The Purchase Price shall be allocated between the Property in accordance with the schedule attached hereto as Exhibit O and made a part hereof. The Purchase Price shall be paid as follows:

Section 2.2 Applicable Terms; Failure to Make Deposit. Except as expressly otherwise set forth herein, the Deposit shall be applied against the Purchase Price at the Closing and shall otherwise be held and delivered by Escrow Agent in accordance with the provisions of Exhibit C. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, if Buyer fails to timely make the Deposit as provided herein, this Agreement shall automatically terminate and be of no further force or effect except for those provisions which expressly survive the termination of this Agreement.
Section 2.3 Cash at Closing. On the Scheduled Closing Date, Buyer shall (a) deposit into escrow with the Escrow Agent an amount equal to the balance of the Purchase Price in immediately available funds as more particularly set forth in Section 6.1, as prorated and adjusted as set forth in Article V, Section 6.1, or as otherwise provided under this Agreement, and (b) authorize and direct the Escrow Agent to simultaneously pay the Deposit into such escrow.

ARTICLE III - TITLE MATTERS
Section 3.1 Title Defects.
(a) Seller has delivered to Buyer (x) Seller’s Title Policy and (y) the Existing Survey. Buyer shall obtain the Title Commitment and copies of all of the Title Documents, if available, and promptly provide a copy of such Title Commitment to Seller. During the Due Diligence Period, Buyer may also obtain an update of the
10
Existing Survey (the “Survey”). Prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, Buyer shall have the right to object in writing to any title matters that appear on the Title Commitment, the Survey, and any updates thereto (whether or not such matters constitute Permitted Exceptions). After the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, Buyer shall have the right to object in writing to any title matters that are not Permitted Exceptions and that (i) first appear on any update to the Title Commitment or Survey issued after the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, and (ii) are not the result of any act or omission by any Buyer’s Representative. Any such objection must be made by Buyer within three (3) Business Days after such updated Title Commitment or Survey is received by Buyer (but, in any event, prior to the Scheduled Closing Date) in order to be effective. Unless Buyer is entitled to and timely objects to such title matters, all such title matters shall be deemed to constitute additional Permitted Exceptions.
(b) If this Agreement is not terminated by Buyer in accordance with the provisions hereof, Seller shall, prior to or concurrently with the Closing, Remove all Required Removal Exceptions at Seller’s sole cost and expense. If Seller is unable to Remove any Required Removal Exceptions, Buyer shall at Closing elect as its sole and exclusive remedy to either (i) exercise Buyer’s rights under Section 9.2, or (ii) accept such exceptions to title and the Closing shall occur as herein provided without any reduction of or credit against the Purchase Price. Seller may use any portion of the Purchase Price to Remove or cause to be Removed any Required Removal Exception. Regardless of whether Buyer expressly objects to any Required Removal Exceptions in writing as set forth in this Section 3.1.
(c) With respect to any title objections that are not Required Removal Exceptions, Seller may elect to Remove or to cause to be Removed any such exceptions to title and Seller may notify Buyer in writing within five (5) Business Days (but, in any event, prior to the Scheduled Closing Date) whether Seller elects to Remove the same. Failure of Seller to respond in writing within such period shall be deemed an election by Seller not to Remove Buyer’s title objections. If Seller elects or is deemed to have elected not to Remove one or more of Buyer’s title objections (other than Required Removal Exceptions), then, within five (5) Business Days after Seller’s election or deemed election (but, in any event, prior to the Scheduled Closing Date), Buyer may elect in writing to either (i) terminate this Agreement, in which event the Deposit shall be paid to Buyer and, thereafter, the parties shall have no further rights or obligations hereunder except for obligations which expressly survive the termination of this Agreement, or (ii) waive such title objections and proceed to Closing without any reduction of or credit against the Purchase Price. Failure of Buyer to respond in writing within such period shall be deemed an election by Buyer to waive such title objections and proceed to Closing. Any such title objection so waived (or deemed waived) by Buyer shall constitute a Permitted Exception, and Closing shall occur as herein provided without any reduction of or credit against the Purchase Price on account of such title objection.
(d) Seller shall be entitled to one or more extensions of the Scheduled Closing Date (not to exceed thirty (30) days in the aggregate) for the purpose of the Removal of any exceptions to title. Seller shall have the right to replace the Title Company with another nationally recognized title insurance company satisfactory to
11
Buyer in its sole, but good faith, discretion if the Title Company fails or refuses to Remove any exceptions to title that Seller elects or is required to Remove.
ARTICLE IV - BUYER'S DUE DILIGENCE/AS-IS SALE

All due diligence performed by Buyer’s Representatives shall be performed in accordance with and subject to the terms of that certain Confidentiality and Property Access Agreement dated as of July 28, 2017 (the “Access Agreement”), by and between Seller and Buyer, which agreement is hereby incorporated herein. Seller and Buyer hereby ratify and confirm their respective obligations under the Access Agreement. In order to assist Buyer’s due diligence review, Seller has made, will make, or will cause to be made available to Buyer, the documents described on Exhibit K attached hereto, to the extent in existence and in Seller’s possession. Buyer has informed Seller that Buyer is required by law to complete with respect to certain matters relating to the Property an audit commonly known as a “3-14” Audit (“Buyer’s 3-14 Audit”).

Buyer acknowledges that all such information shall be provided to Buyer on an “AS IS” basis, and Seller shall not have any liability or obligation in connection with any information obtained in connection with any audit, and Buyer hereby waives any and all rights in connection with the same. To the extent any provisions of the Access Agreement conflict with the provisions of this Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement shall control. Buyer hereby acknowledges that the Due Diligence Period has expired and that it does not have any right to terminate this Agreement except as expressly provided for in this Agreement (including, without limitation, Sections 6.4, 6.6, 9.2 and 10.1). Buyer and Seller each acknowledge and agree that any access to the Property or Due Diligence conducted by Buyer after the expiration of the Due Diligence Period shall not provide Buyer with the right to terminate this Agreement or to receive a refund of the Deposit; provided however, nothing herein shall impair the right of Buyer to terminate this Agreement as elsewhere expressly provided in this Agreement.
Section 4.2 As-Is Provisions.
4.2.1 As-Is Sale. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that:

This release shall be given full force and effect according to each of its expressed terms and provisions, including, without limitation, those related to unknown or unsuspected claims, damages or causes of action. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the foregoing release and waiver is not intended and shall not be construed as affecting or impairing any rights or remedies that Buyer may have against Seller with respect to (i) a breach of any of Seller’s Warranties, (ii) any of the obligations of Seller under this Agreement that expressly survive the Closing, or (iii) any acts constituting fraud by Seller.
13
4.2.3 Property Conveyed Subject To. By accepting the Deed and closing the Transaction, Buyer acknowledges and agrees that it is accepting the Deed and purchasing the Property subject to the following: (a) any and all Liabilities attributable to the Property to the extent that the same arise or accrue on or after the Closing and are attributable to events or circumstances which arise or occur on or after the Closing; and (b) any and all Liabilities with respect to the structural, physical or environmental condition of the Property, whether such Liabilities are latent or patent, whether the same arise or accrue before, on or after the Closing, and whether the same are attributable to events or circumstances which may arise or occur before, on or after the Closing, including, without limitation, all Environmental Liabilities; and (c) any and all Liabilities with respect to which Buyer receives a credit at Closing, but only to the extent of such credit. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that the Liabilities referenced in each of the foregoing clauses are intended to be independent of one another, so Buyer shall accept the Deed and purchase the Property subject to each of the Liabilities described in each of the clauses even though some of those Liabilities may be read to be excluded by another clause. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the foregoing provision is not intended to and shall not be construed as affecting or impairing any rights or remedies that Buyer may have against Seller with respect to a breach of any of Seller’s Warranties.

4.3.2 Survival. The provisions of this Section 4.3 shall survive the Closing (and not be merged therein) or any earlier termination of this Agreement.
ARTICLE V - ADJUSTMENTS AND PRORATIONS
Section 5.1 Proration of Income.
5.1.1 Rents. All collected Rents and any other income from Property operations, including parking revenue and any license fees, shall be prorated (based on the periods to which they relate and are applicable, and regardless of when payable) between Seller and Buyer as of 12:01 a.m. on the Closing Date (the “Apportionment Time”). Rents or other income from Property operations not collected as of the Closing Date shall not be
14
prorated at the time of Closing. Percentage rent due from any tenant shall be prorated as herein provided at such time as Buyer collects the same in accordance with Section 5.1.2.
5.1.2 Post-Closing Collections. For the period commencing upon the Closing Date and ending on May 31, 2018, Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts (by rendering regular invoices only) to collect any Rents and other income from Property operations not collected as of the Closing on Seller’s behalf and to tender the same to Seller promptly upon receipt; provided, however, that all Rents collected by Buyer or Seller on or after the Closing Date shall first be applied to all amounts due under the applicable Lease at the time of collection (i.e., current Rents and sums due Buyer as the current owner and landlord) with the balance (if any) payable to Seller to the extent of amounts delinquent and due Seller. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer shall not be required to institute any legal or collection proceedings to collect any delinquent Rents. Following the Closing, Seller will retain ownership rights relating to any such delinquent amounts owed by any tenant under the Leases or other party for sums due with respect to periods prior to the Closing, and if Buyer has not collected with same within ninety (90) days after the Closing, Seller shall be entitled to pursue claims against any tenant under the Leases for sums due with respect to periods prior to the Closing Date; provided, however, with respect to any legal proceedings against any tenant under a Lease, Seller (a) shall be required to notify Buyer in writing of its intention to pursue such legal proceedings; (b) shall only be permitted to pursue any legal proceedings after the date which is six (6) months after the Closing; and (c) shall not be permitted to pursue any legal proceedings against any tenant seeking eviction of such tenant or the termination of such tenant’s Lease. Any Rents received by Seller after the Closing shall be promptly remitted to Buyer for distribution accordance with the provisions hereof.
5.1.3 Cash Security Deposits. At Closing, Seller shall give Buyer a credit in the aggregate amount of all cash security deposits then required to be held by Seller under the Leases. Unless and until this Agreement is terminated, Seller shall not apply any security deposits reflected in the rent roll delivered by Seller to Buyer prior to the Effective Date of this Agreement to any obligations under the Leases.
Section 5.2 Proration of Taxes and Other Property Expenses.
5.2.1 Real Estate and Personal Property Taxes. Subject to Section 8.4, all real estate, personal property, ad valorem taxes and special assessments, and any vault charges, payable during the calendar year in which the Closing occurs (regardless of the fiscal year, tax year or other period to which such taxes or charges may be attributable), will be prorated between Seller and Buyer as of the Apportionment Time on the basis of actual bills therefor, if available, which proration shall be made on a cash basis. For example, if the Closing occurs on or before December 31, 2017, the 2016 taxes, which are payable in calendar year 2017, shall be prorated as of the Apportionment Time and the 2017 taxes, which are payable in calendar year 2018, will not be prorated at Closing and Buyer shall be solely responsible for the payment of the same. If the actual taxes payable in the calendar year in which the Closing occurs have not been established as of the Closing, then Seller and Buyer shall prorate taxes based on the most recent available proposed assessed value, tax rate and equalization factor with such proration to be recalculated and reconciled in cash between Seller and Buyer promptly after presentation
15
of written evidence that the actual taxes payable in the calendar year in which the Closing occurs differ from the amounts used for proration purposes at Closing. In no event shall Seller be charged with or be responsible for any increase in the 2016 taxes (taxes payable in calendar year 2017) for the Property resulting from the sale of the Property contemplated by this Agreement. Buyer agrees that it shall be solely responsible for paying all such taxes, charges and assessments due on account of any period from and after the Closing Date. Subject to Section 8.4, any and all rebates or reductions in taxes received subsequent to Closing payable for the calendar year in which Closing occurs, net of costs of obtaining the same (including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees) and net of any amounts due to tenants, shall be prorated as of the Apportionment Time, when received.
5.2.2 Insurance. Premiums on insurance policies will not be adjusted. As of the Closing Date, Seller will terminate its insurance coverage with respect to the Property and Buyer will obtain its own insurance coverage.
5.2.3 Contracts and Other Property Operating Expenses. All charges and payments under the Contracts assigned to, and assumed by, Buyer hereunder and operating expenses for the Property payable by Seller shall be prorated as of the Apportionment Time. To the extent that the amount of actual consumption of any utility services is not determined prior to the Closing Date, a proration shall be made at Closing based on the last available reading and post-closing adjustments between Buyer and Seller shall be made within thirty (30) days following the date that actual consumption for such pre-closing period is determined. Seller shall not assign to Buyer any deposits which Seller has with any of the utility services or companies servicing the Property. Buyer shall arrange with such services and companies to have accounts opened in Buyer’s name beginning at 12:01 a.m. on the Closing Date.
5.2.4 Lease Expenses.
(a) At Closing, Buyer shall receive a credit on the Buyer’s Closing Statement for all unsatisfied Lease Expenses, including but not limited to those Lease Expenses set forth on Exhibit N, which were incurred, or are to be incurred, in connection with any and all Leases executed, modified or extended by Seller prior to the Effective Date, or in the case of free or reduced rent, a credit for amounts for the periods attributable from and after the Closing Date (collectively, the “Pre-Closing Leasing Expenses”). Seller shall remain responsible for satisfying any Pre-Closing Leasing Expenses which were not credited, but which were supposed to be credited, to Buyer at Closing, provided that Buyer provides written notice to Seller of such Pre-Closing Lease Expense prior to the expiration of the Reproration Adjustment Period. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, (i) Seller shall not credit to Buyer, and Buyer shall be and remain responsible for, any Lease Expenses due and owing with respect to the Loan Depot Lease; and (ii) Buyer and Seller shall equally share any Lease Expenses due and owing with respect to the HPZS Lease (the “HPZS Lease Costs”), Seller shall credit to Buyer fifty percent (50%) of HPZS Lease Costs, and Buyer shall be responsible for the HPZS Lease Costs. The parties acknowledge that the amount of the HPZS Lease Costs listed on Exhibit N is an estimate that is subject to adjustment at Closing.
16
(b) At Closing, Seller shall receive a credit on the Seller’s Closing Statement for all Lease Expenses paid or incurred by or on behalf of Seller prior to Closing arising out of or in connection with any new Lease or modification of any Lease entered into between the Effective Date and the Closing in accordance with Section 8.1, but only to the extent that the amounts of such Lease Expenses were disclosed to Buyer in writing in the new Lease or modification at the time of the approval (or deemed approval) of Buyer of such new Lease or modification.
(c) At Closing, Buyer shall assume Seller’s obligations to pay, when due (whether on a stated due date or accelerated) Lease Expenses unpaid as of the Closing, but only to the extent (i) such Lease Expenses are in connection with the Loan Depot Lease and the HPZS Lease, or (ii) are Lease Expenses listed on Exhibit N for which Buyer received a credit at Closing pursuant to Section 5.2.4(a).
Section 5.3 Closing Costs. Closing costs shall be allocated between Buyer and Seller as follows:

Section 5.4 Delayed Adjustment; Delivery of Financial Data. If at any time following the Closing Date but before expiration of the Reproration Adjustment Period, the amount of an item prorated or credited at Closing shall prove to be incorrect (whether as a result of an error in calculation, a lack of complete and accurate information or otherwise (including, but not limited to, the HPZS Lease Costs or any CAM reconciliations due to the same being based upon estimates at Closing)) or otherwise require adjustment as a result of any year-end or periodic reconciliations of any amount, including, without limitation, percentage rent, tenant reimbursements or operating expenses, the party owing money as a result of such error or adjustment shall pay to the other party
17
the sum necessary to correct such error or adjustment within thirty (30) days following receipt of a recalculation of any and all amounts due or subject to proration under this Article V and supporting documentation for such recalculation. In order to enable Seller to determine whether any such delayed adjustment is necessary, Buyer shall provide to Seller current operating and financial statements (or such excerpts thereof as are sufficient to provide the information necessary for the determination of such adjustments) for the Property and copies of any applicable correspondence and statements sent to tenants in connection with any reconciliation promptly after the same are prepared, but, in any event, no later than the date that is thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the Reproration Adjustment Period.

(b) Title Conditions Satisfied. Delivery at the time of Closing of the standard current form of an owner’s policy of title insurance (the “Title Policy”), or an irrevocable commitment to issue the same, with liability in the amount of the Purchase Price issued by the Title Company, insuring that fee title to the Real Property vests in Buyer subject only to the Permitted Exceptions.

(c) Estoppel Certificates. Buyer shall have received, no less than three (3) business days prior to the Scheduled Closing Date (the “Tenant Estoppel Deadline”), executed Approved Estoppels (as defined in Section 8.7 below), with those changes reasonably acceptable to Buyer and not disclosing the existence of any default under the Leases referenced to therein, from each of the Required Tenants (the “Minimum Estoppel Threshold”). Buyer shall be required to accept any such estoppel certificate if the same: (1) is dated no earlier than the Effective Date, and (2) is substantially in the form of the Approved Estoppels, it being agreed that (i) the inclusion of qualifications as to knowledge or word of similar import to Paragraphs 7 or 10 to the form of Approved Estoppel, (ii) solely in relation to audit rights, references to a general condition statement such as “we reserve all rights” or “subject to our audit of ____ years’ operating expenses or taxes” and (iii) modifications thereof to correct scrivener’s errors in order to conform the same to Leases or other information delivered or available to Buyer prior to the date of the execution of this Agreement shall not give Buyer, in each instance (i) through (iii) herein, any basis to not accept such estoppel.

21
Notwithstanding any provisions in this Agreement to the contrary, if Buyer fails to object in writing to an estoppel certificate executed by any tenant within five (5) Business Days after the date a copy of the same has been delivered to any Buyer’s Representative, Buyer shall be deemed to have approved the same.

Unless Buyer elects to waive the condition set forth in this Section 6.4(e), either party may elect to postpone the Scheduled Closing Date for a period not to exceed thirty (30) days in order to allow Seller additional time to satisfy the condition set forth in this Section 6.4(e), upon delivery of written notice to the non-extending party no later than three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date. Failure of the Seller to satisfy the condition set forth in this Section 6.4(e) prior to Closing shall not constitute a default by Seller hereunder and Buyer’s sole remedy shall be to either waive the condition to Closing or to terminate this Contract and receive a return of the Deposit from Escrow Agent.

At any time on or before the date specified for the satisfaction of any condition, Seller or Buyer may elect in writing to waive the benefit of any such condition to its obligations hereunder. By closing the Transaction, Seller and Buyer shall be conclusively deemed to have waived the benefit of any remaining unfulfilled conditions set forth in this Article VI, except to the extent that the same expressly survive Closing.
22
In the event any of the conditions set forth in this Article VI are neither waived nor fulfilled, Seller or Buyer (as appropriate) shall have such rights and remedies, if any, that such party may have pursuant to the terms of Article IX. If this Agreement is terminated as a result of the failure of any condition set forth in this Article VI that is not also a default or breach by Buyer hereunder, then the Deposit shall be returned to Buyer and, thereafter, neither party shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder except for obligations which expressly survive termination of this Agreement.

Section 7.3 General Provisions.
7.3.1 Seller’s Warranties Deemed Modified. To the extent that Buyer has actual knowledge prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period that Seller’s Warranties are inaccurate, untrue or incorrect in any way, such Seller’s Warranties shall be deemed modified to reflect Buyer’s actual knowledge. If Buyer receives an estoppel certificate from any tenant that complies with the terms of Section 6.4(c), the representations and warranties of Seller contained in Sections 7.2.5 and 7.2.7 above shall be without further force or effect with respect to such tenant or Lease as of the date of such tenant’s estoppel certificate. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, (i) Seller does not represent or warrant that any Lease will be in force or effect at Closing, that any tenant will have performed its obligations under its Lease or that any tenant will not be the subject of bankruptcy proceedings and (ii) the occurrence after the Effective Date of (1) any default by a tenant, (2) the failure by a tenant to perform its obligations under its Lease or (3) the existence of bankruptcy proceedings pertaining to any tenant shall not affect Buyer’s obligations hereunder in any manner or entitle Buyer to an abatement of or credit against the Purchase Price or give rise to any other claim on the part of Buyer.
7.3.2 Breach of Warranties Prior to Closing. If after the expiration of the Due Diligence Period but prior to the Closing, either Buyer or Seller obtains actual knowledge that any of the representations or warranties made herein are untrue, inaccurate or incorrect in any material respect, such party may give the other party written notice thereof within five (5) Business Days of obtaining such knowledge (but, in any event, prior to the Closing). In the event of any breach of a Seller Warranty or a Buyer Warranty of which Buyer or Seller obtains actual knowledge prior to Closing, the breaching party shall have the right to cure such misrepresentation or breach and either Buyer or Seller shall be entitled to a reasonable extension of the Scheduled Closing Date (not to exceed thirty (30) days) for purposes of permitting the breaching party to have an opportunity to effect such cure to the extent that such misrepresentation or breach can be cured by the payment of money. The untruth, inaccuracy or incorrectness of Seller’s Warranties shall be deemed material for all purposes of this Agreement only if Buyer’s aggregate damages resulting from the untruth, inaccuracy or incorrectness of Seller’s Warranties are reasonably estimated to exceed Seller’s Liability Materiality Threshold. If any of Seller’s Warranties is untrue, inaccurate or incorrect but Buyer’s aggregate damages resulting therefrom are not reasonably estimated to exceed Seller’s Liability Materiality Threshold, then Buyer shall be deemed to waive such misrepresentation or breach of warranty, and Buyer shall be required to consummate the Transaction with a reduction of or credit against the Purchase Price in an amount equal to such damages but not to exceed Seller’s Liability Materiality Threshold. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if a representation or warranty is not true and correct in all material respects as of the Closing Date by reason of changed facts or circumstances arising after the Effective Date which did not arise by reason of a breach of any covenant made by Seller under this Agreement, then Buyer’s sole remedy in respect thereof shall be as provided in Section 6.6.
7.3.3 Survival; Limitation on Seller’s Liability. Seller’s Warranties shall survive the Closing and not be merged therein for a period of one hundred eighty (180) days following Closing (“Seller’s Warranty Survival Period”), and Seller shall only be
26
liable to Buyer hereunder for a breach of a Seller’s Warranty with respect to which Seller receives a written notice of a claim from Buyer on or before the expiration of Seller’s Warranty Survival Period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, if the Closing occurs, Buyer hereby expressly waives, relinquishes and releases any rights or remedies available to it at law, in equity, under this Agreement or otherwise, including, without limitation, any claim against Seller for damages that Buyer may incur, as the result of any of Seller’s Warranties being untrue, inaccurate or incorrect if (a) Buyer had actual knowledge that any Seller’s Warranties were untrue, inaccurate or incorrect at the time of the Closing, or (b) the untruth, inaccuracy or incorrectness of such Seller’s Warranties causes damages to Buyer in the aggregate less than Seller’s Liability Materiality Threshold. To secure the obligations of Seller set forth in this Section 7.3.3 and any covenants of Seller under this Agreement that survive the Closing, at Closing, Buyer will hold back an amount equal to Seller’s Liability Cap (i.e., $652,500) of the Purchase Price (the “Holdback Amount”). The Holdback Amount shall be deposited and held in escrow in an interest bearing account with the Escrow Agent during the Seller’s Warranty Survival Period pursuant to an escrow agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit Q attached hereto (the “Holdback Escrow Agreement”). Upon expiration of Seller’s Warranty Survival Period, the then-remaining Holdback Amount, including any interest thereon, shall be released to Seller; provided, however, that, pursuant to the Holdback Escrow Agreement, in the event that Buyer has any claims pending for a breach of Seller’s Warranties, then a portion of the Holdback Amount in an amount equal to the product of the amount reasonably necessary to satisfy any such pending claim multiplied by one and one-half shall continue to be held by Escrow Agent pending resolution of such claim and the balance of the Holdback Amount, including any interest thereon, shall be disbursed to Seller.
7.3.4 Survival. The provisions of this Section 7.3 shall survive the Closing (and not be merged therein) or any earlier termination of this Agreement.
ARTICLE VIII - COVENANTS
Section 8.1 Contracts, Title Instruments, and Leases.
(a) Without Buyer’s prior written consent, between the Effective Date and the Closing, Seller shall not (i) extend, renew, replace or otherwise modify any Contract or enter into any new service contract or agreement which would be binding upon the Buyer or the Property following the Closing, except as otherwise may be required under the Leases (including, without limitation, new Leases executed in accordance with this Section 8.1) (collectively, “Permitted Contracts”), which Seller may enter into, replace or otherwise modify as reasonably determined by Seller consistent with Seller’s past practices relating to Contracts, (ii) execute any instrument which affects title to the Property, or (iii) enter into any new Lease or modify any Lease (except pursuant to the exercise by a tenant of a renewal, extension or expansion option or other right contained in such tenant’s Lease). For any Contract, Lease or other instrument which requires Buyer’s consent under this Section 8.1(a), Seller shall furnish Buyer with a copy of the proposed agreement which shall contain such information reasonably necessary to enable Buyer to make informed decisions with respect to the advisability of the proposed transaction. If Buyer fails to object in writing to any such agreement within five (5) Business Days after receipt thereof, Buyer shall be deemed to have approved the
27
terms of the proposed transaction. Buyer’s consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed with respect to any such agreement that is proposed prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period. Buyer, in its sole and absolute discretion, shall be entitled to grant or withhold its consent with respect to any such agreement or transaction that is proposed between the expiration of the Due Diligence Period and the Closing, or at any time between the Effective Date and the Closing for any instrument which affects title to the Property.
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing terms of this section, if any Lease requires that the landlord’s consent be given under the applicable circumstances (or not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), then Buyer shall be held to the same standard of approval.
(c) Between the Effective Date and the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, Seller shall be entitled to enforce any rights or remedies of the landlord under any Lease, including without limitation, to apply all or any portion of any security deposits then held by Seller toward any loss or damage incurred by Seller by reason of any defaults by tenants; provided that Seller provides Buyer with written notice of any action. From and after the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, without Buyer’s prior written consent (in its sole and absolute discretion), Seller shall not enforce any rights or remedies of the landlord under any Lease, including without limitation, to apply all or any portion of any security deposits then held by Seller toward any loss or damage incurred by Seller by reason of any defaults by tenants.
(d) With respect to any security deposits which are letters of credit, at Closing, Seller shall execute and deliver to Buyer such instruments as the issuers of such letters of credit shall reasonably require in order to cause the named beneficiary under such letter of credit to be changed to Buyer (it being acknowledged and agreed that receipt of changed letters of credit naming Buyer as beneficiary shall not be closing requirement hereunder). Seller shall have no obligation to transfer to Buyer any letters of credit which are not, by their terms, transferable. Seller shall be liable for payment of any fees imposed by the issuer of any letter of credit to be transferred. The provisions of this section shall survive the Closing and not be merged therein.
(e) On or before the Closing, Seller shall terminate the property management and leasing agreements currently in effect with Seller’s Property Manager respect to the Property at the sole cost and expense of Seller. In addition, if Buyer requests in writing prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period to have any Terminable Contracts terminated, Seller shall cause such Terminable Contracts to be terminated at Seller’s sole cost and expense. If Buyer requests that any Terminable Contract be terminated in accordance with this Section 8.1(e), such Terminable Contract shall not be deemed included within the definition of Contracts being assigned to Buyer at Closing pursuant to the Assignment Agreement. At Closing, Seller shall assign and Buyer shall assume all of Seller’s rights and, to the extent first arising from and after the Closing, obligations under any Terminable Contracts which Buyer does not timely request to be terminated in accordance with this Section 8.1(e), and under all Non-Terminable Contracts, in each case, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Assignment Agreement, provided that in no event shall Seller have any obligation to
28
obtain the consent of any other party to any Contract to the assignment of such Contract to Buyer.
Section 8.2 Maintenance of Property. Except to the extent Seller is relieved of such obligations by Article X, between the Effective Date and the Closing, Seller shall operate and maintain the Property in a manner consistent with Seller’s past practices with respect to the Property; provided, however, except as expressly provided in this Agreement, Seller shall not be obligated to perform any capital improvements or any deferred maintenance repairs. Buyer hereby agrees that, except as expressly provided in this Agreement or for breaches of this Section 8.2, Buyer, shall accept the Property subject to, and Seller shall have no obligation to cure, (a) any violations of Laws, or (b) any physical conditions which would give rise to violations of Laws, whether the same now exist or arise prior to Closing. Between the Effective Date and the Closing, Seller will promptly advise Buyer of any written notice Seller receives after the Effective Date from any governmental authority of the violation of any Laws regulating the condition or use of the Property.
Section 8.3 Brokers. Seller and Buyer expressly acknowledge that Seller’s Broker has acted as the exclusive broker with respect to the Transaction and with respect to this Agreement. Seller shall pay any brokerage commission due to Seller’s Broker in accordance with the separate agreement between Seller and Seller’s Broker. Seller agrees to hold Buyer harmless and indemnify Buyer from and against any and all Liabilities (including reasonable attorneys’ fees, expenses and disbursements) suffered or incurred by Buyer as a result of any claims by Seller’s Broker or any other party claiming to have represented Seller as broker in connection with the Transaction. Buyer agrees to hold Seller harmless and indemnify Seller from and against any and all Liabilities (including reasonable attorneys’ fees, expenses and disbursements) suffered or incurred by Seller as a result of any claims by any party claiming to have represented Buyer as broker in connection with the Transaction. The provisions of this section shall survive the Closing (and not be merged therein) or the earlier termination of this Agreement.
Section 8.4 Tax Protests; Tax Refunds and Credits. Seller may file and/or prosecute an application for the reduction of the assessed valuation of the Property or any portion thereof for real estate taxes and/or assessed value attributable to the calendar year 2017, or a refund of real estate taxes previously paid and attributable to the calendar year 2016 and prior years (a “Tax Certiorari Proceeding”) to the City of Chicago, Illinois Seller shall not file and/or prosecute any such Tax Certiorari Proceeding for any taxes and/or assessed value of the Property attributable the calendar year after the year in which the Closing shall occur or any subsequent year. Seller shall have the right to withdraw, settle or otherwise compromise Tax Certiorari Proceedings affecting real estate taxes assessed against the Property (i) for any taxes payable in any period prior to the calendar year in which the Closing shall occur without the prior consent of Buyer (provided that any such settlement shall not have any adverse impact on real estate taxes payable in the calendar year in which the Closing occurs or any calendar year thereafter), and (ii) for the any taxes payable in the calendar year in which the Closing shall occur or any calendar year thereafter, provided Buyer shall have consented with respect thereto, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed and which consent shall be deemed granted in the event that Buyer fails to respond to a written request for its consent within ten (10) Business Days of Buyer’s receipt of a written request for such consent. The amount of any tax refunds (net of attorneys’ fees and other costs of obtaining such tax refunds) with respect to any portion of the Property for the calendar year in which the Apportionment Time occurs shall be apportioned between Seller and Buyer as of the
29
Apportionment Time with a prior allocation of the portion thereof which must be returned to tenants pursuant to the terms of the Leases. Seller hereby agrees to be responsible for the return of such refund to such tenants for the period up to and including the date prior to the Closing Date and Buyer hereby agrees to be responsible for the return of such refunds attributable to the period from and after the Closing Date to the extent any such amount is paid to Buyer. All refunds, credits or other benefits applicable to any period prior to the calendar year in which the Closing shall occur shall belong solely to Seller (and Buyer shall have no interest therein) and, if the same shall be paid to Buyer or anyone acting on behalf of Buyer, same shall be paid to Seller within thirty (30) days following receipt thereof. The provisions of this Section 8.4 shall survive the Closing.
Section 8.5 Publicity. Seller and Buyer each hereby covenant and agree that (a) prior to the Closing, neither Seller nor Buyer shall issue any press release or similar public statement with respect to the Transaction or this Agreement (a “Press Release”) without the prior consent of the other, except to the extent required by applicable Law, and (b) after the Closing, any Press Release issued by either Seller or Buyer shall be subject to the review and approval of both parties (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed and such response shall be provided within two (2) Business Days after submission of a draft of the Press Release to the other party for review), except to the extent required by applicable Law. If either Seller or Buyer is required by applicable Law to issue a Press Release, such party shall, at least two (2) Business Days prior to the issuance of the same, deliver a copy of the proposed Press Release to the other party for its review. The provisions of this section shall survive the Closing (and not be merged therein) or the earlier termination of this Agreement.
Section 8.6 Confidentiality.
(a) Buyer shall hold, and shall instruct each of the other Buyer’s Representatives and any prospective investors in and/or lender’s to Buyer to hold in strict confidence and not disclose to any other person without the prior written consent of Seller: (i) the terms of the Agreement, (ii) unless and until the Closing occurs, any of the information in respect of the Property delivered or made available to any Buyer’s Representatives, and (iii) the identity of any direct or indirect owner of any beneficial interest in Seller. In the event the Closing does not occur or this Agreement is terminated, Buyer shall, upon Seller’s written request, promptly return to Seller, or destroy, all copies of documents containing any of such information without retaining any copy thereof or extract therefrom except for legal or compliance purposes. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary hereinabove set forth, Buyer (or any entity for which Buyer now or hereafter acts as the investment advisor) may disclose such information relating to thus Agreement or the Property (x) on a need-to-know basis to its employees, agents, consultants and members of professional firms serving it or potential lenders or investors, (y) as required by law or any governmental agency may require in order to comply with applicable laws or court order (including, but not limited to, (1) to any due diligence representatives and/or consultants that are engaged by, work for or are acting on behalf of, any securities dealers and/or broker dealers evaluating Buyer (or any entity for which Buyer now or hereafter acts as the investment advisor), (2) in connection with any filings (including any amendment or supplement to any S-11 filing) with governmental agencies (including the SEC) by Buyer (or any entity for which Buyer now or hereafter acts as the investment advisor), and (3) to any broker/dealers in Buyer’s (or any entity for which Buyer now or hereafter acts as the investment advisor) broker/dealer
30
network and any of the investors in any entity for which Buyer now or hereafter acts as the investment advisor), and (z) to the extent that such information is a matter of public record. Buyer hereby agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold each of the Seller Parties free and harmless from and against any and all Liabilities (including reasonable attorneys’ fees, expenses and disbursements) arising out of or resulting from the breach of the terms of this section.
(b) The provisions of this section shall survive the Closing (and not be merged therein) or earlier termination of this Agreement.
Section 8.7 Approved Estoppels and SNDAs.
(a) Seller covenants and agrees that (i) Seller shall prepare, or cause to be prepared, and deliver to Buyer for review and approval, within five (5) business days after the Effective Date, the estoppel certificates Seller intends to deliver to the tenants (“Prepared Estoppels”), which shall be based on the form of estoppel certificate attached hereto as Exhibit J, and (ii) Seller shall remit, or cause to be remitted, the Prepared Estoppels to all the tenants of the Property for signature within three (3) business days following Buyer’s notice to Seller that Buyer has approved the Prepared Estoppels (which notice shall set forth any required corrections). If Buyer fails to notify Seller of its approval of, or any changes to, the Prepared Estoppels it receives from Seller for approval within three (3) business days following Buyer’s receipt of the same, Buyer shall be deemed to have approved the form of such Prepared Estoppels and Seller shall forward such Prepared Estoppels to all the tenants of the Property. Estoppel certificates prepared by Seller and approved (or deemed approved) by Buyer as provided above are hereinafter referred to, collectively, as “Approved Estoppels”.
(b) Seller agrees that upon the request of Buyer, Seller shall deliver to tenants of the Property the form of subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement required by Buyer’s lender (“SNDAs”) and shall request that such tenants execute and return the SNDAs prior to Closing; provided, however, that it shall not be a condition to Closing that Seller deliver to Buyer the executed SNDAs and Seller’s failure to deliver the executed SNDAs to Buyer shall not constitute a default by Seller under this Agreement.
ARTICLE IX - FAILURE TO CLOSE
Section 9.1 Failure to Close by Buyer. If Buyer fails to purchase the Property when it is obligated to do so under this Agreement, then Seller shall have the right to (a) terminate this Agreement by written notice to Buyer, promptly after which the Deposit shall be paid to Seller as liquidated damages and, thereafter, the parties shall have no further rights or obligations hereunder except for obligations which expressly survive the termination of this Agreement, or (b) waive the default or breach and proceed to close the Transaction. Seller and Buyer have discussed the possible consequences to Seller in the event that the Closing does not occur by reason of any of the events described in this section. The parties agree that it would be impractical or extremely difficult to determine the actual damages to Seller in such event and that a reasonable estimate of such damages is an amount equal to the Deposit. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 9.1, in the event of Buyer’s default or a termination of this Agreement, Seller
31
shall have all remedies available at law or in equity in the event Buyer or any party related or affiliated with Buyer is asserting any claims that enjoins or restricts Seller’s ability to sell or transfer the Property.
Section 9.2 Failure to Close Due to Seller. If, on or before the Scheduled Closing Date, Seller is in default of any of its material obligations hereunder, or any of Seller’s Warranties are, in the aggregate, untrue, inaccurate or incorrect in any material respect and Buyer’s aggregate damages resulting from the untruth, inaccuracy or incorrectness of Seller’s Warranties are reasonably estimated by Buyer to exceed Seller’s Liability Materiality Threshold, and any such circumstance described in this sentence continues for five (5) Business Days after written notice delivered to Seller from Buyer (which written notice shall detail such default or breach), then Buyer shall have the right to elect, as its sole and exclusive remedy, to (a) terminate this Agreement by written notice to Seller, promptly after which the Deposit shall be returned to Buyer, Seller shall reimburse Buyer for all of Buyer’s actual third party out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Buyer in negotiating this Agreement and performing its due diligence investigations hereunder in an amount not to exceed $50,000 in the aggregate, and, thereafter, the parties shall have no further rights or obligations hereunder except for obligations which expressly survive the termination of this Agreement, or (b) waive the default or breach and proceed to close the Transaction, or (c) seek specific performance of this Agreement by Seller. As a condition precedent to Buyer exercising any right it may have to bring an action for specific performance hereunder, Buyer must commence such an action within sixty (60) days after the occurrence of Seller’s default. Buyer agrees that its failure to timely commence such an action for specific performance within such sixty (60) day period shall be deemed a waiver by it of its right to commence an action for specific performance as well as a waiver by it of any right it may have to file or record a notice of lis pendens or notice of pendency of action or similar notice against any portion of the Property.
Section 9.3 Indemnity Obligations. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall the provisions of this Article IX limit the rights of either party against the other party due to the other party’s obligation to indemnify such party in accordance with this Agreement or the damages recoverable pursuant to such indemnification obligations. This Section 9.3 shall survive the Closing (and not be merged therein) or the earlier termination of this Agreement.
ARTICLE X - CASUALTY/CONDEMNATION
Section 10.1 Right to Terminate. If, after the Effective Date, (a) any portion of the Property is taken by condemnation or eminent domain (or is the subject of a pending taking), or (b) any portion of the Property is damaged or destroyed (excluding routine wear and tear and damage caused by any Buyer’s Representative), Seller shall notify Buyer in writing of such fact promptly after obtaining knowledge thereof. If the Property is the subject of a Major Casualty/Condemnation (as hereinafter defined) that occurs after the Effective Date, Buyer shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by giving written notice to Seller no later than ten (10) Business Days after Buyer’s receipt of Seller’s notice, and the Scheduled Closing Date shall be extended, if necessary, to provide sufficient time for Buyer to make such election. The failure by Buyer to terminate this Agreement within such ten (10) Business Day period shall be deemed an election not to terminate this Agreement. If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to this section, the Deposit shall be returned to Buyer and, thereafter, the parties shall have no further rights or obligations hereunder except for obligations which expressly survive the termination of this
32
Agreement. For the purposes of this Agreement, “Major Casualty/Condemnation” shall mean any casualty, condemnation proceedings, or eminent domain proceedings if (i) the portion of the Property that is the subject of such casualty or such condemnation or eminent domain proceedings has a value in excess of seven and one-half percent (7.5%) of the Purchase Price, in the estimate of an architect or contractor selected by Seller and reasonably acceptable to Buyer, (ii) any casualty is an uninsured casualty and Seller, in its sole and absolute discretion, does not elect to cause the damage to be repaired or restored or give Buyer a credit at Closing for such repair or restoration, (iii) the damage, destruction or condemnation materially impairs access to the Property, (iv) the damage, destruction or condemnation results in the Property materially violating any Laws or failing to comply with zoning or any covenants, conditions or restrictions affecting the Property, or (v) the damage, destruction or condemnation entitles any tenant listed in clauses (i)-(viii) of the definition of Required Tenants to terminate its Lease or entitles any tenant to abate rent in excess of $10,000 and Seller has not agreed (with no obligation to do so) to provide Buyer a credit in the amount of such rent abatement.
Section 10.2 Allocation of Proceeds and Awards. If a condemnation or casualty occurs after the Effective Date and this Agreement is not terminated as permitted pursuant to the terms of Section 10.1, then this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect, Buyer shall acquire the remainder of the Property upon the terms set forth herein. Any awards or proceeds from the condemning authority or Seller’s insurance company, as the case may be (the “Casualty/Condemnation Proceeds”) shall be allocated between Buyer and Seller as follows: (a) Seller shall be entitled to be reimbursed from the Casualty/Condemnation Proceeds for (i) all costs, expenses and fees, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, expenses and disbursements, incurred by Seller in connection with negotiating the settlement of such award or proceeds, (ii) proceeds of any rental loss, business interruption or similar insurance, or other compensation or loss of use, that are allocable to the period prior to the Closing Date, and (iii) the reasonable and actual costs incurred by Seller in physically stabilizing the Property following a casualty (the nature of which restoration or repairs, but not the right of Seller to effect such restoration or repairs, shall be subject to the approval of Buyer, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided, however, that such approval shall not be required in connection with immediate repairs needed in connection with an emergency); and (b) Buyer shall be entitled to (i) the balance of the Casualty/Condemnation Proceeds, and (ii) a credit from Seller equal to Seller’s deductible with respect to a casualty, if the same is an insured casualty.
Section 10.3 Insurance. Seller shall maintain the property insurance coverage currently in effect for the Property, or comparable coverage, through the Closing Date.
Section 10.4 Waiver. The provisions of this Article X supersede the provisions of any applicable Laws with respect to the subject matter of this Article X.
ARTICLE XI - MISCELLANEOUS
Section 11.1 Buyer’s Assignment.
(a) Buyer shall not, in whole or in part, assign this Agreement or its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of Seller, which consent Seller may grant or withhold in its sole and absolute discretion, and any such attempted assignment shall be null and void ab initio. Any transfer, directly or indirectly, of any
33
stock, partnership interest or other ownership interest in Buyer shall constitute an assignment of this Agreement; provided, however, the foregoing shall not be construed to prohibit the transfer of stock in a publicly traded company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer shall have the right, without the necessity of obtaining Seller’s consent but with prior written notice to Seller not less than ten (10) business days in advance of the Closing Date, to assign its right, title and interest in and to this Agreement to an entity wholly owned (directly or indirectly) by an entity for which KBS Capital Advisors LLC acts as the investment advisor at the Closing Date.
(b) In the event Buyer intends to assign its rights hereunder, Buyer shall deliver to Seller written notice of its request at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the Scheduled Closing Date, which notice shall include the legal name and structure of the proposed assignee. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary:
(i) Any permitted assignment by Buyer shall not relieve Buyer of any of its obligations and liabilities hereunder, nor shall any such assignment alter, impair or relieve such assignee from the waivers, acknowledgements and agreements of Buyer set forth herein, including those set forth in Section 4.2, Article VII and Article VIII, all of which will be binding upon any assignee of Buyer. If Seller approves a proposed assignment (or is deemed to have approved a proposed assignment), Buyer and the proposed assignee shall execute an assignment and assumption of this Agreement pursuant to which Buyer’s obligations under this Agreement are expressly assumed by such assignee and Buyer and assignee affirm their joint and several liability under this Agreement.
(ii) 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 Section 7.1 to be untrue, inaccurate or incomplete and Buyer covenants to reasonably cooperate with Seller’s requests to provide any documentation reasonably necessary 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 ten (10) Business Days prior to the Scheduled Closing Date, then both Buyer and Seller shall have the right, at their election, to postpone the Scheduled Closing Date for a reasonable period until such verification has been made.
Section 11.2 Survival/Merger. Except for the provisions of this Agreement which are explicitly stated to survive the Closing, (a) none of the terms of this Agreement shall survive the Closing, and (b) the delivery of the Purchase Price, the Deed and the other Closing Documents and the acceptance thereof shall effect a merger, and be deemed the full performance and discharge of every obligation on the part of Buyer and Seller to be performed hereunder.
Section 11.3 Integration; Waiver. This Agreement, together with the Access Agreement, embodies and constitutes the entire understanding between the parties with respect to the Transaction and all prior agreements, understandings, representations and statements, oral or written, are merged into this Agreement and the Access Agreement. Neither this Agreement nor
34
any provision hereof may be waived, modified, amended, discharged or terminated except by an instrument signed by the party against whom the enforcement of such waiver, modification, amendment, discharge or termination is sought, and then only to the extent set forth in such instrument. No waiver by either party hereto of any failure or refusal by the other party to comply with its obligations hereunder shall be deemed a waiver of any other or subsequent failure or refusal to so comply.
Section 11.4 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the law of the State of Illinois.

ESCROW PROVISIONS
The Deposit and any other sums (including, without limitation, any interest earned thereon) which the parties agree shall be held in escrow (herein collectively called the “Escrow Deposits”), shall be held by the Escrow Agent, in trust, and disposed of only in accordance with the following provisions:
Upon the written request of both Buyer and Seller, the Escrow Agent shall invest the Escrow Deposits in a financial institution money market account (FMMA). Because Escrow Agent is not itself a bank, it may commingle the Escrow Deposits with other escrow deposits in a trust account in order to facilitate placing the Escrow Deposits in a segregated interest bearing account and to disburse the Escrow Deposits once they have been removed from such segregated interest bearing account in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, but shall not otherwise commingle the Escrow Deposits with any funds of the Escrow Agent or others.
Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, if Buyer duly terminates this Agreement at any time prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, Escrow Agent shall deliver the Escrow Deposits to Buyer and Escrow Agent shall notify Seller in the event of such disbursement.
After the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, if for any reason the Closing does not occur and either party makes a written demand upon the Escrow Agent for payment of the Escrow Deposits, the Escrow Agent shall give written notice to the other party of such demand. If the Escrow Agent does not receive a written objection from the other party to the proposed payment within ten (10) days after the giving of such notice, the Escrow Agent is hereby authorized to make such payment to the initially demanding party. If the Escrow Agent receives such written objection within such period, the Escrow Agent shall continue to hold such amount until otherwise directed by written instructions signed by Seller and Buyer or a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.
If the Closing occurs, the Escrow Agent shall deliver the Escrow Deposits to, or upon the instructions of, Seller on the Closing Date.
The parties acknowledge that the Escrow Agent is acting solely as a stakeholder at their request and for their convenience, that the Escrow Agent shall not be deemed to be the agent of either of the parties, and that the Escrow Agent shall not be liable to either of the parties for any action or omission on its part taken or made in good faith, and not in disregard of this Agreement, but shall be liable for any Liabilities (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, expenses and disbursements) incurred by Seller or Buyer resulting from actions or omissions taken or made by the Escrow Agent in bad faith, in disregard of this Agreement or involving gross negligence on the part of the Escrow Agent. Seller and Buyer shall jointly and severally indemnify and hold the Escrow Agent harmless from and against all Liabilities (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, expenses and disbursements) incurred in connection with the performance of the Escrow Agent’s duties hereunder, except with respect
Exhibit C, Page 1
to actions or omissions taken or made by the Escrow Agent in bad faith, in disregard of this Agreement or involving gross negligence on the part of the Escrow Agent.
Buyer shall pay any income taxes on any interest earned on the Escrow Deposits.
Section 6045(e) of the United States Internal Revenue Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder (herein collectively called the “Reporting Requirements”) require an information return to be made to the United States Internal Revenue Service, and a statement to be furnished to Seller, in connection with the Transaction. Escrow Agent is either (x) the person responsible for closing the Transaction (as described in the Reporting Requirements) or (y) the disbursing title or escrow company that is most significant in terms of gross proceeds disbursed in connection with the Transaction (as described in the Reporting Requirements). Accordingly:
(a) Escrow Agent is hereby designated as the “Reporting Person” (as defined in the Reporting Requirements) for the Transaction. Escrow Agent shall perform all duties that are required by the Reporting Requirements to be performed by the Reporting Person for the Transaction.
(b) Seller and Buyer shall furnish to Escrow Agent, in a timely manner, any information requested by Escrow Agent and necessary for Escrow Agent to perform its duties as Reporting Person for the Transaction.
(c) Escrow Agent hereby requests Seller to furnish to Escrow Agent Seller’s correct taxpayer identification number. Seller acknowledges that any failure by Seller to provide Escrow Agent with Seller’s correct taxpayer identification number may subject Seller to civil or criminal penalties imposed by Law. Accordingly, Seller hereby certifies to Escrow Agent, under penalties of perjury, that the correct taxpayer identification number for 213 W Institute Owner LLC is 61-1753186 and the correct taxpayer identification number for 218-224 W Chicago Owner LLC is 30-0869609.
8. Each of the parties hereto shall retain this Agreement for a period of four (4) years following the calendar year during which Closing occurs.
9. The Escrow Agent shall be entitled to rely upon the authenticity of any signature and the genuineness and validity of any writing received by Escrow Agent relating to this Escrow Agreement. Escrow Agent may rely upon any oral identification of a party notifying Escrow Agent orally as to matters relating to this Agreement if such oral notification is permitted hereunder. Escrow Agent is not responsible for the nature, content, validity or enforceability of any of the escrow documents except for those documents prepared by Escrow Agent.
10. In the event of any disagreement between the parties hereto resulting in conflicting instructions to, or adverse claims or demands upon the Escrow Agent with respect to the release of the escrow funds or the escrow documents, the Escrow Agent may refuse to comply with any such instruction, claim or demand so long as such disagreement shall continue and in so refusing the Escrow Agent shall not release the escrow funds or the escrow documents. The Escrow Agent shall not be, or become liable in any way for its failure or refusal to comply with any such conflicting instructions or adverse claims or demands and it shall be entitled to continue to refrain from acting until such conflicting instructions or adverse claims or demands (a) shall have been adjusted by agreement and it shall have been notified in writing thereof by
Exhibit C, Page 2
the parties hereto or (b) shall have finally been determined in a court of competent jurisdiction. Buyer and Seller further agree to indemnify Escrow Agent against any and all loss, costs or damages, including attorney’s fees, incurred by Escrow Agent in its performance of its duties, because of any such disputes or disagreements.
11. The Escrow Agent may at its sole discretion resign by giving (30) days written notice thereof to the parties hereto. The parties shall furnish to the Escrow Agent written instructions for the release of the escrow funds and escrow documents. If the Escrow Agent shall not have received such written instructions within the thirty (30) days, the Escrow Agent may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Escrow Agent and upon such appointment deliver the escrow funds and escrow documents to such successor.
12. Costs and fees incurred by or owing to the Escrow Agent may, at the option of the Escrow Agent, be deducted from any funds held pursuant hereto.
13. The parties hereto do hereby certify that they are aware that the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) coverages apply only to a cumulative maximum amount of $250,000 for each individual deposit for all of the depositor’s accounts at the same or related institution. The parties hereto further understand that certain banking instruments such as, but not limited to, repurchase agreements and letters of credit are not covered at all by FDIC insurance. Further the parties hereto understand that Escrow Agent assumes no responsibility for, nor will the parties hereto hold Escrow Agent liable for, a loss occurring which arises from the fact that the amount of the above account may cause the aggregate amount of any individual depositor’s accounts to exceed $250,000 and that the excess amount is not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or that FDIC insurance is not available on certain types of bank instruments.
14. The provisions of this Exhibit C shall survive the Closing (and not be merged therein) or earlier termination of this Agreement.

FORM OF FIRPTA AFFIDAVIT
Section 1445 of the Internal Revenue Code provides that a transferee of a United States real property interest must withhold tax if the transferor is a foreign person. For U.S. tax purposes (including Section 1445), the owner of a disregarded entity (which has legal title to a U.S. real property interest under local law) will be the transferor of the property and not the disregarded entity.

ESCROW HOLDBACK AGREEMENT
[See attached]
EXHIBIT Q, Page 1
HOLDBACK ESCROW AGREEMENT
THIS HOLDBACK ESCROW AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made as of
, 2017 (the “Effective Date”), by and among 213 W INSTITUTE OWNER LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Institute Owner”) and 218-224 W CHICAGO OWNER LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Chicago Owner” and, collectively with Institute Owner, “Seller”) and , a Delaware limited liability company (together with its successors and permitted assigns, collectively, “Buyer”) and COMMONWEALTH LAND TITLE INSURANCE COMPANY (“Escrow Agent”).
PRELIMINARY STATEMENT
A.WHEREAS, Seller and KBS Capital Advisors LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Original Buyer”), are parties to that certain Purchase and Sale Agreement dated as of August , 2017, as the same was assigned by Original Buyer to Buyer pursuant to that certain Assignment and Assumption of Purchase and Sale Agreement dated , 2017 (collectively, as the same may be amended and assigned, the “Purchase Agreement”). All terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning assigned to them in the Purchase Agreement.
B.Seller has agreed to sell and Buyer has agreed to purchase the Property, on the terms and conditions stated in the Purchase Agreement. Pursuant to Section 7.3.3 of the Purchase Agreement, at Closing, a portion of the Purchase Price otherwise payable to Seller in an amount equal to Six Hundred Fifty-Two Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($652,500) (together with any interest accrued thereon from and after the date hereof, the “Holdback Amount”) shall be retained by Escrow Agent in escrow as security for any losses incurred by Buyer as the result of a breach of Seller’s Warranties, or any of the covenants of Seller that survive the Closing as set forth in the Purchase Agreement, during Seller’s Warranty Survival Period, which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not include any amounts owed by Seller to the DOR that are disclosed in any release letters or certificates received from the DOR (which will be deposited into a separate escrow account established by Escrow Agent and Seller, if and as applicable). Buyer and Seller now desire to enter into an agreement with Escrow Agent with respect to said Holdback Amount.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants set forth in this Agreement and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1. Creation of Escrow. Escrow Agent hereby acknowledges receipt and acceptance of the Holdback Amount and Buyer and Seller hereby request Escrow Agent, and Escrow Agent hereby agrees, to hold same in escrow pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth herein. Escrow Agent hereby agrees and acknowledges that it has received and reviewed a copy of the Purchase Agreement.
2. Administration of Escrow.
(a) To the extent that Buyer has a claim for reimbursement from Seller pursuant to the terms of Section 7.3.3 of the Purchase Agreement or any of the covenants of Seller that survive the Closing as set forth in the Purchase Agreement (collectively, the “Seller’s Post Closing Obligations”), Buyer shall send a written notice of any such claim simultaneously to Seller and Escrow Agent (a “Claim Notice”) confirming that Buyer is entitled to payment in the amount set forth in such Claim Notice and demanding that some or all of the Holdback Amount (the “Amount Demanded”) be delivered to it in payment thereof. Upon receipt thereof, Escrow Agent shall promptly indicate to all parties the date of receipt of the Claim Notice. Escrow Agent shall promptly deliver the Amount Demanded to Buyer if Seller does not, within five (5) business days of Seller’s receipt of the Claim Notice, simultaneously deliver to Escrow Agent and Buyer written notice stating that Buyer is not entitled to the Amount Demanded and setting forth the nature and grounds for the objection. In such case, Escrow Agent is hereby directed to continue to hold the Amount Demanded until directed otherwise by either a joint direction from Buyer and Seller or a court order.
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties acknowledge that pursuant to the terms of Section 7.3.3 of the Purchase Agreement, Seller has no liability to Buyer for any claims unless or until Buyer’s claim(s) exceed Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars ($25,000) in the aggregate. At such time as Buyer sends its first Claim Notice, Buyer shall provide appropriate information as to any and all claims making up such Twenty-Five Thousand Dollar ($25,000) minimum.
(c) Starting from the first business day immediately following the date that is one hundred eighty (180) days after the Effective Date (the “Outside Date”), Buyer shall have no further right to any further payments from the Holdback Amount, except to the extent that any Claim Notice submitted prior to the Outside Date remains unresolved, in which event a portion of the Holdback Amount in an amount equal to one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the Amount Demanded in such Claim Notice shall remain in escrow and continue to be available for payment to Buyer if applicable upon resolution of such claim. Except as set forth in the immediately foregoing sentence, on the Outside Date, Escrow Agent shall disburse the balance of the Holdback Amount to Seller by wire transfer of immediately available federal funds in accordance with wiring instructions to be provided by Seller.
3. Investment of Holdback Amount. Escrow Agent is hereby directed to the fullest extent possible to invest the Holdback Amount in U.S. Treasury Bills, certificates of deposit or such other interest bearing accounts or securities as Seller may direct. Escrow Agent shall not be held responsible for any loss of principal or interest which may be incurred as a result of making the investments or redeeming said investment for the purposes of this escrow. All interest earned on the Holdback Amount shall be retained in escrow in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and shall constitute part of the Holdback Amount. Seller shall be solely responsible for any taxes payable in connection with any interest earned or accrued on the Holdback Amount.
4. Notices. Any notice, communication, request, reply or advice (collectively, “Notice”) provided for or permitted by this Agreement to be made or accepted by either party
2
must be in writing. Notice shall be given or served by delivery by overnight courier or by E- Mail. Notice by overnight courier shall be effective one business day after deposit with the courier service. Notice given by E-Mail shall be effective on the business date delivered, provided that such notice is also sent concurrently by overnight courier. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Notice received after 5:00 p.m. local time of the recipient shall be deemed to have been delivered the following business day. For the purposes of Notice, the addresses of the parties shall be:
