	8.	NO ASSUMPTION OF LIABILITIES 


The parties acknowledge that the purchase and sale of the Property involves only the purchase and sale of the Property and that Seller is
not selling a business nor do the parties intend that Purchaser be deemed a successor of Seller with respect to any liabilities of Seller to any third parties other than the tenants under the Leases with respect to obligations of the landlord
thereunder accruing from and after Closing. Accordingly, Purchaser shall neither assume nor be liable for the Seller Debts, whether existing now, upon Closing or at any time thereafter, which shall be solely those of Seller, and Seller hereby agrees
to indemnify Purchaser against any liability with respect thereto. 

  
 10 










	9.	DEFAULT 

 9.1. If Purchaser defaults in the performance of any of its obligations and/or covenants hereunder for in excess of 10 days after written notice thereof to Purchaser, provided that Seller is not then in
default hereunder, Seller’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be to terminate this Agreement, in which event (i) this Agreement shall terminate and be of no further force or effect, and (ii) the Deposit shall be delivered to Seller as
liquidated damages. However, Seller may not enforce such remedy against Purchaser (a) if Seller is in default under this Agreement, or (b) unless Purchaser fails to cure such default within 10 days after receipt of written notice from
Seller specifying that Purchaser is in default. 
 9.2. If Seller defaults in the performance of any of its obligations and/or
covenants hereunder for in excess of 10 days after written notice thereof to Seller (provided that, such 10 day cure period shall be inapplicable in the event of a default hereunder involving a breach of any of the Representations), provided that
Purchaser is not then in default hereunder, Purchaser’s remedy on account thereof shall be either (i) the termination of this Agreement upon written notice thereof to Seller, in which case the Deposit shall be promptly refunded to
Purchaser and neither party shall thereafter have any further liability or obligation hereunder, or (ii) Purchaser may seek the specific performance of Seller’s obligations under this Agreement from a court of competent jurisdiction. To
the extent any such default involves a default of any of Seller’s covenants set forth in Sections 4.1 and 4.2 hereof and/or a default of such a nature that Purchaser shall be precluded from obtaining specific performance (e.g., Seller conveys
the Property to a bona fide third party who takes without knowledge of this Agreement), then, in the event of termination of this Agreement by Purchaser, in addition to the return of the Deposit to Purchaser, Seller shall, within two business days
thereafter, pay to Purchaser, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, the sum of (i) an amount equal to all third party out of pocket costs and expenses incurred by Purchaser in connection with the transaction contemplated hereby, and
(ii) an amount equal to the amount of the Deposit, the same being deemed Purchaser’s damages on account thereof, the exact amount of damages to be suffered by Purchaser on account of any such default being difficult if not impossible to
ascertain and Purchaser and Seller agreeing that such amount is a reasonable approximation of the damages to be suffered by Purchaser on account thereof. 
  

	10.	CASUALTY 

 If any improvements on the Property are damaged or destroyed by fire, storm or other casualty on or before Closing and/or there has been a Material Adverse Change on or prior to Closing to such an extent
that one or more tenants shall have the right to terminate their Leases, then, anything herein contained to the contrary, Purchaser may terminate this Agreement within 15 days after receiving notice of such casualty or Material Adverse Change upon
notice to Seller, in which event (i) this Agreement shall terminate and be of no further force or effect, (ii) the Deposit shall be returned to Purchaser, and (iii) neither party shall have any further liability or obligation
hereunder. 
 If any improvements on the Property are damaged but such damage does not, pursuant to this paragraph, give
Purchaser the right to terminate this Agreement, or if Purchaser has the right to terminate but elects not to do so, then, at Closing, Purchaser shall be entitled to receive an absolute assignment from Seller of Seller’s interest in the
proceeds of any insurance on the Property (including any rent loss insurance allocable to the period from and after Closing) and Seller shall pay to Purchaser the amount of any deductible. 

 

	11.	CONDEMNATION 

 If notice of any action, suit or proceeding shall be given prior to Closing for the purpose of condemning any part of the Property, and as a result thereof any of the tenants of the Property have the


  
 11 









 
right to terminate their Leases, and/or any action, suit or proceeding shall be given prior to Closing for the purpose of condemning any portion of the parking areas of the Property, and/or in
the event that any of the vehicular access points into the Property shall be impeded in any material way either through the condemnation (or the tendering of a deed in lieu thereof) of any such access points or through the closure or material
reduction in the utility of any of the roadways adjoining the Property or in proximity to the Property (e.g., the reduction of the number of lanes within a roadway servicing the Property or the actual closure of any such roadway), then Purchaser may
terminate this Agreement within 15 days after receiving notice of such casualty upon notice to Seller, in which event (i) this Agreement shall terminate and be of no further force or effect, (ii) the Deposit shall be returned to Purchaser,
and (iii) neither party shall have any further liability or obligation hereunder; but if Purchaser does not elect to terminate this Agreement, then in the event of Closing, the proceeds of such condemnation shall be assigned and shall belong to
Purchaser. 
  

	12.	BROKER 

 Each party represents and warrants to the other that they have not dealt with a real estate broker or finder in connection with the purchase and sale of the Property, other than Broker. In the event of
Closing, Seller shall pay Broker a commission pursuant to a separate written agreement between Seller and Broker. Broker shall not disclose the Purchase Price paid hereunder to any third party, including any multi-list. Purchaser shall indemnify
Seller against any liability for brokerage commissions, finders’ fees or the like (collectively, “Commissions”) arising from the purchase of the Property that may be claimed by any party alleging to have been retained or utilized by
Purchaser, with the exception of Commissions payable to Broker. Seller shall indemnify Purchaser against any liability for Commissions arising in connection with the sale of the Property which may be claimed by any party alleging to have been
retained or utilized by Seller, including Commissions owing by Seller to Broker. Broker shall be deemed a third party beneficiary of this Section. 
  

	13.	NOTICES 

 Notices shall be deemed given hereunder upon personal delivery, upon depositing any such notice with postage prepaid in a United States mailbox if sent via certified mail, return receipt requested, upon
depositing any such notice in the custody of a nationally recognized overnight delivery service or upon telecopy or electronic mail if a copy thereof is simultaneously sent via one of the other methods of delivery. Notices may be given by and/or to
counsel for the parties. Notices shall be deemed properly addressed if sent to the following addresses:

prior to Closing and any interim period during the fiscal year in which the Closing occurs (the “Financial Information”). Following the Closing, Seller agrees to use its commercially reasonably efforts to cooperate with Purchaser
and its representatives and agents in the preparation of the Financial Information; provided, however, Seller shall not be required to incur any out of pocket expenses or costs unless Purchaser reimburses Seller for the same. Seller shall maintain

capital structure or debt, (b) Seller’s financial analyses or projections, investment analyses, account summaries or other documents prepared solely for Seller’s internal purposes and not directly related to the operation of the
Property, (c) Seller’s tax returns or (d) financial statements of Seller or any affiliate of Seller (other than Property-level financial statements). Purchaser acknowledges Purchaser may not use the results of its review under

hereunder except for such liabilities and obligations that are expressly stated herein to survive termination of this Agreement.
