collectively referred to herein as the “Property.”

ARTICLE
II
TITLE AND
SURVEY
2.1 Title Commitment. As
soon after the Effective Date as reasonably practicable through the use of good
faith efforts by Seller, Seller shall cause the Title Company to deliver to
Purchaser, at Seller’s expense, (a) a title commitment (“Commitment”) for
an owner’s policy of title insurance, issued by the Title Company in the amount
of the Purchase Price, and (b) legible copies of all instruments referenced
in Schedule B and Schedule C of the Commitment.
2.2 Survey. As soon after
the Effective Date as reasonably practicable through the use of good faith
efforts by Seller, Seller shall cause to be delivered to Purchaser, at Seller’s
expense, an existing survey (“Existing Survey”) of the Real Estate and
Improvements. Seller will also provide Purchaser with an updated survey at
Seller’s expense (together with the Existing Survey, the “Survey”).
2.3 Review of Commitment and
Survey. Purchaser shall have until January 27, 2010 (the “Title Review
Period”), to notify Seller in writing of such objections as Purchaser may have
to anything contained in the Commitment or the Survey; provided, however, that
Purchaser shall not have the right to object to any Permitted Exceptions
described in Section 2.5 below. If Purchaser fails to object in writing to
any item contained in the Commitment or the Survey during the Title Review
Period, Purchaser shall be deemed to have waived its right to object to such
item, and such item shall thereafter be deemed a Permitted Exception. In the
event that Purchaser objects to any item contained in the Commitment or the
Survey within the Title Review Period (such items being herein referred to as
“Title Defects”), Seller shall notify Purchaser in writing within three (3)
business days following the date of Purchaser’s notice of such Title Defects
(the “Cure Period”) that either (a) the Title Defects have been, or will be
at or prior to Closing, removed from the Commitment or the Survey, as the case
may be, or (b) Seller has failed to arrange to have the Title Defects
removed.
Page

Exhibit
10.1
2.4 Failure to Cure Title
Defects. If upon the expiration of the Cure Period Seller has not
notified Purchaser that Seller has arranged to have the Title Defects removed,
then Purchaser may elect (which election must be made in writing within two (2)
business days following expiration of the Cure Period) either: (a) to
terminate this Agreement, in which event the Xxxxxxx Money shall be returned to
Purchaser as Purchaser’s sole remedy hereunder; or (b) to take title as it
then is. If Purchaser does not, within two (2) business days after the
expiration of the Cure Period, send written notice to Seller of its election to
terminate this Agreement pursuant to clause (a) of the preceding sentence, then:
(x) Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected to take title as it then is
without any reduction in the Purchase Price; (y) all Title Defects not
removed from the Commitment or the Survey will thenceforth be deemed Permitted
Exceptions; and (z) this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.
Anything to the contrary in this Agreement notwithstanding, Seller shall have no
affirmative obligation hereunder to expend any funds or incur any liabilities in
order to cause any matters shown in the Commitment or the Survey to be removed,
cured or insured over, except that Seller shall pay or discharge any lien or
encumbrance arising after the date hereof and voluntarily created or assumed by
Seller and not created by or resulting from the acts of Purchaser or other
parties not related to Seller. If the Commitment (or any subsequent revision
thereof) discloses exceptions other than the Permitted Exceptions, and other
than those which Seller has agreed to insure against, pay or discharge, then
unless Purchaser agrees to accept title as it then is without reduction of the
Purchase Price, Seller may, at its option, terminate this Agreement, in which
event the Xxxxxxx Money shall be returned to Purchaser as Purchaser’s sole
remedy under this Agreement.
2.5 Other Permitted
Exceptions. In addition to those matters shown in the Commitment and the
Survey which become Permitted Exceptions pursuant to Section 2.4 above, the
following shall also be deemed to be Permitted Exceptions: (a) the Leases;
(b) taxes and standby fees for the year in which Closing occurs;
(c) liens and encumbrances arising after the date hereof to which Purchaser
consents in writing; and (d) any liens or encumbrances of a definite or
ascertainable amount, provided that Seller causes such liens or encumbrances to
be insured around such that same do not appear as an exception in the owner’s
title insurance policy issued to Purchaser pursuant to the
Commitment.
2.6 Owner Title Policy.
Subject to the provisions of Section 2.4, on the Closing Date Seller shall
cause the Title Company to issue an owner’s title insurance policy at Seller’s
cost insuring fee simple title in Purchaser as of the Closing Date, in
accordance with the Commitment, subject only to the Permitted Exceptions;
provided, however, that Seller shall have no obligation to pay anything other
than the basic premium for such title insurance policy. If Purchaser desires to
obtain a modification of the “survey exception” or other modification or
endorsement, same shall be at the sole expense of Purchaser.
2.7 Expiration of Inspection
Period. It is the intent of the parties that the right granted to
Purchaser to terminate this Agreement shall expire upon the expiration of the
Inspection Period, notwithstanding that the Title Review Period, the Cure Period
or any election period may extend beyond the expiration of the Inspection
Period. Accordingly, notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary,
if Purchaser has not terminated this Agreement pursuant to Section 2.4(a)
prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period, then Purchaser shall no longer
have any right to terminate this Agreement under Section 2.4(a), and in
such event Purchaser shall be bound to accept title to the Property under the
conditions specified in Sections 2.4(x), 2.4(y) and 2.4(z)
above.
2.8 New Title Defects. In
the event that, after the expiration of the Inspection Period and prior to
Closing, a revision of the Title Commitment or the Survey reveals an adverse
matter objectionable to Purchaser that was not disclosed to Purchaser prior to
the expiration of the Inspection Period and is not a Permitted Exception (a “New
Title Defect”), Purchaser shall have five (5) business days after such matter is
disclosed to Purchaser to send written notice to Seller of such New Title Defect
(it being agreed that if Purchaser fails to object to the New Title Defect
within such five-business-day period, then such New Title Defect shall
thereafter be deemed a Permitted Exception). Seller shall notify Purchaser in
writing within five (5) days following the date of Purchaser’s notice of such
New Title Defect (the “New Title Defect Cure Period”) that either (a) the
New Title Defect has been, or will be at or prior to Closing, removed from the
Commitment or the Survey, as the case may be, or (b) Seller has failed to
arrange to have the New Title Defect removed. If, upon the expiration of the New
Title Defect Cure Period, Seller has not notified Purchaser that Seller has
arranged to have the New Title Defect removed, then Purchaser may elect (which
election must be made in writing within five (5) days following expiration of
the New Title Defect Cure Period) either: (i) to terminate this Agreement
as Purchaser’s sole remedy hereunder (in which event the Xxxxxxx Money shall be
returned to Purchaser); or (ii) to take title as it then is. If Purchaser
does not, within five (5) days after the expiration of the New Title Defect Cure
Period, send written notice to Seller of its election to terminate this
Agreement pursuant to clause (i) of the preceding sentence, then
(x) Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected to take title as it then is
without any reduction in the Purchase Price; (y) the New Title Defect will
thenceforth be deemed a Permitted Exception; and (z) this Agreement shall
remain in full force and effect.

INSPECTION
PERIOD
3.1 Property Documents.
As soon after the Effective Date as reasonably practicable through the use of
good faith efforts by Seller, Seller shall deliver or make available to
Purchaser at the Property or at Seller’s office or through a secure website, to
the extent in Seller’s possession, the documents described on Exhibit B
attached hereto and made a part hereof for all purposes (the “Property
Documents”). Purchaser shall, if requested by Seller, execute instruments
acknowledging receipt of the Property Documents or any other document delivered
or made available to Purchaser in connection with the transaction contemplated
hereby. During the Inspection Period (as hereinafter defined), Purchaser may
inspect the Property Documents during normal business hours and may photocopy
same at Purchaser’s expense. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, Seller
shall not be obligated to deliver to Purchaser any report described in Exhibit B if the
terms of such report restrict Seller from doing so. With respect to any
environmental report or other report described in Exhibit B which
Seller delivers to Purchaser, Purchaser understands and agrees that
(a) such report shall be delivered to Purchaser for general information
purposes only, (b) Purchaser shall not have any right to rely on any report
received from Seller and will not rely thereon, but rather will rely on
inspections and reports performed by or on behalf of Purchaser, and
(c) Seller shall have absolutely no liability for any inaccuracy in or
omission from any report which it delivers to Purchaser.
3.2 Right of Inspection.
During the period beginning on the Effective Date and ending at 5 p.m.,
Dallas, Texas time, on February 5, 2010 (the “Inspection Period”), Purchaser and
its representatives (including Purchaser’s architects, engineers and
consultants) shall have the right to examine the Property Documents and to make
a physical inspection of the Property (including the right to conduct such soil,
engineering, environmental, hazardous or toxic material, noise pollution,
seismic or other physical test, study or investigation as Purchaser may desire,
provided, however, that Purchaser must obtain Seller’s consent to any physically
invasive testing). In this regard, Purchaser and its authorized agents and
representatives shall be entitled to enter upon the Property at all reasonable
times during the Inspection Period, upon reasonable prior oral or written notice
to Seller and while accompanied by a representative of Seller, subject to the
rights of tenants of the Property. All activities by Purchaser or its
representatives during the Inspection Period shall be coordinated through
Seller’s designated representative, Xxxx Xxxxx, including, but not limited to,
contact with tenants, and Seller shall have the right to have a representative
present during any meetings with tenants. All inspections shall occur at
reasonable times agreed upon by Seller and Purchaser and shall be conducted so
as not to unreasonably interfere with use of the Property by Seller or tenants
of the Property. In no event shall Purchaser or its representatives perform any
off-site testing. Purchaser will use its best efforts to minimize any disruption
or interference caused by any such testing and will repair damage caused by such
testing. Purchaser shall indemnify, defend and hold Seller and the Property
harmless of and from any and all losses, liabilities, costs, expenses
(including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of court),
damages, liens, claims (including, without limitation, mechanics’ or
materialmen’s liens or claims of liens), actions and causes of actions arising
from or relating to Purchaser’s (or Purchaser’s agents, employees or
representatives) entering upon the Property to test, study, investigate or
inspect the same or any part thereof, whether pursuant to this Section 3.2
or otherwise, except to the extent arising solely from the negligence of Seller.
The foregoing indemnity of Purchaser shall expressly survive the Closing or the
earlier termination of this Agreement.

Exhibit
10.1
3.3 Right of Termination
Seller agrees that in the event Purchaser determines, in its sole discretion,
that the Property is not suitable for its purposes, then Purchaser shall have
the right (“Purchaser’s Termination Right”) to terminate this Agreement.
Purchaser’s Termination Right shall be exercisable only by sending written
notice of termination (the “Notice of Termination”) to Seller prior to the
expiration of the Inspection Period. In the event that Purchaser timely
exercises Purchaser’s Termination Right, this Agreement shall terminate and the
Xxxxxxx Money shall be returned to Purchaser. If Purchaser fails to send Seller
a Notice of Termination prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period,
Purchaser shall be deemed to have approved the Property Documents and the
Property in all respects and Purchaser’s Termination Right shall automatically
and irrevocably expire.
3.4 Payment of Certain Expenses
Upon Termination. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to
the contrary, in the event that Purchaser exercises Purchaser’s Termination
Right, Seller shall be responsible for payment of any escrow costs charged by
the Title Company in connection with this Agreement.
3.5 Financing
Contingency. Purchaser has informed Seller that it is securing financing
for the purchase of the Property. Notwithstanding the expiration of the
Inspection Period, Purchaser shall have the right to terminate this Agreement in
the event that it does not secure financing by giving written notice to Seller
not later than February 10, 2010. Such termination right shall be solely limited
to the failure to obtain financing and Purchaser represents and warrants that it
will use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such financing. All other
aspects of the Property and Property Documents shall be deemed approved pursuant
to Section 3.3 above upon the expiration of the Inspection Period. If
Purchaser fails to send Seller written notice of termination pursuant to this
Section 3.5 by February 10, 2010, then Purchaser shall have no further
right to terminate except as expressly set forth in this Agreement.

CLOSING
4.1 Time and Place. The
consummation of the purchase and sale of the Property (“Closing”) shall take
place via facsimile or email through the office of the Escrow Agent, on a date
(the “Closing Date”) mutually agreed upon by the parties, but not later than
February 16, 2010. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser shall have the right
to extend the Closing until March 2, 2010, upon written notice to Seller no
later than February 12, 2010, and the simultaneous deposit of an additional
Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000) with Escrow Agent. Such Fifty Thousand Dollars

to Purchaser such tenant estoppel certificates (as described in
Section 5.5(a) hereof) as are in the possession of Seller;
(g) deliver

agreed that the Xxxxxxx Money shall be delivered to Seller at Closing and
applied towards payment of the Purchase Price.
(b) join with
Seller in execution of the instruments described in Sections 4.2(b),
4.2(c), and 4.2(d);
(c) deliver
to Seller an Agreement Regarding Disclaimers in the form of Exhibit H
attached hereto and made a part hereof for all purposes executed by Purchaser
and counsel for Purchaser; and
(d) deliver
to Seller such evidence as Seller’s counsel and/or the Title Company may
reasonably require as to the authority of the person or persons executing
documents on behalf of Purchaser.
4.4 Prorations. The
following adjustments to the Purchase Price paid hereunder shall be made between
Seller and Purchaser and shall be prorated (as applicable) on a per diem basis
as if Purchaser owned the Property for the entire day on the Closing
Date:
(a) Current
rents, advance rentals (but only to the extent actually received by Seller) and
other income from the Property shall be prorated between Seller and Purchaser at
Closing based upon such amounts actually collected by Seller as of the Closing
Date. Rent which is unpaid or delinquent as of the Closing Date shall not be
prorated, but such unpaid or delinquent rent collected after the Closing Date
shall be delivered as follows: (i) if Seller collects any unpaid or
delinquent rent after the Closing Date, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser any
such rent relating to the Closing Date and any period thereafter within fifteen
(15) days after the receipt thereof, and (ii) if Purchaser collects any
unpaid or delinquent rent after the Closing Date, Purchaser shall deliver to
Seller any such rent relating to the period prior to the Closing Date within
fifteen (15) days after the receipt thereof. Seller and Purchaser agree that
(A) all rent received by Seller after the Closing Date shall be applied
first to delinquent rentals, if any, in the order of their maturity, and then to
current rentals, and (B) all rent received by Purchaser after the Closing
Date shall be applied first to current rentals and then to delinquent rentals,
if any, in inverse order of maturity. Purchaser will make a good faith effort
after Closing to collect all rents (including without limitation the Pass
Through Expenses and percentage rents described in Section 4.4(b) below) in
the usual course of Purchaser’s operation of the Property, but Purchaser will
not be obligated to institute any lawsuit or incur any expense to collect
delinquent rents. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, Seller shall not be
required to prorate any amounts collected by Seller after Closing from former
tenants of the Property, it being understood and agreed that Seller may retain
all amounts that Seller recovers from such former tenants.
Page

Exhibit
10.1
(b) With
respect to additional rent attributable to insurance, taxes, common area
maintenance and other operating expenses which are passed through to tenants
under the Leases (the “Pass Through Expenses”) and as of the Closing Date are
unbilled or billed but not yet collected, Purchaser shall, upon collection of
such Pass Through Expenses, remit to Seller an amount equal to that portion of
Pass Through Expenses which accrued prior to the Closing Date. With respect to
Pass Through Expenses which have not been billed to tenants as of the Closing
Date, Purchaser shall xxxx each tenant for same in accordance with each such
tenant’s Lease. With respect to percentage rents based upon gross sales or other
income generated by the business of a tenant located on the Property during a
specified period of time (the “Applicable Period”), Purchaser shall, upon
collection of such percentage rent, remit to Seller an amount equal to the
product of the percentage rent so collected multiplied by a fraction, the
numerator of which is the number of days which have elapsed in the Applicable
Period prior to the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the total
number of days in the Applicable Period. The obligations set forth in this
Section 4.4(b) shall survive the Closing.
(c) Charges
under service agreements or utility charges (if any) for which Seller is liable,
and other operating expenses of the Property shall be prorated between Seller
and Purchaser at Closing.
(d) Security
deposits shall, at Seller’s option, either be transferred or credited to
Purchaser at Closing. Refundable cash or other refundable deposits posted with
utility companies or other entities in connection with the Property shall, at
Sellers’ option, either be assigned to Purchaser and credited to Seller at
Closing, or Seller shall be entitled to receive and retain such refundable cash
and deposits.
(e) Purchaser
shall be responsible for the payment of (i) all Tenant Inducement Costs (as
hereinafter defined) and leasing commissions which become due and payable
(whether before or after Closing) (A) as a result of any renewals or expansions
of existing Leases which occur between the Effective Date of this Agreement and
the Closing Date, and (B) under any new Leases (including any amendments of
existing Leases) entered into between the Effective Date of this Agreement and
the Closing Date which have been approved (or deemed approved) by Purchaser; and
(ii) all Tenant Inducement Costs and leasing commissions which become due
and payable from and after the Closing Date. If as of the Closing Date Seller
shall have paid any Tenant Inducement Costs or leasing commissions for which
Purchaser is responsible pursuant to the foregoing provisions, Purchaser shall
reimburse Seller therefor at Closing. Seller shall supply invoices and
statements for all such Tenant Inducement Costs and leasing commissions to
Purchaser on or prior to the Closing Date. For purposes hereof, the term “Tenant
Inducement Costs” means reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs incurred in
connection with the preparation and negotiation of a new Lease or a renewal or
expansion of an existing Lease and any out-of-pocket payments required under a
Lease to be paid by the landlord thereunder to or for the benefit of the tenant
thereunder which is in the nature of a tenant inducement, including
specifically, without limitation, tenant improvement costs, lease buyout costs,
and moving, design, refurbishment and club membership allowances. The term
“Tenant Inducement Costs” shall not include loss of income resulting from any
free rental period, it being agreed that Seller shall bear the loss resulting
from any free rental period until the Closing Date and that Purchaser shall bear
such loss from and after the Closing Date. Seller shall, at its sole option,
either transfer to SunGard or pay to Purchaser or Purchaser’s escrow account
Tenant Inducement Costs owed as of the Closing Date to SunGard, if any, pursuant
to that certain Second Amendment to Lease dated February 20, 2009. In the event
that Seller elects to pay Purchaser or Purchaser’s escrow account, then
Purchaser shall be responsible for paying such Tenant Inducement Costs to
SunGard and shall indemnify and hold harmless Seller from any liability,
damages, causes of action, expenses and attorneys’ fees incurred by reason of
failure of Purchaser to pay the Tenant Inducement Costs owed to SunGard, which
obligation shall survive the Closing.

(f) All
prorations described in this Section 4.4 shall be effected by increasing or
decreasing, as appropriate, the amount of cash to be paid by Purchaser to Seller
at Closing. Except for the prorations described in Section 4.4(b) above,
all prorations provided for herein shall be final. Section 4.4(b) above
shall be deemed final if no adjustment thereto is requested within 180 days
after Closing.

this transaction; (b) the cost of the preliminary title insurance
commitment; (c) the cost of the Survey; (d) the fees for recording the

transaction; (x) the premium for the Owner’s Policy of Title Insurance to
be issued by the Title Company at Closing, including the additional premium
chargeable for modification of the survey exception, if such modification is
desired by Purchaser or any endorsements; (y) any mortgage registry tax,
documentary stamp tax, sales tax or similar tax which becomes payable by reason
of the transfer of the Property or any component thereof; and (z) one-half

expenses incident to this transaction and the closing thereof shall be paid by
the party incurring same.
4.6 Delivery of
Documents. Immediately after Closing, Seller shall direct the manager of
the Property to make available at the offices of such manager all books and
records of account, contracts, leases and leasing correspondence, receipts for
deposits, unpaid bills and other papers or documents which pertain to the
operation of the Property together with all advertising materials, booklets,
keys and other items, if any, used in the operation of the Property. Seller
makes no representations regarding the existence or adequacy of such documents
or items for use in management or operation of the Property. The foregoing shall
not include the separate books, records, correspondence and other documentation
of Seller located at its offices, nor shall it include any computer software or
computer programs used by the manager of the Property or Seller in connection
with the Property, it being understood and agreed that the foregoing items are
not part of the “Property” to be conveyed to Purchaser hereunder. After the
Closing, Seller shall have the right to inspect the books and records of the
Property to verify that Purchaser is remitting to Seller all amounts to be
remitted to Seller according to the terms of this Agreement, and for any other
purpose related to Seller’s prior ownership of the Property, and this provision
shall survive Closing.

assessments with respect to the Property and interest or penalties pertaining

Seller shall be entitled to any refunds made with respect to such contested
taxes. All taxes imposed because of a change of use or ownership of the Property
after or in connection with the Closing shall be for the account of Purchaser,
and Purchaser shall indemnify and hold Seller harmless of, from and against any
and all costs, damages, expenses, claims, or liability arising from the

investigation pending or threatened against Seller or the Property.
(e) All
leasing commissions due with regard to the primary lease terms of existing
tenants have been paid.
(f) To
Seller’s knowledge, there is no pending or threatened, condemnation or similar
proceeding affecting the Property or any portion thereof.
5.2 Notice of
Breach.
(a) To the
extent that, before the expiration of the Inspection Period, Purchaser obtains
actual knowledge or is deemed to know that Seller’s representations and
warranties are inaccurate, untrue or incorrect in any way, such representations
and warranties shall be deemed modified to reflect such actual or deemed
knowledge as of the end of the Inspection Period. For purposes hereof, Purchaser
shall be deemed to know all information set forth in the written materials
delivered to Purchaser in respect of the Property.
(b) If after
the expiration of the Inspection Period but prior to the Closing, Purchaser
first obtains actual knowledge that any of the representations or warranties
made herein by Seller are untrue, inaccurate or incorrect in any material
respect, Purchaser shall give Seller written notice thereof within five (5) days
after obtaining such actual knowledge (but, in any event, prior to the Closing).
In such event, Seller shall have the right (but not the obligation) to attempt
to cure such misrepresentation or breach and shall, at its option, be entitled
to a reasonable adjournments of the Closing (not to exceed thirty (30) days) for
the purpose of such cure. If Seller elects to attempt to so cure but is unable
to so cure any misrepresentation or breach of warranty, then Purchaser, as its
sole remedy for any and all such materially untrue, inaccurate or incorrect
representations or warranties, shall elect either (i) to waive such
misrepresentations or breaches of representations and warranties and consummate
the transaction contemplated hereby without any reduction of or credit against
the Purchase Price, or (ii) if Purchaser first obtained actual knowledge of
such material misrepresentation or breach of warranty after the end of the
Inspection Period, to terminate this Agreement in its entirety by written notice
given to Seller on the Closing Date, in which event this Agreement shall be
terminated, the Xxxxxxx Money shall be returned to Purchaser, and thereafter
neither party shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder except as
provided in any section hereof that by its terms expressly provides that it
survives any termination of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
limitation on Purchaser’s remedy set forth above shall not apply to an
intentional misrepresentation by Seller.

5.3 Survival of
Representations. It is the intent of Seller and Purchaser that the
representations and warranties made by Seller in Section 5.1 above (the
“Seller Obligations”) shall survive Closing for a period of one hundred eighty
(180) days after the date of Closing. Accordingly, Purchaser and Seller hereby
agree that, notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement or any provision of
law to the contrary, any action which may be brought under this Agreement by
Purchaser against Seller for breach of any Seller Obligations shall be forever
barred unless Purchaser (a) delivers to Seller no later than one hundred
eighty (180) days after the date of Closing a written notice of its claim
setting forth in reasonable detail the factual basis for such claim and
Purchaser’s good faith estimate of its damages arising out of such claim, and
(b) files a complaint or petition against Seller alleging such claim in an
appropriate state or federal court in Hennepin County, Minnesota, no later than
two (2) years after the date of Closing. In no event shall Seller be liable
after the date of Closing for its breach of any Seller Obligations if such
breach was actually known to Purchaser prior to the completion of Closing. With
respect to any matter constituting breach of a Seller Obligation, Seller’s
liability for breach of any Seller Obligations shall be limited as follows:
(i) Seller shall have liability for breach of Seller Obligations only if
the valid claims for all such breaches collectively aggregate more than Twenty
Thousand Dollars ($20,000), in which event the full amount of such claims shall
be actionable, and (ii) Seller’s aggregate liability to Purchaser for
breaches of the Seller Obligations shall not exceed the amount of One Hundred
Thousand Dollars ($100,000) (the “Cap”), it being agreed that in no event shall
Seller’s aggregate liability for such breaches exceed the amount of the
Cap.
5.4 Covenants of Seller.
Seller hereby covenants as follows:
(a) Between
the Effective Date and the Closing Date, Seller shall maintain, or shall cause
the tenant to maintain, the Property in its present condition, ordinary wear and
tear excepted;
(b) Between
the Effective Date and the Closing Date, Seller shall maintain all casualty,
liability and hazard insurance currently in force with respect to the Property;
and
(c) Between
the Effective Date and the Closing Date, Seller shall lease, operate, manage and
enter into contracts with respect to the Property, in the same manner done by
Seller prior to the date hereof, maintaining present services and sufficient
supplies and equipment for the operation and maintenance of the Property in the
same manner as prior to the date hereof; provided, however, that Seller shall
not enter into any service contract that cannot be terminated within thirty (30)
days notice.
Page

Exhibit
10.1
(d) A copy of
each Lease presented to Seller between the Effective Date and the Closing Date
for its approval and execution will be submitted to Purchaser prior to execution
by Seller. Purchaser agrees to notify Seller in writing within five (5) business
days after its receipt of each such Lease of either its approval or disapproval
thereof, including all Tenant Inducement Costs and leasing commissions to be
incurred in connection therewith. In the event Purchaser informs Seller that
Purchaser does not approve any such Lease, which approval shall not be
unreasonably withheld, Seller shall have the option to cancel this Agreement by
written notice thereof to Purchaser within five (5) business days after Seller’s
receipt of written notice of Purchaser’s disapproval of any such Lease, and upon
refund and payment of the Xxxxxxx Money to Purchaser, neither party shall have
any further liability or obligation hereunder. In the event Purchaser fails to
notify Seller in writing of its approval or disapproval of any such Lease within
the five (5) day time period for such purpose set forth above, such failure
shall be deemed the approval by Purchaser of such Lease. At Closing, Purchaser
shall reimburse Seller for any Tenant Inducement Costs or leasing commissions
incurred by Seller pursuant to a new Lease approved (or deemed approved) by
Purchaser.
5.5 Actual Knowledge of
Seller. All references in this Agreement to the “actual knowledge” or
“knowledge” of Seller shall refer only to the actual knowledge of the Designated
Employee (as hereinafter defined) of the Dallas, Texas office of Seller and
shall not be construed to refer to the knowledge of any other officer, agent or
employee of Seller or any affiliate of Seller or to impose upon such Designated
Employee any duty to investigate the matter to which such actual knowledge, or
the absence thereof, pertains. As used herein, the term “Designated Employee”
shall refer to Xxxx Xxxxx, an employee of Seller who has responsibility for
overseeing the management of the Property, among other assets of
Seller.
5.6 Covenants of
Purchaser. Purchaser hereby covenants as follows:
(a) If
requested to do so by Seller in writing, upon termination of this Agreement
prior to Closing, Purchaser shall deliver to Seller copies of any environmental
reports, engineering reports, structural reports or other due diligence
materials prepared by third parties obtained by Purchaser with respect to the
Property.
(b) Purchaser
is currently in compliance with, and shall at all times during the term of this
Agreement (including any extension thereof) remain in compliance with, the
regulations of OFAC and any statute, executive order (including the September
24, 2001, Executive Order Blocking Property and Prohibiting Transactions with
Persons Who Commit, Threaten to Commit, or Support Terrorism), or other
governmental action relating thereto.
5.7 Tenant
Estoppels/SNDA. Seller shall use reasonable efforts to obtain an estoppel
certificate, in form substantially in accordance with Exhibit I
attached hereto and made a part hereof for all purposes as such form may be
modified to reflect the requirements under the tenant’s lease (the “Estoppel
Certificate”), and an SNDA in form substantially in accordance with Exhibit J
attached hereto and made a part hereof for all purposes, as such form may be
modified to reflect the requirements under the tenant’s lease (the “SNDA”),
executed by SunGard; provided, however, that if Seller is unable to procure such
Estoppel Certificate or SNDA, Purchaser may terminate this Agreement or may,
upon mutual agreement with Seller, extend the Closing Date to afford Seller
additional time to obtain such Estoppel Certificate and SNDA.

DEFAULT;
REMEDIES
6.1 Default of Purchaser.
In the event Purchaser fails to perform its obligations pursuant to this
Agreement for any reason except failure by Seller to perform hereunder or the
permitted termination hereof by Purchaser or Seller in accordance with the
express provisions hereof, Seller shall be entitled, as its sole remedy, to
terminate this Agreement and recover the Xxxxxxx Money as liquidated damages and
not as a penalty, in full satisfaction of claims against Purchaser hereunder.
Seller and Purchaser agree that Seller’s damages resulting from Purchaser’s
default are difficult, if not impossible, to determine and that the Xxxxxxx
Money is a fair estimate of those damages which has been agreed to in an effort
to cause the amount of said damages to be certain. In the event of Purchaser’s
default and notwithstanding anything in this Section 6.1 to the contrary,
Seller shall have all remedies available at law or in equity in the event
Purchaser or any party related to or affiliated with Purchaser is asserting any
claims or right to the Property that would otherwise delay or prevent Seller
from having clear, indefeasible and marketable title to the
Property.
6.2 Default of Seller. In
the event Seller fails to perform its obligations pursuant to this Agreement for
any reason except failure by Purchaser to perform hereunder or the permitted
termination hereof by Purchaser or Seller in accordance with the express
provisions hereof, Purchaser may terminate this Agreement by giving Seller
timely written notice of such election prior to or at Closing, in which event
Purchaser shall be entitled to receive back the Xxxxxxx Money (together with all
interest earned thereon). The remedy set forth in this Section 6.2 shall be
the sole and exclusive remedy available to Purchaser for Seller’s failure to
close the transaction which is the subject of this Agreement in accordance with
the provisions of this Agreement. Neither Seller nor Purchaser shall be entitled
to specific performance of this Agreement.
6.3 Post-Closing
Remedies. Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 6.1 and 6.2
above, in the event that after the termination of this Agreement or after
Closing, as the case may be, a party (the “Defaulting Party”) breaches an
obligation hereunder which is expressly stated herein to survive the termination
of this Agreement or Closing, as the case may be, the Defaulting Party shall be
liable to the other party (the “Non-Defaulting Party”) for the direct, actual
damages incurred by the Non-Defaulting Party as a direct result of such breach.
In no event shall the Non-Defaulting Party be entitled to recover from the
Defaulting Party any punitive, consequential or speculative
damages.
ARTICLE

RISK OF
LOSS
7.1 Minor Damage. In the
event of loss or damage to the Property or any portion thereof (the “premises in
question”) which is not “major” (as hereinafter defined), this Agreement shall
remain in full force and effect provided Seller performs any necessary repairs
or, at Seller’s option, assign to Purchaser all of Seller’s right, title and
interest to any claims and proceeds Seller may have with respect to any casualty
insurance policies plus any applicable deductibles or condemnation awards
relating to the premises in question. In the event that Seller elects to perform
repairs upon the Property, Seller shall use reasonable efforts to complete such
repairs promptly and the date of Closing shall be extended a reasonable time in
order to allow for the completion of such repairs.
7.2 Major Damage. In the
event of a “major” loss or damage, Purchaser may terminate this Agreement by
written notice to the other party, in which event the Xxxxxxx Money shall be
returned to Purchaser. If Purchaser does not elect to terminate this Agreement
within ten (10) days after Seller sends Purchaser written notice of the
occurrence of major loss or damage, then Seller and Purchaser shall be deemed to
have elected to proceed with Closing, in which event Seller shall, at Seller’s
option, either (a) perform any necessary repairs, or (b) assign to
Purchaser all of Seller’s right, title and interest to any claims and proceeds
Seller may have with respect to any casualty insurance policies plus any
applicable deductibles or condemnation awards relating to the premises in
question. In the event that Seller elects to perform repairs upon the Property,
Seller shall use reasonable efforts to complete such repairs promptly and the
date of Closing shall be extended a reasonable time in order to allow for the
completion of such repairs. Upon Closing, full risk of loss with respect to the
Property shall pass to Purchaser. For purposes of Sections 7.1 and 7.2,
“major” loss or damage refers to the following: (i) loss or damage to the
Property or any portion thereof such that the cost of repairing or restoring the
premises in question to a condition substantially identical to that of the
premises in question prior to the event of damage would be, in the certified
opinion of a mutually acceptable architect, equal to or greater than One Hundred
Thousand Dollars ($100,000); and (ii) any loss due to a condemnation which
permanently and materially impairs the current use of the Property.

limitation, the Property Documents). Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that all
materials, data and information delivered by Seller to Purchaser in connection

SUBSTANCES OR OTHER ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS ON THE PROPERTY BE REQUIRED AFTER
THE DATE OF CLOSING AS A RESULT OF THE INTRODUCTION OF A HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCE
ONTO THE PROPERTY OR THE OCCURRENCE OF AN ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITION AFTER THE DATE
OF CLOSING, SUCH CLEAN-UP, REMOVAL OR REMEDIATION SHALL BE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF
AND SHALL BE PERFORMED AT THE SOLE COST AND EXPENSE OF PURCHASER.

8.3 Effect and Survival of
Disclaimers. Seller has informed Purchaser that the compensation to be
paid to Seller for the Property has been decreased to take into account that the
Property is being sold subject to the provisions of this Article VIII.
Seller and Purchaser agree that the provisions of this Article VIII shall
survive Closing.
ARTICLE
IX
MISCELLANEOUS
9.1 Broker. Seller and
Purchaser represent each to the other that each has had no dealings with any
broker, finder or other party concerning Purchaser’s purchase of the Property
except CB Xxxxxxx Xxxxx (“Broker”). If (and only if) the transaction that is the
subject of this Agreement is consummated, Seller shall pay a commission to
Broker pursuant to a separate written agreement between Seller and Broker.
Seller and Purchaser each hereby agree to indemnify and hold the other harmless
from all loss, cost, damage or expense (including reasonable attorney’s fees)
incurred by the other as a result of any claim arising out of the acts of the
indemnifying party (or others on its behalf) for a commission, finder’s fee or
similar compensation made by any broker, finder or any party who claims to have
dealt with such party except Broker. The foregoing representations and
warranties contained in this Section shall survive the Closing. The Texas Real
Estate License Act requires written notice to Purchaser that it should have an
attorney examine an abstract of title to the property being purchased or obtain
a title insurance policy. Notice to that effect is, therefore, hereby given to
Purchaser.
9.2 ERISA. Purchaser
represents that Purchaser is not an employee benefit plan or a governmental plan
or a party in interest of either such a plan, and that the funds being used to
acquire the Property are not plan assets or subject to state laws regulating
investments of and fiduciary obligations with respect to a governmental plan. As
used herein, the terms “employee benefit plan,” “party in interest,” “plan
assets” and “governmental plan” shall have the respective meanings assigned to
such terms in ERISA, and the term “ERISA” shall mean the Employee Retirement
Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, and the regulations promulgated in
connection therewith. Upon the request of Seller, Purchaser shall deliver to
Seller at Closing a certificate stating that the foregoing representations are
true and correct and containing an agreement by Purchaser to indemnify Seller
against any inaccuracy in such representations. The foregoing covenants shall
survive Closing.
9.3 Assignability.
Purchaser may not assign its rights under this Agreement without the prior
written consent of Seller.
9.4 Confidentiality. The
information supplied to or made available to Purchaser by Seller pursuant to
this Agreement shall not be released or disclosed to any other parties unless
and until this transaction has closed without the prior written consent of
Seller. Seller shall not withhold its consent to disclosure of such information
to Purchaser’s attorney or to any prospective lender. In the event that this
transaction is not closed for any reason, then (a) Purchaser shall refrain,
and shall cause its agents, representatives and accountants to refrain, from
disclosing all such information to any other party, (b) Purchaser shall
promptly return to Seller any statements, documents, schedules, exhibits or
other written information obtained from Seller in connection with this Agreement
or the transaction contemplated herein, and (c) notwithstanding anything to
the contrary contained elsewhere in this Agreement, the covenant set forth in
the foregoing clauses (a) and (b) shall survive any termination of this
Agreement. It is understood and agreed that, with respect to any provision of
this Agreement which refers to the termination of this Agreement and the return
of the Xxxxxxx Money to Purchaser, such Xxxxxxx Money shall not be returned to
Purchaser unless and until Purchaser has fulfilled its obligation to return to
Seller the materials described in clause (b) of the preceding sentence. In the
event of a breach or threatened breach by Purchaser or its agents or
representatives of this Section 9.4, Seller shall be entitled to an
injunction restraining Purchaser or its agents or representatives from
disclosing, in whole or in part, such confidential information. Nothing herein
shall be construed as prohibiting Seller from pursuing any other available
remedy at law or in equity for such breach or threatened breach.
