(d) Tenant (as hereinafter defined) shall be in possession of its premises under the Lease (as hereinafter defined), and rent shall have commenced under the Lease.

7. Title and Survey. Purchaser may obtain from Chicago Title Insurance Company, or such other such title insurance company acceptable to Purchaser (in such capacity, herein referred to as the “Title Company”), a commitment (herein referred to as the “Title Commitment”) to issue to Purchaser, upon the recording of the Deed (as hereinafter defined), the payment of the Purchase Price, and the payment to the Title Company of the policy premium therefor, an owner’s policy of title insurance, in the amount of the Purchase Price, insuring good and marketable fee simple record title to the Property to be in Purchaser subject only to the Permitted Exceptions (as hereinafter defined), with affirmative coverage over any mechanic’s, materialman’s and subcontractor’s liens and

The Title Commitment shall not contain any exception for rights of parties in possession other than an exception for the rights of Tenant under the Lease. If the Title Commitment shall contain an exception for the state of facts which would be disclosed by a survey of the Property or an “area and boundaries” exception, the Title Commitment shall provide that such exception will be deleted upon the presentation of an ALTA/ASCM survey (“Survey”) acceptable to Title Company, in which case the Title Commitment shall be amended to contain an exception only for the matters shown on the Survey which Purchaser may obtain. The Survey shall include a certification that the Property is zoned in a classification which will permit the operating of the Property as an office building and any conditions to the granting of such zoning have been satisfied. Purchaser shall have until the expiration of the Inspection Period during which to examine the Commitment and the Survey and to notify Seller in writing (the “Objection Notice”) of any defects or objections affecting the marketability of the title to the Property or as may be reflected on the Survey. In the event the Objection Notice is not delivered to Seller on or prior to the date which is thirty (30) days after the Effective Date, then except for matters arising subsequent to the effective date of the Title Commitment and monetary liens arising by, through or under Seller, Purchaser shall be deemed to have waived all other title objections and such matters which are not objected to in the Objection Notice shall be deemed a “Permitted Exception.” Within five (5) days after Seller’s receipt of the Objection Notice, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser a written notice (the “Response Notice”) indicating whether Purchaser elects to cure the objections identified in the Objection Notice, except that in all events Seller shall be required to cure monetary liens arising by, through or under Seller. In the event Seller elects in the Response Notice not to cure any of Purchaser’s objections in the Objection Notice, Purchaser may elect to terminate this Agreement and receive the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Money by delivery within three (3) business days after Purchaser’s receipt of the Response Notice, of a written notice of termination (the “Election Notice”), whereupon, except as expressly provided to the contrary in this Agreement, no party hereto shall have any other or further rights or obligations under this Agreement.

In the event that Purchaser provides written notice to Seller of Purchaser’s objection to any Subsequent Title Matters, then Seller shall cause any such Subsequent Title ▇▇▇▇▇▇ to be promptly cured or, if Seller fails to so cure prior to the date which is five (5) days after the Closing Date, then Purchase shall be entitled to cure such Subsequent Title Matters and offset the cost of any such cure against the Purchase Price to be paid to Seller at Closing. In the event that any such Subsequent Title Matters cannot be cured to Purchaser’s satisfaction, then Purchaser shall have the right to terminate this Agreement and receive a refund of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Money, whereupon, except as expressly provided to the contrary in this Agreement, no party hereto shall have any other or further rights or obligations under this Agreement. “Permitted Exceptions” shall mean any title matters which are deemed to be Permitted Exceptions to the terms hereof and shall include: (i) acts of Purchaser, and those claiming by, through and under Purchaser, (ii) general and special taxes and assessments not yet due and payable, (iii) rights of Tenant under the Lease, and (iii) zoning, building and other governmental and quasi-governmental laws, codes and regulations.

17. Condemnation. If, prior to the Closing, all or any part of the Property is subjected to a bona fide threat of condemnation by a body having the power of eminent domain or is taken by eminent domain or condemnation (or sale in lieu thereof), or if Seller has received notice that any condemnation action or proceeding with respect to the Property is contemplated by a body having the power of eminent domain and in either instance the Lease is, or may become, terminable or rent thereunder may be reduced or abated, Seller shall give Purchaser immediate written notice of such threatened or contemplated condemnation or of such taking or sale, and Purchaser may by written notice to Seller given within fifteen (15) days of the receipt of such notice from Seller, elect to cancel this Agreement. If Purchaser chooses to cancel this Agreement in accordance with this Paragraph 17, then the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ 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. If Purchaser does not elect to cancel this Agreement in accordance herewith, 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 that have been or that may thereafter be made for such taking.

18. Damage or Destruction. If any of the Improvements shall be destroyed or damaged prior to the Closing, and the estimated cost of repair or replacement exceeds $250,000.00 or if the Lease shall be, or may become, terminable as a result of such damage, Purchaser may, by written notice given to Seller within fifteen (15) days after receipt of written notice from Seller of such damage or destruction, elect to terminate this Agreement, in which event the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Money shall immediately be returned by Escrow Agent to Purchaser and except as expressly provided herein to the contrary, the rights, duties, obligations, and liabilities of all parties hereunder shall immediately terminate and be of no further force or effect. If Purchaser does not elect to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Paragraph 18, or has no right to terminate this Agreement (because the damage or destruction does not exceed $250,000.00 and the Lease will not be terminable), and the sale of the Property is consummated, Purchaser shall be entitled to receive all insurance proceeds paid or payable to Seller by reason of such destruction or damage under the insurance required to be maintained by Seller (less amounts of insurance theretofore received and applied by Seller to restoration). If the amount of said casualty or rent loss insurance proceeds is not settled by the Closing Date, Seller shall execute at Closing all proofs of loss, assignments of claim, and other similar instruments to ensure that Purchaser shall receive all of Seller’s right, title, and interest in and under said insurance proceeds.

19. Hazardous Substances. Seller hereby warrants and represents, to Seller’s actual knowledge that

except as disclosed in that certain Phase I Environmental Site Assessment, dated November 25, 2003, prepared by National Assessment Corp. under Job No. 03-17116.1 (i) no “hazardous substances”, as that term is defined in the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended, 42 U.S.C. Section 9601, et. seq., the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, as amended, 42 U.S.C. Section 6901 et. seq., and the rules and regulations promulgated pursuant to these acts, any so-called “super-fund” or “super-lien” laws or any applicable state or local laws, nor any other pollutants, toxic materials, or contaminants have been or shall prior to Closing be discharged, disbursed, released, stored, treated, generated, disposed of, or allowed to escape on the Property, (ii) no asbestos or asbestos containing materials have been installed, used, incorporated into, or disposed of on the Property, (iii) no polychlorinated biphenyls are located on or in the Property, in the form of electrical transformers, fluorescent light fixtures with ballasts, cooling oils, or any other device or form, (iv) no underground storage tanks are located on the Property or were located on the Property and subsequently removed or filled, (v) no investigation, administrative order, consent order and agreement, litigation, or settlement with respect to Hazardous Substances is proposed, threatened, anticipated or in existence with respect to the Property, and (vi) the Property has not previously been used as a landfill, cemetery, or as a dump for garbage or refuse. Seller hereby indemnifies Purchaser and holds Purchaser harmless from and against any loss, cost, damage, liability or expense due to or arising out of the breach of any representation or warranty contained in this Paragraph.

20. Assignment. Purchaser’s rights and duties under this Agreement shall not be assignable except to a party under the control of, controlled by or under common control with Purchaser without the consent of Seller which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

21. Broker’s Commission. Seller has by separate agreement agreed to pay a brokerage commission to CB ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ (the “Broker”). Purchaser and Seller hereby represent each to the other that they have not discussed this Agreement or the subject matter hereof with any real estate broker or agent other than Broker so as to create any legal right in any such broker or agent to claim a real estate commission with respect to the conveyance of the Property contemplated by this Agreement. Seller shall and does hereby indemnify and hold harmless Purchaser from and against any claim, whether or not meritorious, for any real estate sales commission, finder’s fees, or like compensation in connection with the sale contemplated hereby and arising out of any act or agreement of Seller, including any claim asserted by Brokers and any broker or agent claiming under Broker. Likewise, Purchaser shall and does hereby indemnify and hold harmless Seller from and against any claim, whether or not meritorious, for any real estate sales commission, finder’s fees, or like compensation in connection with the sale contemplated hereby and arising out of any act or agreement of Purchaser, except any such claim asserted by Broker and any broker or agent claiming under Brokers. This Paragraph 21 shall survive the Closing or any termination of this Agreement.

25. Survival of Provisions. All covenants, warranties, and agreements set forth in this Agreement shall survive the execution or delivery of any and all deeds and other documents at any time executed or delivered under, pursuant to, or by reason of this Agreement, and shall survive the payment of all monies made under, pursuant to, or by reason of this Agreement for a period of one (1) year from Closing except with respect to paragraph 19 which shall survive for an unlimited time.

26. Severability. This Agreement is intended to be performed in accordance with, and only to the extent permitted by, all applicable laws, ordinances, rules, and regulations. If any provision of this Agreement, or the application thereof to any person or circumstance, shall, for any reason and to any extent be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement and the application of such provision to other persons or circumstances shall not be affected thereby but rather shall be enforced to the greatest extent permitted by law.

27. Authorization. Purchaser represents to Seller that this Agreement has been duly authorized and executed on behalf of Purchaser and constitutes the valid and binding agreement of Purchaser, enforceable in accordance with its terms, and all necessary action on the part of Purchaser to authorize the transactions herein contemplated has been taken, and no further action is necessary for such purpose.

28. General Provisions. No failure of either party to exercise any power given hereunder or to insist upon strict compliance with any obligation specified herein, and no custom or practice at variance with the terms hereof, shall constitute a waiver of either party’s right to demand exact compliance with the terms hereof. This Agreement contains the entire agreement of the parties hereto, and no representations, inducements, promises, or

agreements, oral or otherwise, between the parties not embodied herein shall be of any force or effect. Any amendment to this Agreement shall not be binding upon the parties hereto unless such amendment is in writing and executed by all parties hereto. 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 assigns. Time is of the essence of this Agreement. This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same 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 and interpreted under the laws of the State of Georgia. Except as otherwise provided herein, all rights, powers, and privileges conferred hereunder upon the parties shall be cumulative but not restrictive to those given by law. All personal pronouns used in this Agreement, whether used in the masculine, feminine, or neuter gender shall include all genders, and all references herein to the singular shall include the plural and vice versa.

29. Duties as Escrow Agent. In performing its duties hereunder, Escrow Agent shall not incur any liability to anyone for any damages, losses or expenses, except for its gross negligence or willful misconduct, and it shall accordingly not incur any such liability with respect to any action taken or omitted in good faith upon advice of its counsel or in reliance upon any instrument, including any written notice or instruction provided for in this Agreement, not only as to its due execution and the validity and effectiveness of its provision, but also as to the truth and accuracy of any information contained therein that Escrow Agent shall in good faith believe to be genuine, to have been signed or presented by a proper person and to conform to the provisions of this Agreement. Seller and Purchaser hereby agree to indemnify and hold harmless Escrow Agent against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses, including reasonable costs of investigation and legal fees and disbursements, that may be imposed upon Escrow Agent or incurred by Escrow Agent in connection with its acceptance or performance of its duties hereunder as escrow agent, including without limitation, any litigation arising out of this Agreement.

Seller and Purchaser shall bear all costs and expenses of any such legal proceedings.
