Purchase
Price. The purchase price for the Property (the "Purchase Price")
is THIRTEEN MILLION ONE HUNDRED SIXTY THOUSAND AND NO/100 U.S. DOLLARS
($13,160,000.00), as adjusted by the parties pursuant to Section
2.5.
2.2. Deposit. Within two
(2) business days following the Effective Date, Purchaser shall deposit into
escrow with Xxxxxxx Title and Escrow, Inc. (alternatively, the "Escrow Agent" or
the "Title Company"), in the form of cash, certified or cashier's check or by
federal wire transfer, the sum of ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND AND NO/100 U.S. DOLLARS
($100,000.00) (the "Initial Deposit"). Once posted, the Initial Deposit shall be
refundable upon the demand of Purchaser, without any right by Seller to object
or delay such refund, in the event that Purchaser terminates this Agreement in
accordance with Section 3.7, below, or any other provision of this Agreement, on
or before 5:00 p.m., Washington, D.C. time, on the Approval Date (as defined in
Section 3.1, below). If Purchaser elects to proceed to Closing pursuant to
Section 3.7, below, on or before 5:00 p.m., Washington, D.C. time, on the
Approval Date, then promptly thereafter, Purchaser shall deposit an additional
sum of ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND AND NO/100 U.S. DOLLARS ($100,000.00) (the
"Additional Deposit") into escrow with Title Company in the form of cash,
certified or cashier's check or by federal wire transfer. The Initial Deposit
and the Additional Deposit, together with any interest earned thereon, is
hereinafter referred
to as the "Deposit." Once deposited, the Initial Deposit and the Additional
Deposit, as applicable, shall be held by the Title Company pursuant to an escrow
agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 2.2 (the
"Escrow Agreement"), and they shall be deposited in an interest-bearing escrow
account established by the Title Company and otherwise pursuant to the terms
hereof. After 5:00 p.m., Washington, D.C. time on the Approval Date, provided
Purchaser has elected to proceed to Closing pursuant to Section 3.7, below, the
entire Deposit shall be non-refundable, except as otherwise expressly provided
herein. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary,
if Purchaser terminates this Agreement following the Approval Date (a) as a
result of an event of default by Seller which continues uncured beyond any
applicable notice and cure period, (b) because any of the Conditions Precedent
(hereinafter defined) to Closing have not been satisfied, or (c) in accordance
with any of the other terms of the Agreement, the entire Deposit shall be
refundable pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement.
2
2.3.
Payment. On the
Closing Date, Purchaser shall pay to Seller the Purchase Price, subject to
adjustment for the prorations as provided in Section 7, below, and reflected on
the mutually- acceptable Settlement Statement described in Section 8,
below.
2.4. Closing. Recordation
of the Deed (as hereinafter defined), payment of the Purchase Price and the
closing hereunder (the "Closing") will take place pursuant to an escrow closing
on or about March 31, 2009, or a date mutually selected by Purchaser and Seller
(the "Closing Date") but in no event later than April 30, 2009 (the "Outside
Date"). In the event that Seller requests Closing to occur after the Closing
Date, Purchaser shall grant such extension if (i) the requested date occurs
prior to the Outside Date, (ii) Purchaser's lender consents to such extension
and (iii) Seller agrees to pay any extension fees charged by Purchaser's lender
in connection therewith. Closing shall occur at 11:00 a.m., Washington, D.C.
time on the Closing Date and shall be conducted by the Title Company at its
offices, or at such other place in Northern Virginia as may be selected by
Purchaser. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser and Seller shall endeavor to
conduct the Closing by depositing (by overnight or local courier) into escrow
with the Title Company all closing documents and other items in connection
therewith no later than the first business day immediately prior to the Closing
Date. In addition, Purchaser and Seller shall endeavor to finalize all
prorations and adjustments to the Purchase Price, and prepare and execute a
settlement statement detailing all such items and costs of Closing, no later
than two (2) business days prior to the Closing Date.
2.5.
Adjustment to Purchase
Price. The parties acknowledge that asbestos containing materials ("ACM")
are located in the Building and that the cost of remediation of ACM to be
incurred by Purchaser after the Closing is a fair and reasonable cause for
reducing the Purchase Price. Prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence
Period, Purchaser shall obtain an estimate for remediation of the ACM from Young
Environmental, or such other third party consultant mutually agreeable to Seller
and Purchaser (the "ACM Remediation Cost"). Seller agrees to reduce the Purchase
Price in the amount of the ACM Remediation Cost; provided, however, that the ACM
Remediation Cost shall not exceed SIXTY THOUSAND AND NO/100 DOLLARS
($60,000.00). Seller agrees to execute an amendment to this Agreement for the
purpose of reducing the Purchase Price pursuant to this Section 2.5. In
consideration of said reduction of the Purchase Price, Purchaser hereby waives
any and all claims for reimbursement of costs for remediation of ACM in the
Building.
2.6 Purchaser Financing.
Purchaser's obligations under this Agreement shall be contingent on Purchaser's
obtaining financing in a principal amount that is equal to the greater of
fifty-nine percent (59%) of the purchase price of the Property, or EIGHT MILLION
AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($8,000,000.00) in the form of a new loan or an assumption
and modification of existing debt secured against the Property by Virginia
Commerce Bank (the "Existing Lender") in Purchaser's sole discretion. In the
event that Existing Lender fails to notify Purchaser of its consent to the new
loan or the assumption and modification of the existing debt, on terms
acceptable to Purchaser, by 5:00 p.m. ET on the date that is one (1) business
day prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period (defined below), then
Purchaser may exercise its right to terminate this Agreement on the Approval
Date pursuant to Section 3.7.

|
INSPECTIONS
AND APPROVALS.
|
3.1.
Inspections and
Approvals. Purchaser shall have a period of time (the "Due Diligence
Period"), commencing on the Effective Date, and expiring at 5:00 p.m.,
Washington, D.C. time, on the date (the "Approval Date") which is forty-five
(45) days after the Effective Date, in which to conduct the inspections and
studies described in this Section 3. The Due Diligence Period need not last the
full forty-five (45) days and, at Purchaser's sole election, may be ended by
Purchaser upon two (2) days prior written notice to Seller.
3.2.
Access to the Property
and Indemnification by Purchaser. Seller agrees that, during the Due
Diligence Period, Seller shall permit Purchaser and Purchaser's agents and
representatives access to the Property and any tenants or other occupants of the
Property for purposes of conducting such physical and environmental and other
inspections of the Property as Purchaser shall deem necessary to properly
inspect the Property in order to determine the suitability of the Property for
Purchaser's intended use thereof, subject to advance notice of at least
twenty-four (24) hours and Seller's right to have its representative present
during such inspection. Purchaser agrees, while conducting any tests or
inspections pursuant to the terms of this Section 3.2, to use reasonable efforts
to avoid any disruption of the activities of Seller or any tenant or occupant of
the Property. Purchaser agrees to restore the Property, at Purchaser's sole cost
and expense, in the event that any inspection or test performed by Purchaser
requires or results in any physical damage to the Property. In addition,
Purchaser agrees that it shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Seller
against any and all actions, claims, losses, costs, damages and expenses
(including reasonable third party attorneys' fees) actually incurred by Seller
to the extent arising from or relating to any of the actions of Purchaser and
Purchaser's agents on the Property during the Due Diligence Period, including
without limitation, any claims for amounts owed by Purchaser to its contractors
and agents; provided, however, that Purchaser shall not be required to indemnify
Seller to the extent that any such loss, injury, liability, damage or expense
was caused by the negligence or misconduct of Seller, its employees or its
agents. The indemnification obligations of Purchaser set forth in this Section
3.2 shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

covering the Land and the Improvements thereon, prepared by a qualified surveyor
selected by Purchaser and licensed in the Commonwealth of Virginia (the
"Survey").
3.4.2.
Purchaser shall have until 5:00 p.m., Washington, D.C. time, on the Approval
Date in which to provide written notice to Seller ("Title/Survey Notice") of any
matters affecting or relating to title to the Property, including those
disclosed by the Title Commitment (collectively, the "Title Objections"), or
shown on the Survey (collectively, the "Survey Objections"), which are not
satisfactory to Purchaser, in Purchaser's sole and absolute discretion. Within
five (5) days following any Title/Survey Notice, Seller shall provide a written
response to Purchaser ("Seller's Response") stating the extent, if any, to which
Seller will undertake to resolve to the reasonable satisfaction of Purchaser any
Title Objections or Survey Objections. Seller's failure to timely deliver a
Seller's Response shall be deemed to be an election by Seller to decline to
undertake to cure any such Title Objections or Survey Objections. If Seller
declines (or is deemed to have declined) to undertake an obligation to cure any
Title Objections and/or Survey Objections, Purchaser shall have five (5) days
following the earlier to occur of (i) its receipt of Seller's Response (which
Seller's Response shall be in writing) or (ii) the fifth (5th) day after
Purchaser's delivery of a Title/Survey Notice, in which to elect, in its sole
and absolute discretion, to either (a) terminate this Agreement by written
notice to Seller, and demand and receive the Deposit, without any right by
Seller to object to or delay such refund, in which event neither party shall
thereafter have any further rights, obligations or liability hereunder, except
with respect to any obligations which expressly survive the termination
of this
Agreement, or (b) to continue this Agreement in effect, in which event the Title
Objections and/or Survey Objections that Seller has declined (or deemed to have
declined) to cure shall become Permitted Exceptions. If Purchaser fails to give
notice within said 5-day period then Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected
to terminate the Agreement pursuant to clause (a), above.
5
As used
herein, the term "Title/Survey Objection Cure Period" shall mean the ten (10)
day period following Seller's Response, in the instance where Seller timely
delivers a Seller's Response stating therein that Seller will affirmatively act
to resolve to the reasonable satisfaction of Purchaser any and/or all Title
Objections and/or Survey Objections. In the event Seller delivers written notice
to Purchaser (the "Failure to Cure Notice") that Seller is unable to cure any
Title Objections and/or Survey Objections which it has agreed to cure by 5:00
p.m., Washington, D.C. time, on the last day of the Title/Survey Objection Cure
Period, Purchaser shall have five (5) days in which to elect, in its sole and
absolute discretion to either: (a) terminate this Agreement by written notice to
Seller, and demand and receive the Deposit, without any right by Seller to
object to or delay such refund, in which event neither party shall thereafter
have any further rights, obligations or liability hereunder, except with respect
to any obligations which expressly survive the termination of this Agreement; or
(b) waive such Title Objection(s) and/or Survey Objection(s) and continue this
Agreement in effect, in which event such Title Objection(s) and/or Survey
Objection(s) shall become Permitted Exceptions. If Purchaser fails to give
notice within said 5-day period then Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected
to terminate the Agreement pursuant to clause (a), above.
3.5.
Contracts. On
or before the Approval Date, Purchaser shall notify Seller in writing as to
which of the Contracts, if any, Purchaser elects to assume at Closing (such
Contracts being herein referred to as the "Assumed Contracts"). As used herein,
the term "Contracts" shall mean all service, maintenance, supply, management,
leasing, brokerage or other contracts relating to the operation of the Property,
and all other such contracts or agreements in effect as of the Effective Date,
all of which are listed on Exhibit 3.5 attached
hereto. Purchaser shall have no liability under any Contract which Purchaser has
not expressly agreed to assume prior to the Approval Date, and Seller hereby
agrees to indemnify and hold Purchaser harmless from and against any and all
claims, damages, liabilities, obligations, costs or expenses (including
reasonable third party attorneys' fees) actually incurred by Purchaser and
arising out of any Contract which has not been assumed by Purchaser at Closing.
The foregoing indemnification obligation of Seller shall survive recordation of
the Deed and the Closing hereunder.
3.6.
Permitted
Exceptions. Purchaser shall accept title to the Property, subject only to
the following exceptions (the "Permitted Exceptions"):
3.6.1.
Those matters affecting or relating to the title to, or the survey of, the
Property: (a) to the extent shown in the Title Commitment or on the Survey, and
which were not included in a Title/Survey Notice given by Purchaser prior to the
Approval Date; (b) which were included in a Title/Survey Notice, but for which
(i) Purchaser has elected to continue this Agreement in effect notwithstanding
Seller's declination to cure in accordance with Seller's Response, or Seller's
failure to cure within the Title/Survey Objection Cure Period, in accordance
with Section 3.4.2; or (ii) Purchaser has, at Purchaser's sole option waived the
cure thereof; or (c) which Purchaser has otherwise approved in
writing;
3.6.2 All
of the Assumed Contracts and the Leases; and
3.6.3 The
lien of non-delinquent real and personal property taxes and assessments;
it being
agreed that encumbrances, liens or other matters of record that evidence, secure
or create a monetary obligation, liability or debt shall not be Permitted
Exceptions and shall be removed by Seller at or before Closing, whether or not
they were the subject of a Title/Survey Notice, for which purpose the proceeds
of the Purchase Price may be used.
6
3.7.
Intent to
Proceed. If Purchaser determines, in its sole discretion, that Purchaser
wishes to proceed to Closing hereunder, Purchaser shall provide written notice
to Seller of its intent to proceed to Closing, subject to all of the terms and
conditions of this Agreement, including, but not limited to, any termination
rights of Purchaser set forth in this Agreement providing for the termination of
this Agreement by Purchaser following the Approval Date and the satisfaction of
the Conditions Precedent to Closing, on or before 5:00 p.m., Washington, D.C.
time, on the Approval Date. Purchaser may also terminate this Agreement at any
time on or before 5:00 p.m., Washington, D.C. time, on the Approval Date by
written notice thereof to Seller. In the event that, by such date and time,
Purchaser fails to deliver written notice to Seller stating that Purchaser has
elected to proceed to Closing, such failure shall be deemed to be an election by
Purchaser not to purchase the Property and to terminate this Agreement. If this
Agreement is terminated pursuant to the terms of Section 2.6, Section 3.4.2 or
this Section 3.7, including any such termination resulting from the failure of
Purchaser to deliver written notice of its intent to proceed to Closing, (i)
Purchaser shall return to Seller any Study Materials in its possession and/or
control, (ii) Purchaser shall pay the full escrow fee charged by the Title
Company, (iii) the Deposit shall be immediately returned to Purchaser upon
demand therefor, and (iv) neither party shall thereafter have any further
rights, obligations or liability hereunder, except with respect to Purchaser's
restoration and indemnification obligations set forth in Section
3.2.
4.
SELLER'S OBLIGATIONS PRIOR TO
CLOSING. From
and after the Effective Date and until Closing,
or earlier termination of this Agreement, Seller and/or Seller's agents or
representatives shall:
4.1 Insurance. Keep the
Property insured, in an amount sufficient to satisfy any co-insurance
requirement or stipulation, against fire and other hazards covered by extended
coverage endorsement and comprehensive public liability insurance against claims
for bodily injury, death and property damage occurring in, on or about the
Property.
4.2 Operation. Operate
and maintain the Property in a manner consistent with commercially reasonable
standards, make all repairs and/or replacements in connection with any damage to
the Property, and deliver the Property to Purchaser at Closing in the condition
existing as of the Approval Date, excepting normal wear and tear.
4.3 Notices. Provide to
Purchaser, immediately upon the receipt thereof, any and all notices in any
manner relating to the Property received by Seller or its agents or
representatives from any governmental or quasi-governmental instrumentality,
insurance company, tenant under any of the Leases, vendor or other party under
any of the Contracts, or from any other entity or party.
4.4 Compliance with Law.
Take all actions with respect to the Property that are necessary to maintain the
Property's compliance with all applicable laws (including without limitation,
the Environmental Laws), orders, rules and regulations applicable to the
Property and the operation and maintenance thereof, including without limitation
making timely application for any and all permits, certificates, licenses or
other Entitlements, or any renewals of any of the same, required to legally own,
operate, occupy and maintain the Property.
4.5 Compliance with
Agreements. Take all actions necessary to comply with all of the Leases,
Contracts, Entitlements, Easements and all other agreements, covenants,
encumbrances and obligations affecting or relating to the Property and the
ownership, operation and maintenance thereof. Seller shall pay (or cause to be
paid) all utility bills, tax bills and other invoices and expenses relating to
the Property, as and when the same become due.
4.6 New Contracts. Not,
without the prior written consent of Purchaser, enter into any new Contract
affecting the Property or the maintenance, repair or operation thereof. In the
event that Purchaser (a) approves in writing any such new Contract, and (b) as a
part of such approval, expressly agrees to assume such new Contract at Closing,
such new Contract shall constitute an Assumed Contract as such term is defined
and used in this Agreement.
7
4.7 Leases. Not, without
the prior written consent of Purchaser: (a) execute any new Leases affecting the
Property, or any part thereof (the "New Leases"); (b) amend, modify or
supplement any Existing Lease; (c) terminate (except upon a default by the
tenant thereunder) or accept the surrender
of any Existing Lease; or (d) approve any sublease; provided, however, that
Seller is authorized to accept the termination of Leases at the end of their
existing terms and to expand, extend or renew any Leases pursuant to expansion,
extension or renewal options specifically contained in a Lease and properly
exercised by the tenants thereunder. From the Effective Date through the Closing
Date, Seller agrees to permit Purchaser to negotiate lease renewals with
month-to-month tenants ("Renewal Tenants") and new leases with prospective tenants
("New Tenants") on terms, and lease forms, acceptable to Purchaser (the "New
Form Lease"). Upon Seller's written request, Purchaser shall keep Seller
informed of all developments with regard to said negotiations. The New Form
Lease shall contain the following provision: "Submission of this Lease by
Landlord is not an offer to enter into this Lease but rather is a solicitation
for such an offer by Tenant. Landlord shall not be bound by this Lease until
Landlord has executed and delivered the same to Tenant." Purchaser may present
the New Form Lease to Renewal Tenants and New Tenants, and if executed by such
tenants, Seller agrees to execute the applicable lease and deliver the fully
executed lease (a "Ratified Lease") into escrow with the Title Company to be
delivered to Purchaser at Closing as an assigned lease pursuant to Section
8.1.3. In the event that this transaction does not Close, Seller may, in its
discretion, void any and all Ratified Leases or deliver the Ratified Leases to
the respective tenants, thereby giving the Ratified Leases full force and
effect. Purchaser shall pay at Closing for any brokerage commissions due in
connection with Ratified Leases assigned to Purchaser.
4.8 Removal of Personal
Property. Not, without the prior written consent of Purchaser, remove any
article of Personal Property, except as may be necessary for repairs or the
discarding of worn out or useless items; provided, however, that any such
Personal Property so removed shall be promptly returned to the Property upon its
repair and/or replaced by new Personal Property of similar quality and utility
prior to Closing.
4.9 Security Deposits.
Not, without the prior written consent of Purchaser, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, apply any of the Security
Deposits, whether or not a default of a tenant has occurred under any of the
Leases.
4.10
Encumbrances.
Not, without the prior written consent of Purchaser, grant or record any
easement,
permit, right of way, encumbrance or other interest of any kind affecting the
Property.
4.11

use of the Property during any period prior to Closing; provided, however, that
Purchaser shall act in good faith to promptly deliver any Overdue Rents to
Seller pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence. Seller shall have no
right to take any action against any of the tenants in possession of any portion
of the Property as of the Effective Date (or against any guarantors of the
obligations of such tenants under any Lease) to collect any Overdue Rents or to
otherwise exercise any remedy provided under a Lease in respect to any default
or alleged default by such tenant occurring prior to Closing. Purchaser's
obligations under this Section 7.8 to remit Overdue Rent to Seller shall
terminate and shall be of no further effect from and after the date which is
three (3) months after the Closing Date.

DAMAGE,
DESTRUCTION AND CONDEMNATION.
|
9.1.
Damage and
Destruction. Except as provided herein, Seller assumes all risk of loss
or damage to the Property by fire or other casualty, not otherwise caused by
Purchaser, until the Deed is properly recorded among the appropriate public
records. If at any time on or prior to the Closing Date any portion of the
Property is destroyed or damaged as a result of fire or any other cause
whatsoever, Seller shall promptly give written notice thereof to Purchaser. In
the event that (a) the total cost to repair or restore such destruction or
damage, as determined by Seller's insurance claim adjuster, exceeds $100,000,
and/or (b) the estimated time to restore or repair such destruction or damage,
as determined by Seller's insurance claim adjuster, exceeds ninety (90) days,
and/or (c) any tenant under any of the Leases has the right to terminate its
lease as a result of the damage or destruction of the Property, Purchaser shall
have the right to terminate this Agreement by written notice to Seller within
ten (10) days following the date upon which Purchaser receives Seller's written
notice of the destruction or damage. If (i) such destruction or damage can be
repaired or restored for $100,000 or less, and can be repaired in less than
ninety (90) days or if no tenant has terminated its lease as a result of the
damage or destruction to the property, or (ii) the cost of such repair or
restoration shall exceed $100,000, and/or the time to complete the repair and
restoration of the Property shall exceed ninety (90) days, but Purchaser does
not elect to so terminate this Agreement within said ten (10) day period, this
Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and the parties shall proceed to
Closing without any reduction or adjustment in the Purchase Price, except that
all insurance proceeds will be assigned to Purchaser and Seller will pay to
Purchaser any deductible under Seller's insurance policy.
18
9.2.
Condemnation.
Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Agreement, in
the event, at any time on or prior to the Closing Date, any action or proceeding
is filed, under which the Property, or any portion thereof, may be taken
pursuant to any law, ordinance or regulation or by condemnation or the right of
eminent domain, Seller shall promptly give to Purchaser written notice thereof
(which notice shall describe the type of action being taken against the
Property, and which portions of the Property will be affected thereby), together
with a true and complete copy of any writing received by Seller in respect
thereto, and Purchaser shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by
written notice to Seller within ten (10) days following the date of Seller's
written notice of such action or proceeding, and demand and receive the return
of the Deposit without any right by the Seller to object to, or delay, such
return. If Purchaser does not elect to so terminate this Agreement within said
ten (10) day period, this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and
the parties shall proceed to Closing without any reduction or adjustment in the
Purchase Price, except that all condemnation proceeds will be assigned to
Purchaser at Closing.
10.
|
DEFAULT
AND REMEDIES.
|
10.1.
Purchaser
Default. lf, after the Approval Date, Purchaser shall fail or refuse to
purchase the Property in violation of Purchaser's obligations hereunder for any
reason other than a default by Seller under this Agreement or a failure of
condition including the Conditions Precedent to Closing pursuant to Section 6,
above, and provided that Seller is then ready, willing and able to proceed to
Closing, has performed all of its material obligations hereunder and all
Conditions Precedent to Closing hereunder have been satisfied (and Seller's
delivery of its documents required for Closing into escrow pending Purchaser's
performance shall be deemed to satisfy the foregoing requirements), Seller shall
have as its sole remedy the right to terminate this Agreement and receive the
full amount of the Deposit and all interest earned thereon pursuant to the
Escrow Agreement. Seller and Purchaser acknowledge and agree that (a) it would
be extremely difficult to accurately determine the amount of damages suffered by
Seller as a result of Purchaser's default hereunder; (b) the Deposit constitutes
a fair and reasonable amount to be received by Seller as agreed and liquidated
damages for Purchaser's default under this Agreement, as well as a fair,
reasonable and customary amount to be paid as liquidated damages to a seller in
an arm's length transaction of the type contemplated by this Agreement upon a
default by the purchaser thereunder; (c) receipt by Seller of the Deposit upon
Purchaser's default hereunder shall not constitute a penalty or a forfeiture;
and (d) Seller waives all other claims for damages except for any claims of
indemnification which survive termination of this Agreement.
10.2.
Seller Default.
In the event that Purchaser is then ready, willing and able to proceed to
Closing and has performed all of its material obligations hereunder, and: (a)
Seller shall fail to sell, transfer and assign the Property to Purchaser for any
reason when obligated to do so under this Agreement (other than as occasioned by
Purchaser's default of its obligations hereunder), and/or (b) Seller shall fail
to perform any other material obligation of Seller hereunder, and/or (c) Seller
shall materially breach any warranty, or misrepresent any representation, made
or granted by Seller under this Agreement or any document or instrument given in
connection herewith, and if Seller shall fail to cure any of the same within the
earlier of (i) two (2) business days prior to the Outside Date, or (ii) fifteen
(15) days following Purchaser's written notice thereof, describing such
misrepresentation, performance failure or breach in reasonable detail and the
same is not barred by the provisions of Section 5.4, above, Purchaser shall be
entitled, as its sole remedies hereunder, to: (x) seek specific performance of
such obligation, warranty or representation, (y) terminate this Agreement and
demand and receive the return of the Deposit pursuant to the Escrow Agreement,
to the extent that Closing has not yet occurred, or (z) to the extent that
Closing has occurred, institute any action available to Purchaser at law or in
equity to recover its actual and consequential damages as a result of such
performance failure, breach or misrepresentation by Seller, where said damages
(exclusive of attorneys' fees) shall be limited to $250,000. The foregoing
limitation on damages shall not apply in the event that a court of competent
jurisdiction determines that Purchaser's damages result fraud by
Seller.
10.3.
Attorneys'
Fees. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in the
event that either Seller or Purchaser, as the case may be, shall bring a lawsuit
against the other party for breach of such party's obligations under this
Agreement, the losing party shall pay the prevailing party's costs and expenses
incurred in connection with such litigation, including without limitation
reasonable attorneys' fees; provided however, that such costs and expenses shall
not exceed that amount determined
by the court to bear a reasonable relationship to the substance of the issues in
dispute on which the prevailing party has succeeded, and the remedy granted to
the prevailing party. The "prevailing party" shall be determined by the court
hearing such matter.
19
11. NOTICES. Any notice required
or permitted to be given hereunder must be in writing and shall be deemed to be
given (a) when hand delivered, or (b) one (1) business day after pickup by
United Parcel Service (Overnight) or Federal Express, or another similar
overnight express service, or (c) when transmitted by email, telecopy or
facsimile, provided that a counterpart of such notice is also delivered within

hereof, and no alteration, modification or interpretation hereof shall be
binding unless in writing and signed by both parties.
12.2.
Severability.
If any provision of this Agreement or its application to any party or
circumstances
shall be determined by any court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid and
unenforceable to any
extent, the remainder of this Agreement or the application of such provision to
such person or circumstances,
other than those as to which it is so determined invalid or unenforceable, shall
not be affected
thereby, and each provision hereof shall be valid and shall be enforced to the
fullest extent permitted by law.
20
12.3.
Applicable Law.
This Agreement shall be construed and enforced in accordance with the internal
laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia.
12.4.
Assignment.
Purchaser shall not have any right to assign its rights or obligations under
this Agreement without the prior written consent of Seller; provided, however,
Seller's consent shall not be required for any assignment by Purchaser of its
rights and obligations under this Agreement to any person or entity that is an
Affiliate of Purchaser. For purposes of this Section 12.4, an "Affiliate" shall
be (i) a business entity in which Purchaser holds at least twenty-five percent
(25%) of the total equity interests of such entity; (ii) a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Purchaser; or (iii) an entity that is otherwise owned or

through ownership of voting securities or by contract. In the event of an
assignment of this Agreement by Purchaser to an Affiliate, Purchaser shall
promptly deliver to Seller evidence of the assignment and satisfaction of the
elements required to establish that the assignee is an Affiliate of Purchaser.
Any assignment or attempted assignment of this Agreement or the rights and
obligations hereunder other than strictly in accordance with the provisions of
this Section 12.4 shall be null and void and of no force or effect.

requests from the media for information relating to the transaction contemplated
herein without the prior written consent of Purchaser.

permitted assigns.

irrespective of any reliance thereon, change of position or partial performance.

and the actual execution thereof by Seller and delivery to Purchaser by Seller
shall similarly have no binding force and effect on Purchaser unless and until
Purchaser shall have executed this Agreement and a counterpart hereof executed
by Purchaser and Seller shall have been delivered to Seller.

waiver of any breach of any agreement or provision contained herein shall be
deemed a waiver of any preceding or succeeding breach of any other agreement or

any other obligation or act.
