A. Seller is the owner of that certain lot or parcel of ground known as 000 Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxxx, located in Uwchlan Township, Xxxxxxx County, Pennsylvania (the “Overall Premises”), which Overall Premises is depicted on the plan attached hereto as Exhibit “A” (the “Plan”). The Overall Premises is currently improved with an office building containing approximately 32,000 square feet of space (the “Existing Building”) with related parking areas and site improvements (together with the Existing Building, the “Existing Improvements”).
B. Seller intends to subject the Overall Premises to a condominium regime (the “Condominium”) pursuant to a Declaration of Condominium of Lot 8 Condominium, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit “B” (the “Declaration”). Pursuant to the Declaration, Seller, as “Declarant”, will create two (2) condominium units, one (1) unit being the footprint of the Existing Building and all improvements constructed thereon, and the second unit being the building footprint of an additional building to be constructed by Seller. The balance of the Overall Premises will be “common elements” to be maintained and operated by the condominium association to be created pursuant to the Declaration.

C. Seller desires to sell to the Buyer the condominium unit containing the Existing Building, together with such unit’s percentage interest in the common elements of the Condominium (the “Premises”), and Buyer desires to acquire the Premises from Seller, upon the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound hereby, agree as follows:
1. SALE OF PREMISES. Seller agrees to sell to Buyer, and Buyer agrees to purchase from Seller, subject to the terms, covenants and conditions set forth herein, the Premises.
All units in the Condominium will be restricted under the Declaration to non residential use.

It is understood and agreed by Buyer that, until the first recorded conveyance of a unit in the Condominium from Seller to any third party, Seller shall have the right, acting alone, to amend any of the Condominium Documents, provided Seller must first obtain Buyer’s consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned, if such amendment will materially and adversely affect the rights of Buyer.

3
studies, nor may Buyer perform any tests or studies that will damage all or any part of the Premises, without the express prior written consent of Seller, which consent may be withheld in Seller’s sole discretion. If at any time prior to the expiration of the Investigation Period the Buyer determines that it is not satisfied with the results of the Investigations, in Buyer’s sole discretion, and notifies the Seller in writing of its election to terminate this Agreement prior to the end of the Investigation Period, this Agreement shall automatically become null and void, the Escrow Agent shall return the Deposit to Buyer, and all of the parties to this Agreement shall be released from any and all further obligation or liability hereunder, other than obligations that expressly survive termination of this Agreement.

Prior to entry upon the premises as permitted by this Section 4, or under another provision of this Agreement, Buyer shall obtain, and shall maintain so long as Buyer intends to enter upon the Premises, commercial general liability insurance coverage, on an occurrence basis, for damage to property and injury to persons, including death, with minimum limits of $2,000,000.00 for each type of coverage.

In addition, Buyer agrees to repair any physical damage to the Premises caused by the Buyer’s or the Buyer’s agents’, representatives’ or employees’ entry onto the Premises. Buyer shall give
4
Seller not less than one (1) business day advance written notice by facsimile of its intent to enter upon the Premises. Buyer shall use its best efforts to not interrupt the operation or conduct of any business or activity on the Premises or Overall Premises, and Buyer’s rights shall be subject to the rights of all tenants under leases affecting the Overall Premises. Buyer agrees to indemnify and hold the Seller harmless from and against any and all expenses, claims, losses, costs and liabilities (including reasonable attorneys fees) arising from, caused by or incurred in connection with the Buyer’s entry onto the Premises or Overall Premises. The foregoing indemnity and hold harmless agreement shall survive Closing or the termination of this Agreement.
C. Delivery of Materials. Within three (3) business days after the Agreement Date, Seller shall deliver to Buyer, without representation or warranty, a copy of Seller’s existing survey and environmental report for the Overall Premises.
5. TITLE.
A. Title Report.

5
this Agreement by giving written notice thereof to Seller, in which event the Escrow Agent shall refund the Deposit to Buyer, this Agreement shall be null and void and neither of the parties shall have any further obligations or liability under this Agreement.

B. Status of Title. The Premises are to be conveyed free and clear of any liens, encumbrances, easements, restrictions and agreements, excepting only the Permitted Exceptions (hereinafter defined). Seller shall furnish such customary title affidavits as the Title Company may reasonably require for the removal of standard title objections that are customarily removed by such affidavits.

Buyer shall deliver written notice of its election to Seller within five (5) calendar days after the date upon which Buyer receives written notice, or otherwise learns, of such damage.
