Xxxxxx and XxXxxxx Xxxxxxx, as trustees, for the benefit of Metropolitan, as beneficiary. The Deed of Trust secures that certain loan (the “Metropolitan Loan”) made by Metropolitan to Boston Properties Limited Partnership (predecessor-in-interest to Seller) in the original principal amount of One Hundred Twenty One Million Eight Hundred Thousand Dollars ($121,800,000), which Metropolitan Loan is evidenced by that certain Promissory Note executed January 16, 1998 by Boston Properties Limited Partnership (predecessor-in-interest to Seller) in favor of Metropolitan, which Promissory Note was assigned to Seller by that certain Assignment and Assumption Agreement dated as of May 16, 2005 between and among Boston Properties Limited Partnership, Seller, Metropolitan and Xxxxx X. Xxxxxx and XxXxxxx Xxxxxxx, as trustees, and which Promissory Note was modified and restated by that certain Modification and Restatement of Promissory Note, made as of May 16, 2005 by Seller and Metropolitan, the outstanding principal amount of which is $135,900,000 as of October 1, 2006 (the “Note”). At Closing, the Property shall be transferred to Purchaser subject to the Deed of Trust. It shall be a condition to Closing that prior thereto Metropolitan shall have consented (the “Metropolitan Consent”) to (a) the transfer of the Property by Seller to Purchaser (or its assignee) and to Purchaser’s (or its assignee’s) assumption of the obligations of Seller first arising as of the Closing Date under the Metropolitan Loan Documents (as defined in Section 6.1.9), subject to any non-recourse provisions contained in the Metropolitan Loan Documents, but without any requirement for any modifications thereto other than (x) certain changes to the permitted entity transfer provisions permitting internal transfers of direct and indirect interests in Purchaser, as required by Purchaser, and (y) the waiver of any requirement by Metropolitan for any Liable Party (as defined in the Deed of Trust), other than Purchaser, in connection with the Metropolitan Loan, and (b) the release of Seller from all liability arising under the Metropolitan Loan Documents after Closing, such consents and release to be evidenced by an agreement to be executed and delivered at Closing among Purchaser, Seller and Metropolitan (the “Loan Assumption Agreement”). Purchaser and Seller (at no cost to Seller other than the administrative costs associated with providing information) shall provide Metropolitan with such information as it may require in connection with providing the Metropolitan Consent, Purchaser hereby confirming that it has provided Metropolitan with all such information requested by Metropolitan from Purchaser prior to the date hereof. At all times Purchaser shall use its commercially reasonable efforts and act in good faith to obtain the modifications set forth in clause (a) and the release set forth in clause (b) of this Section 2.1.2.

2.1.3 At least one Business Day prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall provide Purchaser with a letter issued by Metropolitan, which letter shall set forth as of the Closing Date the outstanding principal balance of the Metropolitan Loan, together with any accrued but unpaid interest thereon, if any (collectively, the “Metropolitan Amount”), and the amount of the actual “Prepayment Fee” (as such term is defined in the Note).

Prior to making the Deposit, Seller, Purchaser and the Escrow Agent shall enter into an escrow agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit D attached hereto (the “Escrow Agreement”).

5.4.1 Except as provided in the express representations and warranties of Seller set forth in Article 6 and in any other express provision in this Agreement to the contrary, and except for the warranty set forth in the Deed (the “Express Representations”), Seller does not, by the execution and delivery of this Agreement, and Seller shall not, by the execution and delivery of any document or instrument executed and delivered in connection with Closing, make any representation or warranty, express or implied, of any kind or nature whatsoever, with respect to the Property, and all such warranties are hereby disclaimed.

ARTICLE 7 COVENANTS OF SELLER PRIOR TO CLOSING.

7.1 Operation of Property. From the Effective Date until the Closing, Seller shall operate the Property in accordance with the terms of this Section 7.1.

7.1.1 From the Effective Date until the Closing, Seller shall continue to operate, maintain and repair the Property in the ordinary course of business and in the same manner as Seller has maintained and operated the Property in the past twelve (12) months, but shall not take any of the following actions after the Effective Date without the prior written consent of Purchaser, which consent (i) prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period, shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, and (ii) after the expiration of the Inspection Period may be withheld, conditioned or denied in Purchaser’s sole and absolute discretion: (a) make or permit to be made any material alterations to or upon the Property, (b) enter into any contracts for the provision of services and/or supplies to the Property which are not terminable by Purchaser upon thirty (30) days’ prior written notice following the Closing, or amend or modify the Contracts in any manner, unless such Contract as amended may be terminated upon thirty (30) days’ prior written notice, (c) enter into any leases with respect to the Property or any part thereof, or extend, modify, cancel or otherwise alter any one or more of the Leases, (d) reduce or change in any material respect the level of maintenance to the Property, or (e) alter or amend the zoning classification of the Improvements. If Closing does not occur within forty-five (45) days after the Scheduled Closing Date as a result of (i) the failure of the condition precedent to Closing set forth in Section 8.1.1, (ii) the occurrence of a casualty at the Property, or (iii) a dispute between Seller and Purchaser, then notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 7.1.1, without the consent of Purchaser (1) Seller may make material alterations at the Property if required by a Lease or if needed to maintain the Property in good repair and condition or to restore a casualty; (2) Seller may renew a Contract or enter into contracts for the provision of services and/or supplies to the Property so long as such contracts are on commercially reasonable terms and conditions and are terminable by Purchaser upon thirty (30) days’ prior written notice following the Closing, and (3) Seller may enter into new leases with respect to the Property or any part thereof on then market terms, or extend one or more of the Leases on market terms, provided that such market terms shall be subject to Purchaser’s consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. Purchaser shall notify Seller of whether Purchaser consents to such market terms within ten (10) days after Purchaser has received a request for such consent from Seller. If Purchaser fails to notify Seller of whether Purchaser consents to such market terms within said ten (10) day period, such consent will be deemed granted. With respect to clause (3) of this Section 7.1.1, if Purchaser withholds, delays or conditions its consent to a new lease or an extension of the term of an expiring Lease, and Seller believes such refusal, delay or conditioning of consent was unreasonable, then Seller can institute an expedited arbitration proceeding pursuant to the provisions of Exhibit L attached hereto (an “Expedited Arbitration”), and if the arbitrator determines in such proceeding in favor of Seller, then Purchaser shall reimburse Seller for the economic loss incurred by Seller due to Purchaser’s failure to consent to such leases or extensions.

7.1.2 Seller shall have no obligation to Purchaser to (a) bring the Property into compliance with any laws or regulations applicable to the Property, (b) make any repairs or improvements to any portion of the Property that would improve the condition of the Property beyond the condition of the Property as it exists on the Effective Date, or (c) make or perform, during the term of this Agreement, any capital repairs or replacements unless necessary to comply with the provisions of Section 7.1.1.

7.1.3 Prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period, Purchaser shall determine which service agreements and other contracts are terminable and, among those, which Purchaser elects to have Seller terminate, and Seller will deliver notices of termination at Closing canceling such agreements if Purchaser gives Seller notice of such decision three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date. At Closing, Seller shall assign to Purchaser, and Purchaser shall assume, only the Contracts identified on Exhibit C hereto pursuant to the Xxxx of Sale and Assignment and Assumption Agreement.

7.2 Governmental Notices. Promptly after receipt, Seller shall provide Purchaser with copies of any written notices that Seller receives with respect to (i) any condemnation or eminent domain proceedings affecting the Property; or (ii) any violation of any Environmental Law or any zoning, health, fire, safety or other law, regulation or code applicable to the Property.

7.4 Insurance. Prior to Closing, Seller will maintain Seller’s existing insurance coverage with respect to the Property.

7.5 Estoppel Certificates. Seller shall endeavor to obtain and deliver to Purchaser as soon as possible, but in all events not later than one (1) Business Day prior to the Closing Date, an estoppel certificate in substantially the form of Exhibit E-1 attached hereto from each tenant at the Property or in the form required by each tenant’s lease if such form is delivered to Seller by such tenant (provided that Seller shall initially submit to each tenant an estoppel certificate in the form of said Exhibit E-1 or in such other form as Purchaser may reasonably approve, Purchaser hereby acknowledging that Purchaser has approved a form other than the form of said Exhibit E-1 with respect to the Major Listed Tenants (as hereafter defined), and Seller shall request that each such tenant sign and return such certificate in such form) (collectively, the “Lease Certificates”). Seller’s obligation to endeavor to obtain Lease Certificates from all tenants shall include making requests therefor but shall not include the payment of any money, issuance of any default notices or any other action by Seller. As used in this Agreement, the term “Major Listed Tenants” shall mean each of Hunton & Xxxxxxxx LLP; Wachovia Securities Financial Holdings, LLC trading as Wachovia Bank, N.A.; XxXxxxx Xxxx; Commonwealth of Virginia, Department of Economic Development; UBS Financial, Inc.; Xxxx, Xxxxx LLP; and Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Company, Inc.; and Deloitte & Touche USA LLP.

7.6 Withholding.

7.6.1 Prior to Closing, Seller intends to file a Form 0000-X, XXXXXX Withholding Certificate (the “FIRPTA Certificate”) in the form required by the Internal Revenue Service, a copy of which shall be provided to Purchaser. The FIRPTA Certificate will indicate the taxable gain, if any, that Seller will recognize upon the sale of the Property to Purchaser and the tax liability amount required to be paid to the Internal Revenue Service in connection therewith (the “Certificate Tax Amount”).

7.6.2 In the event that Seller obtains approval by the Internal Revenue Service of the FIRPTA Certificate prior to Closing, Seller shall provide a copy of the approved FIRPTA Certificate to Purchaser and Purchaser shall withhold such amount as may be approved by the Internal Revenue Service and remit such amount to the Internal Revenue Service in accordance with its obligations set forth in Section 1461 of the Internal Revenue Code.

7.6.3 In the event that Seller has not obtained a FIRPTA Certificate approved by the Internal Revenue Service prior to closing and delivered such approved FIRPTA Certificate to Purchaser, then pursuant to Section 4.01 of Revenue Procedure 2000-35, 2000-2 CB 211 (August 9, 2000) and the filing of such FIRPTA Certificate with the Internal Revenue Service prior to the date of sale, Purchaser is required to withhold from the sales proceeds ten percent (10%) of the gross sales proceeds derived from the sale of the Property, but is not required to pay such withheld amounts to the Internal Revenue Service pending approval of said FIRPTA Certificate by the Internal Revenue Service. Accordingly, in the event that the circumstances described in the immediately preceding sentence apply, Seller and Purchaser agree that Purchaser shall withhold ten percent (10%) of the gross sales proceeds (the “Withholding Escrowed Funds”), from the Purchase Price and pay the Withholding Escrowed Funds to the Escrow Agent, acting as withholding escrow agent (“Withholding Escrow Agent”) to hold pending approval of the FIRPTA Certificate by the Internal Revenue Service. Upon such approval of the FIRPTA Certificate by the Internal Revenue Service, Seller will cause a copy of such approval to be delivered to Purchaser, and Seller and Purchaser shall direct Withholding Escrow Agent to apply the Withholding Escrowed Funds to pay such approved tax liability (the “Final Tax Liability”) within twenty (20) days after the date of such approval. If either Seller or Purchaser fails to join in such direction to Withholding Escrow Agent within said twenty (20) day period, then, after the expiration of said twenty (20) day period, either party may unilaterally direct Withholding Escrow Agent to apply the Withholding Escrowed Funds to pay the Final Tax Liability. If the Final Tax Liability is greater than the Withholding Escrowed Funds, then Seller shall promptly pay such deficiency to the Withholding Escrow Agent for payment to the Internal Revenue Service. If the Final Tax Liability is less than the Withholding Escrowed Funds, then the Withholding Agent shall promptly pay the excess to Seller, together with the interest or income earned on the Withholding Escrowed Funds. It is anticipated that the Final Tax Liability will approximate the Certificate Tax Amount.

7.6.4 Seller shall file or cause to be filed any and all tax returns, information returns or any other required filings in connection with the transfer on or before the due date, including any extension of time to file, of such returns with the Internal Revenue Service and timely pay any and all tax liabilities associated therewith. Seller hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Purchaser from and against any and all losses, liabilities, claims, damages, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees, interest and penalties)

incurred or realized by Purchaser and relating to the payment to the Internal Revenue Service of any such withholding tax due upon the sale of the Property by Seller to Purchaser, which obligation shall not be limited by time or amount by any provision of this Agreement; provided, however, that the foregoing indemnity shall not apply to any and all losses, liabilities, claims, damages, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees, interest and penalties) incurred or realized by Purchaser due to Purchaser’s failure to follow the procedures prescribed by the Internal Revenue Code with respect to amounts that have been withheld and are to be remitted to the Internal Revenue Service pursuant to Section 7.6.2 of this Agreement.

7.6.5 In the event that the circumstances described in the first sentence of Section 7.6.3 apply, each of Seller and Purchaser agrees to execute and deliver at the Closing an escrow agreement with Withholding Escrow Agent, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit M (the “Withholding Escrow Agreement”). Such escrow agreement shall provide for the investment of the Withholding Escrowed Funds in designated investments or accounts available to the Withholding Escrow Agent and approved by Seller, and all interest or other income earned thereon shall be added to and deemed a part of the Withholding Escrowed Funds. Seller will pay all costs and expenses relating to the escrow account established pursuant to this Section 7.6.

7.6.6 In the event that a FIRPTA Certificate is not filed in accordance with this Section 7.6 prior to Closing, Purchaser shall withhold ten percent (10%) of the gross sales proceeds from the Purchase Price and remit such amount to the Internal Revenue Service in accordance with its obligations set forth in Section 1461 of the Internal Revenue Code.

7.6.7 The provisions of this Section 7.6 shall survive the Closing.

A final examination of the title to the Real Property shall disclose no title exceptions except for the Permitted Exceptions (and Additional Permitted Exceptions, if any), matters caused by Purchaser or its activities on the Property, or other matters approved in writing by Purchaser.

In addition, the title insurance company conducting the title examination shall be prepared to issue to Purchaser, at standard rates, an ALTA Form B (1992) owner’s title insurance policy in the amount of the Purchase Price, insuring that the fee simple estate to the Property is vested in Purchaser, subject only to the Permitted Exceptions (and Additional Permitted Exceptions, if any), matters caused by Purchaser or its activities on the Property, or other matters approved in writing by Purchaser.

8.1.2 Required Estoppels. At least one (1) Business Day prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall have obtained and delivered to Purchaser a Lease Certificate duly executed by or on behalf of, (a) Wachovia Securities Financial Holdings, LLC trading as Wachovia Bank,

N.A., Hunton & Xxxxxxxx LLP and XxXxxxx Xxxx, and (b) other tenants under Leases at the Property covering fifty percent (50%) of the remaining rentable office and retail square footage of the Improvements that are subject to Leases as of the Closing, exclusive of the rentable office and retail square footage leased to the tenants set forth in clause (a) of this Section 8.1.2, (i.e., said 50% being equal to 109,781 rentable square feet) (collectively, the “Required Estoppels”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Purchaser shall not be obligated to accept any Lease Certificate as satisfying the requirements of this Section 8.1.2 (an “Unacceptable Lease Certificate”) which discloses any materially adverse matters that are not disclosed in Seller’s representations and warranties hereunder or in the applicable Leases, and if such Lease Certificate is deemed to be an Unacceptable Lease Certificate, the same shall not apply to the satisfaction of the condition to Closing set forth in this Section 8.1.2; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not limit Seller’s right to deliver a Seller’s Estoppel Statement pursuant to Section 8.3.2 of this Agreement in lieu of any Unacceptable Lease Certificate. In any Lease Certificate, other than any Lease Certificate relating to a Major Listed Tenant, any omission, qualification or limitation of or to the statement set forth in paragraph 17 of the form of certificate attached as Exhibit E-1, shall not cause a Lease Certificate to be deemed an Unacceptable Lease Certificate.

8.1.3 Delivery of Closing Documents. Seller shall have delivered each of the Closing Documents required to be delivered under Section 9.2.1 of this Agreement.

8.1.4 Covenants. Seller shall have performed and observed, in all material respects , all covenants of Seller under this Agreement.

8.1.5 Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties of Seller set forth in this Agreement shall be true and correct in all material respects as of the Closing Date.

8.1.6 Metropolitan Consent. The Metropolitan Consent shall have been obtained, and Purchaser, Seller and Metropolitan shall have agreed upon the terms and conditions of the Loan Assumption Agreement in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.1.2.

8.2 Conditions Precedent to Seller’s Obligation to Close. Seller’s obligation to sell the Property is subject to satisfaction, on or before the Closing Date (as such date may be extended as provided herein) of the following conditions, any of which may be waived in writing by Seller, in Seller’s sole and absolute discretion:

8.2.1 Covenants. Purchaser shall have performed and observed, in all material respects, all covenants of Purchaser under this Agreement.

8.2.2 Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties of Purchaser set forth in this Agreement shall be true and correct in all material respects as if made on the Closing Date.

8.3 Failure of a Condition.

8.3.1 In the event that any condition precedent to Closing has not been satisfied on or before the Closing Date, then the party whose conditions to Closing have not been satisfied (the “Unsatisfied Party”) shall give notice to the other party of the condition or conditions which the Unsatisfied Party asserts are not satisfied, and the Closing shall be extended for up to ten (10) Business Days to permit the satisfaction of any such unsatisfied conditions. If the conditions specified in such notice are not satisfied within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of such notice, then either party may terminate this Agreement, whereupon the Deposit shall be promptly refunded to Purchaser and thereafter neither party shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder (other than any obligations of either party that expressly survive termination), except if such failure of a condition is due to a default by one of the parties, in which event the non-defaulting party shall have those rights and remedies set forth in Article 11. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, if any of the conditions precedent to Purchaser’s obligation to close, as set forth in Section 8.1 hereof, are not satisfied within the ten (10) Business Day period specified above and the same are reasonably susceptible of being cured, Seller shall have the right to extend such period in which to satisfy the unsatisfied condition for a period of up to thirty (30) additional days, by giving notice thereof to Purchaser within such ten (10) Business Day period. It is understood and agreed that the failure of any condition set forth in Section 8.1.1 hereof (Title) that is not reasonably susceptible of being cured within the time allotted shall not constitute a default, breach of a covenant or other failure to perform by Seller hereunder unless such failure was caused by an act or omission of Seller.

8.3.2 If one or more of the Required Estoppels are not obtained and delivered pursuant to the condition set forth in Section 8.1.2 hereof (or as otherwise specifically provided in Section 8.1.2) and such condition remains unsatisfied after the passage of the cure periods set forth in Section 8.3.1 above, then Seller shall have the right, but not the obligation, to deliver to Purchaser a certificate in the form of Exhibit E-2 attached hereto (a “Seller’s Estoppel Statement”) executed by Seller in place of such Required Estoppel(s) that Seller is unable to obtain in satisfaction of such condition, the representations and warranties of which shall survive the Closing for a period of six (6) months; provided that, if Seller elects to deliver any such Seller estoppel with respect to a Named Required Tenant, Purchaser shall have the right, in Purchaser’s discretion, to (a) accept such Seller estoppel in satisfaction of such closing condition and proceed to Closing, or (b) reject such Seller estoppel, in which event the condition set forth in Section 8.3.1 will be deemed not to have been satisfied with respect to such Named Required Tenant and Purchaser shall have the right to terminate this Agreement, whereupon the Deposit shall be promptly refunded to Purchaser and thereafter neither party shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder (other than any obligations of either party that expressly survive termination). If Seller provides a Seller estoppel pursuant to this Section 8.3.2, then Seller shall have the right at any time to substitute a Lease Certificate which is subsequently obtained from the tenant or tenants, and which satisfies the requirements of Section 8.1.2 above, in replacement of the corresponding Seller’s estoppel previously delivered by Seller. As used herein, “Named Required Tenant” shall mean each of Wachovia Bank, N.A. (Wachovia Securities), Hunton & Xxxxxxxx LLP and XxXxxxx Xxxx.

8.3.3 If the transaction contemplated by this Agreement closes, the parties shall be deemed to have waived any and all unmet or unsatisfied conditions, other than any unmet or

unsatisfied conditions arising out of a breach by either party of any of its representations and warranties hereunder of which the other party has no knowledge as of Closing.

8.4 Representations and Warranties.

8.4.1 All representations and warranties of Seller set forth in this Agreement shall be true and correct in all material respects as of the Closing Date and shall be updated and remade at Closing by delivery of a certificate of representations and warranties, subject to changes not willfully caused by Seller (e.g., a notice of condemnation) and changes in the ordinary course of business, including, but not limited to, changes as a result of leases, lease terminations, amendments and other occupancy agreements which may be entered into by Seller pursuant to Section 7.1 hereof.

8.4.2 If any of Seller’s representations or warranties set forth in Section 6.1 hereof is not true and correct in all material respects as of the Closing Date, Purchaser shall notify Seller of such inaccuracy and shall include in such notice (the “Section 8.4.2 Notice”) an estimate of an amount determined by Purchaser in good faith to compensate Purchaser for any loss or damage to Purchaser resulting from such representation or warranty being untrue (such amount, the “Appropriate Compensation Amount”). Promptly following receipt of such Section 8.4.2 Notice (and in all events prior to Closing), Seller shall notify Purchaser whether Seller, in its sole discretion, elects to compensate the Purchaser for all loss or damage to Purchaser resulting from such representation or warranty being untrue (an “Election to Compensate”). If Seller exercises its Election to Compensate, Seller and Purchaser shall use good faith efforts to agree on the Appropriate Compensation Amount, and, if they are unable to so agree within five (5) Business Days after Seller’s notification of its Election to Compensate, the dispute shall be referred for determination by Expedited Arbitration, and any amount not in dispute shall be promptly paid by Seller to Purchaser. In no event shall the Closing be delayed on account of (a) Purchaser’s delivery of the Section 8.4.2 Notice, (b) Seller’s delivery of its Election to Compensate (provided the same is timely delivered prior to Closing), (c) any failure to reach agreement on the Appropriate Compensation Amount or (d) any referral of such dispute to Expedited Arbitration. In the event that Closing occurs and Seller and Purchaser have not yet agreed upon the Appropriate Compensation Amount, then, upon the earlier of agreement by Seller and Purchaser on the Appropriate Compensation Amount or final determination of same by Expedited Arbitration, Seller and Purchaser shall jointly direct Escrow Agent to pay Purchaser the Appropriate Compensation Amount (less any amount previously remitted by Seller to Purchaser on account thereof) from the Post Closing Escrow. To the extent the Post Closing Escrow is, in Purchaser’s reasonable opinion, insufficient at Closing to cover the likely extent of the Appropriate Compensation Amount and all other post-Closing obligations of Seller under this Agreement (including, without limitation, under Sections 9.5 and 11.1.2 and Article 12), Seller shall deposit into the Post Closing Escrow additional sums to make the Post Closing Escrow so sufficient, such sufficiency to be determined by Expedited Arbitration in the event of dispute.

8.4.3 If, after receipt of such Section 8.4.2 Notice, Seller fails to notify Purchaser of its Election to Compensate prior to the Closing or Seller notifies Purchaser that Seller elects not to exercise its Election to Compensate, Purchaser shall have the right, in its sole discretion, either to (i) terminate this Agreement, whereupon the Deposit shall be promptly

refunded to Purchaser and thereafter neither party shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder (other than any obligations of either party that expressly survive termination and, in the case of any deliberate and intentional act of Seller that causes such breach of Seller’s representations or warranties, subject to Purchaser’s right to reimbursement of its actual third-party out of pocket costs and expenses pursuant to Section 11.1.1 of this Agreement), or (ii) proceed to Closing.

8.4.4 All representations and warranties of Seller set forth in this Agreement shall survive Closing for a period of six (6) months after Closing. In the event that after Closing but within such 6-month period Purchaser discovers a breach of Seller’s representations and warranties set forth herein, Purchaser’s sole rights and remedies with respect to such breach of Seller’s representations and warranties shall be as set forth in Section 11.1 hereof.

8.4.5 The provisions of this Section 8.4 shall survive Closing.

The current installment of all special assessments, if any, which are a lien against the Property at the time of Closing and which are being or may be paid in installments shall be prorated as of the Apportionment Time. As used herein, the term “Apportionment Time” shall mean 11:59 p.m. local New York, NY time on the date immediately prior to the Closing Date.

9.5.3 Fixed Rents and Additional Rents.

a) To the extent that Seller or Purchaser receives Rents under any Lease after the Closing Date, the same shall be held in trust by Seller or Purchaser, as the case may be, and shall be applied in accordance with this Section 9.5.3.

b) Fixed rents paid or payable by tenants under Leases (collectively, “Fixed Rents”) shall be adjusted and prorated, as of the Apportionment Time, on an as, if and when collected basis. Any Fixed Rents collected by Purchaser or

Seller after the Closing from any tenant who owes Fixed Rents for the period during which Closing occurs or for periods prior to the Closing shall be applied first, in payment of Fixed Rents owed by such tenant for the month in which the Closing occurs [and, if, and only if, the Closing occurs within the first ten days of a calendar month, the immediately preceding month]; second, in payment of Fixed Rents owed by such tenant for the period after the month in which the Closing occurs through the end of the month in which such amount is collected; and third, after Fixed Rents for all current periods have been paid in full, in payment of Fixed Rents owed by such tenant for the period prior to the month immediately preceding the month in which the Closing occurs. Each such amount, less any out-of-pocket third party costs of collection (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) reasonably allocable thereto, shall be adjusted and prorated as provided above, and the party who receives any such amount shall promptly pay over to the other party any portion thereof to which it is so entitled. Set forth on Schedule 9.5.3 is a list of all delinquent rents and other outstanding amounts due Seller under the Leases as of the date hereof. Any Fixed Rents received by Seller after the Closing from any tenant who is not delinquent with respect to Fixed Rents as of the Closing shall belong solely to Purchaser and shall be promptly paid by Seller to Purchaser.

c) Purchaser shall xxxx tenants who owe Fixed Rents and “Operating Expense Recoveries” (as defined below) (collectively, “Rents”) for the applicable period during which the Closing occurs and for periods prior to the Closing on a monthly basis for a period of twelve (12) consecutive months following the Closing, provided, however, that Purchaser shall have no obligation to commence any action or proceeding or to make any out-of-pocket expenditure (other than de minimis items such as postage, telephone charges and similar items) to collect any such past due Rents. Notwithstanding Purchaser’s good faith compliance with the provisions of the immediately preceding sentence, if Purchaser does not collect such past due Rents, Seller shall have the right, upon prior written notice to Purchaser, to commence proceedings to collect such delinquencies, provided that (i) Seller shall not be entitled to pursue any Lease termination, dispossess, eviction or similar proceedings against any such tenant and (ii) the sole remedy which may be sought by Seller against any such tenant is money damages. Any payment by a tenant to Purchaser after the Closing Date in an amount less than the full amount of Rents then due and payable by such tenant shall be applied first to Fixed Rents (in the order of priority as to time periods as is set forth in Section 9.5.3(b)) to the extent of all such Fixed Rents that are then due and payable by such tenant, and thereafter to Operating Expense Recoveries (in accordance with the provisions set forth in Sections 9.5.3(d) below).

d) At least three (3) Business Days prior to Closing, Seller will prepare and submit to Purchaser an estimated reconciliation as of the Apportionment Time of the amounts of all xxxxxxxx and charges for taxes, insurance charges and other operating expenses owed by the tenants under the Leases, taking into account all applicable base years, expense stops, caps or

similar matters specified under the Leases (collectively, “Operating Expense Recoveries”), for calendar year 2006. If less amounts have been collected from tenants for Operating Expense Recoveries for calendar year 2006 than would have been owed by tenants under the Leases if the reconciliations under such Leases were completed as of the Apportionment Time based on the taxes, insurance charges and other operating expenses incurred by Seller for calendar year 2006 up to the Apportionment Time, Purchaser will pay such difference to Seller at Closing as an addition to the Purchase Price. If more amounts have been collected from tenants for Operating Expense Recoveries for calendar year 2006 than would have been owed by tenants under the Leases if the reconciliations under such Leases were completed as of the Apportionment Time based on the taxes, insurance charges and other operating expenses incurred by Seller for calendar year 2006 up to the Apportionment Time, Seller will pay to Purchaser at Closing as a credit against the Purchase Price such excess collected amount.

9.5.4 Utilities. Water, sewer, electric and other utility charges, other than those for which tenants under Leases are responsible directly to the provider, shall be prorated as of the Apportionment Time. If consumption of any of the foregoing is measured by meter, Seller shall, prior to the Closing Date, endeavor to obtain a reading of each such meter and a final xxxx as of the Closing Date. If there is no such meter or if the xxxx for any of the foregoing will not have been issued as of the Closing Date, the charges therefor shall be adjusted as of the Apportionment Time on the basis of the charges of the prior period for which such bills were issued and shall be further adjusted between the parties when the bills for the correct period are issued. Seller and Purchaser shall cooperate to cause the transfer of utility accounts from Seller to Purchaser. Seller shall be entitled to retain any utility security deposits to be refunded. At Closing, Purchaser shall post substitute utility security deposits to replace those previously paid by Seller or, if the utility provider will not refund such deposits to Seller, Seller shall be reimbursed therefor by Purchaser at Closing provided the utility provider recognizes the security deposit to be thereafter held for the account of Purchaser or the Property.

9.5.5 Insurance Policies. Premiums on insurance policies will not be adjusted. As of the Closing Date, Seller will terminate its insurance coverage and Purchaser will effect its own insurance coverage.

9.5.6 Leasing Commissions and Tenant Allowances. Seller shall be solely responsible for the payment of the leasing commissions and tenant allowance obligations that are identified on Exhibit B-2 and/or Schedules 9.5.6-1 and 9.5.6-2 attached hereto. To the extent that any such items identified on said Exhibit B-2 or Schedule 9.5.6-1 remain unpaid as of Closing, Seller shall pay to Purchaser, as a credit against the Purchase Price, the unpaid balance of all such items, and Purchaser shall then be responsible for the payment of all such items from and after Closing. Except as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, Purchaser shall not be entitled to any credit against or reduction of the Purchase Price for any other leasing commissions or tenant allowances. At Closing, Seller, at Seller’s election, shall either (i) assign and turn over to Purchaser the escrow account containing the amounts listed in the “Outstanding Balance” column set forth on Schedule 9.5.6-2 attached hereto for payment by Purchaser of the leasing commissions and tenant allowance obligations identified on such Schedule 9.5.6-2, or (ii)

in lieu of the assignment contemplated by clause (i) of this sentence, grant Purchaser a credit against the Purchase Price equal to the amounts listed in the “Outstanding Balance” column set forth on Schedule 9.5.6-2.

9.5.7 Security Deposits. Seller shall pay to Purchaser, as a credit against the Purchase Price, the amount of any security deposits actually received by Seller pursuant to the Leases and not yet refunded to tenants or applied against tenant defaults as permitted pursuant to the Leases; provided, however, with respect to any security deposits which are other than cash, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser at the Closing the original documentation related thereto and if held in the form of a letter of credit, Seller shall deliver the original of such letter of credit and Seller shall cooperate with Purchaser to cause such letter of credit to be reissued in Purchaser’s name or transferred to Purchaser on the Closing Date. Further, Seller agrees to transfer to Purchaser all of Seller’s right, title and interest in and to the escrow account established pursuant to that certain Escrow Agreement by and between Boston Properties Limited Partnership, as Landlord, and Xxxxxxx Xxxx, a Professional Corporation, as Tenant, and Lawyers Title Insurance Corporation as Escrow Agent, dated September 20, 2004. Purchaser agrees to indemnify, hold harmless and defend Seller from and against any and all obligations, liabilities, costs and claims (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) suffered or incurred by Seller on account of the misapplication or misappropriation on or after Closing of any security deposits so credited or transferred.

9.5.8 Other Income and Expenses. All other income and ordinary operating expenses for or pertaining to the Property, including, but not limited to, public utility charges, maintenance, service charges, and license fees, will be prorated as of the Apportionment Time.

9.5.9 Preliminary Closing Statement. The preliminary estimated Closing prorations contemplated by this Section 9.5 shall be prepared by Seller and submitted to Purchaser for review and approval at least three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date. Purchaser and its representatives shall be afforded reasonable access to Seller’s books and records with respect to back-up evidence and Seller’s work papers directly pertaining to such preliminary prorations to confirm the accuracy thereof. Such prorations, once agreed upon by Purchaser and Seller, shall be delivered to the Escrow Agent for purposes of making the preliminary proration adjustments at Closing, subject to the final post-Closing adjustments provided for below. The preliminary proration shall be paid at Closing by Purchaser to Seller (if the preliminary prorations result in a net credit to Seller) or by Seller to Purchaser (if the preliminary prorations result in a net credit to Purchaser) by increasing or reducing the cash to be delivered by Purchaser in payment of the remaining portion of the Purchase Price at the Closing.

9.5.10 Post-Closing Adjustment. All adjustments for items to be prorated pursuant to Section 9.5 shall be done at Closing if known, and if not known, shall be completed within one hundred eighty (180) days after the Closing Date.

9.5.11 Survival. The provisions of this Section 9.5 shall survive Closing.

ARTICLE 10 DAMAGE AND CONDEMNATION

10.1 Damage. If, prior to the Closing, all or any portion of the Property is damaged by fire or any other cause whatsoever, Seller shall promptly give Purchaser written notice of such damage.

10.1.1 Minor Damage. If (a) the cost for repairing such damage is less than Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) (as determined by an architect or contractor selected by Seller and reasonably acceptable to Purchaser), (b) no Named Required Tenant shall exercise its right to terminate its respective Lease in connection with any such damage, and (c) Purchaser receives reasonably satisfactory evidence that the insurer under Seller’s existing and in force insurance policies does not contest that the damage in question is covered by the applicable insurance policy(ies) and has agreed to the estimate of the cost of repairing such damage as determined pursuant to clause (a) above (any such damage satisfying the requirements of clauses (a), (b) and (c), a “Minor Damage”), then Purchaser shall have the right at Closing to receive as a credit against the Purchase Price the amount of the deductible(s) of such applicable insurance policy (policies), plus all insurance proceeds (including all proceeds of rent loss or business interruption insurance to the extent attributable to periods on and after the Closing) received by Seller as a result of such loss, and an assignment of Seller’s rights to such insurance proceeds, and this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect with no other reduction in the Purchase Price, and Seller shall have no further liability or obligation to repair such damage or to replace the Property.

10.1.2 Major Damage. If the damage does not constitute a Minor Damage, then Purchaser shall have the option, exercisable by written notice delivered to Seller within twenty (20) days (the “20 Day Period”) after Seller’s notice of damage to Purchaser (which notice shall be accompanied by an estimate of the cost to repair such damage, as determined by an architect or contractor selected by Seller and reasonably acceptable to Purchaser), either (i) to receive the amount of the deductible(s) of such applicable insurance policy (policies) plus all insurance proceeds (including all proceeds of rent loss or business interruption insurance to the extent attributable to periods on and after the Closing) received by Seller as a result of such loss, and an assignment of Seller’s rights to such insurance proceeds, and this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect with no reduction in the Purchase Price, and Seller shall have no further liability or obligation to repair such damage or to replace the Property; or (ii) to terminate this Agreement. If Purchaser elects to terminate this Agreement, Purchaser shall give notice to Seller thereof within the 20 Day Period, the Deposit shall be returned to Purchaser, and thereafter neither party will have any further rights or obligations hereunder, except for any obligations that expressly survive termination. If Purchaser fails to notify Seller within the 20 Day Period of Purchaser’s intention to terminate this Agreement, then Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected option (ii).

10.2 Condemnation and Eminent Domain. In the event that any condemnation proceedings are instituted, or notice of intent to condemn is given, with respect to all or any portion of the Property, Seller shall promptly notify Purchaser thereof, in which event if (a) the value of the portion of the Property so condemned is less than one (1%) percent of the Purchase Price (as mutually agreed between Purchaser and Seller, and if Seller and Purchaser cannot agree on the value thereof, then they shall jointly retain an appraiser to determine such value), (b) no Named Required Tenant shall exercise its right to terminate its respective Lease in connection

with any such condemnation, and (c) no material portion of any net rentable area of the Property or any material portion of the parking is taken and the existing access to the Property is not materially and adversely affected or alternative access to the Property is not provided (any such condemnation satisfying the requirements of clauses (a), (b) and (c), a “Minor Condemnation”), then Purchaser shall consummate the purchase of the Property without reduction of the Purchase Price, and the right to collect any condemnation award or compensation for such condemnation shall be assigned by Seller to Purchaser at Closing. In the event that any condemnation proceedings are instituted, or notice of intent to condemn is given, with respect to all or any portion of the Property, and such condemnation does not qualify as a Minor Condemnation, then Purchaser shall have the option, exercisable by written notice delivered to Seller within twenty (20) days after Seller’s notice of the condemnation to Purchaser (which notice shall be accompanied by an estimate of the value, provided by a jointly retained appraiser, of the portion of the Property to be taken), either (i) to consummate the purchase of the Property without reduction of the Purchase Price, and the right to collect any condemnation award and compensation for such condemnation shall be assigned by Seller to Purchaser at Closing; or (ii) to terminate this Agreement. If Purchaser elects to terminate this Agreement, Purchaser shall give notice to Seller thereof, the Deposit shall be returned to Purchaser, and thereafter neither party will have any further rights or obligations hereunder, except for any obligations that expressly survive termination. If Purchaser fails to notify Seller within such twenty (20)-day period of Purchaser’s intention to terminate this Agreement, then Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected option (ii).

ARTICLE 11 REMEDIES AND ADDITIONAL COVENANTS

11.1 Seller Default.

11.1.1 If Seller breaches its obligation to consummate the Closing hereunder, then Purchaser’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be either to (i) terminate this Agreement by giving written notice thereof to Seller prior to or at the Closing, in which event the Deposit shall be returned to Purchaser, and after the return to Purchaser of the Deposit, neither Seller nor Purchaser will have any further rights or obligations under this Agreement, except for any obligations that expressly survive termination, or (ii) specifically enforce this Agreement (but, except as expressly provided below, no other action, for damages or otherwise, shall be permitted); provided that any action by Purchaser for specific performance must be commenced, if at all, within forty-five (45) days of Seller’s breach, the failure of which shall constitute a waiver by Purchaser of such right and remedy; and provided further that, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in the event that such default is an intentional, willful breach of this Agreement by Seller then Seller shall also be obligated to reimburse Purchaser for the actual third-party out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Purchaser in connection with its negotiation of this Agreement, in connection with its assumption of the Metropolitan Loan, including any application or other fees or expenses paid or reimbursed to Metropolitan, and in connection with Purchaser’s due diligence review of the Property, in an aggregate amount up to, but not to exceed, $250,000.00 (which reimbursement obligation shall survive any termination of this Agreement). For purposes of this Agreement, an action shall be deemed to have been “commenced” if a complaint has been filed in a court of competent jurisdiction and the defendant has been served within such time period. If Purchaser shall not have commenced an

action for specific performance within the aforementioned time period or so notified Seller of its election to terminate this Agreement, Purchaser’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be to terminate this Agreement in accordance with clause (i) above, and this Agreement shall automatically terminate and be of no further force or effect (except for any obligations that expressly survive termination) on the fiftieth (50^th) day after the scheduled Closing Date. If there is a failure in any material respect of any condition precedent to Closing hereunder, as set forth in Section 8.1 hereof (except as otherwise specifically provided to the contrary in this Agreement), and such failure is not remedied within the time periods specified in Section 8.1, then (except as otherwise specifically provided to the contrary in this Agreement) Purchaser’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be to terminate this Agreement by giving written notice thereof to Seller prior to or at the Closing, in which event the Deposit shall be returned to Purchaser, and, after the return to Purchaser of the Deposit, neither Seller nor Purchaser will have any further rights or obligations under this Agreement, except for any obligations that expressly survive termination.

11.1.2 In the event that Purchaser discovers after Closing that Seller breached any of its representations or warranties (or Closing occurs under Section 8.4 hereof notwithstanding a breach), including, without limitation, any representations and warranties in any Seller Estoppel Statement, Purchaser’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the right to pursue a claim against Seller for Purchaser’s actual monetary damages resulting from such breach, which may in no event exceed the aggregate sum of Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000); provided that, in no event shall Seller have any liability to Purchaser unless an action is commenced within one hundred eighty (180) days following the Closing, TIME BEING OF THE ESSENCE. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser hereby expressly waives, relinquishes and releases any right or remedy available to Purchaser at law, in equity or under this Agreement to make a claim against Seller for damages that Purchaser may incur, or to rescind this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, as the result of any of Seller’s representations or warranties being untrue, inaccurate or incorrect if (1) Purchaser knew or is deemed to have known (as defined below) that such representation or warranty was untrue, inaccurate or incorrect at the time of the Closing and Purchaser nevertheless closes title hereunder except pursuant to Section 8.4 hereof, or (2) Purchaser’s damages as a result of such representations or warranties being untrue, inaccurate or incorrect are less than One Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($150,000.00), in the aggregate. Purchaser shall be “deemed to have known” that a representation or warranty was untrue, inaccurate or incorrect at the time of the Closing if the Property Information furnished or made available to Purchaser by or on behalf of Seller contains information which is inconsistent with such representation or warranty. Seller’s representations and warranties shall survive the Closing for a period of one hundred eighty (180) days following the Closing.

11.1.3 In no event whatsoever shall Purchaser be entitled to specific performance or any damages, rights or remedies against Seller as a result of any default of Seller hereunder, other than as specifically set forth in this Section 11.1.

11.2 Purchaser Default. The parties acknowledge and agree that Seller should be entitled to compensation for any detriment suffered if Purchaser defaults in its obligation to consummate the purchase of the Property on the Closing Date for any reason other than a default by Seller or the failure of any condition to Closing expressly set forth herein, but agree that it

would be extremely difficult to ascertain the extent of the actual detriment Seller would suffer as a result of such breach or default by Purchaser. Consequently, if Purchaser defaults in its obligation to consummate the purchase of the Property on the Closing Date and Seller is not then in default hereunder and all conditions to Closing of Purchaser set forth in Section 8.1 hereof have been satisfied, then Seller, as its sole and exclusive remedy, shall be entitled to terminate this Agreement by giving written notice thereof to Purchaser at the Closing, in which event the Deposit shall be paid to Seller as fixed, agreed and liquidated damages, and, after the payment of the Deposit to Seller, neither Seller nor Purchaser will have any further rights or obligations under this Agreement, except for any obligations that expressly survive termination. In no event whatsoever shall Seller be entitled to any damages, rights or remedies against Purchaser as a result of any default or breach of any representation or warranty of Purchaser hereunder, other than retaining the Deposit as specifically set forth in this Section 11.2. The provisions of this Section 11.2 shall not in any manner limit or otherwise condition any of the representations or warranties of Purchaser set forth in Section 6.2.3 hereof, and Purchaser’s representations and warranties set forth in such Section 6.2.3 shall survive the Closing.

11.3 Delivery of Materials. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, if this Agreement is terminated for any reason whatsoever, then Purchaser shall promptly deliver to Seller, without any warranty, representation or recourse whatsoever, all Property Information provided to Purchaser by Seller, including copies thereof in any form whatsoever, including electronic form, along with copies of any and all tests and studies of the Property performed by or on behalf of Purchaser pursuant to Article 5; provided, however, if such termination is the result of Seller’s default hereunder, Purchaser shall have no obligation to deliver any such tests and studies performed pursuant to Article 5 unless Seller pays (or reimburses) the cost thereof. The obligations of Purchaser under this Section 11.3 shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

ARTICLE 12 BROKERAGE COMMISSION

12.1 Brokers. Seller represents and warrants to Purchaser that Seller has not contacted or entered into any agreement with any real estate broker, agent, finder, or any party in connection with this transaction, except for Eastdil Secured, LLC (“Seller’s Advisor”) and that Seller has not taken any action which would result in any real estate broker’s or finder’s fees or commissions being due and payable to any party other than Seller’s Advisor with respect to the transaction contemplated hereby. Seller shall pay all real estate broker’s or finder’s fees or commissions due and payable to Seller’s Advisor, and Purchaser shall have no obligation or liability with respect thereto. Purchaser hereby represents and warrants to Seller that Purchaser has not contracted or entered into any agreement with any real estate broker, agent, finder, or any party in connection with this transaction, and that Purchaser has not taken any action which would result in any real estate broker’s or finder’s fees or commissions being due or payable to any party with respect to the transaction contemplated hereby.

12.2 Indemnity. Each party hereby indemnifies and agrees to hold the other party harmless from any loss, liability, damage, cost, or expense (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) paid or incurred by the other party by reason of a breach of the representation, warranty and covenants made by such party under this Article 12.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the indemnities set forth in this Section 12.2 shall survive the Closing.

ARTICLE 13 NOTICES

13.1 Written Notice. All notices, demands and requests which may be given or which are required to be given by either party to the other party under this Agreement must be in writing.

13.2 Method of Transmittal. All notices, demands, requests or other communications required or permitted to be given hereunder must be sent (i) by United States certified mail, postage fully prepaid, return receipt requested, (ii) by hand delivery, (iii) by Federal Express or a similar nationally recognized overnight courier service, or (iv) by facsimile with both telephonic confirmation of successful receipt and a confirmation copy delivered by overnight courier service. All such notices, demands, requests or other communications (other than those delivered by facsimile) shall be deemed to have been given for all purposes of this Agreement upon the date of receipt or refusal, except that whenever under this Agreement a notice is either received on a day which is not a Business Day or is required to be delivered on or before a specific day which is not a Business Day, the day of receipt or required delivery shall automatically be extended to the next Business Day. All such notices, demands, requests or other communications delivered by facsimile shall be deemed to have been given for all purposes of this Agreement on the date of transmission, provided such transmission occurs on a Business Day and the sender receives electronic confirmation of successful transmission and thereafter delivers a confirmation copy of such transmission by overnight courier service.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, each party consents to any disclosure of this Agreement which the other party reasonably believes is required by law or which is recommended in good faith by counsel to such other party. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Purchaser acknowledges that Seller is governed under German law by the German Investment Law (InvG) and any required disclosures thereunder shall not be deemed a breach by Seller of this Section 15.17. Further, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Seller acknowledges that Purchaser (or its affiliates or any entity advised by Purchaser’s affiliates) shall be permitted to disclose the transaction contemplated by this Agreement and/or the terms of this Agreement and any such information relating to the Property in any document as may be necessary to comply with any applicable federal or state securities laws, rules, or regulations or to comply with the requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission, the New York Stock Exchange or any similar agency or body, and any such disclosures shall not be deemed a breach by Purchaser of this Section 15.17.

Purchaser shall be responsible for all out-of-pocket costs associated with this audit. Seller shall cooperate (at no cost to Seller) with Purchaser (or HILP or an affiliate of HILP) and Purchaser’s auditor in the conduct of such audit.

Without limiting the foregoing, (i) Purchaser (or HILP or an affiliate of HILP) or its designated independent or other auditor may audit Seller’s operating statements of the Property, at Purchaser’s expense, and Seller shall provide such documentation as Purchaser or its auditor may reasonably request in order to complete such audit, and (ii) Seller shall furnish to Purchaser (or HILP or an affiliate of HILP) such financial and other information as may be reasonably required by Purchaser (or HILP or an affiliate of HILP) to make any required filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission or other governmental authority; provided, however, that the foregoing obligations of Seller shall be limited to providing such information or documentation as may be in the possession of, or reasonably obtainable by, Seller, its property manager or accountants, at no material cost to

Seller, and in the format that Seller (or its property manager or accountants) have maintained such information.

The Post Closing Escrow shall be held by Escrow Agent in a separate interest-bearing account pursuant to the terms of the Post-Closing Escrow Agreement and all earnings or interest on the Post Closing Escrow shall be paid to Seller upon termination of the Post Closing Escrow or upon earlier demand by Seller. Disbursements from the Post Closing Escrow shall be made in accordance with the terms of the Post-Closing Escrow Agreement to reimburse Purchaser only for claims (i) for breaches of Seller’s representations or warranties pursuant to Section 11.1.2 hereof or for any damage, loss, cost or expense suffered by Purchaser as a result of materially adverse matters disclosed in an Unacceptable Lease Certificate for which Seller elects to deliver a Seller’s Estoppel Statement in lieu thereof pursuant to Section 8.3.2 of this Agreement, in each case actions for which are commenced within one hundred eighty (180) days following the Closing, (ii) for any amounts due to Purchaser pursuant to Sections 8.4.2 or 9.5, or (iii) for any breach by Seller of its representations, warranties or obligations under Article 12. If any amounts remain in the Post Closing Escrow as of the date which is one hundred eighty (180) days after the Closing Date, unless and to the extent Purchaser has commenced such an action for any such breach under clauses (i) or (iii) of this Section 15.19 or submitted a claim for any disbursement from the Post Closing Escrow under clause (ii) of this Section 15.19 on or before such date, Seller and Purchaser shall cause such amounts to be promptly disbursed to Seller by the Escrow Agent. In the event that, as of the date which is one hundred eighty (180) days after the Closing Date, Purchaser has, in the case of clauses (i) or (iii) of this Section 15.19, commenced such an action or, in the case of clause (ii) of this Section 15.19, submitted a claim for any disbursement from the Post Closing Escrow in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence, and there remain amounts in the Post Closing Escrow which would not be necessary to satisfy such claims and disbursements, Seller and Purchaser shall cause such remaining amounts to be promptly disbursed to Seller by the Escrow Agent. The provisions of this Section 15.19 shall survive the Closing.
