Seller may elect, by written notice to Buyer and Escrow Holder, to extend the Closing for up to thirty (30) days in order to complete such cure. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller’s failure to make any election regarding the contents of
any Title Objection Notice shall be deemed to be an election not to cure the title objections referenced therein. 
  
 (b) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, if any new title exception, covenant, condition, restriction, reservation, easement or
right of way affecting the current or future use and occupancy of the Property becomes of record after the effective date of the PTR and such new exception is not otherwise a Permitted Exception and arises directly or indirectly out of Seller’s
acts as the owner of the Property (each, a “New Exception”), Seller shall cure such New Exception prior to Closing; provided, however, Seller shall have the right to extend the Closing for a period up to thirty (30) days
by providing written notice thereof to Buyer if Seller is unable, after good faith commercially reasonable efforts, to cure such New Exception. With respect to all other new title exceptions, covenants, restrictions, reservations and easements that
become of record after the effective date of the PTR and which do not constitute New Exceptions hereunder, Buyer shall have five (5) days from the date that Buyer learns of the existence of such New Exception to provide Seller with a Title
Objection Notice relating thereto and Seller shall have three (3) business days from the date of its receipt of such Title Objection Notice to elect to cure or not to cure the New Exception, and, if applicable, the Closing Date shall be
extended to allow for such additional notice and cure periods. Notwithstanding the passage of the Contingency Date or the Title Objection Date, in the event that Seller elects not to cure such New Exception, Buyer shall have the right to terminate
this Agreement by delivering written notice thereof to Seller and Escrow Holder within two (2) days of the date of Seller’s election pursuant to the preceding sentence where upon the Deposit, plus interest, shall be returned to Buyer. If
Buyer fails to terminate this Agreement as aforesaid, then such New Exception shall be deemed to constitute a Permitted Exception hereunder. In the event Seller elects to cure the new Exception, Seller shall have the right, upon written notice to
Buyer and Escrow Holder, to extend the Closing Date for a period of up to sixty (60) days in order to effectuate and implement such cure. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller’s failure to make any election regarding whether to cure such
New Exception shall be deemed to be an election not to cure the New Exception.

(including, without limitation, surveys, studies, inspections and investigations) (collectively, “Inspections”) of the Property on or before the Contingency Date as shall be deemed necessary, desirable or appropriate by

or discussions. In the event that the Inspections result in any disturbance of the physical condition of the Property or any portion thereof, Buyer shall immediately, at its sole cost and expense, restore the Property to its previous condition.

will have authority to enter into this Agreement and consummate the transactions contemplated herein. 
  
 8.2 No Impediments to Performance. Buyer is not a party to any material certificate, instrument, contract, deed of trust, mortgage,
indenture, agreement, covenant or other restriction, and there is no provision in Buyer’s formation documents or regulations, or any judgment, order, writ, injunction, or decree of any court, governmental body or arbitrator, which would

 9. Survival of Buyer Representations and Warranties. The
representations and warranties made by Buyer in this Agreement shall survive the recordation of the Deed, the completion of Closing and delivery of title to the Property to Buyer. 
  
 10. Environmental. This Article 10 shall survive Closing. 
  
 10.1 Condition of Property. 
  
 10.1.1 Former Use. Buyer acknowledges that: (i) the
former uses of the Property involved dry cleaning activities which have resulted in Environmental Conditions; (ii) Hazardous Materials have spilled, leaked, seeped or entered the ground or groundwater and Hazardous Materials may still be
present on, under or about the Property; and (iii) Hazardous Materials are emitting hazardous vapors into the buildings located on the Property in excess of acceptable limits established by the Maryland Department of the Environment.

  
 10.1.2 Remedial Action Plan. Buyer acknowledges
that the Property is subject to an approved Remedial Action Plan (“RAP”) under and pursuant to the Maryland Voluntary Cleanup Program as set forth on Exhibit H attached hereto and made a part hereof.

“Environmental Work” means investigation, monitoring, active remediation, passive remediation, vapor mitigation and risk assessment or other response required under applicable Environmental Laws, as directed by the Maryland
Department of the Environment or as otherwise required to obtain a Governmental Closure Document and/or comply with the terms of any such Governmental Closure Document. As used herein, “Environmental Work” also expressly includes any
financial assurance requirements required to be posted with any Agency after Closing with respect to the aforesaid remediation to be conducted by Buyer. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that Seller currently has a $60,000 Letter of Credit posted with
the Maryland Department of the Environment for such financial assurance, and Buyer shall replace the Seller’s Letter of Credit with alternate financial assurance as of the Closing Date and shall cause the aforesaid Letter of Credit to be duly
returned to Seller for cancellation at Closing or as soon as possible thereafter. In the event that a Letter of Credit for an amount exceeding $60,000 shall be required by the Maryland Department of the Environment prior to Closing, then Buyer shall
pay for the first five hundred dollars ($500.00) of the aggregate costs and fees that Buyer incurs in obtaining the new Letter of Credit, and any costs and fees exceeding $500 shall be paid by Seller as a credit against the Purchase Price, up to a
maximum credit of $500, whereupon all remaining fees and costs shall be paid by the Buyer. 
  
 10.1.4 EMG Agreement. Concurrent with the Closing, Buyer shall enter into a Services Agreement with EMG to carry out the remedial activities specified in the Remedial Action Plan through and including
the issuance of a Governmental Closure Document (the “EMG Agreement”). The EMG Agreement shall further provide that Seller shall be a third party beneficiary of the EMG Agreement and shall have rights to enforce the same
against EMG in the event that Buyer has defaulted on its obligations under this Article 10. The terms and conditions of the EMG Agreement shall be agreed upon by Buyer and Seller on or before the Contingency Date and the same shall be reasonably
acceptable to both Parties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the EMG Agreement shall provide for the performance of all Environmental Work that may be necessary to obtain a Governmental Closure Document. At the Closing, Seller shall pay, as a credit
against the Purchase Price to be reflected on the Closing Statement, or through an escrow arrangement established by Seller at Closing, the 

  

 12 







 
full unpaid balance of the EMG Agreement, which amount shall not exceed $725,000. Upon Closing, Seller shall and hereby does assign to Buyer all of its
rights and obligations under the EMG Agreement, if any (except for the right of Seller to enforce the EMG Agreement as a third party beneficiary after a Buyer default hereunder, which right is expressly reserved unto Seller), and Buyer shall and
hereby does assume all responsibility for the management and oversight of EMG, performance under the EMG Agreement (except as expressly set forth above) and implementation of the RAP. Any change orders, additional work requirements, or other
unforeseen costs associated with the RAP, or otherwise charged by EMG, shall be the sole obligation of Buyer, and Buyer shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Seller with respect to any matters arising from the EMG Agreement, except with respect
to the payment of the unpaid balance due at Closing. 
  
 10.2
Pre-Closing and Post-Closing Environmental Activities.

 10.2.2 Post-Closing Environmental Activities. Upon Closing, Buyer shall assume, perform, manage and otherwise discharge any and all obligations to perform Environmental Work required with respect to any
Environmental Conditions (as hereinafter defined), including without limitation, the complete and timely performance of the RAP, which is expressly assumed by Buyer. For purposes hereof, “Environmental Conditions” shall mean
any environmental conditions including without limitation, the presence of Hazardous Materials, on, under or migrating from the Real Property on or before the date of Closing, whether or not the same are known to Buyer or Seller. The Buyer
acknowledges and agrees that the Property may require additional Environmental Work beyond the scope of the RAP and expressly assumes all liability and responsibility therefor. 
  
 10.2.3 Notice of Change in Environmental Work. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein,
Buyer shall provide prompt written notice to Seller of any Environmental Work beyond the scope of the current RAP that is or may reasonably be anticipated by Buyer to be required by any Agency or other party. 
  
 10.2.4 Performance and Completion of Environmental Work.
Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, Buyer shall perform all Environmental Work hereunder at its sole cost and expense. Buyer shall provide a copy to Seller of any correspondence with any Agency regarding the Governmental Closure Document
or other determination that no further Environmental Work is required immediately upon receipt thereof by Buyer and provide the same to the Insurer as identified below. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Buyer herein
covenants and agrees that (1) it shall fully comply with the terms of and shall not terminate the EMG Agreement after Closing except with the advance written consent of the Seller which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or
delayed, and (2) it shall not apply for “inculpable party” status under and pursuant to the Maryland Department of the Environment Voluntary Cleanup Program. 
  
 10.2.5 Indemnification by Buyer. On and after the Closing Date, Buyer agrees to indemnify, hold harmless and
defend Seller from and against any and all liabilities, penalties, fines, suits, claims, demands, actions, losses, expenses, investigation and remediation costs, causes of action, proceedings, judgments, executions and reasonable costs of any kind
or nature whatsoever (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of: (1) the Environmental Work; (2) the Environmental Conditions at the Property, which indemnification is expressly intended to include all claims and demands
for bodily injury and property damage relating to the Environmental Conditions that may hereafter be filed by any third party; and (3) the EMG Agreement, except as to Seller’s obligations under 10.1.4. With respect to the defense of any
matter for which Seller is indemnified, Buyer retains the right to select counsel to conduct such defense, which counsel shall be qualified and experienced in the applicable field and have sufficient trial experience in the court in which the matter
is being tried and which counsel shall be approved by Seller, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or denied. If Seller or Seller’s designee elects to retain counsel in addition to counsel provided by Buyer in 

  

 13 







 
connection with any matter for which Seller or its designee claims indemnification, the cost of such additional counsel shall be borne by Seller.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Buyer shall have no obligation to indemnify, defend or hold harmless Seller from and against the matters set forth on Exhibit H-2 attached hereto and made a part hereof.

  
 10.3 As a condition of Closing, Seller, with the cooperation
of Buyer, shall obtain an environmental insurance policy, which shall in all respects be acceptable to both Buyer and Seller (the “Insurance Policy”. The Insurance Policy shall be a pollution legal liability policy having a
minimum term of at least five (5) years and a minimum aggregate coverage limit of at least Five Million and 00/100 Dollars ($5,000,000.00) and a “per incident” self-insured retention of no more than $25,000. The insurance carrier and
the terms and conditions of the Insurance Policy shall be reasonably acceptable to Buyer; provided, however, the Parties hereby acknowledge and agree that Seller shall control the communications with and selection of the broker for the Insurance
Policy and the process of securing the same, and the terms and conditions of the Insurance Policy shall be in all respects acceptable to Seller in its sole and absolute discretion. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, both
Buyer and Seller shall approve the terms and conditions of a binding quotation for the Insurance Policy on or before a date that is five (5) days prior to the Contingency Date. 
  
 10.4 Terms of Insurance. Seller shall be responsible for payment of the policy premiums for the Insurance
Policy and endorsements thereto at the Closing as a credit against the Purchase Price, and Seller shall deliver binders of the Insurance Policy evidencing their issuance to Buyer at Closing.

deductibles and any self-insured retention amounts payable under the Insurance Policy.

 (a) Buyer has conducted (or has waived its right to conduct) all such due diligence as Buyer considered necessary or appropriate (including due diligence
with respect to Hazardous Materials or the environmental condition of the Property, including the Environmental Conditions). 
  
 (b) The Property shall be sold, and Buyer shall accept possession of the Property on the Closing Date, “AS IS, WHERE IS, WITH ALL FAULTS”, with
no right of setoff or reduction in the Purchase Price, except as otherwise expressly set forth herein. 
  
 (c) Except as set forth in Seller’s representations and warranties in Article 7 hereof, Seller and its employees, agents, contractors,
partners, successors or assigns (the “Seller Parties”) shall not have and shall not be deemed to have made any verbal or written representations, warranties, promises or guarantees (whether express, implied, statutory or
otherwise) to Buyer with respect to the Property, any matter set forth, contained or addressed in the Documents (including, but not limited to, the accuracy and completeness thereof) or the results of Buyer’s Inspections or due diligence.

  
 (d) As of the Contingency Date, Buyer shall have
independently confirmed to its satisfaction all information that it considers material to its purchase of the Property. In addition, Buyer expressly understands and acknowledges that it is possible that unknown Environmental Conditions and
liabilities, costs or claims relating to the Property may exist and that Buyer explicitly took that possibility into account in determining and agreeing to the Purchase Price, and that a portion of such consideration, having been bargained for
between parties with the knowledge of the possibility of such unknown liabilities shall be given in exchange for a full accord and satisfaction and discharge of all liabilities. 
  
 (e) At Closing, Buyer shall execute and deliver to Seller, a certificate in the form of Exhibit I attached
hereto and incorporated herein by this reference (the “As-Is Certificate and Agreement”).

 12. Casualty and Condemnation. 
  
 12.1 Right to Terminate. If, after the date hereof,
(a) any portion of the Property is taken by condemnation or eminent domain (or is the subject of a pending taking which has not yet been consummated), or (b) any portion of the Property is damaged or destroyed (excluding routine wear and
tear), Seller shall notify Buyer in writing of such fact promptly after obtaining knowledge thereof. If the Property is the subject of a Major Casualty/Condemnation that occurs after the date hereof, Buyer shall have the right to terminate this
Agreement by giving written notice to Seller no later than ten (10) days after the giving of Seller’s notice, and the Closing Date shall be extended, if necessary, to provide sufficient time for Buyer to make such election. The failure by
Buyer to so elect in writing to terminate this Agreement within such ten (10) day period shall be deemed an election not to terminate this Agreement. If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to this Section 12.1, the Deposit (with all
accrued interest) shall be returned to Buyer and, thereafter, this Agreement shall terminate and neither party to this Agreement shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder other than any arising under any section herein which expressly
provides that it shall survive the termination of this Agreement. 
  
 12.2 Allocation of Proceeds and Awards. If a condemnation or casualty occurs after the date hereof and this Agreement is not terminated as permitted pursuant to the terms of Section 12.1, then this Agreement shall remain
in full force and effect, Buyer shall acquire the remainder of the Property upon the terms and conditions set forth herein and at the Closing: 
  
 (a) If the awards or proceeds, as the case may be, have been paid to Seller prior to Closing, Buyer shall receive a credit at Closing equal to
(i) the amount of any such award or proceeds on account of such condemnation or casualty, plus (ii) if a casualty has occurred and such casualty is an insured casualty, an amount equal to Seller’s deductible with respect to
such casualty, less (iii) an amount equal to the Seller-Allocated Amounts; and 
  
 (b) to the extent that such award or proceeds have not been paid to Seller prior to Closing, (i) if a casualty has occurred and such casualty is an insured casualty, Buyer shall receive a credit at Closing equal
to Seller’s deductible with respect to such casualty, less an amount equal to the Seller-Allocated Amounts, and (ii) Seller shall assign to Buyer at the Closing (without recourse to Seller) the rights to Seller to, and Buyer shall be
entitled to receive and retain, such awards or proceeds; provided, however, that within one (1) day after receipt of such awards or proceeds, Buyer shall pay to Seller an amount equal to the Seller-Allocated Amounts not previously
paid to Seller. 
  
 12.3 Waiver. The provisions of
this Article 12 supersede the provisions of any applicable laws with respect to the subject matter of this Article 12. 
  
 13. Miscellaneous. 
  
 13.1 Entire Agreement; Modification. This Agreement constitutes the entire Agreement between the Parties pertaining to the subject matter
hereof and supersedes all prior negotiations, agreements and understandings of the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. All exhibits referred to in this Agreement are attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference. This
Agreement may not be amended or otherwise changed except by a writing executed by both Parties. 
  
 13.2 Confidentiality. Buyer agrees that the terms and conditions of this Agreement and any information concerning the Property obtained from
Seller will be used solely for the purpose of evaluating the Property. Unless and until Buyer has completed the acquisition of the Property, such information will be kept confidential by Buyer. Seller agrees that the terms and conditions of this
Agreement and any information concerning Buyer’s development plans or other contemplated work on, development of, or use of the Property shall be used solely for the purpose of this transaction, and such information shall be kept confidential
by Seller. 
  

 15 







 Seller and Buyer understand that each Party may need to disclose such confidential information or
portions thereof to those of their respective members, managers, directors, officers, employees, affiliates, agents, advisors, attorneys, accountants, consultants, lenders, investment bankers, investment partners, financial advisors, investors,
joint venture partners, development partners and developers (collectively, “Representatives”). Prior to any such disclosure, however, the disclosing Party shall inform such Representatives of the confidential nature of such
information. The Parties also agree to be responsible for any breach of this statement of confidentiality by them or their respective Representatives. In the event that either Party or their Representatives become legally compelled to disclose any
of such information, such Party and its Representatives, as the case may be, shall provide the other Party with prompt prior written notice of such requirements so that the disclosing Party may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy
and/or waive compliance with the terms of this statement of confidentiality. In the event that Buyer does not purchase the Property, the Parties (and their Representatives) will promptly return to each other copies of all of such written information
which they have provided to each other or their respective Representatives, and will destroy all copies of any analysis, compilations, studies or other documents prepared by or for each Party containing or reflecting any such information of the
other Party. This Section 13.2 shall survive Closing or termination of this Agreement. 
  
 13.3 Further Assurances. Each Party shall from and after the date hereof execute and acknowledge and deliver such further instruments and perform such additional acts as any other Party may reasonably
request to effectuate the intent of this Agreement; provided, however, that no such request may require any Party to make any material expenditure. 
  

 16 







 13.4 Notices. Any notices, demands or other communications required or permitted to be
given by any provision of this Agreement or which any Party may desire to give the other shall be given in writing, delivered personally or sent by certified mail, postage pre-paid, facsimile (with confirmation by overnight delivery), or by Federal

 13.7 Time of the Essence. Seller and Buyer hereby acknowledge and agree that time is
strictly of the essence with respect to each and every term, condition, obligation and provision hereof. 
  
 13.8 Binding Effect; Assignment. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Seller and Buyer and their respective
successors and assigns. Buyer may assign its rights, interest or obligations under this Agreement upon written notice to the Seller to any entity owned or controlled by Buyer or one or more of its members, but in all events Buyer shall remain fully
liable for the performance of its obligations, including without limitation, the performance of the Environmental Work and the Buyer indemnification contained in Section 10.3.4 hereof, after such assignment. Seller may assign any of its rights
hereunder to any financially responsible third party with the prior written consent of Buyer, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, whether before or after the Closing. 
  
 13.9 Enforcement Costs. Should either Party institute any
action or proceeding to enforce any provision of this Agreement, or for damages by reason of an alleged breach of any provision of this Agreement, or for a declaration of rights hereunder, the prevailing Party in such action, on trial or appeal,
shall be entitled to receive from the other Party all costs and expenses of such action or proceeding, including reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred by the prevailing Party in connection with such action or proceeding. Such costs and expenses
shall include, without limitation, attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses incurred in trial, on appeal and in post-judgment motions, garnishment, levy and debtor and third party examinations, discovery, and bankruptcy proceedings. The terms of
this provision shall expressly survive Closing and any termination of this Agreement. 
  
 13.10 Waivers. No Party shall be deemed to have waived any right which such Party has under this Agreement, unless this Agreement expressly provides a period of time within which such right may be
exercised and such period has expired, or unless such Party has expressly waived the same in writing. The waiver by either Party of a right, claim or default by the other Party hereunder shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any other right, claim
or default, or any subsequent default of the same kind. No waiver of a condition shall limit either Party’s liability for a breach of this Agreement. 
  
 13.11 No Third Party Beneficiary. Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein, no term or provision of this Agreement or the exhibits
hereto is intended to or shall be for the benefit of any person or entity not a party hereto, and no such other person or entity shall have any right or cause of action hereunder, nor is anything in this Agreement intended to relieve or discharge

Agreement shall be governed by, interpreted under, and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Maryland, without regard to conflicts of laws principles. 
  
 13.13 Construction. Headings at the beginning of each paragraph and subparagraph are solely for the
convenience of the Parties and are not a part of the Agreement. Whenever required by the context of this Agreement, the singular shall include the plural and the masculine shall include the feminine and vice versa. This Agreement shall not be
construed as if it had been prepared by one of the Parties, but rather as if both Parties had prepared the same. Unless otherwise indicated, all references to paragraphs and subparagraphs are to this Agreement. All exhibits referred to in this
Agreement are attached and incorporated by this reference. 
  
 13.14 Partial Invalidity. If any term or provision of this Agreement or the application thereof to any person or circumstance shall, to any extent, be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement, or the
application of such term or provision to persons or circumstances other than those as to which it is held invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby, and each such term and provision of this Agreement shall be valid and be enforced to
the fullest extent permitted by Laws. 
  

 18 







 13.15 Cumulative Remedies. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, no remedy
conferred upon a Party in this Agreement is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy herein or by law provided or permitted, but each shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing
at law, in equity or by statute. 
  
 13.16 Maintenance of
Property Records. Buyer and Seller both covenant and agree to maintain in good order financial, maintenance and environmental records relating to the Property for a period of seven (7) years after the Closing Date. Upon the request of
the other party, either Party shall provide copies of any documents or files to the other during such period and shall cooperate with the requesting Party or its designee in the event that such Party is audited by any federal or state governmental
agency with respect to the Property. The obligations of Buyer and Seller under this Section 13.16 shall expressly survive Closing. 
  
 13.17 Escrow Holder. 
  
 (a) The last Party to execute this Agreement shall, within one (1) business day after the date of this Agreement, deliver to Escrow Holder and the
other Party a fully executed copy of this Agreement. The Parties shall execute such additional instructions as may be reasonably requested by Escrow Holder; provided, however, that any such additional instructions shall not supersede this Agreement
and in any event this Agreement shall control unless specifically specified to the contrary by a writing executed by both parties hereto. Escrow Holder shall have no liability relating to the performance of its obligations hereunder, except to the
extent any claim, demand, loss or liability arises out of Escrow Holder’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. In the event of any dispute between Buyer and Seller hereunder, Escrow Holder may (a) deliver the Deposit to a court of
competent jurisdiction in the state in which the Property is located; whereupon Escrow Holder shall have no further obligations hereunder, or (b) otherwise refuse to act until it receives joint written instructions from Buyer and Seller. Buyer
and Seller jointly and severally agree to and do hereby indemnify, defend and hold harmless Escrow Holder from any claims, demands or liabilities arising out of the performance of Escrow Holder’s duties hereunder, except to the extent the same
are caused by or otherwise arise out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Escrow Holder. 
  
 (b) Actions by Escrow Holder. When Escrow Holder has received all documents and funds identified in Article 5 and has
received a closing statement approved and signed by Buyer and Seller, and written notification from Buyer and Seller that all conditions to Closing hereunder have been satisfied, then, and only then, Escrow Holder shall promptly and concurrently:

  
 (i) Release the following documents to be
recorded in the following order: (x) the Deed; then (y) any other documents which the Parties may mutually direct in writing to be recorded in the Official Records; and, upon recording, obtain conformed copies of all recorded documents for
distribution to the Parties; and cause applicable documentary or realty transfer taxes to be paid on the Property. 
  
 (ii) Disburse all funds deposited with Escrow Holder by Buyer and Seller in accordance with the closing statement executed by Seller and
Buyer and delivered to Escrow Holder at or prior to Closing. 
  
 (iii) Direct the Title Company to issue the Title Policy for the Property to Buyer. 
  
 (iv) Deliver to each Party fully executed originals of any documents (or copies thereof, if appropriate) deposited into Escrow by the
other Party pursuant hereto.
