Within five (5) days after the Effective Date, Seller shall deliver to Lincoln Property Company (at the address indicated in Section 13 below), for Purchaser’s benefit, all of the materials described on Exhibit "E" hereto.  In addition, Seller shall deliver to Lincoln Property Company, for Purchaser’s benefit, within five (5) days after a specific request by Purchaser in writing, any other documents or other information in the actual possession of Seller or its agents pertaining to the 

3




Project.  All such information delivered or required to be delivered to or for Purchaser’s benefit hereunder shall be hereinafter referred to as the "Property Information".  Seller shall have an ongoing obligation during the pendency of this Agreement to provide Purchaser with any type of document or instrument described in Exhibit "E" which is created or modified in any respect after the commencement of the Inspection Period.  All due diligence costs including, without limitation, all costs of building and site inspections, engineering, environmental and/or other reports or inspections undertaken by Purchaser, shall be paid for by Purchaser.
3.2    From and after the Effective Date and for so long as this Agreement remains in effect, Seller, upon notice, will provide Purchaser or its designated representatives access to the Property at reasonable times to conduct, at Purchaser's sole cost and expense, its due diligence with respect to the Project as well as speak and meet with representatives of the Tenants; provided that, (i) such access shall be coordinated with a representative of Seller and accompanied by a representative of Seller, (ii) any entry into any Tenant's space shall be subject to the terms of such Tenant's Lease, (iii) Purchaser shall indemnify, defend and hold Seller harmless from and against all claims for costs, expenses, losses, damages and/or liabilities (collectively "Purchaser Indemnified Claims") asserted against Seller or a Tenant arising from Purchaser's due diligence activities on or about the Property, excluding from the foregoing indemnity any Purchaser Indemnified Claims relating to pre-existing conditions and/or the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Seller or any of Seller's agents or representatives, (iv) Purchaser shall promptly repair any damage resulting from any such activities and restore the Property to its condition immediately prior to such activities, (v) Purchaser shall fully comply with all applicable laws, ordinances, rules and regulations (collectively, the "Legal Requirements"), and (vi) Purchaser shall not permit any inspections, investigations or other due diligence activities to result in any liens, judgments or other encumbrances being filed against the Property and shall, at its sole cost and expense, as promptly as possible but in no event more than ninety (90) days, discharge of record any such liens or encumbrances that are so filed or recorded.  Purchaser's liabilities under this Section 3 shall survive the Closing or earlier termination of this Agreement.
3.3    On or before the expiration of the Inspection Period, Purchaser will have the right in its sole and absolute discretion to terminate this Agreement by giving written notice of termination to Seller.  In the event Purchaser fails to timely exercise Purchaser’s right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 3.3 or pursuant to any other Section that refers to this Section 3.3, Purchaser shall be deemed for all purposes to have accepted the Property and the Project and have waived any rights it has to terminate this Agreement save and except for a failure of Seller to close hereunder as required by Sections 10 and 11 or for the rights to terminate pursuant to Sections 4.2, 15, 16 and 22.  In the event Purchaser timely exercises its right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 3.3 or pursuant to any other Section that refers to this Section 3.3, (a) Purchaser shall receive a full return of the Deposit, (b) except for obligations that this Agreement expressly states survive termination, neither party shall have any further rights against the other hereunder, and (c) if requested by Seller within ten (10) days after the effective date of the termination of this Agreement, Purchaser shall promptly return to Seller all due diligence materials that Seller may have delivered to Purchaser (together with any copies made by Purchaser or its agents) pursuant to this Section 3, which obligation of Purchaser shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

Section 4.    Title.
4.1    Purchaser shall accept good and indefeasible fee simple title to the Property subject only to the Permitted Exceptions (hereinafter defined in Section 4.1.1).
4.1.1.    Seller will promptly order, if it has not previously done so, a title insurance commitment ("Title Commitment") to be issued by the Title Company and an ALTA/ACSM "as-built" survey of the Property ("Survey") certified to the Title Company, Purchaser, Seller and Purchaser's lender (to the extent identified to Seller).  The Survey may be an update of Seller’s existing survey of the Property, provided the Survey, as so updated, constitutes an ALTA/ACSM “as built” survey, is dated a current date not earlier than the Effective Date and is certified as of such current date to the Title Company, Purchaser, Seller and Purchaser’s lender.  Seller will cause copies of the Title Commitment, all documents of record which are listed as exceptions in the Title Commitment and the Survey (collectively, the "Title Materials") to be delivered to Purchaser on or before the date that is ten (10) days after the Effective Date.  Before the earlier of (i) ten (10) days after Purchaser's receipt of all of the Title Materials, or (ii) ten (10) days prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period ("Title Review Period"), Purchaser shall furnish Seller with a written statement of objections, if any, to title to the Property ("Objections").  If an update or endorsement to the Title Commitment delivered to Purchaser or a revision to the Survey ("Title/Survey Update") discloses a title or Survey matter that was not disclosed in the Title Commitment, on the Survey or in a previous Title/Survey Update, Purchaser may deliver to Seller, within five (5) days following Purchaser's receipt of the Title/Survey Update ("Title/Survey Update Review Period"), a written Objection to such defect first disclosed on the Title/Survey Update accompanied by a copy of the Title/Survey Update.  Purchaser shall be deemed to have agreed to accept title subject to all matters reflected in the Title Commitment and any Title/Survey Update and to the state of facts shown on the Survey, other than Objections that have been timely given and provided that, in no event shall Purchaser be deemed to have agreed to accept title subject to (i) monetary liens, encumbrances or security interests against Seller and/or the Property (for purposes of this clause (i), the REAs shall not be deemed encumbrances, extent to the extent of any liens for assessments, association fees or other charges payable under the terms of one or more of the REAs which are delinquent); (ii) encumbrances that have been voluntarily placed against the Property by Seller after the Effective Date without Purchaser's prior written consent and that will not otherwise be satisfied on or before the Closing; or (iii) exceptions that can be removed from the Title Commitment by Seller's delivery of a customary owner's title certificate (all of the foregoing hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Seller's Required Removal Items").  All title matters and exceptions set forth in the Title Commitment and any Title/Survey Update and the state of facts shown on the Survey which are not Objections, or which are thereafter deemed to be accepted or waived by Purchaser as hereinafter provided, other than the Seller's Required Removal Items, are hereafter referred to as the "Permitted Exceptions".
4.1.2.    If Purchaser notifies Seller within the Title Review Period or the Title/Survey Update Review Period, as applicable, of Objections, then within five (5) business days after Seller's receipt of Purchaser's notice, Seller shall notify Purchaser in writing ("Seller's Title Response Notice") of the Objections which Seller agrees to satisfy at or prior to the Closing (such Objections which Seller agrees to satisfy, if any, being referred to as the “Seller’s Required Cure Items”), at Seller's sole cost and expense, and of the Objections that Seller cannot or will not satisfy.  Failure 

5




by Seller to respond to Purchaser by the expiration of said five (5) day response period shall be deemed as Seller's election not to cure the Objections raised by Purchaser.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall, in any event, be obligated to satisfy Seller's Required Removal Items.  If Seller chooses not to satisfy all or any of the Objections that Seller is not obligated to satisfy, Seller shall notify Purchaser thereof within the allowed five (5) day period, then Purchaser shall have the option to be exercised within five (5) days following Purchaser's receipt of the Seller's Title Response Notice of either (i) terminating this Agreement by giving written notice of termination to Seller, whereupon the rights of the parties shall be as set forth in Section 3.3 hereof or (ii) electing to consummate the purchase of the Project, in which case Purchaser shall be deemed to have waived such Objections and such Objections shall become "Permitted Exceptions" for all purposes hereunder.  Failure by Purchaser to respond to Seller by the expiration of said five (5) business day response period shall be deemed its election to waive the applicable Objection(s), which shall become "Permitted Exceptions".  If, at or prior to the Closing, Seller is unable or unwilling to satisfy any of the Seller’s Required Cure Items, Purchaser shall have the option of either (i) terminating this Agreement by giving written notice of termination to Seller, whereupon the rights of the parties shall be as set forth in Section 3.3 hereof and Seller shall be obligated to reimburse Purchaser for its actual out-of-pocket costs and expenses in connection with its investigation of the Property and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in an amount not to exceed $50,000.00, or (ii) closing this transaction in accordance with the terms and provisions hereof and accepting title in its then existing condition with all matters set forth in the Title Commitment or on the Survey (other than Seller's Required Removal Items and Objections that Seller has actually cured) being deemed to be Permitted Exceptions.  
4.1.3.    It is a condition to Purchaser's obligation to close that the Title Company shall issue an Owners Policy of Title Insurance (Texas Form T-1 (Rev. 2/1/2010)) to Purchaser in the amount of the Purchase Price, insuring that Purchaser has good and indefeasible fee simple title to the Property, subject only to the Permitted Exceptions, showing that all requirements applicable to Seller have been satisfied, deleting all standard or general exceptions (including the standard survey exception and the standard parties in possession exception), showing that all taxes and assessments, which are due have been paid, and containing the endorsements (or revisions to Schedule B, as applicable) listed below (collectively, the "Title Policy"): access endorsement (T-23), survey modification (P-2), restrictions, encroachments, and minerals endorsement (T-19.1), Minerals and Surface Damage Endorsement (T-19.3), contiguity endorsement (T-25) (as applicable) and arbitration deletion.  The cost of the basic premium for the Title Policy shall be paid by Seller and the costs for all such endorsements to the Title Policy shall be paid by Purchaser.
4.2    In the event that Seller shall be unable or unwilling to remove and/or cure all of the Seller’s Required Removal Items and the Seller’s Required Cure Items, Seller shall provide Purchaser and the Title Company with a notice of such inability or unwillingness, and Purchaser shall have twenty (20) days from receipt of such notice in which to either (a) accept such title as Seller is able to convey without abatement or reduction of the Purchase Price (with all matters set forth in the Title Commitment or on the Survey [other than Seller's Required Removal Items and Objections that Seller has actually cured] being deemed to be Permitted Exceptions) or (b) terminate this Agreement, whereupon the rights of the parties shall be as set forth in Section 3.3 hereof and Seller shall be obligated to reimburse Purchaser for its actual out-of-pocket costs and expenses in 

6




connection with its investigation of the Property and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in an amount not to exceed $50,000.00.  Except as provided above, Seller shall have no obligation or liability to Purchaser for any damages or other compensation which Purchaser may have sustained by reason of Seller's inability to convey title in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained, Seller shall not be required to bring any action or proceeding or take any other steps to remove any defects in or objections to title or to expend any monies therefor; provided, however, Seller shall be required to satisfy Seller's Required Removal Items.
Section 5.    Closing Date.  Provided that all of the conditions to Purchaser's obligation to close shall be satisfied, the sale contemplated by this Agreement shall be consummated and closed through an escrow arrangement with the Title Company on the date that is the earlier to occur of (i) the date that is designated by Purchaser as the closing date in a written notice to Seller delivered not less than five (5) days prior to such designated closing date, or (ii) the date that is thirty (30) days following the expiration of the Inspection Period, or such earlier or later date upon which the parties may mutually agree ("Closing Date"), including for any extensions provided for Seller to cure objections.  The terms and conditions of such escrow arrangement shall be consistent with the terms of this Agreement and shall otherwise be reasonably acceptable to Seller, Purchaser and the Title Company.  The consummation and the closing of the purchase and sale of the Project as contemplated by this Agreement are herein referred to as the "Closing".
Section 6.    "AS IS".  Purchaser shall make such investigations and inspections of the Project and the books and records relating thereto as allowed herein to satisfy itself as to all matters relating to its purchase of the Project.  Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein, Purchaser shall purchase the Project "AS IS, WHERE IS AND WITH ALL FAULTS", at the Effective Date, subject to normal wear and tear until Closing and subject to casualty damage as herein provided.  
This Agreement and the Exhibits and Schedules attached hereto contain all the terms of the agreement entered into between the parties, and Purchaser acknowledges that neither Seller nor any representatives of Seller has made any representations or held out any inducements to Purchaser, other than those herein expressed.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Purchaser has not relied on any representations or warranties (and neither Seller nor its representatives made any representations or warranties) other than as expressly set forth herein, in either case express or implied, as to (i) the current or future real estate tax liability, assessment or valuation of the Property; (ii) the potential qualification of the Property for any and all benefits conferred by federal, state or municipal laws, whether for subsidies, special real estate tax treatment, insurance, mortgages, or any other benefits, whether similar or dissimilar to those enumerated; (iii) the availability of any financing for the purchase, alteration, rehabilitation or operation of the Property from any source, including but not limited to, state, city, or federal government or any institutional lender; (iv) the physical condition of the Property; or (v) compliance with any applicable law, rule or regulation, building code, zoning code and Environmental Law (defined in Section 8.1.14).
Nothing in this Section 6 shall be deemed to limit (i) Seller's liability as expressly provided in this Agreement with respect to Seller's representations, warranties, covenants and indemnities that survive the Closing or (ii) Seller's liability under the documents executed and delivered by Seller at the Closing.

7




The representations and warranties made by Seller in Sections 6 or 8 hereof, as the same may be modified hereunder, shall survive the Closing of this Agreement and the passage of title to the Property from Seller to Purchaser.  Any claim asserted by the Purchaser against Seller for breach of a representation or warranty in Sections 6 or 8 shall be asserted by Purchaser by written notice received by Seller within one (1) year from and after the Closing Date; provided, however, that any lawsuit filed in relation to such claim must be filed within seven hundred thirty-three (733) days after the Closing Date.  For purposes of this Section 6 or Section 8, the term "survival" shall mean that the aggrieved party shall only be entitled to pursue a legal claim or cause of action against the other party pursuant to any of such representations to the extent such representation was false as of the Effective Date or the Closing Date, as applicable, such aggrieved party was thereby damaged and files a suit with respect to any legal claim relative to such alleged breach on or before the expiration of the survival period herein indicated.
Section 7.    Satisfaction of Liens.  If at the Closing there are any liens on the Property which Seller or Purchaser is obligated under the terms of this Agreement to pay and discharge, Seller or Purchaser, as the case may be, shall have the right to instruct the Title Company to use any cash portion of the Purchase Price to satisfy the same, if the obligation is that of Seller, or if the obligation is that of Purchaser, Purchaser shall provide the additional funds necessary to satisfy the same at or before Closing.  Provided that Seller shall have delivered to the Title Company at or before the Closing acceptable pay-off letters from any lien holders verifying the amounts to be paid at Closing to satisfy and release such liens of record, and Seller authorizes the Title Company to use the Purchase Price (or a portion thereof) to pay such liens, then the existence of any such liens to be satisfied and released out of the Purchase Price shall not be deemed Objections to title.
Section 8.    Representations, Warranties and Covenants.
8.1    Seller hereby represents, warrants and covenants as of the Effective Date and as of the Closing as follows:

Seller shall not be deemed to have breached any of the foregoing representations and warranties to the extent that changes have occurred between the Effective Date and Closing which are expressly permitted pursuant to the provisions of Section 9 and Purchaser shall have been advised in writing of such changes. Seller covenants to promptly inform Purchaser of any such changes.  For example, any new Leases or Lease amendments entered into between the Effective Date and Closing shall not violate Section 8.1.5 hereof as long as they comply with Section 9.3.
Seller agrees that Purchaser shall be entitled to rely upon the foregoing representations and warranties made by Seller herein as a material inducement to enter into the transactions contemplated hereby and that Purchaser has so relied.  Such representations and warranties are true, correct and complete on the date hereof and on the Closing Date, to the extent of Seller's knowledge and belief.  For the purposes hereof, the terms "to the extent of Seller's knowledge and belief," "to Seller's actual knowledge," "to Seller's knowledge," or similar qualifying phrases shall mean the actual, not constructive, knowledge of David Watson, an officer of Seller, and Dan Corley, Seller’s property manager, in their respective capacities as an officer and property manager of Seller, and not individually, and not otherwise; and shall, furthermore, not impose any requirement upon such officers, asset managers or property managers to undertake any independent investigation.  In addition, the person acting for the Seller is acting as an officer and agent of the Seller, and in no manner, expressly or impliedly, is making any of the representations contained herein as an individual.  
To the extent that Seller becomes aware of any matter which is either the subject of this Section 8 or Section 6 that would make the representation or warranty given inaccurate or incomplete in any material respect, Seller shall promptly notify Purchaser of the existence of the fact or condition which would cause the representation or warranty in question to require modification.  At such time, Purchaser shall, at its election, either (i) accept such modified representation or warranty as Seller may then give, and close hereunder, waiving its rights to object to the matter or matters which are the subject of the aforesaid modification or deletion, or (ii) to the extent that the matter or matters in question constitute a material change to the representations or warranties being sought to be modified or deleted, exercise its rights to terminate this Agreement, whereupon the Deposit shall be returned to Purchaser, and neither party hereto shall have any further liability one to the other, save and except for matters which expressly survive a termination hereunder.  Should Purchaser elect to accept a modified representation or warranty and close, by such election, Purchaser shall expressly acknowledge that it has waived any objection to the matters which are the subject of any such modification, amendment or deletion.  Purchaser's obligations to close hereunder are conditioned upon all of Seller's representations and warranties being true and correct in all material respects as permitted to be modified hereby.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if prior to Closing, Purchaser has actual knowledge that any representation or warranty of Seller set forth in this Agreement including, without limitation, in Sections 6 or 8, is not true, and nevertheless Purchaser proceeds to close the transaction, then Purchaser shall be deemed to have irrevocably and unconditionally waived its rights to assert any claim against Seller after the Closing with respect to any misrepresentation of which it had knowledge prior to the Closing.  For purposes of the immediately preceding sentence, the actual knowledge of Purchaser shall mean the actual, not constructive, knowledge of Stephen G. Seitz or Robert Dozier.

12




8.2    Purchaser hereby warrants and represents for the sole, exclusive and limited benefit of Seller as of the Effective Date and as of the Closing, as follows:
(a)    Purchaser is and will continue at all times to be until the Closing an entity, duly and validly existing in the state of its formation.

(c)    Neither the execution of this Agreement nor the carrying out by Purchaser of the transactions contemplated herein will result in any violation of or be in conflict with the instruments pursuant to which Purchaser was organized and/or operates, or any applicable law, rule or regulation of any Governmental Authority, or of any instrument or agreement to which Purchaser is a party and no consent or approval of any third party is required for the execution of this Agreement by Purchaser or the carrying out by Purchaser of the transactions contemplated herein.
Section 9.    Operation of Property to Closing; Exclusivity.

9.2    Seller covenants on or prior to the Closing to pay or satisfy all commissions or referral fees with respect to all Leases listed on Schedule "1.5" hereto.  Seller shall also pay or satisfy, or make arrangements to pay or satisfy, any commission or referral fee with respect to any new Lease hereafter consented to in writing by Purchaser pursuant to the provisions of Section 9.3 hereof.  The provisions of this Section shall survive Closing.
9.3    From the Effective Date until the Closing or sooner termination of this Agreement, Seller shall not enter into any new Lease without the prior written or deemed approval of Purchaser (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) nor shall it amend, modify, extend or terminate any Lease or grant any rent abatement or concessions to existing tenants without the prior written or deemed approval of Purchaser (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) unless such new Lease, renewal of a Lease or amendment, modification or termination or rent abatement or concession is expressly provided for in an existing Lease as of the Effective Date and Seller provides Purchaser with written notice of its intent to amend, modify, extend or terminate such Lease.  Seller shall notify Purchaser of any proposed amendment, modification or termination of a Lease or any proposed new Lease in writing, including the identity of the proposed tenant, together with a summary of the terms thereof in reasonable detail, and Purchaser shall notify Seller in writing within five (5) business days of receipt of its consent thereto or of any objections thereto together with the reasons therefor.  In the event Purchaser shall not notify Seller whether or not Purchaser consents to any such amendment, modification or termination of a Lease or any such new Lease within five (5) business days following Purchaser's receipt of Seller's notification thereof, such amendment, modification or termination of a Lease or such new Lease shall be deemed approved by Purchaser.  Between the Effective Date and Closing or the earlier termination of this Agreement, Seller will not, without obtaining Purchaser's prior written consent thereto, consent to any request by a Tenant for permission to assign its Lease or sublet its leased premises (or any part thereof) to the extent Seller, as landlord, has the right to approve or consent to such assignment or subletting and, to the extent the withholding of any such approval or consent by Seller, as landlord, under the applicable Lease would not cause Seller to be in violation of the terms of such Lease.
9.4    From the Effective Date until the Closing or sooner termination of this Agreement, Seller agrees that neither Seller nor any agent, partner or subsidiary or affiliate of Seller shall be permitted to accept or entertain offers, negotiate, solicit interest or otherwise enter into discussions involving the sale, joint venture, financing, disposition or other transaction involving the Property.

Section 14.    Prorations and Costs.
14.1    Prorations.  Purchaser and Seller shall apportion as of 11:59 p.m. (Dallas, Texas time) on the day preceding the Closing, the items hereinafter set forth.  Any errors or omissions in computing apportionments at Closing shall be promptly corrected.  The obligations set forth in this Section 14 shall survive the Closing.  The items to be adjusted are:
14.1.1.    city, state, county, school, ad valorem taxes and other assessments for the fiscal year of sale; should such proration be inaccurate based on the actual millage set forth on the ad valorem tax bill if the current tax bill has not been received by the date of the Closing, either party may demand after the date of Closing, that such taxes and assessments be reprorated based on the actual bill and shall be entitled to receive upon demand, any amount owing to such party based on such reproration;
14.1.2.    all base rent, percentage rent and additional rent and similar charges (collectively, the "Rent") to the extent collected by Seller. To the extent that Seller receives Rent after the Closing, the same shall be immediately applied in accordance with the terms of this Section 14.1.2 and, if applicable, delivered to Purchaser.  Any Rent from a Tenant after the Closing shall be applied in the following order of priority:
(1)    First, to any rents then owing for any calendar month or months following the calendar month in which the Closing occurred; and
(2)    Second, to the rents owing for the calendar month in which the Closing occurred; and
(3)    Third, to rents owing for any calendar month or months preceding the calendar month in which the Closing occurred until the Tenant, under the applicable Lease, is current.
For a period of one hundred eighty (180) days after the Closing, Purchaser shall bill Tenants for all amounts due under their Leases accruing prior to the Closing (including, without limitation, base rent, additional rent, percentage rent or other Tenant charges for the year 2011) and shall use reasonable efforts to collect from Tenants any base rent, additional rent, percentage rent or other tenant charges owing with respect to the period prior to the Closing.  To the extent delinquent amounts for base rents, additional rents, percentage rents and other tenant charges for the period prior to the Closing ("Delinquent Rents") are collected by Purchaser, subject to clauses 1, 2 and 3 above, such amounts, net of reasonable costs of collection, including without limitation, reasonable attorney's fees, shall be paid to Seller no later than thirty (30) days following the date on which such amounts have been received by Purchaser or its agent.  Purchaser shall not be obligated to expend any funds or commence legal proceedings to collect any Delinquent Rents.  In no event shall Seller commence any legal proceedings against any Tenant after the Closing with respect to any Delinquent Rents.
At Closing, percentage rents shall be separately apportioned based on the percentage rents actually collected by Seller.  Such apportionment shall be made separately for each Tenant who is obligated to pay percentage rent on the basis of the fiscal year set forth in the Tenant's Lease for the determination and payment of percentage rent.  Any percentage rent received from a Tenant 

20




after the Closing shall be applied as follows:  (a) Purchaser shall be entitled to a prorata portion of such percentage rent payment based on the number of days within the applicable percentage rent fiscal year period that Purchaser owned the Project and (b) Seller shall be entitled to a prorata portion of such percentage rent payment based on the number of days within the applicable percentage rent period that Seller owned the Project.  
No later than March 1, 2013 (the "Final Adjustment Date"), Seller and Purchaser shall make a final adjustment in accordance with the provisions of this Section 14.1 of percentage rent and other items of additional rents for which final adjustments or prorations could not be determined at the Closing, if any, because of the lack of actual statements, bills or invoices for the current period, the year end adjustment of common area maintenance, taxes and like items, the unavailability of final sales figures or amounts for percentage rent or any other reason.  Any net adjustment in favor of Purchaser or Seller is to be paid in cash by the other no later than thirty (30) days after such final adjustment has been made.
14.1.3.    To the extent Tenants pay monthly estimates of common area maintenance charges, central plant charges, taxes and similar expenses (collectively, "Charges") with an adjustment at the end of each fiscal year applicable to Charges, they shall be prorated in accordance with this Section 14.1.3.  Until the adjustment described in this Section 14.1.3 is made, all amounts received by Seller as interim payments of Charges before the Closing Date shall be retained by Seller, except that all interim payments received by either party for the month in which the Closing Date occurs shall be prorated as between Seller and Purchaser based upon the number of days in that month and the party receiving the interim payment shall remit to (if received on or after the Closing Date) or credit (if received before the Closing Date) the other party its proportionate share.  All amounts received by Purchaser as interim payments of Charges on or after the Closing Date shall be retained by Purchaser until year end adjustment and determination of Seller's allocable share thereof except to the extent provided in Section 14.1.2 above.  No later than the Final Adjustment Date, Seller's allocable share of actual Charges for Leases in effect as of the Closing Date shall be determined by multiplying the total payments due from each Tenant for such fiscal year (the sum of estimated payments plus or minus year end adjustments) by a fraction, the numerator of which is Seller's actual cost of providing common area maintenance services and taxes (as the case may be) prior to the Closing Date (within that portion of the fiscal year in which the Closing Date occurs in which the applicable Lease is in effect), and the denominator of which is the cost of providing such services and paying such taxes for the entire fiscal year (or that portion of the fiscal year in which the applicable Lease is in effect).  If, on the basis of amounts actually incurred and the estimated payments received by Seller prior to the Closing Date, Seller has retained amounts in excess of its allocable share, it shall remit, within thirty (30) days after notice from Purchaser of the excess owed Purchaser, such excess to Purchaser.  If, on the basis of the foregoing amounts, Seller has retained less than its allocable share, Purchaser shall remit, within thirty (30) days after notice from Seller of the amount owed Seller, such amount to Seller to the extent received from the Tenants of the Property.
14.1.4.    All other income and all operating expenses of the Project for the assumed Contracts and public utility charges and charges and/or payments under the REAs with respect to the Project shall be prorated at the Closing effective as of the Closing Date, and appropriate cash adjustments shall be made by Purchaser and Seller.  Seller and Purchaser shall cooperate to 

21




arrange for final utility readings as close to the Closing Date as possible and the issuance of a final bill to Seller with Purchaser being designated the billing party in lieu of Seller for all utilities that may be in the name of Seller from and after the Closing Date.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the management agreement and leasing agreement, if any, for the Property shall be terminated as of the Closing Date and there shall be no apportionment of any fees or charges thereunder.
14.1.5.    At Closing, any prepaid rents attributable to periods from and after the Closing Date and security deposits under the Leases (together with any interest accrued thereon) shall be transferred to Purchaser either directly or by way of a credit in favor of Purchaser.
14.1.6.    If, at Closing, the Property or any part thereof shall have been affected by an assessment or assessments, which are or may become payable in annual installments, of which the first installment is then a charge or lien, then for the purposes of this Agreement, all the unpaid installments of any such assessment due and payable in calendar years prior to the year in which the Closing occurs shall be paid by Seller and all installments becoming due and payable after the Closing shall be assumed and paid by Purchaser, except, however, that any installments which are due and payable in the calendar year in which the Closing occurs shall be adjusted pro rata.  However, if such an assessment or assessments shall be due in one lump sum payment, then to the extent such assessment(s) is for improvements in place as of the date of this Agreement, then such assessment(s) shall be paid by Seller but if such assessment(s) is for improvements to be made subsequent to the date of Closing, then the same shall be paid by Purchaser.  
14.1.7.    To the extent at Closing there are any unpaid tenant improvement allowances or brokers' commissions ("Unpaid TI/LC") for Leases entered into prior to the Effective Date (including with respect to the lease with Liberty Mutual Insurance Company entered into on or about March 1, 2012), Seller shall credit Purchaser the estimated amount of Unpaid TI/LC at Closing, and Purchaser shall thereafter be obligated to pay directly to the applicable parties the applicable amounts from the Unpaid TI/LC credited to Purchaser.  To the extent the credit provided to Purchaser at Closing for any Unpaid TI/LC shall be less than the actual amount of such Unpaid TI/LC, Seller shall be obligated to pay Purchaser the difference promptly following the final determination of the Unpaid TI/LC.  To the extent the credit provided to Purchaser at Closing for any Unpaid TI/LC is more than the actual amount of such Unpaid TI/LC, Purchaser shall be obligated to pay Seller the difference promptly following the final determination of the Unpaid TI/LC.  
14.2    Purchaser's Costs.  Purchaser will pay:
14.2.1.    The fees and disbursements of Purchaser's counsel, inspecting architect, engineer, environmental consultant and other consultants, if any;
14.2.2.    One-half (1/2) of any closing escrow fees of the Title Company and one-half (1/2) of recording fees;
14.2.3.    The cost of all premiums for any endorsements, modifications or deletions to the Title Policy requested by Purchaser; and
14.2.4.    Any costs relating to any financing obtained by Purchaser (including, without limitation, any mortgage taxes and any additional title premiums (in excess of what Seller 

22




is obligated to pay under Section 14.3.4) resulting from obtaining a loan title policy.
14.3    Seller's Costs.  Seller will pay:
14.3.1.    The fees and disbursements of Seller's counsel;
14.3.2.    One-half (1/2) of any closing escrow fees of the Title Company;
14.3.3.    The cost of the Survey;
14.3.4.    The cost of the basic premium for the Title Policy;
14.3.5.    The cost of releasing all liens, judgments and other encumbrances that are to be released under this Agreement and of recording such releases; 
14.3.6.    The Commission to Broker; and
14.3.7.    One-half (1/2) of any recording fees.
Section 15.    Damage or Destruction Prior to Closing and Condemnation.
15.1    If prior to the Closing the Property is damaged or destroyed, but not materially damaged or destroyed, by fire or other casualty, Purchaser shall be required to perform this Agreement and shall be entitled to the net casualty insurance proceeds payable to Seller with respect thereto under the policies of insurance maintained by Seller and a credit against the Purchase Price in the amount of the applicable deductible under such policy(ies).  If the Property is materially damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty, Purchaser may terminate this Agreement on written notice to Seller given within ten (10) business days after receiving notice of the occurrence of such fire or casualty.  If Purchaser shall exercise such option to terminate, it shall be deemed that Purchaser terminated this Agreement pursuant to Section 3.3 and the rights of the parties shall be as set forth therein.  If Purchaser does not exercise such option to terminate, this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with its terms and Purchaser shall be entitled to the net casualty insurance proceeds with respect thereto under the policies of insurance maintained by Seller and a credit against the Purchase Price in the amount of the applicable deductible under such policy(ies).  In the event of any damage by fire or other casualty, the determination as to whether such damage or destruction is material in cost shall be made by an engineer or contractor mutually agreed upon by Seller and Purchaser.  For purposes hereof, the Project shall be deemed "materially damaged or destroyed" if (i) the cost of repair and restoration of such damage or destruction as estimated by the engineer or contractor selected by Seller and Purchaser is greater than $1,000,000.00 in the case of an insured casualty and $250,000.00 in the case of an uninsured casualty, or (ii) if such damage or destruction will entitle any Tenant occupying greater than 5,000 square feet to terminate its Lease or abate its rent in whole for a period in excess of one hundred eighty (180) days.  If prior to Closing the Property is damaged or destroyed and such damage or destruction is not covered by insurance, and Purchaser does not elect to terminate the Agreement as provided above, Purchaser shall be entitled to a credit against the Purchase Price for the cost of repair and restoration of such damage or destruction as estimated by the engineer or contractor selected by Seller and Purchaser, not to exceed $250,000.00. 

23




15.2    In the event proceedings to condemn the Property or any portion thereof are commenced before the Closing, Purchaser shall have the right to terminate this Agreement in which event it shall be deemed that Purchaser terminated this Agreement pursuant to Section 3.3 hereof and the rights of the parties shall be as set forth therein.  In the event Purchaser does not elect to terminate this Agreement, Seller shall assign to Purchaser, at the Closing, all of Seller's rights, title and interest in and to any condemnation proceeds payable with respect to the Property or grant Purchaser a credit against the Purchase Price equal to the amount of any condemnation award paid to Seller. 
Section 16.    Remedies.
16.1    IF THE SALE IS NOT CONSUMMATED DUE TO ANY DEFAULT BY PURCHASER HEREUNDER, THEN SELLER, AS ITS SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY FOR PURCHASER'S DEFAULT, SUBJECT, HOWEVER, TO THE TERMS OF SECTION 18.2 BELOW, SHALL RETAIN THE DEPOSIT, AS LIQUIDATED DAMAGES, THE PARTIES HAVING AGREED THAT SELLER'S ACTUAL DAMAGES, IN THE EVENT OF A FAILURE TO CONSUMMATE THIS SALE DUE TO PURCHASER'S DEFAULT, WOULD BE EXTREMELY DIFFICULT OR IMPRACTICABLE TO DETERMINE.  AFTER NEGOTIATION, THE PARTIES HAVE AGREED THAT, CONSIDERING ALL THE CIRCUMSTANCES EXISTING ON THE DATE OF THIS AGREEMENT, THE AMOUNT OF THE DEPOSIT IS A REASONABLE ESTIMATE OF THE DAMAGES THAT SELLER WOULD INCUR IN SUCH EVENT.  EACH PARTY WAS REPRESENTED BY COUNSEL WHO EXPLAINED, AT THE TIME THIS AGREEMENT WAS MADE, THE CONSEQUENCES OF THIS LIQUIDATED DAMAGES PROVISION.  THE FOREGOING SHALL BE DEEMED TO BE SELLER'S UNCONDITIONAL AND IRREVOCABLE ELECTION OF A REMEDY FOR A DEFAULT BY PURCHASER UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OTHER THAN FOR OBLIGATIONS OR INDEMNITIES OF PURCHASER WHICH SURVIVE A TERMINATION OR CLOSING HEREUNDER.
16.2    Subject to the provisions of the last sentence of this Section 16.2, if Seller shall default in its obligations under this Agreement or if there shall be a breach discovered by Purchaser before Closing of any of Seller's representations or warranties that has a material and adverse effect on Seller and/or the Project, the parties hereto agree that Purchaser's sole remedies shall be limited either (a) to the termination of this Agreement as set forth in Section 3.3 hereof, or (b) to specific performance of this Agreement.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the event that Seller willfully and intentionally defaults in its obligations under this Agreement for the intended purpose of preventing Purchaser from purchasing the Project and if specific performance is not a commercially reasonable available remedy, Purchaser shall have the right to terminate this Agreement as set forth in Section 3.3 hereof and, in addition, recover from Seller Purchaser's actual out-of-pocket costs and expenses in an amount not to exceed $50,000 in connection with its investigation of the Property and the transaction contemplated by this Agreement.
16.3    The provisions of Sections 16.1 and 16.2 hereof shall not limit any rights or remedies that either party may have against the other with respect to those provisions of this Agreement that survive Closing or the documents delivered pursuant to Sections 11.1 and 11.3 hereof.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the provisions of Sections 16.1 and 16.2 hereof shall not limit any rights of the parties to recover legal fees as set forth in Section 18.2 hereof. 

24




Section 17.    Reporting Requirements.  Purchaser and Seller shall each deposit such other instruments required to close the escrow and consummate the purchase and sale of the Property in accordance with the terms hereof, including, without limitation, an agreement designating the Title Company as the "Reporting Person" for the transaction pursuant to Section 6045(e) of the Internal Revenue Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder, and executed by Seller, Purchaser and the Title Company, but in no event shall such instruments impose, create or potentially create any liability for Seller or Purchaser not expressly provided for herein.  Such agreement shall comply with the requirements of Section 6045(e) of the Internal Revenue Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder.
Section 18.    Miscellaneous.
18.1    This Agreement constitutes the entire Agreement between the parties and supersedes any other previous agreement, oral or written, between the parties.  This Agreement cannot be changed, modified, waived or terminated orally but only by an agreement in writing signed by the parties hereto.  This Agreement shall be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective heirs, executors, personal representatives and permitted successors and assigns.
18.2    In the event of a default by either party hereto which becomes the subject of litigation, the losing party agrees to pay the reasonable legal fees, court costs and expenses incurred or paid by the prevailing party. For purposes of this Section, a party will be considered to be the "prevailing party" if (a) such party initiated the litigation and substantially obtained the relief which it sought (whether by judgment, voluntary agreement or action of the other party, trial, or alternative dispute resolution process), (b) such party did not initiate the litigation and either (i) received a judgment in its favor, or (ii) did not receive judgment in its favor, but the party receiving the judgment did not substantially obtain the relief which it sought, or (c) the other party to the litigation withdrew its claim or action without having substantially received the relief which it was seeking.  The provision of this Section shall survive the Closing or the termination of this Agreement.
18.3    This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same original, and the execution of separate counterparts by Purchaser and Seller shall bind Purchaser and Seller as if they had each executed the same counterpart.
18.4    This Agreement shall be governed, construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas.  Dallas County, Texas shall be the only proper place for venue for any suit, action or other proceeding brought by either Seller or Purchaser with respect to this Agreement. 
18.5    The headings used in this Agreement are for convenience only and do not constitute substantive matters to be considered in construing same.
18.6    The parties agree that neither this Agreement nor any memorandum or notice thereof shall be recorded.  Should either party record this Agreement or a memorandum or notice hereof in violation of the terms of this Section 18.6, such violation of this Section 18.6 shall be deemed a default by the party recording this Agreement or a memorandum or notice hereof.  

25




18.7    Except as set forth below, this Agreement may not be assigned by Purchaser in whole or in part without the prior written consent of the Seller, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, for any assignment by Purchaser to be effective, Seller, prior to Closing, shall have received an executed copy of each assignment and assumption instrument pursuant to which Purchaser assigns all of its right, title and interest in and to this Agreement to the assignee(s) (including all rights to the Deposit) and the assignee(s) assume and agree to be bound by all of the obligations of Purchaser under this Agreement.  No assignment of this Agreement shall release Purchaser herein.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser shall have the right to assign this Agreement to an entity that is owned or controlled by, or under common ownership or control with, Purchaser, or in which Purchaser or an individual or entity that owns or controls Purchaser or is under common ownership or control with Purchaser is a general partner or managing member.  Further, without limited the generality of the foregoing, Purchaser is entering into this Agreement for and on behalf of a special purpose entity owned or controlled by Purchaser (“Approved Assignee”) and intends, and shall have the right, to assign Approved Assignee its rights under this Agreement prior to the Closing.
18.8    Submission of this form of Agreement for examination shall not bind Seller or Purchaser in any manner nor be construed as an offer to sell and no contract or obligations of Seller or Purchaser shall arise until this Agreement is executed by both Seller and Purchaser and delivery is made to each.
Purchaser and Seller respectively acknowledge that the purchase and sale of the Project contemplated hereby may be part of a separate exchange (an “Exchange”) being made by each party pursuant to Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the regulations promulgated with respect thereto (the “Code”).  In the event that either party (the “Exchanging Party”) desires to effectuate such an exchange, then the other party (the “Non-Exchanging Party”) agrees to reasonably cooperate with the Exchanging Party in order that the Exchanging Party may effectuate such an exchange; provided, however, that with respect to such Exchange (a) all additional costs, fees and expenses related thereto of either the Exchanging Party and the Non-Exchanging Party shall be the sole responsibility of, and borne by, the Exchanging Party; (b) the Non-Exchanging Party shall incur no additional liability as a result of such exchange; (c) the contemplated exchange shall not delay any of the time periods or other obligations of the Exchanging Party hereby, and without limiting the foregoing, the scheduled date for Closing shall not be delayed or adversely affected by reason of the Exchange; (d) the accomplishment of the Exchange shall not be a condition precedent or condition subsequent to the Exchanging Party's obligations under this Agreement; (e) the Non-Exchanging Party shall not be required to hold title to any land other than the Project for purposes of the Exchange; and (f) Seller shall not be obligated to obtain any recertified estoppel certificates, including REA Estoppels and Estoppel Certificates, or have the Survey recertified.  The Exchanging Party agrees to defend, indemnify and hold the Non-Exchanging Party harmless from any and all liability, damage or cost, including, without limitation, reasonable attorney's fees that may result from Non-Exchanging Party's cooperation with the Exchange. The Non-Exchanging Party shall not, by reason of the Exchange, (i) have its rights under this Agreement, including, without limitation, any representations, warranties and covenants made by the Exchanging Party in this Agreement (including but not limited to any warranties of title, which, if Seller is the Exchanging Party, shall remain warranties of Seller), or in any of the closing documents 

26




(including but not limited to any warranties of title, which, if Seller is the Exchanging Party, shall remain warranties of Seller) contemplated hereby, adversely affected or diminished in any manner, or (ii) be responsible for compliance with or deemed to have warranted to the Exchanging Party that the Exchange complies with Section 1031 of the Code.
18.9    Neither Purchaser or Seller, nor any of their affiliates, are in violation of any Anti-Terrorism Law (as hereinafter defined) or engages in or conspires to engage in any transaction that evades or avoids, or has the purpose of evading or avoiding, or attempts to violate, any of the prohibitions set forth in any Anti-Terrorism Law. “Anti-Terrorism Laws” shall mean any laws relating to terrorism or money laundering, including: Executive Order No. 13224; the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001, Public Law 107-56, as the same has been, or may hereafter be, renewed, extended, amended or replaced; the applicable laws comprising or implementing the Bank Secrecy Act; and the applicable laws administered by the United States Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Asset Control (as any of the foregoing may from time to time be amended, renewed, extended, or replaced).
18.10    Each of the parties agrees that upon request from the other party following the Closing and without further consideration, such party shall do, execute, acknowledge and deliver or cause to be done, executed, acknowledged and delivered all such further acts or instruments as shall be reasonably requested by a party in order to effect or carryout the transactions contemplated herein provided same do not impose any obligations or liabilities upon the party not contemplated in this Agreement.  The provisions of this Section 18.9 shall survive the Closing.
18.11    If the final date of any period set forth herein (including, but not limited to, the Closing Date) falls on a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday under the laws of the State of Texas, or the United States of America, the final date of such period shall be extended to the next day that is not a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday.  The term "days" as used herein shall mean calendar days, with the exception of "business days", which term shall mean each day except for any Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday under the laws of the State of Texas or the United States of America.
Section 19.    Confidentiality.  All Property Information provided by Seller or its agents and representatives to Purchaser with respect to the Property ("Confidential Information") shall be treated as confidential information by Purchaser, using the same degree of care with respect to the Confidential Information as Purchaser employs with respect to its own proprietary or confidential information of like importance.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser may disclose Confidential Information (i) to its respective consultants, investors, lenders, appraisers, attorneys, accountants, advisers, and affiliates (collectively, "Related Parties"), provided the Purchaser shall advise each parties of the confidential nature of such information and that such parties are required to maintain the confidentiality thereof, and (ii) to the extent Purchaser is required to disclose the same pursuant to a court order, applicable laws or pursuant to a legal dispute between Purchaser and Seller.  Purchaser and the Related Parties shall not be obligated to keep confidential any Confidential Information that (1) is already in the public domain, (2) is or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure or one of the Related Parties by Purchaser, or (3) is or becomes available to Purchaser on a non-confidential basis from a source other than Seller who, to Purchaser's knowledge, is not subject to a confidentiality agreement with, or other obligation of secrecy to, Seller prohibiting such disclosure.  If this Agreement is terminated for any 

27




reason, Purchaser shall promptly deliver to Seller all Confidential Information it has received from Seller including all copies or certify to Seller that Purchaser has destroyed same; provided, however, Purchaser (x) will be entitled to retain one copy of the Confidential Information for compliance purposes or for the purposes of defending or maintaining litigation or threatened litigation, subject to the continued application of the provisions of this Section and (y) will not be obligated to erase Confidential Information that is contained in an archived computer system made in accordance with its security and/or disaster recovery procedures on the understanding that any such retained Confidential Information shall remain subject to the continued application of the provisions of this Section. Purchaser's obligations under the foregoing provisions of this Section shall terminate on the earlier of (x) twelve months from the Effective Date, or (y) the Closing Date.  
Except as required by applicable law, Seller shall not publicize this transaction in the media after the Closing without the prior written approval of Purchaser.  This provision shall survive Closing.
Section 20.    Indemnity.  Seller shall indemnify, hold harmless and defend Purchaser, Purchaser's affiliates, the partners, trustees, shareholders, directors, officers, attorneys, employees and agents of each of them, and their respective heirs, successors, personal representatives and assigns from any and all demands, claims (including, without limitation, causes of action in tort), legal or administrative proceedings, losses, liabilities, damages, penalties, fines, liens, judgments, costs or expenses whatsoever (including, without limitation, attorneys' fees and costs), whether direct or indirect, known or unknown, foreseen or unforeseen (collectively, "Claims") that may arise on account of or in any way be connected with any actions, suits, proceedings or claims brought by any third party(ies) against Purchaser, to the limited extent relating to any alleged negligence or willful misconduct of Seller occurring with respect to the Property prior to the Closing.  Purchaser shall indemnify, hold harmless and defend Seller, Seller's affiliates, the partners, trustees, shareholders, directors, officers, attorneys, employees and agents of each of them, and their respective heirs, successors, personal representatives and assigns from any and all Claims that may arise on account of or in any way be connected with any actions, suits, proceedings or claims brought by any third party(ies) against Seller, to the limited extent relating to any alleged negligence or willful misconduct of Purchaser occurring with respect to the Property from and after the Closing.  In the event any Claims are asserted against an indemnified party, the indemnified party shall notify Seller or Purchaser, as applicable, of the Claims promptly after becoming aware of such Claims.  The indemnified party(ies), absent a reasonable objection by the indemnifying party, shall have the right to select counsel to defend against the Claims and Seller or Purchaser, as the applicable indemnifying party, shall be responsible for the payment of the reasonable and necessary fees and expenses of such counsel as and when billed.  In no event shall either Seller or Purchaser be deemed to have indemnified the other for any Claims arising out of or relating to the negligence or willful misconduct of the indemnified party.  The provisions of this Section shall survive Closing.  

28




Section 21.    Rule 3-14 Audit and SEC Filing Requirements.  Within nine (9) months after the Closing, Purchaser's auditor may conduct an audit, as may be required of Purchaser pursuant to Rule 3-14 of Securities and Exchange Commission Regulation S-X (the "Audit"), of the income statements of the Property for the last complete fiscal year immediately preceding the Closing Date and the stub period through the Closing Date (the "Audit Period").  Seller shall reasonably cooperate with Purchaser's auditor in the conduct of the Audit, and Purchaser shall reimburse Seller for any reasonable, out of pocket costs of Seller incurred in connection with said cooperation.  Without limiting the foregoing, (a) Purchaser or its designated independent or other auditor may audit the operating statements of the Property, at Purchaser's expense and, upon Purchaser's prior written request of at least five (5) business days, Seller shall allow Purchaser's auditors reasonable access to such books and records as are then maintained by Seller in respect to the Property and pertaining to the Audit Period as  reasonably necessary to conduct the Audit (but without any specific obligation to maintain any such books and records); and (b) Seller shall use reasonable efforts to provide to Purchaser such existing financial information as may be reasonably required by Purchaser for Purchaser's auditors to conduct the Audit; provided, however, that the ongoing obligations of Seller shall be limited to providing such information or documentation as may be in the possession or control of Seller, at no unreimbursed cost to Seller, and in the format that Seller has from time to time maintained such information.  Seller shall provide a letter to Purchaser’s auditors in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit F or otherwise reasonably acceptable to Seller and Purchaser.  All information provided in connection with this Section 21 shall be subject to the confidentiality requirements of Section 19 of this Agreement. 
Section 22.    Rights of First Refusal.  If any of the Leases contain tenant rights of first refusal or rights of first offer (either such right, a "ROFR") in connection with a sale of the Project, Seller agrees that, if any Tenant gives notice of its intent to exercise its ROFR under its Lease or does actually exercise such ROFR, this Agreement shall be deemed to terminated, whereupon the rights of the parties shall be as set forth in Section 3.3 hereof.

EXHIBIT B 

EARNEST MONEY ESCROW AGREEMENT
This Escrow Agreement ("Escrow Agreement"), dated the ____ day of March, 2012, between NWC LIBERTY GROVE & SH66, LTD., a Texas limited partnership ("Seller"), AMERICAN REALTY CAPITAL IV, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("Purchaser"), and CHICAGO TITLE INSURANCE COMPANY ("Escrow Agent").
WHEREAS, pursuant to that certain Purchase and Sale Agreement, dated March __, 2012 ("Purchase Agreement"), a copy of which has been provided to Escrow Agent, Seller agreed to sell to Purchaser and Purchaser agreed to purchase from Seller, that certain real property and the building improvements located thereon (collectively, the "Property") known as Liberty Crossing; and
WHEREAS, the parties are entering into this Escrow Agreement pursuant to Section 2 of the Purchase Agreement whereby Purchaser is depositing with the Escrow Agent the sum of $200,000.00 (together with any undisbursed interest thereon, the "Deposit") to be held and disbursed in accordance with the provisions of this Escrow Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of Ten and No/100 ($10.00) Dollars and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, Seller, Purchaser and Escrow Agent hereby agree as follows:
1.    Escrow Agent agrees to hold the Deposit, subject to receipt, in escrow and disburse the Deposit in accordance with the terms of this Escrow Agreement.
2.    Escrow Agent shall disburse the Deposit as follows:
2.1    Escrow Agent shall deliver the Deposit to Seller (a) upon the Closing hereunder or (b) in the event that Seller makes a written demand therefor stating that Purchaser has failed to perform Purchaser's obligations hereunder.
2.2    Escrow Agent shall return the Deposit to Purchaser (a) if Purchaser terminates the Purchase Agreement pursuant to Section 3.3 thereof or (b) in the event that Purchaser makes a written demand therefor stating that Seller has failed to perform Seller's obligations hereunder or that Purchaser is entitled to the Deposit pursuant to the provisions of the Purchase Agreement. 
2.3    In the event that Escrow Agent intends to release the Deposit to either party pursuant to clause 2.1(b) or 2.2(b) hereof, then Escrow Agent shall give to the other party not less than five (5) business days prior written notice of such fact and if Escrow Agent actually receives written notice during such five (5) business day period that such other party objects to the release, then Escrow Agent shall not release the Deposit and any such dispute shall be resolved as provided herein.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in the event Purchaser shall timely exercise its 





right to terminate the Purchase Agreement on or before the expiration of the Inspection period, as defined in the Purchase Agreement, pursuant to Section 3.3 of the Purchase Agreement (as distinguished from a termination of the Purchase Agreement by Purchaser pursuant to another section of the Purchase Agreement), the Escrow Agent shall automatically refund the Deposit to Purchaser without delivering the written notice otherwise required pursuant to the preceding sentence.  The Escrow Agent shall promptly notify Seller in writing that it refunded the Deposit to Purchaser pursuant to Section 3.3 of the Purchase Agreement.
3.    Escrow Agent shall invest the Deposit in an interest bearing F.D.I.C. insured account.  Purchaser shall be responsible for paying all taxes on any interest earned on the Deposit, which obligation shall survive the Closing.
4.    Escrow Agent may not commingle the Deposit with other funds held in its "trustees account".
5.
