ARTICLE 3
DUE DILIGENCE
Section 3.1 Title. Within five days from the date hereof, Purchaser
shall order and use its best efforts to obtain, at Purchaser's sole cost and
expense, a commitment (the "Title Commitment") from the Title Company to issue
to Purchaser at Closing a current ALTA Owner's Title Policy Form in the amount
of the Purchase Price naming the Purchaser as proposed insured and containing
the following endorsements:
A. Extended Coverage deleting all standard printed exceptions;
B. Access;

C. Contiguity;

E. Survey;
Said Title Commitment will disclose certain specific exceptions to
which the Property will be conveyed at the Closing (such permitted exceptions

Purchaser, in its sole discretion, shall be entitled to object to any exceptions
to title disclosed in the Title Commitment (including those set forth on Exhibit
D), or matters affecting title reflected on the Survey by a written notice of
objections delivered to Seller within five (5) business days after the date of
delivery of the Title Commitment and the Survey. If Purchaser fails to deliver
to Seller said notice of objections within such five (5) business day period,
Purchaser shall be deemed to have waived objection to any exceptions which
Seller is not otherwise required to remove under this Agreement, and thereafter
all such exceptions shall be deemed to be Permitted Exceptions (as hereinafter
defined). On or before a date which is five (5) days after the receipt of
Purchaser's notice of objections, Seller may, but shall not be obligated to,
obtain, as applicable, the issuance of an endorsement to the Title Commitment or
a revision to the Survey removing such exceptions or, if acceptable to
Purchaser, affirmative title insurance protection for such exceptions
satisfactory to Purchaser in Purchaser's reasonable discretion or deliver to
Purchaser written affirmation from Seller (which shall be deemed to be a cure
hereunder) that Seller shall cause certain items referenced in Purchaser's
notice to be removed from the Title Commitment or endorsed over, with an
endorsement reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser, on or before the Closing.
Section 3.2 Survey. Seller has ordered and will use its best efforts to
obtain a current ALTA Survey prepared by a surveyor licensed in the State of New
York certified in favor of Purchaser, the Title Company and such other persons
or entities as Purchaser shall designate depicting the Land and Improvements,
and meeting the Minimum Standard Detail Requirements jointly established by the
American Land Title Association and American Congress on Surveying and Mapping
in 1999, meeting the accuracy requirements for an "Urban Survey" and showing the
location of all the Improvements and easements upon the Land or appurtenant
thereto (identified by the Recorder's Document Number), that there are no
encroachments from or upon adjoining property or upon any easements located on
the Land (or if any such encroachments exist, identifying and locating same) and
containing relevant items from Table A of the Minimum Standard Detail
Requirements. The legal description on the ALTA Survey shall coincide exactly
with the legal description on the Title Commitment. The cost of the ALTA Survey
described above shall be paid by Seller at or prior to Closing..
4
Section 3.3 Searches. Purchaser may, at Purchaser's option and at
Purchaser's sole cost and expense, obtain on or before the Closing Date, Uniform
Commercial Code financing statement, tax lien, franchise tax, pending litigation
and judgment searches dated not earlier than ten (10) days' prior to Closing
showing Seller's interest in any personal property included as part of the
Property to be free and clear of all liens, security interests and adverse
claims other than those to be released at closing.
Section 3.4 Inspection. During the period ending at 5:00 p.m. Eastern
Standard Time on the date which is fourteen (14) days after execution and
delivery of this Agreement by both Seller and Purchaser (said period being
referred to as the "Inspection Period"), Purchaser and the agents, engineers,
employees, contractors and surveyors retained by Purchaser may enter upon the
Property, at any reasonable time and upon reasonable prior notice to Seller
(which notice shall be not less than 48 hours with respect to tenanted portions
of the Property), to inspect the Property, including a review of leases located
at the Property, and to conduct and prepare such studies, tests and surveys as
Purchaser may deem reasonably necessary and appropriate. Purchaser shall not
perform any intrusive testing, including, without limitation, drilling and any
Phase II environmental inspections, without Seller's prior written consent, such
consent to be given in the sole and absolute discretion of Seller.
In the event that Purchaser is not satisfied for any or no reason with
the results of its inspections and examinations in its sole and absolute
discretion, then and in such event, Purchaser shall have the right, on or before
the expiration of the Inspection Period ("Inspection Period Expiration Date"),
to terminate this Agreement upon written notice to Seller and the Xxxxxxx Money
shall be returned to Purchaser and thereafter, neither party shall have any
rights against the other with respect to the terms and provisions of this
Agreement except those which are specifically stated to survive the termination
of this agreement. In the event that Purchaser does not terminate this Agreement
on or before the Inspection Period Expiration Date in accordance with the terms
and provisions of this paragraph, then and in such event it shall be deemed to
have approved the results of its "Due Diligence" examination during the
Inspection Period, if any, conducted in accordance with the terms and provisions
of this paragraph.
All of the foregoing tests, investigations and studies to be conducted
under this Paragraph 3.4 by Purchaser shall be at Purchaser's sole cost and
expense and Purchaser shall restore the Property to the condition existing prior
to the performance of such tests or investigations by or on behalf of Purchaser.
Purchaser shall defend, indemnify and hold Seller and any advisor, affiliate,
parent of Seller, and all shareholders, employees, officers and directors of
Seller or Seller's advisor, affiliate or parent (hereinafter collectively
referred to as "Affiliate of Seller") harmless from any and all liability, cost
and expense (including without limitation, reasonable attorney's fees, court
costs and costs of appeal) suffered or incurred by Seller or Affiliates of

and inspection of the Property excluding any diminution of the value of the
Property due to the discovery of Hazardous Materials. Purchaser shall undertake
its obligation to defend set forth in the preceding sentence using attorneys
selected by Seller, in Seller's sole discretion.

CLOSING ADJUSTMENTS AND CLOSING COSTS
Section 9.1 Prorations. As hereinafter more particularly described,
certain of the items described in this Section shall be prorated between the
parties on a per diem basis (on the basis of actual calendar days and a 365-day
year) so that, subject to the more particular provisions set forth below,
Seller's pro rata share of credits and charges for all days preceding the
18
applicable proration date shall be allocated to Seller and credits and charges
for the applicable proration date and all days thereafter shall be allocated to
Purchaser. In connection with the prorations and allocations provided for
herein, Purchaser and Seller shall jointly prepare a proration schedule in
reasonable detail showing each item prorated or adjusted.
Section 9.2 Rent. Current and prepaid base rent (collectively "Fixed
Rent") and Percentage Rent, if any, shall be prorated as of midnight of the day
immediately preceding the Closing Date. Some or all of the Leases provide for
reimbursement of certain expenses of owning, operating, maintaining and managing
the Land and Improvements ("Operating Expense") and for real estate taxes
("Taxes"). Some or all of the Leases provide for a determination of the tenant's
share of Operating Expenses and Taxes on an annual basis provided that estimated
payments thereof are paid periodically during the course of the year with the
final adjustment to be made after the close of the year once Operating Expenses
and Taxes have been finally determined. The amounts due from tenants for such
items, including estimated payments, shall be prorated at Closing in the same
manner that Fixed Rents are prorated as provided above. Seller shall not receive
a credit at Closing for any payments of rental obligations (including tax and
expense contributions) not paid on the Closing Date from tenants under the terms
of the Leases. Payments of rental obligations (including tax and expense
contributions) received by Purchaser after Closing shall be applied first, for
rent and other lease obligations (including tax and expense contributions) due
or accrued from tenants from and after the Closing Date and when such rents and
other lease obligations (including tax and expense contributions) have been paid
in full, the balance shall be promptly remitted by Purchaser to Seller to the
extent of any delinquent rents due Seller.
Section 9.3 Taxes. Current real estate taxes not yet due and owing as
of the Closing Date shall be prorated as of midnight of the day immediately
preceding the Closing Date based upon the tax year of the applicable tax
authority so that the portion of current taxes allocable to the period from the
beginning of such tax year through the Closing Date shall be the responsibility
of Seller and the portion of the current taxes allocable to the portion of such
tax year from the Closing Date to the end of such tax year shall be the
responsibility of Purchaser. If the amount of the current general taxes is not
then ascertainable, the adjustment thereof shall be based on one hundred percent
(100%) of the most recently ascertainable tax xxxx. Seller and Purchaser do
hereby further agree with regard to the proration for real estate taxes, to
reprorate said real estate taxes forthwith upon Purchaser's receipt of the
actual tax xxxx(s) for the tax year or tax years in question. This covenant
shall survive the Closing of this transaction until such reproration is
effected.
Section 9.4 Operating Expenses. Seller shall be responsible for payment
of all Operating Expenses through midnight of the day immediately preceding the
Closing Date and shall be entitled to retain all reimbursements collected from
tenants on account of Operating Expenses and Taxes with respect to the period
through midnight of the day preceding the Closing Date. Purchaser shall be
19
responsible for the payment of Operating Expenses and Taxes attributable to the
Property and accruing on and after the Closing Date. Purchaser shall be entitled
to retain, for its own account, all reimbursements collected from tenants on
account of Operating Expenses and Taxes accruing with respect to the period
occurring on or after the Closing Date. As part of the final proration referred
to in Section 9.8 hereof there shall be a computation of the total Operating
Expenses and Taxes for the year in which the Closing occurs for which Seller is
responsible pursuant to the terms hereof and for which Purchaser is responsible
pursuant to the terms hereof and a computation of the reimbursements on account
of Operating Expenses and Taxes received, whether by Seller or Purchaser, from
tenants and appropriate adjustment shall be made between the parties to
effectuate the provisions of this Article 9.
Section 9.5 Security Deposits. All cash security deposits made by
tenants of the Property shall be credited to Purchaser at Closing, and all
non-cash security deposits, if any, shall be delivered to Purchaser at Closing.
Section 9.6 Closing Costs. Seller shall pay all costs and expenses
required to be paid in order for Seller to comply with its covenants, agreements
and obligations hereunder. Purchaser shall bear and pay all title insurance
premiums and charges, including the premiums for the extended coverage and other
endorsements described in Article 3 hereof. The cost of the survey shall be paid
as provided in Section 3.2 hereof. Seller shall pay all escrow fees. All state,
county and City of White Plains transfer taxes on the sale contemplated
hereunder shall be paid by Seller. Purchaser shall pay all recording fees for
the deed and assignments, and all fees or charges associated with Purchaser's
financing, if any.
Section 9.7 Other Items. All other items which are customarily prorated
in transactions similar to the transaction contemplated hereby and which were
not heretofore dealt with, will be prorated as of the Closing Date. Seller shall
receive a credit in respect of a refundable gas utility deposit to that extent
that such deposit has been assigned to the Purchaser and the utility company has
been notified and has consented to such assignments.
Section 9.8 Reproration. To the extent practicable, all prorations
shall be made at Closing. To the extent any such prorations cannot be made at
the Closing, the same shall be adjusted and completed after the Closing as and
when complete information becomes available. Seller and Purchaser agree to
cooperate and to use their best efforts to complete such prorations no later
than thirty (30) days after the complete information becomes available. Seller
and Purchaser shall use their best efforts prior to the Closing to prepare a
schedule of prorations covering current monthly rent, prepaid rent and security
deposits, and real property taxes and assessments so that such prorations can be
made at the Closing. All adjustments made pursuant to this Article 9 shall be
paid in cash or as a credit against the Purchase Price at Closing. The
provisions of Article 9 shall survive the Closing.
