If Buyer shall fail to notify Seller of its election within said five-day period, Buyer shall be deemed to have elected to proceed with the purchase and take title to the Property subject to such Title Objections. If Seller gives Buyer notice under clause (a) above and, if despite its reasonable efforts to do so, Seller cannot satisfy such objections (other than the Monetary Liens, which shall be satisfied or bonded over by Seller) on or before Closing or, if Seller elects in its sole discretion to extend the Closing, on or before the expiration of such additional thirty (30) day period, Buyer shall have the option to waive its Title Objections and proceed to Closing or terminate this Agreement. Buyer acknowledges that the termination of the transaction pursuant to this section of the Agreement shall not entitle Buyer to receive reimbursement for any expenses or to seek specific performance or any other legal or equitable remedy against Seller. Notwithstanding any term or provision herein to the contrary, in no event shall the Title Decision Date extend beyond the Study Period. In the event Buyer does not terminate this Agreement at the end of the Study Period and the Title Decision Date has not yet occurred, Buyer shall be deemed to have waived any outstanding Title Objections and shall have no further right to terminate this Agreement in connection with any title objection.

(b)Survival of Seller’s Representations and Warranties. The representations and warranties of Seller set forth in Section 9 hereof as updated as of the Closing in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, shall survive Closing for a period of one hundred eighty (180) days except for the representation set forth in Section 9(a)(ix)(7) which shall survive Closing for a period of one (1) calendar year. No claim for a breach of any representation or warranty of Seller or either of the Partners shall be actionable or payable if the breach in question results from or is based on a condition, state of facts or other matter which was known to Buyer prior to or at Closing. In the event Buyer obtains knowledge prior to Closing which renders any of the representations and warranties made by Seller or the Partners inaccurate in any material respect and Buyer nevertheless proceeds to Closing, Buyer shall be deemed to have waived its right to rely upon the applicable representation and warranty with respect to which Buyer had knowledge of inaccuracies prior to or at the Closing. Neither Seller nor the Partners shall have any liability to Buyer for a breach of any representation or warranty (a) unless the valid claims for all such breaches collectively aggregate more than .0.05% of the Purchase Price, in which event the full amount of such valid claims shall be actionable, up to the Cap (as defined in this Section), and (b) unless written notice containing a description of the specific nature of such breach shall have been given by Buyer to the Partners prior to the expiration of said one hundred eighty (180) day period and an action shall have been commenced by Buyer against the Partners within two hundred forty (240) days of Closing which period shall be tolled for a period not to exceed an additional ninety (90) days if Buyer is seeking recovery from any insurer as required in the following sentence. Buyer agrees to first seek recovery under any insurance policies prior to seeking recovery from the Partners, and the Partners shall not be liable to Buyer if Buyer’s claim is satisfied from such insurance policies. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the maximum aggregate amount which may be awarded to or collected by Buyer under this Agreement (including, without limitation, for any breach of representations and warranties contained herein), and any and all documents executed pursuant hereto or in connection herewith, including, without limitation, the Deed, Bill of Sale and Assignment and Assumption Agreement or the Assignment of Partnership Interests, or for any reason whatsoever, shall under no circumstances whatsoever exceed five percent (5%) of the Purchase Price (the “Cap”). This provision shall survive Closing.

(c)Change in Representation and Warranty. Seller and the Partners shall have the right, prior to Closing, to give Buyer written notice of any changed conditions with respect to any of Seller's or Partners’ representations and warranties made in Section 9 hereof which changed conditions ("Changed Conditions") (other than with respect to the representations and warranties in Section 9(a)(i) and 9(a)(ix)) would otherwise prevent Seller or the Partners from remaking the representations and warranties as of the Closing Date, provided that if the Changed Condition is a result of the intentional act or omission of Seller, then in such event Buyer shall have the right to elect not to Close this transaction and may terminate this Agreement by written notice delivered to Seller within five (5) days after Buyer first becomes aware of the applicable Changed Condition, in which event the Deposit shall be returned to Buyer, and Seller shall be solely responsible for payment of all cancellation charges of the escrow and any title order, and neither party shall have any further obligation hereunder other than any indemnification or restoration obligation of Buyer hereunder. If Buyer does not so terminate this Agreement, then Buyer shall be deemed to have accepted such Changed Condition, in which case such representation or warranty shall be modified, as appropriate, so as to be true and correct when remade at Closing. In all other cases, the failure of Seller or Partners to remake the applicable representation(s) and warranty(ies) shall not be deemed a breach of this Agreement. This provision shall survive Closing.

11

(d)No Personal Liability. No partner in or agent of either Partner, nor any advisor, trustee, director, employee, beneficiary, shareholder, member, partner, participant, representative or agent of any partnership, limited liability Partnership, corporation, trust or other entity that has or acquires a direct or indirect interest in either Partner shall have any personal liability beyond the value of its Partnership Interest, directly or indirectly, under or in connection with this Agreement, or any amendment or amendments to this Agreement made at any time or times, heretofore or hereafter, and Buyer and its successors and assigns shall look solely to Partner’s assets of the Partners’ Partnership Interests for the payment of any claim or for any performance, and Buyer, on behalf of itself and its successors and assigns, hereby waives any and all such personal liability. This provision shall survive Closing.

Accordingly, Buyer shall not disclose any Confidential Information to any common shareholder or any other direct or indirect holder of an interest in Buyer, unless required by law, and shall cause its attorneys, affiliates of the Buyer, consultants, directors, officers, employees, agents, contractors and representatives (collectively, the “Buyer Parties”) to, hold in strict confidence, and not disclose to any other person or entity without the prior written consent of Seller until the Closing shall have been consummated, any of the Confidential Information in respect of the Property delivered to Buyer by Seller or any of its agents, representatives, directors, officers or employees.

11.Covenants of Seller. Subject to rights granted to tenants under the Leases, Seller covenants with Buyer as follows:

(a)Except for the proposed leases described on Schedule 11(a) hereto: (a) prior to the expiration of Study Period, Seller shall not without Buyer’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; and (b) from and after the end of the Study Period until Closing, Seller shall not, without the prior written consent of Buyer in each instance, which consent may be withheld, conditioned or delayed in Buyer’s sole discretion: (i) except for existing month-to-month tenants, modify, amend, renew, terminate or extend, in any material manner, any of the Leases, and (ii) consent to the assignment or subletting of any Lease, or (iii) enter into any new lease of the Property or any portion thereof. Any request for Buyer's consent pursuant to this Section 11(a) shall be in writing and shall be accompanied by a description of the material terms of the proposed lease transaction. Buyer shall have a period of five (5) days after receipt of such request to notify Seller in writing of its objections, if any, to the proposed lease transaction. In the event that Buyer fails to so notify Seller of its objections to the proposed lease transaction within such time period, it shall be conclusively presumed that Buyer has approved the terms thereof, and Seller may immediately enter into such transaction on the proposed terms.

(b)Seller shall (i) from and after the end of the Study Period, not enter into any new Service Contracts which would be binding upon the Property or Buyer after Closing for more than thirty (30) days without first obtaining Buyer's prior written consent in each instance, which consent may be withheld, conditioned or delayed in Buyer’s sole discretion (all permitted new contracts or agreements shall be deemed to be included within the term "Service Contracts"); (ii) assign to Buyer as of the Closing Date the Service Contracts (other than those Service Contracts terminable without penalty or premium, which Seller shall terminate at Closing upon Buyer’s election made in writing at least thirty (30) days prior to Closing); (iii) not remove any material Personal Property from the Property without receiving Buyer’s consent, in Buyer’s sole discretion, unless such Personal Property is replaced with Personal Property materially similar in quality and quantity or if removed in connection with a tenant buildout; (iv) not settle any real estate tax disputes in a manner that materially increases the likelihood that a future owner’s real estate tax liability shall be increased as a result of such settlement, without receiving Buyer’s consent in Buyer’s sole discretion; (v) not file, consent or support any action to change the zoning classification of the Property without receiving Buyer’s consent in Buyer’s sole discretion; (vi) continue to operate and maintain the Property materially in accordance with Seller’s past operation and maintenance practices at the Property provided, however, that Seller shall not be obligated to commence, continue or complete any capital expenditures or repairs that may be characterized as capital improvements of the Property and (vii) use reasonable and good faith efforts to either renew existing Leases for the Property or re-let the Property on terms and conditions reasonably acceptable to Buyer.

If the cost of repairing damage from such casualty is greater than five percent (5%) of the Purchase Price, then Buyer shall have the right, for a period of ten (10) days from the date of notice of the amount of damage caused by the casualty, to terminate this Agreement by giving written notice of termination to Seller within such period. Upon such termination, the parties hereto shall be released of any further liability hereunder except for provisions which survive a termination and except that (i) Buyer shall be entitled to a return of the Deposit and (ii) Buyer shall return any documents provided by Seller to Buyer. If Buyer fails to notify Seller within such period of Buyer's intention to terminate this Agreement, then Buyer shall proceed to Closing and, to the extent such sums have not been expended on repair work, all insurance proceeds received by Seller as a result of such casualty loss including the amount of any deductible, shall be paid to Buyer at Closing. If such proceeds have not yet been received by Seller, then Seller's rights to such proceeds shall be assigned to Buyer at Closing without recourse and Seller shall have no obligation to repair such damage.

13

(b)If, prior to the Closing Date, any condemnation or eminent domain proceedings shall be commenced by any competent public authority against the Property, Seller shall promptly give Buyer written notice thereof. Upon notice of the commence-ment of any such proceedings (from Seller or otherwise) and in the event that the taking of such Property shall materially interfere with the operation of the Property, Buyer shall have the right to either (i) accept the Property subject to the proceedings, whereupon any award shall be paid to Buyer and Seller shall deliver to Buyer at Closing, without recourse, all assignments of such award to Buyer, or (ii) terminate this Agreement by giving written notice to Seller to that effect within ten (10) days from the date Buyer receives notice of the proceedings. If this Agreement is terminated by Buyer as aforesaid, the parties hereto shall have no further liability hereunder except as otherwise expressly provided herein and except that (i) Buyer shall be entitled to a return of the Deposit and (ii) Buyer shall return any documents provided by Seller to Buyer. In the event Buyer fails to notify Seller within such period of Buyer's intention to terminate this Agreement, then Buyer shall proceed to Closing and Seller's rights to any awards, without recourse, shall be assigned to Buyer at Closing.

Subject to the provisions of this Section 16(c), the terms and provisions of this Agreement are to apply to and bind the permitted successors and assigns of the parties hereto. Buyer may not assign its rights under this Agreement without first obtaining Seller’s written approval, which approval may be given or withheld in Seller’s sole discretion, provided, however, Buyer shall have the right to assign this Agreement to an affiliate of Buyer without the consent of Seller. In the event Buyer intends to assign its rights hereunder, (a) Buyer shall send Seller written notice of its request at least ten (10) business days prior to Closing, which request shall include the legal name and structure of the proposed assignee, as well as any other information that Seller may reasonably request, and (b) Buyer and the proposed assignee shall execute an assignment and assumption of this Agreement in form and substance satisfactory to Seller, and (c) in no event shall any assignment of this Agreement release or discharge Buyer from any liability or obligation hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, under no circumstances shall Buyer have the right to assign this Agreement to any person or entity owned or controlled by an employee benefit plan if Seller’s sale of the Property to such person or entity would, in the reasonable opinion of Seller’s ERISA advisor, create or otherwise cause a “prohibited transaction” under ERISA. Any transfer, directly or indirectly, of any stock, partnership interest or other ownership interest in Buyer except on a publicly traded exchange shall constitute an assignment of this Agreement. The provisions of this Section 16(c) shall survive the Closing or any termination of this Agreement.

(d)Enforcement. In the event either party hereto fails to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement or in the event a dispute arises concerning the meaning or interpretation of any provision of this Agreement, the party not prevailing in such dispute, as the case may be, shall pay any and all costs and expenses incurred by the other party in enforcing or establishing its rights hereunder, including, without limitation, court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees.

(e)Time of the Essence. Time is of the essence with respect to each and every provision of this Agreement.

(f)Survivability. Except as otherwise provided herein, the covenants, representations and warranties contained in this Agreement shall not survive the Closing of the purchase and sale and shall be deemed merged in the deed for all purposes.

(g)No Recordation. Neither Seller nor Buyer shall record this Agreement or memorandum thereof in or among the land or chattel records of any jurisdiction.

(h)Proper Execution. The submission by Seller to Buyer of this Agreement in unsigned form shall have no binding force and effect, shall not constitute an option, and shall not confer any rights upon Buyer or impose any obligations on Seller irrespective of any reliance thereon, change of position or partial performance until Seller shall have executedthis Agreement and the Deposit shall have been received by the Escrow Agent. Seller’s submission to Buyer of this Agreement shall be deemed withdrawn, revoked and incapable of being executed by Buyer in the event Buyer has not returned a duly executed original Agreement to Seller on or before 5:00 p.m., EST, on March 11, 2005.

(i)Dates. Whenever used herein, unless expressly provided otherwise, the term “days” shall mean consecutive calendar days, except that if the expiration of any time period measured in days occurs on a Saturday, Sunday, legal holiday or other day when federal offices are closed in Washington, D.C., such expiration shall automatically be extended to the next business day.

(j)Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, all such executed counterparts shall constitute the same agreement, and the signature of any party to any counterpart shall be deemed a signature to, and may be appended to, any other counterpart.

(k)Facsimile Signatures. In order to expedite the transaction contemplated herein, telecopied signatures may be used in place of original signatures on this Agreement. Seller and Buyer intend to be bound by the signatures on the telecopied document, are aware that the other party will rely on the telecopied signatures, and hereby waive any defenses to the enforcement of the terms of this Agreement based on the form of signature.

(l)Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement shall nonetheless remain in full force and effect; provided that the invalidity or unenforceability of such provision does not materially adversely affect the benefits accruing to any party hereunder.

17

(m)Applicable Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State in which the Property is located.

(n)No Third-Party Beneficiary. The provisions of this Agreement and of the documents to be executed and delivered at Closing are and will be for the benefit of Seller and Buyer only and are not for the benefit of any third party, and accordingly, no third party shall have the right to enforce the provisions of this Agreement or of the documents to be executed and delivered at Closing.

(o)Captions. The section headings appearing in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and are not intended, to any extent and for any purpose, to limit or define the text of any section or any subsection hereof.

(p)Construction. The parties acknowledge that the parties and their counsel have reviewed and revised this Agreement and that the normal rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall not be employed in the interpretation of this Agreement or any exhibits or amendments hereto.

(q)Waiver of Jury Trial. Seller and Buyer each hereby waive any right to jury trial in connection with the enforcement by Buyer, or Seller, of any of their respective rights and remedies hereunder.

17.Escrow Agent.

(a)The Escrow Agent agrees to hold the Deposit in accordance with the terms hereof. Contemporaneously with the execution and delivery of the Agreement by Buyer, the Buyer shall deposit with the Escrow Agent the Deposit. Escrow Agent shall invest the Deposit in an interest-bearing savings or money market account, short--term U.S. Treasury Bills or similar cash equivalent securities or as the Seller and Buyer may together direct. At Closing, the Escrow Agent shall apply the Deposit to the Purchase Price, together with any accrued interest thereon.

(b)If Escrow Agent is uncertain for any reason whatsoever as to its duties or rights hereunder, Escrow Agent shall continue to hold the Deposit until Escrow Agent receives a written agreement of both parties with respect to disposition of the Deposit, in which event Escrow Agent shall distribute the Deposit in accordance with such agreement; or in the event of litigation between or among the parties shall continue to hold the Deposit until such time as the parties resolve their dispute or such dispute is resolved by judicial or other proceedings.

(c)Acceptance by the Escrow Agent of its duties under this Agreement is subject to the following terms and conditions:

(i)The duties and obligations of the Escrow Agent shall be determined solely by the provisions of this Agreement, and the Escrow Agent shall not be liable except for the performance of such duties and obligations as are specifically set out in this Agreement;

(ii)The Seller and the Buyer will jointly and severally reimburse and indemnify the Escrow Agent for, and hold it harmless against any loss, liability or expense, including but not limited to reasonable attorneys' fees, incurred without bad faith, negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Escrow Agent, arising out of or in connection with any dispute or conflicting claim by the Seller or the Buyer under this Agreement, as well as the costs and expense of defending against any claim or liability arising out of or relating to this Agreement except where such claim or liability arises from the bad faith, negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Escrow Agent; as between the Seller (on the one hand) and the Buyer (on the other hand) their obligations under this Subsection 17(c)(ii) shall be shared equally;

(iii)The Escrow Agent shall be fully protected in acting on and relying upon any written notice, instruction, direction or other document which the Escrow Agent in good faith believes to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties;

(iv)The Escrow Agent shall not be liable for any error of judgment, or for any act done or step taken or omitted by it in good faith or for any mistake in fact or law, or for anything which it may do or refrain from doing in connection herewith, except for its own bad faith, negligence or willful misconduct;

(v)The Escrow Agent may seek the advice of legal counsel in the event of any dispute or question as to the construction of any of the provisions of this Agreement or its duties hereunder, and it shall incur no liability and shall be fully protected in respect of any action taken or suffered by it in good faith in accordance with the opinion of such counsel;

18

(vi)The Escrow Agent may resign and be discharged from its duties hereunder at any time by giving written notice of such resignation to each of the Buyer and the Seller specifying a date, not less than thirty (30) days after the date of such notice, when such resignation will take effect. Upon the effective date of such resignation, the Escrow Agent shall deliver the funds held in escrow to such person or persons as the Buyer and the Seller shall in writing jointly direct, and upon such delivery the Escrow Agent shall be relieved of all duties and liabilities thereafter accruing under this Agreement. The Buyer and the Seller shall have the right at any time upon joint action to substitute a new Escrow Agent by giving notice thereof to the Escrow Agent then acting; and

(vii)Nothing contained in this Agreement shall in any way affect the right of the Escrow Agent to have at any time a judicial settlement of its accounts as Escrow Agent under this Agreement.

18.Like Kind Exchange. Seller or Buyer shall have the right, at its sole discretion, to structure the sale or purchase of the Property as an exchange of property in a deferred exchange of like-kind property under Section 1031(a)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Exchange”), which Exchange will be accomplished pursuant to the terms of a separate exchange agreement between Seller or Buyer, as applicable, and a qualified intermediary to be engaged by Seller. Each party agrees to execute such documents and undertake such other actions as may be reasonably required in order to facilitate the Exchange within two (2) business days after a request therefore by the other party. Each party agrees that the Exchange will not interfere with, increase or affect any of the other party’s contractual rights or obligations hereunder. Each party agrees to fully indemnify the other party from any resulting liability to third parties (including, but not limited to, the Intermediary) arising out of the other party’s cooperation with the Exchange, which indemnity shall be effective from and after the Effective Date and shall survive the Closing of the transactions contemplated hereunder. Solely for purposes of this Section 18 of this Agreement, the term “Seller” shall mean Seller, Partners, Capital Property MM LLC and/or Capital Property Holding LP. Assuming the conditions set forth in Sections 5 and 6 have been satisfied, Seller and Buyer, as applicable, shall be obligated to consummate the transaction hereunder notwithstanding Seller’s and Buyer’s, as applicable, inability or failure to structure the sale as an Exchange.
