If any dispute (the “Dispute”) arises between any of the parties to this Contract including, but not limited to, payment of the Fee, then any party (including any Broker) may give written notice to the other parties, requiring all involved parties to attempt to resolve the Dispute by mediation.

PURCHASER AND ITS SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS HAVE, AND SHALL BE DEEMED TO HAVE, ASSUMED ALL RISK AND LIABILITY WITH RESPECT TO THE PRESENCE OF TOXIC OR HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES, MATERIALS OR WASTES OR OTHER ACTUAL OR POTENTIAL ENVIRONMENTAL CONTAMINATES ON, WITHIN OR UNDER THE SURFACE OF THE PROPERTY, WHETHER KNOWN OR UNKNOWN, APPARENT, NON-APPARENT OR LATENT, AND WHETHER EXISTING PRIOR TO, AT OR SUBSEQUENT TO TRANSFER OF THE PROPERTY TO PURCHASER.

          F.          From and after the Effective Date until the Closing Date or earlier termination of this Contract, Seller shall:
   
 
             (1) Manage the Property in the ordinary course of business as Seller has previously done, and shall not commit or permit any waste on the Property.
   
 
             (2) Not enter into any written or oral service contract or other agreement with respect to the Property without the prior written consent of the Purchaser, unless the contract or agreement may be terminated upon 30 days written notice by Purchaser. Subject to Purchaser’s review of service contracts affecting the Property during the Inspection Period, Purchaser agrees at Closing to assume the Seller’s obligations under all service contracts affecting or pertaining to the Property that were entered into by Seller prior to the Effective Date, or that were entered into by Seller after the Effective Date with Purchaser’s approval, including, without limitation, contracts for the provision of landscaping services with respect to the Property.
   
 
             (3) Advise Purchaser promptly after Seller receives notice of (or institutes) any litigation, arbitration, or administrative hearing before any governmental or quasi-governmental agency or authority concerning or affecting the Property which is instituted or threatened after the Effective Date.

Addendum F - Other Provisions - Page 3

 
 
 
             (5) Not permit any mechanic’s or materialmen’s liens to attach to any portion of the Property, unless such liens are contested and Seller provides a bond or security at Closing to assure that such liens will be satisfied and discharged.
 
          G.        Purchaser and its agents and representative shall maintain the terms of this Agreement, and the content of all information and reports obtained from Seller relating to the Property, confidential and shall not disclose any such confidential information to any other person or entity without obtaining Seller’s prior written consent.
 
          H.        Seller shall, as a condition to Purchaser’s obligation to Close the transactions contemplated under this Contract, provide to Purchaser on or before the Closing Date, as may be extended, an estoppel certificate (“Estoppel Certificate”) that is in the form of the estoppel certificate attached hereto as Exhibit F-l, or that is upon terms that are materially the same to those contained in the form of estoppel certificate attached hereto as Exhibit F-l, executed by the GSA. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and in lieu thereof, Purchaser agrees that this condition to Closing will be satisfied if on or before the Closing Date, as may be extended, Seller shall provide to Purchaser (i) a letter (“Letter Estoppel”) executed by the GSA, as allowed for under Sections 5(a) and 5(b) on Page 4 of the General Clauses section of the Lease, providing for the certifications referenced therein, and subject to the conditions set forth therein and (ii) an indemnity from Scott A. Larson (“Larson”) in the form the Indemnification Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit F-2, executed by Larson, pursuant to which Larson shall indemnify the Purchaser for any current default of the Seller, as landlord, and for any default of Seller, as landlord, that existed in the past and for which the GSA may exercise remedies, under the Lease, referenced above, subject to the terms and conditions contained therein; provided, however, Seller agrees to use good faith efforts to obtain the Estoppel Certificate. In the event that the Seller is unable to provide the Estoppel Certificate, or Letter Estoppel (with Larson’s indemnity discussed below) as required above by the Closing Date, then the Closing Date shall automatically be extended for a period of fifteen (15) days in order to provide Seller with additional time to obtain such Estoppel Certificate or Letter Estoppel, as the case may be. Purchaser agrees that the Estoppel Certificate or Letter Estoppel, as the case may be, may be addressed to Seller and to its lender as long as the same is assignable, and Seller assigns its interests thereunder to Purchaser at Closing. In the event that the Seller is unable to provide to Purchaser the Estoppel Certificate or the Letter Estoppel (with Larson’s indemnity) as required above on or before the Closing Date, as extended as provided above, then Purchaser may either waive this requirement of receiving the Estoppel Certificate or Letter Estoppel prior to the Closing and proceed to Close the purchase of the Property under this Contract, or terminate this Contract by providing written notice of termination to the Seller, in which case this Contract shall be terminated and the Purchaser’s Earnest Money shall be refunded to Purchaser, and the parties shall have no further obligations to each other under this Contract. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event either (i) that Purchaser elects to Close the purchase of the Property, waiving the requirement of receiving the Estoppel Certificate or Letter Estoppel, as provided for above, or (ii) Seller delivers the Letter Estoppel, or an Estoppel Certificate that is in a form materially different than that attached hereto as Exhibit F-l, the Seller shall nonetheless be required to provide to Purchaser at the Closing the Indemnification Agreement, referenced below, executed by Larson.

Larson, by his signature to this Addendum F, below, agrees that at the Closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, he will execute and deliver to Purchaser the Indemnification Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit F-2, if and as required in accordance with Paragraph H above. In that regard, Larson agrees to the indemnity contained in such Indemnification Agreement, subject to the terms and conditions contained therein.
 
          J.          Seller agrees to deliver at Closing affidavits acceptable by the title company stating (i) that there are no outstanding debts or liens affecting the Property that will not be satisfied at Closing, and (ii) that no changes have occurred at the Property so that the Survey is an accurate reflection of the same.
 
          IN WITNESS WHEREOF, this Addendum has been executed as for the date of the Agreement, referenced above.
