by Seller without consent or approval of any third party, (A) all

“ Property Permits ”).
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that Buyer acknowledges and
agrees that Buyer is agreeing to purchase and shall purchase the
Property in its “AS-IS, WHERE-IS” condition, subject to
Buyer’s inspection rights set forth in Section 5
hereof. All of the property, rights and privileges described above
in this Section 1 are collectively referred to as the
“ Property ”. The portion of the Property
demised under each Closing Lease (as hereinafter defined) is herein
referred to as an “ Individual Property ”.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this
Agreement, including under this Section 1 , Seller and Buyer
agree that Seller shall not be obligated to transfer, and is not
transferring, to Buyer as part of the Leases, Warranties and/or
Property Permits, in part or in whole, any licenses, trademarks,
trade dress, service marks, logos or insignia, any written or oral
contracts, agreements, indemnities, licenses, permits and/or
approvals pertaining to the purveying, inventory or supply of food
and/or stocking, sale or consumption of alcoholic beverages upon
any Individual Property, any signage boards or any intellectual
property rights whatsoever as may be owned or exist in favor of
Seller, or its respective successors or assigns, pertaining to the
business(es) operating or to operate upon or within any portion of
the Land or Improvements.
PROVIDED, FURTHER, HOWEVER, Seller and Buyer
agree that Seller has not agreed to transfer, shall also not be
obligated to transfer, and is not transferring to Buyer as part of
the assets to be conveyed hereunder any of Seller’s right,
title and/or interests in any Personal Property (as hereinafter
defined). As used herein, “ Personal Property ”
shall mean, with respect to each Individual Property and the
Property, collectively, all of the following, whether now or
hereafter owned or acquired by Seller, or in which Seller has any
interest: all property excluded from the Leases, Warranties and
Property Permits as noted above, all furniture, trade fixtures,
sign posts, sign standards, signage panels, any other fixtures
(including, but not limited, to window grills and Seller’s
branded bar-tops) containing protected intellectual property owned
by or licensed to Seller, any accounts or deposits, financial
information, books and/or records of Seller or any tenant(s) under
any Lease or under any Closing Lease, neon signage, food and
customer service equipment (whether unattached or attached to the
Improvements by bolts and screws and/or by utility connections),
removable equipment, any and all inventory existing within or upon
any Individual Property (including, without limitation, supplies,
foods and beverages), and other items of personal property now
owned, acquired, held or used by Seller in its restaurant
operations and all additions to, substitutions for and replacements
of the foregoing.
PROVIDED, FURTHER, HOWEVER, notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Agreement, including in this
Section 1 , Seller and Buyer agree, within ten (10) business
days after the Effective Date, to enter into a letter of intent (a
“ LOI ”) with respect to any Individual Property
that is subject to a pre-existing right of first refusal to
purchase or other purchase right that grants to a third party the
right to require Seller to offer to sell such Individual Property
to it (individually, a “ Separate Restaurant ”
and collectively, the “ Separate Restaurants ”).
The terms and conditions of any LOI or agreement of Seller to sell
and transfer a Separate Restaurant shall be governed solely by the
LOI and any resultant sales contract pertaining thereto for such
Separate Restaurant and not by this Agreement except to the extent
that certain provisions of this Agreement may be incorporated by
reference into a LOI and subsequent sales contract, as applicable.
In the event that the holder of a pre-existing right of first
refusal to purchase or other purchase right with respect to a
Separate Restaurant exercises such right, no breach or default by
Seller deemed to have occurred under this Agreement, Seller shall
have no obligation under this Agreement or otherwise to sell and
transfer such Separate Restaurant to Buyer (or to execute any
related Closing documents, including any Closing Lease, pertaining
thereto), and the Purchase Price (as hereinafter defined) shall be
reduced by the portion thereof allocated to any such Separate
Restaurant not sold and transferred to Buyer. By its execution of
this Agreement, Seller has no intention to activate or trigger the
rights of any third party pursuant to an existing right of first
refusal to purchase or other purchase right. In the event that
Seller is able to obtain a Waiver (as hereinafter defined) of such
right of first refusal to purchase or other purchase right with
respect to a Separate Restaurant prior to the execution of a LOI
and/or sales contract resulting therefrom for such Separate
Restaurant, Seller and Buyer shall take action to cause this
Agreement to apply to and to govern the terms of the proposed sale
of such Separate Restaurant to Buyer. For purposes of this
Agreement, the term “ Waiver ” shall mean an
irrevocable waiver or other evidence in form acceptable to Seller
from the holder of a right of first refusal or other prior rights
to purchase a Separate Restaurant to the effect that such holder
has declined to exercise such right so that Seller may sell and
transfer such Separate Restaurant without violating such right of
first refusal or other prior right to purchase.

(generally applied), Buyer also shall keep all such Inspection
Documents, together with all other materials delivered to or for
Buyer in accordance with this Agreement, separate from
Buyer’s other books and records.
(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set
forth in this Section 5 or elsewhere in this Agreement,

anything to the contrary as may be set forth elsewhere in this
Agreement, including, without limitation, in Sections 5, 9, 12,
14 and 16(a) hereof, Seller may, upon not less than two (2)
business days’ written notice to Buyer, without any
continuing or additional liability or obligation to Buyer or any
affiliate of Buyer, any co-investor of Buyer, any successor or
assign of Buyer hereunder or otherwise (except for return of the
Deposit to Buyer) terminate this Agreement at any time prior to the
Closing upon payment by Seller to Buyer, of Buyer’s Out of
Pocket Expenses (as hereinafter defined) that relate only to this
Agreement, and upon return to Buyer of the Deposit, in the event
that: (a) Buyer invokes rights to terminate this Agreement as to
any one or more Terminated Properties, or either of the other
buyers (individually, an “ Other Buyer ”; and
collectively, the “ Other Buyers ”) under the
separate Agreements for Purchase and Sale listed in Schedule
6 attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference (the
“ Other Agreements ”) invokes rights to
terminate either of the Other Agreements, as applicable, as to any
one or more “Terminated Properties” (as such term is
defined in each of the Other Agreements, each an “ Other
Terminated Property ”, and collectively, the “
Other Terminated Properties ”), which results in a
termination of this Agreement and/or the Other Agreements with
respect to more than five (5) Terminated Properties and/or Other
Terminated Properties in the aggregate (excluding any Separate
Restaurants that Seller cannot convey at the Closing or the
closings under the Other Agreements as a result of the existence of
a right of first refusal to purchase or other purchase right, and
excluding store number 319 as identified on "Exhibit A" attached to
that certain Agreement for Purchase and Sale between Trustreet
Properties, Inc., as buyer, and Seller, dated as of the date hereof
(the " Trustreet Agreement "), and as further discussed

the extent Trustreet Properties, Inc. terminates the Trustreet
Agreement with respect to such store number 319 in accordance with
Section 12 of the Trustreet Agreement); provided, however,
Buyer and Other Buyers shall each have the right, but not the
obligation, upon joint written notice to Seller from Buyer and all
Other Buyers not less than two (2) business days prior
to the Closing
Date specifying which Terminated Properties or, as applicable,
Other Terminated Properties Buyer or, as applicable, the Other
Buyer(s) agree to so purchase and providing assignment and other
instruments and documents in a form and content reasonably
acceptable to Seller evidencing the transfer of such purchase
rights and obligations, to purchase any of the Terminated
Properties and/or the Other Terminated Properties, as applicable,
so as to reduce the aggregate amount of Terminated Properties and
Other Terminated Properties below five (5), whereby Seller shall no
longer have a termination right under this Section 6(a) ;
(b) CBRL fails, or for any reason is unable to, consummate that
certain stock sale as it pertains to Seller's stock pursuant to the
terms and conditions of the Stock Purchase Agreement; (c) Seller
shall be deemed to have elected to terminate this Agreement and the
Other Agreements as provided in Section 21(i) hereof; or (d)
Seller elects to terminate this Agreement and the Other Agreements
in Seller’s sole discretion for a reason other than
Buyer’s breach or default or failure or refusal to close
under this Agreement as contemplated by Section 16(b)
hereof. Any termination of this Agreement as contemplated by this
Section 6 shall not, in part or in whole, be deemed a breach
or default by Seller hereunder for the purposes of Section
16 hereof. Upon payment of the amounts required to be paid by
Seller under this Section 6 in the event Seller terminates
this Agreement, Buyer agrees to execute all assignments and/or
other transfer documents reasonably requested by Seller to transfer
ownership to Seller of all title work, third-party reports, surveys
and other due diligence materials obtained by Buyer, and Buyer
shall also cooperate in good faith with Seller, at Seller’s
cost and expense, to cause its third-party consultants to certify
or re-issue all such third-party reports regarding the Property to
Seller. Nothing under this Agreement shall modify or amend that
certain letter agreement by and between Seller and Wachovia Capital
Markets, LLC, dated October 17, 2006.
7.

Closing, shall pay for all transfer taxes and recordation taxes (if
any), all recording and filing charges in connection with
instruments by which Seller conveys the Property, all costs and
fees in connection with obtaining an updated ALTA survey of each
Individual Property certified to Buyer and to Buyer’s title
insurance company (the “ Title Company ”), all
costs and fees in connection with Buyer’s obtaining an
owner’s title insurance policy for each Individual Property
with extended coverage and together with such endorsements as
required by Buyer in its commercially reasonable discretion and
customary for transactions such as the Transaction (and in all
events excluding any and all premiums and costs of any title
insurance policies and associated endorsements required by any
lender of Buyer, if any), all costs and fees in connection with
Buyer’s obtaining for each Individual Property a Phase I
environmental report and an appraisal, all costs and fees in
connection with Buyer’s obtaining a confirmation of the

without limitation, the fees and costs of engaging a zoning
consultant to prepare a zoning report for each Individual
Property), the reasonable fees and costs of Seller’s legal
counsel (including, without limitation, Seller engaged local
counsel) and Wolf, Block, Schorr and Solis-Cohen LLP (“
Wolf Block ”), as counsel to Buyer and the Other
Buyers. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this
Section 7 or elsewhere in this Agreement, Seller’s
obligations hereunder as they pertain to the Buyer’s costs,
expenses and reasonable legal fees and costs shall apply only to
such costs and expenses incurred directly by Buyer and not to such
costs, expenses, legal fees or otherwise of any co-investor of
Buyer, any successor or assign of Buyer hereunder or otherwise,
including, without limitation, under any of the Other
Agreements.
8.
Tax, Rent and Expense
Proration .With respect
to each Individual Property, Seller and Buyer agree that because
Seller and Buyer are entering into a Closing Lease with respect to
such Individual Property, neither ad valorem property taxes on such
Individual Property, nor any other expenses such as utilities,
maintenance and other operating expenses incurred in connection
with such Individual Property, shall be prorated as of the Closing
Date; provided, however, that Seller agrees to provide to the Title
Company such documents and/or indemnities together with such
deposits or payment direction as the Title Company may reasonably
require as to each such Individual Property to limit any exception
for ad valorem property taxes in any title insurance policy
delivered hereunder only to ad valorem property taxes and
assessments, if any, applicable to each such Individual Property
that are not yet due and payable.
9.
Risk of Loss
.Risk of loss prior to the Closing
shall be on Seller. If, prior to the Closing and subject to the
provisions of Section 6 hereof, any Individual Property
shall be materially damaged by fire or other casualty with a cost
to repair of more than Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000.00), and if
any destruction or damage is not repaired by Seller prior to the
Closing or arrangements for repairs satisfactory to Buyer are not
made prior to the Closing so that such Individual Property shall,
in the opinion of Buyer, be in substantially as good a condition at
the Closing as existed prior to such damage or destruction, then
this Agreement may, at the option of Buyer (and without Seller
being deemed in breach or default hereof to any extent for having
failed to reconstruct such Individual Property), be terminated with
respect to such Individual Property, Buyer shall receive a refund
of the pro rata portion of the Deposit allocable to such Individual
Property, the Purchase Price payable by Buyer under this Agreement
shall be reduced by the portion thereof allocated to such
Individual Property as set forth on Schedule 2 hereto, and
neither party shall have any further liability hereunder with
respect to such Individual Property. If, after the occurrence of
any such casualty, this Agreement is not so terminated with respect
to such Individual Property by Buyer and Buyer elects to proceed to
purchase such Individual Property in the damaged condition at
Closing, nothing under this Agreement shall be construed so as to
modify and/or amend the Seller’s or Buyer’s subsequent
rights or obligations with respect to such Individual Property
under terms and conditions of the applicable Closing Lease
pertaining to such Individual Property, including Seller’s
thereunder as Tenant (as hereinafter defined), and Seller, as
Tenant, shall retain all obligations, rights and privileges with
respect to the subsequent repair and restoration of such Individual
Property and collection, payment, disbursement and retention of
insurance proceeds as may be provided for by the terms and
conditions of the subject Closing Lease.
10.
Insurance Policies
.Seller shall maintain all
insurance policies affecting the Property that Seller has in place
as of the end of the Effective Date through the date of Closing
Date (subject to customary renewals and extensions and insurance
company imposed modifications that are immaterial in substance);
provided, however, that the foregoing shall not require Seller to
assign any such insurance policies or coverages to Buyer or any
designee, assign or successor of Buyer, and Seller may amend and
modify such coverage, in part or in whole, or enter into new
policies with different insurance providers for similar coverages
so long as such coverages as generally provided thereby are
substantially equivalent to or better than Seller’s insurance
policies and coverages in place as of the Effective Date hereof.
Seller shall provide written notice to Buyer of any such
modifications, amendments or substitutions made by it in accordance
with the foregoing.
11.
Brokerage Commissions
.Each of Seller and Buyer represents
and warrants to the other that it has not dealt with any broker or
third party entitled to a commission or fee in connection with the
transaction contemplated by this Agreement (the “
Transaction ”). In the event of a breach by a party
hereto of its foregoing representation and warranty, the breaching
party agrees to save, defend, indemnify and hold harmless the
non-breaching party from and against any claims, losses, damages,
liabilities and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable
attorneys’ fees arising from such breach. The obligations of
this Section 11 shall survive the Closing or earlier
termination of this Agreement.
12.
Eminent Domain
.If, prior to the Closing, all or
any part of an Individual Property is taken by eminent domain or if
condemnation proceedings are commenced with respect to all or any
part of an Individual Property, Seller shall give Buyer prompt
notice of such taking, and Buyer shall have the option, by written
notice to Seller and subject to the provisions of Section 6
hereof, to terminate this Agreement with respect to such Individual
Property if the taking is the entirety of an Individual Property or
amounts to a Material Taking (as defined hereinafter). If Buyer
elects to terminate this Agreement with respect to such Individual
Property, Buyer shall receive a refund of that portion of the
Deposit allocable to such Individual Property, the Purchase Price
payable by Buyer under this Agreement shall be reduced by the
portion thereof allocated to such Individual Property as set forth
on Schedule 2 hereto, and neither party shall have any
further liability hereunder with respect to such Individual
Property. If, after the occurrence of any such taking, this
Agreement is not so terminated with respect to such Individual
Property by Buyer as contemplated by this Section 12 and
Buyer elects to proceed to purchase such Individual Property in the
damaged condition at Closing, nothing under this Agreement shall be
construed so as to modify and/or amend the Seller’s or
Buyer’s subsequent rights or obligations with respect to such
Individual Property under terms and conditions of the applicable
Closing Lease pertaining to such Individual Property, including
Seller’s thereunder as Tenant, and Seller, as Tenant, shall
retain all obligations, rights and privileges with respect to the
subsequent repair and restoration of such Individual Property and
the collection, payment, disbursement and retention of awards made
for such taking as may be provided for by the terms and conditions
of the subject Closing Lease. The term “ Material
Taking ” as used herein shall mean a partial or entire
taking or commencement of condemnation proceedings whereby (a) the
access points to the Individual Property are or would be materially
impaired such that such Individual Property does not or would not
have commercially reasonable access for the business operations
conducted thereon and is thus effectively rendered untenantable,
(b) ten percent (10%) or more of the parking area upon the Land of
the Individual Property is lost, or the parking capacity serving
the subject Individual Property is otherwise reduced below that
required by local zoning or other applicable regulations or
requirements, (c) any portion of the Improvements is permanently
closed or required to be removed such that the remaining portions
of the Improvements upon the Land of the subject Individual
Property are deemed to be uneconomical for Seller’s future
business operations under the Closing Lease, or (d) Seller’s
ability to otherwise conduct its business operations within and
upon the Land and Improvements will be materially and adversely
affected.
(a) Between the date of this Agreement and the
Closing, Seller shall cause the Property to be maintained in
substantially the same condition and repair as currently
being
maintained,
except for ordinary wear and tear and, subject to the provisions of
Sections 9 and 12 hereof, damage from condemnation or
casualty only, free from any mechanic’s liens, and shall not
cause or permit any physical waste upon the Property. Seller shall
not take any action which would adversely and materially affect the
value of or the title to any Individual Property. Seller further
agrees to perform all such work and obligations as are required to
be done to the Property under the terms of any agreements affecting
the Property and otherwise operate and maintain the Property in
substantially the same manner as prior to the Effective
Date.
(b) Seller further agrees, with respect to each
Individual Property from the Effective Date and through
consummation of Closing on the Closing Date:
(i) intentionally omitted;
(ii) not to enter into any transaction with respect
to or affecting such Individual Property which would bind Buyer
following the Closing Date, without Buyer’s prior written
consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld,
conditioned or delayed by Buyer if the proposed transaction would
not have a material adverse effect upon the post-Closing Date
operations of the subject Individual Property;
(iii) not to sell, transfer, pledge, encumber or grant
any interest in such Individual Property, or any part thereof, in
any form or manner whatsoever or otherwise perform or permit any

will not be satisfied and paid in full at or prior to the
Closing;
(v) not to enter into any contracts, agreements,
guarantees, warranties and indemnities, written or oral, affecting

materialman’s lien or other encumbrance) since the date of
issuance by the Title Company of an owner’s title insurance
commitment for each Individual Property with respect to this
Agreement, and the Title Company shall be prepared to issue to

its commercially reasonable discretion as contemplated by
Section 7 hereof to the owner’s title insurance policy
on the Land and the Improvements for each Individual Property,
subject only to the Permitted Exceptions;
(4) there shall have been, as determined by Buyer in
its commercially reasonable discretion, no material adverse change
in the status of any matter reviewed by Buyer under this Agreement
between the expiration of the Inspection Period and, if later, the
Closing Date;
(5) there shall not have occurred any material
adverse condition or material adverse change in or affecting, or
the occurrence of any circumstance or condition that
could
reasonably be expected to result in a material adverse change in,
or affecting, the business, operations, condition (financial or
otherwise), assets or liabilities (whether actual or contingent) of
Seller and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole;
(6) except for (A) normal wear and tear, (B)
remodeling commenced by Seller prior to the Closing Date, and (C)
subject to the provisions of Sections 9 and 12 hereof,
damage resulting from casualty and condemnation only, each
Individual Property (other than any Individual Property as to which

12 hereof) shall be in substantially the same condition on the
Closing Date as existed as of the Effective Date and no material
adverse change shall have occurred with respect to such Individual
Property since the Effective Date;
(7) except as set forth on Schedule 14(a)(7)
attached hereto and incorporated herein, Seller shall not have, and
to Seller’s Knowledge, no agent of Seller shall have,
received any notice from any city, county or any governmental
authority of any taking of the Property, or any portion of the
Property, by eminent domain or similar proceeding, and no such
taking or other condemnation of the Property, or any portion
thereof, shall be, to Seller’s Knowledge, threatened or
contemplated by any such governmental authority;
(8) Seller shall have presented evidence
satisfactory to Buyer and the Title Company with respect to the
right, power and authority of designated representative(s) of

same entity that is the borrower under any Revolving Credit
Agreement, Term Loan Agreement, Bond Indenture or Mezzanine Loan
Agreement entered into in connection with the Stock Purchase
Agreement.
With respect to each Individual Property, if any
of the foregoing conditions in this Section 14(a) shall not

a material adverse impact on one or more Individual Properties,
Buyer may, at its election, (i) terminate its obligations to
purchase such Individual Property, (ii) waive such condition and
complete the purchase of such Individual Property without any
reduction in the Purchase Price, or (iii) require Seller to perform

aggregate as to all of the Property proposed to be conveyed
pursuant to this Agreement and the “Property” (as such
term is defined in each Other Agreements) proposed to be conveyed
pursuant to the Other Agreements, expressly excluding, however, the
costs of removing any lien(s) which is capable of being removed
solely by the payment of money. If Buyer elects to
terminate this
Agreement with respect to such Individual Property, Buyer shall
receive a refund of that portion of the Deposit allocable to such
Individual Property, and neither party shall have any further
liability hereunder with respect to such Individual
Property.
(b)
Conditions Precedent to
Seller’s Obligations Regarding Closing.
In addition to any other conditions
set forth in this Agreement, Seller’s obligation to
consummate the Transaction is expressly contingent upon the
following provisions, any of which may be waived by written notice
from Seller to Buyer:
(1) Buyer shall have complied with and otherwise
performed each of the covenants and obligations of Buyer set forth
in this Agreement (including, without limitation, delivery of all
of the documents and other items required of Buyer pursuant to
Section 15(b) hereof);
(2) all representations and warranties of Buyer as
set forth in this Agreement shall be true and correct in all
material respects as of the Closing Date;
(3) the closing under each of the Other Agreements
shall occur concurrently with the Closing; provided, however, if
either or both of Other Buyers breach or default in their
obligations under the Other Agreements or otherwise refuse or are
unable to close under either or both of the Other Agreements
concurrently with the Closing hereunder, then, in such event,
Buyer, in conjunction with any remaining Other Buyer, shall have
the right, but not the obligation, upon joint written notice to
Seller from Buyer and all Other Buyers not less than two (2)
business days prior to the Closing Date, specifying the
“Individual Properties” (as defined under the Other
Agreement(s)) which Other Buyer(s) is (are) refusing to or is (are)
unable to close upon and which Buyer and/or an Other Buyer desire
to purchase pursuant to such Other Agreement(s) and providing
assignment and such other instruments and documents in a form and
content reasonably acceptable to Seller evidencing the transfer of
such purchase rights and obligations, to purchase such
“Individual Properties” (as defined under the Other
Agreement(s)) in order to cause the closing(s) to occur under the
Other Agreement(s) and thereby to cause the condition of this
Section 14(b)(3) to be satisfied; and
(4) The Closing shall occur no later than
immediately prior to the closing as contemplated under the Stock
Purchase Agreement.
If any of the foregoing conditions in this
Section 14(b) shall not be satisfied prior to the Closing
Date, Seller may, at its election, terminate this Agreement. In the
event of any termination of this Agreement by Seller pursuant to
this Section 14(b) , neither Seller nor Buyer shall have any
further obligations hereunder except for (i) Buyer’s
obligation to return materials delivered to or for Buyer as
contemplated in Section 5(a) hereof as provided therein, and
(ii) Seller’s obligation to pay Buyer’s Out of Pocket
Expenses as relate solely to this Agreement (provided, that Seller
shall not be obligated to pay such Buyer's Out of Pocket Expenses
to the extent such Buyer's Out of Pocket Expenses are duplicative
of any Buyer's Out of Pocket Expenses payable under the Other
Agreements, nor to the extent such expenses exceed the
$1,750,000.00 limitation set forth hereinafter for all
Buyer’s Out of Pocket Expenses recoverable under this
Agreement and the Other Agreements, collectively). Upon payment of
the amounts required to be paid by Seller under this Section
14(b) in the event Seller terminates this
Agreement,
Buyer agrees to execute all assignments and/or other transfer
documents reasonably requested by Seller to transfer ownership to
Seller of all title work, third-party reports, surveys and other
due diligence materials obtained by Buyer, and Buyer shall also
cooperate in good faith with Seller, at Seller’s cost and
expense, to cause its third-party consultants to certify or
re-issue all such third-party reports regarding the Property to
Seller. In addition, in the event of any termination of this
Agreement by Seller pursuant to this Section 14(b)(1), (2) or
(4) , Seller shall retain the Deposit.
(a) At Closing, Seller shall deliver to Buyer the
following with respect to each Individual Property:
(1) a duly executed Special Warranty Deed with
respect to each Individual Property, in substantially the form
applicable to each state in which each Individual Property is
located to be provided to Buyer by Seller and to be agreed upon as
to such general form by Seller and Buyer at least five (5) days
prior to the Closing Date (the “ Deed ”), which
Deed shall transfer fee simple title to the Land and Improvements
comprising each Individual Property, free from liens, encumbrances,
restrictions, rights-of-way and other matters, excepting only the
Permitted Exceptions and any other matters consented to in writing
by Buyer. As used herein, “ Permitted Exceptions
” shall mean, as to each Individual Property, (i) all those
certain matters to be listed on Schedule B to Buyer’s
owner’s title insurance policy for such Individual Property
as negotiated in good faith by Buyer and the applicable title
insurer issuing Buyer’s owner’s title insurance policy,
or as otherwise agreed upon by Buyer in writing and including any
mortgage or lien, if any, as may be placed by Buyer upon
Buyer’s interest(s) in such Individual Property, (ii) any
easement, condition, restriction, agreement, encumbrance of record
and other title defect which does not (individually or in the
aggregate) materially and adversely affect the current use of the
Property, (iii) property taxes which are a lien but not yet due and
payable, and (iv) any laws, rules, regulations, statutes,
ordinances, orders or other legal requirements affecting any
Individual Property, including, without limitation, those relating

assignable right, title and interest in the Warranties, the
Property Permits and any other portion of the Property that is not
real property and is transferable pursuant to such Bill of
Sale;
(3) an appropriate affidavit or other evidence
reasonably acceptable to Seller and the Title Company attesting, as
to each Individual Property, to the absence of liens, lien rights,
rights of parties in possession (other than the Tenant under the
Closing Lease for such Individual Property and the tenants under
the applicable Leases) and other encumbrances arising under Seller
(other than the Permitted Exceptions) and naming both Buyer and the
Title Company as benefited parties, so as to enable the Title
Company to delete the standard exceptions for such matters from
Buyer’s owner’s policy of title insurance for such
Individual Property and otherwise to insure any gap period
occurring between the Closing and the recordation of the closing
documents relating to such Individual Property;
(4) an original lease substantially in the form of
Exhibit C hereto (as the same may be amended in good faith
and by mutual agreement of the parties hereto to accommodate any
comments by Seller's accountant regarding operating lease
requirements, the “ Closing Lease ”) for each
such Individual Property duly executed by Seller as the Tenant
thereunder;
(5) an original tenant estoppel certificate in the
form required under the Closing Lease for such Individual Property,
dated as of the Closing Date and duly executed by the Tenant under
such Closing Lease, if requested by a lender acquiring at the

in such Individual Property or such Closing Lease;

correct in all material respects as of the Closing Date (or to the
extent any of such representations and warranties are no longer
true, accurate and correct in all material respects, containing
updates or revisions thereto), and which warranties and
representations of Seller and the provisions of Section 19
hereof and said closing certificate shall survive the Closing for a
period of one (1) year;
(11) an appropriate FIRPTA affidavit or certificate
by Seller evidencing that Seller is not a foreign person or entity
under Section 1445(f)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended;
(12) the Director’s Consent;
(13) such other documents as Buyer’s counsel or
the Title Company may reasonably request not later than three (3)
business days prior to the Closing Date to evidence Seller’s

Buyer;
(14) the following materials, to the extent they are
in Seller’s possession and have not been previously delivered

(b) At the Closing, the Deposit (subject to, if
applicable, interim adjustments thereto as contemplated by the
terms of this Agreement and as may result from the termination of
this Agreement as to any one or more Individual Properties) shall
be credited and paid to Seller, and Buyer shall also deliver to

duly executed by Buyer (or an affiliate thereof who is the assignee
of Buyer’s rights and obligations under this Agreement) as
the landlord thereunder;
(3) an original subordination, non-disturbance and
attornment agreement in the form required under the Closing Lease
for such Individual Property duly executed by Buyer (or an

16.
Default and Remedies
.
(1) In the event that the terms and conditions of
this Agreement have been fully satisfied by Buyer, and Seller
defaults or fails to perform any of the conditions or obligations
of Seller under this Agreement as to all of the Property or the
entire Transaction or in the event any of the representations or
warranties of Seller contained in this Agreement or in any document
required by this Agreement are not true and correct as of the
Effective Date and the Closing Date in all material respects, Buyer
either may waive such default and proceed to the
Closing in
accordance with the terms and provisions hereof or may, in its sole
discretion, elect to terminate this Agreement by giving written
notice to Seller and receive an immediate refund of the Deposit and
reimbursement to Buyer for all of Buyer’s Out of Pocket
Expenses that relate solely to this Agreement, which return of the
Deposit and reimbursement for Buyer’s Out of Pocket Expenses
shall operate to terminate this Agreement and to release Seller and
Buyer from any and all liability hereunder, except those which are
specifically stated herein to survive any termination hereof. As
used herein, “ Buyer’s Out of Pocket Expenses
” shall mean the aggregate of any and all costs and expenses
incurred by Buyer in connection with the Transaction and the
transactions evidenced by the Other Agreements, including, without
limitation, all costs and fees in connection with Buyer’s
obtaining for each Individual Property (and each "Individual
Property" as such term is defined in the Other Agreements, to the
extent such Other Agreements are also terminated) a Phase I
environmental report and an appraisal, all costs and fees in
connection with Buyer’s obtaining a confirmation of the
zoning classification for each Individual Property (and each
"Individual Property" as such term is defined in the Other
Agreements, to the extent such Other Agreements are also
terminated), including, without limitation, the fees and costs of
engaging a zoning consultant to prepare a zoning report for each
Individual Property (and each "Individual Property" as such term is
defined in the Other Agreements, to the extent such Other
Agreements are also terminated), all costs and fees in connection
with Buyer’s obtaining flood hazard certificates and flood
elevation certificates, the reasonable fees and costs of Wolf
Block, as counsel to Buyer and the Other Buyers, costs and fees in
connection with obtaining an updated ALTA survey of each Individual
Property (and each "Individual Property" as such term is defined in
the Other Agreements, to the extent such Other Agreements are also
terminated), and costs and fees in connection with Buyer’s
obtaining title insurance commitments for Individual Properties
(and "Individual Properties" as such term is defined in the Other
Agreements, to the extent such Other Agreements are also
terminated), provided, however, that in no event may the total of
Buyer’s Out of Pocket Expenses (inclusive of all third-party
due diligence assessments undertaken or commissioned by Buyer,
legal fees and costs payable to Wolf Block and whether incurred
under this Agreement or any one or more of the Other Agreements)
exceed the amount of $1,750,000.00. Seller shall remain separately
responsible for the legal fees and costs of its counsel any local
counsel retained by Seller within the jurisdictions where the
Individual Properties are located who may provide assistance to
Seller in conjunction with the Transaction as contemplated
hereby.
(2) In the event Seller defaults or fails to satisfy
any of the conditions or obligations precedent to Buyer’s
obligations under this Agreement or fails to perform any of
Seller’s obligations under this Agreement with respect to
less than all of the Property, Buyer shall have the right to
exercise its remedies under this Section 16(a) separately as
to each Individual Property (with any return of the Deposit and
payment of Buyer’s Out of Pocket Expenses related only to
this Agreement being on a pro rata basis), and either (i) Buyer
shall have the right to terminate this Agreement with respect to
the remaining Individual Properties and upon such termination the
Deposit and Buyer’s Out of Pocket Expenses related only to
this Agreement shall be paid to Buyer pursuant to and in accordance
with the terms of Section 16(a)(1) hereof, or (ii) if Buyer
does not exercise such termination right, Buyer shall be obligated
to proceed to the Closing of the remaining Individual Properties in
accordance with the terms and provisions of this
Agreement.
(b) In the event that the terms and conditions of
this Agreement have been fully satisfied by Seller, and Buyer
refuses or is unable to close under this Agreement within the time
limits set forth with respect to an Individual Property, Seller, as
Seller’s sole and exclusive remedy, shall be entitled to
declare this Agreement terminated with respect to such Individual
Property and the Deposit allocable to such Individual Property
shall be forfeited to Seller, and the parties shall have no further
rights or obligations with respect to each other as to such
Individual Property, except for those provisions which expressly
survive the Closing or a prior termination of this Agreement. In
such event, Buyer and Seller shall proceed to the Closing of the
remaining Individual Properties in accordance with the terms and
provisions of this Agreement; provided, however, that Seller shall
nonetheless also retain its right and privilege to terminate this
Agreement as contemplated by Section 6 hereof.
(c) The amounts identified in Sections 16(a) and
16(b) hereof have been agreed upon by Seller and Buyer after
due deliberation and discussion, and constitute good faith
estimates of the damages that the applicable party would be
entitled to receive in such events, the respective parties’
actual damages being difficult, if not impossible, to ascertain.
Payments made pursuant to this Section 16 shall be
constitute full liquidated damages for any uncured default or
breach under this Agreement and Buyer’s and Seller’s
sole remedy and right of recourse against the other party, or its
successors or assigns, in the event of any uncured default or
breach by the other under this Agreement.
(d) In the event suit is brought to enforce or
interpret all or any portion of this Agreement or if suit is
brought for liquidated damages or for any other relief permitted
under this Agreement, the party, if any, awarded costs in such suit
shall be entitled to recover, as an element of such costs, and not
as damages, its reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred in
connection with such suit. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, attorneys’ fees shall be determined at the normal
hourly rate charged by the person doing the work, regardless of
whether said fees bear a reasonable relationship to the relief
obtained. A party which is not entitled to recover costs in any
such suit as determined by the presiding court shall not be
entitled to recover its attorneys’ fees. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Section 16(d) , in no event
shall any enforcement proceeding instituted under this Agreement be
construed to permit Buyer or Seller to institute an action
requesting specific performance.

Representations and Warranties of
Seller .As of the
Effective Date, Seller represents and warrants to Buyer
that:
(a) Seller is duly organized, validly existing and
in good standing under the laws of the State of Tennessee, and has
full right, power and authority to execute and deliver this
Agreement and at the Closing will have the full right, power and
authority to consummate the Transaction without obtaining any
further consents or approvals from, or the taking of any other
actions with respect to, any third parties;
(b) this Agreement constitutes a valid and legally
binding agreement and obligation of Seller, enforceable in
accordance with its terms, except to the extent that enforcement
may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium and other laws relating to or affecting
the rights of creditors generally, and except as enforcement is
subject to equitable remedies;
(c) there are no taxes, charges or assessments of
any nature or description arising out of the conduct of
Seller’s business or the operation of the Property that are
due and owing and would constitute a lien against the Property
which will be unpaid at the Closing Date or not paid from the
Purchase Price;
(d) to Seller’s Knowledge and except as set
forth in Schedule 19(d) attached hereto and incorporated
herein by reference, (i) the obligations of Seller with regard to
all applicable covenants, easements and restrictions against the
Property have been and are being performed in all material
respects, (ii) Seller is not currently in default in any
material respect under any agreement, order, judgment or decree
relating to the Property, and (iii) no conditions or circumstances
exist which, with the giving of notice or passage of time, or both,
would constitute a material default or breach with respect to any
of the foregoing in items (i) or (ii) above;
(e) except for Seller, there are no persons in
possession or occupancy of the Land or the Improvements, or any
portion thereof, nor are there any persons who have possessory
rights with respect to the Land or the Improvements, or any portion
thereof;
(f) except for the Leases, Warranties, Property
Permits, Closing Leases, Permitted Exceptions and any other matters
of record, Seller shall not, without the prior consent of Buyer,
enter into any contracts, agreements, guarantees, warranties or
indemnities, affecting the ownership, operation, management and
maintenance of the Land, Improvements or Leases (as opposed to the
day-to-day business operations within the Improvements comprising
each Individual Property), or any part thereof, that would be
binding upon Buyer or would not be terminable upon thirty (30) days
notice following Closing;
(g) Seller holds all licenses with respect to the
Property that are required for Seller to conduct its day-to-day
operations of the Land and the Improvements (as opposed to the
day-to-day business operations within the Improvements), except
those licenses, if any, for which the failure to obtain would not
have a material adverse effect upon the Land or Improvements (the
“ Licenses ”). Each of the Licenses is in full
force and effect and in good standing, and Seller has not received
notice of any intention on the part of the issuing authority to

20.
Representations and Warranties of
Buyer . Buyer hereby
represents and warrants to Seller, that:
(a) Buyer is a corporation validly existing and in
good standing under the laws of the State of North Carolina. Buyer
has the full legal right, power and authority to enter into this
Agreement and to consummate the Transaction. This Agreement is a
valid and legally binding obligation of Buyer, enforceable in
accordance with its terms, except to the extent that enforcement
may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium and other laws relating to or affecting
the rights of creditors generally, and except as enforcement is
subject to equitable remedies. The execution by Buyer of this
Agreement and consummation of the Transaction do not, and, as of
the Closing, will not, result in the breach of any of the terms and
provisions of, or constitute a default under any document to which
Buyer is a party;
(b) there are no pending or, to Buyer’s
knowledge, threatened or contemplated actions, suits, proceedings,
arbitrations, claims or governmental investigations which affect,
or may affect, the ability of Buyer to consummate the
Transaction;
(c) the execution, delivery and performance by Buyer
of this Agreement and the consummation of the Transaction do not
and will not require any consent, approval, authorization or other
action by, or declaration, filing or registration with, or
notification to, any governmental agencies or bodies;
(d) neither Buyer, nor any of its affiliates, is in
violation of any Anti-Terrorism Law or engages in or conspires to
engage in any transaction that evades or avoids, or has the purpose
of evading or avoiding, or attempts to violate, any of the
prohibitions set forth in any Anti-Terrorism Law; and
(e) all documents required or necessary to be
executed by Buyer pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement
shall, except to the extent that enforcement may be limited by
applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and
other laws relating to or affecting the rights of creditors
generally and except as enforcement is subject to equitable
remedies, be valid, binding obligations of Buyer, enforceable in
accordance with their terms.
(a) This Agreement shall be governed by and
construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New
York.
(b) This Agreement and the attached Exhibits and
Schedules contain the entire understanding and agreement by and
between the parties with respect to the subject matter of this
Agreement and all prior or contemporaneous oral or written
agreements or instruments with respect to the subject matter hereof
are merged in this Agreement and no amendment to this Agreement
shall be effective unless the same is in writing and signed by the
parties hereto.
(c) This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall
inure to the benefit of the parties and their permitted successors
and assigns.
(d) The captions and headings throughout this
Agreement are for convenience and reference only and the words
contained therein shall in no way be held to define or add to the
interpretation, construction or meaning of any provision of this
Agreement.
(e) This Agreement may not be changed orally, but
only by an agreement in writing signed by both Buyer and Seller. No
waiver of any of the provisions to this Agreement shall be valid
unless in writing and signed by the party against whom such waiver
is sought to be enforced.
(f) The parties agree that this Agreement shall not
be recorded.
(g) The Title Company shall serve as the “real
estate reporting person” as that term is defined in
Section 6045(e) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended. This Agreement shall constitute a designation agreement,
the name and address of the transferor and transferee of the
Transaction appear in Section 18 hereof, and Seller and
Buyer each agree to retain a copy of this Agreement for a period of
four (4) years following the end of the calendar year in which
Closing occurs. The provisions of this Section 21(g) shall
survive Closing.
(h) Both Seller and Buyer agree that they will
cooperate, without further consideration, in taking such action,
whether prior or subsequent to the Closing, as may be reasonably
requested by the other party to consummate the Transaction. The
provisions of this Section 20(h) shall survive
Closing.
(i) Seller agrees that, so long as this Agreement is
in effect, in the event Seller accepts any offer to purchase the
Property from any prospective purchaser (other than (x) Buyer or
its successors or assigns, (y) pursuant to joint written
instructions from Buyer and the Other Buyers, or their respective
successors or assigns, in accordance with Sections 6 and
14(b) , or (z) any other party with a right of first refusal or
right to purchase an Individual Property as contemplated by the
last paragraph of Section 1 hereof), Seller shall be deemed
to have elected to terminate this Agreement as to the Property as
provided in Section 6 hereof. Seller’s acceptance of
any such offer to purchase the Property, or any portion thereof,
shall not be deemed either a breach or a default by Seller of this
Agreement.
(j) The provisions of this Agreement and the
documents to be executed and delivered at the Closing are and will
be for the benefit of Seller, Buyer and their permitted successors
and assigns only and are not for the benefit of any third party,
and accordingly, no
third party
shall have the right to enforce the provisions of this Agreement or
of the documents to be executed and delivered at the
Closing.
(k) All references to “business days”
contained herein are references to normal working business days,
i.e., Monday through Friday of each calendar week, exclusive of
federal and national bank holidays. In the event that any event
under this Agreement is to occur, or a time period is to expire, on
a date which is not a business day, such event shall occur or time
period shall expire on the next succeeding business day.
(l) Buyer may assign or transfer its rights and
obligations under this Agreement, in part or in whole, to any
affiliate of Buyer or to an Other Buyer without the consent of
Seller. Buyer shall notify Seller prior to any such transfer. Upon
such transfer, the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall
inure to the benefit of and be binding upon such affiliate of Buyer
or, as applicable, such Other Buyer (as Buyer’s assignee) and
Buyer shall be released of all further obligations and liability
hereunder thereafter first accruing.
(m) Seller acknowledges and agrees that
Buyer’s acquisition of the Property may be the acquisition of
replacement property in a qualifying exchange of like-kind property
under Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended. Seller agrees to cooperate with Buyer in the completion of
such an exchange, including a reverse exchange and the conveyance
and/or assignment of this Agreement to an exchange accommodation
titleholder or an entity controlled by an exchange accommodation
titleholder in accordance with the procedures outlined in Revenue
Procedure 2000-37 (collectively the “ Exchange
”), pursuant to Buyer’s separate exchange agreement
with a qualified intermediary (the “ Intermediary
”). Such cooperation may include, without limitation, (i) the
assignment of this Agreement by Buyer to the Intermediary, and the
acknowledgment of such assignment by Seller, (ii) the acceptance of
the Purchase Price from the Intermediary, (iii) the conveyance of
the Property to Buyer pursuant to a written direction of the
Intermediary, and (iv) the reassignment of this Agreement to Buyer
from the Intermediary immediately following the completion of the
Exchange, and the acknowledgment by Seller of such reassignment. In
consideration for the cooperation of Seller in the Exchange, Buyer
hereby agrees to indemnify and hold Seller and each of its
officers, directors, partners, employees, and agents thereof
harmless from and against any and all claims, liabilities, expenses
or judgments arising out of, based upon, attributable to or
resulting from any act or failure to act of Seller if such act or
failure to act arose out of Seller’s obligation to cooperate
with Buyer pursuant to the terms of this Section 21(m)
.
(n) This Agreement may be executed in counterparts,
each of which shall be a fully executed original and all of which
together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
(o) As used herein, the singular number shall
include the plural, the plural the singular, and the use of any
gender shall be applicable to all genders.
(p) The provisions of this Agreement are independent
and separable from each other, and no provision shall be affected
or rendered invalid or unenforceable by virtue of the fact that for
any reason any other or others of them may be invalid or
unenforceable in whole or in part.

NOW,
THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the premises hereof, the

obligations undertaken herein, the parties hereto do hereby
covenant, stipulate and agree as follows:
ARTICLE I
AGREEMENT TO LEASE
1.1
Demise .
Landlord does hereby demise, let and lease unto Tenant, and
Tenant does hereby hire, lease and take as Tenant from Landlord,
the entire Premises upon those terms and conditions hereinafter set
forth.
1.2
Condition .
Tenant acknowledges and agrees that the Premises are and
shall be leased by Landlord to Tenant in their present “as
is” condition, and that Landlord makes absolutely no
representations or warranties whatsoever with respect to the
Premises or the condition thereof. Tenant acknowledges that
Landlord does not warrant or represent to Tenant that the Premises
are fit for the purposes intended by Tenant or for any other
purpose or purposes whatsoever, and Tenant acknowledges that the
Premises are to be leased to Tenant in their existing condition,

(including the termination options set forth in Sections 10.5 and
11.2), be solely responsible for any and all actions, repairs,
permits, approvals and costs required for the rehabilitation,
renovation, use, occupancy and operation of the Premises in

the Premises free of any interference from Landlord and any Person
(as hereinafter defined) claiming by or through Landlord; subject,
however, to the terms, provisions and conditions of this
Lease.
ARTICLE II
TERM
2.1
Term .
The initial term of this Lease (the “ Initial
Term ”) shall, unless sooner terminated as elsewhere
provided in this Lease, commence on the Effective Date and shall
terminate and expire at 11:59 p.m. on the date immediately
preceding the twentieth (20th) anniversary of the Effective Date.
The Initial Term, together with any properly exercised Option
Period (as hereinafter defined), shall be collectively referred to
herein as the “ Term ”.
2.2
Option to Renew .
Tenant shall have and is hereby granted five (5) options
(individually an “ Option ”) to extend this
Lease beyond the Initial Term for an additional period of five (5)
years each (individually an “ Option Period ”).
Tenant may exercise each such Option successively by giving written
notice to Landlord not less than nine (9) months prior to the
expiration of the Initial Term or expiration of the then current
Option Period, as applicable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant
shall not be entitled to extend the Term if, at the time of
exercise of an Option or at the time of commencement of an Option
Period, an Event of Default shall then exist. If Tenant shall fail,
or shall not be entitled pursuant to the preceding sentence, to
extend the Term for an additional Option Period, all remaining
rights of renewal shall automatically expire. Any Option Period
shall be subject to all of the provisions of this Lease, and all
such provisions shall continue in full force and effect, except
that the Base Rent (as hereinafter defined) for each Option Period
shall be determined pursuant to Sections 3.1(c) and (d)
hereof.
2.3
Termination .
Notwithstanding any present or future law to the contrary and
subject to the termination options set forth in Sections 10.5 and
11.2, this Lease shall not be terminated by Tenant for any failure
of Landlord to perform pursuant to the terms and conditions of this
Lease or otherwise for any reason; provided, however, that Tenant
is not required by this Section 2.3 to violate any future law or
other legal requirement.
ARTICLE III
RENT
(a)
Beginning on the Effective Date and continuing
through the Initial Term and the first two (2) Option Periods (if
applicable), and subject to both proration and increase, each as
set forth below, Tenant shall pay annual base rent for the
Premises, together with all applicable sales and use taxes thereon,
in the annual amount of [TO BE 7.80% OF THE ALLOCATED PURCHASE
PRICE] $_______, payable in equal monthly installments of
$_________ each (collectively, the “ Base Rent
”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, commencing with the first
calendar month in the second (2nd) Lease Year (as hereinafter
defined), and continuing in the first calendar month of each Lease
Year thereafter, the amount of Base Rent payable by Tenant
hereunder shall increase by two times the percentage change in the
Consumer Price Index (United States City Average for All Urban
Consumers, All Items, Not Seasonally Adjusted, as published by the
United States Department of Labor’s Bureau of Statistics)
during the twelve (12) month period that ends on the last day of
the ninth month of the immediately preceding Lease Year, subject,
however, to a maximum increase of 1.75% and a minimum increase of
0.35% (such percentage change, the " CPI Percentage Change
").
(b)
Base Rent for each Lease Year during the Term
shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord in equal monthly installments,
in advance, by wire transfer in immediately available federal funds
to such account in such bank as Landlord (or Lender on behalf of
Landlord) shall designate, from time to time (the “ Rent
Account ”), on the first (1st) day of each calendar month
commencing on the first (1st) day of the calendar month immediately
following the Effective Date; provided, however, that Landlord and
Tenant agree that the prorated Base Rent payable for the period
from the Effective Date to the first day of the first full calendar
month following the Effective Date, if any, shall be due on the
Effective Date. For the purposes of this Lease, the term “
Lease Year ” shall mean and be defined as each twelve
(12) month period commencing on the first day of the first (1st)
full calendar month immediately following the Effective Date;
provided, however, that the first (1st) Lease Year shall include
the period from the Effective Date to the first (1st) day of the
next following calendar month after the Effective Date. Base Rent
shall be proportionately prorated for any extended or partial month
during the Term (i.e. the first (1st) Lease Year and/or the final
Lease Year).
(c)
Base Rent for the third, fourth and fifth Option
Periods shall be determined prior to the initiation of each such
applicable Option Period as the greater of (i) the amount of Base
Rent payable for the immediately preceding Lease Year, or (ii) the
fair market rental value at time of the initiation of such Option
Period, determined pursuant to Section 3.1(d) hereof. In addition,
commencing with the first (1st) calendar month in the second (2nd)
Lease Year of each of the third, fourth and fifth Option Periods,
and continuing in the first calendar month of each Lease Year
thereafter in such applicable Option Period, the amount of Base
Rent payable by Tenant during such Option Period shall increase by
two times the CPI Percentage Change. After Tenant’s exercise
of the third, fourth or fifth Option, as applicable, Tenant shall,
within ten (10) days after Landlord’s written request
therefor, execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord an
instrument confirming that such Option has been effectively
exercised,
confirming
the extended expiration date of this Lease and confirming the Base
Rent for the applicable Option Period.
(d)
Landlord and Tenant shall endeavor in good faith
to agree upon a commercially reasonable fair market rent within
thirty (30) business days after Tenant’s notice of an
exercise of the third, fourth or fifth Option, as applicable.
Failing such efforts, Landlord shall designate an independent MAI
appraiser to determine the annual fair market rental value within
forty (40) days after Tenant’s notice of the exercise of such
Option. Within ten (10) days after selection of Landlord’s
appraiser, Landlord shall notify Tenant of the determination made
by Landlord’s appraiser with respect to the annual fair
market rental value. Tenant shall then have twenty (20) days to
dispute such determination and to select its own independent MAI
appraiser. In the event that Tenant fails to select its appraiser
within such twenty (20) day period, the determination of
Landlord’s appraiser shall constitute such annual fair market
rental value. Within ten (10) days after selection of
Tenant’s appraiser, the two appraisers shall meet and attempt
to agree as to the annual fair market rental value for the Premises
for the Option Period in question. In the event that such
appraisers are unable to agree as to such annual fair market rental
value then: (i) if the difference between the two determinations is
less than five percent (5%) of the lower determination, then the
average of the two determinations shall be deemed to constitute
such annual fair market rental value; or (ii) if the difference
between the two determinations is equal to or greater than five
percent (5%) of the lower determination, then the two appraisers
shall jointly select a third independent MAI appraiser, which
appraiser shall select which of the determinations of the first two
appraisers shall constitute such annual fair market rental value.
Such third appraiser shall not have the right to vary or modify the
determinations of the appraisers selected by Landlord and Tenant.
Any appraiser selected pursuant to this Section 3.1(c) must have at
least ten (10) years experience in appraising commercial real
estate in the area in which the Premises are located. The
appraisers shall not have the right to amend, modify or vary any of
the terms of this Lease and the determination of the appraisers in
accordance with this Section 3.1(c) shall be final, binding and
conclusive upon Landlord and Tenant.
3.2
Additional
Rent; Rent Defined .
If Landlord shall make any expenditure for which Tenant is
responsible or liable under this Lease, or if Tenant shall become
obligated to Landlord under this Lease for any sum other than Base
Rent (including, without limitation (i) any out-of-pocket costs,
charges or penalties (including prepayment or defeasance costs and
penalties), if any, incurred by Landlord or Lender (as hereinafter
defined) as a result of any prepayment or defeasance, and (ii) any
amounts that are due and owing to Lender or Landlord by reason of
any default by Tenant in complying with its obligations under this
Lease), the amount thereof shall be deemed to constitute additional
rent (the “ Additional Rent ”) and shall be due
and payable by Tenant to Landlord, together with all applicable
sales taxes thereon, if any, simultaneously with the next
succeeding monthly installment of Base Rent or at such other time
as may be expressly provided in this Lease for the payment of the
same. For the purposes of this Lease, the term “ Rent
” shall mean and be defined as all Base Rent and Additional
Rent due from Tenant to Landlord hereunder.
3.3
Payment of Rent .
Each of the foregoing amounts of Rent and other sums shall be
paid to Landlord without demand and without deduction (except as
expressly set forth in Section 11.1 hereof), diminution, abatement,
set-off, claim or counterclaim of any nature whatsoever which
Tenant may have or allege to have against Landlord, and all such
payments
shall, upon
receipt by Landlord, be and remain the sole and absolute property
of Landlord. All such Rent and other sums shall be paid to Landlord
by legal tender of the United States at the address to which
notices to Landlord are to be given or to such other party or to
such other address as Landlord may designate from time to time by
written notice to Tenant or at Landlord’s option at any time
during the Term, by electronic funds transfer to such account
directed by Landlord in writing to Tenant or by check subject to
collection paid to the order of Landlord or such party as Landlord
designates. In the event that Landlord elects to have Rent paid by
electronic funds transfer, any Rent that shall become due on a
Saturday, Sunday or banking holiday shall be due on the next bank
day and shall not be deemed to be late. If Landlord shall at any
time accept any such Rent or other sums after the same shall become
due and payable, such acceptance shall not excuse a delay upon
subsequent occasions, or constitute or be construed as a waiver of
any of Landlord’s rights hereunder.
3.4
Past Due Rent .
If Tenant fails to make any payment of Rent or any other sums
or amounts to be paid by Tenant hereunder on or before the date
such payment is due and payable, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the
amount of any late fee charged by any applicable mortgagee of the
Premises; provided, however, that such late fee shall not exceed
five percent (5%) of the amount of such applicable payment of Rent.
In addition, such past due payment shall bear interest from the
date such payment became due to the date of payment thereof by
Tenant at a rate which is equal to the lesser of (i) twelve percent
(12%) per annum, or (ii) the maximum interest rate then allowable
under the laws of the State in which the Premises are located. Such
late charge and interest shall constitute Additional Rent and shall
be due and payable with the next installment of Rent due
hereunder.
