to Buyer) an update of that certain survey of the Property dated February,

"Approval Notice" on or before the end of the "Due Diligence Period" (as
such terms are hereinafter defined), Buyer shall be deemed to have approved
the exceptions to title shown on the Commitments and the matters disclosed
on the Survey. Approval by Buyer of any additional exceptions to title or
survey matters disclosed after the end of the Due Diligence Period 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 any exceptions to title
or survey matters 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; (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 title exceptions disapproved by
Buyer. In addition, if the Commitments disclose 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.
(2) TITLE POLICIES. 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 policies (the "TITLE

policy in the standard form issued in the State of Ohio, in the face amount
of the Purchase Price, which policy shows title to the ENCURC Leasehold
Estate to be vested of record in Buyer, and the following to be the only
exceptions to title ("PERMITTED EXCEPTIONS"):

yet due and payable;
(ii) The printed exceptions which appear in

extent the same are in Seller's possession; and
(j) Such additional documents (including transfer
tax declarations and the like) as may be reasonably required by Buyer or
Title Company in order to consummate the transactions hereunder (provided
the same do not materially increase the costs to, or liability or
obligations of, Seller in a manner not otherwise provided for herein).
(2) BUYER DELIVERIES. Buyer shall deliver, or cause to
be delivered, to Seller the following:
(a) A duly executed and acknowledged Assignment
and Assumption Agreement;
(b) Duly executed Notices of Closing;
(c) A certificate of Buyer ("BUYER CLOSING
CERTIFICATE") updating the representations and warranties contained in
paragraph 8B hereof to the Closing Date and noting any changes thereto;
(d) To the extent applicable, the Lender
Agreements duly executed by Buyer;
(e) Evidence reasonably satisfactory to Seller
and Title Company respecting the due organization of Buyer and the due
authorization and execution of this Agreement and the documents required to

(f) Such additional documents (including transfer
tax declarations and the like) as may be reasonably required by Seller or
Title Company in or to consummate the transactions hereunder (provided the
same do not materially increase the costs to, or liability or obligations
of, Buyer in a manner not otherwise provided for herein).
C. CLOSING COSTS. Seller shall pay at Closing (i) any
transfer tax attributable to the ENCURC Ground Lease Assignment and
Assumption, (ii) the title insurance premium for the Title Policies at a
rate not in excess of standard issue rates, (iii) the costs to update the
Survey, and (iv) any recording fees attributable to the documents releasing
the Loan. Buyer shall pay at Closing (i) the costs of all so-called
"extended coverage" in connection with, or endorsements to, the Title
Policies, together with the cost of any other title insurance coverage
(such as lender's insurance policies), and (ii) all fees, costs or expenses
incurred by Buyer in connection with Buyer's due diligence reviews
hereunder. Each of Seller and Buyer 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.
D. PRORATIONS.
(1) ITEMS TO BE PRORATED. The following shall be
prorated between Seller and Buyer as of the Closing Date:
(a) 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 fiscal year for such
taxes and assessments (the "TAX YEAR"). 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. After the real property taxes are finally fixed for the Tax Year in
which the Closing occurs, 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.
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).
(b) All fixed and additional rentals under the
leases, 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: At the
end of the fiscal year in which the Closing occurs with respect to which
escalation rents and "pass throughs" are payable under each lease, there
shall be a calculation of the portion of such rents to which Seller shall
be entitled, which portion shall be equal to a fraction, the numerator of
which is the number of days in said fiscal year with respect to each such
lease which elapsed prior to the Closing Date and the denominator of which
is the total number of days in said fiscal year, and Buyer shall be
entitled to the remaining portion of such rents. If Seller has received
escalation rents or "pass throughs" with respect to any lease for a fiscal
year in excess of the amount to which it is entitled pursuant hereto, such
excess shall be paid by Seller to Buyer within ten (10) business days after
the date of such calculation. If Buyer has received escalation rents or
"pass throughs" with respect to any lease for such fiscal year in excess of
the amount to which it is entitled pursuant hereto, such excess shall be
paid by Buyer to Seller within ten (10) business days after the date of
such calculation.
(c) Rentals and other payments, under the ENCURC
Ground Lease and the Xxxx Ground Lease.
(d) Installments and other payments under the
ENCURC Note and ENCURC Mortgage.
(e) Interest under the New York Life Loan
Documents.
(f) Seller shall assign to Buyer its interest in
the Xxxxx & Xxxxxxxxx Escrow Agreement and the Releasing Expense Escrow
Agreement, and to the escrow amounts held thereunder, and Buyer shall pay
to Seller an amount equal to (i) the sum of the escrow balances held
thereunder as of the Closing Date (currently being approximately $251,000
in the Xxxxx & Xxxxxxxxx Escrow account and approximately $716,000 in the
Releasing Expense Escrow account, with balances anticipated to be
approximately $160,000 and $437,000, respectively at Closing), minus (ii)
$100,000.
(g) 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 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 Property for the
month in which the Closing occurs 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.
(h) 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 six months after the date
hereof.
7. 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; 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).

warranties (and any cause of action resulting from a breach 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

9. 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 SOLELY BY REASON OF SELLER'S
DEFAULT, AND BUYER SHALL HAVE FULLY PERFORMED 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). IN THE EVENT THE TRANSACTION HEREIN
PROVIDED SHALL NOT CLOSE FOR ANY REASON OTHER THAN THE FAILURE OF
SATISFACTION OF THE CONDITIONS DESCRIBED IN PARAGRAPH 5 HEREOF OR THE
TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT IN ACCORDANCE WITH PARAGRAPH 7 HEREOF OR THE
DEFAULT OF SELLER, 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

B. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.
RE SELLER.
(a) 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
$2,000,000 in the aggregate.
(b) No constituent partner in or agent of Seller,
nor any advisor, trustee, director, officer, employee, beneficiary,
shareholder, participant, representative or agent of any corporation or
trust that is or becomes a constituent partner in Seller (including, but
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).
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) if Seller
or its successor-in-interest shall fail to retain reserves of at least
$2,000,000 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 $2,000,000 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 $2,000,000 exceeds the amount actually reserved by Seller or its
successor-in-interest in closing hereunder, and $2,000,000; 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 $2,000,000.
RE BUYER.
(a) 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

Property shall be limited to actual damages and shall in no event exceed
$2,000,000 in the aggregate.
(b) No constituent partner in or agent of Buyer,
nor any advisor, trustee, director, officer, employee, beneficiary,
shareholder, participant, representative or agent of any corporation or

personal liability, directly or indirectly, under or in connection with
this Agreement or any agreement made or entered into under or pursuant to
