Escrow Agent shall be protected in acting upon any written or oral communication, notice, certificate, or instrument or documents believed by it to be genuine and to be properly given or executed without the necessity of verifying the truth or accuracy of the same or the authority of the person giving or executing the same.
| 4 |
Except for the delivery of the Downpayment to the Seller at the Closing or Purchaser’s cancelation of this Agreement pursuant to the express terms of this Agreement, the Downpayment and any interest earned thereon shall not be delivered to either party unless and until Escrow Agent gives ten (10) days’ prior written notice to both parties of its intention to release the Downpayment and any interest as provided in this Agreement. In the event (a) a party objects in writing given to the other party and Escrow Agent to such release within such ten (10) day period or (b) Escrow Agent determines that a dispute or uncertainty exists as to Escrow Agent’s duties, then Escrow Agent shall refrain from releasing the Downpayment and interest and either (i) continue to hold same in escrow until Escrow Agent is otherwise directed in writing by both parties or by final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction as to the disposition thereof, or (ii) deposit or turn over the Downpayment and any interest earned thereon to any court of competent jurisdiction and thereupon be relieved from all responsibilities with respect thereto. Nothing in this Section shall prohibit Escrow Agent from acting as the Seller's attorney in the event of any dispute under this Agreement.
Upon disposing of the Downpayment and any interest earned thereon in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, Escrow Agent shall be relieved and discharged of all claims and liabilities relating to such funds, and shall not be subject to any claims or surcharges made by or on behalf of either party hereto. The Escrow Agent may represent the Seller in connection with any matter pertaining to this transaction, including any litigation arising out of this Agreement.
The Seller and Purchaser jointly agree to indemnify and hold Escrow Agent harmless from all liability, costs, expenses, damages, actions or other charges which may be imposed upon, or incurred by, Escrow Agent in connection with the performance of its duties hereunder, except with respect to any liability, cost and expense incurred as a result of Escrow Agent's willful misconduct or gross negligence.

| (5) | Emergency Repair Liens. |
All emergency repair liens assessed against the Premises prior to the Closing shall be paid and discharged by the Seller upon the Closing.
| (6) | Assessments. |
If, at the time of the Closing, the Premises shall be or shall have been affected by any special or capital assessment due to the Condominium, the Seller shall be responsible for any such special or capital assessments, including any monthly installments, due prior to the Closing Date and the Purchaser shall be responsible for any special assessments, including monthly installments, due from and after the Closing Date. To the extent applicable, monthly installments for any such special or capital assessment for the month in which the Closing Date occurs shall be prorated between the Seller and the Purchaser pursuant to their respective periods of ownership of the Condo Unit. At the Closing, each of the Sellers or the Purchaser shall pay the amount of any such special or capital assessment that the Seller and/or the Purchaser is responsible for payment of same, as provided above.
| 5 |
| (7) | Deed. |
The deed shall be the usual bargain and sale deeds with covenants against grantor's acts in proper statutory form for recording and shall be duly executed and acknowledged so as to convey to the Purchaser the fee simple of the Premises, free of all encumbrances, except as herein stated, and shall contain the covenant required by subdivision 5 of Section 13 of the Lien Law. At the Closing the Seller shall deliver to the Purchaser possession of the Premises, subject only to the Permitted Exceptions set forth in Exhibit C. Except as set forth in this Agreement and/or the documents and/or agreements to be delivered at the Closing by the Seller, the acceptance of the deed by the Purchaser shall be deemed to be full performance and discharge of every obligation on the part of the Seller to be performed under this Agreement.
| (8) | Title. |
(a) Subject only to the Permitted Exceptions set forth in Exhibit C, the Seller shall give and the Purchaser shall accept title to the Premises such as the Title Company will be willing to approve and insure without any special premium in excess of the standard rates or any affirmative coverage. Purchaser shall promptly after executing this Agreement order a title examination and shall cause a copy of the title report to be delivered to Seller's attorneys concurrently with the delivery thereof to Purchaser's attorneys.
(b) Except as provided below, the Seller shall have the right but not the obligation to cure title objections constituting conditions of title varying from the state of title to be delivered in accordance with this Agreement (hereinafter, collectively, "Valid Title Objections" and, individually, "Valid Title Objection") and to adjourn the closing from time to time to a date specified by Seller upon five (5) business days' notice to Purchaser but not beyond a date ("Adjourned Date") which is more than thirty (30) days after the Closing Date or expiration of Purchaser’s mortgage commitment, whichever is sooner, but, in the case of such expiration of Purchaser’s mortgage commitment, in no event sooner than ten (10) business days after the Closing Date and provided the Seller cures the Valid Title Objections, as reasonably required by the Title Company, on or before the Adjourned Date, then the Closing shall occur on such Adjourned Date specified by Seller in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. If Seller is not able to cure any Valid Title Objection or Seller fails to cure a Valid Title Objection on or before the Adjourned Date, then the Purchaser's sole right and remedy shall be, on the terms and conditions set forth below, to either:
(i) to declare this Agreement canceled and to recover the net cost actually incurred by Purchaser in examining the title, including municipal searches, which is not to exceed the reasonable charges fixed by Title Company and the net cost of any survey made or updated for the Premises, which was incurred by Purchaser and to receive the refund of the Deposit plus accrued interest thereon in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; or
| 6 |
(ii) to complete the purchase in accordance with this Agreement without reduction in the Purchase Price. Purchaser shall exercise its option pursuant to subparagraphs 8(b)(i) above or this subparagraph (ii) by notice given to and received by Seller within ten (10) business days from Purchaser's receipt of notice from Seller that Seller cannot cure all of the Valid Title Objections pursuant to the terms of this Contract of Sale. If Purchaser shall fail to send a written notice to Seller exercising either of Purchaser's options set forth under Section 8(b)(i) above or this subparagraph (ii) within the required time period, then it shall be deemed that Purchaser exercised the option set forth in Section 8(b)(i) above to declare this Agreement cancelled. Except as otherwise stated herein, nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed to require Seller to bring any action or otherwise to incur any expenses to render title to the Premises marketable and/or to cure any Valid Title Objections. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Seller shall apply the Purchase Price to pay off emergency repair liens, unpaid real estate taxes, unpaid assessments, unpaid mechanics liens and/or judgments against the Seller and/or the Premises, unpaid water and sewer charges, all mortgages encumbering the Premises and/or any other Valid Title Objection which can be reduced to a liquidated amount (hereinafter collectively referred to as “Monetary Obligations”).
(c) If on the date of Closing there may be any liens or encumbrances which the Seller is obligated to pay and discharge, the Seller may use any portion of the balance of the Purchase Price to satisfy the same, provided that the Title Company shall omit same from Purchaser’s title insurance policy for the Premises, at standard rates and the Seller shall simultaneously either deliver to the Purchaser or the Title Company at the Closing instruments in recordable form and sufficient to satisfy such liens and encumbrances of record together with cost of recording or filing said instruments; or, provided the Seller has made arrangements with the Title Company, Seller will deposit with said Title Company sufficient monies, reasonably acceptable to and required by it to omit any such liens or encumbrances from the title policy, at standard rates. The Purchaser, if request is made by Seller at least one (1) business days prior to the Closing Date, shall provide at the Closing separate bank checks (or arrange for wire transfers), not to exceed the amount of the balance of the Purchase Price, to facilitate the satisfaction of any such liens or encumbrances. The existence of any such taxes or other liens and encumbrances shall not be deemed objections to title if the Seller shall comply with the foregoing requirements.
(d) If a search of the title discloses judgments, bankruptcies or other returns against other persons having names the same as or similar to that of the Seller, the Seller will on request deliver to the Purchaser and Purchaser’s Title Company an affidavit showing that such judgments, bankruptcies or other returns are not against the Seller.
| (9) | EFFECT OF CLOSING. |
Upon consummation of the Closing, Purchaser shall be the owner of the Condo Unit and the landlord under the Lease.
| 7 |
| (10) | REMEDIES. |
(a) Default by Purchaser: The parties agree that if the Purchaser is in default, beyond all applicable notice and cure periods, of any of the material terms of this Agreement and Purchaser fails to close under this Agreement, the damages of Seller, while substantial, would be difficult or impossible to determine with mathematical precision. Thus, in such event, Seller's sole and exclusive remedy shall be to terminate this Agreement and retain as liquidated damages, the Downpayment and the interest, earned thereon, without any further recourse by the Seller against the Purchaser and/or its members, partners, employees and agents. The parties agree that the provisions of this Section represent an agreed measure of damages and are not to be deemed a forfeiture or penalty. In the event that any check delivered to Seller on account of the Downpayment or any other portion of the Purchase Price shall be dishonored for any reason whatsoever, it shall be deemed a material default by Purchaser hereunder and Seller may, in that event, cancel this Agreement. Notwithstanding the above provisions, if the check for the Downpayment shall be dishonored, the Seller shall notify the Purchaser of same and the Purchaser shall have one (1) business day to replace such check with a certified check made payable to the Escrow Agent or a wire transfer of Federal Funds for the amount of the Downpayment.
(b) Default by Seller: In the event that Seller should be in default under this Agreement, except as otherwise stated in this Agreement, Purchaser's sole remedies will be either to: (1) xxx to specifically enforce this Agreement; or (2) to terminate this Agreement, whereupon the Escrow Agent shall return the Downpayment to Purchaser, together with all interest earned thereon, and xxx for damages for costs relating title company searches actually incurred by the Purchaser. Except as otherwise stated in this Agreement, the Purchaser hereby expressly waives any and all right to seek damages as a result of Seller's default under this Agreement prior to Closing. In any action for specific performance, reasonable legal fees shall be awarded to the prevailing party.

Seller may modify or update any representation or warranty in this Agreement to correct any mistake and/or to reflect any matter which arises subsequent to the date of this Agreement; provided, however, to the extent such modification or update evidences a change in any such representation or warranty that is "material" (as defined in this Section), then Purchaser’s sole remedy shall be to terminate this Agreement on or prior to the Closing Date.

| (27) | ENTIRE AGREEMENT. |
This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties hereto as to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior understandings and agreements. Purchaser acknowledges having entered into this Agreement without relying upon any promises, statements, estimates, representations, warranties, conditions or other inducements, expressed or implied, oral or written, not set forth herein.

| 19 |
| (30) | RISK OF LOSS/CONDEMNATION. |
(a) The risk of loss or damage to the Premises, by fire or other cause, until the time of the Closing, is assumed by the Seller, but without any obligation on the part of the Seller, except at the Seller’s option, to repair or replace any such loss or damage. The Seller shall notify Purchaser (the “Casualty Notice”) of the occurrence of any such loss or damage within five (5) days after such occurrence or by the Closing Date, whichever first occurs, and in the Casualty Notice shall elect whether or not the Seller will repair or replace the loss or damage, which would be the obligation of the Seller to repair and/or replace under the Declaration and Bylaws for the Condominium and if Seller elects to do so, that it will complete the same within one hundred twenty (120) day period hereinafter referred to. The Casualty Notice shall contain, to the extent available to the Seller, an estimate of the cost to repair or replace such loss or damage to the Premises from the adjuster for the Seller’s insurance carrier (the “Cost Estimate”). If the Cost Estimate is not available, then the Seller shall deliver same when received. If the Seller elects in the Casualty Notice to make such repairs and/or replacements, then the Casualty Notice shall set forth an adjourned date for the Closing, which shall be not more than one hundred twenty (120) days after the date of the giving of the Seller's notice. If the Seller does not elect in the Casualty Notice to make such repairs and/or replacements, or if the Seller elects in the Casualty Notice to make such repairs and/or replacements and fails to substantially complete such repairs and/or replacements on or before said adjourned Closing Date set forth in the Casualty Notice, then Purchaser shall have the following options:
(i) to declare this Agreement canceled and receive a refund, with interest from the Seller of all sums theretofore paid on account of the Total Purchase Price; or
(ii) to complete the purchase in accordance with this Agreement, without reduction in the Total Purchase Price, except as provided in the next sentence. If the insurance carried by Seller covers such loss or damage, then Seller shall turn over to or pay Purchaser at the Closing the net proceeds (after legal and other expenses of collection) actually collected by the Seller under the provisions of such insurance policies to the extent that they are attributable to loss of or damage to the Premises and the amount of the Seller’s deductible under its insurance policy which is attributable to any such loss or damage; if the Seller has not received any of such proceeds, the Seller shall request that the Seller’s insurance carrier provide a letter confirming the insured loss and shall assign (without recourse to the Seller) the Seller's claim for damages against its insurer and any recovery therefrom which is attributable to the loss of or damage to the Premises, less any sums theretofore expended by it which has not been applied to the restoration.
(b) If the Seller does not give Purchaser the Casualty Notice in the time period provided in Section 30(a) hereof or fails to elect in the Casualty Notice to make such repairs and/or replacements, then Purchaser may exercise the resulting options under clause (i) or (ii) of Section 30(a) above only by written notice given to the Seller within ten (10) business days after Purchaser’s option arises (time being of the essence with respect to such ten (10) business day period), provided that during such time period Seller deliver to Purchaser the Cost Estimate. If Seller does not give Purchaser the Cost Estimate on or prior to the commencement of such ten (10) business day period, then such period of ten (10) business days shall be extended for one (1) business day for each day after the commencement of such ten business day period until Seller gives the Cost Estimated to Purchaser. If the Seller elects in the Casualty Notice to make such repairs and/or replacements and fails to substantially complete such repairs and/or replacements on or before the adjourned Closing Date, Purchaser may exercise the resulting options under clause (i) or (ii) of Section 30(a) above within ten (10) business days after the adjourned Closing Date.
| 20 |
(c) Notwithstanding anything contained therein to the contrary, if the Cost Estimate to restore the Premises is estimated to be $500,000 or greater, then Purchaser may elect to terminate this Agreement by giving notice to the Seller within ten (10) business days after the Seller gives the Cost Estimate to Purchaser (time being of the essence with respect to such ten (10) business day period), in which case this Agreement shall terminate on the date of Purchaser's notice and the Downpayment (plus any accrued interest) shall be returned to Purchaser. Failure of Purchaser to provide such notice within such ten (10) day period shall be deemed an election by Purchaser not to terminate this Agreement. To the extent the Seller elects to complete such restoration and Purchaser elects not to terminate this Agreement, the plans and specifications the contractor utilized to complete such restoration and the terms and conditions of any such construction contract for such restoration shall be subject to the approval of the Purchaser, not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. In the event Purchaser elects to proceed with the transaction, the Seller shall not settle any insurance claims as to the Condo Unit without the prior written approval of Purchaser, not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
(d) In the event of a casualty and Purchaser elects to proceed with the purchase, as contemplated by this Agreement, the terms of Declaration and Bylaws shall apply to any such restoration. Any reference to the Seller’s restoration of the Premises shall include only the Seller’s obligations as the Unit Owner under the Declaration and Bylaws and any Cost Estimate required to be provided hereunder shall also relate to the cost to restore the Premises, which would be the obligation of the Seller as the Unit Owner in the Condominium.
(e) If, prior to the Closing Date, any portion of the land on which the Building is located or the Property is taken by eminent domain which results in either (i) a reduction of more than ten percent (10%) of the gross leasable area of the Condo Unit or the Property, or (ii) a material and adverse effect on access to the Condo Unit or the Property, then Seller shall promptly notify Purchaser of such fact and Purchaser shall have the option to terminate this Agreement upon notice to Seller given not later than fifteen (15) business days after Seller gives such notice to Purchaser. If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to this Section 30(e), then neither party shall thereafter have any rights or obligations hereunder (other than any such rights or such obligations that are expressly stated herein to survive the termination hereof). If Purchaser does not elect to terminate this Agreement or has no right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 30(e), then (x) Purchaser shall accept so much of the Condo Unit as remains after such casualty or taking in its “as-is” condition with no abatement of the Purchase Price, and (y) at the Closing, Seller shall assign and turn over to Purchaser, and Purchaser shall be entitled to receive and keep, all of Seller’s interest in and to all awards paid or payable to Seller for such taking by eminent domain, less, in either case, reasonable costs incurred by Seller to collect the same and the portion thereof that Seller uses to make temporary or emergency repairs to the Condo Unit. Seller shall not repair or restore any portion of the Condo Unit or the Property after the occurrence of a condemnation, or settle any condemnation claim, in either case without Purchaser’s consent, which consent Purchaser shall not unreasonably withhold, condition or delay.
| 21 |

In connection with implementing such tax free exchange by Seller, the Purchaser shall at the Closing pay the cash portion of the Purchase Price to the qualified intermediary designated by the Seller in writing. As a part of such exchange, the Seller shall transfer the Premises directly to the Purchaser and the Purchaser shall not be obligated to acquire or convey any other property as part of such exchange. Any Exchanging Party further agrees to indemnify and hold the other party harmless from and against any and all causes of action, claims, damages, losses, costs, expenses, obligations, and/or liabilities, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, resulting from such Exchanging Party’s participation in such exchange. This indemnification shall survive the Closing.

Any interim period between the date of the final reading and the Closing shall be adjusted between the parties. The provisions of this Section shall survive Closing.

| (42) | Third Party Rights. |

| (48) | SECTION 3.14 AUDIT. |
Seller covenants and agrees to cooperate with Purchaser, both prior to and after the Closing, in connection with any and all reasonable information requests made by or on behalf of Purchaser, which are required to complete a so-called “Section 314 audit”, including, but not limited to providing the following (to the extent applicable and in Seller’s possession or control or is information which Seller can obtain without undue burden or unreasonable cost on Seller): (a) monthly historical income statements for the Premises for 2013; (b) monthly historical income statements for the Premises for 2014, year to date; (c) five (5) years of annual historical occupancy and rent for the Premises; (d) back-up and supporting documents relating to the items set forth herein (such as bills, checks, etc.); and (e) the most current financial statement for each of the Tenants to the extent such current financial statements are in the possession of Seller or its managing agent. In addition, Seller shall reasonably cooperate with Purchaser, at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense, both prior to and after the Closing, in connection with any and all information requests made by or on behalf of Purchaser, provided that such information is in Seller’s possession or control or which Seller can obtain without undue burden or unreasonable cost on Seller, relating to the Premises, including the books and records of the Premises. For the avoidance of doubt, Purchaser acknowledges that to the extent such information or documentation referred to above does not exist or is not in Seller’s possession or control, Seller shall not be required to recreate or obtain such documentation or information for Purchaser. The provisions of this Section 48 shall survive the Closing until the third (3rd) anniversary of the Closing to the extent requests are made by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”); provided, however, that nothing in this Section 48 shall obligate Seller to remain in existence or prevent the Seller from dissolving after the Closing (subject to Seller’s other obligations pursuant to this Agreement) or require Seller to incur costs in excess of minimal costs for Seller’s compliance with this Section 48. Notwithstanding the above cooperation agreed to by the Seller in order to assist the Purchaser to complete its Section 3.14 audit, any failure of the Seller to provide such information either before or after the Closing shall not, prior to the Closing, be a condition precedent for the Closing, entitle the Purchaser to delay the Closing and/or give the Purchaser the right to terminate this Agreement and/or after the Closing give the Seller any liability to the Purchaser for damages, except if such actions of the Seller are a willful and deliberate failure of Seller to provide any cooperation to the Purchaser hereunder.
