 (c) It shall be a condition to Seller’s and
Purchaser’s respective obligations to consummate Closing that, at or prior to Closing, each of the following shall have occurred (or be waived in writing by Seller and Purchaser): 
  
 (i) The annualized aggregate net contractual rent paid by Seller (and its affiliates) to Purchaser (and its
affiliates) under the Master Lease Agreement and all other lease or occupancy agreements then in effect between Seller and Purchaser (and their respective affiliates) shall not be greater than 40% of the annualized aggregate net contractual rent
received by Purchaser (and its affiliates) from all sources. 
  
 (d) It shall be a condition of Seller’s (but not Purchaser’s) obligation to consummate Closing that, at or prior to Closing, each of the following shall have occurred (or be waived in writing by Seller):

  
 (i) Seller and Purchaser shall have entered
into a Master Agreement Regarding Leases substantially in the form attached as Exhibit R hereto, together with such modifications thereto as are mutually acceptable to Seller and Purchaser. 
  
 (ii) Seller and FSI 5000A shall execute the Second Amendment
to Master Lease Agreement for the Lease Agreement between FSI 5000A, as landlord, and Seller, as tenant, in form and substance mutually acceptable to Seller and Purchaser. 
  
 (iii) Seller and FSI 225 shall have entered into a modification of Seller’s lease for the property
known as Bank of America Plaza in St. Louis, Missouri, pursuant to which: 
  
 (A) Seller shall reduce the space occupied by it to approximately 360,000 square feet by surrendering, in whole or partial floor increments, approximately 100,000 square feet of excess space to FSI 225 at any time
prior to December 31, 2004 (any space so surrendered, the “St. Louis Surrendered Space”). In such event, the annual base rental payable by Seller under the lease for the St. Louis property shall not abate or reduce, but, effective
as of the date on which Seller surrenders possession of the St. Louis Surrendered Space to FSI 225 vacant and free of Seller’s personal property, Seller’s obligation to pay additional rent, including Seller’s allocated share of
operating expenses, real estate taxes and other charges with respect to the St. Louis Surrendered Space shall cease and terminate. Seller shall not be obligated to perform any demising work with respect to the St. Louis Surrendered 

  

 9 








 
Space. FSI 225 shall be permitted to market and lease the St. Louis Surrendered Space to third party tenants on such terms and conditions as FSI 225 shall
determine. The foregoing surrender and termination rights shall supersede and replace any early termination rights currently granted to Seller under the existing lease for the St. Louis property. 
  
 (B) Commencing January 1, 2012, immediately following the
expiration of the term of the lease for the St. Louis property, Seller shall renew the Lease for the St. Louis property with respect to not less than 206,000 rentable square feet upon the terms and conditions herein set forth (“St. Louis
Renewal Lease”). The initial term of the St. Louis Renewal Lease shall expire on June 30, 2023, subject to up to six further renewal periods of five years each. The annual base rental payable by Seller under the St. Louis Renewal Lease
shall be as set forth on Schedule 1 attached hereto. The other terms and conditions of the St. Louis Renewal Lease shall be the same as the terms and conditions set forth in the Master Lease Agreement. Seller may, at Seller’s election upon one
year’s prior written notice to FSI 225, include under the St. Louis Renewal Lease any and all premises in excess of 206,000 rentable square feet that Seller is leasing at the expiration of the term of the lease for the St. Louis property (any
such space, the “St. Louis Additional Premises”), provided that the annual base rental, term, renewal rights and other provisions with respect to the St. Louis Additional Premises shall be the same as those applicable to
“Short-Term Expansion Premises” under the Master Lease Agreement. 
  
 (C) In consideration of Seller’s agreement to enter into the St. Louis Renewal Lease as herein provided, on January 15, 2005, so long as Seller is not in default under the lease for the St. Louis property beyond
any applicable notice and cure periods, FSI 225 shall pay to Seller a leasehold improvement allowance equal to $1,500,000. 
  
 (D) In addition to any existing rights that Seller has at the St. Louis property (which shall remain unchanged and in full force and
effect), the St. Louis property lease modification shall grant Seller the same exclusivity, signage and building naming rights that Seller has with respect to properties leased under the Master Lease Agreement, subject to the existing rights of
third party tenants at the St. Louis property. 
  
 (E) To the extent that any of the foregoing modifications can not be accomplished by direct modification of the existing lease for the St. Louis property (because FSI 225’s mortgagee will not approve the same if such approval is
required under the applicable mortgage documents), such modifications shall be accomplished by separate agreement between Seller and FSI 225 that provides the same net economic benefits to Seller and FSI 225 as would be obtained if all of the
modifications had been accomplished by direct modification of the existing lease. 
  

 10 








 7. Title. 
  
 (a) As to each Property, on the Closing Date, the title conveyed shall be good, marketable, indefeasible and
insurable by any reputable title insurance company at regular rates, free and clear of all liens, judgments and similar encumbrances, subject however to: 
  
 (i) the state of facts shown on an accurate survey of the Property, other than a matter which would constitute an Objection that Purchaser
does not waive pursuant to Section 7(c) below; 
  
 (ii) zoning regulations, municipal building restrictions and all other laws, ordinances, regulations and restrictions of any duly constituted public authority enacted prior to the Closing Date; 
  
 (iii) grants to governmental entities or to utility and/or
power companies, the right of the public in sidewalks and abutting public rights-of-way, and easements given to the public for water course maintenance, slope rights or sight rights, but only to the extent such rights do not impair or restrict the
use of the Property for the uses contemplated by Purchaser; 
  
 (iv) the lien of current taxes and assessments not due and payable as of the Closing Date; 
  
 (v) special taxes and assessments becoming a lien on or after the Closing Date; 
  
 (vi) if applicable, the Leases, and any other leases of the
Property entered into with Purchaser’s consent pursuant to Section 8(b) below; 
  
 (vii) standard exceptions set forth in the form of title insurance policy of the title insurance company selected by Purchaser; and

  
 (viii) any other matter which would
constitute an Objection that Purchaser waives pursuant to Section 7(c) below, provided that with respect to any Monetary Objection against Seller, same shall not constitute an Objection if a title insurance company authorized to do business
in the state in which the affected Property is located agrees that it will insure title free of such Monetary Objection to Purchaser, their successors and assigns, including, without limitation, future purchasers (“Successor”), or
with affirmative insurance against the enforcement of such Monetary Objection against the affected Fee Property to Purchaser and any Successor, and such removal or affirmative coverage does not require Purchaser or any Successor to defend an action
brought on any such judgment. 
  
 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in this Section 7(a), in no event shall the provisions of this Section 7(a) be interpreted or otherwise construed as requiring Seller to warrant title to the Property except as set forth in the Deeds delivered pursuant to
Section 9(a) below. 
  
 (b) The term
“Objection” shall mean any matter shown on the survey obtained by Purchaser or any covenant, easement, restriction or other title defect or encumbrance (including, without limitation, any lien or the lack of direct access to a
dedicated public road or street), other than the matters referred to in Section 7(a) above, which renders title to the Property either unmarketable or uninsurable at regular rates, reduces the value of the Property or impairs or restricts the
current use of the Property. 
  

 11 








 (c) As to each Property, Purchaser shall order, at Purchaser’s expense, a title
commitment from a title insurance company authorized to do business in the state in which such Property is located and, if so desired by Purchaser, a survey at Purchaser’s expense. Within three (3) business days following Purchaser’s
receipt thereof, Purchaser shall deliver to Seller a copy of the title commitment and, if applicable, survey for such Property. Prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, Purchaser shall deliver to Seller written notice of any Objection
(“Title Objection Notice”) to Seller. Purchaser shall be deemed to have waived any Objection existing on the last day of the Due Diligence Period and not specified in the Title Objection Notice. Purchaser may, at or prior to
Closing, notify Seller in writing (the “Gap Notice”) of any objections to title (x) raised by the Title Company between the expiration of the Due Diligence Period and the Closing Date and that have been recorded on the land records
after the expiration of the Due Diligence Period or (y) known to Seller and not otherwise disclosed to the Title Company or Purchaser. If Purchaser sends a Gap Notice to Seller, Purchaser and Seller shall have the same rights and obligations with
respect to such notice as apply to a Title Objection Notice in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7(c). 
  
 (d) Seller shall have no obligation to bring any action or proceeding or otherwise to incur any expense or liability (contingent or
otherwise) to remedy an Objection; provided, however, that if an Objection is a monetary lien, judgment or encumbrance of an ascertainable amount (a “Monetary Objection”), Seller shall be obligated at or prior to the Closing Date,
to cause such Monetary Objection to be satisfied or to cause the title insurance company to insure title free of such Monetary Objection or with affirmative insurance against the enforcement of such Monetary Objection by delivery of an acceptable
indemnity. If Seller is unable to convey title to a Property in accordance with this Agreement or does not elect to remedy an Objection (other than a Monetary Objection), Purchaser may elect either (i) to accept such title as Seller is able to
convey at Closing, without any reduction of the Purchase Price or any credit or allowance on account thereof or any other claim against Seller, or (ii) to terminate this Agreement as to the Property encumbered or affected by the Objection. Such
election shall be made by Purchaser within ten (10) days after written notice from Seller to Purchaser stating that Seller is unable to convey title in accordance with this Agreement or does not elect to remedy an Objection (other than a Monetary
Objection) (an “Uncured Objection”), such notice of an Uncured Objection from Seller to be given within ten (10) days after its receipt of the Title Objection Notice, in which event this Agreement shall be null and void as to the
Property encumbered or affected by the Uncured Objection, and the parties shall have no further liabilities or obligations hereunder, except as to those obligations which expressly survive the termination of this Agreement. 
  
 (e) Although Seller is not obligated to do so, Seller shall
have the right to remedy any Objection with respect to a Property on written notice given to Purchaser within ten (10) days after Seller’s receipt of the Title Objection Notice. For the purpose of remedying an Objection, Seller shall have the
right to one or more adjournments of the Closing for an aggregate period not to exceed forty-five (45) days. If Seller fails to remedy the Objection prior to the adjourned Closing, the provisions of Section 7(d) above shall be applicable, and
Seller shall be deemed to have elected not to remedy the Objection. 
  
 (f) The sale includes whatever right, title and interest Seller has in and to the equipment and fixtures presently on each Property which are appurtenant to or used in the operation 

  

 12 








 
thereof (subject to the exclusions set forth in Section 3 above). Seller makes no representations as to the quality, kind or condition thereof, and
Purchaser agrees to take the same “WHERE-IS” and “AS-IS.” 
  
 8. Service and Maintenance Contracts. 
  
 (a) On or before September 30, 2004, Seller shall identify for Purchaser in writing any and all maintenance, service and other contracts
for the Properties that Seller desires Purchaser to assume at Closing (the “Service Contracts”). At Closing, Seller shall assign to Purchaser, and Purchaser shall assume, all previously identified Service Contracts, but only if the
Service Contracts are validly assignable. Any Service Contracts that, by their terms, are not validly assignable to Purchaser shall be retained or terminated by Seller. Seller shall indemnify, defend and hold Purchaser harmless from and against all
claims for payment by such contractors for services with respect to such Property rendered prior to the date of the Closing. Purchaser may terminate (and Seller shall, at no cost to Seller, assist Purchaser in terminating) any Service Contracts that
Purchaser desires to terminate, but Purchaser shall be solely responsible for paying, and shall indemnify Seller against, any and all fees and other costs associated with any such Service Contract terminations. The provisions of this Section
8(a) shall survive Closing and the delivery of the Deeds and Assignments, and shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement. 
  
 (b) Seller hereby agrees that from and after the date hereof, Seller shall not enter into any leases of or contracts for any Property, the
term of which leases or contracts extend beyond the Closing without Purchaser’s prior written consent, which consent for leases may be given or withheld in Purchaser’s sole discretion, but for contracts shall not be unreasonably withheld.
Purchaser shall object to any request for consent within five (5) days of presentment by Seller or Purchaser shall be deemed to have consented to the requested lease or contract (each an “Approved Lease”). Purchaser shall pay for
all tenant improvement, brokerage and other leasing costs in connection with any Approved Leases to the extent such costs are not reflected in the calculation of the Purchase Price. 
  
 9. Documents to be Delivered by Seller at Closing. At Closing, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser
(collectively, “Seller’s Closing Documents”): 
  
 (a) for each Closing Property, the customary form of special or limited warranty deed and/or, if applicable, form of assignment and assumption of ground lease (such that Seller shall only warrant for claims arising

 15 








 11. Possession; Vacate Space. 
  
 (a) Except as otherwise provided in this Section 11
with respect to the Vacate Space, at Closing, Seller shall give Purchaser possession of each Closing Property, in broom clean condition, free and clear of all third party rights of possession other than as permitted under the Master Lease Agreement,
the Leases and any Approved Leases under Section 8(b). 
  
 (b) During the Vacate Period, Seller may use and occupy the Vacate Space in conformity with the requirements of this Section 11. The Vacate Space shall not constitute part of the Leased Premises, and the Net
Rentable Area of the Vacate Space shall not be included in the calculation of Seller’s Occupancy Percentage under the Master Lease Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) Seller’s use of the Vacate Space shall be subject to the
provisions of Section 1.5 of the Master Lease Agreement relating to use and to the provisions of Sections 6.4, 6.5, 6.6 and 6.7 of the Master Lease Agreement relating to insurance, indemnifications and waivers of
recovery, (ii) Seller’s performance of any Vacate Space Demising Work to separately demise the Leased Premises from the Vacate Space shall be subject to the provisions of Section 5.7 of the Master Lease Agreement and (iii) the resolution
of any disputes between Purchaser and Seller relating to the Vacate Space or to the scope or cost of any Vacate Space Demising Work shall be subject to the provisions of Articles XII and XIII of the Master Lease Agreement. 

 
 (c) Prior to the expiration of the Vacate Period, Seller
shall, at Seller’s election, either (i) vacate and surrender possession of the Vacate Space to Purchaser or (ii) add the Vacate Space as Leased Premises under the Master Lease Agreement as provided in Article X thereof. Seller may make
different elections with respect to different portions of the Vacate Space. If Seller fails to notify Purchaser prior to the expiration of the Vacate Period of Seller’s election to add Vacate Space as Leased Premises under the Master Lease
Agreement, Seller shall be deemed to have elected to vacate such Vacate Space prior to the expiration of the Vacate Period. If Seller elects to add all or any portion of the Vacate Space as Leased Premises as aforesaid, Purchaser and Seller shall
amend the applicable Lease Supplement (as defined in the Master Lease Agreement) and Exhibit A to the Master Lease Agreement to evidence and confirm the addition of such Vacate Space to the Leased Premises. 
  
 (d) Except to the extent Seller adds Vacate Space as Lease
Premises under the Master Lease Agreement, Seller shall remove all of Seller’s personal property from the entire Vacate Space prior to the expiration of the Vacate Period or, if earlier, within thirty (30) days following the date on which
Seller surrenders possession of the Vacate Space in conformity with the requirements of this Section 11. In the event Seller fails to remove its personal property from the Vacate Space by such date, Purchaser shall have the right to remove
and dispose of the same at Seller’s sole cost and expense. Seller shall deliver the Vacate Space to Purchaser in the same condition as it was in on the date of the execution of this Lease, reasonable wear and tear and Vacate Space Demising
Work, if any, excepted, and subject to the provisions of Section 5.3 and Article VI of the Master Lease Agreement. Unless Seller makes a timely election to add the Vacate Space as Lease Premises under the Master Lease Agreement,
Purchaser may terminate Seller’s right to possess and occupy the Vacate Space at any time following the expiration of the 

  

 16 








 
Vacate Period and thereafter pursue actions at law or in equity to recover immediate possession the Vacate Space. 
  
 (e) Seller shall notify Purchaser in writing as and when
Seller vacates a portion of the Vacate Space. Within five (5) business days following Purchaser’s receipt of any such notice, Purchaser and Seller shall confirm in writing the date on which possession of the Vacate Space were so surrendered to
Purchaser and the Net Rentable Area of the surrendered Vacate Space. Seller may give Purchaser notice that it has vacated all or a portion of the Vacate Space at any time on or after the Closing Date. 
  
 (f) It is the intention of the parties that Seller will
vacate and surrender the entire Vacate Space to Purchaser, on a weighted average basis, within 180 days following the Closing Date, with certain portions of the Vacate Space being surrendered to Purchaser on the Closing Date and other portions of
the Vacate Space not being surrendered to Purchaser until at or immediately prior to the expiration of the Vacate Period. If Seller’s Aggregate Time of Possession for the Vacate Space is greater than 180 days, Seller shall pay to
Purchaser, as liquidated damages on account of such delay, the Holdover Damages Amount as herein provided. 
  
 (g) On or about September 1, 2005, December 1, 2005, and March 1, 2006, Purchaser shall calculate and advise Seller of the amount of any
Holdover Damages Amount due and payable as of such dates. Seller shall pay any such Holdover Damages Amount to Purchaser within twenty (20) days following Seller’s receipt of Purchaser’s detailed calculation of the amount then due and
payable. An illustration of how the Holdover Damages Amount is calculated is attached as Exhibit W hereto. 
  
 (h) Prior to the expiration of the Vacate Period or, if earlier, as expeditiously as possible following the date on which Seller
surrenders possession of the Vacate Space in conformity with the requirements of this Section 11, Seller shall perform, at Seller’s sole cost and expense, any Vacate Space Demising Work required in connection with the Vacate Space. If
Seller fails to expeditiously commence and complete any Vacate Space Demising Work or if Purchaser needs to accelerate completion of all or a portion of the Vacate Space Demising Work at a Project to accommodate Purchaser’s leasing of space to
third party tenants, Purchaser shall have the right, but not the obligation, to complete, at Seller’s sole cost and expense, all or a portion of the unfinished Vacate Space Demising Work. 
  
 (i) The provisions of this Section 11 shall survive
Closing and the delivery of the Deeds and Assignments, and shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement. 
  
 12. Adjustments. 
  
 (a) At Closing, Purchaser and Seller shall adjust for real estate taxes and assessments on the Closing Properties, such adjustments to be
calculated as of 11:59 PM on the day immediately preceding Closing. If the Closing shall occur before the tax rate or assessed valuation of a Closing Property is fixed for the then-current year, the apportionment of real estate taxes for the 

  

 17 








 
year of Closing shall be upon the basis of the most recent tax bills and the tax rate for the most recent tax year applied to the latest assessed valuation.
There shall be no post-Closing reconciliations or re-prorations of adjusted amounts. 
  
 (b) All rents (including operating expense and real estate tax contributions or reimbursements and similar charges (collectively,
“Tenant Pass-Throughs”), credits, security deposits and set-offs due or required to be paid under or by reason of the Leases shall be adjusted by appropriate credit to the Seller or Purchaser (as the case may be) on the Closing
Date. If, at the Closing Date, any tenant is in arrears in the payment of rents, Seller will disclose the same to Purchaser in writing or on the Rent Roll and such amounts shall not be adjusted on the Closing Date. Prior to the Closing Date, Seller
shall use Seller’s current business practices to collect such arrearages. If Purchaser shall collect any such arrearages within ninety (90) days after the Closing Date, then Purchaser shall turn over to Seller the arrearages so collected, less
the reasonable cost of collection thereof, if any; provided, however, Seller may continue to seek to collect the arrearages by legal action following the Closing Date. All rents collected by Purchaser after the Closing Date (except for amounts
specifically billed and paid as end of year reconciliation payments for Tenant Pass-Throughs, which shall be separately accounted for and allocated, pro rata, between Seller and Purchaser as their interest may appear) shall be first applied to rents
payable after the Closing Date and only the excess thereof shall be paid over to Seller on account of the arrearages. To the extent that items to be apportioned hereunder may be required to be paid directly by a tenant under its Lease, same shall
not be apportioned, provided, however, that such items shall have been paid by such tenant currently through the month including the Closing Date. In addition, Seller shall (i) account to and turn over to Purchaser any and all security deposits paid
by existing tenants of the Closing Properties (“Tenant Security Deposits”), or (ii) provide Purchaser a credit against the Purchase Price in the amount of the Tenant Security Deposits. The provisions of this subparagraph (b) shall
survive Closing and the delivery of the Deeds and Assignments, and shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement. 
  
 (c) Seller shall pay, at or prior to Closing, all brokerage fees and commissions for existing Leases entered into prior to the date
hereof. If Closing takes place, all brokerage fees and commissions, if any, for renewals, extensions and expansions of existing Leases exercised after the date hereof, and for new Leases and modifications of existing Leases entered into after the
date hereof and approved by Purchaser as provided in Section 8(b) above, shall be paid by Purchaser. In the event that any Lease existing on the date hereof entitles the tenant thereunder to receive a relocation, improvement, refurbishment or
other allowance (other than in connection with a presently unexercised renewal or extension of the term of such Lease) and such allowance has not been paid to the tenant (or the right to receive such payment has not been waived in a Tenant
Estoppel), Seller shall pay or credit to Purchaser at Closing Seller’s allocated share of such allowance (based on the portion of the term of the Lease that elapsed prior to Closing) and Purchaser shall pay the full amount of such allowance to
the tenant as and when due under the Lease (without further reimbursement from Seller). Purchaser shall indemnify, defend and hold Seller harmless from and against all claims and demands from third party tenants for relocation, improvement,
refurbishment or other allowances from and after the date of the Closing. The provisions of this Section 12(c) shall survive Closing and the delivery of the Deeds and Assignments, and shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of
this Agreement. 
  

 18 








 (d) Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Section 12, at Closing, Seller
and Purchaser shall not adjust, and Purchaser shall acquire the Closing Properties subject to, all unpaid gas, water, sewer, electric and other utility charges, janitorial costs, landscaping and other exterior maintenance costs, condominium fees,
easement costs, common area maintenance fees, property management fees and other charges and expenses relating to the operation and maintenance of the Closing Properties prior to Closing (any amount so assumed by Purchaser, the “Assumed
Property Costs”). Purchaser shall pay the Assumed Property Costs directly to the person or entity entitled to receive the same as and when the Assumed Property Costs become due and payable; provided that Seller shall indemnify, defend and
hold Purchaser harmless from and against all claims and demands for Assumed Property Costs in excess of Six Million & 00/100 Dollars ($6,000,000.00) for services rendered to or at the Closing Properties prior to the Closing Date, but not for any
services rendered from and after the Closing Date. The provisions of this Section 12(d) shall survive Closing and the delivery of the Deeds and Assignments, and shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement.

  
 (e) At Closing, Purchaser shall also
reimburse Seller in the amount of Sixty-Seven Thousand Eight Hundred Twenty-Three & 00/100 Dollars ($67,823.00) for certain costs incurred by Seller in connection with the property located at 100 West Washington Street, Jonesboro, Arkansas.

  
 13. Expenses. 
  
 (a) At Closing and if and only if the subject transaction
closes, Purchaser shall pay the following closing costs (collectively, “Purchaser’s Closing Costs”): 
  
 (i) Phase I Environmental Study expenses for all Properties; 
  
 (ii) all transfer taxes and recording fees as required by applicable law; 
  
 (iii) Survey expenses for all Properties; 
  
 (iv) all costs and expenses of the Measurement; 

 
 (v) all title insurance search fees and insurance
premiums, and all escrow and closing charges of the settlement or closing agent; 
  
 (vi) all structural and physical inspection expenses for all Properties; 
  
 (vii) all recording fees in connection with the conveyances of the Closing Properties; 
  
 (viii) Purchaser’s legal fees and expenses; 

 
 (ix) all appraisal costs; 
  
 (x) all fees and costs of Purchaser’s financing; and

  

 19 








 (xi) miscellaneous expenses incurred by Purchaser. 
  
 (b) At Closing and if and only if the subject transaction
closes, Seller shall pay the following closing costs (collectively, the “Seller’s Closing Costs”): 
  
 (i) real estate brokerage commissions payable to Trammell Crow Corporate Services, Inc. and Jones Lang LaSalle (collectively,
“Seller’s Broker”); 
  
 (ii) all fees and costs paid in connection with the Bank of America Corporate Real Estate Proposed Transaction - Consulting Proposal with J & J Family Investments, LLC; 
  
 (iii) all costs and expenses for any Phase II and Phase III environmental studies, testing and remediation
required in Section 19(d); 
  
 (iv)
Seller’s legal fees and expenses; 
  
 (v)
any recording fees for the satisfaction of any mortgages, liens or judgments affecting any Closing Property; 
  
 (vi) one-half of Purchaser’s Closing Costs described in Sections 13(a)(i) through (vi), inclusive (excluding any costs
or expenses to the extent incurred in connection with any financing obtained by Purchaser); 
  
 (vii) such other of Purchaser’s Closing Costs as are identified by Purchaser at Closing in an amount not to exceed one and one-tenth
percent (1.10%) of the Purchase Price; and 
  
 (viii) miscellaneous expenses incurred by Seller. 
  
 14. Default. 
  
 (a) If
Seller breaches this Agreement prior to or at Closing, the sole liability of Seller shall be and the sole remedy of Purchaser shall be limited to either (i) payment to Purchaser, as liquidated damages, for each Property for which Closing has not
occurred and for which Purchaser has performed some or all of its investigations pursuant to Sections 7 and 19, the sum equal to Purchaser’s actual, reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred subsequent for title, survey
and other due diligence reports and evaluations in connection with the Properties, whereupon Purchaser shall deliver to Seller complete copies (with all appendices and exhibits) of all due diligence reports, evaluations, investigations, surveys and
title searches in Purchaser’s possession or control (without representation or warranty and with a disclaimer of reliance), and this Agreement shall become null and void and the parties shall have no further liabilities or obligations
hereunder; or (ii) a suit by Purchaser for specific performance only. 
  
 (b) If Purchaser breaches this Agreement prior to or at any Closing, Seller shall be entitled to terminate this Agreement in its entirety and to receive as liquidated damages the sum of Seller’s actual,
out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred subsequent to the date of this Agreement (exclusive of attorney’s fees) for due diligence reports and evaluations, and this 

  

 20 








 
Agreement shall become null and void and the parties shall have no further liabilities or obligations hereunder. In addition, Purchaser shall deliver to
Seller complete copies (with all appendices and exhibits) of all due diligence reports, evaluations, investigations, surveys and title searches in Purchaser’s possession or control (without representation or warranty and with a disclaimer of
reliance). The provisions of this subparagraph (b) shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement. The parties acknowledge that the aforesaid liquidated damages are reasonable and do not constitute a penalty and are being
agreed upon due to the difficulty of calculating the actual amount of damages that Seller might sustain in the event of a default by Purchaser and termination of this Agreement. 
  
 (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 14(a), in the event Seller’s
breach is caused by or arises out of regulatory issues, Seller shall have no liability whatsoever to Purchaser; this Agreement shall become null and void in its entirety, and the parties shall have no further liabilities or obligations hereunder,
except for those obligations which expressly survive the termination of this Agreement. 
  
 15. Risk of Loss. 
  
 (a) If a condemnation proceeding is instituted against a Property or any portion thereof, or if a Property is substantially damaged by fire or other casualty, prior to Closing, Purchaser may terminate this Agreement
with respect to such Property upon ten (10) days written notice to Seller, whereupon the parties shall have no further liabilities or obligations hereunder, except for those obligations which expressly survive the termination of this Agreement. If
Purchaser does not so terminate this Agreement in the case of condemnation or substantial damage by fire or other casualty, or if in the case of fire or other casualty to a Property there is less than substantial damage, then in each of such cases,
this Agreement shall continue to be effective as to all of the Properties, and Seller shall assign to Purchaser at Closing all of Seller’s right to receive any award for such condemnation or insurance proceeds as a result of such damage (as the
case may be), together with all of Seller’s rights to litigate such claim and to negotiate a settlement with the condemning authority or the insurance carrier; provided, however, to the extent Seller self-insures (including a deductible or any
under-insured amount) against a casualty, then the Purchase Price for the affected Property shall be adjusted to reflect a credit in favor of Purchaser for the amount of such under-insured amount. For purposes of this Section 15, a Property
shall be deemed to have been “substantially damaged” if such damage occurs at a Property that Seller is responsible to restore and such restoration either will require more than one-hundred twenty (120) days to complete or will cost in
excess of twenty-five percent (25%) of such Property’s purchase price equivalent which is arrived at by multiplying the Agreed Upon Percentage for such Property times the Purchase Price. Seller agrees to maintain its current property insurance
policies, if any, on the Properties during the pendency of this Agreement. 
  
 (b) Purchaser acknowledges that Seller has advised it that, as of the date hereof, certain of the Properties as identified on Exhibit T hereto are the subject of pending condemnation actions (collectively, the
“Pending Condemnations”). Purchase agrees that, Seller, and not Purchaser, shall be entitled to retain any awards resulting from a successful prosecution or settlement of the Pending Condemnations. In the event that Purchaser
receives any such award 

  

 21 








 
directly from the affected condemning authority, Purchaser shall promptly pay to Seller (or credit Seller under the Master Lease Agreement) any amounts so
received by Purchaser on Seller’s behalf. 
  
 16.

regulation of human health, natural resources, or the environment, or the emission, discharge, release or threatened release of pollutants, contaminants, chemicals, or industrial, toxic or hazardous substances or waste or Hazardous Materials into
the environment (including, without limitation, ambient air, surface, water, ground water or soil). 
  
 (d) Purchaser acknowledges that, subject to the termination rights set forth in Section 19(c), Purchaser shall accept all
Properties (including all improvements located thereon) at Closing in their AS IS physical condition WITH ALL FAULTS, including, without limitation, with the presence of Hazardous Materials thereon or therein. Purchaser, on behalf of itself and its

 19. Due Diligence Period; Purchaser’s Access to Properties. The obligations of
Seller and Purchaser under this Agreement shall be subject to and contingent upon timely satisfaction of the following conditions, which conditions, if not satisfied or waived as hereinafter provided, shall entitle Seller or Purchaser, as the case
may be, to terminate this Agreement in accordance with (and within the time periods set forth in) this Section 19: 
  
 (a) Access. During the Due Diligence Period, Purchaser shall be granted access to each of the Properties in order to perform such
due diligence review and analysis of the Properties as Purchaser deems necessary including, without limitation, to investigate, review, measure, survey and physically inspect each Property, including, without limitation, the structural and building
elements of each Property, to obtain a title search and survey, to conduct Phase I environmental studies and engineering studies of each Property as described below, to review the Leases being assigned to Purchaser and other documents requested by
Purchaser in Section 19(g) below (collectively, the “Due Diligence Inspections”). All Due Diligence Inspections of the Properties shall be scheduled at times mutually convenient to Seller and Purchaser upon not less than
three (3) prior business days’ notice to Seller, which notice shall identify the nature of the investigation to be performed at each Property, when Purchaser desires the investigations to occur and the person or entity engaged by Purchaser to
perform the investigation. 
  
 (b) Insurance
and Indemnity. During the Due Diligence Period for each Property, as same may be extended with respect to such Property pursuant to Sections 19(d) hereof, Purchaser, its employees and agents, at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense,
shall have the right to enter upon such Property to conduct the Due Diligence Inspections. Purchaser shall give Seller at least 48 hours prior written notice of its desire to enter upon the Property and shall coordinate such entry and Due Diligence
Inspections with Seller so that the entry is at a mutually convenient time. Purchaser shall conduct the Due Diligence Inspections in a manner which shall not interfere with Seller’s business operations on the Property and notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Purchaser shall not be permitted entry into any vaults, safes, or other areas of the Buildings containing confidential or secure property of Seller. Prior to Purchaser’s start of the Due
Diligence Inspections, Purchaser shall provide certificates of insurance to Seller evidencing liability insurance in the minimum amount of $2,000,000.00 combined per occurrence limit carried by Purchaser and/or Purchaser’s agents in order to
insure any loss arising out of or in connection with entry upon the Property. The aforesaid insurance shall be issued by an insurance company licensed in the state where the Property is located and said insurance company shall be reasonably
acceptable to Seller. Upon completion of the Due Diligence Inspections, Purchaser, shall restore the Property to the condition in which it existed prior to the Due Diligence Inspections. Purchaser shall and hereby does indemnify, defend, and save
harmless Seller from and against any and all claims arising out of the entry on and inspection of each and every Property by Purchaser and/or Purchaser’s employees and agents, including, without limitation, Seller’s reasonable
attorneys’ fees and costs. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, the terms of this subsection shall survive Closing and the delivery of the Deeds and Assignments, and shall survive the expiration or earlier
termination of this Agreement. 
  
 (c)
Physical Inspection/Diligence Review. During the Due Diligence Period for each Property, Purchaser may, at its sole cost and expense, review the documents requested in Section 19(g) (“Seller’s Documentation”) and
the physical and environmental condition of the Land and Improvements. Purchaser shall have until the end of the Due Diligence Period to disapprove of the Seller’s Documentation and/or the physical and environmental condition of the Properties
and to terminate this Agreement by delivering a written notice (a “Termination Notice”) to Seller on or before the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, with time being of the essence with respect to Purchaser’s obligation to
deliver such notice. If for any reason whatsoever Purchaser determines, in its sole discretion, that the Properties, the Seller’s 

  

 25 








 
Documentation or any aspect thereof is unsuitable for Purchaser’s acquisition, Purchaser shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by delivering
said Termination Notice to Seller prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, and if Purchaser gives such notice of termination within the Due Diligence Period, this Agreement shall terminate. If Seller does not receive a Termination Notice
from Purchaser before the end of the Due Diligence Period, with time being of the essence, Purchaser shall be deemed to have approved of the Seller’s Documentation and the physical and environmental condition of the Properties and all other
matters relating thereto. 
  
 (d)
Environmental Inspection. Prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, if Purchaser’s environmental consultant, based on records and other documentation obtained during its Phase I environmental investigation (“Phase I
Study”), determines that a Phase II environmental study (“Phase II Study”) is necessary with respect to a Property, Purchaser shall give to Seller written notice thereof, together with a complete copy of the Phase I Study
and a reasonably detailed explanation of the reasons therefor from Purchaser’s environmental consultant. Within ten (10) days after receipt of such notice, Seller, at its sole election, shall either (i) obtain the Phase II Study at
Seller’s sole cost and expense, (ii) permit Purchaser to obtain a Phase II Study at Seller’s sole cost and expense, which shall be conducted by an environmental consultant satisfactory to Seller in its reasonable judgment pursuant to a
scope of study satisfactory to Seller in its reasonable judgment; or (iii) withdraw the Closed Property from this Agreement, and in the latter event, this Agreement shall terminate and be null and void as to such withdrawn Property, but shall
continue in full force and effect as to the remaining Properties. Unless Seller notifies Purchaser during such ten-day period of Seller’s election to obtain (or to permit Purchaser to obtain) a Phase II Study, Seller shall be deemed to have
elected to withdraw the Property from this Agreement as expressed in clause (iii) above. If Seller or Purchaser obtains a Phase II Study for such Property, as provided above, and if the Phase II Study identifies one or more environmental conditions
requiring remediation (“Remediation Conditions”), then, within ten (10) days after Seller delivers the Phase II Study to Purchaser, or Purchaser delivers the Phase II Study to Seller, as applicable, Seller, at its sole election,
shall either (A) agree to remediate and abate the Remediation Condition(s) at Seller’s sole cost and expense in conformity with all applicable Environmental Requirements or (B) withdraw the Property from this Agreement, and in the latter event,
this Agreement shall terminate and be null and void as to such withdrawn Property, but shall continue in full force and effect as to the remaining Properties. Unless Seller notifies Purchaser during such ten-day period of Seller’s election to
remediate and abate the disclosed environmental condition(s), Seller shall be deemed to have elected to withdraw the Property from this Agreement as expressed in clause (B) above. Unless the Property is withdrawn from this Agreement by Seller as
aforesaid, the Due Diligence Period and Closing automatically shall be extended for such time as is necessary for Seller or Purchaser, as applicable, to complete the environmental investigations and remediations described above. In the event of a
withdrawal of a Property pursuant to this subparagraph or a termination of this Agreement as provided herein as to such Property, Seller shall reimburse Purchaser for all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Purchaser in connection with the Due
Diligence Inspections for such Property. 
  
 (e)
Due Diligence Indemnity. If Seller elects to remediate and abate the Remediation Conditions pursuant to clause (d)(i) above or Seller has been unable to cure, remove or otherwise satisfy an Objection raised during Purchaser’s review of
title and survey for each Property (collectively, a “Due Diligence Objection”) and such remediation, abatement, cure or satisfaction of 

  

 26 








 
the Due Diligence Objection shall extend beyond the Closing Date, Seller, at Seller’s sole option, may indemnify, defend and protect Purchaser against
any claims, costs, judgments, actions, liability, and expense, including, without limitation, reasonable attorney’s fees and costs arising from or in connection with the Seller’s actions to remediate, abate, cure, remove, or satisfy the
Due Diligence Objection (the “Due Diligence Indemnity”). If Seller provides Purchaser with a Due Diligence Indemnity for a Property, Seller shall be deemed to have satisfied such uncured Due Diligence Objections and the Property or
Properties shall be ready for Closing pursuant to Section 6 above. 
  
 (f) Measurement. Purchaser shall retain a consultant or firm reasonably acceptable to Seller, which approval shall not be unreasonably conditioned or delayed to measure the rentable square footage of each
Building (the “Measurement”). The Measurement shall be conducted in accordance with the Z65.1 Standard Method for Measuring Floor Area in Office Buildings promulgated and issued by the Building Owners and Managers Association (the
“BOMA Standard”). All cost and expense of the Measurement shall be paid by Purchaser, provided that if Closing does not occur on a Property for which Measurement costs have been incurred, such costs shall be paid by the party
responsible for such Closing not to occur. The results of the Measurement shall be delivered to Purchaser and Seller within ten (10) days following completion thereof and, in any event, Measurements for all Properties shall be completed in the
manner specified in the Master Lease Agreement. The Measurement shall be binding on Seller and Purchaser, unless within thirty (30) days following receipt of the Measurement by both parties, either Seller or Purchaser delivers written notice to the
other party specifying deviations from the BOMA Standard, in which event, the consultant shall be instructed to revise the results of the Measurement to comply with the BOMA Standard and such revision shall be binding on Seller and Purchaser. The
foregoing provisions of this Section 19(f) shall survive Closing and the delivery of the Deeds and Assignments, and shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement. 
  
 (g) Seller’s Document Deliveries. Seller has
made available to Purchaser at the location or locations where such documents are kept in the ordinary course of Seller’s business for inspection and copying at Purchaser’s expense all of the following documents:

the Closing Date by any such authority. If Closing takes place as to such Property, all other requirements and notices shall be complied with by Purchaser and all other work or improvements done or ordered done shall be performed and paid for
Purchaser. 
  
 (b) Seller agrees that from and
after Seller’s execution of this Agreement that Seller will not file any real estate tax assessment appeal with respect to any Property prior to Closing on such Property without Purchaser’s prior written consent. 
  
 (c) Purchaser acknowledges that Seller has advised it that,
as of the date hereof, certain of the Properties as identified on Exhibit U hereto are the subject of pending tax assessment appeals (collectively, the “Pending Tax Appeals”) for tax years occurring, in whole or in part,
prior to the Closing Date. Purchase agrees that Seller at Seller’s sole cost and expense, may continue to prosecute to settlement or completion, as Seller may elect, any and all of the Pending Tax Appeals, and that Seller, and not Purchaser,
shall be entitled to retain any refunds or credits resulting from a successful prosecution or settlement of the Pending Tax Appeals, but only to the extend relating to periods occurring prior to the Closing Date. In the event that Purchaser receives
any such refund or credit directly from the affected taxing authority, Purchaser shall promptly pay to Seller (or credit Seller under the Master Lease Agreement) any amounts so received by Purchaser on Seller’s behalf.

 23. Further Assurances. From time to time and at the request of either Seller or Purchaser (whether before, at or after the
Closing), the other party shall execute, acknowledge and deliver such other and further documents as the requesting party may reasonably request to effectuate the provisions of this Agreement. The provisions of this Section 23 shall survive
Closing and the delivery of the Deeds and Assignments, and shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement. 
  
 24. Estoppel Certificates; SNDA. 
  
 (a) At Closing, Seller shall, as tenant under the Master Lease Agreement, execute and deliver to Purchaser and Purchaser’s lender, a
tenant estoppel in substantially the form attached as Exhibit K hereto (“Tenant Estoppel”). Within ten (10) days of Purchaser’s receipt of the Rent Roll, Seller shall deliver a Tenant Estoppel to those tenants listed on
the Rent Roll. Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain and deliver to Purchaser and Purchaser’s lender during the Due Diligence Period, Tenant Estoppels executed by at least fifty-one percent (51%) of the tenants under the
Leases (excluding the Master Lease Agreement), provided that (i) Seller shall obtain and deliver to Purchaser and Purchaser’s lender (or give a Seller Estoppel in connection with) at least one Tenant Estoppel from a third party tenants in each
Closing Property that contains third-party tenant, (ii) Seller shall obtain and deliver to Purchaser and Purchaser’s lender (or give a Seller estoppel in connection with) all third party Leases covering 50,000 or more rentable square feet and
(iii) the fifty-one percent (51%) shall be calculated on the basis of number of Leases or rentable square feet occupied at each Building that has third party Leases, whichever is greater. Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts after the
Closing of each Closing Property as a post-closing obligation to obtain the required number of Tenant Estoppels for each Closing Property. If by the Closing Date, Seller is unable to deliver the requisite number of Tenant Estoppels to Purchaser and
Purchaser’s lender, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser an estoppel certificate dated as of the Closing Date certifying to the best of Seller’s knowledge after due inquiry and investigation the matters set forth in the Tenant Estoppel. The
phrase “commercially reasonable efforts” as used in this Section does not require Seller to declare a default or terminate any of the Leases or initiate any litigation to compel the delivery of a Tenant Estoppel. 

 
 (b) Seller, as tenant under the Master Lease Agreement,
Purchaser, and Purchaser’s lender, shall execute and deliver to each other at Closing a Subordination, Non-Disturbance and Attornment Agreement for the Master Lease Agreement and any amendment thereto in the form reasonably agreed to by Seller,
Purchaser, and Purchaser’s lender (“SNDA”). Purchaser shall obtain the execution of each SNDA by Purchaser’s lender and deliver the same to Seller at Closing.

Purchaser harmless from and against all claims, lawsuits, costs (including reasonable counsel fees), losses, damages and liabilities that arise out of or relate to (i) transactions or operations at a Closing Property before the Closing Date, but
specifically excluding any matter relating to the physical condition of a Closing Property or the presence of any Hazardous Materials in, on or at a Closing Property (or any improvements) at the time of Closing, and (ii) any breach by Seller of any
representation, warranty or covenant of Seller contained in this Agreement that survives the Closing. If any claim or lawsuit is made or commenced as to which Purchaser proposes to demand such indemnification, it shall notify Seller with reasonable
promptness; provided, however, that any failure of Purchaser to notify Seller shall not relieve Seller from its obligations hereunder, except to the extent that Seller is actually prejudiced by such failure to give notice. Seller shall have the
option of defending such claim or lawsuit with counsel of its own choosing at its own cost and expense and such counsel shall, to the extent consistent with its professional responsibilities, cooperate with Purchaser and any counsel designated by
Purchaser. Seller shall be liable for any settlement of any claim or lawsuit against Purchaser made with Seller’s written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. 
  
 (c) The provisions of this Section 28 shall survive Closing and the delivery of the Deeds and
Assignments, and shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement. 
  
 29. Marketing. 
  
 (a) Seller acknowledges and agrees that the terms of this Agreement shall be included in Purchaser’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and shall be available for review
by the public, including access through the SEC’s EDGAR internet search engine and document retrieval system. Seller authorizes Purchaser to release, distribute, and discuss the terms and conditions of this Agreement as set forth in this
Section 29(a) without need for Seller’s prior consent or approval. 
  
 (b) Purchaser may at any time prior to Closing market space in the Properties not covered by the Master Lease Agreement or otherwise
occupied by Seller or any third-party tenant, to Purchaser’s contacts (including existing tenants occupying space in a Property and persons who Purchaser believes may be interested in using such Property and persons, including 

  

 32 








 
brokers, who may have contacts and relationships with such users), but in doing so, shall not publicly market or advertise or promote in any manner the
availability of such Property for sale, lease or other disposition. 
  
 30. No Offer. This Agreement shall neither be deemed an offer to sell nor shall it bind, obligate or be effective against Seller unless and until (a) the Agreement has been approved in writing by Seller’s
appropriate management authority and (b) this Agreement has been fully executed by Seller and Purchaser and an executed copy is delivered to Seller. 
  
 31. No Liability. No individual officers, directors, shareholders, agents or representatives of Seller or of Purchaser shall
have any personal liability under this Agreement, either for the observance or performance of such party’s rights, duties or obligations hereunder, or for the default of such party to observe and perform its obligations hereunder, or under any
document executed in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, or otherwise. 
  
 32. Radon Notice. RADON IS A NATURALLY OCCURRING RADIOACTIVE GAS THAT, WHEN IT HAS ACCUMULATED IN A BUILDING IN SUFFICIENT QUANTITIES, MAY PRESENT HEALTH RISKS TO PERSONS WHO ARE EXPOSED TO
IT OVER TIME. LEVELS OF RADON THAT EXCEED FEDERAL AND STATE GUIDELINES HAVE BEEN FOUND IN BUILDINGS IN FLORIDA. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING RADON AND RADON TESTING MAY BE OBTAINED FROM YOUR COUNTY PUBLIC HEALTH UNIT. 
  
 33. Property Audits. Promptly following the date
hereof, Seller shall engage (or sign a representation letter to permit Purchaser to engage) Price Waterhouse Coopers LLP, Seller’s independent, outside accounting firm, to prepare, at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense, in conformity with
the requirements of Rule 3-14 of Regulations S-X promulgated by the SEC, a combined statement of revenues and certain expenses relating to the operation of the Properties for (i) the calendar year ending December 31, 2003 and (ii) the calendar
quarter ending June 30, 2004 (collectively, the “Property Audits”). Promptly following Purchaser’s reasonable request therefor, Seller shall cause (or permit Purchaser to cause) Price Waterhouse Coopers LLP to update the
Property Audits, at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense, through the end of the calendar quarter preceding the calendar quarter in which the Closing occurs. Purchaser acknowledges that Seller’s agreement to facilitate the Property Audits as
herein provided is being made strictly as an accommodation to Purchaser, without representation or warranty of any kind to or for the benefit to Purchaser. 
  
 34. Capital Work. Seller acknowledges that the Purchase Price includes the cost, as reasonable estimated by Seller, to
complete certain capital repairs, replacements and improvements at certain of the Properties (collectively, the “Capital Work”) and that Seller may not complete construction of all of the Capital Work prior to Closing. At Closing,
Seller shall deliver to Purchaser a schedule of all incomplete Capital Work (collectively, the “Incomplete Capital Work”), which Seller and Purchaser shall append as Exhibit S hereto. As expeditiously as practicable following
Closing, Seller shall complete all Incomplete Capital Work in a good and workmanlike manner at Seller’s sole cost and expense. The provisions of this Section 34 

  

 33 








 
shall survive Closing and the delivery of the Deeds and Assignments, and shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement. 

 
 35. Linked Properties. Exhibit V hereto
contains a schedule wherein certain Properties are paired or grouped with one or more other Properties. Each such Property is hereinafter referred to as a “Linked Property”. If either party hereto terminates this Agreement as to a
Linked Property, this Agreement shall automatically terminate as to the Property or Properties with which the Linked Property is paired or grouped. Upon the termination of this Agreement as to Linked Properties, Seller shall reimburse Purchaser, or
Purchaser shall reimburse Seller, as herein provided, for all out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the Due Diligence Inspections for such removed Linked Properties. Thereafter, this Agreement shall be null and void as to the Linked
Properties (but shall remain in force and effect as to the remaining Properties), and neither party shall have any obligation to the other with respect to the removed Linked Properties, except to the extent such obligation expressly survives such
termination.
