12
warranties contained in Section 8.1 of this Agreement (as limited by Section 16.1 of this Agreement) the Closing Documents and its own expertise and that of Purchaser’s consultants in purchasing the Property. Prior to the Closing, Purchaser shall have conducted 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 hereof, as limited by Section 16.1 of this Agreement, and the Closing Documents) or any of its Affiliates, or any of their respective partners, members, owners, officers, directors, employees, agents, representatives or attorneys. Purchaser acknowledges that all information obtained by Purchaser was obtained from a variety of sources and 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 except as expressly stated in Section 8.1 of this Agreement (as limited by Section 16.1 of this Agreement) or in the Closing Documents.

Purchaser, with Purchaser’s counsel, has fully reviewed the disclaimers and waivers set forth in this Agreement, and understands the significance and effect 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 disclaimer and other agreements set forth in this Agreement. The terms and conditions of this Section 5.3 will expressly survive the Closing without limitation and will not merge with the provisions of any Closing Documents.

Subject to the terms of Sections 5.4(b) and (c) below, Purchaser, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, and their respective partners, members, owners, officers, directors, agents, representatives and controlling persons, hereby releases Seller and Seller’s Affiliates, and their respective partners, members, owners, officers, directors, agents, representatives and controlling persons (collectively, the “Seller Released Parties”) from any and all liability, responsibility, claims, damages, losses and expenses arising
13
out of or related to the condition (including the presence in the soil, air, structures and surface and subsurface waters, of Hazardous Substances that have been or may in the future be determined to be toxic, hazardous, undesirable or subject to regulation and that may need to be specially treated, handled and/or removed from the Property under current or future federal, state and local laws, regulations or guidelines), valuation, salability or utility of the Property, or its suitability for any purpose whatsoever, except to the extent that such responsibility or liability is the result of the material inaccuracy (if any) of Seller’s representation under Section 8.1 hereof (as limited by Section 16.1 of this Agreement). Without limiting the foregoing, but subject to Sections 5.4(b) and (c) below, Purchaser, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, and their respective partners, members, owners, officers, directors, agents, representatives and controlling persons, specifically releases the Seller Released Parties from any and all responsibility, claims, damages, losses and expenses Purchaser may have against any of the Seller Released Parties now or in the future arising from the environmental condition of the Property or the presence of Hazardous Substances or contamination on or emanating from the Property. The foregoing waivers and releases by Purchaser shall survive, without limitation, either (i) the Closing and shall not be deemed merged into the provisions of any Closing Documents or (ii) any termination of this Agreement.
(b) Limitation on Release and Waiver. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 5.3 above or this Section 5.4, the releases and waivers and other matters set forth herein shall not, however, relieve Seller of its liability for: (i) any breach of any express representation or warranty of Seller contained in Section 8.1 of this Agreement (subject to the limitations of Section 16.1 of this Agreement) or in any of the Closing Documents; or (ii) any breach by Seller of its covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement which are Closing Surviving Obligations.
(c) No Limitation.

(d) Survival. The provisions of this Section 5.4 shall survive the Closing and shall not be deemed merged into the Closing Documents.
ARTICLE VI
TITLE AND SURVEY MATTERS
TITLE AND SURVEY MATTERS
Section 6.1 Survey. Prior to the execution and delivery of this Agreement, Seller has delivered to Purchaser a copy of that certain survey of the Real Property, dated November 2, 2005, prepared by James, Schaeffer & Schimming (the “Existing Survey”). Seller shall have no obligation to obtain any modification, update or recertification of the Existing Survey.
Section 6.2 Title Commitment.
(a) Prior to the execution and delivery hereof, Purchaser has caused the Title Company to furnish to Purchaser a preliminary title report or title commitment dated March 7, 2006 (the “Commitment”), by the terms of which the Title Company agrees to issue
14
to Purchaser at Closing an owner’s policy of title insurance (the “Title Policy”) in the amount of the Purchase Price on the ALTA Owner Policy of Title Insurance with extended coverage, Standard Form Rev. 10/17/92 (as amended to date), insuring Purchaser’s fee simple title to the Real Property to be good and indefeasible, subject to the terms of such policy and the exceptions described therein. The Commitment (including all endorsements) is attached to this Agreement as Exhibit L. As a condition to Purchaser’s obligation to close, the Title Company shall deliver the Title Policy to Purchaser at Closing effective as of the date and time of the recording of the Deed, in the amount of the Purchase Price insuring Purchaser as owner of fee simple title to the Real Property, and subject only to the Permitted Exceptions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Title Policy may be delivered after Closing if at the Closing the Title Company issues a currently effective, duly executed “marked up” Commitment and irrevocably commits in writing to issue the Title Policy in the form of the “marked up” Commitment promptly after the Closing Date.
(b) Purchaser may, at or prior to Closing, notify Seller in writing (the “Gap Notice”) of any objections to title (i) raised by the Title Company between the Effective Date and the Closing, and (ii) not disclosed by the Title Company or otherwise known to Purchaser prior to the Effective Date provided the Purchaser must deliver a notice of objections to Seller on or before the date that is five (5) days following Purchaser’s receipt of such supplement or update and Purchaser shall have the right to extend the Closing Date to the extent such receipt is within five (5) days of the original Closing Date. If Purchaser fails to deliver to Seller a notice of objections on or before such date, Purchaser will be deemed to have waived any objection to the new exceptions, and the new exceptions will be included as Permitted Exceptions subject to the provisions of Section 6.2(d). Seller will have not less than ten (10) days from the receipt of Purchaser’s notice (and, if necessary, Seller may extend the Closing Date to provide for such ten (10) day period and for five (5) days following such period for Purchaser’s response), within which time Seller may, but is under no obligation to remove the objectionable new exceptions except as provided for in Section 6.2(d) below. If, within the ten (10) day period, Seller does not remove the objectionable new exceptions, then Purchaser may terminate this Agreement upon notice to Seller no later than five (5) days following expiration of the ten (10) day cure period. If Purchaser terminates this Agreement, the Earnest Money Deposit will be promptly returned to Purchaser, and the parties shall be released from all further obligations under this Agreement. If Purchaser fails to terminate this Agreement in the manner set forth above, the new exceptions (except those Seller has removed or is obligated by Section 6.2(d) below to remove) will be included as Permitted Exceptions.
(c) The term “Permitted Exceptions” means:
(i) those matters noted in Schedule B to the Commitment, Items 1 (only with respect to taxes which are not yet due and payable), 5-13, and 15-17; and
(ii) those matters noted in any supplement or update to the Commitment that either are not timely objected to in writing in the Gap Notice, or if timely objected to in writing by Purchaser, are those which Seller has elected (or is deemed to have elected) not to remove or cure or has been unable to remove or cure prior to the expiration of the Cure Period, and subject to which Purchaser has elected or is deemed to have elected to accept the conveyance of the Property (excluding those items in Section 6.2(d) which Seller is obligated to cure).
15
(d) Notwithstanding any provision of this Section 6.2 to the contrary, Seller will be obligated to cure exceptions to title to the Real Property and Improvements relating to (i) liens and security interests securing any loan to Seller, (ii) any other liens or security interests created by documents executed by Seller to secure monetary obligations, other than liens for ad valorem taxes and assessments for the current calendar year, and (iii) any matters resulting from Seller’s breach of Section 7.1(h) below.

INTERIM OPERATING COVENANTS AND ESTOPPELS
INTERIM OPERATING COVENANTS AND ESTOPPELS
Section 7.1 Interim Operating Covenants. Seller covenants to Purchaser that Seller will:
(a) Operations. From the Effective Date until Closing, continue to operate, manage and maintain the Improvements in the ordinary course of Seller’s business and substantially in accordance with Seller’s present practice, subject to ordinary wear and tear and further subject to Article IX of this Agreement.
(b) Maintain Insurance. From the Effective Date until Closing, maintain fire and extended coverage insurance on the Improvements which is at least equivalent in all material respects to Seller’s insurance policies covering the Improvements as of the Effective Date (unless otherwise approved by Purchaser, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld); provided, however, with respect to terrorism insurance only, Seller shall be obligated to maintain such terrorism insurance on the Improvements equivalent to the coverage in effect on the Effective Date only to the extent such coverage is available on commercially reasonable terms.
(c) Personal Property. From the Effective Date until Closing, not transfer or remove any Personal Property from the Improvements except for the purpose of repair or replacement thereof. Any items of Personal Property replaced after the Effective Date will be installed prior to Closing and will be of substantially similar quality of the item of Personal Property being replaced.
(d) Comply with Governmental Regulations. From the Effective Date until Closing, not knowingly take any action that Seller knows would result in a failure to comply in all material respects with all Governmental Regulations applicable to the Property, it being understood and agreed that prior to Closing, Seller will have the right to contest any such Governmental Regulations.
(e) Tenant Leases. From the Effective Date until Closing, not enter into any new lease or any amendments, expansions or renewals of Tenant Leases without the prior written consent of Purchaser, which consent will be deemed given unless written objection thereto is given within two (2) Business Days after receipt of the relevant information. Furthermore, nothing herein shall be deemed to require Purchaser’s consent to any expansion or renewal which Seller, as landlord, is required to honor pursuant to any Tenant Lease.
16
(f) Service Contracts. From the Effective Date until Closing, not enter into any service contract or any amendments to any existing service contracts unless Purchaser consents thereto in writing.
(g) Notices. To the extent received by Seller, from the Effective Date until Closing, promptly deliver to Purchaser copies of written default notices, notices of lawsuits and notices of violations affecting the Property.
(h) Encumbrances. From the Effective Date until Closing, Seller shall not voluntarily transfer, assign or otherwise encumber the Property or any interest therein or modify any of the Permitted Exceptions.
Section 7.2 Estoppels.
(a) It will be a condition to Purchaser’s obligation to close that Purchaser obtain from the Major Tenants and other Tenants leasing space which when added to the Major Tenants aggregates at least 80% of the aggregate square footage of the Improvements, executed estoppel certificates, with no material modifications from the estoppel certificate form attached hereto as Exhibit D-2; provided, however, (i) to the extent any Tenant Lease has a form estoppel attached, Purchaser will exercise commercially reasonable efforts to obtain an estoppel certificate for such Tenant in the form completed as provided below, or in a form as close thereto as reasonably possible, but in any event an estoppel certificate executed by a Tenant with the issues addressed in the form attached to its Tenant Lease in a manner consistent with such Tenant Lease shall satisfy the requirement of this Section 7.2(a), (ii) Purchaser will not unreasonably withhold approval of any estoppel certificate as modified by a Tenant and delivered to Purchaser, provided that the information included in such estoppel is not inconsistent with the Tenant Lease or the information included in the estoppel form completed for such Tenant pursuant to the below provisions of this Section 7.2(a) or such estoppel does not reveal any matters adverse to the Property or the landlord, and (iii) Purchaser shall not object to the deletion of any language which is italicized in Exhibit D-2 and/or the addition of any language which is double-bracketed and bolded in Exhibit D-2. In addition, simultaneously herewith Seller has delivered to Purchaser copies of estoppel certificates executed by Tenants within the four (4) months immediately prior to the Effective Date. If a Tenant executes an estoppel certificate in the form of its previously-executed estoppel, then, provided that the information included in such estoppel is updated through the date of the new estoppel and does not reveal any new matters adverse to the Property or the landlord, Purchaser shall not object to such estoppel. Within thirty (30) Business Days after the Effective Date, Seller will deliver to Purchaser completed forms of estoppel certificates, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D-2 and containing the information contemplated thereby, for all Tenants. Within ten (10) Business Days following Purchaser’s receipt thereof, Purchaser will send to Seller notice either (i) approving such forms as completed by Seller or (ii) setting forth in detail all changes to such forms which Purchaser believes to be appropriate to make the completed forms of estoppel certificates accurate and complete. Seller will make such changes to the extent Seller agrees such changes are appropriate, except that Seller will not be obligated to make any changes which request more expansive information than is contemplated by Exhibit D-2. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, in no event shall Purchaser’s failure to obtain the required number of acceptable estoppel certificates in accordance with the provisions of this
17
Section 7.2(a) constitute a default by Purchaser under this Agreement unless Purchaser elects to not close as the result of such failure and Purchaser did not exercise commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such estoppels; however, (i) commercially reasonable efforts shall require only that Purchaser provide the completed estoppels to the Tenants timely and contact Tenants periodically to facilitate the process, and (ii) in no event shall commercially reasonable efforts require Purchaser to approve an estoppel which does not satisfy the requirements in this Section 7.2 or require that Purchaser pay money or other consideration or agree to any amendments to any Tenant Leases.
(b) It will be a condition to Purchaser’s obligation to close that Purchaser obtain (i) an estoppel in the form attached hereto as Exhibit M-1 executed by the owner of the Westin Hotel, and (ii) an estoppel in the form attached hereto as Exhibit M-2 executed by the owner of the Westin Hotel (collectively, the “Westin Estoppels”); provided, however, Purchaser shall not object to the deletion of any language which is italicized in Exhibit M-1 or Exhibit M-2 and/or the addition of any language which is double-bracketed and bolded in Exhibit M-1 or Exhibit M-2. In no event shall Purchaser’s failure to obtain the Westin Estoppels constitute a default by Purchaser under this Agreement unless Purchaser elects to not close as the result of such failure and Purchaser did not exercise commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such estoppels; however, (i) commercially reasonable efforts shall require only that Purchaser provide the estoppels to the owner of the Westin Hotel and to periodically contact such owner to facilitate the process, and (ii) in no event shall commercially reasonable efforts require Purchaser to accept an estoppel which indicates that Seller is in default or that is otherwise adverse to the Property or to the owner of the Property or require that Purchaser pay any money or other consideration or agree to any amendments to the easement.
(c) Purchaser shall have the right to attempt to obtain an estoppel executed by the owner of the Phase II land; however, obtaining such estoppel shall not be a condition to Closing and the failure to obtain such estoppel shall not constitute a default by Purchaser under this Agreement.
Section 7.3 Appraisals. Purchaser shall exercise diligent efforts to obtain, prior to April 12, 2006, two (2) appraisals of the Property (“Appraisals"). It shall be a condition to Closing that Purchaser obtain the Appraisals and that both Appraisals provide that the fair market value of the Property is equal to or greater than the Purchase Price. If the Appraisals are not obtained by April 12, 2006 or both Appraisals do not value the Property at an amount which is greater than or equal to the Purchase Price, then Purchaser shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by delivering to Seller notice and, if applicable, a copy of the Appraisal(s) which does not value the Property at the requisite amount on or prior to April 17, 2006, and the Earnest Money Deposit shall be returned to Purchaser. In no event shall Purchaser’s failure to obtain Appraisals indicating the fair market value of the Property as equal to or in excess of the Purchase Price constitute a default by Purchaser under this Agreement unless Purchaser elects not to close as the result of such failure and Purchaser did not exercise diligent efforts to obtain such Appraisals.
Section 7.4 Cooperation with Purchaser’s Auditors and SEC Filing Requirements. Seller shall provide to Purchaser (at Purchaser’s expense) copies of, or shall provide Purchaser access to, such factual information as may be reasonably requested by
18
Purchaser, and in the possession or control of Seller, or its property manager or accountants, to enable Purchaser’s auditor (Deloitte & Touche LLP or any successor auditor selected by Purchaser) to conduct an audit of the income statements of the Property for the year to date of the year in which the Closing occurs plus up to the three prior calendar years. Purchaser shall be responsible for all out-of-pocket costs associated with this audit. Seller shall cooperate (at no cost to Seller) with Purchaser’s auditor in the conduct of such audit. In addition, Seller agrees to provide, if requested by such auditor, historical financial statements for the Property, including income and balance sheet data for the Property, whether required before or after Closing. Without limiting the foregoing, (i) Purchaser or its designated independent or other auditor may audit Seller’s operating statements of the Property, at Purchaser’s expense, and Seller shall provide such documentation as Purchaser or its auditor may reasonably request in order to complete such audit, and (ii) Seller shall furnish to Purchaser such financial and other information as may be reasonably required by Purchaser or any Affiliate of Purchaser to make any required filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission or other governmental authority; provided, however, that the foregoing obligations of Seller shall be limited to providing such information or documentation as may be in the possession of, or reasonably obtainable by, Seller, its property manager or accountants, at no material cost to Seller, and in the format that Seller (or its property manager or accountants) have maintained such information. The provisions set forth in this Section 7.4 shall survive Closing.

If, prior to the Closing Date, all or a Significant Portion of the Real Property and Improvements is destroyed or damaged by fire or other casualty, Seller will notify Purchaser of such casualty. Purchaser will have the option to terminate this Agreement upon notice to Seller given not later than the earlier to occur of (x) the Closing Date or (y) ten (10) days after receipt of Seller’s notice. If this Agreement is terminated,
21
the Earnest Money Deposit will be returned to Purchaser upon Purchaser’s compliance with Section 4.5 and thereafter neither Seller nor Purchaser will have any further rights or obligations to the other hereunder except with respect to the Termination Surviving Obligations. If Purchaser does not elect to terminate this Agreement, Seller will not be obligated to repair such damage or destruction but (a) Seller will assign and turn over to Purchaser all of the insurance proceeds paid to Seller (or, if such proceeds have not been awarded, any and all of Seller’s right, title and interest therein), net of reasonable collection costs and costs incurred by Seller to restore the Property, with respect to such fire or other casualty, and (b) the parties will proceed to Closing pursuant to the terms hereof without abatement of the Purchase Price, except that Purchaser will receive a credit for the lesser of (i) any insurance deductible amount or (ii) the cost of such repairs (other than repairs which are the responsibility of Tenants under Tenant Leases) as reasonably estimated by Seller and Purchaser.
Section 9.2 Casualty of Less Than a Significant Portion. If less than a Significant Portion of the Real Property and/or Improvements is damaged as aforesaid, Purchaser shall not have the right to terminate this Agreement and Seller will not be obligated to repair such damage or destruction but (a) Seller will assign and turn over to Purchaser all of the insurance proceeds paid to Seller (or, if such proceeds have not been awarded, any and all of its right, title and interest therein), net of reasonable collection costs and costs incurred by Seller to restore the Property, with respect to such fire or other casualty, and (b) the parties will proceed to Closing pursuant to the terms hereof without abatement of the Purchase Price, except that, Purchaser will receive a credit for the lesser of (i) any insurance deductible amount or (ii) the cost of such repairs (other than repairs which are the responsibility of Tenants under Tenant Leases) as reasonably estimated by Seller and Purchaser.
Section 9.3 Condemnation of Property. In the event of condemnation or sale in lieu of condemnation of all or any portion of the Real Property and/or Improvements prior to the Closing, Purchaser will have the option, by providing Seller written notice prior to the earlier of (x) the Closing Date or (y) ten (10) days after receipt of Seller’s notice of such condemnation or sale, of terminating Purchaser’s obligations under this Agreement or electing to have this Agreement remain in full force and effect. In the event Purchaser does not terminate this Agreement pursuant to the preceding sentence, Seller will assign to Purchaser any and all claims for the proceeds of such condemnation or sale to the extent the same are applicable to the Real Property and/or Improvements, net of reasonable collection costs and costs incurred by Seller to restore the Property, and Purchaser will take title to the Property with the assignment of such proceeds and subject to such condemnation and without reduction of the Purchase Price. Should Purchaser elect to terminate Purchaser’s obligations under this Agreement under the provisions of this Section 9.3, the Earnest Money Deposit will be returned to Purchaser upon Purchaser’s compliance with Section 4.5, and neither Seller nor Purchaser will have any further obligation under this Agreement except for the Termination Surviving Obligations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if any eminent domain or condemnation proceeding is instituted (or notice of same is given) solely for the taking of any subsurface rights for utility easements or for any right-of-way easement, and the surface may, after such taking, be used in substantially the same manner as though such rights have not been taken, Purchaser will not be entitled to terminate this Agreement as to any part of the Property, but any award resulting therefrom will be assigned to Purchaser at Closing and will be the exclusive property of Purchaser upon Closing.

Section 10.4 Prorations.
(a) Seller and Purchaser agree to adjust, as of 11:59 p.m. on the day immediately preceding the Closing Date (the “Closing Time”), the following (collectively, the “Proration Items”): real estate and personal property taxes and assessments which are required to be paid during the calendar year in which the Closing occurs (on a cash basis so that such proration pursuant to this Section 10.4(a) shall be with respect to the taxes payable in the year in which the Closing occurs and not the taxes which are attributable to such year but payable the following year), utility bills (except as hereinafter provided), collected Rentals (subject to the terms of (c) below), and operating expenses payable by the owner of the Property. Seller will be charged and credited for the amounts of all of the Proration Items relating to the period up to and including the Closing Time, and Purchaser will be charged and credited for all of the Proration Items relating to the period after the Closing Time. Such preliminary estimated Closing prorations shall be set forth on a preliminary closing statement to be prepared by Seller and submitted to Purchaser for Purchaser’s approval (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) prior to the Closing Date (the “Closing Statement”). The Closing Statement, once agreed upon, shall be signed by Purchaser and Seller and delivered to the Title Company for purposes of making the preliminary proration adjustment at Closing subject to the final cash settlement provided for below. The preliminary proration shall be paid at Closing by Purchaser to Seller (if the preliminary prorations result in a net credit to Seller) or by Seller to Purchaser (if the preliminary prorations result in a net credit to Purchaser) by increasing or reducing the cash to be delivered by Purchaser in payment of the Purchase Price at the Closing. 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, or if errors in prorations are discovered, 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 Expenses). 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 Expenses). 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 within fifteen (15) days after the first anniversary of the Closing Date.
(b) Purchaser will receive a credit on the Closing Statement for the prorated amount (as of the Closing Time) of all Rentals previously paid to and collected by Seller and attributable to any period following the Closing Time. After the Closing, Seller will cause to be paid or turned over to Purchaser all Rentals, if any, received by Seller after Closing for distribution pursuant to this Section. “Rentals” as used herein includes fixed monthly rentals, additional rentals, percentage rentals, escalation rentals (which include each Tenant’s proportionate share of building operation and maintenance costs and expenses as provided for under the applicable Tenant Lease, to the extent the same exceeds any expense stop specified in such Tenant Lease), retroactive rentals, all administrative charges, utility charges, tenant or real property association dues, storage rentals, special event proceeds, temporary rents, telephone receipts, locker rentals, vending machine receipts and other sums and charges payable to Seller or its successor by Tenants under the Tenant Leases or from other occupants or users of the
25
Property, but excluding amounts received for Operating Expenses), which are governed by Section 10.4(c) below and excluding specific tenant billings which are governed by Section 10.4(d) below. 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. Purchaser agrees to use good faith collection procedures with respect to the collection of any Delinquent Rentals, but Purchaser will have no liability for the failure to collect any such amounts and will not be required to conduct lock-outs or take any other legal action to enforce collection of any such amounts owed to Seller by Tenants of the Property and, except as set forth in this Section 10.4(b), Seller shall have no right to take any action with respect to collection of Delinquent Rentals from any Tenant while such Tenant remains in occupancy of the Property. In the event Purchaser has not collected any Delinquent Rental within ninety (90) days after the Closing, Seller shall be entitled to send notices to defaulting tenants demanding payment, but Seller shall not be entitled to initiate litigation, threaten litigation, terminate leases, evict tenants or threat termination of leases or eviction of tenants. All sums collected by Purchaser or Seller, as applicable, from and after Closing from each Tenant (excluding Tenant payments for Operating Expenses attributable to the period prior to the Closing Time governed by Section 10.4(c) below and tenant specific billings for tenant work orders and other specific services as described in and governed by Section 10.4(d) below) will be applied first to current amounts owed by such Tenant to Purchaser and then to prior delinquencies owed by such Tenant to Seller. Any sums collected by Purchaser or Seller and due the other party will be promptly remitted to such party.
(c) Seller will prepare a reconciliation as of the Closing Time of the amounts of all billings and charges for operating expenses and taxes specified in each Tenant Lease (collectively, “Operating Expenses”). If more amounts have been incurred for Operating Expenses than have been collected from Tenants for Operating Expenses, Purchaser, upon completion of 2006 year end operating expenses and tax reconciliation in 2007, shall use reasonable efforts to collect from tenants of the Property any underpayments and shall pay to Seller Seller’s share of said underpayment promptly upon collection thereof. If more amounts have been collected from Tenants for Operating Expenses than have been incurred for Operating Expenses, Seller will pay to Purchaser at Closing as a credit against the Purchase Price such excess collected amount. Purchaser and Seller agree that within sixty (60) days after Closing Purchaser and Seller shall finalize the prorations to make adjustments necessary to the extent estimates used in the calculation of such reconciliation at Closing differ from actual bills received for those items covered by such reconciliation; provided, however, notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller’s and Purchaser’s right and obligation to finalize prorations with respect to ad valorem real estate taxes for the 2006 tax year shall be settled thirty (30) days after receipt of the second tax bill for taxes attributable to calendar year 2006. In this regard, Purchaser will be solely responsible, from and after Closing, for (i) collecting from Tenants the amount of any outstanding Operating Expenses for periods before and after Closing, and (ii) where appropriate, reimbursing Tenants for amounts attributable to Operating Expenses, as may be necessary based on annual reconciliations for Operating Expenses.
(d) With respect to specific tenant billings for work orders, special items performed or provided at the request of a given Tenant or other specific services, which are collected by Purchaser or Seller after the Closing Time but relate to any such specific services rendered by Seller or its property manager prior to the Closing Time and which are identified on
26
the Tenant’s payment as relating to such specific services or which are clearly identifiable as being payment for any such specific services, 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) Notwithstanding any provision of this Section 10.4 to the contrary, Purchaser will be solely responsible for (i) all Leasing Costs which accrue on or after the Closing Date, (ii) subject to any approval rights which Purchaser has, Leasing Costs (“New Tenant Costs”) incurred or to be incurred in connection with any new Tenant Leases executed after the Effective Date, and (iii) all Leasing Costs described on Exhibit H which are not paid by Seller prior to Closing (collectively, “Purchaser Leasing Costs Obligations”). Purchaser acknowledges that Seller’s Leasing Cost Obligations specifically exclude, and Purchaser’s Leasing Costs Obligations include, Leasing Costs payable with respect to any renewal, expansion or other right which is exercised by Tenants after the Closing Date and refurbishment and other allowances payable under Tenant Leases after the Closing Date. The provisions of this Section 10.4(e) shall fully survive the Closing without limitation.
(f) Seller will be solely responsible for all Leasing Costs to the extent unpaid as of the Closing Date which accrued during the period of time Seller owned the Property under Tenant Leases entered into prior to the Closing Date excluding (i) Leasing Costs described on Exhibit H which Seller does not pay prior to Closing, and (ii) New Tenant Costs (“Seller Leasing Costs Obligations”). The provisions of this Section 10.4(f) shall be governed by the provisions of Section 16.1(a).
(g) Seller has heretofore filed applications for the reduction of the assessed valuation of the Real Property and the Improvements and/or instituted certiorari proceedings to review such assessed valuations for the tax years 2001(payable in 2002), 2002 (payable in 2003) and 2004 (payable in 2005). Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that Seller (i) shall have the right to institute proceedings or file applications for the reduction of the assessed valuation of the Real Property and the Improvements for the tax year 2005 (payable in 2006) and all prior tax years, and (ii) shall have the right to withdraw, compromise or settle the tax proceedings for all such tax years, provided that notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Seller shall not make or file a petition or appeal, agree to a settlement of any such appeal or action, or otherwise pursue or continue to pursue any course of action which would have an adverse effect on the taxes for the Property for subsequent years without the prior written consent of Purchaser. Seller acknowledges and agrees that Purchaser (y) shall have the right to institute proceedings or file applications for the reduction of the assessed valuation of the Real Property and the Improvements for the tax year 2006 (payable in 2007) and (z) shall have the right to withdraw, compromise or settle the tax proceedings for the 2006 tax year. Any refund or the savings or refund for any year or years prior to the 2006 tax year shall belong solely to Seller after deduction of any refunds owed to any Tenant pursuant to the Tenant Leases. Any tax savings or refund for the 2006 tax year shall be prorated between Seller and Purchaser as set forth in Section 10.4(c). Any amounts required to be reimbursed to the Tenants from such refund proceeds shall be paid directly to such Tenants by the person who obtains the proceeds. Seller and Purchaser shall cooperate with each other in good faith in connection with any tax proceedings including, without limitation, executing all documents and instruments as may reasonably be requested in connection therewith. Purchaser hereby indemnifies, defends and
27
holds Seller harmless from any claims by a Tenant for a portion of a tax refund with respect to any tax proceedings to the extent Purchaser received such tax refund owed to such Tenant and failed to refund it to such Tenant. Seller hereby indemnifies, defends and holds Purchaser harmless from any claims by a Tenant for a portion of a tax refund with respect to any tax proceedings to the extent Seller received such tax refund owed to such Tenant and failed to refund it to such Tenant. The provisions of this Section 10.4(g) shall fully survive the Closing without limitation.
(h) With respect to the Operating Expenses for calendar year 2005, Seller shall prepare the 2005 reconciliation statements required by the Tenant Leases, and such statements shall be sent to Tenants by Seller. Seller agrees that Seller is solely responsible to Tenants for any Operating Expenses reconciliations for calendar year 2005, and Seller shall promptly make any such payments to Tenants in accordance with the Tenant Leases. However, if it is determined that Tenants owe Seller outstanding Operating Expenses for calendar year 2005, Purchaser shall promptly pay to Seller any amounts collected from Tenants as relating to such reconciliation statements. Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable collection procedures with respect to the collection of any such amounts, but Purchaser will not have liability to Seller for the failure to collect any such amounts and will not be required to conduct lock-outs or take any other legal action to enforce collection of any such amounts owed to Seller by Tenants of the Property and, except as set forth in this Section 10.4(h), Seller shall have no right to take any action with respect to collection of any such outstanding Operating Expenses from any Tenant while such Tenant remains in occupancy of the Property. If Purchaser does not use commercially reasonable efforts to follow-up to collect such sums allocable to Seller, then commencing ninety (90) days after the Closing Date, Seller shall be permitted to send notices to tenants demanding payment of such sums, but Seller shall not initiate litigation, threaten litigation, terminate leases, evict tenants or threaten termination of leases or eviction of tenants.
(i) Except with respect to subsections (e), (f) and (g) of this Section 10.4 (which subsections shall be governed by the provisions thereof), the provisions of this Section 10.4 will survive the Closing for fourteen (14) months.
Section 10.5 Delivery of Real Property. Upon completion of the Closing, Seller will deliver to Purchaser possession of the Real Property and Improvements, subject to the Tenant Leases and the Permitted Exceptions.
Section 10.6 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 costs for the Title Policy and any endorsements, except the portion thereof payable by Seller pursuant to Section 10.6(b) below, (ii) all premiums and other costs for any mortgagee policy of title insurance, including but not limited to any endorsements or deletions, (iii) the costs associated with any modifications, updates, or recertifications of the Survey, (iv) Purchaser’s attorneys’ fees; (v) 1/2 of all of the Title Company’s escrow and closing fees, if any, (vi) all recording fees, (vii) the documentary fee payable at the time of recording the Deed, and (vii) any transfer tax imposed by the City in which the Real Property is located;
28

(c) Any other costs and expenses of Closing not provided for in this Section 10.6 or in other provisions of this Agreement shall be allocated between Purchaser and Seller in accordance with the custom in the county in which the Real Property is located; and
(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 10.7 Post-Closing Delivery of Tenant Notice Letters. Immediately following Closing, Purchaser will deliver to each Tenant (via messenger or certified mail, return receipt requested) a written notice executed by Purchaser (i) indicating that notices to Landlord should thereafter be delivered to Purchaser and giving instructions therefor, (ii) acknowledging that Purchaser has received and is responsible for the Tenant Deposits (specifying the exact amount of the Tenant Deposits) and (iii) indicating that rent should thereafter be paid to Purchaser and giving instructions therefor. Purchaser shall provide to Seller (a) a copy of each such notice letter at Closing, and (b) proof of delivery of same promptly after such proof is available. Immediately following Closing, Seller will deliver to each Tenant (via messenger or certified mail, return receipt requested) a written notice executed by Seller (i) informing each Tenant of the sale of the Property to Purchaser and (ii) informing each Tenant that Purchaser has received the Tenant Deposits. Seller shall provide to Purchaser a copy of each such notice letter delivered by Seller to each Tenant promptly after delivery of same, and proof of delivery of same promptly after such proof is available. To the extent that Purchaser desires to make a claim on a letter of credit, described in Subsection 10.3(e), after the Closing Date and prior to the date the letter of credit is assigned to Purchaser, Seller, at Purchaser’s expense and as reasonably requested by Purchaser, shall cooperate with Purchaser to effectuate any such claim. This Section 10.7 shall survive Closing.
Section 10.8 Illinois Tax Withholding. On or before Closing, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser a certificate issued by the Illinois Department of Revenue stating that the withholding obligations under Section 9.02(d) (“Section 9.02(d)”) of the Illinois Income Tax Act (“Act") do not apply to the transaction contemplated by this Agreement or specifying the holdback of sale proceeds which will satisfy Purchaser’s obligations under said Section 9.02(d) of the Act. If the certificate is not so delivered to Purchaser, as aforesaid, or if the certificate is so delivered and requires that funds be withheld pursuant to the terms thereof, then Purchaser may, at the Closing, deduct and withhold from the proceeds that are due to Seller the amount necessary to comply with the withholding requirements imposed by Section 9.02(d) of the Act. Purchaser shall deposit the amounts withheld in escrow with the Title Company, as escrowee, pursuant to terms and conditions acceptable to Seller and Purchaser, but in any event complying with Section 9.02(d) of the Act. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 10.8, Seller may, at its option, in lieu of the foregoing, provide Purchaser with an indemnity agreement, in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit P, pursuant to which Seller indemnifies
29
Purchaser with respect to all liabilities which may be imposed upon Purchaser as a result of the Section 9.02(d) obligations; however, if Seller subsequently obtains a certificate from the Illinois Department of Revenue indicating that Purchaser is not required to hold back any such sales proceeds, then the aforementioned indemnity agreement shall be null and void.
Section 10.9 City of Chicago Tax Withholding. On or before Closing, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser a written notice issued by the City of Chicago Department of Revenue indicating that Purchaser has no obligation to withhold any amounts from the Purchaser Price upon the transfer of the Property pursuant to the City of Chicago Bulk Sales Ordinance (Sec. 3-1-140 of the Municipal Code of Chicago) (the “City Code Bulk Sales Ordinance”) or specifying the holdback of sale proceeds which will satisfy Purchaser’s obligations under the City Code Bulk Sales Ordinance. If the written notice is not so delivered to Purchaser, as aforesaid, or if the written notice is so delivered and requires that funds be withheld pursuant to the terms thereof, then Purchaser may, at the Closing, deduct and withhold from the proceeds that are due to Seller the amount necessary to comply with the withholding requirements imposed by the City Code Bulk Sales Ordinance. Purchaser shall deposit the amounts withheld in escrow with the Title Company, as escrowee, pursuant to terms and conditions acceptable to Seller and Purchaser, but in any event complying with the City Code Bulk Sales Ordinance. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 10.9, Seller may, at its option, in lieu of the foregoing, provide Purchaser with an indemnity agreement, in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit Q, pursuant to which Seller indemnifies Purchaser with respect to all liabilities which may be imposed upon Purchaser as a result of any such City Code Bulk Sales Ordinance obligations; however, if Seller subsequently obtains a written notice from the City of Chicago Department of Revenue indicating that Purchaser is not required to hold back any such sales proceeds, then the aforementioned indemnity agreement shall be null and void.

Other than as stated in the first sentence of this Section 11.1, Purchaser and Seller represent to the other that no real estate brokers, agents or finders’ fees or commissions are due or will be due or arise in conjunction with the execution of this Agreement or consummation of this transaction by reason of the acts of such party, and 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 his entitlement thereto at the alleged instigation of the indemnifying party for or on account of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

REMEDIES
REMEDIES
Section 13.1 Default by Seller. In the event the 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 remedy, elect by notice to Seller within twenty (20) Business Days following the scheduled Closing Date, either of the following: (a) terminate this Agreement, in which event Purchaser will receive from the Title Company the Earnest Money Deposit and Seller shall pay to Purchaser the lesser of (x) the costs, expenses and other liabilities incurred by Purchaser in connection with the transaction contemplated hereby and/or as the result of such termination (including, without limitation, the costs, expenses and liabilities Purchaser incurs as a result of its inability to perform under any contract as the result of such termination, attorneys’ fees, and diligence costs) or (y) $200,000.00 (the “Purchaser Costs”), and Seller and Purchaser will have no further rights or obligations under this Agreement, except with respect to the Termination Surviving Obligations; or (b) seek to enforce specific performance of the Agreement, and in either event, Purchaser hereby waives all other remedies, including without limitation, any claim against Seller for damages of any type or kind, excluding the Purchaser Costs, but including, without limitation, consequential or punitive damages. Failure of Purchaser to make the foregoing election within the foregoing twenty (20) Business Day period shall be deemed an election by Purchaser to terminate this Agreement and receive from the Title Company the Earnest Money Deposit and the Purchaser Costs, whereupon Seller and Purchaser will have no further rights or obligations under this Agreement, except with respect to the Termination Surviving Obligations.

PROCEDURE FOR INDEMNIFICATION AND LIMITED SURVIVAL OF
REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS
Section 16.1 Survival of Representations, Warranties and Covenants.
(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, (1) the representations and warranties of Seller set forth in Section 8.1 and Seller’s liability under Section 8.1, and (2) Seller’s liability under Section 10.4(f), will survive the Closing for a period of nine (9) months. With respect to any suit, claim or cause of action that Purchaser has or may have as a result of (i) any alleged untruth, inaccuracy or breach of such representations or warranties under Section 8.1, and/or (ii) Seller’s obligations (or as result of Seller’s alleged failure to perform same) under Section 10.4(f), Purchaser must give Seller written notice of any such claims, and must file any such suits, claims or causes of action against Seller based thereon, in each instance prior to the expiration of said nine (9) month period. In the event Purchaser fails to provide such notice and file such suits, claims or causes of action within such nine (9) month period, Seller shall have no liability whatsoever to Purchaser with respect to (1) the representations and warranties set forth in Section 8.1, and (2) the obligations of Seller set forth in Section 10.4(f). Purchaser will not have any right to bring any suit, claim or cause of action against Seller as a result of any alleged untruth, inaccuracy or breach of such representations and warranties under Section 8.1 or in connection with Seller’s obligations (or as a result of Seller’s alleged failure to perform same) under Section 10.4(f) unless and until the aggregate amount of
34
all liability and losses arising out of all such untruths, inaccuracies and breaches exceeds $100,000.00 (in which event Seller’s liability shall be from the first dollar of such loss). In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or any of the Closing documents, including, without limitation, the provisions of Section 17.15 of this Agreement, in no event shall Seller’s liability for all such untruths, inaccuracies and/or breaches under Section 8.1 and 10.4(f) (including Seller’s liability for attorneys’ fees and costs in connection with such untruths, inaccuracies and/or breaches) exceed, in the aggregate, $1,000,000.
(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Seller shall have no liability with respect to any of Seller’s representations, warranties and covenants herein if, prior to the Closing, Purchaser has actual knowledge of any breach of a representation, warranty or covenant of Seller herein or Purchaser obtains actual knowledge from any estoppel certificates or as a result of written disclosure by Seller or any of Seller’s agents, representatives or employees that contradicts any of Seller’s representations, warranties or covenants herein (and the representations and warranties of Seller shall be deemed modified thereby to be accurate), and Purchaser nevertheless consummates the transaction contemplated by this Agreement (in which event any such breach or contradiction shall be deemed waived by Purchaser). For purposes of this subsection (b). Purchaser shall have actual knowledge only to the extent of the present actual (as opposed to constructive or imputed) knowledge of Blake Williams and Edmund Donaldson.
(c) The Closing Surviving Obligations will survive Closing without limitation unless a specified period is otherwise provided in this Agreement. All other representations, warranties, covenants and agreements made or undertaken by Seller under this Agreement, unless otherwise specifically provided herein, will not survive the Closing Date but will be merged into the Closing Documents delivered at the Closing. The Termination Surviving Obligations shall survive termination of this Agreement without limitation unless a specified period is otherwise provided in this Agreement.

MISCELLANEOUS
MISCELLANEOUS
Section 17.1 Waivers. 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. No extension of time for performance of any obligation or act will be deemed an extension of the time for performance of any other obligation or act.
Section 17.2 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. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “attorneys’ fees” or “attorneys’ fees and costs” shall mean all court costs and the fees and expenses of counsel to the parties hereto, which may include printing, photostatting, duplicating and other expenses, air freight charges, and fees billed for law
35
clerks, paralegals and other persons not admitted to the bar but performing services under the supervision of an attorney, and the costs and fees incurred in connection with the enforcement or collection of any judgment obtained in any such proceeding. The provisions of this Section 17.2 shall survive the entry of any judgment, and shall not merge, or be deemed to have merged, into any judgment.
Section 17.3 Time of Essence. Seller and Purchaser hereby acknowledge and agree that time is strictly of the essence with respect to each and every term, condition, obligation and provision hereof.
Section 17.4 Construction. Headings at the beginning of each article and section are solely for the convenience of the parties and are not a part of this Agreement. Whenever required by the context of this Agreement, the singular will include the plural and the masculine will include the feminine and vice versa. This Agreement will not be construed as if it had been prepared by one of the parties, but rather as if both parties had prepared the same. All exhibits and schedules referred to in this Agreement are attached and incorporated by this reference, and any capitalized term used in any exhibit or schedule which is not defined in such exhibit or schedule will have the meaning attributable to such term in the body of this Agreement. In the event the date on which Purchaser or Seller is required to take any action under the terms of this Agreement is not a Business Day, the action will be taken on the next succeeding Business Day.
Section 17.5 Counterparts. To facilitate execution of this Agreement, this Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which, when assembled to include an original or faxed signature for each party contemplated to sign this Agreement, will constitute a complete and fully executed original. All such fully executed original or faxed counterparts will collectively constitute a single agreement.
Section 17.6 Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal, or incapable of being enforced by any rule of law or public policy, all of the other conditions and provisions of this Agreement will nevertheless remain in full force and effect, so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any adverse manner to either party. 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.
Section 17.7 Entire Agreement. This Agreement is the final expression of, and contains the entire agreement between, the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersedes all prior understandings with respect thereto. This Agreement may not be modified, changed, supplemented or terminated, nor may any obligations hereunder be waived, except by written instrument, signed by the party to be charged or by its agent duly authorized in writing, or as otherwise expressly permitted herein.
Section 17.8 Governing Law. THIS AGREEMENT WILL BE CONSTRUED, PERFORMED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS.
36
Section 17.9 No Recording. The parties hereto agree that neither this Agreement nor any affidavit concerning it will be recorded.
Section 17.10 Further Actions. The parties agree to execute such instructions to the Title Company and such other instruments and to do such further acts as may be reasonably necessary to carry out the provisions of this Agreement.
Section 17.11 No Other Inducements. The making, execution and delivery of this Agreement by the parties hereto has been induced by no representations, statements, warranties or agreements other than those expressly set forth herein.
Section 17.12 Exhibits. Exhibits A through Q, inclusive, are incorporated herein by reference.
Section 17.13 No Partnership. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, this Agreement shall not be deemed or construed to make the parties hereto partners or joint venturers, it being the intention of the parties to merely create the relationship of Seller and Purchaser with respect to the Property to be conveyed as contemplated hereby.
Section 17.14 Limitations on Benefits. It is the explicit intention of Purchaser and Seller that no person or entity other than Purchaser and Seller and their permitted successors and assigns is or shall be entitled to bring any action to enforce any provision of this Agreement against any of the parties hereto, and the covenants, undertakings and agreements set forth in this Agreement shall be solely for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable only by, Purchaser and Seller or their respective successors and assigns as permitted hereunder. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall under any circumstances whatsoever be deemed or construed, or be interpreted, as making any third party (including, without limitation, Broker or any Tenant) a beneficiary of any term or provision of this Agreement or any instrument or document delivered pursuant hereto, and Purchaser and Seller expressly reject any such intent, construction or interpretation of this Agreement.
Section 17.15 Exculpation. In no event whatsoever shall Seller’s liability (if any) under this Agreement and the Closing Documents (including any such liability for attorney’s fees and expenses) exceed, in the aggregate, an amount equal to the Purchase Price. In addition, in no event whatsoever shall recourse be had or liability asserted against any of Seller’s partners, members, shareholders, employees, agents, directors, officers or other owners of Seller or their respective constituent partners. Seller’s direct and indirect shareholders, partners, members, beneficiaries and owners and their respective trustees, officers, directors, employees, agents and security holders, assume no personal liability for any obligations entered into on behalf of Seller under this Agreement and the Closing Documents. This provision shall survive Closing.

WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS, Seller owns certain real property and improvements commonly known as 321 North Clark, Chicago, Illinois 60602 (“Property”).
WHEREAS, Seller desires to allow Interested Party to begin its inspection of the Property on the terms and conditions provided for in this Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1. Inspection. (a) Subject to the terms and provisions of this Agreement, Seller shall, during the period (the “Inspection Period”) commencing on the date of this Agreement and ending 5 p.m. (Central Standard Time) on ___, 2006, (x) permit Interested Party and its authorized agents and representatives to enter upon the Property during normal business hours to inspect the Property and (y) provide to Interested Party, to the extent in Seller’s possession or control, such documents or instruments with respect to the use, ownership, operation and maintenance of the Property as may be made available by Seller in the exercise of its discretion. Interested Party shall notify Seller of the Interested Party’s intention, or the intention of its agents, employees, contractors or representatives, to enter the Property at least 24 hours prior to such intended entry.
(b) Any soil borings or other invasive tests to the Property which Interested Party proposes to perform shall require the prior written approval of Seller, which approval may be granted or withheld in Seller’s sole and absolute discretion; provided, however, that prior to giving such approval, Seller shall be provided with a written sampling plan in reasonable detail in order to allow Seller a reasonable opportunity to evaluate such proposal. If Interested Party or its representatives undertake any borings or other disturbances of the soil, the soil shall be re-compacted to substantially the same condition as existed immediately before any such borings or other disturbances were undertaken. If Interested Party or its agents, employees or contractors take any sample from the Property in connection with any testing, Interested Party shall upon the request of Seller, provide to Seller a portion of such sample being tested to allow Seller, if it so chooses, to perform its own testing. Interested Party shall restore the Property to substantially the same condition as existed prior to the inspections promptly after Interested Party’s physical inspections and inquiries of the Property, but in no event later than fifteen (15) days after the damage occurs.
E-1
(c) Interested Party shall bear the cost of all inspections and tests. At Seller’s option, Seller may be present for any inspection or test.
2. Inspection Obligations. In conducting any inspections, investigations or tests (as permitted by this Agreement) of the Property, Interested Party and its agents, employees, contractors and representatives shall: (i) not unreasonably interfere with the use of the Property by any occupant or tenant thereof (“Tenant”); (ii) not unreasonably interfere with the operation and maintenance of the Property; (iii) not damage any part of the Property or personal property located at the Property owned or held by any person or entity; (iv) not injure or otherwise cause bodily harm to Seller or its respective agents, guests, invitees, contractors and employees or any Tenant or any other person or entity; (v) maintain comprehensive general liability insurance covering any accident arising in connection with the presence of Interested Party, its agents, employees, contractors and representatives on the Property in the minimum amounts of $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 in the aggregate, and Seller shall be named as an additional insured thereunder; (vi) not permit any liens to attach to the Property by reason of the exercise of its rights hereunder; (vii) restore the Property to substantially the same condition in which the same was found before any such inspection or tests were undertaken; and (viii) not communicate with any Tenant, governmental authority or service providers without Seller’s written consent; provided, however, (a) upon no less than 48 hours notice to Seller (and with Seller’s participation, if requested by Seller), Interested Party may communicate with any governmental authority (other than any property tax assessor or other taxing authorities) for any good faith reasonable purpose related to the matters described in this clause (viii), unless such communication involves the disclosure or discussion of environmental matters discovered during inspection, in which case Seller’s consent shall be required, and (b) Interested Party may interview tenants and service providers of the Property if the interviews are coordinated through Seller and Seller has the right to have a representative present for each such interview.
3. Confidentiality.
(a) Interested Party and its partners, members, attorneys, agents, contractors, representatives, employees and consultants (collectively “Representatives”) will treat the information, documents and other items or matters disclosed to it by Seller or discovered on account of or pursuant to Interested Party’s inspections (which information shall not include information known by Interested Party prior to such disclosures by Seller or such inspections or any information which is generally known or available to the public other than through Interested Party) (the “Information”) as confidential, giving it the same care as Interested Party’s own confidential information, will not disclose the Information in any manner whatsoever, in whole or in part, and will make no use of any such Information except in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or to the extent required by court or legal requirements (INCLUDING, IF INTERESTED PARTY OR ANY AFFILIATE (OR ENTITY ADVISED BY AN AFFILIATE) OF INTERESTED PARTY MUST DISCLOSE THE INFORMATION IN ANY DOCUMENT AS REQUIRED BY THE FEDERAL SECURITIES LAWS, OR ANY RULES OR REGULATIONS PROMULGATED THEREUNDER). Further, Interested Party agrees to disclose the Information only to the Representatives who need to know the Information for purposes of Interested Party’s evaluation of the Property, provided that
E-2
Interested Party shall have instructed its Representatives as to the confidential nature of such Information (and Interested Party shall be responsible for a breach of confidentiality by any attorney, contractor or consultant engaged by Interested Party (or its agent)).
(b) Upon request by Seller, Interested Party shall promptly return to Seller all Information provided by or on behalf of Seller and, if requested by Seller, deliver to Seller a copy of all third party engineering and environmental reports prepared by or on behalf of Purchaser with respect to the Property, but without any representations or warranties with respect thereto, or right to rely thereon. In addition, and except as required by applicable law, neither party shall issue any such release or make any statement to the media without the other party’s consent, which may be withheld in either party’s sole and absolute discretion. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Information” shall be deemed to include any information, reports, tests, or studies (together with the results of such studies and tests) obtained by or provided to Interested Party or its Representatives regarding the Property, whether in connection with the inspections of the Property, its review of the due diligence materials and other information delivered or made available to Interested Party, or otherwise (but shall not include Information known by Interested Party prior to such disclosures by Seller or such inspections or any information which is generally known or available to the public other than through Interested Party).
(c) In the event that Interested Party is required or requested (by oral questions, interrogatories, requests for information or documents (including without limitations, Freedom of Information Law requirements), subpoena, Civil Investigative Demand or other process) to disclose any Information, Interested Party agrees to provide Seller with prompt notice of any such requirement or request so that Seller may seek an appropriate protective order or waive Interested Party’s compliance with the provisions of this Agreement. If a protective order or the receipt of a waiver hereunder has not been obtained, or if prior notice is not possible, and Interested Party is, based upon the advice of Interested Party’s counsel, compelled to disclose Information, Interested Party may disclose that portion of the Information which Interested Party’s counsel advises Interested Party that Interested Party is compelled to disclose. In any event, Interested Party will not oppose action by Seller to obtain an appropriate protective order or other reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded the Information.
(d) Interested Party understands and acknowledges that Seller does not make any representations or warranties as to the accuracy or completeness of the Information. Seller expressly disclaims any and all liability for representations or warranties, express or implied, in or related to the Information, or in any other written or oral communications transmitted or made available to Interested Party by Seller.
(e) Interested Party shall not record any memorandum disclosing this Agreement.
(f) Interested Party’s obligations under Section 3(a), (b) and (c) shall terminate upon the earlier (x) the acquisition of the Property by Interested Party, and (y) the second anniversary of the date of this Agreement.
4. Indemnification. Interested Party acknowledges that remedies at law may be inadequate to protect against breach of this Agreement, and Interested Party hereby agrees in
E-3
advance to the granting of injunctive relief in Seller’s favor without proof of actual damages, in addition to any other remedies available at law or in equity.
