EARNEST MONEY

        3.1      Deposit and Investment of Earnest Money. Within three (3) Business Day after the Effective Date, Purchaser shall deposit the Initial Earnest Money with Escrow Agent and deliver a completed, executed Form W-9 to the Escrow Agent and the Seller. If upon the expiration of the Inspection Period, this Agreement is still in force and effect, Purchaser shall, no later than the second Business Day following the last day of the Inspection Period, deposit the Additional Earnest Money, as specified in Section 1.1.4 above, with Escrow Agent. Escrow Agent shall invest the Earnest Money in government insured interest-bearing accounts satisfactory to Seller and Purchaser, shall not commingle the Earnest Money with any funds of Escrow Agent or others, and shall promptly provide Purchaser and Seller with confirmation of the investments made. Such account shall have no penalty for early withdrawal, and Purchaser accepts all risks with regard to such account.

        3.2      Independent Consideration. If Purchaser elects to terminate this Agreement for any reason and is entitled to receive a return of the Earnest Money pursuant to the terms hereof, the Escrow Agent shall first disburse to Seller One Hundred and No/100 Dollars ($100.00) as independent consideration for Seller’s performance under this Agreement (“Independent Consideration”), which shall be retained by Seller in all instances.

-6-


further rights or obligations hereunder, except for rights and obligations which, by their terms, survive the termination hereof.

        3.4      Disposition of Earnest Money. The Earnest Money shall be applied as a credit to the Purchase Price at Closing. However, if Purchaser elects to terminate this Agreement prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period pursuant to Section 4.4, Escrow Agent shall pay the entire Earnest Money (less the Independent Consideration) to Purchaser one (1) Business Day following Escrow Agent’s receipt of the Due Diligence Termination Notice from Purchaser (as long as the current investment can be liquidated and disbursed in one (1) Business Day). No notice to Escrow Agent from Seller shall be required for the release of the Earnest Money to Purchaser by Escrow Agent if Purchaser terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 4.4. In the event of a termination of this Agreement by either Seller or Purchaser for any reason other than pursuant to Section 4.4, the party (the “Demanding Party”) seeking to terminate this Agreement shall give written notice of such election to Escrow Agent and the other party (the “Non-Demanding Party”) to this Agreement. Upon receipt of any such notice of termination, Escrow Agent shall give notice to the Non-Demanding Party of Escrow Agent’s receipt of such notice, enclosing a copy of the notice in question. If within five (5) Business Days after the Non-Demanding Party is given or deemed to have been given notice of Escrow Agent’s receipt of the notice in question, Escrow Agent has not received from the Non-Demanding Party its notice of objection to the notice, then Escrow Agent is to disburse the Earnest Money as requested by the notice in question, on the sixth (6th) Business Day following its giving of such notice to the Non-Demanding Party. If within said five (5) Business Day period Escrow Agent receives from the non-demanding party notice of objection, then Escrow Agent is directed to notify the Demanding Party of the objection, and continue to hold the Earnest Money until Escrow Agent is in receipt of a joint order direction or a court order instructing Escrow Agent to disburse the Earnest Money. In such event of objection, Escrow Agent may interplead the Earnest Money into a court of competent jurisdiction in the county in which the Real Property is located. All attorneys’ fees and costs and Escrow Agent’s costs and expenses incurred in connection with such interpleader shall be assessed against the party that is not awarded the Earnest Money, or if the Earnest Money is distributed in part to both parties, then in the inverse proportion of such distribution.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Purchaser may terminate this Agreement for any reason or no reason by giving written notice of termination to Seller and Escrow Agent (the “Due Diligence Termination Notice”) on or before the last day of the Inspection Period. If Purchaser does not give a Due Diligence Termination Notice, this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect, Purchaser shall be deemed to have waived its right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 4.4, and Purchaser shall be deemed to have acknowledged that it has received or had access to all Property Documents and conducted all inspections and tests of the Property that it considers important.

        4.5      Return of Documents and Reports. As additional consideration for the transaction contemplated herein, Purchaser shall provide to Seller, if requested by Seller and to the extent permitted by the preparer of such reports without the payment of additional fees, promptly following receipt of same by Purchaser, copies of all “Reports”. “Reports” mean (a) third-party reports, tests, investigations and studies that pertain to contamination of, or environmental concerns regarding, the Property and (b) all other third party reports, investigations and studies, other than appraisals or economic analyses prepared for Purchaser in connection with its due diligence review of the Property, including, without limitation, any and all Reports involving structural or geological conditions of the Property, if any, which Reports shall be addressed to Purchaser and, if requested by Seller and available at no additional cost to Purchaser, Seller, in all events at no cost to Seller. The Reports shall be delivered to Seller without any representation or warranty as to the completeness or accuracy of the Reports or any other matter relating thereto.

        4.6      Service Contracts. On or prior to the last day of the Inspection Period, Purchaser will advise Seller in writing of which Service Contracts it will assume and for which Service Contracts Purchaser requests that Seller deliver written termination at or prior to Closing, provided Seller shall have no obligation to terminate, and Purchaser shall be obligated to assume, any Service Contracts which by their terms cannot be terminated without penalty in excess of $100 or payment of a fee in excess of $100. Seller shall deliver at Closing notices of termination of all Service Contracts that are not so assumed. Purchaser must assume the obligations arising from and after the Closing Date under those Service Contracts (a) that Purchaser has agreed to assume, or that Purchaser is obligated to assume pursuant to this Section 4.6, and (b) for which a termination notice is delivered as of or prior to Closing but for which termination is not effective until after Closing.

        4.7      Proprietary Information; Confidentiality. Purchaser agrees that it is bound by the Confidentiality Agreement as if it were a party thereto, the Confidentiality Agreement remains in full force and effect, and, without limitation of the Confidentiality Agreement, the Property Documents that have been or may be delivered or provided by, or on behalf of, Seller,

-10-


and the information obtained from any inspection of the Property are proprietary and confidential and the Property Documents and access to the Property have been and will be provided to Purchaser solely to assist Purchaser in determining the feasibility of purchasing the Property. Purchaser shall not use the Property Documents and other information for any purpose other than as set forth in the preceding sentence. Purchaser shall not disclose the contents to any person other than to those persons who are responsible for determining the feasibility of Purchaser’s acquisition of the Property or who are providing financing or determining the feasibility of financing for Purchaser’s purchase and who have agreed to preserve the confidentiality of such information as required hereby (collectively, “Permitted Outside Parties”). Purchaser shall not divulge the contents of the Property Documents and other information except in strict accordance with the confidentiality standards set forth in this Section 4.7. In permitting Purchaser to review the Property Documents or any other information, Seller has not waived any privilege or claim of confidentiality with respect thereto, and no third party benefits or relationships of any kind, either express or implied, have been offered, intended or created. Purchaser’s obligations under this Section 4.7 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

        4.8      No Representation or Warranty by Seller. Purchaser acknowledges that, except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, Seller has not made and does not make any warranty or representation regarding the truth, accuracy or completeness of the Property Documents or the source(s) thereof. Purchaser further acknowledges that (a) Seller obtained title to the Property by foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure and Seller’s files with regard to the Property may be incomplete and (b) some if not all of the Property Documents were prepared by third parties other than Seller. Seller expressly disclaims any and all liability for representations or warranties, express or implied, statements of fact and other matters contained in such information, or for omissions from the Property Documents, or in any other written or oral communications transmitted or made available to Purchaser. Purchaser shall rely solely upon its own investigation with respect to the Property, including, without limitation, the Property’s physical, environmental or economic condition, compliance or lack of compliance with any ordinance, order, permit or regulation or any other attribute or matter relating thereto. Seller has not undertaken any independent investigation as to the truth, accuracy or completeness of the Property Documents and is providing the Property Documents solely as an accommodation to Purchaser.

        4.9      Purchaser’s Responsibilities. In conducting any inspections, investigations or tests of the Property and/or Property Documents, Purchaser and its agents and representatives shall: (a) not disturb the tenants or interfere with their use of the Property pursuant to their respective Leases; (b) not interfere with the operation and maintenance of the Property; (c) not damage any part of the Property or any personal property owned or held by any tenant or any third party; (d) not injure or otherwise cause bodily harm to Seller or its agents, guests, invitees, contractors and employees or any tenants or their agents, guests, invitees, contractors and employees; (e) comply with all applicable laws; (f) promptly pay when due the costs of all tests, investigations, and examinations done with regard to the Property; (g) not permit any liens to attach to the Real Property by reason of the exercise of its rights hereunder; (h) repair any damage to the Real Property resulting directly or indirectly from any such inspection or tests; and (i) not reveal or disclose prior to Closing any information obtained during the Inspection Period concerning the Property and the Property Documents to anyone other than the Permitted Outside Parties, in accordance with the confidentiality standards set forth in Section 4.7 above,

-11-


or except as may be otherwise required by law. Purchaser’s obligations under this Section 4.9 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

        4.10      Purchaser’s Agreement to Indemnify. Purchaser hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Seller harmless from and against any and all liens, claims, causes of action, damages, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of Purchaser’s inspections or tests permitted under this Agreement or any violation of the provisions of Sections 4.3, 4.7, and 4.9; provided, however, the indemnity shall not extend to protect Seller from any pre-existing liabilities for matters merely discovered by Purchaser (i.e., latent environmental contamination) so long as Purchaser’s actions do not aggravate any pre-existing liability of Seller. Purchaser also hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold any tenant harmless from and against any and all claims, causes of action, damages, liabilities and expenses which such tenant may suffer or incur due to Purchaser’s breach of its obligation under Sections 4.7 and 4.9 above to maintain the confidential nature of any Property Documents or other information relative to such tenant. Purchaser’s obligations under this Section 4.10 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and shall survive the Closing.

ARTICLE 5
TITLE AND SURVEY

        5.1      Title Commitment. Purchaser shall cause to be prepared and delivered to Seller on or before the Title Commitment Delivery Date: (a) a current commitment for title insurance or preliminary title report (the Title Commitment) issued by the Title Company, in the amount of the Purchase Price and on a ALTA 2006 Owners Form commitment, with Purchaser as the proposed insured, and (b) copies of all documents of record referred to in the Title Commitment as exceptions to title to the Property.

        5.2      Updated Survey. Purchaser may elect to obtain a new survey or revise, modify, or re-certify an existing survey (“Survey”) as necessary in order for the Title Company to delete the survey exception from the Title Policy or to otherwise satisfy Purchaser’s objectives.

        5.3      Title Review. During the Title and Survey Review Period, Purchaser shall review title to the Property as disclosed by the Title Commitment and the Survey. Seller shall have no obligation to cure title objections except liens securing payment of an ascertainable amount, which liens Seller shall cause to be released at or prior to Closing (with Seller having the right to apply the Purchase Price or a portion thereof for such purpose), and Seller shall deliver the Property free and clear of any such liens. Seller further agrees to remove any exceptions or encumbrances to title which are created by, under or through Seller after the Effective Date without Purchaser’s consent. The term “Permitted Exceptions” shall mean: the exceptions (including exceptions that are part of the promulgated title insurance form) in the Title Commitment that the Purchaser consents to, or is deemed to have consented to, as of the end of the Title and Survey Review Period and that Seller is not required to remove as provided above; matters created by, through or under Purchaser; items shown on the Survey which have not been removed as of the end of the Inspection Period (or if Purchaser does not obtain a Survey, all matters that a current, accurate survey of the Property would show); real estate taxes not yet due and payable; rights of tenants under the Leases; rights of tenants or licensees under License Agreements; and any licensees under any Service Contracts not terminated as of

-12-


Closing. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, Purchaser’s agreement to the definition of “Permitted Exceptions” in this Section 5.3 shall not affect Purchaser’s right to terminate this Agreement prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period pursuant to Section 4.4

        5.4      Delivery of Title Policy at Closing. In the event that the Title Company does not issue at Closing, or unconditionally commit at Closing to issue, to Purchaser, an owner’s title policy in accordance with the Title Commitment, insuring Purchaser’s title interest in the Real Property in the amount of the Purchase Price, subject only to the standard exceptions and exclusions from coverage contained in such policy and the Permitted Exceptions (the “Title Policy”), Purchaser shall have the right to terminate this Agreement, in which case the Earnest Money shall be immediately returned to Purchaser and the parties hereto shall have no further rights or obligations, other than those that by their terms survive the termination of this Agreement.

ARTICLE 6
OPERATIONS AND RISK OF LOSS

        6.1      Ongoing Operations. From the Effective Date through Closing:

                   6.1.1       Leases, Service Contracts and License Agreements. Seller will perform its material obligations under the Leases, Service Contracts and License Agreements.

                   6.1.2       New Contracts. Except as provided in Section 6.1.4, Seller will not enter into any contract that will be an obligation affecting the Property subsequent to the Closing, except contracts entered into in the ordinary course of business that are terminable without cause and without the payment of any termination penalty on not more than 30 days’ prior notice.

                   6.1.3       Maintenance of Improvements; Removal of Personal Property. Subject to Sections 6.2 and 6.3, Seller shall maintain or cause the tenants under the Leases to maintain all Improvements substantially in their present condition (ordinary wear and tear and casualty excepted) and in a manner consistent with Seller’s maintenance of the Improvements during Seller’s period of ownership. Seller will not remove any Tangible Personal Property except as may be required for necessary repair or replacement or with respect to items that, in Seller’s judgment are obsolete, and replacement shall be of approximately equal quality and quantity as the removed item of Tangible Personal Property.

                   6.1.4       Leasing. Seller may, in its sole discretion, amend, terminate or enter into Leases in the ordinary course of business, provided that any new Leases or amendments shall be for a term not to exceed thirteen months, shall be substantially on the terms set forth in Seller’s standard lease form, and on terms consistent with market rents, inducements and terms common in the local market for similar properties.

        6.2      Damage. If prior to Closing the Property is damaged by fire or other casualty, Seller shall estimate the cost to repair and the time required to complete repairs and will provide Purchaser written notice of Seller’s estimation (the “Casualty Notice”) as soon as reasonably possible after the occurrence of the casualty.

-13-


                   6.2.1       Material. In the event of any Material Damage to or destruction of the Property or any portion thereof prior to Closing, either Seller or Purchaser may, at its option, terminate this Agreement by delivering written notice to the other on or before the expiration of 30 days after the date Seller delivers the Casualty Notice to Purchaser (and if necessary, the Closing Date shall be extended to give the parties the full thirty-day period to make such election and to obtain insurance settlement agreements with Seller’s insurers). Upon any such termination, the Earnest Money shall be returned to Purchaser and the parties hereto shall have no further rights or obligations hereunder, other than those that by their terms survive the termination of this Agreement. If neither Seller nor Purchaser so terminates this Agreement within said 30-day period, then the parties shall be deemed to have waived their respective right to terminate under this Section 6.2.1 and the parties shall proceed under this Agreement and close on schedule (subject to extension of Closing as provided above), and as of Closing Seller shall assign to Purchaser, without representation or warranty by or recourse against Seller, all of Seller’s rights in and to any resulting insurance proceeds (including any rent loss insurance applicable to any period on and after the Closing Date) due Seller as a result of such damage or destruction and Purchaser shall assume full responsibility for all needed repairs, and Purchaser shall receive a credit at Closing for any deductible amount under such insurance policies (but the amount of the deductible plus insurance proceeds shall not exceed the lesser of (a) the cost of repair or (b) the Purchase Price and a pro rata share of the rental or business loss proceeds, if any). For the purposes of this Agreement, “Material Damage” and “Materially Damaged” means damage with respect to which the cost of repair, in Seller’s reasonable estimation, exceeds 20% of the Purchase Price or which results in tenants under Leases accounting for more than $100,000 in annual rent having the right to terminate their Leases (except to the extent such rent would be covered by rental or business interruption insurance).

                   6.2.2       Not Material. If the Property is not Materially Damaged, then neither Purchaser nor Seller shall have the right to terminate this Agreement, and Seller shall, at its option, either (a) repair the damage before the Closing in a manner reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser (and if necessary, Seller may extend the Closing Date up to 30 days to complete such repairs), or (b) credit Purchaser at Closing for the reasonable cost to complete the repair (in which case Seller shall retain all insurance proceeds and Purchaser shall assume full responsibility for all needed repairs).

        6.3      Condemnation. If proceedings in eminent domain are instituted with respect to the Property or any portion thereof that in Seller’s reasonable estimation would result in an award that exceeds 10% of the Purchase Price, Purchaser may, at its option, by written notice to Seller given within ten days after Seller notifies Purchaser of such proceedings (and if necessary the Closing Date shall be automatically extended to give Purchaser the full ten-day period to make such election), either: (a) terminate this Agreement, in which case the Earnest Money shall be immediately returned to Purchaser and the parties hereto shall have no further rights or obligations, other than those that by their terms survive the termination of this Agreement, or (b) proceed under this Agreement, in which event Seller shall, at the Closing, assign to Purchaser its entire right, title and interest in and to any condemnation award, and Purchaser shall have the sole right after the Closing to negotiate and otherwise deal with the condemning authority in respect of such matter. If Purchaser does not give Seller written notice of its election within the time required above, then Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected option (b) above.

Specifically, the following shall apply to such prorations and to post-Closing collections of Tenant Receivables:

                   8.1.1       Taxes. If Taxes for the year of Closing are not known or cannot be reasonably estimated, Taxes shall be prorated based on Taxes for the year prior to Closing. Any additional Taxes relating to the year of Closing arising out of a change in the use of the Real Property on or following the Closing Date shall be assumed by Purchaser effective as of Closing and paid by Purchaser when due and payable, and Purchaser shall indemnify Seller from and against any and all such Taxes, which indemnification obligation shall survive the Closing.

                   8.1.2       Utilities. To the extent any utility is in Seller’s name, Purchaser shall take all steps necessary to effectuate the transfer of all utilities to its name as of the Closing Date, and where necessary, post deposits with the utility companies.

then due for the month in which the Closing Date occurs, which amount shall be apportioned between Purchaser and Seller as of the Closing Date as set forth in Section 8.1 hereof (with Seller’s portion thereof to be delivered to Seller); (2) second, to payment of Tenant Receivables first coming due after Closing but applicable to the period of time before Closing, including, without limitation, the Tenant Receivables described in Section 8.1.3(b) (collectively, “Unbilled Tenant Receivables”), which amount shall be delivered to Seller; (3) third, to Tenant Receivables first coming due after Closing and applicable to the period of time after Closing, which amount shall be retained by Purchaser; and (4) thereafter, to delinquent Tenant Receivables which were due and payable as of Closing but not collected by Seller as of Closing (collectively, “Uncollected Delinquent Tenant Receivables”), which amount shall be delivered to Seller. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall have the right to pursue the collection of Uncollected Delinquent Tenant Receivables for a period of one year after Closing without prejudice to Seller’s rights or Purchaser’s obligations hereunder, provided, however, Seller shall have no right to cause any such tenant or licensee to be evicted or to exercise any other “landlord” remedy (as set forth in such tenant’s Lease or licensee’s License Agreement) against such tenant other than to sue for collection. Any sums received by Purchaser to which Seller is entitled under the terms of this Agreement shall be held in trust for Seller on account of such past due rents payable to Seller, and Purchaser shall remit to Seller any such sums received by Purchaser to which Seller is entitled within ten (10) Business Days after receipt thereof less reasonable, actual costs and expenses of collection, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, court costs and disbursements, if any. Seller expressly agrees that if Seller receives any amounts after the Closing Date which are attributable, in whole or in part, to any period from and after the Closing Date, Seller shall remit to Purchaser that portion of the monies so received by Seller to which Purchaser is entitled within ten Business Days after receipt thereof. With respect to Unbilled Tenant Receivables, Purchaser covenants and agrees to (A) bill the same when billable and (B) cooperate with Seller to determine the correct amount of operating expenses and/or taxes due. The provisions of this Section 8.1.3(a) shall survive the Closing.


    (b)        Without limiting the generality of the requirements of Section 8.1.3(a)(3) above, if the final reconciliation or determination of operating expenses and/or taxes due under the Leases shows that a net amount is owed by Seller to Purchaser, said amount shall be paid by Seller to Purchaser within ten business days of such final determination under the Leases. If the final determination of operating expenses and/or taxes due under the Leases shows that a net amount is owed by Purchaser to Seller, Purchaser shall, within ten (10) Business Days of such final determination, remit said amount to Seller. Purchaser agrees to receive and hold any monies received on account of such past due expenses and/or taxes in trust for Seller and to pay same promptly to Seller as aforesaid. The provisions of this Section 8.1.3(b) shall survive the Closing.


        8.2      Intentionally Omitted.

-19-


        8.3      Closing Costs. Closing costs shall be allocated between Seller and Purchaser in accordance with Section 1.2.

        8.4      Final Adjustment After Closing. If final bills are not available or cannot be issued prior to Closing for any item being prorated under Section 8.1, then Purchaser and Seller agree to allocate such items on a fair and equitable basis as soon as such bills are available, final adjustment to be made as soon as reasonably possible after the Closing. Payments in connection with the final adjustment shall be due within 30 days of written notice. All such rights and obligations shall survive the Closing for a period of six months, except that the parties obligation to adjust any tax proration shall survive the Closing for a period of one (1) year.

        8.5      Tenant and other Deposits. All tenant and licensee security deposits collected and not applied by Seller (and interest thereon if required by law or contract) shall be transferred or credited to Purchaser at Closing. As of the Closing, Purchaser shall assume Seller’s obligations related to tenant and licensee security deposits, but only to the extent they are credited or transferred to Purchaser. All deposits made by Seller with any utility company, governmental authority or other Person shall be credited to Seller.

        8.6      Commissions. Seller shall be responsible to Broker for a real estate sales commission at Closing (but only in the event of a Closing in strict accordance with this Agreement) in accordance with a separate agreement between Seller and Broker. Under no circumstances shall Seller owe a commission or other compensation directly to any agent or person other than Broker. Any cooperating broker shall not be an affiliate, subsidiary or related in any way to Purchaser. Other than as stated above in this Section 8.6, Seller and Purchaser each represent and warrant to the other that no real estate brokerage commission is payable to any person or entity in connection with the transaction contemplated hereby, and each agrees to and does hereby indemnify and hold the other harmless against the payment of any commission to any other person or entity claiming by, through or under Seller or Purchaser, as applicable. This indemnification shall extend to any and all claims, liabilities, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and litigation costs) arising as a result of such claims and shall survive the Closing.

DEFAULT AND REMEDIES

        10.1      Seller’s Remedies. If Purchaser fails to consummate the purchase of the Property pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise defaults on its obligations hereunder at or prior to Closing for any reason except failure by Seller to perform hereunder, or if prior to Closing any one or more of Purchaser’s representations or warranties are breached in any material respect, and such default or breach is not cured by the Closing Date (except no notice or cure period shall apply if Purchaser fails to consummate the purchase of the Property hereunder), Seller shall be entitled, as its sole remedy (except as provided in Sections 4.10, 8.6, 10.3 and 10.4 hereof), to terminate this Agreement and recover the Earnest Money as liquidated damages and not as penalty, in full satisfaction of claims against Purchaser hereunder.

Notwithstanding anything in this Section 10.1 to the contrary, in the event of Purchaser’s default or a termination of this Agreement, Seller shall have all remedies available at law or in equity in the event Purchaser or any party related to or affiliated with Purchaser is asserting any claims or right to the Property that would otherwise delay or prevent Seller from having clear, indefeasible and marketable title to the Property. In all other events Seller’s remedies shall be limited to those described in this Section 10.1 and Sections 4.10, 8.6, 10.3 and 10.4 hereof. If Closing is consummated, Seller shall have all remedies available at law or in equity in the event Purchaser fails to perform any obligation of Purchaser under this Agreement.

        10.2      Purchaser’s Remedies. If Seller fails to consummate the sale of the Property pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise defaults on its obligations hereunder at or prior to Closing for any reason except failure by Purchaser to perform hereunder, or if prior to Closing any one or more of Seller’s representations or warranties are breached in any material respect, and such default or breach is not cured by the earlier of the third (3rd) Business Day after written notice thereof from Purchaser or the Closing Date (Purchaser hereby agreeing to give such written notice to Seller within two (2) Business Days after Purchaser first learns of any such default or breach by Seller, except no notice or cure period shall apply if Seller fails to consummate the sale of the Property hereunder), Purchaser shall elect, as its sole remedy, either to (a) terminate this Agreement by giving Seller timely written notice of such election prior to or at Closing and recover the Earnest Money, (b) enforce specific performance to consummate the sale of the Property hereunder or (c) waive said failure or breach and proceed to Closing without any reduction in the Purchase Price. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected to terminate this Agreement if Purchaser fails to deliver to Seller written notice of its intent to file a claim or assert a cause of action for specific performance against Seller on or before sixty (60) Business Days following the scheduled Closing Date or, having given such notice, fails to file a lawsuit asserting such claim or cause of action in the county in which the Property is located within nine (9) months following the scheduled Closing Date. Purchaser’s remedies shall be limited to those described in this Section 10.2 and Sections 10.3 and 10.4 hereof. IN NO EVENT SHALL SELLER’S DIRECT OR INDIRECT

-23-


PARTNERS, SHAREHOLDERS, MEMBERS, MANAGERS, OWNERS OR AFFILIATES, ANY OFFICER, MANAGER, DIRECTOR, EMPLOYEE OR AGENT OF THE FOREGOING, OR ANY AFFILIATE OR CONTROLLING PERSON THEREOF HAVE ANY LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM, CAUSE OF ACTION OR OTHER LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE PROPERTY, WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, COMMON LAW, STATUTE, EQUITY OR OTHERWISE, EXCEPT, WITH RESPECT TO ANY OF SELLER’S DIRECT OR INDIRECT PARTNERS, SHAREHOLDERS, MEMBERS, OR OWNERS, TO THE EXTENT OF SALES PROCEEDS RECEIVED BY OR PAID TO SUCH ENTITIES, AND THEN SUBJECT TO THE LIMITATIONS WITH RESPECT TO CLAIMS AGAINST SELLER SET FORTH HEREIN AND IN SECTION 9.3.

        10.3      Attorneys’ Fees. In the event either party hereto employs an attorney in connection with claims by one party against the other arising from the operation of this Agreement, the non-prevailing party shall pay the prevailing party all reasonable fees and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, incurred in connection with such claims.

        10.4      Other Expenses. If this Agreement is terminated due to the default of a party, then the defaulting party shall pay any fees or charges due to Escrow Agent for holding the Earnest Money as well as any escrow cancellation fees or charges and any fees or charges due to the Title Company for preparation and/or cancellation of the Title Commitment.

ARTICLE 11
DISCLAIMERS, RELEASE AND INDEMNITY

        11.1      Disclaimers By Seller. Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, it is understood and agreed that Seller and Seller’s agents or employees have not at any time made and are not now making, and they specifically disclaim, any warranties, representations or guaranties of any kind or character, express or implied, with respect to the Property, including, but not limited to, warranties, representations or guaranties as to (a) matters of title (other than Seller’s special warranty of title to be contained in the Deed), (b) environmental matters relating to the Property or any portion thereof, including, without limitation, the presence of Hazardous Materials in, on, under or in the vicinity of the Property, (c) geological conditions, including, without limitation, subsidence, subsurface conditions, water table, underground water reservoirs, limitations regarding the withdrawal of water, and geologic faults and the resulting damage of past and/or future faulting, (d) whether, and to the extent to which the Property or any portion thereof is affected by any stream (surface or underground), body of water, wetlands, flood prone area, flood plain, floodway or special flood hazard, (e) drainage, (f) soil conditions, including the existence of instability, past soil repairs, soil additions or conditions of soil fill, or susceptibility to landslides, or the sufficiency of any undershoring, (g) the presence of endangered species or any environmentally sensitive or protected areas, (h) zoning or building entitlements to which the Property or any portion thereof may be subject, (i) the availability of any utilities to the Property or any portion thereof including, without limitation, water, sewage, gas and electric, (j) usages of adjoining property, (k) access to the Property or any portion thereof, (l) the value, compliance with the plans and specifications, size, location, age, use, design, quality, description, suitability, structural integrity, operation, title to, or physical or financial condition of the Property or any portion thereof, or any income, expenses, charges, liens, encumbrances, rights or claims on or

-24-


affecting or pertaining to the Property or any part thereof, (m) the condition or use of the Property or compliance of the Property with any or all past, present or future federal, state or local ordinances, rules, regulations or laws, building, fire or zoning ordinances, codes or other similar laws, (n) the existence or non-existence of underground storage tanks, surface impoundments, or landfills, (o) any other matter affecting the stability and integrity of the Property, (p) the potential for further development of the Property, (q) the merchantability of the Property or fitness of the Property for any particular purpose, (r) the truth, accuracy or completeness of the Property Documents, (s) tax consequences, or (t) any other matter or thing with respect to the Property.

        11.2      Sale “As Is, Where Is”. Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that upon Closing, Seller shall sell and convey to Purchaser and Purchaser shall accept the Property “AS IS, WHERE IS, WITH ALL FAULTS,” except to the extent expressly provided otherwise in this Agreement and any document executed by Seller and delivered to Purchaser at Closing. Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, Purchaser has not relied and will not rely on, and Seller has not made and is not liable for or bound by, any express or implied warranties, guarantees, statements, representations or information pertaining to the Property or relating thereto (including specifically, without limitation, Property information packages distributed with respect to the Property) made or furnished by Seller, or any property manager, real estate broker, agent or third party representing or purporting to represent Seller, to whomever made or given, directly or indirectly, orally or in writing. Purchaser represents that it is a knowledgeable, experienced and sophisticated purchaser of real estate and that, except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, it is relying on its own expertise and that of Purchaser’s consultants in purchasing the Property and shall, to the extent reasonably possible, make an independent verification of the accuracy of any documents and information provided by Seller. Purchaser will conduct such inspections and investigations of the Property as Purchaser deems necessary, including, but not limited to, the physical and environmental conditions thereof, and shall rely upon same. By failing to terminate this Agreement prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period, Purchaser acknowledges that Seller has afforded Purchaser a full opportunity to conduct such investigations of the Property as Purchaser deemed necessary to satisfy itself as to the condition of the Property and the existence or non-existence or curative action to be taken with respect to any Hazardous Materials on or discharged from the Property, and will rely upon same and not upon any information provided by or on behalf of Seller or its agents or employees with respect thereto, other than such representations, warranties and covenants of Seller as are expressly set forth in this Agreement. Upon Closing, Purchaser shall assume the risk that adverse matters, including, but not limited to, adverse physical or construction defects or adverse environmental, health or safety conditions, may not have been revealed by Purchaser’s inspections and investigations. Purchaser hereby represents and warrants to Seller that: (a) Purchaser is represented by legal counsel in connection with the transaction contemplated by this Agreement; and (b) Purchaser is purchasing the Property for business, commercial, investment or other similar purpose and not for use as Purchaser’s residence. Purchaser waives any and all rights or remedies it may have or be entitled to, deriving from disparity in size or from any significant disparate bargaining position in relation to Seller.

        11.3      Seller Released from Liability. Purchaser acknowledges that it will have the opportunity to inspect the Property during the Inspection Period, and during such period, observe its physical characteristics and existing conditions and the opportunity to conduct such

-25-


investigation and study on and of the Property and adjacent areas as Purchaser deems necessary, and Purchaser hereby FOREVER RELEASES AND DISCHARGES Seller from all responsibility and liability, including without limitation, liabilities and responsibilities for the landlord’s obligations under the Leases relating to the physical, environmental or legal compliance status of the Property, whether arising before or after the Effective Date, and liabilities under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act Of 1980 (42 U.S.C.

Purchaser further hereby WAIVES (and by Closing this transaction will be deemed to have WAIVED) any and all objections and complaints (including, but not limited to, federal, state and local statutory and common law based actions, and any private right of action under any federal, state or local laws, regulations or guidelines to which the Property is or may be subject, including, but not limited to, CERCLA) concerning the physical characteristics and any existing conditions of the Property, including, without limitation, the landlord’s obligations under the Leases relating to the physical, environmental or legal compliance status of the Property, whether arising before or after the Effective Date. Purchaser further hereby assumes the risk of changes in applicable laws and regulations relating to past, present and future environmental conditions on the Property and the risk that adverse physical characteristics and conditions, including, without limitation, the presence of Hazardous Materials or other contaminants, may not have been revealed by its investigation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 11.3, Purchaser does not release or discharge Seller from any claim for contribution or payment that Purchaser may have against Seller under applicable law arising from or related to Purchaser’s remediation of Hazardous Materials as ordered by any governmental agency or authority as a result of the release of any Hazardous Materials at the Property by Seller or during Seller’s period of ownership or possession.

        11.4      “Hazardous Materials” Defined.

        12.6      Entirety and Amendments. This Agreement embodies the entire agreement between the parties and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings relating to the Property.

        12.8      Confidentiality. Purchaser shall make no public announcement or disclosure of any information related to this Agreement to outside brokers or third parties, before or after the Closing, without the prior written specific consent of Seller; provided, however, that Purchaser

-27-


may, subject to the provisions of Section 4.7, make disclosure of this Agreement to its Permitted Outside Parties as necessary to perform its obligations hereunder and as may be required under laws or regulations applicable to Purchaser.

        12.9      Notices. All notices required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and shall be served on the parties at the addresses set forth in Section 1.3.

A party’s address may be changed by written notice to the other party; provided, however, that no notice of a change of address shall be effective until actual receipt of such notice.

Notices given by counsel to the Purchaser shall be deemed given by Purchaser and notices given by counsel to the Seller shall be deemed given by Seller.

        12.10      Construction. The parties acknowledge that the parties and their counsel have reviewed and revised this Agreement and agree 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.

        12.11      Calculation of Time Periods; Business Day. Unless otherwise specified, in computing any period of time described herein, the day of the act or event after which the designated period of time begins to run is not to be included and the last day of the period so computed is to be included, unless such last day is not a Business Day, in which event the period shall run until the end of the next day which is a Business Day. The last day of any period of time described herein shall be deemed to end at 5:00 p.m. local time in the state in which the Real Property is located. As used herein, the term “Business Day” means any day that is not a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday for national banks in the city in which the Real Property is located.

        12.12      Execution in Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, and all of such counterparts shall constitute one Agreement.

        12.13      Recordation. Without the prior written consent of Seller, there shall be no recordation of either this Agreement or any memorandum hereof, or any affidavit pertaining hereto, and any such recordation of this Agreement or memorandum or affidavit by Purchaser without the prior written consent of Seller shall constitute a default hereunder by Purchaser, whereupon Seller shall have the remedies set forth in Section 10.1 hereof. In addition to any such remedies, Purchaser shall be obligated to execute an instrument in recordable form

-28-


releasing any such Agreement, memorandum or affidavit filed in violation of this Agreement (but such release of record shall not release or otherwise terminate this Agreement if there exists no default by Purchaser following the release of record and this Agreement has not otherwise been terminate or expired), and Purchaser’s obligations pursuant to this Section 12.13 shall survive any termination of this Agreement as a surviving obligation.

        12.14      Further Assurances.

        12.15      Intentionally Omitted.

        12.16      ERISA. Under no circumstances shall Purchaser 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 advisors or consultants, create or otherwise cause a “prohibited transaction” under ERISA. In the event Purchaser assigns this Agreement or transfers any ownership interest in Purchaser, and such assignment or transfer would make the consummation of the transaction hereunder a “prohibited transaction” under ERISA and necessitate the termination of this Agreement then, notwithstanding any contrary provision which may be contained herein, Seller shall have the right to terminate this Agreement.

        12.17      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 Purchaser 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.

        12.18      Reporting Person. Purchaser and Seller hereby designate the Title Company as the “reporting person” pursuant to the provisions of Section 6045(e) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

        12.19      Post-Closing Access. From and after the Closing for a period of 120 days (and such longer period if necessary for Seller to cure a default hereunder), the Purchaser will, at Seller’s sole cost and expense, permit Seller and Seller’s agents and representatives access (and will permit copying of materials pertaining to the period prior to the Closing), during business hours from time to time, to the Lease Files and other Property-related information upon reasonable advance notice to the Purchaser. This Section 12.19 shall survive the Closing.

        12.20      Post-Closing Audit. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Purchaser, upon reasonable prior notice to Seller, shall have the right, at any time after the expiration of the Inspection Period (provided that Purchaser shall not have terminated this Agreement pursuant to Section 4.4), and for a period of 120 days following the Closing, at Purchaser’s expense, to audit and/or to have prepared audited financial statements for the

-29-


Property for the period covering Seller’s ownership of the Property. Such audit shall include all books and records relating to the Property in Seller’s possession or control, including, but not limited to, revenue and expense supporting documents, deposits, bank statements, invoices and other similar documentation. Seller agrees to execute a standard form of engagement and representation letter in form reasonably satisfactory to Seller with a big four accounting firm, as auditor in connection with the audit, provided that (i) such letter expressly provides that all costs and fees of such audit shall be paid by Purchaser, and (ii) at the time of the engagement of such auditor, Purchaser shall deposit with Seller an amount equal to 110% of the estimated cost and fees of such audit (the “Audit Deposit”), with the balance, if any, of such Audit Deposit to be returned to Purchaser after completion of the audit and payment of all such costs and expenses of the audit. Seller agrees to cooperate with Purchaser in granting Purchaser, its agents, representatives and employees access to all books, records and documentation in Seller’s possession or control, so that it and its auditors may timely and fully complete such audit. Seller shall have the right to use the Audit Deposit to pay the costs and fees of the audit. If the Audit Deposit is not sufficient to pay all of the costs and fees of the audit, Purchaser shall, within ten (10) days after request, reimburse Seller for all costs and fees incurred in connection with such audit not paid for from the Audit Deposit, and Purchaser shall indemnify and hold harmless Seller from all costs and fees of the auditor engaged in connection with such audit. Should this Agreement terminate and the Closing not occur, Purchaser shall still be obligated to reimburse Seller for all costs and fees incurred in connection with such audit and shall indemnify and hold harmless Seller from all costs and fees of Purchaser’s auditor in connection with such audit. The terms of this Section shall survive the Closing and the delivery of the Deed.
