CLOSING MATTERS
4.1 Survey. No later than twenty (20) days following the
date hereof, Seller shall deliver the Survey to Purchaser, at
Seller's sole cost and expense. The Survey shall be dated not
more than thirty (30) days prior to date of delivery, shall show
no encroachments by or from the Real Property onto any adjacent
property and no violation of or encroachments upon any recorded
building lines, restrictions, zoning set-backs, or easements
affecting the Real Property. If the Survey discloses any such
unpermitted encroachment or violation or any exceptions to title
or matters indicating possible rights of third parties other than
the Permitted Title Exceptions and the same are not acceptable to
Purchaser, or if Purchaser desires to have the surveyor's
certification revised in a reasonable manner, then, within five
(5) days from Purchaser's receipt of the Survey, Purchaser must
so notify Seller. If Purchaser fails to so notify Seller within
said five (5) day period, the Survey will be conclusively deemed
to be approved by Purchaser. If, within said five (5) day period
Purchaser notifies Seller that the Survey does not comply with
the terms of this Agreement (which notification must specify in
what respects the Survey does not so comply), Seller shall have
ten (10) days from the date of delivery of Purchaser's notice to
have the Title Insurer issue its endorsements insuring against
damage caused by such encroachments, violations or unpermitted
exceptions and provide evidence thereof to Purchaser, or to have
the surveyor's certification revised, as applicable, and if
Seller fails to do so, and provide evidence thereof to Purchaser,
within said ten (10) day period, Purchaser may elect within ten
(10) days after the expiration of Seller's ten (10) day cure
period, to (i) terminate this Agreement and thereafter there
shall be no further liability of either party hereunder (in which
event the Deposit shall promptly be returned to Purchaser) or
(ii) accept the Real Property subject to such encroachments,
violations and unpermitted exceptions or the unrevised surveyor's
certification, as applicable, without any diminution of the
Purchase Price. Purchaser's failure to make any election within
said ten (10) day period shall be conclusively deemed to mean
that Purchaser has elected the option contained in subsection (i)
of this Section 4.1.
4.2 Title. No later than twenty (20) days following the
date hereof, Seller shall deliver the Title Commitment to
Purchaser, at Seller's sole cost and expense. If the Title
Commitment discloses exceptions to title other than the Permitted
Title Exceptions ("Unpermitted Title Exceptions") and such
Unpermitted Title Exceptions are not acceptable to Purchaser,
then, within five (5) days from Purchaser's receipt of the Title
Commitment, Purchaser must so notify Seller. If Purchaser fails
to so notify Seller within said five (5) day period, the
Unpermitted Title Exceptions will be conclusively deemed to be
approved by Purchaser. If, within said five (5) day period,
Purchaser shall notify Seller that all or certain of the
Unpermitted Title Exceptions are not acceptable to Purchaser
(which notification must specify which Unpermitted Title
Exceptions are so unacceptable), Seller shall have ten (10) days
from the date of Purchaser's notice to have such exceptions
removed from the Title Commitment or cause the Title Insurer to
insure Purchaser against same and provide evidence thereof to
Purchaser, and if Seller fails to have such exceptions removed,
or insured over, Purchaser may elect, within ten (10) days after
the expiration of Seller's ten (10) day cure period to
(i) terminate this Agreement without liability on the part of any
party thereafter (in which event the Deposit shall be promptly
returned to Purchaser), or (ii) accept title subject to such
Unpermitted Title Exceptions without any diminution of the
Purchase Price. Purchaser's failure to make any election within
said ten (10) day period shall be conclusively deemed to mean
that Purchaser has elected the option contained in subsection (i)
of this Section 4.2. On the Closing Date, at the expense of
Seller as set forth in Section 4.3(d) hereof, Seller shall cause
the Title Insurer to issue an owner's title insurance policy or
prepaid commitment therefor pursuant to and in accordance with
the Title Commitment insuring fee simple title to the Real
Property in Purchaser or its designee as of the Closing Date,
subject only to the Permitted Title Exceptions and such other
exceptions as Purchaser may approve. If Seller is unable to
cause the Title Insurer to issue any of the Endorsements and
Purchaser refuses to waive the requirement therefor, then this
Agreement shall become null and void and of no further force or
effect, and the Deposit will be returned to Purchaser.
Additionally, Seller will have no obligation to obtain any of the
Endorsements if the Title Insurer charges other than standard
rates for the coverage or if the Title Insurer requires security
or an indemnity from Seller in order to issue any of the
Endorsements.
If Purchaser shall make objection to the Survey (as
described in Section 4.1) or the Title Commitment (as described
in this Section 4.2) and the Closing Date was to occur prior to
the time each party was able to exercise its rights under
Section 4.1 or Section 4.2, as applicable, then the Closing Date
will be extended to a date which is three (3) business days
subsequent to the latest date for notice, objection and remedy
permitted by either Section 4.1 or 4.2, as applicable.
4.3 Possession, Prorations and Expenses, and New Leases.
(a) Sole and exclusive possession of the Property,
subject only to the rights of the tenants under the Leases, shall
be delivered to Purchaser on the Closing Date. Any vacant space
will be placed into Rent Ready Condition which is defined to be
that all walls are patched and freshly painted, each space to be
demised has a fully-fixtured and operable bathroom, and all doors
have locks and are operable, the ceiling is completed with
acoustical tile and standard fluorescent lighting and the floor
is in broom-clean condition. Rent Ready Condition shall not
require Seller to remove any interior walls or partitions in any
such vacant space.
(b) If the balance of the Purchase Price is deposited
in immediately available funds with the Title Insurer by 12:00
noon on the Closing Date, as required by Section 4.5(d) hereof,
all prorations will be computed as of the end of the day
immediately prior to the Closing Date ("Proration Date"). If
Purchaser fails to deposit the balance of the Purchase Price by
12:00 noon on the Closing Date, as aforesaid, and if Seller does
not terminate this Contract for such default of Purchaser and the
Closing occurs, the Proration Date shall be concurrent with the
Closing Date and all prorations will be calculated as of the end
of the day on the Closing Date.
(c) Fixed Rent, Percentage Rent and tenant common area
maintenance and other expense contributions to be made by tenants
shall be prorated as follows:
(i) Fixed Rent - prepaid Fixed Rent will be
prorated as of the Proration Date. All other Fixed Rent
which is delinquent on the Proration Date will not be
prorated. All such arrearages of Fixed Rent unpaid on the
Proration Date will remain the sole and exclusive property
of Seller after Closing, provided, however, if, after
Closing, Seller shall receive any such delinquent Fixed
Rent, Seller will remit to Purchaser that portion of such
delinquent Fixed Rent that is attributable to the period
after the Proration Date, if any. Seller shall retain all
right, title, power and authority to enforce payment thereof
after Closing, except that Seller will not have the right to
terminate the Lease of a delinquent tenant after Closing due
to such delinquency. If, after Closing, Purchaser or its
designee shall receive any delinquent Fixed Rents (this
provision shall not relate to percentage rents) Purchaser
may first apply such payments to rent delinquencies which
relate to any period after the Proration Date, and Purchaser
agrees, on its behalf and on behalf of its designee, to
immediately remit the balance to Seller.
(ii) Percentage Rent - Percentage Rent which is
due but unpaid at Closing and accrued Percentage Rent not
yet payable at Closing will not be prorated. If, after
Closing, however, Purchaser receives any payment of
percentage rent which relates in any part to sales made
prior to the Proration Date, Purchaser shall immediately
remit Seller's share thereof to Seller and may not apply any
portion of such percentage rent to any post Proration Date
rent delinquencies whether delinquent Fixed Rent or tenants'
delinquent obligations to pay their prorata share of taxes
or "Expenses" (as hereinafter defined).
(iii) Tenant CAM and Other Expense
Contributions -- For purposes hereof, the term "Expenses"
shall mean all common area maintenance costs and other
operating expenses of the Property, excluding real estate
taxes and other items expressly covered in other provisions
of this Section 4.3. All payments by the tenant to the
landlord under the Leases for Expenses ("Tenant Expense
Contributions") shall be dealt with as follows:
(aa) At Closing there will be no prorations
between Seller and Purchaser for Expenses for calendar
year 1997;
(bb) Seller will be permitted to retain all
payments of Tenant Expense Contributions due under the
Leases for calendar year 1997;
(cc) Seller will pay for all Expenses
incurred during calendar year 1997 whether or not
billed in 1997 or in 1998; and
(dd) Seller will reconcile the calendar year
1997 Tenant Expense Contributions with the tenants
under the Leases subsequent to Closing.
In addition, security deposits, personal property taxes,
general and special real estate and other ad valorem taxes
and assessments and other state or city taxes, fees, charges
and assessments affecting the Property, prepaid expenses,
utility charges and deposits, if any, and all other
customarily proratable items shall be prorated as of the
Proration Date on the basis of the most recent ascertainable
amounts of or other reliable information in respect to each
such item of income and expense and the net credit to
Purchaser or Seller shall be paid in cash or as a credit or
debit against the Purchase Price. All prorations and
reprorations for real estate taxes will be predicated upon
the maximum available discount for early payment. In no
event shall Seller be charged or responsible for any
increase in real estate taxes on the Property resulting from
any improvements made to the Property after the Proration
Date. In the event that any Lease requires the tenant
thereunder to pay any portion of the real estate taxes (upon
presentment of the actual tax xxxx) the credit in favor of
Purchaser for accrued real estate and other ad valorem taxes
("Purchaser's Tax Credit") will be reduced by an amount
equal to the aggregate of all such tenants' obligations to
pay any portion of Purchaser's Tax Credit under all such
Leases. If any general or special assessment (as contrasted
to ad valorem taxes) is payable in installments, only the
current installment will be prorated and all subsequent
installments will be the obligation of Purchaser. Real
estate taxes will be reprorated (and such reproration will
be a final reproration) within thirty (30) days after
receipt of the tax xxxx for year of Closing, if not then
available.
Seller, at the time of reproration, will be entitled to a
credit equal to the aggregate of all tenants' obligations to
pay any portion of such reprorated amount of real estate
taxes under the provisions of the Leases.
(d) Seller shall pay all title charges required to
fulfill the obligations under Section 4.2, one-half (1/2) of the
escrow charges, all survey charges, and the cost of the
Documentary Stamps on the Deed. Purchaser shall pay for one-half
(1/2) of the escrow charges, and the charges of the County
Recorder to record the Deed. The parties shall each be solely
responsible for the fees and disbursements of their respective
counsel and other professional advisers.
(e) (i) Seller, until the earlier of the Closing Date
or termination of this Agreement, shall not enter into any
new Leases ("New Leases") without the prior written consent
of the Purchaser, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld. Purchaser will not be deemed to have unreasonably
withheld its consent to a proposed New Lease if the terms
thereof do not meet the Criterion for New Leases described
on Exhibit F attached hereto.
(ii)In the event Seller enters into a New Lease
after the date of this Agreement, and such New Lease
requires improvements or the payment of brokerage
commissions (collectively the "New Leasing Costs") at the
expense of Seller, as landlord, Purchaser by approving the
execution of the New Lease shall, at Closing, assume the
obligation to pay for all unpaid New Leasing Costs. Any New
Leasing Costs paid by Seller prior to Closing, will be
reimbursed to Seller by Purchaser at Closing.
(iii) Failure of the Purchaser to consent or
express its objections with specificity in writing within
three (3) business days after a written request for such
consent to the execution of a New Lease by Seller, shall be
deemed to constitute consent.
(iv) Purchaser at Closing will indemnify and
forever defend and hold Seller, its partners, agents, and
employees harmless from any loss, liability, suit, action,
judgment or claim as a result of Purchaser's non-payment of
any New Leasing Costs assumed by Purchaser at Closing.
4.4 Escrow. Concurrently herewith, the parties, through
their respective attorneys, shall establish a Strict Joint Order
Escrow in the form customarily used by Escrowee under which the
Deposit will be held. If Purchaser shall not give the Notice to
Cancel, then not later than seven (7) days prior to the Closing
Date, but subject in any event to Section 4.5(g), the Strict
Joint Order Escrow will be terminated, and a new escrow will be
created by the parties through their respective attorneys with
the Escrowee at Escrowee's office in Chicago, Illinois through
which the Deposit will be held and invested and the transaction
shall be Closed. The escrow instructions shall be in the form
customarily used by the Escrowee with such special provisions
added thereto as may be required to conform to the provisions of
this Agreement. Said escrow shall be auxiliary to this Agreement
and this Agreement shall not be merged into nor in any manner
superseded by said escrow.
4.5 Closing.
(a) The Closing of the transaction contemplated hereby
shall commence at 10:00 a.m. (CST) on the Closing Date at the

other date, time and place as the parties may mutually agree.

when added to the gross leasable area in the Improvements
occupied by the foregoing four (4) named tenants, aggregate
not less than 80% of the total occupied gross leasable area
in the Improvements ("80% Estoppel Certificate
Requirement"). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in order to
satisfy the 80% Estoppel Certificate requirement, Seller may
execute Landlord's Estoppel Certificates substantially in
the form of Exhibit G-2 attached hereto on behalf of any
tenant other than Xx-Xxx Fabrics, if any tenants other than
Xx-Xxx refuses or fails to execute required Estoppel
Certificates. If Seller is unable to procure Estoppel
Certificates executed by a sufficient number of tenants in
the Improvements to satisfy the 80% Estoppel Certificate
Requirement and fails to execute a sufficient number of
Landlord's Estoppel Certificates to satisfy the 80% Estoppel
Certificate Requirement by the Proration Date, such failure
shall not constitute a default by Seller hereunder and
Purchaser's sole rights hereunder will be to terminate this
Agreement and obtain a return of the Deposit or to waive

certifications and confirmations as may be reasonably
required and to fully effect and consummate the transaction

made by Purchaser or Seller on or prior to the Proration Date and
all deposits and transactions required to be consummated
concurrently with Closing, shall be deemed to have been delivered
and to have been consummated simultaneously with all other

deemed to have been made, and no transaction shall be deemed to
have been consummated, until all deliveries required by
Purchaser, or its designee, and Seller shall have been made, and
all concurrent or other transactions shall have been consummated.

their respective attorneys shall meet with the Escrowee on or
before the Proration Date (as they shall mutually agree) to make
their respective deposits (except for the balance of the Purchase
Price which will be deposited by Purchaser on the Closing Date,
as aforesaid) and approve the proration statement, all as
described in this Section 4.5, to enable the Closing to occur in
a prompt fashion on the Closing Date.
ARTICLE V

Purchaser that Seller has not dealt with any broker or finder
with respect to the transaction contemplated hereby except for
Xxxxxxx Xxxxx, L.L.C. ("Brokers") whose commission shall be paid
by Seller at Closing; and Seller hereby agrees to indemnify
Purchaser for any claim for brokerage commission or finder's fee

DESTRUCTION, DAMAGE OR CONDEMNATION
6.1 Destruction or Damage. In the event that prior to the
Closing Date any portion of the Improvements shall be damaged or
destroyed by fire or other casualty, Seller shall immediately
give Purchaser notice of such occurrence. If the amount of
damage caused by such fire or casualty shall exceed $350,000.00
(as determined by an insurance adjuster selected by Seller)
Purchaser may, within fifteen (15) days after receipt of such
notice, elect to (a) terminate this Agreement, in which event the
Deposit shall be returned promptly to Purchaser, all obligations
of the parties hereunder shall cease and this Agreement shall
have no further force and effect, or (b) Close the transaction
contemplated hereby as scheduled (except that if the Closing Date
is less than fifteen (15) days following Purchaser's receipt of
such notice, Closing shall be delayed until after Purchaser makes
such election), and Seller shall assign to Purchaser at Closing
all rights under Seller's insurance policy to collect insurance
proceeds for such destruction or damage and loss of rents, and
Purchaser shall receive a credit against the Purchase Price equal
to equal amount of any deductible under such policy. Failure to
give such notice within such time shall be conclusive evidence
that Purchaser has elected the option contained in subsection (b)
of this Section 6.1.
In the event that the amount of damage caused by such fire
or casualty is less than $350,000.00 (as determined by an
insurance adjuster selected by Seller), Purchaser may not elect
to terminate this Agreement and shall Close the transaction
contemplated hereby as scheduled, and Seller shall assign to
Purchaser at Closing all rights under Seller's insurance policy
to collect insurance proceeds for such destruction or damage and
loss of rents, and Purchaser shall receive a credit against the
Purchase Price equal to the amount of any deductible under such
policy.
6.2 Condemnation. If, subsequent to the date hereof and
prior to the Closing Date, any proceeding, which shall relate to
the proposed taking of any material portion of the Real Property
or Improvements by condemnation or eminent domain or any action
in the nature of eminent domain, is instituted or commenced,
Purchaser shall have the right and option to terminate this
Agreement by giving Seller written notice to such effect within
fifteen (15) days after actual receipt of written notification of
any such occurrence. Failure to give such notice within such
time shall be conclusive evidence that Purchaser has waived the
option to terminate by reason of the occurrence of which it has
received notice. If any such action is instituted or commenced,
and Purchaser elects or is deemed to elect not to terminate this
Agreement, at Closing, Purchaser shall be assigned all Seller's
right to any proceeds therefrom. Seller agrees to furnish
Purchaser written notification with respect to any such
proceedings within forty-eight hours of Seller's receipt of any
such notification or learning of the institution of such
proceedings. Should Purchaser elect to so terminate this
Agreement, the Deposit shall be returned promptly to Purchaser
and thereupon the parties hereto shall be released from any and
all further obligations hereunder. If the Closing Date is less
than fifteen (15) days following the last day on which Purchaser
is entitled to elect to terminate this Agreement, the closing
shall be delayed until after Purchaser makes such election.
The term "material" for purposes of this Section 6.2 shall
mean any taking of any portion of the Improvements or any taking
of more than ten (10%) percent of the land area of the Real
Estate.
6.3 Casualty and Rent Loss Insurance. If, under the terms
of Section 6.1, Seller is obligated at Closing, to assign to
Purchaser all rights under Seller's insurance policy to collect
insurance proceeds for the repair of any pre-Closing destruction
or damage, Seller shall, at Closing, make Purchaser a loss payee
under such insurance policy in order to effectuate such
assignment obligation of Seller and in addition shall make
Purchaser a loss payee for any Loss of Rents insurance coverage
relating to any rental loss arising from said destruction or
damage, but relating solely to the period commencing on the
Proration Date and thereafter while such coverage may be in
effect and the rent is abated under any of the Leases as a result
of such destruction or damage.
In the event Seller is obligated to make Purchaser a loss
payee for any Loss of Rents insurance coverage pursuant to the
preceding paragraph and Seller's insurance to cover such Loss of
Rents for a period of twelve (12) months from the date of any
fire or casualty is not in effect at the time of Closing,
Purchaser, at its election (to be exercised at or prior to
Closing by written notice to Seller) may terminate this
Agreement, obtain a return of its Deposit and thereupon the
parties hereto shall be released from any and all further
obligations hereunder.

or testing at the Property (other than a customary Phase 1
Environmental Report which involves no intrusive testing or
sampling), Purchaser shall first provide Seller with the proposed
study plan therefor ("Plan"). The Plan is subject to the
approval of Seller and no environmental sampling or testing shall
be performed until the Plan therefor has been approved by Seller.
Purchaser agrees that Seller may have a representative present at
any inspection, sampling or testing, including, but not limited
to, an environmental engineer or consultant designated by Seller
(in connection with any environmental sampling or testing
conducted by Purchaser in accordance with this Section 7(c). At
Seller's request, any sampling or testing by Purchaser's
environmental consultant shall be conducted in a manner so as to
provide "split" samples or data to Seller's environmental
consultant.
Purchaser does hereby indemnify and forever defend and hold
Seller, its partners, agents, and employees harmless from any
loss, liability, suit, action judgment, or claim (including,
without limitation, any mechanics' liens which may be filed
against the Property) which any of the indemnified parties may
suffer or sustain as a result of the exercise by Purchaser of its
rights (and that of its Permittees) to enter upon the Property or
the office of Seller pursuant to this Section 7.1(c). Prior to
any such entry, Purchaser (or its Permittees) will deliver to
Seller a certificate of Commercial General Liability insurance
naming Seller and its partners as additional insured thereunder
in coverage amounts of not less than $1,000,000.00 per
occurrence. If the Closing does not occur for any reason,
Purchaser will restore (or cause to be restored), the Property to
its former condition to the extent Purchaser or its Permittees
have altered or damaged the Property in any manner.
(d) Seller shall notify Purchaser promptly if Seller
becomes aware of any transactions or occurrence prior to the
Closing Date which would make any of the representations or
warranties of Seller contained in Section 7.2 hereof not true in
any material respect.
(e) Any vacant rentable space in the Real Property
will be placed into Rent Ready Condition which is defined to be
that all walls are patched and freshly painted, each space to be
demised has a fully-fixtured and operable bathroom, and all doors
have locks and are operable, the ceiling is completed with
acoustical tile and standard fluorescent lighting and the floor
is in broom-clean condition.
(f) Seller agrees to cooperate with Purchaser's
accountants (at no cost or expense to Seller) relative to the
performance by said accountants of an audit of Seller's books and
records relating to the Property. If Purchaser's auditors shall
request Seller to execute a representation letter addressed to
the auditors and Seller and the auditors cannot agree on the
content thereof, Purchaser may terminate this Agreement at any
time prior to the Closing Date by written notice to Seller
whereupon Purchaser shall obtain a return of the Deposit and
Seller shall reimburse Purchaser for the actual costs of
Purchaser's appraisal and environmental study to a maximum amount
of $8,500.00 and this Agreement shall become null and void and of
no further force or effect.
7.2 Representations and Warranties of Seller. To induce
Purchaser to execute, deliver and perform this Agreement, Seller
hereby represents and warrants to Purchaser on and as of the date
hereof and on and as of the Closing Date (except as set forth in

respect to the Real Property or Improvements or any part thereof.
Except as may be set forth in the Leases, there are no rights of
first refusal to purchase or options to purchase the Property in
favor of any tenant under the Leases.
(d) Seller has full capacity, right, power and
authority to execute, deliver and perform this Agreement and all
documents to be executed by Seller pursuant hereto, and all
required action and approvals therefor have been duly taken and

matter of any representation or warranty made to "Seller's actual
knowledge.
7.3 Representations and Warranties of Purchaser. To induce
Seller to execute, deliver and perform this Agreement, Purchaser
hereby represents and warrants to Seller on and as of the date
hereof and on and as of the Closing Date as follows:
(a) All representations and warranties of Purchaser
appearing in other Sections of this Agreement are true and
correct.
(b) Purchaser has full capacity, right, power and
authority to execute and deliver this Agreement. At Closing,
Purchaser's designee, if any, will have full capacity, right,
power, and authority to perform this Agreement and all documents
to be executed by Purchaser pursuant hereto. This Agreement and
all documents to be executed pursuant hereto by Purchaser are and
shall be binding upon Purchaser in accordance with their
respective terms.
(c) Purchaser certifies and warrants to Seller that
the purchase of the Property by Purchaser or its designee will
not result in a prohibited transaction under Section 406 of the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, Section 4975 of
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, or any similar state law
applicable to governmental plans. Purchaser shall indemnify and
hold Seller harmless from all loss (including reasonable
attorneys' fees and costs) arising out of a breach of the
foregoing certification and warranty. The terms of this
Section 7.3(c) shall survive the Closing.
7.4 Covenants of Purchaser.
(a) Purchaser shall notify Seller promptly if
Purchaser becomes aware of any transactions or occurrence prior
to the Closing Date which would make any of the representations
or warranties of Seller contained in this Agreement untrue in any
material respect.
Purchaser's failure to so notify Seller shall
constitute a waiver by Purchaser of any liability of Seller to
Purchaser or its designee arising from the untruth of any such
representations or warranties of Seller known to Purchaser prior
to Closing, it being agreed by the parties hereto that such
representations and warranties known by Purchaser to be untrue at
or prior to Closing, shall not survive Closing.
(b) Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that the sale of
the Property is made on an "AS IS, WHERE-IS WITH ALL FAULTS"
basis and, except as specifically set forth in Section 7.2,
without representations or warranties of any kind or nature,
express, implied or otherwise, including, but not limited to, any
representation or warranty made by the Brokers or any
representation or warranty concerning zoning, financial,
environmental, or physical condition of the Property, or any
income, expenses, charges, liens, encumbrances, rights, claims on
or affecting or pertaining to the Property. Purchaser
acknowledges that if it elects to purchase the Property, it will
be doing so predicated upon its own independent investigations,
the investigations of its Permittees and the representations and
warranties of the Sellers expressly made herein or in any other
document executed and delivered by Seller to Purchaser at Closing
as described in Section 4.5(b). Purchaser hereby waives any and
all claims which may currently exist or which may arise in the
future, by contract, common law or statute currently in effect,
as amended or subsequently enacted, and which relate to the
Property or environmental conditions on, under, or near the
Property and are not the direct result of a default of this
Agreement by Seller, in which latter event Purchaser's remedies
shall be limited for any such default prior to Closing to the
provisions of Section 8.1(b) and for any default discovered after
Closing to the provisions of Section 10.3.
(c) Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that except as
provided in Section 4.3(d), nothing in this Agreement shall be
deemed to preclude or prohibit Seller from operating, managing,
leasing (including terminating any Lease for breach by the
tenant) and repairing the Property in the same manner as the same
was operated, managed, leased, and repaired prior to execution
hereof. Seller will not voluntarily terminate any of the Leases
prior to their expiration date without Purchaser's written
approval which will not be unreasonably withheld or unduly
delayed.
(d) Purchaser agrees that it will not attempt to
contact any of the tenants of the Property (whether by telephone,
correspondence, or in person) until such time, if ever, as the
Inspection Period shall have expired and Purchaser has not given
Seller a Notice to Cancel. Thereafter, Purchaser may contact any
of the tenants so long as it shall first notify Seller and give
Seller the opportunity to review any written communication with
any of the tenants or to be present at any personal meeting with
the tenants, as applicable.
ARTICLE VIII
DEFAULT, CONDITIONS PRECEDENT AND TERMINATION
8.1 Conditions to Purchaser's Obligations and Default by
Seller.
(a) The obligation of Purchaser to close the
transaction contemplated hereby is, at Purchaser's option,
subject to Purchaser's review and approval of: the Leases,
Service Contracts, the environmental and structural condition of
the Property, the Title Commitment, and such market research,
inspection of the Property, determinations as to the Property's
compliance with the Legal Requirements and review of financial
statements relating to the Property, as Purchaser deems necessary
to make its final determination to acquire the Property.
Purchaser shall have until 5:00 p.m. (CST) December 1, 1997
("Inspection Period") within which to make such reviews (except
for the environmental review as hereinafter referred to) and
approve the same. If, by the conclusion of the Inspection
Period, Purchaser has not given Seller written notice ("Notice to
Cancel") that it intends to cancel this Agreement it will be
conclusively presumed that Purchaser has approved the matters
described in this paragraph 8.1(a) and has determined to acquire
the Property. Purchaser will then have until December 5, 1997
within which to obtain approval by its Board of Directors of the
acquisition of the Property pursuant to the terms hereof. The
Inspection Period will be extended to December 16, 1997 but only
to enable Purchaser to receive and approve (in Purchaser's
reasonable discretion) the results of an Environmental Report
presently being prepared by PSI Environmental Engineers at the
request and expense of Purchaser. If Purchaser shall in its
reasonable discretion fail to approve said Environmental Report
because of environmental problems in, on or under the
Improvements or the Real Property, it must give its Notice To
Cancel for that reason only not later than December 17, 1997 or
this condition will be deemed waived by Purchaser. If on or
before the conclusion of the Inspection Period Purchaser has
given the Notice To Cancel, or if it has not given the Notice to
Cancel but notifies Seller by December 5, 1997 that it did not
obtain Board of Director approval, the Deposit will be paid to
Purchaser and this Agreement will be terminated and become null
and void except for Purchaser's obligations under
paragraph 7.1(c) which will survive such termination.
If Purchaser shall not have given a Notice to Cancel within
the time aforesaid, the Deposit shall be non-refundable except as
set forth in Sections 8. l(b), 6.1 and 6.2.
(b) The obligation of Purchaser to Close the
transaction contemplated hereby is, at Purchaser's option,
further subject to all material representations and warranties of
Seller contained in this Agreement being true and correct in
every material respect at and as of the Closing Date and all
material obligations of Seller to have been performed on or
before the Closing Date having been timely and duly performed.
If the condition precedents to Purchaser's obligation to Close as
described in Sections 4.1, 4.2, and 4.5(b)(viii) have not
occurred on or prior to the times required therein (subject to
Seller's extension rights under Section 4.5(b)(viii)), Purchaser
shall have only the following options to be exercised by written
notice to Seller prior to the Closing Date: (i) to terminate
this Agreement, obtain a return of the Deposit and thereafter
this Agreement shall be null and void, or (ii) to waive such
conditions and Close this Agreement on the Closing Date without
diminution of the Purchase Price. If Seller shall be in default
of its obligation under this Agreement (in contrast to Seller's
inability to perform any of the conditions precedent described
above and elsewhere in this Agreement which shall not constitute
a default), Purchaser shall have only the following options as
its sole and exclusive remedy for said default to be exercised by
written notice to Seller on or prior to Closing Date: (aa) to
terminate this Agreement and obtain a return of the Deposit,
whereupon this Agreement shall become null and void and of no
further force or effect, except that if the default of Seller
shall be of such a nature as to be willful and wanton in conduct,
then Purchaser also shall be entitled to receive from Seller the
sum of $75,000 as and for full, and agreed upon liquidated
damages (the parties hereto hereby acknowledge that the amount of
such damages are otherwise incapable of ascertainment) or (bb) to
obtain a return of the Deposit and seek specific performance of
this Agreement. If Purchaser does not file suit for Specific
Performance within six (6) months of Seller's alleged default, it
will be conclusively presumed that Purchaser has elected the
option set forth in Section 8.1(b)(aa). Purchaser's failure to
give such written notice on or prior to the time described above,
shall be conclusive evidence that all such conditions precedent
to Purchaser's obligations to Close have been satisfied. If this
Agreement is terminated pursuant to this Section 8.1(b), the
Deposit shall promptly be returned to Purchaser, and all other
funds and documents theretofore delivered hereunder or deposited
in escrow by either party shall be promptly returned to such
party. The rights and remedies granted to the Purchaser in this
Section 8.1(b) are the sole rights and remedies available to the
Purchaser in the event of Seller's default of its obligations
under this Agreement and Purchaser hereby waives any other rights
it may have at law (including claims for any tortious conduct it
may allege against Seller) or in equity.
8.2 Conditions to Seller's Obligations and Default by
Purchaser. The obligation of Seller to Close the transaction
contemplated hereby is, at Seller's option, conditioned upon
Purchaser's representations and warranties contained in this
Agreement being true and correct in every material respect at and
as of the Closing Date, and upon fulfillment by Purchaser of all
obligations of Purchaser which were to have been performed on or
before the Closing Date having been timely and duly performed.
If any condition precedent to Closing of Seller as set forth in
this Section 8.2 has not been fulfilled and satisfied on or
before the Closing Date, Seller may, by notice to Purchaser,
elect at any time thereafter to terminate this Agreement, and if
such termination is due to Purchaser's fault, Seller shall be
entitled to retain the Deposit as full and complete liquidated
damages (and not as a penalty or forfeiture) in lieu of any and
all other legal and equitable rights which Seller may have
hereunder, and all other funds and documents theretofore
delivered hereunder or deposited in escrow by either party shall
be promptly returned to such party. Upon such termination and
retention of the Deposit by Seller, except as set forth in the
last sentence of the first grammatical paragraph of Section 10.3
hereof, this Agreement shall become null and void and of no
further force or effect.

as contained in this Agreement shall survive the Closing if the
Purchaser satisfies the requirements hereinafter set forth in

assigned by Purchaser. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser
shall be permitted, without Seller's consent, to assign its

following, and as a condition to, any assignment by Purchaser
permitted under this subsection 10.4, Purchaser shall deliver to

connection with or related in any manner to the Property
(including, without limitation, liability for a breach of any of
the representations, warranties, indemnifications, covenants or

(b) Provided Seller establishes the reserve account
described in Section 10.7(c) no constituent partner in or agent

liability. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in

partner of Seller), nor any obligation of any constituent partner
in Seller (or in any other constituent partner of Seller) to
restore a negative capital account or to contribute capital to

liabilities or Purchaser's attorneys' fees with respect to a
breach or alleged breach of the representations, warranties,
indemnifications, covenants or other obligations (whether express
or implied) of Seller under this Agreement (or any Landlord
Estoppel Certificate or any other document executed or delivered
in connection therewith) (collectively, the "Specified
