relevant thereto, including, without limitation, the condition of the Property, and to reach its own, independent evaluation of any risks (environmental or otherwise) or rewards associated with the ownership, leasing, management and operation of the Property.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Agreement, Seller shall be obligated to cure or satisfy all Monetary Objections affecting the Property at or prior to Closing, and Seller may use the proceeds of the Purchase Price at Closing for such purpose.
3.5. Termination of Agreement. Purchaser shall have until the expiration of the Inspection Period to determine, in Purchasers sole opinion and discretion, the suitability of the Property for acquisition by Purchaser or Purchasers permitted assignee.

ATLANTA, GEORGIA |
5.4. Prorations and Credits. The following items in this Section 5.4 shall be adjusted and prorated between Seller and Purchaser as of 11:59 P.M. on the day preceding the Closing, based upon the actual number of days in the applicable month or year:
(a) Taxes. All general real estate taxes imposed by any governmental authority (Taxes) for the year in which the Closing occurs shall be prorated between Purchaser and Seller with respect to the Property as of the Closing. If the Closing occurs prior to the receipt by Seller of the tax bill for the Property for the calendar year or other applicable tax period in which the Closing occurs, Taxes with respect to the Property shall be prorated for such calendar year or other applicable tax period based upon the prior years tax bill. Taxes for any year prior to the year in which the Closing occurs are the responsibility of Seller. If the Taxes for calendar year 2003 are still under appeal as of the Closing Date, and if less than 100% of the taxes billed for 2003 were paid by Seller, the difference between the taxes billed and the taxes paid for 2003 shall be escrowed at Closing to assure the availability of funds to pay the balance of the taxes due if the appeal shall fail.
(b) Reproration of Taxes. Within thirty (30) days of receipt of final bills for Taxes, the party receiving said final tax bills shall furnish copies of the same to the other party and shall prepare and present to such other party a calculation of the reproration of such Taxes based upon the actual amount of such Taxes for the year. The parties shall make the appropriate adjusting payment between them within thirty (30) days after presentment to Seller of Purchasers calculation and appropriate back-up information. The provisions of this Section 5.4(b) shall survive the Closing for a period of one (1) year after the Closing Date.
(c) Rents, Income and Other Expenses. Rents and any other amounts paid to Seller by the tenants under the Leases (and any new lease entered into in accordance with the terms of this Agreement) shall be prorated as of the Closing Date and be adjusted against the Purchase Price on the basis of a schedule which shall be prepared by Seller and delivered to Purchaser for Purchasers review and approval prior to Closing. Seller and Purchaser shall prorate all rents, additional rent, common area maintenance charges, operating expense contributions, tenant reimbursements and escalations, and all other payments under the Leases (and any such new lease) received as of the Closing Date so that at Closing Seller will receive monthly basic rent payments through the day prior to the Closing Date and so that Seller will receive reimbursement for all expenses paid by Seller through the day prior to the Closing Date for which Seller is entitled to reimbursement under the Leases (and any such new lease) (including, without limitation, Taxes) (such expenses shall be reasonably estimated if not ascertainable as the Closing Date and then shall be re-adjusted as provided in (f) below when actual amounts are determined), and so that the excess, if any, is credited to Purchaser. Purchaser agrees to pay to Seller, upon receipt, any rents or other payments by the tenants under the Leases with respect to the Property that apply to periods prior to Closing but which are received by Purchaser after Closing; provided, however, that any rents or other payments by such tenants received by Purchaser after Closing shall be applied first to any current amounts then owed to Purchaser by such tenants, with the balance, if any, paid over to Seller to the extent of delinquencies existing on the date of Closing to which Seller is entitled. It is understood and agreed that Purchaser shall not be legally responsible to Seller for the collection of any rents or other charges payable with respect to the Leases of Seller or any portion thereof which are delinquent or past due as of the Closing Date; but Purchaser agrees that Purchaser shall send
PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT | 23 | |||
PACES PAVILION | ||||
ATLANTA, GEORGIA |
monthly notices for a period of three (3) consecutive months in an effort to collect any rents and charges not collected as of the Closing Date. Seller hereby retains its right to pursue the tenants under the Leases for sums due Seller for periods attributable to Sellers ownership of the Property, but in no event shall Seller be permitted to seek eviction of such tenants or the termination of their Leases. The provisions of this Section 5.4(c) shall survive the Closing.
(d) Tenant Inducement Costs. Seller shall pay all such Tenant Inducement Costs and leasing commissions payable under the Leases with respect to all expansions or renewals of any Lease exercised prior to the Effective Date. If said amounts have not been paid in full on or before Closing, Purchaser shall receive a credit against the Purchase Price in the aggregate amount of all such Tenant Inducement Costs and leasing commissions remaining unpaid at Closing, and Purchaser shall assume the obligation to pay amounts payable after Closing up to the amount of such credit received at Closing. In furtherance of the preceding sentence, Seller agrees to provide a credit to Purchaser at Closing in the amount of the remaining unpaid balance as of the Closing of the tenant improvement allowances provided by Seller under the Lease with Eye Consultants of Atlanta, P.C. and under the Lease with Eye Consultants of Atlanta/Piedmont System Ambulatory Surgery Center LLC. Except as may be specifically provided to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement, Purchaser shall be responsible for the payment of all Tenant Inducement Costs and leasing commissions (i) as a result of any renewals or extensions or expansions of the existing Leases entered into or exercised after the Effective Date hereof with the approval of Purchaser as set forth in this Agreement, and (ii) under any new leases approved or deemed approved by Purchaser in accordance with Section 4.3(a). The provisions of this Section 5.4(d) shall survive the Closing.
(e) Security Deposits. Purchaser shall receive at Closing a credit with respect to the Purchase Price for all security deposits transferred and assigned to Purchaser at Closing in connection with the Leases affecting the Property, together with a detailed inventory of such security deposits certified by Seller at Closing.
(f) Operating Expenses; Year End Reconciliation. Personal property taxes, installment payments of special assessment liens, vault charges, sewer charges, utility charges, assessments under the Condominium Declaration, and normally prorated operating expenses actually paid or payable by Seller as of the Closing Date with respect to the Property shall be prorated as of the Closing Date and adjusted against the Purchase Price, provided that within ninety (90) days after the Closing, Purchaser and Seller will make a further adjustment for such expenses which may have accrued or been incurred prior to the Closing Date, but which were not paid as of the Closing Date. In addition, within ninety (90) days after the close of the fiscal year used in calculating the pass-through to the tenants of operating expenses and/or common area maintenance costs under the Leases affecting the Property (where such fiscal year includes the Closing Date), Seller and Purchaser shall re-prorate on a fair and equitable basis all rents and income prorated pursuant to this Section 5.4 as well as all expenses prorated pursuant to this Section 5.4. All prorations of rent and other income shall be made based on the cumulative amounts collected from the tenants under the Leases in such fiscal year and applied first to actual expense amounts paid by Seller prior to the Closing Date and then to Purchaser for actual expense amounts paid by Purchaser from and after the Closing Date. After Closing, to the extent Seller (and not the Association) has liability for water, sewer and utilities charges attributable to
PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT | 24 | |||
PACES PAVILION | ||||
ATLANTA, GEORGIA |
the Property, Seller shall continue to be responsible for the payment of all water, sewer and utility charges related to the ownership and operation of the Property for all periods prior to the Closing. The provisions of this Section 5.4(f) shall survive the Closing.

CASUALTY AND CONDEMNATION
7.1. Casualty. Risk of loss up to and including the Closing Date shall be borne by Seller. In the event of any immaterial damage or destruction to the Property owned by Seller or any portion thereof, Seller and Purchaser shall proceed to close under this Agreement, and Seller will assign to Purchaser at the Closing Sellers rights to receive any insurance proceeds (including any rent loss insurance applicable to any period on and after the Closing Date) due Seller as a result of such damage or destruction (less any amounts reasonably expended for restoration or collection of proceeds), and Purchaser shall assume responsibility for such repair and shall receive a credit at Closing for any deductible amount under said insurance policies maintained by Seller. For purposes of this Agreement, the term immaterial damage or destruction shall mean such instances of damage or destruction of the subject Property: (i) which can be repaired or restored at a cost of $250,000.00 or less; (ii) which can be restored and repaired within one hundred eighty (180) days from the date of such damage or destruction; and (iii) which are not so extensive as to allow more than two tenants of the Property, or tenants leasing more than 9,500 square feet of rentable area in the aggregate, to terminate their Leases or abate or reduce rent payable thereunder (unless business loss or rent loss insurance shall be available in the full amount of such abatement or reduction, subject to applicable deductibles) on account of such damage or destruction.
PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT | 26 | |||
PACES PAVILION | ||||
ATLANTA, GEORGIA |
In the event of any material damage or destruction to the Property or any portion thereof, Purchaser may, at its option, by notice to Seller given within the earlier of twenty (20) days after Purchaser is notified by Seller of such damage or destruction, or the Closing Date, but in no event less than ten (10) days after Purchaser is notified by Seller of such damage or destruction (and if necessary the Closing Date shall be extended to give Purchaser the full 10-day period to make such election): (i) terminate this Agreement, whereupon Escrow Agent shall immediately return the Earnest Money to Purchaser, or (ii) proceed to close under this Agreement, whereupon Seller will assign to Purchaser at the Closing the rights of Seller to receive any insurance proceeds (including any rent loss insurance applicable to the period on or after the Closing Date) due Seller as a result of such damage or destruction (less any amounts reasonably expended for restoration), and Purchaser shall assume responsibility for such repair and shall receive a credit at Closing for any deductible amount under said insurance policies maintained by Seller. If Purchaser fails to deliver to Seller notice of its election within the period set forth above, Purchaser will conclusively be deemed to have elected to proceed with the Closing as provided in clause (ii) of the preceding sentence. If Purchaser elects clause (ii) above, Seller will cooperate with Purchaser after the Closing to assist Purchaser in obtaining the insurance proceeds from the applicable insurers. For purposes of this Agreement material damage or destruction shall mean all instances of damage or destruction that are not immaterial, as defined herein.
7.2. Condemnation. If, prior to the Closing, all or any part of the Land or the Property is subjected to a bona fide threat of condemnation by a body having the power of eminent domain or is taken by eminent domain or condemnation (or sale in lieu thereof), or if Seller has received written notice that any condemnation action or proceeding with respect to the Land or the Property is contemplated by a body having the power of eminent domain (collectively, a Taking), Seller shall give Purchaser immediate written notice of such Taking. In the event of any immaterial Taking with respect to the Property or any portion thereof, Seller and Purchaser shall proceed to close under this Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, the term immaterial Taking shall mean such instances of Taking of the Land or the Property: (i) which do not result in a taking of any portion of the building structure of the building occupied by tenants on the Property; (ii) which do not result in a decrease in the number of parking spaces on the Land (taking into account the number of additional parking spaces that can be provided within 180 days of such Taking); and (iii) which are not so extensive as to allow more than two tenants of the Property to terminate their Leases or abate or reduce rent payable thereunder [unless business loss or rent insurance (subject to applicable deductibles) or condemnation award proceeds shall be available in the full amount of such abatement or reduction, and Purchaser shall receive a credit at Closing for such deductible amount] on account of such Taking.
In the event of any material Taking of the Land or the Property or any portion thereof, Purchaser may, at its option, by written notice to Seller given within thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice from Seller, elect to terminate this Agreement, or Purchaser may choose to proceed to close. If Purchaser chooses to terminate this Agreement in accordance with this Section 7.2, then the Earnest Money shall be returned immediately to Purchaser by Escrow Agent and the rights, duties, obligations, and liabilities of the parties hereunder shall immediately terminate and be of no further force and effect, except for those provisions of this Agreement

At such time as all or a part of either Property is subjected to a bona fide threat of condemnation and Purchaser shall not have elected to terminate this Agreement as provided in this Section 7.2, and provided that the Inspection Period has expired, (i) Purchaser shall thereafter be permitted to participate in the proceedings as if Purchaser were a party to the action, and (ii) Seller shall not settle or agree to any award or payment pursuant to condemnation, eminent domain, or sale in lieu thereof without obtaining Purchasers prior written consent thereto in each case.
ARTICLE 8.
DEFAULT AND REMEDIES
8.1. Purchasers Default. If Purchaser defaults under this Agreement or otherwise fails to consummate this transaction for any reason other than the default of Seller, failure of a condition to Purchasers obligation to close, or the exercise by Purchaser of an express right of termination granted herein, Seller shall be entitled, as their sole remedy hereunder, to terminate this Agreement and to receive and retain the Earnest Money as full liquidated damages for such default of Purchaser, the parties hereto acknowledging that it is impossible to estimate more precisely the damages which might be suffered by Seller upon Purchasers default, and that said Earnest Money is a reasonable estimate of the probable loss of Seller in the event of default by Purchaser. The retention by Seller of said Earnest Money is intended not as a penalty, but as full liquidated damages. The right to retain the Earnest Money as full liquidated damages is the sole and exclusive remedy of Seller in the event of default hereunder by Purchaser, and Seller hereby waives and releases any right to (and hereby covenant that they shall not) sue the Purchaser: (a) for specific performance of this Agreement, or (b) to recover actual damages in excess of the Earnest Money. The foregoing liquidated damages provision shall not apply to or limit Purchasers liability for Purchasers obligations under Sections 3.1(b), 3.1(c), 3.6 and 10.1 of this Agreement or for Purchasers obligation to pay to Seller all attorneys fees and costs of Seller to enforce the provisions of this Section 8.1. Purchaser hereby waives and releases any right to (and hereby covenants that it shall not) sue Seller or seek or claim a refund of said Earnest Money (or any part thereof) on the grounds it is unreasonable in amount and exceeds the actual damages of Seller or that its retention by Seller constitutes a penalty and not agreed upon and reasonable liquidated damages.
8.2. Sellers Default. If Seller fails to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement for any reason other than Purchasers default or the permitted termination of this Agreement by Seller or Purchaser as expressly provided herein, Purchaser shall be entitled, as its
PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT | 28 | |||
PACES PAVILION | ||||
ATLANTA, GEORGIA |
sole remedy, either (a) to receive the return of the Earnest Money from Escrow Agent, which return shall operate to terminate this Agreement and release Seller from any and all liability hereunder, or (b) to enforce specific performance of the obligation of Seller to execute and deliver the documents required to convey the Property to Purchaser in accordance with this Agreement; it being specifically understood and agreed that the remedy of specific performance shall not be available to enforce any other obligation of Seller hereunder; provided, however, if Seller shall have conveyed title to the Property to another party or intentionally and knowingly taken any other action to defeat the remedy of specific performance, Purchaser shall be entitled to seek actual damages from Seller. Purchaser expressly waives its rights to seek damages in the event of the default of Seller hereunder. Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected to terminate this Agreement and to receive a return of the Earnest Money from Escrow Agent if Purchaser fails to file suit for specific performance against Seller in a court having jurisdiction, on or before sixty (60) days following the date upon which the Closing was to have occurred.
ARTICLE 9.
ASSIGNMENT
9.1. Assignment. Subject to the next following sentence, this Agreement and all rights and obligations hereunder shall not be assignable by any party without the written consent of the other, except in accordance with Section 12.11. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, this Agreement and all of Purchasers rights hereunder may be transferred and assigned to any entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with Purchaser. Any assignee or transferee under any such assignment or transfer by Purchaser as to which the written consent of Seller has been given or as to which the consent of Seller is not required hereunder shall expressly assume all of Purchasers duties, liabilities and obligations under this Agreement (whether arising or accruing prior to or after the assignment or transfer) by written instrument delivered to Seller as a condition to the effectiveness of such assignment or transfer. Upon the assignment of all of Purchasers rights hereunder made with the written consent of Seller or as to which the consent of Seller is not required hereunder, and the assumption by the assignee of all of Purchasers duties, liabilities and obligations under this Agreement as aforesaid, the original Purchaser shall thereafter be relieved of any duties and obligations hereunder; provided, however, no assignment or transfer shall relieve the original Purchaser of its indemnity obligations under Sections 31 and 10.2 hereof, and the written assignment and assumption agreement shall expressly so provide. For purposes of this Section 9.1, the term control shall mean the ownership of at least fifty percent (50%) of the applicable entity. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective legal representatives, successors and permitted assigns. This Agreement is not intended and shall not be construed to create any rights in or to be enforceable in any part by any other persons.
ARTICLE 10.

If any provision of this Agreement, or the application thereof to any person or circumstance, shall, for any reason and to any extent be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement and the application of such provision to other persons or circumstances shall not be affected thereby but rather shall be enforced to the greatest extent permitted by law.
12.7. Construction. This Agreement shall not be construed more strictly against one party than against the other merely by virtue of the fact that this Agreement may have been prepared by counsel for one of the parties, it being mutually acknowledged and agreed that Seller and Purchaser and their respective counsel have contributed substantially and materially to the preparation and negotiation of this Agreement. Accordingly, the normal rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall not be employed in the interpretation of this Agreement or any exhibits or amendments hereto.

Likewise, Seller agrees that for a period of twenty-four (24) months following the Closing, Purchaser shall have the right during regular business hours, on five (5) days written notice to Seller, and at Purchasers sole cost, to examine and review at Sellers office, all books, records and files, if any, retained by Seller relating to the ownership and operation by Seller prior to the Closing of the Property.

PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT | 33 | |||
PACES PAVILION | ||||
ATLANTA, GEORGIA |
demand exact compliance with the terms hereof. This Agreement contains the entire agreement of the parties hereto, and no representations, inducements, promises, or agreements, oral or otherwise, between the parties not embodied herein shall be of any force or effect. Any amendment to this Agreement shall not be binding upon Seller or Purchaser unless such amendment is in writing and executed by Seller and Purchaser. Subject to the provisions of Section 9.1 hereof, the provisions of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective heirs, legal representatives, successors, and permitted assigns. Time is of the essence in this Agreement. The headings inserted at the beginning of each paragraph are for convenience only, and do not add to or subtract from the meaning of the contents of each paragraph. This Agreement shall be construed, interpreted and enforced under the laws of the State of Georgia. Except as otherwise provided herein, all rights, powers, and privileges conferred hereunder upon the parties shall be cumulative but not restrictive to those given by law. All personal pronouns used in this Agreement, whether used in the masculine, feminine, or neuter gender shall include all genders, and all references herein to the singular shall include the plural and vice versa.
12.11. Like-Kind Exchange. Any of the parties hereto may desire, and each other party is willing to cooperate (subject to the limitations set forth below), to effectuate the sale of the Property by means of an exchange of like-kind property which will qualify as such under Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the regulations promulgated thereunder. Each party expressly reserves the right to assign its rights, but not its obligations, hereunder to a qualified intermediary as provided in I.R.C. Reg. 1.1031(k)-1(g)(4) on or before the date of Closing. Upon written notice from any party (a Requesting Party) to the other, the party to whom such notice is given (the Other Party) agrees to cooperate with such Requesting Party to effect one or more like-kind exchanges with respect to the Property, provided that such cooperation shall be subject to the following conditions: (a) such exchange shall not delay the Closing and shall occur either simultaneously with the Closing or the purchase money proceeds payable to Seller shall be paid, upon Sellers prior written direction to Purchaser, to a third party escrow agent or intermediary such that Purchaser shall not be required to participate in any subsequent closing, (b) the Other Party shall not be obligated to spend any sums or incur any expenses in excess of the sums and expenses which would have been spent or incurred by the Other Party if there had been no exchange, and (c) Purchaser shall not be obligated to acquire or accept title to any property other than the Property, and Seller shall not be obligated to acquire or accept title to any property. The Other Party makes no representation or warranty that the conveyance of any Property made pursuant to this Section 12.11 shall qualify for a like-kind exchange. Once Purchaser has paid the purchase money proceeds as directed by Seller (if Seller is the Requesting Party), or Seller has conveyed the Property as directed by Purchaser (if Purchaser is the Requesting Party), the Other Party shall have no further obligation hereunder with respect to such like-kind exchange. Each Requesting Party hereby indemnifies and holds the Other Party harmless from and against any costs, liabilities and expenses incurred or suffered by the Other Party in connection with the like-kind exchange or exchanges described herein with respect to the Property, which indemnity shall survive the Closing until the expiration of any applicable statute of limitations.
12.12. Attorneys Fees. If Purchaser or Seller bring an action at law or equity against the other in order to enforce the provisions of this Agreement or as a result of an alleged default
PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT | 34 | |||
PACES PAVILION | ||||
ATLANTA, GEORGIA |
under this Agreement, the prevailing party in such action shall be entitled to recover court costs and reasonable attorneys fees actually incurred from the other.
12.13. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which when taken together shall constitute one and the same original. To facilitate the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the parties may execute and exchange counterparts of the signature pages by facsimile, and the signature page of either party to any counterpart may be appended to any other counterpart.
12.14. Effective Agreement. The submission of this Agreement for examination is not intended to nor shall constitute an offer to sell, or a reservation of, or option or proposal of any kind for the purchase of the Property. In no event shall any draft of this Agreement create any obligation or liability, it being understood that this Agreement shall be effective and binding only when a counterpart of this Agreement has been executed and delivered by each party hereto.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Agreement as of the day, month and year first above written.

W I T N E S S E T H:
WHEREAS, Purchaser and Seller have entered into that certain Purchase and Sale Agreement, dated as of , 2006 (the Contract) regarding the purchase and sale of certain improved real property consisting of that certain Unit designated and described as Convertible Space under the Condominium Declaration (as defined in the Contract), and commonly known as Suites 100, 130, 229, 230, 250, 326, 328 and 329 at Paces Pavilion, Atlanta, Fulton County, Georgia (the Property); and
WHEREAS, Paragraph 2.3 of the Contract provides for Purchasers payment to Escrow Agent, within three (3) business days following execution and delivery by Seller and Purchaser of the Contract, of One Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($100,000.00 U.S.) as the Initial Earnest Money (as defined in the Contract) to be held and applied by said Escrow Agent in accordance with this Agreement and the Contract; and
WHEREAS, the Contract provides for Purchasers payment to Escrow Agent, no later than the expiration of the Inspection Period (as defined in the Contract) of the additional sum of One Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($100,000.00 U.S.) as the Additional Earnest Money (as defined in the Contract) and for the possible payment to Escrow Agent of certain additional Earnest Money in connection with the extension of the Closing Date under the Contract; and
WHEREAS, the parties hereto desire to set forth the terms and conditions of Escrow Agents holding, investment and disbursement of the Escrow Funds (as hereinafter defined).
NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the agreements set forth in the Contract and the mutual covenants set forth herein, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:
1. Escrow Agent does hereby acknowledge receipt of a wire transfer, payable to the order of Escrow Agent, in the amount of One Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($100,000.00 U.S.) as the Initial Earnest Money (as defined in the Contract). Said Initial Earnest Money, together with any additional earnest money actually deposited by Purchaser with Escrow Agent pursuant to the terms of the Contract, all interest and other income earned on the Initial Earnest Money, any such additional earnest money and interest thereon, is herein referred to as
PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT | EXHIBIT D | |||
PACES PAVILION | FORM OF ESCROW AGREEMENT | |||

the Escrow Funds. Escrow Agent hereby agrees to hold, administer and disburse the Escrow Funds pursuant to this Agreement and the Contract. Escrow Agent shall invest the Escrow Funds in a Cash Investment Account at Wachovia Bank of Georgia, in Atlanta, Georgia. All interest or other income shall be earned for the account of Purchaser and shall be held, invested and disbursed as a part of the Escrow Funds hereunder. Purchasers Federal Identification Number is #58-1890431; and Sellers Federal Identification Number is #58-1565512. Escrow Agents fee, if any, for services rendered hereunder shall be paid one-half (1/2) by Purchaser and one-half (1/2) by Seller.
2. At such time as Escrow Agent receives written notice from either Purchaser or Seller, or any of them, setting forth the identity of the party to whom such Escrow Funds (or portions thereof) are to be disbursed and further setting forth the specific section or paragraph of the Contract pursuant to which the disbursement of such Escrow Funds (or portions thereof) is being requested, Escrow Agent shall disburse such Escrow Funds pursuant to such notice; provided, however, that if such notice is given by either Purchaser or Seller but not both, Escrow Agent shall (i) promptly notify the other party (either Purchaser or Seller, as the case may be) that Escrow Agent has received a request for disbursement, and (ii) withhold disbursement of such Escrow Funds for a period of ten (10) days after receipt of such notice of disbursement and if Escrow Agent receives within said ten (10) day period either (A) a written notice from the party that submitted the request for disbursement which notice countermands the earlier notice of disbursement, or (B) a written notice from the other party that conflicts with the request for disbursement given by the party submitting such request, then Escrow Agent shall withhold such disbursement until Purchaser and Seller can agree upon a disbursement of such Escrow Funds. Purchaser and Seller hereby agree to send to the other, pursuant to Paragraph 6 below, a duplicate copy of any written notice sent to Escrow Agent and requesting any such disbursement or countermanding a request for disbursement.
3. In performing any of its duties hereunder, Escrow Agent shall not incur any liability to anyone for any damages, losses, or expenses, except for willful default, gross negligence, fraud or breach of trust, and it shall accordingly not incur any such liability with respect to (i) any action taken or omitted in good faith upon advice of its legal counsel given with respect to any questions relating to the duties and responsibilities of Escrow Agent under this Agreement, or (ii) any action taken or omitted in reliance upon any instrument, including any written notice or instruction provided for in this Agreement, not only as to its due execution and the validity and effectiveness of its provisions but also as to the truth and accuracy of any information contained therein, which Escrow Agent shall in good faith believe to be genuine, to have been signed or presented by a proper person or persons, and to conform with the provisions of this Agreement.
4. Notwithstanding the provisions of Paragraph 2 above, in the event of a dispute between or among Purchaser and Seller sufficient in the sole discretion of Escrow Agent to justify its doing so or in the event that Escrow Agent has not disbursed the Escrow Funds on or before December 15, 2006, Escrow Agent shall be entitled to tender the Escrow Funds into the registry or custody of any court of competent jurisdiction, together with such legal pleadings as it may deem appropriate, and thereupon be discharged from all further duties and liabilities under this Agreement. Any such legal action may be brought in such court as Escrow Agent shall
PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT | 2 | EXHIBIT D | ||
PACES PAVILION | FORM OF ESCROW AGREEMENT | |||
ATLANTA, GEORGIA |
determine to have jurisdiction thereof. The actual and reasonable costs and expenses (including actual and reasonable attorneys fees) incurred by Escrow Agent in connection with tendering the Escrow Funds to such court may be deducted from the Escrow Funds.
5. Purchaser and Seller hereby jointly and severally agree to indemnify and hold Escrow Agent harmless against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable costs of investigation and legal counsel fees, which may be imposed upon Escrow Agent or incurred by Escrow Agent in connection with the performance of its duties hereunder, including, without limitation, any litigation arising from this Agreement or involving the subject matter hereof.

INSTRUCTIONS
This form is provided to be executed by the Transferor and furnished to the Buyer to establish Georgia residency, such that withholding from the proceeds of the sale of property are not subject to the withholding laws of this State. (See O.C.G.A. §48-7-128.)
Transferors are not subject to withholding from the proceeds of sale if either they reside in Georgia, or they are deemed to be a Georgia resident by virtue of the fact that they have filed Georgia tax returns in the preceding two years, do business or own property in Georgia, intend to file a Georgia Tax return for the current year, and if a corporation or limited partnership, are registered to do business in this State.
Transferee is not required to withhold if this affidavit (or one in substantially the same form) is submitted to the Department in lieu of a withholding tax return.
The Transferor is to execute this affidavit by placing an initial in the blanket preceding statements which apply.
Transferor is exempt from withholding on the sale of property because:
X | Transferor is a resident of Georgia. |
Transferor is not a resident of Georgia, but is deemed a resident for purposes of withholding by virtue of the following:
| Transferor is a nonresident who has filed Georgia tax returns for the preceding two years; and |
| Transferor is an established business in Georgia and will continue substantially the same business in Georgia after the sale OR the Transferor has real property in the State at the time of closing of equal or greater value than the withholding tax liability as measured by the 100% property tax assessment of such remaining property; and |
| Transferor will report the sale on a Georgia Income Tax return for the current year and file by its due date; and |
| If Transferor is a corporation or limited partnership, Transferor is registered to do business in Georgia. |
