Borrower shall provide a substitute guarantor in connection with the assumption of the Loan that shall be structured and have sufficient net worth to serve as a replacement guarantor and environmental indemnitor under the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer acknowledges that any such assumption of the Loan is subject to the approval of the Lender in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Loan Documents if Buyer is not a Qualified Transferee, and without limiting any other provision or obligation of Seller or Buyer contained herein, neither Seller nor Buyer shall have any liability or obligation in the event that Lender does not approve such assumption. Any documents required to effectuate the assumption of the Loan, as described above, are referred to herein as the “Assumption Documents”. Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.3 above, and without in any way modifying the same, the Assumption Documents shall be in form and substance reasonably acceptable to each of Buyer and Seller.

7
Buyer shall indemnify Seller, and hold Seller and all of the Seller Related Parties harmless from and against any and all claims, liabilities, losses, damages, costs and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, arising out of or in any way connected with the Loan and the Loan Documents. The provisions of the foregoing indemnity shall survive the Closing hereunder. If either (i) Lender’s approval of the Loan Assumption as described above or (ii) Lender’s determination that Buyer is a Qualified Transferee which shall create a single purpose, bankruptcy remote entity to acquire the Property, is not obtained on or before December 13, 2011, either party may terminate this Agreement by written notice to the other party, in which case the Deposit shall be returned to Buyer and neither party shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder except for its rights for any default by a party hereunder and except as provided in Sections 6.1, 9.3, 9.5 and 9.9 hereof.

With respect to any determination of whether any representations and warranties are true and correct in all material respects at Closing, any Exception Matters, as defined below, shall be included in making such determination.
Section 3.2 | No Liability for Exception Matters. |
As used herein, the term “Exception Matter” shall refer to a matter which would make a representation or warranty of Seller contained in this Agreement untrue or incorrect and which is disclosed to Buyer in the Due Diligence Materials, the Disclosure Items or with respect to which Buyer has knowledge (as defined in Section 3.4 below) before the Closing, including, without limitation, matters disclosed in any tenant estoppel certificate or from interviews with tenants, property managers or any other person. If Buyer first obtains knowledge of any Material Exception Matter, as such term is defined below, after the close of the Contingency Period and prior to Closing and such Exception Matter was not contained in the Due Diligence Materials or the Disclosure Items, Buyer’s sole remedy shall be to terminate this Agreement on the basis thereof, upon written notice to Seller within the earlier of (a) five business (5) days following Buyer’s discovery of such Exception Matter or (b) the Closing, whichever occurs first, in which event the Deposit shall be returned to Buyer, unless within five business (5) days after receipt of
10
such notice or by the Closing, whichever occurs first, Seller notifies Buyer in writing that it elects to attempt to cure or remedy such Exception Matter, in which event there shall be no return of the Deposit unless and until Seller is unable to so cure or remedy within the time period set forth below. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, in the event Seller or any of the Seller Related Parties commits an Intentional Rep Default, and Buyer first obtains knowledge of such Intentional Rep Default after the close of the Contingency Period and prior to Closing, Buyer’s sole remedy shall be to terminate this Agreement on the basis thereof, upon written notice to Seller within the earlier of (a) five business (5) days following Buyer’s discovery of such Intentional Rep Default or (b) the Closing, whichever occurs first, in which event the Deposit shall be returned to Buyer and Seller shall pay Buyer’s Costs, unless within five business (5) days after receipt of such notice or by the Closing, whichever occurs first, Seller notifies Buyer in writing that it elects to attempt to cure or remedy such Exception Matter, in which event there shall be no return of the Deposit and Seller shall not pay Buyer’s Costs unless and until Seller is unable to so cure or remedy within the time period set forth below. Seller shall be entitled to extend the Closing Date (as defined in Section 8.2 below) for up to fifteen (15) business days in order to attempt to cure or remedy any Exception Matter or Intentional Rep Default. Seller shall give written notice to Buyer of any matter of which Seller acquires knowledge (as defined in Section 3.4 below), that would make a representation or warranty of Seller contained in this Agreement untrue or incorrect in any material respect prior to the earlier of (i) five (5) business days following Seller’s acquiring knowledge of such matter, and (ii) the Closing. Seller shall have no obligation to cure or remedy any Exception Matter. If Seller has notified Buyer of Seller’s election to attempt to cure or remedy any Exception Matters or Intentional Rep Default (except as specifically provided in Section 4.1(c) hereof), subject to Buyer’s right to terminate this Agreement (and, in the case of an Intentional Rep Default, to collect Buyer’s Costs) as set forth above, Seller shall have no liability whatsoever to Buyer with respect to such Exception Matters or Intentional Rep Default. Upon any termination of this Agreement, neither party shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder, except as provided in Sections 6.1, 9.3, 9.5 and 9.9 below. If Buyer obtains knowledge of any Exception Matter before the Closing, but nonetheless elects to proceed with the acquisition of the Property or is obligated to proceed with the acquisition of the Property (because the Exception Matter is not a Material Exception Matter), Seller shall have no liability with respect to such Exception Matter, notwithstanding any contrary provision, covenant, representation or warranty contained in this Agreement or in any Other Documents (as defined in Section 9.19 below). As used in this Section 3.2, the term “Material Exception Matter” shall mean an Exception Matter that was not caused by the actions or inactions of the Seller and that would have a negative impact on the value of the Property in excess of One Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($1,500,000.00).

(a) Without limiting the above, and except with respect to the representations and warranties of Seller contained in Section 3.1 and 6.1 hereof and the implied representations in the Deeds, and the covenants of Seller hereunder that survive Closing (including its indemnification obligaitons in Section 8.6 below), effective as of the Closing, Buyer, on behalf of itself and its successors and assigns, waives its right to recover from, and forever releases and discharges, Seller, Seller’s affiliates, Seller’s investment advisor, the partners, trustees, beneficiaries, shareholders, members, managers, directors, officers, employees, and its agents in this transaction and each of them, and their respective heirs, successors, personal representatives and assigns (collectively, the “Seller Related Parties”), from any and all demands, claims, legal or administrative proceedings, losses, liabilities, damages, penalties, fines, liens, judgments, costs or expenses whatsoever (including, without limitation, court costs and attorneys’ fees and disbursements), whether direct or indirect, known or unknown, foreseen or unforeseen, that may arise on account of or in any way be connected with or related to the Property, this Agreement and/or the transactions contemplated hereunder, including, without limitation (i) the physical condition of the Property including, without limitation, all structural and seismic elements, all mechanical, electrical, plumbing, sewage, heating, ventilating, air conditioning and other systems, the environmental condition of the Property and the presence of Hazardous Materials on, under or about the Property, (ii) any law or regulation applicable to the Property, including, without limitation, any Environmental Law and any other federal, state or local law, (iii) the Disclosure Items, (iv) any Exception Matter, (v) the Loan and the Loan Documents, or (vi) any other matter related to the Property.
(b) In connection with Section 3.7(a) above, Buyer expressly waives the benefits of Section 1542 of the California Civil Code, which provides as follows: “A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES
15
NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR.” BUYER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT IT HAS BEEN REPRESENTED BY LEGAL COUNSEL OF ITS CHOICE IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, AND THAT SUCH COUNSEL HAS EXPLAINED TO BUYER THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION 3.7. BY INITIALING BELOW, BUYER CONFIRMS IT HAS AGREED TO THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION 3.7.
In this connection, Buyer hereby agrees, represents and warrants that Buyer realizes and acknowledges that factual matters now unknown to it may have given or may hereafter give rise to causes of action, claims, demands, debts, controversies, damages, costs, losses and expenses and other claims and liabilities which are presently unknown, unanticipated and unsuspected, and Buyer further agrees, represents and warrants that the waivers and releases herein have been negotiated and agreed upon in light of that realization and that Buyer nevertheless hereby intends to release, discharge and acquit Seller and the Seller Related Parties from any such unknown causes of action, claims, demands, debts, controversies, damages, costs, losses and expenses and other claims and liabilities.
Seller has given Buyer material concessions regarding this transaction in exchange for Buyer agreeing to the provisions of this Section 3.7. Buyer has initialed this Section 3.7 to further indicate its awareness and acceptance of each and every provision hereof; provided, however that failure of Buyer to initial this Section 3.7 below shall not invalidate this Section 3.7 nor any other provision of this Agreement.

Section 3.8 | Survival. |
The provisions of this Article III shall survive the Closing subject to the limitations and qualifications contained in such provisions and in Sections 9.11 and 9.19 hereof.
ARTICLE IV
TITLE
Section 4.1 | Conditions of Title. |
(a) Buyer has previously ordered an updated preliminary title report or commitment (the “Title Report”) from the Title Company. Seller has furnished to Buyer, or shall furnish to Buyer within five (5) days of the Effective Date, any existing survey of the Property in Seller’s possession. Buyer shall immediately order any plat or survey of the Property or any update thereto from a duly licensed surveyor (the “Survey”) if desired by Buyer or if necessary to support the issuance of the Title Policy (as defined in Section 4.2 below). Buyer shall provide to Seller a copy of the Survey, which shall be certified to the Title Company, Buyer
16
and Seller. Buyer shall pay the entire cost of the Survey. If Closing does not occur, Buyer shall, if Seller so requests in writing, assign to Seller all contract rights Buyer has with the surveyor and in such event Seller shall reimburse Buyer for the cost of the Survey.
(b) Buyer’s failure to deliver a Termination Notice to Seller on or prior to the expiration of the Contingency Period shall be deemed to be Seller’s approval of all matters shown on the Title Report and the Survey, and such matters shall be considered to be Conditions of Title, as defined in Section 4.1(e) below. In the event the Title Company amends or updates the Title Report after December 13, 2011 for a reason other than a new exception arising out of the Survey or any update to the Survey (each, a “Title Report Update”), Buyer shall furnish Seller with a written statement of objections (“Objections”) to any matter first raised in a Title Report Update (a “Buyer’s Notice”) within three (3) business days after its receipt of such Title Report Update (each, a “Title Update Review Period”). Should Buyer fail to notify Seller in writing of any objections to any matter first disclosed in a Title Report Update prior to the expiration of the Title Update Review Period, as applicable, Buyer shall be deemed to have approved such matters and such matters shall be considered to be Conditions of Title.
(c) If Seller receives a timely objection in accordance with Section 4.1(b) (“Buyer’s Notice”), Seller shall have the right, but not the obligation, within five (5) business days after receipt of Buyer’s Notice (“Seller’s Response Period”), to elect to attempt to cure any such matter upon written notice to Buyer (“Seller’s Response”), and may extend the Closing Date for up to fifteen (15) business days to allow such cure. If Seller does not give any Seller’s Response, Seller shall be deemed to have elected not to attempt to cure any such matters. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall in any event be obligated to cure all matters or items (i) that are mortgage or deed of trust liens or security interests against the Property, in each case granted by Seller (and not tenants of the Property or other third parties)(other than the liens created by the Loan Documents), (ii) real estate tax liens, other than liens for taxes and assessments not yet delinquent and (iii) that have been voluntarily placed against the Property by Seller (and not tenants of the Property or other third parties) after the date of this Agreement and that are not otherwise permitted pursuant to the provisions hereof. Seller shall be entitled to apply the Purchase Price towards the payment or satisfaction of such liens, and may cure any Objection by causing the Title Company to insure against collection of the same out of the Property.
(d) If Seller elects (or is deemed to have elected) not to attempt to cure any Objections raised in any Buyer’s Notice timely delivered by Buyer to Seller pursuant to Section 4.1(b), or if Seller notifies Buyer that it elects to attempt to cure any such Objection but then does not for any reason effect such cure on or before the Closing Date as it may be extended hereunder, then Buyer, as its sole and exclusive remedy, shall have the option of terminating this Agreement by delivering written notice thereof to Seller within two (2) business day after (as applicable) (i) its receipt of Seller’s Response stating that Seller will not attempt to cure any such Objection or (ii) the expiration of Seller’s Response Period if Seller does not deliver a Seller’s Response or (iii) Seller’s failure to cure by the Closing Date (as it may be extended hereunder) any Objection which Seller has previously elected to attempt to cure pursuant to a Seller’s Response. In the event of such a termination, the Deposit shall be returned to Buyer, and neither party shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder except as provided in Sections 6.1, 9.3, 9.5 and 9.9 below. If no such termination notice is timely received by Seller hereunder,
17
Buyer shall be deemed to have waived all such Objections in which event those Objections shall become “Conditions of Title” under Section 4.1(e). If the Closing is not consummated for any reason other than Seller’s default hereunder, Buyer shall be responsible for any title or escrow cancellation charges.
(e) At the Closing, Seller shall convey good and marketable fee simple title to the Real Property to Buyer by three Grant Deeds, one for each county in which the Real Property is located, each in the form of Exhibit C attached hereto (the “Deeds”) subject to no exceptions other than:
(1) Interests of tenants in possession under the Leases;
(2) Matters created by or with the written consent of Buyer;
(3) Non-delinquent liens for real estate taxes and assessments;
(4) The Loan and the Loan Documents; and
(5) Any exceptions disclosed by the Title Report, Survey and any Title Report Update which is approved or deemed approved by Buyer in accordance with this Article IV above, and any other exceptions to title disclosed by the public records or which would be disclosed by an inspection and/or survey of the Property.
All of the foregoing exceptions shall be referred to collectively as the “Conditions of Title.” By acceptance of the Deeds and the Closing of the purchase and sale of the Property, (x) Buyer agrees it is assuming for the benefit of Seller all of the obligations of Seller with respect to the Conditions of Title from and after the Closing, and (y) Buyer agrees that Seller shall have conclusively satisfied its obligations under Section 4.1(e) with respect to title to the Property. The provisions of this Section shall survive the Closing.
Section 4.2 | Evidence of Title. |
Delivery of title in accordance with the foregoing shall be evidenced by the willingness of the Title Company to issue, at Closing, its Owner’s ALTA Policy of Title Insurance in the amount of the Purchase Price showing title to the Real Property vested in Buyer, subject to the Conditions of Title (the “Title Policy”). The Title Policy may contain such endorsements as reasonably required by Buyer provided that the issuance of such endorsements shall not be a condition to Buyer’s obligations hereunder. Buyer shall pay the costs for all such endorsements. Seller shall have no obligation to provide any indemnity or agreement to the Title Company or Buyer to support the issuance of the Title Policy or any such endorsements other than an Owner’s Declaration in the form attached hereto as Exhibit I.

ARTICLE V
RISK OF LOSS AND INSURANCE PROCEEDS; CONDEMNATION
Section 5.1 | Minor Loss. |
Buyer shall be bound to purchase the Property for the full Purchase Price as required by the terms hereof, without regard to the occurrence or effect of any damage to the Property or destruction of any improvements thereon or condemnation of any portion of the Property, provided that: (a) the cost to repair any such damage or destruction does not exceed an amount equal to three percent (3%) of the Purchase Price in the estimate of an architect or contractor selected by Seller and reasonably acceptable to Buyer or in the case of a condemnation, the diminution in the value of the remaining Property as a result of a partial condemnation is not material (as hereinafter defined) and (b) upon the Closing, there shall be a credit against the Purchase Price due hereunder equal to the amount of any insurance proceeds or condemnation awards collected by Seller as a result of any such damage or destruction or condemnation, plus the amount of any insurance deductible (but only to the extent incurred by Seller), less any sums expended by Seller toward the collection of such proceeds or awards and the restoration or repair of the Property (the nature of which restoration or repairs, but not the right of Seller to effect such restoration or repairs, shall be subject to the approval of Buyer, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). If the proceeds or awards have not been collected as of the Closing, then such proceeds or awards shall be assigned to Buyer, except to the extent needed to reimburse Seller for sums expended to collect such proceeds or awards or to repair or restore the Property, Seller shall retain the rights to such proceeds and awards to such extent, and Buyer shall receive a credit against the Purchase Price for the amount of any insurance deductible.
Section 5.2 | Major Loss. |
If the cost to repair the damage or destruction as specified above exceeds an amount equal to three percent (3%) of the Purchase Price in the estimate of an architect or contractor selected by Seller and reasonably acceptable to Buyer or the diminution in the value of the remaining Property as a result of a condemnation is material (as hereinafter defined), then Buyer may, at its option to be exercised within five (5) days of Seller’s notice of the occurrence of the damage or destruction or the commencement of condemnation proceedings, either terminate this Agreement or consummate the purchase for the full Purchase Price as required by the terms hereof. If Buyer elects to terminate this Agreement by delivering written notice thereof to Seller or fails to give Seller notice within such five (5) day period that Buyer will proceed with the purchase, then this Agreement shall terminate, the Deposit shall be returned to Buyer and neither party shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder except as provided in Sections 6.1, 9.3, 9.5 and 9.9 below. If Buyer elects to proceed with the purchase, then upon the Closing, there shall be a credit against the Purchase Price due hereunder equal to the amount of any insurance proceeds or condemnation awards collected by Seller as a result of any such damage or destruction or condemnation, plus the amount of any insurance deductible, less any sums expended by Seller toward the collection of such proceeds or awards or to restoration or repair of the Property (the nature of which restoration or repairs, but not the right of Seller to effect such restoration or repairs, shall be subject to the approval of Buyer, which approval shall not be
19
unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). If the proceeds or awards have not been collected as of the Closing, then such proceeds or awards shall be assigned to Buyer, except to the extent needed to reimburse Seller for sums expended to collect such proceeds or awards or to repair or restore the Property, and Seller shall retain the rights to such proceeds and awards to such extent. A condemnation shall be deemed material if any portion of any net rentable area of the Property or any parking is taken which would cause the Property to be in violation of any existing laws or regulations, including but not limited to, zoning regulations, or the existing access to the Property is materially and adversely affected, permanently.
ARTICLE VI
BROKERS AND EXPENSES
Section 6.1 | Brokers. |
The parties represent and warrant to each other that no broker or finder was instrumental in arranging or bringing about this transaction except for Eastdil Secured (“Seller’s Broker”). At Closing, Seller shall pay the commission due, if any, to Seller’s Broker, which shall be paid pursuant to a separate agreement between Seller and Seller’s Broker. If any other person brings a claim for a commission or finder’s fee based upon any contact, dealings or communication with Buyer or Seller, then the party through whom such person makes his claim shall defend the other party (the “Indemnified Party”) from such claim, and shall indemnify the Indemnified Party and hold the Indemnified Party harmless from any and all costs, damages, claims, liabilities or expenses (including without limitation, court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) incurred by the Indemnified Party in defending against the claim. The provisions of this Section 6.1 shall survive the Closing or, if the purchase and sale is not consummated, any termination of this Agreement.
Section 6.2 | Expenses. |
Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, each party hereto shall pay its own expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby.
ARTICLE VII
LEASES AND OTHER AGREEMENTS
Section 7.1 | Buyer’s Approval of New Leases and Agreements Affecting the Property. |
Between the Effective Date and the Closing, Seller shall continue to lease the Property in the same manner as before the making of this Agreement, the same as though Seller were retaining the Property; provided, however, Seller shall not enter into any new Lease or other agreement affecting the Property, or modify or terminate any existing Lease or other agreement affecting the Property, which will be binding on the Property after Closing, except as permitted or required under any Lease (a “Consent Lease Action”), without first obtaining Buyer’s approval of the proposed action, which approval shall not be unreasonably conditioned, withheld or delayed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer hereby consents to Seller entering into leases
20
or amendments to leases, on or prior to Closing, on materially the same terms as shown on Schedule 7.1 attached hereto and made a part hereof, and such leases and amendments shall not require Buyer’s consent thereto. Seller shall keep Buyer reasonably apprised of negotiations with tenants and potential tenants of the Property with respect to any Consent Lease Actions. In the case Buyer disapproves of any of the foregoing, Buyer shall specify in detail the reasons for its disapproval. If Buyer fails to give Seller notice of its approval or disapproval of any such proposed action requiring its approval under this Section 7.1 within three (3) business days after Seller notifies Buyer of Seller’s desire to take such action, then Buyer shall be deemed to have given its approval. Buyer agrees to cooperate with Seller in enabling Seller to complete any such proposed transaction requiring Buyer’s approval. Seller shall, prior to Closing, provide Buyer true and correct copies of any and all Leases entered into by Seller after the date hereof and affecting the Property following Closing. Seller shall pay on or prior to Closing all legal fees incurred by Seller in connection with any Lease executed by Seller on or prior to the Effective Date. Seller shall pay (or Buyer shall receive a credit at Closing for, in which case Buyer shall assume the obligation to pay) all legal fees incurred by Seller with respect to the negotiation and drafting of any lease with Clear Channel, Mar Cor, Signet Testing Laboratories or VITAS HMS Home Hospice Care for the premises at the Property referenced respectively next to each such potential tenant’s name in Schedule 7.2 (the “November 3 Schedule Leases”). At Closing, Buyer shall reimburse Seller for all legal fees paid by Seller with respect to the negotiation and drafting of any lease not executed by Seller as of the Effective Date but executed as of the Closing Date (other than the November 3 Schedule Leases). At Closing, Buyer shall pay all legal fees incurred but not paid by Seller with respect to the negotiation and drafting of any lease not executed as of the Effective Date but executed as of the Closing Date (other than the November 3 Schedule Leases).
Section 7.2 | Tenant Improvement Costs, Leasing Commissions and Concessions. |
Seller shall pay on or prior to Closing (or, at the election of Seller, Buyer shall receive a credit against the Purchase Price at Closing on account of, and Buyer shall assume) all tenant improvement work and allowances and leasing commissions shown on Schedule 7.2, and Buyer shall receive a credit at Closing on account of all free rent periods shown on Schedule 7.2; provided, Buyer shall not be entitled to receive a credit at Closing for that portion of any free rent period accruing prior to Closing. With respect to any new Lease or Lease modification entered into by Seller between November 3, 2011 and the Closing Date, and with respect to any renewal, extension or expansion of any Lease, whether through the exercise of an option or otherwise, occurring between such date and the Closing Date, Seller shall be required to pay or provide a credit at Closing for only those tenant improvement work and allowances, leasing commissions and free rent periods listed under the heading “Approved Leases” on Schedule 7.2. Except as set forth in Sections 7.1 and 7.2, Buyer shall pay all tenant improvement work and allowances, leasing commissions, legal fees or other expenses or grants of any free rent period or other concessions with respect to any Leases. Buyer shall reimburse Seller for all such costs, expenses, free rent period or other concessions incurred by Seller prior to Closing for which Buyer is responsible hereunder, and Buyer shall assume at Closing any then-outstanding obligations for which Buyer is responsible hereunder with respect to such tenant improvement work and allowances, leasing commissions, legal fees or other expenses or grants of any free rent period, or other concessions. The provisions of this Section shall survive the Closing.
21
Section 7.3 | Tenant Notices. |
At the Closing, Seller shall furnish Buyer with a signed notice to be given to each tenant of the Property. The notice shall disclose that the Property has been sold to Buyer, that, after the Closing, all rents should be paid to Buyer, and that Buyer shall be responsible for all of the tenant’s security deposit. The form of the notice shall be otherwise reasonably acceptable to the parties. Buyer covenants to deliver said notices to each tenant as soon as reasonably possible after Closing. This provision shall expressly survive Closing.
Section 7.4 | Maintenance of Improvements and Operation of Property; Removal of Tangible Personal Property. |
Seller agrees to keep its customary property insurance covering the Property in effect until the Closing (provided, however, that the terms of any such coverage maintained in blanket form may be modified as Seller deems necessary). Seller shall maintain all Improvements substantially in their present condition (ordinary wear and tear, casualty and condemnation excepted), and shall operate and manage the Property in a manner consistent with Seller’s practices in effect prior to the Effective Date, provided that Seller shall in no event be obligated to make any capital expenditures or repairs, except for repairs which are necessitated by events occurring after the Effective Date and which would ordinarily be performed by Seller in accordance with Seller’s customary procedures for maintenance of the Property, subject to the provisions of Article V above. Seller shall not remove any Tangible Personal Property, except as may be required for necessary repair or replacement, and replacement shall be of approximately equal quality and quantity as the removed item of Tangible Personal Property.

ARTICLE VIII
CLOSING AND ESCROW
Section 8.1 | Escrow Instructions. |
Upon execution of this Agreement, the parties hereto shall deposit an executed counterpart of this Agreement with the Title Company, and this instrument shall serve as the instructions to the Title Company as the escrow holder for consummation of the purchase and sale contemplated hereby. Seller and Buyer agree to execute such reasonable additional and supplementary escrow instructions as may be appropriate to enable the Title Company to comply with the terms of this Agreement; provided, however, that in the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and any supplementary escrow instructions, the terms of this Agreement shall control.
Section 8.2 | Closing. |
The Closing hereunder shall be held and delivery of all items to be made at the Closing under the terms of this Agreement shall be made at the offices of the Title Company or as otherwise mutually agreed on December 22, 2011, and before 1:00 p.m., Pacific Standard Time, or such other earlier date and time as Buyer and Seller may mutually agree upon in writing (as the same may be postponed in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the “Closing Date”). Except as expressly provided herein, such date and time may not be extended without the prior written approval of both Seller and Buyer.
Section 8.3 | Deposit of Documents. |

(1) the duly executed and acknowledged Deeds in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C conveying the Real Property to Buyer subject to the Conditions of Title;

(3) four (4) duly executed counterparts of an Assignment and Assumption of Leases, Warranties and Other Intangible Property in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E pursuant to the terms of which Buyer shall assume all of Seller’s obligations under the Leases, and other documents and agreements affecting the Property (the “Assignment of Leases”);
23
(4) an affidavit pursuant to Section 1445(b)(2) of the Code, and on which Buyer is entitled to rely, that Seller is not a “foreign person” within the meaning of Section 1445(f)(3) of the Code;
(5) Four (4) duly executed counterparts of the Assumption Documents; and
(6) California 593-C Certificate and Declaration of Documentary Transfer Tax.
(7) One (1) duly executed Guaranty (as defined in Section 9.19 below).
(8) Authorization documents, including resolutions and incumbency certificates from Seller, reasonably acceptable to Title Company.
(b) At or before Closing, Buyer shall deposit into escrow the following items:
(1) immediately available funds necessary to close this transaction, including, without limitation, the Purchase Price (less the Deposit and interest thereon net of investment fees, if any, and the Assumption Amount) and funds sufficient to pay Buyer’s closing costs and share of prorations hereunder;
(2) four (4) duly executed counterparts of the Xxxx of Sale;
(3) Four (4) duly executed counterparts of the Assumption Documents; and
(4) four (4) duly executed counterparts of the Assignment of Leases.
(c) Seller and Buyer shall each execute and deposit a closing statement, such transfer tax declarations and such other instruments as are reasonably required by the Title Company or otherwise required to close the escrow and consummate the acquisition of the Property in accordance with the terms hereof. Seller and Buyer hereby designate Title Company as the “Reporting Person” for the transaction pursuant to Section 6045(e) of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder and agree to execute such documentation as is reasonably necessary to effectuate such designation.
(d) As of the Closing Date, Seller shall deliver or make available at the Property to Buyer: originals of the Leases to the extent in Seller’s possession, or copies of any Leases not in Seller’s possession, copies of the tenant correspondence files (for the three (3) most recent years of Seller’s ownership of the Property only and the current year), and originals of any other items which Seller was required to furnish Buyer copies of or make available at the Property pursuant to Sections 2.1(b) or (e) above, to the extent in Seller’s possession or in the possession of Seller’s Property Managers, except for Seller’s general ledger and other internal
24
books or records, which shall be retained by Seller but which general ledger shall be made accessible to Buyer for a period of three (3) years subsequent to Closing. Seller shall deliver possession of the Property to Buyer as required hereunder and shall deliver to Buyer or make available at the Property a set of keys to the Property on the Closing Date.
Section 8.4 | Estoppel Certificates. |
(a) Seller and Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain estoppel certificates from each tenant of the Property substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit F (the “Estoppel Form”) or, if a tenant’s lease requires a different form, in the form required by the tenant’s lease, or as otherwise provided in this paragraph below. Buyer shall promptly draft such estoppel certificates, and Seller shall review, reasonably approve, and distribute to tenants such estoppel certificates as soon as reasonably practicable after receipt of such draft estoppel certificates from Buyer. It shall be a condition to Buyer’s obligation to close the sale and purchase of the Property that on or before the Closing, Buyer is able to obtain an estoppel certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit F (or in the form required by such tenant’s Lease) from (a) tenants occupying at least eighty-five percent (85%) of the area of the Property actually rented to tenants, and (b) at least fourteen of the sixteen tenants of the Property with Leases of 50,000 rentable square feet or more as of the date hereof (the “Major Tenants”)(collectively, the “Estoppel Threshold”). All estoppel certificates shall be dated no more than sixty (60) days prior to the Closing Date. An estoppel certificate, even though not substantially in the form required by the preceding sentence, will be deemed substantially in the form required by the preceding sentence if it is on the standard form of a tenant which customarily issues its own form, or, in the case of Major Tenants, if a “knowledge qualifier” has been inserted in Paragraph 4 of the Form Estoppel (or such similar provision relating to landlord’s default in another form of estoppel sufficient pursuant to this Section 8.4). If Seller is unable to satisfy the Estoppel Threshold, Seller may (but is not required to) deliver estoppel certificates in the form attached hereto as Exhibit G covering such leases as are sufficient, when aggregated with the tenant estoppel certificates previously delivered, to satisfy the Estoppel Threshold, provided that Buyer shall not be obligated to accept Seller estoppel certificates that collectively cover in excess of fifteen percent (15%) of the area of the Property actually rented to tenants and Buyer shall not be obligated to accept Seller estoppel certificates with respect to more than two (2) Major Tenants. Seller’s representations and warranties in any Seller estoppel certificates will survive the Closing, subject to the limitations contained in Sections 3.2, 3.3, 3.4, 9.11 and 9.19 hereof. In the event that Buyer receives an estoppel certificate from a tenant complying with the requirements of this Section 8.4 and for which Seller previously delivered a Seller’s estoppel certificate, Seller shall be automatically released from any liability or obligation under its estoppel certificate.
(b) If Seller is unable to obtain and deliver sufficient tenant estoppel certificates as required under Section 8.4(a), or if the certificates received or substituted Seller estoppel certificates contain a statement that Seller is in default under a Lease and Buyer objects thereto by written notice to Seller within three (3) business days after receipt by Buyer of the objectionable estoppel, but in any event on or before the Closing Date, then Seller will not be in default by reason thereof, and Seller may elect to extend the Closing Date by up to thirty (30) days in order to satisfy the requirement. If Seller still cannot satisfy the requirement at the end of such extended period, then Buyer may, by written notice given to Seller before the Closing Date,
25
as extended by this Section 8.4(b), elect to terminate this Agreement and receive a refund of the Deposit, or waive said condition. If Buyer so elects to terminate this Agreement, neither party shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder except as provided in Section 6.1 above and Sections 9.3, 9.5 and 9.9 below. If no such notice is delivered by Buyer, Buyer shall be deemed to have waived such condition.
(c) Seller shall cooperate with Buyer and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain an estoppel certificate from each property association, if any, governing or pertaining to any Property, substantially in the form provided by Buyer; provided, receipt of any such estoppels shall not be a condition to Buyer’s obligation to close its acquisition of the Property hereunder, and any such certificates which Buyer desires shall be drafted by Buyer’s counsel at Buyer’s sole cost and expense.
Section 8.5 | Prorations. |
(a) Rents, including, without limitation, percentage rents, if any, and any additional charges and expenses payable by tenants under Leases, all as and when actually collected; real property taxes and assessments; all other income from the Property; interest and other payments due under the Loan; water, sewer and utility charges; amounts payable under any other agreements or documents; annual permits and/or inspection fees (calculated on the basis of the period covered); and any other expenses of the operation and maintenance of the Property (including, without limitation, expenses prepaid by Seller and which apply solely to the period from and after the Closing and with respect to which Seller shall receive a credit at Closing in the amount of the prepaid expenses), shall all be prorated as of 11:59 p.m. on the day immediately prior to Closing (i.e., Buyer is entitled to the income and responsible for the expenses of the day of Closing and Seller is entitled to the income and responsible for the expenses for the period prior to the day of Closing), on the basis of a 365-day year. Tenant improvement costs, leasing commissions, legal fees and other expenses, and free rent and other concessions, shall be prorated as provided in Section 7.2.
All rents collected after the Closing shall be applied and paid as provided in this Section 8.5(a). If a tenant shall specifically designate a payment as being attributable to, or if it is readily ascertainable that a payment received from a tenant is attributable to a specific period of time or for a specific purpose, including, without limitation, for operating expenses or real estate tax payments which were not paid or were underpaid by such tenant or for reimbursement for work performed by Seller on the tenant’s premises, such payment shall be so applied. If there is no such designation or if not so readily ascertainable, any payment received from a tenant after Closing shall be deemed a payment of rent due after the Closing until the tenant is current on rents and sums due under the applicable Lease on or after the Closing, and then such payments shall be paid to Seller to the extent of any rent or other sums owing to Seller for periods prior to Closing. Buyer shall use reasonable efforts to collect such rents and other sums owing to Seller but shall not be required to pay any third-party costs in doing so. Seller retains the right to collect any such rents and other sums from tenants after Closing; provided, however, that Seller shall have no right to cause any such tenant to be evicted or to exercise any other landlord remedy against such tenant other than to xxx for collection.
26
Reconciliations of taxes, insurance charges and other expenses owed by tenants under Leases for the calendar year (or fiscal year if different from the calendar year) in which the Closing occurs shall be prepared by Buyer with the cooperation of Seller on or prior to June 30, 2012, in accordance with the requirements set forth in the Leases and as provided in this Section 8.5(a). If accurate allocations cannot be made at Closing because current bills are not obtainable, the parties shall allocate such expenses at Closing on the best and most current information available, subject to adjustment in cash after the Closing outside of escrow as set forth above. For those Leases in which tenants pay a proportionate share of taxes, insurance charges or other expenses over a base year amount or expense stop, the proration between the parties of the income received from tenants over such base year amount or expense stop shall be calculated based on the total amount of such expenses for the Property incurred by both Seller and Buyer for the entire calendar (or, if applicable, fiscal) year, rather than on the amount of such expenses actually incurred by each party for such year, in order to enable the parties to determine if the base year amount or expense stop for such year is exceeded. Such income as so calculated shall be prorated between the parties based on the number of days each party owned the Property during such year and otherwise in accordance with this Section 8.5(a). For Leases which do not have a base year amount or expense stop, the proration between the parties of income received from tenants from reconciliations of expenses under the Leases shall be calculated based on the expenses actually incurred by each party for such year and each party’s period of ownership of the Property, and otherwise in accordance with this Section 8.5(a).
The amount of any cash security deposits together with interest thereon (if required by applicable law or pursuant to the applicable Lease) held by Seller under Leases shall be credited against the Purchase Price (and Seller shall be entitled to retain such cash security deposits). Seller shall deliver to Buyer at Closing an original copy of all Letters of Credit obtained from tenants at the Property in lieu of a cash security deposit pursuant to such tenants Lease, together with an assignment of such Letter of Credit to Buyer executed by Seller. Buyer shall work with the lenders obligated under such Letters of Credit, and Seller shall cooperate in Buyer’s efforts (at no cost to Seller except as provided in this Section), to have the Letters of Credit assigned to Buyer promptly following closing, shall pay the amount of any fees associated with the transfer of such Letters of Credit, and shall receive a credit against the Purchase Price at Closing in the amount of one half ( 1/2) of such fees. Seller shall receive credits at Closing for the amount of any utility or other deposits with respect to the Property. Buyer shall cause all utilities to be transferred into Buyer’s name and account at the time of Closing.
Seller and Buyer hereby agree that if any of the aforesaid prorations and credits cannot be calculated accurately on the Closing Date or in the case of rents or other charges received from tenants, such amounts have not been collected, then the same shall be calculated as soon as reasonably practicable after the Closing Date or the date such amounts have been collected, and either party owing the other party a sum of money based on such subsequent proration(s) or credits shall pay said sum to the other party within thirty (30) days thereafter. Upon request of either party, the parties shall provide a detailed and accurate written statement signed by such party certifying as to the payments received by such party from tenants from and after Closing and to the manner in which such payments were applied, and shall make their books and records available for inspection by the other party during ordinary business hours upon reasonable advance notice.
27
Seller retains the right to pursue and control any tax appeals applicable to periods prior to the tax year of the Closing, and Buyer shall cooperate with Seller with respect to such appeals at no material cost or expense to Buyer. Any refund of real property taxes or special assessments relating to the period prior to Closing shall be for the account of Seller. To the extent Buyer receives any such refund, Buyer shall remit such refund to Seller within five (5) business days of receipt thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer and Seller shall reasonably and jointly pursue and control any tax appeals applicable to the current tax year, and the parties shall prorate all costs incurred and recovered in connection therewith based on the portion of the proceeds of any tax appeal recovery allocable to each party’s respective period of ownership of the Property.
(b) Seller shall pay all county transfer taxes, one-half ( 1/2) of any city transfer taxes and one-half ( 1/2) of any escrow fees. Buyer shall pay all title charges (including endorsements and reinsurance charges), survey costs, escrow or closing fees, sale taxes, recording fees or taxes, one-half ( 1/2) of city transfer taxes and one-half ( 1/2) of all escrow fees. The parties will execute and deliver any required transfer or other similar tax declarations to the appropriate governmental entity at Closing.
(c) The provisions of this Section 8.5 shall survive the Closing.
Section 8.6 | Seller’s Indemnity. |
Seller shall indemnify, defend and hold Buyer and the Buyer Related Parties and their respective successors, heirs, personal representatives and assigns harmless from and against all claims, damages, losses, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs), losses which arise out of tort claims of third parties for any personal injury, death or damage to personal property arising out of events which occurred on the Property before the Closing and during Seller’s period of ownership of the Property. This indemnity shall survive the Closing for a period of nine (9) months. Any claim which Buyer may have against Seller under the foregoing indemnity, whether such claim is known or unknown, which is not specifically asserted by written notice to Seller within such nine (9) month period shall not be valid or effective, and Seller shall have no liability with respect thereto. Seller may defend any claims against Buyer with counsel reasonably approved by Buyer or designated by Seller’s insurance company.

Section 9.2 | Entire Agreement. |
This Agreement, together with the Exhibits and schedules hereto, contains all representations, warranties and covenants made by Buyer and Seller and constitutes the entire understanding between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof. Any prior correspondence, memoranda or agreements are replaced in total by this Agreement together with the Exhibits and schedules hereto.
Section 9.3 | Entry and Indemnity. |
In connection with any entry by Buyer, or its agents, employees or contractors onto the Property, Buyer shall give Seller reasonable advance notice of such entry and shall conduct such entry and any inspections in connection therewith (a) during normal business hours, (b) so as to minimize, to the greatest extent possible, interference with Seller’s business and the business of Seller’s tenants, (c) in compliance with all applicable laws, and (d) otherwise in a manner reasonably acceptable to Seller. Without limiting the foregoing, prior to any entry to perform any invasive on-site testing, including but not limited to any air sampling, borings, drillings or other samplings, Buyer shall give Seller written notice thereof, including the identity of the company or persons who will perform such testing and the proposed scope and methodology of the testing. Seller shall approve or disapprove, in Seller’s sole discretion, the proposed testing within three (3) business days after receipt of such notice. If Seller fails to respond within such three (3) business day period, Seller shall be deemed to have disapproved the proposed testing.
30
If Buyer or its agents, employees or contractors take any sample from the Property in connection with any such approved testing, Buyer shall provide to Seller a portion of such sample being tested to allow Seller, if it so chooses, to perform its own testing. Buyer shall permit Seller or its representative to be present to observe any testing or other inspection or due diligence review performed on or at the Property. Upon the request of Seller, Buyer shall promptly deliver to Seller copies of any reports relating to any testing or other inspection of the Property performed by Buyer or its agents, representatives, employees, contractors or consultants. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Buyer shall not contact any governmental authority or any tenant without first obtaining the prior written consent of Seller thereto in Seller’s sole discretion, and Seller, at Seller’s election, shall be entitled to have a representative participate in any telephone or other contact made by Buyer to a governmental authority or tenant and present at any meeting by Buyer with a governmental authority or tenant. Buyer shall maintain, and shall assure that its contractors maintain, public liability and property damage insurance in amounts (but in no event less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) with respect to any liability insurance) and in form and substance adequate to insure against all liability of Buyer and its agents, employees or contractors, arising out of any entry or inspections of the Property pursuant to the provisions hereof, and Seller and Seller’s lender shall be named as additional insureds on such insurance. Buyer shall provide Seller with evidence of such insurance coverage prior to any entry on the Property. Buyer shall indemnify and hold Seller harmless from and against any costs, damages, liabilities, losses, expenses, liens or claims (including, without limitation, court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) arising out of or relating to any entry on the Property by Buyer, its agents, employees or contractors in the course of performing the inspections, testings or inquiries provided for in this Agreement, including, without limitation, any release of Hazardous Materials or any damage to the Property; provided that Buyer shall not be liable to Seller solely as a result of the discovery by Buyer of a pre-existing condition on the Property to the extent the activities of Buyer, its agents, representatives, employees, contractors or consultants do not exacerbate the condition. The provisions of this Section 9.3 shall be in addition to any access or indemnity agreement previously executed by Buyer in connection with the Property; provided that in the event of any inconsistency between this Section 9.3 and such other agreement, the provisions of this Section 9.3 shall govern. The foregoing indemnity shall survive beyond the Closing, or, if the sale is not consummated, beyond the termination of this Agreement. Buyer’s right of entry, as provided in this Section 9.3, shall continue up through the date of Closing.
Section 9.4 | Time. |
Time is of the essence in the performance of each of the parties’ respective obligations contained herein. If the time period by which any right, option or election provided under this Agreement must be exercised, or by which any act required hereunder must be performed, or by which the Closing must be held, expires on a Saturday, Sunday or legal or bank holiday, then such time period shall be automatically extended through the close of business on the next regularly scheduled business day.
Section 9.5 | Attorneys’ Fees. |
If either party hereto fails to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement or of any of the Other Documents or if any dispute arises between the parties hereto concerning the
31
meaning or interpretation of any provision of this Agreement or of any of the Other Documents, whether prior to or after Closing, or if any party defaults in payment of its post-Closing financial obligations under this Agreement or under any of the Other Documents, then the defaulting party or the party not prevailing in such dispute, as the case may be, shall pay any and all costs and expenses incurred by the other party on account of such default and/or in enforcing or establishing its rights hereunder, including, without limitation, court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements.
Section 9.6 | Assignment. |
Except to a single purpose, bankruptcy remote entity wholly owned, directly or indirectly, by Buyer, as required by the Loan Agreement, or a permitted assignee under Section 9.24, Buyer’s rights and obligations hereunder shall not be assignable without the prior written consent of Seller, which may be given or withheld in Seller’s sole discretion. Buyer shall in no event be released from any of its obligations or liabilities hereunder in connection with any assignment. Without limiting and notwithstanding the above, in no event shall Buyer have the right to assign its rights or obligations hereunder to any party which could not make the representation and warranty contained in subsections 3.5(e) and (g) above, and in connection with any assignment pursuant to the terms hereof, the assignee shall reconfirm in a written instrument acceptable to Seller and delivered to Seller prior to the effective date of the assignment said representation and warranty as applied to the assignee and that all other terms and conditions of this Agreement shall apply to such assignee and are being assumed by assignee. Subject to the provisions of this Section, this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.
Section 9.7 | Counterparts. |
This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

Section 9.9 | Confidentiality and Return of Documents. |

Except as may be required by law, Buyer will not divulge any such information to other persons or entities including, without limitation, appraisers, real estate brokers, or competitors of Seller. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer shall have the right to disclose information with respect to the Property to its officers, directors, employees, attorneys, accountants, environmental auditors, engineers, potential lenders, and permitted assignees under this Agreement and other consultants
32
to the extent necessary for Buyer to evaluate its acquisition of the Property provided that all such persons are told that such information is confidential and agree (in writing for any third party engineers, environmental auditors or other consultants) to keep such information confidential. If Buyer acquires the Property from Seller, Seller shall have the right to publicize the transaction (other than the parties to or the specific economics of the transaction) in whatever manner it deems appropriate; provided that any press release or other public disclosure regarding this Agreement or the transactions contemplated herein, and the wording of same, must be reasonably approved in advance by both parties and, in the case of Buyer, may only be made on or following the date twenty (20) days following Closing. The provisions of this paragraph shall survive the Closing or any termination of this Agreement. In the event the transaction contemplated by this Agreement does not close as provided herein, upon the request of Seller, Buyer shall promptly return to Seller all Due Diligence Materials and other documents and copies obtained by Buyer from Seller in connection with the purchase of the Property hereunder.
Section 9.10 | Interpretation of Agreement. |

Section 9.12 | Amendments. |
This Agreement may be amended or modified only by a written instrument signed by Buyer and Seller.
Section 9.13 | No Recording. |
Neither this Agreement or any memorandum or short form thereof may be recorded by Buyer.
Section 9.14 | Drafts Not an Offer to Enter Into a Legally Binding Contract. |
The parties hereto agree that the submission of a draft of this Agreement by one party to another is not intended by either party to be an offer to enter into a legally binding contract with respect to the purchase and sale of the Property. The parties shall be legally bound with respect to the purchase and sale of the Property pursuant to the terms of this Agreement only if and when
33
the parties have been able to negotiate all of the terms and provisions of this Agreement in a manner acceptable to each of the parties in their respective sole discretion, and both Seller and Buyer have fully executed and delivered to each other a counterpart of this Agreement (or a copy by facsimile transmission) (the “Effective Date”).
Section 9.15 | ERISA. |

Buyer represents and warrants and covenants to Seller that there will not be any change in any such information regarding Buyer or the Buyer Parties prior to or on the Closing. In the event any such information or change in Seller’s reasonable judgment makes this transaction a sale to a party-in-interest, Seller may terminate this Agreement without liability on the part of Seller or Buyer (provided such change did not occur as a result of a default by Buyer), other than Buyer’s indemnity contained in Section 9.3 hereof and the obligations contained in Sections 6.1, 9.5 and 9.9 hereof, and the Deposit will be returned to Buyer.
Section 9.16 | No Partnership. |
The relationship of the parties hereto is solely that of Seller and Buyer with respect to the Property and no joint venture or other partnership exists between the parties hereto. Neither party has any fiduciary relationship hereunder to the other.

If the investment committee does not approve this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby on or before such date, then this Agreement shall terminate, the Deposit shall be returned to Buyer and neither party shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder except as provided in Sections 6.1, 9.3, 9.5 and 9.9. Seller shall notify Buyer in writing as to whether the investment committee has approved or disapproved this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby.
Section 9.19 | Limitation on Liability. |
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, subject to the last sentence of this Section 9.19, after the Closing: (a) the maximum aggregate liability of Seller, and the

maximum aggregate amount which may be awarded to and collected by Buyer (including, without limitation, for any breach of any representation, warranty and/or covenant by Seller) in connection with the Property and/or the sale thereof to Buyer including, without limitation, under this Agreement or any documents executed pursuant hereto or in connection herewith, including, without limitation, the Deeds, the Xxxx of Sale and the Assignment of Leases but excluding any Seller estoppel certificates (collectively, the “Other Documents”), shall under no circumstances whatsoever exceed Six Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($6,500,000.00), less any amounts paid from time to time by Guarantor to Buyer pursuant to claims by Buyer under the Guaranty (the “Cap”); and (b) no claim by Buyer alleging a breach by Seller of any representation, warranty and/or covenant of Seller contained herein or in any of the Other Documents may be made, and Seller shall not be liable for any judgment in any action based upon any such claim, unless and until such claim, either alone or together with any other claims by Buyer alleging a breach by Seller of any such representation, warranty and/or covenant is for an aggregate amount in excess of Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars ($25,000) (the “Floor Amount”), in which event Seller’s liability respecting any judgment concerning such claim or claims shall be for the entire amount thereof, subject to the limitation set forth in clause (a) above; provided, however, that if any such judgment is for an amount that is less than or equal to the Floor Amount, then Seller shall have no liability with respect thereto. If (i) it is determined by a court, arbitration or other proceeding that Seller breached any of its representations or warranties in Section 3.1 or in Section 6.1, (ii) Buyer gave written notice to Seller of such breach during the Survival Period, and (iii) Seller fails to pay the amount of damages caused by such breach as determined by such court, arbitration or other proceeding within five (5) days of such determination, RREEF AMERICA REIT II, Inc., a Maryland corporation (“Guarantor”) shall pay to Buyer the amount of such damages pursuant to the terms of a Guaranty in the form attached hereto as Exhibit J (the “Guaranty”), which shall be delivered by Guarantor at Closing.

Section 9.23 | Severability |
If any one or more of the provisions hereof shall for any reason be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision hereof, and this Agreement shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein.
Section 9.24 | Like-Kind Exchange |
Each party hereby agrees to take any and all actions at Closing as are reasonably necessary to help the other to effectuate a like-kind exchange of that portion of the Property not encumbered by a lien created by any of the Loan Documents (the “Exchangeable Property”) pursuant to Section 1031 of the Code, including, but not limited to executing a notification statement acknowledging that the other party has elected to effectuate a like-kind exchange, provided that neither party shall be required to execute any documents except as provided above, and provided, however, that in no event shall the non-requesting party be required to take title to any other real property or to incur any additional expenses or liability in order to effectuate the like-kind exchange and the like-kind exchange shall not delay the Closing Date or be a condition of Closing, and (d) with respect to an Exchange at the request of Buyer, delivery of a deed to Buyer at the direction of the qualified intermediary, acknowledgment of a re-assignment of this Agreement from the qualified intermediary to the Buyer following the exchange, and modification of the settlement statement to show funds being delivered at Closing from the qualified intermediary instead of from the Buyer. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, at no time shall Seller be required to enter into a contract with the qualified intermediary (other than acceptance of the notification of assignment). The requesting party, whether Seller or Buyer, agrees to indemnify, defend and hold the other party harmless from and against any and all costs, expenses, claims, damages, losses and other liabilities including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and costs, of any kind arising with regard to the effectuation of a tax free exchange as described herein. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary provided herein, the non-requesting party makes no representations or warranties as to the tax treatment for the transaction contemplated hereby or the ability of the transaction contemplated to qualify for like-kind exchange treatment pursuant to Section 1031 of the Code. In the event both parties desire to effectuate a like-kind exchange as described herein, each party shall pay any and all costs associated with their respective transactions. The parties hereby acknowledge and agree that all references to a “like-kind exchange” in this Section 9.24 shall be deemed to include, but not be limited to, a reverse like-kind exchange of the Exchangeable Property pursuant to Section 1031 of the Code. Seller shall cooperate with Buyer in establishing a reasonable allocation of the Purchase Price among the properties that comprise the Exchangeable Property. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, effectuation of a like-kind exchange as described herein shall not release the requesting party from any of its obligations under this Agreement.
Section 9.25 | Market Withdrawal |
Seller hereby agrees that for a period beginning on the date hereof and ending on December 13, 2011 or any sooner termination of this Agreement (the “Standstill Period”), Seller will not and will not permit Seller’s officers, directors, employees, shareholders or agents to (i) take any action to solicit, accept or agree to an Acquisition Proposal (as hereinafter defined), or (ii) engage in any negotiations with any person or entity that may be considering
36
making, or has made, an Acquisition Proposal. The term “Acquisition Proposal” means any offer or proposal for the Property, or any offer or proposal involving a merger or other business combination related to the Property.
Section 9.26 | Survival of Article IX. |
The provisions of this Article IX shall survive the Closing.
