NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, of the covenants, promises and undertakings set forth herein, and for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Seller and Purchaser agree as follows:

1. THE PROPERTY.

Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and for the consideration herein set forth, Seller agrees to sell and transfer, respectively, and Purchaser agrees to purchase and acquire, all of Seller’s assignable and transferable right, title, and interest in and to the following (collectively, the “Property”):

Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, no representations or warranties have been made or are made and no responsibility has been or is assumed by Seller or by any partner, officer, person, firm, agent, attorney or representative acting or purporting to act on behalf of Seller as to (i) the condition or state of repair of the Property; (ii) the compliance or non-compliance of the Property with any

The parties agree that all understandings and agreements heretofore made between them or their respective agents or representatives are merged in this Agreement and the Exhibits hereto annexed, which alone fully and completely express their agreement, and that this Agreement has been entered into after full investigation, or with the parties satisfied with the opportunity afforded for full investigation, neither party relying upon any statement or representation by the other unless such statement or representation is specifically embodied in this Agreement or the Exhibits annexed hereto.

Except with regard to the breach of a representation or warranty of Seller expressly set forth in this Agreement, Purchaser waives its right to recover from, and forever releases and discharges Seller, Seller’s affiliates, Seller’s investment advisor and manager, the partners, trustees, shareholders, directors, officers, attorneys, employees and agents of each of them, and their respective heirs, successors, personal representatives and assigns (collectively, the “Releasees”) from any and all demands, claims (including, without limitation, causes of action in tort), legal or administrative proceedings, losses, liabilities, damages, penalties, fines, liens, judgments, costs or expenses whatsoever (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and costs), whether direct or indirect, known or unknown, foreseen or unforeseen (collectively, “Claims”), that may arise on account of or in any way be connected with the Property, the physical condition thereof, or any law or regulation applicable thereto (including, without limitation, claims under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended (42 U.S.C. Section 6901, et seq.), the Resources Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976 (42 U.S.C. Section 6901, et seq.), the Clean Water Act (33 U.S.C. Section 1251, et seq.), the Safe Drinking Water Act (49 U.S.C. Section 1801, et seq.), the Hazardous Transportation Act (42 U.S.C. Section 6901, et seq.), and the Toxic Substance Control Act (15 U.S.C. Section 2601, et seq.). Without limiting the foregoing, Purchaser, upon closing, shall be deemed to have waived, relinquished and released Seller and all other Releasees from any and all Claims, matters arising out of latent or patent defects or physical conditions, violations of applicable laws (including, without limitation, any environmental laws) and any and all other acts, omissions, events, circumstances or matters affecting the Property. As part of the provisions of this Section 1.2, but not as a limitation thereon, Purchaser hereby agrees, represents and warrants that the matters released herein are not limited to matters which are known or disclosed, and Purchaser hereby waives any and all rights and benefits which it now has, or in the future may have conferred upon it, by virtue of the provisions of federal, state or local law, rules and regulations. Except with regard to the breach of the representation and warranty set forth in Section 5.1.10 of this Agreement, Purchaser agrees that should any cleanup, remediation or removal of hazardous substances or other environmental conditions on or about the Property be required after the date of Closing, such clean-up, removal or remediation shall not be the responsibility of Seller.

3. INSPECTIONS AND APPROVALS.

3.1 Inspections.

3.1.1 Commencing on the Effective Date through the Approval Date, Seller agrees to allow Purchaser and Purchaser’s engineers, architects, employees, agents and representatives (“Purchaser’s Agents”) reasonable access, during normal business hours, to the Property and to the records, if any, maintained for Seller by Seller’s property management company during normal business hours. Such access shall be solely for the purposes of (i) reviewing the Lease and contracts and any records relating thereto; (ii) reviewing records relating to operating expenses; and (iii) inspecting the physical condition of the Property and conducting non-intrusive physical or environmental inspections of the Property. Purchaser shall not conduct or allow any testing or air samples at the Property or any physically intrusive testing of, on or under the Property without first obtaining Seller’s written consent as to the timing and scope of work to be performed and entering into an access agreement in form and substance satisfactory to Seller.

3.1.2 Purchaser agrees that, in making any non-intrusive physical or environmental inspections of the Property, Purchaser and all of Purchaser’s Agents entering onto the Property shall carry not less than Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000) comprehensive general liability insurance insuring all activity and conduct of Purchaser and such representatives while exercising such right of access and naming Seller, and Dexter Companies, LLC as additional insureds. Purchaser represents and warrants that Purchaser carries not less than Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000) commercial general liability insurance with contractual liability endorsement which insures Purchaser’s indemnity obligations hereunder, and will provide Seller with written evidence of same prior to entry on the Property.

3.1.3 Purchaser agrees that in exercising its right of access hereunder, Purchaser will use and will cause Purchaser’s Agents to use their best efforts not to interfere with the activity of tenants or any persons occupying or providing service at the Property. Purchaser shall, at least twenty-four (24) hours prior to inspection, give Seller written notice of its intention to conduct any inspections, so that Seller shall have an opportunity to have a representative present during any such inspection, and Seller expressly reserves the right to have such a representative present, including, but not limited to, any discussion with any tenants. Purchaser agrees to cooperate with any reasonable request by Seller in connection with the timing of any such inspection. Purchaser agrees (which agreement shall survive Closing or termination of this Agreement) to provide Seller with a copy of any and all information, materials and data that Purchaser and/or Purchaser’s Agents discover, obtain or generate in connection with or resulting from its inspection of the Property and work under Section 3.1 hereof, including, but not limited to, any written work product pertaining to those items set forth in Section 3.1.4(a) below

3.1.4 Unless Seller specifically and expressly otherwise agrees in writing, Purchaser agrees that (a) the results of all inspections, analyses, studies and similar reports relating to the Property prepared by or for Purchaser utilizing any information acquired in whole or in part through the exercise of Purchaser’s inspection rights; and (b) all information (the “Proprietary Information”) regarding the Property of whatsoever nature made available to Purchaser by Seller or Seller’s agents or representatives is

 

- 4 -


confidential and shall not be disclosed to any other person except those assisting Purchaser with the transaction, or Purchaser’s lender, if any, and then only upon Purchaser making such persons aware of the confidentiality restriction and procuring such persons’ agreement to be bound thereby. Purchaser agrees not to use or allow to be used any such information for any purpose other than to determine whether to proceed with the contemplated purchase, or if same is consummated, in connection with the operation of the Property post-Closing. Further, if the purchase and sale contemplated hereby fails to close for any reason whatsoever, Purchaser agrees to return to Seller, or cause to be returned to Seller, all Proprietary Information. Notwithstanding any other term of this Agreement, the provisions of this Section 3.1.4 shall survive the termination of this Agreement, but not Closing.

3.1.5 Purchaser shall, at its sole cost and expense, promptly restore any physical damage or alteration of the physical condition of the Property which results from any inspections conducted by or on behalf of Purchaser. All inspections shall be conducted at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense and in strict accordance with all requirements of applicable law.

3.1.6 Except as specifically set forth herein, Seller makes no representations or warranties as to the truth, accuracy, completeness, methodology of preparation or otherwise concerning any engineering or environmental reports or any other materials, data or other information supplied to Purchaser in connection with Purchaser’s inspection of the Property (e.g., that such materials are complete, accurate or the final version thereof, or that such materials are all of such materials as are in Seller’s possession). It is the parties’ express understanding and agreement that any materials which Purchaser is allowed to review are provided only for Purchaser’s convenience in making its own examination and determination prior to the Approval Date as to whether it wishes to purchase the Property, and, in doing so, Purchaser shall rely exclusively on its own independent investigation and evaluation of every aspect of the Property and not on any materials supplied by Seller. Purchaser expressly disclaims any intent to rely on any such materials provided to it by Seller in connection with its inspection and agrees that it shall rely solely on its own independently developed or verified information.

3.1.7 PURCHASER AGREES (WHICH AGREEMENT SHALL SURVIVE CLOSING OR TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT) TO INDEMNIFY, DEFEND, AND HOLD SELLER, AND DEXTER COMPANIES, LLC FREE AND HARMLESS FROM ANY LOSS, INJURY, DAMAGE, CLAIM, LIEN, COST OR EXPENSE, INCLUDING ATTORNEYS’ FEES AND COSTS, ARISING OUT OF A BREACH OF THE FOREGOING AGREEMENTS BY PURCHASER IN CONNECTION WITH THE INSPECTION OF THE PROPERTY, OR OTHERWISE FROM THE EXERCISE BY PURCHASER OR PURCHASER’S AGENTS OF THE RIGHT OF ACCESS ONTO THE PROPERTY (COLLECTIVELY, “PURCHASER’S INDEMNITY OBLIGATIONS”). THIS SECTION 3.1.7 SHALL SURVIVE CLOSING OR THE TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT. PURCHASER HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT IN THE EVENT THAT PRIOR TO THE EFFECTIVE DATE, PURCHASER, OR ANY OF ITS EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, CONTRACTORS, CONSULTANTS, OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVES, HAVE ENTERED ONTO THE PROPERTY TO INSPECT, TEST, SURVEY OR OTHERWISE EXAMINE THE PROPERTY, AND THE RECORDS RELATING THERETO, THE INDEMNITY SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION 3.1.7 OF THE AGREEMENT SHALL APPLY RETROACTIVELY TO THE DATE OF SUCH INSPECTIONS, TESTING, SURVEYING AND EXAMINATION.

 

- 5 -


3.1.8 Purchaser shall keep the Property free from any liens arising out of any work performed, materials furnished or obligations incurred by or on behalf of Purchaser or Purchaser’s Agents with respect to any inspection or testing of the Property. If any such lien at any time shall be filed, Purchaser shall cause the same to be discharged of record within ten (10) days thereafter by satisfying the same or, if Purchaser, in its discretion and in good faith determines that such lien should be contested, by recording a bond. Failure by Purchaser to discharge such lien shall be a material breach of this Agreement.

3.1.9 Purchaser understands that any financial statements and data, including, without limitation, gross rental income, operating expenses and cash flow statements, which may be made available by Seller to Purchaser, will be unaudited financial statements and data not prepared or reviewed by independent public accountants, and that Seller makes no representation as to the accuracy or completeness thereof.

3.2 Title and Survey. Seller shall deliver to Purchaser a print of Seller’s most recent as-built survey of the Property, and, at Purchaser’s expense, Purchaser shall obtain a commitment for title insurance on the Land issued by the Title Company. Such as-built survey is referred to in this Agreement as the “Survey,” and such commitment shall be referred to in this Agreement as the “Title Commitment”. Purchaser shall have until 5:00 p.m., Eastern Standard Time, on January 20, 2006 (the “Title Notice Date”), to provide written notice to Seller of any matters shown by the Title Commitment or Survey which are not satisfactory to Purchaser, which notice (the “Title Notice”) must specify the reason such matter(s) are not satisfactory and the curative steps necessary to remove the objections stated in the Title Notice (collectively, the “Title Objections”). In this regard, at Closing Seller shall cause the Property to be released from the deed to secure debt and other documents in favor of SunTrust Bank which secure a loan from SunTrust Bank to Seller and the deed to secure debt and other documents in favor of Branch Banking & Trust Company which secure a loan to Seller’s general partner (collectively, the “SunTrust Loan Documents”). In the event Seller is unable or unwilling to eliminate or modify all of the Title Objections, Seller shall so notify Purchaser in writing, and Purchaser may (as its sole and exclusive remedy) terminate this Agreement by delivering written notice thereof to Seller not later than five (5) days after Seller’s written notice to Purchaser of Seller’s intent not to cure one or more of such Title Objections (the “Cure Date”). Seller shall have no obligation whatsoever to expend or agree to expend any funds, to undertake or agree to undertake any obligations or otherwise to cure or agree to cure any Title Objections, and Seller shall not be deemed to have any obligation to cure unless Seller expressly undertakes such an obligation by a written notice to or written agreement with Purchaser given or entered into on or prior to the Closing Date and which recites that it is in response to the Title Notice. Purchaser’s sole right with respect to any Title Objection shall be to elect on or before the Cure Date to terminate this Agreement (other than continuing obligations under Sections 3.1.4 and 3.1.7 that survive the Closing or termination of this Agreement) (herein called the “Surviving Obligations”) and to receive a refund of the Deposit. All matters shown on the Title Commitment and/or Survey and any update thereof with respect to which Purchaser fails to give a Title Notice on or before the last permissible date for so doing, or with respect to which a timely Title Notice is given but Seller fails to undertake an express obligation to cure as provided above, shall be deemed to be approved by Purchaser and a “Permitted Encumbrance” as provided in Section 3.4 hereof, subject, however, to Purchaser’s termination right provided in Section 3.5 hereof.

 

- 6 -


3.3 Contracts. At Seller’s sole cost and expense, any and all service, maintenance or supply contracts that affect the phase of which the Property is a part, as opposed to just the Property itself, shall be terminated or amended so as no longer to apply to the Property following Closing. With regard to any other service, maintenance or supply contracts, on or before the Approval Date, Purchaser shall notify Seller in writing if Purchaser elects not to assume at Closing any such contracts relating to the operation of the Property which are identified on Exhibit 3.3 attached hereto. If Purchaser does not exercise its right to terminate this Agreement on or before the Approval Date, Seller shall give notice of termination of such disapproved contract(s); provided, if by the terms of the disapproved contract Seller has no right to terminate same on or prior to Closing, or if any fee or other compensation is due thereunder as a result of such termination, Purchaser shall be required at Closing to assume all obligations thereunder until the effective date of the termination and to assume the obligation to pay or to reimburse Seller for the payment of the termination charge. Furthermore, notwithstanding the foregoing, at Closing Purchaser shall assume all obligations of Seller as the lessor under the Lease for the leasing commissions payable after the Closing in connection with any renewal, extension or expansion of the Lease as set forth on the brokerage agreements identified on Exhibit 3.3 attached hereto.

3.4 Permitted Encumbrances. Unless Purchaser terminates this Agreement pursuant to Sections 3.2 or 3.5 hereof following its opportunity fully to inspect the Property, the state of title thereto and all other matters relating to the Property, including its feasibility for Purchaser’s intended use and its suitability as an investment, Purchaser shall be deemed to have approved and to have agreed to purchase the Property subject to the following:

3.4.1 All exceptions to title shown in the Title Commitment or matters shown on the Survey which Purchaser has approved or is deemed to have approved pursuant to Section 3.2 hereof other than the SunTrust Loan Documents.

3.4.2 All contracts and leases which Purchaser has approved or is deemed to have approved pursuant to Sections 3.3, 4.3 and 4.4 hereof;

3.4.3 The lien of non-delinquent real property taxes and assessments;

3.4.4 Rights of possession of the tenants under the Leases;

3.4.5 Discrepancies, conflicts in boundary lines, shortages in area, encroachments, and any state of facts which an inspection of the premises would disclose and which are not shown by the public records;

3.4.6 Easements or claims of easements not shown by the public records; and

3.4.7 Rights of vendors and holders of security interests on personal property installed upon the Property by tenants and rights of tenants to remove trade fixtures at the expiration of the term of the leases of tenants.

All of the foregoing are referred to herein collectively as “Permitted Encumbrances.”

3.5 Purchaser’s Right to Terminate. If, as a result of its various investigations, Purchaser determines, in its sole discretion, not to proceed with the purchase of the Property, Purchaser shall have the right by giving Seller written notice (the “Termination Notice”) on or before January 20, 2006 (the “Approval Date”), to terminate its obligation to purchase the Property. If the Termination Notice is timely given, Seller shall direct the Title Company to

 

- 7 -


promptly return the Deposit to Purchaser and neither party shall have any further liability hereunder except for the Surviving Obligations. If the Termination Notice is not given, Purchaser shall have no further right to terminate this Agreement except as provided under Section 10.2 hereof.

3.6 Delivery of Title Policy at Closing. As a condition to Purchaser’s obligation to close, Seller shall cooperate with Purchaser as reasonably requested in order to enable the Title Company to deliver to Purchaser at Closing a marked commitment agreeing to issue an Owner’s Policy of Title Insurance (the “Title Policy”) by the Title Company as of the date and time of the recording of the Deed, in the amount of the Purchase Price, insuring Purchaser as owner of indefeasible marketable fee simple title to the Property, and subject only to the Permitted Exceptions. Seller shall execute at Closing the Title Company’s standard owner’s affidavit to facilitate the issuance of the Title Policy (but not additional matters required for any endorsements required by Purchaser). Purchaser may elect to obtain additional coverage or endorsements to the Title Policy at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense but obtaining such additional coverage or endorsements shall not be a condition precedent to Purchaser’s Closing obligations under this Agreement.

4. SELLER’S COVENANTS FOR PERIOD PRIOR TO CLOSING.

Until Closing, Seller or Seller’s agent shall:

4.1 Insurance. Cause insurance to be maintained on the Property under its current or comparable policies against fire and other hazards covered by extended coverage endorsement and commercial general liability insurance against claims for bodily injury, death and property damage occurring in, on or about the Property.

4.2 Operation. Operate and maintain the Property substantially in accordance with Seller’s past practices with respect to the Property, normal wear and tear excepted, provided that in the event of any loss or damage to the Property as described in Section 7, Seller shall have an obligation to Purchaser to repair the Property only if Seller so elects and then shall be obligated only to the extent of available insurance proceeds.

4.3 New Contracts. Enter into only those third-party contracts which are necessary to carry out its obligations under Section 4.2 and which shall be cancelable on thirty (30) days written notice. If Seller enters into any such contract, it shall promptly provide written notice thereof to Purchaser and unless Purchaser, within three (3) days thereafter, notifies Seller in writing of its intention to not assume such contract, it shall be treated as a contract approved by Purchaser under Section 3.3 hereof.

4.4 New Leases. Seller shall not execute new leases or amend, terminate or accept the surrender of any existing tenancy or approve any sublease without the prior consent of Purchaser.

4.5 Tenant Estoppel Certificate. Seller agrees to submit or cause its property manager to submit to the lessee under the Lease (the “Lessee”) a request for the Lessee to execute and deliver a tenant estoppel certificate to Purchaser with respect to the Lease in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 4.5. It shall be a condition precedent to Purchaser’s Closing obligations that Purchaser receive a tenant estoppel certificate from the Lessee (the “Required Estoppel”) on the form of the estoppel certificate attached as Exhibit 4.5. If on or before the Closing Date Purchaser does not receive the Required Estoppel executed by the Lessee without any changes other than the attachment of a punchlist of repairs to be made, Seller may

 

- 8 -


extend the Closing Date up to fourteen (14) days to allow Seller to obtain the Required Estoppel. If Seller fails to remedy any items on any such punchlist before Closing, Purchaser shall receive a credit against the Purchase Price at Closing for the cost of remedying such items in an amount as reasonably agreed by Purchaser and Seller, and Seller shall not be responsible for the remedying of such items. Furthermore, if Purchaser does not receive the Required Estoppel on or before the expiration of such fourteen (14) day period, if applicable, Purchaser may either (i) terminate this Agreement in a writing delivered to Seller on or before the Closing Date or the end of such fourteen (14) day period, if applicable, in which event the Deposit shall be returned to Purchaser and neither party shall have any further obligations hereunder other than those which expressly survive the Closing or earlier termination of this Agreement, or (ii) waive the foregoing condition precedent and proceed to Closing. If Purchaser shall not have terminated this Agreement under this Section 4.5 prior to the Closing Date, Purchaser shall be deemed for all purposes to be satisfied with the responses to Seller’s requests for such tenant estoppel certificate and the form and substance of such tenant estoppel certificate and shall have no further right to terminate this Agreement based on the response or lack thereof with respect to any tenant estoppel certificate.

Purchaser may elect to terminate this Agreement by giving written notice of its election to Seller within seven (7) days after receiving notice of such destruction or taking. If Purchaser does not give such written notice within such seven (7) day period, this transaction shall be consummated on the date and at the Purchase Price provided for in Section 2, and Seller will assign to Purchaser the physical damage proceeds of any insurance policy(ies) payable to Seller, or Seller’s portion of any condemnation award, in both cases, up to the amount of the Purchase Price, and, if an insured casualty, pay to Purchaser the amount of any deductible but not to exceed the amount of the loss.

7.2 Immaterial Event. If, prior to Closing, the Property is subject to a casualty or a condemnation event that is not a Material Event, Purchaser shall close this transaction on the date and at the Purchase Price agreed upon in Section 2, and Seller will assign to Purchaser the physical damage proceeds of any insurance policies payable to Seller, or Seller’s rights to any portion of any condemnation award, in both cases, up to the amount of the Purchase Price and, if an insured casualty, pay to Purchaser the amount of any deductible but not to exceed the amount of the loss.

7.3 Termination and Return of Deposit.

- 16 -


amounts due Seller for the period prior to Closing. Purchaser shall apply such rents or other amounts received, first for the account of Purchaser for amounts currently due to Purchaser; second, to Seller for any and all amounts due to Seller for periods prior to Closing; and the balance to be retained by Purchaser. If Purchaser uses its best efforts to collect past-due amounts owed to Seller for the first five (5) months after Closing but is unsuccessful, Seller shall have the right to collect delinquent rents thereafter, but in no event shall Seller have the right to evict the Lessees or terminate the Leases. This Section shall survive the Closing.

10. DEFAULT; FAILURE OF CONDITION.

10.1 Purchaser Default. If Purchaser shall become in breach of or default under this Agreement and the breach or default shall continue beyond the expiration of the cure period, if any, provided in Section 11.6 hereof, the Deposit shall be retained by Seller as liquidated damages, and both parties shall be relieved of and released from any further liability hereunder except for the Surviving Obligations. Seller and Purchaser agree that the Deposit is a fair and reasonable estimate of the actual damages to be sustained by Seller as a result of such breach, in light of Seller’s removal of the Property from the market and the costs incurred by Seller, and shall be retained by Seller as agreed and liquidated damages and shall not constitute a penalty or a forfeiture.

10.2 Seller Default. If Seller shall refuse or fail to convey the Property as herein provided for any reason other than (a) a default by Purchaser and the expiration of the cure period, if any, provided under Section 11.6 hereof; (b) the existence of a Pending Default (as defined in and contemplated by Section 11.6); or (c) any other provision of this Agreement which permits Seller to terminate this Agreement or otherwise relieves Seller of the obligation to convey the Property, Purchaser shall elect as its sole and exclusive remedy hereunder either to (i) terminate the Agreement and recover the Deposit, or (ii) enforce Seller’s obligations to convey the Property by delivering written notice to Seller within ten (10) days after the scheduled deadline for the Closing, which notice describes such default and states Purchaser’s election to enforce specific performance, and by actually filing suit within such 10-day period; provided, however, if such limitation on the time period to file suit is prohibited or limited by law, the time period shall be extended to the minimum limitation period allowed by law, and further provided that no such action in specific performance shall seek to require Seller to do any of the following: (1) change the condition of the Property or restore the same after any fire or other casualty; (2) subject to Section 10.3, below, expend money or post a bond to remove a title encumbrance or defect or correct any matter shown on a survey of the Property; or (3) secure any permit, approval, or consent with respect to the Property or Seller’s conveyance of the Property. Purchaser waives any right to receive damages as a result of Seller’s default.

10.3 Failure of Condition. If, prior to Closing, Seller discloses to Purchaser or Purchaser discovers that (i) title to the Property is subject to defects, limitations or encumbrances other than Permitted Encumbrances; (ii) any representation or warranty of Seller contained in this Agreement is or, as of the Closing Date, will be untrue, (iii) there is a landlord default under the Lease, or (iv) a voluntary or involuntary filing for the protection of Lessee under the Federal Bankruptcy Act has been made, then Purchaser shall promptly give Seller written notice of its objection thereto. In such event, Seller may elect to postpone the Closing for thirty (30) days and attempt to cure such objection, provided that Purchaser may not object to the state of title of the Property on the basis of matters set out in Section 3.4 above. The parties acknowledge and agree that Seller shall have no obligation to cure any objection described within clauses (i) or (ii) above. If Purchaser fails to waive any such objection within ten (10) days after notice from Seller that Seller will not cure the objection, this Agreement will

 

- 17 -


terminate automatically and Seller shall promptly direct the Title Company to return the Deposit to Purchaser, provided that Purchaser shall not be in default hereunder, and neither party shall have any liability to the other except for the Surviving Obligations. For the purposes of this Agreement, any title defect, limitation or encumbrance other than a Permitted Encumbrance shall be deemed cured if Title Company will agree to issue an ALTA owner’s title insurance policy to Purchaser for the Purchase Price, which policy takes no exception for such defect, limitation or encumbrance and is issued for no additional premium or for an additional premium if Seller agrees to pay such additional premium upon Closing.

Purchaser’s obligation to close on the acquisition of the Property shall be further conditioned on the following:

10.3.1 The tenant under the Lease shall have executed an amendment to the Lease in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Purchaser that provides that the tenant’s pro rata share of common area maintenance charges, taxes, insurance and any other charge which is calculated on a pro rata basis shall be calculated based on the square footage of the premises relative to the square footage of the building located on the Property, and not based on the square footage of the premises relative to the square footage of other buildings within the phase of which the Property is a part.

10.3.2 In the event that the a condition set forth in Section 10.3.1 is not satisfied at Closing, Purchaser may, at Purchaser’s election, either extend Closing for a period of thirty (30) days to allow Seller to satisfy such condition, or (b) terminate this Agreement and receive a full return of the Deposit. In the event that such condition, together with the remaining conditions (if any) set forth herein, is unsatisfied as of the Closing Date as extended, Purchaser may terminate this Agreement and receive a full return of the Deposit by providing written notice to Seller and the Title Company.

11. MISCELLANEOUS.

11.1 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with the Exhibits attached hereto, all of which are incorporated by reference, is the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and no alteration, modification or interpretation hereof shall be binding unless in writing and signed by both parties.

11.2 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or application to any party or circumstances shall be determined by any court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid and unenforceable to any extent, the remainder of this Agreement or the application of such provision to such person or circumstances, other than those as to which it is so determined invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby, and each provision hereof shall be valid and shall be enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law.

11.3 Applicable Law. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF GEORGIA.

11.4 Assignability. Except for an assignment to a wholly owned subsidiary of Purchaser with seven days’ prior written notice to Seller, Purchaser may not assign this Agreement without first obtaining Seller’s written consent. Any assignment in contravention of this provision shall be void. No assignment shall release the Purchaser herein named from any obligation or liability under this Agreement. Any assignee shall be deemed to have made any and all representations and warranties made by Purchaser hereunder, as if the assignee were the original signatory hereto. If Purchaser requests Seller’s written consent to any assignment,

 

- 18 -


Purchaser shall (1) notify Seller in writing of the proposed assignment; (2) provide Seller with the name and address of the proposed assignee; (3) provide Seller with financial information, including financial statements, and complete entity formation and organizational documentation (for any assignee which is not a natural person) of the proposed assignee; and (4) provide Seller with a copy of the proposed assignment.

11.6 Breach. Should either party be in breach of or default under or otherwise fail to comply with any of the terms of this Agreement, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the complying party shall have the option to cancel this Agreement ten (10) days after written notice to the other party of the alleged breach, default or failure by such other party and after the failure of such other party to cure such breach within such ten (10) day period. The non-defaulting party shall promptly notify the defaulting party in writing of any such alleged breach, default or failure upon obtaining knowledge thereof. The Closing Date shall be extended to the extent necessary to afford the defaulting party the full ten-day period within which to cure such breach, default or failure; provided, however, that the failure or refusal by a party to perform on the scheduled Closing Date (except in respect of a Pending Default by the other party) shall be deemed to be an immediate default without the necessity of notice; and provided further, that if the Closing Date shall have been once extended as a result of default by a party, such party shall be not be entitled to any further notice or cure rights with respect to that or any other default. For purposes of this Section 11.6, a “Pending Default” shall be a default for which (i) written notice was given by the non-defaulting party, and (ii) the cure period extends beyond the scheduled deadline for the Closing Date.

11.7 No Public Disclosure. Purchaser shall make no public disclosure of the terms of this transaction, either before or after Closing, without the prior written consent of Seller, except that following the Closing (i), subject to the approval of Seller, which will not be unreasonably withheld, Purchaser may issue a press release about the Closing not specifying the Purchase Price, (ii) Purchaser may disclose details concerning the transaction to the United States Securities and Exchange Commission in filings as required by applicable law and regulations, and (iii) Purchaser may discuss the transaction in confidence with proposed investors or joint venturers or with prospective mortgagees.

- 19 -


11.13 Recordation. Purchaser and Seller agree not to record this Agreement or any memorandum hereof.

11.14 Proper Execution. The submission by Seller to Purchaser of this Agreement in unsigned form shall be deemed to be a submission solely for Purchaser’s consideration and not for acceptance and execution. Such submission shall have no binding force and effect, shall not constitute an option, and shall not confer any rights upon Purchaser or impose any obligations upon Seller irrespective of any reliance thereon, change of position or partial performance. The submission by Seller of this Agreement for execution by Purchaser and the actual execution and delivery thereof by Purchaser to Seller shall similarly have no binding force and effect on Seller unless and until Seller shall have executed this Agreement, the Deposit shall have been received by the Title Company, and a counterpart of this Agreement shall have been delivered to Purchaser.

11.15 Tax Protest. If, as a result of any tax protest or otherwise, any refund is paid or reduction of any real property or other tax or assessment is made available relating to the Property with respect to any period for which, under the terms of this Agreement, Seller is responsible, Seller shall be entitled to receive or retain such refund or the benefit of such reduction, less the equitable prorated costs of collection, and Purchaser shall be entitled to receive or retain any portion of such refund or benefit of reduction which is attributable to any period for which, under the terms of this Agreement, Purchaser is responsible.

11.16 Survival and Limitation of Representations and Warranties; Seller’s Knowledge. The representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement are made as of the date of this Agreement and are remade as of the Closing Date and Section 5.1 shall survive the Closing. Nevertheless, written notification of any claim arising therefrom must be received by Seller within nine (9) months of the Closing Date or such claim shall be forever barred and Seller shall have no liability with respect thereto. In addition, upon Seller’s receipt of written notification of any such claim, Seller shall first be afforded at least ten (10) days to cure any breach of Seller’s representations and warranties prior to Purchaser’s filing any claim in connection therewith. The aggregate liability of Seller for breach of any representations and warranties shall not exceed $100,000; and recovery of actual damages up to that amount is Purchaser’s sole and exclusive remedy for any such breach; provided, however, Seller shall have no liability to Purchaser for matters disclosed by Seller or discovered by Purchaser prior to Closing.
