3. Escrow.

The Downpayment shall be held by Escrow Agent, in trust, on the terms hereinafter set forth:

3.4    If this Agreement is terminated in accordance with the terms hereof or if the Closing does not take place under this Agreement by reason of the failure of Purchaser or Seller to comply with its obligations hereunder, then Escrow Agent shall pay the Downpayment as required by the terms of this Agreement, provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, Escrow Agent shall not pay over the Downpayment to any party hereunder unless and until the following procedure is complied with: The party requesting disbursement of the Downpayment (the "Requesting Party") shall deliver notice to Escrow Agent and all other parties hereto requesting such disbursement. Within five (5) days after receipt of such notice of request, Escrow Agent shall deliver notice to all other parties hereto stating that the Requesting Party has requested such disbursement (and including a copy of the Requesting Party's notice). Within ten (10) days after receipt of Escrow Agent's notice, the non-requesting party shall either: (a) agree to permit such disbursement by Escrow Agent or (b) inform Escrow Agent that the non-requesting party does not agree to permit such disbursement. If the non-requesting party acts under clause (a), then Escrow Agent shall make the disbursement as requested by the Requesting Party. If the non-requesting party acts under clause (b), then Escrow Agent shall not make any disbursement except as provided in Section 3.6 or Section 3.7 below. If the non-requesting party fails to respond during the foregoing ten (10) day period, same shall be deemed to be the response of the non-requesting party under clause (a) on the last day of such ten (10) day period. The provisions of this Section 3.4 are subject to the provisions of Section 3.7.               

3.5    It is agreed that the duties of Escrow Agent are only as herein specifically provided, and, subject to the provisions of Section 3.6 hereof, are purely ministerial in nature, and that Escrow Agent shall incur no liability whatever except for willful misconduct or gross negligence, as long as Escrow Agent has acted in good faith. Seller and Purchaser each release Escrow Agent from any act done or omitted to be done by Escrow Agent in good faith in the performance of its duties hereunder.

3.6    Escrow Agent is acting as a stakeholder only with respect to the Downpayment. If there is any dispute as to whether Escrow Agent is obligated to deliver the Downpayment as to whom the Downpayment is to be delivered, Escrow Agent shall not make any delivery, but in such event Escrow Agent shall hold same until receipt by Escrow Agent of an authorization in writing, signed by all the parties having interest in such dispute, directing the disposition of same, or, in the absence of such authorization Escrow Agent shall hold the Downpayment until the final determination of the rights of the parties in an appropriate proceeding. If such written authorization is not given, or proceedings for such determination are not begun within thirty (30) days after the Closing Date and diligently continued, Escrow Agent may bring an appropriate action or proceeding for leave to deposit the Downpayment in court pending such determination. Escrow Agent shall be reimbursed for all costs and expenses of such action or proceeding including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements, by the party determined not to be entitled to the Downpayment. Upon making delivery of the Downpayment in the manner herein provided, Escrow Agent shall have no further liability hereunder. The provisions of this Section 3.6 are subject to the provisions of Section 3.7.

3.7    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, including, without limitation, the other provisions of this Section 3, prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period [(as hereinafter defined)], the escrow established hereunder shall be a "sole order" escrow for the benefit of Purchaser (meaning that Escrow Agent shall act solely in accordance with the instructions of Purchaser until the expiration of the Due Diligence Period in respect of the Downpayment). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that on or prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, Purchaser delivers notice to Escrow Agent stating that Purchaser has elected to terminate this Agreement pursuant to the provisions of Section 19, then Escrow Agent shall refund to Purchaser the Downpayment without any requirement that Escrow Agent first notify or obtain any approval or consent of Seller as provided in Section 3.4 above. In furtherance of the foregoing, in the event Purchaser so instructs Escrow Agent on or prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, Escrow Agent agrees that it shall not be permitted to, and shall not, follow any conflicting instructions given by Seller or any third party as to the disposition of the Downpayment but shall instead follow only the instructions of Purchaser in connection therewith. Seller agrees in such instance not to deliver any conflicting instructions to Escrow Agent for any reason and hereby instructs Escrow Agent to act in respect of the Downpayment solely in accordance with Purchaser's instructions on or prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, including instructions of Purchaser to return the Downpayment to Purchaser.

3.8    Escrow Agent has executed this Agreement in order to confirm that Escrow Agent has received the Deposit, and that Escrow Agent will hold the Downpayment in escrow, pursuant to the provisions hereof.

3.9    Seller and Purchaser shall equally pay the fee charged by Escrow Agent as a result of this transaction.

Apportionments of real property taxes, water rates and charges and sewer taxes and rents shall be made on the basis of the fiscal year for which assessed. If the Closing Date shall occur before the real property tax rate is fixed, the apportionment of taxes shall be made on the basis of the amount of tax for the preceding year. After the real property taxes, water rates and charges are finally fixed, Seller and Purchaser shall make a recalculation of the apportionment of same, and Seller or Purchaser, as the case may be, shall promptly make an appropriate payment to the other based on such recalculation.

Seller agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Purchaser from and against any claim, loss, damage or liability (including reasonable attorneys' fees and costs of enforcement of the foregoing indemnification obligation) arising out of Seller's failure to pay such amounts. Purchaser agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Seller from and against any claim, loss, damage or liability (including reasonable attorneys' fees and costs of enforcement of the foregoing indemnification obligation) arising out of Purchaser's failure to pay any such amounts for operating expenses and trade accounts of the Property after the Cut-Off Time. The provisions of this Section 6.7 shall survive the Closing.

If the Title Commitment discloses exceptions to title for the Property which are not acceptable to Purchaser in Purchaser's sole discretion (any such exception being referred to herein as an "Unpermitted Title Exception"), then Purchaser shall have the right to terminate this Agreement on or prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, in which event the provisions of Section 19 will apply.

If, prior to the Closing Date, a Material Taking (as hereinafter defined) occurs, then (i) Seller shall notify Purchaser of such fact and (ii) Purchaser shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by delivering notice of such termination to Seller within ten (10) days after it receives such notice from Seller, or the Date of Closing, whichever occurs first. In the event that Purchaser fails to exercise such termination right due to such Material Taking within such period, Purchaser shall be deemed to have waived such termination right, in which event the provisions of the first sentence of this Section 12.1 shall apply to such Material Taking. In the event that Purchaser delivers a notice of termination within such period, Escrow Agent shall refund the Downpayment to Purchaser, whereupon this Agreement shall terminate and neither party shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder except for the Surviving Obligations, which shall survive such termination.

13. Conditions Precedent.

13.1. Conditions to Obligations of Purchaser. The obligation of Purchaser to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are subject to the satisfaction of the following conditions precedent:

1. Seller shall have performed or observed all of its obligations under this Agreement;

2. The representations and warranties of Seller contained in this Agreement shall be true, correct and accurate on the Closing Date;

3. Seller shall have delivered all documents and instruments required to be delivered by Seller pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement;

4. Purchaser shall have received the Title Commitment from the Title Company in compliance with the requirements of Section 7 hereof, which shall (i) show no exceptions other than the Permitted Title Exceptions;

5. There has been no material change to the physical condition of the Property since the Effective Date, except as provided in Section 12 hereof;

7. The title to the Property shall be conveyed to Purchaser subject solely to the Permitted Exceptions;

If any of the foregoing conditions are not satisfied on the Closing Date, Purchaser shall have the right (in addition to any right Purchaser may have under Section 14 in the event that the non-satisfaction of a condition is as a result of a breach or default by Seller) (x) to terminate this Agreement by notice given to Seller on or before the Closing Date, whereupon the entire Downpayment shall be refunded to Purchaser and upon such refund, no party hereto shall have any rights or obligations hereunder except for the Surviving Obligations, which shall survive such termination, or (y) at Purchaser's sole option, to waive any unsatisfied condition and consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.

13.2. Conditions to Obligations of Seller. The obligation of Seller to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are subject to the satisfaction of the following conditions precedent:

2. Purchaser shall have delivered all documents and instruments required to be delivered by Purchaser pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement; and

3. Purchaser shall have paid to Seller the full Purchase Price, subject to proration and adjustment in accordance with the provisions hereof.

14. Termination of Agreement; Default.

14.1. By Purchaser. If Purchaser shall default hereunder (including, without limitation, a default hereunder based on breach by Purchaser of any of its representations and warranties contained herein that is discovered prior to the Closing) or shall fail or refuse to perform its obligation to purchase the Property in accordance with this Agreement, Seller, as its sole remedy, shall have the right to cause Escrow Agent to deliver to Seller the Downpayment as is then maintained in escrow by Escrow Agent, as and for its liquidated damages (the parties hereto acknowledging that it would be difficult or impossible to accurately ascertain the amount of Seller's damages). THE PARTIES AGREE THAT SELLER'S DAMAGES IN THE EVENT OF PURCHASER'S DEFAULT HEREUNDER WOULD BE DIFFICULT AND IMPRACTICAL TO CALCULATE AND THAT THE FOREGOING PAYMENT (A) HAS BEEN AGREED UPON, AFTER NEGOTIATION, AS THE PARTIES REASONABLE ESTIMATE OF SELLER'S DAMAGES, (B) REPRESENTS A FAIR AND ADEQUATE MEASURE OF DAMAGES, AND (C) REPRESENTS SELLER'S EXCLUSIVE REMEDY AGAINST PURCHASER, AT LAW OR IN EQUITY, IN THE EVENT OF A DEFAULT UNDER THIS AGREEMENT ON THE PART OF PURCHASER.

14.2. By Seller. If Purchaser shall have performed or tendered performance of all of its material obligations under this Agreement, and the sale contemplated hereby is not consummated because of a default by Seller in its obligation to sell the Property in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, then, Purchaser may, as its sole and exclusive remedy at law or in equity pursue one of the following remedies: (a) terminate this Agreement by giving written notice thereof to Seller on or before the Closing Date, in which event the Downpayment will be returned to Purchaser and the parties shall have no further obligation to each other except for the Surviving Obligations; (b) waive such default and consummate the transactions contemplated hereby in accordance with the terms of this Agreement (and if Purchaser proceeds to Closing, with or without delivering notice of default, it will be conclusively deemed to have selected this remedy); (c) recover its actual, reasonable, third-party costs incurred in connection with its inspection and testing of the Property, not to exceed the amount of $200,000; or (d) specifically enforce this Agreement, provided in the event that Seller has taken affirmative action to sell, transfer, or lease the Property and such action renders specific performance impossible or inadequate as a remedy, then and only then, Purchaser may recover its actual (but not consequential or punitive) damages from Seller. As a condition precedent to Purchaser exercising any right to bring an action for specific performance or damages as the result of Seller's default hereunder, Purchaser must commence such action within sixty (60) days after the last scheduled Closing Date. Purchaser agrees that its failure to timely commence such an action within such sixty (60) day period shall be deemed a waiver by it of its right to commence such an action. Purchaser hereby irrevocably waives any other right or remedy for such default by Seller.

14.3. Subsequent to Closing. (a) If the Closing occurs, Purchaser hereby expressly waives, relinquishes and releases any right or remedy available to it at law, in equity, under this Agreement or otherwise to make a claim against Seller for damages that Purchaser may incur, or to rescind this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, as the result of any of Seller's representations or warranties in this Agreement or any document executed by Seller in connection herewith being untrue, inaccurate or incorrect if Purchaser knew, or is deemed to know, that such representation or warranty was untrue, inaccurate or incorrect at the time of the Closing. In the event that any representation or warranty made by Seller herein is found to be inaccurate, untrue or breached, as the case may be, in any material respect after the Closing Date, Purchaser shall have the right, for a period of fifteen (15) months after the Closing Date, to seek actual (but not consequential or punitive) damages from Seller; provided, however, that Purchaser must commence a legal action or proceeding seeking such damages within said fifteen (15) month period, or its claims shall thereafter be barred.

15. Guaranty of Post-Closing Obligations of Seller.

George T. Holden ("Guarantor"), has executed a copy of this Agreement for the sole reason of guaranteeing the performance by Seller of its post-Closing obligations under Section 14.3, provided in no event shall Guarantor's obligations exceed $25,000 in the aggregate, and provided further, Guarantor shall have no liability with respect to any breach of a representation or warranty by Seller if Purchaser shall fail to commence an action against Guarantor with respect to the breach in question within nine (9) months after Closing. Guarantor has no liability to Purchaser in connection with the Property or this Agreement, other than as expressly stated and limited in this Section 15. Guarantor's obligation under this Section 15 is an absolute, unconditional and irrevocable guaranty of payment and performance, and not merely a guaranty of collection, and at all times Guarantor's obligations hereunder shall be absolute, irrevocable and unconditional in all respects. Except for the limits as to amount and time as set forth in this Section 15, the liability of Guarantor, as set forth above, is co-extensive with that of Seller, and Guarantor's obligation under this Section 15 shall be enforceable against Guarantor without the necessity of any suit or proceedings on Purchaser's part of any kind or nature whatsoever against Seller. Guarantor hereby waives notice of the acceptance hereof, presentment, demand for payment, protest, notice of protest, or any and all notice of non-payment, non-performance or non-observance, or other proof, or notice or demand, whereby to charge Guarantor therefor. Guarantor hereby expressly agrees that Guarantor's obligation under this Section 15 shall in no way be terminated, affected, diminished or impaired by reason of (a) the assertion of or the failure by Purchaser to assert against Seller any of the rights or remedies reserved to Purchaser pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, or (b) any modification of other Sections of this Agreement, or (c) any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, receivership or trusteeship affecting Seller or Seller's successors or assigns, in each case, whether or not notice thereof is given to Guarantor.

16. Reserved.
17. Expenses.

1. Seller shall be obligated to pay (i) the cost of obtaining an ALTA extended coverage title insurance policy for Purchaser, and the cost of all "curative" endorsements thereto which Seller elects to provide and all costs of satisfying Seller's obligations under Section 7, provided Purchaser shall bear the expense of any other endorsements requested by Purchaser or its lender, (iii) fifty percent (50%) of any escrow fees and closing fees charged by Escrow Agent, (iv) its own legal fees, and (v) any other costs or expenses stated in this Agreement to be the obligation of Seller.

2. Purchaser shall be obligated to pay (i) the cost of its (and its lender's) requested endorsements to the title insurance policy, (ii) fifty percent (50%) of any escrow fees and closing fees charged by Escrow Agent, (iii) its own legal fees, (iv) any and all sales and use taxes arising out of any transfer of Personal Property, and (v) any other costs or expenses stated in this Agreement to be the obligation of Purchaser.

3. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 17 and elsewhere in this Agreement, Purchaser and Seller shall allocate all other expenses in connection with this Agreement in accordance with the custom and practices of the jurisdiction in which the Property is located.

18. Reserved.
19. Due Diligence Period.

19.1. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Purchaser shall have the period commencing on the Effective Date and expiring on the date thirty (30) days after the Effective Date (such period being referred to herein as the "Due Diligence Period") in which to complete its due diligence with respect to the Property and to obtain financing for Purchaser's acquisition of the Property on terms acceptable to Purchaser. On or before the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, Purchaser shall deliver a notice to Seller ("Purchaser's Notice") stating either (a) Purchaser has determined to proceed with the transactions contemplated hereby or (b) Purchaser has determined to terminate this Agreement. If Purchaser's Notice is delivered under clause (a) on or before the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, then Purchaser shall be deemed to have waived any further right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 19.1 and this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect. If Purchaser's Notice is delivered under clause (b) on or before the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, then Escrow Agent shall immediately refund the Downpayment to Purchaser, and upon such refund, this Agreement shall terminate, no party hereto shall have any rights or obligations hereunder except for the Surviving Obligations, which shall survive such termination. Purchaser's failure to deliver Purchaser's Notice on or before the expiration of the Due Diligence Period shall be deemed delivery of Purchaser's Notice under clause (b) on the last day of the Due Diligence Period. Purchaser shall have the right to deliver Purchaser's Notice under clause (b) for any reason or for no reason in Purchaser's sole and absolute discretion.

19.2. Seller shall deliver to Purchaser, within five (5) days after the Effective Date, the following documents, in each instance, if and to the extent same is within the possession or reasonable control of Seller or any affiliate of Seller (the "Due Diligence Documents") for Purchaser's review in connection with Purchaser's due diligence:
