If necessary, the Closing Date shall be extended to permit Purchaser and Seller the opportunity to avail themselves of the entire response periods set forth hereinabove. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Agreement, Seller shall be obligated to cure or satisfy

all Monetary Objections at or prior to Closing, and may use the proceeds of the Purchase Price at Closing for such purpose. All exceptions to title to which Purchaser fails to object in accordance with this Section 3.4, and all exceptions to title which Purchaser elects (or is deemed to have elected) to accept title to the applicable Property subject to, shall be deemed to be added to, be a part of, and included as "Permitted Exceptions".

 

3.5 Service Contracts; Management Agreement. On or before the last day of the Inspection Period, Purchaser will designate in a written notice to Seller which Service Contracts Purchaser will assume and which Service Contracts will be terminated by Seller at Closing; provided, however, that Seller shall not be obligated to terminate, and Purchaser shall assume the obligations of Seller arising from and after Closing under, all Service Contracts which cannot be terminated by Seller upon no more than thirty (30) days prior notice or which can be terminated by Seller only upon payment of a fee, premium, penalty or other form of early termination compensation; further provided, however, that if such written notice from Purchaser designating which Service Contracts are to be terminated by Seller at Closing is given less than thirty (30) days prior to the Closing Date, then Seller shall give notice under those Service Contracts which can be terminated by Seller upon no more than thirty (30) days prior notice without payment of a fee, premium, penalty or other form of early termination compensation (the "Late Notice Service Contracts"), and, in addition to assuming the obligations of Seller first accruing on or after Closing under all Service Contracts which cannot be terminated by Seller upon no more than thirty (30) days prior notice or which can be terminated by Seller only upon payment of a fee, premium, penalty or other form of early termination compensation, Purchaser shall assume the obligations of Seller first accruing on or after Closing under the Late Notice Service Contracts through the effective date of such termination thereof; provided further, however, Seller shall be required to terminate all Service Contracts which are with any Seller-Related Entities. Subject to the foregoing, and taking into account any credits or prorations to be made pursuant to Article 5 hereof for payments coming due after Closing but accruing prior to Closing, Purchaser will assume the obligations arising from and after the Closing Date under those Service Contracts which Purchaser has designated will not be terminated. Subject to the foregoing, Seller, without cost to Purchaser, shall terminate at Closing the Management Agreement and all Service Contracts that are not so assumed. If Purchaser fails to notify Seller in writing on or before the last day 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 Seller to terminate such Service Contracts at Closing.

 

3.6Termination 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 Property 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 Seller 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.

 

3.7Confidentiality. 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 Property, whether delivered by Seller or any representatives of Seller or obtained by Purchaser as a result of its inspection and investigation of the Property, examination of the books, records and files of Seller in respect of the Property, or otherwise (collectively, the "Due Diligence Material") shall be used solely for the purpose of determining

whether the Property is 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, who need to know the information for the purpose of assisting Purchaser in evaluating the Property for Purchaser's potential acquisition thereof; provided, however, that prior to the disclosure of any such information, Purchaser shall cause the intended recipient of any Due Diligence Material to execute and deliver to Seller a confidentiality agreement to be provided by Seller providing, among other things, that the recipient of such information shall hold any information derived from its review of the Due Diligence Material in strict confidence. Notwithstanding the foregoing, 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 Seller harmless from and against any and all loss, liability, cost, damage or expense that 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 by Purchaser 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/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, 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 Seller 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 Seller 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, Seller 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 Seller 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.

(a)Leasing Arrangements. During the pendency of this Agreement, Seller will not enter into any lease affecting the Property, or modify or amend in any material respect, or terminate, any of the existing Leases without Purchaser's prior written consent in each instance, which consent, prior to the end of the Inspection Period, shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned; provided, however, that if any such proposed modification or amendment would require the payment of any Tenant Inducement Costs or leasing commissions, Purchaser's consent may be withheld in Purchaser's sole discretion unless such modification or amendment is pursuant to an existing provision in the subject Lease.

If Purchaser fails to notify Seller in writing of its approval or disapproval within said three (3) Business Day period, such failure by Purchaser shall be deemed to be the approval of Purchaser. After the end of the Inspection Period, Seller shall not enter into any lease affecting the Property, or modify or amend in any respect, or terminate any existing Lease without Purchaser's prior written consent in each instance, which consent may be withheld in Purchaser's sole discretion.

In the event Seller has obtained Tenant Estoppel Certificates from the Critical Tenants by the Closing Date, but Seller has not obtained a Tenant Estoppel Certificate from the tenant under the Culver Lease or the Lighthouse Lease (Seller having used commercial reasonable efforts to obtain the same), Seller shall have the right, at its election, to either (i) postpone Closing for up to thirty (30) days to

pursue said outstanding Tenant Estoppel Certificate or (ii) make a written representation and warranty to Purchaser at Closing in the certificate to be delivered pursuant to Section 5.1(o) of this Agreement with respect to the matters set forth on Exhibit M attached hereto; provided, however, (y) Seller's liability for such representation and warranty shall be limited as set forth in Sections 11.3 and 11.4 of this Agreement, and (z) such representation and warranty will become null and void and of no further force and effect if and to the extent, at any time after the delivery of such certificate, Seller receives and delivers to Purchaser said outstanding Tenant Estoppel Certificate.

(c)No Violations of Agreements. Neither the execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement by Purchaser, nor compliance with the terms and provisions hereof, will result in any breach of the terms, conditions or provisions of, or conflict with or constitute a default under the terms of any indenture, deed to secure debt, mortgage, deed of trust, note, evidence of indebtedness or any other agreement or instrument by which Purchaser is bound.

 

(d)Litigation. To Purchaser's knowledge, Purchaser has received no written notice that any action or proceeding is pending or threatened, which questions the validity of this Agreement or any action taken or to be taken pursuant hereto.

Purchaser agrees to pay to Seller, upon receipt, any rents or other payments by a tenant under its Lease that apply to periods prior to Closing but are received by Purchaser after Closing; provided, however, that any delinquent rents or other payments by tenants shall be applied first to any current amounts owing by such tenants from and after Closing, then to delinquent rents in the order in which such rents are most recently past due, with the balance, if any, paid over to Seller to the extent of delinquencies existing at the time of Closing to which Seller is entitled; it being 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 or any portion thereof, which are delinquent or past due as of the Closing Date; but Purchaser agrees that Purchaser shall send 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. Any reimbursements payable by a tenant under the terms of its Lease as of the Closing Date, which reimbursements pertain to such tenant's pro rata share of increased operating expenses or common area maintenance costs incurred at any time prior to the Closing, shall be prorated upon Purchaser's actual receipt of any such reimbursements, on the basis of the number of days of Seller's and Purchaser's respective ownership of the Property during the period in respect of which such reimbursements are payable; and Purchaser agrees to pay to Seller Seller's pro rata portion of such reimbursements within thirty (30) days after Purchaser's receipt thereof. Conversely, if a tenant under its Lease shall become entitled at any time after Closing to a refund of tenant reimbursements actually paid by such tenant prior to Closing, then, Seller shall, within thirty (30) days following Purchaser's demand therefor, pay to Purchaser an amount equal to Seller's pro rata share of such reimbursement refund obligations, said proration to be calculated on the same basis as hereinabove set forth. Seller hereby retains its right to pursue such tenant under its Lease for sums due Seller for periods attributable to Seller's ownership of the

Property; provided, however, that Seller (i) shall be required to notify Purchaser in writing of its intention to commence or pursue such legal proceedings, and to provide Purchaser with copies of all correspondence with such tenant relative to such proceedings; (ii) shall only be permitted to commence or pursue any legal proceedings after the date which is three (3) months after Closing, except that Seller shall be entitled to continue to pursue any legal proceedings commenced prior to Closing; and (iii) shall not be permitted to commence or pursue any legal proceedings against any tenant seeking eviction of such tenant or the termination of the applicable Lease. The provisions of this Section 5.4(c) shall survive the Closing for a period of one hundred eighty (180) days following Closing.

 

(d)Security Deposits. Purchaser shall receive at Closing a credit for all Security Deposits transferred and assigned to Purchaser at Closing in connection with the Leases, together with a detailed inventory of such Security Deposits certified by Seller at Closing.

 

(e)Free Rent. The Tenant under the AVNET Lease (as defined in Exhibit "C" attached hereto and made a part hereof) is entitled to an abatement of Base Rent for the period through September 23, 2011. If Closing occurs by May 31, 2011, Purchaser shall receive at Closing a credit in the fixed amount of $215,499.73 (the "Fixed Credit Amount") representing the Base Rental abatement under the AVNET Lease. If Closing occurs on or after June 1, 2011, Purchaser shall receive at Closing a credit equal to the Fixed Credit Amount minus $1,592.36 per day for each day commencing June 1, 2011 until Closing occurs, as and for the Base Rental abatement under the AVNET Lease.

 

(f)Operating Expenses. Personal property taxes, installment payments of special assessment liens, vault charges, and normally prorated operating expenses actually paid or payable 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 taxes, charges and expenses affecting the Property which may have accrued or been incurred prior to the Closing Date, but not collected or paid at that date. In addition, within ninety (90) days after the close of the fiscal year(s) used in calculating the pass-through to the tenant of operating expenses and/or common area maintenance costs under the Lease (where such fiscal year(s) include(s) the Closing Date), Seller and Purchaser shall, upon the request of either, re-prorate on a fair and equitable basis in order to adjust for the effect of any credits or payments due to or from the tenant for periods prior to the Closing Date. All prorations shall be made based on the number of calendar days in such year or month, as the case may be. Notwithstanding the foregoing, personal property taxes, installment payments of special assessment liens, vault charges, sewer charges, utility charges, and operating expenses shall not be prorated with respect to any Property as to which the tenant under the Lease is obligated to pay the same directly to the provider thereof. Promptly following the Closing, Seller and Purchaser shall cooperate in transferring all utility and water and sewer service accounts from Seller to Purchaser; it being understood and agreed that Seller shall be entitled to the refund of any utility deposits made by Seller and Purchaser will be responsible for payment of any deposits or security required by any utility provider. The provisions of this Section 5.4(f) shall survive the Closing for a period of two hundred seventy (270) days following Closing.

 

(g)Repair to Generator Switch. Prior to the execution hereof, Seller has delivered to Purchaser a copy of that certain proposal by Power Tech Electric dated April 5, 2011, as executed on behalf of Seller, related to the replacement of a transfer switch in the Building (the "Transfer Switch Proposal"), the terms of which Seller has agreed to pay Power Tech Electric the sum of $28,997.00 to complete the repair and other work identified in the Transfer Switch Proposal (the “Transfer Switch Work”). The parties recognize that the Transfer Switch Work is an obligation of Seller under the AVNET Lease which may not be completed prior to Closing in which event, at Closing, Purchaser shall receive a credit for all unpaid portions of the Transfer Switch Work up to $28,997.00, and Seller shall assign the Transfer Switch Proposal to Purchaser,

and Purchaser shall assume all of the obligations of Seller under the Transfer Switch Proposal.

6.1Conditions Precedent to Purchaser's Obligations. 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 Seller at or prior to the Closing Date:

 

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

 

(b)All representations and warranties of 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 Seller's knowledge and without modification (by update or otherwise, as provided in Section 5.1(g) hereof); and

 

(c)The Tenant Estoppel Certificates from the Critical Tenants shall have been delivered to Purchaser. The delivery of said Tenant Estoppel Certificates from the Critical Tenants shall be a condition of Closing, and the failure or inability of Seller to obtain and deliver said Tenant Estoppel Certificates, Seller having used its commercially reasonable and good faith efforts to obtain the same from the tenants under all of the Leases, shall not constitute a default by 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 to terminate this Agreement by written notice to Seller 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.

6.2Conditions Precedent to Seller's Obligations. The obligations of Seller 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 Seller in Seller's sole discretion by written notice to Purchaser at or prior to the Closing Date:

 

(a)Purchaser shall have paid and Seller 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; it being understood and agreed for purposes of the foregoing, the payment of the Purchase Price shall be deemed to have occurred when Escrow Agent shall have confirmed receipt of all documents and funds necessary to effect the Closing in accordance with all escrow instructions provided by Seller, Purchaser, Purchaser's lender (if any), and Escrow Agent shall have been unconditionally and irrevocably authorized by all requisite parties to consummate the Closing and to initiate a wire transfer of the Purchase Price to Seller pursuant to Seller's instructions.

 

(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(c) hereof); and

 

7.1Casualty. 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 or any portion thereof, Seller and Purchaser shall proceed to close under this Agreement, and Purchaser will receive (and Seller will assign to Purchaser at the Closing 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 Seller as a result of such damage or destruction (less any amounts reasonably expended for restoration or collection of proceeds) and assume responsibility for such repair, and Purchaser shall receive a credit at Closing for any deductible amount under said insurance policies. For purposes of this Agreement, the term "immaterial damage or destruction" shall mean such instances of damage or destruction of the Property: (i) which can be repaired or restored at a cost of $500,000.00 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 tenant to terminate its Lease on account of such damage or destruction; and (iv) in which Seller's rights under its rent loss insurance policies covering the 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 the Property or any portion thereof, Purchaser may, at its option, by notice to Seller given within thirty (30) 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 30-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 Seller will assign to Purchaser at the Closing the rights of 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 Seller as a result of such damage or destruction (less any amounts reasonably expended for restoration or collection of proceeds), 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 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 (or is deemed to have elected) clause (ii) above, Seller will cooperate with Purchaser after the Closing to assist Purchaser in obtaining the insurance proceeds from the insurers of 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.

7.2Condemnation. If, prior to the Closing, all or any part of the Property or access thereto from all public rights-of-way are 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 Property or access thereto from all public rights-of-way are 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 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 at the 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 a tenant under its Lease to terminate such Lease on account of such Taking.

 

In the event of any material Taking of 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 (and if necessary the Closing Date shall be extended to give Purchaser the full 30-day period to make such election), elect to terminate this Agreement. 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 Property 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, Seller shall assign, transfer, and set over to Purchaser all of the right, title, and interest of Seller in and to any awards applicable to the Property that have been or that may thereafter be made for such taking. At such time as all or a part of the 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 Purchaser's prior written consent thereto in each case.

8.1Purchaser's Default. If Purchaser fails to consummate this transaction for any reason other than the default of Seller, failure of a condition to Purchaser's obligation to close, or the exercise by Purchaser of an express right of termination granted herein, Seller shall be entitled, as its 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 Purchaser's 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 it 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(c), 3.7 and 10.1 of this Agreement or for Purchaser's obligation to pay to Seller all attorney's 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.

 

8.2Seller's Default. If 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 Seller or Purchaser as expressly provided herein, Purchaser shall be entitled, as its sole and exclusive 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; provided, however, that in the event, and only in the event, such default by Seller was willful and intentional and Purchaser receives the return of the Earnest Money, then Seller shall pay to Purchaser its actual out-of-pocket expenditures incurred directly in conducting due diligence activities contemplated under this Agreement and in negotiating and finalizing this Agreement not to exceed $50,000, 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. Except as expressly set forth in this Section 8.2 to the contrary, 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.

9.1Assignment. 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. 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 or to any entity which has invested with affiliates of Purchaser in other commercial real estate investment assets sponsored by Purchaser without Seller's consent, and which assignee shall be designated in writing by Purchaser by the delivery to Seller of a written assignment of this Agreement. Purchaser represents and warrants that such assignee is not acting, directly or indirectly for, or on behalf of, any person, group, entity or nation named by an Executive Order or the United States Treasury Department as any banned or blocked person or entity. 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 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 Seller 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.

10.1Broker. Upon the Closing, and only in the event the Closing occurs, Seller shall pay a brokerage commission to Cushman & Wakefield, Inc. ("Broker"), a Colorado corporation, pursuant to a

separate agreement between Seller and Broker. Broker is representing Seller in this transaction. 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 Property contemplated hereby, and arising out of any acts or agreements of Seller, including any claim asserted by Broker. Likewise, Purchaser shall and does hereby indemnify and hold Seller 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, Seller 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 Property 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.

11.1Indemnification by Seller. Following the Closing and subject to Sections 11.3 and 11.4, Seller shall indemnify and hold Purchaser, its affiliates, 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 Seller contained in this Agreement or in any Closing Document, and (b) any breach of any covenant of Seller contained in this Agreement which survives the Closing or in any Closing Document.

 

11.2Indemnification by Purchaser. Following the Closing and subject to Sections 11.3 and 11.4, Purchaser (and any entity controlled by Purchaser to whom any rights of Purchaser are assigned pursuant to Section 9.1 hereof) shall indemnify and hold Seller, its 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.

 

11.3Limitations on Indemnification. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of Section 11.1, (a) Seller shall not be required to indemnify Purchaser or any Purchaser-Related Entities under this Agreement unless the aggregate of all amounts for which an indemnity would otherwise be payable by Seller under Section 11.1 above exceeds the Basket Limitation, (b) in no event shall the liability of Seller with respect to the indemnification provided for in Section 11.1 above exceed in the aggregate the Cap Limitation, (c) if prior to the Closing, Purchaser obtains actual knowledge of any inaccuracy or breach of any representation, warranty or covenant of Seller 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 Seller set forth in Section 5.3, Section 5.4 or Section 10.1 of this

Agreement or fraud by Seller with respect to this Agreement.

11.4Survival. The representations, warranties and covenants contained in this Agreement and the Closing Documents shall survive until the later to occur of (i) one hundred eighty (180) days following the Closing or (ii) December 31, 2011, unless a longer or shorter survival period is expressly provided for in this Agreement.

 

11.5Indemnification 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.

Wherever any notice or other communication is required or permitted hereunder, such notice or other communication shall be in writing and shall be delivered by overnight courier, hand, sent by U.S. registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, facsimile transmission or email (provided, however, that if sent by facsimile or email, the original must follow by another alternative means of delivery as set forth in this Section 12.1) to the addresses or facsimile numbers set out below or at such other addresses as are specified by written notice delivered in accordance herewith:

12.3Time Periods. If the time period by which any right, option, or election provided under this Agreement must be exercised, or by which any act required hereunder must be performed, or by which the Closing must be held, expires on a Saturday, Sunday, or holiday, then such time period shall be automatically extended through the close of business on the next regularly scheduled Business Day.

12.6Severability. 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.

 

12.7Construction. 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, to examine and review at Seller's 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. The provisions of this Section shall survive for a period of twenty-four (24) months after the Closing Date.

12.11General 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 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 Colorado. 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.

 

12.12Like-Kind Exchange. The parties hereto 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 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 Property. The Other Party makes no representation or warranty that the conveyance of the Property by Seller to Purchaser shall qualify for a like-kind exchange. Once Purchaser has paid the purchase money proceeds as directed by Seller, it 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.

 

12.13Attorneys' Fees. If Purchaser or Seller brings 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 under this Agreement, the prevailing party in such action shall be entitled to recover court costs and reasonable attorney's fees actually incurred from the other.

 

12.14Counterparts. 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 or email, and the signature page of either party to any counterpart may be appended to any other counterpart.

 

12.15Effective 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.

WHEREAS, Purchaser and Seller have entered into that certain Purchase and Sale Agreement dated as of May 5, 2011 (the "Effective Date"), as to Purchaser (hereinafter referred to as the "Contract"); and

 

WHEREAS, Section 2.3 of the Contract provides for Purchaser's payment to Escrow Agent, within two business days after the Effective Date, of Two Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($200,000.00) as Initial Earnest Money (as defined in the Contract) to be held and applied by said Escrow Agent in accordance with this Agreement; and

 

WHEREAS, Section 2.3 of the Contract also provides for Purchaser's payment to Escrow Agent, no later than May 10, 2011, of the additional sum of Two Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($200,000.00) as Additional Earnest Money (as defined in the Contract);

 

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 shall give written notice to Purchaser and Seller within one (1) business day after Escrow Agent actually receives from Purchaser a federal funds wire transfer, payable to the order of Escrow Agent, in the amount of Two Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($200,000.00) (the "Initial Earnest Money Deposit"). In the event that Escrow Agent does not receive such wire transfer on or before the date two (2) business days after the Effective Date, Escrow Agent shall so notify Purchaser and Seller in writing, whereupon this Agreement shall be of no further force and effect. In the event Escrow Agent does receive from Purchaser a federal funds wire transfer, payable to the order of Escrow Agent, in the amount of Two Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($200,000.00), on or before the date two (2) business days after the Effective Date, the Initial Earnest Money, together with any additional earnest money actually deposited by Purchaser with Escrow Agent pursuant to the terms of the Contract (including without limitation the Additional Earnest Money Deposit as hereinafter defined), together with all interest and other income earned thereon (being herein referred to as the "Escrow Funds"), shall be held, administered, and disbursed by Escrow Agent pursuant to this Agreement and the Contract. Escrow Agent shall invest the Escrow Funds in a money market account with a national banking association or other bank acceptable to Seller and Purchaser

 

 

 

in the Atlanta, Georgia metropolitan area. 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 for purposes of this Agreement is ____________. Seller's Federal Identification Number for purposes of this Agreement is __-_______. Escrow Agent's fee, if any, for services rendered hereunder shall be paid one half by Purchaser and one half by Seller. If Escrow Agent has received the Initial Earnest Money Deposit, Escrow Agent shall give written notice to Purchaser and Seller within one (1) business day after Escrow Agent actually receives from Purchaser a subsequent federal funds wire transfer, payable to the order of Escrow Agent, in the amount of Two Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($200,000.00) (the "Additional Earnest Money Deposit"). In the event that Escrow Agent does not receive such wire transfer on or before May 10, 2011, Escrow Agent shall so notify Purchaser and Seller in writing, whereupon at the election of Seller exercised by written notice to Purchaser and Escrow Agent, the Escrow Funds shall be returned to Purchaser and this Agreement shall be of no further force and effect.

 

2.    At such time as Escrow Agent receives written notice from either Purchaser, on the one hand, or Seller, on the other hand, or both, 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 written notice from either Purchaser, on the one hand, or Seller, on the other hand, within said ten (10) day period which notice countermands the earlier notice of disburse-ment, then Escrow Agent shall withhold such disbursement until both 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 instru-ment, 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 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 the date which is six (6) months from the date hereof, 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.

 

5.    Purchaser and Seller hereby agree to indemnify and hold Escrow Agent harmless against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, and expenses, including, without limi-tation, reasonable and actual 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.

THIS SELLER'S CERTIFICATE AS TO REPRESENTATIONS (this "Certificate") is given and made by THE FUND IX, FUND X, FUND XI and REIT JOINT VENTURE, a Georgia joint venture ("Seller"), this ___ day of ______________, 2011, for the benefit of _________________________, a _______________ ("Purchaser").

 

Pursuant to the provisions of that certain Purchase and Sale Agreement, dated as of _______________, 2011, between Seller and Purchaser (the "Contract"), for the purchase and sale of the property described on Exhibit "A" attached hereto and made a part hereof (the "Property"), Seller certifies that except as may be set forth to the contrary in Exhibit "B" attached hereto and made a part hereof, all of the representations and warranties of Seller contained in Section 4.1 of the Contract remain true and correct in all material respects as of the date hereof.

 

The representations and warranties contained herein and in Section 4.1 of the Contract shall survive for the period specified in Section 11.4 of the Contract, and upon the expiration of the applicable survival period, such representations and warranties of Seller shall be of no further force or effect except that with respect to any particular alleged breach, Purchaser shall give Seller written notice prior to the expiration of the survival period of such alleged breach with reasonable detail as to the nature of such breach and files an action against Seller with respect thereto within one hundred twenty (120) days after the giving of such notice.

 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Seller has caused this Certificate to be executed by its duly authorized representatives as of the day and year first above written.

Section 1445 of the Internal Revenue Code provides that a transferee of a U.S. real property interest must withhold tax if the transferor is a foreign person.  For U.S. tax purposes (including Section 1445), the owner of a disregarded entity (which has legal title to a U.S. real property interest under local law) will be the transferor of the property and not the disregarded entity. To inform the transferee that withholding of tax is not required upon the disposition of a U.S. real property interest by THE FUND IX, FUND X, FUND XI and REIT JOINT VENTURE, 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 __________; and

 

4.    The Seller's office address is 6200 The Corners Parkway, Atlanta, Georgia 30092.

 

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.

 

 

Date: ________________, 2011                                (Seal)

By:                        

 

THIS CERTIFICATION MUST BE RETAINED UNTIL THE END OF THE FIFTH TAXABLE YEAR FOLLOWING THE TAXABLE YEAR IN WHICH THE TRANSFER TAKES PLACE.
