6. CONDITIONS PRECEDENT
1. TITLE MATTERS.
(1) TITLE REPORT. Seller has delivered to Buyer a
commitment for title insurance dated May 7, 1999 (the "Commitment")
covering Seller's fee interest in the Property from Chicago Title Insurance
Company (which company, in its capacity as title insurer hereunder, is
herein called the "Title Company") and copies of all documents listed as
exceptions to title in the Commitment. In addition, Seller has delivered
to Buyer a current survey of the Property dated December 11, 1998 which
shall be certified (and, if necessary, recertified prior to Closing) to
Buyer, Title Company, Lincoln National (or such other lender as Buyer may
elect) as having been made as an urban survey in accordance with the
Minimum Standard Detail Requirements for ALTA/ASCM Land Title Surveys, as
adopted by the American Land Title Association and the American Congress on
Surveying and Mapping, 1992, including, without limitation, all items
(except for items 5 and 12) in Table A thereof (the "Survey"). The Survey
shall include a certification by the surveyor that the Property is not
located in a flood plain or special flood hazard zone and contains no
wetland. Buyer agrees that, subject to the recertification requirement,
the Survey satisfies the foregoing requirements. Except for the exceptions
and survey defects listed or described on Exhibit "M" attached hereto (the
"Survey and Title Defects"), Buyer has approved the exceptions to title
shown on the Commitment and the matters disclosed on the Survey. Approval
by Buyer of any additional exceptions to title or survey matters disclosed
after the Effective Date shall be a condition precedent to Buyer's
obligation to purchase the Property (and to obtain the other rights
contemplated herein), Buyer hereby agreeing that its approval of such
additional exceptions to title or survey matters shall not be unreasonably
withheld. Unless Buyer gives written notice that it disapproves any such
additional exceptions to title or survey matters, stating the exceptions so
disapproved, on or before the sooner to occur of 10 days after receipt of
written notice thereof or the Closing Date, Buyer shall be deemed to have
approved said exceptions. If, for any reason, on or before the Closing
Date, Seller does not cause the Survey and Title Defects and any other
exceptions to title or survey matters disclosed after the Effective Date
which Buyer disapproves (to the extent Buyer is permitted hereunder to so
disapprove) either to be removed or to obtain a title endorsement (if
available) reasonably satisfactory to Buyer insuring over such disapproved
matter on or before the Closing Date at no cost or expense to Buyer (Seller
having the right but not the obligation to do so), the obligation of Seller
to sell, and Buyer to buy, the Property (and to transfer the other rights
contemplated herein) as herein provided shall terminate (and Seller and
Buyer shall have no further obligations in connection herewith). Buyer
shall have the option to waive the condition precedent set forth in this
Paragraph 5A(1) by notice to Seller. In the event of such waiver, such
condition shall be deemed satisfied. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller
shall be obligated to remove (or cause the Title Company to omit) any of
the following exceptions: (x) any deed of trust or mortgage against the
Property securing financing obtained by Seller (except for the Lincoln
National Mortgage in the event of the Lincoln National Loan Assumption);
(y) any mechanic's or materialmen's liens based on work performed by or on
behalf of Seller, and (z) any tax or judgment liens against Seller (the
foregoing obligations being without regard to amounts). Seller shall be
entitled to adjourn the Closing for a period not to exceed thirty (30) days
in order to eliminate the Survey and Title Defects and other title
exceptions disapproved by Buyer. In addition, if the Commitment discloses
judgments, bankruptcies, mortgages, liens or other returns against other
persons having names the same or as similar to that of the Seller, Seller
shall deliver to Buyer and Title Company at Closing a certificate stating
that such judgments, mortgages, bankruptcies, liens or other returns are
not against Seller. Seller also shall deliver appropriate certificates
respecting mechanic's liens and bills paid by Seller and such additional
certificates and documentary evidence reasonably required by the Title
Company to eliminate standard exceptions appearing in the Title Report that
Buyer is not required to accept (provided the same do not impose material
costs, liabilities or obligations upon Seller not otherwise contemplated
herein). If Seller is unable after reasonable good faith effort, or is not
required to, eliminate a title exceptions or otherwise comply with the
requirements set forth herein, Seller shall so notify Buyer, and Buyer as
its sole and exclusive remedy, may terminate this Agreement by notice given
to Seller, in which event, neither party shall have any rights or
obligations to the other under this Agreement, except with respect to those
obligations that survive a termination of this Agreement, and the Escrow
Deposit shall be refunded to Buyer.
(2) TITLE POLICY. It shall be a condition precedent to
Buyer's obligation to consummate the transactions contemplated herein that
on the Closing Date, the Title Company shall issue (or irrevocably commit
to issue) the following title insurance policy (the "Title Policy"):
(1) an ALTA owner's title insurance policy in the
standard form issued in the State of Illinois, in the face amount of the
Purchase Price, which policy shows title to the Property vested of record
in Buyer, and the following to be the only exceptions to title ("Permitted
Exceptions"):
(1) Real estate taxes and assessments not yet due
and payable;
(2) The Lincoln National Loan Documents; and
(3) Such exceptions to title as may be approved
or deemed approved by Buyer pursuant to the provisions of subparagraph A(1)
above.
2. DUE DILIGENCE REVIEWS. Buyer has completed all of
Buyer's due diligence examinations, reviews and inspections of all matters
pertaining to the transactions contemplated herein, including, without
limitation, all leases, service contracts, survey and title matters, and
all physical, environmental and compliance matters and conditions
respecting the Property and the transactions contemplated herein ("Buyer's
Due Diligence Review"); provided, however, matters respecting the Lincoln
National Loan will be governed by the provisions of Paragraph 5E below.
From and after the Effective Date, Seller shall provide Buyer with
reasonable access to the Property upon reasonable advance notice and shall
also make available to Buyer, upon reasonable advance notice, all Leases,
service contracts and other contracts respecting the Property and all other
documents and information relating to the Property as described in
Paragraph 2, above, to the extent the same are in Seller's possession or
control. Buyer shall at all times conduct all inspections and examinations
in a manner so as to not cause damage, loss, cost or expense to Seller or
the Property and so as to not interfere with or disturb any tenant at the
Property, and Buyer will indemnify, defend, and hold Seller and the
Property harmless from and against any such damage, loss, cost or expense
whether arising before or after the Effective Date (the foregoing
obligation surviving any termination of this Agreement). Without
limitation on the foregoing, Buyer shall not make any intrusive physical
testing (environmental, structural or otherwise) at the Property (such as
soil borings, water samplings or the like) without Seller's express written
consent (provided the foregoing shall not prohibit Buyer from obtaining a
standard Phase I environmental survey). Seller shall have the right, at
its option, to cause a representative of Seller to be present at all
inspections, reviews and examinations conducted hereunder. In the event of
termination hereunder, Buyer shall promptly return all documents and other
materials furnished by Seller hereunder. Buyer shall keep all information
or data received or discovered in connection with any of the inspections,
reviews or examinations confidential in accordance with the terms of that
certain letter dated June 29, 1998 from Hamptons International to
Blackstone Real Estate Acquisitions, L.L.C. Except as provided in
paragraph 5F, below with respect to the Theater Lease (as defined in
paragraph 5F), Buyer has waived its right to terminate this Agreement for
matters revealed in connection with Buyer's Due Diligence Review.
3. TENANT ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATES. Receipt of estoppel
certificates ("Tenant Estoppel Certificates"), from a sufficient number of
tenants at the Property so that, overall, on or before the Closing Date,
Tenant Estoppel Certificates shall be received with respect to all of the
tenants listed on Schedule 6 and 75% of the net rentable square feet of
space covered by Leases in effect as of the Closing Date with Non-Major
Tenants (being tenants that lease less than 5,000 net rentable square feet
of space) (the "Estoppel Threshold") shall be a condition precedent to
Buyer's obligation to consummate the transactions contemplated in this
Agreement. Each Tenant Estoppel Certificate shall contain no material
adverse exceptions, qualifications or modifications with respect to the
applicable Lease (it being understood that any change which affects the
cash flow of the Property shall be deemed to be material). Each Tenant
Estoppel Certificate shall be substantially in the appropriate form
provided in Exhibit "D" attached hereto and made a part hereof or in a form
otherwise acceptable to Buyer in its sole discretion. A Tenant Estoppel
Certificate dated prior to the Effective Date shall not be deemed
acceptable hereunder, unless the Tenant that previously has delivered such
Tenant Estoppel Certificate provides a reaffirmation and update letter
dated after the Effective Date in a form acceptable to Buyer in its sole
discretion ("Reaffirmation and Update Letters"). Seller's sole obligation
hereunder shall be to utilize commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a
Tenant Estoppel Certificate or Reaffirmation and Update Letter, as
applicable, from each tenant at the Property (such reasonable efforts
obligations not including any obligation to institute legal proceedings or
to expend monies therefor). Either party shall have the right to extend
the Closing Date for up to ten business days in order to satisfy the
condition set forth in this paragraph (such right being exercised by such
party giving written notice to the other party not later than the Closing
Date). Buyer hereby acknowledges and agrees that, subject to Buyer's
receipt of the Reaffirmation and Update Letters referenced herein and
Limited Estoppels (as hereinafter defined), Seller has previously satisfied
the condition set forth in this paragraph 5C. In this connection, each
Reaffirmation and Update Letter shall be substantially in the appropriate
form provided in Exhibit "D-2" attached hereto and made a part hereof or in
a form otherwise acceptable to Buyer in its reasonable discretion;
provided, however, that the Reaffirmation and Update Letter for each of
Tara's Hallmark, Musicland, Lady Footlocker, Rand's Hallmark, Radio Shack,
Afterthoughts Boutique, Naturalizer and Taco Xxxx shall be substantially in
the appropriate form provided in Exhibit "D-3" attached hereto and made a
part hereof or in a form otherwise acceptable to Buyer in its reasonable
discretion. In the event that on or before the Closing Date the condition
set forth in this paragraph 5C is not satisfied (or waived as aforesaid),
Seller shall have the right to satisfy such condition by delivering a
certificate of Seller ("SELLER ESTOPPEL UPDATE CERTIFICATE") with respect
to each Tenant Lease for which no Reaffirmation and Update Letter is
received. Any Seller Estoppel Update Certificate delivered by Seller
hereunder shall be in substantially the same form as the Reaffirmation and
Update Letter attached as Exhibit "D-2" hereto or Exhibit "D-3" hereto, as
applicable, with appropriate changes to reflect the following: (1) that
such certificate is being delivered by Seller rather than the tenant; (2)
that such certificate is only pertaining to the period beginning on the
date of the original Tenant Estoppel Certificate and ending on the date of
the Closing Date; (3) that the certification with respect to paragraphs 3,
4 and 7 of the Tenant Estoppel Certificate will be limited to Seller's
knowledge (as defined in this Agreement); (4) that the certification with
respect to paragraphs 8, 11 and 12 of the Tenant Estoppel Certificate will
be deleted and paragraph 10 of the Tenant Estoppel Certificate will be
modified as necessary to reflect that it is being delivered by Seller and
not the tenant in question; and (5) that Seller's obligation under such
certificate shall be limited to the Survival Period set forth in paragraph
8C of this Agreement and the limitations of liability set forth in
Paragraph 10B(1) of this Agreement. To the extent that Seller delivers a
Seller Estoppel Update Certificate with respect to a Tenant Lease pursuant
to this paragraph 5C, then if Seller later receives a Reaffirmation and
Update Letter with respect to such Tenant Lease, Seller shall have the
right to deliver such Reaffirmation and Update Letter to Buyer and upon the
delivery of such Reaffirmation and Update Letter to Buyer, Seller shall not
have any liability with respect to any matter covered by such Seller
Estoppel Update Certificate previously delivered to Buyer that also is
covered by the Reaffirmation and Update Letter delivered by the tenant in
question. In addition, Seller shall use its reasonable efforts to obtain
from Xxxxxx New York, Limited Express, Lane Xxxxxx, Victoria's Secret and
Bath & Body Works, Tenant Estoppel Certificates in the form of Exhibit "D"
attached hereto or in a form otherwise acceptable to Buyer in its
reasonable discretion (the "Limited Estoppels"). If Seller does not
receive the Limited Estoppels prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall have
the right to satisfy this condition (if Buyer does not waive this
condition) by delivering substitute estoppel certificates for the Limited
Estoppels that are not delivered prior to the Closing Date (the "Seller
Limited Estoppels"), which Seller Limited Estoppels shall be in the form of
Exhibit "D" hereof, modified in the manner described herein with respect to
the Seller Estoppel Update Certificates. If Seller delivers a Seller
Limited Estoppel as a substitute for a Limited Estoppel, and Seller later
receives a Limited Estoppel from the tenant in question, then Seller shall
have the right to deliver such Limited Estoppel to Buyer and upon the
delivery of such Limited Estoppel to Buyer, Seller shall not have any
liabilities with respect to any matter covered by the Seller Limited
Estoppel previously delivered to Buyer that also is covered by the Limited
Estoppel delivered by the tenant in question.
4. ANCHOR AND TOYS "R" US ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATES. Receipt of
an estoppel certificate from each of Field, Sears, Penney and Xxxxxx Xxxxx
Xxxxx & Co. ("Xxxxxx"), as successor in interest to Xxxxxxx (the "Anchor
Estoppel Certificates"), substantially in the form of Exhibit "E-1" (with
such modifications as Buyer shall reasonably require based on the
supplemental provisions contained in each Supplement) attached hereto and
made a part hereof or in a form otherwise acceptable to Buyer in its sole
discretion, and containing no material adverse exceptions, qualifications
or other modifications and receipt of an estoppel certificate from each of
Xxx Jenn Associates Limited Partnership and Toys "R" Us with respect to the
Toys "R" Us Ground Lease and the Toys "R" Us Sublease (the "Toys "R" Us
Estoppel Certificates") in the forms of Exhibits "E-2" and "E-3,"
respectively, attached hereto and made a part hereof, shall be a condition
precedent to Buyer's obligation to consummate the transactions contemplated
in this Agreement (it being understood that any change in any Anchor
Estoppel Certificates or the Toys "R" Us Estoppel Certificates which
affects the cash flow of the Property shall be deemed to be material). An
Anchor Estoppel Certificate dated prior to the Effective Date shall not be
deemed acceptable hereunder, unless such Anchor that previously has
delivered such Anchor Estoppel Certificate provides a reaffirmation and
update letter dated after the Effective Date in a form acceptable to Buyer
in its sole discretion (the "Anchor Reaffirmations"). Seller's sole
obligation hereunder shall be to utilize economically reasonable efforts to
obtain the Anchor Estoppel Certificates, the Toys "R" Us Estoppel
Certificates, and the Anchor Reaffirmations (such reasonable efforts
obligations not including any obligation to institute legal proceedings or
to expend monies therefor). Either party shall have the right to extend the
Closing Date for up to ten business days in order to satisfy the condition
set forth in this paragraph (such right being exercised by such party
giving written notice to the other party not later than the Closing Date).
Without limitation on the matters contained herein, the Field Estoppel
Certificate shall contain Field's approval of the transfer and conveyance
of the Property to Buyer. Buyer hereby acknowledges and agrees that,
except for Buyer's receipt of the Anchor Reaffirmations referenced herein,
Buyer has previously received acceptable Anchor Estoppel Certificates from
each of the anchors. However, Buyer has not previously received an
acceptable Toys R Us Estoppel Certificate with respect to the Toys "R" Us
Ground Lease and the Toys "R" Us Sublease. In this connection, each Anchor
Reaffirmation shall be substantially in the appropriate form provided in
Exhibit "E-4" attached hereto and made a part hereof or in a form otherwise
acceptable to Buyer in its reasonable discretion. In the event that on or
before the Closing Date the condition set forth in this paragraph 5D is not
satisfied (or waived as aforesaid), Seller shall have the right to satisfy
such condition by delivering a certificate of Seller ("SELLER ANCHOR UPDATE
CERTIFICATE") with respect to each anchor for which no Anchor Reaffirmation
is received. Any Seller Anchor Update Certificate delivered by Seller
hereunder shall be in substantially the same form as the Anchor
Reaffirmation attached as Exhibit "E-4" hereto with appropriate changes to
reflect the following: (1) that such certificate is being delivered by
Seller rather than the anchor; (2) that such certificate is only pertaining
to the period beginning on the date of the original Anchor Estoppel
Certificates and ending on the date of the Closing Date; (3) that such
certificate will be limited to Seller's knowledge (as defined in this
Agreement); and (4) that Seller's obligation under such certificate shall
be limited to the Survival Period set forth in paragraph 8C of this
Agreement and the limitations of liability set forth in Paragraph 10B(1) of
this Agreement. To the extent that Seller delivers a Seller Anchor Update
Certificate with respect to an Anchor Estoppel Certificate pursuant to this
paragraph 5D, then if Seller later receives an Anchor Reaffirmation with
respect to such Anchor Estoppel Certificate, Seller shall have the right to
deliver such Anchor Reaffirmation to Buyer and upon the delivery of such
Anchor Reaffirmation to Buyer, Seller shall not have any liability with
respect to any matter covered by such Seller Anchor Update Certificate
previously delivered to Buyer that also is covered by the Anchor
Reaffirmation delivered by the anchor in question.
5. LINCOLN NATIONAL LOAN MATTERS. Receipt of an estoppel
certificate from Lincoln National dated not more than 30 days prior to the
Closing Date (which Lender's Estoppel shall also include the consent of
Lincoln National to the transactions contemplated by the terms of this

or other modification), a statement of the amount that will, at Closing, be
held by Lincoln National in the tax escrow account established in
connection with the Lincoln National Loan (the "Tax Escrow"), together with
a release of Seller under the Lincoln National Loan Documents, shall be a
condition precedent to the obligations of Seller and of Buyer to consummate
the transactions contemplated in this Agreement (it being understood that
any change which affects the cash flow of the Property shall be deemed to
be material). The foregoing estoppel and release are herein called the
"Lender Agreements". The Lender Agreements shall be substantially in the
forms attached hereto as Schedule 4 and Schedule 5. In the event that on
or before the Closing Date either or both of the Lender Agreements is not
delivered or fails to include any required consent or release or contains
such consent or release but only upon the condition that the terms of such
instruments be modified in a manner reasonably unacceptable to Buyer or
Seller, as appropriate, then the obligations of Seller and of Buyer to
consummate the transactions contemplated in this Agreement shall terminate.
Buyer shall provide to Lender all information reasonably required by Lender
(including, without limitation, financial statements of Buyer and its
members). Seller and Buyer shall reasonably cooperate in connection with
obtaining the consent of Lincoln National hereunder. The sole obligation
of Seller and Buyer hereunder with respect to obtaining the Lender
Agreements shall be to utilize reasonable efforts to obtain such Lender
Agreements (such reasonable efforts not including any obligation to
institute legal proceedings or to expend any additional monies therefor
other than the fees and charges payable by Buyer to Lincoln National
pursuant to this Agreement). Either party shall have the right to extend
the Closing Date for up to ten business days in order to satisfy the
condition set forth in this paragraph with respect to obtaining the Lender
Agreements (such right being exercised by such party giving written notice
to the other party not later than the Closing Date).
6. THEATER LEASE AND OTHER MECHANICS' LIENS. It shall be a
condition precedent to Buyer's obligation to consummate the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement that Seller has delivered to Buyer and the
Title Company executed lien waivers, contractors' sworn statements and
owners' sworn statements or, in the absence of such waivers and statements,
such other evidence of payment as may be required by Buyer or the Title
Company to provide mechanics' lien insurance coverage with respect to (1)
the amounts paid or advanced to date by Seller to Silver Cinemas, Inc.
("Cinemas") under the terms and conditions of that certain Shopping Center
Lease dated as of April 6, 1998 (the "Theater Lease"); and (2) the
mechanics' liens filed against the Property by Valley Concrete, Inc. (in
the amount of $4,323.92), Xxxxxxx Gypsum Supply Company (in the amount of
$21,166.97), Lakewood Electric Corporation (in the amount of $119,462.33)
and any other lien claims filed in connection with the tenant improvements
being made pursuant to the Theater Lease (and to the extent that any such
amounts paid or advanced by Seller for mechanics' liens are applicable
towards the respective tenant improvement allowances payable to tenants,
such amounts paid or advanced shall be applied against Buyer's credit under
paragraph 6D(1)(i) hereof to the extent such amounts have not previously
been paid or advanced by Seller with respect to such tenant improvements).
It shall be a further condition precedent to Buyer's obligation to
consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement that Cinemas
shall provide an estoppel letter substantially in the form of Exhibit "N"
attached hereto and made a part hereof (the "Theater Estoppel") or in form
otherwise acceptable to Buyer in its sole discretion, and that as of the
Closing Date, Cinemas shall be open and operating pursuant to the Theater
Lease and shall have completed all tenant improvement work and performed
and satisfied all obligations and requirements contained in the Theater
Lease including, but not limited to, Cinemas' obligations under Rider Three
and Exhibit B to the Theater Lease.
7. PERFORMANCE BY SELLER. The performance and observance,
in all material respects, by Seller of all covenants and agreements of this
Agreement to be performed or observed by Seller prior to or on the Closing
Date shall be a condition precedent to Buyer's obligation to purchase the
Property; provided however, unless this Agreement has previously
terminated, if Seller tenders full performance on the Closing Date, and has
otherwise cured all existing defaults, if any, Buyer shall not refuse to
perform its obligations hereunder on the basis of a prior breach by Seller
hereunder. In addition, in the event that on the Closing Date, there shall
have occurred any material adverse changes in the representations or
warranties of Seller contained in paragraph 8A below which are not
otherwise permitted or contemplated by the terms of this Agreement, then
Buyer shall have the right to terminate this Agreement and, upon any such
termination, the Escrow Deposit shall be refunded to Buyer. Buyer shall
have the option to waive the condition precedent set forth in this
paragraph 5G by written notice to Seller. In the event of such waiver,
such condition shall be deemed satisfied.
8. PERFORMANCE BY BUYER. The performance and observance, in
all material respects, by Buyer of all covenants and agreements of this
Agreement to be performed or observed by it prior to or on the Closing Date
shall be a condition precedent to Seller's obligation to sell the Property;
provided however, unless this Agreement has previously terminated, if Buyer
tenders full performance on the Closing Date, and has otherwise cured all
existing defaults, if any, Seller shall not refuse to perform its
obligations hereunder on the basis of a prior breach by Buyer hereunder.
In addition, in the event that on the Closing Date there shall have
occurred any material adverse changes in the representations or warranties
of Buyer contained in paragraph 8B below which are not permitted or
contemplated by the terms of this Agreement, then Seller shall have the
right to terminate this Agreement and, upon any such termination, the
Escrow Deposit shall be refunded to the party entitled thereto under the
terms and conditions of this Agreement. Seller shall have the option to
waive the condition precedent set forth in this paragraph 5H by written
notice to Buyer. In the event of such waiver, such condition shall be
deemed satisfied.
9. OCCUPANCY. It shall be a condition precedent to Buyer's
obligation to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement
that, on the Closing Date (as the same may be extended pursuant to this
Agreement), at least 80% of the net rentable square footage in the mall
area of the Property be occupied pursuant to Leases in effect on such date;
provided, however, that the foregoing contingency shall be deemed to be
satisfied if less than 80% of the rentable square footage of the mall area
of the Property is occupied because any of the following commonly known
tenants have vacated the mall or are not in occupancy on the Closing Date
(as the same may be extended pursuant to this Agreement): County Seat,
Jeans West, 5-7-9, X. Xxxxxxx or Pocket Change.
10. If the transaction contemplated by this Agreement does
not close or if Buyer terminates this Agreement as a result of the failure
of any one or more of the conditions precedent contained in this
paragraph 5, the Escrow Deposit shall be returned to Buyer (except as
otherwise provided in paragraph 5H) and the parties shall have no further
obligations under this Agreement, except for those that expressly survive
the termination of this Agreement. Buyer acknowledges that the condition
precedent contained in paragraph 5B has been satisfied.
7. CLOSING PROCEDURE. The closing ("Closing") of the transactions
provided herein shall be consummated at a closing conference ("Closing
Conference"), which shall be held on the Closing Date at Seller's offices
at 000 Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx, or at the offices of
Lincoln National, if required by Lincoln National in connection with the
assumption of the Lincoln National Loan. As used herein, "Closing Date"
means, subject to paragraphs 5C, 5D and 5E, above, July 13, 1999, provided,
however, that Buyer may extend the Closing Date to August 10, 1999 by
giving Seller written notice at least three (3) days prior to the
originally scheduled Closing Date. If Buyer extends the Closing Date,
Buyer will deposit an additional Two Hundred Fifty Thousand and No/100
Dollars ($250,000) to be added to and made a part of the Escrow Deposit and
held by the Escrow Holder. If Seller has satisfied the conditions
precedent contained in Paragraphs 5A, 5C, 5D, 5E, 5F and 5I on or before
the Closing Date (as the same may be extended pursuant to the terms of this
Agreement), then the Escrow Deposit shall be deemed non-refundable and,
except as otherwise expressly provided in Paragraph 5H, in the event that
the transaction shall not close on the Closing Date (as the same may be
extended pursuant to the terms of this Agreement), Buyer shall be deemed to
be in default of this Agreement and pursuant to Paragraph 9 of this
Agreement, the Escrow Deposit shall be delivered to Seller as full
compensation and liquidated damages under and in connection with this
Agreement. For the purposes of the preceding sentence, Seller shall be
deemed to have satisfied the conditions precedent contained in Paragraphs
5A, 5C, 5D, 5E and 5F if the following occurs: (1) with respect to
Paragraph 5A, the Title Company shall be ready, willing and able to issue
the Title Policy subject the performance on the Closing Date of each of
Buyer's and Seller's obligations with respect to Exhibit "M"; (2) with

deliver the Theater Estoppel subject the execution and delivery by Lincoln
National, Buyer and/or Seller, as applicable, of such Theater Estoppel) and
Seller shall have satisfied the other conditions precedent contained in
subparagraphs 5F(1) and (2).

shall pay its own attorneys' fees and its respective share of prorations as
hereinafter provided. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the sale
contemplated hereby does not close on the Closing Date, then each party
shall pay all costs incurred by it.
4. PRORATIONS.
(1) ITEMS TO BE PRORATED. The following shall be
prorated between Seller and Buyer as of the Closing Date:
(1) Real property taxes and general and special
assessments upon the Property shall be adjusted on an accrual basis and
prorated, as of the Closing Date on the basis of the year for which such
taxes and assessments are levied and assessed (the "Tax Year"). For
example, if the Closing Date occurs on July 1, 1999, the Seller will be
responsible to pay (and Buyer shall receive a credit at Closing) for the
full taxes for Tax Year 1998 (payable in 1999) and for 182/365 of the taxes
for the year 1999 (payable in 2000). If the Closing shall occur before the
real property tax rate for the Tax Year is fixed, the apportionment of
taxes shall be made on the basis of a good faith estimate of Seller and
Buyer, but in no event less than 105% of the amount of taxes for the
previous Tax Year. After the real property taxes are finally fixed for the
1998 Tax Year, Buyer and Seller shall make a recalculation of the
apportionment of such taxes, and Buyer or Seller, as the case may be,
shall make an appropriate payment to the other based on such recalculation.
The proration for the 1999 Tax Year shall be final. To the extent that
either the Seller or Buyer shall obtain any real estate tax abatement with
respect to the Property which is applicable to the year in which the
Closing occurs, the amount of the net proceeds of such tax abatement shall
be prorated through the Closing Date if, as and when such proceeds are paid
or applied (and if applied, Buyer shall promptly after notice of such
application remit to Seller its share) by the applicable governmental
authority (it being understood that to the extent any tenant shall be
entitled to any portion of such tax abatement, that such portion shall be
turned over to Buyer to remit to such tenant and shall be deducted from any
tax abatement proceeds in connection with calculating the net proceeds
thereto). In no event shall Seller be charged with or be responsible for
any increase in the taxes on the Property resulting from the sale of the
Property or from any improvements made or leases entered into on or after
the Closing Date. If any assessments on the Property are payable in
installments, then the installment for the current period shall be prorated
(with Buyer assuming the obligation to pay any installments due after the
Closing Date).
(2) All fixed and additional rentals under the
leases (including, without limitation, percentage rentals based on the
sales of the tenants), refundable security deposits (together with interest
on such deposits to the extent required by law or by the terms of the
applicable leases) and other tenant charges. Seller shall deliver or
provide a credit in an amount equal to all prepaid rentals for periods
after the Closing Date and all refundable security deposits (to the extent
the foregoing are held by Seller and are not applied or forfeited prior to
the Closing Date) to Buyer on the Closing Date. Rents which are unpaid as
of the Closing Date shall not be prorated on the Closing Date. Buyer shall
include such delinquencies in its normal billing and shall diligently
pursue the collection thereof in good faith after the Closing Date (but
Buyer shall not be required to litigate or declare a default in any Lease).
To the extent Buyer receives rents on or after the Closing Date, such
payments shall be applied first toward then current rent owed to Buyer in
connection with the applicable Lease for which such payments are received,
and any excess monies received shall be applied toward the payment of any
delinquent rents, with Seller's share thereof being promptly delivered to
Seller. Buyer may not waive any delinquent rents nor modify a Lease so as
to reduce or otherwise affect amounts owed thereunder for any period in
which Seller is entitled to receive a share of charges or amounts without
first obtaining Seller's written consent. With respect to delinquent rents
and any other amounts or other rights of any kind respecting tenants who
are no longer tenants of the Property as of the Closing Date, Seller shall
retain all rights relating thereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
escalation rents and "pass throughs" shall be prorated as follows: subject
to the provisions of the following sentence, (i) Seller shall be entitled
to retain all escalation rents and "pass throughs" paid under the Leases
during the 1998 calendar year and Buyer shall pay to Seller all "pass-
throughs" and escalation rents received by Buyer but attributable to the
calendar year 1998 promptly after receipt thereof; and (ii) for the
calendar year 1999, there shall be a calculation of the portion of the
escalation rents and "pass-throughs" under the Leases to which Seller shall
be entitled, which portion shall be equal to a fraction, the numerator of
which is the number of days in the calendar year 1999 with respect to each
such lease which elapsed prior to the Closing Date and the denominator of
which is 365, and Buyer shall be entitled to the remaining portion of such
rents. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at Closing, the parties shall
estimate the amount by which the escalation rents and "pass throughs" paid
to Seller with respect to the Leases for each of the calendar years 1998
and 1999 exceeds the amount to which Seller is entitled pursuant thereto,
and Buyer shall receive a credit against the Purchase Price for the amount
of such excess; provided, however, that Buyer shall not receive a credit
for any amounts previously refunded by Seller to tenants and with respect
to which Seller provides Buyer with such documentation as may reasonably be
required by Buyer. Buyer and Seller shall recalculate the amount of the
escalation rents and "pass throughs" for the calendar year 1998 promptly
after Closing (if such recalculation has not been made prior to Closing)
and Buyer or Seller, as the case may be, shall make an appropriate payment
to the other based on such recalculation. The proration for escalation
rents and "pass throughs" for the 1999 calendar year shall be final.
Seller shall receive a credit in an amount equal to the sum of (y) $10,000
for each month of the 1999 calendar year prior to the month in which the
Closing Date occurs, plus (z) the product of $10,000 multiplied by a
fraction, the numerator of which is the date of the Closing, and the
denominator of which is the number of days in the month in which the
Closing occurs, as the proration for percentage rents for the calendar year
1999 and such proration shall be final.
(3) Rentals and other payments, under the Toys
"R" Us Ground Lease shall be prorated as follows: (i) for the calendar year
1998, all escalation, percentage and "pass-through" rents that have not
been paid to Seller on or before Closing shall be remitted to Seller by
Buyer promptly after receipt thereof; and (ii) for calendar year 1999, (y)
fixed rent and "pass-through" rents shall be prorated as of the Closing
Date; and (z) percentage rentals shall be prorated in accordance with
paragraph 6(D)(1)(b).
(4) All payments to be made to Seller under the
Operating Agreement.
(5) All payments to be made to Seller under the
Declarations.
(6) Interest under the Lincoln National Loan
Documents, if applicable.
(7) If Buyer assumes the Lincoln National Loan,
Seller shall assign to Buyer at Closing all of its right, title and
interest in and to the Tax Escrow held by Lincoln National and the tax
proration made pursuant to paragraph 6D(1)(a) shall be adjusted
accordingly.
(8) If the Closing shall occur before the actual
amount of utilities, water or sewer meter charges or other operating
expenses with respect to the Property for the month in which the Closing
occurs (or, in the case of the electric utility, portions of the calendar
year 1998 and 1999) are determined, the apportionment of such utilities,
water or sewer meter charges or other operating expenses shall be upon the
basis of a reasonable estimate by Seller and Buyer of such utilities, water
or sewer meter charges or other operating expenses for such month.
Subsequent to the Closing, when the actual amount of such utilities, water
or sewer meter charges or other operating expenses with respect to the
month in which the Closing occurs (or, in the case of electricity, all
months for which final bills have not been received on the Closing Date)
are determined, the parties agree to adjust the proration of such
utilities, water or sewer meter charges or other operating expenses and, if
necessary, to refund or repay such sums as shall be necessary to effect
such adjustment.
(9) Buyer shall receive a credit at Closing for
the unpaid portion of the tenant improvement allowance payable to Silver
Cinemas, Inc. under the Theater Lease; and any unpaid tenant improvement
allowances and leasing commissions for leases entered into by Seller prior
to the Effective Date (exclusive of any amount that would become payable
upon the exercise by any existing tenant of any option to renew its lease).
(10) Other operating expenses (including under any
"Service Agreements", as hereinafter defined, assigned hereunder).
(2) CALCULATION. The prorations and payments shall be
made on the basis of a written statement submitted to Buyer and Seller by
Escrow Holder prior to the Close of Escrow and approved by Buyer and
Seller. In the event any prorations or apportionments made under this
subparagraph D shall prove to be incorrect for any reason, then any party
shall be entitled to an adjustment to correct the same provided written
notice of such inaccuracy and request for correction is given within six
months after the date hereof. Any item which cannot be finally prorated
because of the unavailability of information shall be tentatively prorated
on the basis of the best data then available and reprorated when the
information is available, but not later than November 30, 1999 (except in
the case of taxes, under paragraph 6D(1)(a) and rents, under
paragraph 6D(1)(b), which shall be reprorated, if at all, at the times set
forth in such paragraphs).
8. CONDEMNATION OR DESTRUCTION OF PROPERTY. Seller shall promptly
give notice to Buyer in the event that, after the date hereof but prior to
the Closing Date, either any portion of the Property is taken pursuant to
eminent domain proceedings or any of the improvements on the Property are
damaged or destroyed by any casualty. Seller shall have no obligation to
repair or replace any such damage or destruction. Seller shall, upon
consummation of the transaction herein provided, assign to Buyer all claims
of Seller respecting any condemnation or casualty insurance coverage, as
applicable, and all condemnation proceeds or proceeds from any such
casualty insurance received by Seller on account of any casualty (the
damage from which shall not have been repaired by Seller prior to the
Closing Date), as applicable (together with any deductible which may be
payable under Seller's insurance policy with respect to any applicable
casualty); provided, however, that Seller shall retain any proceeds
received (and the right to receive any proceeds) of rental income insurance
or a temporary taking award that are attributable to a period prior to the
Closing Date. In the event the condemnation award or the cost of repair of
damage to the Property on account of a casualty, as applicable, shall
exceed $500,000, Buyer may, at its option, terminate this Agreement by
notice to Seller, given on or before the Closing Date and, upon any such
termination, the Escrow Deposit shall be refunded to Buyer; provided,
however, Buyer shall have not less than five (5) business days after it
receives notice of any condemnation or casualty to examine the Property to
determine the extent of the damage (and the Closing Date shall be extended,
if necessary, to permit such 5-day review).
9. REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS.
1. REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS OF SELLER.
(1) GENERAL DISCLAIMER. Except for the matters covered

(7) DUE AUTHORITY. This Agreement and all

State of Illinois, and is duly authorized and qualified to do all things
required of it under this Agreement. Seller has the capacity and authority
to enter into this Agreement and consummate the transactions herein
provided.

phrase "to Seller's knowledge" means only the present actual knowledge of
Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx, the partnership coordinator of JMB Realty Corporation
currently overseeing the investments of Seller in the Property, after
having Xxxx Xxxxxxxxxx of Urban Retail Properties, Seller's third party
property manager, and Xxxxx Warsaw of Urban Retail Properties, Seller's
third party leasing agent, review the representations and warranties
contained herein, but otherwise without any duty to investigate and with
any imputed or constructive knowledge being excluded.
(15) KNOWLEDGE OF BUYER AFFILIATES. Seller
acknowledges that certain partners, employees, officers and agents of buyer
and buyer's affiliates own limited partnership interests in seller. Seller
agrees that any knowledge (whether actual or constructive) that any of such
persons may have with respect to the property shall not be imputed to
buyer.
2. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF BUYER. Buyer hereby
represents and warrants that this Agreement and all agreements, instruments
and documents herein provided to be executed or to be caused to be executed
by Buyer are and on the Closing Date will be duly authorized, executed and
delivered by and are binding upon Buyer; Buyer is a limited liability
company, duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the
laws of the State of Delaware, and is duly authorized and qualified to do
all things required of it under this Agreement; and Buyer has the capacity
and authority to enter into this Agreement and consummate the transactions
herein provided.
3. SURVIVAL. Any cause of action of a party for a breach or
default by the other party with respect to any representations, warranties,
indemnifications, covenants or other obligations (whether express or
implied) under this agreement or any of the documents delivered at closing
(or any other document executed or delivered in connection with any of the
foregoing) shall survive until the date that is six (6) months after the
Closing Date (as the same may be extended pursuant to the terms of this
agreement) (the "Survival Period"), at which time all such representations,
warranties, indemnifications, covenants and obligations (and any cause of
action resulting from a breach or default thereof not then in litigation)
shall terminate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if buyer shall have
actual knowledge as of the closing date that any of the representations or
warranties of seller contained herein are false or inaccurate or that
seller is in breach or default of any of its obligations under this
agreement, and buyer nonetheless closes the transactions hereunder and
acquires the property, then seller shall have no liability or obligation
respecting such false or inaccurate representations or warranties or other
breach or default (and any cause of action resulting therefrom shall
terminate upon such closing hereunder). As used herein, actual knowledge
of buyer means Xxxxxxx X. Xxxxxxxx and Xxxxxxxx X. Xxxxxxxxxx.
4. INTERIM COVENANTS OF SELLER. Until the Closing Date or
the sooner termination of this Agreement:
(1) Seller shall maintain the Property in the same
manner as prior hereto pursuant to its normal course of business (such
maintenance obligations not including extraordinary capital expenditures or
expenditures not incurred in such normal course of business), subject to
reasonable wear and tear and further subject to destruction by casualty or
other events beyond the control of Seller.
(2) Seller shall not enter into any additional service
contracts or other similar agreements without the prior consent of Buyer,
except those deemed reasonably necessary by Seller, are at "market" rates
and are cancelable on 30 days' notice.
(3) Seller shall have the right to continue to offer
the Property for lease in the same manner as prior hereto pursuant to its
normal course of business and shall keep Buyer reasonably informed as to
the status of leasing and material matters regarding existing tenants prior
to the Closing Date. After the Effective Date, Seller shall not enter into
any new Leases or material modifications of Leases thereafter without the
consent of Buyer. In no event shall Seller have any obligation to enter
into any new lease or modify any existing Lease unless Buyer shall agree to
pay or reimburse Seller on the Closing Date for all tenant improvement
costs and leasing commissions incurred by Seller under or in connection
therewith (Buyer's agreement to pay or reimburse for such amounts not to be
unreasonably withheld).
(4) Seller shall not enter into any modification of the
Toys "R" Us Ground Lease, the Operating Agreement, any of the Declarations
or the Lincoln National Loan Documents without the prior written consent of
Buyer.
(5) Seller shall maintain its existing insurance (or
substantially equivalent coverage) through Closing.
(6) Seller shall cause meter readings to be taken for
all utility, water, sewer and other metered charges and operating expenses
as of the Closing Date. The meter readings may be taken up to three (3)
days prior to Closing and there shall be a per diem adjustment from the
date of each reading until the Closing Date (which adjustment shall be
final).
(7) Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts
(a) to obtain copies of any Declaration not previously delivered to Buyer
including, without limitation, the Declarations for Sammy's and Ameritech;
and (b) to cause, with the assistance of Buyer, Homart or its successor to
assign to Buyer at Closing the right of the Developer (as defined in each
Declaration) to enforce the obligations of the Owner (as defined in each
Declaration) under the Declaration to which such Owner is a party.
10. DISPOSITION OF DEPOSIT. If the transaction herein provided
shall not be closed by reason of seller's default under this Agreement or
the failure of satisfaction of the conditions described in Paragraph 5
hereof or the termination of this agreement in accordance with Paragraph 7
hereof, and buyer shall not have defaulted under this Agreement, then the
escrow deposit shall be returned to Buyer, and neither party shall have any
further obligation or liability to the other; provided, however, if the
transactions hereunder shall fail to close by reason of Seller's default,
and Buyer shall have performed in all material respects its obligations
hereunder and shall be ready, willing and able to close, then Buyer shall
be entitled to specifically enforce this Agreement (but no other action,
for damages or otherwise, shall be permitted) subject to the provisions of
Paragraph 10I hereof. In the event the transaction herein provided shall
not close by reason of the default of buyer, then the escrow deposit shall
be delivered to seller as full compensation and liquidated damages under
and in connection with this agreement. In the event the transaction herein
provided shall close, the escrow deposit shall be applied as a partial
payment of the purchase price. In connection with the foregoing, the
parties recognize that seller will incur expense in connection with the
transaction contemplated by this agreement and that the property will be
removed from the market; further, that it is extremely difficult and
impracticable to ascertain the extent of detriment to seller caused by the
breach by buyer under this agreement and the failure of the consummation of
the transaction contemplated by this agreement or the amount of
compensation Seller should receive as a result of buyer's breach or
default. In the event the sale of the property shall not be consummated on
account of Buyer's default, then the retention of the escrow deposit shall
be Seller's sole and exclusive remedy under this agreement by reason of
such default, subject to the provisions of paragraph 10I hereof.

(1) Except as provided in Subparagraph (2) below,
Seller represents and warrants to Buyer, and Buyer represents and warrants
to Seller, that no broker or finder has been engaged by it, respectively,
in connection with any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement
or to its knowledge is in any way connected with any of such transactions.
In the event of a claim for broker's or finder's fee or commissions in
connection herewith, then seller shall indemnify and defend Buyer from the
same if it shall be based upon any statement or agreement alleged to have
been made by Seller, and Buyer shall indemnify and defend Seller from the
same if it shall be based upon any statement or agreement alleged to have
been made by Buyer. The indemnification obligations under this Paragraph
10A(1) shall survive the closing of the transactions hereunder or the
earlier termination of this Agreement.
(2) If and only if the sale contemplated herein closes,
seller agrees to pay a brokerage commission to hamptons international (the
"Broker") pursuant to a separate written agreement. The foregoing payment
shall be the sole commission, fee or payment payable to Broker in
connection with the transactions hereunder. Buyer agrees to pay the fees

loan and the additional loan including, without limitation, Xxxxx & Warner

2. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.
(1) RE SELLER.
(1) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein, if the closing of the transactions hereunder shall have
occurred (and Buyer shall not have waived, relinquished or released any
applicable rights in further limitation), the aggregate liability of Seller
arising pursuant to or in connection with the representations, warranties,
indemnifications, covenants or other obligations (whether express or
implied) of seller under this agreement (or any document executed or
delivered in connection herewith) or otherwise in connection with the
property shall be limited to actual damages and shall in no event exceed
$1,500,000 in the aggregate.
(2) No constituent partner in or agent of seller,
nor any advisor, trustee, director, officer, employee, beneficiary,

not limited to, JMB Realty Corporation) shall have any personal liability,
directly or indirectly, under or in connection with this agreement or any
agreement made or entered into under or pursuant to the provisions of this
agreement, or any amendment or amendments to any of the foregoing made at
any time or times, heretofore or hereafter, and buyer and its successors
and assigns and, without limitation, all other persons and entities, shall
look solely to Seller's assets for the payment of any claim or for any
performance, and Buyer, on behalf of itself and its successors and assigns,
hereby waives any and all such personal liability. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, neither the negative
capital account of any constituent partner in seller (or in any other
constituent partner of Seller), nor any obligation of any constituent
partner in seller (or in any other constituent partner of seller) to
restore a negative capital account or to contribute capital to seller (or
to any other constituent partner of seller), shall at any time be deemed to
be the property or an asset of seller or any such other constituent partner
(and neither Buyer nor any of its successors or assigns shall have any
right to collect, enforce or proceed against or with respect to any such
negative capital account of partner's obligation to restore or contribute).
(3) Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) if Seller
or its successor-in-interest shall fail to retain reserves of at least
$1,500,000 at the time of Closing hereunder or (ii) if during the period
commencing on the Closing Date and ending on the expiration of the survival
period, seller or its successor-in-interest shall utilize such reserves for
any purpose other than the payment of claims, expenses, liabilities or
attorneys' fees of seller or such successor-in-interest (including any
amounts incurred in connection with resolving or defending any claim of
liability hereunder) with respect to a breach or alleged breach of the
representations, warranties, indemnifications, covenants or other
obligations (whether express or implied) of seller under this agreement (or
any document executed or delivered in connection herewith), or is otherwise
related to, connected with or concerns the
property in any manner (collectively, the "Specified Liabilities"),
then subject to the terms and conditions of this agreement, buyer may,
during the survival period, look to the assets of JMB Realty Corporation,
as the General Partner or the General Partners of Seller, for the payment
of any specified liabilities; provided, however, the aggregate liability of
JMB Realty Corporation in connection therewith shall not exceed $1,500,000
in the aggregate and shall be further limited as follows:
(x) with respect to the initial reserve
amount, such liability shall be limited to the lesser of the amount by
which $1,500,000 exceeds the amount actually reserved by seller or its
successor-in-interest in closing hereunder, and $1,500,000; or
(y) during the Survival Period, such
liability shall be limited to the lesser of the amount of such reserves
which, during the survival period, are utilized for purposes other than the
payment of the specified liabilities, and $1,500,000.
(2) RE BUYER.
(1) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein, if the closing of the transactions hereunder shall have
occurred (and Seller shall not have waived, relinquished or released any
applicable rights in further limitation), the aggregate liability of Buyer
arising pursuant to or in connection with the representations, warranties,
indemnifications, covenants or other obligations (whether express or
implied) of Buyer under this Agreement (or any document executed or
delivered in connection herewith) or otherwise in connection with the
Property shall be limited to actual damages and shall in no event exceed
$1,500,000 in the aggregate.
(2) No constituent member or agent of Buyer, nor
any advisor, partner, trustee, director, officer, employee, beneficiary,
shareholder, participant, representative or agent of any corporation or
trust that is or becomes a constituent member in Buyer shall have any
personal liability, directly or indirectly, under or in connection with
this Agreement or any agreement made or entered into under or pursuant to
the provisions of this Agreement, or any amendment or amendments to any of
the foregoing made at any time or times, heretofore or hereafter, and
Seller and its successors and assigns and, without limitation, all other
persons and entities, shall look solely to Buyer's assets including the
Escrow Deposit for the payment of any claim or for any performance, and
Seller, on behalf of itself and its successors and assigns, hereby waives
any and all such personal liability. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in this Agreement, neither the negative capital account
of any constituent member in Buyer (or in any other constituent partner or
member of Buyer), nor any obligation of any constituent member in Buyer (or
in any other constituent partner or member of Buyer) to restore a negative
capital account or to contribute capital to Buyer (or to any other
constituent partner or member of Buyer), shall at any time be deemed to be
the property or an asset of Buyer or any such other constituent partner or
member (and neither Buyer nor any of its successors or assigns shall have
any right to collect, enforce or proceed against or with respect to any
such negative capital account of a partner's or member's obligation to
restore or contribute).
3. ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This agreement contains the entire
agreement between the parties respecting the matters herein set forth and
supersedes all prior agreements between the parties hereto respecting such
matters. This Agreement may not be modified or amended except by written
agreement signed by both parties.
4. TIME OF THE ESSENCE. Time is of the essence of this
Agreement; provided, however, the parties acknowledge that, if reasonably
necessary to effectuate the transactions contemplated, the Closing Date may
be extended but in any event not for more than five (5) business days. In
the computation of any period of time provided for in this Agreement or by
law, the day of the act or event from which the period of time runs shall
be excluded, and the last day of such period shall be included, unless it
is a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday, in which case the period shall be

counsel, after negotiation and consultation, have reviewed and revised this
agreement. As such, the terms of this agreement shall be fairly construed

herein should be resolved against the drafting party, shall not be employed
in the interpretation of this agreement or any amendments, modifications or
exhibits hereto or thereto.
6. GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement shall be construed and
enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Illinois.
7. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. Buyer may not assign or transfer
its rights or obligations under this agreement without the prior written
consent of Seller (in which event such transferee shall assume in writing
all of the transferor's obligations hereunder, but such transferor shall
not be released from its obligations hereunder); provided, however, Buyer
may assign its interest in this agreement to a limited liability company or
to a limited partnership in which buyer or an entity controlled by or
affiliated with Buyer or Blackstone Real Estate Advisors L.P. Is a
participant, and thereafter Buyer shall have no further obligations or
liability hereunder. No consent given by Seller to any transfer or
assignment of Buyer's rights or obligations hereunder shall be construed as
a consent to any other transfer or assignment of buyer's rights or
obligations hereunder. No transfer or assignment in violation of the
provisions hereof shall be valid or enforceable. Subject to the foregoing,
this agreement and the terms and provisions hereof shall inure to the
benefit of and be binding upon the successors and assigns of the parties.

desirable by such party to effect and evidence the conveyance of the
property in accordance with the terms of this agreement (provided the same
do not impose material costs, obligations or liabilities not otherwise
contemplated by this agreement).
The submission of this Agreement for examination is not intended to
nor shall constitute an offer to sell, or a reservation of, or option or
proposal of any kind for the purchase of the property. In no event shall
any draft of this agreement create any obligation or liability, it being
understood that this agreement shall be effective and binding only when a
counterpart hereof has been executed and delivered by each party hereto to
escrow holder. Escrow Holder shall date this agreement with the date on
which Escrow Holder shall have received this Agreement executed by both
buyer and seller (and such date shall be the "Effective Date" for purposes
hereof).
