(ii) Ten (10) days following receipt by
the Escrow Agent of a certificate (the "Seller's

(B) Objection to Certificate.
(i) In the event that Purchaser objects
to Seller's Certificate or Seller objects to Purchaser's
Certificate as provided in Subsections 4(A) (ii) or (iii)
above, then unless Purchaser and Seller resolve
completely such dispute within thirty (30) days from the
date of such objection and within that period advise the
Escrow Agent by joint written notice from Purchaser and
Seller of the resolution of such dispute and of the
disposition to be made by the Escrow Agent of the Earnest
Money (in which event the Escrow Agent shall release and
deliver the Earnest Money in accordance with such written
notice), then such dispute shall be resolved, upon the
initiation by any party hereto in an appropriate
proceeding, by an appropriate court. Furthermore, any of
the parties hereto may request that the Escrow Agent
tender the Earnest Money to the court in which such
proceeding has been commenced and, provided that such
court is authorized by applicable law to receive such
tender and consents thereto (if such consent is
necessary), the Escrow Agent shall tender the Earnest

receives joint written notice from Purchaser and Seller
advising the Escrow Agent of the resolution of such

disposition to be made of the Earnest Money, in which
event the Escrow Agent shall release and deliver the
Earnest Money in accordance with such written notice.
(ii) All reasonable costs and expenses
incurred or sustained by Purchaser and Seller (including,

entirely borne by and paid for by the party or parties
against whom judgment is rendered.
(C) Provisions Regarding Escrow Agent.
(i) The duties and obligations of the
Escrow Agent shall be determined solely by the express
provisions of this Agreement and the Escrow Agent shall
not be liable except for the performance of such duties
and obligations as are specifically set out in this
Agreement. Escrow Agent shall be fully protected in
acting on or relying upon any written advise,
certificate, notice, direction, instruction, request, or
other paper or document which the Escrow Agent in good
faith believes to be genuine and to have been signed or
presented by the proper party or parties, and may assume
that any person purporting to give advise, certificate,
notice, direction, instruction or request or other paper
or document has been duly authorized to do so.
(ii) The Escrow Agent shall be fully
protected in acting on or relying upon any written
advice, certificate, notice, direction, instruction,

certificate, notice direction, instruction or request or
other paper or document has been duly authorized to do
so.
(iii) The Escrow Agent shall not be
liable for any error of judgment, or for any act done or

of legal counsel in the event of any dispute or question
as to the construction of any of the provisions of this
Agreement or its duties hereunder, and it shall incur no
liability and shall be fully protected in respect of any

accordance with the opinion of such counsel. If a
controversy arises between one or more parties hereto, as
to whether or not or to whom the Escrow Agent shall
deliver the Earnest Money or any portion thereof or as to
any other matter arising out of or relating to this
Agreement or the Earnest Money, the Escrow Agent shall
not be required to determine such controversy and need
not make any delivery of the Earnest Money or any portion
thereof but may retain the Earnest Money without
liability to anyone until the rights of the parties to
the dispute shall have been finally resolved by mutual
agreement, or by order, judgment or decree, accompanied
by an opinion of counsel of the party requesting release
of the Earnest Money to the effect that such order,
judgment or decree represents a final adjudication of the
rights of the parties by a court of competent
jurisdiction of the United States of America and the time
for appeal thereof, if any has expired without an appeal
thereof having been noticed, filed or perfected, and the
Escrow Agent shall be under no duty whatsoever to
institute or defend any such proceedings. The Escrow
Agent shall be entitled to assume that no such
controversy has arisen unless it has received conflicting
written notices from the parties to this Agreement or a
written notice form any person that such a controversy
has arisen which refers specifically to this Agreement
and identifies by name and address the adverse claimants
to the controversy.
(v) Seller and Purchaser will jointly and
severally reimburse and indemnify the Escrow Agent for,
and hold it harmless against, any loss, liability or
expense, including, without limitation, reasonable
attorneys' fees, incurred without bad faith, willful
misconduct or gross negligence on the part of the Escrow
Agent or its employees and arising out of or in
connection with its acceptance of, or the performance of
its duties and obligations under, this Agreement as well
as the costs and expenses of defending against any claim
or liability arising out of or relating to this
Agreement.
(vi) The Escrow Agent hereby accepts its
appointment and agrees to act as the Escrow Agent under
the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
5. Good, Insurable and Indefeasible Title. On the
Closing Date (hereinafter defined) Seller will have and
will convey to Purchaser the Property by Special Warranty
Deed warranting against and agreeing to defend against
anyone lawfully claiming by, through, or under Seller.
Such conveyance shall be made subject to the Permitted
Exceptions (see APPENDIX 2).
6. Survey. Within fifteen (15) days after a title
commitment has been issued, Purchaser, at Purchaser's
expense, shall cause to be certified to Purchaser and the
title company, an as-built survey certified substantially
in conformity with APPENDIX 3 (the "Survey"). If the
Survey does not meet the certification of Appendix 3
Purchaser shall give written notice detailing the
specific failure within five business (5) days of receipt
of the Survey. Seller will then cause the surveyor to
remedy the deficiency.
7. Owner's Title Policy Commitment. Within ten
(10) days after the effective date of this Agreement,
Seller shall cause, at Purchaser's expense, Chicago Title
to issue and actually deliver a Commitment for Title (the
"Title Commitment") to Purchaser, accompanied by true and
legible copies of all recorded instruments creating or
evidencing encumbrances against all or part of the
Property and committing the title company to furnish the
Title Policy (ALTA Form B) to Purchaser at Closing. The
Title Policy shall be in the amount of the Purchase
Price. If any encumbrance or other matters referred to
in the Title Commitment are reasonably unacceptable to
Purchaser, Purchaser shall give written notice to Seller
on or before five (5) days after the date of Purchaser's
receipt whereupon Seller may, but shall not be obligated
to cure the same; provided, however, Seller shall be
obligated to satisfy any liens encumbering the Property
which have arisen by, through or under Seller or which
are created after the effective date of this Agreement.
At the time of closing, Seller shall have the right to
use the proceeds of sale to satisfy any existing liens.
In the event Seller is unable to cure such objectionable
matters on or before the expiration of five (5) business
days thereafter, Purchaser may elect to either (a)
terminate this Agreement whereupon all Earnest Money
(hereinafter defined) shall be refunded to Purchaser and
neither party hereto shall have any further rights,
duties or obligations one to the other hereunder or (b)
waive such uncured objections and proceed to Closing
without reduction in the Purchase Price. All matters
approved by Purchaser pursuant hereto are herein referred
to as the "Permitted Exceptions".
8. Inspection. From the date hereof until 4:00 PM
CST on December 28, 1998, Purchaser, its agents,
contractors and employees shall have the right, subject
to the rights of tenants in possession, to enter the
Property to conduct such studies, tests, inspections and
analysis as Purchaser deems advisable or necessary.
Purchaser acknowledges to Seller that Purchaser is an
astute investor and having completed such due diligence
investigation as Purchaser has seen fit, approves all
matters relating to the inspection of the Property and
shall accept the Property on the closing date in its "as
is" condition without any warranty as to the Property's
physical or financial condition except as set forth
herein. Seller agrees to cooperate with Purchaser in
such efforts. Copies of any analysis, studies, reports,
test results, or other documentation given to Purchaser
by Seller will be returned to Seller should this
Agreement be terminated for any reason other than as a
result of a default by Seller. Purchaser shall have an
absolute right to terminate this Agreement with or
without cause and without recourse or forfeiture of any
Earnest Money up to 4:00 PM CST on December 28, 1998.
9. Covenants of Seller. Seller covenants and
agrees with Purchaser that, between the date hereof and
the date of Closing (both dates inclusive):
(a) Immediately upon obtaining knowledge of
the institution of any proceedings for the condemnation
or other taking of the Property, or any portion thereof,
by exercise of the power of eminent domain, Seller will
notify Purchaser of the pendency of such proceedings. If
any such proceedings are commenced, Purchaser shall have
twenty (20) days after receipt of Seller's written notice
or notices specifying the exact description of the
portions of the Property to be taken to elect to
terminate this Agreement by giving written notice to
Seller, and, if and to the extent required to permit such
full 20-day election period, the Closing Date shall be
automatically extended. Unless Purchaser duly exercises
such termination option, Seller shall enter into no
settlement agreement with the condemning authority
without first obtaining Purchaser's approval thereof and
all proceeds of condemnation or conveyance in lieu of
condemnation shall be assigned to Purchaser at Closing.
(b) Without the prior written consent of
Purchaser, Seller will not create, place or permit to be
created or placed, or through any act or failure to act,
acquiesce in the placing of, or allow to remain, any deed
of trust, mortgage, security interest, encumbrance,
charge or voluntary or involuntary lien (other than
unrecorded liens for routine repairs which will be
satisfied by Seller prior to Closing), whether statutory,
constitutional or contractual, against any part of the
Property (except for liens for ad valorem taxes on the
Property which are not delinquent and the lien of any non-
delinquent governmental assessment for public
improvements).
(c) Seller agrees forthwith to furnish to
Purchaser a true and correct rent roll of the Property,
dated currently, and listing the name of the tenant(s),
the termination date of the lease agreement(s) (including
any renewal options), the amount of monthly rent, the
amount of any security deposit(s), the date and amount of
the last rent increase (or decrease) and whether there is
any rent or other balances past due. All rent deposits,
security deposits in the Seller's possession, advance
rent deposits, prepaid rent and other similar sums in
respect of the Leases will be shown on the rent roll and
will be identified and disclosed and will be delivered or
credited to Purchaser at the Closing. All defaults and
delinquencies, if any, known, to Seller as of the Closing
Date will be disclosed to Purchaser by Seller.
(d) Seller will deliver possession of the
Property at the Closing free of any contract or agreement
with any employee, manager, agent, independent contractor
or other person or entity for the furnishing of any goods
or services (including, but not limited to, management
and lease brokerage services) under which Purchaser or
his successors or assigns might be held bound except only
those contracts, if any, which Purchaser agrees in
writing to assume; and Seller, at its expense, will pay
and discharge all obligations under all such contracts or
agreements as exist to the date of Closing. Seller
agrees to indemnify Purchaser against all such contracts
and agreements and all claims arising under any of them
except only to the extent, if any, Purchaser assumes in
writing obligations accruing under any such contracts
from and after Closing. Seller agrees to indemnify and
hold Purchaser harmless against any claim that Purchaser
is obligated or liable for the payment or performance of
any obligations under any contract or agreement entered
into by Seller in anyway in respect of the ownership,
operation or maintenance of the Property except only to
the extent, if any, that Purchaser assumes same in
writing.
(e) Seller will not enter into any new
agreements or commitments including leases and renewals
for the Property (except continued routine maintenance
and repair) affecting the Property without prior notice
to and approval of Purchaser.
(f) Seller will deliver possession of the
Property to Purchaser at Closing in the same condition as
it exists on the date of this Agreement, ordinary wear
and tear only excepted.
(g) Seller agrees to allow Purchaser the right
to contact the tenants at the Property for the purpose of
attempting to obtain Estoppel certificates from tenants
listed on the rent roll prior to Closing. Seller, as a
condition of Closing however, will not be obligated to
provide Estoppel certificates from tenants to Purchaser.

this transaction shall take place in escrow at the office
of the Escrow Agent on or before December 31, 1998,
