Seller shall supply all information concerning the Mortgage. During the
Inspection Period, Buyer may conduct such inspections, at Buyer's sole expense,
as Buyer may deem necessary to ascertain the physical condition of the Real
Property. In the event the Real or Personal Property is not acceptable to Buyer
for any reason, Buyer shall provide written notice of same to Seller, at
Seller's address, prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period. In such
event, this Agreement shall be terminated and of no further force and effect and
Buyer and Seller shall be released of all obligations hereunder and Buyer shall
be refunded all deposits without further notice. Failure of Buyer to deliver
notice to Seller as required herein shall constitute waiver of Buyer's right to
give such notice and shall be deemed acceptance of the Real and Personal
Property by Buyer. Buyer shall (i) complete its inspection Period; (ii) not
disturb or interfere with the operation, management or use of the Project by
Seller, Seller's agents, any tenant of the Project or by any such tenant's
customers, invitee or guests; and (iii) not damage or affect the physical
structure of the Property. Buyer shall be responsible for any and all losses,
damages, charges and other costs associated with such inspections and studies,
and Buyer covenants and agrees to return the Property to the same condition as
existed prior to such inspections and studies. Buyer agrees not to allow any
liens to arise against the Property as a result of such inspections and studies
and agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Seller harmless from and against any
and all claims, charges, actions, costs, suits, damages, injuries, or other
liabilities which arise, either directly or indirectly, from Buyer's or its
agent's entry onto the Property prior to Closing, which obligation expressly
shall survive Closing or earlier termination of this Agreement.
B. Buyer acknowledges that Buyer is purchasing the Property in
"AS IS, WHERE IS" Condition and Buyer further acknowledges that Seller has made
no warranties or representations, express or implied, in respect to the real and
personal property except as set forth herein and further, Buyer has been given
the opportunity and has made an independent investigation of the Property. Buyer
further acknowledges and agrees that Buyer shall be responsible for all due
diligence and analysis with respect to all documents and information provided by
Seller to Buyer,
3
and that any reliance thereon (unless said document and/or information expressly
has been certified to herein by Seller) shall be at sole risk of the Buyer.
6. CLOSING:
A. The closing for delivery of the deed and payment of the
balance of the purchase price shall take place at Buyer's attorney's office at a
mutually agreeable time on June 10, 1998, unless extended by other provisions
hereof.
B. Possession of the Property shall be transferred by Seller
to Buyer simultaneously with the closing of title.
7. FINANCING:
Should Buyer elect to proceed to purchase the Property, then
prior to completion of the Inspection Period, Buyer shall elect to either (i)
purchase the Property for all cash; or (ii) with due diligence and in good
faith, apply for assumption (hereinafter the "Assumption") of the existing first
mortgage in favor of IDS (hereinafter the "Lender") having an approximate
principal balance of $6,700,000.00, upon the terms and conditions of such
mortgage loan (hereinafter the "Mortgage Loan"). Buyer's obligation to complete
the purchase and sale of the Property is not subject to Buyer's assumption of
the Mortgage Loan. However, if Buyer has elected to apply for assumption of the
Mortgage Loan, Seller agrees to cooperate in the assumption process and provided
Buyer is acting with due diligence, Buyer may extend the Closing Date provided
same is necessary to complete the assumption process, but not beyond May 30,
1998. Seller may extend the Closing Date, if necessary, to satisfy the
notice and payment date requirements of the Lender, but not beyond May 30,
1998. In the event Buyer is not approved for the assumption or elects not to
assume the Mortgage Loan, Buyer shall be obligated to close "all cash."
Both Buyer and Seller agree that each will cooperate with the Lender
and Lender's counsel to obtain an Assumption Agreement for which documentary
stamp taxes will not be required. Buyer agrees that Buyer will indemnify and
hold Seller harmless in the event any claims are made against Seller for the
payment of such documentary stamps. This indemnification shall survive Closing.

Agreement by written notice to Buyer. In such event, Buyer's deposits and all
other sums paid to Seller (including any interest earned thereon) shall be
retained by Seller as liquidated and agreed damages for Buyer's default, and
this Agreement shall terminate. Seller has removed the Property from the market

is so canceled, Seller may sell the Property to any third party as though this
Agreement had never been made (without any obligation to account to Buyer for
any part of the proceeds of such sale). Buyer agrees not to file any action

reduction in the amount of the liquidated and agreed upon damages if this

Agreement or fails to perform any of Seller's other obligations under this
Agreement and such default is not cured within 10 days after written notice to
Seller, Buyer's sole and exclusive remedy shall be to (i) obtain a refund of all
deposits made, whereupon this Agreement shall terminate and neither party shall
have any liability to the other, or (ii) bring an action for specific
performance, without waiving Buyer's right to damages incurred as a result of
Seller's fraud or wrongful refusal to convey the Property.
