Deposit . Within three (3) business days after the
Execution Date, and as a condition precedent to the effectiveness
of this Agreement, Buyer shall deposit in escrow with the Title
Company by wire transfer or other immediately available funds the
sum of Three Hundred Thousand Dollars ($300,000) (the “

herein, shall be referred to collectively as the “
Deposit .” The Deposit shall be applied against the
Purchase Price on the Closing of this Transaction and shall
otherwise be held and delivered by the Title Company in accordance
with the provisions of Article 13 . If Buyer fails timely to

to have elected to terminate this Agreement, and Seller and Buyer
shall have no further liability hereunder except for obligations
which by the express terms of this Agreement survive the
termination of this Agreement. If Buyer fails to make the
Additional Deposit as and when required herein, Seller may enforce

collect the same from Buyer, notwithstanding Seller’s
termination of this Agreement and receipt of the Initial Deposit
pursuant to the following Section 11.1 . Buyer acknowledges
and agrees that if it has not terminated this Agreement as of the
expiration of the Due Diligence Period, Buyer’s obligation
to
make the Additional Deposit shall

Seller by wire transfer or other immediately available funds an
amount equal to the balance of the Purchase Price plus and/or minus

Objections. Seller shall notify Buyer in writing within five (5)
business days after receipt of Buyer’s notice of Title
Objections (but, in any event, prior to the Closing Date) whether
Seller elects to Remove the same. Failure of Seller to notify Buyer
in writing within such five (5) business day period shall be deemed
an election by Seller on the last day of such period not to Remove
such Title Objections. If Seller elects not to Remove one or more
Title Objections, then Buyer may either (a) terminate this
Agreement by written notice to Seller given within five (5)
business days after Seller’s election (but in any event prior
to the Closing Date), in which event the Title Company shall
(i) pay Twenty-five Thousand Dollars ($25,000.00) of the
Deposit to Seller and (ii) refund the balance of the Deposit
to Buyer, and thereafter Seller and Buyer shall not have any
further liability hereunder except for obligations which by the
express terms of this Agreement survive the termination of this
Agreement, or (b) waive such Title Objections and proceed to
Closing. Failure of Buyer to terminate this Agreement within such
five (5) business day period shall be deemed an election by Buyer
to waive such Title Objections and proceed to Closing. Any such
Title Objection so waived (or deemed waived) by Buyer shall be
deemed to constitute a Permitted Exception, and the Closing shall
occur as herein provided without any reduction of or credit against
the Purchase Price.
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, Seller shall be obligated to satisfy (or in the case
of mechanics’liens, insure over at Seller’s cost) at
Closing all (a) mortgages and security interests encumbering
the Property, (b) mechanics’ liens or notices thereof
relating to work performed at the request of any Seller Parties,
and (c) liens for delinquent real estate taxes and
assessments, and Buyer shall not be obligated to identify the same

If
this Agreement is not terminated by Buyer in accordance with the
provisions hereof, Seller shall, at Closing, Remove or cause to be
Removed any Title Objections which Seller elected in writing to
Remove as provided above and any other matters which Seller is
obligated to satisfy under this Section 4.2 . Seller
shall be entitled to a reasonable adjournment of the Closing (not
to exceed ninety (90) days) for the purpose of the Removal of any
Title Objections which Seller has elected in writing to Remove or
other matters which Seller is obligated to satisfy under this
Section 4.2 .
From
and after the Letter Date, Seller shall not execute any easement,
restriction, covenant, agreement or other matter affecting title to
the Property other than Leases entered into by Seller in the
ordinary course of business and except for the deeds contemplated
by Section 15.17 , unless Buyer has received a copy
thereof and has approved the same in
writing. If Buyer fails to object
in writing to any such proposed instrument within five (5) business
days after receipt of the aforementioned notice, Buyer shall be
deemed to have approved the proposed instrument. Buyer’s
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed
with respect to any such instrument.

Owner’s Title Policy to Buyer insuring that fee simple title
to the Real Property is vested in Buyer subject only to the
Permitted Exceptions, which Owner’s Title Policy shall

shall be entitled to request that the Title Company provide such
other endorsements to the Owner’s Title Policy as Buyer may
reasonably require, provided that (a) such endorsements shall be at
Buyer’s cost and shall impose no additional liability on
Seller, (b) Buyer’s obligations under this Agreement shall
not be conditioned upon Buyer’s ability to obtain such
endorsements and, if Buyer is unable to obtain such endorsements,
Buyer shall nevertheless be obligated to proceed to close the
Transaction without reduction of or set off against the Purchase
Price, and (c) the Closing shall not be delayed as a result of
Buyer’s request; provided, however, nothing herein shall be
deemed to preclude Buyer from terminating this Agreement on or
before the expiration of the Due Diligence Period in the event the

desired by Buyer.

Buyer and Seller shall be made within thirty (30) days after the
date that actual consumption for such pre-closing period is
determined, which obligation shall survive the Closing. Seller
shall not assign to Buyer any deposits which Seller has with any of
