Paragraph 7.1 of this Agreement, Seller shall bear all risk of loss with
respect to the Property up to the earlier of the dates upon which either
possession or title is transferred to Purchaser in accordance with this
Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of damage to the
Property by fire or other casualty prior to the Closing Date, repair of which
would cost less than or equal to $100,000.00 (as determined by Seller in good
faith) Purchaser shall not have the right to terminate its obligations under
this Agreement by reason thereof, but Seller shall have the right to elect to
either repair and restore the Property (in which case the Closing Date shall

to all insurance proceeds paid or payable to Seller on account of such fire or
casualty.
Seller shall promptly notify Purchaser in writing of any such fire or other
casualty and Seller's determination of the cost to repair the damage caused
thereby. In the event of damage to the Property by fire or other casualty
prior to the Closing Date, repair of which would cost in excess of

be terminated at the option of Purchaser, which option shall be exercised, if
at all, by Purchaser's written notice thereof to Seller within five (5)

casualty and Seller's determination of the amount of such damages, and
upon the exercise of such option by Purchaser this Agreement shall become
null and void, the Xxxxxxx Money deposited by Purchaser shall be returned to
Purchaser together with interest thereon, and neither party shall have any
further liability or obligations hereunder. In the event that Purchaser does
not exercise the option set forth in the preceding sentence, the Closing

condemnation or eminent domain proceedings are initiated which might result
in the taking of any part of the Property or the taking or closing of any right
of access to the Property, Seller shall immediately notify Purchaser of such
occurrence. In the event that the taking of any part of the Property shall:
(i) materially impair access to the Property; (ii) cause any material
non-compliance with any applicable law, ordinance, rule or regulation of any
federal, state or local authority or governmental agencies having
jurisdiction over the Property or any portion thereof; (iii) result in a
taking of greater than ten percent (10%) of rentable square footage of the
Property; or (iv) materially and adversely impair the use of the Property as
it is currently being operated (hereinafter collectively referred to as

which event the Xxxxxxx Money deposited by Purchaser, together with interest
thereon, shall be returned to Purchaser and all rights and obligations of the
parties hereunder with respect to the closing of this transaction will cease;
or
6.2.2. proceed with the Closing, in which event Seller shall assign
to Purchaser all of Seller's right, title and interest in and to any award
made in connection with such condemnation or eminent domain proceedings.
6.3. Purchaser shall then notify Seller, within five (5) business days
after Purchaser's receipt of Seller's notice, whether Purchaser elects to
exercise its rights under Paragraph 6.2.1 or Paragraph 6.2.2. Closing shall
be delayed, if necessary, until Purchaser makes such election. If Purchaser
fails to make an election within such five (5) business day period, Purchaser
shall be deemed to have elected to exercise its rights under Paragraph 6.2.2.
If between the date of this Agreement and the Closing Date, any condemnation
or eminent domain proceedings are initiated which do not constitute a
Material Event, Purchaser shall be required to proceed with the Closing, in
which event Seller shall assign to Purchaser all of Seller's right, title and
interest in and to any award made in connection with such condemnation or
eminent domain proceedings.

defined)), as applicable, to Purchaser within three (3) business days of
execution by Seller and the new tenant or existing tenant, as applicable, but
in any event on or before two (2) business days prior to the expiration of
the Inspection Period. In the event Purchaser disapproves of such new lease

event that Purchaser does not terminate this Agreement as aforesaid,
Purchaser shall be responsible for the costs of all tenant improvements,
leasing costs and commissions associated with the negotiation and execution
of any such new lease or existing lease modification or renewal ("New Lease
Costs"); provided that, to the extent that rent commences under such new
lease or modification and is received by Seller, the New Lease Costs shall be
prorated at Closing (between the entire term of the new and modified lease
and the period between such rent commencement and Closing). Subject to such
proration, Seller shall receive a credit at Closing for any New Lease Cost
incurred by Seller prior to Closing.
After the date seven (7) business days prior to the expiration of the
Inspection Period, Seller shall not execute any new lease or existing lease
modification or renewal affecting the Property without Purchaser's prior

(together with an estimation of the New Lease Costs). If approved by
Purchaser, a complete copy of any such new lease or existing lease
modification or renewal shall be delivered to Purchaser within ten (10) days
of the full execution thereof. All New Lease Costs shall be paid by
Purchaser and Seller shall receive a credit at Closing for any New Lease
Costs incurred by Seller prior to Closing.
26. TENANT CERTIFICATE CONDITION TO CLOSING.
26.1. The following terms have been defined as follows for convenience
of reference:
(i) "Tenant Certificate" means a certificate addressed to Purchaser,
in the form set forth on Exhibit L hereto.
(ii) "Qualification" means any assertion in a Tenant Certificate
that, in Purchaser's good faith judgment, is of (a) a material and adverse
claim, counterclaim, offset or defense against the landlord, (b)
information which is
contrary to the information contained in the rent roll attached hereto as
Exhibit M or to the leases delivered to Purchaser by Seller, (c) a
material obligation of the landlord not contained in this Agreement or any
written material (including any lease) delivered by Seller to Purchaser or
(d) a default on the part of the landlord giving rise to a termination
right of tenant;
(iv) "Unacceptable Qualification" means any Qualification other than
the following:
(a) a Qualification which is expressly disclosed on the rent
roll attached hereto as Exhibit M, provided the same is not as a
result of a default by Seller; or
(b) a Qualification expressly disclosed in this Agreement or
the Exhibits attached hereto and made a part hereof.
26.2. If a Qualification is not an Unacceptable Qualification, it
shall not affect Purchaser's obligations to close hereunder or give rise to any
liability from Seller to Purchaser.
26.3. Seller shall promptly request a Tenant Certificate in the form
of Exhibit L from all tenants, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to
pursue the collection of the same. Seller shall deliver to Purchaser, upon
Seller's receipt thereof, all Tenant Certificates signed by tenants (whether in
the form of Exhibit L or otherwise).
26.4. It shall be a condition to Purchaser's obligations hereunder
(the "Estoppel Condition") that Seller deliver to Purchaser, at or prior to
May 27, 1997 (i) a Tenant Certificate from (i) each tenant of the Property
occupying or leasing at least 10,000 square feet of gross leasable area of
the Property ("Major Tenant"), and (ii) a Tenant Certificate from tenants
leasing in the aggregate fifty percent (50%) of the rentable square footage
remaining of the Property after the deduction of the square footage rented by
the Major Tenants. A Tenant Certificate shall not be counted toward
satisfaction of the Estoppel Condition if such certificate discloses
Unacceptable Qualifications; provided that Unacceptable Qualifications with
an aggregate "Estoppel Qualification Sum" (hereinafter defined) of less than
$100,000 shall be permitted as provided herein. The "Estoppel Qualification
Sum" shall mean the following:
(i) if the claim asserted arises out of a defect which can be cured,
with the expenditure of money on a one time basis, such as a physical
defect, then such sum shall be calculated by a reasonable estimate of the
cost to repair or remediate said defect; and
(ii) if the claim asserted affects a continuing obligation of a
tenant under the lease, such as the payment of rent, then the claim shall
be calculated by (i) determining the amount of the claim on a per annum
basis, (ii) multiplying said amount by the number of years or partial
years said claim would affect the monetary obligations under the lease
and (iii) discounting said product on a present value basis using a
discount rate of 10% per annum.
If the Unacceptable Qualifications have an Estoppel Qualification Sum of
less than $100,000 in the aggregate for all of the Leases, then Seller shall
either (i) grant Purchaser a credit at Closing for an amount equal to the
Estoppel Qualification Sum, or (ii) cure all conditions giving rise to an
Unacceptable Qualification on or before the Closing. The determination to
perform the covenant contained in subparagraphs (i) or (ii) in the preceding
sentence shall be made by Seller in its sole discretion. Provided Seller
performs its covenant in this Paragraph 26.4, the disclosure of Unacceptable
Qualifications having an Estoppel
Qualification Sum of less than $100,000 in the
aggregate shall not affect Purchaser's obligations to close hereunder or give
rise to any additional liability from Seller to Purchaser.
26.5. If Seller has not satisfied the Estoppel Condition on or before
May 27, 1997, then Purchaser shall have the right either (i) to terminate this
Agreement, or (ii) extend the Closing Date until June 17, 1997, by delivering
written notice to Seller on or before May 30, 1997. If Purchaser exercises its
rights to terminate in accordance with the terms of this Paragraph 26.5, this
Agreement shall be null and void without further action of the parties and all
Xxxxxxx Money theretofore deposited by Purchaser together with any interest
accrued thereon, shall be returned to Purchaser, and neither party shall have
any further liability to the other, except for those obligations which
specifically survive the terms hereof. If Purchaser does not terminate this
Agreement pursuant to the first sentence of this Paragraph 26.5, the parties
shall proceed to Closing and (i) Purchaser shall receive a credit at Closing
equal to the amount of the Estoppel Qualification Sum of the Unacceptable
Qualifications contained in the Tenant Certificates and Seller Tenant
Certificates, up to an aggregate amount of $100,000 or (ii) Seller shall cure
all conditions giving rise to an Unacceptable Qualification Sum up to an
aggregate amount of $100,000. The determination to perform the covenant
contained in subparagraphs (i) or (ii) in the preceding sentence shall be made
by Seller in its sole discretion.
26.6. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, if
Seller does not satisfy the Estoppel Condition because the Estoppel
Qualification Sum exceeds $100,000 and Purchaser has terminated the
Agreement pursuant to Paragraph 26.5, Seller shall have the right to vitiate
Purchaser's termination by written notice on or before 5:00 p.m. Chicago time
on June 2, 1997 in which case the parties shall proceed to Closing and Seller
shall either (i) grant Purchaser at Closing a credit for an amount to the
Estoppel Qualification Sum or (ii) cure all conditions giving rise to an
Unacceptable Qualification on or before the Closing. The determination to
perform the covenant contained in subparagraphs (i) or (ii) in the preceding
sentence shall be made by Seller in its sole discretion.
27. CITY OF LOVELAND LITIGATION. Purchaser acknowledges that Seller has filed
a Complaint against the parties described on Exhibit N (the "Litigation"), and
that Seller is pursuing its claims under such Complaint. During the Inspection
Period, Seller and Purchaser shall negotiate in good faith to agree upon an
assignment or other resolution of the rights of Seller to the Litigation. In
the event an agreement cannot be reached between Seller and Purchaser on or
before the Inspection Period, Purchaser may terminate the Agreement as set
forth in Paragraph 7 above.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have put their hand and seal as of
the date first set forth above.
