions and which Seller is not required to remove or cure pursuant to this Agreement.

(b) Purchaser shall be entitled to request that the Title Company provide such endorsements (or amendments) to the Owner’s Policy as Purchaser may reasonably require, provided that (i) such endorsements (or amendments), other than any curative endorsements that Seller may elect to obtain pursuant to Section 8.1 or Section 8.3(a), shall be at no cost to, and shall impose no additional liability on, Seller, (ii) Purchaser’s obligations under this Agreement shall not be conditioned upon Purchaser’s ability to obtain such endorsements (other than any curative endorsements that Seller may elect to obtain pursuant to Section 8.1 or Section 8.3(a)), and, if Purchaser is unable to obtain such endorsements, Purchaser shall nevertheless be obligated to proceed to close the transactions contemplated by this Agreement without reduction of or setoff against the Purchase Price, and (iii) the Closing shall not be delayed as a result of Purchaser’s request hereunder.

Article 9
TRANSACTION COSTS; RISK OF LOSS

SECTION 9.1 Transaction Costs.

(a) Purchaser and Seller agree to comply with all real estate transfer tax laws applicable to the sale of the Property.

(b) At Closing, Seller shall pay or cause to be paid the following: (i) any title search and exam fees and the base Owner’s Policy premium (Purchaser specifically agreeing and acknowledging that Seller shall also be entitled to any rebate or discount associated with such title premium); (ii) any costs in connection with discharging any encumbrances that Seller specifically agrees to or is obligated to pay, discharge, remove or cure pursuant to the terms of this Agreement; (iii) any state or local transfer tax, excise tax or documentary stamps payable on the conveyance of the Property to Purchaser; (iv) Broker’s commissions; and (v) one-half (1/2) of all escrow or closing charges of the Escrow Agent.

(c) At Closing, Purchaser shall pay or cause to be paid the following: (i) except to the extent that any such costs are to be paid by Seller under Section 9.1(b) hereof, all other costs for the Owner’s Policy and any lender’s title policy or policies on the Property, including premiums for any extended coverage, endorsements, update charges and other title charges; (ii) Purchaser’s cost to obtain the Updated Survey, (iii) all other fees, costs or expenses in connection with Purchaser’s due diligence reviews and analyses hereunder; (iv) document recording fees for the Deed, the Condominium Conversion Prohibition Agreement, and any other recordable conveyance documents for the Property; (v) all costs associated with Purchaser’s acquisition financing, if any, including any state or local documentary stamps, intangibles tax or mortgage tax and recording fees for any recordable loan documents; and (vi) one-half (1/2) of all escrow or closing charges of the Escrow Agent (not to exceed $750.00). Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, each party shall pay the fees of its own attorneys, accountants and other professionals.

(d) Each of Purchaser, on the one hand, and Seller, on the other hand, shall indemnify the other and their respective successors and assigns from and against any and all loss, damage, cost, charge, liability or expense (including court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees actually incurred) which such other party may sustain or incur as a result of the failure of either such party to timely pay any of the aforementioned fees or other charges for which it has assumed responsibility under this Section 9.1. The provisions of this Section 9.1 shall survive the Closing or the termination of this Agreement.

SECTION 9.2 Risk of Loss.

(a) Prior to the Closing, the risk of loss shall remain with Seller. If, on or before the Closing Date, the Real Property or any portion thereof shall be (i) damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty or (ii) taken or threatened in writing to be taken as a result of any condemnation or eminent domain proceeding, Seller shall promptly notify Purchaser and, at Closing, Seller will credit against the Purchase Price payable by Purchaser an amount equal to the net proceeds (other than on account of business or rental interruption relating to the period prior to Closing), if any, received by Seller as a result of such casualty or condemnation, together with a credit for any deductible under such insurance, less any amounts spent by Seller to remedy unsafe conditions at the Real Property prior to Closing. If as of the Closing Date, Seller has not received any such insurance or condemnation proceeds, then the parties shall nevertheless consummate the conveyance of the Property on such date (without any credit for such insurance or condemnation proceeds except for a credit for any deductible under such insurance, less any amounts spent by Seller to remedy unsafe conditions at the Real Property prior to Closing), and at Closing Seller will assign to Purchaser all rights of Seller, if any, to the insurance or condemnation proceeds (other than on account of business or rental interruption relating to the period prior to Closing) and to all other rights or claims arising out of or in connection with such casualty or condemnation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, after the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, Seller shall not settle any insurance claim in connection with damage or destruction to the Real Property or any portion thereof by fire or other casualty or settle any condemnation or eminent domain action brought against the Real Property or any portion thereof without Purchaser’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided, however, that in the event of a Material Casualty or Material Condemnation, Purchaser’s consent will only be required after Purchaser’s waiver of its right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.2 (and provided further that Purchaser shall not be required to waive its termination right until a casualty is determined to be a Material Casualty and a condemnation is determined to be a Material Condemnation).

(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 9.2(a), if, on or before the Closing Date, the Real Property or any portion thereof shall be (i) damaged or destroyed by a Material Casualty or (ii) taken or threatened in writing to be taken as a result of a Material Condemnation, Purchaser shall have the right, exercised by written notice to Seller no more than five (5) Business Days after Purchaser has received written notice of such Material Casualty or Material Condemnation from Seller, to terminate this Agreement, in which event the Xxxxxxx Money shall be refunded to Purchaser and no party shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder other than those which expressly survive the termination of this Agreement. If Purchaser fails to timely terminate this Agreement in accordance with this Section 9.2(b), the provisions of Section 9.2(a) shall apply.

(c) A “Material Casualty” shall mean any damage to the Real Property or any portion thereof occurring at any time on or after the Effective Date by fire or other casualty that is expected to cost in excess of one and one half percent (1.5%) of the Purchase Price to repair (as determined by the independent insurance adjuster designated by Seller’s insurance company).

(d) A “Material Condemnation” shall mean any condemnation or conveyance in lieu of condemnation for the Real Property which: (i) permanently and materially impairs the current use or value of the Real Property; (ii) permanently and materially impairs access to the Real Property from public roads; (iii) reduces the number or utility of parking spaces; or (iv) prohibits, as a matter of applicable law, the rebuilding or repair of any Improvements as they currently exist.

(e) Seller and Purchaser hereby agree that the Uniform Vendor and Purchaser Risk Act, Section 5.007 of the Texas Property Code, shall not be applicable to this Agreement or the transaction contemplated hereby.

Article 10
ADJUSTMENTS

Unless otherwise provided below, the following are to be adjusted and prorated between Seller and Purchaser as of 11:59 pm Eastern Time on the day preceding the Closing the “Adjustment Point”), based upon a 365-day year, with Purchaser being deemed to be the owner of the Property during the entire day of the Closing Date and being entitled to receive all operating income of the Property, and being obligated to pay all operating expenses of the Property, with respect to the Closing Date, and the net amount thereof under this Article 10 shall be added to (if such net amount is in Seller’s favor) or deducted from (if such net amount is in Purchaser’s favor) the Purchase Price payable at Closing. Escrow Agent shall prepare the Closing Statement of the prorations and adjustments required by this Agreement and shall submit the same to Purchaser and Seller for review and approval at least three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date.

SECTION 10.1 Rents.

(a) All Rents (as hereinafter defined) paid by tenants under the Leases in connection with their occupancy of the Real Property shall be adjusted and prorated as of the Adjustment Point. Delinquent Rents shall not be prorated. Seller shall be entitled to all Rents under Leases attributable to the period prior to the Adjustment Point, and Purchaser shall be entitled to all Rents under Leases attributable to the period from and after the Adjustment Point. All prepaid Rents for periods of occupancy after the Adjustment Point shall be credited to Purchaser at Closing. Any Rents collected by Purchaser or Seller after Closing from any tenant who owes Rents for periods prior to Closing shall be applied (i) first, in payment of current Rents at the time of receipt, (ii) second, to delinquent Rents, if any, which became due after the Closing, and (iii) third, to delinquent Rents, if any, which became due and payable prior to the Closing or otherwise attributable to the period prior to Closing. “Rents” for purposes of this Agreement shall mean (whether paid in advance of the date when such payment is due or otherwise) all fixed rents and other charges or amounts payable by tenants under the Leases or in connection with their use or occupancy of the Real Property or any service or amenity relating thereto, including water, electricity, gas, sewage or other utilities charges or other pass-through fees and charges.

(b) For a period of one hundred twenty (120) days following Closing, Purchaser shall xxxx tenants who owe Rents for periods prior to the Closing and use commercially reasonable efforts to pursue collection of such past due Rents to the full extent that Purchaser would endeavor to collect delinquent Rents owed to Purchaser, but shall not be obligated to engage a collection agency or take legal action or other enforcement action under the applicable Lease to collect such amount. Purchaser shall pay to Seller, no later than seven (7) days after collection, any collected amount that is owed to Seller, it being understood that any Rent and other sums collected by Purchaser under any Lease subsequent to the Closing shall first be applied to Rent and income obligations owing to Purchaser for its period of ownership. For a period of one hundred twenty (120) days following Closing, Purchaser may not waive any delinquent (or unpaid) Rents or modify a Lease so as to reduce or otherwise affect amounts owed thereunder for any period in which Seller is entitled to receive a share of charges or amounts without first obtaining Seller’s written consent. From and after Closing, Seller shall take no action with regards to obtaining delinquent Rent or other sums from existing tenants at the Property. With respect to delinquent or other uncollected Rents and any other amounts or other rights of any kind respecting tenants who are no longer tenants of the Property as of the Closing Date, Seller shall retain all of the rights relating thereto. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Seller acknowledges and agrees that Purchaser is under no obligation to collect delinquent Rents on Seller’s behalf.

SECTION 10.2 Taxes and Assessments. All non-delinquent real estate, ad valorem real property and personal property taxes and assessments with respect to the Property for the tax year in which Closing occurs shall be prorated between Seller and Purchaser as of the Adjustment Point (on the basis of the most recent available tax xxxx if the current xxxx is not then available and on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over the applicable tax year). Seller shall be responsible for the payment of any such real estate and personal property taxes for years prior to the local tax year in which Closing occurs. In no event shall Seller be charged with or be responsible for any increase in the taxes on the Property resulting from (a) any change in use of the Property on or after the Closing Date, or (b) any improvements made or leases entered into on or after the Closing Date. If any taxes or assessments on the Property are payable in installments, then the installment allocable to the current period shall be prorated (with Purchaser being allocated the obligation to pay any installments due on or after the Closing Date).

SECTION 10.3 Intentionally Deleted.

SECTION 10.4 Utility Charges.

(a) Water, sewer, gas, steam, electricity and other public utility charges will be paid by Seller to the utility company on or prior to the Closing Date. Seller shall arrange for a final reading of all utility meters (covering gas, water, steam and electricity) as of the Closing. To the extent necessary, Seller and Purchaser shall execute a letter to each such utility company advising it of the termination of Seller’s responsibility for utilities furnished to the Real Property as of the Closing Date and commencement of Purchaser’s responsibilities therefor from and after such date. If a xxxx is obtained from any such utility company as of Closing, Seller shall pay such xxxx on or before the Closing Date. Any utilities not read or billed as of the Closing Date will be prorated as of the Adjustment Point based on estimates at Closing, and adjusted after Closing once the final amounts are known. Additionally, Seller shall receive credits at Closing for the amount of any utility deposits with respect to the Real Property paid by Seller, to the extent Purchaser receives a credit from the applicable utility company on account of such deposit.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Seller pays any utility bills and, directly or through a billing service, bills the tenants for such utilities, then at Closing, Seller shall receive a credit for the estimated amount of utility charges incurred by Seller and reimbursable to Seller from tenants under the Leases for periods prior to Closing (“RUBS”). The credit shall be for sixty (60) days of RUBS calculated based on the average RUBS payable by the tenants for the twelve (12) month period preceding the Closing Date. Such credit shall be final and shall not be subject to reproration pursuant to Section 10.10.

SECTION 10.5 Miscellaneous Revenues. Periodic revenues, if any, arising out of telephone booths, vending machines, laundry machines or other income-producing agreements shall be adjusted and prorated between Purchaser and Seller as of the Adjustment Point (provided that one-time inducement fees, “door fees” or similar non-recurring payments under Assumed Contracts shall not be prorated as of the Closing Date).

SECTION 10.6 Assumed Contracts. Amounts due under the Assumed Contracts shall be adjusted and prorated between Purchaser, on the one hand, and Seller, on the other hand, as of the Adjustment Point, with Purchaser to receive a credit at Closing for any amounts unpaid and attributable for the period prior to the Closing and Seller to receive a credit at Closing for any amounts previously paid and attributable to the period on and following the Closing.

SECTION 10.7 Association Fees. If applicable, all owners’ association fees or similar fees and assessments due and payable with respect to the Real Property with respect to the applicable association’s fiscal year in which the Closing occurs shall be adjusted and prorated based on the periods of ownership by Seller and Purchaser during each such association’s fiscal year.

SECTION 10.8 Security Deposits. The actual amounts of the Refundable Security Deposits held by Seller as landlord under the Leases shall be credited to Purchaser against the balance of the Purchase Price at Closing. Any such Refundable Security Deposits in forms other than cash (including letters of credit) shall be transferred to Purchaser on the Closing Date by way of appropriate instruments of transfer or assignment.

SECTION 10.9 Other Adjustments. If applicable, the Purchase Price shall be adjusted at Closing to reflect the adjustment of any other item which, under the explicit terms of this Agreement, is to be apportioned at Closing. Any other items of operating income or operating expense that are customarily apportioned between the parties in real estate closings of comparable commercial properties in the metropolitan area where the Property is located shall be prorated as applicable; however, there will be no prorations for debt service, insurance premiums or payroll, because Purchaser is not acquiring or assuming Seller’s financing, insurance or employees.

SECTION 10.10 Re-Adjustment. In the event any prorations or apportionments made under this Article 10 shall prove to be incorrect for any reason, then any party shall be entitled to an adjustment to correct the same. Any item that cannot be finally prorated because of the unavailability of information shall be tentatively prorated on the basis of the best data then available and reprorated when the information is available. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, all re-prorations contemplated by this Agreement shall be completed within three (3) months after the Closing Date (subject to extension solely as necessary due to the unavailability of final information but in no event to exceed four (4) months after the Closing Date); provided, however, the final date with respect to real estate, ad valorem real property and property taxes and assessments shall be thirty (30) days after the issuance of final bills or other final resolutions of any contest relating thereto. The obligations of Seller and Purchaser under this Article 10 shall survive Closing for the time periods set forth in this Section 10.10.

Article 11
INDEMNIFICATION

SECTION 11.1 Indemnification by Seller. Following Closing and subject to Sections 11.3, 11.4 and 11.5, Seller shall indemnify and hold Purchaser and each of its respective Affiliates, members, partners, shareholders, officers and directors (collectively, the “Purchaser-Related Entities”) harmless from and against any and all costs, fees, expenses, damages, deficiencies, interest and penalties (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements actually incurred) suffered or incurred by Purchaser in connection with any and all losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses (“Losses”), arising out of, or resulting from, (a) any breach of any representation or warranty of Seller contained in Section 3.1 of this Agreement or in any Closing Document executed by Seller (collectively, the “Seller Representations”), and (b) any breach of any covenant of Seller contained in this Agreement or in any Closing Document that expressly survives the Closing (collectively, the “Surviving Covenants”).

SECTION 11.2 Indemnification by Purchaser. From and after the Closing and subject to Sections 11.4, 11.5 and 11.7, Purchaser shall indemnify and hold Seller and each of its Affiliates, members, partners, shareholders, officers and directors (collectively, the “Seller-Related Entities”) harmless from any and all Losses arising out of, or in any way resulting from, (a) any breach of any representation or warranty by Purchaser contained in Section 4.1 of this Agreement or in any Closing Document executed by Purchaser, and (b) any breach of any covenant of Purchaser contained in this Agreement or in any Closing Document that expressly survives the Closing.

SECTION 11.3 Limitations on Indemnification by Seller. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of Section 11.1, (a) Seller shall not be required to indemnify Purchaser unless the amount for which an indemnity would otherwise be payable by Seller under Section 11.1 exceeds the Basket Limitation and, in such event, Seller shall be responsible for all such amounts from the first dollar of loss up to the Cap Limitation (provided that Seller’s obligations under Article 10 with respect to prorations and adjustments and Seller’s obligations under Section 14.2 with respect to brokers shall not be subject to the Basket Limitation or the Cap Limitation), (b) in no event shall the liability of Seller with respect to the indemnification provided for in Section 11.1 exceed the Cap Limitation (provided that Seller’s obligations under Article 10 with respect to prorations and adjustments and Seller’s obligations under Section 14.2 with respect to brokers shall not be subject to the Basket Limitation or the Cap Limitation), and (c) in the event Purchaser has actual knowledge or any Deemed Purchaser Knowledge of any inaccuracy or breach of any representation, warranty, or covenant of Seller contained in this Agreement (a “Purchaser Waived Breach”) after the Effective Date but prior to Closing, and nonetheless proceeds with and consummates Closing, then Purchaser shall be deemed to have waived and forever renounced any right to assert a claim for indemnification under this Article 11 for, or any other claim or cause of action under this Agreement, whether at law or in equity, on account of any such Purchaser Waived Breach. In no event shall Purchaser be entitled to seek or obtain consequential, speculative, special, punitive or exemplary damages against Seller.

SECTION 11.4 Survival. Seller Representations and Surviving Covenants shall survive for a period of one hundred eighty (180) days after the Closing Date (the “Survival Period”), unless a longer or shorter survival period is expressly provided for in this Agreement. Seller and Purchaser shall each have the right to bring an action or proceeding against the other for the breach of any such Seller Representations and Surviving Covenants, but only if the party bringing the action for breach (i) first learns of the breach after Closing, (ii) gives written notice of such breach to the other party within the Survival Period (unless a longer or shorter survival period is expressly provided for in this Agreement), and (iii) files such action for such breach no later than thirty (30) days after the written notice of the breach, unless a longer or shorter survival period is expressly provided for in this Agreement; provided, however, with respect to any actions brought by a party hereunder during the Survival Period but remaining unresolved as of the expiration of such period, the Survival Period shall extend solely as to such claims until the final adjudication (including appeals) or settlement of such claims.

SECTION 11.5 Notification. In the event that any indemnified party (“Indemnified Party”) becomes aware of any claim or demand for which an indemnifying party (an “Indemnifying Party”) may have liability to such Indemnified Party hereunder (an “Indemnification Claim”), such Indemnified Party shall promptly, but in no event more than thirty (30) days following such Indemnified Party’s having become actually aware of such Indemnification Claim, notify the Indemnifying Party in writing of such Indemnification Claim, the amount or the estimated amount of damages sought thereunder to the extent then ascertainable (which estimate shall not be conclusive of the final amount of such Indemnification Claim), any other remedy sought thereunder, any relevant time constraints relating thereto and, to the extent practicable, any other material details pertaining thereto; provided, that no delay on the part of the Indemnified Party in giving any such notice of a Indemnification Claim shall relieve the Indemnifying Party of any indemnification obligations hereunder except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is prejudiced by such delay.

SECTION 11.6 Indemnification as Sole Remedy. If Closing has occurred, the sole and exclusive remedy available to a party in the event of a breach by the other party to this Agreement of any representation, warranty, covenant or other provision of this Agreement or any Closing Document which expressly survives the Closing shall be the indemnifications provided for under this Article 11, except as it relates to re-proration obligations under Article 10 and the indemnification obligations under Section 7.1 and Section 14.2.

SECTION 11.7 Limits on Indemnification by Purchaser. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of Section 11.2, (a) Purchaser shall not be required to indemnify Seller or any Seller-Related Entities under Section 11.2 unless the amount for which an indemnity would otherwise be payable by Purchaser under Section 11.2 exceeds the Basket Limitation and, in such event, Purchaser shall be responsible for all such amounts, (b) in no event shall the liability of Purchaser with respect to the indemnification provided for in Section 11.2 exceed the Cap Limitation (provided that Purchaser’s obligations under Article 10 with respect to re-prorations and adjustments shall not be subject to the Basket Limitation or the Cap Limitation), and (c) in the event that Seller obtains Knowledge of any inaccuracy or breach of any representation, warranty, or covenant of Purchaser contained in this Agreement (a “Seller Waived Breach”) after the Effective Date but prior to the Closing, and Seller nonetheless proceeds with and consummates the Closing, then Seller and any Seller-Related Entities shall be deemed to have waived and forever renounced any right to assert a claim for indemnification under this Article 11 for, or any other claim or cause of action under this Agreement, whether at law or in equity on account of any such Seller Waived Breach. In no event shall Seller be entitled to seek or obtain consequential, speculative, special, punitive or exemplary damages against Purchaser.

Article 12
TAX APPEALS

SECTION 12.1 Prosecution and Settlement of Proceedings. If any tax reduction proceedings in respect of the Real Property, relating to any tax years ending prior to the tax year in which the Closing occurs are pending at the time of Closing, Seller reserves and shall have the right to continue to prosecute and/or settle the same. Prior to Closing, Seller reserves and shall have the right to initiate and continue any tax reduction proceedings in respect of any of the Real Property relating to the tax year in which Closing occurs; provided, however, that Seller shall not settle any such proceeding without Purchaser’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. From and after Closing, Purchaser shall have the right to initiate or assume tax reduction proceedings in respect of the Real Property relating to the tax year in which Closing occurs and shall have the right to continue to prosecute and/or settle the same. Seller and Purchaser shall, from time to time, each keep the other reasonably informed of the status of any such tax reduction proceedings.

SECTION 12.2 Application of Refunds or Savings. Any refunds or savings in the payment of taxes resulting from such tax reduction proceedings applicable to taxes payable with respect to the period prior to the Closing Date shall belong to and be the property of Seller and any refunds or savings in the payment of taxes applicable to taxes with respect to the period on or after the Closing Date shall belong to and be the property of Purchaser. All reasonable attorneys’ fees and other expenses incurred in obtaining such refunds or savings shall be apportioned between Seller, on the one hand, and Purchaser, on the other hand, in proportion to the gross amount of such refunds or savings payable to Seller and Purchaser, respectively; provided, however, that neither Seller nor Purchaser 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.

SECTION 12.3 Survival. The provisions of this Article 12 shall survive Closing until the final resolution of any such tax appeals, notwithstanding any earlier “true-up” deadline to the contrary.

Article 13
DEFAULT

SECTION 13.1 Purchaser’s Default. If Purchaser fails to consummate the purchase of the Property pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise defaults on its obligations hereunder at or prior to Closing for any reason except failure by Seller to perform hereunder, or if prior to Closing any one or more of Purchaser’s representations or warranties are breached in any material respect, and such default or breach is not cured by the earlier of the third (3rd) Business Day after written notice thereof from Seller or the Closing Date (provided that no notice or cure period shall apply if Purchaser fails to timely deposit any portion of the Xxxxxxx Money, or if Purchaser fails to timely consummate the purchase of the Property or the timely payment of the Purchase Price), Seller shall be entitled, as its sole remedy, to terminate this Agreement by giving Purchaser written notice of such election prior to or at Closing and recover the Xxxxxxx Money as liquidated damages and not as penalty, in full satisfaction of claims against Purchaser hereunder. Seller and Purchaser agree that Seller’s damages resulting from Purchaser’s default are difficult, if not impossible, to determine, and that the Xxxxxxx Money is a fair estimate of those damages which has been agreed to in an effort to cause the amount of such damages to be certain.

SECTION 13.2 Seller’s Default. If Seller fails to consummate the sale of the Property pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise defaults on its obligations hereunder at or prior to Closing for any reason except failure by Purchaser to perform hereunder, or if prior to Closing any one or more of Seller’s representations or warranties are breached in any material respect (i.e., in accordance with Section 3.2(g)), and such default or breach is not cured by the earlier of the fifth (5th) Business Day after written notice thereof from Purchaser or the Closing Date (provided that no notice or cure period shall apply if Seller fails to timely consummate the sale of the Property hereunder), Purchaser shall elect, as its sole remedy, either (i) to terminate this Agreement by giving Seller timely written notice of such election prior to or at Closing, and recover the Xxxxxxx Money and reimbursement of Purchaser’s actual out-of-pocket third-party expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement, up to a maximum reimbursement of $250,000.00, (ii) to enforce specific performance to consummate the sale of the Property hereunder; provided, however, that if Seller willfully conveys the Property to a third party or third parties, such that the remedy of specific performance is unavailable to Purchaser, Purchaser shall have the right to seek its actual damages against Seller in an amount not to exceed $1,200,000.00, or (iii) to waive said failure or breach and proceed to Closing without any reduction in the Purchase Price. In no event shall Seller be liable for consequential, speculative, remote or punitive damages, or any other damages except as specifically provided herein, and Purchaser hereby waives and releases any right to seek or collect any such consequential, speculative, remote or punitive damages, or any damages. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected option (i) above if Purchaser fails to deliver to Seller written notice of its intent to file a claim or assert a cause of action for specific performance or actual damages against Seller on or before the date that is ten (10) Business Days following the scheduled Closing Date or, having given such notice, fails to file a lawsuit asserting such claim or cause of action for specific performance or damages in the county in which the Xxxxxxx Money is deposited within forty five (45) days following the scheduled Closing Date.

SECTION 13.3 Certain Limitations. Notwithstanding Sections 13.1 and 13.2 hereof, in no event shall the provisions of Sections 13.1 and 13.2 limit (a) either Purchaser’s or Seller’s obligation to indemnify the other party, or the damages recoverable by an indemnified party against the indemnifying party due to, a party’s express obligation to indemnify another party in accordance with this Agreement, (b) Purchaser’s or Seller’s respective obligation to pay Closing costs under Section 9.1 hereof, or the damages recoverable by any party against another party due to a party’s failure to pay such costs, or (c) either Purchaser’s or Seller’s obligations to pay another party’s legal costs under Section 14.23 hereof.

SECTION 13.4 Cross Defaults under Affiliated Purchase Agreements.

(a) By Affiliated Sellers. Seller shall be in default under this Agreement immediately upon the default of any of the Affiliated Sellers under any of the Affiliated Purchase Agreements, and in such event, Purchaser may immediately exercise all rights and remedies set forth in Section 13.2 as to this Agreement.

(b) By Purchaser. Purchaser shall be in default under this Agreement immediately upon the default of Purchaser under any of the Affiliated Purchase Agreements, and in such event, Seller may immediately exercise all rights and remedies set forth in Section 13.1 as to this Agreement.

(a) Investment of Xxxxxxx Money.

(f) Execution by Escrow Agent. Escrow Agent has executed this Agreement solely for the purpose of acknowledging and agreeing to the provisions of this Section 14.4. Escrow Agent’s consent to any modification or amendment of this Agreement, other than to a modification or amendment of this Section 14.4, shall not be required.

(b) Intentionally Deleted.

(c) Assignments by Purchaser. This Agreement may not be assigned by Purchaser in whole or in part without the prior written consent of Seller. Any transfer of a majority of the direct or indirect interests in Purchaser shall be deemed to be an assignment of this Agreement by Purchaser.

SECTION 14.7 Further Assurances. From time to time, as and when requested by any party hereto, the other party shall execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, all such documents and instruments and shall take, or cause to be taken, all such further or other actions as such other party may reasonably deem necessary or desirable to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

SECTION 14.8 Notices. Any notice, request or other communication required or permitted to be given hereunder shall be in writing and, except as otherwise specifically provided herein, shall be delivered by hand or overnight courier (such as United Parcel Service or Federal Express), or by e-mail provided that a hard copy of such notice is also transmitted by one of the foregoing methods on the same Business Day. Any such notice shall be considered given on the date of such notice (provided that, with respect to e-mail notices, the e-mail is sent prior to 5:00 pm Eastern Time and a hard copy is also transmitted in compliance with this Section 14.8). Rejection or other refusal to accept or inability to deliver because of changed address of which no notice was given shall be deemed to be receipt of the notice.

Any notice may be given by a party’s counsel on such party’s behalf.

SECTION 14.27 Special Provisions Regarding Partial Termination.

(a) Purchaser’s Partial Termination Rights upon Special Casualty or Special Condemnation.

(i) As used in this Section 14.27(a):

(A) A “Special Casualty” shall mean any damage to the Real Property or any portion thereof by fire or other casualty that is expected to cost in excess of ten percent (10%) of the Purchase Price to repair (as determined by the independent insurance adjuster designated by Seller’s insurance company).

(B) A “Special Condemnation” shall mean any condemnation or conveyance in lieu of condemnation for the Real Property which meets the standards for a “Material Condemnation” under Section 9.2(d), and for which either (i) the cost of restoration is expected to exceed ten percent (10%) of the Purchase Price (as determined by a general contractor selected by Purchaser that is reasonably acceptable to Seller) or (ii) results in a diminution in value of the Property by more than ten percent (10%) of the Purchase Price (as determined by an MAI certified appraiser selected by Purchaser that is reasonably acceptable to Seller).

(C) A “Terminated Property” shall mean the Property, if the Property is affected by a Special Casualty or Special Condemnation, and if Purchaser therefore elects to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 14.27(a).

(D) The “Remaining Properties” shall mean the remainder of the Property Group, if Purchaser has a right to terminate, and does terminate, this Agreement pursuant to this Section 14.27(a).

(ii) In the event of a Special Casualty or Special Condemnation at the Property, Purchaser may elect to terminate this Agreement by written notice to Seller, whereupon the Property shall thereafter constitute a Terminated Property, the remainder of the Property Group shall constitute Remaining Properties, and Purchaser shall proceed to close on the Remaining Properties under the Affiliated Purchase Agreements pursuant to the terms of such agreements, in which event: (A) the Xxxxxxx Money under this Agreement shall, at Purchaser’s election, either be applied to the payment of the purchase price for the Remaining Properties or returned to Purchaser, and (C) both parties shall be relieved from all obligations and liabilities arising hereunder related to the Property, except for any provisions hereof that expressly survive the termination of this Agreement (and then only to the extent such provisions apply to the Property). For the avoidance of doubt, if Purchaser exercises its rights as contemplated in this Section 14.27(a)(ii), the Affiliated Purchase Agreements shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding anything herein or in the Affiliated Purchase Agreements to the contrary. If Purchaser elects to close over a Special Casualty or Special Condemnation, the terms of Section 9.2 shall apply.

(b) Purchaser’s Partial Termination Rights as to Affiliated Purchase Agreements.

(i) If Purchaser has a right to terminate, and does terminate, the Three Property Purchase Agreement pursuant to Section 14.27 thereof, then, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, such termination shall apply solely to the property terminated thereby, and in such event, this Agreement, the Three Property Purchase Agreement (as to the non-terminated properties) and the other Affiliated Purchase Agreements shall remain in full force and effect.

(ii) If Purchaser has a right to terminate, and does terminate, the Landings at Four Corners Purchase Agreement pursuant to Section 14.27 thereof, then, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, such termination shall apply solely to the Landings at Four Corners Purchase Agreement, and in such event, this Agreement and the remaining Affiliated Purchase Agreements shall remain in full force and effect.

(iii) If Purchaser has a right to terminate, and does terminate, the ARIUM Palms Purchase Agreement pursuant to Section 14.27 thereof, then, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, such termination shall apply solely to the ARIUM Palms Purchase Agreement, and in such event, this Agreement and the remaining Affiliated Purchase Agreements shall remain in full force and effect.

(c) In the event of a conflict between the terms of this Section 14.27 and any other provision of this Agreement, the terms of this Section 14.27 shall control.

Parent JOINDER

This joinder (this “Parent Joinder”) is attached to and made a part of the foregoing Agreement and all terms capitalized but not defined herein shall have the respective meanings given to them in the Agreement. The undersigned, BLUEROCK RESIDENTIAL GROWTH REIT, INC., a Maryland corporation (“Parent”), for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, hereby duly executes with proper authority, joins in the execution of this Agreement, and agrees that it is a party to the Agreement and is jointly and severally liable, as a principal and not as a surety, solely for Seller’s obligations under Section 10.10 and for any indemnity obligations of Seller arising under Section 11.1 hereof; provided, however, that any claim brought hereunder must be brought within one hundred eighty (180) days following the Closing Date, failing which, Purchaser shall be deemed to have waived and forever renounced any right to assert a claim pursuant to this Parent Joinder under Sections 10.10 and 11.1 for any claim or cause of action under the Agreement, whether at law or in equity. Purchaser shall have the right to proceed directly against Parent without first making written demand to Seller (and without any obligation to bring suit against Seller) for the satisfaction of any such obligations.

Parent represents and warrants that its Tangible Net Worth (as hereinafter defined) exceeds the Cap Limitation. Until the expiration of the Survival Period (or if Purchaser makes a claim against any Seller during the Survival Period, until the final adjudication (including appeals) or settlement of such claim), Parent shall at all times: (i) remain an entity in good standing and not legally dissolve; (ii) maintain a Tangible Net Worth, measured on a consolidated basis, in an amount not less than the Cap Limitation, and (iii) not sell, dispose or make distributions of assets of Parent that would cause a breach of the foregoing financial covenants. “Tangible Net Worth” means the excess of total assets over total liabilities, in each case as determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied (“GAAP”), excluding, however, from the determination of total assets all assets which would be classified as intangible assets under GAAP including goodwill, licenses, patents, trademarks, trade names, copyrights, and franchises.

Parent is an indirect owner of Seller, will derive substantial benefits from the transactions described in the Agreement and acknowledges that the execution of this Parent Joinder is a material inducement and condition to Purchaser’s execution of the Agreement. Parent represents and warrants that it has the legal right, power, authority and capacity to execute this Parent Joinder, that such execution does not violate the organizational documents of, or any other agreement or instrument by which Parent is bound, and that this Parent Joinder is binding and enforceable against Parent. Parent acknowledges and agrees that this Parent Joinder may not be assigned to any other Person without Purchaser’s prior written consent (which may be withheld in Purchaser’s sole discretion) and shall be binding upon Parent’s successors and assigns.

Parent unconditionally waives any guarantor or suretyship defenses that might otherwise be available to it with respect to its obligations under this Parent Joinder. The terms of this Joinder shall survive Closing until the expiration of the Survival Period (as the same may be extended pursuant to Section 11.4).

The provisions set forth in Section 14.1, Section 14.3, and Section 14.5 through Section 14.27, inclusive, of the Agreement are hereby incorporated by reference into this Parent Joinder as if fully set forth herein, provided that the undersigned shall be the “Seller” under such Sections.
