($322,000,000.00) (the “Purchase Price”), which shall be paid by Purchaser as
follows:

2.1.1Deposit.  Purchaser has delivered concurrently with its execution of this
Agreement or will deliver within two (2) business days, to Escrow Agent by bank
wire of immediately available funds the sum of Ten Million and No/100 Dollars
($10,000,000.00) (the “Deposit”). Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to

-2-

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Agreement, (iii) pursuant to Section 3.3 of this Agreement solely resulting from
the failure of the condition precedent set forth in Section 3.1.3 to be
satisfied or waived by Purchaser on or prior to the Pre-Closing Date, (iv) on or
prior to the expiration of the Investigation Period (as defined below) solely as
a result of a Material Title Defect (as defined in Section 13.6), or (v) on or
prior to the expiration of the Investigation Period (as defined below) solely as
a result of a “Material Environmental Issue” which shall mean the presence of
Hazardous Materials (as defined below) at the Real Property constituting a
material breach of Environmental Laws (as defined below) as expressly identified
in a Phase I and/or Phase II report (which was not disclosed in the Existing
Environmental Report (defined below)) prepared for Purchaser or its lender by a
reputable and licensed environmental engineering firm, a copy of which report
shall be provided to Seller if requested by Seller, and the presence of which
Hazardous Materials are such that the same will cause (or does cause) an
Institutional Lender (as defined in Section 13.6) to refuse to provide financing
for the acquisition of the Property on terms that are substantially similar to
those that would have been offered by the respective Institutional Lender but
for such environmental issue, or the Phase I obtained by Purchaser properly
recommends a Phase II be done at the Real Property (consistent with market
standards for the issue(s) identified in such report), and Seller does not
permit the performance of such Phase II at the Real Property.  Purchaser
acknowledges receipt of the Title Report, Original Survey, Updated Survey and
Environmental Report dated June 27, 2019, prepared by Partner Engineering and
Science, Inc. (the “Existing Environmental Report”) and has reviewed the Title
Report, Original Survey, Updated Survey and Existing Environmental Report and
Purchaser acknowledges and agrees, as of the Effective Date, there are no
Material Environmental Issues or Material Title Defects.

2.1.2Intentionally Omitted.

2.1.3Balance of Purchase Price.  Purchaser shall, no later than 2:00 p.m.
Eastern Time on business day immediately preceding the Final Closing Date (as
defined in Section 6.1) (the “Pre-Closing Date”), deliver to Escrow Agent, by
bank wire transfer of immediately available funds, a sum equal to the balance of
the Purchase Price.  The balance of the Purchase Price received by Seller at
Closing shall be adjusted to reflect prorations and other adjustments pursuant
to Section 7.1 and Section 2.3. PURCHASER EXPRESSLY ACKNOWLEDGES AND ACCEPTS ITS
OBLIGATION TO DELIVER THE BALANCE OF THE PURCHASE PRICE ADJUSTED TO REFLECT
PRORATIONS AND OTHER ADJUSTMENTS PURSUANT TO SECTION 7.1 AND SECTION 2.3 TO
ESCROW AGENT ON OR BEFORE 2:00 P.M. EASTERN TIME ON THE PRE-CLOSING DATE, AND,
PROVIDED ALL CONDITIONS PRECEDENT TO PURCHASER’S OBLIGATION TO CLOSE UNDER THIS
AGREEMENT HAVE BEEN SATISFIED, SHALL AUTHORIZE THE DISBURSEMENT OF FUNDS ON THE
FINAL CLOSING DATE (AS DEFINED IN SECTION 6.1) IN SUFFICIENT TIME TO ALLOW THE
DEFEASANCE (AS DEFINED IN SECTION 2.4 BELOW) TO CLOSE PRIOR TO THE RECORDING OF
THE DEED (AS DEFINED IN SECTION 4.2.1) AND TO ENABLE SELLER TO SECURE THE TIMELY
RELEASE OF THE FIRST LIEN INDEBTEDNESS PURSUANT TO, AND AS DEFINED IN, SECTION
2.4 BELOW.  

-3-

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

2.2Investments.  Following the collection of the Deposit, Escrow Agent shall, at
the direction of Purchaser, invest the Deposit in:

(a)obligations of the United States government, its agencies or independent
departments;

(b)certificates of deposit issued by a banking institution whose principal
office is in New York City or Los Angeles, with assets in excess of $1 billion;
or

(c)an interest-bearing account of a banking institution whose principal office
is in New York City or Los Angeles, with assets in excess of $1 billion.

No investment of the Deposit shall have a maturity date beyond the Final Closing
Date (as defined in Section 6.1).

2.3Interest on the Deposit.  Any interest earned on the Deposit shall be
credited and delivered to the party receiving the Deposit, provided, however,
that if the transaction closes, at Closing any interest earned on the Deposit
shall be credited to Purchaser by applying the same against the Purchase Price.

2.4Defeasance of First Lien Indebtedness.  Seller hereby notifies Purchaser that
Seller will be required to defease the first lien indebtedness encumbering the
Property (the “Defeasance”).  Seller and Purchaser acknowledge that Seller is
the borrower under, and the Property is encumbered by, a mortgage loan dated
June 24, 2013 (the “First Lien Indebtedness”).  At Closing and prior to the
recordation of the Deed, Seller, shall, subject to the terms and provisions
hereof, defease the First Lien Indebtedness pursuant to the requirements set
forth in the loan documents therefor (the “Defeasance Requirements”).  The
Defeasance Requirements provide for the substitution of the Property (and the
release of the liens securing the First Lien Indebtedness on the Property) with
U.S. government obligations purchased by or for Seller. Because of the
Defeasance Requirements, Purchaser's cooperation will be necessary, and,
provided that the  conditions precedent in Section 3.1 have been satisfied or
waived by Purchaser as applicable, Purchaser hereby agrees to (i) deposit all
documents required by Purchaser hereunder to be delivered at the Closing, which
documents shall be fully executed, and where required acknowledged, with Escrow
Agent no later than the Pre-Closing Date, and (ii) deposit the balance of the
Purchase Price (i.e., less the Deposit plus or minus prorations and adjustments
as applicable) into escrow with  Escrow Agent no later than 2:00 p.m. Eastern
Time on the Pre-Closing Date for the express purpose of facilitating the
Defeasance.

the result of a Seller breach or default hereunder, Seller shall have the right

investigations.

5.3.1Title and Survey.  Purchaser shall have until August 7, 2019 at 5:00 p.m.
Eastern Time to notify Seller of any objections (the “Title Objections”) with
respect to the Title Report, the Original Survey and any update to the Original
Survey or new survey that Purchaser obtains (the “Updated Survey”; and, together
with the Original Survey and any further update to the Updated Survey,
collectively, the “Survey”) based on its review thereof.  If Purchaser does not
give such notice, such failure shall be conclusively deemed to be full and
complete approval of the Title Report and the Survey and any matter disclosed
therein.  If Purchaser does give such notice, Seller shall have five (5)
business days after receipt thereof to notify Purchaser that Seller (a) will
cause or (b) elects not to cause any or all of the Title Objections disclosed
therein to be removed or insured over by the Title Company.  Seller’s failure to
notify Purchaser within such five (5) business day period as to any Title
Objection shall be deemed an election by Seller not to remove or have the Title
Company insure over such Title Objection.  If Seller notifies or is deemed to
have notified Purchaser that Seller shall not remove nor have the Title Company
insure over any or all of the Title Objections, Purchaser shall have until the
fifth (5th) day after the expiration of such five business day period, as
applicable, (i) to terminate this Agreement or (ii) to waive such Title
Objections and proceed to Closing without any abatement or reduction in the
Purchase Price on account of such Title Objections.  If Purchaser does not give
such notice within said five business day period, Purchaser shall be deemed to
have elected to waive such Title Objections.  Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Purchaser acknowledges receipt of and has reviewed the Title Report, Original
Survey and Updated Survey and acknowledges and agrees that as of the Effective
Date, there are no Material Title Defects disclosed thereby and Purchaser hereby
waives any and all rights to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section
5.3.1.

5.3.2General Investigation.  In addition, Purchaser shall have from the date
hereof until August 16, 2019 at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time (the “Investigation
Period”) to notify Seller that, as a result of Purchaser’s review of any
documents (other than the Title Report or the Survey) or Purchaser’s
investigation of the Property, it disapproves of any matter or item affecting
the Property and terminates this Agreement.  If Purchaser fails to give such
notice of disapproval and termination with respect to any matter relating to the
Property prior to the expiration of the Investigation Period, such failure shall
be conclusively deemed to be full and complete approval of such matters and a
satisfaction of this condition.

5.3.3Contracts.  Prior to the expiration of the Investigation Period, Purchaser
will advise Seller in writing of which Contracts listed on Exhibit F attached
hereto it will assume and for which Contracts Purchaser requests that Seller
deliver written termination at or prior to Closing, provided Seller shall have
no obligation to terminate, and Purchaser shall be obligated to assume, any
cable services contract or any other Contracts which by their terms cannot be
terminated or which cannot be terminated without penalty or payment of a fee,
including, without limitation, the AT&T bulk cable contract and the Marlin
Business copier contract. If Purchaser fails to provide notice as set forth in
this Section 5.3.3, then Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected to assume all
Contracts.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

5.4Effect of Termination.  If Purchaser terminates this Agreement in accordance
with Section 5.3, then subject to Section 5.2, all further rights and
obligations of the parties shall cease and terminate without any further
liability of either party to the other (except those obligations which are
specifically provided to survive such termination as provided in this
Agreement).

5.5No Obligation to Cure.  Nothing contained in this Agreement or otherwise
shall require Seller to render its title marketable or to remove or correct any
exception or matter disapproved by Purchaser or to spend any money or incur any
expense in order to do so, other than to cure at Closing, those matters listed
in Schedule 2.1.1 attached hereto.

5.6Copies of Third-Party Reports.  If the Investigation Period is extended for
any reason, including by amendment to this Agreement, or if Seller otherwise
requests, Purchaser, within three (3) days after such extension or request,
shall provide Seller, with copies of all third-party reports generated with
respect to the Property.

such amounts.

7.1.1Certain Items Prorated.  In accordance with the notifications, Escrow Agent

is fixed, the apportionment of taxes shall be based on the tax rate for the
preceding period applied to the latest assessed valuation and after the Closing
(assuming the highest possible discount rate available on account of the early
payment of such taxes, assessments and amounts), when the actual real property
taxes are finally fixed, Seller and Purchaser shall promptly make a
recalculation of such proration, and the appropriate party shall make the
applicable payment reflecting the recalculation to the other party); (b) rents
and other tenant payments and tenant reimbursements (collectively, “Tenant
Payments”) if any, received under the Leases; (c) personal property taxes and
assessments on the Personal Property; (d) charges for water, sewer, electricity,
gas, fuel and other utility charges, all of which shall be read promptly before
Closing, unless Seller elects to close its own applicable account, in which
event Purchaser shall open its own account and the respective charges shall not
be prorated; (e) the cost, based on the invoices of Seller’s suppliers, of all
building supplies (but not building materials) all in unopened containers, in
accordance with an inventory to be made by Seller as of a date not more than ten
(10) days preceding the Closing; (f) amounts prepaid and amounts accrued but
unpaid on service contracts and management contracts which are to be assumed by

to Seller, such fees shall only be prorated with respect to cable contracts
entered into during the twelve (12) month period preceding the date of this
Agreement; (g) periodic fees for licenses, permits or other authorizations with
respect to the Property; and (h) HOA fees or assessments and other similar fees
or assessments. The adjustment obligation in item (a) above shall survive the

based on the portion of the term of the applicable Lease occurring before and
after the Closing, all leasing commissions and other charges payable by reason
of or in connection with any Lease entered into after the end of the

date and any new lease referred to in Section 13.4.

-12-

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

7.1.3Taxes.

(a)Real property tax refunds and credits received after the Closing which are
attributable to a fiscal tax year prior to the Closing shall belong to
Seller.  Any such refunds and credits attributable to the fiscal tax year during
which the Closing occurs shall be apportioned between Seller and Purchaser after
deducting the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of collection thereof.  This
apportionment obligation shall survive the Closing.

(b)If any tax appeal or certiorari proceedings shall not have been finally
resolved or settled prior to the Closing and shall relate to any tax period a
portion or all of which precedes the Closing, Seller shall be entitled to
control the disposition of any such tax appeal or certiorari proceeding, but
Seller shall keep Purchaser reasonably updated as to the status of any such
appeal or certiorari, and any refunds received therefrom, net of any expenses
incurred by Seller in connection therewith, shall be prorated between the
parties on the basis of the portions accruing to periods before and after the
Closing.

7.1.4Security and Other Deposits.  At the Closing, Seller shall deliver to
Purchaser all unapplied refundable security deposits (plus interest accrued
thereon to the extent required to be paid by the applicable Lease or applicable
law) required to be held by Seller under the Leases and Purchaser shall pay
Seller an amount equal to all utility and contract deposits then held by third
parties with respect to the Property and transferred to Purchaser hereunder.  If
any security deposits shall be held by Seller in the form of letters of credit
or surety bonds, Seller shall assign its rights thereunder to Purchaser and
shall cooperate reasonably with Purchaser in respect of the reissuance of any
such letters of credit or bonds in the name of Purchaser.  

7.1.5Adjustments.

(a)Delinquent Tenant Payments other than such amounts prorated pursuant to
Section 7.1.1(c), if any, shall not be prorated and all rights thereto shall be
retained by Seller, who reserves the right to collect and retain such delinquent
Tenant Payments, and Purchaser agrees to cooperate with Seller in Seller’s
efforts to collect such Tenant Payments; provided, however, that Seller shall
not be entitled to commence any disposition or eviction proceeding against the
delinquent tenant.  If at any time after the Closing Purchaser shall receive any
such delinquent Tenant Payments (all of which Purchaser shall use its best
efforts to obtain), Purchaser shall immediately remit such Tenant Payments to
Seller, provided that any monies received by Purchaser from a delinquent tenant
shall be applied first to current rents then due and payable and then to
delinquent rents in the inverse order in which they became due and payable.  The
previous sentence shall survive the Closing.

(b)If real property taxes are apportioned at Closing based on the tax rate for
the preceding period applied to the latest assessed valuation (assuming the
highest possible discount rate available on account of the early payment of such
taxes, assessments and amounts) and if prior to the Pre-Closing Date, actual or
better estimates of tax rates and assessed valuation become available, the
parties agree to reapportion such real property taxes based on such updated
information.  If neither Seller nor Purchaser has received written request from
the other prior to such date, to reapportion such real property taxes, then
Purchaser and Seller shall each be deemed to have waived any right to seek such
reapportionment.

such unit contains standard appliances, floor coverings and window coverings as
exist in similar apartment units which have recently been leased at the Property
and all such items are in working condition, and shall have been prepared in
accordance with Seller's past operating procedures.  If any such vacant

10.2Purchaser’s Remedies.  If the sale is not completed as herein provided
solely by reason of any material default of Seller, and Seller has failed to
cure such default within five (5) days after receipt of written notice of such
default, or such longer period as may be otherwise provided to Seller in this
Agreement, Purchaser shall be entitled, as its sole and exclusive remedy, either
(a) to terminate this Agreement (by delivering notice to Seller which includes a
waiver of any right, title or interest of Purchaser in the Property), and
receive the Deposit (plus accrued interest) plus a reimbursement for actual
costs and expenses incurred by Purchaser related to or arising out of the
transaction contemplated by this Agreement in an amount not to exceed One
Hundred Fifty Thousand and No/100 dollars ($150,000.00) (the “Pursuit Costs”),
or (b) to treat this Agreement as being in full force and effect and pursue only
the specific performance of this Agreement, provided that Purchaser must
commence any action for specific performance within thirty (30) days after the
scheduled Final Closing Date.  Purchaser waives any right to pursue any other
remedy at law or equity for such default of Seller, including, without
limitation, any right to seek, claim or obtain damages (other than for costs
under (a) above), punitive damages or consequential damages. In no case shall
Seller ever be liable to Purchaser under any statutory, common law, equitable or
other theory of law, either prior to or following the Closing, for any lost
rents, profits, “benefit of the bargain,” business opportunities or any form of
consequential damage in connection with any claim, liability, demand or cause of
action in any way or manner relating to the Property, the condition of the
Property, this Agreement, or any transaction or matter between the parties
contemplated hereunder.  Purchaser’s remedies hereunder are in addition to the
right to receive the return of the Deposit, subject to Section 9.4, to the
extent it is not applied to the Purchase Price in connection with Purchaser’s
action for specific performance.

Section 11.1 constitute representations and warranties by Seller which are now
and (subject to matters contained in any notice given pursuant to the next
succeeding sentence) shall, in all material respects, at the Closing be true and
correct.  If Seller has actual knowledge that any of the representations and
warranties contained in this Article XI may cease to be true, Seller shall give
prompt notice to Purchaser (which notice shall include copies of the instrument,
correspondence, or document, if any, upon which Seller’s notice is based).  As
used in this Section 11.1, the phrase “to the extent of Seller’s actual

has or acquires actual knowledge or is deemed to know prior to the expiration of
the Investigation Period that these representations and warranties are
inaccurate, untrue or incorrect in any way, such representations and warranties
shall be deemed modified to reflect Purchaser’s knowledge or deemed
knowledge.  Purchaser shall be deemed to know a representation or warranty is
untrue, inaccurate or incorrect if this Agreement or any files, documents,
materials, analyses, studies, tests, or reports disclosed or made available to

(or is deemed to have notified Purchaser) that Seller shall not cure such New
Objection, Purchaser shall have until the third (3rd) day after the expiration
of such seven (7) day period, or two (2) business day period, as applicable: (i)
to terminate this Agreement and the Deposit shall be disbursed under Section 9.3
and Section 9.4, or (ii) to waive such New Objection and proceed to Closing
without any abatement or reduction in the Purchase Price on account of such New
Objection. Nothing contained in this Section 13.6 shall require Seller to cure
any New Objection or to incur any liability or expense to do so. “Material Title
Defect” for purposes hereof shall mean an encumbrance or defect that appears on
an update of the Title Report (which was not disclosed on any prior version of
the Title Report) or the Updated Survey (which was not disclosed on the Original
Survey or the Updated Survey) that would either cause (or does cause) a
nationally recognized or institutional multi-family apartment lender such as
Bank of America, Wells Fargo, Freddie Mac or Fannie Mae (in each case, an
“Institutional Lender”) to refuse to provide financing for the acquisition of
the Property on terms that are substantially similar to those that would have
been offered by the respective Institutional Lender but for the title or survey
defect (any requirement by such Institutional Lender to include its standard
legal non-conforming property rider (or the reasonably applicable equivalent to
Freddie Mac’s such rider) to the applicable loan documents to be entered into by
Purchaser with such Institutional Lender shall not constitute a “refusal” for
purposes hereof); any title or survey defect, limitation or encumbrance other
than a Permitted Encumbrance (as defined in Section 4.2.1) shall be deemed cured
and shall not be a Material Title Defect if the Title Company will agree to
issue an ALTA standard form of title insurance policy to Purchaser, which policy
takes no exception for such defect, limitation or encumbrance and is issued for
no additional premium or for an additional premium if Seller agrees to pay such
additional premium upon Closing.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

any claim of any kind whatsoever against Seller with respect to any information
contained in such books and records, (iii) the information contained in such
books and records shall not in any way increase the scope of the express

persons who are exposed to it over time.  Levels of radon that exceed federal
and state guidelines have been found in buildings in Florida. Additional
information regarding radon and radon testing may be obtained from your county
health department.  This paragraph is provided for informational purposes
pursuant to Section 404.056(5), Florida Statutes.

16.20Florida Disclosures.

16.20.1PURCHASER SHOULD NOT RELY ON SELLER’S CURRENT PROPERTY TAXES AS THE
AMOUNT OF PROPERTY TAXES THAT THE PURCHASER MAY BE OBLIGATED TO PAY IN THE YEAR
SUBSEQUENT TO PURCHASE.  A CHANGE OF OWNERSHIP OR PROPERTY IMPROVEMENTS TRIGGERS

YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS CONCERNING VALUATION, CONTACT THE COUNTY PROPERTY
APPRAISER’S OFFICE FOR INFORMATION.

16.20.2EVERY PURCHASER OF ANY INTEREST IN RESIDENTIAL REAL PROPERTY ON WHICH A
RESIDENTIAL DWELLING WAS BUILT PRIOR TO 1978 IS NOTIFIED THAT SUCH PROPERTY MAY

RISK OF DEVELOPING LEAD POISONING.  LEAD POISONING IN YOUNG CHILDREN MAY PRODUCE
PERMANENT NEUROLOGICAL DAMAGE, INCLUDING LEARNING DISABILITIES, REDUCED
INTELLIGENCE QUOTIENT, BEHAVIORAL PROBLEMS, AND IMPAIRED MEMORY.  LEAD POISONING

INFORMATION ON LEAD-BASED PAINT HAZARDS FROM RISK ASSESSMENTS OR INSPECTIONS IN
THE SELLER’S POSSESSION, IF ANY, AND NOTIFY THE PURCHASER OF ANY KNOWN
LEAD-BASED PAINT HAZARDS. A RISK ASSESSMENT OR INSPECTION FOR POSSIBLE
LEAD-BASED PAINT HAZARDS IS RECOMMENDED PRIOR TO PURCHASE.

16.20.3Purchaser may have the building’s energy efficiency rating determined
upon request of the prospective purchaser, in writing, at the time of, or prior
to, the purchaser’s execution of the contract for sale and purchase.  Seller
has, simultaneously with the execution hereof, delivered to Purchaser a copy of
the Florida Building Energy Efficiency Rating System pamphlet prepared by the
State of Florida Department of Community Affairs.  This paragraph is provided
for informational purposes pursuant to Section 553.996, Florida Statutes.

THE SUBMISSION OF THIS AGREEMENT FOR EXAMINATION IS NOT INTENDED TO NOR SHALL IT
CONSTITUTE AN OFFER TO SELL, OR A RESERVATION OF, OR OPTION OR PROPOSAL OF ANY
KIND FOR THE PURCHASE OF THE PROPERTY.  EITHER PARTY MAY TERMINATE DISCUSSIONS
OR NEGOTIATIONS AT ANY TIME FOR ANY REASON.  THE DELIVERY OF ANY DRAFT DOCUMENTS
AND THE PROVISION OF ANY COMMENTS IN RESPONSE THERETO BY THE PARTIES’ COUNSEL
WILL NOT PRECLUDE THE PARTIES FROM RAISING COMMENTS OR RESPONDING TO PROVISIONS,
EVEN IF THOSE PROVISIONS WERE SET FORTH IN PRIOR DRAFTS OR COMMENTARY.  IN NO
EVENT SHALL ANY DRAFT OF THIS AGREEMENT CREATE ANY OBLIGATION OR LIABILITY, IT
BEING UNDERSTOOD THAT THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE EFFECTIVE AND BINDING ONLY WHEN A
COUNTERPART HEREOF HAS BEEN EXECUTED AND DELIVERED BY EACH PARTY HERETO AND THE
INITIAL DEPOSIT IS DELIVERED TO ESCROW AGENT.

ARTICLE XVII

ESCROW AGENT DUTIES AND DISPUTES

17.1Other Duties of Escrow Agent.  Escrow Agent shall not be bound in any way by
any other agreement or contract between Seller and Purchaser, whether or not
Escrow Agent has knowledge thereof.  Escrow Agent’s only duties and
responsibilities with respect to the Deposit shall be to hold the Deposit and
other documents delivered to it as agent and to dispose of the Deposit and such
documents in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.  Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, Escrow Agent shall have no responsibility to
protect the Deposit and shall not be responsible for any failure to demand,
collect or enforce any obligation with respect to the Deposit or for any
diminution in value of the Deposit from any cause, other than Escrow Agent’s
gross negligence or willful misconduct.  Escrow Agent may, at the expense of
Seller and Purchaser, consult with counsel and accountants in connection with
its duties under this Agreement.  Escrow Agent shall not be liable to the
parties hereto for any act taken, suffered or permitted by it in good faith in
accordance with the advice of counsel and accountants.  Escrow Agent shall not
be obligated to take any action hereunder that may, in its reasonable judgment,
result in any liability to it unless Escrow Agent shall have been furnished with
reasonable indemnity satisfactory in amount, form and substance to Escrow Agent.

-36-

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

17.2Disputes.  Escrow Agent is acting as a stakeholder only with respect to the
Deposit.  If there is any dispute as to whether Escrow Agent is obligated to
deliver the Deposit or as to whom the Deposit is to be delivered, Escrow Agent
shall not make any delivery, but shall hold the Deposit until receipt by Escrow
Agent of an authorization in writing, signed by all the parties having an
interest in the dispute, directing the disposition of the Deposit, or, in the
absence of authorization, Escrow Agent shall hold the Deposit until the final
determination of the rights of the parties in an appropriate proceeding.  Escrow
Agent shall have no responsibility to determine the authenticity or validity of
any notice, instruction, instrument, document or other item delivered to it, and
it shall be fully protected in acting in accordance with any written notice,
direction or instruction given to it under this Agreement and believed by it to
be authentic.  If written authorization is not given, or proceedings for a
determination are not begun, within thirty (30) days after the date scheduled
for the closing of title and diligently continued, Escrow Agent may, but is not
required to, bring an appropriate action or proceeding for leave to deposit the
Deposit with a court of the State of New York pending a determination.  Escrow
Agent shall be reimbursed for all costs and expenses of any action or
proceeding, including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and disbursements
incurred in its capacity as Escrow Agent, by the party determined not to be
entitled to the Deposit.  Upon making delivery of the Deposit in the manner
provided in this Agreement, Escrow Agent shall have no further liability
hereunder.  In no event shall Escrow Agent be under any duty to institute,
defend or participate in any proceeding that may arise between Seller and
Purchaser in connection with the Deposit.

17.3Reports.  Escrow Agent shall be responsible for the timely filing of any
reports or returns required pursuant to the provisions of Section 6045(e) of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (and any similar reports or returns required under
any state or local laws) in connection with the closing of the transaction
contemplated by this Agreement.

17.4Assignment of Seller’s Mortgage. Provided that Purchaser provides written
notice to Seller on or before July 30, 2019 that Purchaser desires to pursue an
assignment of Seller’s mortgage(s), Seller agrees that it will reasonably
cooperate with Purchaser, at Purchaser’s sole cost (including all additional
legal fees) and with no liability to Seller or any guarantor(s) of the loan(s)
securing such mortgage(s), to request that Seller’s lender assign the existing
note(s) and mortgage(s) on the Property to Purchaser’s lender, provided,
however, that Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that the assignment of any
existing note(s) and/or mortgage(s) shall not be a condition precedent to
Purchaser’s obligation to complete Closing and any failure to receive any
assignment of the existing note(s) and/or the mortgage(s) shall not be deemed a
default of Seller hereunder.
