Seller shall provide Purchaser with copies of the Ground Lessor Estoppel in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D for Purchaser’s review and comment before delivering the Ground Lessor Estoppel to Ground Lessor.

Seller shall terminate at Closing, and Purchaser shall not assume, any property management or leasing agreement affecting the Property.

ARTICLE 3. TITLE AND SURVEY REVIEW

3.1. Delivery of Preliminary Title Report and Survey. Seller shall cause to be delivered to Purchaser on the Effective Date, any existing survey of the Land and the Building in Seller’s possession or control. Purchaser may, in its sole discretion, and at its sole expense, obtain a new ALTA-ACSM Urban survey of the Property (the “Survey”) prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, including a certification addressed to Purchaser, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit F. The Survey shall plot all plotable easements benefiting the Property. Purchaser may, in its sole discretion, obtain a preliminary title report (the “Preliminary Title Report”) issued by the Title Company. The Preliminary Title Report, the documents referred to therein, and the Survey are referred to herein collectively as the “Title Documents.”

3.2. Title Review and Cure. During the Due Diligence Period, Purchaser shall review title to the Property as disclosed by the Title Documents. Purchaser shall be entitled to object to any title matters shown in the Title Documents, in its sole discretion, by a written notice of objections delivered to Seller on or before the expiration of the Due Diligence Period. Purchaser shall notify the Seller before the expiration of the Due Diligence Period which title exceptions (excluding survey matters), if any, will not be accepted by Purchaser (the “Title Notice”). If Purchaser fails to notify Seller in writing of its disapproval of any exceptions before the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, Purchaser shall be deemed to have approved the condition of title to the Real Property. If Purchaser notifies Seller in writing that Purchaser objects to any exceptions to title, Seller shall have one (1) business day after receipt of the Title Notice to notify Purchaser of either of the following: (a) that Seller will remove all such objectionable exceptions from title on or before the Closing; (b) that Seller will remove certain objectionable exceptions from title on or before the Closing; or (c) that Seller elects not to cause such exceptions to be removed. If Seller fails to notify Purchaser within such one (1) business day period, then Seller shall be deemed to have made an election under the foregoing clause (c). Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Agreement, all monetary obligations (including, without limitation, mechanics’ and materialmens’ liens or claims thereof, any liens or encumbrances that secure obligations for borrowed money and any exceptions or encumbrances to title which are created by or through Seller after the Effective Date) disclosed in the Preliminary Title Report constituting a lien against the Real Property are to be satisfied by Seller before Closing. With respect to any other objections, Seller will reasonably cooperate with Purchaser in curing such objections. The procurement by Seller of a commitment for the issuance of the Title Policy (as defined in Section 5.2(f) hereof) or an endorsement thereto insuring Purchaser, in a manner acceptable to Purchaser, against any title exception which was disapproved pursuant to this Section 3.2 shall be deemed a cure by Seller of such disapproval. If Seller gives Purchaser notice under clause (b) or (c) above, Purchaser shall have one (1) business day after the date of such notice in which to notify Seller that Purchaser will nevertheless proceed with the purchase in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and take title to the Property subject to such exceptions, or that Purchaser will terminate this Agreement and receive a refund of the Xxxxxxx Money. If Purchaser does not terminate this Agreement or deliver a Title Notice to Seller before the expiration of the Due Diligence Period pursuant to Section 2.2, then Purchaser shall have been deemed to have approved any title exception set forth in the Title Documents that Seller is not obligated to remove and Seller did not agree in writing to remove or cure. If after the expiration of the Due Diligence Period the Title Company revises the Preliminary Title Report or the surveyor revises the Survey, to add or modify exceptions, then Purchaser may terminate this Agreement and receive a refund of the Xxxxxxx Money if the provision for their removal or modification satisfactory to Purchaser is not made. In such case, the Closing Date shall be extended for up to ten (10) days in order for Purchaser and Seller to determine if such exception can be resolved and to give Purchaser the opportunity to terminate this Agreement and receive a refund of the Xxxxxxx Money if the exception is not removed.

3.3. Permitted Exceptions and Endorsements. “Permitted Exceptions” means the following exceptions approved or deemed approved by Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement: real estate taxes not yet due and payable; the Ground Lease; tenants in possession as tenants only under the lease agreement to be entered into between Seller, as tenant, and Purchaser, as landlord, at Closing (the “NPS Lease”); the form of which is attached hereto as Exhibit J, and the exceptions approved (or deemed approved) by Purchaser pursuant to the terms of Section 3.2 above. For the avoidance of doubt, the general exceptions in the Preliminary Title Report will be removed upon issuance of the ALTA extended coverage title policy to be issued in this transaction and are not Permitted Exceptions. “Purchaser’s Endorsements” shall mean, to the extent such endorsements are available under the laws of the state in which the Property is located: (1) owner’s comprehensive; (2) access; (3) survey (accuracy of survey); (4) location (survey legal matches title legal); (5) separate tax lot; (6) subdivision map act; (7) zoning 3.1, with parking and loading docks; (8) mechanic’s lien; (9) deletion of creditors’ rights exception; (10) endorsement over

environmental protection liens; (11) utilities endorsement; (12) leasehold endorsement; and (13) such other endorsements as Purchaser may require during the Due Diligence Period based on its review of the Preliminary Title Report and Survey.

3.4. ALTA Statement. Seller shall execute at Closing an ALTA Statement (Owner’s Affidavit) and any other documents, undertakings or agreements, including a mechanic’s lien indemnity, customarily required by the Title Company to enable it to issue the Title Policy (as defined in Section 5.2(f) hereof) in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.

If such damage is material, Purchaser may elect (in its sole discretion) by notice to Seller given within ten (10) days after Purchaser is notified of such damage (and the Closing shall be extended, if necessary, to give Purchaser such ten (10) day period to respond to such notice) to proceed in the same manner as in the case of damage that is not material or to terminate this Agreement, in which event the Xxxxxxx Money shall be returned to Purchaser. Damage as to any one or multiple occurrences is material if the cost to repair the damage, as reasonably estimated by Seller’s contractor (if Seller has engaged a contractor to perform the work), and otherwise by a contractor approved by both Purchaser and Seller, acting reasonably, exceeds $100,000. An affiliate of Seller may be engaged as Seller’s contractor, provided Seller discloses the relationship of such affiliate to Purchaser.
