(b) At Closing, the balance of the Purchase Price, after applying, as partial payment of the Purchase Price the Earnest Money paid by Escrow Agent to Sellers, and subject to prorations and other adjustments specified in this Agreement, shall be paid by Purchaser in immediately available funds to the Title Company, for further delivery to an account or accounts designated by Sellers. If the amount due from Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement is not received by the Title Company on or before the later of 3:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time or in sufficient time for reinvestment on the Closing Date, then the Closing shall be delayed by one (1) Business Day, but in no event whatsoever beyond the Outside Closing Date; provided, however, that if the day set for Closing is the outside date for Closing (after taking into account all applicable extensions of such date pursuant to this Agreement; it being understood and agreed, however, that in no event shall the Closing Date occur later than the Outside Closing Date), then in such event, (x) the Closing shall not be delayed but shall occur on such day so long as the amount due from Purchaser is received by the Title Company in immediately available funds by the close of business on such day, and Purchaser shall reimburse Sellers for loss of interest due to the inability to reinvest Sellers’ funds on the Closing Date, calculated at the rate of eight percent (8%) per annum (calculated on a per diem basis, using a 365-day year), or (y) if the amount due from Purchaser has not been received by the Title Company in immediately available funds by the close of business on such day, Closing shall not be delayed, Purchaser shall be in default hereunder, and Sellers may exercise any and all remedies available to Sellers on account of such default. Notwithstanding the foregoing, as long as all wires necessary to pay amounts due from Purchaser as aforesaid (which are wired to the Title Company as set forth above), are initiated by noon on the First Closing Date, the First Adjourned Closing Date or the Outside Closing Date, as applicable, and Purchaser has authorized the Title Company to disburse the amounts received from Purchaser upon receipt of said funds, Purchaser shall not be responsible for interest as set forth in subsection (x) above or in default as set forth in subsection (y) above. The provisions of the preceding sentence of this Section 2.4(b) shall survive the Closing.

2.5 Independent Contract Consideration. In addition to, and not in lieu of the delivery to Escrow Agent of the Earnest Money, concurrently with Purchaser’s execution and delivery of this Agreement to Sellers, Purchaser shall deliver to Sellers Purchaser’s check, payable to the order to Sellers, in the amount of Ten and No/100 Dollars ($10.00). Sellers and Purchaser hereby mutually acknowledge and agree that said sum represents adequate bargained for consideration for Sellers’ execution and delivery of this Agreement and Purchaser’s right to inspect the Properties pursuant to Article 3. Said sum is in addition to and independent of any other consideration or payment provided for in this Agreement and is nonrefundable in all events.

2.6 Closing. The consummation of the sale by Sellers and purchase by Purchaser of the Properties (the “Closing”) shall be held on or before February 21, 2006 (the “First Closing Date”); provided, however that Purchaser shall have the right, by written notice to Sellers delivered no later than February 15, 2006, to adjourn the Closing to a date specified in Purchaser’s notice, but not later than the First Adjourned Closing Date of March 8, 2006, if Purchaser’s lender is not prepared to close by February 21, 2006 any loan or loans to be obtained by Purchaser; provided further, however, that if and only if (a) Purchaser shall have delivered to Sellers no later than February 6, 2006 the completed forms of all SNDAs to be submitted by Sellers to each applicable tenant and (b) Purchaser has not received an executed SNDA in a form reasonably acceptable to Purchaser’s lender from each of the Major Tenants prior to the First Adjourned Closing Date, Purchaser shall have the right by written notice to Sellers delivered no later than the First Adjourned Closing Date, to adjourn the Closing to a date specified in Purchaser’s notice, but not later than the earlier to occur of (i) the Outside Closing Date of March 22, 2006, or (ii) two (2) Business Days after Purchaser’s receipt of SNDAs from the Major Tenants. Subject to the foregoing, the Closing shall take place at an office in the metropolitan Atlanta, Georgia, area, and at such specific place, time and date (the “Closing Date”) as shall be designated by Purchaser in a written notice to Sellers not less than three (3) Business Days prior to Closing. If Purchaser fails to give such notice of the Closing Date, the Closing shall be at the offices of the Title Company, 4170 Ashford Dunwoody Road, Suite 460, Atlanta, Georgia 30399, at 10:00 a.m. on February 21, 2006 (unless Purchaser shall elect by written notice timely given as set forth above to adjourn the Closing to a date not later than the First Adjourned Closing Date or the Outside Closing Date, as the case may be). It is contemplated that the transaction shall be closed with the concurrent delivery of the documents of title and the payment of the Purchase Price. Notwithstanding the foregoing, there shall be no requirement that Sellers and Purchaser physically meet for the Closing, and all documents and funds to be delivered at the Closing shall be delivered to the Title Company unless the parties hereto mutually agree otherwise. Sellers and Purchaser agree to use reasonable efforts to complete all requirements for the Closing prior to the Closing Date.

ARTICLE 3

PURCHASER’S INSPECTION AND REVIEW RIGHTS

3.1 Due Diligence Inspections.

(a) From and after the Effective Date until the Closing Date or earlier termination of the inspection rights of Purchaser under this Agreement, Sellers shall permit Purchaser and its authorized representatives to inspect the Properties, to perform due diligence and environmental investigations, to examine the records of Sellers with respect to the Properties, and make copies

 

11


thereof, at such times during normal business hours as Purchaser or its representatives may request. All such inspections shall be nondestructive in nature, and specifically shall not include any physically intrusive testing. All such inspections shall be performed in such a manner to minimize any interference with the business of the tenants under the Leases, and, in each case, in compliance with the rights and obligations of Sellers as landlord under their respective Leases. Purchaser agrees that Purchaser shall make no contact with and shall not interview any tenants without at least two (2) Business Days’ advance written notice to Sellers. All inspection fees, appraisal fees, engineering fees and all other costs and expenses of any kind incurred by Purchaser relating to the inspection of the Properties shall be solely Purchaser’s expense. Sellers reserve the right to have a representative present at the time of making any such inspection and at the time of any such interviews with the tenants. Purchaser shall notify Sellers not less than two (2) Business Days in advance of making any such inspection.

(b) If the Closing is not consummated hereunder, Purchaser shall promptly deliver to Sellers (if contractually permitted to do so) copies of all reports, surveys and other information furnished to Purchaser by third parties in connection with such inspections; provided, however, that delivery of such copies and information shall be without warranty or representation whatsoever, express or implied, including, without limitation, any warranty or representation as to ownership, accuracy, adequacy or completeness thereof or otherwise. Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to avoid any contractual obligations prohibiting the delivery to Sellers of copies of such reports, surveys and information. This Section 3.1(b) shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

(c) To the extent that Purchaser or any of its representatives, agents or contractors damages or disturbs either Property or any portion thereof, Purchaser shall return the same to substantially the same condition which existed immediately prior to such damage or disturbance. Purchaser hereby agrees to and shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless each Seller from and against any and all expense, loss or damage which such Seller may incur (including, without limitation, reasonable attorney’s fees actually incurred) as a result of any act or omission of Purchaser or its representatives, agents or contractors. Said indemnification shall not extend to pre-existing conditions merely discovered by Purchaser. Said indemnification agreement shall survive the Closing, or earlier termination of this Agreement. Purchaser shall maintain and shall ensure that Purchaser’s consultants and contractors maintain commercial general liability insurance in an amount not less than $2,000,000, combined single limit, and in form and substance adequate to insure against all liability of Purchaser and its consultants and contractors, respectively, and each of their respective agents, employees and contractors, arising out of inspections and testing of the Properties or any part thereof made on Purchaser’s behalf. Purchaser agrees to provide to Sellers a certificate of insurance with regard to each applicable liability insurance policy prior to any entry upon either Property by Purchaser or its consultants or contractors, as the case may be, pursuant to this Section 3.1.

3.2 Deliveries by Sellers to Purchaser; Purchaser’s Access to Property Records of Seller.

(a) Sellers and Purchaser acknowledge that all of the following (the Due Diligence Deliveries) either have been or shall be delivered or made available to Purchaser to the extent the same are in the possession of Sellers (and Purchaser further acknowledges that no additional items are required to be delivered by Sellers to Purchaser except as may be expressly set forth in other provisions of this Agreement):

 

  (i) Copies of current property tax bills with respect to each Property.

  (xi) Copies of certificates of occupancy in the possession of each Seller with respect to the Property owned by such Seller; it being acknowledged by Sellers that as of the Effective Date, Sellers have not located copies of any certificate of occupancy for the Funds VI, VII and VIII Improvements. Fund VI, VII and VIII JV agrees to use diligent good faith efforts to locate any such certificate of occupancy and to deliver copies of the same to Purchaser promptly upon obtaining the same.

(b) From the Effective Date until the last Closing Date under this Agreement, or earlier termination of this Agreement, Sellers shall allow Purchaser and Purchaser’s representatives, on reasonable advance notice and during normal business hours, to have access to each such Seller’s existing non-confidential books, records and files relating to the Property owned by such Seller, at the office of Sellers at 6200 The Corners Parkway, Norcross, Georgia 30092, for the purpose of inspecting and (at Purchaser’s expense) copying the same, including, without limitation, copies of any financial statements or other financial information of the tenants under the Leases (and the lease guarantors, if any), written information relative to the tenants’ payment history, and tenant correspondence, to the extent the applicable Seller has the same in its possession; available surveys, construction plans and specifications, copies of any permits, licenses or other similar documents, available records of any operating costs and expenses and similar materials relating to the construction, operation, maintenance, repair, management and leasing of the Property owned by such Seller, to the extent any or all of the same are in the possession of such Seller or such Seller’s attorneys, advisors or consultants, subject, however, to the limitations of any confidentiality or nondisclosure agreement to which such Seller may be bound, and provided that such Seller shall not be required to deliver or make available to Purchaser any appraisals, third party property condition

Alternatively, at Purchaser’s request and at Purchaser’s cost and expense, and subject to the provisions hereof, such Seller will make copies of non-confidential and non-proprietary due diligence materials relating to the Property of such Seller as may be reasonably requested by Purchaser in writing and as may be in such Seller’s possession, and will deliver the same to Purchaser. Purchaser acknowledges and agrees, however, that neither Seller makes any representation or warranty of any nature whatsoever, express or implied, with respect to the ownership, enforceability, accuracy, adequacy or completeness or otherwise of any of such records, evaluations, data, investigations, reports or other materials. If the Closing contemplated hereunder fails to take place for any reason, Purchaser shall promptly return (or certify as having destroyed) all copies of materials copied from the books, records and files of Sellers or furnished by Sellers or Sellers’ representatives relating to the Properties. It is understood and agreed that Sellers shall not have any obligation to obtain, commission or prepare any such books, records, files, reports or studies not now in the possession or control of Sellers.

3.3 Condition of the Property.

(a) Each Seller recommends that Purchaser employ one or more independent engineering and/or environmental professionals to perform engineering, environmental and physical assessments on Purchaser’s behalf in respect of the Properties and the condition thereof. Purchaser and Sellers mutually acknowledge and agree that the Properties are being sold in an “AS IS” condition and “WITH ALL FAULTS,” known or unknown, contingent or existing. Purchaser has the sole responsibility to fully inspect the Properties, to investigate all matters relevant thereto, including, without limitation, the condition of the Properties, 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 Properties. Effective as of the Closing and except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, Purchaser hereby waives and releases each Seller and its officers, directors, shareholders, partners, agents, affiliates, employees and successors and assigns from and against any and all claims, obligations and liabilities arising out of or in connection with the Property owned by such Seller.

(b) To the fullest extent permitted by law, Purchaser does hereby unconditionally waive and release each Seller and its officers, directors, shareholders, partners, agents, affiliates and employees from any present or future claims and liabilities of any nature arising from or relating to the presence or alleged presence of Hazardous Substances in, on, at, from, under or about the Property owned by such Seller or any adjacent property, including, without limitation, any claims under or on account of any Environmental Law, regardless of whether such Hazardous Substances are located in, on, at, from, under or about the Property or any adjacent property prior to or after the date hereof (collectively, “Environmental Liabilities”); provided, however, that the foregoing release as it applies to each Seller, its officers, directors, shareholders, partners, agents, affiliates and employees, shall not release such Seller or its general partners from any Environmental Liabilities of (i) such Seller relating to any Hazardous Substances which may be placed, located or released on the Property by such Seller after the date of Closing, or (ii) the general partners of such Seller relating to any Hazardous Substances which may be placed, located or released on the Property by such Seller after the date of Closing. The terms and provisions of this Section 3.3 shall survive the Closing.

3.4 Title and Survey. Prior to execution of this Agreement, Sellers ordered from the Title Company a preliminary owner’s title commitment with respect to each of the Properties issued in favor of Purchaser (each, a “Title Commitment,” and together, the “Title Commitments”). Sellers have requested that the Title Company make copies of the Title Commitments, and copies of all underlying recorded exceptions referenced in the Title Commitments, available to Purchaser on the Title Company’s website. In addition, prior to the execution of this Agreement, Sellers have delivered updated as-built surveys of each Property (each, a “Survey” and together, the “Surveys”) to Purchaser. Purchaser shall have the responsibility for obtaining any revisions or updates to the Title Commitments and Surveys as Purchaser may deem necessary or desirable. Purchaser shall have until January 30, 2006 to give written notice (the “Title Notice”) to the applicable Seller of such objections as Purchaser may have to any exceptions to title disclosed in the Title Commitments or in the Surveys or otherwise in Purchaser’s examination of title. Sellers shall have the right, but not the obligation (except as to Monetary Objections affecting such Seller’s Property), to attempt to remove, satisfy or otherwise cure any exceptions to title to which the Purchaser so objects. Within three (3) Business Days after receipt of Purchaser’s Title Notice, each Seller shall give written notice to Purchaser informing the Purchaser of Seller’s election with respect to such objections. If such Seller fails to give written notice of election within such three (3) Business Day period, such Seller shall be deemed to have elected not to attempt to cure the objections (other than Monetary Objections affecting such Seller’s Property). If such Seller elects to attempt to cure any objections, Sellers shall be entitled to one or more reasonable adjournments of the Closing of up to but not beyond the tenth (10th) day following the initial date set for the Closing to attempt such cure (subject to the Outside Closing Date), but, except for Monetary Objections affecting such Seller’s Property, such Seller shall not be obligated to expend any sums, commence any suits or take any other action to effect such cure. Except as to Monetary Objections affecting such Seller’s Property, if such Seller elects, or is deemed to have elected, not to cure any exceptions to title to which Purchaser has objected or if, after electing to attempt to cure, such Seller determines that it is unwilling or unable to remove, satisfy or otherwise cure any such exceptions, Purchaser’s sole remedy hereunder in such event shall be either (i) to accept title to each Property subject to such exceptions as if Purchaser had not objected thereto and without reduction of the Purchase Price, or (ii) to terminate this Agreement within three (3) Business Days after receipt of written notice from either Seller either of Seller’s election not to attempt to cure any objection or of such Seller’s determination, having previously elected to attempt to cure, that such Seller is unable or unwilling to do so, whereupon Escrow Agent shall return the Earnest Money to Purchaser. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Agreement, each Seller shall be obligated to cure or satisfy all Monetary Objections affecting such Seller’s Property at or prior to Closing, and Sellers may use the proceeds of the Purchase Price at Closing for such purpose.

3.5 Service Contracts. Prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period, Purchaser will designate in a written notice to Sellers which Service Contracts Purchaser will assume and which Service Contracts will be terminated by the applicable Seller at Closing; provided, however, that Sellers shall not be obligated to terminate, and Purchaser shall assume each Seller’s obligations arising from and after Closing under, all Service Contracts which cannot be terminated by such Seller upon no more than thirty (30) days prior notice or which can be terminated by such Seller only upon payment of a fee, premium, penalty or other form of early termination compensation. Purchaser will assume the obligations arising from and after the Closing Date under those Service

 

15


Contracts which Purchaser has designated will not be terminated. Each Seller, without cost to Purchaser, shall terminate at Closing all Service Contracts that are not so assumed, to the extent any relates to the Property owned by such Seller. If Purchaser fails to notify either Seller in writing on or prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period of any Service Contracts that Purchaser does not desire to assume at Closing, Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected to assume all such Service Contracts and to have waived its right to require such Seller to terminate such Service Contracts at Closing.

3.6 Termination of Agreement. Purchaser shall have until the expiration of the Inspection Period to determine, in Purchaser’s sole opinion and discretion, the suitability of the Properties for acquisition by Purchaser or Purchaser’s permitted assignee. Purchaser shall have the right to terminate this Agreement at any time on or before said time and date of expiration of the Inspection Period by giving written notice to Sellers of such election to terminate. If Purchaser so elects to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 3.6, Escrow Agent shall pay the Earnest Money to Purchaser, whereupon, except for those provisions of this Agreement which by their express terms survive the termination of this Agreement, no party hereto shall have any other or further rights or obligations under this Agreement. If Purchaser fails to so terminate this Agreement prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period, Purchaser shall have no further right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 3.6. The parties acknowledge that this Agreement shall not be void or voidable for lack of mutuality.

3.7 Confidentiality. All information acquired by Purchaser or any of its designated representatives (including by way of example, but not in limitation, the officers, directors, shareholders and employees of Purchaser, and Purchaser’s engineers, consultants, counsel and potential lenders, and the officers, directors, shareholders and employees of each of them) with respect to the Properties, whether delivered by Sellers or any representatives of Sellers or obtained by Purchaser as a result of its inspection and investigation of the Properties, examination of the books, records and files of such Seller in respect of the Property owned by such Seller, or otherwise (collectively, the “Due Diligence Material”) shall be used solely for the purpose of determining whether the Properties are suitable for Purchaser’s acquisition and ownership thereof and for no other purpose whatsoever. Prior to Closing, the terms and conditions which are contained in this Agreement and all Due Diligence Material which is not published as public knowledge or which is not generally available in the public domain shall be kept in strict confidence by Purchaser and shall not be disclosed to any individual or entity other than to those authorized representatives of Purchaser and Purchaser’s prospective and actual counsel, accountants, professionals, consultants, attorneys and lenders and lenders’ attorneys, consultants, counsel and advisors, who need to know the information for the purpose of assisting Purchaser in evaluating the Properties for Purchaser’s potential acquisition thereof; provided, however, that Purchaser shall have the right to disclose any such information if required by applicable law or as may be necessary in connection with any court action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement. Purchaser shall and hereby agrees to indemnify and hold each Seller harmless from and against any and all loss, liability, cost, damage or expense that either such Seller may suffer or incur (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees actually incurred) as a result of the unpermitted disclosure of any of the Due Diligence Material to any individual or entity other than an appropriate representative of Purchaser and Purchaser’s prospective and actual counsel, accountants, professionals, consultants, attorneys and lenders and lenders’ attorneys, consultants, counsel and advisors and/or the use of any Due Diligence Material for any purpose other than as herein contemplated and permitted. The foregoing indemnity shall not extend to disclosure of any Due Diligence Material (i) as may be required by applicable law to be

 

16


disclosed, or (ii) that is or becomes public knowledge other than by virtue of a breach of Purchaser’s covenant under this Section 3.7. If Purchaser or Sellers elect to terminate this Agreement pursuant to any provision hereof permitting such termination, or if the Closing contemplated hereunder fails to occur for any reason, Purchaser will promptly return to Sellers all Due Diligence Material in the possession of Purchaser and any of its representatives, and destroy all copies, notes or abstracts or extracts thereof, as well as all copies of any analyses, compilations, studies or other documents prepared by Purchaser or for its use (whether in written or electronic form) containing or reflecting any Due Diligence Material. In the event of a breach or threatened breach by Purchaser or any of its representatives of this Section 3.7, Sellers shall be entitled, in addition to other available remedies, to an injunction restraining Purchaser or its representatives from disclosing, in whole or in part, any of the Due Diligence Material and any of the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Nothing contained herein shall be construed as prohibiting or limiting Sellers from pursuing any other available remedy, in law or in equity, for such breach or threatened breach. The provisions of this Section shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, to the extent the same has not been paid prior to Closing, at Closing, Purchaser shall receive a credit against the Purchase Price in the amount of $525,648.00 (or so much thereof as may not have been paid prior to Closing), in payment of the Tenant Inducement Costs payable to American Express Travel Related Services Company, Inc. upon such tenant’s completion of construction of its tenant improvements in accordance with such tenant’s Lease, together with a credit in the amount of $174,009.00 (or so much thereof as may not have been paid prior to Closing) in payment of the balance of the leasing commission payable to Trammell Crow and Commercial Jacksonville in connection with the renewal of the American Express Travel Related Services Company Lease; and Purchaser shall assume the obligation to pay such amounts to said tenant and leasing agents when due in accordance with said Lease and Commission Agreement.

The obligations of Purchaser hereunder to consummate the transaction contemplated hereunder shall in all respects be conditioned upon the satisfaction of each of the following conditions prior to or simultaneously with the Closing, any of which may be waived by Purchaser in its sole discretion by written notice to Sellers at or prior to the Closing Date:

(a) Sellers shall have performed, in all material respects, all covenants, agreements and undertakings of Sellers contained in this Agreement;

(b) All representations and warranties of each Seller as set forth in this Agreement shall be true and correct in all material respects as of the date of this Agreement and as of Closing, provided that solely for purposes of this subparagraph such warranties and representations shall be deemed to be given without being limited to such Seller’s knowledge and without modification (by update or otherwise, as provided in Section 5.1(h) hereof); and

(c) Tenant Estoppel Certificates from each of the Major Tenants shall have been delivered to Purchaser, with each such estoppel certificate (i) to be substantially in the form attached hereto as EXHIBIT “K” (or if the Lease provides for a particular form of estoppel certificate to be given by the tenant thereunder, the Tenant Estoppel Certificate with respect to such Lease may be in the form as called for therein); (ii) to be dated within thirty (30) days prior to the First Closing Date, (iii) to confirm the terms of the applicable Lease as contained in the copies of the Leases obtained by or delivered to Purchaser, and (iv) to confirm the absence of any defaults under the applicable Lease as of the date thereof; provided however, that if the Closing of the purchase and sale of the Properties is adjourned or postponed beyond the First Closing Date set forth in Section 2.6 hereof

 

30


for any reason permitted under this Agreement or as otherwise may be agreed to by Sellers and Purchaser and Sellers theretofore shall have obtained and delivered a Tenant Estoppel Certificate meeting the requirements of this Section 6.1(c) and dated within thirty (30) days of the First Closing Date, then this condition shall be deemed satisfied and Sellers shall be under no obligation to obtain an updated Tenant Estoppel Certificate to comply with clause (ii) hereinabove. The delivery of said Tenant Estoppel Certificates from the Major Tenants under the Leases shall be a condition of Closing, and the failure or inability of either Seller to obtain and deliver said Tenant Estoppel Certificates from any Major Tenant, such Seller having used its good faith efforts to obtain the same from such Major Tenant(s) under the Leases, shall not constitute a default by such Seller under this Agreement.

In the event any condition in this Section 6.1 has not been satisfied (or otherwise waived in writing by Purchaser) prior to or on the Closing Date (as the same may be extended or postponed as provided in this Agreement), Purchaser shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to terminate this Agreement by written notice to Sellers given prior to the Closing, whereupon (i) Escrow Agent shall return the Earnest Money to Purchaser; and (ii) except for those provisions of this Agreement which by their express terms survive the termination of this Agreement, no party hereto shall have any other or further rights or obligations under this Agreement.

6.2 Conditions Precedent to Sellers’ Obligations. The obligations of Sellers hereunder to consummate the transactions contemplated hereunder shall in all respects be conditioned upon the satisfaction of each of the following conditions prior to or simultaneously with the Closing (or at such earlier time as may be provided below), any of which may be waived by Sellers in Sellers’ sole discretion by written notice to Purchaser at or prior to the Closing Date:

(a) Purchaser shall have paid and Sellers shall have received the Purchase Price, as adjusted pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, which Purchase Price shall be payable in the amount and in the manner provided for in this Agreement;

(b) Purchaser shall have performed, in all material respects, all covenants, agreements and undertakings of Purchaser contained in this Agreement; and

(c) All representations and warranties of Purchaser as set forth in this Agreement shall be true and correct in all material respects as of the date of this Agreement and as of Closing, provided that solely for purposes of this subparagraph such warranties and representations shall be deemed to be given without being limited to Purchaser’s knowledge and without modification (by update or otherwise, as provided in Section 5.2(e) hereof).

ARTICLE 7

CASUALTY AND CONDEMNATION

7.1 Casualty. Risk of loss up to and including the Closing Date shall be borne by Sellers. In the event of any immaterial damage or destruction to the Property owned by such Seller or any portion thereof, Sellers and Purchaser shall proceed to close under this Agreement, and Purchaser will receive (and the applicable Seller or Sellers whose Property or Properties was or were the subject of such damage or destruction will assign to Purchaser at the Closing such Seller’s rights under insurance policies to receive) any insurance proceeds (including any rent loss insurance applicable to any period on and after the Closing Date) due such Seller as a result of such damage or destruction (less any amounts reasonably expended for restoration or collection of proceeds) and

 

31


assume responsibility for such repair, and Purchaser shall receive a credit at Closing for any deductible amount under said insurance policy or policies. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “immaterial damage or destruction” shall be applied on a Property by Property basis and 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; (iii) which are not so extensive as to allow any Major Tenant of such Property to terminate its Lease or abate or reduce rent payable thereunder (unless business loss or rent insurance shall be available in the full amount of such abatement or reduction, subject to applicable deductibles) on account of such damage or destruction; and (iv) in which such Seller’s rights under its rent loss insurance policies covering the subject Property are assignable to Purchaser and will continue pending restoration and repair of the damage or destruction.

In the event of any material damage or destruction to any Property or any portion thereof, Purchaser may, at its option, by notice to Sellers given within the earlier of twenty (20) days after Purchaser is notified by Sellers of such damage or destruction, or the Closing Date, but in no event less than ten (10) days after Purchaser is notified by Sellers 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, receive (and such Seller will assign to Purchaser at the Closing the rights of such Seller under insurance policies to receive) any insurance proceeds (including any rent loss insurance applicable to the period on or after the Closing Date) due such Seller as a result of such damage or destruction (less any amounts reasonably expended for restoration), and assume responsibility for such repair, and Purchaser shall receive a credit at Closing for any deductible amount under said insurance policies. If Purchaser fails to deliver to Sellers 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, each applicable Seller will cooperate with Purchaser after the Closing to assist Purchaser in obtaining the insurance proceeds from the insurers of such Seller. 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 Property of a Seller 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 such Seller has received written notice that any condemnation action or proceeding with respect to the Property of such Seller is contemplated by a body having the power of eminent domain (collectively, a “Taking”), such Seller shall give Purchaser immediate written notice of such Taking. In the event of any immaterial Taking with respect to the Property of such Seller or any portion thereof, Sellers 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 a Property: (i) which do not result in a taking of any portion of the building structure of the building occupied by tenants on such Property; (ii) which do not result in a decrease in the number of parking spaces at such Property (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 any Major Tenant to terminate its Lease 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.

 

32


In the event of any material Taking of either Property or any portion thereof, Purchaser may, at its option, by written notice to Sellers given within thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice from Sellers, 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 which by their express terms survive the termination of this Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement “material Taking “ shall mean all instances of a Taking that are not immaterial, as defined herein.

If Purchaser does not elect to, or has no right to, terminate this Agreement in accordance herewith on account of a Taking, this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and the sale of the Properties contemplated by this Agreement, less any interest taken by eminent domain or condemnation, or sale in lieu thereof, shall be effected with no further adjustment and without reduction of the Purchase Price, and at the Closing, each applicable Seller shall assign, transfer, and set over to Purchaser all of the right, title, and interest of such Seller in and to any awards applicable to the Property of such Seller that have been or that may thereafter be made for such taking. 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) Sellers shall not settle or agree to any award or payment pursuant to condemnation, eminent domain, or sale in lieu thereof without obtaining Purchaser’s prior written consent thereto in each case.

ARTICLE 8

DEFAULT AND REMEDIES

8.1 Purchaser’s Default. If Purchaser fails to consummate this transaction for any reason other than the default of one or both Sellers, failure of a condition to Purchaser’s obligation to close, or the exercise by Purchaser of an express right of termination granted herein, Sellers 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 Sellers upon Purchaser’s default, and that said Earnest Money is a reasonable estimate of the probable loss of Sellers in the event of default by Purchaser. The retention by Sellers 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 Sellers in the event of default hereunder by Purchaser, and Sellers hereby waive and release 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 Purchaser’s liability for Purchaser’s obligations under Sections 3.1(b), 3.1(c), 3.7 and 10.1 of this Agreement or for Purchaser’s obligation to pay to Sellers all attorneys’ fees and costs of Sellers 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 Sellers 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 Sellers or that its retention by Sellers constitutes a penalty and not agreed upon and reasonable liquidated damages.

 

33


8.2 Sellers’ Default. If either Seller fails to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement for any reason other than Purchaser’s default or the permitted termination of this Agreement by Sellers or Purchaser as expressly provided herein, Purchaser shall be entitled, as its 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 Sellers from any and all liability hereunder, or (b) to enforce specific performance of the obligation of Sellers to execute and deliver the documents required to convey the Properties 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 Sellers hereunder. Purchaser expressly waives its rights to seek damages in the event of the default of either or both Sellers 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 the applicable Seller who is in breach of its obligations hereunder 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 which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, except in accordance with Section 12.11. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, this Agreement and all of Purchaser’s rights hereunder may be transferred and assigned to any entity controlled by Purchaser. An assignment or transfer of this Agreement and Purchaser’s rights hereunder to any entity which is not controlled by Purchaser shall be subject to Sellers’ prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed so long as the identity, reputation and creditworthiness of such other proposed assignee or nominee is approved by Sellers. If Purchaser notifies Sellers in writing prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period (no later than 6:00 P.M. EST on February 3, 2006) of a proposed assignment or transfer of this Agreement and Sellers do not consent to said assignment or transfer (regardless of when Sellers may give any such notice to Purchaser that Sellers do not consent to said proposed assignment or transfer), then the Earnest Money shall be returned to Purchaser and this Agreement shall be terminated without recourse to any party. If Purchaser notifies Sellers in writing after the expiration of the Inspection Period of a proposed assignment or transfer and Sellers do not consent to said assignment or transfer, then the Earnest Money shall be delivered to Sellers and this Agreement shall be terminated without recourse to any party. Any assignee or transferee under any such assignment or transfer by Purchaser as to which the written consent of Sellers has been given or as to which the consent of Sellers is not required hereunder shall expressly assume all of Purchaser’s duties, liabilities and obligations under this Agreement (whether arising or accruing prior to or after the assignment or transfer) by written instrument delivered to Sellers as a condition to the effectiveness of such assignment or transfer. No assignment or transfer shall relieve the original Purchaser of any duties or obligations hereunder, 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

BROKERAGE COMMISSIONS

10.1 Broker. Upon the Closing, and only in the event the Closing occurs, (a) Sellers shall pay a brokerage commission to Cushman & Wakefield of Florida, Inc., a Florida corporation (“Sellers’ Broker”), pursuant to a separate agreement between Sellers and Broker; and (b) Purchaser shall pay a brokerage commission to any broker or agent representing Purchaser in this transaction (“Purchaser’s Broker”), if applicable, pursuant to a separate agreement between Purchaser and Purchaser’s Broker, if applicable. Sellers’ Broker is representing Sellers in this transaction, and Purchaser represents to Seller that there is no Purchaser’s Broker. Each Seller shall and does hereby indemnify and hold Purchaser harmless from and against any and all liability, loss, cost, damage, and expense, including reasonable attorneys’ fees actually incurred and costs of litigation, Purchaser shall ever suffer or incur because of any claim by any agent, salesman, or broker, whether or not meritorious, for any fee, commission or other compensation with regard to this Agreement or the sale and purchase of the Properties contemplated hereby, and arising out of any acts or agreements of Sellers, including any claim asserted by Sellers’ Broker. Likewise, Purchaser shall and does hereby indemnify and hold Sellers free and harmless from and against any and all liability, loss, cost, damage, and expense, including reasonable attorneys’ fees actually incurred and costs of litigation, Sellers or either of them shall ever suffer or incur because of any claim by any agent, salesman, or broker, whether or not meritorious, for any fee, commission or other compensation with respect to this Agreement or the sale and purchase of the Properties contemplated hereby and arising out of the acts or agreements of Purchaser. This Section 10.1 shall survive the Closing until the expiration of any applicable statute of limitations and shall survive any earlier termination of this Agreement.

ARTICLE 11

INDEMNIFICATION

11.1 Indemnification by Seller. Following the Closing and subject to Sections 11.3 and 11.4, each Seller shall indemnify and hold Purchaser, its shareholders, officers, directors, employees, representatives, agents, affiliates, managers, members and partners, and the partners, shareholders, officers, directors, employees, representatives and agents of each of the foregoing (collectively, “Purchaser-Related Entities”) harmless from and against any and all costs, fees, expenses, damages, deficiencies, interest and penalties (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) suffered or incurred by any such indemnified party in connection with any and all losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses (“Losses”), arising out of, or in any way relating to, (a) any breach of any representation or warranty of such Seller contained in this Agreement or in any Closing Document, and (b) any breach of any covenant of such Seller or of Sellers jointly contained in this Agreement which survives the Closing or in any Closing Document.

11.2 Indemnification by Purchaser. Following the Closing and subject to Sections 11.3 and 11.4, Purchaser (and Purchaser’s permitted assignees to whom any rights of Purchaser are assigned pursuant to Section 9.1 hereof) shall indemnify and hold Sellers, their respective affiliates, members and partners, and the partners, shareholders, officers, directors, employees, representatives and agents of each of the foregoing (collectively, “Seller-Related Entities”) harmless from any and all Losses arising out of, or in any way relating to, (a) any breach of any representation or warranty by Purchaser contained in this Agreement or in any Closing Document, and (b) any breach of any covenant of Purchaser contained in this Agreement which survives the Closing or in any Closing Documents.

 

35


11.3 Limitations on Indemnification. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of Section 11.1, (a) no party shall be required to indemnify the other party or the Purchaser-Related Entities or the Seller-Related Entities (as applicable) under this Agreement unless the aggregate of all amounts for which an indemnity would otherwise be payable by the responsible party under Section 11.1 or Section 11.2 above (as applicable) exceeds the Basket Limitation and in such event, the responsible party shall be responsible for the entire amount including all amounts representing the Basket Limitation, (b) in no event shall the liability of Sellers, on the one hand, or Purchaser, on the other hand, with respect to the indemnification provided for in Section 11.1 or Section 11.2 (as applicable) above exceed in the aggregate the Cap Limitation, (c) if prior to the Closing, Purchaser obtains knowledge in writing of any inaccuracy or breach of any representation, warranty or covenant of either or both Sellers contained in this Agreement (a “Purchaser Waived Breach”) and nonetheless proceeds with and consummates the Closing, then Purchaser and any Purchaser-Related Entities shall be deemed to have waived and forever renounced any right to assert a claim for indemnification under this Article 11 for, or any other claim or cause of action under this Agreement, at law or in equity on account of any such Purchaser Waived Breach, and (d) notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Basket Limitation and the Cap Limitation shall not apply with respect to Losses suffered or incurred as a result of breaches of any covenant or agreement of Purchaser, Sellers or either Seller set forth in Section 5.3, Section 5.4, Section 10.1 or Section 11.6 of this Agreement.

11.4 Survival. The representations, warranties and covenants contained in this Agreement and the Closing Documents shall survive until September 30, 2006, unless a longer or shorter survival period is expressly provided for in this Agreement, or unless on or before September 30, 2006, Purchaser or Sellers (or either of them), as the case may be, delivers written notice to the other party of such alleged breach specifying with reasonable detail the nature of such alleged breach and files an action with respect thereto within one hundred twenty (120) days after the giving of such notice.

11.5 Indemnification as Sole Remedy. If the Closing has occurred, the sole and exclusive remedy available to a party in the event of a breach by the other party to this Agreement of any representation, warranty, or covenant or other provision of this Agreement or any Closing Document which survives the Closing shall be the indemnifications provided for under Section 3.1(c), Section 10.1, and this Article 11.

11.6 Anti-Terrorism Law. Each party hereto represents and warrants to the other that such party is not, and is not acting, directly or indirectly, for or on behalf of, any person or entity named as a “specially designated national and blocked person” (as defined in Presidential Executive Order 13224) on the most current list published by the U.S. Treasury Department Office of Foreign Assets Control, and that such party is not engaged in this transaction, directly or indirectly, on behalf of, and is not facilitating this transaction, directly or indirectly, on behalf of, any such person or entity. Each party also represents and warrants to the other that neither such party nor its constituents or affiliates are in violation of any laws relating to terrorism or money laundering, including the aforesaid Executive Order and the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001 (Public Law 107-56), as amended. In addition, neither Purchaser nor Sellers nor to the knowledge of Purchaser or such Seller, any person holding a direct or indirect ownership interest in Purchaser or such Seller is

 

36


described in, covered by or specially designated pursuant to, or affiliated with any person described in, covered by or specially designated pursuant to, any Anti-Terrorism Law or any list issued by any department or agency of the United States of America in connection with any Anti-Terrorism Law.

Sections 1701-06 et seq.; the Iraqi Sanctions Act, Pub.L. 101-513, 104 Stat. 2047-55; the United Nations Participation Act, 22 U.S.C.

12.3 Time Periods.

12.6 Severability. This Agreement is intended to be performed in accordance with, and only to the extent permitted by, all applicable laws, ordinances, rules and regulations. 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.

 

38


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 Sellers 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.

12.8 Sale Notification Letters. Promptly following the Closing, Purchaser shall deliver the Tenant Notices of Sale to the tenants under the Leases, and the Other Notices of Sale to each service provider and leasing agent, the obligations under whose respective Service Contracts and Commission Agreements Purchaser has assumed at Closing.

12.9 Access to Records Following Closing. Purchaser agrees that for a period of twenty-four (24) months following the Closing, Sellers shall have the right during regular business hours, on five (5) days’ written notice to Purchaser, and at Sellers’ sole cost, to examine and review at Purchaser’s office (or, at Purchaser’s election, at the respective Properties), the books and records of Sellers relating to the ownership and operation of the Properties which were delivered by Sellers to Purchaser at the Closing. Likewise, Sellers agree 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 Sellers, and at Purchaser’s sole cost, to examine and review at Sellers’ office, all books, records and files, if any, retained by Sellers relating to the ownership and operation by Sellers prior to the Closing of the Property. The provisions of this Section shall survive the Closing for a period of twenty-four (24) months year after the Closing Date.

12.10 General Provisions. No failure of either party to exercise any power given hereunder or to insist upon strict compliance with any obligation specified herein, and no custom or practice at variance with the terms hereof, shall constitute a waiver of either party’s right to 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 Sellers or Purchaser unless such amendment is in writing and executed by Sellers 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 Florida. 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

 

39


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 either or both of the Properties, 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 such Seller shall be paid, upon such Seller’s 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 Properties, and Sellers 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 Sellers (if either Seller is the Requesting Party), or such Seller has conveyed the Property of such Seller 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.

FORM OF ESCROW AGREEMENT

ESCROW AGREEMENT

THIS ESCROW AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”), made and entered into this      day of January, 2006, by and among TRANSATLANTIC INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT, INC., a Massachusetts corporation (“Purchaser”), FUND IV AND FUND V ASSOCIATES, a Georgia joint venture, and FUND VI, FUND VII AND FUND VIII ASSOCIATES, a Georgia joint venture (collectively, as “Sellers”), and CHICAGO TITLE INSURANCE COMPANY (“Escrow Agent”).

W I T N E S S E T H:

WHEREAS, Purchaser and Sellers have entered into that certain Purchase and Sale Agreement, dated as of January     , 2006 (the “Contract”) regarding the purchase and sale of certain real properties owned by Sellers, which are located at 10375 and 10407 Centurion Parkway North, Jacksonville, Duval County, Florida (each, a “Property” and together, the “Properties”); and

WHEREAS, Paragraph 2.3 of the Contract provides for Purchaser’s payment to Escrow Agent, within three (3) business days following execution and delivery by Sellers and Purchaser of the Contract, of Five Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($500,000.00 U.S.) as the Initial Earnest Money Deposit (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 Purchaser’s payment to Escrow Agent, no later than the expiration of the Inspection Period (as defined in the Contract) of the additional sum of Five Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($500,000.00 U.S.) as the Additional Earnest Money Deposit (as defined in the Contract); and

WHEREAS, the parties hereto desire to set forth the terms and conditions of Escrow Agent’s 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 Five Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($500,000.00 U.S.) as the Initial Earnest Money Deposit (as defined in the Contract). Said Initial Earnest Money Deposit, 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 Deposit, any such additional earnest money and interest thereon, is herein referred to as 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. Purchaser’s Federal Identification Number is #04 ###-###-####; and Funds IV and V JV’s Federal Identification Number is # 58 ###-###-#### and Funds VI, VII and VIII JV’s Federal Identification Number is #58 ###-###-####. Escrow Agent’s fee, if any, for services rendered hereunder shall be paid one-half (1/2) by Purchaser and one-half (1/2) by Sellers.

2. At such time as Escrow Agent receives written notice from either Purchaser or Sellers, 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 Sellers but not both, Escrow Agent shall (i) promptly notify the other party (either Purchaser or Sellers, 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 Sellers can agree upon a disbursement of such Escrow Funds. Purchaser and Sellers 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 Sellers 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 March 10, 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 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 Sellers 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.

To inform the transferee that withholding of tax is not required upon the disposition of a U.S. real property interest by [FUND IV AND FUND V ASSOCIATES] [FUND VI, FUND VII AND FUND VIII ASSOCIATES], a Georgia joint venture (the “Seller”), the Seller hereby certifies as follows:

1. The Seller is not a foreign corporation, foreign partnership, foreign trust, or foreign estate (as those terms are defined in the Internal Revenue Code and Income Tax Regulations);

2. Seller is not a disregarded entity as defined in §1.1445-2(b)(2)(iii) of the Income Tax Regulations;

3. The Seller’s U.S. employer identification number is [58 ###-###-#### (as to Funds IV and V JV)] [58 ###-###-#### (as to Funds VI, VII and VIII JV)]; and

The undersigned understands that this Certification may be disclosed to the Internal Revenue Service by transferee and that any false statement contained herein could be punished by fine, imprisonment, or both.

This Certificate is made with the knowledge that ____________________________, a________________________, will rely upon this Certificate in purchasing that certain real property from Seller more particularly described on Exhibit A attached hereto.

Under penalties of perjury I declare that I have examined this Certification and to the best of my knowledge and belief, it is true, correct and complete, and I further declare that I have authority to sign this document on behalf of the Seller.
