ARTICLE II TITLE SECTION 2.1 Title Inspection Period. During the period beginning upon the Effective Date and ending at 5:00 p.m. (local time at the Property) on July 30, 2004 (hereinafter referred to as the "Title Inspection Period"), Purchaser shall have the right to review: (a) a current preliminary title report on the Real Property (the "PTR") issued by Chicago Title Company (the "Title Company"), accompanied by copies of all documents referred to in the report; (b) copies of the most recent property tax bills for the Property; and (c) an ALTA survey of the Real Property prepared by a licensed surveyor (the "Survey"). Item (a) shall be obtained by Purchaser within five (5) days after the Effective Date. Item (c) shall be obtained by Purchaser within forty-five (45) days after the Effective Date. Item (b) shall be delivered by Seller to Purchaser within five (5) business days after the Effective Date. SECTION 2.2 Title Examination. Purchaser shall notify Seller in writing (the "Title Notice") prior to the expiration of the Title Inspection Period which exceptions to title (including survey matters), if any, will not be accepted by Purchaser. If Purchaser fails to notify Seller in writing of its disapproval of any exceptions to title by the expiration of the Title Inspection Period, Purchaser shall be deemed to have approved the condition of title to the Real Property. If Purchaser notifies Seller in writing that Purchaser objects to any exceptions to title, Seller shall have five (5) business days after receipt of the Title Notice to notify Purchaser of either of the following: (a) that Seller will remove such objectionable exceptions from title on or before the Closing; or (b) that Seller elects not to cause such exceptions to be removed. If Seller fails to notify Purchaser within such five-business-day period, then Seller shall be deemed to have made an election under the foregoing clause (b). Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Agreement, all deeds of trust, mortgages and other monetary liens caused by Seller (but not non-delinquent improvement or public facilities bonds) disclosed in the PTR are to be satisfied by Seller. The procurement by Seller of a commitment for the issuance of the Title Policy (as defined in Section 2.5 hereof) or an endorsement thereto insuring Purchaser against any title exception which was disapproved pursuant to this Section 2.2 shall be deemed a cure by Seller of such disapproval. If Seller gives Purchaser notice under clause (b) above, Purchaser shall have three (3) business days after the date of such notice in which to notify Seller that Purchaser will nevertheless proceed with the purchase in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and take title to the Property subject to such exceptions, or that Purchaser will terminate this Agreement. Purchaser's failure to respond within such three-business-day period shall be deemed an election to terminate this Agreement. If, despite Seller's election to eliminate any disapproved exception under clause (a) above, the exception has not been eliminated on or before the Closing, Purchaser, at its option and sole discretion, may either: (a) elect in writing to waive its prior disapproval; or (b) treat the failure to eliminate the exception as a failure of a contingency under this Agreement, in which event the Escrow shall be cancelled and this Agreement shall be terminated. If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this paragraph, then neither party shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder (except for any indemnity obligations of either party pursuant to the other provisions -4- of this Agreement), the Deposit shall be returned to Purchaser and each party shall bear its own costs incurred hereunder. SECTION 2.3 Pre-Closing "Gap" Title Defects. Purchaser may, at or prior to Closing, notify Seller in writing (the "Gap Notice") of any objections to title: (a) raised by the Title Company between the expiration of the Title Inspection Period and the Closing; and (b) not disclosed by the Title Company or otherwise known to Purchaser prior to the expiration of the Title Inspection Period; provided that Purchaser must notify Seller of such objection to title within two (2) business days of being made aware of the existence of such exception. If Purchaser sends a Gap Notice to Seller, Purchaser and Seller shall have the same rights and obligations with respect to such notice as apply to a Title Notice under Section 2.2 hereof. SECTION 2.4 Permitted Exceptions. The Property shall be conveyed subject to the following matters, which are hereinafter referred to as the "Permitted Exceptions": (a) those matters (including, without limitation, the exceptions disclosed in the PTR) that either are not objected to in writing within the time periods provided in Sections 2.2 or 2.3 hereof, or if objected to in writing by Purchaser, are those which Seller has elected not to remove or cure, or has been unable to remove or cure, and subject to which Purchaser has elected or is deemed to have elected to accept the conveyance of the Property; (b) the lien of all ad valorem real estate taxes and assessments not yet due and payable as of the date of Closing, subject to adjustment as herein provided; (c) local, state and federal laws, ordinances or governmental regulations, including but not limited to, building and zoning laws, ordinances and regulations, now or hereafter in effect relating to the Property; (d) items shown on the Survey and not objected to by Purchaser or waived or deemed waived by Purchaser in accordance with Section 2.2 or Section 2.3 hereof; and (e) rights of tenants under leases affecting the Property. SECTION 2.5 Conveyance of Title. At Closing, Seller shall convey and transfer to Purchaser fee simple title to the Land and Improvements, by execution and delivery of the Deed (as defined in Section 4.2(a) hereof) and Escrow Agent shall obtain the irrevocable commitment of the Title Company to issue an ALTA Owner's Policy of Title Insurance (the "Title Policy") covering the Real Property, in the full amount of the Purchase Price, subject only to the Permitted Exceptions. ARTICLE III REVIEW OF PROPERTY SECTION 3.1 Right of Physical Inspection. During the period beginning upon the Effective Date and ending at 5:00 p.m. (local time at the Property) on the July 30, 2004 (the "Inspection Period"), Purchaser, its agents, employees, and independent contractors, shall have the right to make a physical inspection of the Real Property and perform an environmental, soil, -5- geological or other assessment on the Property pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Purchaser understands and agrees that any on-site inspections or environmental assessments of the Property shall occur at reasonable times agreed upon by Seller and Purchaser after reasonable prior written notice to Seller and shall be conducted so as not to interfere unreasonably with the use of the Property by Seller or the tenants of the Property. Seller reserves the right to have a representative present during any such inspections and the right to review any physical or invasive testing of the Property. Purchaser shall promptly restore the Real Property to its prior condition following any such inspections or assessments, at Purchaser's sole cost and expense. At Seller's option, Purchaser will furnish to Seller copies of any reports received by Purchaser relating to any inspections of the Property. Purchaser agrees to protect, indemnify, defend and hold Seller harmless from and against any claim for liabilities, losses, costs, expenses (including reasonable attorneys fees), damages or injuries arising out of or resulting from the inspection of the Property by Purchaser or its agents or consultants, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, such obligation to indemnify, defend and hold harmless shall survive Closing or any termination of this Agreement. Purchaser shall maintain, and shall assure that its contractors maintain, public liability insurance and property damage insurance in amounts and in form and substance adequate to insure against all liability of Purchaser and its agents, employees or contractors, arising out of any entry or inspections of the Property pursuant to the provisions hereof, and Purchaser shall provide Seller with evidence of such insurance coverage prior to Purchaser's entry on the Property. SECTION 3.2 Document Inspection Seller shall make available (and copy if requested) all of the following to Purchaser within two (2) business days after the Effective Date to the extent that such items are in the possession of Seller or are reasonably obtainable by Seller: (a) copies of any environmental, physical, condition, ADA and other reports relating to the Property in Seller's possession; (b) a list and complete copies of all Operating Agreements, including any amendments and other documents pertaining hereto; (c) plans, permits, specifications and certificates of occupancy for the Real Property; (d) all other reports, surveys, or other written information (including, without limitation, any notices with respect to the Property received from any governmental agency) in Seller's possession relating to the Property, other than Seller's appraisals, partnership or limited liability company documents, tax returns, financial statements, or other internally prepared financial information or assessments relating to the Seller's entities; (e) the last 36 months utility bills and other operating expenses for the Real Property; (f) existing insurance policies for the Property; -6- (g) existing leases, licenses, permits and certificates pertaining to the Property; and (h) such other files, books, records, documents, profit and loss statements, balance sheets and other materials specifically relating to the operation of the Property.

During the period beginning on the Effective Date and ending at 5:00 p.m. (local time at the Property) on July 30, 2004 (the "Due Diligence Period"), if for any reason Purchaser, in its sole discretion, determines that the Property, its tenants, or any aspect thereof is unsuitable for Purchaser's acquisition, Purchaser shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by giving written notice thereof to the Seller, and if such notice is given, this Agreement shall terminate. If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this paragraph, then neither party shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder (except for any indemnity obligations of either party pursuant to the other provisions of this Agreement), the Deposit shall be immediately returned to Purchaser without any action being necessary, and each party shall bear its own costs incurred hereunder. If Purchaser fails to give Seller a notice of termination prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, Purchaser shall be deemed to have approved all aspects of the Property (except title and Survey, which shall be governed by Article II hereof) and to have elected to proceed with the purchase of the Property pursuant to the terms hereof. ARTICLE IV CLOSING SECTION 4.1 Time and Place. The consummation of the transaction contemplated hereby (the "Closing") shall be consummated within five (5) business days of the date Purchaser, or its successor in interest closes upon its initial public offering, but not later than July 30, 2004, through an escrow closing administered by Escrow Agent pursuant to joint instructions from Seller and Purchaser. At the Closing, Seller and Purchaser shall perform the obligations set forth in, respectively, Section 4.2 and Section 4.3 hereof, the performance of which obligations shall be concurrent conditions. The Closing shall be held at the offices of Escrow Agent set forth in Section 1.4.

If Purchaser is unable to execute its initial public offering by the end of the 90 day option period, Seller or Purchaser shall have the right to terminate this Agreement without incurring any liability to the other and Purchaser's Deposit and Option Deposit, if any, and all accrued interest thereon will be returned to Purchaser pursuant to Section 4.6. Except by reason of the failure of a condition precedent as set forth in Section 4.6, Purchaser shall have no right to terminate this Agreement after expiration of the Title Inspection Period and Due Diligence Period. On the Closing, the Deposit, the Option Deposit, if any, shall be credited against the Purchase Price and the balance of the Purchase Price shall be paid by Purchaser to Seller through Escrow Agent.

Any sums collected by Seller or Purchaser from tenants after the Closing shall be applied as provided in this Section 4.4. If a tenant shall specifically designate a payment as being attributable to, or if it is readily ascertainable that a payment received from a tenant is attributable to a specific period of time or for a specific purpose, including, without limitation, for operating expenses or real estate tax payments which were not paid or were underpaid by such tenant or for reimbursement for work performed by Seller on the tenant's premises, such payment shall be so applied. If there is no such designation or if not so readily ascertainable, any payment received from a tenant after Closing shall be deemed a payment of rent due after the Closing until the tenant is current on rents and sums due under the applicable lease on or after the Closing, and then such payments shall be paid to Seller to the extent of any rent or other sums owing to Seller for periods prior to Closing. Purchaser shall use reasonable efforts to collect such rents and other sums owing to Seller. Seller retains the right to collect any such rents and other sums from tenants after Closing; provided, however, that Seller shall have no right to cause any such tenant to be evicted or to exercise any other landlord remedy against such tenant other than to sue for collection.

Seller shall receive credits at Closing for the amount of any utility or other deposits with respect to the Property. Purchaser shall cause all utilities in Seller's name to be transferred into Purchaser's name and account at the time of Closing. -9- Seller and Purchaser hereby agree that if any of the aforesaid prorations and credits cannot be calculated accurately on the Closing Date, then the same shall be calculated as soon as reasonably practicable after the Closing Date, and either party owing the other party a sum of money based on such subsequent proration(s) or credits shall pay said sum to the other party within ten (10) days thereafter. Upon request of either party, the parties shall provide a detailed and accurate written statement signed by such party certifying as to the payments received by such party from tenants from and after Closing and to the manner in which such payments were applied, and shall make their books and records available for inspection by the other party during ordinary business hours upon reasonable advance notice.
