(o) Loan Documents. Copies of the existing deed of trust encumbering
the Property (the “Existing Deed of Trust”), securing the existing promissory note
(the “Existing Note”) in favor of Citigroup Global Markets Realty Group, its
successors and assigns (“Lender”), with an unpaid principal balance estimated as of
the Close of Escrow to be approximately $5,767,000.00, and the other documents and
correspondence (collectively with the Existing Deed of Trust and the Existing Note, the
“Existing Loan Documents”) evidencing or securing the loan evidenced by the Existing
Note and the Existing Deed of Trust (the “Existing Loan”). Purchaser is advised that
Lender is certainly requiring impounds for taxes, insurance and replacements in the
approximate amounts of $25,000, $3,500, and 285,000, respectively.
In addition, Seller shall make available to Purchaser at the Property all of the documents and
information more particularly described in Exhibit G attached hereto, and any other
information regarding the Property which Purchaser shall reasonably request, to the extent in
Seller’s possession or control, or in the possession of its agents or representatives.
Seller shall during the pendency of this Agreement provide Purchaser with any known document
described above coming into Seller’s possession or produced by Seller after the initial delivery of
the Property Information. Seller shall provide Purchaser with an updated Rent Roll, dated as of
the last day of the month, for each month during the pendency of this Agreement.
2.2 Due Diligence. Purchaser shall have through the last day of the Due Diligence
Period in which to examine, inspect, and investigate the Property and, in Purchaser’s sole and
absolute judgment and discretion, to determine whether the Property is acceptable to Purchaser and
to obtain all necessary internal approvals of Purchaser. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
in this Agreement, Purchaser may terminate this Agreement by giving written notice of termination
to Seller (the “Due Diligence Termination Notice”) on or before the last day of the Due
Diligence Period. If Purchaser does not give a notice of its intent to continue this Agreement
beyond the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, Purchaser shall be deemed to have given a Due
Diligence Termination Notice, and this Agreement shall be deemed terminated.
Purchaser shall have reasonable access to the Property for the purpose of conducting surveys,
architectural, engineering, geotechnical and environmental inspections and tests (including
intrusive inspection and sampling), and any other inspections, studies, or tests reasonably
required by Purchaser. Purchaser shall keep the Property free and clear of any liens and will
indemnify, defend, and hold Seller harmless from all claims and liabilities asserted against Seller
as a result of any such entry by Purchaser, its agents, employees or representatives, excluding any
claims or liabilities arising from Purchaser’s
4
discovery of any condition relating to the Property. If any inspection or test disturbs the
Property, Purchaser will restore the Property to substantially the same condition as existed
prior to any such inspection or test. Purchaser and its agents, employees, and representatives
shall have a continuing right of reasonable access to the Property during the pendency of this
Agreement, upon reasonable notice, for the purpose of examining and making copies of all books and
records and other materials relating to the Property in Seller’s or its property manager’s
possession and Purchaser shall have the right to conduct a “walk-through” of the Property prior to
the Closing upon appropriate notice to tenants as permitted under the Leases. In the course of its
investigations, Purchaser may make inquiries to third parties, including, without limitation,
lenders, contractors, property managers, parties to Service Contracts and municipal, local and
other government officials and representatives, and Seller consents to such inquiries. Purchaser
shall only interview tenants of the Property following reasonable notice to Seller, and such
interviews will be deferred to the final week of the Due Diligence Period unless otherwise agreed
by Seller. Purchaser agrees that during the term of this Agreement and for a period of 9 months
following a termination of this Agreement for any reason other than Seller’s default, Purchaser
will not solicit any tenant of the Property interviewed by Purchaser pursuant to the terms of this
Agreement; provided, however, that this restriction shall not act as a prohibition against
Purchaser responding to an unsolicited offer or discussion initiated by a prospective tenant or its
representative. The obligations of the Purchaser under this paragraph shall survive the
termination of the Agreement.
2.3 Service Contracts. During the Due Diligence Period, Purchaser will advise Seller
of those Service Contracts which Purchaser will assume and which Service Contracts are to be
terminated by Seller at Closing. Purchaser will assume the obligations arising from and after the
Closing Date under those Service Contracts that are not in default as of the Closing Date and which
Purchaser has agreed will not be terminated. Seller shall terminate at Closing and pay all amounts
due on account of all Service Contracts that are not to be so assumed. Seller shall terminate at
Closing, and Purchaser shall not assume, any property management agreement or leasing arrangement
affecting the Property and Seller shall also simultaneously either (a) terminate any existing lease
(whether written, oral or otherwise) on the Property between Seller and any existing property
management or leasing firm, or any affiliated entity, under which rent is waived or is discounted
as of the Closing Date, or (b) modify any such lease to provide for a then-current market rent.
Purchaser may not contact, interview, and hire any on-site property management personnel, including
those employed by Seller, without Seller’s prior consent.
2.4 Existing Loan Documents. During the Due Diligence Period, Purchaser and
Seller shall jointly seek Lender’s approval of the Existing Loan. Purchaser agrees to initiate its
application to the Lender within 5 business days following the Date of this Agreement, so long as
Purchaser is not obligated to pay any material fees to Lender until it has made at least a
preliminary determination that it intends to proceed with its purchase of the Property. If Lender
fails to approve the assumption of the Existing Loan by Purchaser on the terms of the Existing Loan
Documents (as hereinafter defined), without modification, or if Lender imposes material conditions
to the assumption of the Existing Loan Documents by Purchaser (other than those which are expressly
set forth in the Existing Loan Documents) that are unacceptable to Purchaser, in either case,
Purchaser may, by written notice to Seller, elect to terminate this Agreement, in which event the
Xxxxxxx Money shall be refunded to Purchaser, and each of the parties shall, except to the extent
expressly provided in this Agreement, be released from further liability to the other. If Lender
approves the assumption of the Existing Loan by Purchaser on the terms of the Existing Loan
Documents or otherwise on terms acceptable to Purchaser, Purchaser shall so advise Seller and
Escrow Agent in writing, and the parties shall thereafter proceed to the Close of Escrow as
provided herein. Purchaser and Seller shall each use its good faith reasonable efforts to secure
said approval, including, but not limited to, supplying Lender with such information as Lender
shall require, as soon as reasonably possible following the Effective Date.
5
ARTICLE 3: TITLE AND SURVEY REVIEW
3.1 Delivery of Title Commitment and Survey. Purchaser shall cause to be prepared:
(i) a current, effective commitment for title insurance (the “Title Commitment”) issued by
the Title Company, in the amount of the Purchase Price with Purchaser as the proposed insured, and
accompanied by true, complete, and legible copies of all documents referred to in the Title
Commitment; and (ii) a current ALTA-ACSM survey of the Property (the “Survey”), including a
certification addressed to Purchaser in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B.
3.2 Title Review and Cure. During the Due Diligence Period, Purchaser shall review
title to the Property as disclosed by the Title Commitment and the Survey. Seller will reasonably
cooperate with Purchaser in curing any objections Purchaser may have to title to the Property.
Seller shall have no obligation to cure title objections except mortgages and liens of an
ascertainable amount created by, under or through Seller, which Seller shall cause to be satisfied
and released at the Closing. Seller further agrees to remove any exceptions or encumbrances to
title of which are created by, under or through Seller after the Date of this Agreement without
Purchaser’s consent. Purchaser may terminate this Agreement and receive a refund of the Xxxxxxx
Money if the Title Company revises the Title Commitment after the expiration of the Due Diligence
Period to add or modify exceptions or endorsements to the Title Commitment as a result of events
occurring following the Date of this Agreement and through no fault of Purchaser, if such additions
or modifications are adverse and not acceptable to Purchaser and are not removed by the Closing
Date. The term “Permitted Exceptions” shall mean: the specific exceptions (exceptions that
are not part of the promulgated title insurance form) in the Title Commitment that the Title
Company has not agreed to insure over or remove from the Title Commitment as of the end of the Due
Diligence Period and that Seller is not required to remove as provided above; items shown on the
Survey, which have not been removed as of the end of the Due Diligence Period; real estate taxes
not yet due and payable; and tenants in possession as tenants only under the Leases without any
option to purchase or acquire an interest in the Property.
3.3 Delivery of Title Policy at Closing. As a condition to Purchaser’s obligation to
close, the Escrow Agent shall deliver to Purchaser at Closing an ALTA Form B (or other form
required by state law) Owner’s Policy of Title Insurance (the “Title Policy”), with
extended coverage (i.e., with ALTA General Exceptions 1 through 5 deleted, or with corresponding
deletions if the Property is located in a non-ALTA state), issued by the Title Company as of the
date and time of the recording of the Deed, in the amount of the Purchase Price, containing the
Purchaser’s Endorsements, insuring Purchaser as owner of good, marketable and indefeasible fee
simple title to the Property, and subject only to the Permitted Exceptions. “Purchaser’s
Endorsements” shall mean, to the extent such endorsements are available under the laws of the
state in which the Property is located: (a) owner’s comprehensive; (b) access; (c) survey (accuracy
of survey); (d) location (survey legal matches title legal); (e) separate tax lot; (f) legal lot;
(g) zoning 3.1, with parking; and (h) such other endorsements as Purchaser may require based on its
review of the Title Commitment and Survey which Title Company agrees to issue prior to the end of
the Due Diligence Period. Seller shall execute at Closing an owner’s affidavit in such form as the
Title Company shall reasonably require for the issuance of the Title Policy. The Title Policy may
be delivered after the Closing if at the Closing the Title Company issues a currently effective,
duly-executed “marked-up” Title Commitment and irrevocably
commits in writing to issue the Title Policy in the form of the “marked-up” Title Commitment promptly after the Closing Date.
ARTICLE 4: OPERATIONS AND RISK OF LOSS
4.1 Ongoing Operations. During the pendency of this Agreement:
6
(a) Performance under Leases and Service Contracts. Seller shall (i)
carry on its business and activities relating to the Property substantially in the same
manner as it did before the Date of this Agreement, and (ii) shall perform its material
obligations under the Existing Loan Documents, Leases, Service Contracts and other
agreements that may affect the Property.
(b) Leasing Arrangements. Without Purchaser’s prior written consent
in each instance, Seller will not amend or terminate any existing Lease, or enter into a new
Lease concerning the Property. Purchaser’s consent shall not be unreasonably withheld so
long as (i) the new Lease is for a term of 3 — 5 years, at a minimum rental of $16 per
square foot, and with tenant improvement costs not to exceed $10 per square foot. Prior to
the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, failure of Purchaser to respond to a request for
consent within 5 business days shall be deemed approval. All leasing commissions and tenant
improvement costs or allowances for existing Leases shall be paid by Seller prior to the
Closing, except for commissions and tenant improvement costs for Leases entered into
following the Date of this Agreement which have been approved by Purchaser. Seller shall
not offset or apply all or any portion of any security deposit held by Seller in connection
with any Lease with a term which extends beyond the Closing Date.
(c) New Contracts. Seller will not enter into any Service Contract
or other agreement that will be an obligation affecting the Property subsequent to the
Closing, except contracts entered into in the ordinary course of business that are
terminable without cause on or prior to the Closing.
(d) Listings and Other Offers. Seller will not list the Property
with any broker or otherwise solicit or make or accept any offers to sell the Property, or
enter into any contracts or agreements (whether binding or not) regarding any disposition of
the Property.
(e) Maintenance of Improvements and Removal of Personal Property.
Seller shall maintain all Improvements in the same condition and repair as Seller is
currently maintaining the Improvements, including the replacement and/or repair of all
mechanical components. Seller will not remove any Personal Property except as may be
required for necessary repair or replacement, and replacement shall be of equal quality and
quantity as existed as of the time of its removal.
4.2 Damage. Risk of loss up to and including the Closing Date shall be borne by
Seller. In the event of any material damage to or destruction of the Property or any portion
thereof, Purchaser may, at its option, by notice to Seller given within 10 days after Seller
notifies Purchaser of such damage or destruction (and if necessary the Closing Date shall be
extended to give Purchaser the full 10-day period to make such election): (i) terminate this
Agreement and the Xxxxxxx Money shall be immediately returned to Purchaser, or (ii) proceed under
this Agreement, receive any insurance proceeds, or an assignment thereof if such proceeds are
unavailable (including any rent loss insurance applicable to any period on and after the Closing
Date), due Seller as a result of such damage or destruction and assume responsibility for such
repair, and Purchaser shall receive a credit at Closing for any deductible or coinsured amount
under said insurance policies and any additional amounts necessary to complete such repairs. If
Purchaser elects (ii) above, Purchaser may extend the Closing Date for up to an additional 10 day
period in which to obtain insurance settlement agreements with Seller’s insurers, and Seller will
cooperate with Purchaser in obtaining the insurance proceeds and such agreements from Seller’s
insurers. If the Property is not materially damaged, then Purchaser shall not have the right to
terminate this Agreement, but Seller shall, at its cost, repair the damage before the Closing in a
manner reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser or, if repairs cannot be completed before the Closing,
assign to Purchaser at Closing any available insurance proceeds for such repair, and credit
Purchaser at Closing an amount equal to the applicable deductible plus any additional cost to
complete the repair. “Material damage” and “Materially damaged” means damage
reasonably exceeding 1 percent of the Purchase Price to repair or
7
which, in the reasonable estimation of a mutually acceptable third party contractor, will take
longer than 90 days to repair.
4.3 Condemnation. In the event any proceedings in eminent domain are contemplated,
threatened or instituted by any body having the power of eminent domain with respect to the
Property or any portion thereof, Purchaser may, at its option, by notice to Seller given within 10
business days after Seller notifies Purchaser of such proceedings (and if necessary the Closing
Date shall be extended to give Purchaser the full 10 business day period to make such election):
(i) terminate this Agreement and the Xxxxxxx Money shall be immediately returned to Purchaser, or
(ii) proceed under this Agreement, in which event Seller shall, at the Closing, assign to Purchaser
its entire right, title and interest in and to any condemnation award, and Purchaser shall have the
sole right during the pendency of this Agreement to negotiate and otherwise deal with the
condemning authority in respect of such matter.
4.4 Estoppel Certificates. Following the expiration of the Due Diligence Period,
Seller shall obtain tenant estoppel certificates in a form attached hereto as Exhibit H
(“Tenant Estoppel Certificate”) from each tenant under Leases applicable to any portion of
the Property.
ARTICLE 5: CLOSING
5.1 Closing. The consummation of the transaction contemplated herein
(“Closing”) shall occur on the Closing Date at the offices of the Escrow Agent. Closing
shall occur through an escrow with the Escrow Agent. Funds shall be deposited into and held by
Escrow Agent in a closing escrow account with a bank satisfactory to Purchaser and Seller. Upon
satisfaction or completion of all closing conditions and deliveries, the parties shall direct the
Escrow Agent to immediately record and deliver the closing documents to the appropriate parties and
make disbursements according to the closing statements executed by Seller and Purchaser. The
Escrow Agent agrees that (1) recordation of the Deed constitutes its representation that it is
holding the closing documents, closing funds and closing statements and is prepared and irrevocably
committed to disburse the closing funds in accordance with the closing statement and (2) release of
funds to the Seller shall irrevocably commit the Title Company to issue the Title Policy in
accordance with this Agreement.
5.2 Conditions to the Parties’ Obligations to Close. In addition to all other
conditions set forth herein, the obligation of Seller, on the one hand, and Purchaser, on the other
hand, to consummate the transactions contemplated hereunder shall be contingent upon the following:
(a) The other party’s representations and warranties contained herein shall
be true and correct as of the date of this Agreement and the Closing Date, subject to those
qualifications contained in those representations and warranties. For purposes of this
clause (a), if a representation is made to knowledge, but the factual matter that is the
subject of the representation is false notwithstanding any lack of knowledge or notice to
the party making the representation, such event shall constitute a failure of this condition
only, and not a default by the party making such representation;
(b) As of the Closing Date, the other party shall have performed its
obligations hereunder and all deliveries to be made at Closing have been tendered;
(c) There shall exist no pending or threatened action, suit or proceeding
with respect to the other party before or by any court or administrative agency which seeks
to restrain or prohibit, or to obtain damages or a discovery order with respect to, this
Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby;
8
(d) The obligation of Purchaser to consummate the transactions contemplated
hereunder shall also be subject to the conditions that:
(i) there shall exist no pending or threatened actions, suits, arbitrations,
claims, attachments, proceedings, assignments for the benefit of creditors,
insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or other proceedings against Seller that
would materially and adversely affect the Property or the operation of the Property;
(ii) Purchaser shall have obtained from the declarant under any declaration of
covenants, conditions and restrictions or similar instrument (“CC&Rs”)
governing or affecting the use, operation, maintenance, management or improvement of
the Property, an estoppel certificate, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory
to Purchaser;
(iii) Purchaser shall be satisfied that none of Seller or any of its affiliates
is listed on any Government Lists and that the sale of the Property to Purchaser
will not result in a violation of the Patriot Act, any OFAC Laws and Regulations or
any other anti-terrorism or anti-money laundering laws and regulations, including,
without limitation, the Bank Secrecy Act, as amended and the Money Laundering
Control Act of 1986, as amended. Seller shall deliver to Purchaser upon Purchaser’s
request from time to time such information requested by Purchaser regarding the
identity of Seller in order for Purchaser to comply with the Patriot Act, the OFAC
Laws and Regulations and such other anti-terrorism and anti-money laundering laws
and regulations; and
(iv) Purchaser shall have received Tenant Estoppel Certificates executed by
tenants representing not less than eighty-five (85%) percent of the rented square
footage of the Property, which executed certificate shall be acceptable to Purchaser
with no adverse disclosure therein. Seller shall furnish Purchaser with an estoppel
certificate covering any Lease(s) for which Tenant Estoppel Certificate has not been
obtained, certifying as to the matters set forth in the form of Tenant Estoppel
Certificate, which certificate may be accepted by Purchaser, in its sole discretion.
Upon subsequent delivery to Purchaser of any missing tenant estoppel certificate in
the form required herein with no adverse disclosure therein, Seller’s estoppel
certificate shall be of no further force and effect as to the Lease covered by such
estoppel certificate.
(v) There shall be no material adverse change in the condition of the
Property, the status of any Lease, or the financial condition of any tenant,
following the Date of this Agreement, which was not known to Purchaser prior to the
expiration of the Due Diligence Period.
(vi) Unless Purchaser shall have delivered a Defeasance Election, Purchaser
shall have received Lender’s written approval, of the transfer of the Property to,
and assumption of the Existing Loan by, Purchaser as provided in Paragraph
2.4, above, and Lender, Seller and Purchaser shall have executed and delivered
all documentation required by Lender to evidence such consent and Purchaser’s
assumption of the Loan (the “Assumption Documents”). The Assumption
Documents shall include Lender’s certification as to the absence of defaults,
confirmation of all amounts due, and such other information as Purchaser shall
reasonably request.
So long as a party is not in default hereunder, if any condition to such party’s obligation to
proceed with the Closing hereunder has not been satisfied as of the Closing Date, such party may,
in its sole discretion, (i) terminate this Agreement by delivering written notice to the other
party on or before
9
the Closing Date, (ii) elect to extend the Closing until such condition is satisfied, and
(iii) elect to consummate the transaction, notwithstanding the non-satisfaction of such condition,
in which event such party shall be deemed to have waived any such condition. In the event such
party elects to close, notwithstanding the nonsatisfaction of such condition, there shall be no
liability on the part of any other party hereto for breaches of representations and warranties of
which the party electing to close had actual knowledge at the Closing. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the failure of a condition due to the breach of a party shall not relieve such breaching
party from any liability it would otherwise have hereunder. In the event such party elects to
terminate this Agreement, the Xxxxxxx Money shall be returned to Purchaser and neither party shall
incur any further liability under this Agreement.
5.3 Seller’s Deliveries in Escrow. At least one business day prior to the Closing
Date, Seller shall deliver in escrow to the Escrow Agent the following:
(a) Deed. A special warranty deed (warranting title from Seller) in
form provided for under the law of the state where the Property is located, or otherwise in
conformity with the custom in such jurisdiction and mutually satisfactory to the parties,
executed and acknowledged by Seller, conveying to Purchaser good, indefeasible and
marketable fee simple title to the Real Property, subject only to the Permitted Exceptions
(the “Deed”);
(b) Xxxx of Sale and Assignment of Leases and Contracts. A Xxxx of
Sale and Assignment of Leases and Contracts in the form of Exhibit D attached hereto
(the “Assignment”), executed and acknowledged by Seller, vesting in Purchaser good
title to the property described therein free of any claims, except for the Permitted
Exceptions to the extent applicable;
(c) Assumption Documents. The Assumption Documents, duly executed
and acknowledged by Seller, or, if applicable, all documents required by Lender to be
executed by Seller for defeasance of the Existing Loan, duly executed by Seller.
(d) State Law Disclosures. Such disclosures and reports as are
required by applicable state and local law in connection with the conveyance of real

the following: (a) to terminate this Agreement, in which event Purchaser shall be entitled to the
return by the Escrow Agent to Purchaser of the Xxxxxxx Money, or (b) to bring a suit for specific
performance provided that any suit for specific performance must be brought within 60 days of
Seller’s default, to the extent permitted by law, Purchaser hereby waives the right to bring suit
at any later date; provided, however, that if specific performance is not a remedy available to
Purchaser due to the willful or intentional act of Seller (such as the prior conveyance of the
Property to third party in violation of this Agreement), then in lieu of specific performance,
Purchaser shall have the right to recover to pursue any and all available remedies, at law or in
equity.
8.2 Purchaser’s Default. In the event that Purchaser fails, without legal excuse, to
complete the purchase of the Property, the Xxxxxxx Money deposit made by Purchaser shall be
forfeited to the Seller as the sole and exclusive remedy available to the Seller for such failure.
The parties acknowledge that Seller’s actual damages in the event of a default by Purchaser under
this Agreement will be difficult to ascertain, and that such liquidated damages represent the
parties’ best estimate of such damages.
8.3 Notice of Default. Except for a party’s failure to close on the Closing Date,
neither party shall have the right to declare a default by the other party and terminate this
Agreement because of a failure by such other party to perform under the terms of this Agreement
unless the other party shall fail to cure such failure to perform within three business days after
its receipt of written notice of such failure to perform.

then the defaulting party shall pay any fees due to the Escrow Agent for holding the Xxxxxxx Money
and any fees due to the Title Company for cancellation of the Title Commitment.
ARTICLE 9: XXXXXXX MONEY PROVISIONS
9.1 Investment and Use of Funds. The Escrow Agent shall invest the Xxxxxxx Money in a
government insured interest-bearing account satisfactory to Purchaser at an institution having
assets of not less than $125,000,000, shall not commingle the Xxxxxxx Money with any funds of the
Escrow Agent or others, and shall promptly provide Purchaser and Seller with confirmation of the
investments made. If the Closing under this Agreement occurs, the Escrow Agent shall deliver the
Xxxxxxx Money to, or upon the instructions of, Purchaser on the Closing Date. Provided such
supplemental escrow instructions are
17
not in conflict with this Agreement as it may be amended in writing from time to time, Seller
and Purchaser agree to execute such supplemental escrow instructions as may be appropriate to
enable Escrow Agent to comply with the terms of this Agreement.
9.2 Termination before Expiration of Due Diligence Period. The Purchaser shall notify
the Escrow Agent of the date that the Due Diligence Period ends promptly after such date is
established under this Agreement, and Escrow Agent may rely upon such notice. If Purchaser elects
to terminate the Purchase Agreement pursuant to Paragraph 2.2, Escrow Agent shall pay the
entire Xxxxxxx Money to Purchaser one business day following receipt of the Due Diligence
Termination Notice from Purchaser (as long as the current investment can be liquidated in one day)
and this Agreement shall thereupon terminate, in which event Purchaser agrees to return to Seller
the Property Information. No notice to Escrow Agent from Seller shall be required for the release
of the Xxxxxxx Money to Purchaser by Escrow Agent. The Xxxxxxx Money shall be released and
delivered to Purchaser from Escrow Agent upon Escrow Agent’s receipt of the Due Diligence
Termination Notice, despite any objection or potential objection by Seller. Seller agrees it shall
have no right to bring any action against Escrow Agent which would have the effect of delaying,
preventing, or in any way interrupting Escrow Agent’s delivery of the Xxxxxxx Money to Purchaser
pursuant to this paragraph, any remedy of Seller being against Purchaser, not Escrow Agent.
9.3 Other Terminations. Upon a termination of this Agreement other than as described
in Paragraph 9.2, either party to this Agreement (the “Terminating Party”) may
give written notice to the Escrow Agent and the other party (the “Non-Terminating Party”)
of such termination and the reason for such termination. Such request shall also constitute a
request for the release of the Xxxxxxx Money to the Terminating Party. The Non-Terminating Party
shall then have five business days in which to object in writing to the release of the Xxxxxxx
Money to the Terminating Party. If the Non-Terminating Party provides such an objection, then the
Escrow Agent shall retain the Xxxxxxx Money until it receives written instructions executed by both
Seller and Purchaser as to the disposition and disbursement of the Xxxxxxx Money, or until ordered
by final court order, decree or judgment, which is not subject to appeal, to deliver the Xxxxxxx
Money to a particular party, in which event the Xxxxxxx Money shall be delivered in accordance with
such notice, instruction, order, decree or judgment.
9.4 Interpleader. Except as provided in Paragraph 9.2 above, Seller and
Purchaser mutually agree that in the event of any controversy regarding the Xxxxxxx Money, unless
mutual written instructions are received by the Escrow Agent directing the Xxxxxxx Money’s
disposition, the Escrow Agent shall not take any action, but instead shall await the disposition of
any proceeding relating to the Xxxxxxx Money or, at the Escrow Agent’s option, the Escrow Agent may
interplead all parties and deposit the Xxxxxxx Money with a court of competent jurisdiction in
which event the Escrow Agent may recover all of its court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees.
Seller or Purchaser, whichever loses in any such interpleader action, shall be solely obligated to
pay such costs and fees of the Escrow Agent, as well as the reasonable attorneys’ fees of the
prevailing party in accordance with the other provisions of this Agreement.
9.5 Liability of Escrow Agent. The parties acknowledge that the Escrow Agent is
acting solely as a stakeholder at their request and for their convenience, that the Escrow Agent
shall not be deemed to be the agent of either of the parties, and that the Escrow Agent shall not
be liable to either of the parties for any action or omission on its part taken or made in good
faith, and not in disregard of this Agreement, but shall be liable for its negligent acts and for
any loss, cost or expense incurred by Seller or Purchaser resulting from the Escrow Agent’s mistake
of law respecting the Escrow Agent’s scope or nature of its duties. Seller and Purchaser shall
jointly and severally indemnify and hold the Escrow Agent harmless from and against all costs,
claims and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred in connection with the
performance of the Escrow Agent’s duties hereunder, except with respect to actions or omissions
taken or made by the Escrow Agent in bad faith, in disregard of this Agreement or involving
negligence on the part of the Escrow Agent.
18
9.6 Escrow Fee. Except as expressly provided herein to the contrary, the escrow fee,
if any, charged by the Escrow Agent for holding the Xxxxxxx Money or conducting the Closing shall
be shared equally by Seller and Purchaser.

Copies of notices are for informational purposes only, and a failure to give or receive copies of
any notice shall not be deemed a failure to give notice. Notices given by counsel to the Purchaser
shall be deemed given by Purchaser and notices given by counsel to the Seller shall be deemed given
by Seller.
10.11 Construction. The parties acknowledge that the parties and their counsel have
reviewed and revised this Agreement and agree that the normal rule of construction — to the effect
that any ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall not be employed in the
interpretation of this Agreement or any exhibits or amendments hereto.
10.12 Calculation of Time Periods. Unless otherwise specified, in computing any
period of time described herein, the day of the act or event after which the designated period of
time begins to run is not to be included and the last day of the period so computed is to be
included at, unless such last day is a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday for national banks in the
location where the Property is located, in which event the period shall run until the end of the
next day which is neither a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday. The last day of any period of time
described herein shall be deemed to end at 6:00 p.m. local time where the Property is located.
10.13 Audit Cooperation. At Purchaser’s request, at any time before and for a period
of 3 years after Closing, Seller shall make best efforts to provide or cause its property manager
to provide to Purchaser’s designated independent auditor access to the books and records of the
Property, and all related information regarding the period for which Purchaser is required to have
the Property audited under the regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and Seller
shall make best efforts to provide or cause its property manager to provide to such auditor a
representation letter regarding the books and records of the Property in connection with the normal
course of auditing the Property in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Paragraph 10.13, if Seller’s
property manager proves uncooperative in providing access to the auditors, Seller will use best
efforts to facilitate the auditor’s access to the property manager’s records to review necessary
documents. The Purchaser agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Seller from any claim, damage,
loss, or liability to which Seller is at any time subjected by any person who is not a party to
this Agreement as a result of Seller’s compliance with this paragraph.
10.14 Procedure for Indemnity. The following provisions govern actions for indemnity
under this Agreement. Promptly after receipt by an indemnitee of notice of any claim, such
indemnitee will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnitor, deliver to the
indemnitor written notice thereof and the indemnitor shall have the right to participate in and, if
the indemnitor agrees in writing that it will be responsible for any costs, expenses, judgments,
damages, and losses incurred by the indemnitee with respect to such claim, to assume the defense
thereof, with counsel mutually satisfactory to the parties; provided, however, that an indemnitee
shall have the right to retain its own counsel, with the fees and expenses to be paid by the
indemnitor, if the indemnitee reasonably believes that representation of such indemnitee by the
counsel retained by the indemnitor would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing
interests between such indemnitee and any other party represented by such counsel in such
proceeding. The failure of indemnitee to deliver written notice to the indemnitor within a
reasonable time after indemnitee receives notice of any such claim shall relieve such indemnitor of
any
20
liability to the indemnitee under this indemnity only if and to the extent that such failure
is prejudicial to its ability to defend such action, and the omission so to deliver written notice
to the indemnitor will not relieve it of any liability that it may have to any indemnitee other
than under this indemnity. If an indemnitee settles a claim without the prior written consent of
the indemnitor, then the indemnitor shall be released from liability with respect to such claim
unless the indemnitor has unreasonably withheld such consent.
10.15 Execution in Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, and all of such counterparts shall
constitute one Agreement. To facilitate execution of this Agreement, the parties may execute and
exchange by telephone facsimile counterparts of the signature pages.
10.16 Section 1031 Exchange. Either party may consummate the purchase or sale (as
applicable) of the Property as part of a so-called like kind exchange (an “Exchange”)
pursuant to § 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), provided
that: (a) the Closing shall not be delayed or affected by reason of the Exchange nor shall the
consummation or accomplishment of an Exchange be a condition precedent or condition subsequent to
the exchanging party’s obligations under this Agreement; (b) the exchanging party shall effect its
Exchange through an assignment of this Agreement, or its rights under this Agreement, to a
qualified intermediary (c) neither party shall be required to take an assignment of the purchase
agreement for the relinquished or replacement property or be required to acquire or hold title to
any real property for purposes of consummating an Exchange desired by the other party; and (d) the
exchanging party shall pay any additional costs that would not otherwise have been incurred by the
non-exchanging party had the exchanging party not consummated the transaction through an Exchange.
Neither party shall by this Agreement or acquiescence to an Exchange desired by the other party
have its rights under this Agreement affected or diminished in any manner or be responsible for
compliance with or be deemed to have warranted to the exchanging party that its Exchange in fact
complies with § 1031 of the Code.
10.17 Attorneys’ Fees. Should either party employ attorneys to enforce any of the
provisions hereof, the party against whom any final judgment is entered agrees to pay the
prevailing party all reasonable costs, charges, and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, expended
or incurred in connection therewith.
10.18 Further Assurances. In addition to the acts and deeds recited herein and
contemplated to be performed, executed and/or delivered by either party at Closing, each party
agrees to perform, execute and deliver, but without any obligation to incur any additional
liability or expense, on or after the Closing any further deliveries and assurances as may be
reasonably necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby or to further perfect the
conveyance, transfer and assignment of the Property to Purchaser.
