NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the promises, covenants, representations and warranties hereinafter set forth, the sum of One Hundred Dollars ($100.00) and other good and valuable consideration in hand paid by Seller to Buyer and by Buyer to Seller as of the Effective Date, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged by each of the parties hereto, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:
1. Deadlines and Definitions.
1.1 Deadlines. Wherever used in this Agreement, the following terms shall have the meanings set forth below:
Closing Deadline shall mean January 16, 2013; provided, however, that Seller will use all commercially reasonable efforts to have the Contracts terminated as soon as reasonably possible and, if Seller is able to have all the Contracts terminated earlier than the Closing Deadline, Seller will notify Buyer promptly and Buyer may designate for Closing, upon not less than two (2) Business Days prior written notice to Seller, any date thereafter that is on or before the Closing Deadline.
Due Diligence Deadline shall mean 6:00 p.m. local Dallas, Texas time on January 14, 2013.

3.1 Deposit. On or before 5:00 p.m. Eastern time on November 27, 2012, Buyer shall make the Deposit in immediately available funds with Escrow Agent. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, if Buyer fails to timely make the Deposit as provided herein, at Sellers option, Buyer shall be deemed to have elected to Terminate this Agreement and, if Seller elects such option, the parties shall have no further rights or obligations hereunder except for obligations which expressly survive the termination of this Agreement. Except as expressly otherwise set forth herein, the Deposit shall be applied against the Purchase Price on the Closing Date and shall otherwise be held and delivered by Escrow Agent in accordance with the Deposit Escrow Agreement.
3.2 Cash at Closing. Buyer shall pay to Seller the Purchase Price, subject to the credits, prorations and adjustments set forth herein, and, as a portion of such payment, Buyer may authorize and direct Escrow Agent to simultaneously pay the Deposit to Seller, such payment to be made in cash by federal reserve bank wire transfer to such account and bank as Seller shall designate in writing to Buyer at or prior to Closing to be confirmed received in Sellers account on or before 1:00 p.m. local New York, New York time on the Closing Date.
4. Buyers Due Diligence and Inspection Rights; Termination Right.
4.1 Review of Property and Property Documents. Until Closing, and subject to the terms of Section 4.2, Seller shall provide Buyer and Buyers Representatives with access to the Property upon reasonable prior notice at reasonable times during business hours, and to the Property Documents, with the right and license to conduct Due Diligence with respect to the Property. If Buyer terminates the Agreement in accordance with Section 4.5 and Seller delivers a written notice to Buyer requesting copies of Buyers Diligence Reports, then Buyer shall deliver to Seller copies of the final or most recent versions of all of Buyers Diligence Reports (excluding any attorney-client privileged communications or internally generated work product) within ten (10) days of receipt by Buyer of Sellers notice as aforesaid, but with no liability for the accuracy thereof and without any representations or warranties whatsoever.
4.2 Guidelines for Inspection Rights. Buyers rights to conduct Due Diligence shall be subject to the following further requirements: (a) Due Diligence shall be
conducted so as not to unreasonably interfere with the use, occupancy and operation of the Property or the rights of the current occupant, Bank of America; (b) Due Diligence may only be performed during normal business hours and Buyer must provide Seller with at least twenty-four (24) hours prior written notice of its intent to perform Due Diligence on the Property; provided, that, for purposes of this Section 4.2, such notice may be given by telephone or e-mail to Jonathan Jay Taylor (817-439-4148) or jonathan.taylor@bankofamerica.com; (c) Seller shall have the right (subject to Seller making a person available) to have a representative of Seller present during any entry upon the Property by Buyer or any Buyers Representative; (d) Buyer shall not contact any tenant; (e) Buyer shall not contact any Contract party without Sellers prior written consent, granted or withheld in Sellers sole and absolute discretion (and if any consent is granted such consent shall be subject to such reasonable conditions as Seller may impose); (f) Seller or its designated representative shall have the right to pre-approve, and the right (subject to Seller making a person available) to be present during, any physical inspections or testing of the Property (which shall not include any invasive sampling, boring, testing, or analysis of soils, surface water or groundwater at the Property without Sellers prior written consent, granted or withheld in Sellers sole and absolute discretion and if any consent is granted such consent shall be subject to such reasonable conditions as Seller may impose; provided that Buyer shall be permitted to conduct a so-called Phase I environmental site assessment of the Property and such indoor air sampling and radon sampling as Buyer deems necessary or desirable without obtaining Sellers consent as aforesaid, but with such indoor sampling to be conducted only at times approved in advance by Seller, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld); and (f) Buyer shall promptly repair any damage or injury to the Property caused by Buyer or any Buyers Representative and Buyer shall return the Property to substantially the same condition as existed immediately prior to any tests or inspections conducted by Buyer or any Buyers Representative. Prior to such time as Buyer or any of Buyers Representatives enter the Property, Buyer shall (i) have or obtain policies of commercial general liability insurance (written on an occurrence, not claims made, basis) covering the entry onto the Property by, and all activities on the Property of, Buyer and Buyers Representatives with liability insurance limits of not less than $2,000,000 combined single limit for personal injury and property damage and name Seller and Sellers Property Manager as additional insureds and that are with such insurance companies, provide such coverages and carry such other limits as Seller may reasonably require, and (ii) provide Seller with certificates of insurance evidencing that Buyer has obtained the aforementioned policies of insurance. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, except in connection with the preparation of a so-called Phase I environmental report and/or the issuance of a standard zoning letter, zoning report and/or departmental search, neither Buyer nor any Buyers Representative shall contact any governmental official or representative regarding the Property, including, but not limited to, the environmental condition of the Property or the status of compliance of the Property with zoning, building code or similar Laws, without Sellers prior written consent thereto, which consent may be withheld in Sellers sole and absolute discretion. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, if Buyers Phase I environmental report recommends additional testing or investigations and Seller refuses to consent to the same, then, if Buyer terminates this Agreement after Seller refuses to provide such consent, Seller shall reimburse Buyer for all out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Buyer in connection with this Agreement in an amount up to $250,000, which obligation shall survive any such termination of this Agreement. In addition, if Sellers consent is obtained by Buyer, Seller shall
be entitled to receive at least two (2) days prior written notice of the intended contact and Seller shall have the right (subject to Seller making a person available) to have a representative present when Buyer has any such contact with any governmental official or representative.
4.3 Title and Survey Examination. Seller has delivered to Buyer a Title Commitment for the Property and a Survey of the Property.
A. Title and Survey Objections. Buyer shall have until the date which is five (5) Business Days prior to the Due Diligence Deadline (the Title Objection Deadline) to notify Seller in writing of any Title Objections; any such notice shall be accompanied by the Title Commitment and Survey (if not previously obtained by Seller) and any other materials which evidence or disclose such objections to title. If Buyer fails to notify Seller of any Title Objections on or before the Title Objection Deadline, then, notwithstanding any other provisions set forth herein, such failure to notify Seller shall constitute a waiver of such right to object to such matters identified in the Title Commitment or shown on the Survey as of the Title Objection Deadline, but shall not constitute a waiver of the right to object to so-called gap defects under Section 4.3D.
B. Cure of Title Matters. At Closing, if this Agreement is not Terminated, Seller shall Remove or cause to be Removed any Title Objections to the extent (and only to the extent) that the same constitute Required Removal Items, provided that Seller shall not be required to bring any action or institute any proceeding to effect such Removal. In addition, Seller may elect (but shall not be obligated) to Remove or cause to be Removed any other Title Objections, and, with respect thereto, Seller shall notify Buyer in writing on or before the Title Cure Response Deadline whether Seller elects to Remove the same (and the failure to provide such notice on or before the Title Cure Deadline shall be deemed to constitute an election of Seller not to effect any such cure); if Seller elects to remove any other Title Objections, such obligation to remove shall be included in the Required Removal Items. Seller may use any portion of the Purchase Price to satisfy any Required Removal Items that exist as of Closing, provided such payment causes the Title Company to Remove the same.
C. Buyers Right To Terminate. If Seller does not elect to cure all of Buyers Title Objections in a written notice delivered to Buyer in accordance with Section 4.3B, then Buyer may Terminate this Agreement by written notice to Seller prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period. Failure of Buyer to respond in writing within such period shall be deemed an election by Buyer to waive such Title Objections and proceed to Closing. Any such Title Objection so waived (or deemed waived) by Buyer shall be deemed to constitute a Permitted Title Exception and the Closing shall occur as herein provided without any reduction of or credit against the Purchase Price. If Seller fails to cure any Required Removal Items (including, without limitation, any Title Objections which Seller elects to cure in accordance with Section 4.3B) on or before the Closing Date, then Buyer may Terminate this Agreement by written notice to Seller on or before the Closing Date. If Buyer Terminates the Agreement in accordance with this Section 4.3C, then the Deposit shall be returned to Buyer and neither party shall have any further rights or obligations under this Agreement except for those rights and obligations which expressly survive such termination.
D. Pre-Closing Gap Defects. Whether or not Buyer shall have furnished to Seller any notice of Title Objections before the Title Objection Deadline, Buyer may at or prior to Closing object to any matters first disclosed in any updated Title Commitment or shown on any revised Survey delivered to Buyer following the Title Objection Deadline by written notice given to Seller within two (2) Business Days following Buyers receipt of such updated Title Commitment or revised Survey; with respect to any Title Objections set forth in such notice, Buyer shall have the same rights as those which apply to any notice of defects in title resulting from a notice of title defects by Buyer on or before the Due Diligence Deadline and Seller shall have the same rights and obligations to cure the same at or prior to Closing. If necessary, the date for Closing shall be automatically extended (by not more than fifteen (15) days) to allow Seller to cure such pre-closing gap defects.
4.4 As-Is, Where-Is, With All Faults Sale. Because Buyer is to conduct such Due Diligence as Buyer deems necessary or appropriate prior to the Due Diligence Deadline and independently confirm to Buyers satisfaction all information that it considers material to its purchase of the Property or the Transaction, the Property shall be sold, and Buyer shall accept possession of the Property at Closing, AS IS, WHERE IS, WITH ALL FAULTS, with no right of setoff or reduction in the Purchase Price, but subject to all Sellers Warranties. Without limiting the foregoing, except for Sellers Warranties, none of the Seller Parties have or shall be deemed to have made any verbal or written representations, warranties, promises or guarantees (whether express, implied, statutory or otherwise) to Buyer with respect to the Property, any matter set forth in the Property Documents (including, but not limited to, the accuracy and completeness thereof) or the results of Buyers Due Diligence. Buyer acknowledges that, except for Sellers Warranties, all such information must be verified independently during Due Diligence. In addition, Buyer expressly understands and acknowledges that, except as otherwise expressly set forth in Sellers Warranties, the Property Documents made available to Buyer may not be complete in all respects and that Seller may not have complete information concerning the Property in Sellers possession or control. In addition, Buyer expressly understands and acknowledges that it is possible that unknown Liabilities may exist with respect to the Property and that Buyer explicitly took that possibility into account in determining and agreeing to the Purchase Price, and that a portion of such consideration, was bargained for between parties with the knowledge of the possibility of such unknown Liabilities. Notwithstanding the foregoing, such acknowledgment is not intended to, and shall not be construed to, (i) result in any contractual assumption of liability as to matters which are not expressly assumed by Buyer in the Closing Documents, or (ii) affect or impair any rights or remedies that Buyer may have against Seller as a result of a breach of any of Sellers Warranties or of any of Sellers Surviving Covenants. If Closing occurs, Buyer, on behalf of itself and its successors and assigns, agrees as follows:
A. Assumption of Ownership Liability. By Closing, but subject to the terms of the Bank Lease, Buyer agrees that, as of the Closing, it shall automatically assume the following: (a) any and all Liabilities attributable to the Property to the extent that the same arise or accrue on or after the Closing and are attributable to events or circumstances which arise or occur on or after the Closing; (b) except for Pre-Closing Claims, any and all Liabilities with respect to the structural, physical or environmental condition of the Property, whether such Liabilities are latent or patent, whether the same arise or accrue before, on or after the Closing,
and whether the same are attributable to events or circumstances which may arise or occur before, on or after the Closing, including, without limitation, all Environmental Liabilities (notwithstanding the foregoing, any tort or damage claims brought with respect to such Liabilities, to the extent that the same arises or accrues as a result of an injury that occurred prior to Closing, shall not be assumed by Buyer as a result of this clause (b) unless the same are caused by the acts or omissions of Buyer or any of Buyers Representatives; such claims are herein defined as Pre-Closing Claims); and (c) any and all Liabilities with respect to which Buyer receives a credit at Closing, but only to the extent of such credit. Seller shall remain liable and responsible for all any and all Liabilities attributable to the Property to the extent that the same arise or accrue before the Closing and are not expressly assumed by Buyer (including, without limitation, all Pre-Closing Claims). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the foregoing release and waiver is not intended and shall not be construed as affecting or impairing any rights or remedies that Buyer may have against Seller with respect to (i) a breach of any of Sellers Warranties, or (ii) a breach of any of Sellers Surviving Covenants, nor as affecting or impairing any rights or remedies that Buyer may have against the Tenant under the Bank Lease.
B. Release. By Closing, Buyer, on behalf of itself and its successors and assigns, agrees that it automatically thereby releases each of the Seller Parties (other than the Tenant with respect to its obligations under the Lease) from, and waives any and all Liabilities that Buyer or its successors and assigns might have against each of the Seller Parties (other than the Tenant with respect to its obligations under the Lease) for, attributable to, or in connection with the Property, whether arising or accruing before, on or after the Closing and whether attributable to events or circumstances which arise or occur before, on or after the Closing, including, without limitation, the following: (a) any and all statements or opinions heretofore or hereafter made, or information furnished, by any Seller Parties to Buyer or any Buyers Representatives; (b) any and all Liabilities with respect to the structural, physical, or environmental condition of the Property, including, without limitation, all Environmental Liabilities; and (c) any implied or statutory warranties or guaranties of fitness, merchantability or any other statutory or implied warranty or guaranty of any kind or nature regarding or relating to any portion of the Property. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the foregoing release and waiver is not intended and shall not be construed as affecting or impairing any rights or remedies that Buyer may have against Seller with respect to (i) a breach of any of Sellers Warranties, or (ii) a breach of any of Sellers Surviving Covenants, nor as affecting or impairing any rights or remedies that Buyer may have against the Tenant under the Bank Lease.
C. Survival. The provisions of this Section 4.4 shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. The provisions of this Section 4.4 shall be deemed reaffirmed by Seller and Buyer by delivery and acceptance of the Deed and shall survive the Closing.
4.5 Termination Right. If Buyer, in its sole and absolute discretion, for any reason or for no reason whatsoever, determines not to proceed with the Transaction or is not satisfied with any matters relating to the Property, Buyer may Terminate this Agreement by written notice to Seller at any time prior to the Due Diligence Deadline, in which event Buyer shall be entitled to the return of the Deposit. If Buyer has not delivered to Seller a termination notice as aforesaid by the Due Diligence Deadline, then Buyer shall be deemed to have accepted
the condition of the Property (subject to all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including, without limitation, the conditions to Closing set forth in Section 10) and Buyer shall thereafter have no right to Terminate this Agreement on account of such Due Diligence termination right under this Section 4.5. If after the Due Diligence Deadline Buyer conducts further Due Diligence, Buyer acknowledges and agrees that Buyer shall have no further right to Terminate this Agreement with respect to such further Due Diligence or otherwise in accordance with this Section 4.5 after the Due Diligence Deadline.
5. Sellers Covenants. Seller agrees that between the Effective Date and the Closing Date:
5.1 Title Documents, Leases and Contracts. Without Buyers prior written consent, which consent may be granted or withheld by Buyer in its sole and absolute discretion (except in circumstances where Sellers consent to the same may not be unreasonably withheld, in which case Buyers consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), Seller shall not:
A. Transfer or further alter or encumber in any way Sellers title to the Property as it exists as of the Effective Date.
B. Enter into any new lease.
C. Extend, renew, replace or otherwise modify any Contract or enter into any new service contract or agreement, except that any Contract, new service contract or agreement that will not be binding upon Buyer or the Property after the Closing shall not require Buyers prior written consent.
If Buyer fails to object in writing to any such instrument proposed under this Section 5.1 within three (3) Business Days after receipt of the aforementioned notice, Buyer shall be deemed to have rejected the proposed instrument. Seller shall promptly provide Buyer with true, correct and complete copies of any such instrument entered into by Seller.
5.2 Not used.
5.3 Status of Property. Between the Effective Date and Closing Seller shall maintain and keep the Property in a manner consistent with Sellers past practices with respect to the Property; provided, however, that Buyer hereby agrees that Buyer shall accept the Property subject to, and Seller shall have no obligation to cure or correct any conditions or alleged defects discovered by Buyer in the course of its inspections of the Property or thereafter, including but not limited to (a) any violations of Laws, or (b) any physical conditions that would give rise to violations of Laws, whether the same now exist or arise prior to Closing, except only to the extent that a physical condition of the Property was changed by Seller after the Due Diligence Deadline in a manner that results in a violation of Law. Between the Effective Date and the Closing Date, Seller will notify Buyer of any written notice Seller receives after the Effective Date from (i) any governmental authority of any violation or alleged of any Laws regulating the condition or use of the Property or (ii) any third party of any violation or alleged violation of any Record Exceptions.
5.4 Tax Appeals. Seller shall have the right to continue and to control the progress of and to make all decisions with respect to any contest of the real estate taxes and personal property taxes for the Property due and payable during all Tax Years prior to the Closing Tax Year. Subject to the terms of the Bank Lease, Seller and Buyer shall jointly control the contest of the real estate taxes and personal property taxes for the Property due and payable for the Closing Tax Year, and neither party shall settle any such contest without the prior written consent of the other party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Buyer shall have the right to control the progress of and to make all decisions with respect to any tax contest of the real estate taxes and personal property taxes for the Property due and payable during all Tax Years subsequent to the Closing Tax Year. Any refunds or credits received after Closing attributable to any period prior to the Closing Tax Year, shall be paid to Seller and any refunds or credits received after Closing attributable to any period after the Closing Tax Year shall be paid to Buyer. All real estate and personal property tax refunds and credits received after Closing with respect to the Closing Tax Year shall be applied in the following order of priority: first, to pay the costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys fees, expenses and disbursements) incurred in connection with obtaining such tax refund or credit and then apportioned between Buyer and Seller in the manner provided in Section 7.1. Buyer and Seller agree to cooperate with each other and to execute any and all documents reasonably requested in furtherance of the foregoing. The provisions of this Section shall survive the Closing.
5.5 Contracts. Seller has entered into the Contracts set forth on Exhibit M. None of the Contracts set forth on Exhibit M are to be assumed by Buyer at Closing. To the extent permitted under the Contracts, Seller shall deliver the requisite notices of termination or in the alternative, notice of reduction of services for the Contracts to only apply with respect to the premises under the Bank Lease, to those vendors that relate to the operation of the Property and not solely to the premises occupied by Sellers affiliate under the Bank Lease on or before the Closing Date. In the event that one or more of the Contracts have not been effectively terminated as of the Closing Date to the reasonable satisfaction of both Buyer and Seller (the Post-Closing Contracts), Seller indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Buyer from all costs, expenses, losses or damages arising out of or in connection with such Post-Closing Contracts.
6. Closing.
6.1 Closing Mechanics. Buyer and Seller shall conduct an escrow-style closing through Escrow Agent so that it will not be necessary for any party to attend the Closing (Buyer and Seller shall finalize and sign all documents not later than the day prior to Closing, and deliver such items into escrow for Closing).

Buyer has the full power and authority to enter into this Agreement and the execution and delivery of this Agreement by Buyer (i) has been duly and validly authorized by all necessary action on the part of Buyer, (ii) to the knowledge of the officer of Buyer signing this Agreement, does not conflict with or result in a violation of Buyers Articles of Incorporation or By-Laws or any judgment, order or decree of any court or arbiter in any proceeding to which Buyer is a party, and (iii) to the knowledge of the officer of Buyer signing this Agreement, does not conflict with or constitute a material breach of, or constitute a material default under, any contract, agreement or other instrument by which Buyer is bound or to which it is a party. There are no lawsuits pending against Buyer or, to Buyers knowledge, threatened, the outcome of which could adversely affect Buyers ability to purchase the Property or otherwise perform its obligations under this Agreement.
B. Enforceability. Upon the execution and delivery of this Agreement and each document to be executed and delivered by Buyer hereunder, this Agreement and each such document shall constitute the valid and binding obligation and agreement of Buyer, enforceable against Buyer in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws of general application affecting the rights and remedies of creditors.
C. No Bankruptcy. Buyer has not (A) commenced a voluntary case, or had entered against it a petition, for relief under any federal bankruptcy act or any similar petition, order or decree under any federal or state Law relative to bankruptcy, insolvency or other relief for debtors, (B) caused, suffered or consented to the appointment of a receiver, trustee, administrator, conservator, liquidator or similar official in any federal, state or foreign judicial or non-judicial proceeding, to hold, administer and/or liquidate all or substantially all of its assets, or (C) made an assignment for the benefit of creditors.
D. Economic Sanctions Compliance.

If after the Effective Date and prior to the Closing Date, any portion of the improvements is damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty, or there shall be commenced or instituted against the Property any Condemnation Proceeding, Seller shall promptly give written notice of such event to Buyer, and the following provisions shall apply notwithstanding the contrary terms of any applicable Laws with respect to the subject matter of Section 9:
9.1 Major Event. If such damage or destruction results in a casualty loss in excess of $5,000,000.00, as reasonably determined by Seller, or if such Condemnation Proceeding would result in the taking of a portion of the Property worth in excess of $2,500,000.00, as reasonably determined by Seller, or if such damage or destruction or Condemnation would entitle the Tenant to exercise any right or remedy (including, without limitation, any right to an abatement) under the Bank Lease (unless the Tenant under the Bank Lease executes and delivers to Buyer, within five (5) Business Days after Sellers notice to Buyer of the event, a waiver of any abatement rights under the Bank Lease which are not covered by Buyers insurance proceeds and a waiver of any termination rights under the Bank Lease with respect to the applicable event), then Buyer shall have the right to Terminate this Agreement by written notice to Seller given no later than ten (10) Business Days after the giving of Sellers notice of such event, in which event any Deposit shall be returned to Buyer, and the Closing Date shall be extended, if necessary, to provide sufficient time for Buyer to make such election. The failure by Buyer to so elect in writing to Terminate this Agreement within such period shall be deemed an election not to Terminate this Agreement.
9.2 Closing Despite Casualty/Condemnation. If a casualty or Condemnation Proceeding occurs and Buyer shall not, or has no right to, Terminate this Agreement on account thereof, then at Closing (a) the conveyance of the Property shall be less such portion of the Property so taken by (or, as applicable, shall be subject to) said Condemnation Proceeding, without adjustment of the Purchase Price, (b) Seller shall assign to Buyer (without recourse to Seller) all the rights to all awards or insurance proceeds with respect to such casualty or Condemnation Proceeding (except for business interruption coverage with respect to Rental Payments prior to Closing), (c) Seller shall provide a credit at Closing equal to (i) Sellers deductible under Sellers insurance policy, plus all proceeds or awards previously paid to Seller with respect to such casualty or Condemnation Proceeding, less (ii) an amount equal to the sum of (A) the costs, expenses and fees, including reasonable attorneys fees, expenses and disbursements, reasonably incurred by Seller in connection with such casualty or Condemnation Proceeding, (B) any portion of any Condemnation Proceeding award that is allocable to loss of use of the Property prior to Closing, and the proceeds of any rental loss, business interruption or similar insurance to the extent allocable to the period prior to the Closing Date, and (C) the reasonable and actual costs incurred by Seller in stabilizing and/or repairing the Property following a casualty (and to the extent the sum of the items in (ii) is greater than the items in (i), Buyer shall pay such excess to Seller within one (1) Business Day after receipt of such awards or proceeds after Closing). Sellers obligations under this Section 9.2 shall survive the Closing.
10. Other Conditions to Closing. The obligation of Buyer and Seller to close the Transaction shall be further subject to the satisfaction at or prior to Closing of the conditions precedent set forth in this Section.

B. Title Policy. At Closing, Buyer shall have received such conveyance of title to the Real Property as will enable the Title Company to issue the Title Policy (or a specimen or proforma policy thereof or marked Title Commitment) to Buyer, and the Title Company shall be irrevocably committed to issuing the Title Policy to Buyer, insuring that fee simple title to the Real Property is vested in Buyer, subject only to the Permitted Title Exceptions and consistent with Section 4.3 hereof.

Without limiting the foregoing, Buyer shall hold, and shall cause the Buyers Representatives and any prospective investors in Buyer to hold in confidence and not disclose to any other person without the prior written consent of Seller, the terms of this Agreement and, unless and until the Closing occurs, any of the information in the Property Documents. The foregoing shall not preclude either party from (a) discussing the substance or any relevant details of the transactions contemplated in this Agreement with any of its representatives as described above, or (b) from complying with any Laws applicable to such party, including, without limitation, governmental regulatory, disclosure, tax and reporting requirements, or, at and after Closing, issuing or causing the issuance of a press or media release or other information in the nature of a press release relating to this Agreement or the Transaction, provided, however, that such release has received the prior written approval of the other party as to the exact text of such press release and of the extent of distribution thereof. Without limiting the foregoing, and notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, Buyer may disclose information related to this Agreement and/or the transactions contemplated hereby (including, without limitation, information in the Property Documents) without Sellers prior approval, agreement or consent: (i) to the extent Buyer or its affiliates determine, in good faith in consultation with legal counsel, that such disclosure is required by applicable Law, or is otherwise advisable, or in connection with any filing by Buyer or its affiliates with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) or any stock exchange rule applicable to Buyer or its affiliates; (ii) to the extent Buyer or its affiliates determine, in good faith, in consultation with legal counsel, that such disclosure is required, or is otherwise advisable, in any prospectus, report or other filing made by Buyer or its affiliates with the SEC or any stock exchange or as is consistent with Buyers or its affiliates practices relating to the foregoing (including, without limitation, in any earnings releases, press releases or supplemental data in connection with the foregoing); or (iii) to Buyers or its affiliates underwriters, prospective underwriters, placement agents and prospective placement agents which are advised of its confidentiality and required by Buyer to maintain its confidentiality. Under no circumstances, except as required by applicable Law, shall Seller disclose the name of Buyer or its affiliates to any party other than Sellers Parties (who are required by Seller to maintain its confidentiality) without the prior written consent of Buyer, which consent may be granted or withheld by Buyer in its sole discretion. Buyer and Seller shall indemnify and hold the other harmless from and against any and all Liabilities suffered or incurred by the indemnified party and arising out of or in connection with a breach by Buyer or Seller, as the case may be, of the provisions of this Section. The indemnification obligations contained in this Section shall survive the Closing or the earlier termination of this Agreement.

The foregoing indemnity shall survive the Closing (and not be merged therein) or any earlier termination of this Agreement.
11.5 Information Regarding Economic Sanctions Compliance. No later than the earlier of (a) 10 Business Days after the Effective Date, or (b) the Due Diligence Deadline, Buyer agrees to provide documentation reasonably necessary or desirable for Seller to verify that the representations and warranties made in Section 8.5C are true, accurate and complete, which documentation shall include, without limitation, information regarding the ownership of Buyer and a list of any person or entity that directly or indirectly owns more than a 10% interest in Buyer, but only to the extent that such information is in Buyers possession or control and is otherwise readily available. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, Seller may disclose such information, without notice to Buyer, to any government agency or regulators in connection with any regulatory examination or if Seller reasonably believes that such disclosure is required by Law or its regulatory compliance policies.
12. Default At or Prior to Closing.
12.1 Buyer Default. If Buyer defaults in the observance or performance of its covenants and obligations hereunder, and such default continues for five (5) Business Days after the date of receipt of written notice from Seller demanding cure of such default, Seller shall be entitled, as its sole and exclusive remedy at law and/or in equity hereunder, to Terminate this Agreement by written notice to Buyer of such termination and to receive payment of the Deposit as full liquidated damages for such default of Buyer (and Escrow Agent shall deliver such payment within five (5) Business Days after such demand of Seller), the parties hereto acknowledging the difficulty of ascertaining the actual damages in the event of such a default, that it is impossible more precisely to estimate the damages to be suffered by Seller upon Buyers default, that such forfeiture of the Deposit is intended not as a penalty, but as full liquidated damages and that such amount constitutes a reasonable good faith estimate of the potential damages arising therefrom, it being otherwise difficult or impossible to estimate Sellers actual damages which would be suffered by Seller in the event of default by Buyer. Except with respect to any right, obligation or liability which survives Closing or termination of this Agreement, including any indemnification provisions set forth in this Agreement, Sellers right to Terminate this Agreement and receive payment of the Deposit as full liquidated damages, are Sellers sole and exclusive remedies in the event of default hereunder by Buyer, and Seller hereby waives, relinquishes and releases any and all other rights and remedies (except any that survive Closing or termination pursuant to the express provisions of this Agreement), including, but not limited to: (1) any right to sue Buyer for damages or to prove that Sellers actual damages exceed the Deposit which is hereby provided Seller as full liquidated damages,
(2) any right to sue Buyer for specific performance, or (3) any other right or remedy which Seller may otherwise have against Buyer, either at law, or equity or otherwise.
12.2 Seller Default. If Seller defaults in the observance or performance of its covenants and obligations hereunder (other than any breach of any of Sellers representations and warranties under this Agreement, the exclusive remedies for which are in Section 8.3), and such default continues for five (5) Business Days after the date of receipt of written notice from Buyer demanding cure of such default, Buyer shall be entitled either, at Buyers option, (i) without waiving the right to elect the option to Terminate this Agreement, to sue Seller for specific performance of this Agreement, but only if such suit is filed within sixty (60) days after the occurrence of Sellers alleged default, or (ii) to Terminate this Agreement by the delivery to Seller of notice of such termination and to receive the Deposit from Escrow Agent, following which Seller shall also reimburse Buyer for all out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Buyer in connection with this Agreement in an amount up to $250,000.00 (which obligation shall survive such termination). Except with respect to any right, obligation or liability which survives Closing or termination of this Agreement, including any indemnification provisions set forth in this Agreement, Buyers rights to so Terminate this Agreement or sue for specific performance, are Buyers sole and exclusive remedies hereunder in the event of default hereunder by Seller, and Buyer hereby waives, relinquishes and releases any and all other rights and remedies (except any that survive Closing or termination pursuant to the express provisions of this Agreement), including, but not limited to: (1) any right to sue for damages, or (2) any other right or remedy which Buyer may otherwise have against Seller either at law, in equity or otherwise. Buyer agrees that its failure to timely commence an action for specific performance within such the period noted above shall be deemed a waiver by it of its right to commence an action for specific performance as well as a waiver by it of any right it may have to file or record a notice of lis pendens or notice of pendency of action or similar notice against any portion of the Property.
13. Notices. All notices, consents, approvals and other communications which may be or are required to be given by either Seller or Buyer under this Agreement shall be properly given only if made in writing and sent by (a) hand delivery, or (b) certified mail, return receipt requested, or (c) a nationally recognized overnight delivery service (such as Federal Express, UPS Next Day Air or Airborne Express), or (d) by email to the email address listed below (provided that a copy of such notice is also delivered within two (2) Business Days to the party by one of the other methods listed herein), with all postage and delivery charges paid by the sender and addressed to Buyer or Seller, as applicable as set forth below, or at such other address as each may request in writing. Such notices delivered by hand, by email, or overnight delivery service shall be deemed received on the date of delivery and, if mailed, shall be deemed received upon the date of actual receipt. Attorneys for either party may give notices on behalf of the parties whom they represent. Said notice addresses are as follows (and Seller and Buyer shall have the right to designate changes to their respective notice addresses, effective five (5) days after the delivery of written notice thereof):
