CLOSING MATTERS
4.1 Survey. No later than ten (10) days following the date
hereof Seller shall deliver the Survey to Purchaser, at Seller's sole
cost and expense. The Survey shall be dated no earlier than December
20, 1996, shall show no encroachments by or from the Real Property
onto any adjacent property and no violation of or encroachments upon
any recorded building lines, restriction, zoning set-backs, or
easements affecting the Real Property. If the Survey discloses any
such unpermitted encroachment or violation or any exceptions to title
or matters indicating possible rights of third parties other than the
Permitted Title Exceptions and the same are not acceptable to
Purchaser, or if Purchaser desires to have the surveyor's
certification revised in a reasonable manner, then, within five (5)
days from Purchaser's receipt of the Survey, Purchaser must so notify
Seller. If Purchaser fails to so notify Seller within said five (5)
day period, the Survey will be conclusively deemed to be approved by
Purchaser. If, within said five (5) day period Purchaser notifies
Seller that the Survey does not comply with the terms of this
Agreement (which notification must specify in what respects the Survey
does not so comply or that the certification should be revised),
Seller shall have ten (10) days from the date of delivery of
Purchaser's notice to have the Title Insurer issue its endorsements
insuring against damage caused by such encroachments, violations or
unpermitted exceptions and provide evidence thereof to Purchaser, or
to have the surveyor's certification revised, as applicable, and if
Seller fails to do so, and provide evidence thereof to Purchaser,
within said ten (10) day period, Purchaser may elect within ten (10)
days after the expiration of Seller's ten (10) day cure period to (i)
terminate this Agreement and thereafter there shall be no further
liability of either party
-4-
hereunder (in which event the Deposit shall promptly be returned to
purchaser) or (ii) accept the Real Property subject to such encroachments,
violations and unpermitted exceptions or the unrevised surveyor's
certification, as applicable, without any diminution of the Purchase Price.
Purchaser's failure to make any election within said ten (10) day period
shall be conclusively deemed to mean that Purchaser has elected the option
contained in subsection (i) of this Section 4.1.
4.2 Title. No later than fourteen (14) days following the date
hereof, Seller shall deliver the Title Commitment to Purchaser, along
with copies of all documents constituting Permitted Exceptions, at
Seller's sole cost and expense. If the Title Commitment discloses
exceptions to title other than the Permitted Title Exceptions
("Unpermitted Title Exceptions") and such Unpermitted Title Exceptions
are not acceptable to Purchaser, then, within ten (10) days from
Purchaser's receipt of the Title Commitment, Purchaser must so notify
Seller. If Purchaser fails to so notify Seller within said ten (10)
day period, the Unpermitted Title Exceptions will be conclusively
deemed to be approved by Purchaser. If, within said ten (10) day
period, Purchaser shall notify Seller that all or certain of the
Unpermitted Title Exceptions are not acceptable to Purchaser(which
notification must specify which Unpermitted Title Exceptions are so
unacceptable), Seller shall have ten (10) days from the date of
Purchaser's notice to have such exceptions removed from the Title
Commitment or cause the Title Insurer to insure Purchaser against same
and provide evidence thereof to Purchaser, and if Seller fails to have
such exceptions removed, or insured over, Purchaser may elect, within
ten (10) days after the expiration of Seller's ten (10) day cure
period to (i) terminate this Agreement without liability on the part
of any party thereafter (in which event the Deposit shall be promptly
returned to Purchaser), or (ii) accept title subject to such
Unpermitted Title Exceptions without any diminution of the Purchase
Price. Purchaser's failure to make any election within said ten (10)
day period shall be conclusively deemed to mean that Purchaser has
elected the option contained in subsection (i) of this Section 4.2. On
the Closing Date, at the expense of Seller as set forth in Section 4.2
hereof, Seller shall cause the Title Insurer to issue an owner's title
insurance policy or prepaid commitment therefor pursuant to and in
accordance with the Title Commitment insuring fee simple title to the
Real Property in Purchaser or its designee as of the Closing Date,
subject only to the Permitted Title Exceptions and such other exceptions
as Purchaser may approve. If Seller is unable to cause the Title Insurer
to issue any of the Endorsements and Purchaser refuses to waive the
requirement therefor, then this Agreement shall become null and void and
of no further force or effect, and the Deposit will be returned to
Purchaser. Additionally, Seller will have no obligation to obtain any of
the Endorsements if the Title Insurer charges other than standard rates
for the coverage or if the Title Insurer requires security or an indemnity
from Seller in order to issue any of the Endorsements.
If Purchaser shall make objection to the Survey (as described in
Section 4. 1) or the Title Commitment (as described in this Section 4.2)
and the Closing Date was to occur prior to the time each party was able
to exercise its rights under Section 4.1 or Section 4.2, as applicable,
then the Closing Date will be extended to a date which is three (3)
business days subsequent to the latest date for notice, objection and
remedy permitted by either Section 4.1 or 4.2, as applicable.
-5-
4.3 Possession, Prorations and Expenses, and New Leases.
(a) Sole and exclusive possession of the Property, subject
only to the rights of the tenants under the Leases, shall be delivered
to Purchaser on the Closing Date. Any vacant space will be placed
into Rent Ready Condition, which is defined to be that all walls are
patched and freshly painted, each space to be demised has a fully-
fixtured and operable bathroom, and all doors have locks and are
operable, the ceiling is completed with acoustical tile and standard
fluorescent lighting and the floor is in broom-clean condition.
(b) The parties shall commence closing the transaction
contemplated herein in what is commonly referred to as a "dry closing"
on the day prior to the Closing Date as defined herein. At such "dry
closing" all documents will be deposited into the closing escrow and
all prorations will be established effective the date of the "dry
closing" ("Proration Date"). The balance of the Purchase price as
determined at the end of the "dry closing" is to be deposited in
immediately available funds with the Title Insurer by 12:00 noon on
the Closing Date, as required by Section 4.5(d) hereof. If Purchaser
fails to deposit the balance of the Purchase Price by 12:00 noon on
the Closing Date, as aforesaid, and if Seller does not terminate this
Contract for such default of Purchaser and the Closing occurs, the
Proration Date shall be concurrent with the Closing Date and all
prorations will be calculated as of the end of the day on the Closing
Date.
(c) Fixed Rent, Percentage Rent and tenant common area
maintenance and other expense contributions to be made by tenants
shall be prorated as follows:
(i) Fixed Rent - prepaid Fixed Rent will be prorated
as of the Proration Date with Seller being entitled to Fixed Rent
for the Proration Date and Purchaser being entitled to Fixed Rent
thereafter. All other Fixed Rent which is delinquent on the
Proration Date will not be prorated. All such arrearages of
Fixed Rent unpaid on the Proration Date will remain the sole and
exclusive property of Seller after Closing, provided, however,
if, after Closing, Seller shall receive any such delinquent Fixed
Rent, Seller will remit to Purchaser that portion of such
delinquent Fixed Rent that is attributable to the period after
the Proration Date, if any. Seller shall retain all right,
title, power and authority to enforce payment thereof after
Closing, except that Seller will not have the right to terminate
the Lease of a delinquent tenant after Closing due to such
delinquency. If, after Closing, Purchaser or its designee shall
receive any delinquent Fixed Rents (this provision shall not
relate to percentage rents) Purchaser may first apply such
payments to rent delinquencies which relate to any period after
the Proration Date, and Purchaser agrees, on its behalf and on
behalf of its designee, to immediately remit the balance to
Seller.
(ii) Percentage Rent - Percentage Rent which is due but
unpaid at Closing and accrued Percentage Rent not yet payable at
Closing will not be prorated. If, after Closing, however,
Purchaser receives any payment of percentage rent which relates
in any part to sales made prior to the Proration Date, Purchaser
shall immediately remit
-6-
Seller's share thereof to Seller and may not apply any portion of
such percentage rent to any post Proration Date rent
delinquencies whether delinquent Fixed Rent or tenants'
delinquent obligations to pay their pro rata share of taxes or
"Expenses" (as hereinafter defined). If, after Closing, Seller
receives any payment of Percentage Rent which relates in any part
to sales made after the Proration Date, Seller shall immediately
remit Purchaser's share thereof to Purchaser and may not apply
any portion of such Percentage Rent to any pre-Proration Date
rent delinquencies.
(iii) Tenant CAM and Other Expense Contributions. For
purposes hereof, the term Expenses shall mean all common area
maintenance costs and other operating expenses of the Property,
excluding real estate taxes and other items expressly covered in
other provisions of this Section 4.3. All payments by the tenant
to the landlord under the Leases for Expenses ("Tenant Expense
Contributions")shall be prorated between Seller and Purchaser as
follows:
(aa) Seller acknowledges the receipt of the
tenants' Tenant Expense Contributions from January 1, 1997
to Closing. Seller shall be responsible for such tenant
expenses up to Closing and Purchaser shall be responsible
for such tenant expenses from and after Closing.
(bb) At Closing, Seller shall give Purchaser a
credit for a prorated portion of the Tenant Expense
Contributions paid in advance for the month of Closing
determined by multiplying the total such Tenant Expense
Contributions paid for such month by a fraction, the
numerator of which is the number of days from and including
the date of Closing to and including the last day of such
month and the denominator of which is the total number of
days in such month.
(cc) No more than sixty (60) days after Closing,
Seller and Purchaser shall reprorate the Tenant Expense
Contributions based on the total amount thereof and the
total actual tenant expenses from January 1, 1997 to Closing
as contemplated under Section (aa)above. If as a result of
said proration the parties determine that Seller has
received from the tenants an amount of Tenant Expense
Contributions in excess of the amount to which Seller is
entitled or less than the amount that Seller is entitled
pursuant to Section (aa) above, Seller shall either pay such
excess to Purchaser or receive such shortage from Purchaser
within fifteen(15) days after the reproration is determined.
In connection with the foregoing, Purchaser and Seller agree
to cooperate with each other concerning the calculation of
the reproration. Seller shall deliver to Purchaser at
Closing information concerning the tenant expenses paid and
Tenant Expense Contributions collected by Seller prior to
the Closing to the extent reasonably available to Seller at
that time.
(iv) At Closing, Seller will have already paid the
first installment of the
-7-
1996 ad valorem real estate taxes which installment represents
fifty percent (50%) of the total 1996 real estate tax xxxx.
Seller shall allow Purchaser a credit against the Purchase Price
in an amount equal to the second installment of the 1996 real
estate tax xxxx in satisfaction of Seller's obligation for the
payment of the second installment of the 1996 real estate tax
xxxx. Purchaser shall then pay the second installment 1996 real
estate tax xxxx when received without contribution from Seller.
Purchaser and Seller shall prorate the 1997 ad valorem real
estate taxes to the Proration Date on the basis of one hundred
three percent (103 %) of the 1996 real estate tax xxxx for the
property. At Closing Seller and Purchaser will reconcile the 1996
real estate tax xxxx against the deposits received by the Seller
from those tenants who make monthly tax deposits (the "Monthly
Tax Payors"). If Seller has received more monies from the
Monthly Tax Payors than required to pay said tenants' share of
the 1996 real estate taxes, the difference will be an additional
credit to Purchaser at Closing. If Seller has received less
monies from the Monthly Tax Payors than required to pay said
tenants' share of the 1996 real estate taxes, said amount shall
be a credit to Seller at Closing. Purchaser and Seller will
reconcile the 1997 real estate tax xxxx based upon one hundred
three percent (103%) of the 1996 real estate tax xxxx for the
Monthly Tax Payors in the same manner as the 1996 real estate tax
reconciliation. With regard to those tenants who pay their share
of real estate taxes upon the presentation of the real estate tax
xxxx (the "Sight Tax Payors"), Seller shall have the right to use
whatever reasonable enforcement methods Seller deems appropriate
in collecting the 1996 real estate taxes from the Sight Tax
Payors. Said reasonable efforts shall include, but not be
limited to, delivery of notices to the tenants and taking legal
action, if required, but not termination of possession or
termination of any Lease. Purchaser agrees to cooperate with
Seller to aid Seller in collecting the Tenant Sight Payors' share
of the 1996 real estate taxes. Seller shall have no obligation
to Purchaser for the payment of the 1997 real estate tax xxxx
received by Purchaser in 1998 and all real estate tax adjustments
provided under this paragraph shall be final as of the date of
Closing.
In addition, security deposits, prepaid expenses,
utility charges and deposits, if any, and all other customarily
proratable items shall be prorated as of the Proration Date on
the basis of the most recent ascertainable amounts thereof or
other reliable information in respect to each such item of income
and expense and the net credit to Purchaser or Seller shall be
paid in cash or as a credit or debit against the Purchase Price.
In no event shall Seller be charged or be responsible for any
increase in real estate taxes on the Property resulting from any
improvements made to the Property after the Proration Date.
(d) Seller shall credit Purchaser at Closing with a special
rent loss proration (the "Rent Loss Proration") in the total sum of
TWO HUNDRED FIFTY THOUSAND AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($250,000.00). Said
special Rent Loss Proration is to reimburse Purchaser for any rent
loss caused by current vacancies and anticipated vacancies in the
premises following the Closing. Purchaser shall not be obligated to
account to Seller for the use of the special Rent Loss Proration.
-8-
(e) Seller shall pay all title charges required to fulfill
the obligations under Section 4.2, one-half (1/2) of the escrow
charges, all survey charges, and the cost of the State and County
Transfer Tax on the Deed. Purchaser shall pay for one-half(1/2) of
the escrow charges, the charges to record the Deed and the cost of the
municipal Transfer Tax, if any, on the Deed. The parties shall each be
solely responsible for the fees and disbursements of their respective
counsel and other professional advisers.
(f) (i) Seller, until the earlier of the Closing Date or
termination of this Agreement, shall not enter into any new
Leases("New Leases") without the prior written consent of the
Purchaser, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.
Purchaser will not be deemed to have unreasonably withheld its
consent to a proposed New Lease if the terms thereof do not meet
the Criterion for New Leases described on Exhibit H attached
hereto.
(ii) In the event Seller enters into a New Lease after
the date of this Agreement, and such New Lease requires
improvements or the payment of brokerage commissions
(collectively the "New Leasing Costs") at the expense of Seller,
as landlord, Purchaser by approving the execution of the New
Lease shall, at Closing, assume the obligation to pay for all
unpaid New Leasing Costs. Any New Leasing Costs paid by Seller
prior to Closing will be reimbursed to Seller by Purchaser at
Closing.
(iii) Failure of the Purchaser to consent or object in
writing within three (3) business days after a written request
for such consent to the execution of a New Lease by Seller, shall
be deemed to constitute consent.
(iv) Purchaser at Closing will indemnify and forever
defend and hold Seller, its partners, agents and employees
harmless from any loss, liability, suit, action, judgment or
claim as a result of Purchaser's nonpayment of any New Leasing
Costs assumed by Purchaser at Closing.
4.4 Escrow. Concurrently herewith, the parties, through their
respective attorneys, shall establish a Strict Joint Order Escrow in
the form customarily used by Title Insurer under which the Deposit
will be held. If Purchaser shall not give the Notice to Cancel, then
not later than seven (7) days prior to the Closing Date, but subject
in any event to Section 4.5(c,), the Strict Joint Order Escrow will be
terminated, and a new escrow will be created by the parties through
their respective attorneys with the Title Insurer at Title Insurer's
office in Chicago, Illinois, through which the Deposit will be held
and invested and the transaction shall be closed. The escrow
instructions shall be in the form customarily used by the escrowee

tenants, aggregate not less than eighty (80%) of the total

to close the transaction unless Seller obtains the required
Estoppel Letters during the thirty (30) day period describe in
(i) of the next sentence or provides the indemnification
described in (ii) of the next sentence. Seller shall have the

notice within such time shall be conclusive evidence that Purchaser
has elected the option contained in subsection (b) of this Section
6.1.
-12-
In the event that the amount of damage caused by such fire or
casualty is less than $350,000.00 (as determined by an insurance
adjuster selected by Seller), Purchaser may not elect to terminate
this Agreement and shall close the transaction contemplated hereby as
scheduled, and Seller shall assign to Purchaser at Closing all rights
under Seller's insurance policy to collect insurance proceeds for such
destruction or damage and loss of rents, and Purchaser shall receive a
credit against the Purchase Price equal to the amount of any
deductible under such policy.
6.2 Condemnation. If, subsequent to the date hereof and prior
to the Closing Date, any proceeding, which shall relate to the
proposed taking of any "material" portion of the Real Property or
Improvements by condemnation or eminent domain or any action in the
nature of eminent domain is instituted or commenced, Purchaser shall
have the right and option to terminate this Agreement by giving Seller
written notice to such effect within fifteen (15)days after actual
receipt of written notification of any such occurrence. Failure to
give such notice within such time shall be conclusive evidence that
Purchaser has waived the option to terminate by reason of the occurrence
of which it has received notice. If any such action is instituted or
commenced and Purchaser elects or is deemed to elect not to terminate
this Agreement, at Closing, Purchaser shall be assigned all of Seller's
right to any proceeds therefrom. Seller agrees to furnish Purchaser
written notification with respect to any such proceedings within
forty-eight hours of Seller's receipt of any such notification or
learning of the institution of such proceedings. Should Purchaser
elect to so terminate this Agreement, the Deposit shall be returned
promptly to Purchaser and thereupon the parties hereto shall be released
from any and all other obligations hereunder. If the Closing Date is
less than fifteen (15) days following the last day on which Purchaser
is entitled to elect to terminate this Agreement, the closing shall be
delayed until after Purchaser makes such election.
The term "material" for purposes of this Section 6.2 shall mean
any taking of any portion of the Improvements or any taking of more
than ten (10%) percent of the land area of the Real Estate.
6.3 Casualty and Rent Loss Insurance. If, under the terms of
Section 6.1, Seller is obligated at Closing to assign to Purchaser all
rights under Seller's insurance policy to collect insurance proceeds
for the repair of any pre-Closing destruction or damage, Seller shall,
at Closing, make Purchaser a loss payee under such insurance policy in
order to effectuate such assignment obligation of Seller and in
addition shall make Purchaser a loss payee for any Loss of Rents
insurance coverage that Seller may have relating to any rental loss
arising from said destruction or damage, but relating solely to the
period commencing on the Proration Date and thereafter while such
coverage may be in effect and the rent is abated under any of the
Leases as a result of such destruction or damage.
In the event Seller is obligated to make Purchaser a loss payee
for any Loss of Rents insurance coverage pursuant to the preceding
paragraph and Seller's insurance to cover such loss of rents for a
period of twelve (12) months from the date of any fire or casualty is
not in effect at the time of Closing, Purchaser, at its election (to
be exercised at or prior to Closing by written notice to Seller) may
terminate this Agreement, obtain a return of its Deposit and
-13-
thereupon the parties hereto shall be released from any and all
further obligations hereunder.

becomes aware of any transactions or occurrence prior to the Closing
Date which would make any of the representations or warranties of
Seller contained in this Agreement untrue in any material respect.

by Purchaser of any liability of Seller to Purchaser or its designee
arising from the untruth of any such representations or warranties of
Seller known to Purchaser prior to Closing, it being agreed by the
parties hereto that such representations and warranties known by
Purchaser to be untrue at or prior to Closing, shall not survive

ARTICLE VIII
DEFAULT, CONDITIONS PRECEDENT AND TERMINATION
8.1 Conditions to Purchaser's Obligations and Default by Seller.
(a) The obligation of Purchaser to close the transaction
contemplated hereby is, at Purchaser's option, subject to Purchaser's
review and approval of: the Leases, Service Contracts, the
environmental and structural condition of the Property, the Title
Commitment, the First Note and First Mortgage and such market
research, inspections of the Property, determinations as to the
Property's compliance with the Legal Requirements and review of
financial statements relating to the Property, as Purchaser deems
necessary to make its final determination to acquire the Property.
Purchaser shall have until 5:00 p.m. (CST) June 30, 1997 ("Inspection
Period") to make such reviews and approve the same. If, by the
conclusion of the Inspection Period, Purchaser has not given Seller
written notice ("Notice to Cancel") that it intends to cancel this
Agreement it will be conclusively presumed that Purchaser has approved
the matters described in this Section 8.1(a) and has determined to
acquire the Property. Purchaser will then have a period of seven (7)
days after the expiration of the Inspection Period within which to
obtain the approval by its Board of Directors of the acquisition of
the Property pursuant to the terms hereof. If on or before the
conclusion of the Inspection Period Purchaser has given the Notice To
Cancel, or if it has not given the Notice to Cancel but notifies
Seller within seven (7) days after the expiration of the Inspection
Period that it did not obtain Board of Directors' approval, the
Deposit will. be paid to Purchaser and this Agreement will be
terminated and become null and void except for Purchaser's obligations
under Section 7. 1 (c) which will survive such termination.
If Purchaser shall not have given a Notice to Cancel within the
time aforesaid, the Deposit shall be nonrefundable except as set forth
in Sections 8.l(b), 6.1 and 6.2.
(b) The obligation of Purchaser to close the transaction
contemplated hereby is, at Purchaser's option, further subject to all
material representations and warranties of Seller contained in this
Agreement being true and correct in every material respect at and as
of the Closing Date and all material obligations of Seller to have
been performed on or before the Closing Date having been timely and
duly performed. If the conditions precedent to Purchaser's obligation
to Close as described in Sections 4.1, 4.2, and 4.5(b)(viii) have not
occurred on or prior to the times required therein (subject to
Seller's extension rights under Section 4.5(b)(viii)), Purchaser shall
have only the following options to be exercised by written notice to
Seller prior to the Closing Date: (i) to terminate this Agreement,
obtain a refund of the Deposit and thereafter this Agreement shall be
null and void, or (ii) to waive such conditions and close this
Agreement on the Closing Date without diminution of the Purchase
Price. If Seller shall be in default of its obligation under this
Agreement (in contrast to Seller's inability to perform any of the
conditions precedent described above and elsewhere in this Agreement
which shall not
-19-
constitute a default), Purchaser shall have only the following options
as its sole and exclusive remedy for said default, to be exercised by
written notice to Seller on or prior to Closing Date: (aa) to
terminate this Agreement and obtain a return of the Deposit, whereupon
this Agreement shall become null and void and of no further force or
effect, except that if the default of Seller shall be of such a nature
as to be willful and wanton in conduct, then Purchaser also shall be
entitled to receive from Seller the sum of $75,000 as and for full,
final and agreed upon liquidated damages (the parties hereto hereby
acknowledge that the amount of such damages are otherwise incapable of
ascertainment) or (bb) to obtain a return of the Deposit and seek
specific performance of this Agreement. If Purchaser does not file
suit for Specific Performance within six(6) months of Seller's alleged
default, it will be conclusively presumed that Purchaser has elected
the option set forth in Section 8.1(b)(aa). Purchaser's failure to
give such written notice on or prior to the time described above,
shall be conclusive evidence that all such conditions precedent to
Purchaser's obligations to close have been satisfied. If this
Agreement is terminated pursuant to this Section 8.1(b), the Deposit
shall promptly be returned to Purchaser, and all other funds and
documents theretofore delivered hereunder or deposited in escrow by
either party shall be promptly returned to such party. The rights and
remedies granted to the Purchaser in this Section 8.1(b) are the sole
rights and remedies available to the Purchaser in the event of
Seller's default of its obligations under this Agreement and Purchaser
hereby waives any other rights it may have at law (including claims
for any tortious conduct it may allege against Seller) or in equity.
8.2 Conditions to Seller's Obligations and Default by Purchaser.
The obligation of Seller to close the transaction contemplated hereby
is, at Seller's option, conditioned upon Purchaser's representations
and warranties contained in this Agreement being true and correct in
every material. respect at and as of the Closing Date, and upon
fulfillment by Purchaser of all obligations of Purchaser which were to
have been performed on or before the Closing Date having been timely
and duly performed. If any condition precedent to Closing of Seller as
set forth in this Section 8.2 has not been fulfilled and satisfied on
or before the Closing Date, Seller may, by notice to Purchaser, elect
at anytime thereafter to terminate this Agreement, and if such
termination is due to Purchaser's fault, Seller shall be entitled to
retain the Deposit as full and complete liquidated damages (and not as
a penalty or forfeiture) in lieu of any and all other legal and
equitable rights which Seller may have hereunder, and all other funds
and documents theretofore delivered hereunder or deposited in escrow
by either party shall be promptly returned to such party. Upon such
termination and retention of the Deposit by Seller, except as set
forth in tie last sentence of the first grammatical paragraph of
Section 10.3 hereof, this Agreement shall become null and void and of
no further force or effect.
