Seller shall reasonably cooperate with the efforts of Buyer and the Buyer’s representatives to inspect the Property. After the Effective Date, Buyer shall be permitted to speak and meet with Tenant in connection with Buyer’s due diligence. Upon signing this agreement, Seller shall provide Buyer with the name of a contact person(s) for the purpose of arranging site visits.

not be less than two (2) business days) before entering the Property, and Seller may have a representative present during any and all examinations, inspections and/or studies on the Property.

(e) Seller shall use good faith efforts to obtain estoppel certificates with respect to reciprocal easement agreements as may be reasonably requested by Buyer.
7. Risk of Loss/Condemnation. Upon an occurrence of a casualty, condemnation or taking, Seller shall notify Buyer in writing of same.

Price and Seller shall assign to Buyer at the Closing the rights of Seller to the proceeds under Seller’s insurance policies covering such Property with respect to such damage or destruction (or pay to Buyer any such proceeds received prior to Closing) and pay to Buyer the amount of any deductible with respect thereto, and Buyer shall be entitled to receive and keep any monies received from such insurance policies.
8. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Money Disbursement. The ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Money shall be held by Escrow Agent, in trust, and disposed of only in accordance with the following provisions:
(a) If the Closing occurs, Escrow Agent shall deliver the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Money to, or upon the instructions of, Seller and Buyer on the Closing Date to be applied as part payment of the Purchase Price. If for any reason the Closing does not occur, Escrow Agent shall deliver the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Money to Seller or Buyer only upon receipt of a written demand therefor from such party, subject to the following provisions of this clause (a). Subject to the last sentence of this clause (a), if for any reason the Closing does not occur and either party makes a written demand (the “Demand”) upon Escrow Agent for payment of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Money, Escrow Agent shall give written notice to the other party of the Demand within one business day after receipt of the Demand. If Escrow Agent does not receive a written objection from the other party to the proposed payment within five (5) business days after the giving of such notice by Escrow Agent, Escrow Agent is hereby authorized to make the payment set forth in the Demand. If Escrow Agent does receive such written objection within such period, 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. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this clause (a) if (i) Buyer delivers a notice to Escrow Agent and Seller stating that Buyer has terminated this Agreement on or prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, then Escrow Agent shall immediately return the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Money to Buyer without the necessity of delivering any notice to, or receiving any notice from Seller and (ii) if, after the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, Seller delivers a notice to Escrow Agent and Buyer stating that Seller has terminated this Agreement as a result of Buyer’s failure to close on or prior to the Closing Date, then Escrow Agent shall immediately disburse the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Money to Seller without the necessity of delivering any notice to, or receiving any notice from Buyer.
(b) The parties acknowledge that Escrow Agent is acting solely as a stakeholder at their request and for their convenience, that Escrow Agent shall not be deemed to be the agent of either of the parties, and that 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 disregard 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 Escrow Agent’s mistake of law respecting Escrow Agent scope or nature of its duties. Seller and Buyer shall jointly and severally indemnify and hold Escrow Agent harmless from and against all liabilities (including reasonable attorneys’ fees, expenses and disbursements) incurred in connection with the performance of Escrow Agent’s duties hereunder, except with respect to actions or omissions taken or made by Escrow Agent in bad faith, in disregard of this Agreement or involving negligence on the part of Escrow Agent. Escrow Agent has executed this Agreement in the place indicated on the signature page hereof in order to confirm that Escrow Agent shall hold the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Money in escrow and shall disburse the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Money pursuant to the provisions of this Section 8.

9. Default
(a) In the event that Seller is ready, willing and able to close in accordance with the terms and provisions hereof, and Buyer defaults in any of its obligations undertaken in this Agreement, Seller shall be entitled to, as its sole and exclusive remedy to either: (i) waive such default and proceed to Closing in accordance with the terms and provisions hereof; or (ii) declare this Agreement to be terminated, and Seller shall be entitled to immediately receive all of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Money as liquidated damages as and for Seller’s sole remedy. Upon such termination, neither Buyer nor Seller shall have any further rights, obligations or liabilities hereunder, except as otherwise expressly provided herein. Seller and Buyer agree that (a) actual damages due to Buyer’s default hereunder would be difficult and inconvenient to ascertain and that such amount is not a penalty and is fair and reasonable in light of all relevant circumstances, (b) the amount specified as liquidated damages is not disproportionate to the damages that would be suffered and the costs that would be incurred by Seller as a result of having withdrawn the Property from the market, and (c) Buyer desires to limit its liability under this Agreement to the amount of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Money paid in the event Buyer fails to complete Closing. Seller hereby waives any right to recover the balance of the Purchase Price, or any part thereof, and the right to pursue any other remedy permitted at law or in equity against Buyer. In no event under this Section or otherwise shall Buyer be liable to Seller for any punitive, speculative or consequential damages.
(b) In the event of a default in the obligations herein taken by Seller with respect to the Property, Buyer may, as its sole and exclusive remedy, either: (i) waive any unsatisfied conditions and proceed to Closing in accordance with the terms and provisions hereof; (ii) terminate this Agreement by delivering written notice thereof to Seller no later than Closing, upon which termination the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Money shall be refunded to Buyer, Seller shall pay to Buyer all of the out-of-pocket costs and expenses (not to exceed $20,000) incurred by Buyer in connection with this Agreement, which return shall operate to terminate this Agreement and release Seller and Buyer from any and all liability hereunder, except those which are specifically stated herein to survive any termination hereof; (iii) enforce specific performance of Seller’s obligations hereunder; or (iv) by notice to Seller given on or before the Closing Date, extend the Closing Date for a period of up to thirty (30) days (the “Closing Extension Period”), and the “Closing Date” shall be moved to the last day of the Closing Extension Period. If Buyer so extends the Closing Date, then Seller may, but shall not be obligated to, cause said conditions to be satisfied during the Closing Extension Period. If Seller does not cause said conditions to be satisfied during the Closing Extension Period, then Buyer shall have the remedies set forth in Section 9(b) (i) through (iii) above except that the term “Closing” shall read “Extended Closing”.
10. Closing. The Closing shall consist of the execution and delivery of documents by Seller and Buyer, as set forth below, and delivery by Buyer to Seller of the Purchase Price in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Seller shall deliver to Escrow Agent for the benefit of Buyer at Closing the following executed documents:

(m) Letter to Tenant in form of Exhibit G attached hereto;
(n) omitted; and
(o) Such other instruments as are reasonably required by Escrow Agent to close the escrow and consummate the purchase of the Property in accordance with the terms hereof.
At Closing, Buyer shall instruct Escrow Agent to deliver the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Money to Seller which shall be applied to the Purchase Price, shall deliver the balance of the Purchase Price to Seller and shall execute and deliver execution counterparts of the closing documents referenced in clauses (b) and (g) above. Buyer shall have the right to advance the Closing upon five (5) days prior written

notice to Seller; provided that all conditions precedent to both Buyer’s and Seller’s respective obligations to proceed with Closing under this Agreement have been satisfied (or, if there are conditions to a party’s obligation to proceed with Closing that remain unsatisfied, such conditions have been waived by such party). Buyer shall have a one-time right to extend the Closing for up to fifteen (15) business days upon written notice to Seller to be received by Seller on or prior to the date scheduled for the Closing and an additional deposit with the Escrow Agent of FIFTY THOUSAND and NO/Dollars ($50,000.00) that shall become part of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Money. If Buyer timely exercises this right to extend, any document that Seller is obligated to provide that is “time sensitive” does not need to be provided again by Seller. The Closing shall be held through the mail by delivery of the closing documents to the Escrow Agent on or prior to the Closing or such other place or manner as the parties hereto may mutually agree.

26. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement, and shall become a binding agreement when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the parties and delivered to the other party.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Buyer shall be entitled to delay closing for the 10-day period provided for in N.J.S.A. 54:50-38(a) if the Division notifies Buyer that the State has a possible claim for State taxes, until such time as either (i) the amount of the claim is determined by the Division or (ii) the Division notifies the Buyer that the State does not have such a claim, or (iii) the Division determines an escrow to be held by the Buyer’s title company as escrow agent. At or prior to Closing, Seller shall pay or otherwise satisfy in full the amount of such claim, and Buyer shall be entitled to deduct from the net proceeds of sale due to Seller the amount of such claim and to remit those sums to the Division, or to the escrow agent, or take such action in accordance with instructions received from the Division. In the event Seller’s liability for any tax is unconfirmed, or cannot be determined as of the Closing Date, Seller shall agree to escrow with the Buyer’s title company an amount reasonably estimated to satisfy the amounts due and/or such escrow as may be required by the New Jersey Division of Taxation. In the event the amount of the tax, when determined, is less than the escrowed sum, the balance shall be promptly returned to the Seller. In the event the amount of the tax, when determined, is more than the escrowed sum, Seller shall promptly pay the balance.
