AGREEMENT FOR PURCHASE AND SALE OF REAL PROPERTY AND ESCROW INSTRUCTIONS

AGREEMENT FOR PURCHASE AND SALE
OF REAL PROPERTY AND ESCROW INSTRUCTIONS

THIS AGREEMENT FOR PURCHASE AND SALE OF REAL PROPERTY AND ESCROW INSTRUCTIONS (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of February 22, 2008 (the “Effective Date”), by and between NHP Cypress Station Partnership, LP, a Texas limited partnership (“Seller”) and GRUBB & ELLIS REALTY INVESTORS, LLC, a Virginia limited liability company (“Buyer”), with reference to the following facts:

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants, premises and agreements herein contained, the parties hereto do hereby agree as follows:

1. Purchase and Sale.

2. Purchase Price. The total Purchase Price of the Property shall be Eleven Million Two Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($11,200,000.00) (“Purchase Price”), and payable as follows:

3. Title to Property.

Seller will, at Seller’s sole expense, cause Land America Title Company (the “Title Company”) to issue a basic Owner’s Policy of Title Insurance (the “Title Policy”) for and on behalf of Buyer in the total amount of the Purchase Price and obtainable at standard rates insuring good, indefeasible and insurable title in and to the Real Property, subject to the Permitted exceptions (defined below). The Title Policy shall contain such endorsements as Buyer may reasonably require (the “Endorsements”). The Title Policy shall not contain any of the following exceptions to title (the “Pre-Disapproved Exceptions”): all labor, materialmens and mechanics liens, mortgages, deeds of trust, and other monetary encumbrances, assessments and/or indebtedness, except for the current installment of non-delinquent real property taxes and assessments payable as part of the real property tax bill.

Buyer acknowledges that it has already received a preliminary title report for the Real Property (the “Commitment”) together with legible copies of all items identified as exceptions therein (the “Title Documents”). Buyer shall have thirty (30) days following the later of (a) the Effective Date; and (b) the receipt of the later of the Title Documents and the “Survey” (as defined in Section 4.1.1) to review and approve, in writing, the condition of the title to the Real Property (“Title Review Period”). If the Title Documents or the Survey reflect or disclose any defect, exception or other matter affecting the Real Property (“Title Defects”) that is unacceptable to Buyer, then Buyer shall provide Seller with written notice of Buyer’s objections no later than the conclusion of the Title Review Period; provided, however, if Buyer shall fail to notify Seller in writing within the Title Review Period either that the condition of title is acceptable or of any specific objections to the state of title to the Real Property, then Buyer shall be deemed to have waived objection to all exceptions to title or other conditions or matters which are shown on the Survey or described in the Title Documents. Seller may, at its sole option, elect, by written notice given to Buyer within seven (7) days following the conclusion of the Title Review Period (“Seller’s Notice Period”), to cure or remove the objections made by Buyer; provided, however, Seller shall in no event have the obligation to cure any objections. The failure of Seller to deliver written notice electing to cure any or all such objected to exceptions during the Seller’s Notice Period shall be deemed an election by Seller not to cure such exceptions. Should Seller elect to attempt to cure or remove any objection, Seller shall have fifteen (15) days from the conclusion of the Title Review Period (“Cure Period”) in which to accomplish the cure. In the event Seller elects (or is deemed to have elected) not to cure or remove any objection, or in any event Seller fails to cure or remove any objection which Seller agrees to cure within the Cure Period, then Buyer shall be entitled, as Buyer’s sole and exclusive remedies, either to (i) terminate this Agreement and obtain a refund of the Deposit or (ii) waive any objections that Seller has not elected to cure and close this transaction as otherwise contemplated herein. The failure of Buyer to provide written notice to Seller within ten (10) days following the expiration of the Seller’s Notice Period waiving any objections Seller has not elected to cure shall be deemed an election by Buyer to terminate this Agreement. Any exceptions to title accepted or deemed accepted by Buyer pursuant to the terms of this Section shall be deemed “Permitted Exceptions.” If at anytime prior to the Close of Escrow, Buyer receives an update or supplement to the Commitment or Survey and such update or supplement discloses one or more Title Defects that are not Permitted Exceptions (in each case, a “New Title Defect”) and any New Title Defect is unacceptable to Buyer, Buyer may, within three (3) business days after receiving such update or supplement to the Commitment or Survey, as the case may be, deliver to the Seller another written notice of Buyer’s objections with respect to any New Title Defect only and the process described in this Section shall apply thereto.

4. Due Diligence Items.

5. Inspections.

Buyer, at its sole expense, shall have the right to conduct feasibility, environmental, engineering and physical studies of the Real Property at any time from and after Effective Date and for a period of twenty-one (21) days thereafter (the “Due Diligence Period”); provided, however, if the Due Diligence Items are not delivered on the Delivery Date, Buyer may, by written notice delivered prior to the conclusion of the original Due Diligence Period, extend the Due Diligence Period for a period equal to the associated delay in delivery of such materials beyond the Delivery Date. Buyer and its duly authorized agents or representatives shall be permitted to enter upon the Real Property at all reasonable times during the Due Diligence Period in order to conduct tenant interviews, engineering studies, soil tests and any other inspections and/or tests that Buyer may deem necessary or advisable (collectively, the “Inspections”). Notwithstanding the above, Buyer shall not conduct any invasive testing (such as a Phase II environmental inspection) without the prior written approval of Seller, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. Buyer shall also give Seller at least twenty-four (24) hours prior notice via electronic mail before accessing the Property and shall use its reasonable efforts to minimize disturbance to the tenants at the Property during any Inspections. Buyer shall promptly return the Property to the same condition following any Inspections. Buyer agrees to promptly discharge any liens that may be imposed against the Real Property as a result of Buyer’s Inspections and to defend, indemnify and hold Seller harmless from all claims, suits, losses, costs, expenses (including without limitation court costs and attorneys’ fees), liabilities, judgments and damages (collectively, “Claims”) incurred by Seller as a result of any Inspections performed by Buyer. The obligations in this Section shall survive Closing or the termination of this Agreement.

THIS AGREEMENT IS AN ARMS-LENGTH AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES. BUYER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT, EXCEPT AS SPECIFICALLY PROVIDED HEREIN, SELLER HAS NOT MADE, DOES NOT MAKE AND SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMS ANY REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES, PROMISES, COVENANTS, AGREEMENTS OR GUARANTIES OF ANY KIND OR CHARACTER WHATSOEVER, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, ORAL OR WRITTEN, PAST, PRESENT OR FUTURE, OF, AS TO, CONCERNING OR WITH RESPECT TO: (A) THE NATURE, QUALITY OR CONDITION OF THE PROPERTY INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE WATER, SOIL AND GEOLOGY; (B) THE INCOME TO BE DERIVED FROM THE PROPERTY; (C) THE SUITABILITY OF THE PROPERTY FOR ANY AND ALL ACTIVITIES AND USES WHICH BUYER MAY CONDUCT THEREON; (D) THE COMPLIANCE OF OR BY THE PROPERTY OR ITS OPERATION WITH ANY LAWS, RULES, ORDINANCES, OR REGULATIONS OF ANY APPLICABLE GOVERNMENTAL AUTHORITY OR BODY; (E) THE HABITABILITY, MERCHANTABILITY, OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OF THE PROPERTY; OR (F) ANY OTHER MATTER WITH RESPECT TO THE PROPERTY. WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, AND EXCEPT AS PROVIDED HEREIN, SELLER DOES NOT AND HAS NOT MADE ANY REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY REGARDING THE PRESENCE OR ABSENCE OF ANY HAZARDOUS MATERIALS ON, UNDER OR ABOUT THE PROPERTY OR THE COMPLIANCE OR NONCOMPLIANCE OF THE PROPERTY WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE ENVIRONMENTAL RESPONSE, COMPENSATION AND LIABILITY ACT, THE SUPERFUND AMENDMENT AND REAUTHORIZATION ACT, THE RESOURCE CONSERVATION RECOVERY ACT, THE FEDERAL WATER POLLUTION CONTROL ACT, THE FEDERAL INSECTICIDE, FUNGICIDE AND RODENTICIDE ACT, THE CLEAN WATER ACT, THE CLEAN AIR ACT, THE TEXAS NATURAL RESOURCES AND ADMINISTRATIVE CODES, THE TEXAS WATER CODE, THE TEXAS SOLID WASTE DISPOSAL ACT, THE TEXAS HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES SPILL PREVENTION AND CONTROL ACT, ANY SO CALLED FEDERAL, STATE OR LOCAL “SUPERFUND” OR “SUPERLIEN” STATUTE, OR ANY OTHER STATUTE, LAW, ORDINANCE, CODE, RULE, REGULATION, ORDER OR DECREE REGULATING, RELATING TO OR IMPOSING LIABILITY (INCLUDING STRICT LIABILITY) OR STANDARDS OF CONDUCT CONCERNING ANY HAZARDOUS MATERIALS. BUYER FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT, BEING GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO INSPECT THE PROPERTY, BUYER WILL BE PURCHASING THE PROPERTY PURSUANT TO ITS INDEPENDENT EXAMINATION, STUDY, INSPECTION AND KNOWLEDGE OF THE PROPERTY, AND BUYER IS RELYING UPON ITS OWN DETERMINATION OF THE VALUE OF THE PROPERTY AND USES TO WHICH THE PROPERTY MAY BE PUT. BUYER FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY INFORMATION PROVIDED OR TO BE PROVIDED WITH RESPECT TO THE PROPERTY WAS OR WILL BE OBTAINED FROM A VARIETY OF SOURCES AND THAT SELLER HAS NOT MADE AND WILL NOT BE OBLIGATED TO MAKE ANY INDEPENDENT INVESTIGATION OR VERIFICATION OF SUCH INFORMATION AND, EXCEPT AS PROVIDED HEREIN, SELLER MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS AS TO THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF SUCH INFORMATION. THE PARTIES AGREE THAT THIS PROVISION WAS A SUBSTANTIAL FACTOR IN DETERMINING THE PURCHASE PRICE OF THE PROPERTY, AND THAT THE ACKNOWLEDGMENTS AND AGREEMENTS OF BUYER SET FORTH IN THIS PARAGRAPH SHALL SURVIVE THE CLOSING AND SHALL NOT BE MERGED THEREIN.

6. Escrow.

Purchase and sale of the Property shall be consummated through an escrow (“Escrow”) to be opened with Escrow Holder within two (2) business days after the execution of this Agreement by Seller and Buyer. This Agreement shall be considered as the Escrow instructions between the parties, with such further consistent instructions as Escrow Holder shall require in order to clarify its duties and responsibilities. If Escrow Holder shall require further Escrow instructions, Escrow Holder may prepare such instructions on its usual form. Such further instructions shall, so long as not inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement, be promptly signed by Buyer and Seller and returned to Escrow Holder within three (3) business days of receipt thereof. In the event of any conflict between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and any further Escrow instructions, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control.

For purposes of this Agreement, the “Close of Escrow” shall be defined as the date the Deed is delivered to Buyer and the Purchase Price is paid and released to Seller. The Close of Escrow shall occur on the date that is thirty (30) days after the expiration of the Due Diligence Period (as such period may be extended pursuant to Section 5.1 hereof); or on such other date mutually approved in writing by Seller and Buyer (the “Closing Date”); provided, however, that Buyer shall have the right to set the Closing Date at any date prior to the thirty (30) days after the expiration of the Due Diligence Period without Seller’s consent within ten (10) days’ notice to Seller. In no event shall the Closing Date occur after March 31, 2008. The foregoing notwithstanding, Buyer may, at Buyer’s election, and upon payment of Fifty Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($50,000.00) (the “Extension Deposit”) to Escrow Holder, extend the Close of Escrow for thirty (30) days. In the event an Extension Deposit is paid to Escrow Holder, all references to the Deposit in this Agreement shall include the Extension Deposit.

(a) Taxes and Assessments. All non-delinquent real property taxes, assessments and other governmental impositions of any kind or nature, including, without limitation, any special assessments or similar charges (collectively, “Taxes”), which relate to the tax year within which the Closing occurs based upon the actual number of days in the tax year. With respect to any portion of the Taxes which are payable by any Tenant directly to the authorities, no proration or adjustment shall be made. The proration for Taxes shall be based upon the most recently issued tax bill for the Property. If the most recent tax bill is not for the current tax year, then the parties shall reprorate within thirty (30) days of the receipt of the tax bill for the current tax year. Upon the Close of Escrow and subject to the adjustment provided above, Buyer shall be responsible for real estate taxes and assessments on the Property payable from and after the Close of Escrow. In no event shall Seller be charged with or be responsible for any increase in the taxes or assessments on the Property resulting from the sale of the Property or from any improvements made or leases entered into after the Close of Escrow. With respect to all periods for which Seller has paid Taxes, Seller hereby reserves the right to institute or continue any proceeding or proceedings for the reduction of the assessed valuation of the Property, and, in its sole discretion, to settle the same. Seller shall have sole authority to control the progress of, and to make all decisions with respect to, such proceedings but shall provide Buyer with copies of all communications with the taxing authorities. All net tax refunds and credits attributable to any period prior to the Close of Escrow which Seller has paid or for which Seller has given a credit to Buyer shall belong to and be the property of Seller, provided, however, that any such refunds and credits that are the property of Tenants under Leases shall be promptly remitted by Seller directly to such Tenants or to Buyer for the credit of such Tenants. All net tax refunds and credits attributable to any period subsequent to the Close of Escrow shall belong to and be the property of Buyer. Buyer agrees to cooperate with Seller in connection with the prosecution of any such proceedings and to take all steps, whether before or after the Close of Escrow, as may be necessary to carry out the intention of this subsection, including the delivery to Seller, upon demand, of any relevant books and records, including receipted tax bills and cancelled checks used in payment of such taxes, the execution of any and all consent or other documents, and the undertaking of any acts necessary for the collection of such refund by Seller. Buyer agrees that, as a condition to the transfer of the Property by Buyer, Buyer will cause any transferee to assume the obligations set forth herein.

(b) Rents. Buyer will receive a credit at closing for all rents collected by Seller prior to the Closing and allocable to the period from and after the Close of Escrow based upon the actual number of days in the month. No credit shall be given the Seller for accrued and unpaid rent or any other non-current sums due from Tenants until these sums are paid, and Seller shall retain the right to collect any such rent provided Seller does not sue to evict any tenants or terminate any Leases. Buyer shall cooperate with Seller after Closing to collect any rent under the Leases which has accrued as of the Closing; provided, however, Buyer shall not be obligated to sue any Tenants or exercise any legal remedies under the Leases or to incur any expense over and above its own regular collection expenses. All payments collected from Tenants after Closing shall first be applied to the month in which the Closing occurs, then to any rent due to Buyer for the period after Closing and finally to any rent due to Seller for the period prior to Closing; provided, however, notwithstanding the foregoing, if Seller collects any payments from Tenants after Closing through its own collection efforts, Seller may first apply such payments to rent due the Seller for the period prior to Closing.

(c) CAM Expenses. To the extent that Tenants are reimbursing the landlord for common area maintenance and other operating expenses (collectively, “CAM Charges”), CAM Charges shall be prorated at Closing and again subsequent to Closing, as of the date of Closing on a lease-by-lease basis with each party being entitled to receive a portion of the CAM Charges payable under each Lease for the CAM Lease Year in which Closing occurs, which portion shall be equal to the actual CAM Charges incurred during the party’s respective periods of ownership of the Property during the CAM Lease Year. As used herein, the term “CAM Lease Year” means the twelve (12) month period as to which annual CAM Charges are owed under each Lease. Five (5) days prior to Closing the Seller shall submit to Buyer an itemization of its actual CAM Charges operating expenses through such date and the amount of CAM Charges received by the Seller as of such date, together with an estimate of CAM Charges to be incurred to, but not including, the Close of Escrow. In the event that the Seller has received CAM Charges payments in excess of its actual CAM Charges operating expenses, the Buyer shall be entitled to receive a credit against the Purchase Price for the excess. In the event that the Seller has received CAM Charges payments less than its actual CAM Charges operating expenses, to the extent that the Leases provide for a “true up” at the end of the CAM Lease Year, the Seller shall be entitled to receive any deficit but only after the Buyer has received any true up payment from the Tenant. Upon receipt by either party of any CAM Charge true up payment from a Tenant, the party receiving the same shall provide to the other party its allocable share of the “true up” payment within five (5) days of the receipt thereof.

To assist the Buyer in preparing “true up” reconciliation at the end of the CAM Lease Year, the Seller shall deliver to the Buyer at Closing records of all of the Seller’s CAM Charge expenditures.

(d) Operating Expenses. All operating expenses (including all charges under the service contracts and agreements assumed by Buyer) shall be prorated, and as to each service provider, operating expenses payable or paid to such service provider in respect to the billing period of such service provider in which the Close of Escrow occurs (the “Current Billing Period”), shall be prorated on a per diem basis based upon the number of days in the Current Billing Period prior to the Close of Escrow and the number of days in the Current Billing Period from and after the Close of Escrow, and assuming that all charges are incurred uniformly during the Current Billing Period. If actual bills for the Current Billing Period are unavailable as of the Close of Escrow, then such proration shall be made on an estimated basis based upon the most recently issued bills, subject to readjustment upon receipt of actual bills.

(e) Security Deposits; Prepaid Rents. All deposits, including, without limitation, all prepaid rentals, damage, and other tenant charges and security deposits (including any portion thereof which may be designated as prepaid rent) under Leases, if and to the extent that such deposits are in Seller’s actual possession or control and have not been otherwise applied by Seller to any obligations of any Tenants under the Leases and any interest earned thereon which by law or the terms of the Leases could be required to be paid or refunded to Tenants, shall be assigned to Buyer and either delivered to Buyer or, at Buyer’s option, credited to Buyer against the Purchase Price, and upon the Closing, Buyer shall assume full responsibility for all security deposits to be refunded to the Tenants under the Leases (to the extent the same are required to be refunded by the terms of such Leases or applicable). In the event that any security deposits are in a form other than cash (the instrument constituting such security deposits shall be known as, the “Non-Cash Security Deposits”), Seller will, at Closing cause Buyer to be named as beneficiary under the Non-Cash Security Deposits. Buyer will not receive a credit against the Purchase Price for such security deposits. In the event that Buyer cannot be named the beneficiary under the Non-Cash Security Deposits as of the Closing Date, a cash escrow equal to the amount of the Non-Cash Security Deposit will be established at the Close of Escrow until the Non-Cash Security Deposits are reissued in Buyer’s name. Prior to such time of reissue, Buyer shall be entitled to draw from such cash escrow in the event the terms of the relevant lease entitle the Buyer, as landlord, to draw on the Non-Cash Security Deposit.

(f) Leasing Costs. Seller shall receive a credit at the Closing for all leasing costs, including tenant improvement costs and allowances, and its pro-rata leasing commissions, previously paid by Seller in connection with any Lease or modification to an existing Lease which was entered into after the Effective Date and which is approved or deemed approved by Buyer pursuant to this Agreement, which approval included approval of the tenant improvement costs. The Seller’s pro-rata share shall be equal to a fraction which has as its numerator the number of months left in the base term of the Lease after the Close of Escrow and which has as its denominator the number of months in the base term of the Lease. Seller shall pay for all tenant improvement allowances and leasing commissions with respect to the premises leased as of the Effective Date by the Tenants pursuant to the Leases in effect as of the Effective Date, to the extent that such improvement allowances and leasing commissions are unpaid as of the Close of Escrow.

(g) Percentage Rent. Any percentage rents due or paid under any of the Leases (“Percentage Rent”) shall be prorated between Buyer and Seller outside of Closing as of the Close of Escrow on a Lease-by-Lease basis, as follows; (a) Seller shall be entitled to receive the portion of the Percentage Rent under each Lease for the Lease Year in which Closing occurs, which portion shall be the ratio of the number of days of said Lease Year in which Seller was Landlord under the Lease to the total number of days in the Lease Year, and (b) Buyer shall receive the balance of Percentage Rent paid under each Lease for the Lease Year. As used herein, the term “Lease Year” means the twelve (12) month period as to which annual Percentage Rent is owed under each Lease. Upon receipt by either Buyer or Seller of any gross sales reports (“Gross Sales Reports”) and any full or partial payment of Percentage Rent from any tenant of the Property, the party receiving the same shall provide to the other party a copy of the Gross Sales Report and a check for the other party’s prorata share of the Percentage Rent within five (5) days of the receipt thereof. In the event that the Tenant only remits a partial payment, then the amount to be remitted to the other party shall be its prorata share of the partial payment. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed or construed to require either Buyer to Seller to pay to the other party its prorata share of the Percentage Rent prior to receiving the Percentage Rent from the Tenant, and the acceptance or negotiation of any check for Percentage Rent by either party shall not be deemed a waiver of that party’s right to contest the accuracy or amount of the Percentage Rent paid by the Tenant.

Promptly after delivery to Buyer of the Title Documents, Escrow Holder shall prepare and deliver to Buyer and Seller a schedule which shall state each of the following dates:

If any events which determine any of the aforesaid dates occur on a date other than the date specified or assumed for its occurrence in this Agreement, Escrow Holder shall promptly redetermine as appropriate each of the dates of performance in the aforesaid schedule and notify Buyer and Seller of the dates of performance, as redetermined.

7. Seller Representations, Warranties, and Covenants.

Seller hereby represents and warrants, as of the date hereof and as of the Close of Escrow by appropriate certificate to Buyer as follows:

As used herein, the term “Seller’s knowledge” shall mean the actual knowledge, without investigation, of Mark Kennedy and only of Mark Kennedy. The foregoing representations and warranties of Seller are made by Seller as of the date hereof and again as of Close of Escrow and shall survive the Close of Escrow and shall not be merged as of the date of the Close of Escrow hereunder; provided, however, that such survival shall expire on the earlier of (i) nine (9) months from the Closing Date, and (ii) December 31, 2008. Subject to the limitations in Section 13 below, to the greatest extent permissible by law, Seller shall reimburse, indemnify, defend and hold harmless Buyer from any and all causes of action, claims, demands, losses, liabilities, costs or expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) arising as a result of any breach of a representation or warranty made in this Agreement by Seller  and/or from any transactions or occurrences relating to the Property prior to the Closing Date, other than  as a result of the acts of Buyer and/or any of Buyer’s employees, agents, representatives, contractors or invitees upon the Property. The terms of Seller’s indemnity set forth above with respect to the representations and warranties made herein shall survive following the Close of Escrow.

8. Buyer Representations and Warranties.

Buyer hereby represents and warrants to Seller as of the date hereof and as of the Close of Escrow by appropriate certificate that:

9. Conditions Precedent to Close of Escrow.

The obligations of Buyer to purchase the Property pursuant to this Agreement shall, at the option of Buyer, be subject to the following conditions precedent:

If Buyer notifies Seller of a failure to satisfy the conditions precedent set forth in this Section 9, Seller may, within five (5) days after receipt of Buyer’s notice, agree to satisfy the condition by written notice to Buyer, and Buyer shall thereupon be obligated to close the transaction provided (a) Seller so satisfies such condition and (b) no such right to cure shall extend the Close of Escrow. If Seller fails to agree to cure or fails to cure such condition by the Close of Escrow, this Agreement shall be automatically terminated, the Deposit shall be returned to Buyer without any further action required from either party and neither party shall have any continuing obligations hereunder; provided, however, if such failure constitutes a breach or default of its covenants, representations or warranties Seller shall remain liable for such breach or default as otherwise set forth in this Agreement.

10. Damage or Destruction Prior to Close of Escrow.

In the event that the Real Property should be damaged and/or destroyed by fire or any other casualty prior to Close of Escrow, then Seller shall promptly provide Buyer with written notice of such casualty. If the cost of repairing such damage, as estimated by an architect or contractor retained pursuant to the mutual agreement of the parties (the “Cost of Repairs”), is (a) less than One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000), the Close of Escrow shall proceed as scheduled and any insurance proceeds, plus the cash amount of any associated deductible, shall be paid over to Buyer; or (b) greater than Three Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($350,000), then Buyer may in its discretion either (i) elect to terminate this Agreement, in which case the Deposit shall be returned to Buyer without any further action required from either party, Buyer and Seller shall each be liable for one-half of any escrow fees or charges and neither party shall have any further obligation to the other or (ii) proceed to Close of Escrow in which event any insurance proceeds, plus the cash amount of any associated deductible, shall be paid over to Buyer. In the event that the casualty is uninsured, the Buyer may terminate this Agreement unless the Buyer receives a credit against the Purchase Price equal to the Cost of Repairs. The foregoing notwithstanding, in the event any casualty results in the cancellation of, or rental abatement under, any Lease, Buyer shall have the option to terminate this Agreement without regard to the cost of repairs. Any notice required to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section shall be delivered no later than thirty (30) days following Buyer’s receipt of Seller’s notice of such casualty.

11. Eminent Domain.

If, before the Close of Escrow, proceedings are commenced for the taking by exercise of the power of eminent domain of all or a material part of the Real Property which, as reasonably determined by Buyer, would render the Real Property unacceptable to Buyer or unsuitable for Buyer’s intended use, Buyer shall have the right, by giving written notice to Seller within thirty (30) days after Seller gives notice of the commencement of such proceedings to Buyer, to terminate this Agreement, in which event this Agreement shall automatically terminate, the Deposit shall be returned to Buyer without any further action required from either party, Buyer and Seller shall each be liable for one-half of any escrow fees or charges and neither party shall have any continuing obligations hereunder. If, before the Close of Escrow, proceedings are commenced for the taking by exercise of the power of eminent domain of less than a material part of the Real Property, or if Buyer has the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to the preceding sentence but Buyer does not exercise such right, then this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and, on the Close of Escrow, the condemnation award (or, if not theretofore received, the right to receive such portion of the award) payable on account of the taking shall be assigned, or paid to, Buyer. Seller shall give written notice to Buyer within three (3) business days after Seller’s receiving notice of the commencement of any proceedings for the taking by exercise of the power of eminent domain of all or any part of the Real Property. The foregoing notwithstanding, in the event the taking results in the cancellation of, or rent abatement under, any Lease, Buyer shall have the option to terminate this Agreement.

12. Notices.

All notices, demands, or other communications of any type given by any party hereunder, whether required by this Agreement or in any way related to the transaction contracted for herein, shall be void and of no effect unless given in accordance with the provisions of this Section. All notices shall be in writing and delivered to the person to whom the notice is directed, either (a) in person, (b) by United States Mail, as a registered or certified item, return receipt requested, (c) by facsimile transmission (with confirmation by a nationally recognized overnight delivery service), or (d) by a nationally recognized overnight delivery service.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller acknowledges that it has been advised that Buyer may assign this Agreement to a publicly registered company or the subsidiary of a publicly registered company that is managed by, sponsored by or under common control with Buyer or Buyer’s principals and that in such event the assignee will be required to make certain filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC Filings”) that relate to the most recent pre-acquisition fiscal year (the “Audited Year”) and the current fiscal year through the date of acquisition (the “Stub Period”) for the Property.

Unless otherwise specified, in computing any period of time described herein, the day of the act or event after which the designated period of time begins to run is not to be included and the last day of the period so computed is to be included, except that if such last day falls upon a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday under the Federal law or laws of the States of Texas or California, then such period shall run until the end of the next day that is neither a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday under Federal law or the laws of the States of Texas and California. The last day of any period of time described herein shall be deemed to end at 11:59 p.m. Los Angeles, California time.

21. Real Estate Commission.

Seller and Buyer each represent and warrant to the other that neither Seller nor Buyer has contacted or entered into any agreement with any real estate broker, agent, finder or any other party in connection with this transaction, and that neither party has taken any action which would result in any real estate broker’s, finder’s or other fees or commissions being due and payable to any party with respect to the transaction contemplated hereby , except that Seller has contracted with Chris Hansen from Newmark Knight Frank as its broker and Seller shall be solely responsible for paying the commission to said broker from the Purchase Price, but only if, the Close of Escrow occurs pursuant to this Agreement. Such commission shall be payable upon the Close of Escrow from the proceeds of the Purchase Price deposited by Buyer. Each party hereby indemnifies and agrees to hold the other party harmless from any loss, liability, damage, cost, or expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) resulting to the other party by reason of a breach of the representation and warranty made by such party in this Section.

22. Severability.
