Material. In the event of any Material Damage to or destruction of the Property or any portion thereof prior to Closing, Purchaser may, at its option, terminate this Agreement by delivering written notice to Seller on or before the expiration of 30 days after the date Seller delivers the Casualty Notice to Purchaser (and if necessary, the Closing Date shall be extended to give the parties the full thirty-day period to make such election). Upon any such termination, the Earnest Money shall be returned to Purchaser and the parties hereto shall have no further rights or obligations hereunder, other than those that by their terms survive the termination of this Agreement. If Purchaser does not elect to terminate this Agreement within said 30-day period, then the parties shall proceed under this Agreement and close on schedule (subject to extension of Closing as provided above), and as of Closing Seller shall assign to Purchaser, without representation or warranty by or recourse against Seller, all of Seller's rights in and to any resulting insurance proceeds (including any rent loss insurance applicable to any period on and after the Closing Date) due Seller as a result of such damage or destruction and Purchaser shall assume full responsibility for all needed repairs, and Purchaser shall receive a credit at Closing for any deductible amount under such insurance policies as well as the amount of any uninsured loss. For the purposes of this Agreement, "Material Damage" and "Materially Damaged" means damage which, in Seller's reasonable estimation, exceeds $250,000.00 to repair.

. In the event of a “major” loss or damage, Purchaser may terminate this Agreement by written notice to Seller, in which event the Earnest Money shall be returned to Purchaser. If Purchaser has not elected to terminate this Agreement within ten (10) days after Seller has sent Purchaser written notice of the occurrence of major loss or damage, then Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected to proceed with Closing, in which event Seller shall, at Seller’s option, either # perform any necessary repairs at Seller’s expense, or # assign to Purchaser all of Seller’s right, title and interest to any claims and proceeds Seller may have with respect to any casualty insurance policies or condemnation awards relating to the premises in question. If Seller elects to perform repairs upon the Property, Seller shall use reasonable efforts to complete such repairs promptly and the Closing Date shall be extended for a period not to exceed fifteen (15) business days in order to allow for the completion of such repairs. If Seller elects to assign a casualty claim to Purchaser, the Purchase Price shall be reduced by an amount equal to the deductible amount under Seller’s insurance policy(ies); provided however, if the amount of the deductible is a permitted operating expense under the Leases that may be passed-through to the tenants under the Leases, Purchaser will remit to Seller the amount of the deductible if and when collected by Purchaser under the Leases. Upon Closing, full risk of loss with respect to the Property shall pass to Purchaser.

Material Damage. In the event of any Material Damage (as defined below) to or destruction of any one or more of the Properties or any portion thereof prior to Closing, Purchaser may elect to remove such Property from this Agreement by giving notice of the same to Seller within ten (10) business days after the date Seller delivers the Casualty Notice to Purchaser and the parties shall proceed to a Partial Closing (as defined below) without such Property, and as of Closing the Purchase Price shall be reduced by the Allocated Purchase Price for such Property. For the purposes of this Agreement, “Material Damage” or “Materially Damaged” means damage in excess of $1,000,000 for such Property. In the event Purchaser elects to pursue closing on such Property, then as a condition thereof, Seller shall assign any and all rights to insurance proceeds to Purchaser and Seller shall have delivered confirmation and acknowledgment by the carrier that such casualty is covered and that the proceeds will be paid to Purchaser. In addition, Seller shall credit Purchaser with any deductible on such policy.

In the event of any material damage or destruction to the Property or any portion thereof, Purchaser may, at its option, by notice to Seller given within the earlier of twenty (20) days after Purchaser is notified by Seller of such damage or destruction, or the Closing Date, but in no event less than ten (10) days after Purchaser is notified by Seller of such damage or destruction (and if necessary the Closing Date shall be extended to give Purchaser the full 10-day period to make such election): # terminate this Agreement, whereupon Escrow Agent shall immediately return the Earnest Money to Purchaser, or # proceed to close under this Agreement, receive (and Seller will assign to Purchaser at the Closing Seller’s rights under insurance policies to receive) any insurance

If Purchaser elects # above and to proceed to Closing, Purchaser may extend the Closing Date for up to an additional thirty (30) day period in which to obtain insurance settlement agreements with Seller’s insurers, and Seller agrees to cooperate with Purchaser in obtaining the insurance proceeds and such agreements from Seller’s insurers. If the Property is not materially damaged, then Purchaser shall not have the right to terminate this Agreement, but Seller shall, at its cost, repair the damage before the Closing in a manner reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser or if repairs cannot be completed before the Closing, credit Purchaser at Closing for the reasonable cost to complete the repair. “Material damage” and “Materially damaged” means damage # reasonably exceeding ten percent (10%) of the Purchase Price to repair, or # which, would permit the Tenant to terminate the Lease.
