SECTION 2 - PURCHASE PRICE.  Buyer agrees to pay Seller, as the purchase price for the Property, the sum of Seventy-Nine Million Five Hundred Fifty-Five Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($79,555,000.00) ("Purchase Price").  The Purchase Price shall be paid as follows:


 


(a)           Within two (2) business days after the Effective Date of this Agreement, Buyer shall deposit One Million Two Hundred Sixty Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($1,260,000.00) with the Escrow Agent (as hereinafter defined) in escrow as an earnest money deposit ("Earnest Deposit").

(b)           Buyer shall deliver the Purchase Price, less the Earnest Deposit and the credits authorized to Buyer in accordance with Section 5.1, in immediately available funds, in escrow with the Escrow Agent on or prior to the Closing Date (as hereinafter defined).


 


SECTION 3 - ESCROW AND TITLE INSURANCE.


 


3.1 -  Escrow Agent.  The parties hereto designate Chicago Title Insurance Company, 711 Third Avenue, New York, New York 10117, Attn: Matthew Bliwise, (212) 880-1401, bliwisem@ctt.com as the escrow agent ("Escrow Agent") in connection with this transaction.  This Agreement shall serve as escrow instructions and shall be subject to the usual conditions of acceptance of the Escrow Agent, insofar as the same are not inconsistent with any of the terms hereof.  By execution of this Agreement, the Escrow Agent agrees that the Earnest Deposit
shall be held as a deposit under this Agreement in an interest-bearing account and:  (i) applied against the Purchase Price if Closing occurs; or (ii) delivered to Seller or Buyer, in accordance with written instructions jointly executed by Seller and Buyer, if Closing does not occur.  Interest on the Earnest Deposit shall be added to and deemed part of the Earnest Deposit.


 


3.2 -  Title/Survey.


 


(a)           As of the Effective Date, Buyer confirms it has received from Chicago Title Insurance Company, 711 Third Avenue, New York, New York, Attn: Matthew Bliwise ("Title Company"),  a commitment ("Commitment") to issue an ALTA Owner’s Policy of Title Insurance Form (ALTA 2006) in an amount equal to the Purchase Price ("Title Policy").  Buyer shall have the right to order and obtain, at its sole cost and expense, a survey of the Real Property
("Survey").  In the event Buyer desires to obtain a Survey, then Buyer shall place its order for the Survey within five (5) days after the Effective Date.  The Survey shall be certified to Seller, Buyer and the Title Company.  The Survey shall be in form and substance sufficient to delete the standard survey exception from the Title Policy.  On or before the Closing Date, Seller shall execute and deliver to the Title Company Seller's customary form of owner's affidavit which will enable the Title Company to delete the other standard printed exceptions other than the survey exception from the Title Policy (the "Owner's Title Affidavit").  It shall be a condition precedent to Buyer’s obligation to purchase the Property that
the Title Company can and will, on the Closing Date, issue the Title Policy in accordance with the Commitment and subject only to the Permitted Exceptions (as hereinafter defined).

(b)           Buyer shall give written notice to Seller no less than five (5) days after the Effective Date ("Buyer's Objection Notice"), specifying objection(s) to those items shown on the Commitment reasonably objected to by Buyer ("Title Defects"), and those encroachments or other matters shown on the Survey reasonably objected to by Buyer ("Survey Defects"; Title Defects and Survey Defects shall be collectively known as
"Objections").  Within five (5) business days following receipt of Buyer’s Objection Notice, Seller shall notify Buyer in writing ("Seller's Title Response Notice") of those Objections which Seller intends to cure at or prior to Closing ("Cure Items").  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall be under no obligation to cure any Objections other than a Monetary Lien (as hereinafter defined).  If Seller identifies any Cure Items in Seller's Title Response Notice, then Seller shall proceed to satisfy the Cure Items at or prior to Closing.  If Seller is unable to satisfy the Cure Items at or prior to Closing despite Seller's commercially reasonable efforts, then Seller, by
providing written notice to Buyer, shall have a period of not more than fifteen (15) additional days after the proposed Closing Date in which to cause the Cure Items to be satisfied, in which case the Closing Date shall be automatically extended to the extent necessary to enable Seller to so satisfy the Cure Items.  If Seller fails to deliver Seller's Title Response Notice within the aforementioned five (5)-business day period, then Seller shall be deemed to have elected not to cure any of the Objections.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Seller, at Seller's sole cost and expense, shall be required to use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain documents from third parties to discharge or have the Title Company insure over and remove such items from the Title Policy such as mortgages, deeds of trusts, financing statements and other instruments
created by Seller and evidencing or securing the repayment of existing debt, judgment liens and other liens of a liquidated amount evidencing a monetary obligation (excluding liens for real estate taxes and assessments (both general and special) not due and payable) (collectively, "Monetary Liens"), regardless of whether or not Buyer has notified Seller of Buyer’s objection thereto. Failure of Buyer to object to a Monetary Lien shall in no event be deemed a waiver of Buyer’s right to require Seller to remove such Monetary Lien. Seller may use proceeds of the Purchase Price to satisfy or remove such Monetary Liens at Closing.


 


(c)           Within three (3) business days of receipt of Seller's Title Response Notice, Buyer shall elect to do one of the following: (i) waive the Objections that Seller has not designated as Cure Items and proceed to acquire the Property without any abatement of the Purchase Price and take title to the Real Property subject to such Objections; or (ii) terminate this Agreement, by written notice to Seller and to the Escrow Agent, in which event Escrow Agent shall return the Earnest Deposit to Buyer and the parties shall be released from all obligations hereunder except those obligations that expressly survive pursuant to the terms of
this Agreement.  If Buyer fails to timely make any such election, then Buyer shall be deemed to have elected to purchase the Property pursuant to the foregoing clause (i).

and other similar matters of record shown on the Commitment, which are approved or deemed approved by Buyer pursuant to Section 3.2 herein; (iii) zoning and building ordinances; (iv) those matters shown on the Survey other than uncured Survey Defects that constitute Cure Items; and (v) the rights of tenants in possession as tenants only ("Tenants").

At the time of the final calculation and collection from Tenants of Tenant Contributions, whether in the nature of a reconciliation payment or full payment, in arrears, there shall be a reproration between Buyer and Seller as to the Tenant Contributions not later than

(c)           Percentage rent, if any, shall be prorated between Buyer and Seller by utilizing the percentage rent payable for such lease year based upon the actual days of ownership of the Property.  There shall be no adjustment for percentage rent payments until after the receipt of any percentage rent payments made by the respective Tenants.  Percentage rent payments shall be reprorated for each Tenant promptly after receipt of the final annual sales report and percentage rent payment from such Tenant for the lease year in which the Proration Date occurs, but in no event shall such reproration occur later than the

(d)           Any amounts received from Tenants after Closing shall be applied on a Tenant-by-Tenant basis in the following order:  (i)  first, on account of any amount currently due Buyer from such Tenant(s); (ii)  next, to Buyer for Buyer’s actual out-of-pocket costs, if any, of collection of such amounts; and (iii) on the account of any amount due Seller.  Any of the foregoing amounts due to Seller shall be paid not later than the Outside Reproration Date.  Seller shall have no right to seek judgments or other relief against Tenants after Closing without the Buyer’s prior

(f)           Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Seller represents and warrants that all real estate taxes and assessments ("Taxes") for the Property currently due and payable for the calendar year 2011 and for all prior years have been paid prior to the date hereof.  Any portion of the Taxes for the calendar year 2011 not yet due and payable and for which Tenants are not responsible under the Leases ("Landlord’s Portion of Taxes") shall be prorated between Seller and Buyer based upon the actual days
of ownership of the parties for the year in which Closing occurs utilizing the most recent ascertainable tax bill(s).  Seller and Buyer agree to reprorate Landlord’s Portion of Taxes upon Buyer’s receipt of the actual tax bill for the tax year in question, if any, but in no event shall such reproration occur after the Outside Reproration Date.  All refunds of Taxes resulting from any real property tax appeal for the tax year in which the Proration Date occurs shall be:  (i)  allocated to amounts to be rebated to Tenants if required by a Lease and only to the extent so required, and the amount so allocated shall be forwarded to Buyer and Buyer agrees to promptly rebate the amount due to such Tenants; (ii)  allocated to Seller to the extent that the amount refunded (and not allocated to amounts to be rebated to Tenants) is
attributable to periods prior to the Proration Date, and such allocated amounts are to be held and/or distributed as specified in Section 5.1(i); and (iii)  payable to Buyer to the extent that the amount refunded (and not allocated to amounts to be rebated to Tenants) is attributable to periods commencing after the Proration Date.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer shall receive a credit from Seller for all sums representing contributions of Taxes received by Seller or its agents from any Tenants and attributable to any period prior to the Proration Date, which have not been applied toward the payment of Taxes.

utility services is not determined (or cannot be reasonably determined) prior to the Proration Date, a proration shall be made at Closing based on the last available reading and post-closing adjustments between Buyer and Seller shall be made within twenty (20) days of the date that actual consumption for such pre-Closing period is determined.  Seller shall not assign to Buyer any deposits which Seller has with any of the utility services or companies servicing the Real Property.  Buyer shall arrange with such services and companies to have accounts opened in Buyer’s name beginning at 12:01 a.m. on the Closing Date.

-9-











  






 


(b)           Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain estoppel certificates from each of the Tenants under the Leases (the "Tenant Estoppel Certificates").  It shall be a condition precedent to Buyer's obligation to close the transactions contemplated by this Agreement that, not later than five (5) days prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall have delivered to Buyer Tenant Estoppel Certificates received by Seller, in substantially in the form set forth in EXHIBIT K, or in such alternative
form set forth in the Tenant's Lease, from: (i) Party City, Ulta, Justice, Old Navy, Arhaus, Cost Plus, Office Max, TJ Maxx, Big Lots, Best Buy, Joann Stores, and Kroger (individually, a "Key Tenant"); and (ii) Tenants comprising not less than eighty percent (80%) of the remaining open and occupied net rentable square feet of the Property (i and ii collectively, the "Estoppel Threshold"), which shall be dated not earlier than sixty (60) days before the Closing Date; provided, however, that in no event shall Seller be required to obtain a Tenant Estoppel Certificate from any Tenant that is the subject of a bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding.  The Tenant Estoppel Certificates shall not allege the existence of any default by Seller or any unperformed obligation of
Seller, or recite any material fact that contradicts any of Seller's representations and warranties.  Seller shall have the right to deliver a certificate signed by Seller in lieu of a Tenant Estoppel Certificate in the form set forth in EXHIBIT L ("Seller’s Lease Certificate") with respect to the Lease of any Tenant that is not a Key Tenant or an Anchor Store (as hereinafter defined); provided, however, that in the aggregate, Buyer shall not be required to accept Seller’s Lease Certificates with respect to Leases which in the aggregate total in excess of 5% of the remaining open and occupied net rentable square feet of the Property excluding Anchor Stores and all Key Tenants.  Notwithstanding the forgoing, in no event shall Seller have
the ability to deliver a Seller’s Lease Certificate to Buyer as a replacement for a Tenant Estoppel Certificate which identified a default by Seller as landlord under the Lease in order to satisfy the Estoppel Threshold.


 


(c)           In the event that Seller is unable to meet (i) the Estoppel Threshold by delivering either Tenant Estoppel Certificates or a Seller's Lease Certificate to Buyer, or (ii) the REA Estoppel Threshold, then Seller shall not be in default of this Agreement, but rather a failure of a condition shall have occurred and Buyer’s sole remedy shall be to either waive the requirement and proceed to Closing upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement or to terminate this Agreement by delivering written notice of such termination to Seller at or prior to the Closing Date.  In the event this Agreement is
terminated in accordance with the foregoing, the parties shall have no further rights or obligations under this Agreement except for the obligations which specifically survive the termination of this Agreement, and the Earnest Deposit shall be returned to Buyer.


 


(d)           Promptly as possible, but in no event than later five (5) days after the Effective Date, Buyer shall notify Seller of the certification parties to whom the Tenant Estoppel Certificates and the REA Estoppel Certificates should be addressed.  In the event Buyer fails to so notify Seller prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, Seller shall cause the Tenants to certify such instruments to the Buyer named herein, and to its successors, assigns and lenders, and Buyer shall accept such instruments as so certified.

6.6 - Conditions Precedent to Closing.


 


(a)           Conditions Precedent to Seller's Obligation to Proceed to Closing.


 


(i)           It shall be condition precedent to Seller's obligation to proceed to Closing that Seller and Buyer shall have received the Loan Assumption Consent (as defined below) and that Bank of America (as defined below) is ready, willing and able to deliver the Loan Assumption Documents (as defined below) at Closing.


 


(A)           Buyer and Seller shall jointly use good faith and commercially reasonable efforts to obtain from Bank of America Capital Markets Servicing Group ("Bank of America") written approval (the "Loan Assumption Consent") and all other documentation reasonably required by Bank of America (collectively, the "Loan Assumption Documents") to permit Buyer to assume at Closing all of Seller's obligations arising from and after
the Closing Date under the loan documents securing, evidencing or otherwise relating to the loan in the original principal amount of $46,000,000 (the "Bank of America Loan") including, without limitation, the transfer to Buyer of any and all escrow and/or reserve accounts held by Bank of America in favor of Seller, as borrower, pursuant to the terms of the Loan Agreement (as hereinafter defined).  Schedule 7 attached hereto sets forth a list of the instruments related to the Bank of America Loan (collectively, the "Bank of America Loan Documents").

(B)           Within two (2) business days after the Effective Date, Seller shall provide Bank of America with written notice of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the proposed assumption of the Bank of America Loan by Buyer.  Seller's notice shall include a formal request of Bank of America to deliver a loan assumption checklist that sets forth the delivery items and closing requirements of Bank of America in connection with the assumption of the Bank of America Loan (the "Assumption
Checklist").  Upon receipt of the Assumption Checklist or other correspondence from Bank of America, Buyer shall promptly respond and provide Bank of America with additional information Bank of America requires to underwrite Buyer as a new borrower and/or a new sponsor under the Bank of America Loan, including, without limitation, the identity and financial information with respect to the new borrower and/or the new sponsor.


 


(C)           In connection with obtaining the Loan Assumption Consent and Buyer assuming the Bank of America Loan Documents at Closing, Buyer shall be responsible for the payment of the loan assumption penalty imposed by Section 7.5 of the "Loan Agreement" associated with the Bank of America Loan, which Seller and Buyer estimate to total approximately Two Hundred Thirty Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($230,000.00) (the "Loan Assumption Penalty").  Buyer shall also be
responsible for the payment of legal fees, servicing fees, title insurance premiums and other charges related to the assumption of the Bank of America Loan Documents (collectively, the "Loan Assumption Costs") in an amount not to exceed One Hundred Thousand and No/Dollars ($100,000.00) (the "Loan Assumption Cost Cap").  In the event the Loan Assumption Costs exceed the Loan Assumption Cost Cap, then Buyer and Seller shall each be responsible for 50% of any Loan Assumption Costs in excess of the Loan Assumption Cost Cap (whether or not a Closing occurs).  Buyer shall include the Loan Assumption Penalty and Buyer's share of the Loan Assumption Costs along with the Purchase Price which shall be delivered to the Escrow Agent as part of Buyer's closing
deliveries.  In the event Seller is responsible for its prorata share of the Loan Assumption Costs as provided above, then such amount shall be reflected as a credit to Buyer on the Closing Statement.  In the event this Agreement is terminated prior to Closing for any reason other than a default by Seller hereunder or a failure of Seller to obtain Seller's Board Approval (as hereinafter defined), then Buyer shall be responsible for the Loan Assumption Costs actually incurred in connection with the attempt to obtain the Loan Assumption Consent from Bank of America, subject to the Loan Assumption Cost Cap.


 


(D)           If, despite their good faith and commercially reasonable efforts, Buyer and Seller are unable to obtain the Loan Assumption Consent at or prior to the originally scheduled Closing Date, then Buyer or Seller shall have the right to send written notice to the other party not less than two (2) business days prior to the originally scheduled Closing Date, to extend the Closing Date for not more than one hundred twenty (120) days to obtain the Loan Assumption Consent (the "Outside Loan Assumption Date").  If either
Seller or Buyer shall elect to extend the Closing Date pursuant to the foregoing, then the originally scheduled Closing Date shall be automatically extended until the earlier to occur of: (i) the Outside Loan Assumption Date; or (ii) three (3) business days after Buyer has received notice from Bank of America that all of the conditions to the assumption by Buyer of the Bank of America Loan Documents and the delivery of the Loan Assumption Documents have been satisfied and Bank of America and Buyer are ready, willing and able to deliver the Loan Assumption Documents and close the assumption of the Bank of America Loan.  In the event Bank of America and Buyer are not ready, willing and able to close the assumption of the Bank of America Loan by the Outside Loan Assumption Date, then this Agreement shall be deemed to have automatically terminated at which time the Earnest Deposit
shall be promptly returned to Buyer, and neither of the parties hereto shall have any further obligations under this Agreement, except for the obligations that expressly survive the termination of this Agreement.

(ii)           It shall be a further condition precedent to Seller's obligation to proceed to Closing that Seller obtain approval from the Board of Directors of Glimcher Realty Trust to enter into this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby ("Seller's Board Approval") and that Buyer obtain approval from the Board of Directors of Developers Diversified Realty Corporation to enter into this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby

On or before 5:00pm Eastern Time on September 15, 2011 (the "Board Approval Deadline"), Seller shall deliver written notice to Buyer advising whether or not Seller's Board Approval has been obtained and Buyer shall deliver written notice to Seller advising whether or not Buyer's Board Approval has been obtained.  If either Buyer or Seller does not obtain Board Approval prior to the Board Approval Deadline, then  such party shall not be in default of this Agreement, but rather a failure of a condition shall have occurred, this Agreement shall automatically terminate and the party failing to obtain Board Approval shall promptly reimburse the other party for any out-of-pocket expenses actually incurred prior to the Board
Approval Deadline subject to the Reimbursement Amount (as hereinafter defined).  In the event this Agreement is terminated in accordance with the foregoing, the parties shall have no further rights or obligations under this Agreement except for the obligations which specifically survive the termination of this Agreement, and the Earnest Deposit shall be returned to Buyer.


 


(iii)           It shall be a further condition precedent to Seller's obligation to proceed to Closing that Buyer shall have performed, observed and complied in all material respects with all of the covenants, agreements and conditions required by this Agreement to be performed, observed and complied with by Buyer at or prior to Closing.

(v)           It shall further be a condition precedent to Buyer's obligation to proceed to Closing that Buyer shall have received the Loan Assumption Consent and that Bank of America is ready, willing and able to deliver the Loan Assumption Documents at Closing.


 


(vi)           It shall further be a condition precedent to Buyer's obligation to proceed to Closing that at no time on or before the Closing Date shall any of the following have been done by, against or with respect to any Anchor Store (as hereinafter defined) or with respect to Justice:  (a) (a) the commencement of a case under Title 11 of the U.S. Code, or under any other applicable federal or state bankruptcy or similar law; (b)(b) the appointment of a trustee or receiver of any property interest; (c) (c) an assignment for the benefit of creditors; (d) (d) an

If either Buyer or Seller does not obtain Board Approval prior to the Board Approval Deadline, then such party failing to obtain Board Approval shall not be in default of this Agreement, but rather a failure of a condition shall have occurred, and this Agreement shall automatically terminate.  In the event this Agreement shall terminate due to a party's failure to obtain Board Approval prior
to the Board Approval Deadline, then such party failing to obtain Board Approval shall promptly reimburse the other party for any out-pocket-expenses actually incurred prior to the Board Approval Deadline subject to the Reimbursement Amount.

(b)           "Seller’s Knowledge" means the current, actual (as opposed to constructive, imputed or implied) knowledge of George A. Schmidt, Kim A. Rieck, Neil Van Winkle, Chris Ellis, Armand Mastropietro, and T.J. Drought, without any duty of investigation or inquiry.  Each of the representations and warranties of Seller and Buyer contained in this Agreement is made as of the Effective Date, subject to update as provided herein and shall survive Closing for a period of one hundred eighty (180) days following the Closing Date (the
"Survival Period").

(c)           Buyer agrees that its sole remedy with respect to any untruth or inaccuracy of Seller’s representations and warranties that are discovered prior the Closing are set forth in this Section 9.3(c).  Buyer shall promptly provide written notice to Seller upon learning of any breach or breaches by Seller prior to the Closing Date of any of Seller’s representations or warranties set forth in this Agreement (collectively, the "Pre-Closing Breaches").  Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Seller shall not have any liability for, and Buyer shall be deemed to have waived any claim for, any Pre-Closing Breaches if and to the extent that the Pre-Closing Breaches are known by Buyer and Buyer nevertheless fails to notify Seller and proceeds to consummate the Closing.  In the event that, prior to Closing, Seller discovers that any of Seller’s representations and warranties have materially and adversely changed, Seller shall promptly give written notice thereof to Buyer (a "Change Notice") and Seller’s representations and warranties shall be deemed qualified and amended as set forth in such Change Notice.  Within three (3) business days after receipt of a Change Notice, Buyer, as its sole and exclusive remedy at law or in equity on account of such Change Notice from Seller, all other rights
and remedies being hereby waived, shall elect, by written notice delivered to Seller, to either to (i) terminate this Agreement, in which event the Earnest Deposit shall be returned to Buyer by the Escrow Agent, Seller shall reimburse for Buyer’s actual out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement in an amount not to exceed One Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($100,000.00) (the "Reimbursement Amount"), and, with the exception of those provisions or paragraphs which recite that they survive termination of this Agreement, neither party shall have any additional liability to the other and Buyer expressly waives the right to sue Seller for damages, or (ii) accept Seller’s representations and warranties as so qualified, in which case the representations and warranties shall thereby be automatically
amended and Buyer shall proceed with Closing without any right or remedy on account thereof.  Buyer’s failure to give timely written notice of such election to Seller shall constitute Buyer’s irrevocable election to accept Seller’s representations and warranties as so qualified and amended, and proceed to Closing without any right or remedy on account thereof.  Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if (i) to Buyer's Knowledge any of Seller’s representations and warranties, whether as a result of notice from Seller, Buyer’s own investigations or inquiries, or otherwise, or (ii) any information contained in the Due Diligence Material, any information contained in the Bank of America Loan Documents, or in any updates to any of the foregoing is in any way inconsistent with any of Seller’s representations and
warranties, whether or not actually known to Buyer, and notwithstanding clause (i) and clause (ii) Buyer nonetheless proceeds with the Closing, then Seller’s representations and warranties shall be deemed qualified and amended or modified to the full extent of Buyer’s Knowledge and such inconsistent information, and Buyer shall be deemed to have accepted and approved Seller’s representations and warranties as so qualified and amended or modified, and Buyer shall have no right or remedy, and Seller shall have no obligation or liability, on account thereof.


 


(d)           Buyer agrees that its sole remedies with respect to any untruth or inaccuracy of Seller’s representations and warranties that are discovered following the Closing are set forth in this Section 9.3(d).  Buyer’s failure, on or before the expiration of the Survival Period, to (i) deliver written notice to Seller asserting a claim and (ii) file suit in a court of competent jurisdiction with respect thereto, shall be deemed a waiver and release of all claims for losses resulting from any breach of
Seller’s representations and warranties, and were first discovered by Buyer after Closing.  In addition, Buyer hereby waives (for itself, its successors and assigns) and shall not have any right to bring or commence any claims against Seller for losses as a result of any untruth or inaccuracy of Seller’s representations and warranties that were first discovered by Buyer after Closing until such losses have aggregated to more than Two Hundred Fifty Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($250,000.00) (the "Deductible").  In no event shall any claim be made and Seller shall not be liable for losses, when aggregated together with all other losses for which Seller is liable pursuant to this Agreement, exceed Two Million and No/100 Dollars ($2,000,000.00) (the
"Maximum Loss").  In the event that the aggregate amount of all losses resulting from such untruths and inaccuracies exceeds the Deductible, Buyer shall have the right to bring an action, suit or proceeding against Seller for such losses, with liability starting with the first dollar, but in no event exceeding the Maximum Loss.


 




  





-22-











  






 


(d)           The provisions of this Section 9.3 are deemed to be incorporated by reference into the documents delivered at Closing and shall survive Closing until the expiration of the Survival Period.  In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Section 9.3, and the provisions of any document delivered at Closing, the provisions of this Section 9.3 shall control.


 


SECTION 10 DEFAULT.


 


10.1 -  Seller Default.  Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, if Closing does not occur by reason of a default by Seller which continues for five (5) days after written notice from Buyer ("Seller’s Cure Period"), then Buyer shall elect, as its sole and exclusive remedy, by notice to Seller within three (3) business days following the end of Seller’s Cure Period, either of the following: (i)  terminate this Agreement, in which event Buyer shall receive the Earnest Deposit, Seller shall pay for Buyer’s
actual out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement in an amount up to the Reimbursement Amount, and neither of the parties hereto shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder except for obligations that specifically survive the termination; or (ii) enforce specific performance of this Agreement.  A formal action for specific performance or damages must be commenced within ninety (90) days following the expiration of Seller’s Cure Period.  Except as set forth above, Buyer expressly waives its rights to seek damages in the event of Seller’s default hereunder.


 


10.2 -  Buyer Default.  Notwithstanding any provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, if Buyer fails to close this transaction for reasons other than Seller’s default or the failure of any of the express conditions to Buyer’s performance, then this Agreement shall terminate, and the Earnest Deposit shall be delivered to Seller as agreed-upon liquidated damages as Seller’s sole remedy.  Seller and Buyer acknowledge that:  (i) it would be impossible to accurately determine Seller’s damages in the event of Buyer’s default; (ii) the Earnest Deposit are fair and
equitable; and (iii) Seller expressly waives the right to exercise any and all other rights available at law or in equity.  The limitation of damages set forth herein shall not apply to any indemnities, covenants or obligations of Buyer which expressly survive either the termination of this Agreement or Closing, for which Seller shall be entitled to all rights and remedies available at law or in equity.


 


SECTION 11 - BROKERS.  Buyer and Seller each represent and warrant that they have not been represented by any broker in connection with the sale of the Property, and no commissions or fees are due to any other broker or finder by reason of either party’s actions in this matter.  The terms and conditions of this Agreement shall supercede all terms and conditions of any separate commission agreement with Seller.  Buyer and Seller shall each be responsible for all liability, if any, for any broker or finder fees
payable with respect to the sale of the Property that are attributable to its actions.  Seller and Buyer shall and do each hereby indemnify, defend and hold harmless the other from and against the claims, demands, actions and judgments of any and all brokers, agents and other persons or entities alleging a commission, fee or other payment to be owing by reason of their respective dealings, negotiations or communications in connection with this Agreement or the purchase and sale of the Property.  The indemnity obligations in this Section 11 shall survive the termination of this Agreement or the Closing.


 




  





-23-











  






 


SECTION 12 - EMINENT DOMAIN.  In the event of the taking of the Real Property, either total or partial, by eminent domain for any public or quasi-public use, or if notice of intent of a taking or a sale in lieu of taking is received by Seller or Buyer, at or prior to the Closing (excluding a De Minimis Taking (as hereinafter defined)), Buyer shall have the right, to be exercised within thirty (30) days after written notice of such taking from Seller, to terminate this Agreement, in which event Buyer shall receive the Earnest Deposit and
neither of the parties hereto shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder except for obligations that specifically survive the termination.  In the event this Agreement is not terminated or in the event of a De Minimis Taking, Buyer shall consummate this transaction on the Closing Date (with no reductions in the Purchase Price), and Buyer shall be entitled to participate in any such condemnation or eminent domain proceedings and to receive all of the proceeds attributable to any portion of the Real Property to be conveyed to Buyer.  For purposes of this Section 12, "De Minimis Taking" shall mean any partial taking that does not result in any material impact on the parking or access to the Property, or result in the right to terminate or
pay reduced rent under any Lease, or result in the right to terminate any REA Agreement.


 


SECTION 13 – CASUALTY.  If prior to the Closing Date, building(s) comprising a part of the Real Property, are destroyed by fire or other casualty, Seller shall notify Buyer in writing of such fact (which writing shall detail the amount of such damage as determined by a reputable public adjusting firm, together with the amount of insurance proceeds recoverable).  If the amount of such damage is an amount equal to two percent (2%) of the Purchase Price or more or in the event the casualty gives the right to any Anchor Tenant or
Key Tenant to terminate its Lease, Buyer shall have the option to terminate this Agreement upon notice to Seller given within twenty (20) days after Buyer’s receipt of Seller’s written notice of such casualty.  Upon such termination, the Escrow Agent shall return the Earnest Deposit to Buyer, this Agreement shall terminate and neither party shall have any further obligation or liability to the other except for obligations that specifically survive termination of this Agreement.  In the event Buyer does not so elect to terminate this Agreement, or there is damage to or destruction of less than an amount equal to two percent (2%) of the Purchase Price, Seller shall assign to Buyer any insurance claims and the amount of any deductible shall be subtracted from the Purchase Price and Buyer shall acquire the Property pursuant to this Agreement without any
further reduction in the Purchase Price.


 


SECTION 14 - MISCELLANEOUS.


 


14.1 -  Governing Law.  This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State where the Real Property is located, without regard to rules regarding conflicts of laws.


 


14.2 -  Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same document.   Return of an executed counterpart of this Agreement by electronic mail transmission shall bind the party so executing and delivering such counterpart.


 




  





-24-











  






 


14.3 -  Entire Agreement.  This Agreement, together with the attached exhibit(s), contains all of the terms and conditions of the agreement between the parties hereto, and any and all prior and contemporaneous oral and written agreements are merged herein.


 


14.4 -  Modifications and Waivers.  This Agreement cannot be changed nor can any provision of this Agreement, or any right or remedy of any party, be waived orally.  Changes and waivers can only be made in writing, and the change or waiver must be signed by both parties hereto.  Any waiver of any provision of this Agreement, or any right or remedy, given on any one or more occasions shall not be deemed a waiver with respect to any other occasion.


 


14.5 -  Parties Bound.  This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors, successors, and assigns of the parties hereto.


 


14.6 -  Assignment.  Buyer may not assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement without Seller’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided, however, at and concurrently with a Closing hereunder, Buyer may assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement without the consent of Seller, provided and on the condition that:  (i) Buyer shall have given Seller written notice of the assignment and the identity
of the assignee at least five (5) days prior to Closing, (ii) Buyer or a principal or principals of Buyer shall own a controlling interest in the assignee; and (iii) such assignee shall have assumed Buyer’s obligations hereunder by a written instrument of assumption in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Seller.  Notwithstanding any such assignment, Buyer shall nevertheless remain liable for all of Buyer’s obligations hereunder.


 


14.7 -  Notices.  All notices, requests and other communications under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed given when made by personal delivery, sent by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, next or second business day by delivery by a nationally recognized overnight courier, addressed as follows, or electronic mail followed by another permitted means of delivery.  Notice shall be deemed given on the date on which the notice is received by a party in the case of personal delivery or facsimile or electronic mail, two (2) business days following the
date on which it is deposited in the U.S. Mail, in the case of mail, or on the next or second (whichever is applicable) business day immediately following receipt by the courier, in the case of an overnight courier:

-26-











  






 


14.11 -  Confidentiality.  Without the prior written consent of the other party, neither Seller nor Buyer will make any public disclosure, issue any press release or disclose to any person, other than their legal counsel, a proposed lender, accountants or consultants, either the fact that this Agreement has been entered into or any of the terms, conditions or other facts with respect thereto, including the status thereof; provided, that either party hereto may make such disclosure if compelled by court order or to comply with the requirements of any law, governmental order or regulation.  In addition,
if this Agreement is terminated prior to Closing for any reason, all confidential information shall be immediately returned by Buyer to Seller.


 


14.12 -  Further Action.  The parties hereto shall at any time, and from time to time on and after the Closing Date, upon the request of either, do, execute, acknowledge and deliver all such further acts, deeds, assignments and other instruments as may be reasonably required for the consummation of this transaction.


 


14.13 -  Construction.  This Agreement shall not be construed more strictly against one party than against the other merely by virtue of the fact that it may have been prepared by counsel for one of the parties hereto, it being recognized that both Seller and Buyer have contributed substantially and materially to the preparation of this Agreement.


 


14.14 -  No Recording.  Neither this Agreement nor any memorandum or short form thereof may be recorded by Buyer.


 


14.15 -  Third Party Beneficiary.  The provisions of this Agreement are not intended to benefit any parties other than Seller and Buyer.


 


14.16 -  Enforcement.  If either party hereto shall engage an attorney in connection with any action or proceeding to enforce this Agreement, the prevailing party in such action or proceeding shall be entitled to recover its reasonable attorney fees and costs together with all litigation expenses to the fullest extent permitted by law.  In the event a different party is the prevailing party on different issues, the attorney fees and costs and litigation expenses shall be apportioned in proportion to the value of the issues decided for and against the party.


 


14.17 -  1031 Exchange.  If so requested by either party, the other party will cooperate in structuring and completing this transaction for the requesting party so as to effect a like-kind exchange pursuant to Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.  In particular, such other party will consent to the assignment by the requesting party prior to the Closing hereunder of its rights hereunder to a “qualified intermediary” or other third party for such purposes.  The foregoing notwithstanding, in connection with any such exchange, neither party shall have any
obligation to acquire title to any real property nor to enter into any contract:  (i) that may create or impose upon such party any non-monetary obligation or negative covenant; (ii) that does not provide that the sole and exclusive remedy of any seller for a breach shall be to retain as liquidated damages the deposit paid to said seller; or (iii) that requires such party to execute any mortgage, deed of trust or similar financing instrument.  It is further agreed that:  (1) neither party shall assume any responsibility for the tax consequences to any other party arising out of any exchange effected pursuant to this Section 14.17; (2) the requesting party shall reimburse the other party for all additional costs and expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees) incurred by such
other party in connection with any such exchange; and (3) the requesting party shall indemnify and hold the other party harmless from and against any and all loss, cost, damage, expense or other liability (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) that such other party may incur or suffer in the performance of its obligations under this Section 14.17.


 




  





-27-











  






 


14.18 -  Business Day.  As used herein, a business day shall mean any day other than Saturday, Sunday or other day that commercial banks in the State in which the Property is located are authorized or required to close under applicable law.  In the event that the expiration of any time period hereunder, including, without limitation, the Due Diligence Period and the Cure Period shall expire on a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday, then such time period shall be extended until the close of business on the next following business day.


 


14.19 -  Audit.  Seller agrees, upon Buyer's request, to provide Buyer and its representatives access to Seller's books, records and accounts with respect to the Property for the most recently completed fiscal year and the current fiscal year through the Closing Date, and to reasonably cooperate with Buyer to enable Buyer and its representatives to prepare an audited statement of revenue and certain expenses for the Property for the most recently completed fiscal year and a review of the unaudited statement of revenues and certain expenses for the current fiscal year through the Closing Date as required by Rule
3-14 of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission.


 


14.20 -  Cross Conditioned and Cross Defaulted.  Buyer and Seller hereby acknowledge that, concurrently herewith, Buyer, or an affiliate of Buyer, and Seller, or an affiliate of Seller, have executed a Purchase Agreement (the "Other Agreement") for the property known as "Town Center Plaza " pursuant to which Seller, or an affiliate of Seller, has agreed to purchase and Buyer, or an affiliate of Buyer, has agreed to sell certain other retail property.  Buyer and Seller agree that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the transactions
contemplated by the Other Agreement are contingent upon the consummation of all such transactions.  In the event any of the transactions contemplated under this Agreement or the Other Agreement fail to occur for any reason, none of the transactions shall be consummated by Buyer and Seller.  A default by Buyer or Seller under this Agreement shall constitute a default by Buyer or Seller, as applicable, under the Other Agreement and a default by Buyer or Seller under the Other Agreement shall constitute a default hereunder.  In the event the transactions contemplated under this Agreement or the Other Agreement do not occur for any reason other than a default by Buyer or Seller, then this Agreement shall terminate, in which event the Earnest Deposit shall be returned to Buyer, the Agreement shall become null and void and neither party shall have any further
rights or obligations under this Agreement, except those which by their terms expressly survive such termination.  If either Buyer or Seller shall terminate this Agreement pursuant to an express right hereunder, such termination shall automatically terminate the Other Agreement.


 




  





-28-











  






 


14.21 -  Synchronization.  Buyer and Seller hereby acknowledge and agree that this Agreement and the Other Agreement shall be synchronized with respect to any equivalent time period or deadline contained herein or therein.  In the event that any such time period or deadline contemplated under this Agreement, including but not limited to the Closing Date and the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, shall be lessened or extended for any reason, then the identical modification shall automatically be deemed to have occurred in the Other Agreement.  In the event that any such time period or
deadline contemplated under the Other Agreement, including but not limited to the Closing Date and the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, shall be lessened or extended for any reason, then the identical modification shall automatically be deemed to have occurred in this Agreement  Buyer and Seller further acknowledge and agree that the Closing Date under this Agreement and the Closing Date under the Other Agreement shall be the same date.
