referred to collectively as the "Leases"), together with all rents and other
sums due thereunder (the "Rents") and any and all security deposits in Seller's
possession in connection therewith (the "Security Deposits"); and
(e) any and all of Seller's right, title and interest in and to (i) all
assignable contracts and agreements (collectively, the "Operating Agreements")
listed and described on Exhibit C attached hereto and made a part hereof,
relating to the upkeep, repair, maintenance or operation of the Land, the
Improvements or the Personal Property; and (ii) all assignable existing
warranties and guaranties (express or implied) issued to Seller in connection
with the Improvements or the Personal Property listed and described on Exhibit D
attached hereto and made a part hereof; and (iii) all assignable existing
permits, licenses, approvals and authorizations issued by any governmental
authority in connection with the Property (as such term is defined in Section
1.2 hereof) listed and described on Exhibit E attached hereto and made a part
hereof (the property described in clause (e) of this Section 1.1 being sometimes
herein referred to collectively as the "Intangibles").
Section 1.2 Property Defined. The Land and the Improvements are hereinafter
sometimes referred to collectively as the "Real Property." The Real Property,
the Personal Property, the Leases and the Intangibles are hereinafter sometimes
referred to collectively as the "Property."
Section 1.3. Purchase Price. Seller is to sell and Purchaser is to purchase
the Property for the sum of Twenty-Six Million Five Hundred Seventy Thousand and
00/100 Dollars ($26,570,000.00) (the "Purchase Price").
Section 1.4 Payment of Purchase Price. The Purchase Price, as increased or

full at Closing in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds to a
bank account designated by Seller in writing to Purchaser prior to the Closing.

invested. All interest on such sum shall be deemed income of Purchaser, and
Purchaser shall be responsible for the payment of all costs and fees imposed on
the Deposit account. The Deposit and all accrued interest shall be distributed
in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The failure of Purchaser to
timely deliver the Deposit shall be a material default, and shall entitle
Seller, at Seller's sole option, to terminate this Agreement immediately.

ARTICLE II

Section 2.1 Existing Title And Survey Matters. Purchaser acknowledges and
agrees that: (a) Seller has furnished Purchaser, prior to the Effective Date,
with copies of: (i) that certain Certificate and Report of Title (the
"Certificate of Title"), dated August 8, 1996 (the "Title Inspection Date"), for
the Real Property prepared by Commonwealth Land Title Insurance Company (the
"Title Company"); and (ii) Seller's title insurance policies (the "Owner's Title
Policies"), each dated June 30, 1994, and issued by, respectively, the Title
Company (Policy Number NY9300122M), and by First American Title Insurance
Company of New York (Policy Number Y0035325); and (iii) a copy of Seller's
survey (the "Survey"), prepared by J. Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxxx, dated April 30, 1947 and
last redated by visual examination on May 31, 1994 by Xxxxxxx Surveying, P.C.,
for the Land and the Improvements; (b) Purchaser has had an opportunity, prior
to the Effective Date, to order its own title report and survey for the Land and
the Improvements; and (c) any and all matters (the "Existing Title And Survey
Matters") referred to, reflected in or disclosed by, the materials referred to
in the preceding sub-paragraphs (a)(i) through (iii), inclusive, have been
agreed to and accepted by Purchaser (including, but not limited to, any and all
exceptions to title set forth in Schedule B of the Certificate of Title and in
Schedule B of each of the Owner's Title Policies), and that, as of the Title
Inspection Date, Purchaser has approved the condition of title to the Real
Property. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall, prior to Closing,
effectuate the following with respect to the Existing Title and Survey Matters:
1. All judgments and liens noted in Item 9 of Schedule B of the Certificate
of Title shall be omitted as an exception to title from any owner's and
mortgagee's title insurance policy issued at the Closing, and at Closing, Seller
shall deliver to the Title Company, Purchaser and Purchaser's lender an
indemnification agreement in form, scope and substance sufficient to omit said
Item 9 and reasonably acceptable to Seller, (and which indemnification agreement
shall be freely assignable by Purchaser and Purchaser's lender) indemnifying and
holding the Title Company, Purchaser and Purchaser's lender (and Purchaser's and
Purchaser's lender's respective successors and assigns) harmless from and
against any and all judgments and liens noted in said Item 9.
2. All judgments noted in Item 10 of Schedule B of the Certificate of Title
shall be omitted as an exception to title from any owner's and mortgagee's title
insurance policy issued at the Closing, and at Closing, Seller shall deliver to
the Title Company, Purchaser and Purchaser's lender an indemnification agreement
in form, scope and substance sufficient to omit said Item 10 and reasonably
acceptable to Seller, (and which indemnification agreement shall be freely
assignable by Purchaser and Purchaser's lender) indemnifying and holding the
Title Company, Purchaser and Purchaser's lender (and Purchaser's and Purchaser's
lender's
3
respective successors and assigns) harmless from and against any and all
judgments noted in said Item 10.
3. Item No. 19 shall be omitted as an exception to title from any owner's
and mortgagee's title insurance policy issued at the Closing.
4. Seller shall deliver at Closing such affidavits as may be customarily
and reasonably required by the Title Company, in a form reasonably acceptable to
Seller, including, but not limited to, those specific affidavits required by
Schedule B of the Certificate of Title in order that Items 15, 16, 17 and 25
shall be omitted as exceptions from any owner's and mortgagee's title insurance
policy issued at the Closing.
5. Subject to adjustment as herein provided, all open taxes, assessments,
vault charges and other similar charges noted and set forth in the Existing
Title and Survey Matters shall be satisfied in full at or prior to Closing.
6. All violations of federal, state, New York City, municipal and local
laws, regulations, ordinances, permits and the like noted and set forth in the
Existing Title and Survey Matters shall be cured prior to Closing, except for
(a) those certain violations noted as Items 1 and 2 on Exhibit R attached hereto
(the "Violations"), regarding which Seller shall attempt to cure prior to
Closing; provided, however, (i) Seller shall not be obligated to cure the
Violations as a condition to Closing; (ii) the failure by Seller to cure the
Violations on or before Closing shall not be a default of Seller's obligations
under this Agreement; and (ii) if Seller fails to cure the Violations on or
before Closing, Seller shall not be obligated to continue to attempt to cure the
Violations (but Seller (at no cost to Seller) shall reasonably cooperate with
Purchaser to effectuate such cure); and (b) that certain violation noted as Item
3 on Exhibit R attached hereto.
7. Seller shall deliver at Closing such affidavit as may be customarily and
reasonably required by the Title Company, in a form reasonably acceptable to
Seller, regarding tenants referenced in Item 2 of Schedule B of the Certificate
of Title.
The Existing Title and Survey Matters, as modified, cured and affected
hereinabove, shall be referred to as the "Acceptable Title Matters").
Section 2.2 Pre-Closing "Gap" Title Defects. Purchaser may, at or prior to
Closing, notify Seller in writing (the "Gap Notice") of any objections to title
not disclosed by the Title Company or otherwise known to Purchaser on or before
the Title Inspection Date; provided that Purchaser must notify Seller of such
objection to title within two (2) business days of being made aware of the
existence of such exception. If Purchaser sends a Gap Notice to Seller, Seller
shall notify Purchaser within five (5) business days thereafter whether Seller,
at Seller's option, shall either (a) remove such objectionable exceptions from
title on or
4
before the Closing; provided that Seller may extend the Closing for such period
as shall be required to effect such cure, but not beyond thirty (30) days; or
(b) not cause such exceptions to be removed. If Seller does not notify Purchaser
with said five (5) business day period, Seller shall be deemed to have elected
not to cause such objectionable exceptions from title. The procurement by Seller
of a commitment for the issuance of the Title Policy (as defined in Section 2.4
hereof) shall be deemed a cure by Seller of such objections set forth in the Gap
Notice. If Seller gives Purchaser notice under clause (b) above, Purchaser shall
have five (5) business days (but in all events must do so at or prior to the
Closing) in which to notify Seller that Purchaser will nevertheless proceed with
the purchase and take title to the Property subject to such exceptions, or that
Purchaser will terminate this Agreement. If this Agreement is terminated
pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this paragraph, then neither party shall
have any further rights or obligations hereunder (except for any indemnity
obligations of either party pursuant to the other provisions of this Agreement
other than the obligations set forth in Article 11 hereof, which shall void and
thereupon of no force or effect), the Deposit shall be returned to Purchaser and
each party shall bear its own costs incurred hereunder. If Purchaser shall fail
to notify Seller of its election within said five (5) business day period,
Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected to proceed with the purchase and take
title to the Property subject to such exceptions.
Section 2.3 Permitted Exceptions. The Property shall be conveyed subject to
the following matters, which are hereinafter referred to as the "Permitted
Exceptions":
(a) each and all of the Acceptable Title Matters;
(b) matters that either are not objected to in writing within the time
periods provided in Sections 2.2, or if objected to in writing by Purchaser, are
those which Seller has elected not to remove or cure, or has been unable to
remove or cure, and subject to which Purchaser has elected or is deemed to have
elected to accept the conveyance of the Property;
(c) the rights of tenants under the Leases as tenants only;
(d) the lien of all ad valorem real estate taxes and assessments not yet
due and payable as of the date of Closing, subject to adjustment as herein
provided; and
(e) local, state and federal laws, ordinances or governmental regulations,
including but not limited to, building and zoning laws, ordinances and
regulations, now or hereafter in effect relating to the Property.
Section 2.4 Conveyance of Title. At Closing, Seller shall convey and
transfer to Purchaser fee simple title to the Land and the Improvements, by
execution and delivery of the Deed (as defined in Section 4.2(a) hereof).
Evidence of delivery of such title
5
shall be the issuance by the Title Company of a 1992 ALTA Owner's Policy of
Title Insurance (the "Title Policy") covering the Real Property, in the full
amount of the Purchase Price, subject only to the Permitted Exceptions.
ARTICLE III
REVIEW OF PROPERTY
Section 3.1 Right of Inspection. Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that it
has had an opportunity, prior to the Effective Date, to make any and all
physical and other inspections of the Property as Purchaser has deemed necessary
and/or appropriate in connection with the transaction contemplated by this
Agreement, and that Purchaser has agreed, subject to the provisions of Article
VII hereof, to accept the Property at the Closing in the condition that exists
on the Effective Date, reasonable wear and tear excepted. Purchaser shall have
the right to further inspect the Property within the two (2) day period
immediately preceding the Closing (during normal business hours and upon notice
to Seller) for the sole purpose of confirming that the Property is in the same
condition at the Closing as existed on the Effective Date, reasonable wear and
tear excepted, as aforesaid.
Section 3.2 Reports. PURCHASER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (1) PURCHASER HAS RECEIVED
COPIES OF THE REPORTS LISTED ON EXHIBIT F ATTACHED HERETO, (2) IF SELLER
DELIVERS ANY ADDITIONAL REPORTS TO PURCHASER, PURCHASER WILL ACKNOWLEDGE IN
WRITING THAT IT HAS RECEIVED SUCH REPORTS PROMPTLY UPON RECEIPT THEREOF, AND (3)
ANY REPORTS DELIVERED OR TO BE DELIVERED BY SELLER OR ITS AGENTS OR CONSULTANTS
TO PURCHASER ARE BEING MADE AVAILABLE SOLELY AS AN ACCOMMODATION TO PURCHASER
AND MAY NOT BE RELIED UPON BY PURCHASER IN CONNECTION WITH THE PURCHASE OF THE
PROPERTY. PURCHASER AGREES THAT SELLER SHALL HAVE NO LIABILITY OR OBLIGATION
WHATSOEVER FOR ANY INACCURACY IN OR OMISSION FROM ANY REPORT. PURCHASER
ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT IT HAS CONDUCTED, PRIOR TO THE EFFECTIVE DATE, ITS
OWN INVESTIGATION OF THE CONDITION OF THE PROPERTY TO THE EXTENT PURCHASER
DEEMED SUCH AN INVESTIGATION TO BE NECESSARY OR APPROPRIATE, AND PURCHASER HAS
APPROVED OF THE CONDITION OF THE PROPERTY.
Section 3.3 Review of Tenant Estoppels. Within five (5) days of the
Effective Date, Seller shall deliver to each tenant of the Property an estoppel
certificate in substantially the form of Exhibit G attached hereto (the "Tenant
Estoppels") and shall request that the tenants complete and sign the Tenant
Estoppels and return them to Seller; provided, however, Purchaser acknowledges
that each tenant shall only be obligated to return an estoppel certificate as
set forth in said tenant's lease. Seller shall deliver copies of the completed
Tenant Estoppels to Purchaser as Seller receives them and deliver the originals
thereof to Purchaser at the Closing. Purchaser shall notify Seller within three
(3) business days of receipt of any Tenant Estoppel in the event Purchaser
determines such Tenant Estoppel is not reasonably acceptable to Purchaser along
with the reasons for such determination. In the event Purchaser fails to give
such notice
6
within such three (3) business day period then any such Tenant Estoppel shall be
deemed to be acceptable to Purchaser. In the event that Seller fails to obtain
the Tenant Estoppels or at a minimum, estoppel certificates containing the
information required under said tenants' leases (or in lieu thereof (except for
Xxxxx & Xxxxx), at Seller's option, Seller estoppels therefor in the form of the
Tenant Estoppel set forth in Exhibit G for not more than ten (10%) percent of
the currently occupied space at the Property as of the Effective Date) that are
reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser on or before three (3) business days prior
to Closing from (a) Xxxxx & Xxxxx and (b) those tenants occupying at least sixty
(60%) percent of the rentable square feet of the Property (which shall include
the rentable square feet occupied by Xxxxx & Xxxxx), in the aggregate, then
Purchaser shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by written notice to
Seller. If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to the foregoing provisions of
this paragraph, then neither party shall have any further rights or obligations
hereunder (except for any indemnity obligations of either party pursuant to the
other provisions of this Agreement other than the obligations set forth in
Article 11 hereof, which shall void and thereupon of no force or effect), the
Deposit shall be returned to Purchaser and each party shall bear its own costs
incurred hereunder. If Purchaser fails to give Seller a notice of termination as
set forth above, Purchaser shall be deemed to have approved the Tenant Estoppels
(and Seller estoppels, if applicable) and to have elected to proceed with the
purchase of the Property pursuant to the terms hereof. Except as otherwise
provided in the succeeding sentence, the representations and warranties set
forth in any Seller estoppels shall survive the Closing for a period of one (1)
year and Seller's liability to Purchaser for a breach of any representation or
warranty set forth in any Seller estoppels shall be subject to Section 5.3
hereof. Any Tenant Estoppel which is received from a tenant after Seller
provides its own estoppel may be substituted for Seller's estoppel and Seller
shall have no further liability thereunder, provided that such Tenant Estoppel
contains no changes or, if changed, is otherwise reasonably acceptable to
Purchaser. The provisions of this Section 3.4 shall survive the Closing.
ARTICLE IV

Section 4.1 Time and Place. The consummation of the transaction
contemplated hereby (the "Closing") shall be held at the offices of Seller
located at 000 Xxxx Xxxxxx, 00xx Xxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx on December 4, 1996,
at 9:30 A.M. At the Closing, Seller and Purchaser shall perform the obligations
set forth in, respectively, Section 4.2 and Section 4.3 hereof, the performance
of which obligations shall be concurrent conditions; provided that the Deed
shall not be recorded until Seller receives confirmation that Seller has
received the full amount of the Purchase Price, adjusted by prorations as set
forth herein.
Section 4.2 Seller's Obligations at Closing. At Closing, Seller shall:
7
(a) deliver to Purchaser a duly executed Bargain and Sale Deed without
Covenants Against Grantor's Acts (the "Deed") in the form attached hereto as
Exhibit H, conveying the Land and the Improvements, subject only to the
Permitted Exceptions. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, at Seller's
option, and for convenience, Seller may omit from the Deed the recital of any or
all of the "subject to" clauses concerning the Permitted Exceptions, but the
same shall nevertheless survive the Closing. The terms of the immediately
preceding sentence shall survive the Closing;
(b) deliver to Purchaser a duly executed xxxx of sale (the "Xxxx of Sale")
conveying the Personal Property without warranty of title or use and without
warranty, express or implied, as to merchantability and fitness for any purpose
and in the form attached hereto as Exhibit I;
(c) assign to Purchaser, and Purchaser shall assume, the landlord/lessor
interest in and to the Leases, Rents and Security Deposits, and any and all
obligations to pay leasing commissions and finder's fees with respect to the
Leases and amendments, renewals and expansions thereof, to the extent provided
in Section 4.4(b)(v) hereof, by duly executed assignment and assumption
agreement (the "Assignment of Leases") in the form attached hereto as Exhibit J
pursuant to which Purchaser shall indemnify Seller and hold Seller harmless from
and against any and all claims pertaining thereto arising from and after the
Closing, including without limitation, claims made by tenants with respect to
tenants' Security Deposits to the extent paid, credited or assigned to
Purchaser;
(d) to the extent assignable, assign to Purchaser, and Purchaser shall
assume, Seller's interest in the Operating Agreements and the other Intangibles
by duly executed assignment and assumption agreement (the "Assignment of
Contracts") in the form attached hereto as Exhibit K pursuant to which Purchaser
shall indemnify Seller and hold Seller harmless from and against any and all
claims pertaining thereto arising from and after the Closing;
(e) join with Purchaser to execute a notice (the "Tenant Notice") in the
form attached hereto as Exhibit L, which Purchaser shall send to each tenant
under each of the Leases promptly after the Closing, informing such tenant of
the sale of the Property and of the assignment to Purchaser of Seller's interest
in, and obligations under, the Leases (including, if applicable, any Security
Deposits), and directing that all Rent and other sums payable after the Closing
under each such Lease be paid as set forth in the notice;
(f) In the event that any representation or warranty of Seller needs to be
modified due to changes since the Effective Date, deliver to Purchaser a
certificate, dated as of the date of Closing and executed on behalf of Seller by
a duly authorized officer thereof, identifying any representation or warranty
which is not, or no longer is, true and correct and explaining the state
8
of facts giving rise to the change. In no event shall Seller be liable to
Purchaser for, or be deemed to be in default hereunder by reason of, any breach
of representation or warranty which results from any change that (i) occurs
between the Effective Date and the date of Closing, and (ii) is expressly
permitted under the terms of this Agreement or is beyond the reasonable control
of Seller to prevent; provided, however, that the occurrence of a change which
is not permitted hereunder or is beyond the reasonable control of Seller to
prevent shall, if materially adverse to Purchaser, constitute the
non-fulfillment of the condition set forth in Section 4.6(b) hereof; if, despite
changes or other matters described in such certificate, the Closing occurs,
Seller's representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement shall be
deemed to have been modified by all statements made in such certificate;
(g) deliver to Purchaser such evidence as the Title Company may reasonably
require as to the authority of the person or persons executing documents on
behalf of Seller;
(h) deliver to Purchaser a certificate in the form attached hereto as
Exhibit M duly executed by Seller stating that Seller is not a "foreign person"
as defined in the Federal Foreign Investment in Real Property Tax Act of 1980;
(i) deliver to Purchaser the Leases and the Operating Agreements, together
with such leasing and property files and records located at the Property or the
property manager's office in connection with the continued operation, leasing
and maintenance of the Property, but excluding Seller's corporate records,
internal memoranda, financial projections, budgets, appraisals, accounting and
tax records and similar proprietary, confidential or privileged information. For
a period of three (3) years after the Closing, Purchaser shall allow Seller and
its agents and representatives access without charge to all files, records and
documents delivered to Purchaser at the Closing, upon reasonable advance notice
and at all reasonable times, to examine and make copies of any and all such
files, records and documents, which right shall survive the Closing;
(j) deliver to Purchaser the originals of those of the Tenant Estoppels
returned to Seller by the tenants at the Property;
(k) deliver such affidavits as may be customarily and reasonably required
by the Title Company, in a form reasonably acceptable to Seller;
(l) deliver to Purchaser possession and occupancy of the Property, subject
to the Permitted Exceptions;
(m) execute a closing statement acceptable to Seller; and
(n) deliver such additional documents as shall be reasonably required to
consummate the transaction contemplated by this Agreement.
9
Section 4.3 Purchaser's Obligations at Closing. At Closing, Purchaser
shall:
(a) pay to Seller the full amount of the Purchase Price (which amount shall
include the Deposit), as increased or decreased by prorations and adjustments as
herein provided, in immediately available wire transferred federal funds
pursuant to Section 1.4 hereof;
(b) join Seller in the execution of the Assignment of Leases, the
Assignment of Contracts and the Tenant Notices;
(c) In the event that any representation or warranty of Purchaser set forth
in Sections 5.5(a) or (b) hereof needs to be modified due to changes since the
Effective Date, deliver to Seller a certificate, dated as of the date of Closing
and executed on behalf of Purchaser by a duly authorized representative thereof,
identifying any such representation or warranty which is not, or no longer is,
true and correct and explaining the state of facts giving rise to the change. In
no event shall Purchaser be liable to Seller for, or be deemed to be in default
hereunder by reason of, any breach of representation or warranty set forth in
Sections 5.5(a) or (b) hereof which results from any change that (i) occurs
between the Effective Date and the date of Closing, and (ii) is expressly
permitted under the terms of this Agreement or is beyond the reasonable control
of Purchaser to prevent; provided, however, that the occurrence of a change
which is not permitted hereunder or is beyond the reasonable control of
Purchaser to prevent shall, if materially adverse to Seller, constitute the
non-fulfillment of the condition set forth in Section 4.7(c) hereof; if, despite
changes or other matters described in such certificate, the Closing occurs,
Purchaser's representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement shall be
deemed to have been modified by all statements made in such certificate;
(d) deliver to Seller such evidence as the Title Company may reasonably
require as to the authority of the person or persons executing documents on
behalf of Purchaser;
(e) deliver such affidavits as may be customarily and reasonably required
by the Title Company, in a form reasonably acceptable to Purchaser;
(f) execute a closing statement acceptable to Purchaser; and
(g) deliver such additional documents as shall be reasonably required to
consummate the transaction contemplated by this Agreement.
10
Section 4.4 Credits and Prorations.

Property during the entire day upon which Closing occurs. Such prorated items
shall include without limitation the following:
(i) all Rents, if any;
(ii) taxes and assessments (including personal property taxes on the
Personal Property) levied against the Property;
(iii) utility charges for which Seller is liable, if any, such charges
to be apportioned at Closing on the basis of the most recent meter reading
occurring prior to Closing (dated not more than fifteen (15) days prior to
Closing) or, if unmetered, on the basis of a current xxxx for each such
utility;
(iv) all amounts payable under Operating Agreements, pursuant to the
terms of this Agreement;
(v) any other operating expenses or other items pertaining to the
Property which are customarily prorated between a purchaser and a seller in
the county in which the Property is located; and
(vi) a credit in the sum of $77,025.00 in consideration for the
obligations of Purchaser set forth in Article 11 hereof.
(b) Notwithstanding anything contained in Section 4.4(a) hereof:
(i) At Closing, (A) Seller shall, at Seller's option, either deliver
to Purchaser any Security Deposits actually held by Seller pursuant to the
Leases or credit to the account of Purchaser the amount of such Security
Deposits (to the extent such Security Deposits have not been applied
against delinquent Rents or otherwise as provided in the Leases), and (B)
Purchaser shall credit to the account of Seller all refundable cash or
other deposits posted with utility companies serving the Property, or, at
Seller's option, Seller shall be entitled to receive and retain such
refundable cash and deposits. Any Security Deposits in form other than cash
(including, but not limited to, any letters of credit) shall be transferred
to Purchaser by way of appropriate instruments of replacement, transfer or
assignment, the cost of which shall be borne by Purchaser;
(ii) Any taxes paid at or prior to Closing shall be prorated based
upon the amounts actually paid. If taxes and assessments due and payable
during the year of Closing have not been paid before Closing, Seller shall
be charged at Closing an amount equal to that portion of such taxes and
assessments which relates to the period before Closing and Purchaser shall
pay the taxes and assessments prior to their becoming delinquent. Any such
11
apportionment made with respect to a tax year for which the tax rate or
assessed valuation, or both, have not yet been fixed shall be based upon
the tax rate and/or assessed valuation last fixed. To the extent that the
actual taxes and assessments for the current year differ from the amount
apportioned at Closing, the parties shall make all necessary adjustments by
appropriate payments between themselves within thirty (30) days after such
amounts are determined following Closing, subject to the provisions of
Section 4.4(d) hereof;
(iii) Charges referred to in Section 4.4(a) hereof which are payable
by any tenant to a third party shall not be apportioned hereunder, and
Purchaser shall accept title subject to any of such charges unpaid and
Purchaser shall look solely to the tenant responsible therefor for the
payment of the same. As of the Effective Date, Seller has not paid any of
such charges on behalf of any tenant. However, if Seller (after obtaining
Purchaser's prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed) shall pay any of such charges on behalf of any tenant
between the Effective Date and the Closing, and shall not have been
reimbursed therefor by the time of Closing, Purchaser shall credit to
Seller an amount equal to all such charges so paid by Seller;
(iv) As to utility charges referred to in Section 4.4(a)(iii) hereof,
Seller may on notice to Purchaser elect to pay one or more of all of said
items accrued to the date hereinabove fixed for apportionment directly to
the person or entity entitled thereto prior to the Closing, and to the
extent Seller so elects, such item shall not be apportioned hereunder;
(v) Purchaser shall be responsible for the payment of (A) all Tenant
Inducement Costs (as hereinafter defined) and leasing commissions which
become due and payable (whether before or after Closing) as a result of any
new Leases, or any renewals, amendments or expansions of existing Leases,
signed during the Lease Approval Period (as hereinafter defined) and, if
required, approved or deemed approved in accordance with Section 5.4
hereof; and (B) all Tenant Inducement Costs and leasing commissions with
respect to new Leases, or renewals, amendments or expansions of existing
Leases, signed or entered into from and after the date of Closing; and (C)
all Tenant Inducement Costs and leasing commissions listed on Exhibit N
attached hereto. If, as of the date of Closing, Seller shall have paid any
Tenant Inducement Costs or leasing commissions for which Purchaser is
responsible pursuant to the foregoing provisions, Purchaser shall reimburse
Seller therefor at Closing. For purposes hereof, the term "Tenant
Inducement Costs" shall mean any out-of-pocket payments required under a
Lease to be paid by the landlord thereunder to or for the benefit of the
tenant thereunder which is in the nature of a tenant inducement, including
specifically, without limitation, tenant improvement costs, lease buyout
costs, and moving, design, refurbishment and club membership allowances.
The term "Tenant Inducement Costs" shall not include loss of income
resulting from any free rental period, it being agreed that Seller shall
bear the
12
loss resulting from any free rental period until the date of Closing and
that Purchaser shall bear such loss from and after the date of Closing. For
purposes hereof, the term "Lease Approval Period" shall mean the period
from the Effective Date until the date of Closing;
(vi) Unpaid and delinquent Rent collected by Seller and Purchaser
after the date of Closing shall be delivered as follows: (a) if Seller
collects any unpaid or delinquent Rent for the Property, Seller shall,
within fifteen (15) days after the receipt thereof, deliver to Purchaser
any such Rent which Purchaser is entitled to hereunder relating to the date
of Closing and any period thereafter, and (b) if Purchaser collects any
unpaid or delinquent Rent from the Property, Purchaser shall, within
fifteen (15) days after the receipt thereof, deliver to Seller any such
Rent which Seller is entitled to hereunder relating to the period prior to
the date of Closing. Seller and Purchaser agree, on a tenant-by-tenant
basis, that (i) all Rent received by Seller or Purchaser within the first
ninety (90) day period after the date of Closing from a tenant of the
Property shall be applied first to delinquent Rent, if any, owed by said
tenant, in the order of their maturity, and then to current Rent owed by
said tenant, and (ii) all Rent received by Seller or Purchaser after the
first ninety (90) day period after the date of Closing shall be applied
first to current Rent owed by said tenant and then to delinquent Rent, if
any, owed by said tenant, in the inverse order of maturity. Purchaser will
make a good faith effort after Closing to collect all Rents in the usual
course of Purchaser's operation of the Property, but Purchaser will not be
obligated to institute any lawsuit or other collection procedures to
collect delinquent Rents. Seller may attempt to collect any delinquent
Rents owed Seller and may institute any lawsuit or collection procedures,
but may not evict any tenant. In the event that there shall be any Rents or
other charges under any Leases which, although relating to a period prior
to Closing, do not become due and payable until after Closing or are paid
prior to Closing but are subject to adjustment after Closing (such as year
end common area expense reimbursements and the like), then any Rents or
charges of such type received by Purchaser or its agents or Seller or its
agents subsequent to Closing shall, to the extent applicable to a period
extending through the Closing, be prorated between Seller and Purchaser as
of Closing and Seller's portion thereof shall be remitted promptly to
Seller by Purchaser. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement
to the contrary, Seller shall be entitled to all unpaid or delinquent Rent
for the period prior to the Closing that is received by Seller or Purchaser
from Xxxxxxx & Xxxxxxx in connection with that certain Agreement, dated as
of February 15, 1995, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit O-1,
and that certain Stipulation of Settlement, dated September 5, 1995, a copy
of which is attached hereto as Exhibit O-2.
(c) Seller has filed and may continue to prosecute an appeal of the real
property tax assessment for the 1996/1997 tax years (and prior years), and may
take related action which Seller deems appropriate in connection therewith.
Purchaser shall cooperate
13
with Seller in connection with such appeal and collection of a refund of real
property taxes paid. Seller owns and holds all right, title and interest in and
to such appeal and refund, and all amounts payable in connection therewith shall
be paid directly to Seller by the applicable authorities. If such refund or any
part thereof is received by Purchaser, Purchaser shall promptly pay such amount
to Seller. Any refund received by Seller shall be distributed as follows: first,
to reimburse Seller for all costs incurred in connection with the appeal;
second, with respect to refunds payable to tenants of the Real Property pursuant
to the Leases, to such tenants in accordance with the terms of such Leases; and
third, to Seller to the extent such appeal covers the period prior to the
Closing, and to Purchaser to the extent such appeal covers the period as of the
Closing and thereafter. If and to the extent any such appeal covers the period
after the Closing, Purchaser shall have the right to participate in such appeal.
(d) Except as otherwise provided herein, any revenue or expense amount
which cannot be ascertained with certainty as of Closing shall be prorated on
the basis of the parties' reasonable estimates of such amount, and shall be the
subject of a final proration within one hundred eighty (180) days after Closing,
or as soon thereafter as the precise amounts can be ascertained. Purchaser shall
promptly notify Seller when it becomes aware that any such estimated amount has
been ascertained. Once all revenue and expense amounts have been ascertained,
Purchaser shall prepare, and certify as correct, a final proration statement
which shall be subject to Seller's approval. Upon Seller's acceptance and
approval of any final proration statement submitted by Purchaser, such statement
shall be conclusively deemed to be accurate and final.
(e) Subject to the final sentence of Section 4.4(d) hereof, the provisions
of this Section 4.4 shall survive Closing.
Section 4.5 Transaction Taxes and Closing Costs.
(a) Seller and Purchaser shall execute such returns, questionnaires and
other documents as shall be required with regard to all applicable real property
transaction taxes imposed by applicable federal, state or local law or
ordinance;
(b) Seller shall pay the fees of any counsel representing Seller in
connection with this transaction. Seller shall also pay the following costs and

shall refer only to the current actual knowledge of the Designated Employee (as

Seller's property manager), and shall not be construed, by imputation or
otherwise, to refer to the knowledge of Seller or any affiliate of Seller, to

the Land); and
(b) Except as provided hereinbelow, a copy of any amendment, renewal or
expansion of an existing Lease (unless such renewal or expansion is pursuant to

Purchaser prior to execution by Seller. Purchaser agrees to notify Seller in
writing within five (5) business days after its receipt thereof of either its

Date, which representations and warranties shall be deemed to have been made
again as of the Closing, subject to Section 4.3(c) hereof:
(a) Organization and Authority. Purchaser has been duly organized and is
validly existing under the laws of the State of Delaware. Purchaser has the full
right and authority to enter into this Agreement and to consummate or cause to
be consummated the transaction contemplated by this Agreement. The person
signing this Agreement on behalf of Purchaser is authorized to do so;
(b) Pending Actions. To Purchaser's knowledge, there is no action, suit,
arbitration, unsatisfied order or judgment, government investigation or

Purchaser shall not assign its interest under this Agreement to any entity,
person, or Plan which will cause a violation of ERISA.

(180) day period and an action shall have been commenced by Seller against
Purchaser within two hundred forty (240) days of Closing.

days following the date upon which Closing was to have occurred.

after Seller sends Purchaser written notice of the occurrence of such Major loss
or damage (which notice shall state the cost of repair or restoration thereof as

Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected to proceed with Closing, in which
event Seller shall, at Seller's option, either (a) perform any necessary
repairs, or (b) assign to Purchaser, without representation, warranty or
recourse to Seller, all of Seller's right, title and interest in and to any
claims and proceeds Seller may have with respect to any net casualty insurance
policies or net condemnation awards relating to the premises in question (that
is, after expense of collection), subject however, to Seller's right to receive
reimbursement therefrom of any amounts paid or incurred by Seller for or on
account of any amounts paid or incurred by Seller for or on account of repairs
and/or restoration of the Property prior to Closing. In the event that Seller
elects to perform repairs upon the Property, Seller shall use reasonable efforts
to complete such repairs promptly and the date of Closing shall be extended a
reasonable time in order to allow for the completion of such repairs. If Seller
elects to assign a casualty claim to Purchaser, the Purchase Price shall be
reduced by an amount equal to the lesser of the deductible amount under Seller's
insurance policy or the cost of such repairs as determined in accordance with
Section 7.3 hereof. Upon Closing, full risk of loss with respect to the Property
shall pass to Purchaser.

7.1 and 7.2, "Major" loss or damage refers to the following: (a) loss or damage
to the Property hereof such that the cost of repairing or restoring the premises

($2,000,000.00), and (b) any loss due to a condemnation which permanently and
materially impairs the current use of the Property. If Purchaser does not give

Section 9.3 Survival of Disclaimers. The provisions of this Article IX
shall survive Closing or any termination of this Agreement.
ARTICLE X
MISCELLANEOUS
Section 10.1 Confidentiality. Purchaser and its representatives shall hold
in strictest confidence all data and information obtained with respect to Seller
or its business, whether obtained before or after the execution and delivery of
this Agreement, and shall not disclose the same to others; provided, however,
that it is understood and agreed that Purchaser may disclose such data and
information to the employees, lenders, consultants, accountants and attorneys of
Purchaser provided that such persons agree in writing to treat such data and
information confidentially. In the event this Agreement is terminated or
Purchaser fails to perform hereunder, Purchaser shall promptly return to Seller
any statements, documents, schedules, exhibits or other written information
obtained from Seller in connection with this Agreement or the transaction
contemplated herein. It is understood and agreed that, with respect to any
provision of this Agreement which refers to the termination of this Agreement
and the return of the Deposit to Purchaser, such Deposit shall not be returned
to Purchaser unless and until Purchaser has fulfilled its obligation to return
to Seller the materials described in the preceding sentence. In the event of a
breach or threatened breach by Purchaser or its agents or representatives of
this Section 10.1, Seller shall be entitled to an injunction restraining
Purchaser or its agents or representatives from disclosing, in whole or in part,
such confidential information. Nothing herein shall be construed as prohibiting
Seller from pursuing any other available remedy at law or in equity for such
breach or threatened breach. The provisions of this Section 10.1 shall survive
Closing or any termination of this Agreement.
Section 10.2 Public Disclosure. Prior to and after the Closing, no press
release or other public disclosure (except to the extent required by law,
including any filings required by the Securities and Exchange Commission and
communications with each of the limited partners of Purchaser) regarding the
purchase and sale as contemplated hereby will be issued or made by either party
without the prior written consent of both parties. The provisions of this
Section 10.2 shall survive the Closing or any termination of this Agreement.
Section 10.3 Assignment. Subject to the provisions of this Section 10.3,
the terms and provisions of this Agreement are to apply to and bind the
permitted successors and assigns of the parties hereto. Purchaser may not assign
its rights under this Agreement without first obtaining Seller's written
approval, which
25
approval may be given or withheld in Seller's sole discretion. Notwithstanding
the preceding sentence, so long as Purchaser satisfies all of the conditions of
this Section 10.3, the prior written approval of Seller shall not be required in
the event that Purchaser assigns its rights under this Agreement to any entity
controlled by Purchaser. For purposes of this Section 10.3, the phrase "control"
shall mean the ownership of sufficient equity or voting interests of a
corporation or similar entity to enable the holder thereof to elect a majority
of the directors (or persons performing similar functions) thereof and in the
case of a partnership or joint venture, the ownership of more than a 50%
interest in the profits or capital thereof. In the event Purchaser intends to
assign its rights hereunder, (a) Purchaser shall send Seller written notice
thereof at least ten (10) business days prior to Closing, which notice shall
include the legal name and structure of the proposed assignee, as well as any
other information that Seller may reasonably request, and (b) Purchaser and the
proposed assignee shall execute an assignment and assumption of this Agreement
in form and substance satisfactory to Seller, and (c) in no event shall any
assignment of this Agreement release or discharge Purchaser from any liability
or obligation hereunder. Any assignee permitted under this Section 10.3 shall
make and deliver in writing to Seller the same representations at Closing as are
made by Purchaser in this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, under no
circumstances shall Purchaser have the right to assign this Agreement to any
person or entity owned or controlled by an employee benefit plan if Seller's
sale of the Property to such person or entity would, in the reasonable opinion
of Seller's ERISA advisor, create or otherwise cause a "prohibited transaction"
under ERISA. Any transfer, directly or indirectly, of any stock, partnership
interest or other ownership interest in Purchaser shall constitute an assignment
of this Agreement. The provisions of this Section 10.3 shall survive the Closing
or any termination of this Agreement.
Section 10.4 Notices. Any notice pursuant to this Agreement shall be given
in writing by (a) personal delivery, (b) reputable overnight delivery service
with proof of delivery, (c) United States Mail, postage prepaid, registered or
certified mail, return receipt requested, or (d) legible facsimile transmission,
sent to the intended addressee at the address set forth below, or to such other
address or to the attention of such other person as the addressee shall have
designated by written notice sent in accordance herewith, and shall be deemed to
have been given upon receipt or refusal to accept delivery, or, in the case of
facsimile transmission, as of the date of the facsimile transmission provided
that an original of such facsimile is also sent to the intended addressee by

materially adversely affect the benefits accruing to any party hereunder.
Section 10.10 Applicable Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and
construed in accordance with the laws of the State in which the Property is
located. Seller and Purchaser agree that the provisions of this Section 10.10

Section 10.11 No Third-Party Beneficiary. The provisions of this Agreement
and of the documents to be executed and delivered at Closing are and will be for

provisions of this Agreement or of the documents to be executed and delivered at

Section 10.13 Construction. The parties acknowledge that the parties and
their counsel have reviewed and revised this Agreement and that the normal rule
of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved against
