The purchase price (“Purchase Price”) to be paid by Purchaser to Seller for the Premises as provided in Schedule C attached hereto is $_______________. §2.02. All monies payable under this contract, unless otherwise specified in this contract, shall be paid by (a) certified checks of Purchaser or any person making a purchase money loan to Purchaser drawn on any bank or trust company having a banking office in the City of New York and which is a member of the New York Clearing House Association or (b) official bank checks drawn by any such banking institution, payable to the order of Seller, except that uncertified checks of Purchaser payable to the order of Seller up to the amount of one-half of one percent of the Purchase Price shall be acceptable for sums payable to Seller at the Closing, or (c) with respect to the portion of the Purchase Price payable at the Closing, at Seller’s election, by wire transfer of immediately available federal funds to an account designated by Seller not less than three business days prior to the Closing. §2.03. (a) If Schedule C provides for the acceptance of title by Purchaser subject to one or more existing mortgages (collectively, “Existing Mortgage(s)”), the amounts specified in Schedule C with reference thereto may be approximate. If at the Closing the aggregate principal amount of the Existing Mortgage(s), as reduced by payments required thereunder prior to the Closing, is less than the aggregate amount of the Existing Mortgage(s) as specified in Schedule C, the difference shall be added to the monies payable at the Closing, unless otherwise expressly provided herein. (b) If any of the documents constituting the Existing Mortgage(s) or the note(s) secured thereby prohibits or restricts the conveyance of the Premises or any part thereof without the prior consent of the holder or holders thereof (“Mortgagee(s)”) or confers upon the Mortgagee(s) the right to accelerate payment of the indebtedness or to change the terms of the Existing Mortgage(s) in the event that a conveyance is made without consent of the Mortgagee(s), Seller shall notify such Mortgagee(s) of the proposed conveyance to Purchaser within 10 days after execution and delivery of this contract, requesting the consent of such Mortgagee(s) thereto. Seller and Purchaser shall furnish the Mortgagee(s) with such information as may reasonably be required in connection with such request and shall otherwise cooperate with such Mortgagee(s) and with each other in an effort expeditiously to procure such consent, but neither shall be obligated to make any payment to obtain such consent. If such Mortgagee(s) shall fail or refuse to grant such consent in writing on or before the date set forth in Schedule D or shall require as a condition of the granting of such consent (i) that additional consideration be paid to the Mortgagee(s) and neither Seller nor Purchaser is willing to pay such additional consideration or (ii) that the terms of the Existing Mortgage(s) be changed and Purchaser is unwilling to accept such change, then unless Seller and Purchaser mutually agree to extend such date or otherwise modify the terms of this contract, Purchaser may terminate this contract in the manner provided in §13.02. If Schedule C provides for a Purchase Money Mortgage (as defined in §2.04), Seller may also terminate this contract in the manner provided in §13.02 if any of the foregoing circumstances occur or if Seller is unwilling to accept any such change in the terms of the Existing Mortgage(s). 2 American LegalNet, Inc. www.USCourtForms.com §2.04.

The Purchase Money Mortgage shall further provide that the holder thereof shall, on demand and without charge therefor, execute, acknowledge and deliver any agreement or agreements reasonably required by the mortgagor to confirm such subordination. (c) The Purchase Money Mortgage shall contain the following additional provisions: (i) “The mortgagor or any owner of the mortgaged premises shall have the right to prepay the entire unpaid indebtedness together with accrued interest, but without penalty, at any time on or after [insert the day following the last day of the fiscal year of the mortgagee in which the Closing occurs or, if a Prepayment Date is specified in Schedule D, the specified Prepayment Date], on not less than 10 days’ written notice to the holder hereof.” (ii) “Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the obligation of the mortgagor for the payment of the indebtedness and for the performance of the terms, covenants and conditions contained herein and in the note secured hereby is limited solely to recourse against the property secured by this mortgage, and in no event shall the mortgagor or any principal of the mortgagor, disclosed or undisclosed, be personally liable for any breach of or default under the note or this mortgage or for any deficiency resulting from or through any proceedings to foreclose this mortgage, nor shall any deficiency judgment, money judgment or other personal judgment be sought or entered against the mortgagor or any principal of the mortgagor, disclosed or undisclosed, 3 American LegalNet, Inc. www.USCourtForms.com but the foregoing shall not adversely affect the lien of this mortgage or the mortgagee’s right of foreclosure.” (iii) “In addition to performing its obligations under Section 274-a of the Real Property Law, the mortgagee, if other than one of the institutions listed in Section 274-a, agrees that, within 10 days after written request by the mortgagor, but not more than twice during any period of 12 consecutive months, it will execute, acknowledge and deliver without charge a certificate of reduction in recordable form (a) certifying as to (1) the then unpaid principal balance of the indebtedness secured hereby, (2) the maturity date thereof, (3) the rate of interest, (4) the last date to which interest has been paid and (5) the amount of any escrow deposits then held by the mortgagee, and (b) stating, to the knowledge of the mortgagee, whether there are any a alleged defaults hereunder and, if so, specifying the nature thereof.” (iv) “All notices required or desired to be given under this mortgage shall be in writing and shall be delivered personally or shall be sent by prepaid registered or certified mail, addressed to the mortgagor and mortgagee at the addresses specified in this mortgage or to such other parties or at such other addresses, not exceeding two, as may be designated in a notice given to the other party or parties in accordance with the provisions hereof.” (v) The additional provisions, if any, specified in a rider hereto. §2.05.

The tax identification numbers of the parties are either set forth in Schedule D or shall be furnished to Escrowee upon request. At the Closing, such proceeds and the interest thereon, if any, shall be paid by Escrowee to Seller.

If Escrowee does not receive a written objection from the other party to the proposed payment within 10 business days after the giving of such notice, Escrowee is hereby authorized to make such payment. If Escrowee does receive such written objection within such 10 day period or if for any other reason Escrowee in good faith shall elect not to make such payment, Escrowee shall continue to hold such amount until otherwise directed by written instructions from the parties to this contract or a final judgment of a court.

(e) Escrowee may act or refrain from acting in respect of any matter referred to in this §2.05 in full reliance upon and with the advice of counsel which may be selected by it (including any member of its firm) and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from action upon the advice of such counsel. §2.06.

If such removal or compliance has not been completed prior to the Closing, Seller shall pay to Purchaser at the Closing the reasonably estimated unpaid cost to effect or complete such removal or compliance, and Purchaser shall be required to accept title to the Premises subject thereto, except that Purchaser shall not be required to accept such title and may terminate this contract as provided in §13.02 if (a) Purchaser’s Institutional Lender reasonably refuses to provide financing by reason thereof or (b) the Building is a multiple dwelling and either (i) such violation is rent impairing and causes rent to be unrecoverable under Section 302-a of the Multiple Dwelling Law or (ii) a proceeding has been validly commenced by tenants and is pending with respect to such violation for a judgment directing deposit and use of rents under Article 7-A of the Real Property Actions and Proceedings Law.

Regardless of whether a violation has been noted or issued prior to the date of this contract, Seller’s failure to remove or fully comply with any violations which a tenant is required to remove or comply with pursuant to the terms of its lease by reason of such tenant’s use or occupancy shall not be an objection to title.

If Purchaser shall not so elect, Purchaser may terminate this contract and the sole liability of Seller shall be to refund the Downpayment to Purchaser and to reimburse Purchaser for the net cost of title examination, but not to exceed the net amount charged by Purchaser’s title company therefor without issuance of a policy, and the net cost of updating the existing survey of the Premises or the net cost of a new survey of the Premises if there was no existing survey or the existing survey was not capable of being updated and a new survey was required by Purchaser’s Institutional Lender.

Seller shall not be required to bring any action or proceeding or to incur any expense in excess of the Maximum Expense specified in Schedule D (or if none is so specified, the Maximum Expense shall be one-half of one percent of the Purchase Price) to cure any title defect or to enable Seller otherwise to comply with the provisions of this contract, but the foregoing shall not permit Seller to refuse to pay off at the Closing, to the extent of the monies payable at the Closing, mortgages or other liens on the Premises which can be satisfied or discharged by payment of a sum certain, other than Existing Mortgages, of which Seller has actual knowledge. 17 American LegalNet, Inc. www.USCourtForms.com §13.03.

Upon request made a reasonable time before the Closing, Purchaser shall provide at the Closing separate checks for the foregoing payable to the order of the holder of any such lien, charge or encumbrance and otherwise complying with §2.02. If Purchaser’s title insurance company is willing to insure both Purchaser and Purchaser’s Institutional Lender, if any, that such charges, liens and encumbrances will not be collected out of or enforced against the Premises, then, unless Purchaser’s Institutional Lender reasonably refuses to accept such insurance in lieu of actual payment and discharge, Seller shall have the right, in lieu of payment and discharge to deposit with the title insurance company such funds or assurances or to pay such special or additional premiums as the title insurance company may require in order to so insure. In such case the charges, liens and encumbrances with respect to which the title insurance company has agreed so to insure shall not be considered objections to title. §13.04. If Purchaser shall default in the performance of its obligation under this contract to purchase the Premises, the sole remedy of Seller shall be to retain the Downpayment as liquidated damages for all loss, damage and expense suffered by Seller, including without limitation the loss of its bargain. §13.05.

The commission of such broker shall be paid pursuant to separate agreement by the party specified in Schedule D. If no broker is specified in Schedule D, the parties acknowledge that this contract was brought about by direct negotiation between Seller and Purchaser and that neither Seller nor Purchaser knows of any broker entitled to a commission in connection with this transaction. Unless otherwise provided in Schedule D, Seller and Purchaser shall indemnify and defend each other against any costs, claims or expenses, including attorneys’ fees, arising out of the breach on their respective parts of any representations, warranties or agreements contained in this paragraph.
