In addition, at Purchaser’s expense, the Purchaser may secure such endorsements to the Owner’s Policy as it deems necessary.

B. Within three (3) calendar days from the Effective Date, the Seller shall deliver to the Purchaser any and all existing title policies and survey(s) (the “Existing Survey”) currently in the possession or control of Seller. At its sole option, cost and expense, the Purchaser shall have fifteen (15) calendar days from and after its receipt of such survey(s) to either update such survey(s) or to secure a new ALTA/ACSM Land Title Survey (the “Survey”).

6. TITLE AND SURVEY OBJECTIONS. Within ten (10) calendar days of the Effective Date of this Agreement, the Purchaser shall deliver to the Seller a written statement (“Title Defect Statement”) delineating any objections that the Purchaser may have to any exceptions, easements, encumbrances, interests, or other matters affecting title to the Property (“Title Defect(s)”), and/or any other matters shown on the Commitment and/or Survey, together with legible copies of all documents and instruments enumerated in Schedule B of the Commitment, and the Survey, (either new or updated, as the case may be) in the respective forms specified in this Agreement. If the Survey has not been received by the Purchaser prior to the deadline for the delivery of the Purchaser’s Title Defect Statement, the Purchaser’s Title Defect Statement shall be prepared based on the matters shown on the Existing Survey. If Purchaser delivers a Title Defect Statement to the Seller, the Seller shall have five (5) calendar days after Seller’s receipt of the Title Defect Statement to review the Title Defect Statement and to notify the Purchaser, in writing, (“Seller’s Title Defect Response”) which, if any, of the Title Defects the Seller does not intend to cure or remove. If the Seller fails to timely deliver to the Purchaser a Seller’s Title Defect Response, the Seller shall cure and remove all Title Defects set forth in the Purchaser’s Title Defect Statement prior to the Closing. If the Seller’s Title Defect Response provides that any Title Defect delineated by the Purchaser in its Title Defect Statement will not be cured or removed by the Seller prior to the Closing the Purchaser may elect to either; (i) approve the Commitment and Survey and accept title to the Property subject to any such uncured Title Defect; provided, however, the Purchaser shall have the right to deduct from the Purchase Price funds necessary to satisfy outstanding construction, broker’s, mortgage-related or judgment liens, and any special assessments or deferred or delinquent real estate taxes, or (ii) terminate this Agreement. If the Seller fails to cure or remove any Title Defect delineated by the Purchaser in its Title Defect Statement which the Seller is obligated to cure or remove as provided herein prior to the Closing the Purchaser may elect to either; (i) approve the Commitment and Survey and accept title to the Property subject to any such uncured Title Defect; provided, however, the Purchaser shall have the right to deduct from the Purchase Price funds necessary to satisfy outstanding construction, broker’s, mortgage-related or judgment liens, and any special assessments or deferred or delinquent real estate taxes, or (ii) terminate this Agreement. The removal or cure of any Title Defect shall be evidenced by an endorsement to, or revision of, the Commitment and/or a revision of the Survey that shows such Title Defect to be cured or removed and which is reasonably acceptable to the Purchaser. If at anytime prior to the Closing, the Purchaser shall update the Commitment and such Commitment discloses any new liens, encumbrances or other matters that are not Permitted Exceptions or if the initial Purchaser’s Title Defect Statement is based on matters shown on the Existing Survey and the Survey discloses new matters not reflected in the Existing Survey (in each case, a “New Title Defect(s)”) and any New Title Defect is unacceptable to the Purchaser, Purchaser may, at any time within five (5) calendar days after receiving such updated Commitment or Survey, as the case may be, deliver to the Seller another objection statement with respect to any New Title Defect and the process described in this Paragraph 6 shall apply thereto. Upon any such termination by the Purchaser, the Deposit shall be immediately returned to the Purchaser and each party shall be released from all duties and obligations under this Agreement, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement. The Closing Date shall be extended to the extent necessary to allow for the time periods provided in this Paragraph 6.

7. INFORMATION AND ACCESS TO THE PROPERTY.

The Purchaser agrees to pay all of the costs and expenses associated with its investigation and testing and to repair and restore, at the Purchaser’s expense, any damage to the Property caused by the Purchaser’s investigations or testing. The Purchaser also agrees to hold the Seller harmless from all costs, expenses and liabilities arising out of the Purchaser’s negligence or willful misconduct or that of its employees, agents, consultants or contractors in performing its evaluation of the Property, except that the Purchaser shall have no responsibility to the Seller, and the Seller hereby releases the Purchaser from liability for any damage to persons or property or any release arising out of existing environmental conditions or subterranean structures or utilities. The Purchaser shall not permit any construction liens or any other liens to attach to the Property by reason of the performance of any work or the purchase of any materials by the Purchaser or any other party in connection with any inspections conducted by or for the Purchaser. The Purchaser shall give notice to the Seller a reasonable time prior to entry onto the Property and shall permit the Seller to have a representative present during all inspections conducted at the Property. The terms of this paragraph shall survive the Closing or termination of this Agreement, as the case may be. Purchaser may conduct interviews of the tenants and Seller shall cooperate with Purchaser and use reasonable efforts for tenants to be available for interviews.

If the Purchaser does not provide the Notice To Proceed prior to the expiration of the Investigation Period, this Agreement shall automatically terminate and be of no further force and effect and the Title Company shall immediately return the Deposit to the Purchaser and both parties shall be released from all duties and obligations under this Agreement, except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement.

C. On or before the expiration of the Investigation Period, the Purchaser may deliver written notice to the Seller (the “Property Contracts Notice”) specifying any Property Contracts with respect to which the Purchaser desires to have the Seller deliver notices of termination at the Closing (the “Terminated Contracts”) whereupon such Terminated Contracts shall not be assigned to, or assumed by, the Purchaser. To the extent that any such Terminated Contract requires payment of a penalty or premium for cancellation, the Seller shall be solely responsible for the payment of any such cancellation fees or penalties. If the Purchaser fails to deliver the Property Contracts Notice on or before the expiration of the Investigation Period, there shall be no Terminated Contracts and the Purchaser shall assume all Property Contracts at the Closing.

The Purchaser hereby makes the following representations and warranties to the Seller as of the Effective Date, and as of the Closing Date, with the understanding that each of the following covenants, representations and warranties are material and have been relied upon by the Seller in connection herewith:

A. The Purchaser has the full capacity, right, power and authority to execute, deliver and perform this Agreement and all documents to be executed by the Purchaser pursuant hereto, and all required actions and approvals therefor have been duly taken and obtained.

If the Purchaser has provided its Notice To Proceed to the Seller and thereafter this transaction fails to close as a result of a material default by Purchaser with respect to any of the terms of this Agreement, and such material default continues for a period of ten (10) calendar days after the Seller notifies the Purchaser in writing of such event, the Seller’s sole and exclusive remedy for such material default shall be the cancellation and termination of this Agreement and the right to receive and retain the Deposit. Upon such termination, each party shall be released from all duties and obligations under this Agreement (except as otherwise provided in this Agreement), and the Title Company shall immediately pay the Deposit to the Seller as liquidated damages and as the Seller’s sole and exclusive remedy, it being understood and agreed that the Seller is hereby releasing and/or waiving any right it might have to either specifically enforce this Agreement or to sue for damages. The Seller has agreed to this liquidated damages provision because of the difficulty of ascertaining the Seller’s actual damages given the uncertainties of the real estate market, fluctuating property values and differences of opinion with respect to such matters and has agreed that the liquidated damages are intended not as a penalty.

13. SELLER’S DEFAULT. If this transaction fails to close as a result of a default by Seller with respect to any of the terms of this Agreement, and such default continues for a period of ten (10) calendar days after the Purchaser notifies the Seller in writing of such event, the Purchaser shall be entitled to the return of the Deposit and may, at its option, elect to:

A. Terminate this Agreement upon written notice to the Seller, in which event, both parties shall be released from all duties and obligations under this Agreement, except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement, and the Deposit shall be returned to the Purchaser; or

B. Enforce specific performance of the Seller’s obligations under this Agreement, including specifically the conveyance of the Property to the Purchaser in the condition required hereby; and/or

C. If, and only if, Seller’s default is (i) a willful refusal by Seller to convey the Property to Purchaser as required by this Agreement or (ii) Seller’s refusal to correct a breach or defect which is within the Seller’s reasonable control, seek an immediate return of the Deposit and immediate reimbursement of all out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Purchaser in connection with its proposed acquisition of the Property including, but not limited to, legal fees. In the event that the Purchaser elects to seek reimbursement of such costs and expenses from the Seller, the Seller’s liability to Purchaser for all such costs and expenses shall be limited to the Purchaser’s actual out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Purchaser in connection with its proposed acquisition of the Property, and the Purchaser shall not claim, sue for or accept an award in excess of such amount.

18. CLOSING PRORATIONS AND ADJUSTMENTS. All normal and customary proratable items, including by way of illustration and not limitation, real estate taxes and assessments, collected rents, operating expenses, personal property taxes and other operating expenses and fees, shall be prorated as of the Closing Date, the Seller being charged or credited, as appropriate, for all of the same attributable to the period up to the Closing Date (and credited for any amounts paid by the Seller attributable to the period on or after the Closing Date, if assumed by the Purchaser) and the Purchaser being responsible for, and credited or charged, as the case may be, for all of the same attributable to the period on and after the Closing Date. Such adjustments shall be paid by the Purchaser to the Seller (if the prorations result in a net credit to the Seller) or by the Seller to the Purchaser (if the prorations result in a net credit to the Purchaser) by increasing or reducing the cash to be paid by the Purchaser at Closing.

A. All real and personal property taxes and assessments (general or special) which have become due and payable; all charges for improvements or services already made to, or which benefit the Property, which have not yet become due and payable; and all assessments (general or special) arising out of or in connection with any assessment district created or confirmed prior to the Closing Date shall be paid in full by the Seller at the Closing whether due in installments or otherwise. All real and personal property taxes (“Current Taxes”) levied against any portion of the Property during the calendar year in which the Closing Date occurs shall be prorated and adjusted as of the Closing Date such that the Seller is responsible for that portion of the Current Taxes allocable to the period from the beginning of such calendar year to the Closing Date, and the Purchaser is responsible for that portion of the Current Taxes allocable to the period from the Closing Date through the end of the calendar year. If the tax bills for the Current Taxes have not been issued as of the Closing Date, the Seller and the Purchaser agree to use the amount of the taxes for the calendar year immediately preceding the calendar year in which the Closing Date occurs for the purpose of computing prorations under this paragraph and such prorations shall be adjusted between the Seller and the Purchaser upon presentation of written evidence that the actual taxes due and payable during the calendar year in which the Closing Date occurs differ from the amounts used at Closing.

B. In the event the Property has been assessed for property tax purposes at such rates as would result in reassessment (i.e., “escape assessment” or “roll-back taxes”) based upon the change in land usage or ownership of the Property on or after the Closing Date, the Purchaser hereby agrees to pay all such taxes and to indemnify and save the Seller harmless from and against all liabilities for such taxes. In the event the Property has been assessed for property tax purposes at such rates as would result in reassessment (i.e., “escape assessment” or “roll-back taxes”) based upon the change in land usage or ownership of the Property prior to the Closing Date, the Seller hereby agrees to pay all such taxes and to indemnify and save the Purchaser harmless from and against all liabilities for such taxes. Such indemnities shall survive the Closing and not be merged therein.

C. The final readings and final billings for utilities will be made, if possible, as of the Closing Date, in which case the Seller shall pay all such bills as of the Closing Date and no proration shall be made at the Closing with respect to utility bills. Otherwise, a proration shall be made based upon the parties’ reasonable good faith estimate and a readjustment made within 30 days after the Closing or upon receipt of the applicable bills, if necessary. The Seller shall be entitled to the return of any deposit(s) posted by it with any utility company, and the Seller shall notify each utility company serving the Property to terminate the Seller’s account, effective as of noon on the Closing Date.

D. If applicable, charges under any ongoing Property Contracts that are assigned by the Seller to the Purchaser, pursuant to the Purchaser’s request, shall be adjusted and prorated between the Seller and the Purchaser as of the Closing Date.

E. All collected rent (whether fixed monthly rentals, additional rentals, escalation rentals, retroactive rentals, operating cost pass-throughs or other sums and charges payable by Tenants under the Leases), income and expenses from any portion of the Property shall be prorated as of the Closing Date (prorated for any partial month). The Purchaser shall receive all collected rent and income attributable to dates from and after the Closing Date. The Seller shall receive all collected rent and income attributable to dates prior to the Closing Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no prorations shall be made in relation to either (i) non-delinquent rents which have not been collected as of the Closing Date, or (ii) delinquent rents existing, if any, as of the Closing Date (the foregoing (i) and (ii) referred to herein as the “Uncollected Rents”). In adjusting for Uncollected Rents, no adjustments shall be made in the Seller’s favor for rents which have accrued and are unpaid as of the Closing, but the Purchaser shall pay the Seller such accrued Uncollected Rents as and when collected by the Purchaser. The Purchaser agrees to bill tenants of the Property for all Uncollected Rents and to take reasonable actions to collect Uncollected Rents, provided, however, that the Purchaser’s obligation pursuant to this sentence shall not obligate the Purchaser to terminate any Tenant Lease with an existing tenant, evict any existing tenant from the Property or commence a lawsuit. To the extent that the Purchaser subsequently collects any Uncollected Rents or revenues allocable to the period prior to the Closing Date, the Purchaser shall remit the same to the Seller; however, except as specifically provided herein, the Purchaser is assuming no obligation whatsoever for the collection of such Uncollected Rents or revenues, and all Uncollected Rents and revenues collected subsequent to the Closing Date shall always, in the first instance, be applied first to current rentals and revenues, if any, then due under the leases or otherwise. Notwithstanding the forgoing, if the Purchaser collects rents from a tenant, which has accrued Uncollected Rents, such collections will first be applied to current rents of the tenant, then to satisfy any outstanding delinquencies of the tenant attributable to post-closing obligations, and then to cover any outstanding delinquencies to Seller attributable to Uncollected Rents.

F. To the extent permitted in the Tenant Leases affecting the Property, and to the extent same has not been completed by the Seller prior to the Closing Date, the Purchaser shall, with the Seller’s cooperation, invoice all tenants for common area maintenance charges, taxes, insurance and other “additional rent” charges which tenants are required to pay under said Tenant Leases, and attributable to calendar year 2007. The Purchaser shall use its best efforts to collect such revenues and to the extent the Purchaser collects such revenues allocable to the period prior to the Closing Date, the Purchaser shall remit the same to the Seller; provided, however, the Purchaser is assuming no obligation whatsoever for the collection of such revenues, and all revenues collected subsequent to the Closing Date shall always, in the first instance, be applied first to current revenues, if any, then due under the leases. At such time as the Purchaser invoices tenants for common area maintenance charges, taxes, insurance and other “additional rent” charges which tenants are required to pay under said leases and attributable to calendar year 2006, to the extent the Purchaser collects such revenues allocable to the period prior to the Closing Date, the Purchaser shall remit the same to the Seller in accordance with the foregoing terms and conditions.

G. All accrued wages, social security, payroll taxes, unemployment compensation, worker’s compensation, vacation pay, fringe benefits and items of a similar nature due persons employed in connection with the operation and maintenance of the Property shall be paid by the Seller through the Closing Date.

H. At Closing, the Purchaser shall receive a credit against the Purchase Price in an amount equal to the received and unapplied balance of all cash (or cash equivalent) tenant deposits, including, but not limited to, security, damage or other refundable deposits or required to be paid by any of the tenants to secure their respective obligations under the Tenant Leases, together, in all cases, with any interest payable to the tenants thereunder as may be required by their respective tenant lease or state law (the “Tenant Security Deposit Balance”). Any cash (or cash equivalents) held by the Seller which constitute the Tenant Security Deposit Balance shall be retained by the Seller in exchange for the foregoing credit against the Purchase Price and shall not be transferred by the Seller pursuant to this Agreement (or any of the documents delivered at Closing), but the obligation with respect to the Tenant Security Deposit Balance nonetheless shall be assumed by the Purchaser.

I. Seller shall be responsible for paying all deed transfer, revenue or similar taxes with respect to the sale of the Property to Purchaser, and for the cost of recording any documents clearing title to the Property.

J. In general, and except as provided in this Agreement or the closing documents, the Seller shall be entitled to all income, and shall pay all expenses, relating to the operation of the Property for the period prior to the Closing Date and the Purchaser shall be entitled to all income, and shall pay all expenses, relating to the operation of the Property for the period commencing on and after the Closing Date. The Purchaser or the Seller may request that the Purchaser and the Seller undertake to re-adjust any item which has been prorated in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement; provided, however, that neither party shall have any obligation to re-adjust any items after the expiration of ninety (90) calendar days after Closing unless such items exceed $1,000.00 in magnitude (either individually or in the aggregate). The provisions of this paragraph shall survive the Closing and delivery of the Deed to the Purchaser.

19. BROKER. The Seller warrants to the Purchaser that the Seller has not taken any action in connection with this transaction that would result in any real estate broker’s fee, finder’s fee, or other fee being due or payable to any party, other than Dekalb Realty Company, Inc. dba Sperry Van Ness (“Seller’s Broker”). The Seller agrees to pay to the Broker, at Closing, a commission of five percent (5.0%) of the Purchase Price. The Purchaser warrants to the Seller that the Purchaser has not taken any action in connection with this transaction that would result in any real estate broker’s fee, finder’s fee, or other fee being due or payable to any party other than the Brokers The Purchaser warrants to the Seller that the Purchaser has not taken any action in connection with this transaction that would result in any real estate broker’s fee, finder’s fee, or other fee being due or payable to any party other than the Broker. The Seller and the Purchaser respectively agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the other from and against any and all claims, fees, commissions and suits of any real estate broker or agent with respect to services claimed to have been rendered for or on behalf of such party in connection with the execution of this Agreement or the transaction contemplated herein, provided that, in any event, the Seller shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Purchaser from and against any and all claims, fees, commissions and suits of the Broker with respect to any and all services claimed to have been rendered in connection with the execution of this Agreement or the transaction contemplated herein. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, the terms of this Paragraph 19 shall survive the Closing or termination of this Agreement.

Neither the existence nor the terms of this Agreement shall be disclosed by the Seller or the Purchaser to any third party, without the prior approval of the other party hereto; provided, however, the Seller and the Purchaser shall be entitled to disclose the existence and terms of this Agreement to their respective employees, partners, officers, directors, prospective lenders and accountants, attorneys and other professional advisors to the extent necessary to negotiate the terms of, and perform their obligations under, this Agreement, and the Purchaser may issue a press release and otherwise provide such other disclosure as may be required in order for it to comply with the securities laws.

35. RECORDING. Neither the Seller nor the Purchaser shall record this Agreement. However, the Purchaser may record in the County where the Property is located a memorandum of agreement, affidavit of interest or similar document reflecting its right to purchase the Property pursuant to the terms hereof.

36. CONDITION OF THE PROPERTY. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, the Property shall be sold, and the Purchaser shall accept possession of the Property on the Closing Date, “AS IS, and WHERE IS,” with no right of setoff or reduction in the Purchase Price.

37. LEASING COMMISSIONS. If during the Investigation Period, and prior to the delivery of Purchaser’s Notice To Proceed, the Seller has negotiated and, with the written consent of the Purchaser as to the terms and conditions thereof, entered into and executed a Tenant Lease for any part of the Property, then to the extent Seller is obligated to pay, and in fact has paid, a leasing commission in connection with such lease prior to the Closing, the Seller shall be entitled to a credit, at the Closing, equal to the amount of the commission paid by the Seller. To the extent the Seller is obligated to pay, but as of the Closing has not yet paid, the leasing commission, at the Closing the Seller shall deliver a copy of the commission agreement to the Purchaser and Purchaser shall assume the obligation to pay the commission when due and payable. Any partial payments made by the Seller towards any commission due shall be accounted for at the Closing in a manner consistent with the terms and conditions of this paragraph. After the Purchaser has delivered its Notice To Proceed, the Seller shall not enter any Tenant Leases for any part of the Property. Notwithstanding the above, after Closing, Purchaser shall be responsible for the payment of all leasing commissions payable over the term as may be applicable to the existing leases in Exhibit C.

38. TENANT IMPROVEMENT ALLOWANCES. If during the Investigation Period, and prior to the time the Purchaser has delivered its Notice To Proceed, the Seller has negotiated and, with the written consent of the Purchaser as to the terms and conditions thereof, entered into and executed a Tenant Lease for any part of the Property, and the Seller, as landlord, shall be required under the terms and conditions of such lease to provide a tenant improvement allowance (“Tenant Improvement Allowance”) to improve and prepare the leased premises for the tenant’s use and occupancy thereof, then to the extent Seller is obligated to pay, and in fact has paid, the Tenant Improvement Allowance (to either the tenant under the lease or to any third parties performing the work) in connection with such Tenant Lease prior to the Closing, the Seller shall be entitled to a credit, at the Closing, equal to the Tenant Improvement Allowance paid by the Seller. To the extent the Seller is obligated to pay, but as of the Closing has not yet paid, the Tenant Improvement Allowance, at the Closing the Seller shall assign to the Purchaser all applicable contracts and invoices for such work to the Purchaser (assuming the Tenant Improvement Allowance is not paid directly to the tenant) and Purchaser shall assume the obligation to pay such contracts and invoices. Any partial payments made by the Seller towards any Tenant Improvement Allowance due shall be accounted for at the Closing in a manner consistent with the terms and conditions of this paragraph. All contractors, subcontractors and material suppliers engaged by the Seller to improve and prepare any portion of the leased premises for the tenant’s use and occupancy, and their respective contracts, shall be subject to the prior written consent of the Purchaser, which consent may be withheld in the Purchaser’s sole and absolute discretion.

39. INDEMNIFICATION OF PURCHASER. Seller hereby agrees to, and hereby does, hold Purchaser and its agents, employees, consultants, attorneys, representatives, members, partners, shareholders, successors or assigns (collectively, the “Purchaser Indemnified Parties”) harmless, and agrees to indemnify and defend Purchaser and each of the other Purchaser Indemnified Parties, from and against all claims, demands, actions, suits, liabilities, damages, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs) in any manner arising out of, caused by, or related to any liability arising from the use, occupation, or ownership of the Property prior to the Closing and/or any breach by Seller of any of its covenants, representations or warranties under this Agreement.
