Escrow Agent shall invest the Xxxxxxx Money in government insured interest-bearing accounts satisfactory to Sellers and Buyer, shall not commingle the Xxxxxxx Money, and shall promptly provide Buyer and Sellers with confirmation of the investments made. Such account shall have no penalty for early withdrawal. Any interest actually earned on the Xxxxxxx Money during the period the same is held by the Escrow Agent shall be added to and become a part of the Xxxxxxx Money and shall accrue to the benefit of the party entitled to receive or apply the Xxxxxxx Money. The Xxxxxxx Money and all interest accrued thereon shall be non-refundable to Buyer for any reason whatsoever, except and only if:
(i) this Agreement is terminated by Buyer prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period pursuant to Sections 4.3 or 5.3, in which case the Non-Refundable Xxxxxxx Money shall be paid to Sellers and the balance of the Xxxxxxx Money shall be returned to Buyer as provided in Section 3.3;
(ii) this Agreement is terminated by Buyer pursuant to Sections 5.5, 5.6, 6.2, 6.3, or 7.2, in which case the Non-Refundable Xxxxxxx Money shall be paid to Sellers and the balance of the Xxxxxxx Money shall be returned to Buyer as provided in Section 3.3;

(iv) this Agreement is terminated by Buyer pursuant to Section 7.2 as a result of Seller’s failure to deliver the Conforming Tenant Estoppel (hereinafter defined), in which case the entire Xxxxxxx Money shall be returned to and retained by Buyer as provided in Section 3.3;
(v) this Agreement is terminated by Sellers or Buyer (other than by Buyer or Sellers pursuant to the Sections described in clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) of this Section 3.1 or by Sellers pursuant to Section 10.1), in which case the Non-Refundable Xxxxxxx Money shall be paid to Sellers and the balance of the Xxxxxxx Money shall be returned to Buyer as provided in Section 3.3.

3.3 Disposition of Xxxxxxx Money. The Xxxxxxx Money (to the extent deposited by Buyer as provided hereinabove), including any accrued interest thereon, shall be applied as a credit to the Purchase Price at Closing. If Buyer elects to terminate this Agreement prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period pursuant to Sections 4.3 or 5.3, then within one (1) business day after Escrow Agent’s and Sellers’ receipt of Buyer’s Due Diligence Termination Notice, Escrow Agent shall deliver the Non-Refundable Xxxxxxx Money to Sellers and the balance of the Xxxxxxx Money shall be returned to Buyer. If this Agreement is terminated by either Sellers or Buyer pursuant to any provisions of this Agreement (other than by Buyer pursuant to Sections 4.3 or 5.3), then Escrow Agent shall deliver the Xxxxxxx Money then held by Escrow Agent to the party hereto entitled to the same pursuant to such other provisions on or before the fifth (5th) business day after receipt by Escrow Agent and the non-terminating party of written notice of such termination from the terminating party, unless the other party hereto notifies Escrow Agent that it disputes the right of the other party to receive the Xxxxxxx Money. In the event of any such dispute, Escrow Agent may interplead the Xxxxxxx Money into a court of competent jurisdiction in the county in which the Real Property is located. All attorneys’ fees and costs and Escrow Agent’s costs and expenses incurred in connection with such interpleader shall be assessed against the party that is not awarded the Xxxxxxx Money, or if the Xxxxxxx Money is distributed in part to both parties, then in the inverse proportion of such distribution.

If any such release is not so obtained, the same shall not be a failure of a condition in favor of Sellers or Buyer; however the applicable Assignment(s) shall be modified by adding the following indemnification provision in favor of the applicable Seller (as assignor thereunder): “Assignee hereby agrees to indemnify, defend protect and hold Assignor harmless from and against any and all claims, losses, liabilities, demands and expenses of whatever nature, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, suffered or incurred by Assignor by reason of any breach by Assignee of any of its obligations under the Contracts listed as Item Nos. and _ on Exhibit “1” attached hereto [identify the specific Service Contract for which a release of Sellers was not obtained] arising from and after the date hereof” If any such written release is obtained and delivered to Sellers after Closing, such indemnification shall terminate as to the Service Contract for which such release is so obtained.

In permitting Buyer to review the Property Documents or any other information, 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. The terms of this Section 4.6 shall terminate as of Closing.
4.7 No Representations or Warranties by Sellers. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that: (i) except as expressly set forth in this Agreement and in the Closing documents and instruments executed and delivered by a Seller at the Closing (collectively, the “Transaction Documents”), Sellers have not made nor make any representation or warranty regarding the truth, accuracy or completeness of the Property Documents or the sources thereof; (ii) some if not all of the Property Documents were prepared by third parties other than Sellers; and (iii) Sellers have not undertaken any independent investigation as to the truth, accuracy or completeness of the Property Documents and are providing the Property Documents or making the same available for Buyer’s review solely as an accommodation to Buyer.

Buyer’s obligations under this Section 4.9 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and shall survive the Closing.
ARTICLE 5
TITLE AND SURVEY
5.1 Title Commitment. Prior to the Effective Date, Sellers delivered to Buyer (or made available to Buyer electronically via website drop box or other account), and Buyer received: (i) a TLTA Form T-7 title commitment (the “Commitment”) issued by the Title Company for the issuance of the Title Policy (as defined below); and (ii) copies of all documents of record referred to in the Commitment as exceptions to title (“Title Documents”).
5.2 Survey. Prior to the Effective Date, Sellers delivered to Buyer (or made available to Buyer electronically via website drop box or other account), and Buyer received, the existing Survey of the Real Property listed on Exhibit B (the “Existing Survey”). Sellers are currently updating the Existing Survey and will deliver such update to Buyer promptly after Sellers’ receipt thereof, but no later than November 10, 2014. Buyer may elect, at its expense, to modify or re-certify the Existing Survey (the Existing Survey, as may be so modified or re-certified, the “Survey”) as necessary in order for the Title Company to delete the survey exception from the Title Policy and/or issue Extended Coverage title insurance, or to otherwise satisfy Buyer’s objectives; however, the issuance and/or receipt of such modified or re-certified Survey shall not be a condition precedent to, or delay, the Closing.
-8-
5.3 Title Review. During the Title and Survey Review Period, Buyer shall review title to the Real Property as disclosed by the Commitment, the Title Documents and the Survey. All matters shown in the Commitment, the Title Documents and the Survey which are not objected to by Buyer by delivery of written notice thereof (“Buyer’s Title Objection Notice”) to Sellers on or before the end of the Title and Survey Review Period shall be conclusively deemed to be accepted by Buyer. If Buyer timely delivers to Sellers Buyer’s Title Objection Notice prior to the end of the Title and Survey Review Period specifying Buyer’s objection to any title exception pertaining to the Real Property shown in the Commitment, the Title Documents and the Survey (each a “Title Objection” and collectively the “Title Objections”), Sellers may, at their option, exercisable in their sole discretion, eliminate or cure (by title endorsement from the Title Company or otherwise) some or all of such Title Objections; provided, however, if Sellers are able and willing to eliminate or cure some or all of such Title Objections, Sellers shall deliver to Buyer, within three (3) business days after the end of the Title and Survey Review Period (“Sellers’ Notice Period”) written notice (“Sellers’ Title Notice”) of those Title Objections Sellers intend to eliminate or cure, in which case the elimination or curing by Sellers of the Title Objections specified by Sellers for cure or elimination in Sellers’ Title Notice shall constitute an additional covenant of Sellers and be a condition to Buyer’s obligation to consummate the transaction contemplated hereunder. If Sellers do not deliver Sellers’ Title Notice to Buyer within Sellers’ Notice Period, Buyer is deemed to be notified that Sellers are unable or unwilling to eliminate or cure the Title Objections. If Sellers (i) do not timely deliver Sellers’ Title Notice or (ii) notify or are deemed to have notified Buyer that Sellers are unable or unwilling to cure any particular Title Objection, Buyer shall be deemed to have waived those Title Objections which Sellers are unable or unwilling to eliminate or cure unless on or before the end of the Inspection Period, Buyer delivers to Sellers and Escrow Agent Buyer’s Due Diligence Termination Notice terminating this Agreement pursuant to Section 4.3. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 5.3 to the contrary: (A) if Buyer’s termination right pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 5.3 has not expired prior thereto, it shall expire upon expiration of the Inspection Period; and (B) subject to Buyer’s full performance under this Agreement, Sellers do agree to deliver title to the Real Property at Closing free and clear of (1) delinquent real property taxes, (2) mechanics’ liens and deeds of trust actually recorded against the Real Property that were created by, under or through Sellers, and (3) all matters which Sellers have agreed to eliminate or cure in Sellers’ Title Notice; provided, however, that Sellers’ obligation to deliver title to the Real Property at Closing free and clear of mechanics’ liens recorded against the Real Property that were created by, under or through Sellers and which mechanics’ liens Sellers are actively contesting in good faith, may be satisfied by Sellers’ bonding around such mechanics’ liens or taking such other actions or delivering such instruments as will permit the Title Company to issue the Title Policy without exception for such mechanics’ liens.
5.4 Permitted Exceptions. The term “Permitted Exceptions” shall mean, collectively: (i) the specific exceptions listed in the Commitment that the Title Company has not agreed to remove from the Commitment as of the end of the Inspection Period and that Sellers are not required to eliminate or cure as provided in Section 5.3; (ii) matters created by, through or under Buyer; (iii) items shown on the Survey which have not been removed as of the end of the Inspection Period; (iv) real estate taxes not yet due and payable; and (v) the Leases.
5.5 Delivery of Title Policy at Closing. Buyer’s obligation to purchase the Property shall be subject to and conditioned upon the Title Company’s willingness to issue, upon the sole condition of the payment of its regularly scheduled premium, an TLTA Standard Coverage owner’s policy of title insurance (the “Title Policy”), insuring Buyer in the amount of the Purchase Price that fee simple title to the Real Property is vested in Buyer as of the Closing, subject only to the standard preprinted conditions and exceptions and the Permitted Exceptions. Buyer shall have the right to request that the Title Company issue TLTA Extended Coverage title insurance as part of the Title Policy together with such endorsements as Buyer may request as long as the issuance of such TLTA Extended Coverage with endorsements is not a condition precedent to the Closing (provided, however, the issuance of such TLTA Extended Coverage and/or endorsements shall be a condition precedent to Buyer’s obligation to purchase the Property if and only if Buyer obtained and delivered to Sellers prior to the end of the Inspection Period a pro forma policy and irrevocable commitment to issue such policy from the Title Company exhibiting the agreed-upon endorsements and survey matters in accordance with this Agreement, without any obligation on Sellers’ part to execute any affidavits, certificates or other documents or incur any expense or liability as a condition to issuance of such endorsements, other than a standard Owner’s affidavit reasonably approved by Sellers). Buyer shall pay for all costs of such TLTA Extended Coverage in excess of TLTA Standard Coverage, and the costs of all such endorsements requested by Buyer (other than the cost of those endorsements to effect the cure or elimination of any Title Objection to be cured or eliminated by Sellers as designated in Sellers’ Title Notice, which cost shall be paid for by Sellers). In the event of any failure of such condition in this Section 5.5, Buyer shall have the right to terminate this Agreement, in which case the Non-Refundable Xxxxxxx Money shall be paid to Sellers, the balance of the Xxxxxxx Money shall be returned to Buyer as provided in Section 3.3 and the parties hereto shall have no further rights or obligations, other than those that by their terms survive the termination of this Agreement.

5.6 Additional Title Defects. In the event any update to the Commitment or the Survey obtained after the Title and Survey Review Period, but prior to the Closing Date, discloses additional title or survey defects not disclosed by the original or any previous Commitment or Survey and not otherwise known by Buyer prior to such update to the Commitment or the Survey (the “Additional Title Defects”), then Buyer shall have the right to deliver an additional Buyer’s Title Objection Notice with respect to such Additional Title Defects only within five (5) days after receipt of the updated Commitment or Survey disclosing such Additional Title Defects (an “Additional Title Objection Notice”). If Buyer fails to deliver an Additional Title Objection Notice within such 5-day period, then such Additional Title Defects shall be deemed to be Permitted Exceptions. If Buyer delivers an Additional Title Objection Notice within such 5-day period, then Buyer and Sellers shall follow the procedure set forth in Section 5.3 above, except that Sellers’ Notice Period shall be three (3) business days after delivery of the Additional Title Objection Notice, and if Sellers (i) do not timely deliver Sellers’ Title Notice or (ii) notify or are deemed to have notified Buyer that Sellers are unable or unwilling to cure any particular Title Objection, then Buyer shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by written notice to Sellers within three (3) business days after the expiration of Sellers’ Notice Period, and if Buyer fails to affirmatively terminate this Agreement within such period then the Additional Title Defects shall be deemed to be Permitted Exceptions. If Buyer delivers an Additional Title Objection Notice, then the Closing Date shall not occur until the date that is the later of (a) the date on which the Closing Date is otherwise scheduled to occur, or (b) two (2) business days after all Additional Title Defects are waived or deemed to be waived by Buyer in accordance with this Section 5.6.
ARTICLE 6
OPERATIONS AND RISK OF LOSS
6.1 Ongoing Operations. From the Effective Date through Closing:
6.1.1 Operations. Sellers will perform their material obligations under the Leases and Service Contracts and will maintain in effect all of its existing insurance policies pertaining to the Property. Without Buyer’s prior written approval, which may be withheld in Buyer’s sole and absolute discretion, Sellers shall not voluntarily (i) transfer any of Sellers’ right, title or interest in or to the Property (ii) cause or permit any deed of trust to be placed of record against the Property, or (iii) cause any other lien or encumbrance to be placed of record against the Property. Sellers will not deliberately cause any action to be taken which would directly (i.e., without subsequent unforeseen action by any third party) cause any of the representations or warranties of Sellers contained herein to be materially untrue as of the Closing Date; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, but without limiting Buyer’s rights under Sections 7.2 and 10.2, Sellers shall have no affirmative obligation to cure any inaccuracy in any of the representations and warranties of Sellers contained herein.
6.1.2 New Contracts. Sellers will not enter into any contract that will be an obligation affecting the Property or Buyer subsequent to the Closing (except as otherwise provided in Section 6.1.3 below), without first: (i) providing Buyer with notice and a copy of such new contract; and (ii) obtaining Buyer’s prior approval thereof, if and as required under this Section 6.1.2. Buyer’s approval of such new contract shall not be unreasonably withheld or conditioned, and Buyer shall give Sellers written notice of Buyer’s approval or reasonable disapproval thereof within two (2) business days after Buyer’s receipt of such notice and copy of such new contract (if Buyer does not notify Sellers of Buyer’s approval or reasonable disapproval of such new contract within such time period, then Buyer will be deemed to have approved such new contract); provided, however, if such new contract is terminable without penalty on no more than 30 days’ notice, then Buyer’s approval of such new contract shall not be required. Any such new contract entered into by Sellers pursuant to this Section 6.1.2 which will be an obligation affecting the Property or Buyer subsequent to the Closing shall be part of the Service Contracts to be assumed by Buyer in the Assignments.
-10-
6.1.3 Leasing. Sellers will not, prior to the Closing Date, terminate a Lease, enter into any amendment of a Lease, or enter into any new lease or license agreement pertaining to the Property (each, a “Lease Action”) without first: (i) providing Buyer with a copy of the proposed amendment, lease, licensing agreement or the terms of the termination, as applicable, and any agreements giving rise to a leasing commission with respect thereto (each, a “Lease Action Commission Agreement”); and (ii) obtaining Buyer’s prior approval of such Lease Action. Buyer agrees to give Sellers written notice of approval or disapproval of a proposed Lease Action within two (2) business days after Buyer’s receipt of a copy of the proposed new lease or licensing agreement, Lease amendment or terms of Lease termination, as applicable. If Buyer does not respond to Sellers’ request for Buyer’s approval within such time period, then Buyer will be deemed to have approved the proposed Lease Action. With respect to Sellers’ request for approval of any proposed Lease Action: (A) if such request is delivered by Sellers to Buyer before the date which is three (3) business days prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period, Buyer’s consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or conditioned; and (B) if such request is delivered by Sellers to Buyer after the date which is three (3) business days prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period, then Buyer may withhold its consent at its sole discretion. All new amendments to a Lease entered into by Sellers pursuant to this Section 6.1.3 shall be part of such Lease and shall be assumed by Buyer upon Closing in the applicable Assignment(s) (as defined below). All new leases and licensing agreement entered into by Sellers pursuant to this Section 6.1.3 shall be a Lease under this Agreement and shall be assumed by Buyer upon Closing in the applicable Assignment(s).
6.2 Damage. If prior to Closing the Real Property is damaged by fire or other casualty, Sellers shall estimate the cost to repair and the time required to complete repairs (both of which shall be supported by independent third party reports) and will provide Buyer written notice of Sellers’ estimation (the “Casualty Notice”) as soon as reasonably possible after the occurrence of the casualty.
6.2.1 Material. In the event of any Material Damage to or destruction of the Real Property or any portion thereof prior to Closing (other than any Material Damage or destruction caused by Buyer or its employees, agents advisors or invitees), Buyer may, at its option, terminate this Agreement by delivering a written termination notice to Sellers within fifteen (15) days after the date Sellers deliver the Casualty Notice to Buyer (and if necessary, the Closing Date shall be extended to give Buyer the full fifteen (15)-day period to make such election). In the event of any damage or destruction of the Real Property or any portion thereof prior to the Closing Date that is not covered by insurance (other than any deductibles), whether or not such damage or destruction is Material Damage, Sellers may, at their option, elect to terminate this Agreement by delivering a written termination notice to Buyer (the “Termination Notice”) within fifteen (15) days after the date of such damage or destruction (and if necessary, the Closing Date shall be extended to give Sellers the full fifteen (15)-day period to deliver such Termination Notice); provided, however, that within two (2) business days following Sellers’ delivery of the Termination Notice pursuant to this sentence (the “Void Period”), Buyer may unilaterally elect to void Sellers’ election to terminate this Agreement pursuant to the Termination Notice by delivering written notice of such election to Sellers (the “Void Notice”), with such Void Notice to include a complete waiver by Buyer of any rights to receive from Sellers the amount of the uninsured loss (but not any deductibles) giving rise to Sellers’ election to terminate this Agreement pursuant to such Termination Notice (and if necessary, the Closing Date shall be extended to give Buyer the full Void Period to deliver such Void Notice). In the event Sellers properly and timely deliver a Termination Notice and thereafter Buyer fails timely to deliver the Void Notice, then this Agreement shall terminate effective as of the expiration of the Void Period. Upon any such termination pursuant to either of the two preceding sentences, the Xxxxxxx Money shall be returned to the applicable party as provided in Section 3.1 and the parties hereto shall have no further rights or obligations hereunder, other than those that by their terms survive the termination of this Agreement. If Buyer and Sellers do not terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 6.2.1, as applicable, then the parties shall proceed under this Agreement and close on schedule (subject to extension of Closing as provided hereinabove), and as of Closing Sellers shall assign to Buyer, without representation or warranty by or recourse against Sellers, all of Sellers’ assignable rights in and to any resulting insurance proceeds (including any rent loss insurance applicable to any period on and after the Closing Date) due Sellers as a result of such damage or destruction and Buyer shall assume full responsibility for all needed repairs, and Buyer shall receive a credit at Closing for any uninsured amount (except to the extent waived pursuant to a Void Notice) and any deductible amount under such insurance policies to the extent not previously paid by Sellers (but the amount of such credit plus insurance proceeds shall not exceed the Purchase Price). For the purposes of this Agreement, “Material Damage” and “Materially Damaged” means damage which, in Sellers’ reasonable estimation, exceeds $3,732,165.00, or which could permit any Tenant to terminate its Lease.
-11-
6.2.2 Not Material. If the Real Property is not Materially Damaged, then neither Buyer nor Sellers shall have the right to terminate this Agreement, and Sellers shall, at their option, either (i) repair the damage before the Closing in a manner reasonably satisfactory to Buyer, or (ii) assign to Buyer, without representation or warranty by or recourse against Sellers, all of Sellers’ assignable rights in and to any resulting insurance proceeds (including any rent loss insurance applicable to any period on and after the Closing Date) due to Sellers as a result of such damage or destruction and Buyer shall assume full responsibility for all needed repairs, and Buyer shall receive a credit at Closing for any uninsured amount and any deductible amount under such insurance policies to the extent not previously paid by Sellers.
6.3 Condemnation. If proceedings in eminent domain are instituted with respect to the Real Property or any portion thereof, then Sellers shall promptly notify Buyer of such proceedings and if the value of the portion of the Real Property with respect to which such proceedings are instituted exceeds $3,732,165.00, or the proceedings could permit any Tenant to terminate its Lease, then Buyer may, at its option, by written notice to Sellers given within ten (10) days after Sellers notify Buyer of such proceedings (and if necessary the Closing Date shall be automatically extended to give Buyer the full ten (10)-day period to make such election), either: (i) terminate this Agreement, in which event the Xxxxxxx Money shall be returned to the applicable party as provided in Section 3.1 and the parties hereto shall have no further rights or obligations, other than those that by their terms survive the termination of this Agreement; or (ii) proceed under this Agreement, in which case Sellers shall, at the Closing, assign to Buyer their entire assignable right, title and interest in and to any condemnation award, and Buyer shall have the sole right after the Closing to negotiate and otherwise deal with the condemning authority in respect thereto. If Buyer does not give Sellers written notice of its election within the time required above, then Buyer shall be deemed to have elected the option in clause (ii) hereinabove. If the value of the portion of the Real Property with respect to which proceedings in eminent domain are instituted do not exceeds $3,732,165.00 and would not permit any Tenant to terminate its Lease, then neither Buyer nor Sellers shall have the right to terminate this Agreement, and Sellers shall, at the Closing, assign to Buyer their entire assignable right, title and interest in and to any condemnation award, and Buyer shall have the sole right after the Closing to negotiate and otherwise deal with the condemning authority in respect thereto.
6.4 No Further Action Letter. CRP Oakmont Grand Prairie, L.L.C. (the “Grand Prairie Seller”) hereby covenants that from and after the Effective Date until the Closing, it shall diligently pursue the issuance by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (“TCEQ”) of a final Certificate of Completion (the “Final Certificate”) for the pending application under the TCEQ Voluntary Cleanup Program No. 2640 for the 2.3 acre tract of the Land owned by the Grand Prairie Seller (the “Vacant Parcel”); provided, however, that the failure of the Grand Prairie Seller to obtain such Final Certificate shall not be a condition precedent to Buyer’s obligation to consummate the Closing in accordance herewith. In the event the Final Certificate is not issued prior to Closing, Grand Prairie Seller shall, at its sole cost and expense and at all times from and after Closing until December 31, 2015, (i) use commercially reasonable efforts to pursue, the issuance of the Final Certificate by TCEQ, and (ii) upon issuance of the Final Certificate, if applicable, close and abandon any monitoring xxxxx at the Vacant Parcel in accordance with applicable law. Buyer hereby covenants to reasonably cooperate with Grand Prairie Seller in connection with Grand Prairie Seller’s performance of its obligations under this Section 6.4, including, without limitation, permitting Seller reasonable access to the Vacant Parcel subject to a reasonable written access agreement entered into by Grand Prairie Seller and Buyer prior to any such access. Grand Prairie Seller hereby acknowledges and agrees that any testing and inspections shall be subject to Buyer’s reasonable prior approval and in connection with the issuance of the Final Certificate, no restrictions, controls or other requirements may be imposed on or with respect to the Vacant Parcel, other than a Permanent Institutional Control substantially similar to, and no more restrictive than, the Permanent Institutional Control imposed on July 19, 2007 with respect to the remainder of the Land owned by Grand Prairie Seller. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Buyer acknowledges and agrees that Sellers shall have no liability whatsoever arising from or in connection with any failure to obtain the Final Certificate on or prior to December 31, 2015, so long as the Grand Prairie Seller uses commercially reasonable efforts to do so as set forth in this Section 6.4. The terms and provisions of this Section 6.4 shall survive Closing.
-12-
6.5 Estoppels. No later than five (5) days after the Effective Date (or, in the case of any Lease executed after the Effective Date but before the Closing Date, after the execution of such Lease), Sellers shall request estoppel certificates from each Tenant (and any guarantor of a Tenant’s obligations under a Lease) in the form attached hereto as Exhibit G or such form as provided in the applicable Lease (each a “Tenant Estoppel Certificate”). Sellers shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain and deliver the Tenant Estoppel Certificates to Buyer on or before three (3) days prior to Closing. Sellers shall provide Buyer with an opportunity to review each Tenant Estoppel Certificate prior to submitting same to each Tenant; provided, however, that the five (5)-day period described in the first sentence of this Section 6.5 shall be automatically extended with respect to each Tenant Estoppel Certificate by a period of time equal to the number of days that Buyer reviews such Tenant Estoppel Certificate before approving the same for delivery to the applicable Tenant.

So long as a party is not in default hereunder, if any condition to such party’s obligation to proceed with the Closing hereunder has not been satisfied or waived by such party as of the Closing Date (or such earlier date as is provided herein), then such non-defaulting party may elect, in its sole discretion, either to: (i) terminate this Agreement by delivering written notice to the other party on or before the Closing Date; or (ii) close notwithstanding the non-satisfaction of such condition (in which case such party shall be deemed to have waived such non-satisfied condition, and there shall be no liability on the part of the other party hereto for any inaccuracies of representations and warranties of which the party electing to close had knowledge at the Closing).

(a) Tenant Receivables and other income and payments received from a Tenant under a Lease after Closing in the following order of priority: (i) first, to Tenant Receivables first coming due after Closing and applicable to the period of time after Closing, which amount shall be retained by Buyer; (ii) second, to payment of the current Tenant Receivables then due for the month in which the Closing occurs, which amount shall be apportioned between Buyer and Sellers as of the Closing as set forth in Section 8.1 (with Sellers’ portion thereof to be delivered to Seller); (iii) third, to payment of Tenant Receivables first coming due after Closing but applicable to the period of time before Closing (“Unbilled Tenant Receivables”), which amount shall be delivered to Sellers; and (iv) thereafter, to delinquent Tenant Receivables which were due and payable as of Closing but not collected by Sellers as of Closing (collectively, “Uncollected Delinquent Tenant Receivables”), which amount shall be delivered to Sellers. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Sellers shall have the right to pursue the collection of Uncollected Delinquent Tenant Receivables for a period of one (1) year after Closing without prejudice to Sellers’ rights or Buyer’s obligations hereunder; provided, however, Sellers shall have no right to cause a Tenant to be evicted or to exercise any other “landlord” or “licensor” remedy (as set forth in any Lease) against a Tenant other than to xxx for collection, and provided further that Sellers may not commence any legal action against a Tenant until sixty (60) days after Closing and then only after fifteen (15) days’ prior notice to Buyer. Any sums received by Buyer to which Sellers are entitled shall be held in trust for Sellers on account of such past due rents and license fees payable to Sellers, and Buyer shall remit to Sellers any such sums received by Buyer to which Sellers are entitled within ten (10) business days after receipt thereof. Sellers expressly agrees that if Sellers receive any amounts after the Closing which are attributable, in whole or in part, to any period after the Closing, Sellers shall remit to Buyer that portion of the monies so received by Sellers to which Buyer is entitled (in accordance with this Section 8.1.2) within ten (10) business days after receipt thereof. With respect to Unbilled Tenant Receivables, Buyer covenants and agrees to (A) xxxx the same when billable and (B) cooperate with Sellers to determine the correct amount of taxes and/or insurance due.
(b) The provisions of this Section 8.1.2 shall survive the Closing.

Sellers shall be solely responsible for all leasing commissions, tenant improvement credits or allowances or other leasing costs associated with any Lease in place as of the Effective Date or not disclosed in a Lease or commission agreement delivered or made available on an electronic data site or otherwise as part of the Property Documents (an “Undisclosed Commission”); provided, however, Buyer shall be solely responsible for any leasing commissions, tenant improvement credits or allowances or other leasing costs (expressly excluding Undisclosed Commissions) relating to a future amendment, expansion or renewal of a Lease or associated with any Lease Action (provided, in the case of leasing commissions, the same are due pursuant to any Lease Action Commission Agreement) (the “Leasing Costs”), and such Leasing Costs shall not be prorated. The provisions of this Section 8.1.3 shall survive the Closing.
8.2 Closing Costs. Closing costs shall be allocated between Sellers and Buyer in accordance with Section 1.2.
8.3 Final Adjustment After Closing. If final bills are not available or cannot be issued prior to Closing for any item being prorated under Section 8.1, then Buyer and Sellers agree to allocate such items on a fair and equitable basis as soon as such bills are available, final adjustment to be made as soon as reasonably possible after the Closing; provided, however, such final adjustment shall be made by the date which is six (6) months after the Closing. Payments in connection with the final adjustment shall be due within thirty (30) days of written notice. All such rights and obligations shall survive the Closing.
8.4 Security Deposit. Except as set forth on Schedule 1.1.15, Sellers do not hold a security deposit under any Lease. If a Seller holds any security deposits under any Lease at Closing, such Seller shall provide a credit to Buyer in the amount of such security deposits.
8.5 Commissions. Sellers shall pay to Broker (identified in Section 1.1.8) the real estate sales commission due Broker at Closing (but only if the Closing occurs in accordance with this Agreement) pursuant to a separate agreement among Sellers and Broker. Other than as stated above in this Section 8.5, Sellers, on the one hand, and Buyer, on the other hand, each represents and warrants to the other that no real estate brokerage commission is payable to any person or entity in connection with the transaction contemplated hereby, and each agrees to and does hereby indemnify and hold the other harmless from and against the payment of any commission to any other person or entity claiming by, through or under Sellers or Buyer, as applicable. The foregoing indemnity shall extend to any and all claims, liabilities, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and litigation costs) arising as a result of such indemnified claims and shall survive the Closing.

SELLERS AND BUYER AGREE THAT SELLERS’ DAMAGES RESULTING FROM ANY SUCH BUYER’S DEFAULT ARE DIFFICULT, IF NOT IMPOSSIBLE, TO DETERMINE AND THE XXXXXXX MONEY IS A FAIR ESTIMATE OF THOSE DAMAGES WHICH HAS BEEN AGREED TO IN AN EFFORT TO CAUSE THE AMOUNT OF SUCH DAMAGES TO BE CERTAIN. 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 SELLERS. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING IN THIS SECTION 10.1 TO THE CONTRARY, IN THE EVENT OF BUYER’S DEFAULT OR A TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT, SELLERS SHALL HAVE ALL REMEDIES AVAILABLE AT LAW OR IN EQUITY IF BUYER OR ANY PARTY RELATED TO OR AFFILIATED WITH BUYER IS ASSERTING BY LEGAL PROCEEDINGS, NOTICES OR FILINGS ANY CLAIMS OR RIGHT TO THE PROPERTY (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE RECORDING OF A LIS PENDENS OR OTHER LIEN AGAINST THE PROPERTY OR ANY PORTION THEREOF OR THE SEEKING OF AN INJUNCTION OR SIMILAR RELIEF) THAT WOULD OTHERWISE DELAY OR PREVENT SELLERS FROM HAVING CLEAR, INDEFEASIBLE AND MARKETABLE TITLE TO THE PROPERTY OR ANY PORTION THEREOF.

-20-
(i) waive said failure or breach and proceed to the Closing;
(ii) terminate this Agreement by giving Sellers written notice of such election prior to the Closing Date and recover from Escrow Agent, the entire Xxxxxxx Money then held by Escrow Agent, and, if and only if specific performance is not available under clause (iii) below, recover from Sellers an amount equal to Buyer’s documented due diligence and legal expenses related to this Agreement, but not to exceed $100,000.00 in the aggregate; or
(iii) enforce specific performance; provided, however, as conditions precedent to Buyer’s right to enforce specific performance against Sellers (including the filing of a lis pendens or other claim or lien against the Property), all of the following must first have occurred: (A) a suit for specific performance must be filed by Buyer in a proper court in the county in which the Real Property is located by the 15th day following the scheduled Closing Date; and (B) Buyer must have either deposited with Escrow Agent the Purchase Price, or provided Sellers with clear documentary evidence that Buyer has immediately available liquid funds in an amount sufficient to fund the Purchase Price; and (C) Buyer must have fully performed all of its material obligations under this Agreement necessary to permit the Closing to occur in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and waived all closing conditions for Buyer’s benefit. Buyer hereby waives any and all rights Buyer may have to obtain specific performance and to file a lis pendens or any other claim or lien against the Property unless and until the express conditions precedent set forth above in this clause (iii) have been satisfied.
Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 10.2 to the contrary, in the event of a Representation Default of which Buyer was aware prior to the end of the Inspection Period, Buyer shall be deemed to have elected the remedy set forth in clause (i) of this Section 10.2 unless, prior to the end of the Inspection Period, Buyer elects a remedy under either clause (ii) or clause (iii) of this Section 10.2.
IN NO EVENT SHALL (X) SELLERS OR BUYER HAVE ANY LIABILITY FOR ANY CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES FOR ANY CLAIM, CAUSE OF ACTION OR OTHER LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE PROPERTY, WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, COMMON LAW, STATUTE, EQUITY OR OTHERWISE, AND/OR (Y) SELLERS’ DIRECT OR INDIRECT PARTNERS, SHAREHOLDERS, MEMBERS, OWNERS OR AFFILIATES, ANY OFFICER, DIRECTOR, EMPLOYEE OR AGENT OF THE FOREGOING, OR ANY AFFILIATE OR CONTROLLING PERSON THEREOF (COLLECTIVELY, THE “SELLER PARTIES”) OR BUYERS’ DIRECT OR INDIRECT PARTNERS, SHAREHOLDERS, MEMBERS, OWNERS OR AFFILIATES, ANY OFFICER, DIRECTOR, EMPLOYEE OR AGENT OF THE FOREGOING, OR ANY AFFILIATE OR CONTROLLING PERSON THEREOF HAVE ANY LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM, CAUSE OF ACTION OR OTHER LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE PROPERTY, WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, COMMON LAW, STATUTE, EQUITY OR OTHERWISE.

Neither Sellers nor Buyer shall make any public announcement or disclosure of any information related to this Agreement to outside brokers or third parties, before or after the Closing, without the prior written specific consent of the other party; provided, however, that Buyer and Sellers may, subject in the case of Buyer to the provisions of Section 4.6, make disclosure of this Agreement to, in the case of Buyer, its Permitted Outside Parties and, in the case of Sellers, their affiliates, partners, members, managers, officers, agents, attorneys, advisers, brokers, consultants, employees, contractors, subcontractors, service providers, tenants and subtenants, in each case as is reasonably necessary to perform its obligations hereunder and/or as may be required under applicable laws, including without limitation, any disclosure required by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission so long as the disclosing party uses reasonable efforts to limit the scope of any disclosure so required by law to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer acknowledges and agrees that Sellers shall have the right, without requiring the consent or approval of Buyer, to issue a press release announcing the transaction promptly following the Closing, which press release may include the name of the Buyer (or its assignee pursuant to Section 12.1 hereof, if applicable) and a description of Buyer (or such assignee) as an affiliate of Industrial Property Trust, Inc. but may not include the purchase price for the Property.
12.9 Notices. All notices required or permitted under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be served on the parties at the addresses set forth in Section 1.3.

A party’s address may be changed by written notice to the other party; however, no notice of a change of address shall be effective until actual receipt of such notice. Copies of notices are for informational purposes only, and a failure to give or receive copies of any notice shall not be deemed a failure to give notice. Notices given by counsel to the Buyer shall be deemed given by Buyer and notices given by counsel to the Sellers shall be deemed given by Sellers.
12.10 Construction. The parties acknowledge that the parties and their counsel have reviewed and revised this Agreement and agree that the normal rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall not be employed in the interpretation of this Agreement or any exhibits or amendments hereto.

Unless otherwise specified, in computing any period of time described herein, the day of the act or event after which the designated period of time begins to run is not to be included and the last day of the period so computed is to be included, unless such last day is a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday for national banks, in which event the period shall run until the end of the next day which is neither a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday.

12.13 No Recordation. Buyer shall not record this Agreement or any memorandum hereof, or any affidavit pertaining hereto, and any such recordation by Buyer shall constitute a default hereunder by Buyer, whereupon Sellers shall have the remedies set forth in Section 10.1.

In addition to the acts and documents recited herein and contemplated to be performed, executed and/or delivered by either party at Closing, each party agrees to perform, execute and deliver, but without any obligation to incur any additional liability or expense, any further deliveries and assurances as may be reasonably necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby or to perfect the conveyance, transfer and assignment of the Property to Buyer.
12.15 Discharge of Obligations. The acceptance of Deeds by Buyer shall be deemed to be a full performance and discharge of every representation and warranty made by Sellers herein and every agreement and obligation on the part of Sellers to be performed pursuant to this Agreement, except those which are herein specifically stated to survive Closing or are set forth in the Transaction Documents.
12.16 No Third Party Beneficiary. The provisions of this Agreement and of the documents to be executed and delivered at Closing are and will be for the benefit of Sellers and Buyer only and are not for the benefit of any third party, and accordingly, no third party shall have the right to enforce the provisions of this Agreement or of the documents to be executed and delivered at Closing.
12.17 Information and Audit Cooperation. To the extent necessary to enable Buyer to comply with any financial reporting requirements applicable to Buyer and upon at least three (3) days prior written notice to Sellers, within seventy-five (75) days after the Closing Date, Sellers shall reasonably cooperate (at no cost or liability to Seller) and allow Buyer’s auditors to audit the trial balance related to the operation of the Property for the year prior to the Closing Date and for the portion of the calendar starting on January 1 through the Closing Date; provided, however, that Sellers shall have no obligation to deliver any additional certificate, disclosure or similar letter to Buyer’s auditors. Other than any representation, warranty or covenant otherwise set forth in this Agreement or the Transaction Documents, Sellers make no representations, warranties or covenants with respect to the trial balance or the books and records which may be reviewed in auditing the same, and Buyer releases and waives any liability or claims against Sellers related to the trial balance or the books and records which may be reviewed and audited.
