PURCHASER SHALL FORFEIT THE EARNEST MONEY TO SELLER IF PURCHASER FAILS OR REFUSES TO PERFORM ITS OBLIGATIONS HEREIN SPECIFIED AND ALL CONDITIONS AND REQUIREMENTS OF THIS CONTRACT HAVE BEEN SATISFIED. Such forfeiture of Earnest Money shall constitute liquidated damages and shall be Seller’s sole remedy at law or in equity. The Earnest Money otherwise shall be refunded or forfeited in accordance with the terms contained in this Contract, and, if all of the terms and conditions of this Contract are satisfied or waived and the transaction is closed, then the Earnest Money shall be applied to the Purchase Price.

2. Purchase Price. At the Closing (as defined below), Purchaser shall pay to Seller the Purchase Price, less the Earnest Money and further adjusted for any other credits, reductions and prorations for which this Contract provides.

3. Closing.

The Closing will take place at the office of the Title Insurer or such other place as the parties may mutually agree upon in writing. Any closing fee charged by the Title Insurer shall be split evenly between Purchaser and Seller. Purchaser shall pay the cost of recording the Special Warranty Deed and Seller shall pay the cost of filing the Indiana Sales Disclosure form. Each party hereto shall pay the fees of any attorneys or other consultants hired by such party in connection with the purchase of the Property. If the Closing does not occur on or before the Termination Date, this Contract shall automatically terminate.

4. Closing Documents. At Closing, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser or its assignee or designee: (a) a duly executed Special Warranty Deed conveying fee simple title to the real property components of the Property free of any and all liens, encumbrances, easements, restrictions, covenants or other title defects, except the Permitted Exceptions (as hereinafter defined); (b) a duly executed vendor’s affidavit substantially similar in form and substance to the Indianapolis Bar Association’s form of vendor’s affidavit; (c) a duly executed non-foreign affidavit in form and substance satisfactory to Purchaser and the Title Insurer; (d) a duly executed Indiana Sales Disclosure Form in the form required by Indiana law; (e) a duly executed assignment by Seller of the Leases, Contracts and Plans (as each is defined below) approved by Purchaser, if any, pursuant to Section 7.5 below and any warranties and guaranties, each to the extent assignable, in form and substance satisfactory to Purchaser (the “Assignment”); and (f) any and all other documents contemplated by this Contract or necessary to consummate the sale of the Property.

Seller agrees that they shall either (i) comply with the provisions of the Indiana Responsible Property Transfer Law and provide the Purchaser with a “disclosure document” as and when required by the Indiana Responsible Property Transfer Law, or (ii) provide the Purchaser with a certification on or before the Closing Date that the transactions contemplated by this Contract are not subject to the provisions of the Indiana Responsible Property Transfer Law in a form and content acceptable to Purchaser. In the event Seller provides Purchaser with a “disclosure document” and Purchaser thereafter declines to accept the transfer of the Property (as permitted by the Indiana Responsible Property Transfer Law), Purchaser may cancel this Contract by written notice to Seller, in which event the Earnest Money shall be immediately refunded to Purchaser by the Title Insurer.

5. Possession. Possession of the Property shall be delivered on the Closing Date, free and clear of all rights and claims of any other party to the possession, use or control of the Property, except the rights of tenants pursuant to Leases approved by Purchaser pursuant to Section 7.5 below, and for the Permitted Exceptions. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that upon closing, subject to any representations in this Contract or the Deed, Seller shall sell and convey to Buyer, and Buyer shall accept the Property, “AS IS, WHERE IS, WITH ALL FAULTS”. Buyer hereby unconditionally waives any implied warranty of suitability, merchantability or fitness for particular purpose.

6. Taxes and Assessment. Purchaser assumes and shall pay (a) all assessments for improvements becoming a lien on or after the Closing Date; and (b) its pro rata portion of the real estate taxes assessed for and becoming a lien during the calendar year in which closing occurs (based upon the number of days remaining in such calendar year on or after the Closing Date). Seller shall pay (a) all assessments for improvements not assumed by Purchaser; (b) both installments of real estate taxes payable during the calendar year in which closing occurs; (c) its pro rata portion of the real estate taxes assessed for and becoming a lien during the calendar year in which closing occurs (based upon the number of days in such calendar year prior to the Closing Date); and (d) all delinquent real estate taxes and assessments (and penalties and interest thereon, if any). The present tax rate and assessed values shall be used for the purposes of the prorations under this Section if the applicable tax rate and assessed values have not been set. Any taxes or assessments (and penalties and interest thereon, if any) which are either (a) not assumed by Purchaser and which are not due and payable at the time of closing; or (b) delinquent at time of Closing, shall be allowed to Purchaser as a credit against the Purchase Price at Closing. Any and all rental income from the Property shall be pro-rated as of the Closing Date (with rents and rental payments for the day of closing allocated to Purchaser). If Seller and Purchaser fail to cause any utility services rendered to the Property to be placed in the name of Purchaser as of 11:59 p.m. on the day before the Closing Date, the charges for any such utility services shall be prorated as of the Closing Date, based upon the most recent bills available and readjusted on the basis of the actual bills rendered for the period during which the closing occurs, as and when such bills are received.

7. Conditions of Performance. For purposes of this Contract, the term “Due Diligence Period” shall mean the date which is 30 days after the ROFR Expiration Date (as defined below).

Purchaser’s obligations under this Contract are subject to the timely and complete satisfaction of each of the following conditions, unless waived in writing by Purchaser.

7.1 Survey. If Purchaser obtains on or before the expiration of the Due Diligence Period a survey of the Property conforming to the Minimum Standard Detail Requirements for an ALTA/ACSM Land Title Survey (the “Survey”), the Survey shall be satisfactory to Purchaser in all respects.

7.2 Title Insurance. On or before the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, Purchaser shall have obtained a current title insurance commitment for the Property issued by the Title Insurer, in which commitment the Title Insurer shall agree to (a) insure for the full amount of the Purchase Price merchantable and marketable fee simple title to the Property, free of all exceptions (including, without limitation, the standard exceptions), except only the Permitted Exceptions (as defined below); and (b) issue such endorsements as Purchaser may reasonably request (the “Title Commitment”). Purchaser shall provide any objections (collectively, the “Title Objection”) to matters disclosed in the Survey, Title Commitment and/or exception documents on or before five days prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period.

Any exceptions to title reflected on the Title Commitment to which Purchaser fails to timely object (except: (a) the lien of any mortgage, other security instrument, UCC financing statement or tax or monetary lien, which in all cases shall be released at or before the Closing, or, if not released, then Purchaser shall have the right to pay such monetary amounts and offset such payments against the Purchase Price; and (b) the standard, pre-printed exceptions, which in all cases shall be deleted from the final owner’s title policy) shall be deemed “Permitted Exceptions”. At Closing, Purchaser shall receive a credit against the Purchase Price for the amount of the premium for the policy to be issued pursuant to the Title Commitment, excluding any endorsements thereto. Except as provided in clause (a) above regarding any monetary lien, nothing in this Contract shall be deemed to require Seller to take any steps to remove any defect in or objection to title or to expend any moneys therefor, nor shall Buyer have any right of action against Seller, at law or in equity, therefor. The Title Commitment and the final title policy shall have an insured amount not to exceed the Purchase Price.

11. Inspection. Purchaser, its employees, agents and independent contractors shall have the right to enter upon the Property to perform the Survey and conduct all tests, inspections and examinations which Purchaser deems necessary or desirable including, without limitation, tests, inspections and examinations related to access to utilities, environmental condition, soil and geotechnical condition, the physical condition of the Property (including the HVAC, plumbing, electrical, structural elements, glass, windows, and roof), subsurface conditions, drainage, parking, easements and cross-easements and architectural feasibility. Seller agrees to cooperate with Purchaser and to provide Purchaser with copies of all documents relating to the Property as and when required by this Contract and to furnish such other information regarding the Property as Purchaser may, from time to time, reasonably request. Purchaser shall not permit any mechanic’s liens to be placed on or against the Property or any portion thereof in connection with any activities of Purchaser with respect to the Property.

13. Default. Seller agrees that money damages are not an adequate remedy for breach of this Contract by Seller, and, therefore, Purchaser shall be entitled to either (i) the remedy of specific performance to enforce the terms hereof, or (ii) terminate this Contract in accordance with this Section 13 in which event the Earnest Money shall be immediately refunded to Purchaser. If Purchaser defaults in its obligations under this Contract and fails to cure such default within fifteen (15) days after written notice of such default, this Contract may be terminated by Seller and the Earnest Money shall be paid to Seller as liquidated damages and as its sole and exclusive remedy. Purchaser and Seller agree that the amount of the actual damages which Seller would suffer as a result of Purchaser’s default would be extremely difficult to ascertain and have agreed, after specific negotiations relating thereto, that the Earnest Money is a reasonable estimate of Seller’s damages and is not intended to constitute a penalty. If this Contract is terminated pursuant to Section 8 or automatically terminates pursuant to Section 3, all further obligations of the parties under this Contract will terminate and be of no further force or effect, except for the provisions that expressly survive such termination, and no party shall have any additional liability to the other as a result of the termination of this Contract. The provisions of this Section 13 shall be the sole and exclusive remedy resulting from a breach of any representations, warranty, covenant or agreement prior to the Closing that is available under contract, tort or any other legal theory to the parties to this Contract. All of the provisions of this Section 13 shall survive the termination of this Contract.

14. Survival. No representations or warranties contained in this Contract shall survive the Closing, and neither Purchaser nor Seller shall have any right after Closing to recover from the other damages related to any breach of any representation or warranty.
