9. Prorations and Charges.
(a) There shall be no proration at Closing or at any time thereafter of real estate taxes, personal property taxes or assessments pertaining to the Property; provided, however, in the event all or any portion of such real estate taxes, personal property taxes and/or assessments are not pass-through charges under the Leases or are not fully payable by the tenants under such Leases, then such portion of real estate taxes, personal property taxes and/or assessments shall be prorated at Closing (e.g., the Property is not 100% leased and therefore, Seller and/or the Company is obligated to pay a portion of such taxes).
13
(b) All rents and pass-through charges collected to date under the Leases shall be prorated through the day before Closing. In the event any such rents and pass-through charges are not paid current as of the Closing, from and after Closing, all such rents and pass-through charges received from and after Closing shall be allocated first to rents and pass-through charges currently due and payable and then to past due rents and pass-through charges, with the party receiving any such rents, promptly paying over the same to the party to whom due. Seller shall retain the right to seek payment of past due rents and pass-through charges under Leases after Closing, but Seller shall have no right to seek lease terminations or evictions. In the event there are any expenses attributable to the Seller, the Company and/or the Property that are not pass-through charges under the Leases or any such expenses that are not fully payable by the tenants under such Leases, then such expenses shall be prorated at Closing.
(c) To the extent any utility charges, including, but not limited to, sewer, water, electricity, gas, telephone and other private and municipal charges in the nature of utilities (collectively, Utility Charges) are not paid directly by tenants of the Property, Seller shall be responsible for obtaining all necessary billing information for the Utility Charges in order to accurately reflect the same on the Closing Statement.

The obligations set forth in this Section 9(g) shall survive Closing until December 31, 2014.
As applicable, all of the foregoing items set forth in this Section 9, unless otherwise expressly stated, shall be prorated between the parties as of midnight of the day before Closing.
10. Condemnation; Rezoning, Historic Designation. Seller represents and warrants that neither Seller nor the Company has heretofore received any notice of any eminent domain or
14
condemnation proceeding in connection with the Property. If prior to Closing any such eminent domain or condemnation proceeding is commenced or any change is made, or proposed to be made to: (i) any material portion or all of the Property; (ii) the current means of ingress and egress to the Property; or (iii) to the roads or driveways adjoining the Property, Seller agrees immediately to notify Buyer in writing thereof. Buyer then shall have the right, at Buyers option, to terminate this Agreement by giving written notice to Seller prior to Closing. If Buyer elects to terminate this Agreement pursuant to the terms set forth in this Section 10, the Deposit shall be immediately returned to Buyer together with all accrued interest, Buyer and Seller shall be released from any further liability hereunder and this Agreement shall be null and void, except as otherwise provided herein. If Buyer does not so terminate this Agreement, Buyer shall proceed to Closing hereunder as if no such proceeding had commenced and will pay Seller the full Purchase Price in accordance with this Agreement, and Seller shall assign to Buyer all of its right, title and interest in and to any compensation for such condemnation. Seller shall not negotiate or settle any claims for compensation prior to Closing or termination of this Agreement, and Buyer shall have the sole right (in the name of Buyer, Seller, the Company, or any combination thereof) to negotiate for, to agree to, and to contest all offers and awards so long as Buyer has not terminated this Agreement.
If, prior to closing, there is a designation of the Real Property (and/or any improvement located thereon) or any portion thereof as a historic structure or other historic designation, or is threatened, commenced or finalized, or there is a threatened, commenced or finalized rezoning of the Real Property, Seller shall promptly notify Buyer, and Buyer may elect to terminate this Agreement prior to Closing, in which event the Deposit and all accrued interest thereon shall be returned forthwith to Buyer, Buyer and Seller shall be released from any further liability hereunder and this Agreement shall be null and void, except as otherwise provided herein. If Buyer does not elect to terminate this Agreement, this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and at Closing Seller shall assign to Buyer all Sellers right, title and interest in and to any dollars paid by the governmental authority (if any) in connection with the rezoning of the Real Property or historic designation.
11. Default by Buyer. If Buyer, without the right to do so and in default of its obligations hereunder, fails to complete Closing, the Deposit and all accrued interest shall be paid to Seller. Such payment of the Deposit and all accrued interest to Seller shall be deemed to be liquidated damages for Buyers default and the receipt of same shall be Sellers exclusive and sole remedy; and Seller hereby waives any right to recover the balance of the Purchase Price, or any part thereof, and the right to pursue any other remedy permitted at law or in equity against Buyer. The parties agree that it would be impracticable and extremely difficult to ascertain the actual damages suffered by Seller as a result of Buyers failure to complete the transactions contemplated pursuant to this Agreement, and that under the circumstances existing as of the date of this Agreement, the liquidated damages provided for in this Section represent a reasonable estimate of the damages which Seller will incur as a result of such failure. The parties acknowledge that the payment of such liquidated damages is not intended as a forfeiture or penalty under any legal or equitable theory, but is intended to constitute liquidated damages to Seller. The provisions of this Section 11 are not intended to, and in no way limit, Buyers indemnification obligations under this Agreement.
12. Default by Seller. If Seller defaults in the performance of any obligation
15
contained in this Agreement or, without the right to do so and in default of its obligations hereunder, fails to complete Closing, Buyer shall have the right to terminate this Agreement, in which case, the Deposit and all accrued interest shall be returned to Buyer and Seller shall reimburse Buyer for all of Buyers reasonable costs incurred in connection with the transaction contemplated by this Agreement, up to a maximum amount of $75,000 in the aggregate. Alternatively, Buyer may elect not to terminate this Agreement and seek specific performance of this Agreement. Buyer must elect one of the two alternate remedies set forth above. Seller waives the right to assert the defense of lack of mutuality in any action for specific performance instituted by Buyer. The provisions of this Section 12 are not intended to, and in no way limit, Sellers indemnification obligations under this Agreement.
13. Risk of Loss. Seller shall bear the risk of all loss or damage to the Property from all causes until Closing. Seller represents that the Company has, and will maintain pending Closing, a policy of fire and extended coverage insurance in at least the full amount of the replacement cost of all buildings and improvements located on the Property. If at any time prior to Closing any material portion of the Property is destroyed or damaged as a result of fire or any other casualty whatsoever, and as a consequence of such material damage or destruction, any tenant of the Property has the right to terminate its Lease, Seller shall promptly give written notice thereof to Buyer and Buyer shall have the right: (i) to terminate this Agreement by written notice to Seller, whereupon Escrow Agent shall return the Deposit (with any accrued interest) to Buyer, and thereafter this Agreement shall be void and neither party shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder except as otherwise provided herein; or (ii) to proceed with this Agreement and to notify Seller that, at Buyers sole option, Seller either shall: (A) use any available insurance proceeds to restore the Property prior to Closing to its condition as of the Effective Date, and if there are any excess insurance proceeds after completion of such restoration(excluding any loss or rents or business interruption insurance proceeds payable to Seller for periods prior to Closing, being collectively referred to herein as Seller Loss of Rents Coverage), Seller shall promptly deposit same in escrow with Escrow Agent and such funds, together with any interest thereon, shall be disbursed to Buyer at Closing; or (B) in lieu of restoration, prior to Closing, clear the site of debris and deposit all remaining insurance proceeds except Seller Loss of Rents Coverage in escrow with Escrow Agent and such funds, together with interest thereon, shall be disbursed to Buyer at Closing. All unpaid claims and rights in connection with any such losses except Sellers Loss of Rents Coverage shall be assigned to Buyer at Closing without in any manner affecting the Purchase Price. In the event Buyer elects to proceed under clause (ii)(A) or (ii)(B) above, Seller shall either expend the deductible amount provided for in such insurance coverage in making such restoration or clearing the Property, as the case may be, or give Buyer a credit therefore against the Purchase Price.
14. Brokerage. Buyer represents and warrants to Seller, and Seller represents and warrants to Buyer, that, except for RealPlex LLC, the broker representing Seller in this transaction (Seller Broker), neither has dealt with any broker, agent, finder or other intermediary in connection with the transactions contemplated pursuant to this Agreement. Buyer agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Seller harmless from and against the claims of any and all brokers or intermediaries claiming a commission through Buyer in connection with the transactions contemplated pursuant to this Agreement, and Seller agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Buyer harmless from and against the claims of any and all brokers or intermediaries claiming a commission through Seller in connection with the transactions contemplated pursuant
16
to this Agreement, including Seller Broker.
15. Operation of the Property Prior to and After Closing.
(a) Prior to closing, Seller shall cause the Company to operate, manage and maintain the Property in a reasonable, professional and prudent manner, and keep the same in good condition at all times. Without expense to Buyer, Seller shall cause the Company to make all repairs and replacements (structural and non-structural, ordinary and extraordinary) so that the Property is maintained in its present condition, reasonable wear and tear excepted. From and after Closing, Buyer shall continue in full force and effect all Contract Rights in accordance with their current terms as of the Effective Date, except that the Property Management Agreement with Hplex Solutions attached hereto as Exhibit J, shall be executed and delivered by Buyer and Hplex Solutions for a term of five (5) years..
(b) Prior to closing, upon reasonable notice to Seller and subject to the rights of tenants under Leases, Buyer, its accountants, architects, attorneys, engineers, contractors and other representatives shall be afforded access to: (i) the Property to inspect, measure, appraise, test and make surveys of the Property, including, but not limited to, all activities necessary to satisfy the contingencies set forth in this Section 15 and elsewhere in this Agreement; and (ii) all books, records and files relating to the Property. Buyer shall have the right, at Buyers expense, to make copies of all such books and records, including, without limitation, all books and records relating to increases in real estate taxes, building and operations maintenance costs; provided, however, that Buyer shall return all copies of such books and records if Closing does not occur under this Agreement. Buyer shall not interfere unreasonably with the operation of the Property and shall restore any area on the Property disturbed in the course of Buyers testing to the conditions existing prior to any tests conducted by Buyer. Buyer agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Seller and its members, officers, agents, managers, employees, and tenants, (collectively, Seller Parties) from and against, and to reimburse Seller Parties with respect to any and all claims, demands, causes of action, losses, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses (including attorneys fees and court costs) asserted against or incurred by Seller Parties by reason of or arising out access to the Property by Buyer, its agents, representatives, contractors and subcontractors for the purpose of making such investigations, inspections, tests, assessments, surveys and the like in accordance with this Agreement. The indemnity contained in this Section 15(b) shall survive any termination of this Agreement, any statement contained herein that this Agreement is void and of no further force or effect, and the Closing. In furtherance of such indemnity, connection with any access to the Property by Buyer, its agents, representatives, contractors and subcontractors, Buyer certifies to Seller that it will maintain liability insurance coverage in an amount not less than $5,000,000.
(c) Seller shall cause the Company to comply with all of the obligations of landlord under the Leases and all other agreements and contractual arrangements affecting the Property by which the Company is bound.
(d) Seller shall promptly notify Buyer of Sellers or the Companys receipt of any notice from any party alleging that the Company is in default of its obligations under any of the Leases or any permit or agreement affecting the Property, or any portion or portions thereof.

Any new lease shall be on a form of lease supplied to Seller by Buyer. In the event Buyer approves any new leases, Seller shall deliver to Buyer an Estoppel Certificate from the tenant(s) and guarantor(s) thereunder as required hereunder for the Leases and otherwise shall comply, as to such new leases and new guarantees, with the terms of this Agreement relating to the Leases and the Guarantees. Further, except with the prior written consent of Buyer, the Company shall not amend, extend, terminate, accept surrender of, or permit any assignments or subleases of, any of the Leases nor accept any rental more than one (1) month in advance or accelerate the rent due to any tenant default under any of the Leases.
(g) From the Effective Date until Closing, Seller shall cause the Company to maintain the Contract Rights, Records and Plans, Warranties, and Licenses and Permits in full force and effect as applicable and shall not terminate, modify or waive any provision thereof.
