The Documents that are furnished or made available to Buyer pursuant to this Section 4.1 are being furnished or made available to Buyer for information purposes only and without any representation or warranty by Seller with respect thereto, express or implied, and may not be relied upon by Buyer, except for any express representations and warranties of Seller that may be set forth herein. At all times prior to Closing, including times following the “Review Period Expiration Date” (which Review Period Expiration Date is defined to be April 30, 2012), Buyer, its agents and representatives shall be entitled to conduct a “Due Diligence Inspection,” which includes the rights to: (i) enter upon the Real Property, on reasonable notice to Seller, to perform inspections of the Real Property and environmental studies and investigations of the Real Property (including, without limitation, a so-called “Phase I” study); (ii) examine and copy any and all books, records, correspondence, financial data, and all other documents and matters, public or private, maintained by Seller or its agents, and relating to receipts and expenditures pertaining to the Real Property (excluding documents subject to the attorney-client privilege, internal investor communications and confidential financial forecasts and valuations); (iii) interview tenants of the Real Property (each, a “Tenant,” and collectively, the “Tenants”); and (iv) make applicable inquiries by governmental agencies.

In the event that, as a result of Buyer’s Due Diligence Inspection, any damage occurs to the Real Property, then Buyer shall promptly repair such damage at Buyer’s sole cost and expense; provided that Buyer shall not be obligated to repair any adverse condition discovered by Buyer at the Property as long as Buyer takes reasonable steps to not exacerbate such condition. Buyer hereby indemnifies, protects, defends and holds Seller harmless from and against any and all losses, damages, claims, causes of action, judgments, damages, costs and

expenses (including reasonable fees of attorneys) (collectively, “Losses”) that Seller actually suffers or incurs as a result of (i) a breach of Buyer’s agreements set forth in this Section 4.2 in connection with the Due Diligence Inspection or (ii) physical damage to the Real Property or bodily injury caused by Buyer or its agents, employees or contractors in connection with the right of inspection granted under this Section 4.2; provided that such indemnity shall not extend to any adverse condition merely discovered on the Property by Buyer as long as Buyer takes reasonable steps to not exacerbate such condition. Prior to Buyer entering the Real Property to conduct the inspections and tests described above, Buyer shall obtain and maintain, or shall cause each of its contractors and agents to maintain (and shall deliver to Seller evidence thereof), at no cost or expense to Seller, general liability insurance, from an insurer reasonably acceptable to Seller, in the amount of Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000.00) combined single limit for personal injury and property damage per occurrence. Such policies shall name Seller as an additional insured party and shall provide coverage against any claim for personal liability or property damage caused by Buyer or its agents, representatives or consultants in connection with such inspections and tests. Buyer and Buyer’s representatives shall, in performing its Due Diligence Inspection, comply with the agreed upon procedures and with any and all laws, ordinances, rules, and regulations applicable to any or all of such procedures and the Real Property. Neither Buyer nor Buyer’s representatives shall report the results of the Due Diligence Inspection to any governmental or quasi-governmental authority under any circumstances (except as may be required by law) without obtaining Seller’s express written consent, which consent may be withheld in Seller’s sole discretion. If this Agreement is terminated for reasons other than Seller’s default, Buyer shall provide Seller with copies of any and all final, third party reports prepared on behalf of Buyer as part of the Due Diligence Inspection promptly after Buyer’s receipt of such reports; it being agreed that such reports shall be delivered to Seller AS-IS, without any representation or warranty by Buyer. The terms of this Section 4.2 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
5. TITLE AND SURVEY MATTERS.
5.1. Conveyance of Title. At Closing, Seller agrees to deliver to Buyer a Special Warranty Deed (the “Grant Deed”) in the standard recordable form of the Title Company, conveying the Real Property to Buyer, free and clear of all liens, claims and encumbrances except for the Permitted Exceptions (as hereinafter defined). Seller, at Seller’s sole cost, has delivered to Buyer a commitment (the “Title Commitment”) issued by Land Services USA, Inc., as agent for First American Title Insurance Company (the “Title Company”), for a ALTA owner title insurance policy insuring Buyer (the “Title Policy”), in the full amount of the Purchase Price and subject only to the Permitted Exceptions.
5.2. Survey. Seller has, at Seller’s sole cost, delivered to Buyer an ALTA as-built survey of the Real Property (the “Survey”) prior to the Execution Date.
5.3. Defects and Cure. If the Title Commitment or the Survey (“Title Evidence”) discloses unpermitted claims, liens, exceptions or conditions affecting the Real Property (the “Defects”), said Defects shall be cured and removed by Seller from the Title Evidence prior to Closing only if required in accordance with this Section 5.3.
-4-
5.3.1. Liquidated Defects. On or prior to Closing, Seller shall be unconditionally obligated to cure or remove the following Defects (the “Liquidated Defects”), whether described in the Title Commitment, or first arising or first disclosed by the Title Company (or otherwise) to Buyer after the date of the Title Commitment, and whether or not raised in a Title Objection Notice (defined below): (a) liens securing a mortgage, deed of trust or trust deed evidencing an indebtedness of Seller; (b) judgment liens against Seller or its managing agent; (c) liens for delinquent real estate taxes or assessments; (d) broker’s liens based on the written agreement of Seller or its managing agent; and (e) any mechanics liens that are based upon a written agreement between either (x) the claimant (a “Contract Claimant”) and Seller or its managing agent, or (y) the Contract Claimant and any other contractor, supplier or materialman with which Seller or its managing agent has a written agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, if, prior to Closing, Seller fails to so cure or remove (or insure over, in a form and substance reasonably acceptable to Buyer) all Liquidated Defects, then Buyer may either (1) terminate this Agreement by written notice to Seller, in which event the provisions of Section 18.8 governing a permitted termination by Buyer of the entire Agreement shall apply; or (2) proceed to close with title to the Property as it then is, with the right to deduct from the Purchase Price a sum equal to the aggregate amount necessary to cure or remove (by endorsement or otherwise, as reasonably determined by Buyer, acting in good faith) the Liquidated Defects. Seller may extend Closing by up to ten (10) business days to cure and remove Liquidated Defects.
5.3.2. Other Defects. On or prior to the date that is five (5) days prior to the Review Period Expiration Date, Buyer may deliver one or more notices (each a “Title Objection Notice”) to Seller specifying any lien, claim, encumbrance, restriction, covenant, condition, exception to title or other matter disclosed by the Title Evidence that is not a Liquidated Defect (“Other Defects”) that is evidenced by the Title Evidence, and that renders title unacceptable to Buyer. Seller shall be obligated to advise Buyer in writing (“Seller’s Cure Notice”) within three (3) days after Buyer delivers any Title Objection Notice, which (if any) of the Other Defects specified in the applicable Title Objection Notice Seller is willing (in the exercise of its sole discretion) to attempt to cure (the “Seller’s Cure Items”). If Seller fails to deliver a Seller’s Cure Notice, Seller shall be deemed to have elected not to cure any Other Defects. Seller has no obligation to cure or remove any Other Defects. In the event that Seller fails to timely deliver a Seller’s Cure Notice, or in the event that Seller’s Cure Notice (specifying Seller’s Cure Items) does not include each and every Other Defect specified in each Title Objection Notice, then Buyer may by written notice to Seller delivered on or prior to the Review Period Expiration Date either (A) elect to terminate this Agreement by written notice to Seller, in which event the provisions of Section 18.8 governing a permitted termination by Buyer of the entire Agreement shall apply, or (B) proceed to close, accepting title to the Property subject to those Other Defects not included in Seller’s Cure Notice. In the event Seller is unable to cure and remove any Seller’s Cure Items on or prior to Closing, Buyer may elect by written notice to Seller delivered on or prior to Closing to either (A) elect to terminate this Agreement by written notice to Seller, in which event the provisions of Section 18.8 governing a permitted termination by Buyer of the entire Agreement shall apply, or (B) proceed to close, accepting title to the Property subject to those Seller’s Cure Items that Seller has failed to cure and remove. For purposes of this Agreement, the term, “Permitted Exceptions,” shall mean both (i) all liens, claims, encumbrances, restrictions, covenants, conditions, matters or exceptions to title (other than Liquidated Defects) that are set forth in the Title Evidence, but not objected to by Buyer in a
-5-
Title Objection Notice; (ii) any Other Defects that Seller elects, or is deemed to have elected, not to cure, or those Seller’s Cure Items that Seller fails to cure and remove but despite which Buyer nevertheless elects to close; (iii) the rights of Tenants pursuant to the Leases; (iv) matters arising out of any act of Buyer or Buyer’s representatives; and (v) local, state and federal laws, ordinances, rules and regulations, including, but not limited to, zoning ordinances

Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or any closing documents, Buyer acknowledges and agrees that all materials, data and information delivered by Seller to Buyer in connection with the transaction contemplated hereby are provided to Buyer as a convenience only and that any reliance on or use of such materials, data or information by Buyer shall be at the sole risk of Buyer.

Except as shown in the Rent Roll or in the Documents, all tenant improvement obligations, concessions and other tenant inducements with respect to the current term of the Leases and owing pursuant to the written agreements of Seller, have been fully paid and satisfied by Seller (except that an internal audit has revealed that primarily as a result of KT I’s general contractor overbilling certain construction expenses to KT I, as landlord, AMZ Tenant may have a remaining tenant improvement allowance balance of approximately $67,000 owing to it, such amount, the “Remaining Allowance Amount”) and, to Seller’s knowledge, no such obligations, concessions or inducements, nor any leasing commissions or finder’s fees will become payable in the future on the basis of the written agreement of Seller in connection with the renewal or expansion of any Lease other than as set forth in the Leases, the Existing Listing Agreements or in any of the other Documents. Without limiting the foregoing, to Seller’s knowledge, all leasing commissions, and all tenant improvement obligations, concessions and other tenant inducements, which are presently contemplated to be payable in the future with respect to the future renewal or expansion of any of the Leases are set forth in the Leases, the Rent Roll, the Documents or the Existing Listing Agreements. Except as set forth in the Rent Roll or the Documents, and to Seller’s knowledge, Seller has not received from any Tenant any written notice to cancel, renew
-10-
or extend any Lease. To Seller’s knowledge, Seller has collected and remitted security deposits in accordance with the requirements of the Leases and law. Seller will use diligent good faith efforts to exactly identify the final amount of the Remaining Allowance Amount and shall pay the same to AMZ Tenant, either directly or in the form additional work, prior to Closing or credit it to Buyer at Closing for payment to AMZ Tenant or, if not determined finally prior to Closing, once determined unless paid to AMZ Tenant in cash or in the form of additional work prior to or after Closing.
7.6.5.4. To Seller’s knowledge, the Contracts delivered with the Documents are the only management, service, supply, repair and maintenance agreements, equipment leases and all other contracts and agreements (excluding the Leases and recorded instruments) with respect to or affecting the Property as of the Effective Date to which Seller is party.

To Seller’s knowledge, Seller is not party to any development agreements, improvement agreements or other comparable agreements related to the Property with any city, county, state or other government authority which impose any ongoing obligations on the Property or the owner of the Property, other than any agreements recorded in the real property records of Maricopa County, Arizona and the DSD Wastewater Line Agreement (With Wastewater Line Repayment) dated November 7, 2006 between Tratt Properties and the City of Phoenix.

7.6.11. Seller’s Knowledge. All references in this Agreement to “Seller’s knowledge,” “Seller’s actual knowledge” or words of similar import shall refer only to the actual (as opposed to deemed, imputed or constructive) knowledge of Xxxxx Xxxx, the officer of KTR Capital Partners (an affiliate of Seller) charged with supervising Seller’s property management of the Property, and Xxxxxxx X. Butte, the officer of KTR Capital Partners (an affiliate of Seller) charged with supervising Seller’s disposition of the Property, and Xxxxxxxx Xxxxx of Xxxxx Properties, the person responsible for the development of the Property, without inquiry or investigation of any kind, and, notwithstanding any fact or circumstance to the contrary, shall not be construed to refer to the knowledge of any other person or entity.
7.6.12. Limitations. The representations and warranties of Seller to Buyer contained in Section 7.6 hereof (the “Seller Representations”), shall survive the Closing Date and the delivery of the Grant Deed for a period of nine (9) months. No claim for a breach of any Seller Representation, or the failure or default of a covenant or agreement of Seller that survives Closing, shall be actionable or payable unless (a) the breach in question results from, or is based on, a condition, state of facts or other matter which was not disclosed to, or actually known (as defined below) by, Buyer prior to Closing, and (b) written notice containing a description of the specific nature of such breach shall have been delivered by Buyer to Seller prior to the expiration of said nine (9) month survival period, and an action with respect to such breach(es) shall have been commenced by Buyer against Seller within nine (9) months after Closing. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the maximum amount that Buyer shall be entitled to collect from Seller in connection with all suits, litigation or administrative proceedings resulting from all breaches by Seller of any Seller Representations or any covenants of Seller (or under the terms of all conveyance documents executed by Seller) shall in no event exceed $2,500,000 in the aggregate (provided that the foregoing cap shall not apply to the proration obligations set forth in Article 10 herein, to a breach by Seller of its representation and warranty contained in Section 7.6.10, to a breach of Seller’s representations/obligations set forth in Section 17 or to Seller’s obligation with respect to payment of legal fees under Section 18.10). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if Buyer is notified in any Document, or in writing by Seller, or otherwise obtains actual (as opposed to deemed, imputed or constructive) knowledge, that any Seller Representation made by Seller is not true or correct as of the Effective Date, or that such Seller Representation is not true or correct on or before the Closing, or is notified in any Document, or in writing by Seller, or otherwise, that Seller has failed to perform any covenant and agreement of Seller herein contained and Buyer shall nevertheless acquire the Property notwithstanding such fact, Buyer shall not be entitled to commence any action after Closing to recover damages from Seller due to such Seller Representation(s) failing to be true or correct (and Buyer shall not be entitled to rely on such Seller Representation), or such covenant(s) and agreement(s) having failed to be performed by Seller.
7.6.13. Representation Condition. It shall be a Condition Precedent to Buyer’s obligation to proceed to Closing that all of the Seller Representations are true and
-12-
correct, in all material respects, as of the Closing Date. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, if any Seller Representation is untrue or inaccurate in any material respect and Buyer becomes aware of such untruth or inaccuracy prior to Closing, Buyer may elect, in its sole discretion and as its sole remedy hereunder, at law or in equity, either to (i) terminate this Agreement by delivery of written notice to Seller on or prior to Closing (or the Review Period Expiration Date to the extent Buyer becomes aware of such untruth or inaccuracy on or prior to the Review Period Expiration Date), whereupon the Deposit shall be promptly returned to Buyer and neither party shall have any further liability hereunder, except for those liabilities that expressly survive a termination of this Agreement; or (ii) proceed to Closing and accept the untruth or inaccuracy of such Seller Representation with no further right to terminate the Agreement (or pursue any other right or remedy) on the basis of the untruth or inaccuracy thereof.

9.6.4. Deliver the Title Policy issued by the Title Company to Buyer.
10. PRORATIONS AND ADJUSTMENTS. The following shall be prorated and adjusted between Seller and Buyer as of the Closing Date, except as otherwise specified:
10.1. Utilities and Operating Expenses. To the extent not paid by Tenants as a component of Additional Rent (as hereinafter defined) or otherwise or utilities are not transferred to the name of Buyer on the Closing, water, electricity, sewer, gas, telephone and other utility charges based, to the extent practicable, on final meter readings and final invoices, shall be
-14-
prorated at Closing. To the extent not paid by Tenants as a component of Additional Rent or otherwise, any operating expenses shall be prorated between Buyer and Seller, with Seller receiving a credit for any operating expenses paid by Seller and related to the period from and after Closing.
10.2. Security Deposits. The amount of all cash security and any other cash tenant deposits then held by Seller, and interest due thereon, if any, shall be credited to Buyer. Seller shall not apply any such security deposits during the term of this Agreement without the prior written consent of Buyer, which consent Buyer shall not be unreasonably withheld. To the extent there are letters of credit, Seller shall deliver to Buyer the original letters of credit upon the Closing, together with any and all required documentation required by the bank to transfer the letter of credit to the name of Buyer. Seller agrees to cooperate with Buyer to facilitate said transfer.
10.3. Base Rent. Buyer will receive a credit at Closing for the prorated amount of all base or fixed rent payable pursuant to the Leases and all Additional Rents (collectively, “Rent”) previously paid to, or collected by, Seller and attributable to any period following the Closing Date. Rents are “Delinquent” when they were due prior to the Closing Date, and payment thereof has not been made on or before the Closing Date. Delinquent Rent shall not be prorated at Closing. All Rent collected by Buyer or Seller from each Tenant from and after Closing will be applied as follows: (i) first, to Delinquent Rent owed for the month in which the Closing Date occurs (the “Closing Month”) attributable to Buyer’s period of ownership, (ii) second, to any accrued Rents owing to Buyer, and (iii) third, to Delinquent Rents owing to Seller for the period prior to Closing. Any Rent collected by Buyer and due Seller will be promptly remitted to Seller. Any Rent collected by Seller and due Buyer shall be promptly remitted to Buyer. Buyer shall use reasonable efforts for a period of three (3) months to collect Delinquent Rents owed to Seller in the ordinary course of its business, provided that Buyer shall in no event be obligated to initiate eviction or litigation proceedings. “Additional Rents” shall mean any and all amounts due from Tenants for operating expenses, common area maintenance charges, taxes, shared utility charges, management fees, insurance costs, other comparable expenses and pass-through charges and any other Tenant charges. At least five (5) days prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall provide Buyer with a reasonably detailed reconciliation for each Tenant showing all common area maintenance charges, property taxes, insurance and other operating cost pass-throughs payable by Tenants (collectively, the “Operating Expenses”) incurred by Seller from the beginning of the then-current calendar year (and if the prior calendar year has not been prorated, also for said prior year) (or, if different, such Tenants’ then-current annual billing period for Operating Expenses, and if the prior period has not been prorated, also for said prior period) through the Closing Date, and any Operating Expense estimates or charges collected by Seller during the same period of time and relating to such Tenant, all in the form customarily submitted to each Tenant (the “CAM Reconciliation”). To the extent that Seller has received as of the Closing any monthly or periodic payments of Operating Expenses allocable to periods subsequent to Closing, the same shall be prorated and Buyer shall receive a credit therefor at the Closing. With respect to any monthly or periodic payments of Operating Expenses received by Buyer after the Closing allocable to Seller prior to Closing, Buyer shall promptly pay the same to Seller (subject to the provisions above relating to Delinquent Rent). Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that the CAM Reconciliation reveals that Seller has over-collected Operating Expenses from any Tenant such that, if the end of the operating expense year under
-15-
the Leases was the Closing Date, Seller would be obligated to refund money to such Tenant (an “Over Collection”), rather than collect additional money from such Tenant (an “Under Collection”), said Over Collection shall be paid by Seller to Buyer at the Closing as a settlement statement credit; provided, in the event of an Under Collection, the amount of the Under Collection shall be paid by Buyer to Seller outside of escrow within 5 Business Days after receipt from the applicable Tenant in connection with the year-end Operating Expense reconciliation process. The provisions of this Section 10.3 shall survive the Closing and the delivery of any conveyance documentation.
10.4. Assessments. To the extent not paid by Tenants as a component of Additional Rent and that are actually prorated as above, all assessments, general or special, shall be prorated as of the Closing Date, with Seller being responsible for any installments of assessments that are due and payable prior to the Closing Date and Buyer being responsible for any installments of assessments that are due and payable on or after the Closing Date.
10.5. Taxes. To the extent not paid by Tenants as a component of Additional Rent and that are actually prorated as above, all nondelinquent real estate taxes on the Real Property shall be prorated as of the Closing based on the actual current tax xxxx, but if such tax xxxx has not yet been received by Seller by the Closing, then such proration shall be made based on the prior year’s tax xxxx.
10.6. Other. Such other items as are customarily prorated in transactions of this nature shall be ratably prorated.
For purposes of calculating prorations, Buyer shall be deemed to be in title to the Property, and therefore entitled to the income therefrom and responsible for the expenses thereof, for the entire day upon which the Closing occurs. All such prorations shall be made on the basis of the actual number of days of the year and month that shall have elapsed as of the Closing Date. The amount of such prorations shall be adjusted in cash after Closing, as and when complete and accurate information becomes available. Seller and Buyer agree to cooperate and use their good faith and diligent efforts to make such adjustments no later than 30 days after the Closing, or as soon as is reasonably practicable if and to the extent that the required final proration information is not available within such 30 day period. The obligations of the parties pursuant to this Section 10 shall survive the Closing and shall not merge into any documents of conveyance delivered at Closing.
11. CLOSING EXPENSES. Buyer will pay the cost of any endorsements to the Title Policy, one half the costs of any escrows hereunder and the cost of recording the Grant Deed. Seller shall pay the basic premium for the Title Policy, the cost of the Survey, any pre-payment penalties associated with the payment of any indebtedness encumbering the Real Property and one-half of the cost of any escrows hereunder. Any and all other costs shall be allocated in accordance with local custom.
12. DESTRUCTION, LOSS OR DIMINUTION OF PROJECT. If, prior to Closing, all or any portion of the Real Property are damaged by fire or other natural casualty (collectively “Casualty Damage”), or are taken or made subject to condemnation, eminent domain or other governmental acquisition proceedings (collectively “Eminent Domain”), then the following procedures shall apply:
-16-
| (a) | If the aggregate cost of repair or replacement of the Casualty Damage or the value of any portion of the Property taken by Eminent Domain (collectively, “repair and/or replacement”) is $500,000 or less, in the opinion of Buyer’s and Seller’s respective engineering consultants, and no Tenant has the right to terminate its Lease, Buyer shall close and take the Property as diminished by such events, subject to an assignment of Seller’s casualty insurance proceeds (plus a credit for the amount of any unpaid deductible or self-insured amounts) or an assignment of any condemnation award, as applicable. In such event, Seller shall not compromise, settle or adjust any claims without the prior written consent of Buyer. |
| (b) | If the aggregate cost of repair and/or replacement of the Casualty Damage or the value of any portion of the Property taken by Eminent Domain is greater than $500,000, in the opinion of Buyer’s and Seller’s respective engineering consultants, and/or if a Tenant has a right to terminate its Lease, then Buyer, at its sole option, may elect either to (i) terminate this Agreement by written notice to Seller in which event the provisions of Section 18.8 governing a permitted termination by Buyer of the entire Agreement shall apply; or (ii) proceed to close subject to an assignment of the proceeds of Seller’s casualty insurance for all Casualty Damage plus a credit for the amount of any unpaid deductible or self-insured amounts (or condemnation awards for any Eminent Domain). In such event, Seller shall fully cooperate with Buyer in the adjustment and settlement of the insurance claim. The proceeds and benefits under any rent loss or business interruption policies attributable to the period following the Closing shall likewise be transferred and paid over (and, if applicable, likewise credited on an interim basis) to Buyer. |
13. DEFAULT.
13.1. Default by Seller. If the parties fail to proceed to Closing as a result of a default hereunder by Seller, Buyer may elect either to (i) terminate Buyer’s obligations under this Agreement by written notice to Seller, in which event the Deposit shall be returned immediately to Buyer and Buyer shall be reimbursed its transaction costs incurred in connection with this Agreement in an amount not to exceed One Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($150,000.00); or (ii) file an action for specific performance. Buyer must bring an action for specific performance within sixty (60) days or shall be deemed to have elected alternative (i) of the preceding sentence. The provisions of the immediately preceding sentence shall survive any termination of this Agreement.
13.2. Default by Buyer. IN THE EVENT OF ANY DEFAULT BY BUYER OF ITS OBLIGATION TO CLOSE HEREUNDER, SELLER SHALL BE ENTITLED TO RECEIVE, AS FIXED AND LIQUIDATED DAMAGES AND AS SELLER’S SOLE REMEDY HEREUNDER, AT LAW OR IN EQUITY, THE DEPOSIT AND BUYER SHALL
-17-
PROMPTLY DIRECT THE DEPOSIT BE PAID TO SELLER IN THE EVENT OF A DEFAULT BY BUYER OF ITS OBLIGATION TO CLOSE HEREUNDER. BUYER AND SELLER AGREE THAT IT WOULD BE IMPRACTICAL AND EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO ESTIMATE THE DAMAGES WHICH SELLER MAY SUFFER IN THE EVENT BUYER DEFAULTS HEREUNDER AND FAILS TO COMPLETE THE PURCHASE OF THE PROPERTY AS HEREIN PROVIDED. BUYER AND SELLER THEREFORE AGREE THAT A REASONABLE PRESENT ESTIMATE OF THE NET DETRIMENT THAT SELLER WOULD SUFFER IN THE EVENT OF BUYER’S DEFAULT OR BREACH OF ITS OBLIGATION TO CLOSE HEREUNDER IS AN AMOUNT OF MONEY EQUAL TO THE DEPOSIT WHICH SHALL BE THE FULL, AGREED AND LIQUIDATED DAMAGES. IN THE EVENT THAT BUYER DEFAULTS IN ITS OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER OTHER THAN ITS OBLIGATION TO CLOSE, THEN FOLLOWING FIVE (5) BUSINESS DAYS WRITTEN NOTICE TO BUYER TO ALLOW BUYER AN OPPORTUNITY TO CURE (AND BUYER’S FAILURE TO CURE WITHIN SAID TIME), SELLER SHALL BE ENTITLED TO TERMINATE THIS AGREEMENT AND PURSUE AN ACTION FOR ITS ACTUAL DAMAGES.

14. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS; TAX-DEFERRED EXCHANGE.
14.1. Assignment. The terms, conditions and covenants of this Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective nominees, successors, beneficiaries and assigns; provided, however, no conveyance, assignment or transfer of any interest whatsoever of, in or to the Property or of this Agreement shall be made by Seller or Buyer during the term of this Agreement, except Seller may assign all or any of its right, title and interest under this Agreement to any third party intermediary (an “Intermediary”) in connection with a tax-deferred exchange pursuant to Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code (an “Exchange”), provided that Buyer shall incur no liability or costs in connection with such Exchange. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer may assign all or any of its right, title and interest under this Agreement to: (i) an Intermediary in connection with an Exchange; or (ii) any affiliate or subsidiary of Buyer or to any newly created entity in which Buyer or its affiliates are members, partners or managers. In the event of an assignment of this Agreement by Buyer, its assignee shall be deemed to be the Buyer hereunder for all purposes hereof, and shall have all rights of Buyer hereunder (including, but not limited to, the right of further assignment), but the assignor shall not be released from all liability hereunder.
14.2. Tax-Deferred Exchange. In the event either party elects to assign this Agreement to an Intermediary, the other party shall reasonably cooperate with the assigning party (without incurring any additional liability or any additional third party expenses) in connection with such election and the consummation of the Exchange, including without limitation, by executing an acknowledgment of the assigning party’s assignment of this Agreement to the Intermediary.

Neither this Agreement nor any provisions hereof may be waived, modified, amended, discharged or terminated except by an instrument in writing signed by the party against which the enforcement of such waiver, modification, amendment, discharge or termination is sought, and then only to the extent set forth in such instrument.
-20-
18.2. Time of the Essence. Time is of the essence of this Agreement.

As used herein, the term “legal holiday” means any state or federal holiday for which financial institutions or post offices are generally closed for observance thereof in the State of Arizona.
18.4. Conditions Precedent. The obligations of Buyer to make the payments described in Section 2 and to close the transaction contemplated herein are subject to the express Conditions Precedent set forth in this Agreement, each of which is for the sole benefit of Buyer and may be waived at any time by written notice thereof from Buyer to Seller. The waiver of any particular Condition Precedent shall not constitute the waiver of any other. In the event of the failure of a Condition Precedent for any reason whatsoever, Buyer may elect, in its sole discretion and as its sole remedy (except, in the case of Section 18.4.3 only, such failure of such Condition Precedent also constitutes a material default by Seller), to terminate this Agreement in which event the provisions of Section 18.8 governing a permitted termination by Buyer of the entire Agreement shall apply. In addition to the Conditions Precedent set forth elsewhere in the Agreement, the following shall also be Conditions Precedent to Buyer’s obligations, and if the same are not satisfied on the Closing Date, the provisions of Section 18.8 shall apply:

18.4.5. Waiver. Seller shall provide to Buyer a written acknowledgement signed by AMZ Tenant (the “Waiver”) indicating that AMZ Tenant has waived the AMZ ROFO in form reasonably acceptable to Buyer, subject to KT I’s obligation under the AMZ Lease to
-21-
allow AMZ Tenant to again have the opportunity to exercise the AMZ ROFO if the portion of the Purchase Price allocated to the Mohave Project is reduced in an amount sufficient to require such additional opportunity under the AMZ Lease. Buyer acknowledges that a Waiver containing substantially the content set forth on Exhibit H shall in all events be acceptable to Buyer.
18.5. Construction. This Agreement shall not be construed more strictly against one party than against the other merely by virtue of the fact that it may have been prepared by counsel for one of the parties, it being recognized that both Seller and Buyer have contributed substantially and materially to the preparation of this Agreement.

18.9. Independent Contract Consideration. Seller and Buyer agree that One Hundred and No/100 Dollars ($100.00) of the Deposit shall constitute non-refundable independent consideration (the “Independent Consideration”) for Seller’s execution and delivery of this Agreement and, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, shall be paid to Seller upon the earlier to occur of (i) termination of this Agreement for any reason, or (ii) the Closing. The Independent Consideration shall be applied against the Purchase Price at Closing.
18.10. Attorney’s Fees. In the event of any litigation arising out or in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, the prevailing parties shall be entitled to reasonable legal fees and costs (including court costs and the reasonable costs of any experts).
