The Deposit shall be held in an insured, interest-bearing account with interest accruing for the benefit of Buyer. Buyers Federal Tax Identification Number may be listed after its signature. The Escrow Agent shall not be responsible for any loss, diminution in value or failure to achieve a greater profit as a result of such investments. Escrow Agent assumes no responsibility for, nor shall said Escrow Agent be held liable for, any loss occurring which arises from (i) failure of the depository institution, (ii) the fact that some banking instruments, including without limitation repurchase agreements and letters of credit are not covered by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, or (iii) the fact that the amount of the Deposit may cause the aggregate amount of any depositors accounts to exceed $250,000 and that such excess amount is not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The Escrow Agent is not a trustee for any party for any purpose, and is merely acting as a depository and in a ministerial capacity hereunder with the limited duties herein prescribed. The Escrow Agent may conclusively rely upon and act in accordance with any certificate, instructions, notice, letter, e-mail, facsimile, other written instrument believed to be genuine and to have been signed or communicated by the proper party or parties. The Seller and Buyer shall indemnify, save, defend, keep and hold harmless the Escrow Agent from any and all loss, damage, cost, charge, liability, cost of litigation, or other expense, including without limitation attorneys fees and court costs, arising out of its obligations and duties, including but not limited to (i) disputes arising or concerning amounts of money to be paid, (ii) funds available for such payments, (iii)

1.4.2 The Deposit shall be applied to the Purchase Price if the Closing (as defined in Section 1.5.1 below) occurs. After the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, the Deposit shall be nonrefundable to Buyer unless a Closing fails to occur due to Sellers breach or default under this Agreement, a failure of a representation or warranty by Seller to be true and correct in all material respects as of the Closing or due to the failure of a condition precedent set forth in Section 5.4, or as otherwise provided for in this Agreement, and shall constitute liquidated damages to Seller if escrow fails to close as a result of Buyers default as provided in Section 6.1 below.

3
otherwise cure to Buyers satisfaction any objections prior to or at the Closing (Seller Response Notice); provided however, Seller shall be obligated to eliminate monetary liens, and any exceptions created or consented to by Seller after the Effective Date, unless approved in writing by Buyer, which Seller shall cause to be released at Closing.

9.15 Construction of Agreement. This Agreement shall not be construed more strictly against one party than against the other merely by virtue of the fact that it may have been prepared primarily by counsel for one of the parties, it being recognized that both Buyer and Seller have contributed substantially and materially to the preparation of this Agreement.
9.16 Severability. The parties hereto intend and believe that each provision in this Agreement comports with all applicable local, state and federal laws and judicial decisions. However, if any provision in this Agreement is found by a court of law to be in violation of any applicable local, state or federal law, statute, ordinance, administrative or judicial decision, or public policy, or if in any other respect such a court declares any such provision to be illegal, invalid, unlawful, void or unenforceable as written, then it is the intent of all parties hereto that, consistent with and with a view towards preserving the economic and legal arrangements among the parties hereto as expressed in this Agreement, such provision shall be given force and effect to the fullest possible extent, and that the remainder of this Agreement shall be construed as if such illegal, invalid, unlawful, void or unenforceable provision were not contained herein, and

After the Effective Date, Seller and its respective agents, representatives and employees shall immediately cease all marketing of the Property until such time as this Agreement is terminated and Seller shall not directly or indirectly make, accept, negotiate, entertain or otherwise pursue any offers for the sale of the Property.

Either party may consummate the purchase or sale of the Property as part of a so-called like kind exchange (an Exchange) pursuant to section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code), provided that (i) the Closing shall not be delayed or affected by reason of an Exchange nor shall the consummation or accomplishment of any Exchange be a condition precedent or condition subsequent to a partys obligations under this Agreement; (ii) any party desiring an Exchange shall effect its Exchange through an assignment of this Agreement, or its rights under this Agreement, to a qualified intermediary and the other party shall not be required to take an assignment of the purchase agreement for the relinquished or replacement property or be required to acquire or hold title to any real property for purposes of consummating such Exchange; and (iii) the party desiring an Exchange shall pay any additional costs that would not otherwise have been incurred by Buyer or Seller had such party not consummated its purchase or sale through an Exchange. Neither party shall by this agreement or acquiescence to an Exchange desired by the other party (1) have its rights under this Agreement affected or diminished in any manner or (2) be responsible for compliance with or be deemed to have warranted to the other party that such partys Exchange in fact complies with section 1031 of the Code. In connection with such cooperation, Seller agrees, upon request of Buyer to direct deed for actual interests in the property to designees of Buyer.
9.19 Rule 3-14 Audit and SEC Filing Requirements. Subsequent to the Closing Date and no later than one (1) calendar year subsequent to the Closing Date, Buyers auditor may conduct an audit, as may be required of Buyer pursuant to Rule 3-14 of Securities and Exchange Commission Regulation S-X (the Audit), of the income statements of the Property for the last complete fiscal year immediately preceding the Closing Date and the stub period through the Closing Date (the Audit Period). Seller shall reasonably cooperate (at no cost or liability of any kind to Seller) with Buyers auditor in the conduct of the Audit. Without limiting the foregoing, (a) Buyer or its designated independent or other auditor may audit the operating statements of the Property, at Buyers expense and, upon Buyers reasonable prior written request, Seller shall allow Buyers auditors reasonable access to such books and records maintained by Seller in respect to the Property and pertaining to the Audit Period as necessary to conduct the Audit; and (b) Seller shall use reasonable efforts to provide to Buyer such existing financial information as may be reasonably required by Buyer and required for Buyers auditors to conduct the Audit, provided, however, that the ongoing obligations of Seller shall be limited to providing such information or documentation as may be in the possession or control of Seller, the Sellers accountants or the applicable property or asset manager, at no cost or liability of any kind to any of such parties, and in the format the Seller has maintained such information.
