the term.

credit against the Purchase Price for the total sum of all security and other

or solicit offers from, any other prospective purchasers during the term of this
Agreement.
21. REIT. Buyer hereby advises Seller that Buyer is qualified as a real
estate investment trust under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended, and that, by reason thereof, the maintaining of such status
and the avoiding of any activity which might cause a penalty tax to be applied
is of material concern to Buyer. Accordingly, Seller agrees to make any
modifications or amendments to this Agreement requested by Buyer prior to
Closing that may be necessary for Buyer to maintain its status as a real estate
investment trust or in order for it to avoid a penalty tax; provided, however,
that Seller shall have no obligation to enter into any such modification or
amendment that would materially alter or affect, in Seller's sole judgment,
Seller's rights, duties, or obligations under this Agreement. If Seller declines
to modify or amend this Agreement for any reason in a manner which Buyer
determines, in the good faith exercise of its reasonable business judgment, is
necessary to maintain its status as a real estate investment trust or avoid a
penalty tax, Buyer shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by written
notice delivered to Seller prior to Closing. In the event Buyer exercises such
termination right, neither party shall have any further rights or obligations
hereunder, the Deposit shall be returned to Buyer and all other funds and
documents deposited in escrow shall be returned to the party depositing the
