                                   ARTICLE II

                                  PURCHASE PRICE

 

        2.1      PRICE. In consideration of the covenants herein contained,

Seller hereby agrees to sell and Purchaser hereby agrees to purchase the

Property for an aggregate total purchase price for all of the Property of

$33,250,000.00 (the "PURCHASE PRICE"). Seller and Purchaser agree that the

as follows:

 

         2.2      DEPOSIT. Within three (3) business days after the Effective Date

of this Agreement, Purchaser will deliver to Escrow Agent by bank wire of

immediately available funds the sum of $1,250,000.00 (the "DEPOSIT"), which

Deposit shall be fully earned by Seller and non-refundable except only as

expressly provided in SECTION 5.4 or SECTION 10.2, Article XII and for failure

of a condition under SECTION 3.1 or SECTION 3.3. Seller and Purchaser stipulate

that Purchaser's delivery of the Deposit is sufficient consideration to support

this Agreement.

 

        2.3      BALANCE OF PURCHASE PRICE. Purchaser shall, not later than 3:00

p.m. Eastern Time on the date of Closing, deliver to Escrow Agent, by bank wire

transfer of immediately available funds, a sum equal to the balance of the

                (3)      an interest-bearing account of a banking institution

        whose principal office is in New York, N.Y. with assets in excess of $1

        billion.

 

No investment of the Deposit shall have a maturity date beyond the Final Closing

Date (as defined in SECTION 6.1).

 

        2.5      INTEREST ON THE DEPOSIT. Any interest earned on the Deposit

shall be credited and delivered to the party receiving the Deposit, PROVIDED,

HOWEVER, that if the transaction closes, at

 

 

                                       2

<PAGE>

 

Closing any interest earned on the Deposit shall be credited to Purchaser by

applying the same against the Purchase Price.

 

                                  ARTICLE III

                     CONDITIONS TO THE PARTIES' OBLIGATIONS

 

        3.1      CONDITIONS TO PURCHASER'S OBLIGATION TO PURCHASE. Purchaser's

obligation to purchase is expressly conditioned upon each of the following:

 

        3.2      PERFORMANCE BY SELLER. Performance in all material respects of

the obligations and covenants of, and deliveries required of, Seller hereunder.

 

                3.2.1    DELIVERY OF TITLE AND POSSESSION. Delivery at the

        Closing of (I) the Deed (as defined in SECTION 4.2.1) and (II)

        possession as provided in SECTION 15.1.

 

                3.2.2    TITLE INSURANCE. Delivery at the Closing of the standard

        current form of Texas 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 Stewart Title Guaranty

        Company (the "TITLE COMPANY"), insuring that fee title to the Real

        Property vests in Purchaser subject to the Permitted Encumbrances (as

        defined in SECTION 4.2.1). (At its option, Purchaser may direct the

        Title Company to issue additional title insurance endorsements if

        Purchaser pays for the extra cost of such additional endorsements,

        provided that the Title Company's failure to issue any such additional

        endorsements shall not affect Purchaser's obligations under this

        Agreement).

 

                3.2.3    SELLER'S REPRESENTATIONS. The representations and

        warranties by Seller set forth in SECTION 11.1 being true and correct in

        all material respects as of the Closing except as modified by notice (in

        accordance with SECTION 11.1) to which Purchaser does not object in

        writing within three (3) business days after receipt thereof (it being

        agreed that the foregoing condition shall be deemed to have failed if

        Seller delivers a notice in accordance with SECTION 11.1 and Purchaser

        sends written objection thereto within such three (3) business day

        period).

 

                3.2.4    TENANT ESTOPPELS. Seller shall have obtained and

        delivered to Purchaser, at least five (5) business days prior to the

        Final Closing Date (the "ESTOPPEL RETURN DATE"), a tenant estoppel

        certificate with respect to each Lease executed by each tenant (and, if

        applicable, each guarantor) under such Lease, which estoppel certificate

        shall (i) be in the form of EXHIBIT E attached hereto, provided,

        however, that the form of tenant estoppel certificate shall reflect

        appropriate changes thereto for any tenant that has specific

        requirements in its Lease regarding the form or content of the tenant

        estoppel certificate; and (ii) disclose no matter that might materially

        and adversely affect the value of the Property and shall confirm the

        rents payable by such tenant and the other matters set forth in EXHIBIT

        E (the foregoing condition being herein referred to as the "TENANT

        ESTOPPEL CONDITION"). The term "materially and adversely affect the

        value of the Property" shall be deemed to be a condition that affects

        the value in an amount that exceeds $75,000.00, provided, however, that

        if Seller elects in its sole discretion, to provide Purchaser at Closing

        with a credit against the Purchase Price or with other

 

 

                                       3

<PAGE>

 

         security that is reasonably acceptable to Purchaser for such condition

        then such estoppel certificate shall be accepted by Purchaser

        notwithstanding such condition. An executed tenant estoppel certificate

        that meets the requirements set forth in the preceding sentence is

        herein referred to as a "TENANT ESTOPPEL". Seller shall use commercially

        reasonable efforts to obtain a Tenant Estoppel with respect to each

        Lease. Seller shall deliver each Tenant Estoppel to Purchaser

        (regardless of whether it complies with this Agreement) promptly

        following Seller's receipt thereof. In the event that Seller is unable

        to satisfy the Tenant Estoppel Condition by the Estoppel Return Date,

        Seller shall not be in default under this Agreement. However, if the

        Tenant Estoppel Condition is not fulfilled as of the Estoppel Return

        Date, then, for three (3) business days thereafter, Purchaser shall have

        the option either to (a) waive the Tenant Estoppel Condition, (b) extend

        the Final Closing Date for up to fourteen (14) days to allow Seller more

        time to obtain additional Tenant Estoppels; or (c) terminate this

        Agreement, in which event the Deposit shall be returned to Purchaser. If

        Purchaser elects to extend the Final Closing Date pursuant to clause (b)

        of the preceding sentence and the Tenant Estoppel Condition is still not

        fulfilled on or before the expiration of the fourteen (14) day extension

        period, then Purchaser may elect one of the options set forth in clauses

        (a) and (c) of the preceding sentence.

 

        3.3      CONDITIONS TO SELLER'S OBLIGATION TO SELL. Seller's obligation

to sell is expressly conditioned upon each of the following:

 

                3.3.1    PERFORMANCE BY PURCHASER. Performance in all material

        respects of the obligations and covenants of, and deliveries required

        of, Purchaser hereunder.

 

                3.3.2    RECEIPT OF PURCHASE PRICE. Receipt of the Purchase Price

        and any adjustments due Seller under ARTICLE VII at the Closing in the

        manner herein provided.

 

        3.4      ERISA. Seller and Purchaser hereby agree that if the

transactions contemplated hereby are or may be prohibited transactions under

Section 406 of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended

and supplemented ("ERISA"), Seller shall not be obligated to sell, and Purchaser

shall not be obligated to purchase, the Property pursuant to this Agreement.

Within five (5) business days after the Effective Date, the parties shall agree

in writing to the form of representations as is necessary in order for each

party to determine whether the transaction contemplated hereby may be prohibited

under ERISA and related rules, which agreed upon representations without

amendment to the Agreement shall be deemed to be added to this Agreement If

either party determines, in its reasonable discretion, that the transaction

contemplated hereby may be prohibited under ERISA and related rules, then either

party may terminate this Agreement by written notice thereof to the other party

no later seven (7) business days after the Effective Date, and upon such

termination the Deposit shall be returned to Purchaser and neither party shall

thereafter have any further liability or obligations hereunder, except for those

obligations stated herein to survive such termination.

        limitation: (I) all real property taxes and assessments on the basis of

        the fiscal period for which assessed (if the Closing shall occur before

        the tax rate is fixed, the apportionment of taxes shall be based on the

        tax rate for the preceding period applied to the latest assessed

        valuation and after the Closing, when the actual real property taxes are

        finally fixed, Seller and Purchaser shall promptly make a recalculation

        of such proration, and the appropriate party shall make the applicable

        payment reflecting the recalculation to the other party); (II) rents and

        other tenant payments and tenant reimbursements (collectively, "TENANT

        not be prorated; (v) amounts prepaid and amounts accrued but unpaid on

        Contracts which are to be assumed by Purchaser; and (vi) periodic fees

        or reimburse Seller for all leasing commissions, tenant improvement

                7.1.3    TAXES.

 

                        (1)      Real property tax refunds and credits received

                after the Closing which are attributable to a fiscal tax year

                prior to the Closing shall belong to Seller. Any such refunds

                and credits attributable to the fiscal tax year during which the

                Closing occurs shall be apportioned between Seller and Purchaser

                after deducting the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of

                collection thereof. This apportionment obligation shall survive

                the Closing.

 

                        (2)      If any tax appeal or certiorari proceedings

                shall not have been finally resolved or settled prior to the

                Closing and shall relate to any tax period a

 

 

                                        10

<PAGE>

 

                portion or all of which precedes the Closing, Seller shall be

                entitled to control the disposition of any such tax appeal or

                certiorari proceeding and any refunds received therefrom, net of

                any expenses incurred by Seller in connection therewith, shall

                be prorated between the parties on the basis of the portions

                accruing to periods before and after the Closing.

 

                 7.1.4    SECURITY AND OTHER DEPOSITS. At the Closing, Seller

        the Leases and Purchaser shall pay Seller an amount equal to all utility

        and contract deposits then held by third parties with respect to the

        Property and transferred to Purchaser hereunder. If any security

        deposits shall be held by Seller in the form of letters of credit or

        surety bonds, Seller shall assign its rights thereunder to Purchaser and

        shall cooperate reasonably with Purchaser in respect of the reissuance

        of any such letters of credit or bonds in the name of Purchaser.

 

                7.1.5    ADJUSTMENTS.

 

                        (1)      Delinquent Tenant Payments other than such

                amounts prorated pursuant to SECTION 7.1.1 (III), if any, shall

                not be prorated and all rights thereto shall be retained by

                Seller, who reserves the right to collect and retain such

                delinquent Tenant Payments, and Purchaser agrees to cooperate

                 with Seller in Seller's efforts to collect such Tenant Payments;

                PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that Seller shall not be entitled to commence

                any disposition or eviction proceeding against the delinquent

                tenant. If at any time after the Closing Purchaser shall receive

                any such delinquent Tenant Payments (all of which Purchaser

                shall use reasonable efforts to obtain), Purchaser shall

                immediately remit such Tenant Payments to Seller, provided that

                any monies received by Purchaser from a delinquent tenant shall

                be applied first to current rents then due and payable and then

                to delinquent rents in the inverse order in which they became

                due and payable. The previous sentence shall survive the

                Closing. If the Tenant Payments required to be made by any

                tenants include percentage rent, additional rent or escalation

                charges or reimbursements for real property taxes, operating

                expenses or other charges, Seller and Purchaser shall at the

                Closing reasonably estimate the unpaid amount thereof

                attributable to any period prior to the Closing and Purchaser

                shall pay such amount to Seller at the Closing.

 

                        (2)      If real property taxes are apportioned at

                Closing based on the tax rate for the preceding period applied

                 to the latest assessed valuation (or based on such other

                estimate as the parties may agree) and if prior to December 1,

                2005, actual or better estimates of tax rates and assessed

                valuation become available, the parties agree to reapportion

                such real property taxes based on such updated information. If

                neither Seller nor Purchaser has received written request from

                the other prior to such date, to reapportion such real property

                taxes, then Purchaser and Seller shall each be deemed to have

                waived any right to seek such reapportionment.

 

 

                                       11

<PAGE>

 

                        (3)      Seller and Purchaser agree to adjust between

                themselves after Closing any errors or omissions in the

                prorations made at Closing; provided, however, that such

                prorations shall be deemed final and not subject to further post

                Closing adjustments if no such adjustments have been requested

                within nine (9) months after the Closing.

 

                7.1.6    INSURANCE. Seller's existing liability and property

        insurance pertaining to the Property shall be canceled as of the

        credited the sum of $24,676.79 against any sums owed by Seller under

        this Agreement in reimbursement of the new lobby carpet in Landmark

        Center II so long as the tenant estoppel received by Purchaser at

        Closing confirms tenant's obligation to pay such sum in the future to

        Purchaser as the successor landlord. If such tenant shall not so confirm

        such payment obligation in the estoppel certificate, Seller shall have

        the continuing right after Closing to pursue such tenant for such

        reimbursement directly, provided that Seller shall not have the right to

        assert that tenant's failure to pay such amount can result in a loss of

        possession of the premises by tenant.

 

                7.1.8    TRANSFER OF WARRANTIES. Seller agrees to complete any

        documentation that may be required by a warrantor in order to consummate

        an assignment to Purchaser of any warranties included in the Property

        and to pay the cost of any fee required to transfer any such warranty.

 

        7.2      SELLER'S CLOSING COSTS. Seller shall pay (i)) one-half of Escrow

Agent's escrow fee or escrow termination charge, (ii) the cost of the Title

Report and the basic premium for the Title Policy, (iii) the cost of the Survey,

and (IV) Seller's own attorneys' fees.

ordered by Purchaser in respect of the Title Policy, (IV) the cost of any new

survey of the Property or any update of the Survey, (V) any costs incurred in

connection with Purchaser's investigation of the Property pursuant to ARTICLE V,

either party instructing Escrow Agent to deliver the Deposit to such party,

Escrow Agent shall deliver a copy of the notice to the other party within three

(3) business days after receipt of the notice. If the other party does not

object to the delivery of the Deposit as set forth in the notice within three

(3) business days after receipt of the copy of the notice, Escrow Agent shall,

and is hereby authorized to, deliver the Deposit to the party requesting it

pursuant to the notice. Any objection hereunder shall be by notice setting forth

the nature and grounds for the objection and shall be sent to Escrow Agent and

to the party requesting the Deposit.

 

        9.5      NO EFFECT ON RIGHTS OF PARTIES; SURVIVAL. The return of

documents and monies as set forth above shall not affect the right of either

under this ARTICLE IX shall survive termination of this Agreement.

 

                                   ARTICLE X

                                      DEFAULT

 

        10.1     SELLER'S REMEDIES. If, for any reason whatsoever (other than the

failure of a condition set forth in SECTION 3.1 or SECTION 3.3 and other than a

termination of this Agreement pursuant to, SECTION 10.2 or ARTICLE XII),

Purchaser fails to complete the acquisition as herein provided, Purchaser shall

its sole and exclusive remedy, to retain the Deposit and Seller shall be

released from any further obligations hereunder. BY INITIALING BELOW, PURCHASER

AND SELLER HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT SELLER'S ACTUAL DAMAGES IN THE

EVENT OF SUCH A BREACH OF THIS AGREEMENT BY PURCHASER WOULD BE EXTREMELY

DIFFICULT OR IMPOSSIBLE TO DETERMINE, THAT THE AMOUNT OF THE DEPOSIT IS THE

PARTIES' BEST AND MOST ACCURATE ESTIMATE OF THE DAMAGES SELLER WOULD SUFFER IN

THE EVENT THE TRANSACTION PROVIDED FOR IN THIS AGREEMENT FAILS TO CLOSE, AND

THAT SUCH ESTIMATE IS REASONABLE UNDER THE CIRCUMSTANCES EXISTING ON THE DATE OF

THIS AGREEMENT. PURCHASER AND SELLER AGREE THAT SELLER'S RIGHT TO RETAIN THE

DEPOSIT SHALL BE THE SOLE REMEDY OF SELLER AT LAW IN THE EVENT OF SUCH A BREACH

OF THIS AGREEMENT BY PURCHASER. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY

CONTAINED IN THIS SECTION 10.1, IF PURCHASER BRINGS AN ACTION AGAINST SELLER FOR

AN ALLEGED BREACH OR DEFAULT BY SELLER OF ITS OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT,

RECORDS A LIS PENDENS OR OTHERWISE ENJOINS OR RESTRICTS SELLER'S ABILITY TO SELL

AND TRANSFER THE PROPERTY OR REFUSES TO CONSENT TO OR INSTRUCT RELEASE OF THE

DEPOSIT TO SELLER IF REQUIRED BY ESCROW AGENT (EACH A "PURCHASER'S ACTION"),

SELLER SHALL NOT BE RESTRICTED BY THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION 10.1 FROM

BRINGING AN ACTION AGAINST PURCHASER SEEKING EXPUNGEMENT OR RELIEF FROM ANY

IMPROPERLY FILED LIS PENDENS, INJUNCTION OR OTHER RESTRAINT, AND/OR RECOVERING

FEES, COSTS AND EXPENSES (INCLUDING ATTORNEYS' FEES) WHICH SELLER MAY SUFFER OR

INCUR AS A RESULT OF ANY PURCHASER'S ACTION BUT ONLY TO THE EXTENT THAT SELLER

IS THE PREVAILING PARTY; AND THE AMOUNT OF ANY SUCH FEES, COSTS AND EXPENSES

AWARDED TO SELLER SHALL BE IN ADDITION TO THE LIQUIDATED DAMAGES SET FORTH

HEREIN. NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT SHALL, HOWEVER, BE DEEMED TO LIMIT PURCHASER'S

LIABILITY TO SELLER FOR DAMAGES OR INJUNCTIVE RELIEF FOR BREACH OF PURCHASER'S

INDEMNITY OBLIGATIONS UNDER SECTION 5.2.5 ABOVE OR FOR ATTORNEYS' FEES AND COSTS

AS PROVIDED IN SECTION 16.5 BELOW.

 

                              ACCEPTED AND AGREED TO:

 

 

        ----------------------                     ----------------------

                Seller                                   Purchaser

 

        10.2     PURCHASER'S REMEDIES. If the sale is not completed as herein

provided solely by reason of a default of Seller, Purchaser shall be entitled,

as its sole and exclusive remedy, to either (i) (a) terminate this Agreement (by

delivering notice to Seller which includes a waiver of any right, title or

interest of Purchaser in the Property) and (b) if Purchaser so elects, pursue an

action at law for recovery of Purchaser's actual out-of-pocket third-party costs

incurred as part of Purchaser's due diligence efforts hereunder, subject to a

cap of $25,000, which action must be

commenced, if at all, within the thirty (30) day period following the occurrence

of such material default of Seller (the "LIMITATION PERIOD"); or (ii) treat this

Agreement as being in full force and effect and pursue only the specific

performance of this Agreement, provided that Purchaser must commence any action

for specific performance within thirty (30) days after the scheduled Final

Closing Date. Purchaser waives any right to pursue any other remedy at law or

equity for such default of Seller, including, without limitation, any right to

seek, claim or obtain damages (other than for costs under (i) (b) above),

punitive damages or consequential damages. In no case shall Seller ever be

liable to Purchaser under any statutory, common law, equitable or other theory

of law, either prior to or following the Closing, for any lost rents, profits,

"benefit of the bargain," business opportunities or any form of consequential

damage in connection with any claim, liability, demand or cause of action in any

way or manner relating to the Property, the condition of the Property, this

Agreement, or any transaction or matter between the parties contemplated

hereunder. Purchaser's remedies hereunder are in addition to the right to

receive the return of the Deposit, subject to Section 9.4, to the extent it is

not applied to the Purchase Price in connection with Purchaser's action for

specific performance.

true and correct. If Seller has actual knowledge that any of the representations

and warranties contained in this ARTICLE XI may cease to be true, Seller shall

give prompt notice to Purchaser (which notice shall include copies of the

instrument, correspondence, or document, if any, upon which Seller's notice is

based). As used in this SECTION 11.1, the phrase "to the extent of Seller's

actual knowledge" shall mean, in this Agreement and any other instruments

executed by Seller, the actual knowledge of Celia Deluga, the asset manager of

Advisor responsible for the Property (the "PROPERTY Manager(s)"). There shall be

no duty imposed or implied to investigate, inquire, inspect, or audit any such

matters, and there shall be no personal liability on the part of such Property

Manager(s). To the extent Purchaser has or acquires actual knowledge or is

deemed to know prior to the date of this Agreement that these representations

and warranties are inaccurate, untrue or incorrect in any way, such

representations and warranties shall be deemed modified to reflect Purchaser's

knowledge or deemed knowledge. Purchaser sha
