The provisions of this Section 10.4(a) will survive the Closing for twelve (12) months. (b) Purchaser will receive a credit on the Closing Statement for the prorated amount (as of the Proration Time) of all Rental previously paid to or collected by Seller and attributable to any period following the Proration Time. After the Closing, Seller will cause to be paid or turned over to Purchaser all Rental, if any, received by Seller after Closing and attributable to any period following the Proration Time. "RENTAL" as used herein includes fixed monthly rentals, additional rentals, percentage rentals, escalation rentals (which include Tenant's share of building operation and maintenance costs and expenses as provided for under the Lease, to the extent the same exceeds any expense stop specified in such Lease), retroactive rentals, all administrative charges, utility charges, tenant or real property association dues, storage rentals, special event proceeds, temporary rents, telephone receipts, locker rentals, vending machine receipts and other sums and charges payable by Tenant under the Lease or from other occupants or users of the Property. Rental is "DELINQUENT" when it was due prior to the Closing Date, and payment thereof has not been made on or before the Proration Time. Delinquent Rental will not be prorated. Purchaser agrees to use good faith collection procedures with respect to the collection of any Delinquent Rental, but Purchaser will have no liability for the failure to collect any such amounts and will not be required to pursue legal action to enforce collection of any such amounts owed to Seller by Tenant. All sums collected by Purchaser from and after Closing from Tenant (excluding tenant specific billings for tenant work orders and other specific services as described in and governed by Section 10.4(d) below) will be applied first to current amounts owed by such Tenant to Purchaser and then to delinquencies owed by such Tenant to Seller. Any sums due Seller will be promptly remitted to Seller. (c) At the Closing, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser a list of additional rent, however characterized, under the Lease, including without limitation, real estate taxes, electrical charges, utility costs and operating expenses (collectively, "OPERATING EXPENSES") billed to Tenant for the calendar year in which the Closing occurs (both on a monthly basis and in the aggregate), the basis on which the monthly amounts are being billed and the amounts incurred by Seller on account of the components of Operating Expenses for such calendar year. Upon the reconciliation by Purchaser of the Operating Expenses billed to Tenant, and the amounts actually incurred for such calendar year, Seller and Purchaser shall be liable for overpayments of Operating Expenses, and shall be entitled to payments from Tenant, as the case may be, on a PRO-RATA basis based upon each party's period of ownership during such calendar year. (d) With respect to specific tenant billings for work orders, special items performed or provided at the request of a Tenant or other specific services, which are collected by Purchaser after the Closing Date but relate to the foregoing specific services rendered by Seller prior to the Proration Time, then notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Purchaser shall cause the first amounts collected from Tenant specifically for such special services (as opposed to regular scheduled rental payments) to be paid to Seller on account thereof, so long as Seller identifies same prior to Closing. (e) Notwithstanding any provision of this Section 10.4 to the contrary, Purchaser will be solely responsible for any leasing commissions, tenant improvement costs or 24 other expenditures due with respect to any amendments, renewals and/or expansions of the Lease first arising, accruing and payable following the Closing Date. (f) Purchaser shall receive a credit for any taxes paid from Tenant for any real estate taxes paid in advance by Tenant to Seller pursuant to the operation of Section 10.1(b) of the Lease or otherwise. SECTION 10.5 COSTS OF TITLE COMPANY AND CLOSING COSTS. Costs of the Title Company and other Closing costs incurred in connection with the Closing will be allocated as follows: (a) Seller shall pay Seller's attorney's fees and one-half (1/2) of escrow fees if any, will pay the base premium for the Title Policy, and the cost of the Updated Survey. In addition, Seller shall pay the commission to the Broker as set forth in Section 16.1 below. (b) Purchaser shall pay (i) the costs of recording (including documentary fees) the Deed to the Property and all other documents; (ii) the cost of any additional coverage under the Title Policy or endorsements to the Title Policy that are desired by Purchaser; (iii) all premiums and other costs for any mortgagee policy of title insurance, if any, including but not limited to any endorsements or deletions; (iv) Purchaser's attorney's fees; and (v) one-half (1/2) of escrow fees, if any. (c) Any other costs and expenses of Closing not provided for in this Section 10.5 shall be allocated between Purchaser and Seller in accordance with the custom in the area in which the Property is located. SECTION 10.6 POST-CLOSING DELIVERY OF TENANT NOTICE LETTERS. Immediately following Closing, Purchaser will deliver to Tenant a Tenant Notice Letter, as described in Section 10.2(e). SECTION 10.7 LIKE-KIND EXCHANGE. In the event that Seller shall elect to effectuate the Closing as a "like-kind" exchange under Section 1031 of the Code, Purchaser agrees to cooperate and assist Seller in all reasonable respects (at no cost to Purchaser other than incidental attorneys' fees and with no adjustment to the Evaluation Period or the Closing Date hereunder) in order that the exchange so qualifies as a "like-kind" exchange under Section 1031 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated, or to be promulgated, thereunder. ARTICLE XI CONDEMNATION AND CASUALTY SECTION 11.1 CASUALTY. If, prior to the Closing Date, all or a Significant Portion of the Real Property and Improvements is destroyed or damaged by fire or other casualty, Seller will notify Purchaser of such casualty. Purchaser will have the option to terminate this Agreement upon notice to Seller given not later than fifteen (15) days after receipt of Seller's notice. If this Agreement is terminated, the Earnest Money Deposit and all interest accrued thereon will be returned to Purchaser and thereafter neither Seller nor Purchaser will have any further rights or obligations to the other hereunder except with respect to the Termination Surviving Obligations. If Purchaser does not elect to terminate this Agreement or less than a Significant Portion of the Real Property and Improvements is destroyed or damaged as aforesaid, Seller will not be obligated to repair such damage or destruction but (a) Seller will assign and turn over to Purchaser the insurance proceeds net of reasonable collection costs (or if such have not been 25 awarded, all of its right, title and interest therein) payable with respect to such fire or other casualty and (b) the parties will proceed to Closing pursuant to the terms hereof without abatement of the Purchase Price, except that Purchaser will receive credit for any insurance deductible amount. In the event Seller elects to perform any repairs as a result of a casualty which can be completed prior to Closing, Seller will be entitled to deduct its reasonable costs and expenses from any amount to which Purchaser is entitled under this Section 11.1, which right shall survive the Closing. Seller will have no right to elect to perform any repairs after the Closing. SECTION 11.2 CONDEMNATION OF PROPERTY. (a) In the event of (i) any condemnation or sale in lieu of condemnation of all of the Property; or (ii) any condemnation or sale in lieu of condemnation of greater than $500,000.00, Purchaser will have the option, to be exercised within fifteen (15) days after receipt of notice of such condemnation or sale, of terminating Purchaser's obligations under this Agreement, or electing to have this Agreement remain in full force and effect. In the event that either (i) any condemnation or sale in lieu of condemnation of the Property is for less than $500,000.00, or (ii) Purchaser does not terminate this Agreement pursuant to the preceding sentence, Seller will assign to Purchaser any and all claims for the proceeds of such condemnation or sale to the extent the same are applicable to the Property, and Purchaser will take title to the Property with the assignment of such proceeds and subject to such condemnation and without reduction of the Purchase Price. Should Purchaser elect to terminate Purchaser's obligations under this Agreement under the provisions of this Section 11.3, the Earnest Money Deposit and any interest thereon will be returned to Purchaser and neither Seller nor Purchaser will have any further obligation under this Agreement, except for the Termination Surviving Obligations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if any eminent domain or condemnation proceeding is instituted (or notice of same is given) solely for the taking of any subsurface rights for utility easements or for any right-of-way easement, and the surface may, after such taking, be used in substantially the same manner as though such rights have not been taken, Purchaser will not be entitled to terminate this Agreement as to any part of the Property, but any award resulting therefrom will be assigned to Purchaser at Closing and will be the exclusive property of Purchaser upon Closing. ARTICLE XII CONFIDENTIALITY SECTION 12.1 CONFIDENTIALITY. Seller and Purchaser each expressly acknowledge and agree that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the terms, conditions, and negotiations concerning the same will be held in the strictest confidence by each of them and will not be disclosed by either of them except to their respective legal counsel, accountants, consultants, officers, partners, directors, and shareholders or as otherwise permitted hereunder, and except and only to the extent that such disclosure may be necessary or advisable for their respective performances hereunder. Purchaser further acknowledges and agrees that, unless and 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 Licensee Parties) without the prior written consent of Seller, unless such disclosure is required by law, rule or regulation. 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 or this Agreement in response to lawful process or subpoena or other valid or enforceable order of a 26 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. In addition, prior to or as a part of the Closing, any release to the public of information with respect to the sale contemplated herein or any matters set forth in this Agreement will be made only in the form approved by Purchaser and Seller and their respective counsel, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The provisions of this Article XII will survive the Closing or any termination of this Agreement. ARTICLE XIII REMEDIES SECTION 13.1 DEFAULT BY SELLER. In the event the Closing and the transactions contemplated hereby do not occur as herein provided by reason of any default of Seller, Purchaser may, as Purchaser's sole and exclusive remedy, elect by notice to Seller within ten (10) Business Days following the Closing Date, either of the following: (a) terminate this Agreement, in which event Purchaser will receive from the Escrow Agent the Earnest Money Deposit, together with all interest accrued thereon, and Purchaser shall be entitled to obtain appropriate actual damages; or (b) obtain specific performance of this Agreement against Seller and recover from Seller the costs incurred by Purchaser in so obtaining such specific performance. Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected to terminate this Agreement and receive back the Earnest Money Deposit if Purchaser fails to file suit for specific performance against Seller in a court having jurisdiction in the county and state in which the Property is located, on or before ninety (90) days following the Closing Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section 13.1 will limit Purchaser's remedies at law, in equity or as herein provided in pursuing remedies of a breach by Seller of any of the Termination Surviving Obligations. Purchaser specifically waives its rights to seek any punitive, speculative, or consequential damages. 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 by reason of any default of Purchaser, Purchaser and Seller agree it would be impractical and extremely difficult to fix the damages which Seller may suffer. Purchaser and Seller hereby agree that (a) an amount equal to the Earnest Money Deposit, together with all interest accrued thereon, is a reasonable estimate of the total net detriment Seller would suffer in the event Purchaser defaults and fails to complete the purchase of the Property, and (b) such amount 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. The payment of such amount as liquidated damages is not intended as a forfeiture or penalty but is intended to constitute liquidated damages to Seller. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained herein will limit Seller's remedies at law, in equity or as herein provided in the event of a breach by Purchaser of any of the Termination Surviving Obligations. 27 ARTICLE XIV NOTICES SECTION 14.1 NOTICES.

Except as set forth below, Purchaser will not have the right to assign this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, Purchaser may assign all of its rights under this Agreement to an entity which directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with, Purchaser, including, without limitation, a single purpose entity created by Purchaser for the purpose of holding title to the Property. In the event of any such assignments, whether accomplished as a matter of right or upon the consent of the other party, the original parties to this Agreement shall not be released.

Seller agrees to pay to Capital Development, LLC (the "BROKER") a brokerage commission pursuant to a separate agreement by and between Seller and Broker. Purchaser and Seller represent that they have not dealt with any brokers, finders or salesmen, in connection with this transaction other than Broker, and agree to indemnify, defend and hold each other harmless from and against any and all loss, cost, damage, liability or expense, including reasonable attorneys' fees, which either party may sustain, incur or be exposed to by reason of any claim for fees or commissions made through the other party. The provisions of this Article XVI will survive any Closing or termination of this Agreement. ARTICLE XVII ESCROW AGENT SECTION 17.1. ESCROW. (a) Escrow Agent will hold the Earnest Money Deposit in escrow in an interest bearing account of the type generally used by Escrow Agent for the holding of escrow funds until the earlier of (i) the Closing, or (ii) the termination of this Agreement in accordance with any right hereunder. In the event Purchaser has not terminated this Agreement by the end of 29 the Evaluation Period, the Earnest Money Deposit shall be non-refundable to Purchaser, except as otherwise set forth herein, and shall be credited against the Purchase Price at the Closing. All interest earned on the Earnest Money Deposit shall be paid to the party entitled to the Earnest Money Deposit. In the event this Agreement is terminated prior to the expiration of the Evaluation Period, the Earnest Money Deposit and all interest accrued thereon will be returned by the Escrow Agent to the Purchaser. In the event the Closing occurs, the Earnest Money Deposit and all interest accrued thereon will be released to Seller, and Purchaser shall receive a credit against the Purchase Price in the amount of the Earnest Money Deposit, including the interest. In all other instances, Escrow Agent shall not release the Earnest Money Deposit to either party until Escrow Agent has been requested by Seller or Purchaser to release the Earnest Money Deposit and has given the other party five (5) Business Days to dispute the release of the Earnest Money Deposit. If no dispute is so delivered, Escrow Agent shall disburse the Earnest Money Deposit as directed. Purchaser represents that its tax identification number, for purposes of reporting the interest earnings, is 58-2368838. Seller represents that its tax identification number, for purposes of reporting the interest earnings, is 22-3623386. (b) Escrow Agent shall not be liable to any party for any act or omission, except for bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct, and the parties agree to indemnify Escrow Agent and hold Escrow Agent harmless from any and all claims, damages, losses or expenses arising in connection herewith. The parties acknowledge that Escrow Agent is acting solely as stakeholder for their mutual convenience. In the event Escrow Agent receives written notice of a dispute between the parties with respect to the Earnest Money Deposit and the interest earned thereon (the "ESCROWED FUNDS"), Escrow Agent shall not be bound to release and deliver the Escrowed Funds to either party but may either (i) continue to hold the Escrowed Funds until otherwise directed in a writing signed by all parties hereto or (ii) deposit the Escrowed Funds with the clerk of any court of competent jurisdiction. Upon such deposit, Escrow Agent will be released from all duties and responsibilities hereunder. Escrow Agent shall have the right to consult with separate counsel of its own choosing (if it deems such consultation advisable) and shall not be liable for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel. (c) Escrow Agent shall not be required to defend any legal proceeding which may be instituted against it with respect to the Escrowed Funds, the Property or the subject matter of this Agreement unless requested to do so by Purchaser or Seller and is indemnified to its satisfaction against the cost and expense of such defense. Escrow Agent shall not be required to institute legal proceedings of any kind and shall have no responsibility for the genuineness or validity of any document or other item deposited with it or the collectibility of any check delivered in connection with this Agreement. Escrow Agent shall be fully protected in acting in accordance with any written instructions given to it hereunder and believed by it to have been signed by the proper parties. ARTICLE XVIII MISCELLANEOUS SECTION 18.1 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. 30 SECTION 18.2 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 certain fees from the other party including all reasonable attorneys' fees and costs resulting therefrom. For purposes of this Agreement, the term "attorneys' fees" or "attorneys' fees and costs" shall mean the fees and expenses of counsel to the parties hereto, which may include printing, photoscopying, 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 18.2 shall survive the entry of any judgment, and shall not merge, or be deemed to have merged, into any judgment. SECTION 18.3 CONSTRUCTION. Headings at the beginning of each article and section are solely for the convenience of the parties and are not a part of this Agreement. Whenever required by the context of this Agreement, the singular will include the plural and the masculine will include the feminine and vice versa. This Agreement will not be construed as if it had been prepared by one of the parties, but rather as if both parties had prepared the same. All exhibits and schedules referred to in this Agreement are attached and incorporated by this reference, and any capitalized term used in any exhibit or schedule which is not defined in such exhibit or schedule will have the meaning attributable to such term in the body of this Agreement. In the event the date on which Purchaser or Seller is required to take any action under the terms of this Agreement is not a Business Day, the action will be taken on the next succeeding Business Day. SECTION 18.4 COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which, when assembled to include an original signature for each party contemplated to sign this Agreement, will constitute a complete and fully executed original. All such fully executed original counterparts will collectively constitute a single agreement. SECTION 18.5 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 18.6 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.

SECTION 18.12 LIMITATIONS ON BENEFITS. It is the explicit intention of Purchaser and Seller that no person or entity other than Purchaser and Seller and their permitted successors and assigns is or shall be entitled to bring any action to enforce any provision of this Agreement against any of the parties hereto, and the covenants, undertakings and agreements set forth in this Agreement shall be solely for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable only by, Purchaser and Seller or their respective successors and assigns as permitted hereunder.
