Page 10

6. Inspection. During the term of this contract, without interfering
with normal operation of the Property, and subject to Purchaser providing prior
notice of inspection visits, Purchaser and its agents, engineers, surveyors,
appraisers, auditors and other representatives shall have the right, to enter
upon the Property to inspect, examine, survey, obtain engineering inspections,
appraise and otherwise do that which, in the opinion of Purchaser, is necessary
to determine the boundaries, acreage and condition of the Property and the
equipment and to determine the suitability of the Property for the uses intended
by Purchaser. Purchaser shall leave the Property in the same condition as
existed prior to any such entry, and shall indemnify and hold Seller harmless
from any loss, cost, expense, damage, or injury arising out of, or related to
such entry, provided the obligation herein shall survive closing or any
termination of this Contract, notwithstanding any liquidated damage provisions.
7. Conditions to Closing. The obligations of Purchaser hereunder are
subject to the truth and accuracy as of the date of closing of each and every
warranty or representation made herein by Seller. The Purchaser shall have
thirty (30) days from the date of acceptance of this Contract by Seller, to
inspect the Property, review the Tenant leases, and perform its due diligence in
connection with this Contract. Purchaser may terminate this Contract, in its
sole discretion, at any time prior to the thirty
Page 11
12
(30) days Seller has executed the Contract, with a full refund of all xxxxxxx
money previously placed with an Escrow agent.
8. Default and Remedies.
(a) Seller's Remedies. If Purchaser defaults under the terms of the
Contract, the xxxxxxx money together with interest earned thereon, if any, shall
be paid by the intermediary or escrow agent to Seller as liquidated damages as
Seller's sole remedy. The provisions herein contained for liquidated and
agreed-upon damages are bona fide provisions for such and are not a penalty, the
parties agreeing that by reason of Seller binding himself to the sale of the
Property and by reason of the withdrawal of the Property from sale at a time
when other parties would be interested in acquiring them, that Seller will have
sustained damages if Purchaser defaults, which damages will be substantial but
will not be capable of determination with mathematical precision. Therefore,
this provision for liquidated and agreed-upon damages has been incorporated in
this Contract as a provision beneficial to both parties, and upon such payment
by Escrow Agent to Seller, Seller and Purchaser release each other from any and
all claims, liabilities, damages, or causes of actions, known or unknown, it may
have against the other party, either in contract or tort, all for the purpose of
resolving any disputes which may exist between the parties.
(b) Purchaser's Remedies. In the event Seller should
Page 12
13
default in the performance of any of its covenants contained herein, Purchaser
shall have the option to declare this Contract null and void, or to seek
specific performance. In the event the Purchaser exercises its option to declare
the Contract voided, then all xxxxxxx monies, together with accrued interest
thereon, deposited hereunder shall be promptly returned to the Purchaser by
escrow agent. Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, in the event
Seller is unable to deliver the quality of title call for in the Contract, then
the sole remedy of Purchaser shall be to terminate the Contract and receive a
return of the xxxxxxx money, except for the following defects: (a) monetary
liens, or (b) changes in the status of title caused by Seller subsequent to the
date of the Contract; as to either of these defaults, specific performance is
also available.
9. Brokerage. Purchaser does hereby indemnify and agree to hold Seller
harmless from and against any and all claims, commissions, expenses and fees or
other charges, except for those agreed to in this paragraph, relating in any way
to this transaction, or the consummation thereof, which may be made by any
person, firm or entity as the result of any of Purchaser's acts or the acts of
Purchaser's representatives except as set out herein. Seller does hereby
indemnify and agree to hold Purchaser harmless from and against any and all
claims, commissions, expenses and fees or other charges, except for those agreed
to in
Page 13
14
this paragraph, relating in any way to this transaction, or the consummation
thereof, which may be made by any person, firm or entity as the result of any of
Seller's acts or the acts of their representatives except as set out herein.
This mutual indemnity shall survive the closing or any termination of the
Contract, notwithstanding any limitation on remedies set forth in paragraph 8.
Purchaser and Seller agree that no party has acted as a Real Estate Broker in
this transaction except Tribek Properties, Inc. (as "Seller's Broker"), and
Southwind Properties, Inc. (as "Purchaser's Broker"). As "Purchaser's Broker",
Southwind Properties, Inc., shall be paid a commission out of the proceeds of
the sale, at the closing of this transaction and according to the agreement
between Tribek Properties, Inc. and Southwind Properties, Inc.
10. Section 1031 Exchange. The Parties understand and agree that this
purchase by Purchaser is part of a IRS Code Section 1031 tax-free exchange.
Seller hereby agrees to cooperate and assist Purchaser in executing any and all
documents required by Purchaser to effectuate its Section 1031 tax-free
exchange, so long as said actions do not impose any additional expense or
liability upon Seller.
11. Notices. Ail notices and elections permitted or required to be made
under this Contract shall be in writing, signed by the party giving such notice
or election, and shall be
Page 14
15
delivered personally or sent by expedited delivery service (such as Federal
Express) or registered or certified mail to the other party hereto.
12. Indemnity. Seller indemnifies and holds the Purchaser harmless from
any liability arising out of incidents on the Property or involving any tenant
or contractor or materialman occurring prior to closing except where Purchaser,
its agents, or employees is responsible for, or contributes to such liability by
its or their action or inaction. Purchaser likewise indemnifies and holds Seller
harmless from any liability arising out of incidents on the Property or
involving any tenant or contractor or materialman occurring after closing except
where Seller is responsible, or contributes to such liability by its action or
inaction. This mutual indemnity shall survive the Closing, or any termination of
the Contract, notwithstanding any limitation or remedies set forth in paragraph
8.
13. Casualty and Condemnation.
(a) At the closing of the purchase and sale hereunder, Seller shall
deliver to Purchaser the improvements located on the Property in the same
condition as exists as of the date of this Contract, normal wear and tear
excepted. If said improvements or Equipment, or any material and substantial
portion thereof (i.e. 25% or more) is destroyed by fire or other casualty prior
to the closing hereunder, then, at the option of Purchaser
Page 15
16
(i) this Contract shall terminate whereupon no party hereto
shall have any further right, liabilities or obligations hereunder, or

Seller, at the time of closing hereunder, shall transfer and assign to Purchaser

to be exercisable by Purchaser by delivering to Seller written notice of such
exercise on or before the fifteenth (15th) day following the date on which
Purchaser receives from Seller written notice of such damage or destruction, but
in no event later than the date of closing hereunder.
(b) If, at any time prior to closing hereunder, any action or
proceeding is filed or threatened, under which the Property, or any material and
substantial portion thereof may be taken pursuant to any law, ordinance or
regulation or by condemnation or the right of eminent domain Purchaser may, at
its election, terminate this Contract and no party hereto shall have any further
rights, liabilities or obligations hereunder.
14. Term This Contract shall expire unless accepted by Seller, and
notice of acceptance is received by Purchaser at 5:00 o'clock p.m. Monday April
