Unless otherwise agreed by Seller, Buyer shall provide at least forty-eight (48) hours prior written notice of its intention to conduct any inspection so that Seller shall have an opportunity to have a representative present during any such inspection, and Seller expressly reserves the right to have a representative present, it being agreed that Seller’s having a representative present at any such inspection shall not be a prerequisite for Buyer’s inspection of the Property. Notices to Seller for purposes of this clause (b) shall be sent by electronic mail to Xxxxx Xxxxxxx, Xx.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Seller and the Seller Related Entities shall not be entitled to recover from Buyer or any direct or indirect owner or affiliate thereof (and in no event shall any of the foregoing be responsible for) consequential, punitive, special or any other indirect damages arising from this Agreement or Buyer’s obligations under this Agreement.

(e)

Restoration of Property. Buyer shall, at its sole cost and expense, and under Seller’s supervision, promptly restore any physical damage or alteration of the physical condition of the Property which results from any inspections or activities conducted on or about the Property by Buyer and/or Buyer’s Agents (but not from any pre-existing conditions relating to the Property), to substantially the same condition as existed prior to such damage or alteration strictly in accordance with all requirements of applicable law.

Section 9.1.

Title Insurance and Survey. On the Closing Date and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Seller’s fee simple interest in the Property shall be sold and conveyed, and Xxxxx agrees to purchase Seller’s fee simple interest in the Property subject only to the Permitted Exceptions and the provisions of this Article IX.

Section 9.2.

Buyer shall obtain during the Due Diligence Period (i) the Title Commitment from the Title Company, and (ii) the Survey certified by the surveyor to Buyer as having been prepared in accordance with the minimum detail requirements of the ALTA land survey requirements, and (iii) a zoning report for the Property. Buyer shall give notice to Seller on or prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period (the “Initial Title Date”) specifying all title, survey or zoning matters or exceptions to which Buyer is unwilling to accept and which are not Permitted Exceptions (each such exception, a “Title Defect”). In the event the Title Commitment, or Survey or zoning report or update of any of the foregoing is received after the Initial Title Date, Buyer shall give notice to Seller of any Title Defect within three (3) Business Days after the Buyer’s receipt of such information (and in any event, prior to the Closing) (each notice from Buyer under this Section, a “Title Defect Notice”).

Section 9.3.

Certain Exceptions to Title; Inability to Convey.

(a)

If Buyer fails to timely deliver a Title Defect Notice in accordance with Section 9.2, Buyer shall be deemed to have waived such Title Defect and such Title Defect shall be deemed to be a Permitted Exception (provided in no event shall Buyer be required to provide a Title Defect Notice for any Seller Liens, which Seller is obligated to discharge at or prior to Closing and which shall not be deemed to be a Permitted Exception). Seller shall, within three (3) Business Days after receipt of any Title Defect Notice (and in any event prior to Closing), deliver a response to the Buyer specifying all Title Defects which Seller shall attempt to cure or discharge or elect not to cure or discharge (“Title Response Notice”). Seller may elect (but shall not be obligated) to remove or cause to be removed, or insured over, at its expense any Title Defects which are not Permitted Exceptions as set forth in a Title Defect Notice (other than Seller Liens which Seller shall be obligated to discharge), and shall be entitled to a reasonable adjournment of the Closing (not to exceed ten (10) days) for the purpose of such removal or cure, which removal or cure will be deemed effected by discharging of record the same such that it is not binding upon Buyer or the Assets. If Seller fails to cure, elects not to cure (or otherwise remove) any Title Defect set forth in a Title Defect Notice (other than Seller Liens which Seller shall be obligated to discharge) and otherwise is unable to convey fee title to the Property to Buyer at Closing subject only to Permitted Exceptions, Buyer may elect, as its sole and exclusive remedy therefore, to either (x) terminate this Agreement by giving written notice to Seller and Escrow Agent, in which event, the Xxxxxxx Money shall be returned to Buyer and, thereafter, the parties shall have no further rights or obligations hereunder except for those obligations which expressly survive the termination of this Agreement, or (y) waive such Title Defects, in which event such Title Defects shall be deemed

additional “Permitted Exceptions” and the Closing shall occur as herein provided without any reduction of or credit against the Purchase Price Balance.

(b)

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Seller shall be obligated at Closing at its sole cost and expense to cause the release or discharge of (i) any deed to secure debt, mortgage, deed of trust or other security instrument securing indebtedness for borrowed money encumbering all or any portion of the Assets, (ii) real estate tax liens and any other tax liens, in each case, for delinquent taxes that are due and payable by Seller, (iii) mechanics or materialmen's liens resulting from or in connection with work or improvements at the Property, (iv) any judgments against Seller, (v) encumbrances and liens created or permitted by Seller in violation of the terms of this Agreement, (vi) title defects, title exceptions, encumbrances or other title matters that Seller expressly agrees in writing to remove on or prior to the Closing, and (vii) any other liens or encumbrances which can be discharged through the mere payment of monies (collectively, “Seller Liens”). The parties acknowledge and agree that if not paid by Seller before Closing, Buyer shall have the right to apply or cause Escrow Agent to apply all or any portion of the Purchase Price Balance to cause the release of any Seller Liens, as applicable, and if the cost to release such Seller Liens exceeds the Purchase Price Balance, Seller shall pay such excess amounts to Escrow Agent at Closing.

Section 9.4.

Xxxxx’s Right to Accept Title.

(a)

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Article IX, Buyer may, by express written notice given to Seller at any time prior to the earlier of (x) the Closing Date and (y) the termination of this Agreement, elect to accept such title as Seller can convey, notwithstanding the existence of any Title Defect. In such event, this Agreement shall remain in effect and the parties shall proceed to Closing but Buyer shall not be entitled to any abatement of the Purchase Price, any credit or allowance of any kind or any claim or right of action against Seller for damages or otherwise by reason of the existence of any such Title Defect accepted by Buyer.

(b)

Buyer shall be entitled to request that the Title Company provide such endorsements (or amendments) to the Title Policy as Buyer may reasonably require, and to provide a mortgagee title insurance policy at Closing.

Section 9.5.

Cooperation. In connection with obtaining the Title Policy, Xxxxx and Seller, as applicable, and to the extent requested by the Title Company, shall deliver to the Title Company (a) evidence sufficient to establish (i) the legal existence of Buyer and Seller and (ii) the authority of the respective signatories of Seller and Buyer to bind Seller and Xxxxx, as the case may be, and (b) a certificate of good standing of Buyer and Seller. In addition, Xxxxxx will deliver to the Title Company at Closing, if and to the extent requested by Title Company, an owner’s title affidavit and gap indemnity substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit I (together, the “Title Affidavit”). In addition, Seller shall, at no cost or liability to Seller (other than to a de minimis extent) cooperate in all reasonable respects with the Title Company in connection with obtaining the Title Policy. Without limiting the foregoing, at or before Closing, Seller (and/or its general partners or direct or indirect beneficial owners) shall deliver to the Title Company such affidavits, certificates, other instruments, and documentary evidence as are reasonably required by the Title Company and customarily furnished in connection with a transaction of the nature

If, on or before the Closing Date, the Assets or any portion thereof shall be (i) damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty or (ii) taken, or threatened to be taken, as a result of any condemnation or eminent domain proceeding, including the receipt of any notice letter relating thereto, Seller shall promptly notify Buyer prior to the Closing and, at Closing, Seller will credit against the Purchase Price Balance payable by Buyer an amount equal to the net proceeds (other than on account of business or rental interruption insurance proceeds relating to the period prior to Closing), if any, received by Seller (unless otherwise paid directly to Buyer as named insured under the Seller’s insurance policies (collectively, the “Seller’s Policies”), if applicable) as a result of such casualty or condemnation, together with a credit for (I) any deductible under such insurance and coverage to be assigned to or payable by Buyer under the Seller’s Policies, if applicable, plus (II) the amount of any uninsured or underinsured portion of the casualty loss, if applicable, less any amounts spent by Seller prior to Closing to restore the Property. If as of the Closing Date, Seller (or Buyer as named insured under the Seller’s Policies, if applicable) has not received all or any portion of such insurance or condemnation proceeds, then the parties shall nevertheless consummate on the Closing Date the conveyance of the Assets (without any credit for such insurance or condemnation proceeds except for a credit for any deductible under such insurance as provided for herein) and Seller will at Closing assign to Buyer all rights of Seller, if any, to the insurance or condemnation proceeds (other than on account of business or rental

interruption relating to the period prior to Closing) and to all other rights or claims arising out of or in connection with such casualty or condemnation.

(b)

Intentionally omitted.

(c)

Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 10.2(a), if, on or before the Closing Date, the Property or any portion thereof shall be (i) damaged or destroyed by a Material Casualty or (ii) subject to a Material Condemnation, Buyer shall have the right, exercised by written notice to Seller no more than ten (10) days after Buyer has received notice of such Material Casualty or Material Condemnation, to terminate this Agreement, in which event the Xxxxxxx Money shall be returned to Buyer and neither party hereto shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder other than those which expressly survive the termination of this Agreement.

Seller shall be responsible for the payment of any real estate and personal property taxes that are delinquent before Closing. In no event shall Seller be charged with or be responsible for any increase in the Taxes on the Assets resulting from the sale of the Assets contemplated by this Agreement, any change in use or improvement of the Assets or Property on or after the Closing Date, or any improvements made or leases entered into on or after the Closing Date.

Upon the taking of subsequent actual readings, such charges will be appropriately reprorated after the Closing on the basis of the next subsequent bills. Seller shall be entitled to recover any and all deposits held by any utility company as of the Closing Date; provided that if any such deposit is transferred to Buyer at Closing, Seller shall receive a credit at Closing in the amount of the deposit so transferred.

Section 11.5.

Miscellaneous Revenues. Revenues, if any, arising out of revenue producing agreements, including relating to telephone booths, vending machines, laundry agreements, and including inducement fees, “door fees” or similar non-recurring payments shall

NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, IF THE REMEDY OF SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE IS NOT AVAILABLE AS A REMEDY OR THE SELLER HAS

OTHERWISE INTENTIONALLY OR WILLFULLY DEFAULTED, THEN THE $250,000 LIMITATION PROVIDED IN CLAUSE (A) ABOVE SHALL NOT APPLY AND BUYER SHALL BE PERMITTED TO PURSUE ANY REMEDY AT LAW OR EQUITY. IF BUYER SHALL NOT HAVE FILED AN ACTION FOR SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE WITHIN THE AFOREMENTIONED TIME PERIOD OR SO NOTIFIED SELLER OF ITS ELECTION TO TERMINATE THIS AGREEMENT, BUYER’S SOLE REMEDY (EXCEPT WITH RESPECT TO MATTERS THAT EXPRESSLY SURVIVE TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT) SHALL BE TO TERMINATE THIS AGREEMENT IN ACCORDANCE WITH CLAUSE (A) ABOVE.

Section 14.2.

Buyer Default. IF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT SHALL NOT BE CLOSED BY REASON OF BUYER’S DEFAULT OF ANY MATERIAL OBLIGATION TO BE PERFORMED BY THE BUYER AT THE CLOSING UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, AND SELLER IS NOT THEN IN DEFAULT HEREUNDER, THEN, AS ITS SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY (EXCEPT WITH RESPECT TO MATTERS THAT EXPRESSLY SURVIVE TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT), SELLER MAY ELECT TO TERMINATE THIS AGREEMENT AND RECEIVE PAYMENT OF THE XXXXXXX MONEY FROM ESCROW AGENT, SUBJECT TO THE SURVIVING OBLIGATIONS; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, IF THE SELLER IS THEN IN MATERIAL BREACH OF ANY OF ITS REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES OR COVENANTS SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, SELLER SHALL NOT BE ENTITLED TO PAYMENT OF THE XXXXXXX MONEY, AND THE XXXXXXX MONEY SHALL BE RETURNED TO THE BUYER. IN CONNECTION WITH THE FOREGOING, THE PARTIES RECOGNIZE THAT SELLER WILL INCUR EXPENSE IN CONNECTION WITH THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT AND THAT THE ASSETS WILL BE REMOVED FROM THE MARKET; FURTHER, THAT IT IS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT AND IMPRACTICABLE TO ASCERTAIN THE EXTENT OF DETRIMENT TO SELLER CAUSED BY THE BREACH BY BUYER UNDER THIS AGREEMENT AND THE FAILURE OF THE CONSUMMATION OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT OR THE AMOUNT OF COMPENSATION SELLER SHOULD RECEIVE AS A RESULT OF BUYER’S BREACH OR DEFAULT.

THE PAYMENT OF SUCH AMOUNT AS LIQUIDATED DAMAGES IS NOT INTENDED AS A FORFEITURE OR PENALTY, BUT IS INTENDED TO CONSTITUTE LIQUIDATED DAMAGES TO SELLER.

refund of the Xxxxxxx Money in accordance with Section 6.2, Section 8.2, Section 9.3(a) or Section 10.2(c)), and either party makes a written demand upon the Escrow Agent for payment of such amount, the Escrow Agent shall, within twenty-four (24) hours thereof, give written notice to the other party of such demand. If the Escrow Agent does not receive a written objection within five (5) Business Days after the giving of such notice, the Escrow Agent is hereby authorized to make such payment. If the Escrow Agent does receive such written objection within such five (5) Business Day period or if for any other reason the Escrow Agent in good faith shall elect not to make such payment, the Escrow Agent shall continue to hold such amount until otherwise directed by joint written instructions from the parties to this Agreement or a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. However, the Escrow Agent shall have the right at any time to deposit the Xxxxxxx Money with the clerk of the court in the County of Xxxx. The Escrow Agent shall give written notice of such deposit to Seller and Buyer. Upon such deposit the Escrow Agent shall be relieved and discharged of all further obligations and responsibilities hereunder.
