(a) With respect to any updates to the Title Commitments or Surveys received after the Effective Date (“Updated Reports”), Purchaser shall have five (5) days after receipt of such Updated Reports to give Seller written notice (the “Title Objection Notice”) that sets forth in reasonable detail any New Matters (as defined below) reflected in the Updated Reports (any such matter or matters shall be referred to herein as “Purchaser Title Objections”); provided, however, to the extent Purchaser receives Updated Reports at any time within five (5) days of the Closing Date, Purchaser shall have one (1) Business Day after receipt of such Updated Reports to give Seller a Title Objection Notice. Seller shall have three (3) Business Days from its receipt of the Title Objection Notice, but in no case later than the Closing Date with respect to any Title Objection Notice (“Seller’s Title Election Period”) to give Purchaser written notice as to whether Seller elects to Cure the Purchaser Title Objections by the Closing Date (the “Title Objection Response”). If Seller does not give Purchaser written notice of such election before the end of Seller’s Title Election Period, Seller shall be deemed to have elected not to cure the Purchaser Title Objections.

(b) If Seller elects or is deemed to have elected not to Cure any one or more of the Purchaser Title Objections, Purchaser may: (a) waive Purchaser’s disapprovals with respect to any Purchaser Title Objections not removed or cured and proceed with Closing without delay or adjustment to the Purchase Price; (b) with respect only to New Matters that Seller elects or is deemed to have elected not to cure, exclude such individual Property related to the relevant Title Objection Notice (the “Excluded Property”) from the transactions contemplated under this Agreement, in which case (i) such Excluded Property shall be removed from the Properties sold at Closing hereunder, (ii) all references hereunder to such Excluded Property shall be deleted and (iii) the Purchase Price shall be reduced by the Allocated Share of such Excluded Property; or (c) terminate this Agreement upon written notice to Seller delivered on or before the earlier of (i) the day which is two (2) Business Days after Purchaser’s receipt of the Title Objection Response and (ii) the day which is two (2) Business Days after the expiration of Seller Title Election Period. In the event of a Purchaser termination in accordance with the foregoing, (i) the Earnest Money Deposit shall be returned to Purchaser within one (1) Business Day after Seller’s receipt of Purchaser’s termination notice, without the need for confirmation of Seller, and over any objection or potential objection of Seller; and (ii) the parties shall have no further obligations hereunder, except for those which expressly survive termination. In the event Purchaser does not so terminate this Agreement in accordance with the foregoing, to the extent Seller has not affirmatively elected to cure such Purchaser Title Objections, such Purchaser Title Objections shall constitute Permitted Exceptions and Purchaser shall take title to the Property subject to such matters.

(c) If Seller elects to Cure any one or more of the Purchaser Title Objections, Seller shall have until the Closing Date to complete such Cure, failing which Purchaser shall have the option, in Purchaser’s sole and absolute discretion, of either: (i) accepting the title as it then is; (ii) treating the affected Property as an Excluded Property pursuant to Section 4.1.4(b) if Seller failed to cure a Purchaser Title Objection related to a New Matter; or (iii) terminating this Agreement, in which case the Deposit shall be returned to Purchaser within one (1) Business Day after such termination, and the parties shall have no further obligations hereunder, except for those which expressly survive termination.

(d) As used in this Section 4.1.4, the term “New Matters” shall mean any exceptions to title or other matters affecting the Property disclosed by an Updated Report that (a) was not disclosed in the Preliminary Title Reports and/or Surveys received prior to the Effective Date (including any easements or other matters that are plottable but previously deemed not plottable by the surveyor), or if as to any Property, more than one Updated Report has been issued, such matter was not disclosed in any prior Updated Report, (b) are not caused by Purchaser and (c) have a material adverse effect on the value, use or operation of any Property.

4.1.5. Title Policies.

(a) If the Closing occurs, (i) the Title Company shall issue for each Property an ALTA 2006 extended coverage Owner’s Title Insurance Policy (or if not available, the local equivalent) (each, a “Title Policy”), insuring that Purchaser is vested with the fee simple estate for such Property, with the initial amount of insurance for such Title Policy equal to the Allocated Amount for such Property, and taking exception only for Permitted Exceptions. Purchaser and Seller shall deliver to the Title Company such affidavits, certificates and other instruments as are reasonably requested by the Title Company and customarily furnished in connection with the issuance of a Title Policy.

(b) Purchaser shall have the right, at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense, to request from the Title Company such endorsements to the Title Policies and/or such additional liability protection as Purchaser may elect to obtain; provided, however, that Purchaser’s ability to obtain such title endorsements and/or such additional liability protection shall not be a condition precedent to Purchaser’s obligations hereunder and shall not extend or delay Closing. Purchaser shall be solely responsible for negotiating with the Title Company with respect to the Title Policy and/or with respect to such title endorsements and/or such additional liability protection as may be requested by Purchaser, if any.

4.2 Inspection.

4.2.1. Prior to the date hereof, each of the Sellers made available to Purchaser certain information, documents, agreements and reports in each Seller’s possession or control relating to the Properties (collectively, the “Due Diligence Materials”) without representation or warranty of any kind or nature, whether express or implied. Notwithstanding such prior inspections, the Sellers shall cooperate and provide Purchaser and its agents, representatives, employees and/or contractors with reasonable and continuing access to the Real Property included in each Property upon at least 24 hours advance notice (which notice may be by email transmission) to the Sellers for the purpose of Purchaser’s continued inspections, which may include, but not be limited to, appraisals, tenant interviews, interviews of government officials, engineering studies, soil tests, environmental studies and underwriting analyses, as Purchaser deems necessary or advisable. Purchaser shall have the right to conduct a Phase I environmental site assessment at each of the Properties, and, if recommended by such Phase I and approved by Seller, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, a Phase II environmental site assessment at the applicable Properties (including invasive testing). Each Seller shall have the right to have a representative of such Seller present during all inspections or examinations of such Seller’s Real Property by Purchaser.

4.2.2. Prior to any entry by Purchaser or any of Purchaser’s designees onto any Property, Purchaser shall: (i) if Purchaser does not then have such a policy in force, procure a policy of commercial general liability insurance, issued by an insurer reasonably satisfactory to the Sellers, covering all of Purchaser’s activities at such Property, with a single limit of liability (per occurrence and aggregate) of not less than $2,000,000.00; and (ii) deliver to Sellers a certificate of insurance, evidencing that such insurance is in force and effect, and evidencing that the Seller that owns such Property has been named as an additional insured thereunder with respect to any of Purchaser’s activities. Such insurance shall be written on an “occurrence” basis, and shall be maintained in force until the earlier of (x) the termination of this Agreement and the conclusion of all of Purchaser’s activities, or (y) the Closing Date.

4.2.3. Purchaser, at all times, will conduct all inspections and reviews in compliance with all Legal Requirements, and in a manner so as to not cause damage, loss, cost or expense to any Seller, any Property or Tenants of any Property, and without unreasonably interfering with or disturbing any Tenants or employees at the Properties. Prior to Closing, the results of or any other information acquired pursuant to Purchaser’s inspections shall be subject to the terms and conditions of Section 12.17 below. Purchaser will promptly restore any damage to any Property caused by Purchaser’s inspection to its condition immediately preceding such inspections and examinations and will keep the Properties free and clear of any mechanic’s liens or materialmen’s liens in connection with such inspections and examinations. Purchaser shall indemnify, defend (with counsel reasonably satisfactory to Seller), protect, and hold Seller harmless from and against any and all liability, loss, cost, damage, or expense (including, without limitation, reasonable attorney’s fees and costs) that Seller may sustain or incur by reason of or in connection with any tests made by Purchaser or Purchaser’s agents or contractors relating to or in connection with any Property, or entries by Purchaser or its agents or contractors onto any Property, provided, however, in no event shall the indemnity in this Section 4.2.3 include any liability to Purchaser relating to pre-existing conditions at the Properties disclosed and/or discovered by Purchaser’s investigations or inspections.

4.2.4. At Closing, Seller shall deliver notices of termination of all Contracts and Seller shall be responsible for all costs and expenses of such terminated Contracts from Closing Date until the termination of such Contracts.

4.2.5. The cost of the inspections and tests undertaken pursuant to this Section 4.2 shall be borne solely by Purchaser.

4.2.6. Purchaser covenants and agrees that, until the Closing, all information and materials disclosed and/or delivered to it by the Sellers, or Sellers’ agents, employees and representatives (including without limitation, the Due Diligence Materials), are confidential and proprietary information, and that Purchaser shall hold the same in accordance with the terms and conditions of Section 12.17 below. Purchaser also agrees that, in the event the transactions contemplated in this Agreement are not consummated as provided herein, Purchaser shall promptly return to the Sellers or destroy (and confirm in a notice to Sellers that Purchaser has returned or destroyed) all Due Diligence Materials provided by Seller to Purchaser, and all copies thereof, together with copies of any final Phase I environmental reports or property condition reports obtained by Purchaser with respect to any of the Properties that do not include information confidential or proprietary to Purchaser, provided that Seller has paid to Purchaser the actual third party costs associated with such reports.

4.2.7. Except as expressly provided herein or in any Closing Documents, none of the Sellers makes any representations or warranties as to the truth, accuracy or completeness of any materials, data or other information, if any, supplied to Purchaser in connection with Purchaser’s inspection of any of the Properties. Except for Purchaser’s reliance on any representation and warranties expressly provided herein or in any Closing Documents, it is the parties’ express understanding and agreement that any such materials are to be provided only for Purchaser’s convenience in making its own examination and determination as to whether it wishes to purchase the Properties, and, in doing so, Purchaser shall rely exclusively on its own independent investigation and evaluation of every aspect of each Property and not on any materials supplied by the Sellers. Except for Purchaser’s reliance on any representation and warranties expressly provided herein or in any Closing Documents with respect to any such materials, Purchaser expressly disclaims any intent to rely on any such materials provided to it by the Sellers in connection with its inspection and agrees that it shall rely solely on its own independently developed or verified information.

4.2.8. The obligations of Purchaser under this Section 4.2 (including its indemnification obligations) shall survive Closing or the termination of this Agreement indefinitely.

5.5 Prorations.

5.5.1. Taxes. With respect to each Property, all non-delinquent real estate and personal property general and special taxes and assessments (collectively, “Taxes”) for such Property for the current assessment year of the applicable taxing authority in which the Closing Date occurs shall be prorated as of the Closing Date. If the exact amount of Taxes is not known at Closing, the proration will be based on an amount equal to the prior assessment year’s Taxes and shall be adjusted once actual figures become available after Closing, as part of the Final Closing Adjustment. It is understood that any supplemental property tax bill issued as a result of the sale of any Property pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement for any period following the Closing shall be borne by Purchaser and any supplemental property tax bill issued for any period prior to the Closing shall be borne by Seller. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, any and all refunds, credits, claims or rights to appeal respecting the amount of any Taxes for any period shall belong to Purchaser, except that Seller shall retain all right, title and interest in and to any such refunds given with respect to the tax appeals refund applications set forth on Schedule 5.5.1 attached hereto to the extent applicable to periods prior to Closing, unless Seller has received a credit for such amounts. If prior to the Closing Date, Seller has applied for a refund or has appealed the valuation of a Property relating to Taxes due and payable in the year in which Closing occurs, then Seller and Purchaser shall prorate any refund applicable to such period as provided in this Section 5.5.1. Each Seller is responsible for all taxes due and payable for its Property prior to the Closing Date. Each Seller shall have the right to continue and control any contest of any taxes or assessments for its Property or Properties due and payable during all tax years prior to the tax year in which Closing occurs; provided that to the extent such actions impact taxes for the tax year in which Closing occurs or any future years, Seller shall not settle any such proceeding without Purchaser’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Purchaser shall have the right to control any contest of any taxes or assessments for the Properties due and payable during the current tax year in which Closing occurs, if any. Purchaser shall have the right to control any contest of any taxes or assessments for the Properties due and payable for all tax years thereafter. Seller and Purchaser shall each reasonably cooperate with the other in connection with such contests. With respect to each Property, Seller and Purchaser shall be responsible for, and shall each pay fifty percent (50%) of all sales, use and other transfer taxes imposed in connection with the sale and transfer of the Personal Property and the Intangible Property.

5.5.2. Utility Service. To the extent commercially reasonable and practicable, the Sellers and Purchaser shall obtain billings and meter readings as of the Business Day preceding the Closing Date to aid in the proration of charges for gas, electricity and other utility services which are not the direct responsibility of Tenants. If such billings or meter readings as of the Business Day preceding the Closing Date are obtained, adjustments for any costs, expenses, charges or fees shown thereon shall be made in accordance with such billings or meter readings. If such billings or meter readings as of the Business Day preceding the Closing Date are not available for a utility service, the charges therefor shall be adjusted at the Closing on the basis of the per diem charges for the most recent prior period for which bills were issued and shall be further adjusted at the Final Closing Adjustment on the basis of the actual bills for the period in which the Closing takes place. Each Property’s Seller shall receive a credit at Closing for the Utility Deposits, if any, that are transferred or made available to Purchaser and that are held by applicable utility companies for the account of such Seller in respect of services provided to such Seller’s Property or Properties. Purchaser shall arrange for placing all utility services and bills in its own name as of the Closing Date.

5.5.3. Security Deposits. Purchaser shall be credited with and the Sellers shall be charged with an amount equal to all cash Security Deposits being held by all Sellers or Sellers’ managing agent under the Leases.

(b) Additional Rent. Subject to Section 5.5.8(c), monthly or other payments made by Tenants in advance based upon projected or estimated Additional Rent shall be prorated between each Seller and Purchaser as of the Closing Date based on the actual Additional Rent collected as of the Closing and the actual number of days in the monthly or other period for which the advance payment is made. Such proration shall be made separately for each Tenant which is obligated to pay Additional Rent on the basis of the fiscal year set forth in the Tenant’s Lease for the determination and payment of Additional Rent. Each payment of Additional Rent that is prorated pursuant to this Section 5.5.8(b), and the applicable Tenant’s payments of Additional Rent made prior to or after such prorated payment for the same calendar year or other fiscal period during which a year-end reconciliation of Additional Rent is required by the applicable Lease, shall be adjusted as part of the Final Closing Adjustment as provided below in Section 5.5.9.

(a) General. All adjustments or prorations which could not be determined at the Closing because of the lack of actual statements, bills or invoices for the current period, the year-end reconciliation of Additional Rent, or any other reason, shall be made as a part of the Final Closing Adjustment. Any net adjustment in favor of Purchaser shall be paid in cash by the Sellers to Purchaser no later than thirty (30) days after the Final Closing Adjustment. Any net adjustment in favor of the Sellers shall be paid in cash by Purchaser to the Sellers no later than thirty (30) days after the Final Closing Adjustment.

(b) Additional Rent Adjustment. Each Seller and Purchaser shall prorate the actual amount of Additional Rent paid by each Tenant at such Seller’s Property for such Tenant’s applicable fiscal year (“Tenant’s Fiscal Year”) as follows:

(i) Within ninety (90) days after Closing, Seller shall prepare and deliver to Purchaser a final reconciliation of Additional Rent under the Leases for the periods prior to Closing (the “Seller’s Additional Rent Adjustment”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Lease expires or is otherwise terminated within ninety (90) days after Closing, Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to prepare and deliver to Purchaser , within thirty (30) days of the expiration or earlier termination of such Lease, a final reconciliation of Additional Rent under such Lease for the periods prior to Closing; provided with respect to any such termination, Seller has received written notice thereof from Purchaser. Purchaser will be responsible for crediting or billing the applicable Seller’s Additional Rent Adjustment during Purchaser’s ordinary course reconciliation process for a Tenant’s applicable Tenant Fiscal Year (or, if completed upon the expiration of a Tenant’s Lease, then in connection with such final reconciliation).

(ii) If Purchaser receives any sums due from Tenant for Seller’s Additional Rent Adjustment, then Purchaser shall apply such sums, when received, in accordance with the terms of Section 5.5.8(c). If, in turn, any sums are due to Tenant for Seller’s reconciliation period, then Seller shall pay such sums to Purchaser within fifteen (15) days of demand therefor after notifying Tenant of such sum and Purchaser shall remit such funds directly to the Tenant (or apply such amount against any Delinquent Rent then outstanding).

(c) No Further Adjustments. The Final Closing Adjustment shall be conclusive and binding upon the Sellers and Purchaser, and the Sellers and Purchaser hereby waive any right to contest after the Final Closing Adjustment any prorations, apportionments or adjustments to be made pursuant to this Section 5.

5.5.10. General Provisions. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, all apportionments and adjustments shall be made in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The computation of the adjustments shall be jointly prepared by the Sellers and Purchaser. In the event any prorations or apportionments made under this Section 5.5 shall prove to be incorrect for any reason, then any party shall be entitled to an adjustment to correct the same in accordance with the remaining terms of this Section 5.5.10. For proration purposes, the day that falls on the Closing Date shall be charged to Purchaser.

5.5.11. Survival. The provisions of this Section 5.5 shall survive Closing indefinitely.

5.6 Closing Costs. With respect to each Property, Purchaser shall bear the cost of (i) the title searches and preparation of the Title Commitments prepared by the Title Company, and the premium for the Title Policy and any and all endorsements to the Title Policy requested by Purchaser or its lender; (ii) the cost to update any survey for any Property; (iii) one-half (1/2) of the transfer and recordation taxes for each Property located in Maryland; (v) the grantee’s taxes payable for each Property located in Virginia pursuant to Virginia Code Sections 58.01-801 and 58.01-814; (vi) all de minimis recording fees for the Deeds; (vii) one-half (1/2) of all escrow and closing fees relating to the sale of such Property; (viii) all escrow and closing fees relating to Purchaser’s financing; (ix) any mortgage taxes or recording fees for any mortgages securing Purchaser’s financing; and (x) the fees and charges of third parties engaged by Purchaser in connection with any environmental reports obtained in connection with its review of the Property.

Each party shall pay its own attorneys’ fees pertaining to the sale of the Properties. All other costs pertaining to the sale of each Property shall be allocated as is customary for real estate transactions where such Property is located. The parties agree to cooperate in all reasonable respects to minimize all such costs, premiums, taxes, and fees.

VI. ADDITIONAL COVENANTS

6.1 Seller Covenants. Each Seller (but solely for itself and its own Property or Properties, and not for any other Seller or any other Seller’s Property) covenants to Purchaser as follows with respect to its Property or each of its Properties:

6.1.1. Continued Care and Maintenance. Prior to Closing, such Seller agrees: (i) to continue its care, maintenance and operation of its Property on substantially the same standards as employed by such Seller to date; (ii) not to make any alterations or changes to any of such Seller’s Property, other than ordinary and necessary maintenance and repairs, without Purchaser’s prior approval, which approval may be withheld in Purchaser’s sole discretion (provided, however, such Seller may make any alterations or changes to the Property that are required by any Lease or by applicable law without Purchaser’s prior approval, so long as Seller delivers written notice to Purchaser prior to such alteration); and (iii) to maintain in effect all policies of casualty and liability insurance or similar policies of insurance, with no less than the limits of coverage now carried with respect to such Seller’s Property. Nothing contained herein shall prevent such Seller from acting to prevent loss of life, personal injury or property damage in emergency situations, or prevent such Seller from performing any act with respect to such Seller’s Property which may be required by any Lease, applicable law, rule or governmental regulations, provided that such Seller shall notify Purchaser of any emergency situations as soon as reasonably possible thereafter.

6.1.2. Leasing of the Property. From and after the Effective Date, Seller shall not (a) enter into any new Leases for the Property, (b) amend, renew, extend, accept the surrender of or otherwise modify any existing Leases for the Property, or (c) consent to any sublease or assignment under any Lease, in each case, without the prior written approval of Purchaser, which may be given or withheld in Purchaser’s sole and absolute direction. Seller shall give notice to Purchaser of its request to enter into a new Lease (or any modifications, amendments, supplements and/or terminations), which notice shall include the amount of space involved, the length of the lease term, the proposed financial terms thereof (including any rent abatement periods or other concessions), the amount of any Leasing Commission, any TI Obligations, and a copy of the form of Lease, Lease amendment or other document to be executed. Further, after the Effective Date, Seller shall promptly notify Purchaser of any material correspondence received from or sent to Tenants regarding the Leases. Purchaser shall have ten (10) days after receipt of such notice to notify such Seller of its objections, if any, to any such proposed Lease amendment, modification, supplement, termination or extension or renewal of any existing Lease or sublease or assignment. Purchaser’s failure to object to a proposed Lease or the modification, termination, extension or renewal of any existing Lease within the ten (10)-day period described above shall be deemed an approval by Purchaser. Notwithstanding the foregoing Purchaser’s consent shall not be required for new Leases and renewals or extensions of existing Leases evidencing or reflecting the exercise by Tenants of any rights or options under existing Leases. Nothing in this Agreement shall be interpreted to require any Seller to lease any additional space in its Property as a condition to the sale of such Property, and none of the Sellers shall have any obligation to enter into or to seek any Leases for its Property prior to the Closing Date.

6.1.3. Tenant Estoppel Certificates. Prior to Closing, each Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain and deliver to Purchaser from the Tenant under each Lease of such Seller’s Property an estoppel certificate in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit “O-1” or, if any Lease requires a different form, in the form required by such Lease, all dated no more than thirty (30) days prior to the Closing Date (each, a “Tenant Estoppel Certificate”). None of the Sellers shall be in default for failure to obtain any Tenant Estoppel Certificates, although for the avoidance of doubt the failure by the Sellers to deliver the Tenant Estoppel Certificates as contemplated by Section 8.2.4 shall be a failure of a condition to Purchaser’s obligation to close the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Prior to the date on which Seller intends to distribute the Tenant Estoppels to the Tenants for their completion and execution, Seller shall deliver the draft Tenant Estoppels to Purchaser (i) for Purchaser’s review and, (ii) as relates to the factual information included in such draft Tenant Estoppels or to the extent the draft Tenant Estoppels are not substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit “O-1” , for Purchaser’s approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Purchaser shall either give such approval or provide comments to such draft Tenant Estoppels within two (2) Business Days of receipt thereof. If any of the Properties includes a Lease under which the Tenant is the GSA, such Property’s Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a novation agreement with respect to such Lease before Closing and, if such novation agreement is not obtained as of the Closing, such Seller shall continue to use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such novation agreement as soon as is practicable after Closing. With respect to any such Lease to a GSA Tenant, the term “Tenant Estoppel Certificate” as used herein shall mean a statement of lease in form reasonably satisfactory to the GSA Tenant thereunder. The provisions of this Section 6.1.3 pertaining to novation agreements shall expressly survive the Closing.

6.1.4. Subordination and Attornment Agreements. If Purchaser’s lender requests that a Tenant agree in writing to subordinate its Lease to a mortgage lien securing Purchaser’s acquisition financing, or to attorn to such lender or its designee or successor in title in connection with the exercise of such lender’s remedies under its acquisition financing lien, then the Seller whose Property is subject to the applicable Lease shall do the following, in each case only upon written request by the Purchaser: (a) such Seller shall request in writing that the applicable Tenant execute a subordination and/or attornment agreement in favor of the Purchaser’s lender, in a form provided by Purchaser’s lender or as set forth in such Tenant’s lease; (b) such Seller shall follow up with the applicable Tenant in writing to determine whether such Tenant will comply with the request made in the foregoing clause (a); and (c) such Seller shall take reasonable steps requested by Purchaser to enforce the obligations of such Tenant under its Lease (to the extent such obligations are referenced in the Purchaser’s request) with respect to the execution of the agreement provided to such Tenant pursuant to the foregoing clause (a), subject to any conditions in such Tenant’s lease, including that the requested agreement contain non-disturbance language in favor of such Tenant. For the avoidance of doubt, it shall not be a condition to Purchaser’s obligation to proceed with the Closing that the Purchaser or its lender obtain any one or more of the subordination or attornment agreements requested from Tenants pursuant to this Section 6.1.4, and no Seller shall have any obligation to provide any certificate, agreement or other undertaking in lieu of a subordination or attornment agreement not obtained from a Tenant, or to take any action with respect to such agreements except as expressly set forth in this Section 6.1.4.

6.1.6. Contracts. Seller shall not, from and after the Effective Date, enter into any new service contracts for the Property or modifications, renewals or terminations of any existing Contracts, without the written consent of Purchaser, which consent may be given or withheld in Purchaser’s sole and absolute discretion, unless such service contract is terminable prior to Closing with no cost to Purchaser.

7.4 Seller’s Knowledge. Wherever the phrase “to Seller’s actual knowledge” or any similar phrase stating or implying a limitation on the basis of knowledge appears in this Agreement in respect of a Seller, such phrase shall mean only the present actual knowledge of Nicholas R. Smith, Executive Vice President and Chief Investment Officer of FPO, Michael Murillo, Manager of Transactions of FPO, Stacy Purdy, Director of Property Management of FPO, and James L. Thomas, Jr., Director of Property Management of FPO, without any personal liability. Wherever the phrase “in Seller’s possession”, “in the possession of Seller” or similar phrase appears in this Agreement, such phrase shall be deemed to mean only to the extent the material or other item referred to by such phrase is located at a Property or in the Sellers’ offices in Bethesda, Maryland.

7.5 Seller shall immediately notify Purchaser, in writing, of any event or condition known to Seller which occurs prior to the Closing, which causes a material change in the facts relating to, or the truth of, any of the representations or warranties. If prior to Closing, Seller has provided Purchaser a written notice pursuant to this Section 7.5, Seller shall have the right (but not the obligation) to attempt to cure such misrepresentation or breach to Purchaser’s reasonable satisfaction within ten (10) days after Seller’s receipt thereof (which cure period may adjourn Closing, if necessary). In the event Seller is able to so cure, the parties hereunder shall proceed to Closing subject to the other terms and conditions of this Agreement. Except as provided in this Section 7.5 below, if Seller elects to attempt to so cure but is unable to so cure, or if Seller does not elect to so cure, then Purchaser may elect, as its sole remedy for any and all such representations which become, after the Effective Date, materially false, untrue, inaccurate or incorrect in any respect which has a material adverse effect on the use, occupancy or operation of the Property and of which Purchaser receives prior written notice from Seller pursuant to this Section 7.5, in its sole and absolute discretion, to (i) waive such misrepresentations or breaches of representations and warranties and consummate the transaction contemplated hereby without any reduction of or credit against the Purchase Price; or (ii) terminate this Agreement at any time after the expiration of ten (10) days following Seller’s receipt of Purchaser’s notice with respect to all of the Properties, in which event the entirety of the Earnest Money Deposit shall be promptly returned to Purchaser, Purchaser shall receive a reimbursement of its actual costs, subject to the Cost Cap, pursuant to Section 9.2 and the parties shall have no further obligations to each other, except those which expressly survive termination hereunder.

VIII. CONDITIONS PRECEDENT TO CLOSING

8.1 Conditions to Sellers’ Obligations. The obligation of the Sellers to close the transaction contemplated hereunder shall be subject to the satisfaction of each of the following conditions precedent:

8.1.1. Each of Purchaser’s representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement shall be true and correct in all material respects as of the Closing Date as if made on and as of such date.

8.1.2. Purchaser shall have performed all of its obligations under this Agreement required at or prior to Closing, in all material respects.

8.1.3. No order or injunction of any court or administrative agency of competent jurisdiction nor any statute, rule, regulation or executive order promulgated by any governmental authority of competent jurisdiction shall be in effect as of the Closing which restrains or prohibits the transfer of the Property or the consummation of any other transaction contemplated hereby.

8.1.4. No action, suit or other proceeding shall be pending which shall have been brought by any person or entity (other than the parties hereto and their affiliates) (i) to restrain, prohibit or change in any material respect the purchase and sale of the Property or the consummation of any other transaction contemplated hereby or (ii) seeking material damages with respect to such purchase and sale or any other transaction contemplated hereby.

The foregoing conditions contained in this Section 8.1 are intended solely for the benefit of the Sellers. The Sellers shall at all times have the right to waive any condition precedent, provided that such waiver is in writing and delivered to Purchaser and Escrow Agent.

8.2 Conditions to Purchaser’s Obligations. The obligations of Purchaser to close the transaction contemplated hereunder shall be subject to the satisfaction of each of the following conditions precedent, and Purchaser shall have no right to terminate this Agreement or delay the Closing for any other reason:

8.2.1. Each Seller’s representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement shall be true and correct in all material respects as of the Closing Date as if made on and as of such date;

8.2.2. The Sellers shall have performed all of the Sellers’ obligations under this Agreement required to be performed at or prior to Closing.

8.2.3. The Sellers shall have delivered to Purchaser Tenant Estoppel Certificates from (i) sufficient Tenants so that there shall have been obtained, in the aggregate, Tenant Estoppel Certificates covering not less than 70% of the Leased Space (including at least the Super Major Tenants and four (4) out of seven (7) of the Major Tenants) that is not leased to the GSA or to any other instrumentality of the U.S. federal government (for example, if the total Leased Space were 125 square feet, and if the GSA and other U.S. federal government tenants leased 25 square feet of the Leased Space, the required threshold pursuant to this Section 8.2.3 would be 70 square feet, or 70% of 100 square feet), (ii) all of the Tenants listed on Schedule 8.2.3(a) attached hereto (the “Super Major Tenants”), and (iii) at least four (4) of the Tenants listed on Schedule 8.2.3(b) attached hereto (the “Major Tenants”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any Lease, a Seller shall have the right (but shall not be obligated) to substitute an estoppel certificate executed by such Seller (a “Seller Estoppel Certificate”) containing the information set forth in the form of the Seller’s Estoppel Certificate attached hereto as Exhibit “O-2” with respect to such Lease, and such estoppel certificate shall have the same effect under this Section 8.2.3 as an estoppel certificate executed by the Tenant; provided, however, that Seller Estoppel Certificates shall not be permitted to cover either (x) Major Tenants or Super Major Tenants or (y) more than 15% of the Leased Space (including Major Tenants and Super Major Tenants) that is not leased to the GSA or to any other instrumentality of the U.S. federal government. If the applicable Tenant shall thereafter provide a Tenant Estoppel Certificate to Purchaser, then such Seller’s Estoppel Certificate shall thereupon be null and void and of no further force or effect. For purposes of this Section 8.2.3 only, the term “Leased Space” shall not include any space leased by the GSA or another instrumentality of the U.S. federal government.

8.2.4. At Closing, the Title Company shall irrevocably commit to issue to Purchaser a Title Policy insuring Purchaser’s fee simple title to the Land, as applicable, and fee simple title to the Improvements, for each Property for an amount equal to the Allocated Share for such Property, subject only to the Permitted Exceptions.

8.2.5. No order or injunction of any court or administrative agency of competent jurisdiction nor any statute, rule, regulation or executive order promulgated by any governmental authority of competent jurisdiction shall be in effect as of the Closing which restrains or prohibits the transfer of the Property or the consummation of any other transaction contemplated hereby.

8.2.6. No action, suit or other proceeding shall be pending which shall have been brought by any person or entity (other than the parties hereto and their affiliates) (i) to restrain, prohibit or change in any material respect the purchase and sale of the Property or the consummation of any other transaction contemplated hereby or (ii) seeking material damages with respect to such purchase and sale or any other transaction contemplated hereby.

The foregoing conditions contained in this Section 8.2 are intended solely for the benefit of Purchaser. Purchaser shall at all times have the right to waive any condition precedent, provided that such waiver is in writing and delivered to the Sellers and Escrow Agent.

8.3 Failure of Conditions to Closing. The Sellers and Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to satisfy the conditions to Closing set forth herein. If the Closing does not occur because of the failure of one of the conditions set forth in Section 8.1, the Sellers shall have the remedies set forth in Section 9.1. If the Closing does not occur because of the failure of one of the Conditions set forth in Section 8.2 (other than Section 8.2.4), the Purchaser shall have the remedies set forth in Section 9.2. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Closing does not occur because of the failure of one of the Conditions set forth in Section 8.2.4, then the Purchaser’s sole remedy shall be to terminate this Agreement, whereupon the Earnest Money Deposit shall be delivered to the Purchaser and neither party shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder, each to the other, except for any obligations or rights that expressly survive termination of this Agreement.

IX. REMEDIES FOR DEFAULTS

9.1 Default by Purchaser Prior to Closing. If the sale contemplated hereby is not consummated because of a material default by Purchaser in its obligation to purchase the Properties in accordance with the terms of this Agreement (a “Purchaser Default”), then the Sellers’ sole remedy shall be to terminate this Agreement, whereupon the Earnest Money Deposit shall be delivered to the Sellers and neither party shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder, each to the other, except for any obligations or rights that expressly survive termination of this Agreement, and the right of the Sellers to collect such liquidated damages from Purchaser and Escrow Agent. If the Closing does not occur because of a Purchaser Default, Purchaser and the Sellers agree that it would be impractical and extremely difficult to estimate the damages which the Sellers may suffer. Therefore, Purchaser and the Sellers hereby agree that, in the event of a Purchaser Default, a reasonable estimate of the total damages that the Sellers would suffer from a Purchaser Default is and shall be an amount equal to the Earnest Money Deposit. Said amount shall be the full, agreed and liquidated damages, and not a penalty, for the Purchaser Default, and the recovery of such amount, shall be the Sellers’ sole remedy at law or in equity as a result of a Purchaser Default. Purchaser hereby waives and releases any right to (and hereby covenants that it shall not) sue Seller or seek or claim a refund of the Earnest Money Deposit (or any part thereof) on the grounds it is unreasonable in amount and exceeds Seller’s actual damages or that its retention by Seller constitutes a penalty and not agreed upon and reasonable liquidated damages. All of the claims to damages or other remedies as a result of a Purchaser Default are expressly waived by the Sellers.

9.2 Default by the Sellers Prior to Closing.

9.2.1. If (a) the condition to Closing set forth in Section 8.2.1 is not satisfied as of the Closing Date, (b) after all of the conditions to the Sellers’ obligations to proceed with the Closing have been satisfied or, in lieu thereof, waived by the Purchaser, the Sellers fail to deposit the documents and instruments specifically listed in Section 5.2 hereof with Escrow Agent on the Closing Date, (c) the condition to Closing set forth in Section 8.2.3 is not satisfied as of the Closing Date or (d) Seller fails to perform any of its obligations or its otherwise in default hereunder or breaches a representation or warranty in any material respect (any of the foregoing circumstances being referred to herein as a “Seller Default”), then Purchaser’s sole remedy shall be: (i) pursue an action against the Sellers for specific performance, provided that such action must be initiated within sixty (60) days following the date on which the Closing should have occurred in accordance with this Agreement and provided that Purchaser does not elect its remedy under subsection (ii) as to clause (b) of this Section 9.2.1; or (ii) terminate this Agreement as and when permitted pursuant to Section 9.2.3, receive a return of the Earnest Money Deposit and receive prompt reimbursement by Seller of Purchaser’s out-of-pocket third party costs actually incurred in connection with the Agreement and Purchaser’s potential acquisition of the Properties (including, without limitation, legal and due diligence costs and expenses), not to exceed $350,000 (the “Cost Cap”).

9.2.2. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if Purchaser would otherwise have the right to terminate this Agreement because of a Seller Default affecting one or more of the Properties, then Purchaser and the Sellers shall each have the right to postpone the Closing Date in accordance with this Section 9.2.2 (the “Delayed Closing Right”). If a Seller Default has occurred, Purchaser shall deliver notice to the Sellers on or prior to the Closing Date (a “Default Notice”), indicating whether or not Purchaser will exercise the Delayed Closing Right. If the Purchaser has not elected to exercise the Delayed Closing Right, the Sellers shall have the right, by written notice to the Purchaser delivered within five (5) Business Days after the intended Closing Date, to exercise the Delayed Closing Right to cure any Seller Default. If either the Sellers or the Purchaser elects to exercise the Delayed Closing Right, then the following provisions shall apply: (a) the Closing Date shall be postponed until a date that is not later than thirty (30) days after the Closing Date and (b) if the Sellers cure the Seller Default within such thirty (30) days, Purchaser shall be obligated to purchase the Properties promptly after such cure is completed (but no earlier than ten (10) days after such cure).

9.2.3. If neither the Sellers nor the Purchaser elect to exercise the Delayed Closing Right to allow for the cure of a Seller Default as provided above in Section 9.2.1, then the Purchaser shall be entitled to terminate this Agreement in its entirety by written notice to the Sellers given on or before the date that is fifteen (15) Business Days after the Closing Date. If the Closing Date is postponed as provided above in Section 9.2.2, but if a Seller Default remains uncured at the end of the thirty (30) day period set forth therein, then the Purchaser shall have the right to terminate this Agreement, by written notice to the Sellers within five (5) Business Days after the end of such thirty (30) day period. Upon the termination of this Agreement by the Purchaser pursuant to this Section 9.2.3 (a) the Earnest Money Deposit shall be returned to Purchaser and (b) neither party shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder, each to the other, except any indemnification obligations, the rights of the Sellers and Purchaser that survive as provided herein.

9.3 Indemnity; Limitations of Purchaser’s Post-Closing Claims. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary herein or in any Closing Document Seller shall indemnify and hold Purchaser, its affiliates, members and partners, and the partners, shareholders, officers, directors, employees, representatives and agents of each of foregoing (collectively, the “Purchaser Related Entities”) harmless from and against any and all Claims arising out of, or in any way relating to, (a) any breach of any representation or warranty of Seller contained in this Agreement or in any Closing Document made by any of the Sellers and (b) any breach of any covenant of Seller which survives the Closing contained in this Agreement or in any Closing Document. Provided, however, (1) Seller shall not be required to indemnify Purchaser or any Purchaser-Related Entities under this Agreement unless and until (and only to the extent) that the Losses incurred by the Purchaser exceeds the Threshold Amount, in which event the full amount of Purchaser’s damages shall be payable by Seller and (2) in no event shall the liability of Seller with respect to the indemnification provided for in this Section 9.3 exceed in the aggregate the Cap Amount As used herein: (i) “Threshold Amount” means an amount equal to $50,000, and (ii) the “Cap Amount” means an amount equal to 2% of the Purchase Price.

9.4 Other Limitations of Purchaser’s Claims. Purchaser shall not make any Claim or bring any proceeding to enforce the liability of a Seller unless Purchaser believes, in good faith, that it would be entitled to recover all or a portion of the alleged damages or other liability notwithstanding the limitations on such Seller’s liability set forth above in Section 9.3. In no event shall any Seller be liable for indirect, special, exemplary, consequential or punitive damages of any kind, and Purchaser shall be barred from and hereby waives any Claim for the same.

9.5 Survival of Purchaser’s Claims. Except as otherwise specifically set forth in this Agreement, the representations and warranties, covenants and indemnities of the Sellers contained herein or in any Closing Document shall survive only until the date that is twelve (12) months after the Closing Date (the “Survival Date”). Any Claim that Purchaser may have at any time against a Seller for breach of any such representation, warranty, covenant or indemnity, whether known or unknown, with respect to which a written notice providing specific details of the alleged breach (a “Claim Notice”) has not been delivered to the Sellers on or prior to the Survival Date, shall not be valid or effective and the party against whom such Claim is asserted shall have no liability with respect thereto. Any Claim that Purchaser may have at any time against a Seller for a breach of any such representation or warranty, or its covenants and indemnities whether known or unknown, with respect to which a Claim Notice has been delivered to the Sellers on or prior to the Survival Date (a “Pending Claim”) may be the subject of subsequent litigation brought by Purchaser against the Sellers within thirty (30) days following the Survival Date. For the avoidance of doubt, on the Survival Date, each Seller shall be fully discharged and released (without the need for separate releases or other documentation) from any liability or obligation to Purchaser and/or its successors and assigns with respect to any Claims or any other matter relating to this Agreement or any Closing Document, except for those matters that are then the subject of the pending Claim Notice delivered by Purchaser to the Sellers that is still pending on the Survival Date, and except for liabilities with respect to any representation, warranty, covenant or indemnity that survives indefinitely pursuant to an express provision of this Agreement.

9.6 Survival of Sellers’ Claims. Except as otherwise specifically set forth in this Agreement, the representations and warranties, covenants and indemnities of Purchaser contained herein or in any document or instrument executed by Purchaser and delivered to the Sellers at or in connection with the Closing (collectively, “Purchaser Closing Documents”) shall survive only until the Survival Date. Any Claim that the Sellers may have any time against Purchaser for breach of any such representation, warranty, covenant, or indemnity (other than a representation, warranty, covenant or indemnity that survives indefinitely pursuant to an express provision of this Agreement), whether known or unknown, with respect to which a Claim Notice has not been delivered to Purchaser on or prior to the Survival Date, shall not be valid or effective and the party against whom such Claim is asserted shall have no liability with respect thereto. Any Claim that the Sellers may have at any time against Purchaser for a breach of any such representation or warranty, covenants and indemnities whether known or unknown, with respect to which a Claim Notice has been delivered to Purchaser on or prior to the Survival Date may be the subject of subsequent litigation brought by the Sellers against Purchaser within thirty (30) days following the Survival Date. For the avoidance of doubt, on the Survival Date, Purchaser shall be fully discharged and released (without the need for separate releases or other documentation) from any liability or obligation to the Sellers and/or their successors and assigns with respect to any Claims or any other matter relating to this Agreement or any Purchaser Closing Document, except for those matters that are then the subject of the pending Claim Notice delivered by the Sellers to Purchaser that is still pending on the Survival Date, and except for liabilities with respect to any representation, warranty, covenant or indemnity that survives indefinitely pursuant to an express provision of this Agreement. Purchaser shall not be required to indemnify Seller under this Agreement unless and until (and only to the extent) that the Losses incurred by the Seller exceeds the Threshold Amount, in which event the full amount of Seller’s damages shall be payable by Purchaser and (2) in no event shall the liability of Purchaser with respect to the indemnification provided for in this Section 9.5 exceed in the aggregate the Cap Amount.

9.7 Limitations on Liability.

9.7.1. The parties hereto confirm and agree that in each instance herein where a party or its Affiliates is entitled to payment or reimbursement for damages, costs or expenses pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, any payment or reimbursement made to such party shall be conclusively deemed to be for the account of both such party and its Affiliates, it being acknowledged and agreed that a payment or reimbursement made to such party for damages, costs or expenses shall be sufficient to satisfy all claims for payment or reimbursement of such party and its Affiliates. The parties further confirm and agree that no party hereto (a “Non-Performing Party”) will be deemed to be in default hereunder or be liable for any breach of its representations and warranties under this Agreement if its failure to perform an obligation hereunder is based solely on the non-performance of another party to this Agreement (which other party is not an Affiliate of the Non-Performing Party) or where all conditions precedent to the obligation of such Non-Performing Party to consummate the Closing have not been fulfilled. In no event will either party be liable to the other for any indirect, special, consequential or punitive damages of any kind.

9.7.2. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, no shareholder, member, partner, director, officer or employee of any party to this Agreement shall have any personal liability with respect to the liabilities or obligations of such party under this Agreement or any document executed by such party pursuant to this Agreement.

9.8 Survival. Article IX shall survive the Closing.

X. BROKERS

The Sellers represent and warrant to Purchaser, and Purchaser represents and warrants to the Sellers, that except for Eastdil Secured (“Broker”), no broker or finder has been engaged by the Sellers, Purchaser or their affiliates, respectively, in connection with the transaction contemplated by this Agreement or to its knowledge is in any way connected with this transaction. Purchaser shall be responsible for the payment of any commission, finder’s fee or other sum initiated by any broker, commission agent or other person engaged or retained by Purchaser in connection with the transaction contemplated by this Agreement. The Sellers shall be responsible for the payment of any commission, finder’s fee or other sum initiated by any broker, commission agent or other person engaged or retained by the Sellers in connection with the transaction contemplated by this Agreement, including without limitation, Broker. The Sellers and Purchaser (except with respect to the commission which shall be paid by the Sellers to Broker) each agree to Indemnify the other with respect to Claims for payment of any commission, finder’s fee or other sum initiated by any broker, commission agent or other person which such party or its representatives has engaged or retained or with which it has had discussions concerning or which shall be based upon any statement or agreement alleged to have been made by such party, in connection with the transaction contemplated by this Agreement or the sale of all of the Properties by the Sellers. The provisions of this Article X shall survive the Closing.

This Agreement shall become effective upon the due execution and delivery of this Agreement to the parties hereto.

12.5 Assignment. Purchaser may not assign, convey and otherwise transfer all or any part of its interest or rights herein without the prior written consent of the Sellers, which consent may be withheld in the Sellers’ sole discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, Purchaser may (without the Sellers consent but with advance written notice to the Sellers), by not later than three (3) days prior to Closing, assign and transfer in whole or in part all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (or designate its right to acquire title to the Properties) to one (1) or more assignees or designees that is owned, directly or indirectly, by Purchaser or the owners of Purchaser; provided, however, that Purchaser shall not be released of its obligations under this Agreement as a result of any such assignment or designation. Any assignment or designation as permitted in the preceding sentence shall be conditioned upon Purchaser delivering to the Sellers and Escrow Agent, within three (3) days prior to the Closing, notice thereof, and copies of the documents, if any, by or between Purchaser and such assignee or designee authorizing such assignment.

12.6 IRS – Form 1099-S.

12.7 Successors and Assigns. Subject to the provisions of Section 12.5 hereof, this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties’ respective successors and permitted assigns.

12.8 Time is of the Essence. Time is of the essence of this Agreement.

12.9 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, and Exhibits and Schedules and other documents and instruments attached to or referenced herein, contain the entire understanding and agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the purchase and sale of all of the Properties, and all prior and contemporaneous understandings, letters of intent, agreements and representations, whether oral or written, are entirely superseded. Except for any of the following expressly contained in this Agreement, the Sellers and Purchaser each expressly disclaim any reliance on any oral or written representations, warranties, comments, statements or assurances made by the Sellers, Purchaser, and any of their respective affiliates, and their respective agents, employees, representatives, attorneys or brokers, as an inducement or otherwise, to Purchaser’s and the Sellers’ respective execution hereof. No amendment of this Agreement shall be binding unless in writing and executed by the parties hereto.

12.10 Further Assurances. Whenever and so often as reasonably requested by a party, the other party will promptly execute and deliver or cause to be executed and delivered all such other and further instruments, documents or assurances, and promptly do or cause to be done all such other and further things as may be necessary and reasonably required in order to further and more fully vest in such requesting party all rights, interests, powers, benefits privileges and advantages conferred or intended to be conferred upon it by this Agreement, or to effectuate the termination of this Agreement and cancellation of the Escrow (if otherwise permitted hereunder). The terms of this section shall survive Closing and/or termination of this Agreement.

12.11 Waiver. Failure or delay by either party to insist on the strict performance of any covenant, term, provision or condition hereunder, or to exercise any option herein contained, or to pursue any claim or right arising herefrom, shall not constitute or be construed as a waiver of such covenant, term, provision, condition, option, claim or right (except that if a party proceeds to Closing, notwithstanding the failure of a condition to its obligation to close, then such condition shall be deemed waived by virtue of the Closing). Any waiver by either party shall be

effective only if in a writing delivered to the other party hereto and setting forth, with specificity, the covenant, term, provision or condition so waived. Any such waiver shall not constitute or be construed as a continuing waiver of any subsequent default.

12.12 Headings. The headings of this Agreement are for purposes of convenience only and shall not limit or define the meaning of the provisions of this Agreement.

12.13 Risk of Loss. With respect to each Property, the risk of loss shall be as follows:

12.13.1. Risk of Loss. Until the Closing Date, each Seller shall bear the risk of loss resulting from damage to such Seller’s Property by fire or other casualty (collectively “Casualty”). If, prior to the Closing Date, a Property shall be damaged by any Casualty, such Property’s Seller shall promptly deliver to Purchaser a Notice (“Casualty Notice”) of such event and an estimate of the cost to repair and restore the Improvements to good condition and to replace the damaged Personal Property (“Casualty Renovation Cost”).

12.13.2. Material Loss. If the Casualty Renovation Cost (a) for any single Property that is not a Multi-Building Property exceeds ten percent (10%) of such Property’s Allocated Amount, (b) for any single Multi-Building Property exceeds six percent (6%) of such Property’s Allocated Amount, or (c) in the aggregate for all of the Properties that have suffered a casualty, exceeds ten percent (10%) of the Purchase Price, then Purchaser may, at its option, elect to terminate this Agreement with respect to (i) only the impacted Property or Properties that each exceeds ten percent (10%) of such Property’s Allocated Amount for Properties that are not Multi-Building Properties, and six percent (6%) of such Property’s Allocated Amount for Multi-Building Properties, or (ii) with respect to all Properties only if the aggregate Casualty Renovation Costs for all Properties exceed ten percent (10%) of the Purchase Price, in which case the entire Earnest Money Deposit shall be promptly returned to Purchaser and the parties shall have no further obligations, except those that expressly survive termination of this Agreement. Such termination right may be exercised only by Notice to the Seller within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of the Casualty Notice (and if necessary the Closing Date will be extended to accommodate such ten (10) Business Day period), and in the event of a termination hereof with respect to the impacted Property or Properties, the Purchase Price shall be reduced by the Allocated Amount of the impacted Property or Properties. If this Agreement can be terminated pursuant to the preceding provisions of this Section 12.13.2, but Purchaser does not elect to terminate this Agreement pursuant to such provision, then the Closing shall take place as provided herein without reduction of the Purchase Price, and the Sellers shall assign the insurance proceeds to Purchaser in the event the Casualty is insured against and the Sellers shall pay to Purchaser the amount of any deductible not already otherwise paid by the Sellers under applicable insurance policies, or have the Purchase Price reduced by all or a portion of Casualty Renovation Cost in the event all or a portion of the Casualty is not insured against.

12.13.3. Nonmaterial Loss. If the Casualty Renovation Cost (a) for any single Property that is not a Multi-Building Property does not exceed ten percent (10%) of such Property’s Allocated Amount, (b) for any single Multi-Building Property does not exceed six percent (6%) of such Property’s Allocated Amount or (c) in the aggregate for all Properties that have suffered a casualty, does not exceed ten percent (10%) of the Purchase Price, then, in any such event, Purchaser shall not have any right to terminate this Agreement, and the Closing shall take place as provided herein without reduction of the Purchase Price, but the Sellers shall assign the insurance proceeds to Purchaser in the event the Casualty is insured against and shall pay to Purchaser the amount of any deductible, under applicable insurance policies and have the Purchase Price reduced by the all or a portion of the Casualty Renovation Cost in the event all or a portion of the Casualty is not insured against.

12.13.4. Eminent Domain. If, prior to the Closing Date, any Seller receives notice that a material portion of one of its Properties (or access or other material rights in connection therewith) as would, in Purchaser’s reasonable judgment, materially adversely affect access to and from such Property, the operation of such Property or uses or value of such Property is, or has been threatened in writing by a governmental authority of competent jurisdiction, to be taken by condemnation or eminent domain, such Seller shall promptly notify Purchaser, and at the election of Purchaser this Agreement shall upon the giving of Notice of such event or of the condemning authorities’ intention so to take such Property, terminate with respect only to the impacted Property, in which event as to such impacted Property the parties shall have no further rights or obligations hereunder, except those matters specifically surviving termination or Closing, but the Closing shall proceed with respect to the remaining Properties (with the Purchase Price reduced by the Allocated Purchase Price of the impacted Property). If Purchaser does not elect to terminate this Agreement prior to the Closing Date, on the Closing Date all of the proceeds of any award or payment made or to be made by reason of such taking shall be assigned by such Seller to Purchaser, and any money theretofore received by such Seller in connection with such taking shall be paid over to Purchaser, whereupon Purchaser shall pay the Purchase Price without abatement by reason of such taking. Such Seller shall not settle, agree to, or accept any award or payment in connection with a taking of less than all of the Property without obtaining Purchaser’s prior written consent in each case, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

12.14 Construction of Agreement. The parties hereto have negotiated this Agreement at length, and have had the opportunity to consult with, and be represented by, their own competent counsel. This Agreement is, therefore, deemed to have been jointly prepared. In determining the meaning of, or resolving any ambiguity with respect to, any word, phrase or provision of this Agreement, no uncertainty or ambiguity shall be construed or resolved against any party under any rule of construction, including the party primarily responsible for the drafting and preparation of this Agreement. The words “herein,” “hereof,” “hereunder” and words of similar reference shall mean this Agreement. The words “this Agreement” include the exhibits, schedules, addenda and any future written modifications, unless otherwise indicated by the context. The words “will,” “shall” and “must” in this Agreement indicate a mandatory obligation. All dollar amounts set forth in this Agreement are stated in United States Dollars, unless otherwise specified. The words “day” and “days” refer to calendar days unless otherwise stated. The words “Business Day” refer to a day other than a Saturday, Sunday or Legal Holiday (hereinafter defined). The words “month” and “months” refer to calendar months unless otherwise stated. The words “year” and “years” refer to calendar years unless otherwise stated. If any date herein set forth for the performance of any obligations by Seller or Purchaser or for the delivery of any instrument or notice as herein provided should fall on a Saturday, Sunday or Legal Holiday, the compliance with such obligations or delivery will be deemed acceptable on the next Business Day following such Saturday, Sunday or Legal Holiday. As used herein, the term “Legal Holiday” will mean any local or federal holiday on which post offices are closed in the State of Maryland.

12.15 Bulk Transfers. The Sellers and Purchaser specifically waive compliance with the applicable provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code – Bulk Transfers, with any similar provision under any similar provisions in the laws of the state, county, and city in which any of the Properties is located, to the extent such provisions may be waived under the applicable Legal Requirement.

12.16 Covenants, Representations and Warranties. By proceeding with the closing of the sale transaction, the Sellers and Purchaser shall be deemed to have waived, and so covenant to waive, any claims of defaults or breaches by the other party existing on or as of the Closing Date whether under this Agreement or any other document or instrument executed by the other party in connection with this transaction, of which the waiving party was made aware by Notice from the defaulting or breaching party (and, if applicable, which is described on the Sellers certification of representations and warranties to be delivered at Closing) prior to the Closing Date for which the other party shall have no liability.

12.17 Press Releases; Confidentiality. Neither party may issue press releases or other public communications announcing the transaction contemplated by this Agreement without the consent of the other party. Purchaser acknowledges that the rules and regulations promulgated by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) may require Seller to disclose certain information concerning this Agreement and the transactions contemplated herein in documents to be filed with the SEC. The Sellers and their affiliates may make such filings with the SEC as are required in connection with the matters contemplated by this Agreement and such disclosures shall not constitute a breach or a violation of this Section 12.17 or any other confidentiality or non-disclosure agreement executed by the parties (or any of their respective affiliates. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such press release or other communication shall include any information (other than the identification of the parties) that is required to be kept confidential pursuant to the remaining provisions of this Section 12.17. Purchaser shall refrain, and shall use reasonable efforts to cause its agents and representatives to refrain, from disclosing in any manner whatsoever, (a) the information provided to Purchaser by any Seller or its representatives, or (b) any analyses, compilations, studies or other documents or records prepared by or on behalf of Purchaser, in connection with Purchaser’s investigation of any of the Properties, without first obtaining the written consent of the Sellers (collectively, “Proprietary Information”). The foregoing shall not preclude Purchaser (i) from discussing the Proprietary Information with any person who is employed by Purchaser or who, on behalf of Purchaser, is actively and directly participating in the purchase and sale of all of the Properties, including, without limitation, to Purchaser’s shareholders, partners, members, existing or prospective lenders, attorneys, accountants and other consultants and advisors, or (ii) from complying with all laws, rules, regulations and court orders, including, without limitation, governmental regulatory, disclosure, tax and reporting requirements; provided, however, that if Purchaser is required by applicable law or legal process to disclose any Proprietary Information, Purchaser agrees to furnish only that portion of the Proprietary Information which Purchaser is legally compelled to disclose and to use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain assurance that, if possible, confidential treatment will be accorded to the Proprietary Information. Purchaser shall inform its respective representatives of the confidential nature of the Proprietary Information and

shall direct them to be bound by the terms of this section. In addition to any other remedies available to the Sellers, the Sellers shall have the right to seek equitable relief, including, without limitation, injunctive relief or specific performance, against Purchaser in order to enforce the provisions of this section. The provisions of such confidentiality agreement shall survive any termination of this Agreement. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, Purchaser agrees not to contact, directly or indirectly, any personnel at any of the Properties prior to the Closing Date, and agrees to be liable for all of the Sellers’ damages in the event of any such contact by Purchaser or any of its agents or representatives.

12.18 No Third-Party Beneficiaries. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the Sellers and Purchaser agree that there are no third parties who are intended to benefit from or who are entitled to rely on any of the provisions of this Agreement. No third party shall be entitled to assert any claims or to enforce any rights whatsoever pursuant to this Agreement. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the covenants and agreements provided in this Agreement are solely for the benefit of the Sellers and Purchaser and their permitted successors and assigns respectively.

12.19 Facsimile and Email Signatures. The execution of this Agreement and all Notices given hereunder and all amendments hereto, may be effected by facsimile or email signatures, all of which shall be treated as originals; provided, however, that the party receiving a document with a facsimile or email signature may, by Notice to the other, require the prompt delivery of an original signature to evidence and confirm the delivery of the facsimile or email signature. Purchaser and the Sellers each intend to be bound by its respective facsimile or email transmitted signature, and is aware that the other party will rely thereon, and each party waives any defenses to the enforcement of the Agreement, and documents, and any Notices delivered by facsimile or email transmission.

12.20 Severability. If any term or provision of this Agreement or the application thereof to any person or circumstance shall, to any extent, be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement, or the application of such term or provision to persons or circumstances other than those as to which it is held invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby, and each such term and provision of this Agreement shall be valid and be enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law.

12.21 Cumulative Remedies. No remedy conferred upon a party in this Agreement is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy herein or by law provided or permitted, but each shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law, in equity or by statute (except as otherwise expressly herein provided).

12.22 Consents and Approvals. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, any approval or consent provided to be given by a party hereunder may be given or withheld in the absolute discretion of such party.

12.23 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. THE PARTIES HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVE THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER AGREEMENT EXECUTED IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT. THIS WAIVER SHALL APPLY TO ANY SUBSEQUENT AMENDMENTS, RENEWALS, SUPPLEMENTS OR MODIFICATIONS TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER AGREEMENT EXECUTED IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT. IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, THIS AGREEMENT MAY BE FILED AS A WRITTEN CONSENT TO A TRIAL BY THE COURT.

12.24 1031 Exchange. The Sellers and/or Purchaser (or a parent entity of a Seller or the Purchaser that is recognized as a separate entity for federal income tax purposes) may consummate the sale of all or a portion of the Properties as part of a so-called like kind exchange (the “Exchange”) pursuant to § 1031 of the Code, in accordance with the following provisions:

12.24.1. If the Sellers or Purchaser elects to effectuate an Exchange, and such Exchange cannot be effected for any reason, the Sellers and Purchaser shall be obligated to close the transaction as a purchase and sale pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

12.24.2. To exercise its right under this Section 12.24 to Exchange, rather than sell or purchase, as applicable, all or some of the Properties, the Sellers or Purchaser shall provide the other party with a written statement stating its intent to enter into an Exchange not later than ten (10) Business Days prior to the Closing Date.

12.24.3. If the Sellers or Purchaser exercises its right to Exchange, rather than sell or purchase, as applicable, all or some of the Properties, the Sellers may, on or before the Closing Date, assign its rights under this Agreement to a “qualified intermediary”, as defined in Treasury Regulation 1.1031(k)-1(g)(4) (the “Accommodator”) or an Exchange Accommodation Titleholder (“EAT”), or transfer such Properties to the Accommodator or the EAT, subject to all of Purchaser’s rights and remedies under this Agreement, including, without limitation, Purchaser’s right to acquire such Properties at the Closing or Purchaser may, on or before the Closing Date, assign its rights under this Agreement to an Accommodator or an EAT, or direct the Sellers to convey such Properties to an Accommodator or an EAT at Closing, subject to all of the Sellers’ rights and remedies under this Agreement; provided, however, that the Sellers or Purchaser shall notify the other party of the identity of the Accommodator or EAT within five (5) Business Days after designation of same, and further provided that the party designating an Accommodator or EAT (the “Designating Party”) shall remain liable for the performance of all obligations, representations, warranties and covenants of the Designating Party hereunder. In any case, all payments that Purchaser is obligated to make to the Sellers under this Agreement shall be made to the Accommodator or the EAT and not to Seller. Purchaser and the Sellers agree to cooperate with each other and the Accommodator or EAT in arranging the Exchange. The party which is not the Designating Party (the “Non-Designating Party”) shall execute any documents reasonably requested by the Designating Party and the Accommodator or EAT to facilitate the Exchange as a like-kind exchange under Section 1031 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations effective thereunder at the time of Closing hereunder, including, but not limited to, any appropriate amendments to this Agreement and any appropriate escrow instructions; provided, however, that no such document shall adversely affect the Non-Designating Party in any respect or change any of the economic terms and conditions of the transaction with respect to the Non-Designating Party or modify or limit the Non-Designating Party’s rights and remedies under this Agreement. The Non-Designating Party shall not be obligated to incur any costs, expenses, losses, liabilities or damages greater than those the Non-Designating Party would have incurred had the Designating Party not elected to effect an exchange. The Designating Party shall reimburse the Non-Designating Party on demand for all costs and expenses incurred by the Non-Designating Party in excess of those that would have been incurred if the Designating Party had not elected to effect an Exchange.

12.24.4. In no event shall the Non-Designating Party be obligated to acquire title to any other property, in connection with such Exchange. Purchaser’s sole obligation in connection with any Exchange shall be to acquire the Properties from Seller or its assignee in exchange for the Purchase Price in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The Designating Party agrees to defend, indemnify, and hold the Non-Designating Party free and harmless from all costs, expenses, losses, damages or liability, including but not limited to reasonable attorney’s fees and costs of suit, arising out of or in connection with any Exchange and the Non-Designating Party’s cooperation hereunder. Each party acknowledges that neither of them is making any representations, and neither of them is relying on any representations of the other party or the other party’s counsel, with respect to the federal, state or local income tax treatment of either of them in connection with this transaction, and neither party shall have any liability in connection with any tax treatment received by either of them in connection with this transaction, including, without limitation, any failure of this transaction to qualify as an exchange under Section 1031 of the Code.

12.25 No Recordation. Neither this Agreement nor any memorandum hereof may be recorded in any public records or in any other place of recording without first obtaining Seller’s consent thereto which may be withheld in Seller’s sole discretion and any such recording by Purchaser shall constitute a default by Purchaser under this Agreement.

12.26 Exclusivity. From and after the Effective Date, Seller and its respective agents, representatives and employees shall immediately cease all marketing of the Property until such time as this Agreement is terminated and Seller shall not directly or indirectly make, accept, negotiate, entertain or otherwise pursue any offers for the sale of the Properties.

12.27 Joint and Several Liability. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the liabilities and obligations of Seller shall be joint and several in all respects.

12.28 Disclosure Statement for Properties Located in Prince George’s County, Maryland. Seller certifies that Seller has no knowledge of any published preliminary or adopted land use plan (or adopted Zoning Map Amendment) which may result in condemnation or taking of any part of the Property located in Prince George’s County, Maryland. With respect to the Property located in Prince George’s County, Maryland, Purchaser acknowledges it is aware that information relative to (1) government plans for land use, roads, highways, parks, transportation, etc., and (2) rezoning is available for inspection at the County Administration Building, Upper Marlboro, Maryland, at www.PGAtlas.com, and http://www.pgplanning.org/Planning_Home. Purchaser further acknowledges, and is strongly encouraged to take advantage of its opportunity to examine the above referenced information and any other information pertaining to the Property located in Prince George’s County, Maryland that is relevant to Purchaser prior to signing or entering into this Agreement.

12.29 Guaranty.

12.29.1. By its execution below, First Potomac Realty Trust, a Real Estate Investment Trust, (the “Seller Guarantor”) hereby guarantees as primary obligor to the Purchaser the due and punctual payment and performance of the Seller’s obligations under Section 9.3 and promises to pay on demand each amount which the Seller is liable to pay under Section 9.3 (subject to the limitations set forth in this Agreement including the Cap Amount and Survival Date, when applicable).

12.29.2. The Seller Guarantor’s liability to the Purchaser shall not be impaired by (i) the failure of the Purchaser to exercise or to exhaust any right or remedy or take any action against any Person available to it, (ii) any amendment or modification to the terms of this Agreement, (iii) any failure or delay of the Purchaser to exercise, or any lack of diligence in exercising, any right or remedy with respect to this Agreement, (iv) the failure to give the Seller Guarantor notice of any breach and/or (v) any other circumstance which might constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense available to the Seller, whether similar or dissimilar to the foregoing, other than the defense of (a) payment and performance or (b) the claim against the Seller is not due and owing under the terms of this Agreement or that the Seller has performed (it being understood and agreed that Purchaser will only be required to litigate the existence of the same or similar defenses raised by both the Seller and the Seller Guarantor in one action or proceeding). The Seller Guarantor expressly waives the following: (i) any requirement of promptness, diligence, presentment, protest, notice of dishonor, notice of demand and notice of acceptance; (ii) the right to trial by jury in any action or proceeding of any kind arising on, under, out of, or by reason of or relating, in any way, to its obligations under this Section, or the interpretation, breach or enforcement of such obligations; and (iii) all rights of subrogation and any other claims that it may now or hereafter acquire against Seller until such time as the Seller Guarantor’s obligations under this Section are performed and paid in full.

12.29.3. The Seller Guarantor hereby represents, warrants and certifies to the Purchaser as follows: (i) the execution, delivery and performance under this Section by it will not violate any provision of any law, regulation, order or decree of any Governmental Authority, bureau or agency or of any court binding on the Seller Guarantor, or of any contract, undertaking or agreement to which it is a party or which is binding upon any of its property or assets, (ii) this Agreement, with respect to this Section, has been or will be prior to Closing, duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Seller Guarantor and constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Seller Guarantor, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, subject as to enforcement of remedies to any applicable bankruptcy, reorganization, moratorium or other Applicable Laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and doctrines of equity affecting the availability of specific enforcement as a remedy; and (iii) all necessary resolutions, consents, licenses, approvals and authorizations of any Person required in connection with the execution, delivery and performance of this Section have been duly obtained and are in full force and effect or will be prior to Closing.

12.30 Patriot Act. Seller and Purchaser represent and warrant that they are not acting, directly or indirectly, for or on behalf of any person, group, entity, or nation named by the United States Treasury Department as a Specially Designated National and Blocked Person, or for or on behalf of any person, group, entity, or nation designated in Presidential Executive Order 13224 as a person who commits, threatens to commit, or supports terrorism; and that they are not engaged in this transaction directly or indirectly on behalf of, or facilitating this transaction directly or indirectly on behalf of, any such person, group, entity, or nation.
