Title Insurer shall deliver to Purchaser a standard title policy in conformance
with the previously delivered Title Commitment, subject only to Permitted
Exceptions (excluding, however, the Permitted Exceptions described in subclause
(g) above) and Unpermitted Exceptions waived in writing by Purchaser ("Title
Policy"). The Title Policy shall be conclusive evidence of good title as
therein shown as to all matters to be insured by the Title Policy, subject only
to the exceptions and requirements therein stated. Purchaser and Seller shall
equally divide the costs of the Title Commitment and Title Policy and Purchaser
shall pay for the cost of any endorsements to, or extended coverage on, the
Title Policy as requested by Purchaser or Purchaser's lender.
3.2 Purchaser has received an ALTA survey of the Property prepared by

3.3 The obligations of Purchaser and Seller to pay various costs set
forth in Paragraphs 3.1 and 3.2 shall survive the termination of this
Agreement.
3.4 Notwithstanding the terms of this Paragraph 3 or anything to the
contrary contained herein or in the Escrow Agreement, if prior to the end of
the Inspection Period, Purchaser conducts a review of the Title Commitment or
Survey and finds any of the title exceptions or survey exceptions referred to
therein unacceptable, Purchaser shall be entitled to exercise its right to
terminate this Agreement in accordance with the provisions of Paragraph 7.1
below.
4. PAYMENT OF CLOSING COSTS.
4.1 In addition to the costs set forth in Paragraphs 3.1 and 3.2,
Purchaser and Seller shall equally divide the costs of the documentary or

and all other stamps, intangible, transfer, documentary, recording, sales tax
and surtax imposed by law with reference to any other sale documents delivered
in connection with the sale of the Property to Purchaser.
5. CONDITION OF TITLE.
5.1 If, prior to Closing (as hereinafter defined), a date-down to the
Title Commitment discloses any new Unpermitted Exceptions which, in the
aggregate, do not exceed $25,000 (each, a "Minor Unpermitted Exception"),
Seller shall, at Seller's expense, bond over, cure and/or have such Minor
Unpermitted Exceptions removed from the Title Commitment or have the Title
Insurer commit to insure against loss or damage that may be occasioned by such
Minor Unpermitted Exceptions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such date down
to the Title Commitment discloses any new Unpermitted Exceptions which, in the
aggregate, equal or exceed $25,000, Seller shall have the right, but not the
obligation, to bond over, cure and/or have such exceptions removed from the
Title Commitment or to have the Title Insurer commit to insure against loss or
damage that may be occasioned by such Unpermitted Exceptions. If Seller fails
to bond over, cure or have any Unpermitted Exception removed or have the Title
Insurer commit to insure as specified above within five (5) business days from
the date of the date down to the Title Commitment, Purchaser may terminate this
Agreement upon written notice to Seller within three (3) days after the
expiration of such five (5) business day period; provided, however, and
notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, if the Unpermitted
Exception which gives rise to Purchaser's right to terminate was recorded
against the Property as a result of the affirmative action of Seller with the
intention of preventing the sale (and not by any unrelated third party) or if
Seller is able to bond over, cure or remove a Minor Unpermitted Exception for a
cost not to exceed $25,000 or the Title Insurer is willing to insure over a
Minor Unpermitted Exception for a cost not to exceed $25,000 in accordance with
the terms hereof and Seller fails to expend such funds in either case, then
Purchaser shall have the additional rights contained in Paragraph 14 herein.
Absent notice from Purchaser to Seller in accordance with the preceding
sentence, Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected to take title subject to
said Unpermitted Exception, without any reduction in or setoff against the
Purchase Price as a result thereof. If Purchaser terminates this Agreement in
accordance with the terms of this Paragraph.
5.1, this Agreement shall terminate without further action of the parties
and all Xxxxxxx Money theretofore deposited into the escrow by Purchaser,
together with any interest accrued thereon, shall be returned to Purchaser, and
neither party shall have any further liability to the other, except for those
covenants and obligations that specifically survive termination of this
Agreement.
5.2 Seller agrees to convey fee simple title to the Property to Purchaser
by special warranty deed ("Deed") (in the form attached hereto as Exhibit G) in
recordable form subject only to the Permitted Exceptions and any Unpermitted
Exceptions not objected to by Purchaser in accordance with Paragraph 5.1 above.
Evidence of title shall be the issuance by the Title Company at Closing of its
ALTA Owner's Policy of Title Insurance in a form reasonably acceptable to Buyer
insuring that fee title to the Property is vested in Purchaser, subject only to
the Permitted Exceptions and Unpermitted Exceptions not objected to by
Purchaser in accordance with Paragraph 5.1 above.
6.CONDEMNATION, EMINENT DOMAIN, DAMAGE AND CASUALTY.
6.1 Except as provided in the indemnity provisions contained in Paragraph
7.1 of this Agreement, Seller shall bear all risk of loss with respect to
theProperty through the Closing. Seller agrees to maintain its existing "all
risk" replacement cost casualty insurance and rent loss insurance in place
until the Closing Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of damage
to the Property by fire or other casualty prior to the end of the Inspection
Period, repair of which would cost less than or equal to $150,000 (as
determined by Seller in good faith) ("Minor Damage"), Purchaser shall not have
the right to terminate its obligations under this Agreement by reason thereof,
but Seller shall have the right to elect to either repair and restore the
Property if such repair or restoration may be completed prior to the Closing
Date or to assign and transfer to Purchaser on the Closing Date all of Seller's
right, title and interest in and to all insurance proceeds paid or payable to
Seller on account of such fire or casualty plus the amount of Seller's
insurance deductible; provided, however, if Minor Damage occurs after the end
of the Inspection Period, Purchaser may direct Seller to either repair and
restore the Property if such repair or restoration may be completed prior to
the Closing Statement or to cause Seller to assign and transfer to Purchaser on
the Closing Date all of Seller's right, title and interest in and to all
insurance proceeds paid or payable to Seller on account of such fire or
casualty plus the amount of the Seller's insurance deductible. Seller shall
promptly notify Purchaser in writing of any such fire or other casualty and
Seller's estimate of the cost to repair the damage caused thereby. In the event
of damage to the Property by fire or other casualty prior to the Closing Date,
repair of which would cost in excess of $150,000 (as determined by Seller in
good faith), then this Agreement may be terminated at the option of Purchaser,
which option shall be exercised, if at all, by Purchaser's written notice
thereof to Seller within ten (10) business days after Purchaser receives
written notice of such fire or other casualty from Seller and Seller and
Purchaser agree upon the amount of such damages, and upon the exercise of such
option by Purchaser this Agreement shall terminate without further action by
the parties, the Xxxxxxx Money deposited by Purchaser shall be returned to
Purchaser together with interest thereon, and neither party shall have any
further liability or obligations hereunder, except for those covenants and
obligations which expressly survive termination of this Agreement. In the
event that Purchaser does not exercise the option to terminate in accordance
with this Paragraph 6.1, the Closing shall take place on the Closing Date and
Seller shall assign and transfer to Purchaser on the Closing Date all of
Seller's right, title and interest in and to all insurance proceeds paid or
payable to Seller on account of the fire or casualty and shall pay to Purchaser
the amount of Seller's insurance deductible. Notwithstanding anything contained
herein to the contrary, Seller's obligation to transfer all insurance proceeds
paid to Seller as set forth more fully in this Paragraph 6.1 shall survive the
Closing and the recording of the Deed.
6.2 Except for the pending condemnation action described on Exhibit N
attached hereto (the "Pending Condemnation Action"), if between the date of
this Agreement and the Closing Date, any condemnation or eminent domain
proceedings are initiated which might result in the taking of any part of the
Property or the taking or closing of any right of access to the Property,
Seller shall immediately notify Purchaser of such occurrence. In the event that
the taking of any part of the Property shall: (i) impair access to the
Property; (ii) cause any non-compliance with any applicable law, ordinance,
rule or regulation of any federal, state or local authority or governmental
agencies having jurisdiction over the Property or any portion thereof; or (iii)
impair the use of the Property as it is currently being operated (hereinafter
collectively referred to as a "Material Event"), Purchaser may:
6.2.1 terminate this Agreement by written notice to Seller, in
which event the Xxxxxxx Money deposited by Purchaser, together with interest
thereon, shall be returned to Purchaser and all rights and obligations of the
parties hereunder with respect to the closing of this transaction will cease,
except for those covenants and obligations hereunder which expressly survive
termination of this Agreement; or
6.2.2 proceed with the Closing, in which event Seller shall
assign to Purchaser all of Seller's right, title and interest in and to any
award made or to be made in connection with such condemnation or eminent domain
proceedings. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary,
Seller's obligation to transfer Seller's interest in such award as set forth
more fully in this Paragraph 6.2.2 shall survive the Closing and the recording
of the Deed.
Purchaser shall then notify Seller, within five (5) business days after
Purchaser's receipt of Seller's notice, whether Purchaser elects to exercise
its rights under Paragraph 6.2.1 or Paragraph 6.2.2. Closing shall be delayed,
if necessary, until Purchaser makes such election. If Purchaser fails to make
an election within such five (5) business day period, Purchaser shall be deemed
to have elected to proceed with Closing in accordance with Paragraph 6.2.2. If
between the date of this Agreement and the Closing Date, any condemnation or
eminent domain proceedings are initiated which do not constitute a Material
Event, Purchaser shall be required to proceed with the Closing, in which event
Seller shall assign to Purchaser all of Seller's right, title and interest in
and to any award made in connection with such condemnation or eminent domain
proceedings.
6.3 Purchaser and Seller acknowledge and agree that the Property is
subject to the Pending Condemnation Action. At closing, Seller shall assign to
Purchaser all of Seller's right, title and interest in and to any award made or
to be made in connection with the Pending Condemnation Action. Provided that
Purchaser closes on the purchase of the Property pursuant to this Agreement,
any award collected by Seller shall be deemed held in trust for the benefit of
Purchaser and shall be delivered to Purchaser promptly upon the later of the
Seller's receipt or the Closing. Notwithstanding the terms of this Section 6.3
or anything to the contrary contained herein, or in the Escrow Agreement, if
prior to the end of the Inspection Period, Purchaser conducts a review of the
Pending Condemnation Action and finds it unacceptable for any reason, Purchaser
shall be entitled to exercise its right to terminate this Agreement in
accordance with the provisions of Paragraph 7.1 below.

costs of appeal) (collectively, "Claims") suffered or incurred by Seller or
Affiliates of Seller for injury to persons or property caused by Purchaser's
investigations, tests, studies and inspections of the Property, except to the
extent such Claims are caused by or result from the negligence or wilfull
misconduct of Seller or its affiliates. Purchaser shall undertake its
obligation to defend set forth in the preceding sentence using attorneys
selected by Purchaser and reasonably acceptable to Seller. Prior to commencing
any such tests, studies and investigations, Purchaser shall furnish to Seller a

this Agreement by giving written notice of such termination to Seller at any
time prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period. If written notice is
not given by Purchaser pursuant to this Paragraph 7.1 prior to the expiration
of the Inspection Period, then the right of Purchaser to terminate this
Agreement pursuant to this Paragraph 7.1 shall be waived. If Purchaser
terminates this Agreement by written notice to Seller prior to the expiration

of all studies, reports and other investigations obtained by Purchaser

nor Seller shall have any right, obligation or liability under this Agreement,
except for those covenants and obligations which expressly survive the
termination of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to

and accuracy or any Purchaser's Reports and Purchaser has not undertaken any
independent investigation as to the truth or accuracy thereof, and (ii) Seller

such representation is materially true as of Closing, or sets forth the reason
that any such representation or warranty is no longer true.
10. ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATES.
10.1 Seller agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain tenant
estoppel certificates in the form of Exhibit M ("Tenant Certificates") for
tenants listed on the rent roll attached hereto as Exhibit C. If Seller is
unable to obtain Tenant Certificates from each Tenant occupying, or having the
right to occupy, 10,000 rentable square feet or more in the Improvements and at
least seventy-five percent (75%) of the other tenants (the "Required Tenants"),
Seller shall be obligated to deliver to Purchaser a Seller Tenant Certificate
for such Required Tenants who failed to execute and return a Tenant
Certificate. As used herein, "Seller Tenant Certificate" shall mean a Tenant
Certificate signed to Seller with respect to a particular Tenant which failed
to execute and deliver a Tenant Certificate.
10.2 Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the
representations and warranties contained in any Seller Tenant Certificate
executed by Seller (i) shall be made only to the knowledge of both Seller as
set forth in Paragraph 17 hereof, and (ii) shall be subject to the provisions
of Paragraph 18 hereof.
10.3 Upon receipt after Closing by Purchaser of a Tenant Certificate
containing the information herein required from a tenant under a Lease for whom
Seller has executed and delivered a Seller Tenant Certificate at Closing, or
from any other tenant or tenants which would, in computing the Required Amount,
negate the need for any or all of the Seller Tenant Certificates, any Seller
Tenant Certificate executed and delivered by Seller at Closing which is no
longer needed in achieving the Required Amount shall become null and void, and
the Tenant Certificates received from the tenant or tenants shall be
substituted therefor.
10.4 Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement, the obligations
of Purchaser to purchase the Property from Seller shall be subject to
Purchaser's receipt of Tenant Certificates from the Required Tenants on or
before the Closing. This Agreement may be terminated by Purchaser if such
Tenant Certificates from the Required Tenants are not delivered to Purchaser at
or before the Closing. If Purchaser terminates this Agreement as aforesaid,
all Xxxxxxx Money theretofore deposited into escrow by Purchaser, together with
interest accrued thereon, shall be returned to Purchaser, and neither party
shall have any further liability to the other, except for those covenants and
obligations that specifically survive the termination of this Agreement.
11. SERVICE CONTRACTS. On the Closing Date, Seller shall assign the Service
Contracts to Purchaser, and Purchaser shall assume in writing responsibility of
the obligations arising from and after the Closing Date under the Service
Contracts. Seller shall use reasonable efforts to obtain any required consent
with respect to the assignment of the Service Contracts; provided, however,
that Seller's inability to obtain such approval shall not be a default
hereunder or a condition precedent to Purchaser's obligations to close
hereunder.
12. LEASING OF PROPERTY. Prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period,
Seller shall advise Purchaser of the terms of any new lease, modification of
lease or extension of lease that Seller intends to execute at least three (3)
business days prior to Seller's execution of the same and shall deliver to
Purchaser a copy of any new leases or modifications or extensions executed by
Seller from and including the date hereof through the end of the Inspection
Period, together with information as to any tenant improvement obligations and
leasing commissions, and such other information as Purchaser may reasonably
require. Such new leases or lease modifications and extensions shall be
included in the definition of Leases and Purchaser shall be responsible to pay
for all leasing commissions, tenant improvement costs or other costs and
expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) incurred by Seller with respect
to such leases. After the expiration of the Inspection Period, Seller shall not
enter into any lease for any portion of the Property or any modification,
extension or amendment to any Lease without first obtaining the prior consent
of Purchaser, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. If Purchaser
has not responded within five (5) business days of receipt of a request by
Seller, Purchaser's consent shall be deemed given. If Purchaser closes the
transaction contemplated by this Agreement, Purchaser shall be responsible to
pay for all leasing commission, tenant improvement costs or other costs and
expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) incurred by Seller with respect
to any such lease approved by Purchaser. Seller agrees to pay any outstanding
brokerage commissions now or hereafter due or payable with respect to the
existing term of any Lease. Seller does not represent or warrant that any
particular Lease will be in effect at Closing or that the tenant will have
performed the tenant's obligations thereunder. The termination of any Lease
prior to Closing by reason of a tenant's default will not affect the
obligations of Purchaser under this Agreement in any manner, or entitle
Purchaser to an abatement of or credit against the Purchase Price, or give rise
to any other claim by Purchaser, and if any space in the Improvements is vacant
on the Closing Date, Purchaser will accept the Premises subject to the vacancy;
provided, however, that if Seller terminates any Lease which covers 10,000 or
more rentable square feet of space after the last day of the Inspection Period
through the Closing Date, Purchaser shall have the right to terminate this
Agreement by giving written notice of such termination to Seller at any time
through the Closing Date. If Purchaser terminates this Agreement pursuant to
the prior sentence, the Xxxxxxx Money deposited by Purchaser shall be
immediately paid to Purchaser, together with any interest earned thereon, less
the sum of One Hundred and No/100 Dollars ($100.00) which shall be paid to
Seller in consideration for this Agreement and neither Purchaser nor Seller
shall have any right, obligation or liability under this Agreement, except for
those covenants and obligations which expressly survive the termination of this
Agreement.
13. DEFAULT BY PURCHASER.
ALL XXXXXXX MONEY DEPOSITED INTO THE ESCROW IS TO SECURE THE TIMELY
PERFORMANCE BY PURCHASER OF ITS OBLIGATIONS AND UNDERTAKINGS UNDER THIS
AGREEMENT. IN THE EVENT OF A DEFAULT OF PURCHASER UNDER THE PROVISIONS OF THIS
AGREEMENT, SELLER SHALL RETAIN ALL OF THE XXXXXXX MONEY AND THE INTEREST
THEREON AS SELLER'S SOLE RIGHT WITH RESPECT TO DAMAGES OR ANY OTHER REMEDY,
EXCEPT FOR THOSE COVENANTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF PURCHASER WHICH EXPRESSLY SURVIVE
TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT. THE PARTIES HAVE AGREED THAT SELLER'S ACTUAL
DAMAGES, IN THE EVENT OF A DEFAULT BY PURCHASER, WOULD BE EXTREMELY DIFFICULT
OR IMPRACTICAL TO DETERMINE. THEREFORE, BY PLACING THEIR INITIALS BELOW, THE
PARTIES ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE XXXXXXX MONEY HAS BEEN AGREED UPON, AFTER
NEGOTIATION, AS THE PARTIES' REASONABLE ESTIMATE OF SELLER'S DAMAGES.
14. SELLER'S DEFAULT
IF THIS SALE IS NOT COMPLETED BECAUSE OF SELLER'S DEFAULT, PURCHASER'S SOLE
REMEDY SHALL BE THE RETURN OF ALL XXXXXXX MONEYTOGETHER WITH ANY INTEREST
ACCRUED THEREON, AND UPON THE RETURN OF THE XXXXXXX MONEY THIS AGREEMENT SHALL
TERMINATE WITHOUT FURTHER ACTION OF THE PARTIES AND THE PARTIES SHALL HAVE NO
FURTHER LIABILITY TO EACH OTHER AT LAW OR IN EQUITY, EXCEPT FOR THOSE COVENANTS
AND OBLIGATIONS WHICH EXPRESSLY SURVIVE TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT.
NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING CONTAINED HEREIN TO THE CONTRARY, IF SELLER'S DEFAULT
RESULTS FROM (i) ITS (AND NOT AN UNRELATED THIRD PARTY'S) AFFIRMATIVE ACTION
DONE WITH THE INTENTION OF PREVENTING THE SALE WHICH RESULTS IN THE RECORDING
OF AN ENCUMBRANCE AGAINST THE PROPERTY AND WHICH GIVES RISE TO PURCHASER'S
RIGHT TO TERMINATE THIS AGREEMENT PURSUANT TO PARAGRAPH 5 HEREOF; (ii) ITS
FAILURE TO EXPEND UP TO $25,000 IF (a) SELLER IS ABLE TO BOND OVER, CURE OR
REMOVE A MINOR UNPERMITTED EXCEPTION FOR A COST NOT TO EXCEED $25,000 OR (b)
THE TITLE INSURER IS WILLING TO INSURE OVER A MINOR UNPERMITTED EXCEPTION FOR A
COST NOT TO EXCEED $25,000 IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS HEREOF OR (iii) ITS
REFUSAL TO DELIVER THE DEED, THEN PURCHASER WILL BE ENTITLED TO XXX FOR
SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE. IN NO EVENT SHALL SELLER BE LIABLE FOR ANY ACTUAL,
PUNITIVE, SPECULATIVE OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES RESULTING FROM ANY DEFAULT BY
SELLER. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY CONTAINED HEREIN, BUT SUBJECT
TO THE LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY CONTAINED IN PARAGRAPH 18, IN THE EVENT THE
CLOSING OCCURS AND IN THE EVENT OF A BREACH BY SELLER OF ANY REPRESENTATION,
WARRANTY, COVENANT, AGREEMENT, PRORATION OR REPRORATION OBLIGATION OR INDEMNITY
WHICH SURVIVES CLOSING OR OF ANY FRAUD OR INTENTIONAL MISREPRESENTATION BY
SELLER,, THE PURCHASER SHALL HAVE ALL RIGHTS AND REMEDIES AT LAW OR AT EQUITY;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT IN EVENT SHALL SELLER'S LIABILITY UNDER ANY SUCH
REPRESENTATION, WARRANTY, COVENANT, AGREEMENT, PRORATION, REPRORATION
OBLIGATION OR INDEMNITY MADE HEREUNDER OR UNDER ANY CLOSING DOCUMENT EXCEED TO
$650,000 ("SELLER'S MAXIMUM LIABILITY").

real and personal property taxes prorated on a "net" basis (i.e. adjusted for

Date prorated on a "net" basis, as set forth above; and all other items of

to be prorated is not then ascertainable, the adjustments thereof shall be on
the basis of the most recent ascertainable data. If any ongoing real estate
tax contest has not been finalized as of the Closing Date, Purchaser and Seller
agree that the tax xxxx existing prior to the contest, shall be the most recent
data for the tax year being contested and (i) Purchaser agrees to re-prorate
such amount as it relates to the real estate tax proration for the current tax
year to the extent such tax contest is successful. All other prorations will

indebtedness is paid in full. Within ten (10) days following each receipt

Purchaser shall not be obligated to incur any expense, terminate any Lease or
institute eviction or legal proceedings to collect "post-closing receipts."
Purchaser shall promptly deliver to Seller any Post-Closing Receipts owing to
Seller and not previously delivered to Seller in accordance with the terms
hereof. Purchaser shall provide Seller with any information reasonably
necessary to verify the accuracy of the Post-Closing Receipts reconciliation
statement and upon the verification of additional funds owing to Seller,
Purchaser shall pay to Seller said additional Post-Closing Receipts. Seller
