Prior to the Effective Date, Buyer has received and reviewed the following documents: (i) a current preliminary title report for a standard coverage owner’s policy of title insurance for the Real Property (the “PTR”), (ii) copies of all documents referenced as exceptions therein (collectively, the “Underlying Documents”) and (iii) an as-built survey of the Property prepared by Boundary Boys, LLC, dated as of September 13, 2011 (the “Survey”).

On or before December 1, 2011 (the “Title Notification Date”), Buyer may, at its sole cost and expense, obtain an updated or new preliminary title report for the Real Property (the “Updated Title Report”) and an updated survey (the “Updated Survey”) certified to Buyer and Title Company (as hereinafter defined).
(b)    Buyer’s Review of Title. The following matters shall be deemed to be “Permitted Exceptions” and Buyer shall have no right to object to (and Seller shall have no obligation to cure or correct) any such matters: (i) all matters reported or shown in the Title Documents as of the Effective Date, including, without limitation, that certain Deed of Trust, Assignment of Leases and Rents, Fixture Filing and Security Agreement, dated as of March 15, 2005, made by Seller, as trustor, for the benefit of Greenwich Capital Financial Products, Inc., a Delaware corporation, as beneficiary (“Existing Lender”), securing certain outstanding indebtedness (the “Existing Loan”) in the original principal amount of $285,000,000.00; (ii) the rights of tenants (as tenants only) under the Leases; (iii) the lien of all ad valorem real estate taxes and assessments not yet due and payable as of the Closing Date, subject to adjustment as herein provided; and (iv) local, state and federal laws, ordinances and governmental regulations, including but not limited to, building and zoning laws, ordinances and regulations, now or hereafter in effect relating to the Property.

If, on or after the Title Notification Date, any such new matter (that would reasonably be expected to have a materially adverse effect on the value of the Property) first appears in a supplement or further update of the Updated Title Report (each a “Title Supplement”), Buyer shall have an additional three (3) Business Days following Buyer’s receipt of such Title

Supplement to notify Seller and Escrow Agent in writing (a “Supplemental Objection Letter”) of any objection which Buyer may have to such new matter (and, if required, the Closing shall be delayed so that (x) Buyer shall have the time provided herein to notify Seller and Escrow Agent of any objection to such new matter and (y) Seller shall have the time described herein to attempt to remove or insure over such new matter). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in the event that Buyer does not obtain the Updated Title Report or the Updated Survey on or before the Title Notification Date, Buyer shall be deemed to have irrevocably waived its right to object to any and all matters affecting title to the Real Property and/or any of the Title Documents.

However, on or before the fifth (5th) Business Day following Seller’s receipt of a Buyer’s Objection Letter or a Supplemental Objection Letter, Seller may elect, by delivering written notice of such election to Buyer and Escrow Agent (“Seller’s Response”), to attempt to cause Title Company to remove or insure over any matters objected to in such Buyer’s Objection Letter or Supplemental Objection Letter. If Seller fails to deliver Seller’s Response within the time frame set forth above, it shall be deemed to be an election by Seller not to attempt to cure such objection by causing Title Company to so remove or insure over such objection. If Seller elects not to attempt to cause Title Company to so remove or insure, then Buyer must elect, by delivering written notice of such election to Seller and Escrow Agent on or before the earlier to occur of (i) the fifth (5th) Business Day following Buyer’s receipt of Seller’s Response or (ii) if no Seller’s Response is received by Buyer, the fifth (5th) Business Day following the date on which Seller shall have been deemed to have responded as provided above, to: (x) terminate this Agreement (in which case, the Deposit shall be returned to Buyer and neither party shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder (except for any obligations of either party pursuant hereto that by their terms expressly survive the termination hereof), and Buyer and Seller shall each pay one half (½) of any and all Escrow cancellation fees or charges and each party shall otherwise bear its own costs incurred hereunder); or (y) proceed to a timely Closing whereupon such objected to exceptions or matters shall be deemed to be Permitted Exceptions. In the event that Buyer fails to make such election on a timely basis, then Buyer shall be deemed to have elected to proceed to a timely Closing in accordance with the preceding clause (y). Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything contained herein to the contrary, and except for the deed of trust securing the Existing Loan, Seller shall cause to be released or bonded over any and all deeds of trust, mortgages or other encumbrances securing the payment of money which Seller has caused or permitted to be recorded against the Property (each, a “Monetary Encumbrance”).

Evidence of delivery of such title shall be the issuance by First American Title Insurance Company (“Title Company”), or another national title company acceptable to Seller and Buyer in the sole discretion of each, of an ALTA Owner’s Policy of Title Insurance (the “Title Policy”) covering the Real Property, in the full amount of the Purchase Price, subject only to the Permitted Exceptions.

Subject to the provisions of this Section 4.5, such prorated items shall include, without limitation, the following: (i) all Rents; (ii) taxes and assessments (including personal property taxes on the Personal Property) levied against the Property; (iii) utility charges for which Seller is liable, if any, such charges to be apportioned at the Closing on the basis of the most recent

12



meter reading occurring prior to the Closing (dated not more than fifteen (15) days prior to the Closing Date) or, if unmetered, on the basis of a current bill for each such utility; (iv) all amounts payable under brokerage agreements and Assigned Contracts, pursuant to the terms hereof; (v) outstanding and unpaid interest on the Existing Loan; and (vi) any and all other operating expenses or other items pertaining to the Property which are customarily prorated between a purchaser and a seller in the county in which the Property is located, provided that there shall be no proration of costs incurred with respect to any budgeted or in-process capital improvement projects.

Buyer shall bear all costs and expenses required to transfer any such letters of credit (other than Seller’s own internal costs and expenses and the costs and expenses of Seller’s counsel). In the event that Seller’s lenders are holding such letters of credit, then Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such letters of credit to be transferred to Buyer as soon as reasonably practicable after the Closing. Buyer and Seller agree that the transfer to Buyer of any such letters of credit held by Seller or Seller’s lenders shall not be a condition precedent to Buyer’s obligation to proceed with the Closing;
(ii)    Any taxes paid at or prior to the Closing Date shall be prorated based upon the amounts actually paid. If taxes and assessments due and payable during the year in which the Closing Date occurs have not been paid before the Closing, Seller shall be charged at the Closing an amount equal to that portion of such taxes and assessments which relates to the period before the Closing Date and Buyer shall pay the taxes and assessments prior to their becoming delinquent. Any such apportionment made with respect to a tax year for which the tax rate or assessed valuation, or both, have not yet been fixed shall be based upon the tax rate and/or assessed valuation last fixed. To the extent that the actual taxes and assessments for the current year differ from the amount apportioned at the Closing, the parties shall make all necessary adjustments by appropriate payments between themselves within thirty (30) days after such

13



amounts are determined following the Closing, subject to the provisions of Section 4.5(d);
(iii)    Charges and expenses referred to in Section 4.5(a) which are payable by any tenant to a third party shall not be apportioned hereunder, and Buyer shall accept title subject to any of such charges unpaid and Buyer shall look solely to the tenant responsible therefor for the payment of the same;
(iv)    As to utility charges referred to in Section 4.5(a)(iii), Seller may on notice to Buyer elect to pay any or all of said items accrued to the Closing Date directly to the person or entity entitled thereto, and to the extent Seller so elects, such item shall not be apportioned hereunder, and Seller’s obligation to pay such item directly in such case shall survive the Closing or any termination of this Agreement;
(v)    Upon the Closing, Buyer shall (A) receive a credit for all Tenant Inducement Costs and Commissions (as such terms are hereinafter defined) that were outstanding as of September 6, 2011, and unpaid as of the Effective Date, a list of which is set forth on Schedule 4.5(b)(v) attached hereto (collectively, the “Specified Tenant Inducement Costs and Commissions” and, individually, a “Specified Tenant Inducement Cost or Commission”), and remain unpaid as of the Closing Date, except for the Specified Tenant Inducement Costs and Commissions relating to the Leases for PA Consulting and Denver Field Services for which Buyer shall receive no credit upon the Closing, provided, however, that, if the relevant tenant under the Lease for PA Consulting or Denver Field Services shall request payment of all or any portion of any Specified Tenant Inducement Cost or Commission on or before the date that is six (6) months following the Closing Date, Seller shall, on the date of payment of such Specified Tenant Inducement Cost or Commission by Buyer, pay to Buyer an amount equal to twenty percent (20%) of the Specified Tenant Inducement Cost or Commission; and (B) except as provided in the foregoing clause (A), receive no credit for, and shall be responsible for the payment of, all Tenant Inducement Costs and Commissions (including, without limitation, any Tenant Inducement Costs and Commissions which become due and payable (whether before or after the Closing Date) as a result of any new Leases, or any renewals, extensions, amendments or expansions of existing Leases (whether or not entered into pursuant to an option), arising or entered into from and after September 6, 2011);
(vi)    If, as of the Closing Date, Seller shall have paid any Tenant Inducement Costs or Commissions for which Buyer is responsible pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or if, as of the Closing Date, Seller shall have paid any attorneys’ fees or expenses incurred in connection with the drafting or the negotiation, or both, of any leases entered into after September 6, 2011,

14



Buyer shall reimburse Seller therefor at the Closing. If on the Closing Date there are any outstanding or unpaid Tenant Inducement Costs which are not the responsibility of Buyer as set forth herein, then at the Closing Buyer shall be entitled to a credit in the amount of such unpaid Tenant Inducement Costs, and upon and following the Closing Buyer shall assume and be responsible for the payment of such Tenant Inducement Costs to the extent of such credit, and Seller shall assign to Buyer all construction and other contracts relating to such outstanding Tenant Inducement Costs, and Buyer shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Seller with respect to any claims relating to the failure to satisfy such outstanding Tenant Inducement Costs for which Buyer received a credit. For purposes hereof, the term “Tenant Inducement Costs” shall mean any and all out of pocket payments required under a Lease to be paid by the landlord thereunder to or for the benefit of the tenant thereunder which is in the nature of a tenant inducement, including specifically, without limitation, tenant improvement costs, lease buyout or takeover costs, and moving, design, refurbishment and club membership allowances. The term Tenant Inducement Costs shall not include loss of income resulting from any free rental period, it being agreed that Seller shall bear the loss resulting from any free rental period until the Closing Date and that Buyer shall bear the loss resulting from any free rental period from and after the Closing Date. For purposes hereof, the term “Commissions” shall mean any and all leasing commissions and finder’s fees (including commissions payable to employees of any affiliate of Seller) payable in connection with any Lease;
(vii)    Unpaid and delinquent Rent collected by Seller and Buyer after the Closing Date shall be applied as follows: (a) if Seller collects any unpaid or delinquent Rent for the Property, Seller shall, within fifteen (15) days after the receipt thereof, deliver to Buyer any such Rent which Buyer is entitled to hereunder relating to the period from and after the Closing Date; and (b) if Buyer collects any unpaid or delinquent Rent from the Property, Buyer shall, within fifteen (15) days after the receipt thereof, deliver to Seller any such Rent which Seller is entitled to hereunder relating to the period prior to the Closing Date. Seller and Buyer agree that all Rent received by Seller or Buyer shall be applied first to Rent for the month in which the Closing occurs, then to Rents due for the period after the Closing and then to delinquent Rent, if any, in the inverse order of delinquency. For a period of 180 days after the Closing, Buyer will make a good faith effort to collect all Rents in the usual course of Buyer’s operation of the Property, but Buyer will not be obligated to institute any lawsuit or other collection procedures to collect delinquent Rents. Seller may attempt to collect any delinquent Rents owed Seller and may institute any lawsuit or collection procedures, but may not evict any tenant or seek to interfere with its occupancy of the Improvements after the Closing Date. Seller, as landlord under the Leases, is currently collecting from tenants additional rent to cover taxes, insurance, utilities, maintenance and other operating costs and expenses incurred by Seller in connection with the ownership, operation, maintenance and management of the Property (such expenses, collectively “Expenses” and such collections, collectively “Collections”). Non-delinquent Collections received for the month in

15



which the Closing occurs shall be prorated in the same manner as other Rents. Subsequent to the Closing, but no later than two (2) months following the Closing Date, Seller shall provide Buyer its general ledger of Expenses for the Property for the period from January 1, 2012 to the Closing Date. Subsequent to the Closing, but no later than three (3) months following the Closing Date, Buyer shall prepare and present to Seller a calculation of the Collections received and Expenses incurred by Seller, before the Closing, and Buyer, after the Closing. To the extent that Seller shall have incurred Expenses prior to the Closing that are less than the Collections it received, Seller shall make the appropriate adjusting payment to Buyer within thirty (30) days after presentment to Seller of Buyer’s calculation. To the extent that Seller shall have incurred Expenses prior to the Closing that are in excess of the Collections it received, Buyer shall make the appropriate adjusting payment to Seller if and when such sum is received from the tenants;
(viii)    To the extent that any tenant, pursuant to a right contained in a Lease, conducts an audit respecting any calculation of rent or additional rent (a “Rent Audit”) for an accounting period that expired prior to the Closing Date, or otherwise becomes entitled to a refund of rent with respect to a period prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall respond to such Rent Audit promptly, shall make its books and records available to such requesting tenant, and shall diligently see the claim to conclusion. Seller shall be liable for any refunds due to such tenant or shall be entitled to receive and retain any additional payments due from such tenant as the result of such Rent Audit. The results of any Rent Audit for any accounting period which includes the Closing Date shall be apportioned in the same manner as rents. Rent Audits for accounting periods that expire prior to the Closing Date shall be settled by Seller in accordance with the applicable existing Lease. Rent Audits for accounting periods prior to the Closing Date but extending after the Closing Date shall be settled by Purchaser in accordance with the applicable existing Lease, but Seller shall receive notice of all negotiations or proceedings in connection therewith, shall have the right to participate and/or intervene therein and shall be entitled to approve all matters to be approved by the landlord under the applicable existing tenant Lease in connection therewith, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned; and
(ix)    At the Closing, Seller shall receive a credit for the amount of any loan reserves outstanding as of the Closing Date in connection with the Existing Loan.
(c)    Seller may, at its sole expense, prosecute appeals (if any) of the real property tax assessment for any tax years prior to the Closing, and may take related action which Seller deems appropriate in connection therewith. Buyer shall reasonably cooperate with Seller in connection with such appeal and collection of a refund of real property taxes paid,

16



provided that Buyer shall incur no material cost or expense in connection therewith. Seller owns and holds all right, title and interest in and to such appeal and refund, and all amounts payable in connection therewith shall be paid directly to Seller by the applicable authorities. If such refund or any part thereof is received by Buyer, Buyer shall promptly pay such amount to Seller. Any refund received by Seller shall be distributed as follows: first, to reimburse Seller for all costs incurred in connection with the appeal; second, with respect to refunds payable to tenants of the Real Property pursuant to the Leases, to such tenants in accordance with the terms of such Leases; and third, to Seller to the extent such appeal covers the period prior to the Closing Date, and to Buyer to the extent such appeal covers the period from and after the Closing Date. If and to the extent any such appeal covers any period (i) commencing prior to the Closing Date and ending after the Closing Date, Buyer shall have the right to participate in such appeal and (ii) solely from and after the Closing Date, Buyer shall have the right to approve and participate in such appeal.
(d)    Except as otherwise provided herein, any revenue or expense amount which cannot be ascertained with certainty as of the Closing Date shall be prorated on the basis of the parties’ reasonable estimates of such amount, and shall be the subject of a final proration ninety (90) days after the Closing Date, or as soon thereafter as the precise amounts can be ascertained. Any reconciliation of revenue or expense amounts relating to Leases which needs to be made in connection with this Section 4.5 shall be prepared by Buyer and submitted to Seller for Seller’s review and approval. Buyer shall promptly notify Seller when it becomes aware that any such estimated amount has been ascertained. Once all revenue and expense amounts have been ascertained, Buyer shall prepare a final proration statement which shall be in a form consistent with the Closing Statement delivered at the Closing and which shall be subject to Seller’s approval. Upon Seller’s acceptance and approval of any final proration statement submitted by Buyer, such statement shall be conclusively deemed to be accurate and final, and any payment due to any party as a result of such final pro-rations shall be made within thirty (30) days of such approval by Seller.
(e)    Buyer agrees that, promptly following the Closing (and in any event, not later than ten (10) Business Days thereafter), it shall cause all accounts for utility services to the Property to be transferred to Buyer’s name, and Seller agrees to reasonably cooperate with such transfer(s), at no cost to Seller.
(f)    Subject to the final sentence of Section 4.5 (d), the provisions of this Section 4.5 shall survive the Closing.
Section 4.6    Closing Statement. Seller shall prepare and submit to Buyer for Buyer’s review, at least seven (7) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, a draft proration statement setting forth the prorations and adjustments contemplated by this Agreement. Once Seller and Buyer have agreed on such proration statement, and in any event (even if there is any Proration Disputed Amount (as hereinafter defined) that has not been resolved between the parties) at least five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, Seller and Buyer shall submit the same to the Escrow Agent. Escrow Agent shall prepare (with the assistance of Seller and

17



Buyer) and, no later than three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, deliver to each of the parties for their review and approval a preliminary closing statement (the “Preliminary Closing Statement”) setting forth: (a) the proration amounts allocable to each of the parties pursuant to Section 4.5; and (b) the Closing Costs allocable to each of the parties pursuant to Section 4.7. Based on each of the party’s comments, if any, regarding the Preliminary Closing Statement, Escrow Agent shall revise the Preliminary Closing Statement and deliver a final version of a closing statement, signed by Buyer and Seller, to each of the parties at the Closing (the “Closing Statement”). In the event that any amount set forth in the Closing Statement is disputed in good faith by either of the parties (the “Proration Disputed Amount”), and such Proration Disputed Amount is not resolved before the Closing, such dispute shall not delay or prevent the Closing, and an amount equal to such Proration Disputed Amount shall be held back from the payment of the Purchase Price at the Closing, and the parties shall reasonably cooperate to make the appropriate adjustments after the Closing as soon as reasonably practicable with respect thereto. Any corrected adjustment or proration shall be paid in cash to the party entitled thereto. The provisions of this Section 4.6 shall survive the Closing.

Each party shall pay its own costs and expenses arising in connection with the Closing (including, without limitation, its own attorneys’ and advisors’ fees, charges and disbursements), except the following costs (the “Closing Costs”), which shall be allocated between the parties as follows:

Section 7.1    Damage or Condemnation. Risk of loss resulting from any condemnation or eminent domain proceeding that is commenced or has been threatened before the Closing, and risk of loss to the Property due to fire, flood or any other cause before the Closing, shall remain with Seller. If before the Closing, the Property shall be materially damaged, or if the Real Property or any material portion thereof shall become subject to a bona fide threat of condemnation or shall become the subject of any proceedings, judicial, administrative or otherwise, with respect to the taking by eminent domain or condemnation (“Condemnation”), then Buyer may terminate this Agreement by written notice to Seller given within five (5) days after Buyer learns of such material damage or Condemnation, in which event

25



the Deposit shall be returned to Buyer and this Agreement shall be of no further force and effect (except for any provisions hereof that expressly survive the termination hereof). If the Closing Date is within the aforesaid five (5) day period, then the Closing shall be extended to the next Business Day following the end of said five (5) day period.

Upon the Closing, full risk of loss with respect to the Property shall pass to Buyer. For the purposes of this Section 7.1, the phrase (i) “material portion” means a portion of the Property that, if taken by condemnation or eminent domain, would render the remaining portion of the Property unfit for continued use and operation in substantially the same manner as the Property was used and operated immediately prior to any such taking, and (ii) “materially damaged” means damage reasonably exceeding fifteen percent (15%) of the Purchase Price to repair or restore.

32



approval, election, waiver or consent, no waiver of any term, condition or provision hereof shall be effective unless in writing. The waiver by either party of a breach of any provision hereof shall not be deemed a waiver of any subsequent breach whether of the same or another provision hereof.
Section 9.19    Attorneys’ Fees. If legal action is commenced to enforce or to declare the effect of any provision hereof, or any document executed in connection herewith, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover from the non-prevailing party attorneys’ fees, costs and disbursements and all other costs of enforcement (including, without limitation, fees and costs of expert witnesses and other retained consultants).
