Buyer may cancel this agreement for ANY REASON in its sole
discretion by delivering a cancellation notice, return receipt

the Review Period. Such notice shall be deemed effective only
upon receipt by Seller.

Section, except for any escrow cancellation fees and any
liabilities under sections 15(a) of this Agreement (which will
survive), Buyer (after execution of such documents reasonably
requested by Seller to evidence the termination hereof) shall be
returned its First Payment, and Buyer will have absolutely no
rights, claims or interest of any type in connection with the

instructions required by the escrow holder to clarify its rights
and duties (and the parties agree to sign these additional
instructions). If there is any conflict between these other
instructions and this Agreement, this Agreement will control.
8. Title. Closing will be conditioned on the agreement of a
title company selected by Seller to issue an Owner's policy of

equal to the purchase price, insuring that Buyer will own
insurable title to the Property subject only to: the title
company's standard exceptions; current real property taxes and
assessments; survey exceptions; the rights of parties in

and other items of record disclosed to Buyer during the

Buyer shall be allowed five (5) days after receipt of said
commitment for examination and the making of any objections to
marketability thereto, said objections to be made in writing or
deemed waived. If any objections are so made, the Seller shall
be allowed eighty (80) days to make such title marketable or in
the alternative to obtain a commitment for insurable title
insuring over Buyer's objections. If Seller shall decide to make
no efforts to make title marketable, or is unable to make title
marketable or obtain insurable title (after execution by Buyer of
such documents reasonably requested by Seller to evidence the
termination hereof) Buyer's First Payment shall be returned and
this Agreement shall be null and void and of no further force and
effect.
Pending correction of title, the payments hereunder required
shall be postponed, but upon correction of title and within ten
(10) days after written notice of correction to the Buyer, the
parties shall perform this Agreement according to its terms.

the Survey in Sellers possession (if an update is required by
buyer.) Each party will pay its own attorney's fees and costs to
document and close this transaction.
10. Real Estate Taxes, Special Assessments and Prorations.
(a) Because the Entire Property (of which the Property is a
part) is subject to a triple net lease (as further set forth
in paragraph 11(a)(i), the parties acknowledge that there
shall be no need for a real estate tax proration. However,
Seller represents that to the best of its knowledge, all
real estate taxes and installments of special assessments
due and payable in all years prior to the year of Closing
have been paid in full. Unpaid levied and pending special
assessments existing on the date of Closing shall be the
responsibility of Buyer and Seller in proportion to their
respective Tenant in Common interests. Seller and Buyer
shall likewise pay all taxes due and payable in the year
after Closing and any unpaid installments of special
assessments payable therewith and therafter, if such unpaid
levied and pending special assessments and real estate taxes
are not paid by any tenant of the Entire Property.
(b) All income and all operating expenses from the Entire
Property shall be prorated between the parties and adjusted
by them as of the date of Closing. Seller shall be entitled
to all income earned and shall be responsible for all
expenses incurred prior to the date of Closing, and Buyer

earned and shall be responsible for its proportionate shall
of all operating expenses of the Property incurred on and
after the date of closing.

condemnation proceedings against the Property or Seller's
interest in the Property.

be unreasonably withheld. However, Buyer acknowledges that
Seller retains the right both prior to and after the Closing
Date to freely transfer all or a portion of Seller's
