5. Certain Representations and Warranties of Purchaser. Purchaser hereby represents and warrants to Seller as follows:

6. Closing.
(a) Sale Notice. At any time after the date hereof and 20 days prior to the hereinafter described Outside Date, Purchaser may notify (the “Sale Notice”) Seller that it desires that the closing (“Closing”) of the sale of the Property hereunder occur and shall specify the closing date (“Closing Date”) for such sale, which Closing Date shall be a business day no earlier than 10 business days after delivery of the Sale Notice and no later than January 29, 2009 (as the same may be extended, the “Outside Date”), unless the parties mutually agree in writing, in the sole and absolute discretion of each, to extend the Outside Date. If a Sale Notice has not been received by Seller on or prior to the date 20 days prior to the Outside Date, a Sale Notice shall be deemed to have been sent by Purchaser and received by Seller specifying a closing date of the Outside Date.
(b) Closing. The Closing of the sale of the Property shall take place commencing at 10:00 a.m. (Chicago time) at the office of First American Title Insurance Company, 30 North LaSalle Street, Chicago, Illinois (the “Title Company”), or at another place mutually agreed upon by the parties, on the Closing Date. If the Closing does not occur by the Outside Date, Seller or Purchaser may, at its option, provided and on the condition that the failure of the Closing to occur by the Outside Date is not due to a default by it in the performance of its obligations under this Agreement, elect to terminate this Agreement by delivery of written notice of termination to the other party, upon which delivery this Agreement shall immediately terminate, and neither Purchaser nor Seller shall have any further obligations or liabilities hereunder except for those obligations and liabilities that expressly survive termination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties need not attend the Closing in person and shall have the right to close the transaction contemplated by this Agreement pursuant to written closing escrow instructions, so long as such instructions are consistent with the terms hereof.
(c) Seller Closing Documents. At the Closing, Seller shall execute and deliver to Purchaser the following documents:
(i) A deed in favor of Purchaser or any affiliate of Purchaser that is designated by Purchaser as the desired grantee at least ten (10) days in advance of the Closing Date (Purchaser or such designated affiliate is herein referred to as the “Transferee”; in the absence of any timely designation of an affiliate of Purchaser as the desired grantee as aforesaid, Purchaser shall be the “Transferee”), in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Deed”), executed by Seller;

(g) Further Assurances. Seller and Purchaser shall, from time to time after Closing, upon request, execute such additional documents as are reasonably necessary to convey, assign and transfer the Property pursuant to this Agreement and otherwise complete the Transactions contemplated by this Agreement, provided that such documents are consistent with the terms of this Agreement, and do not increase Seller’s or Purchaser’s obligations hereunder or
subject Seller or Purchaser to additional liability not otherwise contemplated by this Agreement. Additionally, if this Agreement is terminated, either party may request from time to time thereafter confirmation of such termination from the other party, upon which request, the non-requesting party shall promptly confirm to the requesting party in writing (by a recordable instrument if requested by the requesting party) that this Agreement has been terminated.
7. Prorations and Adjustments. Purchaser and Seller hereby acknowledge and agree that, except with respect to any tax escrows relating to the Property that are held by Seller pursuant to the Master Lease for which Purchaser shall receive a credit against the Purchase Price at Closing, there shall be no prorations or adjustments at Closing to the Purchase Price or to any amounts required to be paid at the Closing pursuant to the Termination Agreement.
8. Closing Costs. Without limiting the terms of Section 9(c), Purchaser shall be responsible for the payment of (a) the fees and costs of Purchaser’s counsel and investment advisors representing it in connection with the Transactions, (b) the fees and expenses of Seller’s counsel representing it in connection with the Transactions and incurred on or prior to the date of this Agreement, and (c) all recording fees, transfer taxes, intangible taxes, documentary stamp taxes and title insurance costs payable in connection with the Transactions.

(ii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the Closing hereunder occurs and Purchaser fails to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement (arising either before or after the Closing) and such obligation expressly survives the Closing pursuant to the terms hereof, then Seller shall have all rights and remedies at law, in equity or under this Agreement, including, without limitation, the right to sue for damages (excluding, however, special, punitive or consequential damages).
(b) Seller Default.
(i) If Seller fails to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement that are required to be performed at or prior to the Closing (including, without
limitation, the delivery of the Deed) and, in the case of any such failure that occurs prior to the Closing Date, such failure is not cured on or prior to the earlier of the Closing Date or three (3) days after Seller’s receipt of written notice of such failure from Purchaser, then Purchaser shall have the right, as its sole and exclusive remedy for such failure, either to (x) terminate this Agreement by delivering written notice thereof to Seller, in which event neither party shall have any further obligations or liabilities hereunder except for those liabilities and obligations that expressly survive termination and except further that Seller shall be obligated to reimburse Purchaser for Purchaser’s reasonable out-of-pocket costs (not to exceed $100,000.00) incurred from and after the execution of this Agreement and in connection with preparing for the Closing, or (y) specifically enforce the terms of this Agreement.
(ii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the Closing hereunder occurs and Seller fails to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement (arising either before or after the Closing) and such obligation expressly survives the Closing pursuant to the terms hereof, then Purchaser shall have all rights and remedies available at law, in equity or under this Agreement, including, without limitation, the right to sue for damages (excluding, however, special, punitive or consequential damages).
(c) Collection Costs. If any legal action, arbitration or other similar proceeding is commenced to enforce or interpret any provision of this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to an award of its attorneys’ fees and expenses.

If Seller violates the terms of this Section 13(k), then, upon Purchaser’s election, this Agreement shall be deemed ipso facto terminated on account of Seller’s default. Relative to the foregoing, each party agrees, at the written request of the other party, to execute a memorandum of this Agreement which consists in substance only of (i) a written notice for the public records of Seller’s agreement to sell, and Purchaser’s agreement to purchase, the Property and none of the other terms of this Agreement and (ii) an express agreement by Seller and Purchaser that such memorandum shall, automatically and without further action of the parties, expire and be of no further force or effect as of February 28, 2009, and, upon the execution of such a memorandum by the parties, either party may, at its expense and prior to February 28, 2009, record the same.
