1.Terms and Definitions. The terms listed below shall have the respective meaning given them as set forth adjacent to each term.
(a) “Broker” shall mean Stan Johnson Company, acting as Seller’s agent.
(b) “Closing” shall mean the consummation of the transaction contemplated herein, which shall occur, subject to the extension set forth in Section 10 hereof, on the date that is thirty (30) days after the last day of the Second Due Diligence Period (as defined herein). The date of Closing is sometimes hereinafter referred to as the “Closing Date.” Neither party will need to be present at Closing, it being anticipated that the parties will deliver all Closing documents and deliverables in escrow to the Escrow Agent (or if both Buyer and Seller agree, to Buyer’s and/or Seller’s counsel) prior to the date of Closing.
The foregoing Closing Date is an estimate of when closing shall occur. However, notwithstanding the foregoing, Closing will not occur until the later of such date or the fifth (5th) business day following the occurrence of all of the following (collectively, the “Completion of Construction”): (i) completion of construction of the Improvements (as defined herein) and delivery to Buyer of the punch-list of work to be completed by landlord under the Lease as approved by Tenant (the “Punch-List”), (ii) Tenant accepting possession of the Property pursuant to the Lease, Tenant commencing actual payment of rent pursuant to the Lease (and not just the obligation to pay rent where rent is withheld by Tenant in escrow as security for completion of the Punch-List items) (iii) the date on which Seller delivers to Buyer commercially reasonable documentation acceptable to Buyer evidencing the completion of construction of the Improvements in accordance with approved plans and specifications and (iv) the issuance and delivery to Buyer (or, as required by the Lease, to Tenant) of all permits, approvals and a copy of the certificate of occupancy, temporary certificate of occupancy, or any such other equivalent evidence that the Tenant is lawfully in possession of the Property for its intended purpose.
If Tenant has not commenced paying rent under the Lease on or before February 1, 2012, Buyer shall have the right to increase the capitalization rate by which the Purchase Price is based
by 0.10% and an additional 0.10% for every thirty (30) days thereafter until Tenant has commenced paying rent under the Lease. Buyer and Seller acknowledge that the Purchase Price (defined below) has been established using an initial annual rent of $1,457,326.00 and a capitalization rate of 7.50%, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the capitalization rate by which the Purchase Price is based shall not, under any circumstances, be increased beyond a capitalization rate of 7.70%. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if Tenant has not commenced paying rent under the Lease on or before April 16, 2012, Buyer shall have the absolute right to terminate the Purchase and Sale Agreement, at which time the Escrow Agent shall return the entire Deposit to Buyer and Seller shall reimburse Buyer for Buyer’s actual third party expenses incurred by Buyer in connection with its due diligence on the Property, not to exceed $15,000.00; however, Buyer shall deliver such written notice of termination to Seller on or before April 23, 2012 and Buyer’s failure to timely deliver such written termination notice will be deemed a waiver of Buyer’s termination rights under this Section 1(b).
Furthermore, Buyer and Seller acknowledge and agree that the Purchase Price shall be increased or decreased at Closing to reflect any increase in the amount of rent that is greater than the initial annual rent stated above ($1,457,326.00) and shall adjust the Purchase Price using the relevant capitalization rate determined pursuant to the terms of this Section 1(b).Notwithstanding anything to the contrary above or herein, if Tenant has an obligation to pay rent as of a date certain that has already been attained but has not commenced the actual payment of rent under the Lease by the deadlines established herein and such payment failure is due to mere administrative delays or causes, then any such Buyer’s right to increase in capitalization rate or Buyer’s right to terminate provided herein shall be null and void and of no force or effect against Seller.

8. Earnest Money Disbursement. The Earnest Money shall be held by Escrow Agent, in trust, and disposed of only in accordance with the following provisions:
(a) If the Closing occurs, Escrow Agent shall deliver the Earnest Money to, or upon the instructions of, Seller and Buyer on the Closing Date to be applied as part payment of the Purchase Price. If for any reason the Closing does not occur, Escrow Agent shall deliver the Earnest Money to Seller or Buyer only upon receipt of a written demand therefor from such party, subject to the following provisions of this clause (a). Subject to the last sentence of this clause (a), if for any reason the Closing does not occur and either party makes a written demand (the “Demand”) upon Escrow Agent for payment of any of the Earnest Money (First EM Deposit, Second EM Deposit or Third EM Deposit), Escrow Agent shall give written notice to the other party of the Demand within one business day after receipt of the Demand. If Escrow Agent does not receive a written objection from the other party to the proposed payment within five (5) business days after the giving of such notice by Escrow Agent, Escrow Agent is hereby authorized to make the payment set forth in the Demand. If Escrow Agent does receive such written objection within such period, Escrow Agent shall continue to hold such amount until otherwise directed by written instructions signed by Seller and Buyer or a final judgment of a court or final resolution pursuant to the parties’ mutually agreed method of alternative dispute resolution. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this clause (a) if Buyer delivers a notice to Escrow Agent stating that Buyer has timely terminated this Agreement, pursuant to the terms herein, on or prior to the expiration of the First Due Diligence Period, then Escrow Agent shall immediately return the First EM Deposit to Buyer without the necessity of delivering any notice to, or receiving any notice from Seller.
(b) The parties acknowledge that Escrow Agent is acting solely as a stakeholder at their request and for their convenience, that Escrow Agent shall not be deemed to be the agent of either of the parties, and that Escrow Agent shall not be liable to either of the parties for any action or omission on its part taken or made in good faith, and not in disregard of this Agreement, but shall be liable for its negligent acts and for any liabilities (including reasonable attorneys’ fees, expenses and disbursements) incurred by Seller or Buyer resulting from Escrow Agent’s mistake of law respecting Escrow Agent scope or nature of its duties. Seller and Buyer shall jointly and severally indemnify and hold Escrow Agent harmless from and against all liabilities (including reasonable attorneys’ fees, expenses and disbursements) incurred in connection with the performance of Escrow Agent’s duties hereunder, except with respect to actions or omissions taken or made by Escrow Agent in bad faith, in disregard of this Agreement or involving negligence on
the part of Escrow Agent. Escrow Agent has executed this Agreement in the place indicated on the signature page hereof in order to confirm that Escrow Agent has received and shall hold the Earnest Money in escrow, and shall disburse the Earnest Money pursuant to the provisions of this Section 8.
9. Default
(a) In the event that Seller is ready, willing and able to close in accordance with the terms and provisions hereof, and Buyer defaults in any of its obligations undertaken in this Agreement, and after Buyer has received ten (10) days’ written notice to cure and has failed to cure, Seller shall be entitled to, as its sole and exclusive remedies to either: (i) if Buyer is willing to proceed to Closing, waive such default and proceed to Closing in accordance with the terms and provisions hereof; (ii) enforce specific performance of Buyer’s obligations hereunder upon Buyer or upon one of Buyer’s Affiliates that shall be designated by Buyer to perform the obligations hereunder; or (iii) declare this Agreement to be terminated, and Seller shall be entitled to immediately receive all of the Earnest Money (First EM Deposit, Second EM Deposit and Third EM Deposit) as liquidated damages. Upon such termination, neither Buyer nor Seller shall have any further rights, obligations or liabilities hereunder, except as otherwise expressly provided herein. Seller and Buyer agree that (a) actual damages due to Buyer’s default hereunder would be difficult and inconvenient to ascertain and that such amount is not a penalty and is fair and reasonable in light of all relevant circumstances, (b) the amount specified as liquidated damages is not disproportionate to the damages that would be suffered and the costs that would be incurred by Seller as a result of having withdrawn the Property from the market, and (c) Buyer desires to limit its liability under this Agreement to the amount of the Earnest Money paid in the event Buyer fails to complete Closing. Except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Section 9(a), Seller hereby waives any right to recover the balance of the Purchase Price, or any part thereof, and the right to pursue any other remedy permitted at law or in equity against Buyer. In no event under this Section or otherwise shall Buyer be liable to Seller for any punitive, speculative or consequential damages.
(b) In the event of a default in the obligations herein taken by Seller, or in the event of the failure of a condition precedent set forth in Section 13 of this Agreement, with respect to the Property, and after Seller has received ten (10) days’ written notice to cure and has failed to cure, Buyer may, as its sole and exclusive remedy, either: (i) waive any unsatisfied conditions and proceed to Closing in accordance with the terms and provisions hereof; (ii) terminate this Agreement by delivering written notice thereof to Seller no later than Closing, upon which termination the Earnest Money shall be refunded to Buyer, Seller shall pay to Buyer all of the out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Buyer in connection with this Agreement, not to exceed $15,000.00, which return and payment shall operate to terminate this Agreement and release Seller and Buyer from any and all liability hereunder, except those which are specifically stated herein to survive any termination hereof; (iii) enforce specific performance of Seller’s obligations hereunder; (iv) by notice to Seller given on or before the Closing Date, extend the Closing Date for a period of up to thirty (30) days (the “Closing Extension Period”), and the “Closing Date” shall be moved to the last day of the Closing Extension Period. If Buyer so extends the Closing Date, then Seller may, but shall not be obligated to, cause said conditions to be satisfied during the Closing Extension
Period. If Seller does not cause said conditions to be satisfied during the Closing Extension Period, then Buyer shall have the remedies set forth in Section 9(b)(i) through (iv) above except that the term “Closing” shall read “Extended Closing” .

(n) A copy of the Punch-List, if any;

Buyer shall have a one-time right to extend the Closing for up to fifteen (15) days upon written notice to Seller to be received by Seller on or prior to the date scheduled for the Closing.

(b) Seller has not received any written notice of any current or pending litigation, condemnation proceeding or tax appeals affecting Seller or the Property and Seller does not have any knowledge of any pending litigation or tax appeals against Seller or the Property; Seller has not initiated, nor is Seller participating in, any action for a change or modification in the current subdivision, site plan, zoning or other land use permits for the Property;

(g) There are no occupancy rights, leases or tenancies affecting the Property other than the Lease and the Road Dedication Agreement. Neither this Agreement nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby is subject to any first right of refusal or other purchase right in favor of any other person or entity; and apart from this Agreement, Seller has not entered into any written agreements for the purchase or sale of the Property, or any interest therein which has not been terminated;
(h) The transactions contemplated hereby either (i) will not constitute a sale of
all or substantially all the assets of Seller, or (ii) if such transaction does constitute a sale of all or substantially all the assets of any Seller, Seller shall provide to Buyer at Closing an excise tax lien waiver or such other reasonably obtainable instruments evidencing compliance with laws or payment of taxes to the extent required by the law of the relevant state, or an indemnification from a party reasonably acceptable to Buyer for any resulting liability with respect to the period prior to the Closing;
(i) To Seller’s knowledge, subject to and except as set forth in the environmental reports delivered by Seller to Buyer, no hazardous substances have been generated, stored, released, or disposed of on or about the Property in violation of any law, rule or regulation applicable to the Property which regulates or controls matters relating to the environment or public health or safety (collectively, “Environmental Laws”). Seller has not received any written notice from (nor delivered any notice to) any federal, state, county, municipal or other governmental department, agency or authority concerning any petroleum product or other hazardous substance discharge or seepage. For purposes of this Subsection, “hazardous substances” shall mean any substance or material which is defined or deemed to be hazardous or toxic pursuant to any Environmental Laws; and
(j) Exhibit E attached hereto will, at the time of closing, be a true, correct and complete listing of all warranties in effect for the Property (the “Warranties).
The representations and warranties of Seller shall survive Closing for a period of One Hundred and Eighty (180) days.

The representations and warranties of Buyer shall survive Closing for a period of One Hundred and Eighty (180) days.

(g) Following Completion of Construction, Buyer shall have received an as-built ALTA survey, certified to Buyer and Buyer’s lender, confirming that the Improvements are legal conforming and comply with the approved site plan and any variance issued in connection with the construction and development of the Property and that the Improvements do not encroach upon any easement which has not been insured over by the Title Policy.
In the event that the foregoing conditions precedent have not been satisfied as of Closing, Buyer shall have the rights and remedies set forth in Section 9(b) of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Seller shall have the right to extend the Closing for up to twenty (20) days, as set forth in Section 10, in order to deliver to Buyer any of the items described in this Section 13.
14. Conditions Precedent to Seller’s Obligations. Seller’s obligation to deliver title to the Property shall be subject to compliance by Buyer with the following conditions precedent on and as of the date of Closing:
(a) Buyer shall deliver to Seller on the Closing Date the remainder of the Purchase Price, subject to adjustment of such amount pursuant to Section 2 hereof; and
(b) The representations and warranties of Buyer contained in this Agreement shall have been true when made and shall be true in all material respects at and as of the date of Closing as if such representations and warranties were made at and as of the Closing, and Buyer shall have performed and complied in all material respects with all covenants, agreements and conditions required by this Agreement to be performed or complied with by Buyer prior to or at the Closing.
15. Notices. Unless otherwise provided herein, all notices and other communications which may be or are required to be given or made by any party to the other in connection herewith shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been properly given and received on the date: (i) delivered by facsimile transmission or by electronic mail (e.g. email), (ii) delivered in person, (iii) deposited in the United States mail, registered or certified, return receipt requested, or (iv) deposited with a nationally recognized overnight courier, to the addresses set out in Section 1, or at such other addresses as specified by written notice delivered in accordance herewith. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller and Buyer agree that notice may be given on behalf of each party by the counsel for each party and notice by such counsel in accordance with this Section 15 shall constitute notice under this Agreement.
16. Seller Covenants. Seller agrees that it: (a) shall use good faith efforts to complete construction of the Improvements in a prompt and timely manner; (b) shall, subject to Section 7 hereof and subject to reasonable wear and tear, maintain the Property in the same (or better) condition as exists on the date hereof; and (c) shall not, without Buyer’s prior written consent, which, after the expiration of the First Due Diligence Period may be withheld in Buyer’s sole discretion: (i) amend the Lease in any material manner, nor enter into any new lease, license agreement or other occupancy agreement with respect to the
Property; (ii) consent to an assignment of the Lease or a sublease of the premises demised thereunder or a termination or surrender thereof; (iii) terminate the Lease nor release any guarantor of or security for the Lease unless required by the express terms of the Lease; and/or (iv) cause, permit or consent to an alteration of the premises demised thereunder (unless such consent is non-discretionary). Seller shall promptly inform Buyer in writing of any material event adversely affecting the ownership, use, occupancy or maintenance of the Property, whether insured or not.
17. Post-Closing Covenants. (a) For a time period of one (1) year after the date that constitutes completion of construction under the Lease for purposes of any Landlord Warranties or responsibilities with respect to repairs and maintenance, Seller shall be and remain responsible for completing any warranty work or curing any related defaults by the landlord under the Lease. Seller shall be able to satisfy this Section 17(a) by providing Buyer with an assignment of Seller’s warranty rights under the Construction Contract with its contractor (“Construction Contractor”) at Closing. In the event that Seller fails to comply with said cure and warranty obligations, Buyer may, after giving thirty (30) days written notice to Seller and Seller having failed to commence and diligently pursue to completion curative action within said time period, proceed to remedy such default on its own and shall have recourse against Seller for any expenses incurred thereby. Neither payment nor acceptance of the Purchase Price nor any provision in this Agreement will be deemed to constitute a waiver by Buyer of Seller’s responsibility under this Section. This Section, and all provisions contained herein, shall survive the Closing. The obligations of Seller pursuant to this Section shall continue beyond the one-year period specified herein as to warranty work or the curing of any defaults required by the landlord pursuant to the Lease if such defect or default is discovered during the one-year warranty period and is not cured by the Seller within that one-year warranty period. In other words, defects or defaults which arise or exist prior to the date of expiration of the one-year warranty period must be cured and corrected by the Seller even though the curing or corrective action may not be commenced or completed until after the date of expiration of the one-year warranty period.
(a)The parties shall deposit into escrow with Escrow Agent pursuant to an escrow agreement reasonably acceptable to Seller and Buyer (the “Escrow Agreement”) a portion of the Purchase Price equal to 125% of the estimated cost of completing the Punch-List items and/or necessary for the issuance of a final Certificate of Occupancy, which estimate shall be reasonably acceptable to Buyer (the “Construction Escrow Deposit”). After Closing, Seller shall complete all Punch-List items until accepted by Tenant, and the Escrow Agreement shall provide: (i) that Seller will have ninety (90) days to complete the Punch-List items to Tenant’s and Buyer's reasonable satisfaction; (ii) once so completed, the full amount of the Construction Escrow Deposit will be paid to Seller; and (iii) if Seller fails to complete all of the Punch-List items within said 90-day period, then Buyer shall have the right to complete the repair and receive payment of the cost thereof from the Construction Escrow Deposit and any unused portion of the Construction Escrow Deposit shall be paid to Seller.
18. Performance on Business Days. A "business day" is a day which is not a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday recognized by the Federal Government. Furthermore, if any date upon which or by which action is required under this Agreement is not a business day, then the date for such action shall be extended to the first day that is after such date and is a business day.
19. Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the sole and entire agreement among the parties hereto and no modification of this Agreement shall be binding unless in writing and signed by all parties hereto. No prior agreement or understanding pertaining to the subject matter hereof (including,
without limitation, any letter of intent executed prior to this Agreement) shall be valid or of any force or effect from and after the date hereof.
20. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement, or the application thereof to any person or circumstance, shall be invalid or unenforceable, at any time or to any extent, then the remainder of this Agreement, or the application of such provision to persons or circumstances other than those as to which it is invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby. Each provision of this Agreement shall be valid and enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law
21. No Representations or Warranties. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that it is relying solely on its own expertise and that of Buyer’s consultants and advisors, and will make all necessary and appropriate investigations on Buyer’s own behalf. In furtherance thereof and except as otherwise expressly provided for or stated in this Agreement, Buyer and Seller agree as follows:

(d) RELEASE. EFFECTIVE AS OF THE CLOSING, BUYER SHALL BE DEEMED TO HAVE RELEASED SELLER AND ALL SELLER RELATED PARTIES FROM ALL CLAIMS WHICH BUYER OR ANY AGENT, ADVISOR, REPRESENTATIVE, AFFILIATE, EMPLOYEE, DIRECTOR, OFFICER, PARTNER, MEMBER, SERVANT, SHAREHOLDER OR OTHER PERSON OR ENTITY ACTING ON BUYER’S BEHALF OR OTHERWISE RELATED TO OR AFFILIATED WITH BUYER (EACH, A “BUYER RELATED PARTY”) HAS OR MAY HAVE ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO ANY MATTER OR THING RELATED TO OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE PROPERTY, INCLUDING THE DOCUMENTS AND INFORMATION REFERRED TO HEREIN, ANY CONSTRUCTION DEFECTS, ERRORS OR OMISSIONS IN THE DESIGN OR CONSTRUCTION OF ALL OR ANY PORTION OF THE PROPERTY AND ANY ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS, AND BUYER SHALL NOT LOOK TO SELLER OR ANY SELLER RELATED PARTIES IN CONNECTION WITH THE FOREGOING FOR ANY REDRESS OR RELIEF.

22. Applicable Law. This Agreement shall be construed under the laws of the State or Commonwealth in which the Property is located, without giving effect to any state's conflict of laws principles.
23. Tax-Deferred Exchange. Buyer and Seller respectively acknowledge that the purchase and sale of the Property contemplated hereby may be part of a separate exchange (an “Exchange”) being made by each party pursuant to Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the regulations promulgated with respect thereto. In the event that either party (the “Exchanging Party”) desires to effectuate such an exchange, then the other party (the “Non-Exchanging Party”) agrees to cooperate fully with the Exchanging Party in order that the Exchanging Party may effectuate such an exchange; provided, however, that with respect to such Exchange (a) all additional costs, fees and expenses related thereto shall be the sole responsibility of, and borne by, the Exchanging Party; (b) the Non-Exchanging Party shall incur no additional liability as a result of such exchange; (c) the contemplated exchange shall not delay any of the time periods or other obligations of the Exchanging Party hereby, and without limiting the foregoing, the scheduled date for Closing shall not be delayed or adversely affected by reason of the Exchange; (d) the accomplishment of the Exchange shall not be a condition precedent or condition subsequent to the Exchanging Party's obligations under the Agreement; and (e) the Non-Exchanging Party shall not be required to hold title to any land other than the Property for purposes of the Exchange.

The Non-Exchanging Party shall not, by reason of the Exchange, (i) have its rights under this Agreement, including, without limitation, any representations, warranties and covenants made by the Exchanging Party in this Agreement (including but not limited to any warranties of title, which, if Seller is the Exchanging Party, shall remain warranties of Seller), or in any of the closing documents (including but not limited to any warranties of title, which, if Seller is the Exchanging Party, shall remain warranties of Seller) contemplated hereby, adversely affected or diminished in any manner, or (ii) be responsible for compliance with or deemed to have warranted to the Exchanging Party that the Exchange complies with Section 1031 of the Code.
24. Broker’s Commissions. Buyer and Seller each hereby represent that, except for the Broker listed herein, there are no other brokers involved or that have a right to proceeds in this transaction. Seller shall be responsible for payment of commissions to the Broker pursuant to a separate written agreement executed by Seller. Seller and Buyer each hereby agree to indemnify and hold the other harmless from all loss, cost, damage or expense (including reasonable attorneys' fees at both trial and appellate levels) incurred by the other as a result of any claim arising out of the acts of the indemnifying party (or others on its behalf) for a commission, finder's fee or similar compensation made by any broker, finder or any party who claims to have dealt with such party (except that Buyer shall have no obligations hereunder with respect to any claim by Broker). The representations, warranties and indemnity obligations contained in this section shall survive the Closing or the earlier termination of this Agreement.
25. Assignment. Buyer shall not assign its rights hereunder to an unrelated third-party without Seller’s prior written consent. Buyer may assign its rights under this Agreement, provided, however, that no such assignment shall relieve Buyer of any of its obligations hereunder until Closing is complete. Buyer is entering into this Agreement for and on behalf of a related special purpose entity titled ARC FEORTNY001, LLC (“Approved Assignee”) and intends to assign Approved Assignee its rights hereunder prior to Closing.
26. Attorneys’ Fees. In any action between Buyer and Seller as a result of failure to perform or a default under this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover from the other party, and the other party shall pay to the prevailing party, the prevailing party’s attorneys’ fees and disbursements and court costs incurred in such action.
27. Jury Trial Waiver. THE PARTIES KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVE THEIR RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, THE TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED UNDER THE AGREEMENT OR ANY COURSE OF DEALINGS OR ACTIONS BY THE PARTIES RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT. THIS WAIVER IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR SELLER TO EXECUTE THIS AGREEMENT AND SURVIVES CLOSING UNDER OR TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT.
28. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement, and shall become a binding agreement when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the parties and delivered to the other party. Signatures on this Agreement which are transmitted by electronically shall be valid for all purposes, however any party shall deliver an original signature on this Agreement to the other party upon request.
29. Anti-Terrorism. Neither Buyer or Seller, nor any of their affiliates, are in violation of any Anti-Terrorism Law (as hereinafter defined) or engages in or conspires to engage in any transaction that evades or avoids, or has the purpose of evading or avoiding, or attempts to violate, any of the prohibitions set forth in any Anti-Terrorism Law. “Anti-Terrorism Laws” shall mean any laws relating to terrorism or money laundering, including: Executive Order No. 13224; the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001, Public Law 107-56, as the same has been, or may hereafter be, renewed, extended, amended or replaced; the applicable laws comprising or implementing the Bank Secrecy Act; and the applicable laws administered by the United States Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Asset Control (as any of the foregoing may from time to time be amended, renewed, extended, or replaced).
30. Lease Expansion. In the event Tenant requests an expansion of the Premises (“Expansion”) and requests that the Landlord and Tenant negotiate the Lease and construction of the Expansion, Buyer shall provide Seller notice of such request as soon as reasonably practicable. Seller shall have the right to submit a proposal to provide assistance in the negotiation of the Lease amendment and construction of the Expansion, including the development services. In the event Seller elects to submit a proposal for such services, the parties will, in good faith, negotiate a development management agreement. In the event that the parties fail to negotiate such an agreement within a reasonably short period of time, neither party shall have any further obligation to the other. In the event the parties enter into such an agreement, Seller shall be entitled to a market rate development fee. The terms, provisions and
conditions of this section shall survive Closing hereunder provided Seller continues to provide Buyer with notice of any change of address from that set forth in Section 1l(i) and provided further that if Buyer or Approved Assignee or any successor sells the Property, the purchaser agrees to accept such condition.
