(c)(i)     If Buyer notifies Seller of the existence of any Title Defects, Seller shall have ten (10) days from the date of such notice to notify Buyer whether Seller intends to cure such Title Defects, except that in all cases Seller must discharge at or prior to Closing all monetary liens affecting the Property.  Seller’s failure to notify Buyer within such 10-day period shall be conclusively deemed to be Seller’s notice to Buyer of Seller’s decision not to cure the Title Defects, except such monetary liens.

(ii)If Seller notifies, or is deemed to have notified, Buyer of its intention not to cure all Title Defects, Buyer shall have ten (10) days thereafter to notify Seller of its decision whether to take such title as Seller may give or of terminating this Agreement, and in the latter event, the Deposit shall be promptly returned to Buyer and this Agreement shall terminate.

For a period of five (5) years following the Closing Date, the following parties shall not develop, purchase or invest in any self storage facility, mini storage facility or truck leasing operation within a five (5) mile radius of the Project: Strickland, and any other Seller-related entity, Seller’s principals, Seller’s affiliates or Seller’s members (collectively, the “Seller Parties”).  The Seller Parties acknowledge that the restrictions set forth in this Paragraph 23 are reasonable and necessary for the protection of Buyer’s purchase of, and interest in, the Property.  This Paragraph 23 shall survive Closing.

Either party may effect a like-kind exchange under Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).  Accordingly, each party agrees that it will cooperate with the other to effect a tax-free exchange in accordance with the provisions of Section 1031 of the Code and the regulations promulgated with respect thereto, provided same shall not delay the Closing, unless agreed to by the other party in its sole discretion.  The exchanging party shall be solely responsible for any additional fees, costs or expenses incurred in connection with the like-kind exchange contemplated by it pursuant to this Paragraph 24, and neither party shall be required to incur any debt, obligation or expense in accommodating the other hereunder.  In no event shall either party’s ability or inability to effect a like-kind exchange, as contemplated hereby, in any way delay the Closing or relieve the other from its obligations and liabilities under this Agreement.  Each party hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the other from any liability, losses or damages incurred by the other in connection with or arising out of the Section 1031 like-kind exchange of the exchanging party, including but not limited to any tax liability.  This Paragraph 24 shall survive Closing.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Buyer has no obligation to purchase less than all of the Property, it being the express agreement and understanding of Buyer and Seller that, as a material inducement to Buyer to enter into this Agreement, Buyer has agreed to purchase, and Seller has agreed to sell, all of the Property, subject to and in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof.  Accordingly, the parties acknowledge that this Agreement is intended to effect the transfer of title to all properties which, in the aggregate, constitute the Property, and notwithstanding any reference in this Agreement to any singular property, building or parcel or any other similar reference implying that this Agreement relates to only one property, this Agreement shall be construed to effect the transfer of title to all properties constituting the Property (so that, provisions relating to the delivery of the Deed, Bill of Sale, and so forth, shall be construed to require a separate deed for each such property rather than a single deed, as well as separate bills of sale and the like), and the representations and warranties provided by Seller shall be construed to be given by each individual Seller at to it and the property that it owns.

Buyer, Seller and their respective representatives shall hold in confidence all data and information obtained with respect to the transaction contemplated by this Agreement (including the existence and terms of this Agreement), and shall not disclose the same to others, other than to counsel, accountants or agents or independent contractors associated with any such party.    Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Buyer representatives shall have the right to (a) disclose any data or information in connection with any judicially or administratively ordered proceeding, (b) disclose any data or information in connection with reporting requirements related to securities laws and (c) contact any officials representing The City of Lima (and any political subdivisions or departments thereof) and/or Allen County (and any political subdivisions or departments thereof) in connection with the Property or the transaction contemplated under this Agreement.

The Effective Date shall be the later of (a) the date that Seller executes this Agreement and provides proof of same to Buyer, or (b) the date that Buyer executes this Agreement and provides proof of same to Seller.  The Effective Date shall be inserted in the preamble at the top of page one of this Agreement.
