4. Conditions Precedent to Closing. Purchaser’s obligation to consummate the transaction contemplated by this Agreement shall be subject to satisfaction or waiver of each of the following conditions (“Conditions Precedent”) on or before 5:00 p.m. Central Daylight Time on July 2, 2007 (“Contingency Date”):
(a) Title/Survey. Prior to the date hereof, Partnership has furnished to Purchaser (i) separate current title commitments (“Commitments”) for owners’ title policies for each Project issued by the Title Company showing title in the appropriate Subsidiary as shown on Schedule 1 attached hereto (with copies of all underlying title documents listed in the Commitments), subject only to the encumbrances set forth on Exhibit H attached hereto and made a part hereof or otherwise permitted by Purchaser (collectively, the “Permitted Encumbrances”) (which Commitments shall be in nominal amounts, but shall be increased to the allocated Purchase Price at Closing so that the total aggregate coverage of the Commitments equals the total Purchase Price), and (ii) separate surveys (“Surveys”) for each Project prepared in accordance with the Minimum Standard Detail Requirements for Class A Land Title Surveys (jointly established by ALTA/ACSM as revised in 2005) which shall be (prior to Closing) certified to Purchaser and the Title Company. If any of the Surveys disclose survey defects other than Permitted Encumbrances or if any of the Commitments show exceptions other than Permitted Encumbrances which defects or exceptions are not acceptable to Purchaser (collectively, “Unpermitted Encumbrances”), then Purchaser shall notify Partnership in writing on or before June 21, 2007 (the “Title Notice Date”), specifying the Unpermitted Encumbrances and, prior to the Contingency Date, Purchaser shall have received assurances satisfactory to Purchaser, in its reasonable discretion, that the Unpermitted Encumbrances will be removed or endorsed over on or before Closing. Any encumbrances to which Purchaser has not objected on or before the Title Notice Date shall be deemed “Permitted Encumbrances” from and after the Title Notice Date. In addition, if Partnership or a Subsidiary has not expressly agreed in writing on or before the Contingency Date that Partnership or such Subsidiary will remove or cause the Title Company to endorse over any encumbrances to which Purchaser has objected, then such encumbrances shall be deemed “Permitted Encumbrances” (and shall no longer be Unpermitted Encumbrances) from and after the Contingency Date if Purchaser has not terminated this Agreement as allowed herein, prior to the Contingency Date. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Partnership shall have no obligation to correct, cure or remove any Unpermitted Encumbrances; provided, however, that Partnership covenants to cause all monetary and financing liens and encumbrances created by or through Partnership (other than the liens for non-delinquent real property taxes and the liens relating to the Existing Debt) to be eliminated at Partnership’s sole cost and expense (including all pre-payment penalties and charges) prior to or concurrently with Closing.
5
(b) Due Diligence Materials; Tests. Partnership shall, within two (2) business days following execution of this Agreement, deliver to Purchaser the due diligence materials listed on Schedule 3 in the possession or control of Partnership or the relevant Subsidiaries with respect to the Subject Property, for Purchaser’s review and analysis. Except as otherwise provided herein, it is the parties’ express understanding and agreement that such materials are provided only for Purchaser’s convenience in making its own examination and determination prior to the Contingency Date, as to whether or not it wishes to purchase the Subject Property, and, in doing so, Purchaser shall rely exclusively on its own independent investigation and evaluation of every aspect of the Subject Property and on the express representations of Partnership or any Subsidiary contained herein and not on any materials supplied by Partnership or the Subsidiaries. Partnership shall allow Purchaser and Purchaser’s officers, employees, agents, attorneys, architects and engineers access to the Real Property, subject to the rights of the tenants under the Leases (collectively, “Tenants”) without charge and at all reasonable times, for the purpose of making such inspections, tests and verifications (collectively, “Tests”) as they shall deem reasonably necessary. Purchaser’s access rights shall commence on the date of this Agreement and continue until the earliest to occur of the following: (i) the date Partnership terminates this Agreement in accordance with the terms hereof; (ii) the date Purchaser terminates this Agreement in accordance with the terms hereof, or (iii) the Closing. On or before the Contingency Date, Purchaser shall be satisfied, in its sole and absolute discretion, with the results of the Tests. Purchaser shall pay all costs and expenses of the Tests, and except for those matters caused by the negligent acts or omissions of Partnership. Purchaser and shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless Partnership, and the Subsidiaries, and their respective agents, employees and contractors, and the Subject Property, from and against any and all loss, cost, damage, liability, settlement, cause of action or threat thereof or expense (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs) arising from or relating to the Tests, but excluding claims arising from Purchaser’s discovery of existing conditions on the Subject Property (except to the extent such existing conditions were exacerbated by the Tests). Purchaser shall carry and shall cause any consultants retained by Purchaser to carry policies of commercial general liability insurance in an amount not less than $5,000,000 combined single limit per occurrence for bodily injury, death and property damage liability and provide evidence of such insurance to Partnership prior to commencing the Tests. Purchaser shall promptly repair and restore any damage to the Subject Property attributable to the conduct of the Tests or Purchaser’s presence or activity on the Subject Property, and shall promptly return the Subject Property to substantially the same condition as existed prior to the conduct of the Tests. No Tests shall be conducted without Partnership’s approval as to the time and manner of such Tests, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, and no invasive testing (including Phase II environmental assessments) shall be performed without Partnership’s approval. At Partnership’s sole option, any such Tests shall be performed in the presence of a representative of Partnership. All Tests shall be conducted in such a manner so as to minimize interference with the operation of the Subject Property and the business of any and all Tenants and occupants thereof. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, the indemnity, defense and hold harmless obligations of Purchaser under this Section 4(b) shall survive Closing and any termination of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Partnership and the Subsidiaries shall have no obligation to make any repairs or improvements to the Subject Property.
Purchaser shall be permitted to interview Tenants at a time reasonably acceptable to Partnership and the Tenants, provided that Partnership may have a representative present at any such interviews.
Purchaser has informed the Partnership that Purchaser is required by law to complete with respect to certain matters relating to the Subject Property an audit commonly known as a “3-14” Audit (“Purchaser’s 3-14 Audit”). In connection with the performance of Purchaser’s 3-14 Audit, Partnership shall deliver to Purchaser, as part of the due diligence materials provided to Purchaser as provided for in this Agreement, (a) the documents which are described on Exhibit N attached hereto, to the extent in
6
existence and in Partnership’s possession with respect to the time periods during which the Subject Property was owned by the relevant Subsidiary (collectively, the “Audit Documentation”), and (b) provide to Purchaser in written form, as determined by Partnership, answers to the questions relating to the Subject Property which are expressly set forth in Exhibit N (the “Written Answers”) (provided that neither Partnership nor any Subsidiary shall be required to answer any additional written questionnaires in connection with Purchaser’s 3-14 Audit and shall not be required to deliver any confidential or proprietary information of Partnership or Subsidiaries, including appraisals, organizational documents, documents relating to the capitalization of Partnership, its partners or any Subsidiaries, whether through debt or equity, the Partnership or the relevant Subsidiary’s basis in the Subject Property, and internal reports, or any materials not related to the Subject Property). All such Audit Documentation and Written Answers are provided by Partnership or the Subsidiaries without any representation or warranty. Purchaser waives all claims against Partnership and Subsidiaries in connection with the preparation of the Audit Documentation and Written Answers provided to Purchaser or its auditors with respect to the Subject Property. Purchaser shall indemnify and defend Partnership and Subsidiaries and their respective officers, directors, employees, members and affiliates against any and all claims, demands, causes of action, losses, damages, liabilities, judgments, costs and expenses (including attorney’s fees) arising in connection with the preparation and delivery of the Audit Documentation and Written Answers, including any claims based on the accuracy or completeness of the Audit Documentation or Written Answers or compliance of such Audit Documentation or Written Answers with applicable laws. Purchaser’s indemnification obligations contained in this Section 4 shall survive Closing.
(c) Loan Assumption. Purchaser shall have until the Contingency Date to
(i) determine, in Purchaser’s sole discretion, the terms on which Purchaser shall assume the Existing Debt, and
(ii) approve, in Purchaser’s sole discretion, the Loan Documents and the form of documents (the “Loan Assumption Documents”) that the Lender, Purchaser, Partnership and ORE Ventures MN execute in connection with Lender’s consent to the proposed transfer of the Cedar Bluffs Project to Purchaser and Purchaser’s assumption of the Loan Documents, which determination and approval shall be set forth in a written notice (the “Loan Assumption Notice”) delivered to Partnership on or prior to the Contingency Date. If Purchaser agrees to assume the Existing Debt (the “Assumption”) through the delivery to Partnership of the Loan Assumption Notice, Purchaser shall assume the principal balance outstanding under the Existing Debt as of the Closing and all interest accruing after the Closing (the “Assumed Debt”), and any loan assumption fee payable in connection with the Assumption, all transfer or other fees, costs and expenses charged by third parties (other than Purchaser’s counsel) in connection with Purchaser’s assumption of the Loan Documents, all recording costs and expenses relating to the recordation of any assignment agreement or other documentation relating to Purchaser’s assumption of the Loan Documents (including attorneys’ fees incurred by the lenders under the Loan Documents), all title insurance premiums required in connection with the Assumption, and any other fees, penalties, charges, costs and expenses relating to the Assumption, shall be paid by Partnership. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event Purchaser negotiates any changes to the Loan Documents (other than changes necessary to effectuate the assumption of the Existing Debt as described in this Agreement) or incurs additional debt with respect to the Cedar Bluffs Project, Purchaser shall be responsible for all costs, fees, title premiums and mortgage registration tax resulting from or relating to such modifications. If Purchaser fails to deliver the Loan Assumption Notice to Partnership on or before the Contingency Date, this Agreement shall terminate
7
with respect to the entire Portfolio, as a whole, and Purchaser shall receive a return of the Xxxxxxx Money together with any interest earned thereon, provided Purchaser shall execute any documents reasonably required by Partnership to evidence such termination including, without limitation, quit claim deeds.
Purchaser shall, on or before the Contingency Date notify Partnership in writing if the Conditions Precedent have not been satisfied or waived by Purchaser, in Purchaser’s sole and absolute discretion with respect to the entire Portfolio, as a whole (or, if and to the extent permitted under Section 20 hereof, excluding certain Projects) and that Purchaser has elected to terminate this Agreement (which election shall be in Purchaser’s sole and absolute discretion). If Purchaser so timely notifies Partnership, then this Agreement shall terminate with respect to the entire Portfolio, as a whole, and Purchaser shall receive a return of the Xxxxxxx Money together with any interest earned thereon, provided Purchaser shall execute any documents reasonably required by Partnership to evidence such termination including, without limitation, quit claim deeds. Upon such termination, neither party will have any further rights or obligations (other than the Surviving Indemnity Obligations, which obligations shall survive any such termination) regarding this Agreement or the Subject Property with respect to the entire Portfolio, as a whole. If Purchaser gives notice that the Conditions Precedent have been satisfied or waived by Purchaser with respect to the Portfolio, as a whole (or, if and to the extent permitted under Section 20 hereof, excluding certain Projects), or if Purchaser fails to notify Partnership on or prior to the Contingency Date that the Conditions Precedent have not been satisfied or waived by Purchaser, then Purchaser’s termination right set forth in this Section 4 shall be deemed to have been waived by Purchaser with respect to the entire Portfolio, as a whole, in which event (i) Purchaser shall deposit the Nonrefundable Second Xxxxxxx Money with the Title Company, (ii) the Initial Xxxxxxx Money and the Nonrefundable Second Xxxxxxx Money shall become nonrefundable as of the Contingency Date subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and (iii) the parties shall proceed to Closing in accordance with the provisions herein contained.
5. Covenants by Partnership. Partnership covenants and agrees with Purchaser that from the date hereof until the Closing Date or earlier termination of this Agreement, Partnership shall conduct and cause the Subsidiaries to conduct their business involving the Subject Property as follows (except as specifically provided to the contrary herein):
(a) Transfers; Easements. Partnership shall refrain from conveying the Subject Property, except to an affiliate or Subsidiary (which transfer, if any, will be made subject to the rights of Purchaser under this Agreement), or creating on the Subject Property any easements affecting the Subject Property other than as may be required by any applicable governmental or quasi-governmental authority or by a provider of utility services, and refrain from removing any fixture or equipment; provided, however, nothing herein shall preclude Partnership, any Subsidiary or the property manager from replacing any equipment, supplies or machinery in the ordinary course of operating the Subject Property. Partnership shall, upon Partnership’s or a Subsidiary’s receipt, deliver to Purchaser a copy of any easement so required by any governmental or quasi-governmental authority or provider of utility services affecting the Subject Property (which shall require the consent of Purchaser, not to be unreasonably withheld), and any such easement, if approved, shall constitute a Permitted Encumbrance. Notwithstanding the foregoing, ORE OH shall have the right to enter into a sewer easement in connection with the Park 75 Project without the prior consent of Purchaser, so long as ORE OH provides a copy of such easement (which must be depicted on the Survey for the Park 75 Project) to Purchaser no less than five (5) business days prior to the Contingency Date and provided such easement does not adversely affect the value of the Park 75 Project or adversely affect the operations at the Park 75 Project.
8
(b) Contracts. Partnership shall refrain from (and cause the Subsidiaries to refrain from) entering into or amending any material contracts or other agreements regarding the Subject Property that would be binding on Purchaser following consummation of the sale contemplated by this Agreement (other than leases, which are governed by Sections 5(d) and (e) below, and other than contracts in the ordinary course of business which are cancelable by the owner of the Subject Property without penalty within thirty (30) days after giving notice thereof) without the prior written consent of Purchaser, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed and which shall be deemed given by Purchaser if Purchaser does not object to Partnership’s request for approval within three (3) days.
(c) Operation. Operate and maintain the Subject Property in a manner consistent with the existing operation, maintenance, repair and insurance of the Subject Property.
(d) Qualified Leases. At any time prior to the Closing Date, ORE TX may enter into one or more Qualified Leases (as such term is defined in the Existing Master Lease) with respect to any space covered by the Existing Master Lease in the Crystal Park Project, upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Existing Master Lease. If ORE TX becomes aware of a proposed Qualified Lease, ORE TX shall submit the proposed Qualified Lease to Purchaser, and Purchaser shall have the same review and approval rights for such proposed Qualified Lease that are given to the Landlord under the Existing Master Lease. In the event that any Acceleration Payment (as such term is defined in the Existing Master Lease) is due from ORE TX to the tenant under the Existing Master Lease with respect to any Qualified Lease that is executed between the date hereof and the Closing Date, or to the extent that ORE TX is responsible to pay a portion of the leasing commissions or tenant improvement costs with respect to a Qualified Lease that is executed between the date hereof and the Closing Date, Purchaser shall pay such amount to the tenant under the Existing Master Lease at Closing, or, if ORE TX has previously paid such amounts prior to Closing, Purchaser shall reimburse ORE TX for such payment at Closing. In the event that any Release Payment (as such term is defined in the Existing Master Lease) is received by ORE TX from the tenant under the Existing Master Lease with respect to any Qualified Lease executed between the date hereof and the Closing Date, ORE TX shall provide a credit at Closing to Purchaser for such payment. ORE TX shall furnish Purchaser, on or before the earlier of (i) three (3) business days following execution thereof, or (ii) the Closing Date, with a true and complete copy of each Qualified Lease executed by ORE TX and the tenant under such Qualified Lease from and after the date hereof through the Closing Date.
(e) Other Leases. Except as expressly provided herein, from and after the Contingency Date (provided that this Agreement has not been terminated), Partnership shall (i) refrain, and shall cause each Subsidiary to refrain, from amending any existing Lease without Purchaser’s written approval, as provided below, provided that Purchaser shall have no ability to interfere with the administration by Partnership or a Subsidiary of any existing Lease as required by, and in accordance with, the terms of such Lease, and (ii) except as expressly provided herein, refrain, and cause each Subsidiary to refrain, from entering into any new leases with respect to the Real Property (each such amendment or new lease being referred to herein as a “Proposed New Lease”), without Purchaser’s written approval, as provided below in this Section 5(e). Partnership shall furnish Purchaser with a true and complete copy of any Proposed New Lease into which any Subsidiary desires to enter and such financial information with respect to the proposed tenant as Partnership may have in its possession. Purchaser shall have three (3) business days from receipt of such Proposed New Lease to approve or disapprove the same, which approval or disapproval shall be in Purchaser’s sole discretion. In the event that Purchaser does not approve any such Proposed New Lease, Purchaser shall notify Partnership, in writing, of such disapproval prior to expiration of the aforesaid three (3) business day period. If Purchaser does not provide such
9
notice prior to the expiration of the aforesaid three (3) business day period, the Proposed New Lease shall be deemed approved. Nothing in this Section 5(e) shall restrict Partnership or any Subsidiary from amending any Lease or entering into any new leases on the Subject Property prior to the Contingency Date, provided that Partnership shall provide Purchaser with a copy of any such amendment(s) or new lease(s) at least three (3) days prior to the Contingency Date.
(f) Notice Regarding Representations and Warranties. Partnership shall, and shall cause each Subsidiary to, promptly deliver to Purchaser any notices it may hereafter receive from time to time that, if not delivered to Purchaser, would cause the representations and warranties set forth in Section 6 herein to be untrue if made after Partnership’s or such Subsidiary’s receipt of any such notices.
(g) SNDAs. Partnership agrees to submit to each of the Tenants a Subordination, Non-Disturbance and Attornment Agreement (the “SNDAs”) in the form delivered by Purchaser to Partnership (provided that such forms shall be completed by Purchaser and delivered to Partnership for each individual Tenant) and request that the Tenants return the SNDAs to Partnership along with the Estoppel Certificates (as defined in Section 9 below), but receipt of the executed SNDAs from Tenants shall not be a condition to the Closing.
(h) Loan Documents. Partnership shall cause ORE Ventures MN, (a) to comply with all of its obligations under the Loan Documents and shall provide Purchaser with copies of any notices delivered or received in connection with the Loan Documents, and (b) to cooperate in good faith and with reasonable diligence to secure the Loan Assumption Documents for Purchaser’s Assumption of the Loan; provided, however, that Partnership shall assume no liability whatsoever with respect to Purchaser’s success or failure in securing such Loan Assumption Documents. Partnership shall promptly provide all information that may reasonably be required in order to obtain the Loan Assumption Documents. Purchaser shall have the right to negotiate directly with Lender to obtain the Loan Assumption Documents after Partnership has made the initial contact with Lender and has introduced Purchaser to Lender (except that Partnership shall be involved in such negotiations to the extent such negotiations relate to the release of Partnership and ORE Ventures MN under the Loan Documents). Partnership agrees to promptly (within not more than two (2) business days following the date of this Agreement) contact, and introduce Buyer to, Lender. Partnership shall promptly pay all amounts due Lender, its third party consultants and its legal counsel in connection with the evaluation of the Assumption, the processing of the Loan Assumption Documents and the closing of the Assumption.

Each of Partnership and the Subsidiaries has the requisite power and authority to enter into and perform this Agreement and Partnership’s Closing Documents and Joint Closing Documents (as herein

This Agreement and Partnership’s Closing Documents and the Joint Closing Documents have been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of Partnership and the Subsidiaries and have been or will be duly executed and delivered by Partnership or the appropriate Subsidiary who is party to such Partnership’s Closing Documents. Partnership’s and the Subsidiaries’ execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and Partnership’s Closing Documents will not conflict with or result in a violation of Partnership’s or the Subsidiaries’ organizational documents, or any judgment, order or decree of any court or arbiter, to which Partnership or any Subsidiary is a party. This Agreement is a valid and binding obligation of Partnership and Subsidiaries and is enforceable against Partnership and Subsidiaries in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, creditors’ rights and other similar laws.
(ii) FIRPTA. Neither Partnership nor any Subsidiary is a “foreign person,” “foreign partnership,” “foreign trust” or “foreign estate” as those terms are defined in Section 1445 of the Internal Revenue Code.

13
set forth herein, if, prior to Closing, Purchaser obtains knowledge by virtue of a written document or report received on or prior to the Closing Date of a fact or circumstance, the existence of which would constitute a breach of Partnership’s or any Subsidiary’s representations set forth herein. Among other things, for purposes hereof, Purchaser shall be deemed to have knowledge of any fact or circumstance set forth in any environmental assessments, Estoppel Certificates (as defined in Section 9(b)(iv) hereof) or other written materials reviewed or received by Purchaser on or prior to the Closing Date. Partnership’s and each Subsidiary’s representations set forth herein shall be deemed automatically modified to the extent that any information contained in any environmental assessments or engineering reports or other written materials reviewed or received by Purchaser prior to the Closing Date is inconsistent with the matters which are the subject of such representations, provided that a material change in such representations after the Contingency Date shall constitute a failure of Purchaser’s Closing Condition Precedent set forth in Section 9(b)(i) below. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither Partnership nor any Subsidiary shall have any liability with respect to any breach to the extent the loss sustained by Purchaser as a result thereof does not exceed $25,000.00 in the aggregate per Project, provided, further if any such loss exceeds $25,000.00 for any Project, Partnership shall be liable for the total amount of such loss subject to the maximum liability provisions herein contained. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, with respect to any claims for breach of representations related to a Project located in the State of Texas, the representations set forth herein shall survive the Closing for a period of two (2) years; provided, however, that in order to bring a claim during such two (2) year period, Purchaser must give notice of any claim for breach of a representation or warranty on or prior to the Representation Expiration Date.
9. Closing.
(a) Closing Date. The Closing shall occur at 2:00 p.m. Central Daylight Time on the Closing Date, or on such earlier or later date as Partnership and Purchaser may mutually agree, subject to extension as provided below and delays occasioned by operation of Section 10(b) hereof. The Closing shall occur at the office of, or by mail through escrow with, the Title Company or the office of Partnership’s outside counsel, Xxxxxx and Xxxxxx, Professional Association, in Minneapolis, Minnesota or at such other time and place as the parties may mutually agree.

Partnership and Purchaser agree that Partnership shall not be in default under this Agreement if Partnership is unable to obtain an Estoppel Certificate from one or more of the Tenants and that no costs, expenses or other damages shall be due to Purchaser in such event. Partnership shall use reasonable efforts to obtain such Estoppel Certificates from each Tenant prior to the Contingency Date; provided, however, Partnership shall not be required to expend significant monies or make significant concessions or institute litigation in order to obtain such Estoppel Certificates. Purchaser shall accept an Estoppel Certificate from a Tenant substantially in the form required in such Tenant’s Lease or in another form reasonably acceptable to Purchaser in lieu of an Estoppel Certificate substantially in the form attached as Exhibit I attached hereto.

(c) Partnership’s Conditions Precedent. Partnership’s and Subsidiaries’ obligation to consummate the transaction contemplated by this Agreement shall be subject to satisfaction or waiver of each of the following conditions (“Partnership’s Closing Conditions Precedent”);
15
provided, however, that Partnership and Subsidiaries shall have the unilateral right to waive any Partnership’s Closing Condition Precedent, in whole or in part, by written notice to Purchaser:
(i) The representations of Purchaser set forth in Section 7 hereof shall be, in all material respects, true and complete.

(iv) Lender shall have executed and delivered on or before the Closing Date the Loan Assumption Documents.
(d) Failure of Condition Precedent. In the event that Purchaser’s Closing Conditions Precedent or Partnership’s Closing Conditions Precedent, as the case may be, have not been satisfied or waived as of the scheduled Closing Date as the same may be extended as permitted above, and provided the failure to satisfy or waive any such condition is not attributable to a breach or default of this Agreement by Partnership or Purchaser, as the case may be (in which event the provisions of Section 12 shall apply), this Agreement shall terminate (other than the Surviving Indemnity Obligations, which obligations shall survive any such termination) with respect to the entire Portfolio (except as specifically provided in Section 20 hereof), and the Xxxxxxx Money, together with all interest earned thereon, shall be returned to Purchaser, provided, however, upon such termination Purchaser shall, at the request of Partnership, execute any documents reasonably requested by Partnership to evidence such termination, including, without limitation, quit claim deeds.

At Closing and as a condition precedent thereto, Partnership shall cause the Title Company to deliver or irrevocably commit to deliver to Purchaser its owners’ title insurance policies (the “Owners’ Policies”) for each of the separate Projects required by this Agreement, in the form of an ALTA Form Owners’ Policy (1970 Form, without any creditor’s rights exceptions), to the extent such form is available in the relevant states, or in the case of the Crystal Park Project, a Texas standard form of Owner’s Policy of Title Insurance. If the Owners’ Policies which the Title Company is prepared to issue show any Unpermitted Encumbrances, Partnership shall have the option to extend the Closing Date in order to endeavor to remove such Unpermitted Encumbrances, provided that all of the following conditions are satisfied: (i) Partnership shall provide Purchaser with written notice of its election to extend the Closing Date by no later than five (5) days prior to the scheduled Closing Date, (ii) Partnership covenants and agrees, that within fifteen (15) days after the scheduled Closing Date (such fifteen (15)-day period being sometimes hereinafter referred to as the “Title Cure Period”), to use reasonable efforts to remove such Unpermitted Encumbrances or to cause the Title Company to issue its endorsement over any such Unpermitted Encumbrances (if such endorsement is available), which endorsement shall be in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Purchaser, and (iii) the new Closing Date shall be five (5) days after the date Partnership has provided Purchaser with written notice that the Unpermitted Encumbrances have been removed or that the Title Company will issue its endorsement over any such Unpermitted Encumbrances, which endorsements shall be in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Purchaser; provided, however, that the new Closing Date shall not be more than twenty (20) days after the scheduled Closing Date.

(iii) Tenant Files. The current tenant files, including notices, financial information, and other information to the extent such items are in the possession of Partnership and subject to any confidentiality restrictions imposed upon Partnership by the applicable tenant.
11. Adjustment and Prorations. For purposes of calculating prorations, Purchaser shall be deemed to be in title to the Subject Property, and therefore entitled to the income therefrom and responsible for the expenses thereof, for the entire day upon which the Closing occurs. All such prorations shall be made on the basis of the actual number of days of the year and month that shall have elapsed as of the Closing Date. In the event prorations cannot be calculated on the Closing Date, the amount of such prorations shall be adjusted in cash after Closing, as and when complete and accurate information becomes available. Partnership and Purchaser agree to cooperate and use their good faith and diligent efforts to make such adjustments within a reasonable time after the calendar year end following Closing. Except for the proration of real estate taxes and operating expenses (which shall be prorated on a cash basis as provided in subsections 11(a) and 11(g) below) and except as specifically provided otherwise herein, items of income and expense for the period prior to the Closing Date will be for the account of Partnership and the relevant Subsidiaries and items of income and expense for the period on and after the Closing Date will be for the account of Purchaser, all as determined by the accrual method of accounting. Bills received after Closing that relate to expenses incurred, services performed or other amounts allocable to the period prior to the Closing Date shall be paid by Purchaser if such bills are for Operating Expense Pass-Throughs (as hereinafter defined). The obligations of the parties pursuant to this Section 11 shall survive the Closing and shall not merge into any documents of conveyance delivered at Closing.
(a) Real Estate Taxes and Special Assessments. Real estate taxes and installments of assessments imposed by governmental authority (and any assessments imposed by private covenant) due and payable in the calendar year of Closing shall be prorated as of the Closing Date on a cash basis based upon the most recent tax bills or assessment. To determine the tax proration, the total amount of real estate taxes and installments of special assessments for the Subject Property that were or will become due and payable during the year of closing will be divided by 365, with the quotient referred to herein as the “Daily Tax Amount.” Partnership or the relevant Subsidiary shall be responsible for the amount calculated by multiplying the Daily
21
Tax Amount by the number of days in the calendar year up to (but not including) the Closing Date (“Partnership’s Tax Portion”). Purchaser shall be responsible for the amount calculated by multiplying the Daily Tax Amount by the number of days in the calendar year from and after the Closing Date. In the event Partnership or the relevant Subsidiary has paid real estate taxes and assessments during the year of closing in excess of the Partnership’s Tax Portion, Purchaser shall provide a credit to Partnership at Closing in the amount of such excess. In the event Partnership or the relevant Subsidiary has paid real estate taxes and assessments during the year of Closing in an amount less than the Partnership’s Tax Portion, then Partnership or the relevant Subsidiary shall provide a credit to Purchaser at Closing for the amount of such shortfall. Partnership or the relevant Subsidiary shall receive a credit for any taxes and assessments paid by Partnership or the relevant Subsidiary and applicable to any period after the Closing. Purchaser shall be responsible for any real estate taxes due and payable after the Closing Date. Purchaser shall receive a credit for any taxes or assessments due and payable and unpaid with respect to the period prior to the Closing (unless such amounts due are paid through the Closing). In the event Partnership or the Subsidiaries have collected from any Tenants as Operating Expense Pass-Throughs (as defined below) any amounts specifically allocable and held by Partnership and/or the relevant Subsidiary under the Leases to be paid for real estate taxes and assessments due and payable in the calendar year 2008 or thereafter (herein “Precollected Taxes”), Partnership shall provide such Pre-Collected Taxes to Purchaser pursuant to the Operating Expense Pass-Through proration as set forth in subsection (g) below. If, for the fiscal tax year in which the Closing is held, or any prior year, there are any tax protests filed, or abatement application proceedings pending at any time prior to the Closing with reference to the Property, Partnership or the relevant Subsidiary shall have the right to settle such protests or proceedings as long as such settlement does not include any agreement as to the valuation of the Property for real estate tax purposes for the period after the Closing. All amounts recovered as a result thereof, whether by settlement or otherwise, shall, net of attorneys’ fees and other expenses, be apportioned as of the Closing for the fiscal tax year in which the Closing is held, and paid, when received, to the parties entitled thereto; provided, however, that to the extent any such amounts are payable to Tenants pursuant to the terms of the Leases, such amounts shall be promptly paid over to such Tenants. The parties agree to execute any papers or take such steps, either before or after any Closing, as may be necessary to carry out the intention of the foregoing. Notwithstanding the foregoing (i) to the extent that Tenant(s) under any Leases for the Project(s) are required under the relevant Lease(s) to pay real estate taxes directly to the taxing authorities, then there shall be no tax proration with respect to such Project(s), and (ii) with respect to the Crystal Park Project, real estate taxes and assessments imposed by any governmental authority accrued for the calendar year 2007 (in other words, 2007 taxes due and payable in January 2008) shall be prorated as of the Closing Date based upon the most recent tax bills or assessment and based upon the number of days that Purchaser will own the Crystal Park Project in 2007.
(b) Title Insurance. Partnership shall pay all title examination fees of Title Company.

Partnership shall pay the cost of date-down endorsements for the loan title insurance policies with respect to the Existing Debt assumed by Purchaser or its affiliates and Purchaser shall pay all costs of new loan policies in connection with any new financing for the Projects obtained by Purchaser.
22
(c) Survey Costs. Partnership and/or the Subsidiaries shall pay all costs of the Surveys.
(d) Closing Fee. Partnership and Purchaser shall each pay one-half of the closing fee or escrow fee Title Company charges.

(f) Collected Rents. All collected net rent (excluding Operating Expense Pass-Throughs) and other collected income under the Leases shall be prorated as of the Closing. Partnership shall be charged with any rent and other income collected by Partnership before Closing but applicable to any period of time after Closing. Uncollected rent and other income shall not be prorated. Purchaser shall apply rent and other income from Tenants that are collected by Purchaser after the Closing unless the Tenants properly identify the payment as being for a specific item, in the following order: (i) first, to Purchaser in payment of the current rent due under such Lease, (ii) second, to Purchaser in payment of delinquent rent due under such Lease for the period from and after the Closing, and (iii) third, to Partnership in payment of rent coming due and payable prior to the Closing. Any prepaid rents for the period following the Closing Date shall be paid over by Partnership to Purchaser. Purchaser will make reasonable efforts, without suit, to collect any rents relating to the period before Closing by continuing to xxxx the Tenants for such unpaid rents. After six (6) months from the Closing Date, to the extent that Purchaser has not paid to Partnership unpaid rents owing to Partnership for periods prior to the Closing Date, Partnership or the relevant Subsidiary shall have the right to xxx delinquent Tenants for delinquent rent so long as Partnership does not cause a termination of any Lease. Partnership acknowledges and agrees that in the event Partnership receives any rents and/or other charges payable by Tenants to the landlord under the Leases applicable to the period after the Closing Date, Partnership will promptly remit all such amounts to Purchaser.
(g) Operating Expense Pass-Throughs. With respect to each Project, the Subsidiary who owns such Project, as landlord under the Leases for such Project, is currently collecting from Tenants under such Leases additional rent and expense stops (if any) to cover taxes, insurance, utilities, common area maintenance and other operating costs and expenses (collectively, “Operating Expense Pass-Throughs”) in connection with the ownership, operation, maintenance and management of the Subject Property. Partnership and Purchaser shall each receive a debit or credit, as the case may be, for the difference between the aggregate Tenants’ collected account balances for Operating Expense Pass-Throughs and the amount of Operating Expense Pass-Throughs due to or from Tenants as of the Closing Date. If Partnership or the relevant Subsidiary was overpaid by any Tenant for the period with respect to any such charges prior to Closing, Partnership shall remit to Purchaser such estimated overpayment at Closing. If Partnership or the relevant Subsidiary was underpaid by any Tenant for the period with respect to any such charges prior to Closing, Purchaser shall remit such amounts to Partnership promptly following Purchaser’s receipt of any such amounts after the Closing. Purchaser agrees to use reasonable efforts to complete the calendar year 2007 tenant reconciliations for each Project and submit such reconciliations to Tenants within ninety (90) days after the 2007 calendar year end, including xxxxxxxx for any estimated underpayments by Tenants for the Subsidiaries’ period of ownership, as provided above. In the event that any Tenant has not remitted such underpayment (and Purchaser has not forwarded such payment to Partnership) within thirty (30) days after
23
Purchaser submits the calendar year 2007 reconciliation to such Tenant, then Partnership and/or the relevant Subsidiary shall have the right to xxx the delinquent Tenant for such underpayment, so long as Partnership does not cause a termination of any Lease or disturb any Tenant’s right to occupy its respective premises. Any item in this Section 11(g) that is paid directly by any Tenant pursuant to its Lease shall not be prorated between the parties, and Purchaser shall look to the Tenant to pay such items. Partnership and Purchaser agree to cooperate and use their good faith and diligent efforts to do a true-up and make any necessary adjustments to the proration of the Operating Expense Pass-Throughs within a reasonable time after the calendar year end following Closing.
(h) Security Deposits. Purchaser shall receive a credit against the Purchase Price in an amount equal to the sum of all unapplied cash security deposits in Partnership’s possession owed to Tenants, plus, if accrued interest on such security deposits must be reimbursed to any Tenant that paid a security deposit, all interest accrued on such security deposits. Partnership shall pay the transfer fee for the transfer of the letter of credit referenced in Section 10(a)(xi) above. If any security deposits shall be held by Partnership or the relevant Subsidiary in the form of transferable letters of credit or surety bonds, Partnership or the relevant Subsidiary shall assign its rights thereunder to Purchaser and shall, at Closing, deliver such letters of credit to Purchaser, and execute any transfer documents necessary to transfer the beneficiary’s interest in such letters of credit or bonds to Purchaser.
(i) Recording Costs. Purchaser shall pay the cost of recording the Deeds and all other recording costs.
(j) Existing Loan Interest. ORE Ventures MN shall pay Lender all interest that has accrued and remains unpaid with respect to the Existing Debt accrued prior to (but not including) the Closing Date and, to the extent not paid, Purchaser shall receive at Closing a credit towards the Purchase Price for such unpaid interest for the period prior to the Closing Date, provided that Purchaser shall assume the obligation to pay all such interest to Lender when due. Purchaser shall pay Lender all such interest due and accruing from and after the Closing Date.
(k) Assumption Fees. ORE Ventures MN shall pay the 1% assumption fee due to Lender and the $10,000 processing fee required by the Loan Documents in connection with the assumption by Purchaser of the Existing Debt. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event Purchaser and Lender restructure, reallocate or increase the Existing Debt or otherwise modify the Loan Documents (except for modifications necessary to effectuate the assumption of the Existing Debt as provided in this Agreement), Purchaser shall pay all costs and fees relating to or arising from such restructure, reallocating or increase.
(l) Leasing Commissions for Renewals, Expansions and Options. Purchaser shall be responsible to pay any leasing commissions due or to become due with respect to the renewal, expansion or exercise of options for the Lease with Inmark, Inc. and the Lease with the United States of America (GSA), in the Xxxxxxx Project, as set forth on Exhibit C.
(m) Attorneys’ Fees. Each party shall be responsible for its own attorneys’ fees in connection with the sale and purchase of the Projects and the assumption of the Existing Debt.
(n) Other Costs. All other costs shall be allocated in accordance with the customs prevailing in similar transactions in the respective metropolitan areas where the Projects are located.

Except as otherwise expressly provided otherwise in this Agreement, all prorations provided for herein shall be final.
12. Default/Remedies. IN THE EVENT OF A BREACH OR DEFAULT BY PARTNERSHIP IN CLOSING THE TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT, PURCHASER, AS ITS SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY, SHALL HAVE THE RIGHT EITHER (I) TO TERMINATE THIS AGREEMENT, RECEIVE A RETURN OF THE XXXXXXX MONEY, AND OBTAIN REIMBURSEMENT FROM PARTNERSHIP OF PURCHASER’S ACTUAL OUT-OF-POCKET EXPENSES DOCUMENTED IN REASONABLE DETAIL NOT TO EXCEED SEVENTY FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS ($75,000), OR (II) TO ENFORCE SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE OF THIS AGREEMENT, PROVIDED THAT ANY ACTION FOR SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE BE COMMENCED WITHIN NINETY (90) DAYS OF THE SCHEDULED CLOSING DATE (OR SUCH LONGER PERIOD AS MAY BE REQUIRED BY LAW), AS THE SAME MAY HAVE BEEN EXTENDED PURSUANT TO THE PROVISIONS HEREOF. EXCEPT FOR THE SURVIVING INDEMNITY OBLIGATIONS, WHICH SHALL SURVIVE TERMINATION OF THE AGREEMENT, IN THE EVENT OF A BREACH OR DEFAULT BY PURCHASER IN CLOSING THE TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT, PARTNERSHIP, AS ITS SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY, SHALL HAVE THE RIGHT TO TERMINATE THIS AGREEMENT AND RECEIVE THE XXXXXXX MONEY AS LIQUIDATED DAMAGES, IT BEING AGREED BY PARTNERSHIP AND PURCHASER THAT THE DAMAGES TO PARTNERSHIP IN CASE OF DEFAULT BY PURCHASER MAY BE IMPOSSIBLE TO ASCERTAIN AND THAT THE XXXXXXX MONEY CONSTITUTES A FAIR AND REASONABLE AMOUNT OF DAMAGES IN THE CIRCUMSTANCES AND IS NOT A PENALTY. NOTHING HEREIN CONTAINED SHALL LIMIT THE RIGHTS OR OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES WITH RESPECT TO A DEFAULT UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OCCURRING AFTER THE CLOSING DATE, AND IN SUCH CASE THE PARTIES SHALL HAVE ALL RIGHTS AND REMEDIES AVAILABLE AT LAW, IN EQUITY OR OTHERWISE INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE RIGHT TO SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE, SUBJECT TO THE CONDITIONS AND LIMITATIONS HEREIN SET FORTH, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION 8 HEREOF. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING HEREIN TO THE CONTRARY, NEITHER PARTY SHALL BE ENTITLED TO RECEIVE SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR OTHER DOCUMENTS DELIVERED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH.
13. Damage. If, prior to the Closing Date, all or any part of the Improvements are substantially damaged by fire or other casualty, Partnership shall promptly give notice to Purchaser of such fact. Thereafter, at Purchaser’s option (to be exercised by Purchaser’s written notice to Partnership given within fifteen (15) days after Partnership’s initial notice to Purchaser), this Agreement shall terminate solely with respect to the Project relating to the damaged Improvements (the “Damaged Project”), subject to the limitations in Section 20 hereof. In the event of any such termination of this Agreement solely with respect to a Damaged Project, neither party will have any further obligations under this Agreement with respect to such Damaged Project (other than the Surviving Indemnity Obligations, which obligations shall survive any such termination), Purchaser shall, at the request of Partnership, execute any document reasonably requested by Partnership to evidence such termination including, without limitation, a quit claim deed, and the Purchase Price shall be adjusted as provided in Section 20 hereof. If Purchaser fails to elect to terminate this Agreement with respect to such Damaged Project (in the manner provided in this Section 13) despite such damage, or if the Improvements are damaged but not substantially, subject to any contrary requirements or conditions in any existing financing secured by such Damaged Project, Partnership shall promptly commence to repair such damage or destruction and to return the Improvements to substantially their condition prior to such damage. If such damage shall be completely repaired prior to the Closing Date, then there shall be no reduction in the Purchase Price, and
25
Partnership shall retain the proceeds of all insurance related to such damage. If such damage shall not be completely repaired prior to the Closing Date, but Partnership is diligently proceeding to repair, then there shall be no reduction in the Purchase Price and Partnership shall complete the repair after the Closing Date and shall be entitled to receive the proceeds of all insurance related to such damage; provided, however, that Purchaser shall have the right to delay the Closing Date until repair is completed. For purposes of this Section 13, the phrase “substantially damaged” means (i) the cost to repair the Damaged Project is estimated to exceed $1,000,000, (ii) access to or parking on the Damaged Project is adversely affected, (iii) as a result of the damage, the Damaged Project is in violation of laws or fails to comply with zoning or any covenants, conditions or restrictions affecting the Subject Property, or (iv) the damage entitles any of the Tenants which lease at least fifty percent (50%) of the rentable square feet of the Damaged Project to terminate its Lease.
14. Condemnation. If, prior to the Closing Date, eminent domain proceedings are commenced against all or any substantial part of a Project, Partnership shall immediately give notice to Purchaser of such fact and, at Purchaser’s option (to be exercised within fifteen (15) days after Partnership’s notice), this Agreement shall terminate solely with respect to the Project relating to the condemnation (the “Condemned Project”), subject to the limitations in Section 20 hereof. In the event of any such termination, neither party will have further obligations under this Agreement with respect to such Condemned Project (other than the Surviving Indemnity Obligations, which obligations shall survive any such termination), Purchaser shall, at the request of Partnership, execute any document reasonably requested by Partnership to evidence such termination including, without limitation, a quit claim deed, and the Purchase Price shall be adjusted as provided in Section 20 hereof. If Purchaser fails to elect to terminate this Agreement with respect to such Condemned Project in the manner provided in this Section 14, then there shall be no reduction in the Purchase Price, and Partnership shall assign to Purchaser at the Closing Date all of Partnership’s right, title and interest in and to any award made or to be made in the condemnation proceedings. Prior to the Closing Date, Partnership shall not designate counsel, appear in, or otherwise act with respect to the condemnation proceedings without Purchaser’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided, however, that if any action is necessary with respect to such proceeding to avoid any forfeiture or material prejudice, Partnership shall be entitled to take such action as and to the extent necessary without obtaining Purchaser’s prior written consent. For purposes of this Section, the words “substantial part” means (i) the amount of any condemnation award is estimated to exceed $1,000,000, (ii) access to or parking on the Condemned Project is adversely affected, (iii) as a result of the condemnation, the Condemned Project is in violation of laws or fails to comply with zoning or any covenants, conditions or restrictions affecting the Condemned Project, or (iv) the condemnation entitles any of the Tenants which lease at least fifty percent (50%) of the rentable square feet of the Condemned Project to terminate its Lease.
15. Broker’s Commissions. Partnership and Purchaser each represent to the other party that in connection with the transaction contemplated hereby, no third party broker or finder has been engaged or consulted by Partnership, any Subsidiary or Purchaser or is entitled to compensation or commissions in connection herewith other than CB Xxxxxxx Xxxxx (the “Broker”). Partnership shall pay to the Broker all commissions due to the Broker, pursuant to the Commissions Agreement dated as of February 16, 2007 (the “Listing Agreement”), at Closing, if the transaction contemplated by the Agreement is consummated. Partnership shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless Purchaser from and against any and all claims of brokers, finders or any like third party claiming any right to commissions or compensation by or through acts of Partnership in connection herewith. Purchaser represents to Partnership that in connection with the transaction contemplated hereby, no third party broker or finder has been engaged or consulted by Purchaser or is entitled to compensation or commissions in connection herewith other than the commissions due to the Broker under the Listing Agreement. Purchaser shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless Partnership from and against any and all claims of brokers, finders or any like party claiming any right to commissions or compensation by or through acts of Purchaser in connection herewith. The
26
indemnity obligations hereunder, in favor of both Partnership and Purchaser, shall include, without limitation, all damages, losses, risks, liabilities and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs) arising from and related to matters being indemnified hereunder; provided, however, that the total liability of Partnership with respect to the foregoing shall be subject to the conditions and limitations set forth in Section 8 hereof.

Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that the Reports are provided by Partnership and the Subsidiaries for informational purposes only and that Partnership and the Subsidiaries make no representations or warranties as to the accuracy or completeness of the Reports. Purchaser will conduct its own investigations and studies of the Subject Property as it deems necessary or appropriate in order to determine the presence or absence of hazardous materials on or within the Subject Property. Subject to Section 6(a)(iii), Purchaser hereby (a) agrees that Purchaser is relying solely on its own investigation, if any, of the Subject Property covering the effect of any hazardous materials that may be on or within the Subject Property, whether disclosed by such investigations or not (collectively, the “Hazardous Materials Effect”), (b) acquires the Subject Property subject to the risk of any and all liabilities, claims, demands, suits, judgments, losses, damages, expenses (including, without limitation, attorney’s fees) and other obligations arising out of or incurred in connection with the Hazardous Materials Effect, if any, and (c) waives and releases Partnership and the Subsidiaries from any claims, liabilities, demands, suits, judgments, losses, damages and expenses relating to the Hazardous Materials Effect.

For purposes hereof, “control” shall mean ownership (directly or indirectly) of 51% or more of the voting or comparable ownership interest of any such trust, corporation, partnership or limited liability company. Any assignment shall be subject to all the provisions, terms, covenants and conditions of this Agreement and the assignor shall, in any event, continue to be and remain liable under this Agreement, as it may be amended from time to time, as a principal and not as a surety, without notice to such assignor. Any such assignment and assumption shall be evidenced by a written agreement in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Partnership. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Purchaser shall have the right to assign this Agreement to an entity that is a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) (or that is wholly owned directly or indirectly by a REIT) for which Purchaser or an affiliate of Purchaser acts as an investment advisor.

19. Catastrophic Environmental Event. If, after the Contingency Date and prior to the Closing Date, any Catastrophic Environmental Event (as defined below) occurs with respect to a Project, Partnership shall give notice to Purchaser of such fact promptly after Partnership becomes aware of such occurrence. Thereafter, at Purchaser’s option (to be exercised by Purchaser’s written notice to Partnership prior to the Closing Date), this Agreement shall terminate solely with respect to the Project affected by such Catastrophic Environmental Event (the “Affected Project”), subject to the limitations in Section 20
27
hereof. In the event of any such termination of this Agreement solely with respect to the Affected Project, neither party will have any further obligations under this Agreement with respect to such Affected Project (other than the Surviving Indemnity Obligations, which obligations shall survive any such termination), Purchaser shall, at the request of Partnership, execute any document reasonably requested by Partnership to evidence such termination including, without limitation, a quit claim deed, and the Purchase Price shall be adjusted as provided in Section 20 hereof. If Purchaser fails to elect to terminate this Agreement with respect to the Affected Project in the manner provided in this Section 19, then there shall be no reduction in the Purchase Price, and the parties shall proceed to Closing upon the terms and conditions of this Agreement. For purposes of this Section 19, the phrase “Catastrophic Environmental Event” means an adverse environmental event on a Project resulting in a violation of applicable environmental laws requiring cleanup. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an adverse environmental event shall not be a Catastrophic Environmental Event if a “no further action” letter addressed to Partnership or the relevant Subsidiary or a “no association” letter addressed to Purchaser, or their equivalents, has been received from the relevant governmental authorities prior to Closing.
20. Portfolio Purchase. It is the intent of the Partnership and Purchaser that the Subject Property, including all of the Projects, is to be sold by Partnership and the Subsidiaries and purchased by Purchaser as the entire Portfolio, upon the terms and conditions herein. Except as specifically provided herein, any termination of this Agreement pursuant to the terms and conditions hereof shall be a termination with respect to the entire Portfolio. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent the Purchaser has the right to terminate this Agreement with respect to a given Project as a result of substantial damage or casualty as defined and provided in Section 13 hereof occurring prior to the Closing Date, a condemnation of a substantial part of such Project as defined and provided in Section 14 occurring prior to the Closing Date, or a Catastrophic Environmental Event with respect to such Project as defined and provided in Section 19 occurring after the Contingency Date and prior to the Closing Date, Purchaser may notify Partnership in writing that it desires to terminate this Agreement solely with respect to the affected Project(s). Upon receipt of such written notice from Purchaser, Partnership shall agree to terminate this Agreement only with respect to the affected Project(s). In the event this Purchase Agreement is terminated with respect to only one or more Projects pursuant to Section 13, Section 14, or Section 19, the Purchase Price shall be reduced by the amount of the Purchase Price allocation for such Project as shown on Schedule 1 attached hereto.

The obligations in this Section 34 shall survive Closing or termination of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained in this Agreement shall impair Purchaser’s (or its permitted assignee’s) right to disclose information relating to this Agreement or the Subject Property (a) to any due diligence representatives and/or consultants that are engaged by, work for or are acting on behalf of, any securities dealers and/or broker dealers evaluating Purchaser or its permitted assignees, (b) in connection with any filings (including any amendment or supplement to any S-11 filing) with governmental agencies (including the SEC) by any REIT holding an interest (direct or indirect) in any permitted assignee of Purchaser, and (c) to any broker/dealers in the REIT’s broker/dealer network and any of the REIT’s investors.
