(b) Intentionally Omitted.

(c) Buyer, on its own behalf and on behalf of the Waiver Parties, covenants and agrees never to sue or otherwise commence or prosecute any action or other proceeding against any of the Released Parties, for a claim released pursuant to this Agreement. The parties hereto agree that this Section 4.3(c) (the “Covenant Not to Sue”) may be pleaded by a Released Party as a full and complete defense to any action or proceeding by a Waiver Party that is contrary to the terms of the Release and may be asserted as a basis for abatement of, or injunction against, said action or proceeding and as a basis for a cross-complaint for damages therein. If a Waiver Party breaches the Covenant Not to Sue, any Released Party damaged thereby shall be entitled to recover from such Waiver Party not only the amount of any judgment which may be awarded in favor of such damaged Released Party, but also for such other actual damages, costs, and expenses as may be incurred by such damaged Released Party, including court costs, reasonable attorneys’ fees and all other costs and expenses, taxable or otherwise, in preparing the defense of, defending against, or seeking and obtaining abatement of, or injunction against, such action or proceeding, and establishing and maintaining the applicability of the Release and this Covenant Not to Sue. This Covenant Not to Sue shall survive the Closing and the recording of the Deed conveying the Property from Seller to Buyer.

(d) By accepting the Deed, Buyer shall thereby assume and take responsibility and liability for the following: (i) any and all conditions, losses, costs, damages, claims, liabilities, expenses, demands or obligations of any kind or nature whatsoever (collectively, “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; (ii) any and all Liabilities to the extent they relate 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 Liabilities with respect to Hazardous Materials; (iii) any and all Liabilities that arose or accrued prior to the Closing or are attributable to events which arose or occurred prior to the Closing, but only if Buyer is deemed to know about the same on or before the Closing (other than fines or penalties imposed against Seller by governmental agencies relating to the acts or omissions of Seller that occurred prior to Closing); and (iv) any and all Liabilities with respect to which Buyer receives a credit at Closing. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that the Liabilities to be assumed by Buyer pursuant to each of the foregoing clauses are intended to be independent of one another, so Buyer shall assume Liabilities described in each of the clauses even though some of those Liabilities may be read to be excluded by another clause.

Covenants

(a) Buyer shall indemnify Seller for any claim by any real estate broker or finder, other than Broker, purporting to have represented Buyer in connection with the purchase of the Property from Seller or this Agreement.

 

-15-


(b) Seller shall indemnify Buyer for any claim by any real estate broker or finder purporting to have represented Seller in connection with the sale of the Property to Buyer or this Agreement.

(c) Between the Agreement Date through the Closing Date, Seller shall not (i) amend the Lease or (ii) deliver any written notice to the tenant under the Lease regarding restoration requirements for the tenant’s improvements without first obtaining Buyer’s approval, which approval may be withheld in Buyer’s sole and absolute discretion. Buyer’s failure to deliver its approval or disapproval within five (5) business days after Seller’s request shall be deemed Buyer’s disapproval with respect to the lease amendment. A lease amendment that Buyer has expressly approved hereunder in accordance with the terms of this Section 6.1(b) shall be referred to herein as an “Approved Lease Change” and shall be included in the term “Lease” for purposes of this Agreement from and after the execution of such Approved Lease Change. Buyer shall pay all costs associated with any Approved Lease Change, including, but not limited to, tenant improvement costs and leasing commissions, whether such amounts are payable before or after Closing.

(d) Buyer and Seller acknowledge and agree that Tenant is solely responsible for all maintenance at the Property. Between the Agreement Date and the Closing Date, Seller shall carry insurance for and perform repairs at the Property that are Seller’s responsibility as landlord under the Lease (collectively, the “Maintenance Duties”), except to the extent such Maintenance Duties are prevented by any COVID-19 Restrictions. Notwithstanding the above, Seller’s Maintenance Duties shall specifically exclude the obligation: (i) to repair or correct normal wear and tear or deferred maintenance, or (ii) to expend more than $5,000 with respect to Maintenance Duties in the aggregate unless (A) the same is necessary to protect the health or safety of the occupants of the Property from imminent danger, (B) the failure to perform such Maintenance Duties would result in a material violation of applicable law if not performed prior to the Closing Date or (c) if such is required by the Lease.

(e) Seller shall deliver at Closing notices of termination of any service contracts for the Property to which Seller is a party (but expressly excluding any service contracts entered into directly by Tenant), and shall terminate, as of the Closing Date, all existing brokerage, leasing, management and listing agreements with respect to the Property.

6.2 Casualty Damage. Seller shall give notice (a “Casualty Notice”) to Buyer reasonably promptly after the occurrence of any damage to the improvements on the Property by any casualty, which Casualty Notice shall include Seller’s reasonable estimate of the costs or repair and restoration and the time to complete such repair and restoration, whether or not the loss is insured, and, if such loss is uninsured, whether Seller is willing to provide Buyer with a credit against the Purchase Price in the amount of such uninsured loss. If, before the Closing Date, the improvements on the Property are damaged by any casualty and such casualty constitutes a Material Loss (hereinafter defined), Buyer shall have the right, by giving notice to Seller within ten (10) days after Buyer’s receipt of a copy of the Casualty Notice or, if applicable, the Buyer Casualty Termination Notice (hereinafter defined) (the “Buyer Casualty Exercise Period”), to terminate this Agreement, in which event this Agreement shall terminate. If necessary, the Closing Date shall be postponed until the date that is five (5) business days following the later of (i) the expiration of the time period provided to Tenant for delivery of its Tenant Casualty Termination Notice to Seller pursuant to Article 11 of the Lease, or (ii) the expiration of the Buyer Casualty Exercise Period. If, before the Closing Date, the Property is damaged by a casualty that does not result in a termination of this Agreement pursuant to the preceding sentences, then the insurance proceeds (or, if not theretofore received, the right to receive such proceeds), if any, payable on account of the damage, exclusive of any proceeds of any business interruption or rent continuation insurance in respect of Seller’s period of ownership, shall be transferred to Buyer, and the amount of any applicable insurance deductible (not to exceed the repair cost as reasonably determined by Seller) shall be a credit to

 

-16-


Buyer against the Purchase Price. In the event of any uninsured loss on account of a casualty hereunder, Seller may elect to provide Buyer with a credit against the Purchase Price in the amount of such loss; provided, however, that if Seller does not so elect to provide said credit, then Buyer may terminate this Agreement by delivery of written notice to Seller within ten (10) days after Buyer’s receipt of a copy of the Casualty Notice, in which event Buyer shall receive a refund of the Deposit.

6.3 Eminent Domain. Seller shall give notice (a “Condemnation Notice”) to Buyer reasonably promptly after Seller’s receiving notice of the commencement of any proceedings for the taking by exercise of the power of eminent domain of all or any part of the Property. If, before the Closing Date, Seller provides Buyer with a Condemnation Notice stating proceedings are commenced for the taking by exercise of the power of eminent domain and such proceedings constitute a Material Loss. Buyer shall have the right, by giving notice to Seller within ten (10) days after Buyer’s receipt of a copy of the Condemnation Notice or, if applicable, the Tenant Condemnation Termination Notice (hereinafter defined) (the “Buyer Condemnation Exercise Period”), to terminate this Agreement, in which event this Agreement shall terminate. If necessary, the Closing Date shall be postponed until the date that is five (5) business days following the later of (i) the expiration of the time period provided to Tenant for delivery of its Tenant Condemnation Termination Notice to Seller pursuant to Article 21 of the Lease, or (ii) the expiration of the Buyer Condemnation Exercise Period. If, before the Closing Date, proceedings are commenced for the taking by exercise of the power of eminent domain but Tenant does not deliver a Tenant Condemnation Termination Notice, or if Buyer has the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to the preceding sentence but Buyer does not exercise such right, then this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and, on the Closing Date, the condemnation award (or, if not theretofore received, the right to receive such award) payable on account of the taking shall be transferred to Buyer.

As used herein, the term “Material Loss” shall mean (a) any damage or destruction that costs more than five percent (5%) of the Purchase Price to repair, based on an estimate by a contractor reasonably acceptable to Buyer and Seller, (b) Tenant delivers notice to Seller exercising its right to terminate the Lease pursuant to Article 11 of the Lease (the “Tenant Casualty Termination Notice”), (c) Tenant delivers written notice to Seller exercising its right to terminate the Lease pursuant to Article 21 of the Lease (the “Tenant Condemnation Termination Notice”), (d) the permanent loss of any access to the Property due to a condemnation pursuant to Section 6.3 above, or (e) an event that causes any portion of the Property to fall out of compliance with local zoning laws, provided that such condition cannot be remedied at no material out-of-pocket cost or expense, and that a waiver is not otherwise applicable (e.g., that the condition is legal non-conforming).

ARTICLE 7

Conditions Precedent

7.1 Seller. Seller’s obligation to transfer the Property to Buyer and to consummate the transactions contemplated herein by taking the other actions required of Seller at the Closing are subject to satisfaction of all of the conditions set forth in this Section 7.1. Seller may waive any or all of such conditions in whole or in part but any such waiver shall be effective only if made in writing. After the Closing, any such condition that has not been satisfied shall be treated as having been waived in writing. No such waiver shall constitute a waiver by Seller of any of its rights or remedies if Buyer defaults in the performance of any covenant or agreement to be performed by Buyer under this Agreement or if Buyer breaches any representation or warranty made by Buyer in Section 5.2 hereof. If any condition set forth in this Section 7.1 is not fully satisfied or waived in writing by Seller prior to the Closing and the failure of such condition is not caused by the default of Seller, then Seller shall have the right to terminate this Agreement upon written notice delivered to Buyer and the Title Company on or before the Closing, but without releasing Buyer from liability if Buyer defaults in the performance of any such covenant or agreement to be performed by Buyer or if Buyer breaches any such representation or warranty made by Buyer before such termination.

 

-17-


(a) On the Closing Date, Buyer shall not be in default in the performance of any material covenant to be performed by Buyer under this Agreement.

(b) Buyer shall have made all deliveries required to be made by Buyer at Closing pursuant to this Agreement.

7.2 Buyer. The obligations of Buyer to purchase the Property from Seller and to consummate the transactions contemplated herein by taking the other actions required of the Buyer at Closing are subject to satisfaction of all of the conditions set forth in this Section 7.2. Buyer may waive any or all of such conditions in whole or in part but any such waiver shall be effective only if made in writing. After the Closing, any such condition that has not been satisfied shall be treated as having been waived in writing. If any condition set forth in this Section 7.2 is not fully satisfied or waived in writing by Buyer prior to the applicable date set forth below and the failure of such condition is not caused by the default of Buyer, then Buyer shall have the right to terminate this Agreement upon written notice delivered to Seller and the Title Company, but without releasing Seller from liability (if any) if Seller defaults in the performance of any such covenant or agreement to be performed by Seller or if Seller breaches any such representation or warranty made by Seller before such termination.

(a) On the Closing Date, the Title Company shall be prepared to issue to Buyer an ALTA Standard Coverage Policy of title insurance, with liability equal to the Purchase Price for the Property, insuring Buyer that fee title to the Property is vested in Buyer subject only to the Permitted Exceptions (the “Title Policy”).

(b) On the Closing Date, Seller shall have made all deliveries required to be made by Seller at Closing pursuant to this Agreement.

(c) As of the Closing Date, there shall be no pending litigation involving Seller and affecting the Property that would adversely affect the Property or Buyer following the Closing.

(d) Estoppel.

(i) Buyer shall have received a tenant estoppel certificate dated no earlier than forty-five (45) days prior to the Scheduled Closing Date in the form of Exhibit D attached hereto (the “Tenant Estoppel Certificate”) from Tenant. In the event Seller is unable to obtain the Tenant Estoppel Certificate by two (2) days before the Closing Date (subject to Seller’s right below to extend the Closing Date) (the “Estoppel Deadline Date”), Buyer shall elect to either (i) terminate this Agreement (which election must be made in a written notice given to Seller within two (2) business days following the Estoppel Deadline Date) or (ii) waive such condition and proceed to the Closing; and, if Buyer fails to deliver written notice on or before the Closing Date of either of the foregoing elections, Buyer shall be deemed to have elected (ii) above. To the extent that the Tenant Estoppel Certificate executed by Tenant is a Non-Complying Tenant Estoppel Certificate (as defined in the following sentence), Buyer shall have three (3) business days after receipt of the Non-Complying Tenant Estoppel Certificate to approve or disapprove the Tenant Estoppel Certificate so received (and the failure to timely do so shall constitute approval thereof by Buyer and satisfaction of the condition in this Section 7.2(e) with respect to any such tenant(s)). A “Non-Complying Tenant Estoppel Certificate” means a Tenant Estoppel Certificate that contains an exception that was not disclosed to Buyer (whether in the Lease, this Agreement or any other document delivered to Buyer) prior to the end of the Property Approval Period that (1) discloses material

 

-18-


adverse economic terms of the Lease, (b) alleges a default of Seller (as landlord) under the Lease, or (3) discloses a dispute between the landlord and Tenant in connection with the Lease or a default by Tenant. Upon receipt of the Tenant Estoppel Certificate by Buyer, any of Seller’s representations made herein applicable to the Lease shall be qualified to the information contained in the Tenant Estoppel Certificate.

(ii) If, despite the use of commercially reasonable efforts, Seller is unable to obtain the Tenant Estoppel Certificate, the same shall not be considered a default on the part of Seller, but rather a failure of a condition precedent to Closing; provided, however, notwithstanding the foregoing, if Seller has not satisfied the condition in this Section 7.2(d) by the Estoppel Deadline Date, Seller or Buyer shall have the right, but not the obligation, to extend the Estoppel Deadline Date for up to thirty (30) days in order to provide Seller with additional time to obtain the Tenant Estoppel Certificate to satisfy the condition in this Section 7.2(d) by delivering written notice to the other party prior to 5:00 p.m. Pacific Time on the Estoppel Deadline Date exercising such extension right. To the extent of such extension, the Closing Date shall also be extended to be the date which is three (3) business days following the extended Estoppel Deadline Date.

(iii) The Lease and the Guaranty shall be valid and in full force and effect as of the Closing Date.

ARTICLE 8

-19-


8.3 Closing Costs. Closing costs shall be allocated as provided below (and, if not specifically provided below, any item of closing costs shall be paid according to the custom and practice of the county in which the Real Property is located).

 

  (a)

State of Washington and local real estate excise and transfer taxes: Seller

 

  (b)

Premium for Standard Coverage portion of the Title Policy: Seller

 

  (c)

Escrow fee charged by the Title Company: 50% Buyer, 50% Seller

 

  (d)

Recording fees for the Deed: Buyer

 

  (e)

Premium for Extended Coverage for the Title Policy and any endorsements to the Title Policy: Buyer.

8.4 Prorations.

(a) At the Closing on the Closing Date, the collected rents under the Lease, the current installment of real property taxes and assessments levied against the Property, current utilities, and other current income or operating and maintenance expenses of the Property shall be prorated between Seller and Buyer as of the Closing Date on the basis of a thirty (30)-day month. All utility service charges for electricity, heat and air conditioning service, other utilities, elevator maintenance, common area maintenance, taxes other than real estate taxes such as rental taxes, other expenses incurred in operating the Property that Seller customarily pays and that are not paid by Tenant directly, and any other costs incurred in the ordinary course of business or the management and operation of the Property not so paid by Tenant, shall be prorated on an accrual basis. Seller shall pay all such expenses that accrue prior to the Closing Date and Buyer shall pay all such expenses accruing on the Closing Date and thereafter. Seller and Buyer shall obtain billings and meter readings as of the Closing Date to aid in such prorations.

(b) If the Closing shall occur before rents and all other amounts payable by Tenant under the Lease (including operating expense and tax reimbursements) and all other income from the Property have been paid for the month in which the Closing occurs, the apportionment of such rents and other amounts and other income shall be upon the basis of such rents, other amounts and other income, actually received by Seller as of the Closing Date. There shall be no proration of any rents or other income not actually received by Seller as of the Closing Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any of such operating expenses and other charges and expenses are payable by Tenant under the Lease (collectively, the “Tenant Charges“) on an estimated basis, then the Tenant Charges shall be reconciled against actual charges and expenses as of and at the Closing, to the extent then possible, and Seller shall provide a proposed reconciliation for Buyer’s approval. Seller shall have a period of ninety (90) days following the actual Closing Date to provide Buyer with a final reconciliation of Tenant Charges. If the final reconciliation shows that Seller owes Buyer additional sums, Seller shall deliver such amount to Buyer, together with the delivery of the final reconciliation of the Tenant Charges. If the final reconciliation shows that Buyer owes Seller additional sums, Buyer shall pay such amount to Seller within ten (10) days after Buyer’s receipt of the final reconciliation. Other than as set forth above, there shall not be any further reconciliation of such Tenant Charges after the final reconciliation thereof, the proration of such Tenant Charges pursuant to the final reconciliation being conclusively presumed to be accurate. After the final reconciliation of Tenant Charges is made by and between the parties, Buyer shall be solely liable and responsible to Tenant under the Lease for such reconciliation of Tenant Charges under the Lease. The foregoing covenants made by the parties with respect to the final reconciliation of the Tenant Charges shall survive the Closing.

 

-20-


(c) Subsequent to the Closing, if any rents and other income are received by Buyer or Seller, all such amounts shall be applied in the following order: (i) first to rent due for the month in which Closing occurs, (ii) next, to rent due for the month following the month in which Closing occurs, and (iii) the balance to delinquent rent relating to the period prior to the month in which Closing occurs. For six (6) months following the Closing Date, Buyer agrees to collect on behalf of the Seller all rents and other charges which became due prior to the Closing but which Seller will not have collected as of the Closing Date, and promptly remit same to Seller; in the event that Buyer is not successful in collecting such amounts on Seller’s behalf, Seller may thereafter attempt to collect same from the Tenant, provided that Seller may not sue the Tenant for eviction. Any such rentals due to Seller shall be paid by Buyer to Seller within ten (10) days following Buyer’s receipt thereof. If, subsequent to the Closing, any such rents and other income payable to Buyer, as provided above, are received by Seller, Seller shall remit Buyer’s prorata share thereof, calculated as aforesaid, to Buyer. Following the Closing, Buyer agrees to provide Seller with access to Buyer’s books, records and accounts relating to the operation of the Property in order that Seller may verify compliance with the preceding terms and provisions of this Section 8.4. At Closing, (i) Seller shall buy out from the Tenant the unapplied portion, as of the Closing Date, of the Abated Rent (as such term is defined in the Basic Lease Information section of the Lease), and (ii) Buyer shall receive a credit against the Purchase Price in an amount equal to the undisbursed portion, as of the Closing Date, of the Allowance (as such term is defined in Section 3(a) of Exhibit B to the Lease) (the “Undisbursed Allowance”), and (iii) Seller shall provide Buyer with evidence in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Buyer which evidences the amounts set forth in the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii) (which may be in the form of a written certification from the Tenant to Buyer, or other evidence reasonably approved by Buyer). At Buyer’s option, in lieu of a credit against the Purchase Price in an amount equal to the Undisbursed Allowance, the Purchase Price shall be reduced by an amount equal to the Undisbursed Allowance, in which event Buyer shall not receive the credit set forth in clause (ii) above.

(d) The proration of real property taxes and assessments at Closing under this Section 8.4 shall be final. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall be entitled to the benefit of any reduction or refund of taxes attributable to periods on or before the Closing Date, regardless of the party initiating any appeal or contest of such taxes and regardless of when such reduction or refund is credited or paid by the taxing authorities; provided, however, that any such reduction or refund shall be net of any expenses incurred by Buyer or its successors in interest in obtaining such reduction or refund. Buyer shall be deemed to be the owner of the Real Property as of the date of Closing for purposes of prorations.

(e) Any security deposit held by Seller under the Lease on the Closing Date shall be credited to Buyer and charged to Seller at the Closing.

(f) Seller agrees to pay or discharge at or prior to Closing all brokerage commissions and costs of tenant improvements (collectively, “Leasing Costs”) that are due and payable before the Closing Date; provided, however, that Seller shall have no obligation to pay, and as of the Closing, Buyer shall assume the obligation to pay (i) all Leasing Costs payable with respect to any option to renew or option to expand that is exercised on or after the Closing Date and (ii) all Leasing Costs incurred with respect to an Approved Lease Change, which obligation shall survive the Closing. If prior to the Closing, Seller has paid any of the Leasing Costs which Buyer is obligated to pay pursuant to subsections (i) or (ii) immediately above, then at Closing Buyer shall reimburse Seller through Escrow for such costs so paid by Seller.

(g) If permitted by the applicable utility providers, utilities shall be canceled by Seller and reestablished in Buyer’s name on the Closing Date; otherwise, utilities shall be prorated between Seller and Buyer at Closing, with such proration to be readjusted at such time as final utility bills become available. Seller shall be entitled to receive refunds for any and all deposits which Seller has made with utility companies, and Buyer shall replace such deposits at Closing.

(h) This Section 8.4 will survive the Closing.

8.5 Seller’s Default.

(a) If, prior to the Closing, Buyer or Seller should learn, discover or become aware that a representation or warranty of Seller set forth herein is incorrect or untrue in any material respect (except to the extent due to any COVID-19 Restrictions) or of any material breach of a covenant by Seller hereunder (collectively, a “Seller Breach”), then the party who has learned, discovered or become aware of such Seller Breach shall promptly give written notice thereof to the other party. Buyer shall, within five (5) days of becoming aware of any Seller Breach, have the right to object to such Seller Breach by written notice to Seller (a “Buyer Notice of Default”), which Buyer Notice of Default shall include a description of the Seller Breach and Buyer’s opinion of the reasonable steps necessary to cure such Seller Breach (and the Closing Date shall be extended as necessary to provide Buyer such five (5) day notice period and to provide Seller a five (5)-day response period as provided below). If Buyer timely sends a Buyer Notice of Default with respect to a Seller Breach, then Seller may, within five (5) days after receipt of such Buyer Notice of Default, elect in writing to remedy such Seller Breach, and Seller may extend the Closing up to thirty (30) days to complete such remedy if necessary, provided, however in the event that Seller is prevented from curing such Seller Breach due to any COVID-19 Restrictions, then Seller shall have the right to extend Closing to the date that is thirty (30) days after the applicable COVID-19 Restrictions shall have ceased. If Seller does not elect to remedy such Seller Breach within such five (5) days after receipt of the Buyer Notice of Default, then Buyer may, within five (5) days after the expiration of such five (5) day period, as its sole and exclusive remedy, elect in writing to either (i) terminate this Agreement as more particularly provided in Section 8.5(b) below or (ii) proceed with the Closing. If Buyer fails to timely send a Buyer Notice of Default within five (5) days of becoming aware of any Seller Breach, or Buyer otherwise elects to proceed with the Closing despite being aware of any such Seller Breach, or Seller remedies the Seller Breach, then Seller’s representation and warranties herein shall be qualified by such Seller Breach, Seller shall have no obligation to Buyer for such Seller Breach or any further obligations to cure such Seller Breach, and the Closing shall proceed as scheduled with no offset or deduction from the Purchase Price. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the parties acknowledge and agree that there will be no notice or cure period as provided herein in the event Seller fails to timely close as required by this Agreement.

(b) IF THE SALE OF THE PROPERTY IS NOT CONSUMMATED DUE TO SELLERS MATERIAL DEFAULT HEREUNDER, THEN NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING CONTAINED HEREIN TO THE CONTRARY, BUYER SHALL BE ENTITLED, AS ITS SOLE REMEDY AT LAW OR IN EQUITY, EITHER (A) TO TERMINATE THIS AGREEMENT AS PROVIDED IN SECTION 8.5(A) ABOVE AND RECEIVE THE RETURN OF THE DEPOSIT AND RECOVER FROM SELLER A REIMBURSEMENT OF BUYERS ACTUAL OUT OF POCKET COSTS INCURRED WITH RESPECT TO THIS TRANSACTION NOT TO EXCEED AN AGGREGATE OF $100,000 (BUYERS OUT OF POCKET COSTS) FOR ALL CLAIMS TIMELY ASSERTED AGAINST SELLER UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, OR (B) IF SUCH TERMINATION IS DUE TO SELLERS FAILURE TO DELIVER THE DEED AT CLOSING OR OTHERWISE CONSUMMATE THE SALE FO THE PROPERTY TO BUYER, TO ENFORCE SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE OF THIS AGREEMENT. BUYER SHALL BE DEEMED TO HAVE ELECTED TO TERMINATE THIS AGREEMENT AND RECEIVE BACK THE DEPOSIT AND BUYERS OUT OF POCKET COSTS IF BUYER FAILS TO FILE SUIT FOR SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE AGAINST SELLER IN A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION, ON OR BEFORE THE DATE WHICH IS THIRTY (30) DAYS FOLLOWING THE DATE UPON WHICH CLOSING WAS TO HAVE OCCURRED. AS A MATERIAL CONSIDERATION FOR SELLER ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT, BUYER EXPRESSLY WAIVES FOR ANY DEFAULT BY SELLER (A) ANY RIGHT UNDER STATE OR FEDERAL STATUTE, OR AT COMMON LAW OR OTHERWISE TO RECORD OR FILE A LIS PENDENS OR A NOTICE OF PENDENCY OF ACTION OR SIMILAR NOTICE AGAINST ALL OR ANY PORTION OF THE PROPERTY UNLESS AND UNTIL BUYER HAS ELECTED TO SEEK SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE OF THIS AGREEMENT AND HAS FILED AN ACTION SEEKING SUCH REMEDY, (B) ANY RIGHT TO SEEK DAMAGES IN THE EVENT OF SELLERS DEFAULT HEREUNDER, AND (C) ITS RIGHT TO BRING ANY ACTION THAT WOULD IN ANY WAY AFFECT TITLE TO OR RIGHT OF POSSESSION OF ALL OR ANY PORTION OF THE PROPERTY. BUYER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT PRIOR TO THE CLOSING, BUYER SHALL NOT HAVE ANY RIGHT, TITLE OR INTEREST IN AND TO THE PROPERTY OR ANY PORTION THEREOF UNLESS AND UNTIL BUYER HAS ELECTED TO SEEK SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE OF THIS AGREEMENT AND HAS FILED AN ACTION SEEKING SUCH REMEDY. WITHOUT LIMITATION OF THE FOREGOING, THE DEPOSIT SHALL BE THE FULL, AGREED AND LIQUIDATED DAMAGES PURSUANT TO SECTION 64.04.005 OF THE REVISED CODE OF WASHINGTON. BUYER HEREBY EVIDENCES ITS SPECIFIC AGREEMENT TO THE TERMS OF THIS WAIVER BY PLACING ITS SIGNATURE OR INITIALS IN THE SPACE PROVIDED HEREINAFTER.

(c) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, in no event shall Buyer have any right to bring any suit, action, claim or proceeding against Seller with respect to this Agreement if the amount in controversy does not exceed $15,000 in the aggregate (after which liability shall commence at $0.01 such that the floor does not act as a deductible). In the event that the sale of the Property to Buyer is consummated, then Seller’s aggregate liability with respect to any breach by Seller of the representations and/or warranties of Seller contained in this Agreement or any other document executed and delivered in connection herewith shall not exceed one percent (1%) of the Purchase Price (the “Seller Liability Cap”). Any action, suit or proceeding brought by Buyer against Seller arising from or related to this Agreement must be commenced and served, if at all, on or before the date which is nine (9) months after the Closing Date (the “Outside Date”). Subject to the limits of this Section 8.5, the obligations of Seller are intended to be binding only on the Seller’s interest in the Property (in the event this Agreement is terminated) or Seller’s net proceeds from the sale of the Property (if the Closing occurs) and the obligations of Seller shall not be personally binding upon, nor shall any claim or action be asserted or filed against, nor any resort be had to, the private properties of any of its members, partners, trustees, officers, directors or shareholders, or the general partners, trustees, beneficiaries, managers, officers, directors or shareholders thereof, or any employees or agents of Seller. Seller shall maintain a tangible net worth of not less than the amount of the Seller Liability Cap through the later to occur of: (i) the Outside Date or (ii) the final resolution (including any applicable appeals) of any action, suit or proceeding brought by Buyer against Seller arising from or related to this Agreement which was brought on or prior to the Outside Date.

(d) This Section 8.5 shall survive the Closing.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer shall have the right to disclose information with respect to the Property to its officers, directors, employees, attorneys, accountants, environmental auditors, engineers, investors, potential lenders, and permitted assignees under this Agreement and other consultants to the extent necessary for Buyer to evaluate its acquisition of the Property provided that all such persons are told that such information is confidential and agree (in writing for any third party engineers, environmental auditors or other consultants) to keep such information confidential. The provisions of this paragraph shall survive the Closing or any termination of this Agreement. In the event that the transaction contemplated by this Agreement does not close as provided herein, upon the request of Seller, Buyer shall promptly return to Seller all documents obtained by Buyer from Seller in connection with the purchase of the Property hereunder.

9.10 Publicity. Seller and Buyer each hereby covenant and agree that (a) prior to the Closing neither Seller nor Buyer shall issue any press release or similar public statement with respect to this transaction or this Agreement (a “Press Release”) without the prior consent of the other, and (b) after the Closing, any Press Release issued by either Seller or Buyer shall be subject to the review and approval of both parties (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed and such response shall be provided within two (2) business days after submission of a draft of the Press Release to the other party for review).

Buyer further agrees that any information discovered by Buyer concerning the Property shall not obligate Seller to prepare and deliver to Buyer a revised or updated Seller Disclosure Statement.

BUYER HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMISSIBLE BY LAW, THE RIGHT TO RESCIND THIS AGREEMENT PURSUANT TO ANY PROVISION OF RCW 64.06, AS AMENDED BY CHAPTER 64, LAWS OF 2010. IT IS THE INTENT OF BUYER THAT ANY SELLER DISCLOSURE STATEMENT PROVIDED BY SELLER WILL NOT BE RELIED UPON BY BUYER, AND SHALL GIVE BUYER NO RIGHTS WITH RESPECT TO SELLER OR UNDER THIS AGREEMENT. THIS WAIVER OF THE RIGHT TO RESCIND APPLIES TO THE SELLER DISCLOSURE STATEMENT PROVIDED TO BUYER DURING THE REVIEW PERIOD AND APPLIES PROSPECTIVELY TO ANY UPDATED OR REVISED SELLER DISCLOSURE STATEMENTS THAT MAY BE PROVIDED BY SELLER TO BUYER.

9.12 Miscellaneous. The Addendum and Exhibits attached to this Agreement are made a part of this Agreement. Neither Seller nor Buyer shall make any public announcement of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement without the prior consent of the other, unless any such announcement is reasonably necessary to comply with applicable law. Except with respect to an assignment to a qualified intermediary in connection with a 1031 exchange and except for an assignment or transfer of this Agreement by Buyer to an Affiliate (as hereinafter defined) of Buyer (which assignment or transfer may be made by Buyer without Seller’s consent, but with at least five (5) days’ prior notice), Buyer shall not assign or transfer this Agreement, or any interest in or part of this Agreement, without the prior consent of Seller, which consent may be withheld in Seller’s sole discretion. No such assignment or transfer shall release Buyer from any obligation or liability under this Agreement. “Affiliate” shall mean an entity which is controlled by, under common control with, or controls Buyer. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement shall benefit and bind Seller and Buyer and their respective personal representatives, heirs, successors and assigns. Time is of the essence of this Agreement. Buyer shall reasonably cooperate, at no cost to Buyer, with any 1031 exchange of the Property in which Seller engages. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be an original, but all of which shall constitute one and the same Agreement. The parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns are hereby authorized to rely upon the signatures of each person and entity on this Agreement which are delivered by facsimile or email transmission in portable document format (.pdf) or other electronic imaging as constituting a duly authorized, irrevocable, actual, current delivery of this Agreement with original ink signatures of each person and entity. This Agreement may not be amended or modified except by a written agreement signed by Seller and Buyer. This Agreement constitutes the entire and integrated agreement between Seller and Buyer relating to the purchase and sale of the Property and supersedes all prior agreements, understandings, offers and negotiations, oral or written, with respect to the sale of the Property.

9.13 Audit Information. Buyer has advised Seller that Buyer must comply with Securities and Exchange Commission Regulations S-X (17 C.F.R. § Part 210) (“Regulation SX”), including, but not limited to, Item 3-14, which requires Buyer to cause to be prepared three (3) years of audited income statements for the Property. Seller shall provide Buyer, at either no cost or nominal cost to Seller, any reasonable financial information, financial statements and supporting documentation in Seller’s possession or under Seller’s control as are reasonably necessary for Buyer’s auditors to prepare such audited income statements in compliance with Regulation S-X; provided that Buyer acknowledges that Seller has not owned the Property for three (3) years, and as a result the financial information provided by Seller pursuant to this Section 9.13 will only cover the period of Seller’s ownership of the Property. The provisions of this Section 9.13 shall survive the Closing.
