agree in writing. If the Closing does not occur on or before the Closing
Date, then Buyer or Seller, if not in default under this Agreement, may at
any time thereafter give written notice to Escrow Holder to cancel the
Escrow whereupon the Escrow and the subject transaction shall become
terminated and Escrow Holder shall distribute all monies and documents in
Escrow Holder's possession in accordance with this Agreement and all
additional mutual instructions as the parties may provide. Such
cancellation of the Escrow shall not prejudice

subject to satisfaction or Buyer's written waiver of the following conditions
precedent (collectively, "Buyer's Conditions") on or before the expiration of
the applicable contingency period provided for below (collectively, the
"Contingency Periods"). If the respective Buyer's Condition has not been
satisfied or waived in writing, then at Buyer's option, this Agreement and the
Escrow shall be deemed terminated and neither Buyer nor Seller shall have any
further obligation to the other party under this Agreement (except to the extent
of any indemnities under this Agreement with respect to events occurring before
such termination, which indemnities shall survive any such termination). If

5.1. DUE DILIGENCE DELIVERIES BY SELLER. Buyer acknowledges that
Seller prior to the date of this Agreement has provided to Buyer copies of,

environmental surveys with respect to the Property. In order to facilitate
Buyer's investigation and analysis, Seller
-3-
has granted and will continue to grant to Buyer the right to enter the
Property at any time during normal business hours upon forty-eight (48)
hours' prior written notice to Seller, to conduct such inspections,
reviews, examinations and tests on the Property as Buyer has deemed
necessary or desirable to investigate the physical condition of the
Property, as well as access to relevant information relating to the
Property within Seller's possession or under Seller's control (but Seller
has made and now makes no representation or warranty regarding the accuracy
or completeness of such information). Buyer further acknowledges that it
is acquiring the Property in its "as-is" condition in accordance with
Section 19 below.
5.3. SELLER'S CONSENT. Seller shall have obtained Seller's
Consent in accordance with Article 22 below.
5.4. STATUS OF TITLE AND SURVEY. If Buyer intends to obtain
extended coverage title insurance in connection with this Agreement, then
Buyer shall obtain at its sole cost and expense an as-built survey of the
Property complying with 1992 ALTA/ACSM minimum standards (the "Survey").
Buyer acknowledges that Buyer has approved the exceptions to title shown in
that certain preliminary title report or owner's title commitment for the
Property issued by the Title Company (the "Title Report") and matters shown
on the Survey (if any) other than those exceptions or matters identified on
EXHIBIT D attached hereto ("Disapproved Title Exceptions"), which
Disapproved Title Exceptions Seller shall remove (or cause to be removed)
as exceptions to title prior to the Closing. Buyer shall have the
continuing right to update the Title Report and the Survey from time to
time and to give Seller notice of any additional Disapproved Title
Exceptions first arising after the date of the Title Report or the Survey,
as the case may be. Within ten (10) business days following receipt of any
written notice of such additional Disapproved Title Exceptions from Buyer,
Seller shall notify Buyer in writing of which of such additional
Disapproved Title Exceptions Seller will agree to cure on or before the
Closing Date; provided, however, that Seller shall satisfy and correct, at
or before the Closing, any Disapproved Title Exceptions constituting a
mortgage, deed of trust or other lien encumbering all or any portion of the
Property (other than liens created by Buyer's acts or omissions) or
otherwise created by Seller's acts or omissions on or after the date of
this Agreement ("Mandatory Cure Items"). In the event Seller elects not to
satisfy or cure any such additional Disapproved Title Exceptions of which
it is so notified, then, within ten (10) business days following receipt of
Seller's election, Buyer shall by written notice to Seller elect one of the
following:
5.4.1. To waive such additional Disapproved Title Exceptions and
to close the transaction contemplated hereby in accordance with the
terms of this Agreement; provided, however, that with respect to any
Disapproved Title Exception which is a Mandatory Cure Item, Buyer
shall be entitled to satisfy or remove any such Disapproved Title
Exception(s) at the Closing and to credit against the Purchase Price
the amount required to satisfy or remove such Mandatory Cure Item(s);
or
-4-
5.4.2. To terminate this Agreement, in which event Buyer shall
be entitled to the immediate return of the Deposit and the parties
hereto shall have no further rights, duties or obligations under this
Agreement, except those rights, duties and obligations that, by the
express terms hereof, survive termination of this Agreement.
5.5. OWNER'S POLICY. On or before the Closing, the Title Company
must be prepared to issue to Buyer an Owner's Policy of Title Insurance for
the Property (the "Title Policy") effective as of the Closing, insuring
Buyer in the amount of the Purchase Price that title to the Property is
vested in Buyer at the Closing, subject only to (a) standard pre-printed
exceptions (other than those preprinted exceptions that can be removed with
a customary seller's affidavit), (b) liens for taxes and assessments not
yet delinquent, (c) those exceptions to title described in the
corresponding Title Report other than the Disapproved Title Exceptions and
(d) exceptions created or suffered by Buyer. Buyer may require a policy
without a generic survey exception only if Buyer can timely provide Title
Company with all information necessary in order for the policy to be issued
on or before the Closing Date. Seller shall not suffer any liability in
connection with its failure to remove any title exception; Buyer's sole
remedy for Seller's failure to cause the elimination of a Disapproved Title
Exception shall be termination of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Seller shall cause the removal of any Mandatory Cure Item at or
before the Closing.

CLAUSES (A) THROUGH (C). NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, IN THE EVENT BUYER
OBJECTS TO, FAILS TO COOPERATE WITH OR OTHERWISE OPPOSES SELLER'S WITHDRAWAL OF
THE DEPOSIT OUT OF THE ESCROW, SELLER SHALL HAVE ALL OF THE REMEDIES OTHERWISE
AVAILABLE TO SELLER AT LAW OR IN EQUITY.

14.15. AGREEMENTS AFFECTING THE PROPERTY. Subject to the
provisions in Section 14.11 hereof, Seller hereby covenants and agrees with
Buyer that, so long as this Agreement remains in full force and effect,
Seller will not sell, assign, convey (absolutely or as security), grant a
security interest in, or otherwise encumber or dispose of, the Property (or
any interest or estate therein) without the prior written consent of the
Buyer. Seller has not executed and will execute no exclusive or other
brokerage agreements which will survive the Closing Date. Seller shall
not enter into Service Contracts from and after the date of this Agreement
without the prior written consent of Buyer, which consent may be granted or
withheld in Buyer's sole and absolute discretion; provided, however, that
Seller hereby covenants and agrees with Buyer that, so long as this
Agreement remains in full force and effect, Seller will continue to operate
and manage the Property in substantially the same manner as it has been
operated and managed in the past.
14.16. MAINTENANCE OF INSURANCE. Seller shall maintain in
full force and effect all existing policies of insurance relating to the
Property through and including the Closing Date, shall pay all premiums
with respect to such insurance on or before the due date therefor and shall
not knowingly take any action which would cause such insurance not to
remain in full force and effect or fail knowingly to take any action
required to maintain such insurance in full force and effect.
14.17. FIXTURES. All fixtures and articles of Personal
Property included in and which are part of the sale are now, and at the
Closing will be, owned by Seller free and clear of any conditional bills of
sale, chattel mortgages, security agreements or financing statements, or
other liens of security interest created by Seller, and shall be
transferred to Buyer as a part of the transaction.
14.18. SECURITY DEPOSITS. Security deposits shown in the
certified rent roll are a full, true and complete list of all of the
security deposits for the Property and are now held by Seller and Seller's
property manager under the terms of the Leases, and none have been
forfeited by any existing tenant.
14.19. NON-FOREIGN STATUS. Seller is not a "foreign person"
as that term is defined in the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended,
and the regulations promulgated pursuant thereto, and Buyer has no
obligation under the Internal Revenue Code Section 1445 to withhold and pay
over to the Internal Revenue Service any part of the "amount realized" by
Seller in the transaction contemplated hereby (as such term is defined in
the regulations issued under Internal Revenue Code Section 1445).
14.20. REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS RE-MADE AT
CLOSING. The foregoing warranties and representations are true, and the
foregoing covenants are in full
-13-
force and effect and binding on Seller as of the date hereof and shall be
in full force and effect and deemed to have been automatically reaffirmed
and restated by Seller as of the Closing Date.
For purposes of this Section 14, "Seller's actual knowledge" shall mean the
knowledge of (i) J. Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxxxx, (ii) Xxxxx Xxxxxx and (iii) Xxxxxxx
Xxxxxxx without any duty of investigation or inquiry and "notice" shall mean
written notice. The representations and warranties of Seller shall survive the
Closing for six (6) months, and any claim made by Buyer against Seller with
respect thereto must be asserted within such six-month period.
15. BUYER'S REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. The accuracy and completeness
of the following constitute a condition to the Closing, and Buyer represents and
warrants to Seller that the following is complete and accurate as of the date of
this Agreement and shall be complete and accurate as of the Closing, and shall
survive the Closing: Buyer is duly organized and validly existing and is (or
will at the Closing be) qualified to conduct its business and has the legal
power, right and authority to enter into this Agreement and to consummate the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement. All requisite action (corporate,
partnership, trust or otherwise) has been taken by Buyer in connection with
entering into this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement. The individual executing this Agreement on
behalf of Buyer has the legal power, right and actual authority to bind Buyer to
the terms and conditions of this Agreement. This Agreement and all documents
required by this Agreement to be executed by Buyer are and are valid, legally
binding obligations of and enforceable against Buyer in accordance with their
terms. The foregoing warranties and representations are true, and the foregoing
covenants are in full force and effect and binding on Buyer as of the date
hereof and shall be in full force and effect and deemed to have been
automatically reaffirmed and restated by Buyer as of the Closing Date.
16. CONDEMNATION. If all or any material portion of the Property is taken
by eminent domain (or is the subject of a pending or contemplated taking which
has not been consummated) before the Closing, then (a) Seller, if Seller has
actual knowledge thereof, shall notify Buyer of such fact and (b) Buyer shall
have the option to terminate this Agreement upon written notice to Escrow Holder
and Seller given no later than thirty (30) business days after Seller has given
such notice. For purposes of the foregoing sentence, a portion of the Property
shall not be deemed material unless the taking thereof diminishes the rentable
area of the building or the recreation facilities or restricts access to the
Property. If this Agreement is so terminated, then (i) Buyer shall pay all
costs associated with the cancellation of the Escrow pursuant to this Section,
(ii) neither Buyer nor Seller shall have any further rights or obligations under
this Agreement (except to the extent of any indemnities under this Agreement
with respect to events occurring before such termination, which indemnities
shall survive any such termination), and (iii) Escrow Holder shall, without
requiring any further instruction from Seller, immediately return to Buyer the
Deposit and all interest accrued thereon. If Buyer does not terminate this
Agreement within such thirty-day period, then (A) Buyer shall not thereafter
have the right to terminate this Agreement by reason of such taking and
(B) Buyer and Seller shall proceed to the Closing in accordance with this
Agreement, without modification of the terms of this Agreement, except that
(1) the Property will not include the property so taken, (2) the Purchase Price
will be reduced
-14-
by the amount of any awards for such taking awarded to Seller as of the Closing
Date, and (3) Seller shall assign and turn over to Buyer, and Buyer shall be
entitled to receive and retain, all awards for such taking not yet awarded as of
the Closing.
17. DESTRUCTION. If the Property or any portion thereof is damaged by
fire or other casualty on or before the Closing Date, Seller immediately shall
notify Buyer of such damage. If the estimated cost to repair the damage is less
than the greater of (i) $400,000 and (ii) five percent (5%) of the Purchase
Price and does not eliminate or materially impair access to the Property, Buyer
and Seller shall proceed to the Closing in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement, without modification of the terms of this Agreement, in which event
Buyer shall be entitled to an assignment of the proceeds of all insurance
relating to such fire or other casualty. If the estimated cost to repair the
damage equals or exceeds the greater of (i) $400,000 and (ii) five percent (5%)
of the Purchase Price, Buyer may elect either (a) to terminate this Agreement
and receive the return of the Deposit (minus any escrow or title cancellation
fees), in which case neither party shall have any additional rights or
obligations under this Agreement, or (b) to proceed to the Closing in accordance
with this Agreement, without modification of the terms of this Agreement, in
which event Buyer shall be entitled to an assignment of the proceeds of all
insurance relating to such fire or other casualty, if any. Such election shall
be made by Buyer within thirty (30) business days following Seller's
notification to Buyer. Buyer's failure to elect to terminate this Agreement
within such thirty-day period shall conclusively be deemed an election to
proceed to the Closing.
18. BROKERS. Each party to this Agreement represents and warrants to the
other that no real estate or business broker, agent, finder, or other person is
responsible for bringing about or negotiating this Agreement and that such party
has not dealt with any real estate broker, agent, finder or person relative to
this Agreement in any manner. Each party to this Agreement shall defend,
indemnify, and hold harmless the other party to this Agreement against all
liabilities, damages, losses, costs, expenses, attorneys' fees and claims
arising from (a) any breach of such representation by such indemnifying party
set forth in the preceding sentence, and (b) any claims that may be made against
such indemnified party by any real estate broker, agent, finder or other person
alleging to have acted on behalf of or to have dealt with such indemnifying
party.
19. NO RELIANCE - AS-IS. EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS
AGREEMENT OR IN ANY OF THE DOCUMENTS TO BE DELIVERED PURSUANT HERETO, BUYER
ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT IS PURCHASING THE PROPERTY IN RELIANCE SOLELY ON:
(I) BUYER'S INSPECTION OF THE REAL PROPERTY, THE PERSONAL PROPERTY AND THE
IMPROVEMENTS; (II) BUYER'S INDEPENDENT VERIFICATION OF THE TRUTH OF ANY
STATEMENTS CONTAINED IN THE DOCUMENTS MADE AVAILABLE TO BUYER; AND (III) THE
OPINIONS AND ADVICE OF CONSULTANTS AND ATTORNEYS ENGAGED BY BUYER CONCERNING THE
PROPERTY. BUYER FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT BEFORE ITS EXECUTION OF THIS
AGREEMENT BUYER SHALL HAVE PERFORMED OR WILL HAVE HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO PERFORM
ALL OF ITS DUE DILIGENCE INVESTIGATIONS OF AND WITH RESPECT TO THE PROPERTY AS
BUYER DEEMS APPROPRIATE, INCLUDING ENGINEERING STUDIES, SOILS TESTS,
ENVIRONMENTAL SURVEYS AND TESTING, PHYSICAL INSPECTIONS, ALTA OR OTHER SURVEYS
AND MARKET ANALYSES AS WELL AS BUYER'S EVALUATION OF THE CONDITION AND STATUS OF
-15-
THE PERSONAL PROPERTY AND IMPROVEMENTS AND THE OPERATION AND FUTURE PROSPECTS OF
THE PROPERTY. EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT OR IN
ANY OF THE DOCUMENTS TO BE DELIVERED PURSUANT HERETO, AT THE CLOSING, BUYER
ACCEPTS THE PROPERTY AND ALL MATTERS RELATING TO THE PROPERTY IN THEIR "AS IS,"
"WHERE-IS" AND "WITH ALL FAULTS" CONDITION OR STATUS AS OF THE CLOSING DATE,
INCLUDING SUCH MATTERS AS: SOILS AND GEOLOGICAL CONDITION, TOPOGRAPHY, AREA AND
CONFIGURATION OF THE REAL PROPERTY; THE AGE AND CONDITION OF THE IMPROVEMENTS
AND PERSONAL PROPERTY; THE EXISTENCE OF ANY HAZARDOUS OR TOXIC SUBSTANCES OR
MATERIALS, CONSTRUCTION DEFECTS OR OTHER MATTERS WHICH WOULD OR COULD
NECESSITATE ABATEMENT OR REMEDIATION ACTION BY THE PROPERTY'S OWNER; ANY
PHYSICAL OR MECHANICAL DEFECTS IN THE IMPROVEMENTS OR PERSONAL PROPERTY; ANY
EASEMENT, LICENSE OR ENCROACHMENT WHICH IS NOT A MATTER OF PUBLIC RECORD,
WHETHER OR NOT VISIBLE UPON INSPECTION OF THE PROPERTY; THE ZONING AND OTHER
LAND USE REGULATIONS APPLICABLE TO THE PROPERTY; AND ANY OTHER MATTER RELATING
TO THE PROPERTY INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, VALUE, TITLE, INCOME,
FEASIBILITY, COST, MARKETING AND INVESTMENT RETURN. BUYER ACKNOWLEDGES AND
AGREES THAT SELLER IS NOT MAKING ANY EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR
REPRESENTATIONS OF ANY KIND OR CHARACTER WITH RESPECT TO THE PROPERTY. IN
PARTICULAR BUT NOT BY WAY OF LIMITATION OF THE FOREGOING, EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY
SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT OR IN ANY OF THE DOCUMENTS TO BE DELIVERED PURSUANT
HERETO, SELLER MAKES NO WARRANTY OR REPRESENTATION, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, RELATING
TO COMPLIANCE OF THE IMPROVEMENTS WITH CURRENT BUILDING CODES, INCLUDING WITHOUT
LIMITATION THOSE RELATING TO UPDATED OR REVISED STANDARDS FOR PLUMBING,
ELECTRICAL, STRUCTURAL OR SEISMIC MATTERS. BUYER WARRANTS AND REPRESENTS TO
SELLER THAT BUYER HAS NOT RELIED ON AND WILL NOT RELY ON, EITHER DIRECTLY OR
INDIRECTLY, ANY WARRANTY OR REPRESENTATION OF SELLER NOT EXPLICITLY SET FORTH IN
THIS AGREEMENT.
20. INDEMNITY REGARDING INSPECTION. In consideration of Seller's
permission to Buyer and its agents to perform investigations and testing on and
about the Property prior to the Closing, Buyer shall defend, indemnify and hold
harmless Seller and Seller's partners, and their respective officers, employees,
agents, contractors, successors, assigns, and affiliates (collectively, the
"Indemnitees"), and the Property from all claims, costs, liens, actions and
judgments (including attorneys' fees and other defense costs actually incurred
by Seller) resulting from Buyer's investigation of the Property or its attempts
to obtain any regulatory approvals in connection with the Property, or otherwise
caused by Buyer or any of its employees, agents or independent contractors,
except for the non-negligent release of Hazardous Materials already on the
Property occasioned thereby. Unless and until the Closing occurs, Buyer shall
maintain all the information which it obtains in connection with the Property in
strict confidence and shall not reveal any of such information to any party
other than those parties to which it may otherwise be required to disclose in
accordance with applicable law. Buyer shall, at Buyer's sole cost, promptly
repair any damage resulting from its activities on the Property and restore the
Property to substantially the same condition as before Buyer or any of its
agents first entered the Property. If the Closing does not occur on or before
the Closing Date for any reason other than a breach of this Agreement by Seller,
Buyer shall provide Seller, at Seller's cost, copies of all third-party
engineering and environmental reports and materials derived from Buyer's
investigation of the
-16-
Property, concurrently with reimbursement by Seller of Buyer's out-of-pocket
costs in procuring such reports and materials.
21. BUYER'S REMEDIES. In the event the transaction contemplated hereby is
not consummated as a result of Seller's default hereunder, Buyer's sole and
exclusive remedies shall be either (i) to seek from Escrow Holder the return of
the Deposit and any other documents and funds then held by Escrow Holder and
Seller shall reimburse Buyer for Buyer's reasonable and documented out-of-pocket
expenses incurred in connection with the purchase transaction contemplated under
this Agreement (but in no event to exceed one-fourth percent (1/4%) of Purchase
Price)or (ii) to seek specific performance of Seller's obligations hereunder by
delivering the Purchase Price into the Escrow; provided, however, that as
conditions precedent to such action for specific performance, [A] no uncured
default in the performance of Buyer's obligations under this Agreement shall
exist and no event shall have occurred which with the passage of time or with
notice, or both, could become such an event of default, and [B] Buyer shall not
seek to amend the Purchase Price in such action.
22. SELLER'S PARTNERS' APPROVAL. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in this Agreement, the Closing shall not occur unless and until Seller
shall have obtained written approval ("Seller's Consent") from those partners of
Seller (or those partners of the partners of Seller, as the case may be) whose
approval is legally required before Seller may sell the Property to Buyer
hereunder. Seller shall seek such approval immediately after the Escrow Opening
Date. If Seller's Consent is not obtained within twenty-one (21) days after the
Escrow Opening Date (as such period may be extended by Seller at Seller's sole
option for up to an additional forty (40) days), Seller or Buyer may terminate
this Agreement by written notice delivered to the other before Seller's Consent
is obtained, in which case Buyer shall be entitled to the return of the Deposit
and neither Buyer nor Seller shall have any further rights or obligations under
this Agreement (except to the extent of any indemnities under this Agreement
with respect to events occurring before such termination, which indemnities
shall survive any such termination and except that Seller shall reimburse Buyer
for Buyer's reasonable and documented out-of-pocket engineering and
environmental expenses (but in no event to exceed $3,600)).
23. FURTHER ASSURANCES. Each party to this Agreement shall execute and
deliver all instruments and documents and take all actions as may be reasonably
required or appropriate to carry out the purposes of this Agreement.
24. COUNTERPARTS AND EXHIBITS. This Agreement may be executed in
counterparts, each of which is deemed an original and all of which together
constitute one document. All exhibits attached to and referenced in this
Agreement are incorporated into this Agreement.
25. TIME OF ESSENCE. Time and strict and punctual performance are of the
essence with respect to each provision of this Agreement.
26. ATTORNEY'S FEES. The prevailing party in any litigation, arbitration,
mediation, bankruptcy, insolvency or other proceeding ("Proceeding") relating to
the enforcement or interpretation of this Agreement may recover from the
unsuccessful party all costs, expenses and
-17-
actual attorney's fees (including expert witness and other consultants' fees and
costs) relating to or arising out of (a) the Proceeding (whether or not the
Proceeding proceeds to judgment), and (b) any post-judgment or post-award
proceeding including, without limitation, one to enforce or collect any judgment
or award resulting from the Proceeding. All such judgments and awards shall
contain a specific provision for the recovery of all such subsequently incurred
costs, expenses and actual attorney's fees.
27. GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of the state in which the Property is located. Each
party hereby authorizes and accepts service of process sufficient for personal
jurisdiction in any action against it as contemplated by this paragraph by

address for the giving of notices set forth in this Agreement.
28. MODIFICATION. This Agreement may be modified only by a writing
executed by the party to this Agreement against whom enforcement of the
modification is sought.
29. PRIOR UNDERSTANDINGS. This Agreement and all documents specifically
referred to and executed in connection with this Agreement: (a) contain the
entire and final agreement of the parties to this Agreement with respect to the
subject matter of this Agreement, and (b) supersede all negotiations,
stipulations, understandings, agreements, representations and warranties, if
any, with respect to such subject matter, which precede or accompany the
execution of this Agreement.
30. INTERPRETATION. Whenever the context so requires in this Agreement,
all words used in the singular may include the plural (and vice versa) and the
word "person" includes a natural person, a corporation, a firm, a partnership, a
joint venture, a trust, an estate or any other entity. The terms "includes" and
"including" do not imply any limitation. Unless "business day " is specified,
the term "day" means a calendar day. The term "business day" means any day
other than a Saturday, Sunday or Federal or other holiday in the State in which
the Property is located. If the last day for any act falls on a day other than
a business day, the time for performance shall be extended to the next business
day. No remedy or election under this Agreement is exclusive, but rather, to
the extent permitted by applicable law, each such remedy and election is
cumulative with all other remedies at law or in equity. The paragraph headings
in this Agreement (a) are included only for convenience, (b) do not in any
manner modify or limit any of the provisions of this Agreement and (c) may not
be used in the interpretation of this Agreement. Each provision of this
Agreement is valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law. If
any provision of this Agreement (or the application of such provision to any
person or circumstance) is or becomes invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of
this Agreement, and the application of such provision to persons or
circumstances other than those as to which it is held invalid or unenforceable,
shall not be affected by such invalidity or unenforceability.
31. SUCCESSORS-IN-INTEREST AND ASSIGNS. Buyer may not assign its rights
under this Agreement to any person or entity without the prior written consent
of Seller, which consent may be withheld in Seller's sole and absolute
discretion; provided, however, that Buyer may assign
-18-
such rights to a subsidiary wholly-owned by Buyer upon written notice given to
Seller not less than five (5) business days prior to the Closing. No assignment
by Buyer of any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement shall relieve
Buyer of any of its obligations under this Agreement unless Seller expressly
agrees to such release in writing. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement
shall be binding on and shall inure to the benefit of the successors-in-interest
and assigns of each party to this Agreement.
32. NOTICES. Each notice and other communication required or permitted to
be given under this Agreement ("Notice") must be in writing. Notice is duly
given to another party upon: (a) hand delivery to the other party, (b) receipt
by the other party when sent by facsimile to the address and number for such
party set forth below (provided, however, that the Notice is not effective
unless a duplicate copy of the facsimile Notice is promptly given by one of the
other methods permitted under this paragraph), (c) three business days after the
Notice has been deposited with the United States postal service as first class
certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, and addressed to the
party as set forth below, or (d) the next business day after the Notice has been
deposited with a reputable overnight delivery service, postage prepaid,

counsel have reviewed and revised this Agreement. The rule of construction that
ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party or in favor of the

35. THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARIES. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to
confer any rights or remedies on any person other than the parties to this
Agreement and their respective successors-in-interest and permitted assignees.
36. CONCURRENT CLOSING. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in this Agreement, the Closing shall be subject to and contingent
upon, and shall occur concurrently with, the Closing of the purchase

with Seller) and Buyer (the "Concurrent Closing Contingency"): Autumn Heights,
Creekside Oaks, Lakeview Village, Las Colinas, Ponte Vedra Beach Village I,
Ponte Vedra Beach Village II, Rancho Antigua, Shadowood Village, Skyline

II & III; provided, however, that in the event this purchase transaction or any
of the other purchase transactions enumerated above is terminated as a result of
(i) condemnation or (ii) damage or destruction in accordance with the applicable
purchase agreement, such purchase transaction(s) shall not be taken into account
in determining whether the Concurrent Closing Contingency shall have been
satisfied (unless the aggregate number of purchase transactions so terminated is
two or more, in which event the Concurrent Closing Contingency shall be deemed
not to have been satisfied) and provided further that in the event of (i)
condemnation or (ii) damage or destruction with respect to Creekside
Oaks/Shadowood Village (the "Companion Project") whereby the purchase
transaction for the Companion Project is terminated in accordance with the
applicable purchase agreement, this purchase transaction shall also be
terminated but this purchase transaction and the purchase transaction for the
Companion Project shall be deemed to be a single purchase transaction for
purposes of determining the aggregate number of purchase transactions so
terminated. In addition, in the event this purchase transaction or any of the
other purchase transactions enumerated above does not close as a result of a
default by Buyer in the performance of its obligations under this Agreement or
any other respective purchase agreement, Seller shall be entitled (but not
obligated) to exercise its rights under Section 12 above and the corresponding
provisions of each such purchase agreement even though the Concurrent Closing
Contingency shall not have been satisfied.
37. EXCLUSIVITY. So long as this Agreement is in effect, Seller shall
not solicit, negotiate, offer or accept an offer for the purchase of the
Property (or any interest therein) for sale or contract to sell the Property (or
any interest therein) to any party other than Buyer or negotiate, solicit or
entertain any offers to purchase or sell the Property (or any interest therein).
38. CONFIDENTIALITY. Buyer and Seller agree that all documents and
information concerning the Property delivered to Buyer, the subject matter of
this Agreement and all negotiations shall remain confidential, and neither party
shall disclose any terms of this Agreement without the prior approval of the
other party except as may be required by law. Buyer and Seller shall be
entitled to disclose such information only to those parties required to know it,
including without limitation employees of either of the parties, consultants,
attorneys and accountants engaged by either Buyer or Seller, and prospective or
existing investors and lenders. This Section 38 shall expire upon the earlier
of the termination of this Agreement and the Closing.

39. RADON DISCLOSURE. Seller is required pursuant to Section 404.056(8),
Florida Statutes, to disclose the following: Radon is a naturally occurring
radioactive gas that, when it has accumulated in a building in sufficient

Levels of radon that exceed federal and state guidelines have been found in
buildings in Florida. Additional information regarding radon and radon testing
may be obtained from your county public health unit.
