claim, which Lease shall be in effect with rents and other charges
being paid by Tenant without reservation.
(g) Approval of the acquisition by the Board of Directors of

form prior to the end of the Initial Inspection Period. Should the
Board of Directors of Buyer not approve the acquisition prior to the
end of the Initial Inspection Period, Buyer
-14-
shall have the right to terminate without penalty or liability to
Seller and the Deposit together with interest accrued thereon, if any,
shall be returned to Buyer. If Buyer fails to terminate the Agreement
prior to conclusion of the Initial Inspection Period, Buyer shall be
deemed that it has obtained the requisite approval.
(h) Delivery to Buyer of the following documents and records
that are reasonably required and necessary for Buyer to meet its
disclosure obligations as a public company (i) a Letter of
Representation and (ii) financial information on the Property for as
long as owned or operated by Seller sufficient for Buyer's auditors, at
its expense, to be able to prepare AICPA standard audited financial
statements, provided that Buyer shall promptly notify the Seller in
writing prior to the expiration of the Initial Inspection Period of any
shortcoming in said reasonably required materials and provided further
that the Seller shall not be required to produce any materials that do
not already exist; should the financial records prove to be not
auditable under the reasonable application of AICPA Standards and
Seller fails to furnish the appropriate material, Buyer shall have the
right during the Initial Inspection Period to terminate the Agreement
without penalty or liability and the Deposit, together with interest
accrued thereon, if any, shall be returned to Buyer.
(i) Owner shall deliver to Buyer at Closing an estoppel
certificate, lease status letter and subordination agreement or
Tenant's Representation Letter from Tenant in a form consistent with

(j) The Building shall be occupied by Tenant under a valid
certificate of occupancy and fully compliant with the requirements of
the Lease.
(k) The Property shall be acceptable to and fully occupied by
Tenant at the date of Closing.
10.2 If any of the conditions set forth in Section 10.1 above are not
satisfied, Buyer, by written notice delivered to Seller on or before the Closing
may elect to (a) waive such condition and proceed with the Closing, or (b)
terminate this Agreement and have the Deposit, together with accrued interest,
if any, returned to it.
10.3 The parties acknowledge that in addition to the matters set forth
in Section 10.1, under certain circumstances, Defect of Title that are not
Permitted Exceptions and which are timely objected to as provided in Section 4
above, may become conditions to Buyer's obligations hereunder, subject to and in
accordance with Section 4.
-15-
SECTION 11. CASUALTY AND CONDEMNATION.
11.1 If, prior to the Closing Date, all or a "Material Portion of the
Property" (as such term is defined below) is taken by public authority, then
Seller shall promptly notify Buyer and Buyer shall have the option, exercisable
by notice given to Seller within thirty (30) days after notice of such taking,
but in any event prior to the Closing, either to proceed with the Closing "as
is," without a reduction of the Purchase Price, and otherwise pursuant to the
terms hereof, or to terminate this Agreement, in which event the Deposit shall
be returned to Buyer.
11.2 If, prior to the Closing Date, all or a Material Portion of the
Property is damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty, other than by the
fault or negligence of Buyer, or Buyer's employees, agents, invitees or anyone
claiming right to possession under or through Buyer, then Seller shall promptly
notify Buyer and Seller shall have, at its option, a period of not more than one
hundred twenty (120) days after receipt of such notice within which to repair
any such destruction or damage, subject to reasonable extension due to delays
caused by weather, labor strikes, unavailability of materials or other causes
beyond the control of Seller (such period being referred to herein as the
"Restoration Period"). If Seller elects to repair any such damage or
destruction, the Closing shall be extended to the date that is five (5) days
after the expiration of such Restoration Period; provided, however, that if such
destruction or damage is repaired before the end of such Restoration Period,
Seller shall have the right to close earlier by giving Buyer written notice
setting a Closing Date not sooner than five (5) days after such notice. If such
destruction or damage is not substantially corrected or remedied within such
Restoration Period, or if Seller elects not to repair such destruction or
damage, then Buyer may elect, by written notice to Seller on or before the
earlier of (i) the Closing Date, as the same may be extended by Seller hereunder
or (ii) five days after receipt of notice from Seller electing not to repair
such destruction or damage, to terminate this Agreement, in which event the
Deposit shall be returned to Buyer and neither party shall have any further
obligations to the other hereunder, except with respect to any provision hereof
that expressly survives the termination of this Agreement. Anything to the
contrary herein notwithstanding, Buyer shall have no right to terminate this
Agreement if (a) such damage was due to the fault or negligence of Buyer, or
Buyer's employees, agents, invitees or anyone claiming right to possession under
or through Buyer or (b) such damage is substantially restored prior to receipt
by Seller of Buyer's notice to terminate. If Buyer does not timely elect to
terminate this Agreement as provided above, Buyer shall be deemed to have waived
any right to terminate this Agreement as a result of such destruction or damage
and Buyer shall accept title to the Property subject to such destruction or
damage but without reduction of the Purchase Price and without any right to
damages and without any other liability on the part of Seller, subject to the
provisions of Section 12.3 below.
-16-
11.3 If this Agreement is not terminated as provided above, then Seller
on the Closing Date shall assign to Buyer (without recourse) the right to
recover insurance proceeds (together with the amount of any deductible which
shall be paid to Buyer by Seller) or condemnation awards, if any, payable by
virtue of such casualty or taking; provided, however that such assignment shall
reserve to Seller the right to recover from such proceeds or award any expenses
incurred in obtaining such proceeds or award and reimbursement for any funds of
Seller expended in restoring the Property prior to the Closing Date.
11.4 If, prior to the Closing Date, any portion of the Property is
damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty (and such damage or destruction
has not been completely restored by Seller), or is taken by public authority,
and such portion is not a Material Portion of the Property, then both Seller and
Buyer shall proceed with the Closing and the Property and the personal property
will be conveyed "as is," without an abatement of the Purchase Price and
pursuant to the terms hereof, but the actual amount of insurance proceeds or
condemnation award, as the case may be, which are collected by the Seller shall
be paid over to Buyer, minus any expenses incurred in obtaining such proceeds or
award and minus any proceeds or award used by Seller to restore the Property. If
uncollected prior to the Closing Date, the right to receive such proceeds or
award, as the case may be, shall be assigned to Buyer (without recourse), such
assignment reserving to Seller the right to recover from such proceeds or award
any expenses incurred in obtaining such proceeds or award and reimbursement for
any funds of Seller expended in restoring the Property prior to the Closing
Date. If Seller has completely restored the Property, Seller shall be entitled
to the entire insurance proceeds.
11.5 For the purposes of this Section, "Material Portion of the
Property" is defined as damage to or a taking of the Property with respect to
which (i) fifteen (15%) or more of the Property are damaged or taken by the
condemning authority, or (ii) access to the Property is permanently lost or
materially modified to the detriment of the Property as a result thereof.
11.6 The parties shall promptly notify each other in writing after
acquiring knowledge thereof, of any taking, destruction or damage to the
Property to which this Section applies. The provisions of this Section shall
survive the Closing hereunder.
SECTION 12. DEFAULT AND REMEDIES.
12.1 If at or prior to Closing, Buyer shall default in the performance
of Buyer's obligations under this Agreement, including without limitation the
obligation to pay the Purchase Price for the Property in accordance with the
provisions of Section 2.1 or 2.2 hereof, Seller shall be entitled to receive the
Deposit together with all interest accrued hereto and Buyer hereby authorizes
the Title Company to pay such Deposit to
-17-
Seller together with all interest accrued thereon in such event. Seller shall
receive the Deposit in consideration of Seller's covenants and agreements herein
and as liquidated damages for Buyer's default. Such liquidated damages shall be
Seller's sole remedy and thereafter neither party shall have any rights or
liabilities against or to the other, except as to any provision that expressly
survives Closing or the termination of this Agreement. The parties acknowledge
if Buyer defaults, it is impossible to compute exactly the damages that would
accrue to Seller. Taking these facts into account, the parties have agreed that
the amount of the Deposit together with all interest accrued thereon is a
reasonable estimate by them of the amount of such damages and fair consideration
for Seller's covenants and agreements set forth herein.
12.2 If at or prior to Closing, Seller shall default in the performance
of Seller's obligations under this Agreement, Buyer, as its sole remedy, may
either (a) terminate this Agreement for such default and have the Deposit
returned to it together with all interest accrued thereon, (b) seek specific
performance of this Agreement, or (c) pursue any other remedies available at law
or in equity.
SECTION 13. NOTICES
13.1 All notices required to be given under this Agreement shall be
deemed given upon the earlier of actual receipt or two (2) days after (i) being
mailed by certified mail, return receipt requested, (ii) delivery to a
nationally recognized overnight delivery service, or (iii) electronic facsimile
transfer addressed as follows:
