Within five (5) business days after the Effective Date, Purchaser shall notify Seller in writing in the event that Purchaser has not yet received any Due Diligence Item (which notice shall specify any Due Diligence Item not yet received) or Purchaser shall be deemed to have received all of the Due Diligence Items. Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that except for such items which are in the public records, the Due Diligence Items are proprietary and confidential in nature and have been or will be made available to Purchaser solely to assist Purchaser in determining the feasibility of purchasing the Property. Purchaser agrees not to disclose the Due Diligence Items or any of the provisions, terms or conditions thereof to any party outside of Purchaser's organization except: (i) to Purchaser's accountants, attorneys, lenders, prospective lenders, investors and/or prospective investors (collectively, the "PERMITTED OUTSIDE PARTIES") in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or (ii) as may be required by law. In permitting Purchaser and the Permitted Outside Parties to review the Due Diligence Items to assist Purchaser, Seller has not waived any privilege or claim of confidentiality with respect thereto and no third party benefits of any kind, either expressed or implied, have been offered, intended or created by Seller and any such claims are expressly rejected by Seller and waived by Purchaser. At such time as this Agreement is terminated for any reason other than Seller's default, Purchaser shall return to Seller all of the Due Diligence Items and any and all copies 3 Purchaser has made of the Due Diligence Items, along with copies of any and all reports, tests or studies relating to the Property that Purchaser has obtained. In the event this Agreement is terminated as a result of Seller's default, Purchaser shall return all the Due Diligence Items and any and all copies Purchaser has made of the Due Diligence Items, except for copies of such Due Diligence Items that are directly related to or evidence such Seller default. Purchaser's obligations under this Section 4 shall survive the termination of this Agreement. Purchaser acknowledges that most of the Due Diligence Items were prepared by third parties other than Seller and in most instances, were prepared prior to Seller's ownership of the Property. Purchaser further acknowledges and agrees that except as specifically set forth herein: (i) neither Seller nor any of its partners, agents, employees or contractors have made any warranty or representation regarding the truth, accuracy or completeness of the Due Diligence Items or the sources thereof and Purchaser has not relied on the truth or completeness of the Due Diligence Items; and (ii) Seller has not undertaken any independent investigation as to the truth, accuracy and completeness of the Due Diligence Items and is providing the Due Diligence Items or making the Due Diligence Items available to Purchaser solely as an accommodation to Purchaser. 5. CONDITIONS TO PURCHASER'S OBLIGATIONS. (i) During, but in no event later than the expiration of, the Inspection Period, Purchaser shall give Seller written notice indicating whether the Due Diligence Items, the condition of the Property, or title thereto is unsatisfactory and specifying any matters disclosed therein which are not satisfactory or to which Purchaser otherwise objects (the "OBJECTION NOTICE"). In the event Seller fails to receive the Objection Notice timely, Purchaser shall be deemed to have accepted the condition of the Property as disclosed in the Due Diligence Items, at which time, Purchaser's Deposit shall become non-refundable but for Seller's default. (ii) In the event that either: (i) Purchaser indicates in the Objection Notice that the Property or the Due Diligence Items are not satisfactory in any material respect; or (ii) Purchaser discovers and informs Seller in writing of or Seller informs Purchaser of any change in the status of title to the Property occurring after the Effective Date and resulting in an encumbrance thereon in addition to the Lease and the Permitted Exceptions (each a "TITLE DEFECT"), Seller may promptly undertake to cure the items specified in the Objection Notice or eliminate any such Title Defect to the reasonable satisfaction of Purchaser and/or, to the extent possible, cause the Title Company to insure over any of such items or Title Defect to the satisfaction of Purchaser and accordingly modify the Title Commitments. In the event Seller elects not to effect such cure or is either unable to do so or have the Title Company so insure over Purchaser's objections within ten (10) days after receipt by Seller of the Objection Notice or notice of any Title Defect, Purchaser may, at its option: (1) waive any of its objections to the condition of the Property described in the Due Diligence Items and set forth in the Objection Notice or relating to the Title Defect, without any adjustment in the Purchase Price; or (2) terminate this Agreement, in either event by giving prompt written notice thereof to Seller. In the event Purchaser elects to terminate this Agreement, the Deposit shall be returned to Purchaser and neither Seller nor Purchaser shall have any further obligations under this Agreement, except as expressly set forth herein. 4 (iii) Upon expiration or Purchaser's earlier waiver of the Inspection Period, Seller will make a one time request from Tenant for a current estoppel certificate and a subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement ("SNDA") in the form contemplated by the Leases, if any. If the form of Tenant estoppel certificate and SNDA is not prescribed by the Leases and Purchaser submits to Seller the form of estoppel and SNDA either preferred by it or required by its lender, if any, prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period, Seller will submit such form of estoppel and SNDA to each Tenant if such form is reasonable as determined by Seller. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, in the event Tenant fails to provide the estoppel and/or SNDA required by the Lease or alleges that there are outstanding material events of default under the Lease which cannot be resolved to Purchaser's reasonable satisfaction by the Closing Date, then Purchaser's sole remedy shall be to terminate this Agreement and receive the prompt return of the Deposit. Seller shall be under no obligation to update such estoppel certificate and/or SNDA received from Tenant. (iv) Upon expiration or waiver of the Inspection Period, Seller will make a one time request from the Ground Landlord for a current estoppel certificate for the Property (the "LANDLORD ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATE") in the form set forth on the attached EXHIBIT "C" (which incorporates the terms of Section 36 of the Ground Lease). Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, in the event that the Ground Landlord fails to provide the Landlord Estoppel Certificate or alleges that there are outstanding events of default under the Ground Lease which cannot be resolved to Purchaser's reasonable satisfaction by the Closing Date, then in that event Purchaser's sole remedy shall be to terminate this Agreement and receive the prompt return of its Deposit. Seller shall be under no obligation to update the Landlord Estoppel Certificate. 6. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF SELLER.

If Purchaser is so advised and Purchaser fails to terminate this Agreement within five (5) days after having knowledge of such the existence of any untrue material representation or warranty, Purchaser shall be deemed to have waived the breach of such representation or warranty and shall have no further rights or remedies as a result of the same.

If, prior to Closing, Purchaser received written notice from Seller or from any other source that any material representation or warranty of Seller is untrue and cannot be remedied or Purchaser becomes aware that any material representation or warranty of Seller is untrue and can not be remedied, Purchaser shall, as Purchaser's sole and exclusive remedy, be entitled to terminate this Agreement by written notice delivered to Seller on or before the Closing, in which event the Deposit shall be refunded to Purchaser, and except for the terms and provisions of this Agreement which specifically 6 survive the termination of this Agreement, the parties shall have no further obligations hereunder. If Purchaser is so advised and Purchaser fails to terminate this Agreement within five (5) days after having knowledge of such the existence of any untrue material representation or warranty, Purchaser shall be deemed to have waived the breach of such representation or warranty and shall have no further rights or remedies as a result of the same. Seller does not, by this Agreement, represent or warrant that there will be no changes in any of the matters referred to in Seller's representations or warranties after the Effective Date through the acts and/or omissions of persons other than Seller, and shall have no liability or responsibility in the event that any representation or warranty becomes false or misleading as a result of any change in circumstances after the Effective Date. 7.

(b) From and after the Effective Date and until the date of Closing, Seller shall promptly give Purchaser written notice of any change in the status of title to the Property, which either changes the nature of any Permitted Exceptions or represents an additional encumbrance on the Property. 8. CLOSING. Seller and Purchaser shall consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement at Closing through an escrow with the Title Company and pursuant to escrow instructions acceptable to the Title Company, Seller and Purchaser. The attorneys for Seller and Purchaser are authorized to execute such letter of escrow instructions, any amendments thereto and all directions or communications thereunder.. 9. SELLER'S OBLIGATIONS AT THE CLOSING.

PURCHASER'S OBLIGATIONS AT CLOSING. Subject to the terms, conditions, and provisions hereof, and contemporaneously with the performance by Seller of its obligations under Section 9 above, Purchaser shall: (a) cause the Title Company to pay Seller the Purchase Price; (b) execute and deliver to Seller a closing statement itemizing the Purchase Price and all adjustments thereto as provided herein; (c) acknowledge the Jared's Assignment and the Ground Assignment for the purpose of assuming Seller's obligations under the Leases; and (d) execute and deliver to Seller such other documents or instruments as may be required under this Agreement or as otherwise required by the Title Company or by Seller (using its reasonable opinion) to effectuate the Closing. Purchaser's obligation to close shall be specifically contingent upon the Title Company furnishing to Purchaser the Title Policy (or executed mark-ups of the same) and Tenant and Ground Landlord executing and delivering to Purchaser an estoppel certificate in accordance with the provisions of the Leases. Purchaser specifically acknowledges that Seller's failure to deliver the foregoing items shall not constitute a default by Seller hereunder nor expose Seller to damages but, in such circumstances, Purchaser may, as its sole remedy at law or in equity, terminate this Agreement and receive the immediate return of its Deposit. 11. CLOSING COSTS. At the Closing: (i) Seller shall pay (a) all premiums and fees related to the Title Commitments and the Leasehold Policies, (b) one-half of any escrow charges, (c) one hundred percent of documentary stamps or transfer tax payable on the deed of conveyance; and (d) its own attorneys' fees; and (ii) Purchaser shall pay (w) for the costs and expenses of any additional endorsements and/or additional title insurance coverage requests by Purchaser (including any title insurance in connection with the Purchaser's lender), (x) any costs, fees and expenses relating to the updating of the Survey, the environmental report or other third party requests, (y) one-half of any escrow charges, and (z) its own attorneys' fees. 8 12. PRORATIONS. (a) Taxes. Purchaser acknowledges that the Jared's Lease obligates Tenant to pay the taxes directly to the taxing authority. Accordingly, the parties shall not prorate taxes between Purchaser and Seller, it being acknowledged that Tenant shall be responsible for same. In no event shall Seller be responsible for the payment of any real estate taxes and/or assessments applicable during its period of ownership in the event Tenant has defaulted in the prompt payment of same. (b) Rent. Rent actually paid for the month in which the Closing occurs shall be prorated between Seller and Purchaser as of the close of business on the date of Closing, with Purchaser receiving a credit for amounts attributable to time periods following such date.

Subject to the Leases, Seller shall deliver exclusive possession of the Property to Purchaser at Closing. 14. INSPECTION. During the Inspection Period, Seller agrees that Purchaser, its representatives, agents, employees, lenders, contractors, appraisers, architects and engineers designated by Purchaser (collectively "PERMITTEES") shall, subject to arranging all onsite visits with Seller, be entitled to enter upon the Property for inspection, soil tests, examination, land-use planning and for any due diligence investigation relating to Purchaser's proposed ownership of the Property. As to any such investigation, Purchaser shall restore the Property to the same condition as existed prior to any such investigation, and shall not: (i) perform any invasive tests without Seller's prior consent, which may be withheld in Seller's sole and absolute discretion; or (ii) interfere with the possessory rights of any Tenant. Purchaser shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Seller, its partners, officers, directors, members, shareholders, employees, agents, lenders, contractors and each of their respective successors and assigns (collectively, the "SELLER INDEMNIFIED PARTIES") harmless from any and all losses, liabilities, fines, penalties and damages (including without limitation any damages or injury to persons, property or to the environment as provided hereunder), or actions or claims in respect thereof (including without limitation, amounts paid in settlement, reasonable cost of investigation, reasonable attorneys' fees and other legal expenses and reasonable fees of other professionals) (collectively "LOSSES") which any of the Seller Indemnified Parties may suffer or sustain as a result of the exercise by Purchaser of its rights (and that of its Permittees) to enter upon the Property pursuant to this Section. The terms of this Section will survive the Closing and the termination of this Agreement. 15. ACKNOWLEDGEMENT. (a) As-Is. Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that, except as expressly provided in this Agreement, and as a material inducement to Seller's execution and delivery of this Agreement, the sale of the Property as provided for herein is made on an "AS IS, WHERE IS" CONDITION AND BASIS "WITH ALL FAULTS." Purchaser acknowledges, represents and warrants that Purchaser is not in a significantly disparate bargaining position with respect to Seller in connection with the transaction contemplated by this Agreement; that Purchaser freely and fairly agreed to this acknowledgment as part of the negotiations for the transaction contemplated by 9 this Agreement; that Purchaser is represented by legal counsel in connection with this transaction and Purchaser has conferred with such legal counsel concerning this waiver. Except for the representations and warranties expressly set forth in this Agreement, no representations or warranties have been made or are made and no responsibility has been or is assumed by any of the Seller Indemnified Parties or anyone acting or purporting to act on behalf of the Seller Indemnified Parties as to the condition or repair of the Property or the value, expense of operation, or income potential thereof or as to any other fact or condition which has or might affect the Property or the condition, repair, value, expense of operation or income potential of the Property or any portion thereof. The parties agree that all understandings and agreements made between them or their respective agents or representatives prior to the Effective Date are merged in this Agreement and the attached Exhibits, which alone fully and completely express their agreement, and that this Agreement has been entered into with Purchaser being provided ample opportunity to investigate all aspects of the Property, with neither party relying upon any statement or representation by the other unless such statement or representation is specifically embodied in this Agreement or the attached Exhibits. Except as set forth in this Agreement, Seller makes no representations or warranties as to whether the Property contains asbestos or any hazardous materials or harmful or toxic substances, or pertaining to the extent, location or nature of same, if any. Further, to the extent that Seller has provided to Purchaser information from any inspection, engineering or environmental reports concerning asbestos or any hazardous materials or harmful or toxic substances, Seller makes no representations or warranties with respect to the accuracy or completeness, methodology of preparation or otherwise concerning the contents of such reports. Purchaser acknowledges that Seller has requested that Purchaser inspect the Property fully and carefully and investigate all matters relevant thereto and that Purchaser rely solely upon the results of Purchaser's own inspections or other information obtained or otherwise available to Purchaser, rather than any information that may have been provided by Seller to Purchaser. (b) Release of Seller. Purchaser for itself and each of its present and future directors, members, shareholders, officers, employees, agents, parties, affiliates, representatives, attorneys, subsidiaries, parent and affiliated corporations, predecessors, successors, and assigns (collectively, "Purchaser-Related Entities"), hereby fully and irrevocably releases, acquits and discharges the Seller Indemnified Parties from any and all Losses, whether known or unknown, existing or potential, which Purchaser or the Purchaser-Related Entities have or assert or hereafter may have or assert, against any of the Seller Indemnified Parties by reason of any purported act or omission on the part of any of the Seller Indemnified Parties occurring prior to the Closing, which Losses are based upon, arise out of, or are in any way connected with any of the following (each, a "Claim" and collectively, the "Claims"): (i) the condition, status, quality, nature, contamination or environmental state of the Property; (ii) any violation of, noncompliance with, or enforcement of applicable laws, regulations or ordinances with respect to the Property; or (iii) any use, generation, storage, release, threatened release, discharge, disposal, or presence of any "Hazardous Materials" (defined below) on, under, or about the Property or, to the extent affecting the Property, any property in the vicinity of the Property; provided however, nothing contained in this Section shall release Seller from Seller's representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement, or Seller's fraud. The term "Hazardous Materials" means and includes flammable explosives, petroleum (including crude oil), radioactive materials, hazardous wastes, toxic substances or related materials, including, without limitation, any substances defined as or included in the definition of toxic or hazardous substances, wastes or materials 10 under any federal or applicable state or local laws, ordinances or regulations dealing with or otherwise pertaining to toxic or hazardous substances, wastes, or materials (collectively, "Hazardous Substances Laws"). (c) Indemnification of Seller. (i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Purchaser, to the maximum extent permitted by law, shall be solely responsible for, and shall indemnify, hold harmless and defend with counsel acceptable to Seller in its reasonable discretion, the Seller Indemnified Parties from and against any and all Losses arising out of, or resulting from or claimed to arise out of or result from, in whole or in part, but only to the extent of, any of the following (collectively, the "INDEMNIFIED ACTS"): (i) any violation of, noncompliance with, or enforcement of, any Hazardous Substances Laws with respect to the Property; or (ii) the release, discharge, disposal, or presence of Hazardous Materials, on, under or about the Property. The Losses referred to herein shall include, without limitation, all foreseeable consequential damages and the cost of any required or necessary repair, cleanup, or detoxification of the Property or any property in the vicinity of the Property, and the preparation and implementation of any closure, remedial, or other required plans in connection therewith. (ii) In the event that any suit or other proceeding is brought against any of the Seller Indemnified Parties at any time on account of any of the Losses, Purchaser shall, upon the request of Seller and the Seller Indemnified Parties: (i) assume the defense of Seller and the Seller Indemnified Parties, as the case may be; (ii) defend Seller and the Seller Indemnified Parties, at Purchaser's own expense with counsel acceptable to Seller or the Seller Indemnified Parties, as applicable, in their reasonable discretion; and (iii) pay all judgments, fines, penalties and other fees and expenses in connection therewith. (iii) In the event that: (i) a final adjudication determines that Seller took one of the Indemnified Acts prior to the Closing Date that directly and proximately caused the Losses, and (ii) Seller failed to inform Purchaser of such Indemnified Act prior to the Closing Date, then Seller shall reimburse Purchaser for all amounts previously paid by Purchaser pursuant to Section 15(C)(ii), and Purchaser's obligation to indemnify Seller with respect to such Indemnified Act pursuant to this Section 15(C)(iii) shall terminate. (D) Survival of Indemnity and Release. The obligations of Purchaser pursuant to Section 15(B) and Section 15(C) shall survive the Closing. 16. FURTHER ASSURANCES. Seller and Purchaser agree to perform such other acts, and to execute, acknowledge, and/or deliver subsequent to the Closing such other instruments, documents and other materials as Seller or Purchaser may reasonably request in order to effectuate the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein and to vest title to the Property in Purchaser. 17. DEFAULT BY SELLER. In the event that Seller should fail to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement for any reason, excepting Purchaser's default or the failure of any of the conditions to Seller's obligations hereunder to be satisfied or waived, Purchaser may, as its sole remedy at law or in equity, elect to either: (i) terminate this Agreement 11 by giving prompt written notice thereof to Seller, in which event the Deposit will be returned to Purchaser; or (ii) specifically enforce this Agreement. However, if Seller's breach was beyond Seller's reasonable control, Purchaser's sole remedy will be to terminate this Agreement as set forth in subparagraph (i) above. Furthermore, if Purchaser elects to specifically enforce this Agreement it must institute such action within thirty (30) days following Seller's default, failing which Purchaser shall be deemed to have waived the right to pursue specific performance. 18. DEFAULT BY PURCHASER. In the event Purchaser should fail to consummate the transaction contemplated herein for any reason, except default by Seller or the failure of any of the conditions to Purchaser's obligations hereunder to be satisfied or waived, Seller may either: (i) grant Purchaser additional time to cure such default; or (ii) terminate the Agreement, in which event Seller shall retain the Deposit as liquidated damages in lieu of all other remedies available to Seller and this Agreement shall become null and void with neither party having any further rights or liabilities hereunder, except as provided for in this Agreement. Seller and Purchaser acknowledge and agree that: (x) it would be extremely difficult to accurately determine the amount of damages suffered by Seller as a result of Purchaser's default hereunder; (y) the Deposit is a fair and reasonable amount to be retained by Seller as agreed and liquidated damages for Purchaser's default under this Agreement; and (z) retention by Seller of the Deposit upon Purchaser's default hereunder shall not constitute a penalty or forfeiture. However, the liquidated damages provision does not preclude Seller from pursuing any: (i) claims for the return or delivery of Due Diligence Items; (ii) actions to expunge a lis pendens or other clouds on title caused by Purchaser; (iii) claims on account of Purchaser's indemnity obligations under this Agreement; and (iv) attorneys' fees and costs incurred by Seller incident to subparagraphs (i) through (iii). 19. ATTORNEY'S FEES. In the event of any legal action or other proceeding between the parties regarding this Agreement or the Property (an "ACTION"), the prevailing party shall be entitled to the payment by the losing party of its reasonable attorneys' fees, court costs and litigation expenses, as determined by the court. The term "prevailing party" as used herein includes, without limitation, a party: (i) who agrees to dismiss an Action on the other party's performance of the covenants allegedly breached, (ii) who obtains substantially the relief it has sought; or (iii) against whom an Action is dismissed (with or without prejudice). In addition, the prevailing party in any Action shall be entitled, in addition to and separately from the amounts recoverable under this Section, to the payment by the losing party of the prevailing party's reasonable attorneys' fees, court costs and litigation expenses incurred in connection with: (y) any appellate review of the judgment rendered in such Action or of any other ruling in such Action; and (z) any proceeding to enforce a judgment in such Action. It is the intent of the parties that the provisions of this Section be distinct and severable from the other rights of the parties under this Agreement, shall survive the entry of judgment in any Action and shall not be merged into such judgment. 20. BROKERAGE COMMISSIONS. Each party represents to the other that no brokers other than Broker (who represents Purchaser in the transaction) has been involved in this transaction. In the event that this transaction is consummated and Closing occurs, Seller shall pay Broker a real estate commission in amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the Purchase Price. Seller and Purchaser agree that if any other claims for brokerage commissions are ever made against Seller or Purchaser in connection with this transaction, all claims shall be handled and paid by the party whose actions or alleged commitments form the basis of such claim. Seller agrees to indemnify and hold Purchaser harmless from any Losses paid or incurred by Purchaser by reason of any claim to any broker's, finder's, or other fee in connection 12 with this transaction by any party claiming by, through, or under Seller. Except as provided in the foregoing sentence, Purchaser agrees to indemnify and hold Seller harmless from any Losses paid or incurred by Seller by reason of any claim to any broker's, finder's, or other fee in connection with this transaction by any party claiming by, through, or under Purchaser, which obligation of each party shall survive the Closing. 21. RISK OF LOSS. (a) Condemnation and Casualty. If, prior to the Closing Date, all or any portion of the Property is taken by condemnation or eminent domain, or is the subject of a pending taking which has not been consummated, or is destroyed or damaged by fire or other casualty, Seller shall notify Purchaser of such fact promptly after Seller obtains knowledge thereof. If such condemnation or casualty is "Material" (defined below), Purchaser shall have the option to terminate this Agreement upon notice to Seller given not later than fifteen (15) days after receipt of Seller's notice, or the date of the Closing, whichever is earlier. If this Agreement is terminated, the Deposit shall be returned to Purchaser and thereafter neither Seller nor Purchaser shall have any further rights or obligations to the other hereunder except as otherwise provided in this Agreement. If this Agreement is not terminated, Seller shall not be obligated to repair any damage or destruction but: (x) Seller shall assign, without recourse, and turn over to Purchaser all of the insurance proceeds or condemnation proceeds, as applicable, net of any costs of repairs and net of reasonable collection costs (or, if such have not been awarded, all of its right, title and interest therein) payable with respect to such fire or other casualty or condemnation including any rent abatement insurance for such casualty or condemnation; and (y) the parties shall proceed to Closing pursuant to the terms hereof without abatement of the Purchase Price. (b) Condemnation Not Material. If the condemnation is not Material, then the Closing shall occur without abatement of the Purchase Price and, after deducting Seller's reasonable costs and expenses incurred in collecting any award, Seller shall assign, without recourse, all remaining awards or any rights to collect awards to Purchaser on the date of the Closing. (c) Casualty Not Material. If the Casualty is not Material, then the Closing shall occur without abatement of the Purchase Price except for a credit in the amount of the applicable deductible and Seller shall not be obligated to repair such damage or destruction and Seller shall assign, without recourse, and turn over to Purchaser all of the insurance proceeds net of any costs of repairs and net of reasonable collection costs (or, if such have not been awarded, all of its right, title and interest therein) payable with respect to such fire or such casualty including any rent abatement insurance for such casualty. (d) Materiality. For purposes of this Section 22: (i) with respect to a taking by eminent domain, the term "MATERIAL" means any taking whatsoever, regardless of the amount of the award or the amount of the Property taken, excluding, however, any taking solely of subsurface rights or takings for utility easements or right of way easements, if the surface of the 13 Property, after such taking, may be used in substantially the same manner as though such rights had not been taken or any taking which does not permit a Tenant from terminating the Lease affected by the taking; and (ii) with respect to a casualty, the term "Material" means any casualty such that the cost of repair, as reasonably estimated by Seller's engineer, is in excess of 10% of the Purchase Price allocated to Property sustaining the casualty, excluding, however, any casualty which does not permit a Tenant from terminating the Lease affected by the casualty. 22. ASSIGNABILITY. Neither Purchaser not Seller may assign its respective obligations hereunder without the consent of the other, except as set forth in Paragraph 31 below and except for assignments by Purchaser to an entity fifty percent (50%) owned and controlled by Purchaser and, in such event, Purchaser shall not be released of its obligations hereunder. 23. NOTICES. Any notice to be given or to be served upon either party hereto in connection with this Agreement must be in writing and shall be given by certified or registered mail (return receipt requested), by overnight express delivery or facsimile (followed by hard copy by either of the two preceding methods of delivery) and shall be deemed to have been given upon receipt. Such notice shall be given the parties hereto at the addresses set forth on the signature page of this Agreement and be deemed delivered upon delivery or on the date when the receiving party first refuses to accept such delivery. Either party may at any time, by giving five (5) days written notice to the other, designate any other address in substitution of any of the foregoing addresses to which such notice shall be given and other parties to whom copies of all notices hereunder shall be sent. 24. BINDING EFFECT. This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the Seller and Purchaser and their respective successors and assigns. 25. ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Agreement represents the entire agreement between Seller and Purchaser with respect to the subject matter hereof, and all prior agreements between Seller and Purchaser with respect to such subject matter shall have no further force or effect, including, without limitation, any proposal letters. 26. GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the Subject State, without giving effect to principals of conflicts of law. 27. MODIFICATION. This Agreement may only be modified or otherwise amended by a written instrument executed by duly authorized representatives of Seller and Purchaser. 28. TIME OF ESSENCE. Time is of the essence of this Agreement. 29. COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original, and all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. 30. FACSIMILE. A facsimile copy of this Agreement and any signatures thereon will be considered for all purposes as originals. 14 31. INDEPENDENT COUNSEL AND INTERPRETATION. Each party acknowledges that its legal counsel participated in the preparation and drafting of this Agreement, and that each has been or has had the opportunity to be represented by counsel of its own choice throughout all negotiations which preceded the execution of this Agreement, and that they have executed this Agreement with the consent and upon the advice of said counsel. Accordingly, it is agreed that any legal rule of construction to the effect that ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall not apply to the interpretation of this Agreement or any addenda, amendments or exhibits thereto to favor any party against the other. 32. BUSINESS DAYS. All references to "business days" contained in this Agreement are references to normal working business days, i.e., Monday through Friday of each calendar week, exclusive of federal and national bank holidays. If any event hereunder is to occur, or a time period is to expire, on a date which is not a business day, such event will occur or time period shall expire on the next succeeding business day. 33. 1031 EXCHANGE. The parties acknowledge that each may be consummating the transaction as part of a deferred tax-free exchange ("EXCHANGE") pursuant to Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code (the "CODE"). Therefore, either party may assign its right, but not its obligations, to a qualified third party intermediary. Each party agrees to cooperate with the other in connection with such tax deferred exchange; provided, however, that in no event will: (i) Seller be obligated to (a) take title to any relinquished property that Purchaser desires to relinquish, or (b) act as a qualified intermediary; (ii) either party incur any obligation, indebtedness, liability, cost or expense as a result of cooperating with the other to effect such exchange. EACH PARTY HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT IS AND WILL BE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR COMPLIANCE WITH ALL LAWS, RULES AND REGULATIONS RELATED TO ITS EXCHANGE, IF ANY. FURTHER, A PARTY CAUSING AN EXCHANGE ACKNOWLEDGES THAT NEITHER THE NON-EXCHANGING PARTY NOR ANY OF ITS AGENTS, REPRESENTATIVES OR AFFILIATES HAS ADVISED THE EXCHANGING PARTY, AND NO SUCH PERSON OR ENTITY HAS ANY OBLIGATION OR DUTY TO ADVISE THE EXCHANGING PARTY, WITH RESPECT TO WHETHER THE TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT COMPLIES WITH THE LAWS, RULES AND REGULATIONS APPLICABLE TO THE EXCHANGE. FURTHER, EACH PARTY REPRESENTS, WARRANTS AND ACKNOWLEDGES TO THE OTHER THAT IT HAS RELIED UPON ITS OWN TAX AND LEGAL COUNSEL IN DETERMINING COMPLIANCE WITH ALL LAWS, RULES AND REGULATIONS APPLICABLE TO ITS EXCHANGE, IF ANY. THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION WILL SURVIVE THE CLOSING OR TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT.
