In consideration of the Xxxxxxx Money (as defined in this Agreement), the mutual covenants of
the parties, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which
are acknowledged, the Purchaser and Seller agree follows:
ARTICLE 1
Purchase and Sale
1.1 Agreement of Purchase and Sale. Subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter set
forth, Seller agrees to sell and convey to Purchaser and Purchaser agrees to purchase the
following:
(a) that certain tract or parcel of land situated in Chicago, Illinois, more particularly
described on Exhibit A, together with all and singular the rights and appurtenances pertaining to
such property, including any right, title and interest of Seller in and to adjacent streets,
alleys, or rights-of-way (the “Land”);
(b) the buildings, structures, fixtures and other improvements located on the Land (the
“Improvements”);
(c) all of Seller’s right, title and interest in and to all tangible personal property upon
the Land or within the Improvements, including specifically, without limitation, appliances,
furniture, carpeting, draperies and curtains, tools and supplies, and other items of personal
property owned by Seller and used exclusively in connection with the operation of the Land and the
Improvements (the “Personal Property”);
(d) all of Seller’s right, title and interest in and to all agreements listed and described on
Exhibit B (the “Lease Schedule”), pursuant to which any portion of the Land or Improvements
is used or occupied by anyone other than Seller (the “Leases”), including any guaranties of
such Leases and any unapplied security deposits paid by tenants to Seller, together with any
interest accrued thereon; and
(e) all of Seller’s right, title and interest in and to (i) all assignable contracts and
agreements (collectively, the “Service Contracts”) listed and described on Exhibit C (the
“Contracts Schedule”), relating to the upkeep, repair, maintenance or operation of the
Land, Improvements or Personal Property which will extend beyond the date of Closing (as
hereinafter
1
defined), including specifically, without limitation, all assignable equipment leases, (ii)
all assignable construction contracts and agreements listed and described on Exhibit C
attached thereto and made a part hereof relating to construction at the Property which shall extend
beyond the Closing Date (collectively, the “Construction Contracts”), (iii) all assignable
warranties and guaranties (expressed or implied) existing with respect to the Improvements or the
Personal Property, and (iv) all assignable trade names, logos, licenses, permits, air rights,
certificates of occupancy, signs, trademarks, telephone listings and numbers (the
“Intangibles”).
1.2 Property Defined. The Land, the Improvements, the Personal Property, the Leases, the
Service Contracts, the Construction Contracts and the Intangibles are sometimes referred to
collectively as the “Property.”
1.3 Permitted Exceptions. Seller will convey the Property subject to the matters which are,
or are deemed to be, Permitted Exceptions pursuant to Article 3 hereof.
ARTICLE 2
Purchase Price and Xxxxxxx Money
Purchase Price and Xxxxxxx Money
2.1 Purchase Price. The purchase price for the property is the sum of Two Hundred Twenty
Three Million and 00/100 Dollars ($223,000,000.00) (the “Purchase Price”).
2.2 Payment of Purchase Price. The Purchase Price is payable in full at Closing, without
reduction, adjustment or setoff (other than as expressly authorized with respect to the closing
adjustments and prorations set forth in Article 9), in cash by federal wire transfer of immediately
available funds to a bank account designated by the Title Insurer in writing to Purchaser at or
prior to Closing.
2.3 Xxxxxxx Money. Within two (2) business days after the Effective Date, Purchaser must
deposit with Chicago Title Insurance Company (the “Title Insurer”), having its office at
0000 Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx Xxxx, Xxxxx 000, Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxx 00000, Attention: Xxxxxxxxxxx X. Xxxxxxxxx,
the sum of Sixteen Million Dollars ($16,000,000.00) (the “Xxxxxxx Money”) in good funds,
either by certified bank or cashier’s check or by federal wire transfer. The Title Insurer will
invest the Xxxxxxx Money in government insured interest-bearing accounts satisfactory to Seller and
Purchaser, will not commingle the Xxxxxxx Money with any funds of Escrow Agent or others, and will
promptly provide Purchaser and Seller with confirmation of the investments made. Such account will
have no penalty for early withdrawal, and Purchaser accepts all risks with regard to such account.
In the event the Xxxxxxx Money is not actually received by the Title Insurer within the applicable
time period specified, this Agreement will become null and void and of no further force or effect
whatsoever, and upon demand by Seller, Purchaser will reimburse Seller for all costs and expenses
incurred in connection with the preparation, execution and delivery of this Agreement, including,
without limitation, all attorneys fees and expenses incurred by Seller’s personnel and Third-Party
consultants and advisors.
2.4 Independent Consideration. The sum of One Hundred Dollars ($100.00) (the “Independent
Consideration”) out of the Xxxxxxx Money is independent of any other consideration provided
hereunder, shall be fully earned by Seller upon the Effective Date hereof, and is not refundable to
Purchaser under any circumstances. Accordingly, if this Agreement is
2
terminated for any reason by either party, the Independent Consideration shall be paid by the
Title Company to Seller.
ARTICLE 3
Title and Survey
Title and Survey
3.1 Seller’s Title and Survey Deliveries. Purchaser acknowledges that Seller has delivered to
Purchaser:
(a) a current commitment for title insurance (the “Title Commitment”) issued by the
Title Insurer, along with legible copies of all documents of record referred to therein; and
(b) a copy of Seller’s most recent survey of the Property (the “Existing Survey”).
3.2 Title Examination and Survey. Seller shall, upon receipt of same, deliver to Purchaser an
updated survey of the Land (the “Updated Survey”). Purchaser will complete its examination
of title to the Property, including, without limitation, matters of survey, prior to the expiration
of the Inspection Period (as hereinafter defined). All matters affecting title to the Property as
of the expiration of the Inspection Period that are set forth in the Title Commitment, filed in the
public real estate records or would have been shown by a current survey will constitute permitted
title exceptions approved by Purchaser (the “Permitted Exceptions”) for all purposes of
this Agreement, except as hereinafter provided. Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that Seller will
have no obligation or duty whatsoever to cure any title exceptions or defects affecting the
Property that existed of record as of the expiration of the Inspection Period except (a) liens and
security interests securing any loan to Seller and any other liens or security interests created by
documents executed by Seller to secure monetary obligations, other than liens for ad valorem taxes
and assessments for the current calendar year, (b) any liens or encumbrances resulting from
Seller’s intentional breach of its covenant not to encumber the Property pursuant to Section 7.2
hereof and (c) the recorded Declaration between Seller and X.X. Xxxxxxx & CO KGaA with respect to
the Property.
3.3 Subsequent Title Defects. In the event any material and adverse matter affecting title
to the Property arises or is first disclosed to Purchaser after the expiration of the Inspection
Period, and Purchaser did not have notice of such matter, nor was such matter filed in the public
real estate records or would have been shown by a current survey as of the end of the Inspection
Period, then the following provisions will apply:
(a) Purchaser must notify Seller of such matter in writing within two (2) business days of
Purchaser’s learning of such matter and, in any event, not later than Closing;
(b) If the matter is one which was caused by an act or omission by Seller and can be cured
solely by the payment of money, then Seller will be obligated to cure such title defect not later
than Closing, by either discharging the matter by payment, posting a bond for payment, or by
causing Purchaser’s title insurer affirmatively to insure over the matter; provided, however,
Seller’s aggregate liability with respect to matters subject to this Section 3.3(b) will not exceed
the sum of $25,000; provided further, however, Seller shall be required so to cure any such matter
constituting (a) liens and security interests securing any loan to Seller and any other liens
3
or security interests created by documents executed by Seller to secure monetary obligations,
other than liens for ad valorem taxes and assessments for the current calendar year, (b) any liens
or encumbrances resulting from Seller’s intentional breach of its covenant not to encumber the
Property pursuant to Section 7.2 hereof and (c) the recorded Declaration between Seller and X.X.
Xxxxxxx & CO KGaA with respect to the Property.
(c) In the event the matter is not described in Section 3.3(b), above, and Seller does not
elect to cure such matter by written notice to Purchaser within five (5) business days
(“Seller’s Response Period”) of Seller’s receipt of Purchaser’s notice under Section 3.3(a)
(and Closing will be delayed as necessary to permit Seller such period of response), then Purchaser
must elect either (i) to terminate this Agreement, in which case the Xxxxxxx Money will be refunded
in full to Purchaser and thereupon this Agreement will be null and void and of no further force and
effect whatsoever, except for the terms of this Agreement which expressly survive termination by
Purchaser; provided, however, Seller may condition the refund of the Xxxxxxx Money upon the
execution and delivery by Purchaser to Seller of an instrument in recordable form that disclaims
any and all continuing right, title and interest in and to the Property; or (ii) to waive such
title defect and proceed with Closing pursuant to the terms and conditions hereof without offset or
other credit or adjustment to the Purchase Price, in which event such title defect will constitute
a Permitted Exception and Purchaser waives any claim against Seller with respect to such title
defect. In the event Purchaser elects to terminate pursuant to the preceding clause (i), Purchaser
must provide Seller with prompt written notice of such election not later than two (2) business
days after the expiration of Seller’s Response Period. A failure timely to make an affirmative
election to terminate pursuant to the preceding clause (i) will be deemed an election pursuant to
clause (ii) to waive such matter.
ARTICLE 4
Information and Inspection
Information and Inspection
4.1 Seller’s Deliveries. Purchaser acknowledges that, prior to the Effective Date hereof,
Seller has made available to Purchaser (via electronic data room, at the Property or otherwise) all
of the information with respect to the Property listed in Exhibit N attached hereto and
made a part hereof (the “Information Documents”) to the extent available to Seller or in
Seller’s possession or in the possession of Seller’s current property manager (“Manager”),
and that Purchaser has had or will have an opportunity to review all such Information Documents.
Seller shall cooperate in good faith with Purchaser to provide other reasonably requested
documentation with respect to the Property; provided, however, in no event shall Seller be required
to deliver any of the confidential information more particularly described in Section 4.10 hereof.
4.2 Reliability of Information. The Information Documents and any additional information
requested by Purchaser are being furnished to Purchaser for information purposes only. Purchaser
acknowledges and agrees that it is accepting the Information Documents and other documents with the
understanding that the information therein has been compiled by persons and entities other than
Seller, and Seller has not verified and does not independently certify that the information
contained therein is true, correct or complete in all respects. With respect to any reports by
third-party consultants pertaining to the environmental condition of the Property, the structural
condition of the property, the condition of the building systems within the
4
Improvements, and other matters pertaining to the Property (the “Third-Party
Reports”), Purchaser further acknowledges and agrees that it understands and has been informed
by Seller that Seller has not and does not adopt or ratify the findings of the third-party
consultants who prepared the Third-Party Reports, does not represent that the Third-Party Reports
are accurate in all or any respects, and does not warrant or represent that the Third-Party Reports
can or should be relied upon by Purchaser in making its investment decisions concerning the
Property, except to the extent that such Third-Party Reports have been certified to Purchaser
pursuant to an executed reliance letter between the third-party consultant and Purchaser, but not
Seller.
4.3 Inspection Period Defined. As used in this Agreement, the term “Inspection
Period” means the period commencing upon the date upon which Purchaser has complied with all of
the obligations of Purchaser as set forth in Section 4.5 (pertaining to Purchaser’s obligation to
provide Seller with certain insurance protection with respect to Purchaser’s inspection rights) and
ending at 10:00 a.m., Central Time, on March 10, 2006. Purchaser and Seller acknowledge that the
Inspection Period expired prior to the execution of this Agreement and Purchaser has no right to
terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 4.6 hereof.
4.4 Purchaser’s Obligation to Inspect. Purchaser shall have access to the Property and the
Information Documents through Closing, or until the earlier termination of this Agreement, pursuant
to the terms of that certain Access Agreement entered into by and between Seller and Xxxxx
Interests Limited Partnership, an affiliate of Purchaser, on March 3, 2006 and the terms of this
Agreement. During the Inspection Period (as hereinafter defined), Purchaser covenants and agrees
that it will inspect the Property and otherwise use due diligence to determine the suitability of
the Property as an investment by Purchaser, at its sole cost and expense. Purchaser represents
that Purchaser has conducted an investigation of, and fully understands, the economic market
conditions (the “Market Conditions”) of the Chicago office market, including, without
limitation, market rentals, tenant concessions and vacancy factors, and acknowledges that the
Purchase Price takes into account the Market Conditions. In addition to such other activities that
Purchaser may determine to be appropriate to carry out such due diligence, Purchaser intends to do
all of the following: (a) examine the books and records maintained by Manager with respect to the
Property; (b) interview Manager with respect to the operation and management of the Improvements;
(c) examine the physical structures and components of the Improvements, including, without
limitation, the life safety systems, electrical, mechanical, and HVAC systems; (d) conduct studies
to determine that the Property and the operation thereof complies with all requirements of all
governmental agencies and authorities having jurisdiction with respect thereto, including, without
limitation matters of zoning, building code compliance, compliance with the Americans with
Disabilities Act, and (e) make such studies and investigations, conduct such tests and surveys and
engage such independent contractors, environmental engineers, environmental consultants, and
experts as necessary to enable Purchaser to evaluate any and all environmental risks associated
with the ownership and operation of the Property and its compliance with “Environmental Laws” (as
defined in Section 4.13); (f) conduct such investigation as is prudent with respect to the
requirements of the USA Patriot Act of 2001, the Bank Secrecy Act, Executive Order 13324 (66 Fed.
Reg. 49079) and other similar governmental requirements and (g) otherwise CONDUCT A COMPLETE AND
THOROUGH INVESTIGATION AND EXAMINATION OF THE PROPERTY EMPLOYING THE HIGHEST LEVELS OF DUE
DILIGENCE NORMALLY AND CUSTOMARILY EMPLOYED BY SOPHISTICATED
5
INSTITUTIONAL INVESTORS IN COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS. To the extent
Purchaser does not currently have available its own employees who are competent to conduct such
examinations and inspections, Purchaser will retain such consultants, independent contractors and
other professional advisors as necessary to enable it to fulfill its obligation to employ such
levels of due diligence. From and after the Effective Date and until the earlier to occur of
termination of this Agreement or Closing, Purchaser and its representatives and agents will have
the right, upon reasonable prior notice, to enter upon the Property for the purpose of examining,
inspecting and testing the Property. Purchaser and its agents and representatives will at all such
times maintain the insurance coverages required under Section 4.5. Purchaser will provide Seller
and Manager with reasonable notice regarding the scope and execution of its activities, including,
proposed timing of inspections and any anticipated need to interview specified personnel. Any and
all interviews of tenants under the Leases may be conducted only at such times and in such manner
as may be reasonably approved by Manager, and Manager may condition all such interviews upon the
ability of Manager to be present during such interviews. Purchaser will not unreasonably disturb
or interfere with the operation, management or use of the Property by Seller, Manager, the tenants
under the Leases, or by any of their respective agents, customers, invitees, or guests. Neither
Purchaser nor any of its agents or contractors may conduct inspection activities that involve the
disassembly of any building components, the removal of permanent wall coverings or partitions, the
drilling or boring into the Land or Improvements, or any other similar invasive activity without
the written consent of Seller, which consent may be given or withheld at Seller’s sole discretion
and may be further conditioned upon such adequate bonds and additional security as Seller may
reasonably require to protect itself and the Property from loss, damage or injury.
4.5 Indemnity and Liability Insurance. Purchaser will be responsible for any and all losses,
damages, charges and other costs associated with its examinations, inspections, and other
activities conducted as a part of its due diligence, and at the conclusion of the Inspection
Period, must return the Property to the same condition as existed prior to such examinations,
inspections and other activities. Purchaser must discharge any liens that attach against the
Property as a result of its inspections by payment, bonding off or otherwise removing such liens
promptly on demand. Purchaser agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Seller from and against any
and all claims, charges, actions, costs, suits, damages, injuries, or other liabilities which
arise, either directly or indirectly, from Purchaser’s or its agent’s, contractor’s, or employee’s
entry onto the Land and Improvements prior to Closing. In order further to protect Seller from any
such loss, damage, charge and other costs, Purchaser agrees that it will deliver to Seller and will
cause each of its agents and contractors that enter the Land and Improvements on its behalf to
deliver to Seller, prior to any such entry, a certificate of liability insurance, showing Seller,
Manager and Seller’s investment advisor as additional insureds and complying with the coverage and
policy provisions specified on the insurance Schedule attached hereto as Exhibit D. Purchaser’s
liability pursuant to this Section 4.5 will survive any termination of this Agreement for any
reason whatsoever.
4.6 Purchaser’s Right to Terminate. At any time prior to the expiration of the Inspection
Period, Purchaser has the right to elect to terminate this Agreement if Purchaser determines in its
sole and absolute discretion that the Property is not suitable to Purchaser for any reason other
than (i) Market Conditions or (ii) the physical condition of the Property. Any such election must
be in writing, and upon timely receipt thereof by Seller, the Xxxxxxx Money will be
6
refunded in full to Purchaser and thereupon this Agreement will be null and void and of no
further force and effect whatsoever, except for the terms of this Agreement which expressly survive
termination by Purchaser; provided, however, Seller may condition the refund of the Xxxxxxx Money
upon the execution and delivery by Purchaser to Seller of an instrument in recordable form that
disclaims any and all continuing right, title and interest in and to the Property and if requested
by Seller, the delivery to Seller of the reports and studies referred to in Section 4.4 and any
survey obtained by Purchaser.
4.7 Seller’s Right to Terminate. In the event that the Seller, on behalf of the Fund, does
not obtain the required consent of its Supervisory Board and X.X. Xxxxxxx & CO KGaA, its depositary
bank, pursuant to the German law known as the Investmentgesetz, to the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement on or before 10:00 a.m., Central Time, on March 10, 2006, then Seller shall have the
right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to terminate this Agreement. Any such election shall be
in writing, and upon delivery of such notice, the Xxxxxxx Money will be refunded in full to
Purchaser, Seller shall pay to purchaser $100.00 as consideration for entering into this Agreement
and thereupon this Agreement will be null and void and of no further force and effect whatsoever,
except for the terms of this Agreement which expressly survive termination by Purchaser. Purchaser
and Seller acknowledge that the deadline above in this Section 4.7 expired prior to the execution
of this Agreement and Seller has no right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 4.7.
4.8 Continuing Agreement. If Purchaser does not elect to terminate this Agreement prior to
the expiration of the Inspection Period, then: (a) this Agreement will remain in full force and
effect, and (b) PURCHASER WILL BE DEEMED TO HAVE ACCEPTED THE PROPERTY ON AN “AS IS” BASIS, SUBJECT
ONLY TO THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT AND THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS SET FORTH IN THE DOCUMENTS
EXECUTED AND DELIVERED BY SELLER AT CLOSING (“SELLER’S CLOSING DOCUMENTS”), and (c)
Purchaser will be deemed and agreed to accept title to the Property subject to the Permitted
Exceptions. In the event Purchaser does not elect to terminate this Agreement, then Seller’s sole
obligation with respect to the physical condition of the Property will be to deliver possession
thereof to Purchaser, subject to Article 11 hereof in the event of a casualty, in substantially the
same physical condition, normal wear and tear excepted, as existed as of the expiration of the
Inspection Period. PURCHASER HAS AGREED TO ACCEPT POSSESSION OF THE PROPERTY AT CLOSING ON AN “AS
IS” BASIS. SELLER AND PURCHASER AGREE THAT THE PROPERTY WILL BE SOLD “AS IS” AND EXCEPT AS SET
FORTH IN ARTICLE 5, SUCH SALE WILL BE WITHOUT REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY BY SELLER OF ANY KIND,
EXPRESS OR IMPLIED (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, WARRANTY OF INCOME POTENTIAL, OPERATING
EXPENSES, USES, MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE), AND SELLER HEREBY DISCLAIMS
AND RENOUNCES ANY SUCH REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY.
4.9 “As Is” Defined. As used in this Agreement, the term “As Is” means, as and where the
Property presently exists as of the expiration of the Inspection Period, including, without
limitation, all faults, defects, claims, liens, and other conditions of every kind or description
with respect to (a) physical and environmental condition of the Property, including defects seen
and unseen and conditions natural and artificial, (b) the Permitted Exceptions,
7
(c) the Service Contracts, (d) the financial operation and condition of the Property, (e)
compliance with all laws, ordinances, rules and regulations to which the Property is subject, (f)
all claims, demands, actions or causes of action that relate in any way to the property or the
ownership and operation thereof, whether known or unknown, and (g) all other matters related in any
way to the ownership and operation of the Property, whether known or unknown.
4.10 Confidential Information. Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that Seller, Manager and
certain of their affiliates may have the following confidential information concerning the
Property: state and federal income tax returns and filing information, internal evaluations,
budgets and appraisals, information relating to the Fund or advisory services, loan files
pertaining to mortgage financing obtained or considered for the Property by Seller or its agents,
advisors, and contractors, personnel files related to present and past employees of Seller (if any)
and Manager and their affiliates, and privileged attorney-client communications. Purchaser hereby
disclaims any interest in examining any such confidential information and agrees that such
information does not constitute a part of the Information Documents and that the withholding of
such information is not in violation of any duty or obligation owed to Purchaser under this
Agreement or otherwise, regardless of the content thereof.
4.11 Intentionally Omitted.
4.12 Hazardous Materials. Except as expressly set forth in Section 5.5, Seller makes no
representation whatsoever regarding: (a) compliance with “Environmental Laws” as that term is
hereinafter defined, (b) the presence, location or scope of any materials, waste, contaminates,
pollutants, mold, fungus, bacteria or other substances or conditions which are toxic, dangerous,
radioactive, disease causing, carcinogenic, infectious, caustic, or contain petroleum products or
by-products, asbestos, heavy metals, or are defined as toxic, dangerous to health or otherwise
hazardous by reference to any Environmental Laws. As used in this Agreement, “Environmental
Laws” means collectively Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act
of 1980 (commonly known as “CERCLA”), as amended, the Superfund Amendments and
Reauthorization Act (commonly known as “XXXX”), the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act
(commonly known as “RCRA”), and any other federal, state or local environmental legislation
or ordinances applicable to the Property.
4.13 Availability of Information. Purchaser acknowledges that it understands that the
Information Documents and other information concerning the Property may be located in more than one
location. PURCHASER ASSUMES THE RESPONSIBILITY TO NOTIFY SELLER OF THE FILES AND DOCUMENTS
PURCHASER WISHES TO INSPECT. ALL SUCH FILES AND DOCUMENTS (OTHER THAN CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION AS
DESCRIBED IN SECTION 4.10) WILL BE MADE AVAILABLE FOR PURCHASER’S INSPECTION, REVIEW AND COPYING,
AND TO THE EXTENT POSSIBLE TO DO SO WITHOUT UNDUE BURDEN OR EXPENSE, SELLER WILL USE REASONABLE
EFFORTS TO COLLECT SUCH DOCUMENTS AND FILES FOR SUCH INSPECTION, REVIEW AND COPYING AT THE

4.14 Information from Agents. In making its investment decisions with respect to the
Property, including its decision to elect or not elect to terminate this Agreement during the
Inspection Period, Purchaser may interview Manager, the other parties to the Service Contracts
8
and Construction Contracts, and Seller’s employees, agents, contractors, and investment
advisors. Although Seller is willing to cooperate with Purchaser in connection with its due
diligence activities and will instruct Manager and Seller’s employees (if any), agents,
contractors, and investment advisors to cooperate with Purchaser and its agents, contractors and
consultants, Seller is unwilling to sell the Property to Purchaser unless there is a clear
understanding between the parties that Seller will not have any liability with respect to any
opinions, statements, warranties, representations, or other information furnished to Purchaser by
such employees, agents, contractors, and investment advisors, unless expressly incorporated in this
Agreement as Seller’s representations. Accordingly, Purchaser releases and discharges Seller from
any and all damage, injury, or loss suffered by Purchaser as a result of: (a) any and all such
statements, information, opinions and other matters furnished by such employees, agents,
contractors, and investment advisors of Seller, except to the extent expressly incorporated in this
Agreement as a representation of Seller, and (b) any omission to disclose information or
withholding of information by any such employees, agents, contractors, and investment advisors of
Seller, unless done at the express direction of an officer of Seller and Purchaser was not aware of
such omission or withholding.
4.15 Purchaser Certificate and Release. It is a condition precedent to the obligations of
Seller under this Agreement that the Certificate of Release attached hereto as Exhibit E be fully
executed and delivered at Closing by Purchaser to Seller. The Certificate and Release certifies
and supports the fact that Purchaser and its consultants, independent contractors, and other
professional advisors of Purchaser’s choice have (or could have) (a) physically inspected the
Property, (b) determined the fair market value of the Property in its As Is condition, (c)
satisfied themselves as to the financial performance of the Property and its potential return on
investment, (d) analyzed the present and projected uses of the Property, (e) independently verified
the completeness and accuracy of the Information Documents and all other information provided by
Seller and/or its agents which Purchaser deemed necessary or material in connection with the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (f) independently tested and examined the Property
from a physical, structural and environmental standpoint, and (g) otherwise conducted a complete
and thorough investigation and examination of the Property and the tenants under the Leases
employing the highest levels of due diligence and that Purchaser has accepted the Property As Is,
subject to the representations and warranties set forth in Article 5. The Certificate and Release
further releases Seller from and waives all claims against and liability of Seller to Purchaser for
any structural, physical, and environmental condition at the Property and further releases Seller
from and waives all liability of Seller to Purchaser for any and all claims or causes of action
based on, connected with, or arising out of any Environmental Laws, Hazardous Material, requirement
or liability imposed under any other law or regulation or any governmental agency or regulatory
body having jurisdiction over the Property, or otherwise asserted against the Property or Purchaser
by any person or entity whatsoever, except as set forth in Article 5. The Certificate and Release
further will confirm the agreement of the parties that Purchaser has not relied upon any
representation, inducement, or unperformed promise of Seller or Seller’s employees, agents,
contractors, or investment advisors, except to the extent expressly set forth in this Agreement.

5.2 No Litigation. To Seller’s knowledge, there is no action, suit, arbitration, unsatisfied
order or judgment, governmental investigation or proceeding pending against the Property or the
transaction contemplated by this Agreement, which, if adversely determined, could individually or
in the aggregate have a material adverse effect on title to the Property or any portion thereof or
which could in any material way interfere with the consummation by Seller of the transaction
contemplated by this Agreement.
5.3 The Leases.
(a) The Lease Schedule on Exhibit B-1 is a true, correct and complete list of all Leases in
effect at the Property and all amendments and modifications thereto, and except as set forth in

(notwithstanding the termination thereof), with respect to any lease signed by Purchaser within one
hundred twenty (120) days after Closing with any party identified on a list (a “Prospect
List”) delivered by Buck. The Prospect List for the Buck Leasing Agreement shall include only

termination and/or (ii) to whom Buck has submitted a written proposal
10
prior to its termination and/or (iii) with whom Buck has been engaged in material discussions and/or

sixty (60) day period immediately preceding the termination of the Stone Agreement. Seller shall
deliver to Purchaser at Closing a true and correct copy of each Prospect List if received as of
such date; provided, however, Purchaser acknowledges that Buck and Stone may have the right,
pursuant to the terms of their respective leasing or commission agreements, to deliver their
Prospect Lists to Seller on a date after the date of Closing, and in the event that Seller does not
receive any Prospect List until after Closing for such reason, Seller shall deliver such Prospect
List to Purchaser promptly upon receipt, and Purchaser agrees that it shall be responsible for any
commissions which may become due and payable with respect to any party on such Prospect List as set
forth above.
(d) There are no outstanding tenant improvement allowances, construction obligations or other
leasing costs as of the date hereof that shall be due and payable before or after the Closing with
respect to any of the Leases on Exhibit B, except as set forth in Schedule 5.3(d) hereof
and except for any refurbishment or improvement allowances set forth in such Leases that may become
due after Closing.
5.4 Notices of Violations or Actions. Seller has not received any written notification from
any governmental or public authority (a) that the Property is in violation of any applicable fire,
health, building, use, occupancy or zoning laws where such violation remains outstanding and, if
unaddressed, would have a material adverse effect on the use of the Property as currently owned and
operated or (b) that any work is required to be done upon or in connection with the Property, where
such work remains outstanding and, if unaddressed, would have a material adverse effect on the use
of the Property as currently owned and operated. Seller has not received prior to the Effective
Date any written notification from any governmental or public authority that the Property is the
subject of any pending or threatened condemnation proceedings.
5.5 Environmental Notices. Except as shown on the environmental assessment report covering
the Land and Improvements listed on Exhibit P (which has been made available to Purchaser pursuant
to Section 4.1) or as otherwise disclosed in writing to Purchaser, to Seller’s knowledge, Seller
has received no written notification that any governmental or quasi-governmental authority has
determined that there are any violations of any Environmental Laws at the Property.
5.6 Contracts. To Seller’s knowledge, the Contracts Schedule is a true, correct and complete
list, in all material respects, of the Service Contracts and Construction Contracts in effect with
respect to the Property as of the Effective Date of this Agreement, and to Seller’s
11
knowledge there
are no other service contracts or construction contracts that will be in effect after the Closing that will be binding on Purchaser. To Seller’s knowledge, Seller has made
true, correct and complete copies of all Service Contracts and Construction Contracts available to
Purchaser pursuant to Section 4.1. From the Effective Date until the Closing, Seller shall not
enter into any new Service Contracts or Construction Contracts that are not cancelable, without
penalty, on thirty (30) days notice, without Purchaser’s written consent, which consent shall not
be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
5.7 Knowledge Defined. References to the “knowledge” of Seller refer only to the actual
knowledge of Olivier Catusse, Xxxxxxx X. XxXxxxxx and L. Xxxx Xxxxx, Xx. (the “Designated
Representatives”), and will not be construed, by imputation or otherwise, to refer to the
knowledge of Seller, or any affiliate of Seller, to Manager, or to any other officer, agent,
manager, representative, advisor, or employee of Seller or any affiliate thereof or to impose upon
such designated individual any duty to investigate the matter to which such actual knowledge, or
the absence thereof, pertains. Purchaser hereby acknowledges and agrees that no Designated
Representative shall have any personal liability or responsibility whatsoever with respect to
Seller’s representations and warranties hereunder by reason of his or her designation as a
Designated Representative, and no alleged breach of any representation or warranty or any claim
whatsoever shall at any time be asserted or enforceable against any one or more of the Designated
Representatives.
5.8 Survival of Seller’s Representations and Warranties. The representations and
warranties of Seller set forth in this Article 5, as updated by the certificate of Seller to be
delivered to Purchaser at Closing in accordance with Article 9 hereof, will survive Closing until
September 29, 2006. No claim for a breach of any representation or warranty of Seller will be
actionable or payable (a) if the breach in question results from or is based on a condition, state
of facts or other matter which was known to Purchaser prior to Closing, (b) unless the valid claims
for all such breaches collectively aggregate more than One Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars
($150,000), in which event the full amount of such valid claims will be actionable, up to but not
exceeding the amount of the Liability Cap (as defined below), and (c) unless written notice
containing a description of the specific nature of such breach will have been given by Purchaser to
Seller on or before September 29, 2006 and an action will have been commenced by Purchaser against
Seller on or before October 29, 2006. Purchaser agrees to first seek recovery under any insurance
policies, service contracts and Leases prior to seeking recovery from Seller, and Seller will not
be liable to Purchaser if Purchaser’s claim is satisfied from such insurance policies, service
contracts or Leases. As used herein, the term “Liability Cap” will mean the total
aggregate amount of Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000). In no event will Seller’s aggregate
liability to Purchaser for breach of any representation or warranty of Seller in this Agreement
exceed the amount of the Liability Cap.
ARTICLE 6
Purchaser’s warranties and representations
6.1 Intentionally Omitted.
6.2 Purchaser’s Authority, Etc. Purchaser has the full right, power and authority to purchase
the Property as provided in this Agreement and to carry out Purchaser’s obligations

Purchaser without the joinder or cosignature of any other person.
6.3 No Litigation. There is no action, suit, arbitration, unsatisfied order or judgment,
government investigation or proceeding pending against Purchaser which, if adversely determined,
could individually or in the aggregate interfere with the consummation of the transaction
contemplated by this Agreement.
6.4 Sophisticated Investor. Purchaser is a Delaware limited partnership that specializes in
the investment in and ownership and operation of income producing commercial real estate in
geographically diverse markets. As such, it is a sophisticated real estate owner, investor and
manager with particular experience in the acquisition, ownership and operations of properties
similar to the Property. Purchaser further warrants and represents that it has the ability
through its own employees, or through agents, independent contractors, consultants or other experts
with whom it has a relationship, to evaluate fully the investment characteristics of the Property
and to assess fully all issues pertaining to title to the Property, the assumption by Purchaser of
the Leases, Service Contracts and Construction Contracts, the value of the Property, the ability of
Purchaser to obtain financing, the physical and environmental condition of the Property, and the
compliance of the Property and the operation thereof with all applicable laws, rules, and
regulations of any and all governmental agencies having jurisdiction with respect thereto, and the
past and future economic performance of the Property. Accordingly, Purchaser warrants and
represents that except for the express warranties and representations made by Seller in Article 5
hereof and as contained in the documents and instruments executed and delivered by Seller at
Closing, Purchaser has not relied and will not rely upon any warranty, representation, statement of
fact, or other information made by or furnished on behalf of Seller or any of its employees,
affiliates, agents, Manager, investment advisor, consultants, contractors, or others, but is
relying solely upon its own investigations, assessments, evaluations, and those of its own
employees, agents, independent contractors, consultants, investment advisors and other experts with
whom it is dealing in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(2) | will transfer or permit the transfer of any controlling interest in Purchaser to any person or entity who is, or any of whose beneficial owners are, listed on the Lists. |
(b) Purchaser hereby covenants and agrees that if Purchaser obtains knowledge that Purchaser
or any owner of any controlling interest in Purchaser becomes listed on the Lists or is indicted,
arraigned, or custodially detained on charges involving money laundering or predicate crimes to
money laundering, Purchaser will immediately notify Seller in writing, and in such event, Seller
will have the right to terminate this Agreement without penalty or liability to Seller immediately
upon delivery of written notice thereof to Purchaser, in which event the Xxxxxxx Money will
promptly be returned to Purchaser and neither party will have any further rights or obligations
under this Agreement, except for such as specifically survive termination.
6.6 Survival of Purchaser’s Representations and Warranties. The representations and
warranties of Purchaser set forth in this Agreement will survive Closing and will be a continuing
representation and warranty without limitation.
ARTICLE 7
Covenants and Executory Agreements Pending Closing
7.1 Purchaser’s Due Diligence. Purchaser hereby covenants and agrees with Seller that
Purchaser will diligently discharge its obligations set forth in Article 4 with respect to its
inspection and evaluation of all aspects of the Property and it will keep Seller informed with
respect to the progress of such inspection and evaluation and, if requested by Seller, will furnish
Seller promptly with any and all studies, reports and other information obtained from Third-Party
Consultants with respect to the physical and environmental condition of the Property.
7.2 Operations Pending Closing. From and after the Effective Date and continuing through
Closing, (a) Seller will use commercially reasonable efforts to operate and maintain the Property
in a manner generally consistent with the manner in which Seller has operated and maintained the
Property prior to the Effective Date and (b) Seller shall not intentionally execute and record any
documents in the real property records which result in any liens or other encumbrances on the
Property which are not released on or prior to Closing.
7.3 New Leases. Seller will deliver to Purchaser any new Leases or any renewals, expansions,
or modifications of existing Leases that Seller wishes to execute between the Effective Date and
Closing (a “Proposed Lease Transaction”). Seller’s notice of a Proposed Lease Transaction
will include a description of all payments, costs and expenses required to be paid by the landlord
pursuant to the Proposed Lease Transaction, including, without limitation, tenant improvement
costs, lease buyout costs, reimbursement of tenant’s moving expenses and other out of pocket costs,
design, refurbishment and club allowances, and the economic burden of any free or reduced rent (the
“Tenant Inducement Costs”) and the form of the proposed Lease. Purchaser agrees that it
will promptly review such Proposed Lease Transaction within five (5) days after receipt of notice
of the Proposed Lease Transaction from Seller. A failure to provide notice of disapproval within
such five (5)-day period will be deemed to constitute approval by Purchaser for all purposes,
including, without limitation, approval of the Tenant Inducement Costs. At Closing, Tenant
Inducement Costs with respect to approved or deemed approved
14
Proposed Lease Transactions will be
assumed by Purchaser, and to the extent previously paid by Seller, they will be credited to the
account of and paid to Seller at Closing. In the event Purchaser disapproves of any Proposed Lease
Transaction, prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period and Seller, upon notice to Purchaser
before the end of the Inspection Period,elects otherwise to proceed with the Proposed Lease Transaction, then Purchaser may at its
option elect either: (a) to accept the Proposed Lease Transaction and proceed with the transaction
described in this Agreement, or (b) to terminate this Agreement before the end of the Inspection
Period, in which case the Xxxxxxx Money will be refunded in full to Purchaser and thereupon this
Agreement will be null and void and of no further force and effect whatsoever, except for the terms
of this Agreement which expressly survive termination by Purchaser; provided, however, Seller may
condition the refund of the Xxxxxxx Money upon the execution and delivery by Purchaser to Seller of
an instrument in recordable form that disclaims any and all continuing right, title and interest in
and to the Property, and if requested by Seller upon the delivery to Seller of the reports and
studies referred to in Section 4.4 and any survey obtained by Purchaser. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, all Proposed Lease Transactions that are proposed after the expiration of the Inspection
Period require the approval of Purchaser, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.
7.4 Withholding. Prior to Closing, Seller intends to file a Form 0000-X, XXXXXX Withholding
Certificate (the “FIRPTA Certificate”) in the form required by the Internal Revenue
Service, a copy of which shall be provided to Purchaser. The FIRPTA Certificate will indicate the
taxable gain, if any, that Seller will recognize upon the sale of the Property to Purchaser and the
tax liability amount required to be paid to the Internal Revenue Service in connection therewith
(the “Certificate Tax Amount”). Pursuant to Section 4.01 of Revenue Procedure 2000-35,
2000-2 CB 211 (August 9, 2000) and the filing of such FIRPTA Certificate with the Internal Revenue
Service prior to the date of sale, Purchaser is required to withhold from the sales proceeds ten
percent (10%) of the gross sales proceeds derived from the sale of the Property, but is not
required to pay such withheld amounts to the Internal Revenue Service pending approval of said
FIRPTA Certificates by the Internal Revenue Service. Accordingly, Seller and Purchaser agree that
Purchaser shall withhold ten percent (10%) of the gross sales proceeds (the “Escrowed
Funds”), from the Purchase Price and pay the Escrowed Funds to, at Seller’s election, either
King & Spalding LLP or the Title Company, acting as withholding escrow agent (“Withholding
Escrow Agent”) to hold pending approval of the FIRPTA Certificate by the Internal Revenue
Service. Upon such approval of the FIRPTA Certificate by the Internal Revenue Service, Seller and
Purchaser shall direct Withholding Escrow Agent to apply the Escrowed Funds to pay such approved
tax liability (the “Final Tax Liability”) within twenty (20) days after such approval. If
the Final Tax Liability is greater than the Escrowed Funds, then Seller shall promptly pay such
deficiency to the Withholding Escrow Agent for payment to the Internal Revenue Service. If the
Final Tax Liability is less than the Escrowed Funds, then the Withholding Agent shall promptly pay
the excess to Seller, together with the interest or income earned on the Escrowed Funds. It is
anticipated that the Final Tax Liability will equal the Certificate Tax Amount. Seller shall file
or cause to be filed any and all tax returns, information returns or any other required filings in
connection with the transfer on or before the due date of such returns with the Internal Revenue
Service and timely pay any and all tax liabilities associated therewith. Seller hereby agrees to
hold Purchaser harmless from and against any and all losses, liabilities, claims, damages, costs
and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees, interest and penalties) incurred or realized by
Purchaser and relating to the payment to the Internal Revenue Service of any such withholding
15
tax
due upon the sale of the Property by Seller to Purchaser, which obligation shall not be limited by
time or amount pursuant to Section 14.18 hereof. Each of Seller and Purchaser agrees to execute
and deliver at the Closing an escrow agreement with Withholding Escrow Agent that reflects the
provisions of this Section 7.4 in the form attached hereto as Exhibit M (the
“Withholding Escrow Agreement”). Such escrow agreement shall provide for the
investment of the Escrowed Funds in designated investments or accounts available to the Withholding
Escrow Agent and approved by Seller, and all interest or other income earned thereon shall be added
to and deemed a part of the Escrowed Funds. Seller will pay all costs and expenses relating to the
escrow account established pursuant to this Section 7.4. In the event that a FIRPTA Certificate is
not filed in accordance with this Section 7.4 prior to Closing, Purchaser shall withhold ten
percent (10%) of the gross sales proceeds from the Purchase Price and remit such amount to the
Internal Revenue Service in accordance with its obligations set forth in Section 1445 of the
Internal Revenue Code. In addition, if at any time Purchaser believes that it is required by
applicable law to deliver the Escrowed Funds to the Internal Revenue Service, Purchaser shall have
the authority to instruct the Withholding Escrow Agent to pay the Escrowed Funds to the Internal
Revenue Service; provided, however, prior to giving any such instruction to the Withholding Escrow
Agent, Purchaser shall give not less than five (5) days prior notice to Seller of its intent to so
instruct the Withholding Escrow Agent and shall discuss in good faith with Seller its position
prior to giving such instruction.
ARTICLE 8
Conditions to Closing
Conditions to Closing
8.1 Conditions to Purchaser’s Obligations. Purchaser’s obligation to close the purchase and
sale of the Property is conditioned upon each and every one of the following conditions precedent,
and in the event any of the conditions set forth below has not been fully satisfied on or before
the Closing, then Purchaser shall have the right, in its discretion, to terminate this Agreement by
notice to Seller, whereupon this Agreement shall terminate, the Xxxxxxx Money shall be returned to
Purchaser, and Seller and Purchaser shall have no further obligations hereunder except for any
obligations which expressly survive the termination of this Agreement:
(a) Seller has performed and observed in all material respects all covenants and agreements to
be performed by Seller under this Agreement;
(b) all of the representations and warranties of Seller contained in this Agreement are true
and correct in all material respects as of the date of Closing; and
(c) issuance of the owner’s policy of title insurance in the form shown by the Title
Commitment, but including extended coverage (the “Owner’s Policy”), and including the pro
forma endorsements attached thereto in the full amount of the Purchase Price.
16
8.2 Conditions to Seller’s Obligations. Seller’s obligation to close the purchase and sale of
the Property is conditioned upon each and every one of the following conditions precedent:
(a) Purchaser has performed and observed in all material respects all covenants and agreements
to be performed by Purchaser under this Agreement; and
(b) all of the representations and warranties of Purchaser contained in this Agreement are
true and correct in all material respects as of the date of Closing.
8.3 Tenant Estoppel Certificates. Seller and Purchaser acknowledge that, prior to the
Effective Date hereof, Seller has provided to Purchaser, and Purchaser has reviewed and approved,
the forms of the tenant estoppels (the “Tenant Estoppel Certificates”), which are in
substantially the same form received by Seller at the time it purchased the Property, certified to
Purchaser and its lender. After the Effective Date, Seller shall promptly deliver the Tenant
Estoppel Certificates to all of the tenants at the Property. Purchaser’s obligations under this
Agreement are conditioned upon Purchaser receiving Conforming Tenant Estoppel Certificates (as
defined below) dated no more than thirty (30) days prior to Closing from tenants Xxxxxxx Xxxx,
Nuveen and Barack Xxxxxxxxxx (the “Major Tenants”), plus such other tenants that, taken
together with the Major Tenants, occupy seventy-five percent (75%) of the leased space at the
Property (collectively, the “Minimum Required Estoppels”). In addition, Seller shall use
commercially reasonable efforts to obtain and deliver to Purchaser a Conforming Tenant Estoppel
Certificate from each tenant at the Property, provided that delivery of a Conforming Tenant
Estoppel Certificate from tenants in excess of the Minimum Required Estoppels shall not be a
condition to Closing. As used in this Agreement, the term “Conforming Tenant Estoppel
Certificate” means any Tenant Estoppel Certificate that is delivered to Purchaser in the form
approved by Purchaser pursuant to this Section 8.3 (or (a) if a tenant’s Lease specifies another
form of tenant estoppel certificate, then such other specified form, or (b) if a tenant’s Lease
requires less information than that contained the approved form, then a Tenant Estoppel Certificate
containing only the information required in such tenant’s Lease), which does not contain any
modification or addition that is materially adverse to Purchaser and which does not reveal any
default under the affected lease, any condition which with notice and the passage of time would
constitute a default under the affected lease, or a material adverse discrepancy between the
information set forth in this Agreement or the Information Documents, including the Leases. Any
Tenant Estoppel Certificate which is not a Conforming Tenant Estoppel Certificate, but which is not
expressly disapproved by Purchaser in writing within five (5) business days of receipt thereof by
Purchaser, will also constitute a Conforming Tenant Estoppel Certificate. In the event that Seller
is unable to deliver the Minimum Required Estoppels, Seller may, at its option, deliver a seller
estoppel in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit R (each, a “Seller
Estoppel”) for any one or more tenants of Seller’s choosing in order to achieve the required
threshold; provided, however, Seller shall not be permitted to deliver a Seller Estoppel for any of
the Major Tenants. In the event that Seller provides one or more Seller Estoppels, each such
estoppel will become null and void and of no further force and effect if, at any time after the
delivery of such Seller Estoppel, Seller receives and delivers to Purchaser either (y) a Conforming
Tenant Estoppel Certificate for said tenant or (z) Conforming Tenant Estoppel Certificates for any
other tenants which result in Seller meeting its seventy-five percent (75%) Minimum Required
Estoppels threshold. In the event that Seller fails to deliver on or before
17
Closing (i) the
Minimum Required Estoppels and (ii) substitute Seller Estoppels for one or more tenants
(other than Major Tenants) in order to achieve such required threshold, then Purchaser’s sole and
exclusive remedy with respect to such failure will be to terminate this Agreement, in which case
the Xxxxxxx Money will be refunded in full to Purchaser and thereupon this Agreement will be null
and void and of no further force and effect whatsoever, except for the terms of this Agreement
which expressly survive termination of this Agreement by Purchaser; provided, however, Seller may
condition the refund of the Xxxxxxx Money upon the execution and delivery by Purchaser to Seller of
an instrument in recordable form that disclaims any and all
continuing right, title and interest in and to the Property, and upon the delivery to Seller
of the reports and studies referred to in Section 4.4 and any survey obtained by Purchaser.

9.4 Credits and Prorations.
(a) The following will be apportioned with respect to the Property as of 12:01 a.m. (local
time at the Property), on the day of Closing, as if Purchaser were vested with title to the
Property during the entire day upon which Closing occurs:
(i) rents, if any, as and when collected (the term “rents” as used in this Agreement includes
all payments due and payable by Tenants under the Leases);
(ii) taxes (including personal property taxes on the Personal Property) and assessments levied
against the Property as provided in Section 9.4(b)(ii);
(iii) amounts due under the Service Contracts;
(iv) the cost of fuel stored on the Property, and gas, water, electricity and other utility
charges for which Seller is liable, if any, such charges to be apportioned at Closing on the basis
of the last invoices preceding closing and adjusted post-closing to true-up the proration and
adjustments based on the amounts shown on the invoices subsequently received; and
(v) any other operating expenses, pre-paid expenses, or other items pertaining to the Property
which are customarily prorated between a purchaser and a seller in the area in which the Property
is located.
(b) Notwithstanding anything contained in the foregoing provisions:
(i) At Closing, (A) Seller will, at Seller’s option, either deliver to Purchaser any security
deposits actually held by Seller pursuant to the Leases or credit to the account of Purchaser the
amount of such security deposits (to the extent such security deposits are not applied against
delinquent rents or otherwise as provided in the Leases), and (B) Purchaser will credit to the
account of Seller all refundable cash or other deposits posted with utility companies serving the
Property, or, at Seller’s option, Seller will be entitled to receive and retain such refundable
cash and deposits;
21
(ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Purchaser acknowledges that only real
estate taxes and assessments (“Illinois Real Estate Taxes”) for calendar year 2005, which
are payable in 2006, are being prorated hereunder, and no proration is being made for 2006 Illinois
Real Estate Taxes payable in 2007. Seller shall be responsible for 2005 Illinois Real Estate Taxes
corresponding to the number of days between January 1, 2006 and the Closing Date. Seller has paid
the first estimated installment of 2005 Illinois Real Estate Taxes due March 1, 2006, and will
receive a credit therefor at Closing for the period from the Closing Date through June 30, 2006.
Purchaser shall be responsible for the payment of the second installment of 2005 Illinois Real
Estate Taxes payable in 2006 and the 2006 Illinois Real Estate Taxes payable in 2007. If the final
tax xxxx for the 2005 Illinois Real Estate Taxes payable in 2006 has not been issued as of Closing,
the proration of Illinois Real Estate Taxes hereunder shall be
reasonably estimated based on the 2004 Illinois Real Estate Taxes paid in 2005. To the extent
that the actual 2005 Illinois Real Estate Taxes differ from the 2004 amount on which the proration
was based, Seller and Purchaser agree to reprorate such 2005 Illinois Real Estate Taxes within
thirty (30) days of receipt of the actual tax xxxx applicable to such period. Any additional taxes
(i.e., other than general real estate taxes) relating to the year of Closing or prior years arising
out of a change in the use of the Land or the Improvements by Purchaser or a change in ownership
will be assumed by Purchaser effective as of Closing and paid by Purchaser when due and payable,
and Purchaser will indemnify, defend, and hold Seller harmless for, from, and against any and all
such taxes, which indemnification obligation will survive the Closing, provided that the foregoing
shall have no effect on the proration of Illinois Real Estate Taxes as described above. When the
amount of such taxes is finally ascertained, any further adjustment will be promptly made between
the parties in cash. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller will not be liable for any taxes to the
extent that reimbursement of such taxes is payable by a Tenant under a Lease;
(iii) Charges referred to in this Section 9.4 which are payable by any Tenant to a Third-Party
will not be apportioned hereunder, and Purchaser will accept title subject to any of such charges
unpaid and Purchaser will look solely to the Tenant responsible therefor for the payment of the
same. If Seller shall have paid any of such charges on behalf of any Tenant, and shall not have
been reimbursed therefor by the time of Closing, upon payment by such Tenant to Purchaser,
Purchaser will pay to Seller an amount equal to all such charges so paid by Seller. Seller will
provide a list to Purchaser of all such charges paid by Seller within ten (10) days after the
Effective Date;
(iv) Seller will receive the entire advantage of any discounts for the prepayment by it of any
taxes, water rates or sewer rents;
(v) As to gas, electricity and other utility charges referred to in Section 9.4(a)(iv) above,
Seller may on notice to Purchaser elect to pay one or more of all of said items accrued to the date
hereinabove fixed for apportionment directly to the person or entity entitled thereto, and to the
extent Seller so elects, such item will not be apportioned hereunder, and Seller’s obligation to
pay such item directly in such case will survive the Closing, provided that Seller provides
Purchaser with evidence of payment within two (2) business days after the date of such payment;
22
(vi) The Personal Property is included in this sale, without further charge; provided,
however, Purchaser will be solely responsible for all sales and use taxes;
(vii) Seller shall be responsible for the payment of only those Tenant Inducement Costs and
leasing commissions that are identified on Schedule 9.4(b) attached hereto. To the extent
that any such items identified on Schedule 9.4(b) remain unpaid as of Closing, Purchaser
shall receive a credit against the Purchase Price for the unpaid balance of all such items, and
Purchaser shall then be responsible for the payment of all such items from and after Closing.
Except as otherwise listed on Schedule 9.4(b), Purchaser shall be responsible for the
payment of (A) all Tenant Inducement Costs and leasing commissions which become due and payable
(whether before or after Closing) (1) as a result of any renewals or expansions of existing Leases,
to the extent the renewal term or term with respect to the expansion space
commences after the Effective Date hereof, and (2) under any new Leases entered into by Seller
and approved by Purchaser between the Effective Date and the Closing Date as provided in Section
7.3 hereof and (B) all Tenant Inducement Costs and leasing commissions which become due and payable
from and after the Closing Date with respect to all existing Leases, including, without limitation,
any such commissions arising out of continuing obligations under the leasing agreements
(notwithstanding the termination thereof) set forth on Exhibit S. If, as of the Closing Date,
Seller shall have paid any Tenant Inducement Costs or leasing commissions for which Purchaser is
responsible pursuant to the foregoing provisions, Purchaser shall reimburse Seller therefor at
Closing. As set forth in Schedule 9.4(b), Purchaser shall receive a fixed and agreed
credit against the Purchase Price of $546,000.00 with respect to contingencies related to the
renewal and expansion of the Lease with Barack Xxxxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxxxx Xxxxxxx & Xxxxxxxxx;
provided, however, Seller makes no representation or warranty with respect to such renewal and
expansion and said agreed and fixed credit shall apply, without adjustment, regardless of the
outcome of the negotiations of such renewal and expansion (or any failure to reach an agreement) or
the ultimate terms of any agreement. Except for the $12,248.88 credit against the Purchase Price
for free rent under the Xxxxxx Xxxx Lease as set forth in Schedule 9.4(b), Purchaser shall
not be entitled to any credits against the Purchase Price in connection with, and Seller shall have
no liability to Purchaser for any period of free, reduced or abated rent under any Lease from and
after the Effective Date;
(viii) Unpaid and delinquent rent collected by Seller and Purchaser after the date of Closing
will be delivered as follows: (a) if Seller collects any unpaid or delinquent rent for the
Property, Seller will, within fifteen (15) days after the receipt thereof, deliver to Purchaser any
such rent which Purchaser is entitled to hereunder relating to the date of Closing and any period
thereafter, and (b) if Purchaser collects any unpaid or delinquent rent from the Property,
Purchaser will, within fifteen (15) days after the receipt thereof, deliver to Seller any such rent
which Seller is entitled to hereunder relating to the period prior to the date of Closing. Seller
and Purchaser agree that all rent received by Seller or Purchaser will be applied first to rents
that became due and payable after Closing, and second, to those which were due and payable prior to
Closing, in reverse order of maturity. Purchaser will make a good faith effort after Closing to
collect all rents in the usual course of Purchaser’s operation of the Property, but Purchaser will
not be obligated to institute any lawsuit or other collection procedures to collect delinquent
rents. In the event that there shall be any rents or other charges under any Leases which,
although relating to a period prior to Closing, do not become due and payable until after Closing
or are paid prior to Closing but are subject to adjustment after Closing (such as year end common
area
23
expense reimbursements and the like), then any rents or charges of such type received by
Purchaser or its agents or Seller or its agents subsequent to Closing will, to the extent
applicable to a period extending through the Closing, be prorated between Seller and Purchaser as
of Closing and Seller’s portion thereof will be remitted promptly to Seller by Purchaser without
reduction for any costs of collection or processing; and
(ix) Purchaser shall be entitled to a $100,000.00 agreed upon and fixed credit against the
Purchase Price for the repair of the steel beams as described on Schedule 9.4(b), for which
no construction contract has been entered into by Seller and a contractor. From and after Closing,
Purchaser shall be solely responsible for the cost of such capital projects regardless of whether
the cost of such projects exceeds the amount of the credit set forth on Schedule 9.4(b).
(c) If the annual reconciliation of Tenant pass-throughs for the 2006 calendar year results in
there being amounts due and payable by the Tenants, Purchaser will collect such amounts and pay
over to Seller the portion of such amounts attributable to Seller’s period of ownership of the
Property in 2006 no later than April 30, 2007. If such reconciliation results in there being
refunds due and payable to Tenants on account of the pass through of specifically designated
expenses incurred during Seller’s period of ownership, Seller will pay to Purchaser the portion of
any such documented pass-through of expenses attributable to Seller’s period of ownership of the
Property in 2006 promptly upon receipt of a written request therefor from Purchaser, which request
shall be delivered to Seller no later than April 30, 2007, and whereupon Purchaser will promptly
disburse the appropriate refunds to the Tenants.
(d) With respect to operating expense recoveries billed for calendar year 2005 and before,
Seller and Purchaser agree that Seller shall be solely responsible for reimbursing Tenants for
amounts attributable to operating expense recoveries billed for such calendar years, as may be
necessary based on annual reconciliations for operating expense recoveries for such calendar years,
and Seller agrees to promptly make such payments to Tenants in accordance with the Leases.
(e) Either party shall be entitled to a post-Closing adjustment for any incorrect proration or
adjustment provided written notice thereof is given to the other party within one hundred eighty
(180) days of Closing, except with respect to taxes and Tenant pass-through expenses, for which
written notice must be given no later than June 30, 2007.
(f) The provisions of this Section 9.4 will survive the Closing.
9.5 Closing Costs. Seller will be responsible for (a) state and county transfer taxes and (b)
the cost of the Owner’s Policy which Seller has expressly agreed to cause the Title Insurer to
issue pursuant to Section 9.2(m). Purchaser will be responsible for the costs of (v) City of
Chicago transfer taxes, (w) any upgrades to the Owner’s Policy or additional endorsements not set
forth in the Title Commitment and any reinsurance or coinsurance, (x) any further update of the
Existing Survey or Updated Survey, or any new survey, (y) the costs relating to any financing,
including without limitation any mortgage taxes and any additional costs for a Loan Policy of Title
Insurance (provided that availability of financing will not be a condition precedent to Closing),
and (z) any recording costs. Seller and Purchaser will each pay the fees of their respective
attorneys’ incurred in connection with this transaction.

Default
Default
10.1 Default by Purchaser. If Purchaser defaults and fails to consummate this Agreement for
any reason other than Seller’s default or the permitted termination of this Agreement by either
Seller or Purchaser as herein expressly provided, Seller will be entitled, as its sole and
exclusive remedy, to terminate this Agreement and receive the Xxxxxxx Money as liquidated damages
for the breach of this Agreement, it being agreed between the parties hereto that the actual
damages to Seller in the event of such breach are impractical to ascertain and the amount of the
Xxxxxxx Money is a reasonable estimate thereof. Nothing contained in this Agreement, however, will
limit, restrict or impair the liability of Purchaser under any indemnity
provided by Purchaser under this Agreement or under any of the documents and instruments
executed and delivered to Seller pursuant to the terms and conditions hereof.
10.2 Default by Seller. In the event Seller fails to consummate this Agreement for any reason
other than Purchaser’s default or the permitted termination of this Agreement by Seller or
Purchaser as herein expressly provided, Purchaser’s sole remedy will be either (a) to receive the
return of the Xxxxxxx Money, together with its documented direct costs and expenses incurred in
connection with its inspection of the Property and negotiations of the transaction contemplated by
this Agreement, not to exceed $50,000, which return will operate to terminate this Agreement and
release Seller from any and all liability hereunder, or (b) to bring a suit for specific
performance, provided that any suit for specific performance must be brought within 90 days of
Seller’s default, to the extent permitted by law, Purchaser waiving the right to bring suit at any
later date. Purchaser agrees not to file a lis pendens or other similar notice against the
Property except in connection with, and after the proper filing of a suit for specific performance.
10.3 Notice and Cure. Neither Seller nor Purchaser will be deemed to be in default hereunder
until and unless such party has been given written notice of its failure to comply with the terms
hereof and thereafter does not cure such failure within thirty (30) business days after receipt of
such notice; provided, however, that this Section 10.3 will not be applicable to a Purchaser’s
failure to deposit the Xxxxxxx Money on the date required hereunder or to a party’s failure to make
any deliveries or payments required of such party on the Closing Date. The Closing Date will be
automatically extended, if necessary, to provide such thirty (30)-day cure period.
ARTICLE 11
Risk of Loss
Risk of Loss
11.1 Minor Damage. In the event of loss or damage to the Property or any portion thereof
which is not “major” (as hereinafter defined), this Agreement will remain in full force and effect
provided Seller performs any necessary repairs or, at Seller’s option, assigns to Purchaser all of
Seller’s right, title and interest to any claims and proceeds Seller may have with respect to any
casualty insurance policies or condemnation awards relating to the premises in question. Seller
agrees to maintain the insurance currently in place with respect to the Property during the term of
this Agreement. In the event that Seller elects to perform repairs upon the Property, Seller will
use reasonable efforts to complete such repairs promptly and the date of Closing will be extended a
reasonable time (but not more than thirty (30) days) in order to allow
25
for the completion of such
repairs. If Seller elects to assign a casualty claim to Purchaser, the Purchase Price will be
reduced by an amount equal to the deductible amount under Seller’s insurance policy. Upon Closing,
full risk of loss with respect to the Property will pass to Purchaser.
11.2 Major Damage. In the event of a “major” loss or damage, either Seller or Purchaser may
terminate this Agreement by written notice to the other party, in which event the Xxxxxxx Money
will be returned to Purchaser. If neither Seller nor Purchaser elects to terminate this Agreement
within ten (10) days after Seller sends Purchaser written notice of the occurrence of major loss or
damage, then Seller and Purchaser will be deemed to have elected to proceed with Closing, in which
event Seller will, at Seller’s option, either (a) perform any necessary
repairs, or (b) assign to Purchaser all of Seller’s right, title and interest to any claims
and proceeds Seller may have with respect to any casualty insurance policies or condemnation awards
relating to the portion of the Property in question. In the event that Seller elects to perform
repairs upon the Property, Seller will use reasonable efforts to complete such repairs promptly and
the date of Closing will be extended for a reasonable period of time not to exceed one hundred
twenty (120) days in order to allow for the completion of such repairs. If Seller elects to assign
a casualty claim to Purchaser, the Purchase Price will be reduced by an amount equal to the
deductible amount under Seller’s insurance policy. Upon Closing, full risk of loss with respect to
the Property will pass to Purchaser.
11.3 Definition of “Major” Loss or Damage. For purposes of Sections 11.1 and 11.2, “major”
loss or damage refers to the following: (i) loss or damage to the Property or any portion thereof
such that the cost of repairing or restoring the portion of the Property in question to a condition
substantially identical to that of the premises in question prior to the event of damage would be,
in the opinion of an architect selected by Seller and reasonably approved by Purchaser, equal to or
greater than Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000), (ii) loss or damage constituting a basis for any
Major Tenant to terminate its Lease (unless such right to terminate is waived or not timely
exercised) and (iii) any loss due to a condemnation which permanently and materially impairs the
current use of the Property. If Purchaser does not give notice to Seller of Purchaser’s reasons
for disapproving an architect within ten (10) business days after receipt of notice of the proposed
architect, Purchaser will be deemed to have approved the architect selected by Seller.

in the first sentence of this Article 12, Purchaser and Seller represent to the other that no real
estate brokers, agents or finder’s fees or commissions are due or will be due or arise in
conjunction with the execution of this Agreement or consummation of this transaction by reason of
the acts of such party. Each party agrees that should any claim be made for brokerage commissions
or finder’s fees by any broker or finder other than the Broker by, through or on account of any
acts of said party or its representatives, said party will be responsible for and reimburse the
other party for any and all loss, liability, cost, damage and expense in connection therewith

13.1 Escrow Agent. The Title Insurer has agreed to act as escrow agent for the convenience of
the parties without fee or other charges for such services as escrow agent. The Title Insurer will
not be liable: (i) to any of the parties for any act or omission to act except for its own gross
negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct; (ii) for any legal effect, insufficiency, or
undesirability of any instrument deposited with or delivered by the Title Insurer or exchanged by
the parties hereunder, whether or not the Title Insurer prepared such instrument (except for the
title commitment and title policy); (iii) for any loss or impairment of funds that have been
deposited in escrow while those funds are in the course of collection, or while those funds
are on deposit in a financial institution, if such loss or impairment results from the failure,
insolvency or suspension of a financial institution, unless the Title Insurer fails to move such
funds to another financial institution in accordance with joint written instructions from Seller
and Purchaser to the Title Insurer; (iv) for the expiration of any time limit or other consequence
of delay, unless a properly executed written instruction, accepted by the Title Insurer, has

Money or any other monies held in escrow, the Title Insurer will give written notice to all parties
advising same that, in the absence of written instructions signed by both Purchaser and Seller
received within the next ten (10) days, the Title Insurer may interplead the Xxxxxxx Money by
filing an interpleader action in the applicable court of the county in which the Property is
located (to the jurisdiction of which both parties hereby consent) or may continue to hold the
Xxxxxxx Money and take no action until the Title Insurer receives such joint written instructions
or an order of a court as to the disposition of same. If the Title Insurer receives the aforesaid
written instructions, it will continue to hold the Xxxxxxx Money pursuant to such written
instructions. If the Title Insurer does not receive the aforesaid written instructions, it may pay
into the registry of the court the Xxxxxxx Money and any other monies held in escrow or may
27
continue to hold the Xxxxxxx Money and take no action until the Title Insurer receives such joint
written instructions or an order of a court as to the disposition of same, whereupon the Title
Insurer will be relieved and released from any further liability as escrow agent hereunder. The
Title Insurer will not be liable for the Title Insurer’s compliance with any legal process,
subpoena, writs, orders, judgments and decree of any court, whether issued with or without
jurisdiction, and whether or not subsequently vacated, modified, set aside or reversed.

In the event of a breach or threatened breach by Purchaser or its agents or representatives of
this Section 14.1, Seller will be entitled to an injunction restraining
Purchaser or its agents or representatives from disclosing, in whole or in part, such

14.6 Modifications. This Agreement cannot be changed orally, and no executory agreement will
be effective to waive, change, modify or discharge it in whole or in part unless such executory
agreement is in writing and is signed by the parties against whom enforcement of any waiver,
change, modification or discharge is sought.
14.7 Calculation of Time Periods. Unless otherwise specified, in computing any period of time
described in this Agreement, the day of the act or event after which the designated period of time
begins to run is not to be included and the last day of the period so computed is to be included,
unless such last day is a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday under the laws of the State in which
the Property is located, in which event the period will run until the end of the next day which is
neither a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday. The final day of any such period will be deemed to
end at 5 p.m., Eastern time.
30
14.8 Successors and Assigns. The terms and provisions of this Agreement are to apply to and
bind the permitted successors and assigns of the parties hereto.
14.9 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, including the Exhibits, contains the entire agreement
between the parties pertaining to the subject matter hereof and fully supersedes all prior written
or oral agreements and understandings between the parties pertaining to such subject matter.
14.10 Further Assurances. Each party agrees that it will without further consideration
execute and deliver such other documents and take such other action, whether prior or subsequent to
Closing, as may be reasonably requested by the other party to consummate more effectively the
purposes or subject matter of this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
Purchaser will, if requested by Seller, execute acknowledgments of receipt with respect to any
materials delivered by Seller to Purchaser with respect to the Property. The provisions of this
Section 14.10 will survive Closing.
14.11 Counterparts; Facsimile Signatures. This Agreement may be executed in identical
counterparts, and all such executed counterparts will constitute the same agreement. It will be
necessary to account for only one such counterpart in proving this Agreement. Signatures to this
Agreement transmitted by telecopy, facsimile or electronic mail will be valid and effective to bind
the party so signing. Each party agrees to promptly deliver any execution original to this
Agreement with its actual signature to the other party, but a failure to do so will not affect the
enforceability of this Agreement, it being expressly agreed that each party to this Agreement will
be bound by its own signature sent by telecopy, facsimile or electronic mail and will accept the
signature of the other party so transmitted.
14.12 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement will nonetheless
remain in full force and effect.
14.13 Applicable Law; Jurisdiction. Seller and Purchaser hereby irrevocably (i) agree that
this Agreement will in all respects be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the
State of Illinois and (ii) submit to the jurisdiction of any state or federal court sitting in Xxxx
County, Illinois, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement and
hereby irrevocably agree that all claims in respect of such action or proceeding will be heard and
determined in a state or federal court sitting in Xxxx County. Purchaser and Seller agree that the
provisions of this Section 14.13 will survive the Closing.
14.14 No Third-Party Beneficiary. The provisions of this Agreement and of the documents to be
executed and delivered at Closing are and will be for the benefit of Seller and Purchaser only and
are not for the benefit of any Third-Party, and accordingly, no Third-Party will have the right to
enforce the provisions of this Agreement or of the documents to be executed and delivered at
Closing.
14.15 Captions. The section headings appearing in this Agreement are for convenience of
reference only and are not intended, to any extent and for any purpose, to limit or define the text
of any section or any subsection hereof.
31
14.16 Construction. The parties acknowledge that the parties and their counsel have reviewed
and revised this Agreement and that the normal rule of construction to the effect that any
ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party will not be employed in the
interpretation of this Agreement or any exhibits or amendments hereto.
14.17 Termination of Agreement. It is understood and agreed that if either Purchaser or
Seller terminates this Agreement pursuant to a right of termination granted hereunder, such
termination will operate to relieve Seller and Purchaser from all obligations under this Agreement,
except for such obligations as are specifically stated herein to survive the termination of this
Agreement.
14.18 Exculpation of Seller and Related Parties. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in this Agreement or in any exhibits attached hereto or in any documents executed in
connection herewith, it is expressly understood and agreed by and between the parties hereto that:
(a) the recourse of Purchaser or its successors or assigns against Seller in connection with this
Agreement, including, without limitation, with respect to any alleged act or omission of Seller or
any representative of Seller, any misrepresentation (whether allegedly intentional or
unintentional) by or on behalf of Seller, or any breach by or on the part of Seller of any
representation, warranty, covenant, undertaking, indemnity or agreement contained in this Agreement
or in any of the Seller’s Closing Documents, and any attorneys’ fees provided for under Section
14.20 (collectively, “Seller’s Undertakings”) will not exceed the lesser of (i) the
Liability Cap or (ii) the value of Seller’s interest in the Property as of the Closing Date, and in
any event will not survive Closing beyond September 29, 2006 unless written notice containing a
description of the specific nature of such breach will have been given by Purchaser to Seller on or
before September 29, 2006 and an action will have been commenced by Purchaser against
Seller for said breach on or before October 29, 2006, and (b) no personal liability or
personal responsibility of any sort with respect to any of Seller’s Undertakings or any alleged
breach thereof is assumed by, or will at any time be asserted or enforceable against, Seller or its
affiliates, or against any of the respective shareholders, directors, officers, employees, agents,
advisors, constituent partners, members, beneficiaries, trustees or representatives of Seller or
its affiliates. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (I) the provisions of Section 9.4
that expressly survive for a period beyond September 29, 2006 shall survive until the date
specified, (II) the obligations and indemnities set forth in Section 7.4, the Withholding Escrow
Agreement and Section 9.2(s) shall not be subject to the survival limitation or Liability Cap set
forth in this Section 14.18 and (III) any Seller Estoppel given shall not be subject to the
Liability Cap and shall survive for a period of one (1) year, as more particularly set forth in the
form attached hereto as Exhibit R.
14.19 Time of the Essence. Time is of the essence in this Agreement.
14.20 Attorneys’ Fees. In the event either party files a lawsuit in connection with this
Agreement or any provisions contained herein, then the party that prevails in such action shall be
entitled to recover from the non-prevailing party, in addition to all other remedies or damages, as
limited herein, reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of court incurred in such lawsuit. This
covenant shall survive the Closing or termination of this Agreement.
32
14.21 Like-Kind Exchange. Notwithstanding Section 14.4, Purchaser may consummate the
purchase of the Property as part of a like kind exchange (the “Exchange”) pursuant to
Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and, in
connection therewith and for that sole purpose, may assign its rights under this Agreement, but not
its obligations, to a third party (the “Agent”) that will act as qualified intermediary
pursuant to an assignment that satisfies the requirements of Treasury Regulations Section 1.1031(k)
- 1(g)(4)(v). Seller will reasonably cooperate with Purchaser in that regard, provided that
Purchaser will pay any additional costs that would not otherwise have been incurred by Purchaser or
Seller had Purchaser not consummated its purchase through the Exchange, and in no event will the
Closing or any other requirement under this Agreement be delayed or otherwise affected by the
Exchange. Specifically, but without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Exchange will
not be a condition precedent to Purchaser’s obligation to perform under this Agreement. In
connection with the Exchange, Seller will not (a) have its rights under this Agreement affected or
diminished in any manner, (b) be responsible for compliance with or be deemed to have warranted to
Purchaser that the Exchange in fact complies with Section 1031 of the Code, (c) appear in the chain
of title of any other property, or (d) incur any additional costs or liabilities other than as
expressly set forth in this Agreement. Purchaser will indemnify and hold Seller harmless from and
against any and all costs, liabilities or obligations (including attorney’s fees) arising from the
Exchange, which indemnification agreement will survive the Closing.
14.22 Cooperation with Purchaser’s Auditors and SEC Filing Requirements. Seller shall provide
to Purchaser, or shall cause its property manager to provide to Purchaser (at Purchaser’s expense)
copies of, or shall provide Purchaser access to, such factual information relating to the period of
Seller’s ownership as may be reasonably requested by Purchaser and in the possession or control of
Seller, its property manager or accountants, to enable Purchaser’s auditor (Deloitte & Touche LLP
or any successor auditor selected by Purchaser) to conduct an
audit of the income statements of the Property for the year to date of the year in which the
Closing occurs plus up to the three prior calendar years, excluding any confidential information
described in Section 4.10 hereof; provided, however, Seller shall not be required to provide any
such documentation for any period prior to the date that Seller acquired the Property. Purchaser
shall be responsible for all out-of-pocket costs associated with this audit. Seller shall
reasonably cooperate (at no cost to Seller) with Purchaser’s auditor in the conduct of such audit.
In addition, Seller agrees to provide, or to cause its property manager to provide, to Purchaser’s
auditor a letter of representation in the form attached hereto as Exhibit T (the
“Representation Letter”), and, if requested by such auditor, historical financial
statements for the Property, including income and balance sheet data for the Property, but only to
the extent prepared by or for Seller for the years in which it has owned the Property, whether
required before or after Closing. Without limiting the foregoing, (i) Purchaser or its designated
independent or other auditor may audit Seller’s operating statements of the Property for the period
of Seller’s ownership of the Property, at Purchaser’s expense, and Seller shall provide such
documentation as Purchaser or its auditor may reasonably request in order to complete such audit,
and (ii) Seller shall furnish to Purchaser such financial and other information relating to the
period of Seller’s ownership of the Property as may be reasonably required by Purchaser or any
Affiliate of Purchaser to make any required filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission or
other governmental authority; provided, however, that the foregoing obligations of Seller shall be
limited to providing such information or documentation as relates to the period of Seller’s
ownership of the Property and as may be in the possession of, or reasonably obtainable by, Seller,
its property manager or
33
accountants, at no cost to Seller, and in the format that Seller (or its
property manager or accountants) have maintained such information. Nothing contained in this
Section 14.22 shall expand any representations or warranties of Seller set forth in this Agreement,
and Sell does not make, and expressly disclaims, any representations and warranties to Purchaser
with respect to the information to be provided to the auditor as described in this Section 14.22,
and no such information shall be relied upon by Purchaser. The terms and conditions upon which the
auditor may rely on such information are set forth in the Representation Letter, and Purchaser
shall not be a party to or addressee of the Representation Letter or have any third party or other
rights thereunder.

* | The Contract Amount Awarded above for the Exterior Renovation ($1,660,350) includes the following: (i) an original contract sum with the contractor of $1,478,598 (which Seller believes includes a contingency for change orders of $130,000); (ii) approved change orders resulting in a net increase in the contract sum of $42,883 ($172,883 total change orders less the $130,000 credit included in the original contract price); plus (iii) $138,869 for architectural fees, project management, plumbing and other identified soft costs set forth in the budget. Seller shall provide Purchaser a written statement from the contractor or other evidencing reasonably acceptable to Purchaser establishing that said $130,000 contingency credit for change orders was included in the original contract sum of $1,478,598; provided, however, if Seller is wrong and said $130,000 contingency credit was not included in the original contract sum of $1,478,598, then the Contract Amount Awarded above shall be increased from $1,660,350 to $1,790,350. At the Closing, as provided in Section 9.4(b)(vii), Purchaser shall receive a credit against the Purchase Price for the unpaid balance as of Closing of said amounts due with respect to the Exterior Renovation project. |
