Effective Date). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer shall assume Seller’s contract or contracts with Specialty Alarm Engineering Inc.

	b)
	Buyer’s approval of its inspection of the Property (including but not limited to its physical condition).  Commencing on the Effective Date through the Closing Date, Buyer shall have access to the Property during business hours, subject to the Tenants’ rights and terms hereof, upon reasonable advance notice to Seller to conduct an appraisal, survey/survey update, Phase I environmental assessment and other tests and examinations it deems appropriate, all at Buyer’s sole cost and expense.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, any intrusive testing or borings shall require prior written consent of Seller in its sole and absolute discretion.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Buyer and each of Buyer’s contractors, subcontractors, agents and any party entering on the Property on behalf of Buyer, will maintain commercial general liability insurance with limits of at least $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 in aggregate, and workers compensation insurance with limits at statutory minimums for the state where the Property is located and will provide certificates of insurance evidencing the same to Seller upon request, and Buyer hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Seller, Tenants and the Property harmless from and against any and all claims, costs, liens, causes of action and liabilities, including court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred in connection with any diligence activity undertaken by Buyer, or any of its contractors, subcontractors, employees or other agents; provided, however, that Buyer shall not indemnify Seller for any costs and liabilities resulting from the mere discovery of pre-existing conditions at the Property or those caused by Seller, Seller’s affiliates, employees, agents, representatives or third parties other than Buyer or Buyer’s agents, employees, contractors or representatives.  The provisions of this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

		
	c)
	Buyer’s approval of a Phase I environmental report obtained by Buyer at Buyer’s expense.  Seller shall provide Buyer with a copy of any environmental report pertaining to the Property in Seller’s possession; provided, however, any such environmental report would be delivered by Seller to Buyer as an accommodation to Buyer without any representation or warranty by Seller in regard to such environmental report whatsoever.

		
	d)
	Seller agrees to make reasonable arrangements for Buyer to interview the Tenants during the Due Diligence Period, and Buyer agrees to permit Seller to respond to any Tenant inquiry regarding the purpose of such interviews. Seller may be present, in its sole discretion, at any Tenant interview. 

Buyer may notify Seller of its termination of this Agreement for any reason or for no reason, in Buyer’s sole discretion, in writing on or before the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, in which 

LEGAL02/38577646v9

event the Buyer’s Letter of Credit (or any cash deposit substituted therefor) shall be returned to Buyer, and this Agreement shall be deemed to be null, void, terminated and of no further force or effect, except as herein to the contrary expressly provided.  If such notice is not so given prior to expiration of the Due Diligence Period, these conditions shall be deemed waived, this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect, Buyer shall deposit the Earnest Money, and Seller and Buyer shall proceed to Closing in accordance with the Agreement.  On or prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, Buyer shall notify Seller of those Service Contracts that Buyer elects to assume as of Closing and Seller shall be obligated to terminate any and all other Service Contracts as of the Closing at Seller’s sole cost and expense.    
4.    Title.  As soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Date, Seller, at its sole cost and expense, shall obtain a current commitment (“Title Commitment”) for a 2006 ALTA Owner’s Policy of Title Insurance (“Title Policy”), in the amount of the Purchase Price, covering the Land and the Improvements, from the Title Company, together with a copy of each recorded document referred to in Schedule B of the Title Commitment and as provided by the Title Company.  Buyer acknowledges that the Title Commitment will show that the Property is subject to (a) the standard printed exceptions which will appear in the Title Policy (provided however Seller shall deliver such affidavits and indemnities customarily required by the Title Company to delete the general exceptions from the Buyer’s final Title Policy); (b) real estate taxes and special assessments which are not yet delinquent; (c) the Leases; and (d) existing, recorded easements and restrictions (collectively called the “Existing Encumbrances”).  As soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Date, Seller shall cause to be delivered to Buyer and the Title Company a currently dated survey prepared to the ALTA standards described on Exhibit C, attached hereto and made a part hereof (the “Survey”).  Buyer shall have seven (7) business days after receiving the last of the Survey and the Title Commitment (including copies of all underlying documents), to raise, by written notice to Seller, any objections to the exceptions reported in the Title Commitment or matter shown on the Survey that Buyer may have.  Other than Mandatory Cure Items (as hereinafter defined), all objections not so raised shall be deemed waived, and Buyer agrees to take title to the Property subject to all encumbrances, restrictions, conditions, reservations, easements, encroachments and other matters (if any) described by the Survey and in the Title Commitment and not so objected to or which are otherwise hereafter approved by Buyer (collectively called “Permitted Encumbrances”). If Buyer so raises any such objections, Seller shall have the right, but not the obligation, to cure the same on or before the Closing Date; provided, however, that Seller shall not have any obligation to take any action or to incur any cost or expense in connection with the cure of any thereof except any (i) financing liens caused by Seller or its agents, (ii) tax liens relating to the Property, (iii) liens resulting solely from acts of Seller or its agents occurring on or after the Effective Date or (iv) other liens or encumbrances which secure other monetary obligations which in the aggregate do not exceed One Hundred Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($100,000.00) (collectively, “Mandatory Cure Items”). Seller hereby obligates itself to remove at its sole cost and expense and in a manner reasonably satisfactory to Buyer all Mandatory Cure Items. If Seller is unable or unwilling to remove any Mandatory Cure Items, Buyer may discharge the same at Closing and deduct the cost to do so from the Purchase Price and Seller shall cooperate with Buyer in doing so. Within five (5) business days after Seller’s receipt of written notice of any objections by Buyer, Seller shall notify Buyer in writing whether Seller intends to attempt to cure such objections (“Seller’s Title Cure Notice”).  If Seller does cure such objections on or before the Closing Date, 

LEGAL02/38577646v9

Buyer shall purchase the Property in accordance with the provisions hereof.  If Seller elects not to cure or fails to cure such objections that it has elected to cure on or before the Closing Date, Buyer may elect, by written notice to Seller delivered on or before the date that is five (5) business days after Buyer’s receipt of Seller’s Title Cure Notice, either (i) to purchase the Property notwithstanding such failure to cure, in accordance with the provisions hereof, and without any reduction in or abatement of the Purchase Price, subject to the matters objected to, and without any continuing obligation upon Seller to cure the same, or (ii) to terminate this Agreement as a result of such failure to cure, in which event Buyer’s Letter of Credit shall be returned to Buyer and all Earnest Money shall be paid to Buyer, with this Agreement being deemed null, void, and of no further force or effect, and such event shall not constitute a default by Seller. If Buyer fails to elect either option (i) or (ii) above, Buyer shall be deemed to have elected option (i).  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Leases and real estate taxes and special assessments that are not yet delinquent shall be deemed Permitted Encumbrances. Buyer shall also have the right to update the effective date of the Title Commitment prior to Closing, and object to any new title exceptions reflected in the updated title commitment, within three (3) business days of receiving such updated title commitment.

Within ninety (90) days after the Closing Date (the “Proration Date”), Seller shall calculate amounts due from Tenants for operating expenses incurred for Seller’s period of ownership in 2018 up to the Closing Date (the “Prorations”).  If the 

LEGAL02/38577646v9

Prorations show Seller has overcollected amounts due from the Tenants for 2018, then Seller shall pay such overcollected amount to Buyer within fifteen (15) days of the date which such overcollected amount is agreed upon between Seller and Buyer.  If the Prorations show Seller has undercollected amounts due from the Tenants for 2018, then Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to collect such amounts from the Tenants and to the extent received by Buyer to pay such undercollected amount to Seller within fifteen (15) days of the date which such undercollected amount is actually received by Buyer.  Seller shall provide Buyer with all reasonable documentation to verify the Prorations, and, upon request, Buyer shall provide Seller with all reasonable documentation of Buyer’s collection efforts and amounts received from Tenants.  

Seller will be responsible for reconciling 2017 operating expenses with the Tenants and in the event any Tenant disputes the 2017 operating expenses, Seller shall comply with the terms of the applicable lease with regard to such dispute and Seller shall reimburse such Tenant for any valid disputed 2017 operating expenses. This provision shall expressly survive Closing for a period of twelve (12) months, and if any disputes are raised with respect to the 2017 operating expenses prior to the expiration of such twelve (12) month period, this provision shall survive until such time as all such disputes are fully resolved and paid.

All cash security deposits which Seller has received from Tenants and has not applied in accordance with Leases shall be paid by Seller to Buyer at Closing. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Seller hereby retains the continuing right, which shall survive the Closing, to pursue Tenants for any payment due Landlord attributable to all periods prior to the Closing Date; Seller, shall not, however, have the right to bring eviction or other proceedings that would act to remove tenants from the Property or terminate their Leases, and further provided that Seller shall not commence any action to collect delinquent rents for sixty (60) days after Closing. 
In the event that final calculations cannot be made for any expense item, including taxes, and any income item prior to Closing, Buyer and Seller shall estimate the proration at Closing and shall reprorate such items as soon as adequate information is available.  Payments in connection with the final adjustments shall be made by Seller or Buyer, as the case may be, within ten (10) days after notice.

The provisions of this Section shall survive the Closing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the Parties elect for Seller to assign its rights and authority in any such proceedings or refunds for 2018 real estate tax proceedings to Buyer, then Buyer shall be liable for all costs and expenses to proceed with such tax proceedings after Closing, but Buyer shall have no obligation to reimburse Seller for any costs or expenses incurred by Seller in connection with such tax proceedings prior to Closing.

Buyer represents that it has not incurred and is not paying any brokerage commission, finder’s fee or fee or commission of any kind to any third party as the result hereof.  

LEGAL02/38577646v9

Seller shall have neither obligation to pay any cooperating broker nor any broker claiming by, through or under Buyer.  Each party agrees to indemnify the other against, and to hold the other harmless from, any claim for any fee or commission due or claimed to be due any party arising out of the acts or agreements of the indemnifying party, including but not limited to reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs, incurred in connection with defending against any such claim.  The agreements set forth in the preceding sentence shall survive and remain enforceable after the Closing and the execution and delivery of the Deed or any other termination of this Agreement.

	a)
	If Seller defaults with respect to, or breaches or fails to perform, one or more of the representations, covenants, warranties or other terms of this Agreement that are Seller’s obligations hereunder to comply with or perform, and as a result thereof, Closing does not occur, Buyer may, as its sole and exclusive remedy except where another remedy is specifically provided to Buyer under this Agreement, either (i) terminate this Agreement, the Earnest Money shall be paid to Buyer or the Buyer’s Letter of Credit shall be returned to Buyer, as applicable, and Seller shall reimburse Buyer for documented, reasonable, third-party, out-of-pocket costs Buyer has incurred in connection with this transaction (“Buyer’s Transaction Costs”) not to exceed Seventy-Five Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($75,000.00); (ii) enforce specific performance of this Agreement, provided, however, if an act by Seller renders the remedy of specific performance practically unavailable or ineffective because Seller granted a purchase option or right of first refusal or right of first offer to purchase the Property or sold or conveyed the Property, then, in addition to the return of the Earnest Money or Buyer’s Letter of Credit, as applicable, and reimbursement of Buyer’s Transaction Costs (subject to the cap set forth in (i) above), Buyer may pursue its remedies at law, within sixty (60) days of discovering such breach and in any event not exceeding the contemplated Survival Period, to recover its actual damages from Seller (exclusive of punitive or consequential damages), up to an aggregate sum of $250,000.00 (the “Claims Ceiling”); or (iii) waive said failure or breach and proceed to Closing.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer shall not be entitled to any remedy, and Seller shall be entitled to receive and retain the Earnest Money, in the event that as of the date of Seller’s failure to close, Buyer has committed a default under this Agreement, which default has not been cured by Buyer within five (5) days of receipt of notice by Seller of such default . 

		
	b)
	If the sale contemplated by this Agreement is not consummated because of a default under this Agreement on the part of Buyer, which default has not been cured by Buyer within five (5) days of receipt of notice by Seller of such default (with the Closing Date being extended to allow such five (5) day cure period to run), the Earnest Money shall be paid to Seller as liquidated damages and not as a penalty (with actual damages being difficult to ascertain) as Seller’s sole remedy for a default by Buyer hereunder. THE PARTIES HAVE AGREED THAT SELLER’S ACTUAL DAMAGES, IN THE EVENT OF SUCH A DEFAULT BY BUYER, WOULD BE EXTREMELY DIFFICULT OR IMPRACTICABLE TO DETERMINE.  THE 

LEGAL02/38577646v9

PARTIES ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE EARNEST MONEY HAS BEEN AGREED UPON, AFTER NEGOTIATION, AS THE PARTIES’ REASONABLE ESTIMATE OF SELLER’S DAMAGES AND AS SELLER’S EXCLUSIVE REMEDY AGAINST BUYER.

		
	c)
	If any action is brought by either party against the other party, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover court costs incurred and reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs.

B.WHEREAS, the Purchase Contract obligates Buyer to deposit a letter of credit (the “Letter of Credit”) in the sum of $500,000.00 with the Escrow Agent within two (2) business days after the Effective Date of the Purchase Contract to secure its obligations under the Purchase Contract, the Letter of Credit to be replaced by the Cash Deposit (as hereinafter defined), if the Purchase Contract is not terminated in accordance with Section 3 thereof prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period (the Letter of Credit and the Cash Deposit, together with any interest earned on the Cash Deposit, shall be referred to herein as the “Deposit”); and
C.WHEREAS, the parties now desire to set forth the terms and conditions of the Escrow.
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of Ten Dollars ($10.00) in hand paid and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:
AGREEMENTS:
1.    The parties agree that the Cash Deposit will be placed in an interest-bearing escrow account or other interest bearing instrument which Buyer may elect from among those offered by Escrow Agent.  Any interest earned on the Cash Deposit, less investment fees, shall be deemed to be part of the Deposit. All checks, money orders or drafts will be processed for collection in the normal course of business. Escrow Agent may initially deposit such funds in its custodial or escrow accounts which may result in the funds being commingled with escrow funds of others for a time; however, as soon as the Cash Deposit has been credited as collected funds to Escrow Agent’s account, then Escrow Agent shall immediately deposit the Cash Deposit into an interest bearing account with any reputable trust company, bank, savings bank, savings association, or other financial services entity approved by Seller and Buyer. Deposits held by Escrow Agent shall be subject to the provisions of applicable state statutes governing unclaimed property. Seller and Buyer will execute the appropriate Internal Revenue Service documentation for the giving of taxpayer identification information relating to this account.

2.    In the event Buyer terminates the Purchase Contract pursuant to Section 3 thereof on or before the end of the Due Diligence Period, Escrow Agent shall upon the written request of Buyer deliver the Deposit to Buyer and notify Seller of such disbursement.  Any request from Buyer received by Escrow Agent to return the Deposit to Buyer on or before the expiration of the Due Diligence Period shall constitute Buyer’s election to terminate the Purchase Contract pursuant to Section 3 of the Purchase Contract.  Buyer shall send a copy of any such request to Seller simultaneously with delivery of such request to Escrow Agent.  If the Purchase Contract is not terminated by Buyer pursuant to Section 3 of the Purchase Contract, Buyer shall replace the Letter of Credit with cash in the amount of $1,000,000.00 (the “Cash Deposit”) within one (1) business day of the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, then upon Escrow Agent’s receipt of the Cash Deposit, the Letter of Credit shall be returned to Buyer. Escrow Agent shall, no later than two (2) business days prior to the expiry date of the Letter of Credit, draw down the face amount thereof and hold the proceeds as the Deposit in accordance herewith. In the event Buyer fails to replace the Letter of Credit with the Cash Deposit within one (1) business day of the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, the Escrow Agent shall notify the parties of such default by Buyer.
3.    In the event that either party delivers a request for the Deposit to Escrow Agent after the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, Escrow Agent shall notify the other party of such request and, if Escrow Agent does not receive a notice from the other within seven (7) days after the Escrow Agent’s notice disputing the disbursement, Escrow Agent shall disburse the Deposit in accordance with the request.  In the event that any party hereto timely delivers a notice to the other parties hereto disputing a disbursement request (except that Seller shall not have the right to dispute a disbursement request made by Buyer on or prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period), Escrow Agent shall continue to hold such disputed funds until Escrow Agent shall receive a joint order from Buyer and Seller requesting such disbursement or Escrow Agent shall receive an order, judgment or decree of any court ordering disbursement.  In the event that Escrow Agent complies with any orders, judgments or decrees issued or entered by any court, Escrow Agent shall not be 

LEGAL02/38577646v9

liable to any of the parties hereto by reason of such compliance.  In the absence of such a joint order or court order, Escrow Agent may do nothing or may commence an interpleader action as set forth in Section 4 below.

4.    Escrow Agent may pay the Deposit into a court of competent jurisdiction upon commencement by Escrow Agent of an interpleader action in such court.  The costs and attorneys’ fees of Escrow Agent for such interpleader action shall be paid one-half by each of the parties.
