4.SELLER’S UNDERLYING FINANCING. Unless Buyer is assuming Seller’s underlying financing, Seller shall be responsible for confirming the existing underlying financing is not subject to any "lock out" or similar covenant which would prevent the lender's lien from being released at closing. In addition, Seller shall provide Buyer notice prior to the end of the Feasibility Period if Seller is required to substitute securities for the Property as collateral for the underlying financing (known as “defeasance”). If Seller provides this notice of defeasance to Buyer, then the parties shall close the transaction in accordance with the process described in CBA Form PS_D or any different process identified in Seller’s defeasance notice to Buyer.

5.FEASIBILITY CONTINGENCY.

Buyer shall schedule any entry onto the Property with Seller in advance and shall comply with Seller's reasonable requirements including those relating to security, confidentiality, and disruption of Seller's tenants. Buyer shall not perform any invasive testing including environmental inspections beyond a phase I assessment or contact the tenants or property management personnel without obtaining the Seller's prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. Buyer shall restore the Property and improvements to the same condition they were in prior to inspection. Buyer shall be solely responsible for all costs of its inspections and feasibility analysis and has no authority to bind the Property for purposes of statutory liens. Buyer agrees to indemnify and defend Seller from all liens, costs, claims, and expenses, including attorneys' and experts' fees, arising from or relating to entry onto or inspection of the Property by Buyer and its agents. This agreement to indemnify and defend Seller shall survive closing. Buyer may continue to enter the Property in accordance with the foregoing terms and conditions after removal or satisfaction of the feasibility contingency only for the purpose of leasing or to satisfy conditions of financing.

c.Buyer waives the right to receive a seller disclosure statement (“Form 17-Commercial”) if required by RCW 64.06. However, if Seller would otherwise be required to provide Buyer with a Form 17-Commercial, and if the answer to any of the questions in the section of the Form 17-Commercial entitled “Environmental” would be “yes,” then Buyer does not waive the receipt of the “Environmental” section of the Form 17-Commercial which shall be provided by Seller.

6.TITLE INSURANCE.

permit time for these notices. Buyer shall not be required to object to any mortgage or deed of trust liens, or the statutory lien for real property taxes, and the same shall not be deemed to be Permitted Exceptions; provided, however, that the lien securing any financing which Buyer has agreed to assume shall be a Permitted Exception. Except for the foregoing, those provisions not objected to or for which Buyer waived its objections shall be referred to collectively as the “Permitted Exceptions.” Seller shall cooperate with Buyer and the title company to clear objectionable title matters but shall not be required to incur any out-of-pocket expenses or liability other than payment of monetary encumbrances not assumed by Buyer and proration of real property taxes, and Seller shall provide an owner's affidavit containing the information and reasonable covenants requested by the title company.

Time is of the essence in the performance of this Agreement. Sale proceeds shall be considered available to Seller, even though they cannot be disbursed to Seller until the next business day after Closing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Seller informed Buyer during the Feasibility Period that Seller’s underlying financing requires that it be defeased and may not be paid off, then Closing shall be conducted in accordance with the three-day closing process described in CBA Form PS_D. This Agreement is intended to constitute escrow instructions to Closing Agent.

Real and personal property taxes and assessments payable in the year of closing; collected rents on any existing tenancies; interest; utilities; and other operating expenses shall be pro-rated as of Closing.

Buyer shall pay to Seller at Closing an additional sum equal to any utility deposits or mortgage reserves for assumed financing for which Buyer receives the benefit after Closing. Buyer shall pay all costs of financing including the premium for the lender's title policy. If the Property was taxed under a deferred classification prior to Closing, then Seller shall pay all taxes, interest, penalties, deferred taxes or similar items which result from removal of the Property from the deferred classification. At Closing, all refundable deposits on tenancies shall be credited to Buyer or delivered to Buyer for deposit in a trust account if required by state or local law. Buyer shall pay any sales or use tax applicable to the transfer of personal property included in the sale.
