the Xxxxxxx Money in government insured interest-bearing accounts that can be liquidated
immediately without penalty and which are otherwise satisfactory to Seller and Buyer, shall not
commingle the Xxxxxxx Money with any funds of Escrow Agent or others, and shall promptly provide

shall have no further rights or obligations hereunder, except for rights and obligations which, by
their terms, survive the termination hereof.
3.4 Disposition of Xxxxxxx Money. The Xxxxxxx Money shall be applied as a credit to the
Purchase Price at Closing. However, if Buyer terminates this Agreement prior to, or if this
5
Agreement terminates upon, the expiration of the Inspection Period pursuant to Section 4.5,
Escrow Agent shall pay the entire Xxxxxxx Money to Buyer within one (1) business day following
receipt of the Due Diligence Termination Notice from Buyer or within one (1) business day after the
expiration of the Inspection Period unless Buyer has notified Seller and Escrow Agent in writing
that Buyer has elected to proceed to Closing pursuant to Section 4.5. No notice to Escrow
Agent from Seller shall be required for the release of the Xxxxxxx Money to Buyer by Escrow Agent
if this Agreement terminates or is terminated pursuant to Section 4.5. In the event of a
termination of this Agreement by either Seller or Buyer for any reason other than pursuant to
Section 4.5, Escrow Agent is authorized to deliver the Xxxxxxx Money to the party hereto
entitled to same pursuant to the terms hereof on or before the tenth (10th) business day following
receipt by Escrow Agent and the non-terminating party of written notice of such termination from
the terminating party, unless the other party hereto notifies Escrow Agent that it disputes the
right of the other party to receive the Xxxxxxx Money. In such event, Escrow Agent may interplead
the Xxxxxxx Money into a court of competent jurisdiction in the county in which the Real Property
is located. All attorneys’ fees and costs and Escrow Agent’s costs and expenses incurred in
connection with such interpleader shall be assessed against the party that is not awarded the

proportion of such distribution.
ARTICLE 4

agents or representatives, at Buyer’s expense, to inspect at the Real Property and make copies of
any other documents and property records (other than the Excluded Documents, as defined below)
relating to the ownership, operation and maintenance of the Property, but only if and to the extent
such documents and property records are in Seller’s possession at the Real Property (which shall

Notwithstanding anything in this Section 4.1 to the contrary, Seller shall have no

any of the Excluded Documents. As used herein, “Excluded Documents” shall mean any

past or prospective purchasers (other than documents relating to the Leases or the physical or
environmental condition of Real Property), any third party purchase inquiries and correspondence,

shall have reasonable access to the Real Property at all reasonable times during normal business
hours, upon appropriate notice to tenants and licensees as permitted or required under the Leases
and License Agreements, for the purpose of conducting reasonably necessary tests, including surveys
and architectural, engineering, geotechnical and environmental inspections and tests, provided that
(i) Buyer must give Seller twenty-four (24) hours’ prior telephone or written notice of any such
inspection or test, and with respect to any intrusive inspection or test (i.e., core sampling) must
obtain Seller’s prior written consent (which consent may not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned
or delayed), (ii) prior to performing any inspection or test, Buyer must deliver a certificate of
insurance to Seller evidencing that Buyer and its contractor performing such test or inspection
each have in place reasonable amounts of commercial general liability insurance on commercially
reasonably terms for its activities on the Real Property covering any accident arising in
connection with the presence of Buyer, its contractors, agents and representatives on the Real
Property, which insurance shall name Seller and Asset Manager as additional insureds thereunder,
and (iii) all such tests shall be conducted by Buyer in compliance with Buyer’s responsibilities
set forth in Section 4.12 below. Buyer shall bear the cost of all such inspections or tests
and shall be responsible for and act as the generator with respect to any wastes generated by those
tests, if any. Subject to the provisions of Section 4.8 hereof, Buyer or Buyer’s
representatives may meet with any tenant or licensee; provided, however, Buyer must contact Seller
at least forty-eight (48) hours in advance by telephone or fax to inform Seller of Buyer’s intended
meeting and to allow Seller the opportunity to attend such meeting if Seller desires. Subject to
the provisions of Section 4.8 hereof, Buyer or Buyer’s representatives may meet with any
governmental authority for any good faith, reasonable purpose in connection with the transaction
contemplated by this Agreement; provided, however, Buyer must contact Seller at least forty-eight
(48) hours in advance by telephone or fax to inform Seller of Buyer’s intended meeting and to allow
Seller the opportunity to attend such meeting if Seller desires, except that the foregoing shall
not apply to any inspection of city files by Buyer or its representatives nor to any efforts by
Buyer or its representatives to obtain a zoning compliance letter from the City of Seattle.
4.4 Intentionally Omitted.
4.5 Due Diligence/Termination Right. Buyer shall have through the last day of the
Inspection Period in which to (i) examine, inspect, and investigate the Property Documents and the
Property and, in Buyer’s sole and absolute judgment and discretion, determine whether the Property
(including the condition of title to the Real Property, as described in Section 5.3) is
acceptable to Buyer, (ii) obtain all necessary internal approvals, and (iii) satisfy all other
contingencies of Buyer except as otherwise expressly provided herein. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary in this Agreement, Buyer may terminate this Agreement for any reason or no

reason by giving written notice of termination to Seller and Escrow Agent (the “Due Diligence
Termination Notice”) on or before the last day of the Inspection Period, in which event this
Agreement shall immediately terminate and the Xxxxxxx Money shall be promptly refunded to Buyer. If
Buyer does not give written notice to Seller on or before the last day of the Inspection Period
that Buyer elects to purchase the Property (the “Approval Notice”), this Agreement shall
immediately terminate and the Xxxxxxx Money shall be promptly refunded to Buyer. If Buyer gives the
Approval Notice, this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect, Buyer shall be deemed to
have waived its right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 4.4 and this
Section 4.5, and Buyer shall be deemed to have acknowledged that it has received or had
access to all Property Documents and conducted all inspections and tests of the Property that it
considers important.
4.6 Return of Documents and Reports. If this Agreement terminates for any reason other
than Seller’s default hereunder, Buyer shall, following Seller’s request, promptly return and/or
deliver to Seller all Property Documents and copies thereof. Additionally, if this Agreement
terminates for any reason other than Seller’s default, then Buyer must deliver to Seller copies of
all third party reports, investigations and studies concerning the physical or environmental
condition of the Property, other than communications from Buyer’s attorneys, economic analyses,
appraisals or financial projections (collectively, the “Reports” and, individually, a
“Report”) prepared for Buyer in connection with its due diligence review of the Property.
The Reports shall be delivered to Seller without any representation or warranty as to the
completeness or accuracy of the Reports or any other matter relating thereto, and Seller shall have
no right to rely on any Report without the written consent of the party preparing same. Buyer’s
obligation to deliver the Property Documents and the Reports to Seller shall survive the
termination of this Agreement.
4.7 Service Contracts. Buyer shall assume Seller’s obligations under the Service Contracts
listed on Schedule 4.7 from and after the Closing (which assumption shall be subject to the
rights of the vendors thereunder). Seller shall terminate all other Service Contracts as of the
Closing.
4.8 Proprietary Information; Confidentiality. Buyer acknowledges that the Property
Documents are proprietary and confidential and will be delivered to Buyer or made available for
Buyer’s review solely to assist Buyer in determining the feasibility of purchasing the Property.
Unless the Closing occurs, Buyer shall not use the Property Documents for any purpose other than as
set forth in the preceding sentence. Buyer shall not disclose the contents of the Property
Documents to any person other than to its attorneys, advisors and other persons who are responsible
for determining the feasibility of Buyer’s acquisition of the Property and who have been advised to
preserve the confidentiality of such information as required hereby (collectively, “Permitted
Outside Parties”). At any time and from time to time, within two (2) business days after
Seller’s request, Buyer shall deliver to Seller a list of all parties to whom Buyer has provided
any Property Documents or any information taken from the Property Documents. Buyer shall not
divulge the contents of the Property Documents and other information except in strict accordance
with the confidentiality standards set forth in this Section 4.8. In permitting Buyer to
review the Property Documents or any other information, Seller has not waived any privilege or
claim of confidentiality with respect thereto, and no third party benefits or relationships of any
kind, either express or implied, have been offered, intended or created.
8
4.9 No Representation or Warranty by Seller. Buyer acknowledges that, except as expressly
set forth in this Agreement, neither Seller nor Asset Manager has made nor makes any warranty or
representation regarding the truth, accuracy or completeness of the Property Documents or the
source(s) thereof. Buyer further acknowledges that some if not all of the Property Documents were
prepared by third parties other than Seller and Asset Manager. Seller and Asset Manager expressly
disclaim any and all liability for representations or warranties, express or implied, statements of
fact and other matters contained in such information, or for omissions from the Property Documents,
or in any other written or oral communications transmitted or made available to Buyer. Buyer shall
rely solely upon its own investigation with respect to the Property, including, without limitation,
the Property’s physical, environmental or economic condition, compliance or lack of compliance with
any ordinance, order, permit or regulation or any other attribute or matter relating thereto.
Seller and Asset Manager have not undertaken any independent investigation as to the truth,
accuracy or completeness of the Property Documents and are providing the Property Documents or
making the same available for Buyer’s review solely as an accommodation to Buyer.
4.10 Buyer’s Responsibilities. In conducting any inspections, investigations or tests of
the Property and/or Property Documents, Buyer and its agents and representatives shall: (i) not
unreasonably disturb the tenants or licensees or unreasonably interfere with their use of the
Property pursuant to their respective Leases and License Agreements; (ii) not unreasonably
interfere with the operation and maintenance of the Property; (iii) not damage any part of the
Property or any personal property owned or held by any tenant, licensee or other third party; (iv)
not injure or otherwise cause bodily harm to Seller, Asset Manager, or their respective agents,
guests, invitees, contractors and employees or any tenants or licensees or their respective guests
or invitees; (v) comply with all applicable laws; (vi) promptly pay when due the costs of all
tests, investigations, and examinations done with regard to the Property; (vii) not permit any
liens to attach to the Property by reason of the exercise of its rights hereunder; (viii) repair
any damage to the Real Property resulting directly or indirectly from any such inspection or tests;
and (ix) not reveal or disclose prior to Closing any information obtained by Buyer prior to Closing
concerning the Property and the Property Documents to anyone other than the Permitted Outside
Parties, in accordance with the confidentiality standards set forth in Section 4.8 above,
or except as may be otherwise required by law.
4.11 Buyer’s Agreement to Indemnify. Buyer indemnifies and holds Seller and Asset Manager
harmless from and against any and all liens, claims, causes of action, damages, liabilities and
expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of Buyer’s inspections or tests of the
Property or any violation of the provisions of Sections 4.3, 4.8 and 4.10;
provided, however, the indemnity shall not extend to protect Seller from any pre-existing
liabilities for matters merely discovered by Buyer (e.g., latent environmental contamination).
Buyer’s obligations under this Section 4.11 shall survive the termination of this Agreement
and shall survive the Closing with respect to events occurring prior to Closing.
4.12 Environmental Studies; Seller’s Right to Terminate. As additional consideration for
the transaction contemplated in this Agreement, Buyer must provide to Seller, immediately following
the receipt of same by Buyer, copies of any and all third party reports, tests or studies involving
contamination of or other environmental concerns relating to the Property; provided, however, Buyer
shall have no obligation to cause any such tests or studies to be performed on the
9
Property. Seller acknowledges that Buyer has not made and does not make any warranty or
representation regarding the truth or accuracy of any such studies or reports. Notwithstanding
Section 4.11 above, Buyer shall have no liability or culpability of any nature as a result
of having provided such information to Seller or as a result of Seller’s reliance thereon or
arising out of the fact that Buyer merely conducted such tests or studies, except to the extent
Buyer’s actions aggravate any preexisting liability of Seller.
ARTICLE 5
TITLE AND SURVEY
5.1 Title Report. Prior to execution of this Agreement, Seller or the Title Company
delivered to Buyer, and Buyer received: (i) a title report with an effective date of August 11,
2005, under order number RT-20168775 (the “PTR”) issued by the Title Company, (ii) copies
of all documents of record referred to in the PTR as exceptions to title to the Real Property
(“Title Documents”), and (iii) a survey #05-1208 dated “9/05” prepared by Van Cleave and
Associates (the “Survey”).
5.2 New or Updated Survey. Buyer may elect to obtain a new survey or revise, modify, or
re-certify the Survey as necessary in order for the Title Company to delete the survey exception
from the Title Policy or to otherwise satisfy Buyer’s objectives; provided, however, in no event
shall the issuance and/or receipt of such new or revised survey be a condition precedent to, or
delay, Closing.
5.3 Title Review. Buyer has reviewed the PTR and the Survey and has approved Schedule B,
special exceptions 2, 3 and 4 (with respect to non-delinquent installments only), 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9
of the PTR (the “Approved Exceptions”). If the Title Company issues a supplement to the PTR
that includes any new exceptions to title, Buyer shall have three (3) business days after receipt
of such supplement to deliver to Seller a notice disapproving such new exception to title. Buyer’s
failure to so object to such new exception shall be conclusively deemed to be Buyer’s approval of
such new exception. If Buyer timely delivers to Seller such disapproval notice, then Seller, within
five (5) business days after receipt of such disapproval notice, may but shall not be obligated to,
notify Buyer in writing (“Seller’s Title Notice”) that Seller will eliminate or cure (by
title endorsement paid for by Seller and acceptable to Buyer from the Title Company or otherwise)
such new exception, and if Seller so elects, the elimination or curing by Seller of such exception
shall be a condition precedent to Buyer’s obligation to close. If Seller does not deliver Seller’s
Title Notice to Buyer within such period, Buyer is deemed to be notified that Seller is unable or
unwilling to eliminate or cure the new exception. If Seller (i) does not timely deliver Seller’s
Title Notice or (ii) notifies or is deemed to have notified Buyer that Seller is unable or
unwilling to cure any new exception, Buyer may elect to terminate this Agreement by written notice
to Seller delivered within three (3) business days following notice or deemed notice that Seller is
unable or unwilling to cure any new exception. Buyer’s failure to so terminate this Agreement shall
be deemed Buyer’s waiver of any objection to such new exception. Notwithstanding the foregoing
provisions of this Section 5.3 to the contrary, subject to Buyer’s full performance under
this Agreement, Seller does agree to deliver title to the Real Property at Closing free and clear
of liens of the deeds of trust and/or mortgages created by, under or through Seller, which liens
Seller shall cause to be released at or prior to Closing (with
10
Seller having the right to apply the Purchase Price or a portion thereof for such purpose), and
Seller further agrees to remove any title exceptions or encumbrances to title which are voluntarily
created by, under or through Seller after the Effective Date without Buyer’s consent.
5.4 Permitted Exceptions. The term “Permitted Exceptions” shall mean: the Approved
Exceptions; matters created by, through or under Buyer or approved by Buyer pursuant to Section
5.3 above; items shown on the Survey; real estate taxes not yet due and payable; tenants under
the Leases; and licensees under the License Agreements.
5.5 Delivery of Title Policy at Closing. In the event that the Title Company does not
issue at Closing, or unconditionally commit at Closing to issue, to Buyer, an ALTA extended
coverage owner’s title policy (1970 form) in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, insuring
Buyer’s title to the Real Property in the amount of the Purchase Price, subject only to the
standard exceptions and exclusions from coverage contained in such policy form and the Permitted
Exceptions (the “Title Policy”), Buyer shall have the right to terminate this Agreement, in
which case the Xxxxxxx Money shall be immediately returned to Buyer and the parties hereto shall
have no further rights or obligations, other than those that by their terms survive the termination
of this Agreement.
ARTICLE 6
OPERATIONS AND RISK OF LOSS
6.1 Ongoing Operations. From the Effective Date through Closing:
6.2 Leases, Service Contracts and License Agreements. Seller will perform its material
obligations under the Leases, Service Contracts and License Agreements.
6.2.1 New Contracts. Except as provided in Section 6.1.4, Seller will not
enter into any contract that will be an obligation affecting the Property subsequent to the
Closing. Seller shall not amend any Service Contract being assumed by Buyer in a manner that will
affect the Property subsequent to the Closing.
6.2.2 Maintenance of Improvements; Removal of Personal Property. Subject to
Sections 6.2 and 6.3, Seller shall maintain all Improvements substantially in their
present condition (ordinary wear and tear and casualty excepted) and in a manner consistent with
Seller’s maintenance of the Improvements during Seller’s period of ownership. Seller will not
remove any Tangible Personal Property except as may be required for necessary repair or
replacement, and replacement shall be of approximately equal quality and quantity as existed as the
removed item of Tangible Personal Property.
6.2.3 Leasing and License Agreements. Seller will not amend or terminate any existing
Lease or License Agreement or enter into any new Lease or new License Agreement without providing
Buyer (i) all relevant supporting documentation, as reasonably determined by Seller, including,
without limitation, financial information of the tenant and/or licensee, as applicable, and
Leasing/Licensing Costs, to the extent in Seller’s possession, and (ii) as to any such amendment or
termination of a Lease or License Agreement or new Lease or new License Agreement which is to be
executed after the expiration of the Inspection Period, Seller’s request
11
for Buyer’s approval thereof. If Buyer’s consent is requested by Seller as to any amendment or
termination of a Lease or License Agreement or new Lease or new License Agreement, Buyer agrees to
give Seller written notice of approval or disapproval of a proposed amendment or termination of a
Lease or License Agreement or new Lease or new License Agreement within three (3) business days
after Buyer’s receipt of the items in (i) and (ii) of this Section 6.1.4. If Buyer does not
respond to Seller’s request within such time period, then Buyer will be deemed to have approved
such amendment, termination or new Lease or new License Agreement. Buyer’s approval rights and
obligations will vary depending on whether the request for approval from Seller is delivered to
Buyer before or after the expiration of the Inspection Period, as follows:
(i) With respect to a request for approval delivered by Seller to Buyer before the expiration
of the Inspection Period, Buyer’s consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or conditioned.
(ii) With respect to a request for approval delivered by Seller to Buyer after the expiration
of the Inspection Period, Buyer may withhold its consent at its sole discretion.
6.3 Damage. If prior to Closing the Real Property is damaged by fire or other casualty,
Seller shall estimate the cost to repair and the time required to complete repairs and will provide
Buyer written notice of Seller’s estimation (the “Casualty Notice”) as soon as reasonably
possible after the occurrence of the casualty.
6.3.1 Material. In the event of any Material Damage to or destruction of the Real
Property or any portion thereof prior to Closing, Buyer may, at its option, terminate this
Agreement by delivering written notice to Seller on or before the expiration of thirty (30) days
after the date Seller delivers the Casualty Notice to Buyer (which Casualty Notice shall specify
Seller’s estimate of the amount of any deductible) (and if necessary, the Closing Date shall be
extended to give Buyer the full thirty (30) day period to make such election and for the parties to
obtain insurance settlement agreements with Seller’s insurers). Upon any such termination, the
Xxxxxxx Money shall be returned to Buyer and the parties hereto shall have no further rights or
obligations hereunder, other than those that by their terms survive the termination of this
Agreement. If Buyer does not terminate this Agreement within said thirty (30) day period, then the
parties shall proceed under this Agreement and close on schedule (subject to extension of Closing
as provided above), and as of Closing Seller shall assign to Buyer, without representation or
warranty by or recourse against Seller, all of Seller’s rights in and to any resulting 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 and Buyer shall assume full responsibility for
all needed repairs, and Buyer shall receive a credit at Closing for any deductible amount under
such insurance policies (provided however, the credit for any deductible amount shall not exceed
$500,000 in the aggregate and the amount of the deductible plus insurance proceeds shall not exceed
the cost of repair). For the purposes of this Agreement, “Material Damage” and
“Materially Damaged” means damage which, in Seller’s reasonable estimation, exceeds
$500,000 to repair or which, in Seller’s reasonable estimation, will take longer than ninety (90)
days to repair or for which there is no insurance coverage.
12
6.3.2 Not Material. If the Real Property is not Materially Damaged, then neither
Buyer nor Seller shall have the right to terminate this Agreement, and Seller shall, at its option,
either (i) repair the damage before the Closing in a manner reasonably satisfactory to Buyer, or
(ii) assign to Buyer, without representation or warranty by or recourse against Seller, all of
Seller’s rights in and to any resulting 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, Buyer shall assume full responsibility for all needed repairs, and Buyer shall receive
a credit at Closing for any deductible amount under such insurance policies (provided the amount of
the deductible plus insurance proceeds shall not exceed the cost of repair).
6.4 Condemnation. If proceedings in eminent domain are instituted with respect to the
Property or any portion thereof, then Buyer may, at its option, by written notice to Seller given
within ten (10) days after Seller notifies Buyer of such proceedings (and if necessary the Closing
Date shall be automatically extended to give Buyer the full ten (10) day period to make such
election), either: (i) terminate this Agreement, in which case the Xxxxxxx Money shall be
immediately returned to Buyer and the parties hereto shall have no further rights or obligations,
other than those that by their terms survive the termination of this Agreement, or (ii) proceed
under this Agreement, in which event Seller shall, at the Closing, assign to Buyer its entire
right, title and interest in and to any condemnation award, and Buyer shall have the sole right
after the Closing to negotiate and otherwise deal with the condemning authority in respect of such
matter. If Buyer does not give Seller written notice of its election within the time required
above, then Buyer shall be deemed to have elected option (ii) above.
ARTICLE 7
CLOSING
7.1 Closing. The consummation of the transaction contemplated herein (“Closing”)
shall occur on the Closing Date at the offices of Escrow Agent (or such other location as may be
mutually agreed upon by Seller and Buyer). Funds shall be deposited into and held by Escrow Agent
in a closing escrow account with a bank satisfactory to Buyer and Seller. Upon satisfaction or
completion of all closing conditions and deliveries, the parties shall direct Escrow Agent to
immediately record and deliver the closing documents to the appropriate parties and make
disbursements according to the closing statements executed by Seller and Buyer.
7.2 Conditions to Parties’ Obligation to Close. In addition to all other conditions set
forth herein, the obligation of Seller, on the one hand, and Buyer, on the other hand, to
consummate the transactions contemplated hereunder are conditioned upon the following:
7.2.1 Representations and Warranties. The other party’s representations and
warranties contained herein shall be true and correct in all material respects as of the date of
this Agreement and the Closing Date (provided, however, if Buyer has actual knowledge that any of
Seller’s representations and warranties are not true and correct in all material respects prior to
the end of the Inspection Period but Buyer nevertheless did not terminate this Agreement pursuant
to Section 4.5 above, the accuracy of such representations and warranties shall no longer
be a condition to Buyer’s obligation to purchase the Property hereunder);
13
7.2.2 Deliveries. As of the Closing Date, the other party shall have tendered all
deliveries to be made at Closing; and
7.2.3 Actions, Suits, etc. There shall exist no pending actions, suits, arbitrations,
claims, attachments, proceedings, assignments for the benefit of creditors, insolvency, bankruptcy,
reorganization or other proceedings, actually filed against the other party that would (i) prevent
such party from performing its obligations under this Agreement, or (ii) except for any matters
disclosed to Buyer in the Property Documents, materially and adversely affect the operation or
value of the Property.
7.2.4 Estoppels. Seller shall have obtained and delivered to Buyer at least two (2)
business days prior to the Closing Date estoppel certificates substantially in the form of Exhibit
G attached hereto with no material adverse disclosure from tenants leasing at least 80% of the
leased rentable area in the Improvements, including from all tenants leasing a full floor or more
of space in the Improvements. This condition is for the sole benefit of Buyer and if this condition
is not so satisfied, Buyer shall have the right to terminate this Agreement. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, if Buyer fails to terminate this Agreement on or before
the date which is two (2) business days prior to the Closing Date, Buyer shall be deemed to have
waived receipt of such tenant estoppel certificates as a condition of the Closing. Seller shall not
be obligated to expend any funds in connection with obtaining any such tenant estoppel certificates
(unless Seller is specifically required to do so under the terms of any Lease), and the failure of
Seller to obtain any such tenant estoppel certificates shall not be a breach or default hereunder.
So long as a party is not in default hereunder, if any condition to such party’s obligation to
proceed with the Closing hereunder has not been satisfied as of the Closing Date (or such earlier
date as is provided herein), such party may, in its sole discretion, terminate this Agreement by
delivering written notice to the other party on or before the Closing Date in which case the
Xxxxxxx Money shall be returned to Buyer and the parties hereto shall have no further rights or
obligations other than those that by their terms survive the termination of this Agreement, or
elect to close notwithstanding the non-satisfaction of such condition, in which event such party
shall be deemed to have waived any such condition. In the event such party elects to close,
notwithstanding the non-satisfaction of such condition, said party shall be deemed to have waived
said condition, and there shall be no liability on the part of any other party hereto for breaches
of representations and warranties of which the party electing to close had knowledge at the
Closing.
7.3 Seller’s Deliveries in Escrow. As of or prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall
deliver in escrow to Escrow Agent the following:

Agreement).

private covenant for the then-current calendar year of Closing. Specifically, the following shall
apply to such prorations:
8.1.1 Taxes. If Taxes for the year of Closing are not known or cannot be reasonably
estimated, Taxes shall be prorated based on Taxes for the year prior to Closing.
16
8.1.2 Utilities. Buyer shall take all steps necessary to effectuate the transfer of
all utilities to its name as of the Closing Date, and where and to the extent necessary, post
deposits with the utility companies. Seller shall endeavor to have all utility meters read as of
the Closing Date. Seller shall be entitled to recover any and all deposits held by any utility
company as of the Closing Date or, at Seller’s option, take a credit for same on the closing

8.1.3 Tenant Receivables. Rents due from tenants under Leases, license fees and
payments due from licensees under the License Agreements, and operating expenses and/or taxes
payable by tenants under Leases and licensees under the License Agreements (collectively, “Tenant
Receivables”) shall be apportioned on the basis of the period for which the same is payable and if,
as and when collected, as follows:
(a) Buyer shall apply rent, license fees and other income and payments received from tenants
under Leases and licensees under the License Agreements after Closing in the following order of
priority: (i) first, to payment of the current Tenant Receivables then due for the month in which
the Closing Date occurs, which amount shall be apportioned between Buyer and Seller as of the
Closing Date as set forth in Section 8.1 hereof (with Seller’s portion thereof to be
delivered to Seller); (ii) second, to Tenant Receivables first coming due after Closing and
applicable to the period of time after Closing, which amount shall be retained by Buyer; (iii)
third, to payment of Tenant Receivables first coming due after Closing but applicable to the period
of time before Closing, including, without limitation, the Tenant Receivables described in
Section 8.1.3(b) below (collectively, “Unbilled Tenant Receivables”), which amount shall be
delivered to Seller; and (iv) thereafter, to delinquent Tenant Receivables which were due and
payable as of Closing but not collected by Seller as of Closing (collectively, “Uncollected
Delinquent Tenant Receivables”), which amount shall be delivered to Seller. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Seller shall have the right to pursue the collection of Uncollected Delinquent Tenant
Receivables for a period of one (1) year after Closing without prejudice to Seller’s rights or
Buyer’s obligations hereunder; provided, however, Seller shall have no right to cause any such
tenant or licensee to be evicted or to exercise any other “landlord” or “licensor” remedy (as set
forth in such tenant’s Lease or such licensee’s License Agreement, as the case may be) against such
tenant or licensee other than to xxx for collection and if any sums are received as a result of
such collection efforts, such sums (less reasonable, actual costs and expenses of collection,
including reasonable attorneys’ fees, court costs and disbursements, if any) shall be distributed
in accordance with the foregoing clauses (i) to (iv). Any sums received by Buyer to which Seller is
entitled shall be held in trust for Seller on account of such past due rents and license fees
payable to Seller, and Buyer shall remit to Seller any such sums received by Buyer to which Seller
is entitled within ten (10) business days after receipt thereof less reasonable, actual costs and
expenses of collection, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, court costs and disbursements, if
any. Seller expressly agrees that if Seller receives any amounts after the Closing Date which are
attributable, in whole or in part, to any period after the Closing Date, Seller shall remit to
Buyer that portion of the monies so received by Seller to which Buyer is entitled within ten (10)
business days after receipt thereof. With respect to Unbilled Tenant Receivables, Buyer covenants
and agrees to (A) xxxx the same when billable if the accounting records provided by Seller are in
such a state that Buyer can determine the amounts to be billed; and (B) cooperate with Seller to
determine the correct amount of operating expenses and/or taxes due. Buyer shall
17
use commercially reasonable efforts to xxxx for Uncollected Delinquent Tenant Receivables. The
provisions of this Section 8.1.3(a) shall survive the Closing.
(b) Without limiting the generality of the requirements of Section 8.1.3(a)(ii) above,
if the final reconciliation or determination of operating expenses and/or taxes due under the
Leases and/or License Agreements shows that a net amount is owed by Seller to Buyer, Buyer’s pro
rata portion shall be paid by Seller to Buyer within ten (10) business days of such final
determination under the Leases or License Agreements, as the case may be. If the final
determination of operating expenses and/or taxes due under the Leases shows that a net amount is
owed by Buyer to Seller, Buyer shall, within ten (10) business days of such final determination,
remit to Seller Seller’s portion of operating expenses and/or taxes for the period up to and
including the Closing Date, if, as and when received. Buyer agrees to receive and hold any monies
