execution and delivery of this Agreement by Seller and the consummation of the
transactions contemplated hereby, including without limitation the execution of
any related agreements, will not require the consent of, or any prior filing

connection with the Closing pursuant to this Agreement, do not contain any

ensure that the Seller continues to operate the Property in the ordinary course
of business and substantially as operated on the date of this Agreement.

            (y) ACCESS. From the date hereof through the date of Closing, Seller

gives the Purchaser and its respective agents, attorneys and representatives
full access to its books, records and documents, including any surveys or
environmental site assessments related to the Property, and to the Property as
Purchaser may reasonably request; provided however, that until Closing each

the assets of the Seller under any bankruptcy law, and the Seller has not made

<PAGE>

written consent of Purchaser and only in compliance with all operating
covenants, Leases, loan documents and Encumbrances contained in the owner's

            7.4.2. LEASES.

                  7.4.2.1 Seller agrees that from the date of this Agreement to

in the case of Tenant Leases), modify or amend any of the Leases, or accept
surrender thereof, enter into any new leases in excess of five thousand (5,000)
square feet, or consent to the assignment, subletting or mortgaging of any lease

Property or any portion thereof; and (v) use good faith reasonable efforts prior
to the Closing Date to satisfy all conditions to Closing.

                  7.4.2.2 In the event that the Closing occurs hereunder and the
Purchaser shall have approved the Seller's entry into any New Leases or the
modification or amendment of any Lease in accordance with clause (i) of Section
7.4.2.1, then the Purchaser shall pay to the Seller at closing: (a) on account
of each New Lease an amount equal to the sum of the leasing commissions incurred
in connection with such New Lease, plus the amount of all tenant work and tenant
allowances to be paid by the Seller under such New Lease multiplied by the
Purchaser's Portion (as hereinafter defined); and (b) on account of each
Modified Lease, an amount equal to the sum of the leasing commissions incurred
in connection with the modification or amendment of such Modified Lease, plus

<PAGE>

            7.4.4. NO ENCUMBRANCES. Except for the Encumbrances contained in the
Accepted Title, Seller shall not suffer or permit encumbrances of the Property.

            7.4.5. TENANT ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATES. (a) Seller agrees from and
after receipt of the Assumption Approval as set forth in Section 9.1 and
provided this Agreement is in full force and effect, within five (5) business
days after being requested by Purchaser to do so, to deliver to all tenants of
the Property a request for an estoppel certificate in the form of EXHIBIT D
attached hereto, which form may be revised if so requested by the Existing
Lender. The parties agree that, subject to the provisions of subparagraph (b)
below, it shall be a condition to Purchaser's obligation to close under this
Agreement that an estoppel certificate either substantially in the form of
EXHIBIT D or in the form required by a tenant's Lease, dated not earlier than
ten (10) business days prior to the Closing Date, be delivered to Purchaser no
later than five (5) business days before Closing from tenants under the Leases
occupying, in the aggregate, not less than 75% of the rentable area of the
Property, including all tenants occupying at least a full floor or more of space
(a "TENANT ESTOPPEL"), Seller agrees to use good faith efforts to obtain such
Tenant Estoppels, provided however, Seller shall not be obligated to pay tenants
in order to do so. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if at Closing Seller delivers
such Tenant Estoppels from tenants occupying at least 60% of the rentable area
of the Property, Seller may execute and deliver to Purchaser, at Closing, its
own certificate with respect to tenants occupying up to an additional 15% of the
rentable area of the Property (substantially in the form of EXHIBIT D or in the
form required by a tenant's Lease, appropriately modified to reflect that they
are certificates of Seller and made to Seller's knowledge; hereinafter, the
"SELLER'S ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATE") and the statements of Seller contained therein
shall survive the Closing until the earlier of (a) one hundred and eighty (180)
days after Closing, or (b) the date Purchaser obtains an estoppel certificate
from a tenant for whom Seller delivered a Seller's Estoppel Certificate.

            (b) The parties agree that each Tenant Estoppel containing
non-material exceptions, qualifications or modifications shall be deemed to be
an acceptable estoppel certificate for purposes of this Section 7.4.5. In the
event a Tenant Estoppel contains a material exception or qualification or
alleges a material default by Seller (collectively, a "MATERIAL DEFAULT"),
subject to the following provisions of this Section 7.4.5), Purchaser's sole and
exclusive remedy shall be to terminate this Agreement by delivering notice
thereof in writing to Seller, on the earlier of five (5) business days after the
date of delivery to Purchaser of a Tenant Estoppel alleging a Material Default
or the Closing Date (the "ESTOPPEL TERMINATION NOTICE"), time being of the
essence as to the giving of such notice. If Purchaser shall timely give the
Estoppel Termination Notice, then subject to Seller's option set forth below,
this Agreement shall terminate, and upon such termination, Purchaser shall be
entitled to the return of the Deposit Note and all interest thereon, and neither
party shall have any obligation hereunder other than as may be expressly
provided for in this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser shall
not have the right to terminate this Agreement if Tenant Estoppel(s) allege
Material Default(s) if (x) such Material Default(s) can be remedied by the
performance of work costing not more than $50,000 in the aggregate for all such
Tenant Estoppel(s) or the payment of money not exceeding $50,000 in the
aggregate with respect to such tenants and (y) Seller elects (by written notice
to Purchaser given simultaneously with Seller's delivery of such Tenant Estoppel
to Purchaser), at Seller's option (but Seller shall have no obligation), to cure
the nonconforming matter set forth in such estoppel by either performing or
causing to be performed the work on or prior to the Closing Date, by paying the
money on or prior to the Closing Date, or

                                       17

<PAGE>

by granting Purchaser a credit against the Purchase Price in an amount
reasonably necessary to perform such work, as reasonably determined by Seller
and Purchaser, in which event Seller shall, at or before the Closing, cure,
perform, pay or grant Purchaser a credit with respect to the same.

            7.4.6 LISTINGS AND OTHER OFFERS. Seller shall not list the Property
or any part thereof with any broker or otherwise solicit or make or accept any
offers to sell the Property or any part thereof, engage in any discussions or
negotiations with respect to the sale or disposition of the Property or any part
thereof with any third party, or enter into any contract, agreement or letter of
intent regarding the disposition of the Property or any part thereof.

            7.4.7 COVENANT TO REMEDY BREACHES. Without limiting the obligations
of Seller set forth in this Agreement, Seller covenants to use all reasonable
efforts within its control (i) to prevent the breach of any representation or
warranty of Seller hereunder, (ii) to satisfy all covenants of Seller hereunder
and (iii) to promptly cure any breach of a representation, warranty or covenant
of Seller hereunder upon its learning of same. Compliance with this covenant
shall not limit any Seller's liability for a breach of, or failure to perform,
any other representation, warranty or covenant herein.

8. DISCLAIMERS. EXCEPT AS PROVIDED HEREIN, SELLER HEREBY SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMS
ANY EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTY, GUARANTY OR REPRESENTATION, ORAL OR WRITTEN,
PAST, PRESENT OR FUTURE, OF, AS TO, OR CONCERNING (I) THE NATURE AND CONDITION
OF THE PROPERTY AND THE SUITABILITY THEREOF FOR ANY AND ALL ACTIVITIES AND USES
WHICH PURCHASER MAY ELECT TO CONDUCT THEREON, (II) THE NATURE AND EXTENT OF ANY
RIGHT-OF-WAY, LEASE, POSSESSION, LIEN, ENCUMBRANCE, LICENSE, RESERVATION,
CONDITION OR ANY OTHER MATTER RELATING IN ANY WAY TO THE PROPERTY, (III) THE
COMPLIANCE OF THE PROPERTY OR ITS OPERATION WITH ANY LAWS, ORDINANCES OR
REGULATIONS OF ANY GOVERNMENT OR OTHER AUTHORITY OR BODY, OR (IV) THE EXISTENCE
OF ANY TOXIC OR HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCE OR WASTE IN, ON, UNDER THE SURFACE OF OR
ABOUT THE PROPERTY.

      8.1 PURCHASER ACKNOWLEDGEMENT. Purchaser acknowledges that this Contract
affords Purchaser the opportunity for investigations, examinations and
inspections of the Property and all Property Information.

      8.2 SURVIVAL. The provisions of this Section 8 shall survive the
termination of this Contract and the Closing.

9.    CLOSING.

            9.1 CLOSING DATE. Subject to the provisions of this Section 9.1, the
consummation of this transaction (the "CLOSING") will take place at the offices
of HUNTON & WILLIAMS LLP, in Washington, D.C., or at such other location upon
which Seller and Purchaser mutually agree, upon a date which is twenty (20) days
following satisfaction of all of the

                                       18

<PAGE>
"conditions precedent" set forth in Section 9.5 below (the "CLOSING DATE"),
unless Seller and Purchaser mutually agree to an earlier or later date;
provided, however, that this Agreement will terminate if Closing does not occur
prior to December 31, 2005.

            Within five (5) days after the Effective Date, Seller and Purchaser
shall each notify the holder of the Existing Loan (the "EXISTING LENDER") of
Purchaser's desire to assume the Existing Loan, and shall promptly and
diligently complete all requested applications. Purchaser agrees to promptly pay
Existing Lender any and all required fees, costs and expenses requested by
Existing Lender in connection with the assumption of the Existing Loan and each
party agrees to provide all documentation reasonably required by Existing Lender
in connection with the conditions of Existing Lender's Assumption Approval. The
Existing Lender's consent permitting Purchaser's assumption of the Existing Loan
(the "ASSUMPTION APPROVAL") shall be a condition precedent to Purchaser's
obligation to acquire the Property. In the event the Assumption Approval is not
received by Purchaser on or before a date which is seventy-five (75) days, from
the Effective Date (other than by reason of Purchaser's default in the terms and
conditions of this Agreement) either Seller or Purchaser may extend the Closing
Date for a period of thirty (30) days (the "EXTENDED CLOSING Date"). If the
Assumption Approval is not obtained by a date, which is three (3) business days
prior to the Extended Closing Date, Purchaser shall have the right to terminate
this Agreement on or before the Extended Closing Date. It shall be a condition
to Closing and the assumption of the Existing Loan that the Existing Lender
shall deliver a representation that the Existing Loan is not in default, the
current outstanding principal amount, accrued interest and with such other
customary Lender certifications and a release of the liability of Seller under
the Existing Loan from and after the date upon which the Existing Loan is
assumed by Purchaser.

obtain for delivery to the Title Company any other instruments reasonably
necessary and customarily required to consummate the sale of the Property
pursuant to this Contract, including, by way of example, closing statements and

Seller; provided, however, that Seller shall not be obligated to indemnify the
Title Company.

            9.2.5. COSTS. Seller will pay all costs allocated to Seller pursuant
to Section 9.4 of this Contract.

         9.3 PURCHASER'S OBLIGATIONS AT THE CLOSING. At the Closing, Purchaser

                                       20
<PAGE>
         9.4 COSTS AND ADJUSTMENTS AT CLOSING.

            9.4.1. EXPENSES. Purchaser will pay for its costs of obtaining title
insurance. Seller and Purchaser will each be responsible for fifty percent (50%)
of the recording fees and transfer taxes on the Deed and for fifty percent (50%)
of the escrow and closing fees charged by the Title Company. Seller and
Purchaser will be responsible for the fees and expenses of their respective
attorneys. Purchaser shall reimburse Seller for any and all escrow funds held
under the Existing Loan by Existing Lender.

            9.4.2. REAL ESTATE TAXES. Real estate taxes on the Property for the
real estate tax fiscal year in which Closing occurs will be prorated between
Seller and Purchaser as of 11:59 p.m. on the day preceding the Closing Date. If
the amount of such taxes is not known at Closing, the proration of such real
estate taxes and assessments will be based on the amount of such taxes and
assessments for the previous real estate tax fiscal period. As soon as the
actual amount of real estate taxes on the Property for the year of Closing is
known, Seller and Purchaser will, if necessary, readjust the amount of such
taxes to be paid by each party with the result that Seller will pay for those
taxes applicable to the Property up to but not including the Closing Date, and
Purchaser will pay for those taxes and assessments applicable to the Property on
and after the date of Closing. The provisions of this Section 9.4.2 will survive
the Closing. Purchaser shall pay the costs of any general and special
assessments.

            9.4.3. TENANT REBATES. To the extent that any tenant is entitled to
any rebate, concession, deduction or offset under its Lease, such entitlement
shall be included as a closing adjustment by credit towards the Purchase Price.
Further, to the extent that any tenant is entitled to future tenant improvements
work to be paid for by the landlord under such tenant's Lease, the amount of
landlord's liability for such work shall be included as a closing adjustment by
credit towards the Purchase Price. The Parties agree to initially adjust rents,
tenant charges and operating expenses as of 11:59 P.M. on the last day of the
month immediately preceding the Closing (the "ADJUSTMENT DATE"). On a date that
is forty-five (45) days following Closing ("SUPPLEMENTAL ADJUSTMENT DATE") the
parties agree to further adjust rents, tenant charges and operating expenses as
of the date of Closing on a per diem basis for the month in which Closing
occurs. Payments due on account of the Supplemental Adjustment Date shall be
delivered to the party entitled to such payment within ten (10) days of the
Supplemental Adjustment Date. Rent and such tenant charges which are due but
uncollected as of the Closing shall not be adjusted, but, with respect to
tenants whose rent is no more than six (6) months in arrears, provided Seller
provides in a timely manner all back-up materials, reconciliations and other
information requested by tenants with respect thereto, Purchaser shall remit
promptly to or on behalf of Seller any such amounts actually paid by such
tenants to Purchaser (provided that such amounts shall be in excess of the then
current rent and other charges due) within six (6) months after the Closing.
Purchaser's obligations with respect to such delinquent rent and other charges
shall be limited to billing the applicable tenant therefor on no more than six
(6) occasions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, Seller
retains all rights against former tenants whose Tenant Leases have expired or
have been terminated and possession discontinued prior to the Closing; provided,
however, in no event shall Seller be entitled after the Closing to institute any
litigation or other proceedings against any tenant that is in occupancy at the
Property as of the Closing with respect to any obligations or liabilities of
such tenant relating to the Property or arising out of such tenant's occupancy
thereof. Purchaser shall have no further obligation or liability to Seller under
this subsection after the expiration of said six (6) month period. No adjustment
shall be made with respect to percentage or overage rent. Except as


                                       21
<PAGE>


otherwise adjusted, Seller shall remain responsible and liable to Purchaser to
refund to tenants (or reimburse Purchaser for any refunds to tenants of) any
excess payments made by tenants for real estate taxes (including any arising as
a result of tax appeals), insurance, utility, common area maintenance operating
expenses and building expenses applicable to the period prior to the Closing,
such responsibility and liability to survive Closing until such time as all
audit rights of tenants under Leases with respect to periods prior to the
Closing shall have expired and all amounts owing to tenants as a result of any
such audits shall have been fully paid by Seller to the applicable tenant
(directly or by reimbursement to Purchaser). The parties agree that in the event
that any tax appeals relating to the Property, whether now existing or hereafter
filed, results in any rebate of real property or other taxes paid for the
Property, such rebate (after deducting therefrom all costs and expenses of
procuring the same) shall be prorated as of the Closing between Seller and
Purchaser based on respective periods of ownership.

            9.4.4. PREPAID RENT AND SECURITY DEPOSITS. All prepaid rentals,
tenant security deposits, whether cash or non-cash (including security deposits
for tenants who owe rent or other charges as of the Closing), together with all
interest required to be paid thereon which has accrued through the Closing,
shall be delivered to Purchaser at the Closing. Promptly following the Closing,
Seller shall cause any tenants who have posted letters of credit as security
deposits to have such security deposits amended or re-issued so that they run to
the benefit of Purchaser as landlord under the Leases.

            9.4.5. UTILITY DEPOSITS. Seller shall be entitled to retain all
utility deposits and to obtain the return of same. Seller shall cooperate with
Purchaser, at Purchaser's cost, with respect to the transfer of utilities.

            9.4.6. OTHER INCOME AND EXPENSES. Except as otherwise expressly
stated herein, all other income and ordinary operating expenses for or
pertaining to the Property, including, but not limited to, public utility
charges, maintenance and service charges, will be prorated as of 12:01 am on the
Adjustment Date.

            9.4.7. ADJUSTMENT. To the extent that errors are discovered in, or
additional information becomes available with respect to, the prorations and
allocations made at Closing, Seller and Purchaser agree to make such
post-Closing adjustments as may be necessary to correct any inaccuracy; however,
all prorations (except for prorations and allocations of ad valorem taxes and
tenant reimbursables and for prorations or allocations that have been
specifically identified as disputed and are then currently in dispute) will be
final within sixty (60) days after Closing.

      9.5 CONDITIONS PRECEDENT TO PURCHASER'S OBLIGATIONS AT CLOSING. The
obligations of the Purchaser to be performed on and after the Closing Date shall
be subject to the fulfillment of each of the conditions set forth below in a
manner satisfactory to the Purchaser or the waiver of such conditions by the
Purchaser.

            9.5.1 Each of the representations and warranties made by the Seller
      in this Agreement shall be true and correct as of the Closing Date.


                                       22

<PAGE>


            9.5.2 The Seller shall have complied with each and every covenant
      made by the Seller herein.

            9.5.3 The Assumption Approval is obtained in accordance with Section
      9.1.

            9.5.4 The effectiveness of the Purchaser's Registration Statement on
      Form S-11 (as amended from time to time, the "REGISTRATION STATEMENT") to
      be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission after the execution
      of this Agreement and the closing and funding of the public offering
      thereunder, is a condition precedent to the obligations of all parties to
      this Agreement to effect the transactions contemplated by this Agreement
      on the Closing Date (as defined below). This condition may not be waived
      by any party to this Agreement.

In the event all of the "conditions precedent" have not been satisfied by the
Closing Date or the Extended Closing Date, this Agreement shall automatically
terminate upon the Closing Date or the Extended Closing Date without the
requirement of either party providing written notice.

10.   REMEDIES.

         10.1 DEFAULT BY SELLER. Except as specifically provided elsewhere in
this Contract, in the event that Seller fails to consummate this Contract or if
Seller fails to perform any of Seller's other material obligations hereunder
either prior to or at the Closing and such failure or refusal results from any
reason other than the termination of this Contract by Purchaser pursuant to a
right to terminate expressly set forth in this Contract or Purchaser's failure
to perform Purchaser's obligations under this Contract, Purchaser may as its
only remedy either (i) terminate this Contract by giving written notice thereof
to Seller prior to or at the Closing, in which event Purchaser will be entitled
to a return of the Deposit Note, whereupon neither party hereto will have any
further rights or obligations hereunder, except (a) that Seller will authorize
the Title Company to deliver to Purchaser the Deposit Note and Title Company
will deliver the Deposit Note to Purchaser free of any claims by Seller or any
other person with respect thereto, (b) that Seller shall reimburse Purchaser for
its out of pocket costs associated with the negotiation and preparation of this
Agreement and its examination of the Property, including, the fees and
disbursements of its counsel, advisers, and agents, and (c) for provisions which
survive Closing by their terms or (ii) enforce specific performance of Seller's
duties and obligations under this Contract, provided that the right to enforce
specific performance shall not require Seller to remove any title encumbrances
placed on the Property after the Effective Date or require Seller to perform any
covenant beyond the then current ability of Seller. In the event Purchaser fails
to file an action for specific performance of this Contract on or before ninety
(90) days after the date of such non-performance, Purchaser shall be deemed to
have elected to proceed under clause (i) above and shall be deemed to have
waived its right to enforce specific performance of this Contract.

         10.2 DEFAULT BY PURCHASER. In the event that Purchaser fails or refuses
to consummate the purchase of the Property pursuant to this Contract and if such
failure to


                                       23

<PAGE>


consummate results from any reason other than termination of this Contract by
Purchaser pursuant to a right to terminate expressly set forth in this Contract
or Seller's failure to perform Seller's material obligations under this
Contract, then Seller, as Seller's sole and exclusive remedy, will have the
right to terminate this Contract by giving written notice thereof to Purchaser
prior to or at the Closing, whereupon neither party hereto will have any further
rights or obligations hereunder, except (i) that Purchaser will authorize the
Title Company to deliver the Deposit Note to Seller as liquidated damages and
Title Company will deliver the Deposit Note to Seller free of any claims by
Purchaser or any other person with respect thereto and (ii) for provisions which
survive Closing by their terms. It is agreed that the amount to which the Seller
is entitled under this Section 10.2 is a reasonable forecast of just
compensation for the harm that would be caused by Purchaser's breach and that
the harm that would be caused by such breach is one that is incapable or very
difficult of accurate estimation.

         10.3 FEES. In the event either party to this Contract commences legal
action of any kind to enforce the terms and conditions of this Contract, the
prevailing party in such litigation will be entitled to collect from the other
party all costs, expenses and attorneys' fees incurred in connection with such
action. This Section 10 shall survive Closing or earlier termination of this
Contract.

11.   RISK OF LOSS, DESTRUCTION, AND CONDEMNATION.

         11.1 RISK OF LOSS. Risk of loss for damage to the Property, or any part
thereof, by fire or other casualty from the Effective Date of this Contract
through the Closing Date will be on Seller. Upon Closing, full risk of loss with
respect to the Property will pass to Purchaser.

         11.2 CASUALTY.

            11.2.1. MAJOR DAMAGE. If, prior to Closing, the Property, or any
portion thereof, is damaged by fire, or any other cause of whatsoever nature,
Seller will promptly give Purchaser written notice of such damage. If the cost
for repairing such damage, in the reasonable judgment of Purchaser, exceeds five
hundred thousand Dollars ($500,000.00), Purchaser will have the option,
exercisable by written notice delivered to Seller within fifteen (15) days of
Seller's notice of damage to Purchaser, either (i) to require Seller to convey
the Property to Purchaser, in its damaged condition and to assign to Purchaser
all of Seller's right, title and interest in and to any claims Seller may have
under the property insurance policies covering the Property and pay any and all
deductibles of such policies or any uninsured portion of the cost of repairing
the damage to Purchaser, in which event Seller will have no further liability or
obligation to repair or replace the Property, or (ii) to terminate this
Contract. If Purchaser elects to terminate this Contract, the Earnest Money
shall be returned to Purchaser, and thereafter neither party hereto will have
any further duties or obligations hereunder except under provisions which
survive termination by their terms.

            11.2.2. MINOR DAMAGE. If the cost for repairing such damage will
not, in the reasonable judgment of Purchaser, exceed Five Hundred thousand
Dollars ($500,000.00), Purchaser will have the option, exercisable by written
notice delivered to Seller within ten (10)


                                       24

<PAGE>


days of Seller's notice of damage to Purchaser, either (i) to require Seller to
repair and restore the Property to substantially the same condition it was in
prior to such casualty, in which event the Closing Date shall be postponed for a
reasonable period of time to allow Seller to accomplish such repair and
restoration, or (ii) to require Seller to convey the Property to Purchaser on
the Closing Date in its damaged condition and assign to Purchaser all of
Seller's right, title and interest in and to any claims Seller may have under
the property insurance policies covering the Property, in which event Seller
will have no further liability or obligation to repair or replace the Property.

            11.2.3. CASUALTY REVEALING DEFECTS. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in Sections 11.2.1 or 11.2.2, in the event that prior to Closing, the
Property or any portion thereof is damaged by fire, or any cause of whatsoever
nature, and such casualty or any investigation into the cause of such casualty
reveals that a defect exists in the Property and that such defect may cause a
similar casualty in the future or that the Property is in violation of safety,
environmental, hazardous waste, building code, health, fire, safety or other
laws, orders, ordinances or regulations, then Purchaser will have the option as
its sole and exclusive remedy, exercisable by written notice delivered to Seller
within ten (10) business days of the discovery of such defect or violation, to
terminate this Contract, in which event the Deposit Note shall be returned to
Purchaser, and thereafter neither party hereto will have any further duties or
obligations hereunder except under provisions which survive termination by their
terms.

         11.3 CONDEMNATION. If during the pendency of this Contract and prior to
Closing, condemnation proceedings are commenced with respect to all or any
material portion of the Property, Purchaser may, at Purchaser's election,
terminate this Contract by written notice to Seller within fifteen (15) days
after Purchaser has been notified of the commencement of condemnation
proceedings. In the event of such termination, the Deposit Note will be promptly
returned to Purchaser and, thereafter, neither party will have any further
duties or obligations hereunder except under provisions which survive
termination by their terms. If Purchaser does not exercise such right to
terminate within the period prescribed, then Seller shall transfer to Purchaser
its right to appear and to defend Seller's interests in the Property in such
condemnation proceedings, and any award in condemnation will become the property
of Purchaser; provided, however, the Closing shall not be delayed by reason of
any such proceedings.

12.   REAL ESTATE COMMISSIONS AND FEES.

      Seller represents and warrants to Purchaser that Seller has not contacted
or entered into any written agreement with any real estate broker, agent,
finder, or any party in connection with this transaction. Purchaser hereby
represents and warrants to Seller that Purchaser has not contacted or entered
into any agreement with any real estate broker, agent, finder, or any party in
connection with this transaction. Each party hereby indemnifies and agrees to
hold the other party harmless from any loss, liability, damage, cost, or expense
(including, reasonable attorneys' fees) paid or incurred by the other party by
reason of a breach of the representation and warranty made by such party under
this Section 12. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the
indemnities set forth in this Section 12 will survive the Closing.

expenses) incurred by Purchaser solely because of Seller's attempts to effect an
Exchange in connection with Seller's sale of the Property; (2) the Exchange

close the sale of the Property shall not be conditioned or contingent upon
Seller successfully effecting an Exchange; and (4) Seller shall indemnify and

result of the cooperation of Purchaser with an actual or contemplated Exchange
and the foregoing indemnification obligation shall survive the closing of such

have warranted to Seller that the Exchange in fact complies with Section 1031 of
the Code. This Section shall survive the Closing.
