written notice to Buyer, and Buyer shall thereupon be obligated to
close the transaction provided Seller so satisfies such condition. If
Seller fails to agree to cure or fails to cure such condition by the
Closing Date, this Agreement shall be canceled and the Deposit shall
be returned to Buyer and neither party shall have any further
liability hereunder.
9.7. If Buyer's acquisition of the Property is part of a tax-deferred
exchange pursuant to Section 1031 of the Code, it is a condition
precedent to the closing of this Escrow that Buyer is able to complete
an exchange for all or a portion of its relinquished property pursuant
to an Exchange Agreement between Buyer and Accommodator. Seller agrees
to execute such documents or instruments as may be necessary or
appropriate to evidence such exchange, provided that Seller's
cooperation in such regard shall be at no additional cost, expense, or
liability whatsoever to Seller, and that no additional delays in the
scheduled Close of Escrow are incurred unless mutually agreed upon by
all parties to this Agreement.
10. Damage or Destruction Prior to Close of Escrow.
In the event that the Property should be damaged by any casualty prior to
the Close of Escrow, then if the cost of repairing such damage, as estimated by
an architect or contractor retained pursuant to the mutual agreement of the
parties, is:
10.1. Less than Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000), the Close of
Escrow shall proceed as scheduled and any insurance proceeds shall be
distributed to Buyer to the extent not expended by Seller for
restoration;
or if said cost is:
10.2. Greater than Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000), then
either Seller or Buyer may elect to terminate this Agreement, in which
case upon return of the Due Diligence Items the Deposit shall be
returned to Buyer and neither party shall have any further obligation
to the other except for Buyer's indemnification obligations under
Paragraph 5.
16
11. Eminent Domain.
11.1. If, before the Close of Escrow, proceedings are commenced for the
taking by exercise of the power of eminent domain of all or a material
part of the Property which, as reasonably determined by Buyer, would
render the Property unacceptable to Buyer or unsuitable for Buyer's
intended use, Buyer shall have the right, by giving notice to Seller
within thirty (30) days after Seller gives notice of the commencement
of such proceedings to Buyer, to terminate this Agreement, in which
event this Agreement shall terminate, and upon the return of the Due
Diligence Items, the Deposit shall be returned to Buyer and neither
party shall have any further obligation to the other except for
Buyer's indemnification under Paragraph 5, or as otherwise expressly
set forth herein. If, before the Close of Escrow, proceedings are
commenced for the taking by exercise of the power of eminent domain of
less than such a material part of the Property, or if Buyer has the
right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to the preceding sentence
but Buyer does not exercise such right, then this Agreement shall
remain in full force and effect and, at the Close of Escrow, the
condemnation award (or, if not therefore received, the right to
receive such portion of the award) payable on account of the taking
shall be transferred in the same manner as title to the Property is
conveyed. Seller shall give notice to Buyer within three (3) business
days after Seller's receiving notice of the commencement of any
proceedings for the taking by exercise of the power of eminent domain
of all or any part of the Property.
12. Notices.
12.1. All notices, demands, or other communications of any type given by
any party hereunder, whether required by this Agreement or in any way
related to the transaction contracted for herein, shall be void and of
no effect unless given in accordance with the provisions of this
Paragraph. All notices shall be in writing and delivered to the person

ESCROW AGREEMENT
THIS ESCROW AGREEMENT (this "Agreement") is made and entered into as of the
_____ day of August, 2005, between NNN ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ TOWER, L.P., a Texas limited
partnership ("Seller"), RANCHO PACIFIC DEVELOPMENT ("Purchaser"), and
__________________ ("Escrow Agent").
RECITALS
A. Seller and Purchaser entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement dated as
of August_______, 2005 (the "PSA") for the purchase and sale of certain real
property located at ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ (▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇), ▇▇▇▇▇,
as more particularly described in the PSA (the "Property"). Any capitalized
terms not defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the PSA.
B. Section 24 of the PSA provides that Seller will guaranty the current
vacancy of the Property at the rate of Twenty Dollars ($20) per square foot,
gross. The guaranty shall continue for a period of five (5) years from the date
of closing or until such time as the Vacant Space (hereinafter defined) is
leased pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, whichever is
sooner.
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and premises herein
contained, and other good and valuable consideration, and intending to be
legally bound hereby, the parties hereby agree as follows:
1. VACANT SPACE ESCROW.
(a) At closing Seller shall deposit with Escrow Agent in an
interest-bearing account, the estimated amount of $1,329,100 (calculated by
multiplying (i) $20.00 of potential lost annual rent per square foot, gross,
multiplied by (ii) the lesser of 13,291 square feet (the estimated amount of
vacant space as of the execution of the PSA), or the amount of vacant space
remaining as of the closing date (the "Vacant Space"), multiplied by (iii) five
(5) years) (the "Escrow"). The Escrow shall remain in effect for five (5) years
from the date of closing or until such time as the Vacant Space is fully leased
in accordance with this Agreement, whichever is sooner. The Vacant Space is more
particularly described on Exhibit B attached hereto and incorporated herein. The
Escrow may be contributed from the Purchase Price proceeds.
(b) Seller and Purchaser shall cooperate in leasing the Vacant Space,
and each party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to lease the Vacant
Space to acceptable tenants. Seller shall have the right to use any leasing
brokers Seller desires, in Seller's sole and absolute discretion. Purchaser
grants Seller complete and unrestricted access to the Vacant Space twenty-four
(24) hours a day, seven (7) days a week for the purpose of showing the Vacant
Space to potential tenants and improving the Vacant Space prior to occupancy by
new tenants. Purchaser
26
shall give Seller keys and security cards to the building and the Vacant Space,
which Seller may use at any time until the Vacant Space is completely leased and
the Escrow is returned to Seller. Purchaser shall maintain the Vacant Space in a
clean and showable condition, and Purchaser shall replace the light bulbs and
perform any maintenance necessary to keep the Vacant Space in a good condition.
All potential tenants for the Vacant Space shall have financials reasonably
acceptable to Seller and Purchaser and shall be reasonably approved by both
parties prior to lease execution. If Purchaser does not approve of a tenant for
financial reasons, Purchaser nevertheless agrees to execute a lease with such
tenant. In such case, the rent from the lease shall be paid directly to Seller,
the Rent Payment (hereinafter defined) shall be paid to Purchaser in accordance
with Section (d) below, and the Escrow funds shall not be released to Seller
with respect to such lease until the expiration of the five (5) year period, or
until such time as the space is re-let to a tenant acceptable to Purchaser,
whichever is sooner. Purchaser shall cooperate with Seller in any and all
collection actions or other related proceedings with respect to leasing the
Vacant Space.
(c) Each party agrees to indemnify and hold the other party harmless
from any and all claims, actions, damages, liabilities and expenses (including
reasonable attorneys' fees) in connection with damage to the Vacant Space
arising from or out of the showing of the Vacant Space, or any part thereof, by
the other party.
(d) Upon the execution of a lease, the amount of Vacant Space shall be
reduced pro rata based on the rent being paid, the term of the lease and/or the
amount of space being leased by the new tenant, and the Escrow shall be reduced
accordingly. At such time, Seller shall deliver a certification to the Escrow
Agent, detailing the amount of the Escrow to be released to Seller (the "Escrow
Refund"), and the Escrow Agent shall disburse the Escrow Refund to Seller into
that certain account described on Exhibit A attached hereto and incorporated
herein. For example, if 2,000 square feet of the Vacant Space is leased for five
(5) years at $20.00 per square foot, the Vacant Space shall be reduced to 11,291
square feet, and the Escrow shall be reduced by $200,000, for a new total Escrow
of $1,129,100. Alternately, if 2,000 square feet of the Vacant Space is leased
for three (3) years at $18.00 per square foot, the Vacant Space shall be reduced
to 11,291 square feet, and the Escrow shall be reduced by $108,000, for a new
total of $1,221,100.
(e) Beginning on the fifteenth (15th) day of each calendar month
following __________________, 2005, and until such time as the amount of Vacant
Space is completely leased, unless the Escrow Agent has received a certification
from Seller that the Escrow shall be reduced in accordance with section (c)
above, the Escrow Agent shall, without instruction from either party, disburse
approximately $22,151.67 to be adjusted at closing (the "Rent Payment") to
Purchaser into that certain account described on Exhibit A attached hereto and
incorporated herein.
(f) Any balance remaining in the Escrow on _________________, 2010,
shall be disbursed to Seller immediately.
2. DISPUTES. In the event of a dispute between any of the parties hereto as
to their respective rights and interests hereunder, the Escrow Agent shall be
entitled to hold any and all
27
cash then in its possession hereunder until such dispute shall have been
resolved by the parties in dispute and the Escrow Agent shall have been notified
by instrument jointly signed by all of the parties in dispute, or until such
dispute shall have been finally adjudicated by a court of competent
jurisdiction.
3. LIABILITY OF ESCROW AGENT. The Escrow Agent hereby consents and agrees
to all of the provisions hereof, and agrees to accept, as Escrow Agent
hereunder, all cash and documents deposited hereunder, and agrees to hold and
dispose of said cash and documents deposited hereunder in accordance with the
terms and provisions hereof. It is agreed that the Escrow Agent shall have no
obligation or liability hereunder except as a depositary to retain the cash
which may be deposited with it hereunder and to dispose of the same in
accordance with the terms hereof. The Escrow Agent shall be entitled to rely and
act upon any written instrument received by it, and if a corporation, purporting
to be executed by an officer thereof, and if a partnership, purporting to be
executed by a general partner thereof and shall not be required to inquire into
the authority of such officer or partner or the correctness of the facts stated
in said instrument. By acceptance of this agreement, Escrow Agent agrees to use
its best judgment and good faith in the performance of any of its obligations
and duties under this Agreement and shall incur no liability to any person for
its acts or omissions hereunder, except for those acts or omissions which may
result from its gross negligence or willful misconduct. Upon disposition by the
Escrow Agent, in accordance with the terms hereof, of the cash deposited with
the Escrow Agent hereunder, the Escrow Agent shall be fully and finally released
and discharged from any and all duties, obligations, and liabilities hereunder.

give hereunder shall be deemed to have been duly given when personally
delivered, against receipt therefore signed by the party to whom the notice is
given, or with respect to any party other than the Escrow Agent, on the next
