The cash due at Closing on account of the Purchase Price shall be subject to adjustment as set forth in this Agreement.  The Purchase Price shall be paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds at the Closing.  No portion of the Purchase Price is allocated to the Personal Property or any other portion of the Property other than the Land and the Improvements.  Notwithstanding the forgoing, the allocation of the Purchase Price for purposes of calculating local, state or federal taxes or otherwise, shall not be restricted by this Agreement and shall not require the consent of the other party.

2









hereunder (together with all interest thereon if any, the “Deposit”).  Prior to making the Deposit, Seller, Purchaser and the Escrow Agent shall enter into an escrow agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit B attached hereto (the “Escrow Agreement”).   
2.2.2    Escrow Agent shall place the Deposit in an interest-bearing escrow account at a federally-insured (to the extent of the FDIC limits) commercial bank acceptable to both Seller and Purchaser.  The Escrow Agent shall hold the Deposit in accordance with this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement.  At Closing (as hereinafter defined), Escrow Agent shall deliver the Deposit to Seller and credit the Deposit against the Purchase Price. 
ARTICLE 3      TITLE AND SURVEY


3.1    State of Title to be Conveyed.  Title to the Property shall be conveyed to Purchaser at Closing in fee simple by Special Warranty Deed, free and clear of any and all liens, mortgages, deeds of trust, security interests and other encumbrances, except for the following (collectively, the “Permitted Exceptions”): (i) real property taxes and assessments attributable to the Property for the year in which Closing occurs and thereafter, not yet due and payable; (ii) zoning and other regulatory laws and ordinances affecting the Property; (iii) any easement, right of way, limitation, encroachment, conflict, discrepancy, overlapping of improvements, protrusion, lien, encumbrance, restriction, condition, covenant, exception or other matter with respect to the Property that is reflected or addressed on the Survey or the Title Commitment to which Purchaser fails to timely object pursuant to Section 3.2.3 or 3.2.4 of this Agreement; (iv) any Purchaser’s Objection (as hereinafter defined) that remains uncured, for whatever reason, at the earlier to occur of (A) Closing hereunder or (B) five (5) Business Days after Seller notifies Purchaser that Seller is unwilling or unable to cure or modify Purchaser’s Objections to the reasonable satisfaction of Purchaser, and (v) the rights and interests of parties claiming under the Leases.  
3.2    Title Commitment and Survey.
3.2.1    Prior to the date of this Agreement, Seller has provided to Purchaser a title commitment (the “Title Commitment”) for an ALTA owner’s policy of title insurance (on the current ALTA 2006 Form) in the amount of the Purchase Price with respect to the Property issued by the Title Company.
3.2.2    Prior to the date of this Agreement, Seller has provided to Purchaser a copy of its existing survey of the Property (the “Survey”). Purchaser may obtain, at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense, an update of the Survey of the Property (certified to include Seller) prepared by a licensed surveyor.  Purchaser shall deliver a copy of the updated Survey to Seller and the Title Company within five (5) Business Days after Purchaser’s receipt of the updated Survey.
3.2.3    If (i) the Survey shows any easement, right-of-way, encroachment, conflict, protrusion or other matter that is unacceptable to Purchaser, in Purchaser's sole discretion, or (ii) any exceptions appear in the Title Commitment that are unacceptable to Purchaser, in Purchaser's sole discretion, Purchaser shall, no later than October 28, 2016, notify Seller in writing of such matters (“Purchaser’s Objections”).  Except for Purchaser’s Objections that are timely raised pursuant to the preceding sentence or pursuant to Section 3.2.4, Purchaser shall be deemed to have accepted the form and substance of the Survey, all matters shown thereon, and all exceptions to the Title Commitment and other items shown thereon.  Within five (5) days after Seller’s receipt of Purchaser’s Objections, Seller shall notify Purchaser in writing of the Purchaser’s Objections, if any, which Seller elects to attempt to cure at or prior to Closing.  Seller’s failure to provide such a notice will be deemed an election by Seller not to cure any Purchaser’s Objections. If Seller is unable or unwilling to eliminate or modify all of Purchaser’s Objections to the satisfaction of Purchaser, Purchaser may (as its sole and exclusive remedy) terminate this Agreement by delivering written notice to Seller no later than five (5) days after Seller’s written notice (or deemed notice) to Purchaser of Seller’s intent to not cure one or more of such Purchaser’s 


3









Objections; in which event, the Deposit will be returned to Purchaser, and neither party shall have any rights or obligations under this Agreement (other than any obligations of either party that expressly survive termination).
3.2.4    If any revision or update to the Survey or any supplemental title commitment or update issued subsequent to the date of the original Title Commitment discloses any matters not set forth on the original Survey or the original Title Commitment, then, no later than five (5) Business Days after Purchaser’s receipt of the supplemented or updated Title Commitment or Survey, as applicable, Purchaser shall have the right to object to any such matter, in which event the same procedures for response, termination and waiver set forth above shall apply to such new Purchaser’s Objections.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any such matter not set forth on the original Survey or the original Title Commitment is the result of an intentional act of Seller after the Effective Date that is not otherwise permitted under this Agreement, then Purchaser shall be permitted to pursue the remedies provided in Section 11.1 hereof.
3.2.5    Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Seller shall have no obligation to take any steps, bring any action or proceeding or incur any effort or expense whatsoever to eliminate, modify or cure any objection Purchaser may have pursuant to Section 3.2.3 or Section 3.2.4.
ARTICLE 4       PROPERTY INFORMATION


4.1    Property Information. Prior to the Effective Date, Seller has made available to Purchaser, either at the property management office at the Property or via a due diligence website, certain materials which pertain to the Property.  All materials pertaining to the Property that have been made available to Purchaser on the due diligence website or at the property management office on or before the Effective Date are hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Property Information”.  Purchaser shall keep such Property Information confidential, subject to Purchaser’s right to disseminate Property Information to or among the parties listed in Section 15.17 of this Agreement, and subject to the restrictions set forth in Section 15.17.  Seller makes no representation or warranty as to the truth or accuracy of the Property Information provided to Purchaser, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement. To the extent not provided to Purchaser pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 4.1, either at the property management office at the Property or via a due diligence website on or before the Effective Date, Purchaser may submit supplemental written requests for Property Information to Seller on or before October 28, 2016. Seller shall deliver such supplemental Property Information requested by Purchaser in writing (either at the property management office at the Property or via a due diligence website) on or before November 1, 2016. Seller’s obligation to deliver such supplemental Property Information shall be specifically limited and subject to only that Property Information: (i) not initially provided to Purchaser pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 4.1; (ii) in existence or prepared by Seller (or on Seller’s behalf) as of the date of Purchaser’s written request; and (iii) in the possession or control of Seller. Seller has no obligation to provide any information other than the Property Information, but if Seller does provide additional information regarding the Property requested by or for Purchaser, that information shall constitute Property Information. Purchaser further agrees that it shall bear the any risks due to its inability to obtain additional information regarding the Property.


ARTICLE 5       PURCHASER’S DUE DILIGENCE


5.1    Purchaser’s Due Diligence
5.1.1    Subject to the provisions of this Section, Purchaser and its agents, employees, consultants, inspectors, appraisers, engineers and contractors (collectively “Purchaser's Representatives”) shall have the right, through the Closing Date, from time to time, upon the advance notice required pursuant to 


4









this Section 5.1, to enter upon and pass through the Property during normal business hours to examine and inspect the same.  Notwithstanding any such inspection, or anything to the contrary contained herein, Purchaser's obligations hereunder shall not be limited or otherwise affected as a result of any fact, circumstance or other matter of any kind discovered following the date hereof in connection with any such inspection, access or otherwise; it being agreed that Seller is permitting Purchaser such right of inspection and access as a courtesy to Purchaser in its preparation for taking title to the Property.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (i) Purchaser agrees that it shall not have the right to terminate this Agreement or obtain a reduction of the Purchase Price as a result of any such fact, circumstance or other matter so discovered (including, without limitation, relating to the physical condition of the Property, the operations of the Property or otherwise), except as provided in Section 5.1.4 below and (ii) Purchaser shall have no right to terminate this Agreement or obtain a return of the Deposit except as expressly provided in this Agreement.    
5.1.2    In conducting any inspection of the Property or otherwise accessing the Property, Purchaser shall at all times comply with all laws and regulations of all applicable governmental authorities, and neither Purchaser nor any of Purchaser's Representatives shall (i) contact or have any discussions with any of Seller's employees, agents or representatives, or with any tenants (including, without limitation, having any contacts whatsoever with tenants, including but not limited to telephone conversations or electronic mail messages) at, or contractors providing services to, the Property, unless in each case Purchaser obtains the prior written consent of Seller (which may be given via electronic mail), it being agreed that all such contacts or discussions shall, pending any such approval, be directed to Jay Curran via electronic mail (at JCurran@crescentcommunities.com), (ii) interfere with the business of Seller conducted at the Property or disturb the use or occupancy of any tenant or occupant of the Property or (iii) damage the Property.  In conducting any inspection of the Property or otherwise accessing the Property, Purchaser and Purchaser's Representatives shall at all times comply with, and shall be subject to, the rights of the tenants under the Leases (and any persons claiming by, under or through such tenants).  Seller may from time to time establish in writing reasonable rules of conduct for Purchaser and Purchaser's Representatives in furtherance of the foregoing, and Purchaser shall comply with all of Seller’s requirements regarding entry upon the Property.  Purchaser shall schedule and coordinate all inspections, including, without limitation, any environmental tests, and other access with Seller and shall give Seller at least two (2) Business Days’ prior notice thereof, or such shorter prior notice as Seller may agree to.  Seller shall be entitled to have a representative present at all times during each such inspection or other access.  Purchaser agrees to pay to Seller on demand the actual and verified cost of repairing and restoring any damage or disturbance which Purchaser or Purchaser's Representatives shall cause to the Property.  All inspection fees, appraisal fees, engineering fees and other costs and expenses of any kind incurred by Purchaser or Purchaser's Representatives relating to such inspection and its other access shall be at the sole expense of Purchaser.  Purchaser shall keep all information obtained during its inspections and access to the Property confidential, subject to Section 15.17.  If the Closing shall not occur for any reason whatsoever, Purchaser shall:  (A) promptly deliver to Seller, at no cost to Seller, without representation or warranty of any kind, the originals of all tests, reports and inspections of the Property, made and conducted by Purchaser or Purchaser's Representatives or for Purchaser's benefit, that are in the possession or control of Purchaser or Purchaser's Representatives; (B) promptly return to Seller copies of all Property Information delivered by Seller to Purchaser; and (C) promptly destroy all copies and abstracts of the materials referenced in (A) and (B) above.  Purchaser and Purchaser's Representatives shall not be permitted to conduct borings of the Property or drilling in or on the Property, or any other invasive, intrusive or destructive testing in connection with the preparation of an environmental audit or in connection with any other inspection of the Property without the prior written consent of Seller, which Seller may give or withhold in its sole discretion (and, if such consent is given, Purchaser shall be obligated to pay to Seller promptly on demand the actual and verified cost of repairing and restoring any damage as aforesaid).  This Section 5.1.2 shall survive the Closing or any termination of this Agreement.
5.1.3    Prior to conducting any physical inspection or testing at the Property, Purchaser and Purchaser’s Representatives shall obtain, and during the period of such inspection or testing shall maintain, at 


5









their expense: (i) commercial general liability (“CGL”) insurance, issued on a form at least as broad as Insurance Services Office (“ISO”) Commercial General Liability Coverage “occurrence” form CG 00 01 10 01 or another “occurrence” form providing equivalent coverage, including contractual liability and personal injury liability coverage, with limits of not less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) for any one occurrence and Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000) in the aggregate; (ii) comprehensive automobile liability insurance (covering any automobiles owned or operated by Purchaser or Purchaser’s Representatives) issued on a form at least as broad as ISO Business Auto Coverage form CA 00 01 07 97 or other form providing equivalent coverage; (iii) worker's compensation insurance or participation in a monopolistic state workers’ compensation fund, and (iv) employer's liability insurance or (in a monopolistic state) Stop Gap Liability insurance.  Such automobile liability insurance shall be in an amount not less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) for each accident.  Such worker's compensation insurance shall carry minimum limits as defined by the law of the jurisdiction in which the Property is located (as the same may be amended from time to time).  Such employer's liability insurance shall be in an amount not less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) for each accident, One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) disease-policy limit, and One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) disease-each employee.  Seller, and its property manager, shall be covered as additional insureds on the CGL and automobile liability insurance policies with respect to liability arising out of the named insured’s acts or omissions relating to the Property.  The insurer and the terms and conditions of all the foregoing policies shall be acceptable to Seller.  Prior to making any entry upon the Property, Purchaser shall furnish to Seller a certificate of insurance evidencing the foregoing coverages, which certificate of insurance shall be in form and substance satisfactory to Seller. 
5.1.4    Purchaser shall have until 5:00 p.m. (Eastern time) on November 4, 2016 (the “Study Period”) within which to determine, in its sole discretion, solely whether the environmental condition of the Property is satisfactory to Purchaser.  If Purchaser, in its sole discretion, determines that environmental condition of the Property is not satisfactory to Purchaser and that Purchaser does not desire to proceed with the transactions contemplated under this Agreement, then Purchaser shall deliver to Seller, prior to the expiration of the Study Period, written notice that Purchaser does not desire to proceed with the transactions contemplated under this Agreement and in such case, this Agreement shall terminate upon Seller’s receipt of such notice, except for those matters which are indicated herein as surviving termination, and the Deposit shall be immediately returned to Purchaser.  If Purchaser fails to timely notify Seller prior to the expiration of the Study Period (with time being of the essence) that Purchaser does not desire to proceed with the transactions contemplated under this Agreement as aforesaid, then Purchaser shall be deemed to have waived its right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 5.1.4.  
5.1.5    Purchaser hereby agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Seller, its partners, members, affiliates, property manager, and their respective officers, directors, agents, employees, and representatives (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all liens, claims, or damages of any kind or nature, including any demands, actions or causes of action, assessments, losses, costs, expenses, liabilities, interest and penalties, and reasonable attorneys’ fees suffered, incurred, or sustained by any of the Indemnified Parties directly caused by Purchaser or Purchaser’s Representatives with respect to any due-diligence activities at the Property pursuant to this Agreement, except any arising from the discovery of preexisting conditions (so long as Purchaser does not exacerbate any such condition).  This Section 5.1.5 shall survive the Closing or any termination of this Agreement.
5.2    As Is, Where Is.
5.2.1    Except as provided in the express representations and warranties of Seller set forth in Sections 6.1 and 12 of this Agreement and in Seller’s Special Warranty Deed and the Bill of Sale (all as hereinafter defined) (collectively, the “Express Representations”), Seller does not, by the execution and delivery of this Agreement, and Seller shall not, by the execution and delivery of any document or instrument executed and 


6









delivered in connection with the Closing, make any representation or warranty, express or implied, of any kind or nature whatsoever, with respect to the Property, and all such warranties are hereby disclaimed.

9.4    Escrow.  The delivery of the documents and the payment of the sums to be delivered and paid at the Closing shall be accomplished through an escrow with the Escrow Agent.  
9.5    Costs and Adjustments at Closing.
9.5.1    Expenses.  Seller shall pay (a) the fees of any counsel representing Seller in connection with this transaction, (b) one-half (1/2) of the escrow fee charged by Escrow Agent, (c) all charges and costs for all title examinations, title commitments and premiums for base owner’s title insurance policies, excluding the costs of any endorsements, (d) the recording charges for the Deed and any other documents to clear title and (e) documentary stamp or transfer taxes for recording the Deed.  Purchaser shall pay (i) the fees of any counsel representing Purchaser in connection with this transaction, (ii) costs and expenses related to the updated Survey, (iii) the costs and expenses related to all of Purchaser’s due diligence studies and investigations, (iv) one-half (1/2) of the escrow fee charged by Escrow Agent, (v) all costs related to Purchaser’s financing of the Property (including, but not limited to, documentary stamp taxes and non-recurring intangible taxes in connection therewith), if applicable, and (vi) all charges and costs for any endorsements to the title insurance policies obtained by Purchaser and the costs of any lender’s title insurance policy obtained by Purchaser.  Any other costs or expenses incident to this transaction and the closing thereof not expressly provided for above shall be allocated between and paid by the parties in accordance with custom and practice in Seminole County, Florida.
9.5.2    Real Estate and Personal Property Taxes.  Real estate, personal property and ad valorem taxes for the year in which the Closing occurs will be paid at or before Closing and prorated between Seller and Purchaser as of the Apportionment Time (as hereinafter defined) on the basis of actual bills therefor.  Any and all rebates or reductions in taxes received subsequent to Closing for the calendar year in which Closing occurs, net of costs of obtaining the same (including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees) and net of any amounts due to tenants, shall be prorated as of the Apportionment Time, when received.  The current installment of all special assessments, if any, which are a lien against the Property at the time of Closing and which are being or may be paid in installments shall be prorated as of the Apportionment Time.  As used herein, the term “Apportionment Time” shall mean 11:59 p.m. Eastern time on the date immediately prior to the Closing Date. 
9.5.3    Lease Security Deposits.  At Closing, Seller shall pay to Purchaser, as a credit against the Purchase Price, an amount equal to all security deposits and other deposits held by Seller under the Leases (together with accrued interest thereon required by law or by the terms of the Leases), and thereafter Purchaser shall be solely obligated for the return of such security deposits and other deposits.


16









9.5.4    Rents.  All rents and other costs or charges paid by tenants under the Leases shall be prorated as of the Apportionment Time, to the extent actually collected by Seller.  With respect to any rent or charges that are delinquent prior to Closing, Seller shall have the right to pursue all rights and remedies against the tenants to recover such delinquencies; provided, however, that Seller shall not be entitled to dispossess such tenants.  Purchaser shall promptly remit to Seller any rent or payments for any charges received by Purchaser subsequent to Closing which are attributable to periods prior to Closing; provided, however, that such amounts received from tenants after Closing will first be applied to such charges as are then due and then applied in their reverse order of accrual until applied in full.  From and after Closing and for a period of sixty (60) days thereafter, Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to collect from the tenants all rents that are delinquent for the period prior to Closing (provided same shall be at no material cost to Purchaser and in no event shall Purchaser be required to institute any litigation in connection therewith).  
9.5.5    Utilities.  Water, sewer, electric, fuel (if any) and other utility charges, other than those for which tenants under Leases are responsible directly to the provider, shall be prorated as of the Apportionment Time.  If consumption of any of the foregoing is measured by meter, Seller shall, prior to the Closing Date, obtain a reading of each such meter and a final bill as of the Closing Date.  If there is no such meter or if the bill for any of the foregoing shall have not been issued as of the Closing Date, the charges therefor shall be adjusted as of the Apportionment Time on the basis of the charges of the prior period for which such bills were issued and shall be further adjusted between the parties when the bills for the correct period are issued.  Seller and Purchaser shall cooperate to cause the transfer of utility accounts from Seller to Purchaser.  Seller shall be entitled to retain any utility security deposits to be refunded.  At Closing, Purchaser shall post substitute utility security deposits to replace those previously paid by Seller or, if the utility provider will not refund such deposits to Seller, Seller shall be reimbursed therefor by Purchaser at Closing.
9.5.6    Contracts.  All payments made or required under Contracts assumed by Purchaser shall be adjusted and apportioned as of the Apportionment Time. All advance incentive payments received by Seller in connection with the Contracts shall be prorated as of the Closing Date (excluding, however, any prepaid amounts, upfront fees, advance payments, signing bonuses or similar items paid to Seller or any predecessor-in-title to Seller with respect to any cable, communication or similar operational contract or agreement, which shall not be prorated and will be retained by Seller).
9.5.7    Certain Obligations under Developer’s Agreement with City of Altamonte Springs, Florida.  The parties acknowledge and agree that the Permitted Exceptions include that certain Developer's Agreement and Grant of Cross Access Easement (the “Developer’s Agreement”) by and between GGT Crescent Gateway FL Venture, LLC, and the City of Altamonte Springs, Florida, recorded May 11, 2015 in Official Records Book 8467, Page 862, of the Public Records of Seminole County, Florida, which Agreement includes, among other obligations, certain obligations of the owner of the Property to participate in the pro-rata share of the cost for one or more traffic signals in the vicinity of the Property (the “Traffic Signalization Costs”).  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Purchaser and Seller agree that, as between Purchaser and Seller, (i) Seller shall be solely responsible to pay the Traffic Signalization Costs with respect to the traffic signal installed prior to the Effective Date at the intersection of Gateway Drive and Inspiration Avenue; and (ii) at Closing, Purchaser shall assume all obligations of Seller arising under the Developer’s Agreement from and after the Closing Date. 
9.5.8    Insurance Policies.  Premiums on insurance policies will not be adjusted.  As of the Closing Date, Seller will terminate its insurance coverage and Purchaser will obtain its own insurance coverage. 
9.5.9    Closing Statement.  Not later than two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing, Seller or its agents or designees shall prepare, and promptly thereafter, Seller and Purchaser shall jointly agree upon, a closing statement (the “Closing Statement”) that will show the net amount due either to Seller or to Purchaser as the result of the adjustments and prorations provided for in this Agreement, and such net due amount shall 


17









be added to or subtracted from the cash balance of the Purchase Price to be paid to Seller at the Closing, as applicable.  Not later than the date that is one hundred eighty (180) days after the Closing Date. Seller and Purchaser shall reprorate the adjustments and prorations provided for herein respecting any items that were not capable of being determined as of the Closing Date or that previously were wrongfully determined and need to be corrected and the manner in which such items shall be determined and paid.  The net amount due Seller or Purchaser, if any, by reason of adjustments to the Closing Statement shall be paid in cash by the party obligated therefor within five (5) Business Days following the reproration by Seller and Purchaser.  The reproration agreed to by Seller and Purchaser not later than one hundred eighty (180) days after the Closing Date shall be conclusive and binding on the parties hereto except for any items that are not capable of being determined at the time such reproration has been made by Seller and Purchaser and shall be conclusive and binding on the parties hereto except for any items that are not capable of being determined at that time of reproration, which items shall be determined and paid promptly as soon as they are capable of being determined.  Prior to and following the Closing Date, each party shall provide the other with such information as the other shall reasonably request (including, without limitation, access to the books, records, files, ledgers, information and data with respect to the Property during normal business hours upon reasonable advance notice) in order to make the preliminary and final adjustments and prorations provided for herein.
9.5.10    Survival.  The provisions of this Section 9.5 shall survive Closing.
ARTICLE 10       DAMAGE AND CONDEMNATION


10.1    Damage.  If, prior to the Closing, all or any portion of the Property is damaged by fire or any other cause whatsoever, Seller shall promptly give Purchaser written notice of such damage.  
10.1.1    Minor Damage.  If the cost of restoring and repairing the portion the damaged Property to substantially its present condition is equal to or less than three percent (3%) of the Purchase Price (as reasonably estimated by such independent consultant), then Purchaser shall have no right to terminate this Agreement and shall purchase the Damaged Property in its damaged condition and be fully responsible for repair thereto, and at the Closing, Seller shall assign to Purchaser (to the extent assignable) all rights of Seller in and to the net proceeds of property insurance (including net proceeds for rent loss coverage) currently maintained by Seller, and Purchaser shall receive a credit against the Purchase Price in the amount of any deductible under such property insurance policy, but without any other claim or offset resulting from such destruction or damage; provided, however, that if the rights of Seller in and to such property insurance proceeds are not assignable to Purchaser, then Purchaser shall receive at Closing a credit against the Purchase Price in the amount of an independent third party good faith bid obtained from an independent consultant acceptable to by Purchaser and Seller for the restoration of the destruction or damage, less the amount of the insurance policy deductible credited as provided above. 
10.1.2    Major Damage.  If the cost of restoring and repairing the portion the damaged Property to substantially its present condition is more than three percent (3%) of the Purchase Price (as reasonably estimated by such independent consultant acceptable to Purchaser and Seller), then Purchaser shall have the option, to be exercised within ten (10) Business Days from the date of Purchaser's receipt of such estimate (or such shorter period as to permit Closing to occur not later than the Closing Date, time being strictly of the essence), to terminate this Agreement, in which event the Deposit paid shall be immediately refunded to Purchaser, and neither party hereto shall have any further duties, obligations or liabilities to the other, except as specifically provided herein. If Purchaser shall not elect to terminate this Agreement as provided in this Section 10.1.2, then this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect, and Purchaser shall purchase the Property in its damaged condition and be fully responsible for repair thereto, and at the Closing, Seller shall assign to Purchaser (to the extent assignable) all rights of Seller in and to the net proceeds of property insurance (including net proceeds of rent loss coverage) currently maintained by Seller, and Purchaser shall receive a 


18









credit against the Purchase Price in the amount of any deductible under such property insurance policy, but without any other claim or offset resulting from such destruction or damage; provided, however, that if the rights of Seller in and to such property insurance proceeds are not assignable to Purchaser, then Purchaser shall receive at Closing a credit against the Purchase Price in the amount of an independent third party good faith bid obtained from an independent consultant acceptable to by Purchaser and Seller for the restoration of the destruction or damage, less the amount of the insurance policy deductible credited as provided above. Seller shall not negotiate for or agree to an award or settlement without the approval of Purchaser.  
10.2    Condemnation and Eminent Domain.  If at any time prior to the Closing Date, there shall be a taking by eminent domain proceedings or the commencement of any such proceedings, with respect to a Property (the “Taken Property”), Seller shall promptly give written notice thereof to Purchaser, and, if such taking by eminent domain proceedings would result in a Material Change in the Taken Property, Purchaser shall have the right, at Purchaser's sole option, to terminate this Agreement by giving written notice to Seller within ten (10) Business Days after Purchaser receives written notice of such proceedings, in which event the Deposit paid shall be immediately refunded to Purchaser, and neither party hereto shall have any further duties, obligations or liabilities to the other, except as specifically provided herein.  A “Material Change” means a taking that would result in: (a) the Property not being in compliance with all laws, rules, and regulations, (b) a diminution in value of the Property or a cost to restore either Property of more than three percent (3%) of the Purchase Price of the Property allocated to the Taken Property as estimated by an independent consultant acceptable to Purchaser and Seller.  If Purchaser does not so terminate this Agreement, the Purchase Price for the Property shall be reduced by the total of any awards or other proceeds received by Seller (directly or indirectly) with respect to any such taking, and at the Closing, Seller shall assign to Purchaser all rights of Seller in and to any awards or other proceeds payable by reason of any taking. Seller shall not negotiate for or agree to an award or settlement without the approval of Purchaser. The Closing Date shall be postponed, as required, in order for the parties to obtain an estimate of the diminution in value or cost to restore and for Purchaser to have the stipulated time to exercise its option to terminate.
ARTICLE 11       REMEDIES AND ADDITIONAL COVENANTS


11.1    Seller Default At or Before Closing.  If Seller is in breach or default of any of its obligations or agreements hereunder when performance is required on or prior to the Closing Date, or if any of the representations contained in Section 6.1 should be false in any material respect (subject to the provisions of Section 8.4) and Purchaser shall become actually aware of same on or prior to the Closing Date and Purchaser shall not have waived its claims with regard to same pursuant to this Agreement, then Purchaser shall give Seller written notice of such breach or default on or prior to the Closing Date and Seller shall have ten (10) Business Days from the date of receipt of such notice to cure such breach or default and the Closing Date shall be extended accordingly.  If Seller fails to cure such breach or default within such ten (10) Business Day period, then Purchaser shall have the right, at its sole option and as its sole remedy, and Purchaser hereby waives its right to pursue any other remedy at law or in equity, and as Purchaser’s sole and exclusive remedy, Purchaser shall either (i) to terminate this Agreement by written notice to Seller and the Escrow Agent, in which event the Deposit shall be returned to Purchaser, whereupon neither party shall have any further rights, duties or obligations hereunder other than the obligations and rights set forth herein that expressly survive the termination of this Agreement, or (ii) to pursue specific performance of the obligations of Seller hereunder.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if specific performance is unavailable due to Seller’s conveyance of the Property to a third party in default of any of its obligations under this Agreement, then in addition to Purchaser’s remedies available under (ii) in this Section 11.1, Seller shall also reimburse Purchaser for its reasonable verified out-of-pocket expenses actually incurred with third parties in connection with the transaction contemplated under this Agreement, not to exceed Fifty Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($50,000.00). As a condition precedent to Purchaser’s exercising any right it may have to bring an action for specific performance hereunder, Purchaser must commence such action for specific performance within thirty (30) days after the scheduled Closing Date.  Purchaser agrees that its failure 


19









to timely commence such an action for specific performance within such thirty (30) day period shall be deemed a waiver by it of its right to commence an action for specific performance as well as a waiver by it of any right it may have to file or record a notice of lis pendens or notice of pendency of action or similar notice against the Property.  In no event shall Purchaser seek, or Seller be liable for, any damages to Purchaser, including, without limitation, punitive or consequential damages.  
11.2    Seller Default From and After Closing.  Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 6.4 of this Agreement, if Seller is in breach or default of any of its obligations or agreements hereunder that survive the Closing when performance is required, including, without limitation, any obligations or agreements under the documents delivered at Closing by Seller pursuant to Section 9.2.1 of this Agreement, or if any of the Express Representations should be false in any material respect and Purchaser shall first become actually aware of same after the Closing Date, then Purchaser shall give Seller written notice of such breach or default of such obligation, agreement or representation hereunder prior to the expiration of the applicable survival period of such breach or default and Seller shall have thirty (30) days from the date of receipt of such notice to cure such breach or default.  If Seller fails to cure such breach or default within such thirty (30) day period, and the reasonably estimated losses or damages sustained as a result of Seller’s failure or inability to perform any of its obligations, agreements or Express Representations hereunder exceed Twenty-Five Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($25,000.00), then Seller shall be liable for the actual direct damages suffered by Purchaser due to such uncured breach or default from the first dollar of loss.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, (i) in no event shall Seller be liable to Purchaser for damages in an aggregate amount in excess of Four Hundred Ninety-One Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($491,000.00) (the “Cap Amount”), (ii) Seller’s inability to satisfy a condition of this Agreement shall not be considered a default by Seller hereunder unless such inability results from the breach of any of Seller’s representations set forth in Section 6.1 or the breach of Seller’s express covenants and obligations hereunder, and (iii) if Purchaser has knowledge of a default by Seller on the Closing Date and Purchaser elects to close the transaction contemplated herein, Purchaser shall be deemed to have irrevocably waived such default and Seller shall not have any liability with respect to such default. 
11.3    Purchaser Default.  The parties acknowledge and agree that Seller should be entitled to compensation for any detriment suffered if Purchaser fails to consummate the purchase of the Property if and when required to do so under the terms of this Agreement, but agree that it would be extremely difficult to ascertain the extent of the actual detriment Seller would suffer as a result of such failure.  Consequently, if Purchaser fails to consummate the purchase of the Property on the Closing Date or fails to perform any of its other covenants in any material respect, or otherwise defaults in its obligations hereunder, then Seller shall be entitled to terminate this Agreement by giving written notice thereof to Purchaser prior to or at the Closing, in which event the Deposit shall be paid to Seller as fixed, agreed and liquidated damages, and, after the payment of the Deposit to Seller, neither Seller nor Purchaser will have any further rights or obligations under this Agreement, except for any obligations that expressly survive termination, except that Seller shall have the right to pursue an action against Purchaser for Seller’s actual damages suffered on account of a default by Purchaser under Sections 5.1.2, 12.2, and 15.17 of this Agreement; provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall constitute a waiver by Seller of any damages, rights or remedies which may be available to Seller against Purchaser at law or in equity by reason of the indemnity, defense or hold harmless obligations of Purchaser to Seller as set forth in this Agreement (other than Purchaser’s failure to consummate the purchase of the Property on the Closing Date for which Seller shall be paid the Deposit in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence), all of which are hereby expressly reserved by Seller; provided, however, nothing contained herein shall entitle Seller to consequential or punitive damages or any other sums in excess of Seller’s actual damages. 
11.4    Delivery of Materials.  Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, if this Agreement is terminated for any reason whatsoever, then Purchaser shall promptly deliver to Seller all Property Information provided to Purchaser by Seller, including copies thereof in any form whatsoever, including electronic form, along with any and all tests results and studies of the Property performed by or on behalf of 


20









Purchaser pursuant to Article 5, excluding any confidential or proprietary information or financial modeling.  The obligations of Purchaser under this Section 11.4 shall survive any termination of this Agreement.
ARTICLE 12       BROKERAGE COMMISSION


12.1    Brokers.  Seller represents and warrants to Purchaser that Seller has not contacted or entered into any agreement with any real estate broker, agent, finder, or any party in connection with this transaction, except for Rosebud Properties (“Seller’s Broker”) and that Seller has not taken any action which would result in any real estate broker’s or finder’s fees or commissions being due and payable to any party other than Seller’s Broker with respect to the transaction contemplated hereby.  Seller will be solely responsible for the payment of Seller’s Broker’s commission in accordance with the provisions of a separate agreement.  Purchaser hereby represents and warrants to Seller that Purchaser has not contracted or entered into any agreement with any real estate broker, agent, finder, or any party in connection with this transaction except for Hancock Real Estate Strategies (“Purchaser’s Broker”) and that Purchaser has not taken any action which would result in any real estate broker’s or finder’s fees or commissions being due or payable to any party with respect to the transaction contemplated hereby.  Purchaser will be solely responsible for the payment of Purchaser’s Broker’s commission in accordance with the provisions of a separate agreement.
12.2    Indemnity.  Each party hereby indemnifies and agrees to hold the other party harmless from and against any loss, liability, damage, cost, or expense (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) paid or incurred by the other party by reason of a breach of the representation and warranty made by such party under this Article 12.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the indemnities set forth in this Section 12.2 shall survive the Closing or earlier termination of this Agreement.  
ARTICLE 13       NOTICES


13.1    Written Notice.  All notices, demands and requests which may be given or which are required to be given by either party to the other party under this Agreement must be in writing.
13.2    Method of Transmittal.  All notices, demands, requests or other communications required or permitted to be given hereunder must be sent (i) by United States certified mail, postage fully prepaid, return receipt requested, (ii) by hand delivery, (iii) confirmed email (provided a copy of such notice is deposited with a nationally recognized overnight courier for next Business Day delivery), or (iv) by FedEx or a similar nationally recognized overnight courier service.  All such notices, demands, requests or other communications shall be deemed to have been given for all purposes of this Agreement upon the date of receipt or refusal, except that whenever under this Agreement a notice is either received on a day which is not a Business Day or is required to be delivered on or before a specific day which is not a Business Day, the day of receipt or required delivery shall automatically be extended to the next Business Day.

ARTICLE 14       ASSIGNMENT


Neither party shall have the right to assign this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other, which consent may be granted or withheld in the sole and absolute discretion of the party whose consent has been requested.  Seller hereby consents to an assignment at Closing by Purchaser of its interest in this Agreement to a wholly-owned subsidiary of Purchaser without further evidence of such subsidiary’s financial capability to consummate Closing hereunder, provided that such subsidiary shall assume, in writing (by execution of an assignment and assumption agreement satisfactory to Seller), all of Purchaser’s obligations under this Agreement.

15.9    Severability.  In the event that any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement (except the provisions relating to Seller’s obligations to convey the Property and Purchaser’s obligation to pay the Purchase Price, the invalidity of either of which shall cause this Agreement to be null and void) are held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability will not affect any other provisions hereof, and this Agreement shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal, or unenforceable provision had not been contained herein, provided, however, that the parties hereto shall endeavor in good faith to rewrite the affected provision to make it (i) valid, and (ii) consistent with the intent of the original provision.
15.10    Time of Essence.  Time is important to both Seller and Purchaser in the performance of this Agreement, and both parties have agreed that TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE with respect to any date set out in this Agreement.
15.11    Business Days.  “Business Day” means any day on which business is generally transacted by banks in the State of Florida.  If the final date of any period which is set out in any paragraph of this Agreement falls upon a day which is not a Business Day, then, and in such event, the time of such period will be extended to the next Business Day.
15.12    No Memorandum.  Purchaser and Seller agree not to record this Agreement or any memorandum hereof. 
15.13    Press Releases.  Prior to Closing, any release to the public of information with respect to the sale contemplated herein or any matters set forth in this Agreement will be made only in the form approved by Purchaser and Seller except for any disclosure that may be required by law or applicable regulation to be made to any applicable governmental or quasi-governmental authorities or to the public.  After the Closing has occurred, Seller and Purchaser shall each have the right to issue a press release regarding consummation of the transactions contemplated in this Agreement. 
15.14    Attorneys’ Fees and Costs.

15.16    Waiver of Jury Trial.

However, each party consents to any disclosure of this Agreement which the other party reasonably believes is required by law, by the public disclosure obligations required by the U.S. Securities Exchange Commission, or which is recommended in good faith by counsel to such other party.

15.20.1    Section 404.056(6), Florida Statutes, requires the following notice to be provided with respect to the contract for sale and purchase of any building:
RADON GAS:  Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that, when it has accumulated in a building in sufficient quantities, may present health risks to persons who are exposed to it over time.

As such, Seller agrees to cooperate with Purchaser in effectuating the Purchaser's Exchange, which cooperation may include the execution of documents, and the taking of other reasonable action, as is reasonably necessary, in the opinion of Purchaser, to accomplish the Purchaser's Exchange; provided, however that Seller shall not be required to assume any additional expense or liability in connection with, or as part of its cooperation with, the Purchaser's Exchange, nor shall Seller be required to extend the Closing or take title to any property except as otherwise set forth herein.  Purchaser expressly reserves the right to assign its rights, but not its obligations, hereunder to a qualified exchange intermediary, as Qualified Intermediary is provided in IRC Reg. 1.103l(k)-(l)(g)(4), on or before the relevant transfer of the property, as defined under state law.
