Purchaser agrees to provide to Seller a certificate of insurance with regard to each applicable liability insurance policy prior to any entry upon the Property by Purchaser or its consultants or contractors, as the case may be, pursuant to this Section 3.1.

(d) In the event that Purchaser shall determine, such determination to be made in Purchaser’s sole and absolute discretion (and for any or no reason) on or before August 3, 2006 (the “Due Diligence Date”), that the Property is not suitable for Purchaser’s purposes, then Purchaser shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by delivery of written notice of such termination to Seller at any time on or prior to the Due Diligence Date, whereupon (i) Escrow

Agent shall return all but $100.00 of the Xxxxxxx Money to Purchaser; (ii) Escrow Agent shall pay $100.00 of the Xxxxxxx Money to Seller; and (iii) except for those provisions of this Agreement which by their express terms survive the termination of this Agreement, no party hereto shall have any other or further rights or obligations under this Agreement.

Purchaser and Seller mutually acknowledge and agree that the Property is being sold in an “AS IS” condition and “WITH ALL FAULTS,” known or unknown, contingent or existing. Purchaser has the sole responsibility to fully inspect the Property, to investigate all matters relevant thereto, including, without limitation, the condition of the Property, and to reach its own, independent evaluation of any risks (environmental or otherwise) or rewards associated with the ownership, leasing, management and operation of the Property. Effective as of the Closing and except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, Purchaser hereby waives and releases Seller and its partners and their respective officers, directors, shareholders, agents, affiliates, employees and successors and assigns from and against any and all claims, obligations and liabilities arising out of or in connection with the Property.

(b) Subject to Seller’s representations and warranties hereunder, to the fullest extent permitted by law, Purchaser does hereby unconditionally waive and release Seller and its partners and their respective officers, directors, shareholders, agents, affiliates and employees from any present or future claims and liabilities of any nature arising from or relating to the presence or alleged presence of Hazardous Substances in, on, at, from, under or about the Property or any adjacent property, including, without limitation, any claims under or on account of any Environmental Law, regardless of whether such Hazardous Substances are located in, on, at, from, under or about the Property or any adjacent property prior to or after the date hereof. The terms and provisions of this Section 3.3 shall survive the Closing hereunder until the expiration of any applicable statute of limitations.

(c) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the releases set forth in Sections 3.3(a) and 3.3(b) above are not intended to and do not include (i) any claims arising from a breach of Seller’s representations or warranties set forth in this Agreement and (ii) any obligation or other covenant of Seller under this Agreement which, by its terms, survives the Closing or under the Closing Documents.

3.4. Confidentiality. All information acquired by Purchaser or any of its designated representatives (including by way of example, but not in limitation, the officers, directors, shareholders and employees of Purchaser, and Purchaser’s engineers, consultants, counsel and prospective lenders, and the officers, directors, shareholders and employees of each of them) with respect to the Property, whether delivered by Seller or any of Seller’s representatives or obtained by Purchaser as a result of its inspection and investigation of the Property, examination of Seller’s books, records and files in respect of the Property, or otherwise (collectively, the “Due Diligence Material”) shall be used solely for the purpose of determining whether the Property is suitable for Purchaser’s acquisition and ownership thereof and for no other purpose whatsoever. The terms and conditions which are contained in this Agreement and all Due Diligence Material which is not published as public knowledge or which is not generally available in the public domain shall be kept in strict confidence by Purchaser and shall not be disclosed to any individual or entity other than to those authorized representatives of Purchaser and Purchaser’s accountants, consultants, attorneys and prospective lenders who need to know the information

for the purpose of assisting Purchaser in evaluating the Property for Purchaser’s potential acquisition thereof; provided, however, that Purchaser shall have the right to disclose any such information if required by applicable law or as may be necessary in connection with any court action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement. Purchaser agrees that Purchaser shall be responsible for any unpermitted disclosure of any of the Due Diligence Material by Purchaser’s accountants, consultants, attorneys and lenders and/or the use of any Due Diligence Material by any of such parties for any purpose other than as herein contemplated and permitted. The foregoing covenants shall not extend to disclosure of any Due Diligence Material (i) as may be required by applicable law to be disclosed or (ii) that is or becomes public knowledge other than by virtue of a breach of Purchaser’s covenant under this Section 3.4. If Purchaser or Seller elects to terminate this Agreement pursuant to any provision hereof permitting such termination, or if the Closing contemplated hereunder fails to occur for any reason, Purchaser will promptly return to Seller all Due Diligence Material in the possession of Purchaser and any of its representatives, and destroy all copies, notes or abstracts or extracts thereof, as well as all copies of any analyses, compilations, studies or other documents prepared by Purchaser or for its use (whether in written or electronic form) containing or reflecting any Due Diligence Material; provided that any Due Diligence Materials which were not delivered to Purchaser by Seller or Seller’s representatives shall be delivered by Purchaser without representation or warranty of any kind. In the event of a breach or threatened breach by Purchaser or any of its representatives of this Section 3.4, Seller shall be entitled, in addition to other available remedies, to an injunction restraining Purchaser or its representatives from disclosing, in whole or in part, any of the Due Diligence Material and any of the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Nothing contained herein shall be construed as prohibiting or limiting Seller from pursuing any other available remedy, at law or in equity, for such breach or threatened breach. The provisions of this Section shall survive any termination of this Agreement for a period of two (2) years but shall be of no further force or effect after the Closing.

purpose. Other than as set forth above, Seller shall not be required to take or bring any action or proceeding or any other steps to remove any title exception or to expend any moneys therefor, nor shall Purchaser have any right of action against Seller, at law or in equity, for Seller’s inability to convey title subject only to the Permitted Exceptions.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that Seller is unable to convey title subject only to the Permitted Exceptions, and Purchaser has not, prior to the Closing Date, given written notice to Seller that Purchaser is willing to waive objection to each title exception which is not a Permitted Exception, Seller shall have the right, in Seller’s sole and absolute discretion, to (i) take such action as Seller shall deem advisable to attempt to discharge each such title exception which is not a Permitted Exception or (ii) terminate this Agreement. In the event that Seller shall elect to attempt to discharge such title exceptions which are not Permitted Exceptions, Seller shall be entitled to an adjournment of the Closing Date for a period of seven (7) days. If, for any reason whatsoever, Seller has not discharged such title exceptions which are not Permitted Exceptions prior to the expiration of such adjournment, and if Purchaser is not willing to waive objection to such title exceptions, this Agreement shall be terminated as of the expiration of such adjournment. In the event of a termination of this Agreement pursuant to this subsection 4.3(b), the Xxxxxxx Money shall be refunded to Purchaser and neither party shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder except for those that expressly survive the termination of this Agreement. Nothing in this subsection 4.3(b) shall require Seller, despite any election by Seller to attempt to discharge any title exceptions, to take or bring any action or proceeding or any other steps to remove any title exception or to expend any moneys therefor. Nothing in this subsection 4.3(b) shall limit or qualify Seller’s obligations under subsection 4.3(a) or give Seller the right to adjourn the Closing Date or to terminate this Agreement as a result of Seller’s failure or refusal to discharge Monetary Objections as to which Seller is required to obtain releases as provided in subsection 4.3(a).

4.4. Purchaser’s Right to Accept Title. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Article 4, Purchaser may, by written notice given to Seller at any time prior to the earlier of (x) the Closing Date and (y) the termination of this Agreement, elect to accept such title as Seller can convey, notwithstanding the existence of any title exceptions which are not Permitted Exceptions. In such event, this Agreement shall remain in effect and the parties shall proceed to Closing but Purchaser shall not be entitled to any abatement of the Purchase Price, any credit or allowance of any kind or any claim or right of action against Seller for damages or otherwise by reason of the existence of any title exceptions which are not Permitted Exceptions, except for title exceptions as to which Seller has an obligation to obtain releases as provided in Section 4.3(a).

4.5. Cooperation. In connection with obtaining the Title Policy, Purchaser and Seller, as applicable, and to the extent requested by the Title Company, will deliver to the Title Company (a) evidence sufficient to establish (i) the legal existence of Purchaser and Seller and (ii) the authority of the respective signatories of Seller and Purchaser to bind Seller and Purchaser, as the case may be, (b) a certificate of existence of Seller issued by the Georgia Secretary of State, (c) a so-called “gap” indemnity in favor of the Title Company with respect to the period between the date of Closing and the date on which the Limited Warranty Deed shall

be filed in the real property records of Xxxxxx County, Georgia, and (d) any other reasonable and customary affidavits as may be required by Title Company to issue the Title Policy.

Seller shall also cooperate with Purchaser, at no material cost or expense to Seller, in obtaining any subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreements as may be required by Purchaser’s lender, provided that the delivery of any thereof shall not be a condition of Closing or a condition to Purchaser’s obligations hereunder.

(c) No Violations of Agreements. Neither the execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement by Purchaser, nor compliance with the terms and provisions hereof, will result in any breach of the terms, conditions or provisions of, or conflict with or constitute a default under the terms of any indenture, deed to secure debt, mortgage, deed of trust, note, evidence of indebtedness or any other agreement or instrument by which Purchaser is bound.

(d) Litigation. To Purchaser’s knowledge, Purchaser has received no written notice that any action or proceeding is pending or threatened, which questions the validity of this Agreement or any action taken or to be taken pursuant hereto.

The representations and warranties made in this Agreement by Purchaser shall be continuing, shall survive the Closing as provided in Section 12.4 hereof, and shall be deemed remade by Purchaser as of the Closing Date, with the same force and effect as if made on, and as of, such date subject to Purchaser’s right to update such representations and warranties by written notice to Seller and in Purchaser’s Certificate to be delivered pursuant to Section 6.2(c) hereof.

(a) Taxes. All general real estate taxes imposed by any governmental authority (“Taxes”) for the year in which the Closing occurs shall be prorated between Seller and Purchaser as of the Closing. If the Closing occurs prior to the receipt by Seller of the tax xxxx for the calendar year or other applicable tax period in which the Closing occurs, Taxes shall be prorated for such calendar year or other applicable tax period based upon the prior year’s tax xxxx.

(b) Reproration of Taxes. Within fifteen (15) days of receipt of final bills for Taxes, the party receiving said final bills shall furnish copies of the same to the other party and shall prepare and present to the other party a calculation of the reproration of such Taxes, based upon the actual amount of such Taxes for the year in which the Closing occurs. The parties shall make the appropriate adjusting payment between them within thirty (30) days after presentment of such calculation and appropriate back-up information. The provisions of this Section 6.4(b) shall survive the Closing for a period of one (1) year after the Closing Date.

(c) Rents, Income and Other Expenses. Rents and any other amounts payable by tenants shall be prorated as of the Closing Date and be adjusted against the Purchase Price on the basis of a schedule which shall be prepared by Seller and delivered to Purchaser for Purchaser’s review and approval prior to Closing. Purchaser shall receive at Closing a credit for Purchaser’s pro rata share of the rents, additional rent, common area maintenance charges, tenant reimbursements and escalations, and all other payments payable for the month of Closing and for all other rents and other amounts that apply to periods from and after the Closing, but which are received by Seller prior to Closing. Purchaser agrees to pay to Seller, upon receipt, any rents or other payments by tenants under their respective Leases that apply to periods prior to Closing but are received by Purchaser after Closing; provided, however, that any delinquent rents or other payments by tenants shall be applied first to any current amounts owing by such tenants, then to delinquent rents in the order in which such rents are most recently past due, with the balance, if any, paid over to Seller to the extent of delinquencies existing at the time of Closing to which Seller is entitled; it being understood and agreed that Purchaser shall not be legally responsible to Seller for the collection of any rents or other charges payable with respect to the Leases or any portion thereof, which are delinquent or past due as of the Closing Date; but Purchaser agrees that Purchaser shall send monthly notices for a period of three (3) consecutive months in an effort to collect any rents and charges not collected as of the Closing Date. Any reimbursements payable by any tenant under the terms of any tenant lease affecting the Property as of the Closing Date, which reimbursements pertain to such tenant’s pro rata share of increased operating expenses or common area maintenance costs incurred with respect to the Property at any time prior to the Closing, shall be prorated upon Purchaser’s actual receipt of any such reimbursements, on the basis of the number of days of Seller and Purchaser’s respective ownership of the Property during the period in respect of which such reimbursements are payable; and Purchaser agrees to pay to Seller Seller’s pro rata portion of such reimbursements within thirty (30) days after Purchaser’s receipt thereof. Conversely, if any tenant under any such Lease shall become entitled at any time after Closing to a refund of tenant reimbursements actually paid by such tenant prior to Closing, then, Seller shall, within thirty (30) days following Purchaser’s demand therefor, pay to Purchaser an amount equal to Seller’s pro rata share of such reimbursement refund obligations, said proration to be calculated on the same basis as hereinabove set forth. Seller hereby retains its right to pursue any tenant under the Leases for sums due Seller for periods attributable to Seller’s ownership of the Property; provided, however, that Seller (i) shall be required to notify Purchaser in writing of its intention to commence or pursue such legal proceedings; (ii) shall only be permitted to commence or pursue any legal proceedings after the date which is three (3) months after Closing, except that Seller shall be entitled to continue to pursue any legal proceedings commenced prior to Closing; (iii) shall not be permitted to commence or pursue any legal proceedings against any tenant seeking eviction of such tenant or the termination of the applicable Lease; and (iv) shall not commence insolvency or bankruptcy proceedings against any tenant. The provisions of this Section 6.4(c) shall survive the Closing for a period of one (1) year after the Closing Date.

(d) Percentage Rents. Percentage rents, if any, collected by Purchaser from any tenant under such tenant’s Lease for the percentage rent accounting period in which the Closing occurs shall be prorated between Seller and Purchaser as of the Closing Date, as, if, and when received by Purchaser, such that Seller’s pro rata share shall be an amount equal to the total percentage rentals paid for such percentage rent accounting period under the applicable Lease multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of days in such accounting period prior to Closing and the denominator of which shall be the total number of days in such accounting

period; provided, however, that such proration shall be made only at such time as such tenant is current or, after application of a portion of such payment, will be current in the payment of all rental and other charges under such tenant’s Lease that accrue and become due and payable from and after the Closing. The provisions of this Section 6.4(d) shall survive the Closing for a period of one (1) year after the Closing Date.

(e) Tenant Inducement Costs. Set forth on Exhibit “N” attached hereto and made a part hereof is a list of tenants at the Property with respect to which Tenant Inducement Costs and/or leasing commissions have not been paid in full as of the Effective Date. The responsibility for the payment of such Tenant Inducement Costs and leasing commissions shall be allocated as between Seller and Purchaser as set forth on Exhibit “N”. All of such Tenant Inducement Costs and leasing commissions set forth on Exhibit “N” become due and payable after the scheduled date for Closing under this Agreement. Accordingly, if said amounts which are the responsibility of Seller as set forth on Exhibit “N” have not been paid in full on or before the Closing Date (such payment to be evidenced by documentation reasonably acceptable to Purchaser), Purchaser shall assume such payment obligation at Closing, and Purchaser shall receive a credit against the Purchase Price in the aggregate amount of the said unpaid Tenant Inducement Costs and leasing commissions. Except as may be specifically provided to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement, Purchaser shall be responsible for the payment of all Tenant Inducement Costs and leasing commissions which become due and payable (whether before or after Closing) as a result of any renewals or extensions or expansions of existing Leases approved or deemed approved by Purchaser in accordance with Section 5.3(a) hereof between the Effective Date and the Closing Date and under any new Leases, approved or deemed approved by Purchaser in accordance with said Section 5.3(a). The provisions of this Section 6.4(e) shall survive the Closing.

(f) Security Deposits. Purchaser shall receive at Closing a credit for all Security Deposits transferred and assigned to Purchaser at Closing in connection with the Leases, together with a detailed inventory of such Security Deposits. In addition, Seller shall assign (to the extent assignable) and deliver to Purchaser at Closing any and all letters of credit and other instruments held by Seller as security deposits under the Leases. In the event any letter of credit or other instrument held by Seller as security deposits under the Leases is not assignable (such as a letter of credit that is not transferable), Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide Purchaser, at no cost to Seller, with the economic benefits of such property by enforcing such property (solely at Purchaser’s discretion) for the benefit and at the expense of Purchaser; provided Purchaser shall take all reasonable steps required (including making a demand on the tenant) to effectively transfer or reissue to Purchaser such security deposit promptly after Closing; and provided further that Purchaser shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Seller against all claims, liabilities or expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees) arising from a claim that Purchaser improperly exercised its rights under the letters of credit at any time after Closing. The obligations of Seller under this Section 7.1(f) shall survive the Closing until the expiration of the term of the applicable letter of credit, and the obligations of Purchaser under this Section 7.1(f) shall survive the Closing until the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations. Seller shall receive a credit at Closing in the amount of all refundable cash or other deposits posted with utility companies serving the Property which are duly assigned to Purchaser at Closing.

(g) Operating Expenses. Personal property taxes, installment payments of special assessment liens, vault charges, sewer charges, utility charges, and normally prorated operating expenses actually paid or payable as of the Closing Date shall be prorated as of the Closing Date and adjusted against the Purchase Price, provided that within ninety (90) days after the Closing, Purchaser and Seller will make a further adjustment for such taxes, charges and expenses which may have accrued or been incurred prior to the Closing Date, but not collected or paid at that date. In addition, within ninety (90) days after the close of the fiscal year(s) used in calculating the pass-through to tenants of operating expenses and/or common area maintenance costs under the Leases (where such fiscal year(s) include(s) the Closing Date), Seller and Purchaser shall, upon the request of either, re-prorate on a fair and equitable basis in order to adjust for the effect of any credits or payments due to or from tenants for periods prior to the Closing Date. All prorations shall be made based on the number of calendar days in such year or month, as the case may be. If possible, utility prorations will be handled by final meter readings on the Closing Date. If final readings are not possible, or if any such charges are not separately metered, such charges will be prorated on a fair and equitable basis utilizing the billing information for the most recent period(s) for which costs are available. The provisions of this Section 6.4(g) shall survive the Closing for a period of one (1) year after the Closing Date.

(h) Commissions for Pending Lease Transactions. Pursuant to that certain Property Leasing Agreement between Seller and Cousins Real Estate Corporation dated September 29, 1989, as amended and as assigned by Cousins Real Estate Corporation to Cousins (the “Leasing Agreement”), Cousins solicits tenants and negotiates leases for the Property. For any Protected Tenant (as hereinafter defined) who enters into a lease, lease renewal, lease extension or lease expansion with Purchaser within ninety (90) days after the Closing Date, Purchaser hereby agrees to pay Cousins a commission calculated in accordance with the Leasing Agreement. Seller shall deliver to Purchaser a list of Protected Tenants on or before July 31, 2006. As used herein, “Protected Tenant” shall mean any tenant (existing or proposed) with whom Cousins has been, within ninety (90) days of the Closing, holding substantive negotiations for a lease (or a renewal of or expansion under a Lease) relating to the Property. The provisions of this Section 6.4(h) shall survive the Closing for a period of one (1) year after the Closing Date.

ARTICLE 8.
CASUALTY AND CONDEMNATION

8.1. Casualty. Risk of loss up to the Closing shall be borne by Seller. In the event of any immaterial damage or destruction to the Property or any portion thereof, Seller and Purchaser shall proceed to close under this Agreement, and Purchaser will receive (and Seller will assign to Purchaser at the Closing Seller’s rights under insurance policies to receive) any insurance proceeds (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 (less any amounts reasonably

expended for restoration or collection of proceeds) and assume responsibility for such repair, and Purchaser shall receive a credit at Closing for any deductible amount under said insurance policies. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “immaterial damage or destruction” shall mean such instances of damage or destruction: (i) which can be repaired or restored at a cost of $5,000,000.00 or less; (ii) which can be restored and repaired within one hundred eighty (180) days from the date of such damage or destruction; (iii) which are not so extensive as to allow tenants leasing more than one percent (1%) in the aggregate of the leased floor area of the Improvements to terminate their Leases on account of such damage or destruction; and (iv) in which Seller’s rights under its rent loss insurance policy covering the Property are assignable to Purchaser and will continue pending restoration and repair of the damage or destruction.

In the event of any material damage or destruction to the Property or any portion thereof, Purchaser may, at its option, by notice to Seller given within the earlier of fifteen (15) days after Purchaser is notified by Seller of such damage or destruction, or the Closing, but in no event less than ten (10) days after Purchaser is notified by Seller 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, whereupon Escrow Agent shall immediately return the Xxxxxxx Money to Purchaser, or (ii) proceed to close under this Agreement, receive (and Seller will assign to Purchaser at the Closing Seller’s rights under insurance policies to receive) any insurance proceeds (including any rent loss insurance applicable to the period on or after the Closing Date) due Seller as a result of such damage or destruction (less any amounts reasonably expended for restoration or collection of proceeds) and assume responsibility for such repair, and Purchaser shall receive a credit at Closing for any deductible amount under said insurance policies. If Purchaser fails to deliver to Seller notice of its election within the period set forth above, Purchaser will conclusively be deemed to have elected to proceed with the Closing as provided in clause (ii) of the preceding sentence. If Purchaser elects clause (ii) above, Seller will cooperate with Purchaser after the Closing to assist Purchaser in obtaining the insurance proceeds from Seller’s insurers. For purposes of this Agreement “material damage or destruction” shall mean all instances of damage or destruction that are not immaterial, as defined herein.

8.2. Condemnation. If, prior to the Closing, all or any part of the Property is subjected to a bona fide threat of condemnation by a body having the power of eminent domain or is taken by eminent domain or condemnation (or sale in lieu thereof), or if Seller has received written notice that any condemnation action or proceeding with respect to the Property is contemplated by a body having the power of eminent domain (collectively, a “Taking”), Seller shall give Purchaser immediate written notice of such Taking. In the event of any immaterial Taking with respect to the Property or any portion thereof, Seller and Purchaser shall proceed to close under this Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “immaterial Taking” shall mean such instances of Taking of a Property: (i) which do not result in a taking of any portion of the building structure of the building occupied by tenants on the Property; (ii) which do not result in a decrease in the number of parking spaces at the Property (taking into account the number of additional parking spaces that can be provided within 180 days of such Taking); and (iii) which are not so extensive as to allow a tenant to terminate its Lease or xxxxx or reduce rent payable thereunder [unless business loss or rent insurance (subject to applicable deductibles) or condemnation award proceeds shall be available in the full amount of such abatement or

reduction, and Purchaser shall receive a credit at Closing for such deductible amount] on account of such Taking.

In the event of any material Taking of the Property or any portion thereof, Purchaser may, at its option, by written notice to Seller given within fifteen (15) days after receipt of such notice from Seller, elect to terminate this Agreement, or Purchaser may choose to proceed to close. If Purchaser chooses to terminate this Agreement in accordance with this Section 8.2, then the Xxxxxxx Money shall be returned immediately to Purchaser by Escrow Agent and the rights, duties, obligations, and liabilities of the parties hereunder shall immediately terminate and be of no further force and effect, except for those provisions of this Agreement which by their express terms survive the termination of this Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement “material Taking ” shall mean all instances of a Taking that are not immaterial, as defined herein.

If Purchaser does not elect to, or has no right to, terminate this Agreement in accordance herewith on account of a Taking, this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and the sale of the Property contemplated by this Agreement, less any interest taken by eminent domain or condemnation, or sale in lieu thereof, shall be effected with no further adjustment and without reduction of the Purchase Price, and at the Closing, Seller shall assign, transfer, and set over to Purchaser all of the right, title, and interest of Seller in and to any awards applicable to the Property that have been or that may thereafter be made for such Taking. At such time as all or a part of the Property is subjected to a bona fide threat of condemnation and Purchaser shall not have elected to terminate this Agreement as provided in this Section 8.2, (i) Purchaser shall thereafter be permitted to participate in the proceedings as if Purchaser were a party to the action, and (ii) Seller shall not settle or agree to any award or payment pursuant to condemnation, eminent domain, or sale in lieu thereof without obtaining Purchaser’s prior written consent thereto in each case.

ARTICLE 9.
DEFAULT AND REMEDIES

9.1. Purchaser’s Default. If Purchaser fails to consummate this transaction for any reason other than Seller’s default, failure of a condition to Purchaser’s obligation to close, or the exercise by Purchaser of an express right of termination granted herein, Seller shall be entitled, as its sole remedy hereunder, to terminate this Agreement and to receive and retain the Xxxxxxx Money as full liquidated damages for such default of Purchaser, the parties hereto acknowledging that it is impossible to estimate more precisely the damages which might be suffered by Seller upon Purchaser’s default, and that said Xxxxxxx Money is a reasonable estimate of Seller’s probable loss in the event of default by Purchaser. The retention by Seller of said Xxxxxxx Money is intended not as a penalty, but as full liquidated damages. The right to retain the Xxxxxxx Money as full liquidated damages is Seller’s sole and exclusive remedy in the event of default hereunder by Purchaser, and Seller hereby waives and releases any right to (and hereby covenants that it shall not) xxx the Purchaser: (a) for specific performance of this Agreement, or (b) to recover actual damages in excess of the Xxxxxxx Money. The foregoing liquidated damages provision shall not apply to or limit Purchaser’s liability for Purchaser’s obligations under Sections 3.1(b), 3.1(c), 3.4 and 11.1 of this Agreement or for Purchaser’s obligation to pay to Seller all attorney’s fees and costs of Seller to enforce the provisions of this

Section 9.1. Purchaser hereby waives and releases any right to (and hereby covenants that it shall not) xxx Seller or seek or claim a refund of said Xxxxxxx Money (or any part thereof) on the grounds it is unreasonable in amount and exceeds Seller’s actual damages or that its retention by Seller constitutes a penalty and not agreed upon and reasonable liquidated damages.

9.2. Seller’s Default. If Seller fails to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement for any reason other than Purchaser’s default or the permitted termination of this Agreement by Seller or Purchaser as expressly provided herein, Purchaser shall be entitled, as its sole remedy, either (a) to receive the return of the Xxxxxxx Money from Escrow Agent and reimbursement from Seller for the out-of-pocket costs and expenses actually incurred by Purchaser in connection with the negotiation of and performance of this Agreement, Purchaser’s investigation of the Property and any rate lock breakage fees in connection with Purchaser’s proposed financing for the Property, including, without limitation, attorney’s fees and expenses, all in an amount not to exceed $2,000,000.00, which return and reimbursement shall operate to terminate this Agreement and release Seller from any and all liability hereunder, or (b) to enforce specific performance of Seller’s obligation to execute and deliver the documents required to convey the Property to Purchaser in accordance with this Agreement; it being specifically understood and agreed that the remedy of specific performance shall not be available to enforce any other obligation of Seller hereunder. Except as expressly set forth in the immediately preceding sentence and for Seller’s indemnification obligations under Section 11.1 of this Agreement, Purchaser expressly waives its rights to seek damages in the event of Seller’s pre-Closing default hereunder. Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected to terminate this Agreement and to receive a return of the Xxxxxxx Money from Escrow Agent if Purchaser fails to file suit for specific performance against Seller in a court having jurisdiction in the county and state in which the Property is located, on or before sixty (60) days following the date upon which the Closing was to have occurred.

ARTICLE 10.
ASSIGNMENT

10.1. Assignment. Subject to the next following sentence, this Agreement and all rights and obligations hereunder shall not be assignable by any party without the written consent of the other. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, this Agreement and Purchaser’s rights hereunder may be transferred and assigned to any entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with Purchaser. Any assignee or transferee under any such assignment or transfer by Purchaser as to which Seller’s written consent has been given or as to which Seller’s consent is not required hereunder shall expressly assume all of Purchaser’s duties, liabilities and obligations under this Agreement by written instrument delivered to Seller as a condition to the effectiveness of such assignment or transfer. No assignment or transfer shall relieve the original Purchaser of any duties or obligations hereunder, and the written assignment and assumption instrument shall expressly so provide. For purposes of this Section 10.1, the term “control” shall mean the direct or indirect ownership of at least fifty percent (50%) of the applicable entity or the ability through ownership of shares or member or partnership interests, as the case may be, to direct the actions and make management decisions on behalf of the applicable entity. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective legal representatives, successors and permitted assigns. This

Agreement is not intended and shall not be construed to create any rights in or to be enforceable in any part by any other persons.

ARTICLE 11.
BROKERAGE COMMISSIONS

13.6 Severability. This Agreement is intended to be performed in accordance with, and only to the extent permitted by, all applicable laws, ordinances, rules and regulations. If any provision of this Agreement, or the application thereof to any person or circumstance, shall, for any reason and to any extent be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement and the application of such provision to other persons or circumstances shall not be affected thereby but rather shall be enforced to the greatest extent permitted by law.

13.7 Construction. This Agreement shall not be construed more strictly against one party than against the other merely by virtue of the fact that this Agreement may have been prepared by counsel for one of the parties, it being mutually acknowledged and agreed that Seller and Purchaser and their respective counsel have contributed substantially and materially to the preparation and negotiation of this Agreement. Accordingly, 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.

13.8 Sale Notification Letters. Promptly following the Closing, Purchaser shall deliver the Tenant Notices of Sale to each of the respective tenants under the Leases and the Other Notices of Sale to each service provider and leasing agent, the obligations under whose respective Service Contracts and Commission Agreements Purchaser has assumed at Closing.

Likewise, Seller agrees that for a period of two (2) years following the Closing, Purchaser shall have the right during regular business hours, on five (5) days’ written notice to Seller, to examine and review at Seller’s office, all books, records and files, if any, retained by Seller relating to the ownership and operation of the Property by Seller prior to the Closing.

Each of Purchaser and Seller further agrees that service of any process, summons, notice or document by U.S. registered mail to such party’s respective address set forth above shall be effective service of process for any action, suit or proceeding in Georgia with respect to any matters to which it has submitted to jurisdiction as set forth above in the immediately preceding sentence. Each of Purchaser and Seller irrevocably and unconditionally waives trial by jury and irrevocably and unconditionally waives any objection to the laying of venue of any action, suit or proceeding arising out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby in (a) the Superior Court of Xxxxxx County, Georgia located in Atlanta, Georgia, and (b) the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia, and hereby further irrevocably and unconditionally waives and agrees not to plead or claim in any such court that any such action, suit or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

13.11 Entire Agreement. Except as provided in this Section 13.11 and except for that certain Advisory Fee Agreement of even date herewith by and among Seller, Purchaser and Avalon Capital Partners, LLC, this Agreement contains the entire agreement of the parties hereto, and no representations, inducements, promises, or agreements, oral or otherwise, between the parties not embodied herein shall be of any force or effect. The terms and provisions of that certain Access and Confidentiality Agreement dated July 12, 2006, by and between Seller and Purchaser are hereby incorporated herein and shall remain in full force and effect except that, to the extent of any conflict or inconsistency between the terms of said Access and Confidentiality Agreement and this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall govern and control.

13.12 General Provisions. No failure of either party to exercise any power given hereunder or to insist upon strict compliance with any obligation specified herein, and no custom or practice at variance with the terms hereof, shall constitute a waiver of either party’s right to demand exact compliance with the terms hereof. Any amendment to this Agreement shall not be binding upon Seller or Purchaser unless such amendment is in writing and executed by both Seller and Purchaser. Subject to the provisions of Section 10.1 hereof, the provisions of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective heirs, legal representatives, successors, and permitted assigns. Time is of the essence in this Agreement. The headings inserted at the beginning of each paragraph are for convenience only, and do not add to or subtract from the meaning of the contents of each paragraph. This Agreement shall be construed and interpreted under the laws of the State of Georgia. Except as otherwise provided herein, all rights, powers, and privileges conferred hereunder upon the parties shall be cumulative but not restrictive to those given by law. All personal pronouns used in this Agreement, whether used in the masculine, feminine, or neuter gender shall include all genders, and all references herein to the singular shall include the plural and vice versa.

13.13 Attorney’s Fees. If Purchaser or Seller brings an action at law or equity against the other in order to enforce the provisions of this Agreement or as a result of an alleged default under this Agreement, the prevailing party in such action shall be entitled to recover court costs and reasonable attorney’s fees actually incurred from the other.

13.14 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which when taken together shall constitute one and the same original. To facilitate the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the parties may execute and exchange counterparts of the signature pages by facsimile, and the signature page of either party to any counterpart may be appended to any other counterpart.

13.15 Effective Agreement. The submission of this Agreement for examination is not intended to nor shall constitute an offer to sell, or a reservation of, or option or proposal of any kind for the purchase of the Property. In no event shall any draft of this Agreement create any obligation or liability, it being understood that this Agreement shall be effective and binding only when a counterpart of this Agreement has been executed and delivered by each party hereto.

13.16 1031 Exchange. Either party hereto may elect to seek to structure its purchase or sale, as applicable, of the Property as a tax-deferred exchange pursuant to Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the treasury regulations promulgated thereunder (“1031 Exchange”), subject to the limitations set forth herein. Each party shall reasonably cooperate with the other, at no material cost to such cooperating party, in connection with the same, including, but not limited to, executing and delivering a consent to an assignment to a qualified exchange intermediary of rights (but not obligations) under this Agreement; provided that (i) neither party shall be required to incur any additional liabilities or financial obligations as a consequence of such cooperation, (ii) neither party shall be relieved of its obligations, representations or warranties under this Agreement, and (iii) such 1031 Exchange shall not delay the Closing. Additionally, in connection with any 1031 Exchange, neither party

shall be required to acquire title to any other property. Any risk that such an exchange or conveyance might not qualify as a tax-deferred transaction shall also be borne solely by the party seeking to effectuate the same, and each party acknowledges that the other has not provided, and will not provide, any tax, accounting, legal or other advice regarding the efficacy of any attempt to structure the transaction as a 1031 Exchange. Each party hereby agrees to save, protect, defend, indemnify and hold the other harmless from any and all losses, costs, claims, liabilities, penalties and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorney’s fees, fees of accountants and other experts, and costs of any judicial or administrative proceeding or alternative dispute resolution to which the other may be exposed, due to any attempt to structure the transaction as a 1031 Exchange. The provisions of this Section 13.16 shall survive the Closing until the expiration of any applicable statute of limitations.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Agreement as of the day, month and year first above written.
