1.3.3        Building F Purchase Price.  In addition to the Initial Purchase Price (and as additional consideration to Seller hereunder), if the Building F Closing Conditions (as defined below) have been satisfied or waived (which waiver shall be in the Purchaser’s sole and absolute discretion), then Purchaser shall pay Seven Million Eight Hundred Fifty-One Thousand and Three Hundred and Thirty Dollars ($7,851,330) (the “Building F Purchase Price”) to the Building F Owner upon exercising the Building F Option (the “Building F Closing”) in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Building F Option (the “Building F Closing Date”).

The foregoing obligations set forth in Sections 1.3.2 and 1.3.3 shall survive the Closing.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event Purchaser does not acquire the Fee Property and Building F Option at the Closing in connection with this Agreement, Purchaser shall not be required to make the payments set forth in Sections 1.3.1(b), 1.3.2 and 1.3.3 above.

4




Seller’s office the information and documents set forth on Exhibit C attached hereto (the “Property Information”) within five (5) business days after the Effective Date.  In addition, Seller shall make written request of the Building F Owner to provide or make available to Purchaser at the Property or at the Building F Owner’s offices all Phase One / Phase Two Environmental Assessments for the Building F Property, asbestos audits of the Building F Property, environmental reports related to the Building F Property; and any notices from or to any governmental authority regarding hazardous materials on or relating to the Building F Property (it being understood that Seller does not control the Building F Owner and is not warranting that any such confirmation or documents will be provided).  Seller agrees to cooperate with Purchaser and make copies, at Purchaser’s expense, of such documentation as Purchaser may reasonably request during the course of Purchaser’s review of the Property Information to the extent such documentation is in Seller’s possession and to the extent Seller is not contractually prohibited from providing copies thereof to third parties (i.e., Purchaser).  The term “Fee Service Contracts” is defined in Exhibit C.  Seller shall have the continuing obligation up to the Closing to provide Purchaser with any document described in Exhibit C and coming into Seller’s possession or produced by or for Seller after the initial delivery of the Property Information but only to the extent Seller is not contractually prohibited from providing copies of any such document to third parties.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event Seller is contractually prohibited from providing copies of any documents that Seller would otherwise be required to deliver to Purchaser in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Seller shall, within five (5) business days after the Effective Date, deliver to Purchaser a list of any such documents and Seller shall not be required to provide copies of any such documents to Purchaser in accordance with this Agreement.

2.2.          Due Diligence.  Purchaser shall have until 5:00 p.m. on the date thirty-five (35) days after the Effective Date (the “Due Diligence Period”) in which to examine, inspect, and investigate the Property, and, in Purchaser’s sole and absolute judgment and discretion, to determine whether the Property is satisfactory to Purchaser to proceed with this transaction.  Purchaser may terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 2.2 by giving written notice of termination to Seller on or before the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, and in the event Purchaser terminates this Agreement, Purchaser shall promptly thereafter return to Seller all documents that Seller shall have provided to Purchaser in connection with the Property.  This Agreement shall continue in full force and effect if Purchaser does not give the written notice of termination.  Upon such termination and return to Seller of all Property Information that Seller provided to Purchaser, the Earnest Money shall be refunded to Purchaser immediately upon request, and all further rights and obligations of the parties under this Agreement shall terminate except for those that expressly survive such termination.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser’s right to examine, inspect, and investigate Building F (and its access to Building F) will be limited to the space leased by Seller pursuant to the Existing Building F Lease.

2.3.          Access.  Upon reasonable prior notice to Seller, Purchaser and its agents, employees, consultants, contractors, subcontractors, lenders and representatives shall have reasonable access to the Property and all books and records for the Property that are in Seller’s possession (except for any of Seller’s scientific materials and business records relating, except to de minimis extent, primarily to its business operations conducted at the Property as opposed to primarily the ownership of the Property (“Seller’s Personal Documents”)) for the purpose of

5




conducting surveys, appraisals, architectural, engineering, structural, mechanical, geotechnical and environmental inspections and tests, and any other inspections, studies, or tests reasonably required by Purchaser; provided, however, Purchaser may not conduct any invasive testing without Seller’s prior consent (which consent may be withheld in Seller’s sole and absolute discretion) and Seller shall have the right to accompany Purchaser during all activities conducted at the Property.  All access shall be subject to any rights of ChemNavigator (the “Existing Building F Subtenant”) under that certain sublease dated September 19, 2005, as amended by Amendment No. 1 to Sublease effective as of January 19, 2007, by and between the Existing Building F Subtenant and Seller covering approximately 2,000 square feet in Building F (the “Existing Building F Sublease”).  If any inspection or test disturbs the Property in a material respect, Purchaser will restore the Property to its condition before any such inspection or test.  During the pendency of this Agreement, Purchaser and its agents, employees, consultants, contractors, subcontractors, lenders and representatives shall have a continuing right of reasonable access to the Property and any office of Seller where the records of the Property are kept or, if Seller designates an office for such records (i.e., a “war room”), then that particular office, with reasonable prior notice, for the purpose of examining and making copies of all books and records and other materials relating to the Property in Seller’s possession or control (except for Seller’s Personal Documents).  During the Due Diligence Period, Purchaser may conduct tenant interviews.  Purchaser shall have the right to conduct a “walk-through” of the Property before the Closing upon reasonable prior notice to Seller.  In the course of its investigations, Purchaser may make inquiries to third parties, including, without limitation, representatives, contractors, property managers, parties to Fee Service Contracts and municipal, local and other government officials and representatives in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and Seller consents to such inquiries.  Purchaser hereby indemnifies, protects, defends (with counsel reasonably acceptable to Seller) and holds Seller and the Property free and harmless from and against any and all costs, losses, liabilities, damages, lawsuits, judgments, actions, proceedings, penalties, demands, attorneys’ fees, mechanic’s liens, or expenses of any kind or nature whatsoever (“Claims”), to the extent caused by any entry and/or activities upon the Property by Purchaser or Purchaser’s agents, employees, consultants, contractors, subcontractors, lenders and representatives, provided, however, Purchaser shall not indemnify Seller against any Claims caused by Seller’s negligence or willful misconduct, or Claims arising out of conditions that were present before Purchaser entered the Property, except to the extent that Purchaser’s activities (a) are unreasonable in the context of the information provided to Purchaser, or reasonably evident to Purchaser, with respect to such existing conditions, and (b) exacerbate such existing conditions.  The foregoing indemnity obligations shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the Closing.

2.4.          Tenant Estoppel.  Seller shall, at least ten (10) days before the expiration of the Due Diligence Period use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver to Purchaser an estoppel certificate from the Existing Building F Subtenant with respect to the Existing Building F Sublease substantially in the form of Exhibit D attached hereto (the “Tenant Estoppel”).  If Seller is unable to obtain the Tenant Estoppel from the Existing Building F Subtenant in a timely manner, Purchaser shall take this circumstance into account when deciding whether to deliver a written notice of termination before the expiration of the Due Diligence Period.

6




2.5.          Indemnification.  On the Closing Date, Purchaser shall not assume any service contracts, property management agreements, leases or leasing agreements affecting the Fee Property, including, without limitation, the Fee Service Contracts.  Seller shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless Purchaser from and against any liability, damages, causes of action, expenses, and attorneys’ fees incurred by Purchaser by reason of the: (a) the inadvertent assignment to Purchaser of any such service contracts, property management agreements, leases or leasing agreements to which Seller or an affiliate of Seller is a party; or (b) the failure of Seller to fulfill, perform, discharge, and observe its obligations with respect to such service contracts, property management agreements, leases or leasing agreements to which Seller or an affiliate of Seller is a party.

ARTICLE 3.   TITLE AND SURVEY REVIEW

3.1.          Delivery of Preliminary Title Report and Survey.  Seller shall cause to be delivered to Purchaser on or prior to the date that is five (5) business days after the Effective Date, any existing survey of the Property in Seller’s possession or control.  Purchaser may, in its sole discretion, obtain a new ALTA-ACSM Urban survey of the Property (the “Survey”) prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, including a certification addressed to Purchaser, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E.  Purchaser may, in its sole discretion, obtain a preliminary title report (the “Preliminary Title Report”) issued by the Title Company for the Fee Property.  The Preliminary Title Report, the documents referred to therein, and the Survey are referred to herein collectively as the “Title Documents.”

3.2.          Title Review and Cure.  During the Due Diligence Period, Purchaser shall review title to the Property as disclosed by the Title Documents.  Purchaser shall be entitled to object to any title matters shown in the Title Documents, in its sole discretion, by a written notice of objections delivered to Seller at least five (5) business days before the expiration of the Due Diligence Period.  Purchaser shall notify Seller before the expiration of the Due Diligence Period which title exceptions (excluding survey matters), if any, will not be accepted by Purchaser (the “Title Notice”).  If Purchaser fails to notify Seller in writing of its disapproval of any exceptions before the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, Purchaser shall be deemed to have accepted the condition of title to the Land.  If Purchaser notifies Seller in writing that Purchaser objects to any exceptions to title, Seller shall have three (3) business days after receipt of the Title Notice to notify Purchaser as to one of the following: (a) that Seller will remove such objectionable exceptions from title on or before the Closing; (b) that Seller elects not to cause such exceptions to be removed; or (c) that Seller will use commercially reasonable efforts to remove such objectionable exceptions, without any absolute assurance that they will be removed.  If Seller fails to notify Purchaser within such three (3) business day period, then Seller shall be deemed to have made an election under the foregoing clause (b).  Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Agreement, all monetary obligations (including, without limitation, mechanics and materialmens liens or claims thereof, any liens or encumbrances that secure obligations for borrowed money and any encumbrances to title which are created by Seller after the Effective Date) disclosed in the Preliminary Title Report constituting a lien against the Fee Land are to be satisfied by Seller before Closing.  The procurement by Seller of a commitment for the issuance of the Title Policy (as defined in Section 6.2(g) hereof) or an endorsement thereto insuring Purchaser, in a manner acceptable to Purchaser, against any title exception

7




which was disapproved pursuant to this Section 3.2 shall be deemed a cure by Seller of such disapproval.  If Seller gives Purchaser notice under clauses (b) or (c) above, Purchaser shall have two (2) business days after the date of such notice in which to notify Seller that Purchaser will nevertheless proceed with the purchase in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and take title to the Fee Property subject to such objectionable exceptions, or that Purchaser will terminate this Agreement and receive a refund of the Earnest Money.  If Purchaser does not terminate this Agreement or deliver a Title Notice to Seller before the expiration of the Due Diligence Period pursuant to Section 2.2, then Purchaser shall have been deemed to have approved any title exception set forth in the Title Documents that Seller is not obligated to remove and Seller did not agree in writing to remove or cure or use reasonable efforts to cure.  If after the expiration of the Due Diligence Period the Title Company revises the Preliminary Title Report or the surveyor revises the Survey, to add or modify exceptions and Purchaser objects to such additional or modified exceptions within three (3) days after Purchaser receives written notice thereof, then Purchaser may terminate this Agreement and receive a refund of the Earnest Money if the provision for their removal or modification satisfactory to Purchaser is not made.  In such case, the Closing Date shall be extended for up to ten (10) days in order for Purchaser and Seller to determine if such exception can be resolved and to give Purchaser the opportunity to terminate this Agreement and receive a refund of the Earnest Money if the exception is not removed.

3.3.          Permitted Exceptions and Endorsements.  “Permitted Exceptions” means the following exceptions approved or deemed approved by Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement: real estate taxes not yet due and payable; and the exceptions approved (or deemed approved) by Purchaser pursuant to the terms of Section 3.2 above.  For the avoidance of doubt, (a) Permitted Exceptions exclude any exceptions to title that Seller is obligated to remove, or that Seller has agreed to remove or cure or use reasonable efforts to remove or cure (provided, however, in the event Seller fails to successfully remove such items, (i) such failure shall not constitute a default by Seller under this Agreement, and (ii) Purchaser shall have the right to terminate this Agreement and receive a refund of the Earnest Money), and (b) the general exceptions in the Preliminary Title Report will be removed upon issuance of the ALTA extended coverage title policy to be issued in this transaction and are not Permitted Exceptions.  “Purchaser’s Endorsements” shall mean, to the extent such endorsements are available under the laws of the state in which the Property is located and to the extent available under the applicable circumstances:  (1) owner’s comprehensive; (2) access; (3) survey (accuracy of survey); (4) location (survey legal matches title legal); (5) separate tax lot; (6) subdivision map act; (7) zoning 3.1, with parking and loading docks; (8) mechanic’s lien; (9) deletion of creditors’ rights exception; (10) endorsement over environmental protection liens; (11) utilities endorsement; and (12) such other endorsements as Purchaser may reasonably require during the Due Diligence Period based on its review of the Preliminary Title Report and Survey.

3.4.          ALTA Statement.  Seller shall execute at Closing an ALTA Statement (Owner’s Affidavit) pertaining to Seller’s ownership or possession of the Property and any other documents, undertakings or agreements customarily and reasonably required by the Title Company to enable it to issue the Title Policy (as defined in Section 6.2(g) hereof) in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.

ARTICLE 4.   OPERATIONS AND RISK OF LOSS

4.1.          Ongoing Operations.  During the pendency of this Agreement up to and through the Closing Date:

(a)           Operation of Property.  Seller shall cause the Property to be operated only in the ordinary and usual course of business and consistent with past practice, shall, subject to reasonable wear and tear, maintain the Property, shall perform its obligations under agreements affecting the Property and shall not take any action or omission which would cause any of the representations or warranties of Seller contained herein to become inaccurate or any of the covenants of Seller to be breached.

(b)           Maintenance of Insurance.  Seller shall continue to carry its existing insurance through the Closing Date, and shall not terminate or cancel any such insurance policies or agreements nor shall Seller allow any such insurance to lapse or be cancelled without procuring equivalent coverage from another insurer.

(c)           Leasing Arrangements.  Seller will not enter into any leases and subleases of space or other occupancy agreements affecting the Fee Improvements or the Building F Property without Purchaser’s prior written consent in each instance; provided, however, that prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, Purchaser’s consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller may amend the Existing Building F Sublease for the purposes of extending or otherwise modifying the terms thereof.

(d)           Maintenance of Permits.  Seller shall maintain in existence all licenses, permits and approvals, if any, in its name necessary or reasonably appropriate to the ownership, operation or improvement of the Property.

(e)           Exclusive Negotiations.  Seller shall: (i) remove the Property from the market, and (ii) not actively solicit or negotiate with any other prospective purchasers of the Fee Property or Seller’s interest in the Existing Building F Lease.

(f)            Tax Claims.  Seller will not settle or compromise any tax claims or assessments with the County Assessor with respect to the Property.

4.2.          Fee Property.

(a)           Damage.  All risk of loss with respect to the Fee Property shall remain with Seller until the Closing and delivery of the Deed (as defined below) vesting title in Purchaser, when full risk of loss with respect to the Fee Property shall pass to Purchaser.  Seller shall promptly give Purchaser written notice of any damage to the Fee Property if the cost to repair such damage, as reasonably estimated by Seller, exceeds Five Thousand Dollars ($5,000), describing such damage, whether such damage is covered by insurance and the estimated cost of repairing such damage.  If non-material damage occurs, then the parties shall proceed to close this transaction, and Seller shall, to the extent possible, begin repairs prior to the Closing out of any insurance proceeds received by Seller for the damage, and shall transfer and assign any

9




remaining insurance proceeds or rights thereto to Purchaser at the Closing (subject to the Seller’s right under the New Leases to use such insurance proceeds for the cost of such repairs).  To the extent any damage is material (as defined below), Purchaser may elect (in its sole discretion) by notice to Seller given within ten (10) days after Purchaser is notified of such damage (and the Closing shall be extended, if necessary, to give Purchaser such ten (10) day period to respond to such notice) to proceed in the same manner as in the case of damage that is not material or to terminate this Agreement.  If Purchaser terminates this Agreement after material damage occurs, the Earnest Money shall be returned to Purchaser.  Damage as to any one or multiple occurrences is material if the cost to repair the damage, as reasonably estimated by Seller’s contractor (if Seller has engaged a contractor to perform the work), and otherwise by a contractor approved by both Purchaser and Seller, acting reasonably, exceeds Seven Hundred and Fifty Thousand Dollars ($750,000).  An affiliate of Seller may be engaged as Seller’s contractor, provided Seller discloses the relationship of such affiliate to Purchaser.

(b)           Condemnation.  Seller shall promptly give Purchaser notice of any eminent domain proceedings that are, to Seller’s knowledge, instituted, contemplated or threatened, with respect to the Fee Property.  By notice to Seller given within ten (10) days after Purchaser receives notice of proceedings in eminent domain that are contemplated, threatened or instituted by any body having the power of eminent domain with respect to the Fee Property, and if necessary the Closing Date shall be extended to give Purchaser the full ten (10) day period to make such election, Purchaser may (i) terminate this Agreement, in which event the Earnest Money shall be returned to Purchaser, or (ii) proceed under this Agreement, in which event Seller shall, at the Closing, assign to Purchaser its entire right, title and interest in and to any condemnation award (subject to Purchaser’s obligation under the New Leases to use the condemnation award to restore the Fee Property), and Purchaser shall have the right during the pendency of this Agreement (in consultation with Seller) to negotiate and otherwise deal with the condemning authority in respect of such matter.

4.3.          Building F Property

(a)           Damage.  All risk of loss with respect to the Building F Property shall remain with the Building F Owner until the Building F Closing and delivery of a deed vesting title in Purchaser, when full risk of loss with respect to the Building F Property shall pass to Purchaser.  Seller shall promptly give Purchaser written notice of any damage to the Building F Property to the extent known to Seller, if the cost to repair such damage, as reasonably estimated by Seller, exceeds Fifteen Thousand Dollars ($15,000).  Such notice shall describe, to the extent known to Seller, the scope of such damage, whether such damage is covered by insurance and the estimated cost of repairing such damage. With respect to any damage that is not material (as defined below), the parties shall proceed to close on the Building F Property, and Seller shall, to the extent required under Section 9 of the Existing Building F Lease, begin repairs prior to the Building F Closing out of any insurance proceeds received by Seller for the damage, and Seller shall transfer and assign any remaining insurance proceeds or rights thereto to Purchaser at the Building F Closing (subject to Seller’s right under the Building F Lease to use such insurance proceeds for cost of such repairs).  To the extent any damage is material, Purchaser may elect (in its sole discretion) by notice to Seller given within ten (10) days after Purchaser is notified of such damage (provided that such notice period shall not extend the Building F Closing Date) to

(c)           Fee Building Leases.  As of the date hereof, there are no leases affecting the Fee Buildings.  There are no leasing or other fees or commissions due, nor will any become due, in connection with any previous leases affecting the Fee Buildings, nor under any understanding or agreement with any party as to payment of any leasing commissions or fees regarding future leases or as to the procuring of tenants.

(d)           Building F Leases.  As of the date hereof, the only tenants or occupants under any leases or occupancy agreements affecting Building F are Seller under the Existing Building F Lease, the Existing Building F Subtenant under the Existing Building F Sublease and any other tenant under a lease in which the Building F Owner is the landlord.  The Existing Building F Lease and the Existing Building F Sublease that are delivered to Purchaser pursuant

to Section 2.1 are, or at the time they are delivered to Purchaser will be, true, correct and complete copies of the Existing Building F Lease and the Existing Building F Sublease, including any and all amendments or supplements thereto, and guaranties or other security in connection therewith.  The Existing Building F Lease is in full force and effect (other than in connection with the exercise of the Building F Option), free from default and free from any event which could become a default on the part of the Seller under the Existing Building F Lease and Seller has no claims against the Building F Owner or offsets or defenses against rent, and there are no disputes with the Building F Owner.  Seller is not aware of any default or breach on the part of the landlord under the Existing Building F Lease.  Seller has not assigned the Existing Building F Lease or sublet any part of its premises (other than to the Building F Subtenant).  The Building F Sublease is in full force and effect, Seller has not received any notice of any default or breach on the part of the landlord under the Existing Building F Sublease.  All of the landlord’s obligations to construct tenant improvements or reimburse the tenants for tenant improvements under the Existing Building F Lease and the Existing Building F Sublease have been paid and performed in full and all concessions from the landlord under the Existing Building F Lease and the Existing Building F Sublease have been paid and performed in full.

(e)           Legal Compliance.  Seller has all material licenses, permits and certificates necessary for its use of the Property, including, without limitation, all certificates of occupancy necessary for its lawful occupancy of the Property.  Seller has received no written notice from any governmental authority that the Property or the use thereof violates any governmental law or regulation or any covenants or restrictions encumbering the Property which has not been corrected.  To Seller’s knowledge, Seller has not received any written notices of violations or alleged violations of any laws, rules, regulations or codes, including building codes, with respect to the Property which have not been corrected.

(f)            Environmental.  To Seller’s knowledge, it has received no notice from any governmental authority of any violation of Environmental Laws related to the Property or the presence or release of Hazardous Materials on or from the Property in violation of Environmental Laws except as may be disclosed by the Phase One / Phase Two Environmental Assessments delivered to Seller pursuant to Section 2.1 which has not been corrected pursuant to Section 2.1 or which has not otherwise been corrected.  Neither Seller nor, to Seller’s knowledge, any tenant or other occupant (other than tenants (other than Seller) under leases in which the Building F Owner is the landlord), has used the Property or any part thereof for the release, generation, treatment, storage, handling or disposal of any Hazardous Materials, in violation of any Environmental Laws (other than violations of Environmental Laws which have been corrected or cured to the satisfaction of such governmental authority).  To Seller’s knowledge, there is only one underground storage tank located on the Property.  Seller has properly permitted or monitored such underground storage tank as required by applicable law.  The term “Environmental Laws” includes without limitation the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act and the Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act and other federal laws governing the environment as in effect on the date of this Agreement, together with their implementing regulations, guidelines, rules or orders as of the date of this Agreement, and all state, regional, county, municipal and other local laws, regulations, ordinances, rules or orders that are equivalent or similar to the federal laws recited above or that purport to regulate Hazardous Materials.  The term “Hazardous Materials” includes petroleum,

24




including crude oil or any fraction thereof, natural gas, natural gas liquids, liquefied natural gas, or synthetic gas usable for fuel (or mixtures of natural gas or such synthetic gas), and any substance, material, waste, pollutant or contaminant listed or defined as hazardous or toxic under any Environmental Law.

(g)           Withholding Obligation.  Seller’s sale of the Property is not subject to any federal, state or local withholding obligation of Purchaser under the tax laws applicable to Seller or the Property.

(h)           Disclosure.  Other than this Agreement, the documents delivered at Closing pursuant hereto, the Permitted Exceptions, and the Fee Service Contracts, there are no contracts or agreements of any kind relating to the Property to which Seller or its agents is a party and which would be binding on Purchaser after Closing.  Copies of Property Information delivered to Seller pursuant to Section 2.1 hereof are or will be true, correct and complete copies thereof.

(i)            ERISA.  Seller is not and is not acting on behalf of an “employee benefit plan” within the meaning of Section 3(3) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, a “plan” within the meaning of Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended or an entity deemed to hold “plan assets” within the meaning of 29 C.F.R. § 2510.3-101 of any such employee benefit plan or plans.

Where used in this Section 11.1, the phrase “Seller’s knowledge” shall refer to the personal knowledge of Robert Hoffman and Steven W. Spector only, without any duty of further investigation or inquiry, who are the Chief Financial Officer and Senior Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary, respectively, of Seller, and each of whom is knowledgeable about the condition of the Property.

11.2.        Purchaser’s Representations and Warranties.  As a material inducement to Seller to execute this Agreement and consummate this transaction, Purchaser represents and warrants to Seller that:

(a)           Organization and Authority.  Purchaser has been duly organized and is validly existing as a Maryland limited partnership, and is in good standing as a Maryland limited partnership.  Purchaser will be in good standing and will be qualified to do business in the state in which the Land is located on the Closing Date.  Subject only to obtaining certain internal approvals on or before the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, Purchaser has the full right and authority and has obtained any and all consents required to enter into this Agreement and to consummate or cause to be consummated the transactions contemplated hereby.  This Agreement has been, and all of the documents to be delivered by Purchaser at the Closing will be, authorized and properly executed and constitutes, or will constitute, as appropriate, the valid and binding obligations of Purchaser, enforceable in accordance with their terms.

(b)           Conflicts and Pending Action.  There is no agreement to which Purchaser is a party or to Purchaser’s knowledge binding on Purchaser which is in conflict with this Agreement, or which challenges or impairs Purchaser’s ability to execute or perform its obligations under this Agreement.  To Purchaser’s knowledge, there is no action or proceeding

25




pending or threatened against Purchaser which challenges or impairs Purchaser’s ability to execute or perform its obligations under this Agreement.

(c)           “As-Is” Purchase.  Purchaser is an experienced commercial real estate owner and, except as set forth in this Agreement or in any document executed at Closing pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement, shall rely solely upon its own evaluation and investigation of the condition and all aspects of the Property, including, without limitation, (i) the nature, quality and condition of the Property, including soils, geology and environmental conditions, (ii) the value of the Property and the income to be derived from the Property, (iii) the compliance of the Property with governmental laws and regulations, (iv) any conditions pertaining to the ownership, development or operation of the Property which are imposed by any governmental authority or other third party, (v) the square footage of the building improvements and other size characteristics of the Property and (vi) any and all other matters with respect to the Property.  Purchaser acknowledges that this Agreement grants to Purchaser the opportunity to fully evaluate the condition and all aspects of the Property.  Purchaser has asked for, and has obtained in this Agreement, disclosure of information and documents regarding the Property which is in Seller’s possession or control.  Accordingly, except to the extent that Seller fraudulently or intentionally conceals or makes misrepresentations as to the condition or suitability of the Property, except for Seller’s representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement and the warranties set forth in any closing documents delivered to Purchaser from Seller and except for conditions that are Seller’s responsibility under the New Leases, Purchaser acknowledges that it is not relying upon any representations of Seller as to the condition of the Property or its suitability for Purchaser’s intended use.  Subject to the foregoing, in the event Purchaser does not terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 2.2 above, Purchaser shall be deemed to accept the Property “as is” in all respects.

Purchaser further agrees and acknowledges that, in purchasing the Property, Purchaser shall rely entirely on its own investigation, examination and inspection of the Property and its analysis and evaluation of the Property Information made available by Seller to Purchaser pursuant to Section 2.1 hereof, and, except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, not upon any representation or warranty of Seller, or any agent or representative of Seller.  THEREFORE, PURCHASER AGREES THAT, IN CONSUMMATING THE PURCHASE OF THE PROPERTY PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT, PURCHASER SHALL ACQUIRE THE PROPERTY IN ITS THEN CONDITION, “AS IS, WHERE IS” AND WITH ALL FAULTS AND SOLELY IN RELIANCE ON PURCHASER’S OWN INVESTIGATION, EXAMINATION, INSPECTION, ANALYSIS AND EVALUATION OF THE PROPERTY.  The agreements and acknowledgments contained in this Section 11.2(c) constitute a conclusive admission that Purchaser, as a sophisticated, knowledgeable investor in real property, shall acquire the Property solely upon its own judgment as to any matter germane to the Property or to Purchaser’s contemplated use of the Property, and not upon any statement, representation or warranty by Seller, or any agent or representative of Seller, which is not expressly set forth in this Agreement.

11.3.        Survival of Representations and Warranties.  The representations and warranties set forth in this Article 11 are made as of the Effective Date and are remade as of the Closing Date, and such representations and warranties (and any representations and warranties in any

26




other documents delivered to Purchaser pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement) shall not be deemed to be merged into or waived by the instruments of Closing, but shall survive for a period of one (1) year after the Closing Date.

ARTICLE 12.   MISCELLANEOUS

12.1.        Parties Bound.  Neither party may assign this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other, and any such prohibited assignment shall be void; provided, however, that, Purchaser may assign this Agreement without Seller’s consent, but upon five (5) business days prior written notice, to an Affiliate (including without limitation BioMed Realty Trust, Inc. or BMR-6114-6154 Nancy Ridge Drive LLC).  Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the respective legal representatives, successors, assigns, heirs, and devisees of the parties.  In the event of any such assignment, the transferee must expressly assume all of the obligations hereunder of Purchaser.  For the purposes of this paragraph, the term “Affiliate” means (i) an entity that directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by or is under common control with Purchaser, (ii) a partnership or other entity in which Purchaser or an entity described in (i) is a partner or other owner, or (iii) an entity that acquires substantially all of the assets or stock of Purchaser; and the term “control” means the power to direct the management of such entity through voting rights, ownership or contractual obligations.

12.2.        Headings.  The article and paragraph headings of this Agreement are for convenience only and in no way limit or enlarge the scope or meaning of the language hereof.

12.3.        Expenses.  Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, each party hereto shall pay its own expenses incident to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereunder, including all legal and accounting fees and disbursements.

12.4.        Invalidity and Waiver.  If any portion of this Agreement is held invalid or inoperative, then so far as is reasonable and possible the remainder of this Agreement shall be deemed valid and operative, and, to the greatest extent legally possible, effect shall be given to the intent manifested by the portion held invalid or inoperative.  The failure by either party to enforce against the other any term or provision of this Agreement shall not be deemed to be a waiver of such party’s right to enforce against the other party the same or any other such term or provision in the future.

12.5.        Governing Law.  This Agreement shall, in all respects, be governed, construed, applied, and enforced in accordance with the law of the state in which the Land is located.

12.6.        Survival.  Except as otherwise provided herein (e.g., Sections 1.2, 1.3.2, 1.3.3, 2.2, 2.3, 4.3, 5, 11.3 and 12.17), the provisions of this Agreement and the obligations of the parties not fully performed at the Closing shall survive the Closing for one year and shall not be deemed to be merged into or waived by the instruments of Closing.  Any claim for performance of an obligation after Closing shall be barred and shall lapse unless a claim is made in writing, with a description of the claim made, on or before the first anniversary of Closing.

27




12.7.        No Third Party Beneficiary.  This Agreement is not intended to give or confer any benefits, rights, privileges, claims, actions, or remedies to any person or entity as a third party beneficiary, decree, or otherwise.

12.8.        Entirety and Amendments.  This Agreement and the Confidential Disclosure Agreement by and between Seller and Purchaser dated December 5, 2005, as amended by that certain Amendment to Confidential Disclosure Agreement dated as of October 19, 2006, embodies the entire agreement between the parties and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings relating to the Property.  This Agreement may be amended or supplemented only in writing by a non-electronic instrument executed by the party against whom enforcement is sought.  For the avoidance of doubt, copies of signed instruments that are electronically transmitted constitute a writing for this purpose.

12.9.        Time of the Essence.  Time is of the essence in the performance of this Agreement.

12.10.      Time.  All times, whenever specified herein, shall be local time in San Diego, California.

12.11.      Press Release.  Until the Closing, neither Seller nor Purchaser will release or cause or permit to be released any press notices, or publicity (oral or written) or advertising promotion relating to, or otherwise announce or disclose or cause or permit to be announced or disclosed, in any manner whatsoever, the terms, conditions or substance of this Agreement without first obtaining the written consent of the other party except those disclosures that are required by law or regulation, including in a Form 8-K or otherwise required by the Securities Exchange Commission or NASDAQ, or contractual obligation (in which case notice shall be timely provided to the other party of such requirement and disclosure).  The foregoing shall not preclude either party from discussing the substance or any relevant details of such transactions with any of its attorneys, accountants, professional consultants, lenders, partners, investors, or any prospective lender, partner or investor, as the case may be, or prevent either party hereto, from complying with laws, rules, regulations and court orders, including without limitation, governmental regulatory, disclosure, tax and reporting requirements, or from making disclosures in the ordinary course of its due diligence inspections and contacts with third parties related thereto.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, any party to this transaction (and each employee, agent or representative of the foregoing) may disclose to any and all persons, without limitation of any kind, the tax treatment and tax structure of the transaction and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to them relating to such tax treatment and tax structure except to the extent maintaining such confidentiality is necessary to comply with any applicable federal or state securities laws.  The authorization in the preceding sentence is not intended to permit disclosure of any other information unrelated to the tax treatment and tax structure of the transaction including (without limitation) (i) any portion of the transaction documents or related materials to the extent not related to the tax treatment or tax structure of the transaction, (ii) the existence or status of any negotiations unrelated to the tax issues, or (iii) any other term or detail not relevant to the tax treatment or the tax structure of the transaction.

28




12.12.      Attorneys’ Fees.  Should either party employ attorneys to enforce any of the provisions hereof, the non-prevailing party agrees to pay the prevailing party all reasonable costs, charges, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, expended or incurred by the prevailing party in connection therewith, whether incurred prior to, during or subsequent to any bankruptcy, receivership, reorganization, appellate, or other legal proceeding.

12.13.      Notices.  All notices required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and shall be served on the parties at the addresses set forth in Exhibit M.  Any such notices shall be either (i) sent by overnight delivery using a nationally recognized overnight courier, in which case notice shall be deemed delivered one business day after deposit with such courier, (ii) sent by facsimile on a business day, in which case notice shall be deemed delivered upon transmission of such notice with confirmed receipt by the sender’s machine, or (iii) sent by personal delivery, in which case notice shall be deemed delivered upon receipt or refusal of delivery.  A party’s address may be changed by written notice to the other party; provided, however, that no notice of a change of address shall be effective until actual receipt of such notice.  Copies of notices are for informational purposes only, and a failure to give or receive copies of any notice shall not be deemed a failure to give notice.  The attorney for a party has the authority to send notices on behalf of such party.

12.14.      Construction.  The parties acknowledge that the parties and their counsel have reviewed and revised this Agreement and that the normal rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall not be employed in the interpretation of this Agreement or any exhibits or amendments hereto.

12.15.      Remedies Cumulative.  Except as expressly provided to the contrary in this Agreement, the remedies provided in this Agreement shall be cumulative and shall not preclude the assertion or exercise of any other rights or remedies available by law, in equity or otherwise.

12.16.      Calculation of Time Periods.  Unless otherwise specified, in computing any period of time described herein, the day of the act or event after which the designated period of time begins to run is not to be included and the last day of the period so computed is to be included, unless such last day is a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday for national banks in the location where the Property is located, in which event the period shall run until the end of the next day which is neither a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday.  The last day of any period of time described herein and the time during any day by which an event must occur shall be deemed to end at 5 p.m. pacific time.

12.17.      Public Company Requirements.  Upon Purchaser’s request, for a period of two (2) years after Closing, Seller shall make any books and records of the Property (pertaining to Seller’s improvement, ownership, maintenance and/or repair of the Property) remaining in possession of Seller (other than Seller’s Personal Documents) available to Purchaser for inspection, copying and audit by Purchaser’s designated accountants, and at Purchaser’s expense.  Seller shall provide Purchaser, but without third-party expense to Seller, with copies of, or access to, such factual information in connection with this Agreement and/or the Property as may be reasonably requested by Purchaser (other than Seller’s Personal Documents), and in the

29




possession or control of Seller, to enable Purchaser to comply with applicable filing requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

12.18.      Execution in Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, and all of such counterparts shall constitute one agreement.  To facilitate execution of this Agreement, the parties may execute and exchange by telephone facsimile counterparts of the signature pages.

12.19.      Further Assurances.  In addition to the acts and deeds recited herein and contemplated to be performed, executed or delivered by either party at Closing, each party agrees to perform, execute and deliver, on or after the Closing any further actions, documents, and will obtain such consents, as may be reasonably necessary or as may be reasonably requested to fully effectuate the purposes, terms and conditions of this Agreement or to further perfect the conveyance, transfer and assignment of the Property to Purchaser.

12.20.      Approval.  To the extent any approval or consent shall be required in this Agreement such approval or consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, unless the terms of and conditions of such approval or consent are to the sole discretion of such party.
