disputes (pending or threatened) with respect to the 1120 Property, the MLCP

tax year, less the reasonable fees and disbursements in connection with such
proceedings, shall be apportioned between the parties as of the date real

whereupon, the Deposit and Buyer"s reasonably documented Transaction Costs (as

warranties contained herein and in Seller"s Documents, if Buyer closes
hereunder, Buyer hereby agrees to accept all of the assets being acquired by
Buyer hereunder, whether realty, personalty or mixed, on an absolutely and
unconditionally "as is" basis at the time of Closing. Notwithstanding the time

MLCP Premises or the ECA Premises or their respective parking areas) is taken
by eminent domain or a notice of any eminent domain proceedings with respect to
the aforesaid or any part thereof is received by the Seller, then Seller shall
within five (5) days thereafter give notice thereof to Buyer and Buyer shall
have the option to (a) complete the purchase hereunder or (b) if such taking,
in Buyer's sole and absolute discretion, adversely affects the Premises or its
current economic viability, terminate this Agreement, in which event the
Deposit shall be immediately refunded to Buyer, and this Agreement shall be
null and void. Buyer shall deliver written notice of its election to the Seller
within two (2) days after the date upon which the Buyer receives written notice
of such eminent domain proceedings. If notice of condemnation is received by
Buyer and it fails to deliver said written notice of its election within said
time period, such failure shall constitute a waiver by Buyer of its right to
terminate this Agreement. If this Agreement is not so terminated, Buyer shall
be entitled to all awards or damages by reason of any exercise of the power of
eminent domain or condemnation with respect to or for the taking of the
Premises or any portion thereof, and until such time as closing has occurred,
or this Agreement terminates. Any negotiation for, or agreement to, and all

warranties were made on the Closing Date, except (i) immaterial variations

Property or (ii) provided Buyer closes, any matter or occurrence within Buyer"s

all of the terms and conditions required by this Agreement to be performed and

Laurel Township. Subject to the provisions of Section 4.7 above, Buyer shall
have received an estoppel certificate from the zoning code enforcement (or
other appropriate) officer of Evesham Township and Mt. Laurel Township,
confirming that no portion of the 1120 Property, the MLCP and the ECA Property
is in violation of any applicable codes, and that each of the foregoing is in
compliance with applicable zoning restrictions.
14.5 Consent of Sun. Seller shall have obtained the
written consent of Sun to the transaction, contemplated by this Agreement in
form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Buyer, and a release of 1120 and
MLCP under the Sun Loans with respect to matters which accrue from and after
Closing. The Buyer shall, at or prior to Closing, execute and deliver such
27
28
assumption agreements and other documents, reasonably acceptable in form and
content to Buyer, required by Sun to effectuate the assumption of the Sun Loan
on the same non-recourse basis as is applicable on the date hereof. At Closing,
Abdelwahabb Sallam ("AS") shall retain all of his obligations under the Master
Lease dated March 15, 1995 (the "Master Lease"), which Master Lease shall be
assigned to Buyer as Master Landlord, provided that the Master Lease shall be

exclusive agent, without fee, commission or other compensation, for the purpose
of procuring the lease renewal of Computer Sciences Corporation ("CSC"). Buyer
shall execute any lease renewal with CSC procured by 1120 so long as the basic
form thereof is consistent with the present CSC lease, and the new business
terms thereof are sufficient to terminate the Master Lease pursuant to the
provisions of the 1120 Debt. Buyer shall not unreasonably withhold its consent
to any other lease renewal with CSC procured by 1120, provided that the Master
Lease remains effective. In the event that CSC does not renew its lease, if
requested by Seller, the Buyer hereby appoints 1120 as the Buyer's sole and
exclusive agent to procure a substitute tenant for such space without fee,
compensation or commission. Buyer shall execute any lease with any such
substitute tenant(s) procured by 1120 or any other party so long as the
provisions thereof are sufficient to terminate the Master Lease pursuant to the
provisions of the 1120 Debt and so long as such new tenant does not create a
conflict with any exclusive use clauses contained in existing leases at such
time. Buyer shall not unreasonably withhold its consent to any other lease
procured by 1120 or any other party, so long as the Master Lease remains
effective. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Buyer
shall be solely responsible for any tenant improvement costs related to the
lease renewal with CSC or any substitute tenant(s), provided that the per share
foot cost thereof shall have been approved by Buyer in advance, such approval
not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The provisions of this Section 14.5
shall survive Closing.
14.6 Tenant Estoppels and Discussions. Seller shall use
its best efforts to deliver to Buyer estoppel certificates in the form
specified by Buyer from Conrail, Lincoln Technical Institute and ISO
Commercial Risk Services, which estoppel certificates shall affirm Seller"s
representations and warranties with respect to such leases as contained in
Section 5 above. Buyer, with R. Xxxxx Xxxxxxx or Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxx, prior to
Closing, shall have had the opportunity to discuss with Fleer Corp., Conrail,
Lincoln Technical Institute and ISO Commercial Risk Services the standard
information to be contained in the above-referenced estoppel certificates and

comports with the representations set forth in Section 5 of this Agreement.
