below .
3. EVIDENCE OF TITLE
-----------------
A. Title Commitment. Seller, at its cost, has obtained and caused to be
delivered to Purchaser a commitment for an ALTA Owner's Extended Coverage
("Extended Coverage" meaning the deletion of the standard printed
exceptions 1-5 and modification of the exception for taxes to cover the
year of closing and subsequent years only) Title Insurance Policy (the
"Title Commitment"), effective within thirty (30) days prior to the date of
this Agreement, in the amount of the Purchase Price, issued by the Chicago,
Illinois National Sales Unit of Chicago Title Insurance Company (the "Title
Insurer"), together with copies of all underlying documents set forth
therein (the "Title Documents"). At Closing, the conveyance of the Property
to Purchaser shall be subject only to those exceptions to title which are
more fully described on attached EXHIBIT B and those exceptions to title
which become Permitted Exceptions pursuant to Section 3(C) below
(collectively, the "Permitted Exceptions").
B. Survey. Seller shall, at its cost, within fifteen (15) days after the
date of this Agreement, obtain and cause to be delivered to Purchaser,
Seller and the Title Insurer, an updated ALTA survey of the Real Property
(the "Survey") prepared by Transystems Corporation (formerly Boyd, Brown,
Stude & Xxxxxxx) and dated a date not more than thirty (30) days prior to
the date of this Agreement. The Survey shall be certified to Purchaser (and
any assignee of Purchaser hereunder, provided Purchaser gives Seller
written notice of such assignee at least five (5) days before Closing),
Seller and Title Insurer. Such certification shall state that the Survey
was prepared in accordance with "Minimum Standard Detail Requirements for
ALTA/ACSM Land Title Survey" jointly established and adopted by ALTA/ACSM
in 1997 and pursuant to the Accuracy Standards (as adopted by ALTA and ACSM
and in effect on the date of such certification) of an "Urban Survey" and
shall include Table A Items 1-4, 6, 7(a), 7(c), 8, 10, 11 and the number of
parking spaces and otherwise contain the survey requirements and be
certified by the surveyor as provided in attached EXHIBIT U.
C. Review of Title Commitment and Survey. If the Title Commitment or
Survey disclose exceptions to title other than the Existing Permitted
Exceptions (as hereinafter defined) (such exceptions to title being
referred to herein as the "Disclosed Exceptions"), then Purchaser shall
have until 4:00 p.m. (Denver, Colorado time) on the seventh (7th) business
day after the date of Purchaser's receipt of the last of the Title
Commitment, the underlying title exception documents and Survey within
which to notify Seller in writing of any such Disclosed Exceptions to which
Purchaser objects. If any additional exceptions to title arise between the
date of the Title Commitment, the Survey and the Closing (such exceptions
to title being referred to herein as the "New Disclosed Exceptions"),
Purchaser shall have five (5) business days after its receipt of notice of
such New Disclosed Exceptions within which to notify Seller in writing of
any such New Disclosed Exceptions to which Purchaser objects; provided, if
such New Disclosed
3
Exceptions (other than Liens, as hereafter defined) arise within five (5)
business days of Closing, Closing shall be extended by five (5) business
days. Any such Disclosed Exceptions and New Disclosed Exceptions not
objected to by Purchaser (except for Liens, as hereafter defined) in
writing as aforesaid shall become "Permitted Exceptions" hereunder. If
Purchaser objects to any such Disclosed Exceptions or New Disclosed
Exceptions, Seller shall notify Purchaser in writing within five (5)
business days after receiving written notice of Purchaser's objections
whether Seller intends to cure such objections. If Seller fails to provide
such written notice within the five (5) business day period, Seller shall
be deemed to have elected not to cure Purchaser's objections to title.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller will have until Closing (but in any
event at least five (5) days after it receives written notice of
Purchaser's objection(s)) to remove such Disclosed Exceptions and/or New
Disclosed Exceptions, which removal may be accomplished by waiver or, with
Purchaser's reasonable approval, endorsement by the Title Insurer. If
Seller (i) fails to, (ii) notifies Purchaser in writing that it is has
elected not to, or (iii) is deemed to have elected not to remove any such
Disclosed Exceptions and/or New Disclosed Exceptions as aforesaid,
Purchaser may, as its sole and exclusive remedy, terminate this Agreement
and obtain a return of the Xxxxxxx Money. If Purchaser does not elect to
terminate this Agreement, Purchaser shall consummate the Closing and accept
title to the Property subject to all such Disclosed Exceptions and/or New
Disclosed Exceptions which have not been removed (in which event, all such
Disclosed Exceptions and New Disclosed Exceptions, together with the
Existing Permitted Exceptions, shall be deemed "Permitted Exceptions"
hereunder). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3,
Seller shall be obligated to remove from title to the Property at Closing,
without any extension of the Closing, the following (collectively, the
"Liens"): (i) any deeds of trust or mortgages granted by Seller, and (ii)
any other liens of a definite or ascertainable amount for work contracted
for by or on behalf of Seller, provided Seller has no reasonable dispute
with respect to the amount due or the work performed. If there is a dispute
with respect to the amount due or the work performed for such Lien, Seller
shall have the ability to extend Closing for ten (10) days in order to
resolve said dispute. If Seller fails to remove the Lien within such ten
(10) day period, Purchaser may, as its sole and exclusive remedy, terminate
this Agreement and obtain a return of the Xxxxxxx Money. If Purchaser does
not terminate the Agreement despite Seller's failure to remove said Lien,
Purchaser shall consummate the Closing and accept title to the Property
subject to such Lien. Purchaser agrees that Seller may use the proceeds of
the Purchase Price for the purpose of removing Liens from the Property at
Closing. Furthermore, the Liens shall not constitute Permitted Exceptions
regardless of whether they are Disclosed Exceptions or New Disclosed
Exceptions or objected to by Purchaser, and Purchaser shall have no
obligation to object to the Liens under Section 3(C).

appropriate) as of the Closing Date, it being understood that for purposes
of prorations and adjustments, Purchaser shall be deemed the owner of the
Property as of 12:00 a.m. on the Closing Date and Seller shall be deemed
the owner of the Property as of 11:59 p.m. on the day prior to the Closing

day before the new Closing Date:
(a) Real estate and personal property taxes and assessments
(initially on the basis of the tax xxxx applying to the period through
Closing, or if such tax xxxx is not available, on the basis of the
most recent ascertainable tax xxxx). Notwithstanding any
6
local custom regarding the proration of taxes and assessments, taxes
and assessments shall be deemed to apply to the fiscal year(s)
described on the most recent tax xxxx, regardless of when such taxes
and assessments are due and payable;
(b) Base rent ("Base Rent") and any other amounts (including
without limitation charges for operating expenses) due under the
Leases paid for the billing period in progress on the Closing Date.
"Receivables," as used in this Agreement, means all rental payments,
expense reimbursements and other monetary obligations of any kind due
and owing or to become due and owing by tenants to Seller with respect
to any period prior to the Closing Date under the Leases. At Closing,
the Closing Statement shall contain a schedule (the "Closing
Delinquency Schedule") of all uncollected Receivables. Purchaser shall
undertake reasonable efforts on behalf of Seller to collect all
Receivables for a period of four (4) months from the Closing Date
(which shall include the submission of monthly invoices and follow-up
invoices), it being agreed that any monies received by Purchaser from
and after the Closing Date from any person liable for any portion of
the Receivables (including, without limitation, payments by tenants
for operating expenses in excess of their estimated payments) shall be
applied as follows: first to any current sums and arrearages owed to
Purchaser (relating to billing periods after the billing period in
progress as of the Closing Date), second to the payment of monies owed
to Seller and Purchaser for the billing period in progress on the
Closing Date, and last to the balance of the Receivables. All monies
received by Purchaser which are to be applied pursuant to the
preceding sentence shall be held in trust by Purchaser for the benefit
of the party entitled thereto and remitted to such party promptly
after receipt in accordance with the preceding sentence.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall retain the sole right to
collect (in such manner as it shall deem appropriate) Receivables due
from tenants who have vacated the Property prior to the Closing Date,
and Purchaser shall not be required to undertake any collection
efforts with respect to those Receivables. If, within four (4) months
following the Closing Date, any of the Receivables to be collected by
Purchaser have not been collected and paid to Seller, then Seller may
undertake its own efforts to collect those Receivables, including the
commencement of litigation and other proceedings (but Seller shall not
seek to evict any tenant or terminate any Lease), and all sums
collected by Seller as a result of such litigation (after payment of
all costs and expenses) shall be applied in full satisfaction of the
applicable Receivables. Purchaser and Seller shall reasonably
cooperate with each other in the collection of Receivables and shall
execute any documents reasonably requested by the other to collect
those Receivables.

or leasing commissions relating to (1) any new leases, or any

accordance with the provisions contained in Section 10(L) below
between the date of this Agreement and prior to the expiration of the
Inspection Period, and (2) New Leases executed during the period
between the expiration of the Inspection Period and Closing with the
consent of Purchaser granted (or deemed to be granted) in accordance
with Section 10(L) below, Seller and Purchaser agree that such tenant
improvement costs, allowances and leasing commissions shall be
prorated over the initial term of any such New Lease with Seller being
responsible for a portion of such tenant improvement costs, allowances
and leasing commissions based on the ratio of Base Rent payments
payable to Seller through 11:59 PM of the day before the Closing
7
Date to the total Base Rent payable over the initial term of the
particular New Lease and, in the event that Seller has paid such
tenant improvement costs, allowances and/or leasing commissions prior
to Closing, Purchaser shall reimburse Seller at Closing for the amount
of any such tenant improvement costs, allowances and/or leasing
commissions paid by Seller, based on the above-described proration.
Seller and Purchaser agree that (i) Seller shall be responsible for
all tenant improvement costs and/or allowances or leasing commissions
set forth on EXHIBIT S attached hereto, (ii) in the event that any
amounts due under EXHIBIT S are unpaid as of Closing, Seller shall
credit Purchaser at Closing for any such unpaid amounts, and (iii)
Purchaser shall be responsible for paying all tenant improvement
costs, allowances and/or leasing commissions for which it receives a
credit at Closing up to the amount of the credit.
(d) the amount of the Security Deposits held by Seller as of the
Closing Date, if any, with Purchaser receiving a credit at Closing
against the Purchase Price in the amount of such Security Deposits
plus interest earned thereon, if such interest must be paid to tenants
under the Leases or applicable law (and Seller shall transfer to
Purchaser at Closing, to the extent transferable, any Security Deposit
held by Seller as of the Closing Date in the form of a letter of
credit);
(e) water, sewer, electric, telephone and all other utility and
fuel charges, fees and use charges, fuel on hand (at cost plus sales
tax), and any deposits with utility companies (to the extent possible,
utility prorations will be handled by meter readings on the day
immediately preceding the Closing Date);
(f) amounts paid or payable under the Service Contracts;
(g) assignable license and permit fees; and
(i) other similar items and expenses of operation.
(ii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, and subject to Sections 4(C)(iii),
Seller shall in all events be entitled to retain amounts paid by tenants
for reimbursement of real estate taxes and assessments, common area
maintenance, mall maintenance, utility charges, water and sewer charges,
insurance and merchant's association dues and assessments and all other
charges to or contributions by tenants under the Leases other than Base
Rent (such assessments, costs, expenses, dues and charges being referred to
herein as the "Tenant Reimbursable Expenses", and the amounts payable by
tenants under the Leases with respect to the Tenant Reimbursable Expenses
being referred to herein as the "Tenant Reimbursements") as of the Closing.
(iii) As soon as practical after Closing, but in no event later than
sixty (60) days after Closing (except for real estate and personal property
taxes and assessments and Tenant Reimbursable Expenses, which shall be
reprorated not later than April 30, 2000), Seller and Purchaser shall, with
respect to any such amounts prorated or adjusted at Closing pursuant to
Section 4(C)(i) above based on estimates or formulae, as applicable,
jointly determine and reapportion such amounts in accordance with Section
4(C)(i) above upon determination of the actual costs or expenses with
respect thereto. In the event that the amount credited to Purchaser by
Seller at Closing exceeds the amount of the credit that Purchaser should
have received had such actual amounts been available at Closing, Purchaser
shall promptly remit such excess amount to Seller. Purchaser shall be
responsible for the reconciliation with tenants of Tenant
8
Reimbursements and Tenant Reimbursable Expenses for the calendar year 1999.
In the event that the amount credited to Seller by Purchaser at Closing
exceeds the amount of the credit that Seller should have received at
Closing had such actual amounts been available at Closing, Seller shall
promptly remit such excess amount to Purchaser. In the event that, after
such reapportionment: (1) the amount of Tenant Reimbursements retained by
Seller as provided in Section 4(C)(ii) above is less than the amount of
Tenant Reimburseable Expenses paid by Seller (whether by direct payment by
Seller or by proration as provided in Section 4(C)(i) above) with respect
to 1999 and the landlord under the Leases is entitled to recover such
difference under the terms of Leases, then Purchaser shall xxxx such
tenants, provide Seller with copies of such bills upon issuance, and
collect such amounts on behalf of Seller and, upon receipt, remit such
collected amounts to Seller; and (2) the amount of Tenant Reimbursements
collected by Seller for 1999 and retained by Seller as provided in Section
4(C)(ii) above exceeds the amount of Tenant Reimburseable Expenses paid by
Seller (whether by direct payment by Seller or by proration as provided in
Section 4(C)(i) above) with respect to 1999 then Seller shall promptly
remit such excess amounts to the Purchaser; provided, that to the extent
any such excess amounts are otherwise payable to a tenant owing
Receivables, Seller may offset the amount otherwise payable to Purchaser
for such tenant against Receivables owing to Seller by such tenant,
remitting any remaining amount to Purchaser. Purchaser shall be obligated
to promptly remit all amounts received from Seller to the particular
tenants in question (and Purchaser shall indemnify, defend and hold Seller,
its beneficiaries, their partners, and their respective directors,
officers, employees and agents, and each of them, harmless from and against
any losses, claims, damages and liabilities [including, without limitation,
reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses incurred in connection therewith]
arising out of or resulting from Purchaser's failure to remit such amounts
to the tenants in accordance with this Section 4(C)(iii).
(iv) Intentionally omitted.
(v) If Seller has not received all Receivables or other amounts owed
to it by tenants within four (4) months after the Closing Date or within
four (4) months after such other amounts may be due, Seller at its sole
cost and expense, shall be entitled at any time within the twelve (12)
month period after the applicable four (4) month period, to commence such
actions or proceedings not affecting possession or enforcing landlord's
liens or resulting in termination of the Lease in question as Seller shall
desire to collect any such Receivables or other amounts, and Purchaser
shall cooperate with Seller in any such action.
(vi) For purposes of this Section 4(C) and the Closing Statement, the
amount of any expense credited by one party to the other shall be deemed an
expense paid by that party. The terms and provisions of this Section 4(C)
shall survive the Closing and delivery of the Deed.
D. Transaction Costs. Purchaser shall be responsible for and shall pay
(i) the full cost of any endorsements to the Title Policy (defined
hereafter) requested by Purchaser and not obtained pursuant to Section
3(C), (ii) the transfer taxes and/or documentary stamps (the "Transfer

timely execute and deliver such forms and returns as are necessary in
connection therewith), (iii) one-half of any Colorado sales tax due from
the sale of the Tangible Personal Property and (iv) its own "due diligence"
costs, including, without limitation, any fees and expenses of

Personal Property and (3) the base premium for the owner's ALTA title
insurance
9
policy with Extended Coverage to be issued to Purchaser at Closing (the
"Title Policy"). Seller and Purchaser shall each pay one-half (1/2) of all

recording fees for all documents. In addition, Purchaser and Seller shall
each be responsible for the fees of their respective attorneys.

5. CASUALTY LOSS AND CONDEMNATION
------------------------------
If, prior to Closing, the Property or any part thereof shall be taken by
eminent domain or condemned, or destroyed or damaged by fire or other casualty,
Seller shall promptly so notify Purchaser. In the event that either: (i) the
reasonable cost to restore the Property due to such damage or destruction is
greater than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) (a "Material Casualty") (ii)
tenants occupying their space under the Leases totaling in excess of ten percent
(10%) of the aggregate rented square footage of the Office Building are entitled
to terminate their respective Leases on account of such damage, destruction or
taking and have not delivered to Purchaser a binding waiver of such rights on or
before the Closing Date, (iii) such damage, destruction or taking would, after
completion of the repair, result in a material violation of applicable laws
affecting the Property (including, without limitation, a violation of the number
of parking spaces required by applicable zoning, which is not remedied by
Closing or for which Seller cannot obtain a zoning variance), (iv) such damage,
destruction or taking would result in a permanent material impairment of
reasonable means of vehicular or pedestrian access to the Office Building, or
(v) any material portion of the Office Building is taken or condemned (a
"Material Condemnation"), then Purchaser shall have the option to terminate this
Agreement by delivery of its written termination notice to Seller within twenty
(20) days of Seller's written notice thereof. If (a) the aforementioned casualty
is not a Material Casualty, (b) the aforementioned taking or condemnation is not
a Material Condemnation, or (c) Purchaser does not elect to terminate this
Agreement pursuant to the provisions of the preceding sentence (time being of
the essence with respect to any such election), then Seller and Purchaser shall
consummate the transaction contemplated by this Agreement without abatement of
the Purchase Price and Purchaser shall be entitled during the period following
the Inspection Period and prior to Closing to approve the terms of any property
insurance settlement, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed,
and to receive at Closing the taking, condemnation or property insurance
proceeds (or an assignment of the right to such proceeds) (less any amounts
applied against costs incurred by Seller related to the restoration or repair of
the Property as a result of such occurrence) plus a credit against the Purchase
Price in the amount of any uninsured loss (as to property only) and any
deductible payable by Seller under applicable property insurance, and Seller
shall, at Closing, execute and deliver to Purchaser all customary proofs of
loss, assignments of claims and other similar items. Seller shall be entitled to
all rent loss insurance proceeds attributable to the period through the Closing
Date. If Purchaser elects to terminate this Agreement pursuant to the provisions
of this Section 5 and Purchaser is not in material default under this Agreement,
the Xxxxxxx Money shall be returned to Purchaser by the Escrowee, in which event
this Agreement shall, without further action of the parties, become null and
void and neither party shall have any further rights or obligations under this
Agreement except those rights and obligations which expressly survive
termination of this Agreement as provided herein and Seller's rights under the
Confidentiality Agreement (as defined in Section 8(A) below).

6. BROKERAGE
---------
Seller, pursuant to a separate written agreement (the "Broker Agreement"),
is obligated to pay upon Closing (but not otherwise) a brokerage commission to
Xxxxxxx Realty Corporation ("Broker") for services rendered in connection with
the sale and purchase of the Property. Seller shall indemnify and hold Purchaser
harmless from and against any and all claims of Broker related to Seller's
agreement under the Broker Agreement to pay Broker a commission in connection
with the purchase and sale of the Property, including, without limitation,
reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses incurred by Purchaser in connection with
such claim. Purchaser represents and warrants to Seller that Purchaser does not
have any agreement with any broker or finder in connection with the Property.
Seller represents and warrants to Purchaser that Seller does not have any
agreement with any broker or finder in connection with the Property, other than
Broker pursuant to the Broker Agreement. Seller and Purchaser shall each
indemnify and hold the other harmless from and against any and all claims of all
brokers and finders (other than a claim by Broker against Seller of the type
described in the first sentence of this Section 6, which claim Seller shall be
obligated to indemnify Purchaser against as provided above) claiming by, through
or under the indemnifying party and in any way related to the sale and purchase
of the Property, this Agreement or otherwise, including, without limitation,
reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses incurred by the indemnified party in
connection with such claim. The provisions of this Section 6 shall survive the
Closing and delivery of the Deed or sooner termination of this Agreement.
7. DEFAULT AND REMEDIES
--------------------
A. Seller Default.
--------------
(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Agreement, if (1) Seller fails to perform in accordance with the terms of
this Agreement, (2) Purchaser is not otherwise in material default
hereunder, and (3) the Closing does not occur, then, as Purchaser's sole
and exclusive remedy hereunder and at Purchaser's option, either (x) the
Xxxxxxx Money shall be returned to Purchaser, in which event this Agreement
shall be null and void, and neither party shall have any rights or
obligations under this Agreement other than those rights that explicitly
survive a termination of this Agreement, or (y) provided an action is filed
within sixty (60) days after Purchaser becomes aware of such failure and
Purchaser gives written notice to Seller when such action is filed,
Purchaser may seek specific performance of this Agreement, but not damages.
Purchaser's failure to seek specific performance as aforesaid shall
constitute its election to proceed under clause (x) above.
(ii) In the event that (1) Seller has, prior to Closing, sold and
conveyed the Property in violation of this Agreement and this Agreement has
not theretofore been terminated in accordance with any provision of this
Agreement and, as a result of such sale and conveyance, it is not possible
that specific performance can occur, or (2) in the event of an intentional,
willful and bad faith material breach by Seller of the terms of this
Agreement, including without limitation (x) Seller amending or terminating
an existing Lease or entering into a New Lease demising additional space in
violation of Section 10(L), but not including storage space or parking
space leases at rates and terms similar to any existing storage and parking
space leases, and such action by Seller with respect to such Lease or New
Lease materially increases the obligations of Purchaser after Closing or
materially adversely affects the operation of the Property or the revenues
received therefrom, and such breach is not cured within ten (10) days after
written notice of such breach by Purchaser to Seller, and the Agreement has
not thereafter been terminated by Purchaser or by Seller in accordance with
any provision of this Agreement,
11
and Purchaser is not otherwise in material default hereunder, (y) Seller
amending or terminating a Service Contract or entering into a new Service
Contract in violation of Section 10(U)(1), and such action by Seller with
respect to such Service Contract materially increases the obligations of
Purchaser after Closing or materially adversely affects the operation of
the Property or the revenues received therefrom, and such breach is not
cured within ten (10) days after written notice of such breach by Purchaser
to Seller, and the Agreement has not thereafter been terminated by
Purchaser or by Seller in accordance with any provision of this Agreement,
and Purchaser is not otherwise in material default hereunder, and (z)
Seller failing to deliver the Deed or any other material closing delivery
listed in Section 4(B)(i) as required under this Agreement, then Purchaser
shall be entitled to terminate this Agreement and pursue a claim against
Seller due to Seller's failure to perform in accordance with the terms of
this Agreement as result of such breach, such claim for damages to be for
reimbursement of an amount equal to the lesser of Purchaser's actual,
third-party, out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with its
proposed purchase of the Property as contemplated in this Agreement and
One Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($150,000).
B. Purchaser Default. If (i) Purchaser materially fails to perform in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement, (ii) Seller is not in material
default hereunder, and (iii) the Closing does not occur, the Xxxxxxx Money
may be retained by Seller as liquidated and agreed upon damages and as
Seller's sole and exclusive remedy with respect thereto other than those
rights that survive a termination of this Agreement as provided herein and
Seller's rights under the Confidentiality Agreement. If Purchaser does not
deposit with the Escrowee the Xxxxxxx Money as provided for in Section
2(A)(i) above, the sum of $250,000 shall nonetheless be recoverable by
Seller from Purchaser as Xxxxxxx Money and without prejudice to Seller's
other rights and remedies. PURCHASER AND SELLER ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT
(1) THE XXXXXXX MONEY IS A REASONABLE ESTIMATE OF AND BEARS A REASONABLE
RELATIONSHIP TO THE DAMAGES THAT WOULD BE SUFFERED AND COSTS INCURRED BY
SELLER AS A RESULT OF HAVING WITHDRAWN THE PROPERTY FROM SALE AND THE
FAILURE OF CLOSING TO OCCUR DUE TO A DEFAULT OF PURCHASER UNDER THIS
AGREEMENT; (2) THE ACTUAL DAMAGES SUFFERED AND COSTS INCURRED BY SELLER AS
A RESULT OF SUCH WITHDRAWAL AND FAILURE TO CLOSE DUE TO A DEFAULT OF
PURCHASER UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WOULD BE EXTREMELY DIFFICULT AND IMPRACTICAL
TO DETERMINE; (3) PURCHASER SEEKS TO LIMIT ITS LIABILITY UNDER THIS
AGREEMENT TO THE AMOUNT OF THE XXXXXXX MONEY IN THE EVENT THIS AGREEMENT IS
TERMINATED AND THE TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT DOES NOT
CLOSE DUE TO A DEFAULT OF PURCHASER UNDER THIS AGREEMENT; AND (4) THE
XXXXXXX MONEY SHALL BE AND CONSTITUTE VALID LIQUIDATED DAMAGES.
PURCHASER INITIALS: SELLER INITIALS:
___________________ ________________
C. Post-Closing Remedies. After Closing, Seller and Purchaser shall,
subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement (including, without
limitation, Section 10(P) below), have such
12
rights and remedies as are available at law or in equity, except that
neither Seller nor Purchaser shall be entitled to recover from the
other consequential or special damages. The provisions of this Section
7 shall survive the Closing and delivery of the Deed or sooner
termination of this Agreement.
8. CONDITIONS PRECEDENT
--------------------
A. Inspection Period. Subject to Section 10(G) below and the
provisions of that certain confidentiality letter agreement dated July
20, 1998, as amended by that certain modification letter agreement
dated February 5, 1999 and accepted by Purchaser on February 8, 1999
(collectively, the "Confidentiality Agreement"), Purchaser and/or its
agents have had, and shall have, the period between February 9, 1999
and 4 PM (Chicago, Illinois time) on April 5, 1999, within which to
inspect the Property and conduct such tests, surveys and inspections
as Purchaser deems reasonably necessary or appropriate (the
"Inspection Period"); provided, however, Purchaser will not conduct
any invasive or intrusive test without first obtaining Seller's prior
written consent, which may be withheld in Seller's sole and absolute
discretion. Seller hereby agrees that Purchaser may conduct invasive
testing as described on EXHIBIT W. If Seller in its absolute
discretion withholds its consent to Purchaser's reasonable request to
conduct an invasive or intrusive test on the Property during the
Inspection Period, then the Xxxxxxx Money shall be returned to
Purchaser together with an amount equal to the lesser of (i)
Purchaser's actual, third-party, out-of-pocket expenses incurred in
connection with its proposed purchase of the Property as contemplated
in this Agreement, and (ii) $50,000, this Agreement shall be null and
void and neither party shall have any further rights or obligations
under this Agreement. If Purchaser determines that the Property is
unsuitable for its purposes for any reason and Purchaser gives Seller
written notice of such decision before the expiration of the
Inspection Period, then the Xxxxxxx Money shall be returned to
Purchaser, this Agreement shall be null and void and neither party
shall have any further rights or obligations under this Agreement.
Purchaser's failure to object in writing to Seller within the
Inspection Period shall be deemed a waiver by Purchaser of the
condition contained in this Section 8(A). In the event of such a
deemed waiver, Purchaser shall also be deemed to have acknowledged
that it had an opportunity to inspect the Property and all Disclosures
(as defined in Section 10(H) below) and make such other inquiries and
investigations and obtain such reports and analyses it deemed adequate
in connection with its decision to purchase the Property, and, as a
result thereof, Purchaser shall be deemed to have agreed that, except
as specifically set forth in this Agreement, it shall purchase the
Property in its "AS IS, WHERE IS" condition, subject to ordinary wear
and tear and as more particularly provided in Section 10(H) below.
B. Estoppel Certificates. (i) It shall be a condition precedent to
Purchaser's obligation to close the purchase and sale transaction
contemplated in this Agreement that Purchaser shall have received at
Closing estoppel certificates (individually, an "Estoppel Certificate"
and collectively, the "Estoppel Certificates") dated as of a date no
more than forty-five (45) days prior to Closing, from tenants
occupying not less than eighty percent (80%) of the net rentable
square footage of space at the Property actually leased as of the end
of the Inspection Period pursuant to valid and existing Leases (but
which shall include in any event Federal Express, Antec Corporation
and Showtime Networks) and in form and content as set forth herein
(collectively, the "Required Tenants"); provided, however, that in the
event that Seller has not received the Estoppel Certificates from the
Required Tenants at least three (3) business days before the scheduled
date for Closing, Seller or Purchaser may extend the scheduled date
for Closing up to three (3) business days by written notice to the
other party. The Estoppel
13
Certificates executed by tenants shall be substantially in the form of
EXHIBIT G attached hereto (the "Form Tenant Estoppel Certificate"), except
that an Estoppel Certificate shall be deemed an acceptable Estoppel
Certificate for purposes of this Section 8(B)(i) if it is in a form
required by the applicable Tenant's Lease (the aforesaid acceptable
Estoppel Certificates to be delivered are collectively referred to as the
"Required Estoppel Certificates"). The fact that an Estoppel Certificate
contains either (1) the qualification by the tenant that (a) the second
sentence of item 3 of the Estoppel Certificate, (b) the second sentence of
item 4 of the Estoppel Certificate, or (c) the square footage of the leased
premises, is to the best of its knowledge or as being subject to any
similar qualification, or (2) any tenant objection to addressing or
certifying the Estoppel Certificate to Purchaser's mortgage lender, if any,
shall not render the Estoppel Certificate unacceptable. Seller shall use
reasonable efforts, but shall not be required to expend any sums, to obtain
an Estoppel Certificate dated as of a date no more than forty-five (45)
days prior to the Closing for all tenants under the Leases; provided,
however, that the foregoing limitation on the expenditure of funds by
Seller shall not limit Seller's other obligations under this Agreement.
Seller shall send Estoppel Certificates to Purchaser as they are received.
If Seller does not provide Purchaser with an Estoppel Certificate from a
tenant of the Property, at Closing, Seller shall provide Purchaser with a
copy of such tenant's Lease and all material amendments thereto, but not
including any correspondence other than work letters which are attached as
exhibits to the Lease, certified by Seller to be complete, true and
correct. Such certification shall be subject to the same limitations on
liability and survival set forth in Sections 9(C) and 9(E).
(ii) In the event that Seller is unable to provide to Purchaser the
Required Estoppel Certificates at Closing as provided above, Purchaser may
either: (x) elect not to purchase the Property, in which event this
Agreement shall be null and void, the Escrowee shall promptly return the
Xxxxxxx Money to Purchaser and thereafter neither Seller nor Purchaser
shall have any further rights or obligations under this Agreement, other
than those rights and obligations which expressly survive termination of
this Agreement and the rights and obligations under the Confidentiality
Agreement; or (y) elect to purchase the Property notwithstanding Seller's
inability to provide the Required Estoppel Certificates, in which event
Seller shall not be obligated to provide any additional Estoppel
Certificates to Purchaser after Closing. The provisions of this Section
8(B)(ii) shall survive the Closing and delivery of the Deed.
(iii) If any Estoppel Certificates contain statements or allegations
that a default or potential default exists on the part of Seller under the
Lease in question and (i) the existence or the substance of such
allegations or statements were contained in any Disclosures (as defined in
Section 10(H) below) prior to the end of the Inspection Period, or (ii)
prior to the end of the Inspection Period Purchaser otherwise obtained
actual knowledge of facts revealing the substance of such statements or
allegations, or (iii) Purchaser elects that Closing occur notwithstanding
the existence of such default of potential default, then such Estoppel
Certificates shall be deemed acceptable for purposes of this Section 8(B),
notwithstanding the existence of such allegations or statements and Seller
shall have no liability to Purchaser hereunder with respect to the
existence of such allegations, statements or information. The provisions
of this Section 8(B)(iii) shall survive the Closing and delivery of the
Deed.
C. Accuracy of Seller's Representations and Warranties. It shall be a
condition precedent to Purchaser's obligation to close the purchase and
sale transaction contemplated in this Agreement that each of Seller's
representations and warranties set forth in Section 9(A) below shall be
true and correct in all material respects as of Closing, as modified by any
Pre-Closing
14
Disclosures (as defined in Section 9(B) below). In the event that Seller
makes any Pre-Closing Disclosures to Purchaser, Purchaser shall have the
right to terminate this Agreement and receive the return of the Xxxxxxx
Money by delivering written notice thereof to Seller on or before the
earlier of Closing or the fifth (5th) business day after Purchaser receives
written notice of such Pre-Closing Disclosure. If Purchaser does not
terminate this Agreement pursuant to its rights under this Section 8(C),
then such representations shall be deemed modified to conform them to the
Pre-Closing Disclosures. The provisions of this Section 8(C) shall survive
the Closing and delivery of the Deed or sooner termination of this
Agreement.
D. Title Policy. It shall be a condition precedent to Purchaser's
obligation to close the transactions contemplated by this Agreement that
Title Insurer deliver (a) an ALTA Owner's Extended Coverage Title Insurance
Policy for the Property (with the following endorsements, to the extent
available in the state in which the Property is located, attached thereto:
comprehensive endorsement, a form 3.1 zoning endorsement, an access
endorsement, a contiguity endorsement, an endorsement insuring the Property
is a separately assessed tax parcel, an address endorsement, a survey
endorsement and such other endorsements as Purchaser may reasonably
require; provided that prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period
Purchaser determines, and provides written evidence to Seller, that Title
Insurer commits to issue all of such endorsements at Closing), or (b) the
Title Insurer's irrevocable commitment to issue such policy of title
insurance, with liability equal to the Purchase Price showing fee title to
the Property vested in Purchaser and subject only to the Permitted
Exceptions.
E. Performance of Covenants. It shall be a condition precedent to
Purchaser's obligation to close the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement that Seller perform and comply in all material respects with all
of the terms of this Agreement to be performed and complied with by Seller
prior to or at the Closing.
F. Updated Rent Roll. It shall be a condition precedent to Purchaser's
obligation to close the transactions contemplated by this Agreement that
Seller has delivered to Purchaser, at least five (5) days prior to the
Closing Date, an updated Rent Roll in the form specified in Section 9(A)(v)
(the "Updated Rent Roll"), dated not earlier than fifteen (15) days prior
to the Closing Date, certified by Seller to be accurate and complete. Such
certification shall be subject to the same limitations on liability and
survival set forth in Sections 9(C) and 9(E).
G. Estoppel Letter from Denver Tech Center. It shall be a condition
precedent to Purchaser's obligation to close the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement that Seller provide Purchaser with a letter from the
Architectural Control Committee for the Denver Technological Center (the
"ACC"), in the form provided by the ACC, certifying that the Property is in
compliance with the covenants of the Denver Technological Center. Seller
shall use reasonable efforts to obtain such estoppel letter from the ACC
and shall pay ACC's standard fee for issuing such letter.

constructive) current knowledge of the Designated Persons (defined below),
after Inquiry (defined below). The "Designated Persons" are Xxxxxx

or notice given to any of Seller's other agents, servants, representatives
or employees shall not be imputed to Seller.
B. Representations Remade. Seller shall be deemed to remake and restate

circumstance which Seller's Chicago, Illinois representatives become aware
of that would make any of Seller's representations contained in Section
9(A) untrue or incorrect in any material respect, (ii) to reflect any
Disclosures prior to the Inspection Period, (iii) to reflect
17
any statements or allegations in Estoppel Certificates that a default or
potential default exists on the part of Seller under the respective Leases

respective Leases or Service Contracts, and neither the existence of any
default by any tenant under its Lease nor the default of any party under
any Service Contract shall affect the obligations of Purchaser hereunder;
provided, however, the foregoing shall not affect the conditions contained
in Section 8(B) above. The provisions of this Section 9(D) shall survive
the Closing and delivery of the Deed.
E. Estoppel Certificates supersede representations. In the event that an
Estoppel Certificate is received from a tenant (before or after Closing)
which confirms the accuracy of the representations made in Section 9(A) (as
modified as provided in Section 9(B)), then the representations in Section
9(A) (as modified as provided in Section 9(B)) shall be deemed to be
superseded by such Estoppel Certificate (and, in such event, Seller shall
no longer have any liability hereunder with respect to the portion of the
representation superseded). The provisions of this Section 9(E) shall
survive the Closing and delivery of the Deed.
10. MISCELLANEOUS
-------------
A. Entire Agreement. All understandings and agreements heretofore had
between Seller and Purchaser with respect to the Property (including
without limitation, those contained in the Letter of Intent, but excluding
the Confidentiality Agreement) are merged in this Agreement, which alone

further acknowledges that, except as expressly provided in this Agreement,

occupants and users of the Property. No inspection shall be undertaken
without at least forty-eight (48) hours prior telephonic notice to Seller.
Seller shall have the right to be present at any or all inspections.
Purchaser may contact tenants directly or conduct engineering inspections;
provided that Purchaser shall notify Seller forty-eight (48) hours prior to
any such contact or inspection so that Seller may have a
20
representative present during such contact or inspection. No inspection
shall involve the taking of samples or other physically invasive procedures
without the prior consent of Seller, which may be withheld in Seller's sole
and absolute discretion. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
in this Agreement, Purchaser shall indemnify and hold Seller and its
employees and agents, and each of them, harmless from and against any and
all losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including, without limitation,
reasonable attorneys' fees incurred in connection therewith) directly
arising out of or resulting from Purchaser's exercise of its rights under
this Agreement, including, without limitation, its rights of inspection as
provided for in Section 8(A) above, but excluding, however, any pre-
existing conditions on the Property. Except upon the written request of
Seller pursuant to Section 10(K) below or upon the oral request of Seller,
Purchaser shall not advise Seller of the results, or deliver to Seller
copies, of any of the studies, reports, surveys or other information, data
and/or documents relating to the Property or any part thereof prepared by
or at the request of Purchaser, its employees, agents, representatives or
contractors. The provisions of this Section 10(G) shall survive the Closing
and delivery of the Deed or sooner termination of this Agreement.

THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION 10(H) SHALL SURVIVE THE CLOSING AND
DELIVERY OF THE DEED OR SOONER TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT.
I. Waiver of Jury Trial. In any lawsuit or other proceeding under or with
respect to this Agreement, the parties waive any rights they may have to
trial by jury. In addition, Purchaser waives any right to seek rescission
of the transaction provided for in this Agreement. The provisions of this
Section 10(I) shall survive the Closing and delivery of the Deed or sooner
termination of this Agreement.
J. Confidentiality. Purchaser and Seller acknowledge that they have
entered into a Confidentiality Agreement attached as EXHIBIT Q regarding
the transaction contemplated by this Agreement. In addition, Seller agrees
that it shall not make any disclosures of the transaction contemplated by
this Agreement to any third party, except for disclosures to lenders,
accountants, lawyers, consultants, advisors and other professionals to the
extent necessary to
22
satisfy Seller's obligations under this Agreement and except for
disclosures required by law. Broker shall not make any disclosure with
respect to the Property, including without limitation, the sales price of
the Property or the identity of the Purchaser, without the written approval
of Seller and Purchaser, which may withheld in their sole discretion.
Broker hereby indemnifies, defends and holds harmless Seller and Purchaser
and Seller's and Purchaser's principals, their officers, directors,
members, partners, agents and employees from and against any loss,
liability, claim or action (including without limitation, reasonable
attorneys' fees and expenses) arising out of or related to a disclosure
made by Broker without first obtaining the written approval of Seller and
Purchaser. Broker's obligations under this Section 10(J) shall survive
Closing or any termination of this Agreement. Purchaser's obligations under
this Section 10(J) shall survive any termination of this Agreement, as set
forth in the Confidentiality Agreement.
K. Reports. If for any reason Purchaser does not consummate the Closing,
then Purchaser shall, upon Seller's written request, assign and transfer to
Seller, to the extent transferrable, all of its right, title and interest
in and to any and all engineering and environmental studies, reports,
surveys and other information, data and/or documents (collectively, the
"Reports") relating to the Property or any part thereof prepared by or at
the request of Purchaser, its employees and agents, and shall deliver to
seller copies of the Reports; provided, however, Seller shall reimburse
Purchaser for the cost of obtaining the Reports (including the cost of
retaining the third-party consultants who prepared the Reports) before
Purchaser delivers such Reports and the Reports shall be provided without
representation or warranty of any kind. The provisions of this Section
10(K) shall survive any termination of this Agreement.
L. New Leases. Seller and Purchaser further agree as follows:
1. From and after the date of the Letter of Intent through the
Closing, Seller has delivered or shall deliver, as applicable, for
Purchaser's review (a "New Lease Notice") a copy of any proposed New
Lease, financial statements of the proposed new tenant, if such
financial statements were provided to Seller, and such other
information as may reasonably be requested by Purchaser, if such
information is in the possession of Seller. During the period between
the date of this Agreement and Closing, Purchaser shall have the right
to approve or disapprove of any New Lease by responding in writing to
Seller's New Lease Notice within three (3) business days after
Purchaser's receipt of the New Lease Notice. If Purchaser fails to
approve or disapprove of such New Lease within such three (3) business
day period, Purchaser shall be deemed to have conclusively approved of
such New Lease. In the event that Purchaser reasonably disapproves of
such New Lease within such three (3) business day period, Seller shall
not enter into such New Lease. If Seller enters into such a New Lease
after Purchaser reasonably disapproves of such New Lease as provided
in the preceding sentence, then Purchaser shall have the right, within
five (5) days after Purchaser's receipt of written notice of Seller's
entering into such New Lease, to terminate this Agreement. If
Purchaser does not so terminate this Agreement, Purchaser shall be
deemed to have conclusively approved of such New Lease. If Purchaser
elects to terminate this Agreement pursuant to the provisions of this
Section 10(L)(1) and Purchaser is otherwise not in material default of
its obligations under this Agreement, Purchaser may elect to obtain a
refund of the Xxxxxxx Money from the Escrowee and pursue damages, if
available pursuant to Section 7(A)(ii), in which event this Agreement
shall, without further action of the parties, become null and void and
neither party shall have any further rights or obligations under this
Agreement except those rights and obligations
23
which expressly survive termination of this Agreement as provided
herein and Seller's rights under the Confidentiality Agreement (as
defined in Section 8(A) above). Purchaser hereby agrees that it has
approved the terms of the New Leases and third-party commissions
related thereto, if any, listed on EXHIBIT V, provided, however, that
Purchaser shall have further approval rights pursuant to this Section
10(L)(1) in the event that there are material changes to the economic
terms of such leases.
2. All tenant improvement costs and/or allowances and leasing
commissions relating to (a) New Leases entered into by Seller during
the period between the date of this Agreement and the expiration of
the Inspection Period, and (b) New Leases entered into by Seller after
the Inspection Period and prior to Closing which Purchaser approves
(or is deemed to approve) in accordance with Section 11(L)(1) above,
shall be prorated in accordance with Section 4(C)(i)(c) above.
M. Reporting Person. Seller and Purchaser hereby designate Escrowee to
act as and perform the duties and obligations of the "reporting person"
with respect to the transaction contemplated by this Agreement for purposes
of 26 C.F.R. Section 1.6045-4(e)(5) relating to the requirements for
information reporting on real estate transaction closed on or after January
1, 1991. In this regard, Seller and Purchaser each agree to execute at
Closing, and to cause the Escrowee to execute at Closing, a Designation
Agreement, designating Escrowee as the reporting person with respect to the
transaction contemplated by this Agreement.
N. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
identical counterparts, any or all of which may contain signatures of fewer
than all of the parties but all of which taken together shall constitute a
single instrument.
O. No Recording. Neither this Agreement nor a memorandum thereof shall be
recorded against the Property.
P. Limitation of Liability. Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that any
recovery against Seller that Purchaser may be entitled to as a result of
any claim, demand or cause of action that Purchaser may have against Seller
with respect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated herein
shall only be recoverable against Seller in an amount not in excess of
Seven Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($750,000.00). The provisions of this
Section 10(P) shall survive the Closing and the delivery of the Deed.
Q. Conflict. In the event of a conflict between the terms and provisions
of the Confidentiality Agreement and this Agreement, the terms and
provisions of this Agreement shall control.
R. No survival unless specifically provided. Except as specifically
provided for in this Agreement, the rights, obligations, representations,
warranties, covenants and Agreements of the parties set forth in this
Agreement shall not survive the Closing or any termination of this
Agreement.
S. No third-party beneficiaries. Except as specifically provided herein,
no third parties shall have the benefit of any of the provisions of this
Agreement, nor is this Agreement made with the intent that any person or
entity other than Seller and Purchaser shall rely hereon.
24
T. Potential Mechanic's Liens related to Tenant Buildout. Should the
timing and/or scope of work to be performed by the lessor under Leases
and/or New Leases require Seller to enter into contracts with contractors
or other parties during the period between the date of this Agreement and
Closing in order to comply with the lessor's obligations under such Leases
and/or New Leases and the work performed under such contracts will not be
completed prior to Closing, Seller shall submit the proposed contract with
such contractor or other parties to Purchaser for its approval. Purchaser
shall have the right (exercisable in its reasonable discretion) to approve
or disapprove of such contract. If Purchaser fails to approve or disapprove
of such contract within five (5) business days after its receipt of same,
Purchaser shall be deemed to have conclusively approved of such contract.
In the event Purchaser reasonably disapproves of such contract within such
five (5) business day period, Seller shall not enter into such contract. If
Seller enters into such contract after Purchaser reasonably disapproves of
such contract as provided in the preceding sentence, then Purchaser shall
have the right, within five (5) days after Purchaser's receipt of written
notice of seller's entering into such contract, to notify Seller in writing
as to whether or not it will elect to terminate the Agreement due to Seller
entering into such contract. Upon Seller's receipt of written notice from
Purchaser of Purchaser's intent to terminate the Agreement as permitted
under the preceding sentence, Seller shall have five (5) days to terminate
such contract so as to result in no liability to Purchaser after Closing
under such contract and, in the event that Seller so terminates such
contract within such five (5) day period, Purchaser shall not be permitted
to terminate the Agreement due to Seller entering into such contract. If
Seller does not terminate the contract as provided above within the five
(5) day period, then, if Purchaser is otherwise entitled hereunder to
return of the Xxxxxxx Money, the Xxxxxxx Money shall be returned to
Purchaser by the Escrowee, in which event this Agreement shall, without
further action of the parties, become null and void and neither party shall
have any further rights or obligations under this Agreement except those
rights and obligations which expressly survive termination of this
Agreement as provided herein and Seller's rights under the Confidentiality
Agreement (as defined in Section 8(A) above). If a contract approved under
this Section 10(T) requires that Seller pay any amounts under such contract
prior to Closing, Seller shall pay such amounts (and such amounts shall be
prorated between Purchaser and Seller as provided in Sections 4(C)(i)(c)
above). At Closing, Purchaser shall assume the obligations of Seller under
all contracts approved under this Section 10(T) and all Service Contracts
with respect to construction, including the obligation for payment of all
amounts owed under such contracts and Service Contracts after Closing. If
any such approved contract(s) and/or Service Contracts result in work for
which the provider or subcontractor thereunder may obtain a lien against
the Property if such work is not paid for and Purchaser is obligated to pay
for such work as provided in the preceding sentence, then the "Permitted
Exceptions" shall be deemed to include any potential liens and related
notices of commencement as a result thereof. Notwithstanding any provision
to the contrary, Seller and Purchaser acknowledge that (i) Seller shall be
responsible for all amounts due under the contracts related to the tenant
improvement work described on EXHIBIT S, as provided in Section 4(C)(i)(c),
and (ii) if such tenant improvement work is not completed as of Closing,
Purchaser shall assume the construction contracts for such tenant
improvement work as of Closing, provided that Seller delivers partial lien
waivers from the contractors for all amounts that have been paid under such
contracts as of the Closing. The assumption of such construction contracts
shall be accomplished by listing such contracts on EXHIBIT A to the
Assignment and Assumption of Service Contracts. The provisions of this
Section 10(T) shall survive the Closing and delivery of the Deed.
U. Pre-Closing Operation Covenants. Seller shall comply with the
covenants contained in this Section 10(U) from the date of this Agreement
through the Closing Date or earlier
25
termination of this Agreement unless Purchaser consents otherwise in
writing. Purchaser may grant or withhold any such consent requested by
seller in Purchaser's sole discretion.
1. Seller shall not, without Purchaser's prior written approval,
enter into a new Service Contract, or amend or waive an existing service
contract, that is not terminable upon thirty (30) days written notice
without penalty.
2. Seller shall maintain or cause to be maintained in full force and
effect its existing casualty insurance with respect to the Property and
comprehensive general liability insurance.
3. Seller shall not (i) sell or otherwise transfer any interest in
all or any portion of the Property or (ii) negotiate or enter into any
letters of intent or other agreements for the sale or other transfer of the
Property or any portion thereof.
4. Prior to the Closing, Seller shall pay, or otherwise provide for
the payment of, all obligations that have accrued and are due as of Closing
for leasing commissions and tenant improvements incurred during Seller's
period of ownership for all leases, including those entered into on or
after the date of this Agreement but prior to the Closing Date, except as
otherwise provided in this Agreement.
5. Between the date of this Agreement and the Closing Date, Seller
shall operate the Property in the normal course of Seller's business and
maintain the Property in the same condition as of the date of this
Agreement, ordinary wear and tear excepted and subject to Section 5 above.
Notwithstanding anything in the preceding sentence to the contrary, in no
event shall Seller be required to make any capital improvements or other
repairs, the cost of which cannot be passed through to tenants under the
Leases (collectively, "Capital Repairs"), which cost, in the aggregate, in
excess of $75,000. If Seller elects to make a Capital Repair, Seller and
Purchaser agree that the cost of such Capital Repair shall be amortized
over the useful life of such Capital Repair, as determined using generally
accepted accounting principles. Seller's share of the cost of a Capital
Repair shall be calculated by multiplying the total cost of the Capital
Repair by the proportion of the useful life of the Capital Repair that will
occur before the Closing Date. Purchaser's share of the cost of a Capital
Repair shall be calculated by multiplying the total cost of the Capital
Repair by the proportion of the useful life of the Capital Repair that will
occur after the Closing Date. For example, if a Capital Repair has a useful
life of 1 year and is made one month before Closing, Seller would be
responsible for 1/12th of the cost of such Capital Repair and Purchaser
would be responsible for 11/12th of the cost of such Capital Repair.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Seller elects to make Capital Repairs
that cost in excess of $75,000 in the aggregate and Purchaser's share of
the cost of such Capital Repairs exceeds $75,000 in the aggregate,
Purchaser's shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by written
notice to Seller and to receive a refund of the Xxxxxxx Money from the
Escrowee, as its sole remedy, in which event this Agreement shall be null
and void and neither party shall have any rights or obligations under this
Agreement other than those rights that explicitly survive a termination of
this Agreement. If Purchaser elects not to terminate this Agreement,
Purchaser shall consummate the transaction contemplated by this Agreement
and shall be responsible for its share of the cost of Capital Repairs as
calculated pursuant to this Section 10(U).
V. Post-Closing Purchaser Covenant. In the event that a broker makes a
claim against Seller after Closing for a leasing commission coming due as
the result of the renewal, extension
26
or other modification of a Lease by a tenant and Purchaser after Closing,
Purchaser shall reasonably cooperate with Seller and shall provide Seller
with information reasonably requested by Seller concerning the renewal,
extension or other modification of such Lease. This Section 10(V) shall
survive the Closing and delivery of the Deed.

Attn: Xxxxx Xxxxxx
The amount of Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000) (the "Escrow
Deposit") is deposited with the Chicago Office of Chicago Title Insurance
Company in escrow by Invesco Realty Advisors, Inc., a Delaware corporation, the
"Purchaser" under that certain Real Estate Sale Agreement (the "Agreement"),
dated March ___, 1999, with First Capital Prentice Avenue Associates, an
Illinois joint venture, as the "Seller."
As escrowee, you are hereby directed to hold, deal with and dispose of the
Escrow Deposit in accordance with the following terms and conditions:
1. You are to hold the Escrow Deposit until: (a) you are in receipt of a joint
order by the undersigned Seller and Purchaser as to the disposition of the
Escrow Deposit; or (b) you are in receipt of a written demand (the
"Demand") from either Seller or Purchaser for the payment of the Escrow
Deposit or any portion thereof. Upon receipt of any Demand, you are
directed to so notify the other party, enclosing a copy of the Demand. If
within five (5) days after the non-demanding party has received or is
deemed to have received your notice of your receipt of the Demand, you have
not received from the non-demanding party its notice of objection to the
Demand, then you are to disburse the Escrow Deposit as requested by the
Demand. If within said five-day period you receive from the non-demanding
party its notice of objection to the Demand, then you are to continue to
hold the Escrow Deposit until you are in receipt of a joint order as
aforesaid, but after sixty (60) days you may deposit the Escrow Deposit
with a Court of competent jurisdiction.
2. Notwithstanding the foregoing, as escrowee, you are hereby expressly
authorized to regard and to comply with and obey any and all orders,
judgments or decrees entered or issued by any Court, and in case you obey
or comply with any such order, judgment or decree of any Court, you shall
not be liable to either of the parties hereto or any other person or entity
by reason of such compliance, notwithstanding any such order, judgment or
decree be entered without jurisdiction or be subsequently reversed,
modified, annulled, set aside or vacated. In case of any suit or proceeding
regarding these Escrow Instructions, to which you are or may at any time be
a party, the undersigned Seller and Purchaser agree that the non-prevailing
party shall pay to you upon demand all reasonable costs and expenses
incurred by you in connection herewith.
3. Any escrow fee to be charged by you is to be borne equally by the
undersigned Seller and Purchaser.
4. As escrowee, you shall invest the Escrow Deposit in an interest-bearing
savings or money market account or short term U.S. Treasury Bills or
similar cash equivalent securities, as the undersigned Purchaser may
direct. Any interest earned on the Escrow Deposit, after you deduct your
customary investment charges, shall become and be deemed to be a part of
the Escrow Deposit.
5. All notices or other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall
be personally delivered or sent by overnight courier (such as Federal
Express), by facsimile transmission or by first class United States Mail,
postage prepaid, registered or certified (return receipt requested) to the
respective addresses for the Seller, Purchaser and escrowee as herein
provided. A notice is given on the date it is personally delivered, sent by

including a limited asbestos survey to identify potential locations of ACM
in materials such as insulation, ceiling and floor tiles, sheetrock, pipe
wrap and other building materials. If available, building blue prints,
records, and building material specifications shall be reviewed to identify
the use of asbestos in the building construction. Up to fifteen (15)
samples of suspect materials, friable and non-friable, shall be collected
for analysis and tested in accordance with EPA-approved methods of sampling
and laboratory analysis. Purchaser's environmental consultant will be LAW

materials such as fireproofing, mechanical systems material such as thermal
insulation for pipes, pipe fittings/ elbows and boilers, and finish
materials such as wall board, surfacing on ceilings and walls, and ceiling
and floor tiles including mastic. Potentially friable ACM will be patched
as necessary following sampling. LAW Engineering will make every effort to
obtain their samples from inconspicuous places.
