THEREFORE, in consideration of the above Recitals, the mutual covenants and agreements herein set forth and the benefits to be derived therefrom, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Purchaser and Seller agree as follows:

All of the foregoing expressly excludes all property owned by tenants or other users or occupants of the Property.
2.    PURCHASE PRICE. The total consideration to be paid by Purchaser to Seller for the Property is SIXTY MILLION TWO HUNDRED FIFTY THOUSAND AND NO/100THS DOLLARS ($60,250,000.00) (the “Purchase Price”). The Purchase Price shall be paid as follows:
2.1    Earnest Money.
2.1.1    Seller, Purchaser and a duly authorized representative of the Chicago Office of Chicago Title Insurance Company (“Escrowee”) shall concurrently herewith execute Earnest Money Escrow Instructions, in the forms attached hereto as Exhibit D-1 and D-2, and Purchaser shall, within three (3) business days following the Effective Date, deliver to Escrowee initial earnest money (the “Initial Earnest Money”) in the sum of Five Hundred Thousand and No/100ths Dollars ($500,000.00). From and after the Effective Date, the Initial Earnest Money shall be deemed to belong to Seller and, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, shall not be refunded to Purchaser in any event or circumstance except in the event of: (i) a Seller default described in Section 7.1 below; (ii) objections to title and survey matters that materially and adversely affect the Property that Purchaser first had knowledge of after November 20, 2014, that are timely objected to by Purchaser in accordance with Section 3.3 below and are not cured (or agreed to by cured prior to Closing) by Seller pursuant to and in accordance with Section 3.3; (iii) the existence of environmental matters that materially and adversely affect the value and operation

22043518.5    -2-    



of the Property, that are discovered as a result of Purchaser’s investigations under Section 8.1 below and that are first discovered by Purchaser after November 20, 2014; or (iv) a termination of this Agreement pursuant to the provisions of Sections 5 or 8.2 hereof. If Purchaser does not terminate this Agreement pursuant to and in accordance with Section 8.1.1 below, Purchaser shall, on or before the date that is two (2) business day after the expiration of the Review Period (hereinafter defined), deposit with Escrowee additional earnest money (the “Additional Earnest Money”) in the sum of Five Hundred Thousand and No/100ths Dollars ($500,000.00). The Initial Earnest Money and, if deposited or required to be deposited with the Escrowee, the Additional Earnest Money, together with any interest earned thereon net of investment costs, is referred to in this Agreement as the “Earnest Money”. The Earnest Money shall be invested as Seller and Purchaser jointly direct. Any and all interest earned on the Earnest Money shall be reported to Purchaser’s federal tax identification number.
2.1.2    If the transaction closes in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, at Closing, the Earnest Money shall be delivered by Escrowee to Seller as part payment of the Purchase Price. If the transaction fails to close due to a default on the part of Purchaser, Seller shall have the remedy options provided for in Section 7.2 below. If the transaction fails to close due to a default on the part of Seller, Purchaser shall have the remedy options provided for in Section 7.1 below.
2.2    Cash at Closing. At Closing, Purchaser shall pay to Seller, with current, federal funds wire transferred to an account designated by Seller in writing, an amount equal to the Purchase Price, minus the sum of the Earnest Money which Seller shall receive at Closing from the Escrowee, and plus or minus, as the case may require, the closing prorations and adjustments to be made pursuant to Section 4.4 below.
3.    EVIDENCE OF TITLE.
3.1    Title Insurance. Purchaser acknowledges receipt of a current commitment for an ALTA Owner’s Title Insurance Policy (the “Title Commitment), issued by Chicago Title Insurance Company (“Title Insurer”). At Closing, Purchaser shall cause the Title Commitment to be updated for purposes of issuance of an ALTA Owner’s Policy of Title Insurance (the “Owner’s Policy”) insuring fee simple title to the Real Property and the Improvements. Purchaser may request that Title Insurer issue, but Seller shall have no obligation to pay for or to cause Title Insurer to issue, any available endorsements to the Owner’s Policy. Upon issuance, the Owner’s Policy will except from coverage only (i) the general exceptions (unless Purchaser obtains coverage over the general exceptions), (ii) those exceptions which are more fully described on attached Exhibit E and (iii) exceptions which become Permitted Exceptions pursuant to Section 3.3 (collectively, the “Permitted Exceptions”). Except as permitted under this Agreement, no additional encumbrances may be created on the Property by Seller after the Effective Date without the prior consent of Purchaser, which consent may not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed.

22043518.5    -3-    



3.2    Survey. Purchaser acknowledges receipt of an ALTA/ACSM Land Title Survey dated November 11, 2014 and prepared by Engineering Service Company of the Real Property (the “Existing Survey”). Purchaser has ordered, at Purchaser’s sole expense, an updated survey of the Real Property (the “Updated Survey”) prepared by the surveyor who provided the Existing Survey. Purchaser shall deliver the Updated Survey to Seller and Title Insurer on or before the date that is two (2) business days following Purchaser’s receipt thereof; provided, however, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 3, Purchaser’s failure to deliver to Seller an Updated Survey prior to the expiration of the Title Review Period shall be conclusively deemed to be Purchaser’s waiver of its right to object to any condition shown on the Updated Survey as permitted pursuant to the terms of Section 3.3 below.
3.3    Title Review. Purchaser shall have until the expiration of the Review Period (the “Title Review Period”) to give Seller a detailed notice objecting to any exception or condition contained in the Title Commitment or shown on the Updated Survey, if any, other than those Permitted Exceptions listed as items numbered 1 through 4 on Exhibit E. If Purchaser does not give notice of any objections to Seller within the Title Review Period, Purchaser shall be deemed to have approved the title as shown in the Title Commitment, the title exception documents, and all matters shown on the Existing Survey or the Updated Survey, if any, and any such exceptions or matters shall become “Permitted Exceptions” in accordance with this Section 3.3. If Purchaser provides timely objections, Seller shall have five (5) business days after receipt of Purchaser’s notice (the “Title Cure Period”) in which to elect, by written notice to Purchaser, either (i) to cure or attempt to cure Purchaser’s objections, or (ii) not to cure Purchaser’s objections; provided, however, notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall have no obligation whatsoever to cure or attempt to cure any of Purchaser’s objections. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, Seller shall be obligated at Seller’s sole cost and expense, at Closing, to cause Title Insurer to remove (by waiver or endorsement) any mortgage or deed of trust against the Property, mechanics’ and materialmen’s liens and all other liens against the Property of a liquidated amount, including any interest, penalties and fees associated therewith provided that the cost to remove any such mechanics’, materialmen’s and all other monetary liens do not exceed the sum of $250,000 in the aggregate (collectively, the “Required Cure Items”). In the event that Seller fails to provide such written notice of its election to proceed under either clause (i) or (ii) above, Seller shall be deemed to have elected clause (ii) above. At Seller’s cost and expense, Seller may bond around any such matters to Title Insurer’s reasonable satisfaction or cause Title Insurer to endorse over any such objection, and in either event, such objection shall be deemed cured. If Purchaser provides timely objections and all of Purchaser’s objections are not cured (or agreed to be cured by Seller prior to Closing) within the Title Cure Period for any reason, then, within five (5) days after the last day of the Title Cure Period Purchaser shall, as its sole and exclusive remedy, waiving all other remedies, either: (x) terminate this Agreement by giving a termination notice to Seller, at which time Escrowee shall return the Initial Earnest Money to Purchaser (provided Purchaser’s objections relate solely to matters first existing

22043518.5    -4-    



after November 20, 2014 that materially and adversely affect the Property) and the parties shall have no further rights, liabilities, or obligations under this Agreement (other than those that expressly survive termination); or (y) waive the uncured objections by proceeding to Closing and thereby be deemed to have approved the Purchaser’s title as shown in the Title Commitment, the title exception documents, the Existing Survey or the Updated Survey, if any, and any such uncured objections shall become “Permitted Exceptions”. If Seller does not timely receive notice of Purchaser’s election to terminate under this Section 3.3, Purchaser will be deemed to have waived the uncured objections and to have approved the title as shown in the Title Commitment, the title exception documents, the Existing Survey or the Updated Survey, if any, and such uncured objections shall become “Permitted Exceptions”.
If an update of the Updated Survey or any supplemental title commitment or update issued subsequent to the date of the original Title Commitment discloses any materially adverse matters not set forth on the Existing Survey, the Updated Survey or the original Title Commitment, then, no later than the later of (i) the expiration of the Review Period, or (ii) five (5) business days after Purchaser’s receipt of such update of the Updated Survey, but in no event later than the date that is five (5) days prior to the scheduled Closing Date, or (iii) five (5) business days after Purchaser’s receipt of such supplemented or updated Title Commitment, as applicable, Purchaser shall have the right to object to any such matter, in which event the same procedures for response, termination and waiver set forth above shall apply to such new objections.
4.    CLOSING.
4.1    Closing Date. The “Closing” of the transaction contemplated by this Agreement (that is, the payment of the Purchase Price pursuant to a so-called “New York style” closing, the transfer of title to the Property, and the satisfaction of all other terms and conditions of this Agreement) shall occur through escrow at 11:00 a.m. (Chicago time) on January 22, 2016, at the Chicago office of Title Insurer, or at such other time and place as Seller and Purchaser shall agree in writing.

The following items are to be prorated, adjusted or credited (as appropriate) as of the close of business on the Closing Date, it being understood that for purposes of prorations and adjustments, Seller shall be deemed to be the owner of the Property on the Closing Date and Purchaser shall be deemed to be the owner of the Property as of the date following the Closing Date:
4.4.1    real estate and personal property taxes and assessments attributable to the year in which the Closing occurs (on the basis of the most recent available tax bill if the current bill is not then available), it being understood by the parties hereto that all special assessments assessed against the Property and due and payable prior to the Closing Date shall be the sole responsibility of Seller;

Purchaser shall include any and all Delinquent Amounts in the first bills submitted to the tenants in question after the Closing, and shall continue to do so for six (6) months thereafter.

4.5    Transaction Costs. Seller shall pay for any base premium due in connection with the Owner’s Policy (the “Base Premium”) which shall be net of any reissue discount which may be available from Title Insurer in connection with the delivery of an existing owner’s policy of title insurance, recording charges for any instruments required to be recorded to remove the Required Cure Items and one-half (1/2) of Escrowee’s standard escrow fees.

22043518.5    -8-    



4.7    Tenant Notices. Upon Closing, Seller, at its sole cost and expense, shall deliver a copy of Seller’s Form Notice Letter to each tenant of the Property. This provision shall survive the Closing.
5.    CASUALTY LOSS AND CONDEMNATION. Prior to closing, the risk of loss shall remain with Seller. If, prior to Closing, the Property or any part thereof shall be condemned, or destroyed or damaged by fire or other casualty, Seller shall promptly so notify Purchaser. If the Property or any part thereof shall be condemned such that damages are in excess of Seven Hundred Fifty Thousand and No/100ths Dollars ($750,000.00) (as determined by an MAI certified appraiser selected by Seller) or if the Property or any part thereof shall be destroyed or damaged by fire or other casualty the repair of which would cost in excess of Seven Hundred Fifty Thousand and No/100ths Dollars ($750,000.00) (as determined by the insurance adjuster designated by Seller’s insurance company), then, at the option of Purchaser, which option shall be exercisable, if at all, by written notice thereof to Seller within ten (10) business days after Purchaser receives written notice of such fire, earthquake or other casualty or condemnation and the insurance adjuster’s determination of resulting damages, this Agreement may be terminated. If Purchaser elects to terminate this Agreement, the Earnest Money shall be returned to Purchaser by Escrowee, in which event this Agreement shall, without further action of the parties, become null and void and neither party shall have any rights or obligations under this Agreement, except those which expressly survive termination. In the event that Purchaser does not exercise its option to terminate the Agreement set forth above, or if the condemnation or casualty is below the $750,000 threshold described above, then the Closing shall take place on the Closing Date and Purchaser shall be entitled to receive: (a) with respect to a condemnation, an assignment of all of Seller’s right, title and interest in and to the condemnation proceeds to be awarded to Seller as a result of such condemnation, and (b) with respect to a casualty, a credit against the Purchase Price payable at Closing in the total amount of the loss equal to (i) the estimated cost of repair plus (ii) the estimated amount of lost rental income subsequent to the Closing Date not to exceed 180 days, all as reasonably determined by Seller’s insurer’s claim representative, minus (iii) any sums expended by Seller in repairs or restoration. In addition, in the event of the foregoing, Purchaser shall deliver to Seller at Closing a release in form reasonably satisfactory to Seller whereby Purchaser releases Seller from all ongoing liability and/or claims in connection with such condemnation or casualty.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 5, in the event any condemnation below the $750,000 threshold described above either (i) prohibits, as a matter of applicable law, the rebuilding or repair of the Improvements substantially as they currently exist or (ii) prevents access to the Property from a publicly dedicated street, then Purchaser may elect to terminate this Agreement by written notice thereof to Seller within ten (10) business days of such determination, and upon the exercise of such option by Purchaser, this Agreement shall become null and void, the Earnest Money shall be returned to Purchaser and neither party shall have any further liability or obligations hereunder, except those that expressly survive termination.

22043518.5    -9-    



Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 5, if the Property or any part thereof shall be condemned such that damages are in excess of Eight Hundred Thousand and No/100ths Dollars ($800,000.00) (as determined by an MAI certified appraiser selected by Seller) or if the Property or any part thereof shall be destroyed or damaged by fire or other casualty the repair of which would cost in excess of Eight Hundred Thousand and No/100ths Dollars ($800,000.00) (as determined by the insurance adjuster designated by Seller’s insurance company), then, at the option of Seller, which option shall be exercisable, if at all, by written notice thereof to Purchaser within ten (10) business days after Seller receives written notice of such fire, earthquake or other casualty or condemnation, this Agreement may be terminated. If Seller elects to terminate this Agreement, the Earnest Money shall be returned to Purchaser by Escrowee, in which event this Agreement shall, without further action of the parties, become null and void and neither party shall have any rights or obligations under this Agreement, except those which expressly survive termination.
6.    BROKERAGE. Seller agrees to pay upon Closing (but not otherwise) a brokerage commission due to Moran & Company pursuant to a separate agreement for services rendered in connection with the sale and purchase of the Property. Seller and Purchaser shall each indemnify and hold the other harmless from and against any and all claims of all other brokers and finders claiming by, through or under the indemnifying party and in any way related to the sale and purchase of the Property, this Agreement or otherwise, including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred by the indemnified party in connection with such claim. This Section 6 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
7.    DEFAULT AND REMEDIES.
7.1    Purchaser’s Pre-Closing Remedies. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if Seller fails to materially perform in accordance with the terms of this Agreement at or prior to Closing and Purchaser is not in material default hereunder, then, as Purchaser’s sole and exclusive remedy hereunder and at Purchaser’s option, either (i) the Earnest Money shall be returned to Purchaser, and if, but only if, the remedy of specific performance is not available to Purchaser due to an intentional default by Seller, Purchaser shall be entitled to its actual documented out-of-pocket third party expenses in connection with its contemplated purchase of the Property in an amount not to exceed Fifty Thousand and No/100ths Dollars ($50,000.00), in which event this Agreement shall be null and void, and neither party shall have any rights or obligations under this Agreement except those which expressly survive termination, or (ii) upon notice to Seller not more than ten (10) days after Purchaser becomes aware of such failure, and provided an action is filed within thirty (30) days thereafter, Purchaser may seek specific performance of this Agreement, but not damages. Purchaser’s failure to seek specific performance as aforesaid shall constitute its election to proceed under clause (i) above.

22043518.5    -10-    



7.2    Seller’s Pre-Closing Remedies. If Purchaser fails to perform in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and Seller is not in material default hereunder, Seller shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by delivering written notice to Purchaser whereupon the Earnest Money shall be forfeited to Seller as liquidated damages (which shall be Seller’s sole and exclusive remedy against Purchaser), it being agreed between the parties hereto that the actual damages to Seller in such event are impractical to ascertain and the amount of the Earnest Money is a reasonable estimate thereof and shall be and constitute valid liquidated damages, at which time this Agreement shall be null and void and neither party shall have any rights or obligations under this Agreement; provided, however, if pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, Purchaser is required to but does not deposit with the Escrowee the Additional Earnest Money as provided in Section 2.1.1 above, the liquidated damages will include all amounts that Purchaser was required to deposit as Earnest Money prior to such default. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 7.2 shall limit any indemnification obligation of Purchaser under this Agreement.
7.3    Pre-Closing Knowledge. If at any time after the execution of this Agreement, either Purchaser or Seller becomes aware of any fact or information which causes a representation and warranty contained in this Agreement to become untrue in any material respect, said party shall promptly disclose such fact in writing to the other party hereto. If the party making the representation has taken no willful act which is not permitted under this Agreement to cause the representation to become untrue, said party shall not be in default under this Agreement and the sole remedy of the other party shall be to either (i) terminate this Agreement by written notice within five (5) business days of the date on which the non-breaching party becomes aware of such fact (“Notice Date”), in which event this Agreement, without further action of the parties, shall become null and void such that neither party shall have any further rights or obligations under this Agreement except for those rights and obligations which by their terms expressly survive any such termination, or (ii) elect to proceed to Closing, in which case such non-breaching party shall be deemed to have waived its rights with respect to any such breach of representation or warranty. In the event the non-breaching party fails to deliver such termination notice to the breaching party on or before the Notice Date, then the non-breaching party shall conclusively be deemed to have elected to proceed under clause (ii) of the preceding sentence. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement and without limitation to anything in Section 10.6 below, Purchaser and Seller are prohibited from making any claims against the other party hereto after the Closing with respect to any breaches of the other party’s representations and warranties contained in this Agreement that the claiming party has actual knowledge of prior to the Closing. Notwithstanding clause (i) above in this Section 7.3, in the event the representation and warranty in Section 10.1.5 below becomes untrue and Purchaser does not have the right to terminate this Agreement under Section 5 above, then Purchaser shall not have the right to terminate the Agreement under this Section 7.3 (however, Purchaser shall have the rights provided under Section 5 above).

22043518.5    -11-    



7.4    Post-Closing Remedies. From and after the Closing, Seller and Purchaser shall, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement including, without limitation, the terms of Section 12.1 below, have such rights and remedies as are available at law or in equity, except that neither Seller nor Purchaser shall be entitled to recover from the other consequential or special damages.
8.    CONDITIONS PRECEDENT.
8.1    Condition Precedent - Purchaser.
8.1.1    Purchaser shall have until 5:00 p.m. (Chicago time) on December 4, 2015, within which to inspect the Property (the “Review Period”). If Purchaser determines that the Property is unsuitable for its purposes or for any reason or for no reason and so notifies Seller in writing within the Review Period, and unless such termination results from the circumstances described in Section 2.1.1(i), (ii), (iii) or (iv) hereof, the Initial Earnest Money shall be paid to Seller, otherwise the Initial Earnest Money shall be returned to Purchaser, at which time this Agreement shall be null and void and neither party shall have any further rights or obligations under this Agreement except those which expressly survive termination. Purchaser’s failure to terminate this Agreement within the Review Period shall be conclusively deemed a waiver by Purchaser of the condition contained in this Section 8.

Either party hereto may change the address for receiving notices, requests, demands or other communication by notice sent in accordance with the terms of this Section 14.7.
14.8    Waiver of Trial by Jury. IN ANY LAWSUIT OR OTHER PROCEEDING INITIATED BY PURCHASER OR SELLER UNDER OR WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT, PURCHASER AND SELLER EACH WAIVE ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO TRIAL BY JURY TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW. IN ADDITION, PURCHASER WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO SEEK RESCISSION OF THE TRANSACTION PROVIDED FOR IN THE AGREEMENT.
14.9    Confidentiality. Without the prior written consent of the other party, neither Purchaser nor Seller shall issue a press release or other media publicity of any kind whatsoever with respect to the identity of the parties hereto or this Agreement or disclose to any third party the existence of this Agreement or any term or condition of this Agreement (including, without limitation, the Purchase Price) or the results of any inspections or studies undertaken in connection herewith; provided, however, if disclosure is required by law, the content of any such disclosure shall be subject to the prior written approval of the other party, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. Purchaser agrees to keep confidential and not to use, other than in connection with its determination whether to proceed with the purchase of the Property in accordance with Section 8 hereof, any of the documents, material or information regarding the Property or Seller supplied to Purchaser by Seller or by any third party at the request of Seller, including, without limitation any environmental site assessment reports and information concerning any employee of Seller or Seller’s Affiliates furnished to Purchaser, except Purchaser may share such documents, material and information with Purchaser’s consultants, potential lenders, potential investors, attorneys and accountants (the “Purchaser’s Consultants”) on a “need to know” basis, unless Purchaser is compelled to disclose such documents, material or information by law or by subpoena. Purchaser agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Seller from and against any and all losses, damages, claims and liabilities of any kind (including, without limitation, attorney’s fees) arising out of a

22043518.5    -26-    



breach by Purchaser or Purchaser’s Consultants of the provisions of this Section 14.9. In the event that the Closing does not occur in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, Purchaser shall promptly return to Seller all of the documents, materials and information regarding the Property supplied to Purchaser by Seller or at the request of Seller. The provisions of this Section 14.9 shall survive the Closing or the earlier termination of this Agreement.
14.10    Assignment of Interest in Reports and Studies. If for any reason Purchaser does not consummate the Closing, then Purchaser shall, upon Seller’s request and payment therefor, assign and transfer to Seller all of its right, title and interest in and to any and all studies, reports, surveys and other information, data and/or documents relating to the Property or any part thereof prepared by or at the request of Purchaser, its employees and agents, and shall deliver to Seller copies of all of the foregoing, provided that, in such event, Seller shall reimburse Purchaser for the actual costs of any third party reports requested by Seller.
14.11    Access to Property Files. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, Purchaser hereby agrees that following Closing, Seller shall have, upon reasonable prior notice to Purchaser, access to all files at the Property that relate to a dispute or a set of facts that could lead to a dispute (a “Dispute”) between Seller and a third party including, without limitation, a tenant of the Property with respect to Seller’s period of ownership thereof; provided, however, all rights, defenses, causes of action and claims relating to a Dispute and arising from matters and events following the Closing Date shall belong to Purchaser. In addition, all files at the Property that relate to tenants who have vacated their units at the Property (the “Former Tenant Lease Files”), together with any and all rights, defenses, causes of action and claims relating thereto, shall remain the property of Seller. Former Tenant Lease Files may be removed from the Property by Seller on or before Closing. The provisions of this Section 14.11 shall survive the Closing.
14.12    No Memorandum of Agreement. This Agreement or any notice or memorandum hereof shall not be recorded in any public record. A violation of this prohibition shall constitute a material breach by Purchaser, entitling Seller to terminate this Agreement.
14.13    No Finance Contingency. Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that Purchaser’s obligations under this Agreement are not in any manner contingent or conditioned upon Purchaser obtaining financing in order to purchase the Property. It is expressly understood that if Purchaser is unable to close the transaction contemplated by this Agreement as a result of Purchaser’s failure to obtain financing, Purchaser shall be in default under this Agreement and Seller shall have the remedy provided in Section 7.2 above. In no event shall Seller be obligated to comply with any requirements of Purchaser’s lender or otherwise incur any cost, expense or liability in connection with Purchaser’s financing of the Property.

Section 1.6045-4(e)(5) relating to the requirements for information reporting on real estate transaction closed on or after January 1, 1991.
14.16    Weekends and Legal Holidays. Whenever the time for performance of a covenant or condition required to be performed pursuant to the terms of this Agreement falls upon a Saturday, Sunday or Federal or State of Illinois holiday, such time for performance shall be extended to the next business day. Otherwise all references herein to “days” shall mean calendar days.
14.17    Signatures. Handwritten signatures to this Agreement transmitted by telecopy or electronic transmission (for example, through use of a Portable Document Format or “PDF” file) shall be valid and effective to bind the party so signing. Each party agrees to promptly deliver to the other party an executed original of this Agreement with its actual signature, but a failure to do so shall not affect the enforceability of this Agreement, it being expressly agreed that each party to this Agreement shall be bound by its own telecopied or electronically transmitted handwritten signature and shall accept the telecopied or electronically transmitted handwritten signature of the other party to this Agreement.
14.18    Legal Representation. Each party hereto has been represented by legal counsel in connection with the negotiation of the transactions herein contemplated and the drafting and negotiation of this Agreement. Each party hereto and its counsel has had an opportunity to review and suggest revisions to the language of this Agreement. Accordingly, no provision of this Agreement shall be construed for or against or interpreted to the benefit or disadvantage of any party by reason of any party having or being deemed to have structured or drafted such provision.
14.19    Prevailing Party Attorney Fees. If a party to this Agreement shall bring any action, suit, counterclaim or appeal against the other party declaratory or otherwise, to enforce the terms hereof or to declare rights hereunder (an “Action”), the non-prevailing party in such Action shall pay to the prevailing party in such Action a reasonable sum for the prevailing party’s attorney’s fees and expenses incurred in prosecuting or defending such Action and/or enforcing any judgment, order, ruling or award (a “Decision”), granted therein, all of which shall be deemed to have accrued from commencement of such Action. Any Decision entered into in such Action shall contain a specific provision providing for the recovery of attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred in obtaining and enforcing such Decision. The court may fix the amount of reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses upon the request of any party. For purposes of this Section 14.19, attorneys’ fees shall

22043518.5    -28-    



include, without limitation, fees incurred in connection with (i) post judgment motions and collection actions, (ii) contempt proceedings, (iii) garnishment, levy and debtor and third party examination, (iv) discovery, and (v) bankruptcy litigation. The terms of this Section 14.19 shall survive Closing or any earlier termination of this Agreement.
14.20    Compliance.  Seller shall provide to Purchaser (at Purchaser’s expense) copies of, or shall provide Purchaser reasonable access to, such factual information as may be requested by Purchaser, and in the possession or control of Seller, or its property manager or accountants, necessary to enable Purchaser’s auditor to conduct an audit, in accordance with Rule 3-14 of Securities and Exchange Commission Regulation S-X, of the income statements of the Property for the year to date of the year in which Closing occurs plus the one (1) immediately preceding calendar year (provided, however, that other than fees paid or payable to Seller, a Seller affiliate or a third party for on-site property management, such audit shall not include an audit of asset management fees internally allocated by Seller (as opposed to paid to a third party) or interest expenses attributable to Seller).  Purchaser shall be responsible for all out-of-pocket costs associated with this audit.  Seller shall cooperate (at no cost to Seller) with Purchaser’s auditor in the conduct of such audit.  In addition, Seller agrees to provide to Purchaser or any affiliate of Purchaser, if requested by such auditor, historical financial statements for the Property, including (without limitation) income and balance sheet data for the Property, whether required before or after Closing.  Without limiting the foregoing, (i) Purchaser or its designated independent or other auditor may audit Seller’s operating statements of the Property, at Purchaser’s expense, and Seller shall provide such documentation as Purchaser or its auditor may request in order to complete such audit, and (ii) Seller shall furnish to Purchaser such financial and other information as may be required by Purchaser or any affiliate of Purchaser to make any required filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission or other governmental authority. Seller shall maintain its records for use under this Section 14.20 for a period of not less than one (1) year after the Closing Date. The provisions of this Section shall survive Closing for a period of two (2) years.

The Escrow Deposits shall be held by Escrowee and disbursed only at the direction of the undersigned pursuant to the provisions described in the Agreement.
Unless otherwise directed by the undersigned, in writing, Escrowee is hereby authorized and directed to disregard any and all notices or instructions given by any person or entity other than the undersigned.

In case of any suit or proceeding regarding this Escrow, to which Escrowee is or may be at any time a party, Escrowee shall have a lien on the Escrow Deposits for any and all costs, attorney's and solicitor's fees, whether such attorney(s) or solicitor(s) shall be regularly retained or specially employed, and other expenses which it may have incurred or become liable for on account hereof. Escrowee shall be entitled to reimburse itself from the Escrow Deposits for all such costs, fees and expenses so incurred, and, alternatively, the undersigned agrees to promptly pay Escrowee therefor upon demand.
Escrowee shall invest the Escrow Deposits in an interest-bearing savings or money market account or short term U.S. Treasury Bills or similar cash equivalent securities, as directed by the undersigned, provided that Escrowee is in receipt of the taxpayer's identification number and investment forms, as required.

In the event Escrowee is requested to invest the Escrow Deposits hereunder, Escrowee is not to be held responsible for any loss of principal or interest which may be incurred as a result of making the investments or redeeming said investment for the purposes of this Escrow.
