2.3 Payment of Purchase Price.
(a) Within two (2) Business Days of Opening of Escrow pursuant to Section 2.4,
Purchaser shall deposit in escrow with Escrow Agent (as defined in Section 2.4) as the
initial xxxxxxx money deposit the sum of Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000.00) (together with all
interest thereon, the “Deposit”) in cash to be held and disbursed by Escrow Agent in
accordance with the remaining provisions of this Agreement including, without limitation,
Section 3.3 below. In addition to the Deposit, Purchaser shall, concurrently with its
execution of this Agreement, deliver to Seller the amount of Twenty-Five Dollars ($25.00), which
amount Seller and Purchaser agree has been bargained for as consideration for Seller’s execution
and delivery of this Agreement and Purchaser’s right to inspect the Property. Such sum is in
addition to and independent of any other consideration or payment provided for in this Agreement
and is non-refundable in all events.
If the Deposit is not paid on or before the date two (2) Business Days after the Opening of
Escrow, this Agreement shall automatically stand terminated without further notice in which event
Escrow Agent shall return the Deposit to Purchaser and Seller and Purchaser shall have no further
obligations under this Agreement except those that expressly survive termination hereunder.
(b) At least one (1) business day prior to the Closing Date, the Purchaser shall deposit in
Escrow the balance of the Purchase Price in good and immediately available funds so that the funds
are released on the Closing Date, subject to adjustment as provided in Article 9.
2.4 Escrow Agent. Purchaser and Seller hereby engage First American Title Insurance
Company (attention: Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx) at the office set forth in Section 12.3 (“Escrow
Agent”) to act as agent for the parties in closing this transaction and carrying out the terms
of this Agreement on the terms and conditions set forth herein. This Agreement shall constitute
escrow instructions to Escrow Agent; provided, however, in the event of any
inconsistency between the provisions hereof and the provisions of any escrow instructions
-3-
requested by Escrow Agent, the terms hereof shall govern and control. “Opening of Escrow”
shall mean the date on which Escrow Agent receives one (1) fully executed counterpart of this
Agreement from Seller and Purchaser together with the Deposit. Escrow Agent shall give Seller and
Purchaser written notice of the date of Opening of Escrow and its signature hereto indicating its
acceptance of the escrow instructions. Escrow and the transaction contemplated hereby shall close
(referred to herein interchangeably as the “Close of Escrow,” the “Closing,” or by
similar words) when all documents and funds necessary to close this transaction have been received
by Escrow Agent and the Deed conveying title to the Properties to Purchaser has been recorded in
accordance with Section 2.2. This Agreement will constitute the sole escrow instructions
to Escrow Agent, and the standard form escrow instructions of Escrow Agent will not be used for
this transaction. Specifically, the parties have rejected any provisions in standard form escrow
instructions pertaining to the procedure for cancellation (such as the 13-day notice provision) as
well any provisions indemnifying Escrow Agent for its negligence, or giving a broker or other third
party any interest in the escrow for this transaction.
3. TITLE, DILIGENCE MATERIALS, ETC.
3.1 Title. Escrow Agent is hereby instructed to, within five (5) days after the date
of Opening of Escrow, provide to Purchaser a Commitment for Title Insurance relating to the
Property (which Commitment, together with any amendments thereto is referred to as the
“Commitment”), disclosing all matters of record which relate to the title to the Property
and Escrow Agent’s requirements for both closing the escrow created by this Agreement and issuing
the policy of title insurance described in Section 4.2. Escrow Agent shall also
simultaneously cause copies of all instruments and other documents referred to in the Commitment
(collectively, the “Underlying Documents”) to be furnished to Purchaser. On or prior to
the date ten (10) business days following its receipt of the Commitment and Underlying Documents,
(the “Title Inspection Period”), the Purchaser shall give the Seller written notice
(“Title Objection Notice”) of any title exceptions set forth on the Commitment as to which
the Purchaser objects, in its sole and absolute discretion. The Seller shall have the right, but
not the obligation, to attempt to remove, satisfy or otherwise cure any exceptions to title to
which the Purchaser so objects; provided, however, that Seller shall be obligated to remove,
satisfy or otherwise eliminate, on or before Closing, all mortgages, deeds-of-trust and other
monetary liens (“Monetary Items”) (other than liens for property taxes not yet due and
payable). If Seller elects to take such actions as may be required to cause such exceptions as to
which Purchaser has objected to be removed from the Commitment, the Seller shall, on or before the
fifth (5th) Business Day following delivery of Purchaser’s Title Objection Notice, give the
Purchaser written notice thereof; it being understood and agreed that the failure of the Seller to
timely give such written notice as to any matters objected to by Purchaser shall be deemed an
election by the Seller not to remedy such matters. If the Seller elects (or is deemed to have
elected) not to cure any title defects to which the Purchaser has so objected, the Purchaser may
elect (i) to terminate this Agreement, in which case Purchaser shall receive a prompt return of the
Deposit and Purchaser and Seller shall have no further obligations to each other under this
Agreement except for those obligations hereunder which expressly survive such termination, or (ii)
to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, notwithstanding such title defect, without any
abatement or reduction in the Purchase Price on account thereof (whereupon such objected to
exceptions or matters shall be deemed to be Permitted Exceptions). The Purchaser shall make any
such election by written notice to the Seller given on or prior to the third (3rd) Business Day
after delivery of the Seller’s notice of its unwillingness or inability to cure (or deemed election
not to
-4-
cure) such defect and time shall be of the essence with respect to the giving of such notice.
Failure of the Purchaser to give such notice shall be deemed an election by the Purchaser to
proceed in accordance with clause (ii) above. Escrow Agent shall also promptly deliver to
Purchaser any updated or revised Commitment, and the corresponding Underlying Documents, which
reflect any new lien, encumbrance, or other exception to title first arising after the Opening of
Escrow and not shown on the original Commitment described above (a “New Title Matter”), as
to which the same procedures, rights and other provisions set forth above in this Section
3.1 shall apply, except that the Title Inspection Period with respect to any such New Title
Matter shall be five (5) days. If Seller fails to discharge or cure Monetary Items at Closing,
Purchaser shall have the right to take such title as Seller can convey, with an abatement of the
Purchase Price in the amount of the Monetary Items not cured or discharged, or terminate this
Agreement and receive a refund of the Deposit.
3.2 Survey. Seller shall, within five (5) days after the Opening of Escrow, provide
Purchaser with any Existing Surveys to the extent such exist and are in Seller’s possession or
control. Purchaser may, at its cost, cause any such survey to be updated, or, in the event there
is no Existing Survey, cause a new survey to be prepared (collectively, the “Survey”).
Purchaser shall have until the end of the Title Inspection Period (as defined below) to object in
writing to any matter shown in the Survey. If Purchaser fails to object within such time period,
the legal description of the Property and any other matters shown in the Survey shall be deemed
approved by Purchaser. If Purchaser does object in writing to any matter shown in the Survey,
Purchaser shall specify the matter objected to in the Title Objection Notice.
3.3 Property Documents. Purchaser hereby acknowledges that Seller has delivered to
Purchaser the Rent Roll and true and correct copies of documents set forth on Schedule 2
and Seller, within five (5) days of the Effective Date, shall deliver copies of all other
non-proprietary documents relating to the Land and the Improvements, to the extent such documents
exist and are in Seller’s possession (the “Property Documents”). Seller may provide such
copies to Purchaser in electronic format. Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that Seller’s Property
Documents will be provided by Seller to accommodate and facilitate Purchaser’s investigations
relating to the Land and the Property and that, except as expressly set forth herein, Seller makes
no representations and warranties of any kind regarding the accuracy or thoroughness of the
information contained in Seller’s Property Documents and Purchaser shall not be entitled to rely on
the Property Documents. Purchaser must perform its own due diligence investigation of the
Properties.
Subject to the terms and conditions below, Purchaser shall have until 5:00 p.m. Arizona time
on September 30, 2011 (the “Property Inspection Period”) to review the Property
Documents and perform a feasibility study or studies with respect to the Property which may include
market and engineering studies, leasing and financial investigations, soil tests, drainage studies,
confirmation that all utilities including water, electric, gas, sewer and telephone are available
to the Property, environmental investigations, confirmation of zoning, and/or such other tests,
studies or investigations with respect to the Property as Purchaser deems appropriate in its sole
and absolute discretion. Subject to the rights of tenants of the Property under their respective
leases and with reasonable advance notice to Seller, Seller shall cause reasonable access to the
Property to be available to Purchaser and the persons so designated by it during the regular
business hours of the respective Property, and shall afford them the opportunity to inspect and
perform any tests upon the Property that Purchaser deems necessary or appropriate to determine
whether the Property is suitable for Purchaser’s purposes, in Purchaser’s sole and
-5-
absolute discretion. At Seller’s request, Seller and/or the involved tenant or its designees
shall be entitled to accompany Purchaser during any such inspection. Purchaser shall have the
right to conduct a Phase I environmental site assessment and, with Seller’s prior written consent,
to be given or withheld in Seller’s sole discretion, a Phase II environmental site assessment
(including soils borings, soil sampling and, if relevant, ground water testing, and invasive
sampling of building materials with respect to the Premises). Purchaser’s activities at the
Property shall be conducted in such a manner so as not to unreasonably interfere with the occupancy
of tenants or their employees, licensees or invitees. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser
shall not conduct any intrusive testing of any of the Properties without the prior written consent
of Seller, which may be withheld in its sole discretion.
If Purchaser, after conducting such inspections, investigations, and tests, determines that
the Property or any part thereof or the Property Documents, or any other aspect of the Property
whatsoever, are not, in Purchaser’s sole and absolute discretion, satisfactory for any reason, or
no reason at all, then Purchaser may elect, at any time on or prior to the date of expiration of
the Property Inspection Period, to cancel this Agreement and the Escrow by written notice to Seller
and Escrow Agent, in which case Purchaser shall receive a prompt return of the Deposit and
Purchaser and Seller shall have no further obligations to each other under this Agreement except
for those obligations hereunder which expressly survive such termination. Upon termination by
Purchaser, Purchaser shall have no obligation to deliver any third-party documents obtained by or
for Purchaser with respect to its investigations of the Property. Notwithstanding anything else
contained herein to the contrary, if Purchaser has not provided Seller with a written notice of
disapproval of the Property or Property Documents prior to the end of the Property Inspection
Period, the Property and Property Documents shall be automatically deemed approved by Purchaser as
of the end of the Property Inspection Period. When Purchaser gives Seller written notice of
approval of its due diligence or is deemed to have given Seller notice of such approval, the
Deposit shall be non-refundable to Purchaser, except in the case of a breach by Seller. If
Purchaser cancels this Agreement as provided in this Section 3.3, then (i) Escrow Agent
shall return to Seller all documents Seller deposited with Escrow Agent in connection with the
Escrow; (ii) Escrow Agent shall return to Purchaser all documents Purchaser deposited with Escrow
Agent in connection with the Escrow; and (iii) Escrow Agent shall return the Deposit to Purchaser.
Upon such event, this Agreement and the Escrow shall be deemed null and void and neither party
shall have any further rights or obligations to the other hereunder or on account hereof, except
for those which by the provisions of this Agreement are expressly stated to survive or occur at
termination of this Agreement.
Purchaser or Purchaser’s representatives, agents and/or consultants shall keep in full force
and effect general liability insurance from an insurance company and in form and substance
reasonably approved by Seller, naming Seller as an additional insured during Purchaser’s or
Purchaser’s agents, representatives and/or consultants entries and inspections of the Property, as
follows:
A. Commercial general liability insurance with combined single limits of not less than
$1,000,000.00 per occurrence for bodily injury and property damage.
B. Any contractor hired to perform environmental tests to the Property shall
maintain errors and omissions or professional liability insurance covering injury or damage arising
out of the rendering or failing to render professional services with limits of at least
$2,000,000.00 per claim.
-6-
C. All insurance maintained under this Section 3.3 shall be procured from insurance
companies reasonably satisfactory to Seller.
Any damage, disturbance or other disruption of the Improvements or the Land or other portion of the
Property caused by Purchaser or its employees, contractors or agents shall be promptly repaired
and/or placed in the condition existing prior to disturbance thereof by Purchaser or its employees,
contractors and agents upon completion of any activities by such parties on or with respect to the
Property. The obligation in the previous sentence shall survive any termination or cancellation of
this Agreement.
3.4 Inspection Indemnity. Purchaser shall indemnify, defend and hold Seller, its
employees, directors and agents harmless for, from and against any and all losses, defaults,
liabilities, causes of action, demands, claims, damage or expenses of every kind including, without
limitation, attorneys’ fees and court costs, arising as a result of each of the inspections by
Purchaser and/or its employees, agents and contractors, and from and against any mechanic’s liens
or claims of lien resulting therefrom (“Inspection Indemnity”). The Inspection Indemnity
shall survive the Close of Escrow or any termination or cancellation of this Agreement.
4. CONDITIONS TO THE PURCHASER’S OBLIGATION TO CLOSE. The obligation of the Purchaser
to acquire the Property shall be subject to the satisfaction of the following conditions precedent
on and as of the Closing Date:
4.1 Closing Documents. The Seller and Purchaser as applicable shall have delivered,
or cause to have been delivered, to the Escrow Agent the following:

“G” (the “Deed”), duly executed and acknowledged by the Seller, conveying title to the
Property, free from all liens and encumbrances other than the Permitted Exceptions;
(b) An assignment by the Seller and an assumption by the Purchaser, in the form set forth on

and the Purchaser, of all of the Seller’s right, title, interest, obligations and liabilities in,
to and under the Leases;
(c) Written notice to each of the tenants of the Property in the form set forth on Exhibit
“E” attached hereto (“Notices to Tenants”) executed by Seller and Purchaser which

(d) A general assignment by the Seller and an assumption by the Purchaser in the form set
forth on Exhibit “B” attached hereto (“General Assignment”), duly executed by the
Seller and the Purchaser, of all of the Seller’s right, title interest obligations and liabilities,
if any, in, to and under all freely transferable Other Property;
(e) A xxxx of sale executed by the Seller, in the form set forth on Exhibit “D”
attached hereto (“Xxxx of Sale”), with respect to any personal property owned by the
Seller, situated at the Property owned by Seller and used in connection with the Property (it

being understood and agreed that no portion of the Purchase Price is allocated to personal
property);
(f) To the extent the same are in the Seller’s possession and not previously delivered, copies
of all material documents and agreements, plans and specifications and contracts, licenses and
permits pertaining to the Property;
(g) To the extent the same are in the Seller’s possession or control, duly executed original

4.2 Title Policy. The Title Company shall be prepared to issue, upon payment of the
title premium, a standard owner’s title policy in the aggregate amount of the Purchase Price (as
same may be allocated as provided in Section 2.1, above), insuring title to the Property is

(and only if) no estoppel certificate form is prescribed by the particular Lease, then in a form
attached hereto as Exhibit “F”, dated no earlier than thirty (30) days prior to Closing
(the “Tenant Estoppels”). Such Tenant Estoppels shall be consistent with each
corresponding Lease, and shall not reveal any default by landlord or tenant, any right to any
unknown offset rent by the tenant or any claim of the same, or any lease documents or other
agreements not delivered to Purchaser that would have an adverse material impact on the Lease.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, any modification by a tenant to an estoppel certificate to qualify
with a knowledge standard, or to conform a statement to the applicable Lease, shall not be grounds
for disapproval by Purchaser. Seller shall make reasonable efforts to obtain and deliver the
Tenant Estoppels required under this Section 4.3(b), provided, however, in no event shall
Seller be deemed in default under this Agreement in the event of Seller’s inability to timely
provide all of the required Tenant Estoppels hereunder, and Purchaser’s sole remedy against Seller

no less than eighty percent (80%) of the square footage of the Improvements of the Property, in the
form and satisfying the requirements provided in Section 4.3(b) above (collectively, the
“Minimum Required Tenant Estoppels”), then the Purchaser’s condition to Closing set forth
in this Section shall automatically be deemed satisfied, provided Seller
-8-
executes any substitute Tenant Estoppels for any tenant that has not delivered an Estoppel
Certificate, which shall be made to Seller’s knowledge.
(c) Purchaser shall not have terminated this Agreement in accordance with Section 10.1
or Section 10.2 below.
4.4 Waiver of Conditions. If any of the conditions in this Section 4 are not
satisfied as of the Closing Date, Purchaser shall have the right to either (a) waive such condition
and complete Closing, or (b) terminate this Agreement and receive a refund of the Deposit. The
foregoing shall not affect Purchaser’s rights and remedies in the event any of the conditions are
not satisfied as a result of Seller’s default, subject to the limitations in Section 11.1
below.

If any of the foregoing cannot be apportioned at the Closing because of the unavailability of
the amounts which are to be apportioned, such items shall be apportioned on the basis of a good
faith estimate by the parties and reconciled as soon as practicable after the Closing Date but, in
any event, no later than twelve (12) months after the Closing Date.
(b) If there are water, gas, electric or other utility meters located at the Property, the
Seller shall obtain readings thereof prior to the Closing Date and the unfixed water rates and
charges, sewer charges, and gas and electricity charges. Seller shall pay all rates, rents and
other charges at Closing. If such readings are not obtainable by the Closing Date, then, at the

utility charges which are based on such readings shall be prorated based upon the per diem charges
obtained by using the most recent period for which such readings shall then be available. Upon the

the Seller or the Purchaser, as the case may be, promptly shall make a payment to the other based
upon such recalculations. The parties agree to make such final recalculations within sixty (60)
days after the Closing Date. At Closing, Purchaser shall credit to the account of Seller all
refundable cash or other deposits posted with utility companies serving the Property, or, at
Seller’s option, Seller shall be entitled to receive and retain such refundable cash and deposits.
(c) If any refunds of real property taxes or assessments, water rates and charges or sewer
charges shall be made after the Closing, the same shall be held in trust by the Seller or the
Purchaser, as the case may be, and shall first be applied to the any unreimbursed costs incurred in
obtaining the same, then to any required refunds to tenants under the Leases, and the balance, if
any, shall be paid to the Seller (for the period prior to the Closing Date) and to the Purchaser
(for the period commencing with the Closing Date).
(d) No insurance policies of the Seller are to be transferred to the Purchaser, and no
apportionment of the premiums therefor shall be made. Purchaser acknowledges that Seller will
terminate its insurance policies covering the Property and that Purchaser must obtain its own
insurance for the Closing Date onward.
(e) At the Closing, the Seller shall transfer to, or cause to be credited to, the Purchaser
the amount of all unapplied security deposits held pursuant to the terms of the Leases. Any
security deposits delivered in the form of a letter of credit shall be assigned to Purchaser at
Closing, and the original letter of credit shall be delivered to Purchaser at Closing. Prior to

any such letter of credit that are necessary to assign the same to Purchaser, and Seller shall be
responsible for any transfer fees charged by the issuer of the letter of credit.

as landlord (i) under Leases first entered into by the Seller after the Opening of Escrow and

inducements, granted by Seller, as landlord under Leases (only to the
-17-
extent) entered into by the Seller prior to the date of this Agreement and where such costs
are unfunded.
(g) If a net amount is owed by the Seller to the Purchaser pursuant to this Section
9.1, such amount shall be credited against the Purchase Price. If a net amount is owed by the
Purchaser to the Seller pursuant to this Section 9.1, such amount shall be added to the
Purchase Price paid to the Seller.
(h) If, on the Closing Date, there are past due rents with respect to any Lease, then such
delinquent rents shall not be prorated at Closing. Any delinquent rents received by the Purchaser
from a tenant after the Closing shall be applied between the parties, as follows: first, to the
actual out of pocket expenses incurred by Purchaser in collecting such rents, and second, to rents
due or to become due to Purchaser for periods after Closing, third to rents due for the calendar
month in which the Closing occurs, and fourth, to all other rents due or past due in the order in
which they became due (i.e., first to older arrearages, then to newer arrearages). Seller shall
promptly remit to Purchaser all sums received by Seller from tenants after the Closing other than
for rents for which Purchaser received credit hereunder. Seller shall have the right to attempt to
collect any past due rents or other amounts following the Closing; provided, however, Seller may
not seek to terminate any Lease or disturb any tenant’s right of possession.
(i) The parties agree that there shall be no proration at Closing of any common area
maintenance, real estate tax, insurance and other similar reimbursements owing from the tenants
(“Additional Rent”). At the time of any final calculation and collection from the tenants of the
Additional Rents for the year in which the Closing has occurred, whether in the nature of year-end
reconciliations or payments in arrears, Seller or Purchaser shall prorate outside Escrow the
Additional Rents and corresponding charges based upon the total amount thereof no later than
April 1, 2012. If, as a result of prorations, the parties determine that either Seller or
Purchaser received from the tenants an amount of Additional Rent in excess of the amount to which
such party is entitled, such party shall pay such excess to the other party within thirty (30) days
after the proration is determined. In connection with the foregoing, Purchaser and Seller shall
cooperate with each other concerning the calculation of the post-closing proration.
The
provisions of this Section 9.1 shall survive the Closing.
9.2
Closing Costs.

fifty percent (50%) of the Escrow Fee; and (iv) all transfer taxes, transfer fees, documentary
stamp taxes, and other similar fees or charges.
(b) The Seller shall pay (i) the title insurance premium for standard owner’s coverage under

building making up the Property is materially destroyed or damaged by fire or other casualty (i.e.,
fifteen percent (15%) or more of the Property), or in the event that the physical condition of any
Property otherwise suffers a material adverse change resulting in a diminution of value of fifteen
percent (15%) or more of such Property, the Seller shall promptly notify the Purchaser of such
fact. In such event, the Purchaser shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by giving
written notice to the Seller not later than ten (10) days after the giving the Seller’s notice

casualty or if the Purchaser shall not elect to terminate this Agreement as aforesaid, there shall
be no abatement of the Purchase Price and the Seller shall assign to the Purchaser at the Closing
the rights of the Seller to the proceeds, if any, under the Seller’s insurance policies covering
the Property with respect to such damage or destruction and there shall be credited against the
Purchase Price the amount of any deductible, any proceeds previously received by Seller on account
thereof and any deficiency in proceeds.
10.2 Condemnation. If, prior to the Closing, a material part of any of the individual
land making up any Property (i.e., a portion of and/or interest in the Property comprising fifteen
percent (15%) or more of the value of any Property), is taken by eminent domain (or is the subject
of a pending taking which has not yet been consummated, or is sold or conveyed in lieu of such
taking), the Seller shall notify the Purchaser of such fact promptly after obtaining knowledge
thereof and the Purchaser shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by giving written notice
to the Seller not later than ten (10) days after the giving of the Seller’s notice (and, if
necessary, the Closing Date shall be extended until one day after the expiration of such ten (10)
day period). If the Purchaser elects to terminate this Agreement as aforesaid, this Agreement
shall terminate and be of no further force and effect, the Deposit shall be promptly returned to
Purchaser, and no party shall have any liability to the other hereunder. If less than a material
part of any of the individual buildings making up the Property shall be affected or if the
Purchaser shall not elect to terminate this Agreement as aforesaid, the sale of the Property shall
be consummated as herein provided without any adjustment to the Purchase Price (except to the
extent of any condemnation award received by the Seller prior to the Closing) and the Seller shall
assign to the Purchaser at the Closing all of the Seller’s right, title and interest in and to all
awards, if any, for the taking, and the Purchaser shall be entitled to receive and keep all awards
for the taking of the Property or portion thereof.
10.3 Survival. The parties’ obligations, if any, under this Section 10 shall
survive the Closing.
-19-
11. DEFAULT.
11.1 Default by the Seller. If the Closing fails to occur solely as a result of a
default by Seller hereunder, the Purchaser may, as its sole and exclusive remedy, either (a)
terminate this Agreement and receive a refund of its Deposit, plus Purchaser’s actual documented
out-of-pocket third party expenses incurred in conducting its due diligence with respect to the
transaction contemplated by this Agreement, subject to a cap of Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars
($25,000.00), or (b) pursue an action for specific performance provided that Purchaser files such
action in a court with appropriate jurisdiction within thirty (30) days of Seller’s default.
11.2 Default by the Purchaser. IN THE EVENT OF A DEFAULT BY THE PURCHASER HEREUNDER,
THEN SELLER’S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE RIGHT AND REMEDY FOR SUCH BREACH SHALL BE TO TERMINATE THIS
AGREEMENT AND CANCEL THE ESCROW BY WRITTEN NOTICE TO PURCHASER AND ESCROW AGENT IN WHICH EVENT
ESCROW AGENT SHALL PAY THE DEPOSIT AND ALL ACCRUED INTEREST THEREON TO SELLER. THE DEPOSIT SHALL
CONSTITUTE LIQUIDATED DAMAGES. THE PARTIES ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT IT WOULD BE IMPRACTICABLE OR
EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO FIX THE ACTUAL DAMAGES THAT SELLER WOULD INCUR AS A RESULT OF THE BREACH BY
PURCHASER OF ITS OBLIGATION TO PURCHASE THE PROPERTY. THE PARTIES AGREE THAT THE DEPOSIT IS A
REASONABLE ESTIMATE OF SELLER’S DAMAGES, AND SHALL CONSTITUTE LIQUIDATED DAMAGES IN ACCORDANCE WITH
ALL LAWS APPLICABLE TO THIS TRANSACTION INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ALL LAWS OF THE JURISDICTION
IN WHICH THE PROPERTY IS LOCATED. THE PARTIES ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE PAYMENT OF SUCH LIQUIDATED
DAMAGES IS NOT INTENDED AS A FORFEITURE OR PENALTY, BUT IS INTENDED TO CONSTITUTE LIQUIDATED
DAMAGES TO SELLER. SELLER WAIVES ALL OTHER REMEDIES FOR PURCHASER’S BREACH OF ITS OBLIGATION TO
PURCHASE THE PROPERTY IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT, PROVIDED HOWEVER NOTHING
HEREIN SHALL LIMIT SELLER’S RIGHT TO RECOVERY FOR (i) PURCHASER’S INDEMNITY OBLIGATIONS; (ii) ANY
RIGHT TO ATTORNEY’S FEES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT; OR (iii) PURCHASER’S OBLIGATION TO PROVIDE COPIES OF
PURCHASER’S DUE DILIGENCE DOCUMENTS TO SELLER.

construed as a further or continuing waiver of any other breach of such term, condition, covenant,
representation or warranty or any other term, condition, covenant, representation or warranty, nor

amended, nor shall any waiver, change, modification, consent or discharge be effected, except by an
instrument in writing executed by or on behalf of the party against whom enforcement of any

or shall in fact be, invalid, inoperative or unenforceable as applied to any particular case in
-22-
any
jurisdiction or jurisdictions, or in all jurisdictions or in all cases, because of the conflict of
any provision with any constitution or statute or rule of public policy or for any other
reason, such circumstance shall not have the effect of rendering the provision or provisions in
question invalid, inoperative or unenforceable in any other jurisdiction or in any other case or
circumstance or of rendering any other provision or provisions herein contained invalid,
inoperative or unenforceable to the extent that such other provisions are not themselves actually
in conflict with such constitution, statute or rule of public policy, but this Agreement shall be
reformed and construed in any such jurisdiction or case as if such invalid, inoperative or
unenforceable provision had never been contained herein and such provision reformed so that it
would be valid, operative and enforceable to the maximum extent permitted in such jurisdiction or
in such case.
12.7 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each
of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same
instrument. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement of the parties hereto with respect to

purporting to be an agreement of the parties hereto relating to the subject matter hereof. The
parties may also exchange signatures by facsimile or electronic mail.

in connection with the interpretation or enforcement of this Agreement, the prevailing party
therein shall be entitled to receive from the other party the prevailing party’s costs and
expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expert witness fees incurred in connection
therewith, in preparation therefor and on appeal therefrom, which amounts shall be included in any
judgment therein.

take all actions reasonably requested by the requesting party in order to effectuate all or any
part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement a like-kind exchange for the benefit of the
requesting party in accordance with Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code, including executing
an instrument acknowledging and consenting to any assignment by the requesting
-23-
party of its rights
hereunder to a qualified intermediary or an exchange accommodation
titleholder. In furtherance of the foregoing and notwithstanding anything contained in this
Agreement to the contrary, the requesting party may assign its rights under this Agreement to a
“qualified intermediary” or an “exchange accommodation titleholder” in order to facilitate, at no
cost or expense to the other, a forward or reverse like-kind exchange under Section 1031 of the
Internal Revenue Code; provided, however, that such assignment will not relieve the requesting
party of any of its obligations hereunder. The non-requesting party will also agree to issue all
closing documents, including the deed, to the applicable qualified intermediary or exchange
accommodation titleholder if so directed by the requesting party prior to Closing. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, in no event shall the non-exchanging party incur or be subject to any liability that
is not otherwise provided for in this Agreement; the Closing Date shall not be delayed as the
result of such exchange; all additional costs in connection with such exchange shall be borne by
the exchanging party; and the exchanging party shall indemnify the non-exchanging party and hold
the non-exchanging party harmless from and against any and all claims, demands, liabilities, costs,
expenses, penalties, damages and losses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees
relating to the non-exchanging party’s participation in such exchange. This Agreement is not
subject to or conditioned upon the ability to consummate an exchange.

without the prior written consent of both parties.
12.16 Non-liability of Representatives of Seller. No trustee, officer, shareholder,
employee or agent of the Seller shall be held to any personal liability, jointly or severally, for
any obligation of, or claim against, the Seller. Purchaser shall look only to the assets of the
Seller for the payment of any sum or the performance of any obligation hereunder.
12.17 Non-liability of Representatives of Purchaser. Subject to Section 11.2,
no trustee, officer, shareholder, employee or agent of Purchaser shall be held to any personal
liability, jointly or severally, for any obligation of, or claim against, Purchaser. Seller shall
look only to the assets of Purchaser for the payment of any sum or the performance of any
obligation hereunder.
12.18 Waiver. The Purchaser hereby acknowledges that it is a sophisticated purchaser
of real properties and that it is aware of all disclosures the Seller is or may be required to
provide to the Purchaser in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby pursuant to any
applicable law, rule or regulation.
12.19 Further Assurances. In addition to the actions recited herein and contemplated
to be performed, executed, and/or delivered by the Seller and the Purchaser, the Seller and the
Purchaser agree to perform, execute and/or deliver or cause to be performed, executed and/or
delivered at the Closing or after the Closing any and all such further acts, instruments, deeds and
assurances as may be reasonably required to establish, confirm or otherwise evidence the Seller’s
satisfaction of any disclosure obligations or to otherwise consummate the transactions contemplated
hereby.

hereby appoint Escrow Agent as, and Escrow Agent agrees to act as,

referred to herein contain the entire agreement and understanding between the parties hereto
relating to the subject matter hereof.
12.22 Interrelation. This Agreement is in all respects intended by each party hereto
