additional $500,000 with Escrow Holder, which shall be added to and become a
part of the Deposit for all purposes hereunder.
2.2 Of the total Deposit, the sum of $150,000 is agreed to be
non-refundable, and shall be refunded to Purchaser only (i) if Purchaser
terminates this Agreement under Section 3.4, under the circumstances set
forth in Section 3.4.1, or (ii) if the Agreement is terminated or if the
Closing fails to occur by reason of Seller's default. Under all other
circumstances, wherever under this Agreement and the Other Agreements the
Deposit is to be returned to Purchaser, $150,000 out of the Deposit shall be
paid to Seller, to be retained by Seller as fully earned.
3. Review of the Property.
3.1 From and after the "Effective Date" (as defined in Paragraph
9.23), Seller agrees to provide Purchaser and its agents or consultants with
access to the Property to inspect each and every part thereof to determine
its present condition and to conduct such physical and environmental studies
(including a mechanical and roof study and Phase I environmental assessment)
as it deems appropriate.
3.2 Within three (3) business days after the Effective Date Seller
will make available to Purchaser for inspection and copying, all to the
extent in the possession of Seller or its managing agent, a copy of each
existing Lease and equipment lease, service contract and maintenance or other
contract pertaining to the operations of the Property that will survive

Property prepared by third party consultants since January 1, 1995.
3.3.2 a copy of each current franchises, business or other
licenses, bonds, permits, certificates, authorizations and other evidences of
consent, approval, authorization or permission relating to or affecting the
Project of or from any person, including any governmental authority, held by
Seller, including any pending applications.
3.3.3 a copy of each material third party warranties and
guaranties, if any, which are in effect with respect to the Property.
3.4 Purchaser has until 5:00 p.m. CST on February 2, 1998 (the
"Review Period"), to determine in its sole discretion whether all matters
relating to the Property (except title and survey, which are governed by
Paragraph 4), are acceptable, and to obtain the approval of the transaction
contemplated herein by Seller's Board of Directors. If Purchaser concludes
that any matter relating to the Property is not acceptable or that its Board
has disapproved the
2
transaction, Purchaser will so notify Seller (the "Termination Notice") prior
to the expiration of the Review Period (which notice shall contain a copy of
Purchaser's roof/structural report and other reports or studies, other than
environmental reports, obtained in connection with Purchaser's due
diligence). Upon timely delivery of the Termination Notice, this Agreement
will terminate without liability on the part of Seller or Purchaser, other
than Purchaser's indemnity contained in Paragraph 9.15 hereof and the
obligation to deliver to Seller a copy of any environmental report obtained
by Purchaser if requested by Seller within ten (10) days after receipt of the
Termination Notice. In the event that Purchaser does not timely so notify
Seller, Purchaser will be deemed to have concluded that all matters relating
to the Property are acceptable and to have elected to proceed with the
transaction upon the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement
(including the obligation to increase the amount of the Deposit by an
additional $500,000) without regard to this Paragraph 3.4.
3.4.1 If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to
Paragraph 3.4, the Deposit, less $150,000, will be returned to Purchaser as
provided in the Escrow Instructions. This $150,000 shall be paid to Seller,
unless Purchaser's termination resulted from (i) Seller's default, (ii) a
material deviation from the economics of the Property as presented in
Seller's offering memorandum (it being understood and agreed that Seller
makes no warranty or representation as to said offering memorandum), or (iii)
any material structural or environmental defect in the Property not known or
disclosed to Purchaser before December 22, 1997.
3.5 Purchaser agrees that any information obtained by Purchaser or
its authorized agents in the conduct of its due diligence will be treated as
confidential pursuant to Paragraph 9.17.
4. Title and Survey. Purchaser has ordered, at its expense (and upon
receipt, Purchaser shall promptly deliver copies to Seller): (i) a commitment
for a 1992 form ALTA Owner's title insurance policy with respect to the
Property from Commonwealth Land Title Insurance Company (the "Title Insurer")
in the amount of the Purchase Price, and (ii) copies of all documents
relating to title exceptions referred to therein. Seller has already
ordered, and Purchaser has received, at Purchaser's sole expense, a plat of
survey of the Property made in accordance with Minimum Standard Detail
Requirements for ALTA/ACSM Land Title Surveys (1992) pursuant to the accuracy
standards of an Urban Survey. On or before January 30, 1998, Purchaser
agrees to notify Seller of any objection Purchaser may have to any exceptions
reported in the commitment or any matter shown on the plat of survey (the
"Unacceptable Exceptions"). Seller will be responsible for satisfaction of
the Title Insurer's Schedule B-1 seller requirements. All other exceptions
and survey matters will be deemed acceptable to Purchaser. If Purchaser
fails to give such notice to Seller, the survey and all of the exceptions in
the title commitment will be deemed acceptable to Purchaser. Seller will
have ten (10) days after receipt of Purchaser's notice within which to notify
Purchaser whether Seller elects to either (a) eliminate or induce the Title
Insurer to insure over (subject to Purchaser's consent, not to be
unreasonably withheld) the Unacceptable Exceptions or (b) terminate this
Agreement. If Seller agrees to eliminate or induce to the Title Insurer to
insure over (with Purchaser's consent) the
3
Unacceptable Exceptions, Seller will be obligated to do so at its cost on or
prior to Closing. If Seller elects to terminate this Agreement, neither
party will have any further rights or obligations hereunder, except as
provided in Paragraph 9.15. If Seller fails to give any timely notice,
Seller will be deemed to have elected to terminate this Agreement. If any
other recorded exception to title is discovered after the commitment is
delivered to Purchaser, and Purchaser does not elect to waive such exception
upon the first to occur of (a) the Closing or (b) seven (7) days after being
notified of such exception and to proceed with the consummation of the
Closing, Seller will have fifteen (15) days after the expiration of said
seven (7) day period (and Closing will be delayed if necessary, so that it
occurs not earlier than twenty-two (22) days after Purchaser is notified of
such exception) after notifying Purchaser of such discovery in which to use
commercially reasonable efforts to eliminate or to induce the Title Insurer
to insure over (subject to Purchaser's approval, not to be unreasonably
withheld) such exception, and if such exception is not eliminated or insured
over as aforesaid within said 15-day period, Purchaser may terminate this
Agreement, in which event the Deposit will be returned to Purchaser and
neither party will have any further rights or obligations hereunder except as
provided in Paragraph 9.15, or close the sale subject to such exception.
Seller agrees that it will pay off at Closing (and not induce the Title
Insurer to insure over) title exceptions representing monetary liens of a
definite or ascertainable amount voluntarily granted by Seller. In using
commercially reasonable efforts to eliminate or to induce the Title Insurer
to insure over Unacceptable Exceptions, Seller will not be required to
litigate or to expend more than $10,000 in the aggregate. Ad valorem real
estate taxes not yet due and payable and all title and survey matters which
are not Unacceptable Exceptions are hereinafter referred to as Acceptable
Exceptions.

Purchaser, are or will be enforceable in accordance with their respective
terms, and do not and will not at Closing violate any provisions of any
agreement to which Purchaser is subject.
5.3 Limitations. Each of the representations and warranties of
Seller contained in Paragraph 5.1: (i) is made as of the date of this
Agreement; (ii) will be deemed to be remade by Seller, and to be true in all
material respects, as of Closing, subject to other matters expressly
permitted in this Agreement or otherwise specifically approved in writing by
Purchaser; and (iii) will survive for a period of one (1) year after the
Closing Date, as defined in Paragraph 8.1. Any claim that Purchaser may have
at any time against Seller for a breach of any such representation or
warranty, whether known or unknown, which is not asserted by notice from
Purchaser to Seller within such six (6) month period will not be valid or
effective, and Seller will have no liability with respect thereto. Nor will
Seller have any liability to Purchaser for a breach of any representation or
warranty unless the valid claims for all such breaches collectively aggregate
more than One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000.00), in which event the full
amount of such valid claims shall be actionable, subject to the limitation in
Section 9.10. The continued accuracy in all material respects of the
aforesaid representations and warranties is a condition precedent to
Purchaser's obligation to close. If any of said representations and
warranties is not correct in all material respects at the time the same is
made or as of Closing, and Seller had no knowledge of such inaccuracy when
the representation or warranty was made, or when remade at Closing, or if
such warranty or representation becomes inaccurate on or prior to Closing
other than by reason of Seller's default hereunder, Purchaser may, upon being
notified of such occurrence on or prior to Closing either (a) terminate this
Agreement without liability on the part of Seller or Purchaser, other than
Purchaser's indemnity contained in Paragraph 9.15 and the Deposit will be
returned to Purchaser, or (b) waive such matter and proceed to Closing, by
notice to Seller given within ten (10) days after Purchaser is notified of
such occurrence, but in no event later than Closing. If Purchaser fails to
give any notice within the required time period, Purchaser will be deemed to
have elected to waive such matter and to proceed to Closing. If any of said
representations and warranties are not correct in all material respects at
the time the same is made or as of Closing, and Seller had knowledge of such
inaccuracy when the representation or warranty was made, or, by its default
hereunder caused the representation or warranty to be inaccurate when remade
at Closing, Purchaser may either (x) terminate this Agreement subject to its
obligations under Paragraph 9.15, receive a return of the Deposit and recover
from Seller all of Purchaser's actual, reasonable out-of-pocket costs
incurred in connection with its review of
7
the Property or (y) waive the breach and its rights under clause (x) and
proceed to Closing, by notice to Seller given within ten (10) days after
Purchaser is notified of such occurrence, but in no event later than Closing.
If Purchaser fails to give any notice within the required time period,
Purchaser will be deemed to have elected to waive such matter and to proceed
to Closing.
5.4 Condition of Property. Except as expressly set forth in this
Agreement, Seller has not made and does not hereby make any representations,
warranties or other statements as to the condition of the Property and
Purchaser acknowledges that at Closing it is purchasing the Property on an
"AS IS, WHERE IS" basis and without relying on any representations and
warranties of any kind whatsoever, express or implied, from Seller, its
agents or brokers as to any matters concerning the Property. Except as
expressly set forth in this Agreement, no representations or warranties have
been made or are made and no responsibility has been or is assumed by Seller
or by any partner, officer, person, firm, agent or representative acting or
purporting to act on behalf of Seller as to the condition or repair of the
Property or the value, expense of operation, or income potential thereof or
as to any other fact or condition which has or might affect the Property or
the condition, repair, value, expense of operation or income potential of the
Property or any portion thereof. The parties agree that all understandings
and agreements heretofore made between them or their respective agents or
representatives are merged in this Agreement and the Schedules and Exhibits
hereto annexed, which alone fully and completely express their agreement, and
that this Agreement has been entered into after full investigation, or with
the parties satisfied with the opportunity afforded for investigation,
neither party relying upon any statement or representation by the other
unless such statement or representation is specifically embodied in this
Agreement or the Exhibits annexed hereto. Purchaser acknowledges that Seller
has requested Purchaser to inspect fully the Property and investigate all
matters relevant thereto and, with respect to the condition of the Property,
to rely solely upon the results of Purchaser's own inspections or other
information obtained or otherwise available to Purchaser, rather than any
information that may have been provided by Seller to Purchaser.
6. Closing Conditions. Purchaser's obligation to proceed to Closing
is conditioned upon Seller's performance of the following obligations and
satisfaction of the following conditions, in addition to all of its other
obligations and conditions contained in this Agreement, provided that
Purchaser may in its sole discretion elect to waive failure by Seller to
perform any particular obligation.
6.1 Title Insurance. The Title Insurer is prepared to issue a
policy of title insurance insuring Purchaser's interest in the Property being
conveyed, subject only to Acceptable Exceptions.
6.2 Estoppel Letters. Seller has delivered to Purchaser not later
than the date of Closing, estoppel letters substantially in the form of
Schedule 6.2 ("Required Estoppel Form") or in form otherwise reasonably
acceptable to Purchaser, prepared by Seller and
8
addressed to Purchaser, from tenants occupying in the aggregate at least 75%
of the Property, measured by square footage. All estoppel letters must be
dated not more than forty-five (45) days prior to the date of Closing. An
estoppel letter form, even though not in the Required Estoppel Form, will be
deemed reasonably acceptable to Purchaser if said letter contains the
following information: confirming rent, security deposit, square footage and
termination date; that no rent has been paid more than one month in advance;
that the lease is in full force and effect and that a true and correct copy
of the lease with all amendments and modifications is attached; and that all
work to be performed by Landlord has been performed and that the tenant has
no knowledge of any Landlord default.
6.2.1 If Seller is unable to obtain the requisite estoppel
letters as described above, Seller may (but is not required to) substitute
for any unsigned estoppel letter from a tenant other than a Major Tenant an
estoppel letter in the Required Estoppel Form, which may be completed,
executed and delivered by Seller and warranted and represented by Seller,
provided that such substituted estoppel letters will not collectively
represent in excess of 10% of all of the tenants, measured by square footage.
Seller's representations and warranties in the certificates will survive the
Closing subject to the limitations of Paragraph 5.3. In the event that,
following the Closing Date, Seller or Purchaser obtains an estoppel letter
complying with the requirements of Paragraph 6.2 with respect to any lease
for which Seller delivered a substituted estoppel letter, Seller will deliver
such estoppel letter to Purchaser and, upon such delivery, Seller will be
automatically released from any liability or obligation under the substituted
estoppel letter previously delivered by Seller with respect to such lease.
Purchaser may (but shall not be required to) accept a substituted estoppel
letter as to a Major Tenant as well.
6.2.2 If Seller is unable to obtain and deliver sufficient
tenant estoppel certificates as required under Paragraph 6.2, or if the
letters received under Paragraph 6.2 or substituted estoppels permitted under
Paragraph 6.2.1 contain information or omissions unacceptable to Purchaser in
its reasonable discretion, then Seller will not be in default by reason
thereof, but Purchaser may, by notice given to Seller before the Closing,
elect (i) to waive said conditions and proceed with the Closing or (ii) to
terminate this Agreement, and receive a refund of the Deposit. If Purchaser
elects to terminate this Agreement, neither party will have any further
rights or obligations hereunder except as provided in Paragraph 9.15.
6.3 Representations and Warranties. All of Seller's
representations and warranties made pursuant to Paragraph 5.1 remain true and
correct in all material respects.
6.4 Seller Performance. Seller has delivered all of the documents
and other items required pursuant to Paragraph 8.6 and has performed all
other covenants, undertakings and obligations required by this Agreement, to
be performed or complied with by Seller at or prior to Closing.
7. Other Agreements. The obligations of Purchaser and Seller to close
hereunder shall also be conditioned upon the simultaneous closing of (a) the
purchase by Purchaser or an
9
affiliate of Purchaser, of twelve industrial and office buildings and a
parcel of vacant land in King of Prussia Business Park, King of Prussia,
Pennsylvania, pursuant to that certain Agreement of Purchase and Sale of even
date herewith ("KOP Agreement") between Purchaser, as purchaser, and RREEF
USA Fund-I ("KOP Owner"), as seller, and (b) the purchase by Purchaser or an
affiliate of Purchaser, of the industrial building commonly known as 000
Xxxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxxxx, pursuant to that certain Agreement
of Purchase and Sale of even date herewith (the "Xxxxxxx Court Agreement";
the KOP Agreement and the Xxxxxxx Court Agreement collectively the "Other
Agreements") between Purchaser, as purchaser, and RREEF MidAmerica East-V
Six, Inc. ("Xxxxxxx Court Owner"; the KOP Owner and the Xxxxxxx Court Owner
are collectively referred to as the "Other Owners"), as seller. This
condition may be waived by the parties. Without limiting the generality of
the foregoing, if Purchaser terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 3
or Section 4, the Other Owners shall have the right to terminate the Other
Agreements as well; or, if Purchaser terminates one or more of the Other
Agreements pursuant to Section 3 or Section 4 of the Other Agreements, Seller
shall have the right to terminate this Agreement as well. A default by
Purchaser under one or more of the Other Agreements shall be deemed a
Purchaser default hereunder, and a default by an Other Owner under one or
more of the Other Agreements shall be deemed a Seller default hereunder.
8. Closing.
8.1 Closing of Sale. The purchase and sale contemplated herein
shall close (herein referred to as the "Closing") at the office of the Title
Insurer, or as otherwise mutually agreed, on a date selected by Seller, which
date (the "Closing Date") shall not be earlier than the date which is fifteen
(15) days after the expiration of the Review Period nor more than thirty (30)
days after expiration of the Review Period, time being of the essence. At
Closing, Seller will deliver to Purchaser a Special Warranty Deed ("Deed") in
the form of Schedule 8.6.1 and other closing documents required hereunder and
Purchaser will cause payment of the Purchase Price to be made to Seller by
wire transfer. The sale (payment of the Purchase Price and delivery of the
Deed) may, at Purchaser's option to be exercised by notice to Seller at least
five (5) days prior to the Closing Date, be closed through escrow with the
Title Insurer in accordance with the general provisions of the usual form of
escrow agreement used in similar transactions by such Title Insurer with
special provisions inserted (i) as may be required to conform with this
Agreement and (ii) to close on a so-called "New York Style" basis.
8.2 Prorations; Adjustments. The parties will prorate taxes,
rental, and other income, and operating or other expenses of the Property as
of 12:01 a.m. on the date after Closing (i.e., Seller is entitled to the
income and responsible for the expenses of the day of Closing). All income
will be prorated on the basis of income actually received by Seller, as
opposed to income which is due or for which Seller has rendered invoices but
which has not been paid (i.e., Seller will not be entitled to any credit for
receivables, and there will be no proration as to such receivables). Any
taxes or other expenses of the Property for any period prior to Closing which
are payable by tenants of the Property subsequent to Closing (e.g., real
estate taxes paid in arrears and not yet billed to tenants), will reduce the
credit to Purchaser for such items (i.e., no
10
credit from Seller for pass-through items for which Purchaser will later
collect from the tenants). To the extent that the taxes to be prorated are
not known with certainty, such proration will be based upon the most recent
tax xxxx or county estimate, to be re-prorated upon issuance of final bills.
Seller also agrees to give Purchaser a credit against the Purchase Price for
all cash security deposits required to be held pursuant to the Leases (less
portions thereof applied by Seller to tenant defaults and not subsequently
restored by the tenant in question) and all interest due thereon and shall
assign to Purchaser any other tenant deposits held by Seller. Purchaser will
pay amounts subsequently received by it from tenants constituting base rent,
capital reimbursements or other income due from tenants and attributable to
Seller's period of ownership, but not collected as of the date of Closing, to
Seller promptly upon receipt; provided that amounts received from tenants by
Purchaser will be first applied to current charges, and the balance will be
applied to payments due to Seller. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller
shall expressly reserve the right to seek to collect, directly from the
tenants after Closing and with Purchaser's cooperation, any delinquencies and
other amounts attributable to Seller's period of ownership, but not collected
as of the date of Closing. To the extent Seller has received amounts from
tenants for real estate taxes and 1997 and 1998 operating expenses in excess
of amounts paid by Seller with respect to such expenses, Seller will credit
such excess to Purchaser at Closing, and Seller will provide adequate backup
information in connection with such credit. On or after the Closing, Seller
will have no further obligations with respect to any Leases or other
agreements affecting the Property, including, without limitation, tenant
improvement work, leasing commissions and free rent.
8.2.1 Seller and Purchaser hereby agree to use their
reasonable efforts to calculate prorations (including real estate tax
prorations) so as to permit settlement thereof on the Closing Date, provided,
however, that if any of such prorations cannot be calculated accurately on
the Closing Date, then the same will be calculated as soon as reasonably
practicable after the Closing Date, but in no event later than the later to
occur of (i) thirty (30) days after Seller receives its final cost
certification for the year in which Closing occurs, or (ii) March 31 of the
year following the year in which Closing occurs, and either party owing the
other party a sum of money based on such subsequent proration(s) shall
promptly pay said sum to the other party, together with interest thereon at
the rate of two percent (2%) per annum over the "prime rate" (as announced
from time to time in the Wall Street Journal) from the Closing Date to the
date of payment if payment is not made within thirty (30) days after delivery
of a xxxx therefor together with reasonable back-up documentation. This
obligation of the parties will survive Closing.
8.3 Proration of Service Charges. To the extent Seller, as
opposed to tenants, is responsible for payment of utility charges, Seller
will attempt to have utility meters read as of the Closing Date. To the
extent that this is not possible and to the extent that any other obligation
for continuing services is incurred, and statements are rendered for such
services covering periods both before and after the Closing Date, the amount
will be adjusted between the parties as of the Closing Date on a per-diem
basis. Seller will forward any such statements which it receives to
Purchaser and Purchaser will pay the same. Seller will remit to Purchaser its
proportionate share immediately upon demand.
11
8.4 Closing Costs. Purchaser agrees to pay (i) the Title
Insurer's escrow and/or closing fees (including any payment to the closing
officer of the Title Insurer as may be the local custom at the Closing), (ii)
the cost of the title commitment and basic policy and endorsements, if any,
required to meet Seller's obligations hereunder and the cost of any
endorsements to the title policy required by Purchaser, including extended
coverage, (iii) all recording fees and taxes with respect to the Deed, (iv)
all costs of Purchaser's physical inspections of the Property (environmental,
engineering) and other due diligence activities; (v) all costs of survey,
including fees and charges of Gannett Xxxxxxx Associates (originally engaged
by Seller); (vi) cancellation charges, if applicable, to Coventry Abstract
(originally engaged by Seller); and (vii) one-half (1/2) of applicable
transfer taxes. Seller agrees to pay (i) all recording fees with respect to
clearing Seller's title, and (ii) one-half (1/2) of applicable transfer
taxes. Except as otherwise provided in Paragraph 9.9, each party is
responsible for its own attorneys' and other professional fees. All other
closing costs shall be allocated in accordance with the prevailing local
custom.
8.5 Possession. Subject to the rights of tenants pursuant to
Leases delivered to Purchaser, Seller will deliver possession of the Property
and of any conveyed personal property to the Purchaser on the date of Closing
and Seller will thereupon deliver to Purchaser the originals of all Leases,
all correspondence with tenants, tenant/lease files, operating statements,
plans and specifications, supplies and advertising materials, booklets, keys,
and other items used in connection with operation of the Property.
8.6 Seller's Closing Documents. As part of the Closing, Seller
will deliver to Purchaser:
8.6.1 the Deed, in the form of Schedule 8.6.1
8.6.2 an affidavit in customary form that Seller is not a
foreign person within the meaning of Section 1445(e) of the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, in the form of Schedule 8.6.2;
8.6.3 such affidavits as are customarily required by Title
Insurer in connection with issuance of the owner's basic title insurance
policy, including a mechanics' lien and judgment affidavit;
8.6.4 an assignment of the Leases in the form of Schedule
8.6.4 ("Lease Assignment");
8.6.5 an assignment of contracts and warranties in the
form of Schedule 8.6.5 ("Contracts Assignment"), assigning to Purchaser all
contracts listed on Schedule 5.1.5, other than those designated by Purchaser
for termination by notice to Seller not less than thirty (30) days prior to
Closing;
12
8.6.6 an assignment of intangibles in the form of Schedule
8.6.6 ("Intangibles Assignment");
8.6.7 letters, in form to be supplied by Purchaser, to the
tenants at the Property, instructing the tenants to pay rent to Purchaser
and to recognize Purchaser as landlord under their Leases;
8.6.8 a xxxx of sale conveying all personal property of
Seller, if any, located at the Property and used in connection with the
maintenance or operation thereof (specifically excluding furniture, fixtures
and equipment owned by RREEF Management Company and located in the RREEF
Management Company office), in the form of Schedule 8.6.8;
8.6.9 a rent roll, certified by Seller as being true and
correct, to Seller's knowledge, as of the Closing Date, in the form
previously delivered to Purchaser;
8.6.10 a "bring down certificate" stating that Seller's
representations and warranties are true and correct as of the Closing Date,
in the form of Schedule 8.6.10;
8.6.11 estoppel certificates as required by Paragraph 6.2
herein; and
8.6.12 all other documents, instruments or writings which
may be reasonably required to consummate the transactions contemplated herein.
8.7 Purchaser's Closing Documents. As part of the Closing,
Purchaser will deliver to Seller:
8.7.1 good federal funds in an amount equal to the
Purchase Price, less the Deposit and interest thereon and plus or minus
prorations as provided herein and plus funds sufficient to pay Purchaser's
closing costs hereunder;
8.7.2 such affidavits as are customarily required by Title
Insurer in connection with issuance of the owner's title insurance policy;

8.7.5 executed counterpart of the Intangibles Assignment;
8.7.6 all other documents, instruments or writings which

execute and deliver to each other the following documents in proper form:
8.8.1 Closing Statement;
8.8.2 City, county and state transfer tax declarations or
similar instruments; and
8.8.3 All other documents, instruments or writings which
may be reasonably required to consummate the transactions contemplated herein.
9. Miscellaneous.
9.1 Modifications. This Agreement can be amended only in writing
signed by both of the parties.
9.2 Casualty and Condemnation. Seller agrees to keep its
customary replacement cost insurance covering the Property in effect until
the Closing. If between the Effective Date and the Closing the improvements
on the Property are destroyed or damaged to the extent that repairs cost in
excess of $250,000 in the estimate of an architect or contractor selected by
Seller and reasonably acceptable to Purchaser, or if condemnation proceedings
are commenced against the Property, Purchaser may (i) terminate this
Agreement or (ii) elect to accept the Property in its then condition, in
which event Seller will pay or assign to Purchase at Closing all proceeds of
insurance (plus the applicable deductible) or condemnation awards payable to
Seller by reason of such damage or condemnation. In the event Purchaser
makes neither election by the earlier of (a) Closing or (b) ten (10) days
after being advised of such casualty or condemnation, Purchaser will be
deemed to have elected to accept the Property in its then condition. In the
event of any other damage to the Property, Seller may either repair the
damage or give Purchaser a reduction in the Purchase Price equal to the cost
of repairing such damage, as certified by an architect or contractor selected
by Seller and reasonably acceptable to Purchaser. In the event of any damage
where Purchaser does not have the right to terminate and Seller elects to
repair such damage, the Closing Date shall be delayed for the number of days
required to repair the damage, which Seller agrees to do in accordance with
all Laws and in a good and workmanlike manner.
9.3 Time of Essence. Time (including, without limitation, the
date specified as the Closing Date) is of the essence of this Agreement.
9.4 Notices. All notices required or permitted hereunder must be

9.5 Parties Bound. Neither party may assign this Agreement
without the prior written consent of the other, and any such prohibited
assignment shall be void; provided that Purchaser may assign this Agreement
without Seller's consent to an Affiliate; provided that the assignee is not a
party-in-interest as described in Paragraph 9.14. Subject to the foregoing,
this Agreement is binding upon and inure to the benefit of the respective
legal representatives, successors, assigns, heirs, and devisees of the
parties. For the purposes of this Paragraph, the term "Affiliate" means (a)
an entity that directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by or is under
common control with the Purchaser or (b) an entity at least a majority of
whose economic interest is owned by Purchaser; and the term "control" means
the power to direct the management of such entity through voting rights,
ownership or contractual obligations.
9.6 Governing Law. The performance and interpretation of this
Agreement is controlled by the law of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
9.7 Continuation Until Closing; Leasing.
9.7.1 Between the Effective Date and the Closing, Seller
agrees to keep and perform all of the obligations to be performed by landlord
under any Leases and Laws. Seller agrees to operate the Property in the same
manner as before the making of this Agreement, the same as though Seller were
retaining the Property. Seller agrees not to convey the Property, nor to
grant any liens or easements with respect thereto.
9.7.2 Seller shall not permit or consent to any new
leases, amendments, extensions, renewals (other than pursuant to tenant
renewal options, if any) or subleases without first submitting them to
Purchaser for Purchaser's approval on an approval form in the form attached
hereto as Schedule 9.7.2, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.
Purchaser shall have three (3) business days to notify Seller of its approval
of such leases, amendments, extensions, renewals or subleases, and in the
event that Purchaser does not so notify Seller, the leases, amendments,
extensions, renewals or subleases, as the case may be, shall be deemed
approved.
9.7.3 With respect to any new lease or lease modification
entered into by Seller after December 18, 1997 and approved by Purchaser, by
the terms of which Seller obligates itself to perform or performs or pays or
contracts for any tenant improvement work or additional landlord work
required pursuant to such lease, or pays or contracts for any leasing
commissions or grants any free rent period or other financial concessions,
then such expenses and/or free rent or other concessions, and all other
third-party costs incurred (including attorneys' fees) in connection with
such lease, will be a credit to Seller at Closing to the extent Seller paid
such amounts prior to Closing; otherwise Purchaser agrees to assume liability
for the payment and performance of such obligations in accordance with the
terms thereof.
9.8 Brokers. Seller and Purchaser each (i) represents and
warrants to the other that it has not dealt with any broker or finder in
connection with the transaction contemplated by
16
this Agreement other than the parties, if any, to be paid a commission as
specified in Paragraph 9.11, and (ii) agrees to defend, indemnify and hold
the other harmless from and against any losses, damages, costs, or expenses
(including attorneys' fees) incurred by such other party due to a breach of
the foregoing warranty by the indemnifying party.
9.9 Attorneys' Fees. Notwithstanding any limitation on remedies
or amounts recoverable set forth elsewhere herein, if any action is brought
by either party against the other party, the party in whose favor final
judgment is entered will be entitled to recover court costs incurred and
reasonable attorneys' fees at trial, upon appeal and on any petition for
review.
9.10 Remedies for Non-Performance. Purchaser's remedies regarding
breach of warranty or representation by Seller are governed by Paragraph 5.3.
In the event of any other default by Seller hereunder, Purchaser may, as its
sole and exclusive remedy, either (i) terminate this Agreement and seek
damages, subject to performance of Purchaser's indemnities set forth in
Paragraph 9.15, and receive back the Deposit or (ii) seek specific
performance. If said sale is not consummated because of a default under this
Agreement on the part of Purchaser, the Deposit will be paid to and retained
by Seller as Seller's sole and exclusive remedy. Seller and Purchaser
acknowledge that the Deposit is a reasonable forecast of just compensation
for the harm that could be caused by Purchaser's default and that the harm
suffered by Seller is difficult or impossible to accurately ascertain or
predict. NOTWITHSTANDING ANY OTHER PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT TO THE
CONTRARY, SELLER'S TOTAL LIABILITY FOR DAMAGES FOR BREACH OF THE COVENANTS,
AGREEMENTS, WARRANTIES AND REPRESENTATIONS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER
AGREEMENTS, COLLECTIVELY, SHALL NEVER EXCEED TWO MILLION DOLLARS
($2,000,000.00), AND IN NO EVENT SHALL SELLER BE LIABLE FOR SPECIAL,
EXEMPLARY, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES.
9.11 Brokers Commission. Seller agrees to pay the brokerage
commission due The Xxxxx Company pursuant to a separate agreement.
9.12 Survival of Covenants. All covenants hereunder which, by
their terms, are intended to survive Closing will survive Closing hereunder.
9.13 Seller's Investment Committee Approval. This condition has
been satisfied.
9.14 ERISA. Purchaser represents and warrants to Seller that none
of Purchaser's assets are "plan assets," (as that term is defined by 29 CFR
Section 2510.3-101) because all plans that are subject to the provisions of
the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, and which
have invested in Purchaser hold only "equity interests," (as that term is
defined by 29 CFR Section 2510.3-101(b)(1)) that are "publicly-offered
securities," (as that term is defined by 29 CFR Section 2510.3-101(b)(2)).
Purchaser further represents and warrants to Seller that
17
it is not any one of the types of entities listed in 29 CFR Section
2510.3-101(h), the character of which would identify its assets as "plan
assets."
9.15 Entry and Indemnity. In connection with any entry by
Purchaser, or its agents, employees or contractors onto the Property,
Purchaser shall give Seller reasonable advance notice of such entry and shall
conduct such entry and any inspections in connection therewith so as to
minimize, to the greatest extent possible, interference with Seller's
business and the business of Seller's tenants and otherwise in a manner
reasonably acceptable to Seller. Without limiting the foregoing, prior to any
entry to perform any on-site testing, Purchaser shall give Seller notice
thereof, including the identity of the company or persons who will perform
such testing and the proposed scope of the testing. Seller shall approve or
disapprove the scope and methodology of such proposed testing within three
(3) business days after receipt of such notice, such approval to be within
the sole and unfettered discretion of Seller; Seller's failure to notify
Purchaser of its approval or disapproval shall be deemed to be Seller's
disapproval thereof. If Purchaser or its agents, employees or contractors
take any sample from the Property in connection with any such approved
testing, upon Seller's request, Purchaser shall provide to Seller a portion
of such sample being tested to allow Seller, if it so chooses, to perform its
own testing. Seller or its representative may be present to observe any
testing or other inspection performed on the Property. Upon Seller's
request, Purchaser shall promptly deliver to Seller copies of any reports
relating to any testing or other inspection of the Property performed by
Purchaser or its agents, employees or contractors. Purchaser shall maintain,
and shall assure that its contractors maintain, public liability and property
damage insurance in amounts and in form and substance adequate to insure
against all liability of Purchaser, 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 upon request by Seller. Purchaser shall indemnify, defend
and hold Seller harmless from and against any costs, damages, liabilities,
losses, expenses, liens or claims (including, without limitation, reasonable
attorney's fees) arising out of or relating to any entry on the Property by
Purchaser, its agents, employees or contractors in the course of performing
the inspections, testings or inquiries provided for in this Agreement,
including without limitation damage to the Property or release of hazardous
substances or materials onto the Property, excluding, however, any costs
incurred by Seller in supervising Purchaser's testing. The foregoing
indemnity shall survive beyond the Closing, or if the sale is not
consummated, beyond the termination of this Agreement.
9.16 Release. Except to the extent of the representations and
warranties of Seller expressly set forth in this Agreement, and except to the
extent of a breach by Seller of applicable laws, but otherwise
notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary,
Purchaser, on behalf of itself and its successors and assigns, waives its
right to recover from, and forever releases and discharges, Seller, Seller's
affiliates, Seller's investment manager, the partners, trustees,
shareholders, directors, officers, employees and agents of each of them, and
their respective heirs, successors, personal representatives and assigns
(collectively, the "Seller Related Parties"), from any and all demands,
claims, legal or administrative proceedings, losses, liabilities, damages,
penalties, fines, liens, judgments, costs or expenses whatsoever (including,
18
without limitation, attorneys' fees and costs), whether direct or indirect,
known or unknown, foreseen or unforeseen, which may arise on account of or in
any way be connected with the physical condition of the Property or any law
or regulation applicable thereto, including, without limitation, the
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980,
as amended (42 U.S.C. Sections 9601 et seq.), the Resources Conservation and
Recovery Act of 1976 (42 U.S.C. Section 6901 et seq.), the Clean Water Act
(33 U.S.C. Section 466 et seq.), the Safe Drinking Water Act (14 U.S.C.
Sections 1401-1450), the Hazardous Materials Transportation Act (49 U.S.C.
Section 1801 et seq.), and the Toxic Substance Control Act (15 U.S.C.
Sections 2601-2629)
9.17 Confidential Information. The parties acknowledge that the
transaction described herein is of a confidential nature and shall not be
disclosed except to consultants, investors, advisors, and affiliates, or as
required by law. No party will make any public disclosure of the specific
terms of this Agreement, except as required by law. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, any press release or other public disclosure
regarding this Agreement or the transactions contemplated herein, and the
wording of same, must be approved in advance by both parties. In connection

transactions contemplated hereby. In the event of the termination of this
Agreement for any reason whatsoever, Purchaser will return to Seller, at
Seller's request, all documents, work papers, and other material (including
all copies thereof) obtained from Seller in connection with the transactions
contemplated hereby, and each party shall use its best efforts, including
instructing its employees and others who have had access to such information,
to keep confidential and not to use any such information. The provisions of
this Paragraph 9.17 will survive the Closing or, if the purchase and sale is
not consummated, any termination of this Agreement.

computing any period of time described herein, the day of the act or event,
after which the designated period of time begins to run, is not to be
included and the last day of the period so computed is to be included, unless
such last day is a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday, in which event the
period shall run until the end of the next day which is neither a Saturday,

parties with respect to the subject matter hereof
9.20 Severability. Any term or provision of this Agreement that is
invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction will, as to such jurisdiction,
