If Closing occurs, the Earnest Money Deposit shall be applied to the payment of the Purchase Price at Closing.  In all other instances, the Title Company shall hold and disburse the Earnest Money Deposit in accordance with this Agreement.
Section 4.2.    Escrow Instructions.  Article IV constitutes the escrow instructions of Seller and Purchaser to the Title Company with regard to the Earnest Money Deposit and the Closing (the 

“Escrow Instructions”).  By its execution of the joinder attached hereto, the Title Company agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Article IV.  
Section 4.3.    Deposits into Escrow.  On or before the Deposit Time, (a) Purchaser will cause the difference between the Purchase Price and the Earnest Money Deposit and Independent Consideration (subject to the prorations provided for in Section 10.4 and with the addition of all Closing costs to be paid by Purchaser) to be transferred to the Title Company’s escrow account, in accordance with the timing and other requirements of Section 3.3, (b) Purchaser will deliver in escrow to the Title Company the documents described in Section 10.2, and (c) Seller will deliver in escrow to the Title Company the documents described in Section 10.3.
Section 4.4.    Close of Escrow.  When Purchaser and Seller have delivered the items required by Section 4.3, the Title Company will:
(a)    If applicable and when required, file with the Internal Revenue Service (with copies to Purchaser and Seller) the reporting statement required under Section 6045(e) of the Internal Revenue Code and Section 4.9; 
(b)    Insert the applicable Closing Date as the date of any document delivered to the Title Company undated, and assemble counterparts into single instruments;
(c)    Disburse to Seller, by wire transfer to Seller of immediately available federal funds, in accordance with wiring instructions to be obtained by the Title Company from Seller, all sums to be received by Seller from Purchaser at the Closing, consisting of the Purchase Price, as adjusted in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement;
(d)    Deliver the Deed and Assignment of Property Agreements to Purchaser by agreeing to cause the same to be recorded in the Official Records; 
(e)    Issue to Purchaser the Title Policy required by Section 6.3;
(f)    Deliver to Seller, in addition to Seller’s Closing proceeds, all documents deposited with the Title Company for delivery to Seller at the Closing; and
(g)    Deliver to Purchaser (i) all documents deposited with the Title Company for delivery to Purchaser at the Closing and (ii) any funds deposited by Purchaser in excess of the amount required to be paid by Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement.
Section 4.5.    Termination Notices.  If at any time the Title Company receives a certificate of either Seller or Purchaser (the “Certifying Party”) stating that: (a) the Certifying Party is entitled to receive the Earnest Money Deposit pursuant to this Agreement, and (b) a copy of the certificate was delivered to the other party (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 five (5) 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 three (3) Business Days after the expiration of the foregoing five (5) Business 

Day period, will deliver the Earnest Money Deposit to the Certifying Party.  If the Title Company receives contrary instructions from the Other Party within five (5) 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 4.6.
Section 4.6.    Conflicting Demands of Title Company.  In the event conflicting demands are made or notices served upon Title Company with respect to this Agreement, or if there is uncertainty as to the meaning or applicability of this Agreement, 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.  Notwithstanding anything in Section 4.5 or Section 4.6 to the contrary, the Title Company shall comply with the unilateral instructions of Purchaser to return the Earnest Money Deposit to Purchaser if Purchaser has terminated this Agreement prior to expiration of the Property Approval Period.
Section 4.7.    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.
Section 4.8.    Investment of Earnest Money Deposit.  Title Company will invest and reinvest the Earnest Money Deposit, at the instruction and sole election of Purchaser, only in (a) bonds, notes, Treasury bills or other securities constituting direct obligations of, or guaranteed by the full faith and credit of, the United States of America, and in no event maturing beyond the Closing Date, or (b) an interest-bearing money market account or account at a commercial bank mutually acceptable to Seller, Purchaser and Title Company.  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.  All interest earned on the Earnest Money Deposit will be the property of Purchaser and will be reported to the Internal Revenue Service as income until such time as Seller is entitled to the Earnest Money Deposit pursuant to this Agreement.  Purchaser will provide the Title Company with a taxpayer identification number and will pay all income taxes due by reason of interest accrued on the Earnest Money Deposit.
Section 4.9.    Designation of Reporting Person.  In order to assure compliance with the requirements of Section 6045 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“Code”), and any related reporting requirements of the Code, the Title Company (the “Reporting Person”) hereby assumes all responsibilities for information reporting required under Section 6045(e) of the Code.  Seller and Purchaser each shall provide to the Reporting Person (a) all information and certifications regarding such party, as reasonably requested by the Reporting Person or otherwise required to be provided by a party to the transaction described herein under Section 6045 of the Code; and (b) such 

party’s taxpayer identification number and a statement (on Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 or an acceptable substitute form, or on any other form the applicable current or future Code sections and regulations might require and/or any form requested by the Reporting Person), signed under penalties of perjury, stating that the taxpayer identification number supplied by such party to the Reporting Person is correct.  Each party shall retain this Agreement for not less than four (4) years from the end of the calendar year in which Closing occurred, and produce it to the Internal Revenue Service upon a valid request therefor.
ARTICLE V     
INSPECTION OF PROPERTY
Section 5.1.    Entry and Inspection.
(a)    Through the earlier of the Closing or the termination of this Agreement, subject to the terms of the Tenant Lease and Property Agreements, Purchaser and its authorized agents, representatives, employees, consultants, partners, members and contractors (the “Licensee Parties”) may inspect and investigate the Property and the Off-Site Garage (including, without limitation, inspections of all roofs, electrical, mechanical and structural elements, HVAC systems and other building systems located on or within the Improvements and Off-Site Garage) and may conduct such non-invasive tests (including, without limitation, any soil, water and air sampling analysis or other environmental investigations), evaluations and assessments of the Property as Purchaser deems necessary, appropriate or prudent in connection with Purchaser’s acquisition of the Property.  Subject to this Section 5.1, Section 5.2 and Section 5.3, Seller will permit the Licensee Parties the right to enter upon the Real Property and Improvements at all reasonable times, during normal business hours, to perform inspections of the Property, inspect the books and records of Seller with respect to the Property (and to make copies thereof) and interview the Tenant and the Breaktime Tenant; provided Purchaser shall not have the right to communicate with Tenant and the Breaktime Tenant unless interviews and communications are coordinated through Seller and Seller shall have the right to participate in any such interviews and communications.  Purchaser will provide to Seller written notice (which notice may be e-mail or telephone to Dan Eifert, at dan.eifert@hines.com, and (513) 721-4300) of the intention of Purchaser or the other Licensee Parties to enter the Real Property or Improvements at least twenty-four (24) hours prior to such intended entry and specify the intended purpose therefor and the inspections and examinations contemplated to be made.  At Seller’s option, Seller may be present for any such entry, inspection and communication with Tenant.  Any soil borings or other invasive tests to the Property which Purchaser proposes to perform shall require the prior written approval of Seller, which approval may be granted or withheld in Seller’s sole and absolute discretion; provided, however, that prior to giving such approval, Seller shall be provided with a written sampling plan in reasonable detail in order to allow Seller a reasonable opportunity to evaluate such proposal.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser may, without Seller’s consent, conduct a Phase I environmental audit of the Property which includes radon and air sampling without further consent or approval from Seller.  If Purchaser or its Licensee Parties undertake any borings or other disturbances of the soil, the soil shall be re-compacted to substantially the same condition as existed immediately before any such borings or other disturbances were undertaken.  If Purchaser or its Licensee Parties take any sample from the Property in connection with any testing, Purchaser shall upon the request of Seller, provide to Seller a portion of such sample being tested to allow Seller, if it so chooses, to perform its own testing (at Seller’s cost).  If the Property or the Off-Site Garage is damaged as a result of Purchaser’s inspections 

or the actions of any Licensee Parties, Purchaser shall restore the Property or the Off-Site Garage to substantially the same condition as existed immediately prior to such inspections, but in no event later than thirty (30) days after the damage occurs.
(b)    Subject to Section 5.3, the Licensee Parties shall have the right to communicate directly with the Authorities for any good faith reasonable purpose in connection with the transaction contemplated by this Agreement, so long such communications can be conducted without disclosing that a sale of the Property is contemplated; provided, however, Purchaser shall, except with respect to routine requests for information (including, without limitation, in connection with the preparation of a so-called Phase I environmental assessment or a so-called “zoning report” with respect to the Property), provide Seller at least twenty-four (24) hours prior written notice of Purchaser’s intention to communicate with any Authorities and Seller shall have the right to participate in any such communications.
Section 5.2.    Document Review.
(a)    Seller has made available, or during the Property Approval Period will make available, either by delivery of materials to Purchaser’s representatives or electronic access to the Seller’s data room, the following, to the extent in Seller’s or its property manager’s possession or control, to Purchaser and its Licensee Parties for review, inspection, examination, analysis and verification:  (i) all existing environmental reports and studies of the Property issued on behalf of Seller; (ii) assessments (special or otherwise), ad valorem and personal property tax bills, covering the three (3) years preceding the Effective Date; (iii) Seller’s most currently available rent roll; (iv) operating statements and rent rolls for calendar years 2013, 2014, and year-to-date 2015; (v) copies of Property Agreements, Tenant Lease, Breaktime Lease, Service Contracts, and Licenses and Permits; and (vi) engineering, mechanical and other drawings, blueprints and specifications and similar documentation relating to the Property (collectively, the “Documents”). In addition, Seller shall promptly make available to Purchaser, either by delivery of materials to Purchaser’s representatives or electronic access to the Seller’s data room, any other materials relating to the Property that may be reasonably requested by Purchaser and that are within the possession or control of Seller or Seller’s property manager.  Documents shall not include (1) any document which would be subject to the attorney-client privilege; (2) any document which Seller is obligated to keep confidential; (3) any documents pertaining to the marketing of the Property for sale to prospective purchasers (other than the offering memorandum provided to Purchaser); (4) any internal memoranda, reports or assessments of Seller or Seller’s Affiliates to the extent relating to Seller’s valuation of the Property; (5) any appraisals of the Property, whether prepared internally by Seller or Seller’s Affiliates or externally; (6) any documents which are confidential or proprietary (such as Seller’s or Seller’s property manager’s operation manuals, software programs or other electronic media or services that are subject to licenses or other agreements that are personal to Seller or Seller’s property manager); or (7) any materials projecting the future performance of the Property.  
(b)    Purchaser acknowledges that any and all of the Documents (including information related to leasing arrangements with existing and prospective Tenants) may be proprietary and confidential in nature and shall be made available to Purchaser solely to assist Purchaser in determining the feasibility of purchasing the Property.  Purchaser shall not disclose the contents of the Documents, or any of the provisions, terms or conditions contained therein, to any party outside of 

Purchaser’s organization other than its attorneys, partners, accountants, consultants, advisors, Affiliates, lenders or investors, including potential lenders or potential investors (collectively, the “Permitted Outside Parties”) or as otherwise permitted pursuant to Section 12.1.  In permitting Purchaser and the Permitted Outside Parties to review the Documents or information to assist Purchaser, Seller has not waived any privilege or claim of confidentiality with respect thereto, and no third party benefits or relationships of any kind, either express or implied, have been offered, intended or created by Seller and any such claims are expressly rejected by Seller and waived by Purchaser and the Permitted Outside Parties, for whom, by its execution of this Agreement, Purchaser is acting as an agent with regard to such waiver.
(c)    Upon Seller’s written request, Purchaser shall promptly destroy all copies Purchaser has made (and computer files of same) of any Documents containing confidential information before or after the execution of this Agreement, not later than ten (10) Business Days following the time this Agreement is terminated for any reason, and provide Seller with a certified notice of the completion of such destruction.
(d)    Purchaser acknowledges that some of the Documents may have been prepared by third parties and may have been prepared prior to Seller’s ownership of the Property.  Purchaser hereby acknowledges that, except as expressly provided in this Agreement, Seller has not made and does not make any representation or warranty regarding the truth, accuracy or completeness of the Documents or the sources thereof (whether prepared by Seller, Seller’s Affiliates or any other person or entity).  Seller has not undertaken any independent investigation as to the truth, accuracy or completeness of the Documents and is providing the Documents solely as an accommodation to Purchaser, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement.
Section 5.3.    Entry and Inspection Obligations.
(h)    In entering upon and inspecting or examining the Property and communicating with Tenant, and in addition to the other limitations contained in this Agreement, Purchaser and the other Licensee Parties will (i) use commercially reasonable efforts to not disturb the Tenant or interfere with its use of the Property; (ii) not unreasonably interfere with the operation and maintenance of the Property; (iii) not damage any part of the Property or any personal property owned or held by Tenant or any other person or entity; (iv) not injure or otherwise cause bodily harm to Seller, the Tenant, or the Breaktime Tenant, or to any of their respective agents, guests, invitees, contractors and employees, or to any other person or entity; (v) not permit any liens to attach to the Property; and (vi) not unreasonably interfere with the operation and maintenance of the Off-Site Garage.  Purchaser will:  (i) maintain comprehensive general liability (occurrence) insurance in an amount not less than $2,000,000.00 and on terms (including coverage for an “insured contract” with respect to the indemnity in Section 5.3(b)) satisfactory to Seller covering any accident arising in connection with the presence or activities of Purchaser or the other Licensee Parties on the Property, and (ii) deliver to Seller a certificate of insurance 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 and promptly pay when due the costs of all inspections, entries, samplings and tests and examinations done with regard to the Property.  

(i)    Purchaser hereby indemnifies, defends and holds Seller and 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, costs and expenses relating to any of the foregoing (including but not limited to court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees but excluding special, punitive, and/or consequential damages), 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 this Section 5.3; provided that the foregoing indemnity shall not apply to any claims, damages or other costs arising by virtue of (i) the negligent or willful misconduct of Seller or its agents and employees, or (ii) the mere discovery of any pre-existing condition at the Property by or in connection with any inspections, investigations, examinations, entries, samplings or tests conducted by Purchaser or any Licensee Party, except to the extent such parties exacerbate any such pre-existing conditions.
Section 5.4.    Property Approval Period.  Purchaser, in Purchaser’s sole and absolute discretion, may determine whether or not the Property is acceptable to Purchaser during the Property Approval Period.  If Purchaser determines that the Property is not acceptable, or if Purchaser otherwise elects not to proceed with the purchase of the Property for any other reason or no reason, Purchaser shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by the delivery of written notice (“Termination Notice”) to Seller at any time prior to the expiration of the Property Approval Period, TIME BEING OF THE ESSENCE.  If Purchaser timely delivers a Termination Notice prior to the expiration of the Property Approval Period, TIME BEING OF THE ESSENCE, then within three (3) Business Days following receipt of such Termination Notice, the Title Company shall return the Earnest Money Deposit to Purchaser in accordance with Purchaser’s written instructions, Purchaser shall pay any reasonable and customary cancellation fees or charges of Title Company and except for Termination Surviving Obligations, the parties shall have no further rights or obligations to one another under this Agreement.  In the event Purchaser fails to deliver a Termination Notice prior to the expiration of the Property Approval Period, TIME BEING OF THE ESSENCE, Purchaser shall be deemed to have waived its right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 5.4 and the parties hereto shall proceed with the transaction contemplated by this Agreement.
Section 5.5.    Sale “As Is”.  PURCHASER HAS CONDUCTED (OR WILL CONDUCT PRIOR TO THE EXPIRATION OF THE PROPERTY APPROVAL PERIOD) ITS OWN INDEPENDENT EXAMINATION OF THE PROPERTY.  OTHER THAN ANY SPECIFIC MATTERS REPRESENTED BY SELLER IN THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY CLOSING DOCUMENT (AS MAY BE LIMITED BY SECTION 16.1 OF THIS AGREEMENT), PURCHASER HAS NOT RELIED UPON AND WILL NOT RELY UPON, EITHER DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, ANY REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY OF SELLER OR ANY OF SELLER’S AFFILIATES, AGENTS OR REPRESENTATIVES, AND PURCHASER HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGES THAT NO SUCH REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES HAVE BEEN MADE.  EXCEPT AS SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY CLOSING DOCUMENT, SELLER SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMS, AND NEITHER IT NOR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES NOR ANY OTHER PERSON IS MAKING, ANY REPRESENTATION, WARRANTY OR ASSURANCE WHATSOEVER TO PURCHASER AND  NO WARRANTIES OR REPRESENTATIONS OF ANY KIND OR CHARACTER, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, ARE MADE BY SELLER OR MAY BE RELIED UPON BY PURCHASER WITH RESPECT TO THE STATUS OF TITLE TO OR THE 

MAINTENANCE, REPAIR, CONDITION, DESIGN OR MARKETABILITY OF THE PROPERTY, OR ANY PORTION THEREOF, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO (A) ANY IMPLIED OR EXPRESS WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, (B) ANY IMPLIED OR EXPRESS WARRANTY OF FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, (C) ANY IMPLIED OR EXPRESS WARRANTY OF CONFORMITY TO MODELS OR SAMPLES OF MATERIALS, (D) ANY RIGHTS OF PURCHASER UNDER APPROPRIATE STATUTES TO CLAIM DIMINUTION OF CONSIDERATION, (E) ANY CLAIM BY PURCHASER FOR DAMAGES BECAUSE OF DEFECTS, WHETHER KNOWN, OR UNKNOWN, OR LATENT, WITH RESPECT TO THE REAL PROPERTY, IMPROVEMENTS OR THE PERSONAL PROPERTY, (F) THE FINANCIAL CONDITION OR PROSPECTS OF THE PROPERTY OR THE TENANTS AND (G) THE COMPLIANCE OR LACK THEREOF OF THE REAL PROPERTY OR THE IMPROVEMENTS WITH GOVERNMENTAL REGULATIONS, IT BEING THE EXPRESS INTENTION OF SELLER AND PURCHASER THAT, EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH TO THE CONTRARY IN THIS AGREEMENT OR IN ANY CLOSING DOCUMENT (AS LIMITED BY SECTION 16.1 OF THIS AGREEMENT), THE PROPERTY WILL BE CONVEYED AND TRANSFERRED TO PURCHASER IN ITS PRESENT CONDITION AND STATE OF REPAIR, “AS IS” AND “WHERE IS”, WITH ALL FAULTS.  Purchaser represents that it is a knowledgeable, experienced and sophisticated purchaser of real estate, and that it is relying solely on its own expertise and that of Purchaser’s consultants in purchasing the Property.  Upon Closing, Purchaser shall be deemed to have conducted such inspections, investigations and other independent examinations of the Property and related matters as Purchaser deems necessary, including the physical and environmental conditions thereof, and will rely upon same and not upon any statements of Seller (excluding the limited specific matters represented by Seller in this Agreement and any Closing Document, in each case as limited by Section 16.1 of this Agreement) or of any Affiliate, officer, director, employee, agent or attorney of Seller.  Upon Closing, but subject to Seller’s representations in this Agreement and any Closing Document, Purchaser will assume the risk (i) that adverse matters, including adverse physical and environmental conditions, may not have been revealed by Purchaser’s inspections and investigations and (ii) of changes in applicable Environmental Laws relating to past, present and future environmental health conditions on, or resulting from the ownership or operation of, the Property.  Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that, except as set forth in this Agreement and any Closing Document (i) all information obtained by Purchaser was obtained from a variety of sources and Seller will not be deemed to have represented or warranted the completeness, truth or accuracy of any of the Documents or other such information heretofore or hereafter furnished to Purchaser; (ii) upon Closing, Seller will sell and convey to Purchaser, and Purchaser will accept, the Property, “AS IS, WHERE IS,” with all faults; (iii) there are no oral agreements, warranties or representations, collateral to or affecting the Property, by Seller, an Affiliate of Seller, any agent, officer, director, employee or attorney of Seller or any third party; (iv) Seller is not liable or bound in any manner by any oral or written statements, representations or information pertaining to the Property furnished by any real estate broker, agent, employee, servant or other person; (v) the Purchase Price reflects the “AS IS, WHERE IS” nature of this sale and any faults, liabilities, defects or other adverse matters that may be associated with the Property; and (vi) the disclaimers and other agreements set forth herein are an integral part of this Agreement and Seller would not have agreed to sell the Property to Purchaser for the Purchase Price without the disclaimers and other agreements set forth in this Agreement.  Purchaser, with Purchaser’s counsel, has fully reviewed the disclaimers and waivers set forth in this Agreement, and understands the significance and effect thereof.  

Section 5.6.    Purchaser’s Release of Seller.
(a)    Purchaser, on behalf of itself and its partners, officers, directors, agents, controlling persons and Affiliates, hereby releases, except with respect to Closing Surviving Obligations, each of Seller and Seller’s Affiliates and their respective partners, members, owners, officers, directors, agents, representatives and controlling persons (collectively, the “Seller Released Parties”) from any and all liability, responsibility, penalties, fines, suits, demands, actions, losses, damages, expenses, causes of action, proceedings, judgments, executions, costs of any kind or nature whatsoever and claims (collectively, “Claims”) arising out of or related to any matter or any nature relating to the Property or its condition, including the presence in the soil, soil gas, air, structures and surface and subsurface waters, of any Hazardous Substances or any chemical, material or substance that may in the future be determined to be toxic, hazardous, undesirable or subject to regulation and/or that may need to be specially treated, handled and/or removed from the Property under current or future federal, state and local laws, regulations or guidelines, any latent or patent construction defects, errors or omissions, compliance with law matters, any statutory or common law right Purchaser may have for property damage Claims, bodily injury Claims, contribution or cost recovery Claims or any other Claims under Environmental Laws and/or to receive disclosures from Seller, including, without limitation, any disclosures as to the Property’s location within areas designated as subject to flooding, fire, seismic or earthquake risks by any federal, state or local entity, the need to obtain flood insurance, the certification of water heater bracing and/or the advisability of obtaining title insurance, or any other condition or circumstance affecting the Property, its financial viability, use of operation, or any portion thereof), valuation, salability or utility of the Property, or its suitability for any purpose whatsoever.  Without limiting the foregoing, but expressly excluding Closing Surviving Obligations, Purchaser specifically releases Seller and the Seller Released Parties from any Claims Purchaser may have against Seller and/or the other Seller Released Parties now or in the future arising from the environmental condition of the Property or the presence of Hazardous Substances or contamination on or emanating from the Property, including any rights of contribution or indemnity.
(b)    Purchaser acknowledges that it has (or shall have prior to Closing) inspected the Property, observed its physical characteristics and existing conditions and had the opportunity to conduct such investigations and studies on and off said Property and adjacent areas as it deems or deemed necessary, and Purchaser hereby waives, except with respect to Closing Surviving Obligations, any and all objections to or complaints (including but not limited to actions based on federal, state or common law and any private right of action under CERCLA, RCRA or any other state and federal law to which the Property is or may be subject, including any rights of contribution or indemnity) against Seller, its Affiliates, or their respective officers, directors, partners, members, owners, employees or agents regarding physical characteristics and existing conditions, including without limitation structural and geologic conditions, subsurface soil and water conditions and solid and hazardous waste and Hazardous Substances on, under, adjacent to or otherwise affecting the Property or related to prior uses of the Property.  
(c)    Purchaser further hereby assumes the risk of changes in applicable laws and regulations relating to past, present and future environmental, safety or health conditions on, or resulting from the ownership or operation of, the Property, and the risk that adverse physical characteristics and conditions, including without limitation the presence of Hazardous Substances or other substances, may not be revealed by its investigation.

(d)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the releases set forth in this Section 5.6 are not intended to, and shall not be construed to, affect or impair (i) any rights or remedies that Purchaser may have under this Agreement against the Seller as a result of any breach of representations, warranties or covenants of Seller expressly set forth in this Agreement or in any Closing Document, subject to the terms and limitations on survival and on  Seller’s liability set forth elsewhere in this Agreement, or (ii) any Closing Surviving Obligations.
Section 5.7.    Off-Site Garage. To the extent permitted under the terms of the Property Agreements, Purchaser’s rights and obligations under this Article V shall apply to the Off-Site Garage, but shall be limited by the terms of any applicable Property Agreement.

ARTICLE VI     
TITLE AND SURVEY MATTERS
Section 6.1.    Title and Survey.  Purchaser has received from the Title Company a preliminary title commitment for the Real Property, dated April 22, 2015 (the “PTR”), and copies of all underlying title documents described in the PTR.  Seller has delivered to Purchaser a copy of that certain survey of the Real Property, dated May 12, 2015, prepared by James S. Anderson, PLS #1726 (the “Survey”).
Section 6.2.    Title and Survey Review.
(j)    Purchaser shall have until 5:00 p.m. Central Time on 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 such written notice from Purchaser by the Title Notice Date, Purchaser shall be deemed to have unconditionally approved of the condition of title to the Property as shown on the PTR and the Survey, subject only to Seller’s obligations set forth in Section 6.2(d).  Except as expressly provided herein, Seller shall have no obligation whatsoever to expend any funds, to undertake any obligations, or otherwise to cure any title objections.  If Purchaser timely delivers a Title Notice, then Seller shall deliver, no later than 5:00 p.m. Central Time on the Title Response Date, written notice to Purchaser and Title Company identifying which disapproved items, if any, Seller shall cure (by either having the same removed or by obtaining affirmative insurance to Purchaser’s satisfaction in its reasonable discretion over the same as part of the Title Policy) (“Seller’s Response”).  If Seller does not deliver a Seller’s Response prior to the Title Response Date, Seller shall be deemed to have elected to not remove or otherwise cure any exceptions disapproved by Purchaser.  If Seller elects, or is deemed to have elected, not to remove or otherwise cure an exception disapproved in Purchaser’s Title Notice, Purchaser shall have until the expiration of the Property Approval Period to (i) deliver a Termination Notice to Seller and Title Company terminating this Agreement, in which event Title Company shall, within three (3) Business Days following receipt of such Termination Notice, return the Earnest Money Deposit to Purchaser in accordance with Purchaser’s written instructions and, except for Termination Surviving Obligations, the parties shall have no further rights or obligations to one another under this Agreement, or (ii) waive any such objection to the PTR and the Survey (whereupon such objections shall be deemed Permitted Exceptions).  If Seller and Title Company have not received written notice from Purchaser by the Contingency Date, such failure shall be deemed Purchaser’s waiver of all such objections to the PTR and the Survey.  Purchaser and Seller acknowledge that the Title Notice and 

Seller’s Response have been timely delivered, and Purchaser has waived its right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 6.2(a).
(k)    Purchaser may, at or prior to Closing, notify Seller in writing (the “Gap Notice”) of any objections to title or the Survey (i) raised by the Title Company between the Title Notice Date (or such earlier date as Purchaser has delivered a Title Notice) and the Closing, (ii) not disclosed by the Title Company to Purchaser at least two (2) Business Days prior to the expiration of the Property Approval Period, and (iii) not disclosed by Seller to Purchaser prior to the expiration of the Property Approval Period (“New Exceptions”); provided that Purchaser must notify Seller of any objection to any such New Exception prior to the date three (3) Business Days after being made aware of the existence of such New Exception and the Closing Date will, if necessary to allow Purchaser such three (3) Business Day period, be extended for up to three (3) Business Days.  If Purchaser fails to deliver to Seller a Gap Notice on or before such date, Purchaser will be deemed to have waived any objection to the New Exceptions, and the New Exceptions will be Permitted Exceptions.  Seller will have not less than three (3) Business Days from the receipt of Purchaser’s Gap Notice (and, if necessary, Seller may extend the Closing Date to provide for such three (3) Business Day period and for three (3) Business Days following such period for Purchaser’s response), within which time Seller may, but is under no obligation to, agree to remove or otherwise obtain affirmative insurance to Purchaser’s satisfaction in its reasonable discretion over the objectionable New Exceptions.  If, within the three (3) Business Day period, Seller does not agree to remove or otherwise obtain affirmative insurance over the objectionable New Exceptions, then Purchaser may deliver a Termination Notice to Seller and Title Company terminating this Agreement, in which event Title Company shall, within three (3) Business Days following receipt of such Termination Notice, return the Earnest Money Deposit to Purchaser in accordance with Purchaser’s written instructions and, except for Termination Surviving Obligations, the parties shall have no further rights or obligations to one another under this Agreement.  If Purchaser fails to terminate this Agreement in the manner set forth above, the New Exceptions (except those New Exceptions that Seller has agreed to remove or otherwise affirmatively insure over) will be Permitted Exceptions.
(l)    If Seller timely agrees in Seller’s Response to a Title Notice or in its response to a Gap Notice to attempt to cure any of the objections set forth in such Title Notice or Gap Notice, and if Seller is unable to cure such objections by the Closing Date (as such date may be extended pursuant to Section 6.2(b)), Purchaser shall, on the Closing Date either (i) waive such objections without any abatement in the Purchase Price, or (ii) deliver a Termination Notice to Seller and Title Company terminating this Agreement, in which event Title Company shall, within three (3) Business Days following receipt of such Termination Notice, return the Earnest Money Deposit to Purchaser in accordance with Purchaser’s written instructions and, except for Termination Surviving Obligations, the parties shall have no further rights or obligations to one another under this Agreement.
(m)    Notwithstanding any provision of this Section 6.2 to the contrary, Seller will be obligated to pay or otherwise discharge any and all exceptions to title to the Real Property and Improvements relating to (i) liens and security interests securing any loan to Seller, including, without limitation, mortgages and deeds of trust and (ii) any other consensual or non-consensual liens or security interests created by documents executed by, or actions or omissions of, Seller other than liens for ad valorem taxes and assessments for the current calendar year.

ARTICLE VII     
INTERIM OPERATING COVENANTS AND ESTOPPELS
Section 7.1.    Interim Operating Covenants.  Seller will, from the Effective Date until Closing:
(n)    continue to operate and maintain the Real Property and 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;
(o)    maintain fire and extended coverage insurance on the Improvements equivalent in all material respects to Seller’s insurance policies covering the Improvements as of the Effective Date;
(p)    not transfer or remove any Personal Property from the Improvements except for the purpose of repair or replacement thereof;
(q)    not enter into any new leases of the Property or any amendments, expansions or renewals of the Tenant Lease or the Breaktime Lease, or terminate the Tenant Lease or the Breaktime Lease, or apply any tenant security deposit, without the prior written consent of Purchaser, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld prior to expiration of the Property Approval Period but may be withheld in Purchaser’s sole discretion after expiration of the Property Approval Period, provided consent shall not be required for any expansion or renewal which Seller, as landlord, is required to honor pursuant to the Tenant Lease or the Breaktime Lease; 
(r)    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, amend or modify (other than renewals, as provided above) any of the Service Contracts, unless Purchaser consents thereto in writing, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld prior to expiration of the Property Approval Period but may be withheld in Purchaser’s sole discretion after expiration of the Property Approval Period;

(s)    terminate (at no cost or expense to Purchaser) on or prior to Closing any and all Service Contracts which Purchaser requests Seller to terminate by notice given to Seller at or prior to the expiration of the Property Approval Period if such Service Contracts are terminable without fee, penalty or charge;
(t)    promptly deliver to Purchaser copies of written default notices, notices of lawsuits, and notices of violations affecting the Property actually received by Seller; 
(u)    not voluntarily subject the Property to any additional liens, encumbrances, covenants or easements, which would not constitute Permitted Exceptions, unless either released prior to Closing, or approved by Purchaser in its sole discretion; 
(v)    request the Tenant Estoppel Certificate from Tenant and deliver to Purchaser all written comments made by Tenant with respect to the Tenant Estoppel Certificate that are received by Seller in connection with Seller’s request for the same promptly following such receipt received;
(w)    promptly notify Purchaser of any event or circumstance which makes any representation or warranty of Seller to Purchaser under this Agreement untrue in any material respect;
(x)    use commercially reasonable efforts to comply in all material respects with the terms, covenants and conditions contained in the Tenant Lease, the Service Contracts, the Permitted Exceptions and any other agreement affecting the Property and to monitor compliance thereunder in a manner consistent with Seller’s current practices; and
(y)    deliver notices of the Closing to Crown Center Redevelopment Corporation as required by the Revocable License and the Property Agreements.  Purchaser acknowledges that, upon giving such notice in connection with the Revocable License, the owner of the Wall Drawing #1118 by Sol LeWitt is obligated to remove it.
Whenever in this Section 7.1 Seller is required to obtain Purchaser’s approval, Purchaser shall, within five (5) Business Days after receipt of Seller’s written request therefor, notify Seller of its approval or disapproval of same and, if Purchaser fails to notify Seller of its approval within said five (5) Business Day period, Purchaser shall be deemed to have approved the same.
Section 7.2.    Tenant Estoppel Certificate.  It will be a condition to Purchaser’s obligation to consummate Closing that Seller obtain and deliver to Purchaser at least two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing, an estoppel certificate from Tenant in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit D; provided an estoppel certificate executed by Tenant in the form required by the Tenant Lease shall satisfy the requirement of this Section 7.2 (“Tenant Estoppel Certificate”). For the avoidance of doubt, in the event that Tenant does not agree to Paragraphs 14 and 16 of the Form of Tenant Estoppel Certificate attached hereto as Exhibit D, the failure to include the same shall not cause the executed Tenant Estoppel Certificate to fail to satisfy the requirements of this Section 7.2.  For the Tenant Estoppel Certificate to satisfy the conditions under this Section 7.2, it shall not (i) reflect a monetary default, a material non-monetary default, or an event which, with the giving of notice and/or passage of time, could reasonably be expected to result in a monetary default or material non-monetary default by the landlord or Tenant under the Tenant Lease, (ii) reflect a material discrepancy with the terms of 

the Tenant Lease, (iii) contain a statement, information or allegation inconsistent with (a) Seller’s representations or warranties contained in this Agreement or (b) the documents or other materials provided by Seller to Purchaser on or before the date that is one (1) Business Day prior to the expiration of the Property Approval Period, (iv) contain a statement, information or allegation regarding a dispute between Tenant and Seller, and (v) be executed by Tenant more than ten (10) days prior to Closing.  Prior to delivery of the form of estoppel certificate to the Tenant, Seller will deliver to Purchaser a completed form of estoppel certificate, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D or such form as required by the Tenant Lease and containing the information contemplated thereby.  Within three (3) Business Days following Purchaser’s receipt thereof, Purchaser will send to Seller notice either (i) approving such form as completed by Seller or (ii) setting forth in detail all changes to such form which Purchaser reasonably believes to be appropriate to make the completed form of estoppel certificate 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 D or the form required by the Tenant Lease.   In no event shall Seller’s failure to obtain the Tenant Estoppel Certificate 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 Tenant Estoppel Certificate is set forth in Section 10.11.  If the Tenant Estoppel Certificate is not obtained at least two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, each of Purchaser and Seller shall have the right to extend Closing for up to fifteen (15) days in order to obtain the Tenant Estoppel Certificate by delivering written notice of such extension to the other on or prior to the originally scheduled Closing Date.
Section 7.3.    OFAC.  Pursuant to United States Presidential Executive Order 13224 (“Executive Order”), Seller and Purchaser are required to ensure that they do 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 one party learns that the other is a Blocked Person, the party that is not a Blocked Person may terminate this Agreement by giving written notice to the other party and the Title Company and Purchaser shall receive a return of the Earnest Money Deposit.  This Section 7.3 will survive termination of this Agreement.
Section 7.4.    Easement Estoppel.  It will be a condition to Purchaser’s obligation to consummate Closing that Seller obtain and deliver to Purchaser at least two (2) Business Days prior to Closing, an estoppel certificate (“REA Estoppel”) from Crown Center Redevelopment Corporation, or its successors, (a) identifying the Agreement for Restrictions, Easements and Maintenance of Amenities and Common Areas, dated February 29, 2008 and any amendments thereto (“REA”), (b) stating that, to its knowledge, neither Seller nor the Property is in default under the REA, and (c) stating that no fees or assessments are due and owing thereunder by Seller or with respect to the Property.  In no event shall Seller’s failure to obtain the REA Estoppel in accordance with this Section 7.2 constitute a default by Seller under this Agreement.  Purchaser’s sole and exclusive remedy for any failure to obtain the REA Estoppel is set forth in Section 10.11.

(f)    Purchaser will have the option, in the event all or any Significant Portion of the Real Property or Improvements is so destroyed or damaged, to terminate this Agreement upon notice to Seller given not later than ten (10) days after receipt of Seller’s notice (and the Closing Date shall be extended by up to ten (10) days to allow Purchaser the full allotted time to make such election).

(p)    Such other documents as may be reasonably necessary or appropriate to effect the consummation of the transactions which are the subject of this Agreement, including the Closing Statement. 
Section 10.4.    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 2015 (irrespective of when such taxes and assessments are due and payable), utility bills (except as hereinafter provided), collected Rentals (subject to the terms of (b) below), operating expenses payable by the owner of the Property, including expenses under the Property Agreements, and such other items of income and expense as are customarily prorated in sales transactions involving other properties which are similar to the Property.  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, together with such backup and supporting documentation as Purchaser may reasonably request (including, without limitation, a general ledger and accounts receivable report) to Purchaser for Purchaser’s approval (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) three (3) Business 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 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 Final Proration Date; provided that such reconciliation, as it relates to real estate taxes shall be made within thirty (30) days following the issuance of the tax bills for the Real Property.  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, escalation rentals (which include Tenant’s and Breaktime Tenant’s proportionate share of building operation and maintenance costs and expenses as provided for under the Tenant Lease and the Breaktime Lease, to the extent the same exceeds any expense stop specified in Tenant Lease or the Breaktime 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 the landlord under the Tenant Lease and the Breaktime 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.  For a period of six (6) months after Closing, 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 Tenant or the Breaktime Tenant.  With respect to any Delinquent Rentals received by Purchaser prior to the Final Proration Date (the “Delinquent Rental Proration Period”), Purchaser shall pay to Seller any rent or payment actually collected during the Delinquent Rental Proration Period properly attributable to the period prior to the  Closing Time.  All sums collected by Purchaser during the Delinquent Rental Proration Period, from Tenant and the Breaktime Tenant (excluding (i) Tenant and Breaktime Tenant payments for Operating Expense Recoveries attributable to the period prior to the Closing Time governed by Section 10.4(e) below and (ii) tenant specific billings for tenant work orders and other specific services as described in and governed by Section 10.4(d) below, which shall be payable to and belong to Seller in all events) will be applied first to amounts currently owed by Tenant and Breaktime Tenant to Purchaser (including Delinquent Rentals attributable to the period after the Closing Time), then any collection costs of Purchaser related to Tenant and Breaktime Tenant, and then to prior delinquencies owed by Tenant and Breaktime Tenant to Seller.  Seller shall not be entitled to institute legal actions to pursue Delinquent Rentals after Closing.  Any sums collected by Purchaser 

and due Seller will be held in trust and promptly remitted to Seller, and any sums collected by Seller and due Purchaser will be held in trust and 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 (including any Rentals on account of contributions toward real estate taxes) (collectively, “Operating Expense Recoveries”) for calendar year 2015.  If less amounts have been collected from Tenant and the Breaktime Tenant for Operating Expense Recoveries for calendar year 2015 than would have been owed by Tenant and Breaktime Tenant under the Tenant Lease and the Breaktime Lease if the reconciliations under the Tenant Lease and the Breaktime Lease were completed as of the Closing Time based on the operating expenses incurred by Seller for calendar year 2015 up to the Closing Time (as prorated pursuant to Section 10.4(a) above) such shortfall shall be paid to Seller when collected by Purchaser from the Tenant and the Breaktime Tenant in connection with the final true-up for operating expenses for calendar year 2015.  If more amounts have been collected from Tenant and Breaktime Tenant for Operating Expense Recoveries for calendar year 2015 than would have been owed by Tenant and Breaktime Tenant under the Tenant Lease and the Breaktime Lease if the reconciliations under the Tenant Lease and the Breaktime Lease were completed as of the Closing Time based on the operating expenses incurred by Seller for calendar year 2015 up to the Closing Time (as prorated pursuant to Section 10.4(a) above), Seller will pay to Purchaser at Closing as a credit against the Purchase Price such excess collected amount.  Any Operating Expense Recoveries payable with respect to the month in which Closing occurs or with respect to any prior month, which have not been paid to Seller as of the Closing Date, shall be treated as Delinquent Rentals as provided above.  Seller and Purchaser agree to finalize prorations on or before 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 release Seller from any responsibility to Tenant and Breaktime Tenant or Purchaser for such matters and Purchaser will be solely responsible, from and after Closing, for (i) collecting from Tenant and Breaktime Tenant the amount of any outstanding Operating Expense Recoveries for calendar year 2015 for periods before and after Closing, and (ii) reimbursing Tenant and Breaktime Tenant for amounts attributable to Operating Expense Recoveries for calendar year 2015, as may be necessary based on annual reconciliations for Operating Expense Recoveries for such calendar year.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the actual operating expenses incurred by Seller for calendar year 2015 up to the Closing Time exceed the amount budgeted for such operating expenses as set forth in Seller’s operating budget for calendar year 2015, all Operating Expense Recoveries for calendar year 2015 (other than collected Operating Expense Recoveries for the month in which the Closing occurs) will be reconciled between Seller and Purchaser if and when Purchaser collects such amounts from Tenant or Breaktime Tenant in connection with any final true-up of the same between Purchaser and Tenant or Breaktime Tenant.
(d)    With respect to specific tenant billings for work orders, special items performed or provided at the request of Tenant or Breaktime 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 held in trust and paid to Seller, or Seller may retain such payment if such payment is received by Seller after the Closing Time. 

(e)    Purchaser shall (i) receive a credit at Closing for only those leasing commissions, brokerage commissions, tenant improvement allowances, rent abatements, legal fees and other expenditures incurred in connection with the lease of space in the Property (“Leasing Costs”) identified as a “Seller Leasing Cost” on Exhibit H attached hereto to the extent unpaid as of the Closing Date, (ii) be solely responsible for and shall pay all Leasing Costs (including all Leasing Costs for which Seller has agreed to give Purchaser a credit against the Purchase Price in clause (i) above) to the extent unpaid as of the Closing Date; (iii) be solely responsible for and shall pay all Leasing Costs (for purposes of this Section 10.4(e), “New Tenant Costs”) incurred or to be incurred in connection with any new lease or amendment to, or renewal or expansion of, the Tenant Lease or the Breaktime Lease executed after the Effective Date; (iv) pay to Seller at Closing the portion of the Leasing Costs identified on Exhibit H as payable and/or assumable by Purchaser that Seller has already paid; and (v) be solely responsible for and assume payment of the Leasing Costs identified on Exhibit H as being assumed or paid by Purchaser that have not been paid as of Closing.  In no event shall Seller bear any responsibility for the allowances described in Section 2.02 of the Tenant Lease and Sections 10, 11, 12 and 13 of the Eighth Amendment to Office Lease and no credit against the Purchase Price shall be provided to Purchaser (the same being the sole responsibility of Purchaser following the Closing).  No credit shall be given against the Purchase Price for the Eighth Amendment Commission, which Seller shall pay outside of Closing.
Section 10.5.    Delivery of Real Property.  Upon completion of the Closing, Seller will deliver to Purchaser possession of the Real Property and Improvements (including all keys, books, records and files), subject to the Tenant Lease and the Permitted Exceptions.
Section 10.6.    Closing Costs.  Costs incurred in connection with the Closing will be allocated as follows:
(a)    Purchaser will pay (i) all premium and other costs for the Title Policy and any endorsements to the Title Policy, except for the portion thereof payable by Seller pursuant to Section 10.6(b), (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 and the Title Company’s escrow and closing fees, if any, (v) all recording fees for the Deed and other Closing Documents, and (vi) 1/2 of the cost of any update to the Survey in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.  
(b)    Seller will pay (i) the base premium for the basic Title Policy and the cost of any endorsement with respect to matters for which Seller has agreed to obtain affirmative insurance pursuant to Section 6.2, (ii) the cost of the Survey and 1/2  of the cost of any update to the Survey in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (iii) 1/2 of all of the Title Company’s escrow and closing fees, and (iv) Seller’s attorneys’ fees.  
(c)    The parties hereby agree that no portion of the Purchase Price has been allocated to the Personal Property or the Intangible Personal Property.  In the event that any Authority shall require that any sales tax or other similar tax with respect to any Personal Property or the Intangible Personal Property be paid in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, Purchaser shall be obligated to make all such payments as and when required by any such Authority.  

Upon the request of Seller, Purchaser shall execute and/or deliver such instruments and information as may be necessary in connection with Purchaser’s payment of any such sales or other similar tax.
(d)    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.
(e)    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 10.7.    Post Closing Delivery of Letters.  Immediately following Closing, (a) Seller will deliver to Tenant and Breaktime Tenant (via messenger or certified mail, return receipt requested) a written notice executed by Purchaser and Seller (i) acknowledging the sale of the Property to Purchaser, (ii) acknowledging that Purchaser has received and is responsible for any security deposit under the Tenant Lease and the Breaktime Lease, and (iii) indicating that rent should thereafter be paid to Purchaser and giving instructions therefor (the “Tenant Notice Letters”); (b) Seller will deliver to the City of Kansas City a letter indicating that Seller has transferred the Property to Purchaser within ten (10) days after Closing in accordance with Section 14B of the Development Agreement, and (c) Purchaser will deliver to the City of Kansas City a letter indicating that Purchaser has acquired the Property and elects to continue to use, operate and maintain the Property in accordance with the Development Plan, as defined in the Development Agreement, within six (6) months after Closing in accordance with Section 14B of the Development Agreement.  
Section 10.8.    General Conditions Precedent to Purchaser’s Obligations Regarding the Closing.  In addition to the conditions to Purchaser’s obligations set forth in above in this Article X, the obligation of Purchaser to Close the sale/purchase 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, and all of which shall be deemed waived upon Closing:
(a)    Seller shall have performed in all material respects each of the obligations of Seller set forth in this Agreement as of the date of Closing, including delivery to the Title Company and/or Purchaser of all Closing Documents;
(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 Tenant Estoppel Certificate from Tenant pursuant to Section 7.2 and the REA Estoppel pursuant to Section 7.4; and
(d)    Seller’s representations and warranties made in Section 8.1 shall be true and correct in all material respects as of the Closing as if remade on the Closing Date except with respect to Authorized Qualifications and breaches of representations and warranties that, in the aggregate, are considered 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) Tenant Lease and/or Breaktime Lease 

amendments and new Service Contracts or amendments to Service Contracts executed by Seller in accordance with this Agreement, and (ii) any action taken by Seller in accordance with the express provisions of any of the Tenant Lease, Service Contracts, or Permitted Exceptions which are not prohibited by this Agreement.  The term “Immaterial Events” shall mean facts or events that do not result in a loss of value, damage, claim or expense in excess of the Liability Floor, in the aggregate.  Authorized Qualifications and Immaterial Events shall not constitute a default by Seller hereunder or a failure of a condition precedent to Closing.  
Section 10.9.    Breaches of Seller’s Representations Prior to Closing.
If, prior to 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 Purchase Price.

Section 10.10.    General Conditions Precedent to Seller’s Obligations Regarding the Closing.  In addition to the conditions to Seller’s obligations set forth in this Article X, the obligation of Seller hereunder to Close the sale/purchase transaction hereunder shall be conditioned upon the satisfaction of the following conditions, which may be waived by written notice from Seller to Purchaser and which shall be deemed waived upon Closing:
(a)    Purchaser shall have performed in all material respects each of the obligations of Purchaser set forth in this Agreement as of the date of Closing including delivery to the Title Company of all Closing Documents and the Purchase Price; and
(b)    Purchaser’s representations and warranties shall remain true and correct as of Closing, as if remade on the Closing Date, except with respect to Immaterial Events.
Section 10.11.    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, then Seller shall be entitled to terminate this Agreement by notice thereof to Purchaser and 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, then, subject to Section 10.9, Purchaser shall be entitled to terminate this Agreement by notice thereof to Seller and Title Company.  If this Agreement is so terminated, then Purchaser shall be entitled to receive the Earnest Money Deposit and neither 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 XI     
BROKERAGE
Section 11.1.    Brokers.  Seller represents and warrants that it has agreed to pay to 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.  Other than as stated in the first sentence of this Section 11.1, Purchaser and Seller represent to the other that no real estate brokers, agents or finders’ 

fees or commissions are due or will be due or arise in conjunction with the execution of this Agreement or consummation of this transaction by reason of the acts of such party, and Purchaser and Seller will indemnify, defend and hold the other party harmless from any breaches of representations and warranties in this Section 11.1 and any brokerage or finder’s fee or commission claimed by any person asserting his entitlement thereto at the alleged instigation of the indemnifying party for or on account of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.
ARTICLE XII     
CONFIDENTIALITY
Section 12.1.    Confidentiality.  Each party expressly acknowledges and agrees that, unless and until the Closing occurs, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the terms, conditions, and negotiations concerning the same will be held in the strictest confidence and will not be disclosed except to its Permitted Outside Parties, and except and only to the extent that such disclosure may be necessary for its performance 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 and to governmental authorities to the extent necessary to obtain a so-called Phase I environmental assessment or a so-called “zoning report” with respect to the Property.  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 (a) in connection with that party’s enforcement of its rights following a disagreement hereunder, (b) to the extent that any such information is generally available to the public or is otherwise a matter of public record or (c) was obtained from a source other than Seller, its Affiliates, agents, employees, consultants or Broker, 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 an opinion 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, each party acknowledges and agrees that the other (and entities which directly or indirectly own the equity interests in each party) may disclose in U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and other filings with governmental authorities, financial statements and/or other communications such information regarding the transaction contemplated hereby and any such information relating to the Property as may be necessary or advisable under federal or state securities law, rules or regulations (including SEC rules and regulations), “generally accepted accounting principles” or other accounting rules or procedures or in accordance with such party’s and such direct or indirect owners’ prior custom, practice or procedure but in no event may Seller disclose the name of any Affiliate as to Purchaser in any such filings, financial statements (including any notes thereto) and/or communications.  Without limiting the foregoing, Purchaser may disclose the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and information obtained by Purchaser in connection with the Property without Seller’s prior approval, agreement or consent: (a) to the extent Purchaser or its Affiliates determine, in consultation with its legal counsel, that such disclosure is required by applicable law in connection with any filing by Purchaser or its Affiliates with the SEC or any stock exchange rule applicable to Purchaser or its Affiliates; (b) to the extent Purchaser or its Affiliates determine, in consultation with legal counsel, that such disclosure is required 

in any prospectus, report or other filing made by Purchaser or its Affiliates with the SEC or any stock exchange or in any press release, earnings release or supplemental data related thereto; and (c) to Purchaser’s or its Affiliates’ underwriters, prospective underwriters, placement agents and prospective placement agents which are advised of its confidentiality.  In addition, without Seller’s prior approval, agreement or consent, Purchaser may disclose, in SEC filings and any supplemental data and/or earnings releases related thereto, the fact that it has entered into this Agreement, without identifying the name of Seller and without specifically identifying the Property in a manner similar to the description of the agreement to purchase the industrial property in Memphis, Tennessee contained in Purchaser’s Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on October 27, 2014 and the supplemental data and earnings release related thereto.  One or more of such owners of the direct or indirect interests in Seller 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.
ARTICLE XIII     
REMEDIES
Section 13.1.    Default by Seller.  In the event the Closing of the purchase and sale transaction provided for herein does not occur as herein provided, TIME BEING OF THE ESSENCE, by reason of any default of Seller, Purchaser may, as Purchaser’s sole and exclusive remedies, elect by written notice to Seller within three (3) Business Days following the scheduled Closing Date, either (a) terminate this Agreement, whereupon (i) Purchaser will receive from the Title Company the Earnest Money Deposit, (ii) if Seller’s default is intentional and material, Seller shall be obligated to reimburse Purchaser for its reasonable out of pocket costs incurred in connection with this Agreement or the Property (including but not limited to its legal fees and expenses in connection with the negotiation of this Agreement, and its due diligence costs in regards to the Property) in an amount not to exceed $150,000 in the aggregate, and (iii) 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; provided, however, if specific performance is not available then Purchaser shall be entitled to the remedies under the foregoing clause (a), and in either event, Purchaser hereby waives all other remedies, including any claim against Seller for damages of any type or kind including, without limitation, consequential or punitive damages.  Failure of Purchaser to make the foregoing election within the foregoing three (3) Business Day period shall be deemed an election by Purchaser of the foregoing clause (a).  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 of this Agreement.
Section 13.2.    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 PURCHASER’S FAILURE TO PERFORM ITS OBLIGATIONS AT CLOSING, 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 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) SUCH AMOUNT WILL BE PAID 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 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.
Section 13.3.    Consequential and Punitive Damages.  Seller and Purchaser waive any right to sue the other for any consequential or punitive damages for matters arising under this Agreement, including the right to obtain incidental, special, exemplary or consequential damages in connection with any default of Purchaser or Seller, or otherwise. 
ARTICLE XIV     
NOTICES
Section 14.1.    Notices.  All notices or other communications required or permitted hereunder will be in writing, and will be given by (a) personal delivery, or (b) professional expedited delivery service with proof of delivery, or (c) electronic mail (received upon the sender’s receipt of an acknowledgement of delivery from sender’s machine) sent to the intended addressee at the address set forth below, or to such other address or to the attention of such other person as the addressee will have designated by written notice sent in accordance herewith and will be deemed to have been given either at the time of personal delivery, or, in the case of expedited delivery service, as of the date of first attempted delivery on a Business Day at the address or in the manner provided herein, or, in the case of electronic mail transmission, upon receipt as described above if on a Business Day and, if not on a Business Day, on the next Business Day.

ARTICLE XV     
ASSIGNMENT AND BINDING EFFECT
Section 15.1.    Assignment; Binding Effect.  Prior to Closing, neither Purchaser nor Seller has the right to assign this Agreement without the other’s prior written consent, which shall be given or withheld in the other’s sole discretion.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser and Seller may each assign its rights under this Agreement to an Affiliate of such assigning party without the consent of the non-assigning party, provided that any such assignment does not relieve the assigning party 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 XVI     
PROCEDURE FOR INDEMNIFICATION AND LIMITED SURVIVAL OF REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS
Section 16.1.    Survival of Representations, Warranties, Covenants and Obligations.
(a)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the representations and warranties of Seller set forth in this Agreement and Seller’s liability under any provision of this Agreement or any other agreement executed in connection with this Agreement, including all Closing Documents, will survive the Closing only for the Survival Period, subject only to such longer periods of time, if any, provided in Section 10.4 or for so long as Purchaser provides written notice to Seller of any claim prior to the expiration of the Survival Period and any claim for which notice was timely delivered is filed in any court prior to the expiration of the Survival Period 

and remains pending.  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(a) 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 will not have any right to bring any action against Seller as a result of (i) any untruth, inaccuracy or breach of such representations and warranties under this Agreement or any Closing Documents, or (ii) the failure of Seller to perform its obligations under this Agreement or any Closing Documents, unless and until the aggregate amount of all liability and losses arising out of all such untruths, inaccuracies, breaches and failures exceeds the Liability Floor; provided, however, that, if Purchaser’s damages exceed the Liability Floor, the liability of Seller shall include all damages up to and including such amount (i.e. Purchaser shall be permitted to make claims beginning with “dollar one”).  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 any Closing Documents exceed the Liability Cap; provided, however, the Liability Cap shall not apply to (i) Seller’s liability for attorneys’ fees and costs in connection with such untruths, inaccuracies, breaches and/or failures, (ii) Seller’s obligations under Section 10.4, and/or  (iii) Seller’s obligations under Section 11.1 and none of the foregoing shall be included under the Liability Cap. 
(b)    Seller shall have no liability with respect to any of Seller’s representations, warranties, covenants and obligations herein if, prior to the Closing, Purchaser has actual knowledge of any breach of a representation, warranty, covenant or obligation of Seller, or Purchaser obtains actual  knowledge (from whatever source, including any tenant estoppel certificates, as a result of Purchaser’s due diligence tests, investigations and inspections, or written disclosure by Seller or Seller’s agents and employees) that directly contradicts any of Seller’s representations, warranties, covenants or obligations herein, and Purchaser nevertheless consummates the transaction contemplated by this Agreement and Purchaser has the right not to proceed with the Closing as a result thereof.  Purchaser shall be deemed to have knowledge of the contents of all documents (i) delivered or made available to Purchaser and/or Purchaser’s Licensee Parties, (ii) contained in or referred to in any tenant estoppel certificate, and (iii) referenced in the PTR or any update thereto.
(c)    The Closing Surviving Obligations will survive Closing for the period established by the applicable statute of limitations unless a specified period is otherwise provided in this Agreement.  All other representations, warranties, covenants, obligations and agreements made or undertaken by Seller under this Agreement, unless otherwise specifically provided herein, will not survive the Closing Date but will be merged into the Closing Documents.  The Termination Surviving Obligations shall survive termination of this Agreement for the period established by the applicable statute of limitations unless a specified period is otherwise provided in this Agreement.  The limitations on Seller’s liability contained in this Article XVI are in addition to, and not a limitation of, any limitation on liability provided elsewhere in this Agreement or by law.
ARTICLE XVII     
MISCELLANEOUS
Section 17.1.    Waivers.  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.
Section 17.2.    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, which fees and costs shall not be subject to or counted against, 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 17.3.    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.
Section 17.4.    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, including Exhibits A through M, 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.  The words “herein,” “hereof,” “hereinafter” and words and phrases of similar import refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular Section or Article.  In the event the date on which Purchaser or Seller is required to take any action or give any notice under the terms of this Agreement is not a Business Day, the action will be taken or notice given on the next succeeding Business Day.
Section 17.5.    Counterparts.  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 or electronic mail (in .PDF or similar file) counterparts will collectively constitute a single agreement, and such signatures will be binding upon the party sending the signature by such electronic means when sent.
Section 17.6.    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 either party.  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 17.7.    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 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 17.8.    Governing Law.  THIS AGREEMENT WILL BE CONSTRUED, PERFORMED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF MISSOURI.  THE PARTIES AGREE THAT ANY ACTION IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE BROUGHT AND MAINTAINED IN THE STATE OR FEDERAL COURTS IN KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI, AND THE PARTIES HEREBY CONSENT AND AGREE TO THE JURISDICTION OF SUCH COURTS.
Section 17.9.    No Recording.  The parties hereto agree that neither this Agreement nor any affidavit concerning it will be recorded.  The foregoing, shall not preclude Purchaser from filing a lis pendens in conjunction with a suit for specific performance under Section 13.1 of this Agreement.
Section 17.10.    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 17.11.    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 17.12.    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 17.13.    Limitations on Benefits.

NON-FOREIGN ENTITY CERTIFICATION

Section 1445 of the Internal Revenue Code provides that a transferee of a U.S. real property interest must withhold tax if the transferor is a foreign person.  For U.S. tax purposes (including Section 1445), the owner of a disregarded entity (which has legal title to a U.S. real property interest under local law) will be the transferor of the property and not the disregarded entity.  To inform the transferee that withholding of tax is not required upon the disposition of a U.S. real property interest by HINES REIT 2555 GRAND LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Transferor”), the undersigned hereby certifies the following on behalf of the Transferor:
1.    Transferor is not a foreign corporation, foreign partnership, foreign trust or foreign estate (as those terms are defined in the Internal Revenue Code and Income Tax Regulations);
2.    Transferor is not a disregarded entity as defined in Section 1.1445-2(b)(2)(iii);
3.    Transferor’s U.S. employer identification number is _______________; and
4.    Transferor’s office address is
c/o Hines Interests Limited Partnership
                    
Houston, Texas  __________

Transferor understands that this certification may be disclosed to the Internal Revenue Service and that any false statement made within this certification could be punished by fine, imprisonment, or both.

Under penalties of perjury the undersigned declares that he has examined this certification and that to the best of his knowledge and belief it is true, correct and complete, and the undersigned further declares that he has the authority to sign this document on behalf of the Transferor.
