3.2 Survey. Buyer acknowledges receipt of Seller’s most recent survey of the Property. Seller has ordered, and shall deliver to Buyer, at Buyer’s expense, an update of Seller’s survey by a reputable surveyor or surveying firm, licensed by the state in which the Property is located. Any and all matters that would be shown on such a survey of the Property, prepared in accordance with applicable ALTA survey standards, are referred to herein as “Survey Matters.”

3.3 Examination of Title. From the date hereof until 5:00 p.m. Eastern time on March 24, 2014 (the “Title Inspection Period”) Buyer shall have the opportunity to review the Title Commitment, any amendments thereto issued during the Title Inspection Period, the exceptions to title disclosed in the Title Commitment, all Survey Matters and all other aspects of Seller’s title to the Property. On or before the expiration of the Title Inspection Period, Buyer shall notify Seller in writing of any bona-fide defect in title to the Property, or any other matter which is indicated on the Title Commitment or any Survey Matter to which Buyer objects. If Buyer does so notify Seller of a defect in title or other matter objectionable to Buyer within the prescribed time, Seller shall have five (5) days in which to determine whether to cure the defect or other matter so objected to by Buyer and to notify Buyer of Seller’s decision in this regard. If Seller does not so notify Buyer within said five (5) day period, then Seller shall be deemed to have elected not to remove such exceptions. If Seller elects, or is deemed to have elected, not to remove such exceptions, Buyer may terminate this Agreement within five (5) days of receipt of Seller’s notice, and the Deposit shall be returned to Buyer. If Buyer fails to give to Seller a Title Objection Notice prior to the expiration of the Title Inspection Period or fails to terminate this Agreement as set forth in the preceding sentence, Buyer (i) shall no longer have any right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 3.3 and (subject to the provisions of Sections 3.4 and 3.5) shall be bound to proceed to Closing and consummate the transaction contemplated hereby pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and (ii) shall be deemed to have approved the state of title to the Property as it exists on the

effective date of the Title Commitment, as last amended during the Title Inspection Period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall be responsible for discharging any mortgages or voluntary monetary liens (other than municipal liens not yet due and payable), including mechanics’ liens for unpaid work at the Property performed on behalf of Seller, (collectively, “Monetary Liens”) at or prior to Closing.

3.4 Amendments to Title Commitment. Buyer shall have the right to object to any title exceptions first raised by the Title Company in any amendments to the Title Commitment issued after the expiration of the Title Inspection Period by giving written notice to Seller of the title exceptions to which Buyer is objecting on or before the earlier of (a) the date and time for Closing and (b) two (2) Business Days after the issuance of any such amendment. If Buyer does not object to any title exception first raised in any such amendment to the Title Commitment issued after the expiration of the Title Inspection Period by giving timely written notice as herein provided, such title exception shall be a Permitted Exception. In the event Buyer gives timely written notice of objection to any title exception as herein provided, Seller shall have two (2) Business Days in which to determine whether to cure the defect or other matter so objected to by Buyer and to notify Buyer of Seller’s decision in this regard. If Seller does not so notify Buyer within said two (2) Business Day period, then Seller shall be deemed to have elected not to remove such exceptions. If Seller elects, or is deemed to have elected, not to remove such exceptions, Buyer may terminate this Agreement within two (2) Business Days of receipt of Seller’s notice, and the Deposit shall be returned to Buyer. The Closing Date shall be automatically extended, if necessary, to allow all such periods in this Section 3.4 to run.

3.5 Property Inspection. From the date hereof through 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on March 24, 2014 (the “Property Inspection Period”), Buyer shall have the right to make non-invasive physical inspections of the Property and to examine at such place or places at the Property, in the offices of the property manager or elsewhere as the same may be located, any operating files maintained by Seller or its property manager in connection with the leasing, maintenance and/or management of the Property, including, without limitation, the Leases, lease files, bills, invoices, receipts and other general records relating to the income and expenses of the Property, correspondence, surveys, plans and specifications, warranties for services and materials provided to the Property, and similar materials, but excluding Seller’s internal memoranda, financial projections, client reports, budgets, environmental audits and physical inspection reports, appraisals, accounting and tax records and similar proprietary or confidential information and materials not directly related to the leasing, maintenance and/or management of the Property. All information acquired by Buyer or its representatives as a result of any Property inspections shall be kept in strict confidence as more fully set forth in Section 13.3. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, Seller hereby approves Buyer’s right to discuss Buyer’s potential purchase of the Property with representatives or employees of any municipal, state or federal government (or agency, authority, department, or quasi-governmental agency thereof) (collectively, “Governmental Agencies”), provided (a) Buyer gives Seller reasonable prior notice of any meetings with such representatives or employees and Seller

 

5


shall have the right to have a representative present at such meetings, and (b) Buyer provides to Seller copies of all correspondence to and from such Governmental Agencies related to the Property or Buyer’s purchase of the Property. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Buyer is authorized to have initial meetings with, and make the reasonable and customary general requests of, Governmental Agencies regarding the compliance of the Property with applicable laws and regulations, including without limitation compliance of the Property with zoning, environmental and other ordinances and requirements and the then-current entitlements with respect to the Property, without any further notice to Seller or copies of such initial requests. Buyer understands and agrees that any on-site inspections of the Property shall be (i) subject to the notice and other access provisions in the Leases and (ii) conducted upon at least twenty-four (24) hours’ prior written notice to Seller and, (iii) at Seller’s option, conducted in the presence of Seller or its representative. After its inspections are completed, Buyer shall restore any damage to the Property caused by Buyer’s inspections at Buyer’s sole cost and expense. Prior to Buyer or any such other party entering the Property in the exercise of the access rights hereunder, Buyer shall deliver to Seller a certificate of comprehensive public liability insurance at limits of not less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000), combined single limit, for personal injury, including bodily injury and death, and property damage, naming Seller as an additional insured and evidencing coverage with such insurers and limits as shall be reasonably satisfactory to Seller. Except to the extent caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of Seller or its agents or representatives, Buyer agrees to indemnify against and hold Seller harmless from any claim, liabilities, costs, expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees actually incurred), damages or injuries arising out of or resulting from the inspection of the Property by Buyer or its agents or representatives; provided, however, that Buyer shall have no liability with respect to the mere discovery of any hazardous materials or contamination revealed by Buyer’s inspections and investigations pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, such obligation to indemnify and hold harmless Seller and the other obligations of Buyer under this Section 3.5 shall survive Closing or any termination of this Agreement. All inspections shall occur at reasonable times agreed upon by Seller and Buyer and shall be conducted so as not to interfere unreasonably with use of the Property by Seller or its tenants. As part of its investigation of the Property, Buyer shall have the right to provide to Seller in writing a list of those Service Contracts which Buyer does not elect to assume at Closing and, to the extent such Service Contracts are terminable on less than thirty (30) days’ notice without payment, Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to terminate such Service Contracts as of Closing.

In connection with its investigation of the Property during the Property Inspection Period, Buyer may inspect the Property in a non-invasive manner at Buyer’s expense for the presence of any Hazardous Substances, and shall upon Seller’s request (and provided Seller reimburses Buyer for any costs of such reports) furnish to Seller copies of any reports received by Buyer in connection with any such inspection. If Buyer desires to perform any invasive testing, such testing shall be permitted or denied in Seller’s sole discretion. For purposes hereof, Buyer and Seller agree that (i) a “Phase I Environmental Site Assessment” shall be a non-intrusive test hereby approved by Seller, and (ii) Seller

 

6


hereby approves a non-invasive property condition assessment (including without limitation an inspection of the roof of the Property). As used herein, “Hazardous Substances” means all hazardous or toxic materials, substances, pollutants, contaminants, or wastes currently identified as a hazardous substance or waste in the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act, the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, each as amended, or any other Federal, state or local legislation or ordinances applicable to the Property. Buyer hereby assumes full responsibility for such inspections and irrevocably waives any claim against Seller arising from the presence of Hazardous Substances on the Property. At Seller’s request (and provided Seller reimburses Buyer for any costs of such reports), Buyer shall also furnish to Seller copies of any other reports received by Buyer relating to any other inspections of the Property conducted on Buyer’s behalf, including any engineering or architectural reports analyzing compliance of the Property with applicable laws, codes, ordinances and regulations governing structures and access thereto by disabled persons. The provisions of this Section 3.5 shall survive the Closing or the termination of this Agreement, whether before or after the end of the Property Inspection Period.

3.6 Right of Termination. Seller agrees that in the event Buyer determines (such determination to be made in Buyer’s sole discretion) that the Property is not suitable for its purposes, Buyer shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by giving written notice thereof to Seller prior to 5:00 p.m. Eastern time on the last day of the Property Inspection Period. If Buyer gives such notice of termination within the Property Inspection Period, this Agreement shall terminate and the Deposit shall be returned to the Buyer. If Buyer fails to give Seller a notice of termination prior to the expiration of the Property Inspection Period, Buyer shall no longer have any right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 3.6 and shall be bound to proceed to Closing and consummate the transaction contemplated hereby pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

(d) Original copies, where available, of the due diligence materials made available to Buyer under Section 3.5 hereof.

(e) Originals of the Leases, to the extent in Seller’s possession, and, if applicable, appropriate instruments of transfer or assignment with respect to any lease security which is other than cash.

13


of survival and rights with respect thereof set forth in Article IV of this Agreement. If Seller discovers that any of the representations or warranties made by Seller in Article IV of this Agreement were not on the date hereof or are not on the date of Closing true and correct in all material respects, Seller shall include such state of facts in such certificate as shall be necessary or appropriate to make such representations and warranties true and correct in all material respects as of the date hereof and as of the date of Closing. If, as a result of any disclosures made in such certificate, the warranties and representations set forth in this Agreement were not on the date hereof or are not on the date of Closing true and correct in all material respects for any reason other than the occurrence of an event expressly permitted hereunder, the Buyer’s sole remedy shall be either to (i) close without adjustment of the Purchase Price and without the right to make any claim against Seller or (ii) terminate this Agreement in which event the Deposit shall be returned to Buyer and neither party shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder except to the extent that any rights or obligations set forth herein expressly survive termination of this Agreement.

ARTICLE VIII

APPORTIONMENTS AND ADJUSTMENTS TO PURCHASE PRICE

8.1 Apportionments. The following apportionments, calculated as of the close of business on the day prior to the Closing Date, shall be made between the parties at the Closing (to the extent that such expenses are not fully assumed by tenants under the Leases):

(a) Rent received by Seller prior to the Closing Date which is allocable to periods prior to the Closing Date shall be retained by Seller. Buyer shall receive a credit for the per diem value of rent received by Seller prior to the Closing Date which is allocable to periods from and after the Closing Date. Any rent received by Buyer after the Closing Date which is allocable to periods prior to the Closing Date shall be promptly forwarded

 

15


by Buyer to Seller without offset or deduction; provided that amounts received from tenants by Buyer will be first applied to current charges (including collection costs), and the balance will be applied to amounts due Seller. Buyer shall bill and use commercially reasonable efforts to collect any rent arrearages in the ordinary course of business but shall not be obligated to engage a collection agency or take legal action to collect any receivables which Seller does not collect and Seller shall not have the right to seek and collect from tenants directly.

(b) If any tenants are required to pay charges for real estate taxes, operating expenses, cost-of-living adjustments or other charges of a similar nature (“Additional Rent”) and any Additional Rent is collected by Buyer or Seller which is attributable in whole or in part to any period during which the respective party did not own the Property, such party shall promptly pay to the other party such other party’s proportionate share thereof, less a proportionate share of any reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses of collection thereof, which obligation shall survive the Closing.

(c) Prepaid and accrued operating expenses including real estate and personal property taxes, water charges, sewer rents and vault charges shall be apportioned on a per diem basis between Buyer and Seller using the most recent assessment, invoice, meter reading or billing. If the Closing shall occur before the current tax rate is fixed, the apportionment of taxes at the Closing shall be upon the basis of the tax rate for the preceding period applied to the latest assessed valuation. Promptly after the new rate is fixed, the apportionment of taxes shall be recomputed. Any net debit or credit resulting from such recomputation shall be paid promptly in cash, which obligation shall survive the Closing.

(d) Cash security deposits made by the tenant under the Lease shall be retained by Seller, with Buyer to receive a credit against the Purchase Price for the amount thereof. Security deposits consisting of letters of credit or other property shall be transferred to Buyer with any transfer costs paid by the applicable tenant or Seller.

(e) If any errors or omissions are made regarding adjustments and prorations as set forth above, the parties shall make the appropriate corrections promptly upon the discovery thereof, provided the same are discovered within nine (9) months after the Closing Date; or, with respect to property taxes, sixty (60) days after receipt by Buyer and Seller of the tax bill for the year of Closing. Any error or omission not discovered during that period shall not thereafter be subject to adjustment. Any net debit or credit resulting from such recomputation shall be paid promptly. The provisions of this Section shall survive the Closing.

ARTICLE IX

FAILURE TO PERFORM

9.1 Defective Title or Condition. If Seller is unable to give title or to make conveyance of the Property, or if Seller is then otherwise in default hereunder, provided that Buyer has complied with all of its obligations hereunder, Buyer may elect, as its sole and exclusive remedy therefor, by written notice given to Seller at or before the Closing Date either (a) to accept such title as Seller can deliver to the Property in its then condition and to pay the full Purchase Price therefor, or (b) to declare Seller to be in default under this Agreement upon which Escrow Agent shall return the Deposit to Buyer and this Agreement shall be null and void and without further force or effect, or (c) if Seller has purposefully refused to convey the Property to Buyer, to seek specific performance of Seller’s obligations under this Agreement provided, however, that if specific performance is not available to Buyer as a result of any action taken by Seller, Seller shall reimburse Buyer for its actual out-of-pocket expenses related to the negotiation of this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby and Buyer’s due diligence up to a maximum amount of $25,000. If Buyer does not give Seller notice and commence a suit for specific performance within thirty (30) days of the scheduled Closing Date, Buyer shall be deemed to have waived its right to seek specific performance hereunder.

9.2 Casualty or Taking. Where the Property does not conform to the requirements of this Agreement due to casualty or taking, then,

(a) if the Property shall have been damaged by fire or casualty, Seller shall, unless Seller has previously restored the Property to its former condition, pay over or assign to Buyer, at the Closing, all amounts recovered or recoverable on account of Seller’s property insurance, less any amounts reasonably expended by Seller for partial restoration and an amount equal to Seller’s property insurance deductible; provided, however, (1) if the cost to restore the Property is in excess of $1,000,000, or (2) such casualty would give a tenant at the Property the right to terminate its lease (and such right is not waived in writing), or (3) such casualty is an uninsured (or underinsured, as determined by Buyer in its reasonable opinion) loss (and Seller elects not to credit Buyer with the amount of such uninsured or underinsured loss), or (4) Seller’s insurance company fails to recognize Buyer as a permitted assignee of amounts recoverable under such insurance (and Seller elects not to credit Buyer with such amounts), then Buyer shall have the option (i) to terminate this Agreement by delivering notice of such election to the Seller within ten (10) days of receipt of notice of such casualty upon which Escrow Agent shall return the Deposit to Buyer and this Agreement shall be null and void and without further force and effect, or (ii) to elect to close, in which event Seller shall pay over or assign to Buyer such amounts recovered or recoverable on account of such insurance and an amount equal to Seller’s property insurance deductible as set forth above; and

(b) if any portion of the Property shall have been taken by exercise of the power of eminent domain, the value of which is in excess of $1,000,000, or which would give a tenant at the Property the right to terminate its lease (and such right is not waived in writing), which would reduce the parking at the Property, which would render the Property in violation of, or legally non-conforming with respect to, any zoning ordinance

 

17


or regulation, or which would materially and adversely affect access to the Property, Buyer shall have the option to (i) terminate this Agreement by delivering notice of such election to Seller within ten (10) days of receipt of notice of such taking upon which Escrow Agent shall return the Deposit to Buyer and this Agreement shall be null and void and without further force or effect or (ii) elect to close, in which event Seller shall pay over or assign to Buyer, at the Closing, all awards recovered or recoverable on account of such taking, less any amounts reasonably expended by Seller in obtaining such award.

9.3 Buyer’s Default. THE PARTIES ACKNOWLEDGE THAT IN THE EVENT THE SALE IS NOT CONSUMMATED BECAUSE OF A DEFAULT UNDER THIS AGREEMENT ON THE PART OF BUYER IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO COMPUTE EXACTLY THE DAMAGE THAT SELLER WOULD SUFFER DUE TO SUCH FAILURE. THE PARTIES HAVE TAKEN THESE FACTS INTO ACCOUNT IN SETTING THE AMOUNT OF THE DEPOSIT HEREUNDER AND AGREE THAT: (I) THE DEPOSIT IS THE BEST ESTIMATE OF THE DAMAGE SELLER WOULD SUFFER; (II) THE DEPOSIT REPRESENTS DAMAGE AND NOT ANY PENALTY AGAINST BUYER; AND (III) IF THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE TERMINATED BY SELLER BECAUSE OF A DEFAULT UNDER THIS AGREEMENT BY BUYER, THE ESCROW AGENT SHALL PAY THE DEPOSIT TO SELLER AS ITS FULL AND LIQUIDATED DAMAGES IN LIEU OF ANY ADDITIONAL RECOVERY ON ACCOUNT OF BUYER’S DEFAULT. THE FOREGOING IS NOT INTENDED TO LIMIT ANY INDEMNITY OBLIGATIONS OF BUYER CONTAINED HEREIN AND SELLER RESERVES THE RIGHT TO SEEK REDRESS FROM THE BUYER FOR ANY BREACH OF SUCH OBLIGATIONS.

ARTICLE X

BROKERAGE

10.1 Brokerage Fees. Seller and Buyer mutually represent and warrant that CBRE, Inc. (the “Broker”) is the only broker with whom they have dealt in connection with this purchase and sale and that neither Seller nor Buyer knows of any other broker who has claimed or may have the right to claim a commission in connection with this purchase and sale. Seller and Buyer shall indemnify and defend each other against any costs, claims or expenses, including attorneys’ fees, arising out of the breach on their respective parts of any representations, warranties or agreements contained in this Section. The representations and obligations under this Section shall survive the Closing or, if the Closing does not occur, the termination of this Agreement.

20

AT THE CLOSING, BUYER SHALL ASSUME THE RISK THAT ADVERSE MATTERS, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO, CONSTRUCTION DEFECTS AND ADVERSE PHYSICAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS, MAY NOT HAVE BEEN REVEALED BY BUYER’S INVESTIGATIONS, AND BUYER, UPON CLOSING, EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY OTHERWISE PROVIDED HEREIN, SHALL BE DEEMED TO HAVE WAIVED, RELINQUISHED AND RELEASED SELLER (AND SELLER’S OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, SHAREHOLDERS, EMPLOYEES AND AGENTS) FROM AND AGAINST ANY AND ALL CLAIMS, DEMANDS, CAUSES OF ACTION (INCLUDING CAUSES OF ACTION IN TORT), LOSSES, DAMAGES, LIABILITIES, COSTS AND EXPENSES (INCLUDING ATTORNEYS’ FEES AND COURT COSTS) OF ANY AND EVERY KIND OR CHARACTER, KNOWN OR UNKNOWN, WHICH BUYER MIGHT HAVE ASSERTED OR ALLEGED AGAINST SELLER (AND SELLER’S OFFICERS,

ARTICLE XIII

MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

13.1 No Assignment. This Agreement and the rights of Buyer hereunder may not be transferred or assigned in whole or in part to any other party, whether by voluntary action or by judicial order; provided, however, Buyer may, without Seller’s consent, assign this Agreement to (i) an entity that is directly controlled by Buyer or its principals or a nominee of such entity or (ii) an entity controlled by one or more of the institutional investors for which Buyer or one of its affiliates is then acting as investment manager (a

 

22


Separate Account”) or a nominee of a Separate Account. Buyer shall notify Seller of an assignment which does not require Seller’s consent at least five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing Date. No assignment shall relieve Buyer of any of its obligations under this Agreement.

13.2 Integration. This Agreement embodies and constitutes the entire understanding between the parties with respect to the transaction contemplated herein, and all prior agreements, understandings, representations and statements, oral or written, are merged into this Agreement. Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, modified, amended, discharged or terminated except by an instrument signed by the party against whom the enforcement of such waiver, modification, amendment, discharge or termination is sought, and then only to the extent set forth in such instrument.

13.3 Confidentiality.

(a) All information (collectively, “Inspection Material”) acquired by Buyer or any employee, officer, director, shareholder, owner, affiliate, agent or representative of a party (collectively, such party’s “Representatives”) with respect to the Property, whether delivered by Seller or any of its Representatives or obtained by Buyer as a result of its inspection of the Property, examination of Seller’s files or otherwise shall be used solely for the purpose of determining whether or not the Property is suitable for Buyer’s purposes and for no other reason. All Inspection Material shall be kept in strict confidence and shall not be disclosed to any individual or entity other than those Representatives of Buyer who need to know the information for the purpose of assisting Buyer in making such determination, it being understood and agreed by Buyer that such Representatives shall be informed by Buyer of the confidential nature of the Inspection Material and that Buyer shall cause them to treat such information confidentially. Without limiting the foregoing, the Inspection Material will not be used by Buyer in any way detrimental to the Seller or any tenant or occupant of the Property and will be used solely for the purpose of evaluating a possible acquisition of the Property by Buyer. Without the prior written consent of Seller, Buyer will not, and will direct all of its Representatives not to, disclose to any individual or entity either the fact that discussions or negotiations are taking place concerning any possible purchase of the Property or any of the terms, conditions or other facts with respect thereto, including the status thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller acknowledges that Buyer may release the material terms of this transaction, including without limited to this Agreement for Purchase and Sale, solely to satisfy its 8-K Filing requirement.

(b) Buyer will indemnify and hold Seller harmless from and against any and all loss, liability, cost, damage or expense Seller may suffer or incur as a result of the disclosure of any Inspection Material to any individual or entity other than an appropriate Representative of Buyer and/or the use of any Inspection Material by Buyer or any Representative thereof for any purpose other than as herein provided.

 

23


(c) If Buyer shall elect to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Article III hereof or if the Closing shall fail to take place for any other reason whatsoever, Buyer will, promptly following Seller’s request therefor, return to Seller all Inspection Material in the possession of Buyer or any of its Representatives and destroy all copies, notes or extracts thereof as well as all copies of any analyses, compilations, studies or other documents prepared by Buyer or for its use (whether in written form or contained in database or other similar form) containing or reflecting any Inspection Material. The delivery or redelivery of the Inspection Material, as the case may be, to Seller shall not relieve Buyer of its obligations hereunder. It is understood and agreed that with respect to any provision of this Agreement which refers to the termination of this Agreement and the return of the Deposit to Buyer, such Deposit shall not be returned to Buyer unless and until Buyer has fulfilled its obligation to return to Seller the materials described in the preceding sentence.

(d) In the event of a breach or threatened breach by Buyer or its Representatives of this Section 13.3, Seller shall be entitled to an injunction restraining Buyer or its Representatives from disclosing, in whole or in part, any Inspection Material. Nothing herein shall be construed as prohibiting Seller from pursuing any other available remedy at law or in equity for such breach or threatened breach. The provisions of this Section 13.3 shall not survive the Closing, but shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding the prior termination of this Agreement pursuant to any right of termination granted herein or otherwise.

13.4 Public Disclosure. Except as set forth in Section 13.3 above, any release to the public of information with respect to the sale contemplated herein or any matters set forth in this Agreement will be made only in the form approved by Buyer and Seller and their respective counsel; provided, however, that in the event of a Closing hereunder, the foregoing shall only be applicable to the Purchase Price and the identity of the investors in Seller.

13.5 No Recording. Buyer agrees that neither this Agreement nor any memorandum thereof may be recorded and that any such recordation shall, at Seller’s election, relieve Seller of any obligation to convey the Property to Buyer.

13.6 Captions. The captions in this Agreement are inserted for convenience of reference only and in no way define, describe or limit the scope or intent of this Agreement or any of the provisions hereof.

13.7 Drafts. This Agreement shall not be binding or effective until properly executed and delivered by both Seller and Buyer.

13.8 Number and Gender. As used in this Agreement, the masculine shall include the feminine and neuter, the singular shall include the plural and the plural shall include the singular, as the context may require.

 

24


13.9 Business Day. In the event that the date for delivery of any notice or the performance by any party of any obligation of such party under this Agreement, including, without limitation, the expiration date of the Property Inspection Period or the Closing, shall occur on a Saturday, Sunday or other legal holiday recognized in Massachusetts or in the municipality or county in which the Premises is located (a “Non-business Day”), the time for delivery of such notice or performance of such obligation shall be the next day which is not a Non-business Day (a “Business Day”).

13.10 Attachments. If the provisions of any schedule or rider to this Agreement are inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement, the provisions of such schedule or rider shall prevail. All attached schedules are hereby incorporated as integral parts of this Agreement.

13.11 Records. Buyer shall cooperate with Seller for a period of one (1) years after Closing by allowing Seller and its agents or representatives access, upon reasonable advance notice (which notice shall identify the nature of the information sought by Seller), at all reasonable times to examine and make copies of any and all instruments, files and records transferred to Buyer in connection with this Agreement, which right shall survive the Closing. Seller shall provide reasonable access to its books and records with respect to the Property to Buyer and its auditors for a period of ninety (90) days after Closing.

13.12 Further Assurances. Each party agrees that it will without further consideration execute and deliver such other documents and take such other action, whether prior or subsequent to Closing, as may be reasonably requested by the other party to consummate more effectively the purposes or subject matter of this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Buyer shall, if requested by Seller, execute acknowledgments of receipt with respect to any materials delivered by Seller to Buyer with respect to the Property. The provisions of this Section shall survive Closing.

13.13 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, and all such executed counterparts shall constitute the same agreement. It shall be necessary to account for only one such counterpart in proving this Agreement so long as the intent of the parties can be reasonably accomplished thereby.

13.14 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement shall nonetheless remain in full force and effect.

13.15 Limited Liability. Neither the members, managers, officers, employees, partners, advisors or agents of Seller, nor the shareholders, officers, directors, employees or agents of any of them, shall be liable under this Agreement and all parties shall look solely to the assets of Seller for the payment of any claim or the performance of any obligation by Seller. Neither the members, managers, officers, employees, partners, advisors or agents of Buyer, nor the shareholders, officers, directors, employees or agents

of any of them shall be liable under this Agreement, and all parties shall look solely to the assets of buyer for the payment of any claim or the performance of any obligation by Buyer.

 

25


13.16 No Third Party Beneficiaries. The provisions of this Agreement and of the documents to be executed and delivered at Closing are and will be for the benefit of Seller and Buyer only and are not for the benefit of any third party. Accordingly, no third party shall have the right to enforce the provisions of this Agreement or of the documents to be executed and delivered at Closing.

13.17 Construction. The parties acknowledge that the parties and their counsel have reviewed and revised this Agreement and that the normal rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall not be employed in the interpretation of this Agreement or any exhibits or amendments hereto.

13.18 Termination of Agreement. It is understood and agreed that if either Buyer or Seller terminates this Agreement pursuant to a right of termination granted hereunder, such termination shall operate to relieve Seller and Buyer from all obligations under this Agreement, except for such obligations as are specifically stated herein to survive the termination of this Agreement.

13.19 Merger. Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement, the delivery of the deed by Seller, and the acceptance thereof by Buyer, shall be deemed the full performance and discharge of every obligation on the part of Seller to be performed hereunder.
