The investment of the Earnest Money Deposit will be at the sole risk of Purchaser and no loss on any investment will relieve Purchaser of its obligations to pay to Seller as liquidated damages the original amount of the Earnest Money Deposit as provided in Article XIII, or of its obligation to pay the Purchase Price.  All interest earned on the Earnest Money Deposit will be the property of Purchaser and will be reported to the Internal Revenue Service as income until such time as Seller is entitled to the Earnest Money Deposit pursuant to this Agreement.  Purchaser will provide the Title Company with a taxpayer identification number and will pay all income taxes due by reason of interest accrued on the Earnest Money Deposit.

INSPECTION OF PROPERTY
Section 5.1    Entry and Inspection.
(a)    From the Effective Date until Closing, Purchaser and its prospective lenders and their respective agents, representatives, contractors and consultants shall have the right to inspect and investigate the Property and shall conduct such tests, evaluations and assessments of the Property as Purchaser deems necessary, appropriate or prudent in any respect and for all purposes in connection with Purchaser’s acquisition of the Property and the consummation of the transaction contemplated by this Agreement.  Subject to the provisions of this Section 5.1 and subject to the obligations set forth in Section 5.3 below, Seller will permit Purchaser and its authorized agents and representatives (collectively, the “Licensee Parties”) the right to enter upon the Real Property and Improvements at all reasonable times, during normal business hours, to perform inspections of the Property and communicate with Tenants and service providers; provided, however, Purchaser shall not have the right to communicate with Tenants unless interviews and communications are coordinated through Seller and Seller shall have the right to participate in any such communications.  Purchaser will provide to Seller written notice of the intention of Purchaser or the other Licensee Parties to enter the Real Property or Improvements at least twenty-four (24) hours prior to such intended entry and specify the intended purpose therefor and the inspections and examinations contemplated to be made.  At Seller’s option, Seller may be present for any such entry, inspection and communication with any Tenants and service providers.  Purchaser shall have the right to conduct a Phase I Environmental Assessment to the extent the same is to be completed by a reputable, bonded and insured consultant licensed in the State in which the Real Property is located carrying the insurance required under Section 5.3 below; provided, however, that no physical or invasive testing or sampling shall be conducted during any such entry by Purchaser or any Licensee Party upon the Real Property without Seller’s specific prior written consent, which consent may be withheld, delayed or conditioned in Seller’s sole and absolute discretion; and provided, further, that prior to giving any such approval, Seller shall be provided with a written sampling plan in reasonable 









detail in order to allow Seller a reasonable opportunity to evaluate such proposal.  If Purchaser or the other Licensee Parties undertake any borings or other disturbances of the soil, the soil shall be recompacted to substantially its condition as existed immediately before any such borings or other disturbances were undertaken.
(b)    Subject to the obligations set forth in Section 5.3 below, the Licensee Parties shall have the right to communicate directly with the Authorities for any good faith reasonable purpose in connection with this transaction contemplated by this Agreement (so long such communications can be conducted without disclosing that a sale of the Property is contemplated); provided, however, Purchaser, except with respect to routine requests for information, shall provide Seller at least twenty-four (24) hours prior written notice of Purchaser’s intention to communicate with any Authorities and Seller shall have the right to participate in any such communications.
Section 5.2    Document Review.
(a)    Seller shall make available, either via electronic virtual data room, by delivery of materials to Purchaser’s representatives, by access to the Title Company’s data room, or by being made available at the office of the Property’s property manager provided the same cannot reasonably be placed in Seller’s electronic virtual data room and Seller identifies the same as available only in the office of the Property’s property manager in a notice delivered to Purchaser prior to the Effective Date, the following, to Purchaser and its authorized agents or representatives for review, inspection, examination, analysis and verification:  (i) all existing environmental reports and studies of the Property issued on behalf of Seller; (ii) assessments (special or otherwise), ad valorem and personal property tax bills, covering the three (3) years preceding the Effective Date; (iii) Seller’s most currently available rent roll (the “Rent Roll”); (iv) Operating Statements and rent rolls for the stub period of the current calendar year plus the prior two calendar years; (v) copies of Tenant Leases, Service Contracts, and Licenses and Permits; (vi) a current inventory of the Personal Property; (vii) to the extent in Seller’s possession or control, engineering, mechanical and other drawings, blueprints and specifications and similar documentation relating to the Property; and (viii) to the extent in Seller’s possession or control, all those other documents and materials described on Exhibit N (collectively, the “Documents”).  Purchaser acknowledges that it has received copies of all the Tenant Leases listed on Exhibit F, and the Service Contracts listed on Exhibit B.  Subject to the limitations set forth in the next sentence and Section 5.2(b), Seller shall reasonably cooperate with Purchaser to provide additional documents or information regarding the Property reasonably requested by Purchaser or Purchaser’s prospective lenders.  “Documents” shall not include (and Seller shall have no obligation to provide written materials requested by Purchaser or its lender that constitute) (1) any document or correspondence which would be subject to the attorney-client privilege; (2) any document or item which Seller is contractually or otherwise bound to keep confidential; (3) any documents pertaining to the marketing of the Property for sale to prospective purchasers, including any separate agreements with Broker; (4) any internal memoranda, reports or assessments of Seller or Seller’s Affiliates to the extent relating to Seller’s valuation of the Property; (5) any appraisals of the Property, whether prepared internally by Seller or Seller’s Affiliates or externally; or (6) any materials projecting or relating to the future performance of the Property.
(b)    Purchaser acknowledges that any and all of the Documents may be proprietary and confidential in nature and shall be made available to Purchaser solely to assist Purchaser in determining the feasibility of purchasing the Property.  Prior to Closing, Purchaser agrees not to disclose the contents of the Documents, or any of the provisions, terms or conditions contained therein, to any party outside of Purchaser’s organization other than its attorneys, partners, 









accountants, consultants, advisors, affiliates, affiliated funds, officers, directors, current and prospective lenders and investors (collectively, for purposes of this Section 5.2(b), the “Permitted Outside Parties”).  Purchaser further acknowledges that the Documents and other information relating to the leasing arrangements between Seller and the Tenants or prospective tenants are proprietary and confidential in nature.  Prior to Closing, Purchaser agrees not to divulge the contents of such Documents and other information except in strict accordance with the confidentiality standards set forth in this Section 5.2 and Section 12.1.  In permitting Purchaser and the Permitted Outside Parties to review the Documents or information to assist Purchaser, 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 by Seller and any such claims are expressly rejected by Seller and waived by Purchaser and the Permitted Outside Parties, for whom, by its execution of this Agreement, Purchaser is acting as an agent with regard to such waiver.  Nothing contained in this Section 5.2(b) will preclude or limit either party to this Agreement from disclosing or accessing any information otherwise deemed confidential under this Section 5.2(b) in connection with that party’s enforcement of its rights following a disagreement hereunder, or in response to a request or requirement by law, regulatory authority, the rules of any national securities exchange or other applicable judicial or governmental order, or otherwise are legally compelled (e.g., by deposition, interrogatory, request for documents, subpoena, civil investigative demand or similar process), lawful process or subpoena or other valid or enforceable order of a court of competent jurisdiction or any filings with governmental authorities required by reason of the transactions provided for herein pursuant to an opinion of counsel; provided, however, in the event such disclosure is required or requested pursuant to a subpoena or court order, the applicable party shall promptly notify the other party thereof to the extent not prohibited by law or an authority so that the other party may seek a protective order, waive compliance with this Section 5.2(b), and/or take any other action mutually agreed upon by the parties and disclosure of information by Purchaser shall not be prohibited if that disclosure is of information that (i) is or becomes a matter of public record or public knowledge from sources other than Purchaser or its agents, employees, contractors, consultants or attorneys in violation of the terms of this Agreement, (ii) is or becomes available to Purchaser on a non-confidential basis from a source other than Seller or its advisors, provided that, to Purchaser’s knowledge, such source was not prohibited from disclosing such information to Purchaser by a legal, contractual or fiduciary obligation owed to Seller; (iii) is already in Purchaser’s possession (other than information furnished by or on behalf of Seller) prior to the Effective Date; or (iv) is or becomes independently developed by Purchaser or any Permitted Outside Party without use of or reference to the Documents.
(c)    Purchaser shall promptly destroy all copies Purchaser has made (and computer files of same) of any Documents containing confidential information before or after the execution of this Agreement, not later than ten (10) Business Days following the time this Agreement is terminated for any reason, and provide Seller with a certified notice of the completion of such destruction.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Purchaser and the Permitted Outside Parties may retain information: (a) stored in standard archival or computer back-up systems or retained pursuant to such person’s normal document retention practices, for litigation and regulatory purposes or to the extent required by law, and/or (b) pursuant to their professional accounting obligations or bona fide document retention policy requirements.
(d)    Purchaser acknowledges that some of the Documents may have been prepared by third parties and may have been prepared prior to Seller’s ownership of the Property.  Purchaser hereby acknowledges that, except as expressly provided in Sections 8.1 and 11.1, Seller has not made and does not make any representation or warranty regarding the truth, accuracy or 









completeness of the Documents or the sources thereof (whether prepared by Seller, Seller’s Affiliates or any other person or entity), and Seller has not undertaken any independent investigation as to the truth, accuracy or completeness of the Documents and is providing the Documents solely as an accommodation to Purchaser.
(e)    Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, no termination of this Agreement will terminate Purchaser’s obligations pursuant to this Section 5.2; however, this Section 5.2 shall not survive and be binding upon Purchaser following the earlier to occur of the Closing or that date which occurs twenty-four (24) months after the Effective Date.
Section 5.3    Entry and Inspection Obligations.
(a)    Purchaser agrees that in entering upon and inspecting or examining the Property and communicating with any Tenants, Purchaser and the other Licensee Parties will take all reasonable steps necessary to not: disturb the Tenants or interfere with their use of the Property pursuant to their respective Tenant Leases; interfere with the operation and maintenance of the Property; damage any part of the Property or any personal property owned or held by any Tenant or any other person or entity; injure or otherwise cause bodily harm to Seller or any Tenant, or to any of their respective agents, guests, invitees, contractors and employees, or to any other person or entity; permit any liens to attach to the Property by reason of the exercise of Purchaser’s rights under this Article V; communicate with the Tenants or service providers except in accordance with this Article V; or prior to Closing, reveal or disclose any information obtained concerning the Property and the Documents to anyone outside Purchaser’s organization and the Permitted Outside Parties, except in accordance with the confidentiality standards set forth in Section 5.2.  Purchaser will: (i) maintain and cause those entering the Property to maintain commercial general liability (occurrence) insurance in an amount not less than Two Million and No/100 Dollars ($2,000,000.00) covering any accident arising in connection with the presence or activities of Purchaser or the other Licensee Parties on the Property, and deliver to Seller a certificate of insurance verifying such coverage and Seller and its property manager (Hines Interests Limited Partnership) being named as an additional insured on such coverage prior to entry upon the Property; (ii) promptly pay when due the costs of all inspections, entries, samplings and tests conducted by Purchaser and/or any Licensee Parties and examinations done with regard to the Property; and (iii) promptly restore the Property to substantially its condition as existed immediately prior to any such inspection, investigations, examinations, entries, samplings and tests.
(b)    Purchaser hereby indemnifies, defends and holds Seller and its members, partners, agents, officers, directors, employees, successors, assigns and Affiliates harmless from and against any and all liens, claims, causes of action, damages, liabilities, demands, suits, and obligations, together with all losses, penalties, actual out-of-pocket costs and expenses relating to any of the foregoing (including but not limited to court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of any inspections, investigations, examinations, entries, samplings or tests conducted by Purchaser or any Licensee Party, whether prior to or after the date hereof, with respect to the Property or any violation of the provisions of this Section 5.3; except to the extent arising due to the negligence or willful misconduct of Seller or Seller’s Affiliates, or their respective members, partners, agents, officers, directors, employees, successors, assigns; provided that the foregoing indemnity shall not apply to any claims, damages or other costs arising by virtue of the mere discovery of any pre-existing condition at the Property in connection with any inspections, investigations, examinations, entries, samplings or tests conducted by Purchaser or any Licensee Party, but only to the extent such parties do not intentionally exacerbate such pre-existing condition.









(c)    Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, neither the Closing nor a termination of this Agreement will terminate Purchaser’s obligations pursuant to this Section 5.3, which shall survive Closing or termination.
Section 5.4    Property Approval Period.  Between the Effective Date and 5:00 p.m. (Pacific time) on the Contingency Date (the “Property Approval Period”) and continuing thereafter, Purchaser shall have the right to review and investigate the Property and the items set forth in Sections 5.1 and 5.2 above (collectively, the “Due Diligence Items”).  Purchaser, in Purchaser’s sole and absolute discretion, may determine whether or not the Property is acceptable to Purchaser within the Property Approval Period.  If Purchaser determines to proceed with the purchase of the Property in accordance with this Agreement, then Purchaser shall, prior to 5:00 p.m. (Pacific time) on the Contingency Date, notify Seller in writing (an “Approval Notice”) that Purchaser has approved the Property and all Due Diligence Items, which determination shall be made by Purchaser in its sole and absolute discretion.  If Purchaser fails to timely deliver an Approval Notice pursuant to the foregoing, the Easement Money Deposit thereupon shall be returned to Purchaser (and Seller shall have no right to object to such return) and this Agreement shall automatically terminate and the Earnest Money Deposit shall thereupon be returned to Purchaser. Purchaser shall pay any cancellation fees or charges of Title Company, and except for Purchaser’s and Seller’s indemnity and confidentiality obligations under this Agreement which expressly survive termination of this Agreement, the parties shall have no further rights or obligations to one another under this Agreement.
Section 5.5    Sale “As Is”.  THE TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT HAS BEEN NEGOTIATED BETWEEN SELLER AND PURCHASER, THIS AGREEMENT REFLECTS THE MUTUAL AGREEMENT OF SELLER AND PURCHASER, AND PURCHASER HAS CONDUCTED (OR WILL CONDUCT PRIOR TO THE EXPIRATION OF THE PROPERTY APPROVAL PERIOD) ITS OWN INDEPENDENT EXAMINATION OF THE PROPERTY.  OTHER THAN ANY SPECIFIC MATTERS REPRESENTED IN SECTIONS 8.1 AND 11.1 HEREOF (AS MAY BE LIMITED HEREIN, INCLUDING BY SECTION 16.1 OF THIS AGREEMENT), PURCHASER HAS NOT RELIED UPON AND WILL NOT RELY UPON, EITHER DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, ANY REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY OF SELLER OR ANY OF SELLER’S AFFILIATES, AGENTS OR REPRESENTATIVES, AND PURCHASER HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGES THAT NO SUCH REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES HAVE BEEN MADE.  SELLER SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMS, AND NEITHER SELLER NOR ANY OF SELLER’S AFFILIATES NOR ANY OTHER PERSON IS MAKING, ANY REPRESENTATION, WARRANTY OR ASSURANCE WHATSOEVER TO PURCHASER AND, EXCEPT AS SET FORTH IN SECTIONS 8.1 AND 11.1 HEREOF, NO WARRANTIES OR REPRESENTATIONS OF ANY KIND OR CHARACTER, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, ARE MADE BY SELLER OR RELIED UPON BY PURCHASER WITH RESPECT TO THE STATUS OF TITLE TO OR THE MAINTENANCE, REPAIR, CONDITION, DESIGN OR MARKETABILITY OF THE PROPERTY, OR ANY PORTION THEREOF, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO (A) ANY IMPLIED OR EXPRESS WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, (B) ANY IMPLIED OR EXPRESS WARRANTY OF FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, (C) ANY IMPLIED OR EXPRESS WARRANTY OF CONFORMITY TO MODELS OR SAMPLES OF MATERIALS, (D) ANY RIGHTS OF PURCHASER UNDER APPROPRIATE STATUTES TO CLAIM DIMINUTION OF CONSIDERATION, (E) ANY CLAIM BY PURCHASER FOR DAMAGES BECAUSE OF DEFECTS, WHETHER KNOWN, OR UNKNOWN, OR LATENT, WITH RESPECT TO ANY 









REAL PROPERTY, IMPROVEMENTS OR THE PERSONAL PROPERTY, (F) THE FINANCIAL CONDITION OR PROSPECTS OF THE PROPERTY OR THE TENANTS AND (G) THE COMPLIANCE OR LACK THEREOF OF ANY REAL PROPERTY OR THE IMPROVEMENTS WITH GOVERNMENTAL REGULATIONS, IT BEING THE EXPRESS INTENTION OF SELLER AND PURCHASER THAT, EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH TO THE CONTRARY IN SECTIONS 8.1 AND 11.1 HEREOF (AS LIMITED BY SECTION 16.1 OF THIS AGREEMENT), THE PROPERTY WILL BE CONVEYED AND TRANSFERRED TO PURCHASER IN ITS PRESENT CONDITION AND STATE OF REPAIR, “AS IS” AND “WHERE IS”, WITH ALL FAULTS.  Purchaser represents that it is a knowledgeable, experienced and sophisticated purchaser of real estate, and that, except as set forth in Sections 8.1 and 11.1, as limited by Section 16.1 of this Agreement, it is relying solely on its own expertise and that of Purchaser’s consultants in purchasing the Property.  Upon expiration of the Property Approval Period, Purchaser shall be deemed to have conducted such inspections, investigations and other independent examinations of the Property and related matters as Purchaser deems necessary, including but not limited to the physical and environmental conditions thereof, and will rely upon same and not upon any statements of Seller (excluding the limited specific matters represented by Seller in Sections 8.1 and 11.1, as limited by Section 16.1 of this Agreement) or of any Affiliate, officer, director, employee, agent or attorney of Seller.  Purchaser acknowledges that all information obtained by Purchaser was obtained from a variety of sources and, except as set forth in Sections 8.1 and 11.1, as limited by Section 16.1 of this Agreement, Seller will not be deemed to have represented or warranted the completeness, truth or accuracy of any of the Documents or other such information heretofore or hereafter furnished to Purchaser.  Upon Closing, except for the limited specific matters represented by Seller in Sections 8.1 and 11.1, as limited by Section 16.1 of this Agreement, Purchaser will assume the risk that adverse matters, including, but not limited to, adverse physical and environmental conditions, may not have been revealed by Purchaser’s inspections and investigations.  Purchaser further hereby assumes the risk of changes in applicable Environmental Laws relating to past, present and future environmental health conditions on, or resulting from the ownership or operation of, the Property.  Except for the limited specific matters represented by Seller in Sections 8.1 and 11.1, as limited by Section 16.1 of this Agreement, Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that upon Closing, Seller will sell and convey to Purchaser, and Purchaser will accept the Property, “AS IS, WHERE IS,” with all faults.  Purchaser further acknowledges and agrees that there are no oral agreements, warranties or representations, collateral to or affecting the Property, by Seller, an Affiliate of Seller, any agent of Seller or any third party.  Seller is not liable or bound in any manner by any oral or written statements, representations or information pertaining to the Property furnished by any real estate broker, agent, employee, servant or other person, unless the same are specifically set forth or referred to herein.  Purchaser acknowledges that the Purchase Price reflects the “AS IS, WHERE IS” nature of this sale and any faults, liabilities, defects or other adverse matters that may be associated with the Property.  Purchaser, with Purchaser’s counsel, has fully reviewed the disclaimers and waivers set forth in this Agreement, and understands the significance and effect thereof.  Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that the disclaimers and other agreements set forth herein are an integral part of this Agreement, and that Seller would not have agreed to sell the Property to Purchaser for the Purchase Price without the disclaimer and other agreements set forth in this Agreement.  The terms and conditions of this Section 5.5 will expressly survive the Closing and will not merge with the provisions of any closing documents.









Section 5.6    Purchaser’s Release of Seller.
(a)    Seller Released From Liability.  Effective as of the Closing, except as otherwise provide in this Agreement, Purchaser, on behalf of itself and its partners, officers, directors, agents, controlling persons and Affiliates, hereby releases Seller and Seller’s Affiliates and their respective partners, members, owners, officers, directors, agents, representatives and controlling persons (collectively, the “Seller Released Parties”) from any and all liability, responsibility, penalties, fines, suits, demands, actions, losses, damages, expenses, causes of action, proceedings, judgments, executions, costs of any kind or nature whatsoever and claims (collectively, “Claims”) arising out of or related to any matter or any nature relating to the Property or its physical condition (including, without limitation, the presence in the soil, soil gas, air, structures and surface and subsurface waters, of any Hazardous Substances or any chemical, material or substance that may in the future be determined to be toxic, hazardous, undesirable or subject to regulation and/or that may need to be specially treated, handled and/or removed from the Property under current or future federal, state and local laws, regulations or guidelines, any latent or patent construction defects, errors or omissions, compliance with law matters, any statutory or common law right Purchaser may have for property damage Claims, bodily injury Claims, contribution or cost recovery Claims or any other Claims under Environmental Laws and/or to receive disclosures from Seller, including, without limitation, any disclosures as to the Property’s location within areas designated as subject to flooding, fire, seismic or earthquake risks by any federal, state or local entity, the need to obtain flood insurance, the certification of water heater bracing and/or the advisability of obtaining title insurance, or any other condition or circumstance affecting the Property, its financial viability, use of operation, or any portion thereof), valuation, salability or utility of the Property, or its suitability for any purpose.  Without limiting the foregoing, Purchaser specifically releases Seller and the Seller Released Parties from any claims Purchaser may have against Seller and/or the other Seller Released Parties now or in the future arising from the environmental condition of the Property or the presence of Hazardous Substances or contamination on or emanating from the Property, including any rights of contribution or indemnity.  The foregoing waivers and releases by Purchaser shall survive either (i) the Closing and shall not be deemed merged into the provisions of any closing documents, or (ii) any termination of this Agreement.
(b)    Purchaser’s Waiver of Objections.  Subject to the express representations, warranties and covenants of Seller set forth in Section 8.1 of this Agreement, as limited by Section 16.1 of this Agreement, Purchaser acknowledges that it has (or shall have prior to the expiration of the Property Approval Period) inspected the Property, observed its physical characteristics and existing conditions and had the opportunity to conduct such investigations and studies on and off said Property and adjacent areas as it deems or deemed necessary, and Purchaser hereby waives any and all objections to or complaints (including but not limited to actions based on federal, state or common law and any private right of action under CERCLA, RCRA or any other state and federal law to which the Property are or may be subject, including any rights of contribution or indemnity) against Seller, its Affiliates, or their respective officers, directors, partners, members, owners, employees or agents regarding physical characteristics and existing conditions, including without limitation structural and geologic conditions, subsurface soil and water conditions and solid and hazardous waste and Hazardous Substances on, under, adjacent to or otherwise affecting the Property or related to prior uses of the Property.
(c)    Purchaser Assumes Risks of Change in Laws.  Subject to the express representations, warranties and covenants of Seller set forth in Section 8.1 of this Agreement, as limited by Section 16.1 of this Agreement, Purchaser further hereby assumes the risk of changes in 









applicable laws and regulations relating to past, present and future environmental, safety or health conditions on, or resulting from the ownership or operation of, the Property, and the risk that adverse physical characteristics and conditions, including without limitation the presence of Hazardous Substances or other substances, may not be revealed by its investigation.
(d)    Flood Hazard Zone.  Purchaser acknowledges that if the Real Property is located in an area which the Secretary of the Department of Housing and Urban Development has found to have special flood hazards, then pursuant to the National Flood Insurance Program, Purchaser will be required to purchase flood insurance in order to obtain a loan secured by the Real Property from a federally regulated financial institution or a loan insured or guaranteed by an agency of the United State government.  Seller shall have no responsibility to determine whether the Real Property is located in an area which is subject to the National Flood Insurance Program.
(e)    Survival.  The provisions of this Section 5.6 shall survive either (i) the Closing and shall not be deemed merged into the provisions of any Closing Documents, or (ii) any termination of this Agreement.
(f)    Limitations.  Nothing set forth in Sections 5.5 and 5.6 above shall release Seller (i) to the extent of any fraud perpetrated by Seller or its Affiliates (or their respective officers, directors, members, agents, representatives or employees), or (ii) from any obligation of Seller which expressly survives the Closing or termination of this Agreement, subject to any limitations set forth in Section 16.1 hereof.
ARTICLE VI     
TITLE AND SURVEY MATTERS
Section 6.1    Survey.  Prior to the execution and delivery of this Agreement, Seller has, at its own cost, delivered to Purchaser a copy of that certain survey of the Real Property, dated September 12, 2016, prepared by Bush, Roed & Hitchings, Inc. (the “Updated Survey”).  Seller shall have no obligations to obtain any modification, update, or recertification of the Updated Survey.  Seller and Purchaser acknowledge that Purchaser has caused the Updated Survey to be updated to a last revision date of October 24, 2016 and such update, and any other modification, update or recertification of the Updated Survey has been obtained by Purchaser at its sole cost and expense.
Section 6.2    Title and Survey Review.
(a)    Prior to the execution and delivery hereof, Purchaser has caused the Title Company to furnish or otherwise make available to Purchaser a preliminary title commitment for the Real Property dated with an effective date of August 16, 2016 (the “PTR”), and copies of all underlying title documents described in the PTR.  Purchaser shall have until November 5, 2016 (the “Title Notice Date”) to provide written notice (the “Title Notice”) to Seller of any matters shown on the PTR and/or the Updated Survey which are not satisfactory to Purchaser.  If Purchaser has not delivered such written notice to Seller by the Title Notice Date, Purchaser shall be deemed to have unconditionally approved of the condition of title to the Real Property and Improvements and the Updated Survey, subject to Seller’s obligations set forth in Section 6.2(c) below.  Except as expressly provided herein, Seller shall have no obligation whatsoever to expend or agree to expend any funds, to undertake or agree to undertake any obligations, or otherwise to cure or agree to cure any title objections.  To the extent Purchaser timely delivers a Title Notice, then Seller shall deliver, no later than the date which is two (2) Business Days following delivery to Seller of the 









Title Notice, written notice to Purchaser and Title Company identifying which disapproved items, if any, Seller shall undertake to cure (by either having the same removed or by obtaining affirmative insurance over the same as part of the final Title Policy in form approved by Purchaser) (“Seller’s Response”).  If Seller delivers Seller’s Response electing to cure any title objections identified in the Title Notice, then Seller shall cure such objections identified in Purchaser’s notification prior to the Closing Date.  If Seller does not deliver Seller’s Response prior to such date, Seller shall be deemed to have elected to not remove or otherwise cure any exceptions disapproved by Purchaser.  If Seller elects, or is deemed to have elected, not to remove or otherwise cure an exception disapproved in Purchaser’s Title Notice, Purchaser shall have until the Contingency Date to (i) deliver a written notice terminating this Agreement (“Termination Notice”) to Seller, or (ii) waive any such objection to the PTR and the Updated Survey (whereupon such objections shall be deemed Permitted Exceptions for all purposes hereof).  If Purchaser does not deliver to Seller a Termination Notice by the Contingency Date, such failure shall be deemed Purchaser’s waiver of all such objections to the PTR and the Updated Survey.
(b)    Purchaser may, at or prior to Closing, notify Seller in writing (the “Gap Notice”) of any objections to title (i) raised by the Title Company between the Effective Date and the Closing, (ii) not disclosed in writing by the Title Company to Purchaser prior to the Effective Date, and (iii) not disclosed in writing by Seller to Purchaser and the Title Company prior to the expiration of the Property Approval Period (“New Exceptions”); provided that Purchaser must notify Seller of any objection to any such New Exception prior to the date which is three (3) Business Days after such New Exception is disclosed to Purchaser in writing (and, if necessary, Purchaser may extend the Closing Date to provide for such three (3) Business Day period).  If Purchaser fails to deliver to Seller a notice of objections on or before such date, Purchaser will be deemed to have waived any objection to the New Exceptions, and the New Exceptions will be included as Permitted Exceptions.  Seller will have three (3) Business Days from the receipt of Purchaser’s notice (and, if necessary, Seller may extend the Closing Date to provide for such three (3) Business Day period and for three (3) Business Days following such period for Purchaser’s response), within which time Seller may, but is under no obligation to, remove or otherwise obtain affirmative insurance over the objectionable New Exceptions, or commit to remove or otherwise obtain affirmative insurance over the same, in form reasonably acceptable to Purchaser at or prior to Closing.  If, within the three (3) Business Day period, Seller does not remove or otherwise obtain such affirmative insurance over the objectionable New Exceptions, then Purchaser may terminate this Agreement upon delivering a written notice to Seller and Title Company no later than three (3) Business Days following expiration of the three (3) Business Day cure period (and, if necessary, Purchaser may extend the Closing Date to provide for such three (3) Business Day period), in which case Purchaser shall be entitled to return of the Earnest Money Deposit.  If Purchaser fails to terminate this Agreement in the manner set forth above, the New Exceptions (except those Seller has removed or otherwise affirmatively insured over in form reasonably acceptable to Purchaser, or committed to do the same as set forth above) will be included as Permitted Exceptions.

ARTICLE VII     
INTERIM OPERATING COVENANTS AND ESTOPPELS
Section 7.1    Interim Operating Covenants.  Seller covenants to Purchaser, that Seller will:
(a)    Operations.  From the Effective Date until Closing, continue to operate, manage and maintain the Improvements in the ordinary course of Seller’s business and substantially in accordance with Seller’s present practice, subject to ordinary wear and tear and Article IX of this Agreement.  In connection therewith, Seller shall comply with all of Seller’s obligations under the Tenant Leases, the Service Contracts and the Licenses and Permits through Closing.
(b)    Maintain Insurance.  From the Effective Date until Closing, maintain fire and extended coverage insurance on the Improvements which is at least equivalent in all material respects to Seller’s insurance policies covering the Improvements as of the Effective Date.
(c)    Personal Property.  From the Effective Date until Closing, not transfer or remove any Personal Property from the Improvements except for the purpose of repair or replacement thereof.  Any items of Personal Property replaced after the Effective Date will be installed prior to Closing and will be of substantially similar quality of the item of Personal Property being replaced.
(d)    Leases.  From the Effective Date until Closing, not, and not permit Hines TRS to, enter into any new lease, license, occupancy agreement or similar agreement or any amendments, expansions or renewals of Tenant Leases or Hines TRS Agreements, or terminate any Tenant Lease or any Hines TRS Agreements, or consent to any sublease, sublicense or similar agreement, without the prior written consent of Purchaser, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned prior to the Contingency Date, but which may be withheld in Purchaser’s sole discretion following the Contingency Date.  Furthermore, nothing herein shall be 









deemed to require Purchaser’s consent to any expansion or renewal which Seller, as landlord, is required to honor pursuant to any Tenant Lease or any Hines TRS Agreements.  Seller shall not, and not permit Hines TRS to, accept any rent from any tenant under any Tenant Lease or any Hines TRS Agreements (or any new tenant under any new Tenant Lease to which Purchaser has consented) for more than one (1) month in advance of the payment date provided for in such Tenant Lease or Hines TRS Agreements without Purchaser’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed prior to the Contingency Date, but which may be withheld in Purchaser’s sole discretion following the Contingency Date).
(e)    Service Contracts.  From the Effective Date until Closing, not, and not permit Hines TRS to, enter into, or renew the term of, any property management agreement, service agreement, maintenance contract, equipment lease agreement or other contract for the provision of services, materials or supplies other than in the ordinary course of business, unless such contract or agreement is terminable on thirty (30) days (or less) prior notice without penalty or unless Purchaser consents thereto in writing, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned (unless such contract or agreement cannot be terminated on thirty (30) days (or less) prior notice without payment of penalty, in which case, Purchaser may withhold its consent in Purchaser’s sole and absolute discretion).  Seller shall, at Seller’s sole cost and expense, cause all property management agreements applicable to the Property (other than any new property management agreement entered into between Seller’s property manager Affiliate and Purchaser or its Affiliates) to be terminated as of the Closing.  Any Service Contract which is not approved by Purchaser in writing to Seller on or prior to the Contingency Date shall be terminated by Seller, without cost or liability to Purchaser, on or prior to the Closing Date and such disapproved Service Contract shall no longer be a Service Contract for purposes of this Agreement.
(f)    Notices.  To the extent received by Seller, from the Effective Date until Closing, (i) promptly deliver to Purchaser copies of written default notices, notices of lawsuits, notices of violations or other material notices affecting the Property and (ii) promptly notify Purchaser of any event or circumstance of which Seller has knowledge subsequent to the Effective Date which (a) materially, adversely affects the Property or any portion thereof or the use or operation of the Property or any portion thereof, or (b) makes any representation or warranty of Seller to Purchaser under this Agreement untrue or misleading in any material respect.
(g)    Encumbrances.  Without Purchaser’s prior approval in its sole discretion, Seller shall not subject the Property to any additional liens, encumbrances, covenants or easements.
(h)    Comply with Governmental Regulations.  From the Effective Date until Closing, not knowingly take or fail to take any action that would result in a failure to comply in all material respects with all Governmental Regulations applicable to the Property, it being understood and agreed that prior to Closing, Seller will have the right to contest any such Governmental Regulations.

From the Effective Date until Closing (or earlier termination of this Agreement), (i) remove the Property from the market and cease and refrain from any and all negotiations with any other prospective purchasers of the Property and (ii) advise Purchaser of any negotiations with current or potential tenants at the Property.
(j)    Litigation.  Not allow to be commenced on its behalf any action, suit or proceeding with respect to all or any portion of the Property without Purchaser’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned prior to the 









Contingency Date, but which may be withheld in Purchaser’s sole and absolute discretion following the Contingency Date).
(k)    Cooperation.  Deliver subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreements and other agreements requested by Purchaser’s lenders to the Tenants and follow up with Tenants regarding the execution and delivery thereof (provided that obtaining any such subordination, non-disturbance or attornment agreements or other agreements shall in no event be a condition to Closing).  Nothing set forth in this Agreement shall create (or be deemed to create) a condition to Closing that Purchaser have obtained financing for the acquisition of the Property prior to or at Closing.
(l)    Suite 250.  Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to complete the extension of the Tenant Lease with respect to the Tenant in Suite 250 in KOMO Plaza West on terms reflected in the First Amendment to Lease attached hereto as Exhibit O (such terms, the “Suite 250 Extension Terms”, and such extension, the “Suite 250 Extension”) prior to Closing; provided, however, that the failure to obtain the Suite 250 Extension shall not be a condition to Closing.  Seller and Purchaser acknowledge and agree that the version of the First Amendment to Lease attached as Exhibit O has not been finally agreed upon or approved by the Tenant in Suite 250.  However, any changes to such version of the First Amendment to Lease are subject to approval by Purchaser prior to execution of the First Amendment to Lease by Seller.  If the Suite 250 Extension is not completed prior to Closing, at Closing Seller shall escrow two million five hundred thousand dollars ($2,500,000) (the “Suite 250 Escrow Amount”) with the Title Company.  Seller or its agents (as reasonably agreed to by Purchaser) shall have the right to continue to pursue the Suite 250 Extension following Closing, provided that Purchaser shall have the right to approve any changes in the Suite 250 Extension Terms and all other terms proposed by Seller for the Suite 250 Extension.  In the event the Suite 250 Extension is executed within six (6) months after the Closing Date (Purchaser hereby agreeing to execute the Suite 250 Extension once finally approved by Purchaser), a portion of the Suite 250 Escrow Amount sufficient to pay the sum of (i) any tenant improvement allowances, leasing commissions for which Purchaser did not receive a credit at Closing or other concessions and costs related to the Suite 250 Extension, if any and (ii) the difference between (x) the in-place revenues received or to be received by Purchaser from the Property from the Closing Date to the date of execution of the Suite 250 Extension and (y) the revenues that would have been received by Purchaser from the Property from the Closing Date to the date of execution of the Suite 250 Extension had the Suite 250 Extension been executed prior to or at Closing (the “Suite 250 Extension Payment”), shall be paid to Purchaser from the Suite 250 Escrow Amount, and the balance of the Suite 250 Escrow Amount shall be paid to Seller.  If the Suite 250 Extension has not been executed within such six (6) month period, then the Suite 250 Escrow Amount shall be paid to Purchaser.
(m)    Consents.  Following Purchaser’s delivery to Seller of Purchaser’s request for the same from time-to-time, Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain consents required for the assignment of Seller’s interest in and to the Personal Property, the Intangible Personal Property and the Licenses and Permits.
Whenever in this Section 7.1 Seller is required to obtain Purchaser’s approval with respect to any transaction described therein, Purchaser shall, within five (5) Business Days after receipt of Seller’s request therefor, notify Seller of its approval or disapproval of same and, if Purchaser fails to notify Seller of its approval within said five (5) Business Day period, Purchaser shall be deemed to have approved same.  The covenants set forth in this Section 7.1 shall not survive the Closing, but any claims against Seller for any breach by Seller of the covenants set forth in this 









Section 7.1 occurring prior to the Closing shall survive the Closing (subject to the limitations set forth in Section 16.1 below).
Section 7.2    Tenant Lease Estoppels.
(a)    It will be a condition to Closing that Seller obtains and delivers to Purchaser executed Acceptable Estoppel Certificates from each of the tenants listed on Exhibit C-1 (“Major Tenants”), and from such other Tenants leasing space at the Improvements, which when added to the Major Tenants aggregates at least seventy-five percent (75%) of the rentable square footage leased at the Improvements.  Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) obtain an Acceptable Estoppel Certificate from Tenant in Suite 250 in KOMO Plaza West and (ii) cause the guarantor of the Tenant Lease with Tierpoint to execute the Acceptable Estoppel Certificate with respect to such Tenant Lease, but such instruments shall not be required as a condition to Closing.  “Acceptable Estoppel Certificates” are estoppel certificates in the form of the estoppel certificate attached hereto as Exhibit C-2, which shall have all blanks completed and exhibits thereto attached and shall not contain any material modifications or inconsistencies with respect to the Rent Roll and the Tenant Leases and which shall not disclose any alleged material default or unfulfilled material obligation on the part of the landlord not previously disclosed in writing to Purchaser prior to the Effective Date; provided that an estoppel certificate executed by a Tenant in the form prescribed by its Tenant Lease shall constitute an Acceptable Estoppel Certificate if it is otherwise consistent with this Section 7.2 and the subject Lease.  Seller shall use good faith efforts to obtain Acceptable Estoppel Certificates as soon as practicable.  Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, in no event shall Seller’s failure to obtain the required number of Acceptable Estoppel Certificates in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7.2 constitute a default by Seller under this Agreement.  Purchaser’s sole and exclusive remedy for a failure of the condition to obtain the required number of Acceptable Estoppel Certificates shall be to terminate this Agreement and receive a refund of the Earnest Money Deposit.  Prior to delivery of the forms of estoppel certificates to the Major Tenants (but not any other Tenants), Seller will deliver to Purchaser completed forms of estoppel certificates, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C-2 and containing the information contemplated thereby for all Tenants.  Within two (2) Business Days following Purchaser’s receipt thereof, Purchaser will send to Seller notice either (i) approving such forms as completed by Seller or (ii) setting forth in detail all changes to such forms which Purchaser reasonably believes to be appropriate to make the completed forms of estoppel certificates accurate and complete.  Seller will make such changes to the extent Seller agrees such changes are appropriate, except that Seller will not be obligated to make any changes which request more expansive information than is contemplated by Exhibit C-2 or the form required by the applicable Major Tenant Tenant Lease.  Purchaser’s failure to respond within such two (2) Business Day period shall be deemed approval of such estoppel certificate.  Seller shall deliver to Purchaser all executed estoppel certificates within two (2) Business Days after Seller’s receipt of the same.
(b)    Seller, at its sole option, may elect to satisfy part of the requirements under Section 7.2(a) by delivering a representation certificate of Seller in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C-3 (a “Seller Certificate”) for up to ten percent (10%) of the rentable area at the Improvements, but not for any Major Tenant, any such Seller Certificate constituting an Acceptable Estoppel Certificate.  The statements made by Seller shall be deemed to be representations and warranties of Seller regarding the Property for purposes of Section 8.1, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 16.1.  If Seller subsequently obtains an estoppel certificate meeting the requirements of Section 7.2(a) hereof from a Tenant for which Seller has delivered Seller Certificate, 









the delivered Seller Certificate will be null and void, and Purchaser will accept such estoppel certificate in its place.
(c)    Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain an estoppel certificate in the form of Exhibit C-4 attached hereto (the “Conduit Easement Estoppel Certificates”), from The City of Seattle with respect to that Easement Agreement for Telecommunications Conduit dated February 15, 2001, as amended, between the City of Seattle and Fisher Communications Inc. (the “Conduit Easement Agreement”).  Seller shall forward to Purchaser such executed estoppel certificate within two (2) Business Days after Seller’s receipt of the same, provided, however, in no event shall receipt of such Conduit Easement Estoppel Certificate be a condition to Closing.  Seller shall also use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain (i) the unconditional written consent of The City of Seattle to the assignment by Sinclair Television of Seattle, Inc. (formerly known as Fisher Communications Inc.) of its interest in the Conduit Easement Agreement to Seller, and (ii) the unconditional written consent of The City of Seattle to the assignment by Seller of its interest in the Conduit Easement Agreement to Purchaser.  In no event shall receipt of the consent described in the preceding sentence be a condition to Closing.  If such consent is not obtained prior to Closing, Seller shall cooperate with Purchaser to continue to pursue such consent following Closing.
Section 7.3    OFAC.  Pursuant to United States Presidential Executive Order 13224 (“Executive Order”), Seller is required to ensure that it does not transact business with persons or entities determined to have committed, or to pose a risk of committing or supporting, terrorist acts and those persons (i) described in Section 1 of the Executive Order or (ii) listed in the “Alphabetical Listing of Blocked Persons, Specially Designated Nationals, Specially Designated Terrorists, Specially Designated Global Terrorists, Foreign Terrorist Organizations, and Specially Designated Narcotics Traffickers” published by the United States Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”), 31 C.F.R. Chapter V, Appendix A, as in effect from time to time (as to (i) and (ii), a “Blocked Person”).  If, prior to Closing, Seller learns that Purchaser is, becomes, or appears to be a Blocked Person, Seller may delay the sale contemplated by this Agreement pending its conclusion of its investigation into the matter of Purchaser’s status as a Blocked Person.  If, prior to Closing, Seller determines that Purchaser is or becomes a Blocked Person, Seller shall have the right to immediately terminate this Agreement and take all other actions necessary, or in the opinion of Seller, appropriate to comply with applicable law and Purchaser shall receive a return of the Earnest Money Deposit.  The provisions of this Section 7.3 will survive termination of this Agreement.

Section 9.1    Significant Casualty.  If, prior to the Closing Date, all or any portion of the Property is damaged (which for purposes of this Article IX shall include damage by fire or other casualty and the occurrence of any human error or other circumstance which would allow a Tenant(s) of the Property to terminate its Tenant Lease(s) or which would allow a Tenant(s) of the Property an abatement, or credit against rent, or other amounts payable under its Tenant Lease(s)), Seller will notify Purchaser of such damage within two (2) Business Days of the occurrence of the same, which notice shall identify (i) whether the subject damage is to a Significant Portion of the Property, (ii) if so, the reason such damage is to a Significant Portion of the Property, (iii) the uninsured or underinsured amount of the abatement of, or credit against, rent and other amounts payable under Tenant Lease(s) to which Tenant(s) are entitled, and (iv) the uninsured or underinsured amount of costs to repair the subject damage.  Purchaser will have the option, in the event all or any Significant Portion of the Property is so damaged to terminate this Agreement upon notice to Seller given not later than ten (10) Business Days after receipt of Seller’s notice described above.  In addition, Purchaser will have the option, in the event of an uninsured or underinsured (other than by reason of the applicable deductible to be credited against the Purchase Price, as provided below) damage to terminate this Agreement upon notice to Seller given not later than ten (10) Business Days after receipt of Seller’s notice described above; provided, Seller may elect within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of Purchaser’s notice described in the preceding sentence to elect to provide Purchaser a credit against the Purchase Price equal to the sum of (i) the cost of repairing the uninsured damage or the underinsured portion of the cost of repairing the underinsured damage, as applicable, and (ii) all rental abatement and/or credits to which Tenants may be entitled under their Tenant Leases in connection with the subject damage, as mutually agreed upon by Purchaser and Seller, to the extent not payable to Purchaser pursuant to Seller’s insurance proceeds assigned to Purchaser at Closing, in which case, this Agreement shall not terminate, and such credit shall be applied to the Purchase Price at Closing.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall not have the right described in the proviso of the preceding sentence if (x) such uninsured or underinsured amount is greater than or equal to the cost to repair the subject damage amount set forth in clause (B)(i) of the definition of Significant Portion or (y) such uninsured or underinsured damage would allow a Tenant(s) of the Property paying six hundred thousand dollars ($600,000) or more in gross rent per year, in the aggregate, to terminate its Tenant Lease(s) or (z) such uninsured or underinsured amount of rent abatements and other credits against rent to which Tenant(s) are entitled is greater than or equal to the amount set forth in clause (A)(ii) of the definition of Significant Portion.  If this Agreement is terminated, the Earnest Money Deposit will be returned to Purchaser within three (3) Business Days and thereafter neither

If this Agreement is not terminated by Purchaser, Seller will not be obligated to repair such damage, but (a) Seller will assign and turn over to Purchaser all of the insurance proceeds net of reasonable collection costs (or, if such have not been awarded, all of its right, title and interest therein) payable with respect to such damage (excluding any proceeds of insurance that are payable on account of any business interruption, rental insurance or similar coverage intended to compensate Seller for loss of rental or other income from the Property attributable to periods prior to the Closing, but including any such proceeds attributable to periods following the Closing), which obligation shall survive the Closing, and (b) the parties will proceed to Closing pursuant to the terms hereof without abatement of the Purchase Price, except that Purchaser will receive a credit against cash due at Closing for the sum of (i) the amount of the deductible on such insurance policy less any reasonable amounts expended by Seller to collect any such insurance proceeds or to make such repairs or to remedy any unsafe conditions at the Property, and (ii) the amount of any uninsured cost to repair the subject damage, provided that if such uninsured amount is greater than or equal to the amount set forth in clause (B)(i) of the definition of Significant Portion, Seller shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by delivering notice to Purchaser within three (3) Business Days after Purchaser has elected not to terminate this Agreement in accordance with this Section 9.1, and (iii) all rental abatement and/or credits to which Tenants may be entitled under their Tenant Leases in connection with the subject event, as mutually agreed upon by Purchaser and Seller, to the extent not payable to Purchaser pursuant to Seller’s insurance proceeds assigned to Purchaser at Closing, provided that if the subject event rental abatement and/or credits to which Tenants may be entitled under their Tenant Leases exceeds the amount of Seller’s insurance proceeds for the same by more than the amount set forth in clause (A)(ii) of the definition of Significant Portion, then Seller shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by delivering notice to Purchaser within three (3) Business Days after Purchaser has elected not to terminate this Agreement in accordance with this Section 9.1.  If Purchaser does not elect to terminate this Agreement by reason of any damage, Purchaser shall have the right to participate in any adjustment of the insurance claim and Seller shall not compromise, settle or adjust any such claim without Purchaser’s prior written consent (which consent may be withheld in Purchaser’s sole and absolute discretion following the Contingency Date).
Section 9.2    Casualty of Less Than a Significant Portion.  If less than a Significant Portion of the Property is damaged as aforesaid, neither Purchaser nor Seller shall have the right to terminate this Agreement and Seller will not be obligated to repair such damage, but (a) Seller will assign and turn over to Purchaser all of the insurance proceeds net of reasonable collection costs (or, if such have not been awarded, all of its right, title and interest therein) payable with respect to such damage (excluding any proceeds of insurance that are payable on account of any business interruption, rental insurance or similar coverage intended to compensate Seller for loss of rental or other income from the Property attributable to periods prior to the Closing, but including any such proceeds attributable to periods following the Closing), which obligation shall survive the Closing, and (b) the parties will proceed to Closing pursuant to the terms hereof without abatement of the Purchase Price, except that Purchaser will receive a credit against cash due at Closing for the sum of (i) the amount of the deductible on such insurance policy less any reasonable amounts expended by Seller to collect any such insurance proceeds or to make such repairs or to remedy any unsafe conditions at the Property, other than repairs which are the responsibility of Tenants under Tenant Leases as mutually agreed by Seller and Purchaser, (ii) the amount of any underinsured and uninsured costs to repair the subject damage and (iii) all rental abatement and/or credits to which Tenants may be entitled 









under their Tenant Leases in connection with the subject damage, as mutually agreed upon by Purchaser and Seller, to the extent not payable to Purchaser pursuant to Seller’s insurance proceeds assigned to Purchaser at Closing.  If Purchaser does not elect to terminate this Agreement by reason of any damage, Purchaser shall have the right to participate in any adjustment of the insurance claim and Seller shall not compromise, settle or adjust any such claim without Purchaser’s prior written consent (which consent may be withheld in Purchaser’s sole and absolute discretion following the Contingency Date).
Section 9.3    Condemnation of Property.  In the event of condemnation or sale in lieu of condemnation of all or any Significant Portion of the Real Property and the Improvements, or if Seller shall receive an official notice from any governmental authority having eminent domain power over a Property and the Improvements thereon of its intention to take, by eminent domain proceeding, all or any Significant Portion of the Real Property and Improvements, prior to the Closing, Purchaser will have the option, by providing Seller written notice within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of Seller’s notice of such condemnation or sale, of terminating Purchaser’s obligations under this Agreement or electing to have this Agreement remain in full force and effect.  In the event Purchaser does not terminate this Agreement pursuant to the preceding sentence, the Seller will assign to Purchaser any and all claims for the proceeds of such condemnation or sale to the extent the same are applicable to the Property, which obligation shall survive the Closing, and Purchaser will take title to the Property with the assignment of such proceeds and subject to such condemnation and without reduction of the Purchase Price.  Should Purchaser elect to terminate Purchaser’s obligations under this Agreement under the provisions of this Section 9.3, the Earnest Money Deposit will be returned to Purchaser within three (3) Business Days and neither Seller nor Purchaser will have any further obligation under this Agreement except for the Termination Surviving Obligations.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if any eminent domain or condemnation proceeding is instituted (or notice of same is given) solely for the taking of any subsurface rights for utility easements or for any right-of-way easement, and the surface may, after such taking, be used in substantially the same manner as though such rights have not been taken, Purchaser will not be entitled to terminate this Agreement as to any part of the applicable Property, but any award resulting therefrom will be assigned to Purchaser at Closing and will be the exclusive property of Purchaser upon Closing.  If Purchaser does not elect to terminate this Agreement by reason of any such eminent domain or condemnation proceeding, Seller shall not compromise, settle or adjust any award without Purchaser’s prior written consent (which consent may be withheld in Purchaser’s sole and absolute discretion following the Contingency Date).

With respect to those Tenant Leases for which Seller or its lender are holding letters of credit as security deposits, Seller shall deliver such original letters of credit to Purchaser at Closing, together with all necessary transfer documentation, so that Purchaser and the applicable Tenants can arrange to have the letters of credit reissued in favor of, or endorsed to, Purchaser.  Seller agrees to cooperate with Purchaser post-Closing in connection with the reissuance or endorsement of any letters of credit and act at the reasonable discretion of Purchaser with respect thereto, until the letters of credit are re-issued or endorsed to Purchaser, provided Seller shall pay all transfer and/or other fees relating to such transfers of letters of credit;

Section 10.4    Prorations.
(a)    Seller and Purchaser agree to adjust, as of 11:59 p.m. on the day immediately preceding the Closing Date (the “Closing Time”), the following (collectively, the “Proration Items”):  real estate and personal property taxes and assessments for the year in which Closing occurs, utility bills (except as hereinafter provided), collected Rentals (subject to the terms of (b) below), operating expenses payable by the owner of the Property (on the basis of a 365 day year, actual days elapsed) and amounts payable under Service Contracts assumed by Purchaser on an accrual basis.  Seller shall pay all amounts due thereunder which accrue prior to the Closing and Purchaser shall pay all mounts accruing on the Closing Date and thereafter.  All capital and other 









improvements (including labor and materials) which are performed or contracted for or by Seller at or prior to the Closing will be paid by the Seller at or prior to Closing, without contribution or proration from Purchaser.  Seller will be charged and credited for the amounts of all of the Proration Items relating to the period up to and including the Closing Time, and Purchaser will be charged and credited for all of the Proration Items relating to the period after the Closing Time.  Such preliminary estimated Closing prorations shall be set forth on a preliminary closing statement to be prepared by Seller and submitted to Purchaser for Purchaser’s approval (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing Date (the “Closing Statement”).  The Closing Statement, once agreed upon, shall be signed by Purchaser and Seller and delivered to the Title Company for purposes of making the preliminary proration adjustment at Closing subject to the final cash settlement provided for below.  The preliminary proration shall be paid at Closing by Purchaser to Seller (if the preliminary prorations result in a net credit to Seller) or by Seller to Purchaser (if the preliminary prorations result in a net credit to Purchaser) by increasing or reducing the cash to be delivered by Purchaser in payment of the Purchase Price at the Closing.  If the actual amounts of the Proration Items are not known as of the Closing Time, the prorations will be made at Closing on the basis of the best evidence then available; thereafter, when actual figures are received, re-prorations will be made on the basis of the actual figures, and a final cash settlement will be made between Seller and Purchaser.  No prorations will be made in relation to insurance premiums (except to the extent covered by the proration of Operating Expense Recoveries), and Seller’s insurance policies will not be assigned to Purchaser except as otherwise provided in Section 9 above.  Final readings and final billings for utilities will be made if possible as of the Closing Time, in which event no proration will be made at the Closing with respect to utility bills (except to the extent covered by the proration of Operating Expense Recoveries).  Seller will be entitled to all deposits presently in effect with the utility providers, and Purchaser will be obligated to make its own arrangements for deposits with the utility providers.  A final reconciliation of Proration Items shall be made by Purchaser and Seller within sixty (60) days after Closing, provided that such reconciliation, as it relates to real estate taxes shall be made within thirty (30) days following the issuance of the tax bills for the Real Property for the year in which Closing occurs.  The provisions of this Section 10.4 will survive the Closing until the date which is six (6) months following the Closing Date (the “Reconciliation Period”), and in the event any items subject to proration hereunder are discovered within such period, the same shall be promptly prorated by the parties in accordance with the terms of this Section 10.4.  Seller and Purchaser, pursuant to RCW 60.80.020(1), hereby waive the services of Title Company in administering the disbursement of closing funds necessary to satisfy any unpaid utility charges.  Purchaser shall transfer all utilities at the Property to its name as of the Closing Date, and where necessary, post deposits with the utility companies.  Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause all utility meters to be 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.  All charges for utilities shall be prorated outside of the escrow contemplated herein within sixty (60) days after the Closing Date.  All prorations shall be made in accordance with customary practice in the jurisdiction in which the Real Property is located, except as expressly provided herein.   Following the Closing, Seller and Purchaser shall reasonably cooperate with each other in order to calculate and determine the correct amount of all prorations required to be made pursuant to this Section 10.
(b)    Purchaser will receive a credit on the Closing Statement for the prorated amount (as of the Closing Time) of all Rentals previously paid to and collected by Seller and attributable to any period following the Closing Time.  After the Closing, Seller will cause to be paid or turned over to Purchaser all Rentals, if any, received by Seller after Closing and properly attributable to any period following the Closing Time.  “Rentals” as used herein includes fixed 









monthly rentals, additional rentals, percentage rentals, escalation rentals (which include each Tenant’s proportionate share of building operation and maintenance costs and expenses as provided for under the applicable Tenant Lease, to the extent the same exceeds any expense stop specified in such Tenant Lease), retroactive rentals, all administrative charges, utility charges, tenant or real property association dues, storage rentals, special event proceeds, temporary rents, telephone receipts, locker rentals, vending machine receipts and other sums and charges payable to Seller or its successor by Tenants under the Tenant Leases or from other occupants or users of the Property, excluding specific tenant billings which are governed by Section 10.4(d).  Rentals are “Delinquent” if they were due prior to the Closing Time and payment thereof has not been made on or before the Closing Time.  Delinquent Rentals will not be prorated.  Purchaser agrees to use good faith collection procedures with respect to the collection of any Delinquent Rentals, but Purchaser will have no liability for the failure to collect any Delinquent Rentals payable to Seller and will not be required to conduct lock-outs or take any other legal action to enforce collection of any such amounts owed to Seller by Tenants of the Property.  All sums collected by Purchaser within one (1) year after Closing from each Tenant (excluding Tenant payments for Operating Expense Recoveries attributable to the period prior to the Closing Time governed by Section 10.4(c) below and tenant specific billings for tenant work orders and other specific services as described in and governed by Section 10.4(d) below, which shall be payable to and belong to Seller in all events) will be applied first to amounts currently owed by such Tenant to Purchaser (including Delinquent Rentals attributable to the period after the Closing Time), then any collection costs of Purchaser related to such Tenant, and then to prior delinquencies owed by such Tenant to Seller.  In no event shall Seller initiate litigation or other legal action after the Closing Date to pursue collection of Delinquent Rentals.  Any sums collected by Purchaser and due Seller will be promptly remitted to Seller, and any sums collected by Seller and due Purchaser will be promptly remitted to Purchaser.
(c)    Seller will prepare a reconciliation as of the Closing Time of the amounts of all billings and charges for operating expenses and taxes in excess of the applicable base year, if any, specified in each Tenant Lease (collectively, “Operating Expense Recoveries”) for the calendar year in which the Closing occurs.  If less amounts have been collected from Tenants for Operating Expense Recoveries for such calendar year than would have been owed by Tenants under the Tenant Leases if the reconciliations under such Tenant Leases were completed as of the Closing Time based on the operating expenses and taxes incurred by Seller for such calendar year up to the Closing Time (as prorated pursuant to Section 10.4(a) above), Purchaser will pay such difference to Seller at Closing as an addition to the Purchase Price.  If more amounts have been collected from Tenants for Operating Expense Recoveries for such calendar year than would have been owed by Tenants under the Tenant Leases if the reconciliations under the Tenant Leases were completed as of the Closing Time based on the operating expenses and taxes incurred by Seller for such calendar year up to the Closing Time (as prorated pursuant to Section 10.4(a) above), Seller will pay to Purchaser at Closing as a credit against the Purchase Price such excess collected amount.  Purchaser and Seller agree that such proration of Operating Expense Recoveries at Closing for such calendar year will fully relieve Seller from any responsibility to Tenants or Purchaser for such matters subject to Seller’s and Purchaser’s right and obligation to finalize prorations before the expiration of the Reconciliation Period, solely to make adjustments necessary to the extent estimates used in the calculation of such reconciliation at Closing differ from actual bills received after Closing for those items covered by such reconciliation at Closing or to correct any errors  or as the result of any audit by any Tenant (and the Reconciliation Period shall be extended, as necessary, until the completion of any such Tenant audit and the final resolution of any dispute with any such Tenant relating thereto).  In this regard, Purchaser will be solely responsible, from and after Closing, for (i) collecting from Tenants the amount of any outstanding Operating Expense Recoveries for the calendar year 









in which Closing occurs for periods before and after Closing, and (ii) where appropriate, reimbursing Tenants for amounts attributable to Operating Expense Recoveries for such calendar year, as may be necessary based on annual reconciliations for Operating Expense Recoveries for such calendar year.
(d)    With respect to specific tenant billings for work orders, special items performed or provided at the request of a given Tenant or other specific services, which are collected by Purchaser or Seller after the Closing Time but relate to any such specific services rendered by Seller or its property manager prior to the Closing Time and which are identified on the Tenant’s payment as relating to such specific services or which are clearly identifiable as being payment for any such specific services, Purchaser shall cause such collected amounts to be paid to Seller, or Seller may retain such payment if such payment is received by Seller after the Closing Time.
(e)    Seller shall pay (i) those tenant improvement allowances or to be incurred rent abatements, other allowances and concessions, legal fees and other expenditures incurred in connection with the lease of space in the Property (“Leasing Costs”) for all Leases executed prior to the Effective Date and those others identified on Exhibit G attached hereto as Seller’s obligations to the extent unpaid as of the Closing Date and (ii) all brokerage commissions in connection with Tenant Leases in effect as of the Effective Date.  To the extent Leasing Costs and brokerage commissions described in the preceding sentence remain unpaid as of Closing, then Purchaser shall receive a credit from Seller therefor at Closing and Purchaser shall be responsible after Closing for paying any Leasing Costs and brokerage commissions for which Purchaser received such a credit. Except as otherwise provided in Section 7.1(l), Purchaser will be solely responsible for and shall pay all Leasing Costs and brokerage commissions, incurred or to be incurred in connection with any new Tenant Lease, or the renewal, expansion, or modification of any Tenant Lease executed on or after the Effective Date (approved, if applicable, by Purchaser in accordance with Section 7.1(d)).  If any estoppel certificate received from a Tenant sets forth any Leasing Costs that are Seller’s responsibility under the applicable Tenant Lease and are not identified on Exhibit G, then, at Closing, Seller shall either (A) provide Purchaser a credit in the amount of such Leasing Costs if Seller does not contest Seller’s responsibility for such alleged Leasing Cost under the terms of the applicable Tenant Lease, in which case, Purchaser shall be responsible after Closing for paying or performing the same or, (B) if Seller contests such alleged Leasing Costs, the parties shall hold back in escrow a portion of the Purchase Price proceeds in an amount equal to the purported Leasing Costs pending final resolution with the applicable Tenant of whether such Leasing Costs are actually owed under the terms of the applicable Tenant Lease.  If any such dispute is finally resolved in favor of the applicable Tenant, then such amount shall be released from escrow to Purchaser or the applicable Tenant to satisfy the Leasing Costs in accordance with the terms of the applicable Tenant Lease.  If any such dispute is finally resolved in favor of Seller, then the applicable amount shall be released from escrow to Seller.  If Title Company requires further escrow instructions in connection with any holdback escrow to be established under this Section, the parties shall cooperate to execute such instructions as are required by Title Company, consistent with the terms and intent of these provisions.
(f)    Amounts payable and incurred pursuant to, and in connection with, the Hines TRS Agreements shall be prorated in the same manner as specified above in this Section 10.4.  
This Section 10.4 shall survive the Closing.









Section 10.5    Delivery of Real Property.  Upon completion of the Closing, Seller will deliver to Purchaser possession of the Real Property and Improvements, subject to the Tenant Leases and the Permitted Exceptions.
Section 10.6    Costs of Title Company and Closing Costs.  Costs of the Title Company and other Closing costs incurred in connection with the Closing will be allocated as follows:
(a)    Purchaser will pay (i) all premiums and other costs for any mortgagee policy of title insurance, including but not limited to any endorsements or deletions, (ii) Purchaser’s attorney’s fees, (iii) the costs of any update or re-certificate of the Updated Survey, (iv) 1/2 of all of the Title Company’s escrow and closing fees, if any, and (v) any mortgage recording tax or recording fees.
(b)    Seller will pay (i) the premium costs for obtaining primary and extended coverage under the Title Policy (but not any endorsements thereto), (ii) the cost of the Updated Survey, (iii) 1/2 of all of the Title Company’s escrow and closing fees, (iv) Seller’s attorneys’ fees, (v) prepayment penalties or premiums and other amounts payable with respect to prepaying the Property’s existing mortgage indebtedness at Closing (if any); (vi) all real estate excise taxes (including, without limitation, any city, county and state taxes) at Closing, and (vii) the commission payable by Seller pursuant to Section 11.1 below to Broker for the transaction contemplated by this Agreement
(c)    Any other costs and expenses of Closing not provided for in this Section 10.6 shall be allocated between Purchaser and Seller in accordance with the custom in the county in which the Real Property is located.
(d)    If the Closing does not occur on or before the Closing Date for any reason whatsoever, the costs incurred through the date of termination will be borne by the party incurring same.
Section 10.7    Post Closing Delivery of Tenant Notice Letters.  Immediately following Closing, Seller will deliver to each Tenant (via messenger or certified mail, return receipt requested) a written notice in a form approved by Purchaser executed by Purchaser and Seller (i) acknowledging the sale of the Property to Purchaser, (ii) acknowledging that Purchaser has received and is responsible for the Tenant Deposits (specifying the exact amount of the Tenant Deposits) and (iii) indicating that rent should thereafter be paid to Purchaser and giving instructions therefor (the “Tenant Notice Letters”).  Seller shall provide to Purchaser a copy of each Tenant Notice Letter promptly after delivery of same, and proof of delivery of same promptly after such proof is available.  This Section 10.7 shall survive Closing.

(a)    If Closing of the purchase and sale transaction provided for herein does not occur as herein provided by reason of any default of Seller, Purchaser may, as Purchaser’s sole and exclusive remedies, elect by written notice to Seller within ten (10) Business Days following the scheduled Closing Date, to either (a) terminate this Agreement, in which event Purchaser will receive from the Title Company the Earnest Money Deposit and in the event that such termination is due to an intentional or willful default by Seller or such termination is due to a failure of Seller’s representations and warranties to be true and correct in all material respects as of the Closing Date due to an intentional or willful breach of such representations and warranties, Seller shall reimburse Purchaser for Purchaser’s actual, out-of-pocket costs incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transaction contemplated hereby (including in connection with any proposed financing of the transaction contemplated by this Agreement) in an amount not to exceed $250,000, which obligation shall survive the termination of this Agreement, whereupon Seller and Purchaser will have no further rights or obligations under this Agreement, except with respect to the Termination Surviving Obligations, or (b) pursue specific performance of this Agreement, so long as any action or proceeding commenced by Purchaser against Seller shall be filed and served within sixty (60) days of the scheduled Closing Date, and, in either event, Purchaser hereby waives all other remedies, including without limitation, any claim against Seller for damages of any type or kind including, without limitation, consequential or punitive damages.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section 13.1 will limit Purchaser’s remedies at law, in equity or as herein provided in the event of a breach by Seller of any of the Closing Surviving Obligations after Closing or the Termination Surviving Obligations after termination, subject to the terms and provisions of this Agreement.
Section 13.2    DEFAULT BY PURCHASER.  IN THE EVENT THE CLOSING AND THE CONSUMMATION OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREIN DO NOT OCCUR AS PROVIDED HEREIN (TIME BEING OF THE ESSENCE) BY REASON OF ANY DEFAULT OF PURCHASER TO PROCEED TO CLOSING IN ACCORDANCE WITH ITS OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, PURCHASER AND SELLER AGREE IT WOULD BE IMPRACTICAL AND EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO FIX THE DAMAGES WHICH SELLER MAY SUFFER.  PURCHASER AND SELLER HEREBY AGREE THAT (i) AN AMOUNT EQUAL TO THE EARNEST MONEY DEPOSIT, TOGETHER WITH ALL INTEREST ACCRUED THEREON, IS A REASONABLE ESTIMATE OF THE TOTAL NET DETRIMENT SELLER WOULD SUFFER IN THE EVENT PURCHASER DEFAULTS AND FAILS TO COMPLETE THE PURCHASE OF THE PROPERTY IN ACCORDANCE WITH ITS OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, AND (ii) SUCH AMOUNT SHALL BE PAID TO SELLER AND WILL BE THE FULL, AGREED AND LIQUIDATED DAMAGES FOR PURCHASER’S DEFAULT AND FAILURE TO COMPLETE THE PURCHASE OF THE PROPERTY IN ACCORDANCE WITH ITS OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, AND WILL BE SELLER’S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY (WHETHER AT LAW OR IN EQUITY) FOR ANY DEFAULT OF PURCHASER RESULTING IN THE FAILURE OF CONSUMMATION OF THE CLOSING BY PURCHASER IN ACCORDANCE WITH ITS OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, WHEREUPON THIS AGREEMENT WILL TERMINATE AND SELLER AND PURCHASER WILL HAVE NO FURTHER RIGHTS OR OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER, EXCEPT WITH RESPECT TO THE TERMINATION SURVIVING OBLIGATIONS. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, NOTHING CONTAINED IN THIS SECTION 13.2 HEREIN WILL LIMIT SELLER’S REMEDIES AT LAW, IN EQUITY 









OR AS HEREIN PROVIDED IN THE EVENT OF A BREACH BY PURCHASER OF ANY OF THE CLOSING SURVIVING OBLIGATIONS OR THE TERMINATION SURVIVING OBLIGATIONS.
Section 13.3    Consequential and Punitive Damages.  Each of Seller and Purchaser waives any right to sue the other for any consequential or punitive damages for matters arising under this Agreement (it being understood that each of Seller and Purchaser has waived the right to obtain incidental, special, exemplary or consequential damages in connection with any default of Purchaser or Seller respectively, or otherwise, which include, without limitation, loss of profits or inability to secure lenders, investors or buyers).  This Section 13.3 shall survive Closing or termination of this Agreement.
Section 13.4    Cure.  Neither party shall be deemed to be in default under this Agreement unless the other party delivers written notice of such default to the defaulting party and the defaulting party fails to cure such default within two (2) Business Days after receipt of such written notice.

ARTICLE XV     
ASSIGNMENT AND BINDING EFFECT
Section 15.1    Assignment; Binding Effect.  Purchaser will not have the right to assign this Agreement without Seller’s prior written consent, to be given or withheld in Seller’s sole and absolute discretion.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser may assign its rights under this Agreement to an Affiliate of Purchaser without the consent of Seller, provided that any such assignment does not relieve the assigning party of its obligations hereunder, and the assignee of Purchaser and Purchaser shall jointly and severally be liable for the obligations of Purchaser hereunder.  Seller shall not have the right to assign this Agreement without Purchaser’s prior written consent, to be given or withheld in Purchaser’s sole and absolute discretion.  This Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Seller and Purchaser and their respective successors and permitted assigns, and no other party will be conferred any rights by virtue of this Agreement or be entitled to enforce any of the provisions hereof.  Whenever a reference is made in this Agreement to Seller or Purchaser, such reference will include the successors and permitted assigns of such party under this Agreement.
ARTICLE XVI     
PROCEDURE FOR INDEMNIFICATION AND LIMITED SURVIVAL OF REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS









Section 16.1    Survival of Representations, Warranties and Covenants.
(a)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the representations and warranties of Seller set forth in this Agreement and Seller’s liability under any provision of this Agreement, any Seller Certificate, and under any other document or agreement executed in connection with this Agreement, including all documents and agreements executed at Closing (“Closing Documents”), will survive the Closing for a period of six (6) months.  Purchaser shall not have any right to bring any action against Seller as a result of (i) any untruth, inaccuracy or breach of such representations and warranties under this Agreement, or (ii) the failure of Seller to perform its obligations under any other provision of this Agreement, any Seller Certificate, or any of the Closing Documents, unless and until the aggregate amount of all liability and losses arising out of all such untruths, inaccuracies, breaches and failures exceeds $100,000, in which event, the full amount of such claims shall be actionable.  In addition, in no event will Seller’s liability for all such untruths, inaccuracies, breaches, and/or failures under Sections 8.1, any other provision of this Agreement, any Seller Certificate, or under any Closing Documents exceed, in the aggregate, one and one-half percent (1.5%) of the Purchase Price.  The limitations on liability set forth in this Section 16.1(a) shall not apply to (i) Seller’s post-closing obligations under Sections 7.1(l), 9, 10.4 and 11.1 above, or Seller’s obligations under Section 17.2 below.
(b)    Seller shall have no liability with respect to any of Seller’s representations or warranties herein if, prior to the Closing, Purchaser Obtains Knowledge of any breach of a representation or warranty of Seller herein, and Purchaser nevertheless consummates the transaction contemplated by this Agreement, in which case Purchaser shall be deemed to have waived such breach.  For purposes hereof, “Purchaser Obtains Knowledge” shall mean (i) any Purchaser’s Representative has actual knowledge of such breach of a representation or warranty, or (ii) any tenant estoppel certificate or third-party report delivered to Purchaser clearly contradicts any of Seller’s representations or warranties herein.  If, after the Effective Date, but prior to Closing, Purchaser discovers that one or more representations or warranties is no longer true and correct in any material respect and such inaccuracies in the aggregate affect the value of the Property by at least $100,000, then Purchaser may terminate this Agreement by the delivery of written notice to Seller within five (5) Business Days after the date of such disclosure or the obtaining of such knowledge, in which case, Title Company shall promptly return the Earnest Money Deposit, and except for the Termination Surviving Obligations, the parties shall have no further rights or obligations to one another under this Agreement; provided Seller may, at its sole option by delivering notice to Purchaser within two (2) Business Days after Purchaser’s delivery of its termination notice to Seller, elect to provide Purchaser a credit against the Purchase Price for the change in value in excess of $100,000 resulting from such breach, in which event, Purchaser’s termination shall be rendered void and of no effect.
(c)    The Closing Surviving Obligations will survive Closing without limitation, unless a specified period is otherwise provided in this Agreement.  All other representations, warranties, covenants and agreements made or undertaken by Seller under this Agreement, unless otherwise specifically provided herein, will not survive the Closing Date but will be merged into the Closing Documents delivered at the Closing.  The Termination Surviving Obligations shall survive termination of this Agreement without limitation unless a specified period is otherwise provided in this Agreement.
ARTICLE XVII     
MISCELLANEOUS









Section 17.1    Waivers; Amendments.  No waiver of any breach of any covenant or provision contained herein will be deemed a waiver of any preceding or succeeding breach thereof, or of any other covenant or provision contained herein.  No extension of time for performance of any obligation or act will be deemed an extension of the time for performance of any other obligation or act.  This Agreement may not be amended except in a writing signed by both Seller and Purchaser.
Section 17.2    Recovery of Certain Fees.  In the event a party hereto files any action or suit against another party hereto by reason of any breach of any of the covenants, agreements or provisions contained in this Agreement, then in that event the prevailing party will be entitled to have and recover of and from the other party all attorneys’ fees and costs resulting therefrom.  For purposes of this Agreement, the term “attorneys’ fees” or “attorneys’ fees and costs” shall mean all court costs and the fees and expenses of counsel to the parties hereto, which may include printing, photostatting, duplicating and other expenses, air freight charges, and fees billed for law clerks, paralegals and other persons not admitted to the bar but performing services under the supervision of an attorney, and the costs and fees incurred in connection with the enforcement or collection of any judgment obtained in any such proceeding.  The provisions of this Section 17.2 shall survive the entry of any judgment, and shall not merge, or be deemed to have merged, into any judgment.
Section 17.3    Time of Essence.  Seller and Purchaser hereby acknowledge and agree that time is strictly of the essence with respect to each and every term, condition, obligation and provision hereof.  Without limiting the foregoing, Purchaser acknowledges that Purchaser has no, and waives any, right to extend the Closing Date except as expressly set forth herein.
Section 17.4    Construction.  Headings at the beginning of each article and section are solely for the convenience of the parties and are not a part of this Agreement.  Whenever required by the context of this Agreement, the singular will include the plural and the masculine will include the feminine and vice versa.  This Agreement will not be construed as if it had been prepared by one of the parties, but rather as if both parties had prepared the same.  All exhibits and schedules referred to in this Agreement are attached and incorporated by this reference, and any capitalized term used in any exhibit or schedule which is not defined in such exhibit or schedule will have the meaning attributable to such term in the body of this Agreement.  In the event the date on which Purchaser or Seller is required to take any action under the terms of this Agreement is not a Business Day, the action will be taken on the next succeeding Business Day.
Section 17.5    Counterparts; Electronic Signatures Binding.  To facilitate execution of this Agreement, this Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which, when assembled to include an original, faxed or electronic mail (in .PDF or similar file) signature for each party contemplated to sign this Agreement, will constitute a complete and fully executed agreement.  All such fully executed original, faxed or electronic mail (in .PDF or similar file) counterparts will collectively constitute a single agreement, and such signatures shall be binding upon the party sending the signature by such electronic means when sent.
Section 17.6    Severability.  If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal, or incapable of being enforced by any rule of law or public policy, all of the other conditions and provisions of this Agreement will nevertheless remain in full force and effect, so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any adverse manner to either party.  Upon such determination that any term or 









other provision is invalid, illegal, or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto will negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to reflect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner to the end that the transactions contemplated hereby are fulfilled to the extent possible.
Section 17.7    Entire Agreement.  This Agreement is the final expression of, and contains the entire agreement between, the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersedes all prior understandings with respect thereto.  This Agreement may not be modified, changed, supplemented or terminated, nor may any obligations hereunder be waived, except by written instrument, signed by the party to be charged or by its agent duly authorized in writing, or as otherwise expressly permitted herein.
Section 17.8    Governing Law and Venue.  THIS AGREEMENT WILL BE CONSTRUED, PERFORMED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF WASHINGTON.  THE PARTIES AGREE THAT ANY ACTION IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE BROUGHT AND MAINTAINED IN THE STATE OR FEDERAL COURTS THAT ARE SEATED IN THE CITY AND COUNTY IN WHICH THE PROPERTY IS LOCATED, AND THE PARTIES HEREBY CONSENT AND AGREE TO THE JURISDICTION OF SUCH COURTS.
Section 17.9    No Recording.  The parties hereto agree that neither this Agreement nor any affidavit concerning it will be recorded; provided, that, Purchaser may file a lis pendens or other similar notice against the Property in connection with, and after, the proper filing of a suit for specific performance.
Section 17.10    Further Actions.  The parties agree to execute such instructions to the Title Company and such other instruments and to do such further acts as may be reasonably necessary to carry out the provisions of this Agreement.
Section 17.11    No Other Inducements.  The making, execution and delivery of this Agreement by the parties hereto have been induced by no representations, statements, warranties or agreements other than those expressly set forth herein.
Section 17.12    Exhibits.  Exhibits A through U, inclusive, are incorporated herein by reference.
Section 17.13    No Partnership.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, this Agreement shall not be deemed or construed to make the parties hereto partners or joint venturers, it being the intention of the parties to merely create the relationship of Seller and Purchaser with respect to the Property to be conveyed as contemplated hereby.
Section 17.14    Limitations on Benefits.  It is the explicit intention of Purchaser and Seller that no person or entity other than Purchaser and Seller and their permitted successors and assigns is or shall be entitled to bring any action to enforce any provision of this Agreement against any of the parties hereto, and the covenants, undertakings and agreements set forth in this Agreement shall be solely for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable only by, Purchaser and Seller or their respective successors and assigns as permitted hereunder.  Nothing contained in this Agreement shall under any circumstances whatsoever be deemed or construed, or be interpreted, as making any third party (including, without limitation, Broker or any Tenant) a beneficiary of any term or provision of this Agreement or any instrument or document delivered 









pursuant hereto, and Purchaser and Seller expressly reject any such intent, construction or interpretation of this Agreement.
Section 17.15    Exculpation.  In no event whatsoever shall recourse be had or liability asserted against any of Seller’s partners, members, shareholders, employees, agents, directors, officers or other owners of Seller or their respective constituent members, partners, shareholders, employees, agents directors, officers or other owners.  Seller’s direct and indirect shareholders, partners, members, beneficiaries and owners and their respective trustees, officers, directors, employees, agents and security holders, assume no personal liability for any obligations entered into on behalf of Seller under this Agreement and the Closing Documents.  In no event whatsoever shall recourse be had or liability asserted against any of Purchaser’s partners, members, shareholders, employees, agents, directors, officers or other owners or their respective constituent members, partners, shareholders, employees, agents directors, officers or other owners.  Purchaser’s direct and indirect shareholders, partners, members, beneficiaries and owners and their respective trustees, officers, directors, employees, agents and security holders, assume no personal liability for any obligations entered into on behalf of Purchaser under this Agreement and the Closing Documents.
Section 17.16    Waiver of Jury Trial.  THE PARTIES HERETO KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVE, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY DISPUTE ARISING UNDER OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT AND AGREE THAT ANY SUCH DISPUTE SHALL BE TRIED BEFORE A JUDGE SITTING WITHOUT A JURY.
Section 17.17    Environmental Disclosure.  Purchaser and Seller acknowledge that the Property constitutes “Commercial Real Estate” as defined in RCW 64.06.005.  Purchaser voluntarily waives receipt of the Seller disclosure statement required under RCW 64.06 for transactions involving the sale of commercial real estate, except for the Section entitled “Environmental”.  The Environmental Section of the Seller disclosure statement as completed by Seller is attached to this Agreement as Exhibit L attached hereto (the “Disclosure Statement”).

JOINDER BY GUARANTOR
Provided the Closing of the transaction contemplated by this Agreement occurs, the undersigned (“Guarantor”) agrees to and does guaranty to GI TC Seattle LLC, subject to the limitations on survival and liability contained in this Agreement, Seller’s post-Closing obligations under this Agreement, including without limitation any liability relating to Seller’s breach of representation or warranty.
Guarantor does hereby waive each of the following: (a) any and all notices and demands of every kind which may be required to be given by any statute, rule or law, (b) any failure by Purchaser to inform Guarantor of any facts Purchaser may know or hereafter know about Seller, the Property or this Agreement, it being understood and agreed that Purchaser has no duty so to inform and that Guarantor is fully responsible for being and remaining informed by Seller of all circumstances bearing on the risk of nonperformance of Seller’s obligations under this Agreement, (c) any defense Guarantor has to performance hereunder, and any right Guarantor has to be exonerated arising by reason of any alteration of the obligations by Seller and Purchaser or any acceptance by Purchaser of anything in partial satisfaction of such obligations or any course of dealing between Seller and Purchaser, (d) notice of any adverse change in the financial condition of Seller or of any fact that might increase Guarantor’s risk hereunder, (e) any and all subrogation, contribution, indemnity and reimbursement rights against Seller until the obligations have been paid, performed and fully satisfied in full, (f) any assignment, conveyance, extinguishment, merger or other transfer, voluntary or involuntary (whether by operation of law or otherwise) of all or any part of the interest of Seller in this Agreement; or (g) any other defense available to a surety under applicable law.  Guarantor further waives any right to require Purchaser to join Seller in any action brought under this joinder by Guarantor or to pursue any other remedy or enforce any other right.  Guarantor further waives all other suretyship defenses Guarantor would otherwise have under the laws of the State of Washington or any other jurisdiction.
This Guaranty shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment of all or any part of the guaranteed obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by Purchaser upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of Seller or Guarantor, or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made.  Guarantor’s liability shall not be impaired, modified, changed, released or limited in any manner whatsoever by any impairment, modification, change, release or limitation of liability of Seller or of any remedy for the enforcement thereof, resulting from the operation of any present or future provision of the Federal Bankruptcy Code, or any similar law or statute of the United States or any state thereof covering insolvency, bankruptcy, rehabilitation, liquidation or reorganization (collectively, “Bankruptcy Laws”), it being the intention of Guarantor that Guarantor’s liability hereunder shall be determined without regard to any Bankruptcy Laws which may relieve Seller of any obligations.
