If Purchaser fails to deposit the Earnest Money Deposit within the time period described above, this Agreement shall automatically terminate.
Section 4.2    Independent Consideration. Within one (1) Business Day following the Effective Date, Purchaser shall pay to Seller One Hundred Dollars ($100.00) as independent consideration (the “Independent Consideration”) for Purchaser’s right to purchase the Property and Seller’s execution, delivery, and performance of this Agreement, by delivering a check for such sum to: Hines Global REIT 550 Terry Francois, Attn: George Clever, 101 California Street, Ste. 1000, San Francisco, CA 94111-5894.

Purchaser and Seller hereby acknowledge and agree that the Independent Consideration constitutes adequate and sufficient consideration for Purchaser’s right to purchase the Property and Seller’s execution, delivery, and performance of this Agreement, and that the loss of Purchaser’s ability to use the funds constituting the Earnest Money Deposit as provided in this Agreement constitutes further consideration therefor.
Section 4.3    Escrow Instructions. This Article IV constitutes the escrow instructions of Seller and Purchaser to the Title Company with regard to the Earnest Money Deposit and the Closing (the “Escrow Instructions”). By its execution of the joinder attached hereto, the Title Company agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Article IV. If any requirements relating to the duties or obligations of the Title Company hereunder are not acceptable to the Title Company, or if the Title Company requires additional instructions, the parties agree to make such deletions, substitutions and additions to the Escrow Instructions as Purchaser and Seller hereafter mutually approve in writing and which do not substantially alter this Agreement or its intent. In the event of any conflict between this Agreement and such additional escrow instructions, this Agreement will control as between Seller and Purchaser.
Section 4.4    Documents Deposited into Escrow. On or before the Deposit Time, (a) Purchaser will cause the difference between the Purchase Price and the Earnest Money Deposit and interest thereon (subject to the prorations provided for in Section 10.4 and with the addition of all Closing costs to be paid by Purchaser) to be transferred to the Title Company’s escrow account, in accordance with the timing and other requirements of Section 3.4, (b) Purchaser will deliver in escrow to the Title Company the documents described and provided for in Section 10.2, and (c) Seller will deliver in escrow to the Title Company the documents described and provided for in Section 10.3.
Section 4.5    Closing. When Purchaser and Seller have delivered the documents required by Section 4.4, the Title Company will:

(b)    Insert the applicable Closing Date as the date of any document delivered to the Title Company undated, and assemble counterparts into single instruments;
(c)    Disburse, by wire transfer, to Seller of immediately available federal funds, in accordance with wiring instructions to be delivered by Seller to the Title Company, all sums to be received by Seller from Purchaser at the Closing, consisting of the Purchase Price as adjusted in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement;

Section 4.6    Termination Notices. If at any time prior to the expiration of the Property Approval Period, the Title Company receives a notice from Purchaser that Purchaser has exercised its termination right under Section 5.4 (a “Termination Notice”), the Title Company, within three (3) Business Days after the receipt of such notice or after the Contingency Date, as applicable, will deliver the Earnest Money Deposit to Purchaser without any notice to, or consent of, Seller being required. If at any time, except as provided in the preceding sentence, the Title Company receives a certificate of either Seller or of Purchaser (for purposes of this Section 4.6, the “Certifying Party”) stating that: (a) the Certifying Party is entitled to receive the Earnest Money Deposit pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and (b) a copy of the certificate was delivered as provided herein to the other party (for purposes of this Section 4.6, the “Other Party”) prior to or contemporaneously with the giving of such certificate to the Title Company, then, the Title Company shall notify the Other Party in writing of the Title Company’s receipt of such certificate. Unless the Title Company has then previously received, or receives within three (3) Business Days after such written notification to the Other Party of the Title Company’s receipt of the Certifying Party’s certificate, contrary instructions from the Other Party, the Title Company, within one (1) Business Day after the expiration of the foregoing three (3) Business Day period, will deliver the Earnest Money Deposit to the Certifying Party, and thereupon the Title Company will be discharged and released from any and all liability hereunder. If the Title Company receives contrary instructions from the Other Party within three (3) Business Days following such written notification to the Other Party of the Title

15



Company’s receipt of said certificate, the Title Company will not so deliver the Earnest Money Deposit, but will continue to hold the same pursuant hereto, subject to Section 4.7.
Section 4.7    Joint Indemnification of Title Company; Conflicting Demands on Title Company. If this Agreement or any matter relating hereto (other than the PTR or the Title Policy) becomes the subject of any litigation or controversy, Purchaser and Seller jointly and severally will hold the Title Company free and harmless from any loss or expense, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, that may be suffered by it by reason thereof other than as a result of the Title Company’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. In the event conflicting demands are made or notices served upon the Title Company with respect to this Agreement, or if there is uncertainty as to the meaning or applicability of the terms of this Agreement or the Escrow Instructions, Purchaser and Seller expressly agree that the Title Company will be entitled to file a suit in interpleader and to obtain an order from the court requiring Purchaser and Seller to interplead and litigate their several claims and rights among themselves. Upon the filing of the action in interpleader and the deposit of the Earnest Money Deposit into the registry of the court, the Title Company will be fully released and discharged from any further obligations imposed upon it by this Agreement after such deposit.
Section 4.8    Maintenance of Confidentiality by Title Company. Except as may otherwise be required by law or reasonably necessary in connection with this Agreement and any agreement between Purchaser and Subsequent Purchaser, the Title Company will maintain in strict confidence and not disclose to anyone the existence of this Agreement, the identity of the parties hereto, the amount of the Purchase Price, the provisions of this Agreement or any other information concerning the transactions contemplated hereby, without the prior written consent of Purchaser and Seller in each instance; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prohibit Title Company from disclosing the foregoing information to any Permitted Outside Party.
Section 4.9    Investment of Earnest Money Deposit. The Title Company will invest and reinvest the Earnest Money Deposit, at the instruction and sole election of Purchaser, only in (a) bonds, notes, Treasury bills or other securities constituting direct obligations of, or guaranteed by the full faith and credit of, the United States of America, and in no event maturing beyond the Closing Date, or (b) an interest-bearing account at a commercial bank mutually acceptable to Seller, Purchaser and the Title Company. The investment of the Earnest Money Deposit will be at the sole risk of Purchaser and no loss on any investment will relieve Purchaser of its obligations to pay to Seller as liquidated damages the original amount of the Earnest Money Deposit as provided in Article XIII, or of its obligation to pay the Purchase Price. All interest earned on the Earnest Money Deposit will be the property of Purchaser and will be reported to the Internal Revenue Service as income until such time as Seller is entitled to the Earnest Money Deposit pursuant to this Agreement. Purchaser will provide the Title Company with a taxpayer identification number and will pay all income taxes due by reason of interest accrued on the Earnest Money Deposit.

Section 5.3    Inspection Obligations.
(a)    Purchaser agrees that in inspecting or examining the Property under this Agreement (but only insofar as the same is distinguishable from exercise of Tenant’s possessory interest under the Lease), Purchaser and each Purchaser Party will not damage any part of the Property or any personal property owned or held by Seller or permit any liens to attach to the Property by reason of the exercise of Purchaser’s rights under this Article V. The parties acknowledge that Tenant has an obligation pursuant to Section 9.2 of the Lease to maintain certain insurance coverage, and that such insurance coverage covers any inspections, entries, samplings or tests by Purchaser Parties hereunder. Purchaser will promptly pay when due the costs of all inspections, entries, samplings and tests conducted by Purchaser or any Purchaser Party and examinations done with regard to the Property; and except with respect to any damage that (A) is covered or required to be covered by insurance required to be maintained by Seller as “Landlord” under the Lease and subject to the waiver of subrogation contained in Section 9.3.6 of the Lease; or (B) is subject to Seller’s duty as “Landlord” under the Lease to indemnify Tenant pursuant to Section 9.4.2 of the Lease, promptly restore the Property to its condition as existed immediately prior to any such inspection, investigations, examinations, entries, samplings and tests.

Purchaser, in Purchaser’s sole and absolute discretion, may determine whether or not the Property is acceptable to Purchaser within the Property Approval Period. If Purchaser determines not to proceed with the purchase of the Property in accordance with

this Agreement, then Purchaser shall, prior to 5:00 p.m. (Pacific Time) on the Contingency Date, deliver a Termination Notice to Seller.

If Purchaser does not timely deliver a Termination Notice, Purchaser shall be deemed to have approved the matters described in Sections 5.1 and 5.2 above and elected to waive its right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 5.4, which determination shall be made by Purchaser in its sole and absolute discretion. If Purchaser delivers a Termination Notice pursuant to the foregoing, this Agreement shall automatically terminate, Purchaser shall pay any cancellation fees or charges of Title Company, and except for Termination Surviving Obligations, the parties shall have no further rights or obligations to one another under this Agreement.
Section 5.5    Sale “As Is”. THE TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT HAS BEEN NEGOTIATED BETWEEN SELLER AND PURCHASER, THIS AGREEMENT REFLECTS THE MUTUAL AGREEMENT OF SELLER AND PURCHASER, AND PURCHASER HAS CONDUCTED (OR WILL CONDUCT PRIOR TO THE EXPIRATION OF THE PROPERTY APPROVAL PERIOD) ITS OWN INDEPENDENT EXAMINATION OF THE PROPERTY. OTHER THAN ANY SPECIFIC MATTERS REPRESENTED IN SECTION 8.1, PURCHASER HAS NOT RELIED UPON AND WILL NOT RELY UPON, EITHER DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, ANY REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY OF SELLER OR ANY OF SELLER’S AFFILIATES, AGENTS OR REPRESENTATIVES, AND PURCHASER HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGES THAT NO SUCH REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES HAVE BEEN MADE.

20



SECTION 8.1, THE PROPERTY WILL BE CONVEYED AND TRANSFERRED TO PURCHASER IN ITS PRESENT CONDITION AND STATE OF REPAIR, “AS IS” AND “WHERE IS”, WITH ALL FAULTS. Purchaser represents that it is a knowledgeable, experienced and sophisticated owner of real estate, and that it is relying solely on its own expertise and that of Purchaser’s consultants in purchasing the Property. In addition, Purchaser, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, acknowledges and agrees that, except for the representations and warranties expressly set forth in this Agreement, the Deed, the General Conveyance or other Closing Documents, it is not acting (including, as applicable, by entering into this Agreement or consummating the Sale) in reliance on: (i) any representation or warranty, express or implied; (ii) any estimate, projection, prediction, data, financial information, memorandum, presentation or other materials or information provided or addressed to Purchaser or any of its Affiliates or Representatives, including any materials or information made available in the electronic data room hosted by or on behalf of Seller in connection with the Sale, in connection with presentations by Seller or in any other forum or setting; or (iii) the accuracy or completeness of any other representation, warranty, estimate, projection, prediction, data, financial information, memorandum, presentation or other materials or information; provided, however, that the foregoing in no way diminishes Tenant’s right to rely upon data Seller has provided to Purchaser in connection with the discharge of Seller’s obligations under the Lease to the extent provided in the Lease. Purchaser has conducted, and will conduct, such inspections, investigations and other independent examinations of the Property and related matters as Purchaser deems necessary, including but not limited to the physical and environmental conditions thereof, and will rely upon same and not upon any statements of Seller (excluding the limited specific matters represented by Seller in Section 8.1 or elsewhere in this Agreement) or of any Affiliate, officer, director, employee, agent or attorney of Seller. Purchaser acknowledges that all information obtained by Purchaser was obtained from a variety of sources and, except as set forth in this Agreement, Seller will not be deemed to have represented or warranted the completeness, truth or accuracy of any of the Documents or other such information heretofore or hereafter furnished to Purchaser. Upon Closing, Purchaser will assume the risk that adverse matters, including, but not limited to, adverse physical and environmental conditions, may not have been revealed by Purchaser’s inspections and investigations. Purchaser further hereby assumes the risk of changes in applicable Environmental Laws relating to past, present and future environmental health conditions on, or resulting from the ownership or operation of, the Property. Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that upon Closing, Seller will sell and convey to Purchaser, and Purchaser will accept the Property, “AS IS, WHERE IS,” with all faults. Purchaser further acknowledges and agrees that, except for the Lease, there are no oral agreements, warranties or representations, collateral to or affecting the Property, by Seller, any Affiliate of Seller, any agent of Seller or any third party. Seller is not liable or bound in any manner by any oral or written statements, representations or information pertaining to the Property furnished by any real estate broker, agent, employee, servant or other person, unless the same are specifically set forth or referred to herein or in the Lease. Purchaser acknowledges that the Purchase Price reflects the “AS IS, WHERE IS” nature of this sale and any faults, liabilities, defects or other adverse matters that may be associated with the Property, and, except as provided in this Agreement, nothing in this Agreement may be construed to diminish Seller’s or Purchaser’s rights or obligations under the Lease, including, without limitation, with respect to the physical and environmental conditions on or otherwise affecting the Property to the extent provided in the Lease. Purchaser, with Purchaser’s counsel, has fully reviewed the disclaimers and waivers set forth in this Agreement, and understands the significance and effect

21



thereof. Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that the disclaimers and other agreements set forth herein are an integral part of this Agreement, and that Seller would not have agreed to sell the Property to Purchaser for the Purchase Price without the disclaimers and other agreements set forth in this Agreement.

If the actual amounts of the Proration Items are not known as of the Closing Time, the prorations will be made at Closing on the basis of the best evidence then available; thereafter, when actual figures are received, re-prorations will be made on the basis of the actual figures, and a final cash settlement will be made between Seller and Purchaser. No prorations will be made in relation to insurance premiums (except to the extent covered by the proration of Operating Expense Recoveries), and Seller’s insurance policies will not be assigned to Purchaser. Final readings and final billings for utilities will be made if possible as of the Closing Time, in which event no proration will be made at the Closing with respect to utility bills (except to the extent covered by the proration of Operating Expense Recoveries). Seller will be entitled to all deposits presently in effect with the utility providers, and Purchaser will be obligated to make its own arrangements for deposits with the utility providers. A final reconciliation of Proration Items shall be made by Purchaser and Seller on or before the last day of the Survival Period (herein, the “Final Proration Date”). The provisions of

35



this Section 10.4 will survive the Closing until the Final Proration Date, and in the event any items subject to proration hereunder are discovered prior to the Final Proration Date, the same shall be promptly prorated by the parties in accordance with the terms of this Section 10.4.
(b)    Purchaser will receive a credit on the Closing Statement for the prorated amount (as of the Closing Time) of all Rentals previously paid by Tenant to Seller and attributable to any period following the Closing Time. “Rentals” includes fixed monthly rentals, parking rentals and charges, additional rentals, percentage rentals, escalation rentals (which include Tenant’s proportionate share of building operation and maintenance costs and expenses as provided for under the Lease), retroactive rentals, administrative charges, utility charges, association dues, storage rentals, special event proceeds, temporary rents, telephone receipts, locker rentals, vending machine receipts and other sums and charges payable to Seller under the Lease. Rentals are “Delinquent” if they were due prior to the Closing Time and payment thereof has not been made on or before the Closing Time. Delinquent Rentals will not be prorated. Seller shall have the right to pursue Delinquent Rentals after Closing. With respect to any Delinquent Rentals received by Purchaser within the Survival Period, Purchaser shall pay to Seller any rent or payment actually collected during the Survival Period properly attributable to the period prior to the Closing Time. All sums collected by Purchaser during the Survival Period, from Tenant (excluding Tenant payments for Operating Expense Recoveries attributable to the period prior to the Closing Time and tenant specific billings for tenant work orders and other specific services as described in and governed by Section 10.4(d) below, all of which shall be payable to and belong to Seller in all events, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary) will be applied first to amounts currently owed by Tenant to Purchaser (including Delinquent Rentals attributable to the period after the Closing Time), then any collection costs of Purchaser related to Tenant, and then to prior delinquencies owed by Tenant to Seller. Any sums collected by Purchaser and due to Seller will be promptly remitted to Seller, and any sums collected by Seller and due to Purchaser will be promptly remitted to Purchaser.
(c)    Seller will prepare a reconciliation as of the Closing Time of the amounts of all billings and charges for operating expenses and taxes for calendar years 2018 and 2019 that are chargeable to Tenant under the Lease through the Closing Time (collectively, “Operating Expense Recoveries”). If the actual, aggregate amounts that have been collected under the Lease for Operating Expense Recoveries for calendar years 2018 and 2019 constitute a lesser amount than would have been owed by Tenant if the reconciliation under the Lease was completed as of the Closing Time based on the operating expenses incurred by Seller for calendar year 2018 and 2019 up to the Closing Time (as prorated pursuant to Section 10.4(a) above), Purchaser will pay such difference to Seller at Closing as an addition to the Purchase Price. If the actual, aggregate amounts that have been collected under the Lease for Operating Expense Recoveries for calendar years 2018 and 2019 constitute a greater amount than would have been owed if the reconciliation under the Lease was completed as of the Closing Time based on the operating expenses incurred by Seller for calendar years 2018 and 2019 up to the Closing Time (as prorated pursuant to Section 10.4(a) above), Seller will pay to Purchaser at Closing as a credit against the Purchase Price equal to such excess collected amount. The foregoing shall not alter Seller’s or Tenant’s liability to each other under the Lease with respect to such Operating Expense Recoveries paid to Seller and/or owing to Seller prior to the Closing, including, by way of illustration only, the right of the Tenant under the Lease to audit Operating Expenses (as defined in the Lease).

36



(d)    With respect to specific tenant billings for work orders, special items performed or provided at the request of a Tenant or other specific services, which are collected by Purchaser or Seller after the Closing Time but expressly state they are for such specific services rendered by Seller or its property manager prior to the Closing Time, Purchaser shall cause such collected amounts to be paid to Seller, or Seller may retain such payment if such payment is received by Seller after the Closing Time.
(e)    Real and personal property taxes and taxes and assessments pursuant to any Mello-Roos District affecting the Property (including the CFDs) shall be prorated on the basis that Seller is responsible for (a) all such taxes for the fiscal year of the applicable taxing authorities occurring before the Current Tax Period, and (b) that portion of such taxes for the Current Tax Period determined on the basis of the number of days that have elapsed from the first day of the Current Tax Period to the Closing Date, inclusive, whether or not the same shall be payable before the Closing. If as of the Closing the actual tax bills for the year or years in question are not available and the amount of taxes to be prorated cannot be ascertained, then rates and assessed valuation of the previous year, with known changes, shall be used, and when the actual amount of taxes and assessments for the year or years in question shall be determinable, then such taxes and assessments will be re-prorated between the parties to reflect the actual amount of such taxes and assessments. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent Tenant is responsible for reimbursement or payment of such taxes and assessments pursuant to the Lease, the amount payable by Tenant in excess of base year taxes shall not be prorated except to the extent that Seller has received estimated payments and has not yet applied the same to the tax or assessment to which Tenant’s reimbursement or payment under the Lease is attributed.
Section 9.5    Delivery of Real Property. Upon completion of the Closing, Seller will relinquish to Purchaser any possessory interest in the Real Property and Improvements arising from its reversionary interest therein, subject only to the Lease and the Permitted Exceptions.
Section 9.6    Costs of Title Company and Closing Costs. Costs of the Title Company and other Closing costs incurred in connection with the Closing will be allocated as follows:
(a)    Purchaser will pay (i) all premium and other incremental costs for obtaining the Title Policy and all endorsements thereto, (ii) all premiums and other costs for any mortgagee policy of title insurance, including but not limited to any endorsements or deletions, (iii) Purchaser’s attorney’s fees, (iv) all of the Title Company’s escrow and closing fees, if any, (v) the costs of any update, modification, or recertification of the Survey, (vi) any mortgage recording tax relating to mortgages or deeds of trust placed upon the Property by Purchaser, and (vii) any recording fees.
(b)    Seller will pay (i) the initial cost of the Survey, (ii) Seller’s attorneys’ fees, (iii) any Transfer Taxes imposed on the sale of the Real Property by Seller to Purchaser (but not on any financing, nor on the Subsequent Sale Transaction, if any), and (iv) prepayment penalties or premiums incurred by Seller with respect to prepaying the Property’s existing mortgage indebtedness at Closing (if any).

37



(c)    Any other costs and expenses of Closing not provided for in this Section 10.6 shall be allocated between Purchaser and Seller in accordance with the custom in the county in which the Real Property is located.
(d)    If the Closing does not occur on or before the Closing Date for any reason whatsoever, the costs incurred through the date of termination will be borne by the party incurring same.
Section 9.7    Post-Closing Delivery of Notice Letters. Immediately following Closing, Purchaser will deliver to each party required to receive notice under any REAs, covenants and CC&Rs, including without limitation, the Parking Structure Easement Agreement, (via messenger or certified mail, return receipt requested) a written notice executed by Purchaser and Seller (i) acknowledging the sale of the Property to Purchaser, and (ii) acknowledging that Purchaser has assumed Seller’s obligations under the operative document (the “REA Notice Letters”). Purchaser shall provide to Seller a copy of each REA Notice Letter promptly after delivery of same, and proof of delivery of same promptly after such proof is available.
Section 9.8    General Conditions Precedent to Purchaser’s Obligations Regarding the Closing. The obligation of Purchaser to close the transaction hereunder shall be conditioned upon the satisfaction of the following conditions, any of which may be waived by written notice from Purchaser to Seller:
(a)    Seller shall have performed or complied in all material respects with all of the obligations of Seller set forth in Section 10.3 as of the Closing Date;
(b)    The Title Company shall be irrevocably committed to issue the Title Policy as provided in Section 6.3 in the form attached hereto as Exhibit O;
(c)    Seller shall have cured all Must-Cure Matters;
(d)    Purchaser shall have received the Acceptable Association Estoppel to the extent required under Section 7.4;
(e)    Seller shall have provided the Title Company and Purchaser either (i) an acknowledgement from the Prior Purchaser that it has no claim to purchase the Property or (ii) such other agreement, document, or evidence, sufficient to allow the Title Company to issue the Title Policy without exception for Must Cure Matter (iv) described in Exhibit L; and
(f)    Subject to Section 10.9, each of the representations and warranties of Seller contained in this Agreement shall be true and correct (determined without regard to any qualification by any of the terms “material” therein) as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date as though made on and as of the Closing Date (except to the extent a representation or warranty is made as of a specific date, in which case such representation or warranty shall be true and correct at and as of such date, without regard to any such qualifications therein), except with respect to Authorized Qualifications and Immaterial Events.

38



The term “Authorized Qualifications” shall mean any qualifications to the representations and warranties made by Seller in Section 8.1 to reflect (i) new Service Contracts which must be terminable upon the Closing, and/or Service Contract amendments which do not extend beyond the Closing, executed by Seller in accordance with this Agreement, (ii) any action taken by Seller in accordance with the Lease, Service Contracts, or Permitted Exceptions as authorized by this Agreement, and (iii) a Lease default by Tenant or the bankruptcy of Tenant occurring after the Effective Date. The term “Immaterial Events” shall mean facts or events that do not result in a loss of value, damage, claim or expense in excess of $250,000. Authorized Qualifications and Immaterial Events shall not constitute a default by Seller or a failure of a condition precedent to Closing.
Section 9.9    Breaches of Seller’s Representations Prior to Closing.
(a)    If, prior to the Closing, there occurs or exists a breach of a representation or warranty of Seller that in the aggregate with all other such breaches has the effect of constituting Authorized Qualifications and/or Immaterial Events, then Purchaser shall have no remedy therefor and must proceed to the Closing with no adjustment of the Purchase Price and Seller shall have no liability therefor. If, prior to the Closing, a breach (which is not the result of an Authorized Qualification or an Immaterial Event) occurs for which the damage from all Claims for such breaches is greater than $250,000 (“Material Breach”), then Purchaser may, as its sole and exclusive remedy under this Agreement, upon the delivery of written notice of such breach to Seller either (i) proceed to close the purchase of the Property without adjustment of the Purchaser Price on account of such asserted breach (and with no liability to Seller) and waive any claims against Seller for such Claims with respect to such breach; or (ii) terminate this Agreement by the giving of the written notice to Seller of same, in which event this Agreement will terminate as of the expiration of the Termination Nullification Period if Seller doesn’t deliver a Termination Nullification Notice, in which case the Earnest Money Deposit shall be returned to Purchaser and Seller shall reimburse Purchaser up to a maximum of $100,000 for Seller’s actual third party costs in connection with the transaction contemplated by this Agreement, provided, if Purchaser does not exercise its right to terminate this Agreement on or before the earlier of (1) Closing or (2) the date that is five (5) Business Days after Purchaser becomes aware of such facts or events, then Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected to waive the condition and proceed to Closing.
(b)    Notwithstanding Section 10.9(a), if Purchaser has elected to terminate this Agreement, Seller may nullify such termination within ten (10) Business Days after receipt by Seller of such notice from Purchaser (or the earlier of the Closing Date) electing to terminate this Agreement (the “Termination Nullification Period”) by (x) delivering to Purchaser a notice nullifying such termination (a “Termination Nullification Notice”) and (y) either (1) crediting the Purchase Price in the amount of the alleged Claims (the “Material Breach Credit”), in which event Purchaser shall be required to purchase the Property without further adjustment to the Purchase Price under this Section 10.9 or (2) if Seller disputes that Purchaser is entitled to terminate this Agreement under this Section 10.9 because Seller asserts that either (I) no such breach has occurred or exists, (II) the asserted breach is not a Material Breach and/or (III) the amount of the alleged Claims exceeds the diminution in the value of the Property or other loss, damage, cost or expense directly resulting from such breach (a “Claim Dispute”), Seller may deliver a Claims Dispute Notice (as defined below) and deposit with Title Company upon Closing as described in Section 10.9(c) below, an

39



amount equal to the Material Breach Credit, in which event Purchaser shall be required to close the purchase of the Property without further adjustment of the Purchase Price, and such dispute shall be resolved after Closing pursuant to Section 10.9(d) below. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall not have the right to give a Termination Nullification Notice if the total amount of all alleged Claims exceed $5,000,000 (in Purchaser’s good faith and reasonable estimate).
(c)    If, prior to the Closing, Purchaser serves a notice of a Claim asserting a Material Breach and Seller has given a Termination Nullification Notice in accordance with Section 10.9(b), Seller may dispute such notice of a Claim by delivering written notice to Purchaser in the manner herein provided (a “Claim Dispute Notice”). A Claim Dispute Notice shall be given at or prior to the Closing. If Seller has given a Termination Nullification Notice but does not deliver a Claim Dispute Notice, then the parties shall proceed with the Closing as described in Section 10.9(b) and the Purchase Price shall be reduced by the Material Breach Credit. If Seller has given a Termination Nullification Notice and delivers a Claim Dispute Notice, then Seller shall deposit with Title Company at the Closing an amount equal to the Material Breach Credit (the “Escrow Funds”), to be held in escrow pending a resolution of the Claim Dispute by the Arbiter in accordance with the terms set forth in an escrow agreement to be entered into by the parties at the Closing (the form of which to be reasonably agreed by the parties), until the earlier to occur of (i) written agreement of Seller and Purchaser with respect to the disposition of the Escrow Funds, or (ii) a resolution of the Claim Dispute made by the Arbiter pursuant to Section 10.9(d) below. Seller may direct that a portion of the Purchase Price to be paid at Closing be paid to Title Company to serve as the Escrow Funds. Provided Seller has deposited the Escrow Funds with Title Company pending resolution of the Claim Dispute as hereinabove provided, Purchaser shall be required to close title to the Property without adjustment of the Purchase Price on account of the breach in the Claim Dispute.
(d)    The Claim Dispute as set forth in Seller’s Claim Dispute Notice shall be resolved by the arbitration procedure set forth below. Seller shall within ten (10) Business Days after the Closing submit in writing to Purchaser (i) the amount, if any, by which Seller believes the total value of the Property has been diminished or such other loss, damage, cost or expense by reason of the breach claimed by Purchaser (“Seller’s Claimed Damage”) or (ii) that Seller believes no reduction of the value of the Property or such other loss, damage, cost or expense has occurred. The parties shall attempt in good faith to agree upon an individual acceptable to each party to act as arbiter (the “Arbiter”) of the Claim Dispute. If, after expiration of twenty (20) days following Seller’s delivery of a Claim Dispute Notice, the parties are unable to agree upon the selection of the Arbiter, either party may request that an office of the American Arbitration Association in the city and/or county in which the Property is located select a retired jurist or other individual having substantial experience in dispute resolution of commercial real estate matters (who is impartial and has no existing or historical personal or professional relationship with Seller, Purchaser or their respective affiliates) to act as Arbiter. Within ten (10) days after selection of an Arbiter, each party shall deliver to the Arbiter all instruments, documents and other materials forming the basis for the existence or non-existence of a breach or the calculation of the amount of the Claims alleged by Purchaser (“Purchaser’s Claimed Damage”) or Seller’s Claimed Damage, as applicable. Within twenty (20) days of receipt of the submission of such documents and other instruments from both Seller and Purchaser, the Arbiter shall determine whether (x) such a breach has occurred, (y) if so, whether the same constitutes a Material Breach and (z) if a Material Breach has occurred, which

40



of the Purchaser’s Claimed Damage or Seller’s Claimed Damage most closely reflects the actual diminution, if any, in the value of the Property resulting from the Material Breach found to exist. If the Arbiter determines that a Material Breach has occurred, the Arbiter shall have no authority to select an amount which is not either the Purchaser’s Claimed Damage or Seller’s Claimed Damage (the amount actually selected by the Arbiter whether none (if no Material Breach occurred), the Purchaser’s Claimed Damage or the Seller’s Claimed Damage is hereinafter referred to as the “Final Damage”). If the determination of the Arbiter hereunder is that there did not occur a Material Breach, the entire amount of the Escrow Funds shall be paid to Seller in accordance with the Escrow Agreement. If the determination by the Arbiter is that a Material Breach exists and the Arbiter selects (1) the Purchaser’s Claimed Damage, then the Escrow Funds shall be paid to the Purchaser in accordance with the Escrow Agreement or (2) Seller’s Claimed Damage, then a portion of the Escrow Funds in the amount of Seller’s Claimed Damages shall be paid to the Purchaser and the balance of the Escrow Funds shall be paid to Seller, in each case in accordance with the escrow agreement to be agreed by the parties. The determination of the Arbiter hereunder shall be final and binding in all respects against all parties to this Agreement. Purchaser shall in no event be entitled to a credit or any other recourse against Seller for any sum in excess of the Escrow Funds with respect to any Material Breach. The costs and expenses of arbitration hereunder (including the fees and disbursements of the Arbiter) shall be paid by the party whose calculation of diminution in value of the Property resulting from the subject breach shall not have been selected, (i.e. if the Arbiter finds in favor of Seller’s Claimed Damage, Purchaser shall pay the arbitration costs and if the Arbiter finds in favor of the Purchaser’s Claimed Damage, Seller shall pay the arbitration costs), or if the dispute is as to the existence of such a breach, such costs shall be paid by the losing party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if interim payments are required to be made on account of such costs prior to the determination by the Arbiter, such interim payments shall be funded equally by Seller and Purchaser, subject to reimbursement of the prevailing party by the losing party upon the Arbiter’s final determination hereunder.
(e)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained, from and after the date of Closing, with respect to any asserted breach of Seller’s representations and warranties, Seller shall have no liability to Purchaser with respect to such breach under this Agreement if Purchaser has received a credit against the Purchase Price with respect to such breach whether pursuant to this Section 10.9 above or otherwise, or there is pending a Claim Dispute with respect to such breach in respect of which there have been deposited Escrow Funds pursuant to this Section 10.9 on account of such asserted breach (except, in the case of such a Claim Dispute, for the Purchaser’s Claimed Damage or Seller’s Claimed Damage as determined pursuant Section 10.9(d)). Nothing in this Agreement alters Tenant’s rights against Seller under the Lease, and to the extent any alleged Claim constitutes a breach of Seller’s obligations as landlord under the Lease, the dispute resolution provisions set forth in the Lease, rather than those set forth in Section 10.9(d) above, shall control, except to the extent provided in Section 2.4(c).
Section 9.10    General Conditions Precedent to Seller’s Obligations Regarding the Closing. The obligation of Seller to close the transaction hereunder shall be conditioned upon the satisfaction of each of the following conditions, any of which may be waived by written notice from Seller to Purchaser:

41



(a)    Purchaser shall have performed or complied in all material respects with all of the covenants and obligations of Purchaser set forth in Section 10.2, as of the Closing Date; and
(b)    The representations and warranties of Purchaser made in Section 8.2 shall be true and correct in all material respects.
Section 9.11    Failure of Condition. If any condition precedent to Seller’s obligation to effect the Closing (as set forth in Section 10.10) is not satisfied by the Closing Date, then Seller shall be entitled to terminate this Agreement or extend the Closing Date once for up to five (5) Business Days to allow Purchaser to satisfy such condition precedent (in which case, Purchaser shall in good faith expeditiously try to cure such condition precedent during such five (5) Business Day extension) by notice thereof to Purchaser and the Title Company. If any condition precedent to Purchaser’s obligation to effect the Closing (as set forth in Section 10.8) is not satisfied by the Closing Date, subject to Section 10.9, then Purchaser shall be entitled to terminate this Agreement, or extend the Closing Date once for up to five (5) Business Days to allow Seller to satisfy such condition precedent (in which case, Seller shall in good faith expeditiously try to cure such condition precedent during such five (5) Business Day extension), by notice thereof to Seller and the Title Company. If either party elects to extend the Closing Date for five (5) Business Days pursuant to this Section 10.11 and the condition precedent for which the Closing Date is extended is not satisfied or waived during such period, then such party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by notice thereof to the other party and the Title Company. If this Agreement is so terminated, then Purchaser shall be entitled to receive the Earnest Money Deposit and no party shall have any further obligations hereunder, except for Termination Surviving Obligations, provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, if the applicable conditions precedent are not satisfied due to a default by Seller or Purchaser hereunder, then Article XIII shall govern and this Section 10.11 shall not apply.
ARTICLE X    
BROKERAGE
Section 10.1    Brokers. Seller agrees to pay to Eastdil Secured (“Broker”) a real estate commission at Closing (but only in the event of Closing in strict compliance with this Agreement) pursuant to a separate agreement. Purchaser and Seller will indemnify, defend and hold the other party harmless from any brokerage or finder’s fee or commission claimed by any person asserting its entitlement thereto at the alleged instigation of the indemnifying party for or on account of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.
ARTICLE XI    
SUBSEQUENT SALE TRANSACTION
Section 11.1    Subsequent Sale Transaction. Seller acknowledges that if Purchaser at any time following the Closing sells the Property to a third party (a “Subsequent Purchaser”) pursuant to a separate purchase and sale agreement (a “Subsequent Sale Transaction”), any such sale shall not be subject to Seller’s consent or other rights under Article 18 of the Lease or Section 15.1 of this Agreement. The terms of this Section 12.1 shall survive the Closing.

42



ARTICLE XII    
REMEDIES
Section 12.1    Default by Seller. If Closing of the purchase and sale transaction provided for herein does not occur as herein provided by reason of any default of Seller, Purchaser may, as Purchaser’s sole and exclusive remedies under this Agreement, (a) elect by written notice to Seller and the Title Company to extend the Closing for up to five (5) Business Days to allow Seller to cure such default; and (b) either (i) elect by written notice to Seller within ten (10) Business Days following the scheduled or extended Closing Date to terminate this Agreement, in which event Purchaser will receive from the Title Company the Earnest Money Deposit and Seller shall reimburse Purchaser up to a maximum of $100,000 for Seller’s actual third party costs in connection with the transaction contemplated by this Agreement, whereupon Seller and Purchaser will have no further rights or obligations under this Agreement, except with respect to the Termination Surviving Obligations, or (ii) elect to pursue specific performance of this Agreement so long as such action by Purchaser against Seller shall be filed and served within thirty (30) days after the scheduled Closing Date. In any event, Purchaser hereby waives all other remedies under this Agreement, including without limitation, any claim against Seller for damages of any type or kind, including without limitation, consequential or punitive damages. Unless otherwise expressly required pursuant to this Agreement, in no event shall Seller be obligated to undertake any of the following under this Agreement (i) change the condition of the Property or restore the same after any fire or casualty; (ii) expend money or post a bond to remove or insure over anything other than a Must-Cure Matter or to correct any matter shown on a survey of the Property; (iii) secure any permit, approval, or consent with respect to the Property or Seller’s conveyance thereof; or (iv) expend any money to repair, improve or alter the Improvements or any portion thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section 13.1 will limit Purchaser’s remedies at law, in equity or as herein provided in the event of a breach by Seller of any of the Closing Surviving Obligations after Closing or the Termination Surviving Obligations after termination, subject to the terms and provisions of this Agreement.
Section 12.2    DEFAULT BY PURCHASER. IN THE EVENT THE CLOSING AND THE CONSUMMATION OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREIN DO NOT OCCUR AS PROVIDED HEREIN (TIME BEING OF THE ESSENCE) BY REASON OF ANY DEFAULT OF PURCHASER, PURCHASER AND SELLER AGREE IT WOULD BE IMPRACTICAL AND EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO FIX THE DAMAGES WHICH SELLER MAY SUFFER. PURCHASER AND SELLER HEREBY AGREE THAT (i) AN AMOUNT EQUAL TO THE EARNEST MONEY DEPOSIT, TOGETHER WITH ALL INTEREST ACCRUED THEREON, IS A REASONABLE ESTIMATE OF THE TOTAL NET DETRIMENT SELLER WOULD SUFFER IN THE EVENT PURCHASER DEFAULTS AND FAILS TO COMPLETE THE PURCHASE OF THE PROPERTY, AND (ii) THE TITLE COMPANY SHALL PAY THE EARNEST MONEY DEPOSIT, TOGETHER WITH ALL INTEREST ACCRUED THEREON, TO SELLER AND WILL BE THE FULL, AGREED AND LIQUIDATED DAMAGES FOR PURCHASER’S DEFAULT AND FAILURE TO COMPLETE THE PURCHASE OF THE PROPERTY, AND WILL BE SELLER’S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY (WHETHER AT LAW OR IN EQUITY) FOR ANY DEFAULT OF PURCHASER RESULTING IN THE FAILURE OF CONSUMMATION OF THE CLOSING, WHEREUPON THIS AGREEMENT WILL

43



TERMINATE AND SELLER AND PURCHASER WILL HAVE NO FURTHER RIGHTS OR OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER, EXCEPT WITH RESPECT TO THE TERMINATION SURVIVING OBLIGATIONS. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, NOTHING CONTAINED IN THIS SECTION 13.2 HEREIN WILL LIMIT SELLER’S REMEDIES AT LAW, IN EQUITY OR AS HEREIN PROVIDED IN THE EVENT OF A BREACH BY PURCHASER OF ANY OF THE CLOSING SURVIVING OBLIGATIONS AFTER CLOSING OR THE TERMINATION SURVIVING OBLIGATIONS AFTER TERMINATION. IN ADDITION, PRIOR TO TERMINATING THIS AGREEMENT, SELLER SHALL HAVE THE RIGHT TO ELECT BY WRITTEN NOTICE TO PURCHASER AND THE TITLE COMPANY TO EXTEND THE CLOSING FOR UP TO FIVE (5) BUSINESS DAYS TO ALLOW PURCHASER TO CURE SUCH DEFAULT.
THE PARTIES ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE PAYMENT OF SUCH LIQUIDATED DAMAGES IS NOT INTENDED AS A FORFEITURE OR PENALTY WITHIN THE MEANING OF CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE SECTION 3275 OR 3369, BUT IS INTENDED TO CONSTITUTE LIQUIDATED DAMAGES TO SELLER PURSUANT TO CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE SECTIONS 1671, 1676, AND 1677. THE PARTIES HAVE SET FORTH THEIR INITIALS BELOW TO INDICATE THEIR AGREEMENT WITH THE LIQUIDATED DAMAGES PROVISION CONTAINED IN THIS SECTION.
SELLER’S INITIALS: _______         PURCHASER’S INITIALS: _______
Section 12.3    Consequential and Punitive Damages. Seller and Purchaser each waive any right to sue the other for any consequential or punitive damages for matters arising under this Agreement (it being understood that Seller and Purchaser each have waived the right to obtain incidental, special, exemplary or consequential damages in connection with any default of Purchaser or Seller respectively, or otherwise, which, in the case of the waiver by Purchaser, include, without limitation, loss of profits or inability to secure lenders, investors or buyers). Damages arising under the Lease shall be governed by the provisions of that document, and not by the provisions of this Section 13.3.
ARTICLE XIII    
NOTICES
Section 13.1    Notices. Subject to the provisions of Section 5.4 with regard to the delivery of any Termination Notice, all notices or other communications required or permitted hereunder will be in writing, and will be given by (a) personal delivery, or (b) professional expedited delivery service with proof of delivery, or (c) electronic mail (received upon the sender’s receipt of an acknowledgement from the intended recipient (such as by the “return receipt requested” function, as available, return e-mail or other written acknowledgement), sent to the intended addressee at the address set forth below, or to such other address or to the attention of such other person as the addressee will have designated by written notice sent in accordance herewith and will be deemed to have been given either at the time of personal delivery, or, in the case of expedited delivery service, as of the date of first attempted delivery on a Business Day at the address or in the manner provided herein, or, in the case of electronic mail transmission, upon receipt if on a Business Day

ARTICLE XIV    
ASSIGNMENT AND BINDING EFFECT

45



Section 14.1    Assignment; Binding Effect. Purchaser will not have the right to assign this Agreement, or any ownership interests in Purchaser, without Seller’s prior written consent in Seller’s sole and absolute discretion; provided, however, that Purchaser may assign its rights under this Agreement to a wholly-owned subsidiary of Tenant controlled solely by Tenant, without the consent of Seller. No assignment shall relieve Purchaser of its obligations hereunder. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Seller and Purchaser and their respective successors and permitted assigns, and no other party will be conferred any rights by virtue of this Agreement or be entitled to enforce any of the provisions hereof. Whenever a reference is made in this Agreement to Seller or Purchaser, such reference will include the successors and permitted assigns of such party under this Agreement.
Section 14.2    1031 Exchange.

Section 16.1    Waivers; Amendments. No waiver of any breach of any covenant or provisions contained herein will be deemed a waiver of any preceding or succeeding breach thereof, or of any other covenant or provision contained herein.

This Agreement may not be amended except in a writing signed by both Seller and Purchaser.
Section 16.2    Recovery of Certain Fees. In the event a party hereto files any action or suit against another party hereto by reason of any breach of any of the covenants, agreements or provisions contained in this Agreement, then in that event the prevailing party will be entitled to have and recover of and from the other party all attorneys’ fees and costs resulting therefrom, subject, however, in the case of Seller, to the limitations set forth in Section 16.1 above.

Section 16.6    Severability.

Without limiting the foregoing, if the limitation on the time period for bringing claims being limited to the Survival Period is held by a court to be unenforceable, Purchaser and Seller hereby agree that the applicable limitations period for bringing claims under this Agreement shall be reduced to the shortest period permitted under applicable law. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal, or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto will negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to reflect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner to the end that the transactions contemplated hereby are fulfilled to the extent possible.
