AGREEMENT FOR PURCHASE AND SALE

-----------------
conditions herein set forth, and in reliance upon the representations,
warranties, covenants and undertakings herein contained, Seller hereby agrees to
sell, transfer, assign, convey, set over and confirm unto Purchaser (or
Purchaser's permitted assignee), and the Purchaser hereby agrees to purchase
from Seller, the Project on the Closing Date, free and clear of all liens,
claims, charges or encumbrances of any kind or nature whatsoever other than the
Permitted Exceptions.
2.2 PURCHASE PRICE.
--------------
2.2.1 The Purchase Price for the Project shall be equal to the sum of
(i) Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000), plus (ii) Twenty Million Two
Hundred Fifty One Thousand One Hundred Fourteen and No/100 Dollars
($20,251,114.00); provided, however, that for each One Dollar ($1.00) that
the
7
Agreed Total Price (as such amount is defined in the Price Waterhouse
Lease) is reduced below the initially stated amount thereof in the Price
Waterhouse Lease of Twenty Million Four Hundred Twenty One Thousand Nine
Hundred Forty Dollars ($20,421,940), the amount payable under clause (ii)
above shall be reduced as follows: (A) by Sixty Seven and 8/10 Cents
($0.678) until the amount payable under clause (ii) above is reduced to
Nineteen Million Eight Hundred Ninety One Thousand Five Hundred and No/100
Dollars ($19,891,500.00), and (B) by One Dollar ($1.00) (i.e., on a Dollar
for Dollar basis) thereafter. The Purchase Price, less a credit for the
Deposit and subject to prorations and other adjustments as provided for in
this Agreement, shall be payable to Seller by Purchaser by wire transfer or
other immediately available federal funds through the Escrow at Closing. At
Closing, Purchaser shall receive a credit against the Purchase Price in the
amount equal to the aggregate amount of the Interest Differential.
2.2.2 Purchaser may, provided that Purchaser satisfies the Assumption
Conditions (as hereinafter defined), elect to take title to the Project
subject to the Existing Collateral Documents by giving written notice of
such election to Seller on or before the date ten (10) days prior to the
Closing Date. In such event, Purchaser shall assume and agree to pay, in
accordance with its terms, the outstanding balance of the indebtedness
payable under the Construction Loan on the Closing Date and assume and
agree to perform all duties and obligations of Seller and Xxxxxx arising
under the Existing Collateral Documents, in accordance with the terms
thereof, on or after the Closing Date. Purchaser's taking title to the
Project subject to the Existing Collateral Documents shall be deemed
payment of that portion of the Purchase Price equal to the outstanding
balance of the indebtedness secured by the Existing Collateral Documents on
the Closing Date. The remainder of the Purchase Price, subject to
prorations and other adjustments as provided for in this Agreement, shall
be payable to Seller by Purchaser by wire transfer or other immediately
available federal funds through the Escrow at Closing. As used in this
Section, the term "Assumption Conditions" shall mean (i) obtaining the
written consent of the Construction Lender to, and otherwise entering into
such documents as may be required by Construction Lender with respect to,
the foregoing assumption and agreement to pay and perform, and (ii) causing
Seller and Xxxxxx to be fully released, in writing, on the Closing Date
from any and all duties, obligations, liabilities and responsibilities
whatsoever under the Construction Loan and the Existing Collateral
Documents, which consent and other documents and release shall be in such
form as may be prescribed by Construction Lender and reasonably
satisfactory to Seller. In no event whatsoever shall the satisfaction of
the Assumption Conditions or Purchaser's ability to effect such assumption
be deemed to be a condition precedent to the obligations of Purchaser to
purchase the Project and to pay the Purchase Price, and if the Assumption
Conditions are not satisfied prior to the Closing Date or if Purchaser does
not effect such assumption, then Purchaser shall nonetheless purchase the
Project and pay the Purchase Price in accordance with SECTION 2.2.1, above.
8
2.2.3 Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the total Project
Costs (as defined in, and as such amount is determined for the purposes of,
the Price Waterhouse Lease) exceed the Purchase Price (as such amount is
determined in accordance with the first sentence of SECTION 2.2.1) by an
amount greater than $500,000.00 (which amount in excess of $500,000.00 is
herein referred to as the "Excess Project Costs"), Seller shall have the
right to terminate this Agreement by giving a written termination notice to
Purchaser on or before the date five (5) business days after the Lease
Commencement Date ("Seller's Termination Notice Date"), which notice shall
be accompanied by an amendment to this Agreement providing for an increase
in the Purchase Price by an amount equal to the Excess Project Costs;
provided, however, if Purchaser executes such amendment and delivers same
to Seller such that Seller actually receives such executed amendment on or
before the date ten (10) business days after Seller's Termination Notice
Date (the "Amendment Delivery Deadline"), or if Purchaser and Seller
execute and deliver such other amendment as is mutually acceptable to
Purchaser and Seller, then the Purchase Price shall be increased by the
Excess Project Costs or as otherwise agreed by Purchaser and Seller,
Seller's written termination notice shall be deemed null and void, and this
Agreement shall continue in full force and effect. In the event Seller
gives its written termination notice to Purchaser pursuant to the preceding
sentence, and Seller does not actually receive on or before the Amendment
Delivery Deadline the aforesaid amendment executed by Purchaser, then this
Agreement shall terminate as of the date of such written termination notice
and the Deposit shall be returned to Purchaser.
2.3 PUNCH LIST WORK. The parties acknowledge that certain portions of the
---------------
Building and the Building Equipment may not have been finally completed on the
Closing Date. Accordingly, the Architect shall determine the amount (the "Punch
List Amount") as may be necessary to (i) satisfactorily complete any items of
construction, or to provide any items of Building Equipment, required by the
Plans and Specifications which, while substantially complete, have not been
finally completed or provided on the Closing Date, other than the Seasonal Punch
List Work referred to below (the "Regular Punch List Work"); (ii) satisfactorily
complete any landscaping required by the Plans and Specifications which cannot
then be completed on account of weather or the season (the "Seasonal Punch List
Work"); and (iii) correct any material defects ("Defects") in the design or
construction of the Project or the materials incorporated therein (the Defects,
together with the Regular Punch List Work and the Seasonal Punch List Work being
collectively called the "Punch List Work"). If the Punch List Amount exceeds
One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000), the Closing may, at the option of
Purchaser, be deferred until such time as a sufficient amount of work shall have
been performed with respect to the Seasonal Punch List Work, the Defects or the
Regular Punch List Work so that the Punch List Amount shall be reduced to an
amount within the limit prescribed. As expeditiously and prudently as possible
after the Closing Date, Seller shall complete, or cause to be completed, all of
the Punch List Work. Seller's covenant to complete the
9
Punch List Work shall survive the Closing and any release of construction
holdbacks by Price Waterhouse under the Price Waterhouse Lease.
2.4 ASSIGNMENT OF MEMORANDUM FOR RECORD. Seller and Purchaser will
-----------------------------------
execute an assignment of that certain Memorandum of Agreement executed by and
between Seller and TriNet in connection with the Original Agreement, which
assignment shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit E and which may be
recorded by Purchaser in the Office of the County Clerk for Hillsborough County,
Florida for the purpose of placing third parties on notice of the interest of
Purchaser in the Project as evidenced by this Agreement.
2.5 DUE DILIGENCE PERIOD. There shall be no "due diligence period"
--------------------
hereunder. Purchaser shall be entitled to rely upon all of the representations
and warranties made by Seller hereunder notwithstanding any examinations,
investigations, inspections or tests made by the Purchaser. All costs and
expenses incurred by Purchaser shall be borne by Purchaser.
2.6 DEPOSIT. On or prior to the Effective Date, the sum of Five Million
-------
Dollars (US$5,000,000) (the "Deposit"), in immediately available federal funds,
evidencing Purchaser's good faith to perform Purchaser's obligations under this
Agreement, shall be deposited by Purchaser with the Atlanta, Georgia office of
the Title Company.
2.6.1 The Deposit shall be held and disbursed by the Title Company
pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. If this Agreement terminates
pursuant to any express right of Purchaser to terminate this Agreement, the
Deposit shall be refunded to Purchaser immediately upon request, and all
further rights and obligations of the parties under this Agreement shall
terminate. If the Closing under this Agreement occurs, the Title Company
shall pay the Deposit to Seller and the Deposit shall be applied against
the Purchase Price due Seller at Closing.
2.6.2 The Deposit shall be held in an account with Construction
Lender or another interest bearing account or security approved by both
Seller and Purchaser; all interest earned on the Deposit shall be deemed
part of, and administered and disbursed in the same manner as, the Deposit.
The Title Company shall not commingle the Deposit with any funds of the
Title Company or others.
2.6.3 Seller and Purchaser mutually agree that in the event of any
controversy regarding the Deposit, unless mutual written instructions are
received by the Title Company directing the Deposit's disposition, the
Title Company shall not take any action, but instead shall await the
disposition of any proceeding relating to the Deposit or, at the Title
Company's option, the Title Company may interplead all parties and deposit
the Deposit with a court of competent jurisdiction in which event the Title
Company may recover all of its court costs
10
and reasonable attorneys' fees. Whichever of Seller or Purchaser loses in
any such interpleader action shall be solely obligated to pay such costs
and fees of the Title Company, as well as the reasonable attorneys' fees of
the prevailing party in accordance with the other provisions of this
Agreement.
2.6.4 The parties acknowledge that the Title Company is acting solely
as a stakeholder at their request and for their convenience, that the Title
Company shall not be deemed to be the agent of either of the parties for
such purposes, and that the Title Company shall not be liable to either of
the parties for any action or omission on its part taken or made in good
faith, and not in disregard of this Agreement, but shall be liable for its
negligent acts and for any loss, cost or expense incurred by Seller or
Purchaser resulting from the Title Company's mistake of law respecting the
Title Company's scope or nature of its duties with respect to the Deposit.
Seller and Purchaser shall jointly and severally indemnify and hold the
Title Company harmless from and against all costs, claims and expenses,
including reasonable attorneys' fees, incurred in connection with the
performance of the Title Company's duties hereunder with respect to the
Deposit, except with respect to actions or omissions taken or made by the
Title Company in bad faith, in disregard of this Agreement or involving
negligence on the part of the Title Company.

CLOSING
3.1 TIME AND PLACE FOR CLOSING. The Closing shall take place on the
--------------------------
Closing Date. If the Closing shall not have occurred on or prior to the Final
Closing Date for any reason other than the default of Purchaser hereunder
(whether or not the failure to close shall be the fault of Seller or shall
result from causes or circumstances beyond Seller's control), Purchaser shall
have the right at any time thereafter to exercise its rights and remedies in
accordance with SECTION 7.2, and until termination of this Agreement by
Purchaser in accordance with SECTION 7.2 this Agreement shall continue in full
force and effect. The Closing shall take place through an escrow established
with the Title Company (the "Escrow") by means of a so-called New York style
closing, with the concurrent delivery of Seller's deed and other documents of

to a date not more than fifteen (15) days prior to the Closing Date. Each title
commitment delivered hereunder shall be conclusive evidence of Good and
Marketable Title as therein shown, subject only to those exceptions as therein
stated. If any later date title commitment discloses exceptions to title other

insure over such exceptions), Seller shall have until the Closing Date to have
those exceptions removed from the commitment or, in the case of exceptions which
may be removed with the payment of money, deliver the undertaking of the Title
Company to insure over such exceptions. If Seller fails to have any such
exceptions removed (or insured over as above provided) on or prior to the
Closing Date, then provided such unpermitted exceptions are not the result of a
breach or default of Seller under SECTION 6.1.5 or SECTION 6.1.9 of this
Agreement, Purchaser may elect (as its sole remedy for Seller's failure to have
such title exceptions removed or insured over), by delivery of notice to that
effect at any time within thirty (30) days after the Closing Date, either (i) to
take title as it then is, with the right to deduct from the Purchase Price liens
or encumbrances of a definite or ascertainable amount (in which case such
exceptions shall thereafter be deemed "Permitted Exceptions"), or (ii) to
terminate this Agreement, and all of the rights and remedies of the parties
hereto, whereupon the Deposit shall be returned to Purchaser. If such
unpermitted exceptions are the result of a breach or default of Seller under
SECTION 6.1.5 or SECTION 6.1.9 of this Agreement, Purchaser shall have the
rights and remedies provided for in SECTION 7.2 hereof in the event of a default
of Seller hereunder.
3.3 TITLE POLICY. At the Closing and as a condition precedent to the
------------
obligations of Purchaser hereunder, Seller shall deliver, or cause to be
delivered, to Purchaser a title insurance policy, or a marked final title
commitment, issued by the Title Company (or, if the Title Company does not issue
such policy or marked title commitment, such title insurance policy or marked
final title commitment issued by Chicago Title Insurance Company) in accordance
with its commitment therefor as above set forth in the amount of the Purchase
Price, subject only to the Permitted Exceptions, with affirmative coverage over
any inchoate mechanic's lien claims which may or could be asserted against the
Project by any contractor, subcontractor or materialman furnishing labor or
materials in connection with the Project, with full extended coverage over all
General Exceptions, and containing the following endorsements: 3.1 zoning with
parking; survey; and contiguity and access (the "Title Policy"). The costs of
issuance of the title insurance policy and each of the commitments required to
be delivered hereunder, and any reasonable charges made by the Title Company for
the New York style closing, shall be borne and paid for entirely by Seller
except to the extent that the costs thereof exceed those that would be charged
by the title company delivering the Title Commitment for identical items and
services.

and disclose the matters and information set forth in Exhibit F. The As-built
Survey shall disclose no encroachments or improvements from or upon adjoining
properties, shall show the availability of all utility services at the perimeter
of the Land, and shall otherwise be in form and content sufficient to enable the
Title Company to issue its standard form of survey modification endorsement
modifying the general exception for matters of survey. The costs of each survey
delivered by Seller pursuant hereto shall be borne entirely by Seller.
3.5 SELLER'S CLOSING DELIVERIES. At or prior to the Closing, and in

hereunder to be delivered by Seller, Seller shall deliver, or cause to be

hereby represents and warrants to Purchaser, and each of Purchaser's successors
and assigns, as follows:
4.1.1 Seller is a limited partnership duly organized, validly
existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Georgia and
has the full right, power and authority to enter into this Agreement, and
to perform all of the obligations and liabilities of Seller required to be
performed hereunder.
4.1.2 This Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered
by and on behalf of Seller and, assuming the due authorization, execution
and delivery thereof by and on behalf of Purchaser, constitutes a valid,
binding and enforceable obligation of Seller enforceable in accordance with
its terms. The aforesaid representation and warranty is qualified to the
extent the enforceability of this Agreement may be limited by applicable
bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, reorganization or other similar laws of
general application affecting the rights of creditors in general.
4.1.3 Neither the execution and delivery hereof by Seller, nor the
taking by Seller of any actions contemplated hereby, will conflict with or

contract, judgment, order, award, decree or other agreement or restriction
to which Seller is a party, or by which Seller, or any partner of Seller or
the Project, is a party or otherwise bound.
4.1.4 To Seller's knowledge, Seller has Good and Marketable Title to
the Project, subject only to the Permitted Exceptions, and the lien of
mortgages which, except as provided in SECTION 2.2.2 of this Agreement,
will be released at or prior to the Closing Date. Seller has no knowledge
of any fact or circumstance which, if known to the Title Company, would
lead the Title Company either to refuse to issue its title insurance policy
as contemplated by the provisions hereof, or to make additional exceptions
to its policy other than the Permitted Exceptions, or to limit its coverage
to less than the amount required hereunder, or to refuse to issue any
endorsements required to be issued under the provisions hereof.
4.1.5 To Seller's knowledge, the Land is properly zoned to permit
construction and operation of the Building thereon as presently planned and
contemplated without violating any applicable zoning or other similar land
use law, statute or ordinance. To Seller's knowledge, neither the zoning
nor any other
18
right to construct or use the Building or the Land is to any extent
dependent upon or related to any real estate other than the Land.
4.1.6 The Building, if built and constructed in accordance with the
Plans and Specifications: (i) will, to Seller's knowledge, conform to, and
be in compliance in all material respects with, all applicable federal,

attached thereto or incorporated in the design thereof, will be located
entirely within the lot lines of the Land. Seller has not granted to any
person, firm or corporation other than Price Waterhouse any possessory
rights or interests in and to the Land, or any part thereof, except for
rights or interests which comprise part of the Permitted Exceptions.
4.1.7 To Seller's knowledge, except as listed on Exhibit H, there are

goods or services), except possible inchoate mechanic lien claims to be
determined, and which will, at the Closing, be removed or insured over.

contract, lease, or other instrument or document to which Seller is a
party, or by which it or any of its properties is bound, which do or could

encumbrance thereon.
4.1.9 Seller is in compliance in all material respects with all
permits currently in effect with respect to the Project, has obtained all
permits required to be obtained by it to the date hereof, and has no
knowledge or reason to believe that any permits hereafter required in

laws, ordinances, orders or requirements of any governmental authority,
agency or officer having jurisdiction against or affecting the Project, or
with respect to the operation thereof, which have not been previously

circumstance which, if known to the appropriate authorities, would result
in the issuance of any such notice of violation.
4.1.11 Exhibit D hereto contains a complete list (to date) of all
Plans and Specifications relating to the Project, including all change

breach or default by the landlord or by Price Waterhouse under the Price
Waterhouse Lease, and to Seller's knowledge Price Waterhouse has no
defenses, claims or demands against the landlord, under the Lease or
otherwise, which can be offset against rents or other charges to become due
under the Price Waterhouse Lease. Seller has
20
received no written notice from Price Waterhouse under the Price Waterhouse
Lease claiming any breach or default by Seller under the Price Waterhouse
Lease. Except as expressly provided in the Price Waterhouse Lease, no money

or credit of any kind is presently owed, or will or could become due and
payable, to Price Waterhouse under the Price Waterhouse Lease. Except as

any right or option contained in the Price Waterhouse Lease. Seller has not
assigned, transferred, pledged or encumbered in any manner the Price
Waterhouse Lease or any rents or other amount payable by Price Waterhouse
thereunder except to secure the Construction Loan. To the extent that any
matter set forth in this SECTION 4.1.14 is expressly confirmed by the
tenant estoppel certificate to be executed by Price Waterhouse and
delivered to Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement, such estoppel
certificate shall be deemed to be conclusive evidence of the truth of the
representation and warranty set forth herein with respect to such matters.
4.1.15 Seller has no knowledge that the existing survey previously
delivered or the Survey to be delivered hereunder is inaccurate or
incomplete in any material respect, or fails to disclose any easements,

except as otherwise noted on said Exhibit. To Seller's knowledge, neither
party to any such contract is in default thereunder and no event has

5.1.2 Except for (i) facts or circumstances, the occurrence of which
have been consented to or approved in writing by Purchaser, (ii) acts done
or suffered to be done by Seller pursuant to and in accordance with the

adversely affect the rights or benefits to be acquired by Purchaser as part
of the transaction contemplated hereby, the occurrence or avoidance of

(ii) reduces the number of parking spaces available to the Project to an
amount less than four (4) parking spaces for every one thousand (1,000)

completed for occupancy by Price Waterhouse) if such agency or department
issues the same at the stage of building completion of the Building as of
the Closing Date.
5.1.7 There shall be no proceeding pending before any court, quasi-
judicial body or administrative or governmental agency, relating to the
validity of the proposed or actual use of the Project on the Closing Date.
5.1.8 On the Closing Date the Project, and the operation thereof,

-------------------------------------------------
full of each of the following shall be a condition precedent to the obligations
of Seller hereunder:

other covenants and obligations hereunder.
5.2.2 All of the representations and warranties of Purchaser
hereunder shall be true and correct on and as of the Closing Date as though
remade and republished as of said date.

be obligated, to waive or defer compliance by the other party with any of the
above conditions precedent to the respective obligations of said party,
provided, however, no waiver shall be effective unless set forth in a written
instrument, executed by the waiving party and delivered to the other party. No
act or circumstance, other than the delivery of a written waiver as contemplated
by the preceding sentence, shall be deemed to constitute a waiver.

hereby agrees to use its best efforts to cause each of the conditions precedent
to the obligations of Purchaser to be fully satisfied, performed and discharged,
on and as of the Closing Date, and Purchaser hereby agrees to use its best
efforts to cause all of the conditions precedent to the obligations of Seller
hereunder to be fully satisfied, performed and discharged on or prior to the

discharge any of the aforesaid conditions precedent, and if the performance,
satisfaction and discharge thereof is within the ability of said party to
control and such failure remains uncured for a period of fifteen days after the
Closing Date, the failure thereof shall constitute a default hereunder entitling
the other party to have and exercise all of the rights, powers and remedies

ARTICLE 6
SELLER'S COVENANTS PENDING CLOSING DATE
6.1 SELLER'S COVENANTS. In addition to each of the covenants,
------------------
undertakings and obligations of Seller herein contained, Seller hereby covenants
and agrees that, from and after the date hereof it will fully perform and comply
with the following:
6.1.1 Seller agrees that it shall, with diligence and continuity,
cause the Project to be completed in accordance with the Price Waterhouse
Lease.
6.1.2 Attached hereto as Exhibit D is an identification of a complete
set of Plans and Specifications for the Project. The Plans and
Specifications shall not be modified or changed in any manner requiring the
approval of any applicable governmental authorities having jurisdiction
over the Project without such approval having been first obtained.
6.1.3 Seller shall cause all amendments to the Plans and
Specifications to be prepared in compliance in all material respects with
(x) the requirements and standards set forth in the Price Waterhouse Lease,
(y) all applicable governmental requirements, and (z) all private
covenants, conditions and restrictions of record that encumber all or any
part of the Land. Seller shall not amend the Plans and Specifications
without the prior written consent of Purchaser, except as otherwise
expressly permitted herein. Purchaser's approval of the Plans and
Specifications shall not constitute, and shall not be deemed to constitute,
an acknowledgment by Purchaser that the Plans and Specifications comply
with the requirements of the immediately preceding sentence, nor shall
Purchaser's approval of the Plans and Specifications in any way constitute
a waiver of (or diminish Seller's obligation to satisfy fully) the
requirements of the immediately preceding sentence.
6.1.4 Seller shall not make or permit to be made any material changes
in the Plans and Specifications (whether such material change is to be made
by means of change orders, architectural bulletins, shop drawings and other
forms of alterations or revisions to the Plans and Specifications), or any
material changes or alterations in the Project, which are not in conformity
with the Plans and Specifications, without in each case the prior written
consent of Purchaser, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed. If Seller or Price Waterhouse proposes any material changes in the
Plans and Specifications, or in the Building, by change order or otherwise,
Seller shall notify Purchaser in writing with respect thereto describing
the nature of the change order, the purpose thereof, and the effect of such
change order on the Project Budget. For purposes hereof a "material change"
in the Plans and Specifications shall mean any change which materially
affects the number of Rentable Square Feet in the Building, materially
affects the quality of materials or construction used in the Building or
the general design of the Building, has or could have the effect of
materially
28
increasing the operating costs for the Project or delaying the completion
of the Project by more than thirty (30) days, or requires the consent of
Price Waterhouse under the Price Waterhouse Lease.
6.1.5 Seller shall not in any manner sell, convey, assign, transfer
or encumber the Project or the Price Waterhouse Lease or any part thereof
or interest therein (except to secure, refinance or extend the Construction
Loan and except for Permitted Exceptions), or otherwise dispose of the
Project or the Price Waterhouse Lease, or any part thereof or interest
therein, or alter or amend the zoning classification of the Project, or
otherwise perform or permit any act or deed which shall materially
diminish, encumber or affect Seller's rights in and to the Project or
prevent it from performing fully its obligations hereunder, nor enter into
any agreement to do so.
6.1.6 Seller will cause to be maintained in full force and effect the
insurance coverage described in Exhibit M, each of which liability
insurance policies shall name Purchaser as an additional insured thereunder
as its interest may appear. Seller will deliver to Purchaser photocopies
of the original policies of insurance, and original certificates therefor.
6.1.7 Seller shall maintain, or cause to be maintained, complete
books and records with respect to the Project. At all reasonable times,
and upon prior notice, Purchaser shall have the right, from time to time
upon request therefor, to inspect and make copies of all books and records
of Seller relating to the Project, and Seller agrees to cause the same to
be made available to Purchaser for such purpose during regular business
hours at the principal offices of Seller located in Atlanta, Georgia or, at
Seller's option after notice to Purchaser, at or in the vicinity of the
Project.
6.1.8 Except as otherwise herein expressly provided, Seller shall not
enter into any service, management or maintenance contract, or amend,
cancel or otherwise revise any such contract or agreement currently in
effect, without the prior written consent of Purchaser, except that Seller
shall have the right, without the consent of Purchaser, to enter into any
such contracts which are either terminable by Seller (or, after the Closing
Date, by Purchaser) upon not more than thirty (30) days notice, or which,
by their terms, have been fully performed, complied with or terminated (and
are of no further force or effect) on or as of the Closing Date.
6.1.9 Except for the liens and encumbrances evidencing or securing
the Construction Loan, Seller shall not create any liens or encumbrances of
any kind or nature with respect to the Project other than the Permitted
Exceptions, and, in the event any lien or encumbrance (other than a lien or
encumbrance created by Purchaser or by any person, firm or corporation
claiming, by, through or under Purchaser) shall at any time hereafter be
filed or recorded against the Project, or
29
any part thereof, Seller shall (or, in the case of encumbrances, shall use
its best efforts to) promptly cause the same to be released or bonded over
or insured over by the Title Company.
6.1.10 At all reasonable times after Seller's acquisition of the
Land, and upon the request by Purchaser, Seller shall grant to Purchaser
and its engineers, architects and other agents or representatives of
Purchaser, access to the Project for the purpose of making a physical
inspection thereof, and each of its component parts; provided, however, all
such persons shall comply with reasonable safety requirements of Seller,
and Seller shall have no liability or obligation to any of such persons for
any injury or loss suffered while said persons are upon the Project.
Purchaser shall restore the Land to its condition existing immediately
before Purchaser's entry upon the Land, and Purchaser shall indemnify and
defend Seller against and hold Seller harmless from all claims, demands,
liabilities, losses, damages, costs and expenses, including reasonable
attorneys' fees and disbursements (collectively, "Claims"), in any manner
------
arising from or caused by Purchaser in connection with entry on the Land by
Purchaser pursuant to this SECTION 6.1.10; provided, however, Purchaser's
foregoing obligations shall not include any obligation or duty with respect
to Claims (including Claims that the Land has declined in value) arising
out of, resulting from or incurred in connection with (i) the discovery or
presence of any Hazardous Substances on the Land not brought on the Land by
Purchaser or the Release (other than by Purchaser) of any Hazardous
Substances on the Land, or (ii) the results, findings, tests or analyses of
Purchaser's environmental investigation of the Land.
6.1.11 Seller shall report to Purchaser in writing, from time to
time, but not less frequently than monthly, as to (i) the progress of
construction of the Project (such reports to include, without limitation,
an updated construction schedule, photographs of construction progress to
date, a detailed description of issues adversely affecting the construction
schedule or costs, and a monthly progress report of the General
Contractor); and (ii) such other information with respect to the Project
and its operation as Purchaser may reasonably request from time to time.
Seller shall report to Purchaser in writing any construction defects or
material deviations from the Plans and Specifications promptly upon Seller
becoming aware of same, which notice shall describe the nature of such
defect or deviation in reasonable detail. Seller's failure to fulfill any
of the covenants set forth in this SECTION 6.1.11 shall not be deemed to be
a default by Seller under this Agreement unless such failure materially
prejudices Purchaser's rights or interests under this Agreement.
6.1.12 Seller shall deliver or cause to be delivered to Purchaser,
promptly upon receipt thereof by Seller, copies of any written notices of
default, or the occurrence of any event which could result in a default,
under the Construction Loan or under any mortgage, lease, contract or
agreement now or at any time
30
hereafter in effect with respect to the Project, and shall report to
Purchaser, from time to time, the status of any alleged default thereunder.
Seller's failure to fulfill any of the covenants set forth in this SECTION
6.1.12 shall not be deemed to be a default by Seller under this Agreement
unless such failure materially prejudices Purchaser's rights or interests
under this Agreement.
6.1.13 Seller shall advise Purchaser in writing, promptly upon
obtaining actual knowledge of the occurrence of any event or circumstance
which constitutes a breach of any of the representations or warranties or
covenants of Seller herein contained, which notice shall describe the
nature of such event or circumstance in reasonable detail. Seller agrees
that it will use its best efforts at all times to correct any such event or
circumstance within Seller's reasonable control and, to the extent the same
is within the reasonable control of Seller, to cause all representations
and warranties of Seller herein contained to be true and correct on and as
of the Closing Date, and to cause Seller to be in compliance with its
covenants and obligations hereunder. Seller's failure to fulfill any of
the covenants set forth in this SECTION 6.1.13 shall not be deemed to be a
default by Seller under this Agreement unless such failure materially
prejudices Purchaser's rights or interests under this Agreement.
6.1.14 Seller shall pay, or cause to be paid, all installments of
general real estate taxes, special taxes or assessments, service charges,
water and sewer charges, private maintenance charges, and other prior lien
charges by whatever name called, which are due and payable on or prior to
the Closing Date.
6.1.15 Seller shall advise Purchaser promptly in writing of the
receipt, by Seller or any of its affiliates, of notice of: (i) the
institution or threatened institution of any judicial, quasi-judicial or
administrative inquiry or proceeding with respect to the Project; (ii) any
notice of violation issued by any governmental or quasi-governmental
authority with respect to the Project, (iii) any proposed special
assessments, or (iv) any defects or inadequacies in the Project or any part
thereof issued by any insurance company or fire rating bureau. Seller's
failure to fulfill any of the covenants set forth in this SECTION 6.1.15
shall not be deemed to be a default by Seller under this Agreement unless
such failure materially prejudices Purchaser's rights or interests under
this Agreement.
6.1.16 With respect to any warranties or guaranties relating to the
Project which are assigned, or required to be assigned, to Purchaser
pursuant to SECTION 3.5.4 and which, by their terms or otherwise expire,
terminate or lapse at any time prior to the date two (2) years following
the Substantial Completion Date (as defined in the Price Waterhouse Lease)
(the "Warranty Date"), Seller hereby assumes and agrees to pay, perform and
discharge all of the liabilities and obligations of the various
contractors, suppliers and others providing warranties or guarantees as
above provided for the period from the date of expiration thereof to and
including the Warranty Date, it being the intention of the parties hereto
that
31
such guarantees or warranties which have expired, terminated or lapsed
prior to the Warranty Date shall be extended by the provisions of this
SUBSECTION 6.1.16 and shall be the liability and obligation of Seller
during such extended period. The warranties and guarantees covered by the
provisions of this SUBSECTION 6.1.16 shall include, but shall not be
limited to, those referred to on Exhibit N hereof.
6.1.17 Between the date of this Agreement and the Closing Date,
Seller shall: (i) not use, produce, process, manufacture, generate, treat,
handle, store or dispose of any Hazardous Substances in, on or under the
Project, or use the Project for any such purposes, in violation of any
Environmental Laws, or (except in the ordinary course of the development
and construction of the Project, but in no event in violation of any
Environmental Law) Release any Hazardous Substances into any air, soil,
surface water or groundwater comprising the Project, or knowingly permit
any person using or occupying the Project or any part thereof to do any of
the foregoing; (ii) give notice to Purchaser promptly after Seller obtains
any information indicating that any Hazardous Substances may be present or
any Release or threatened Release of Hazardous Substances may have occurred
in, on or under the Project (or any nearby real property which could
migrate to the Project) or that any violation of any Environmental Laws may
have occurred at the Project, together with a reasonably detailed
description of the event, occurrence or condition in question; and (iii)
promptly furnish to Purchaser copies of all written communications received
by Seller from any person (including notices, complaints, claims or
citations that any Release or threatened Release of any Hazardous
Substances or any violation of any Environmental Laws has actually or
allegedly occurred) or given by Seller to any person concerning any past or
present Release or threatened Release of any Hazardous Substances in, on or
under the Project (or any nearby real property which could migrate to the
Project) or any past or present violation of any Environmental Laws at the
Project. Seller's failure to fulfill any of the covenants set forth in
clauses (ii) or (iii) of this SECTION 6.1.17 shall not be deemed to be a
default by Seller under this Agreement unless such failure materially
prejudices Purchaser's rights or interests under this Agreement.
6.2 DEFERRAL OF CLOSING DATE BY PURCHASER. Anything herein contained to
-------------------------------------
the contrary notwithstanding, Purchaser, at its option, shall have the right to
defer the Closing Date in any of the following circumstances:
6.2.1 Seller shall have failed to obtain any license or permit
required to be obtained on or prior to the Closing Date as a result of
which the Building may not be lawfully used or occupied for its intended
purpose;
6.2.2 There shall have been instituted any material litigation or
other judicial or quasi-judicial proceedings relating to the validity of
the proposed or actual use of the Project, the Land or any part thereof;
32
6.2.3 The Title Company shall fail to issue the later date
endorsement referred to in SECTION 3.2;
6.2.4 Seller has intentionally failed or refused to satisfy, perform
or discharge any of its covenants, obligations or undertakings hereunder,
it being presumed that Seller shall have acted intentionally if it shall
have failed to so satisfy, discharge or perform any covenant or obligation
the satisfaction or performance of which was within its reasonable control.
If Purchaser elects to defer the Closing Date, it shall so notify Seller in
writing thereof, and the Closing Date shall be deferred until such time as the
event or events giving rise to the deferral shall have been satisfactorily
resolved in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, or shall have been
waived by Purchaser in writing.
6.3 DEFERRAL OF CLOSING DATE BY SELLER. Anything herein contained to the
----------------------------------
contrary notwithstanding, Seller, at its option, shall have the right to defer
the Closing Date in any of the following circumstances:
6.3.1 Without limiting Seller's obligation to use best efforts to
satisfy any conditions precedent on or prior to the Closing Date, the
failure to satisfy, perform or discharge any of the conditions precedent to
Purchaser's obligations under this Agreement which are within the
reasonable control of Seller;
6.3.2 Purchaser has intentionally failed or refused to satisfy,
perform or discharge any of its covenants, obligations or undertakings
hereunder, it being presumed that Purchaser shall have acted intentionally
if it shall have failed to so satisfy, discharge or perform any covenant or
obligation the satisfaction or performance of which was within its
reasonable control.
If Seller elects to defer the Closing Date, it shall so notify Purchaser in
writing thereof, and the Closing Date shall be deferred until such time as the
event or events giving rise to the deferral shall have been satisfactorily
resolved in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, or shall have been
waived by Seller or Purchaser (as applicable) in writing, but in no event beyond
the Final Closing Date.
6.4 PURCHASER'S OPTION TO COMPLETE CONSTRUCTION AND PAY OBLIGATIONS. If
---------------------------------------------------------------
Seller fails to perform any of its covenants or obligations required to be
performed by Seller on or prior to the Closing Date with respect to construction
of the Project or shall otherwise fail to perform any of its other covenants or
obligations hereunder, and such failure shall continue for a period of thirty
(30) business days after written demand from Purchaser to Seller, and if such
failure continues for an additional ten (10) business days after written demand
from Purchaser to Seller setting forth Seller's failure in reasonable detail,
then provided such failure is susceptible of cure, Purchaser, at its option, at
any time thereafter, shall have the right to complete such construction, or pay
or otherwise
33
satisfy any of the other obligations of Seller hereunder, either before, during
or after the commencement of any other proceedings for the enforcement of the
provisions of this Agreement, and may expend such sums as Purchaser in its
reasonable discretion deems proper in order to complete such work or perform
such obligation; provided, however, Purchaser shall have no right to complete
said construction or perform said obligations if, within the aforesaid period of
thirty (30) business days or within the ten (10) business days following
delivery of Purchaser's second notice, Seller has fully performed or completed
the same, or, with respect to any matters which, by their nature cannot be fully
completed within the aforesaid period, Seller shall have, within said period,
commenced to perform or complete the same and shall thereafter, with due
diligence, proceed with the full performance and completion thereof. If
Purchaser completes such work or performs such obligations, any amounts expended
by Purchaser in connection therewith shall, in addition to any other right or
remedy which Purchaser may have hereunder or at law or in equity, be set-off
against any amounts which may at any time thereafter be due or owing by
Purchaser to Seller, or which Purchaser is otherwise required to pay hereunder.
6.5 CASUALTY DAMAGE. If, before the Closing Date, the improvements
---------------
comprising a part of the Project are damaged by any casualty and as a result of
such damage Price Waterhouse terminates the Price Waterhouse Lease, Purchaser
shall have the right, by giving notice to Seller within thirty (30) days after
Seller gives notice of the occurrence of such casualty to Purchaser, to
terminate this Agreement, in which event this Agreement shall terminate and the
Deposit shall be returned to Purchaser. If, before the Closing Date, the
improvements comprising a part of the Project are damaged by any casualty and
Purchaser does not have the right to terminate this Agreement as provided in
this SECTION 6.5, or if Purchaser has the right to terminate this Agreement
pursuant to this SECTION 6.5 but Purchaser does not exercise such right, then
this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and Seller shall use its
reasonable good faith efforts to complete the repair or replacement of such
improvements prior to the Final Closing Date and the Closing shall be postponed
until such repair or replacement is completed; provided, that Purchaser may
terminate this Agreement as of the Final Closing Date (whereupon the Deposit
will be returned to Purchaser) if Seller has not completed the repair or
replacement work on or prior to the Final Closing Date. Seller shall give
notice to Purchaser immediately after the occurrence of any damage to the
improvements on the Project by any casualty.
6.6 EMINENT DOMAIN. If, before the Closing Date, proceedings are
--------------
commenced for the taking by exercise of the power of eminent domain of all or
any material portion of the Project, Purchaser shall have the right, by giving
notice to Seller within thirty (30) days after Seller gives notice of the
commencement of such proceedings to Purchaser, to terminate this Agreement, in
which event this Agreement shall terminate. If Purchaser has the right to
terminate this Agreement as provided in this SECTION 6.6 but Purchaser does not
exercise such right, or if Purchaser does not have the right to terminate this
Agreement pursuant to this SECTION 6.6, then this Agreement shall remain in full
force and effect and, if the purchase and sale of the Project contemplated by
this Agreement is thereafter actually consummated, on the Closing Date, the
34
condemnation award (or, if not theretofore received, the right to receive such
award) payable on account of the taking shall be transferred to Purchaser.
Seller shall give notice to Purchaser immediately after Seller's receiving
notice of the commencement of any proceedings for the taking by exercise of the
power of eminent domain of all or any part of the Project. Purchaser shall have
a period of thirty (30) days (or such shorter period as Purchaser may elect by
giving notice to Seller) after Seller has given the notice to Purchaser required
by this SECTION 6.6 to evaluate the extent of the taking and make the
determination as to whether to terminate this Agreement. If necessary, the
Closing Date shall be postponed until Seller has given the notice to Purchaser
required by this SECTION 6.6 and the period of thirty (30) days described in
this SECTION 6.6 has expired. For purposes of this SECTION 6.6, a 'material'
portion of the Project shall be deemed to be any portion which: (i) equals five
percent (5%) or more of the total land area of the Project; (ii) reduces the
number of parking spaces available to the Project to an amount less than four
(4) parking spaces for every one thousand (1,000) Rentable Square Feet in the
Building; (iii) results in the termination of the Price Waterhouse Lease (and
the Closing shall be delayed until Price Waterhouse's right to terminate the
Price Waterhouse Lease on account of any such condemnation or eminent domain
proceeding has been irrevocably waived); (iv) reduces the rentals payable under
the Price Waterhouse Lease; (v) reduces the number of Rentable Square Feet of
the Building; or (vi) materially restricts access to the Project.
ARTICLE 7
DEFAULT
7.1 PURCHASER'S DEFAULT. If (a) Purchaser defaults hereunder, (b) Seller
-------------------
is not then in default hereunder, and (c) such default remains uncured five (5)
business days after written notice from Seller if such default is susceptible of
cure (or, if such default is susceptible of cure but cannot reasonably be cured
within such five [5] business day period and Purchaser commences to cure such
default within said five [5] business day period and diligently pursues the same
to completion, such default remains uncured twenty [20] business days after
written notice from Seller, but in no event beyond the Final Closing Date), then
Seller may, at its sole election and as its sole and exclusive remedies,
terminate this Agreement, whereupon the Deposit shall be paid to Seller as
liquidated damages to recompense Seller for time spent, labor and services
performed, and the loss of its bargain. Purchaser and Seller agree that it
would be impracticable or extremely difficult to affix damages if Purchaser so
defaults and that the Deposit (including the interest thereon) represents a
reasonable estimate of Seller's damages. Seller agrees to accept the Deposit as
Seller's sole remedy at law if Purchaser defaults in its obligation to close
hereunder.
7.2 SELLER'S DEFAULT. If (a) Seller defaults hereunder, (b) Purchaser is
----------------
not then in default hereunder, and (c) such default remains uncured five (5)
business days after written notice from Purchaser if such default is susceptible
of cure (or, if such default is
35
susceptible of cure but cannot reasonably be cured within such five [5] business
day period and Seller commences to cure such default within said five [5]
business day period and diligently pursues the same to completion, such default
remains uncured twenty [20] business days after written notice from Purchaser,
but in no event beyond the Final Closing Date), then Purchaser may, at its sole
election and as its sole and exclusive remedies:
7.2.1 Terminate this Agreement; or
7.2.2 Assert and seek judgment for specific performance; provided,
that in connection with such specific performance remedy:
(A) Purchaser shall be entitled to recover from Seller the
monetary damages incident to the remedy of specific performance under
law or equity and in any event specifically including the monetary
damages reasonably sustained by Purchaser due to its inability to use
the Project and collect sums due under the Price Waterhouse Lease from
the date that the Closing would have occurred but for Seller's default
until the date on which final judgment is entered against Seller in
such suit, which shall include lost interest on such sums had they
been received and invested in United States Treasury obligations or
similar secure, short-term money market investments, but specifically
excluding consequential, exemplary or punitive damages;
(B) Seller shall not be entitled to assert any equitable
defenses to such specific performance action which are not related to
Seller's ability to obtain the practical realization of the rights and
benefits to be obtained by Seller pursuant to the transaction
contemplated by this Agreement; and
(C) If an act or omission of Seller makes the remedy of
specific performance unavailable or impracticable, Purchaser shall
have such other remedies as are available to it at law or in equity on
account of Seller's default.
Purchaser's exercise of its remedies pursuant to the foregoing SUBSECTION 7.2.2
shall not preclude it from subsequently abandoning its pursuit of specific
performance and exercising the remedy described in the foregoing SUBSECTION
7.2.1.

contractors, and (iv) Seller's directors, officers, affiliates, employees,

Seller shall use its best efforts to ensure that the foregoing third parties do
not make, any public announcement of this Agreement or the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement without the prior written consent of Purchaser,
which consent may be withheld by Purchaser in its sole and absolute discretion,
unless such public announcement is necessary to comply with applicable law.

Florida Statutes, the sum of $10.00 has been paid as specific consideration
therefor to the indemnifying party and such party hereby acknowledges the
adequacy and sufficiency of such consideration and the receipt thereof.
11.20 NON-DISCLOSURE. No information or contents of any Studies or
--------------
environmental reports, nor the results of any investigation of the Project,

therewith, shall be disclosed by Purchaser or its agents, consultants or
employees to any third party without Seller's prior written approval (which
approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), unless and
until Purchaser is legally compelled to make such disclosure under applicable
laws or until Purchaser consummates its purchase of the Project pursuant to this
Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser may disclose such matters
to Purchaser's consultants and Purchaser's directors, officers, employees, legal
counsel and lenders or prospective lenders (hereinafter collectively called the
"Related Parties") who, in Purchaser's reasonable opinion, must know such
information for the purpose of evaluating the same for Purchaser as a potential
purchaser of the Project. Purchaser shall take commercially reasonable actions
to ensure that any Related Parties to whom such documents, items or information
are furnished not make the same available or disclose the contents thereof to
any person. If this Agreement is terminated for any reason other than the
default of Seller, Purchaser shall promptly return to Seller any and all
