(a) the Parties warrant to one another that they have not dealt with
any finder, broker or realtor in connection with this Agreement except Sage
Investment Properties ("Sage") and Realty Fund Advisors, LLC ("Realty");
(b) if any person shall assert a claim to a finder's fee or brokerage
commission on account of alleged employment as a finder or broker in connection
with this Agreement (including Sage and/or Realty), the Party under whom the
finder or broker is claiming shall indemnify and hold the other Party harmless
from and against any such claim and all costs, expenses and liabilities incurred
in connection with such claim or any action or proceeding brought on such claim,
including, but not limited to, counsel and witness fees and court costs in
defending against such claim. The provisions of this subsection shall survive
cancellation of this Agreement or XXX; and
(c) Seller shall be responsible for payment of a commission to Sage in
an amount equal to one percent (1.0%) of the Purchase Price, and a commission to
Realty in an amount equal to one-half percent (0.5%) of the Purchase Price,
which commissions shall be paid at XXX.
17. CLOSE OF ESCROW. XXX as to each of the Premises shall be on or before
5:00 p.m. MST on the later of (i) the thirtieth (30th) day after the expiration
of the Study Period (as such Study Period may be extended pursuant to Section
6(b) hereof) or (ii) the date which is ten (10) days after the Tenant commences
paying rent under the Lease, or such earlier date as Buyer may choose by giving
written notice thereof to Seller and Escrow Agent. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, in no event shall XXX occur later than December 15, 2005. Buyer may
extend the XXX date as to each of the Premises for up to an additional thirty
(30) days upon delivery of written notice to extend the XXX date to Escrow Agent
prior to the original XXX date corresponding to such Premises and by depositing
an additional Fifty Thousand and no/100 Dollars ($50,000.00) of xxxxxxx money
with Escrow Agent. For purposes of this Agreement, any additional xxxxxxx money
deposited with Escrow Agent pursuant to this Section 17 shall be added to and
become a part of the Xxxxxxx Money Deposit.
18. ASSIGNMENT. This Agreement may not be assigned by Seller without the
prior written consent of Buyer which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.
Buyer may assign its rights under this Agreement to an affiliate of Buyer
without seeking or obtaining Seller's consent. Such assignment shall not become
effective until the assignee executes an instrument whereby such assignee
expressly assumes each of the obligations of Buyer under this Agreement,
including specifically, without limitation, all obligations concerning the
Xxxxxxx Money Deposit. Buyer may also designate someone other than Buyer, as
grantee and/or assignee, under the Transfer Documents by providing written
notice of such designation at least five (5) days prior to XXX. No assignment
shall release or otherwise relieve Buyer from any obligations hereunder.
19. RISK OF LOSS. Seller shall bear all risk of loss, damage or taking of
the Premises which may occur prior to XXX. In the event of any loss, damage or
taking with respect to any of the Premises prior to XXX, Buyer may, at Buyer's
sole option, by written notice to Seller and Escrow Agent, remove such Premises
from this Agreement (each, a "Rejected Property") and the Purchase Price shall
be reduced by the amount corresponding to such Rejected Property as set forth in
Exhibit A attached hereto, and this Agreement shall continue in full force and
effect with respect to all remaining Premises. In the alternative, Buyer may
attempt to negotiate an appropriate downward adjustment of the Purchase Price.
If Seller and Buyer cannot agree upon such a downward adjustment within a
reasonable period (not to exceed ten (10) days from the date Buyer receives
notice of the loss) Buyer may remove such Rejected Property from this Agreement
as provided above. If Buyer waives any such loss or damage to any such Premises
and closes escrow, Seller shall at XXX and as a condition precedent thereto, pay
Buyer or credit Buyer against the Additional Funds the amount of any insurance
or condemnation proceeds, or assign to Buyer, as of XXX and in a form acceptable
to Buyer, all rights or claims for relief to the same. In the event of any loss,
damage or taking with respect to all of the Premises prior to XXX and Buyer
elects to remove all Premises from this Agreement, then this Agreement shall
automatically terminate, whereupon the Xxxxxxx Money Deposit plus
interest shall be paid immediately to Buyer and, except as otherwise provided in
this Agreement, neither of the Parties shall have any further liability or
obligation hereunder.
20. REMEDIES.
(a) Seller's Breach. If Seller breaches this Agreement, Buyer may, at
Buyer's sole option, either: (i) by written notice to Seller and Escrow Agent,
cancel this Agreement in its entirety whereupon the Xxxxxxx Money Deposit plus
interest shall be paid immediately by Escrow Agent to Buyer and, except as
otherwise provided in this Agreement, neither of the Parties shall have any
further liability or obligation hereunder; or, (ii) seek specific performance
against Seller in which event XXX shall be automatically extended as necessary.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if specific performance is unavailable as a
remedy to Buyer because of Seller's affirmative acts, Buyer shall be entitled to
pursue all rights and remedies available at law or in equity. This limitation of
damages does not apply to the indemnification under Section 16.
(b) Buyer's Breach. If Buyer breaches this Agreement, as its sole
remedy Seller shall be entitled to retain the Xxxxxxx Money Deposit in
accordance with subsection 5(b) as Seller's agreed and total liquidated damages.
Seller hereby waives any right to seek any equitable or legal remedies against
Buyer.
21. ATTORNEYS' FEES. If there is any litigation to enforce any provisions
or rights arising herein in accordance with Section 20(a), the unsuccessful
party in such litigation, as determined by the court, agrees to pay the
successful party, as determined by the court, all costs and expenses, including,
but not limited to, reasonable attorneys' fees incurred by the successful party,
such fees to be determined by the court.

23. CLOSING COSTS.
(a) Closing Costs. Seller and Buyer agree to pay closing costs as
indicated in this Agreement and in the escrow instructions attached hereto as
Exhibit G, and by this reference incorporated herein (the "Escrow
Instructions"). At XXX, Seller shall pay (i) the costs of releasing all liens,
judgments, and other encumbrances that are to be released and of recording such
releases, (ii) one-half the fees and costs due Escrow Agent for its services
(the remaining one-half to be paid by Buyer), (iii) the transfer tax associated
with the sale of the Premises, if any, and (iv) all other costs to be paid by
Seller under this Agreement. Except as otherwise provided for in this Agreement,
Seller and Buyer will each be solely responsible for and bear all of their own
respective expenses, including, without limitation, expenses of legal counsel,
accountants, and other advisors incurred at any time in connection with pursuing
or consummating the transaction contemplated herein. Real estate taxes shall be
prorated based upon the current valuation and latest available tax rates. All
prorations shall be calculated through escrow as of XXX based upon the latest
available information, including, without limitation, a credit to Buyer for any
rent prepaid by Tenant for the period beginning with and including the date on
which the closing occurs through and including the last day of the month in
which the closing occurs. All other credits to Buyer shall be similarly
prorated. Any other closing costs not specifically designated as the
responsibility of either Party in the Escrow Instructions or in this Agreement
shall be paid by Seller and Buyer according to the usual and customary
allocation of the same by Escrow Agent. Seller agrees that all closing costs
payable by Seller shall be deducted from Seller's proceeds otherwise payable to
Seller at XXX. Buyer shall deposit with Escrow Agent sufficient cash to pay all
of Buyer's closing costs. Except as provided in this Section 23(a), Seller and
Buyer shall each bear their own costs in regard to this Agreement.
(b) Post-Closing Adjustment. If after XXX, the parties discover any
errors in adjustments and apportionments or additional information becomes
available which would render the closing prorations materially inaccurate, the
same shall be corrected as soon after their discovery as possible. The provision
of this Section 23(b) shall survive XXX except that no adjustment shall be made
later than two (2) months after XXX unless prior to such date the Party seeking
the adjustment shall have delivered a written notice to the other Party
specifying the nature and basis for such claim. In the event that such claim is
valid, the Party against whom the claim is sought shall have ten (10) days in
which to remit any adjustment due.
(c) Instructions. This Agreement, together with the Escrow
Instructions, shall constitute escrow instructions for the transaction
contemplated herein. Such escrow instructions shall be construed as applying
principally to Escrow Agent's employment.
24. ESCROW CANCELLATION CHARGES. If escrow fails to close because of
Seller's default, Seller shall be liable for any cancellation charges of Escrow
Agent. If escrow fails to close because of Buyer's default, Buyer shall be
liable for any cancellation charges of Escrow Agent. If escrow fails to close
for any other reason, Seller and Buyer shall each be liable for one-half of any
cancellation charges of Escrow Agent. The provisions of this Section 24 shall
survive cancellation of this Agreement.
25. APPROVALS. Concerning all matters in this Agreement requiring the
consent or approval of any Party, the Parties agree that any such consent or
approval shall not be unreasonably withheld unless otherwise provided in this
Agreement.
26. Intentionally Deleted.

this Agreement requires any act to be done or action to be taken on a date which
is a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday, such act or action shall be deemed to
have been validly done or taken if done or taken on the next succeeding day
which is not a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday, and the successive periods
shall be deemed extended accordingly.

or any ambiguity resulting from, the terms and provisions of this Agreement and
