Purchaser has the sole responsibility to fully inspect the Property, to investigate all matters relevant thereto, including, without limitation, the condition of the Property, and to reach its own, independent evaluation of any risks (environmental or otherwise) or rewards associated with the ownership, leasing, management and operation of the Property.

Promptly upon execution of this Agreement, Purchaser may order at its expense, from the Title Company a preliminary title commitment with respect to the Property (the “Title Commitment”). Purchaser shall direct the Title Company to send a copy of the Title Commitment to Seller. Promptly upon execution of this Agreement, Purchaser may arrange, also at its expense, for the preparation of one or more updates of the Existing Survey (each and together, the “Survey”). Purchaser likewise shall make copies of any such Survey available to Seller prior to Closing. Purchaser shall have until the end of the Inspection Period to give written notice (the “First Title Notice ”) to Seller of such objections as Purchaser may have to any exceptions to title disclosed in the Title Commitment or in any Survey or otherwise in Purchaser’s examination of title. From time to time at any time after the First Title Notice and prior to the Closing Date, Purchaser may give written notice of exceptions to title first appearing of record after the effective date of any updated title commitment or matters of survey which would not have been disclosed by an accurate updated examination of title or preparation of an updated ALTA survey prior to date of the initial Title Commitment or the initial Survey. Seller shall have the right, but not the obligation (except as to Monetary Objections), to attempt to remove, satisfy or otherwise cure any exceptions to title to which the Purchaser so objects. Within five (5) Business Days after receipt of Purchaser’s First Title Notice, Seller shall give written notice to Purchaser informing the Purchaser of Seller’s election with respect to such objections. If Seller fails to give written notice of election within such five (5) Business Day period, Seller shall be deemed to have elected not to attempt to cure the objections (other than Monetary Objections). If Seller elects to attempt to cure any objections, Seller shall be entitled

to one or more reasonable adjournments of the Closing of up to but not beyond the thirtieth (30th) day following the initial date set for the Closing to attempt such cure, but, except for Monetary Objections, Seller shall not be obligated to expend any sums, commence any suits or take any other action to effect such cure. Except as to Monetary Objections, if Seller elects, or is deemed to have elected, not to cure any exceptions to title to which Purchaser has objected or if, after electing to attempt to cure, Seller determines that it is unwilling or unable to remove, satisfy or otherwise cure any such exceptions, Purchaser’s sole remedy hereunder in such event shall be either (i) to accept title to the Property subject to such exceptions as if Purchaser had not objected thereto and without reduction of the Purchase Price, (ii) if such exceptions are matters first appearing of record after the date of this Agreement, and arise by, through or under Seller, to terminate this Agreement, or (iii) to terminate this Agreement within three (3) Business Days after receipt of written notice from Seller either of Seller’s election not to attempt to cure any objection or of Seller’s determination, having previously elected to attempt to cure, that Seller is unable or unwilling to do so, or three (3) Business Days after Seller is deemed hereunder to have elected not to attempt to cure such objections (and upon any such termination under clause (ii) or (iii) above, Escrow Agent shall return the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Money to Purchaser). 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.

3.5. Operating Agreements. Prior to fifteen (15) days prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period, Purchaser will designate in a written notice to Seller which Operating Agreements Purchaser will assume and which Operating Agreements will be terminated by Seller at Closing; provided, however, that Seller shall not be obligated to terminate, and Purchaser shall assume Seller’s obligations arising from and after Closing under, all Operating Agreements 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. 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 Operating Agreements which Purchaser has designated will not be terminated. Seller, without cost to Purchaser, shall terminate at Closing all Operating Agreements that are not so assumed, to the extent any relates to the Property. If Purchaser fails to notify Seller in writing on or prior to the date which is fifteen (15) days prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period of any Operating Agreements that Purchaser does not desire to assume at Closing, Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected to assume all such Operating Agreements and to have waived its right to require Seller to terminate such Operating Agreements at Closing.

3.6. Termination 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 Initial ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ 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

The provisions of this Section 5.4(d) shall survive the Closing.

(e) Tenant Inducement Costs. Set forth on EXHIBIT “K” attached hereto and made a part hereof is a list of tenants at the Property with respect to which Tenant Inducement Costs and/or leasing commissions have not been paid in full as of the Effective Date. Seller shall pay all such Tenant Inducement Costs and leasing commissions set forth in EXHIBIT “K” as and when the same are due and payable. If said amounts have not been paid in full on or before Closing, Purchaser shall receive a credit against the Purchase Price in the aggregate amount of all such Tenant Inducement Costs and leasing commissions remaining unpaid at Closing, and Purchaser shall assume the obligation to pay amounts payable after Closing up to the amount of such credit received at Closing. Except as may be specifically provided to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement, Purchaser shall be responsible for the payment of all Tenant Inducement Costs and leasing commissions which become due and payable (whether before or after Closing) (i) as a result of any renewals or extensions or expansions of existing Leases approved or deemed approved by Purchaser in accordance with Section 4.3(a) hereof between the Effective Date and the Closing Date and under any new Leases, approved or deemed approved by Purchaser in accordance with said Section 4.3(a), and (ii) all Tenant Inducement Costs and leasing commissions that first become due and payable after Closing. The provisions of this Section 5.4(e) shall survive the Closing.

(g) Operating Expenses. Personal property taxes, installment payments of special assessment liens, vault charges, sewer charges, utility charges, and normally prorated operating expenses actually paid or payable as of the Closing Date 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 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 tenants of operating expenses and/or common area maintenance costs under the Leases (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 tenants 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. The provisions of this Section 5.4(g) shall survive the Closing.

ARTICLE 6.
CONDITIONS TO CLOSING

6.1. Conditions 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 delivered to Purchaser all of the items required to be delivered to Purchaser pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, including, but not limited to Section 5.1 hereof;

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

(c) 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(i) hereof);

(d) Tenant Estoppel Certificates from tenants occupying not less than fifty percent (50%) of the aggregate net rentable square footage of all of the Improvements located on the Property shall have been delivered to Purchaser, with each such estoppel certificate (i) to be substantially in the form attached hereto as EXHIBIT “I” (or if the applicable Lease provides for a particular form of estoppel certificate to be given by the tenant thereunder, the Tenant Estoppel Certificate with respect to such Lease may be in the form as called for therein), (ii) to be dated within sixty (60) days prior to the Closing Date, (iii) to confirm the material terms of the applicable Lease, as contained in the copies of the Leases obtained by or delivered to Purchaser, and (iv) to confirm the absence of any material defaults under the applicable Lease as of the date thereof. The delivery of said Tenant Estoppel Certificates 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 good faith efforts to obtain the same, shall not constitute a default by Seller under this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if Seller has been unable to obtain and deliver to Purchaser by Closing the applicable percentage of Tenant Estoppel Certificates meeting the requirements set forth above, then, at the option of Seller, this condition to Closing may be satisfied by Seller’s execution and delivery to Purchaser at Closing, on behalf of any one or more tenants which have failed to provide the required Tenant Estoppel Certificate an estoppel certificate substantially in the form attached hereto as SCHEDULE 10 (“Seller’s Estoppel”) (provided that Seller’s Estoppels cannot be delivered with respect to tenants occupying more than fifteen percent (15%) of the aggregate net rentable square footage of all of the Improvements); and provided that Seller’s liability under any such Seller’s Estoppel so

executed and delivered by Seller to Purchaser at Closing shall cease and terminate upon the receipt by Purchaser after Closing of a duly executed Tenant Estoppel Certificate from the tenant under the applicable Lease covered in such Seller’s Estoppel.

In the event any of the conditions in this Section 6.1 have not been satisfied (or otherwise waived in writing by Purchaser) prior to or on the Closing Date (as 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 ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ 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.

6.2. Conditions Precedent to Seller’s Obligations. The obligations of Seller 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 Seller in its 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;

(b) Purchaser shall have delivered to Seller all of the items required to be delivered to Seller pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, including, but not limited to Section 5.2 hereof;

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

(d) 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(d) hereof).

ARTICLE 7.
CASUALTY AND CONDEMNATION

7.1. Casualty. 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 and assume responsibility for such repair, and Purchaser shall receive a credit at Closing for any deductible, uninsured or coinsured amount under said insurance policies. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “immaterial damage or destruction ” shall mean such instances of damage or destruction:

(i) which can be repaired or restored at a cost of $100,000.00 or less; (ii) which can be restored and repaired within sixty (60) days from the date of such damage or destruction; and (iii) in which Seller’s rights under its rent loss insurance policy 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 the earlier of twenty (20) days after Purchaser is notified by Seller of such damage or destruction, or the Closing Date, but in no event less than ten (10) 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 10-day period to make such election): (i) terminate this Agreement, whereupon Escrow Agent shall immediately return the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Money to Purchaser, or (ii) proceed to close under this Agreement, 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 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 clause (ii) above, Seller will cooperate with Purchaser after the Closing to assist Purchaser in obtaining the insurance proceeds from Seller’s insurers. For purposes of this Agreement “material damage or destruction” shall mean all instances of damage or destruction that are not immaterial, as defined herein.

7.2. 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 written notice that any condemnation action or proceeding with respect to the Property is contemplated by a body having the power of eminent domain, 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 thirty (30) days after the receipt of such notice from Seller, elect to cancel this Agreement. If Purchaser chooses to cancel this Agreement in accordance with this Section 7.2, 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, except for those provisions of this Agreement which by their express terms survive the termination of this Agreement. 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 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.

ARTICLE 8.
DEFAULT AND REMEDIES

8.1. Purchaser’s Default. If Purchaser fails to consummate this transaction for any reason other than Seller’s intentional and willful default, 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 ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ 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 ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Money is a reasonable estimate of Seller’s probable loss in the event of default by Purchaser. Seller’s retention of said ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Money is intended not as a penalty, but as full liquidated damages. The right to retain the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Money as full liquidated damages is Seller’s sole and exclusive remedy in the event of default hereunder by Purchaser, and Seller hereby waives and releases any right to (and hereby covenants that it shall not) ▇▇▇ the Purchaser: (a) for specific performance of this Agreement, or (b) to recover actual damages in excess of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Money. The foregoing liquidated damages provision shall not apply to or limit Purchaser’s liability for Purchaser’s obligations under Sections 3.1(b), 3.1(c), 3.7 and 10.1 of this Agreement. Purchaser hereby waives and releases any right to (and hereby covenants that it shall not) ▇▇▇ Seller or seek or claim a refund of said ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Money (or any part thereof) on the grounds it is unreasonable in amount and exceeds Seller’s actual damages or that its retention by Seller constitutes a penalty and not agreed upon and reasonable liquidated damages.

8.2. Seller’s Default. If Seller fails to consummate this transaction 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 remedy, either (a) to receive the return of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Money from Escrow Agent, which return shall operate to terminate this Agreement and release Seller from any and all liability hereunder, and to be reimbursed by Seller of its actual out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with this transaction up to, but not exceeding, $10,000; or (b) to enforce specific performance of Seller’s obligation 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. Purchaser expressly waives its rights to seek damages in the event of Seller’s default hereunder. Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected to terminate this Agreement and to receive a return of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Money and out-of-pocket expenses, as described above, from Escrow Agent if Purchaser fails to file suit for specific performance against Seller in a court having jurisdiction in the county and state in which the Property is located, on or before sixty (60) days following the date upon which the Closing was to have occurred.

ARTICLE 9.

ASSIGNMENT

9.1. Assignment. 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 Purchaser’s rights hereunder may be transferred and assigned to any entity controlled by Purchaser. Any assignee or transferee under any such assignment or transfer by Purchaser as to which Seller’s written consent has been given or as to which Seller’s consent is not required hereunder shall expressly assume all of Purchaser’s duties, liabilities and obligations under this Agreement 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 instrument 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.

ARTICLE 10.
BROKERAGE COMMISSIONS

10.1. Broker. Upon the Closing, and only in the event the Closing occurs, Seller shall pay a brokerage commission to ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ & Associates and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ & Associates, Inc. (collectively, the “Broker”) pursuant to a separate agreement between Seller and Broker. Broker is representing Seller in this transaction. Broker has joined in the execution of this Agreement for the purpose of acknowledging and agreeing that no real estate commission shall be earned by it or due it if the transaction contemplated herein does not close for any reason whatsoever. Broker acknowledges and agrees that it shall look solely to Seller, and not to Purchaser, for the payment of such commission, and Broker hereby waives and releases any present or future claims against Purchaser for the payment of such commission. In addition, Broker (upon receipt of its brokerage commission) agrees to execute and deliver to Seller and Purchaser at the Closing a release and waiver of any claim Broker may have against Purchaser or the Property. Broker shall and does hereby indemnify and hold Purchaser and Seller harmless from and against any and all liability, loss, cost, damage, and expense, including reasonable attorneys’ fees actually incurred and costs of litigation, Purchaser or 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 regard to this Agreement or the sale and purchase of the Property contemplated hereby, and arising out of any acts or agreements of Broker. 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 or any earlier termination of this Agreement.

11.11 General Provisions.

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 both Seller and Purchaser.
