If Purchaser fails to deliver the additional Five Hundred Thousand and No/100ths Dollars ($500,000.00) to the Escrow Agent one (1) business day after the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, then Purchaser shall be deemed to have terminated this Agreement prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, and the initial Five Hundred Thousand and No/100ths Dollars ($500,000.00) shall be promptly returned to Purchaser. During the term of this Agreement, Escrow Agent shall hold the Deposit in an interest bearing account. At the Closing, the Deposit shall be applied as partial payment of the Purchase Price.
(b)    The balance of the Purchase Price by wire transfer at Closing to the Escrow Agent to be paid as directed by Seller upon the Closing. 
2.    Investigation; Title Commitment; Survey.
2.01.    The period beginning on the Effective Date and ending at 5:00 p.m. Central Standard Daylight Time on the date that is thirty-five (35) days after the Effective Date shall be referred to as the “Due Diligence Period”. During the term of this Agreement, Purchaser shall be entitled to make an inspection of the Property and the Property Materials (as hereinafter defined). Purchaser may, in its sole discretion, terminate this Agreement at any time on or prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period by sending written notice of termination to Seller.  If Purchaser fails to deliver an additional Five Hundred Thousand and No/100ths Dollars ($500,000.00) to the Escrow Agent one (1) business day after the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, then Purchaser shall be deemed to have sent written notice of termination to Seller prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period.  If Purchaser fails to notify Seller of its decision to terminate on or before the expiration of the Due Diligence Period and makes an additional deposit of Five Hundred Thousand and No/100ths Dollars ($500,000.00) to the Escrow Agent one (1) business day after the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, then Purchaser shall be deemed to have notified Seller that Purchaser has decided to proceed with the Closing of this transaction.  If Purchaser terminates this Agreement or is deemed to have terminated on or prior to end of the Due Diligence Period, the entire Deposit (as defined above) shall be returned to Purchaser. Upon any such termination, the parties shall have no further obligations or liability hereunder, except for such obligations which expressly survive the termination of this Agreement.  
During the term of this Agreement, Seller shall provide Purchaser, its agents and representatives with reasonable access to the Property, and Purchaser shall have the right to examine the Property Materials.  During the term of this Agreement, upon reasonable advance notice to Seller, Purchaser, its agents and representatives shall be entitled to enter upon the Property during regular business hours (subject to the rights of tenants in possession) to perform such inspections and tests of the Property as Purchaser deems reasonably necessary to evaluate the Property, including, without limitation, a Phase I environmental assessment (the “Phase I Assessment”); provided, however, that no inspections or tests will involve the 

4












taking of samples or other physically invasive procedures without the prior written consent of Seller. Before entering upon the Property, Purchaser must furnish to Seller evidence of general liability insurance coverage of not less than One Million and No/100ths Dollars ($1,000,000) per occurrence and Two Million and No/100ths Dollars ($2,000,000) in the aggregate, which will name Seller as an additional insured.  Seller will have the right to be present at any or all inspections or tests.  Seller agrees to reasonably cooperate with Purchaser to enable Purchaser to have access to all occupied and unoccupied units; provided, however, that neither Purchaser nor its agents or representatives will contact any tenants without the prior consent of Seller.  


Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, except as explicitly provided otherwise herein, Purchaser agrees that all risk, damage, fees or expenses associated with such inspections shall remain with Purchaser.  Purchaser agrees to repair any damage to the Property caused by any testing or inspection and to indemnify and hold Seller harmless from and against any and all risks, damages, losses, claims, fees or expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, or liability for personal injury or property damage caused by entry upon the Property by Purchaser’s agents, representatives or employees in connection with Purchaser’s inspections or tests pursuant to this Section 2.01 or any other entry by Purchaser on the Property, regardless of whether this Agreement is terminated; provided however, Purchaser shall not be responsible for any risks, damages, losses, claims, fees or expenses to the extent they arise from: the negligence or gross negligence of Seller or its agents and representatives; or preexisting defects or issues with regard to the Property which are merely discovered or “uncovered” by the Purchaser. Purchaser shall promptly upon receiving notice of any lien placed on the Property by reason of Purchaser’s or its contractor’s, agent’s, representative’s or employee’s tests or inspections, cause the lien to be discharged or bonded at Purchaser’s sole expense, and such lien shall be deemed a Permitted Exception (as defined herein).  Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the foregoing indemnity shall survive the Closing or the termination of this Agreement. 
2.02.    Within three (3) days after the Effective Date, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser the items listed on Exhibit 2.02 attached hereto and made a part hereof, to the extent the same are in Seller’s (or its property manager’s) possession or control. Collectively, the items listed on Exhibit 2.02 shall be referred to herein as the “Property Materials.” 
2.03.    (a)    Within seven (7) days after the Effective Date, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser title commitments for each of Lenox Village Town Center, Regent Building, and LV III (collectively, the “Title Commitment”), to be provided at Seller’s expense, for an ALTA (form 2006) extended owner’s title insurance policy, issued by Chicago Title Insurance Company through their agent Ortale, Kelley, Herbert & Crawford (the “Title Insurance Company”), together with copies of all documents (“Exception Documents”) referred to in the Title Commitment.
(b)        Within two (2) business days of the Effective Date, Seller will deliver to Purchaser one copy of the most recent existing ALTA survey (if any) of the Real Property (the “Existing Survey”) in Seller’s possession and control.  Purchaser shall obtain 

5












an updated or new ALTA/ACSM Land Title Survey of the Real Property (the “Updated Survey”) prepared by a surveyor licensed in the State of Tennessee and containing such Table A items that Purchaser or Purchaser’s lender, if any, may require.  Purchaser will pay the cost of the Updated Survey. Purchaser will pay any additional survey costs incurred in incorporating any additional survey requirements to satisfy Purchaser’s lender, if any.
(c)        On or before the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, Purchaser shall provide Seller with written notice (“Purchaser’s Exception Notice”) setting forth a list of the matters reflected in the Updated Survey and Title Commitment that are not acceptable to Purchaser (herein referred to as “Unpermitted Exceptions”; and all matters not so objected to are herein referred to as “Permitted Exceptions”).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent the Leases are accurately reflected on the Rent Roll (as hereinafter defined), Purchaser shall not object to any exception for the rights of tenants (as tenants only) under the Leases or any leases entered into pursuant to Section 7.02 below, and the same shall be deemed “Permitted Exceptions”.  If Purchaser does not provide Seller with Purchaser’s Exception Notice within said period, then Purchaser will be deemed to have approved the title as shown in the Title Commitment, the title exceptions, and all matters shown on the Updated Survey, and moreover, any title exceptions listed or shown on said documents shall be deemed Permitted Exceptions (except for monetary liens or encumbrances which shall be released or discharged by Seller at or prior to the Closing).  Notwithstanding any language to the contrary in this Agreement, Seller shall prior to, or at, the Closing satisfy, release and discharge all monetary liens or encumbrances encumbering any portion of the Property, including, but not limited to, all mortgages, deeds of trust, security deeds, assignments of leases, assignments of rents, fixture filings, UCC-1s, judgment liens, and mechanic liens (the “Removable Liens”). 
2.04.    Seller shall notify Purchaser in writing ("Seller’s Exception Response") within three (3) business days after receiving Purchaser’s Exception Notice if it believes that the Purchaser’s Exception Notice makes reference to any title defect or other matter that Seller elects not to cure.  Seller’s Exception Response, if any is given, shall specify those objected to items that Seller shall cure, the manner of such cure, and those items which it shall not cure. Upon receipt of Seller’s Exception Response from Seller, Purchaser shall have the option either to (i) terminate this Agreement by notice to Seller given within three (3) business days of receipt of Seller’s Exception Response and be returned the Deposit, or (ii) accept the defects, exceptions or other matters referenced in such Seller’s Exception Response and proceed to Closing hereunder with no reduction of the Purchase Price. Seller's failure to serve a Seller’s Exception Response within the three (3) business day period set forth above with respect to any matter referenced in Purchaser’s Exception Notice shall constitute Seller's election not to cure such matter, subject to Seller’s mandatory obligation to cure the Removable Liens. Seller shall have until the Closing Date (as hereinafter defined) within which to correct all defects, exceptions or other matters that it is required, or elects, to cure. As to title defects arising after the effective date of the issuance of the Title Commitment and survey defects arising after the date of the Updated Survey, Buyer shall be entitled to object thereto within five (5) days after becoming aware of such defect, but no later than the Closing Date, and Seller shall have a reasonable time, not to exceed five (5) 

6












days, to elect the options set forth above upon the same conditions set forth above, and the Closing Date shall be extended to the extent necessary, not to exceed ten (10) days, to provide said additional time period. If Seller provides Purchaser with a Seller’s Exception Response, all matters and defects which Seller agrees to cure shall constitute a covenant by Seller to cure such matters and defects. 
2.05.    In the event Purchaser shall expressly waive in writing its objections to any Unpermitted Exceptions, the term “Permitted Exceptions” as used herein in connection with the status of title to be conveyed to Purchaser shall mean and include all exceptions designated by Purchaser as Permitted Exceptions pursuant to Section 2.03(c) hereof, as well as any Unpermitted Exceptions as to which Purchaser has so waived its objections.  
2.06.    During the Due Diligence Period, Purchaser may designate any or all of the Service Contracts that it desires to be terminated at Closing (the “Rejected Contracts”), and Seller shall send cancellation notices with respect to the Rejected Contracts not later than Closing so long as the Rejected Contracts are terminable by their terms upon thirty (30) days or less notice and without the payment of any termination charge or penalty; failing which, Buyer shall be obligated to assume such Rejected Contracts at Closing. Seller shall be solely responsible for the payment of any and all wages, salaries, vacation and/or sick leave compensation, pension or profit sharing benefits and other benefits or compensation inuring to the benefit of any and all employees of Seller, any affiliate or agent, employed at the Property through the Closing Date, and all such employees shall, at Seller’s cost and expense, be terminated or otherwise employed by Seller effective as of the Closing Date.  At any time after the date hereof, Purchaser may offer employment, effective immediately after Closing, to any of the employees of the Property, except for those employees listed on Exhibit 2.06.   Notwithstanding any language to the contrary in this Agreement, Seller shall terminate, at Seller’s sole cost and expense, any management contract or agreement with regard to the Property, at (or prior to) the Closing.  In addition to the foregoing, Seller shall pay any and all termination fees and penalties, if any, associated with the termination of any management contract or agreement.
3.    Closing.
3.01.    The closing of the purchase transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the “Closing”), shall occur on or before the date(the “Closing Date”) that is thirty (30) days after the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the parties.  The Closing shall be held at the offices of the Escrow Agent or at such other location as the parties may agree.  Neither party shall be required to be physically present at the Closing as long as all documents, funds, and other items required to be delivered by such party are timely delivered to the Escrow Agent.
It is a condition to Purchaser’s obligations to proceed to Closing that, as of the Closing Date:   (a) all of Seller’s representations and warranties hereunder are true and correct as if made on and as of the Closing Date; (b) Seller has performed all of its covenants hereunder, including, but not limited to those matters and defects that Seller has obligated itself to cure pursuant to Section 2.03; (c) the Property is delivered to Purchaser at Closing free and clear 

7












of any occupants or rights to possession other than pursuant to the Leases (as defined in Section 4.01(g)), the Permitted Exceptions and any leases entered into pursuant to Section 7.02 below; (d) Seller has delivered all documents and made all other deliveries required in this Agreement; (e) the Title Insurance Company has irrevocably committed (subject to payment therefor) to issue an ALTA Extended Coverage Owner's Policy of Title Insurance for each of Lenox Village Town Center, Regent Building, and LV III (collectively, the "Title Policy") with liability in an aggregate amount equal to the Purchase Price, as allocated among Lenox Village Town Center, Regent Building, and LV III in amounts determined by Purchaser; (f) Seller shall not be in material breach of any of its obligations, covenants or representations under this Agreement; (g) Purchaser shall receive and be entitled at Closing to the benefit of all Permits required for occupancy and operation of the Property; (h) Seller shall deliver, at its cost, pretreatment certificates and an inspection report, dated no earlier than fifteen (15) days prior to Closing, showing no damage or infestation by termites or other wood destroying insects, in each case issued by a licensed extermination company; (i) the Property shall be a minimum of ninety percent (90%) physically occupied by Tenants under Leases; (j) the Improvements shall be at Closing in substantially the same condition as on the Effective Date except for normal wear and tear and such damage from casualty or condemnation that is waived or accepted under Article 11 hereof; and (k) there shall exist no actions, suits, arbitrations, claims, attachments or proceedings against the Property filed by third parties, and there shall exist no actions, suits, arbitrations, claims, attachments or proceedings, assignments for the benefit of creditors, insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization pending against Seller by third parties (or filed by Seller) that would seek to enjoin the consummation of this Agreement or that would materially and adversely affect the Seller’s ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement. If any condition to Purchaser’s obligations hereunder is not fulfilled, then Purchaser shall have no obligation to proceed to Closing, but may do so at its option. Except where Purchaser is in material default of this Agreement, the failure of one of more of the conditions precedent in this Section 3.01 shall allow the Purchaser to terminate this Agreement and receive a return of its Deposit. Thus, if a condition precedent is not fulfilled and Purchaser elects not to proceed to Closing, Purchaser may notify Seller in writing that it elects to terminate this Agreement. Upon such termination, the Escrow Agent shall return the Deposit to Purchaser without limiting Purchaser’s rights in respect of any default by Seller pursuant to Section 12.02 hereof. Purchaser acknowledges that if any of the representations and warranties made by Seller hereunder as of the date hereof are not true and complete in all material respects as if made on and as of the Closing Date, and Purchaser has specific and actual knowledge of such, Purchaser’s sole remedy shall be either to waive the condition described in clause (a) above with respect to such representation and warranty (in which event such representation and warranty shall be deemed amended to reflect the actual state of facts of which Seller has actual knowledge) or terminate this Agreement and receive a return of the Deposit.
3.02    Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver to Purchaser a duly executed Tenant Estoppel Certificate (as hereinafter defined) from all Tenants (the “Retail/Office Tenants”) under commercial retail and office leases at Lenox Village Town Center and the Regent Building (the “Retail/Office Leases”), and guarantor estoppel certificates (the “Guarantor Estoppel Certificates”) from the guarantors of the Retail/Office 

8












Leases, if any, in substantially the form attached hereto and made a part hereof as Exhibit 3.02 or otherwise in a form sufficient for the applicable Retail/Office Tenant to fulfill its obligation to deliver a tenant estoppel certificate under its Retail/Office Lease (the “Tenant Estoppel Certificate”), and dated not more than thirty (30) days prior to the Closing Date. Receipt of Tenant Estoppel Certificates from all Retail/Office Tenants shall be a condition to Purchaser's obligation to close the transactions contemplated hereby. In the event that Purchaser’s lender, if any, requires subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreements (“SNDAs”) from any Retail/Office Tenant, Seller agrees to cooperate with Purchaser in requesting SNDAs from any such Retail/Office Tenant in the form required by Purchaser’s lender. If Seller is unsuccessful in obtaining Tenant Estoppel Certificates from all Retail/Office Tenants as set forth above, or if the Tenant Estoppel Certificates from such Retail/Office Tenants contains or discloses information which is materially different (and less favorable to the landlord) as to the status or terms of such Retail/Office Leases from the applicable information set forth in the Rent Roll, then, in any such event, Purchaser’s sole option shall be to either (a) waive the delivery of the Tenant Estoppel Certificates from any such Retail/Office Tenant and proceed with the Closing, without any abatement or other adjustment in the Purchase Price, or (b) terminate this Agreement, in which event the Deposit shall be refunded by Escrow Agent to Purchaser without any further consent required from Seller and neither party shall have any further rights, obligations or liabilities hereunder except for those provisions that survive the termination of this Agreement. Such election shall be made on or before the Closing Date, and if Purchaser fails to make such an election by such time, Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected to terminate this Agreement as provided in clause (b) of this Section 3.02.


3.03    It is a condition to Seller’s obligations to proceed to Closing that, as of the Closing Date (a) all of Purchaser’s representations and warranties hereunder are true and correct as if made on and as of the Closing Date, (b) Purchaser has performed all of its covenants hereunder, (c) Purchaser has delivered all documents and made all other deliveries required in this Agreement, and (d) all other conditions to Seller’s obligations to proceed to Closing which are set forth in this Agreement are satisfied.  If any condition to Seller’s obligations hereunder is not fulfilled, Seller shall have no obligation to proceed to Closing, but may do so at its option. If a condition precedent is not fulfilled and Seller elects not to proceed to Closing, Seller may terminate this Agreement without limiting Seller’s rights or remedies in respect of any default by Purchaser pursuant to Section 12.01 hereof.
4.    Representations and Warranties of Seller.

Upon written request by Purchaser during the term of this Agreement, Seller shall provide Purchaser with Seller’s monthly operating statements prepared in the ordinary course of business, each of which shall be true, correct and complete in all material respects. 
(n)     The copies of the Service Contracts furnished by Seller to Purchaser as part of the Property Materials are true, correct and complete and, to Seller’s knowledge, there exist no defaults by Seller under any of such Service Contracts.  Other than the Service Contracts furnished by Seller to Purchaser as part of the Property Materials, there are no other written service contracts with regard to the Property which are not terminable at-will and without penalty.  To the knowledge of the Seller, the Seller is not in material breach of any Service Contract. 
(o)     Seller is not a "foreign person" as that term is defined in the I.R.C., Section 1445(F)(3), nor is the sale of the Property subject to any withholding requirements imposed by the Internal Revenue Code, including, but not limited to, Section 1445 thereof.
(p)     Seller shall terminate, at Seller’s sole cost and expense, any management contract with regard to the Property at (or prior to) the Closing.  In addition to the foregoing, Seller shall pay any and all termination fees and penalties, if any, associated with the termination of any management contract.
(q)     To Seller’s knowledge, the mortgage/deed of trust and other such liens reflected on the Title Commitment are the only lien or security interest securing the payment of borrowed or purchase money encumbering the Property or any part thereof.  No event of default has occurred with regard to such documents and no event which, with the giving of notice of the lapse of time, or both, would constitute such event of default now exists.  
(r)     To the Seller’s knowledge, the Property is and will be at Closing, operational and in good condition and repair.

4.02.    The representations and warranties of Seller contained in Section 4.01 shall survive the Closing for a period of twelve (12) months from the date thereof (the “Survival Date”), unless written notice containing a description of such breach shall have been given to Seller prior to the Survival Date (in which case the relevant representations, warranties and indemnities shall survive only as to the pending claim(s) until its final resolution). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Seller’s total liability to Purchaser on account of all claims for breaches of any representation or warranty of Seller under Section 4.01 shall be limited to Five Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($500,000.00).        
4.03.    When used in this Agreement, the term “to Seller’s knowledge” means and is limited to the actual (and not imputed, implied or constructive) current knowledge of David C. McGowan, Jr. and the onsite Property manager; provided, however, neither David C. McGowan, Jr. nor any other officer or employee of Seller shall have any personal liability to Purchaser whatsoever under the term of or in respect of this Agreement.


4.04.  During the period from and after the expiration of the Due Diligence Period and prior to Closing, as and to the extent that Purchaser receives (or Seller receives and delivers to Purchaser) any written Disclosures, as defined in Section 4.05 below, with respect to matters addressed in Section 4.01 which specifically and clearly contains information or facts that are inconsistent with or different from the representations and warranties made in Section 4.01 above and/or the certification made in the updated Rent Roll, and the Closing occurs, then the representations and warranties in Section 4.01 and/or the certification made in the updated Rent Roll will be deemed to be modified and/or superseded by such other written documentation (and, in such event, Seller will no longer have any liability hereunder with respect to the portion of the representation and warranty and/or certification superseded herein, as applicable). Notwithstanding any language to the contrary in this Section 4.04, if prior to Closing David C. McGowan, Jr. has actual knowledge that a representation and warranty made in Section 4.01 or a Seller certification is materially incorrect, and Seller does not promptly (prior to Closing) inform Purchaser of such incorrectness in wiring, then the first sentence of this Section 4.04 shall not be given any legal effect.

THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION 5.03 WILL SURVIVE THE CLOSING OR ANY TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT.


6.    Brokerage.

All negotiations relative to this Agreement and the purchase and sale of the Property as contemplated by and provide for in this Agreement have been conducted by and between Seller and Purchaser without the intervention of any person or other party as agent or broker, except for Vincent Lefler of Jones Lang LaSalle  (“Seller’s Broker”). Any fees or real estate commissions due and owing to Seller’s Broker shall be the sole responsibility of Seller, and Seller will pay such fees or commissions, if any, owed to Seller’s Broker pursuant to the terms of a separate agreement with Seller’s Broker.

the area of the Property in the usual, regular, and ordinary course of Seller’s operations with respect to the Property, and with no concessions other than as set forth on Exhibit 7.02 attached hereto and made a part hereof. In addition, all new leases and lease renewals shall be for a term not less than nine (9) months or more than thirteen (13) months.  Seller shall not enter into leases that are not in accordance with the foregoing, nor shall Seller amend any Lease, waive any default in any material obligation under any Lease, cancel any Lease or accept the surrender of any Lease (except for default in the payment of rent or in performance of another material obligation), in each case, without Purchaser’s prior written consent.  
7.03.    All apartment units located on the Property which have been vacated more than five (5) business days prior to Closing shall be in “rent-ready” (as defined below) condition; provided, however, that if all such vacant apartment units are not in a rent-ready condition at Closing, Buyer shall receive a credit against the Purchase Price of $500.00 for each such unit vacant and not rent-ready; provided further, however, that if any of such vacant apartment units that are not in a rent-ready condition require replacement of carpet, then the $500.00 rent-ready credit shall increase to $1,000.00 for each such unit vacant and not rent-ready. A “rent-ready” unit shall mean a unit that is freshly painted, carpeting that is cleaned or replaced, as necessary, and working appliances and fixtures.
7.04.    Between the date hereof and Closing, Seller shall not incur any obligation (including, without limitation, pursuant to any Service Contract) which will create a liability accruing to Purchaser or the Property after the Closing, except for obligations incurred to satisfy maintenance requirements in the ordinary course of business that are terminable without cause or payment on thirty (30) days notice and which do not create a cumulative liability to Purchaser in excess of Three Thousand and No/100ths Dollars ($3,000.00) or which have been approved in writing by Purchaser.
7.05.    Seller shall not advertise the Property for sale, entertain any offer for the sale of the Property or enter into any contract of sale of the Property or any mortgage affecting the Property or grant any liens or other rights affecting title to the Property.
7.06.    Seller shall not cause or permit the Property to be pledged, offered for sale, sold, hypothecated or encumbered, or otherwise transferred or disposed of nor shall Seller initiate any change on the Real Property with respect to zoning or any other governmental rules or regulations.

8.    Closing Adjustments; Transfer of Tenant Deposits.
8.01.    The following items in respect of the Property shall be apportioned at Closing in an equitable manner as of 11:59 p.m. Central Standard Time on the day prior to the Closing Date (the “Adjustment Date”) so that the income and expense items with respect to the period up to and including the Adjustment Date will be for Seller’s account and the income and expense items with respect to the period after the Adjustment Date will be for Purchaser’s account:
(a)    Rents as and when collected.  If at the time of the Adjustment Date there are fixed rents and other periodic charges, including without limitation any pet rents or other recurring rents and fees (collectively, “Rent”) owed by tenants that have not been collected by Seller and are applicable to any period of time prior to the Adjustment Date, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser a schedule of such uncollected Rents (to the extent then ascertainable), and Purchaser agrees that such Rents, if and when collected, shall be paid by Purchaser to Seller, subject to the following sentence. Rents collected after the Adjustment Date from a tenant who had been in arrears on the Adjustment Date shall be deemed first to be payment of amounts from such tenant in respect of periods subsequent to the Adjustment Date, then to be payments of amounts, if any, due from such tenant in respect of the month in which the Adjustment Date falls, and any balance shall be deemed to be payment of amounts, if any, due from such tenant for months prior to the month in which the Adjustment Date falls. Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to collect Rent arrearages due Seller from tenants, except Purchaser shall not be required to begin litigation or evict any tenant. Purchaser and Seller agree to promptly deliver to the other the portion of any Rents collected by such party to which the other is entitled pursuant to this Section. At the Closing, Purchaser shall receive a credit against the Purchase Price in the amount of all 

19












prepaid rents and refundable Tenant Deposits (as opposed to processing, application, or other nonrefundable fees) made under the leases (to the extent transferred to Purchaser at Closing). Purchaser shall receive a credit at Closing for any unpaid brokerage commissions or leasing expenses relating to the Leases and the leases entered into by Seller after the date hereof.
(b)    Real and personal property shall be prorated using a calendar tax year beginning January 1 and ending December 31. All real and personal property taxes and other taxes imposed on the owner of the Property, as owner, and not paid by others.  If the Closing shall occur before the taxes are fixed for the current tax year, the apportionment of such taxes shall be tentatively made on the basis of the best available information on the current assessment and tax rate and shall be finally adjusted (and any necessary payments shall be made) at such time as the tax bill shall be issued.  If after the Closing there shall be a retroactive increase in the assessment of the Property and a corresponding increase in the real or personal property taxes imposed on the owner of the Property: (i) if such increase (other than an increase arising solely from the sale of the Property to Purchaser) shall relate to the tax year in which the Closing occurred, then such increase shall be prorated by Seller and Purchaser on a per diem basis based on their respective periods of ownership during the period such increase is effective, (ii) if such increase shall relate to any tax year subsequent to the tax year which the Closing occurred, such increase shall be the obligation of Purchaser, and (iii) if such increase shall relate to any tax year prior to the tax year in which the Closing occurred, such increase shall be the obligation of Seller. 
(c)    Utility charges, payable by the owner of the Property, including water and sewer charges, except that where practicable, utility readings shall be taken on the day prior to the Closing, and Seller shall bear the charges for utility services based on such reading and Purchaser shall bear charges for all such utility services thereafter.
(d)    Income from and charges under the Service Contracts not terminated at Closing and any transferable permits and licenses necessary for the operation of the Property. Purchaser shall receive a credit at Closing for the unamortized portion of any advance payment, bonus, credit, fee or other consideration incurred or paid by any contractor in connection with any Service Contract surviving the Closing, determined on a straight line basis over the term of the Service Contract.
8.02.    In addition to the foregoing specific apportionments, Seller shall receive all other income accrued to and including the Adjustment Date and shall pay all other expenses accrued or incurred in the operation of the Property on or prior to the Adjustment Date and Purchaser shall receive all other income accruing after the Adjustment Date and shall pay all other expenses incurred or accrued in the operation of the Property after the Adjustment Date.  If Seller has not paid all tenants' allowances at Closing, Seller shall pay over all of those amounts to the tenants or deposit them with Purchaser.  Any item of income or expense which should be apportioned and which is not or cannot be apportioned at Closing shall be duly apportioned as soon as determined.
8.03.      Purchaser shall pay (a) all transfer taxes on the transfer of the Property and Purchaser’s taking title to the Property, (b) all recording costs and taxes incurred in 

20












connection therewith, (c) the cost of any endorsements to the Title Policy required by Purchaser and (d) the cost for the Updated Survey.  Seller shall pay (a) the premium for the Title Policy, including, without limitation, the cost of the Title Commitment and any title search or cancellation fee associated therewith, (b) the cost of preparation of the Special Warranty Deed, and (c) the cost of a release of any liens upon the Property. Purchaser and Seller will share equally the reasonable closing fees charged by the Escrow Agent.  Seller shall pay its own attorneys’ fees, and Purchaser shall pay its own attorneys’ fees.  All other costs and expenses of the transaction contemplated hereby shall be borne by the party incurring the same.  The costs described in this Section 8.03 shall be referred to in this Agreement as the “Closing Costs.”  The provisions of this Section 8.03 shall survive the termination of this Agreement to the extent such Closing Costs are incurred.
8.04.    In the event of any reduction in the assessed valuation of the Real Property for any fiscal year, the net amount of any tax savings, after deduction of expenses and tax service fees shall (a) with respect to fiscal years (for real estate taxes) ending prior to the fiscal year in which the Closing Date shall occur, be payable to Seller, (b) with respect to the fiscal year (for real estate taxes) in which the Closing Date shall occur, be adjusted between Seller and Purchaser as of the Closing Date so that the amount of such savings with respect to the period up to (and including) the Adjustment Date shall be payable to Seller and the remaining amount shall be payable to Purchaser and (c) with respect to all fiscal years after the fiscal year in which the Closing Date shall occur, be payable to Purchaser. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser shall not adjust or settle any such protest or proceeding with respect to such fiscal years ending prior to the tax year in which the Closing Date shall occur without Seller’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Any such protest or proceeding which relates in whole or in part to any period after the Closing Date shall be prosecuted by Purchaser. Any such protest or proceeding which relates in whole or in part to periods prior to the Closing Date may be prosecuted by Seller provided any settlement of the same shall be subject to the consent of Purchaser, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Purchaser and Seller shall in good faith jointly prosecute such protest or proceeding which relates in whole or in part to the tax year which includes the Closing Date.
8.05.    At the Closing, the above-referenced items shall be prorated and adjusted as indicated. If final prorations cannot be made at Closing for any item being prorated under this Agreement, including taxes, then Purchaser and Seller agree to allocate such items on a fair and equitable basis at Closing, with final adjustment to be made as soon as reasonably possible after the Closing, but no later than (i) with respect to real estate taxes, 30 days after receipt of the final tax bill for the applicable period, and (ii) in all other cases, December 31, 2015, to the effect that the accrual of income and expense items with respect to the period up to and including the Adjustment Date will be for Seller’s account and the income and expense items with respect to the period after the Adjustment Date will be for Purchaser’s account. Payments in connection with the final adjustment shall be due within thirty (30) days of written notice. If any refund of real property taxes is made after the Closing Date for a period prior to the Closing Date, the same shall be applied first to the cost incurred in obtaining same; the balance, if any, shall be paid to Seller (for the period prior to the Closing 

21












Date) and to Purchaser (for the period commencing with the Closing Date). Seller shall pay over to Purchaser any amounts received by it following the Closing in respect of the Property to which Purchaser is entitled not more than thirty (30) days from the date received.
8.06.    All Tenant Deposits held by Seller pursuant to the terms of the Leases and the leases entered into by Seller after the date hereof shall, together with accrued interest thereon, if any, be transferred to Purchaser on the Closing Date, or Purchaser shall receive a credit in such amount against the Purchase Price, and thereafter Purchaser shall indemnify Seller from and against any and all claims, by tenants, their successors and assigns for such Tenant Deposits and interest thereon, but only to the extent so transferred to Purchaser.
8.07.    The provisions of this Article 8 shall survive the Closing.
9.    Closing Documents.

The foregoing addresses may be changed by written notice to the other party as provided herein. Counsel for any party may give notices to the other party with the same effect as if given by the party.  A copy of any notice that is sent to the Escrow Agent by either party shall also be sent by such party to the other party.  
11.    Damage to Property; Taking.
11.01.    If, prior to the Closing, the Property or any part thereof is damaged by casualty or is taken or is the subject of a notice of taking by eminent domain then Seller shall promptly notify Purchaser and, in the case of a casualty, the parties shall cooperate to assess and evaluate the damage or taking.  
11.02.    If, prior to the Closing, the Property or any part thereof is damaged by casualty for which the parties agree or in the professional judgment of a licensed non-biased engineer in the City of Nashville, Tennessee, promptly selected by Seller (“Engineer”) (i) the cost of repair does not exceed, in the aggregate, Two Hundred Fifty Thousand and No/100ths Dollars ($250,000.00), and (ii) the time necessary to restore the Property back to 

26












its prior condition is less than ninety (90) days from the date of the casualty, the Closing shall proceed without regard to such damage and Seller shall assign to Purchaser all insurance proceeds, and claims of Seller thereto, attributable to the Property arising from the casualty, together with the proceeds of any rent loss insurance allocable to periods after the Closing Date, and Purchaser shall receive a credit against the Purchase Price equal to the positive difference, if any, of (a) the expected cost of such repair as determined above less (b) the amount of insurance proceeds expected to be realized as a result of such casualty, taking into account deductibles, coinsurance requirements and damage from such casualty the cost of repairing of which is not covered by existing insurance, all as reasonably determined by Purchaser, subject to the reasonable approval of Seller.
11.03.    If the Property or any part thereof (i) is damaged by casualty for which the parties agree or in the professional judgment of the Engineer (a) the cost of repair is in excess of Two Hundred Fifty Thousand and No/100ths Dollars ($250,000.00) or (b) the time necessary to restore the Property back to its prior condition is ninety (90) days or longer from the date of the casualty, or (ii) is taken or is the subject of a notice of taking by eminent domain, then Purchaser may elect to terminate this Agreement and receive a refund of the Deposit.  If Purchaser does not terminate this Agreement pursuant to the preceding sentence, the Closing shall proceed without regard to such damage, taking or notice of taking, as the case may be, and Seller shall assign to Purchaser all insurance proceeds, and claims of Seller thereto, attributable to the Property arising from the casualty, together with the proceeds of any rent loss insurance allocable to periods after the Closing Date, and Purchaser shall receive a credit against the Purchase Price equal to the deductible amount and/or coinsurance amount under the applicable insurance policy, or pay over and assign to Purchaser all awards recovered or recoverable on account of such taking, as the case may be.  If Purchaser does not terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Article 11, then Seller shall not compromise, settle, or adjust any claims to such proceeds, or awards, without Purchaser’s prior written consent.  If Purchaser terminates this Agreement pursuant to this Article 11, then upon such termination, the Escrow Agent shall return the Deposit to Purchaser, and the parties shall have no further rights or obligations hereunder except as otherwise expressly provided herein.


12.    Remedies
12.01    If all of the conditions to Purchaser’s obligation to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement have been satisfied or waived in writing by Purchaser, and if Purchaser should fail to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement for any reason other than Seller’s default pursuant to Section 12.02  herein, failure of a condition to Purchaser’s obligation to close, or the exercise by Purchaser of an express right of termination granted herein, then Seller shall give Purchaser written notice of such failure and Purchaser shall then have five (5) business days after receipt of Seller’s notice of such default in which to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. If Purchaser does not cure such default within said five (5) business days, then Seller shall be entitled, as Seller’s sole and exclusive remedy, to terminate this Agreement and retain the Deposit as liquidated damages.  The parties have agreed that Seller's actual damages, in the event of a default by Purchaser as described above, would be extremely difficult or 

27












impracticable to determine.  THEREFORE, THE PARTIES ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE AMOUNT OF THE DEPOSIT HAS BEEN AGREED UPON AS THE PARTIES' BEST, AND THEY BELIEVE REASONABLE, ESTIMATE OF SELLER'S DAMAGES AND AS SELLER'S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY AGAINST PURCHASER, AT LAW OR IN EQUITY, IN THE EVENT OF A DEFAULT UNDER THIS AGREEMENT ON THE PART OF PURCHASER AS STATED ABOVE.


12.02    If all of the conditions to Seller’s obligation to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement have been satisfied or waived in writing by Seller, and if Seller should fail to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement for any reason other than Purchaser’s default pursuant to Section 12.01  herein, failure of a condition to Seller’s obligation to close, or the exercise by Seller of an express right of termination granted herein, then Purchaser shall give Seller written notice of such failure and Seller shall then have five (5) business days after receipt of Purchaser’s notice of such default in which to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. If Seller does not cure such default within said five (5) business days, then Purchaser may, at its option, either (a) terminate this Agreement, in which event the Deposit shall be returned to Purchaser by the Escrow Agent and Seller shall reimburse Purchaser for (i) Purchaser’s actual and verifiable out-of-pocket third party costs and expenses paid to unrelated and unaffiliated third party consultants in connection with the performance of examinations, inspections and/or investigations pursuant to this Agreement, and Purchaser’s attorneys in connection with negotiation of this Agreement and matters related thereto, in an aggregate amount not to exceed $150,000.00, and (B) Purchaser’s actual and verifiable application or commitment fee, rate lock or other non-refundable fee paid to any prospective lender in an amount not to exceed $1,150,000.00; or (b) pursue an action for specific performance limited to cause Seller to convey the Property to Purchaser (in exchange for payment of the Purchase Price); provided, that, Purchaser must initiate such claim for specific performance no later than sixty (60) days after Purchaser’s written notice of breach. 


12.03    The provisions of this Article 12 shall not limit or restrict Purchaser or Seller from seeking to enforce or otherwise seeking damages relating to any provisions of this Agreement which expressly survive the termination of this Agreement, Purchaser’s indemnity of Seller pursuant to Section 2.01 above, or the mutual indemnities set forth in Article 6 above.


13.    Escrow.
13.01.    The Deposit shall be held in escrow by Escrow Agent in an interest bearing account until disbursed as herein provided.  Any interest accrued on the Deposit shall be paid to whichever party is entitled to the Deposit in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. The interest earned on the Deposit shall at Purchaser’s election either be credited against the Purchase Price or paid to Purchaser at Closing.  The Deposit shall be held and disbursed by Escrow Agent in the following manner:
(a)    to Seller at the Closing upon consummation of the Closing; or

28












(b)    to Seller upon receipt by Escrow Agent of written demand therefor stating that Purchaser has failed to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in accordance with the provisions of Section 12.01 herein; provided, however, that Escrow Agent shall not honor such demand until at least ten (10) days after it has sent a copy of such demand to Purchaser, nor thereafter, if Escrow Agent shall have received written notice of objection from Purchaser in accordance with the provisions of Section 13.02; or
(c)    to Purchaser upon receipt of written demand therefor, stating that either (i) this Agreement has been terminated pursuant to a provision hereof and certifying the basis for such termination and that Purchaser is entitled to the Deposit pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, or (ii) Seller has failed to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in accordance with the provisions of Section 12.02 herein or that Purchaser is otherwise entitled to the Deposit under the provisions of this Agreement; provided, however, that after the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, Escrow Agent shall not honor such demand until at least ten (10) days after it has sent a copy of such demand to Seller, nor thereafter if Escrow Agent shall have received written notice of objection from Seller in accordance with the provisions of Section 13.02.  If Purchaser elects to terminate this Agreement prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, then Escrow Agent shall pay the entire Deposit to Purchaser as soon as practicable following receipt of the demand therefor from Purchaser, and this Agreement shall thereupon terminate.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no notice from Escrow Agent to Seller shall be required as a condition precedent for or in connection with the release of the entire Deposit to Purchaser by Escrow Agent on or prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period and Escrow Agent shall release such funds to Purchaser even if Seller objects thereto but Escrow Agent shall nonetheless promptly notify Seller upon any such release.
13.02.    Except as provided in the last two sentences of Section 13.01(c), upon receipt of written demand for the Deposit by Purchaser or Seller pursuant to clause (b) or (c) of Section 13.01, Escrow Agent shall, within two business days, send a copy thereof to the other party.  The other party shall have the right to object to the delivery of the Deposit by sending written notice of such objection to Escrow Agent within the greater of five (5) days or three (3) business days after Escrow Agent delivers a copy of the written demand to the objecting party but not thereafter.  Such notice shall set forth the basis for objecting to the delivery of the Deposit. Upon receipt of such notice, Escrow Agent shall promptly send a copy thereof to the party who made the written demand.
13.03.    Except as provided in the last two sentences of Section 13.01(c), in the event of any dispute between the parties regarding the Deposit, Escrow Agent shall disregard all instructions received and at its option either (i) hold the Deposit until the dispute is mutually resolved and Escrow Agent is advised of said resolution in writing by both Seller and Purchaser, or Escrow Agent is otherwise instructed by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, or (ii) deposit the Deposit into a court of competent jurisdiction (whereupon Escrow Agent shall be released and relieved of any and all liability and obligations hereunder from and after the date of such deposit).

29












13.04.    Except as provided in the last two sentences of Section 13.01(c), in the event Escrow Agent shall be uncertain as to its duties or rights hereunder or shall receive conflicting instructions, claims or demands from the parties hereto, or instructions which conflict with any of the provisions of this Agreement, Escrow Agent shall be entitled (but not obligated) to refrain from taking any action other than to keep safely the Deposit until Escrow Agent shall be instructed otherwise in writing signed by both Seller and Purchaser, or by final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.
13.05.    Escrow Agent may rely upon, and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon, any written notice, instruction or request furnished to it hereunder and believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties, provided that any modification of this Article 13 shall be signed by Escrow Agent, Purchaser and Seller.
13.06.    Seller and Purchaser shall jointly and severally hold Escrow Agent harmless against any loss, damage, liability or expense incurred by Escrow Agent not caused by its willful misconduct or gross negligence, arising out of or in connection with its entering into this Agreement and the carrying out of its duties hereunder, including the reasonable costs and expenses of defending itself against any claim of liability or participating in any legal proceeding.  Escrow Agent may consult with counsel of its choice, and shall have full and complete authorization and protection for any action taken or suffered by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with the opinion of such counsel; provided, that the prevailing party in any dispute hereunder shall be entitled to recover such costs from the other party.
13.07.    Escrow Agent may resign at will and be discharged from its duties or obligations hereunder by giving notice in writing of such resignation specifying a date when such resignation shall take effect; provided, however, that (i) prior to such resignation a substitute escrow agent is approved in writing by Seller and Purchaser, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, or (ii) Escrow Agent shall deposit the Deposit with a court of competent jurisdiction.  After such resignation, Escrow Agent shall have no further duties or liability hereunder.
13.08.    Purchaser and Seller, together, shall have the right to terminate the appointment of Escrow Agent hereunder by giving to it notice of such termination, specifying the date upon which such termination shall take effect and designating a replacement escrow agent, who shall sign a counterpart of this Agreement.  Upon demand of such successor escrow agent, the Deposit shall be turned over and delivered to such successor escrow agent, who shall thereupon be bound by all of the provisions hereof.
13.09.    Seller and Purchaser shall be jointly and severally responsible for the reimbursement to Escrow Agent of all out-of-pocket expenses, disbursements and advances (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred or made by Escrow Agent in connection with the carrying out of its duties hereunder, except to the extent caused by or attributed to the breach, default, gross negligence or willful misconduct of Escrow Agent; provided, that the prevailing party in any dispute hereunder shall be entitled to recover such costs from the other party.

30












13.10.    Escrow Agent’s agreements and obligations hereunder shall terminate and Escrow Agent shall be discharged from further duties and obligations hereunder upon final payment of the Deposit in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
14.    Survival.
14.01    The representations, warranties, covenants, agreements and indemnities contained in this Agreement shall not survive the Closing except to the extent expressly provided herein.


15.    Miscellaneous.
15.01.    No waiver by any party of any breach hereunder shall be deemed a waiver of any other or subsequent breach.

No assignment shall relieve the assignor of any obligations hereunder.

15.05.    This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Tennessee without reference to the choice of law doctrine of such State.

Any and all such Former Tenant Lease Files may be removed from the Property by Seller on or before the Closing Date.  
    
15.18.    This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Tennessee.

15.19    Seller hereby acknowledges and agrees that Purchaser has informed Seller that Purchaser will be required to terminate this Agreement prior to the end of the Due Diligence Period unless the Committee of the Board of Purchaser approves the terms of this Agreement prior to the expiration of said Due Diligence Period.


15.20     Neither party shall not make any public announcement or disclosure of any information related to this Agreement to third parties before the Closing, without the prior written specific consent of the other party; provided, however, that (a) either may make disclosure of this Agreement to third parties and their own employees who have reasonable need to know such information; and (b) either party may make disclosures as required by law, rule, or regulation, including, but not limited to, any imposed by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser shall have the right after the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, following advance written notice to Seller, to release a press notice containing only such information as Purchaser is required

15.21    Either party may consummate the sale of the Property as part of a so-called like-kind exchange (the “Exchange”) pursuant to §1031 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, provided that: all costs, fees, and expenses attendant to the Exchange shall be the sole responsibility of the relevant exchanging party; the consummation or accomplishment of the Exchange shall not be a condition precedent or condition subsequent to the relevant exchanging party’s  obligations and covenants under this Agreement; and Purchaser shall not be required to acquire or hold title to any real property other than the Property for purposes of consummating the Exchange.  Each party agrees to reasonably cooperate with the exchanging party, and take such actions as may be reasonably requested by the exchanging party, to effect the Exchange.


15.22    Seller hereby agrees to reasonably cooperate (at no third party cost to Seller) with Purchaser during the term of this Agreement and subsequent to Closing in the preparation by Purchaser and its advisors, at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense, of audited financial statements of the Property for the most recent completed fiscal year of Seller and the current fiscal year-to-date that comply with Form 8-K filing requirements and Rule 3-14 of Regulation S-X, both as promulgated by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, including current and historical operating statements and information regarding the Property. The provisions of this Section 15.22 hereof shall survive the Closing until such time as all filing requirements of Purchaser regarding Purchaser’s acquisition of the Property have been satisfied.
