vacant space (the "Vacant Space"); and
(b) an amount equal to $42,000.00 (the "TI/Leasing Deposit") for

basis of $6.00 per square foot vacant space at the Property.
The Leasing Deposit shall be held in escrow by Chicago Title subject to the
terms and conditions of this Agreement and shall be disbursed as hereinafter
provided. Commencing on the day of closing, and continuing on the first day of
each calendar month thereafter for twelve (12) months from the Closing Date
(provided that if Closing occurs on a day other than the first day of the month,
such first payment shall be prorated accordingly), Buyer shall be entitled to

Leasing Deposit, if any, with respect to such space, shall be released to
Seller.
The TI/Leasing Deposit shall be held in escrow by Chicago Title subject to
the terms and conditions of this Purchase Agreement and shall be disbursed as
hereinafter provided. In the event that a lease is entered into for any Vacant
Space of the Property, then the leasing commissions and tenant improvement costs
payable with respect to such lease shall be disbursed from the TI/Leasing
Deposit to the party entitled to receive payment of the same; provided, however,
(x) disbursements from the TI/Leasing Deposit with respect to tenant
improvements costs shall be limited to the rate of $3.00 per square foot in any
one Vacant Space, unless otherwise approved by Buyer, and (y) disbursements from
the TI/Leasing Deposit with respect to leasing commissions shall be limited to
the rate of $3.00 per square foot in any one Vacant Space, unless otherwise
approved by Buyer. In the event that there are any sums remaining in the TI
Leasing Deposit on the date which is 12 months from the Closing Date, then such
sums shall be remitted to Buyer.

lease shall provide for typical retail uses not in conflict with other
existing leases; and (vi) Seller shall have exercised commercially reasonable

practices. Any deviations from the foregoing leasing parameters shall require
