In addition to the foregoing, Seller may elect, by written notice to Buyer delivered within five (5) business days after receipt of Buyer's Objection Notice detailing the Material Issue(s), not to pay for any further assessment recommended in the Survey or Phase I Environmental Report or not to perform or pay for any remediation (a "Seller Election"), and Seller's failure to respond within such period shall be deemed a Seller Election.

If the cost of the remediation Seller declines to perform, as reasonably estimated by the environmental consultant that prepared the applicable report, exceeds Fifty Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($50,000.00), Seller may instead, in its sole discretion and by written notice delivered with or after its Seller Election, terminate this Agreement, in which event the Deposit shall be returned to Buyer, Seller shall pay Buyer's Costs within ten (10) business days, and neither party shall have any further obligation hereunder except those that expressly survive termination. Such termination shall not constitute a Seller default and shall not be subject to Buyer's election under clause (ii).

If Buyer proceeds to Closing following a Seller Election, the following conditions apply:

11


Exhibit 10.1

(1)    The condition Seller declined to remediate, as described in the applicable report (an "Identified Condition"), shall be described on Schedule 1.4 to the Leaseback, and Tenant's obligation to remediate the Identified Condition shall be limited as provided in Section 1.4 of the Leaseback. Except as so provided, nothing in this Section 4.4, including Buyer's election to proceed to Closing, shall limit Tenant's obligations under the Leaseback or Guarantor's obligations under the Guaranty with respect to any Hazardous Substances (as defined in the Leaseback), whether present on, under or about the Property before, on or after the Closing.

(2)    Seller shall cause Tenant to obtain, effective as of the Closing, the pollution legal liability insurance required by Section 1.4 of the Leaseback with respect to any environmental Identified Condition, and the issuance of such insurance shall be a condition to Buyer's obligation to close. If such insurance has not been obtained by the date of Closing (as the same may be extended under this Section 4.4), Buyer may terminate this Agreement as a Refundable Termination.

ARTICLE V

DEFAULT AND REMEDIES

5.1    Buyer Default.If Buyer fails to consummate the purchase of the Property in breach of this Agreement and such failure continues for five (5) business days after written notice from Seller, Seller, as its sole and exclusive remedy, may terminate this Agreement and receive the Deposit as liquidated damages, the parties agreeing that Seller's actual damages would be difficult to ascertain and that the Deposit is a reasonable estimate thereof. The foregoing shall not limit Buyer's indemnity and confidentiality obligations that expressly survive termination.

5.2    Seller Default.If Seller fails to consummate the sale of the Property and otherwise breaches this Agreement in any material respect, and such failure continues for five (5) business days after written notice from Buyer (provided no notice or cure period shall apply to a failure to close on the date of Closing), Buyer may terminate this Agreement as a Refundable Termination and receive reimbursement from Seller of Buyer's documented out-of-pocket costs incurred in connection with this transaction, including third-party report costs, lender fees and reasonable attorneys' fees, not to exceed Fifty Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($50,000.00).

ARTICLE VI

COVENANTS

6.1    Post Termination Covenants.In the event this Agreement is terminated, then, at the written request of Seller, Buyer will return or destroy all Seller Deliverables and other Confidential Information (as defined in Section 8.10) and, at Seller's further request, will deliver to Seller copies of all third-party surveys and reports that were paid for by Seller, without representation or warranty. Buyer may retain any reports obtained at Buyer’s own cost, subject to Section 8.10.

6.2    Buyer Investigations.Throughout the term of this Agreement, Buyer and its agents, lenders and consultants shall have the right to enter the Property upon reasonable prior notice and at times reasonably agreed to by Seller to conduct inspections, surveys, environmental assessments and property condition assessments.

Exhibit 10.1

entry. Buyer shall not perform any invasive or destructive testing at the Property without Seller's prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed if such testing is recommended in the Phase I Environmental Report. Buyer hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Seller and the Property harmless from and against any cost, expense, lien, claim or judgment for personal injury or property damage to the extent caused by the acts or omissions of Buyer or its agents or contractors in the course of such entry; provided, however, Buyer shall have no liability for the mere discovery of any pre-existing condition at the Property. This indemnification shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the Closing.

6.3    Seller Covenants.Between the Effective Date and the Closing, Seller shall (a) operate and maintain the Property in the ordinary course and in substantially its present condition, ordinary wear and tear and casualty excepted; (b) not enter into any lease, easement, covenant, restriction or other agreement affecting the Property, or voluntarily encumber the Property, without Buyer's prior written consent; (c) promptly notify Buyer of any event or circumstance that renders any representation of Seller untrue in any material respect; and (d) not market the Property for sale or solicit, negotiate or accept any offer for the sale or financing of the Property.

6.4    Section 1031 Exchange.Either party may structure the transaction contemplated hereby as part of a tax-deferred exchange under Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code, and the other party shall reasonably cooperate therewith, including by consenting to an assignment of this Agreement to a qualified intermediary, provided that the cooperating party incurs no additional cost, liability or delay and the exchanging party remains liable under this Agreement.

ARTICLE VII

CASUALTY; CONDEMNATION

7.1    Casualty.In the event of damage or destruction of all or any part of the Property prior to Closing such that the tenant would have the right under the Leaseback to terminate the Leaseback, or the cost to repair which is reasonably estimated to exceed $250,000.00, Buyer may, at its option, exercisable by written notice to Seller, either (i) terminate this Agreement as a Refundable Termination, whereupon, except as expressly provided herein, neither party will have any further obligations hereunder, or (ii) continue under this Agreement, whereupon Seller will assign to Buyer at Closing its interest in and to any insurance proceeds payable as a result of such damage or destruction (other than proceeds of business interruption insurance attributable to the period prior to Closing), less any portion first reimbursed to Seller for the actual costs of restoration work performed by Seller prior to Closing, and such proceeds shall be held and applied in accordance with the Leaseback. In the event of any lesser damage or destruction, Buyer shall have no right to terminate this Agreement on account thereof, but Seller shall assign such proceeds to Buyer at Closing as aforesaid, and the tenant shall restore the Property in accordance with the Leaseback.

7.2    Condemnation.In the event of the taking of all or any material part of the Property (not including the taking of strips less than ten (10) feet in width running along adjacent roadways that do not affect access, parking or the building) prior to Closing by eminent domain or condemnation, or the commencement of any such proceeding, Buyer may, at its option, exercisable by written notice to Seller, either (i) terminate this Agreement as a Refundable Termination, whereupon, except as expressly provided herein, neither party will have any further obligation hereunder, or (ii) continue under this Agreement, whereupon Seller will assign to Buyer at Closing its interest in and to any award payable as a result of such

13


Exhibit 10.1

taking, to be held and applied in accordance with the Leaseback. If such taking would entitle the tenant to terminate the Leaseback under Section 11.1 thereof, Seller may also terminate this Agreement by written notice to Buyer, in which event the Deposit shall be returned to Buyer as a Refundable Termination.
