Purchaser shall indemnify, defend and hold Seller’s Indemnified Parties harmless from and against any and all Losses actually incurred in connection with or arising in any way from any Purchaser Investigation conducted by Purchaser and/or any Purchaser Representative; provided that, the foregoing indemnity shall not include any Losses that: (a) result from the mere discovery (but not the exacerbation, and in the event of any exacerbation, Purchaser shall be responsible only to the extent of the exacerbation) by Purchaser or any of other Purchaser Representatives of pre-existing conditions on the Properties (or any portion thereof) during Purchaser Investigations conducted pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of Section 2 of the Access Agreement; (b) are caused by any Seller’s Indemnified Party; or (c) consist of consequential, punitive, exemplary or other special damages.

If this Agreement is terminated for a reason other than Seller’s default, then within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of a written request from any Seller, Purchaser shall deliver to Sellers a copy of all Third Party Reports

At Closing, Purchaser shall assume each Seller’s obligations under the Assumed Property Contracts for such Seller’s Property to the extent first accruing from and after the Closing Date pursuant to the General Assignment for such Property. If any Property Contract to be assigned to Purchaser at Closing hereunder requires vendor or other third-party consent, then, prior to the Closing, Purchaser and Seller shall attempt to obtain a consent to such assignment from each applicable vendor or other third-party, failing which, such Property Contract shall not be assigned to Purchaser at Closing, shall be excluded from, as applicable, Assumed Property Contracts, and shall be considered part of the Terminated Contracts for purposes hereof (each of which shall be terminated by Seller, at Seller’s sole cost and expenses, at or prior to the Closing).

4.3 Subsequently Disclosed Exceptions. If, at any time after the Effective Date, any update to a Title Commitment or Survey discloses any additional item that is not a Purchaser Caused Encumbrance and that materially adversely affects title to a Property, and was not otherwise previously disclosed on any then prior update issued by the Title Insurer to any of the Title Commitments delivered by Purchaser to Seller as set forth in Section 4.1 (the “New Exception”), then Purchaser shall have five (5) Business Days from the date of its receipt of such update (the “New Exception Review Period”) to notify Sellers in writing of Purchaser's objection to the New Exception. If Purchaser objects to the New Exception, then a Seller may in its sole discretion notify Purchaser in writing as to whether or not Seller is willing to cure the New Exception. If a Seller fails to deliver a written notice to Purchaser within three (3) Business Days after the expiration of the New Exception Review Period, then Sellers shall be deemed to have elected not to cure the New Exception.

If Purchaser fails to notify Sellers of its election to terminate this Contract in accordance with the foregoing sentence within three (3) Business Days after the expiration of the New Exception Review Period, then Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected to irrevocably waive any objections to such New Exception with respect to which Seller has elected in writing to not cure or are otherwise deemed to have elected not to cure as set forth above in this Section 4.3 (and each such New Exception shall be deemed to be a Permitted Exception) and without any reduction or abatement of the Purchase Price. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Contract, (a) if the New Exception is a Mandatory Removal Item, then Purchaser shall not be required to object to such New Exception during the New Exception Review Period, and Seller shall be required to cure such New Exception and any and all other Mandatory Removal Items at or prior to the Closing, and (b) the Closing Date shall be automatically extended by up to eleven (11) Business Days if necessary to provide Purchaser with the full New Exception Review Period to object to any New Exception, Sellers with three (3) Business Days after the expiration of the New Exception Review Period to notify Purchaser as to whether Sellers are willing to cure such New Exception and Purchaser with three (3) Business Day after the expiration of the New Exception Review

6.5 Changed Facts or Circumstances. At any time following the Effective Date and prior to the Closing, if any one or more of Seller’s Representations are no longer true and correct in all material respects and such change(s) to such Seller’s Representations result from any changes to facts or circumstances underlying such Seller’s Representations (the “Changed Facts and Circumstances”), which Changed Facts and Circumstances (a) result from any action taken by any Seller as expressly permitted by this Contract, (b) are not within the reasonable control of such Seller (using commercially reasonable efforts) to prevent, or (c) result from any action taken by Purchaser, then such Seller shall not be in default under this Contract as a result thereof, but Purchaser shall be entitled to terminate this Contract pursuant to Section 8.1 by delivering a written notice thereof to Sellers if such Changed Facts and Circumstances (i) did not result from any action taken by any Seller in accordance with Section 7.1 or otherwise with Purchaser’s prior written consent, (ii) did not result from any action taken by Purchaser, and (iii) result in a material adverse change to Seller’s Representations; provided that, Purchaser shall not be entitled to terminate this Contract if the Changed Facts and Circumstances are with respect to (A) the expiration of any Leases prior to the Closing and/or the termination of any Leases prior to the Closing by reason of the tenant’s default thereunder or for any other reason not constituting a default by Seller under this Agreement, or (B) the filing of any litigation against Seller following the Effective Date and prior to the Closing to the extent such litigation is fully covered by Seller’s insurance (and Purchaser would not have any liability or obligation with respect thereto) and disclosed in Seller’s

Article VIIOPERATION OF THE PROPERTIES
7.1 Leases and Property Contracts.
7.2 General Operation of Property. Except as specifically set forth in this Article VII, each Seller shall continue to operate its Property in the ordinary course of business and in substantially the same manner as prior to the Effective Date, provided that each Seller shall not be required to perform any capital repair or replacement projects at the Properties or any portion thereof other than in the ordinary course of business or otherwise as required by the Existing Loan Documents. Each Seller will not make any alterations to its Property other than in the ordinary course of business or remove any Fixtures and Tangible Personal Property (unless such items of Fixtures and Tangible Personal Property are replaced with such items of equal or better quality or such removal is necessary in order to make any repairs to a Property after a casualty, in which case, such items of Fixtures and Tangible Personal Property shall be reinstalled or replaced by Seller with such items of equal or better quality following the completion of such repairs), in each case, without the prior written consent of Purchaser, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Seller may take such actions which are reasonably necessary to address or otherwise prevent any emergency life or safety issue at its Property in compliance with the applicable terms and conditions of the Existing Loan Documents and, if applicable, subject to the provisions of Section 7.1.2; provided that, such Seller shall notify Purchaser in writing of such action to be taken and the basis for such action if commercially practicable (otherwise, Seller shall provide such written notice to Purchaser within two (2) Business Days after such action is taken).
7.3 Liens. Each Seller agrees that it will not voluntarily create or cause any lien or encumbrance to attach to its Property from and after the Effective Date until the Closing Date unless Purchaser approves such lien or encumbrance, which approval may be granted or withheld in Purchaser’s sole and absolute discretion. If Purchaser approves in writing any such subsequent lien or encumbrance, then the same shall be deemed a Permitted Encumbrance for all purposes hereunder.
7.4 Tax Appeals. If any tax reduction proceedings, tax protest proceedings, tax objection, tax compliant or tax assessment appeal or similar proceeding (collectively, a “Tax Appeal”) for any of the Properties, to the extent specified on Schedule 6.1.15 and relating to any tax year ending prior to January 1, 2026, are pending at the time of Closing, then Sellers may, at Sellers’ sole cost and expense, continue to prosecute and/or settle the same without the consent of Purchaser. Sellers may commence a Tax Appeal for any of the Properties relating to any tax year ending prior to January 1, 2026 (but not any tax year commencing on or after such date) without Purchaser’s prior written consent. If any Seller commences such Tax Appeal relating to any tax
year ending prior to January 1, 2026 (or, if any such Tax Appeal is specified on Schedule 6.1.15 and are pending at the time of Closing), then Sellers shall be entitled to, at Sellers’ sole cost and expense, continue to prosecute and/or settle the same (in which event, Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with Sellers, at Sellers’ sole cost and expense, in connection with the prosecution of such proceeding or appeal, including executing such documents as Sellers may reasonably request in order for Sellers to prosecute and/or settle any such proceedings, but only to the extent such documents do not subject Purchaser to any liability or obligation and are in such forms reasonably acceptable to Purchaser). Purchaser shall not independently institute any Tax Appeal for the Properties for any tax years ending prior to January 1, 2026. Any refunds or savings in the payment of taxes resulting from any Tax Appeal applicable to the period prior to the Closing Date shall belong to Sellers and any refunds or savings in the payment of taxes relating to the period from and after the Closing Date shall belong to Purchaser. All attorneys’ fees and other expenses incurred in obtaining such refunds or savings shall be apportioned between Sellers and Purchaser in proportion to the gross amount of such refunds or savings payable to Sellers and Purchaser, respectively. For purposes of this Section 7.4, the “tax year” means the year for which the assessed value and the tax levies are determined, and not the year in which the taxes are payable.
Article VIIICONDITIONS PRECEDENT TO CLOSING
8.1 Purchaser's Conditions to Closing. Purchaser's obligation to close under this Contract shall be subject to and conditioned upon the fulfillment on or before the Closing Date of each of the following conditions precedent (any of which may be waived by Purchaser in writing its sole and absolute discretion):
8.2 Sellers' Conditions to Closing. Each Seller's obligation to close with respect to conveyance of its Property under this Contract shall be subject to and conditioned upon the fulfillment on or before the Closing Date of each of the following conditions precedent (any of which may be waived by such Seller in writing its sole and absolute discretion):
Article IXBROKERAGE
9.1 Indemnity. Each Seller and Purchaser represents and warrants to the other that it has dealt only with XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX (collectively, the “Brokers”) in connection with this Contract. Each Seller and Purchaser represents and warrants to the other that, other than the Brokers, it has not dealt with or utilized the services of any other real estate broker, sales person or finder in connection with this Contract. Sellers and Purchaser agree to indemnify, hold harmless, and, if requested in the sole and absolute discretion of the indemnitee, defend (with counsel reasonably approved by the indemnitee) the other party from and against all Losses relating to any breach by the indemnifying party of the foregoing representation, including any brokerage commissions and finder's fees arising from or attributable to the acts of the indemnifying party; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, Purchaser shall have no obligation or liability whatsoever with respect to any commissions payable to the Brokers.
9.2 Brokers Commission. If Closing occurs, Sellers agree to pay each of the Brokers a commission according to the terms of a separate contract with each of the Brokers, and Sellers agree to indemnify, hold harmless and, if requested in the sole and absolute discretion of Purchaser, defend (with counsel reasonably approved by Purchaser) Purchaser from and against all Losses relating to the payment of commissions which may be owed to the Brokers. The Brokers shall not be deemed a party to or a third-party beneficiary of this Contract.
9.3 Survival. The provisions of this Article IX shall survive the Closing and any termination of this Contract.
Article XDEFAULTS AND REMEDIES
10.1 Purchaser Default. If Purchaser (i) fails to consummate the purchase of the Properties in breach of this Contract (including, without limitation, Purchaser’s failure to fund the balance of the Purchase Price or to deliver any of the documents required to be delivered pursuant to Section 5.3), and provided that all of Purchaser’s conditions precedent set forth in Section 8.1 have been satisfied or otherwise waived in writing by Purchaser, or (ii) prior to the Closing Date,
materially defaults on its covenants set forth in Section 4.5 to use diligent and good faith efforts to attempt to satisfy (A) Lender’s loan assumption guidelines and the requirements set forth in the Assumed Loan Documents to allow for each Loan Assumption and Release, and (B) Lender’s loan origination guidelines and requirements for obtaining the Supplemental Loan (in each case, subject to, if applicable, the terms of Section 10.3), then Sellers may terminate this Contract (without Purchaser having the right to cure such failure) upon delivery of a written notice thereof to Purchaser and Escrow Agent, and upon delivery of such written notice of termination to Purchaser and Escrow Agent, (a) this Contract shall terminate, (b) Purchaser shall forfeit the Deposit as liquidated damages, (c) the Escrow Agent shall deliver the Applicable Share of the Deposit to each Seller, and (d) none of the parties shall have any further obligations under this Contract except for such obligations which by their terms expressly survive termination of this Contract (and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, none of the parties shall be obligated to proceed with the purchase and sale of the Properties). The Deposit is liquidated damages and recourse to the Deposit is, except for Purchaser's indemnity and confidentiality obligations hereunder which by their terms expressly survive the termination of this Contract and Sellers’ right to recover attorneys’ fees pursuant to Section 13.16 hereof, Sellers' sole and exclusive remedy for Purchaser's failure to perform its obligation to purchase the Properties in breach of this Contract. Sellers expressly waive the remedies of specific performance and additional damages for such default by Purchaser. SELLERS AND PURCHASER ACKNOWLEDGE THAT SELLERS' DAMAGES WOULD BE DIFFICULT TO DETERMINE, AND THAT THE DEPOSIT IS A REASONABLE ESTIMATE OF SELLERS' DAMAGES RESULTING FROM A DEFAULT BY PURCHASER IN ITS OBLIGATION TO PURCHASE THE PROPERTIES. SELLERS AND PURCHASER FURTHER AGREE THAT THIS SECTION 10.1 IS INTENDED TO AND DOES LIQUIDATE THE AMOUNT OF DAMAGES DUE SELLERS, AND SHALL BE SELLERS' EXCLUSIVE REMEDY AGAINST PURCHASER, BOTH AT LAW AND IN EQUITY, ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO A BREACH BY PURCHASER OF ITS OBLIGATION TO CONSUMMATE THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS CONTRACT, OTHER THAN WITH RESPECT TO PURCHASER'S INDEMNITY AND CONFIDENTIALITY OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER WHICH BY EXPRESS TERMS SURVIVE THE TERMINATION OF THIS CONTRACT AND SELLERS’ RIGHT TO RECOVER ATTORNEYS’ FEES PURSUANT TO SECTION 13.16 HEREOF.
10.2 Seller Default. If any Seller (i) defaults on its obligations hereunder to deliver to Escrow Agent the deliveries specified under Section 5.2 on the date required thereunder, or to close on the sale of any of the Properties on the Closing Date (and provided that all of Sellers’ conditions precedent set forth in Section 8.2 have been satisfied or otherwise waived in writing by Sellers) or (ii) prior to the Closing, materially defaults on any of its representations, covenants or obligations under this Contract (subject to, if applicable, the terms of Section 10.3), then, at Purchaser's election and as Purchaser's exclusive remedy, Purchaser may either (a) terminate this Contract in its entirety (and not in part), and the Deposit shall be returned to Purchaser, or (b) subject to the conditions below, seek specific performance of Sellers’ obligation to close on the sale of the Properties pursuant to this Contract. If Purchaser elects to terminate this Contract, then Purchaser shall recover from Sellers, as its sole recoverable damages (but without limiting its right to receive a refund of the Deposit) its direct and actual out of pocket expenses and costs (documented by paid invoices to third parties) in connection with this transaction, which damages shall not exceed XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX in the aggregate. Purchaser may seek specific performance of Sellers’ obligation to close on the sale of the Properties pursuant to this Contract
only if, as a condition precedent to initiating such litigation for specific performance, Purchaser shall file suit therefor with the court on or before the XXXXXXXXX day after the scheduled Closing Date. If Purchaser fails to file an action for specific performance within XXXXXXXXXX days after the scheduled Closing Date, then Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected to terminate the Contract in accordance with subsection (a) above. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if Purchaser has elected to seek specific performance of this Contract as set forth above, but specific performance is not available to Purchaser solely as a result of Sellers’ intentional and willful transfer of title to any of the Properties to a third party in violation of this Contract, then Purchaser shall be entitled to recover from Sellers, in addition to the reimbursement of its out of pocket expenses and costs as set forth above, any and all actual damages and consequential damages. SELLERS AND PURCHASER AGREE THAT THIS SECTION 10.2 IS INTENDED TO AND DOES LIMIT THE AMOUNT OF DAMAGES DUE PURCHASER AND THE REMEDIES AVAILABLE TO PURCHASER IN THE EVENT OF A SELLER’S DEFAULT UNDER THIS CONTRACT PRIOR TO THE CLOSING, AND, EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION 10.2, SHALL BE PURCHASER'S EXCLUSIVE REMEDY AGAINST SELLERS, BOTH AT LAW AND IN EQUITY, ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO A BREACH BY ANY SELLER OF ITS COVENANTS PRIOR TO THE CLOSING OR ITS OBLIGATION TO CONSUMMATE THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS CONTRACT. EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE SET FORTH ABOVE IN THIS SECTION 10.2, UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES MAY PURCHASER SEEK OR BE ENTITLED TO RECOVER ANY SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE, SPECULATIVE OR INDIRECT DAMAGES, ALL OF WHICH PURCHASER SPECIFICALLY WAIVES, FROM SELLERS FOR ANY BREACH BY SELLERS OF THEIR COVENANTS OR OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS CONTRACT. PURCHASER SPECIFICALLY WAIVES THE RIGHT TO FILE ANY LIS PENDENS OR ANY LIEN AGAINST THE PROPERTIES UNLESS PURCHASER HAS FILED AN ACTION SEEKING SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE OF THIS CONTRACT. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY HEREIN, NOTHING SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION 10.2 SHALL LIMIT OR RESTRICT PURCHASER’S RIGHTS AND REMEDIES, AND ENFORCING SELLERS’ OBLIGATIONS, UNDER ARTICLE IX, SECTION 13.13 AND SECTION 13.16.
10.3 Notice and Cure Right. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Contract, if either any Seller or Purchaser is in breach under this Agreement (the “Defaulting Party”), then the other party (the “Non-Defaulting Party”) shall deliver written notice to the Defaulting Party of such breach, and (a) the Defaulting Party shall have until the date that is XXXXXXXX days after the Defaulting Party’s receipt of such written notice to cure the breach, and (b) the Defaulting Party shall not be in default under this Agreement if the Defaulting Party cures such breach by no later than the date that is XXXXXXX days after the Defaulting Party’s receipt of such written notice; provided, however, the foregoing shall not apply with respect to (i) a default by any Seller or Purchaser in its obligations to close the transactions contemplated by this Contract on the Closing Date, or (ii) a default by any Seller or Purchaser in its obligations to timely deliver the documents and other instruments (and, as to Purchaser, also the funds) to Escrow Agent pursuant to Section 2.2.3, Section 5.2 or Section 5.3, respectively.
Article XICASUALTY
11.1 Major Damage. If any damage or casualty to any Property occurs then Sellers shall provide Purchaser with written notice thereof within three (3) days after Sellers obtain knowledge of the damage or casualty event. If a Property or any portion thereof is damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty prior to the Closing Date, and the cost to repair such damage or destruction (as reasonably estimated by a licensed architect or engineer selected by Sellers and reasonably acceptable to Purchaser) is equal to or greater XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX then Purchaser may elect, by written notice to Sellers given within ten (10) days after the date that Purchaser receives notice of such damage or destruction, to:
11.2 Repairs. If a Seller elects to commence any repairs to a damaged Property prior to Closing, then such Seller shall be entitled to receive and apply available insurance proceeds to any portion of such repairs completed prior to Closing, with Purchaser being responsible for completion of such repairs after Closing (subject to Purchaser receiving the remaining insurance proceeds and, if such remaining insurance proceeds are insufficient to pay for such repairs, then Purchaser shall receive a credit at Closing for the amount of such deficiency); provided that, any construction and other contracts proposed to be entered into by such Seller with respect to such repairs shall be subject to Purchaser’s prior written approval (not to be unreasonably withheld) if the repairs or installation thereunder will not be completed prior to the Closing Date. If any repairs have been commenced prior to Closing, then the Property Contracts shall include, and Purchaser shall assume at Closing, all construction and other contracts entered into by applicable Seller in connection with such repairs to the extent such contracts shall have been approved by Purchaser (in its reasonable discretion) as set forth above in this Section 11.2.
Article XIIEMINENT DOMAIN
12.1 Eminent Domain. If any condemnation or eminent domain proceedings of any kind are commenced against any Property, then Sellers shall give notice to Purchaser of any such proceedings within three (3) days after Sellers receive written notice thereof. If prior to Closing: (a) a material part of any Property is taken by condemnation or eminent domain proceedings of any kind, or (b) condemnation or eminent domain proceedings of any kind are instituted against a material portion of a Property, then Purchaser may elect, by written notice to Sellers given within ten (10) days after receipt of notice thereof from any Seller, to:
Article XIIIMISCELLANEOUS
13.1 Binding Effect of Contract. This Contract shall not be binding on any party until executed by both Purchaser and all Sellers. The Escrow Agent's execution of this Contract shall not be a prerequisite to its effectiveness. Subject to Section 13.3, this Contract shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Sellers and Purchaser, and their respective successors, and permitted assigns.
13.2 Exhibits and Schedules. All Exhibits and Schedules annexed hereto are a part of this Contract for all purposes.
13.3 Assignability. Except to the extent required to comply with the provisions of Section 13.18 related to a 1031 Exchange, this Contract is not assignable by Purchaser without first obtaining the prior written approval of Sellers. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser may assign this Contract to an entity that is a Permitted Assignee, provided that any such assignment shall not (i) prevent or result in the revocation of the approval by the Lender of the Loan Assumption and Release and the Supplemental Loan or (ii) cause a delay in Purchaser obtaining the approval by the Lender of the Loan Assumption and Release and the Supplemental Loan by the Closing Date (as the same may be extended pursuant to Section 5.1).
