Purchase Price to Remove or cause to be Removed any such Title Objections. If Seller is unable to Remove any such Title Objections at or prior to the Closing, Buyer may at Closing elect to either (a) terminate this Agreement, in which event the
Deposit shall be paid to Buyer and, thereafter, the parties shall have no further rights or obligations hereunder except for obligations which expressly survive the termination of this Agreement, or (b) accept such exceptions to title and the
Closing shall occur as herein provided without any reduction of or credit against the Purchase Price.

to all amounts due under the applicable Lease or obligation at the time of collection (i.e., current Rents and sums due Buyer as the current owner and landlord) with the balance (if any) payable to Seller, but only to the extent of amounts
delinquent and actually due Seller. Buyer shall not have an exclusive right to collect the Rents or other revenue due Seller and Seller hereby retains its rights to pursue claims against any tenant under the Leases or other party for sums due with
respect to periods prior to the Closing Date; provided, however, that with respect to any legal proceedings against any tenant under a Lease, Seller (a) shall be required to notify Buyer in writing of its intention to commence or pursue
such legal proceedings; (b) shall only be permitted to commence or pursue any legal proceedings after the date which is three (3) months after Closing; and (c) shall not be permitted to commence or pursue any legal proceedings against
any tenant seeking eviction of such tenant or the termination of the underlying Lease. The terms of this Section 6.1.3 shall survive the Closing and not be merged therein. 
  
 6.2 Lease Expenses. At Closing, Buyer shall reimburse Seller for the Reimbursable Lease Expenses to the
extent required by the terms of Article 14. 
  
 6.3
Real Estate and Personal Property Taxes. 
  
 6.3.1 Proration of Ad Valorem Taxes. Buyer and Seller shall only prorate ad valorem real estate and personal property taxes for the Property that are actually due and payable, based on the maximum discount
available for early payment, during the Closing Tax Year, regardless of the year for which such taxes are assessed. As a result, if real estate or personal property taxes for the Property are paid in arrears (i.e., taxes paid during any Tax
Year are assessed for or otherwise attributable to the previous Tax Year), there shall be no proration of real estate taxes assessed for or attributable to the Property for the Closing Tax Year (that would be due and payable during the following Tax
Year). There shall be no proration of ad valorem real estate or personal property taxes other than as set forth hereinabove and, as between Buyer and Seller, Buyer agrees that it shall be solely responsible for all such ad valorem real
estate and personal property taxes due and payable after the Closing. The 

  

 10 








 
proration of the ad valorem real estate and personal property taxes actually due and payable during the Closing Tax Year shall be calculated as follows:

  
 (a) Seller shall be responsible for that portion of
such taxes equal to (i) the total such taxes due and payable during the Closing Tax Year, multiplied by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of days in the Closing Tax Year prior to the Closing Date,
and the denominator of which shall be the number of days in the Closing Tax Year; and 
  
 (b) Buyer shall be responsible for that portion of such taxes equal to (i) the total such taxes due and payable during the Closing Tax Year,
multiplied by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of days in the Closing Tax Year subsequent to and including the Closing Date, and the denominator of which shall be the number of days in the Closing Tax
Year. 
  
 6.3.2 Insufficient Information.
If, at Closing, the real estate and/or personal property tax rate and assessments have not been set for the taxes due and payable during the Closing Tax Year, then the proration of such taxes shall be based upon the rate and assessments for
the preceding Tax Year. 
  
 6.3.3 Special
Assessments. Seller shall pay all installments of special assessments due and payable prior to the Closing Date and Buyer shall pay all installments of special assessments due and payable on and after the Closing Date; provided,
however, that (a) if the owner of the Property has the election to pay any special assessment either immediately or under a payment plan with interest, Seller may elect to pay under a payment plan, which election shall be binding on Buyer
upon written notice of the same to Buyer; and (b) Seller shall not be required by the foregoing to pay any installments of special assessments which have not been confirmed or which relate to projects that have not been completed on the date
hereof. 
  
 6.3.4 Tenant
Reimbursements. Notwithstanding the foregoing terms of this Article 6, Seller shall have no obligation to pay (and Buyer shall not receive a credit at Closing for) any real estate or personal property taxes or special assessments to
the extent that Buyer is entitled after Closing to reimbursement of taxes and assessments, or the recovery of any increase in taxes and assessments, from the tenants under the Leases, regardless of whether Buyer actually collects such reimbursement
or increased taxes and assessments from such tenants, it being understood and agreed by Buyer and Seller that (a) as between Buyer and Seller, Buyer shall be responsible for payment of all of such real estate or personal property taxes and
assessments, (b) the burden of collecting such reimbursements shall be solely on Buyer, and (c) if applicable, Seller shall give Buyer a credit against the Purchase Price in the aggregate amount of any such reimbursement collected prior to
Closing for real estate or personal property taxes or special assessments for which Buyer is responsible. Furthermore, Seller and Buyer acknowledge and agree that, notwithstanding any provision in any of the Leases to the contrary, the tax
reimbursement payments to be paid by tenants of the Property during the Closing Tax Year are to be applied to pay the real estate taxes due and payable during the Closing Tax Year and, therefore, Buyer shall not receive a credit for any amounts due
and payable by tenants of the Property prior to the Closing as real estate tax reimbursements. 
  
 6.3.5 Reassessments. In the event the Property has been assessed for property tax purposes at such rates as would result
in reassessment (i.e., “escape assessment” or “roll-back taxes”) based upon the change in land usage or ownership of the Property on or after the Closing Date, Buyer hereby agrees to pay all such taxes and to indemnify and
save Seller harmless from and against all Liabilities for such taxes. Such indemnity shall survive the Closing and not be merged therein. 
  
 6.4 Other Property Operating Expenses. Operating expenses for the Property shall be prorated as of 12:01 a.m. on the Closing Date.
Seller shall pay all utility charges and other operating expenses attributable to the Property to, but not including the Closing Date (except for those utility charges and operating expenses payable by tenants in accordance with the Leases) and
Buyer shall pay all utility charges and other operating expenses attributable to the Property on or after the Closing Date. To the extent that the amount of actual consumption of any utility services is not determined prior to the Closing 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,
which obligation shall survive the Closing and not be merged therein. Seller shall not assign to Buyer any deposits that Seller has with any of the utility services or companies servicing the Property. Buyer shall arrange with such services and
companies to have accounts opened in Buyer’s name 

  

 11 








 
beginning at 12:01 a.m. on the Closing Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing terms of this Section, Seller shall have no obligation to pay (and Buyer shall not receive a
credit at Closing for) any operating expenses to the extent that Buyer is entitled after Closing to reimbursement of operating expenses, or the recovery of any increase in operating expenses, from the tenants under the Leases, regardless of whether
Buyer actually collects such reimbursement or increased operating expenses from such tenants, it being understood and agreed by Buyer and Seller that (a) as between Buyer and Seller, Buyer shall be responsible for payment of all of such
operating expenses, (b) the burden of collecting such reimbursements shall be solely on Buyer, and (c) if applicable, Seller shall give Buyer a credit against the Purchase Price in the aggregate amount of any such reimbursement collected
prior to Closing for such expenses for which Buyer is responsible. 
  
 6.5 Closing Costs. Buyer shall pay the following costs and expenses associated with the following: (a) all costs of Buyer’s Due Diligence, including fees due its consultants and attorneys, (b) all
lenders’ fees related to any financing to be obtained by Buyer, (c) all recording and filing charges in connection with the instruments by which Seller conveys the Property, (d) the commission due Buyer’s Broker, (e) one
half of all escrow or closing charges, (f) all premiums and charges of the Title Company for the Title Commitment and the Owner’s Title Policy (including endorsements), (g) intentionally omitted, (h) one-half (1/2) of all

taxes and similar charges, if any, applicable to the financing to be obtained by Buyer, including, without limitation, in connection with the recording and filing of any mortgage, security instrument, financing instrument, financing statement or
similar instrument. Seller shall pay the following costs and expenses associated with the Transaction: (i) the commission due Seller’s Broker, (ii) all fees due its attorneys, (iii) all costs incurred in connection with causing
the Title Company to Remove any Required Removal Exceptions, (iv) one half of all escrow or closing charges, (v) the cost of the Survey (including any Survey costs incurred by Seller in anticipation of the sale of the Property) and
(vi) one-half (1/2) of all transfer taxes, sales taxes, documentary stamp taxes and similar charges, if any, applicable to the transfer of the Property to Buyer (provided, that, Buyer shall be solely responsible for any and all transfer
taxes, recordation taxes, sales taxes, documentary stamp taxes and similar charges, if any, applicable to the financing to be obtained by Buyer, including, without limitation, in connection with the recording and filing of any mortgage, security
instrument, financing instrument, financing statement or similar instrument). 
  
 6.6 Cash Security Deposits. At Closing, Seller shall give Buyer a credit against the Purchase Price in the aggregate amount of any cash security deposits together with accrued interest therein that may be
required under applicable Maryland law then held by Seller under the Leases less any administrative or similar charges to which Seller may be entitled under applicable Law. 
  
 6.7 Apportionment Credit. In the event the apportionments to be made at the Closing result in a credit
balance (a) to Buyer, such sum shall be paid at the Closing by giving Buyer a credit against the Purchase Price in the amount of such credit balance, or (b) to Seller, Buyer shall pay the amount thereof to Seller at the Closing by wire
transfer of immediately available funds to the account or accounts to be designated by Seller for the payment of the Purchase Price. 
  
 6.8 Delayed Adjustment; Delivery of Operating and Other Financial Statements. If at any time following the Closing Date, the amount of
an item prorated or credited at Closing as listed in any section of this Article 6 shall prove to be incorrect (whether as a result of an error in calculation or a lack of complete and accurate information as of the Closing) or otherwise
require adjustment as a result of any year-end or periodic reconciliations of reimbursable operating expenses or tax payments by a tenant under a Lease, the party owing money as a result of such error or adjustment shall promptly pay to the other
party the sum necessary to correct such error or make such adjustment upon receipt of proof of the same, provided that such proof is received by the party from whom payment is to be made on or before sixty (60) days after Closing (such period
being referred to herein as the “Post Closing Adjustment Period”). In order to enable Seller to determine whether any such delayed adjustment is necessary, Buyer shall provide to Seller current operating and financial statements (or
such excerpts thereof as are sufficient to provide the information necessary for the determination of such adjustments) for the Property and copies of any applicable correspondence and statements sent to tenants in connection with any reconciliation
promptly after the same are prepared, but, in any event, no later than the date one (1) month prior to the expiration of the Post-Closing Adjustment Period. The provisions of this Section 6.8 shall survive the Closing and not be
merged therein.

therein for a period of one hundred twenty (120) days and Seller shall only be liable to Buyer hereunder for a breach of a Seller’s Warranty with respect to which a claim is made by Buyer against Seller on or before one hundred fifty

resulting from (a) the breach of the terms of Subsection 10.1.1 or (b) the entry on the Real Property and/or the conduct of any Due Diligence by Buyer or any of Buyer’s Representatives at any time prior to the Closing;
provided, however, that Buyer’s obligations under this clause (b) shall not apply to the mere discovery of a pre-existing environmental or physical condition at the Property. The provisions of this section shall survive the Closing (and
not be merged therein) or any earlier termination of this Agreement. 
  
 10.2 Seller’s Covenants. Seller hereby covenants as follows: 
  
 10.2.1 Service Contracts. 
  
 (a) Without Buyer’s prior consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, between the date hereof and the
Closing Date Seller shall not extend, renew, replace or otherwise modify any Contract or enter into any new service contract or agreement unless such Contract, service contract or agreement (as so extended, renewed, replaced or modified) can be
terminated by the owner of the Property without penalty on not more than thirty (30) days’ notice. 
  
 (b) On or before the Closing, Seller shall terminate any management agreements currently in effect with respect to the Property at the sole cost and
expense of Seller. 
  
 10.2.2 Maintenance of
Property. Except to the extent Seller is relieved of such obligations by Article 12 hereof, between the date hereof and the Closing Date Seller shall maintain and keep the Property in a manner consistent with Seller’s past
practices with respect to the Property; provided, however, that, subject to Buyer’s right to terminate this Agreement prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period in accordance with the terms of Article 5 hereof, Buyer
hereby agrees that, except for breaches of this Section 10.2.2. Buyer shall accept the Property subject to, and Seller shall have no obligation to cure, (a) any violations of Laws, or (b) any physical conditions that would give
rise to violations of Laws, whether the same now exist or arise prior to Closing. Between the date hereof and the Closing Date, Seller will advise Buyer of any written notice Seller receives after the date hereof from any governmental authority of
the violation of any Laws regulating the condition or use of the Property. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, in the event of any change in Laws arising after the expiration of the Due Diligence Period (the
“New Laws”) that results in the use, ownership or operation of the Property failing to comply with any such New Laws (provided, that, in the event that the current use, ownership or opertion of the Property is in compliance
with such New Laws and any change thereto would cause noncompliance with such New Laws, then the Property shall be deemed to be in compliance with such New Laws), which would require the expenditure of in excess of $25,000 to remedy, in Buyer’s
and Seller’s mutual reasonable discretion, to remedy, then, at Seller’s election, in Seller’s sole discreion, either (i) Seller shall cause the Property to be in material compliance with such New Laws prior to the Closing
Deadline (provided that Seller shall be entitled to a reasonable adjournment of the Closing and Closing Deadline not to exceed one hundred (120) days for the purpose of causing the Property to be in material compliance with such New Laws) or
(ii) Buyer shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by written notice to Seller to be received by Seller within five (5) business days of Buyer’s receipt of notice that the Property is not in compliance with such New Laws,
and, in the event of such termination, neither Seller nor Buyer shall have any liability hereunder except for those obligations which expressly survive the termination of this Agreement and Buyer shall be entitled to the return of the Deposit.

  
 10.3 Mutual Covenants. 
  
 10.3.1 Publicity. Seller and Buyer each hereby
covenant and agree that (a) prior to the Closing neither Seller nor Buyer shall issue any Release (as hereinafter defined) with respect to the Transaction without the prior consent of the other, except to the extent required by applicable Law,
and (b) after 

  

 18 








 
the Closing, any Release issued by either Seller or Buyer shall be subject to the review and approval of both parties (which approval shall not be unreasonably
withheld, conditioned or delayed), except to the extent required by applicable Law. If either Seller or Buyer is required by applicable Law to issue a Release, such party shall, at least two (2) Business Days prior to the issuance of the same,
deliver a copy of the proposed Release to the other party for its review. As used herein, the term “Release” shall mean any press release or public statement with respect to the Transaction or this Agreement. 
  
 10.3.2 Brokers. Seller and Buyer expressly
acknowledge that Seller’s Broker and Buyer’s Broker (if any, as defined above) have acted as the exclusive brokers with respect to the Transaction and with respect to this Agreement. Seller shall pay any brokerage commission due to
Seller’s Broker in accordance with the separate agreement between Seller and Seller’s Broker. Buyer shall pay any brokerage commission due to Buyer’s Broker in accordance with the separate agreement between Buyer and Buyer’s
Broker. Seller agrees to hold Buyer harmless and indemnify Buyer from and against any and all Liabilities (including reasonable attorneys’ fees, expenses and disbursements) suffered or incurred by Buyer as a result of any claims by
Seller’s Broker or any other party claiming to have represented Seller as broker in connection with the Transaction. Buyer agrees to hold Seller harmless and indemnify Seller from and against any and all Liabilities (including reasonable
attorneys’ fees, expenses and disbursements) suffered or incurred by Seller as a result of any claims by Buyer’s Broker or any other party claiming to have represented Buyer as broker in connection with the Transaction. 
  
 10.3.3 Tax Protests, Tax Refunds and Credits.
Seller shall have the right to continue and to control the progress of and to make all decisions with respect to any contest of the real estate taxes and personal property taxes for the Property due and payable during the Closing Tax Year
and all prior Tax Years. Buyer shall have the right to control the progress of and to make all decisions with respect to any tax contest of the real estate taxes and personal property taxes for the Property due and payable during all Tax Years
subsequent to the Closing Tax Year. All real estate and personal property tax refunds and credits received after Closing with respect to the Property shall be applied in the following order of priority: first, to pay the costs and expenses
(including reasonable attorneys’ fees, expenses and disbursements) incurred in connection with obtaining such tax refund or credit; second, to pay any amounts due to any past or present tenant of the Property as a result of such tax refund or
credit to the extent required pursuant to the terms of the Leases; and third, apportioned between Buyer and Seller as follows: 
  
 (a) with respect to any refunds or credits attributable to real estate and personal property taxes due and payable during the Closing Tax Year
(regardless of the year for which such taxes are assessed), such refunds and credits shall be apportioned between Buyer and Seller in the manner provided in Section 6.3; 
  
 (b) with respect to any refunds or credits attributable to real estate and personal property taxes due and payable
during any period prior to the Closing Tax Year (regardless of the year for which such taxes are assessed), Seller shall be entitled to the entire refunds and credits; and 
  
 (c) with respect to any refunds or credits attributable to real estate and personal property taxes due and payable
during any period after the Closing Tax Year (regardless of the year for which such taxes are assessed), Buyer shall be entitled to the entire refunds and credits. 
  
 10.3.4 Survival. The provisions of this Section 10.3 shall survive the Closing
(and not be merged therein) or earlier termination of this Agreement. 
  
 ARTICLE 11—DEFAULT 
  
 11.1 Buyer
Default. If, on or before the Closing Date, (i) Buyer is in default of any of its obligations hereunder, or (ii) any of Buyer’s representations or warranties are, in the aggregate, untrue, inaccurate or incorrect in any
material respect, or (iii) the Closing otherwise fails to occur by reason of Buyer’s failure or refusal to perform its obligations hereunder in a prompt and timely manner, and any such circumstance described in any of clauses (i),
(ii) or (iii) continues for five (5) days after written notice from Seller to Buyer, which written notice shall detail such default, untruth or failure, as applicable, then Seller may elect to (a) terminate this Agreement by
written notice to Buyer, promptly after which the Deposit shall be paid to Seller as liquidated damages and, thereafter, the parties shall have no further rights or obligations 

  

 19 








 
hereunder except for obligations which expressly survive the termination of this Agreement; or (b) waive the condition and proceed to close the Transaction. If
this Agreement is so terminated, then Seller shall be entitled to the Deposit as liquidated damages, and thereafter 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 survives the termination of this Agreement. 
  
 11.2 Seller Default. If, at the Closing, (i) Seller is in default of any of its obligations hereunder, or (ii) any of Seller’s Warranties are, in the aggregate, untrue, inaccurate or
incorrect in any material respect, or (iii) the Closing otherwise fails to occur by reason of Seller’s failure or refusal to perform its obligations hereunder in a prompt and timely manner, and any such circumstance described in any of
clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) continues for five (5) days after written notice from Buyer to Seller, which written notice shall detail such default, untruth or failure, as applicable, then Buyer shall have the right, to elect, as its
sole and exclusive remedy, to (a) terminate this Agreement by written notice to Seller, promptly after which any Deposit shall be returned to Buyer and, thereafter, the parties shall have no further rights or obligations hereunder except for
obligations which expressly survive the termination of this Agreement, or (b) waive the condition and proceed to close the Transaction, or (c) seek specific performance of this Agreement by Seller. As a condition precedent to Buyer
exercising any right it may have to bring an action for specific performance hereunder, Buyer must commence such an action within one hundred twenty (120) days after the occurrence of Seller’s default. Buyer agrees that its failure to
timely commence such an action for specific performance within such one hundred twenty (120) day period shall be deemed a waiver by it of its right to commence an action for specific performance as well as a waiver by it of any right it may
have to file or record a notice of lis pendens or notice of pendency of action or similar notice against any portion of the Property. 
  
 ARTICLE 12—CONDEMNATION/CASUALTY 
  
 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) Business Days after the
giving of Seller’s notice, and the Closing Deadline 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) Business 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 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 of Seller to, and Buyer shall be entitled to receive and retain, such awards or proceeds; provided, however, that
within one (1) Business 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. The provisions in this Section 12.2 (b) shall
survive the Closing and not be merged therein. 
  

 20 








 12.3 Insurance. Seller shall maintain the property insurance coverage currently in effect for
the Property, or comparable coverage, through the Closing Date. 
  
 12.4 Waiver. The provisions of this Article 12 supersede the provisions of any applicable Laws with respect to the subject matter of this Article 12. 
  
 ARTICLE 13—ESCROW 
  
 The Deposit and any other sums (including, without limitation, any interest earned
thereon) which the parties agree shall be held in escrow (herein collectively called the “Escrow Deposits”), shall be held by the Escrow Agent, in trust, and disposed of only in accordance with the following provisions: 

 
 13.1 Deposit. The Escrow Agent shall invest the Escrow
Deposits in government insured interest-bearing instruments reasonably satisfactory to both Buyer and Seller, shall not commingle the Escrow Deposits with any funds of the Escrow Agent or others, and shall promptly provide Buyer and Seller with
confirmation of the investments made. 
  
 13.2 Delivery.
If the Closing occurs, the Escrow Agent shall deliver the Escrow Deposits to, or upon the instructions of, Seller on the Closing Date. 
  
 13.3 Failure of Closing. If for any reason the Closing does not occur, the Escrow Agent shall deliver the Escrow Deposits to Seller or Buyer
only upon receipt of a written demand therefor from such party, subject to the following provisions of this Section 13.3. If for any reason the Closing does not occur and either party makes a written demand upon the Escrow Agent for
payment of the Escrow Deposits, the Escrow Agent shall give written notice to the other party of such demand. If the Escrow Agent does not receive a written objection from the other party to the proposed payment within ten (10) days after the
giving of such notice, the Escrow Agent is hereby authorized to make such payment. If the Escrow Agent does receive such written objection within such period, the Escrow Agent shall continue to hold such amount until otherwise directed by written
instructions signed by Seller and Buyer or a final judgment of a court. 
  
 13.4 Stakeholder. The parties acknowledge that the Escrow Agent is acting solely as a stakeholder at their request and for their convenience, that the Escrow Agent shall not be deemed to be the agent of either of the
parties, and that the Escrow Agent shall not be liable to either of the parties for any action or omission on its part taken or made in good faith, and not in breach of this Agreement, but shall be liable for its negligent acts and for any
Liabilities (including reasonable attorneys’ fees, expenses and disbursements) incurred by Seller or Buyer resulting from the Escrow Agent’s mistake of Law respecting the Escrow Agent’s scope or nature of its duties. Seller and Buyer
shall jointly and severally indemnify and hold the Escrow Agent harmless from and against all Liabilities (including reasonable attorneys’ fees, expenses and disbursements) incurred in connection with the performance of the Escrow Agent’s
duties hereunder, except with respect to actions or omissions taken or made by the Escrow Agent in bad faith, in breach of this Agreement or involving gross negligence on the part of the Escrow Agent. 
  
 13.5 Taxes. Buyer shall pay any income taxes on any interest
earned on the Escrow Deposits. Buyer represents and warrants to the Escrow Agent that its taxpayer identification number is                     .

  
 13.6 Execution By Escrow Agent. The Escrow
Agent has executed this Agreement in the place indicated on the signature page hereof in order to confirm that the Escrow Agent has received and shall hold the Escrow Deposits, in escrow, and shall disburse the Escrow Deposits pursuant to the
provisions of this Article 13. 
  
 13.7
Survival. The provisions of this Article 13 shall survive the Closing (and not be merged therein) or earlier termination of this Agreement. 
  
 ARTICLE 14—LEASE EXPENSES 
  
 14.1 New Leases; Lease Modifications. After the Commencement Date, except as may be permitted by the terms of this
Section 14.1, Seller shall not, without either (A) prior written notice to Buyer, provided such written notice is received by Buyer on or before three (3) Business Days before the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, or
(B) thereafter, Buyer’s prior written consent, (a) enter into a New Lease; (b) modify or amend any Lease (except pursuant to the exercise by a tenant of a renewal, extension or expansion option or other right contained in such
tenant’s Lease); or (c) consent to any assignment or sublease in connection with any Lease. Seller shall furnish Buyer with a written notice of the proposed transaction which shall 

  

 21 








 
contain information that Seller believes is reasonably necessary to enable Buyer to make informed decisions with respect to the advisability of the proposed
transaction. If Buyer fails to object in writing to any such proposed transaction within three (3) Business Days after receipt of the aforementioned information, Buyer shall be deemed to have approved the proposed transaction. Buyer, in its
sole and absolute discretion, shall be entitled to grant or withhold its consent with respect to any such transaction that is proposed between the expiration of the Due Diligence Period and the Closing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Lease
requires that the landlord’s consent be given under the applicable circumstances, then Buyer shall be deemed ipso facto to have approved such action; and if any Lease requires that the landlord’s consent be subject to standards of
discretion (such as that such consent not be unreasonably withheld), then Buyer shall be obligated to consider Buyer’s consent under the same standard of discretion. Any notice from Buyer rejecting a proposed transaction shall include a
description of the reasons for Buyer’s rejection. The foregoing notwithstanding, in the event Buyer has rejected any transaction that was proposed and, thereafter, Seller notifies Buyer that Seller intends to effect such proposed transaction,
Buyer shall have the right, within three (3) Business Days after receipt of Seller’s notice that Seller has taken such action, to elect to terminate this Agreement by the delivery to Seller of a written notice of termination, in which case
the Deposit shall be paid to Buyer and, thereafter, the parties shall have no 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.
If Buyer fails to notify Seller within such time period, Buyer shall be deemed to have fully waived any rights to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 14.1. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Agreement, Seller shall have the right to enter into the following New Leases at any time prior to Closing without the prior written consent of Buyer: any New Lease leased to a tenant as a self storage facility for a term not to exceed one
(1) year and at a monthly rental not less than the average monthly rental rate that was in effect for the lease of such self storage facility prior to the execution of such New Lease. Seller shall deliver to Buyer a true and complete copy of
each such New Lease, renewal or extension agreement, modification, or amendment, as the case may be, promptly after the execution and delivery thereof. 
  
 14.2 Lease Enforcement. Seller shall have the right, but not the obligation, to enforce the rights and remedies of the landlord under
any Lease, by summary proceedings or otherwise (including, without limitation, the right to remove any tenant), and to apply all or any portion of any security deposits then held by Seller toward any loss or damage incurred by Seller by reason of
any defaults by tenants, and the exercise of any such rights or remedies shall not affect the obligations of Buyer under this Agreement in any manner or entitle Buyer to a reduction in, or credit or allowance against, the Purchase Price or give rise
to any other claim on the part of Buyer. 
  
 14.3 Lease
Expenses. At Closing, Buyer shall reimburse Seller for Buyer’s pro rata share of any and all Reimbursable Lease Expenses to the extent that the same have been paid or incurred by Seller prior to Closing. In addition, at
Closing, Seller shall pay to Buyer for Seller’s pro rata share of any and all Reimbursable Lease Expenses to the extent that the same are unpaid as of Closing and, as a result, (a) Buyer shall assume Seller’s obligations to
pay, when due (whether on a stated due date or accelerated) any Reimbursable Lease Expenses unpaid as of the Closing, and (b) Buyer hereby agrees to indemnify and hold Seller harmless from and against any and all Liabilities (including
reasonable attorneys’ fees, expenses and disbursements) with respect to such Reimbursable Lease Expenses which remain unpaid for any reason at the time of Closing, which obligations of Buyer shall survive the Closing and shall not be merged
therein. For purposes of determining Buyer’s and Seller’s pro rata share of Reimbursable Lease Expenses, such costs and expenses shall be apportioned between Buyer and Seller based upon the proportion of the affected term of the
applicable Lease, renewal, extension, or expansion, as the case may be (exclusive of any “free rent” periods), that falls within each of Buyer’s and Seller’s period of ownership of the Property. Each party shall make available to
the other all records, bills, vouchers and other data in such party’s control verifying Reimbursable Lease Expenses and the payment thereof. 
  
 ARTICLE 15—MISCELLANEOUS 
  
 15.1 Buyer’s Assignment. Except with respect to a limited liability company (the “Buyer LLC”) in which Buyer
retains majority ownership and control, Buyer shall not assign this Agreement or its rights hereunder to any individual or entity without the prior written consent of Seller, which consent Seller may grant or withhold in its sole and absolute
discretion, and any such assignment shall be null and void ab initio. In the event of any permitted assignment by Buyer, including, without limitation, any assignment to the Buyer LLC, any 

  

 22 








 
assignee, including the Buyer LLC, shall assume any and all obligations and liabilities of Buyer under this Agreement but, notwithstanding such assumption, Buyer shall
continue to be liable hereunder. 
  
 15.2 Designation
Agreement. Section 6045(e) of the United States Internal Revenue Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder (herein collectively called the “Reporting Requirements”) require an information return to be made
to the United States Internal Revenue Service, and a statement to be furnished to Seller, in connection with the Transaction. Escrow Agent is either (i) the person responsible for closing the Transaction (as described in the Reporting
Requirements) or (ii) the disbursing title or escrow company that is most significant in terms of gross proceeds disbursed in connection with the Transaction (as described in the Reporting Requirements). Accordingly: 
  
 (a) Escrow Agent is hereby designated as the “Reporting
Person” (as defined in the Reporting Requirements) for the Transaction. Escrow Agent shall perform all duties that are required by the Reporting Requirements to be performed by the Reporting Person for the Transaction. 
  
 (b) Seller and Buyer shall furnish to Escrow Agent, in a timely
manner, any information requested by Escrow Agent and necessary for Escrow Agent to perform its duties as Reporting Person for the Transaction. 
  
 (c) Escrow Agent hereby requests Seller to furnish to Escrow Agent Seller’s correct taxpayer identification number. Seller acknowledges that
any failure by Seller to provide Escrow Agent with Seller’s correct taxpayer identification number may subject Seller to civil or criminal penalties imposed by Law. Accordingly, Seller hereby certifies to Escrow Agent, under penalties of
perjury, that Seller’s correct taxpayer identification number is 75-1933081. 
  
 (d) Each of the parties hereto shall retain this Agreement for a period of four (4) years following the calendar year during which Closing
occurs. 
  
 15.3 Survival/Merger. Except for
the provisions of this Agreement which are explicitly stated to survive the Closing, (a) none of the terms of this Agreement shall survive the Closing, and (b) the delivery of the Purchase Price, the Deed and the other Closing Documents
and the acceptance thereof shall effect a merger, and be deemed the full performance and discharge of every obligation on the part of Buyer and Seller to be performed hereunder. 
  
 15.4 Integration; Waiver. This Agreement, together with the Exhibits hereto, embodies and constitutes the
entire understanding between the parties with respect to the Transaction and all prior agreements, understandings, representations and statements, oral or written, are merged into this Agreement. Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may
be waived, modified, amended, discharged or terminated except by an instrument signed by the party against whom the enforcement of such waiver, modification, amendment, discharge or termination is sought, and then only to the extent set forth in
such instrument. No waiver by either party hereto of any failure or refusal by the other party to comply with its obligations hereunder shall be deemed a waiver of any other or subsequent failure or refusal to so comply. 
  
 15.5 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by,
and construed in accordance with, the Law of the State in which the Property is located. 
  
 15.6 Captions Not Binding; Exhibits. The captions in this Agreement are inserted for reference only and in no way define, describe or limit the scope or intent of this Agreement or of any of the
provisions hereof. All Exhibits attached hereto shall be incorporated by reference as if set out herein in full. 
  
 15.7 Binding Effect. This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective
successors and permitted assigns. 
  
 15.8
Severability. If any term or provision of this Agreement or the application thereof to any persons or circumstances 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 term and provision of this Agreement shall be valid and enforced to the fullest extent
permitted by Law. 
  
 15.9 Notices. Any notice,
request, demand, consent, approval and other communications under this Agreement shall be in writing, and shall be deemed duly given or made at the time and on the date when received by facsimile or by e-mail (provided that the sender of such
communication shall orally confirm receipt thereof by the appropriate parties) or when personally delivered as shown on a receipt therefor 

  

 23 








 
(which shall include delivery by a nationally recognized overnight delivery service such as Federal Express, UPS Next Day Air, Purolator Courier or Airborne Express)

 15.10
Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be an original and all of which counterparts taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. 
  
 15.11 No Recordation. Seller and Buyer each agrees that
neither this Agreement nor any memorandum or notice hereof shall be recorded and Buyer agrees (a) not to file any notice of pendency or other instrument (other than a judgment) against the Property or any portion thereof in connection herewith
and 

  

 24 








 
(b) to indemnify Seller against all Liabilities (including reasonable attorneys’ fees, expenses and disbursements) incurred by Seller by reason of the filing
by Buyer of such notice of pendency or other instrument. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the same is permitted pursuant to applicable Laws, Buyer shall be entitled to record a notice of lis pendens if Buyer is entitled to seek (and is actually
seeking) specific performance of this Agreement by Seller in accordance with the terms of Section 11.2 hereof. 
  
 15.12 Additional Agreements; Further Assurances. Subject to the terms and conditions herein provided, each of the parties hereto shall execute
and deliver such documents as the other party shall reasonably request in order to consummate and make effective the Transaction; provided, however, that the execution and delivery of such documents by such party shall not result in any additional
liability or cost to such party. 
  
 15.13
Construction. The parties acknowledge that each party and its counsel have reviewed and revised this Agreement and that the normal rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party
shall not be employed in the interpretation of this Agreement or any amendment or modification hereof or any of the Closing Documents. 
  
 15.14 ERISA. Buyer represents and warrants to Seller (as used in this Section, Seller shall be deemed to mean “Seller”) that:

  
 (a) Buyer’s rights under this Agreement do not,
and upon its acquisition by Buyer the Property shall not, constitute “plan assets” within the meaning of 29 C.F. R. Section 2510.3-101, because one or more of the following circumstances are true: 
  
 (i) Equity interests in Buyer are publicly offered securities, within
the meaning of 29 C.F.R. Section 2510.3-101(b)(2); 
  
 (ii) Less than 25 percent of all equity interest in Buyer are held by “benefit plan investors” within the meaning of 29 C.F.R. Section 2510.3-101(f)(2); or

Transaction is otherwise in full compliance with ERISA and such applicable similar State Laws, and (iii) Seller would be in violation of ERISA or any applicable similar State Laws by complying with this Agreement or by closing the Transaction.
Seller shall not be obligated to consummate the Transaction unless and until Seller is satisfied that the Transaction complies in all respects with ERISA and any applicable similar State Laws. The obligations of Buyer under this Section shall

 ARTICLE 16—SPECIAL ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS 
  
 This Article 16 shall survive Closing. 
  
 16.1 Condition of Property. 
  
 16.1.1 Former Use. Buyer acknowledges that:
(i) the former uses of the Property involved dry cleaning activities which have resulted in Environmental Conditions (as hereinafter defined); (ii) Hazardous Materials have spilled, leaked, seeped or entered the ground or groundwater and
Hazardous Materials may still be present in, on, under or about or migrating from the Property; and (iii) Hazardous Materials are emitting vapors into buildings located on the Property. 
  
 16.1.2 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 (“VCP”) as described on Exhibit K
attached hereto and made a part hereof. 
  
 16.1.3
“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, including but not limited to such activities required to obtain a VCP Certificate of Completion and any other applicable Governmental Closure Document and/or comply with the terms and conditions of any such VCP
Certificate of Completion and 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 ensure that the aforesaid Letter of Credit is duly returned to Seller for cancellation at Closing or as soon as possible thereafter. 
  
 16.1.4 Environmental Services Agreement.
Concurrent with the Closing, Buyer shall enter into a services agreement with ATC Associates to carry out the Environmental Work specified in the Remedial Action Plan through and including the issuance of a VCP Certificate of Completion and any
other applicable Governmental Closure Document (the “Environmental Services Agreement”). The Environmental Services Agreement shall further provide that Seller shall be a third party beneficiary of the Environmental Services
Agreement and shall have rights to enforce the same against the service provider under the Environmental Services Agreement (the “Service Provider”) in the event that Buyer 

  

 26 








 
has defaulted on its obligations under this Article 16. The Environmental Services Agreement shall be in a form acceptable to Seller, in Seller’s sole discretion,
and shall provide for the performance of all Environmental Work that may be necessary to obtain a VCP Certificate of Completion and any other applicable Governmental Closure Document and shall be amended accordingly in the event further
Environmental Work is required by any Government Agency. At the Closing, Seller shall pay, as a credit against the Purchase Price, the amounts owed under the Environmental Services Agreement, up to a maximum amount of $75,000. Upon Closing, Buyer
shall and hereby does assume at its sole cost and expense all responsibility for the management and oversight of the Service Provider, performance under the Environmental Services 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 the Service Provider, shall be the sole obligation of Buyer, and Buyer shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless
Seller with respect to any matters arising from the Environmental Services Agreement, except with respect to the payment of the unpaid balance due at Closing, as limited above. Without limiting the foregoing, in the event that ATC Associates fails
to perform its obligations under the Environmental Services Agreement, then, after the expiration of any applicable notice and/or cure periods thereunder, Buyer shall have the right to enter into a replacement of such Environmental Services
Agreement (the “Replacement Environmental Services Agreement”), provided, that, (i) the service provider under the Replacement Environmental Services Agreement must be acceptable to Seller, in Seller’s reasonable
discretion, (ii) the Replacement Environmental Services Agreement must be acceptable to Seller, in Seller’s reasonable discretion, (iii) the Replacement Environmental Services Agreement shall be subject to the same terms and
conditions as the Environmental Services Agreement under this Agreement and (iv) Buyer shall be responsible for all costs and expenses incurred under, or in connection with, the Replacement Environmental Services Agreement, including, without
limitation, any and all expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by Seller in connection with the terms and conditions of this sentence. 
  

16.2 Pre-Closing and Post-Closing Environmental Activities. 
  
 16.2.1 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, including without limitation, the complete and timely performance of the RAP and of the terms and conditions
of any VCP Certificate of Completion and any other applicable Governmental Closure Document that is issued for the Property, which are expressly assumed by Buyer. For purposes hereof, “Environmental Conditions”
shall mean any environmental conditions including without limitation, the presence of Hazardous Materials at, on, under or migrating from the Real Property or any other condition of noncompliance or violation of Environmental Laws, existing 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. 
  
 16.2.2 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. 
  
 16.2.3 Performance and Completion of Environmental Work. 
  
 (a) 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 hereinafter defined). 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 Environmental Services Agreement after Closing except with the advance written consent of
the Seller and (2) it shall, prior to Closing and at its sole cost and expense, apply for and obtain “inculpable party” status under and pursuant to the Maryland Department of the Environment Voluntary Cleanup Program, referencing and
consistent with the Seller’s existing application and enrollment in the VCP. 
  

 27 








 (b) Prior to submitting any written document, information, comment, proposal, plan, or report
relating to the Environmental Work or Environmental Conditions to any Government Agency (“Submittal”), Buyer shall notify Seller, provide one copy of such Submittal to Seller, and allow Seller fifteen
(15) business days in which to comment on such Submittal, unless a shorter time period is required to meet any deadlines imposed by such Government Agency, in which case the Buyer shall provide Seller with such shorter time period in which to
comment. The failure of Seller to comment on the Submittal within fifteen (15) business days of notice shall automatically be deemed to constitute approval of the Submittal. Buyer shall, if reasonably and timely requested by Seller, incorporate
Seller’s requests to modify such Submittals, if Seller can show that, with respect to its requests: any such proposed modification to a Submittal (i) is in accordance with applicable Environmental Law requirements as in effect at the time
such action is taken; and (ii) is consistent with the RAP or other directives of any Government Agency; and (iii) will not significantly increase Buyer’s risk of future liability or responsibility under this Agreement. It shall not be
considered reasonable, however, for Seller to request modified action solely to require action more stringent or materially different from that required under Environmental Laws as in effect at the time the action is to be taken, and Buyer shall
have no obligation to incorporate any such requested modified action. 
  
 (c) Notwithstanding any provision of this Section 16 to the contrary, in the event of a breach of this Section 16 of the Agreement by Buyer or Buyer shall otherwise be in default hereunder and such breach or condition
of default shall continue to exist for a period of forty-five (45) days after the Buyer has received written notice of such breach or condition of default from Seller (or if such breach or condition is such that it cannot be cured within such
forty-five (45) day period, Buyer has not commenced such cure and thereafter diligently pursues the same to completion), Seller shall have the right, but not the obligation, to assume control of any and all remaining portions of the
Environmental Work. Seller may exercise this right by submitting written notice to Buyer in accordance with Section 15.9 hereof, which notice identifies the date on which Seller or its agents intend to undertake any or all remaining portions of
the Environmental Work. In the event and to the extent Seller exercises its rights under this subsection, the cost of the Environmental Work conducted by Seller or its agents shall be reimbursable to Seller as provided in Section 16.2.4 of this
Agreement. Any Environmental Work performed by Seller or its agents shall be performed in a safe, diligent, and workmanlike manner, in accordance with Environmental Law. Seller shall keep Buyer reasonably apprised of the progress of any
Environmental Work which Seller of its agents perform, and Buyer shall have the same rights to review and comment upon and dispute or disagree with any Submittals as Seller under Section 16.2.3(b) of this Agreement. In the event Seller elects
to perform any Environmental Work under this Section 16.2.3(c), Buyer hereby grants an irrevocable right of access to the Property to Seller for such purposes. 
  
 16.2.4 Indemnification and Release by Buyer. On and after the Closing Date, Buyer its
successors and assigns and all persons or entities who claim by or through it (collectively, “Buyer Parties”), hereby agree to indemnify, hold harmless and defend Seller and any and all of its officers,
partners, general partners, limited partners, related companies, parents, subsidiaries, divisions, affiliated corporations, directors, shareholders, employees, consultants, attorneys, agents, insurers of any kind, predecessors, successors, and
assigns (collectively, the “Seller Indemnified Parties”) 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, 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 Environmental Services Agreement
(collectively, the “Indemnified Matters”). 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 connection with any matter for which Seller or its designee claims indemnification, the cost of such additional counsel shall be borne by Seller.
With the exception of claims for breach or enforcement of this Agreement, Buyer Parties, 

  

 28 








 
(i) irrevocably, completely, unconditionally, and forever discharge and release Seller Indemnified Parties of and from any and all claims, demands, suits,
damages, liabilities, diminution in value, actions or causes of action of any kind whatsoever, in law or equity (collectively, “Claims”) that Buyer has, had, or may have, whether now known or hereafter discovered, whether now accrued or
hereafter accruing, and whether asserted or unasserted, arising from or directly or indirectly relating to the Indemnified Matters, including, without limitation, the presence or existence of Hazardous Materials in, on, under or about or migrating
from the Property, and (ii) agree never to commence or prosecute against any of the Seller Indemnified Parties any suit, action, or other proceeding based upon any Claims covered by the release in this Section 16.2.4. Buyer expressly
acknowledges that the obligations of this Section 16.2.4 shall not expire at any time, including upon receipt of the Certificate of Completion and any other applicable Governmental Closure Document. 
  
 16.3 Environmental Insurance Policy.
Seller has obtained an environmental insurance policy regarding the Property (the “Seller Insurance Policy”) prior to the date hereof. It shall be a condition of Closing that Buyer shall be added as an additional insured
under the Seller Insurance Policy; provided, however, Buyer shall remain liable for and shall indemnify, defend and hold Seller harmless from and against any and all loss, cost, damage or expense relating to or arising in connection with any and all
self insured retention amounts or deductible amounts payable under or otherwise payable in connection with any claim made under the Seller Insurance Policy. If Buyer obtains an environmental insurance policy (the “Buyer Insurance
Policy”) regarding the Property, prior to or after Closing, Seller shall cause the insurer under the Buyer Insurance Policy to add Seller as an additional insured under the Buyer Insurance Policy. The terms of this Section 16.3
shall survive the Closing and not be merged therein. 
  
 16.4 Deductibles. Buyer shall be responsible for paying all deductibles and any self-insured retention amounts payable under the Seller Insurance Policy and the Buyer Insurance Policy. 
  
 16.5 Deed Restriction. Notwithstanding and
without limiting any other provision of this Agreement, Buyer acknowledges and agrees that, (a) Seller’s application and participation in the VCP and the RAP are based upon non-residential use of the Property, and (b) prior to
Closing, Seller has the right and may, in its sole discretion, record in the land records of the local jurisdiction a deed restriction on the permissible uses of the Property as non-residential, such as restricted commercial and/or restricted
industrial use. 
  
 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, each party hereto has caused
this Agreement to be duly executed on its behalf on the day and year first above written.
