With respect to any of the Due Diligence Materials prepared by third parties, Purchaser further acknowledges and agrees that it understands and has been informed by Seller that Seller has not and does not adopt or ratify the findings of the third-party consultants who prepared the such reports, does not represent that such reports are accurate in all respects, and does not warrant or represent that such reports can or should be relied upon by Purchaser in making its investment decisions concerning the Property.

(e)Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that Seller and certain of its affiliates may have the following confidential information concerning the Property: state and federal income tax returns and filing information, internal evaluations and appraisals, loan files pertaining to mortgage financing obtained or considered for the Property by Seller or its agents, advisors, and contractors, personnel files related to present and past employees of Seller (if any) and its affiliates, and privileged attorney-client communications. Purchaser hereby disclaims any interest in examining any such confidential information and agrees that such information does not constitute a part of the Due Diligence Materials and that the withholding of such information is not in violation of any duty or obligation owed to Purchaser under this Agreement or otherwise, regardless of the content thereof.

(f)If Purchaser does not elect to terminate this Agreement prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period, then: (a) this Agreement will remain in full force and effect, and (b) AT THE CLOSING PURCHASER WILL BE DEEMED TO HAVE ACCEPTED THE PROPERTY ON AN “AS IS” BASIS, SUBJECT ONLY TO THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT AND THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS SET FORTH IN THE DOCUMENTS EXECUTED AND DELIVERED BY SELLER AT CLOSING (“SELLER’S CLOSING DOCUMENTS”), and (b) Purchaser will be deemed and agreed to accept title to the Property at the Closing subject to the Permitted Exceptions.

SELLER AND PURCHASER AGREE THAT THE PROPERTY WILL BE SOLD “AS IS” AND EXCEPT AS SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT OR IN SELLER’S CLOSING DOCUMENTS, SUCH SALE WILL BE WITHOUT ANY OTHER REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY BY SELLER OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, WARRANTY OF INCOME POTENTIAL, OPERATING EXPENSES, USES, MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE), AND SELLER HEREBY DISCLAIMS AND RENOUNCES ANY SUCH OTHER REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY.

(g)As used in this Agreement, the term “AS IS” means, as and where the Property exists as of the Closing, including, without limitation, all faults, defects, claims, liens, and other conditions of every kind or description with respect to (a) physical and environmental condition of the Property, including defects seen and unseen and conditions natural and artificial, (b) the Permitted Exceptions, (c) the Service Contracts, (d) the Leases, (e) the [****] Documents, (f) the financial operation and condition of the Property, (g) compliance with all laws, ordinances, rules and regulations to which the Property is subject, (h) all claims, demands, actions or causes of action that relate in any way to the property or the ownership and operation thereof, whether known or unknown, and (i) all other matters related in any way to the ownership and operation of the Property, whether known or unknown.

(h)The terms of Section 4.2 shall survive the Closing or the termination of this Agreement, as applicable.

4.3Termination of Inspection Period. If Purchaser for any or no reason determines that the Property is not satisfactory to Purchaser in its sole discretion, Purchaser shall have the right at any time during the Inspection Period (including any period of time extending the Inspection Period, if any, as may be permitted by this Agreement) to notify Seller and Escrow Agent that it has elected to terminate this Agreement. Upon receipt of said notice, Escrow Agent shall immediately return the Earnest Money to Purchaser.

4.4Assumed Service Contracts. Purchaser shall be required to assume each of the Service Contracts to the extent the same affects the Property (each an “Assumed Service Contract” and collectively, the “Assumed Service Contracts”), other than those that are terminable upon not more than thirty (30) days’ notice without penalty, and that Purchaser notifies Seller before the end of the Inspection Period that Purchaser elects to terminate at Closing.

ARTICLE 5

TITLE AND SURVEY

- 5 -

0099994\161282\11916407v3

5.1Title. Within five (5) days after the Effective Date, Purchaser shall order a title commitment (the “Commitment”), together with copies of all title documents listed as exceptions, from Escrow Agent or any nationally recognized title insurance company (such title company is hereinafter referred to as the “Title Company”) agreeing to issue to Purchaser an owner’s policy of title insurance in the total amount of the Purchase Price insuring leasehold marketable title to the Property, subject only to the Permitted Exceptions (as defined below). Purchaser shall have twenty (20) days after the last to be received of the Commitment and the Survey (as hereinafter defined), but no later than five (5) business days before the end of the Inspection Period, within which to notify Seller in writing (the “Title Objection Notice”) of any defects or objections to the title appearing in the Commitment or the Survey (each, a “Title Defect” and collectively, the “Title Defects”). Purchaser’s failure to timely deliver the Title Objection Notice shall be deemed Purchaser’s approval of the Commitment and the Survey. Within five (5) business days following receipt of Purchaser's Title Objection Notice, Seller shall deliver written notice to Purchaser and Title Company identifying those Title Defects, if any, identified in Purchaser's Title Notice that Seller shall undertake to cure or not cure (“Seller’s Response”). If Seller does not deliver a Seller’s Response within said five (5) business days, Seller shall be deemed to have elected not to cure any Title Defects set forth in Purchaser’s Title Objection Notice. If Seller timely elects (or is deemed to have elected) not to remove or otherwise cure a Title Defect in Purchaser’s Title Objection Notice, then Purchaser shall have until the date which is three (3) business days after receipt of Seller’s Response to notify Seller and Title Company in writing of Purchaser’s election to either: (i) waive all such Title Defects (other than those Title Defects that Seller agreed to cure in Seller’s Response), in which event such Title Defects shall be deemed to be Permitted Exceptions (as defined herein); or (ii) terminate this Agreement and the escrow established hereunder, in which event Escrow Agent shall return the Earnest Money to Purchaser, upon such refund being made this Agreement shall terminate, and the parties shall have no further liability hereunder except with respect to those obligations hereunder which expressly survive the termination of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall be required, at or prior to Closing, to pay or cause the removal from title of all monetary liens created by Seller, delinquent real property taxes, and mechanics’ and materialmen’s liens arising from work by or at the behest of Seller encumbering the Premises (“Mandatory Removal Liens”), but excluding the [****] Documents.

5.2Permitted Exceptions. It is understood and agreed that the Property is being sold by Seller to Purchaser free and clear of all liens, claims, and encumbrances except for the Permitted Exceptions, and it is further understood and agreed that the conveyance by Assignment of Lease to be delivered by Seller at Closing shall be subject only to the following (“Permitted Exceptions”):

(a)All matters shown on Schedule B-II of the Commitment which are not Title Defects that Seller has agreed to cure or Mandatory Removal Liens;

(b)Rights of Tenants, as tenants only (with no rights of first refusal or purchase options) pursuant to the Leases;

(c)Real estate taxes and assessments for the year of Closing and subsequent years which are not yet due and payable (subject to proration as set forth herein);

- 6 -

0099994\161282\11916407v3

(d)Those specific matters disclosed by or depicted on the Survey, which are not a Title Defect that Seller has agreed to cure, or if no Survey is obtained, those matters that would be shown by a current accurate survey of the Property; and

(e)The [****] Documents.

5.3Later Title Exceptions. In the event that any supplemental or updated Commitment discloses any additional exceptions to title (each, a “Later Exception”), Purchaser shall have the right to undertake the process as provided in Section 5.1 above (regarding Purchaser’s Title Objection Notice and Seller’s Response) and the Closing Date shall be extended if and to the extent reasonably necessary to accommodate the time periods associated with such process for such Later Exception; provided, however, Purchaser’s deadline to provide a Purchaser’s Title Objection Notice with respect to any Later Exception(s) shall be five (5) business days after Purchaser’s receipt of such supplemental or updated Commitment; provided further, however, if Seller elects, or is deemed to have elected, not to remove or to cure a disapproved Later Exception(s), then Purchaser shall (without waiving its rights to the extent the Later Exception is the result of a Seller default) have the right exercisable in Purchaser’s sole and absolute discretion on or before three (3) business days after Seller’s election or deemed election to either (i) waive its objections to such disapproved Later Exception(s), and proceed to take title to the Premises subject to such Later Exception(s) (in which event such Later Exception(s) shall be deemed Permitted Exceptions), or (ii) terminate this Agreement and the escrow by giving written notice of such termination to Seller, in which case the Earnest Money shall be refunded to Purchaser (even if the Inspection Period has expired). Purchaser’s failure to timely provide Seller with written notice of waiver within said three (3) business day period shall constitute Purchaser’s election to waive its objections to such disapproved Later Exception(s), and proceed to take title to the Premises subject to such Later Exception(s).

5.4Survey. Not later than the end of the Inspection Period, Purchaser, at its sole cost and expense, may obtain a current ALTA survey of the Premises prepared by a registered land surveyor duly licensed in the State of Georgia (the “Survey”).

So long as this Agreement remains in full force and effect, Seller agrees that Seller shall notify Purchaser promptly if Seller obtains knowledge of any transaction or occurrence prior to the Closing which would make any of the representations or warranties of Seller contained in this Agreement materially untrue, inaccurate or incomplete.

Each of the Required Estoppel Certificates shall (a) be executed by the Tenant on the required form without modification, except such modifications that are acceptable to Purchaser in its reasonable determination, (b) be dated no more than thirty (30) days before Closing, (c) confirm the material economic terms of the Lease as described on the attached Initial Rent Roll and in the Leases, (d) state no claim of offset by the Tenant, and (e) not claim any breach or default by Seller under the Lease and not claim any circumstance which would with the giving of notice or passing of time be a breach or default by Seller under any Lease within the aforesaid time period; provided, however, if a form of Estoppel Certificate is attached to or otherwise prescribed in an applicable Lease, then such form shall be deemed to be acceptable to Purchaser so long as such Estoppel Certificate contains no material adverse information or information inconsistent with the applicable Lease, the Initial Rent Roll or the representations of Seller set forth in this Agreement. Seller shall deliver to Purchaser copies of all Estoppel Certificates (or comments thereto) received by Seller within three (3) business days of receipt (or at Closing, if sooner). In the event any Tenant delivers an Estoppel Certificate that is materially inconsistent with the matters set forth in subclauses (a) through (e) (each a “Defective Estoppel”), and Seller is unable to obtain a conforming Estoppel Certificate from such Tenant before the Closing to replace the Defective Estoppel, Purchaser shall have the right to terminate this Agreement and receive a return of its Deposit, in which event this Agreement shall terminate and the parties shall have no further rights or obligations hereunder except as may expressly survive such termination.

As to Escrow Agent:

(a)Escrow Agent shall not be entitled to any fees or compensation for its services hereunder. Escrow Agent shall be liable only to hold said sums and deliver the same to the parties named herein in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, it being expressly understood that by acceptance of this Agreement, Escrow Agent is acting in the capacity as a depository only and shall not be liable or responsible to anyone for any damages, losses, or expenses unless same shall have been caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Escrow Agent.

(b)In the event of any disagreement between Purchaser and Seller resulting in any adverse claims and demands being made in connection with or for the monies involved herein or affected hereby, Escrow Agent shall be entitled to refuse to comply with any such claims or demands so long as such disagreement may continue; and in so refusing Escrow Agent shall make

- 21 -

0099994\161282\11916407v3

no delivery or other disposition of any of the monies then held by it under the terms of this Agreement, and in so doing Escrow Agent shall not become liable to anyone for such refusal; and Escrow Agent shall be entitled to continue to refrain from acting until (a) the rights of the adverse claimants shall have been finally adjudicated in a court of competent jurisdiction of the monies involved herein or affected hereby, or (b) all differences shall have been adjusted by written agreement between Seller and Purchaser, and Escrow Agent shall have a period not exceeding three (3) business days after receipt by Escrow Agent of any notice or request to perform any act or disburse any portion of the monies held by Escrow Agent under the terms of this Agreement. Further, Escrow Agent shall have the right at all times to pay all sums held by it (i) to the appropriate party under the terms hereof, or (ii) into any court of competent jurisdiction after a dispute between or among the parties has arisen, whereupon Escrow Agent’s obligations hereunder shall terminate.

(c)Seller and Purchaser jointly and severally agree to indemnify and hold harmless Escrow Agent from any and all costs, damages, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, that Escrow Agent may incur in its compliance of and in good faith with the terms of this Agreement; provided, however, that this indemnity shall not extend to any acts of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Escrow Agent.

(d)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period, the escrow established hereunder shall be a “sole order” escrow for the benefit of Purchaser (meaning that Escrow Agent shall act solely in accordance with the instructions of Purchaser until the expiration of the Inspection Period in respect of the Earnest Money). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that on or prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period, Purchaser delivers notice to Escrow Agent stating that Purchaser has elected to terminate this Agreement, then Escrow Agent shall refund to Purchaser the Earnest Money without any requirement that Escrow Agent first notify or obtain any approval or consent of Seller (and Escrow Agent agrees that it shall not be permitted to, and shall not, follow any conflicting instructions given by Seller or any third party with regard thereto). Seller agrees in such instance not to deliver any conflicting instructions to Escrow Agent for any reason and hereby instructs Escrow Agent to act in respect of the Earnest Money solely in accordance with Purchaser’s instructions on or prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period. For the avoidance of doubt, if Purchaser makes a demand of Escrow Agent to return the Earnest Money pursuant to this Section, then Purchaser shall be deemed to have terminated this Agreement.

(e)Seller acknowledges that Escrow Agent also represents Purchaser and in the event of any dispute between Seller and Purchaser, Seller acknowledges and agrees that Escrow Agent may represent Purchaser with respect to any disputes with respect to this Agreement or other matters, and Seller agrees that Escrow Agent shall not be disqualified or prevented from representing Purchaser by virtue of its capacity of Escrow Agent.

12.17Judicial Interpretation. Should any of the provisions of this Agreement require judicial interpretation, the court interpreting or construing the same shall not apply the presumption that the terms thereof shall be more strictly construed against one party by reason of the rule of construction that a document is to be construed more strictly against the party who itself or through its agents prepared the same, it being agreed that the agents of all parties have participated in the preparation thereof.

12.18No Assumption of Seller’s Liability. Purchaser is acquiring only the Property from Seller. Purchaser does not assume or agree to pay, or indemnify Seller or any other person or entity against, any liability, obligation, or expense of Seller or relating to the Property in any way except only to the extent, if any, herein expressly and specifically provided. Seller agrees to indemnify and defend Purchaser, and its successors and assigns, against all claims and losses of whatever source or nature asserted against or suffered by Purchaser relating to any and all past development, construction, leasing or sales activities conducted on or relating to the Property, or any of the obligations, claims, defaults, etc., set forth in the Lease or the [****] Documents that arise prior to Closing.

12.19Confidentiality. Except as permitted by this Agreement, neither Purchaser, Seller, nor any broker shall issue any press releases nor make any public statement, public announcement, or public disclosure of any kind concerning the subject matter hereof or the status of negotiations conducted hereunder except as may be jointly agreed to by Seller and Purchaser or as either of them may consider necessary in order to satisfy the requirements of applicable law. The foregoing restrictions shall apply both before and after the Closing. This Section shall survive Closing.

12.20Landlord Warranties For Work Performed Under Leases. To the extent any of the Leases require the landlord under such Leases to warrant any work performed by Landlord or its contractor within the leased premises or otherwise on the Premises or the improvements located thereon (such work is hereinafter referred to as the “Warranty Work”), Seller shall assign to Purchaser all warranties of suppliers and contractors with respect to such leased space, and if consent to such assignment is required, Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such consent and, if not able to obtain such consent, shall cooperate with Purchaser after the Closing until the end of such warranty period to enforce any such warranty. This Section 12.20 shall survive Closing.

12.21Section 1031 or 1033 Exchange. Purchaser and Seller agree that, at either party’s election, this transaction shall be structured as an exchange of like-kind properties under Section 1031 or 1033 of the Internal Revenue Code and the regulations and proposed regulations thereunder. The party so electing shall be known as the “Electing Party,” and the other party shall be known as the “Non-Electing Party.” The parties agree that if either party wishes to make such election, it must do so on or prior to the Closing Date. If the Electing Party so elects, the Non-Electing Party shall cooperate with the Electing Party and execute documentation that may be reasonably requested in connection with any exchange; it being understood, however, that the Non-Electing Party shall not be required to take title to any other property as part of the Section 1031 or 1033 exchange. The Electing Party shall in all events be responsible for all costs and expenses related to the Section 1031 or 1033 exchange and shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Non-Electing Party from and against any and all liability, claims, damages and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs but excluding any attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred by the Non-Electing Party in connection with its review of the documents reasonably necessary to effect the Electing Party’s exchange) actually incurred by the Non-Electing Party and arising out of such Section 1031 or 1033 exchange. The foregoing indemnity shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

12.22Exclusivity. Seller covenants and agrees to refrain, during the term of this Agreement, from making, encouraging or soliciting or otherwise pursuing any other agreement regarding the sale of the Property or any portion thereof or any interest therein, and will deal exclusively with Buyer in good faith toward the completion of the transactions contemplated herein unless this Agreement shall be terminated as provided herein.

12.23Additional Definitions. The term “Section” shall mean any section, sub-section, paragraph, or sub-paragraph set forth in this Agreement, as applicable. The term “Exhibits” shall mean and refer to the following exhibits:
