Title

Section 3.1. Status of Title. Subject to the terms and provisions of this Agreement, Seller shall sell, convey, assign and transfer good and marketable title to Seller’s interest in the Property to Purchaser, and Purchaser shall purchase, accept and assume the same, subject only to the Permitted Exceptions.

Section 3.2. Title Insurance Policy; Objections to Title.

(a) Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that (i) Purchaser has received from Seller a copy of the Existing Title Policy and the Existing Survey relating to the Real Property and that Purchaser independently obtained the Pro Forma Policy, (ii) Purchaser or Purchaser’s attorneys have reviewed the Existing Title Policy, the Pro Forma Policy and the Existing Survey and (iii) Purchaser hereby confirms to Seller that Purchaser has no objections to any title exceptions or survey matters revealed by the Pro Forma Policy. Purchaser hereby waives its right to object to any liens, encumbrances or other title exceptions appearing on the Pro Forma Policy. In addition, Purchaser shall not be entitled to object to, and shall be deemed to have approved, any liens, encumbrances or other title exceptions (and the same shall be deemed Permitted Exceptions) (A) which the Title Company is willing to omit as exceptions to title, (B) against or over which the Title Company is willing to provide affirmative insurance satisfactory to Purchaser in its reasonable discretion, or (C) which will be extinguished upon the transfer of the Property to Purchaser (collectively, the “Non-Objectionable Encumbrances”).

(b) It is expressly understood that in no event shall Seller be required to bring any action or institute any proceeding, or to otherwise incur any costs or expenses, in order to cause title to the Property to be in accordance with the terms of this Agreement on the Closing Date and that Purchaser hereby agrees to accept title to the Property subject to the Permitted Exceptions and as otherwise provided in the Pro Forma Policy. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall be obligated to remove (i) any mortgage (a “Mortgage”) which affects the Property which was created by Seller except in connection with the Loan Documents, (ii) all judgment liens and all tax liens due and payable by Seller, and (iii) all mechanics liens affecting the Property, in each case which were voluntarily caused or created by Seller (as opposed to, for example, by a Tenant) (the items in this clause (iii), collectively, “Monetary Liens”); provided, however, that Seller shall not have the obligation to remove any of such Monetary Liens unless such Monetary Lien is in an ascertainable, fixed amount, and the cost of removing the same (by bonding or otherwise), together with all other Monetary Liens, shall not exceed an aggregate amount of $10,000,000 (the “Monetary Lien Cap Amount”). The Monetary Lien Cap Amount excludes any Monetary Liens arising from the Bain Lease Obligations. If Seller is required to remove a Monetary Lien pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, Seller shall be entitled to postpone the Closing for a period of up to thirty (30) days in order to endeavor to remove such Monetary Lien and to use any portion of the Cash Balance to the extent necessary to remove and satisfy same at Closing or to cause same to be omitted by the Title Company as an exception to coverage. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Title Company is willing to insure over such Mortgage or Monetary Lien by either providing for an indemnity or an escrow, or otherwise, then Seller shall not be required to remove such Mortgage or Monetary Lien. If a Monetary Lien can be removed (by bonding or otherwise) but Seller elects not to remove it, or cause it to be removed, because the cost of removing the same, or the associated liability to the bonding company, plus the cost of obtaining the bond, exceeds the Monetary Lien Cap Amount, then Purchaser may, at Purchaser’s sole discretion, either proceed to the Closing and accept a credit against the Purchase Price of up to the Monetary Lien Cap Amount (but without any other modifications to this Agreement) or terminate this Agreement upon five (5) Business Days (or less if Seller’s election occurs within five (5) Business Days before the Closing) prior written notice and receive a refund of the Deposit, whereupon the

- 13 -

parties shall have no further rights or obligations hereunder except for the Effective Date Surviving Obligations. If the cost of removing any Monetary Lien(s), in the aggregate, is less than the Monetary Lien Cap Amount, Seller shall, at its sole option, either remove such item or give to Purchaser a credit against the Purchase Price in an amount equal to the reasonable cost to remove same (up to the Monetary Lien Cap Amount).

(d) In no event shall any lien, encumbrance or other exception arising as a result of any act or omission of Purchaser or anyone acting on behalf of Purchaser be deemed a title objection.

(e) Purchaser agrees to purchase the Property subject to any and all notes or notices of violations of any Legal Requirement noted in or issued by any governmental authority prior to or, subject to the provisions of this Section 3.2(e), after the Effective Date (individually, a “Violation” and collectively, “Violations”), and/or any lien, penalty or fine imposed in connection with any of the foregoing, and/or any condition or state of repair or disrepair and/or other matter or thing, whether or not noted, which, if noted, would result in a Violation being placed on the Property. Seller shall have no duty to remove or comply with or repair or disrepair any condition, matter or thing, relating to a Violation placed on the Property on or prior to the Effective Date. For any Violation first placed on the Property after the Effective Date (a “Post-Effective Date Violation”), (i) Seller shall remove or comply with or repair any such Post-Effective Date Violation, together with any associated liens, penalties or fines or other conditions on or prior to Closing, if the cost of such Violation and all other Violations arising after the Effective Date is $1,000,000 or less (the “Violation Cap Amount”) and (ii) if the cost of such Post-Effective Date Violation and all other Post-Effective Date Violations exceeds the Violation Cap Amount, Seller shall have right, exercisable by written notice to Purchaser delivered within three Business Days after receiving actual notice of such Post-Effective Date Violation(s) that exceed the Violation Cap Amount, to elect not to remove or comply with or repair any such Post-Effective Date Violations, and if Seller elects to proceed under clause (ii), then Purchaser shall have the right, by written notice delivered within three Business Days after its receipt of Seller’s election, to either (A) accept the Property subject to all Post-Effective Date Violations and all liens, penalties or fines associated therewith and accept a credit to the Purchase Price in the amount of the Violation Cap Amount as its sole and exclusive remedy or (B) terminate this Agreement and receive a return of the Deposit, whereupon the parties shall have no further rights or obligations hereunder except for the Effective Date Surviving Obligations.

(f) Purchaser shall obtain at its expense the Owner’s Policy and endorsements to the Loan Policy referenced in Section 5.1 from the Title Company and agrees that Commonwealth and its affiliates shall have the right to directly co-insure 50% of such policies so long as (i) Commonwealth and its affiliates agree (A) to match the premium that is being charged by the Title Company for such policies and (B) to match the quality and level of coverage, including any coverage provided by endorsements or affirmative coverage, that is being provided by the Title Company and (ii) such coverage to be provided by Commonwealth and its affiliates is apportioned among Commonwealth and its affiliates as follows: Commonwealth: (15%), Chicago Title Insurance (20%) and Fidelity National Title Insurance Company (15%). If one of the Title Company or Commonwealth are unable or unwilling to issue the policies (including with respect to eliminating any exceptions relating to the mezzanine loan foreclosure) in the form required by this Agreement and subject to the provisions set forth in the preceding sentence but the other is so able and willing, the able and willing title insurer shall be entitled, and Purchaser shall be obligated to obtain, 100% of the policies from such able and willing title insurer.

In addition, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Purchaser may disclose any portion of the Confidential Information that is generally available to the public, other than any portion of the Confidential Information that becomes available to the public as a result of a previous disclosure by Purchaser in violation of this Agreement.

(c) If this Agreement is terminated, (i) Purchaser shall promptly deliver to Seller all the Confidential Information (or portions thereof requested by Seller) which is in tangible form, including any copies Purchaser has made and other embodiments thereof, and (ii) Purchaser shall destroy all extracts, summaries and compilations thereof and references thereto which are in Purchaser’s notes, documents, databases or other records (whether prepared by Purchaser or by Seller), and in either case Purchaser will certify to Seller by written affidavit that, to the best of its knowledge, information and belief, it has done so.

(d) Purchaser acknowledges that the Confidential Information is of a special, unique, unusual, extraordinary and intellectual character and that Seller’s interest in the Confidential Information may be irreparably injured by disclosure of such Confidential Information in violation of this Agreement.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall Purchaser have any liability for indirect, consequential or punitive damages.

(e) Except as provided otherwise in this Section 4.2, Purchaser and Seller, for the benefit of each other, hereby agree that neither of them will release or cause or permit to be released to the public (which each party agrees does not include the direct or indirect partners or prospective investors in each of the funds that indirectly own Seller) any press notices, publicity (oral or written) or advertising promotion relating to, or otherwise publicly announce or disclose or cause or permit to be publicly announced or disclosed, in any manner whatsoever, the names of Seller and Purchaser respectively, or any of their affiliates or subsidiaries, the terms, conditions or substance of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated herein, without first obtaining the consent of the other party hereto, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. Seller, being aware that the securities of Boston Properties, Inc. (“BPI”), the owner, directly or indirectly, of a controlling interest in Purchaser, are traded on the New York Stock Exchange, acknowledges that Purchaser and BPI may be compelled by legal requirements to issue a public press release announcing that it has entered into this Agreement and stating the material terms hereof.

Section 4.3. Reporting. In the event that Purchaser’s due diligence reveals any condition of the Property that in Purchaser’s judgment requires disclosure to any governmental agency or authority, Purchaser shall immediately notify Seller thereof. In such event, Seller, and not Purchaser or anyone acting on Purchaser’s behalf, shall make such disclosures as Seller deems appropriate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that Purchaser is required to disclose the discovered condition by law, regulation or stock exchange rule or pursuant to a subpoena, court order or other legal proceeding, Purchaser may do so but shall first notify Seller (both by telephone and in writing) within two (2) Business Days of its actual knowledge of such legally required disclosure.

From and after the Effective Date, Seller shall request and endeavor to obtain from each Tenant and from the parties to the Declaration and to the Hancock License Agreement an estoppel certificate, in forms required by the applicable Leases or such documents or otherwise as mutually and reasonably agreed to between Seller and Purchaser. Notwithstanding such request, (a) the receipt of one or more estoppel certificates shall not be a condition precedent to Purchaser’s performance under this Agreement, (b) no claim by any Tenant or other party disclosed on a returned estoppel certificate shall give rise to any liability of Seller under this Agreement or otherwise or excuse Purchaser’s performance under this Agreement (except as provided below in this Section 4.4) and (c) Seller shall have absolutely no liability under this Agreement or otherwise to obtain any estoppel certificates. If an estoppel is received by Seller or Purchaser (including after the Closing Date), the matters certified to by the Tenant or the other party delivering such estoppel (the “Estoppel Matters”) shall, with respect to the Seller Representations covered by such Estoppel Matters, have the following effect: (i) to the extent the Estoppel Matters confirm the Seller Representations, the Estoppel Matters shall be removed from the related Seller Representations from and after the date of Purchaser’s receipt of the related estoppel and (ii) to the extent the Estoppel Matters allege matters that would, if true, result in a breach of the Seller Representations, such Estoppel Matters shall not remove the related Seller Representations and, to the extent that a breach does in fact exist, the parties shall have available the rights and remedies with respect thereto as set forth in Article 9.

(c) Seller shall have received all Required Consents (unless receipt of one or more of such consents is waived by Purchaser pursuant to the provisions of Section 5.1(d)) in accordance with and as more particularly set forth in Section 5.7; and

(d) Seller shall have received confirmation from Escrow Agent that it has received the payment of the Cash Balance from Purchaser in accordance with Section 2.2 hereof, and any other amounts due to Seller from Purchaser hereunder, and that Escrow Agent is in possession of written authorization from Purchaser to disburse such funds to or at the direction of Seller at Closing.

Section 5.3. Risk of Loss.

In the event that, prior to the Closing Date, all or a portion of the Improvements should be damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty such that (y) Seller’s reasonable estimate of the cost to repair the same exceeds $100,000,000 or (z) Existing Lender is not obligated to release the insurance proceeds for reconstruction of the Property (it being agreed that if Existing Lender is obligated to release such proceeds subject to the satisfaction of the requirements for release set forth in Section 7.4 of the Loan Agreement forming part of the Loan Documents, then Existing Lender shall be deemed to be

- 19 -

obligated to release such proceeds for the purposes of this Section 5.3(z)) (any such casualty, a “Material Casualty”), Purchaser may, at Purchaser’s sole option, elect to either:

(a) terminate this Agreement and receive a refund of the Deposit; or

(b) close the transaction contemplated by this Agreement as provided below.

In the event of a fire or other casualty that is not a Material Casualty, or if there is a Material Casualty and Purchaser elects to proceed to Closing pursuant to Section 5.3(b), (i) Purchaser shall purchase the Property in accordance with the terms hereof (without reduction in the Purchase Price other than a credit for any applicable deductible in Seller’s insurance policy) and (ii) Seller shall assign to Purchaser at Closing all insurance proceeds payable on account of such damage (net of collection costs and costs of repair incurred by Seller and not then reimbursed, which costs shall be disclosed to Purchaser before it makes its election under this Section 5.3). With respect to any Material Casualty, Purchaser shall be deemed to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 5.3(a) unless, within ten (10) days from receipt of notice of such Material Casualty, Purchaser provides Seller with written notice that Purchaser elects to proceed under Section 5.3(b).

Section 5.4. Condemnation. In the event that, prior to the Closing Date, all or a material portion of the Real Property should be condemned by right of eminent domain, such that (y) Seller’s reasonable estimate of the loss of value of the remaining Real Property exceeds $100,000,000 or (z) Existing Lender is not obligated to release the condemnation proceeds for reconstruction of the Property (it being agreed that if Existing Lender is obligated to release such proceeds subject to the satisfaction of the requirements for release set forth in Section 7.4 of the Loan Agreement forming part of the Loan Documents, then Existing Lender shall be deemed to be obligated to release such proceeds for the purposes of this Section 5.4(z)) (any such event, a “Material Taking”), Purchaser may, at Purchaser’s sole option, elect either to:

(a) terminate this Agreement and receive a refund of the Deposit; or

(b) close the transaction contemplated by this Agreement as provided below.

In the event of a condemnation by right of eminent domain that is not a Material Taking, or if there is a Material Taking and Purchaser elects to proceed to Closing under Section 5.4(b), Purchaser shall purchase the Property in accordance with the terms hereof (without reduction in the Purchase Price) and Seller shall assign to Purchaser at Closing all condemnation proceeds payable as a result of such condemnation (net of collection costs and costs of repair reasonably incurred by Seller and not then reimbursed, which costs shall be disclosed to Purchaser before it makes its election under this Section 5.4). With respect to any Material Taking, Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 5.4(a) unless, within ten (10) days from written notice of such Material Taking, Purchaser provides Seller with written notice that Purchaser elects to proceed under Section 5.4(b).

Section 5.5. Activities Prior to Closing. Prior to the Closing, Seller shall:

(a) not sell or further encumber all or any interest in the Property,

(b) give Purchaser prompt written notice of:

- 20 -

(i) (A) any casualty affecting all or any portion of the Property or (B) any other event of which other event Seller obtains actual knowledge which is specific to the Real Property and which either (1) constitutes a Material Adverse Effect or (2) Seller is otherwise obligated to notify Purchaser of pursuant to this Agreement,

(ii) any pending or threatened condemnation proceeding or material litigation affecting the Real Property of which Seller receives actual written notice,

(iii) any event or circumstance of which Seller has actual knowledge that makes any of Seller’s Representations under this Agreement materially untrue or incorrect,

(iv) all written notices and other written correspondence sent by a Seller Party to, or received by a Seller Party from, Existing Lender or Ground Lessor, and

(v) any other event required for Seller to comply with its obligations under this Section 5.5.

(d) continue to comply with its obligations under the Loan Documents, Leases (including, without limitation, the administration of tenant improvement or other work to be performed by the landlord thereunder), Contracts and all other agreements of Seller, including the obligation to pay all Tenant Costs under Leases as and when due under the applicable Leases and other agreements; provided, however, that to the extent such compliance causes Seller to expend funds for obligations that are Purchaser’s obligation to pay pursuant to this Agreement, such amounts shall be set forth on the Closing Statement and Seller shall receive a credit to the Purchase Price at Closing for such amounts. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for the sake of clarity, Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that Seller shall not be obligated to perform (i) the CSX rail-side of the garage façade work (for which Purchaser is receiving a credit at Closing as provided in Section 7.4) or (ii) any drainage or other work that Seller has not expressly agreed to perform pursuant to this Agreement. With respect to the tenant improvement work performed by the landlord under the Autonomy and Photon leases referenced in Schedule 6.2(l), to the extent the work to be performed by the landlord under either of such leases is not completed prior to Closing, Seller shall assign the construction contract and related agreements for such work to Purchaser, pursuant to assignment and assumption instruments reasonably acceptable to the parties.

(e) notify Purchaser and provide Purchaser with copies of any proposed Leases, renewals, terminations or material amendments to Leases for the Property and obtain the prior written consent of Purchaser (which, in the case of consents to be delivered under clause (iii) below, shall not be unreasonably withheld to the extent such enforcement action is in the ordinary course of enforcing Leases) before (i) issuing any non-binding proposals for proposed Leases, renewals, terminations or material amendments to Leases for the Property or responding to any such proposals, (ii) entering into any binding agreement or commitment to effectuate any such transactions or (iii) initiating any enforcement action against any Tenant.

(f) notify Purchaser and provide Purchaser with copies of any proposed billing statements for Tenants with respect to calendar year 2011 and obtain the prior written consent of Purchaser (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) before issuing such billing statements to the respective Tenants.

- 21 -

(g) send to Purchaser copies of weekly leasing activity reports and any material written notices sent by a Seller Party to, or received by a Seller Party with respect to, a Tenant, the Property or the Contracts.

(h) continue to diligently supervise the contractors to ensure the completion of the Lobby Work and the Cafe Work prior to the Closing Date, and invite and afford Purchaser and/or its representatives the opportunity (where practicable) to participate in all weekly meetings with contractors and otherwise afford Purchaser the opportunity (where practicable) to participate in such supervision and oversight as reasonably requested by Purchaser.

(i) continue to diligently supervise the progression of the Garage Work, the Chiller Work and the work described in Section 5.1(e) in accordance with Article 8, and invite and afford Purchaser and/or its representatives the opportunity (where practicable) to participate in all weekly meetings with contractors and otherwise afford Purchaser the opportunity (where practicable) to participate in such supervision and oversight as reasonably requested by Purchaser.

(j) continue to operate and maintain the Property in substantially the same manner as it has heretofore been operated and maintained by Seller during the Ownership Period.

Section 5.6. Payment of Taxes.

Seller shall be responsible for and shall pay when due all Taxes (unless otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement) levied with respect to the operations and/or assets of the Property attributable to any Tax period ending on or before the Closing Date unless such Taxes are being disputed by Seller in good faith in accordance with the Loan Documents and applicable law.

Section 5.7. Required Consents.

(a) Existing Loan. Subject to the provisions of this Section 5.7(a), Seller shall diligently and in good faith seek, and Purchaser shall diligently and in good faith cooperate with Seller and Existing Lender to assist Seller to obtain, the consent (“Lender Consent”) required under the Loan Documents to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the “Contemplated Transactions”). Purchaser and Seller agree to cooperate in good faith to obtain the Lender Consent and Purchaser agrees that Seller shall control the process but shall, in so doing, keep Purchaser and its counsel regularly informed and (where practicable) regularly involved in the process, including copying Purchaser and its counsel on all written notices delivered to Existing Lender and its counsel, and inviting and affording Purchaser and its counsel the opportunity to participate in all meetings and conference calls.

(i) Purchaser has received and reviewed the Loan Documents and has made its own independent decision with regard to the nature of the Required Consents required thereby as a result of the Contemplated Transactions and understands and agrees that Existing Lender has discretion to approve, and could disapprove, the Contemplated Transactions.

(ii) On or before the fifth Business Day after the Effective Date, Seller shall notify Existing Lender of the Contemplated Transactions and request that Existing Lender provide a list of Existing Lender’s requirements (the “Lender Requirements”) for the consummation of the loan assumption and Lender Consent. Seller’s notification to Existing Lender shall include a copy of this Agreement and a financial statement for the Substitute Guarantor proposed by Purchaser and a structure chart for Purchaser, Substitute Guarantor and their respective direct and indirect owners. Following such request, Seller and Purchaser, as applicable, shall promptly provide all information required to be delivered to Existing Lender in

- 22 -

connection with obtaining Lender Consent under the Loan Documents (including the proposed organizational documents for Purchaser and its constituent members or partners) and all other information reasonably requested by Existing Lender. Each of Purchaser and Seller shall use diligent efforts, and shall cooperate with each other and any other Persons (e.g., the Existing Lender, the Ground Lessor and the rating agencies), in order to obtain Lender Consent as soon as is reasonably possible. Each party shall from time to time upon the other’s reasonable request, provide status updates on the efforts to obtain Lender Consent and each party shall copy the other on all submissions and material correspondence to and from Existing Lender, including Seller’s submission request letter to Existing Lender.

(iii) In furtherance of the provisions of this Section 5.7(a):

(1) Purchaser shall execute and deliver or cause to be delivered to Existing Lender such assumption agreements, reaffirmation agreements, loan modifications, legal opinions, resolutions, certificates, title insurance endorsements and other instruments and documents as Existing Lender or the rating agencies may require pursuant to the applicable provisions of the Loan Documents or may otherwise reasonably require in connection with the Lender Consent (collectively, the “Loan Assumption Documents”). In this regard, Purchaser acknowledges that the Existing Loan has been securitized and that Purchaser shall be obligated to comply with, and it shall be deemed reasonable for Existing Lender or the rating agencies to request that Purchaser comply with, the S&P U.S. CMBS Requirements applicable to the assumption of the Existing Loan by Purchaser, the structuring of Purchaser and the other requirements applicable to loan assumptions, together with any other customary requirements of lenders, servicers or rating agencies for the assumption of securitized loans, including, without limitation, the requirement that Purchaser and any direct member of Purchaser be newly-formed SPEs and that, from the Effective Date until the Closing Date, Purchaser (or its assignee) be a wholly-owned direct or indirect subsidiary of Boston Properties Limited Partnership. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Loan Assumption Documents shall not impose any obligations on Purchaser’s principals or, subject to any additional burdens or obligations imposed on Purchaser or any of its affiliates under any express provision of this Section 5.7(a), impose any additional burdens on Purchaser, or any affiliates, not contained in the Loan Documents, nor amend any provision of the Loan Documents in any materially adverse manner or otherwise materially adversely change the existing terms of the Existing Loan except as may be requested by Purchaser. In connection with the Lender Consent submission, Purchaser shall have the right to request reasonable modifications to the Existing Loan Documents in order to reflect the change in the identity and ownership structure of the new borrower and the new guarantor, including without limitation, changes to the permitted transfer provisions, the insurance provisions, the notice provisions, any modifications to the property management agreement, and the right to structure the transaction in accordance with Section 10.22 of this Agreement; provided, however, that (I) the failure to obtain any such reasonable modifications shall not be deemed a failure of the condition to obtain Lender Consent and if Lender Consent shall be forthcoming without such modifications, then Purchaser shall be required to accept Lender Consent without such modifications and (II) any obligations imposed on Purchaser or its affiliates in connection with any such modifications agreed to between Purchaser and Existing Lender shall not be considered additional burdens on Purchaser or its

- 23 -

affiliates under this Section 5.7(a). Purchaser agrees to reasonably negotiate provisions drafted to incorporate any requested reasonable modifications. In no event shall Purchaser obtain the Approved Mezzanine Loan (as defined in the Loan Documents) prior to Closing or, prior to Closing, include or have the right to obtain any third party equity, preferred equity investor or pari passu or subordinated lender providing preferred equity, mezzanine debt or other indebtedness that is not expressly permitted by the Loan Documents in existence as of the Effective Date.

(2) Seller shall execute and deliver such release of Existing Lender and other documents as may be reasonably requested by Existing Lender to obtain Lender Consent.

(3) Purchaser shall cause a Substitute Guarantor affiliated with Purchaser to execute and deliver to Existing Lender (I) a guaranty of recourse obligations and an environmental indemnity agreement, (II) an assumption of the tenant’s interest in the 58th Floor Master Lease and (III) a guaranty of the obligations of the affiliate of the Normandy Fund under that certain ROFO side letter with Existing Lender for any liability of the landlord thereunder from and after the Closing (collectively, the “Existing Guarantees”) in form and substance substantially similar to the ones that currently are part of the Loan Documents (the “Substitute Guarantees”) and Seller shall seek to obtain from Existing Lender a release of all liability under the Existing Guarantees from and after (but not before) the assumption of the Existing Loan by Purchaser on the Closing Date (the “Prospective Release”). If Seller is unable to obtain the Prospective Release from Existing Lender (and, in the case of the 58th Floor Master Lease, Existing Lender’s consent to the assignment to Purchaser of Seller’s interest as landlord under the 58th Floor Master Lease, the assumption by Substitute Guarantor of the tenant’s interest in the 58th Floor Master Lease and the other obligations to assignment and assumption thereof described above (collectively, the “58th Floor Lease Assumption Documents”)), Substitute Guarantor shall execute and deliver to Seller at Closing an agreement indemnifying the Seller Parties from all claims, liabilities, losses, damages, judgments, costs and expenses, including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, arising under the Existing Guarantees that are attributable to actions occurring on or after the Closing Date (the “Guaranty Indemnification Agreement”).

(4) If Existing Lender shall fail or refuse to grant Lender Consent on or before the Outside Consent Date for a reason other than the default by Seller or Purchaser in its obligations under this Agreement and Purchaser has not made the Defeasance Election, this Agreement shall automatically (and without the necessity of notice) terminate, in which case Escrow Agent shall return the Deposit to Purchaser and neither Seller nor Purchaser shall have any further liability hereunder or by reason hereof except for the Effective Date Surviving Obligations. If the failure to obtain Lender Consent is due to the default by Seller or Purchaser in its obligations under this Agreement, then the provisions of Article 9 shall apply.

(5) Seller and Purchaser agree that the Lender Consent shall be deemed given (so that the parties may proceed to scheduling a Closing) if the

- 24 -

Contemplated Transactions are permitted, even if such consent is conditioned upon or subject to the execution and delivery of the Substitute Guarantees, Loan Assumption Documents and other documents and deliveries contemplated by this Section 5.7(a)(iii) on the Closing Date.

(iv) Purchaser shall be obligated to pay to Existing Lender, or reimburse Seller at Closing for, all of the fees, costs and expenses required by the Loan Documents and/or Existing Lender (collectively, the “Loan Transfer Fees”) in connection with the Lender Consent, whether or not received, including, but not limited to, all processing fees, application fees, attorneys’ fees, recording fees, underwriting fees and rating agency fees.

(v) At the Closing, Seller shall receive a credit (the “Loan Reserve Credit”) to the Purchase Price for (A) the then outstanding balance of all reserves, escrows, and/or deposits then being held as of the Closing Date by Existing Lender under the Loan Documents (collectively, the “Loan Reserves”) for real estate taxes, insurance, deferred maintenance, capital replacements, tenant improvements and leasing commissions, ground rent under the Ground Lease and other purposes (after taking into account any pending requisitions relating thereto so that (1) if the pending requisition is for a cost for which Seller is responsible under this Agreement, Seller would not receive a credit for such requisition and (2) if the pending requisition is for a cost for which Seller is not responsible under this Agreement, Seller would receive a credit for such requisition), and (B) any and all other funds derived from the Property held by Existing Lender in any lockbox, cash management or other account or subaccount as of the Closing Date, subject to adjustment in accordance with the proration provisions specified herein; provided, however, that (1) Seller shall not receive any Loan Reserve Credit for any amounts (i.e., Bain Lease Obligation Security) then being held by Existing Lender that constitute funds reserved for Seller Retained Obligations, and Seller shall continue to hold title to and have the right to use such amounts as provided in Article 8, and (3) the $7.5 Million LOC shall not constitute part of the Loan Reserve Credit.

(vi) At the Closing, (A) interest under the Existing Loan shall be prorated between Seller and Purchaser as of the Closing Date with Seller receiving a credit for any prepaid interest and Purchaser receiving a credit for any accrued and unpaid interest as of the Closing Date and (B) Seller shall pay to Existing Lender all amounts due and owing by Seller to Existing Lender as of the Closing Date.

(b) Ground Lessor Consent. Subject to the provisions of this Section 5.7(b), Seller shall diligently and in good faith seek, and Purchaser shall diligently and in good faith cooperate with Seller and Ground Lessor to assist Seller in obtaining, any consent (the “Ground Lessor Consent”) of the Ground Lessor required under the Ground Lease to the Contemplated Transactions (the parties agreeing that the agreement of the Ground Lessor to provide the consent set forth in the Ground Lessor Assignment and Consent shall constitute Ground Lessor Consent and shall be acceptable for this purpose). Purchaser and Seller agree to cooperate in good faith to obtain the Ground Lessor Consent and Purchaser agrees that Seller shall control the process but shall, in so doing, keep Purchaser and its counsel regularly informed and (where practicable) regularly involved in the process, including copying Purchaser and its counsel on all written notices delivered to Ground Lessor and its counsel, and inviting Purchaser and its counsel to all meetings and conference calls.

(i) On or before the fifth Business Day after the Effective Date, Seller shall notify Ground Lessor of the Contemplated Transactions and request that Ground Lessor provide the Ground Lessor Consent and, in such notification, (A) Seller shall deliver to Ground Lessor a copy of this Agreement, and (B) Purchaser shall provide a structure chart for Purchaser, its

- 25 -

members and their respective direct and indirect owners. Purchaser agrees that, directly or indirectly through a parent guaranty or other credit support given to Ground Lessor in a form acceptable to Ground Lessor, Purchaser shall have a Tangible Net Worth (as defined in Section 10.1(a) of the Ground Lease) of $50,000,000 or more, shall provide financial statements or other evidence satisfactory to Ground Lessor to establish such Tangible Net Worth, and shall comply with the other applicable transfer requirements of the Ground Lessor set forth in the Ground Lease. Seller and Purchaser, as applicable, shall promptly deliver all information to be delivered to Ground Lessor in connection with obtaining the Ground Lessor Consent that is required under the Ground Lease and all other information reasonably requested by Ground Lessor. Each of Purchaser and Seller shall use diligent efforts, and shall cooperate with each other and any other Persons, in order to obtain the Ground Lessor Consent as soon as is reasonably possible. Each party shall from time to time upon the other’s reasonable request, provide status updates on the efforts to obtain the Ground Lessor Consent and each party shall copy the other on all submissions and material correspondence to and from Ground Lessor, including Seller’s submission request letter to Ground Lessor. In connection with obtaining the Ground Lessor Consent, Seller shall request from Ground Lessor and use diligent efforts to obtain an executed estoppel certificate from Ground Lessor in accordance with the terms of the Ground Lease Assignment and Consent.

(ii) If the Ground Lessor shall fail or refuse to grant the Ground Lessor Consent on or before the Outside Consent Date for a reason other than the default by Seller or Purchaser in its obligations under this Agreement and Purchaser has not made the Ground Lessor Waiver Election, this Agreement shall automatically (and without the necessity of notice) terminate, in which case, Escrow Agent shall return the Deposit to Purchaser and neither Seller nor Purchaser shall have any further liability hereunder or by reason hereof except for the Effective Date Surviving Obligations. If the failure to obtain Ground Lessor Consent is due to the default by Seller or Purchaser in its obligations under this Agreement, then the provisions of Article 9 shall apply.

(iii) Seller and Purchaser agree that the Ground Lessor Consent shall be deemed given (so that the parties may proceed to scheduling a Closing) if the Contemplated Transactions are permitted, even if such consent is conditioned upon or subject to the execution and delivery of the Ground Lessor Consent and the other documents and deliveries contemplated by this Section 5.7(b) on the Closing Date.

(iv) Purchaser shall be obligated to pay to the Ground Lessor, or reimburse Seller at Closing for, all of the costs and expenses required by the Ground Lease and/or the Ground Lessor (collectively, the “Ground Lessor Consent Fees”) in connection with obtaining the Ground Lessor Consent, including, but not limited to all processing fees, application fees, attorneys’ fees and other out-of-pocket costs and expenses.

ARTICLE 6

Representations and Warranties

Section 6.1. Purchaser’s Representations and Warranties. Purchaser hereby represents, warrants, covenants, and acknowledges to Seller, as of the date hereof and as of the Closing, as follows:

(a) Purchaser acknowledges that it is an experienced and sophisticated purchaser of commercial real estate property such as the Property and that it has had a full and complete opportunity to conduct such investigations, examinations, inspections and analyses of the Property as Purchaser, in its

- 26 -

absolute discretion, may deem appropriate. Purchaser further acknowledges that, except for the Seller Representations, Purchaser has not relied upon any statements, representations or warranties by Seller or any agent of Seller.

(b) Purchaser agrees that the Property shall be sold, and that Purchaser shall accept the same, on the Closing Date strictly on an “AS IS, WHERE IS” AND “WITH ALL FAULTS, LIABILITIES, AND DEFECTS, LATENT OR OTHERWISE, KNOWN OR UNKNOWN” basis, with no right of set-off or reduction in the Purchase Price (other than any of the foregoing expressly set forth in this Agreement), and that, except for the Seller Representations, such sale shall be without representation or warranty of any kind by Seller, any other Seller Party or any broker or other agents of Seller, express or implied, including any warranty of income potential, operating expenses, uses, merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose, and Seller does hereby disclaim and renounce any such representation or warranty. Purchaser specifically acknowledges that, except for the Seller Representations, Purchaser is not relying on any representations or warranties of any kind whatsoever, express or implied, from Seller, any other Seller Party or any broker or other agents as to any matters concerning the Property including: (1) the value of the Subject Property; (2) any income to be derived from the Subject Property; (3) the suitability of the Property for any and all activities and uses which Purchaser may conduct thereon, including the possibilities for further development of the Property or construction thereon; (4) the habitability, merchantability, marketability, profitability or fitness for a particular purpose of the Property or any improvements thereon; (5) the manner, quality, state of repair or lack of repair of the Property (including the roof, foundation, HVAC systems or any other component of the Property or any improvements thereon); (6) the nature, quality or condition of the Property, including with respect to water conditions, soil, geological or geotechnical condition (including soil expansiveness, corrosion, or stability, or seismic, hydrological, geological and topographical conditions and configurations, including, without limitation, any opinions or conclusions of any soils engineer(s) retained to perform geotechnical and/or soils studies or to oversee any soils engineering aspects of developing the Property); (7) the compliance of Seller, the Property or its operation with any codes, laws, rules, ordinances, regulations of any applicable governmental authority or body; (8) the manner or quality of the construction or materials incorporated into the Property; (9) compliance with Environmental Laws or land use laws, rules, regulations, orders, codes or requirements; (10) the presence or absence of radon gas, methane gas, asbestos or any other Hazardous Materials at, on, under, or adjacent to the Property; (11) the conformity of any improvements to any plans or specifications, including, without limitation, any plans and specifications that may have been or may be provided to Purchaser; (12) the conformity of the Property to past, current or future applicable zoning or building requirements; (13) deficiency of any undershoring; (14) deficiency of any drainage; (15) the fact that all or a portion of the Property may be located on or near an earthquake fault line or in or near an earthquake or seismic hazard zone; (16) the creditworthiness of any Tenants; (17) water rights or the availability of or access to water; (18) the presence or suitability of any utilities or availability thereof; (19) the completeness or accuracy of any due diligence materials provided to Purchaser by Seller, any brokers or their agents; or (20) any other matter relating to the Property, or to the development, construction, operation, or sale of the Property; provided, however, that the foregoing provision shall not prevent Purchaser from relying on the Seller Representations and to seek such remedies as are available for a breach in connection therewith, subject, however, to the limitations and conditions relating thereto set forth in Section 9.4 and elsewhere in this Agreement;

(c) Except as expressly provided below in this Section 6.1(c), Purchaser, for Purchaser and Purchaser’s successors and assigns, hereby releases and forever discharges Seller and the other Seller Parties from, and irrevocably and unconditionally waives all claims and liability against Seller and each of the other Seller Parties for or attributable to, the following:

(i) any and all statements or opinions heretofore or hereafter made, or information furnished, by or on behalf of Seller Parties to Purchaser or any of Purchaser’s agents

- 27 -

or representatives (other than Seller’s Representations, subject, however, to the limitations and conditions relating thereto set forth in Section 9.4 and elsewhere in this Agreement); and

(ii) any and all losses, costs, claims, liabilities, expenses, demands or obligations of any kind or nature whatsoever, whether known or unknown and foreseen or unforeseen, attributable to the Property, whether arising or accruing before, on or after the Closing and whether attributable to events or circumstances which have heretofore or may hereafter occur, including all losses, costs, claims, liabilities, expenses, demands and obligations with respect to the structural, physical, or environmental condition of the Property including claims or liabilities relating to the presence, discovery or removal of any Hazardous Materials in, at, under or about the Property and any other matters described in Section 6.1(b). Without limiting the foregoing (but subject in all events to the proviso below), Purchaser hereby agrees that, if at any time after the Closing, any third party or governmental agency seeks to hold Purchaser responsible for the presence of, or any loss, cost or damage associated with, Hazardous Materials in, on, above, adjacent to or beneath the Real Property or emanating therefrom, then Purchaser waives any rights it may have against Seller in connection therewith, including under CERCLA, and Purchaser agrees that it shall not (1) implead Seller, (2) bring a contribution action or similar action against Seller or (3) attempt in any way to hold Seller responsible with respect to any such matter;

provided, however, that the release and waiver set forth in this Section 6.1(c) is not intended and shall not be construed to affect or impair any rights or remedies that Purchaser may have against Seller as a result of a breach of any of Seller Representations by Seller or of any covenant of Seller expressly set forth in Section 6.2 or any other provision of this Agreement or in the Assignment and Assumption Agreement, subject to the terms and limitations on Seller’s liability as set forth in Section 9.4 and elsewhere in this Agreement.

Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that (1) Purchaser may hereinafter discover facts different from or in addition to those now (or at the Closing) known to Purchaser, (2) Purchaser’s agreement to release, acquit and discharge Seller and the other Seller Parties as set forth herein, and Seller’s obligations described in the proviso immediately preceding this sentence, shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the existence or discovery of any such additional or different facts, (3) Purchaser knowingly waives any rights, privileges and benefits under any federal, state or local law which may negatively impact the validity or enforceability of any part of the releases set forth in this Agreement, (4) upon the completion of the Closing, Seller shall be deemed to have satisfied all of Seller’s obligations, covenants and liabilities in this Agreement and in any documents executed by Seller in connection herewith, other than those obligations of Seller that, by the express terms of this Agreement or the Assignment and Assumption Agreement, survive the Closing (in which case such survival shall be subject to the limitations set forth in this Agreement or as set forth in the Assignment and Assumption Agreement), and (5) Purchaser irrevocably covenants never to commence or prosecute, or to collude with others to commence or prosecute, against Seller or any other Seller Party any action or proceeding based upon any claim covered by the foregoing release.

Purchaser understands the legal significance of the foregoing provisions and acknowledges and agrees that the provisions of Section 6.1(b) and (c) were a material factor in Seller’s acceptance of the Purchase Price and that Seller is unwilling to sell the Property unless Seller and the other Seller Parties are expressly released as set forth in Section 6.1(b) and (c).

- 28 -

The releases contained in Section 6.1(b) and (c) and elsewhere in this Agreement include claims of which Purchaser is presently unaware or which Purchaser does not presently suspect to exist, which, if known by Purchaser, would materially affect Purchaser’s release of Seller. Subject to Seller Representations, Purchaser specifically waives the provisions of any law of any state, territory or jurisdiction the import of which is as follows:

A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the provisions of Section 6.1(b) and (c) shall constitute Surviving Obligations that survive the Closing;

(d) Purchaser is a limited partnership duly formed, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware.

(e) This Agreement constitutes the valid and legally binding obligation of Purchaser, enforceable against Purchaser in accordance with its terms subject only to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws attaching rights of creditors generally, and subject as to enforceability, to general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at law);

(f) There are no actions, suits or proceedings pending or, to the knowledge of Purchaser, threatened, against or affecting Purchaser which, if determined adversely to Purchaser, would adversely affect its ability to perform its obligations hereunder;

(g) Neither the execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement nor compliance herewith (i) conflicts or will conflict with or results or will result in a breach of or constitutes or will constitute a default under (1) the organizational documents of Purchaser, (2) any law or any order, writ, injunction or decree of any court or governmental authority, or (3) any agreement or instrument to which Purchaser is a party or by which it is bound or (ii) results in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon its property pursuant to any such agreement or instrument;

(h) No authorization, consent, approval of any governmental authority (including courts) is required for the execution and delivery by Purchaser of this Agreement or the performance of its obligations hereunder;

(i) (i) Purchaser is not, nor is it controlled directly or indirectly by, nor is it owned directly or to Purchaser’s knowledge indirectly by, any person, group, entity or nation named on any list issued by the Office of Foreign Assets Control of the United States Department of the Treasury (“OFAC”) pursuant to Executive Order 13224 or any similar list or by any law, order, rule or regulation or any Executive Order of the President of the United States as a terrorist, “Specially Designated National and Blocked Person” or other banned or blocked person (any such person, group, entity or nation being hereinafter referred to as a “Prohibited Person”); (ii) Purchaser is not (nor is it controlled, directly or indirectly, by, nor is it owned directly or to Purchaser’s knowledge indirectly, by, any person, group, entity or nation which is) acting directly or indirectly for or on behalf of any Prohibited Person; and (iii) neither Purchaser nor any person, group, entity or nation which directly or indirectly controls Purchaser or which directly owns, or to Purchaser’s knowledge indirectly owns Purchaser, has conducted or will conduct business or has engaged or will engage in any transaction or dealing with any Prohibited Person, including, without limitation, the making or receiving of any contribution of funds, goods or services to or for the benefit of a Prohibited Person. In connection with the foregoing, it is expressly understood and

If Purchaser suffers a financial loss and the Closing occurs, then the Deductible Amount shall, for purposes of Section 9.4, be reduced dollar-for-dollar by the amount so incurred by Purchaser, but in no event shall the Deductible Amount be reduced below $0.

(j) Special Credits. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, (A) Seller shall be obligated to pay prior to or at Closing the $435,000 payment due to be paid to the Ground Lessor on January 1, 2011, (B) Seller shall be obligated to pay prior to or at Closing $136,000 as a credit with respect to certain work otherwise to have been completed on the CSX rail-side facade of the garage work., and (C) Seller shall be obligated to pay prior to or at Closing the approximately $48,000 of amounts to be due to ManuLife in connection with their audit of the 2008 tax and operating expense year, and any similar amounts contested by such tenant with respect to the audit of the 2009 tax and operating expense year, provided that Purchaser agrees that Seller shall have no liability for such 2008 or 2009 tax and operating expense year with respect to any other issues alleged by ManuLife for the 2008 or 2009 tax and operating expense year.

ARTICLE 8

Seller Retained Obligations

Section 8.1. Seller Work and Other Seller Work. (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Seller shall be responsible to perform and pay for the Other Seller Work, Café Work, Lobby Work and other work described in Section 5.1(e) (subject in all events to the provisions of such Section so that, for example, Seller shall have no obligation to Complete any of the work described in Section 5.1(e) to the extent that any such work is taken over by Purchaser and Purchaser is given a credit for the cost to complete such work at Closing pursuant to Section 5.1(e)), the Chiller Work and the Garage Work (collectively, the “Seller Retained Obligations”) irrespective of whether they are to be performed or paid for before or after the Effective Date or the Closing Date including, without limitation, any cost overruns incidental thereto that are not caused by Purchaser’s failure to comply with its obligations under this Agreement. After Closing, in the event that any party providing labor, materials, equipment and/or services for the Seller Retained Obligations files a lien against the Property, the Seller shall within 20 days of receipt of notice regarding such lien, cause the lien to be discharged (either by obtaining and recording a lien discharge bond from a surety and in a form acceptable to the Owner or otherwise) at no cost to the Purchaser. The Seller Retained Obligations shall be performed in compliance with (A) all applicable laws, codes, ordinances, rules, regulations, permits

- 40 -

and approvals of governmental authorities having jurisdiction over such work, (B) the Bain Lease, (C) the Existing Loan Documents (or are otherwise consented to by the Existing Lender), and (D) all covenants, conditions, restrictions and other encumbrances affecting or relating to the Property (or applicable consents are obtained).

(b) In connection with the execution of the Bain Lease, Seller (i) delivered to Bain Tenant an irrevocable letter of credit in the amount of $23,297,275.00 to secure the tenant improvement allowance for floors 37 through 43 of the Bain Lease (the “TI Allowance Letter of Credit”), (ii) delivered to Bain Tenant an irrevocable letter of credit in the amount of $7,500,000 (the “$7.5 Million LOC”) to secure Seller’s obligation to pay such amount, or the applicable portion thereof, to Bain Tenant in certain circumstances following Seller’s failure to timely complete the Garage Work pursuant to the Bain Lease, (iii) deposited $8,305,035 with Existing Lender to secure the payment of the costs of the Garage Work under an agreement (the “Garage Work Reserve Agreement”) with Existing Lender, and (iv) placed $7,524,219 into escrow with a title company for the costs of the Café Work, the Lobby Work, and the Chiller Work under an agreement (the “Non-Garage Work Escrow Agreement”) with such title company. In addition, in connection with Bain Tenant’s exercise of its Initial Expansion Option (as defined in the Bain Lease) for the 36th floor, Seller has increased or will, prior to the Closing Date, increase the TI Allowance Letter of Credit by the required amount of $3,137,125.00 in accordance with the Bain Lease. Collectively, the letters of credit and funds under the preceding two sentences are referred to as the “Bain Lease Obligation Security.” At and after the Closing, the Bain Lease Obligation Security shall remain in place in accordance with the Bain Lease, subject to Section 5.1(e), Seller shall continue to perform and pay for the Bain Lease Obligations, and Seller shall be permitted to use the Bain Lease Obligation Security to perform and pay the Bain Lease Obligations in accordance with the respective terms of the Bain Lease, the Garage Work Reserve Agreement, and the Non-Garage Work Escrow Agreement, as the case may be. Seller shall retain the rights to the Bain Lease Obligation Security and any excess funds therein, in each case to the extent not required for the performance or payment of the respective Bain Lease Obligations that constitute Seller Retained Obligations. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, upon Substantial Completion of the Garage Work, Seller shall be entitled to receive any unused funds remaining in the Garage Work Reserve Agreement, together with the original $7.5 Million LOC and/or any proceeds thereof (and/or any subsequent remittances thereof by Bain Tenant under the terms of the Bain Lease), to the extent not required to satisfy the obligation to pay Bain Tenant the Garage Payment as provided in the Bain Lease, and if Purchaser shall receive the $7.5 Million LOC or any proceeds therefrom (or subsequent remittances thereof by Bain Tenant under the terms of the Bain Lease), Purchaser shall hold the same in trust for Seller and deliver the same to Seller promptly after receipt. If the Garage Work is not timely completed such that Bain Tenant has the right to draw all or any portion of the $7.5 Million LOC, (1) Seller shall bear the full economic effect of any draw on the $7.5 Million LOC and Seller shall not be entitled to any reimbursement therefor from Purchaser, provided that Seller alone shall have the right to receive any remaining undrawn proceeds (and any subsequent remittances thereof by Bain Tenant under the terms of Section 3.5(c) of the Work Letter attached to the Bain Lease for the fractional reduction of the $7,500,000 Garage Payment (as defined in Section 3.6 of the Work Letter) that Bain Tenant is required to refund to the Guarantor identified in the Work Letter) and shall have the right to contest the validity of any such draw by Bain Tenant and (2) if Bain Tenant elects, as it is entitled to do under the Bain Lease, not to draw upon the $7.5 Million LOC but instead receive a reduction in rent over time as provided in the Bain Lease, then Seller shall pay to Purchaser the fractional portion of the $7,500,000 Garage Payment that Bain Tenant would have been entitled to retain if Bain Tenant had elected to receive the Garage Payment instead of such rent reduction, and Purchaser shall bear the full economic effect of any such rent reduction without further reimbursement therefor from Seller. By way of illustration, if substantial completion of the Garage Work was delayed by 30 days beyond the Capital Program Outside Completion Date and Bain Tenant had initially drawn the entire $7.5 Million LOC as a result of such delay as provided in Section 3.5(c), then Bain Tenant would be entitled to retain 30/365ths of the $7.5 million so drawn and would be obligated to remit to the aforesaid Guarantor 335/365th of the

- 41 -

$7.5 million so drawn; provided, however, that if Bain instead had elected to receive the fractional portion of the rent reduction for such 30-day delay as set forth in Section 3.5(c), then Seller would be entitled to the return of the cancelled $7.5 Million LOC as provided under Section 3.5(c) and Seller would pay to Purchaser the amount (i.e., 30/365th of $7,500,000) that Bain Tenant would have been entitled to retain had Bain Tenant elected to receive the Garage Payment instead of the fractional rent reduction under such Section 3.5(c). In addition, Seller shall reimburse Purchaser for the reasonable third-party expenses incurred by Purchaser in providing the valet service to Bain Tenant under the penultimate sentence of Section 28.1 of the Bain Lease, to the extent attributable to Seller’s delay in performing the Garage Work, as more particularly provided therein.

(c) From and after the Effective Date, Seller shall invite and afford Purchaser and Purchaser’s representatives the opportunity (at Purchaser’s expense) to participate in the supervision and oversight of the completion of the Bain Lease Obligations, as reasonably required from time to time by Purchaser. Seller shall obtain the reasonable approval of Purchaser with respect to any Material Change Orders (as defined below) for the Garage Work or Chiller Work; provided, however, that Purchaser agrees that (1) it shall respond to Seller’s request for approval within two Business Days and failure to respond by the second Business Day shall be deemed an approval, (2) if Seller believes that Purchaser unreasonably denied its approval (other than for any Discretionary Scope Change Order, as defined below), Seller shall have the right to request the contractor and the architect for such work to determine whether, in their judgment, Purchaser’s denial was in fact reasonable, whereupon such determination shall be binding and final on each of Purchaser and Seller with respect to the reasonableness of the denial, and if Purchaser’s denial shall be determined to have been unreasonable, then such change order shall be deemed to be approved and Seller shall be entitled to proceed with the work, as modified by such change order, and (3) with respect to any Discretionary Scope Change Order, Purchaser shall not be deemed to be unreasonable in withholding its approval if such change order would materially reduce the scope or quality of the work (including, without limitation, the number of parking spaces, quality of construction, or quantity of materials) shown on the plans and specifications listed on Schedule 6.2(dd). In no event shall any such change order deviate from the requirements of the Garage Work or Chiller Work, as applicable, under the Bain Lease or the Garage Work Reserve Agreement or this Agreement. “Material Change Order” shall mean any change order for the work (including without limitation any change orders for substitution of materials, changes required to address unexpected field conditions, and any other matters), other than minor changes that are required to be made in the field (or within less than two Business Days in the ordinary course) provided that such minor changes do not materially reduce the scope or quality of the work (including, without limitation, the number of parking spaces, quality of construction, or quantity of materials) shown on the plans and specifications listed on Schedule 6.2(dd). “Discretionary Scope Change Order” means any Material Change Order that does not arise from the unavailability of materials, materielmen, or suppliers, the substitution of materials of like quality, unexpected field conditions, governmental or other third party requirements, or events or conditions beyond Seller’s reasonable control.

(d) In the event that Purchaser from time to time after the Closing requests that Seller make a change to the Garage Work or the Chiller Work (which change shall not deviate from the requirements for such work, as applicable, under the Bain Lease or the Garage Work Reserve Agreement or materially change the scope of the work shown on the plans and specifications listed on Schedule 6.2(dd)), Seller shall reasonably cooperate with Purchaser (at no cost to Seller) in evaluating and/or implementing such requested changes, provided that (i) Purchaser pays any and all costs arising from such change or requested change, (ii) any such change will not cause any delay in the Garage Work or the Chiller Work (unless Purchaser agrees to pay for all additional costs to complete the work on the original schedule), (iii) Purchaser’s requested changes are permitted under (A) applicable laws, codes, ordinances, rules, regulations, permits and approvals of governmental authorities having jurisdiction over such work, (B) the Bain Lease and any other Lease, (C) the Loan Documents (or are otherwise consented to by the

- 42 -

Existing Lender), and (D) all covenants, conditions, restrictions and other encumbrances affecting or relating to the Property (or applicable consents are obtained). Purchaser shall be solely responsible for all costs, expenses, and liability incurred by Seller in connection with any changes requested by Purchaser, including without limitation any costs, expenses, or liability incurred by Seller under the Bain Lease in the event of a delay in the Garage Work caused by such changes, whether any such delay is then expected or thereafter arises on account of such change requested by Purchaser. Except in connection with a termination for cause under the applicable contract, Seller shall not replace the general contractor or architect for the Garage Work or the Chiller Work shown on Schedule 6.2(ee) without Purchaser’s prior approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed provided that the replacement general contractor or architect (as the case may be) has experience and qualifications for comparable construction projects and is acceptable to Existing Lender (to the extent Existing Lender’s approval is required under the Garage Work Reserve Agreement or Loan Documents, as the case may be).

(e) Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that the Garage Work and the Chiller Work is not expected to be Completed prior to Closing and that, following Closing, Normandy Property Manager shall continue to supervise the contractors under the Garage Construction Contract and cause the Garage Work and Chiller Work to be Completed in accordance with this Agreement, the Loan Documents and the terms of the Bain Lease as part of the Bain Lease Obligations; provided, however, that (i) Purchaser shall not be obligated to pay a construction management fee pursuant to the Normandy Property Management and Leasing Agreement or otherwise for such supervision and (ii) if requested by Existing Lender in connection with the Lender Consent, Seller and Purchaser shall collaterally assign to Existing Lender all rights of Seller and Purchaser in and to the Garage Contract and all benefits of the owner thereunder. Seller shall be responsible for obtaining all consents, approvals, and permits from tenants, lenders, governmental authorities, and other third parties required to perform such work, and (to the extent, if any, the same have not heretofore been obtained and are hereafter required in order to carry out such work) Purchaser shall reasonably cooperate with Seller in obtaining the same (all without cost to Purchaser), including without limitation the execution of customary permit applications, submissions, and related materials required to be made by the owner of the Property in the ordinary course of the work. In connection with Seller’s completion of the Seller Retained Obligations, Purchaser shall cooperate with Seller or its representative to permit Seller to perform its obligations to complete the Seller Retained Obligations, including granting access to the Property and delegating owner’s rights to enforce and act as owner’s representative under the Garage Construction Contract and other relevant agreements to Normandy Property Manager until the Garage Work and Chiller Work is Substantially Completed.

(f) After the Effective Date and (as applicable under this Section 8.1) after the Closing, Seller shall (i) perform the Seller Retained Obligations in accordance with the plans and specifications on Schedule 6.2(dd) (subject to the provisions of this Section 8.1) and in accordance with the requirements of Section 3.5 of the Work Letter (to the extent applicable), the Loan Documents, and (as applicable) the Garage Work Reserve Agreement and the Non-Garage Work Escrow Agreement and (ii) provide to Purchaser copies of all requisitions, submissions, and other notices given or received by Seller under the Section 3.5 of the Work Letter, the Loan Documents, the Garage Work Reserve Agreement, or the Non-Garage Work Escrow Agreement (as the case may be) with respect to such work, including, without limitation, copies of all requisition packages, lien waivers, architects’ certificates of substantial completion, certificates of occupancy, and all other close-out documentation relating to Completion of such work as required under the terms thereof. Seller shall assign to Purchaser all rights and warranties (but not any obligations) under the applicable design and construction contracts for the Seller’s Work at the Closing (to the extent the applicable portions of the Seller’s Work have been Completed prior to the Closing) or after the Closing (promptly after Completion of each portion of the Seller’s Work that is Completed after the Closing). To the extent not covered by such assignment, Seller shall execute after Completion of such work such instruments as may be reasonably requested by Purchaser to confirm the transfer to Purchaser of all of Seller’s ownership rights and interests in and to all

- 43 -

plans, specifications, warranties, project manuals, and other design documents in connection with such work. After such assignment following Completion of the work, Seller have no liability or obligation to pursue any warranty claims or other claims for deficient, defective or nonconforming design or construction, provided that, to the extent that any such warranty or claim is not assignable to Purchaser as aforesaid, Seller will reasonably cooperate with Purchaser at Purchaser’s request (at no cost to Seller) in the enforcement of such warranty or claim against the applicable contractor, to the extent such warranty or claim is required to be made in Seller’s name pursuant to the applicable contract. With respect to the portions of the Seller Retained Obligations to be performed by Seller after the Closing Date, (1) Seller shall require the respective contractors to update their liability insurance for such work to name each of Purchaser, Boston Properties Limited Partnership and BPI as an additional insured to the same extent as Seller and shall provide certificates thereof to Purchaser promptly upon receipt, and shall cause Normandy Property Manager (and, as applicable, Seller, in respect of the activities of Seller at the Property under this Section 8.1) to name each of Purchaser, Boston Properties Limited Partnership and BPI as an additional insured on its commercial general liability policies, and (2) Seller and Purchaser shall reasonably cooperate to enable each party to receive the benefits of any indemnifications in favor of the “Owner” under the applicable contracts for such work, including by seeking written instruments from the architect(s) and contractor(s) for all such work naming Purchaser, Boston Properties Limited Partnership and BPI as indemnified parties to the same extent as Seller. After the Effective Date and (as applicable under this Section 8.1) after Closing, Seller shall give permit Purchaser, at Purchaser’s expense, to attend weekly job meetings and to monitor the progress of the work, and Purchaser shall promptly furnish Seller with a copy of any notices or other material communications (if any) received from Bain Tenant, Existing Lender, or any other party with respect to such work. Seller shall deliver to Bain Tenant the architect’s certification and estoppel certificate as to substantial completion of the respective portions of Seller’s Work under Section 3.5(d) of the Work Letter, either before or after the Closing as the case may be, and (if requested by Seller after the Closing) Purchaser will forward such items (as provided by Seller) to Bain Tenant under Section 3.5(d) of the Work Letter and reasonably cooperate with Seller (at no cost to Purchaser) in obtaining such estoppel certificate from Bain Tenant.

(g) Purchaser agrees that all Bain Lease Obligation Security shall be retained by Seller and not assigned to Purchaser or, to the extent it is so assigned as part of the Lender Consent, Purchaser shall agree that Seller shall retain all of the beneficial right and interest in such Bain Lease Obligation Security and Purchaser shall fully cooperate with Seller in obtaining the release of funds from the Bain Lease Obligation Security, including making requisitions to Existing Lender, so as to provide to Seller the full benefit of such Bain Lease Obligation Security for the completion of the Bain Lease Obligations to which it applies or, to the extent such Bain Lease Obligation Security is required by Existing Lender to remain as collateral security for the performance of the related Bain Lease Obligations, to transfer such remaining Bain Lease Obligation Security to the escrow account held by the title company under the Non-Garage Work Escrow Agreement. Purchaser hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Seller harmless from and against any and all Losses arising out of (i) any default by Purchaser under the Existing Loan after the Closing Date that results in Seller’s inability to timely use the Bain Lease Obligation or (ii) any breach by Purchaser or its agents of Purchaser’s obligations under Article 8, including, without limitation, the obligation to grant Seller and the Garage Contractor and their respective agents and sub-contractors access to the Property after the Closing Date. In the event that the Defeasance Election is exercised by Purchaser, the parties will enter into a mutually acceptable escrow arrangement with respect to the Bain Lease Obligation Security that is returned to Seller to the extent not prohibited by the Bain Lease and, if prohibited, shall be delivered into such escrow arrangement as soon as it is no longer prohibited.

(h) For purposes of Section 8.1 and this Agreement, Completion of each component of the Bain Lease Obligations (i.e., the Lobby Work, the Café Work, the Chiller Work, and the Garage Work, respectively) shall be deemed to have occurred upon delivery to Purchaser of (i) a copy of the

- 44 -

Final Close-Out Package (as defined below) for such component in accordance with the Garage Work Reserve Agreement or the Non-Garage Work Escrow Agreement, as the case may be, and (ii) either an estoppel certificate executed by Bain Tenant evidencing that such component has been substantially completed under the terms of the Work Letter under Section 3.5(d) of the Work Letter or Seller’s certification that Bain Tenant has not disputed the occurrence of substantial completion of such component under the terms of Section 3.5(d) of the Work Letter, together with copies of all relevant materials submitted to Bain Tenant in connection with the Section 3.5(d) submission. As used herein, “Final Close-Out Package” shall mean the final close-out package required to be submitted (in the case of the Garage Work) to the Existing Lender under Section 4 of Exhibit A to the Garage Work Reserve Agreement and (in the case of the Lobby Work, the Café Work or the Chiller Work, as the case may be) to the Escrow Agent under Section 1(b) of the Non-Garage Work Escrow Agreement with respect to such component of the work. All Other Seller Work and other work described in Section 5.1(e) shall be deemed Completed upon delivery to Purchaser of copies of final lien waivers, evidence of final payment, and (if applicable) an architect’s or contractor’s certificate of substantial completion and, if applicable, confirmation of satisfaction of all lease requirements which are a precondition to the Completion of such work.

(i) The obligations under this Article 8 shall constitute Surviving Obligations.

Section 8.2. Review and Auditing of Records. Upon written request of Purchaser, from the Effective Date and for a period of two (2) years following the Effective Date, Seller shall make its records relating to the Property available to Purchaser for inspection, copying and audit by Purchaser’s accountants at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense. Without limiting the foregoing, from the Effective Date and for a period of two (2) years following the Effective Date, Seller shall, from time to time, upon reasonable advance notice from Purchaser and at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense, provide Purchaser and its representatives, agents and employees with access to the financial and other information in Seller’s possession that (i) relates to the operation of the Property, (ii) pertains to the period of Seller’s ownership of the Property, and (iii) is both relevant and reasonably necessary, in the opinion of Purchaser’s independent, third-party, certified public accountants, to enable Purchaser and Purchaser’s outside, third-party, certified public accountants to prepare financial statements on a timely basis in compliance with any or all of (A) Rule 3-14 and Rule 3-05 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission, (B) any other rule issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission and applicable to Purchaser or its affiliates, or (C) any registration statement, report or disclosure statement filed with the Securities Exchange Commission by, or on behalf of, Purchaser or its affiliates (with the understanding, however, that any such inquiry that is made by Purchaser or Purchaser’s independent, third-party, certified public accountants shall pertain solely to the affairs of Seller as the owner and operator of the Property, and shall not extend to the financial or other information of any direct or indirect owner of Seller or any of the affairs of any such direct or indirect owner of Seller or that is otherwise of a confidential or proprietary nature). Seller shall provide for the previous fiscal year and the period through and including the Closing Date such information and documentation, if available and at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense, including but not limited to:

(i) rent rolls;

(ii) Seller’s internally-prepared operating statements and prior years’ audited financial statements including supporting work papers and documentation;

(iii) access to the Leases and all information available on tenant improvements and commissions for prior fiscal years;

(iv) Seller’s budgeted annual and monthly income and expenses, and actual annual and monthly income and expenses;

- 45 -

(v) access to Seller’s cash receipt journal(s) and bank statements for the Property;

(vi) Seller’s general ledger with respect to the Property;

(vii) Seller’s schedule of expense reimbursements required under the Leases in effect on the Closing Date, if one exists;

(viii) loan amortization schedules and interest statements;

(ix) a schedule, if one exists, of those items of repairs and maintenance performed by, or at the direction of Seller;

(x) a schedule, if one exists, of those capital improvements and fixed asset additions made by, or at the direction of, the Seller;

(xi) access to Seller’s invoices with respect to expenditures; and

(xii) access (during normal and customary business hours) to responsible personnel designated by Seller to answer accounting questions.

ARTICLE 9

Termination and Default

Section 9.1. Termination without Default. If the sale of the Property is not consummated because of the failure to obtain the Required Consents by the Outside Consent Date that is not due to a default by Purchaser in its obligation to purchase the Property in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, then this Agreement shall terminate, the Deposit shall be returned to Purchaser and the parties shall have no further liability to each other except for the Effective Date Surviving Obligations.

Section 9.2. Purchaser’s Default. If the sale of the Property contemplated hereby is not consummated because of a default by Purchaser in its obligation to purchase the Property in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, or if Purchaser shall default in the performance of any of its other material obligations to be performed on or before the Closing Date, and such Purchaser default is not the result of a Seller’s default as described in Section 9.3, then: (a) this Agreement shall terminate; (b) the Deposit shall be paid to and retained by Seller as liquidated damages; and (c) except for the Effective Date Surviving Obligations, Seller and Purchaser shall have no further obligations to each other. THE PARTIES HERETO, BEFORE ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT, ACKNOWLEDGE THAT SUBSTANTIAL DAMAGES WILL BE SUFFERED BY SELLER IN THE EVENT THAT PURCHASER SHOULD FAIL TO PURCHASE THE PROPERTY SUBJECT TO AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT. PURCHASER AND SELLER ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE DAMAGES TO SELLER IN THE EVENT OF A BREACH OF THIS AGREEMENT BY PURCHASER WOULD BE DIFFICULT OR IMPOSSIBLE TO DETERMINE, THAT THE AMOUNT OF THE DEPOSIT REPRESENTS THE PARTIES’ BEST AND MOST ACCURATE ESTIMATE OF THE DAMAGES THAT WOULD BE SUFFERED BY SELLER IF THE TRANSACTION SHOULD FAIL TO CLOSE DUE TO PURCHASER’S DEFAULT AND THAT SUCH ESTIMATE IS REASONABLE UNDER THE CIRCUMSTANCES EXISTING AS OF THE EFFECTIVE DATE AND UNDER THE CIRCUMSTANCES THAT SELLER AND PURCHASER REASONABLY ANTICIPATE WOULD EXIST AT THE TIME OF SUCH BREACH. THE PARTIES, HAVING MADE A DILIGENT ENDEAVOR TO ASCERTAIN THE ACTUAL COMPENSATORY DAMAGES WHICH SELLER WOULD SUFFER IN THE EVENT OF

- 46 -

PURCHASER’S FAILURE TO PURCHASE THE PROPERTY SUBJECT TO AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT, HEREBY AGREE THAT THE REASONABLE ESTIMATE OF SAID DAMAGES IS THE SUM EQUAL TO THE AMOUNT OF THE DEPOSIT. THEREFORE, IN THE EVENT THAT THE SALE CONTEMPLATED HEREBY SHALL FAIL TO CLOSE FOR ANY REASON OTHER THAN SELLER’S DEFAULT HEREUNDER OR THE FAILURE OF ANY CONDITION PRECEDENT IN FAVOR OF PURCHASER EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, SELLER SHALL BE ENTITLED TO AND SHALL RETAIN THE ENTIRE DEPOSIT AS LIQUIDATED DAMAGES AND AS ITS SOLE REMEDY AT LAW OR IN EQUITY. THE AMOUNT OF THE LIQUIDATED DAMAGES HAS BEEN ESTABLISHED BY THE PARTIES AS THE AMOUNT OF THE MONETARY DAMAGES SELLER WILL SUFFER BASED SOLELY UPON A FAILURE BY PURCHASER TO PURCHASE THE PROPERTY AND SELLER SHALL BE ENTITLED TO RECOVER NO OTHER DAMAGES FROM PURCHASER BASED SOLELY UPON A FAILURE BY PURCHASER TO PURCHASE THE PROPERTY.

This Section 9.2 is intended only to liquidate and limit Seller’s right to damages arising due to Purchaser’s failure to purchase the Property in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and shall not limit the Effective Date Surviving Obligations of Purchaser under this Agreement. In no event shall Purchaser ever have any liability under this Agreement for indirect, consequential or punitive damages.

Section 9.3. Seller’s Default. If the sale contemplated hereby is not consummated because of a default by Seller in its obligation to sell the Property in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, or if Seller shall default in the performance of any of its other material obligations to be performed on or before the Closing Date (it being acknowledged that with respect to any default arising from a breach of any Seller Representations, Seller shall have the right, but not the obligation, to elect to cure such breach and, if it elects to cure such breach, the right to adjourn the Closing for up to 10 days to attempt to effectuate such cure), then Purchaser may, as its sole and exclusive remedy by reason thereof (in lieu of prosecuting an action for damages or proceeding with any other legal course of conduct, the right to bring such actions or proceedings being expressly and voluntarily waived by Purchaser, to the extent legally permissible, following and upon advice of counsel): (a) terminate this Agreement by giving written notice thereof to Seller, in which event, if such default has actually occurred, the Deposit will be returned to Purchaser, and thereafter the parties shall have no further obligation to each other except for the Effective Date Surviving Obligations, or (b) initiate and prosecute an action for specific performance by Seller of its obligations under this Agreement within thirty (30) days after the occurrence of such default and, in connection with such action, recover from Seller its actual out-of-pocket attorneys fees and expenses. Purchaser agrees that its failure timely to commence such an action for specific performance within such thirty (30) day period shall be deemed a waiver by it of its right to commence such an action.

Section 9.4. Breach of Representations; Survival Periods.

(a) Subject to Section 9.4(b), any Seller Representations shall survive the Closing until the date that is 180 days from the date of Closing (“Survival Period”) and no action or proceeding thereon shall be valid or enforceable, at law or in equity, unless Purchaser shall have duly commenced a legal proceeding against Seller within the Survival Period alleging that Seller was in breach of such representation or warranty when made, and that Purchaser has suffered actual damages as a result thereof; however, if such proceeding is so duly commenced with respect to a breach thereof prior to the expiration of the Survival Period, Seller’s liability (and the credit support provided by the Fund Guaranty) with respect to such breach only shall continue until a final, unappealable resolution of any such claim and any final judgment or settlement in favor of Purchaser is satisfied in full.

- 47 -

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or in any document executed in connection herewith, but subject to the Survival Period set forth in Section 9.4(a), and to the provisions of Section 9.4(c) and (d) below, (i) the maximum aggregate liability of Seller arising with respect to a breach by Seller of any or all of Seller’s Representations and for any other matters arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, shall not exceed Fifteen Million Dollars ($15,000,000) (the “Maximum Liability Amount”) and (ii) Seller shall have no liability whatsoever arising with respect to a breach by Seller of any or all of Seller’s Representations unless and until the aggregate liability for all or any such breaches equals or exceeds Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000) (the “Deductible Amount”) (and if such liability exceeds $500,000, then Seller shall have liability for all such breaches, subject to the Maximum Liability Amount, but without regard to the $500,000 deductible); provided, however, that the Maximum Liability Amount shall not apply to (A) loss, cost or damages incurred by Purchaser as a result of a default by Seller hereunder which is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to have been the result of fraud, willful misconduct or bad faith on the part of Seller or (B) liability under the indemnification of Seller pursuant to Section 10.23.

(c) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall Seller ever have any liability under this Agreement for indirect, consequential or punitive damages.

(d) If the Closing occurs, Purchaser hereby expressly waives, relinquishes and releases any right or remedy available to it at law, in equity, under this Agreement or otherwise 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 Representations being untrue, inaccurate or incorrect if Purchaser had actual knowledge that such Seller Representation or warranty was untrue, inaccurate or incorrect at the time of the Closing.

Any address or name specified above may be changed by notice given to the addressee by the other party in accordance with this Section 10.7. The inability to deliver notice because of a changed address of which no notice was given as provided above, or because of rejection or other refusal to accept any notice, shall be deemed to be the receipt of the notice as of the date of such inability to deliver or rejection or refusal to accept. Any notice to be given by any party hereto may be given by the counsel for such party.

Section 10.8. Attorneys’ Fees. In the event of a judicial or administrative proceeding or action by one party against the other party with respect to the interpretation or enforcement of this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover reasonable costs and expenses including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, whether at the investigative, pretrial, trial or appellate level. The prevailing party shall be determined by the court based upon an assessment of which party’s major arguments or position prevailed.

Section 10.9. IRS Real Estate Sales Reporting. Purchaser and Seller hereby agree that the Escrow Agent shall act as “the person responsible for closing” the transaction which is the subject of this Agreement pursuant to Section 6045(e) of the Code and shall prepare and file all informational returns, including IRS Form 1099-S, and shall otherwise comply with the provisions of Section 6045(e) of the Code.

Section 10.10. Time Periods. Any reference in this Agreement to the time for the performance of obligations or elapsed time shall mean consecutive calendar days, months, or years, as applicable. In the event the time for performance of any obligation hereunder expires on a day that is not a Business Day, the time for performance shall be extended to the next Business Day.

Section 10.11. Modification of Agreement. No modification of this Agreement shall be deemed effective unless in writing and signed by both Seller and Purchaser.

Section 10.12. Further Instruments. Each party, promptly upon the request of the other, shall execute and have acknowledged and delivered to the other or to Escrow Agent, as may be appropriate, any and all further instruments reasonably requested or appropriate to evidence or give effect to the provisions of this Agreement and which are consistent with the provisions of this Agreement.

Section 10.13. Descriptive Headings; Word Meaning. The descriptive headings of the paragraphs of this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and shall not control or affect the meaning or construction of any provisions of this Agreement. Words such as “herein”, “hereinafter”, “hereof” and “hereunder” when used in reference to this Agreement, refer to this Agreement as a whole and not merely to a subdivision in which such words appear, unless the context otherwise requires. The singular shall include the plural and the masculine gender shall include the feminine and neuter, and vice versa, unless the context otherwise requires. The word “including” shall not be restrictive and shall be interpreted as if followed by the words “without limitation.”

Section 10.14. Time of the Essence. Time is of the essence of this Agreement and all covenants and deadlines hereunder; provided that the Closing Date may be adjourned for up to one (1) Business Day by either party. Without limiting the foregoing, Purchaser and Seller hereby confirm their intention and agreement that time shall be of the essence of each and every provision of this Agreement, notwithstanding any subsequent modification or extension of any date or time period that is provided for under this Agreement. The agreement of Purchaser and Seller that time is of the essence of each and every provision of this Agreement shall not be waived or modified by any conduct of the parties, and the agreement of Purchaser and Seller that time is of the essence of each and every provision of this

- 51 -

Agreement may only be modified or waived by the express written agreement of Purchaser and Seller that time shall not be of the essence with respect to a particular date or time period, or any modification or extension thereof, which is provided under this Agreement.

Section 10.15. Construction of Agreement. This Agreement shall not be construed more strictly against one party than against the other merely by virtue of the fact that it may have been prepared primarily by counsel for one of the parties, it being recognized that both Purchaser and Seller has contributed substantially and materially to the preparation of this Agreement.

Section 10.16. Severability. The parties hereto intend and believe that each provision in this Agreement comports with all applicable local, state and federal laws and judicial decisions. If, however, any provision in this Agreement is found by a court of law to be in violation of any applicable local, state, or federal law, statute, ordinance, administrative or judicial decision, or public policy, or if in any other respect such a court declares any such provision to be illegal, invalid, unlawful, void or unenforceable as written, then it is the intent of all parties hereto that, consistent with and with a view towards preserving the economic and legal arrangements among the parties hereto as expressed in this Agreement, such provision shall be given force and effect to the fullest possible extent, and that the remainder of this Agreement shall be construed as if such illegal, invalid, unlawful, void, or unenforceable provision were not contained herein, and that the rights, obligations, and interests of the parties under the remainder of this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect.

Section 10.17. No Recording. The provisions hereof shall not constitute a lien on the Property. Neither Purchaser nor its agents or representatives shall record or file this Agreement or any notice or memorandum hereof in any public records. If Purchaser breaches the foregoing provision, this Agreement shall, at Seller’s election, terminate, and Seller shall retain the Deposit in accordance with Section 9.2. Purchaser hereby irrevocably appoints Seller as its true and lawful attorneys-in-fact, coupled with an interest, for the purpose of executing and recording such documents and performing such other acts as may be necessary to terminate any recording or filing of this Agreement in violation of this provision. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit Seller’s remedies under Section 9.2 hereof.

Section 10.18. No Implied Agreement. Neither Seller nor Purchaser shall have any obligations in connection with the transaction contemplated by this Agreement unless both Seller and Purchaser, each acting in its sole discretion, elects to execute and deliver this Agreement to the other party. No correspondence, course of dealing or submission of drafts or final versions of this Agreement between Seller and Purchaser shall be deemed to create any binding obligations in connection with the transaction contemplated hereby, and no contract or obligation on the part of Seller or Purchaser shall arise unless and until this Agreement is fully executed by Seller and Purchaser. Once executed and delivered by Seller and Purchaser, this Agreement shall be binding upon them notwithstanding the failure of Escrow Agent or any broker or other Person to execute this Agreement.

Section 10.19. Facsimile/PDF Signature. Signatures to this Agreement, any amendment hereof and any notice given hereunder, transmitted electronically or by facsimile shall be valid and effective to bind the party so signing. Each party agrees to promptly deliver an execution original of this Agreement (and any amendment hereto) with its actual signature to the other party, but a failure to do so shall not affect the enforceability of this Agreement (or any amendment hereto), it being expressly agreed that each party to this Agreement shall be bound by its own electronically transmitted or facsimiled signature and shall accept the electronically transmitted or facsimiled signature of the other party to this Agreement.

Section 10.20. Brokers. (a)Seller represents and warrants to Purchaser that it has dealt with no broker, salesman, finder or consultant with respect to this Agreement or the Contemplated Transactions other than Cushman & Wakefield Inc, whose commission and all other compensation due to it for the Contemplated Transactions (the “Commission”) shall be paid by Seller pursuant to a separate agreement. Seller agrees to indemnify, protect, defend and hold Purchaser harmless from and against all claims, losses, damages, liabilities, costs, expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements at the investigative, trial and appellate levels) and charges resulting from Seller’s breach of the foregoing representation and covenant in this Section 10.20(a). The provisions of this Section 10.20(a) shall constitute Effective Date Surviving Obligations.

(b) Purchaser represents and warrants to Seller that it has dealt with no broker, salesman, finder or consultant with respect to this Agreement or the Contemplated Transactions other than Cushman & Wakefield Inc. Purchaser agrees to indemnify, protect, defend and hold Seller harmless from and against all claims, losses, damages, liabilities, costs, expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) and charges resulting from Purchaser’s breach of the foregoing representations in this Section 10.20(b). The provisions of this Section 10.20(b) shall constitute Effective Date Surviving Obligations.

(c) From and after the Effective Date, Seller shall request and endeavor to obtain from C&W a letter agreement or an estoppel certificate, in form mutually and reasonably agreed to between Seller and Purchaser, stating that all leasing commissions pursuant to the Bain Lease have been paid by Seller and acknowledging that C&W is protected under its brokerage agreement for any lease by covering the Protected Tenants listed on Schedule 6.2(gg) attached hereto.

Section 10.21. Exculpation. It is understood and agreed that, notwithstanding the fact that BPI is the general partner of Purchaser or that Normandy Fund and Five Mile Fund are the indirect owners of Seller, in no event shall BPI, Normandy Fund or Five Mile Fund, or their respective members, partners, shareholders, officers, directors or employees have any liability to any party arising out of this Agreement, the transactions contemplated herein, or any document delivered in connection with the transaction contemplated hereby; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not have any effect on the Fund Guaranty. The provisions of this Section 10.21 shall survive the Closing or a termination of this Agreement.

Section 10.22. Like-Kind Exchange. Purchaser shall have the right to structure the acquisition of the Property as a forward or reverse exchange thereof for other real property of a like-kind to be designated by Purchaser (including the ability to assign this Agreement to an entity established in order to effectuate such exchange), with the result that the exchange shall qualify for non-recognition of gain or loss under Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, in which case Seller shall execute any and all documents reasonably necessary to effect such exchange, and otherwise assist and cooperate with Purchaser in effecting such exchange, provided that: (i) any costs and expenses incurred by Seller as a result of structuring such transaction as an exchange, as opposed to an outright sale, shall be borne by Purchaser; (ii) Purchaser shall indemnify and hold harmless Seller from and against any and all liabilities, costs, damages, claims or demands arising from the cooperation of Seller in effecting the exchange contemplated hereby; (iii) such exchange shall not result in any delay in closing the transaction without Seller’s prior written consent; and (iv) such exchange shall not result in any material delay or undue complication in obtaining the Required Consents.

Section 10.23. Seller Indemnity Obligations; Seller Credit Support. Seller hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Purchaser harmless from and against any and all claims, liabilities, losses, damages, judgments, costs and expenses, including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees and

- 53 -

disbursements but excluding, in all cases, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (collectively, “Losses”) arising out of:

(a) the failure by Seller to perform its obligations with respect to the Seller Retained Obligations (other than Other Seller Work for which the provisions of this Section 10.23 shall not apply) under and in accordance with the provisions of Section 8 or under the Bain Lease, including, without limitation, any cost overruns from the Completion of the Bain Lease Obligations and the exercise of any remedies available to Bain Tenant under the Bain Lease as a result thereof (in which event Purchaser shall, following Closing, grant Seller access to the 100 Clarendon garage facility and otherwise reasonably cooperate with Seller if required to mitigate the Loss caused by any such failure and to honor the remedies available to Bain Tenant under the Bain Lease to address such failure) (but in no event shall Seller have any liability for Losses (i) attributable to a matter for which Purchaser is obligated to indemnify Seller pursuant to Section 8.1(g), (ii) covered by insurance maintained by the Garage Contractor (or other contractor for such work), Seller, or Purchaser or (iii) attributable to claims from Tenants or subtenants or other third parties for nuisance, breach of quiet enjoyment or similar consequential claims not caused by the negligence, willful misconduct, breach of an express obligation under such Tenant’s Lease or a breach of Section 8.1 by Seller or any Person it Controls) and the failure by Seller to pay (or cause to be funded from the TI Allowance Letter of Credit) amounts required to be paid as and when required and in accordance with Section 7.4(h)(iii)(E); and provided that as between Seller and any insurance maintained by the Garage Contractor or Seller, Seller intends that such insurance shall be primary of any liability of Seller;

(b) subject to the provisions of Section 9.4, the failure by Seller to pay any actual damages for which Seller is adjudicated liable as a result of Seller’s breach of its representations and warranties under Section 6.2;

(c) (i) any claim by Bain Tenant that the Bain PPA, in and of itself, imposes upon Purchaser, as landlord under the Bain Lease, any obligation or (ii) any claim by Bain Tenant, as tenant under the Bain Lease, that the Bain PPA creates in favor of Bain Tenant any setoff or other right under the Bain Lease, but only to the extent that Seller has not, on or prior to the Closing Date or at any time thereafter, provided Purchaser with a duly authorized and executed letter agreement delivered by Bain Tenant to Purchaser whereby Bain Tenant acknowledges and agrees as follows: the Bain PPA does not impose upon Purchaser, as landlord under the Bain Lease, any obligation and does not afford to Bain Tenant, as tenant under the Bain Lease, any setoff or other right under the Bain Lease, or words to similar effect (collectively, the “Bain Acknowledgment”), it being agreed that upon the delivery of a Bain Acknowledgment, Seller shall have no further liability to Purchaser under this Section 10.23(d).

The obligations of Seller under Section 10.23(a), (b), and (c) (collectively, the “Guaranteed Obligations”) shall be severally (in accordance with the percentage interest in BPH of the members of BPH that each guarantor indirectly controls) guaranteed by each of the Normandy Fund and the Five Mile Fund pursuant to the Fund Guaranty for all claims asserted for such Guaranteed Obligations prior to (A) with respect to Section 10.23(a), (1) the Completion of the Lobby Work in the case of the Lobby Work, (2) the Completion of the Café Work in the case of the Café Work, (3) in the case of the Chiller Work, 90 days after the Completion of the Chiller Work, provided Purchaser and its agents shall have such 90 day period to independently confirm that the Chiller Work has been Completed (and, if no objection has been delivered to Seller within such 90 day period, such confirmation shall be deemed to have been given and Seller’s indemnification obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Chiller Work shall be deemed to be discharged), (4) in the case of the Garage Work, 90 days after the Completion of the Garage Work provided that Purchaser and its agents shall have such 90 day period to independently confirm that the Garage Work has been Completed (and, if no objection has been delivered to Seller within such 90 day period and Seller’s indemnification obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Garage

- 54 -

Work shall be deemed to be discharged) and (5) upon Completion of Landlord’s Initial Work in the case of Landlord’s Initial Work, (B) the end of the Survival Period in the case of Section 10.23(b), and (C) one year after the Closing Date in the case of Section 10.23(c).
