Promptly after the Effective Date, Seller shall order, and deliver to Buyer upon receipt, (i) a current survey, which shall be certified according to ALTA standards or other standards substantially equivalent thereto (“Survey”), and (ii) a title insurance commitment with respect to the Property (“Title Commitment”).

If Seller is unable to cure the defect or other matter so objected to by Buyer to the reasonable satisfaction of Buyer, Buyer shall have the right, as its sole remedy on account thereof, to either (i) waive such defect or other matter and take title to the Property without any adjustment in the Purchase Price, or (ii) terminate this Agreement and receive a return of the Deposit, provided that if Buyer elects to terminate this Agreement Buyer notifies Seller of its election to terminate within 5 business days after the Seller’s notice (or by the Closing Date defined in §5.03 hereof, if earlier), failing which option (i) will be applicable. In the event that Buyer fails to initially notify Seller in writing of a defect or other objectionable matter within the prescribed time as described above, or Buyer fails to terminate the Agreement within the prescribed time upon Seller’s failure to cure the defect or other matter to Buyer’s reasonable satisfaction, Buyer shall be deemed to have automatically waived any objection to the state of title to the Property or to any matter shown on the Survey and to have agreed to proceed to closing in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(c) Seller shall transfer to Buyer a credit against the Purchase Price equal to the total amount held by the Landlord as cash security deposit money under tenant leases in connection with the Property. Buyer shall pay or credit to Seller at closing an amount
12
equal to the amount of any utility or other deposits posted or held by utility suppliers or other parties with respect to the Property, and Seller shall assign to Buyer all rights to receipt or return of such deposits. All leasing commissions and tenant improvement costs arising in connection with leases, lease amendments or other agreements with tenants which are entered into by Seller on or after the Effective Date and before closing shall be assumed and paid by Buyer, with an adjustment of the Purchase Price to be made at closing in order to credit to Seller any payments of such amounts made by Seller prior to closing. In addition, Buyer shall assume and pay, and hereby indemnifies Seller from, any commissions or fees becoming payable to brokers or agents after closing, including commissions or fees which become payable after closing on account of property visits, lease negotiations or other broker or agent activities taking place prior to closing.
(d) The obligations under this section shall survive closing. In the event that any errors in prorations or adjustments made at closing are discovered after closing, the parties shall promptly re-adjust the subject amounts, with such payments to be made between the parties as are necessary to correct the errors. In all events, the parties shall make such adjustments, or confirm in writing that no such adjustments are necessary, within 120 days after the end of the calendar year in which the closing occurs.
5.08 Closing Costs. Buyer shall pay any and all transfer, recordation, documentary stamp and other similar taxes and charges imposed in connection with the delivery and recordation of a deed for the Property and otherwise in connection with this transaction. In addition, Buyer shall pay all costs of the examination of title and all title insurance policy premiums (including the costs of endorsements), any costs of obtaining a current survey of the Property, and any other costs of Buyer’s due diligence with respect to the Property. Seller and Buyer shall each pay the costs of its own counsel.
6. Casualty and Condemnation.
6.01 Substantial Event. If between the Effective Date and the Closing Date, any improvements on the Property are destroyed or damaged to such an extent that the costs to repair are in excess of $375,000.00 (as determined by estimates of Landlord’s insurer), or condemnation proceedings are commenced against the Property or any part thereof which involve the elimination of rentable space or points of access to the Property without substitute space or alternative access being available, or on account of any such casualty or condemnation any tenant is permitted to terminate its lease for space at the Property (provided that this clause will not apply if the tenant waives such right to terminate in writing prior to closing), Buyer may terminate this Agreement and receive a return of its Deposit. However, in the event of such casualty or condemnation, Buyer shall have the right to elect not to terminate this Agreement, in which case any proceeds of insurance or condemnation awards payable by reason of such damage or condemnation shall be paid or effectively assigned to Buyer, and in the case of casualty, Buyer shall receive a credit against the Purchase Price equal to the amount of any deductible under the applicable insurance.
6.02 Insubstantial Event. If between the date hereof and the Closing Date, the improvements on the Property are damaged to such an extent that the costs to repair are equal to or less than $375,000.00 (as determined by estimates of Landlord’s insurer), or if any
13
improvements on the Property are destroyed or damaged to such an extent that the costs to repair are in excess of $375,000.00 but Buyer elects not to terminate the Agreement, or condemnation proceedings are commenced against the Property or any part thereof which do not involve the elimination of rentable space or points of access to the Property or with respect to which substitute space or alternative access is available, then (i) any proceeds of insurance or condemnation awards payable by reason of such damage or condemnation shall be paid or effectively assigned to Buyer, (ii) in the case of casualty, Buyer shall receive a credit against the Purchase Price equal to the amount of any deductible under the applicable insurance, and (ii) Buyer shall proceed to closing hereunder.
6.03 Notice of Event. Seller shall notify Buyer in writing of any casualty occurring to the Property, or any condemnation proceeding which is commenced with respect to the Property, promptly upon learning of such casualty or condemnation.
7. Default/Remedies.
7.01 Default by Seller. If Seller breaches or defaults in any covenant or obligation under this Agreement prior to closing (but not including the breach of any representation or warranty set forth in §3.01 hereof), and such breach or default is not cured within a reasonable time after written notice from Buyer, then Buyer shall have, as its sole option and remedy on account thereof, the right to either (a) enforce this Agreement by specific performance, or (b) terminate this Agreement and receive a return of the Deposit together with a reimbursement of Buyer’s out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with this transaction up to (but not exceeding) an amount of $50,000.00.
7.02 Default by Buyer. If prior to closing, Buyer breaches any covenant, warranty or representation contained in this Agreement, then Seller shall have the right to retain the full amount of the Deposit hereunder, as Seller’s sole remedy and liquidated damages on account of the Buyer’s default, and upon written notice of the exercise of such right from Seller to the Escrow Agent, the Escrow Agent shall pay to Seller the full amount of the Deposit then held by Escrow Agent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this provision shall not limit the Seller’s right and claim against Buyer for any portion of the total Deposit which is not paid to Seller, and further provided that this provision shall not limit the Seller’s right to pursue and recover on a claim with respect to any indemnity obligations of Buyer that expressly survive termination of this Agreement. The parties agree that the Seller’s actual damages would be difficult to ascertain and that the total Deposit is the parties’ best and good faith estimate of such damages and not a penalty.
8. Provisions Regarding Escrow Agent.
8.01 Administration of Deposit. The Escrow Agent agrees to invest, hold and either forfeit to Seller or apply at closing the Deposit in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
8.02 Limitation on Liability. The following provisions shall control with respect to the rights, duties and liabilities of the Escrow Agent:
14
(a) The Escrow Agent acts hereunder as a depository only and is not responsible or liable in any manner whatsoever for the (i) sufficiency, correctness, genuineness or validity of any written instrument, notice or evidence of a party’s receipt of any instruction or notice which is received by the Escrow Agent, or (ii) identity or authority of any person executing such instruction, notice or evidence.
(b) The Escrow Agent shall have no responsibility hereunder except for the performance by it in good faith of the acts to be performed by it hereunder, and the Escrow Agent shall have no liability except for its own breach of this Agreement, willful misconduct or gross negligence.
(c) The Escrow Agent shall not be responsible for the solvency or financial stability of any financial institution with which Escrow Agent is directed to invest funds escrowed hereunder.
(d) The Escrow Agent shall be reimbursed on an equal basis by Buyer and Seller for any reasonable expenses incurred by the Escrow Agent arising from a dispute with respect to the amount held in escrow, including the cost of any legal expenses and court costs incurred by the Escrow Agent, should the Escrow Agent deem it necessary to retain an attorney with respect to the disposition of the amount held in escrow.
(e) In the event of a dispute between the parties hereto with respect to the disposition of the amount held in escrow, the Escrow Agent shall be entitled, at its own discretion, to deliver such amount to an appropriate court of law pending resolution of the dispute.
9. Confidentiality. Prior to the Closing Date, Buyer expressly agrees to protect and hold in the strictest confidence the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the documents and information provided by Seller to Buyer under §2.01 hereof or otherwise (except for that which is readily available to the public), and the results of any inspections, studies or reports generated by or on behalf of the Buyer, and all negotiations between the parties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer shall be permitted to disclose such matters, as appropriate, to its officers, directors, employees and partners and to its attorney(s), surveyor, title insurer, broker and accountants, provided that Buyer requires such parties, in writing, to observe the foregoing covenant regarding confidentiality, and Buyer shall be permitted to make such disclosures as are required by any applicable securities laws or the rules of any securities exchange applicable to Buyer or its affiliates. Buyer further agrees that if the transaction contemplated by this Agreement does not occur for any reason whatsoever, Buyer shall promptly return to Seller all copies of documents and other written materials related to the transaction furnished to the Buyer and such other parties under §2.01 or otherwise.
10. Miscellaneous.
10.01 Assignment. Buyer represents to Seller that Buyer intends to purchase the Property for Buyer’s own investment purposes. Likewise, Buyer shall not assign or transfer this
15
Agreement or any interest herein or in the Property to any third party without the prior written consent of the Seller. However, Seller agrees to not unreasonably withhold its consent to any request by Buyer for consent to an assignment of this Agreement prior to closing to a single asset entity formed solely for the purpose of holding title to the Property for benefit of Buyer. Likewise, Seller may withhold its consent to, and Buyer hereby agrees to not undertake, any assignment for the purpose of transferring directly or indirectly the rights to purchase the Property in return for monetary consideration. Upon any assignment, the original named Buyer herein shall not be released but shall remain primarily responsible for all duties, obligations and liabilities of the Buyer hereunder. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the successors and assigns of the parties hereto.
10.02 No Personal Liability. No employee, officer, director, trustee, partner or affiliate of Seller, or any investment manager or other agent of Seller, shall be personally liable or responsible for any duties, obligations or liabilities of the Seller hereunder or in any other connection with the Property or this transaction.
10.03 Limitation of Assets. To the extent that Seller has obligations or liabilities following closing under §3.01 and §3.02 or otherwise under this Agreement, recourse for enforcement of such obligations or liabilities (if any) shall be limited to the Seller’s proceeds from sale of the Property hereunder or, if lesser, an amount of $375,000.00, and no action may be taken with respect to any greater amounts or other assets of Seller. However, this provision shall not be construed or interpreted as creating any such obligations or liabilities of Seller, which shall be determined by other provisions of this Agreement. In addition, and notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer agrees that it shall have no rights, and shall take no action in suit or otherwise, with respect to any breach of any representation or warranty, which is set forth in §3.01 hereof and to survive the Closing Date under §3.02 hereof, to the extent that the actual damages suffered by Buyer on account thereof do not exceed, in the aggregate, an amount of $25,000.00 (with the understanding that if such damages exceed $25,000.00 Buyer may claim the full amount up to the maximum amount set forth in the first sentence of this paragraph above).
10.04 Limitation of Claims. No statutory or other legal rights under federal, state or local laws and/or regulations shall apply between the parties with respect to the Property and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and the parties are liable only pursuant to the covenants, representations and/or warranties expressly stated in this Agreement and the documents to be delivered at closing, and no other agreements, laws or regulations. Without limitation on the foregoing, upon closing hereunder, Buyer shall be deemed to have automatically released and discharged forever the Seller and all employees, officers, directors, trustees, partners and affiliates of Seller, as well as any investment manager and other agents of Seller, from any and all demands, claims, legal or administrative proceedings, losses, liabilities, damages, penalties, fines, liens, judgments, costs or expenses whatsoever (including but not limited to court costs and attorneys’ fees and disbursements), whether direct or indirect, known or unknown, foreseen or unforeseen, that may arise on account of or in any way be connected with (i) the physical condition of the Property including, without limitation, all structural and seismic elements, all mechanical, electrical, plumbing, sewage, heating, ventilating, air conditioning and other systems, the environmental condition of the Property and the presence of
16
hazardous or dangerous materials or substances on, under or about the Property, or (ii) any law or regulation applicable to the Property, including but not limited to any environmental statutes, rules and regulations, any zoning laws, building codes or other regulations, and any other federal, state or local law.
10.05 Notices. All notices given in connection with this Agreement shall be effective as of the date personally delivered, one day after the date delivered to overnight courier, on the day delivered by confirmed facsimile transmission, or three days after being mailed by U.S. Mail (postage prepaid), as the case may be, if sent to the parties at the following addresses:

10.06 Entire Agreement. This Agreement contains all agreements of the parties with respect to the Property and supersedes any prior discussions, contracts or other agreements with respect thereto. No modifications to this Agreement or waivers of any rights or benefits provided herein shall be binding unless signed by the party against whom such modification or waiver is sought to be enforced. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Seller and Buyer agree to and execute any written amendment or other document modifying this Agreement, which does not directly modify the obligations of the Escrow Agent hereunder, the Escrow Agent shall not be required to execute such amendment or other agreement in order for the document to be fully effective and enforceable.
10.07 Broker. Each of Seller and Buyer represents and warrants to the other that it has not dealt with any broker or finder in connection with the transaction contemplated by this Agreement, except for The Xxxxx Company (the “Broker”), to whom Seller shall pay a commission at closing according to separate agreement. Each of Seller and Buyer indemnifies and holds the other harmless from and against any losses, damages, costs or expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by such other party due to a breach of the foregoing warranty and representation. The foregoing indemnity shall survive closing.
10.08 Attorney’s 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, 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.
10.09 Perpetuities. If the rule against perpetuities would invalidate this Agreement or any portion hereof, due to the potential failure of an interest in property created herein to vest within a particular time, then notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, each such interest in property must vest, if at all, before the passing of 21 years from the date of this Agreement, or this Agreement shall become null and void upon the expiration of such 21 year period and the parties shall have no further liability hereunder.
10.10 Severability. No determination by any court, governmental body or otherwise that any provision of this Agreement or any amendment hereof is invalid or unenforceable in any instance shall affect the validity or enforceability of any other such
18
provision or such provision in any circumstance not controlled by such determination. Each such provision shall be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent allowed by, and shall be construed wherever possible as being consistent with, applicable law.
10.11 Recording. This Agreement may not be recorded among the land records or among any other public records without the Seller’s prior written consent (which consent may be withheld for any reason).
10.12 Counterparts. This Agreement may be signed in counterparts and shall be fully enforceable when signed in such manner.
10.13 Exchange. Seller reserves the right to incorporate the sale and purchase of the Property as part of a like-kind exchange under §1031 of the Internal Revenue Code, and the Buyer agrees to cooperate in such exchange, and to execute any documents necessary therefor, provided that (i) there is no delay in the Closing Date, (ii) Buyer does not have to take title to any other property, and (iii) Buyer shall incur no additional liability or costs for participating in such exchange.
10.14 Post-Closing Audits. Seller agrees, at Buyer’s expense, to cooperate with and assist Buyer to the extent reasonably required for Buyer to comply with any financial reporting requirements applicable to the Buyer or any of its affiliates following closing hereunder.
10.15 Timing. The phrase “business days” as used herein shall mean the days of Monday through Friday, excepting only federal holidays. The phrase “calendar days” as used herein shall mean all days of the week, including all holidays. The term “days” without reference to calendar or business days shall mean calendar days. Time is of the essence of this Agreement.
