(a)    Related Company Positions. The Employee agrees that the Employee and members of the Employee’s
immediate family will not have any financial interest directly or indirectly (including through any entity in which the Employee or any member of the Employee’s immediate family has a position or financial interest) in any transactions with the
Company or any subsidiaries or affiliates thereof unless all such transactions, prior to being entered into, have been disclosed to the Board of Directors and approved by a majority of the independent members of the Board of Directors and comply
with all other Company policies and applicable law as may be in effect from time to time. The Employee also agrees that she will inform the Board of Directors of the Company of any transactions involving the Company or any of its subsidiaries or

 (b)    Discounts, Rebates or Commissions. Unless expressly
permitted by written policies and procedures of the Company in effect from time to time that may be applicable to the Employee, neither the Employee nor any immediate family member will be entitled to receive or obtain directly or indirectly any
discount, rebate or commission in respect of any sale or purchase of goods or services effected or other business transacted (whether or not by the Employee) by or on behalf of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates, and if the
Employee or any immediate family member (or any firm or company in which the Employee or any immediate family member is interested) obtains any such discount, rebate or commission, the Employee will pay to the Company an amount equal to the amount
so received (or the proportionate amount received by any such firm or company to the extent of the Employee’s or family member’s interest therein). 

6.    Term; Termination. 

(a)    Unless sooner terminated pursuant to the provisions of this Section 6, the term of this Agreement (the
“Term”) will be Three (3) years after the effective date. 
 (b)    Voluntary Termination by
the Employee. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Employee may voluntarily Terminate this Agreement by providing the Company with ninety (90) days’ advance written notice (“Voluntary Termination”), in
which case, the Employee will not be entitled to receive payment of any severance benefits or other amounts by reason of the Termination other than accrued salary and vacation through the date of the Termination. The Employee’s right to all
other benefits will terminate as of the date of Termination, other than any continuation required by applicable law. Without limiting the foregoing, if, in connection with a Change in Control, the surviving entity or successor to Sohu’s
business offers the Employee employment on substantially equivalent terms to those set forth in this Agreement and such offer is not accepted by the Employee, the refusal by the Employee to accept such offer and the subsequent termination of the
Employee’s employment by the Company shall be deemed to be a voluntary termination of employment by the Employee and shall not be treated as a termination by the Company without Cause. 

(c)    Termination by the Company for Cause. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company may
Terminate this Agreement for Cause by written notice to the Employee, effective immediately upon the delivery of such notice. In such case, the Employee will not be entitled to receive payment of any severance benefits or other amounts by reason of
the Termination other than accrued salary and vacation through the date of the Termination. The Employee’s right to all other benefits will terminate, other than any continuation required by applicable law. 

  
 -3- 

 (d)    Termination by the Employee with Good Reason or Termination by
the Company without Cause. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Employee may Terminate this Agreement for Good Reason, and the Company may Terminate this Agreement without Cause, in either case upon thirty (30) days’
advance written notice by the party Terminating this Agreement to the other party and the Termination shall be effective as of the expiration of such thirty (30) day period. If the Employee Terminates with Good Reason or the Company Terminates
without Cause, the Employee will be entitled to continue to receive payment of severance benefits equal to the Employee’s monthly base salary in effect on the date of Termination for the shorter of (i) six (6) months and (ii) the
remainder of the Term of this Agreement (the “Severance Period”), provided that the Employee complies with the Employee Obligations Agreement during the Severance Period and executes a release agreement in the form requested by the
Company at the time of such Termination that releases the Company from any and all claims arising from or related to the employment relationship and/or such Termination. Such payments will be made ratably over the Severance Period according to the
Company’s standard payroll schedule. The Employee will also receive payment of the bonus for the remainder of the year of the Termination, but only to the extent that the bonus would have been earned had the Employee continued in employment
through the end of such year, as determined in good faith by the Company’s CEO, Board of Directors, or Compensation Committee based on the specific corporate and individual performance targets established for such fiscal year, and only to the
extent that bonuses are paid for such fiscal year to other similarly situated employees. Health insurance benefits with the same coverage (e.g., medical, dental, optical and mental health coverage) provided to the Employee prior to the Termination
and in all other material respects comparable to those in place immediately prior to the Termination will be provided at the Company’s expense during the Severance Period. The Company will also continue to carry the Employee on its Directors
and Officers insurance policy for six (6) years following the Date of Termination at the Company’s expense with respect to insurable events which occurred during the Employee’s term as a director or officer of the Company, with such
coverage being at least comparable to that in effect immediately prior to the Termination Date; provided, however, that (i) such terms, conditions and exceptions will not be, in the aggregate, materially less favorable to the Employee than
those in effect on the Termination Date and (ii) if the aggregate annual premiums for such insurance at any time during such period exceed two hundred percent (200%) of the per annum rate of premium currently paid by the Company for such
insurance, then the Company will provide the maximum coverage that is then available at an annual premium equal to two hundred percent (200%) of such rate. 

(e)    Termination by Reason of Death or Disability. A Termination of the Employee’s employment by reason of
death or Disability shall not be deemed to be a Termination by the Company (for or without Cause) or by the Employee (for or without Good Reason). In the event that the Employee’s employment with the Company Terminates as a result of the
Employee’s death or Disability, the Employee or the Employee’s estate or representative, as applicable, will receive all accrued salary and accrued vacation as of the date of the Employee’s death or Disability and any other benefits
payable under the Company’s then existing benefit plans and policies in accordance with such plans and policies in effect on the date of death or Disability and in accordance with applicable law. In addition, the Employee or the Employee’s
estate or representative, as applicable, will receive the bonus for the year in which the death or Disability occurs to the extent that a bonus would have been earned had the Employee continued in employment through the end of such year, as
determined in good faith by the Company’s CEO, Board of Directors, or Compensation Committee based on the specific corporate and individual performance targets established for such fiscal year, and only to the extent that bonuses are paid for
such fiscal year to other similarly situated employees. 

  
 -4- 

 (f)    Misconduct After Termination of Employment.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Employee after the termination of her employment violates or fails to fully comply with the Employee Obligations Agreement, thereafter (i) the Employee shall not be entitled to any payments from the
Company, (ii) any insurance or other benefits that have continued shall terminate immediately, (iii) the Employee shall promptly reimburse to the Company all amounts that have been paid to the Employee pursuant to this Section 6; and
(iv) if the Employee would not, in the absence of such violation or failure to comply, have been entitled to severance payments from the Company equal to at least six (6) months’ base salary, the Employee shall pay to the Company an
amount equal to the difference between six (6) months’ base salary and the amount of severance pay measured by base salary reimbursed to the Company by the Employee pursuant to clause (iii) of this sentence. 

7.    Equity-Based Compensation-Related Provisions. 

(a)    Termination by the Company Without Cause after a Change in Control. If Company Terminates this Agreement
without Cause within twelve (12) months following a Change in Control, the vesting and exercisability of each of the Employee’s outstanding stock options or other equity-based incentive awards (“Awards”) will accelerate
such that the Award will become fully vested and exercisable upon the effectiveness of the Termination, and any repurchase right of the Company with respect to shares of stock or other equity issued upon exercise of the Award will completely lapse,
in each case subject to paragraph (c) below (“Forfeiture of Options for Misconduct”). 

(b)    Termination other than by the Company Without Cause after a Change in Control. If the Employee’s
employment with the Company Terminates for any reason, unless the Company Terminates this Agreement without Cause within twelve (12) months following a Change in Control, the vesting and exercisability of each of the Employee’s outstanding
Awards shall cease upon the effectiveness of the Termination, such that any unvested Award shall be cancelled. 

(c)    Forfeiture of Options for Misconduct. If the Employee fails to comply with the terms of this Agreement, the
Employee Obligations Agreement, or the written policies and procedures of the Company, as the same may be amended from time to time, or acts against the specific instructions of the Board of Directors of the Company or if this Agreement is
terminated by the Company for Cause (each a “Penalty Breach”), the Employee will forfeit any Awards that have been granted to her or to which the Employee may be entitled, whether the same are then vested or not, and the same shall
thereafter not be exercisable at all, and all shares of common stock of the Company, if any, purchased by the Employee pursuant to the exercise of Awards and still then owned by the Employee may be repurchased by the Company, at its sole discretion,
at the price paid by the Employee for such shares of common stock. The terms of all outstanding option grants are hereby amended to conform with this provision.

 8.    Employee Obligations Agreement. By signing this Agreement,
the Employee hereby agrees to execute and deliver to the Company the Employee Obligations Agreement, and such execution and delivery shall be a condition to the Employee’s entitlement to her rights under this Agreement. 

9.    Governing Law; Resolution of Disputes. This Agreement will be governed by and construed and enforced in
accordance with the laws of the State of New York if the Employee is not a citizen of the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”), and in accordance with the laws of the PRC if the Employee is a citizen of the PRC, in each case
exclusive of such jurisdiction’s principles of conflicts of law. If, under the applicable law, any portion of this Agreement is at any time deemed to be in conflict with any applicable statute, rule, regulation or ordinance, such portion will
be deemed to be modified or altered to conform thereto or, if that is not possible, to be omitted from this Agreement; the invalidity of any such portion will not affect the force, effect and validity of the remaining portion hereof. Each of the
parties hereto irrevocably agrees that any dispute or controversy arising out of, relating to, or concerning any interpretation, construction, performance or breach of this Agreement, shall be settled by arbitration to be held in Hong Kong under the
Hong Kong International Arbitration Centre Administered Arbitration Rules (the “Arbitration Rules”) in force when a Notice of Arbitration with respect thereto is submitted in accordance with the Arbitration Rules. There shall be one
arbitrator, selected in accordance with the Arbitration Rules. The decision of the arbitrator shall be final, conclusive and binding on the parties to the arbitration. Judgment may be entered on the arbitrator’s decision in any court having
jurisdiction. The parties to the arbitration shall each pay an equal share of the costs and expenses of such arbitration, and each party shall separately pay for its respective counsel fees and expenses; provided, however, that the prevailing party
in any such arbitration shall be entitled to recover from the non-prevailing party its reasonable costs and attorney fees.

2.    Nonsolicitation. During the Noncompete Period, I will not, either for my own account or for the account of
any other person: (i) solicit, induce, attempt to hire, or hire any employee or contractor of SOHU or any other person who may have been employed or engaged by SOHU during the term of my employment with SOHU unless that person has not worked

 3.    Confidential Information. 

(a)    While employed by SOHU and indefinitely thereafter, I will not, directly or indirectly, use any Confidential
Information (as hereinafter defined) other than pursuant to my employment by and for the benefit of SOHU, or disclose any such Confidential Information to anyone outside of SOHU or to anyone within SOHU who has not been authorized to receive such
information, except as directed in writing by an authorized representative of SOHU.

information which SOHU has voluntarily disclosed to the public without restriction, or which is otherwise known to the public at large. 

4.    Rights in Work Product. 

(a)    I agree that all Work Product (as hereinafter defined) will be the sole property of SOHU. I agree that all Work
Product that constitutes original works of authorship protectable by copyright are “works made for hire,” as that term is defined in the United States Copyright Act and, therefore, the property of SOHU. I agree to waive, and hereby waive
and irrevocably and exclusively assign to SOHU, all right, title and interest I may have in or to any other Work Product and, to the extent that such rights may not be waived or assigned, I agree not to assert such rights against SOHU or its
licensees (and sublicensees), successors or assigns.

 8.    General Provisions. 

(a)    This Agreement contains the entire agreement between me and SOHU with respect to the subject matter hereof and
supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements and understandings related to the subject matter hereof, whether written or oral; provided however, that, with respect to periods through the date hereof, this Agreement will not supersede the
Employee Non-competition, Non-solicitation, Confidential Information and Work Product Agreement between SOHU and me that was in effect prior to the date hereof (the
“Prior Employee Obligations Agreement”), which will continue in full force and effect with respect to such periods. This Agreement may not be modified except by written agreement signed by SOHU and me. 

(b)    This Agreement will be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of New York
if the Employee is not a citizen of the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”), and in accordance with the laws of the PRC if the Employee is a citizen of the PRC, in each case exclusive of such jurisdiction’s principles of
conflicts of law. If, under the applicable law, any portion of this Agreement is at any time deemed to be in conflict with any applicable statute, rule, regulation or ordinance, such portion will be deemed to be modified or altered to conform
thereto or, if that is not possible, to be omitted from this Agreement; the invalidity of any such portion will not affect the force, effect and validity of the remaining portion hereof. Each of the parties hereto irrevocably (i) agrees that
any dispute or controversy arising out of, relating to, or concerning any interpretation, construction, performance or breach of this Agreement, shall be settled to be held in the Hong Kong S.A.R. under the Hong Kong International Arbitration Centre
Administered Arbitration Rules (the “Arbitration Rules”) in force when a Notice of Arbitration with respect thereto is submitted in accordance with the Arbitration Rules. There shall be one arbitrator, selected in accordance with the
Arbitration Rules. The decision of the arbitrator shall be final, conclusive and binding on the parties to the arbitration. Judgment may be entered on the arbitrator’s decision in any court having jurisdiction. The parties to the arbitration
shall each pay an equal share of the costs and expenses of such arbitration, and each party shall separately pay for its respective counsel fees and expenses; provided, however, that the prevailing party in any such arbitration shall be entitled to
recover from the non-prevailing party its reasonable costs and attorney fees. 

(c)    In the event that any provision of this Agreement is determined by any court of competent jurisdiction to be
unenforceable by reason of its extending for too great a period of time, over too large a geographic area, over too great a range of activities, it will be interpreted to extend only over the maximum period of time, geographic area or range of
activities as to which it may be enforceable. 

  
 -17- 

 (d)    If, after application of paragraph (c) above, any provision
of this Agreement will be determined to be invalid, illegal or otherwise unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the other provisions of this Agreement will not be affected thereby. Any
invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision of this Agreement will be severed, and after any such severance, all other provisions hereof will remain in full force and effect. 

(e)    SOHU and I agree that either of us may waive or fail to enforce violations of any part of this Agreement without
waiving the right in the future to insist on strict compliance with all or parts of this Agreement. 
 (f)    My
obligations under this Agreement will survive the termination of my employment with SOHU regardless of the manner of or reasons for such termination, and regardless of whether such termination constitutes a breach of any other agreement I may have
with SOHU. My obligations under this Agreement will be binding upon my heirs, executors and administrators, and the provisions of this Agreement will inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of SOHU. 

(g)    I agree and acknowledge that the rights and obligations set forth in this Agreement are of a unique and special
nature and necessary to ensure the preservation, protection and continuity of SOHU’s business, employees, Confidential Information, and intellectual property rights. Accordingly, SOHU is without an adequate legal remedy in the event of my
violation of any of the covenants set forth in this Agreement. I agree, therefore, that, in addition to all other rights and remedies, at law or in equity or otherwise, that may be available to SOHU, each of the covenants made by me under this
Agreement shall be enforceable by injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief, without any requirement that SOHU have to post a bond or that SOHU have to prove any damages.

If at any time prior to the expiration of the Property Approval Period, the Title Company receives a notice from Purchaser that Purchaser has exercised its termination right under Section 5.4, the Title Company, within three (3) Business Days after the receipt of such notice or after the Contingency Date, as applicable, will deliver the Earnest Money Deposit to Purchaser without any notice to, or consent of, Seller being required.  If at any time, except as provided in the preceding sentence, the Title Company receives a certificate of either Seller or of Purchaser (for purposes of this Section 4.6, the “Certifying Party”) stating that: (a) the Certifying Party is entitled to receive the Earnest Money Deposit pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and (b) a copy of the certificate was delivered as provided herein to the other party (for purposes of this Section 4.6, the “Other Party”) prior to or contemporaneously with the giving of such certificate to the Title Company, then, the Title Company shall notify the Other Party in writing of the Title Company’s receipt of such certificate. Unless the Title Company has then previously received, or receives within three (3) Business Days after such written notification to the Other Party of the Title Company’s receipt of the Certifying Party’s certificate, contrary instructions from the Other Party, the Title Company, within one (1) Business Day after the expiration of the foregoing three (3) Business Day period, will deliver the Earnest Money Deposit to the Certifying Party, and thereupon the Title Company will be discharged and released from any and all liability hereunder. If the Title Company receives contrary instructions from the Other Party within three (3) Business Days following such written notification to the Other Party of the Title Company’s receipt of said certificate, the Title Company will not so deliver the Earnest Money Deposit, but will continue to hold the same pursuant hereto, subject to Section 4.7.

If this Agreement or any matter relating hereto (other than the PTR or the Title Policy) becomes the subject of any litigation or controversy, Purchaser and Seller jointly and severally will hold the Title Company free and harmless from any loss or expense, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, that may be suffered by it by reason thereof other than as a result of the Title Company’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.  In the event conflicting demands are made or notices served upon the Title Company with respect to this Agreement, or if there is uncertainty as to the meaning or applicability of the terms of this Agreement or the Escrow Instructions, Purchaser and Seller expressly agree that the Title Company will be entitled to file a suit in interpleader and to obtain an order from the court requiring Purchaser and Seller to interplead and litigate their several claims and rights among themselves. Upon the filing of the action in interpleader and the deposit of the Earnest Money Deposit into the registry of the court, the Title Company will be fully released and discharged from any further obligations imposed upon it by this Agreement after such deposit.
Section 4.8    Maintenance of Confidentiality by Title Company. Except as may otherwise be required by law or by this Agreement, the Title Company will maintain in strict confidence and not disclose to anyone the existence of this Agreement, the identity of the parties hereto, the amount of the Purchase Price, the provisions of this Agreement or any other information concerning the transactions contemplated hereby, without the prior written consent of Purchaser and Seller in each instance.

The investment of the Earnest Money Deposit will be at the sole risk of Purchaser and no loss on any investment will relieve Purchaser of its obligations to pay to Seller as liquidated damages the original amount of the Earnest Money Deposit as provided in Article XIII, or of its obligation to pay the Purchase Price.

verifying such coverage and Seller and its property manager (Hines Interests Limited Partnership) being named as an additional insured on such coverage prior to entry upon the Property; (ii) promptly pay when due the costs of all inspections, entries, samplings and tests conducted by Purchaser and/or any Licensee Parties and examinations done with regard to the Property; and (iii) promptly restore the Property to its condition as existed immediately prior to any such inspection, investigations, examinations, entries, samplings and tests, but in no event later than ten (10) days after the damage occurs.  
(b)    Purchaser hereby indemnifies, defends and holds Seller and all of its members, partners, agents, officers, directors, employees, successors, assigns and Affiliates harmless from and against any and all liens, claims, causes of action, damages, liabilities, demands, suits, and obligations, together with all losses, penalties, actual out-of-pocket 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, entries, samplings or tests conducted by Purchaser or any Licensee Party, whether prior to or after the date hereof, with respect to the Property or any violation of the provisions of Section 5.2 and/or this Section 5.3; provided that the foregoing indemnity shall not apply to any claims, damages or other costs arising (i) from Seller’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct, or (ii) by virtue of the mere discovery of any pre-existing condition at the Property in connection with any inspections, investigations, examinations, entries, samplings or tests conducted by Purchaser or any Licensee Party, but only to the extent such parties do not exacerbate such pre-existing condition.
(c)    Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Inspection Agreement shall not be merged into this Agreement at Closing or otherwise.

Between the Effective Date and 5:00 p.m. (Central Time) on the Contingency Date (the “Property Approval Period”), and through the Closing Date, Purchaser shall have the right to review and investigate the Property and the items set forth in Sections 5.1 and 5.2 above (collectively, the “Due Diligence Items”). Purchaser, in Purchaser’s sole and absolute discretion, may determine whether or not the Property is acceptable to Purchaser within the Property Approval Period. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, (i) except for environmental Due Diligence Items, Purchaser has approved the Property in all respects, and (ii) Purchaser may terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 5.4 solely as a result of its review of environmental Due Diligence Items by giving concurrent written notice of termination to Seller and the Title Company on or before the expiration of the Property Approval Period (an “Environmental Termination Notice”). If Purchaser does not give an Environmental Termination Notice, this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect.

ARTICLE VI     
TITLE AND SURVEY MATTERS

Section 6.1    Survey. On or prior to the Effective Date, Seller has delivered to Purchaser, at Seller’s cost, a copy of that certain survey dated August 9, 2018 and prepared by JRN Civil Engineers with respect to the Real Property (the “Survey”).  Seller shall have no obligation to obtain any modification, update, or recertification of the Survey. Any such modification, update or recertification of the Survey may be obtained by Purchaser at its sole cost and expense.
Section 6.2    Title and Survey Review.
(a)    Prior to the Effective Date, Seller has caused the Title Company to furnish or otherwise make available to Purchaser a preliminary title commitment for the Real Property dated with an effective date of July 9, 2018 (the “PTR”), and copies of all underlying title documents described in the PTR.  Purchaser shall have until September 14, 2018 (the “Title Notice Date”) to provide written notice (the “Title Notice”) to Seller and the Title Company of any matters shown on the PTR and/or the Survey which are not satisfactory to Purchaser.  If Seller has not received a Title Notice from Purchaser by the Title Notice Date, Purchaser shall be deemed to have unconditionally approved of the condition of title to the Property and the Survey, subject to Seller’s obligations set forth in Section 6.2(c) below. Except as expressly provided in Section 6.2(c) of this Agreement, Seller shall have no obligation whatsoever to expend or agree to expend any funds, to undertake or agree to undertake any obligations, or otherwise to cure or agree to cure any title objections. To the extent Purchaser timely delivers a Title Notice, then Seller shall deliver, no later than September 17, 2018, written notice to Purchaser and the Title Company identifying which disapproved items, if any, Seller shall undertake to cure (by either having the same removed or by obtaining affirmative insurance over the same as part of the final Title Policy and in a manner reasonably acceptable to Purchaser) (“Seller’s Response”). If Seller does not deliver Seller’s Response prior to such date, Seller shall be deemed to have elected to not remove or otherwise cure any exceptions disapproved by Purchaser. Purchaser shall be deemed to have waived all objections to the PTR and the Survey (whereupon such objections shall be deemed Permitted Exceptions for all purposes hereof, except that in no event shall Purchaser ever be deemed to waive any Must-Cure Matters), except for any objections related to environmental Due Diligence Items and any items Seller has undertaken to cure pursuant to Seller’s Response (if any). If Seller and the Title Company have not received an Environmental Termination Notice from Purchaser by the Contingency Date, Purchaser shall be deemed to have waived all objections with respect to environmental Due Diligence Items to the PTR and the Survey, except that in no event shall Purchaser ever be deemed to waive any Must-Cure Matters.  
(b)    After the Contingency Date and prior to Closing, Purchaser may notify Seller in writing (the “Gap Notice”) of any objections to title (i) raised by the Title Company between the Contingency Date and the Closing, (ii) not disclosed in writing by the Title Company to Purchaser prior to the Contingency Date, (iii) not disclosed in writing by Seller to Purchaser and the Title Company prior to the Contingency Date, and (iv) that constitute Material Title Matters (“New Exceptions”); provided that Purchaser must notify Seller of any objection to any such New Exception within two (2) Business Days after being made aware of the existence of such New Exception. If Purchaser fails to deliver to Seller 

a notice of objections on or before such date, Purchaser will be deemed to have waived any objection to the New Exceptions, and the New Exceptions will be included as Permitted Exceptions. Seller will have two (2) Business Days from the receipt of Purchaser’s notice (and, if necessary, Seller may extend the Closing Date to provide for such two (2) Business Day period and for two (2) Business Days following such period for Purchaser’s response), within which time Seller may, but is under no obligation to, remove or otherwise obtain affirmative insurance over the objectionable New Exceptions, or commit to remove or otherwise obtain affirmative insurance over the same at or prior to Closing.  If, within the two (2) Business Day period, Seller does not remove or otherwise obtain affirmative insurance over the objectionable New Exceptions, then Purchaser may terminate this Agreement upon delivering a notice to Seller terminating this Agreement on or before the date two (2) Business Days following expiration of the two (2) Business Day cure period, in which case Purchaser shall be entitled to return of the Earnest Money Deposit. If Purchaser fails to terminate this Agreement in the manner set forth above, the New Exceptions (except those Seller has removed or otherwise affirmatively insured over, or committed to do the same as set forth above) will be included as Permitted Exceptions. If this Agreement is terminated by Purchaser pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.2(b), then neither Purchaser nor Seller shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder (except for the Termination Surviving Obligations) and the Independent Consideration shall be paid to Seller.
(c)    Notwithstanding any provision of this Section 6.2 to the contrary, Seller will be obligated to cure (or cause deletion from the Title Policy or provide affirmative title insurance over) exceptions to title to the Property listed on Exhibit K attached hereto (collectively, the “Must-Cure Matters”).
Section 6.3    Title Insurance.  It shall be a condition to Purchaser’s obligation to close that the Title Company issue to Purchaser an ALTA extended coverage Owner’s Policy of Title Insurance (the “Title Policy”) for the Property with liability in the amount of the Non-Contingent Purchase Price, showing title to the Property vested in Purchaser, with such endorsements as Purchaser shall request and the Title Company shall have agreed to issue prior to the Contingency Date, subject only to: (i) the pre-printed standard exceptions in the Title Policy, (ii) exceptions approved or deemed approved by Purchaser pursuant to Section 6.2 above, (iii) the Tenant Leases, (iv) any taxes and assessments for the year of Closing and for any other year if not yet due and payable as of the Closing, (v) any liens or claims of liens for work, service, labor or materials performed or supplied by, for or on behalf of any Tenant, (vi) all matters shown on the Survey, or any updates thereto, (vii) any matters which have been removed or affirmatively insured over, and (viii) any exceptions arising from Purchaser’s actions (collectively, the “Permitted Exceptions”). In the event Purchaser elects not to pay for any additional premium for the ALTA extended coverage policy, as the case may be, then the Title Policy to be issued as of the Closing shall be a standard ALTA Owner’s Policy of Title Insurance which shall include, among other things, a general survey exception. It is understood that Purchaser may request any number of endorsements to the Title Policy, but the issuance of any such endorsements shall not be a condition to Closing.  

ARTICLE VII     
INTERIM OPERATING COVENANTS AND ESTOPPELS
Section 7.1    Interim Operating Covenants.  Seller covenants to Purchaser that during the Interim Period, Seller will:
(a)    Operations. 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 Article IX.
(b)    Maintain Insurance. Maintain its current insurance or insurance equivalent on the Improvements which is at least equivalent in all material respects to Seller’s insurance policies covering the Improvements as of the Effective Date.
(c)    Personal Property. Not transfer or remove any Personal Property from the Improvements except for the purpose of repair or replacement thereof. Any items of Personal Property replaced after the Effective Date will be installed prior to Closing and will be of substantially similar quality of the item of Personal Property being replaced.
(d)    Leases. Not enter into any new Tenant Lease or any amendments, expansions or renewals of Tenant Leases, or terminate any Tenant Lease, without the prior written consent of Purchaser, which consent will (i) not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned prior to the Contingency Date, and (ii) be in Purchaser’s sole discretion on and after the Contingency Date. Furthermore, nothing herein shall be deemed to require Purchaser’s consent to any expansion or renewal of a Tenant Lease which Seller, as landlord, is required to honor pursuant to any Tenant Lease. From and after the Effective Date and through the Closing Date, Seller agrees to provide copies to Purchaser of all material communications (including copies of leasing proposals and drafts of leases) with existing or new prospective Tenants concerning any and all leasing-related negotiations and/or decisions.
(e)    Service Contracts. Not enter into, or renew the term of, any service contract, unless such service contract is terminable on thirty (30) days (or less) prior notice without penalty or unless Purchaser consents thereto in writing, which approval will (i) not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned prior to the Contingency Date, and (ii) be in Purchaser’s sole discretion on and after the Contingency Date.  
(f)    Notices.  To the extent received by Seller, promptly deliver to Purchaser copies of written default notices, notices of lawsuits and notices of violations  of Governmental Regulations affecting the Property.
(g)    Encumbrances. Without Purchaser’s prior approval in its sole discretion, not voluntarily subject the Property to any additional liens, encumbrances, covenants or easements, which would not constitute Permitted Exceptions, unless released prior to Closing.

(h)    No Marketing of Property. Not market or offer the Property for sale or make, accept, negotiate, or otherwise pursue any offers for the financing, sale, or purchase of the Property.
Whenever in this Section 7.1 Seller is required to obtain Purchaser’s approval with respect to any transaction described therein, Purchaser shall, within three (3) Business Days after receipt of Seller’s request therefor, notify Seller of its approval or disapproval of same and, if Purchaser fails to notify Seller of its approval within said three (3) Business Day period, Purchaser shall be deemed to have approved same.
Section 7.2    Tenant Lease Estoppels.  It will be a condition to Closing that Seller obtain and deliver to Purchaser, from each of the major tenants leasing space in the Improvements listed on Exhibit C-1 (“Major Tenants”) executed Acceptable Estoppel Certificates. “Acceptable Estoppel Certificates” are estoppel certificates in substantially the form of the estoppel certificate attached hereto as Exhibit C-2, which shall not contain any material modifications or inconsistencies with respect to the applicable rent roll and the Tenant Leases and which shall not disclose any alleged material default or unfulfilled material obligation on the part of the landlord not previously disclosed in writing to Purchaser; provided that an estoppel certificate executed by a Tenant in the form prescribed by its Tenant Lease shall constitute an Acceptable Estoppel Certificate if it is otherwise consistent with this Section 7.2 and the factual information contained in the estoppels distributed to such Tenants pursuant to the provisions of this Section 7.2 and provided further that an estoppel certificate that does not include paragraphs 4 and 15 shall be deemed an Acceptable Estoppel Certificate. Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain Acceptable Estoppel Certificates from all Tenants which are not Major Tenants, provided that Purchaser’s receipt of Acceptable Estoppel Certificates from any Tenant which is not a Major Tenant shall not be a condition to Purchaser’s obligation to close the transaction contemplated by this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, in no event shall Seller’s failure to obtain the required number of Acceptable Estoppel Certificates in accordance with this Section 7.2 constitute a default by Seller under this Agreement. Purchaser’s sole and exclusive remedy for a failure to obtain the required number of Acceptable Estoppel Certificates from the Major Tenants shall be to terminate this Agreement and receive a refund of the Earnest Money Deposit. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Seller or Purchaser may elect to extend the Closing Date by the period of time, not to exceed forty-five (45) days, which may be necessary to obtain the required number of Acceptable Estoppel Certificates from each of the Major Tenants. Prior to delivery of the forms of estoppel certificates to the Major Tenants (but not any other Tenants), Seller will deliver to Purchaser completed forms of estoppel certificates, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C-2 or such forms as required by the applicable Major Tenant Lease and containing the information contemplated thereby, for only Major Tenants. Within three (3) Business Days following Purchaser’s receipt thereof, Purchaser will send to Seller notice either (i) approving such forms as completed by Seller or (ii) setting forth in detail all changes to such forms which Purchaser reasonably believes to be appropriate to make the completed forms of estoppel certificates accurate and complete. Seller will make such changes to the extent Seller agrees such changes are appropriate, except that Seller will not be obligated to make any changes which request more expansive information than is contemplated by Exhibit C-2 or the form required by the applicable Major Tenant Lease.  

Purchaser’s failure to respond within such three (3) Business Day period shall be deemed approval of such estoppel certificate.  
Section 7.3    OFAC.  Pursuant to United States Presidential Executive Order 13224 (“Executive Order”), Seller is required to ensure that it does not transact business with persons or entities determined to have committed, or to pose a risk of committing or supporting, terrorist acts and those persons (i) described in Section 1 of the Executive Order or (ii) listed in the “Alphabetical Listing of Blocked Persons, Specially Designated Nationals, Specially Designated Terrorists, Specially Designated Global Terrorists, Foreign Terrorist Organizations, and Specially Designated Narcotics Traffickers” published by the United States Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”), 31 C.F.R. Chapter V, Appendix A, as in effect from time to time (as to (i) and (ii), a “Blocked Person”).  If Seller learns that Purchaser is, becomes, or appears to be a Blocked Person, Seller may delay the sale contemplated by this Agreement pending Seller’s conclusion of its investigation into the matter of Purchaser’s status as a Blocked Person. If Seller determines that Purchaser is or becomes a Blocked Person, Seller shall have the right to immediately terminate this Agreement and take all other actions necessary, or in the opinion of Seller, appropriate to comply with applicable law and Purchaser shall receive a return of the Earnest Money Deposit.
Section 7.4    Declaration and CCR Estoppels.  The Real Property may be subject to reciprocal easement agreements, covenants and other similar agreements. Seller will cooperate with Purchaser to obtain estoppel certificates (“REA and CCR Estoppels”) from the parties (other than Seller and other than any Authority) to any such agreements requested by Purchaser, provided that obtaining any REA and CCR Estoppels shall not be a condition to Purchaser’s obligation to Close, and the failure to obtain any such REA and CCR Estoppels shall not be a default by Seller hereunder. 
Section 7.5

ARTICLE VIII     
CONDEMNATION AND CASUALTY
Section 8.1    Significant Casualty.  If, prior to the Closing Date, all or any portion of the Property is destroyed or damaged by fire or other casualty, Seller will notify Purchaser of such casualty. Purchaser will have the option, in the event all or any Significant Portion of the Property is so destroyed or damaged, to terminate this Agreement in its entirety upon notice to Seller given 

not later than ten (10) Business Days after receipt of Seller’s notice. If this Agreement is terminated, the Earnest Money Deposit will be returned to Purchaser upon Purchaser’s compliance with Section 4.6 and thereafter neither Seller nor Purchaser will have any further rights or obligations to the other hereunder except with respect to the Termination Surviving Obligations. If Purchaser does not elect to terminate this Agreement, Seller will not be obligated to repair such damage or destruction, but (a) Seller will assign and turn over to Purchaser all of the insurance proceeds net of 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 (excluding any proceeds of insurance that are payable on account of any business interruption, rental insurance or similar coverage intended to compensate Seller for loss of rental or other income from the Property attributable to periods prior to the Closing), and (b) the parties will proceed to Closing pursuant to the terms hereof without abatement of the Non-Contingent Purchase Price, except that Purchaser will receive a credit against cash due at Closing for the amount of the deductible on such insurance policy less any amounts expended by Seller to collect any such insurance proceeds or to make such repairs or to remedy any unsafe conditions at the Property (other than repairs which are the responsibility of Tenants under Tenant Leases) as reasonably estimated by Seller.
Section 8.2    Casualty of Less Than a Significant Portion.  If less than a Significant Portion of the Property and the Improvements thereon are damaged as aforesaid, Purchaser shall not have the right to terminate this Agreement and Seller will not be obligated to repair such damage or destruction, but (a) Seller will assign and turn over to Purchaser all of the insurance proceeds net of 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 (excluding any proceeds of insurance that are payable on account of any business interruption, rental insurance or similar coverage intended to compensate Seller for loss of rental or other income from the Property attributable to periods prior to the Closing), and (b) the parties will proceed to Closing pursuant to the terms hereof without abatement of the Non-Contingent Purchase Price, except that Purchaser will receive a credit against cash due at Closing for the amount of the deductible on such insurance policy plus the amount of any uninsured loss up to the amount of $1,000,000, less any amounts expended by Seller to collect any such insurance proceeds or to make such repairs or to remedy any unsafe conditions at the Property (other than repairs which are the responsibility of Tenants under Tenant Leases) as reasonably estimated by Seller. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, if any such uninsured loss exceeds $1,250,000, then Purchaser shall have the right to terminate this Agreement unless Seller agrees  to give Purchaser a credit at Closing for such uninsured loss in excess of $1,250,000, which Seller may do in its sole discretion. Upon any such termination, the Earnest Money Deposit will be returned to Purchaser and thereupon neither party shall have any further obligations under this Agreement, except for the Termination Surviving Obligations as applicable to such party.
Section 8.3    Condemnation of Property. If any condemnation proceedings are instituted, or written notice of intent to condemn is given, with respect to all or any portion of the Property, Seller shall promptly, upon obtaining knowledge thereof, notify Purchaser thereof (a “Taking Notice”).  If the condemnation will not result in the taking of a Significant Portion of the Property, the parties shall proceed to Closing, in which event Seller shall assign or pay to Purchaser at Closing all of Seller’s right, title, and interest in any award payable on account of the condemnation and/or pay to Purchaser all such awards previously paid, less any sums reasonably 

expended by Seller prior to the Closing for the restoration or repair of the Property or in negotiating or collecting such condemnation awards. In the event that such condemnation will result in taking of all or any Significant Portion of the Property, Purchaser shall have the option, which shall be exercised by written notice to Seller within ten (10) Business Days after its receipt of the Taking Notice, either (i) to terminate this Agreement in its entirety in which event the Earnest Money Deposit will be returned to Purchaser upon Purchaser’s compliance with Section 4.6 and the parties shall have no further rights or obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Property (except for the Termination Surviving Obligations), or (ii) to consummate the purchase of the Property without a reduction of the Non-Contingent Purchase Price, in which event Seller shall assign or pay to Purchaser at Closing all of Seller’s right, title, and interest in any award payable on account of the condemnation proceeding and/or pay to Purchaser all such awards previously paid, less any sums reasonably expended by Seller prior to the Closing for the restoration or repair of the Property or in negotiating or collecting such condemnation awards.  Failure of Purchaser to give notice of Purchaser’s election within such ten (10) Business Day period shall be deemed an election by Purchaser to consummate the purchase pursuant to subsection (ii) above.
ARTICLE IX

With respect to those Tenant Leases for which Seller or its lender are holding letters of credit as security deposits, there shall not be any credit to, or adjustment in, the Non-Contingent Purchase Price, and Seller shall deliver such original letters of credit to Purchaser at Closing, together with all necessary executed original transfer documentation, so that Purchaser and the applicable Tenants can arrange to have the letters of credit reissued in favor of, or endorsed to, Purchaser.  Seller agrees to cooperate with Purchaser post-Closing in connection with the reissuance or endorsement of any letters of credit and act at the reasonable discretion of Purchaser with respect thereto, until the letters of credit are re-issued or endorsed to Purchaser, provided Purchaser shall pay all transfer and/or other fees relating to such transfers of letters of credit unless the same shall be the responsibility of the applicable Tenant;

Section 9.4    Prorations.
(a)    Seller and Purchaser agree to adjust, as of 11:59 p.m. on the day immediately preceding the Closing Date (the “Closing Time”), the following (collectively, the “Proration Items”): real estate and personal property taxes and assessments for the year in which Closing occurs, utility bills (except as hereinafter provided), collected Rentals (subject to the terms of (b) below) and operating expenses payable by the owner of the Property (on the basis of a 365 day year, actual days elapsed). Seller will be charged and credited for the amounts of all of the Proration Items relating to the period up to and including the Closing Time, and Purchaser will be charged and credited for all of the Proration Items relating to the period after the Closing Time.  Such preliminary estimated Closing prorations shall be set forth on a preliminary closing statement to be prepared by Seller and submitted to Purchaser for Purchaser’s approval (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) two (2) days prior to the Closing Date (the “Closing Statement”). The Closing Statement, once agreed upon, shall be signed by Purchaser and Seller and delivered to the Title Company for purposes of making the preliminary proration adjustment at Closing subject to the final cash settlement provided for below.  The preliminary proration shall be paid at Closing by Purchaser to Seller (if the preliminary prorations result in a net credit to Seller) or by Seller to Purchaser (if the preliminary prorations result in a net credit to Purchaser) by increasing 

or reducing the cash to be delivered by Purchaser in payment of the Non-Contingent Purchase Price at the Closing.  If the actual amounts of the Proration Items are not known as of the Closing Time, 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 Purchaser.  No prorations will be made in relation to insurance premiums (except to the extent covered by the proration of Operating Expense Recoveries), and Seller’s insurance policies will not be assigned to Purchaser.  Final readings and final billings for utilities will be made if possible as of the Closing Time, in which event no proration will be made at the Closing with respect to utility bills (except to the extent covered by the proration of Operating Expense Recoveries). Seller will be entitled to all deposits presently in effect with the utility providers, and Purchaser will be obligated to make its own arrangements for deposits with the utility providers. A final reconciliation of Proration Items shall be made by Purchaser and Seller on or before the last day of the Survival Period (herein, the “Final Proration Date”). The provisions of this Section 10.4 (excluding subsection (e) which is governed by Section 3.2 above), will survive the Closing until the Final Proration Date, and in the event any items subject to proration hereunder are discovered prior to the Final Proration Date, the same shall be promptly prorated by the parties in accordance with the terms of this Section 10.4.
(b)    Purchaser will receive a credit on the Closing Statement for the prorated amount (as of the Closing Time) of all Rentals previously paid to and collected by Seller and attributable to any period following the Closing Time. After the Closing, Seller will cause to be paid or turned over to Purchaser all Rentals, if any, received by Seller after Closing and properly attributable to any period following the Closing Time.  “Rentals” includes fixed monthly rentals, parking rentals and charges, additional rentals, percentage rentals, escalation rentals (which include such Tenant’s proportionate share of building operation and maintenance costs and expenses as provided for under the applicable Tenant Lease, to the extent the same exceeds any expense stop specified in such Tenant Lease), retroactive rentals, 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 to Seller under the Tenant Lease or from other occupants or users of the Property, excluding specific tenant billings which are governed by Section 10.4(d).  Rentals are “Delinquent” if they were due prior to the Closing Time and payment thereof has not been made on or before the Closing Time. Delinquent Rentals will not be prorated. Until the end of the Survival Period, Purchaser agrees to use good faith collection procedures with respect to the collection of any Delinquent Rentals, but Purchaser will have no liability for the failure to collect any such amounts and will not be required to conduct lock-outs or take any other legal action to enforce collection of any such amounts owed to Seller by Tenants of the Property.  Seller shall have the right to pursue Delinquent Rentals after Closing as more specifically set forth below. With respect to any Delinquent Rentals received by Purchaser within the Survival Period, Purchaser shall pay to Seller any rent or payment actually collected during the Survival Period properly attributable to the period prior to the Closing Time.  All sums collected by Purchaser during the Survival Period from such Tenant (excluding Tenant payments for Operating Expense 

Recoveries attributable to the period prior to the Closing Time and tenant specific billings for tenant work orders and other specific services as described in and governed by Section 10.4(d) below, all of which shall be payable to and belong to Seller in all events, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary) will be applied first to amounts currently owed by such Tenant to Purchaser (including Delinquent Rentals attributable to the period after the Closing Time), then any collection costs of Purchaser related to such Tenant, and then to prior delinquencies owed by Tenant to Seller.  Seller shall be entitled to institute legal actions to pursue Delinquent Rental after Closing, but in no event shall Seller be permitted to institute eviction proceedings against any Tenant.  Any sums collected by Purchaser and due to Seller will be promptly remitted to Seller, and any sums collected by Seller and due to Purchaser will be promptly remitted to Purchaser.
(c)    Seller will prepare a reconciliation as of the Closing Time of the amounts of all billings and charges for operating expenses and taxes (collectively, “Operating Expense Recoveries”) for calendar year 2018. If less amounts have been collected from Tenants for Operating Expense Recoveries for calendar year 2018 than would have been owed by Tenants under the Tenant Leases if the reconciliations under such Tenant Leases were completed as of the Closing Time based on the operating expenses incurred by Seller for calendar year 2018 up to the Closing Time (as prorated pursuant to Section 10.4(a) above), Purchaser will pay such difference to Seller on or before the Final Proration Date. If more amounts have been collected from Tenants for Operating Expense Recoveries for calendar year 2018 than would have been owed by Tenants under the Tenant Leases if the reconciliations under the Tenant Leases were completed as of the Closing Time based on the operating expenses incurred by Seller for calendar year 2018 up to the Closing Time (as prorated pursuant to Section 10.4(a) above), Seller will pay to Purchaser such excess collected amount on or before the Final Proration Date. Purchaser and Seller agree that such proration of Operating Expense Recoveries at Closing for calendar year 2018 (and payment of any excess collected amount on or before the Final Proration Date) will fully relieve Seller from any responsibility to Tenants or Purchaser for such matters subject to Seller’s and Purchaser’s right and obligation to finalize prorations prior to the Final Proration Date, solely to make adjustments necessary to the extent estimates used in the calculation of such reconciliation at Closing differ from actual bills received after Closing for those items covered by such reconciliation at Closing or to correct any errors.  In this regard, subject to Section 10.4(b) dealing with Delinquent Rentals, the foregoing proration will fully relieve Seller from any responsibility to Tenants or Purchaser for such matters and Purchaser will be solely responsible, from and after Closing, for (i) collecting from Tenants the amount of any outstanding Operating Expense Recoveries for calendar year 2018 for periods before and after Closing, and (ii) reimbursing Tenants for amounts attributable to Operating Expense Recoveries for calendar year 2018, as may be necessary based on annual reconciliations for Operating Expense Recoveries for such calendar year.
(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 Purchaser or Seller after the Closing Time but expressly state they are for such specific services rendered by Seller or its property manager prior to the Closing Time, Purchaser 

shall cause such collected amounts to be paid to Seller, or Seller may retain such payment if such payment is received by Seller after the Closing Time.
(e)    (i) Seller shall pay those Leasing Costs incurred in connection with any Tenant Lease space in the Property, or any amendment or supplement thereto, entered into prior to the Effective Date, but only to the extent identified on Exhibit G-1 attached hereto to the extent unpaid as of the Closing Date (“Seller Leasing Costs”), but expressly excluding the Leasing Costs described in Exhibit G-2 attached hereto; (ii) Purchaser will be solely responsible for and shall pay all Leasing Costs (“New Tenant Costs”) incurred or to be incurred in connection with any new Tenant Lease, or the renewal, expansion, or modification of any Tenant Lease executed on or after the Effective Date (the terms of which have been approved, if applicable, by Purchaser in accordance with Section 7.1(d)) plus the Leasing Costs identified on Exhibit G-2 (“Purchaser Leasing Costs”); (iii) to the extent Seller Leasing Costs described in clause (i) above remain unpaid as of Closing, Purchaser shall receive a credit from Seller therefor at Closing and Purchaser shall be responsible after Closing for paying any Leasing Costs for which Purchaser received such a credit; (iv) to the extent Purchaser Leasing Costs described in clause (ii) above have been paid by Seller, Seller shall receive a credit from Purchaser therefor at Closing; and (v) Purchaser will be solely responsible for and shall pay all New Tenant Costs and all other Leasing Costs (whether arising before or after Closing).   
Section 9.5    Delivery of Real Property.  Upon completion of the Closing, Seller will deliver to Purchaser possession of the Real Property and Improvements, subject to the Tenant Leases and the Permitted Exceptions.
Section 9.6    Costs of Title Company and Closing Costs.  Costs of the Title Company and other Closing costs incurred in connection with the Closing will be allocated as follows: 
(a)    Purchaser will pay (i) except as provided in Section 10.6(b)(i) below, all premium costs for obtaining the Title Policy, (ii) all premiums and other costs for any mortgagee policy of title insurance, including but not limited to any endorsements or deletions, (iii) Purchaser’s attorney’s fees, (iv) 1/2 of all of the Title Company’s escrow and closing fees, if any, (v) the costs of any update, modification, or recertification of the Survey, and (vi) any mortgage recording tax or recording fees. 
(b)    Seller will pay (i) the premium attributable to the ALTA Standard Coverage portion of the Title Policy, (ii) the cost of the Survey, (iii) 1/2 of all of the Title Company’s escrow and closing fees, (iv) Seller’s attorneys’ fees, (v) all transfer, documentary and recording fees and/or charges imposed by any governmental entities with respect to the transaction contemplated by this Agreement, and (v) prepayment penalties or premiums incurred by Seller with respect to prepaying the Property’s existing mortgage indebtedness at Closing (if any).
(c)    Any other costs and expenses of Closing not provided for in this Section 10.6 shall be allocated between Purchaser and Seller in accordance with the custom in the county in which the Real Property is located.

(d)    If the Closing does not occur on or before the Closing Date for any reason whatsoever, the costs incurred through the date of termination will be borne by the party incurring same.
Section 9.7    Post Closing Delivery of Notice Letters.  
(a)    Seller shall prepare a written notice to each Tenant, to be executed by Purchaser and Seller (i) acknowledging the sale of the Property to Purchaser, (ii) acknowledging that Purchaser has received and is responsible for the Tenant Deposits (specifying the exact amount of the Tenant Deposits) and (iii) indicating that rent should thereafter be paid to Purchaser and giving instructions therefor (the “Tenant Notice Letters”). The Tenant Notice Letters shall be executed in counterparts and deposited in escrow with the title company by Seller and Purchaser on or before the Deposit Time as provided in Section 10.2(c) and Section 10.3(c), respectively. Purchaser will deliver to each Tenant (via messenger or certified mail, return receipt requested) such written notice promptly after the Closing. Purchaser shall provide to Seller a copy of each Tenant Notice Letter promptly after delivery of same, and proof of delivery of same promptly after such proof is available.
(b)    Purchaser shall prepare a written notice to each vendor under each Service Contract assumed by Purchaser at Closing, to be executed by Purchaser and Seller (i) acknowledging the sale of the Property to Purchaser, and (ii) indicating that invoices should thereafter be sent to Purchaser and giving instructions therefor (the “Vendor Notice Letters”). Seller shall provide Purchaser with any information reasonably required for the preparation of the Vendor Notice Letters. The Vendor Notice Letters shall be executed in counterparts and deposited in escrow with the title company by Seller and Purchaser on or before the Deposit Time as provided in Section 10.2(c) and Section 10.3(c), respectively. Purchaser will deliver to each Vendor under each assumed Service Contract (via messenger or certified mail, return receipt requested) such written notice promptly after the Closing. Purchaser shall provide to Seller a copy of each Vendor Notice Letter promptly after delivery of same, and proof of delivery of same promptly after such proof is available.
(c)    Immediately following Closing, Seller shall prepare a written notice executed by Purchaser and Seller to each party required to receive notice under any REAs, covenants and CC&Rs (via messenger or certified mail, return receipt requested) (i) acknowledging the sale of the Property to Purchaser, and (ii) acknowledging that Purchaser has assumed Seller’s obligations under the operative document (the “REA Notice Letters”).  Purchaser will deliver each REA Notice Letter promptly after the receipt of same from Seller. Purchaser shall provide to Seller a copy of each REA Notice Letter promptly after delivery of same, and proof of delivery of same promptly after such proof is available.
Section 9.8    General Conditions Precedent to Purchaser’s Obligations Regarding the Closing.  The obligation of Purchaser to close the transaction hereunder shall be conditioned upon the satisfaction of the following conditions, any of which may be waived by written notice from Purchaser to Seller:

(a)    Seller shall have performed or complied in all material respects with all of the obligations of Seller set forth in Section 10.3 as of the Closing Date;
(b)    The Title Company shall be irrevocably committed to issue the Title Policy as provided in Section 6.3;
(c)    Purchaser shall have received the Acceptable Estoppel Certificates from each of the Major Tenants to the extent required under Section 7.2; and
(d)    Subject to Section 10.9, each of the representations and warranties of Seller contained in this Agreement shall be true and correct (determined without regard to any qualification by any of the terms “material” therein) as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date as though made on and as of the Closing Date (except to the extent a representation or warranty is made as of a specific date, in which case such representation or warranty shall be true and correct at and as of such date, without regard to any such qualifications therein), except with respect to Authorized Qualifications and Immaterial Events.
The term “Authorized Qualifications” shall mean any qualifications to the representations and warranties made by Seller in Section 8.1 to reflect (i) new Tenant Leases, Tenant Lease amendments, new Service Contracts, and/or Service Contract amendments, executed by Seller in accordance with this Agreement, (ii) any action taken by Seller in accordance with any Tenant Leases, Service Contracts, or Permitted Exceptions not prohibited by this Agreement, and (iii) a Tenant Lease default or a Tenant insolvency occurring after the Effective Date. The term “Immaterial Events” shall mean facts or events, including, without limitation, the receipt by Seller of a written notice of violation of a Governmental Regulation, that do not result in a loss of value, damage, claim or expense in excess of $250,000. Authorized Qualifications and Immaterial Events shall not constitute a default by Seller or a failure of a condition precedent to Closing.  
Section 9.9    Breaches of Seller’s Representations Prior to Closing.  
(a)    If, prior to the Closing, there occurs or exists a breach of a representation or warranty of Seller that in the aggregate with all other such breaches has the effect of constituting Authorized Qualifications and/or Immaterial Events, then Purchaser shall have no remedy therefor and must proceed to the Closing with no adjustment of the Non-Contingent Purchase Price and Seller shall have no liability therefor. If, prior to the Closing, a breach (which is not the result of an Authorized Qualification or an Immaterial Event) occurs for which the damage from all Claims for such breaches is or may reasonably be expected to be greater than $250,000 (“Material Breach”), then Purchaser may, as its sole and exclusive remedy, upon the delivery of written notice of such breach to Seller either (i) proceed to close the purchase of the Property without adjustment of the Non-Contingent Purchase Price on account of such asserted breach (and with no liability to Seller) and waive any claims against Seller for such Claims with respect to such breach or (ii) terminate this Agreement by the giving of the written notice to Seller of same, in which event this Agreement will terminate as of the expiration of the Termination Nullification Period if Seller doesn’t deliver a Termination Nullification Notice, in which case the Earnest Money 

Deposit shall be returned to Purchaser, provided, if Purchaser does not exercise its right to terminate this Agreement on or before the earlier of (1) Closing or (2) the date that is five (5) Business Days after Purchaser becomes aware of such facts or events, then Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected to waive the condition and proceed to Closing.
(b)    Notwithstanding Section 10.9(a), if Purchaser has elected to terminate this Agreement, Seller may nullify such termination within ten (10) Business Days after receipt by Seller of such notice from Purchaser (or the earlier of the Closing Date) electing to terminate this Agreement (the “Termination Nullification Period”) by (x) delivering to Purchaser a notice nullifying such termination (a “Termination Nullification Notice”) and (y) either (1) crediting the Non-Contingent Purchase Price in the amount of the alleged Claims (the “Material Breach Credit”), in which event Purchaser shall be required to purchase the Property without further adjustment to the Non-Contingent Purchase Price under this Section 10.9 or (2) if Seller disputes that Purchaser is entitled to terminate this Agreement under this Section 10.9 because Seller asserts that either (I) no such breach has occurred or exists, (II) the asserted breach is not a Material Breach and/or (III) the amount of the alleged Claims exceeds the diminution in the value of the Property or other loss, damage, cost or expense directly resulting from such breach (a “Claim Dispute”), Seller may deliver a Claims Dispute Notice (as defined below) and deposit with Title Company upon Closing as described in Section 10.9(c) below, an amount equal to the Material Breach Credit, in which event Purchaser shall be required to close the purchase of the Property without further adjustment of the Non-Contingent Purchase Price, and such dispute shall be resolved after Closing pursuant to Section 10.9(d) below.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall not have the right to give a Termination Nullification Notice if the total amount of all alleged Claims exceed $3,000,000 (in Purchaser’s good faith and reasonable estimate). 
(c)    If, prior to the Closing, Purchaser serves a notice of a Claim asserting a Material Breach and Seller has given a Termination Nullification Notice in accordance with Section 10.9(b), Seller may dispute such notice of a Claim by delivering written notice to Purchaser in the manner herein provided (a “Claim Dispute Notice”).  A Claim Dispute Notice shall be given at or prior to the Closing.  If Seller has given a Termination Nullification Notice but does not deliver a Claim Dispute Notice, then the parties shall proceed with the Closing as described in Section 10.9(b) and the Non-Contingent Purchase Price shall be reduced by the Material Breach Credit; provided that Seller shall not be obligated to deposit any amounts with the Title Company at the Closing.  If Seller has given a Termination Nullification Notice and delivers a Claim Dispute Notice, then Seller shall deposit with Title Company at the Closing an amount equal to the Material Breach Credit (the “Escrow Funds”), to be held in escrow pending a resolution of the Claim Dispute by the Arbiter in accordance with the terms set forth in an escrow agreement to be entered into by the parties at the Closing (the form of which to be reasonably agreed by the parties), until the earlier to occur of (i) written agreement of Seller and Purchaser with respect to the disposition of the Escrow Funds, or (ii) a resolution of the Claim Dispute made by the Arbiter pursuant to Section 10.9(d) below.  Seller may direct that a portion of the Non-Contingent Purchase Price to be paid at Closing be paid to Title Company to serve as the Escrow Funds.  Provided 

Seller has deposited the Escrow Funds with Title Company pending resolution of the Claim Dispute as hereinabove provided, Purchaser shall be required to close title to the Property without adjustment of the Non-Contingent Purchase Price on account of the breach in the Claim Dispute.
(d)    The Claim Dispute as set forth in Seller’s Claim Dispute Notice shall be resolved by the arbitration procedure set forth below.  Seller shall within ten (10) Business Days after the Closing submit in writing to Purchaser (i) the amount, if any, by which Seller believes the total value of the Property has been diminished or such other loss, damage, cost or expense by reason of the breach claimed by Purchaser (“Seller’s Claimed Damage”) or (ii) that Seller believes no reduction of the value of the Property or such other loss, damage, cost or expense has occurred.  The parties shall attempt in good faith to agree upon an individual acceptable to each party to act as arbiter (the “Arbiter”) of the Claim Dispute. If, after expiration of twenty (20) days following Seller’s delivery of a Claim Dispute Notice, the parties are unable to agree upon the selection of the Arbiter, either party may request that an office of the American Arbitration Association in the city and/or county in which the Property is located select a retired jurist or other individual having substantial experience in dispute resolution of commercial real estate matters (who is impartial and has no existing or historical personal or professional relationship with Seller, Purchaser or their respective affiliates) to act as Arbiter. Except to the extent otherwise specifically provided herein, such arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the Real Estate Industry Rules of the American Arbitration Association. Within ten (10) days after selection of an Arbiter, each party shall deliver to the Arbiter all instruments, documents and other materials forming the basis for the existence or non-existence of a breach or the calculation of the amount of the Claims alleged by Purchaser (“Purchaser’s Claimed Damage”) or Seller’s Claimed Damage, as applicable.  Within twenty (20) days of receipt of the submission of such documents and other instruments from both Seller and Purchaser, the Arbiter shall determine whether (x) such a breach has occurred, (y) if so, whether the same constitutes a Material Breach and (z) if a Material Breach has occurred, which of the Purchaser’s Claimed Damage or Seller’s Claimed Damage most closely reflects the actual diminution, if any, in the value of the Property resulting from the Material Breach found to exist.  If the Arbiter determines that a Material Breach has occurred, the Arbiter shall have no authority to select an amount which is not either the Purchaser’s Claimed Damage or Seller’s Claimed Damage (the amount actually selected by the Arbiter whether none (if no Material Breach occurred), the Purchaser’s Claimed Damage or the Seller’s Claimed Damage is hereinafter referred to as the “Final Damage”).  If the determination of the Arbiter hereunder is that there did not occur a Material Breach, the entire amount of the Escrow Funds shall be paid to Seller in accordance with the Escrow Agreement.  If the determination by the Arbiter is that a Material Breach exists and the Arbiter selects (1) the Purchaser’s Claimed Damage, then the Escrow Funds shall be paid to the Purchaser in accordance with the Escrow Agreement or (2) Seller’s Claimed Damage, then a portion of the Escrow Funds in the amount of Seller’s Claimed Damages shall be paid to the Purchaser and the balance of the Escrow Funds shall be paid to Seller, in each case in accordance with the escrow agreement to be agreed by the parties.  The determination of the Arbiter hereunder shall be final and binding in all respects against all parties to this Agreement.  Purchaser shall in no event be entitled to a credit or any other 

recourse against Seller for any sum in excess of the Escrow Funds with respect to any Material Breach.  The costs and expenses of arbitration hereunder (including the fees and disbursements of the Arbiter) shall be paid by the party whose calculation of diminution in value of the Property resulting from the subject breach shall not have been selected, (i.e. if the Arbiter finds in favor of Seller’s Claimed Damage, Purchaser shall pay the arbitration costs and if the Arbiter finds in favor of the Purchaser’s Claimed Damage, Seller shall pay the arbitration costs), or if the dispute is as to the existence of such a breach, such costs shall be paid by the losing party.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if interim payments are required to be made on account of such costs prior to the determination by the Arbiter, such interim payments shall be funded equally by Seller and Purchaser, subject to reimbursement of the prevailing party by the losing party upon the Arbiter’s final determination hereunder.
(e)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained, from and after the date of Closing, with respect to any asserted breach of Seller’s representations and warranties, Seller shall have no liability to Purchaser with respect to such breach if Purchaser has received a credit against the Non-Contingent Purchase Price with respect to such breach whether pursuant to this Section 10.9 above or otherwise, or there is pending a Claim Dispute with respect to such breach in respect of which there have been deposited Escrow Funds pursuant to this Section 10.9 on account of such asserted breach (except, in the case of such a Claim Dispute, for the Purchaser’s Claimed Damage or Seller’s Claimed Damage as determined pursuant Section 10.9(d)). 
Section 9.10    General Conditions Precedent to Seller’s Obligations Regarding the Closing. The obligation of Seller to close the transaction hereunder shall be conditioned upon the satisfaction of each of the following conditions, any of which may be waived by written notice from Seller to Purchaser:
(a)    Purchaser shall have performed or complied in all material respects with all of the covenants and obligations of Purchaser set forth in Section 10.2, as of the Closing Date; and
(b)    The representations and warranties of Purchaser made in Section 8.2 shall be true and correct in all material respects.
Section 9.11    Failure of Condition.  If any condition precedent to Seller’s obligation to effect the Closing (as set forth in Section 10.10) is not satisfied by the Closing Date, then Seller shall be entitled to terminate this Agreement by notice thereof to Purchaser and the Title Company.  If any condition precedent to Purchaser’s obligation to effect the Closing (as set forth in Section 10.8) is not satisfied by the Closing Date, subject to Section 10.9, then Purchaser shall be entitled to terminate this Agreement by notice thereof to Seller and the Title Company. If this Agreement is so terminated, then Purchaser shall be entitled to receive the Earnest Money Deposit and no party shall have any further obligations hereunder, except for Termination Surviving Obligations, provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, if the applicable conditions precedent are not satisfied due to a default by Seller or Purchaser hereunder, then Article XIII shall govern and this Section 10.11 shall not apply.

ARTICLE X     
BROKERAGE
Section 10.1    Brokers.  Seller agrees to pay to Eastdil Secured (“Broker”) a real estate commission at Closing (but only in the event of Closing in strict compliance with this Agreement) pursuant to a separate agreement.  Purchaser and Seller will indemnify, defend and hold the other party harmless from any brokerage or finder’s fee or commission claimed by any person asserting its entitlement thereto at the alleged instigation of the indemnifying party for or on account of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.
ARTICLE XI     
CONFIDENTIALITY
Section 11.1    Confidentiality.  Seller and Purchaser each expressly acknowledges and agrees that, unless and until the Closing occurs, this Agreement, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and the terms, conditions, and negotiations concerning the same will be held in confidence by Purchaser and will not be disclosed by Purchaser except to its respective legal counsel, accountants, consultants, officers, investors, clients, partners, directors, and shareholders, and except and only to the extent that such disclosure may be necessary for their respective performances hereunder or as otherwise required by applicable law.  Purchaser further acknowledges and agrees that, until the Closing occurs, all information obtained by Purchaser in connection with the Property will not be disclosed by Purchaser to any third persons other than those described above without the prior written consent of Seller.  Nothing contained in this Article XII will preclude or limit either party to this Agreement from disclosing or accessing any information otherwise deemed confidential under this Article XII in connection with that party’s enforcement of its rights following a disagreement hereunder, or in response to lawful process or subpoena or other valid or enforceable order of a court of competent jurisdiction or any filings with governmental authorities required by reason of the transactions provided for herein pursuant to  advice of counsel; provided, however, in the event such disclosure is required pursuant to a subpoena or court order, the applicable party shall promptly notify the other party thereof so that the other party may seek a protective order, waive compliance with this Article XII, and/or take any other action mutually agreed upon by the parties.  Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that Seller, and entities which directly or indirectly own the equity interests in Seller, may disclose in press releases, SEC and other filings and governmental authorities, financial statements and/or other communications such information regarding the transactions contemplated hereby and any such information relating to the sale of the Property as may be necessary or advisable under federal or state securities law, rules or regulations (including U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules and regulations), “generally accepted accounting principles” or other accounting rules or procedures or in accordance with Seller and such direct or indirect owners’ prior custom, practice or procedure.  One or more of such owners will be required to publicly disclose the possible transactions contemplated hereby and file this Agreement with the SEC promptly after the execution of the same by both parties or as sooner required by law. The provisions of this Article XII will survive any termination of this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Seller and Purchaser each agree, on their own behalf and on behalf of their respective agents and representatives, not to issue any press release or make any other public statement concerning the 

transaction contemplated by this Agreement without the prior written approval of the other party. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Seller agrees to inform its broker, Eastdil Secured, of the provisions of this Section 12.1 and shall not consent to any disclosures by such broker contrary to the provisions of this Section 12.1 without in each instance Purchaser’s prior written consent. 
ARTICLE XII     
REMEDIES
Section 12.1    Default by Seller. If Closing of the purchase and sale transaction provided for herein does not occur as herein provided by reason of any default of Seller, Purchaser may, as Purchaser’s sole and exclusive remedy, elect by written notice to Seller within five (5) days following the scheduled Closing Date, (a) to terminate this Agreement, in which event Purchaser will receive from the Title Company the Earnest Money Deposit and, if such default arises from Seller’s willful breach of this Agreement or intentional misrepresentation, reimbursement of Purchaser’s out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the transaction contemplated by this Agreement, in an amount not to exceed $200,000.00, and Seller and Purchaser will have no further rights or obligations under this Agreement, except with respect to the Termination Surviving Obligations, or (b) pursue specific performance of this Agreement, so long as any action or proceeding commenced by Purchaser against Seller shall be filed and served within thirty (30) days of the scheduled Closing Date, and, in either event, Purchaser hereby waives all other remedies, including without limitation, any claim against Seller for damages of any type or kind including, without limitation, consequential or punitive damages.  Unless otherwise expressly required pursuant to this Agreement, in no event shall Seller be obligated to undertake any of the following (i) change the condition of the Property or restore the same after any fire or casualty; (ii) expend money or post a bond to remove or insure over anything other than a Must-Cure Matter or to correct any matter shown on a survey of the Property; (iii) secure any permit, approval, or consent with respect to the Property or Seller’s conveyance thereof; or (iv) expend any money to repair, improve or alter the Improvements or any portion thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section 13.1 will limit Purchaser’s remedies at law, in equity or as herein provided in the event of a breach by Seller of any of the Closing Surviving Obligations after Closing or the Termination Surviving Obligations after termination, subject to the terms and provisions of this Agreement.
Section 12.2    DEFAULT BY PURCHASER.  IN THE EVENT THE CLOSING AND THE CONSUMMATION OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREIN DO NOT OCCUR AS PROVIDED HEREIN (TIME BEING OF THE ESSENCE) BY REASON OF ANY DEFAULT OF PURCHASER, PURCHASER AND SELLER AGREE IT WOULD BE IMPRACTICAL AND EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO FIX THE DAMAGES WHICH SELLER MAY SUFFER.  PURCHASER AND SELLER HEREBY AGREE THAT (i) AN AMOUNT EQUAL TO THE EARNEST MONEY DEPOSIT, TOGETHER WITH ALL INTEREST ACCRUED THEREON, IS A REASONABLE ESTIMATE OF THE TOTAL NET DETRIMENT SELLER WOULD SUFFER IN THE EVENT PURCHASER DEFAULTS AND FAILS TO COMPLETE THE PURCHASE OF THE PROPERTY, AND (ii) THE TITLE COMPANY SHALL PAY THE EARNEST MONEY DEPOSIT, TOGETHER WITH ALL INTEREST ACCRUED THEREON, TO SELLER AND WILL BE THE FULL, AGREED AND LIQUIDATED DAMAGES 

FOR PURCHASER’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 PURCHASER RESULTING IN THE FAILURE OF CONSUMMATION OF THE CLOSING, WHEREUPON THIS AGREEMENT WILL TERMINATE AND SELLER AND PURCHASER WILL HAVE NO FURTHER RIGHTS OR OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER, EXCEPT WITH RESPECT TO THE TERMINATION SURVIVING OBLIGATIONS. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, NOTHING CONTAINED IN THIS SECTION 13.2 HEREIN WILL LIMIT SELLER’S REMEDIES AT LAW, IN EQUITY OR AS HEREIN PROVIDED IN THE EVENT OF A BREACH BY PURCHASER OF ANY OF THE CLOSING SURVIVING OBLIGATIONS AFTER CLOSING OR THE TERMINATION SURVIVING OBLIGATIONS AFTER TERMINATION. 
THE PARTIES ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE PAYMENT OF SUCH LIQUIDATED DAMAGES IS NOT INTENDED AS A FORFEITURE OR PENALTY WITHIN THE MEANING OF CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE SECTION 3275 OR 3369, BUT IS INTENDED TO CONSTITUTE LIQUIDATED DAMAGES TO SELLER PURSUANT TO CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE SECTIONS 1671, 1676, AND 1677.  THE PARTIES HAVE SET FORTH THEIR INITIALS BELOW TO INDICATE THEIR AGREEMENT WITH THE LIQUIDATED DAMAGES PROVISION CONTAINED IN THIS SECTION.
SELLER’S INITIALS: _______          PURCHASER’S INITIALS: _______  
Section 12.3    Consequential and Punitive Damages.  Seller and Purchaser each waive any right to sue the other for any consequential or punitive damages for matters arising under this Agreement (it being understood that Seller and Purchaser each have waived the right to obtain incidental, special, exemplary or consequential damages in connection with any default of Purchaser or Seller respectively, or otherwise, which, in the case of Purchaser, include, without limitation, loss of profits or inability to secure lenders, investors or buyers).
ARTICLE XIII

ARTICLE XIV     
ASSIGNMENT AND BINDING EFFECT
Section 14.1    Assignment; Binding Effect.  Purchaser will not have the right to assign this Agreement without Seller’s prior written consent, to be given or withheld in Seller’s sole and absolute discretion.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser may assign its rights under this Agreement to a wholly-owned and controlled Affiliate of Purchaser without the consent of Seller, provided that any such assignment does not relieve Purchaser of its obligations hereunder. This Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Seller and Purchaser and their respective successors and permitted assigns, and no other party will be conferred any rights by virtue of this Agreement or be entitled to enforce any of the provisions hereof. Whenever a reference is made in this Agreement to Seller or Purchaser, such reference will include the successors and permitted assigns of such party under this Agreement.
ARTICLE XV     
LIMITATIONS ON SURVIVAL AND LIABILITY
Section 15.1    Survival of Representations, Warranties and Covenants.  
(a)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the representations, warranties and covenants of Seller set forth in this Agreement and Seller’s liability under any provision of this Agreement and under any Closing Document, will survive the Closing only until the end of the Survival Period.  Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence or any other provision herein to the contrary, if Seller obtains an estoppel certificate meeting the requirements of Section 7.2 hereof from a Tenant before or after Closing, then all representations and warranties made by Seller that are covered in such estoppel certificate shall be null and void, and Purchaser shall accept such estoppel certificate in its place.  Purchaser shall not have any right to bring any action against Seller as a result of (i) any untruth, inaccuracy or breach of such representations, warranties, or covenants under this Agreement or any Closing Document, or (ii) the failure of Seller to perform its obligations under any other provision of this Agreement or under any other document or agreement executed in connection with this Agreement, including all documents and agreements executed at Closing (“Closing Documents”), (x) unless Purchaser has delivered written notice of such untruth, inaccuracy, breach or failure within the Survival Period, and (y) unless and until the aggregate amount 

of all liability and losses arising out of all such untruths, inaccuracies, breaches and failures exceeds Two Hundred Fifty Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($250,000.00).  In addition, in no event will Seller’s liability for all such untruths, inaccuracies, breaches, and/or failures under Section 8.1, any other provision of this Agreement or under any Closing Documents exceed, in the aggregate one percent (1%) of the Purchase Price.
(b)    Seller shall have no liability with respect to any of Seller’s representations, warranties and covenants herein if, prior to the Closing, Purchaser has actual knowledge of any breach of a representation, warranty or covenant of Seller herein, or Purchaser obtains actual knowledge (from whatever source, including, without limitation, any tenant estoppel certificates, as a result of Purchaser’s review of the Due Diligence Items and its due diligence tests, investigations and inspections of the Property, or written disclosure by Seller or Seller’s agents and employees) that contradicts any of Seller’s representations, warranties or covenants, or agreements herein, and Purchaser nevertheless consummates the transaction contemplated by this Agreement.  
(c)    Subject to Sections 16.1(a) and 16.1(b), the Closing Surviving Obligations will survive Closing without limitation unless a specified period is otherwise provided in this Agreement. All other representations, warranties, covenants and agreements made or undertaken by Seller under this Agreement will not survive the Closing Date but will be merged into the Closing Documents delivered at the Closing.  The Termination Surviving Obligations shall survive termination of this Agreement without limitation unless a specified period is otherwise provided in this Agreement. 
(d)    The limitations on Seller’s liability contained in this Article XVI are in addition to, and not limitation of, any limitation on liability provided elsewhere in this Agreement or by law or any other contract, agreement or instrument.  
ARTICLE XVI     
MISCELLANEOUS
Section 16.1    Waivers; Amendments.  No waiver of any breach of any covenant or provisions contained herein will be deemed a waiver of any preceding or succeeding breach thereof, or of any other covenant or provision contained herein. No extension of time for performance of any obligation or act will be deemed an extension of the time for performance of any other obligation or act. This Agreement may not be amended except in a writing signed by both Seller and Purchaser.  
Section 16.2    Recovery of Certain Fees.  In the event a party hereto files any action or suit against another party hereto by reason of any breach of any of the covenants, agreements or provisions contained in this Agreement, then in that event the prevailing party will be entitled to have and recover of and from the other party all attorneys’ fees and costs resulting therefrom, subject, however, in the case of Seller, to the limitations set forth in Section 16.1 above. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “attorneys’ fees” or “attorneys’ fees and costs” shall mean all court costs and the fees and expenses of counsel to the parties hereto, which may include printing, photostatting, duplicating and other expenses, air freight charges, and fees billed for law clerks, paralegals and other persons not admitted to the bar but performing services under the supervision of an attorney, 

and the costs and fees incurred in connection with the enforcement or collection of any judgment obtained in any such proceeding.  The provisions of this Section 17.2 shall survive the entry of any judgment, and shall not merge, or be deemed to have merged, into any judgment.
Section 16.3    Time of Essence.  Seller and Purchaser hereby acknowledge and agree that time is strictly of the essence with respect to each and every term, condition, obligation and provision hereof. Without limiting the foregoing, Purchaser acknowledges that Purchaser has no, and waives any, right to extend the Closing Date except as otherwise specifically set forth in this Agreement.  
Section 16.4    Construction.  Headings at the beginning of each article and section are solely for the convenience of the parties and are not a part of this Agreement. Whenever required by the context of this Agreement, the singular will include the plural and the masculine will include the feminine and vice versa.  This Agreement will not be construed as if it had been prepared by one of the parties, but rather as if both parties had prepared the same.  All exhibits and schedules referred to in this Agreement are attached and incorporated by this reference, and any capitalized term used in any exhibit or schedule which is not defined in such exhibit or schedule will have the meaning attributable to such term in the body of this Agreement.  In the event the date on which Purchaser or Seller is required to take any action under the terms of this Agreement is not a Business Day, the action will be taken on the next succeeding Business Day.
Section 16.5    Counterparts; Electronic Signatures Binding.  To facilitate execution of this Agreement, this Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which, when assembled to include an original, faxed or electronic mail (in .PDF or similar file) signature for each party contemplated to sign this Agreement, will constitute a complete and fully executed agreement.  All such fully executed original, faxed or electronic mail (in .PDF or similar file) counterparts will collectively constitute a single agreement, and such signatures shall be legally binding upon the party sending the signature by such electronic means immediately upon being sent by such party.
Section 16.6    Severability.  If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal, or incapable of being enforced by any rule of law or public policy, all of the other conditions and provisions of this Agreement will nevertheless remain in full force and effect, so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any adverse manner to any party.  Without limiting the foregoing, if the limitation on the time period for bringing claims being limited to the Survival Period is held by a court to be unenforceable, Purchaser and Seller hereby agree that the applicable limitations period for bringing claims under this Agreement shall be reduced to the shortest period permitted under applicable law.  Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal, or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto will negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to reflect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner to the end that the transactions contemplated hereby are fulfilled to the extent possible.
Section 16.7    Entire Agreement.  This Agreement is the final expression of, and contains the entire agreement between, the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersedes all prior understandings (oral or written) with respect thereto.  This Agreement may not be modified, changed, supplemented or terminated, nor may any obligations hereunder be waived, except by 

written instrument, signed by the party to be charged or by its agent duly authorized in writing, or as otherwise expressly permitted herein.
Section 16.8    Governing Law and Venue. THIS AGREEMENT WILL BE CONSTRUED, PERFORMED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA. THE PARTIES AGREE THAT ANY ACTION IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE BROUGHT AND MAINTAINED IN THE STATE OR FEDERAL COURTS THAT ARE SEATED IN LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA, AND THE PARTIES HEREBY CONSENT AND AGREE TO THE JURISDICTION OF SUCH COURTS.  
Section 16.9    No Recording.  The parties hereto agree that neither this Agreement nor any affidavit concerning it will be recorded.
Section 16.10    Further Actions. The parties agree to execute such instructions to the Title Company and such other instruments and to do such further acts as may be reasonably necessary to carry out the provisions of this Agreement.
Section 16.11    No Other Inducements. The making, execution and delivery of this Agreement by the parties hereto have been induced by no representations, statements, warranties or agreements other than those expressly set forth herein.

Section 16.13    No Partnership. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, this Agreement shall not be deemed or construed to make the parties hereto partners or joint venturers, it being the intention of the parties to merely create the relationship of Seller and Purchaser with respect to the Property to be conveyed as contemplated hereby.

Section 16.14    Limitations on Benefits.  It is the explicit intention of Purchaser and Seller that no person or entity other than Purchaser and Seller and, to the extent applicable, the Title Company and their respective permitted successors and assigns is or shall be entitled to bring any action to enforce any provision of this Agreement against any of the parties hereto, and the covenants, undertakings and agreements set forth in this Agreement shall be solely for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable only by, Purchaser and Seller and, to the extent applicable, the Title Company or their respective successors and assigns as permitted hereunder. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall under any circumstances whatsoever be deemed or construed, or be interpreted, as making any third party (including, without limitation, Broker or any Tenant) a beneficiary of any term or provision of this Agreement or any instrument or document delivered pursuant hereto, and Purchaser and Seller expressly reject any such intent, construction or interpretation of this Agreement. 
Section 16.15    Exculpation.  In no event whatsoever shall recourse be had or liability asserted against any of Seller’s partners, members, shareholders, employees, agents, directors, officers or other owners of Seller or their respective constituent members, partners, shareholders, employees, agents, directors, officers or other owners.  Seller’s direct and indirect shareholders, partners, members, beneficiaries and owners and their respective trustees, officers, directors, employees, agents and security holders, assume no personal liability for any obligations entered into on behalf of Seller under this Agreement and the Closing Documents.
Section 16.16    Waiver of Jury Trial. THE PARTIES HERETO KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVE, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY DISPUTE ARISING UNDER OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT AND AGREE THAT ANY SUCH DISPUTE SHALL BE TRIED BEFORE A JUDGE SITTING WITHOUT A JURY.
