instructions provided by Seller prior to the Closing. In exchange for such
payment, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser a deed (in form required by the

2
and/or omissions ("Deed"). The Deed shall be substantially in the form attached
as Exhibit "B" and shall convey title to Purchaser, subject to the lien for
taxes which are not yet due and payable and such other exceptions to title which
are disclosed in the Title Commitment (defined below) and to which Purchaser
consents in writing or waives its objection thereto pursuant to this Agreement.
4. DUE DILIGENCE ITEMS. Unless a longer time period is specifically
identified below, within five (5) days of the date of this Agreement, and at its
sole cost and expense, Seller shall furnish or cause Broker to furnish to
Purchaser the following items (collectively, "Due Diligence Items"):
(a) Title Work. A copy of the owner's policy of title insurance
issued to Seller at the time it acquired the Project. Within twenty (20) days of
the date of this Agreement, and provided Purchaser has delivered evidence to

("Title Commitment"), which shall: (i) be issued by Title Company in favor of
Purchaser without so called "Standard Exceptions", (ii) be dated after the date
of this Agreement, (iii) provide for coverage in an amount equal to the Purchase
Price, (iv) show the state and quality of title to the Property, together with
all liens, encumbrances and other charges and items affecting the Property; and
(v) be accompanied by legible copies of all documents referenced in the Title
Commitment. Any endorsements to the Title Commitment shall be obtained by

(b) Survey. A copy of the existing ALTA as-built survey of the Land,

environmental assessment and/or Property Condition Report of the Project, if
any, in Seller's possession; and
(f) Lease Documents. A complete copy of the Lease, along with the

Purchaser shall promptly deliver to Seller written acknowledgement
of Purchaser's receipt of each Due Diligence Item. Within three (3) days after
the date of this Agreement, Purchaser shall notify Seller in writing in the
event that Purchaser has not yet received any Due Diligence Item (which notice
shall specify any Due Diligence Item not yet received); otherwise, Purchaser
shall be deemed to have received all of the Due Diligence Items.
Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that, except for such items which
are in the public records, the Due Diligence Items are proprietary and
confidential in nature and have been and/or will be made available to Purchaser
solely to assist Purchaser in determining the feasibility of purchasing the
Property. Purchaser agrees not to disclose the Due Diligence Items, or any of
the provisions, terms or conditions thereof to any party outside of Purchaser's
organization except: (i) to Purchaser's accountants, attorneys, lenders,
prospective lenders, environmental consultants, investors and/or prospective
investors (collectively, "Permitted Outside Parties") in connection with the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or (ii) as may be required by law.
Purchaser shall take such actions as are necessary so as to ensure that the
Permitted Outside Parties also protect the confidential nature of the Due
Diligence Items to
3
the same extent as Purchaser is obligated to do so hereunder. In permitting
Purchaser and the Permitted Outside Parties to review the Due Diligence Items,
Seller has not waived any privilege or claim of confidentiality with respect
thereto and no third party benefits of any kind, either expressed or implied,
have been offered, intended or created by Seller and any such claims are
expressly rejected by Seller and waived by Purchaser on its own behalf and on
behalf of the Permitted Outside Parties.
Purchaser shall return to Seller all of the Due Diligence Items
(including all copies Purchaser has made of the Due Diligence Items) at such
time as this Agreement is terminated for any reason. Purchaser's obligations
under this Section 4 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
Purchaser acknowledges that most of the Due Diligence Items were
prepared by third parties and, in many instances, were prepared prior to
Seller's ownership of the Property. Purchaser further acknowledges and agrees
that, except as specifically set forth herein: (i) neither Seller nor any of its
directors, officers, partners, members, agents, employees or contractors have
made any warranty or representation regarding the truth, accuracy or
completeness of the Due Diligence Items or the sources thereof, (ii) Seller has
not undertaken any independent investigation as to the truth, accuracy and
completeness of the Due Diligence Items, (iii) neither Seller nor any director,
partner, member, officer, employee or agent acting on Seller's behalf is
authorized to make any representations or warranties of whatsoever kind or
nature regarding either the truth, accuracy or completeness of the Due Diligence
Items or the Property (other than as described herein) and (iv) Seller is
providing the Due Diligence Items to Purchaser (or making the Due Diligence
Items available to Purchaser) solely as an accommodation to Purchaser. Purchaser
further acknowledges and agrees that Purchaser shall be solely responsible for
reviewing, analyzing and determining the truth, completeness, accuracy and
adequacy of the Due Diligence Items.
5. CONDITIONS TO PURCHASER'S OBLIGATIONS.
(a) Objection Notice. Purchaser shall have until the close of
Seller's business on the date the Inspection Period expires to deliver written
notice to Seller indicating whether any of the Due Diligence Items, the
condition of the Property, or title thereto is unsatisfactory to Purchaser and
specifying the matters which are not satisfactory or to which Purchaser
otherwise objects ("Objection Notice"). In the event Seller does not receive an
Objection Notice within the time period set forth in the preceding sentence,
Purchaser shall be deemed to have accepted the Due Diligence Items, the
condition of the Property, and title thereto, as disclosed in the Due Diligence
Items, at which time the Deposit shall, except as provided in the following
sentence, become non-refundable. The Deposit shall be refundable in the event of
Seller's failure to consummate the transaction described herein as a result of
Seller's default hereunder and shall also be refundable in the event that the
financing contingency set forth in Section 5(c) below is not satisfied and
Purchaser elects to terminate this Agreement as provided below.
(b) Responses to Objection Notice. In the event that either: (i)
Purchaser indicates in the Objection Notice that the Property or the Due
Diligence Items are not satisfactory in any material respect, or (ii) Purchaser
discovers and informs Seller in writing of, or Seller informs Purchaser of, any
change in the status of title to the Property occurring after the date of this
Agreement and resulting in an encumbrance on the Property in addition to the
Lease and the Permitted Exceptions (as defined below) (each a "Title Defect"),
Seller may promptly undertake to cure the items specified in the Objection
Notice or eliminate any such Title Defect to the reasonable satisfaction of
Purchaser and/or, to the extent possible, cause the Title Company to insure over
any Title Defect to the reasonable satisfaction of Purchaser and accordingly
modify the Title Commitment. In the event Seller elects not to effect such cure
or is either unable to do so or have the Title Company so insure over
Purchaser's objections within ten (10) days after receipt by Seller of the
Objection Notice or notice of any Title Defect, Purchaser may, at its option:
(1) waive any of its objections set forth in the Objection Notice or relating to
the Title
4
Defect, without any adjustment in the Purchase Price, or (2) terminate this
Agreement, in either event by giving prompt written notice thereof to Seller. In
the event Purchaser elects to terminate this Agreement, the Deposit shall be
returned to Purchaser and, except as expressly set forth in this Agreement,
neither Seller nor Purchaser shall have any further obligations under this
Agreement.
(c) Financing Contingency. If the Purchaser and Seller have
initialed that "Financing Contingency Applies" below, Purchaser's obligations
hereunder are contingent upon Purchaser's ability to obtain a loan ("Loan") to
finance its purchase obligation hereunder. Purchaser shall: (i) apply for such
Loan within seven (7) days of the date of this Agreement, and (ii) shall have
the Financing Period in which to obtain a commitment for financing
("Commitment"). In the event Purchaser is unable to obtain the Commitment prior
to the expiration of the Financing Period, Purchaser shall have the right to
terminate this Agreement by delivering written notice thereof to Seller and the
Escrow Agent prior to the expiration of the Financing Period. The failure by
Purchaser to timely deliver such notice of termination prior to the expiration
of the Financing Period shall be an election by Purchaser to waive such
financing contingency, thereby causing the Deposit to become non-refundable. In
the event of Purchaser's timely election to terminate this Agreement, the entire
portion of the Deposit then held by the Escrow Agent shall be delivered to
Purchaser, subject to Purchaser's continuing obligations to return the Due
Diligence Items and Purchaser's indemnity obligations under Section 15.
Financing Contingency Applies: Seller's Initials _______ Purchaser's Initials: _______
Financing Contingency Does Not Apply: Seller's Initials _______ Purchaser's Initials: __XX__
(d) SNDA and Estoppel Certificate. Upon expiration or waiver of the
Inspection Period set forth above, Seller will make a one time request from
Tenant for a current estoppel certificate and a subordination, non-disturbance
and attornment agreement ("SNDA"), each in the form (if any) contemplated by the
Lease. If the form of Tenant estoppel certificate and/or SNDA is not prescribed
by the Lease and Purchaser submits to Seller the form of estoppel certificate
and/or SNDA (as the case may be) preferred by Purchaser or required by
Purchaser's Lender (if any) prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period,
Seller will submit such form of estoppel certificate and SNDA to Tenant if such
form is reasonable (as determined by Seller in its sole discretion).
Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, in the event Tenant
fails to provide the estoppel certificate and/or SNDA required by the Lease or
alleges that there are outstanding material events of default under the Lease
which cannot be resolved to Purchaser's reasonable satisfaction by the Closing,
then, in such event, Purchaser's sole remedy shall be to waive the requirement
or to terminate this Agreement and receive the prompt return of its Deposit.
Seller shall be under no obligation to obtain any updates to the estoppel
certificate and/or SNDA received from Tenant.
6. PERMITTED EXCEPTIONS. Seller shall convey the Property to Purchaser
subject to any easements, liens, exceptions, and other encumbrances noted in the
Title Commitment, the Survey, and the Lease (collectively, "Permitted
Exceptions").
7. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF SELLER. Seller represents and
warrants to Purchaser as to the following matters, each of which is true and
correct as of the date of this Agreement, and each of which shall be true and
correct as of the date of Closing. As used in this Section, the phrase "to
Seller's knowledge" means Seller's actual knowledge, without duty of inquiry.

has obtained all necessary consents and approvals required by its formation
documents for the execution of this Agreement and the performance of its
obligations arising hereunder;
5
(b) Compliance. Seller has received no written notice from any
governmental agency alleging a violation of any statute, ordinance, regulation
or code with respect to the Property which violation has not been cured;

demand relating to the Property or Seller's interest in the Property;

contemplated or threatened eminent domain, condemnation or other governmental
takings or proceedings relating to the Property or any part thereof; and
(e) Foreign Entity. Seller is not a foreign person or entity under
the Foreign Investment in Real Property Tax Act of 1980, as amended, and no
taxes or withholding under the such act shall be assessed against or imposed
upon Purchaser in connection with the transaction contemplated by this
Agreement.
Seller acknowledges and agrees that the warranties and
representations set forth above shall survive the Closing for a period of six
(6) months. If, prior to Closing, Purchaser receives written notice from Seller
that any material representation or warranty of Seller is untrue and cannot be
remedied, or Purchaser becomes aware that any material representation or
warranty of Seller is untrue and can not be remedied, Purchaser shall, as
Purchaser's sole and exclusive remedy, be entitled to terminate this Agreement
by written notice delivered to Seller on or before the Closing, in which event,
the Deposit shall be refunded to Purchaser, and, except for the terms and
provisions of this Agreement which specifically survive the termination of this
Agreement, the parties shall have no further obligations hereunder. If Purchaser
is so advised and Purchaser fails to terminate this Agreement within such
period, Purchaser shall be deemed to have waived the breach of such
representation or warranty and shall have no further rights or remedies as a
result of the breach of such representation or warranty. Seller does not, by
this Agreement, represent or warrant that there will be no changes in any of the
matters referred to in Seller's representations or warranties after the date
same are made through the acts and/or omissions of persons other than Seller,
and shall have no liability or responsibility in the event that any
representation or warranty becomes false or misleading as a result of any change
in circumstances after the date such representations or warranties are made.
8. COVENANTS OF SELLER.
(a) Actions. From and after the date of this Agreement and until the
date of Closing, Seller shall: (i) use commercially reasonable efforts to keep
(or cause to be kept) the Property fully insured in accordance with prudent and
customary practice and as required by the Lease; (ii) not alienate, encumber or
transfer the Property or any part thereof in favor of or to any other person or
entity unless required by law; and (iii) not amend the Lease without the prior
written consent of Purchaser (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld,

(b) Change in Status. From and after the date of this Agreement and
until the date of Closing, Seller shall promptly give Purchaser written notice
of any change in the status of title to the Property, which either changes the
nature of any Permitted Exceptions or represents an additional encumbrance on
the Property.
9. CLOSING. Seller and Purchaser shall consummate the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement at Closing through an escrow with the Title
Company and pursuant to escrow instructions acceptable to the Title Company,
Seller and Purchaser. The attorneys for Seller and Purchaser are

and provisions hereof, and contemporaneously with the performance by Seller of
its obligations under Section 10 above, Purchaser shall:

(b) Closing Statement. Execute and deliver to Seller a closing
statement itemizing the Purchase Price and all adjustments thereto as provided

(d) Additional Documents. Execute and deliver to Seller such other
documents or instruments as may be required under this Agreement, or as

Purchaser's obligation to close shall be specifically contingent
upon the Title Company furnishing to Purchaser the Title Policy and the Tenant
executing and delivering to Purchaser an estoppel certificate in accordance with
the provisions of the Lease. Purchaser acknowledges that Seller's failure to
deliver the foregoing items shall not constitute a default by Seller hereunder,
nor expose Seller to

terminate this Agreement and receive the immediate return of the Deposit.

preparation of the Deed, (b) all premiums and fees related to the Title Policy,

transaction contemplated by this Agreement, and (d) documentary stamps and real
estate transfer tax associated with recordation of the Deed. Seller and
Purchaser shall each pay half of any escrow charges (Seller's responsibility
limited to $300) and shall further pay their own attorneys' fees. Purchaser
shall be responsible for: (a) the costs and expenses of any additional
endorsements and/or additional title insurance coverage requests by Purchaser
and (b) any other expenses, taxes and fees related to Purchaser's Loan,
including any mortgage taxes and any lender's policy of title insurance.
13. PRO-RATIONS.
(a) Taxes. Purchaser acknowledges that the Lease obligates the
Tenant to pay the taxes directly to the taxing authority. Accordingly, the
parties shall not prorate taxes between Purchaser and Seller, it being
acknowledged that Tenant shall be responsible for same. In no event shall Seller
be responsible for the payment of any real estate taxes and/or assessments
applicable during its period of ownership in the event the Tenant has defaulted
in the prompt payment of same.
(b) Rent. Rent actually paid for the month in which the Closing
occurs shall be prorated between Seller and Purchaser as of the close of

shall remit same to the party entitled thereto within ten (10) days of receipt.
To the extent any rent arrearages exist under the Lease, Seller shall have the
right, to the extent it is holding a security deposit under the Lease, to
set-off against such security deposit for such arrearages.

and Broker, be entitled to enter upon the Property for inspection, soil tests,
examination, land-use planning and for any due diligence investigation relating
to Purchaser's proposed ownership of the Property, subject to the rights of the
Tenant under the Lease. As to any such investigation, Purchaser shall restore
the Property to the same condition as existed prior to any such investigation,
and shall not: (i) perform any invasive tests without Seller's prior consent, or
(ii) interfere with the possessory rights of the Tenant. Purchaser shall
indemnify and hold harmless Seller from and against, and shall reimburse Seller
with respect to, any and all claims, demands, causes of action, loss, damage,
liabilities, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and
disbursements) asserted against or incurred by Seller by reason of or arising
out of any such on-site investigation, it being acknowledged that all such
obligations shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
16. ACKNOWLEDGEMENT. Purchaser understands and acknowledges that Seller
has not made and does not make any representation or warranties whatsoever, oral
or written, express or implied, to Purchaser with respect to the condition,
state of repair or operability of the Property (including but not limited to
environmental protection, pollution or land use laws, rules, regulations, orders
or requirements, including the existence in, on, or under the Property of any
hazardous materials or substances, soil or sub-
8
soil conditions, all improvements thereon, the structural portions thereof, and
the personal property, mechanical, plumbing, electrical, sewer, sanitary
disposal, heating, ventilating and air conditioning systems and other building
service equipment therein), with respect to the suitability or fitness for the
Purchaser's intended use or purpose or with respect to the appreciation or
income potential of the Property, the zoning of the Property, the platting of
the Property, the availability or adequacy of utilities to the Property, access
to the Property, requirements in connection with any development of the Property
or any other matter whatsoever. Purchaser further acknowledges and agrees that
Purchaser has investigated or will investigate all matters of concern to
Purchaser with respect to the Property and that Purchaser is not relying and
hereby expressly waives any reliance on any representation or warranty, oral or
written, express or implied, of Seller with respect to such matters. Purchaser
agrees to purchase the Property and all improvements thereon and mechanical
systems therein delivered to Purchaser, as is, where is, with all faults.
Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, Purchaser
releases Seller from any liability, claims, damages, expenses of any kind or
nature, or any other claim resulting from the presence, removal or other
remediation of hazardous materials or substances in, on, under or about the
Property or which has migrated from adjacent lands onto the Property or from the
Property to adjacent land. The provisions of this Section 16 shall survive the
Closing.
17. FURTHER ASSURANCES. Seller and Purchaser agree to perform such other
acts, and to execute, acknowledge, and/or deliver subsequent to the Closing such
other instruments, documents and other materials as Seller or Purchaser may
reasonably request in order to effectuate the consummation of the transactions
contemplated in this Agreement and to vest title to the Property in Purchaser.
The provisions of this Section 17 shall survive the Closing.
18. DEFAULT BY SELLER. In the event that Seller should fail to consummate
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement for any reason, excepting
Purchaser's default or the failure of any of the conditions to Seller's
obligations hereunder to be satisfied or waived, Purchaser may terminate this
Agreement by giving prompt written notice thereof to Seller, or specifically
enforce this Agreement; provided, however, that in the event that such failure
of Seller was beyond Seller's reasonable control, Purchaser's sole remedy shall
be to terminate this Agreement; provided, further, in the event Purchaser elects
to specifically enforce this Agreement, it must institute such action within ten
(10) days following Seller's default, failing which, Purchaser shall be deemed
to have waived the right to pursue specific performance.
19. DEFAULT BY PURCHASER. In the event Purchaser should fail to consummate
the transactions contemplated in this Agreement for any reason, except default
by Seller or the failure of any of the conditions to Purchaser's obligations
hereunder to be satisfied or waived, Seller may retain the Deposit and terminate

specifically enforce this Agreement.
20. ATTORNEY'S FEES. Should either Seller or Purchaser employ an attorney
or attorneys to enforce any of the provisions of this Agreement or to protect
its interest in any matter arising under this Agreement or to recover damages
for the breach of this Agreement, the losing party in any final judgment agrees
to pay the prevailing party all reasonable costs, charges, and expenses,
including reasonable attorney's fees, expended or incurred by it in connection
therewith.
21. BROKERAGE COMMISSIONS. Each party represents to the other that no
brokers other than Purchaser's and Seller's Broker have been involved in this
transaction. In the event that this transaction is consummated and Closing
occurs, Seller shall pay Purchaser's Broker a real estate commission in the
amount of two percent (2%) of the Purchase Price and shall pay Seller's Broker
in accordance with a separate agreement. Seller and Purchaser agree that if any
other claims for brokerage commissions are ever made against Seller or Purchaser
in connection with this transaction, all claims shall be handled and
9
paid by the party whose actions or alleged commitments form the basis of such
claim. Seller agrees to indemnify and hold Purchaser harmless from any loss,
liability, damage, cost, or expense (including, without limitation, reasonable
attorney's fees) paid or incurred by Purchaser by reason of any claim to any
broker's, finder's, or other fee in connection with this transaction by any
party claiming by, through, or under Seller. Except as provided in the foregoing
sentence, Purchaser agrees to indemnify and hold Seller harmless from any loss,
liability, damage, cost or expense (including, without limitation, reasonable
attorney's fees) paid or incurred by Seller by reason of any claim to any
broker's, finder's, or other fee in connection with this transaction by any
party claiming by, through, or under Purchaser, which obligation of each party
shall survive the Closing.
22. RISK OF LOSS. All risk of loss or damage to the Property prior to
Closing, including, without limitation, loss by reason of eminent domain or
condemnation proceedings or by reason of fire, windstorm, or other casualty,
shall rest with Seller. If, prior to the Closing, the Property is subject to
eminent domain or condemnation proceedings or is damaged as a result of fire or
other casualty, Seller shall give Purchaser written notice thereof and Purchaser
shall have the option, exercisable by written notice to Seller within ten (10)
days after the date of Seller's notice, to either:
(a) Accept Title. Accept title to the Property without any reduction
of the Purchase Price, in which event, at the Closing and subject to the rights
of Tenant, Seller shall assign to Purchaser any eminent domain or condemnation
award or insurance proceeds payable to Seller or its successors or assigns by
reason of such eminent domain or condemnation proceeding or damage or casualty,
and pay over to Purchaser any monies theretofore received by Seller in
connection with such eminent domain or condemnation proceeding or fire or other
casualty; or
(b) Terminate. Terminate this Agreement, in which event neither
Seller nor Purchaser shall have any further obligations under this Agreement and
the Purchaser shall receive the prompt return of the Deposit.
In the event Purchaser shall fail to exercise either such option
within such ten (10) day period, Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected the
option set forth in Section 22(a).

NON-FOREIGN PERSONS AFFIDAVIT
Section 1445 of the Internal Revenue Code provides that a transferee

the disposition of a United States real property interest by CAPTEC FRANCHISE
CAPITAL PARTNERS X.X. XX, a Delaware limited partnership ("Transferor"), the
undersigned certifies the following on behalf of Transferor:
1. Transferor is not a foreign corporation, foreign partnership, foreign
trust, or foreign estate (as those terms are defined in the Internal Revenue
Code and Income Tax Regulations);
2. Transferor's United States Employer Identification Number is
00-0000000;
3. Transferor's office address is 24 Xxxxx Xxxxx Xxxxxx Drive, Lobby X,

Transferor understands that this certification may be disclosed to the
Internal Revenue Service by Transferee and that any false statement contained
herein could be punished by fine, imprisonment, or both.
Under penalties of perjury, I declare that I have examined this
certification and to the best of my knowledge and belief it is true, correct,
and complete, and I further declare that I have authority to sign this document
on behalf of Transferor.
