the Property and conduct such tests, evaluations and assessments of the Property as Purchaser deems reasonably necessary, appropriate or prudent in connection with Purchaser’s acquisition of the Property and the consummation of the transaction contemplated by this Agreement; provided, however, that no invasive testing or sampling shall be conducted by Purchaser or any Licensee Party upon the Real Property or Improvements without Seller’s prior written consent, which consent may be withheld, delayed or conditioned in Seller’s sole and absolute discretion.  Subject to the provisions of this Section 5.1 and subject to the obligations set forth in Section 5.3 below, Seller will permit Purchaser and its authorized agents and representatives (collectively, the “Licensee Parties”) the right to enter upon the Real Property and Improvements at all reasonable times, during normal business hours, to perform inspections of the Property and communicate with Tenants and service providers; provided, however, Purchaser shall not have the right to communicate with Tenants unless interviews and communications are coordinated through Seller, Seller shall have the right to participate in any such communications, and Purchaser shall comply with the notice requirements of the applicable Tenant Lease.  Purchaser will provide to Seller written notice of the intention of Purchaser or the other Licensee Parties to enter the Real Property or Improvements at least twenty-four (24) hours prior to such intended entry and specify the intended purpose therefor and the inspections and examinations contemplated to be made.  At Seller’s option, Seller may be present for any such entry, inspection and communication with any Tenants and service providers with respect to the Property.  Purchaser shall have the right to conduct a Phase I Environmental Assessment to the extent the same is to be completed by a reputable, bonded and insured consultant licensed in the state in which the Property is located carrying the insurance required under Section 5.3 below.  If Purchaser or the other Licensee Parties undertake any borings or other disturbances of the soil, the soil shall be recompacted to its condition as existed immediately before any such borings or other disturbances were undertaken. If Purchaser or any Licensee Party takes any sample from the Real Property in connection with any testing, Purchaser shall, upon the request of Seller, provide to Seller a portion of such sample being tested to allow Seller, if it so chooses, to perform its own testing.
(b)    Subject to the obligations set forth in Section 5.3 below, the Licensee Parties shall have the right to communicate directly with the Authorities for any good-faith reasonable purpose in connection with this transaction contemplated by this Agreement (so long as such communications can be conducted without disclosing that a sale of the Property is contemplated); provided, however, Purchaser, except with respect to routine requests for information and associated follow-up communication, shall provide Seller at least twenty-four (24) hours prior written notice of Purchaser’s intention to communicate with any Authorities and Seller shall have the right to participate in any such communications.
Section 5.2    Document Review.
(a)    Seller shall make available, either via electronic virtual data room, by delivery of materials to Purchaser’s representatives, by access to the Broker’s data room, or by being made available at the office of Seller’s property manager, the following, to the extent in Seller’s possession or control, to Purchaser and its authorized agents or

Purchaser agrees not to disclose the contents of the Documents, or any of the provisions, terms or conditions contained therein, to any party outside of Purchaser’s organization other than its attorneys, partners, members, accountants, consultants, contractors, representatives, employees, advisors, potential lenders or potential investors (collectively, for purposes of this Section 5.2(b), the “Permitted Outside Parties”).  Purchaser further agrees that within its organization, or as to Permitted Outside Parties, the Documents will be disclosed and exhibited only (A) to those Permitted Outside Parties who need to know such information in order to advise Purchaser in connection with the feasibility of Purchaser’s acquisition of the Property (including, without limitation, the financing of such acquisition), and (B) to the extent required by court or legal requirements, or to enforce or defend any claim hereunder.  Purchaser further acknowledges that the Documents and other information relating to the leasing arrangements between Seller and the Tenants or prospective tenants are proprietary and confidential in nature.  Purchaser agrees not to divulge the contents of 





such Documents and other information except in strict accordance with the confidentiality standards set forth in Article XII and this Section 5.2.  In permitting Purchaser and the Permitted Outside Parties to review the Documents or information to assist Purchaser, Seller has not waived any privilege or claim of confidentiality with respect thereto, and no third-party benefits or relationships of any kind, either express or implied, have been offered, intended or created by Seller and any such claims are expressly rejected by Seller and waived by Purchaser and the Permitted Outside Parties, for whom, by its execution of this Agreement, Purchaser is acting as an agent with regard to such waiver.  Purchaser shall be responsible for any breaches of confidentiality under this Agreement by any of the Permitted Outside Parties.
(c)    Purchaser shall promptly destroy all copies Purchaser has made (and computer files of same) of any Documents containing confidential information before or after the execution of this Agreement, not later than ten (10) Business Days following the time this Agreement is terminated for any reason.

(d)    Purchaser acknowledges that some of the Documents may have been prepared by third parties and may have been prepared prior to Seller’s ownership of the Property.  Purchaser hereby acknowledges that, except as expressly provided in this Agreement, Seller has not made and does not make any representation or warranty regarding the truth, accuracy or completeness of the Documents or the sources thereof (whether prepared by Seller, Seller’s Affiliates or any other person or entity).  Seller has not undertaken any independent investigation as to the truth, accuracy or completeness of the Documents and is providing the Documents solely as an accommodation to Purchaser.
(e)    For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of this Section 5.2 shall expire and be of no further force or effect from and after Closing. 
Section 5.3    Entry and Inspection Obligations.

Nothing contained in this Section 5.3 shall be deemed or construed as Seller’s consent to any further physical testing or sampling with respect to the Property after the Property Approval Period.
(b)    Purchaser hereby indemnifies, defends and holds Seller and all of its members, partners, agents, officers, directors, employees, successors, assigns and Affiliates harmless from and against any and all liens, claims, causes of action, damages, liabilities, demands, suits, and obligations, together with all losses, penalties, actual out-of-pocket costs and expenses relating to any of the foregoing (including but not limited to court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of any inspections, investigations, examinations, entries, samplings or tests conducted by Purchaser or any Licensee Party, whether prior to or after the date hereof, with respect to the Property or any violation of the provisions of Section 5.2 and/or this Section 5.3; provided that the foregoing indemnity shall not apply to any claims, damages or other costs arising by virtue of the mere discovery of any pre-existing condition at the Property in connection with any inspections, investigations, examinations, entries, samplings or tests conducted by Purchaser or any Licensee Party, but only to the extent such parties do not exacerbate such pre-existing condition.

If Purchaser fails to timely deliver an Approval Notice pursuant to the foregoing, this Agreement shall automatically terminate.  Purchaser shall pay any cancellation fees or charges of the Title Company, and except for Termination Surviving Obligations, the parties shall have no further rights or obligations to one another under this Agreement.

(a)    It will be a condition to Closing that Seller obtain and deliver to Purchaser, from each of the major tenants leasing space in the Improvements listed on Exhibit C-1 (the “Major Tenants”) and from such other Tenants leasing space at the Improvements, which when added to the Major Tenants, aggregates eighty percent (80%) of the rentable square footage leased at the Improvements, executed Acceptable Estoppel Certificates.  “Acceptable Estoppel Certificates” are estoppel certificates in substantially the form of the estoppel certificate attached hereto as Exhibit C-2, which shall not contain any material modifications or inconsistencies with respect to the information set forth on Exhibit F-2, Exhibit G-1 and Exhibit G-2, the rent roll and the Tenant Leases, and which shall not disclose any alleged material default or unfulfilled material obligation on the part of the landlord; provided that an estoppel certificate executed by a Major Tenant in the form prescribed by its Tenant Lease shall constitute an Acceptable Estoppel Certificate if it is otherwise consistent with this Section 7.2 and the factual information contained in the estoppels distributed to such Major Tenant pursuant to the provisions of this Section 7.2.  Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Seller’s failure to obtain the Acceptable Estoppel Certificates in accordance with this Section 7.2 shall not constitute a default by Seller under this Agreement; provided that Seller use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the Acceptable Estoppel Certificates.  Purchaser’s sole and exclusive remedy for a failure to obtain the Acceptable Estoppel Certificates shall be to terminate this Agreement and receive a refund of the Earnest Money Deposit.  Prior to delivery of the forms of estoppel certificates to the Major Tenants, Seller will deliver to Purchaser completed forms of estoppel certificates, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C-2 or such forms as required by the applicable Tenant Lease and containing the information contemplated thereby.  Within three (3) Business Days following Purchaser’s receipt thereof, Purchaser will send to Seller notice either (i) approving such forms as completed by Seller or (ii) setting forth in detail all changes to such forms which Purchaser reasonably believes to be appropriate to make the completed forms of estoppel certificates accurate and complete.  Seller will make such changes to the extent Seller agrees such changes are appropriate, except that Seller will not be obligated to make any changes which request more expansive information than is contemplated by Exhibit C-2 or the form required by the applicable Tenant Lease (but for the avoidance of confusion, Purchaser shall have the right to require changes to the information contained in the estoppel certificates to resolve ambiguities in the Tenant Leases or Seller’s data relating to the same).  Purchaser’s failure to respond within such three (3) Business Day period shall be deemed approval of such estoppel certificate.  
(b)    If estoppel certificates for all Major Tenants and Tenants comprising at least 60% but less than 80% of the rentable area of the Improvements (inclusive of Major Tenants) are not obtained, Seller, at its sole option, may elect to deliver to Purchaser at Closing a representation certificate of Seller in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C-3 (a “Seller Certificate”) for such Tenants as is necessary to enable the requirements of Section 7.2(a) to be satisfied.  If Seller subsequently obtains an estoppel certificate meeting the requirements of Section 7.2(a) hereof from a Tenant for which Seller has delivered a Seller 





Certificate, the delivered Seller Certificate for such Tenant will be null and void, and Purchaser will accept such estoppel certificate in its place. 
Section 7.3    OFAC.  Pursuant to United States Presidential Executive Order 13224 (“Executive Order”), Seller is required to ensure that it does not transact business with persons or entities determined to have committed, or to pose a risk of committing or supporting, terrorist acts and those persons (i) described in Section 1 of the Executive Order or (ii) listed in the “Alphabetical Listing of Blocked Persons, Specially Designated Nationals, Specially Designated Terrorists, Specially Designated Global Terrorists, Foreign Terrorist Organizations, and Specially Designated Narcotics Traffickers” published by the United States Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”), 31 C.F.R. Chapter V, Appendix A, as in effect from time to time (as to (i) and (ii), a “Blocked Person”).  If Seller learns that Purchaser is, becomes, or appears to be a Blocked Person, Seller may delay the sale contemplated by this Agreement pending Seller’s conclusion of its investigation into the matter of Purchaser’s status as a Blocked Person.  If Seller determines that Purchaser is or becomes a Blocked Person, Seller shall have the right to immediately terminate this Agreement and take all other actions necessary, or in the opinion of Seller, appropriate to comply with applicable law and Purchaser shall receive a return of the Earnest Money Deposit.

CONDEMNATION AND CASUALTY

If, prior to the Closing Date, all or any portion of the Property is destroyed or damaged by fire or other casualty, Seller will notify Purchaser of such casualty.  Purchaser will have the option, in the event all or any Significant Portion of the Property is so destroyed or damaged, to terminate this Agreement in its entirety upon notice to Seller given not later than ten (10) Business Days after receipt of Seller’s notice.  If this Agreement is terminated, the Earnest Money Deposit will be returned to Purchaser upon Purchaser’s compliance with Section 4.6 and thereafter neither Seller nor Purchaser will have any further rights or obligations to the other hereunder except with respect to the Termination Surviving Obligations.

Section 8.2    Casualty of Less Than a Significant Portion.  If less than a Significant Portion of the Property and the Improvements thereon are damaged as aforesaid, Purchaser shall not have the right to terminate this Agreement and Seller will not be obligated to repair such damage or destruction, but (a) Seller will assign and turn over to Purchaser all of the insurance proceeds net of reasonable collection costs (or, if such have not been awarded, all of its right, title and interest therein) payable with respect to such fire or other casualty (excluding any proceeds of insurance that are payable on account of any business interruption, rental insurance or similar coverage intended to compensate Seller for loss of rental or other income from the Property attributable to periods prior to the Closing), and (b) the parties will proceed to Closing pursuant to the terms hereof without abatement of the Purchase Price, except that Purchaser will receive a credit against cash due at Closing for the amount of the deductible on such insurance policy less any amounts expended by Seller to collect any such insurance proceeds or to make such repairs or to remedy any unsafe conditions at the Property (other than repairs which are the responsibility of Tenants under Tenant Leases) as reasonably estimated by Seller.  





Section 8.3    Condemnation of Property.  If any condemnation proceedings are instituted, or written notice of intent to condemn is given, with respect to all or any portion of the Property, Seller shall promptly, upon obtaining knowledge thereof, notify Purchaser thereof (a “Taking Notice”).

Failure of Purchaser to give notice of Purchaser’s election within such ten (10) Business Day period shall be deemed an election by Purchaser to consummate the purchase pursuant to subsection (ii) above.
ARTICLE IX

Section 9.4    Prorations.  
(a)    Seller and Purchaser agree to adjust, as of 11:59 p.m. on the day immediately preceding the Closing Date (the “Closing Time”), the following (collectively, the “Proration Items”): (i) real estate and personal property taxes and assessments for the year in which Closing occurs, (ii) utility bills (except as hereinafter provided), (iii) collected Rentals (subject to the terms of (b) below), and (iv) operating expenses payable by the owner of the Property (on the basis of a 366-day year, actual days elapsed).  Seller will be charged and credited for the amounts of all of the Proration Items relating to the period up to and including the Closing Time, and Purchaser will be charged and credited for all of the Proration Items relating to the period after the Closing Time.  Such preliminary estimated Closing prorations shall be set forth on a preliminary closing statement to be prepared by the Title Company and submitted to Seller and Purchaser for each party’s approval at least three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date (the “Closing Statement”).  The Closing Statement, once agreed upon, shall be signed by Purchaser and Seller and delivered to the Title Company for purposes of making the preliminary proration adjustment at Closing subject to the final cash settlement provided for below.  The preliminary proration shall be paid at Closing by Purchaser to Seller (if the preliminary prorations result in a net credit to Seller) or by Seller to Purchaser (if the preliminary prorations result in a net credit to Purchaser) by increasing or reducing the cash to be delivered by Purchaser in payment of the Purchase Price at the Closing.  If the actual amounts of the Proration Items are not known as of the Closing Time, the prorations will be made at Closing on the basis of the best evidence then available; thereafter, when actual figures are received, re-prorations will be made on the basis of the actual figures, and a final cash settlement will be made between Seller and Purchaser.  No prorations will be made in relation to insurance premiums (except to the extent covered by the proration of Operating Expense Recoveries), and Seller’s insurance policies will not be assigned to Purchaser.  Final readings and final billings for utilities will be made if possible as of the Closing Time, in which event no proration will be made at the Closing with respect to utility bills (except to the extent covered by the proration of Operating Expense Recoveries).  Seller will be entitled to all deposits presently in effect with the utility providers, and Purchaser will be obligated to make its own arrangements for deposits with the utility providers.  A final reconciliation of Proration Items shall be made by Purchaser and Seller on or before June 30, 2020 (herein, the “Final Proration Date”).  The provisions of this Section 10.4 will survive the Closing until the Final Proration Date, and in the event any items subject to proration hereunder are discovered prior to the Final Proration Date, the same shall be promptly prorated by the parties in accordance with the terms of this Section 10.4.
(b)    Purchaser will receive a credit on the Closing Statement for the prorated amount (as of the Closing Time) of all Rentals previously paid to and collected by Seller and attributable to any period following the Closing Time.  After the Closing, Seller, 





promptly and on a rolling basis, will cause to be paid or turned over to Purchaser all Rentals, if any, received by Seller after Closing and properly attributable to any period following the Closing Time.  “Rentals” includes fixed monthly rentals, parking rentals and charges, additional rentals, percentage rentals, escalation rentals (which include such Tenant’s proportionate share of building operation and maintenance costs and expenses as provided for under the applicable Tenant Lease, to the extent the same exceeds any expense stop specified in such Tenant Lease), retroactive rentals, administrative charges, utility charges, tenant or real property association dues, storage rentals, special event proceeds, temporary rents, telephone receipts, locker rentals, vending machine receipts and other sums and charges payable to Seller under the Tenant Lease or from other occupants or users of the Property, excluding specific tenant billings which are governed by Section 10.4(d).  Rentals are “Delinquent” if they were due prior to the Closing Time and payment thereof has not been made on or before the Closing Time.  Delinquent Rentals will not be prorated.  Until the end of the Survival Period, Purchaser agrees to use good faith collection procedures with respect to the collection of any Delinquent Rentals, but Purchaser will have no liability for the failure to collect any such amounts and will not be required to conduct lock-outs or take any other legal action to enforce collection of any such amounts owed to Seller by Tenants of the Property.  With respect to any Delinquent Rentals received by Purchaser within the Survival Period, Purchaser shall pay to Seller any rent or payment actually collected during the Survival Period properly attributable to the period prior to the Closing Time.  All sums collected by Purchaser during the Survival Period from such Tenant (excluding Tenant payments for Operating Expense Recoveries attributable to the period prior to the Closing Time and tenant specific billings for tenant work orders and other specific services as described in and governed by Section 10.4(d) below, all of which shall be payable to and belong to Seller in all events, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary) will be applied first to amounts currently owed by such Tenant to Purchaser (including Delinquent Rentals attributable to the period after the Closing Time), then any collection costs of Purchaser related to such Tenant, and then to prior delinquencies owed by Tenant to Seller.  Seller shall be entitled to institute legal actions to pursue Delinquent Rentals after Closing, but in no event shall Seller be permitted to institute eviction proceedings against any Tenant or interfere with such Tenant’s use and occupancy of its leased premises.  Any sums collected by Purchaser and due to Seller will be promptly remitted to Seller, and any sums collected by Seller and due to Purchaser will be promptly remitted to Purchaser.
(c)    Seller will prepare a reconciliation as of the Closing Time of the amounts of all billings and charges for operating expenses and taxes (collectively, “Operating Expense Recoveries”) for calendar years 2019 and 2020.  If less amounts have been collected from Tenants for Operating Expense Recoveries for calendar years 2019 and 2020 than would have been owed by Tenants under the Tenant Leases if the reconciliations under such Tenant Leases were completed as of the Closing Time based on the operating expenses incurred by Seller for calendar years 2019 and 2020 up to the Closing Time (as prorated pursuant to Section 10.4(a) above), Purchaser will pay such difference to Seller at Closing as an addition to the Purchase Price.  If more amounts have been collected from Tenants for Operating Expense Recoveries for calendar years 2019 and 2020 than would have been owed by Tenants under the Tenant Leases if the reconciliations under the Tenant 





Leases were completed as of the Closing Time based on the operating expenses incurred by Seller for calendar years 2019 and 2020 up to the Closing Time (as prorated pursuant to Section 10.4(a) above), Seller will pay to Purchaser at Closing as a credit against the Purchase Price such excess collected amount.  Purchaser and Seller shall cooperate to finalize prorations of the Operating Expense Recoveries within 120 days after Closing, and in no event later than June 30, 2020, in order to (x) make adjustments necessary to the extent estimates used in the calculation of such reconciliation at Closing differ from actual bills received after Closing for those items covered by such reconciliation at Closing and (y) to correct any errors.  As part of the foregoing post-Closing reconciliation, Purchaser shall be responsible for (i) collecting from Tenants the amount of any outstanding Operating Expense Recoveries for calendar year 2019, and (ii) reimbursing Tenants for amounts attributable to Operating Expense Recoveries for calendar year 2019, as may be necessary.

(c)    Any other costs and expenses of Closing not provided for in this Section 10.6 shall be allocated between Purchaser and Seller in accordance with the custom in the county in which the Property is located.
(d)    If the Closing does not occur on or before the Closing Date for any reason whatsoever, the costs incurred through the date of termination will be borne by the party incurring same.
Section 9.7    Post-Closing Delivery of Notice Letters.  Immediately following Closing, Purchaser will deliver to each Tenant (via messenger or certified mail, return receipt requested) a written notice executed by Purchaser and Seller (i) acknowledging the sale of the Property to Purchaser, (ii) acknowledging that Purchaser has received and is responsible for the Tenant Deposits (specifying the exact amount of the Tenant Deposits) and (iii) indicating that rent should thereafter be paid to Purchaser and giving instructions therefor (the “Tenant Notice Letters”).

(a)    Without limiting the provisions of the foregoing Section 12.1(a), neither Seller nor Buyer may issue a press release with respect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby without the prior written consent of the other party and provided that the content of any such press release shall be subject to the prior written consent of the other party.
(b)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Seller or its Affiliates (or any entity advised by Seller’s affiliates) shall be permitted to disclose in press releases, SEC and other filings with governmental authorities, financial statements and/or other communications such information regarding the transaction contemplated by this Agreement and/or the terms of this Agreement and any such information relating to the Property as it may reasonably believe to be necessary to comply with any applicable federal or state securities laws, rules, or regulations 





(including SEC rules and regulations), “generally accepted accounting principles,” or other accounting rules or procedures; provided that, except with respect to Seller’s 8-K and 10-K filings with the SEC, Seller shall provide written notice to Purchaser at least three (3) Business Days prior to any disclosure pursuant to this subsection (c).

IN THE EVENT THE CLOSING AND THE CONSUMMATION OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREIN DO NOT OCCUR AS PROVIDED HEREIN (TIME BEING OF THE ESSENCE) BY REASON OF ANY DEFAULT OF PURCHASER, PURCHASER AND SELLER AGREE IT WOULD BE IMPRACTICAL AND EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO FIX THE DAMAGES WHICH SELLER MAY SUFFER.

Purchaser will not have the right to assign this Agreement without Seller’s prior written consent, to be given or withheld in Seller’s sole and absolute discretion.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser may assign its rights under this Agreement to a wholly-owned and controlled Affiliate of Purchaser without the consent of Seller, provided that any such assignment does not relieve Purchaser of its obligations hereunder.  This Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Seller and Purchaser and their respective successors and permitted assigns, and no other party will be conferred any rights by virtue of this Agreement or be entitled to enforce any of the provisions hereof.  Whenever a reference is made in this Agreement to Seller or Purchaser, such reference will include the successors and permitted assigns of such party under this Agreement.
ARTICLE XV     
LIMITATIONS ON SURVIVAL AND LIABILITY
Section 15.1    Survival of Representations, Warranties and Covenants.  
(a)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the representations, warranties and covenants of Seller set forth in this Agreement and Seller’s liability under any provision of this Agreement and under any Closing Document, will survive the Closing only until the end of the Survival Period.  Purchaser shall not have any right to bring any action against Seller as a result of (i) any untruth, inaccuracy or breach of such representations, warranties, or covenants under this Agreement or any Closing Document, or (ii) the failure of Seller to perform its obligations under any other provision of this Agreement or under any other document or agreement executed in connection with this Agreement, including all documents and agreements executed at Closing (“Closing Documents”), (x) unless Purchaser has delivered written notice of such untruth, inaccuracy, breach or failure within the Survival Period, and (y) unless and until the aggregate amount of all liability and losses arising out of all such untruths, inaccuracies, breaches and failures exceeds $75,000, and then Seller’s liability shall start from the first dollar of Purchaser’s losses.  In addition, in no event will Seller’s liability for all such untruths, inaccuracies, breaches, and/or failures under Section 8.1, any other provision of this Agreement or under any Closing Documents exceed, in the aggregate, one and one-half percent (1.5%) of the Purchase Price.
(b)    Seller shall have no liability with respect to any of Seller’s representations, warranties and covenants herein if, prior to the Closing, Purchaser has actual knowledge of any breach of a representation, warranty or covenant of Seller herein, or 





Purchaser has actual knowledge (from whatever source, including, without limitation, any tenant estoppel certificates, as a result of Purchaser’s review of the Due Diligence Items and its due diligence tests, investigations and inspections of the Property, or written disclosure by Seller or Seller’s agents and employees) that contradicts any of Seller’s representations, warranties or covenants, or agreements herein, and Purchaser nevertheless consummates the transaction contemplated by this Agreement.  Purchaser’s “actual knowledge” shall mean the actual, conscious knowledge of Hunter Kass.
(c)    Subject to Sections 16.1(a) and 16.1(b), the Closing Surviving Obligations will survive Closing without limitation unless a specified period is otherwise provided in this Agreement.  All other representations, warranties, covenants and agreements made or undertaken by Seller under this Agreement will not survive the Closing Date but will be merged into the Closing Documents delivered at the Closing.  The Termination Surviving Obligations shall survive termination of this Agreement without limitation unless a specified period is otherwise provided in this Agreement. 
(d)    The limitations on Seller’s liability contained in this Article XVI are in addition to, and not limitation of, any limitation on liability provided elsewhere in this Agreement or by law or any other contract, agreement or instrument.  
ARTICLE XVI     
MISCELLANEOUS
Section 16.1    Waivers; Amendments.  No waiver of any breach of any covenant or provisions contained herein will be deemed a waiver of any preceding or succeeding breach thereof, or of any other covenant or provision contained herein.  No extension of time for performance of any obligation or act will be deemed an extension of the time for performance of any other obligation or act.  This Agreement may not be amended except in a writing signed by both Seller and Purchaser.  
Section 16.2    Recovery of Certain Fees.  In the event a party hereto files any action or suit against another party hereto by reason of any breach of any of the covenants, agreements or provisions contained in this Agreement, then the prevailing party thereto will be entitled to recover from the other party all attorneys’ fees and costs resulting therefrom, subject, however, in the case of Seller, to the limitations set forth in Section 16.1 above.  For purposes of this Agreement, the term “attorneys’ fees” or “attorneys’ fees and costs” shall mean all court costs and the fees and expenses of counsel to the parties hereto, which may include printing, photostatting, duplicating and other expenses, air freight charges, and fees billed for law clerks, paralegals and other persons not admitted to the bar but performing services under the supervision of an attorney, and the costs and fees incurred in connection with the enforcement or collection of any judgment obtained in any such proceeding.  The provisions of this Section 17.2 shall survive the entry of any judgment, and shall not merge, or be deemed to have merged, into any judgment.
Section 16.3    Time of Essence.  Seller and Purchaser hereby acknowledge and agree that time is strictly of the essence with respect to each and every term, condition, obligation and provision hereof.    





Section 16.4    Construction.  Headings at the beginning of each article and section are solely for the convenience of the parties and are not a part of this Agreement.  Whenever required by the context of this Agreement, the singular will include the plural and the masculine will include the feminine and vice versa.  This Agreement will not be construed as if it had been prepared by one of the parties, but rather as if both parties had prepared the same.  All exhibits and schedules referred to in this Agreement are attached and incorporated by this reference, and any capitalized term used in any exhibit or schedule which is not defined in such exhibit or schedule will have the meaning attributable to such term in the body of this Agreement.  In the event the date on which Purchaser or Seller is required to take any action under the terms of this Agreement is not a Business Day, the action will be taken on the next succeeding Business Day.
Section 16.5    Further Assistance.  In addition to the actions recited herein and contemplated to be performed, executed, and/or delivered by Seller and Purchaser, Seller and Purchaser agree to perform, execute and/or deliver or cause to be performed, executed and/or delivered at the Closing or after the Closing any and all such further acts, instruments, deeds and assurances as may be reasonably required to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.
Section 16.6    Counterparts; Electronic Signatures Binding.  To facilitate execution of this Agreement, this Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which, when assembled to include an original, faxed or electronic mail (in .PDF or similar file complying with the U.S. federal ESIGN Act of 2000) signature for each party contemplated to sign this Agreement, will constitute a complete and fully executed agreement.  All such fully executed original, faxed or electronic mail (in .PDF or similar file complying with the U.S. federal ESIGN Act of 2000) counterparts will collectively constitute a single agreement, and such signatures shall be legally binding upon the party sending the signature by such electronic means immediately upon being sent by such party.
Section 16.7    Severability.  If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal, or incapable of being enforced by any rule of law or public policy, all of the other conditions and provisions of this Agreement will nevertheless remain in full force and effect, so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any adverse manner to any party.  Without limiting the foregoing, if the limitation on the time period for bringing claims being limited to the Survival Period is held by a court to be unenforceable, Purchaser and Seller hereby agree that the applicable limitations period for bringing claims under this Agreement shall be reduced to the shortest period permitted under applicable law.  Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal, or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto will negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to reflect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner to the end that the transactions contemplated hereby are fulfilled to the extent possible.
Section 16.8    Entire Agreement.  This Agreement is the final expression of, and contains the entire agreement between, the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersedes all prior understandings (oral or written) with respect thereto.  This Agreement may not be modified, changed, supplemented or terminated, nor may any obligations hereunder be waived, except by 





written instrument, signed by the party to be charged or by its agent duly authorized in writing, or as otherwise expressly permitted herein.

Section 16.10    No Recording.  The parties hereto agree that neither this Agreement nor any affidavit concerning it will be recorded.
Section 16.11    Further Actions.  The parties agree to execute such instructions to the Title Company and such other instruments and to do such further acts as may be reasonably necessary to carry out the provisions of this Agreement.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, this Agreement shall not be deemed or construed to make the parties hereto partners or joint venturers, it being the intention of the parties to merely create the relationship of Seller and Purchaser with respect to the Property to be conveyed as contemplated hereby.
Section 16.15    Limitations on Benefits.  It is the explicit intention of Purchaser and Seller that no person or entity other than Purchaser and Seller and their permitted successors and assigns is or shall be entitled to bring any action to enforce any provision of this Agreement against any of the parties hereto, and the covenants, undertakings and agreements set forth in this Agreement shall be solely for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable only by, Purchaser and Seller or their respective successors and assigns as permitted hereunder.  Nothing contained in this Agreement shall under any circumstances whatsoever be deemed or construed, or be interpreted, as making any third party (including, without limitation, Broker or any Tenant) a beneficiary of any term or provision of this Agreement or any instrument or document delivered pursuant hereto, and Purchaser and Seller expressly reject any such intent, construction or interpretation of this Agreement. 
Section 16.16    Exculpation.

JOINDER BY GUARANTOR


Provided the Closing of the transaction contemplated by this Agreement occurs, the undersigned (“Guarantor”) agrees to and does guaranty, subject to the limitations on survival and liability contained in this Agreement, Seller’s post-Closing obligations under this Agreement, including any liability relating to Seller’s breach of any representation or warranty.
Guarantor does hereby waive each of the following: (a) any and all notices and demands of every kind which may be required to be given by any statute, rule or law, and (b) any and all subrogation, contribution, indemnity and reimbursement rights against Seller until the obligations have been paid, performed and fully satisfied in full. Guarantor further waives any right to require Purchaser to join Seller in any action brought under this joinder by Guarantor or to pursue any other remedy or enforce any other right.  In the event of any default hereunder, a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against Guarantor whether or not Seller is joined therein or a separate action or actions are brought against Seller.
Guarantor’s liability shall not be impaired, modified, changed, released or limited in any manner whatsoever by any impairment, modification, change, release or limitation of liability of Seller or of any remedy for the enforcement thereof, resulting from the operation of any present or future provision of the Federal Bankruptcy Code, or any similar law or statute of the United States or any state thereof covering insolvency, bankruptcy, rehabilitation, liquidation or reorganization (collectively, “Bankruptcy Laws”), it being the intention of Guarantor that Guarantor’s liability hereunder shall be determined without regard to any Bankruptcy Laws which may relieve Seller of any obligations.
