(c) Seller shall have the right, but not the obligation, except as provided below in this Section 4.1(c), to elect to cure any such matter by giving written notice to Buyer (“Seller’s Response”), within five (5) business days after the date hereof (“Seller’s Response Period”), and may extend the Closing Date for up to ten (10) business days to allow such cure. If Seller does not give any Seller’s Response, Seller shall be deemed to have elected not to cure any such matters. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall in any event be obligated to cure all matters or items (i) that are mortgage or deed of trust liens or security interests against the Property, in each case granted by Seller or prior owners of the Property (and not tenants of the Property or other third parties), (ii) real estate tax liens, other than liens for taxes and assessments not yet delinquent, (iii) that have been voluntarily placed or permitted against the Property by Seller (and not tenants of the Property or other third parties) after the date of this Agreement and (iv) that are mechanic’s, materialman’s or similar liens (unless resulting from any act or omission of Buyer or any of its agents, contractors, representatives or employees or any tenant of the Property). Seller shall be entitled to apply the Purchase Price towards the payment or satisfaction of such liens, and may cure any Objection by causing the Title Company to insure against collection of the same out of the Property. More specifically, Seller shall be required to obtain Title Company endorsements against liens arising by reason of tenants’ acts or omissions, if the Title Company will issue such endorsements based on Seller’s indemnity without requirement of a monetary deposit. In the event Seller cannot obtain such endorsements by Closing, Buyer may either (x) proceed to Closing without Seller’s failure to obtain such endorsements being a default by Seller under this Agreement or (y) terminate this Agreement, in which event, the Deposit shall be returned to Buyer and neither party shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder, except as provided in Sections 4.1(d), 6.1, 9.3 and 9.9 below.

(d) If (i) Seller elects (or is deemed to have elected) not to cure any Objections raised in any notice timely delivered by Buyer to Seller pursuant to Section 4.1(b), or if (ii) Seller notifies Buyer that it elects to cure any such Objection but then does not for any reason effect such cure on or before the Closing Date as it may be extended hereunder, then Buyer, as its sole and exclusive remedy, shall have the option of terminating this Agreement by delivering written notice thereof to Seller within three (3) business days after (as applicable) (A) its receipt of Seller’s Response stating that Seller will not cure any such Objection or (B) the expiration of Seller’s Response Period if Seller does not deliver a Seller’s Response or (C) Seller’s failure to cure by the Closing Date (as it may be extended hereunder) any Objection which Seller has previously elected to cure pursuant to a Seller’s Response. In the event of such a termination, the Deposit shall be returned to Buyer, and neither party shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder except as provided in Sections 6.1, 9.3 and 9.9 below. In addition, in the event Buyer terminates this Agreement pursuant to the events listed in clause (ii) or as set forth in the last sentence of Section 4.1(c), Buyer shall have the right to recover from Seller all of the reasonable, verifiable, third-party out of pocket costs incurred by Buyer in negotiating and entering into this Agreement and investigating the Property, not to exceed the Recovery Limit in the aggregate. If no such termination notice is timely received by Seller

hereunder, Buyer shall be deemed to have waived all such Objections in which event those Objections shall become “Conditions of Title” under Section 4.1(e). If the Closing is not consummated due to Buyer’s default hereunder, Buyer shall be responsible for any title or escrow cancellation charges.

(e) At the Closing, Seller shall convey title to the Property to Buyer by deed in the form of Exhibit D attached hereto (the “Deed”) subject to no exceptions other than:

(i) Interests of tenants in possession under the Leases;

(ii) Specific matters created by or with the written consent of Buyer;

(iii) Non-delinquent liens for real estate taxes and assessments; and

(iv) Any exceptions disclosed by the Title Report and any Title Report Update which is approved or deemed approved by Buyer in accordance with this Article IV above.

All of the foregoing exceptions shall be referred to collectively as the “Conditions of Title.” Subject to the terms and conditions contained elsewhere in this Agreement, by acceptance of the Deed and the Closing of the purchase and sale of the Property, (x) Buyer agrees that it shall acquire the Property subject to any obligations of the owner of the Property from and after the Closing set forth in the Conditions of Title, and (y) Buyer agrees that Seller shall have conclusively satisfied its obligations with respect to title to the Property. The provisions of this Section shall survive the Closing.

Section 4.2 Evidence of Title.

Delivery of title in accordance with the foregoing shall be evidenced by the willingness (as reasonably determined by Buyer) of the Title Company to issue, at Closing, its Owner’s ALTA Policy of Title Insurance in the amount of the Purchase Price showing title to the Real Property vested in Buyer, subject to the Conditions of Title (the “Title Policy”). The Title Policy may contain the endorsements set forth in Schedule 4.1(b) and issuance of such endorsements shall be a condition to Buyer’s obligations hereunder. Buyer shall pay the costs for all such endorsements. Seller shall have no obligation to provide any endorsements (except endorsements procured by Seller to cure Objections Seller is required or elects to cure hereunder) or any indemnity or agreement to the Title Company or Buyer to support the issuance of the Title Policy except indemnities and agreements customarily provided by sellers of commercial properties in the Chicago metropolitan area, such as, without limitations, an affidavit and/or indemnity as to the existing tenants of the Property and any ongoing construction work at the Property and the absence of any claims or basis for claims for any mechanic’s, materialman’s or similar liens.

ARTICLE V

RISK OF LOSS AND INSURANCE PROCEEDS

Section 5.1 Minor Loss.

Buyer shall be bound to purchase the Property for the full Purchase Price as required by the terms hereof, without regard to the occurrence or effect of any damage to the Property or destruction of any improvements thereon or condemnation of any portion of the Property, provided that: (a) the cost to repair any such damage or destruction does not exceed Four Hundred Thousand and no/100 Dollars ($400,000.00) in the estimate of an architect or contractor selected by Seller and reasonably acceptable to Buyer or in the case of a condemnation, the diminution in the value of the remaining Property as a result of a partial condemnation is not material (as hereinafter defined) and (b) upon the Closing, there shall be a credit against the Purchase Price due hereunder equal to the amount of any insurance proceeds or condemnation awards collected by Seller as a result of any such damage or destruction or condemnation, plus the amount of any insurance deductible, less any sums reasonably expended by Seller toward the collection of such proceeds or awards or to protect the Property from further damage. In addition, if any applicable laws or provisions of any Leases or other contractual obligations of Seller require Seller to commence restoration or repair of the Property prior to the Closing, Seller and Buyer shall negotiate reasonably and in good faith and agree upon the procedure, plans and specifications, contractor and construction contract, and schedule for the making of such restoration or repair of the Property, in which event the sums thereafter expended by Seller in making such restoration or repair of the Property shall be deducted from the credit to Buyer against the Purchase Price at the Closing. If the consent or approval of any lender then holding a mortgage that encumbers the Property is required with respect to the plans and specifications, contractor, construction contract and/or schedule for making such restoration or repair of the Property, Seller shall be responsible for obtaining such consent or approval. If Seller is not required by any applicable laws or provisions of any Leases or other contractual obligations of Seller to commence restoration or repair of the Property prior to the Closing, then Seller shall not make any restoration or repair of the Property without Buyer’s prior written consent, which Buyer may withhold in its sole and absolute discretion. If the proceeds or awards have not been collected as of the Closing, then such proceeds or awards shall be assigned to Buyer, except to the extent needed to reimburse Seller for sums expended to collect such proceeds or awards or to repair or restore the Property as set forth above and Seller shall retain the rights to such proceeds and awards to such extent.

Section 5.2 Major Loss.

If the cost to repair the damage or destruction as specified above equals or exceeds Four Hundred Thousand and no/100 Dollars ($400,000.00) in the estimate of an architect or contractor selected by Seller and reasonably acceptable to Buyer or the diminution in the value of the remaining Property as a result of a condemnation is material, then Buyer may, at its option to be exercised within five (5) business days of Seller’s notice of the occurrence of the damage or destruction or the commencement of condemnation proceedings, either terminate this Agreement or consummate the purchase for the full Purchase Price as required by the terms hereof. If Buyer elects to terminate this Agreement by delivering written notice thereof to Seller or fails to give

Seller notice within such five (5) business day period that Buyer will proceed with the purchase, then this Agreement shall terminate, the Deposit shall be returned to Buyer and neither party shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder except as provided in Sections 6.1, 9.3 and 9.9 below. If Buyer elects to proceed with the purchase, then upon the Closing, there shall be a credit against the Purchase Price due hereunder equal to the amount of any insurance proceeds or condemnation awards collected by Seller as a result of any such damage or destruction or condemnation, plus the amount of any insurance deductible, less any sums reasonably expended by Seller toward the collection of such proceeds or awards or to protect the Property from further damage. In addition, if any applicable laws or provisions of any Leases or other contractual obligations of Seller require Seller to commence restoration or repair of the Property prior to the Closing, Seller and Buyer shall negotiate reasonably and in good faith and agree upon the procedure, plans and specifications, contractor and construction contract, and schedule for the making of such restoration or repair of the Property, in which event the sums thereafter expended by Seller in making such restoration or repair of the Property shall be deducted from the credit to Buyer against the Purchase Price at the Closing. If the consent or approval of any lender then holding a mortgage that encumbers the Property is required with respect to the plans and specifications, contractor, construction contract and/or schedule for making such restoration or repair of the Property, Seller shall be responsible for obtaining such consent or approval. If Seller is not required by any applicable laws or provisions of any Leases or other contractual obligations of Seller to commence restoration or repair of the Property prior to the Closing, then Seller shall not make any restoration or repair of the Property without Buyer’s prior written consent, which Buyer may withhold in its sole and absolute discretion. If the proceeds or awards have not been collected as of the Closing, then such proceeds or awards shall be assigned to Buyer, except to the extent needed to reimburse Seller for sums expended to collect such proceeds or awards or to repair or restore the Property as set forth above and Seller shall retain the rights to such proceeds and awards to such extent at Closing. A condemnation shall be deemed material if any portion of any net rentable area of the Property or any parking is taken, or the existing access to the Property is materially and adversely affected, permanently, or for any period longer than sixty (60) days, or if such condemnation shall entitle any tenant under the Leases to terminate its lease.

ARTICLE VI

BROKERS AND EXPENSES

Section 6.1 Brokers.

Each party represents and warrants to the other that it has not contracted with or engaged any broker or finder in connection with this transaction except for CB Xxxxxxx Xxxxx, Inc. (“Seller’s Broker”), which has been engaged by Seller. At Closing, Seller shall pay the commission due, if any, to Seller’s Broker, which shall be paid pursuant to a separate agreement between Seller and Seller’s Broker. If any other person brings a claim for a commission or finder’s fee based upon any contract with or engagement by Buyer or Seller, then the party through whom such person makes his claim shall defend the other party (the “Indemnified Party”) from such claim, and shall indemnify the Indemnified Party and hold the Indemnified Party harmless from any and all costs, damages, claims, liabilities or expenses (including without limitation, court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) incurred by the

Indemnified Party in defending against the claim. The provisions of this Section 6.1 shall survive the Closing or, if the purchase and sale is not consummated, any termination of this Agreement.

Section 6.2 Expenses.

Except as provided in Article IV above, and Sections 8.5(a) (vi) and 9.5 below, each party hereto shall pay its own expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby.

ARTICLE VII

LEASES AND OTHER AGREEMENTS

Section 7.1 Buyer’s Approval of New Leases and Agreements Affecting the Property.

Between the Effective Date and the Closing, Seller shall continue to lease the Property in the same manner as before the making of this Agreement, the same as though Seller were retaining the Property provided that Seller shall not enter into any new Lease or other agreement affecting the Property, or modify or terminate any existing Lease or other agreement affecting the Property, which will be binding on the Property or Buyer after Closing, except as required under any Lease and except for agreements which are terminable on no more than sixty (60) days’ notice without payment of any penalty or fee or other cost to Seller or Buyer, without first obtaining Buyer’s approval of the proposed action, which Buyer may withhold in its sole discretion. If Buyer fails to give Seller notice of its approval or disapproval of any such proposed action requiring its approval under this Section 7.1 within three (3) business days after Buyer receives Seller’s notice of Seller’s desire to take such action, then Buyer shall be deemed to have given its approval. Any new Lease or other agreement or amendment shall be on Seller’s standard forms for such documents.

Section 7.2 Tenant Improvement Costs, Leasing Commissions and Concessions.

With respect to any new Lease or Lease modification entered into by Seller between November 1, 2006 and the Closing Date, and with respect to any renewal or extension of any Lease, whether through the exercise of an option or otherwise, occurring between such date and the Closing Date, the costs of all tenant improvement work required to be paid or provided by the landlord, leasing commissions, grants of any free rent period or other concessions to the tenant shall be prorated over the term of the lease, renewal or extension. Seller’s share of such costs shall be based on the portion of the lease term, renewal or extension, as the case may be, occurring prior to Closing, which amount shall be a credit against the Purchase Price, and Buyer shall be responsible for the remainder of such costs. Buyer shall reimburse Seller for all such costs incurred by Seller to the extent Buyer is obligated therefor pursuant to the provisions hereof. Pursuant to the Assignment of Leases Buyer shall assume any then outstanding obligations with respect to such tenant improvements, leasing commissions and concessions. The provisions of this Section shall survive the Closing.

Section 7.3 Tenant Notices.

At the Closing, Seller shall furnish Buyer with a signed notice to be given to each tenant of the Property. The notice shall disclose that the Property has been sold to Buyer, that, after the Closing, all rents should be paid to Buyer and that Buyer shall be responsible for the entire tenant’s security deposit. The form of the notice shall be otherwise reasonably acceptable to the parties.

Section 7.4 Maintenance of Improvements and Operation of Property; Removal of Tangible Personal Property.

Seller agrees to keep its current property insurance covering the Property in effect until the Closing, Seller shall maintain all Improvements in their present condition (ordinary wear and tear and casualty excepted), and shall operate and manage the Property in a manner consistent with Seller’s practices in effect prior to the Effective Date, provided that Seller shall in no event be obligated to make any capital expenditures, except for those that are required to comply with any of the Leases or any applicable laws. Seller shall not remove any Tangible Personal Property, except as may be required for necessary repair or replacement, and replacement shall be of substantially equal or better quality and quantity as the removed item of Tangible Personal Property.

Section 7.5 Intentionally Omitted.

Section 7.6 Service Contracts.

All contracts pertaining to the operation of the Property, including all management, leasing, service and maintenance agreements and equipment leases in effect for the Property are hereinafter referred to as the “Service Contracts”. Seller is not assigning to Buyer, and Buyer is not assuming from Seller, any of the Service Contracts, all of which Seller shall cancel effective as of the Closing.

(5) an affidavit pursuant to Section 1445(b)(2) of the Code, and on which Buyer is entitled to rely, that Seller is not a “foreign person” within the meaning of Section 1445(f)(3) of the Code.

(b) At or before Closing, Buyer shall deposit into escrow the following items:

(1) immediately available funds necessary to close this transaction, including, without limitation, the Purchase Price (less the Deposit and interest thereon net of investment fees, if any, and less the amount, if any, deposited in escrow pursuant to the terms of Section 9.20) and funds sufficient to pay Buyer’s closing costs and share of prorations hereunder;

Seller and Buyer shall each execute and deposit such transfer tax declarations and such other instruments as are reasonably required by the Title Company or otherwise required to close the escrow and consummate the acquisition of the Property in accordance with the terms hereof. Seller and Buyer hereby designate Title Company as the “Reporting Person” for the transaction pursuant to Section 6045(e) of the Code

and the regulations promulgated thereunder and agree to execute such documentation as is reasonably necessary to effectuate such designation.

(d) On the Closing Date, Seller shall deliver or make available at the Property to Buyer: originals of the Leases to the extent in Seller’s possession, or copies of any Leases not in Seller’s possession together with an affidavit from Seller as to such copies being true and complete copies of the applicable Lease(s), copies of the tenant correspondence files and originals of other Due Diligence Materials only copies of which had been previously delivered to Buyer, and originals of any other items which Seller was required to furnish Buyer copies of or make available at the Property pursuant to Sections 2.1(b) or (e) above, to the extent in Seller’s possession, including Seller’s general ledger, but excluding other internal books or records which shall be retained by Seller. Seller shall deliver possession of the Property to Buyer as required hereunder. Seller shall deliver to Buyer or make available at the Property on the Closing Date keys to the Property as are in Seller’s possession to the knowledge of Seller.

Section 8.4 Estoppel Certificates.

(a) If in accordance with Article II of this Agreement Buyer elects to proceed with the purchase of the Property, then Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain estoppel certificates from each tenant of the Property substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit H or, if a tenant’s lease requires a different form, in the form required by the tenant’s lease, or as otherwise provided in this paragraph below. It shall be a condition to Buyer’s obligation to close the sale and purchase of the Property that on or before the Closing, Buyer receives a signed estoppel certificate substantially in such form from tenants occupying at least seventy-five percent (75%) of the area of the Property and the Other Property as hereinafter defined actually rented to tenants (the “Estoppel Threshold”) which must include estoppel certificates from all tenants of the Property and the Other Property who lease at least 10,000 sq. ft. in the Property or the Other Property. All estoppel certificates shall be dated no more than forty-five (45) days prior to the Closing Date.

(b) If Seller is unable to obtain and deliver sufficient tenant estoppel certificates as required under Section 8.4(a), or if the certificates received by Buyer contain material information or omissions unacceptable to Buyer in its reasonable discretion and Buyer objects thereto by written notice to Seller within two (2) business days after receipt by Buyer of the objectionable estoppel, but in any event on or before the Closing Date, then Seller will not be in default by reason thereof, and Seller may elect to extend the Closing Date by up to ten (10) business days in order to satisfy the requirement. A “knowledge” qualifier in paragraph 7 of Exhibit H shall be acceptable to the Buyer. If Seller still cannot satisfy the requirement at the end of such extended period, then Buyer may, by written notice given to Seller before the Closing, elect to terminate this Agreement and receive a refund of the Deposit or waive said condition. If Buyer so elects to terminate this Agreement, neither party shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder except as provided in Section 6.1 above and Sections 9.3 and 9.9 below. If no such notice is delivered by Buyer, Buyer shall be deemed to have waived such condition.

Section 8.5 Prorations.

(a) (i) Rents, including, without limitation, percentage rents, if any, and any additional charges and expenses payable by tenants under Leases, all as and when actually collected; water, sewer and utility charges; amounts payable under any agreements or documents that are intended to remain in effect after the Closing; annual permits and/or inspection fees (calculated on the basis of the period covered); and any other expenses of the operation and maintenance of the Property (including, without limitation, expenses prepaid by Seller and expenses already paid by Seller but which are being amortized over time by Seller and with respect to which Seller shall receive a credit at Closing in the amount of the prepaid or unamortized portion thereof), shall all be prorated as of 12:01 a.m. on the date of Closing (i.e., Buyer is entitled to the income and responsible for the expenses of the day of Closing), on the basis of a 365-day year. Buyer shall pay or reimburse Seller for the tenant improvement costs, leasing commissions, free rent and other concessions, as provided in Section 7.2 and Seller shall credit Buyer for the tenant improvements costs, leasing commissions, free rent and other concessions, as provided in Section 7.2. Anything herein contained to the contrary notwithstanding, there shall be no proration of real property taxes for the years 2006 or 2007, payable in 2007 and 2008, respectively. Buyer shall purchase the Property subject to the lien of such real property taxes, shall pay such real property taxes when due with no recourse to Seller. In addition, Buyer agrees not to invoice, or attempt to collect from, any tenant of the Property who is a tenant under a Lease where Seller (rather than some prior owner of the Property) is the landlord for 2006 real property taxes payable in 2007. Seller will furnish the tenants under the Leases with the 2007 budget of expenses prior to December 31, 2006 and the invoices submitted by Seller to the tenants under the Leases for rent and other amounts due Seller on January 1, 2007 shall reflect the expense shown in the 2007 budget.

(ii) All rents collected after the Closing shall be applied and paid as provided in this Section 8.5(a). If a tenant shall specifically designate a payment as being attributable to a specific period of time or for a specific purpose, including, without limitation, for operating expenses or real estate tax payments which were not paid or were underpaid by such tenant or for reimbursement for work performed by Seller on the tenant’s premises, such payment shall be so applied. If there is no such designation, any payment received from a tenant after Closing shall be deemed a payment of rent due after the Closing until the tenant is current on rents and sums due under the applicable Lease on or after the Closing, and then such payments shall be paid to Seller to the extent of any rent or other sums owing to Seller for periods prior to Closing. Buyer shall use reasonable efforts to collect such rents and other sums owing to Seller, but shall have no obligation to threaten or pursue any eviction or collection proceedings against any tenant. Seller retains the right to collect any such rents and

other sums (including payments due Seller on account of the reconciliation of 2006 expenses as provided in Section 8.5(a) (iii)) from tenants after Closing; provided, however, that Seller shall have no right to cause any such tenant to be evicted or to threaten any tenant with eviction or to exercise any other landlord remedy against such tenant other than to xxx for collection.

(iii) Reconciliation of insurance charges and other expenses (including taxes) owed by tenants under Leases for 2006 shall be prepared by Seller in accordance with the requirements set forth in the Leases. Seller agrees to promptly pay what is due tenants by reason of such reconciliation and shall be entitled to all amounts due from tenants on account of such reconciliation for 2006. Reconciliation of insurance charges and other expenses owed by tenants under Leases for 2007 shall be prepared by Buyer in accordance with the requirements set forth in the Leases. Buyer agrees to promptly pay what is due tenants by reason of such reconciliation and shall be entitled to all amounts due from tenants on account of such reconciliation for 2007. There shall be no such reconciliation between Seller and Buyer with respect to 2007 expenses and Buyer shall be solely responsible to tenants on account of reconciliation of 2007 expenses and shall be solely entitled to any payments owed by tenants on account thereof.

(iv) The amount of any cash security deposits held by Seller under Leases shall be credited against the Purchase Price (and Seller shall be entitled to retain such cash security deposits). Seller shall cause all necessary documents (as reasonably determined by Buyer) and fees necessary to transfer security deposits held in the form of letters of credit to be deposited by Seller in escrow on or before the date of Closing, to be delivered to Buyer upon Closing. Seller agrees to co-operate with Buyer post-Closing to effectuate the transfer of security deposits held in the form of letters of credit. Seller shall receive credits at Closing for the amount of any assignable utility or other deposits with respect to the Property. Buyer shall cause all utilities to be transferred into Buyer’s name and account at the time of Closing.

(v) Seller and Buyer hereby agree that if any of the aforesaid prorations and credits cannot be calculated accurately on the Closing Date or in the case of rents or other charges payable by tenants, such amount have not been collected, then the same shall be calculated as soon as reasonably practicable after the Closing Date or the date such amounts have been collected, and either party owing the other party a sum of money based on such subsequent proration(s) or credits shall pay said sum to the other party within thirty (30) days thereafter. Any amounts not paid within such thirty (30) day period shall bear interest from the date actually received by the payor until paid at the greater of (i) the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum or (ii) the prime rate (or base rate) reported from time to time in the

“Money Rates” column or section of The Wall Street Journal as being the base rate on corporate loans at larger United States money center commercial banks plus two (2) percent. Upon request of either party, the parties shall provide a detailed and accurate written statement signed by such party confirming the payments received by such party from tenants from and after Closing and to the manner in which such payments were applied, and shall make their books and records available for inspection by the other party during ordinary business hours upon reasonable advance notice.

(vi) Seller agrees to pay (i) ½ the Title Company’s escrow and/or closing fees (including ½ of the so-called New York Style Closing Fee), (ii) the cost of the Title Report in the amount of the Purchase Price, including the cost of Extended Coverage over all five general exceptions and including the cost of any endorsements procured by Seller to cure any Objections which Seller is obligated or permitted (and elects to) cure hereunder, (iii) state and county transfer taxes and (iv) all recording fees and other costs as provided herein with respect to clearing Seller’s title. Buyer agrees to pay (i) ½ the Title Company’s escrow and/or closing fees (including ½ of the so-called New York Style Closing Fee, (ii) the cost of title insurance beyond the costs to be paid by the Seller, including the cost of any endorsements to the required by Buyer other than extended coverage, (iii) all recording fees and taxes with respect to the Deed, (iv) all costs of Buyer’s physical inspections of the Property (environmental, engineering and so forth) and other due diligence activities, (v) all municipal transfer taxes, payable in connection with this transaction, and (vi) all costs of Survey. Except as otherwise specifically provided for in this Agreement, each party is responsible for its own attorneys’ and other professional fees. All other closing costs shall be allocated in accordance with the prevailing local custom.

(b) The parties will execute and deliver any required transfer or other similar tax declarations to the appropriate governmental entity at Closing.

(c) The provisions of this Section 8.5 shall survive the Closing.

This Agreement, together with the Exhibits and schedules hereto, contains all representations, warranties and covenants made by Buyer and Seller and constitutes the entire understanding between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof. Any prior correspondence, memoranda or agreements are replaced in total by this Agreement together with the Exhibits and schedules hereto.

Section 9.3 Entry and Indemnity.

In connection with any entry by Buyer, or its agents, employees or contractors onto the Property, Buyer shall give Seller reasonable advance notice of such entry and shall conduct such entry and any inspections in connection therewith (a) during normal business hours, (b) using all commercially reasonable steps in order to minimize interference with Seller’s business and the business of Seller’s tenants, and (c) in compliance with all applicable laws. Without limiting the foregoing, prior to any entry to perform any on-site testing, including but not limited to any borings, drillings or samplings, Buyer shall give Seller written notice thereof, including the identity of the company or persons who will perform such testing and the proposed scope and methodology of the testing. Seller shall approve or disapprove, in Seller’s sole but reasonable, discretion, the proposed testing within three (3) business days after receipt of such notice. If Seller fails to respond within such three (3) business day period, Seller shall be deemed to have disapproved the proposed testing. If Buyer or its agents, employees or contractors take any sample from the Property in connection with any such approved testing, Buyer shall provide to Seller a portion of such sample being tested to allow Seller, if it so chooses, to perform its own testing. Buyer shall permit Seller or its representative to be present to observe any testing or other inspection or due diligence review performed on or at the Property, provided that Buyer shall not be required to postpone any testing or other inspection or due diligence review if Seller is unable or unwilling to provide a representative to be present. If Buyer terminates this Agreement, except due to Seller’s default under this Agreement, Buyer shall, upon the request of Seller, promptly deliver to Seller copies of any reports relating to any testing or other inspection of the Property performed by Buyer or its agents, representatives, employees, contractors or consultants. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Buyer shall not contact any governmental authority or any tenant without allowing Seller, at Seller’s election, to have a representative participate in any telephone or other contact made by Buyer to a governmental authority or tenant and to be present at any meeting by Buyer with a governmental authority or tenant, provided that, Buyer shall not be required to postpone any such contact if Seller is unable or unwilling to provide a representative. Buyer shall maintain, and shall assure that its contractors maintain, public liability and property damage insurance in a coverage amount not less than Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000.00), insuring against liability of Buyer and its agents, employees or contractors, arising out of any entry or inspections of the Property pursuant to the provisions hereof, and Buyer shall provide Seller with evidence of such insurance coverage upon request by Seller. Buyer shall indemnify and hold Seller harmless from and against any costs, damages, liabilities, losses, expenses, liens or claims (including, without limitation, court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) arising out of or relating to any entry on the Property by Buyer, its agents, employees or contractors in the course of performing the inspections, testings or inquiries provided for in this Agreement, including, without limitation, any release of Hazardous Materials or any damage to the Property; provided that Buyer shall not be liable to Seller solely as a result of the discovery by Buyer of a pre-existing condition on the Property to the extent the activities of Buyer, its agents, representatives, employees, contractors or consultants do not exacerbate the condition. The provisions of this Section 9.3 shall be in addition to any access or indemnity agreement previously executed by Buyer in connection with the Property; provided that in the event of any inconsistency between this Section 9.3 and such other agreement, the provisions of this Section 9.3 shall govern. The foregoing indemnity shall survive for a period of nine (9) months beyond the Closing, or, if the sale is not consummated, for a period of nine (9) months beyond the termination of this Agreement. Any claim for such

indemnity that Seller may have at any time, which is not specifically asserted by written notice to Buyer within such nine (9) month period, shall not be valid or effective, and Buyer shall have no liability to Seller with respect thereto. Buyer’s right of entry, as provided in this Section 9.3, shall continue up through the date of Closing.

Section 9.4 Time.

Time is of the essence in the performance of each of the parties’ respective obligations contained herein.

Section 9.5 Attorneys’ Fees.

If either party hereto fails to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement or if any dispute arises between the parties hereto concerning the meaning or interpretation of any provision of this Agreement, whether prior to or after Closing, or if any party defaults in payment of its post-Closing obligations under this Agreement, and either party shall commence litigation in connection therewith, then the defaulting party or the party not prevailing in such dispute, as the case may be, shall pay any and all costs and expenses incurred by the other party on account of such default and/or in enforcing or establishing its rights hereunder, including, without limitation, court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements.

Section 9.6 Assignment.

Buyer’s rights and obligations hereunder shall not be assignable without the prior written consent of Seller in Seller’s sole discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer shall have the right, without the necessity of obtaining Seller’s consent but with prior written notice to Seller, to assign its right, title and interest in and to this Agreement to a separate account, or an entity owned by a separate account, of Buyer, or an entity controlling, controlled by or under common with the Buyer, at any time before the Closing Date. Buyer shall in no event be released from any of its obligations or liabilities hereunder in connection with any assignment. Seller shall not assign or otherwise transfer its interest under this Agreement and any such assignment or transfer shall be null and void and shall not confer any rights upon the purported assignee or transferee.

Section 9.7 Counterparts.

This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

Section 9.8 Governing Law.

such information to any third party. Except as may be required by law, Buyer will not divulge any such information to other persons or entities including, without limitation, appraisers, real estate brokers, or competitors of Seller. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer shall have the right to disclose information with respect to the Property to its officers, directors, employees, attorneys, accountants, environmental auditors, engineers, potential lenders, and permitted assignees under this Agreement and other consultants to the extent necessary for Buyer to evaluate its acquisition of the Property provided that Seller inform all such persons that such information is confidential and such persons have agreed to do so. Buyer shall be liable to Seller for any damages Seller may suffer by reason of the failure of any such person to keep such information confidential. If Buyer acquires the Property from Seller, either party shall have the right, subsequent to the Closing of such acquisition, to publicize the transaction (other than the parties to, or the specific economics of, the transaction) in whatever manner it deems appropriate; provided that any press release or other public disclosure regarding this Agreement or the transactions contemplated herein, and the wording of same, must be approved in advance by the other parties. The provisions of this Section shall survive any termination of this Agreement, but shall terminate at Closing if Closing occurs, except with respect to the issuance of any press release or other public disclosure describing the transactions contemplated herein. In the event the transaction contemplated by this Agreement does not close as provided herein, upon the request of Seller, Buyer shall promptly return to Seller all Due Diligence Materials provided to Buyer by Seller and, if such termination is not due to Seller’s default under this Agreement, copies of any reports concerning the physical condition of the Property obtained by Buyer (but the delivery of any such reports by Buyer shall not be an assignment of any rights of Buyer with respect to such reports or the making of any representation or warranty by Buyer concerning such reports).

Section 9.10 Interpretation of Agreement.

The article, section and other headings of this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall not be construed to affect the meaning of any provision contained herein. Where the context so requires, the use of the singular shall include the plural and vice versa and the use of the masculine shall include the feminine and the neuter.

Section 9.11 Limited Liability.

The obligations of Seller under this Agreement and under all of the Other Documents are intended to be binding only on the property of Seller and shall not be personally binding upon, nor shall any resort be had to, the private properties of any Seller Related Parties.

Section 9.12 Amendments.

This Agreement may be amended or modified only by a written instrument signed by Buyer and Seller.

Section 9.13 No Recording.

Neither this Agreement or any memorandum or short form thereof may be recorded by Buyer, except that this Agreement may be recorded as may be necessary in connection with the enforcement of Buyer’s rights under this Agreement due to Seller’s default under this Agreement.

Section 9.14 Drafts Not an Offer to Enter into a Legally Binding Contract.

The parties hereto agree that the submission of a draft of this Agreement by one party to another is not intended by either party to be an offer to enter into a legally binding contract with respect to the purchase and sale of the Property. The parties shall be legally bound with respect to the purchase and sale of the Property pursuant to the terms of this Agreement only if and when the parties have been able to negotiate all of the terms and provisions of this Agreement in a manner acceptable to each of the parties in their respective sole discretion, and both Seller and Buyer have fully executed and delivered to each other a counterpart of this Agreement (or a copy by facsimile transmission) (the “Effective Date”).

Section 9.17 No Third Party Beneficiary.

The provisions of this Agreement are not intended to benefit any third parties.

Section 9.18 Buyer’s Condition Precedent.

This Agreement shall not be binding or enforceable against either of the parties hereto unless, concurrently with the execution of this Agreement Buyer has entered into a contract or contracts satisfactory to it for the purchase of real estate adjoining the Real Property located at 000-000 Xxxxx Xxxx and 000-000 Xxxxx Xxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx (the “Other Property”), owned by Washington Commons Phase II Limited Partnership and Washington Commons Phase III Limited Partnership, both Illinois limited partnerships, respectively (whether one or more contracts, the “Other Contract”). Buyer shall not be required to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and Buyer may terminate this Agreement by written notice to Seller, unless Buyer has also consummated the transactions contemplated by the Other Contract. Provided, however, that Buyer shall be required to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement if the reason the transactions contemplated by the Other Contract do not close is Buyer’s default under the Other Contract. A default by the sellers under the Other Contract shall not be a default by Seller herein and a default by Buyer under the Other Contract shall not be a default by Buyer herein. If Buyer terminates this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.18, the Deposit shall be returned promptly to Buyer, and neither party shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder except as provided in Sections 6.1, 9.3 and 9.9 above.

Section 9.20 Illinois Bulk Sales.

At or prior to the Closing, Seller shall deliver to Buyer evidence reasonably acceptable to Buyer that the sale of the Property to Buyer hereunder is not subject to, and does not subject Buyer to liability under 35 ILCS 5/902(d) or 35 ILCS 120/5j (herein collectively referred to as the “Act”) and that no more than forty (40) days prior to the Closing, Seller shall have notified the Illinois Department of Revenue (herein referred to as the “Department”) of the intended sale and provided the Department with all other information required under the Act, including, without limitation, a copy of this Agreement, and required by the Department to make a determination of how much the Seller owes to the Department as provided in the Act, if anything. Seller shall promptly provided Buyer with a copy of such notice to the Department and with copies of all additional correspondence to and from the Department related thereto. . Seller agrees that Buyer may, at the Closing, deduct and withhold from the proceeds that are due Seller the amount necessary to comply with the withholding requirements imposed by the Act as estimated or determined by the Illinois Department of Revenue.
