shall obtain, at Buyer's expense, from a licensed title agent ("Title Agent"), an ALTA
Commitment (the "Initial Commitment") for an owner's title insurance policy (the "Title
Policy") written on a title insurance company licensed in the state of North Carolina (the
"Title Company") in an amount no less than the Purchase Price evidencing that Seller is
vested with fee simple title to the Property, free and clear of all liens, encumbrances,
exceptions or qualifications whatsoever save and except for(a)those exceptions specified as
Permitted Exceptions in the Section of this Contract entitled "Conveyance of Property," (b)
those exceptions evidenced in writing as being otherwise acceptable to Buyer in its sole
discretion, and (c) those exceptions to title which are to be discharged by Seller at or before
Closing. The Initial Commitment shall include copies of all documents referenced therein.
Buyer shall pay all costs of any title search, examination or investigation, including the
costs of premium for the Title Policy or Title Policies (not to exceed the minimum
promulgated rates) to be issued pursuant to the Initial Commitment and any subsequent
commitment. The Initial Commitment shall also evidence that upon the execution, delivery
and recordation of the deeds to be delivered at Closing and the satisfaction of all requirements
specified in Schedule B, Section 1 of the Initial Commitment,Buyer shall acquire fee simple
title to the Property, subject only to the Permitted Exceptions.
(b) Title Defects Notice. If Buyer or its attorneys shall determine that the Initial
Commitment does not meet the requirements specified above, or that title to the Property is
unsatisfactory to Buyer for reasons other than the existence of Permitted Exceptions or
exceptions which are to be discharged by Seller at or before closing, then Buyer shall notify
Seller on or before expiration of the Inspection Period of those liens, encumbrances,
exceptions or qualifications to title which either are not Permitted Exceptions, are
unsatisfactory to Buyer or are not contemplated by this Contract to be discharged by Seller at
or before Closing, and any such liens, encumbrances, exceptions or qualifications shall be
hereinafter referred to as "Title Defects." Seller shall notify Buyer in writing no later than
ten (10) business days after Seller's receipt of Buyer's notice setting forth the existence of
any Title Defects and indicate to Buyer that Seller either(i)intends to cure the Title Defects
within the applicable cure period, or(ii) intends not to cure some or all of such exceptions,
identifying which of the Title Defects Seller intends to cure. If Seller elects not to cure any
of the Title Defects, then Buyer may, as it sole and exclusive remedy, either (i) terminate
this Contract with written notice to Seller within ten (10) business days of Seller's notice
and receive an immediate refund of the Earnest Money Deposit or(ii) waive the objection
and proceed to Closing.
(c) Seller's Cure of Title Defects. Seller shall have thirty(30)days,or such longer
period as Buyer may grant in its reasonable discretion, following receipt of written notice of
the existence of Title Defects in which to undertake a good faith,diligent and continuous effort
and, in fact, cure or eliminate the Title Defects which Seller has undertaken to cure to the
satisfaction of Buyer and the Title Company in such manner as to permit the Title Company
to either endorse the Initial Commitment or issue a replacement commitment to delete the
Title Defects therefrom.
(d) Updated Initial Commitment. No later than ten(10) days prior to the closing
date, Buyer shall obtain at Buyer's cost, an update to the Initial Commitment. Any matters
7
DocuSign Envelope ID:CB84FODF-CE10-46E2-8F43-0592D2D65BFC
disclosed which were not exceptions in the Initial Commitment shall automatically be deemed
Title Defects which Seller shall be obligated to cure unless such matters were placed of record
with Buyer's joinder and consent. Any cure of any such Title Defects shall be effected within
such time periods as were provided in connection with curing Title Defects under the Initial
Commitment.
(e) Effect on Closing Date. If Seller shall in fact cure or eliminate the Title
Defects, the Closing shall take place on the date specified in this Contract, or if the closing
date shall have passed then the Closing shall occur within fifteen (15) days after the end of
said curative period.
(f) Failure to Cure Title Defects. If Seller is unable to cure or eliminate any Title
Defects within the time allowed, Buyer may, as its sole remedy, elect to terminate this
Contract within ten(10)days following the expiration of the curative period by giving written
notice of termination to Seller, or, alternatively, Buyer may elect to close its purchase of the
Property,accepting the conveyance of the Property subject to the Title Defects,in which event
the Closing shall take place on the date specified in this Contract, subject to any delays
provided for above. If,by giving written notice to Seller within the time allowed,Buyer elects
to terminate this Contract because of the existence of uncured Title Defects, the Earnest
Money Deposit shall be returned to Buyer and upon such return the obligations of the
parties under this Contract shall be terminated except for any indemnity obligations that
survive termination. The foregoing right of Buyer to terminate the Contract upon the
failure to cure a Title Defect which Seller is obligated to cure shall not be deemed to limit
the Buyer's rights and remedies to which Buyer might otherwise be entitled for the breach
by Seller of any of its covenants, duties or obligations hereunder, or for the falsehood of
any of the Seller's material representations. The presence of an uncured Title Defect that
arises after delivery of the Initial Commitment and is caused in whole or in part by the
negligent act or omission of Seller and which is not cured in a timely manner hereunder
shall be a default of the Seller hereunder.
(g) Efforts to Cure Title Defects. When Seller has an obligation to cure Title
Defects, Seller shall act continuously, diligently and in good faith to effect such cure;
provided, however, that with respect to Title Defects raised in connection with the Initial
Commitment only, Seller shall have no obligation to expend monies or institute litigation
to cure Title Defects except as to construction liens caused by Seller and other liens,
mortgages and judgments which can be cured by the payment of a liquidated amount,either
to the lienor or to the Title Company.
10. Survey. Buyer, at Buyer's expense, may obtain a boundary survey of the Property
(the "Survey") and Seller hereby grants Buyer and Buyer's agents the right to go on the Property as
may be reasonably required to perform such work. The Survey shall be prepared by a land surveyor
duly licensed and registered as such in the State of North Carolina, (i) shall be certified by such
surveyor to Buyer, Seller, each parties' legal counsel and the Title Company, (ii) shall reference
the Initial Commitment file number, (iii) shall set forth the legal description of the Property
precisely as it appears in the Initial Commitment (or the Initial Commitment must be endorsed so
that the insured legal description mirrors the legal description in the Survey, if applicable), (iv)
shall identify whether or not each matter referenced in the Initial Commitment applies to the
8
DocuSign Envelope ID:CB84FODF-CE10-46E2-8F43-0592D2D65BFC
Property, (v) shall depict the boundaries of each such item that is capable of being depicted on the
Survey, (vi) shall include the original signature and seal of the surveyor, and (vii) shall be in a
form satisfactory to the Title Company to eliminate the standard survey exceptions from the title
insurance policy to be issued at Closing. Buyer shall notify Seller in writing within the period for
Buyer to notify Seller of any Title Defects specifying any matters shown on the Survey which
adversely affect the title to the Property and the same shall thereupon be deemed to be Title Defects
hereunder and Seller shall be obligated to undertake the cure thereof within the time and in the
manner provided in the Section of this Contract entitled "Evidence of Title."
11. Possession and Risk of Loss. Possession of the Property shall be surrendered by
Seller to Buyer at the time of Closing hereunder. Prior to the surrender of possession, Seller shall
commit or permit no waste, deterioration or destruction of the Property, and shall bear all risk of loss
of whatever nature.
12. Condemnation of Property. In the event that prior to Closing all or any portion of
the Property, or access thereto, is condemned, threatened to be condemned or condemnation
proceedings have been instituted by or on behalf of any public or quasi-public entity or for any public
or quasi-public use or purpose, then, in the sole and absolute discretion of Buyer, Buyer shall have
the option to, as its sole remedy,: (i) terminate this Contract and receive a refund of the Earnest
Money Deposit,or(ii)proceed with the Closing and receive a credit against the Purchase Price of any
award received or to be received (the rights to which award shall be assigned by Seller to Buyer at
Closing).
13. Conveyance of Property. At the time of closing hereunder, Seller shall convey a fee
simple interest and estate in and title to the Property by Special Warranty Deed (the "Deed") using

only for the following exceptions (hereinafter referred to as"Permitted Exceptions"):
(a) Ad valorem real property taxes for the year of closing and subsequent years.
(b) Local zoning ordinances and regulations.
(c) Those encumbrances, exceptions and qualifications set forth in the Initial
Commitment or any update to the Initial Commitment that have not been objected to by
Buyer.

Property shall be purchased on or before the earlier of one (1) year following the Effective Date or
fifteen(15)business days following the receipt of all of the Permits,Approvals and Entitlements(the
"Closing"). At Closing, the Purchase Price for the Property shall be paid to Escrow Agent, the
Deed and other closing documents reasonably required by either party (including any appropriate
and customary affidavits of Seller and any brokers,as applicable,as assurance against the existence
of outstanding rights which could form the basis for construction liens, brokers' liens, unrecorded
easements or claims of parties in possession, permitting the Title Company to delete the standard
exceptions, including the "gap", and complying with the Foreign Investment in Real Property Tax

shared equally by Seller and Buyer. Each of the respective parties shall bear its own attorneys'

as of the date Seller surrenders possession of the Property to Buyer. If, however, the amount of
such taxes for the year in which possession is surrendered cannot be ascertained,the rates,millages
and assessed valuations for the previous year, with known changes, if any, shall be used.
17. Special Assessments. Any special assessments or liens for governmental
improvements, which are certified, ratified or confirmed as of the date of closing shall be paid by

the date of Closing shall be paid by Buyer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any
certified governmental liens that are payable in installments, Seller shall only be responsible to

have assumed all subsequent installments.

stock or other ownership interest owned or controlled by Buyer or Buyer's parent.

such release is expressly consented to by Seller in writing.
