Buyer and Seller shall each pay their own legal fees related to the preparation of this Agreement and, except as otherwise provided herein, all documents required to settle the transaction contemplated hereby.  Except as otherwise provided herein, Buyer shall pay (i) all costs associated with its investigation of the Property, including the cost of appraisals, architectural, engineering, credit and environmental reports, (ii) all title insurance premiums for the Title Policy and any endorsements to the Title Policy required by Buyer, and (iii) all recording costs associated with the Deed.  Seller shall pay (1) all transfer, assumption or waiver fees associated with any association, declarant or easement holder that holds any right in the Property, (2) all transfer taxes and documentary stamp charges, and (3) recording fees in connection with the removal of encumbrances.  Buyer and Seller shall share equally the cost of all escrow charges.  Any and all other purchase and sale closing costs shall be paid in accordance with the custom of the local jurisdiction in which the Property is located or as otherwise set forth herein.
5.8.2    Prorations.  The following shall be prorated, credited, debited and adjusted between Seller and Buyer as of 12:01 a.m. on the day of the Closing (except as otherwise provided) in accordance with this Section.  For purposes of calculating prorations, Buyer shall be deemed to be in title to the Property, and therefore entitled to the income and responsible for the expenses, for the entire day upon which the Closing occurs. Except as hereinafter expressly provided, all prorations shall be done on the basis of a three hundred sixty-five (365) day year and the actual number of days elapsed to the Closing Date or the actual number of days in the month in which the Closing occurs and the actual number of days elapsed in such month to the Closing Date, as applicable.
(a)    Rents.  Buyer will receive a credit at Closing for all rents collected by Seller prior to the Closing Date and allocable to the period from and after the Closing Date based upon the actual number of days in the month. No credit shall be given Seller for accrued and unpaid rent or any other non-current sums due from tenants until such sums are paid, and Seller shall retain the right to collect any such rent provided Seller does not sue to evict any tenants or terminate any Tenant Leases. Buyer shall cooperate with Seller after the Closing Date to collect any rent under the Tenant Leases which has accrued as of the Closing Date; provided, however, Buyer shall not be obligated to sue any tenants or exercise any legal remedies under the Tenant Leases or to incur any expense over and above its own regular collection expenses. All payments collected from tenants after the Closing Date shall first be applied to the month in which the Closing occurs, then to any rent due to Buyer for the period after the Closing Date and finally to any rent due to Seller for the periods prior to Closing Date; provided, however, notwithstanding the foregoing, if Seller collects any payments from tenants after the Closing Date through its own collection efforts, Seller may first apply such payments to rent due Seller for the period prior to the Closing Date.
(b)    CAM Expenses. To the extent that tenants are reimbursing the landlord for common area maintenance and other operating expenses (collectively, “CAM

18






 Charge(s)”), CAM Charges shall be prorated at Closing as of the Closing Date on a lease-by-lease basis with each party being entitled to receive a portion of the CAM Charges payable under each Tenant Lease for the CAM Lease Year (as defined below) in which Closing occurs, which portion shall be equal to the actual CAM Charges incurred during the party’s respective periods of ownership of the Property during the CAM Lease Year. As used herein, the term “CAM Lease Year” means the twelve (12) month period as to which annual CAM Charges are owed under each Tenant Lease. Seller shall be responsible for the CAM Charges reconciliation on a lease-by-lease basis for their ownership period within the CAM Lease Year up to, but not including, the Closing Date. Buyer shall be responsible for the CAM Charges reconciliation on a lease-by-lease basis for their ownership period within the CAM Lease Year including the Closing Date. In the event of any expenses, i.e. property taxes, where a proration was based upon an estimate for the year of Closing, a post closing “true up” will be performed for the actual expense to determine Seller and Buyer obligation for their ownership period for the year of Closing. Each party will be responsible for any CAM Charges “true up” necessary to the extent that any Tenant Lease provides for a “true up”. 
(c)    Property Taxes. All real property taxes for the year immediately preceding the year of Closing that are payable in the year of Closing, and for years prior thereto, shall be paid by Seller on or before the Closing.  Real property taxes for the year of Closing shall be prorated on the basis of the most recent assessment and levy. If the most recent tax assessment and levy is not for the current tax year, then the parties shall reprorate within sixty (60) days of the receipt of the tax assessment and levy for the current tax year. If after the Closing there is any retroactive increase in the real or personal property taxes or assessments imposed on the Property: (1) if such increase relates to the tax year in which the Closing occurred, then such increase shall be prorated by Seller and Buyer on a per diem basis based on their respective periods of ownership during their period to which such increase applies, (2) if such increase relates to any tax year subsequent to the tax year which the Closing occurred, then such increase shall be the obligation of Buyer, and (3) if such increase relates to any tax year prior to the tax year in which the Closing occurred, then such increase shall be the obligation of Seller. Any and all refunds, credits, claims or rights to appeal respecting the amount of any real property taxes or other taxes or assessments charged in connection with the Property for any period after Closing shall belong to Buyer following the Closing, except that Seller shall be entitled to receive any refunds applicable to the period prior to Closing to the extent that Seller initiated a contest prior to Closing.
(d)    Private Assessments.  Payments due under any assessments imposed by private covenant shall be prorated as of the Closing.
(e)    Operating Expenses. All operating expenses (including all charges under the Contracts and agreements assumed by Buyer) shall be prorated, and as to each service provider, operating expenses payable or paid to such service provider in respect to the billing period of such service provider in which the Closing occurs (the “Current Billing Period”), shall be prorated on a per diem basis based upon the number of days in the Current Billing Period prior to the Closing Date and the number of days in the Current Billing Period from and after the Closing Date, and assuming that all charges are incurred uniformly during the Current Billing Period.  If actual bills for the Current Billing Period are unavailable as of the 

19






Closing Date, then such proration shall be made on an estimated basis based upon the most recently issued bills, subject to readjustment upon receipt of actual bills.
(f)    Items Not Prorated.  Seller and Buyer agree that (i) on the Closing Date, the Property will not be subject to any financing arranged by Seller, except for the Loan; (ii) none of the insurance policies relating to the Property will be assigned to Buyer and Buyer shall be responsible for arranging for its own insurance as of the Closing Date; and (iii) utilities, including telephone, electricity, water, and gas, shall be read on the Closing Date and Buyer shall be responsible for all the necessary actions needed to arrange for utilities to be transferred to the name of Buyer on the Closing Date, including the posting of any required deposits and Seller shall be entitled to recover and retain from the providers of such utilities any refunds or overpayments to the extent applicable to the period prior to the Closing Date, and any utility deposits which it or its predecessors may have posted. Accordingly, there will be no prorations for debt service, insurance or utilities. In the event a meter reading is unavailable for any particular utility, such utility shall be prorated in the manner provided in Section 5.8.2(e).
(g)    Other Items.  All other items customarily prorated or required by any other provision of this Agreement to be prorated or adjusted.
5.8.3    Credits. 
(a)    Security Deposits, Rent Concessions, Tenant Improvement Allowances and Other Tenant Credits.  The Buyer shall receive a credit at Closing from the Seller in the amount of the sum of the following (collectively, the “Tenant Inducement Costs”): (i) the tenant deposits under the Tenant Leases; (ii) any and all rent concessions and/or rent abatements which related to the current terms of the Tenant Leases and are unpaid, unapplied and/or unutilized; (iii) any and all tenant improvement allowances which relate to the current terms of the Tenant Leases and are unpaid, unapplied and/or unutilized; and (iv) the cost, as estimated by the parties in their reasonable discretion, of any and all non-monetary tenant inducement obligations of the Seller, as landlord or lessor under the Tenant Leases, which relate to the current terms of the Tenant Leases (e.g., painting and carpeting) and are unperformed.  
(b)    Leasing Commissions.  The Buyer shall receive a credit at Closing from the Seller in the amount of any and all leasing commissions which relate to the current term of the Tenant Leases and are unpaid.

The Escrow Agent shall prepare and deliver to Seller and Buyer no later than three (3) business days prior to the Closing Date an estimated closing statement which shall set forth all costs payable, and the prorations and credits provided for in this Agreement.  Seller shall prepare and deliver to Escrow Agent all such information necessary in order for Escrow Agent to prepare and deliver the closing statement to Seller and Buyer in accordance with the foregoing provision.  To the extent that Seller does not timely deliver this information to Escrow Agent, Buyer shall have the right, but not the obligation, to extend the Closing Date by the number of days Seller is delinquent in delivering such information to Escrow Agent.  Any item which cannot be finally prorated because of the unavailability of information shall be tentatively prorated on the basis of the best data then available and adjusted when the information is available in accordance with this subsection. 

20






Buyer and Seller shall notify the Escrow Agent and each other of any items which they dispute and the parties shall attempt in good faith to reconcile any differences not later than one (1) day before the Closing Date. The estimated closing statement as adjusted as aforesaid and approved in writing by the parties shall be referred to therein as the “Closing Statement”. If the prorations and credits made under the Closing Statement shall prove to be incorrect or incomplete for any reason, then either party shall be entitled to an adjustment to correct the same; provided, however, that any adjustment shall be made, if at all, within sixty (60) days after the Closing Date except with respect to CAM Charges, taxes and assessments, in which case such adjustment shall be made within sixty (60) days after the information necessary to perform such adjustment is available), and if a party fails to request an adjustment to the Closing Statement by a written notice delivered to the other party within the applicable period set forth above (such notice to specify in reasonable detail the items within the Closing Statement that such party desires to adjust and the reasons for such adjustment), then the prorations and credits set forth in the Closing Statement shall be binding and conclusive against such party.
5.8.5    Loan Assumption.  Buyer shall receive a credit at Closing in an amount equal to the sum of the unpaid principal balance of the Loan, and any interest, default interest, or other sum that is accrued, due and/or payable to Existing Lender on the Closing Date.

If the sale contemplated hereby is not consummated because of a default by Buyer in its obligation to purchase the Property in accordance with the terms of this Agreement after Seller has performed or tendered performance of all of its material obligations in accordance with this Agreement, then, upon written notice from Seller to Buyer: (i) this Agreement shall terminate; (ii) the Deposit shall be paid to and retained by Seller as liquidated damages; and (iii) Seller and Buyer shall have no further obligations to each other, except those which survive the termination of this Agreement.  Buyer and Seller acknowledge that the damages to Seller in the event of such a breach of this Agreement by Buyer would be difficult or impossible to determine, that the amount of the Deposit represents the parties’ best and most accurate estimate of the damages that would be suffered by Seller if the transaction should fail to close and that such estimate is reasonable under the circumstances existing as of the date of this Agreement and under the circumstances that Seller and Buyer reasonably anticipate would exist at the time of such default.  Except for obligations that survive termination of this Agreement, Buyer and Seller agree that Seller’s right to retain the Deposit shall be Seller’s sole remedy, at law and in equity, for Buyer’s failure to purchase the Property in accordance with the terms of this Agreement after Seller has performed.  Seller hereby waives any right to an action for specific performance of any provisions of this Agreement.    
6.2    Seller’s Default.  If Seller fails to perform any of its obligations or is otherwise in default hereunder, breaches a representation or warranty, or willfully causes the failure of a condition precedent pursuant to Section 5.4 hereof, and Buyer has performed all of its material obligations in accordance with this Agreement (as applicable, a “Seller Default), Buyer shall have the right to elect, in its sole and absolute discretion to:

22






6.2.1    Waive such failure and proceed to the Closing with no reduction in the Purchase Price; provided, however, that this provision will not limit Buyer’s right to receive reimbursement for attorney’s fees pursuant to Section 9.8 below in connection with any legal proceedings instituted by either party or Escrow Agent with respect to the enforcement of this Agreement, nor waive or affect Seller’s indemnity obligations under this Agreement or Buyer’s rights to enforce those indemnity obligations, nor waive or affect any of Seller’s other obligations under this Agreement to be performed after the Closing or Buyer’s rights to enforce those obligations;
6.2.2    Exercise any of its other rights or remedies Buyer may have at law or in equity, including, without limitation, an action for specific performance to cause Seller to convey the Property to Buyer pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement; or
6.2.3    Terminate this Agreement in its entirety by notice to Seller to that effect, in which event the parties hereto shall have no further obligations hereunder, except those which survive termination hereof (provided that this provision will not limit Buyer’s right to receive reimbursement for attorney’s fees pursuant to Section 9.8 below in connection with any legal proceedings instituted by either party or Escrow Agent with respect to the enforcement of this Agreement, nor waive or affect Seller’s indemnity obligations under this Agreement or Buyer’s rights to enforce those indemnity obligations), and to recover the full amount of the Deposit, and to recover all damages and seek such other relief at law or in equity to which Buyer may be entitled as a result of Seller’s breach.  For the avoidance of doubt, in the event of a Seller Default, the foregoing reimbursement obligation shall survive any termination of this Agreement.
6.2.4    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Buyer shall not be required to fund the balance of the Purchase Price in order to enforce any of its remedies under this Agreement.  This Section 6.2 shall survive the Closing or earlier termination of this Agreement.
ARTICLE 7 
CASUALTY DAMAGE OR CONDEMNATION
7.1    Casualty.  If the Property is damaged by casualty prior to the Closing and either (i) the casualty is uninsured and results in loss or damage in an amount valued greater than Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000.00); (ii) the casualty is insured and results in loss or damage in an amount valued greater than Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000.00); or (iii) the nature of such casualty results in a circumstance whereby a Tenant under the Tenant Leases may terminate its Tenant Lease or receive a rent abatement, then Buyer, in its sole and absolute discretion, shall have the sole option to elect either to:
(a)    acquire the Property as is (without reduction in the Purchase Price), plus an assignment from Seller without recourse or credit of any insurance proceeds payable by virtue of such loss or damage plus a credit for any deductible under said policy and any uninsured loss.  If the casualty is uninsured, Buyer shall receive a credit for the uninsured loss in an amount up to Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000.00); or

23






(b)    terminate this Agreement upon written notice to Seller, in which event the entire Deposit shall be promptly returned to Buyer and the parties shall have no further obligations, except those which expressly survive termination of this Agreement.
Such right must be exercised within thirty (30) days from earlier of the date Seller provides Buyer with notice of the loss of the event giving rise to such right or the date of Buyer’s knowledge of the casualty.  If Buyer fails to provide notice of an election, then Buyer shall have been deemed to elect (a) above.  Notwithstanding anything set forth herein to the contrary, if Seller is in default or breach at the time of any such termination, Seller shall remain liable for breach or default as otherwise set forth in this Agreement.
7.2    Condemnation.  In the event that a condemnation proceeding shall be initiated against, or a bona fide threat of condemnation is made against, any portion of the Property prior to the Closing, then Buyer, in Buyer’s sole and absolute discretion, may elect either to:
(a)    terminate this Agreement upon written notice to Seller, in which event the entire Deposit shall be promptly returned to Buyer and the parties shall have no further obligations, except those which expressly survive termination of this Agreement; or
(b)    close the transaction contemplated by this Agreement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Seller is in default or breach at the time of any such termination, Seller shall remain liable for breach or default as otherwise set forth in this Agreement.  If Buyer elects to proceed under Section 7.2(b), Buyer shall purchase the Property in accordance with the terms hereof (without reduction in the Purchase Price) and Seller shall assign to Buyer at Closing all condemnation proceeds payable as a result of such condemnation.  Buyer shall be deemed to have elected to proceed under Section 7.2(b) unless, within thirty (30) days from the earlier of written notice of the condemnation or Buyer’s knowledge thereof, Buyer provides Seller with written notice that Buyer elects to proceed under Section 7.2(a).  
ARTICLE 8 
REAL ESTATE COMMISSION
Buyer and Seller each represent to the other that no broker’s or real estate commissions or other finder’s fees are or shall be due in respect to this transaction by reason of any agreement made or which may be alleged to have been made by Buyer or Seller, except for a commission to Paul Zeman (SC License Number 77019) with Bull Realty, Inc. (SC License Number 13327), which will be paid by Seller pursuant to a separate agreement.  Each party agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the other from and against any and all claims, demands or the cost or expense thereof, including reasonable attorney’s fees, arising out of any broker’s commission, fee or other compensation due or alleged to be due in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement based upon an agreement alleged to have been made or other action alleged to have been taken by the indemnifying party.

24

26






including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, whether at the investigative, pretrial, trial or appellate level.  The prevailing party shall be determined by the court based upon an assessment of which party’s major arguments or position prevailed.
9.9    IRS Real Estate Sales Reporting.  Buyer and Seller agree that Escrow Agent shall act as “the person responsible for closing” the transaction which is the subject of this Agreement pursuant to Section 6045(e) of the Code and shall prepare and file all informational returns, including without limitation, IRS Form 1099-S, and shall otherwise comply with the provisions of Section 6045(e) of the Code.

9.12    Survival of Provisions After Closing.  Any provisions of this Agreement that require observance or performance after the Closing Date shall continue in force and effect following the Closing Date.


9.13    Further Instruments.  Each party, promptly upon the request of the other, shall execute and have acknowledged and delivered to the other or to the Escrow Agent, as may be appropriate, any and all further instruments reasonably requested or appropriate to evidence or give effect to the provisions of this Agreement and which are consistent with the provisions of this Agreement.
9.14    Descriptive Headings; Word Meaning.  The descriptive headings of the paragraphs of this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and shall not control or affect the meaning or construction of any provisions of this Agreement.  Words such as “herein,” “hereinafter,” “hereof’ and “hereunder” when used in reference to this Agreement, refer to this Agreement as a whole and not merely to a subdivision in which such words appear, unless the context otherwise requires.  The singular shall include the plural and the masculine sender shall include the feminine and neuter, and vice versa, unless the context otherwise requires.  The word “including” shall not be restrictive and shall be interpreted as if followed by the words “without limitation.”
9.15    Business Day.  As used herein, the term “Business Day” means any day other than Saturday, Sunday and any day which is a legal holiday in the State of South Carolina or the State of California.
9.16    Construction of Agreement.  This Agreement shall not be construed more strictly against one party than against the other merely by virtue of the fact that it may have been prepared primarily by counsel for one of the parties, it being recognized that both Buyer and Seller have contributed substantially and materially to the preparation of this Agreement.
9.17    Severability.  The parties hereto intend and believe that each provision in this Agreement comports with all applicable local, state and federal laws and judicial decisions. 

27






However, if any provision in this Agreement is found by a court of law to be in violation of any applicable local, state or federal law, statute, ordinance, administrative or judicial decision, or public policy, or if in any other respect such a court declares any such provision to be illegal, invalid, unlawful, void or unenforceable as written, then it is the intent of all parties hereto that, consistent with and with a view towards preserving the economic and legal arrangements among the parties hereto as expressed in this Agreement, such provision shall be given force and effect to the fullest possible extent, and that the remainder of this Agreement shall be construed as if such illegal, invalid, unlawful, void or unenforceable provision were not contained herein, and that the rights, obligations and interests of the parties under the remainder of this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect.
9.18    Exclusivity.  From and after the Effective Date, Seller and its respective agents, representatives and employees shall immediately cease all marketing of the Property until such time as this Agreement is terminated and Seller shall not directly or indirectly make, accept, negotiate, entertain or otherwise pursue any offers for the sale of the Property. 
9.19    Section 1031 Exchange.  Either party may consummate the purchase or sale of the Property as part of a so-called like kind exchange (an “Exchange”) pursuant to Section 1031 of the Code, provided that (i) the Closing shall not be delayed or affected by reason of an Exchange nor shall the consummation or accomplishment of any Exchange be a condition precedent or condition subsequent to a party’s obligations under this Agreement; (ii) any party desiring an Exchange shall effect its Exchange through an assignment of this Agreement, or its rights under this Agreement, to a qualified intermediary and the other party shall not be required to take an assignment of the purchase agreement for the relinquished or replacement property or be required to acquire or hold title to any real property for purposes of consummating such Exchange; and (iii) the party desiring an Exchange shall pay any additional costs that would not otherwise have been incurred by Buyer or Seller had such party not consummated its purchase or sale through an Exchange.  Neither party shall by this agreement or acquiescence to an Exchange desired by the other party (1) have its rights under this Agreement affected or diminished in any manner or (2) be responsible for compliance with or be deemed to have warranted to the other party that such party’s Exchange in fact complies with Section 1031 of the Code.  In connection with such cooperation, Seller agrees, upon request of Buyer to “direct deed” for actual interests in the property to designees of Buyer.
9.20    Buyer’s Disclosures.  Seller acknowledges that it is Buyer’s intention that the ultimate acquirer be a subsidiary of a corporation that is or intends to qualify as a real estate investment trust and that, as such, it is subject to certain filing and reporting requirements in accordance with federal laws and regulations, including but not limited to, regulations promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Accordingly, and notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement or the provisions of any other existing agreement between the parties hereto to the contrary, Buyer may publically file, disclose, report or publish any and all information related to this transaction that may be reasonably interpreted as being required by federal law or regulation.
9.21    Seller Guarantor.  Seller Guarantor joins in this Agreement for the purpose of guarantying compliance by Seller with all obligations of Seller contained in (i) this Agreement and (ii) the documents to be signed at Closing (collectively, the “Seller Obligations”).  Seller 

28






Guarantor agrees to be jointly and severally responsible for all of the Seller Obligations.  The liability of Seller Guarantor under this Agreement shall in no way be limited or impaired by, and Seller Guarantor hereby consents to and agrees to be bound by, any amendment or modification of the provisions of this Agreement.  Seller Guarantor represents and warrants to Buyer that:  Seller Guarantor is a limited liability company validly formed in the State of North Carolina.  Seller Guarantor has full power and authority to enter into the obligations set forth in this Section 9.20, to perform the obligations set forth in this Section 9.20, and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.  The execution, delivery and performance of the obligations set forth in this Section 9.20 and all documents contemplated hereby by Seller Guarantor have been duly and validly authorized by all necessary action on the part of Seller Guarantor.  All required consents and approvals have been duly obtained and will not result in a breach of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under any indenture, agreement or instrument to which Seller Guarantor is a party.  This Agreement is a legal, valid and binding obligation of Seller Guarantor, enforceable against Seller Guarantor in accordance with its terms, subject to the effect of applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, moratorium or other similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally.
