     Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, Seller shall retain and reserve any and all indemnification rights that may currently exist for the benefit of Seller under the Leases, Subleases, Intangibles or other documents or agreements to the extent that the same pertain to any claims, liabilities or actions arising in connection with acts, omissions or conditions that occurred or existed prior to Closing; provided, however, that such retention and reservation shall be limited to the extent necessary to also provide Buyer with the benefit of such indemnification rights if any claim is made against Buyer arising out of or relating to those same acts, omissions or conditions.
     Section 1.2. Property Defined. The Land and the Improvements are hereinafter sometimes referred to individually as a “Real Property,” and collectively as the “Real Properties.” The Real Property, the Personal Property, the Leases, the Subleases and the Intangibles are hereinafter sometimes referred to individually as a “Property”, and collectively as the “Properties.” The term “Real Properties” and “Properties” shall be amended to reflect any Partial Termination (as defined below) with respect to any Property as provided herein.
     Section 1.3. Purchase Price. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, Seller shall sell and Buyer shall purchase the Properties for the amount of Three Hundred Seventy Million Nine Hundred Thirty Six Thousand Seven Hundred Eighty Seven Dollars ($370,936,787) (as increased or decreased by prorations and adjustments as herein provided or as a result of any Partial Termination of this Agreement with respect to one or more Properties hereunder in accordance with the terms of this Agreement) (the “Purchase Price”). The parties hereby agree that the Purchase Price shall be allocated among each Property as set forth on Schedule 1.3 attached hereto (the “Allocated Purchase Price”). The parties agree that the Allocated Purchase Price has been arrived at by a process of arm’s-length negotiations, including, without limitation, the parties’ best judgment as to the fair market value of each respective asset, and the parties

3


 

specifically agree to the Allocated Purchase Price as final and binding, and will consistently reflect those allocations on their respective federal, state and local tax returns, including any state, county and other local transfer or sales tax declarations or forms to be filed in connection with this transaction, which obligations shall survive the Closing.
     Section 1.4. Payment of Purchase Price.
     The Purchase Price, as increased or decreased by prorations and adjustments as herein provided and less the Deposit (as hereinafter defined) previously deposited by Buyer into Escrow (as hereinafter defined), shall be payable in full at the Closing in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds to a bank account designated by Seller in writing to Buyer prior to the Closing.
     Section 1.5. Opening of Escrow; Deposit.
     Buyer previously opened escrow (the “Escrow”) with First American Title Insurance Company, a California corporation (the “Title Company”), having its office at 5775 Glenridge Drive Suite A-240, Atlanta Georgia 30328, pursuant to that certain Escrow Agreement, dated as of February 15, 2008, by and between Buyer and Title Company (the “Escrow Agreement”). Pursuant to the Escrow Agreement, Buyer previously deposited with Title Company a sum equal to Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000) (the “First Deposit”) in good funds either by certified bank or cashier’s check or by federal wire transfer. Concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, (i) the parties hereby agree that the Escrow Agreement shall be of no further force and effect and that Escrow, the First Deposit and (if applicable) the Second Deposit described below shall be held and disbursed by Title Company in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and (ii) the parties shall deposit with Title Company a fully executed original or original counterpart(s) of this Agreement. If this Agreement is not terminated or deemed terminated by Buyer prior to the expiration of the Contingency Period pursuant to Section 3.5 hereof, then within two (2) Business Days after the expiration of the Contingency Period, Buyer shall deposit with Title Company an additional sum equal to Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000) (the “Second Deposit”) in good funds either by certified bank or cashier’s check or by federal wire transfer. The First Deposit and the Second Deposit (i.e., collectively, Four Million Dollars ($4,000,000)), but excluding interest and earnings thereon, shall hereinafter be referred to collectively as the “Deposit”. The parties hereby direct Title Company to immediately invest the Deposit and the income generated thereby following Title Company’s receipt of the same, in a money market account that provides daily liquidity, or a similar interest bearing money market or bank account as shall be approved by Buyer, in its sole discretion. Title Company shall otherwise handle the Deposit and all earnings thereon in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. All interest accrued on the Deposit shall belong solely and exclusively to Buyer, and shall not be deemed part of the Deposit. Subject to Section 4.1(c) hereof, the entire Deposit (exclusive of interest or earnings accrued thereon) shall be credited to the Purchase Price upon the close of Escrow and, unless otherwise expressly instructed by Buyer, all such interest and earnings shall be paid to Buyer upon the close of Escrow. All costs and fees imposed on the Deposit account (including, without limitation, Title Company’s fees) shall be paid equally by Buyer and Seller. The failure of Buyer to timely deliver any portion of the Deposit hereunder shall constitute a material default by Buyer hereunder (unless such failure is in connection with Buyer exercising its termination rights

4


 

hereunder), and shall entitle Seller, at Seller’s sole option, to terminate this Agreement immediately, retain any portion of the Deposit previously delivered by Buyer to Escrow, and recover from Buyer the full amount of any remaining portion of the Deposit that should have been deposited into Escrow by Buyer hereunder. Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement, the Deposit (excluding the accrued interest thereon) shall be nonrefundable upon expiration of the Contingency Period.
     Section 1.6. Liquidated Damages.
     (a) AFTER EXPIRATION OF THE CONTINGENCY PERIOD, IN THE EVENT THE SALE OF THE PROPERTIES AS CONTEMPLATED HEREUNDER IS NOT CONSUMMATED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT FOR ANY REASON OTHER THAN BUYER’S MATERIAL BREACH OF THIS AGREEMENT OR FAILURE OF THE CONDITION SET FORTH IN SECTION 4.8(c) TO BE SATISFIED, TITLE COMPANY SHALL DELIVER TO BUYER THE DEPOSIT AND ALL INTEREST AND OTHER AMOUNTS EARNED FROM THE INVESTMENT THEREOF WITHIN THREE (3) BUSINESS DAYS AFTER TITLE COMPANY’S RECEIPT OF BUYER’S WRITTEN REQUEST.
     (b) AFTER EXPIRATION OF THE CONTINGENCY PERIOD, IN THE EVENT THE SALE OF THE PROPERTIES AS CONTEMPLATED HEREUNDER IS NOT CONSUMMATED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT AS A RESULT OF BUYER’S MATERIAL BREACH OF THIS AGREEMENT OR FAILURE OF THE CONDITION SET FORTH IN SECTION 4.8(c) TO BE SATISFIED, TITLE COMPANY SHALL (i) DELIVER TO SELLER THE DEPOSIT AS LIQUIDATED DAMAGES AND (ii) DELIVER TO BUYER ALL INTEREST AND OTHER AMOUNTS EARNED FROM THE INVESTMENT OF THE DEPOSIT WITHIN THREE (3) BUSINESS DAYS AFTER TITLE COMPANY’S RECEIPT OF SELLER’S WRITTEN REQUEST.
     (c) THE BUYER AND SELLER RECOGNIZE THAT SELLER’S ACTUAL DAMAGES IN THE EVENT THE SALE IS NOT CONSUMMATED AS A RESULT OF BUYER’S DEFAULT OR FAILURE OF THE CONDITION SET FORTH IN SECTION 4.8(c) TO BE SATISFIED ARE EXTREMELY DIFFICULT OR IMPRACTICABLE TO DETERMINE AT THE EFFECTIVE DATE. THEREFORE, BY SEPARATELY EXECUTING THIS SECTION 1.6 BELOW, THE PARTIES ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE AMOUNT OF THE DEPOSIT HAS BEEN AGREED UPON, AFTER NEGOTIATION, AS THE PARTIES’ REASONABLE ESTIMATE OF SELLER’S DAMAGES AND NOT A PENALTY, AND SHALL BE SELLER’S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY AGAINST BUYER ARISING FROM A FAILURE OF THE SALE TO CLOSE AS A RESULT OF BUYER’S BREACH OF THIS AGREEMENT OR FAILURE OF THE CONDITION SET FORTH IN SECTION 4.8(c) TO BE SATISFIED.
     (d) NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, IN NO EVENT SHALL THIS SECTION 1.6 LIMIT THE DAMAGES RECOVERABLE BY EITHER PARTY AGAINST THE OTHER PARTY DUE TO THE OTHER PARTY’S OBLIGATION TO INDEMNIFY SUCH PARTY IN ACCORDANCE WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR BY REASON OF THE OTHER PARTY’S OBLIGATION TO PAY THE PREVAILING PARTY’S ATTORNEYS’

5


 

FEES AND COSTS PURSUANT TO SECTION 10.16 HEREOF. BY SEPARATELY EXECUTING THIS SECTION 1.6. BELOW, BUYER AND SELLER ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THEY HAVE READ AND UNDERSTOOD THE ABOVE PROVISION COVERING LIQUIDATED DAMAGES, AND THAT EACH PARTY WAS REPRESENTED BY COUNSEL WHO EXPLAINED THE CONSEQUENCES OF THIS LIQUIDATED DAMAGES PROVISION AT THE TIME THIS AGREEMENT WAS EXECUTED.
     (e) The provisions of this Section 1.6 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

     Section 1.7. Title Company.
     By its execution and delivery of this Agreement, Title Company agrees to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement to the extent applicable to its duties, liabilities and obligations as “Title Company.” Title Company shall hold and dispose of the Deposit in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Title Company shall incur no liability in connection with the safekeeping or disposition of the Deposit for any reason other than Title Company’s breach of contract, willful misconduct or negligence. If Title Company is in doubt as to its duties or obligations with regard to the Deposit, or if Title Company receives conflicting instructions from Buyer and Seller with respect to the Deposit, Title Company shall not be required to disburse the Deposit and may, at its option, continue to hold the Deposit until both Buyer and Seller agree as to its disposition, or until a final judgment is entered by a court of competent jurisdiction directing its disposition, or Title Company may interplead the Deposit in accordance with the laws of the State of New York. Title Company shall not be responsible for any interest on the Deposit except as is actually earned, or for the loss of any interest or other earnings resulting from the withdrawal of the Deposit prior to the date interest is posted thereon. All such interest and earnings shall belong solely to Buyer. The Escrow General Provisions are attached hereto as Exhibit C and made a part hereof. In the event of any conflict between the terms and provisions of this Agreement and the Escrow General Provisions, the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall control.
     Section 1.8. Independent Contract Consideration.
     Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, One Hundred and No/100 Dollars ($100.00) of the Deposit is delivered to the Title Company for delivery to Seller as “Independent Contract Consideration”, and the Deposit is reduced by the amount of the Independent Contract Consideration so delivered to Seller, which amount has been bargained for and agreed to as consideration for Seller’s execution and delivery of this Agreement.

TITLE AND SURVEY
     Section 2.1. Title Contingency Period. During the period beginning on the Effective Date and ending (subject to the provisions of Section 3.7) at 5:00 p.m. Los Angeles, California time on March 14, 2008 (such period, as may be extended as permitted herein, the “Title Contingency Period”), Buyer shall have the right to review and investigate any and all conditions and aspects of title to the Real Properties. Without limiting the foregoing, Buyer shall have the right to review: (a) a current preliminary title report or title commitment prepared by the Title Company covering each of the Real Properties and all underlying exceptions, which shall be obtained by Buyer from the Title Company (the “Title Commitments”), and (b) a copy of the most current ALTA survey of each of the Real Properties in Seller’s actual possession and control, if any (the “Existing Surveys”) (the items referred to in clauses (a) and (b) of this Section 2.1 are hereinafter referred to as the “Title Contingency Items”); provided, however, in no event shall the Title Contingency Period be extended or delayed if Seller does not possess or is unable to locate an Existing Survey of any of the Real Properties. During the Title Contingency Period, Buyer shall also have the right to obtain and review additional documentation relating to the Real Properties including, without limitation, a new or updated

9


 

ALTA survey of each of the Real Properties prepared by a licensed surveyor or engineer, obtained by Buyer at Buyer’s sole cost (the “New Surveys”); provided, however, that in no event shall the Title Contingency Period be extended or delayed in order to permit Seller to obtain or review any New Surveys. For purposes of the preceding sentence only, a “new or updated ALTA Survey” shall mean an ALTA survey with the 2005 Minimum Standard Detail Requirements for ALTA/ACSM Land Title Surveys jointly established and adopted by ALTA and ACSM in 2005 that meets the Accuracy Standards, as adopted by ALTA and National Society of Professional Surveyors (a member organization of the ACSM), to include items 1 (except for states that require record monument platting), 2, 3, 4, 6, 7(a), 7(b)(l), 7(c), 8, 9, 10, 11(a), 13, 14, 16, 17, 18, and 19 (to the extent possible, graphically depicting on the survey drawing the zoning setback lines) of Table A thereof.
     Section 2.2. Title Examination. Buyer shall notify Seller in a reasonably detailed writing (the “Title Objection Notice”) prior to the expiration of the Title Contingency Period which exceptions to title (including survey matters), if any, will not be accepted by Buyer and the specific reasonable grounds for disapproval thereof. Any exception to title, encumbrance or other matter which is disclosed in the Title Contingency Items, any New Survey, or any other materials delivered or made available to, or otherwise obtained by, Buyer prior to the expiration of the Title Contingency Period, and which Buyer fails to disapprove prior to the expiration of the Title Contingency Period shall be deemed conclusively to have been approved by Buyer; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer shall have until the earlier to occur of seven (7) days after (i) receipt of any New Survey, or (ii) the expiration of the Title Contingency Period (the “Updated Survey Contingency Deadline”) to object to any matter that is disclosed on such New Survey that (x) was not disclosed by the Existing Survey or any other materials obtained by or made available to Buyer prior to the expiration of the Title Contingency Period, (y) was not known to Buyer prior to the expiration of the Title Contingency Period and (z) would have a material adverse effect on the value or utility of the Property to which it pertains. If Buyer delivers any Title Objection Notice to Seller, then Seller shall have five (5) Business Days after receipt of the Title Objection Notice to notify Buyer in writing that Seller either (i) will remove such objectionable exception or matter from title or survey on or before the Closing (provided that Seller may, at the time of Seller’s notice of its election to Buyer, request to extend the Closing for such period as shall be reasonably required to effect such cure, but not beyond thirty (30) days, in which case Buyer shall be required to either extend the Closing as so requested or revoke Buyer’s notice with respect to such exception from title, and upon any such revocation the parties hereto shall thereafter proceed to Closing without any extension therefor), or (ii) elects not to cause such objection to be removed (a “Non-Removal Notice”). If Seller fails to notify Buyer of its election within said five (5) Business Day period, then Seller shall be deemed to have delivered a Non-Removal Notice as to that exception. The procurement by Seller, at no additional cost to Buyer, of a commitment for the issuance of the Title Policy (as defined below) or an endorsement thereto reasonably satisfactory to Buyer and insuring Buyer against any title exception which was disapproved pursuant to this Section 2.2 shall be deemed a cure by Seller of such disapproval. Any updates to any Existing Surveys or New Surveys necessitated by Seller’s cure of any title objection shall be Buyer’s sole responsibility, both as to performance and payment of costs therefor. If Seller gives (or is deemed to have given) Buyer a Non-Removal Notice, then Buyer shall have until the date that is five (5) Business Days after the date that Seller shall have given (or be deemed to have given) the Non-Removal Notice to notify Seller in writing that Buyer elects to either (A) nevertheless proceed with the purchase and take

10


 

title to the Properties subject to such exceptions, or (B) terminate this Agreement with respect to all, but not less than all, of the Properties, in which event the provisions of Section 3.6 below shall apply. If Buyer fails to notify Seller in writing, of its election on or prior to the expiration of such five (5) Business Day period, then Buyer shall be deemed to have elected to proceed with the purchase and take title to the Properties subject to such exceptions without any reduction in the Purchase Price. The operation of the notice and approval provisions of this Section 2.2 shall extend the Title Contingency Period only as to those matters which Buyer has disapproved as of the original expiration of the Title Contingency Period and only until such time as Buyer has either approved (or is deemed to have approved) the condition of title to the Real Properties, or elected to terminate this Agreement in accordance with the provisions hereof.
     (b) Buyer may, at or prior to Closing, notify Seller in writing (the “Gap Notice”) of any objection to any liens, encumbrances, easements, restrictions, conditions, covenants, rights, rights-of-way, or other matters affecting title to the Properties (each, an “Intervening Lien”) (i) raised by the Title Company after the expiration of the Title Contingency Period and prior to the Closing or otherwise disclosed on any update or revision to any New Survey received by Buyer after the Updated Survey Contingency Deadline and prior to the Closing, and (ii) which (A) was not disclosed by the Title Company or by any Existing Survey, New Survey or other materials made available to Buyer prior to the expiration of the Title Contingency Period or the Updated Survey Contingency Deadline, as applicable, (B) was not known to Buyer prior to the expiration of the Title Contingency Period, or (C) would not have been disclosed by a reasonable physical inspection of the Properties prior to the expiration of the Title Contingency Period. Buyer must notify Seller of such objection to any such Intervening Liens within three (3) Business Days of receiving written notice of, or materials disclosing, the existence of such Intervening Liens (provided, however, if receipt of written notice of, or materials disclosing, such additional matters is less than three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, then the Closing Date shall be extended as necessary to permit the procedures in this section to be implemented). Failure to timely deliver a Gap Notice to Seller shall be deemed to be Buyer’s approval of any such Intervening Lien. If Buyer sends a Gap Notice to Seller, then Buyer and Seller shall have the same rights and obligations with respect to such Gap Notice as apply to a Title Objection Notice under Section 2.2(a).
     Section 2.3. Permitted Exceptions. The Properties shall be conveyed subject to the following matters, which are hereinafter referred to as the “Permitted Exceptions”:
     (a) those matters that are either approved or deemed approved by Buyer in accordance with Section 2.2 and Section 2.3 hereof;
     (b) the rights of tenants or other occupants under the Leases, any subleases and any other occupancy agreements, including any Pre-Emptive Rights (as such term is defined in Section 4.9 hereof) thereunder;
     (c) the lien of all ad valorem real estate taxes and assessments not yet due and payable as of the date of Closing, subject to proration as herein provided;

11


 

     (d) local, state and federal laws, ordinances or governmental regulations, including but not limited to building and zoning laws, ordinances and regulations, now or hereafter in effect relating to the Properties; and
     (e) items shown on the Title Commitments, Existing Surveys or New Surveys and not objected to by Buyer, or waived or deemed waived by Buyer in accordance with Section 2.2 hereof and if Buyer does not obtain New Surveys, those matters which would be disclosed by an accurate survey or inspection of the Properties.
     Section 2.4. Conveyance of Title. At Closing, Seller shall convey and transfer, or cause to be conveyed or transferred, to Buyer (a) with respect to each Real Property other than the Ground Lease Properties, fee simple title to such Real Property by execution and delivery of the Deeds (as defined in Section 4.2(a) hereof) and (b) with respect to the Ground Lease Properties, the leasehold and sub-subleasehold interests, as applicable, in and to such Ground Lease Properties by execution and delivery of an Assignment of Ground Lease (as defined in Section 4.2(b) hereof). Evidence of delivery of such fee title and leasehold and sub-subleasehold interests shall be the issuance by the Title Company of current ALTA Standard Coverage Owner’s Policies of Title Insurance and ALTA Leasehold Policies of Title Insurance (or their equivalent in the applicable jurisdictions), as applicable (each a “Title Policy”, and collectively, the “Title Policies”) covering each Real Property, in the full amount of the Allocated Purchase Price for such Real Property, showing fee title, leasehold interest or sub-subleasehold interest, as applicable, to such Real Property vested exclusively in Buyer, subject only to the Permitted Exceptions (or the Title Company’s written commitment to issue such Title Policies). Except as provided below and in Section 4.6 hereof, the cost of the Title Policies shall be paid by Seller. If prior to the Closing, Buyer shall deliver to Title Company New Surveys meeting the minimum standards as required by the Title Company for issuance of ALTA Extended Owner’s Policies of Title Insurance or Leasehold Policies of Title Insurance (or their equivalent in the applicable jurisdictions), then Buyer shall be entitled to obtain ALTA Extended Coverage Owner’s Policies or Leasehold Policies of Title Insurance (or their equivalent in the applicable jurisdictions) in lieu of ALTA Standard Coverage Owner’s Policies or Leasehold Policies (or their equivalent in the applicable jurisdictions) so long as the Closing is not thereby delayed. Buyer shall pay the additional premium for such policies, including any endorsements thereto, and the cost of such New Surveys.

REVIEW OF PROPERTY
     Section 3.1. Right of Inspection. During the period from the Effective Date and ending (subject to the provisions of Section 3.7) at 5:00 p.m. Los Angeles, California time on March 14, 2008 (hereinafter referred to as the “Contingency Period”), Buyer and its authorized representatives (including its designated engineers, architects, surveyors and/or consultants) shall have the right (i) to review and investigate any and all conditions and aspects of the Properties in Buyer’s sole discretion (except as expressly provided below and except for title and survey matters, which shall be governed by Article II hereof), (ii) to receive and review copies of those items listed in Exhibit D attached hereto (the “Property Documents”) to the extent in Seller’s possession or control, and (iii) at Buyer’s sole cost and expense, to make physical inspections of and conduct tests and reviews upon the Real Properties, including, but not limited to, an

12


 

inspection of the environmental condition thereof pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and to examine such other documents and files (i.e., in addition to the Property Documents) concerning the leasing, maintenance and operation of the Properties that are within Seller’s actual possession or control and which have been made available to Buyer through the secure website (the “E-Room”) to which Buyer has previously been granted access. If required by law, Seller shall provide at Closing a Natural Hazards Disclosure Report or similar disclosure report prior to the expiration of the Contingency Period.
     (b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 3.1(a) above, Buyer acknowledges that it shall have no right to examine any of the following documents in connection with its review of the Properties: (i) partnership, limited liability company or corporate records of Seller, (ii) internal memoranda of Seller, (iii) financial projections or budgets prepared by or for Seller, (iv) appraisals prepared by or for Seller, (v) accounting or tax records of Seller, (vi) similar proprietary, confidential or privileged information, and (vii) any internal memoranda relating to the foregoing (collectively, the “Confidential Documents”).
     (c) All on-site inspections of the Properties shall be undertaken in accordance with the terms and conditions of that certain Due Diligence License and Access Agreement, dated as of February 15, 2008, by and between Seller and Buyer (as may be amended, modified, supplemented and amended and restated from time to time, the “Access Agreement”). Upon request by Seller, Buyer will furnish to Seller copies of any reports received by Buyer relating to any inspection of the Properties, without representation or warranty of any kind (express, implied or otherwise) as to the content and accuracy thereof, and at no charge to Seller, but such reports shall at all times be and remain the property of Buyer. Buyer agrees to protect, indemnify, defend (with counsel reasonably satisfactory to Seller) and hold Seller and Seller’s employees, officers, directors, representatives, invitees, tenants, agents, contractors, servants, attorneys, shareholders, participants, affiliates, partners, members, parents, subsidiaries, successors and assignees, free and harmless from and against any claim for liabilities, losses, costs, expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), damages or injuries arising out of, or resulting from the inspection of the Properties by Buyer or its agents or consultants; provided, however, that Buyer shall not be responsible for any liability, damage, loss, cost or expense arising out of Buyer’s discovery of a pre-existing condition at any of the Properties, including reporting any such condition to the appropriate authorities if required to do so by law and Seller shall be solely responsible for any liability, damage, loss, cost or expense arising out of Buyer’s discovery of such pre-existing condition at any of the Properties, and for compliance with any reporting obligation that arises from such discovery. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, (1) Buyer shall not be relieved of its obligation to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Seller in the event that any pre-existing condition is aggravated by Buyer and/or Buyer’s representatives in connection with any inspection of the Properties, and (2) Buyer’s obligation to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Seller pursuant to this Section 3.1(c) shall survive Closing or any termination of this Agreement.
     (d) Buyer’s right of access to the Properties shall also include the right during the Contingency Period to meet and confer with tenants of the Properties in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Access Agreement.

     Section 3.2. Environmental Reports. SELLER SHALL PROMPTLY PROVIDE BUYER COPIES OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL REPORTS LISTED ON EXHIBIT E (THE “ENVIRONMENTAL REPORTS”), WHICH SHALL BE MADE AVAILABLE ON THE E-ROOM AS PART OF THE PROPERTY DOCUMENTS WITHOUT REPRESENTATION AND WARRANTY. SELLER SHALL HAVE NO LIABILITY OR OBLIGATION WHATSOEVER FOR ANY INACCURACY IN OR OMISSION FROM ANY ENVIRONMENTAL REPORT. BUYER SHALL HAVE NO CLAIMS AGAINST THE PREPARER OF ANY ENVIRONMENTAL REPORT PROVIDED BY SELLER IN CONNECTION WITH ANY SUCH REPORT. BUYER HAS CONDUCTED, OR WILL CONDUCT PRIOR TO THE EXPIRATION OF THE CONTINGENCY PERIOD, ITS OWN INVESTIGATION OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITION OF THE PROPERTIES TO THE EXTENT BUYER DEEMS SUCH AN INVESTIGATION TO BE NECESSARY OR APPROPRIATE.
     Section 3.3. No Financing Contingency. It is expressly agreed that there shall not be any conditions making Buyer’s obligations under this Agreement contingent upon the obtaining of any financing by Buyer. The purchase of the Properties under this Agreement shall be on an “ALL CASH” basis, to be paid in accordance with Section 4.3 of this Agreement.
     Section 3.4. Review of Estoppel Certificates.
     (a) Seller shall prepare for each tenant under a Lease an estoppel certificate in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit F-l (with such modifications thereto as are necessary to conform it to the applicable provisions of the subject lease), or in the form or containing such information as is required by any Lease (the “Tenant Estoppels”), and shall deliver drafts of the same to Buyer for Buyer’s approval. Buyer shall have two (2) Business Days from its receipt of any draft estoppel certificate to provide comments thereto or approve the same. Failure of Buyer to so respond within such two (2) Business Day period shall be deemed to constitute Buyer’s approval of said draft. Once draft estoppel certificates have been approved or deemed approved by Buyer (a “Pre-Approved Form Estoppel”) Seller shall deliver the same to the applicable tenants under the Leases and request that the tenants complete and sign the Tenant Estoppels and return them to Seller within ten (10) days after each tenant’s receipt of the same or such time period required by the terms of the applicable Lease. Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain an executed Tenant Estoppel from each tenant under a Lease at least three (3) Business Days prior to Closing; provided, however, that in no event shall Seller be required to declare an event of default under any Lease for a tenant’s failure to deliver a Tenant Estoppel or otherwise be required to institute legal proceedings against any tenant in connection therewith. Seller shall (i) use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain and deliver to Buyer, at least three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, Tenant Estoppels from tenants which collectively occupy no less than eighty percent (80%) of the Allocated Purchase Price of those Properties to be conveyed on the Closing Date, and (ii) deliver estoppel certificates executed by Seller (“Seller Estoppels”), in the form of Exhibit F-2 attached hereto (with such modifications thereto as are necessary to conform it to the applicable provisions of the subject Lease), or in the form or containing such information as is required by such Lease (the “Pre-Approved Form Seller Estoppel”), for those Tenant Estoppels of the tenants occupying the Properties to be conveyed on the Closing Date which were not obtained, provided that in no event shall such Seller Estoppels collectively pertain to Properties representing in excess of twenty percent (20%)

14


 

of the Allocated Purchase Price of the Properties to be conveyed on the Closing Date. Seller’s failure to deliver Tenant Estoppels (or Seller Estoppels, as applicable) shall not constitute a default by Seller hereunder. Buyer shall have two (2) Business Days after receipt of each executed Tenant Estoppel and Seller Estoppel to review and approve such Tenant Estoppel and Seller Estoppel; provided, however, that Buyer shall be required to approve any Tenant Estoppel or Seller Estoppel which is (i) substantially in the form of the Pre-Approved Form Estoppel or Pre-Approved Form Seller Estoppel, as applicable, or (ii) in the form or contains such information as is required by the applicable Lease (each such estoppel not substantially in such form being referred herein as an “Unacceptable Estoppel”). Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary herein, neither references in any Tenant Estoppel or Seller Estoppel to any of the matters described on Schedule 3.4(a), nor deviations from the Pre-Approved Form Estoppel or Pre-Approved Form Seller Estoppel with regard to such matters, shall in any way constitute a basis for Buyer to deem any estoppel certificate an Unacceptable Estoppel. Seller shall be released from liability under a Seller Estoppel upon delivery to Buyer of a Tenant Estoppel from the corresponding tenant to the extent such Tenant Estoppel is substantially in the form of the Pre-Approved Form Estoppel.
     (b) Seller shall prepare for each lessor under a Ground Lease an estoppel certificate in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit F-3 (with such modifications thereto as are necessary to conform it to the applicable provisions of the subject ground lease), or in the form or containing such information as is required by any Ground Lease (the “Lessor Estoppels”), and shall deliver drafts of the same to Buyer for Buyer’s approval. Buyer shall have two (2) Business Days from its receipt of any draft lessor estoppel certificate to provide comments thereto or approve the same. Failure of Buyer to so respond within such two (2) Business Day period shall be deemed to constitute Buyer’s approval of said draft. Once draft lessor estoppel certificates have been approved or deemed approved by Buyer (a “Pre-Approved Form Lessor Estoppel”) Buyer shall deliver the same to the applicable lessors under the Ground Leases and request that the lessors complete and sign the Lessor Estoppels and return them to Seller within ten (10) days after each lessor’s receipt of the same or such time period required by the terms of the applicable Ground Lease. Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain an executed Lessor Estoppel from each lessor under a Ground Lease at least three (3) Business Days prior to Closing; provided, however, that in no event shall Seller be required to declare an event of default under a Ground Lease for a lessor’s failure to deliver a Lessor Estoppel or otherwise be required to institute legal proceedings against a lessor in connection therewith. In the event that Seller is unable to deliver to Buyer, at least three (3) Business Days prior to Closing, a Lessor Estoppel from a lessor under a Ground Lease, then Seller shall deliver an estoppel certificate executed by Seller (the “Seller Ground Lease Estoppel”), in the form of Exhibit F-4 attached hereto (with such modifications thereto as are necessary to conform it to the applicable provisions of the subject Ground Lease), or in the form or containing such information as is required by such Ground Lease (the “Pre-Approved Form Seller Ground Lease Estoppel”), for those Lessor Estoppels of the lessors which were not obtained. Seller’s failure to deliver a Lessor Estoppel (or a Seller Ground Lease Estoppel, as applicable) shall not constitute a default by Seller hereunder. Buyer shall have two (2) Business Days after receipt of each executed Lessor Estoppel and Seller Ground Lease Estoppel, as applicable, to review and approve such Lessor Estoppel and Seller Ground Lease Estoppel; provided, however, that Buyer shall be required to approve any Lessor Estoppel or Seller Ground Lease Estoppel substantially in the form of the Pre-Approved Form Lessor Estoppel or Pre-Approved Form Seller Ground

15


 

Lease Estoppel, as applicable (each such estoppel not substantially in such form being referred herein as an “Unacceptable Ground Lease Estoppel”). Seller shall be released from liability under a Seller Ground Lease Estoppel upon delivery to Buyer of a Lessor Estoppel from the corresponding lessor to the extent such Lessor Estoppel is substantially in the form of the Pre-Approved Form Lessor Estoppel.
     (c) In the event Seller fails to deliver the required number of Tenant Estoppels pursuant to Section 3.4(a) hereof or if the Allocated Purchase Price of all Properties to be conveyed on the Closing Date as to which there shall be Unacceptable Estoppels and Unacceptable Ground Lease Estoppels exceeds ten percent (10%) of the Purchase Price of the Properties to be conveyed on the Closing Date, then Buyer’s sole remedy shall be to either (i) waive the estoppel requirement and proceed to Closing without any abatement in the Purchase Price, or (ii) terminate this Agreement in its entirety and receive a return of the entire Deposit.
     (d) With regard to any Properties for which the Closing has been postponed beyond the initial Closing Date pursuant to Section 4.1, the same requirements concerning the delivery of estoppel certificates as are set forth in Section 3.4(a) and Section 3.4(b) shall be applicable to such Properties, provided that:
          (i) the delivery date for such estoppel certificates shall be the date which is three (3) Business Days prior to the Tranche 2 Closing Date (as defined in Section 4.1); and
          (ii) in calculating compliance with the requirements for delivery of at least 80% Tenant Estoppels and no more than 20% of Seller Estoppels or 10% Unacceptable Estoppels and Unacceptable Ground Lease Estoppels, such calculations shall be performed by taking into account all of the Properties (including those previously conveyed on the initial Closing Date) and all Tenant Estoppels, Seller Estoppels, Unacceptable Estoppels and Unacceptable Ground Lease Estoppels delivered in connection therewith.
In the event of a failure of the estoppel requirements described in this Section 3.4(d) to be satisfied, Buyer’s sole remedy shall be to either (x) waive such estoppel requirements and proceed with the Closing of the Tranche 2 Properties without any abatement in the Purchase Price, or (y) deem all (but not less than all) of the Tranche 2 Properties and the Tranche 3 Properties (as defined in Section 4.1) to be Deleted Properties (as defined in Section 4.10), in which case a Partial Termination (as defined in Section 4.10) shall be deemed to have occurred with respect to all of the Tranche 2 Properties and the Tranche 3 Properties, and the parties shall abide by the provisions of Section 4.10 with regard thereto.
     Section 3.5. Due Diligence; Right of Termination. Subject to the provisions of Section 3.7 hereof, if for any reason whatsoever, Buyer determines that any of the Properties or any aspect thereof is unsuitable for Buyer’s acquisition, Buyer shall have the right to terminate this Agreement with respect to all, but not less than all (except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement), of the Properties by giving written notice thereof to Seller prior to the expiration of the Contingency Period, and if Buyer gives such notice of termination within the Contingency Period, then this Agreement shall terminate in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.6 below. If, prior to the expiration of the Contingency Period, Buyer fails to give Seller written notice of Buyer’s election to proceed with the purchase of the Properties pursuant

16


 

to the terms of this Agreement, then Buyer shall be deemed to have terminated this Agreement and the provisions of Section 3.6 shall control; provided, however, Buyer’s approval (or deemed approval of title and survey matters shall at all times be governed by Article II hereof).
     Section 3.6. Rights Upon Termination. If this Agreement is terminated or deemed terminated by Buyer (other than in connection with a Partial Termination) in the manner and within the applicable time period(s) provided pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, or because of a failure of a condition precedent to the parties’ obligations hereunder as set forth in Section 4.7 and Section 4.8 below (other than the condition set forth in Section 4.8(c)), then (i) each party shall promptly execute and deliver to Title Company such documents as Title Company may reasonably require to evidence such termination, (ii) the Deposit plus all accrued interest thereon shall be returned to Buyer, (iii) all instruments in Escrow shall be returned to the party depositing the same, (iv) at the request of Seller, Buyer shall return or destroy all items previously delivered or made available by Seller to Buyer and/or copies of any reports, surveys or other studies or investigations prepared or received by Buyer relating to the Properties, (v) Buyer and Seller shall each pay one-half (1/2) of all Escrow and title cancellation charges, and (vi) neither party shall have any further rights, obligations or liabilities whatsoever to the other party concerning the Properties by reason of this Agreement, except for any indemnity obligations of either party pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement or otherwise expressly stated in this Agreement to survive termination. The provisions of this Section 3.6 shall survive the Closing or earlier termination of this Agreement, but shall not limit the rights of (x) any party under Section 6.1 and Section 6.2 in the event of a default under this Agreement by the other party, or (y) Seller under Section 1.6 in the event of the failure of the condition in Section 4.8(c) to be satisfied.
     Section 3.7. Shiloh Facility and HS Properties.
     (a) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary herein, from the date hereof up to the Closing Date, Buyer shall have the right to continue to review and evaluate the Property leased to River West, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “Shiloh Tenant”), and the Shiloh Tenant’s ability to perform its obligations under the Lease relating to that certain facility located in Plaquemine, Louisiana and commonly referred to as the “River West Medical Center” (the “Shiloh Facility”), in each case in accordance with the terms and provisions of Article III. Seller shall cooperate with Buyer in such evaluation process, including, without limitation, continuing to comply with the provisions of Article III with respect thereto. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, if for any reason whatsoever Buyer determines at any time prior to Closing that the Property constituting or relating to the Shiloh Facility is unsuitable for Buyer’s acquisition, then Buyer shall have the right to designate such Property as a Deleted Property (as defined in Section 4.10 hereof) and to effect a Partial Termination (as defined in Section 4.10 hereof) with respect to such Property, and, in such event, the parties shall treat such Property in accordance with Section 4.10 hereof.
     (b) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary herein, from the date hereof up to 5:00 p.m. Los Angeles, California time on March 28, 2008, Buyer shall have the right to continue to review and evaluate the Properties located in the States of Florida, Virginia, Arkansas and Kansas (the “HS Properties”), in each case in accordance with the terms and provisions of Article II and Article III, and Seller shall cooperate with Buyer in such evaluation

17


 

process, including, without limitation, continuing to comply with the provisions of Article II and Article III with respect thereto. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary herein, if for any reason whatsoever Buyer determines at any time prior to 5:00 p.m. Los Angeles, California time on March 28, 2008 that any of the HS Properties are unsuitable for Buyer’s acquisition, then Buyer shall have the right to designate all (but not less than all) of such HS Properties as Deleted Properties (as defined in Section 4.10) and to effect a Partial Termination (as defined in Section 4.10) with respect to all (but not less than all) of such HS Properties, and, in such event, the parties shall treat such HS Properties in accordance with Section 4.10.
ARTICLE IV
CLOSING
     Section 4.1. Time and Place.
     (a) Subject to any rights of Seller to extend the Closing Date as hereinafter provided, the consummation of the transaction contemplated hereby (“Closing”) shall occur on March 28, 2008 (the “Closing Date”). The term “Closing” is used in this Agreement to mean the time and date the transactions hereby are closed with respect to the Properties (or, to the extent applicable, the Tranche 2 Properties and the Tranche 3 Properties) and the Title Policies are issued (or the Title Company has provided its written commitment to issue such Title Policies), regardless of whether the Deeds are actually recorded in the land records in which the Properties are situated; provided, however, that in the event that (i) a Pre-Emptive Right Holder has not exercised or waived its Pre-Emptive Rights prior to the Closing Date, or (ii) the parties from which consent is required (the “Consent Parties”) pursuant to Section 4.8(f), Section 11.5(c) and Section 12.5(c) have not provided such consent (the “Consent Requirements”), then the Closing with regard to the Property or Properties to which such Pre-Emptive Rights and/or Consent Requirements, as applicable, pertain shall be postponed in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.1(b) and Section 4.1(c) below.
     (b) With regard to any Property or Properties for which the Closing has been postponed beyond the initial Closing Date of March 28, 2008 pursuant to Section 4.1(a), if, as applicable (i) the Pre-Emptive Right Holder has waived, or is deemed to have waived, its Pre-Emptive Right and/or (ii) the Consent Parties have provided the required consent, in each case on or before April 18, 2008, then the Closing for such Properties (collectively, the “Tranche 2 Properties”) shall occur on April 22, 2008 (the “Tranche 2 Closing Date”). Upon the Closing of the Tranche 2 Properties, Buyer shall be deemed to have waived all closing contingencies with respect to the remaining Properties and Buyer shall in no event be entitled to terminate this Agreement with regard to such Properties or to receive a return of the Deposit, except in connection with any of the following: (a) the occurrence of a material default by Seller pursuant to Section 6.2; (b) the occurrence of a casualty or condemnation event giving rise to Buyer’s right to terminate this Agreement in accordance with Article VII; or (c) the failure of any of the conditions set forth in Section 4.7(h), Section 4.7(i) or Section 4.7(j) to be satisfied.
     (c) With regard to any Properties for which the Closing has been postponed beyond the Tranche 2 Closing Date pursuant to Section 4.1(a), if, as applicable, the conditions set forth in clauses (i) and/or (ii) of Section 4.1(b) above shall occur on or before May 15, 2008, then the

18


 

Closing for such Properties (the “Tranche 3 Properties”) shall occur on May 15, 2008 or such other date that is mutually acceptable to the parties (the “Tranche 3 Closing Date”). Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary herein, in the event the Closing for any Property is postponed beyond the initial Closing Date of March 28, 2008, then the Deposit shall only be credited against the Purchase Price with respect to the Closing of the final Property under this Agreement.
     (d) Closing shall be consummated through the Escrow administered by Title Company. At Closing, Seller and Buyer shall perform the obligations set forth in, respectively, Section 4.2 and Section 4.3 hereof, the performance of which obligations shall be covenants to the parties to perform and shall be concurrent conditions.
     Section 4.2. Seller’s Obligations at Closing. At, or prior to Closing, Seller shall:
     (a) with respect to each Real Property other than the Ground Lease Properties, deliver or cause to be delivered to Buyer through Escrow a duly executed and acknowledged special warranty deed or limited warranty deed (or their equivalent in applicable jurisdictions) in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit G-l, but with such changes thereto as are required by any applicable laws in the jurisdiction where such Real Property is located (the “Deeds”);
     (b) with respect to each Ground Lease Property, assign or cause to be assigned to Buyer, and Buyer shall assume, Seller’s interest under the Ground Lease, by a duly executed assignment and assumption of the ground lease in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit G-2 delivered through Escrow, but with such changes thereto as are required by any applicable laws in the jurisdiction where such Ground Lease Property is located or to conform such form to apply to the leasehold or sub-subleasehold interest being assigned thereby (the “Assignment of Ground Lease”);
     (c) with respect to each Property, deliver or cause to be delivered to Buyer through Escrow a duly executed bill of sale in the form attached hereto as Exhibit H (the “Bill of Sale”) conveying to Buyer without warranty (except for such warranties as are specifically set forth in Section 5.1 of this Agreement, subject in each case to the limitations on liability and survival set forth in Section 5.2 hereof) all right, title and interest of Seller in and to the Personal Property;
     (d) with respect to each Property, assign or cause to be assigned to Buyer without warranty (except for such warranties as are specifically set forth in Section 5.1 of this Agreement, subject in each case to the limitations on liability and survival set forth in Section 5.2 hereof), and Buyer shall assume, Seller’s interest in and to the Leases, Subleases, if any, Rents, and Security Deposits by a duly executed assignment and assumption agreement (the “Assignment of Leases”) in the form attached hereto as Exhibit I delivered through Escrow;
     (e) with respect to each Property, execute notices in the form attached hereto as Exhibit J (the “Tenant Notices”), which Buyer shall send to each tenant under each of the Leases promptly after the Closing, informing such tenant of the sale of such Property and of the assignment to Buyer of Seller’s interest in, and obligations under, the Leases (including, if

19


 

applicable, any Security Deposits), and directing that all Rent and other sums payable after the Closing under such Lease be paid as set forth in the notice;
     (f) with respect to each Property, to the extent assignable without charge or consent, assign or cause to be assigned to Buyer without warranty (except for such warranties as are specifically set forth in Section 5.1 of this Agreement, subject in each case to the limitations on liability and survival set forth in Section 5.2 hereof), and Buyer shall assume, Seller’s interest in and to the Security Documents, the Acquisition Documents and the Intercreditor Documents by a duly executed assignment and assumption agreement (the “Assignment of Ancillary Documents”) in the form attached hereto as Exhibit K delivered through Escrow;
     (g) if prior to Closing Seller becomes aware of any fact or circumstance which makes any representation or warranty of Seller in this Agreement untrue, then (i) Seller shall promptly disclose such fact in writing to Buyer, and (ii) at Closing, Seller shall deliver to Buyer a duly executed original certificate of Seller (“Seller’s Closing Certificate”), dated as of the Closing Date and executed on behalf of Seller by a duly authorized officer thereof, updating the representations and warranties contained in Section 5.1, Section 11.3 and Section 12.3 below to the Closing Date and identifying any representation or warranty which is not, or no longer is, true and correct and explaining the state of facts giving rise to the change. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall Seller be liable to Buyer for, or be deemed to be in default under this Agreement by reason of, any such change to a representation or warranty (or the fact any such representation or warranty was incorrect prior to such change). The occurrence of a change in a representation and warranty shall, if materially adverse to Buyer and if not cured by Seller prior to Closing, constitute the non-fulfillment of the condition set forth in Section 4.7(b) hereof. If, despite changes or other matters described in Seller’s Closing Certificate, the Closing occurs, Seller’s representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement shall be deemed to have been modified by all statements made in such certificate;
     (h) deliver to Title Company such evidence as the Title Company may reasonably require as to the authority of the person or persons executing documents on behalf of Seller;
     (i) deliver to Buyer through Escrow a certificate in the form attached hereto as Exhibit L duly executed by Seller, stating that Seller is not a “foreign person”, a “foreign corporation”, a “foreign partnership”, a “foreign trust”, a “foreign estate”, or a “disregarded entity” as defined in the Federal Foreign Investment in Real Property Tax Act of 1980 and the 1984 Tax Reform Act, along with any applicable State or local law equivalent;
     (j) deliver to Buyer outside of Escrow or at the Properties the Leases together with all leasing and property files and records which are material in connection with the continued operation, leasing and maintenance of the Properties, but excluding any Confidential Documents. Prior to the Closing, Seller may, at its sole cost, make a copy of all files, records and documents which Seller has delivered to Buyer. In addition, for a period of three (3) years after the Closing, Buyer shall allow Seller and its representatives access without charge to all files, records and documents delivered to Buyer at or in connection with the Closing, upon reasonable advance notice and at reasonable times, to make copies of any and all such files, records and documents, which right shall survive the Closing;

20


 

     (k) deliver to Buyer possession and occupancy of the Properties, subject to the Permitted Exceptions
     (1) execute and deliver a closing statement mutually acceptable to Seller and Buyer through Escrow;
     (m) perform and satisfy all agreements and covenants required hereby to be performed by Seller prior to or at the Closing; and
     (n) deliver such additional documents as shall be reasonably required to consummate the transaction contemplated by this Agreement.
     Section 4.3. Buyer’s Obligations at Closing. At, or prior to Closing, Buyer shall:
     (a) pay to Seller through Escrow the full amount of the Purchase Price (due credit shall be given for the Deposit as provided herein), as increased or decreased by prorations and adjustments as herein provided and as adjusted as a result of any Partial Termination of this Agreement in accordance with the terms herein provided in immediately available wire transferred funds pursuant to Section 1.5 hereof;
     (b) join Seller in execution and delivery through Escrow of the Assignment of Leases, Assignment of Ground Lease and the Assignment of Ancillary Documents;
     (c) if prior to Closing Buyer becomes aware of any fact or circumstance which makes any representation or warranty of Buyer in this Agreement untrue, then (i) Buyer shall promptly disclose such fact in writing to Seller, and (ii) at Closing, Buyer shall deliver to Seller a duly executed original certificate of Buyer (“Buyer’s Closing Certificate”), dated as of the Closing Date and executed on behalf of Buyer by a duly authorized officer thereof, updating the representations and warranties contained in Section 5.3, Section 11.4 and Section 12.4 below to the Closing Date and identifying any representation or warranty which is not, or no longer is, true and correct and explaining the state of facts giving rise to the change. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall Buyer be liable to Seller for, or be deemed to be in default hereunder by reason of, any such change to a representation or warranty (or the fact any such representation or warranty was incorrect prior to such change); provided, however, that the occurrence of a change in a representation or warranty shall, if materially adverse to Seller and if not cured by Buyer prior to Closing, constitute the non-fulfillment of the conditions set forth in Section 4.8(c) hereof, and entitle Seller to (among other things) execute its right under Section 1.6(b). If, despite changes or other matters described in Buyer’s Closing Certificate, the Closing occurs, Buyer’s representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement shall be deemed to have been modified by all statements made in such certificate;
     (d) deliver to Title Company such evidence as the Title Company may reasonably require as to the authority of the person or persons executing documents on behalf of Buyer;
     (e) execute and deliver a closing statement mutually acceptable to Seller and Buyer through Escrow;

     (g) execute and deliver to Seller a release of claims (the “Release”) in the form attached hereto as Exhibit N;
     (h) execute and deliver a legally binding addendum to each LP Agreement (as such term is defined in Section 12.1 hereof) in accordance with Section 10.8(a) thereof; and

     (b) Cause the Deeds and any other recordable instruments which the parties so direct to be recorded in the Official Records of the Recorder of the County in which the Properties are located. If permitted by applicable law, Title Company is hereby instructed not to affix the amount of the documentary transfer tax on the face of the Deeds, but to pay on the basis of a separate affidavit of Seller not made a part of the public record;
     (c) Cause each non-recorded document to be delivered to the party acquiring rights thereunder, or for whose benefit such document was obtained;
     (d) Deliver to Buyer the Title Policies; and
     (e) Deliver to Seller the Purchase Price and such other funds, if any, as may be due to Seller by reason of credits under this Agreement, less all items chargeable to Seller under this Agreement.
     Section 4.5. Credits and Prorations.
     (a) All Rent and other income and expenses, if any (pursuant to the express terms of any of the Leases and the Ground Leases), of the Properties shall be apportioned as of 12:01 a.m. on the day of Closing as if Buyer were vested with title to the Properties during the entire day upon which Closing occurs. Such prorations, if and to the extent known and agreed upon as of the Closing, shall be paid by Buyer to Seller (if the prorations result in a net credit to Seller) or by Seller to Buyer (if the prorations result in a net credit to Buyer) by increasing or reducing the cash to be paid by Buyer at the Closing. Any such prorations not determined or not agreed upon as of the Closing shall be paid by Buyer to Seller, or by Seller to Buyer, as the case may be, in cash as soon as practicable following the Closing.
     (b) Notwithstanding anything contained in Section 4.5(a) hereof:

22


 

          (i) Seller shall be entitled to a credit equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the amount of all accounts receivable existing as of the Closing Date. A post-Closing true-up shall be performed ninety (90) days after the Closing Date, at which time Seller shall pay to Buyer an amount equal to any accounts receivable for which Seller received such a credit at Closing and which were not received by Buyer from the applicable tenant(s) prior to such true-up. If, subsequent to any such true-up, Buyer or Seller receives any funds from the tenant(s) from which such accounts receivable were due, then such funds shall be disbursed (i) first to Seller up to the amount of any such true-up payment previously made, and (ii) the remainder to Buyer. Subject to its rights under the preceding sentence to retain funds in repayment of any such true-up payment, Seller shall promptly deliver to Buyer any payments of Rent which Seller may receive subsequent to the Closing;
          (ii) At Closing, Seller shall, at Seller’s option, either (A) deliver to Buyer any Security Deposits actually held by Seller pursuant to the Leases (to the extent such Security Deposits have not been applied against delinquent Rents), or (B) credit to the account of Buyer the amount of such Security Deposits held by Seller pursuant to the Leases (to the extent such Security Deposits have not been applied against delinquent Rents);
          (iii) Charges referred to in Section 4.5(a) hereof which are payable by any tenant directly to a third party shall not be apportioned hereunder, and Buyer shall accept title subject to any of such charges unpaid and Buyer shall look solely to the tenant responsible therefor for the payment of such charges. If Seller shall have paid any of such charges on behalf of any tenant, and shall not have been reimbursed therefor by the time of Closing, Buyer shall credit to Seller an amount equal to all such charges so paid by Seller; and
          (iv) Seller shall receive a credit equal to the amount of any rent or other expense that has been paid by Seller pursuant to the Ground Leases prior to Closing and which pertains to any period after Closing.
     (c) Any additional rent or other expenses due under the Leases or the Ground Leases (collectively, the “Additional Rents”) shall be prorated on the Closing Date between Buyer and Seller based on the best estimate of Buyer and Seller (and taking into account the prior year adjustments). Within three (3) Business Days prior to Closing, Seller shall deliver to Buyer for its review and approval a statement setting forth its estimate of the proration of such Additional Rents. Buyer and Seller shall complete a final proration of Additional Rents within ninety (90) days after Closing. Prior to Closing, Seller shall provide Buyer with information regarding Additional Rents which were received by Seller prior to closing and the amount of reimbursable expenses paid by Seller prior to closing. On or before the date which is sixty (60) days after Closing, Buyer shall deliver to Seller a reconciliation of all expenses reimbursable by tenants under the Leases, and the amount of Additional Rents received by Seller and Buyer relating thereto (the “Reconciliation”). Upon reasonable notice and during normal business hours, each party shall make available to the other all information reasonably required to confirm the Reconciliation. In the event of any overpayment of Additional Rents by the tenants to Seller, Seller shall promptly, but in no event later than fifteen (15) days after receipt of the Reconciliation, pay to Buyer the amount of such overpayment and Buyer, as the landlord under the particular Leases, shall pay or credit to each applicable tenant the amount of such overpayment. In the event of an underpayment of Additional Rents by the tenants to Seller,

23


 

Buyer shall pay to Seller the amount of such underpayment within fifteen (15) days following Buyer’s receipt of any such amounts from the tenants. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Seller shall deliver to Buyer or credit against the Purchase Price at Closing any amounts collected by Seller on account of Additional Rents from tenants, which based upon Seller’s estimates, exceeds the actual Additional Rent owing from such tenants through the Closing (i.e., amounts collected from such tenants on account of Additional Rent in excess of such tenants’ actual year-to-date share of expenses for which the same have been collected).
     (d) Except as otherwise provided herein, any revenue or expense amount which cannot be ascertained with certainty as of Closing shall be prorated on the basis of the parties’ reasonable estimates of such amount, and shall be the subject of a final proration sixty (60) days after Closing, or as soon thereafter as the precise amounts can be ascertained. Buyer shall promptly notify Seller when it becomes aware that any such estimated amount has been ascertained. Once all revenue and expense amounts have been ascertained, Buyer shall prepare, and certify as correct, a final proration statement which shall be subject to Seller’s approval. Upon Seller’s acceptance and approval of any final proration statement submitted by Buyer, such statement shall be conclusively deemed to be accurate and final. Any such revenue or expense amount shall be paid by Buyer to Seller, or Seller to Buyer, as the case may be, in cash as soon as practicable following Closing.
     (e) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary herein or in any other document delivered in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, Buyer and Seller hereby agree that in no event shall Seller have any liability or responsibility for any reimbursement or other obligations related to any improvements pertaining to the Properties, whether constructed prior to or after the Closing, and whether arising under the Leases or otherwise. Upon the Closing, Buyer shall accept the Properties subject to any reimbursement or other obligations or responsibilities that may now or hereafter exist with regard to any improvements relating to the Properties.
     (f) The provisions of this Section 4.5 shall survive Closing.
     Section 4.6. Transaction Taxes and Closing Costs.
     (a) Seller and Buyer shall execute such returns, questionnaires and other documents as shall be required with regard to all applicable real property transaction taxes imposed by applicable federal, state or local law or ordinance.
     (b) Seller shall pay the fees of any counsel representing Seller in connection with this transaction. Seller shall also pay the following costs and expenses:
          (i) one-half (1/2) of the escrow fee, if any, which is charged by the Title Company;
          (ii) the premium for the ALTA Standard Coverage Owner’s Policies of Title Insurance and ALTA Standard Coverage Leasehold Policy of Title Insurance (or their equivalent in applicable jurisdictions), as applicable, relating to the Properties to be issued to Buyer by the Title Company at Closing (provided that in no event shall Seller be required to pay more than

24


 

$423,503 for the foregoing, as such amount may be reduced to account for any Properties which become Deleted Properties or for which a Closing otherwise does not occur) (the “Base Policy Premium”);
          (iii) the fees for recording the Deeds and any additional recording fees incurred in connection with the satisfaction of Seller’s obligations hereunder (if any); and
          (iv) such portion, if any, of any documentary transfer tax or similar tax (including, without limitation, City, County and State documentary transfer taxes, as applicable) which becomes payable by reason of the transfer of the Properties (collectively, “Transfer Taxes”), and which is customarily paid by sellers in comparable transactions in the jurisdiction in which each component of the Property is located.
          (c) Buyer shall pay the fees of any counsel representing Buyer in connection with this
transaction. Buyer shall also pay the following costs and expenses:
          (i) one-half (1/2) of the escrow fee, if any, which is charged by the Title Company;
          (ii) any recording fees incurred in connection with the satisfaction of Buyer’s obligations hereunder (if any);
          (iii) the premium for the Owner’s Policies of Title Insurance and Leasehold Policy of Title Insurance to be issued to Buyer by the Title Company at Closing, and the entire cost of all endorsements thereto, but only to the extent that those costs exceed the cost of the Base Policy Premium which Seller is required to pay pursuant to Section 4.6(b)(ii);
          (iv) the cost of any New Surveys and Buyer’s own due diligence expenses; and
          (v) such portion, if any, of the Transfer Taxes as is customarily paid by buyers in comparable transactions in the jurisdiction in which each component of the Property is located.
     (d) The Personal Property is included in this sale without charge and without any allocation of Purchase Price thereto, however, Buyer shall be responsible for the amount of any and all sales or similar taxes payable in connection with the transfer of the Personal Property.
     (e) All costs and expenses incident to this transaction and the Closing thereof, and not specifically described above shall be paid by the party incurring same.
     (f) The provisions of this Section 4.6 shall survive the Closing.
     Section 4.7. Conditions Precedent to Obligation of Buyer. The obligation of Buyer to consummate the transaction contemplated hereunder shall be subject to the fulfillment on or before the date of Closing of all of the conditions set forth in this Section 4.7, any or all of which may be waived by Buyer in its sole and absolute discretion. In the event Buyer terminates this Agreement, which termination shall apply to all, but not less than all, of the Properties, due to the

Seller shall furnish Buyer with a written notice of any of the foregoing proposed actions which shall contain detailed information regarding the proposed action, reasonably necessary to enable Buyer to make informed decisions with respect to the advisability of the proposed action. If Buyer fails to object in writing to any such proposed action within five (5) Business Days after receipt of the aforementioned information, Buyer shall be deemed to have approved the proposed action (with the understanding that Buyer’s reasonable request for additional information shall not be deemed to constitute Buyer’s failure to object or respond within such five (5) Business Day period).

Buyer shall, to the extent provided below, cooperate with Seller’s request to allow Seller to attempt to qualify for the 1031 Exchange, including, without limitation: (i) executing and delivering amendments to this Agreement and/or amendments to and restatements of this Agreement so that the transactions contemplated hereby are incorporated into one or more cross-contingent agreements; (ii) executing and delivering one or more assignments of this Agreement or any of the agreements described in the preceding clause (i) from Buyer to an affiliate of Buyer or by any Seller to an affiliate of Seller or to a qualified exchange accommodator of Seller or such affiliate; and (iii) executing and delivering such other documents; provided, however, in each case that Buyer’s obligation to cooperate with Seller shall be limited and conditioned as follows: (w) Buyer shall receive written notice from Seller prior to the scheduled Closing Date, which shall identify the parties involved in such 1031 Exchange and enclose all documents for which Buyer’s signature shall be required, (x) in no event shall Buyer be required to execute any document or instrument which may (A) subject Buyer to any additional liability or obligation to Seller or any other individual, entity or governmental agency, or (B) diminish or impair Buyer’s rights under this Agreement, (y) Seller shall not be relieved of any of its obligations under this Agreement by reason of the 1031 Exchange, and (z) Buyer shall not be required to incur any material costs or expenses in connection with the 1031 Exchange. Seller’s failure to effectuate any intended 1031 Exchange shall not relieve Seller from its obligations to consummate the purchase and sale transaction contemplated by this Agreement and the consummation of such 1031 Exchange shall not be a condition precedent to Seller’s obligations under this Agreement.
     (b) Representations and Warranties. Buyer shall not take any action that would cause any of the representation or warranties of Buyer contained herein (with appropriate modifications permitted under this Agreement) to become inaccurate in any material respect or any of the covenants of Buyer to be breached in any material respect.

     (b) AS A MATERIAL CONSIDERATION FOR SELLER ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT, BUYER EXPRESSLY WAIVES FOR ANY DEFAULT BY SELLER (A) ANY RIGHT UNDER ANY STATE OR FEDERAL STATUTE, OR AT COMMON LAW OR OTHERWISE TO RECORD OR FILE A LIS PENDENS OR A NOTICE OF PENDENCY OF ACTION OR SIMILAR NOTICE AGAINST ALL OR ANY PORTION OF THE PROPERTIES, (B) ANY RIGHT TO SEEK DAMAGES IN THE EVENT OF SELLER’S DEFAULT HEREUNDER, AND (C) ITS RIGHT TO BRING ANY ACTION THAT WOULD IN ANY WAY AFFECT TITLE TO OR RIGHT OF POSSESSION OF ALL OR ANY PORTION OF THE PROPERTIES.
