Purchaser shall be required to assume each of the Service Contracts to the extent the same affects the Property (each an “Assumed Service Contract” and collectively, the “Assumed Service Contracts”), other than those that are terminable upon not more than thirty (30) days’ notice without penalty, and that Purchaser notifies Seller before the end of the Inspection Period that Purchaser elects to terminate at Closing.

ARTICLE 5
TITLE AND SURVEY
- 5 -
0099994\161282\11916407v3
5.1Title. Within five (5) days after the Effective Date, Purchaser shall order a title commitment (the “Commitment”), together with copies of all title documents listed as exceptions, from Escrow Agent or any nationally recognized title insurance company (such title company is hereinafter referred to as the “Title Company”) agreeing to issue to Purchaser an owner’s policy of title insurance in the total amount of the Purchase Price insuring leasehold marketable title to the Property, subject only to the Permitted Exceptions (as defined below). Purchaser shall have twenty (20) days after the last to be received of the Commitment and the Survey (as hereinafter defined), but no later than five (5) business days before the end of the Inspection Period, within which to notify Seller in writing (the “Title Objection Notice”) of any defects or objections to the title appearing in the Commitment or the Survey (each, a “Title Defect” and collectively, the “Title Defects”). Purchaser’s failure to timely deliver the Title Objection Notice shall be deemed Purchaser’s approval of the Commitment and the Survey. Within five (5) business days following receipt of Purchaser's Title Objection Notice, Seller shall deliver written notice to Purchaser and Title Company identifying those Title Defects, if any, identified in Purchaser's Title Notice that Seller shall undertake to cure or not cure (“Seller’s Response”). If Seller does not deliver a Seller’s Response within said five (5) business days, Seller shall be deemed to have elected not to cure any Title Defects set forth in Purchaser’s Title Objection Notice. If Seller timely elects (or is deemed to have elected) not to remove or otherwise cure a Title Defect in Purchaser’s Title Objection Notice, then Purchaser shall have until the date which is three (3) business days after receipt of Seller’s Response to notify Seller and Title Company in writing of Purchaser’s election to either: (i) waive all such Title Defects (other than those Title Defects that Seller agreed to cure in Seller’s Response), in which event such Title Defects shall be deemed to be Permitted Exceptions (as defined herein); or (ii) terminate this Agreement and the escrow established hereunder, in which event Escrow Agent shall return the Earnest Money to Purchaser, upon such refund being made this Agreement shall terminate, and the parties shall have no further liability hereunder except with respect to those obligations hereunder which expressly survive the termination of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall be required, at or prior to Closing, to pay or cause the removal from title of all monetary liens created by Seller, delinquent real property taxes, and mechanics’ and materialmen’s liens arising from work by or at the behest of Seller encumbering the Premises (“Mandatory Removal Liens”), but excluding the [****] Documents.
5.2Permitted Exceptions. It is understood and agreed that the Property is being sold by Seller to Purchaser free and clear of all liens, claims, and encumbrances except for the Permitted Exceptions, and it is further understood and agreed that the conveyance by Assignment of Lease to be delivered by Seller at Closing shall be subject only to the following (“Permitted Exceptions”):
- 6 -
0099994\161282\11916407v3
5.3Later Title Exceptions. In the event that any supplemental or updated Commitment discloses any additional exceptions to title (each, a “Later Exception”), Purchaser shall have the right to undertake the process as provided in Section 5.1 above (regarding Purchaser’s Title Objection Notice and Seller’s Response) and the Closing Date shall be extended if and to the extent reasonably necessary to accommodate the time periods associated with such process for such Later Exception; provided, however, Purchaser’s deadline to provide a Purchaser’s Title Objection Notice with respect to any Later Exception(s) shall be five (5) business days after Purchaser’s receipt of such supplemental or updated Commitment; provided further, however, if Seller elects, or is deemed to have elected, not to remove or to cure a disapproved Later Exception(s), then Purchaser shall (without waiving its rights to the extent the Later Exception is the result of a Seller default) have the right exercisable in Purchaser’s sole and absolute discretion on or before three (3) business days after Seller’s election or deemed election to either (i) waive its objections to such disapproved Later Exception(s), and proceed to take title to the Premises subject to such Later Exception(s) (in which event such Later Exception(s) shall be deemed Permitted Exceptions), or (ii) terminate this Agreement and the escrow by giving written notice of such termination to Seller, in which case the Earnest Money shall be refunded to Purchaser (even if the Inspection Period has expired). Purchaser’s failure to timely provide Seller with written notice of waiver within said three (3) business day period shall constitute Purchaser’s election to waive its objections to such disapproved Later Exception(s), and proceed to take title to the Premises subject to such Later Exception(s).
5.4Survey. Not later than the end of the Inspection Period, Purchaser, at its sole cost and expense, may obtain a current ALTA survey of the Premises prepared by a registered land surveyor duly licensed in the State of Georgia (the “Survey”).

Purchaser may assign Purchaser’s rights under this Agreement.
12.10Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be illegal, invalid, or unenforceable under present or future laws, such provision shall be fully severable; this Agreement shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal, invalid, or unenforceable provision had never comprised a part of this Agreement; and, the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall not be affected by such illegal, invalid, or unenforceable provision or by its severance from this Agreement.

12.14Non-Merger. In addition to the specific language of non-merger found in certain Sections of this Agreement, any provision hereof which by its terms would be performed after Closing shall survive the Closing and shall not merge in the Closing or in the Assignment and Assumption of Lease or the Assignment and Assumption of [****] Documents, except as specifically provided to the contrary herein.
12.15Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY, AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT THEY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION BASED UPON THIS AGREEMENT OR ARISING OUT OF, UNDER, OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER AGREEMENT CONTEMPLATED AND EXECUTED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH, OR ANY COURSE OF DEALING, COURSE OF CONDUCT, STATEMENTS (WHETHER VERBAL OR WRITTEN) OR ACTIONS OF ANY PARTY HERETO.

12.17Judicial Interpretation. Should any of the provisions of this Agreement require judicial interpretation, the court interpreting or construing the same shall not apply the presumption that the terms thereof shall be more strictly construed against one party by reason of the rule of construction that a document is to be construed more strictly against the party who itself or through its agents prepared the same, it being agreed that the agents of all parties have participated in the preparation thereof.
12.18No Assumption of Seller’s Liability. Purchaser is acquiring only the Property from Seller.

12.19Confidentiality. Except as permitted by this Agreement, neither Purchaser, Seller, nor any broker shall issue any press releases nor make any public statement, public announcement, or public disclosure of any kind concerning the subject matter hereof or the status of negotiations conducted hereunder except as may be jointly agreed to by Seller and Purchaser or as either of them may consider necessary in order to satisfy the requirements of applicable law. The foregoing restrictions shall apply both before and after the Closing. This Section shall survive Closing.
12.20Landlord Warranties For Work Performed Under Leases. To the extent any of the Leases require the landlord under such Leases to warrant any work performed by Landlord or its contractor within the leased premises or otherwise on the Premises or the improvements located thereon (such work is hereinafter referred to as the “Warranty Work”), Seller shall assign to Purchaser all warranties of suppliers and contractors with respect to such leased space, and if consent to such assignment is required, Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such consent and, if not able to obtain such consent, shall cooperate with Purchaser after the Closing until the end of such warranty period to enforce any such warranty. This Section 12.20 shall survive Closing.
12.21Section 1031 or 1033 Exchange. Purchaser and Seller agree that, at either party’s election, this transaction shall be structured as an exchange of like-kind properties under Section 1031 or 1033 of the Internal Revenue Code and the regulations and proposed regulations thereunder. The party so electing shall be known as the “Electing Party,” and the other party shall be known as the “Non-Electing Party.” The parties agree that if either party wishes to make such election, it must do so on or prior to the Closing Date. If the Electing Party so elects, the Non-Electing Party shall cooperate with the Electing Party and execute documentation that may be reasonably requested in connection with any exchange; it being understood, however, that the Non-Electing Party shall not be required to take title to any other property as part of the Section 1031 or 1033 exchange. The Electing Party shall in all events be responsible for all costs and expenses related to the Section 1031 or 1033 exchange and shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Non-Electing Party from and against any and all liability, claims, damages and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs but excluding any attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred by the Non-Electing Party in connection with its review of the documents reasonably necessary to effect the Electing Party’s exchange) actually incurred by the Non-Electing Party and arising out of such Section 1031 or 1033 exchange. The foregoing indemnity shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

Seller covenants and agrees to refrain, during the term of this Agreement, from making, encouraging or soliciting or otherwise pursuing any other agreement regarding the sale of the Property or any portion thereof or any interest therein, and will deal exclusively with Buyer in good faith toward the completion of the transactions contemplated herein unless this Agreement shall be terminated as provided herein.
