Unless the Title Company has then previously received, or receives within three (3) Business Days after such written notification to the Other Party of the Title Company’s receipt of the Certifying Party’s certificate, contrary instructions from the Other Party, the Title Company, within one (1) Business Day after the expiration of the foregoing three (3) Business Day period, will deliver the Xxxxxxx Money Deposit to the Certifying Party, and thereupon the Title Company will be discharged and released from any and all liability hereunder. If the Title Company receives contrary instructions from the Other Party within three (3) Business Days following such written notification to the Other Party of the Title Company’s receipt of said certificate, the Title Company will not so deliver the Xxxxxxx Money Deposit, but will continue to hold the same pursuant hereto, subject to Section 4.6.
Section 4.6Joint Indemnification of Title Company; Conflicting Demands on Title Company. If this Agreement or any matter relating hereto (other than the Updated Title Commitment or the Title Policies) becomes the subject of any litigation or controversy, Purchaser and Sellers jointly and severally, will hold Title Company free and harmless from any loss or expense, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, that may be suffered by it by reason thereof other than as a result of Title Company’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. In the event
    -11-

conflicting demands are made or notices served upon Title Company with respect to this Agreement, or if there is uncertainty as to the meaning or applicability of the terms of this Agreement or the Escrow Instructions, Purchaser and Sellers expressly agree that the Title Company will be entitled to file a suit in interpleader and to obtain an order from the court requiring Purchaser and Sellers to interplead and litigate their several claims and rights among themselves. Upon the filing of the action in interpleader and the deposit of the Xxxxxxx Money Deposit into the registry of the court, the Title Company will be fully released and discharged from any further obligations imposed upon it by this Agreement after such deposit.
Section 4.7Maintenance of Confidentiality by Title Company. Except as may otherwise be required by law or by this Agreement or as reasonably necessary in the due course of Title Company fulfilling its obligations under this Agreement, the Title Company will maintain in strict confidence and not disclose to anyone the existence of this Agreement, the identity of the parties hereto, the amount of the Purchase Price, the provisions of this Agreement or any other information concerning the transactions contemplated hereby, without the prior written consent of Purchaser and Sellers in each instance.
Section 4.8Investment of Xxxxxxx Money Deposit. Title Company will invest and reinvest the Xxxxxxx Money Deposit, at the instruction and sole election of Purchaser, only in (a) bonds, notes, Treasury bills or other securities constituting direct obligations of, or guaranteed by the full faith and credit of, the United States of America, and in no event maturing beyond the Closing Date, or (b) an interest-bearing account at a commercial bank mutually acceptable to Sellers, Purchaser and Title Company. The investment of the Xxxxxxx Money Deposit will be at the sole risk of Purchaser and no loss on any investment will relieve Purchaser of its obligations to pay to Sellers as liquidated damages the original amount of the Xxxxxxx Money Deposit as provided in Article XIII, or of its obligation to pay the Purchase Price. All interest earned on the Xxxxxxx Money Deposit will be the property of Purchaser and will be reported to the Internal Revenue Service as income until such time as Sellers are entitled to the Xxxxxxx Money Deposit pursuant to this Agreement. Purchaser will provide the Title Company with a taxpayer identification number and will pay all income taxes due by reason of interest accrued on the Xxxxxxx Money Deposit.

(b)Purchaser acknowledges that any and all of the Documents may be proprietary and confidential in nature and shall be made available to Purchaser solely to assist Purchaser in determining the feasibility of purchasing the Property. Purchaser agrees not to disclose the contents of the Documents, or any of the provisions, terms or conditions contained therein, to any party outside of Purchaser’s organization other than its attorneys, partners, accountants, consultants, advisors, lenders (including such lender’s legal counsel, accountants, consultants, and officers) or investors (collectively, for purposes of this Section 5.2(b), the “Permitted Outside Parties”). Purchaser further agrees that within its organization, or as to Permitted Outside Parties, the Documents will be disclosed and exhibited only to those persons within Purchaser’s organization or to those Permitted Outside Parties who reasonably need to know such information in order to advise Purchaser or provide Purchaser reports, surveys, studies or plans in connection with the feasibility of Purchaser’s acquisition of the Property. Purchaser further acknowledges that the Documents and other information relating to the leasing
    -14-

arrangements between Owner LLC and the Tenants or prospective tenants are proprietary and confidential in nature. Purchaser agrees not to divulge the contents of such Documents and other information except in strict accordance with the confidentiality standards set forth in Article XII and this Section 5.2. In permitting Purchaser and the Permitted Outside Parties to review the Documents or information to assist Purchaser, Sellers have not waived any privilege or claim of confidentiality with respect thereto, and no third party benefits or relationships of any kind, either express or implied, have been offered, intended or created by Sellers and any such claims are expressly rejected by Sellers and waived by Purchaser and the Permitted Outside Parties, for whom, by its execution of this Agreement, Purchaser is acting as an agent with regard to such waiver. Purchaser shall be responsible for any breaches of confidentiality under this Agreement by any of the Permitted Outside Parties.
(c)Purchaser shall use best efforts to destroy all copies Purchaser has made of any Documents containing confidential information before or after the execution of this Agreement (and computer files of same), not later than ten (10) Business Days following the time this Agreement is terminated for any reason, and provide Sellers with a certified notice of the completion of such destruction. Notwithstanding the above, Purchaser shall be permitted to retain copies of Documents consistent with its internal document retention policies subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
(d)Purchaser acknowledges that some of the Documents may have been prepared by third parties and may have been prepared prior to Sellers’ ownership of the Property. Purchaser hereby acknowledges that, except as expressly provided in Sections 8.1 and 8.2, Sellers have not made and do not make any representation or warranty regarding the truth, accuracy or completeness of the Documents or the sources thereof (whether prepared by Sellers, Sellers’ Affiliates or any other person or entity). Sellers have not undertaken any independent investigation as to the truth, accuracy or completeness of the Documents and are providing the Documents solely as an accommodation to Purchaser.
(e)Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, no termination of this Agreement will terminate Purchaser’s obligations pursuant to this Section 5.2.

Nothing contained in this Section 5.3 shall be deemed or construed as Sellers’ consent to any further physical testing or sampling with respect to the Property after the Final Due Diligence Period.
(b)Purchaser hereby indemnifies, defends and holds Sellers and their members, partners, agents, officers, directors, employees, successors, assigns and Affiliates harmless from and against any and all liens, claims, causes of action, damages, liabilities, demands, suits, and obligations, together with all losses, penalties, actual out-of-pocket costs and expenses relating to any of the foregoing (including but not limited to court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of any inspections, investigations, examinations, entries, samplings or tests conducted by Purchaser or any Licensee Party, whether prior to or after the date hereof, with respect to the Property or any violation of the provisions of this Section 5.3; provided that the foregoing indemnity shall not apply to any claims, damages or other costs arising by virtue of the mere discovery of any pre-existing condition at the Property in connection with any inspections, investigations, examinations, entries, samplings or tests conducted by Purchaser or any Licensee Party, but only to the extent such parties do not exacerbate such pre-existing condition.
(c)Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, neither the Closing nor a termination of this Agreement will terminate Purchaser’s obligations pursuant to this Section 5.3, which shall survive Closing or termination.
(d)Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Inspection Agreement shall not be merged into this Agreement at Closing or otherwise.

Purchaser represents that it is a knowledgeable, experienced and sophisticated purchaser of real estate, and that it is relying solely on its own expertise and that of Purchaser’s consultants in purchasing the Property. Upon expiration of the Final Due Diligence Period, Purchaser shall be deemed to have conducted such inspections, investigations and other independent examinations of the Property and related matters as Purchaser deems necessary, including but not limited to the physical and environmental conditions thereof, and will rely upon same and not upon any statements of Sellers (excluding the limited specific matters represented by Sellers herein as limited by Section 16.1 of this Agreement) or of any Affiliate, officer, director, employee, agent or attorney of Sellers. Purchaser acknowledges that all information obtained by Purchaser was obtained from a variety of sources and, except as set forth in this Agreement, Sellers will not be deemed to have represented or warranted the completeness, truth or accuracy of any of the Documents or other such information heretofore or hereafter furnished to Purchaser. Upon Closing, Purchaser will assume the risk that adverse matters, including, but not limited to, adverse physical and environmental conditions, may not have been revealed by Purchaser’s inspections and investigations. Purchaser further hereby assumes the risk of changes in applicable Environmental Laws relating to past, present and future environmental health conditions on, or resulting from the ownership or operation of, the Property. Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that upon Closing, Sellers will sell and convey to Purchaser, and Purchaser will accept the Property, “AS IS, WHERE IS,” with all faults. Purchaser further acknowledges and agrees that there are no oral agreements, warranties or representations, collateral to or affecting the Property, by Sellers, an Affiliate of Sellers, any agent of Sellers or any third party. Sellers are not liable or bound in any manner by any oral or written statements, representations or information pertaining to the Property furnished by any real estate broker, agent, employee, servant or other person, unless the same are specifically set forth or referred to herein.

Purchaser, with Purchaser’s counsel, has fully reviewed the disclaimers and waivers set forth in this Agreement, and understands the significance and effect thereof. Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that the disclaimers and other agreements set forth herein are an integral part of this Agreement, and that Sellers would not have agreed to sell the Property to Purchaser for the Purchase Price without the disclaimer and other agreements set forth in this Agreement.

Purchaser, on behalf of itself and its partners, officers, directors, agents, controlling persons and Affiliates, hereby releases Sellers and Sellers’ Affiliates and their respective partners, members, owners, officers, directors, agents, representatives and controlling persons (collectively, the “Seller Released Parties”) from any and all liability, responsibility, penalties, fines, suits, demands, actions, losses, damages, expenses, causes of action, proceedings, judgments, executions, costs of any kind or nature whatsoever and claims (collectively, “Claims”) arising out of or related to any matter or any nature relating to the Property or its condition (including, without limitation, the presence in the soil, soil gas, air, structures and surface and subsurface waters, of any Hazardous Substances or any chemical, material or substance that may in the future be determined to be toxic, hazardous, undesirable or subject to regulation and/or that may need to be specially treated, handled and/or removed from the Property under current or future federal, state and local laws, regulations or guidelines, any latent or patent construction defects, errors or omissions, compliance with law matters, any statutory or common law right Purchaser may have for property damage Claims, bodily injury Claims, contribution or cost recovery Claims or any other Claims under Environmental Laws and/or to receive disclosures from Sellers, including, without limitation, any disclosures as to the Property’s location within areas designated as subject to flooding, fire, seismic or earthquake risks by any federal, state or local entity, the need to obtain flood insurance, the certification of water heater bracing and/or the advisability of obtaining title insurance, or any other condition or circumstance affecting the Property, its financial viability, use of operation, or any portion thereof), valuation, salability or utility of the Property, or its suitability for any purpose. Without limiting the foregoing, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Purchaser specifically releases Sellers and the Seller Released Parties from any claims Purchaser may have against Sellers and/or the other Seller Released Parties now or in the future arising from the environmental condition of the Property or the presence of Hazardous Substances or contamination on or emanating from the Property, including any rights of contribution or indemnity. The foregoing waivers and releases by Purchaser shall survive the Closing and shall not be deemed merged into the provisions of any Closing Documents. In the event of any termination of this Agreement, Purchaser acknowledges that it shall have no interest in the Property from and after any such termination.
(b)Purchaser’s Waiver of Objections. Purchaser acknowledges that it has (or shall have prior to the expiration of the Final Due Diligence Period) inspected the Property, observed its physical characteristics and existing conditions and had the opportunity to conduct such investigations and studies on and off said Property and adjacent areas as it deems or deemed necessary, and Purchaser hereby waives any and all objections to or complaints (including but not limited to actions based on federal, state or common law and any private right of action under CERCLA, RCRA or any other state and federal law to which the Property are or may be subject, including any rights of contribution or indemnity) against Sellers, their Affiliates, or their respective officers, directors, partners, members, owners, employees or agents regarding physical characteristics and existing conditions, including without limitation structural and geologic conditions, subsurface soil and water conditions and solid and hazardous waste and Hazardous Substances on, under, adjacent to or otherwise affecting the Property or related to prior uses of the Property.

(d)Flood Hazard Zone. Purchaser acknowledges that if the Real Property is located in an area which the Secretary of the Department of Housing and Urban Development
    -19-

has found to have special flood hazards, then pursuant to the National Flood Insurance Program, Purchaser will be required to purchase flood insurance in order to obtain a loan secured by the Real Property from a federally regulated financial institution or a loan insured or guaranteed by an agency of the United States government. Sellers shall have no responsibility to determine whether the Real Property is located in an area which is subject to the National Flood Insurance Program.
(e)Survival. The provisions of this Section 5.6 shall survive (i) the Closing and shall not be deemed merged into the provisions of any Closing Documents, or (ii) any termination of this Agreement.
Article VI
TITLE AND SURVEY MATTERS
Section 6.1Survey. Prior to the execution and delivery of this Agreement, Sellers have, at their own cost, delivered to Purchaser a copy of that certain ALTA survey of the Real Property, issued on August 5, 2021, revised on December 1, 2021, and prepared by Sambatek, Inc. (the “Updated Survey”).
Section 6.2Title and Survey Review.
(a)Prior to the execution and delivery hereof, Sellers have, at their own cost, caused the Title Company to furnish or otherwise make available to Purchaser a preliminary title commitment for the Real Property having an effective date of November 9, 2021 (the “Updated Title Commitment”) and copies of all underlying title documents described in the Updated Title Commitment. Purchaser shall have until the date which is ten (10) Business Days following the Effective Date (the “Title Notice Date”) to provide written notice (the “Title Notice”) to Sellers and Title Company of any title matters shown on the Updated Title Commitment and/or the Updated Survey which are not satisfactory to Purchaser. If Sellers have not received such written notice from Purchaser by the Title Notice Date, Purchaser shall be deemed to have unconditionally approved of the condition of title to the Property set forth in the Updated Title Commitment and the Updated Survey, subject to Sellers’ obligations set forth in Section 6.2(c) below. Except as expressly provided herein, Sellers shall have no obligation whatsoever to expend or agree to expend any funds, to undertake or agree to undertake any obligations, or otherwise to cure or agree to cure any title objections. To the extent Purchaser timely delivers a Title Notice, then Sellers shall deliver, no later than the date which is five (5) days following receipt of the Title Notice, written notice to Purchaser and Title Company identifying which disapproved items, if any, Sellers shall undertake to cure (by either having the same removed or by obtaining affirmative insurance over the same as part of the final Owner Title Policy) (“Sellers’ Response”). If Sellers do not deliver Sellers’ Response prior to such date, Sellers shall be deemed to have elected to not remove or otherwise cure any exceptions disapproved by Purchaser. If Sellers elect, or are deemed to have elected, not to remove or otherwise cure an exception disapproved in Purchaser’s Title Notice, Purchaser shall have until the Final Contingency Date to (i) deliver a written notice (a “Termination Notice”) to Sellers and Title Company terminating this Agreement as set forth in Section 5.4 above, or (ii) waive any such objection to title to the Real Property (whereupon such objections shall be deemed Permitted Exceptions for all purposes hereof). If Sellers and Title Company have not received written notice from Purchaser by the Final Contingency Date, such failure shall be deemed Purchaser’s waiver of all such objections to the Updated Title Commitment and the Updated Survey.
(b)Purchaser may, at or prior to Closing, notify Sellers in writing (the “Gap Notice”) of any objections to title issues (i) raised by the Title Company between the expiration of the Final Due Diligence Period and the Closing, (ii) not disclosed in writing by the Title Company to Purchaser prior to the expiration of the Final Due Diligence Period, and (iii) not
    -20-

disclosed in writing by Sellers to Purchaser and the Title Company prior to the expiration of the Final Due Diligence Period (“New Exceptions”); provided that Purchaser must notify Sellers of any objection to any such New Exception prior to the date which is the earlier to occur of (x) four (4) Business Days after being made aware of the existence of such New Exception and (y) prior to the Closing Date. If Purchaser fails to deliver to Sellers a notice of objections on or before such date, Purchaser will be deemed to have waived any objection to the New Exceptions, and the New Exceptions will be included as Permitted Exceptions. Sellers will have two (2) days from the receipt of Purchaser’s notice (and, if necessary, Sellers may extend the Closing Date to provide for such two (2) day period and for two (2) days following such period for Purchaser’s response), within which time Sellers may, but are under no obligation to, remove or otherwise obtain affirmative insurance over the objectionable New Exceptions, or commit to remove or otherwise obtain affirmative insurance over the same at or prior to Closing. If, within the two (2) day period, Sellers do not remove or otherwise obtain affirmative insurance reasonably acceptable to Purchaser over the objectionable New Exceptions, then Purchaser may terminate this Agreement upon delivering a Termination Notice to Sellers in accordance with Section 5.4 above no later than the Closing Date, in which case Purchaser shall be entitled to return of the Xxxxxxx Money Deposit. If Purchaser fails to terminate this Agreement in the manner set forth above, the New Exceptions (except those Sellers have removed or otherwise affirmatively insured over, or committed to do the same as set forth above) will be included as Permitted Exceptions.
(c)Notwithstanding any provision of this Section 6.2 to the contrary, Sellers will be obligated to cure exceptions to title to the Real Property and Improvements relating to (or, as to (ii) and (iii) below, cure or cause deletion from the Owner Title Policy or affirmative title insurance over) (i) liens and security interests securing any loan to either Seller or both Sellers, (ii) any mechanics’ or supplier liens on the Real Property created by or through the actions of either Seller or both Sellers (which shall not include liens described in clause (v) of Section 6.3 hereof), and (iii) any other liens or security interests created by documents executed by either Seller or both Sellers to secure monetary obligations, other than liens for ad valorem taxes and assessments for the current calendar year (collectively, the “Must-Cure Matters”).
Section 6.3Title Insurance. Purchaser’s obligation to close shall be expressly conditioned upon the Title Company’s irrevocable commitment to issue to Purchaser at Closing, an ALTA extended coverage Owner’s Policy of Title Insurance (the “Owner Title Policy”) with liability in the amount of the Purchase Price, showing title to the Real Property vested in the Purchaser, with such endorsements as Purchaser shall request and Title Company shall have agreed to issue prior to the expiration of the Final Due Diligence Period, subject only to: (i) the pre-printed standard exceptions in such Owner Title Policy, (ii) exceptions approved or deemed approved by Purchaser pursuant to Section 6.2 above, (iii) the Tenant Leases, (iv) any taxes and assessments for the year of Closing and for any other year if not yet due and payable as of the Closing, (v) any liens or claims of liens for work, service, labor or materials performed or supplied by, for or on behalf of any Tenant under the Tenant Leases, (vi) all matters shown on the Updated Survey, or any updates thereto, (vii) any matters which have been removed or affirmatively insured over (in a manner reasonably acceptable to Purchaser), and (viii) any exceptions arising from Purchaser’s actions (collectively, the “Permitted Exceptions”). It is understood that Purchaser intends to work with the Title Company to arrange issuance of an ALTA Lender’s Policy in form acceptable to Purchaser’s lender (the “Lender Title Policy,” and together with the Owner Title Policy, the “Title Policies”) and that Purchaser may request a number of endorsements to the Title Policies, but the issuance of the Lender Title Policy and any such endorsements shall not be conditions to Closing.

Article VII
INTERIM OPERATING COVENANTS AND ESTOPPELS
Section 7.1Interim Operating Covenants. Sellers covenant to Purchaser, that Sellers will:
(a)Operations. From the Effective Date until Closing, continue to operate, manage and maintain the Improvements in the ordinary course of Sellers’ business and substantially in accordance with Sellers’ present practice, subject to ordinary wear and tear and Article IX of this Agreement.
(b)Maintain Insurance. From the Effective Date until Closing, maintain fire and extended coverage insurance on the Improvements which is at least equivalent in all material respects to Sellers’ insurance policies covering the Improvements as of the Effective Date.
(c)Personal Property. From the Effective Date until Closing, not transfer or remove any Personal Property from the Improvements except for the purpose of repair or replacement thereof. Any items of Personal Property replaced after the Effective Date will be installed prior to Closing and will be of substantially similar quality of the item of Personal Property being replaced.
(d)Leases. From the Effective Date until Closing, not enter into any new lease or any amendments, expansions or renewals of Tenant Leases, or terminate any Tenant Lease, without the prior written consent of the material terms thereof by Purchaser, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. Furthermore, nothing herein shall be deemed to require Purchaser’s consent to any expansion or renewal which Owner LLC, as landlord, is required to honor pursuant to any Tenant Lease.
(e)Service Contracts. From the Effective Date until Closing, not enter into, or renew the term of, any service contract, other than in the ordinary course of business, unless such service contract is terminable on thirty (30) days (or less) prior notice without penalty or unless Purchaser consents thereto in writing, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned.
(f)Notices. To the extent received by Sellers, from the Effective Date until Closing, promptly deliver to Purchaser copies of written default notices, notices of lawsuits and notices of violations affecting the Property.
(g)Encumbrances. Without Purchaser’s prior approval in its sole discretion, Sellers shall not voluntarily subject the Property to any additional liens, encumbrances, covenants or easements, which would not constitute Permitted Exceptions, unless released prior to Closing.
Whenever in this Section 7.1 Sellers are required to obtain Purchaser’s approval with respect to any transaction described therein, Purchaser shall, within three (3) Business Days after receipt of Sellers’ request therefor, notify Sellers of its approval or disapproval of same and, if Purchaser fails to notify Sellers of its approval within said three (3) Business Day period, Purchaser shall be deemed to have disapproved same.
Section 7.2Tenant Lease Estoppels.
(a)It will be a condition to Closing that Owner LLC obtains and delivers to Purchaser, from each of the major tenants listed on Exhibit C-1 (“Major Tenants”), and from such other Tenants leasing space at the Improvements, which when added to the Major Tenants
    -22-

aggregates at least eighty percent (80%) of the rentable square footage leased at the Improvements, executed Acceptable Estoppel Certificates. “Acceptable Estoppel Certificates” are estoppel certificates in substantially the form of the estoppel certificate attached hereto as Exhibit C-2, which shall not contain any material modifications or inconsistencies with respect to the rent roll and the Tenant Leases and which shall not disclose any alleged material default or unfulfilled material obligation on the part of the landlord not previously disclosed in writing to Purchaser; provided that an estoppel certificate executed by a Tenant: (x) in the form expressly prescribed by its Tenant Lease or (y) with respect to a regional or national Tenant, in the standard form generally used by such Tenant, shall constitute an Acceptable Estoppel Certificate if it is otherwise consistent with this Section 7.2 and the factual information contained in the estoppels distributed to such Tenants pursuant to the provisions of this Section 7.2, and provided further that an estoppel certificate modified by a Tenant to omit paragraph 6 on Exhibit C-2 shall constitute an Acceptable Estoppel Certificate if it is otherwise consistent with this Section 7.2 and the factual information contained in the estoppels distributed to such Tenants pursuant to the provisions of this Section 7.2. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, in no event shall Owner LLC’s failure to obtain the required number of Acceptable Estoppel Certificates in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7.2 constitute a default by Sellers under this Agreement. Purchaser’s sole and exclusive remedy for a failure of the condition to obtain the required number of Acceptable Estoppel Certificates shall be to terminate this Agreement and receive a refund of the Xxxxxxx Money Deposit. Prior to delivery of the forms of estoppel certificates to the Major Tenants (but not any other Tenants), Owner LLC will deliver to Purchaser completed forms of estoppel certificates, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C-2 or such forms as required by the applicable Major Tenant Tenant Lease and containing the information contemplated thereby, for only Major Tenants. Within two (2) Business Days following Purchaser’s receipt thereof, Purchaser will send to Sellers notice either (i) approving such forms as completed by Owner LLC or (ii) setting forth in detail all changes to such forms which Purchaser reasonably believes to be appropriate to make the completed forms of estoppel certificates accurate and complete. Owner LLC will make such changes to the extent Owner LLC agrees such changes are appropriate, except that Owner LLC will not be obligated to make any changes which request more expansive information than is contemplated by Exhibit C-2 or the form required by the applicable Major Tenant Tenant Lease. Purchaser’s failure to respond within such two (2) Business Day period shall be deemed approval of such proposed form of estoppel certificate.
(b)Sellers, at their sole option, may elect to satisfy part of the requirements under Section 7.2(a) by delivering a representation certificate from Owner LLC in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C-3 (a “Seller Certificate”) for up to ten percent (10%) of the rentable area at the Improvements, but not for any Major Tenant. If Sellers subsequently obtain an estoppel certificate meeting the requirements of Section 7.2(a) hereof from a Tenant for which Owner LLC has delivered a Seller Certificate, the delivered Seller Certificate will be null and void, and Purchaser will accept such estoppel certificate in its place.
Section 7.3OFAC. Pursuant to United States Presidential Executive Order 13224 (“Executive Order”), Sellers are required to ensure that Sellers do not transact business with persons or entities determined to have committed, or to pose a risk of committing or supporting, terrorist acts and those persons (i) described in Section 1 of the Executive Order or (ii) listed in the “Alphabetical Listing of Blocked Persons, Specially Designated Nationals, Specially Designated Terrorists, Specially Designated Global Terrorists, Foreign Terrorist Organizations, and Specially Designated Narcotics Traffickers” published by the United States Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”), 31 C.F.R. Chapter V, Appendix A, as in effect from time to time (as to (i) and (ii), a “Blocked Person”). If Sellers learn that Purchaser is, becomes, or appears to be a Blocked Person, Sellers may delay the sale contemplated by this Agreement pending its conclusion of its investigation into the matter of Purchaser’s status as a Blocked Person. If Sellers determine that Purchaser is or becomes a Blocked Person, Sellers shall have
    -23-

the right to immediately terminate this Agreement and take all other actions necessary, or in the opinion of Sellers, appropriate to comply with applicable law and Purchaser shall receive a return of the Xxxxxxx Money Deposit. The provisions of this Section 7.3 will survive termination of this Agreement.

    -26-

costs (or, if such have not been awarded, all of its right, title and interest therein) payable with respect to such fire or other casualty (excluding any proceeds of insurance that are payable on account of any business interruption, rental insurance or similar coverage intended to compensate Sellers for loss of rental or other income from the Property attributable to periods prior to the Closing), and (b) the parties will proceed to Closing pursuant to the terms hereof without abatement of the Purchase Price, except that Purchaser will receive a credit against cash due at Closing for the amount of the deductible on such insurance policy less any amounts expended by Sellers to collect any such insurance proceeds or to make such repairs or to remedy any unsafe conditions at the Property, other than repairs which are the responsibility of Tenants under Tenant Leases as reasonably estimated by Owner LLC.

Sellers will be charged and credited for the amounts of all of the Proration Items
    -29-

relating to the period up to and including the Closing Time, and Purchaser will be charged and credited for all of the Proration Items relating to the period after the Closing Time. Such preliminary estimated Closing prorations shall be set forth on a preliminary closing statement to be prepared by Sellers and submitted to Purchaser for Purchaser’s approval (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) at least two (2) days prior to the Closing Date (the “Closing Statement”). The Closing Statement, once agreed upon, shall be signed by Purchaser and Sellers and delivered to the Title Company for purposes of making the preliminary proration adjustment at Closing subject to the final cash settlement provided for below. The preliminary proration shall be paid at Closing by Purchaser to Sellers (if the preliminary prorations result in a net credit to Sellers) or by Sellers to Purchaser (if the preliminary prorations result in a net credit to Purchaser) by increasing or reducing the cash to be delivered by Purchaser in payment of the Purchase Price at the Closing. If the actual amounts of the Proration Items are not known as of the Closing Time, the prorations will be made at Closing on the basis of the best evidence then available; thereafter, when actual figures are received, re-prorations will be made on the basis of the actual figures, and a final cash settlement will be made between Sellers and Purchaser.

Sellers will be entitled to all deposits presently in effect with the utility providers, and Purchaser will be obligated to make its own arrangements for deposits with the utility providers. A final reconciliation of Proration Items shall be made by Purchaser and Sellers on or before June 30, 2022 (herein, the “Final Proration Date”). The provisions of this Section 10.4 (excluding subsection (e) which is governed by Section 3.2 above), will survive the Closing until Final Proration Date, and in the event any items subject to proration hereunder are discovered prior to Final Proration Date, the same shall be promptly prorated by the parties in accordance with the terms of this Section 10.4.
(b)Purchaser will receive a credit on the Closing Statement for the prorated amount (as of the Closing Time) of all Rentals previously paid to and collected by Owner LLC and attributable to any period following the Closing Time. After the Closing, Owner LLC will cause to be paid or turned over to Purchaser all Rentals, if any, received by Owner LLC after Closing and properly attributable to any period following the Closing Time. “Rentals” includes fixed monthly rentals, parking rentals and charges, additional rentals, percentage rentals, escalation rentals (which include such Tenant’s proportionate share of building operation and maintenance costs and expenses as provided for under the applicable Tenant Lease, to the extent the same exceeds any expense stop specified in such Tenant Lease), retroactive rentals, administrative charges, utility charges, tenant or real property association dues, storage rentals, special event proceeds, temporary rents, telephone receipts, locker rentals, vending machine receipts and other sums and charges payable to the landlord under the Tenant Lease or from other occupants or users of the Property, excluding specific tenant xxxxxxxx which are governed by Section 10.4(d). Rentals are “Delinquent” if they were due prior to the Closing Time and payment thereof has not been made on or before the Closing Time; provided, however, that deferred rent amounts documented by Owner LLC and Tenants in amendments to Tenant Leases which relate to periods prior to the Closing Time but are not due and payable until after the Closing Time (i) shall not be considered Delinquent Rentals, (ii) shall not be payable to Owner LLC as and when received by Purchaser following Closing and (iii) shall become the sole property of Purchaser at the Closing. Delinquent Rentals will not be prorated. Until the earlier to occur of (i) the date that is six (6) months after Closing or (ii) June 30, 2022, Purchaser agrees to use good faith collection procedures with respect to the collection of any Delinquent Rentals, but Purchaser will have no liability for the failure to collect any such amounts and will not be required to conduct lock-outs or take any other legal action to enforce collection of any such amounts owed to Owner LLC by Tenants of the Property. Owner LLC shall have the right to
    -30-

pursue Delinquent Rentals after Closing. With respect to any Delinquent Rentals received by Purchaser prior to the Final Proration Date (the “Delinquent Rental Proration Period”), Purchaser shall pay to Owner LLC any rent or payment actually collected during the Delinquent Rental Proration Period properly attributable to the period prior to the Closing Time. All sums collected by Purchaser during the Delinquent Rental Proration Period from such Tenants (excluding Tenant payments for Operating Expense Recoveries attributable to the period prior to the Closing Time and tenant specific xxxxxxxx for tenant work orders and other specific services as described in and governed by Section 10.4(d) below, all of which shall be payable to and belong to Owner LLC in all events, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary) will be applied first to amounts currently owed by such Tenants to Purchaser (including Delinquent Rentals attributable to the period after the Closing Time), then any collection costs of Purchaser related to such Tenants, and then to prior delinquencies owed by such Tenants to Owner LLC. Owner LLC shall be entitled to institute legal actions to pursue Delinquent Rental after Closing, but in no event shall Sellers be permitted to institute eviction proceedings against any Tenant. Any sums collected by Purchaser and due to Owner LLC will be promptly remitted to Owner LLC, and any sums collected by Owner LLC and due to Purchaser will be promptly remitted to Purchaser.
(c)Owner LLC will prepare a reconciliation as of the Closing Time of the amounts of all xxxxxxxx and charges for operating expenses and taxes (collectively, “Operating Expense Recoveries”) for calendar year 2022. If less amounts have been collected from Tenants for Operating Expense Recoveries for calendar year 2022 than would have been owed by Tenants under the Tenant Leases if the reconciliations under such Tenant Leases were completed as of the Closing Time based on the operating expenses and taxes incurred by Owner LLC for calendar year 2022 up to the Closing Time (as prorated pursuant to Section 10.4(a) above), Purchaser will pay such difference to Owner LLC at Closing as an addition to the Purchase Price. If more amounts have been collected from Tenants for Operating Expense Recoveries for calendar year 2022 than would have been owed by Tenants under the Tenant Leases if the reconciliations under the Tenant Leases were completed as of the Closing Time based on the operating expenses and taxes incurred by Owner LLC for calendar year 2022 up to the Closing Time (as prorated pursuant to Section 10.4(a) above), Owner LLC will pay to Purchaser at Closing as a credit against the Purchase Price such excess collected amount. Purchaser and Owner LLC agree that such proration of Operating Expense Recoveries at Closing for calendar year 2022 will fully relieve Owner LLC from any responsibility to Tenants or Purchaser for such matters subject to Owner LLC’s and Purchaser’s right and obligation to finalize prorations prior to the Final Proration Date, solely to make adjustments necessary to the extent estimates used in the calculation of such reconciliation at Closing differ from actual bills received after Closing for those items covered by such reconciliation at Closing or to correct any errors. In this regard, subject to Section 10.4(b) dealing with Delinquent Rentals, the foregoing proration will fully relieve Owner LLC from any responsibility to Tenants or Purchaser for such matters and Purchaser will be solely responsible, from and after Closing, for (i) collecting from Tenants the amount of any outstanding Operating Expense Recoveries for calendar year 2022 for periods before and after Closing, and (ii) reimbursing Tenants for amounts attributable to Operating Expense Recoveries for calendar year 2022, as may be necessary based on annual reconciliations for Operating Expense Recoveries for such calendar year.
(d)With respect to specific tenant xxxxxxxx for work orders, special items performed or provided at the request of a Tenant or other specific services, which are collected by Purchaser or Owner LLC after the Closing Time but expressly state they are for such specific services rendered by Owner LLC or its property manager prior to the Closing Time, Purchaser shall cause such collected amounts to be paid to Owner LLC, or Owner LLC may retain such payment if such payment is received by Owner LLC after the Closing Time.
    -31-

(e)(i) Owner LLC shall pay only those Leasing Costs incurred in connection with the lease of space in the Property identified on Exhibit G attached hereto to the extent unpaid as of the Closing Date; (ii) Purchaser will be solely responsible for and shall pay all Leasing Costs (“New Tenant Costs”) incurred or to be incurred in connection with any new Tenant Lease, or the renewal, expansion, or modification of any Tenant Lease executed on or after the Effective Date (the material terms of which have been approved, if applicable, by Purchaser in accordance with Section 7.1(d)); (iii) to the extent Leasing Costs described in clause (i) above remain unpaid as of Closing, Purchaser shall receive a credit from Sellers therefor at Closing and Purchaser shall be responsible after Closing for paying any Leasing Costs for which Purchaser received such a credit; and (iv) Purchaser will be solely responsible for and shall pay all New Tenant Costs and all other Leasing Costs (whether arising before or after Closing).
Section 10.6Delivery of Real Property. Upon completion of the Closing, Sellers will deliver to Purchaser possession of the Real Property and Improvements, subject to the Tenant Leases and the Permitted Exceptions.
Section 10.6Costs of Title Company and Closing Costs. Costs of the Title Company and other Closing costs incurred in connection with the Closing will be allocated as follows:
(a)Purchaser will pay (i) all premium and other incremental costs for obtaining the Title Policies and all endorsements thereto, (ii) Purchaser’s attorney’s fees, (iii) the costs of any update or re-certification of the Updated Survey, (iv) 1/2 of all of the Title Company’s escrow and closing fees, if any, and (v) any mortgage recording tax.
(b)Sellers will pay (i) the cost of the Updated Title Commitment and the Updated Survey, (ii) 1/2 of all of the Title Company’s escrow and closing fees, (iii) Sellers’ attorneys’ fees, (iv) all transfer and excise taxes (including, without limitation, for any city, county and state, and specifically including the applicable deed registration tax), (v) prepayment penalties or premiums incurred by Sellers with respect to prepaying the Property’s existing mortgage indebtedness at Closing (if any), (vi) the recording fees, and (vii) all costs incurred to repay any liens on the Property created by Sellers.
(c)Any other costs and expenses of Closing not provided for in this Section 10.6 shall be allocated between Purchaser and Sellers in accordance with the custom in the county in which the Real Property is located.
(d)If the Closing does not occur for any reason whatsoever, the costs incurred through the date of termination will be borne by the party incurring same.
Section 10.7Post-Closing Delivery of Tenant Notice Letters. Immediately following Closing, Purchaser will deliver to each Tenant (via messenger or FedEx) a written notice executed by Purchaser and Owner LLC (i) acknowledging the sale of the Property to Purchaser, (ii) acknowledging that Purchaser has received and is responsible for the Tenant Deposits (specifying the exact amount of the Tenant Deposits) and (iii) indicating that rent should thereafter be paid to Purchaser and giving instructions therefor (the “Tenant Notice Letters”). Purchaser shall provide to Owner LLC a copy of each Tenant Notice Letter promptly after delivery of same, and proof of delivery of same promptly after such proof is available. This Section 10.7 shall survive Closing.
Section 10.8General Conditions Precedent to Purchaser’s Obligations Regarding the Closing. In addition to the conditions to Purchaser’s obligations set forth above in this Article X, the obligation of Purchaser to Close the sale/purchase transaction hereunder shall be conditioned upon the satisfaction of the following conditions, any of which may be waived by written notice from Purchaser to Sellers, and all of which shall be deemed waived upon Closing:
    -32-

(a)Sellers shall have performed in all material respects each of the obligations of Sellers set forth in Section 10.3 as of the Closing Date;
(b)The Title Company shall be irrevocably committed to issue the Owner Title Policy as provided in Section 6.3;
(c)Purchaser shall have received the Acceptable Estoppel Certificates to the extent required under Section 7.2; and
(d)Sellers’ representations and warranties made in Sections 8.1 and 8.2 shall be true and correct in all material respects as of the Closing as if remade on the Closing Date, except for those representations and warranties that speak as of a certain date, which representations and warranties shall have been true as of such prior date, and except with respect to Authorized Qualifications and Immaterial Events.
The term “Authorized Qualifications” shall mean any qualifications to the representations and warranties made by Sellers in Section 8.1 and 8.2 to reflect (i) new Tenant Leases, Tenant Lease amendments, new Service Contracts, and/or Service Contract amendments, executed by Sellers in accordance with this Agreement, (ii) any action taken by Sellers in accordance with any Tenant Leases, Service Contracts, or Permitted Exceptions not prohibited by this Agreement, and (iii) a Tenant Lease default or a Tenant insolvency occurring after the Effective Date. The term “Immaterial Events” shall mean facts or events that do not result in a loss of value, damage, claim or expense in excess of $100,000, in the aggregate. Authorized Qualifications and Immaterial Events shall not constitute a default by Sellers or a failure of a condition precedent to Closing. If between the Effective Date and the Closing Date, facts not theretofore known to Sellers are discovered by Sellers or events occur, such facts or events are not Authorized Qualifications or Immaterial Events, and such facts or events would result in a failure of the condition set forth in Section 10.8(d) above, but which do not result from defaults by Sellers under this Agreement, such failure shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement, and following Sellers’ notice to Purchaser, Purchaser’s sole remedies in such event shall be to either: (i) waive the condition and proceed to Closing; or (ii) terminate this Agreement (by delivering written notice thereof to Sellers); provided, however, if Purchaser does not exercise its right to terminate this Agreement on or before the earlier of (1) Closing or (2) the date that is five (5) Business Days after Purchaser becomes aware of such facts or events, then Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected to waive the condition and proceed to Closing. If Purchaser terminates this Agreement pursuant to this Section 10.8, then, the Xxxxxxx Money Deposit shall be returned to Purchaser and the parties shall have no further obligations or liabilities hereunder, except for the Termination Surviving Obligations.
Section 10.9General Conditions Precedent to Sellers’ Obligations Regarding the Closing. In addition to the conditions to Sellers’ obligations set forth in this Article X, the obligations and liabilities of Sellers hereunder to close the transaction hereunder shall in all respects be conditioned upon the satisfaction of each of the following conditions, any of which may be waived by written notice from Sellers to Purchaser and all of which shall be deemed waived upon Closing:
(a)Purchaser shall have complied in all material respects with and otherwise performed in all material respects each of the covenants and obligations of Purchaser set forth in Section 10.2 of this Agreement, as of the Closing Date.
(b)The representations and warranties of Purchaser made in Section 8.3 shall be true and correct in all material respects.
    -33-

Section 10.10Failure of Condition. If any condition precedent to Sellers’ obligation to effect the Closing (as set forth in Section 10.9) is not satisfied, then Sellers shall be entitled to terminate this Agreement by notice thereof to Purchaser and Title Company. If any condition precedent to Purchaser’s obligation to effect the Closing (as set forth in Section 10.8) is not satisfied by the Closing Date, then Purchaser shall be entitled to terminate this Agreement by notice thereof to Sellers and Title Company. If this Agreement is so terminated, then Purchaser shall be entitled to receive the Xxxxxxx Money Deposit (and all accrued interest thereon) and neither Sellers nor Purchaser shall have any further obligations hereunder, except for Termination Surviving Obligations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the applicable conditions precedent are not satisfied due to a default by Sellers or Purchaser hereunder, then Article XIII shall govern and this Section 10.10 shall not apply.
Article XI
BROKERAGE
Section 11.1Brokers. Sellers agree to pay to JLL (“Broker”) a real estate commission at Closing (but only in the event of Closing in strict compliance with this Agreement) pursuant to a separate agreement. Broker acknowledges that the payment of the commission by Sellers to Broker will fully satisfy the obligations of the Sellers for the payment of a real estate commission hereunder. Other than as stated in the first sentence of this Section 11.1, Purchaser represents and warrants to Sellers, and Sellers represent and warrant to Purchaser, that no real estate brokers, agents or finders’ fees or commissions are due or will be due or arise in conjunction with the execution of this Agreement or consummation of this transaction by reason of the acts of such party, and Purchaser will indemnify, defend and hold Sellers harmless, and Sellers will indemnify, defend and hold Purchaser harmless, from any brokerage or finder’s fee or commission claimed by any person asserting his entitlement thereto at the alleged instigation of the indemnifying party for or on account of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. The provisions of this Article XI will survive any Closing or termination of this Agreement.
Article XII
CONFIDENTIALITY
Section 12.1Confidentiality. Sellers and Purchaser all expressly acknowledge and agree that, unless and until the Closing occurs, this Agreement, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and the terms, conditions, and negotiations concerning the same will be held in confidence by Purchaser and will not be disclosed by Purchaser except to its respective legal counsel, accountants, consultants, officers, investors, clients, partners, directors, members, shareholders and any lenders (including such lender’s legal counsel, accountants, consultants, and officers) and except and only to the extent that such disclosure may be reasonably necessary for their respective purposes or performances hereunder or as otherwise required by applicable law. Purchaser further acknowledges and agrees that, until the Closing occurs, all information obtained by Purchaser in connection with the Property will not be disclosed by Purchaser to any third persons other than those described above without the prior written consent of Sellers. Nothing contained in this Article XII will preclude or limit any party to this Agreement from disclosing or accessing any information otherwise deemed confidential under this Article XII in connection with that party’s enforcement of its rights following a disagreement hereunder, or in response to lawful process or subpoena or other valid or enforceable order of a court of competent jurisdiction or any filings with governmental authorities required by reason of the transactions provided for herein pursuant to an opinion of counsel; provided, however, in the event such disclosure is required pursuant to a subpoena or court order, the applicable party shall promptly notify the other party or parties thereof so that the other party or parties may seek a protective order, waive compliance with this Article XII, and/or take any other action mutually agreed upon by the parties. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, Purchaser
    -34-

acknowledges and agrees that Sellers, and entities which directly or indirectly own the equity interests in Sellers, may disclose in press releases, SEC and other filings and governmental authorities, financial statements and/or other communications such information regarding the transactions contemplated hereby and any such information relating to the sale of the Property as may be necessary or advisable under federal or state securities law, rules or regulations (including U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules and regulations, “generally accepted accounting principles” or other accounting rules or procedures or in accordance with Sellers and such direct or indirect owners’ prior custom, practice or procedure. One or more of such owners will be required to publicly disclose the possible transactions contemplated hereby and file this Agreement with the SEC promptly after the execution of the same by the parties or as sooner required by law. The provisions of this Article XII will survive any termination of this Agreement.
Article XIII
REMEDIES
Section 13.1Default by Sellers.
If Closing of the purchase and sale transaction provided for herein does not occur as herein provided by reason of any default of Sellers, Purchaser may, as Purchaser’s sole and exclusive remedies, elect by written notice to Sellers within five (5) days following the scheduled Closing Date, to either (a) terminate this Agreement, in which event Purchaser will receive from the Title Company the Xxxxxxx Money Deposit, whereupon Sellers and Purchaser will have no further rights or obligations under this Agreement, except with respect to the Termination Surviving Obligations, or (b) pursue specific performance of this Agreement, so long as any action or proceeding commenced by Purchaser against Sellers shall be filed and served within ninety (90) days of the scheduled Closing Date, and, in either event, Purchaser hereby waives all other remedies, including without limitation, any claim against Sellers for damages of any type or kind including, without limitation, consequential or punitive damages. Unless otherwise expressly required pursuant to this Agreement, in no event shall Sellers be obligated to undertake any of the following (A) change the condition of the Property or restore the same after any fire or casualty; (B) expend money or post a bond to remove or insure over anything other than a Must-Cure Matter or to correct any matter shown on a survey of the Property; (C) secure any permit, approval, or consent with respect to the Property or Sellers’ conveyance thereof; or (D) expend any money to repair, improve or alter the Improvements or any portion thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section 13.1 will limit Purchaser’s remedies at law, in equity or as herein provided in the event of a breach by Sellers of any of the Closing Surviving Obligations after Closing or the Termination Surviving Obligations after termination, subject to the terms and provisions of this Agreement.
Section 13.2DEFAULT BY PURCHASER. IN THE EVENT THE CLOSING AND THE CONSUMMATION OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREIN DO NOT OCCUR AS PROVIDED HEREIN (TIME BEING OF THE ESSENCE) BY REASON OF ANY DEFAULT OF PURCHASER, PURCHASER AND SELLERS AGREE IT WOULD BE IMPRACTICAL AND EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO FIX THE DAMAGES WHICH SELLERS MAY SUFFER. PURCHASER AND SELLERS HEREBY AGREE THAT (i) AN AMOUNT EQUAL TO THE XXXXXXX MONEY DEPOSIT, TOGETHER WITH ALL INTEREST ACCRUED THEREON, IS A REASONABLE ESTIMATE OF THE TOTAL NET DETRIMENT SELLERS WOULD SUFFER IN THE EVENT PURCHASER DEFAULTS AND FAILS TO COMPLETE THE PURCHASE OF THE PROPERTY, AND (ii) SUCH AMOUNT SHALL BE PAID TO SELLERS AND WILL BE THE FULL, AGREED AND LIQUIDATED DAMAGES FOR PURCHASER’S DEFAULT AND FAILURE TO COMPLETE THE PURCHASE OF THE PROPERTY, AND WILL BE SELLERS’ SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY (ALONG WITH SELLERS’ CANCELLATION OF THIS
    -35-

AGREEMENT IN ACCORDANCE WITH MINNESOTA LAW)(WHETHER AT LAW OR IN EQUITY) FOR ANY DEFAULT OF PURCHASER RESULTING IN THE FAILURE OF CONSUMMATION OF THE CLOSING, WHEREUPON THIS AGREEMENT WILL TERMINATE AND SELLERS AND PURCHASER WILL HAVE NO FURTHER RIGHTS OR OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER, EXCEPT WITH RESPECT TO THE TERMINATION SURVIVING OBLIGATIONS. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, NOTHING CONTAINED IN THIS SECTION 13.2 HEREIN WILL LIMIT SELLERS’ REMEDIES AT LAW, IN EQUITY OR AS HEREIN PROVIDED IN THE EVENT OF A BREACH BY PURCHASER OF ANY OF THE CLOSING SURVIVING OBLIGATIONS OR THE TERMINATION SURVIVING OBLIGATIONS.
Section 13.3Consequential and Punitive Damages. Sellers waive any right to xxx Purchaser, and Purchaser waives any right to xxx Xxxxxxx, for any consequential or punitive damages for matters arising under this Agreement (it being understood that each of Owner LLC, Garage LLC and Purchaser has waived the right to obtain incidental, special, exemplary or consequential damages in connection with any default of Purchaser or Sellers respectively, or otherwise, which, in the case of Purchaser, include, without limitation, loss of profits or inability to secure lenders, investors or buyers).

Article XV
ASSIGNMENT AND BINDING EFFECT
Section 15.1Assignment; Binding Effect. Purchaser will not have the right to assign this Agreement without the prior written consent of Sellers, to be given or withheld in Sellers’ sole and absolute discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser may assign its rights under this Agreement to a wholly-owned and controlled Affiliate of such assigning party without the consent of the non-assigning party, provided that any such assignment does not relieve the assigning party of its obligations hereunder. This Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Sellers and Purchaser and their respective successors and permitted assigns, and no other party will be conferred any rights by virtue of this Agreement or be entitled to enforce any of the provisions hereof. Whenever a reference is made in this Agreement to Sellers or Purchaser, such reference will include the successors and permitted assigns of such party under this Agreement.
Article XVI
PROCEDURE FOR INDEMNIFICATION AND LIMITED SURVIVAL OF REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS
Section 16.1Survival of Representations, Warranties and Covenants.
(a)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the representations, warranties and covenants of Sellers set forth in this Agreement and Sellers’ liability under any provision of this Agreement, any Seller Certificate, and under any Closing Document (as defined below), will survive the Closing until June 30, 2022. Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence or any other provision herein to the contrary, if Owner LLC obtains an estoppel certificate meeting the requirements of Section 7.2(a) hereof from a Tenant before or after Closing, then all representations and warranties made by Owner LLC that are covered in such estoppel certificate shall be null and void, and Purchaser shall accept such estoppel certificate in its place. Purchaser shall not have any right to bring any action against Sellers as a result of (i) any untruth, inaccuracy or breach of such representations and warranties under this Agreement, any Seller Certificate, or any Closing Document, or (ii) the failure of Sellers to perform their obligations under any other provision of this Agreement, any Seller Certificate, or under any other document or agreement executed in connection with this Agreement, including all documents and agreements executed at Closing (“Closing Documents”), unless and until the aggregate amount of all liability and losses arising out of all
    -37-

such untruths, inaccuracies, breaches and failures exceeds $100,000, and then only to the extent of such excess. In addition, in no event will Sellers’ liability for all such untruths, inaccuracies, breaches, and/or failures under Sections 8.1 and 8.2, any other provision of this Agreement, any Seller Certificate, or under any Closing Documents (including Sellers’ liability for attorneys’ fees and costs in connection with such untruths, inaccuracies, breaches and/or failures) exceed, in the aggregate, one and one-half percent (1.5%) of the Purchase Price.
(b)Sellers shall have no liability with respect to any of Sellers’ representations, warranties and covenants herein if, prior to the Closing, Purchaser has actual knowledge (which shall mean the actual knowledge of the individual who has executed this Agreement on behalf of Purchaser) of any breach of a representation, warranty or covenant of Sellers herein, or Purchaser obtains knowledge (from whatever source, including, without limitation, any tenant estoppel certificates, as a result of Purchaser’s review of the Due Diligence Items and its due diligence tests, investigations and inspections of the Property, or written disclosure by Sellers or Sellers’ agents and employees) that contradicts any of Sellers’ representations, warranties or covenants herein, and Purchaser nevertheless consummates the transaction contemplated by this Agreement.
(c)The Closing Surviving Obligations will survive Closing without limitation unless a specified period is otherwise provided in this Agreement. All other representations, warranties, covenants and agreements made or undertaken by Sellers under this Agreement, unless otherwise specifically provided herein, will not survive the Closing Date but will be merged into the Closing Documents delivered at the Closing. The Termination Surviving Obligations shall survive termination of this Agreement without limitation unless a specified period is otherwise provided in this Agreement. The limitations on Sellers’ liability contained in this Article XVI are in addition to, and not limitation of, any limitation on liability provided elsewhere in this Agreement or by law or any other contract, agreement or instrument.
Article XVII
MISCELLANEOUS
Section 17.1Waivers; Amendments. No waiver of any breach of any covenant or provisions contained herein will be deemed a waiver of any preceding or succeeding breach thereof, or of any other covenant or provision contained herein. No extension of time for performance of any obligation or act will be deemed an extension of the time for performance of any other obligation or act. This Agreement may not be amended except in a writing signed by both Sellers and Purchaser.
Section 17.2Recovery of Certain Fees. In the event a party hereto files any action or suit against another party hereto by reason of any breach of any of the covenants, agreements or provisions contained in this Agreement, then in that event the prevailing party will be entitled to have and recover of and from the other party all attorneys’ fees and costs resulting therefrom, subject, however, in the case of Sellers, to the limitations set forth in Section 16.1 above. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “attorneys’ fees” or “attorneys’ fees and costs” shall mean all court costs and the fees and expenses of counsel to the parties hereto, which may include printing, photostatting, duplicating and other expenses, air freight charges, and fees billed for law clerks, paralegals and other persons not admitted to the bar but performing services under the supervision of an attorney, and the costs and fees incurred in connection with the enforcement or collection of any judgment obtained in any such proceeding. The provisions of this Section 17.2 shall survive the entry of any judgment, and shall not merge, or be deemed to have merged, into any judgment.
Section 17.4Time of Essence. Sellers and Purchaser hereby acknowledge and agree that time is strictly of the essence with respect to each and every term, condition, obligation and
    -38-

provision hereof. Without limiting the foregoing, Purchaser acknowledges that Purchaser may only extend the Closing Date upon receipt of written approval by the Sellers, which approval will not be unreasonably denied.
Section 17.4Construction. Headings at the beginning of each article and section are solely for the convenience of the parties and are not a part of this Agreement. Whenever required by the context of this Agreement, the singular will include the plural and the masculine will include the feminine and vice versa. This Agreement will not be construed as if it had been prepared by one of the parties, but rather as if both parties had prepared the same. All exhibits and schedules referred to in this Agreement are attached and incorporated by this reference, and any capitalized term used in any exhibit or schedule which is not defined in such exhibit or schedule will have the meaning attributable to such term in the body of this Agreement. In the event the date on which any party is required to take any action under the terms of this Agreement is not a Business Day, the action will be taken on the next succeeding Business Day.
Section 17.5Counterparts; Electronic Signatures Binding. To facilitate execution of this Agreement, this Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which, when assembled to include an original, faxed or electronic mail (in .PDF or similar file) signature for each party contemplated to sign this Agreement, will constitute a complete and fully executed agreement. All such fully executed original, faxed or electronic mail (in .PDF or similar file) counterparts will collectively constitute a single agreement, and such signatures shall be legally binding upon the party sending the signature by such electronic means immediately upon being sent by such party.
Section 17.6Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal, or incapable of being enforced by any rule of law or public policy, all of the other conditions and provisions of this Agreement will nevertheless remain in full force and effect, so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any adverse manner to either party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal, or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto will negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to reflect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner to the end that the transactions contemplated hereby are fulfilled to the extent possible.
Section 17.7Entire Agreement. This Agreement is the final expression of, and contains the entire agreement between, the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersedes all prior understandings (oral or written) with respect thereto. This Agreement may not be modified, changed, supplemented or terminated, nor may any obligations hereunder be waived, except by written instrument, signed by the party to be charged or by its agent duly authorized in writing, or as otherwise expressly permitted herein.

THE PARTIES AGREE THAT ANY ACTION IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE BROUGHT AND MAINTAINED IN THE STATE OR FEDERAL COURTS THAT ARE SEATED IN THE CITY AND COUNTY IN WHICH THE REAL PROPERTY IS LOCATED, AND THE PARTIES HEREBY CONSENT AND AGREE TO THE JURISDICTION OF SUCH COURTS.

Section 17.12Exhibits. Exhibits A through J, inclusive, are incorporated herein by reference.
Section 17.13No Partnership. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, this Agreement shall not be deemed or construed to make the parties hereto partners or joint venturers, it being the intention of the parties to merely create the relationship of Sellers and Purchaser with respect to the Property to be conveyed as contemplated hereby.
