CONTINGENCY PERIOD

Section 3.01 Contingency Period. The Contingency Period shall commence on the Effective Date and shall expire on March 31, 2005, at 11:59 P.M. Pacific Daylight Time (the “Contingency Period”), during which time RREEF may conduct such inspections, determine and approve the Property income and operating expenses, review and approve the Leases and any other relevant documents and information, and undertake any other due diligence regarding the Property as it desires or deems necessary. At any time during the Contingency Period, RREEF may determine, in its sole and absolute discretion, not to proceed hereunder. In that event, RREEF may terminate this Agreement by written notice to CarrAmerica, in which case the Deposit (including any interest accrued thereon) shall be returned to RREEF and neither party shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder, except as provided in Sections 3.02, 9.03, 9.15 and 9.17 hereof. If RREEF elects to go forward with the formation of the Venture and acquisition of an interest therein, RREEF shall give notice to CarrAmerica in writing of such election to proceed at any time prior to the expiration of the Contingency Period; and such election by RREEF shall be irrevocable, provided that if RREEF proceeds to go forward with the formation of the Venture, then RREEF shall be deemed to have given such notice. Failure by RREEF to so notify CarrAmerica prior to the expiration of the Contingency Period of such unconditional election to proceed, or, in the alternative, actually to proceed to go forward with the formation of the Venture, shall be deemed RREEF’s election not to proceed hereunder and to terminate this Agreement as provided above.

Section 3.02 Right of Entry and Inspection. During the Contingency Period, RREEF and its consultants and advisors may enter upon all portions of the Property to perform such tests and inspections of the Property as RREEF desires, at RREEF’s sole cost and expense, including, but not limited to, conducting soils tests, tests for the presence of hazardous substances and wastes, and engineering, geological, mechanical and structural inspections; provided, however, (i) CarrAmerica’s prior consent shall be required before RREEF undertakes any invasive tests or borings on the Property, (ii) any invasive tests or borings shall be subject to conditions imposed

by CarrAmerica in its reasonable judgment with respect to method, location and other aspects of the tests or borings, and (iii) CarrAmerica shall be previously informed of and permitted to accompany RREEF and RREEF’s consultants and advisors at all times while RREEF or RREEF’s consultants and advisors are present on the Real Property. Promptly after undertaking any invasive test or boring or any other inspection on the Property, RREEF shall restore the Property to its condition immediately prior to any such test, boring or inspection. RREEF agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless CarrAmerica, its partners, and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, affiliates, successors and assigns, from and against any and all Losses arising out of, in connection with or incidental to any injury or death to any person or any damage to the Property or any property of third parties or other property of CarrAmerica, or liens which attach to the Property, by reason of RREEF’s or RREEF’s consultants’ or advisors’ activities on the Property prior to Closing; provided, however, that such indemnification shall not apply to hazardous or toxic materials or other condition presently existing on or about the Real Property, whether disclosed to or discovered by RREEF. This indemnity shall survive the Closing or any earlier termination of this Agreement.

(a) Upon CarrAmerica’s written request, RREEF shall provide CarrAmerica with copies of any test, report, survey, study or other document or information (other than economic analysis and other documents constituting RREEF’s trade secrets or proprietary information) obtained by RREEF in connection with any of its inspections. In the event, as a result of RREEF’s inspections hereunder, the need arises to notify under applicable law any federal, state or local public agencies of any environmental conditions at the Real Property, RREEF shall immediately notify CarrAmerica. RREEF agrees that CarrAmerica, and not RREEF or RREEF’s representatives, shall make such disclosure as CarrAmerica deems appropriate, unless such disclosure is required by law to be made by RREEF or RREEF’s representatives, in which instance RREEF or such RREEF’s representatives shall make such disclosure and RREEF shall immediately notify CarrAmerica in writing. This obligation shall survive the Closing or any earlier termination of this Agreement.

(b) In exercising RREEF’s inspection rights described in this Section 3.02, RREEF shall (i) notify CarrAmerica and obtain CarrAmerica’s approval prior to contacting any tenant of the Property (and shall give CarrAmerica an opportunity to be present at any such tenant meeting), (ii) give not less than two (2) Business Days’ notice to CarrAmerica of any visit to or inspection of the Property, and (iii) conduct all visits, inspections and reviews in a manner consistent with and not likely to disturb the normal operations of the Property, and in such a manner as to minimize, to the extent reasonably practical, any disruption to the tenants of the Property due to such visits, inspections and reviews. CarrAmerica agrees to reasonably cooperate with RREEF in connection with RREEF’s review and inspections of the Property during the Contingency Period.

Section 3.03 CarrAmerica’s Delivery of Documents. Promptly following the Effective Date, CarrAmerica shall, at CarrAmerica’s sole cost and expense, either provide RREEF with, or otherwise make available to RREEF for its review, (a) copies of all information and documents relating to the Property in CarrAmerica’s possession and listed on Exhibit F hereto, and (b) all other documents and information in CarrAmerica’s possession, so long as such requested documents and information are neither subject to a legal privilege nor contain CarrAmerica’s trade secrets or proprietary information (such as any appraisal or other economic analysis of the

Property). In the event the transaction contemplated herein does not close, RREEF agrees to return to CarrAmerica promptly upon request by CarrAmerica, all documents and information so furnished to RREEF hereunder by or on behalf of CarrAmerica, without retaining copies thereof, and agrees to keep such documents and information obtained from CarrAmerica confidential as provided in Section 9.15.

Section 3.04 Title Review.

(a) CarrAmerica shall, at CarrAmerica’s sole cost and expense, provide to RREEF promptly after the Effective Date, (i) a title report for the entire Real Property (the “Title Report”), not more than sixty days old, issued by the Title Company, together with copies of all instruments underlying or giving rise to all exceptions to coverage that would appear in an ALTA owner’s extended coverage title policy, and (ii) a print of the most recent ALTA survey of the Land and Improvements obtained by CarrAmerica (the “Survey”). If RREEF determines that any of the exceptions to title reflected in the Title Report are unacceptable for any reason, or that any matter reflected on the Survey (as the same may be updated during the Contingency Period as required by RREEF, at its sole cost and expense) is unacceptable for any reason (in each case, an “Objectionable Exception”), RREEF shall so notify CarrAmerica in writing (the “Title Notice”) not later than five (5) days prior to the expiration of the Contingency Period. Other than new exceptions discussed below, any title matters not identified as Objectionable Exceptions in the Title Notice shall be deemed “Permitted Exceptions.” Notwithstanding the foregoing, any mortgage lien granted by CarrAmerica, any mechanics lien relating to the construction of the Improvements under a contract entered into by CarrAmerica, or any judgment lien against CarrAmerica recorded against the Real Property shall be deemed an Objectionable Exception and CarrAmerica shall remove or insure over any such lien as an encumbrance against title to the Real Property at or prior to the Closing.

(b) CarrAmerica shall give RREEF written notice (the “Title Response”) within two (2) days after receipt of the Title Notice of whether CarrAmerica will undertake to remove or cure the identified Objectionable Exceptions (whether by causing the elimination of such exception, or by obtaining a title insurance endorsement insuring the Venture as to such matters or other remedy reasonably acceptable to RREEF). CarrAmerica, at its option, may direct that all or any portion of the Contribution Amount be used to pay, through the Closing escrow, any monetary liens, encumbrances or other matters constituting Objectionable Exceptions. If CarrAmerica does not elect to remove or cure all of the Objectionable Exceptions, then RREEF may (1) elect in its sole and absolute discretion to terminate this Agreement by written notice to CarrAmerica, in which case the Deposit (including any interest accrued thereon) shall be returned to RREEF and neither party shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder, except as provided in Sections 3.02, 9.03, 9.15 and 9.17 hereof, or (2) proceed to close hereunder, and accept the Property subject to the Objectionable Exceptions (other than liens that CarrAmerica is obligated, or has agreed, to cure or remove) and the same shall thereupon be deemed Permitted Exceptions.

(c) Notwithstanding the above, any new exception revealed by an update to the Title Report first delivered to RREEF after the date of the Title Notice must be designated in writing (the “New Title Notice”) by RREEF as an Objectionable Exception, if at all, within five (5) days after receipt of the update to the Title Report. CarrAmerica shall give RREEF a Title

Response within five (5) days after receipt of the New Title Notice, and any such new exceptions timely identified as Objectionable Exceptions in the New Title Notice shall be dealt with in the same manner as set forth in Section 3.04(b) above.

Section 3.05 Contracts. Not later than the end of the Contingency Period, RREEF shall notify CarrAmerica of which Contracts the Venture will assume at Closing; provided, however, RREEF agrees that the Venture shall assume any Contract which, by its terms, cannot be terminated prior to the Closing without cost or other penalty. Except as provided above, CarrAmerica shall terminate all Contracts that RREEF does not agree to cause the Venture to assume, effective as of the Closing Date.

Section 3.06 Disclaimer; As Is Transaction. Upon the Closing and delivery by CarrAmerica to the Venture of possession of the Property, RREEF and the Venture shall be deemed to have accepted the Property in its “AS-IS” condition as of the Closing Date, subject only to the representations and warranties expressly provided in Section 5.01 herein and/or the representations and warranties of CarrAmerica contained in any Closing Document executed and delivered at Closing by CarrAmerica pursuant to this Agreement (collectively, “CarrAmerica’s Warranties”).

RREEF specifically acknowledges that, except for CarrAmerica’s Warranties, RREEF is not relying on (and CarrAmerica does hereby disclaim and renounce) any representations or warranties of any kind or nature whatsoever, whether oral or written, express, implied, statutory or otherwise, as to: (1) the operation of the Property or the income potential, uses, or the merchantability, habitability or fitness of any portion of the Property for a particular purpose; (2) the physical condition of the Property or the condition or safety of the Property or any component thereof, including, but not limited to, plumbing, sewer, heating, ventilating and electrical systems, roofing, air conditioning, foundations, soils and geology, including Hazardous Materials, lot size, or suitability of the Property or any component thereof for a particular purpose; (3) the presence or absence, location or scope of any Hazardous Materials in, at, about or under the Property; (4) whether the appliances, if any, plumbing or utilities are in working order; (5) the habitability or suitability for occupancy of any structure or the quality of its construction; (6) whether the improvements are structurally sound, in good condition, or in compliance with applicable laws; (7) the dimensions of the Property or the accuracy of any floor plans, square footage, lease abstracts, sketches, or revenue or expense projections related to the Property; (8) the operating performance, the income and expenses of the Property or the economic status of the Property; (9) the ability of RREEF to obtain any and all necessary governmental approvals or permits for RREEF’s intended use and development of the Property, and (10) the accuracy or completeness of any documents and information delivered to or made available to RREEF by any of the CarrAmerica Related Parties for its review.

RREEF’s failure to give such notice within such five (5) day period shall be deemed a waiver by RREEF of such matter.

(vi) Between the end of the Contingency Period and the Closing Date, no judicial or administrative suit, action, investigation, inquiry or other proceeding by any person shall have been instituted, which, if adversely determined, would materially adversely affect the value or operation of the Property, or CarrAmerica’s obligations to perform hereunder.

(vii) The insurance coverage required to be obtained by the Venture pursuant to the Limited Liability Company Agreement has been obtained and will become effective as of the Closing.

(b) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, CarrAmerica’s obligation to form the Venture, to contribute the Property and to cause the Venture to accept and assume the contribution of the Property from CarrAmerica shall be subject to and contingent upon the satisfaction or waiver of the following conditions precedent:

(v) The insurance coverage required to be obtained by the Venture pursuant to the Limited Liability Company Agreement has been obtained and will become effective as of the Closing.

Section 4.02 Failure or Non-Waiver of Conditions Precedent. In the event any of the conditions set forth in Section 4.01 are not satisfied or waived as of the date specified for satisfaction (or, if no such date is specified, as of the Closing Date), the party intended to be benefited by such condition may, by written notice to the other party, terminate this Agreement. In the event this Agreement is terminated as a result of the failure of any condition set forth in Section 4.01(a) or (b), as applicable, then so long as such failure did not occur as a consequence of a default hereunder by RREEF, the full amount of the Deposit, including all interest accrued thereon, shall be returned to RREEF, and neither party shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder, except as provided in Sections 3.02, 9.03, 9.15 and 9.17 hereof. If either CarrAmerica or RREEF consummates the transaction contemplated by this Agreement while having actual knowledge that (i) any representation or warranty of the other party contained herein is untrue in any material respect, (ii) there has been a breach of any covenant or other obligation by the other party under this Agreement, or (iii) the failure of any condition precedent to Closing was the result of a default or breach by the other party, such party shall be deemed to have waived any claim against the other party based on such breach or default.

All such items attributable to the period to (but not including) the Closing Date shall be charged or credited to CarrAmerica; all such items attributable to the period from and after the Closing Date shall be charged or credited to the Venture. All delinquent taxes, bonds and assessments, if any, on the Property shall be paid by CarrAmerica at Closing, and CarrAmerica shall remain liable after Closing for any escaped taxes or assessments against the Property attributable to the period prior to Closing.

(b) Rentals, delinquent Rentals and other income from the Property shall be prorated between CarrAmerica and the Venture only as and when collected. RREEF and CarrAmerica shall cause the Venture to use reasonable efforts to collect any delinquent Rentals after Closing; provided, however, in no event shall the Venture be required, nor shall CarrAmerica be permitted, to initiate litigation, or terminate or threaten to terminate any tenancy to obtain such amounts. Any Rentals received directly by CarrAmerica after Closing shall be delivered by CarrAmerica to the Venture, for proration in accordance with this Section. Subject to the remainder of this Section, CarrAmerica shall be entitled to any Rentals received by the Venture from tenants after the Closing to the extent such rentals relate to periods prior to the Closing Date. Any delinquent Rentals or other income collected pursuant to this Section shall be applied as follows: (i) reimbursement for reasonable legal expenses incurred by the Venture in collecting such delinquent Rentals or other income, (ii) payment to the Venture of delinquent Rentals or other income which relate to periods from and following the Closing, and (iii) payment to CarrAmerica of delinquent Rentals applicable to periods prior to the Closing.

CarrAmerica shall be credited and the Venture shall be debited with any refundable deposits or bonds held by any utility, governmental agency or service provider with respect to the Property (to the extent the same are disclosed to RREEF and are assignable to and assumed by the Venture in connection with the transfer of the Property). In the event that CarrAmerica holds any security deposits in the form of a letter of credit, CarrAmerica and RREEF shall cooperate so as to cause the transfer such letter of credit to the Venture at Closing or as promptly as possible after the Closing and at CarrAmerica’s cost, or, if any such letter of credit is not transferable, CarrAmerica shall hold such letter of credit for the benefit of the Venture, in such manner as shall be satisfactory to RREEF in its reasonable judgment. The Venture shall indemnify CarrAmerica for any out of pocket costs or claims asserted against CarrAmerica with respect to any such letter of credit held by CarrAmerica for the benefit of the Venture.

(d) CarrAmerica shall be responsible for the payment of the costs of tenant improvements, leasing commissions and other tenant inducements provided for in the Leases executed before March 1, 2005 and for any future expansion of Xxxx Stores onto the approximately 13,642 square feet on Floor 1 (the “Future Ross Expansion”) (a draft amendment therefor dated January 9, 2005 was produced but not executed by the parties as indicated on Schedule 1 attached hereto) (but, except for the obligations of CarrAmerica with respect to Xxxx Stores leases described in this paragraph above or below, specifically excluding any leasing commissions, tenant improvement or other allowances arising in connection with any future expansions, extensions or renewals under any such Leases taking place after March 1, 2005 which shall be the obligation of the Venture); and CarrAmerica Pleasanton shall not receive any credit to its capital account in the Venture for any costs incurred by CarrAmerica with respect to such matters. CarrAmerica’s responsibility for tenant improvements, leasing commissions and other tenant inducements under the preceding sentence shall survive the Closing except to the extent the Venture receives a credit or escrowed funds for such costs at Closing. The parties acknowledge and agree that this Section 8.03(d) is intended to address the allocation of costs between CarrAmerica and the Venture for leasing related costs and that, subject to CarrAmerica paying the costs which it is required hereunder to pay, the Venture (and not CarrAmerica) shall be responsible for completing any tenant improvement obligations for any new leases executed after March 1, 2005. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, with respect to any dispute with Xxxx Stores regarding tenant improvements, reception or lobby improvements or otherwise in connection with the Future Ross Expansion (the “Ross Dispute”), CarrAmerica, at its expense, shall reasonably control the prosecution of any mediation or other proceeding, and have the right, at its expense, to settle any such dispute by agreeing to and paying sums to or on behalf of the tenant; provided, however, that the Venture will have the right to reasonably approve any such settlement and that CarrAmerica shall reasonably consult and cooperate with the Venture to keep the Venture reasonably apprised of the progress thereof, provided (i) that the Venture may disapprove any such settlement in its sole discretion if any such settlement amends the lease with Xxxx Stores described on Exhibit C, including, without limitation, any

amendments thereto, and/or amends the terms under which Xxxx Stores exercised its right with respect to the Future Ross Expansion or (ii) has an adverse impact on the Property, and provided further that CarrAmerica may elect to have the Venture agree with Xxxx Stores to terminate Xxxx Stores’ rights to the Future Ross Expansion Space without the consent of the Venture and without the Venture having to pay any sums or incur any obligations or liabilities. The Venture may participate in such proceedings and the Venture shall have no liability or obligations with respect thereto. CarrAmerica hereby agrees to indemnify the Venture and hold the Venture harmless from and against any amounts that become due and payable to Xxxx Stores, or that have to be paid to construct any improvements or otherwise due to or on behalf of Xxxx Stores as a result of the dispute which is the subject of the foregoing mediation proceeding and any costs and expenses incurred by the Venture arising out of such dispute, including, without limitation, legal fees and costs in connection with such mediation and/or litigation arising therefrom. CarrAmerica Pleasanton shall not receive any credit to its capital account in the Venture for amounts deposited or paid by CarrAmerica under this subsection (d).

(e) Prior to Closing, CarrAmerica will deposit a total of $3,593,624 into a tenant improvement allowance escrow (the “Tenant Improvement Escrow”) to pay for certain tenant improvement allowances agreed to by CarrAmerica under leases to Safeway (in the amount of $1,453,500), to AT&T Corporation (in the amount of $1,890,124) and to Xxxx Stores (in the amount of $250,000 with respect to its lease dated April 15, 2003).

ARTICLE IX

MISCELLANEOUS

Section 9.01 Damage and Destruction.

(a) Subject to the provisions of subsection (b) below, each of the parties shall be bound to proceed with the formation of the Venture and to contribute, in the case of CarrAmerica, the Property and, in the case of RREEF, the Contribution Amount, as required by the terms of this Agreement, without regard to the occurrence during the Contract Period of any damage to or destruction of the Property (“Contract Period Damage”). CarrAmerica shall be responsible for the payment of any deductible under the applicable insurance policies covering any such Contract Period Damage, and any insurance proceeds collected by CarrAmerica prior to the Closing Date as a result of any Contract Period Damage and not expended by CarrAmerica on repair, replacement or restoration of the Property pursuant to subsection (c) below shall be delivered to the Venture at Closing. Subject to subsection (d) below, CarrAmerica shall assign to the Venture at Closing the right to receive any insurance proceeds attributable to such Contract Period Damage and not theretofore collected by CarrAmerica and, to implement such assignment, shall execute such documents as RREEF shall reasonably request. CarrAmerica promptly shall deliver to the Venture any such insurance proceeds as shall be collected by CarrAmerica on or following the Closing Date. In the event any Contract Period Damage is not covered by insurance, subject to subsection (b) below, CarrAmerica shall be responsible for the costs of repairing any such damage to the Property; provided, however, if such uninsured Contract Period Damage exceeds $1,000,000, CarrAmerica may instead elect to terminate this Agreement by written notice to RREEF given prior to Closing. Upon any termination of this Agreement pursuant to this subsection, the Deposit (including any interest accrued thereon) shall be returned to RREEF, and neither party shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder, except as provided in Sections 3.02, 9.03, 9.15 and 9.17 hereof.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) if any Contract Period Damage gives any of the Major Tenants the right to terminate its Lease, or (ii) if the cost of repair, replacement or restoration of the Property attributable to any Contract Period Damage exceeds $1,000,000 in the case of a loss that is not covered by insurance, or $2,000,000, in the case of a loss that is covered by insurance, or (iii) if the rent loss insurance proceeds assignable to the Venture in connection with such loss will not cover the period required for the restoration of the Property and the resumption of rental payments under the Leases, then RREEF may elect to terminate this Agreement by written notice to CarrAmerica given prior to Closing. Upon any termination of this Agreement pursuant to this subsection, the Deposit (including any interest accrued thereon) shall be returned to RREEF, and neither party shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder, except as provided in Sections 3.02, 9.03, 9.15 and 9.17 hereof. In the event RREEF does not elect to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this subsection, the provisions of subsection (a) above shall be applicable. In the event of any Contract Period Damage, the parties shall promptly engage a contractor, mutually acceptable to both parties, to prepare and submit an estimate of the cost and time period for repair, replacement or restoration of the Property. The Closing hereunder shall only be delayed to the extent necessary to allow the parties to obtain that estimate and to make any necessary elections provided above. Any credits given based on an estimate shall be reconciled after Closing as soon as actual numbers are available.

(c) Upon the occurrence of any Contract Period Damage, CarrAmerica may, but shall not be obligated to, use any insurance proceeds collected with respect to such Contract Period Damage to repair, replace or restore the Property to the extent reasonably feasible prior to the Closing Date. The plans, materials, choice of contractor and all other material aspects of the performance of such repair, replacement or restoration shall be subject to RREEF’s and CarrAmerica’s review and approval, each in its reasonable discretion.

(d) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the insurance proceeds to be delivered to the Venture pursuant to this Section 9.01 shall exclude business interruption or rental loss insurance proceeds, if any, allocable to the period prior to the Closing Date, which proceeds shall be retained by CarrAmerica. CarrAmerica shall assign to the Venture all rental loss insurance proceeds, if any, allocable to the period from and after the Closing Date (or, if already collected, such rental loss insurance proceeds shall be deemed Rentals for purposes of proration at the Closing pursuant to Section 8.03).

(e) CarrAmerica Pleasanton shall not be entitled to any credit to its capital account in the Venture as a consequence of any payments under this Section 9.01.

Section 9.02 Condemnation.

(a) If, before the Closing, all of the Property shall be taken by condemnation or eminent domain (or deed given under threat of eminent domain), or any governmental agency notifies CarrAmerica that any such condemnation is planned, this Agreement shall be automatically terminated. Upon any termination of this Agreement pursuant to this subsection, the Deposit (including any interest accrued thereon) shall be returned to RREEF and neither party shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder, except as provided in Sections 3.02, 9.03, 9.15 and 9.17 hereof.

(b) If, before the Closing, any material portion of the Property or any portion which impairs parking or access to the Real Property shall be taken by condemnation or eminent domain (or deed given under threat of eminent domain), then RREEF, at its option, may terminate this Agreement by providing written notice of such termination to CarrAmerica prior to Closing. If RREEF does not so terminate this Agreement, subsection (c) below shall apply. If RREEF elects to terminate this Agreement under this subsection (b), the Deposit (including any interest accrued thereon shall be returned to RREEF and neither party shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder, except as provided in Sections 3.02, 9.03, 9.15 and 9.17 hereof.

(c) If this Agreement is not terminated in accordance with the foregoing, RREEF shall close hereunder (without reduction in Contribution Amount) and the Venture shall accept title to the Property subject to such taking. In such event, at the Closing CarrAmerica’s interest, if any, in proceeds from the taking of the Property condemned shall be assigned by CarrAmerica to the Venture; and any proceeds previously received by CarrAmerica in connection with such taking shall be paid over to the Venture (excluding any portion of such proceeds specifically awarded for attorneys’ fees or other costs incurred by CarrAmerica in securing such proceeds).

Section 9.03 Brokerage Commissions and Finder’s Fees. The parties represent and warrant to each other that no broker or finder was instrumental in arranging or bringing about this transaction except for Secured Capital Corp (“SCC”). At Closing, CarrAmerica shall pay the commission due to SCC, which shall be paid pursuant to a separate agreement between CarrAmerica and SCC. Other than SCC, each party to this Agreement warrants to the other that

no person or entity can properly claim a right to a real estate commission, real estate finder’s fee, real estate acquisition fee or other real estate brokerage-type compensation (collectively, “Real Estate Compensation”) based upon the acts of that party with respect to the transaction contemplated by this Agreement. Each party hereby agrees to indemnify and defend the other against and to hold the other harmless from any and all Losses resulting from any claim for Real Estate Compensation by any person or entity based upon the acts of the indemnifying party, or from payment of Real Estate Compensation to any person claiming by or through the indemnifying party or any entity affiliated with the indemnifying party. The obligations under this Section shall survive the Closing Date.

Section 9.04 Successors and Assigns. Neither RREEF nor CarrAmerica may assign any rights, duties or interests under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other party; provided that, without the other’s consent, either party may assign its rights and delegate its respective duties to form and acquire an interest in the Venture (1) to an entity whose ownership interests are wholly owned, directly or indirectly, and controlled by the respective assigning party, or (2) with respect to RREEF, to a separate account or an entity owned by a separate account advised by RREEF America L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company. Any such assignment shall not release the assigning party of its obligations under this Agreement which accrued prior to such assignment but shall release the assigning party of all obligations under this Agreement arising thereafter. Subject to the limitations on assignment expressed in this Section, this Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of, RREEF and CarrAmerica and their respective successors and assigns.

Section 9.05 Notices.

Section 9.12 Attorneys’ Fees.

Section 9.13 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is determined to be unenforceable for any reason, it shall be adjusted rather than voided, if possible, to achieve the intent of the parties. In any event, all other provisions shall be deemed valid and enforceable to the greatest possible extent.

Section 9.14 Governing Law and Jurisdiction. This Agreement shall be construed and interpreted in accordance with and shall be governed and enforced in all respects according to the laws of the State of California.

Section 9.15 Confidentiality. RREEF and CarrAmerica hereby acknowledge and agree that the terms and conditions of this Agreement are to be kept strictly confidential during the Contract Period and thereafter in the event that this Agreement is terminated and does not proceed to Closing, provided that such undertaking shall not apply to the disclosure of matters necessary to the pursuit of remedies based upon a default under this Agreement.

The satisfaction of any claim by RREEF against CarrAmerica hereunder or in connection with any agreement, covenant, representation, warranty, assignment, assumption or action made, delivered, executed or done under or in connection with this Agreement shall be limited solely to CarrAmerica’s interest in the Property, in the event this Agreement is terminated, or CarrAmerica’s interest in the Venture, in the event the Closing occurs hereunder; provided, however, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, after the Closing: (a) the maximum aggregate liability of CarrAmerica, and the maximum aggregate amount which may be awarded to and collected by RREEF (including, without limitation, for any breach of any representation, warranty and/or covenant by CarrAmerica) under this Agreement and the Closing Documents (excluding the documents described in the last sentence of this Section) executed and delivered at Closing by CarrAmerica pursuant to this Agreement shall under no circumstances whatsoever exceed Four Million Dollars ($4,000,000); and (b) no claim by RREEF alleging a breach by CarrAmerica of any representation, warranty and/or covenant of CarrAmerica contained herein may be made, and CarrAmerica shall not be liable for any judgment in any action based upon any such claim, unless and until such claim, either alone or together with any other claims by RREEF alleging a breach by CarrAmerica of any such representation, warranty and/or covenant is for an aggregate amount in excess of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) (the “Floor Amount”), in which event CarrAmerica’s liability respecting any final judgment concerning such claim or claims shall be for the entire amount thereof, subject to the limitation set forth in clause (a) above; provided, however, that if any such final judgment is for an amount that is less than or equal to the Floor Amount, then CarrAmerica shall have no liability with respect thereto.. In no event shall either party be liable to the other for any consequential or punitive damages in the event of a breach or default under this Agreement. This Section shall survive the Closing or the earlier termination of this Agreement. Nothing in this Section is intended by the parties to limit in any manner the right of the parties to assert any claim or to seek any damages and expenses or to impose any limit on liability arising from a breach or default under the Limited Liability Company Agreement, the Property Management Agreement, or any other documents related thereto.

Section 9.18 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in multiple identical counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, and counterpart signature pages may be assembled to form a single original document.
