3. Title Matters.
(a) Buyer’s obligations under this Agreement are expressly conditioned upon:
2
(i) Buyer’s delivery to Escrow Holder, with a copy to Seller, no later than the end of the Due Diligence Period, of Buyer’s written approval of the covenants, conditions, reservations, restrictions, easements, and other matters described in a preliminary title report to be issued by Chicago Title Company (“Title Company”) covering the Property and legible copies of all documents referred to in the exceptions set forth therein (collectively, the “Title Report”) or on Buyer’s Survey (defined below). Exceptions and other matters in the Title Report that are approved by Buyer and liens for non-delinquent real property taxes shall be referred to herein as the “Permitted Exceptions”. Buyer’s failure to deliver its written approval or disapproval before the end of the Due Diligence Period shall be deemed Buyer’s disapproval shall constitute a failure of this condition precedent and Buyer’s election to terminate this Agreement, in which event the provisions of Section 3(b) shall be applicable, unless Seller, within two (2) business days of receipt of Buyer’s disapproval notice, elects to cure such disapproved items on or before the Close of Escrow, in which event such items shall not be deemed Permitted Exceptions, and this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect. In connection with this condition precedent, Seller shall have the following obligations: (A) to cause Title Company to deliver the Title Report to Buyer within five (5) days following the Opening of Escrow if it has not already done so; (B) to cause all mortgages, deeds of trust and liens for delinquent real property taxes (but excluding any future installments due on any improvement assessment liens, Xxxxx Xxxx bond payments or similar assessments) affecting the Property shown in the Title Report to be paid, discharged or otherwise removed from the Title Report by the Title Company at or before the Close of Escrow; and (C) to deliver all documents required under Sections 3(a)(ii) and 5(c)(ix) below.
(ii) The Title Company’s commitment at the Close of Escrow to issue as of the Close of Escrow an owner’s extended coverage title insurance policy covering the Real Property in the amount of the Purchase Price insuring that fee simple title to the Real Property is vested in Buyer subject only to the Permitted Exceptions (“Title Policy”) is a condition precedent to Buyer’s obligation to Close. Buyer and Seller each agree to deliver to Title Company such proof of their respective authority and authorization to enter into this Agreement and consummate the transactions contemplated hereby as may be reasonably required by the other party or Title Company. Seller shall be responsible for the costs of the endorsements to the Title Policy to satisfy those exceptions disapproved by Buyer which Seller has agreed in writing to cure by endorsement, and which cure Buyer has agreed in writing to accept. Buyer may elect to obtain extended owner’s coverage, provided the Close of Escrow is not delayed thereby. Buyer shall pay for the cost of such extended owner’s coverage over the cost of a standard coverage owner’s policy, the costs of any survey that the Title Company requires for issuance of such extended coverage owner’s policy, and for the costs of any other increase in the amount or scope of title insurance if requested by Buyer. Buyer may request that the Title Company provide, at Buyer’s sole expense, such endorsements to the Title Policy as Buyer may reasonably require, provided that (a) such endorsements shall be at no cost or additional liability to Seller, (b) Buyer’s obligations under this Agreement shall not be conditioned upon Buyer’s ability to obtain such endorsements and, if Buyer is unable to obtain such endorsements, Buyer shall nevertheless be obligated to proceed to close the transaction contemplated by this Agreement without reduction of or set-off against the Purchase Price, and (c) the Close of Escrow shall not be delayed as a result of Buyer’s request. Buyer may obtain, at Buyer’s sole expense, and submit to Seller and Title Company a current survey of the Real Property prepared by a California licensed land surveyor selected by Buyer (the “Buyer’s Survey”). The issuance of the Title Company’s commitment to issue the Title Policy following the Close of Escrow shall be a condition to both parties’ obligations under this Agreement.

(b) Any party entitled to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 3(a) must exercise its right to terminate this Agreement and the escrow provided for below by delivering written notice to the other party and Escrow Holder. Upon termination of this Agreement and escrow in accordance with this Section 3:

(ii) all funds and documents shall be returned to the party who deposited same, even if funds have been released from escrow, except that Buyer shall not be entitled to the return of funds to which it is otherwise entitled unless and until Buyer has complied with Section 3(b)(i); and
(iii) the respective obligations of Buyer and Seller under this Agreement shall terminate; provided, however, notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer’s and Seller’s indemnity, confidentiality and other obligations under this Agreement that by their nature extend after termination of this Agreement shall survive any such termination of the Agreement, and the termination of this Agreement shall not release any other indemnity obligation Buyer or Seller may have to the other party.
4. Due Diligence Period.
(a) The period ending at 5:00 p.m. Pacific Time on September 22, 2014, or such earlier time as Buyer gives written notice to Seller of its decision to proceed with the purchase of the Property is hereafter called the “Due Diligence Period”.

4
Hundred Dollars ($100.00) (“Independent Consideration”) shall be withheld from the Deposit and delivered to Seller.

(m) Seller is neither (i) a party in interest with respect to any employee benefit or other plan within the meaning of Section 3(3) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”); nor (ii) a disqualified person under Section 4975(e)(l) of the Code with respect to any such employee benefit or other plan under Section 4975 of the Code. Seller does not hold its interest in the Property with assets of an employee benefit plan within the meaning of 3(3) of ERISA or a plan within the meaning of Section 4975(e)(l) of the Code. Without limiting the foregoing, Seller acknowledges that ERISA prohibits the sale or exchange, directly or indirectly, of any property between a pension plan and a “party-in-interest” or a “disqualified person” as to that plan, as such terms are defined in ERISA and the Code, respectively, and that an individual or organization selling or exchanging property to a pension plan as to which it is a disqualified person is subject to an excise tax under Section 4975 of the Code.
(n) Buyer and Seller agree that (i) the only representations and warranties made by Seller with respect to the Property are contained in this Section 7; and (ii) for purposes of this Section 7, Seller’s “knowledge” shall mean the actual, current knowledge of G.A. Ranglas and Xxxxx Xxxx, Seller’s management company’s supervisor of the management of the Property and shall not include constructive knowledge, knowledge Seller could have obtained through further investigation or inquiry, or knowledge solely possessed by any manager or employee who lived or lives on-site at the Project. No broker, agent, or party other than Seller is authorized to make any representation or warranty for or on behalf of Seller.
(o) All warranties and representations set forth in this Section 7 shall be true as of the date of this Agreement and the Closing Date except as provided in this Section. If Seller obtains knowledge that any material representation or warranty of Seller is incorrect after the date hereof and before the Close of Escrow, Seller shall disclose such incorrectness in writing to Buyer promptly after Seller learns of the incorrectness and before the Close of Escrow. If Seller gives written notice to Buyer of any material incorrectness in its representations and warranties prior to the Closing and does not agree in such notice to cure such incorrectness on or before the Closing, Buyer shall have the right to give notice to Seller and Escrow Holder terminating this Agreement within a period ending on the Closing Date or on five (5) days after Buyer receives any notice from Seller of the incorrectness of any material representation or warranty that does not contain a commitment by Seller to cure such incorrectness on or before the Closing Date, whichever is earlier. If Buyer timely gives notice of disapproval of the material incorrectness, then either Buyer or Seller may terminate this Agreement by giving written notice to the other and to the Escrow Holder, and the parties shall have the same obligations and such termination shall have the same effect as if this Agreement had been terminated pursuant to Section 3(b).
(p) The representations and warranties set forth in this Section 7 shall not be deemed to be merged into or waived by the instruments of Closing, but shall survive the Closing for a period of six (6) months from the Closing (“Survival Period”). Buyer shall have the right to bring an action against Seller for the breach of a representation or warranty hereunder, but only on the following conditions: (i) Buyer first learns of the breach after Closing and files such action within the Survival Period; and (ii) Buyer shall not have the right to bring a cause of action for a breach of a representation or warranty unless the damage to such party on account of such breach (individually or when combined with damages from other breaches) equal or exceeds Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000.00). Neither party shall have any liability after Closing
13
for the breach of a representation or warranty hereunder of which the other party hereto had knowledge as of Closing. Furthermore, Buyer agrees that the post-Closing maximum liability of Seller for the alleged breach of any or all representations or warranties set forth in this Agreement is limited to Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000.00). Seller covenants that it will retain and will not distribute Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000.00) of the net proceeds of the sale of the Property until after the end of the Survival Period. The provisions of this Section 7 shall survive the Closing.
8. Buyer’s Representations and Warranties. As a material consideration for Seller’s entering into this Agreement, Buyer represents and warrants to Seller that as of the date of this Agreement and as of the “Closing Date”:
(a) Buyer is a limited liability company duly organized and existing in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware. Buyer has and will have at the Close of Escrow full power and authority to enter into this Agreement and to carry out its obligations hereunder.
(b) The parties executing this Agreement and any documents in connection with this Agreement on behalf of Buyer are and will be duly authorized to do so. This Agreement constitutes the binding obligation of Buyer and is enforceable against Buyer in accordance with its terms.
(c) Buyer is not and will not be a person or entity described by Section 1 of the Executive Order (No. 13, 224) Blocking Property and Prohibiting Transactions With Persons Who Commit, Threaten to Commit, or Support Terrorism, 66 Fed.Reg. 49,079 (September 24, 2001), and does not engage in any dealings or transactions, and is not otherwise associated, with any such persons or entities.
9. Seller’s Obligations Prior to the Close of Escrow.
(a) From the date of this Agreement until the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, Seller not renew, amend or modify any existing Lease in any material respect, except as may be permitted or required pursuant to the existing Leases, without Buyer’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. After expiration of the Due Diligence Period and prior to the Close of Escrow, Seller shall neither execute any new Lease, nor terminate, renew, amend or modify any existing Lease in any material respect without Buyer’s prior written consent which consent shall be in Seller’s sole discretion. Subject to the foregoing, Seller shall make its usual efforts to seek tenants for all spaces that are or will become vacant prior to the end of the month following the Close of Escrow.
(b) The existing insurance policies covering the Property, or equivalent coverage, shall remain continuously in force through the Closing Date.
(c) At all times prior to the Close of Escrow, Seller shall operate and manage the Property as presently being operated, maintain services which are equivalent to those presently in force, maintain the Property in good repair and working order, subject to ordinary
14
wear and tear and the occurrence of any damage or destruction to the Property by casualty or other causes or events beyond the control of Seller. Seller shall keep on hand sufficient materials, supplies, equipment and other personal property sufficient for the operation and management of the Property as presently being operated. Seller shall have no obligation to undertake any capital improvements to the Property following the date of this Agreement, except as may be required pursuant to an existing Lease.
(d) Seller agrees that, after the date of this Agreement, it will not transfer, encumber or affirmatively take any other action with respect to the Property, or any portion thereof, which would render Seller unable to convey the Property to Buyer pursuant to this Agreement.
(e) After the date of this Agreement, Seller shall not enter into any Property Contract which will survive the Close of Escrow without first obtaining Buyer’s written approval which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed if such Property Contract is necessary to enable Seller to perform its obligations to operate and manage the Property in the manner provided in this Section 9.
(f) Within three (3) business days after the date of this Agreement, Seller shall complete and deliver to Buyer the “Know Your Customer” form attached hereto as Exhibit “M”.
10. Buyer’s Acknowledgments, Release and Indemnity.
(a) Buyer acknowledges and agrees that Buyer is purchasing the Property “AS IS” and “WHERE IS” solely in reliance on Buyer’s own investigation, and, except for Seller’s representations and warranties in Section 7, no representations or warranties of any kind whatsoever, express or implied, have been made by Seller or any of its officers, agents or employees with respect to any matter, fact or issue concerning the Property or this transaction, including, but not limited to, the following matters:
(i) Soils, seismic, hydrological, geological and topographical conditions and configurations, including but not limited to geologic faults, past soil repairs, or the presence of soil fill;

15
(vi) The area of the land and the square footage contained in any buildings or improvements;
(vii) Availability of adequate utilities, water, schools, public access, and fire and police protection;
(viii) The status and nature of any assessment districts and the amount of any assessment liability;
(ix) Present, past or future conformity of the Property with planning, zoning, subdivision, development and environmental statutes, ordinances, regulations and permits, any general plan and specific plan, applicable building codes, and any other applicable laws, regulations, ordinances, codes or rules, including but not limited to the Americans with Disabilities Act;
(x) The possibility for change in use or future development of the Property and the character and amount of any fee or charge which must be paid by Buyer to develop the Property;
(xi) The condition of title to the Property, including but not limited to the existence of any easement, covenants or conditions, deed restrictions, license or encroachment whether or not a matter of public record, and whether or not visible upon inspection of the Property;
(xii) The enforceability of any Lease, the credit worthiness of any tenant or the likelihood that any tenant will perform its obligations under any Lease, or except as set out in the Rent Roll and Leases delivered to Buyer, the terms or status of any Lease; or
(xiii) Any other matter relating to the Property or to the development of the Property, including, but not limited to, value, income, expenses, feasibility, cost, governmental permissions or entitlements, legal or physical suitability as a condominium project or further subdivision, investment return, accuracy or completeness of any documents or information supplied by Seller to Buyer during or after the Due Diligence Period, or the merchantability or fitness of the Property for any purpose.
(b) Except as set forth in Section 10(c) below, to the extent that Buyer proves it has been damaged by a breach of any representation or warranty made by Seller in this Agreement, Buyer fully releases and discharges Seller from and relinquishes all rights, claims and actions that Buyer may have against Seller which arise out of or are in any way connected with the physical condition of the Property at Closing or any of the matters described in Sections 4(a) or 10(a), including but not limited to the existence or presence on the Property of (i) construction, design or natural defects of any kind or nature, whether patent or latent, and whether or not cause by Seller’s negligence, (ii) Hazardous Materials, or (iii) violations of any federal, state or local law or regulation applicable to the physical condition of the Property,
16
including but not limited to (A) any building code, (B) any law or regulation concerning Hazardous Materials and (C) the Americans With Disabilities Act (Public Law 101-336). This release applies to all described rights, claims and actions, whether known or unknown, foreseen or unforeseen, present or future. Buyer specifically waives application of California Civil Code Section 1542, which provides as follows:
A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him or her must have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor.
| Buyer’s Initials | PM |
(c) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary (including the foregoing release), (i) Buyer shall have the right to defend (but Buyer has no right to assert, file or otherwise proceed with a contribution, indemnity or other claim against Seller) government and third-party claims by alleging that Seller (or someone acting on Seller’s behalf), not Buyer, is liable for such claims and Buyer has no obligation to indemnify Seller for governmental or third party claims asserted before or after the Closing as a result of any act or omission taken or failed to be taken by or on Seller’s behalf prior to the Closing, and (ii) the release shall not apply to third-party tort claims relating to events or occurrences on the Property and occurring during Seller’s ownership of the Property.
(d) For purposes of Sections 10(b) all references to “Buyer” or “Seller” shall include (1) their parents, subsidiary or affiliate entities, (2) their partners, managers, directors, officers, members, shareholders, employees and agents and (3) their heirs, successors, personal representatives and assigns and those of their partners, managers, directors, officers, members, shareholders, employees and agents.
11. Default and Remedies.
(a) IF THE SALE OF THE PROPERTY TO BUYER IS NOT CONSUMMATED SOLELY DUE TO BUYER’S BREACH UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, THEN SELLER MAY TERMINATE THIS AGREEMENT BY GIVING WRITTEN NOTICE THEREOF TO BUYER AND ESCROW HOLDER, WHEREUPON THE DEPOSIT (INCLUDING THE ADDITIONAL DEPOSIT, IF ANY, AND LESS SELLER’S SHARE OF ANY ESCROW FEES AND CHARGES) SHALL BE PAID BY ESCROW HOLDER TO SELLER AND RETAINED BY SELLER AS LIQUIDATED DAMAGES AS SELLER’S SOLE REMEDY FOR BUYER’S FAILURE TO COMPLETE THE PURCHASE. NOTHING IN THIS SECTION OR ELSEWHERE IN THIS AGREEMENT SHALL LIMIT SELLER’S RIGHTS TO (i) RECEIVE REIMBURSEMENT FOR PREVAILING PARTY ATTORNEYS’ FEES PURSUANT TO SECTION 2, OR (ii) BUYER’S INDEMNITY OBLIGATIONS UNDER OTHER PARTS OF THIS AGREEMENT. THE PARTIES HERETO ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT SELLER’S ACTUAL DAMAGES IN THE EVENT OF BUYER’S BREACH HEREUNDER ARE UNCERTAIN IN AMOUNT AND DIFFICULT TO ASCERTAIN, AND THAT SUCH AMOUNT OF LIQUIDATED DAMAGES IS REASONABLE UNDER THE
17
PROVISIONS OF CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE SECTION 1671 ET SEQ., CONSIDERING ALL OF THE CIRCUMSTANCES EXISTING ON THE DATE HEREOF INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE RELATIONSHIP OF SUCH AMOUNT TO THE RANGE OF POTENTIAL HARM TO SELLER THAT CAN REASONABLY BE ANTICIPATED AND THE ANTICIPATION THAT PROOF OF ACTUAL DAMAGES RESULTING FROM SUCH BREACH WOULD BE COSTLY AND INCONVENIENT. IN PLACING ITS INITIALS IN THE SPACE BELOW, EACH PARTY HERETO SPECIFICALLY CONFIRMS THE ACCURACY OF THE FOREGOING AND THE FACT THAT SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN REPRESENTED BY COUNSEL WHO EXPLAINED THE CONSEQUENCES OF THIS LIQUIDATED DAMAGES PROVISION.

(b) If Seller intentionally or willfully fails to perform its obligations pursuant to this Agreement for any reason except for failure by Buyer to perform hereunder, or if prior to Closing any one or more of Seller’s representations or warranties are breached in any material respect and Seller has not cured such breach by the Closing, Buyer shall elect, as its sole remedy, one of the following three options: (i) terminate this Agreement by giving Seller timely written notice of such election prior to or at Closing and recover the Deposit and its out-of-pocket costs resulting from Seller’s failure to perform, but in no event to exceed $75,000.00 in the aggregate of out-of-pocket costs; (ii) enforce specific performance of Seller’s obligations hereunder; or (iii) waive said failure or breach and proceed to Closing. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Buyer shall be deemed to have elected to terminate this Agreement and recover the Deposit if Buyer fails to deliver to Seller written notice of its intent to file a claim for out-of-pocket costs and the Deposit or assert a cause of action for specific performance against Seller on or before fifteen (15) business days following the scheduled Closing Date or, having given such notice, fails to file a lawsuit asserting such claim or cause of action in the county in which the Property is located within sixty (60) days following the scheduled Closing Date. IN NO EVENT SHALL SELLER’S DIRECT OR INDIRECT PARTNERS, MEMBERS, SHAREHOLDERS, OWNERS OR AFFILIATES, ANY OFFICER, DIRECTOR, MANAGER, EMPLOYEE OR AGENT OF THE FOREGOING, OR ANY AFFILIATE OR CONTROLLING PERSON THEREOF HAVE ANY LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM, CAUSE OF ACTION OR OTHER LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE PROPERTY, WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, COMMON LAW, STATUTE, EQUITY OR OTHERWISE.
(c) If this Agreement is terminated due to the breach of a party, then the breaching party shall pay any cancellation or other fees or charges due to Escrow Holder and any fees or charges due to the Title Company for preparation and/or cancellation of the Title Report.
(d) Each party shall have three (3) days after delivery of written notice of default from the other party within which to cure any default under this Agreement; provided, however, if the default is the intentional failure to make a closing delivery pursuant to Section 5(c) or 5(d) or other intentional failure to close this escrow when obligated, there shall be no cure period and the failure shall constitute a breach. A default notice shall describe the nature of the
18
default in reasonable detail so that the defaulting party is notified of the steps and actions it must effect to cure the default, and in the case of a default other than a failure to close this escrow when obligated, if the default cannot reasonably be cured within ten (10) days, the party shall have such longer period as may be necessary to cure, so long as the party commences to cure within the 10-day period and diligently pursues the cure to completion. If the party fails to cure the default within the applicable cure period, the party shall be in breach. If Buyer’s breach is the failure to close this escrow when obligated, then Seller’s sole remedy shall be to retain the Deposit as liquidated damages pursuant to Section 11(a).
12. Loss by Fire, Other Casualty or Condemnation.
(a) If prior to the Closing, any material portion of the Property (as defined in Section 12(d)) is destroyed or materially damaged or is subject to a taking or threatened taking by any public authority, then Buyer shall have the right, exercisable by giving notice to Seller within fifteen (15) days after receiving written notice of such damage, destruction, or taking either (i) to terminate this Agreement, in which case neither party shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder except that (x) any money (including, without limitation, the Deposit and all interest accrued thereon) or documents in escrow shall be returned to the party depositing the same, and (y) Buyer and Seller each shall be responsible for one-half of any title or escrow cancellation fee, or (ii) to accept the Property in its then condition and to proceed with the Closing without abatement or reduction in the Purchase Price.
(b) If prior to the Closing, there is any non-material damage to the Property, or any part thereof, Buyer shall accept the Property in its then condition and proceed with the Closing without any abatement or reduction in the Purchase Price.
(c) If prior to the Closing, any nonmaterial portion of the Property is subject to a taking or a threatened taking by public authority, Buyer shall accept the Property in its then condition and proceed with the Closing without any abatement or reduction in the Purchase Price, in which case Buyer shall be entitled to receive an assignment of all of Seller’s rights to any condemnation award payable by reason of such taking. In the event of any such non-material taking, Seller shall not compromise, settle or adjust any claims to such award without Buyer’s prior written consent.
(d) For the purpose of this Section l2, damage to the Property or a taking of a portion thereof shall be deemed to involve a material portion thereof if the reasonably estimated cost of restoration or repair of such damage or the amount of the condemnation award with respect to such taking shall exceed One Hundred Seventy-five Thousand Dollars ($175,000.00), or in the event of a taking any parking at the Project or access to the Project is permanently affected.
(e) Seller agrees to give Buyer written notice of any taking, threatened taking, damage or destruction of the Property, promptly after learning of the same.
19
13. Broker’s Commissions. Each Party warrants to the other that the warranting Party has incurred no obligation by reason of this Agreement or the transaction contemplated by this Agreement, for a real estate brokerage commission or finder’s fee for which the other Party would be liable. Each Party will indemnify, defend, protect and hold the other Party harmless from and against any and all liabilities, damages costs (including attorneys’ fees and costs) or expenses the other Party incurs by reason of the untruth as to the warranting Party of the foregoing warranty.
14. Time is of the Essence. Time is of the essence of each of the provisions of this Agreement.
15. Assignment. Except as provided in Section 23, neither this Agreement nor any interest hereunder shall be assigned or transferred by Buyer without the prior written consent of Seller; provided, however, Buyer may assign or otherwise transfer its interest under this Agreement to an entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with Buyer; and provided further, any assignment by Buyer must be completed not less than three (3) business days before the Closing Date. In connection with any such assignment, the assignee shall assume the assignor’s obligations hereunder, but the assignor shall nevertheless remain liable therefor. As used in this Agreement, the term “Buyer” shall be deemed to include any permitted assignee of the initial Buyer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer reserves the right to take title to the Property in the name of an assignee, or in the name of one or more of the institutional investors for which Buyer or one of its affiliates is then acting as investment manager (a “Separate Account’’) or an assignee of a Separate Account. In the event the rights and obligations of Buyer hereunder shall be assigned by Buyer to a Separate Account, the assignor shall be released from any obligation or liability hereunder, other than its indemnity contained in the Access License, and such Separate Account shall be substituted as Buyer hereunder, shall be entitled to the benefit of and may enforce Seller’s covenants, representations and warranties hereunder as if such Separate Account were the original Buyer hereunder, and shall assume all obligations and liabilities of Buyer hereunder, subject to any limitations of such liabilities and obligations hereunder or provided by law. Upon notification to Seller of any such assignment, Seller’s representations and warranties hereunder shall be deemed remade to the Separate Account, and Buyer’s representations and warranties hereunder shall be deemed made by the Separate Account.
16. Successors in Interest. Subject to Section 15, this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors, personal representatives, heirs and assigns of the parties hereto. Except as provided in this Section, this Agreement is not intended to benefit or be enforceable by any person or entity other than the parties signing this Agreement.
17. Further Assurances. Prior to and for a period of one hundred eighty (180) days following the Close of Escrow, each party agrees to execute any document reasonably required by the other party to carry out the terms of this Agreement so long as the party whose execution is requested is not required to bear any liability or expense that such party is not already required to bear by the provisions of this Agreement.
18. Time Periods. Unless “business day” is specified, the term “day” means a calendar day. The term “business day” means any day other than a Saturday, Sunday or federal or State of California holiday. The computation of any time period for performing any act under
20
this Agreement shall exclude the first day and include the last day unless the last day for any act falls on a Saturday, Sunday or holiday, in which case the time for performance shall be extended to the next business day.
19. Notices. Any notice, request, demand, instruction or other communication to be given to either party hereunder shall be in writing and shall be delivered personally, transmitted by electronic mail, sent by overnight courier, or sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, to the parties at the following electronic mail addresses:

or such other addresses, phone numbers, or email addresses as the parties may from time to time specify by a notice sent in the same manner as set forth above. All notices shall be deemed given, delivered and received on the date personally delivered or upon electronic confirmation of receipt if transmitted by electronic mail (with a manually signed copy sent by regular U.S. mail on the same or next day), upon receipt as evidenced by a delivery slip if sent by overnight courier, or upon receipt as evidenced by the signed receipt deposited into the United States registered or certified mail.
20. Confidentiality. Except as permitted by Section 4(g), unless otherwise required by law, prior to the Close of Escrow Buyer shall keep confidential any information obtained from Seller or as a result of its inspections or due diligence reviews regarding the Property and shall not disclose the any such information to any person or entity, including any governmental agency, except for any proposed lender, inspector or partner, or any attorney, inspector, contractor or professional consultant assisting Buyer in its due diligence after informing the proposed recipient of the obligation to maintain such information as confidential. Buyer’s obligations under this Section shall cease if and when it purchases the Property to the extent necessary or appropriate in connection with the ownership or operation of the Project.
21. Entire Agreement, Changes, Waivers. This Agreement contains the final, complete and exclusive statement of all of the agreements of the parties in any way concerning the Property, including but not limited to any subject dealt with in this Agreement, and no prior representation, condition, agreement or understanding concerning the Property including but not limited to any letter of intent, shall be effective for any purpose. No provision of this Agreement may be changed or supplemented except by an agreement in writing signed by the parties hereto or their respective successors in interest. No provision of this Agreement may be waived unless such waiver is in writing and signed by the party charged with the waiver.
22. Interpretation. The language in all parts of this Agreement shall be construed under the laws of the State of California without regard to conflicts of law principles according to its normal and usual meaning, and not strictly for or against either Buyer or Seller. Each party acknowledges that it has consulted fully with legal counsel about the meaning and effect of this Agreement. Headings at the beginning of each numbered Section of this Agreement are solely for the convenience of the parties and are not a part of this Agreement. If any arbitrator or court of competent jurisdiction determines any provision of this Agreement or any of the documents to be delivered hereunder to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, that portion shall be severed from the rest, which shall remain in full force and effect as though the invalid, illegal, or unenforceable portion had never been a part of this Agreement or such documents.
23. Tax Free Exchange. Notwithstanding any terms in this Agreement to the contrary, Seller and Buyer shall have the right to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in a manner which qualifies as a tax-deferred exchange, in whole or in part, under the provisions of Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code, and the Treasury Regulations thereunder. Seller and Buyer agree to cooperate with each other with respect to any tax-deferred exchange pursuant to the provisions of Section 1031 of the Code and the Treasury
22
Regulations thereunder and to execute any and all documents reasonably requested in connection therewith. Without limiting the foregoing, Seller and Buyer shall have the right to (i) transfer interests in the Property or this Agreement to one or more of its direct or indirect members or partners, (ii) transfer all or any portion of Seller’s and Buyer’s (or its transferee’s) interests under this Agreement to a qualified intermediary (“Intermediary”) in accordance with the provisions of Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder (and, as a result of the transfer, the Intermediary will acquire an equitable interest in the title to the Property) provided that Seller and Buyer shall simultaneously with such transfer confirm their respective continued obligations to one another under this Agreement and (iii) cause all or any portion of the Purchase Price to be transferred to a qualified escrow or qualified trust in accordance with the provisions of Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder. Any such exchange shall be accomplished by supplemental instructions reasonably acceptable to both patties (“Exchange Instructions”), including any exchange documents and instructions with the qualified intermediary. The non-exchanging party shall execute and deliver to the exchanging party or Escrow Holder any and all of the Exchange Instructions provided to the non-exchanging party by the exchanging party within three (3) business days after the receipt of such Exchange Instructions. Each party shall bear its own costs and expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and costs) incurred in connection with the preparation and review of the Exchange Instructions. However, neither party shall be obligated to acquire title to any other real property, or be required to incur any additional liability or financial obligation as a consequence of the other party’s contemplated exchange. Buyer and Seller agree that the consummation of this Agreement is not predicated or conditioned upon the completion of any such exchange and the Close of Escrow shall not be delayed as a result thereof.
24. No Reservation of Property. The preparation and/or delivery of unsigned drafts of this Agreement shall not constitute the representation of any intention to enter into a sale or purchase of the Property nor create any legally binding rights in the Property and/or obligations of the parties, and Buyer and Seller acknowledge that this Agreement shall be of no effect until it is duly executed by both Buyer and Seller. Buyer understand and agrees that Seller shall have the right to continue to market the Property and/or to negotiate with other potential purchasers of the Property until the expiration of the Due Diligence Period and the satisfaction or waiver in writing of all conditions to the obligations of Buyer under this Agreement required at that time.
25. Natural Hazard Areas or Zones. Buyer and Seller acknowledge that Seller may be required to disclose if the Property lies within the following natural hazard areas or zones: (i) a special flood hazard area designated by the Federal Emergency Management Agency; (ii) an area of potential flooding; (iii) a very high fire hazard severity zone; (iv) a wild land area that may contain substantial forest fire risks and hazards; (v) earthquake fault zone; or (vi) a seismic hazard zone (sometimes all of the preceding are herein collectively called the “Natural Hazard Matters”). Seller will engage through Escrow Holder the services of an organization satisfactory to Seller and Escrow Holder (which, in such capacity, is herein called the “Natural Hazard Expert”) to examine maps and other information specifically made available to the public by government agencies for the purposes of enabling Seller to fulfill its disclosure obligations, if and to the extent such obligations exist, with respect to the natural hazards referred to in California Civil Code Section 1103, et seq. and to report the result of its examination to Buyer
23
and Seller in writing, which report shall be delivered to Buyer. The written report prepared by the Natural Hazard Expert regarding the results of its full examination will fully and completely discharge Seller from its disclosure obligations referred to herein, if and to the extent any such obligations exist, and, for the purpose of this Agreement, the provisions of Civil Code Section 1103 et seq. regarding non-liability of Seller for errors or omissions not within its personal knowledge shall be deemed to apply and the Natural Hazard Expert shall be deemed to be an expert, dealing with matters within the scope of its expertise with respect to the examination and written report regarding the natural hazards referred to above. Buyer acknowledges that the Real Property may be within a special study zone as designated under the Xxxxxxx-Xxxxxx-Geologic Hazard Act (Section 2621 et seq. of California Public Resources Code); if the real property is so located, construction or development on the real property of any structures intended for human occupancy may be subject to the findings of a geological report prepared by a geologist registered in the State of California. Buyer expressly assumes such risk and releases Seller and its subsidiaries, affiliates, partners and/or constituent entities, and each of their respective employees, shareholders, officers and directors from any and all liabilities, losses, injuries and damages which will or may be sustained by Buyer as a consequence of the Property being within any such special study zone.
26. Counterparts. This Agreement and the Escrow Instructions herein referred to, and any amendments or supplements to either document, may be executed in counterparts, and all executed counterparts together shall be treated as one original document.
27. REIT Provisions. Seller acknowledges that Buyer’s assignee may be a subsidiary of a publicly registered real estate investment trust, and as such is required to adhere to certain filing requirements mandated by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), including without limitation completion of an audit of the Property’s historical operations pursuant to Rule 3-14 of the SEC regulations. Upon Buyer’s written request, Seller shall: (i) use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with Buyer, and (ii) prior to Closing, use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the cooperation of Tenant, in fulfilling these mandated filing requirements as they relate to this Agreement and the transaction contemplated hereunder, provided such cooperation shall not cause Seller to incur any cost or expense. Buyer shall require cooperation from Seller and Tenant as it relates to SEC Compliance, which includes, but is not limited to:
a. As a part of the 3-14 audit and SEC filing, Seller or Tenant may be required to sign an Audit Representation Letter in favor of Buyer’s auditor for the most recently completed calendar year and a portion of the current year.

Tenant may be required to request the cooperation of its independent certified public accountant in any required filings with the SEC by the Buyer, and that such independent certified public accountant consent to (a) the inclusion of its report in such filing, including any registration statement, and to the incorporation by reference of such report into any registration statements of the Buyer or Assignee filed with the SEC, and (b) to be named as an expert in such registration statement in accounting and auditing;
d.

f. Seller shall provide reasonable access to its books and record with respect to the Property to Buyer and its auditors for a period of ninety (90) days after Closing.
g. The provisions of this Section 27 shall survive the Closing for six (6) months.
28. Audit Letter. Pursuant to Section 27 above, an assignee of Buyer may include a publicly registered real estate investment trust, and therefore Seller further agrees to make its books and records relating to the Property available for inspection and audit by Buyer or its agents and to execute and deliver (at the time of completion of the audit) the audit letter in favor of Buyer’s auditors in the form attached hereto as Exhibit “L” and made a part hereof (the covenants of Seller described by this sentence shall survive the Closing for six (6) months). Buyer may also review and make copies of any of Seller’s files, books and records relating to the Property. Buyer shall be responsible for all out-of-pocket costs associated with this audit. Seller shall reasonably cooperate (at no out of pocket cost to Seller) with Buyer’s auditor in the conduct of such audit. In addition, Seller agrees to provide to Buyer or any affiliate of Buyer, if requested by such auditor, historical financial statements for the Property for the past three (3) years (with the names of parties having an equity interest in Seller redacted), including (without limitation) income and balance sheet data for the Property, whether required before or after Closing, to the extent in Seller’s possession or control. Without limiting the foregoing, (i) Buyer or its designated independent or other auditor may audit Seller’s operating statements of the Property, at Buyer’s expense, and Seller shall provide such documentation as Buyer or its auditor may reasonably request in order to complete such audit, and (ii) Seller shall furnish to Buyer such financial and other information as may be reasonably required by Buyer or any affiliate of Buyer to make any required filings with the SEC or other governmental authority. This Section 28 shall survive the Closing for six (6) months.
29. Attorney’s Fees. If any dispute between the parties results in litigation or arbitration, the prevailing party in any such dispute shall be entitled to recover from the other party all reasonable fees, costs and expenses of enforcing any right of the prevailing party, including but not limited to reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, all of which shall be paid
25
whether or not such action is prosecuted to judgment. Any judgment or order entered in such action shall contain a specific provision providing for the recovery of attorneys’ fees and costs incurred in enforcing such judgment and an award of prejudgment interest from the date of the breach at the maximum rate allowed by law. For purposes of this Agreement, the terms “attorneys’ fees” or “attorneys’ fees and costs” shall mean the fees, costs and expenses of counsel to the parties hereto, which may include, without limitation, printing, photostating, duplicating and other expenses, air freight charges, and fees billed for law clerks, paralegals, and others not admitted to the bar but performing services under the supervision of an attorney, and the fees and costs of expert witnesses, whether or not an expert witness is called to testify. For the purposes of this Section attorneys’ fees shall include, without limitation, fees incurred in the following: (a) post-judgment motions; (b) contempt proceedings; (c) garnishment, levy, and debtor and third party examinations; (d) discovery; and (e) bankruptcy litigation.
30. Estoppels and SNDAs. Buyer’s obligation to proceed to Closing shall be conditioned on the following, provided that Buyer may in its sole discretion elect to waive either or both such conditions:
a. Delivery to Buyer in no event later than five (5) business days prior to Closing, a completed and executed Lease Estoppel Certificate substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit “N” from all of the tenants at the Property, all without any information unacceptable to Buyer. Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such Lease Estoppel Certificate within such period of time, and Seller shall not be in default or breach if a tenant fails to complete or return a Lease Estoppel Certificate, or returns a Lease Estoppel Certificate with information unacceptable to Buyer.
b. Delivery to Buyer in no event later than five (5) business days prior to Closing, a completed and executed Subordination, Non-Disturbance and Attornment Agreement (“SNDA”) substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit “Q” from each tenant at the Property. Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such SNDA within such period of time, and Seller shall not be in default or breach if a tenant fails to complete or return an SNDA or returns an SNDA with information unacceptable to Buyer’s lender.
c. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Seller is unable to obtain and deliver sufficient Lease Estoppel Certificates and the CCR Estoppel Certificate under this Section 30, or if the certificates received contain information or omissions unacceptable to Buyer in its reasonable discretion, then Buyer may, by notice given to Seller before the Closing, elect (i) to waive said conditions and proceed with the Closing, or (ii) to terminate this Agreement and receive a refund of the Deposit.
d. As a courtesy to Buyer, Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a completed and signed CCR Estoppel Certificate substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit “O” from Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxx at least five (5) business days prior to Closing. The parties understand that Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxx is not obligated to sign or return the CCR Estoppel Certificate, and the parties agree that obtaining the CC&R Estoppel Certificate with information acceptable to Buyer (or obtaining the CC&R Estoppel Certificate at all) is not a condition or contingency for Buyer’s benefit. In addition, Seller shall not be in default or breach if Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxx fails to complete or return the CC&R Estoppel Certificate, or returns the CC&R Estoppel Certificate with information unacceptable to Buyer.
26
31. Energy Consumption Data. Seller acknowledges that it is required to disclose certain United States Environmental Protection Agency’s ENERGY STAR® Portfolio Manager benchmarking data and ratings (the “Program Data”) to Buyer not less than 24 hours prior to execution of contract for the sale of non-residential property in excess of 5,000 square feet pursuant to California Public Resources Code §25402.10, and California Code of Regulations, Title 20, Section 1680, as amended or supplemented from time to time (such laws including similar legislation and/or codes, as amended or supplemented from time to time, are collectively referred to herein as the “Program”). Buyer acknowledges that it has received the Program Data from Seller. (R&V is working on the required disclosure and information]
32. Mediation of Disputes. BUYER AND SELLER AGREE TO MEDIATE ANY DISPUTE OR CLAIM BETWEEN THEM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY TRANSACTION RESULTING FROM THIS AGREEMENT BEFORE RESORTING TO ARBITRATION OR COURT ACTION. Mediation is a process in which parties attempt to resolve a dispute by submitting it to an impartial, neutral mediator who is authorized to facilitate the resolution of the dispute but who is not empowered to impose a settlement on the parties. The mediation fee, if any, shall be divided equally among the parties
involved. Before the mediation begins, the parties agree to sign a document limiting the admissibility in arbitration or any civil action of anything said, any admission made, and any document prepared, in the course of the mediation, consistent with EVIDENCE CODE §1152.5. IF ANY PARTY COMMENCES AN ARBITRATION OR COURT ACTION BASED ON A DISPUTE OR CLAIM TO WHICH THIS SECTION APPLIES WITHOUT FIRST ATTEMPTING TO RESOLVE THE MATTER THROUGH MEDIATION, THEN IN THE DISCRETION OF THE ARBITRATOR(S) OR JUDGE, THAT PARTY SHALL NOT BE ENTITLED TO RECOVER ATTORNEY’S FEES EVEN IF THEY WOULD OTHERWISE BE AVAILABLE TO THAT PARTY IN ANY SUCH ARBITRATION OR COURT ACTION. However, the filing of a judicial action to enable the recording of a notice of pending action, for order of attachment, receivership, injunction, or other provisional remedies, shall not in itself constitute a loss of the right to recover attorney’s fees under this provision. The following matters are excluded from the requirement of mediation hereunder: (a) a judicial or non-judicial foreclosure or other action or proceeding to enforce a deed of trust, mortgage, or installment land sale contract as defined in Civil Code §2985, (b) an unlawful detainer action, (c) the filing or enforcement of a mechanic’s lien, (d) the filing of an action for specific performance within the time frames required hereunder, and (e) any matter which is within the jurisdiction of a probate court.
33. Arbitration of Disputes. ANY DISPUTE OR CLAIM IN LAW OR EQUITY BETWEEN BUYER AND SELLER ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY TRANSACTION RESULTING FROM THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING THE SCOPE OF THIS AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE, WHETHER BASED ON STATUTE, TORT, CONTRACT, COMMON LAW OR OTHERWISE, SHALL BE DECIDED BY NEUTRAL, BINDING ARBITRATION AND NOT BY COURT ACTION, EXCEPT AS PROVIDED BY CALIFORNIA LAW FOR JUDICIAL REVIEW OF ARBITRATION PROCEEDINGS.
27
THE ARBITRATION SHALL BE CONDUCTED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE COMMERCIAL ARBITRATION RULES OF THE AMERICAN ARBITRATION ASSOCIATION (AAA). THE PARTIES TO AN ARBITRATION MAY AGREE IN WRITING TO USE DIFFERENT RULES AND/OR ARBITRATOR(S). IN ALL OTHER RESPECTS, THE ARBITRATION SHALL BE CONDUCTED IN ACCORDANCE WITH PART III, TITLE 9 OF THE CALIFORNIA CODE OF CIVIL PROCEDURE. JUDGMENT UPON THE AWARD RENDERED BY THE ARBITRATOR(S) MAY BE ENTERED IN ANY COURT HAVING JURISDICTION THEREOF. THE PARTIES SHALL HAVE THE RIGHT TO DISCOVERY IN ACCORDANCE WITH CODE OF CIVIL PROCEDURE §1283.05, AND EACH PARTY SHALL ALSO HAVE THE RIGHT TO TAKE THE DEPOSITION OF THE OTHER PARTY FOR DISCOVERY PURPOSES AND COMPEL PRODUCTION OF RELEVANT, NON-PRIVILEGED DOCUMENTS BY SERVING NOTICE TO PRODUCE DOCUMENTS WITHOUT OBTAINING THE PERMISSION OF THE ARBITRATOR(S). THE FOLLOWING MATTERS ARE EXCLUDED FROM ARBITRATION HEREUNDER: (A) A JUDICIAL OR NON-JUDICIAL FORECLOSURE OR OTHER ACTION OR PROCEEDING TO ENFORCE A DEED OF TRUST, MORTGAGE, OR INSTALLMENT LAND SALE CONTRACT AS DEFINED IN CIVIL CODE §2985, (B) AN UNLAWFUL DETAINER ACTION, (C) THE FILING OR ENFORCEMENT OF A MECHANIC’S LIEN, (D) ANY MATTER WHICH IS WITHIN THE JURISDICTION OF A PROBATE OR SMALL CLAIMS COURT, (E) THE FILING OF AN ACTION FOR SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE WITHIN THE TIME FRAMES HEREUNDER, AND (F) AN ACTION FOR BODILY INJURY OR WRONGFUL DEATH, OR FOR LATENT OR PATENT DEFECTS, TO WHICH CODE OF CIVIL PROCEDURE §337.1 OR §337.15 APPLIES. THE FILING OF A JUDICIAL ACTION TO ENABLE THE RECORDING OF A NOTICE OF PENDING ACTION, FOR ORDER OF ATTACHMENT, RECEIVERSHIP, INJUNCTION, OR OTHER PROVISIONAL REMEDIES SHALL NOT CONSTITUTE A WAIVER OF THE RIGHT TO ARBITRATE UNDER THIS PROVISION. A MOTION TO EXPUNGE ANY NOTICE OF PENDING ACTION OR TO OPPOSE ANY APPLICATION OR MOTION FOR ANY PROVISIONAL REMEDY SHALL NOT BE SUBJECT TO ARBITRATION UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, AND THE COURT SHALL HAVE THE JURISDICTION TO CONSIDER ALL ISSUES NECESSARY TO THE DETERMINATION OF SUCH MATTERS.
“NOTICE: BY INITIALING IN THE SPACE BELOW YOU ARE AGREEING TO HAVE ANY DISPUTE ARISING OUT OF THE MATTERS INCLUDED IN THE ‘ARBITRATION’ OF DISPUTES PROVISION DECIDED BY NEUTRAL ARBITRATION AS PROVIDED BY CALIFORNIA LAW AND YOU ARE GIVING UP ANY RIGHTS YOU MIGHT POSSESS TO HAVE THE DISPUTE LITIGATED IN A COURT OR JURY TRIAL.

RPT Terra Nova Plaza, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company has acquired fee title to the Property, currently holds the interest of “Landlord” pursuant to the Lease, and is referred to in this Agreement as the “Landlord”.
B. This Agreement is being entered into in connection with a mortgage loan (the “Loan”) being made by Agent and certain other lenders to Landlord, to be secured by, among other things, a first mortgage or deed of trust on the Property (the “Mortgage”) to be recorded with the registry or clerk of the county in which the Property is located.
C. Tenant acknowledges that Agent will rely on this Agreement in making the Loan to Landlord.
AGREEMENT
For mutual consideration, including the mutual covenants and agreements set forth below, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1. Tenant agrees that the Lease is and shall be subject and subordinate to the Mortgage and to all present or future advances under the obligations secured thereby and all renewals, amendments, modifications, consolidations, replacements and extensions of the secured obligations and the Mortgage, to the full extent of all amounts secured by the Mortgage from time to time. Said subordination is to have the same force and effect as if the Mortgage and such renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements and extensions thereof had been executed, acknowledged, delivered and recorded prior to the Lease, any amendments or modifications thereof and any notice thereof.
2. Agent agrees that, if the Agent exercises any of its rights under the Mortgage, including an entry by Agent pursuant to the Mortgage or a foreclosure of the Mortgage, Agent shall not disturb Tenant’s right of quiet possession of the Premises under the terms of the Lease so long as Tenant is not in default beyond any applicable grace period of any term, covenant or condition of the Lease.
Exhibit Q-1
3. Tenant agrees that, in the event of a foreclosure of the Mortgage by Agent or the acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure by Agent or any other succession of Agent to fee ownership, Tenant will attorn to and recognize Agent as its landlord under the Lease for the remainder of the term of the Lease (including all extension periods which have been or are hereafter exercised) upon the same terms and conditions as are set forth in the Lease, and Tenant hereby agrees to pay and perform all of the obligations of Tenant pursuant to the Lease.
4. Tenant agrees that, in the event Agent succeeds to the interest of Landlord under the Lease, Agent shall not be:
(a) liable for any act or omission of any prior Landlord (including, without limitation, the then defaulting Landlord), except for defaults related to Landlord’s repair and/or maintenance obligations under the Lease which are continuing at the time Agent succeeds to the interest of Landlord under the Lease, or
(b) subject to any defense or offsets which Tenant may have against any prior Landlord (including, without limitation, the then defaulting Landlord), or
(c) bound by any payment of rent or additional rent which Tenant might have paid for more than one month in advance of the due date under the Lease to any prior Landlord (including, without limitation, the then defaulting Landlord), except to the extent such monies are actually received by Agent, or
(d) bound by any obligation to make any payment to Tenant which was required to be made prior to the time Agent succeeded to any prior Landlord’s interest, or
(e) accountable for any monies deposited with any prior Landlord (including security deposits), except to the extent such monies are actually received by Agent, or
(f) bound by any surrender, termination or material amendment or modification of the Lease made without the consent of Agent to the extent such surrender, termination or material amendment or modification of the Lease was not provided for under the terms of the Lease (i.e. options to extend or terminate).
5. Tenant agrees that, notwithstanding any provision hereof to the contrary, the terms of the Mortgage shall continue to govern with respect to the disposition of any insurance proceeds or eminent domain awards, and any obligations of Landlord to restore the real estate of which the Premises are a part shall, insofar as they apply to Agent, be limited to insurance proceeds or eminent domain awards received by Agent after the deduction of all costs and expenses incurred in obtaining such proceeds or awards.
6. Tenant hereby agrees to give to Agent copies of all written notices of Landlord default(s) under the Lease in the same manner as, and whenever, Tenant shall give any such notice of default to Landlord, and no such notice of default shall be deemed given to Landlord unless and until a copy of such notice shall have been so delivered to Agent. Agent shall have the right to remedy any Landlord default under the Lease, or to cause any default of Landlord under the Lease to be remedied, and for such purpose Tenant hereby grants Agent such additional period of

time as may be reasonable to enable Agent to remedy, or cause to be remedied, any such default in addition to the period given to Landlord for remedying, or causing to be remedied, any such default. Tenant shall accept performance by Agent of any term, covenant, condition or agreement to be performed by Landlord under the Lease with the same force and effect as though performed by Landlord. No Landlord default under the Lease shall exist or shall be deemed to exist (i) as long as Agent, in good faith, shall have commenced to cure such default within the above referenced time period and shall be prosecuting the same to completion with reasonable diligence, subject to force majeure, or (ii) if possession of the Premises is required in order to cure such default, or if such default is not susceptible of being cured by Agent, as long as Agent, in good faith, shall have notified Tenant that Agent intends to institute proceedings under the Mortgage, and, thereafter, as long as such proceedings shall have been instituted and shall be prosecuted with reasonable diligence. In the event of the termination of the Lease by reason of any default thereunder by Landlord, upon Agent’s written request, given within thirty (30) days after any such termination, Tenant, within fifteen (15) days after receipt of such request, shall execute and deliver to Agent or its designee or nominee a new lease of the Premises for the remainder of the term of the Lease upon all of the terms, covenants and conditions of the Lease. Agent shall have the right, without Tenant’s consent, to foreclose the Mortgage or to accept a deed in lieu of foreclosure of the Mortgage or to exercise any other remedies under the Mortgage.
7. Tenant hereby consents to the assignment of leases and rents in the Mortgage from Landlord to Agent in connection with the Loan. Tenant acknowledges that the interest of the Landlord under the Lease is to be assigned to Agent solely as security for the purposes specified in said assignments, and Agent shall have no duty, liability or obligation whatsoever under the Lease or any extension or renewal thereof, either by virtue of said assignments or by any subsequent receipt or collection of rents thereunder, unless Agent shall specifically undertake such liability in writing or unless Agent or its designee or nominee becomes, and then only with respect to periods in which Agent or its designee or nominee becomes, the fee owner of the Premises. Tenant agrees that upon receipt of a written notice from Agent of a default by Landlord under the Loan, Tenant will thereafter, if requested by Agent, pay rent to Agent in accordance with the terms of the Lease.
8. The Lease shall not be assigned by Tenant, modified, amended or terminated (except a termination that is permitted in the Lease without Landlord’s consent) without Agent’s prior written consent in each instance.
9. Any notice, election, communication, request or other document or demand required or permitted under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed delivered on the earlier to occur of (a) receipt or (b) the date of delivery, refusal or nondelivery indicated on the return receipt, if deposited in a United States Postal Service Depository, postage prepaid, sent certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, or if sent via a recognized commercial courier service providing for a receipt, addressed to Tenant or Agent, as the case may be, at the following addresses:
