- 8 -

67677228.12


(1)The Deposit shall be delivered to Seller at the Closing upon receipt by Escrow Agent of a statement executed by Seller and Purchaser authorizing the Deposit may be released; or
(2)The Deposit shall be delivered to Seller following receipt by Escrow Agent of written demand therefor from Seller stating that Purchaser has defaulted in the performance of its obligations under this Agreement or otherwise breached this Agreement in a manner that entitles Seller to the Deposit under the express terms of this Agreement, provided Purchaser shall not have given written notice of objection in accordance with the provisions set forth below; or
(3)The Deposit shall be delivered to Purchaser following receipt by Escrow Agent of written demand therefor from Purchaser stating that Seller has defaulted in the performance of its obligations under this Agreement or that this Agreement was terminated under circumstances entitling Purchaser to the return of the Deposit, and specifying the Section of this Agreement which entitles Purchaser to the return of the Deposit, in each case provided Seller shall not have given written notice of objection in accordance with the provisions set forth below; or
(4)The Deposit shall be delivered to Purchaser or Seller as directed by written instructions of both Seller and Purchaser.
(ii)Upon the receipt of a written demand for the Deposit by Seller or Purchaser, pursuant to subsection (2) or (3) above, Escrow Agent shall promptly give notice thereof (including a copy of such demand) to the other party.  The other party shall have the right to object to the delivery of the Deposit, by giving written notice of such objection to Escrow Agent at any time within ten (10) days after such party’s receipt of notice from Escrow Agent, but not thereafter.  Such notice shall set forth the basis (in reasonable detail) for objecting to the delivery of the Deposit.  Upon receipt of such notice of objection, Escrow Agent shall promptly give a copy of such notice to the party who filed the written demand.  If Escrow Agent shall have timely received such notice of objection, Escrow Agent shall continue to hold the Deposit until (x) Escrow Agent receives joint written notice from Seller and Purchaser directing the disbursement of the Deposit, in which case Escrow Agent shall then disburse the Deposit in accordance with said direction, or (y) litigation is commenced between Seller and Purchaser, in which case Escrow Agent shall deposit the Deposit with the clerk of the court in which said litigation is pending, or (z) Escrow Agent takes such affirmative steps as Escrow Agent may elect, at Escrow Agent’s option, in order to terminate Escrow Agent’s duties hereunder, including but not limited to depositing the Deposit in court and commencing an action for interpleader, the costs thereof to be borne by whichever of Seller or Purchaser is the losing party in such interpleader action, as determined by a final non-appealable order of such court.
(iii)Escrow Agent may rely and act upon any instrument or other writing reasonably believed by Escrow Agent to be genuine and purporting to be signed and presented by any person or persons purporting to have authority to act on behalf of Seller or Purchaser, as the case may be, and shall not be liable in connection with the performance of any duties imposed upon Escrow Agent by the provisions of this Agreement, except for

- 9 -

67677228.12


Escrow Agent’s own gross negligence, willful misconduct or default.  Escrow Agent shall have no duties or responsibilities except those set forth herein.  Escrow Agent shall not be bound by any modification, cancellation or rescission of this Agreement unless the same is in writing and signed by Purchaser and Seller, and, if Escrow Agent’s duties hereunder are affected, unless Escrow Agent shall have given prior written consent thereto.  Escrow Agent shall be reimbursed by Seller and Purchaser for any expenses (including reasonable legal fees and disbursements of outside counsel), including all of Escrow Agent’s fees and expenses with respect to any interpleader action incurred in connection with this Agreement, and such liability shall be joint and several; provided, however, that, as between Purchaser and Seller, the prevailing party in any dispute over the Deposit shall be entitled to reimbursement by the losing party of any such expenses paid to Escrow Agent.  In the event that Escrow Agent shall be uncertain as to Escrow Agent’s duties or rights hereunder, or shall receive instructions from Purchaser or Seller that, in Escrow Agent’s opinion, are in conflict with any of the provisions hereof, Escrow Agent shall be entitled to hold the Deposit and may decline to take any other action.  After delivery of the Deposit in accordance herewith, Escrow Agent shall have no further liability or obligation of any kind whatsoever.
(iv)Escrow Agent shall have the right at any time to resign upon ten (10) business days prior notice to Seller and Purchaser.  Seller and Purchaser shall jointly select a successor Escrow Agent and shall notify Escrow Agent of the name and address of such successor Escrow Agent within ten (10) business days after receipt of notice of Escrow Agent of its intent to resign.  If Escrow Agent has not received notice of the name and address of such successor Escrow Agent within such period, Escrow Agent shall have the right to select on behalf of Seller and Purchaser a bank or trust company licensed to do business in the State of New York and having a branch located in New York County to act as successor Escrow Agent hereunder.  At any time after the ten (10) business day period, Escrow Agent shall have the right to deliver the Deposit to any successor Escrow Agent selected hereunder, provided such successor Escrow Agent shall execute and deliver to Seller and Purchaser an assumption agreement whereby it assumes all of Escrow Agent’s obligations hereunder.  Upon the delivery of all such amounts and such assumption agreement, the successor Escrow Agent shall become the Escrow Agent for all purposes hereunder and shall have all of the rights and obligations of the Escrow Agent hereunder, and the resigning Escrow Agent shall have no further responsibilities or obligations hereunder.
(v)Seller and Purchaser each hereby agrees to severally (but not jointly) indemnify, defend and hold harmless Escrow Agent from and against [****]of any and all losses, costs, damages, expenses and reasonable attorneys’ fees actually incurred by Escrow Agent arising out of it acting as the Escrow Agent hereunder, other than to the extent arising from Escrow Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.
(vi)Seller’s taxpayer identification number is [****].  Purchaser’s taxpayer identification number is [****].  The provisions of this Section 4(b) shall survive the Closing or termination of this Agreement.

6.TITLE INSURANCE; LIENS.
(a)(i)The parties acknowledge that Purchaser has received and reviewed the following title report: that certain Certificate of Title, Commitment No. [****], having an effective date of June 25, 2025 (together with all instruments set forth therein, the “Report”), from First American Title Insurance Company, through Kensington Vanguard National Land Services of NY, LLC, as agent (the “Company”) for an owner’s policy of title insurance with respect to Purchaser’s acquisition of the Premises and (y) a survey prepared by [****] (the “Survey”).  At the Closing, Purchaser shall obtain title insurance from the Company with respect to Purchaser’s acquisition of the Property and any financing obtained in connection therewith.
(ii)Purchaser shall have no right to object to any exceptions or other matters disclosed in the Report or Survey except for the items listed on Schedule B attached hereto (collectively, the “Report Objections”).  All such exceptions and other matters disclosed in the Report and Survey (other than the Report Objections) shall be deemed Permitted Encumbrances.  
(iii)Purchaser shall direct the Company to deliver a copy of any update to the Report to Seller simultaneously with its delivery of the same to Purchaser.  If, prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall deliver any update to the Report which discloses additional liens, encumbrances or other title exceptions which were not disclosed by the Report or the Survey and which do not otherwise constitute Permitted Encumbrances hereunder (each, an “Update Exception”), then Purchaser shall have until the earlier of (A) five (5) business days after delivery of such update to Purchaser or its counsel or (B) the business day immediately preceding the Closing Date, time being of the essence (the

- 12 -

67677228.12


Update Objection Deadline”) to deliver written notice (which may be by email) to Seller objecting to any of the Update Exceptions (the “Update Objections”; the Update Objections and Report Objections are, collectively, the “Title Objections”).  If Purchaser fails to deliver such objection notice by the Update Objection Deadline, Purchaser shall be deemed to have waived its right to object to any Update Exceptions (and the same shall not constitute Title Objections, but shall instead be deemed Permitted Encumbrances).  If Purchaser shall deliver such objection notice by the Update Objection Deadline, any Update Exceptions which are not objected to in such notice shall not constitute Title Objections, but shall be Permitted Encumbrances.  
(iv)Purchaser shall not be entitled to object to, and shall be deemed to have approved, any liens, encumbrances or other title exceptions that will be extinguished upon the transfer of the Property (collectively, the “Non-Objectionable Encumbrances”); provided, however, that Purchaser shall not unreasonably withhold, condition or delay its consent to Seller’s proposed elimination of a Title Objection (and the same shall not constitute a Title Objection, but shall instead be deemed to be Permitted Encumbrances) against which the Company is willing to provide affirmative insurance (without additional cost to Purchaser or where Seller pays such cost for Purchaser) if such Title Objections are immaterial (e.g., de minimis water/sewer liens).  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if Seller is unable to eliminate the Title Objections by the Scheduled Closing Date, unless the same are waived by Purchaser without any abatement in the Purchase Price, Seller may, from time to time, upon at least two (2) business days’ prior notice to Purchaser (except with respect to matters first disclosed during the two (2) business day period prior to the Scheduled Closing Date, as to which matters notice may be given at any time through and including the Scheduled Closing Date) adjourn the Scheduled Closing Date (such date to which Seller adjourns the Scheduled Closing Date is the “Adjourned Closing Date”), for a period not to exceed thirty (30) days in the aggregate (together with any other adjournment rights of Seller hereunder) (the “Title Cure Period”), in order to attempt to eliminate such exceptions.
(b)If Seller is unable to eliminate any Title Objection within the Title Cure Period, or if Seller delivers written notice to Purchaser that Seller will not cure any Title Objection (a “Non-Cure Notice”), then, unless the same is waived by Purchaser, Purchaser may (i) accept the Property subject to such Title Objection without abatement of the Purchase Price, in which event (x) such Title Objection shall be deemed to be, for all purposes, a Permitted Encumbrance, (y) Purchaser shall close hereunder notwithstanding the existence of same, and (z) Seller shall have no obligations whatsoever after the Closing Date with respect to Seller’s failure to cause such Title Objection to be eliminated, or (ii) terminate this Agreement by notice (which may be by email) given to Seller within (A) ten (10) business days following expiration of the Title Cure Period, or (B) five (5) business days following Purchaser’s receipt of a Non-Cure Notice, in each case time being of the essence, in which event Purchaser shall be entitled to a return of the Deposit.  If Purchaser shall fail to deliver the termination notice described in clause (ii), within the applicable period described therein, time being of the essence, Purchaser shall be deemed to have made the election under clause (i).  Upon the timely giving of any termination notice under clause (ii), this Agreement shall terminate and neither party hereto shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder other than those which are expressly provided to survive the termination hereof.

- 13 -

67677228.12


(c)It is expressly understood that in no event shall Seller be required to bring any action or institute any proceeding, or to otherwise incur any costs or expenses in order to attempt to eliminate any Title Objections, or take any other actions to cure or remove any Title Objections, or to otherwise cause title in the Premises to be in accordance with the terms of this Agreement on the Closing Date.  Notwithstanding anything in this Section 6 to the contrary, Seller shall be required to remove, by payment, bonding or otherwise, (i) any mortgage or other lien granted by Seller which secures indebtedness for borrowed money that encumbers the Property, and (ii) (A) any judgment against Seller or other defect or Title Objection caused by Seller which can be satisfied and discharged with the payment of a specified amount of money, (B) federal, state and municipal tax liens, or (C) mechanics’ or materialmen’s liens against Seller or the Property constituting a lien thereon for work performed by, on behalf of, or at the direction of Seller (collectively, clause (ii), items (A) through (C), “Involuntary Liens”), that, in case of any Involuntary Liens described in this clause (ii)(A), (B) and (C) only, can be satisfied and discharged of record by payment of a readily ascertainable liquidated sum not exceeding $[****] (the “Involuntary Lien Cap”). If the expense of removing any Involuntary Liens is expected to exceed the Involuntary Lien Cap in the aggregate and Seller has elected not to expend such sums, then Purchaser may elect, in Purchaser’s sole and absolute discretion (as its sole exclusive remedy), to either: (a) waive such Involuntary Liens, in which event the Closing shall occur as if Involuntary Liens were Permitted Exceptions and at Closing, Purchaser shall receive a credit against the Purchase Price equal to the Involuntary Lien Cap, or (b) terminate this Agreement, in which event the Deposit shall be returned to Purchaser, Purchaser shall receive the Cost Reimbursement, and, except for the obligations of the parties under this Agreement which expressly survive termination of this Agreement, the parties shall have no further rights or obligations to one another hereunder.
(d) If Seller shall have adjourned the Scheduled Closing Date in order to cure Title Objections in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6, Seller shall, upon the cure thereof, promptly reschedule the Scheduled Closing Date, upon at least five (5) business days’ prior notice to Purchaser (the “New Closing Notice”); it being agreed, however, that if any Title Objections arise between the date the New Closing Notice is given and the rescheduled Scheduled Closing Date, Seller may again adjourn the Closing for a reasonable period or periods, in order to attempt to cause such exceptions to be eliminated; provided, however, that Seller shall not be entitled to adjourn the new Scheduled Closing Date pursuant to this Section 6 for a period or periods in excess of thirty (30) days in the aggregate (together with any other adjournment rights of Seller hereunder).  
(e)Purchaser agrees to purchase the Premises subject to any and all notes or notices of violations of law, or municipal ordinances, orders, designations, or requirements (including Environmental Laws (as hereinafter defined)) whatsoever noted in or issued by any federal, state, municipal or other governmental department, agency or bureau or any other governmental authority having jurisdiction over the Premises (collectively, “Violations”), or any condition or state of repair or disrepair or other matter or thing, whether or not noted, which, if noted, would result in a Violation being placed on the Premises, subject to Seller’s obligation to pay (or at Seller’s option, credit to Purchaser at the Closing) any monetary fines and penalties associated therewith in a monetary amount which can be ascertained as of the Closing Date; provided, that, such payment obligation shall be limited to only Violations caused or permitted by Seller or Seller’s employees, contractors or agents (exclusive or any Violations caused by Purchaser or Purchaser’s employees, consultants, contractors or agents).  Seller shall have no duty to remove or comply with or repair

- 14 -

67677228.12


any condition, matter or thing whether or not noted, which, if noted, would result in a violation being placed on the Premises.  Seller shall have no duty to remove or comply with or repair any of the aforementioned Violations, or other conditions, and Purchaser shall accept the Premises subject to all such Violations, the existence of any conditions at the Premises which would give rise to such Violations, if any, and any governmental claims arising from the existence of such Violations, in each case without any abatement of or credit against the Purchase Price.
(f)If the Company shall be unwilling to remove any Title Objections which another major national title insurance company selected by Seller (either directly or through an agent) would be willing to remove without any attendant payment or indemnification not offered to the Company, then Seller shall have the right to substitute such major national title insurance company for the Company, provided that if Purchaser elects not to use such major national title insurance company, such Title Objections which such major national title insurance company would be willing to remove shall not constitute Title Objections and shall be deemed Permitted Encumbrances.
7.APPORTIONMENTS.
(a)The following shall be apportioned between Seller and Purchaser as of 11:59 p.m. on the day immediately preceding the Closing Date (the “Apportionment Date”) on the basis of the actual number of days of the month which shall have elapsed as of the Closing Date and based upon the actual number of days in the month and a 365 day year with Purchaser being deemed to be the owner of the Premises during the entire day of the Closing Date and the net amount thereof under this Section 7 shall be added to (if such net amount is in Seller’s favor) or deducted from (if such net amount is in Purchaser’s favor) the Purchase Price balance payable at Closing:
(i)real estate taxes, sewer rents and taxes, water rates and charges, vault charges and taxes, business improvement district taxes and assessments and any other governmental taxes, charges or assessments levied or assessed against the Premises (collectively, “Property Taxes”), on the basis of the respective periods for which each is assessed or imposed, to be apportioned in accordance with Section 7(b);
(ii)prepaid fees for Permits and Licenses assigned to Purchaser at the Closing;
(iii)any amounts prepaid or payable by the owner of all or a portion of the Property under the Assumed Contracts to be assumed by Purchaser at Closing pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, if any;
(iv)all other operating expenses, if any, with respect to the Property; and
(v)such other items as are customarily apportioned in real estate closings of commercial properties in the City of New York, State of New York.
(b)Property Taxes shall be apportioned on the basis of the fiscal period for which assessed.  If the Closing Date shall occur before an assessment is made or a tax rate is fixed for the tax period in which the Closing Date occurs, the apportionment of such Property Taxes based thereon shall be made at the Closing Date by applying the tax rate for the preceding year to the latest assessed valuation, but, as part of the Final Closing Statement, the apportionment thereof

- 15 -

67677228.12


shall be recalculated.  If as of the Closing Date the Premises or any portion thereof shall be affected by any special or general assessments which are or may become payable in installments of which the first installment is then a lien and has become payable, Seller shall pay the unpaid installments of such assessments which are due prior to the Closing Date and Purchaser shall pay the installments which are due on or after the Closing Date. In no event shall Seller be charged with or be responsible for any increase in the Property Taxes resulting from the sale of the Premises contemplated by this Agreement any change in use or improvement of the Premises on or after the Closing Date, or any improvements made or leases entered into on or after the Closing Date.
(c)If there are water meters at the Premises, the unfixed water rates and charges and sewer rents and taxes covered by meters, if any, shall be apportioned (i) on the basis of an actual reading done within thirty (30) days prior to the Apportionment Date, or (ii) if such reading has not been made, on the basis of the last available reading.  If the apportionment is not based on an actual current reading, then upon the taking of a subsequent actual reading, the parties shall, within ten (10) business days following notice of the determination of such actual reading, readjust such apportionment and Seller shall deliver to Purchaser or Purchaser shall deliver to Seller, as the case may be, the amount determined to be due upon such readjustment.
(d)Charges for all electricity, steam, gas and other utility services (collectively, “Utilities”) shall be billed to Seller’s account up to the Apportionment Date and, from and after the Apportionment Date, all Utilities shall be billed to Purchaser’s account.  If for any reason such changeover in billing is not practicable as of the Closing Date as to any Utility, such Utility shall be apportioned on the basis of actual current readings or, if such readings have not been made, on the basis of the most recent bills that are available.  If any apportionment is not based on an actual current reading, then upon the taking of a subsequent actual reading, the parties shall, within ten (10) business days following notice of the determination of such actual reading, readjust such apportionment and Seller shall promptly deliver to Purchaser, or Purchaser shall promptly deliver to Seller, as the case may be, the amount determined to be due upon such adjustment.
(e)At or prior to the Closing, Seller and Purchaser and/or their respective agents or designees will jointly agree upon a preliminary closing statement (the “Preliminary Closing Statement”) which will show the net amount due either to Seller or to Purchaser as the result of the adjustments and prorations provided for in this Agreement, and such net due amount will be added to or subtracted from the cash balance of the Purchase Price to be paid to Seller at the Closing pursuant to Section 4, as applicable.  Not later than sixty (60) days after the Closing Date, Seller and Purchaser will jointly prepare a final closing statement reasonably satisfactory to Seller and Purchaser in form and substance (the “Final Closing Statement”) setting forth the final determination of the adjustments and prorations provided for herein and setting forth any items which are not capable of being determined at such time (and the manner in which such items shall be determined and paid).  The net amount due Seller or Purchaser, if any, by reason of adjustments to the Preliminary Closing Statement as shown in the Final Closing Statement, shall be paid in cash by the party obligated therefor within five (5) business days following that party’s receipt of the approved Final Closing Statement.  The adjustments, prorations and determinations agreed to by Seller and Purchaser in the Final Closing Statement shall be conclusive and binding on the parties hereto except for any items which are not capable of being determined at the time the Final Closing Statement is agreed to by Seller and Purchaser, which items shall be determined and paid in the manner set forth in the Final Closing Statement and except for other amounts payable

- 16 -

67677228.12


hereunder pursuant to provisions which survive the Closing.  Prior to and following the Closing Date, each party shall provide the other with such information as the other shall reasonably request (including, without limitation, access to the books, records, files, ledgers, information and data with respect to the Property during normal business hours upon reasonable advance notice) in order to make the preliminary and final adjustments and prorations provided for herein.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, each of Seller and Purchaser acknowledge and agree that the sixty (60) day limitation set forth in this Section 7(e) shall not, and is not intended to, limit any obligations hereunder which are expressly provided in this Agreement to survive the Closing, including, without limitation, the provisions of Article 15 hereof.
(f)If any payment to be made after Closing under this Section 77 shall not be paid when due hereunder, the same shall bear interest (which shall be paid together with the applicable payment hereunder) from the date due until so paid at a rate per annum equal to the Prime Rate (as such rate may vary from time to time) as reported in The Wall Street Journal plus 5% (the “Default Rate”).  To the extent a payment provision in this Section 7 does not specify a period for payment, then for purposes hereof such payment shall be due within five (5) business days of the date such payment obligation is triggered.
(g)The provisions of this Section 7 shall survive the Closing.
8.PROPERTY NOT INCLUDED IN SALE.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, it is expressly agreed by the parties hereto that, to the extent any of the same exist, any fixtures, furniture, furnishings, equipment or other personal property owned or leased by any contractor, employee or other such third party at or providing services to the Land shall not be included in the Property to be sold to Purchaser hereunder.  

9.COVENANTS OF SELLER AND PURCHASER.

- 19 -

67677228.12


(ii)Performance of Obligations.  Seller shall have executed, acknowledged (if applicable) and/or delivered all documents required to be executed, acknowledged (if applicable) and/or delivered by Seller hereunder on the Closing Date and Seller shall in all material respects have performed all other obligations required to be performed by Seller under this Agreement on or prior to the Closing Date.

The Company is committed to issue to Purchaser a Title Policy for the Premises, with policy coverage in the amount of the Purchase Price, insuring Purchaser as owner of fee title to the Property, subject only to the Permitted Encumbrances and Purchaser’s payment of any premium owed to the Title Company and satisfaction of any other requirements of the Company applicable to Purchaser.
(iv)Contracts. All Contracts other than the Assumed Contracts and contracts that would not be binding upon Purchaser after the Closing shall have been terminated or Seller shall have provided notice of termination to the counterparty thereunder, provided that if any such Contracts (other than Assumed Contracts) cannot be terminated as of the Closing Date, Seller shall remain solely liable for any liability relating thereto from and after Closing (which obligation shall survive Closing hereunder).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall cause that certain Exclusive Leasing and Marketing Agreement dated January 31, 2022, between [****], to be terminated as of the Closing Date, and Seller shall pay at Closing any termination fee required thereunder (or shall provide to Purchaser reasonable evidence of payment of such termination fee, if paid prior to Closing).
(v)Restrictions.

(vii)AKRF Certification. Seller shall have delivered to Purchaser a certification in from AKRF, Inc. substantially in the form of Exhibit 6 attached hereto; provided that if Seller is unable to deliver such certification, then this condition shall be satisfied if Seller provides a substantially similar certification executed by Seller (which shall be subject to all limitations on liability set forth in Sections 11(c) and 20(c) hereof, including, without limitation, the Maximum Liability Amount).

- 20 -

67677228.12


failure shall constitute a default hereunder and Section 20(a) shall govern.  If Seller is unable to timely satisfy the conditions precedent to Purchaser’s obligation to effect the Closing, then, (i) Seller may, if it so elects and without any abatement in the Purchase Price, adjourn the Scheduled Closing Date for a period or periods not to exceed thirty (30) days in the aggregate (together with any other adjournment rights of Seller hereunder) and (ii) if, after any such extension, the conditions precedent to Purchaser’s obligation to effect the Closing continue not to be satisfied (and Purchaser has not waived the same in writing) or Seller does not elect such extension and, in either case, such failure of condition precedent is not the result of Seller’s default hereunder, then Seller or Purchaser shall be entitled to terminate this Agreement by notice thereof to the other party (provided, that if such failure of condition precedent is the result of Seller’s default hereunder, then Section 20(b) shall govern).  If this Agreement is so terminated other than by reason of Purchaser’s default, then Purchaser shall be entitled to receive the Deposit (and all accrued interest thereon) and neither party shall have any further obligations hereunder, except those expressly stated to survive the termination hereof.  For the avoidance of doubt, the parties acknowledge that any failure of Seller to timely satisfy the conditions precedent to Purchaser’s obligations to effect the Closing, which failure results from an act or omission of a third party shall not be deemed a default by Seller hereunder, and Purchaser’s sole remedy by reason thereof shall be to terminate this Agreement in accordance with clause (ii) above and to receive the Deposit in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this Section 10(d).
11.CONDITION OF THE PROPERTY; REPRESENTATIONS.
(a)PURCHASER HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGES THAT, EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT AND THE DOCUMENTS TO BE EXECUTED AND DELIVERED AT CLOSING, NEITHER SELLER NOR ANY OTHER SELLER RELATED PARTY, NOR ANY OTHER PERSON ACTING ON BEHALF OF SELLER, NOR ANY PERSON OR ENTITY WHICH PREPARED OR PROVIDED ANY OF THE MATERIALS REVIEWED BY PURCHASER IN CONDUCTING ITS DUE DILIGENCE, NOR ANY SUCCESSOR OR ASSIGN OF ANY OF THE FOREGOING PARTIES, HAS MADE OR SHALL BE DEEMED TO HAVE MADE ANY ORAL OR WRITTEN REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, BY OPERATION OF LAW OR OTHERWISE (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, WARRANTIES OF HABITABILITY, MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE), WITH RESPECT TO THE PROPERTY, THE PERMITTED USE OF THE PROPERTY OR THE ZONING AND OTHER LAWS, REGULATIONS AND RULES APPLICABLE THERETO OR THE COMPLIANCE BY THE PROPERTY THEREWITH, THE REVENUES AND EXPENSES GENERATED BY OR ASSOCIATED WITH THE PROPERTY, OR OTHERWISE RELATING TO THE PROPERTY OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREIN.  PURCHASER FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT AND THE DOCUMENTS TO BE EXECUTED AND DELIVERED AT CLOSING, ALL MATERIALS WHICH HAVE BEEN PROVIDED BY ANY OF THE SELLER RELATED PARTIES HAVE BEEN PROVIDED WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY OR REPRESENTATION, EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED AS TO THEIR CONTENT, SUITABILITY FOR ANY PURPOSE, ACCURACY, TRUTHFULNESS OR COMPLETENESS AND PURCHASER SHALL NOT HAVE ANY RECOURSE AGAINST SELLER OR ANY OF THE OTHER SELLER RELATED PARTIES IN THE EVENT OF ANY ERRORS THEREIN OR OMISSIONS THEREFROM.  PURCHASER IS ACQUIRING THE PROPERTY BASED

election (the “First Extension Notice”) to Seller and Escrow Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. New York City local time on September 23, 2025, (ii) delivering an extension deposit in the amount of Five Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($500,000.00) (the “First Extension Deposit”) to Escrow Agent within one (1) Business Day after its delivery of the First Extension Notice, which First Extension Deposit shall become a part of the Deposit in all respects and shall be non-refundable to Purchaser except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, and (iii) upon delivery of the First Extension Notice, the Purchase Price shall be increased in the amount of Five Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($500,000.00); and (2) provided that Purchaser is not then in material default under this Agreement and has extended the Closing in accordance with the First Extension Notice described above, Purchaser shall have the one-time right to elect, in its sole and absolute discretion, to extend the Scheduled Closing Date until December 15, 2025, TIME BEING OF THE ESSENCE, by (i) delivering written notice (which may be by email) of such election (the “Second Extension Notice”) to Seller and Escrow Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. New York City local time on October 23, 2025, (ii) delivering an extension deposit in the amount of One Million and No/100 Dollars ($1,000,000.00) (the “Second Extension Deposit”) to Escrow Agent within one (1) Business Day after its delivery of the Second Extension Notice, which Second Extension Deposit shall become a part of the Deposit in all respects and shall be non-refundable to Purchaser except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, and (iii) upon delivery of the Second Extension Notice, the Purchase Price shall be increased in the additional amount of One Million Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($1,000,000.00).

Any Notice so sent by certified or registered mail, national overnight delivery service or personal delivery shall be deemed given on the date of receipt or refusal as indicated on the return receipt, or the receipt of the national overnight delivery service or personal delivery service.  A Notice may be given either by a party or by such party’s attorney.  Seller or Purchaser may designate, by not less than five (5) business days’ notice given to the others in accordance with the terms of this Section 19, additional or substituted parties to whom Notices should be sent hereunder.

20.DEFAULT BY PURCHASER OR SELLER.
(a)If Purchaser shall (x) default in the payment of the remaining portion of the Purchase Price on the Closing Date or (y) fail to deliver on the Closing Date any item required to be delivered by Purchaser pursuant to Section 17(b) (and such failure causes Closing not to occur on the Closing Date), or (ii) Purchaser shall breach this Agreement in any other material respect and such breach jeopardizes, impairs or alters the existing entitlements and/or governmental approvals for the Property, Seller’s sole remedy by reason thereof shall be to terminate this Agreement and, upon such termination, Seller shall be entitled to retain the Deposit as liquidated damages for Purchaser’s default hereunder, it being agreed that the damages by reason of Purchaser’s default are difficult, if not impossible, to ascertain, and thereafter Purchaser and Seller shall have no further rights or obligations under this Agreement except for those that are expressly provided in this Agreement to survive the termination hereof.  If Seller terminates this Agreement pursuant to a right given to it hereunder and, unless pursuing Purchaser’s rights pursuant to Section 20(b) below, Purchaser takes any action which interferes with Seller’s ability to sell, exchange, transfer, lease, dispose of or finance all or any portion of the Property (including, without limitation, the filing of any lis pendens or other form of attachment against any portion of the Property), then Purchaser (and any permitted assignee of Purchaser’s interest hereunder) shall be jointly and severally liable for all out-of-pocket loss, cost, damage, liability or expense (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, court costs and disbursements but excluding consequential, incidental, indirect, punitive, special or exemplary damages, or for lost profits, unrealized expectations or other similar claims damages) incurred by Seller by reason of such action to contest by Purchaser.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the above liquidated damages shall be deemed to reduce, waive or limit in any respect the additional obligations of Purchaser to indemnify Seller as provided in this Agreement.
(b)If (i) Seller shall default in any of its obligations to be performed on the Closing Date or (ii) Seller shall default in the performance of any of its material obligations to be performed prior to the Closing Date and, with respect to any default under this clause (ii) only, such default shall continue for five (5) business days after notice to Seller, Purchaser as its sole remedy by reason thereof (in lieu of prosecuting an action for damages or proceeding with any other legal or equitable course of conduct, the right to bring such actions or proceedings being expressly and voluntarily waived by Purchaser following and upon advice of its counsel) shall have the right subject to the other provisions of this Section 20(b) (A) to seek to obtain specific performance of Seller’s obligations hereunder, provided that any action for specific performance shall be commenced within thirty (30) days after the Scheduled Closing Date, and if Purchaser prevails thereunder, Seller shall reimburse Purchaser for all reasonable legal fees, court costs and all other reasonable costs of such action or (B) to terminate this Agreement and receive a return of the Deposit, it being understood that if Purchaser fails to commence an action for specific performance

- 37 -

67677228.12


within thirty (30) days after the Scheduled Closing Date, Purchaser's sole remedy shall be to receive a return of the Deposit.  If Purchaser elects to terminate the Agreement pursuant to clause (B) above, upon such return and delivery of the Deposit, this Agreement shall terminate and neither party hereto shall have any further obligations hereunder except for those that are expressly provided in this Agreement to survive the termination hereof.  If, however, (i) the equitable remedy of specific performance is not available or if (ii) Seller shall have intentionally defaulted, made a willful misrepresentation or otherwise willfully refuses to close (including, without limitation, by refusing to resolve any Title Objection which Seller is required to satisfy), and Purchaser is then prepared to close in accordance with this Agreement, then in addition to the immediate return of the Deposit, Purchaser shall be entitled the actual reasonable out of pocket expenses incurred by Purchaser and paid (A) to Purchaser’s attorneys in connection with the negotiation of this Agreement and (B) to unrelated and unaffiliated third party consultants in connection with the performance of examinations, inspections and/or investigations, (C) the costs and fees associated with any loan that Purchaser would for the acquisition of the Property and (D) the cost of updating title and survey, as well as the cost of departmental searches; provided, however, that Seller’s obligation to pay Purchaser any amounts described in this sentence (including the foregoing clauses (A) through (D)) shall not exceed [****], in the aggregate (such reimbursement, the “Cost Reimbursement”). If specific performance is not available as a remedy hereunder because Seller has sold or contracted to sell the Property to a third party in breach of this Agreement, then, upon termination of this Agreement by Purchaser, in addition to receiving the immediate return of the Deposit, anything in the Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, Purchaser shall have the right to make a claim with for other damages; provided, that such other damages shall not exceed, in the aggregate, an amount equal to the actual profit realized by Seller in selling the Property to a third party in violation of this Agreement (i.e., the difference, if any, between the net Purchase Price set forth in this Agreement and the net purchase price received by Seller in such third party sale).
(c)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, (i) Seller’s aggregate liability for breach or default of any covenant, agreement, indemnity, representation, warranty, or other obligation contained in this Agreement or in any document executed by Seller pursuant to this Agreement or in any other instruments delivered at Closing, or for any of Seller’s other liabilities contained in the foregoing, shall not exceed, in the aggregate, an amount equal to [****]of the Purchase Price (the “Maximum Liability Amount”), (ii) Purchaser shall only be entitled to make a claim with respect to any such breach or default if Purchaser is reasonably claiming that such breach or default directly resulted in diminution in the value of the Property or other damages to Purchaser in excess of $[****] (the “Threshold Amount”) and Seller shall only be liable if Purchaser’s actual aggregate damages exceed the Threshold Amount (in which event Seller shall be liable for the entirety of such damages up to the Maximum Liability Amount, not just the amount in excess of the Threshold Amount), (iii) in no event shall Seller be liable for any incidental, consequential, indirect, punitive, special or exemplary damages, or for lost profits, unrealized expectations or other similar claims, and (iv) in every case Purchaser’s recovery for any claim against Seller shall be net of any insurance proceeds and any indemnity, contribution or other similar payment recovered or recoverable by Purchaser from any insurance company or other third party.  
(d)Any claim by Purchaser of a breach of one or more of Seller’s representations as of the date made (individually or collectively, as applicable, a “Breach”) shall be made by Purchaser delivering to Seller written notice (a “Claim Notice”) promptly after Purchaser has learned of such

- 38 -

67677228.12


Breach and, in all events, prior to the expiration of the Limitation Period, which Claim Notice shall set forth (i) a description in reasonable detail of the claimed Breach, (ii) the section and subsection of this Agreement under which the claimed Breach is asserted, and (iii) Purchaser’s reasonable calculation of the diminution in the value of the Property directly resulting from such Breach (the “Claimed Damage”).  TIME SHALL BE OF THE ESSENCE in respect of Purchaser’s obligation to deliver to Seller a Claim Notice as and when and in the manner herein provided. As used in this Agreement, the term “Material Adverse Effect” means a diminution in the value of the Property directly resulting from such Breach in an amount equal to or greater than the Threshold Amount.  The foregoing notwithstanding, any breach of one or more of Seller’s representations as of the date made, which breach results from an act or omission of a third party shall not be deemed a Breach hereunder, and shall be governed by Section 10(d).  
(i)If, prior to the Closing, there occurs or exists a Breach which does not have a Material Adverse Effect, then Purchaser shall have no remedy therefor and must proceed to the Closing with no adjustment of the Purchase Price and Seller shall have no liability therefor.  If, prior to the Closing, there occurs or exists a Breach and Purchaser fails to deliver a Claim Notice to Seller prior to the Closing, then Purchaser shall be deemed to have waived such Breach and shall not be entitled to make any claims with respect thereto.  If, prior to the Closing, Purchaser shall deliver a Claim Notice to Seller asserting a Breach the Claimed Damage for which has a Material Adverse Effect (a “Material Breach”), then Purchaser may, as its sole and exclusive remedy, either (A) proceed to close title to the Property without adjustment of the Purchase Price on account of such asserted Breach (and with no liability to Seller) and waive by written notice to Seller (a “Waiver Notice”) any claims against Seller for the Claimed Damage with respect to such Breach (it being understood and agreed that the closing of title hereunder under such circumstances shall in and of itself be deemed to constitute such waiver by Purchaser, whether or not such Waiver Notice is actually delivered) or (B) terminate this Agreement and receive a return of the Deposit by the giving Seller notice thereof at least one business day prior to the Scheduled Closing Date.  If Purchaser elects to terminate this Agreement pursuant to clause (B) above, upon such return and delivery of the Deposit this Agreement shall terminate and neither party hereto shall have any further obligations hereunder except for those that are expressly provided in this Agreement to survive the termination hereof.
(e)The provisions of this Section 20 shall survive the termination hereof.
21.FIRPTA COMPLIANCE.

Seller shall comply with the provisions of the Foreign Investment in Real Property Tax Act, Section 1445 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (as amended, “FIRPTA”). Seller acknowledges that Section 1445 of the Internal Revenue Code provides that a transferee of a United States real property interest must withhold tax if the transferor is a foreign person. To inform Purchaser that withholding of tax is not required upon the disposition of a United States real property interest by Seller, Seller hereby represents and warrants that Seller is not a foreign person as that term is defined in the Internal Revenue Code and Income Tax Regulations. On the Closing Date, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser a certification as to Seller’s non-foreign status in the form of Exhibit 3 and shall comply with any temporary or final regulations promulgated with respect thereto and any relevant revenue procedures or other officially published announcements

of the Internal Revenue Service of the U.S. Department of the Treasury in connection therewith.

(b)All agreements, covenants, liabilities, indemnities, representations, warranties and other obligations of Seller under this Agreement shall merge with the Deed and have no further effect or validity after Closing, and the acceptance of the Deed by Purchaser shall be deemed full compliance by Seller with all of Seller’s obligations hereunder and an acknowledgement and agreement by Purchaser that Seller is discharged therefrom and shall have no further obligation or liability with respect thereto, except for those provisions of this Agreement which expressly shall survive the Closing.
(c)The provisions of this Section 22 shall survive the Closing or the termination hereof.
23.AMENDMENTS.

This Agreement may not be changed, modified or terminated, except by an instrument executed by Seller and Purchaser.  The provisions of this Section 23 shall survive the Closing or the termination hereof.

24.WAIVER.

No waiver by either party of any failure or refusal by the other party to comply with its obligations shall be deemed a waiver of any other or subsequent failure or refusal to so comply.  The provisions of this Section 24 shall survive the Closing or the termination hereof.

25.PARTIAL INVALIDITY.

If any term or provision of this Agreement or the application thereof to any person or circumstance shall, to any extent, be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement, or the application of such term or provision to persons or circumstances other than those as to which it is held invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby, and each term and provision of this Agreement shall be valid and shall be enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law.  The provisions of this Section 25 shall survive the Closing or the termination hereof.

26.SECTION HEADINGS.

The headings of the various sections of this Agreement have been inserted only for the purposes of convenience, and are not part of this Agreement and shall not be deemed in any manner to modify, explain, expand or restrict any of the provisions of this Agreement.  The provisions of this Section 26 shall survive the Closing or the termination hereof.

67677228.12


27.GOVERNING LAW.

This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York without giving effect to conflict of laws principles thereof.  The provisions of this Section 27 shall survive the Closing or the termination hereof.

28.PARTIES; ASSIGNMENT AND RECORDING.
(a)This Agreement and the various rights and obligations arising hereunder shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon Seller and Purchaser and their respective successors and permitted assigns.
(b)Purchaser may not assign or otherwise transfer this Agreement or any of its rights or obligations hereunder or any of the direct or indirect ownership interests in Purchaser, without first obtaining Seller’s consent thereto; provided, however that Purchaser may assign all of its interest in this Agreement one time on or before the Closing Date to an entity (a “Purchaser Assignee”) that, individually or collectively, is controlled by or under common control with Purchaser so long as (i) Purchaser gives Seller seven (7) business days’ advance written notice thereof (including the name of the transferee(s)), and (ii) Purchaser and Purchaser Assignee execute and deliver an assignment and assumption agreement in form reasonably satisfactory to Seller which assignment shall include an acknowledgment that the Deposit shall be deemed to be the property of the Purchaser Assignee.  In the event of a transfer to a Purchaser Assignee, such Purchaser Assignee shall assume in writing all of the transferor’s obligations and liabilities hereunder (whenever arising, whether before or after such assumption), but such transferor shall not be released from its obligations hereunder.  No consent given by Seller to any transfer or assignment of Purchaser’s rights or obligations hereunder shall be construed as a consent to any other transfer or assignment of Purchaser’s rights or obligations hereunder.  No transfer or assignment in violation of the provisions hereof shall be valid or enforceable.  Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement and the terms and provisions hereof shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and assigns of the parties.
(c)Neither this Agreement nor any memorandum hereof may be recorded without first obtaining Seller’s consent thereto.  Any breach of the provisions of this clause (c) shall constitute a default by Purchaser under this Agreement.  Purchaser agrees not to file any lis pendens or other instrument against all or a portion of the Premises in connection herewith, except in connection with Purchaser’s timely filing of a suit for specific performance in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.  In furtherance of the foregoing, Purchaser, by its signature hereto, (i) acknowledges that the filing of a lis pendens or other evidence of Purchaser’s rights or the existence of this Agreement against all or a portion of the Premises (other than in connection with Purchaser’s timely filing of a suit for specific performance in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement) could cause significant monetary and other damages to Seller and (ii) hereby agrees to indemnify Seller from and against any and all claims, losses, liabilities and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred in the enforcement of the foregoing indemnification obligation) arising out of the breach by Purchaser of any of its obligations under this clause (c).

Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, Purchaser may retain copies of such confidential information if required by its internal document retention policies, if required by applicable laws, rules or regulations of governmental or regulatory authorities, or if it would be unreasonably burdensome to destroy or return such information (such as archived computer records).  At Closing, any confidentiality obligations contained in that certain Confidentiality and Conditions Offering Agreement dated March 31, 2025, executed by Tavros Capital with respect to the Property shall terminate and have no further force or effect.
(b)Prior to the Closing Date, Purchaser and Seller shall confer and agree on a press release to be issued jointly by Purchaser and Seller disclosing the transaction and the appropriate time for making such release.  Neither Purchaser nor Seller shall issue any press releases (or other public statements) with respect to the transaction contemplated in this Agreement without approval of the other party, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided that in no event shall any press release (or other public statements) with respect to this transaction indicate the Purchase Price (or any of the other terms hereof) or, at Seller’s request, the identity of the Seller or any direct or indirect member, partner, shareholder or holder of a direct or indirect interest therein.
(c)The provisions of Section 29(a) shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the provisions of Section 29(b) shall survive the termination hereof or the Closing.

67677228.12


accordance with this Agreement, without any abatement of the Purchase Price or any liability or obligation on the part of Seller by reason of such failure to provide same (except as provided in this clause (b)) and (ii) on the Closing Date, Seller shall direct Escrow Agent to retain a portion of the Purchase Price (the “Noise Mitigation Escrow”) equal to Purchaser’s reasonable estimate (subject to Seller’s review and reasonable approval) of the costs necessary to fulfill any remaining Construction Noise Mitigation Requirements (the “Noise Mitigation Work”), it being agreed that Purchaser and Seller shall cooperate in good faith to finalize the amount of the Noise Mitigation Escrow at least ten (10) business days prior to the Closing Date. Escrow Agent shall hold the Noise Mitigation Escrow pursuant to the terms of an escrow agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit F attached hereto (the “Noise Mitigation Escrow Agreement”), which shall be executed by Seller, Purchaser and Escrow Agent at Closing. Promptly following completion of the Noise Mitigation Work, Purchaser shall submit to Escrow Agent (with a copy to Seller) a written request for disbursement of the Noise Mitigation Escrow (or such portion thereof) equal to the reasonable, out-of-pocket costs actually incurred by Purchaser in connection with the performance of the Noise Mitigation Work (the “Disbursement Request”) as substantiated by copies of all invoices for which Purchaser is requesting disbursement, and the amount set forth in the Disbursement Request shall be disbursed to Purchaser in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Noise Mitigation Escrow Agreement. If the amount set forth in the Disbursement Request is less than the then-balance of the Noise Mitigation Escrow, then, in accordance with the terms of the Noise Mitigation Escrow Agreement, Escrow Agent shall simultaneously disburse (x) to Purchaser, the amount set forth in the Disbursement Request and (y) to Seller, any remaining amount on deposit in the Noise Mitigation Escrow following the disbursement of the amount in clause (x).  If Purchaser determines after Closing that no Noise Mitigation Work is required, then Purchaser shall promptly notify Seller and Escrow Agent in writing, in which event the Noise Mitigation Escrow shall be released to Seller.
(c)The provisions of this Section 38 shall survive the Closing.
