From and after such resignation and the delivery of the Deposit accrued thereon to such successor escrow agent, the Escrow Agent shall be fully relieved of all of its duties, responsibilities and obligations under this Agreement, all of which duties, responsibilities and obligations shall be performed by the appointed successor escrow agent. If for any reason the parties hereto shall not approve a successor escrow agent within such period, the Escrow Agent may bring an appropriate action or proceeding for leave to deposit the Deposit accrued thereon with a court of competent jurisdiction, pending the approval of a successor escrow agent, and upon such deposit the Escrow Agent shall be fully relieved of all of its duties, responsibilities and obligations under this Agreement.

If any of the Buyer Conditions Precedent is not satisfied (or waived in writing) pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and the failure of such conditions to be satisfied is not a result of a default by Seller or Buyer in the performance of their respective obligations under this Agreement, then Buyer shall have the one (1) time right to extend the Closing Date for such period of time as is reasonably necessary for the applicable condition to be satisfied, not to exceed thirty (30) days in the aggregate, by giving written notice to Seller (the “Buyer Condition Election”) on or prior to the Closing Date.

written notice thereof to Seller. In the event Buyer elects to terminate this Agreement for the reasons and in accordance with the provisions set forth in this Section, then this Agreement shall automatically terminate (except for those obligations and liabilities that expressly survive such termination) without any further acts of either Seller or Buyer. The obligation of Seller to transfer the Property as contemplated by this Agreement is subject to satisfaction of all of the conditions precedent for the benefit of Seller set forth in Section 4.2 herein or expressly provided elsewhere in this Agreement (collectively, the “Seller Conditions Precedent”), any of which may be waived prior to the Closing only in writing by Seller. If any of the Seller Conditions Precedent is not satisfied (or waived in writing) pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and the failure of such conditions to be satisfied is not a result of a default by Seller or Buyer in the performance of their respective obligations under this Agreement, then Seller shall have the one (1) time right to extend the Closing Date for such period of time as is reasonably necessary for the applicable condition to be satisfied, not to exceed thirty (30) days in the aggregate, by giving written notice to Buyer (the “Seller Condition Election”) on or prior to the Closing Date. If Seller does not timely make the Seller Condition Election, or if Seller makes the Seller Condition Election but such condition is not satisfied (or waived in writing by Seller) pursuant to the terms of this Agreement within such extended period, then Seller may terminate this Agreement by providing written notice thereof to Buyer. In the event Seller elects to terminate this Agreement for the reasons and in accordance with the provisions set forth in this Section, then this Agreement shall automatically terminate (except for those obligations and liabilities that expressly survive such termination) without any further acts of either Seller or Buyer.

Any Escrow cancellation, title cancellation and other cancellation charges shall be borne equally by Seller and Buyer, unless the termination is due to a Party’s default, in which case the defaulting Party shall pay such charges. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the consummation of the Closing shall constitute a waiver of all Buyer Conditions Precedent and Seller Conditions Precedent.

4.1    Conditions Precedent for Benefit of Buyer. The following shall be conditions precedent to Buyer’s obligation to purchase the Property:

4.1.1    Seller shall have performed and observed, in all material respects, all covenants and agreements of this Agreement to be performed or observed by Seller prior to or on the Closing Date including, without limitation, delivering to Buyer all of the documents required to be delivered by Seller under Section 5.1.1 hereof;

4.1.3    Each of the representations and warranties of Seller contained in this Agreement shall be true, correct and complete in all material respects as of the Closing Date, as though made on and as of the Closing Date (except for representations and warranties made as of a specified date, the accuracy of which shall be determined as of that specified date), excluding, however, any matter or change (except arising from a breach by Seller of a covenant set forth in this Agreement) that does not materially and adversely affect the Property in the aggregate or Seller’s ability to consummate the transactions contemplated herein or is (1) expressly permitted or contemplated by the terms of this Agreement or (2) actually known to Buyer prior to Closing. Without limitation of the foregoing, in the event that Seller’s closing certificate (a “Seller Closing Certificate”) in the form attached hereto as Exhibit “G” to be delivered by Seller at Closing discloses any changes in the representations and warranties of Seller under this Agreement that materially and adversely affect the Property in the aggregate or Seller’s ability to consummate the transactions contemplated herein and are not otherwise permitted or contemplated by the terms of this Agreement or actually known to Buyer prior to the Closing, then Buyer, as its sole and exclusive remedy, shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by written notice delivered to Seller prior to the Closing and, if Buyer provides such notice of termination, then this Agreement shall automatically terminate (except for those obligations and liabilities that expressly survive such termination) without any further acts of either Seller or Buyer in connection with any such termination; provided, further, that if Buyer does not elect to terminate this Agreement in accordance with this Section, then such representations and warranties of Seller shall be automatically modified to be subject to the matters which caused the representations and warranties not to be true in all material respects and Seller shall have no liability for the same. Furthermore, in the event Buyer does not elect to terminate this Agreement in accordance with this Section, Buyer hereby expressly waives, relinquishes and releases any right or remedy available to it at law, in equity, under this Agreement or otherwise to make a claim against Seller for damages that Buyer may incur, or to rescind this Agreement and the transaction contemplated by this Agreement, and Seller shall have no liability or responsibility for, and shall be under no obligation whatsoever to cure or remedy, any of the matters which caused the representations and warranties of Seller not to be true in all material respects. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, no change in circumstances or status of any tenants under Leases or any parties to Contracts (e.g., defaults, bankruptcies, below market status or other adverse matters relating to such tenants or contract parties or a party’s exercise following the Effective Date of any contractual termination rights not caused by the actions of Sellers in violation of the terms of this Agreement) occurring after the Effective Date shall in and of itself permit Buyer to terminate this Agreement or constitute grounds for Buyer’s failure to Close or otherwise constitute a Seller Default.

4.2    Conditions Precedent for Benefit of Seller. The following shall be conditions precedent to Seller’s obligation to sell the Property:

4.2.1    Buyer shall have performed and observed, in all material respects, all covenants and agreements of this Agreement to be performed or observed by Buyer prior to or on the Closing Date including, without limitation, delivering to Seller all of the documents required to be delivered by Buyer under Section 5.1.2 hereof;

4.2.2    Seller shall have received the Purchase Price in accordance with Section 3 and all other amounts due to Seller hereunder;

4.2.3    There shall be no order or injunction of any court or administrative agency of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Governmental Entity nor any statute, rule, regulation, or executive order promulgated by any Governmental Entity in effect as of the Closing which restrains or prohibits the transfer of the Property or the consummation of any other transaction contemplated hereby; provided that if any of the foregoing shall be in effect as a direct or indirect result of any Buyer acts or omissions taken or omitted by Buyer with the intention of preventing the Closing, the failure of Seller to close by reason of the foregoing shall constitute a default by Buyer hereunder, entitling Seller to all rights and remedies of Seller provided under Section 9.2; and

4.2.4    Each of the representations and warranties of Buyer set forth in this Agreement shall be true, correct and complete (without giving effect to any limitation as to materiality or material adverse effect set forth therein) as of the Closing Date, as though made on and as of the Closing Date (except for representations and warranties made as of a specified date, the accuracy of which shall be determined as of that specified date). Without limitation of the foregoing, in the event that Buyer’s closing certificate (a “Buyer Closing Certificate”) in the form attached hereto as Exhibit “H” to be delivered by Buyer at Closing discloses any changes in the representations and warranties of Buyer under this Agreement then Seller shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by written notice to Buyer and, if Seller provides such notice of termination, then this Agreement shall automatically terminate (except for those obligations and liabilities that expressly survive such termination) without any further acts of either Seller or Buyer in connection with any such termination.

4.3    Title Matters.

4.3.1    Title Report; Survey.

(a)    Buyer hereby acknowledges that Seller has delivered or made available to Buyer prior to the Effective Date: (i) a copy of Commitment for Title Insurance Number [ * ] (the “Preliminary Title Report”); and (ii) a copy of the following survey, which represents the most recent existing survey in Seller’s possession relating to the Property: [ * ] (the “Survey”). Any matter reflected on the Preliminary Title Report or the Survey is conclusively deemed to have been approved by Buyer. Buyer is solely responsible for obtaining any updated title commitments, surveys, or any other title-related matters Buyer desires with respect to the Property.

4.3.2    Title and Survey Objections.

(a)    Buyer shall have until the date that is the earlier of the Closing Date or five (5) days after receipt thereof (the “Title Exam Deadline”) to review any supplemental title report or update to the Preliminary Title Report and any update to the Survey. If Buyer objects to any items contained in any supplemental title report or update to the Preliminary Title Report or update to the Survey (that were not reflected in the Preliminary Title

Report or the Survey as of the Effective Date) (“Title Objections”), then Buyer (or Buyer’s counsel) shall notify Seller (or Seller’s counsel) of such Title Objections in writing (a “Title Disapproval Notice”) prior to the Title Exam Deadline. If Buyer does not notify Seller in writing of any such Title Objections within the time period set forth in this Section 4.3.2, then Buyer shall be deemed to have accepted the state of title to the Property reflected in the Preliminary Title Report, as modified by such supplemental title report or update to the Preliminary Title Report), and Survey, as modified by any such updates to the Survey, and to have waived any claims or defects which it might otherwise have raised with respect to the matters reflected therein and the same shall be deemed to be Permitted Exceptions for all purposes of this Agreement.

(b)    For the avoidance of doubt, Permitted Exceptions (as defined below) shall not constitute Title Objections.

(c)    If Buyer timely delivers a Title Disapproval Notice indicating a Title Objection, then, subject to Seller’s obligations under Section 4.3.4 hereof, Seller shall have until five (5) days after receipt of such Title Disapproval Notice to elect to notify Buyer in writing (a “Title Response Notice”) that Seller either (i) will remove such Title Objection from title to the Property on or before the Closing, subject to a reasonable adjournment of the Closing (not to exceed thirty (30) days) for the purpose of such removal (which adjournment can be extended for an additional fifteen (15) days so long as Seller is diligently pursuing such cure), or (ii) elects not to cause such Title Objection to be removed from title to the Property. If Seller fails to deliver a Title Response Notice as to a particular Title Objection within such five (5) day period, then Seller shall be deemed to have made the election described in clause (ii) above as to such Title Objection.

(d)    If Seller elects (or is deemed to have elected) not to cure any Title Objections specified in the Title Disapproval Notice, or if Seller is unable to effect a cure of such Title Objection prior to the Closing (or any date to which the Closing has been extended), Buyer shall have the following options: (i) to accept a conveyance of the Property subject to the Permitted Exceptions, specifically including any Title Objection by Buyer which Seller is unwilling or unable to cure, and without reduction of the Purchase Price; or (ii) to terminate this Agreement by sending written notice thereof to Seller, and upon delivery of such notice of termination, this Agreement shall terminate, and thereafter neither party hereto shall have any further rights, obligations or liabilities hereunder except to the extent that any right, obligation or liability set forth herein expressly survives termination of this Agreement. If Seller notifies Buyer that Seller does not intend to attempt to cure any Title Objection; or if, having commenced attempts to cure any Title Objection, Seller later notifies Buyer that Seller will be unable to effect a cure thereof; Buyer shall, within three (3) days after such notice has been given, notify Seller in writing whether Buyer shall elect to accept the conveyance under clause (i) or to terminate this Agreement under clause (ii). Buyer’s failure to respond within said three (3) day period shall be deemed to be Buyer’s election to accept the conveyance under clause (i) above.

4.3.3    Reserved.

4.3.4    Seller’s Liens. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of Section 4.3, Seller shall be obligated to take (and hereby covenants to take), with respect to the Property such actions as may be reasonably required by the Title Company so that the Title Company is willing to issue the Owner’s Policy to Buyer without exception for (i) the Existing Mortgage, (ii) any Liens securing any other mortgage or deed of trust financing voluntarily obtained by Seller after the Effective Date and prior to the Closing, (iii) any mechanics’ liens or materialmen’s liens arising from any work or improvements at the Property ordered or authorized by Seller that encumber the Property on the Closing Date (other than Permitted Mechanics’ Liens), and (iv) any tax or judgment liens (the items described in the preceding subclauses (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv), collectively, “Monetary Encumbrances”). In lieu of eliminating any Monetary Encumbrances, Seller shall have the right to effectuate a cure by having the Title Company insure or bond over such Monetary Encumbrances. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth elsewhere in this Agreement, Seller shall not be required to cure any Title Objection other than as expressly set forth in this Section 4.3.4.

4.3.5    Permitted Exceptions to Title. Buyer’s obligation to purchase the Property is subject to the condition precedent that, at the Closing, Title Company shall have irrevocably committed to issue the Owner’s Policy upon the Closing subject only to Permitted Exceptions and satisfaction by Buyer of the conditions to be satisfied by the proposed insured under the Owner’s Policy, including the payment of all premiums. At the Closing, Seller shall convey and Buyer shall be obligated to accept fee simple title to the Property, subject only to the following exceptions to title (the “Permitted Exceptions”):

(a)    Real estate taxes and assessments not yet due and payable, if any, provided that such items are apportioned as provided in this Agreement;

(e)    All laws, regulations, resolutions, or ordinances, including, without limitation, building, zoning, and environmental protection, as to the use, occupancy, subdivision, development, conversion, or redevelopment of the Property currently or hereafter imposed by any Governmental Entity;

(f)    Any matters about which Buyer knows or is deemed to know prior to the Effective Date;

(g)    Mechanics’ or materialmens’ liens or claims or notices of commencement arising from (i) Buyer’s due diligence reviews or inspections hereunder or (ii) any other work ordered or performed by or on behalf of Buyer or any tenant or any of their respective affiliates (“Permitted Mechanics Liens”);

(h)    Such exceptions to title or survey, whether set forth in the Preliminary Report (or any supplemental report or update to the Preliminary Report) or the Survey (or any update to the Survey) as may be approved or deemed approved by Buyer pursuant to the above provisions of this Section 4.3, or as otherwise expressly permitted under this Agreement;

(i)    Any exceptions to which Buyer consents in advance in writing;

(j)    Any exceptions resulting from the acts of Buyer or its consultants, employees, agents, or representatives;

(k)    (i) The matters set forth on the Survey and any update thereto (or any matters shown on any survey included within the Due Diligence Materials) that are not objected to by Buyer or deemed waived pursuant to Section 4.3.2 and (ii) any matter that would be disclosed by a current, accurate ALTA/NSPS survey of the Land and Improvements provided that any such matter does not have a material adverse effect on the use or operation of the Land or Improvements;

(l)    Any matters deemed to constitute additional Permitted Exceptions under Section 4.3.2; and

(m)    Non-monetary encumbrances, such as easements or rights of way, that do not have any material adverse effect, other than to a de minimis extent, on the value of the Property or Buyer’s use or operation of the Property or impose any material increased obligation or liability on Buyer.

Conclusive evidence of the availability of such Owner’s Policy shall be the irrevocable commitment of Title Company to issue to Buyer on the Closing Date a standard form Owner’s Policy of Title Insurance issued by Title Company in the State of Washington (the “Owner’s Policy”), in the face amount of the Purchase Price, which policy shall show (i) title to the Land and Improvements to be vested of record in Buyer, and (ii) the Permitted Exceptions and the exclusions listed in the “Schedule of Exclusions from Coverage” of the Owner’s Policy to be the only exceptions to title, subject to the satisfaction by Buyer of the conditions to be satisfied by the proposed insured under the Owner’s Policy, including the payment of all premiums. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event that Buyer elects to upgrade the Owner’s Policy to an ALTA Extended Coverage Owner’s Policy of Title Insurance, the availability or issuance of such upgrade to an ALTA Extended Coverage Owner’s Policy of Title Insurance shall not be a condition precedent to Buyer’s obligation to purchase the Property. In connection with obtaining any desired coverage over survey matters under the Owner’s Policy, Buyer shall deliver to Title Company prior to the Closing Date a current ALTA survey certified by a licensed surveyor in the State of Washington sufficient to permit or cause Title Company to insure against survey matters at the Closing. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Agreement or any of the Closing Documents, at Seller’s sole election any or all of the Permitted

4.3.6    Endorsements to Owner’s Policy. It is understood that Buyer may request a number of endorsements to the Owner’s Policy. The issuance of such endorsements shall not be a condition to Closing. Seller shall not be obligated to incur any expense or undertake any potential liability in connection with the issuance of any such endorsements.

4.3.7    Payment from Balance of the Purchase Price. Any unpaid taxes, water charges, sewer rents and assessments, together with the interest and penalties thereon to a date not more than five (5) business days following the Closing Date (in each case subject to any applicable apportionment), and any Monetary Encumbrances, together with the cost of recording or filing any instruments necessary to discharge such Monetary Encumbrances, may be paid out of the proceeds of the balance of the Purchase Price payable at the Closing.

5.2.2    Buyer and Seller hereby agree that all of the Purchase Price shall be allocated to the Land and that no portion of the Purchase Price shall be allocated to the Personal Property. The provisions of this Section 5.2.2 shall survive the Closing.

5.3    Prorations. All matters involving prorations, credits or adjustments to be made in connection with the Closing and not specifically provided for in another section of this Agreement shall be adjusted in accordance with this Section 5.3.

5.3.1    Items to be Prorated. Except as otherwise set forth herein, all items to be prorated pursuant to this Section 5.3 shall be prorated as of 11:59 P.M. on the day immediately preceding the Closing Date on the basis of the Proration Statement. Not later than five (5) days prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall deliver to Buyer a proposed “Proration Statement”.

The following items shall be prorated between Seller and Buyer as of the Closing Date (on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over the applicable period), with Buyer being deemed to be the owner of the Property during the entire day on the Closing Date and being entitled to receive all operating income of the Property, and being obligated to pay all operating expenses of the Property, with respect to the Closing Date:

(a)    Real Estate and Property Taxes. All non-delinquent real estate and personal property taxes and assessments on the Property for the current tax year that are due and

 

25

payable following the Closing Date. Seller shall be responsible for the payment of any real estate and personal property taxes and assessments that are delinquent before Closing with respect to the Property. Taxes relating to the period prior to the Closing Date that are not due and payable until after the Closing Date shall be prorated as of the Closing Date based on the latest available tax bill. In no event shall Seller be charged with or be responsible for any increase in the taxes on the Property resulting from the sale of the Property contemplated by this Agreement, any change in use of the Property on or after the Closing Date, or from any improvements made or leases entered into on or after the Closing Date. If any assessments on the Property are payable in installments, then the installment allocable to the current period shall be prorated (with Buyer being allocated the obligation to pay any installments due on or after the Closing Date).

(b)    Rent and Security Deposits. All fixed and additional rentals under the Leases, security deposits (except as hereinafter provided), and other tenant charges. Seller shall deliver or provide a credit in an amount equal to all prepaid rentals for periods after the Closing Date and all refundable cash security deposits (to the extent the foregoing were made by tenants under the Leases and are not applied or forfeited prior to the Closing) to Buyer on the Closing Date. A list of the unapplied tenant security deposits under the Leases as of the Effective Date is set forth on Schedule 5.3.1(b). To the extent that there are any rents or other tenant charges with respect to Leases that are delinquent (or payable but unpaid) as of the Closing Date (collectively, “Delinquent Rent”), Buyer shall credit Seller for the amount of such Delinquent Rent at Closing provided, however, that any year-end or similar reconciliation payment shall be allocated as hereinafter provided. At Closing, Seller shall deliver to Buyer a schedule of all such delinquent or payable but unpaid rent and other tenant charges. Buyer shall be entitled to retain any payments of Delinquent Rent made after the Closing Date. To the extent Seller receives any payment of Delinquent Rent after the Closing Date, Seller shall promptly deliver the same to Buyer.

(c)    Payments required to be paid by tenants under Leases for such tenants’ shares of property taxes and assessments, insurance, common area maintenance, and other expenses of the Property are collectively referred to herein as “Reimbursable Tenant Expenses”. Reimbursable Tenant Expenses shall be determined in accordance with the Leases, including without limitation any Lease provisions that provide for the adjustment of Reimbursable Tenant Expenses based on occupancy changes (i.e., “gross-up” provisions). In addition, to the extent that a Lease provides for base year amounts for operating expenses or taxes, such base year amounts shall be prorated in determining Reimbursable Tenant Expenses with respect to such Lease. Seller’s “share” of Reimbursable Tenant Expenses for the calendar year in which Closing occurs (the “Closing Year”) shall be determined in accordance with Section 5.3.2(a) hereof. To the extent that there are any Reimbursable Tenant Expenses that are delinquent (or payable but unpaid) as of the Closing Date (collectively, “Delinquent Reimbursable Tenant Expenses”), Buyer shall credit Seller for the amount of such Delinquent Reimbursable Tenant Expenses at Closing provided, however, that any year-end or similar reconciliation payment shall be allocated as hereinafter provided.

(d)    Utilities and Services. Buyer and Seller hereby acknowledge and agree that the amounts of all telephone, electric, sewer, water, gas, steam and other utility bills, trash removal bills, janitorial and maintenance service bills, association dues and all other operating and administrative expenses relating to the Property and allocable to the period prior to the Closing Date (other than such items which are the obligation of and directly paid by a tenant under its Lease) shall be determined and paid by Seller before Closing, if possible, or shall be paid thereafter by Seller or adjusted between Buyer and Seller immediately after the same have been determined. Buyer (with cooperation of Seller) shall cause all utilities at the Property to be placed in Buyer’s name as of the Closing Date, and where necessary, post deposits with the utility companies. Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause all utility meters to be read as of the Closing Date. Seller shall be entitled to recover any and all deposits held by any utility company as of the Closing Date.

(e)    Leasing Costs. Seller shall provide a credit to Buyer at Closing for the amount of any Seller Leasing Costs. If the Closing occurs, then from and after the Closing, Buyer shall be responsible for the payment of all Seller Leasing Costs and all other Leasing Costs. On or prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall provide Buyer with a list of any Seller Leasing Costs (as such list may be updated by Seller prior to Closing).

(f)    Contracts. Charges and payments under Contracts assumed by the Buyer at Closing, or permitted renewals or replacements thereof.

(g)    Any other items of operating income or operating expense that are customarily apportioned between the parties in real estate closings of comparable commercial properties in the metropolitan area where the Property is located, as may be applicable; however, there will be no prorations for debt service or insurance premiums (because Buyer is not acquiring or assuming Seller’s financing or insurance).

5.3.2    Proration of Reimbursable Tenant Expenses.

(a)    For the Closing Year. In order to enable Buyer to make any year-end reconciliations of tenant reimbursements of Reimbursable Tenant Expenses for the Closing Year after the end thereof, Seller shall determine in accordance with Section 5.3.1(c) hereof the Reimbursable Tenant Expenses actually paid or incurred by Seller for the portion of the Closing Year during which Seller owned the Property (“Sellers Actual Reimbursable Tenant Expenses”) and the tenant reimbursements for such Reimbursable Tenant Expenses actually paid to Seller by tenants for the portion of the Closing Year during which Seller owned the Property (“Sellers Actual Tenant Reimbursements”). On or before the date that is thirty (30) days after the Closing Date, Seller shall deliver to Buyer a reconciliation statement (each a “Sellers Reconciliation Statement”) setting forth (i) Seller’s Actual Reimbursable Tenant Expenses, (ii) Seller’s Actual Tenant Reimbursements, and (iii) a calculation of the difference, if any, between the two (i.e., establishing that Seller’s Actual Reimbursable Tenant Expenses were either more or less than or equal to Seller’s Actual Tenant Reimbursements). Any amount due to Seller pursuant to the foregoing calculation (in the event Seller’s Actual Tenant Reimbursements are less than Seller’s Actual Reimbursable Tenant Expenses) or due to Buyer (in the event Seller’s Actual Tenant Reimbursements are more than Seller’s Actual Reimbursable Tenant

Expenses), as the case may be, shall be paid by Buyer to Seller or by Seller to Buyer, as the case may be, within thirty (30) days after delivery of Seller’s Reconciliation Statement to Buyer. If Buyer is paid any such amount by Seller, Buyer thereafter shall be obligated to promptly remit the applicable portion to the particular tenants entitled thereto. Buyer shall compensate, indemnify, defend, and hold Seller and the other “Seller-Related Parties” (as defined below) harmless from and against any losses, costs, claims, damages, and liabilities, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred in connection therewith, arising out of or resulting from Buyer’s failure to remit any amounts actually received from Seller to tenants in accordance with the provisions hereof. If Buyer has transferred its interest in the Property to a successor-in-interest or assignee prior to such date, then, on or before the transfer of its interest in the Property, Buyer shall (i) in writing expressly obligate such successor-in-interest or assignee to be bound directly to Seller by the provisions of this Section, and (ii) deliver written notice of such transfer to Seller, and thereafter Seller shall make the deliveries specified above to Buyer’s successor-in-interest or assignee. Seller’s Reconciliation Statement shall be final and binding for purposes of this Agreement.

(b)    Intentionally Blank.

(c)    Intentionally Blank.

5.3.3    General Provisions.

(a)    For purposes of calculating prorations, Buyer shall be deemed to be the owner of the Property, and therefore entitled to the income therefrom and responsible for the expenses thereof for the entire day upon which the Closing occurs, and thereafter all such prorations shall be made on the basis of the actual number of days of the month which shall have elapsed as of the day of the Closing and based upon the actual number of days in the month and a three hundred sixty five (365) day year.

(b)    Seller and Buyer agree to use reasonable efforts to calculate all adjustments required under this Section 5.3 (and to make the adjustment payments resulting from such calculations) with respect to those items of income and expense which are ascertainable on the Closing Date by no later than twenty (20) days after the Closing Date. Each other item of income and expense which is subject to adjustment under this Section 5.3 but which is not ascertainable on the Closing Date will be adjusted retroactive to the Closing Date, and the payment made on such adjustment within sixty (60) days after the date that such adjustment becomes ascertainable, i.e., the date by which each party, in its good faith business judgment, has sufficient information to make such adjustment.

(c)    If any prorations or apportionments made under this Section 5.3 shall prove to be incorrect for any reason, then any party shall be entitled to an adjustment to correct the same. Any item that cannot be finally prorated because of the unavailability of information shall be tentatively prorated on the basis of the best data then available and re-prorated when the information is available. The parties agree that each party shall have the right following Closing, on reasonable written notice to the other, from time to time to review the books and records of such other party pertaining solely to the operations of the Property and

limited to such portions of the books and records necessary to confirm the amounts of adjustments payable to Seller and/or Buyer following the Closing. Buyer and Seller shall cooperate as necessary following the Closing in order to promptly and in good faith discharge their respective obligations under this Section 5.3.

(d)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, all re-prorations contemplated by this Agreement shall be completed within six (6) months after Closing (subject to extension as necessary due to the unavailability of final information, but in no event to exceed one (1) year after Closing). Notwithstanding the foregoing, any claim for an adjustment under Section 5.3 will be valid if made in writing with reasonable specificity within one (1) year after the Closing Date, except in the case of items of adjustment which at the expiration of such period are subject to pending litigation or administrative proceedings. Claims with respect to items of adjustment which are subject to litigation or administrative proceedings will be valid if made on or before the later to occur of (i) the date that is one (1) year after the Closing Date and (ii) the date that is one hundred eighty (180) days after a final order shall have issued in such litigation or administrative hearing. The parties hereto shall use good faith efforts to resolve any disputed claims promptly.

(e)    The obligations of Seller and Buyer under this Section 5.3 shall survive the Closing.

6.    Condemnation or Destruction of Property. If, after the Effective Date but prior to the Closing Date, either any portion of the Property is taken pursuant to eminent domain proceedings or any of the Improvements are damaged or destroyed by any casualty not arising from or relating to an action or inaction of Buyer or any of Buyer’s subsidiaries or their respective agents, Seller shall be required to give Buyer prompt written notice of the same after Seller’s actual discovery of the same, but shall have no obligation to cause any direct or indirect member, partner, or owner of Seller to contribute capital to Seller or any other entity, or to repair or replace (or cause to be repaired or replaced) any such damage, destruction, or taken property. Seller shall, upon consummation of the transaction herein provided, assign to Buyer (except to the extent any condemnation proceeds or insurance proceeds are attributable to lost rents or other items applicable to any period prior to the Closing) all claims of Seller respecting any condemnation or casualty insurance coverage, as applicable, and all condemnation proceeds or proceeds from any such casualty insurance received by Seller on account of any casualty at the Property (except to the extent required for collection costs or repairs by Seller prior to the Closing Date), as applicable. In the event (A) the condemnation award or the estimated cost of repair of damage to the Property on account of a casualty, as applicable, shall exceed [ * ] percent ([ * ]%) of the Purchase Price or (B) with respect to a condemnation to the Property only, such condemnation would result in the Property (following restoration) materially violating any Laws or failing to materially comply with zoning or any recorded covenants, conditions, or restrictions affecting the Property, then, Buyer may, at its option, terminate this Agreement by notice to Seller, given within fifteen (15) days after Seller’s notice to Buyer of the occurrence of such casualty or condemnation, whereupon Buyer shall receive a return of the Deposit (less the Independent Consideration, which shall be paid to Seller) (and no party hereto shall have any further obligation in connection herewith except under those provisions that expressly survive a termination of this Agreement).

(b)    Buyer shall provide Seller any other information that Seller may reasonably request with respect to the proposed assignee;

(c)    Buyer and the proposed assignee shall execute an assignment and assumption of this Agreement pursuant to which Buyer’s obligations hereunder are expressly assumed by such assignee; and

10.8.3    Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary:

(a)    Any permitted assignment by Buyer shall not relieve Buyer of any of its obligations and liabilities hereunder including obligations and liabilities which survive Closing or the termination of this Agreement, nor shall any such assignment alter, impair or relieve such assignee from the waivers, acknowledgements and agreements of Buyer set forth herein, all of which will be binding upon any assignee of Buyer;

(b)    No transfer by Buyer of any interest in this Agreement and no transfers of direct or indirect interests in Buyer shall be permitted if the same would cause the representations and warranties made in Sections 7.2.1, 7.2.2 or 10.16 to be untrue, inaccurate or incomplete; provided, however, that, the first sentence of Section 7.2.1 may be updated to reflect the entity type and state of formation or incorporation of an assignee, as needed, and Buyer covenants to cooperate with Seller’s requests to provide documentation reasonably necessary or desirable for Seller to verify that such representations and warranties are true, accurate and complete at all times prior to Closing. If Buyer fails to provide the requested documentation to Seller at least five (5) business days prior to the Closing Date, then Seller shall have the right, at its election, to postpone the Closing Date for a period not to exceed thirty (30) days; and

(c)    Under no circumstances shall Buyer have the right to assign this Agreement to any person or entity owned or controlled by an employee benefit plan if Seller’s sale of the Property to such person or entity would, in the reasonable opinion of Seller’s ERISA advisors or consultants, create or otherwise cause a “prohibited transaction” under ERISA. In the event Buyer assigns this Agreement or transfers any ownership interest in Buyer, and such assignment or transfer would make the consummation of the transaction hereunder a “prohibited transaction” under ERISA and necessitate the termination of this Agreement then, notwithstanding any contrary provision which may be contained herein, Seller shall have the right to terminate this Agreement.

(d)    Any purported assignment by Buyer that does not comply with the provisions of this Section 10.8 shall be null and void ab initio.

10.9    Notices. All notices, demands, and communications permitted or required to be given hereunder shall be in writing, and shall be delivered (a) personally; (b) by United States registered or certified mail, postage prepaid; (c) by FedEx or other reputable courier service regularly providing evidence of delivery (with charges paid by the party sending the notice); or (d) by a PDF or similar attachment to an e-mail, provided that such e-mail attachment shall be followed within one (1) business day by delivery of such notice pursuant to clause (a), (b), or (c) above. (Notwithstanding clause (d), e-mail notice is sufficient in and of itself, and need not be followed by delivery of notice pursuant to clause (a), (b), or (c) above, as long as both (i) the notice is not a notice of default or a notice of termination of the Agreement, and (ii) receipt of such e-mail is affirmatively acknowledged by all parties to whom such e-mail is required to be addressed (including those to be copied).) Any such notice to a party shall be addressed at the address set forth below (subject to the right of a party to designate a different address for itself by notice similarly given):

10.10    Third Parties. Except as provided in Section 8.2, nothing in this Agreement, whether expressed or implied, is intended to confer any rights or remedies under or by reason of this Agreement on any person other than the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns, and nothing in this Agreement is intended to relieve or discharge the obligation or liability of any third persons to any party to this Agreement, and no provision shall give any third parties any right of subrogation or action over or against any party to this Agreement.

10.11    Legal Costs. Except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement, each party shall pay its own costs and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and such party’s performance under this Agreement, provided that, if either party commences an action, proceeding, demand, claim, action, cause of action or suit against the other party arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, then the substantially prevailing party shall be reimbursed by the other party for all reasonable costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, incurred by the substantially prevailing party in such action, proceeding, demand, claim, action, cause of action or suit, and in any appeal in connection therewith (regardless of whether the applicable action, proceeding, demand, claim, action, cause of action, suit or appeal is voluntarily withdrawn or dismissed). The foregoing includes attorneys’ fees, expenses and costs of investigation (including those incurred in appellate proceedings), costs incurred in establishing the right to indemnification, or in any action or participation in, or in connection with, any case or proceeding under Chapter 7, 11, or 13 of the Bankruptcy Code (11 United States Code Sections 101 et seq.), or any successor statutes.

10.14    Severability.

10.15    Press Releases. Prior to Closing, neither party, nor any of its respective affiliates, successors or assigns, shall make any public announcements regarding the existence of this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement and/or the transactions contemplated herein without the prior written approval of the other party, which approval may be granted or withheld in such

other party’s sole and absolute discretion, except that Seller may disclose the existence of this Agreement and its terms to its investors as Seller deems necessary or desirable in its sole discretion or otherwise as required by law.    

10.16    Anti-Terrorism Law. Each party is in material compliance with the terms of the USA Patriot Act of 2001, as amended, any regulations promulgated under the foregoing law, Executive Order No. 13224 on Terrorist Financing, any sanctions program administrated by the U.S. Department of Treasury’s Office of Foreign Asset Control or Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (collectively, the “Anti-Money Laundering and Anti-Terrorism Laws”), and any other Laws, regulations or executive orders designed to combat terrorism or money laundering, if applicable, to this Agreement. Each party represents and warrants to the other party that it is not an entity named on the List of Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons maintained by the U.S. Department of Treasury, as last updated prior to the date of this Agreement. The monies used to fund Buyer’s investment in the Property are not (i) derived from, invested for the benefit of or related in any way to the governments of, or persons within, any country under a United States embargo enforced by the Office of Foreign Assets Control of the United States Department of the Treasury, or (ii) derived from any illegal or illicit activity.

10.17    Tax Appeal Proceedings.

10.17.1    Prosecution and Settlement of Proceedings.

(a)    If any tax reduction proceedings in respect of the Property, relating to any tax years ending prior to the year in which the Closing occurs, are pending at the time of the Closing, Seller reserves and shall have the right to continue to prosecute and/or settle the same at no cost or expense to Buyer and without Buyer’s consent; provided, that, Seller shall not be permitted to settle or compromise any such proceedings if such settlement or compromise would have an adverse impact on the taxes for the fiscal year in which the Closing occurs or any subsequent tax period.

(b)    If any tax reduction proceedings in respect of the Property, relating to the tax year in which the Closing occurs, are pending at the time of Closing, then Seller reserves and shall have the right to continue to prosecute and settle the same; provided, however, that Seller shall not settle any such proceeding without Buyer’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Buyer shall reasonably cooperate with Seller in connection with the prosecution of any such tax reduction proceedings.

10.17.2    Application of Refunds or Savings. Any refunds or savings in the payment of taxes resulting from such tax reduction proceedings that are applicable to taxes allocable to the period prior to the date of the Closing shall belong to and be the property of Seller, and any refunds or savings in the payment of taxes that are applicable to taxes allocable to the period from and after the date of the Closing shall belong to and be the property of Buyer; provided, however, that if any such refund creates an obligation to reimburse any tenants under any Lease for any rents or additional rents paid or to be paid, that portion of such refund equal to the amount of such required reimbursement (after deduction of allocable expenses as may be

provided in such Lease to such tenant) shall, at Seller’s election, either (a) be paid to Buyer and Buyer shall disburse the same to such tenants or (b) be paid by Seller directly to the tenants entitled thereto. All reasonable attorneys’ fees and other expenses incurred in obtaining such refunds or savings shall be apportioned between Seller and Buyer in proportion to the gross amount of such refunds or savings payable to Seller and Buyer, respectively (without regard to any amounts reimbursable to tenants); provided, however, that neither Seller nor Buyer shall have any liability for any such fees or expenses in excess of the refund or savings paid to such party unless such party initiated such proceeding.

10.18    Acceptance of Deed. Consummation of the Closing shall be deemed full compliance by Seller of all of Seller’s obligations under this Agreement except for those obligations of Seller that are specifically stated to survive the Closing hereunder.

10.19    Effectiveness. In no event shall any draft of this Agreement create any obligation or liability, it being understood that this Agreement shall be effective and binding only when a counterpart hereof has been executed and delivered by each party hereto.

10.20    Relationship of the Parties. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed so as to make Buyer a partner of the Seller and nothing in this Agreement shall be construed so as to make Buyer an owner of the Property for any purpose until the Closing Date.

10.21    Confidentiality. Buyer shall treat the terms of the transaction contemplated in this Agreement, including, without limitation, the Purchase Price, all other financial terms and all Due Diligence Materials (collectively, the “Confidential Information”) as confidential and proprietary information of Seller. Buyer shall hold the Confidential Information in confidence and shall not disclose such information or materials to any third-parties other than Title Company, Escrow Agent and Buyer’s attorneys, employees, consultants, accountants, investors and lenders on a “need to know” basis and subject to the same confidentiality obligations set forth in this paragraph. Buyer shall cause Buyer’s Representatives to treat any information obtained pursuant to this Agreement, including, without limitation, the Confidential Information, as confidential and subject to the same confidentiality obligations set forth in this paragraph. Buyer shall be liable to Seller for any breach by any Buyer’s Representatives of the confidentiality restrictions set forth herein. The covenants of Buyer set forth in this Section shall not apply to any Confidential Information that (i) is, or subsequently becomes, part of the public domain other than as a result of a breach of this Agreement by Buyer and/or (ii) was communicated to Buyer from other sources at the time of disclosure by Seller to Buyer and such prior knowledge can be reasonably demonstrated by Buyer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer shall not be deemed to have violated the provisions of this Section 10.21 if Buyer is required to disclose any Confidential Information pursuant to a judicial order validly issued and served upon Buyer by a court with competent jurisdiction over the Property and the Confidential Information that is the subject of such order, provided that Buyer (i) promptly, and in no event less than five (5) business days after receipt of such court order, delivers a copy of the same, together with any notices or other documents served on Buyer with such court order, to Seller, and (ii) cooperates in any effort (provided that Buyer is not thereby placed in breach of such court order) instituted by Seller to prevent such disclosure. Notwithstanding any such legally required disclosure by Buyer, such required disclosure will not otherwise affect Buyer’s

obligations hereunder with respect to Confidential Information so disclosed. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that all of the Confidential Information, and any copies thereof made by Buyer or any other person or party to whom the Confidential Information is made available by Buyer, is and shall continue to be the property of Seller.

10.22    Counterparts; Delivery. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which shall constitute one and the same document. The delivery of an executed counterpart of this Agreement by facsimile or as a PDF or similar attachment to an e-mail shall constitute effective delivery of such counterpart for all purposes with the same force and effect as the delivery of an original, executed counterpart. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon written request by either party the other party promptly shall deliver an original, executed counterpart of this Agreement to the requesting party.

10.23    Jurisdiction. Buyer and Seller each irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of (a) the Supreme Court of the State of Washington and (b) the United States District Court for the Western District of Washington for the purposes of any suit, action, or other proceeding arising out of this Agreement or any transaction contemplated hereby. Buyer and Seller each further agree that service of any process, summons, notice, or document by U.S. certified mail to such party’s respective address set forth above shall be effective service of process for any action, suit, or proceeding in Washington with respect to any matters to which it has submitted to jurisdiction as set forth above in the immediately preceding sentence. BUYER AND SELLER EACH IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES TRIAL BY JURY AND IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY ACTION, SUIT, OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY IN (X) THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF WASHINGTON AND (Y) THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE WESTERN DISTRICT OF WASHINGTON, AND HEREBY FURTHER IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES AND AGREES NOT TO PLEAD OR CLAIM IN ANY SUCH COURT THAT ANY SUCH ACTION, SUIT, OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN ANY SUCH COURT HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM.

10.24    Commercial Disclosure. Buyer and Seller agree and acknowledge that the Property constitutes “Commercial Real Estate” as defined in RCW 64.06.005. Buyer hereby waives receipt of a seller disclosure statement required under RCW 64.06 for transactions involving the sale of commercial real estate, except Seller has provided to Buyer a disclosure statement limited to the “Environmental” section only in the form attached hereto as Exhibit “B” (the “Environmental Section”). By execution of this Agreement, Seller shall be deemed to have executed such disclosure statement and delivered the same to Buyer, and Buyer acknowledges that it has executed and received such disclosure statement, and further, assumes the risk of any and all matters disclosed in the Environmental Section or in any way related thereto. Buyer waives its right to rescind this Agreement under RCW 64.06.030. Buyer further acknowledges and agrees that the Environmental Section (i) is for the purpose of disclosure only, (ii) will not be considered part of this Agreement, and (iii) will not be construed as a representation or warranty of any kind by Seller.
