Seller expressly acknowledges and agrees that, if Purchaser requests the Title Company to return the Xxxxxxx Money Deposit as a result of Purchaser’s election to terminate this Contract under Section 4.02, then the Title Company shall have no obligation to independently determine whether Purchaser has the right to receive the Xxxxxxx Money Deposit, and the Title Company may rely solely upon the written instructions set forth in any written notice delivered by Purchaser from and after such election, without the joinder, approval or consent of Seller.

CLOSING ADJUSTMENTS
Section 7.01 General Prorations. The following will be apportioned at the Closing:

There will be no proration of rents accrued but not collected as of the Closing Date.
(b) Taxes and other assessments (including personal property taxes on the Personal Property) applicable to the Property. Special assessments certified
8
by any municipal utility district or other taxing authority prior to the Closing Date must be paid in their entirety by Seller at or before the Closing, except to the extent such assessments are payable in installments, in which event they shall be prorated between the parties. If the tax rate or assessed valuation or both have not yet been fixed, the proration shall be based on a good faith estimate as to the amount of such taxes for the current year after consideration of the tax rate and/or assessed valuation last fixed; provided that the parties hereto agree that to the extent the actual taxes for the current year differ from the amount so apportioned at the Closing, the parties hereto will make all necessary adjustments by appropriate payments between themselves following the Closing, and this provision shall survive delivery of the Deed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Tenant pays such taxes directly to the taxing authority, then such taxes paid directly by Tenant to the taxing authority shall not be prorated. Seller may, upon notice to Purchaser, at Seller’s option and at Seller’s expense, protest, appeal or institute such other proceedings as Purchaser may deem appropriate to effect a reduction of real estate or personal property assessments which are assessed prior to the Closing. Seller hereby indemnifies and holds harmless Purchaser from any loss, costs and damages caused by such contest and shall provide such bonds or other security as required in order to protest such taxes or assessments. The right to protest, appeal or institute proceedings shall expire one year after the date of Closing.
(c) Payments under any Service Contracts, if any, which pursuant to Section 4.06 Purchaser has agreed to assume at the Closing.
(d) Gas, electricity and other utility charges, if any, to be apportioned on the basis of the last meter reading. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Tenant pays such gas, electricity and other utility charges directly to the appropriate utility provider, then such charges paid directly by Tenant to the utility providers shall not be prorated.
In making such apportionments, Purchaser will receive credit for all rents and other income paid with respect to the day of the Closing, and Purchaser will be charged for taxes and other expenses incurred with respect to the day of the Closing. All apportionments are to be subject to post-closing adjustments as necessary to reflect later relevant information not available at the Closing and to correct any errors made at the Closing with respect to such apportionments; provided, however, that such apportionments shall be deemed final and not subject to further post-closing adjustments if no such adjustments have been requested in writing after a period of sixty (60) days from such time as all necessary information is available to make a complete and accurate determination of such apportionments. All apportionments (regardless of whether all relevant information has been received on errors have been made) are final and not subject to further post-closing adjustment one (1) year following the Closing Date.
9
Section 7.02 Specific Prorations. Anything hereinabove contained to the contrary notwithstanding:
(a) Seller shall retain and be entitled to receive any tax refunds issued after Closing to the extent applicable to the period prior to the Closing, but not otherwise. Seller may not initiate nor demand Purchaser initiate or continue any litigation to collect such tax refunds. There will be no proration of any insurance related expenses, it being agreed that Purchaser will obtain its own insurance coverage as of the Closing Date.
(b) Seller and Purchaser agree that all rents received after the Closing from Tenant after reasonable costs of collection, if any, incurred by Purchaser shall be applied first to current rentals owed by Tenant, and then to delinquent rentals, if any, owed by such tenant in the inverse order of their maturity, and Purchaser will deliver to Seller any such delinquent rentals owed Seller and received following the Closing. For a period of six (6) months following the Closing, Purchaser shall use reasonable efforts to collect for Seller any rental payments past due as of the Closing or due subsequent to Closing for a period prior to Closing, from Tenant; provided, however, Purchaser shall not be required to declare a lease default or institute any legal action in any court against Tenant. Seller will deliver to Purchaser, within five (5) business days following receipt, any rents received by Seller after the Closing and attributable to the period from and after the Closing. From and after the sixth (6th) month following the Closing Date, Seller shall have the right to pursue reasonable collection remedies against Tenant owing delinquent rentals owed Seller, provided that (i) Seller shall notify Purchaser of its intent to institute any collection remedy or proceeding not less than fifteen (15) days prior to the institution thereof, and (ii) Seller shall in no event institute any proceeding to evict or dispossess a tenant from the Property. Purchaser may, by written notice to Seller within ten (10) days of receipt of Seller’s notice of intent to institute collection remedies or proceedings, restrict Seller from collecting such delinquent rentals, but only if Purchaser first pays Seller such delinquent rentals in exchange for Seller’s assignment to Purchaser of all of Seller’s rights and causes of action with respect thereto.
(c) At the Closing, Seller shall credit to the account of Purchaser against the Purchase Price (i) any security deposit reflected as being made under the Lease or otherwise actually collected by Seller, together with all interest, if any, which must be paid thereon to Tenant thereunder; and (ii) all prepaid rents and other charges paid in advance by Tenant and attributable to the period after the Closing; and in each case, the Xxxx of Sale shall provide for Purchaser’s assumption of the obligation to return any such sums (and, if applicable, interest thereon) to the extent same are so credited, but not otherwise. If any security deposits are in the form of a letter of credit, Seller must deliver to Purchaser at Closing the original letter of credit, together with all assignment/transfer documentation (fully executed and bank authenticated, as applicable) and assignment/transfer fees required by the issuing entity to cause same to be reissued to Purchaser immediately following the Closing.
10
(d) Leasing commissions and tenant improvement expenses relating to the Lease shall be apportioned between the parties as follows:
(i) All such expenses relating to the Lease, and which are not contingent on renewal or expansion of the Lease after the Effective Date, shall be the sole obligation of Seller and shall be paid in full by Seller (regardless of whether any portion of such expenses may not otherwise become due until after the Closing Date), on or before the Closing Date and, if Purchaser fails to receive reasonably acceptable evidence of such payment (together with the release of any lien applicable thereto), the unpaid portion shall be credited against the Purchase Price.
(ii) All such expenses relating to the Leases executed before the Effective Date, which are solely payable with respect to and contingent upon renewal of the Lease or expansion into additional space by Tenant under the Lease after the Closing Date shall be the sole obligation of Purchaser, provided such expenses are disclosed in the Lease and commission agreements delivered to Purchaser during the Review Period. Any such expenses not so disclosed shall render Seller liable for any such expenses and, if Purchaser fails to receive reasonably acceptable evidence of payment (together with the release of any lien applicable thereto) on or before the Closing, Purchaser will receive a credit therefor against the Purchase Price.
(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that Tenant is responsible for paying any of the items which are to be prorated, then there shall only be a proration to the extent that the Tenant under the Lease is not obligated to pay for the same.
Section 7.03 Transaction Costs. Seller shall be responsible for (a) all attorneys fees and expenses, if any, of counsel to Seller; (b) all documentary stamp, transfer, surtax and excise taxes payable upon the transfer of the Property and/or recordation of the Deed; (c) the basic premium for the Owner’s Policy; (d) the cost of the Survey; and (e) one-half (1/2) of any escrow and other charges of the Title Company and recording fees. Purchaser shall be responsible for (a) all attorneys’ fees and expenses, if any, of counsel to Purchaser; (b) one-half (1/2) of any escrow and other charges of the Title Company; (c) the cost of any title insurance endorsements requested by the Purchaser; and (d) any other costs not expressly required to be paid by Seller pursuant to this Contract.

Purchaser represents to Seller that Purchaser has not engaged the services of any broker, finder or other agent in regard to this Contract other than Servant Investments, LLC, who shall be paid a commission by Purchaser pursuant to the terms of a separate agreement in the event the transaction contemplated by this Contract closes. Purchaser hereby agrees to indemnify Seller and hold Seller harmless against all liability, loss, cost, damage and expense (including, but not limited to, attorneys’ fees and court costs, including any appeal that may be filed) which Seller shall ever suffer or incur because of any claim by any broker, finder, or other agent, whether or not meritorious, for any fee, commission or other compensation with respect hereto resulting from the acts of Purchaser. Seller represents to Purchaser that Seller has not engaged the services of any real estate broker, finder or other agent in regard to this Contract other than CASE Commercial Real Estate Partners who shall be
11
paid a commission by Seller in the amount of Three Hundred Eighty-Seven Thousand Five Hundred and No/100 Dollars ($387,500.00) if the transaction contemplated by this Contract closes. Seller hereby agrees to indemnify Purchaser and hold Purchaser harmless against all liability, loss, cost, damage and expense (including, but not limited to, attorneys’ fees and court costs, including any appeal that may be filed) which Purchaser shall ever suffer or incur because of any claim by any broker, finder, or other agent, whether or not meritorious, for any fee, commission or other compensation with respect hereto resulting from the acts of Seller.

ARTICLE VIII
TERMINATION AND REMEDIES
Section 8.01 Purchaser’s Default. If Purchaser defaults under this Contract, Seller shall be entitled, as Seller’s sole and exclusive remedy, to terminate this Contract and receive delivery of the Xxxxxxx Money Deposit from the Title Company. Seller and Purchaser acknowledge and agree that delivery of the Xxxxxxx Money Deposit shall be deemed liquidated damages for Purchaser’s breach of this Contract, it being further agreed that the actual damages to Seller in the event of such breach are impractical to ascertain and the Xxxxxxx Money Deposit is a reasonable estimate thereof. Seller has no right to specifically enforce Purchaser’s obligations under this Contract nor to seek or otherwise collect any actual, out-of-pocket, lost profit, punitive, consequential, treble, or other damages from or against Purchaser, except for the indemnity obligations of Purchaser expressly set forth in this Contract and the right to recover attorneys’ fees set forth in Section 12.04 below, which shall not be limited by this Section 8.01. In no event shall any officer, director, agent or employee of Purchaser or its partners be personally liable for any of Purchaser’s obligations under this Contract or the documents to be delivered at the Closing.
Section 8.02 Seller’s Default. Subject to Section 9.03, if Seller defaults under this Contract which is not cured by Seller as provided herein, Purchaser shall be entitled, as Purchaser’s sole and exclusive remedies, to either (a) terminate this Contract upon written notice to Seller and receive delivery of the Xxxxxxx Money Deposit from the Title Company, together with all accrued interest thereon, or (b) pursue an action to enforce specific performance of Seller’s obligations under this Contract; provided that any action by Purchaser for specific performance must be filed, if at all, within ninety (90) days of Seller’s default, and the failure to file within such period shall constitute a waiver by Purchaser of such right and remedy. If Purchaser shall not have filed an action for specific performance within the aforementioned time period or so notified Seller of its election to terminate this Contract, Purchaser’s sole remedy shall be to terminate this Contract in accordance with clause (a) above. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if specific performance would not be an effective remedy as a result of Seller’s willful default, Purchaser may, in lieu of specific performance, but not in lieu of the return of the Xxxxxxx Money Deposit and Extension Deposit, collect its actual damages from Seller; provided, however, in no event shall Purchaser be entitled to indirect, consequential or punitive damages from Seller.

App. 1 et seq., and any Executive Orders or regulations promulgated thereunder.
Section 9.02 Purchaser’s Representations. Purchaser hereby represents and warrants to Seller, as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date, as follows:
(a) Purchaser is a Delaware limited liability company, duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its organization, and has all requisite power and authority to carry on its business as now conducted. This Contract constitutes a valid and binding obligation of Purchaser enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws of general application affecting the rights and remedies of creditors.
(b) Purchaser has the capacity and complete authority to enter into and perform this Contract, and no consent, approval or other action by any person or entity (other than the person signing this Contract on behalf of Purchaser and any approval to be obtained by Purchaser during the Review Period) will be needed thereafter to authorize Purchaser’s execution and performance of this Contract.
(c) (i) Purchaser is (A) not currently identified on the List, (B) not a person or entity with whom a citizen of the United States is prohibited to engage in transactions by any trade embargo, economic sanction, or other prohibition of United States law, regulation, or Executive Order of the President of the United States, and (C) not an Embargoed Person, (ii) to Purchaser’s actual knowledge, none of the funds or other assets of Purchaser constitute property of, or are beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, by any Embargoed Person, and (iii) to Purchaser’s actual knowledge, no Embargoed Person has any interest of any nature whatsoever in any Purchaser (whether directly or indirectly).
Section 9.03 Discovery. As used in this Contract, the phrase “Seller’s knowledge” or any derivation thereof shall mean the actual knowledge of Xxxx Xxxx, Vice President, Dispositions for Duke Realty Corporation, provided, however, Xxxx Xxxx shall have no duty to investigate the matter to which such actual knowledge, or the
15
absence thereof, pertains. It shall be a condition of Closing that the representations and warranties contained in this Article IX (the “Closing Date Representations”) are true and correct in all material respects at Closing. In the event that Seller or Purchaser learns that any of said representations or warranties becomes inaccurate between the Effective Date and the Closing, Seller or Purchaser, as applicable, shall immediately notify the other party in writing of such change (a “Notice of Inaccuracy”). The Closing shall be automatically extended up to thirty (30) days in order to allow Seller to cure such change if Seller elects, by written notice delivered to Purchaser within five (5) business days after Seller’s receipt of a Notice of Inaccuracy. In the event Seller so cures such change by the Closing Date (as the same may be extended pursuant to this Section 9.03), this Contract shall remain in full force and effect. If Seller does not cure such change by the Closing Date (as the same may be extended pursuant to this Section 9.03), Purchaser may either (a) terminate this Contract by written notice to Seller, in which case the Xxxxxxx Money Deposit, together with interest earned thereon, shall be returned to Purchaser and the parties shall have no further rights or obligations hereunder, except for those which expressly survive such termination, or (b) waive such right to terminate by proceeding with the transaction pursuant to the remaining terms and conditions of this Contract without any reduction in the Purchase Price. In the event Purchaser elects option (b) in the preceding sentence, the representations and warranties shall be deemed to be automatically amended to reflect said change. Notwithstanding and without limiting the foregoing, (i) if any of the representations or warranties of Seller that survive Closing contained in this Contract or in any document or instrument delivered in connection herewith are materially false or inaccurate, or Seller is in material breach or default of any of its obligations under this Contract that survive Closing, and Purchaser nonetheless closes the transactions hereunder and purchases the Property, then Seller shall have no liability or obligation respecting such false or inaccurate representations or warranties or other breach or default (and any cause of action resulting therefrom shall terminate upon the Closing) in the event that either (x) on or prior to Closing, Purchaser shall have had actual knowledge of the false or inaccurate representations or warranties or other breach or default, or (y) the accurate state of facts pertinent to such false or inaccurate representations or warranties or other breach or default was contained in any of the information respecting the Property furnished by Seller or otherwise obtained by Purchaser.
Section 9.04 Operating Covenants. Seller agrees to operate and maintain the Property prior to the Closing in a manner consistent with its current operating procedures, and shall not, without the prior written consent of Purchaser, do any of the following:
(a) Enter into any contract (other than leases which are subject to clause (b) below) that will not be fully performed by Seller on or before the Closing Date or that will not be susceptible of cancellation by Purchaser on or after the Closing Date upon thirty (30) days or less prior written notice, without cost or liability to Purchaser, or amend, modify or supplement any existing contract (other than leases which are subject to clause (b) below) or agreement in any material respect.
(b) Enter into any new lease or amend, modify, supplement or terminate the Lease. Seller agrees that, after the Review Period, Purchaser shall
16
have the right, without Seller’s consent, to enter into new leases affecting all or any portion of the Property, as long as any such lease will only take effect from and after the Closing Date and such lease is subject to and conditioned upon the completion of the Closing.
(c) Fail to maintain its current insurance covering Seller’s interest in the Property or advise Purchaser promptly of the occurrence of any fire or other casualty affecting the Property.
(d) Sell, assign or create any right, title or interest whatsoever in or to the Property (including any so-called “back-up” contracts which are expressly prohibited) or create any voluntary lien, thereon from and after the date of the Title Commitment, other than liens or encumbrances noted in the Title Commitment, without promptly discharging same or otherwise complying with the terms of Section 4.04.
(e) Intentionally take any action which would have the effect of violating any of the representations and warranties of Seller contained in this Contract.
Section 9.05 Purchaser’s Conditions Precedent. Purchaser is not obligated to perform under this Contract unless all of the following conditions precedent are satisfied (or waived in writing by Purchaser) and are otherwise true and correct as of the Closing Date:
(a) All of Seller’s representations and warranties are true and correct in all material respects.
(b) Seller has performed all of its covenants, agreements, and obligations under this Contract in all material respects and is otherwise not in default.
(c) From and after the expiration of the Review Period, there has been no material adverse change in the physical or environmental condition of the Property, in the matters reflected in the Title Commitment, the Survey, the rent roll or the operating statements delivered to, or reviewed by, Purchaser hereunder since the date of delivery, approval or review, as applicable, of such items, except to reflect those items approved or otherwise created in writing by Purchaser; provided, however, changes in the physical or environmental condition of the Property resulting from casualty shall be governed by Sections 11.01 and 11.02 of the this Contract.
Notwithstanding the generality of the foregoing, Seller shall use reasonable efforts to satisfy all of the foregoing conditions precedent. If Seller is unable to satisfy all of the foregoing conditions precedent, Purchaser may waive one or more conditions precedent, extend the Closing Date for up to an additional fifteen (15) days to permit satisfaction of the applicable conditions precedent or terminate this Contract, in any such event by written notice to Seller. If Purchaser elects to close, Purchaser will be deemed to have
17
waived any conditions actually known by Purchaser to be unsatisfied at the Closing. If Purchaser elects to terminate, the Xxxxxxx Money Deposit shall be immediately returned to Purchaser.
Section 9.06 Post-Closing Claim. If: (i) Purchaser makes a claim against Seller with regard to a representation or warranty which expressly survives Closing, (ii) Purchaser makes such claim within one (1) year after the Closing, and (iii) Purchaser obtains a final and non-appealable judgment against Seller which remains unpaid for a period of thirty (30) days, then Seller agrees that Purchaser shall have the right to trace the Purchase Price to the extent necessary to satisfy such claim. Seller represents to Purchaser that Seller has (or will prior to distribution of any such disposition proceeds) provide written notice to Seller’s partners, shareholders and members (and, if such partners, shareholders and members are entities whose sole material asset is their respective interest in Seller, their respective members, partners and affiliates) of this tracing provision. Seller acknowledges and agrees that Purchaser has relied and has the right to rely upon the foregoing in connection with Purchaser’s consummation of the transaction set forth in this Contract.
Section 9.07 Seller’s Conditions Precedent. Seller is not obligated to perform under this Contract unless all of the following conditions precedent are satisfied (or waived in writing by Seller) and are otherwise true and correct as of the Closing Date:
(a) Seller receiving all corporate and partnership approvals to complete this transaction on or before the third (3rd) Tuesday following the Effective Date (the “Seller Approval Date”). In the event this condition is not satisfied on or prior to the Seller Approval Date, Seller may deliver written notice thereof to Purchaser on or before the Seller Approval Date, whereupon this Contract shall cease and terminate, the Xxxxxxx Money Deposit shall be returned and paid to Purchaser, and neither party shall have any further obligation hereunder except those which expressly survive the termination of this Contract. If Seller fails to so notify Purchaser on or before the Seller Approval Date, this condition shall be deemed waived.
(b) Purchaser has performed all of its covenants, agreements, and obligations under this Contract in all material respects and is otherwise not in default.
In the event Seller terminates this Contract as a result of Section 9.07(a), then Purchaser shall be entitled to a reimbursement of reasonable costs and expenses incurred in its due diligence efforts in evaluating the Property within thirty (30) days following Seller’s receipt of an invoice and reasonable documentation supporting such costs and expenses, which reimbursement shall not exceed One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000.00) in the aggregate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section 9.07 shall waive or diminish any right or remedy Seller may have for Purchaser’s default or breach of this Contract.

Section 1445 of the Internal Revenue Code provides that a transferee of a U.S. real property interest must withhold tax if the transferor is a foreign person. For U.S. tax purposes (including Section 1445), the owner of a disregarded entity (which has legal title to a U.S. real property interest under local law) will be the transferor of the property and not the disregarded entity. To inform (“Transferee”), that withholding of tax under Section 1445 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), will not be required upon the transfer of certain real property to Transferee by (“Transferor”), the undersigned hereby certifies the following on behalf of Transferor:
1. | Transferor is not a foreign corporation, foreign partnership, foreign trust or foreign estate (as those terms are defined in the Code and the Income Tax Regulations promulgated thereunder); |
2. | Transferor is not a disregarded entity as defined in Treasury Regulations § 1.1445-2(b)(2)(iii); |
3. | Transferor’s U.S. employer identification number is ; and |
4. | Transferor’s address is . |
Transferor understands that this Certification may be disclosed to the Internal Revenue Service by Transferee and that any false statement contained herein could be punished by fine, imprisonment, or both.
Under penalty of perjury I declare that I have examined this Certification and to the best of my knowledge and belief it is true, correct and complete, and I further declare that I have authority to sign this document on behalf of Transferor.
