At Closing, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser a schedule of all such past due but uncollected rent and other sums owed by tenants. Purchaser shall include the amount of such rent and other sums in the bills thereafter submitted to the tenants in question after the Closing. Purchaser shall not be obligated to commence a lawsuit to collect any such sums or to evict any tenant for the failure to pay any such sums but Seller shall retain the right to do so after the Closing provided Seller may not seek to terminate any Lease or evict any tenant.

(c) to the extent not set forth on the schedule of uncollected rent described in Section 4.C.(i)(b) above, “percentage” or “overage” rent (“Percentage Rent”) that is (1) attributable to any Percentage Rent lease year in which the Closing Date falls and (2) not yet determinable as of the Closing Date (collectively, “Current Year Percentage Rent”), shall be prorated as follows: promptly upon receipt by Purchaser, Purchaser shall furnish to Seller copies of all sales reports from tenants relative to Current Year Percentage Rent, including, without limitation, all sales reports with respect to any tenants whose Percentage Rent lease years have expired as of the Closing but whose sales reports were not delivered to Seller as of the Closing Date and sales reports of any tenants whose Percentage Rent lease years expire after the Closing, and the amount of any Current Year Percentage Rent shall be payable in accordance with such tenant’s Lease as existing as of the Closing Date, and Purchaser shall (to the extent not paid to Seller by way of estimated payments from the tenant prior to Closing) pay to Seller a portion of such rent based upon the apportionment being made as of the Closing Date (in proportion to the relative number of days in the subject Percentage Rent Lease year occurring prior and subsequent to the Closing Date), promptly after the date when such rent is received from the tenant;

(d) Seller, as landlord under the Leases, is currently collecting from tenants additional rent to cover taxes, insurance, utilities, maintenance and other operating costs and expenses incurred by Seller (such expenses, collectively “Expenses” and such collections, collectively “Collections”). Non-delinquent Collections for the month in which Closing occurs shall be prorated in the same manner as other rents. Within sixty (60) days after the Closing occurs, Seller shall calculate the Expenses incurred and Collections received for the year of Closing by Seller and shall prepare and present to Purchaser for its review and approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, a calculation of the Collections received and Expenses incurred by Seller. Seller shall make any necessary adjusting payment to Purchaser, due to any over-collection by Seller, within forty five (45) days after presentment to, and approval by, Purchaser of Seller’s calculation and Purchaser shall make any necessary adjusting payment to Seller, due to any under-collection by Seller, within thirty (30) days after presentment to, and approval by Purchaser of Seller’s calculation. Either party may inspect the other’s books and records related to the Property to confirm the calculation.

(e) Seller is currently collecting from JT an annual payment to cover JT’s share of common area charges under the Walgreens REA (the “JT CAM”). Non-delinquent JT CAM for the calendar year in which Closing occurs shall be prorated based upon the number of days Seller and Purchaser each own the Property during the calendar year in which the Closing occurs. Any JT CAM which is due and payable to Seller as of Closing but which is uncollected as of Closing shall not be adjusted, but Purchaser shall cause any such delinquent JT CAM and other sums attributable to the period prior to Closing to be promptly remitted to Seller if, as and when collected. At Closing, Seller shall retain the right to commence a lawsuit for the failure of JT to pay any of the sums described in this clause (e) after Closing, provided Seller may not seek to terminate the Walgreens REA.

(f) If Closing occurs, Purchaser shall be responsible for the payment of all Tenant Inducement Costs (as hereinafter defined) and leasing commissions which become due and payable after Closing (A) as a result of any renewal option or expansion option with respect to existing Leases, which option has not been exercised as of the date hereof, (B) under any new Leases entered into after the date hereof to the extent such new Lease is approved or deemed approved by Purchaser in accordance with Section 5.A hereof, or (C) which are set forth in a Lease, have not accrued prior to Closing and are due and payable after Closing. Seller shall be responsible for the payment of all Tenant Inducement Costs and leasing commissions which are not described in clause (A), (B) or (C) of the preceding sentence. 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. If, as of the Closing, Seller shall not have paid any Tenant Inducement Costs or leasing commissions for which Seller is responsible, Purchaser shall receive a credit at Closing in such amounts. 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, signage costs, lease buyout costs, and moving, design, refurbishment and club membership allowances (but excluding legal fees incurred in connection with the preparation and negotiation of the lease). 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 loss resulting from any free rent period until the date of Closing and Purchaser shall bear such loss from and after the date of Closing.

(g) the amount of all security deposits held by Seller under the Leases shall be credited to Purchaser at Closing;

(h) to the extent not paid directly by tenants, gas, water, electric, telephone and all other utility and fuel charges, fuel on hand (at cost plus sales tax), and any deposits with utility companies assigned to Purchaser (to the extent possible, utility prorations will be handled by final meter readings obtained from the utility providers at least two (2) Business Days preceding the Closing Date);

(i) amounts due and prepayments under the Service Contracts assigned to Purchaser under this Agreement;

(j) assignable license and permit fees;

(k) other similar items of income and expenses of operation if and to the extent not paid or reimbursed by Tenants.

Any such reproration shall be paid promptly in cash to the party entitled thereto.

(iii) The terms of this Section 4.C., to the extent they call for adjustments, prorations or payments after Closing (collectively, “Post-Closing Adjustments”), shall survive the Closing.

Purchaser’s failure to timely provide such written notice shall be deemed Purchaser’s election to close. If Purchaser elects to consummate the transaction contemplated by this Agreement or fails to timely elect to terminate this Agreement, or if a casualty or condemnation is immaterial, Purchaser shall be entitled (a) in the event of a condemnation, to receive the condemnation proceeds, and (b) in the event of a casualty, to settle the loss under all policies of insurance applicable to the destruction or damage and receive the proceeds of insurance applicable thereto, and Seller shall, at Closing, execute and deliver to Purchaser all customary proofs of loss, assignments of claims and other similar items. If, upon a material condemnation or casualty prior to Closing, Purchaser timely elects to terminate this Agreement, the Xxxxxxx Money shall be returned to Purchaser, in which event this Agreement shall, without further action of the parties, become null and void and neither party shall have any further rights or obligations under this Agreement.

Seller reserves the right to meet with governmental officials with respect to any pending conveyance in lieu of condemnation and retains all rights to cause such conveyances to occur prior to Closing and retains all rights with respect to any award or payment made or to be made in connection therewith. No award or payment made to Seller shall reduce the Purchase Price to be paid hereunder.

BROKERAGE

Seller has engaged Xxxxxxxx Xxxx Company (represented by Xxxxxxx Xxxxx (“TCC”) to act as its broker in connection with the sale of the Property. Seller shall pay any commission or fee due TCC in connection with this transaction. Purchaser and Seller each hereby represents and warrants to the other that it has not dealt with any broker, finder or other party in connection with the negotiation of this Agreement or otherwise in connection with the Property, except TCC. Seller and Purchaser shall each indemnify and hold the other harmless from and against any and all claims of all other brokers and finders claiming by, through or under the indemnifying party and in any way related to the sale and purchase of the Property, this Agreement or otherwise, including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred by the indemnified party in connection with such claim.

DEFAULT AND REMEDIES

A. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if Closing does not occur solely due to a default by Seller hereunder, Purchaser may (A) as Purchaser’s sole and exclusive remedy, terminate this Agreement and thereupon shall be entitled to (i) the immediate return of the Xxxxxxx Money, together with all accrued interest thereon, and (ii) a reimbursement from the Seller of all of Purchaser’s costs and expenses incurred by Purchaser in connection with negotiating and preparing this Agreement, examining and inspecting the Property, and preparing for Closing (including, without limitation, all reasonable attorneys’ fees), not to exceed Fifty Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($50,000.00), in which event this Agreement shall be null and void, and neither party shall have any rights or obligations under this Agreement (except as may expressly survive termination of this Agreement), or (B) as Purchaser’s sole and exclusive remedy, enforce specific performance hereof; provided an action is filed within one-hundred eighty (180) days of the termination of this Agreement. In no event shall Seller be liable to Purchaser for any actual, punitive, speculative, consequential or other damages, except as specified above

B. If Purchaser fails to complete closing in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, then this Agreement may be terminated by Seller and Seller shall (subject to Section 3.B) be entitled to the Xxxxxxx Money as Seller’s sole remedy and as liquidated damages. Seller and Purchaser acknowledge and agree that: (i) the Xxxxxxx Money is a reasonable estimate of and bears a reasonable relationship to the damages that would be suffered and costs incurred by Seller as a result of having withdrawn the Property from sale and the failure of Closing to occur due to a default of Purchaser under this Agreement; (ii) the actual damages suffered and costs incurred by Seller as a result of such withdrawal and failure to close due to a default of Purchaser under this Agreement would be extremely difficult and impractical to determine; (iii) Purchaser seeks to limit its liability under this Agreement to the amount of the Xxxxxxx Money in the event this Agreement does not close due to a default by Purchaser under this Agreement; and (iv) such amount shall constitute valid liquidated damages; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not limit Seller’s recourse against Purchaser under Sections 8, 10.A and 11.

C. After Closing and subject to any limitations set forth in this Agreement, including but not limited to Sections 12.J and 12.L, Seller and Purchaser shall, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, have such rights and remedies as are available at law or in equity, but only for such obligations as expressly survive Closing; except that neither Seller nor Purchaser shall be entitled to recover from the other consequential, exemplary, punitive or special damages.

10.

CONDITION PRECEDENT

A. Review Period. Purchaser shall have a period of fifteen (15) Business Days beginning on the date hereof within which to inspect and investigate the Property and its operations (the “Review Period”). If Purchaser determines that the Property is unsuitable for its purposes and notifies Seller of such decision within the Review Period, the Xxxxxxx Money shall be returned to Purchaser, at which time this Agreement shall be null and void and neither party shall have any further rights or obligations under this Agreement, except those which by their terms expressly survive such termination. Seller shall cooperate with Purchaser to allow Purchaser and Purchaser’s Representatives access to the Property, to allow Purchaser and Purchaser’s Representatives access to all non-proprietary information and documentation, and otherwise to promptly deliver such non-proprietary information and documentation to Purchaser, relating to the Property and its operations as Purchaser may reasonably request but excluding internal correspondence, analyses, appraisals, projections or similar items. Subject to Section 0.X, Xxxxxxxxx’s failure to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 10.A within the Review Period shall be deemed a waiver by Purchaser of the condition contained in this Section 10.A. Purchaser’s right of inspection pursuant to this Section 10.A is and shall remain subject to the rights of tenants under the Leases and other occupants and users of the Property. No inspection shall be undertaken without 48 hours’ prior verbal notice to Seller. Seller shall have the right to be present at any or all inspections. Neither Purchaser nor its agents or representatives shall contact any tenants without the prior consent of Seller. No inspection shall involve the taking of samples or other physically invasive procedures without the prior consent of Seller. Purchaser shall restore the Property to its condition existing prior to the inspection of the Property hereunder. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Purchaser shall indemnify, defend (with counsel reasonably acceptable to Seller) and hold Seller and its employees and agents, and each of them, harmless from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees incurred in connection therewith) arising out of or resulting from Purchaser’s exercise of its rights under this Section 10.A and such indemnity shall survive the Closing and any termination of this Agreement.

B. Estoppel Certificates. As a condition to Purchaser’s obligation to close hereunder, Purchaser shall have received estoppel certificates (“Estoppel Certificates”) from (i) individual tenants occupying in excess of 5,000 square feet and such additional tenants as are necessary, if any, such that Estoppel Certificates are executed by tenants occupying at least eighty percent (80%) of the rentable space actually leased as of the date of Closing pursuant to valid and existing Leases (excluding license agreements and any agreements with a term of one year or less) (“Required Tenants”), and (ii) the REA Parties with respect to the REAs, each in the form and content as set forth herein (the aforesaid acceptable Estoppel Certificates to be delivered are collectively referred to as the “Required Estoppel Certificates”). The Estoppel Certificates delivered to the tenants for execution shall be in the form of Exhibit N attached hereto (the “Form Tenant Estoppel Certificate”). The Estoppel Certificates delivered to the REA Parties for execution shall be in the form of Exhibit O attached hereto (the “Form REA Estoppel Certificate”). The Estoppel Certificates executed by tenants shall be in substantially the form of the Form Tenant Estoppel Certificate; provided, however, that an Estoppel Certificate executed by a tenant shall not be deemed an unacceptable Estoppel Certificate for purposes of this Section

10.B if it (a) does not contain the information requested in item 4 on the Form Tenant Estoppel Certificate, or (b) contains the qualification by the tenant of any statement as being to its knowledge or as being subject to any similar qualification, or (c) does not contain any more information than that which the tenant is required to give in any such certificate pursuant to its Lease, or (d) fails to certify to Purchaser’s lender. The Estoppel Certificates executed by the REA Parties shall be in substantially the form of the Form REA Estoppel Certificate; provided, however that an Estoppel Certificate executed by an REA Party shall not be deemed an unacceptable Estoppel Certificate for purposes of this Section 10.B if it (x) contains the qualification by the REA Party of any statement as being to its knowledge or as being subject to any similar qualification, or (y) fails to certify to Purchaser’s lender.

In the event Seller is unable to provide to Purchaser the Estoppel Certificates for the Required Tenants or the REA Parties on or before Closing, Seller may, at its option, elect to execute and deliver to Purchaser certificates (individually, a “Seller Estoppel Certificate,” and, collectively, the “Seller Estoppel Certificates”), substantially in the same form as the certificate attached hereto as Exhibit P for tenants (the “Form Seller Tenant Estoppel Certificate”) and Exhibit Q for the REA Parties (the “Form Seller REA Estoppel Certificate”), covering the particular tenants and/or REA Parties necessary so that Purchaser shall be deemed to have received, at Closing, Estoppel Certificates and Seller Estoppel Certificates with respect to the Required Tenants and the REA Parties. In the event that Seller elects to deliver such Seller Estoppel Certificates, each statement therein shall survive for a period terminating on the earlier to occur of (i) the date on which Purchaser has received an executed Estoppel Certificate signed by the tenant under the Lease in question or the REA Party under the REA in question, or (ii) one hundred twenty (120) days from the Closing Date. If Purchaser receives an estoppel certificate which contains some but not all of the matters set forth in the Estoppel Certificate (a “Partial Certificate”) and Seller provides a Seller Estoppel Certificate for such tenant and/or such REA Party, then the Seller Estoppel Certificate may omit matters contained in the Partial Certificate. In the event that Seller does not provide to Purchaser either Estoppel Certificates or Seller Estoppel Certificates for the Required Tenants or the REA Parties, Purchaser may, by written notice to Seller given on the Closing Date, either (a) elect not to purchase the Property, in which event the Xxxxxxx Money shall be returned to Purchaser, at which time this Agreement shall terminate and become null and void and neither party shall have any further rights or obligations under this Agreement, except for those which expressly survive termination of this Agreement, or (b) elect to purchase the Property notwithstanding Seller’s inability to provide the Required Estoppel Certificates, in which event Purchaser shall be deemed to have waived the condition contained in this Section 10.B. If Purchaser fails to deliver such written notice as described above, Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected item (b) above.

If any Estoppel Certificate contains statements confirming any of Seller’s representations or warranties set forth herein or in a Seller Estoppel Certificate, the Seller shall be deemed not to have made such representations or warranties as to such Lease or REA. If any Estoppel Certificate or Seller Estoppel Certificate contains statements or allegations that a default or potential default exists on the part of Seller under the Lease or REA in question or contains information inconsistent with any representations of Seller contained in this Agreement or in a Seller Estoppel Certificate and Purchaser elects to close the purchase and sale transaction contemplated herein notwithstanding the existence of such statements, allegations or information, then such Estoppel Certificates and/or Seller Estoppel Certificates shall be deemed acceptable for purposes of this Section, notwithstanding the existence of such allegations, statements or information, and Seller shall have no liability to Purchaser hereunder with respect to the existence of such allegations, statements or information.

Upon Purchaser’s written request, Seller shall include in any request for a Tenant Estoppel Certificate sent to a tenant, a form of subordination, nondisturbance and attornment agreement (“SNDA”) for execution by such tenant provided (i) Seller receives Purchaser’s written request and form(s) no later than thirty (30) Business days prior to Closing, (ii) such tenant will be directed to return the SNDA directly to Purchaser and (iii) receipt of any SNDA by Purchaser shall not be a condition to Closing.

11.

PROPERTY INFORMATION AND CONFIDENTIALITY

A. Confidentiality. Except as may be required by law, without the prior written consent of Seller, and unless the Closing occurs, Purchaser shall not disclose to any third party the existence of this Agreement or any term or condition thereof or the results of any inspections or studies undertaken in connection herewith or make any public pronouncements, issue any press releases or otherwise furnish the Information (hereinafter defined) or any information regarding this Agreement, or the transactions contemplated hereby to any third party; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not be construed to prevent Purchaser from making (without the consent of, but upon notice to, the other party) any disclosure required by any applicable law or regulation or judicial process. For purposes hereof, “Information” shall mean and shall be deemed to include, without limitation, the following written or oral information provided by or on behalf of Seller to Purchaser, its agents, employees, representatives, professional consultants or lenders (collectively, “Purchaser’s Representatives”) either prior to or following the date of this Agreement: (a) all documentation and/or information described in or relating to Section 1 of this Agreement, including, without limitation, Leases, Tangible Personal Property, Service Contracts and all other information regarding the operation, ownership, maintenance, management, or occupancy of the Property; (b) the Survey, if applicable; and (c) any reports, tests, or studies (together with the results of such studies and tests obtained or provided by, or on behalf of, Seller).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller’s delivery and Purchaser’s use of the Information are subject to the following terms: Purchaser shall (i) accept and hold all Information in strict confidence in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; (ii) not copy, reproduce, distribute or disclose the Information to any third party other than Purchaser’s Representatives, except as permitted in the preceding paragraph; (iii) not use the Information for any purpose other than in connection with the transactions contemplated hereunder; and (iv) not use the Information in any manner detrimental to Seller or the Property. Purchaser agrees to transmit the Information only to those Purchaser’s Representatives who are actively and directly participating in the evaluation of the acquisition of the Property, who are informed of and who have agreed to comply with the terms of this Section 11 of this Agreement and who are instructed not to make use of the Information in a manner inconsistent herewith. Purchaser shall be responsible for any breach of the terms of this Agreement by Purchaser’s Representatives or any other person to whom the Information is communicated. Purchaser agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Seller, its members, officers, directors, shareholders, partners, employees, beneficiaries, trustees, agents and representatives harmless against all losses, claims, suits, damages and liabilities resulting from Purchaser’s breach of this Section 11, as well as any breach thereof by Purchaser’s Representatives, which indemnification shall survive the Closing or termination of this Agreement.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any party to this Agreement (and any employee, representative, or other agent of any party to this Agreement) may disclose to any and all persons, without limitation of any kind, the tax treatment and tax structure of any transaction contemplated by this agreement and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to it relating to such tax treatment and tax structure; provided, however, that such disclosure may not be made (i) until the earlier of (x) the date of the public announcement of discussions relating to the transaction, (y) the date of the public announcement of the transaction and (z) the date of the execution of an agreement to enter into the transaction and (ii) to the extent required to be kept confidential to comply with any applicable federal or state securities laws. The provisions of this paragraph are intended to comply with the requirements of the presumption set forth in Treasury Regulations Section 1.6011-4 (B)(3) and are not intended to permit the disclosure of any Information that is not subject to the requirements of such presumption.

B. Purchaser hereby agrees it will not release or cause or permit to be released any press notices, publicity (oral or written) or advertising promotion relating to, or otherwise announce or disclose or cause or permit to be announced or disclosed, in any manner whatsoever, the terms, conditions, parties to or substance of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated herein, without first obtaining the written consent of Seller, as to the portion of the disclosure relating to this transaction, the Property or Seller and its affiliates, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. It is understood that the foregoing shall not preclude Purchaser from discussing the substance or any relevant details of the transactions contemplated in this Agreement, subject to the terms of this Section 11, with any of Purchaser’s Representatives (defined below), accountants, professional consultants or potential lenders, as the case may be, or prevent Purchaser hereto from complying with applicable laws or court orders.

C. The provisions of this Section 11 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

PURCHASER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE PROVIDED IN THIS AGREEMENT, AT CLOSING SELLER SHALL SELL AND CONVEY TO PURCHASER AND PURCHASER SHALL ACCEPT THE PROPERTY “AS IS, WHERE IS, WITH ALL FAULTS”. EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT EXPRESSLY PROVIDED OTHERWISE IN THIS AGREEMENT, PURCHASER HAS NOT RELIED AND WILL NOT RELY ON, AND NEITHER SELLER NOR ANY OF SELLER’S AFFILIATES IS LIABLE FOR OR BOUND BY, ANY EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES, GUARANTIES, STATEMENTS, REPRESENTATIONS OR INFORMATION PERTAINING TO THE PROPERTY OR RELATING THERETO (INCLUDING SPECIFICALLY, WITHOUT LIMITATION, PROPERTY INFORMATION PACKAGES DISTRIBUTED WITH RESPECT TO THE PROPERTY) MADE OR FURNISHED BY SELLER, ANY REAL ESTATE BROKER OR AGENT REPRESENTING OR PURPORTING TO REPRESENT SELLER, OR ANY THIRD-PARTY, TO WHOMEVER MADE OR GIVEN, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, ORALLY OR IN WRITING.

UPON CLOSING, EXCEPT FOR SELLER’S REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES THAT WILL SURVIVE CLOSING, PURCHASER SHALL ASSUME THE RISK THAT ADVERSE MATTERS, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO CONSTRUCTION DEFECTS AND ADVERSE PHYSICAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS, MAY NOT HAVE BEEN REVEALED BY PURCHASER’S INVESTIGATIONS, AND PURCHASER, UPON EXPIRATION OF THE REVIEW PERIOD, SHALL BE DEEMED TO HAVE WAIVED, RELINQUISHED AND RELEASED SELLER AND SELLER’S AFFILIATES FROM AND AGAINST ANY AND ALL CLAIMS, DEMANDS, CAUSES OF ACTION (INCLUDING CAUSES OF ACTION IN TORT), LOSSES, DAMAGES, LIABILITIES, COSTS AND EXPENSES (INCLUDING ATTORNEYS’ FEES AND COURT COSTS) OF ANY AND EVERY KIND OR CHARACTER, KNOWN OR UNKNOWN, WHICH PURCHASER MIGHT HAVE ASSERTED OR ALLEGED AGAINST SELLER OR SELLER’S AFFILIATES AT ANY TIME BY REASON OF OR ARISING OUT OF ANY LATENT OR PATENT CONSTRUCTION DEFECTS OR PHYSICAL CONDITIONS, VIOLATIONS OF ANY

H. If for any reason Purchaser does not consummate the Closing, then Purchaser shall, upon Seller’s written request, assign and transfer to Seller, without representation, warranty or recourse, all of its right, title and interest in and to any and all studies, reports, surveys and other information, data and/or documents relating to the Property or any part thereof prepared by or at the request of Purchaser, its employees and agents, and shall deliver to Seller copies of all of the foregoing.

I. After Closing, Seller shall not be liable to Purchaser in respect of obligations under this Agreement or any documents delivered at Closing which survive Closing for any amounts less than Twenty Five Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($25,000.00) or in excess of Five Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($500,000.00) in the aggregate, Purchaser hereby waiving any and all claims it may have to such recoveries in excess of, or less than, the foregoing amounts.

Section 1.6045-4(e)(5) relating to the requirements for information reporting on real estate transaction closed on or after January 1, 1991. In this regard, Seller and Purchaser each agree to execute at Closing, and to cause the Title Insurer to execute at Closing, a Designation Agreement, designating Title Insurer as the reporting person with respect to the transaction contemplated by this Agreement.

K. Purchaser agrees that it does not have and will not have any claims or causes of action against any disclosed or undisclosed trustee, partner, affiliate, subsidiary, beneficiary, principal, member, agent, managing entity, shareholder, director, officer, or employee of Seller (whether direct or indirect), including, without limitation, their attorneys, accountants, consultants, engineers, brokers, and advisors (collectively, “Seller’s Affiliates”), arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby and further agrees not to xxx or otherwise seek to enforce any personal obligation against any of Seller’s Affiliates with respect to any matters arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

L. Seller shall have the exclusive right to file and control any tax appeal for the real estate taxes attributable to the period prior to and including the calendar year 2003 (the “Pre-2004 Tax Period”) but shall keep Purchaser informed of the progress and outcome of any

such appeal. To the extent that Seller shall receive a refund therefor, Seller shall disburse to any tenant not in default under its Lease a portion of such refund as may be due that tenant under its Lease. Purchaser shall have the exclusive right to file and control any tax appeal for the real estate taxes attributable to the period after and including the calendar year 2004 (the “2004 Tax Period”). To the extent that Purchaser shall receive a refund therefor, Purchaser shall disburse to any tenant not in default under its Lease a portion of such refund as may be due that tenant under its Lease. The remainder of the refund, if any, shall be prorated between Purchaser and Seller pursuant to Section 4.C. after deducting therefrom the cost and expenses reasonably incurred in pursuing the appeal and not charged to tenants. The terms of this Section 12.M. shall survive the Closing.

M. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, any or all of which may contain the signatures of less than all of the parties, and all of which shall be construed together as a single instrument. For purposes of this Agreement, a facsimile of an executed counterpart shall constitute an original.

N. In the event of litigation between the parties with respect to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, the prevailing party therein shall be entitled to recover from the losing party therein its reasonable attorney’s fees and costs of suit.

Q. The captions contained in this Agreement are not a part of this Agreement. They are only for the convenience of the parties and do not in any way modify, amplify or give full notice of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement.

R. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective legal or personal representatives, heirs, executors, administrators, successors, and permitted assigns.

S. Each party shall cooperate with the other and shall execute any and all documents necessary to allow such party (or its affiliates) to effectuate the conveyance of the Property as an exchange under Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code (“Exchange”); provided however, that at no time shall the cooperating party be required to take title to real estate other than the Property or incur any obligations other than those set forth elsewhere in this Agreement. The exchanging party shall pay all reasonable costs which may be incurred by the cooperating party in connection with such tax free exchange and the exchanging party shall indemnify the cooperating party and hold it harmless from any loss, cost, damage, expense or liability incurred in connection therewith.

T. Neither this Agreement nor a memorandum thereof shall be recorded by any party.

U. Unless otherwise expressly provided herein, no waiver by Seller or Purchaser of any provision hereof shall be deemed to have been made unless expressed in writing and signed by such party. No delay or omission in the exercise of any right or remedy accruing to Seller or Purchaser upon any breach under this Agreement shall impair such right or remedy or be construed as a waiver of any such breach theretofore or thereafter occurring. The waiver by Seller or Purchaser of any breach of any term, covenant or condition herein stated shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any other breach, or of a subsequent breach of the same or any other term, covenant or condition herein contained.

V. If any time period under this Agreement ends on a day other than a Business Day, then the time period shall be extended until the next Business Day. The term “Business Day” shall mean Monday through Friday excluding holidays recognized by the state government of the State in which the property is located.
