If Seller elects to attempt to cure any objections, Seller shall be entitled to one or more reasonable adjournments of the Closing of up to but not beyond the thirtieth (30th) day following the initial date set for the Closing to attempt such cure, but, except for Monetary Objections, Seller shall not be obligated to expend any sums, commence any suits or take any other action to effect such cure. Except as to Monetary Objections, if Seller elects, or is deemed to have elected, not to cure any exceptions to title to which Purchaser has objected or if, after electing to attempt to cure, Seller determines that it is unwilling or unable to remove, satisfy or otherwise cure any such exceptions, Purchaser’s sole remedy hereunder in such event shall be either (i) to accept title to the Property subject to such exceptions as if Purchaser had not objected thereto and without reduction of the Purchase Price, (ii) if such exceptions are matters first appearing of record after the date of this Agreement, and arise by, through or under Seller, to terminate this Agreement, or (iii) to terminate this Agreement within three (3) Business Days after receipt of written notice from Seller either of Seller’s election not to attempt to cure any objection or of Seller’s determination, having previously elected to attempt to cure, that Seller is unable or unwilling to do so, or three (3) Business Days after Seller is deemed hereunder to have elected not to attempt to cure such objections (and upon any such termination under clause (ii) or (iii) above, Escrow Agent shall return the Xxxxxxx Money to Purchaser). Notwithstanding the above, if such exceptions mentioned in clause (ii) above were entered into by Seller after the Effective Date hereof and Purchaser elects to proceed to Closing, Seller shall have the affirmative obligation to cure such exceptions before Closing and Purchaser shall not take subject to them. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Agreement, Seller shall be obligated to cure or satisfy all Monetary Objections at or prior to Closing, and may use the proceeds of the Purchase Price at Closing for such purpose.

The terms and conditions which are contained in this Agreement and all Due Diligence Material which is not published as public knowledge or which is not generally available in the public domain shall be kept in strict confidence by Purchaser and shall not be disclosed to any individual or entity other than to those authorized representatives of Purchaser who need to know the information for the purpose of assisting Purchaser in evaluating the Property for Purchaser’s potential acquisition thereof; provided however, that Purchaser shall have the right to disclose any such information if required by applicable law or as may be necessary in connection with any court action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement.

Purchaser agrees to pay to Seller, upon receipt and net of any collection costs incurred by Purchaser, any rents or other payments by tenants under their respective Leases that apply to periods prior to Closing but are received by Purchaser after Closing; provided, however, that any delinquent rents or other payments by tenants shall be applied first to any current amounts owing by such tenants, then to delinquent rents in the order in which such rents are most recently past due, with the balance, if any, paid over to Seller to the extent of delinquencies existing at the time of Closing to which Seller is entitled; it being understood and agreed that Purchaser shall not be legally responsible to Seller for the collection of any rents or other charges payable with respect to the Leases or any portion thereof, which are delinquent or past due as of the Closing Date; but Purchaser agrees that Purchaser shall send monthly notices for a period of three (3) consecutive months in an effort to collect any rents and charges not collected as of the Closing Date. Any reimbursements payable by any tenant under the terms of any tenant lease affecting the Property as of the Closing Date, which reimbursements pertain to such tenant’s pro rata share of increased operating expenses or common area maintenance costs incurred with respect to the Property at any time prior to the Closing, shall be prorated upon Purchaser’s actual receipt of any such reimbursements, on the basis of the number of days of Seller and Purchaser’s respective ownership of the Property during the period in respect of which such reimbursements are payable; and Purchaser agrees to pay to Seller Seller’s pro rata portion of such reimbursements within thirty (30) days after Purchaser’s receipt thereof. Conversely, if any tenant under any such Lease shall become entitled at any time after Closing to a refund of tenant reimbursements actually paid by such tenant prior to Closing, then, Seller shall, within thirty (30) days following Purchaser’s demand therefor, pay to Purchaser any amount equal to Seller’s pro rata share of such reimbursement refund obligations, said proration to be calculated on the same basis as hereinabove set forth. Seller hereby retains its right to pursue any tenant under the Leases for sums due Seller for periods attributable to Seller’s ownership of the Property; provided, however, that Seller (i) shall be required to notify Purchaser in writing of its intention to commence or pursue such legal proceedings; (ii) shall only be permitted to commence or pursue any legal proceedings after the date which is three (3) months after Closing, except that Seller shall be entitled to continue to pursue any legal proceedings commenced prior to Closing; and (iii) shall not be permitted to commence or pursue any legal proceedings against any tenant seeking eviction of such tenant or the termination of the applicable Lease. The provisions of this Section 5.4(c) shall survive the Closing.
(d) Percentage Rents. Percentage rents, if any, collected by Purchaser from any tenant under such tenant’s Lease for the percentage rent accounting period in which the Closing
25
occurs shall be prorated between Seller and Purchaser as of the Closing Date, as, if, and when received by Purchaser, such that Seller’s pro rata share shall be an amount equal to the total percentage rentals paid for such percentage rent accounting period under the applicable Lease multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of days in such accounting period prior to Closing and the denominator of which shall be the total number of days in such accounting period; provided, however, that such proration shall be made only at such time as such tenant is current or, after application of a portion of such payment, will be current in the payment of all rental and other charges under such tenant’s Lease that accrue and become due and payable from and after the Closing. The provisions of this Section 5.4(d) shall survive the Closing.
(e) Tenant Inducement Costs. Set forth on EXHIBIT “K” attached hereto and made a part hereof is a list of tenants at the Property with respect to which Tenant Inducement Costs and/or leasing commissions have not been paid in full as of the Effective Date. Seller shall pay all such Tenant Inducement Costs and leasing commissions set forth in EXHIBIT “K” as and when the same are due and payable. If said amounts have not been paid in full on or before Closing, Purchaser shall receive a credit against the Purchase Price in the aggregate amount of all such Tenant Inducement Costs and leasing commissions remaining unpaid at Closing, and Purchaser shall assume the obligation to pay amounts payable after Closing up to the amount of such credit received at Closing. Except as may be specifically provided to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement, Purchaser shall be responsible for the payment of all Tenant Inducement Costs and leasing commissions which become due and payable (whether before or after Closing) (i) as a result of any renewals or extensions or expansions of existing Leases approved or deemed approved by Purchaser in accordance with Section 4.3(a) hereof between the Effective Date and the Closing Date and under any new Leases, approved or deemed approved by Purchaser in accordance with said Section 4.3(a), and (ii) all Tenant Inducement Costs and leasing commissions that first become due and payable after Closing. The provisions of this Section 5.4(e) shall survive the Closing.
(f) Security Deposits. Purchaser shall receive at Closing a credit for all Security Deposits required to be held by Seller under the Leases (except to the extent that a Tenant has certified in a Tenant Estoppel Certificate that it has not deposited, in whole or part, its security deposit with Seller) together with a detailed inventory of such Security Deposits certified by Seller in the updated Rent Roll to be delivered by Seller at Closing.
(g) Operating Expenses. Personal property taxes, installment payments of special assessment liens, vault charges, sewer charges, utility charges, and normally prorated operating expenses actually paid or payable as of the Closing Date shall be prorated as of the Closing Date and adjusted against the Purchase Price, provided that within ninety (90) days after the Closing, Purchaser and Seller will make a further adjustment for such taxes, charges and expenses which may have accrued or been incurred prior to the Closing Date, but not collected or paid at that date. In addition, within ninety (90) days after the close of the fiscal year(s) used in calculating the pass-through to tenants of operating expenses and/or common area maintenance costs under the Leases (where such fiscal year(s) include(s) the Closing Date), Seller and Purchaser shall, upon the request of either, re-prorate on a fair and equitable basis in order to adjust for the effect of any credits or payments due to or from tenants for periods prior to the Closing Date. All
26
prorations shall be made based on the number of calendar days in such year or month, as the case may be. The provisions of this Section 5.4(g) shall survive the Closing.
ARTICLE 6.
CONDITIONS TO CLOSING
6.1. Conditions Precedent to Purchaser’s Obligations. The obligations of Purchaser hereunder to consummate the transaction contemplated hereunder shall in all respects be conditioned upon the satisfaction of each of the following conditions prior to or simultaneously with the Closing, any of which may be waived by Purchaser in its sole discretion by written notice to Seller at or prior to the Closing Date:
(a) Seller shall have delivered to Purchaser all of the items required to be delivered to Purchaser pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, including, but not limited to Section 5.1 hereof;
(b) Existing Lender shall have approved Purchaser’s assumption of the Existing Loan;
(c) Seller shall have performed, in all material respects, all covenants, agreements and undertakings of Seller contained in this Agreement;
(d) All representations and warranties of Seller as set forth in this Agreement shall be true and correct in all material respects as of the date of this Agreement and as of Closing, provided that solely for purposes of this subparagraph such warranties and representations shall be deemed to be given without being limited to Seller’s knowledge and without modification (by update or otherwise, as provided in Section 5.1(i) hereof); and
(d) Tenant Estoppel Certificates shall have been delivered to Purchaser from: Kroger (the “Anchor Tenant”), in the form that said tenant is obligated to deliver pursuant to its lease; and (z) tenants occupying not less than eighty-five percent (85%) of the remaining occupied, aggregate net rentable square footage of all of the Improvements located on the Property. Each Tenant Estoppel Certificate shall: (i) be substantially in the form attached hereto as EXHIBIT “I” (or if the applicable Lease provides for a particular form of estoppel certificate to be given by the tenant thereunder, the Tenant Estoppel Certificate with respect to such Lease may be in the form as called for therein), (ii) be dated within sixty (60) days prior to the Closing Date, (iii) confirm the material terms of the applicable Lease, and (iv) confirm the absence of any material defaults under the applicable Lease as of the date thereof. The delivery of said Tenant Estoppel Certificates shall be a condition of Closing, and the failure or inability of Seller to obtain and deliver said Tenant Estoppel Certificates, Seller having used its good faith efforts to obtain the same, shall not constitute a default by Seller under this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if Seller has been unable to obtain and deliver to Purchaser by Closing the applicable percentage of Tenant Estoppel Certificates for the tenants described in subclause (z) above and meeting the requirements set forth above, then, at the option of Seller, that portion of this condition to Closing may be satisfied by Seller’s execution and delivery to Purchaser at Closing, on behalf of any one or more tenants which have failed to provide the
27
required Tenant Estoppel Certificate an estoppel certificate substantially in the form attached hereto as SCHEDULE 11 (“Seller’s Estoppel”); and provided that Seller’s liability under any such Seller’s Estoppel so executed and delivered by Seller to Purchaser at Closing shall cease and terminate upon the receipt by Purchaser after Closing of a duly executed Tenant Estoppel Certificate from the tenant under the applicable Lease covered in such Seller’s Estoppel. Notwithstanding Seller’s right to substitute the Seller’s Estoppel for some percentage of tenants in the small shops, the Seller’s Estoppel may not be used as a substitution for the Tenant Estoppel Certificate from the Anchor Tenant.
In the event any of the conditions in this Section 6.1 have not been satisfied (or otherwise waived in writing by Purchaser) prior to or on the Closing Date (as same may be extended or postponed as provided in this Agreement), Purchaser shall have the right to, at its option: (x) terminate this Agreement by written notice to Seller given prior to the Closing, whereupon (i) Escrow Agent shall return the Xxxxxxx Money to Purchaser; and (ii) except for those provisions of this Agreement which by their express terms survive the termination of this Agreement, no party hereto shall have any other or further rights or obligations under this Agreement; or (y) extend the Closing Date for a period of thirty (30) days to permit Seller to make further good faith efforts to satisfy such condition. In the event that the Closing Date is so extended and, at the end of such period, the unsatisfied condition has still not been satisfied, Purchaser shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by written notice to Seller given prior to Closing, whereupon (i) Escrow Agent shall return the Xxxxxxx Money to Purchaser; and (ii) except for those provisions of this Agreement which by their express terms survive the termination of this Agreement, no party hereto shall have any other or further or rights or obligations under this Agreement.
6.2. Conditions Precedent to Seller’s Obligations. The obligations of Seller hereunder to consummate the transaction contemplated hereunder shall in all respects be conditioned upon the satisfaction of each of the following conditions prior to or simultaneously with the Closing, any of which may be waived by Seller in its sole discretion by written notice to Purchaser at or prior to the Closing Date:
(a) Purchaser shall have paid and Seller shall have received the Purchase Price, as adjusted pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, which Purchase Price shall be payable in the amount and in the manner provided for in this Agreement;
(b) Purchaser shall have delivered to Seller all of the items required to be delivered to Seller pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, including, but not limited to Section 5.2 hereof;
(c) Purchaser shall have performed, in all material respects, all covenants, agreements and undertakings of Purchaser contained in this Agreement; and
(d) All representations and warranties of Purchaser as set forth in this Agreement shall be true and correct in all material respects as of the date of this Agreement and as of Closing, provided that solely for purposes of this subparagraph such warranties and representations shall be deemed to be given without being limited to Purchaser’s knowledge and without modification (by update or otherwise, as provided in Section 5.2(d) hereof).
28
(e) Seller shall not have any obligation to sell any one Property to Purchaser unless Purchaser prior to or on the Closing Date closes on the acquisition of Indian River Square Shopping Center in Vero Beach, Florida and Plaza Volente Shopping Center in Austin, Texas. In the event that Closing does not occur as a result of Purchaser’s failure or refusal to adhere to the requirements of this subsection, this Agreement and the Related Agreements shall terminate and Escrow Agent shall pay the Xxxxxxx Money to the Seller.
(f) Existing Lender’s approval of Purchaser’s assumption of the Existing Loan, including a full release of Seller from any obligation or liability of Seller under the Existing Loan arising after Closing.
ARTICLE 7.
CASUALTY AND CONDEMNATION
7.1. Casualty. Risk of loss up to and including the Closing Date shall be borne by Seller. In the event of any immaterial damage or destruction to the Property or any portion thereof, Seller and Purchaser shall proceed to close under this Agreement, and Purchaser will receive (and Seller will assign to Purchaser at the Closing Seller’s rights under insurance policies to receive) any insurance proceeds (including any rent loss insurance applicable to any period on and after the Closing Date) due Seller as a result of such damage or destruction and assume responsibility for such repair, and Purchaser shall receive a credit at Closing for any deductible, uninsured or coinsured amount under said insurance policies. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “immaterial damage or destruction” shall mean such instances of damage or destruction: (i) which can be repaired or restored at a cost of One Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($100,000.00) or less; (ii) which can be restored and repaired within sixty (60) days from the date of such damage or destruction; and (iii) in which Seller’s rights under its rent loss insurance policy covering the Property are sufficient to replace lost rent for a period of eighteen (18) months and are assignable to Purchaser and will continue pending restoration and repair of the damage or destruction.
In the event of any material damage or destruction to the Property or any portion thereof, Purchaser may, at its option, by notice to Seller given within the earlier of twenty (20) days after Purchaser is notified by Seller of such damage or destruction, or the Closing Date, but in no event less than ten (10) days after Purchaser is notified by Seller of such damage or destruction (and if necessary the Closing Date shall be extended to give Purchaser the full 10-day period to make such election): (i) terminate this Agreement, whereupon Escrow Agent shall immediately return the Xxxxxxx Money to Purchaser, or (ii) proceed to close under this Agreement, receive (and Seller will assign to Purchaser at the Closing Seller’s rights under insurance policies to receive) any insurance proceeds (including any rent loss insurance applicable to the period on or after the Closing Date) due Seller as a result of such damage or destruction (less any amounts reasonably expended for restoration or collection of proceeds) and assume responsibility for such repair, and Purchaser shall receive a credit at Closing for any deductible amount under said insurance policies. If Purchaser fails to deliver to Seller notice of its election within the period set forth above, Purchaser will conclusively be deemed to have elected to proceed with the Closing as provided in clause (ii) of the preceding sentence. If Purchaser elects clause (ii) above,
29
Seller will cooperate with Purchaser after the Closing to assist Purchaser in obtaining the insurance proceeds from Seller’s insurers. For purposes of this Agreement “material damage or destruction” shall mean all instances of damage or destruction that are not immaterial, as defined herein.
7.2. Condemnation. If, prior to the Closing, all or any part of the Property is subjected to a bona fide threat of condemnation by a body having the power of eminent domain or is taken by eminent domain or condemnation (or sale in lieu thereof), or if Seller has received written notice that any condemnation action or proceeding with respect to the Property is contemplated by a body having the power of eminent domain, Seller shall give Purchaser immediate written notice of such threatened or contemplated condemnation or of such taking or sale, and Purchaser may by written notice to Seller given within thirty (30) days after the receipt of such notice from Seller, elect to cancel this Agreement. Purchaser waives any right to terminate as a result of disclosures set forth in Schedule 4.1(m), if any. If Purchaser chooses to cancel this Agreement in accordance with this Section 7.2, then the Xxxxxxx Money shall be returned immediately to Purchaser by Escrow Agent and the rights, duties, obligations, and liabilities of the parties hereunder shall immediately terminate and be of no further force and effect, except for those provisions of this Agreement which by their express terms survive the termination of this Agreement. If Purchaser does not elect to cancel this Agreement in accordance herewith, this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and the sale of the Property contemplated by this Agreement, less any interest taken by eminent domain or condemnation, or sale in lieu thereof, shall be effected with no further adjustment and without reduction of the Purchase Price, and at the Closing, Seller shall assign, transfer, and set over to Purchaser all of the right, title, and interest of Seller in and to any awards applicable to the Property that have been or that may thereafter be made for such taking. At such time as all or a part of the Property is subjected to a bona fide threat of condemnation and Purchaser shall not have elected to terminate this Agreement as provided in this Section 7.2, and provided that the Inspection Period has expired and Purchaser has delivered the Additional Xxxxxxx Money to Escrow Agent, (i) Purchaser shall thereafter be permitted to participate in the proceedings as if Purchaser were a party to the action, and (ii) Seller shall not settle or agree to any award or payment pursuant to condemnation, eminent domain, or sale in lieu thereof without obtaining Purchaser’s prior written consent thereto in each case.
ARTICLE 8.
DEFAULT AND REMEDIES
8.1. Purchaser’s Default. If Purchaser fails to consummate this transaction for any reason other than Seller’s intentional and willful default, failure of a condition to Purchaser’s obligation to close, or the exercise by Purchaser of an express right of termination granted herein, Seller shall be entitled, as its sole remedy hereunder, to terminate this Agreement and to receive and retain the Xxxxxxx Money as full liquidated damages for such default of Purchaser, the parties hereto acknowledging that it is impossible to estimate more precisely the damages which might be suffered by Seller upon Purchaser’s default, and that said Xxxxxxx Money is a reasonable estimate of Seller’s probable loss in the event of default by Purchaser. Seller’s
30
retention of said Xxxxxxx Money is intended not as a penalty, but as full liquidated damages. The right to retain the Xxxxxxx Money as full liquidated damages is Seller’s sole and exclusive remedy in the event of default hereunder by Purchaser, and Seller hereby waives and releases any right to (and hereby covenants that it shall not) xxx the Purchaser: (a) for specific performance of this Agreement, or (b) to recover actual damages in excess of the Xxxxxxx Money. The foregoing liquidated damages provision shall not apply to or limit Purchaser’s liability for Purchaser’s obligations under Sections 3.1(b), 3.1(c), 3.7 and 10.1 of this Agreement. Purchaser hereby waives and releases any right to (and hereby covenants that it shall not) xxx Seller or seek or claim a refund of said Xxxxxxx Money (or any part thereof) on the grounds it is unreasonable in amount and exceeds Seller’s actual damages or that its retention by Seller constitutes a penalty and not agreed upon and reasonable liquidated damages.
8.2. Seller’s Default. If Seller fails to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement for any reason other than Purchaser’s default or the permitted termination of this Agreement by Seller or Purchaser as expressly provided herein, Purchaser shall be entitled, as its sole remedy, and at its option: (a) to receive the return of the Xxxxxxx Money from Escrow Agent, and reimbursement from Seller for Purchaser’s reasonable third party due diligence costs which return and reimbursement shall operate to terminate this Agreement and release Seller from any and all liability hereunder, (b) to enforce specific performance of Seller’s obligation to execute and deliver the documents required to convey the Property to Purchaser in accordance with this Agreement, or (c) in the event that Seller’s default is such that the remedy of specific performance is rendered impossible, or such that the value of the Property is adversely affected, then Seller shall be obligated to reimburse Purchaser for Purchaser’s reasonable third party due diligence costs which return and reimbursement shall operate to terminate this Agreement and release Seller from any and all liability hereunder. Purchaser expressly waives its rights to seek damages in the event of Seller’s default hereunder (except for the reimbursement described above). Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected to terminate this Agreement and to receive a return of the Xxxxxxx Money and reimbursement of third-party due diligence costs from Escrow Agent if Purchaser fails to file suit for specific performance against Seller in a court having jurisdiction in the county and state in which the Property is located, on or before sixty (60) days following the date upon which Purchaser delivered written notice to Seller stating that Seller was in default of this Agreement.
ARTICLE 9.
ASSIGNMENT
9.1. Assignment. Subject to the next following sentence, this Agreement and all rights and obligations hereunder shall not be assignable by any party without the written consent of the other. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, this Agreement and Purchaser’s rights hereunder may be transferred and assigned to any entity owned directly or indirectly, in whole or part, by Kite Realty Group, L.P. Any assignee or transferee under any such assignment or transfer by Purchaser as to which Seller’s written consent has been given or as to which Seller’s consent is not required hereunder shall expressly assume all of Purchaser’s duties, liabilities and obligations under this Agreement by written instrument delivered to Seller as a condition to the effectiveness of such assignment or transfer. No assignment or transfer shall
31
relieve the original Purchaser of any duties or obligations hereunder, and the written assignment and assumption instrument shall expressly so provide. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective legal representatives, successors and permitted assigns. This Agreement is not intended and shall not be construed to create any rights in or to be enforceable in any part by any other persons.
ARTICLE 10.
BROKERAGE COMMISSIONS
10.1. Broker. Upon the Closing, and only in the event the Closing occurs, Seller shall pay a brokerage commission to NewBridge Retail Advisors (“Broker”) pursuant to a separate agreement. Broker acknowledges and agrees that it shall look solely to Seller for the payment of its commission, and Broker hereby waives and releases any present or future claims against Purchaser for the payment of such commission. In addition, Broker (upon receipt of its brokerage commission) agrees to execute and deliver to Seller and Purchaser at the Closing a release and waiver of any claim Broker may have against Purchaser or the Property. Broker shall and does hereby indemnify and hold Purchaser and Seller harmless from and against any and all liability, loss, cost, damage, and expense, including reasonable attorneys’ fees actually incurred and costs of litigation, Purchaser or Seller shall ever suffer or incur because of any claim by any agent, salesman, or broker, whether or not meritorious, for any fee, commission or other compensation with regard to this Agreement or the sale and purchase of the Property contemplated hereby, and arising out of any acts or agreements of Broker. Seller shall and does hereby indemnify and hold Purchaser harmless from and against any and all liability, loss, cost, damage, and expense, including reasonable attorneys’ fees actually incurred and costs of litigation, Purchaser shall ever suffer or incur because of any claim by any agent, salesman, or broker, whether or not meritorious, for any fee, commission or other compensation with regard to this Agreement or the sale and purchase of the Property contemplated hereby, and arising out of any acts or agreements of Seller, including any claim asserted by Broker. Likewise, Purchaser shall and does hereby indemnify and hold Seller free and harmless from and against any and all liability, loss, cost, damage, and expense, including reasonable attorneys’ fees actually incurred and costs of litigation, Seller shall ever suffer or incur because of any claim by any agent, salesman, or broker, whether or not meritorious, for any fee, commission or other compensation with respect to this Agreement or the sale and purchase of the Property contemplated hereby and arising out of the acts or agreements of Purchaser. This Section 10.1 shall survive the Closing or any earlier termination of this Agreement.
ARTICLE 11.

11.4 [INTENTIONALLY DELETED]
11.5 Discharge of Obligations. The acceptance by Purchaser of the documents listed in Section 5.1 hereunder shall be deemed to constitute the full performance and discharge of each and every warranty and representation made by Seller and Purchaser herein and every agreement and obligation on the part of Seller and Purchaser to be performed pursuant to the terms of this
33
Agreement, except those warranties, representations, covenants and agreements which are specifically provided in this Agreement to survive Closing.
11.6 Severability. This Agreement is intended to be performed in accordance with, and only to the extent permitted by, all applicable laws, ordinances, rules and regulations. If any provision of this Agreement, or the application thereof to any person or circumstance, shall, for any reason and to any extent be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement and the application of such provision to other persons or circumstances shall not be affected thereby but rather shall be enforced to the greatest extent permitted by law.
11.7 Construction. This Agreement shall not be construed more strictly against one party than against the other merely by virtue of the fact that this Agreement may have been prepared by counsel for one of the parties, it being mutually acknowledged and agreed that Seller and Purchaser and their respective counsel have contributed substantially and materially to the preparation and negotiation of this Agreement. Accordingly, 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 exhibits or amendments hereto.
11.8 Sale Notification Letters. Promptly following the Closing, Purchaser shall deliver the Tenant Notices of Sale to each of the respective tenants under the Leases and the Other Notices of Sale to each service provider and leasing agent, the obligations under whose respective Operating Agreements and Commission Agreements Purchaser has assumed at Closing. The provisions of this Section shall survive the Closing.
11.9 Access to Records Following Closing. Purchaser agrees that for a period of two (2) years following the Closing, Seller shall have the right during regular business hours, on five (5) days’ written notice to Purchaser, to examine and review at Purchaser’s office (or, at Purchaser’s election, at the Property), the books and records relating to the ownership and operation of the Property which were delivered by Seller to Purchaser at the Closing. Likewise, Seller agrees that for a period of two (2) years following the Closing, Purchaser shall have the right during regular business hours, on five (5) days’ written notice to Seller, to examine and review at Seller’s office, all books, records and files, if any, retained by Seller relating to the ownership and operation of the Property by Seller prior to the Closing.

11.11 General Provisions. No failure of either party to exercise any power given hereunder or to insist upon strict compliance with any obligation specified herein, and no custom or practice at variance with the terms hereof, shall constitute a waiver of either party’s right to demand exact compliance with the terms hereof. This Agreement contains the entire agreement of the parties hereto, and no representations, inducements, promises, or agreements, oral or otherwise, between the parties not embodied herein shall be of any force or effect. Any
34
amendment to this Agreement shall not be binding upon Seller or Purchaser unless such amendment is in writing and executed by both Seller and Purchaser. Subject to the provisions of Section 9.1 hereof, the provisions of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective heirs, legal representatives, successors, and permitted assigns. Time is of the essence in this Agreement. The headings inserted at the beginning of each paragraph are for convenience only, and do not add to or subtract from the meaning of the contents of each paragraph. This Agreement shall be construed and interpreted under the laws of the State of Georgia. Except as otherwise provided herein, all rights, powers, and privileges conferred hereunder upon the parties shall be cumulative but not restrictive to those given by law. All personal pronouns used in this Agreement, whether used in the masculine, feminine, or neuter gender shall include all genders, and all references herein to the singular shall include the plural and vice versa.
11.12 Attorney’s Fees.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Paragraph 6, any repair and maintenance obligations of Landlord or Tenant shall be subject to the provisions of Paragraphs 14 and 15 below, which shall govern and control the same.
7. COMMON USE AND AREAS. All facilities furnished in the Shopping Center and designated for the general use, in common, of occupants of the Shopping Center, including Tenant hereunder, its agents, employees, customers and invitees, including but not limited to the common areas, xxxxxxx xxxxx, xxxxxxx, xxxxxxxx, sidewalks, canopies, loading platforms, malls, shelters, ramps, landscaped areas, and other facilities whether of a similar or dissimilar nature (herein called “Common Areas”) shall at all times be subject to the exclusive control and management of Landlord, and Landlord shall have the right from time to time to change the area, level, location and arrangement of the Common Areas, to restrict parking by tenants and their employees to employee parking areas, and to make all rules and regulations and do such things from time to time as in Landlord’s sole discretion may be necessary regarding such facilities, subject to the requirements of any approved subleases.
8. PARKING, COMMON AREAS AND SERVICE AREAS. Landlord will operate and maintain the Common Areas referred to above. In addition to any other rental or charges to Tenant elsewhere set forth as additional rental, Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord its pro rata share of the expenses, of whatsoever kind or nature, for operating, maintaining, managing and repairing the Common Areas referred to above. The pro rata share of such Common Areas expenses which are required to be paid by Tenant shall be the percentage of such Common Areas expenses which is equal to the total square footage leased by Tenant as compared with and in relation to the total leaseable square footage of all buildings in the Shopping Center, whether leased or not leased. Tenant shall pay such amount not later than thirty (30) days after presentation of a statement therefor by Landlord to Tenant. Tenant shall be entitled to a credit against the amount due under this Paragraph 8 for the amount of similar payments made to Landlord by any Third Party Lessees of the Leased Premises.
9. CARE OF LEASED PREMISES. Tenant shall at all times keep the Leased Premises and the adjoining areas (subject to its reasonable control) in a clean and neat condition. Tenant shall not make any alterations, additions or improvements to the Leased Premises without Landlord’s prior written consent, in its sole and absolute discretion, subject to the requirements of any approved subleases.
11
10. REAL ESTATE AND OTHER TAXES. In addition to any other rental or charges to Tenant elsewhere set forth as additional rental, Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord its pro rata share of all ad valorem or other real estate taxes and assessments upon the Shopping Center regardless of the governmental jurisdiction, authority or authorities levying the same. The pro rata share of such taxes which is required to be paid by Tenant shall be that percentage of such taxes which is equal to the total square footage leased by Tenant as compared with and in relation to the total leaseable square footage of all buildings in the Shopping Center (or the smaller tax parcel of which the Leased Premises is a part), whether leased or not leased. Tenant shall pay such amount not later than thirty (30) days after presentation of a statement therefor by Landlord to Tenant.
11. INSURANCE PREMIUMS. Tenant shall pay to Landlord that portion of premiums for fire and extended coverage, business interruption, rental loss, liability and all other insurance deemed commercially reasonable and carried by Landlord with respect to the Shopping Center and Common Areas equal to the product obtained by multiplying said premium by the same fraction used under Paragraph 8 above. Within thirty (30) days after Landlord notifies Tenant of the amount due under this Paragraph and certifies the correctness of same, Tenant shall pay such amount as additional rent. Tenant shall be entitled to a credit against the amount due under this Paragraph 11 for the amount of similar payments made to Landlord by any Third Party Lessees of the Leased Premises. The amount of fire and extended coverage insurance carried by Landlord will be at Landlord’s discretion, but will not be unreasonably excessive in relation to replacement cost.
12. INDEMNIFICATION AND LIABILITY INSURANCE. Tenant shall indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from and against any and all claims, actions, damages, liability and expense in connection with loss of life, personal injury and/or damage to property arising from or out of any occurrence in, upon or at the Leased Premises, or the occupancy or use by Tenant of the Leased Premises or any part thereof, or occasioned wholly or in part by any negligent act or omission of Tenant, its agents, contractors, employees, servants, lessees or concessionaires. Landlord shall indemnify and hold Tenant harmless from and against any and all claims, actions, damages, liability and expense in connection with loss of life, personal injury and/or damage to property arising from or out of any occurrence in, upon or at the Common Areas, or occasioned wholly or in part by any negligent act or omission of Landlord, its agents, contractors, employees, servants, lessees or concessionaires. In case Landlord shall be made a party to any litigation commenced by or against Tenant, then Tenant shall protect and hold Landlord harmless and pay all costs and attorney’s fees incurred by Landlord in connection with such litigation and any appeals thereof. For this purpose, but without limiting Tenant’s indemnification obligations, Tenant shall provide and keep in force, for the protection of the general public and Landlord, liability insurance against claims for bodily injuries or death upon or near the Leased Premises, sidewalks, streets and service and parking areas adjacent thereto, with limits of not less than $1,000,000.00 for bodily injuries to or death of any one person and with limits of not less than $2,000,000.00 for bodily injuries to or death of any number of persons arising out of one accident, and property damage with limits of not less than $500,000.00. Tenant shall name Landlord as an additional insured. Tenant shall furnish Landlord at all times with satisfactory evidence of such coverage. All notices of termination shall be provided to Landlord at least thirty (30) days prior to such termination.

Tenant shall also pay to Landlord any and all water connection charges for the Leased Premises if Landlord is required to pay the same to any governing authority.
14. WAIVER OF SUBROGATION. Landlord and Tenant hereby waive and release each other of and from any and all rights of recovery, claim, action or cause of action against each other, their agents, officers, directors, partners and employees, for any loss or damage that may occur to the Leased Premises or any other improvements in the Shopping Center, or personal property, including building contents, within the Leased Premises and/or the Shopping Center, by reason of fire or the elements of nature or other events normally covered by extended all risk property damage insurance coverage, regardless of cause or origin INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, NEGLIGENCE OF LANDLORD OR TENANT AND THEIR AGENTS, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, MEMBERS, PARTNERS AND EMPLOYEES. Landlord and Tenant shall immediately give written notice of the terms of the mutual waivers contained in this Paragraph 14 to each of their respective insurance companies which have issued policies of insurance covering all risk property damage, and shall have the insurance policies properly endorsed to reflect the insurance company’s acknowledgment of such waiver and the absence of any subrogation rights. Each party shall provide to the other, annually within ten (10) days after request therefor, evidence that its all risk property damage insurance policies have been so endorsed.
15. FIRE OR CASUALTY. If the Leased Premises shall be damaged to the extent of more than fifty percent (50%) of the reasonable value of the improvements above foundation and floor by fire or other casualty, Landlord or Tenant may either:
(a) terminate the term of this Lease Agreement, effective as of the date of such fire or casualty, by written notice given to the other party within thirty (30) days after such date, in which event all obligations of Tenant hereunder shall terminate as of the date of such fire or casualty; or
(b) if the Lease Agreement is not terminated as set forth in paragraph (a) above, to repair, restore or rehabilitate the Leased Premises at Landlord’s expense, in which event the term hereof shall not terminate, but all rents herein reserved shall be abated on a per diem basis until the Leased Premises are restored to the same condition as existed prior to such fire or casualty.

In the event that all or any part of the Leased Premises or any part of the common area shall be taken by any public authority under the power of eminent domain or like power, this Lease Agreement shall terminate as of the date possession shall be required to be delivered to the appropriate authority. Landlord shall be entitled to all such awards of damages as may be allowed, subject to the requirements of any approved subleases.

17. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING. Without Landlord’s prior written consent, or except as specifically set forth herein, in its sole and absolute discretion, Tenant may not assign this Lease Agreement. Tenant may sublet any part of the Leased Premises subject to Landlord’s prior, written approval, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld so long as such sub-tenant’s proposed use does not conflict with any existing or prohibited uses at the Shopping Center, and so long as such subtenant satisfies the Leasing Standards. Landlord hereby agrees that (y) Landlord shall enter into a commercially reasonable non-disturbance and attornment agreement with the subtenant at the time such sublease is entered into, and (z) the term of such a sublease may extend beyond the term of this Lease (provided that, at the end of the term of this Lease, the sublease will convert to a direct lease between Landlord and the subtenant, so long as the sublease is otherwise an Approved Lease).
18. LEASE MODIFICATION. Landlord agrees that if Tenant, or Tenant’s agent, obtains a Third Party Lessee for any or all of the Leased Premises, and Landlord and the Third Party Lessee enter into a lease for such space, Landlord and Tenant shall execute and deliver an amendment to this Lease Agreement whereby such space leased to the Third Party Lessee shall be deleted from the Leased Premises under this Lease Agreement. In such event, that is, upon Third Party Lease Commencement (as defined in Paragraph 1 above), Tenant shall have no further duties or obligations under this Lease Agreement with respect to such space leased to a Third Party Lessee.
19. TRANSFER OF LANDLORD’S INTEREST. In the event of the sale, assignment or transfer by Landlord of its interest in the Shopping Center to a successor in interest who assumes this Lease, Landlord shall thereupon be released and discharged from all of its covenants and obligations hereunder, except such obligations as shall have accrued prior to any such sale, assignment or transfer.
20. LIENS. Nothing contained in this Lease shall be construed as a consent on the part of Landlord to subject the estate of Landlord to liability under the Mechanic’s Lien Law of the State of Georgia, it being expressly understood that Landlord’s estate shall not be subject to such liability for improvements made by Tenant. Tenant shall strictly comply with the Mechanic’s Lien Law of the State of Georgia. In the event that a claim of lien is filed against the Leased Premises and/or the Shopping Center in connection with any work performed by or on behalf of Tenant, Tenant shall satisfy such claim, or shall transfer the same to security, within thirty (30) days from the date of filing. In the event that Tenant fails to satisfy or transfer such claim within said thirty (30) day period, Landlord may do so and thereafter charge Tenant, as additional rent, all costs incurred by Landlord in connection with satisfaction or transfer of such claim, including attorneys’ fees. Further, Tenant agrees to indemnify, defend and save Landlord harmless from and against any damage or loss incurred by Landlord as a result of any such claim of lien.
21. DEFAULT. As used in this Lease Agreement, the term “event of default” shall mean any of the following:

(b) Tenant’s failure, within thirty (30) days after receipt of demand from Landlord, to fulfill any other obligation imposed on Tenant by this Lease;
(c) Tenant makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, files a voluntary petition in bankruptcy under any chapter of the Federal Bankruptcy Act, or is the subject of an involuntary petition in bankruptcy filed against it and not dismissed within thirty (30) days; or
(d) A receiver is appointed for Tenant or Tenant’s leasehold interest hereunder or property used in connection therewith shall be taken on execution.
22. REMEDIES. Upon the happening of an “event of default”, Landlord at its option may:
(a) terminate this Lease Agreement; or
(b) terminate Tenant’s right to possession of the Leased Premises without terminating the term of this Lease Agreement.
Upon termination of this Lease Agreement for any reason, or upon termination of the Tenant’s right of possession as provided above, Tenant shall promptly surrender possession to Landlord and vacate the Leased Premises and Landlord may re-enter the Leased Premises and expel the Tenant or anyone claiming under the Tenant (subject to non-disturbance agreements described above) and remove the property of any of them without notice, formal claim or process, Landlord being absolved of any liability or claim for damages in doing anything reasonably necessary or appropriate in connection therewith. If Landlord elects to terminate the term of this Lease Agreement or Tenant’s right of possession, Landlord may, at its option, lease or sublet all or any part of the Leased Premises on such terms and conditions as Landlord may elect and collect from Tenant any balance remaining due on the rent or other obligations payable by Tenant under this Lease Agreement and such amounts shall be credited against any amounts owing by Tenant hereunder.

15
(d) to exhibit the Leased Premises to prospective tenants, purchasers or other persons; and
(e) to alter or otherwise prepare the Leased Premises for re-occupancy at any time after Tenant has vacated the Leased Premises.
No authorized entry by Landlord shall constitute an eviction of Tenant or a deprivation of Tenant’s rights, alter the obligations of Tenant or create any right in Tenant adverse to Landlord’s interest hereunder.
24. LANDLORD’S WARRANTIES. Landlord warrants to Tenant that it has the right to lease the Leased Premises on the terms and conditions of this Lease Agreement, that the Leased Premises are presently free of any zoning or other restrictions prohibiting use or occupancy thereof for shopping center uses and that Tenant may peaceably and quietly hold and enjoy the Leased Premises for the term of this Lease Agreement as long as it shall faithfully perform its obligations hereunder, except as otherwise provided for by the terms of this Lease Agreement.
25. NOTICES AND REPORTS. Any notice, report, statement, approval, consent, designation, demand or request to be given, and any option or election to be exercised, by a party under the provisions of this Lease Agreement shall be effective only when made in writing and delivered in person or by certified or registered mail to the other party at the applicable address set forth above. However, either party may designate a different address by giving the other party written notice of the change. Rentals payable to Landlord shall be paid by Tenant at the same address prescribed for delivery of written notice.
26. CONSTRUCTION OF LEASE. This Lease Agreement shall be construed according to the laws of the State of Georgia. References to Tenant, whenever consistent with the contents of this Lease, shall include the plural, neuter, feminine and masculine. In the absence of specific provisions to the contrary, the party upon whom an obligation is imposed by this Lease shall perform the obligation at its own expense. Paragraph headings relating to the contents of particular paragraphs are inserted only for the purpose of convenience and are not to be construed as parts of the particular paragraphs to which they refer. Any separate or attached sketch, drawing, plan, specification, rider or schedule shall be deemed an original part of this Lease Agreement only if initialed by the parties and bearing the same date as this Lease Agreement. This Lease Agreement and the Contract contain all of the understandings between the parties and may not be added to or modified except by one or more written instruments signed by the party or parties to be charged with the obligations set forth therein. The failure of Landlord to insist upon strict performance of any of the covenants or conditions of this Lease Agreement, or to exercise any option herein conferred in any one or more instances, shall not be construed as a waiver or relinquishment of any such covenants, conditions or options, but the same shall be and remain in full force and effect.
27. NON-RECORDATION. It is expressly agreed and understood that filing of record, by or through the act or effort of Tenant or its successors, legal representatives or assigns, in any manner whatsoever as an exhibit or attachment to any other instrument so filed or
16
otherwise, of this Lease Agreement in the public records without the prior written consent of Landlord shall be deemed a default by Tenant under the terms and conditions of this Lease Agreement. Either party hereto, upon the request of and at the expense of the other party, shall execute a short form of this Lease Agreement adequate for recordation.
28. DEFAULT BY LANDLORD. Tenant shall not have the right to terminate this Lease Agreement because of Landlord’s default unless Tenant has given notice to Landlord and to any mortgage holder of whom Tenant has been given notice, specifying the nature of default by Landlord, and Landlord or such mortgagee shall not have cured the default within thirty (30) days after such notice.
29. BINDING EFFECT OF LEASE. All rights and liabilities given to or imposed upon either of the parties by this Lease Agreement shall benefit and bind their respective successors, heirs and assigns, to the extent this Lease Agreement may be assignable as provided above.
30. PARTIAL INVALIDITY. If any term, covenant, condition or provision of this Lease Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remaining provisions hereof shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated thereby.
31. RIGHTS CUMULATIVE. All rights, powers and privileges conferred hereunder upon the parties hereto shall be cumulative and not restricted to those given by law.
32. SUBORDINATION AND ATTORNMENT.
(a) Tenant hereby subordinates its rights hereunder to the lien of any mortgage or mortgages, or the lien resulting from any other method of financing or refinancing, now or hereafter in force against the land and buildings of which the Leased Premises are a part, and to all advances made or hereafter to be made upon the security thereof. This subparagraph shall be self-operative and no further instrument of subordination shall be required by any mortgagee, but Tenant agrees upon request of Landlord, from time to time, to execute promptly any and all documents evidencing such subordination.
(b) In the event that any proceedings are brought for the foreclosure of, or in the event of exercise of the power of sale under, any mortgage made by Landlord covering the Leased Premises or in the event that a deed is given in lieu of foreclosure of any such mortgage, Tenant shall attorn to the purchaser, or grantee in lieu of foreclosure, upon any such foreclosure or sale and recognize such purchaser, or grantee in lieu of foreclosure, as the Landlord under this Lease Agreement.
33. NO PARTNERSHIP. Landlord does not, in any way or for any purpose, become a partner of Tenant in the conduct of its business, or otherwise, or a joint venturer or a member of a joint enterprise with Tenant, nor does anything in this Lease Agreement confer any interest in Landlord in the conduct of Tenant’s business.
17
34. LIABILITY OF LANDLORD. Tenant shall look solely to the estate and property of Landlord in the land and buildings comprising the Shopping Center and the proceeds thereof for the collection of any judgment, or in connection with any other judicial process, requiring the payment of money by Landlord in the event of any default or breach by Landlord with respect to any of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease Agreement to be observed and performed by Landlord and no other property or estate of Landlord shall be subject to levy, execution or other enforcement procedures for the satisfaction of Tenant’s remedies and rights under this Lease Agreement.
This Lease Agreement and the Contract contain all of the agreements and understandings between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and may not be modified orally or in any manner other than by an agreement in writing, signed by the parties hereto or their respective successors in interest.
35. DEFINED TERMS. Any capitalized terms that are not otherwise defined herein shall be deemed to have the meaning given them in the Contract.
