DELIVERIES, INSPECTION AND REPRESENTATIONS
3.1 Inspection Period.
3.1.1 Contingency Date. By 5:00 p.m. Pacific Time on the earlier of (i) November 15,
2006, or (ii) the date that is fifteen (15) Business Days after the Effective Date hereof (said
time and date, the “Due Diligence Contingency Date”), Purchaser shall determine whether the
Property is suitable to purchase in Purchaser’s sole discretion. Purchaser shall have the right,
for any or no reason, to terminate this Agreement on or before the Due Diligence Contingency Date
and the Xxxxxxx Money shall be returned to Purchaser and neither party shall have any liability to
the other except for obligations which expressly survive termination (“Surviving
Obligations”). If Purchaser fails to deliver written notice to Seller exercising this
termination right on or before the Due Diligence Contingency Date, then the Xxxxxxx Money shall,
except as otherwise specifically set forth herein, be non-refundable to Purchaser and
Purchaser shall be conclusively deemed to have approved all aspects of the Property except as
otherwise specifically provided herein.
2
3.1.2 Deliveries. Seller has already delivered to Purchaser the documents, plans and
specifications, service contracts and other materials listed on Exhibit J attached hereto
and incorporated herein by this reference. Additionally, Seller has provided Purchaser with access
to a website with the information listed on Exhibit J under the heading “Made available via
Dynafile Website”. The documents, plans and specifications, service contracts and other
information listed on Exhibit J as well as any other non-proprietary or attorney-client
confidential documents or information in Seller’s or its property manager’s files, including, but
not limited to their lease files, are referred to herein as the “Property Documents”. By
executing this Agreement, Purchaser is acknowledging receipt and/or access to all of the Property
Documents listed on Exhibit J. Seller agrees to continue to provide Purchaser with access
to the Property Documents. Purchaser agrees and acknowledges that it is subject to the
confidentiality provision in Section 9.10 with regard to the documents and other
information provided by Seller under this Section 3.1.2.
3.1.3 Copies of Documents for Inspection. Purchaser, at its expense, may make copies
of the Property Documents. If this Agreement is terminated for any reason prior to Closing,
Purchaser shall, upon receipt of written request from Seller, promptly return all Property
Documents (and any copies thereof) in its possession or control to Seller, unless the same is
needed in connection with any action to be taken against Seller in connection with a default by
Seller hereunder.
3.1.4 No Representations as to Property Documents. Purchaser acknowledges that the
Property Documents are provided or made available for inspection with no representations or
warranties (except for Seller’s representations and warranties expressly set forth in Section
3.1.4, Section 4.2 and in the closing documents attached hereto as Exhibits) as to the truth,
accuracy, completeness, or methodology of preparation of the Property Documents, or otherwise, of
any kind, including without limitation any reports or audits or any other materials, data or other
information supplied to Purchaser in connection with Purchaser’s inspection of the Property.
Seller expressly disclaims any such representation or warranty (except for Seller’s representations
and warranties expressly set forth in Section 3.1.4, Section 4.2 and in the closing
documents attached hereto as Exhibits). Purchaser acknowledges that the Property Documents are
provided only for Purchaser’s convenience as a starting point for commencing Purchaser’s own
examination of the Property; provided, however, Seller represents that it has not intentionally
withheld any Property Documents from Purchaser. Purchaser agrees that, except for Seller’s
representations and warranties expressly set forth in Section 3.1.4, Section 4.2 and in the
closing documents attached hereto as Exhibits, it will rely exclusively on its own independent
investigation and evaluation of every aspect of the Property and not on the Property Documents
supplied by Seller. Except for Seller’s representations and warranties expressly set forth in
Section 3.1.4, Section 4.2 and in the closing documents attached hereto as Exhibits,
Purchaser expressly disclaims any intent and waives any right to rely on any of the Property
Documents provided to it by Seller, and agrees that it shall rely solely on its own independently
developed or verified information.
3.1.5 Right of Entry; Limitations.
(a) Right of Entry. Purchaser and its employees, agents and independent contractors,
at Purchaser’s sole risk, shall have from and after the Effective Date the
3
right to enter the
Property during normal business hours and upon prior notice to Seller to inspect the same, conduct
tenant interviews, perform surveys, engineering studies, environmental assessments and other tests
and to conduct such other investigations and activities consistent with the purposes of this
Agreement (each an “Inspection”). Except as expressly described otherwise in this
Section 3.1.5(a), Purchaser agrees and acknowledges that it and its employees, agents and
independent contractors shall not conduct an Inspection without being accompanied by a
representative of Seller. Purchaser must provide Seller with at least forty-eight (48) hours prior
notice of its desire to conduct an Inspection. After receipt of such notice from Purchaser, Seller
shall work with Purchaser to select a mutually agreeable date and time during normal business hours
for Purchaser or its employees, agents and independent contractors to conduct an Inspection
accompanied by Seller’s representative. If Seller and Purchaser fail to agree on date and time for
an Inspection because of Seller’s bad faith or Seller fails to provide a representative for an
Inspection at the agreed upon time and date, Purchaser shall be permitted to conduct the Inspection
without being accompanied by Seller or its representative. Purchaser is solely responsible for the
costs of any such entry, survey, testing or investigation, and shall indemnify Seller against any
cost thereof.
(b) Limitations. Purchaser must not, under any circumstances, compromise or affect
the structural integrity of the Improvements or violate any applicable law, rule or regulation.
Except as provided below in this Section 3.1.5(b), neither Purchaser nor any of its agents,
representatives or independent contractors may contact any tenant at the Property or Seller’s
service providers and vendors (each an “Interview”). Purchaser shall give Seller at least
forty-eight (48) hours prior notice of its desire to conduct an Interview. After receipt of such
notice from Purchaser, Seller shall work with Purchaser to select a mutually agreeable date and
time during normal business hours for Seller’s representative to accompany Purchaser or its agents,
representatives or independent contractors in connection with an Interview. If Seller and
Purchaser fail to agree on a date and time because of Seller’s bad faith or if Seller fails to make
a representative available at the agreed upon date and time, Purchaser shall be permitted to
conduct the Interview without the presence of Seller’s representative. Purchaser must obtain
Seller’s prior written approval, which Seller may withhold in its sole and absolute discretion, of
the scope and method of any physically intrusive inspection, testing or investigation of the
Property, including, but without limitation, any inspection which would involve taking subsurface
borings or related investigations, and any inspection that would alter the physical condition of
the Property in any material respect (provided, however, that nothing herein shall prohibit
Purchaser or any of its engineers or contractors from performing a non-invasive Phase I
environmental assessment or report or commercially reasonable non-invasive test for mold,
moisture-related conditions, asbestos and asbestos containing materials, seismic evaluations, air
quality tests or any similar non-invasive test which does not result in any material damage to the
Property). The right of entry granted in this Agreement is subject to the rights of any grantees
under any existing recorded easements and the rights of tenants of the Property, and Purchaser
shall not unreasonably interfere with the rights of such grantees and tenants.
(c) Restoration and Indemnity. Purchaser shall restore the Property to substantially
the same condition existing immediately prior to Purchaser’s inspection thereof if Purchaser or its
contractors, consultants, employees or agents cause damage to the Property resulting from such
inspection. Purchaser agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Seller, its members, agents,
employees, officers, directors, affiliates, counsel, advisors and asset
4
managers for any loss,
liability, claims, damage, cost or expense caused by Purchaser or its contractors, consultants,
employees or agents acts on the Property including, but not limited to, mechanic’s and
materialmen’s liens filed against Seller or the Property and Purchaser’s failure to restore the
Property as required in this Subsection 3.1.5(c), except to the extent arising solely from
(i) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Seller, its members, officers, directors,
affiliates, counsel, advisors, asset managers, employees, representatives, agents or consultants,
or (ii) any pre-existing liabilities, conditions or other matters merely discovered by Purchaser or
its employees, representatives, agents or consultants and promptly reported to Seller (e.g., latent
environmental contamination, latent construction or other physical defects or conditions, etc.).
Purchaser’s indemnification obligations pursuant to this Subsection shall survive and be
enforceable after the Closing or earlier termination of this Agreement.
(d) Copies of Reports. If Purchaser elects not to purchase the Property, upon the
request of Seller, Purchaser shall deliver copies of any final third-party property condition
reports Purchaser obtains in connection with such inspection to Seller, including, without
limitation, any Phase I environmental site assessment performed by or on behalf of Purchaser, but
excluding any internal reports produced by Seller. Any such delivery shall be made without
recourse to Purchaser nor any representation or warranty from Purchaser.
(e) Insurance. Purchaser shall maintain a policy of comprehensive general liability
insurance, with a single combined limit of not less than Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000), insuring
all activity and conduct of Purchaser and its agents, representatives and independent contractors
during any such entry, including contractual liability coverage. Seller shall be named as
additional insured on such comprehensive general liability policy, and Purchaser shall provide
proof of such insurance to Seller, in a form reasonably acceptable to Seller, prior to any such
entry.
(f) Governmental Approvals. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed as
authorizing Purchaser to apply for a zoning change, variance, subdivision maps, lot line
adjustment, or other discretionary governmental act, approval or permit with respect to the
Property prior to the Closing, and Purchaser agrees not to do so. Purchaser agrees not to submit
any reports, studies or other documents, including, without limitation, plans and specifications,
impact statements for water, sewage, drainage or traffic, environmental review forms, or energy
conservation checklists to any governmental agency, or any amendment or modification to any such
instruments or documents prior to the Closing, except to the extent required to do so under
applicable law. Purchaser’s obligation to purchase the Property is not subject to or conditioned
upon Purchaser’s obtaining any variances, zoning amendments, subdivision maps, lot line adjustment
or other discretionary governmental act, approval or permit.
(g) Plumbing Leak. Seller hereby discloses to Purchaser that a plumbing leak occurred
in a chase and janitors room between the first and second floors of the
building located on the Property. Seller agrees to repair the water damage caused by the leak
to Purchaser’s reasonable satisfaction on or before the Closing.
3.1.6 Knowledge of the Property. Seller agrees and acknowledges that as a result of
its inspection of the Property, as to many potentially relevant facts concerning the
5
Property,
Seller is not in a position to have any more knowledge of the Property than Purchaser, and through
the due diligence process Purchaser can be expected to obtain greater knowledge concerning the
Property than is currently held by Seller.
3.2 Title and Survey.
3.2.1 Title Commitment. As soon as practicable following the Effective Date, Seller
shall obtain, from Xxxxxxx Title of Denver, Inc. (the “Title Company”), and deliver to
Purchaser a A.L.T.A. commitment for an extended coverage owner’s policy of title insurance (the
premium for such A.L.T.A. extended coverage shall be paid by Purchaser and Seller shall pay the
C.L.T.A. portion of such coverage, all in accordance with Section 5.4) (the “Title
Commitment”) with respect to the Real Property issued by the Title Company along with a legible
copy of each instrument listed as an exception thereon.
3.2.2 Survey. As soon as practicable following the Effective Date, Purchaser may
order at its sole cost an update of the Existing Survey (the “Amended Survey”) of the Real
Property from the surveyor company who produced the Existing Survey (the “Surveyor”).
Purchaser will cause a duplicate of the Amended Survey to be delivered to Seller concurrently with
the delivery thereof to Purchaser. If the Amended Survey is not received three (3) Business Days
before the Title Approval Date, Purchaser may make objections to matters shown on the Amended
Survey but not shown on the Existing Survey to which a reasonable purchaser would object within
five (5) days after its receipt of the Amended Survey, but in no event after the Due Diligence
Contingency Date, by providing a title objection notice (also, a Title Objection Notice, as
hereinafter defined) to Seller. If Purchaser sends such notice to Seller, Purchaser and Seller
shall have the same rights and obligations with respect to such notice as apply to Purchaser’s
Title Objections under Sections 3.2.3 and 3.2.4 hereof and the Closing Date shall
be extended to accommodate the cure and response periods set forth in Section 3.2.4 and to
occur five (5) Business Days after the expiration of the last of such cure and response periods if
this Agreement is not terminated pursuant to Section 3.2.4. All matters in the Amended
Survey not timely objected to by Purchaser shall be deemed to be waived by Purchaser and such
matters shall be considered Approved Title Matters (as hereinafter defined).
3.2.3 Title Objections. By the earlier of (a) five (5) Business Days after
Purchaser’s receipt of the last of the Title Commitment and the Amended Survey (but in all events
within five (5) business days after the Effective Date), or (b) November 9, 2006 (in either event,
the “Title Approval Date”), Purchaser shall have examined the Title Commitment and Amended
Survey or New Survey (or the Existing Survey if Purchaser does not receive the Amended Survey
before the Title Approval Date), and shall make any objections thereto (“Purchaser’s Title
Objections”) by written notice to Seller (the “Title Objection Notice”). The Title
Objection Notice shall state with specificity the reasons for Purchaser’s objection and the
curative steps requested by Purchaser which would remove the basis for Purchaser’s objection.
Any objections to matters shown in the Title Commitment and the Amended Survey or New Survey (or
the Existing Survey if Purchaser does not receive the Amended Survey before the Title Approval
Date) to which Purchaser has not objected by the Title Approval Date shall be deemed to be waived
by Purchaser and such matters shall be referred to as “Approved Title Matters.”
6
3.2.4 Cure of Title Objections. Seller shall notify Purchaser of whether it intends
to cure any or all of Purchaser’s Title Objections within two (2) Business Days of receipt of a
Title Objection Notice. If Seller fails to notify Purchaser of whether or not it intends to cure
any or all of the Purchaser’s Title Objections within such two (2) Business Day period, Seller
shall be deemed to have notified Purchaser that it will not cure any of Purchaser’s Title
Objections. If Seller confirms in writing that it will cure some or all of Purchaser’s Title
Objections, Seller is allowed until the Closing Date to cure Purchaser’s Title Objections. If
Seller agrees to cure any of Purchaser’s Title Objections, has used commercially reasonable efforts
pursing such cure, and such cure is not completed prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall not be in
default of this Agreement, provided, however, that Purchaser may terminate the Agreement on the
Closing Date by providing written notice to Seller and the Xxxxxxx Money shall be returned to
Purchaser and neither party shall have any liability to the other except for the Surviving
Obligations. If Seller fails to use commercially reasonable efforts to cure any objection which
Seller has agreed to cure, Seller shall be in default under this Agreement. If Seller notifies
Purchaser that it does not intend to cure all of Purchaser’s Title Objections or is deemed to have
elected not to cure Purchaser’s Title Objections, then, by providing written notice of Purchaser’s
election within two (2) Business Days after Purchaser’s receipt of Seller’s notice or deemed
notice, or on the Closing Date with respect to any matter which Seller agrees to cure but remains
uncured on Closing Date, Purchaser may elect to do one of the following:
(a) | Terminate this Agreement and receive a refund of the Xxxxxxx Money in which case neither party shall have any further liability to the other except for Surviving Obligations; or | ||
(b) | Waive one or more of the uncured Purchaser’s Title Objections and proceed to Closing. |
If Purchaser does not timely give notice of its election to terminate this Agreement under
Subsection 3.2.4(a) or to proceed to Closing under Subsection 3.2.4(b) as provided
herein, Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected to waive Purchaser’s Title Objections and proceed
to Closing under Subsection 3.2.4(b).
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Seller shall be obligated to pay, discharge
and remove all Monetary Objections. As used herein, the term “Monetary Objections” shall
mean (a) any mortgage, deed to secure debt, deed of trust or similar security instrument
encumbering all or any part of the Property, (b) any mechanic’s, materialman’s or similar lien
(unless resulting from any act or omission of Purchaser or any of its agents, contractors,
representatives or employees or any tenant of the Property, and, in the case of any such lien
arising from the act or omission of a tenant, which does not attach to the interest of the Seller
in and to the Property), (c) the lien of real or personal property taxes, assessments (general or
special) or governmental charges affecting all or any portion of the Property which are
delinquent or which are due and payable at or prior to Closing, and (d) any judgment of record
against Seller or otherwise affecting the Property.
3.2.5 “Permitted Encumbrances” means all of the Approved Title Matters and any
Purchaser’s Title Objections that Purchaser has waived or is deemed to have waived.
7
3.2.6 Purchaser may, at or prior to Closing, notify Seller in writing of any additional
objections to title to the Real Property (a) raised by the Title Company between the Title Approval
Date and the Closing, and (b) not disclosed by the Title Company or otherwise known to Purchaser
prior to the Title Approval Date, provided that Purchaser must notify Seller of such new objection
to title within three (3) Business Days of obtaining notice or knowledge of the existence of such
matter. If Purchaser sends such notice to Seller, Purchaser and Seller shall have the same rights
and obligations with respect to such notice as apply to Purchaser’s Title Objections under
Sections 3.2.3 and 3.2.4 hereof and the Closing Date shall be extended to
accommodate the cure and response periods set forth in Section 3.2.4 and to occur five (5)
Business Days after the expiration of the last of such cure and response periods if this Agreement
is not terminated pursuant to Section 3.2.4.
3.3 Termination of Contracts. All service contracts related to the Property entered into
by or on behalf of Seller or its property manager shall be terminated on or before the Closing
Date.

when it acquired the Property. If the transaction contemplated by this Agreement closes, Purchaser
shall be responsible for any increases in real estate taxes as a result of the sale of the Property
to Purchaser.

Utility deposits owned by Seller, if any, together with any accrued interest thereon, shall be
retained by Seller and not transferred to Purchaser at Closing.

obtain such estoppel and the Closing shall be extended as need be to occur five (5) Business Days
after Seller delivery of the estoppel to Purchaser meeting the requirements and in the form
described in the following sentence (the “Estoppel Requirement”). The form of estoppel
certificate delivered to Purchaser shall contain the information set forth in Exhibit H and may not
disclose any material defaults under the Lease or any material adverse information other than that
contained in the estoppel certificate set forth in Exhibit H. Purchaser shall have the right to
terminate this Agreement, receive a refund of the Xxxxxxx Money and both parties shall be released
from all liability under this Agreement except for the Surviving Obligations if the Estoppel
Requirement is not satisfied. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Estoppel Requirement shall be
deemed satisfied if Existing Tenant delivers the estoppel certificate without agreeing to Section
11 in the estoppel set forth on Exhibit H. Seller shall not be in default under this Agreement or
have any liability to Purchaser if Seller is unable to obtain the foregoing described estoppel
certificate after using commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the same.
5.9.4 Title Policy. Title Company shall, at Closing, be ready, willing and able to
issue to Purchaser an A.L.T.A. extended coverage (Form 1970-10/17/70)) owner’s policy of title
insurance for the Property in an amount equal to the Purchase Price insuring fee simple title to
the Property in Purchaser, subject only to the Permitted Encumbrances and containing such
endorsements as Purchaser shall request (said commitment to be evidenced by a pro forma policy
containing such endorsements requested by Purchaser) (the “Policy”);
5.9.5 Closing Documents. Seller shall have deposited with the Escrow Agent all
documents required of Seller to be delivered into escrow hereunder pursuant to Section 5.5;
20
5.9.6 Court Orders. No order or injunction shall have been issued by any court or
administrative agency which prohibits the transactions contemplated by this Agreement;
5.9.7 Tenant Default. Existing Tenant shall not be in material default under the
Lease (after the expiration of any applicable notice and cure periods that expire before the
Closing). If Tenant is in material default and the applicable cure period extends to or past the
Closing Date, the Closing Date shall be extended to occur five (5) Business Days after the
expiration of each such cure period. Neither existing Tenants nor any guarantor of the Lease shall
have filed for bankruptcy, be subject to an involuntary bankruptcy proceeding, been adjudicated
bankrupt or admitted in writing its inability to pay its debts as they become due or have had a
receiver appointed for any of its assets; and
5.9.8 No Material Changes. Subject to ordinary wear and tear, and condemnation and
casualty which are addressed by Sections 6.1 and 6.2, respectively, the Property
shall be in substantially the same condition that it is in as of the Effective Date.
5.9.9 Plumbing Leak. Seller has repaired the water damage to Purchaser’s reasonable
Satisfaction on or before the Closing Date in accordance with Section 3.1.5(g) above.
If any conditions in this Section 5.9 have not been satisfied on or before the
applicable date set forth in this Section 5.9 with respect to each condition, then
Purchaser may terminate this Agreement by providing written notice to Seller on or before the
Closing Date and receive a refund of the Xxxxxxx Money, in which case neither party shall have any
further liability except for Surviving Obligations; provided, however, if the failure of any of the
conditions in Section 5.9 above is attributable to the Bad Faith acts of Seller, Purchaser
shall be entitled to the remedies provided in Section 7 (including, without limitation, the
right to receive reimbursement from Seller for Purchaser’s due diligence costs and other expenses
as provided in Section 7.1). Further, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if
the failure of any of the conditions in Section 5.9 is the result of a default by Seller under this
Agreement, Purchaser shall have the remedies available to it under Section 7.1 hereinbelow. If
Purchaser does not terminate this Agreement on or before the Closing Date or proceeds to Closing
despite failure of a condition, time being of the essence, then Purchaser is deemed to have waived
that condition. The conditions in this Section 5.9 are specifically stated and for the
sole benefit of Purchaser. Purchaser in its discretion may unilaterally waive (conditionally or
absolutely) the fulfillment of any one or more of the conditions, or any part thereof, by notice to
Seller.
5.10 Seller’s Closing Conditions.
The obligations of Seller under this Agreement are
contingent upon each of the following conditions:
5.10.1 Representations and Warranties. On the Closing Date, each of the
representations and warranties of Purchaser in Section 4.1 shall be true and correct in all
material respects as if the same were made on the Closing Date.
5.10.2 Performance by Purchaser. By the Closing Date, the Purchaser shall have
performed all covenants and obligations in all material respects and complied with all material
conditions required by this Agreement to be performed or complied with by Purchaser.
21
If any conditions in this Section 5.10 have not been satisfied on or before the
applicable date set forth in this Section 5.10 with respect to each condition, then Seller
may terminate this Agreement by providing written notice to Purchaser on or before the Closing Date
and receive a refund of the Xxxxxxx Money, in which case neither party shall have any further
liability except for Surviving Obligations; provided, however, if the failure of any of the
conditions in Section 5.10 above is attributable to the Bad Faith acts of Purchaser or if
the failure of any of the conditions in this Section 5.10 are a result of a default by
Purchaser under this Agreement, Seller shall be entitled to the remedies provided in Section
7.2. If Seller does not terminate this Agreement on or before the Closing Date or proceeds to
Closing despite failure of a condition, time being of the essence, then Seller is deemed to have
waived that condition. The conditions in this Section 5.10 are specifically stated and for
the sole benefit of Seller. Seller in its discretion may unilaterally waive (conditionally or
absolutely) the fulfillment of any one or more of the conditions, or any part thereof, by notice to
Purchaser.
SECTION 6
RISK OF LOSS
RISK OF LOSS
6.1 Condemnation. If any Material (as defined below) portion of the Property is taken by
eminent domain proceedings or by deed in lieu thereof prior to the Closing, Seller shall promptly
notify Purchaser of such fact (“Seller’s Condemnation Notice”). Thereafter, Purchaser may
(at Purchaser’s option), either: (a) terminate this Agreement by written notice, in which case
Purchaser shall be entitled to the return of the Xxxxxxx Money, and thereafter neither party shall
have any rights or obligations under this Agreement, other than Surviving Obligations, or (b)
proceed to Closing. Purchaser shall notify Seller in writing of Purchaser’s election within ten
(10) days after Seller’s Condemnation Notice. If Purchaser fails to timely and properly notify
Seller of Purchaser’s election, Purchaser is deemed to have elected to proceed to Closing under
clause (b). If Purchaser chooses or is deemed in have chosen to proceed under clause (b), or if
the taking is not Material, then Seller shall assign all of Seller’s right, title and interest in
and to (or, if not assignable, pay to Purchaser at the time actually received by Seller, which
obligation of Seller shall survive the Closing) the award of the condemning authority, or the
settlement in the case of a deed in lieu of condemnation, to the extent not applied by Seller
towards reasonable costs to restore the Real Property prior to the Closing, to Purchaser at the
Closing and there shall be no reduction in the Purchase Price. For purposes of Sections
6.1 and 6.2, a (i) taking is “Material” if any portion of the Improvements are
taken or if any portion of the Land is taken which would materially affect the operation, use or
value of the Property as it exists prior to the taking; and (ii) casualty is “Material” if
the cost to repair and restore the Real Property to the condition existing prior to the casualty is
in excess of $100,000.00, as set forth in an estimate made by a contractor selected by Seller and
reasonably approved by Purchaser, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or
delayed. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if Existing Tenant has the right to
terminate the Lease if a portion of the Property is condemned and exercises such right, Purchaser
may terminate this Agreement by written notice to Seller, in which case Purchaser shall be entitled
to the return of the Xxxxxxx Money, and thereafter neither party shall have any rights or
obligations under this Agreement, other than Surviving Obligations. If the time period to exercise
Existing Tenant’s termination right extends beyond the Closing Date and Existing Tenant has not
provided written notice exercising its termination right or foregoing its right to terminate before
the Closing Date (the “Condemnation Termination Notice”), the Closing shall be postponed to
occur five (5) Business Days after
22
Seller’s receipt of the Condemnation Termination Notice or the
day Existing Tenant’s right to terminate the Lease as a result of such condemnation expires.
6.2 Casualty. If any of the Property, or any part thereof, suffers any Material damage
from fire or casualty prior to the Closing, or if any of the Property, or any part thereof, suffers
Material damage that is not fully covered by Seller’s insurance (as evidenced by Seller’s failure
to provide to Purchaser a letter from the applicable insurance company addressed to Purchaser and
acknowledging the damage and expressly confirming such insurance company’s liability for the full
costs thereof, less any deductible), Seller will notify Purchaser of such fact (the “Seller’s
Casualty Notice”), and Purchaser may terminate this Agreement by notice to Seller given within
ten (10) days
following Seller’s Casualty Notice to Purchaser, in which case Purchaser shall be entitled to the
return of the Xxxxxxx Money, and thereafter neither party shall have any rights or obligations
under this Agreement, other than Surviving Obligations. If Purchaser fails to timely and properly
notify Seller of Purchaser’s election, Purchaser is deemed to have elected to waive its right to
terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 6.2. If Purchaser does not terminate or
is deemed to have elected not to terminate this Agreement, or if the damage suffered is not
Material, this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and Seller shall assign all of
Seller’s assignable right, title and interest in and to the proceeds (or rights under the policy)
of any insurance covering such damage, less any reasonable costs incurred in connection with the
restoration of the Property and any portion of such proceeds paid or to be paid on account of the
loss of rents or other income from the Property for the period to (but excluding) the Closing Date
(the result, “Net Proceeds”), to Purchaser to the extent the amount of such Net Proceeds
does not exceed the Purchase Price, plus a credit in an amount equal to (i) Seller’s deductible
under its insurance policy applicable to such casualty, and (ii) the amount of any proceeds that
Seller cannot directly assign to Purchaser and instead retains, and there shall be no reduction in
the Purchase Price or obligation of Seller to complete restoration. Further, notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, if the damage is not Material but is not covered by Seller’s
insurance, Seller may either (i) pay to Purchaser at Closing (by a credit to the Purchase Price)
the reasonable costs to repair the Property to the condition existing immediately prior to such
casualty, as determined by a contractor selected by Purchaser and reasonably approved by Seller, or
(ii) provide notice to Purchaser before the Closing that Seller elects not to provide the credit
described in (i) above. If Seller elects (ii) above, Purchaser may either proceed to Closing in
which case Purchaser shall have no claim against Seller for such casualty or terminate this
Agreement by providing notice to Seller, in which case the Xxxxxxx Money shall be returned to
Purchaser and the parties to this Agreement shall be released from all obligations and liability
hereunder except for the Surviving Obligations. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary,
if Existing Tenant has the right to terminate the Lease if a portion of the Property is damaged by
a fire or other casualty and Existing Tenant exercises such right, Purchaser may terminate this
Agreement by written notice to Seller, in which case Purchaser shall be entitled to the return of
the Xxxxxxx Money, and thereafter neither party shall have any rights or obligations under this
Agreement, other than Surviving Obligations. If the time period to exercise Existing Tenant’s
termination right extends beyond the Closing Date and Existing Tenant has not provided written
notice exercising its termination right or foregoing its right to terminate before the Closing Date
(the “Casualty Termination Notice”), the Closing shall be postponed to occur five (5)
Business Days after Seller’s receipt of the Casualty Termination Notice or the day Existing
Tenant’s right to terminate the Lease as a result of such casualty expires.
23
SECTION 7
DEFAULT; TERMINATION
DEFAULT; TERMINATION
7.1 Default by Seller. In the event that Seller (i) defaults in the performance of any of
Seller’s obligations under this Agreement, which default remains uncured for five (5) Business Days
after written notice thereof to Seller; (ii) fails to consummate the transaction contemplated by
this Agreement; (iii) fails to pay the sums required to be paid by Seller under this Agreement, or
(iv) otherwise breaches this Agreement, Purchaser, as Purchaser’s sole and exclusive right and
remedy prior to Closing, may
either: (a) terminate this Agreement, or (b) pursue the remedy of specific performance of Seller’s
obligations under this Agreement. The remedy of specific performance is only available to
Purchaser if (i) any suit for specific performance is filed within ninety (90) days after Purchaser
first becomes aware of the breach or default by Seller, and (ii) Purchaser is not then in material
breach or default in the performance of any of its obligations under this Agreement. If Purchaser
properly terminates this Agreement under clause (a), the Xxxxxxx Money shall be refunded to
Purchaser by Escrow Agent, and if Seller fails to close in Bad Faith, Seller shall reimburse
Purchaser for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with this transaction
(including reasonable attorney’s fees, consultant costs, travel costs and similar expenses) up to
but not exceeding $150,000.00 and thereafter neither party shall have any rights or obligations
under this Agreement, other than Surviving Obligations. None of the provisions of this Section
7.1 shall limit, impair or affect Surviving Obligations.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or in any exhibits
attached hereto or in any documents executed or to be executed in connection herewith
(collectively, the “Purchase Documents”), it is expressly agreed that: (1) the remedies of
Purchaser or its successors or assigns against Seller with respect to the alleged breach by Seller
of any representation, warranty, covenant, undertaking, indemnity or obligation contained in any of
the Purchase Documents (collectively, “Seller’s Undertakings”) discovered by Purchaser
following Closing shall (x) be deemed waived unless Purchaser has filed suit against Seller
regarding the alleged breach within nine (9) months after the Closing Date; (y) be limited to an
amount not to exceed $500,000.00 in the aggregate; and (z) may be asserted by Purchaser only if
Purchaser’s damages in the aggregate exceed $50,000.00 (whereupon Seller’s liability shall be from
the first dollar of such loss); (2) except with regard to the matters described in the Addendum
attached hereto and made a part hereof (the “Addendum”) no personal liability or personal
responsibility of any sort with respect to any of Seller’s Undertakings or any alleged breach
thereof is assumed by, or shall at any time be asserted or enforceable against, Seller or any of
its shareholders, directors, officers, employees, agents, constituent partners, members,
beneficiaries, trustees or representatives except as provided in (1) above with respect to Seller.
Further, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the limit on Seller’s liability shall not
apply to Seller’s obligations under Sections 5.3.7, 5.4 and 9.2. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary contained in the Purchase Documents, Purchaser agrees that Seller shall be liable
only for any direct or actual damages, but not any consequential or punitive damages, suffered by
Purchaser on account of any breach by Seller. If Purchaser becomes aware prior to the Closing that
any representation or warranty hereunder is untrue, or any covenant or condition to Closing has not
been fulfilled or satisfied, and Purchaser nonetheless proceeds to close on the purchase of the
Property, then Purchaser shall be deemed to have irrevocably and absolutely waived, relinquished
and released all rights and claims against Seller for any damage or other loss arising
24
out of or
resulting from such untrue representation or warranty or such unfulfilled or unsatisfied covenant
or condition.
7.2 Default by Purchaser.
7.2.1 In the event that Purchaser (i) defaults in the performance of any of its obligations
under this Agreement other than its obligation to proceed to Closing, which default
remains uncured for five (5) Business Days after written notice thereof to Purchaser, or (ii)
fails to proceed to Closing when obligated to do so under this Agreement, and Seller is not then
in material breach or default in the performance of any of its obligations under this Agreement,
Seller may terminate this Agreement by providing written notice of termination to Purchaser. Upon
a termination by Seller under this Section 7.2, Seller shall be entitled to receive and
retain the Xxxxxxx Money as liquidated damages (and not as a penalty or forfeiture) and as Seller’s
sole and exclusive remedy and relief hereunder (except with regard to the Surviving Obligations to
which such limitation shall not apply), the Xxxxxxx Money shall be forfeited to Seller, and Escrow
Agent shall pay the Xxxxxxx Money to Seller promptly after receiving written demand therefor from
Seller, subject in all events, however, to Escrow Agent’s rights and obligations described in
Section 10.
THE PARTIES HAVE AGREED THAT SELLER’S ACTUAL DAMAGES, IN THE EVENT ESCROW FAILS TO CLOSE SOLELY DUE
TO A DEFAULT BY PURCHASER, WOULD BE EXTREMELY DIFFICULT OR IMPRACTICABLE TO DETERMINE. THEREFORE,
BY PLACING THEIR INITIALS BELOW, THE PARTIES ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE AMOUNT OF THE XXXXXXX MONEY
TOGETHER WITH ALL INTEREST ACCRUED THEREON TO BE PAID TO SELLER HAS BEEN AGREED UPON, AFTER
NEGOTIATION, AS THE PARTIES’ REASONABLE ESTIMATE OF SELLER’S DAMAGES AND AS SELLER’S EXCLUSIVE
REMEDY AGAINST PURCHASER, AND THAT PAYMENT OF SUCH AMOUNT TO SELLER AS LIQUIDATED DAMAGES IS NOT
INTENDED AS A FORFEITURE OR PENALTY WITHIN THE MEANING OF CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE SECTION 3275 OR
3369, BUT INSTEAD, IS INTENDED TO CONSTITUTE LIQUIDATED DAMAGES TO OWNER PURSUANT TO SECTION 1671,
1676 AND 1677 OF THE CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING LIMITATIONS ON DAMAGES,
SUCH LIMITATION SHALL NOT PRECLUDE SELLER FROM RECOVERING ATTORNEYS’ FEES AND COSTS INCURRED IN
SEEKING TO RECOVER THE LIQUIDATED DAMAGES UNDER THIS SECTION 7.2.
INITIALS: Seller Purchaser
None of the provisions of this Section 7.2 shall limit, impair or affect Surviving
Obligations.
7.2.2 Further, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Seller agrees that Purchaser
shall only be liable for any direct or actual damages, but not any consequential or punitive
damages, suffered by Seller on account of any breach by Purchaser.
7.2.3 Except with regard to the matters described in the Addendum, in no event whatsoever
shall recourse be had or liability asserted against any of Purchaser’s or Seller’s
25
partners,
members, shareholders, employees, agents, directors, officers or other owners of Purchaser or
Seller, or their respective constituent partners. Neither Purchaser’s nor Seller’s direct and
indirect shareholders, partners, members, beneficiaries and owners and their respective trustees,
officers, directors, employees, agents and security holders, assume any personal liability for any
obligations entered into on behalf of the parties under this Agreement and the closing documents.
7.3 Confirmation of Termination. If this Agreement is terminated by either party pursuant
to the terms set forth herein, then at the request of Seller, Purchaser shall execute such
reasonable documentation, reasonably satisfactory to Seller and Purchaser in form and substance,
confirming the termination of this Agreement promptly upon written demand by Seller.
7.4 Survival. This Section 7 shall survive Closing or the earlier termination of
this Agreement.

8.3.4 Seller shall not enter into any contract or agreement regarding the sale, financing or

The attorneys for each party are authorized to give any notice specified in this Agreement on
behalf of their respective clients. This Section 9.1 shall survive the Closing or earlier
termination of this Agreement.
9.2 Real Estate Commissions. Neither Seller nor Purchaser has authorized any broker or
finder to act on Purchaser’s or Seller’s behalf in connection with the sale and purchase hereunder
other than Xxxxx Xxxx of CB Xxxxxxx Xxxxx (“Broker”), and neither Seller nor Purchaser has
dealt with any broker or finder purporting to act on behalf of the other party other than Broker.
If and only if the Closing occurs, Seller shall pay Broker a real estate commission in accordance
with a separate written listing agreement. Purchaser agrees to indemnify, defend, protect and hold
harmless Seller from and against any and all demands, claims, losses, damages, liabilities, costs
or expenses of any kind or character (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) arising
out of or resulting from any agreement, arrangement or understanding alleged to have been made by
Purchaser or on Purchaser’s behalf with any broker or finder (other than Broker) in connection with
this Agreement or the transaction contemplated hereby. Seller agrees to indemnify, defend, protect
and hold harmless Purchaser from and against any and all demands, claims, losses, damages,
liabilities, costs or expenses of any kind or character, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and
expenses, arising out of or resulting from any agreement, arrangement or understanding alleged to
have been made by Seller or on Seller’s behalf with any broker or finder in connection with this
Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein, this Section 9.2 shall survive the Closing or any earlier termination of
this Agreement.
9.3 Entire Agreement. This Agreement embodies the entire agreement between the parties
relative to the subject matter hereof, and there is no oral or written agreement between the
parties, nor any representation made by either party relative to the subject matter hereof, which
is not expressly set forth herein.
9.4 Amendment. This Agreement may be amended only by a written instrument executed by the party or parties to
be bound thereby.
30
9.5 Headings. The captions and headings used in this Agreement are for convenience only
and do not in any way limit, amplify, or otherwise modify the provisions of this Agreement.
9.6 Time of Essence. Time is of the essence of this Agreement; however, if the final date
of any period which is set out in any provision of this Agreement falls on a day which is not a
Business Day, then the time of such period shall be extended to the first succeeding Business Day.
The term “Business Day” means every day other than Saturdays, Sundays or other holidays on
which banking institutions in the state in which the Real Property is located are closed.
9.7 Successors and Assigns; Assignments.
9.7.1 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of Seller and
Purchaser and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, personal and legal
representatives, successors and permitted assigns.
9.7.2 Assignments. Purchaser may not assign this Agreement or Purchaser’s rights
under this Agreement without the prior written consent of Seller, which consent may be withheld in
Seller’s sole and absolute discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser may, without the
prior written consent of Seller, assign this Agreement to any entity or entities which are
Affiliates (as hereinafter defined) of Purchaser or of Xxxxx Interests Limited Partnership, a
Delaware limited partnership (“Hines”), provided (i) such assignee accepts and assumes such
obligations, (ii) Purchaser provides written notice to Seller at least three (3) Business Days
before the Closing, and (iii) such assignment is consummated on the Closing Date. Upon any such
assignment, original Purchaser shall not be relieved from any and all liability under this
Agreement. This Agreement is solely for the benefit of Seller and Purchaser; there are no third
party beneficiaries hereof. Any assignment of this Agreement in violation of the foregoing
provisions shall at Seller’s option be null and void. For purposes of this Section 9.7,
the term “Affiliate” means any person or entity that directly, or indirectly through one or
more intermediaries, controls, is controlled by or is under common control with Purchaser or Hines,
as the case may be, and the term “control” means the possession, directly or indirectly, of
the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of a person or entity,
whether through the ownership of voting securities, by contract or otherwise, and the terms
“controlling” and “controlled” have the meanings correlative to the foregoing.
9.8 Invalid Provision. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be illegal, invalid
or unenforceable under present or future laws, such provision shall be fully severable; this
Agreement shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision
had never comprised a part of this
Agreement; and, the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect
and shall not be affected by such illegal, invalid, or unenforceable provision or by its severance
from this Agreement.
9.9 Attorneys’ Fees. In the event it becomes necessary for either party hereto to file
suit to enforce this Agreement or any provision contained herein, the party prevailing in such suit
shall be entitled to recover, in addition to all other remedies or damages as provided herein,
31
reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred in such suit. This Section 9.9 shall
survive the Closing or earlier termination of this Agreement.
9.10 Confidentiality. All non-public information provided by Seller to Purchaser or
obtained by Purchaser relating to the Property in the course of Purchaser’s inspection, including,
without limitation, (a) the Property Documents, (b) any environmental assessment or audit, (c) the

(d) the terms of this Agreement (collectively, the “Information”) shall be treated as
confidential by Purchaser. Purchaser agrees to transmit the Information only to such of its
attorneys, accountants, consultants, equity investors and lenders (“Representatives”) who
need to know the Information for the sole purpose of Purchaser’s review and who agree to maintain
the confidentiality of such Information. Purchaser agrees not to make any public announcements or
disclosures prior to the Closing with respect to the subject matter hereof, without the prior
written consent of Seller. In the event that this transaction is not closed for any reason, then
Purchaser shall return to Seller, upon written request from Seller, all copies of all Property
Documents in its possession or in the possession of any of its Representatives, shall maintain the
confidentiality of the Information, and shall require all Representatives not to disclose any
Information to any other party. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, nothing shall
prohibit Purchaser, its affiliates or any entity advised by its affiliates, or its Representatives
from disclosing (i) any such Information to the extent required by law, (ii) any such Information
if required in connection with any agency, administrative, regulatory, or other similar filing,
report or disclosure by any such parties or as may be necessary in connection with any court action
of proceeding with respect to this Agreement, or (iii) any Information published as public
knowledge or which is generally available in the public domain. The provisions of this Section
9.10 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
9.11 No Survival. Except as otherwise expressly provided otherwise in this Agreement, any
and all rights of action of either party for any breach by the other party of any representation,
warranty, covenant or other obligation of such party contained in this Agreement shall merge with
the Deed and other instruments executed at Closing and shall not survive Closing, and no action
based thereon shall be commenced after the Closing Date.
9.12 Multiple Counterparts; Facsimile. This Agreement may be executed in a number of identical counterparts which, taken together,
shall constitute collectively one agreement. In making proof of this Agreement, it shall not be
necessary to produce or account for more than one such counterpart with each party’s signature.
Any signature hereon may be transmitted by facsimile machine and such signature shall be valid and
accepted for all purposes hereof.

executed this Agreement with the advice of such counsel; and (c) this Agreement is the result of
negotiations between the parties hereto and the advice and assistance of their
32
respective counsel.
The fact that this Agreement was prepared by Seller’s counsel as a matter of convenience shall have
no import or significance, and the normal rule of contractual construction and interpretation 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 amendments or exhibits hereto.
9.15 No Recordation. Seller and Purchaser hereby acknowledge that neither this Agreement
nor any memorandum or affidavit thereof shall be recorded of public record. Should Purchaser ever
record or attempt to record this Agreement, or a memorandum or affidavit thereof, or any other
similar document, then, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, said recordation or
attempt at recordation shall constitute a default by Purchaser hereunder, and, in addition to the
other remedies provided for herein, Seller has the express right to terminate this Agreement by
filing a notice of said termination in the public records. This provision does not apply to any
filing made by Purchaser in connection with any action brought by Purchaser under Section
7.1.
9.16 JURY WAIVER. PURCHASER AND SELLER DO HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY
WAIVE THEIR RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION BASED HEREON, OR ARISING OUT OF,
OR UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, THE DOCUMENTS DELIVERED BY PURCHASER OR BY SELLER AT
CLOSING, OR ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALINGS, STATEMENTS (WHETHER VERBAL OR WRITTEN) OR
ANY ACTIONS OF EITHER PARTY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED IN ANY MANNER WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR THE
PROPERTY (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY ACTION TO RESCIND OR CANCEL THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY
CLAIMS OR DEFENSES OTHERWISE VOID OR VOIDABLE). THIS WAIVER IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR EACH
PARTY TO ENTER INTO AND ACCEPT THIS AGREEMENT AND THE DOCUMENTS DELIVERED BY THE OTHER PARTY AT
CLOSING AND SHALL SURVIVE THE CLOSING OR TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT.
9.17 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with
the laws of the State of California without regard to conflicts of law principles. The provisions
of this Section 9.17 shall survive the Closing or the termination of this Agreement. The
parties agree that venue shall lie in any state or federal court located within the State of
California.
9.18 Documentary Transfer Tax. Seller or Purchaser shall, at the time of recording the
Deed, in accordance with California Revenue and Taxation Code Section 11932, be entitled to request
that the amount of the documentary transfer tax due be shown on a separate paper which shall be
affixed to the Deed subsequent to recording.
9.19 Audit Cooperation. Prior to and after the Closing Date, Seller shall provide to
Purchaser (at Purchaser’s expense) copies of, or shall provide Purchaser access to, such factual
information as may be reasonably requested by Purchaser, which is in the possession or control of
Seller, or its property manager or accountants, to enable Purchaser (or Hines or an affiliate of
Hines) to allow Purchaser’s auditor (Deloitte & Touche LLP or any successor auditor selected by
33
Purchaser) to conduct an audit of the income and expense statements of the Property up to the date
of Closing, plus up to the three (3) prior calendar years. Purchaser shall be solely responsible
for all out-of-pocket costs associated with this audit. Seller shall cooperate (at Purchaser’s
expense) with Purchaser’s auditor in the conduct of such audit. In addition, Seller agrees to
provide to Purchaser’s auditor historical financial statements for the Property, including income
and balance sheet data for the Property which may have been previously prepared, for up to three
(3) years prior to the year in which the Closing Date occurs. Without limiting the foregoing, at
Purchaser’s expense (i) Purchaser or its designated independent or other auditor may audit Seller’s
operating statements of the Property, and Seller shall provide such documentation as Purchaser or
its auditor may reasonably request in order to complete such audit, and (ii) Seller shall furnish
to Purchaser such financial and other information in the form such information is maintained or
held by Seller as may be reasonably required by Purchaser or an affiliate of Purchaser to make any
required filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission or other governmental authority.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (a) the foregoing obligations of Seller shall be
limited to providing such information or documentation as may be in the possession of, or
reasonably obtainable by Seller (at Purchaser’s expense) from its property manager or accountants,
at no cost to Seller, and in the format that Seller (or its property manager or accountants) have
maintained such information; (b) while Seller will make such documentation and information
available, any information discovered by Purchaser or its agents which is believed to be inaccurate
or inconsistent with information provided to Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement in any event will
not afford Purchaser a basis for any legal action against Seller and Purchaser hereby expressly
waives the right to bring such a legal action against Seller; and (c) Purchaser acknowledges that
the documents, materials and other information provided pursuant to this Section 9.19 are
provided without representations or warranties as to the truth, accuracy, completeness, or
methodology of preparation thereof, and
Seller expressly disclaims any such representation or warranty. This Section 9.19 shall
survive the Closing of this Agreement.

ESCROW PROVISIONS
ESCROW PROVISIONS
10.1 Escrow Account and Notice. The Xxxxxxx Money and Purchase Price (collectively, the

bank account by Escrow Agent until the earliest of (a) the Closing, on which date the Purchase
Price, subject to any credits or adjustments as provided herein, shall be released to Seller; (b)
five (5) days after Escrow Agent shall have delivered to the non-sending party a copy of the notice
sent by Seller or Purchaser stating that this Agreement has been terminated and that the party so
notifying Escrow Agent is entitled to the Escrow Payments, following which period the Escrow
Payments shall be delivered to the party who sent notice stating that it is entitled to the Escrow
Payments; provided, however, that within such five (5) day period, Escrow Agent does not receive
either a notice containing contrary instructions from the non-sending party hereto or a court order
restraining the release of all or any portion of the Escrow Payments; or (c) a joint notice
executed by Seller and Purchaser is received by Escrow Agent, in which event Escrow Agent shall
release the Escrow Payments in accordance with the instructions therein contained. Escrow Agent
shall immediately deliver a duplicate copy of any notice received by it in its capacity as Escrow
Agent to Seller and Purchaser.
34
10.2 Dispute Regarding Escrow Payments. In the event that (a) Escrow Agent shall have
received a notice containing contrary instructions or a court order as provided for in Section
10.1 hereof and within the time therein prescribed, or (b) any other disagreement or dispute
shall arise between the parties hereto or resulting in adverse claims or demands being made for the
Escrow Payments, whether or not litigation has been instituted, then and in any such event Escrow
Agent shall refuse to comply with any claims or demands on it and continue to hold the Escrow
Payments until Escrow Agent receives either (i) a written notice signed by both Seller and
Purchaser directing the disposition of the Escrow Payments, or (ii) a final non-appealable order of
a court of competent jurisdiction directing the disposition of the Escrow Payments, in either of
which events Escrow Agent shall then dispose of the Escrow Payments in accordance with said
direction. Escrow Agent shall not be or become liable in any way to any person or entity for its
refusal to comply with any such claims or demands until and unless it has received a direction of
the nature described in (i) or (ii) above. Upon the taking by Escrow Agent of any of the actions
described in (i) and (ii) above, Escrow Agent shall be released of and from all liability hereunder
except for its own willful misconduct or negligence. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of

affirmative reasonable steps as it may, at its option, elect in order to terminate its duties as
escrow agent hereunder, including, but not limited to, the deposit of the Escrow Payments with a
court of competent jurisdiction and/or the commencement of an action in interpleader. Upon the
taking by Escrow Agent of the actions described above, Escrow Agent shall be released of and from
liability hereunder except for its own willful misconduct or negligence.
10.3 Limitation on Escrow Agent Liability. Escrow Agent shall not incur any liability in
acting upon any signature, notice, request, waiver, consent, receipt or other paper document in
good faith believed by Escrow Agent to be genuine. Escrow Agent has executed this Agreement solely
to confirm that it is holding and will hold the Escrow Payments in escrow pursuant to the
provisions of this Section 10 and for no other purpose.
10.4 Survival. This Section 10 shall survive the Closing or earlier termination of
this Agreement.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Seller and Purchaser have executed and delivered this Agreement as of the
