ARTICLE II

TITLE AND SURVEY

2.1           Title Commitment . Within ten (10) days after the Effective Date of this Agreement, Seller shall cause Title Company to deliver to Purchaser an Owner’s Commitment for issuance of an ALTA Title Insurance Policy committing to removal of the standard pre-printed exceptions (subject to its receipt of a new survey to be obtained by Purchaser as set forth in and subject to Section 2.2 below, if necessary), issued by the Title Company in the amount of the Purchase Price, together with legible copies of all instruments referred to therein (collectively the “ Title Commitment ”), which Title Commitment shall set forth the status of the title of the Property. Seller and Purchaser shall provide the required title company seller and buyer affidavits and other documents in the form(s) reasonably and customarily required by Title Company.

2.2           Survey . Seller shall deliver to Purchaser existing surveys and plats of the Property in Seller’s possession or control as set forth in Section 3.1. ( “Existing Survey” ). Purchaser shall have the right, at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense, to procure and deliver to Title Company a new ALTA survey of the Property or, if acceptable to the Title Company in connection with issuance of an extended coverage Title Policy, an update of the Existing Survey in form and substance sufficient to remove the standard survey exception from the Title Policy, which new survey or update shall be certified to Purchaser, Title Company and any lender reasonably requested by Purchaser. The Existing Survey (as it may be updated) and any new survey obtained pursuant to this Section collectively referred to herein as the “Survey” .

2.3           Title and Survey Review . If Purchaser is not satisfied with the matters disclosed in the Title Commitment or Survey (including all documents underlying the status of title including, without limitation, any exceptions identified in the Title Commitment and the Survey), then Purchaser shall, if it desires, be entitled to give written notice (the “ Defect Notice ”) to Seller on or before the end of the thirtieth (30th) calendar day from the date the Title Company delivered the Title Commitment to Purchaser of any objectionable matters (the “ Objections ”). If Purchaser fails to timely deliver the Defect Notice, all exceptions (other than the standard printed exceptions committed to be deleted) disclosed in the Title Documents shall become “ Permitted Matters .” If Purchaser delivers a Defect Notice within the time period provided, Seller may elect to: (i) cure or, if applicable and reasonably acceptable to Purchaser, cause the Title Company to insure against or endorse over such Objections at any time prior to Closing or (ii) take no action with regard thereto. Seller shall give Purchaser written notice of Seller’s election within five (5) days after Seller’s receipt of a Defect Notice from Purchaser. Seller’s failure to provide such a notice within five (5) days shall be deemed to be Seller’s notice that it will take no action with respect to any matters which are the subject of Purchaser’s Objections. If Purchaser is dissatisfied with Seller's cure or election not to cure, Purchaser may either (i) elect to waive such Objection and proceed to Closing, or (ii) terminate this Agreement by delivering written notice to Seller within five (5) days of receiving notice of Seller’s election (or of the end of Seller’s period in which to so elect if no election is made by Seller) in which event Purchaser shall receive the entirety of the Deposit then held by Title Company, including any interest accrued thereon, and the Agreement shall terminate and the Parties shall be relieved of any further liability or obligation hereunder except to the extent otherwise provided herein to survive termination. Purchaser’s failure to timely elect to waive such Objection(s) in writing shall be deemed Purchaser’s election to terminate. The Property shall be conveyed to Purchaser by Seller subject to the Permitted Matters. If Seller elects to cure any Objection, using commercially reasonable, good faith efforts, and is unable to effect such cure or otherwise fails to do so prior to the Closing Date, such failure shall not be a default under this Agreement, and Purchaser shall have the same remedies that are available for the failure of a condition not within Seller’s control.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or in a response by Seller to any Objections, Seller shall be obligated to remove or insure over or bond over (A) any Voluntary Title Exception (as hereinafter defined), or (B) Monetary Title Exceptions (as hereinafter defined) (other than non-delinquent real property taxes and special assessments for the year of Closing and thereafter) created by, under or through Seller (but excluding liens arising by, through or under T Purchaser). If Seller fails to remove or insure over or bond over any such Voluntary Title Exceptions or Monetary Title Exceptions, Purchaser shall have a right to have the Title Company pay such amounts from amounts due to be paid to Seller at Closing (each, a “ Removal Deduction ”). If Purchaser exercises its right to cause a Removal Deduction, Seller shall not be deemed to have waived any rights it may have against any third party in connection with such Removal Deduction, and Seller hereby expressly reserves any and all such rights. Purchaser acknowledges that Seller may pursue any third party for the payment of any amounts relating to a Removal Deduction, and is permitted to institute litigation in respect thereof without the prior written consent of Purchaser; provided, however, that Seller may not cause the Lease to be terminated due to a Removal Deduction. For purposes of this Agreement, “ Monetary Title Exception ” means title exceptions affecting the Premises which are not Permitted Matters and which can be removed by payment of a liquidated amount, and “ Voluntary Title Exception ” means (A) the lien of any mortgage, deed of trust or similar security instrument encumbering the Property and (B) any title exceptions affecting the Property that are created or permitted by Seller after the Effective Date through the execution by Seller of one or more instruments creating or granting such exceptions or arising from brokers, mechanics’ and materialmen’s liens.

2.4           Conveyance of Title . At Closing, Seller shall convey and transfer to Purchaser such title to the Property as will enable the Title Company to issue to Purchaser a ALTA Owner’s Policy of Title Insurance covering the Property in the full amount of the Purchase Price (along with any endorsements requested in accordance herewith referred to as the “Title Policy” ).

ARTICLE III

PROPERTY INSPECTION

3.1           Delivery of Documents . Seller, to the extent in the possession or control of Seller, shall deliver all material information Seller has regarding the Property as of the Effective Date to Purchaser within five (5) days of the Effective Date, including, but not limited to, the following (collectively, “Seller’s Deliveries” ):

(a) All service contracts applicable to and currently serving the Property, if any;

(b)      Copies of all licenses and permits regarding the Property including, without limitation, certificate(s) of occupancy;

(c)      An itemized list of the Personal Property;

(d)      The Existing Survey;

(e)      Any environmental or property condition assessments, audits, evaluations or reports related to the Property; and

(f)      any documents, records, communications or other information requested by Purchaser that is reasonably necessary in conducting a due diligence review of the physical condition and entitlements of the Property, excluding attorney-client privileged materials and proprietary financial documents or information.

3.2           Right of Inspection . During the period beginning upon the Effective Date and ending at the end of the sixtieth (60th) calendar day from the Effective Date (the “Inspection Period” ), Purchaser shall have the right to inspect and review all aspects of the Property including, without limitation, review of the Title Commitment and the Survey, physical inspection of the Property, including an inspection of the environmental condition thereof, review of existing site plan approvals and entitlements, if any, and to examine all documents and information related to ownership and operation of the Property. Purchaser and Purchaser’s consultants shall throughout the term of this Agreement have the right to conduct on-site inspections of the Property. Such inspection shall not unreasonably interfere with the use of the Property by Seller or the tenants thereof, nor shall Purchaser’s inspection damage the Property in any material respect. Any such inspections shall in any event shall be conducted in accordance with standards customarily employed in the industry and in compliance with all governmental laws, rules and regulations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Purchaser shall not conduct any environmental investigation of the Property other than a Phase I environmental site assessment without obtaining Seller’s prior written consent. Following each entry by Purchaser with respect to inspections and/or tests on the Property, Purchaser shall restore the Property substantially and materially to its original condition as existed prior to any such inspections. Seller shall reasonably cooperate with Purchaser in its due diligence investigation. Purchaser agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Seller harmless from and against any claim for liabilities, costs, expenses, liens, damages, injuries, or death arising out of or resulting from the inspection of the Property by Purchaser or its agents (including, in each case, reasonable attorneys’ fees actually incurred); provided, however, nothing herein shall make Purchaser or any of Purchaser's consultants or agents liable for any violation of law, contamination or other matter discovered as a result of such Inspections or other matters or as a result of any obligation to report any such findings. Prior to entry onto the Property for any physical inspections, Purchaser or its consultants, as the case may be, shall provide to Seller evidence of a commercial general liability insurance policy in the amount of not less than $1,000,000.00 that names Seller as an additional insured. Purchaser shall provide reasonable advance written notice to Seller with respect to any entries by or on behalf of Purchaser onto the Property, and a representative of Seller shall have the right to accompany the inspecting party. All results of such inspections and tests shall be held by Purchaser and its agents and contractors (pursuant to agreements reasonably satisfactory to Seller) in confidence, and copies of such inspection and test results shall be promptly delivered to Seller by Purchaser upon Purchaser’s receipt.

3.3           Right of Objection and Termination. If Purchaser determines to proceed with the purchase of the Property, then Purchaser shall, before the end of the Inspection Period, notify Seller and Escrow Agent in writing that Purchaser has approved all of the matters described in Section 3.2 (the “ Approval Notice ”). If for any reason whatsoever Purchaser determines, in Purchaser’s sole subjective discretion, that the Property or any aspect thereof is unsuitable for Purchaser’s acquisition during the Inspection Period, as applicable, Purchaser shall, if it desires, be entitled to give written notice (the “ Inspection Objection Notice ”) to Seller on or before the last day of the Inspection Period of any objectionable matters (the “ Inspection Objections ”). If Purchaser delivers an Inspection Objection Notice within the time period provided, Seller may elect to: (i) cure such Inspection Objections at any time prior to Closing or (ii) take no action with regard thereto. Seller shall give Purchaser written notice of Seller’s election within five (5) days after Seller’s receipt of an Inspection Objection Notice from Purchaser. Seller’s failure to provide such a notice within five (5) days shall be deemed to be Seller’s notice that it will take no action with respect to any matters which are the subject of Purchaser’s Inspection Objections. If Purchaser is dissatisfied with Seller's cure or election not to cure, Purchaser may either (i) elect to waive such Inspection Objections and proceed to Closing, or (ii) terminate this Agreement by delivering written notice to Seller within five (5) days of receiving notice of Seller’s election (or of the end of Seller’s period in which to so elect if no election is made by Seller) in which event Purchaser shall receive the entirety of the Deposit then held by Title Company, including any interest accrued thereon, regardless of the Inspection Period having then expired, the Agreement shall terminate and the Parties shall be relieved of any further liability or obligation hereunder except to the extent otherwise provided herein to survive termination. Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected to terminate this Agreement if either (a) Purchaser fails to timely deliver either the Approval Notice or Inspection Objection Notice as set forth herein; or (b) having delivered the Inspection Objection Notice, Purchaser fails to timely elect to waive such Inspection Objection(s) in writing as set forth herein. If this Agreement is terminated (or deemed terminated) pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section, or if Seller fails to complete a proposed cure to Purchaser’s reasonable satisfaction, then neither Party shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder (except for any indemnity obligations in Section 3.2 and 8.1 hereof), the Deposit, and all interest thereon, shall be returned to Purchaser and each Party shall bear its own costs incurred hereunder.

ARTICLE IV

CLOSING

4.1           Time and Place . The Parties shall conduct an escrow closing (the “Closing” ) on or before the date that is thirty (30) days after the expiration or waiver of the Study Period, or an earlier date only upon mutual agreement of the Parties (the “Closing Date” ). In the event the Closing does not occur on or before the Closing Date, the Title Company shall, unless it is notified by both Seller and Purchaser to the contrary within three (3) business days after the Closing Date, return to the depositor thereof items other than the Deposit (return of which shall be as otherwise provided herein) which were deposited hereunder; any such return shall not, however, relieve either Party of any liability it may have for its wrongful failure to close. At Closing, Seller and Purchaser shall perform the obligations set forth in, respectively, Section 4.2 hereof and Section 4.3 hereof, the performance of which obligations shall be concurrent conditions. The Closing shall be consummated through an escrow administered by the Escrow Agent. The Purchase Price then payable and all documents shall be deposited with the Escrow Agent as escrowee pursuant to closing instructions from each Party that are not inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement, providing for, among other things, disbursement of the closing proceeds only after the Title Company has agreed to issue the Title Policy in accordance with Section 2.4.

(c)          in the event that any representation or warranty of Seller requires modification, deliver to Purchaser a certificate, dated as of the Closing Date and executed on behalf of Seller by a duly authorized signatory thereof, identifying any representation or warranty which is not, or no longer is, materially true and correct and explaining the state of facts giving rise to the change. In the event any such change to a Seller representation or warranty results in a material adverse effect to Purchaser’s rights under this Agreement or otherwise would materially adversely impact the Property or Purchaser’s ownership thereof, Purchaser shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by delivery of written notice thereof to Seller and receive return of the Deposit. Subject to the following terms and conditions, in no event shall Seller be liable to Purchaser for, or be deemed to be in default hereunder by reason of, any such modification of a representation or warranty. If Purchaser waives such misrepresentations or breaches and consummates the Closing in accordance with the foregoing, Seller shall continue to be obligated to remove or insure over or bond over (i) any Voluntary Title Exception or (ii) Monetary Title Exceptions (other than non-delinquent real property taxes and special assessments for the year of Closing and thereafter) created by, under or through Seller, and if Seller fails to remove or insure over or bond over any such Voluntary Title Exceptions or Monetary Title Exceptions, Purchaser shall have a right to have the Title Company pay such amounts as a Removal Deduction at Closing), or (B) to terminate this Agreement by written notice given to Seller on the Closing Date, in which event this Agreement shall be terminated, and to the extent that such misrepresentation or breach is as a result of Seller’s intentional acts or intentional failure to disclose information known by Seller as of the Effective Date, Purchaser shall have the right to seek recovery from Seller for any and all of Purchaser’s due diligence costs and, thereafter, neither party shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder except for the provisions which expressly survive the terms hereof;

Seller shall pay or credit on the Purchase Price the entirety of any delinquent real estate taxes, including penalty and interest, all assessments, all unpaid real estate tax not yet due for years prior to Closing and a portion of such taxes for the year of Closing prorated through the Closing Date. Any such apportionment made with respect to a tax year for which the taxes have not yet been fixed shall be based on a 365-day year and on the most recent tax rate or mill levy, as applicable, and assessed Property valuation; provided that when tax bills with respect to such prorated taxes are received after Closing, to the extent the estimated proration amount differs from the actual amount owing by more than $5,000, such taxes will then be re-prorated on the basis of the actual taxes and cash settlement made between Seller and Purchaser and the Party owing the amount of the deficiency shall pay to the other Party such deficiency amount within thirty (30) days of delivery of written request therefor accompanied by the final tax statement evidencing the actual amount owing.

ARTICLE VI

DEFAULT

6.1           Default by Purchaser . IF THE SALE IS NOT CONSUMMATED DUE TO ANY DEFAULT BY PURCHASER HEREUNDER, THEN SELLER’S SOLE REMEDY SHALL BE THE RIGHT TO RETAIN THE DEPOSIT AS LIQUIDATED DAMAGES. THE PARTIES HAVE AGREED THAT SELLER’S ACTUAL DAMAGES, IN THE EVENT OF A FAILURE TO CONSUMMATE THIS SALE DUE TO PURCHASER’S DEFAULT, WOULD BE EXTREMELY DIFFICULT OR IMPRACTICABLE TO DETERMINE. AFTER NEGOTIATION, THE PARTIES HAVE AGREED THAT, CONSIDERING ALL THE CIRCUMSTANCES EXISTING ON THE DATE OF THIS AGREEMENT, THE AMOUNT OF THE DEPOSIT IS A REASONABLE ESTIMATE OF THE DAMAGES THAT SELLER WOULD INCUR IN SUCH EVENT AND SELLER HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVES ITS RIGHT TO ANY ADDITIONAL DAMAGES OTHER THAN AS SET FORTH IN SECTION 6.3 BELOW.

6.2           Default by Seller . IN THE EVENT THAT SELLER DEFAULTS OR FAILS TO CONSUMMATE THIS AGREEMENT FOR ANY REASON, PURCHASER SHALL BE ENTITLED AS ITS SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDIES EITHER (A) TO RECEIVE THE RETURN OF THE DEPOSIT, WHICH RETURN SHALL OPERATE TO TERMINATE THIS AGREEMENT, OR (B) TO ENFORCE SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE OF SELLER’S OBLIGATION TO EXECUTE THE DOCUMENTS REQUIRED TO CONVEY THE PROPERTY TO PURCHASER. PURCHASER SHALL BE DEEMED TO HAVE ELECTED TO TERMINATE THIS AGREEMENT AND RECEIVE RETURN OF THE DEPOSIT IF PURCHASER FAILS TO FILE SUIT FOR SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE AGAINST SELLER IN A COURT HAVING JURISDICTION IN THE COUNTY AND STATE IN WHICH THE PROPERTY IS LOCATED, ON OR BEFORE NINETY (90) DAYS FOLLOWING THE DATE UPON WHICH CLOSING WAS TO HAVE OCCURRED. IN EITHER EVENT PURCHASER SHALL RETAIN THE RIGHT TO PURSUIT OF, AND SELLER SHALL BE LIABLE FOR REIMBURSEMENT OF, ALL OF PURCHASER’S COSTS AND EXPENSES INCURRED IN PURSUIT OF THE PURCHASE CONTEMPLATED HEREIN (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ALL REASONABLE LEGAL FEES IN PREPARATION, NEGOTIATION AND REVIEW OF DOCUMENTS, REPORTS AND INSPECTION ITEMS, AND ALL THIRD PARTY COSTS INCURRED IN CONNECTION WITH INSPECTION OF THE PROPERTY).

6.3      Recoverable Damages . Notwithstanding Sections 6.1 and 6.2 hereof, in no event shall the provisions of Sections 6.1 and 6.2 limit the damages recoverable by either Party against the other Party due to the other Party’s obligation to indemnify such Party in accordance with this Agreement. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, except as otherwise set forth below, neither Party shall be entitled to any special, punitive, speculative, or indirect damages. IF PURCHASER IS UNABLE TO OBTAIN SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE PURSUANT TO SECTION 6.2 ABOVE SOLELY BECAUSE SELLER HAS INTENTIONALLY CONVEYED ALL OR A PORTION OF THE PROPERTY (“ INTENTIONAL CONVEYANCE ”) DURING THE TERM OF THIS AGREEMENT, PURCHASER SHALL HAVE A RIGHT TO SEEK RECOVERY FROM SELLER OF PURCHASER’S DAMAGES, WITHOUT LIMITATION, SOLELY AS A RESULT OF THE INTENTIONAL CONVEYANCE, provided that the action shall be commenced, and service of process made not later than thirty (30) days after the scheduled Closing Date.

ARTICLE VII

RISK OF LOSS

7.1           Minor Damage . In the event of loss or damage to the Property or any portion thereof which is not “major” (as hereinafter defined), this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect provided Seller performs any necessary repairs or, at Seller’s option, assigns to Purchaser all of Seller’s right, title and interest to any claims and proceeds Seller may have with respect to any casualty insurance policies or condemnation awards relating to the premises in question. In the event that Seller elects to perform repairs upon the Property, Seller shall use best reasonable commercial efforts to complete such repairs promptly and the date of Closing shall be extended a reasonable time in order to allow for the completion of such repairs. If Seller elects to assign a casualty claim to Purchaser, the Purchase Price shall be reduced by an amount equal to the deductible amount under Seller’s insurance policy.

7.2           Major Damage . In the event of a “major” loss or damage, either Seller or Purchaser may terminate this Agreement by written notice to the other Party, in which event the Deposit shall be returned to Purchaser. If neither Seller nor Purchaser elects to terminate this Agreement within ten (10) days after Seller sends Purchaser written notice of the occurrence of major loss or damage, then Seller and Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected to proceed with Closing, in which event Seller shall, at Seller’s option, either (a) perform any necessary repairs, or (b) assign to Purchaser all of Seller’s right, title and interest to any claims and proceeds Seller may have with respect to any casualty insurance policies or condemnation awards relating to the premises in question. In the event that Seller elects to perform repairs upon the Property, Seller shall use best reasonable commercial efforts to complete such repairs promptly and the date of Closing shall be extended a reasonable time in order to allow for the completion of such repairs. If Seller elects to assign a casualty claim to Purchaser, the Purchase Price shall be reduced by an amount equal to the deductible amount under Seller’s insurance policy.

7.3           Definition of “Major” Loss or Damage . For purposes of Sections 7.1 and 7.2 hereof, “ major ” loss or damage refers to the following: (i) loss or damage to the Property or any portion thereof such that the cost of repairing or restoring the premises in question to a condition substantially identical to that of the premises in question prior to the event of damage would be, in the opinion of an unaffiliated architect selected by Seller and reasonably approved by Purchaser, equal to or greater than twenty percent (20%) of the Purchase Price, or (ii) any loss due to a condemnation which, in the opinion of an unaffiliated architect selected by Seller and reasonably approved by Purchaser, permanently and materially impairs the current use of the Property. If Purchaser does not give notice to Seller of Purchaser’s reasons for disapproving an architect within five (5) business days after receipt of notice of the proposed architect, Purchaser shall be deemed to have approved the architect selected by Seller.

ARTICLE VIII

COMMISSIONS

8.1           Agency Disclosure . Seller represents that its sole broker is Chad Kollar of CRESA and Purchaser represents that it is represented by Joe Pierce of ERES (collectively “Broker”) in this transaction. All commissions owing to the Broker will be paid by Seller pursuant to a separate written agreement between Seller and the Broker. Purchaser and Seller represent that other than the Brokers, neither Party has dealt with any other real estate broker, sales person nor finder in connection with purchase of the Property contemplated hereunder and no such other person is entitled to any commission, finder’s fee, broker’s fee or similar compensation in connection herewith. Each Party agrees that if any person or entity, other than the Broker, makes a claim for brokerage commissions or finder’s fees related to the sale of the Property by Seller to Purchaser, and such claim is made by, through or on account of any acts or alleged acts of that Party or its representatives, that Party will protect, indemnify, defend and hold the other Party free and harmless from and against any and all loss, liability, cost, damage and expense (including reasonable attorney’s fees) in connection therewith. The provisions of this paragraph shall survive Closing or any termination of this Agreement.

Exhibit E

Terms of Post-Closing Occupancy

Seller’s Continued Use of Property . Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, for a period of one hundred twenty (120) days following the Closing Date (the “ Transition Period ”), Purchaser agrees to allow Seller to continue to occupy and use certain portions of the Property for the sole purpose of winding down Seller’s business operations at the Property until the expiration of the Transition Period in accordance with the floorplan and timetable attached to this Exhibit E. The portions of the Property referred to in the preceding sentence which will continue to be used by Seller after the Closing are collectively referred to hereinafter as the “ Transition Space .” Purchaser and Seller acknowledge and agree that as of the Closing, Seller will not occupy or use any portion of the Property other than the Transition Space and Purchaser will have exclusive use of all parts of the Property except the Transition Space as of the Closing Date. Purchaser shall pay for all operating costs including taxes, insurance, CAM, utilities, etc. to the extent those costs would not materially change with Seller’s co-occupancy of the Property. For so long as Seller occupies and uses any portion of the Transition Space, Seller agrees to conduct, and to cause its employees, agents and representatives to conduct, Seller’s business operations in the Transition Space: (i) in a safe and professional manner, (ii) so as not to unreasonably interfere with Purchaser’s business operations, (iii) so as not to create any dangerous or hazardous condition on the Property, and (iv) in compliance with all applicable laws. Seller agrees to repair any damage Seller or its employees, agents or representatives may cause to the Property; provided, however, that Seller will not be responsible for any damage resulting from, arising from or occasioned by the gross negligence or willful act of Purchaser. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, beginning on the Closing Date and until the expiration of the Transition Period: (i) Seller will comply with all laws, statutes, rules, regulations and ordinances that are applicable to the Property, and the use, occupation, ownership and conveyance thereof, including, without limitation, environmental laws; (ii) Seller will not commit waste on the Transition Space; (iii) Seller will maintain the Transition Space, including all improvements thereon, in its current condition and repair, ordinary wear and tear excepted; (iv) Seller will promptly notify Purchaser of any condemnation, environmental, zoning or other land-use regulation proceedings, notices of violations of laws relating to the Transition Space, or litigation relating to the Transition Space of which Seller obtains knowledge; (v) Seller will maintain, at Seller’s expense, all policies of insurance currently in effect with respect to the Transition Space; and (vi) Seller will conduct its business operations on the Transition Space in the ordinary and customary course. Seller will defend, indemnify and hold Purchaser harmless from any and all damages, costs, losses and expenses directly resulting from Seller’s occupancy and/or use of the Transition Space. This section will survive the Closing or termination of this Agreement. For greater clarity, from the Closing Date until the expiration of the Transition Period, no provision in this Section shall prevent Purchaser from commencing construction on the Transition Space in connection with Purchaser’s business operations to be conducted on the Property and Seller will use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with Purchaser to facilitate such construction; provided, that Purchaser will allow Seller reasonable access to all areas within the Transition Space (including areas that Purchaser occupies) to the extent reasonably necessary for the sole purpose of conducting Seller’s winding down of Seller’s business operations at the Property.

Expiration of Transition Period; Holdback Amount . Upon the expiration of the Transition Period, Seller shall remove all of its fixtures and other personal property from the Transition Space and shall no longer occupy or use the Transition Space. If Seller complies with the preceding sentence, Purchaser and Seller shall provide Escrow Agent with joint written instructions to disburse the entire Holdback Amount to Seller in accordance with such instructions. If Seller fails to comply with the first sentence of this Section, then (i) upon Escrow Agent’s receipt of written instructions from Purchaser, Escrow Agent shall disburse $100,000 from the Holdback Amount to Purchaser in accordance with such instructions; and (ii) Escrow Agent shall continue to disburse $100,000 from the Holdback Amount every week (and Purchaser shall provide written instructions to Escrow Agent for each such disbursement) until the first to occur of (A) Seller achieving compliance with the first sentence of this Section, and (B) the depletion of the Holdback Amount. If Seller achieves compliance with the first sentence of this Section prior to the depletion of the Holdback Amount, then Purchaser and Seller shall provide Escrow Agent with joint written instructions to disburse the remaining portion of the Holdback Amount to Seller in accordance with such instructions. If Seller fails to comply with the first sentence of this Section at the time the entire Holdback Amount has been depleted, then Seller shall commence to pay rent to Purchaser for its occupancy and use of the Transition Space at a monthly rate to be determined by Purchaser, in its sole and exclusive discretion, which amount Seller agrees may not be fair market value.
