Seller will pay all charges for such utility charges which have accrued on or prior to the Apportionment Time. If the utility companies are unable or refuse to read the meters on the Closing Date, all charges for such utility charges to the extent unpaid will be prorated and adjusted as of the day before the Closing Date based on the most recent bills and other reasonable factors. Seller shall retain utility deposits and deposits with governmental and quasi-governmental authorities, and initial inducement payments made to Seller by vendors. All other operating expenses of the Property (which are customarily adjusted for in a transction of this nature), including association maintenance charges and special assessments, if applicable, and costs pursuant to the service contracts in effect as of the Closing Date and being assigned to Purchaser in accordance with the terms hereof (but not including the Seller's management agreement which Seller shall terminate at Closing), the list for which as of the date hereof being attached hereto as Exhibit D ("Service Contracts"), shall be prorated between Seller and Buyer as of 12:01 a.m. the day of the Closing Date such that Seller shall be deemed the owner of the Property for the day prior to the Closing Date and Buyer shall be deemed the owner of the Property commencing as of the day of Closing; provided, however, there will be no proration of insurance premiums, it being agreed

Buyer shall assume any Service Contract in effect as of the Closing other than those designated by Buyer in writing for termination by Seller prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period, provided however, Buyer shall be required to assume at Closing any Service Contract not susceptible of being terminated prior to Closing.

(iii) Delinquent Rents. All uncollected rents for the months prior to the month in which the Closing occurs and all uncollected rents through Closing (“Delinquent Rents”), shall remain Seller’s property, and neither Buyer nor Seller shall receive any proration or credit therefor at Closing. Any and all Delinquent Rents received by Buyer after the Closing Date shall be first applied to any rent owed by such Tenant to Buyer and after such Tenant is current in its rent to Buyer then the remainder, if any, shall be promptly remitted to Seller. No portion of Delinquent Rents attributable to a particular Tenant shall be applied against the rents or Delinquent Rents attributable to another Tenant. Buyer shall not be obligated to file suit to collect the Delinquent Rents but shall use commercially reasonable efforts to collect the same for a period of three (3) months after the Closing, and Seller shall not have the right to sue any tenants for any Delinquent Rents or other sums due Seller as of the Closing Date. This provision shall survive Closing.

With respect to each apartment unit that is not in such a rent-ready condition at the Closing, as reasonably determined by Buyer and Seller, Buyer shall receive a credit against the Purchase Price in the sum of One Thousand Dollars ($1,000).
(d) Final Prorations. Any errors in the apportionments pursuant to this Section 4 shall be corrected by appropriate re-adjustment between Seller and Buyer post-closing, provided that notice of any such error, with supporting calculations, shall be given by Buyer to Seller or by Seller to Buyer, as the case may be, no later than (90) ninety days after the Closing, if ascertainable within such period, it being understood and agreed that if any such items or errors are not ascertainable at the Closing or within (90) ninety days thereafter, the apportionment shall be made subsequent to the Closing when the charge or error is determined Payments in connection with the final adjustment shall be due within 30 days of written notice, but, in all events (other than the re-proration of Taxes, if applicable), on or before one hundred twenty (120) days after the Closing.

Buyer will not conduct any on-site inspections without Seller or its representative first being afforded an opportunity to be present, and Buyer shall provide Seller with not less than two (2) business days’ prior notice (which notice may be delivered by email to jwright@bainbridgere.com or telephonically to Jake Wright at (301) 222-0060)) in advance of the date for its inspections of the Property. Buyer agrees that Buyer shall not contact or interview any tenant of the Property. If Buyer intends to carry out any invasive test, inspection or investigation involving the physical disturbance of any portion of the Property, Buyer shall give Seller at least two (2) business days prior notice of such intention and the conduct of such test, inspection and investigation shall be subject to Seller's reasonable regulations; provided, however, that in no event shall Buyer be permitted to perform soil borings or other invasive or intrusive tests on the Property without Seller’s prior written consent, which consent may be withheld by Seller in Seller's sole and absolute discretion.

22484/0204




prior to and including the final day of the Inspection Period, in which event the Deposit shall be released to Seller and, except as expressly set forth herein, neither party shall have any further liability or obligation to the other hereunder. In the absence of such written notice, the contingency provided for in this Section 6(b) shall no longer be applicable, Buyer shall be deemed to have waived its right to terminate under this Section 6(b) and this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect. In the event Buyer timely elects to terminate this Agreement during the Inspection Period as permitted above, and as additional consideration for Seller granting Buyer the foregoing condition precedent, Buyer shall deliver to Seller with Buyer’s notice of termination copies a copy of all third party reports obtained by Buyer in connection with Buyer’s inspections of the Property; provided that such reports shall be delivered without representation or warranty as to accuracy or completeness thereof. This provision shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
(c) Buyer shall repair any damage to the Property resulting from any inspections, studies or tests performed by Buyer, except to the extent such damage results from the mere discovery of a condition that existed at the Property prior to any entry by Buyer, to the extent such pre-existing condition is not further disturbed as a result of Buyer’s inspections. In connection with such entry onto the Property, Buyer agrees at all times during the entries onto the Property that it will cause its agents to, maintain in effect commercial general liability insurance on an occurrence basis (including contractual liability, contractor’s protective liability, personal injury and property damage coverage) in a combined single limit of at least Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000.00), and provide Seller with evidence of such insurance coverage prior to any entry onto the Property. Such insurance may be maintained directly by Buyer or by Buyer’s affiliates, members or contractors. Before any such entry, Buyer shall provide Seller with a certificate of insurance naming Seller as an additional insured and with insurance limits as provided for herein, if Seller requests.
(d) Buyer will not permit any mechanics' lien or liens to be placed upon the Property relating to Buyer’s activities hereunder. Buyer hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Seller and Seller's agents, employees, contractors, shareholders, officers and directors (collectively herein referred to as the "Seller Parties") harmless from and against any and all liens for any materials or services furnished to the Property by, or on behalf of, Buyer. If any lien is claimed against the Property for services or materials provided at the request of, or for the benefit of, Buyer, then Buyer shall promptly take whatever action is necessary to release and remove such lien as soon as possible, but not later than fifteen (15) days after the date the lien was filed. If such lien has not been removed within such fifteen (15) day period, Seller may take whatever action, in its sole discretion and at Buyer' sole cost and expense, that it deems reasonably necessary to release and remove the lien.
(e) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Buyer covenants and agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Seller and the Seller Parties harmless from any and all injury to any person, loss of life or property damage arising out of any action or inaction of Buyer or its agents or independent contractors in connection with Buyer’s investigation of the Property, excluding consequential, subsequent or punitive damages. In conducting any physical investigations and review of the Property, Buyer and its agents and representatives shall: (i) use commercially reasonable efforts to not damage any part of the Property nor conduct any activities precluded by this Agreement; (ii) use commercially reasonable efforts to not injure or otherwise cause bodily harm to Seller or any other third party; (iii) promptly pay when due the costs of all investigations done with regard to the Property; (iv) not permit any liens to attach to the Property by reason of the exercise of Buyer’s rights hereunder; and (v) upon completion of any inspection by

7
4815-0899-8962.7
22484/0204




Buyer and/or its agents or independent contractors, Buyer shall restore any damage to the Property caused by same. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Buyer shall not be liable for matters occurring to the extent the result of the gross negligence or intentional act of the Seller Parties, or for mere disclosure to Seller of the results of such inspections and investigations.
(f) Seller has previously made or will make available to Buyer for Buyer's review at the Property, those certain items and information pertaining to the Property described in Schedule 5(f) attached hereto and made a part hereof, and such additional information as Buyer may reasonably request (collectively, the “Property Information”). The Property Information is being delivered to Buyer as an accommodation only and Seller does not represent or warrant the truth, accuracy, completeness or correctness of any such Property Information or any other information delivered to Buyer from any broker on Seller’s behalf. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that the Property Information delivered or given by Seller to Buyer in connection with the transaction contemplated hereby is provided to Buyer as a convenience only and that any reliance on or use of such Property Information by Buyer shall be at the sole risk of Buyer.
(g) Buyer acknowledges and agrees that all of the Property Information delivered by or on behalf of Seller and any other information obtained by Buyer regarding the Property as a result of Buyer’s physical inspection of the Property other than information that (i) is or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure by Buyer or its representatives, (ii) was or becomes available on a non-confidential basis from a source other than Buyer or its representatives, or (iii) is independently developed from a non-confidential source by Buyer or its representatives ("Confidential Information") shall be and remain confidential. Buyer further agrees and acknowledges that if any such Confidential Information is disclosed to third parties, to Seller’s employees or Seller’s tenants, Seller may suffer damages and irreparable harm. Buyer expressly acknowledges, covenants and agrees (a) that Buyer shall not make any press release or other public disclosure concerning the transaction contemplated by this Agreement and Buyer shall not disclose any of the contents or information contained in the Confidential information to any party other than Buyer's attorney, accountants, employees, partners, professional firms performing inspections and report reviews, prospective investors and prospective lenders or as otherwise may be required by law; and (b) that in making any disclosure of such information as permitted hereunder, Buyer shall advise such third parties of the confidentiality of such information and the potential of damage to Seller and the liability of Buyer and such third party as a result of any disclosure of such information by such third party and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such third party's compliance.
(h) It is expressly acknowledged by Buyer that the Closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement is not subject to any financing contingency and that no financing for this transaction shall be provided by Seller. Without limiting the foregoing, Buyer agrees that the ability or inability of Buyer to obtain debt, equity investments or other financing in order to pay all or any part of the Purchase Price shall not be a contingency or condition to any of Buyer’s obligations under this Agreement.

(a) Subject to the remaining terms of this Section 5, prior to the end of the Inspection Period, Buyer shall (at Buyer's sole cost and expense) procure from a licensed, insured environmental consultant of its choice the Phase 1 of the Property. If the Phase 1 confirms the existence of a

8
4815-0899-8962.7
22484/0204




“recognized environmental condition” with respect to the Property which would materially and adversely affect the Property, as reasonably determined by Buyer, then Buyer shall have the right to object to said condition ("Adverse Environmental Condition") by providing written notice to Seller ("Environmental Objection Notice"), specifying the exact nature and scope of the Adverse Environmental Condition, no later than five (5) days prior to the end of the Inspection Period. If Buyer timely delivers the Environmental Objection Notice, then Seller shall, within five (5) days thereafter, notify Buyer as to whether Seller will attempt, in its sole discretion, to cure the Adverse Environmental Condition (it being understood that Seller has no obligation to do so). In the event that Seller fails to timely notify Buyer, in writing, of Seller’s intention to cure the Adverse Environmental Condition, then Seller shall be deemed to have elected not to so cure. If by Seller’s written notice or silence Seller elects not to attempt to cure the Adverse Environmental Condition, then Buyer may, on or prior to the end of the Inspection Period, deliver written notice to Seller indicating Buyer’s election to (A) terminate this Agreement and receive a refund of the Deposit, or (B) proceed to close without any reduction in the Purchase Price. In the event that Buyer fails to notify Seller, in writing, of Buyer’s intention to proceed under subsection (A) or (B) above, then Buyer shall be deemed to have elected to proceed under subsection (B) above. If Seller timely elects to cure the Adverse Environmental Condition, then Seller shall have thirty (30) days from the end of the Inspection Period ("Environmental Cure Period") to commence to cure (without any obligation to actually cure, or expend funds or litigate to cure) the Adverse Environmental Condition in accordance with applicable environmental laws (and the Closing may be extended by Seller up to such thirty (30) day period to the extent necessary to complete such cure). If the Adverse Environmental Condition is not cured by the end of the Environmental Cure Period, then Buyer shall have the right, at its option, by delivering written notice to Seller within five (5) days following the expiration of the Environmental Cure Period, to either (x) terminate this Agreement, whereupon the Deposit shall be immediately returned to Buyer, or (y) not terminate this Agreement (it being agreed that Buyer's failure to deliver any such notice within such five (5) day period shall be deemed Buyer's election under this clause (y)) and proceed to Closing on the date which is ten (10) days following the expiration of the end of the Environmental Cure Period.
(a) The terms of this Section shall survive any termination of this Agreement or the Closing.
6. TITLE TO PROPERTY

If by Seller’s written notice or silence Seller elects not to attempt to cure any of Title Defects, then Buyer may, on or prior to the end of the Inspection Period, deliver written notice to Seller indicating Buyer’s election to (A) terminate this Agreement, whereupon the Deposit shall be immediately returned to Buyer and the parties hereto shall not have further obligations to the other party hereunder except as expressly provided herein, or (B) proceed to close without any reduction in the Purchase Price, in which event any Title Defects (as of the end of the Inspection Period) shall be deemed Permitted Exceptions. In the event that Buyer fails to notify Seller, in writing, of Buyer’s intention to proceed under subsection (A) or (B) above, then Buyer shall be deemed to have elected to proceed under subsection (A) above. As to those Title Defects agreed to be cured by Seller in writing, curing such Title Defects shall be a condition precedent to Buyer’s obligation to close and shall be cured and removed by Seller on or before the Closing Date, provided that Seller shall have the right to extend the Closing Date for an additional thirty (30) days as to cure such matters. If Seller fails to remove, discharge or correct the agreed Title Defects as of the Closing Date, then Buyer may, at its option and as its sole remedy, either: (i) terminate this Agreement by written notice to Seller on the Closing Date; or (ii) proceed to close and accept title “as is” without reduction in the Purchase Price. If Buyer shall elect to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 6(c), then the Deposit shall be repaid to Buyer and thereafter this Agreement shall be null and void and of no further force and effect, except for any obligations hereunder that shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
(d) Subject to Section 6(e) below, in the event any agreements are filed of record or any liens are created or become effective after the effective date of the initial Title Commitment and such agreements or liens are not created by, through or under Buyer, Buyer may give Seller written notice of such additional objections (“Additional Objections”) within three (3) days of its obtaining knowledge of the Additional Objections, but in no event later than the Closing Date. If by the Closing Date Seller has not cured such Additional Objection (without any obligation to do so, subject to Section 6(e) below), Buyer may (as its sole and exclusive remedy) terminate this Agreement by delivering written notice thereof to Seller on the Closing Date, in which event the Deposit shall be returned to Buyer and neither party shall have any further obligations hereunder (except with respect

10
4815-0899-8962.7
22484/0204




to obligations that expressly survive the termination hereof), failing which, such additional matters shall be deemed to be Permitted Encumbrances.
(e) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Seller shall have no obligation to take any steps, bring any action or proceeding or incur any effort or expense whatsoever to eliminate, modify or cure any objection Buyer may have pursuant to Section 6(c) hereof or otherwise except with respect to the objections which Seller has agreed to attempt to remove pursuant to Section 6(c) hereof; provided, however, at the Closing, Seller agrees, at Seller's sole cost and expense, (i) to cause to be released all mortgages and all other monetary liens voluntarily created by Seller that affect the Property; (ii) to cause to be released, removed, satisfied or insured over any other monetary liens that are not voluntarily created by Seller that affect the Property, except that as to the monetary liens described in this subsection (ii), Seller is not required to expend more than Three Hundred Thousand Dollars ($300,000) in the aggregate; and (iii) to cause to be terminated that certain Notice of Contract recorded July 25, 2013 in Book 7324, Page 999.

(a) In the event of casualty at the Property, and the cost for repair of such casualty is to exceed five percent (5%) of the Purchase Price (the “Damage Threshold Amount”) as determined by an engineer chosen by Seller and reasonably acceptable to Buyer, then Buyer shall have the option, to be exercised within five (5) business days after the date of receipt of Seller’s notice of such damage (and the Closing Date shall be extended if necessary to provide for such five (5) business day period), to either: (i) terminate this Agreement, in which case the Escrow Agent shall immediately return the Deposit to the Buyer and no party shall have any further liability or obligation to any other party under this Agreement, except with respect to obligations that expressly survive the termination hereof, or (ii) elect to proceed with the Closing, in which case the Seller shall assign all rights to receive insurance proceeds for such casualty to Buyer and pay or credit to Buyer the amount of any deductible and any proceeds received by Seller and unexpended for repairs.

15
4815-0899-8962.7
22484/0204




(b) Buyer is bound to purchase the Property as required by the terms of this Agreement without regard to the occurrence or effect of any damage to or destruction of the Property, provided that the occurrence of any damage or destruction to the Property involves repair costs equal to or less than Damage Threshold Amount and in such event the Seller shall assign all rights to receive insurance proceeds for such casualty to Buyer and pay or credit to Buyer the amount of any deductible and any proceeds received by Seller and unexpended for repairs.
(c) If, after the Effective Date and prior to the Closing, all or a material part of the Property is threatened or taken by eminent domain or condemnation, Seller shall promptly notify Buyer in writing and Buyer may give written notice to Seller electing to terminate this Agreement prior to the Closing in which event both parties shall be relieved and released of and from any further liability hereunder, except as set forth herein, the Deposit shall forthwith be returned to the Buyer by Escrow Agent, and thereupon this Agreement shall become null and void and be considered canceled. If no such election is made within five (5) business days of Seller notifying Buyer of such taking, then this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and the sale and purchase contemplated herein, excluding any interest taken by eminent domain or condemnation, shall be effected with no further adjustment, and, upon the Closing, Seller shall assign, transfer, and set over to Buyer all of the right, title and interest of Seller in and to any awards that have been or that may thereafter be made for such taking.
9. DEFAULT
(a) Seller’s Default. In the event that Seller fails to perform any of its material obligations under this Agreement or if any representation made by Seller was knowingly untrue in any material respect when made (and such failure is not cured by Seller within five (5) days after Buyer has notified Seller of such default, other than a failure to close as scheduled), then Buyer may, at its option and as its sole and exclusive remedy, either (i) terminate this Agreement and receive a full and immediate refund of the Deposit held by Escrow Agent, and, if such failure is a failure to close as scheduled hereunder, Seller shall reimburse Buyer for all of its actual out of pocket costs and expenses incurred by Buyer in connection with this transaction (not to exceed $100,000), and this Agreement shall be terminated and neither party hereunder shall have any further obligations to the other expect as expressly provided herein or (ii) enforce specific performance of this Agreement. As a condition precedent to Buyer’s exercising any right it may have to bring an action for specific performance hereunder, Buyer must commence such action for specific performance within sixty (60) days after the date scheduled for Closing. Buyer agrees that its failure to timely commence such an action for specific performance within such sixty (60) day period 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 similar instrument against the Property. The foregoing shall be the sole and exclusive remedies available to Buyer. Buyer hereby expressly waives any other right to seek damages against Seller. In no event shall any member, officer, director, agent or employee of Seller or its partners be personally liable for any of Seller’s obligations under this Agreement or the documents to be delivered at the Closing. For all purposes hereof, Buyer waives its right to seek, plead or obtain any judgment for any remedies or damages not specifically contained herein, including, without limitation, consequential, compensatory and punitive damages.
(b) Buyer’s Default. In the event Buyer is in default under or in breach of any of the material terms, covenants, or obligations hereunder (and such failure is not cured by Buyer within

16
4815-0899-8962.7
22484/0204




five (5) days after Seller has notified Buyer of the specific nature of such default, other than a failure to close as scheduled or to deliver the Deposit when required), then at the option of Seller, and as Seller’s sole and exclusive remedy, Escrow Agent shall deliver the Deposit to Seller and it shall become the property of Seller, such sum being agreed upon as liquidated damages for the failure of Buyer to perform the duties, liabilities, and obligations imposed upon it by the terms and provisions of this Agreement and because of the difficulty, inconvenience and uncertainty of ascertaining actual damages, and the parties shall thereupon be relieved and released from all other and further obligations under this Agreement, except for the obligations of indemnification which expressly survive this Agreement. The indemnity obligations of Buyer set forth in this Agreement are not subject to the limitations set forth in this Section.
10. INTENTIONALLY OMITTED
11. DISCLOSURES
BUYER SHOULD NOT RELY ON THE SELLER’S CURRENT PROPERTY TAXES AS THE AMOUNT OF PROPERTY TAXES THAT BUYER MAY BE OBLIGATED TO PAY IN THE YEAR SUBSEQUENT TO BUYER.

TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, BUYER AGREES NEVER TO COMMENCE OR PROSECUTE, OR CONSPIRE OR COLLUDE WITH OTHERS TO COMMENCE OR PROSECUTE, AGAINST THE SELLER, GENERAL CONTRACTOR AND/OR THEIR PARTNERS, MEMBERS, PRINCIPALS, REPRESENTATIVES, ATTORNEYS OR EMPLOYEES, ANY ACTION OR OTHER PROCEEDING BASED UPON ANY CLAIM SPECIFICALLY RELEASED IN THIS SECTION 16; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, IN NO EVENT SHALL THE RELEASES SET FORTH HEREIN BE DEEMED TO APPLY TO (I) ANY CLAIMS AGAINST SELLER BASED ON FRAUD, (II) ANY BREACH OF SELLER’S REPRESENTATIONS, OR WARRANTIES CONTAINED IN SECTION 7(A) OR IN ANY OF THE CLOSING DOCUMENTS DELIVERED BY SELLER OR (III) ANY THIRD-PARTY CLAIMS AGAINST SELLER, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION FOR PROPERTY DAMAGE OR PERSONAL INJURY, RELATING TO OR ARISING IN CONNECTION WITH MATTERS OCCURRING PRIOR TO THE CLOSING). THIS RELEASE SHALL BE DEEMED REAFFIRMED AT THE CLOSING.
THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION 16 SHALL SURVIVE CLOSING OR ANY TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT.
17. MERGER PROVISION
Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, any and all provisions contained herein shall merge with the Deed and other instruments executed at Closing, shall terminate at Closing and shall not survive Closing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each of the representations and warranties of Seller and Buyer contained in Section 7(a) of this Agreement shall survive until the date which is six (6) months after the Closing Date (“Limitation Date”) and no longer. Any post-closing claim that a party may have at any time against the other party for a breach of any such representation or warranty, whether known or unknown, which is not asserted by notice from such party to the other on or before the expiration of such Limitation Date shall not be valid or effective, and the other party will have no liability with respect thereto. Prior to asserting a post-closing claim, Buyer or Seller, as applicable, shall provide written notice to the other party of any alleged breach of such representation or warranty and shall allow the other party thirty (30) days within which to cure such breach, or, if such breach cannot reasonably be cured within thirty (30) days, an additional reasonable time period, so long as such cure has been commenced within such thirty (30) days and is being diligently pursued. If the other party fails to cure such breach after written notice and within such cure period, then the sole remedy of the party asserting the claim shall be an action at law for actual damages as a consequence thereof, provided that any claim or action at law for actual damages brought after Closing based upon a misrepresentation or a breach of a warranty or representation under this Agreement shall be actionable or enforceable if and only if notice of such claim is given to the other party prior to the Limitation Date. Each party hereby agrees that the maximum aggregate liability of the other party, in connection with, arising out of or in any way related to a breach of any representation or warranty by the other party shall not exceed one percent (1%) of the Purchase Price ("Liability Cap"). In addition, no party shall have any liability to the other for a breach of any representation or warranty unless the valid claims for all such breaches collectively aggregate more than $20,000.00, in which event the full amount of such valid claims will be actionable, subject to the Liability Cap. Each party hereby waives for itself and anyone who may claim by, through or under the other party any and all rights to sue or recover from Seller any amount greater than the Liability Cap. Each party acknowledges that in no event shall the other party be liable to such party for lost profits, diminution in value, or consequential, incidental or punitive damages of any kind. There shall be no personal liability on the part of the Knowledge Party arising out of this Agreement. Seller

23
4815-0899-8962.7
22484/0204




agrees that through the later of (i) the Limitation Date; and (ii) to the extent that Buyer shall made a claim against Seller pursuant to and in accordance with this Agreement, the final resolution of any claim brought by Buyer in accordance with this Agreement, it shall maintain liquidity of not less than the Liability Cap, less the amount of any claims paid to Buyer under this Agreement. Upon written request from Buyer to Seller, Seller shall provide reasonable documentation evidencing Seller’s satisfaction of the foregoing liquidity covenant, provided, however, that Seller shall not be obligated to deliver such documentation more frequently than quarterly. The provisions of this Section shall survive the Closing.
18. GENERAL PROVISIONS

No modifications or amendments to this Agreement, of any kind whatsoever, shall be made or claimed by Seller or Buyer, and no notices of any extension, change, modification or amendment made or claimed by Seller or Buyer shall have any force or effect whatsoever unless the same shall be endorsed in writing and fully signed by Seller and Buyer.

(g) Waiver. No delay or omission in the exercise of any right or remedy accruing to either party upon any breach by the other party under this Agreement shall impair such right or remedy or be construed as a waiver of any such breach theretofore or thereafter occurring. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall be effective unless it is in writing and signed by the

24
4815-0899-8962.7
22484/0204




party against whom it is asserted and any such written waiver shall only be applicable to the specific instance to which it relates and shall not be deemed to be a continuing or future waiver.

Unless this Agreement expressly or necessarily requires otherwise, any time period measured in “days” means consecutive calendar days, except that the expiration of any time period measured in days that expires on a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday automatically will be extended to the next day so that it is not a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday.
(k) Facsimile, Electronic Signature.  This Agreement may be executed in handwriting and delivered by facsimile or electronic delivery. Any such delivery shall be treated as an original signature for all purposes.
(l) Confidentiality. Except as provided in Section 5(g) or 18(u) of this Agreement, Buyer and Seller shall not disclose the provisions of this Agreement to any third party, and same shall be treated by Buyer and Seller as confidential unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the other party. Moreover, at all times prior to the Closing and forever hereafter should this transaction not close, Buyer and Seller shall retain any and all information related to this Agreement, the transactions contemplated under this Agreement and/or any related transactions, including with respect to any and all contiguous parcels, and the fact that discussions or negotiations have taken place with respect to the Property or any of the terms, conditions or other facts with respect to such discussions (the “Information”) in strict confidence and not disclose the Information to any party without prior written consent of the other party, except that Buyer or Seller may disclose the Information to its directors, officers, employees, lenders, consultants and agents (collectively, hereinafter referred to as “Necessary Representatives”), who need such information for the purpose of proceeding with the transaction, provided that they agree to keep the Information confidential and agree to be bound by this provision of the Agreement. Buyer and Seller shall be responsible for any breach of this provision of the Agreement by its Necessary Representatives. Buyer and Seller agree that the other party shall be entitled to equitable relief, including an injunction, in the event of any breach of this provision of the Agreement as well as all other rights and remedies provided hereunder. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that all of the Confidential Information and any other information obtained by Buyer regarding the Property as a result of Buyer's inspection of the Property shall be and remain confidential. Buyer further agrees and acknowledges that if any such Confidential Information is disclosed to third parties, to Seller’s employees or Seller’s tenants, Seller may suffer damages and irreparable harm. Buyer and Seller expressly acknowledge, covenant and agree (a) that they shall not make any press release or other public disclosure concerning the transaction contemplated by this Agreement without first

25
4815-0899-8962.7
22484/0204




disclosing the intended press release information to the other party, and Buyer shall not disclose any of the contents or information contained in or obtained as a result of any due diligence reports or any other studies made in connection with Buyer's investigation of the Property, in any form whatsoever (including, but not limited to, any verbal information received by Buyer during the course of Buyer's inspection and investigation of the Property), to any party other than Buyer's attorneys, accountants, employees, professional firms performing inspections and report reviews, investors, brokers, agents, consultants, contractors, affiliates and prospective lenders; (b) that in making any disclosure of such information as permitted hereunder, Buyer shall advise such third parties of the confidentiality of such information and the potential of damage to Seller and the liability of Buyer and such third party as a result of any disclosure of such information by such third party and be responsible for such third party's compliance. This Section shall survive cancellation or termination of this Agreement.
