indemnify, hold harmless or defend Seller with respect to any damages arising
out of Seller's own negligence or willful misconduct. This Section 5 shall
survive
2
the Closing or the termination of this Agreement. Buyer agrees to return the
Property to substantially the same condition as it existed prior to such
investigation and inspection, to the extent reasonably possible. Buyer shall not
perform any invasive tests and inspections of the Property without Seller's
prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed
or conditioned. In performing Buyer's on-site inspections of the Property, Buyer

Buyer objected, or Seller fails to remove all such exceptions that Seller agreed
to remove at or before the Closing, or, notwithstanding any such undertakings by
Seller, title to the Property cannot be conveyed to Buyer at the Closing in
accordance with the requirements of this Agreement, then Buyer shall have the
option of: (i) taking such title as Seller can convey and waiving the
unfulfilled condition, without abatement of the Purchase Price (unless such
defects are liens, judgments, security interests or other monetary encumbrances
of ascertainable amounts, in which event the amounts thereof shall be deducted
from the Purchase Price); or (ii) terminate this Agreement by written notice to

real estate broker in this transaction for Buyer and shall provide real
estate brokerage, program management, due diligence coordination, and

this Agreement (the "Real Estate Services"), and (ii) Buyer has retained
one or more third parties to assist Buyer with ----------------------
various program administration services, including financing, credit
analysis and structuring services (the "Financing ---------- Services").
Seller shall not be responsible for any fees for such Real Estate Services
or Financing Services. Buyer and -------- Seller each represent and
warrant that it has dealt with no broker, agent or other person in
connection with this sale, purchase and lease of the Property other than

the other from and against any claims by any broker, agent or other person
claiming a commission or other form of compensation by virtue of having
dealt with the indemnifying party with respect to the sale, purchase and
lease of the Property contemplated by this Agreement. The provisions of
this Section 12.C shall survive Closing.
13. Maintenance of Property. For the period from the Effective Date through
the Closing Date, Seller shall: (i) not sell or otherwise dispose of the
Property or any part thereof except to Buyer, (ii) maintain the Property in as
favorable a condition as the same is in on the Effective Date, normal wear and
tear excepted, (iii) cause to be maintained in force, fire and extended coverage
insurance covering the Property for the full replacement value thereof, (iv)
neither transfer nor remove any Fixtures from the Property, except for purposes
of replacement thereof, in which case such replacements shall be promptly
installed prior to Closing and the quality of such items shall be equal to or
exceed the original quality of the items being replaced, or (v) enter into any
leases as to any portion of the Property or any other contract affecting the
Property without Buyer's consent in each case. The provisions of this Section 13
shall survive Closing.
14. Condemnation. If, prior to the Closing, condemnation or eminent domain
proceedings are proposed, threatened or commenced against any portion of the
Property, Seller shall immediately notify Buyer of such event. In the event of
any such proceedings, either Buyer or Seller may terminate this Agreement by
written notice to the other party within five (5) days after receipt of such
notice, in which event this Agreement shall be terminated and except as
otherwise provided herein (including without limitation Section 8 above),
neither Buyer nor Seller shall have any further right, duty or obligation under
this Agreement. In the event Buyer and Seller elect to close the purchase and
sale contemplated under this Agreement, Buyer shall be entitled to receive any

shall execute such assignment and other applicable documents as Buyer or the
applicable governmental authority may reasonably require to effect the

Casualty"), Seller shall immediately notify Buyer of such event and specify the
amount and terms of the insurance proceeds available. In the event of a
Substantial Casualty, either Buyer or Seller may elect to terminate this
Agreement by written notice to the other party within ten (10) days after Buyer
receives notice of the Substantial Casualty from Seller; provided, however, in
the event that only Seller (and not Buyer) elects to terminate this Agreement
due to a Substantial Casualty, Seller shall be liable to Buyer
12
and shall pay Buyer for the Inspection Costs. If either Buyer or Seller elects
to terminate this Agreement due to a Substantial Casualty, except as otherwise
provided herein, neither Buyer nor Seller shall have any further right, duty or
obligation under this Agreement. If Buyer and Seller elect to close the purchase
and sale contemplated herein, Buyer shall be entitled to receive at Closing a
credit against the Purchase Price in an amount equal to any insurance proceeds
which have been paid to Seller (together with the amount of any deductible under
Seller's casualty policy) and an assignment of the rights to any further
insurance and/or recovery to which Seller is or may be entitled. Seller shall
execute such assignment and other applicable documents as Buyer or the
applicable insurer may require to effect the assignment to Buyer of such
insurance proceeds. Seller shall promptly repair and restore all damage to the
Property arising from any casualty that is not a Substantial Casualty, with such
repairs and restoration to be completed in all events before the Closing Date.
16. Indemnification. Seller agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Buyer
harmless from and against any and all causes of action, claims, rights, demands,
liabilities, losses, damages, judgments and expenses, including reasonable
attorneys' fees, court costs and other legal expenses that Buyer may incur
whether or not litigation is commenced, arising from or in connection with: (i)
Seller's misrepresentation or breach of any representation or warranty in this
Agreement; provided, however, Buyer gives Seller notice during the period during
which the subject representation or warranty shall survive, (ii) Seller's
nonfulfillment of any covenant under this Agreement, (iii) any liability of
Seller to any party not being assumed by Buyer hereunder, including without

or omission occurring in connection with the Property through the close of
business on the Closing Date, or (v) any liability for personal injury or
property damage which has occurred on the Property or any portion thereof
through the close of business on the Closing Date. The provisions of this
Section 16 shall survive Closing.
17. Remedies.
A. Default by Buyer. If Buyer defaults hereunder in its obligation to
close, as Seller's sole remedy hereunder, Seller may elect to terminate
this Agreement, in which event Seller shall receive from Buyer copies (and
originals when available) of Buyer's inspection reports and studies
obtained hereunder, including the appraisal, the Commitment and the
Survey, and this Agreement shall be deemed null and void and neither party
shall have any further duties, liabilities or obligations hereunder,
except those that expressly survive the termination of this Agreement, and
in consideration thereof, Seller hereby waives and releases any right to
(and hereby agrees that it will not) xxx Buyer for specific performance of
this Agreement or to recover actual damages.
B. Default by Seller. If Seller defaults in its obligation to close
hereunder or otherwise defaults under any of Seller's obligations of this
Agreement, after receipt of five (5) days notice to cure (the "Seller Cure
Period"), then Buyer shall ------------------ have the right to: (a)
terminate this Agreement, in which event Seller shall reimburse Buyer for
its Inspection Costs under this Agreement in an amount not to exceed Sixty
Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($60,000.00) and this Agreement shall be
deemed null and void and neither party shall have any further duties,
liabilities or obligations hereunder, except those that expressly survive
the termination of this Agreement, or (b) file an action in a court of
competent jurisdiction to seek to compel Seller to specifically perform
its duties, liabilities and obligations hereunder; provided, that if Buyer
wishes to commence such an action in specific performance, Buyer shall
commence such action within ninety (90) days after the later of the
expiration of the Seller Cure Period or the scheduled date for the
Closing; and, further provided, that in either event, Buyer shall also be
entitled to recover from Seller its actual damages incurred as a result of
such default. The parties hereby
13
agree that the failure on the part of Seller to extend the Closing Date
beyond September 28, 2007, shall not constitute an event of default
hereunder.
C. Remedies Cumulative. All rights, privileges and remedies afforded
Buyer and Seller by this Agreement shall not be deemed to be a
waiver of any other right, remedy or privilege provided for herein,
subject, however, to the limitation on remedies set forth in this
Agreement, including without limitation those set forth in Section
17.A of this Agreement.
18. Assignment. Seller and Buyer acknowledge Buyer intends to assign Buyer's
interest in this Agreement before Closing to a third party. Buyer may assign
this Agreement and the rights, duties, interests, and obligations of Buyer
hereunder to a third party (the "Assignee") on the Closing Date without the
consent of Seller. Buyer shall provide Seller with notice of any assignment by
Buyer. Upon execution of an assignment and assumption agreement between Buyer
and Assignee which provides for Assignee's assumption of Buyer's rights,
obligations, and duties under this Agreement, Seller shall fully release and
discharge Buyer as named on page 1 of this Agreement (for purposes of this
Section 18, the "Named Buyer") from all obligations, duties, liabilities, claims
and responsibilities of Buyer under this Agreement and in connection with the
Property. After any such assignment, Seller will look solely to Assignee for the
performance and discharge of all the duties, obligations, liabilities and
responsibilities of Buyer under this Agreement, as if Assignee had been the
original Buyer under this Agreement. Upon the assignment and assumption,
Assignee shall become the "Buyer" under this Agreement, with all rights, duties,
interests, liabilities and obligations of Buyer hereunder. If such assignment
shall be made, then the sale of the Property contemplated by this Agreement
shall be consummated in the name of the Assignee or its assignee. Seller shall
not assign this Agreement to any person or entity, and any such assignment or
attempted assignment shall be void and of no force or effect. The provisions of
this Section 18 shall survive Closing.
19. Survival of Covenants and Agreements. To the extent provided herein, those
covenants, agreements, indemnifications, representations and warranties
contained herein that expressly survive Closing, shall survive the Closing Date,
payment of the Purchase Price, delivery and recordation of the Deed and any
investigation of the Property made by Buyer (whether before or after the
Closing) and, to the extent a survival period is specifically set forth herein,
for only such time period.
20. Amendment and Modification. Any alteration, change, amendment or
modification hereof, in order to become effective, shall be made by written
instrument or endorsed hereon and, in each such instance, executed on behalf of
Buyer and Seller.
21. Notices. All notices, consents, requests, demands and other communications
hereunder are to be in writing, and are deemed to have been duly given or made:

further instruments and do such further acts and things as may be required to

party.
27. Successors and Assigns. All provisions of this Agreement are binding upon,
inure to the benefit of and are enforceable by or against the parties and their

election provided under this Agreement must be exercised, or by which any act
required hereunder must be performed, or by which the Closing must be held,
expires on a Saturday, Sunday or legal or bank holiday, then such time period
shall be automatically extended through the close of business on the next
following business day.
29. Relationship of Parties. Nothing contained herein shall be construed or
interpreted as creating a partnership or joint venture between Buyer and Seller.
It is understood that the relationship is an arms length one that shall at all
times be and remain that of a buyer and a seller. Buyer and Seller agree that
the transaction contemplated hereby shall be reported by Buyer and Seller as a
sale transaction for federal, state and local tax purposes. The provisions of
this Section 29 shall survive Closing.
30. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement shall be held to be
illegal, invalid or unenforceable under present or future laws, such provision
shall be fully severable, and this Agreement shall be construed and enforced as
if such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision had never comprised a part
of this Agreement, and the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall remain
in full force and effect and not be affected by the illegal, invalid or
unenforceable provision or by its severance from this Agreement, provided that
Buyer and Seller may still effectively realize the complete benefit of the
transaction contemplated hereby.
31. Captions. Section captions are for convenience only and do not affect the

in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement each has been represented by
and has relied upon the advice of counsel of its choice. Each of Seller and
Buyer affirm that its counsel has had a substantial role in the drafting and
negotiation of this Agreement; therefore, this Agreement shall be deemed drafted
by each of Seller and Buyer, and the rule of construction to the effect that any
ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafter shall not be employed in the
interpretation of this Agreement.
35. Like Kind Exchange. Buyer acknowledges that Seller may, at its option,
seek to structure the sale of the Property as a like-kind exchange of property
within the meaning of Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended (a "Like-Kind Exchange"). Buyer shall cooperate with Seller in effecting
a qualifying Like-Kind Exchange as determined by Seller; and Buyer consents to
and agrees that Seller may assign its rights under this Agreement to a qualified
intermediary without Buyer's consent, and, in such event, such qualified
intermediary shall have the right to execute and deliver the closing statement
(which must also be consented to by Seller); provided, however, that the Deed to
Buyer shall be directly from Seller; and provided further, however, that such
Like-Kind Exchange may not result in any additional expense or obligation to
Buyer, may not increase Buyer's liabilities or obligations under this Agreement,
and may not interfere with the setting of the Closing Date as established by
Section 11 above. Buyer shall have no responsibility for any failure of the
transaction, alone or in combination with any other transaction, to qualify as a
Like-Kind Exchange, or for any liability for tax, interest, penalties, or any
other amount that Seller may incur to a taxing authority or to any other person
as a result of such a failure to qualify. The provisions of this Section 35
shall survive Closing.
16
36. Release of Closing Documents. In the event this Agreement shall be
terminated as provided herein, Buyer and Seller shall direct Title Company to
return all of the original signature pages of Buyer and Seller, respectively, to
such executing party, as more fully described in the Escrow Agreement.
37. Acknowledgment of Continuing Repair Obligations. Seller hereby
acknowledges and agrees that, notwithstanding anything set forth herein or in
the Seller's Disclosure Statements (including any disclosure or other
information regarding the condition (physical or otherwise) of the Property),
Seller, as the "tenant" under the Master Lease, shall not be relieved of any
repair, maintenance or other obligations set forth in the Master Lease as a
result of any such disclosures made hereunder or in the Seller's Disclosure
Statements. The provisions of this Section 37 shall survive Closing.

Buyer and Seller and each one's employees, officers, representatives, or other
agents may disclose to any and all persons, without limitation of any kind, the
tax treatment and tax structure of the transaction evidenced by this Agreement,
the Exhibits hereto, all other documents and instruments to be delivered in
connection herewith, and all materials or documents of any kind (including
opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to or obtained by Buyer or
Seller relating to such tax treatment and tax structure. The provisions of this
