For the sake of clarity of clause (i) of the preceding sentence, in the event, without Purchaser having delivered to Seller written notice specifying one or more Seller Defaults which are not cured during the Inspection Period, this Agreement is terminated during the Inspection Period (or this Agreement is terminated by virtue of Purchaser not delivering the Notice of Suitability pursuant to Section 8.1 or by virtue of the failure to Purchaser to deliver the Additional Earnest Money in accordance with Section 5.2) then, upon any such termination of this Agreement, the Initial Earnest Money shall be delivered to Seller upon the exercise of such termination right.

Seller and Purchaser acknowledge that a material breach of Seller’s representations and warranties which is not cured as provided in Section 12.1.2 will result in an uncured Seller Default, which, if included in Purchaser’s notice in the foregoing clause (i), will entitle Purchaser to the return of the Initial Earnest Money under this Section 5.1.
5.2.Additional Earnest Money. In the event Purchaser desires to maintain this Agreement in effect after the expiration of the Inspection Period, Purchaser shall deposit with the Escrow Agent Additional Earnest Money in the amount of Five Hundred Thousand and N0/100 Dollars ($500,000.00) within one (1) business day following the expiration of the Inspection Period.

have the right to terminate this Agreement, in which event the Initial Earnest Money shall be paid to Seller, except in the circumstance provided in Section 5.1. After delivery of the Additional Earnest Money in accordance with the terms of this Section 5.2, the Earnest Money shall be refundable to Purchaser only in the event (i) the Closing does not occur solely as a result of the failure to satisfy the Purchaser Closing Conditions (as defined in Section 12.1) on or before the Closing Date or (b) as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement.
5.3.Application of Earnest Money. At the Closing the Earnest Money shall be applied and credited by Seller in reduction of the Purchase Price.
5.4.Investment of Earnest Money. The Earnest Money shall be deposited by the Escrow Agent in an interest bearing account in an insured institution designated or approved by Seller and reasonably acceptable to Purchaser.

Purchaser shall make good faith efforts to collect all such sums on behalf of Seller (which good faith efforts shall be limited to sending tenants bills for the payment of delinquent rent during the first six (6) month period following the date of Closing), but, notwithstanding the aforementioned, Purchaser shall have no duty or obligation to expend any funds or to instigate any legal or other proceedings or dispossessory actions in order to collect such sums, and Seller agrees to bear such reasonable third party costs and expenses (including but not limited to attorneys’ fees and costs of collection of such arrearages) which Purchaser actually incurs and pays in connection with such collection. Seller shall assist Purchaser, if so requested by Purchaser, in preparing bills to Tenants for rents (other than base rents) in arrears as of the Closing Date or not then due and payable but attributable entirely to periods preceding the Closing Date. All payments collected on or after the Closing Date shall be applied first to current amounts due and owing then to delinquent amounts owing, in reverse chronological order of delinquency, with application to the most recent delinquency first, until applied in full. Seller shall have no right to pursue any of its rights and remedies against tenants owing delinquent amounts until the date which is six (6) months after the Closing Date. Seller acknowledges and agrees that in the event that Seller receives any rents or other amounts after the Closing Date, Seller will promptly remit Purchaser’s share of all such amounts to Purchaser. For purposes of this Section 6.4.1.1, “delinquent amounts” shall mean any amounts due and owing Seller before the Closing Date by Tenants under the Leases which are unpaid on the Closing Date and more than thirty (30) days past due; and
(2) To the extent that any additional rent (including, without limitation, estimated payments for operating expenses and/or real estate taxes) (collectively, “Expenses”) is paid by a Tenant to the landlord under its Lease based on an estimated
10
payment basis (monthly, quarterly, or otherwise) for which a future reconciliation of actual Expenses to estimated payments is required to be performed at the end of a reconciliation period, Purchaser and Seller shall make an adjustment at the Closing for the applicable reconciliation period (or periods, if such Lease does not have a common reconciliation period) based on a comparison of the actual Expenses to the estimated payments at the Closing. If, as of the Closing, Seller has received additional rent payments in excess of the amount that a Tenant will be required to pay, based on the actual Expenses as of the Closing, Purchaser shall receive a credit in the amount of such excess. If, as of the Closing, Seller has received additional rent payments that are less than the amount that a Tenant would be required to pay based on the actual Expenses as of the Closing, Purchaser shall deliver to Seller the amount of such deficiency within thirty (30) days of the reconciliation pursuant to which such Tenant’s payments of such deficient amounts are received by Purchaser.
(3) If any Tenant is obligated to pay any additional rent or any of the other items mentioned above, and the year or fiscal period for which such additional rent or such other items is to be computed has not yet expired or if it has expired, payment has not yet been made, then such additional rent or such other items which cannot be estimated or adjusted on the Closing Date shall be adjusted in the following manner within one hundred twenty (120) days after expiration of the applicable lease year or fiscal period or after payment has been made (as the case may be). Purchaser or its representative, together with Seller, shall ascertain the amount of such additional rent or other items, and Purchaser shall pay to Seller, when collected, such proportion thereof as the period prior to the Closing Date within such lease year or fiscal period bears to the entire applicable lease year or fiscal period, less any such amounts which Seller has received on account thereof prior to the Closing Date. The recovery from Tenants of all of or a portion of the costs incurred by Seller and Purchaser with respect to the 2007 operating expenses of property shall be apportioned between Seller and Purchaser in the proportion that such costs have been borne by each of Seller and Purchaser. Purchaser shall make good faith efforts to collect all such sums on behalf of Purchaser and Seller (which good faith efforts shall be limited to sending tenants bills for such amounts for the first six (6) month period following the date of Closing), provided that Purchaser shall not be required to instigate such legal or other proceedings or dispossessory actions in order to collect such sums as Purchaser deems appropriate in its reasonable business judgment, and Seller agrees to bear its proportionate share, corresponding to its proportionate share of such funds, of any reasonable third party costs and expenses (including but not limited to attorneys’ fees and costs of collection of such arrearages) which Purchaser actually incurs and pays in connection with such collection. If the total amount received by the Seller prior to the Closing Date on account thereof exceeds the portion of such rent or other items (when ascertained) allocable to the period prior to Closing, Seller shall pay the excess to Purchaser forthwith.
(4) Utility expense for a particular month shall be prorated based on actual meter readings if possible. Seller and Purchaser shall endeavor to have the meters for utilities read on the day prior to closing and the Seller shall pay for such utilities for the period up to that meter reading, and the Purchaser shall pay for the utilities from and after
11
that reading. For any utilities for which meter readings are not possible, the most recent utility invoice shall be used based on the number of days in the billing cycles, assuming that the utility charges were uniformly incurred in the billing periods. Once the actual utility invoices for the period in which Closing occurs are received, then such Utilities will be reprorated between Purchaser and Seller to reflect the actual amount of such Utilities. Seller shall receive a credit at closing in the amount of any Utility Deposit that will not be refunded to the Seller by the Utility company.
(5) Other operating expenses (other than utility expenses discussed above) shall be prorated based on the number of days prior to the Closing. In the event that, as of the Closing Date, the actual amounts of these expenses cannot be ascertained, then the most recent statements and/or bills shall be used as estimates. When the actual amounts are available, then the other expenses will be re-prorated between the Purchaser and Seller to reflect the actual amount of such other operating expenses.
6.4.1.2.Taxes. All real and personal property taxes and assessments of every kind on the Property (“Taxes”) shall be prorated between Purchaser and Seller as provided in this Section 6.4.1.2. Such proration shall be made on the basis that Seller is responsible for (i) all Taxes for the fiscal years of the applicable taxing authorities occurring prior to the Current Tax Period, and (ii) that portion of Taxes for the Current Tax Period determined on the basis of the number of days which have elapsed from the first day of the Current Tax Period to, but not including, the Closing Date, whether or not the same shall be payable prior to the Closing Date. In the event that as of the Closing Date the actual tax bills for the year or years in question are not available and the amount of Taxes to be prorated as aforesaid cannot be ascertained, then millage rates and assessed valuation of the previous year, with known changes, shall be used, and when the actual amount of Taxes for the year or years in question shall be determinable (after any appeal of the assessed valuation thereof is concluded), then such Taxes will be reprorated between the parties to reflect the actual amount of such Taxes. Seller has advised Purchaser that there are pending appeals and/or litigation with respect to the 2006 Taxes with regard to the Property and the 2007 valuation of the Property for the purpose of Taxes. Any refund of Taxes shall be distributed in accordance with Section 6.4.3 below. Purchaser acknowledges that a refund of the 2006 Taxes will require an adjustment with tenants, which adjustment will be borne by Seller. After the Closing, Purchaser shall bear the cost of any appeal pursued by the Purchaser with respect to the valuation of the property for the purpose of 2007 Taxes. The cost incurred in the appeal of the valuation of the Property for Taxes will be taken into account pursuant to Sections 6.4.1.1(2) and 6.4.3.
6.4.2.Security Deposits. Purchaser shall receive a credit at Closing in the amount of all unapplied Security Deposits listed on the Rent Roll (including any additional Security Deposits received from new Tenants at the Property under Leases entered into after the Date of this Agreement). Unless and until this Agreement is terminated, Seller shall not apply any security deposits reflected in the Rent Roll to any obligations under the Leases, unless such obligations are more than thirty (30) days’ delinquent. If any Security Deposits are in the form of a letter of credit, Seller shall deliver the original thereof to Purchaser at the Closing, together with such transfer documents and fees as may be required by the issuer thereof in order to reissue same in Purchaser’s name after the Closing. Purchaser shall and does hereby agree to hold harmless, indemnify, and defend Seller against any obligation to return any Security Deposit for which Purchaser has received a credit as aforesaid.
12
6.4.3.Tax Appeals. If Seller has engaged consultants for the purpose of protesting the amount of taxes or the assessed valuation for certain tax periods for the Property (“Protest Proceedings”) any cash refunds or proceeds actually distributed (collectively, “Cash Refunds”) will be apportioned as described below. Any Cash Refunds (including interest thereon) on account of a favorable determination, after deduction of costs and expenses incurred for such Protest Proceedings and payment of any reimbursements owing to Tenants, shall be: (i) the property of Seller to the extent such Cash Refunds were for taxes paid by Seller applicable to a period prior to the Closing Date, (ii) prorated between Purchaser and Seller for taxes paid for a period during which the Closing Date occurred, and (iii) the property of Purchaser for taxes for a period after the Closing Date. Seller shall have the obligation to refund to any Tenants of the Property in good standing as of the date of such Cash Refund, any portion of such Cash Refund paid to it which may be owing to such tenants, which payment shall be paid to Purchaser within fifteen (15) business days of delivery to Seller by Purchaser of written confirmation of such tenants’ entitlement to such Cash Refunds. Purchaser shall have the obligation to refund to tenants of the Property in good standing as of the date of such Cash Refund, any portion of such Cash Refund paid to it which may be owing to such tenants. Seller and Purchaser agree to notify the other in writing of any receipt of a Cash Refund within fifteen (15) business days of receipt of such Cash Refund. To the extent either party obtains a Cash Refund, a portion of which is owed to the other party, the receiving party shall deliver the Cash Refund to the other party within fifteen (15) business days of its receipt. Seller has pending an appeal of the assessed valuation of the Property for the year 2006. Seller will bear the cost of the appeal proceedings with respect to the 2006 assessed valuation, subject to recovery out of any Cash Refund which may be obtained in any such proceeding. Seller may elect in Seller’s sole discretion to terminate such appeal at any time. In the event of any such termination, no Cash Refunds would be received for application pursuant to this Section.
6.4.4.Leasing Costs. Purchaser shall be credited at Closing for the amount of all unsatisfied costs and expenses which were incurred, or are to be incurred, in connection with any and all leases executed, modified or extended by Seller prior to the Date of this Agreement, including, without limitation, all costs and expenses for tenant-improvements (either completed or to be completed) and brokerage commissions (collectively, “Pre-Closing Leasing Costs”), but excluding any costs or expenses and commissions with respect to any renewals or extensions or any expansion not exercised as of the Closing. Seller shall remain responsible for satisfying any Pre-Closing Leasing Costs which were not credited (but should have been credited) to Purchaser at Closing. As of the date of this Contract the Pre-Closing Leasing Costs in respect of the following Tenants are set forth below:
(a) Morgan Stanley, $82,775;
(b) Siderca Corporation, $305,910; and
(c) White MacKillop & Bahan, $36,271.
The actual Pre-Closing Leasing Costs to be paid to Purchaser or credited to the Purchase Price shall be the amounts unpaid as of the Closing Date.
13
6.4.5.Capital Costs. Purchaser shall be credited at Closing for the amount of all amounts which are unsatisfied amounts for all capital contracts, contracts pertaining to works of improvement or other contracts existing prior to Closing, pertaining to the Property (regardless of when the work, services or other obligations were performed or are to be performed) (“Pre-Closing Capital Costs”). Seller shall remain responsible for satisfying any Pre-Closing Capital Costs which were not credited to Purchaser (but were supposed to be credited to Purchaser) at Closing.
6.4.6.Procedure. The prorations and payments to be made at the Closing under the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.4 shall be made on the basis of a written statement or statements to Purchaser by Seller prior to the Closing and approved by Purchaser (which may include estimates with respect to matters not known at Closing). In the event any prorations, apportionments or computations made under this Section 6.4 shall prove to be incorrect for any reason, then either party shall be entitled to an adjustment to correct the same, provided that it makes written demand on the one from whom it is entitled to such adjustment within three (3) months after the date such item is to be prorated pursuant to this Section 6.4. The prorations and payments to be made after Closing under the foregoing provisions of Section 6.4 shall be made on the basis of a written statement or statements to Purchaser by Seller as soon as the information becomes available and approved by Purchaser. The obligations of Purchaser and Seller under this Section 6.4 shall survive Closing.
7.TITLE EXAMINATION AND OBJECTIONS; FAILURE TO CURE.
7.1.Title Examination and Objections. Within five (5) days after the Date of this Agreement, Seller, at Seller’s sole cost and expense, shall cause the Title Agent on behalf of and as agent for the Title Underwriter to deliver to Purchaser a current commitment for title insurance (the “Title Commitment”) for the Real Property, with Purchaser as the proposed insured, and legible copies of all documents of record (including plats) referred to in the Title Commitment as exceptions to title to the Real Property (“Exception Documents”). It shall be Purchaser’s responsibility to obtain any updated or recertified Survey of the Real Property as Purchaser may desire. Upon the receipt of the last of the Title Commitment, the Exception Documents and the existing Survey (whether or not updated or recertified), Purchaser may deliver to Seller during the Inspection Period written notice (“Objection Notice”) of any Title Objections disclosed by the Title Commitment and the existing Survey (as may be updated). Within five (5) calendar days after receipt of the Objection Notice, Seller may (but shall not be obligated to) respond to Purchaser in writing (“Seller’s Title Notice”) as to any Title Objection which Seller elects to cure. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, Seller has no obligation to cure or satisfy any Title Objections contained in the Objection Notice. Seller’s failure to deliver Seller’s Title Notice to Purchaser within the time period specified above shall be deemed to constitute Seller’s election not to eliminate or cure any Title Objection set forth in the Objection Notice. If Seller elects (or is deemed to have elected) not to eliminate or cure any Title Objection, then Purchaser shall have the right, by written notice delivered to Seller within five (5) business days of receipt of Seller’s Title Notice or within five (5) business days after the expiration of the time period during which Seller is entitled to deliver Seller’s Title Notice, whichever occurs first, to either (i) waive its prior notice as to the Title Objections which Seller
14
has elected (or is deemed to have elected) not to cure or (ii) terminate this Agreement;provided that, no termination of this Agreement under this Section 7.1 shall entitle Purchaser to a refund of the Initial Earnest Money. All Title Objections disclosed by the Title Commitment and the existing Survey, or raised in Purchaser’s notice of objections which Seller does not expressly elect in writing to cure shall, if Purchaser does not terminate this Agreement the end of the Inspection Period pursuant to Section 8.1 below, be deemed to be Permitted Exceptions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser disapproves all monetary and financing liens and encumbrances securing the payment of any monetary amount (other than liens for non-delinquent real property taxes) and, if the parties proceed to the Closing, Seller shall be obligated to discharge at the Closing, at the Seller’s sole cost and expense, any title exceptions that represent liens securing the payment of any monetary amounts.
7.2.Failure to Cure Title Objections. Should Seller fail to satisfy or cure all valid Title Objections (other than those deemed to be Permitted Exceptions as provided in Section 7.1 above) that Seller has previously agreed or is required to cure by the Closing Date, as postponed, if appropriate, then Purchaser shall have as its sole right and remedy, at Purchaser’s election to be made on the Closing Date, either to terminate this Agreement and thereupon be entitled to a refund of the Earnest Money from Seller, or to waive those Title Objections which Seller failed to satisfy or cure and proceed to close the sale of the Property contemplated herein and accept the Real Property subject to such Title Objections with no reduction in the Purchase Price. Should Seller fail to convey Good and Indefeasible Title to the Property subject only to the Permitted Exceptions, the Purchaser Closing Conditions will not be satisfied unless Purchaser agrees to waive (with no obligation to do so) all Title Objections other than the Permitted Exceptions. In the event Purchaser does not waive such Title Objections other than the Permitted Exceptions and this Agreement is terminated, the sole obligation of Seller shall be to refund to Purchaser the Earnest Money, and upon Purchaser’s receipt of the Earnest Money, this Agreement shall terminate the parties hereto shall have no further rights or obligations hereunder, except for any right or obligation under any provisions hereof which are specifically stated to survive the termination of this Agreement. Except with those Title Objections that Seller has agreed, or is otherwise obligated, to remove pursuant to Section 7.1, Seller shall not be required and is not obligated hereby to bring any action or proceeding or otherwise to incur any expense to render the title to the Real Property free of any Title Objections. The acceptance by Purchaser of the Deed to the Real Property shall be deemed to be a full performance of and discharge of every agreement and obligation on the part of Seller to be performed pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, except those pursuant to any provisions which are herein specifically stated to survive the Closing or any which pursuant to any other document or instrument executed by Seller at Closing are specifically stated to survive the Closing.
8.ACCESS TO AND EXAMINATION OF THE PROPERTY; CONDITION OF THE PROPERTY.
8.1.Inspection of the Property. Purchaser shall have until 5:00 pm, Houston, Texas time twenty (20) days after the Date of this Agreement (the “Inspection Period”) to review, inspect and investigate each and every aspect of the Property, including and not limited to the structure of the Improvements, the Leases, site plans, and environmental testing of the Property, either independently or through agents, contractors, representatives or experts of Purchaser’s
15
choosing (each, “Purchaser Party”, and collectively, with Purchaser, the “Purchaser Parties”), as Purchaser considers necessary or appropriate. In the event, in Purchaser’s sole judgment and discretion, that the Property is suitable for Purchaser’s intended use, Purchaser may send written notice (the “Notice of Suitability”) to Seller on or before the expiration of the Inspection Period. If Purchaser fails to send Seller the Notice of Suitability on or before the last day of the Inspection Period, this Agreement shall automatically terminate and the Initial Earnest Money shall be disbursed in accordance with Section 5.1 and neither party will have any further liability hereunder, except for those obligations which expressly survive the termination hereof. Purchaser’s closing of the acquisition of the Property shall conclusively evidence Purchaser’s complete satisfaction with such review and independent investigation. If Purchaser does send such Notice of Suitability, the contingencies set forth in Section 7.1 (except to the extent Seller has previously agreed to cure Title Objections by the Closing Date) and Section 8.1 shall be deemed satisfied. Seller shall cooperate with Purchaser in making the Property and underlying materials and records available for inspection. Purchaser acknowledges to Seller that the Purchaser is sophisticated and knowledgeable in the field of real estate development and investment and agrees with Seller that Purchaser has had sufficient opportunity to thoroughly investigate the Property and all aspects of this transaction. In the event Purchaser has actual knowledge of any default by Seller in the performance of any of Seller’s obligations during the Inspection Period, failure of Purchaser to terminate this Agreement on or before the end of the Inspection Period will constitute an irrevocable waiver of any of such defaults on the part of Seller. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, after the Inspection Period through Closing, Purchaser shall continue to have the right to perform investigations pertaining to the Property as set forth in this Article 8; provided, however, that Purchaser shall have no right to terminate this Agreement on the basis of such investigations except as may otherwise be expressly set forth elsewhere in this Agreement.
8.2.Procedure. In connection with any entry by any Purchaser Party onto the Property, Purchaser shall give Seller reasonable advance notice of such entry and shall conduct such entry and any inspections in connection therewith so as to minimize, to the greatest extent possible, interference with Seller’s business and the business and occupancy of the Tenants and otherwise in a manner reasonably acceptable to Seller. Purchaser acknowledges that any such examinations or inspections of the Property pursuant to this Section 8.2 or otherwise are subject to the rights of all Tenants under their respective Leases, and Purchaser agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to conduct such inspections or examinations in such a manner so as to honor the rights of the Tenants and to prevent disruption of the ordinary operation of the Tenants’ business on the Property. Without limiting the foregoing, prior to any entry to perform any on-site testing or inspection of structural, subsoil or engineering conditions of the Property, Purchaser shall give Seller written notice thereof, including the identity of the persons or entities (company name is sufficient) who will perform such testing or inspections and the proposed scope thereof. Purchaser shall not be permitted to undertake inspections beyond a customary Phase I Site Assessment nor soil or groundwater testing without having first received the prior written consent of Seller, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. If Purchaser takes, or causes to be taken, any sample from the Property in connection with the foregoing, Purchaser shall provide to Seller a portion of such sample being tested to allow Seller, if it so chooses, to perform its own testing. Seller or its representative may, at Seller’s option, be present to observe any testing or other inspection performed on the Property.
16
If the transaction does not close for any reason , Purchaser shall promptly deliver to Seller copies of all reports relating to any testing or other inspection of the Property performed by or on behalf of Purchaser; provided, however, that Purchaser makes no representation or warranty of any kind as to such reports, testing or inspection.
8.3.Insurance. Purchaser shall maintain public liability and property damage insurance insuring Purchaser and Seller against all liability arising out of any entry or inspections of the Property pursuant to the provisions hereof. Each such insurance policy shall be in the amount of no less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) combined single limit for injury to or death of one or more persons in an occurrence, and for damage to tangible property (including loss of use) in an occurrence. The policy(ies) maintained, or caused to be maintained, pursuant to this Section 8.3 shall insure the contractual liability of Purchaser covering the indemnities herein and shall (i) name Seller as additional insured party and (ii) contain a provision that the insurance provided thereunder shall be primary and noncontributing with any other insurance available to Seller. Purchaser shall provide Seller with evidence of such insurance coverage prior to any entry or inspection of the Property by Purchaser or any other Purchaser Party. If Closing does not occur, Purchaser shall repair any damage to the Property caused by any entry onto the Property by any Purchaser Party. Purchaser shall indemnify and hold Seller harmless from and against any loss, cost, liability and expense arising out of or relating to any entry on the Property by any Purchaser Party, except for claims resulting from the sole negligence, gross negligence or tortuous misconduct of Seller; provided that the foregoing indemnity will not extend to or include pre-existing conditions merely discovered as a result of Purchaser’s or any other Purchaser Party’s inspection of the Property except to the extent any such condition is exacerbated or caused by Purchaser or any other Purchaser Party. The foregoing indemnity shall survive the Closing, or, if the Closing does not occur, survive the termination of this Agreement.
8.4.No Governmental Contact. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, unless expressly required by a governmental authority or applicable law, neither Purchaser nor any other Purchaser Party shall contact any governmental authority regarding any Hazardous Substance or Waste on or the environmental condition of the Property without prior notice and full disclosure to Seller. Seller hereby consents to such contact with governmental authorities as may be necessary to complete Purchaser’s Phase I Site Assessment of the Property. Seller shall have the right to have a representative present when Purchaser has, or causes to be had, any such contact with any governmental authority.
8.5.Confidentiality. Purchaser agrees that it will treat (i) this Agreement and all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement (including without limitation the Purchase Price) and (ii) all information obtained from Seller pursuant to the terms of this Agreement that is not available from other sources and is not generally known by the public as strictly confidential, and will not disclose any of such information to any other person prior to Closing; provided, however, Purchaser may disclose such matters (a) as required by applicable law; (b) as necessary to enforce the terms of this Agreement; and/or (c) to Purchaser’s investors, potential investors, potential lenders, attorneys, accountants, consultants, directors, officers, shareholders, partners and advisors. Purchaser agrees to indemnify and hold Seller harmless of and from any and all liability or damage sustained by Seller caused as a result or arising out of Purchaser’s (and Purchaser’s investors’, potential investors’, potential lenders’, attorneys’, accountants’,
17
consultants’, directors’, officers’, shareholders’, partners’ and advisors’) use or dissemination of any such matter in violation of this Agreement. In the event Purchaser does not purchase the Property pursuant to this Agreement for any reason , Purchaser shall return to Seller the originals and all copies of all material relating to the Property furnished to Purchaser by or on behalf of Seller pursuant to this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained herein shall impair Purchaser’s (or its permitted assignee’s) right to disclose information relating to the Property (a) to its lender, if any, (b) to any due diligence representatives and/or consultants that are engaged by, work for or are acting on behalf of, any securities dealers and/or broker dealers evaluating Purchaser or its permitted assignees, (c) in connection with any filings (including any amendment or supplement to any S-11 filing) with governmental agencies (including the SEC) by any real estate investment trust (“REIT”) holding an interest (direct or indirect) in any permitted assignee of Purchaser, and (d) to any broker/dealers in the REIT’s broker/dealer network and any of the REIT’s investors.
8.6.Property Documents. To assist Purchaser’s feasibility determination, within three (3) business days after the Date of this Agreement, Seller, at its sole cost and expense, shall (to the extent it has not already done so) deliver to Purchaser at its offices listed in Article 22 hereof, or otherwise make available to Purchaser at the Property, the following documents for the Property, to the extent the same are in Seller’s possession or under Seller’s control: (i) the Leases, lease abstracts and files, including landlord and tenant correspondence and all pending leases, lease proposals and letters of intent under negotiation between landlord and prospective tenants; (ii) the Service Contracts and all other contracts and agreements affecting the Property, including, without limitation, those pertaining to service, labor, construction, management, leasing, maintenance, and brokerage; (iii) 2004, 2005, and 2006 year-end operating statements and 2007 year-to-date operating statements; (iv) current rent rolls, which shall include rent steps, CPI increases and base year expense stops; (v) current aging and delinquency reports, if any, and other income and rental concessions regarding the operations of the Property; (vi) all existing title materials and surveys relating to the Property; (vii) all existing environmental and soils assessments, correspondence and reports, (viii) copies of the property tax bills for the current and the three (3) prior years; (ix) utility bills for the Property for the last twelve (12) months preceding the date hereof; (x) all existing plans, surveys, drawings and specifications, (xi) the most recent preliminary title report or title insurance policy, (xii) copies of all documents regarding litigation, liens or threatened claims, (xiii) all building reports, structural reports, architectural studies, grading plans, topographical maps, and engineering data and reports, (xiv) a list of personal property existing in which Seller has an interest, (xv) copies of all insurance policies (other than title insurance policies), (xvi) all building and occupancy permits, including certificates of occupancy, (xvii) a list of any outstanding violations or pending violations, (xviii) all licenses, permits and maps and easements and pending applications to governmental entities, and (xix) a list of historical capital expenditures for the prior three (3) years, which list shall include a description of the expenditure and the date performed, together with the amount expended in connection therewith; and (xx) all other documents, materials and information in Seller’s possession or control pertaining to the Property or its condition ((i) through (xx) collectively, the “Property Documents”).

It is specifically agreed that, in the event of an asserted material breach of a representation or warranty of Seller, neither Seller nor Purchaser shall be obligated to enter into an agreement to provide for a reduction in the Purchase Price or payment to Purchaser in order to cure such Seller Default.

26
any contingency set forth in Sections 12.1.1 through 12.1.5 has not been satisfied or waived within the required time then Purchaser shall be entitled as its sole remedy to terminate this Agreement by written notice to Seller on or prior to the date set forth herein for the satisfaction of such contingency, and thereupon receive a refund of the Earnest Money from Seller, and upon Purchaser’s receipt of the Earnest Money, this Agreement shall terminate and the parties hereto shall have no further rights or obligations at closing, hereunder, except for any right or obligation under any provision hereof which expressly survives the termination of this Agreement.

16.1.Seller’s Default. If the sale and purchase of the Property contemplated by this Agreement is not consummated on account of the Seller’s default hereunder, the Earnest Money shall be promptly returned to Purchaser by Seller on demand, and the Purchaser shall have, in addition to any other right or remedy expressly provided hereunder, the right, as its sole and exclusive remedy on account of such default or breach by Seller, to either (i) terminate this Agreement and receive back the Earnest Money, or (ii) in the case of the failure of Seller to convey the Property as provided in this Agreement, subject to Section 7.2, seek specific performance of Seller’s obligation to convey the Property in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement; provided that any right of specific performance on the part of Purchaser shall be expressly contingent upon Purchaser not being in default in the performance of any and all of Purchaser’s obligations under this Agreement and commencing such action for specific performance within thirty (30) days following the scheduled Closing Date under this Agreement. In the event Purchaser has the right to specific performance of this Agreement and fails to file an appropriate action for specific performance in a court with jurisdiction for such action within the thirty (30) day period provided, Purchaser shall then be irrevocably deemed to have waived such right of specific performance in which event, Purchaser’s sole remedy shall be as set forth in the foregoing clause (i). In the event the Closing does not occur, Purchaser shall not have the right to proceed against Seller for monetary damages (other than under Section 17.1) and Purchaser hereby waives and releases any right to (and hereby covenants that it shall not) assert any remedies against Seller other than (a) those listed in this Section 16.1 on account of any asserted default or breach by Seller and (b) in enforcement of any claim under Section 17.1.
16.2.Purchaser’s Default. If Purchaser fails to purchase the Property when it is obligated to do so under the terms of this Agreement, then Seller shall be entitled, as its sole and exclusive remedy hereunder, to take and use for its own account the Earnest Money as full liquidated damages for such default of Purchaser, the parties hereto acknowledging that it is impossible to estimate more precisely the damages which might be suffered by Seller upon Purchaser’s default. Seller’s retention of said Earnest Money is intended not as a penalty, but as full liquidated damages. The right to retain such sums as full liquidated damages is Seller’s sole and exclusive remedy in the event of default hereunder by Purchaser (other than with respect to claims by Seller arising under Sections 8.3 and 17.1), and Seller hereby waives and releases any right to (and hereby covenants that it shall not) sue Purchaser: (i) for specific performance of this Agreement; or (ii) to recover actual damages (other than with respect to claims by Seller arising under Sections 8.3 and 17.1).

Purchaser shall not assign, sell, convey, or otherwise transfer any or all its rights under this Agreement without the prior written consent of Seller, which consent may be withheld in the sole and absolute discretion of Seller. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser shall have the right, without Seller’s consent, to assign this Agreement, in whole but not in part, to an entity that is a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) (or that is wholly owned directly or indirectly by a REIT) for which Purchaser or an affiliate of Purchaser acts as the investment advisor. No assignment of this Agreement shall be effective unless Purchaser notifies Seller of such assignment at least three (3) business days prior to the Closing Date, and no assignment of this Agreement shall relieve the Purchaser of its duties and responsibilities under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Purchaser’s assignee or nominee has satisfied all of Purchaser’s obligations under this Agreement as of the Closing Date (including, without limitation, the payment of the Purchase Price to Seller, subject to permitted prorations), and has signed a written assumption of all of Purchaser’s obligations under this Agreement, effective upon Closing, Purchaser (but not the assignee) shall automatically be released from any further obligations or responsibilities under this Agreement.

Unless otherwise expressly provided herein, the last day of any period of time described herein shall be deemed to end at 5:00 P.M. Houston, Texas time.
28.DELAY NOT A WAIVER. No failure or delay by a party to exercise any right it may have by reason of the default of the other party shall operate as a waiver of default or modification of this Agreement or shall prevent the exercise of any right by the first party while the other party continues to be so in default.
29.Intentionally Omitted.
30.NO PARTNERSHIP. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed to create a partnership or joint venture between the parties or their successors in interest.
31.NO PUBLIC DISCLOSURE. Purchaser shall make no public disclosure of the terms of this transaction, either before or after Closing, without the prior written consent of Seller (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), except that Purchaser may discuss the transaction in confidence with proposed joint venturers or prospective lenders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained herein shall impair Purchaser’s (or its permitted assignee’s) right to disclose information relating to this Agreement or the Property (a) to any due diligence representatives and/or consultants that are engaged by, work for or are acting on behalf of, any securities dealers and/or broker dealers evaluating Purchaser or its permitted assignees, (b) in connection with any filings (including any amendment or supplement to any S-11 filing) with governmental agencies (including the SEC) by any REIT holding an interest (direct or indirect) in any permitted assignee of Purchaser, and (c) to any broker/dealers in the REIT’s broker/dealer network and any of the REIT’s investors.
32.SECTION 1031 EXCHANGE. Either party may consummate the purchase or sale (as applicable) of the Property as part of a so-called like kind exchange (an “Exchange”) pursuant to § 1031 of the Code, provided that: (a) the Closing shall not be delayed or affected by reason of the Exchange nor shall the consummation or accomplishment of an Exchange be a condition precedent or condition subsequent to the exchanging party’s obligations under this Agreement, (b) the exchanging party shall effect its Exchange through an assignment of this Agreement, or its rights under this Agreement, to a qualified intermediary, (c) neither party shall be required to take an assignment of the purchase agreement for the relinquished or replacement

Neither party shall by this Agreement or acquiescence to an Exchange desired by the other party have its rights under this Agreement affected or diminished in any manner or be responsible for compliance with or be deemed to have warranted to the exchanging party that its Exchange in fact complies with § 1031 of the Code. In connection with any such exchange, the non-exchanging party shall not be obligated to execute any documentation other than a simple consent and/or acknowledgement.
33.LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. Purchaser hereby acknowledges and agrees that in no event shall any limited partner of Seller ever be liable to Purchaser as a result of a breach of this Agreement, and Purchaser agrees to look solely to Seller for satisfaction of any claim, loss or damage, even if Seller is hereinafter dissolved.

34.NO PROCESSING. Without Seller’s prior written consent, until the Closing, Purchaser shall not make any application to any governmental agency for any permit, approval, license or other entitlement for the Property or the use or development thereof, or have any communications with any governmental agency or official relating to the condition (environmental or otherwise) of the Property; provided, however, that Purchaser shall not be prohibited from communicating with the applicable governmental agencies regarding the zoning condition of the Property.
35.RECORDATION. Purchaser and Seller agree not to record this Agreement or any memorandum hereof.
36.PROPER EXECUTION. The submission by Seller to Purchaser of this Agreement in unsigned form shall be deemed to be a submission solely for Purchaser’s consideration and not for acceptance and execution. Such submission shall have no binding force and effect, shall not constitute an option, and shall not confer any rights upon Purchaser or impose any obligations upon Seller irrespective of any reliance thereon, change of position or partial performance. The submission by Seller of this Agreement for execution by Purchaser and the actual execution and delivery thereof by Purchaser to Seller shall similarly have no binding force and effect on Seller unless and until Seller shall have executed this Agreement and a counterpart thereof shall have been delivered to Purchaser, and the Initial Earnest Money shall have been received by Seller.
37.EXPIRATION. This Agreement shall constitute an offer by Seller to Purchaser open for acceptance by Purchaser until 5:00 P.M. Houston, Texas time on July 27, 2007, by which time two (2) unaltered facsimile counterparts of this Agreement, duly executed by Purchaser, must have been received by Seller. If such written acceptance is not so received, this
35
Agreement, unless the period for acceptance is extended in writing by Seller, shall be deemed withdrawn and of no further force and effect.
38. [Intentionally Deleted.]
39.SERVICE CONTRACTS. Prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period, Purchaser shall notify Seller as to which Service Contracts, if any, Purchaser will assume for the Property and which Service Contracts for the Property shall be terminated by Seller at Closing. Purchaser will assume the obligations first accruing and arising from and after the Closing Date under those Service Contracts that are not in default as of the Closing Date and which Purchaser has elected in writing to assume. Seller shall terminate at Closing all Service Contracts that are not so assumed (to the extent terminable).
40.RECORDATION AND DELIVERY OF FUNDS AND DOCUMENTS. When Purchaser and Seller have satisfied their respective Closing obligations under Sections 6.2 and 6.3 hereof and each of the conditions under Article 12 hereof have either been satisfied or waived, Escrow Agent shall promptly undertake or cause to be undertaken all of the following in the manner indicated and as more particularly instructed in Purchaser and Seller’s Closing instructions:
