4.2.1

Buyer’s Objections to Title; Seller’s Obligations and Rights.

(a)

Prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, Buyer shall have the right to object in writing to any title matters that appear on the Title Commitment, the Survey, and any supplemental title reports or updates to the Title Commitment (whether or not such matters constitute Permitted Exceptions). In addition, after the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, Buyer shall have the right to object in writing to any title matters which are not Permitted Exceptions that may first appear on any supplemental title reports or updates to the Title Commitment or Survey issued after the expiration of the Due Diligence Period so long as such objection is made by Buyer within five (5) business days after Buyer becomes aware of the same (but, in any event, prior to the Closing Date). Unless Buyer is entitled to and timely objects to such title matters, all such title matters shall be deemed to constitute additional Permitted Exceptions.

(b)

To the extent that any Title Objections do not constitute Required Exceptions, Seller may elect (but shall not be obligated) to Remove or cause to be Removed any such Title Objections and Seller shall notify Buyer in writing within five (5) business days after receipt of Buyer’s notice of Title Objections (but, in any event, prior to the Closing Date) whether Seller elects to Remove the same. Failure of Seller to respond in writing within such period shall be deemed an election by Seller not to Remove such Title Objections. Any Title Objection that Seller elects in writing to Remove shall be deemed a Required Exception. If Seller elects not to Remove one or more Title Objections, then, within five (5) business days after Seller’s election (but, in any event, prior to the Closing Date), Buyer may elect in writing to either (i) terminate this Agreement, in which event the Deposit shall be paid to Buyer and, thereafter, the parties shall have no further rights or obligations hereunder except for obligations which expressly survive the termination of this Agreement, or (ii) waive such Title Objections and proceed to Closing. Failure of Buyer to respond in writing within such period shall be deemed an election by Buyer to waive such Title Objections and proceed to Closing. Any such Title Objection so waived (or deemed waived) by Buyer shall be deemed to constitute a Permitted Exception and the Closing shall occur as herein provided without any reduction of or credit against the Purchase Price.

(c)

If this Agreement is not terminated by Buyer in accordance with the provisions hereof, Seller shall, at Closing, Remove or cause to be Removed any Required Exceptions. Seller may use any portion of the

Purchase Price to satisfy any Required Exceptions that exist as of the Closing Date, provided Seller shall cause the Title Company to Remove the same. If Seller is unable to Remove any Required Exceptions prior to the Closing, Buyer may at Closing elect to either (a) terminate this Agreement, in which event the Deposit shall be paid to Buyer and, thereafter, the parties shall have no further rights or obligations hereunder except for obligations which expressly survive the termination of this Agreement, or (b) accept such exceptions to title and the Closing shall occur as herein provided without any reduction of or credit against the Purchase Price. Seller shall have the right to replace the Title Company with another nationally recognized title insurance company if the Title Company fails or refuses to Remove any exceptions to title that Seller elects or is required to Remove.

(d)

Seller shall be entitled to a reasonable adjournment of the Closing (not to exceed fifteen (15) days) for the purpose of the Removal of any exceptions to title.

4.2.2

No New Exceptions. From and after the date hereof, Seller shall not execute any deed, easement, restriction, covenant or other matter affecting title to the Property unless Buyer has received a copy thereof and has approved the same in writing. If Buyer fails to object in writing to any such proposed instrument within three (3) business days after receipt of the aforementioned notice, Buyer shall be deemed to have approved the proposed instrument. Buyer’s consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed with respect to any such instrument that is proposed prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period. Buyer, in its sole and absolute discretion, shall be entitled to grant or withhold its consent with respect to any such instrument that is proposed between the expiration of the Due Diligence Period and the Closing.

4.3

Title Insurance. At Closing, the Title Company shall issue the Owner’s Title Policy to Buyer, insuring that fee simple title to the Real Property is vested in Buyer subject only to the Permitted Exceptions. Buyer shall be entitled to request that the Title Company provide such endorsements (or amendments) (in addition to the Required Title Endorsements) to the Owner’s Title Policy as Buyer may reasonably require, provided that (a) such endorsements (or amendments) shall be at no cost to, and shall impose no additional liability on, Seller, (b) Buyer’s obligations under this Agreement shall not be conditioned upon Buyer’s ability to obtain such endorsements and, if Buyer is unable to obtain such endorsements, Buyer shall nevertheless be obligated to proceed to close the Transaction without reduction of or set off against the Purchase Price, and (c) the Closing shall not be delayed as a result of Buyer’s request.

5.4	Buyer’s Certificate. Buyer shall deliver to Seller at the Closing, a certificate in the form of Exhibit C attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference.

ARTICLE 6 - ADJUSTMENTS AND PRORATIONS

The following adjustments and prorations shall be made at Closing:

6.1	Lease Rentals and Other Revenues.

6.1.1

Rents. All collected Rents shall be prorated between Seller and Buyer as of the day prior to the Closing Date. Seller shall be entitled to all Rents attributable to any period to but not including the Closing Date. Buyer shall be entitled to all Rents attributable to any period on and after the Closing Date. For purposes of determining each of Buyer’s and Seller’s pro rata share of percentage rents, the amount “attributable” to the period prior to the Closing Date shall be equal to (a) the aggregate amount of such percentage rents actually collected for the calendar year in which the Closing occurs multiplied by (b) a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of days prior to the Closing Date that the applicable tenant leases space at the Property during the calendar year in which the Closing occurs and the denominator of which shall be 365. Rents (including percentage rents) not collected as of the Closing Date shall not be prorated at the time of Closing.

6.1.2

Other Revenues. Revenues from Property operations (other than Rents (which shall be prorated as provided in Subsection 6.1.1), security deposits (which will be apportioned as provided in Section 6.6), and pre-paid installments or other payments under Contracts (which shall be the sole property of Seller)) that are actually collected shall be prorated between Buyer and Seller as of 12:01 a.m. on the Closing Date. Seller shall be entitled to all such revenues attributable to any period to but not including the Closing Date and Buyer shall be entitled to all such revenues attributable to any period on and after the Closing Date.

6.1.3

Post-Closing Collections. After Closing, Buyer shall make a good faith effort to collect any Rents or other revenues not collected as of the Closing Date on Seller’s behalf and to tender the same to Seller upon receipt by sending delinquency notices (which shall be deemed to constitute Buyer’s good faith efforts) to tenants for delinquent rents owned by such tenants to the extent Seller has provided Buyer with the amounts owing by such tenants prior to the Closing, provided that Buyer shall not be required to declare a default against any tenants under the Leases for such delinquent rental obligations. All Rents collected by Buyer on or after the Closing Date shall first be applied to all amounts due under the applicable Lease at the time of collection (i.e., current Rents and sums due Buyer as the current owner and landlord) with the balance (if any) payable to Seller, but only to the extent of amounts delinquent and actually due Seller. Buyer shall not have an exclusive right to collect the sums due Seller under the Leases or other revenue due Seller and Seller hereby retains its rights to pursue claims against any tenant under the Leases or other party for sums due with respect to periods prior to the Closing Date (including, without limitation, any percentage rent that may be due with respect to any period of time prior to Closing, regardless of when the same is to be paid to the owner of the Property pursuant to the terms of the applicable Lease); provided, however, that with respect to any legal proceedings against any tenant under a Lease, Seller (a) shall be required to notify Buyer in writing of its intention to commence or pursue such legal proceedings; (b) shall only be permitted to commence or pursue any legal proceedings after the date which is four (4) months after Closing; and (c) shall not be permitted to commence or pursue any legal proceedings against any tenant seeking eviction of such tenant or the termination of the underlying Lease. The terms of this Section 6.1.3 shall survive the Closing and not be merged therein.

6.2	Leasing and Capital Costs.

6.2.1

Reimbursable Lease Expenses. At Closing, Buyer shall reimburse Seller for the Reimbursable Lease Expenses to the extent required by the terms of Article 14.

6.2.2

Leasing Costs. Buyer shall be credited at Closing for the amount of all unsatisfied costs and expenses which were incurred, or are to be incurred (but expressly excluding any such costs and expenses payable in the future as a result of future Lease extensions), in connection with any and all Leases executed, modified or extended by Seller prior to the Effective Date, including, without limitation, all costs and expenses for tenant improvements (either completed or to be completed) and brokerage commissions (collectively, “Pre-Contract Leasing Costs”). Seller shall remain responsible for satisfying any Pre-Contract Leasing Costs which were not credited to Buyer at Closing.

6.2.3

Capital Costs. Buyer shall be credited at Closing for any unsatisfied amounts under all capital contracts, contracts pertaining to works of improvement or other contracts existing prior to Closing, pertaining to the Property (regardless of when the work, services or other obligations were performed or are to be performed), (“Pre-Closing Capital Costs”). Seller shall remain responsible for satisfying any Pre-Closing Capital Costs which were not credited to Buyer at Closing.

6.3	Real Estate and Personal Property Taxes.

6.3.1

Proration of Ad Valorem Taxes. Buyer and Seller shall only prorate ad valorem real estate and personal property taxes for the Property that are actually due and payable during Closing Tax Year, regardless of the year for which such taxes are assessed. As a result, if real estate or personal property taxes for the Property are paid in arrears (i.e., taxes paid during any Tax Year are assessed for or otherwise attributable to the previous Tax Year), there shall be no proration of real estate taxes assessed for or attributable to the Property for the Closing Tax Year (which would be due and payable during the following Tax Year). There shall be no proration of ad valorem real estate or personal property taxes other than as set forth hereinabove and, as between Buyer and Seller, Buyer agrees that it shall be solely responsible for all such ad valorem real estate and personal property taxes due and payable after the Closing to the extent applicable to the period after Close of Escrow or to the extent Buyer receives a credit for any such amount at Closing. The proration of the ad valorem real estate and personal property taxes actually due and payable during the Closing Tax Year shall be calculated as follows:

(a)

Seller shall be responsible for that portion of such taxes equal to (i) the total such taxes due and payable during the Closing Tax Year, multiplied by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of days in the Closing Tax Year prior to the Closing Date, and the denominator of which shall be 365; and

(b)

Buyer shall be responsible for that portion of such taxes equal to (i) the total such taxes due and payable during the Closing Tax Year, multiplied by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of days in the Closing Tax Year subsequent to and including the Closing Date, and the denominator of which shall be 365.

6.3.2

Insufficient Information. If, at Closing, the real estate and/or personal property tax rate and assessments have not been set for the taxes due and payable during the Closing Tax Year, then the proration of such taxes shall be based upon the rate and assessments for the preceding Tax Year, and such proration shall be adjusted between Seller and Buyer after Closing upon presentation of written evidence that the actual taxes due and payable during the Closing Tax Year differ from the amounts used at Closing and in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.8.

6.3.3

Special Assessments. Seller shall pay all installments of special assessments due and payable prior to the Closing Date and Buyer shall pay all installments of special assessments due and payable on and after the Closing Date; provided, however, that (a) if the owner of the Property has the election to pay any special assessment either immediately or under a payment plan with interest, Seller may elect to pay under a payment plan, which election shall be binding on Buyer; and (b) Seller shall not be required by the foregoing to pay any installments of special assessments which have not been confirmed or which relate to projects that have not been completed on the date hereof.

6.3.4

Tenant Reimbursements. Notwithstanding the foregoing terms of this Article 6, Seller shall have no obligation to pay (and Buyer shall not receive a credit at Closing for) any real estate or personal property taxes or special assessments to the extent that Buyer is entitled after Closing to reimbursement of such taxes and assessments, or the recovery of any increase in such taxes and assessments, from the tenants under the Leases, regardless of whether Buyer actually collects such reimbursement or increased taxes and assessments from such tenants, it being understood and agreed by Buyer and Seller that (a) as between Buyer and Seller, Buyer shall be responsible for payment of all of such real estate or personal property taxes and assessments, and (b) the burden of collecting such reimbursements shall be solely on Buyer. Furthermore, Seller and Buyer acknowledge and agree that, notwithstanding any provision in any of the Leases to the contrary, the tax reimbursement payments to be paid by tenants of the Property during the Closing Tax Year are to be applied to pay the real estate taxes due and payable during the Closing Tax Year and, therefore, Buyer shall not receive a credit for any amounts due and payable by tenants of the Property prior to the Closing as real estate tax reimbursements.

6.3.5

Reassessment. In the event the Property has been assessed for property tax purposes at such rates as would result in reassessment (i.e., “escape assessment” or “roll-back taxes”) based upon the change in land usage or ownership of the Property on or after the Closing Date, Buyer hereby agrees to pay all such taxes and to indemnify and save Seller harmless from and against all Liabilities for such taxes. Such indemnity shall survive the Closing and not be merged therein.

6.4

Other Property Operating Expenses. Operating expenses for the Property shall be prorated as of 12:01 a.m. on the Closing Date. Seller shall pay all utility charges and other operating expenses attributable to the Property to, but not including the Closing Date (except for those utility charges and operating expenses payable by tenants in accordance with the Leases) and Buyer shall pay all utility charges and other operating expenses attributable to the Property on or after the Closing Date. To the extent that the amount of actual consumption of any utility services is not determined prior to the Closing Date, a proration shall be made at Closing based on the last available reading and post-closing adjustments between Buyer and Seller shall be made within twenty (20) days of the date that actual consumption for such pre-closing period is determined, which obligation shall survive the Closing and not be merged therein. Seller shall not assign to

Buyer any deposits which Seller has with any of the utility services or companies servicing the Property. Buyer shall arrange with such services and companies to have accounts opened in Buyer’s name beginning at 12:01 a.m. on the Closing Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing terms of this section, Seller shall have no obligation to pay (and Buyer shall not receive a credit at Closing for) any operating expenses to the extent that Buyer is entitled after Closing to reimbursement of such operating expenses, or the recovery of any increase in such operating expenses, from the tenants under the Leases, regardless of whether Buyer actually collects such reimbursement or increased operating expenses from such tenants, it being understood and agreed by Buyer and Seller that (a) as between Buyer and Seller, Buyer shall be responsible for payment of all of such operating expenses, and (b) the burden of collecting such reimbursements shall be solely on Buyer.

6.5

Closing Costs. Buyer shall pay the following costs and expenses associated with the Transaction: (a) all premiums and charges of the endorsements and extended coverage for the Owner’s Title Policy, (b) the cost of the Buyer’s lender’s title insurance policy and endorsements, (c) all recording and filing charges in connection with the instrument by which Seller conveys the Property, (d) ¹/2 of all escrow or closing charges, (e) the commission due Buyer’s Broker, if any, (f) all costs of Buyer’s Due Diligence, including fees due its consultants and attorneys, and (g) all lenders’ fees related to any financing to be obtained by Buyer. Seller shall pay the following costs and expenses associated with the Transaction: (i) all premiums for the Title Commitment, Owner’s Title Policy (but no endorsements), (ii) the cost of the Survey, (iii) the commission due Seller’s Broker, (iv) all fees due its attorneys, (v) ¹/2 of all escrow or closing charges, (vi) all transfer taxes, and (vii) all costs incurred in connection with causing the Title Company to Remove any Required Exceptions. The obligations of the parties under this Section 6.5 shall survive the Closing (and not be merged therein) or any earlier termination of this Agreement.

6.6

Cash Security Deposits. Buyer shall be credited at Closing for the amount of all cash security deposits provided for under the Leases as reflected on the List of Leases attached hereto as Exhibit L and made a part hereof. Unless and until this Agreement is terminated, Seller shall not apply any security deposits to any obligations under the Leases without notifying Buyer of such application, in which event Exhibit L shall be deemed to be modified to reflect such application.

6.7

Apportionment Credit. In the event the apportionments to be made at the Closing result in a credit balance (a) to Buyer, such sum shall be paid at the Closing by giving Buyer a credit against the Purchase Price in the amount of such credit balance, or (b) to Seller, Buyer shall pay the amount thereof to Seller at the Closing by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account or accounts to be designated by Seller for the payment of the Purchase Price.

6.8

Delayed Adjustment; Delivery of Operating and Other Financial Statements. If at any time following the Closing Date, the amount of an item listed in any section of this Article 6 shall prove to be incorrect (whether as a result of an error in calculation or a lack of complete and accurate information as of the Closing) or otherwise require

adjustment as a result of any year-end or periodic reconciliations of reimbursable operating expenses or tax payments by a tenant under a Lease, the party owing money as a result of such error or adjustment shall promptly pay to the other party the sum necessary to correct such error or make such adjustment upon receipt of proof of the same, provided that such proof is received by the party from whom payment is to be made on or before the later of one (1) year after Closing or two (2) calendar months after the applicable reconciliation period (such period being referred to herein as the “Post Closing Adjustment Period”). In order to enable Seller to determine whether any such delayed adjustment is necessary, Buyer shall provide to Seller current operating and financial statements for the Property and copies of any correspondence and statements sent to tenants in connection with any reconciliation promptly after the same are prepared, but, in any event, no later than the date one (1) month prior to the expiration of the Post-Closing Adjustment Period. The provisions of this Section 6.8 shall survive the Closing and not be merged therein.

6.9

Additional Rent Reconciliation. To the extent that any additional rent (including, without limitation, estimated payments for operating expenses and/or real estate taxes) (collectively, “Expenses”) is paid by tenants to landlord under the Leases based on an estimated payment basis (monthly, quarterly or otherwise) for which a future reconciliation of actual Expenses to estimated payments is required to be performed at the end of a reconciliation period, Buyer and Seller shall make an adjustment at the Closing for the applicable reconciliation period (or periods, if the Leases do not have a common reconciliation period) based on a comparison of the actual Expenses to the estimated payments at the Closing. If, as of the Closing, Seller has received additional rent payments in excess of the amount that tenants will be required to pay, based on the actual Expenses as of the Closing, Buyer shall deliver to Seller the amount of such deficiency within thirty (30) days of the reconciliation pursuant to which the tenants’ payments of such deficient amounts are received by Buyer. The provisions of this Section 6.9 shall survive the Closing and not be merged therein.

If the Closing fails to occur by reason of Buyer’s failure or refusal to perform its obligations hereunder in a prompt and timely manner, and such circumstance continues for five (5) business days after written notice from Seller to Buyer, which written notice shall detail such default, untruth or failure, as applicable, then Seller may elect to (a) terminate this Agreement by written notice to Buyer, promptly after which the Deposit shall be paid to Seller as liquidated damages and, thereafter, the parties shall have no further rights or obligations hereunder except for obligations which expressly survive the termination of this Agreement, or (b) waive the condition and proceed to close the Transaction.

11.2

To Buyer’s Obligations. If, at the Closing, (i) Seller is in default of any of its obligations hereunder, or (ii) any of Seller’s Warranties are, in the aggregate, untrue, inaccurate or incorrect in any material respect, or (iii) the Closing otherwise fails to occur by reason of Seller’s failure or refusal to perform its obligations hereunder in a prompt and timely manner, and any such circumstance described in any of clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) continues for five (5) business days after written notice from Buyer to Seller, which written notice shall detail such default, untruth or failure, as applicable, then Buyer shall have the right, to elect, as its sole and exclusive remedy, to (a) terminate this Agreement by written notice to Seller, promptly after which the Deposit shall be returned to Buyer, Buyer shall be entitled to reimbursement of its out-of-pocket expenses not to exceed $50,000, and, thereafter, the parties shall have no further rights or obligations hereunder except for obligations which expressly survive the termination of this Agreement, or (b) waive the condition and proceed to close the Transaction, or (c) seek specific performance of this Agreement by Seller. As a condition precedent to Buyer exercising any right it may have to bring an action for specific performance hereunder, Buyer must commence such an action within ninety (90) days after the occurrence of Seller’s default. Buyer agrees that its failure to timely commence such an action for specific performance within such ninety

(90) day period shall be deemed a waiver by it of its right to commence an action for specific performance as well as a waiver by it of any right it may have to file or record a notice of lis pendens or notice of pendency of action or similar notice against any portion of the Property.

ARTICLE 12 - CONDEMNATION/CASUALTY

12.1

Right to Terminate. If, after the date hereof, (a) any portion of the Property is taken by condemnation or eminent domain (or is the subject of a pending taking which has not yet been consummated), or (b) any portion of the Property is damaged or destroyed (excluding routine wear and tear), Seller shall notify Buyer in writing of such fact promptly after obtaining knowledge thereof. If the Property is the subject of a Major Casualty/Condemnation that occurs after the date hereof, Buyer shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by giving written notice to Seller no later than ten (10) business days after the giving of Seller’s notice, and the Closing Date shall be extended, if necessary, to provide sufficient time for Buyer to make such election. The failure by Buyer to so elect in writing to terminate this Agreement within such ten (10) business day period shall be deemed an election not to terminate this Agreement. If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to this Section 12.1, the Deposit shall be returned to Buyer and, thereafter, this Agreement shall terminate and neither party to this Agreement shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder other than any arising under any section herein which expressly provides that it shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

12.2

Allocation of Proceeds and Awards. If a condemnation or casualty occurs after the date hereof and this Agreement is not terminated as permitted pursuant to the terms of Section 12.1, then this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect, Buyer shall acquire the remainder of the Property upon the terms and conditions set forth herein and at the Closing:

(a)

if the awards or proceeds, as the case may be, have been paid to Seller prior to Closing, Buyer shall receive a credit at Closing equal to (i) the amount of any such award or proceeds on account of such condemnation or casualty, plus (ii) if a casualty has occurred and such casualty is an insured casualty, an amount equal to Seller’s deductible with respect to such casualty, less (iii) an amount equal to the Seller-Allocated Amounts; and

(b)

to the extent that such award or proceeds have not been paid to Seller prior to the Closing or the damage has not been repaired by the Closing, (i) if a casualty has occurred and such casualty is an insured casualty, Buyer shall receive a credit at Closing equal to Seller’s deductible with respect to such casualty, less an amount equal to the Seller-Allocated Amounts, and (ii) Seller shall assign to Buyer at the Closing (without recourse to Seller) the rights of Seller to, and Buyer shall be entitled to receive and retain, such awards or proceeds; provided, however, that within one (1) business day after receipt of such awards or proceeds, Buyer shall pay to Seller an amount equal to the Seller-Allocated Amounts not previously paid to Seller.

12.3	Insurance. Seller shall maintain the property insurance coverage currently in effect for the Property, or comparable coverage, through the Closing Date.

12.4	Waiver. The provisions of this Article 12 supersede the provisions of any applicable Laws with respect to the subject matter of this Article 12.

ARTICLE 13 - ESCROW PROVISIONS

The Deposit and any other sums (including, without limitation, any interest earned thereon) which the parties agree shall be held in escrow (herein collectively called the “Escrow Deposits”), shall be held by the Escrow Agent, in trust, and disposed of only in accordance with the following provisions:

(a)

The Escrow Agent shall invest the Escrow Deposits in government insured interest-bearing instruments reasonably satisfactory to both Buyer and Seller, shall not commingle the Escrow Deposits with any funds of the Escrow Agent or others, and shall promptly provide Buyer and Seller with confirmation of the investments made.

(b)

If the Closing occurs, the Escrow Agent shall deliver the Escrow Deposits to, or upon the instructions of, Seller on the Closing Date.

(c)

If for any reason the Closing does not occur, the Escrow Agent shall deliver the Escrow Deposits to Seller or Buyer only upon receipt of a written demand therefor from such party, subject to the following provisions of this Subsection (c). If for any reason the Closing does not occur and either party makes a written demand upon the Escrow Agent for payment of the Escrow Deposits, the Escrow Agent shall give written notice to the other party of such demand. If the Escrow Agent does not receive a written objection from the other party to the proposed payment within ten (10) days after the giving of such notice, the Escrow Agent is hereby authorized to make such payment. If the Escrow Agent does receive such written objection within such period, the Escrow Agent shall continue to hold such amount until otherwise directed by written instructions signed by Seller and Buyer or a final judgment of a court. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Escrow Agent shall deliver the Refundable Portion of the Escrow Deposit to Buyer upon written request by Buyer (without any consent or approval by Seller) at any time prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period (as the same may be extended hereunder).

(d)

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 Liabilities (including reasonable attorneys’ fees, expenses and disbursements) incurred by Seller or Buyer resulting from the Escrow Agent’s mistake of law respecting the Escrow Agent’s scope or nature of its duties. Seller and Buyer shall jointly and severally indemnify and hold the Escrow Agent harmless from and against all Liabilities (including reasonable attorneys’ fees, expenses and disbursements) 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.

(e)

Buyer shall pay any income taxes on any interest earned on the Escrow Deposits. Buyer represents and warrants to the Escrow Agent that its taxpayer identification number is 00-0000000.

(f)

The Escrow Agent has executed this Agreement in the place indicated on the signature page hereof in order to confirm that the Escrow Agent has received and shall hold the Escrow Deposits in escrow, and shall disburse the Escrow Deposits pursuant to the provisions of this Article 13.

The provisions of this Article 13 shall survive the Closing (and not be merged therein) or earlier termination of this Agreement.

ARTICLE 14 - LEASING MATTERS

14.1

New Leases; Lease Modifications. After the Commencement Date, except as may be permitted by the terms of this Section 14.1, Seller shall not, without Buyer’s prior written consent, (a) enter into a New Lease; (b) modify or amend any Lease (except pursuant to the exercise by a tenant of a renewal, extension or expansion option or other right contained in such tenant’s Lease); or (c) consent to any assignment or sublease in connection with any Lease. Seller shall furnish Buyer with a written notice of the proposed transaction which shall contain information (including a copy of the New Lease and/or any Lease amendment) that Seller believes is reasonably necessary to enable Buyer to make informed decisions with respect to the advisability of the proposed transaction. If Buyer fails to object in writing to any such proposed transaction within three (3) business days after receipt of the aforementioned information, Buyer shall be deemed to have approved the proposed transaction if approval of the proposed transaction is requested before the expiration of the Due Diligence Period and Buyer shall be deemed to have disapproved the proposed transaction if approval of the proposed transaction is requested after the expiration of the Due Diligence Period. Buyer’s consent shall not be

unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed with respect to any such transaction that is proposed prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period. Buyer, in its sole and absolute discretion, shall be entitled to grant or withhold its consent with respect to any such transaction that is proposed between the expiration of the Due Diligence Period and the Closing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Lease requires that the landlord’s consent be given under the applicable circumstances (or not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), then Buyer shall be deemed ipso facto to have approved such action. Any notice from Buyer rejecting the proposed transaction shall include a description of the reasons for Buyer’s rejection. If Buyer rejects any transaction proposed during the Due Diligence Period, Seller nevertheless retains full right, power and authority to execute such documents as are necessary to effect such transaction, and Seller shall promptly advise Buyer of the same. The foregoing notwithstanding, in the event Buyer has rejected any transaction that was proposed during the Due Diligence Period and, thereafter, Seller notifies Buyer that Seller intends to effect such proposed transaction, Buyer shall have the right, within three (3) business days after receipt of Seller’s notice that Seller has taken such action, to elect to terminate this Agreement by the delivery to Seller of a written notice of termination, in which case the Deposit shall be paid to Buyer and, thereafter, the parties shall have no further rights or obligations hereunder other than any arising under any section herein which expressly provides that it shall survive the termination of this Agreement. If Buyer fails to notify Seller within such time period, Buyer shall be deemed to have fully waived any rights to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 14.1. Seller shall deliver to Buyer a true and complete copy of each such New Lease, renewal or extension agreement, modification, or amendment, as the case may be, promptly after the execution and delivery thereof.

14.2

Lease Enforcement. Seller shall have the right, but not the obligation (except to the extent that Seller’s failure to act shall constitute a waiver of such rights or remedies), to enforce the rights and remedies of the landlord under any Lease, by summary proceedings or otherwise (including, without limitation, the right to remove any tenant), and to apply all or any portion of any security deposits then held by Seller toward any loss or damage incurred by Seller by reason of any defaults by tenants, and the exercise of any such rights or remedies shall not affect the obligations of Buyer under this Agreement in any manner or entitle Buyer to a reduction in, or credit or allowance against, the Purchase Price or give rise to any other claim on the part of Buyer.

14.3

Lease Expenses. At Closing, Buyer shall reimburse Seller for Buyer’s pro rata share of any and all Reimbursable Lease Expenses to the extent that the same have been paid or incurred by Seller prior to Closing. In addition, at Closing, Seller shall pay to Buyer for Seller’s pro rata share of any and all Reimbursable Lease Expenses to the extent that the same are unpaid as of Closing and, as a result, (a) Buyer shall assume Seller’s obligations to pay, when due (whether on a stated due date or accelerated) any Reimbursable Lease Expenses unpaid as of the Closing, and (b) Buyer hereby agrees to indemnify and hold Seller harmless from and against any and all Liabilities (including reasonable attorneys’ fees, expenses and disbursements) with respect to such Reimbursable Lease Expenses which remain unpaid for any reason at the time of Closing, which obligations of Buyer shall survive the Closing and shall not be merged therein. For purposes of determining

Buyer’s and Seller’s pro rata share of Reimbursable Lease Expenses, such costs and expenses shall be apportioned between Buyer and Seller based upon the proportion of the affected term of the applicable Lease, renewal, extension, or expansion, as the case may be, that falls within each of Buyer’s and Seller’s period of ownership of the Property. Each party shall make available to the other all records, bills, vouchers and other data in such party’s control verifying Reimbursable Lease Expenses and the payment thereof.

ARTICLE 15 - MISCELLANEOUS

15.1

Buyer’s Assignment. Buyer shall have the right to assign this Agreement to an entity for which Buyer or an affiliate of Buyer acts as the investment advisor without Seller’s consent but shall, in any event, notify Seller in writing of any such assignment. Except as expressly provided to the contrary by the immediately preceding sentence, Buyer shall not assign this Agreement or its rights hereunder to any individual or entity without the prior written consent of Seller, which consent Seller may grant or withhold in its sole and absolute discretion, and any such assignment shall be null and void ab initio. In the event of any permitted assignment by Buyer, any assignee shall assume any and all obligations and liabilities of Buyer under this Agreement but, notwithstanding such assumption, Buyer shall continue to be liable hereunder until the Closing.

15.2	[Intentionally Omitted].

15.3

Survival/Merger. Except for the provisions of this Agreement which are explicitly stated to survive the Closing, (a) none of the terms of this Agreement shall survive the Closing, and (b) the delivery of the Purchase Price, the Deed and the other Closing Documents and the acceptance thereof shall effect a merger, and be deemed the full performance and discharge of every obligation on the part of Buyer and Seller to be performed hereunder.

15.4

Integration; Waiver. This Agreement, together with the Exhibits hereto, embodies and constitutes the entire understanding between the parties with respect to the Transaction and all prior agreements, understandings, representations and statements, oral or written, are merged into this Agreement. Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, modified, amended, discharged or terminated except by an instrument signed by the party against whom the enforcement of such waiver, modification, amendment, discharge or termination is sought, and then only to the extent set forth in such instrument. No waiver by either party hereto of any failure or refusal by the other party to comply with its obligations hereunder shall be deemed a waiver of any other or subsequent failure or refusal to so comply.

15.5	Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the law of the State in which the Property is located.

15.6

Captions Not Binding; Exhibits. The captions in this Agreement are inserted for reference only and in no way define, describe or limit the scope or intent of this Agreement or of any of the provisions hereof. All Exhibits attached hereto shall be incorporated by reference as if set out herein in full.

15.7	Binding Effect. This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

15.8

Severability. If any term or provision of this Agreement or the application thereof to any persons or circumstances shall, to any extent, be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement or the application of such term or provision to persons or circumstances other than those as to which it is held invalid or unenforceable shall not be affected thereby, and each term and provision of this Agreement shall be valid and enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law.

15.9

Notices. Any notice, request, demand, consent, approval and other communications under this Agreement shall be in writing, and shall be deemed duly given or made at the time and on the date when received by facsimile or by e-mail (provided that the sender of such communication shall orally confirm receipt thereof by the appropriate parties) or when personally delivered as shown on a receipt therefor (which shall include delivery by a nationally recognized overnight delivery service) or three (3) business days after being mailed by prepaid registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, to the address for each party set forth below. Any party, by written notice to the other in the manner herein provided, may designate an address different from that set forth below.

Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be an original and all of which counterparts taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

15.11

No Recordation. Seller and Buyer each agrees that neither this Agreement nor any memorandum or notice hereof shall be recorded and Buyer agrees (a) not to file any

notice of pendency or other instrument (other than a judgment) against the Property or any portion thereof in connection herewith and (b) to indemnify Seller against all Liabilities (including reasonable attorneys’ fees, expenses and disbursements) incurred by Seller by reason of the filing by Buyer of such notice of pendency or other instrument. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the same is permitted pursuant to applicable Laws, Buyer shall be entitled to record a notice of lis pendens if Buyer is entitled to seek (and is actually seeking) specific performance of this Agreement by Seller in accordance with the terms of Section 11.2 hereof.

15.12

Additional Agreements; Further Assurances. Subject to the terms and conditions herein provided, each of the parties hereto shall execute and deliver such documents as the other party shall reasonably request in order to consummate and make effective the Transaction; provided, however, that the execution and delivery of such documents by such party shall not result in any additional liability or cost to such party.

15.13

Construction. The parties acknowledge that each party and its counsel have reviewed and revised this Agreement and 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, any amendment or modification hereof or any of the Closing Documents.

15.14

Intentionally Omitted.

15.15

Maximum Aggregate Liability. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Agreement or the Closing Documents, the maximum aggregate liability of the Seller Parties, and the maximum aggregate amount which may be awarded to and collected by Buyer, in connection with the Transaction, the Property, under this Agreement and under all Closing Documents (including, without limitation, in connection with the breach of any of Seller’s Warranties for which a claim is timely made by Buyer) shall not exceed Seven Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($750,000.00). The provisions of this section shall survive the Closing (and not be merged therein) or any earlier termination of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, such $750,000.00 cap on liability shall not apply to any liability of the Seller Parties arising out of the provisions of Section 10.2.4 or Section 10.3.2 hereof.

15.16

Time of Essence. Time is of the essence with respect to this Agreement.

15.17

JURISDICTION. WITH RESPECT TO ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDINGS RELATING TO THE TRANSACTION, THIS AGREEMENT, THE PROPERTY OR THE RELATIONSHIP OF BUYER AND SELLER HEREUNDER (“PROCEEDINGS”) EACH PARTY IRREVOCABLY (A) SUBMITS TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE COURTS OF THE COUNTY OF ST LOUIS, STATE OF MISSOURI AND THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF MISSOURI, AND (B) WAIVES ANY OBJECTION WHICH IT MAY HAVE AT ANY TIME TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY PROCEEDINGS BROUGHT IN ANY SUCH COURT, WAIVES ANY CLAIM THAT SUCH

PROCEEDINGS HAVE BEEN BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM AND FURTHER WAIVES THE RIGHT TO OBJECT, WITH RESPECT TO SUCH PROCEEDINGS, THAT SUCH COURT DOES NOT HAVE JURISDICTION OVER SUCH PARTY. THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION SHALL SURVIVE THE CLOSING (AND NOT BE MERGED THEREIN) OR ANY EARLIER TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT.

15.18

WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HEREBY WAIVES TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY PROCEEDINGS BROUGHT BY THE OTHER PARTY IN CONNECTION WITH ANY MATTER ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH THE TRANSACTION, THIS AGREEMENT, THE PROPERTY OR THE RELATIONSHIP OF BUYER AND SELLER HEREUNDER. THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION SHALL SURVIVE THE CLOSING (AND NOT BE MERGED THEREIN) OR ANY EARLIER TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT.

15.19

Facsimile Signatures. Signatures to this Agreement transmitted by telecopy shall be valid and effective to bind the party so signing. Each party agrees to promptly deliver an execution original to this Agreement with its actual signature to the other party, but a failure to do so shall not affect the enforceability of this Agreement, it being expressly agreed that each party to this Agreement shall be bound by its own telecopied signature and shall accept the telecopied signature of the other party to this Agreement.

15.20

1031 Exchange. Buyer acknowledges that Seller may desire to effect a tax-deferred like-kind exchange with respect to its sale of the Property pursuant to Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code and any similar provisions of State or local Law (an “Exchange”). Subject to the terms and provisions of this section, Buyer shall reasonably cooperate with Seller in effecting any Exchange; provided, however, in no event shall Buyer be required to incur any delays, expenses or risk of ownership, title or conveyance in connection with such cooperation. Any Exchange will be structured by Seller at its sole cost and expense such that Buyer will have no obligation to acquire or enter into the chain of title to any property other than the Property. Buyer’s sole obligation in connection with any Exchange shall be to execute a simple consent pursuant to which it consents to the Exchange. Buyer shall not by this Agreement or acquiescence to any Exchange have its rights under this Agreement modified or diminished in any manner or be responsible for compliance with or be deemed to have warranted to Seller that any Exchange in fact complies with Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code. Buyer shall have the right to review and approve any documents to be executed by Buyer in connection with any Exchange; provided, however, such approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Buyer shall have no obligation to execute any documents or to undertake any action by which Buyer would or might incur any liability or obligation not otherwise provided for in the other provisions of this Agreement. Seller hereby agrees to indemnify and hold Buyer harmless from and against any and all Liabilities arising from any Exchange (other than what would have been applicable under this Agreement without such Exchange), which indemnification agreement shall expressly survive the Closing and not be merged therein. Seller further acknowledges that any Exchange is at the request and initiation of Seller, and Buyer in no manner, expressly or implicitly,

participated in or offered tax advice or planning to or for the benefit of Seller. Seller is relying solely upon the advice and counsel of professionals of the Seller’s choice in structuring, executing and consummating any Exchange.

15.21

Computation of Time. The time in which any act is to be done under this Agreement is computed by excluding the first day (such as the Effective Date), and including the last day, unless the last day is a holiday or Saturday or Sunday, and then that day is also excluded. Unless expressly indicated otherwise, (a) all references to time shall be deemed to refer to Central Time, and (b) all time periods shall expire at 5:00 p.m., Central Time.

[Remainder of page intentionally blank]

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, each party hereto has caused this Agreement to be duly executed to be effective as of the day and year first above written.
