the Closing Date, or (y) to the extent Seller credits Buyer at Closing with the costs of performing
such covenants and obligations, before the Closing Date, and (ii) all obligations under the Leases
relating to the physical and environmental condition of the Property regardless of whether such
obligations arise before, on or after the Closing Date (provided that notice of such obligations is

the extent that any action shall have been or was required to be taken with respect to any such
obligations prior to the Closing Date); and (b) assume and agree to discharge, perform and comply
with each and every liability, duty, covenant, debt or obligation of Seller resulting from, arising
out of, or in any way related to any Service Contracts, Licenses and Permits or Other Intangibles

ARTICLE V




INSPECTION OF PROPERTY




5.1 Evaluation of the Property. Prior to the Effective Date, Buyer and its authorized
agents and representatives (for purposes of this Article V, the “Licensee Parties”) had the
opportunity, subject to the rights of any Tenants, to enter upon the Real Property at all
reasonable times during normal business hours to perform an inspection of the Property. As a
courtesy to Buyer, Seller shall permit Buyer and the Licensee Parties to have the continued right,
from the Effective Date until the Closing or earlier termination of this Agreement, to enter upon
the Real Property to perform any additional inspections of the Property that Buyer may desire,
subject to and in compliance with the provisions of this Article V, but in no event shall Buyer
have the right to terminate this Agreement as a result of any such additional inspections. Buyer
will provide to Seller notice of the intention of Buyer or the other Licensee Parties to enter the
Real Property at least one full Business Day (or such shorter period of time as may be agreed to by
Seller) prior to such intended entry and specify the intended purpose therefor and the inspections
and examinations contemplated to be made and with whom any Licensee Party will communicate. Buyer
shall not communicate with or contact Lender, any of the Tenants or any of the Authorities without
the prior written consent of Seller, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
At Seller’s option, Seller may be present for any such entry, inspection examination or
communication. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no physical testing or
sampling shall be conducted during any such entry by Buyer or any Licensee Party upon the Real
Property without Seller’s specific prior written consent. Seller agrees that its consent shall not
be unreasonably withheld with respect to (i) non-invasive physical testing or sampling of the type
customarily required for a Phase I environmental audit, and (ii) invasive physical testing or
sampling if the need for such testing is established by a Phase I audit.



5.2 Document Review.




(a) Seller has previously made available to Buyer, via an internet due diligence website
(the “Diligence Website”), copies of the following (collectively, the
“Documents”): (i) a rent roll statement with respect to the Property prepared by
Seller, in the form and containing such information as customarily maintained by Seller from
time to time, together with copies of all Leases referenced on such rent roll and copies of
any subleases or amendments relating thereto and Tenant correspondence in Seller’s
possession (which may be reviewed at the Property); (ii) the Existing Surveys; (iii) all
Service Contracts; (iv) the Existing Loan Documents; (v) Seller’s existing policies of title
insurance; and (vi) any of the following items pertaining to the Property to the extent they
exist and are in Seller’s possession: copies of real estate tax bills for the current year
and the immediately preceding calendar year; monthly cash flow reports for the current year
to date; copies of the most recent engineering studies and environmental audits prepared for
Seller in connection with the Property; the Licenses and Permits; and any lists of Personal
Property and such other documents reasonably requested by Buyer, to the extent in Seller’s
possession. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Buyer shall not have
the right to review or inspect materials not directly related to the leasing,
maintenance and/or management of the Property, including, without limitation, all of
Seller’s internal memoranda, financial projections, budgets (provided, however, that Seller
has or will deliver copies of the 2009 and 2010 budget and 2009 operating statements for the
Property), information regarding tax and operating escalations, tenant accounts, appraisals,
proposals for work not actually undertaken, accounting and tax records (other than real
estate taxes) and similar proprietary, elective or confidential information (the
“Proprietary Information”).

(b) Buyer acknowledges the Documents are proprietary and confidential in nature and have
been provided to Buyer solely to assist Buyer in determining the desirability of purchasing
the Property. Subject only to the provisions of Article XII, prior to Closing, Buyer agrees
not to disclose the contents of the Documents or any of the provisions, terms or conditions
contained therein to any party outside of Buyer’s organization other than its attorneys,
partners, accountants, engineers, consultants, proposed lenders or proposed investors
(collectively, the “Permitted Outside Parties”). Buyer further agrees that within
its organization, or as to the Permitted Outside Parties, prior to Closing, the Documents
will be disclosed and exhibited only to those persons within Buyer’s organization or to
those Permitted Outside Parties who are responsible for determining the desirability of
Buyer’s acquisition of the Property and/or their investment therein, and Buyer shall be
responsible for ensuring that such persons and Permitted Outside Parties maintain the
confidentiality of such Documents as required by this Agreement and the Confidentiality
Agreement. Buyer further acknowledges that the Documents and other information relating to
the leasing arrangements between Seller and Tenants are proprietary and confidential in
nature. Buyer agrees not to divulge the contents of such Documents and other information
except in strict accordance with the confidentiality standards set forth in this Section 5.2
and Article XII. In permitting Buyer and the Permitted Outside Parties to review the
Documents and other information to assist Buyer, Seller has not waived any privilege or
claim of confidentiality with respect thereto, and no third party benefits or relationships
of any kind, either express or implied, have been offered, intended or created by Seller,
and any such claims are expressly rejected by Seller and waived by Buyer, and Buyer shall be
responsible for ensuring that the Permitted Outside Parties also agree to such waiver.




(c) Buyer acknowledges that some of the Documents may have been prepared by third parties,
including the property manager, and may have been prepared prior to Seller’s ownership of
the Property. Buyer hereby acknowledges that Seller has not made and does not make any
representation or warranty regarding the truth, accuracy or completeness of the Documents or
the sources thereof except as otherwise specifically set forth in this Agreement. Seller
has not undertaken any independent investigation as to the truth, accuracy or completeness
of the Documents and is providing the Documents solely as an accommodation to Buyer, but
Seller has no knowledge that any of the Documents is false or misleading in any material way
as and when such Documents were prepared.

5.3 Entry and Inspection Obligations; Termination of Agreement.




(a) Buyer agrees that in entering upon the Real Property and inspecting the Property, Buyer
and the other Licensee Parties will use commercially reasonable efforts to not disturb the
Tenants or interfere with the use of the Property in a manner that violates the terms of the
Leases; unreasonably interfere with the operation and maintenance of the Real Property or
Improvements; damage any part of the Property or any personal property owned or held by
Tenants or any other person or entity; injure or otherwise cause bodily harm to Seller or
any Tenant, or to any of their respective agents, guests, invitees, contractors and
employees, or to any other person or entity; permit any liens to attach to the Real Property
by reason of the exercise of Buyer’s rights under this Article V; or reveal or disclose any
information obtained concerning the Property and the Documents to anyone outside Buyer’s
organization, except in accordance with the confidentiality standards set forth in
Section 5.2(b) and Article XII. Buyer will, and shall cause its contractors who perform
physical testing at the Real Property or Improvements to, maintain commercial general
liability (occurrence) insurance on terms and in amounts reasonably satisfactory to Seller
and Workers’ Compensation insurance in statutory limits, and, if Buyer or any Licensee Party
performs any physical inspection or sampling at the Real Property or Improvements, in
accordance with Section 5.1, Buyer shall maintain (if applicable), and shall cause the
relevant Licensee Parties to maintain, errors and omissions insurance and contractor’s
pollution liability insurance on terms and in amounts acceptable to Seller. In each case
(other than with respect to Worker’s Compensation insurance), such policies shall insure
Seller, Buyer, and such other parties as Seller shall reasonably request, and Buyer shall
deliver to Seller evidence of insurance verifying such coverage prior to entry upon the Real
Property or Improvements to perform testing. Buyer shall also (i) promptly pay when due the
costs of all entry and inspections and examinations done with regard to the Property;
(ii) cause any inspection to be conducted in accordance with standards customarily employed
in the industry and in compliance with all Governmental Regulations; (iii) in the event this
Agreement is terminated, at Seller’s request, furnish to Seller copies of any third-party
studies, reports or test results received by Buyer regarding the Property; and (iv) restore
the Real Property and Improvements to substantially the same condition in which the same
were found before any such entry upon the Real Property and inspection or examination was
undertaken.




(b) Buyer hereby indemnifies, defends and holds Seller, Seller’s Affiliates, and the agents,
directors, partners, members, officers, employees, successors and assigns of each of them
(collectively, the “Seller Parties”) harmless from and against any and all liens,
claims, causes of action, damages, liabilities, demands, suits, and obligations to third
parties, together with all losses, penalties, costs and expenses relating to any of the
foregoing (including but not limited to court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees), arising
out of any inspections, investigations, examinations, samplings or tests conducted by Buyer
or any of the Licensee Parties, whether prior to or after the date hereof, with respect to
the Property or any violation of the provisions of this Article V, except to the extent that
such losses are attributable to the negligence or willful misconduct of Seller or
the Seller Parties; provided, however, that Buyer will not be liable to Seller Parties
solely as a result of the discovery by Buyer of a pre-existing condition on the Property
except to the extent the activities of Buyer or any of the Licensee Parties exacerbate the
condition, with Buyer’s liability, if any, limited to the extent of any exacerbation caused
by Buyer or the Licensee Parties.

(c) Buyer acknowledges that it has completed its inspection of the Documents, Real Property
and Improvements, and that Buyer has accepted the same. Buyer further acknowledges and
agrees that there shall be no reduction of or credits against the Purchase Price as a result
of any matters disclosed by such inspections, all of which matters are hereby accepted by
Buyer.



5.4 Estoppel Certificates.




(a) As a condition to Buyer’s obligation to close the transaction contemplated by this
Agreement, Seller shall, on or before four (4) Business Days prior to the Closing Date (the
“Estoppel Delivery Date”), obtain Acceptable Estoppels (as hereinafter defined)
dated no earlier than April 1, 2010, from those Tenants whose Leases will continue after
Closing and which represent at least eighty percent (80%) of the occupied square footage of
the Improvements (the “Required Percentage”), provided, however, that all Major
Tenants shall be included as part of the Required Percentage. Seller shall deliver a
proposed estoppel certificate to each Tenant whose Lease will continue after Closing. Such
estoppel certificates shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit C-1 attached
hereto (the “Approved Form”); provided, however, that if any Tenant is required or
permitted under the terms of its Lease to provide a different form of estoppel, provide less
information or to otherwise make different statements in a certification of such nature than
are set forth on the Approved Form, then Buyer shall accept any such alternate form. An
executed estoppel certificate in the form described in this Section 5.4, provided no
material default or other material qualification is raised therein, is hereinafter referred
to as an “Acceptable Estoppel”. For purposes of this Section 5.4, defaults or
qualifications shall be deemed to be material to the extent they exceed $100,000.00 in the
aggregate for all executed estoppel certificates.




(b) A copy of each executed estoppel certificate received by Seller from a Tenant shall be
delivered by Seller to Buyer promptly after Seller receives such estoppel certificate from
the applicable Tenant. If Buyer reasonably believes that an estoppel certificate received
from a Tenant is not an Acceptable Estoppel, Buyer shall notify Seller in writing (a
“Rejection Notice”) within four (4) business days of receipt of such estoppel
certificate from Seller (and in any event prior to Closing). Failure to so timely notify
Seller shall result in such estoppel certificate being deemed to constitute an Acceptable
Estoppel. If Buyer timely delivers a Rejection Notice, Seller may, at its option but
without any obligation, elect to cure such estoppel deficiencies prior to Closing
(including, but not limited to, giving Buyer a credit against the Purchase Price or
providing Buyer an indemnity relating to any such deficiency). Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary set forth herein, Buyer



Agreement of Sale and Purchase


 


15









 





agrees that it shall not be reasonable to
object to any estoppel which is substantially in the Approved Form, which is consistent with
the Leases, the Rent Roll and the AR Report, and which does not allege any “material”
defaults or claims (as defined in Section 5.4(a) above, when aggregated with all other
executed estoppels). Further, in no event shall (i) the insertion by a Tenant of
“knowledge” and similar qualifiers, or (ii) the deletion or modification of paragraph 9 of
the Approved Form, be grounds for Buyer to reject said estoppel as not being an Acceptable
Estoppel in compliance with this Section 5.4. Buyer acknowledges that Seller has provided
Buyer with copies of recent estoppel certificates obtained by Seller from the Tenants, and
Buyer agrees that an estoppel certificate from a given Tenant which is in substantially the
same format as the most recent estoppel delivered by such Tenant (and modified to reflect
updated facts that have changed since the date of the prior estoppels) shall also be an
Acceptable Estoppel.


(c) If Seller has not delivered the Required Percentage of Acceptable Estoppels on or prior
to the Estoppel Delivery Date, Seller shall have the right, but not the obligation,
exercisable in its sole discretion, to provide Buyer with a certificate in the form of
Exhibit C-2 attached hereto, on or prior to the Closing Date, for Tenants occupying,
in the aggregate, no more than five percent (5%) of the occupied square footage of the
Improvements, and such Seller’s certificates shall apply against the Required Percentage;
provided, however, that Seller may not substitute a Seller’s certificate for an estoppel
from a Major Tenant or for a Tenant which has previously delivered an estoppel in connection
with this transaction. In such event, Seller shall have the right, on a post-Closing basis,
to continue to obtain estoppel certificates from Tenants to reach the Required Percentage.
Seller’s liability under such Seller’s certificate(s) (i) shall expire and be of no further
force and effect as of the earlier of (A) twelve (12) months following the Closing Date, and
(B) with respect to each statement covered by such Sellers’ certificate, the date that Buyer
receives an Acceptable Estoppel from such Tenant.




(d) In no event shall Seller incur any liability in connection with failing to obtain the
Required Percentage of estoppel certificates by the Estoppel Delivery Date, provided that
Seller delivered the estoppel certificate forms to the Tenants, requested in good faith that
the Tenants promptly return them, and made at least one additional written request to the
Tenants requesting the return of the estoppel certificates. If Seller has been unable to
obtain the Required Percentage of estoppel certificates by the Estoppel Delivery Date, then
Buyer’s sole remedy is that Buyer may, by giving Seller and Escrow Agent written notice by
the Closing Date (as extended, if applicable), terminate this Agreement in which event the
Earnest Money shall be returned to Buyer and neither Buyer nor Seller shall have any further
liability or obligation hereunder except for the Termination Surviving Obligations.

5.5 SALE “AS IS”. Except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement or
Seller’s closing documents, neither Seller nor any of Seller’s Affiliates nor any other person is
making, and Seller specifically disclaims, any representation, warranty or assurance whatsoever to
Buyer, either express or implied, with respect to the status of title to or the maintenance,
repair, condition, design or marketability of the Property, or any portion thereof, including but
not limited to (a) any implied or express warranty of merchantability, (b) any implied or express
warranty of fitness for a particular purpose, (c) any implied or express warranty of conformity to
models or samples of materials, (d) any rights of Buyer under appropriate statutes to claim
diminution of consideration, (e) any claim by Buyer for damages because of defects, whether known
or unknown, with respect to the Improvements or the Personal Property, (f) the financial condition
or prospects of the Property and (g) the compliance or lack thereof of the Real Property or the
Improvements with Governmental Regulations, including without limitation Environmental Laws, now
existing or hereafter enacted or promulgated, it being the express intention of Seller and Buyer
that, except as expressly set forth in this Agreement or Seller’s closing documents, the Property
will be conveyed and transferred to Buyer in its present condition and state of repair, “AS IS,
WHERE IS, WITH ALL FAULTS.”



(a) Buyer represents that it is a knowledgeable, experienced and sophisticated buyer of real
estate, and that it is relying solely on its own expertise and that of Buyer’s consultants
in purchasing the Property. Buyer has been given a sufficient opportunity to conduct and
has conducted or will conduct such inspections, investigations and other independent
examinations of the Property and related matters as Buyer deems necessary, including but not
limited to the physical and environmental conditions thereof, and will rely upon same and
not upon any statements of Seller (excluding the matters represented by Seller in
Sections 8.1 and 8.2 hereof or Seller’s closing documents) nor of any officer, director,
employee, agent or attorney of Seller. Upon Closing, Buyer will assume the risk that
adverse matters, including, but not limited to, adverse physical and environmental
conditions, may not have been revealed by Buyer’s inspections and investigations. Seller is
not liable or bound in any manner by any oral or written statements, representations or
information pertaining to the Property furnished by any real estate broker, agent, employee
or other person, unless the same are specifically set forth or referred to herein. Buyer
acknowledges that the Purchase Price reflects the “AS IS, WHERE IS” nature of this sale and
any faults, liabilities, defects or other adverse matters that may be associated with the
Property. Buyer, with Buyer’s counsel, has fully reviewed the disclaimers and waivers set
forth in this Agreement and understands the significance of each and agrees that the
disclaimers and other agreements set forth herein are an integral part of this Agreement,
and that Seller would not have agreed to sell the Property to Buyer for the Purchase Price
without the disclaimers and other agreements set forth in this Agreement.




(b) Buyer and Buyer’s Affiliates further covenant and agree not to sue Seller and the Seller
Parties and release Seller and the Seller Parties of and from and waive any claim or cause
of action, including without limitation any strict liability claim or cause of action, that
Buyer or Buyer’s Affiliates may have against Seller or the Seller Parties under any
Environmental Law, now existing or hereafter enacted or promulgated, relating to
environmental matters or environmental conditions in, on, under, about or migrating from or
onto the Property, including, without limitation, the Comprehensive Environmental Response,
Compensation and Liability Act, or by virtue of any common law right, now existing or
hereafter created, related to environmental conditions or environmental matters in, on,
under, about or migrating from or onto the Property. The terms and conditions of this
Section 5.5 will expressly survive the termination of this Agreement or
the Closing, as the case may be and will not merge with the provisions of any Closing
documents.



Agreement of Sale and Purchase

5.6 SNDAs. Upon the written request of Buyer, Seller agrees to forward, at no cost to
Seller and solely as an accommodation to Buyer, Buyer’s lender’s form of Subordination,
Non-Disturbance and Attornment Agreement (“SNDA”) (with the appropriate blanks completed
for each Tenant by Buyer or Buyer’s lender) to the Major Tenants and to each additional Tenant
(i) for which a memorandum of lease may have been recorded, (ii) whose Lease requires that an SNDA
be delivered, or (iii) whose Lease does not provide for automatic subordination. However, it is
expressly understood and agreed that the receipt of one or more SNDAs in any form executed by any
Tenant shall not be a condition to Buyer’s obligation to proceed with the Closing under this
Agreement. Provided that Buyer coordinates any such communication through Seller, Buyer shall have
the right to communicate with the Tenants to negotiate any comments to the SNDAs that such Tenants
may have. Seller reserves the right to participate in any such discussions with the Tenants.



ARTICLE VI




TITLE AND SURVEY MATTERS




6.1 Survey and Title Commitment. Seller has previously delivered to Buyer, via the
Diligence Website, a copy of the existing survey of the Real Property (the “Existing
Survey”) and a preliminary title commitment from the Title Company to issue an ALTA owner’s
policy of title insurance with respect to the Real Property (collectively, the “Title
Commitment”). On or before Closing, Seller shall deliver to Buyer and the Title Company a copy
of the Existing Survey dated after the Effective Date and certified to Buyer.



6.2 Title Policy. At Closing, the Title Company shall issue to Buyer or be
irrevocably committed to issue to Buyer an extended coverage ALTA owner’s form title policy or
policies (collectively, the “Title Policy”), in the amount of the Purchase Price, insuring
that fee simple title to the Real Property is vested in Buyer subject only to the Permitted
Exceptions. Buyer shall be entitled to request that the Title Company provide such endorsements
(other than an extended coverage endorsement) to the Title Policy as Buyer may reasonably require,
provided that (a) such endorsements shall be at no cost to, and shall impose no additional
liability on, Seller, (b) Buyer’s obligations under this Agreement shall not be conditioned upon
Buyer’s ability to obtain such endorsements and, if Buyer is unable to obtain such endorsements,
Buyer shall nevertheless be obligated to proceed to close the transaction contemplated by this
Agreement without reduction of or set off against the Purchase Price, and (c) the Closing shall not
be delayed as a result of Buyer’s request. Seller shall have no obligation to provide any
affidavits, personal undertakings or title indemnities to the Title Insurer respecting the issuance
of the Title Policy or any endorsements to the Title Policy; provided, that Seller will provide the
Title Insurer with a customary ALTA statement, personal undertaking or owner’s affidavit
(collectively, an “Owner’s Affidavit”), in form and substance reasonably acceptable to
Seller and containing such statements as are customarily required by the Title Insurer, which will
permit the Title Insurer to remove the standard parties in possession, “mechanics lien”, brokers’
lien and
“GAP” exceptions. Seller shall also cause the Property Manager to deliver at Closing a customary
form of property manager’s lien waiver.

ARTICLE VII




INTERIM OPERATING COVENANTS




7.1 Interim Operating Covenants. Seller covenants to Buyer that Seller will:




(a) Operations. From the Effective Date until Closing or earlier termination of this
Agreement, continue to operate, manage and maintain the Improvements in the ordinary course
of Seller’s business and substantially in accordance with Seller’s present practice, subject
to ordinary wear and tear and further subject to Article XI of this Agreement.




(b) Leases. Seller will keep Buyer apprised of leasing activities involving the
Property. Seller has notified Buyer of the pending New Lease Agreements listed on
Exhibit T attached hereto and made a part hereof (collectively, the “Pending
Leases”), and Buyer has approved such Pending Leases.




(i) From the Effective Date through the Closing Date or earlier termination of this
Agreement, Seller shall notify Buyer in writing prior to entering into any new
Leases and amendments to existing Leases (including, but not limited to, any
renewals or expansions of existing Leases pursuant to existing options exercised
after the Effective Date (a “Lease Option Exercise”)) (any of the foregoing,
a “New Lease Agreement”) relating to the Property. Any New Lease Agreement
that is on Seller’s standard form (with such reasonable negotiated changes as Seller
and the proposed tenant may mutually agree) and that contains terms consistent with
the New Lease Guidelines is hereinafter referred to as a “Conforming New Lease
Agreement”. Buyer shall have five (5) Business Days after receipt of any New
Lease Agreement (which shall be accompanied by copies of the most recent credit
reports and financial statements, if any, for the proposed tenant as may be in
Seller’s possession) within which to notify Seller in writing as to (A) whether
Buyer disputes, in its reasonable discretion, that such New Lease Agreement is a
Conforming New Lease Agreement, (B) to approve or disapprove in its reasonable
discretion a New Lease Agreement that is not a Conforming New Lease Agreement, or
(C) to approve or disapprove in its reasonable discretion the credit of the proposed
tenant, whether or not the New Lease Agreement is a Conforming New Lease Agreement.
Buyer shall have no right to disapprove any Lease Option Exercise; provided,
however, that Buyer shall have the right to approve or disapprove, in its reasonable
discretion, Seller’s determination of the fair market rental rate if applicable to
any such Lease Option Exercise to the extent Seller’s determination is inconsistent
with the New Lease Guidelines. Until Closing or earlier termination of this
Agreement, subject to clause (C) above, Seller shall not enter into any New Lease
Agreement other than Conforming New Lease Agreements without the prior written
consent of Buyer, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.
If Buyer fails
to notify Seller of its disapproval of any New Lease Agreement within five (5)
Business Days after Buyer receives a copy thereof, Buyer shall be deemed to have
approved such New Lease Agreement.

(ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, on the Effective
Date, Seller shall permit Buyer’s approved leasing agent (“Buyer’s Leasing
Agent”) to show the available space in the Building to prospective tenants on
terms consistent with the New Lease Guidelines, but any commissions due to Buyer’s
Leasing Agent shall be the sole responsibility of Buyer. Buyer shall first notify
Seller as to the identity of Buyer’s proposed leasing agent for Seller’s approval,
which shall not be unreasonably withheld. Any proposed new leases of space shall be
subject to Seller’s approval, not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, provided
however it shall be reasonable for Seller to withhold its consent to new leases
which do not meet the New Lease Guidelines. Any such proposed new leases shall be
on Seller’s standard form (with such reasonable negotiated changes as Seller, Buyer
and the proposed tenant may mutually agree and with all negotiations being led by
Seller). If Seller approves a new Lease prior to the Closing Date, Buyer shall
deposit with the Escrow Agent the amount of any commission payable to Buyer’s
Leasing Agent to be disbursed to pay for any amounts payable by Seller to Buyer’s
Leasing Agent prior to the Closing Date relating to such new Lease, other than
commissions, if any, due to Seller’s Property Manager which shall be paid by Seller.
At Closing, any unused portion of such funds deposited by Buyer hereunder shall be
released to Buyer. If Closing does not occur for any reason, any unused portion of
such funds deposited by Buyer hereunder shall be released to Seller. In addition,
Buyer shall reimburse Seller at Closing for any other costs incurred by Seller
associated with such new Lease (including, without limitation, any tenant
improvement allowances and Seller’s attorney’s fees and costs),




(c) Compliance with Governmental Regulations. From the Effective Date until Closing
or earlier termination of this Agreement, not knowingly take any action that would result in
a failure to comply in all material respects with all Governmental Regulations applicable to
the Property, it being understood and agreed that prior to Closing, Seller will have the
right to contest any such Governmental Regulations.




(d) Service Contracts. From the Effective Date until Closing or earlier termination
of this Agreement, Seller shall not enter into any new Service Contracts or amend any
existing Service Contracts without Buyer’s prior written consent, which shall not be
unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned and shall be deemed to have been given if
Buyer fails to notify Seller of any objections thereto within five (5) Business Days after
Buyer receives a copy of such new Service Contract or amendment; provided, however, that if
such new Service Contracts or Service Contracts that are being amended will be fully
performed by Seller on or before the Closing Date or are terminable on 30 days notice
without penalty, Buyer’s consent shall not be required.

(e) Notices. To the extent received by Seller, from the Effective Date until Closing
or earlier termination of this Agreement, promptly deliver to Buyer copies of written
default notices, notices of lawsuits and notices of violations affecting the Property and
the filing of bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings by or against any Tenant of which Seller

(f) Counterpart originals of the Tax Declarations, duly executed by Buyer;




(g) A counterpart original of the Closing Statement, duly executed by Buyer; and




(h) Such other documents as may be reasonably necessary or appropriate to effect the
consummation of the transaction which is the subject of this Agreement, including, without
limitation, unless Buyer has delivered the Defeasance Notice (or is deemed to have delivered
the Defeasance Notice), documents required to obtain the Financing Consent and to substitute
the New Guarantor for the Existing Guarantor under the Assumed Guarantees and to obtain the
release of Existing Guarantors from any and all liability under the Assumed Guarantees as
provided in Section 17.2.



10.4 Prorations.




(a) Seller and Buyer agree to adjust, as of 11:59 p.m. Central Time on the day preceding the
Closing Date (the “Proration Time”), the following (collectively, the “Proration
Items”):




(i) Rentals, in accordance with Section 10.4(b) below;




(ii) Any prepaid rents;




(iii) Amounts payable under the assigned Service Contracts;




(iv) Pre-paid expenses, if any; and




(v) All ad valorem real estate taxes. Ad valorem real estate taxes with respect to
the Property shall be prorated as of the Proration Time on a cash basis for the
calendar year in which the Closing occurs, regardless of the year for which such
taxes are assessed. Seller and Buyer acknowledge that real estate taxes in Illinois
are payable a year in arrears. Accordingly, for avoidance of doubt, if the Closing
occurs in calendar year 2010, the real estate taxes that shall be prorated at
Closing are the 2009 real estate taxes that are payable in 2010, and there will be
no proration with respect to the 2010 taxes that will not be payable until 2011. An
example of the methodology for the real estate tax proration is attached as
Exhibit L.



Agreement of Sale and Purchase

Seller will be charged and credited for the amounts of all of the Proration Items relating
to the period up to and including the Proration Time, and Buyer will be charged and
credited for all of the Proration Items relating to the period after the Proration Time.
The estimated Closing prorations shall be set forth on a preliminary closing statement to be
prepared by Seller and submitted to Buyer prior to the Closing Date (the “Closing
Statement”). The Closing Statement shall be signed by Buyer and Seller at Closing. The
proration shall be paid at Closing by Buyer to Seller (if the prorations result in a net
credit to Seller) or by Seller to Buyer (if the prorations result in a net credit to Buyer)
by increasing or reducing the cash to be delivered by Buyer in payment of the Purchase Price
at the Closing. If the actual amounts of any of the Proration Items are not known as of the
Closing Date, the prorations will be made at Closing on the basis of the best evidence then
available; thereafter, when actual figures are received, re-prorations will be made on the
basis of the actual figures, and a final cash settlement will be made between Seller and
Buyer. No prorations will be made in relation to insurance premiums, and Seller’s insurance
policies will not be assigned to Buyer. The parties will use reasonable efforts to obtain
final readings and final billings for utilities as of the Closing Date, in which event no
proration will be made at the Closing with respect to utility bills; if final readings are
not obtained, prorations shall be based on the utility charges for the immediately preceding
month. Seller will be entitled to all deposits presently in effect with the utility
providers, and Buyer will be obligated to make its own arrangements for any deposits with
the utility providers. The provisions of this Section 10.4(a) will survive the Closing for
twelve (12) months.




(b) Buyer will receive a credit on the Closing Statement for the prorated amount (as of the
Proration Time) of all Rental previously paid to or collected by Seller and attributable to
any period following the Proration Time. After the Closing, Seller will cause to be paid or
turned over to Buyer all Rental, if any, received by Seller after Closing and attributable
to any period following the Proration Time. “Rental” as used herein includes fixed
monthly rentals, additional rentals, escalation rentals (which include each Tenant’s prorata
share of building operation and maintenance costs and expenses as provided for under the
Lease, to the extent the same exceeds any expense stop specified in such Lease), retroactive
rentals, all administrative charges, utility charges, tenant or real property association
dues, storage rentals, special event proceeds, temporary rents, telephone receipts, locker
rentals, vending machine receipts and other sums and charges payable by Tenants under the
Leases or from other occupants or users of the Property. Rental is “Delinquent”
when it was due prior to the Closing Date, and payment thereof has not been made on or
before the Proration Time. Delinquent Rental will not be prorated. With respect to Tenants
still in occupancy, Buyer agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts with respect to the
collection of any Delinquent Rental, but Buyer will have no liability for the failure to
collect any such amounts and will not be required to pursue legal action to enforce
collection of any such amounts owed to Seller by any Tenant. Seller reserves the right to
pursue the collection of Delinquent Rental; provided, however, that so long as Buyer is
using commercially reasonable efforts to collect Delinquent Rental from Tenants still in
occupancy, Seller shall refrain from taking any action to pursue the collection of
Delinquent Rental from such Tenants for a period of twelve (12) months after Closing (except
that Seller may continue to pursue litigation to collect Delinquent Rental from those
Tenants against whom Seller filed suit prior to the
Closing Date, but Seller shall have no right to terminate any such Tenant’s Lease). All
sums collected by Buyer from and after Closing from each Tenant (excluding tenant specific
billings for tenant work orders and other specific services as described in and governed by
Section 10.4(d) below) will be applied, unless designated otherwise by such Tenant, first to
current amounts due to Buyer, and then to delinquencies owed by such Tenant to Seller.
Buyer will promptly remit to Seller any sums due Seller. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in this Agreement, any additional rentals based upon a percentage of the
Tenant’s business during a specified annual or other period (sometimes referred to as
“percentage rent”) shall be prorated as of the Closing Date on an if, as and when collected
basis.



Agreement of Sale and Purchase


 


34









 






(c) At the Closing, Seller shall deliver to Buyer a list of additional rent, however
characterized, under each Lease, including without limitation, real estate taxes, electrical
charges, utility costs and operating expenses (collectively, “Operating Expenses”)
billed to Tenants for the calendar year in which the Closing occurs (both on a monthly basis
and in the aggregate), the basis on which the monthly amounts are being billed and the
amounts incurred by Seller on account of the components of Operating Expenses for such
calendar year. Upon the reconciliation by Buyer of the Operating Expenses billed to
Tenants, and the amounts actually incurred for such calendar year, Seller and Buyer shall be
liable for overpayments of Operating Expenses, and shall be entitled to payments from
Tenants with respect to underpayments of Operating Expenses, as the case may be, on a
pro-rata basis based upon each party’s period of ownership during such calendar year. Such
reconciliation between Buyer and Seller shall occur no later than one hundred twenty (120)
days after the end of such calendar year. Prior to Closing, Seller shall send the Tenants
billing statements reflecting Landlord’s determination of 2009 Operating Expenses.




(d) With respect to specific tenant billings for work orders, special items performed or
provided at the request of a Tenant or other specific services, which are collected by Buyer
after the Closing Date but relate to the foregoing specific services rendered by Seller
prior to the Proration Time, then notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein,
Buyer shall cause the amounts so designated and collected from such Tenant to be paid to
Seller on account thereof.




(e) Buyer will receive a credit on the Closing Statement for the cash Security Deposits (as
opposed to those in the form of a letter of credit), less those that are returned to Tenants
upon the expiration of Leases. The originals of any Security Deposits in form other than
cash (including letters of credit) shall be delivered to Buyer at Closing, together with
appropriate instruments of transfer or assignment executed by Seller. Any applicable fees
and charges imposed by the issuer(s) to effect a transfer of any non-cash Security Deposits
shall be paid by Seller, to the extent not the obligation of the subject Tenant under its
Lease, as a credit on the Closing Statement. Seller and Buyer shall reasonably cooperate
with each other following the Closing so as to complete the transfer of the Letters of
Credit and cause Buyer to be the beneficiary thereunder. Until Buyer is a named beneficiary
thereunder, Buyer may, upon notice to Seller, deliver a Letter of
Credit to Seller, who shall, to the extent permitted under the terms of the relevant Lease
and such Letter of Credit, request a draw upon the same and deliver to Buyer proceeds
received thereon. Buyer hereby indemnifies and holds Seller harmless from any and all
losses, costs, damages, liens, claims, counterclaims. liabilities and expenses (including,
but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees, court costs and disbursements) incurred by
Seller as the result of Seller taking any steps pursuant to a request of Buyer, including
drawing, or seeking to draw, on any Tenant’s Security Deposit. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary contained herein, Seller shall have the right to apply the cash Security
Deposits against lease obligations of defaulting Tenants prior to Closing, and, in such
event, Buyer shall receive a credit on the Closing Statement for the amount so applied by
Seller.

(f) If Buyer assumes the Existing Loan, at Closing, Buyer will pay Seller the amount of all
escrows held by the Lender under the Existing Loan as provided in Section 17.4, and Seller
will assign to Buyer the funds being held in such escrows. Alternatively, at Seller’s
option, Buyer will deposit with Lender amounts equal to the amounts being held in such
escrows, and Lender will release the existing escrows directly to Seller. Attached hereto
as Exhibit S is a list of the escrows being held by Lender, together with amounts
held therein as of the Effective Date.




(g) Notwithstanding any provision of this Section 10.4 to the contrary, Buyer shall be
responsible for all leasing commissions, tenant improvement costs, legal costs and other
expenditures whether incurred by Seller before Closing or due after Closing with respect to
the Pending Leases (but only to the extent such costs are indicated as Buyer’s
responsibility on Exhibit T) and any New Lease Agreements entered into after the
Effective Date in accordance with the provisions of Section 7.1(b). Buyer shall receive a
credit at Closing for the unpaid leasing commissions, tenant improvement costs, rent
abatements and other similar obligations due with respect to any existing Leases (but not
with respect to any New Lease Agreements) as listed on Exhibit K attached hereto and
made a part hereof (the “Existing Lease Expenses”).



10.5 Closing Costs. Costs of the Title Company and other costs incurred in connection
with the Closing will be allocated as follows:




(a) Seller shall pay (i) Seller’s attorney’s fees; (ii) one-half (1/2) of escrow fees, if
any; (iii) 100% of the State of Illinois and Cook County real estate transfer taxes;
(iii) the premium for the Title Policy (but excluding the cost of any endorsements and the
cost of any re-insurance that may be required or desired by Buyer or any lender of Buyer);
and (iv) Seller’s Share of the loan assumption fee.




(b) Buyer shall pay (i) all costs of any additional coverage under the Title Policy or
endorsements or deletions to the Title Policy that are desired by Buyer and the cost of any
re-insurance required or desired by Buyer or any Lender; (ii) all premiums and other costs
for any mortgagee policy of title insurance, if any, including but not limited to any
endorsements or deletions; (iii) the costs of recording the Deed to the Property; (iv) 100%
of the City of Chicago real estate transfer taxes; (v) the cost of the Updated Survey;

(vi) Buyer’s attorney’s fees; (vii) one-half (1/2) of escrow fees, if any; and (viii) all
Financing Consent Costs other than Seller’s Share of the loan assumption fee, if applicable.




(c) Any other costs and expenses of Closing not provided for in this Section 10.5 shall be
allocated between Buyer and Seller in accordance with the custom in the area in which the
Property is located.



ARTICLE XI




CONDEMNATION AND CASUALTY




11.1 Casualty. If, prior to the Closing Date, all or a Significant Portion of any of
the Real Property and Improvements is destroyed or damaged by fire or other casualty, Seller will
notify Buyer in writing of such casualty. Buyer will have the option to terminate this Agreement
upon advance written notice to Seller given not later than fifteen (15) days after receipt of
Seller’s notice. If this Agreement is terminated, the Earnest Money and all interest accrued
thereon will be returned to Buyer and thereafter neither Seller nor Buyer will have any further
rights or obligations to the other hereunder except with respect to the Termination Surviving
Obligations. If Buyer does not elect to terminate this Agreement, or less than a Significant
Portion of the Real Property and Improvements is destroyed or damaged as aforesaid, Seller will not
be obligated to repair such damage or destruction but (a) Seller will assign and turn over to Buyer
the insurance proceeds for the repair of such damage or destruction net of any sums expended by
Seller toward the restoration or repair of the Property and reasonable collection costs (or if such
have not been awarded, all of its right, title and interest therein) payable with respect to such
fire or other casualty up to the amount of the Purchase Price and (b) the parties will proceed to
Closing pursuant to the terms hereof without abatement of the Purchase Price, except that Buyer
will receive a credit for any insurance deductible amount. In the event Seller elects to perform
any repairs as a result of a casualty, Seller will be entitled to deduct its costs and expenses
from any amount to which Buyer is entitled under this Section 11.1, which right shall survive the
Closing.



11.2 Condemnation of Property. In the event of (a) any condemnation or sale in lieu
of condemnation of all of the Property; or b) any condemnation or sale in lieu of condemnation of
any Significant Portion of any of the Real Property and Improvements; or (c) any condemnation which
would permit any Major Tenant to terminate its lease and such Major Tenant does in fact terminate
its Lease, Buyer will have the option, to be exercised within fifteen (15) days after receipt of
notice of such condemnation or sale, of terminating Buyer’s obligations under this Agreement, or
electing to have this Agreement remain in full force and effect. In the event that either (i) any
condemnation or sale in lieu of condemnation of the Property is not a Significant Portion of any of
the Real Property and Improvements, or (ii) Buyer does not terminate this Agreement pursuant to the
preceding sentence, Seller will assign to Buyer any and all claims for the proceeds of such
condemnation or sale to the extent the same are applicable to the Property, net of any sums
expended by Seller toward the restoration or repair of the Property, and Buyer will take title to
the Property with the assignment of such proceeds and subject to such
condemnation and without reduction of the Purchase Price. Should Buyer elect to terminate Buyer’s
obligations under this Agreement under the provisions of this Section 11.2, the Earnest Money and
any interest thereon will be returned to Buyer and neither Seller nor Buyer will have any further
obligation under this Agreement, except for the Termination Surviving Obligations.

ARTICLE XII




CONFIDENTIALITY




12.1 Confidentiality. Except as hereinafter permitted, Seller and Buyer each
expressly acknowledge and agree that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the terms,
conditions, and negotiations concerning the same will be held in the strictest confidence by each
of them and will not be disclosed by either of them except to their respective Party
Representatives and other Licensee Parties, and except and only to the extent that such disclosure
may be necessary for their respective performances hereunder. Except as expressly provided in this
Agreement, Buyer further acknowledges and agrees that, unless and until the Closing occurs, all
information obtained by Buyer in connection with the Property will not be disclosed by Buyer to any
third persons without the prior written consent of Seller. Nothing contained in this Article XII
will preclude or limit either party to this Agreement from issuing a press release or making other
disclosures with respect to any information otherwise deemed confidential under this Article XII
(a) in response to lawful process or subpoena or other valid or enforceable order of a court of
competent jurisdiction (provided that the party receiving any such subpoena shall promptly notify
the other party and cooperate with the other party in good faith and to the extent permitted by law
in any attempt such other party may desire to make to contest such subpoena or to obtain a
protective order), (b) required by law or (c) required by rule or regulation of the Securities and
Exchange Commission or the New York Stock Exchange, including without limitation in any filings
required by any Authorities; provided, however, that in the event of any such required disclosure,
the disclosing party shall to the extent practicable, use good faith efforts to provide the other
party with copies of the material being disclosed in advance of such disclosure and in good faith
consider any comments the other party may have on such disclosure. In determining whether a
disclosure contemplated in the preceding sentence is required by law or by rule or regulation of
the Securities and Exchange Commission or the New York Stock Exchange, the disclosing party is
entitled to rely upon the written advice of counsel. The provisions of this Article XII will
survive the termination of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything in this Article XII to the
contrary, after Closing, Seller and Buyer shall be permitted to issue press releases as to the
occurrence of the transaction and the parties involved, provided that the form and content of such
press release shall be subject to the approval of the other party, not to be unreasonably withheld
or delayed.



12.2 Tax Related Disclosures. Notwithstanding anything set forth in this Agreement to
the contrary or in any other agreement to which Buyer, the Seller Parties or their respective legal
counsel, accountants, consultants, officers, partners, member, directors, shareholders, brokers,
lenders, consultants or other Licensee Parties (collectively the “Party Representatives”)
are bound, each of the foregoing parties is expressly authorized to disclose the “tax treatment”
and “tax structure” (as those terms are defined in Treas. Reg. §§ 1.6011-4(c)(8) and (9),
respectively)
of the transaction contemplated by this Agreement (the “Transaction”) and all materials of
any kind (including opinions or other tax analysis) relating to such “tax treatment” or “tax
structure” of the Transaction; provided, however, (i) the foregoing authorization applies only to
the extent necessary to prevent the Transaction from constituting a “confidential transaction”
within the meaning of Treas. Reg. § 1.6011-4(b)(3), and (ii) in no event will the names or
identities of the Party Representatives, or any amounts invested by any of the foregoing in the
Transaction, be disclosed.

ARTICLE XIII




REMEDIES




13.1 Notice and Cure. No party shall be deemed to be in default hereunder unless such
party fails to cure an alleged default within five (5) Business Days after receipt from the other
party of written notice of the alleged default; provided, however, that if such alleged default is
not susceptible of being cured within said five (5) Business Day period, such party shall not be
deemed in default hereunder so long as such party commences to cure the alleged default within said
five (5) Business Day period and diligently prosecutes the same to completion within twenty (20)
days. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the failure of Buyer to deposit the Purchase Price in
accordance with the timing and other requirements of Section 3.3, the failure of Buyer to deliver
the items on the Required Items Checklist or any Additional Assumption Information in accordance
with the timing requirements of Section 17.2, or the willful failure by a party to timely submit
its respective closing documents pursuant to Article X shall be an immediate default that shall not
be subject to the foregoing notice and cure periods.



13.2 Default by Seller. In the event the Closing and the transactions contemplated
hereby do not occur as herein provided by reason of any default of Seller, Buyer may, as Buyer’s
sole and exclusive remedy under this Agreement, at law and in equity, elect by notice to Seller
within thirty (30) days following the Scheduled Closing Date, either of the following: (a) to
terminate this Agreement, in which event Buyer will receive from the Escrow Agent the Earnest
Money, together with all interest accrued thereon, and Seller shall reimburse Buyer for all
application costs paid to the Lender in connection with the Financing Consents, whereupon Seller
and Buyer will have no further rights or obligations under this Agreement, except with respect to
the Termination Surviving Obligations, or (b) to seek to enforce specific performance of Seller’s
obligation to execute the documents required to convey the Property to Buyer as contemplated
herein, it being understood and agreed that the remedy of specific performance shall not be
available to enforce any other obligation of Seller hereunder. Notwithstanding anything contained
herein to the contrary, if Seller shall have intentionally taken an action which precludes the
ability of Buyer to maintain an action for specific performance, then, in addition to receiving a
return of Earnest Money pursuant to clause (a) above, Buyer shall be entitled to seek damages for
Seller’s default, which damages shall not to exceed Four Million and No/100 Dollars
($4,000,000.00). Except as set forth above, Buyer expressly waives its rights to seek damages in
the event of Seller’s default hereunder. Buyer shall be deemed to have elected to terminate this
Agreement and receive back the Earnest Money if Buyer fails to file suit for specific performance
against Seller in a court having jurisdiction in the county and state in which
the Property is located on or before thirty (30) Business Days following the Scheduled Closing
Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained herein (other than Section 8.4 hereof) will
limit Buyer’s remedies at law, in equity or as herein provided in the event of a breach by Seller
of any of the Termination Surviving Obligations.



Agreement of Sale and Purchase


 


39









 





13.3 Default by Buyer. In the event the Closing and the consummation of the
transactions contemplated herein do not occur as provided herein by reason of any default of Buyer,
Buyer and Seller agree it would be impractical and extremely difficult to fix the damages which
Seller may suffer. Buyer and Seller hereby agree that (a) an amount equal to the Earnest Money,
together with all interest accrued thereon, is a reasonable estimate of the total net detriment
Seller would suffer in the event Buyer defaults and fails to complete the purchase of the Property,
and (b) such amount will be the full, agreed and liquidated damages for Buyer’s default and failure
to complete the purchase of the Property, and will be Seller’s sole and exclusive remedy (whether
at law or in equity) for any default of Buyer resulting in the failure of consummation of the
Closing, whereupon this Agreement will terminate, and Seller expressly waives its rights to seek
damages in the event of Buyer’s default except as otherwise provided hereunder. In such event, at
Seller’s request, Buyer shall immediately direct the Escrow Agent to release the Earnest Money to
Seller. Buyer will have no further rights or obligations hereunder, except with respect to the
Termination Surviving Obligations. The payment of such amount as liquidated damages is not
intended as a forfeiture or penalty but is intended to constitute liquidated damages to Seller.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained herein will limit Seller’s remedies at law, in
equity or as herein provided in the event of a breach by Buyer of any of the Termination Surviving
Obligations.

ARTICLE XV




ASSIGNMENT




15.1 Assignment. Subject to the provisions of Section 17.4 below, Buyer may not
assign its rights under this Agreement to anyone other than a Permitted Assignee (as hereinafter
defined) without first obtaining Seller’s written approval which may be given or withheld in
Seller’s sole discretion. The transfer (whether direct or indirect) of all or a majority of the
transfer of all or any managing member’s interest in Buyer or the transfer of any other controlling
interest in Buyer, shall be considered an assignment of this Agreement. Subject to the conditions
set forth in this Article XV, Buyer may assign its rights under this Agreement to a Permitted
Assignee without the prior written consent of Seller. In the event that Buyer desires to assign
its rights under this Agreement to a Permitted Assignee, Buyer shall send written notice to Seller
at least five (5) Business Days prior to the effective date of such assignment stating the name
and, if applicable, the constituent persons or entities of the Permitted Assignee and providing the
signature block of the Permitted Assignee. Such assignment shall not become effective until such
Permitted Assignee executes an instrument reasonably satisfactory to Seller in form and substance
whereby the Permitted Assignee expressly assumes each of the obligations of Buyer under this
Agreement, including specifically, without limitation, all obligations concerning the Earnest
Money. No assignment shall release or otherwise relieve Buyer from any obligations hereunder.



Agreement of Sale and Purchase

15.2 Permitted Assignee. For purposes of this Article XV, the term “Permitted
Assignee” shall mean (a) a corporation in which Buyer owns or controls at least 51% of the
stock entitled to vote for directors, (b) a general partnership in which Buyer is a general partner
owning at least 51% of the total partnership interests therein, (c) a limited partnership in which
Buyer is the sole general partner owning at least 51% of the total partnership interests therein,
or
(d) a limited liability company in which Buyer is the managing or sole member owning at least 51%
of the total membership interests therein. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
herein, Buyer shall not have the right to assign this Agreement to any assignee which, in the
reasonable judgment of Seller, will (i) cause the transaction contemplated hereby or any party
thereto to violate the requirements of ERISA or any other law, or (ii) re-start or delay the
process of obtaining the Financing Consents. In order to enable Seller to make such determination,
Buyer shall notify Seller in writing and cause to be delivered to Seller prior to any such
assignment such information as is requested by Seller with respect to a proposed assignee and the
constituent persons or entities of any proposed assignee, including specifically, without
limitation, any pension or profit sharing plans related thereto.



15.3 Assignments Following Defeasance Notice. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained herein, if Buyer has delivered the Defeasance Notice pursuant to Section 17.6
below, then Buyer may assign its rights under this Agreement without the need to obtain Seller’s
consent so long as the Managing Member (i) owns at least fifteen (15%) percent of the total
membership interests in Buyer, and (ii) maintains, directly or indirectly, the power to direct or
cause the direction of the management and policies of Buyer, whether through the ownership of
voting securities, by contract or otherwise. In order to enable Seller to make the determination
that the foregoing conditions will be satisfied, Buyer shall notify Seller in writing and cause to
be delivered to Seller prior to any such assignment such information as is requested by Seller with
respect to a proposed assignee and the constituent persons or entities of any proposed assignee.



ARTICLE XVI




BROKERAGE




16.1 Brokers. Seller agrees to pay to Holliday Fenoglio Fowler, L.P. (“Seller’s
Broker”) a brokerage commission pursuant to a separate agreement by and between Seller and
Seller’s Broker. Buyer and Seller represent that they have not dealt with any brokers, finders or
salesmen in connection with this transaction other than the Seller’s Broker, and agree to
indemnify, defend and hold each other harmless from and against any and all loss, cost, damage,
liability or expense, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, which either party may sustain, incur
or be exposed to by reason of any claim for fees or commissions made through the other party. The
provisions of this Article XVI will survive any Closing or termination of this Agreement.



ARTICLE XVII




ASSUMPTION OF EXISTING LOAN




17.1 Financing Consents. Buyer shall have the right and obligation, subject to the
terms of this Agreement, to diligently and in good faith pursue the Financing Consents necessary to
permit the Existing Loan to remain in place after the Closing. The form and substance of the
documents evidencing the Financing Consents shall be reasonably satisfactory to Seller and Buyer.
It shall be a condition precedent to Buyer’s obligation to execute the documents evidencing the
Financing Consents that there shall be no uncured event of default under the terms of the Existing
Loan Documents and neither Buyer nor New Guarantor shall either (A) be
required to assume any obligations to the Lender more onerous, (B) be subject to restrictions or
conditions less favorable, in either case, than those set forth in the Existing Loan Documents, or
(C) be obligated for or required to assume obligations that



Agreement of Sale and Purchase


 


43









 






accrued and were due prior to the Closing Date (except to the extent Seller credits Buyer at Closing with the cost of performing the
same and subject to the provisions of Section 5.5 hereof), it being understood that additional
obligations, restrictions or conditions (i) required to address Buyer’s organizational structure
(such as the need to provide additional formation documents, qualification certificates or similar
documents), or (ii) that are customarily required by lenders in similar assumption transactions,
shall not cause the foregoing condition to be unsatisfied. Buyer shall be solely responsible for
all Financing Consent Costs; provided, however, that Seller shall pay that portion of the 1% loan
assumption fee (as set forth in Section 11.3(vi) of the Loan Agreement (as defined on
Exhibit B)) above $450,000.00 (“Seller’s Share”), which $4500,000 shall be paid by
Buyer, by giving Buyer a credit against the Purchase Price in such amount at Closing. Buyer shall
not contact the Lender without the prior written approval of Seller, not to be unreasonably
withheld or delayed. At Seller’s option, Seller may be present at any meetings and participate in
any calls between Buyer and Lender.



17.2 Buyer Obligations. Buyer shall use diligent and good faith commercially
reasonable efforts to promptly take, or cause to be taken, all reasonable actions, and to do, or
cause to be done, all things reasonably necessary, proper or advisable to obtain the Financing
Consents on or before the Scheduled Closing Date. In connection with such efforts, Buyer shall use
good faith commercially reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and to do,
or cause to be done, all things reasonably necessary, proper or advisable to (i) make its
employees, officers, directors and other representatives available when requested by Seller or
Lender to meet with any of (1) the Lenders, trustees, issuing agencies and holders of the Existing
Loan, or (2) such other parties necessary or desirable in connection obtaining such Financing
Consents; (ii) promptly provide to such parties (1) all assumption application materials reasonably
required by any of the Lenders, and (2) any and all information required to be delivered in
accordance with the Existing Loan Documents or as may be reasonably required by the Lender,
including, financial information, management agreements, biographical or similar information
regarding the interest holders, owners, principals or senior management of Buyer and of New
Guarantor and the managers that Buyer will utilize after the Closing (including information
regarding experience in owning and managing real estate assets) (the items in this clause (ii)(2)
being referred to collectively as “Additional Assumption Information”). Subject to the
provisions of clauses (A), (B) and (C) of Section 17.1 above, in connection with Buyer’s efforts to
obtain the Financing Consents, Buyer shall provide or deliver such documents as may be reasonably
required by the consenting Person or required to obtain the Financing Consent, including but not
limited to, substitute promissory note(s), guarantees, environmental indemnity agreements,
financial statements, organizational documents, opinion(s) of counsel, and assumption agreement(s).
Buyer shall also substitute New Guarantor for the Existing Guarantors under the Assumed Guarantees
and obtain the release of Existing Guarantors from any and all liability under the Assumed
Guarantees. Buyer will keep Seller informed of Buyer’s progress in obtaining the Financing
Consents and shall advise Seller promptly of any material communication received from any Lender
regarding the Financing Consents.



(a) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, on or before March 5, 2010 (the
“Preliminary Submission Date”), Buyer shall submit to Lender substantially all of
the materials required by the items listed on the Required Items Checklist that are marked
with an asterisk. Buyer shall also submit to Seller, on or before the Preliminary
Submission Date, the names and background information of the Managing Member and the New
Guarantor.



Agreement of Sale and Purchase


 


44









 








(b) On or before March 15, 2010 (the “Final Submission Date”), Buyer shall submit to
Lender (i) the Final Organizational Structure, (ii) the Required Changes, and (iii) all
remaining items listed on the Required Items Checklist (other than Items 22 and 24 thereof
which shall be provided by Seller and provided that any items which make reference to an
“[enclosed form]” which Buyer has not received shall be provided by Buyer on the later of
(i) two (2) Business Days after Lender has provided the referenced form), or (ii) the Final
Submission Date.




(c) If Buyer shall fail to submit the items described in Section 17.2(b) above by the later
of (i) two Business Days after Lender has provided the referenced form, or (ii) the Final
Submission Date, and if such failure continues for two (2) Business Days after written
notice from Seller (which may be via e-mail) that any such items remains undelivered, then
Buyer shall be deemed to have irrevocably delivered the Defeasance Notice and the provisions
of Section 17.6 below shall thereafter apply.




(d) From and after the Final Submission Date (unless Buyer has delivered, or is deemed to
have delivered, the Defeasance Notice), if Buyer fails to deliver to Lender any Additional
Assumption Information within three (3) Business Days after written notice from Lender or
from Seller (which may be via e-mail) that any such Additional Assumption Information has
been requested by Lender and remains undelivered, and if such failure continues for one (1)
Business Day after a second notice from Seller (which may also be via e-mail) that such
Additional Assumption Information remains undelivered, Buyer shall be in default hereunder.




(e) Buyer shall keep Seller apprised of its communications with and submissions to the
Lender and shall deliver to Seller, at the same time as Buyer makes any submissions to the
Lender, copies of all cover letters, emails and other correspondence under which Buyer
submits any deliveries to Lender pursuant to this Agreement, which cover letters, emails and
other correspondence shall enumerate with reasonable specificity the items being submitted
to the Lender (with investor names redacted) so that Seller can confirm Buyer’s compliance
with the requirements of this Article XVII.




(f) Seller shall have the right to communicate with the Lender to, among other things, work
on the loan assumption, including, but not limited to, confirming that the Lender has
received Buyer’s submissions, ascertaining whether such submissions are complete and
ascertaining the Lender’s view on the timing and likelihood of Buyer’s obtaining the
Financing Consents. If the Lender notifies Seller in writing (which may be via e-mail) that
(i) based on Buyer’s submissions, the Financing Consents are not likely to be obtained by
the Outside Date, (as the same may be extended pursuant to Section 10.1(b)
hereof) or (ii) that Buyer’s submissions are missing or incomplete and such missing or
incomplete submissions are not delivered to the Lender within three (3) Business Days after
written notice from Lender or from Seller (which may be via e-mail), Seller shall have the
right to terminate this Agreement by written notice to Buyer; provided, however, that if
Buyer shall, within three (3) Business Days after such notice of termination, either
(i) deliver the Defeasance Notice, or (ii) elect to waive the receipt of the Financing
Consents as a condition to Closing, then this Agreement shall not be terminated. If this
Agreement is terminated by Seller as aforesaid, the Earnest Money shall be returned to Buyer
and thereafter neither party shall have any further liability to the other, except the
parties will continue to be liable for those obligations that expressly survive cancellation
or termination of this Agreement.



Agreement of Sale and Purchase


 


45









 





17.3 Seller’s Cooperation. Subject to Buyer’s obligation to pay for all Financing
Consent Costs (other than Seller’s Share), Seller shall diligently and reasonably cooperate with
Buyer in Buyer’s efforts to obtain the Financing Consents, including, without limitation,
providing, upon request, current Property information to the Lender on a timely basis. Under no
circumstances shall Seller or any of the Existing Guarantors be required to provide any new
guarantee(s) to the Lender or any other Person in connection with the Financing Consents or
otherwise assume or be required to perform any obligations after the Closing Date with the
exception of its continuing liability under the Existing Loan Documents for events occurring prior
to the Closing Date. From and after the Closing Date, Seller agrees to cooperate with Buyer in
providing to Buyer, upon Buyer’s written request, information concerning Seller or the Property
which may be required under the Loan Documents to the extent such information relates to Seller’s
period of ownership of the Property.



17.4 Loan Terms. The parties acknowledge that Buyer’s proposed organizational
structure has not yet been finalized. Buyer acknowledges that rating agency approval cannot be
sought, and the Financing Consents obtained, until all of the direct or indirect members or
partners owning such percentage of the ownership interests in Buyer as the Lender and the rating
agencies may require have been identified and that no changes to Buyer’s organizational structure
can thereafter be made without requiring new rating agency approvals. On or before the Final
Submission Date, Buyer shall provide to Seller, and Seller agrees to submit to the Lender, an
organizational and capital structure for Buyer, and all other submissions required pursuant to
Section 17.2, which Buyer reasonably believes in good faith will be sufficient for the Lender to
approve (the “Final Organizational Structure”), together with (i) any changes required to
the transfer provisions contained in Section 11.2 of the Loan Agreement (as defined on
Exhibit B) due to the Final Organizational Structure of Buyer, and (ii) any changes to the
First Amendment of Loan Agreement (as defined on Exhibit B) needed to omit provisions that
are specific to Seller’s affiliates and the “Fleet Mezzanine Loan” (collectively, the “Required
Changes”). If the Lender rejects the Final Organizational Structure and/or any of the Required
Changes, Seller may terminate this Agreement by written notice to Buyer; provided, however, that if
Buyer shall, within two (2) Business Days after such notice of termination, either (A) deliver the
Defeasance Notice, or (B) agree in writing to withdraw such Required Change(s) or modify the Final
Organizational Structure in a way the Lender and rating agencies indicate they will accept, then
this Agreement shall not be terminated. If this Agreement is terminated by
Seller as aforesaid, the Earnest Money shall be returned to Buyer and thereafter neither party
shall have any further liability to the other, except the parties will continue to be liable for
those obligations that expressly survive cancellation or termination of this Agreement. Buyer
agrees that it will not modify the Final Organizational Structure or the identity of the Managing
Member or the New Guarantor in any manner which will delay or interfere with obtaining the
Financing Consents.

17.5 Closing Credits. If Buyer is successful in obtaining the Financing Consents,
then at Closing, Buyer shall receive a credit against the Purchase Price in the amount of the
existing outstanding principal balance and accrued and unpaid interest of the Existing Loan and in
the amount of Seller’s Share, and Seller shall receive a credit for the amount of any escrow
balances held by the Lender.



17.6 Option to Defease. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, at
any time prior to April 22, 2010, Buyer shall have the right, at Buyer’s option, to elect to
defease the Existing Loan in lieu of obtaining the Financing Consent. If Buyer elects to exercise
the right to defease the Existing Loan, Buyer shall so notify Seller in writing (the Defeasance
Notice”) on or before April 22, 2010. If Buyer delivers the Defeasance Notice (or if Buyer is
deemed to have delivered the Defeasance Notice pursuant to Section 17.2(c) above), then (i) Buyer
and Seller shall cease all efforts to obtain the Financing Consents, (ii) receipt of the Financing
Consent shall no longer be a condition to Closing, (iii) Seller shall promptly commence the
defeasance process under the Existing Loan Documents, (iv) the documents evidencing or securing the
Existing Loan will no longer constitute Permitted Exceptions, and (v) the Scheduled Closing Date
shall be on the Outside Date. In addition, Buyer acknowledges that, if Buyer delivers the
Defeasance Notice (or is deemed to have delivered the Defeasance Notice pursuant to Section 17.2(c)
above), then notwithstanding the provisions of Section 3.3 or Section 10.3 hereof, Buyer shall
deliver the Purchase Price to Escrow Agent at least two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing Date
(or such fewer days as the Lender or defeasance agent may permit without resulting in any
additional liability to Seller) in order to enable Seller to complete the defeasance of the
Existing Loan; provided that Seller shall have also delivered to Escrow Agent all of the documents
executed by Seller which are required to be delivered pursuant to Section 10.2 hereof (subject to
the right to update the Closing Statement and the certificate described in Section 10.2(k) hereof).
All costs associated with the defeasance of the Existing Loan, including, but not limited to, the
Lender’s attorneys’ fees and costs, shall be paid by Buyer (other than any outstanding principal
balance and accrued and unpaid interest through the Closing Date and Seller’s attorneys’ fees
associated with the defeasance which shall be paid by Seller).
