Section 4. Deliveries: Seller agrees to use best efforts to deliver to Buyer as soon as reasonably possible after the Contract Date copies of all information relating to the Property in possession of or available to Seller, including but not limited to: title insurance policies, surveys and copies of all presently effective warranties or service contracts related to the Property. Seller authorizes (1) any attorney presently or previously representing Seller to release and disclose any title insurance policy in such attorney’s file to Buyer and both Buyer’s and Seller’s agents and attorneys; and (2) the Property’s title insurer or its agent to release and disclose all materials in the Property’s title insurer’s (or title insurer’s agent’s) file to Buyer and both Buyer’s and Seller’s agents and attorneys. If Buyer does not consummate the Closing for any reason other than Seller default, then Buyer shall return to Seller all materials delivered by Seller to Buyer pursuant to this Section 4 (or Section 7, if applicable), if any, and shall, upon Seller’s request, provide to Seller copies of (subject to the ownership and copyright interests of the preparer thereof) any and all studies, reports, surveys and other information relating directly to the Property prepared by or at the request of Buyer, its employees and agents, and shall deliver to Seller, upon the release of the Earnest Money, copies of all of the foregoing without any warranty or representation by Buyer as to the contents, accuracy or correctness thereof.

Section 6. Conditions: This Agreement and the rights and obligations of the parties under this Agreement are hereby made expressly conditioned upon fulfillment (or waiver by Buyer, whether explicit or implied) of the following conditions:

(a) New Loan: The Buyer must be able to obtain the loan, if any, referenced in Section 1(b)(ii). Buyer must be able to obtain a firm commitment for this loan on or before February 01, 2007, effective through the date of Closing. Buyer agrees to use its best efforts to secure such commitment and to advise Seller immediately upon receipt of lender’s decision. On or before the above date, Buyer has the right to terminate this Agreement for failure to obtain the loan referenced in Section 1(b)(ii) by delivering to Seller written notice of termination by the above date, time being of the essence. If Buyer delivers such notice, this Agreement shall be null and void and Earnest Money shall be refunded to Buyer. If Buyer fails to deliver such notice, then Buyer will be deemed to have waived the loan condition. Notwithstanding the foregoing, after the above date, Seller may request in writing from Buyer a copy of the commitment letter. If Buyer fails to provide Seller a copy of the commitment letter within five (5) days of receipt of Seller’s request, then Seller may terminate this Agreement by written notice to Buyer at any time thereafter, provided Seller has not then received a copy of the commitment letter, and Buyer shall receive a return of Earnest Money.

(b) Qualification for Financing: If Buyer is to assume any indebtedness in connection with payment of the Purchase Price, Buyer agrees to use its best efforts to qualify for the assumption. Should Buyer fail to qualify, Buyer shall notify Seller in writing immediately upon lender’s decision, whereupon this Agreement shall terminate, and Buyer shall receive a return of Earnest Money.

(c) Title Examination: After the Contract Date, Buyer shall, at Buyer’s expense, cause a title examination to be made of the Property before the end of the Examination Period. In the event that such title examination shall show that Seller’s title is not fee simple marketable and insurable, subject only to Permitted Exceptions, then Buyer shall promptly notify Seller in writing of all such title defects and exceptions, in no case later than the end of the Examination Period, and Seller shall have thirty (30) days to cure said noticed defects. If Seller does not cure the defects or objections within thirty (30) days of notice thereof, then Buyer may terminate this Agreement and receive a return of Earnest Money (notwithstanding that the Examination Period may have expired). If Buyer is to purchase title insurance, the insuring company must be licensed to do business in the state in which the Property is located. Title to the Property must be insurable at regular rates, subject only to standard exceptions and Permitted Exceptions.

(d) Same Condition: If the Property is not in substantially the same condition at Closing as of the date of the offer, reasonable wear and tear excepted, then the Buyer may (i) terminate this Agreement and receive a return of the Earnest Money or (ii) proceed to Closing whereupon Buyer shall be entitled to receive, in addition to the Property, any of the Seller’s insurance proceeds payable on account of the damage or destruction applicable to the Property.

(e) Inspections: Buyer, its agents or representatives, at Buyer’s expense and at reasonable times during normal business hours, shall have the right to enter upon the Property for the purpose of inspecting, examining, performing soil boring and other testing, conducting timber cruises, and surveying the Property. Buyer shall conduct all such on-site inspections, examinations, soil boring and other testing, timber cruises and surveying of the Property in a good and workmanlike manner, shall repair any damage to the Property caused by Buyer’s entry and on-site inspections and shall conduct same in a manner that does not unreasonably interfere with Seller’s or any tenant’s use and enjoyment of the Property. In that respect, Buyer shall make reasonable efforts to undertake on-site inspections outside of the hours any tenant’s business is open to the public and shall give prior notice to any tenants of any entry onto any tenant’s portion of the Property for the purpose of conducting inspections. Upon Seller’s request, Buyer shall provide to Seller evidence of general liability insurance. Buyer shall also have a right to review and inspect all contracts or other agreements affecting or related directly to the Property and shall be entitled to review such books and records of Seller that relate directly to the operation and maintenance of the Property, provided, however, that Buyer shall not disclose any information regarding this Property (or any tenant therein) unless required by law and the same shall be regarded as confidential, to any person, except to its attorneys, accountants, lenders and other professional advisors, in which case Buyer shall obtain their agreement to maintain such confidentiality. Buyer assumes all responsibility for the acts of itself, its agents or representatives in exercising its rights under this Section 6(e) and agrees to indemnify and hold Seller harmless from any damages resulting therefrom. This indemnification obligation of Buyer shall survive the Closing or earlier termination of this Agreement. Buyer shall, at Buyer’s expense, promptly repair any damage to the Property caused by Buyer’s entry and on-site inspections. Except as provided in Section 6(c) above, Buyer shall have from the Contract Date through the end of the Examination Period to perform the above inspections, examinations and testing. IF BUYER CHOOSES NOT TO PURCHASE THE PROPERTY, FOR ANY REASON OR NO REASON, AND PROVIDES WRITTEN NOTICE TO SELLER THEREOF PRIOR TO THE EXPIRATION OF THE EXAMINATION PERIOD, THEN THIS AGREEMENT SHALL TERMINATE, AND BUYER SHALL RECEIVE A RETURN OF THE EARNEST MONEY.

In the event there is any Lease Default as of the Contract Date, Seller agrees to provide Buyer with a detailed description of the situation in accordance with Section 4.

Any assignment required under this Section 7 shall be required to be delivered at Closing by Seller in addition to those deliveries required under Section 11 of this Agreement.
