     1. Agreement of Purchase and Sale. Seller hereby agrees to sell and convey the Property to Purchaser, and Purchaser hereby agrees to purchase the Property from Seller, at the Purchase Price (as hereinafter defined) and upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, Purchaser must acquire and Seller must sell all of the Projects or none of the Projects pursuant to this Agreement, and any termination of this Agreement by Purchaser or Seller shall be deemed a termination of this Agreement with respect to all of the Projects; provided, however, that should Seller be in default under this Agreement, and as a result of such default, unable to convey one or more Projects to Purchaser at Closing in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, Purchaser may elect by delivery of written notice to Seller to purchase only those Projects which Seller is able to convey in compliance with this Agreement, and this Agreement shall be deemed modified accordingly.
     2. Title.
          A. Purchaser shall have until 5:00 p.m. local time at the Property on the date which is five (5) business days prior to the expiration of the Feasibility Period (as defined below) (the “Title/Survey Review Period”) to obtain a title insurance commitment (the “Title Commitment”) for, a Survey (the “Survey”) of, the Property and to make written objection to Seller of any exceptions, defects or conditions shown on the Title Commitment and/or the Survey to which Purchaser objects (collectively, “Purchaser’s Objections”).

Failure by Purchaser to waive such Purchaser’s Objections shall be deemed Purchaser’s election to terminate this Agreement. All matters not agreed to be removed by the Title Company and not objected to by Purchaser by notice to Seller or which Purchaser has waived shall be deemed to be “Permitted Exceptions.
          B.

          B. In the event Seller elects to accept “Units” in Purchaser as all or any portion of the Purchase Price in accordance with the provisions of Section 22, below, then the Cash Portion shall be reduced (or further reduced) by the “Unit Value” determined in accordance with Section 22.
          C. In the event Purchaser elects to have all of the Existing Loans prepaid or defeased at Closing in accordance with the provisions of Section 21, below, and Seller does not elect to accept Units, the Cash Portion shall be the full amount of the Purchase Price.

At Closing (as hereinafter defined) hereunder, the Deposit, together with all interest thereon, shall be applied against the Purchase Price.
          B.

Seller shall deliver to Purchaser upon Purchaser’s request from time to time such information requested by Purchaser regarding the identity of Seller in order for Purchaser to comply with the Patriot Act, the OFAC Laws and Regulations and such other anti-terrorism and anti-money laundering laws and regulations.
          F. Intentionally Deleted.

If Purchaser elects to terminate, Purchaser shall be entitled to a refund of the Deposit without any further action required by any party and, in such event, neither party shall have any further obligation to the other, except to the extent that such failure occurred due to the default of either party hereunder and except as otherwise expressly provided herein.

All security deposits (including, but not limited to, letters of credit which serve as security deposits), key deposits and other deposits of any kind which are held by Seller shall be transferred to Purchaser on the Closing Date, at which time and upon its receipt of same, Purchaser shall assume liability for the return of such amounts which have been transferred to Purchaser to the persons who deposited such amounts with Seller. All rents which are collected after the Closing Date shall be applied first towards rent which is due and payable for the month in which collected, and thereafter towards rent coming due after the Closing Date. Purchaser shall be entitled, but shall not be obligated, to collect all rents which were due and unpaid as of the Closing Date, and all such rents which are actually collected shall be paid to Seller and payment to Purchaser of that portion of such rents which relates to the period between the Closing Date and the last day of the month during which the Closing Date occurs; provided, however, that Seller shall retain the right to pursue (including through litigation other than suits for possession of leased premises at the Property) the collection of any rents which were due and unpaid as of the Closing Date. Seller shall arrange for the rendition of final bills by the utility companies involved as of the Closing Date. If data is not available on the Closing Date to make a final adjustment of any of the foregoing items, then such adjustment(s) shall be made on the best information then available and adjusted finally when the appropriate final data is obtained, at which time Purchaser or Seller, as applicable, shall reimburse the other party for the amount of any overpayment or underpayment, as applicable.
          B. Except as may otherwise be provided in this Agreement, expenses of examination of title, title insurance, survey, and one-half of any escrow fees shall be paid by Purchaser, Seller shall pay the cost of removing all Curable Matters (other than Prepayment and Defeasance Costs as defined below) pursuant to Article 2 hereof and the cost of preparation of the closing documents to be delivered by Seller to the Escrow Agent at Closing and one-half of any escrow fees (not to exceed $1,500 per property per party), and Seller and Purchaser shall each pay one-half of the Virginia grantor’s tax and all other recordation taxes and charges with respect to the deed described in Article 11.A.(i) hereof, however the same may be designated. Purchaser shall pay all such recordation taxes and charges with respect to any mortgage(s) or deed(s) of trust which Purchaser places against the Property. Each party shall pay for the legal fees of its respective attorneys, accountants and consultants in connection with this transaction. Purchaser shall pay or reimburse to Seller at Closing all prepayment, yield maintenance or similar fees required to satisfy all

13


 

Mortgage Liens, and all fees, lender attorney fees, and other costs, expenses and other amounts of any kind necessary to complete the assumption or defeasance transaction described in Section 21, below (the “Prepayment and Defeasance Costs”); provided that Seller shall pay the outstanding principal and accrued interest, any delinquent amounts and all other amounts owed on account of the debt secured by the Mortgage Liens as of Closing immediately preceding such assumption or defeasance, and any lender attorney fees incurred as the result of Seller requesting changes to assumption or defeasance documentation otherwise acceptable to Purchaser. At Closing, either (i) all amounts held as reserves or impounds on account of the Existing Loans will be released to Seller, or (ii) Seller shall receive a credit in the amount of, and Purchaser shall assume, all such reserves or impounds.
          C. Except as otherwise stated in this Agreement and except for any leasing commissions owed (i) for any renewal term of any Lease which is exercised after the Closing Date and (ii) in the event The Boeing Company, Mantech Systems Engineering or Orion International Consulting Group does not exercise the termination option given in its Lease, Seller shall pay by Closing all leasing commissions and any tenant improvement costs due with respect to any Leases existing as of the Effective Date. Except as otherwise stated in this Agreement, any tenant improvement costs or leasing commissions incurred with respect to any Leases executed between the Effective Date and Closing shall be reimbursed to Seller at Closing or assumed by Purchaser.
13. Default. If Purchaser shall fail or refuse to make settlement hereunder as herein required and Seller is not in default hereunder, the Deposit and all interest accrued thereon, if any, shall be paid to Seller as its sole and exclusive remedy as agreed and liquidated damages for such default, whereupon this Agreement shall become null and void and of no further force or effect. It is hereby agreed that Seller’s damages in the event of a default by Purchaser hereunder are uncertain and impossible to ascertain, and that the Deposit constitutes a reasonable liquidation of such damages and is intended not as a penalty, but as full liquidated damages. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Article 13, Purchaser shall remain liable for its indemnification obligations pursuant to Articles 6 and 15.A. hereof. If Seller defaults in its obligation to sell and convey the Property to Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement, Purchaser’s sole remedy shall be to elect one of the following: (a) to terminate this Agreement, in which event Purchaser shall be entitled to the return by the Escrow Agent to Purchaser of the Deposit and recovery of Purchaser’s actual out-of-pocket expenses in entering into this Agreement and performing its obligations hereunder, or (b) to bring a suit for specific performance provided that any suit for specific performance must be brought within 60 days of Seller’s default, to the extent permitted by law, Purchaser hereby waives the right to bring suit at any later date; provided, however, that if specific performance is not a remedy available to Purchaser due to the willful or intentional act of Seller (such as the prior conveyance of the Property to third party in violation of this Agreement), then in lieu of specific performance, Purchaser shall have the right to recover to pursue any and all available remedies, at law or in equity. .
     14. Risk of Loss; Condemnation. Risk of loss or damage from fire, other casualty, or both, is assumed by Seller until the Closing is concluded subject to the following provisions. In the event that any portion of the Property is destroyed or rendered uninhabitable by fire or other casualty:

14


 

          A. If the total damage to all of the Property, as determined by the insurance adjuster, is not more than $500,000, (i) Purchaser shall complete settlement and all insurance proceeds shall be paid to Purchaser, and (ii) Seller shall pay to Purchaser on the Closing Date the full amount of any deductible and all uninsured or underinsured amounts under Seller’s fire and extended coverage insurance policy.
          B. If the total damage to all of the Property, as determined by the insurance adjuster, is more than $500,000, Purchaser shall have the option to (i) complete settlement hereunder and collect all available insurance proceeds, in which case Seller shall pay to Purchaser on the Closing Date the full amount of any deductible and all uninsured or underinsured amounts under Seller’s fire and extended coverage insurance policy, or (ii) cancel this Agreement and receive a refund of the Deposit.
          C. If any material portion of the Property, which for the purpose of this Article 15.C. shall mean more than ten percent (10%) of the aggregate rentable square footage of any Building, any access to any Project or more than ten percent (10%) of the square footage of the Land located at any of the Projects, is condemned by any governmental authority under its power of eminent domain or becomes the subject of a notice of condemnation, Purchaser may elect to terminate this Agreement, in which event the Deposit and all interest accrued thereon shall be returned to Purchaser and the parties shall have no further liability to each other hereunder, or Purchaser may elect to complete settlement hereunder, in which event Seller shall assign to Purchaser all of Seller’s right, title and interest in and to any condemnation awards, whether pending or already paid. Following the expiration of the Feasibility Period, Purchaser and Seller shall cooperate during the pendency of any such condemnation proceeding to negotiate and otherwise deal with the condemning authority in respect of such matter.
     15. Miscellaneous.
          A. The parties hereto represent and warrant to each other that there has been no broker, sales representative or agent involved in this transaction who would be entitled to a commission or other compensation, except CB Richard Ellis of Virginia, Inc., which has represented Seller. Seller shall pay CB Richard Ellis of Virginia, Inc. any real estate commission due to CB Richard Ellis of Virginia, Inc. pursuant to separate agreement with Seller. Purchaser agrees to and does hereby indemnify and hold Seller harmless of and from any and all claims, damages, actions, or suits (including all court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or relating to any alleged agreement by Purchaser to pay a commission or other compensation to any broker, sales representative or agent, other than CB Richard Ellis of Virginia, Inc., in connection with this transaction, and Seller agrees to and does hereby indemnify and hold Purchaser harmless of and from any and all claims, damages, actions or suits (including all court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or relating to any alleged agreement by Seller to pay a commission or other compensation to any broker, sales representative or agent in connection with this transaction.
          B. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. This Agreement contains the entire agreement between the parties hereto and there are no promises, agreements, conditions,

15


 

undertakings, warranties or representations, oral or written, express or implied, between them other than as herein expressly contained or referred to. No waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be valid unless in writing and signed by the parties against whom it is sought to be enforced.
          C. Except with respect to the representation and warranty by Purchaser set forth in Article 8 hereof, indemnification obligations of Purchaser set forth in Articles 6 and 15.A. hereof, and the indemnification obligation of Seller set forth in Article 15.A. hereof, all of which shall remain operative, the representations, warranties and covenants contained in this Agreement shall remain operative for twelve (12) months following the Closing Date and shall thereafter be of no force or effect. If Closing shall have occurred, the aggregate liability of Seller for damages arising pursuant to or in connection with the representations, warranties, indemnifications, covenants or other obligations (whether expressed or implied) of Seller under this Agreement (or any document executed or delivered in connection herewith) shall not exceed $600,000. In addition, Purchaser shall have no recourse against Seller until the aggregate claims for the foregoing exceed $25,000.00.
          D. This Agreement shall be construed and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia.
          E. Prior to Closing this Agreement shall not be assignable by Purchaser except to any entity owned or controlled by Purchaser. However, at Closing and at the written request of Purchaser, Seller shall convey the Property directly to such third parties as Purchaser directs, including, without limitation, purchasers of tenant in common interests in the Property, provided that Purchaser is not released from any of its obligations hereunder.
          F. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, and all counterparts so executed shall constitute one Agreement of Sale, binding upon all of the parties hereto, notwithstanding that all of the parties are not signatory to the original or the same counterpart.
          G. All notices and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given (i) upon receipt, if delivered by hand or sent via facsimile or (ii) if mailed, upon deposit with the United States Postal Service, postage prepaid, by certified mail, return receipt requested, or (iii) upon deposit with Federal Express or any other nationally recognized overnight courier service , prepaid, for delivery the next business day:

     16. As-Is Condition. The parties recognize and agree that Purchaser is acquiring the Property in “AS-IS, WHERE-IS” condition with all faults. Purchaser hereby acknowledges that it shall be acquiring the Property in reliance solely upon its own investigations, studies and due diligence. Without limiting the foregoing, Purchaser stipulates and agrees that, except as expressly provided in this Agreement, it shall purchase the Property without any representation, indemnification or warranty whatsoever by Seller relating to the Property, including, but not limited to, the express warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose.

17


 

     17. Special Conditions Regarding Leasing.
          A. Seller has executed and delivered a lease for Suite 400 in Twin Oaks I consisting of 6,372 rentable square feet to Zimm American and shall promptly deliver a copy thereof to Purchaser for its review during the Feasibility Period. Seller shall be responsible for all transaction costs relating to such lease, including, but not limited to, payment of tenant improvement allowances and all commissions. To the extent a lease for Suite 400 is executed before Closing and any such costs and expenses are not paid by the Closing Date, Seller shall provide Purchaser a credit at Closing for the balance of any unpaid costs and expenses.
          B. On or about March 23, 2006, Seller executed a renewal of the current lease with Chasen’s Business Interiors for Suite 100 of Twin Oaks II consisting of 6,895 rentable square feet. Seller shall be responsible for all transaction costs, including, but not limited to, tenant improvement allowances and all commissions owed under such renewal lease. If any such costs and expenses have not been paid by the Closing Date, Seller shall provide a credit to Purchaser at Closing in an amount equal to such unpaid costs and expenses and the Purchaser shall then assume payment of such unpaid amounts to Seller’s contractor which shall complete the work. This renewal lease provides for a tenant improvement allowance not to exceed $8.00 per rentable square foot and that any amounts over such allowance must be paid by the tenant to the landlord. If Seller has paid more than such allowance as of the Closing Date, then Purchaser shall reimburse Seller at Closing for the amount of such excess payment solely to the extent the tenant has not paid such amount to Seller.
          C. Seller, as tenant, and Purchaser, as landlord, agree to execute a lease at Closing for Suite 103 in Twin Oaks I consisting of 4,908 rentable square feet, which is the current space occupied by Seller. The base rent shall be Nineteen Dollars ($19.00) per rentable square foot, on a full service basis, with annual rent escalations of three percent (3.0%). There shall be no tenant improvement allowance or commissions owed by Purchaser. The lease shall provide for a term of three (3) years, granting to Seller the right to terminate the lease, effective as of the end of any full lease year, upon one hundred eighty (180) days prior written notice to Purchaser. The lease shall be on Seller’s standard lease form for Twin Oaks I, or on such other form as is acceptable to Purchaser, in its reasonable discretion.
          D. Two of the Leases include leases for Suites 301 and 302 of Southport Centre consisting of 4,460 square feet with Lawyer’s Escrow and Seniors First. Purchaser shall pay or reimburse Seller at Closing for any tenant improvement costs and leasing commissions paid or owed with respect to such leases for Suites 301 and 302 provided that tenant improvement costs shall not exceed $16.00 per square foot, and leasing commissions shall not exceed $1.51 per square foot.
     18. Time Is Of The Essence. Time is of the essence of this Agreement in each and every term and provision hereof.
     19. Attorney Fees. If 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 defaulting party or the party not prevailing in such dispute, as the case may be,

18


 

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 legal fees.
     20. Tax-Deferred Exchange. Purchaser and Seller acknowledge that either party may wish to structure this transaction as a tax-deferred exchange of like-kind property within the meaning of Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code. Each party agrees to reasonably cooperate with the other party to effect such an exchange; provided, however, that (a) the cooperating party shall not be required to acquire or take title to any exchange property, (b) the cooperating party shall not be required to incur any expense or liability whatsoever in connection with the exchange, including, without limitation, any obligation for the payment of any escrow, title, brokerage or other costs including attorneys’ fees incurred with respect to the exchange, (c) no substitution of the effectuating party shall release said party from any of its obligations, warranties or representations set forth in this Agreement or from liability for any prior or subsequent default under this Agreement by the effectuating party, its successors, or assigns, which obligations shall continue as the obligations of a principal and not of a surety or guarantor, (d) the effectuating party shall give the cooperating party at least two (2) business days prior notice of the proposed changes required to effect such exchange and the identity of any party to be substituted in the escrow, (e) the effectuating party shall be responsible for preparing all additional agreements, documents and escrow instructions (collectively, the “Exchange Documents”) required by the exchange, at its sole cost and expense, (f) the effectuating party shall be responsible for making all determinations as to the legal sufficiency, tax considerations and other considerations relating to the proposed exchange, the Exchange Documents and the transactions contemplated thereby, and the cooperating party shall in no event be responsible for, or in any way be deemed to warrant or represent any tax or other consequences of the exchange transaction, and (g) the election to effect such an exchange shall not delay the Closing of the transaction as defined herein.
     21. Existing Loans. As part of the Property Information, Seller agrees to provide to Purchaser and its counsel full and complete copies of all documents (collectively, the “Existing Loan Documents”) evidencing or securing the Mortgage Liens and the loans secured thereby (individually, an “Existing Loan”, and collectively, the “Existing Loans”). Within 10 days following the execution and delivery of this Agreement, Purchaser shall contact each lender to investigate the feasibility of assuming each Existing Loan, and during the Feasibility Period, Purchaser must elect as to each Existing Loan by delivery of written notice to Seller:
     (i) that such loan be paid in full at Closing (provided the same is permitted to be prepaid under the terms of the Existing Loan Documents), or if payment is prohibited but defeasance is permitted, defeased, in which case Seller shall be responsible for the principal amount and all other amounts due on account of such Existing Loan, with Purchaser being responsible for any prepayment penalty or defeasance costs and all other Prepayment and Defeasance Costs; or
     (ii) that Purchaser assume such loan (provided the same is permitted to be assumed under the terms of the Existing Loan Documents), without modification of the Existing Loan Documents except as otherwise approved by Purchaser, in which event the Cash Portion of the Purchase Price will be reduced by the principal amount and delinquent amounts due on account of such Existing Loan as provided in Section 3A, with Purchaser being responsible for any assumption fees and all

19


 

other Prepayment and Defeasance Costs; provided, however, that such election shall be conditioned upon the applicable lender agreeing that Seller and any guarantor of the applicable loan shall be released from any post-closing obligations.
     Once an election has been made by Purchaser to assume a loan, following expiration of the Feasibility Period, should Purchaser be unwilling or unable to proceed with the loan assumption due to conditions imposed by the applicable lender or any other cause other than Seller’s default hereunder or under the Existing Loan Documents, Purchaser shall nonetheless be obligated to proceed to closing with respect to the applicable Property either by prepaying or defeasing the applicable loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, if permitted by the Existing Loan Documents.
     Purchaser and Seller shall each use its good faith reasonable efforts to secure any consent or approval necessary to prepay, assume or defease each Existing Loan, including, but not limited to, supplying Lender with such information as Lender shall require, as soon as reasonably possible following the Effective Date. Purchaser and Seller shall each act in good faith to execute and deliver all documents and agreements necessary to effect the prepayment, assumption or defeasance of each Existing Loan. Any assumption documentation shall include the lender’s certification as to the absence of defaults, confirmation of all amounts due, and such other information as Purchaser shall reasonably request.
     Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 1, and despite the parties’ good faith efforts to close on all Properties at the same time, should the timing of necessary consents and approvals be such that Purchaser and the applicable lender are in a position to complete the applicable prepayment, assumption or defeasance on one or more, but not all, of the Properties, Purchaser shall have the right and option to elect to close the purchase of such Properties and defer the closing for those Properties which remain, in which event the following shall apply:
     (i) Purchaser shall provide Seller and Escrow Agent not less than five (5) business days prior written notice of its election, whereupon the Agreement shall be deemed to constitute four separate agreements, one for the purchase and sale of each of the Properties, subject, however, to Section 1 of this Agreement, for the purchase price allocated to that Property as set forth on Schedule 3.
     (ii) the Deposit and any interest thereon held by Escrow Agent shall not be allocated, credited to the Purchase Price or released until the closing for the last remaining Property (except in the event of a default).
     (iii) All other terms of this Agreement shall apply to each transaction as appropriate in the context of the applicable Property.
     22. Unit Election. At Seller’s election, which shall be exercised by the delivery of written notice to Buyer not less than ten (10) business days prior to expiration of the Feasibility Period, Seller shall have the right to receive limited partnership units in Purchaser (“Units”), in lieu of cash for all or any portion of the Purchase Price as set forth in such notice, subject to the conditions set forth in this Paragraph. In the event of such election, Seller and Purchaser shall execute an

20


 

amendment to this Agreement, setting forth the terms and conditions of the exchange of the Units. The number of Units to be delivered shall be determined by dividing (i) that portion of the Purchase Price to be payable by Units by (b) $8.50 (the “Unit Value”). The Units will be subject to a minimum one year holding period and other restrictions customarily associated with an exchange of property interests for interests in an operating partnership. Seller shall pay one-half of all transactional costs and expenses associated with the exchange of the Units, including, without limitation, any and all legal fees incurred by Purchaser in preparing the amendment, the registration rights agreement, and the other documentation involved in such exchange.
