In the course of its investigations, Purchaser may make inquiries concerning the
Real Property to third parties, including, without limitation, representatives,
contractors, parties to Service Contracts and municipal, local and other

penalties, demands, attorneys’ fees, mechanic’s liens, or expenses of any kind
or nature whatsoever (“Claims”), to the extent caused by any entry and/or
activities upon the Property by Purchaser, Purchaser’s agents, contractors
and/or subcontractors, provided, however, Purchaser shall not indemnify Seller
against any Claims caused by Seller’s negligence or willful misconduct, or
Claims arising out of conditions that were present before Purchaser entered the
Property, except to the extent that Purchaser’s activities (a) are unreasonable
in the context of the information provided to Purchaser, or reasonably evident
to Purchaser, with respect to such existing condition, and (b) exacerbate such
existing conditions. The foregoing indemnity obligations shall survive the
termination of this Agreement and the Closing.

2.4. Ground Lessor Estoppel. Seller shall endeavor to secure and deliver to
Purchaser an estoppel certificate from Ground Lessor under the Ground Lease
substantially in the form of Exhibit D attached hereto (the “Ground Lessor
Estoppel”). The Ground Lessor Estoppel shall be delivered to Ground Lessor no
later than one (1) day after the Effective Date, and Seller shall apply
commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the same, duly executed by Ground
Lessor, and deliver the same to Purchaser no later than one (1) day after the
Effective Date. Seller shall provide Purchaser with copies of the Ground Lessor
Estoppel in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D for Purchaser’s review and
comment before delivering the Ground Lessor Estoppel to Ground Lessor. If Ground

certificate in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E.

2.5. Service Contracts; Property Management and Leasing Agreements; Property
Employees. During the Due Diligence Period, Purchaser shall notify Seller as to
which Service Contracts Purchaser will assume and which Service Contracts shall
be terminated by Seller in Purchaser’s sole discretion. Purchaser will assume
the obligations arising from and after the Closing Date under those Service
Contracts which Purchaser has elected to assume. Seller shall terminate at
Closing all Service Contracts that are not so assumed, provided that such
termination does not expose Seller to liability. Seller shall terminate at
Closing, and Purchaser shall not assume, any property management or leasing
agreement affecting the Property.

ARTICLE 3. TITLE AND SURVEY REVIEW

3.1. Delivery of Preliminary Title Report and Survey. Seller shall cause to be
delivered to Purchaser on the Effective Date, any existing survey of the Land
and the Building in Seller’s possession or control. Purchaser may, in its sole
discretion, and at its sole expense, obtain a new ALTA-ACSM Urban survey of the
Property (the “Survey”) prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period,
including a certification addressed to Purchaser, substantially in the form
attached hereto as Exhibit F. The Survey shall plot all plotable easements
benefiting the Property. Purchaser may, in its sole discretion, obtain a
preliminary title report (the “Preliminary Title Report”) issued by the Title
Company. The Preliminary Title Report, the documents referred to therein, and
the Survey are referred to herein collectively as the “Title Documents.”

 

3

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

3.2. Title Review and Cure. During the Due Diligence Period, Purchaser shall
review title to the Property as disclosed by the Title Documents. Purchaser
shall be entitled to object to any title matters shown in the Title Documents,
in its sole discretion, by a written notice of objections delivered to Seller on
or before the expiration of the Due Diligence Period. Purchaser shall notify the
Seller before the expiration of the Due Diligence Period which title exceptions
(excluding survey matters), if any, will not be accepted by Purchaser (the
“Title Notice”). If Purchaser fails to notify Seller in writing of its
disapproval of any exceptions before the expiration of the Due Diligence Period,
Purchaser shall be deemed to have approved the condition of title to the Real
Property. If Purchaser notifies Seller in writing that Purchaser objects to any
exceptions to title, Seller shall have one (1) business day after receipt of the
Title Notice to notify Purchaser of either of the following: (a) that Seller
will remove all such objectionable exceptions from title on or before the
Closing; (b) that Seller will remove certain objectionable exceptions from title
on or before the Closing; or (c) that Seller elects not to cause such exceptions
to be removed. If Seller fails to notify Purchaser within such one (1) business
day period, then Seller shall be deemed to have made an election under the
foregoing clause (c). Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of
this Agreement, all monetary obligations (including, without limitation,
mechanics’ and materialmens’ liens or claims thereof, any liens or encumbrances
that secure obligations for borrowed money and any exceptions or encumbrances to
title which are created by or through Seller after the Effective Date) disclosed
in the Preliminary Title Report constituting a lien against the Real Property
are to be satisfied by Seller before Closing. With respect to any other
objections, Seller will reasonably cooperate with Purchaser in curing such
objections. The procurement by Seller of a commitment for the issuance of the
Title Policy (as defined in Section 5.2(f) hereof) or an endorsement thereto
insuring Purchaser, in a manner acceptable to Purchaser, against any title
exception which was disapproved pursuant to this Section 3.2 shall be deemed a
cure by Seller of such disapproval. If Seller gives Purchaser notice under
clause (b) or (c) above, Purchaser shall have one (1) business day after the
date of such notice in which to notify Seller that Purchaser will nevertheless
proceed with the purchase in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement
and take title to the Property subject to such exceptions, or that Purchaser
will terminate this Agreement and receive a refund of the Earnest Money. If
Purchaser does not terminate this Agreement or deliver a Title Notice to Seller
before the expiration of the Due Diligence Period pursuant to Section 2.2, then
Purchaser shall have been deemed to have approved any title exception set forth
in the Title Documents that Seller is not obligated to remove and Seller did not
agree in writing to remove or cure. If after the expiration of the Due Diligence
Period the Title Company revises the Preliminary Title Report or the surveyor
revises the Survey, to add or modify exceptions, then Purchaser may terminate
this Agreement and receive a refund of the Earnest Money if the provision for
their removal or modification satisfactory to Purchaser is not made. In such
case, the Closing Date shall be extended for up to ten (10) days in order for
Purchaser and Seller to determine if such exception can be resolved and to give
Purchaser the opportunity to terminate this Agreement and receive a refund of
the Earnest Money if the exception is not removed.

3.3. Permitted Exceptions and Endorsements. “Permitted Exceptions” means the
following exceptions approved or deemed approved by Purchaser pursuant to this
Agreement: real estate taxes not yet due and payable; the Ground Lease; tenants
in possession as tenants only under the lease agreement to be entered into
between Seller, as tenant, and Purchaser, as landlord, at Closing (the “NPS
Lease”); the form of which is attached hereto as Exhibit J, and the exceptions
approved (or deemed approved) by Purchaser pursuant to the terms of Section 3.2
above. For the avoidance of doubt, the general exceptions in the Preliminary
Title Report will be removed upon issuance of the ALTA extended coverage title
policy to be issued in this transaction and are not Permitted Exceptions.
“Purchaser’s Endorsements” shall mean, to the extent such endorsements are
available under the laws of the state in which the Property is located:
(1) owner’s comprehensive; (2) access; (3) survey (accuracy of survey);
(4) location (survey legal matches title legal); (5) separate tax lot;
(6) subdivision map act; (7) zoning 3.1, with parking and loading docks;
(8) mechanic’s lien; (9) deletion of creditors’ rights exception;

endorsement; and (13) such other endorsements as Purchaser may require during
the Due Diligence Period based on its review of the Preliminary Title Report and
Survey.

3.4. ALTA Statement. Seller shall execute at Closing an ALTA Statement (Owner’s
Affidavit) and any other documents, undertakings or agreements, including a
mechanic’s lien indemnity, customarily required by the Title Company to enable
it to issue the Title Policy (as defined in Section 5.2(f) hereof) in accordance
with the provisions of this Agreement.

ARTICLE 4. GROUND LEASE, OPERATIONS AND RISK OF LOSS

4.1. Ground Lease.

(a) Waiver. On or before the Effective Date, Ground Lessor shall have waived its
option to purchase right under Article VI of the Ground Lease;

(b) Consent. No later than one (1) business day after the Effective Date, Seller
shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a consent from Ground
Lessor, consenting to the NPS Lease and the transfer of Seller’s leasehold
interest in the Land and Improvements to Purchaser, in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser;

(c) Transfer Costs. Seller shall pay, if any, all: (i) transfer fees and other
fees, costs and expenses charged by Ground Lessor in connection with the

to the recordation of the amendment to the Ground Lease. Each party shall pay
the fees charged by its attorneys in connection with the assignment of the
Ground Lease;

(d) Cooperation. The parties shall cooperate in good faith and with reasonable
diligence to secure the approval of Ground Lessor to the assignment of the
Ground Lease to Purchaser and the NPS Lease prior to the expiration of the Due
Diligence Period.

(a) Preservation of Business. Seller shall cause the Property to be operated
only in the ordinary and usual course of business and consistent with past
practice, shall, subject to reasonable wear and tear, preserve intact the
Property, preserve the good will and advantageous relationships of Seller with
customers, suppliers, independent contractors, employees and other persons or
entities material to the operation of its business, shall perform its

Seller contained herein to become inaccurate or any of the covenants of Seller
to be breached.

insurance through the Closing Date, and shall not allow any breach, default,
termination or cancellation of such insurance policies or agreements to occur or
exist.

(c) New Contracts. Without Purchaser’s prior written consent in each instance,
Seller will not enter into or amend, terminate, waive any default under, or
grant concessions regarding any contract or agreement that will be an obligation
affecting the Property or binding on Purchaser after the Closing.

(d) Leasing Arrangements. Seller will not enter into any lease, sublease of
space or other occupancy agreements affecting the Real Property, and any and all

received by landlord in connection therewith (except the NPS Lease) without
Purchaser’s prior written consent.

Ground Lease.

(g) Exclusive Negotiations. Seller shall: (i) remove the Property from the

purchasers of the Property.

4.3. Damage. All risk of loss with respect to the Property shall remain with
Seller until the Closing and delivery of the Deed (as defined below) vesting
title in Purchaser, when full risk of loss with respect to the Property shall
pass to Purchaser. Seller shall promptly give Purchaser written notice of any
damage to the Property, describing such damage, whether such damage is covered
by insurance and the estimated cost of repairing such damage, provided that such
damage is known to Seller. If such damage is not material, then the parties
shall proceed to close this transaction, and Seller shall, to the extent
possible, begin repairs prior to the Closing out of any insurance proceeds
received by Seller for the damage, and shall transfer and assign any remaining
insurance proceeds or rights thereto to Purchaser at the Closing. If such damage
is material, Purchaser may elect (in its sole discretion) by notice to Seller
given within ten (10) days after Purchaser is notified of such damage (and the
Closing shall be extended, if necessary, to give Purchaser such ten (10) day
period to respond to such notice) to proceed in the same manner as in the case
of damage that is not material or to terminate this Agreement, in which event
the Earnest Money shall be returned to Purchaser. Damage as to any one or
multiple occurrences is material if the cost to repair the damage, as reasonably
estimated by Seller’s contractor (if Seller has engaged a contractor to perform
the work), and otherwise by a contractor approved by both Purchaser and Seller,
acting reasonably, exceeds $100,000. An affiliate of Seller may be engaged as
Seller’s contractor, provided Seller discloses the relationship of such

respect to the Property, and if necessary the Closing Date shall be extended to
give Purchaser the full ten (10) day period to make such election, Purchaser may
terminate this Agreement, in which event the Earnest Money shall be returned to
Purchaser, or proceed under this Agreement, in which event Seller shall, at the
Closing, assign to Purchaser its entire right, title and interest in and to any
condemnation award, and Purchaser shall have the right during the pendency of
this Agreement to negotiate and otherwise deal with the condemning authority in
respect of such matter.

pursuant hereto, and the Permitted Exceptions, and the Service Contracts, there
are no contracts or agreements of any kind relating to the Property to which
Seller or its agents is a party and which would be binding on Purchaser after
Closing. Copies of Property Information delivered to Purchaser pursuant to
Section 2.1 hereof are or will be true, correct and complete. Seller has
delivered to Purchaser all books, notices, documents and agreements pertaining
to the Property that are in Seller’s possession. To Seller’s knowledge, the

and, except as set forth in this Agreement or in any document executed at
Closing pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement, shall rely solely upon
its own evaluation and investigation of the condition and all aspects of the
Property. Purchaser acknowledges that this Agreement grants to Purchaser the
opportunity to fully evaluate the condition and all aspects of the Property.
Purchaser has asked for, and has obtained in this Agreement, disclosure of
information and documents regarding the Property which is in Seller’s possession
or control. Accordingly, except to the extent that Seller fraudulently or
intentionally conceals or makes misrepresentations as to the condition or
suitability of the Property and except for Seller’s representations and
warranties set forth in this Agreement and the warranties set forth in any
closing documents delivered to Purchaser from Seller, Purchaser acknowledges
that it is not relying upon any representations of Seller as to the condition of
the Property or its suitability for Purchaser’s intended use. Subject to the

warranties set forth in this Article 9 are made as of the Effective Date and are

Agreement shall be deemed valid and operative, and, to the greatest extent
legally possible, effect shall be given to the intent manifested by the portion
held invalid or inoperative. The failure by either party to enforce against the
other any term or provision of this Agreement shall not be deemed to be a waiver
of such party’s right to enforce against the other party the same or any other
such term or provision in the future.

governed, construed, applied, and enforced in accordance with the laws of the

the claim made, on or before the first anniversary of Closing.

10.7. No Third Party Beneficiary. This Agreement is not intended to give or
confer any benefits, rights, privileges, claims, actions, or remedies to any
person or entity as a third party beneficiary, decree, or otherwise.

between the parties and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings
relating to the Property. This Agreement may be amended or supplemented only in

information relating to the Property reviewed by or delivered to Purchaser as
well as the results from all studies, tests and inspections conducted on the

obtaining the written consent of the other party except those disclosures that
are required by law, including the federal securities laws, applicable stock
exchange requirements or contractual obligation (in which case notice shall be
timely provided to the other party of such requirement and disclosure). The
foregoing shall not preclude either party from discussing the substance or any
relevant details of such transactions with any of its attorneys, accountants,
professional consultants, lenders, partners, investors, or any prospective
lender, partner or investor, as the case may be, or prevent either party hereto,
from complying with laws, rules, regulations and court orders, including without
limitation, governmental regulatory, disclosure, tax and reporting requirements,
or from making disclosures in the ordinary course of its due diligence
inspections and contacts with third parties related thereto. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, any party to this transaction (and each employee, agent or
representative of the foregoing) may disclose to any and all persons, without
limitation of any kind, the tax treatment and tax structure of the transaction
and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that
are provided to them relating to such tax treatment and tax structure except to
the extent maintaining such confidentiality is necessary to comply with any
applicable federal or state securities laws. The authorization in the preceding
sentence is not intended to permit disclosure of any other information unrelated
to the tax treatment and tax structure of the transaction including (without
limitation) (i) any portion of the transaction documents or related materials to

the other party; provided, however, that no notice of a change of address shall

has the authority to send notices on behalf of such party.

have reviewed and revised this Agreement and that the normal rule of
construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved against the
