Buyer’s indemnity and hold harmless obligations shall survive COE for a period of one (1) year.
15.    RENTS AND DEPOSITS.  Seller and Buyer agree that, in addition to all other conditions and covenants contained herein, Seller shall deliver to Buyer and Escrow Agent not later than the day immediately prior to COE information, certified by Seller to be true and accurate as of the date thereof and as of the date of COE, with respect to (i) the amount of Tenant’s security deposit under the Leases, if any, and (ii) prepaid and/or abated rents, including, without limitation, the amount thereof and the date to which such rents have been paid.

16.    BROKER’S COMMISSION.  Concerning any brokerage commission, the Parties agree as follows:
(a)    the Parties warrant to one another that they have not dealt with any finder, broker or realtor in connection with this Agreement;
         (b)    if any person shall assert a claim to a finder’s fee or brokerage commission on account of alleged employment as a finder or broker in connection with this Agreement, the Party under whom the finder or broker is claiming shall indemnify and hold the other Party harmless from and against any such claim and all costs, expenses and liabilities incurred in connection with such claim or any action or proceeding brought on such claim, including, but not limited to, counsel and witness fees and court costs in defending against such claim.  The provisions of this subsection shall survive cancellation of this Agreement or COE; and
(c)     Seller shall be responsible for payment of a commission to Broker pursuant to a separate written agreement between Seller and Broker, which commission shall be paid at COE.
17.    CLOSE OF ESCROW.  COE shall be on or before 5:00 p.m. MST on the fifth (5th) day after the expiration of the Study Period or such earlier date as Buyer may choose by giving written notice thereof to Seller and Escrow Agent (such date, the “Closing Date”).  Buyer may extend the Closing Date for up to an additional thirty (30) days upon delivery of written notice to extend the Closing Date to Escrow Agent prior to the original Closing Date and by depositing an additional Seventy Five Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($75,000.00) of earnest money with Escrow Agent.  For purposes of this Agreement, any additional earnest money deposited with Escrow Agent pursuant to this Section 17 shall be added to and become a part of the Earnest Money Deposit.


18.    ASSIGNMENT.  This Agreement may not be assigned by Seller without the prior written consent of Buyer which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.   Buyer may assign its rights under this Agreement to an affiliate of Buyer without seeking or obtaining Seller’s consent. Such assignment shall not become effective until the assignee executes an instrument whereby such assignee expressly assumes all unperformed obligations of Buyer under this Agreement.  Buyer may also designate someone other than Buyer, as grantee under the Transfer Documents, by providing written notice of such designation at least five (5) days prior to COE.  Such assignment shall not become effective until the assignee executes an instrument whereby such assignee expressly assumes all unperformed obligations of Buyer under this Agreement.  No assignment shall release or otherwise relieve Buyer from any obligations hereunder; provided, however, with respect to any assignment, if COE occurs the assigning party (but not the assignee) shall be relieved of all its obligations arising under this Agreement before, on and after COE.
19.    RISK OF LOSS.  Seller shall bear all risk of loss resulting from or related to damage of or to the Property or any part thereof which may occur prior to COE.  Seller shall also bear all risk of loss resulting from or related to a taking or condemnation of the Property or any part thereof with respect to which written notice of a proposed condemnation or taking is received, a condemnation proceeding is commenced, a condemnation proceeding is concluded or all or any part of the Property is conveyed in lieu of condemnation prior to COE (any such damage, taking or condemnation event a “Risk of Loss Event”).  In the event of any Risk of Loss Event prior to 

13
Purchase Agreement and Escrow Instructions
Tractor Supply Company – Midland, NC






COE, Buyer may, at Buyer’s sole option, by written notice to Seller and Escrow Agent, terminate this Agreement, whereupon the Earnest Money Deposit shall be paid immediately to Buyer and, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, neither of the Parties shall have any further liability or obligation hereunder..  In the alternative, Buyer may attempt to negotiate an appropriate downward adjustment of the Purchase Price.  If Seller and Buyer cannot agree upon such a downward adjustment within a reasonable period (not to exceed ten (10) days from the date Buyer receives notice of the Risk of Loss Event) Buyer may terminate this Agreement as provided above.  In the event of any Risk of Loss Event which does not result in a termination of this Agreement, Seller shall at COE and as a condition precedent thereto, pay Buyer or credit Buyer against the Purchase Price the amount of any insurance or condemnation proceeds, or assign to Buyer, as of COE and in a form acceptable to Buyer, all rights or claims for relief to the same, and credit to Buyer an amount equal to the deductible (if any) under the insurance policy.  


20.    REMEDIES.
(a)    Seller’s Breach.  If Seller breaches this Agreement, including, without limitation, a breach of any representation or warranty of Seller set forth herein and/or the failure of Seller to satisfy any conditions precedent to COE specified in Section 12 above that are within Seller’s control (each, a “Seller’s Breach”), Buyer may, at Buyer’s sole option, either:  (i) by written notice to Seller and Escrow Agent, cancel this Agreement whereupon the Earnest Money Deposit shall be paid immediately by Escrow Agent to Buyer, Seller shall promptly reimburse to Buyer its reasonable out-of-pocket and third-party property diligence expenses incurred with respect to the Property, and, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, neither of the Parties shall have any further liability or obligation hereunder, or (ii) seek specific performance against Seller in which event COE shall be automatically extended as necessary.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if specific performance is unavailable as a remedy to Buyer with respect to the Property because Seller has conveyed or transferred the Property to a third party in breach of this Agreement, Buyer shall be entitled to pursue all rights and remedies available at law or in equity.  Seller hereby acknowledges and agrees that the provisions of this Section 20(a) shall not limit any rights or remedies Buyer may have against Seller after COE pursuant to the indemnification under Section 16 or for any misrepresentation, breach of warranty or default by Seller in any of its obligations under this Agreement, the Transfer Documents or any other documents to be entered into pursuant to this Agreement.


(b)    Buyer’s Breach.  If Buyer breaches this Agreement, as its sole remedy Seller shall be entitled to retain the Earnest Money Deposit in accordance with subsection 5(b) as Seller’s agreed and total liquidated damages.  Seller hereby waives any right to seek any equitable or legal remedies against Buyer.
21.    ATTORNEYS’ FEES.  If there is any litigation to enforce any provisions or rights arising under this Agreement, the unsuccessful party in such litigation, as determined by the court, agrees to pay the successful party, as determined by the court, all costs and expenses, including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred by the successful party, such fees to be determined by the court.  For purposes of this Section 21, a party will be considered to be the “successful party” if (a) such party initiated the litigation and substantially obtained the relief which it sought (whether by judgment, voluntary agreement or action of the other party, trial, or alternative 

14
Purchase Agreement and Escrow Instructions
Tractor Supply Company – Midland, NC






dispute resolution process), (b) such party did not initiate the litigation and either (i) received a judgment in its favor, or (ii) did not receive judgment in its favor, but the party receiving the judgment did not substantially obtain the relief which it sought, or (c) the other party to the litigation withdrew its claim or action without having substantially received the relief which it was seeking.
22.    NOTICES.  
 (a)    Addresses.  Except as otherwise required by law, any notice required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and shall be given by personal delivery, or by deposit in the U.S. Mail, certified or registered, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, addressed to the Parties at the addresses set forth below, or at such other address as a Party may designate in writing pursuant hereto, or any express or overnight delivery service (e.g., Federal Express), delivery charges prepaid:

If escrow has opened, a copy of any notice given to a party shall also be given to Escrow Agent by regular U.S. Mail or by any other method provided for herein.
23.    CLOSING COSTS.  
(a)    Closing Costs.  Seller and Buyer agree to pay closing costs as indicated in this Agreement and in the escrow instructions attached hereto as Exhibit F, and by this reference incorporated herein (the “Escrow Instructions”).  At COE, Seller shall pay (i) the costs of releasing all liens, judgments, and other encumbrances that are to be released and of recording such releases, (ii) one-half the fees and costs due Escrow Agent for its services, (iii) the transfer tax associated with the sale of the Property, if any, and (iv) all other costs to be paid by Seller under this Agreement.  At COE, Buyer shall pay (i) one-half the fees and costs due Escrow Agent for its services, (ii) all other costs to be paid by Buyer under this Agreement, and (iii) the cost of the Survey.  Except as otherwise provided for in this Agreement, Seller and Buyer will each be solely responsible for and bear all of their own respective expenses, including, without limitation, expenses of legal counsel, accountants, and other advisors incurred at any time in connection with pursuing or consummating the transaction contemplated herein.  
(b)    Prorations.  Real estate taxes shall be prorated based upon the current valuation and latest available tax rates.  All prorations shall be calculated through escrow as of COE based upon the latest available information, including, without limitation, a credit to Buyer for any rent prepaid by Tenant for the period beginning with and including the date on which the closing 

16
Purchase Agreement and Escrow Instructions
Tractor Supply Company – Midland, NC






occurs through and including the last day of the month in which the closing occurs.  All other credits to Buyer shall be similarly prorated.  If COE is on or after the 20th day of the calendar month in which COE occurs, the monthly base rent due to Buyer under the terms of the Leases for the full calendar month of the month following the day on which COE occurs (the “Initial Rent”) shall be credited to Buyer at COE (and, in such event, Tenant shall pay the Initial Rent to Seller and, notwithstanding the terms of the Leases, shall not be obligated to make a payment for the Initial Rent to Buyer).  Any other closing costs not specifically designated as the responsibility of either Party in the Escrow Instructions or in this Agreement shall be paid by Seller and Buyer according to the usual and customary allocation of the same by Escrow Agent.  Seller agrees that all closing costs payable by Seller shall be deducted from Seller’s proceeds otherwise payable to Seller at COE.  Buyer shall deposit with Escrow Agent sufficient cash to pay all of Buyer’s closing costs.  Except as provided in this Section 23, Seller and Buyer shall each bear their own costs in regard to this Agreement.  
(c)    Post-Closing Adjustment.  If after COE, the parties discover any errors in adjustments and apportionments or additional information becomes available which would render the closing prorations inaccurate, the same shall be corrected as soon after their discovery as possible.  The provision of this Section 23(c) shall survive COE except that no adjustment shall be made later than twelve (12) months after COE unless prior to such date the Party seeking the adjustment shall have delivered a written notice to the other Party specifying the nature and basis for such claim; provided, however, in the event an adjustment is sought due to the fact that current tax bills with respect to the Property have not yet been issued as of COE, the provisions of this Section 23(c) shall survive with respect to any closing proration of real property taxes until thirty (30) days after Buyer’s receipt of tax bills for the period of time during which COE occurred.  In the event that such claim is valid, the Party against whom the claim is sought shall have ten (10) days in which to remit any adjustment due.
(d)    Instructions.  This Agreement, together with the Escrow Instructions, shall constitute escrow instructions for the transaction contemplated herein.  Such escrow instructions shall be construed as applying principally to Escrow Agent’s employment.
(e)    Survival.  The provisions of this Section 23 shall survive COE.
24.    ESCROW CANCELLATION CHARGES.  If escrow fails to close because of Seller’s default, Seller shall be liable for any cancellation charges of Escrow Agent.  If escrow fails to close because of Buyer’s default, Buyer shall be liable for any cancellation charges of Escrow Agent.  If escrow fails to close for any other reason, Seller and Buyer shall each be liable for one-half of any cancellation charges of Escrow Agent.  The provisions of this Section 24 shall survive cancellation of this Agreement.
25.    APPROVALS.  Concerning all matters in this Agreement requiring the consent or approval of any Party, the Parties agree that any such consent or approval shall not be unreasonably withheld unless otherwise provided in this Agreement.  
26.    RELEASES.  Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, Seller and anyone claiming through Seller hereby releases Tenant from any and all claims of whatever kind or nature, 

17
Purchase Agreement and Escrow Instructions
Tractor Supply Company – Midland, NC






in law or equity, whether now known or unknown to Seller, whether contingent or matured, that Seller may now have or hereafter acquire against Tenant for any costs, loss, liability, damage, expenses, demand, action or cause of action arising from or related to any of the Leases arising from events occurring prior to COE.
27.    ADDITIONAL ACTS.  The Parties agree to execute promptly such other documents and to perform such other acts as may be reasonably necessary to carry out the purpose and intent of this Agreement.
28.    GOVERNING LAW.  This Agreement shall be governed by and construed or enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of North Carolina.  
29.    CONSTRUCTION.  The terms and provisions of this Agreement represent the results of negotiations among the Parties, each of which has been represented by counsel of its own choosing, and neither of which has acted under any duress or compulsion, whether legal, economic or otherwise.  Consequently, the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall be interpreted and construed in accordance with their usual and customary meanings, and the Parties each hereby waive the application of any rule of law which would otherwise be applicable in connection with the interpretation and construction of this Agreement that ambiguous or conflicting terms or provisions contained in this Agreement shall be interpreted or construed against the Party whose attorney prepared the executed Agreement or any earlier draft of the same.
30.    TIME OF ESSENCE.  Time is of the essence of this Agreement.  However, if this Agreement requires any act to be done or action to be taken on a date which is a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday, such act or action shall be deemed to have been validly done or taken if done or taken on the next succeeding day which is not a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday, and the successive periods shall be deemed extended accordingly.
31.    INTERPRETATION.  If there is any specific and direct conflict between, or any ambiguity resulting from, the terms and provisions of this Agreement and the terms and provisions of any document, instrument or other agreement executed in connection herewith or in furtherance hereof, including any Exhibits hereto, the same shall be consistently interpreted in such manner as to give effect to the general purposes and intention as expressed in this Agreement which shall be deemed to prevail and control.
32.    HEADINGS.  The headings of this Agreement are for reference only and shall not limit or define the meaning of any provision of this Agreement.  
33.    FAX AND COUNTERPARTS.  This Agreement may be executed by facsimile, by email (in “.pdf” format) and/or in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed an original, and all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
34.    INCORPORATION OF EXHIBITS BY REFERENCE.  All Exhibits to this Agreement are fully incorporated herein as though set forth at length herein.

35.    SEVERABILITY.  If any provision of this Agreement is unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall nevertheless be kept in effect.
36.    ENTIRE AGREEMENT.  This Agreement contains the entire agreement between the Parties and supersedes all prior agreements, oral or written, with respect to the subject matter hereof.  The provisions of this Agreement shall be construed as a whole and not strictly for or against any Party.
37.    INDEMNITY.      Seller shall indemnify, hold harmless and defend Buyer, Buyer’s affiliates, the partners, trustees, shareholders, directors, officers, attorneys, employees and agents of each of them, and their respective heirs, successors, personal representatives and assigns (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”) from any and all demands, claims (including, without limitation, causes of action in tort), legal or administrative proceedings, losses, liabilities, damages, penalties, fines, liens, judgments, costs or expenses whatsoever (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and costs), whether direct or indirect, known or unknown, foreseen or unforeseen (collectively, “Claims”) that may arise on account of or in any way be connected with any actions, suits, proceedings or claims brought by third parties against Buyer (a) relating to any actual or alleged events, acts or omissions occurring with respect to the Property prior to COE, and/or (b) based upon Buyer’s ownership of the Property but with respect to which the claimed loss, damage or injury occurred prior to COE.  Buyer shall indemnify, hold harmless and defend Seller, Seller’s affiliates, the partners, trustees, shareholders, directors, officers, attorneys, employees and agents of each of them, and their respective heirs, successors, personal representatives and assigns from any and all Claims that may arise on account of or in any way be connected with any actions, suits, proceedings or claims brought by third parties against Seller (y) relating to any actual or alleged events, acts or omissions occurring with respect to the Property from and after COE, and/or (z) based upon Seller’s ownership of the Property but with respect to which the claimed loss, damage or injury occurred from and after COE.  The provisions of this Section 37 shall survive COE.
38.    PRIVILEGE TAXES.  Seller represents, warrants and covenants to Buyer that all state and local transaction privilege, sales, excise, use or similar taxes relating to the development, sale or rental of the Property (including, without limitation any speculative builder tax, owner-builder tax, or construction contractor tax) have been paid and Seller shall pay any such taxes that may arise as a result of the sale of the Property to Buyer as and when due.  Seller shall indemnify, hold harmless and defend the Indemnified Parties from any and all Claims relating to a breach of the preceding sentence.  The provisions of this Section shall survive COE.  


39.    SEC S-X 3-14 Audit.  In order to enable Buyer to comply with the reporting requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), Seller agrees to provide Buyer and its representatives information sufficient for Buyer to comply with SEC Rule 3-14 of Regulation S-X, including Seller's most current financial statements relating to the financial operation of the Property for the current fiscal year and the most recent pre-acquisition fiscal year, and upon request, support for certain operating revenues and expenses specific to the Property (collectively, the “SEC Filing Information”).  Seller understands that certain of the SEC Filing Information may be included in filings required to be made by Buyer with the SEC.  Seller will cooperate in providing data and by being available to answer questions with respect to its records 

19
Purchase Agreement and Escrow Instructions
Tractor Supply Company – Midland, NC






as they arise, both before and after the expiration of the Study Period. This Section 39 shall survive Closing for a period of one (1) year.
40.    TENANT AUDIT RIGHT.  In the event that Tenant has the right to inspect and audit the books, records and other documents of the landlord under the Lease which evidence the purchase price of the Real Property, the development and construction costs of the Improvements, and/or common area maintenance costs and expenses,  Seller hereby covenants and agrees that it shall retain such books, records and other documents which will enable Tenant to conduct a full and complete audit thereof until the date that is six (6) months after the latest date that Tenant could demand an inspection and/or audit thereof pursuant to the Lease and, upon written request therefore from Buyer, or any successor or assign, thereof, shall provide both Buyer and Tenant with reasonable access thereto and otherwise reasonably cooperate with both Buyer and Tenant with respect to such inspection and/or audit by Tenant.
