5.
Closing Costs; Pro-Rations at Closing.
5.1.
Recording Fees and Other Fees. Seller shall pay (i) the cost of any title examination fees charged by Title Company to the extent related to ordering the Commitment and/or issuing the Title Policy (as defined below), (ii) the cost of the base premium for the Title Policy in the amount of the Purchase Price (but not premiums for any endorsements or any title insurance requirements of Buyer’s lender, if applicable), (iii) the cost to prepare and obtain all other documents necessary to perform Seller’s agreements and obligations under this Agreement, and (iv) the cost of preparing and recording all documents necessary to correct or remove defects in or encumbrances upon Seller’s title to the Property (to the extent Seller is obligated under this Agreement to do so or has committed in writing to remove such defects or encumbrances). Buyer shall pay (a) the cost of recording the Deed, (b) the cost of any premiums for endorsements to the Title Policy and any title insurance requirements of Buyer’s lender (if applicable),

(c) the cost of applying for and pursuing the Entitlements, (d) the cost of the Survey (as defined below), (e) the cost incurred by Buyer to conduct its inspections, tests, studies and the like (including the Tests), and

(f) the cost to prepare and obtain all other documents necessary to perform Buyer’s agreements and obligations under this Agreement. Each party shall pay its own attorneys’ fees and fifty percent of any escrow fees charged by Escrow Agent or Funding Agent. Any other costs and expenses which are not specifically allocated between Seller and Buyer in this Section 5.1 or elsewhere in this Agreement shall be allocated between Seller and Buyer according to local custom in connection with the sale of commercial real property in Dallas, Texas (as reasonably agreed by the parties).

5.2.
Prorations. Except as otherwise indicated by this Agreement, Funding Agent shall prorate between the parties (and the parties shall deposit funds therefor with Funding Agent or shall instruct Funding Agent to debit against sums held by Funding Agent owing to such party), as of 11:59 p.m. the day immediately prior to the Closing Date (such prior date, the “Adjustment Date”), all income and expenses with respect to the Property that are payable to or by the owner of the Property, including all matters set forth in this Section 5.2, so that the income and expense items with respect to the period up to and including the Adjustment Date shall be the responsibility of Seller and the income and expense items with respect to the period after the Adjustment Date shall be the responsibility of Buyer. Seller and Buyer shall prorate any items of costs or expenses not specified in this Article 5 in the manner that such items are customarily apportioned between sellers and buyers in connection with the sale of commercial real property in Dallas, Texas.
5.3.
Utilities. All charges, taxes and fees for utility services (including without limitation, as applicable: water, sewer, gas and electricity), shall be prorated on an accrual basis. Seller shall endeavor to obtain utility meter readings to a date not more than five (5) days before the Closing Date and the unfixed water rates and charges, sewer taxes and rents and gas and electricity charges, if any, based thereon for the intervening time shall be apportioned on the basis of such last readings. If such readings are not obtainable by the Closing Date, then, at the Closing, any water rates and charges, sewer taxes and rents and gas and electricity charges which are based on such readings shall be prorated based upon the per diem charges obtained by using the most recent period for which such readings shall then be available. Upon the taking of subsequent actual readings, the apportionment of such charges shall be recalculated and Seller or Buyer, as the case may be, promptly shall make any applicable payment to the other based upon such recalculations. In the event Seller has previously made any utility deposits for services at the Property, then Seller shall elect (with notice of such election provided to Buyer on or before five (5) days prior to Closing, failing which Seller shall be deemed to have elected option (ii) below), whether (i) to receive a credit for such amounts at Closing (to the extent the deposit is actually transferred to and for the benefit of Buyer, as confirmed in writing by the subject deposit holder and provided to Buyer on or before Closing) or (ii) to request a reimbursement of the deposit from the applicable utility provider.

5.4.
Taxes. Ad valorem taxes (“Taxes”) assessed against the Property for the current applicable calendar or fiscal year in which Closing occurs will be prorated on a calendar year or fiscal year basis, as applicable, as of the Adjustment Date, and will be based on the actual Taxes for the applicable current calendar or fiscal year. If the actual Taxes for the current calendar or fiscal year are unavailable, then such pro-ration will be based on one hundred percent (100%) the actual Taxes for the prior calendar or fiscal year, and Seller and Buyer shall recalculate such pro-ration within sixty (60) days following date on which the actual Taxes for the calendar or fiscal year in which the Closing occurs are determined (as a point of clarity, Seller is not in any way responsible for any incremental increase in Taxes to the extent resulting from any improvements constructed by or on behalf of Buyer at the Property following the Closing Date). Seller shall promptly provide Buyer with all relevant documentation relating to the Taxes (including any tax bills) whether received by Seller before or after Closing. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, for any tenant that, pursuant to its Lease (if any), makes payments to fund Taxes (whether annually, semi-annually or otherwise on less than a monthly basis), the portion of Taxes that such tenant is obligated to pay through such rent payments shall be excluded from the Tax proration between Seller and Buyer as contemplated above. Buyer and Seller shall prorate any payments made by such tenant for the tax year in which the Closing occurs, and Buyer shall collect any such payments that are payable following the Closing Date directly from the tenants as and when due and payable by such tenants. Seller expressly reserves (i) the right (but shall not have the obligation) to commence, prosecute and complete any and all contests and appeals that may be available with respect to Taxes which are allocable to any fiscal year occurring prior to the fiscal year in which the Closing Date occurs; and (ii) the right to receive any and all refunds and proceeds that may be payable as a result of any such contests or appeals of Taxes commenced under clause (i) above. If Seller commences any contest or appeal with respect to the fiscal year in which the Closing Date occurs, then, (x) if such contest or appeal is to be settled or resolved prior to the Closing Date, the proposed settlement or resolution shall be subject to Buyer’s prior approval, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed and (y) if such contest or appeal is continuing as of the Closing Date, Seller shall assign its rights under such contest or proceeding to Buyer at Closing and Buyer shall be permitted to settle or resolve the same following the Closing Date, subject to Seller’s prior approval, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Any tax refunds received by Buyer following the Closing Date which are allocable to the period prior to the Closing Date will be promptly paid by Buyer to Seller (net of applicable costs and expenses) and any tax refunds received by Seller following the Closing Date which are allocable to the period following the Closing Date will be promptly paid by Seller to Buyer (net of applicable costs and expenses).
5.5.
Service Contracts. With regard to Service Contracts to the extent assumed by Buyer at Closing in accordance with Section 11.2: (i) Seller shall be credited for sums that have been prepaid by Seller prior to the Adjustment Date under the Service Contracts if such prepaid amounts pertain to services for periods of time from and after the Adjustment Date, and, provided, that such prepayment amount is confirmed in writing provided to Buyer by the counterparty to the Service Contract or pursuant to other confirmation reasonably acceptable to Buyer; and (ii) Buyer shall be credited at Closing for any amounts that are due or accrued but unpaid as of the Adjustment Date and relate to a Service Contract and the period of time prior to the Adjustment Date.
5.6.
Leases. To the extent any Leases are in place on the Closing Date, the following provisions shall apply: Rents as and when collected (the term "rents" as used in this Agreement includes all payments due and payable by the tenants to the applicable landlord under the Leases) shall be prorated as of the Adjustment Date. At Closing, Seller shall credit to the account of Buyer the amount of any security deposits then held by Seller with respect to the Leases. As to any pass-through expense payments, escalation rent and/or percentage rent payable under the Leases, Seller shall (to the extent required by the Leases) bill all applicable tenants in the ordinary course, through the Closing Date. At or before Closing, Seller shall deliver to Buyer all material records used by Seller to calculate payment of such rents described in the immediately preceding sentence for the year of Closing (whether fiscal or calendar year), and the parties

shall allocate any monthly payments paid with respect to such rents in the same manner as Rent. Following the Closing, the parties shall promptly true-up with one another after the reconciliations with respect to such rents for the year of Closing (whether fiscal or calendar year) are completed by Buyer and Buyer has calculated the final amount of such rents payable for the year of Closing (whether fiscal or calendar year). Subject to the terms of the Leases, Buyer shall endeavor to complete such reconciliations as soon as reasonably practicable following the end of the year of Closing (whether fiscal or calendar year).

5.7.
Settlement Statement; Reprorations. At least five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall prepare a draft set of prorations for Buyer’s review. Seller and Buyer shall work together in good faith to approve said prorations so that the Funding Agent may then prepare (in accordance with the terms of this Agreement) and deliver to Seller and Buyer an initial closing statement for their respective review and approval (such statement, upon approval by Seller and Buyer, the “Settlement Statement”). Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else to the contrary, either Seller and/or Buyer may request separate closing statements based on the agreed upon set of prorations. No later than one hundred and twenty (120) days following the Closing Date (or such later date as may be applicable under Section 5.4 or Section 5.6 above but solely with respect to Taxes and the Leases, as applicable), Buyer shall prepare and present to Seller a recalculation of any and all amounts due or subject to proration under this Article 5 (taking into consideration any errors and changes necessary because of the lack of complete or accurate information as of the Closing Date) as well as supporting documentation for such recalculation. Subject to reasonable verification by Seller, the parties shall make the appropriate adjusting payments between them within sixty (60) days after delivery of any such recalculation. All matters set forth in this Article 5 shall survive Closing.
6.
Conveyance of Title. Seller shall convey fee simple title to the Real Property to Buyer by special warranty deed, subject only to the Permitted Exceptions (as defined in Section 8.5) (the “Deed”).
7.
Inspection Period and Entitlements Period.
7.1.
Due Diligence Materials; Inspection Period. Prior to the Effective Date, Seller has, to the extent related to the particular Property owned by the particular Seller in question, delivered to Buyer copies of the items set forth on Exhibit B attached hereto and made a part hereof (the “Initial Due Diligence Materials”), which Due Diligence Materials were delivered to Buyer by posting the same to a data room at the following web address: https://seritagegrowthproperties-my.sharepoint.com/:f:/g/personal/jmerrell_seritage_com/IgDahf3X3P6oQb9leF472jNPAZ3PvS-5WZYR9UKcQ1vmcC0?e=SzMien. In addition to the foregoing, Buyer may from time to time at any time prior to the Closing Date, reasonably request that Seller provide, to the extent related to the particular Property owned by the particular Seller in question, additional reasonable due diligence documents, materials, or information relating to such Property, and such Seller shall, within five (5) Business Days after receipt of any such request, deliver to Buyer copies of such requested items to the extent in such Seller's possession or reasonable control (collectively, to the extent provided by such Seller to Buyer, the Additional Due Diligence Materials and, together with the Initial Due Diligence Materials, collectively, the Due Diligence Materials”).

Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, Buyer acknowledges and agrees that all documentation and any information provided to Buyer by or on behalf of Seller or its agents or representatives (including the Due Diligence Materials) are provided as an accommodation only and solely as a convenience to Buyer, without

to the contrary, Seller shall not be required to deliver or otherwise make available to Buyer any proprietary materials, attorney/client materials, or other privileged or confidential materials.

7.2.
Access and Inspection. From the Effective Date and until the earlier of (i) the Closing or (ii) the sooner termination of this Agreement, Seller grants to Buyer, its employees, agents, representatives, and independent contractors, permission and license to conduct engineering, market, traffic, and economic feasibility studies of the Property and a physical inspection of the Property, including the right to enter upon the Property to collect information and to perform any tests, investigations, reports, studies, and inspections to the Property that Buyer deems necessary to make its determination as to the suitability of the Property for Buyer’s intended development and/or use, including any and all environmental, structural, geotechnical, soil, groundwater, topographical, geological, subsurface, and engineering tests and studies, site planning feasibility studies, surveys, and zoning analyses (all of the foregoing inspections, tests, studies and the like, collectively, “Tests”). Seller shall reasonably cooperate with Buyer in good faith during Buyer’s performance of the Tests (at no cost or expense to Seller). Buyer shall provide Seller with at least two (2) Business Days’ advance notice of any Test performed at the Property (which notice shall be provided to Eric Dinenberg and may be provided via email to said party). Seller may have a representative present during any Property access by or on behalf of Buyer (including as to any Tests made by or on behalf of Buyer on the Property).
7.2.1.
To the extent any Tests will be performed on any portion of the Property that is subject to a Lease (other than any temporary leases or licenses for use of vacant portions of the Property unless the licensee has the right to use such portion of the Property on the date when Buyer plans to perform such Test), access to such portions of the Property (including as to any such Tests) shall be subject to the applicable terms of the Leases (including the rights of the tenants/licensees/occupants thereunder) and shall not unreasonably interfere with the use of the Property (including any operations and activities thereon) by the tenants/licensees/occupants under any such Leases. Buyer shall not contact any tenants/licensees/occupants of the Property that is party to a Lease without Seller's prior written consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.
7.2.2.
No such Tests shall be invasive without the prior written consent of Seller, unless invasive testing (i.e., a Phase II ESA) is recommended under a Phase I ESA or related report. If Buyer has the right to conduct any invasive testing, the same shall be subject to reasonable and customary conditions provided by Seller, including, that Seller shall have reasonable approval over the scope and location of such invasive testing. As a point of clarity, a customary Phase I ESA, geotech and PCA are expressly permitted (subject to the other applicable terms and provisions hereof).
7.2.3.
All Property access (including as to any such Tests) shall be conducted in accordance with standards customarily employed by sophisticated investors in connection with the performance of due diligence review of commercial property in Dallas, Texas and in compliance with all applicable laws, codes and ordinances.
7.2.4.
Following any entry onto the Property by or on behalf of Buyer (including as to any such Tests), if Buyer’s performance of any such Tests or any other Property access by or on behalf of Buyer results in damage to any portion of the Property, Buyer shall promptly restore the Property (at Buyer’s sole cost) to a condition which is as near as possible to the condition that existed immediately prior to the applicable Test, reasonable wear and tear excepted (such obligation to survive any termination of this Agreement occurring prior to Closing for a period of two (2) years).
7.2.5.
If Buyer or Seller elects to terminate this Agreement in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement, and if requested by Seller, Buyer (at no cost to Buyer) shall promptly furnish to Seller copies of any reports received by Buyer relating to any Tests; provided, however,

7.2.7.
Insurance. As a condition precedent to Buyer or anyone acting on Buyer’s behalf entering the Property for any reason (including to perform the Tests), Buyer shall maintain or cause to be maintained, at Buyer’s sole cost and expense, and deliver to Seller reasonable evidence of, a policy of comprehensive general public liability and property damage insurance: (a) with a combined single limit of not less than $1,000,000 per occurrence/$2,000,000 general aggregate and $5,000,000 excess umbrella liability, (b) insuring Buyer, and including Seller (including any other designees reasonably requested by Seller, including any property manager and lender of Seller) as additional insureds.

7.3.
Entitlements Period.
7.3.1.
Subject to the other applicable terms and provisions of this Agreement, Buyer shall have the right to prepare and submit one or more applications to obtain the Entitlements and take all other actions as Buyer deems reasonably necessary or desirable in order to pursue and obtain the Entitlements. The period during which Buyer may apply for and pursue the Entitlements (such period, the “Entitlements Period”) shall commence upon the expiration of the Inspection Period and shall expire upon the earlier to occur of (i) January 28, 2028, and (ii) the date on which Buyer obtains the Entitlements (such earlier date, the “Entitlements Period Expiration Date”). Buyer shall pursue the Entitlements in good faith during the Entitlements Period, taking into account Buyer’s development plan for the Property, and Buyer shall have the right to determine the timing and sequencing of the Entitlement application process.
7.3.2.
For purposes of this Agreement, the Entitlements shall mean all of the following items necessary or desirable for Buyer’s intended development of the Land as a mixed-use development, which shall include a professional sports and entertainment arena or complex and may include, without limitation, parking, retail shopping, restaurants, hotels, office buildings, multifamily buildings, experiential entertainment and/or condominium buildings (collectively, the “Project”): (a) approval from the City of Dallas for an amendment or modification to the existing zoning regulations to permit the Project, (b) approval from all applicable governmental authorities for license(s) and/or an abandonment(s), (c) approval from the City of Dallas for a preliminary plat(s) (as a point of clarity, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Buyer may not file a final plat prior to Closing), (d) approval from the City of Dallas for a development and/or economic incentive agreement(s), (e) approval from all applicable governmental authorities for the modification, creation and/or implementation of a specialty district, including but not limited to a public improvement district or tax increment financing district, and

(f) any other approvals, permits or entitlements determined by Buyer to be reasonably necessary or desirable to obtain in connection with the Project. Entitlements shall be considered “obtained” by Buyer only after final approval from the relevant governmental authorities with respect to items (a) through (f) above has been received. Subject to the last sentence of this Section 7.3.2, Buyer shall have the right to submit the application for the Entitlements and request Entitlements in any form determined by Buyer, in Buyer’s sole discretion and Seller shall have no approval over any such applications or submissions. Buyer shall be solely responsible for payment of all costs and expenses incurred in connection with Buyer seeking and obtaining the Entitlements, including without limitation, all costs and expenses associated with defending any administrative or litigation challenges to the Entitlements. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else to the contrary, Buyer’s application(s) for the Entitlements shall not request, or otherwise result in, the diminishment or reduction of any of the uses that are legally permitted to be constructed on the Land as of the Effective Date or otherwise reduce any of Seller’s other existing zoning rights or add any obligations on the part of Seller (other than Seller’s obligation to cooperate with Buyer under Section 7.3.4 below), unless expressly approved by Seller in writing. The parties acknowledge that as part of the zoning of the Property as of the Effective Date, the streets that form a part of the Property (or will form a part of the development thereof) are controlled by the Streets Plan (Exhibit 887C) (the “Streets Plan”). As part of the process of applying for the Entitlements, Buyer shall have the right to amend the City’s Thoroughfare Plan in order to accommodate the Project; provided, that such amendments to the City’s Thoroughfare Plan requested by Buyer shall not terminate the Streets Plan or render the Streets Plan unenforceable as it relates to Seller’s zoning rights in effect with respect to the Property as of the Effective Date. Buyer shall not make any requests in connection with its application for the Entitlement(s) that will cause the Property to no longer be governed by the TIF District (as defined below).

7.3.3.
Buyer agrees to provide written status updates concerning the Entitlements to Seller at least once every calendar month (and otherwise reasonably update Seller as and when reasonably requested by Seller from time to time) and promptly following the achievement or delay of any significant milestones in the Entitlements processing until all of the Entitlements have been obtained

as provided in Section 7.3.2 above. Further, Buyer shall promptly notify Seller upon Buyer obtaining the Entitlements.

7.3.4.
Seller acknowledges and agrees that, upon written request from Buyer, Seller will provide prompt and reasonable cooperation to Buyer in Buyer’s efforts to obtain the Entitlements, which cooperation may include, but shall not be limited to, Seller’s execution and delivery of zoning applications, site plan applications, variance requests and/or special or conditional use permit applications; provided, that Seller shall not incur any additional cost, expense or liability as a result of providing any such cooperation to Buyer and Seller shall have the right to reasonably approve any particular forms that Seller is requested by Buyer to execute for purposes of confirming the accuracy thereof (but in no event shall this reasonable approval right be deemed to give Seller approval of the application for Entitlements generally (even if the document(s) required to be executed by Seller are being submitted as part of the collective application for the Entitlements), subject to the other applicable terms and provisions of this Section 7.3). For avoidance of doubt, but subject to the other applicable terms and provisions of this Section 7.3 (including the last sentence of Section 7.3.2), Seller and Buyer hereby acknowledge and confirm their intent that Seller not be entitled to approve or withhold approval for any Entitlements, including any applications or other submittals or documents by which Buyer seeks to obtain Entitlements.
7.3.5.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer shall have the right to terminate this Agreement at any time prior to 6:00 p.m. CST on the Entitlements Period Expiration Date for no reason or any reason at all (in Buyer’s sole discretion), by delivery of written notice to Seller prior to the applicable date and time set forth above and without payment of any termination fee; provided, that, for the avoidance of doubt, Seller shall be permitted to retain all Release Payments previously released or otherwise required to be released to Seller prior to such termination date by Funding Agent in accordance with Section 7.4. Upon delivery of any such termination notice, this Agreement shall automatically terminate and the parties shall have no further obligations or liabilities hereunder other than those that expressly survive a termination of this Agreement.
7.4.
Deposits.
7.4.1.
On or before 6:00 p.m. CST on the third (3rd) Business Day following the Effective Date, Buyer shall deliver to Funding Agent a deposit of $169,200 (the “First Deposit”). Within one (1) Business Day following Funding Agent’s receipt of the First Deposit, Funding Agent shall release the First Deposit to Seller in accordance with the wiring instructions provided to Funding Agent by Seller.
7.4.2.
If Buyer has not elected to terminate this Agreement on or before the expiration of the Inspection Period, then for each month of the Entitlements Period, Buyer shall be obligated to pay Seller a payment (each, a “Release Payment”), in the amount of: (i) with respect to the first month of the Entitlements Period through and including the sixth (6th) month of the Entitlements Period, $126,900 per month and (ii) for the seventh (7th) month of the Entitlements Period and each month thereafter until the month in which the Entitlements Period Expiration Date occurs, $274,950 per month. The Release Payments shall be funded to Funding Agent (to be held in escrow in accordance with the terms of this Agreement) as follows:
7.4.2.1.
If Buyer has not elected to terminate this Agreement on or before the expiration of the Inspection Period, then on or before June 30, 2026, Buyer shall deliver to Funding Agent a deposit in the amount equal to the total Release Payments owed for the first six (6) months of the Entitlements Period totaling $761,400 (the “Second Deposit”). On July 1, 2026, Funding Agent shall release $126,900 to Seller as payment for the Release Payment owed to Seller by Buyer for the first month of the Entitlements Period. Thereafter, on the first day of each subsequent month during the Entitlements

Period, Funding Agent shall release to Seller the applicable Release Payment from the Second Deposit in accordance with the wring instructions provided to Funding Agent by Seller, each in satisfaction of Buyer’s obligation to fund the Release Payment for such month in accordance with Section 7.4.2, unless prior to the first day of such month, Buyer has terminated this Agreement.

$1,649,700 (the “Third Deposit”). On January 1, 2027 and on the first day of each month of the Entitlements Period thereafter, Funding Agent shall continue to release to Seller the applicable Release Payment from the Third Deposit in accordance with the wiring instructions provided to Funding Agent by Seller, each in satisfaction of Buyer’s obligation to fund the Release Payment for such month in accordance with Section 7.4.2, unless prior to the first day of such month Buyer has terminated this Agreement.

7.4.3.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, (i) the First Deposit and all Release Payments shall be deemed to be earned by Seller upon Seller’s receipt of the same from Funding Agent (or the date Funding Agent is otherwise required to release the same to Seller in accordance with this Section 7.4, if earlier) and shall be non-refundable to Buyer, except upon a termination of this Agreement by Buyer resulting from a Seller Default to the extent expressly described in Section 17.2, and (ii) neither the First Deposit nor any Release Payments will be credited towards the Purchase Price, such that the First Deposit and all Release Payments shall be in addition to the Purchase Price.
7.4.4.
If the Closing occurs on or before the date on which the final portion of any Deposit has been released to Seller, then, that portion of the Deposit then held by Funding Agent shall be applied at Closing towards the Purchase Price, or, at Buyer’s option, refunded to Buyer. If this Agreement is terminated by Buyer in accordance with Section 7.3.5, Section 9.1, Section 13.3, Section 17.2 or any other express termination right of Buyer under this Agreement, then within two (2) Business Days following such termination, Funding Agent shall return to Buyer any portion of any Deposit then held by Funding Agent (excluding any portion of the Deposit that was required to be released to Seller prior to the date of termination in accordance with this Section 7.4) in accordance with wiring instructions provided by Buyer to Funding Agent.
7.4.5.
Seller shall have the right, together with Related Seller, to issue a joint instruction to Funding Agent to modify the allocation of the Deposit and any monthly Release Payments owed (and released to) Seller hereunder and the “Deposit” and any “Release Payments” (as such terms are defined in the Related Agreement) owed (and released to) Related Seller under the Related Agreement. Funding Agent shall comply with any such joint instruction regarding a reallocation of such Deposit, Release Payments, “Deposit” and “Release Payments” (as such terms are defined in the Related Agreement). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall Funding Agent be permitted to release to Seller and Related Seller, in the aggregate, in any month more than the total applicable Release Payment and “Release Payment” (as defined in the Related Agreement) owed to Seller and Related Seller,

respectively, under this Agreement and the Related Agreement (i.e., $600,000 in the aggregate for the first six (6) months of the Entitlement Period and $1,300,000 in the aggregate for each subsequent month of the Entitlement Period). For the avoidance of doubt, Buyer shall have no liability as a result of any such joint instruction (or whether Funding Agent complies or fails to comply), and Buyer’s obligations under this Section 7.4 shall be deemed satisfied with respect to each Deposit upon each date that Buyer makes each such required Deposit in accordance with this Section 7.4.

8.
Title Commitment; Survey; Title Defects
8.1.
Within ten (10) Business Days following the Effective Date (or as soon thereafter as the same is made available by the Title Company), Seller, at Seller’s expense, shall cause the Title Company to provide Buyer with a commitment for an owner’s policy of title insurance covering the Real Property (the “Commitment”), and copies of all instruments listed or referenced in the Commitment as exceptions or matters subject to requirements for the issuance of a title policy pursuant to the Commitment (collectively, the “Exception Documents”).
8.2.
Within thirty (30) days following the Effective Date (or as soon thereafter as the same is made available by the surveyor), Buyer, at Buyer’s expense, shall obtain a land title survey (the “Survey”) of the Property and the property being conveyed to Buyer pursuant to the Related Agreement (the “Related Agreement Property”), which Survey must (i) meet the Minimum Standard Detail Requirements (including items 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7(a), 7(b)(1), 7(c), 8, 9, 10, 11(b), 13, 14, 15 and 16 of Table “A” thereof) and the Accuracy Standards for ALTA/NSPS Land Title Surveys as adopted by the American Land Title Association, the National Society of Professional Surveyors, and the American Congress on Surveying and Mapping and in effect on the date of the Survey; (ii) locate and show each exception referred to in Schedule B of the Commitment that is susceptible of location and indicate its effect on the Property (and make note of those exceptions that cannot be located and the reasons therefor); (iii) include an overall acreage and legal description for the overall Property together with the Related Agreement Property, as well as a legal description for each portion of the Property owned by Seller and each Related Seller (as applicable); and (iv) name Seller, Related Seller and the Title Company as certified parties. Buyer shall promptly deliver the Survey to Seller and the Escrow Agent upon receipt thereof. Buyer agrees to order the Survey within five (5) business days of the Effective Date and provide Seller with reasonable evidence thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else to the contrary, Seller shall have the right to review a draft of the Survey in order to confirm the property lines/dimensions of the various lots that form a part of the Property and verify ownership between and amongst Seller and each Related Seller before the Survey is finalized; provided, however, that such right of review shall not constitute a right of approval by Seller and shall in no event limit Buyer’s ability to object to matters shown on the Survey in accordance with Sections 8.3 or 8.4 below.
8.3.
Buyer shall notify Seller of (i) any defects in or encumbrances upon Seller’s title to the Property (or any portion thereof) that are reflected in the Commitment and unacceptable to Buyer in Buyer’s sole discretion, and (ii) Buyer’s objections to matters shown by the Survey (collectively, Buyer’s Title Objections”) no later than thirty (30) days following Buyer’s receipt of the last of the Commitment, all Exception Documents and the Survey. Except with respect to Mandatory Cure Items, Seller may, but is not obligated to, remove, correct, and/or satisfy Buyer’s Title Objections prior to Closing. Seller shall notify Buyer within ten (10) Business Days following receipt of Buyer’s Title Objections as to whether Seller will remove, correct, and/or satisfy each of Buyer’s Title Objections in the manner indicated (if applicable) in Buyer’s Title Objections (“Seller’s Title Response”). If in Seller’s Title Response, Seller elects to cure Buyer’s Title Objections, (a) Seller shall cure the same on or prior to Closing and (b) if requested by Buyer, keep Buyer reasonably apprised of Seller’s progress toward removing, correcting, and/or satisfying the same (and the manner in which such will be removed, corrected, and/or satisfied, provided, that Buyer shall not be obligated to accept affirmative insurance over any Buyer’s Title Objection that Seller elects to cure

unless approved by Buyer (in Buyer’s sole discretion)). If, in Seller’s Title Response, Seller does not elect to cure Buyer’s Title Objections, or if Seller fails to timely deliver Seller’s Title Response, then in either event, Buyer may elect by written notice delivered to Seller prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period either (1) to proceed to Closing and consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and each applicable Buyer’s Title Objection shall become a Permitted Exception or (2) to terminate this Agreement, whereupon this Agreement shall automatically terminate and no party will have any rights, duties, or obligations hereunder, except those specifically stated herein to survive termination of this Agreement (in this regard, if Buyer fails to timely make a written election as provided above, Buyer will be deemed to have elected option (1) above). If Seller fails to timely deliver Seller’s Title Response, Seller shall be deemed to have elected not to cure any of the Buyer’s Title Objections, except with respect to Mandatory Cure Items. If, in Seller’s Title Response, Seller elects to cure Buyer’s Title Objections but the same are not cured on or before the Closing Date, then, the same shall constitute a Seller Default (subject to applicable notice and cure periods) but, if the cost of removal of the applicable Buyer’s Title Objection can be reasonably reduced to a monetary sum, then, instead of exercising the remedies set forth in Section 17.2, Buyer may, with Seller’s prior written consent, proceed to Closing and receive a credit against the Purchase Price in an amount equal to the amount required to remove such Buyer’s Title Objection. As an alternative to Buyer exercising the Purchase Price credit remedy above, Seller may elect to extend the Closing Date for a period of up to thirty (30) days in an effort to remove or resolve any such items, provided, that (i) Seller has commenced to cure the applicable item prior to the Closing Date and is diligently prosecuting the cure to completion during such extension period; and (ii) this extension option shall run concurrent with any other extension rights of Seller under this Agreement.

8.4.
In the event that an update or modification to the Commitment or Survey obtained following the delivery to Buyer of the prior version of the Commitment or (as applicable), the prior version of the Survey, discloses any new or modified title or survey matter (including a modification in the scope of exception, requirement or coverage) that was (i) not shown on the initial Commitment or Survey (or any other updates thereto previously delivered to Buyer), and (ii) not caused by or on behalf of Buyer, Buyer may deliver written notice to Seller of the same (“Supplemental Objections”) within five (5) Business Days of Buyer’s receipt of such updated Commitment or Survey, as applicable. Thereafter, the Supplemental Objections shall be treated in the same manner as the Buyer’s Title Objections, except that Seller’s Title Response must be provided within seven (7) Business Days of Seller’s receipt of the Supplemental Objections (failing which Seller shall be deemed to have elected not to cure any such Supplemental Objections upon the expiration of said 7-Business Day period) and Buyer’s election based on such Seller’s Title Response (or deemed response) must be made within seven (7) Business Days following the giving of Seller’s Title Response or the expiration of Seller’s 7-Business Day response period if Seller does not formally respond. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, the Closing Date shall be automatically extended to allow Seller and Buyer the full review and response times they are entitled to with respect to Supplemental Objections if the Closing Date is scheduled for a date that would occur prior to the expiration of Seller’s and Buyer’s 7-Business Day respond periods under this Section 8.4.
8.5.
For the purposes of this Agreement, the term Permitted Exceptions shall mean

(i) exceptions to title for the terms of the specific recorded instruments and other exceptions set forth on Schedule B of the Commitment, to which Buyer does not object within the timeframes prescribed in Sections 8.3 or 8.4 above as applicable or which become a Permitted Exception pursuant to the terms of Section 8.3, (ii) matters arising after the Effective Date that have been approved in writing by Buyer or, if applicable, that are otherwise caused by or on behalf of Buyer and (iii) Permitted Tenant Liens (as hereinafter defined). For the avoidance of doubt, Permitted Exceptions shall expressly exclude all Mandatory Cure Items.

8.6.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, without the necessity of objection or request by Buyer, on or prior to Closing, Seller shall be required to cure the following items:

(i) liens and encumbrances affecting the Property which secure the payment of indebtedness of an ascertainable amount (other than the lien for taxes not yet due and payable), (ii) any mortgage, security agreement, financing statement or other similar agreement that evidences or secures indebtedness, in each case encumbering the Property, any portion thereof or Seller’s interest in and to any of the Leases, (iii) any mechanic’s or materialman’s lien with respect to work performed by or on behalf of Seller, or by or on behalf of any tenant of the Property pursuant to a Lease (if any) to the extent such lien constitutes a monetary lien encumbering the Property, provided, that, if (a) such lien results from work performed by any tenant under a Lease or any other action taken by a tenant under a Lease, (b) such tenant is not in default under its Lease (beyond the giving of any required notice and the expiration of any applicable cure period) and such Lease is in full force and effect, and (c) such Lease obligates the applicable tenant to remove such lien within a specified time period, then such lien shall not constitute a Mandatory Cure Item (a lien satisfying the conditions set forth in clauses (a) through (c) above being referred to herein as, a “Permitted Tenant Lien”), (iv) federal, state and municipal tax liens, in each case of Seller or an affiliate of Seller to the extent such tax lien encumbers the Property or any portion thereof, and (v) any encumbrance affecting the Property or portion thereof that is created or recorded by, on behalf of, or at the direction of, Seller after the Effective Date that was not approved by Buyer as required by the terms of this Agreement (collectively, the “Mandatory Cure Items and each, a Mandatory Cure Item”). If any Mandatory Cure Items have not been removed as of the Closing Date, Buyer may elect (A) to consummate the transaction contemplated by this Agreement without regard to such Mandatory Cure Item, in which event the Purchase Price shall be reduced by the amount of all outstanding Mandatory Cure Items that are monetary liens, or (B) treat such Mandatory Cure Item as a Seller Default (subject to applicable notice and cure periods) and exercise the remedies set forth in Section 17.2. As an alternative to Buyer exercising the remedy set forth in subsection

(A) above, Seller may extend the Closing Date for a period of up to thirty (30) days in an effort to remove or resolve any such Mandatory Cure Items; provided, that (i) Seller has commenced to cure the applicable item prior to the Closing Date and is diligently prosecuting the cure to completion during such extension period; and (ii) this extension option shall run concurrent with any other extension rights of Seller under this Agreement.

9.
Risk of Condemnation or Casualty Pending Closing. All risk of loss to the Property remains upon Seller until the conclusion of the Closing (subject to Section 7.2, as applicable). If, prior to Closing, either (a) condemnation or eminent domain proceedings are commenced by any person or entity with the authority of eminent domain against the Property, or any part thereof, or if Seller receives written notice of any pending or threatened condemnation or eminent domain proceedings against the Property, or any part thereof (each, a Condemnation”); or (b) the Property suffers any damage by fire, flood, or other casualty (a “Casualty”) then, in either such event, Seller shall give Buyer prompt written notice thereof accompanied by reasonable supporting documentation, including without limitation, with respect to a Condemnation, all written information provided to Seller by the authority commencing or threatening the subject Condemnation.
9.1.
With respect to any Condemnation, within fifteen (15) Business Days after such notice and supporting information is received by Buyer (provided that the Closing Date shall be automatically extended to allow Buyer such full response time if there are less than fifteen (15) Business Days between the scheduled Closing Date and the date Buyer receives notice of such Condemnation), Buyer may: (i) accept the Property and proceed to Closing subject to the Condemnation; or (ii) terminate this Agreement whereupon the parties have no right, duty, or obligation hereunder, except those specifically stated herein to survive termination of this Agreement (in this regard, if Buyer fails to timely make a written election as provided above, Buyer will be deemed to have elected option (i) above). In the event Buyer elects to proceed to Closing pursuant to subpart (i) above, at Closing, all awards related to the subject Condemnation shall be paid to Buyer (to the extent previously received by Seller) or otherwise assigned to

Buyer, with no reduction in the Purchase Price, and at Closing, Seller will assign to Buyer all of Seller’s right, title, and interest in and to any such awards.

9.2.
With respect to any Casualty, Buyer shall remain obligated to proceed to Closing, with no reduction in the Purchase Price, and at Closing, all of Seller’s property insurance proceeds (if any) related to the subject Casualty (including any rent loss insurance proceeds (if any) related to the period after Closing) shall be paid to Buyer (to the extent previously received by Seller, but net of any actual out-of-pocket demolition and other costs and expenses reasonably incurred by Seller to the extent required under any Lease or to otherwise secure the Property in a commercially reasonable and safe manner taking into account the then current use of the applicable portion of the Property) or otherwise assigned to Buyer (subject to the requirements of the Leases, as applicable), Buyer shall receive a credit from Seller at Closing in the amount of all deductibles associated with any such insurance that have not yet been paid, and at Closing, Seller will assign to Buyer all of Seller’s right, title, and interest in and to any such insurance proceeds.
10.
Representations and Warranties of Seller; Disclaimers and Waivers. As of the Effective Date, Seller hereby represents as to the representations set forth in this Article 10. As of the Closing Date, all of such representations shall also be remade and be true and correct in all material respects as of the Closing Date (subject to permitted updates thereto pursuant to Section 13.1, as applicable); provided, that with respect to representations set forth in this Article 10 that are already subject to a materiality qualifier (i.e., Section 10.9, 10.10 or 10.11), such representations (subject to permitted updates thereto pursuant to Section 13.1, as applicable) shall be true and correct without taking into account the “in all material respects” qualifier set forth in this sentence).
10.1.
Organization; Authority. Seller is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the state of its organization.

Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else to the contrary:
11.1.1.1.
Seller is entitled to terminate or amend any existing Service Contract in its discretion, provided no such amendment shall extend the then-current term of the applicable Service Contract beyond the Closing Date unless the same is on commercially reasonable terms, is consistent with Seller’s ordinary course of business and is otherwise terminable upon no more than thirty

(30) days’ notice without penalty or fee;

11.1.1.2.
Seller is entitled to enter into any new Service Contract in its discretion consistent with Seller’s ordinary course of business, provided, that if the term of such new Service Contract may extend beyond the Closing Date, such Service Contract must be on commercially reasonable terms and be terminable upon no more than thirty (30) days’ notice without penalty or fee;

such license will extend past June 1, 2027 (taking into account all extensions or other options, even if the exercise thereof is at the discretion of one or both parties to such license), then such license shall be subject to Buyer’s prior written approval, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. For the avoidance of doubt, any license entered into in accordance with this Section 11.1.1.3 shall constitute a Lease for all purposes under this Agreement;

11.1.1.4.

Not modify the zoning for the Property without the prior written consent of Buyer, which may be given or withheld in Buyer’s sole discretion (subject to Section 7.3, as applicable) and not materially change the physical condition of the Property from the condition existing on the Effective Date without Buyer’s prior written consent, which may be given or withheld in Buyer’s sole discretion;

13.1.1.
Seller’s warranties and representations under this Agreement are true and correct as of the Effective Date and true and correct in all material respects as of the Closing Date; provided, that, if, as of the Closing Date, any of Seller’s representations or warranties is not true and correct in all material respects (a “Rep Breach”), then, such Rep Breach shall only constitute a failure of Buyer’s condition to Closing set forth in this Section 13.1.1 and shall not constitute a breach or Seller Default under this Agreement (any such Rep Breach, an “FC Rep Change”) if such Rep Breach (i) occurs by virtue of the passage of time and (ii) does not arise from the acts or omissions (where there is a duty to act) of Seller. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, as of the Closing Date, Seller modifies its representations and warranties under this Agreement to reflect (a) any state of facts approved or consented to by Buyer (in writing) during the term of this Agreement, (b) a Condemnation disclosed to Buyer in accordance with Section 9 (including any for which Buyer waived its termination right, or did not have a termination right, under Section 9.1),

(c) a tax contest proceeding commenced by Seller in the ordinary course of business, or (d) any action taken by Seller that is expressly permitted pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, none of the changes described in clauses (a) through (d) above shall constitute a Rep Breach;

13.1.2.
Seller is not in Seller Default hereunder beyond applicable notice and cure periods hereunder and Related Seller is not in “Seller Default” (as defined in the Related Agreement) beyond applicable notice and cure periods under the Related Agreement;
13.1.3.

Escrow Agent has confirmed in writing that it is unconditionally (except payment of the applicable premium to be paid at Closing), prepared to issue an owner’s title policy of insurance to Buyer in the amount of the Purchase Price, subject only to the Permitted Exceptions, and including such endorsements and expanded coverage (the costs of which are to be paid by Buyer) that the Escrow Agent confirmed during the Inspection Period was available for issuance in a final title policy based on the Commitment (the “Title Policy”); and
13.1.5.
Seller shall deliver to Buyer, at least five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, a duly executed and acknowledged estoppel certificate, in a form reasonably approved by Buyer, from each of the tenants or licensees of the Property that are party to a Lease that will be in effect on the Closing Date (collectively, the Tenant Estoppel Certificates”), dated no more than forty-five (45) days prior to the Closing Date and disclosing no information that conflicts (in any material and adverse respect) with the applicable Lease or any representation or warranty of Seller set forth in this Agreement. Buyer shall provide Seller with a completed draft of each Tenant Estoppel Certificate prior to Seller transmitting such draft to such tenant for Seller’s reasonable review and approval. Seller shall deliver to Buyer copies of the signed Tenant Estoppel Certificates, or any comments to the same received from the tenants, promptly following Seller’s receipt thereof.

Tenant Estoppel Certificates, Seller shall not in any way be deemed to be in breach or Seller Default under this Agreement but the same shall constitute a failure of condition under this Section 13.1.5. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, if Seller delivers to Buyer a fully executed Tenant Estoppel Certificate that complies with all requirements set forth in this Section 13.1.5 and which attaches a full copy of the applicable Lease to such fully executed Tenant Estoppel Certificate, then Seller shall not have liability for the representation of Seller set forth in the second sentence of Section

10.11 with respect to such Lease (and only such Lease).

13.1.6.
All conditions precedent to Buyer’s obligation to close under the Related Agreement are fully satisfied or have been waived by Buyer (in writing).
13.2.
Conditions Precedent to Seller’s Obligations. The obligations of Seller under this Agreement are subject to satisfaction or written waiver by Seller of each of the following conditions or requirements on or before the Closing Date: (i) Buyer’s warranties and representations under this Agreement are true and correct as of the Effective Date and true and correct in all material respects at Closing (subject to updates thereto which may be made in the ordinary course through no intentional fault on the part of Buyer, for which updates Buyer shall have no liability to Seller with respect thereto or otherwise be in default hereunder); in this regard, Buyer shall promptly notify Seller of any such updates upon Buyer being made aware thereof); (ii) Buyer is not in Buyer Default hereunder beyond applicable notice and cure periods; (iii) the obligations of Buyer contained in this Agreement have been performed in all material respects; and (iv) all conditions precedent to Related Seller’s obligation to close under the Related Agreement are fully satisfied or have been waived by Related Seller (in writing).
13.3.
Effect of Failure of Condition Precedent. So long as a party is not in Seller Default or Buyer Default, as applicable, hereunder beyond applicable notice and cure periods, if any condition to such party's obligation to proceed with the Closing hereunder has not been satisfied as of the Closing Date, then subject to any applicable notice and cure periods provided in Section 17.1 and Section 17.2, the party benefited by such condition shall, in its sole discretion, either (i) terminate this Agreement by delivering written notice to the other party on or before the Closing Date (as the Closing Date may be extended as provided below) or such earlier date as is provided herein, provided, that the Related Agreement must also be terminated simultaneously or (ii) elect to close notwithstanding the non-satisfaction of such condition, in which event of an election to close such party shall be deemed to have waived any such condition, provided, that an election to waive and proceed to closing shall only be permitted if the closing will simultaneously occur under the Related Agreement. If such party elects to terminate this Agreement, then this Agreement shall terminate, and neither party shall have any further obligations hereunder, other than those obligations that expressly survive the termination of this Agreement; provided that if such unsatisfied condition arises from a Seller Default or Buyer Default, as applicable, by non-terminating party, then subject to any applicable notice and cure periods provided in Section 17.1 and Section 17.2, the terminating party shall have the right to exercise any additional or alternative remedies available with respect to the subject Seller Default or Buyer Default, as applicable, to the extent specifically set forth in Section 17.1 or Section 17.2, as applicable.

The date of Closing will be the Closing Date set forth in the Key Terms Summary. TIME SHALL BE OF THE ESSENCE with respect to each party’s obligation to consummate the Closing on the Closing Date, as the same may be extended pursuant to any express provision of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, the obligations of Seller and Buyer to consummate the Closing under this Agreement are expressly conditioned upon the simultaneous consummation of the closing under the Related Agreement, and no party shall be obligated to consummate the Closing, and neither Escrow Agent nor Funding Agent shall release any documents or funds with respect

The parties acknowledge the difficulty of ascertaining Seller’s damages in such a circumstance and agree that the amount of the First Deposit and the Release Payments represents a reasonable and mutual attempt by Buyer and Seller to anticipate the consequence to Seller of the applicable Buyer Default. Upon delivery of any such termination notice, this Agreement shall automatically terminate and the parties shall have no further obligations or liabilities hereunder other than those that expressly survive a termination of this Agreement.

17.2.

In the event that an action for specific performance is commenced by Buyer under the Related Agreement in order to enforce the terms thereof, this Agreement shall remain in effect pending the resolution of such action for specific performance and,

(i) if the result of such action is that that closing under the Related Agreement will occur, then the Closing hereunder shall occur on the same date as under the Related Agreement, subject in all events to satisfaction of all conditions to Closing under this Agreement and the Related Agreement (unless waived by Buyer in writing) and (ii) if the result of such action is that the closing under the Related Agreement will not occur and the Related Agreement will instead be terminated under clause (b) of Section 17.2 of the Related Agreement, then this Agreement shall also terminate effective on the same date of termination of the Related Agreement in accordance with clause (b) of this Section 17.2.

17.3.
Cross-Default.
