The provisions of this Section 3(b)(ii) shall survive Settlement and recording of the applicable deed and/or assignment agreement or earlier termination of this Agreement.

(iii)  Seller’s Right to Terminate . Except as set forth in Section 11, if any Property is deemed or treated as a Removed Property and the Purchase Price for all remaining Properties is thereby reduced to an amount equal to eighty-five percent (85%) or less of the original Purchase Price for all Properties, Seller may terminate this Agreement by providing written notice to Buyer and (a) the Deposit shall be returned to Buyer, (b) Buyer and Seller shall each be liable for one half of any escrow fees or charges, (c) Buyer shall return all items relating to the Property previously delivered by Seller to Buyer (without representation or warranty of any kind, express or implied) within thirty (30) days of Seller’s written notice referenced above, and (d) all of Seller’s and Buyer’s rights, liabilities, obligations, representations and warranties under this Agreement shall be void and of no further force and effect, except for any indemnity obligations of any Party expressly stated in this Agreement to survive termination of this Agreement. The provisions of this Section 3(b)(iii) shall survive termination of this Agreement.

(c)  Satisfaction of Subdivision Condition. If the Subdivision Condition is not satisfied prior to the Closing Date with respect to any Property and provided that Seller does not exercise its extension right set forth in Section 6(k), Buyer may elect, in its sole and absolute discretion to exclude and deem any Property not properly subdivided pursuant to the terms of this Agreement as a Removed Property by providing notice thereof to Seller on or prior to the Closing Date.

4.  Due Diligence Period; Condition of Title .

(a) Buyer shall have a period of time from June 12, 2009 through August 14, 2009 (such period, as extended pursuant to the below, the “ Due Diligence Period ”) to (i) conduct due diligence investigations and analysis of the Property and all information pertaining to the Property and (ii) agree to the list of Excluded Personal Property for the Properties indentified on Exhibit “B” as “TBD During Due Diligence Period” and (iii) agree to definitive agreements evidencing the Estoppel Certificates defined in Section 6(e), a ground lease between Buyer and Seller for each Ground Lease Property (each, a “ Ground Lease ”), a space lease between Buyer, as landlord, and Seller and the “Endowment Fund” (as hereinafter defined), as tenant (each of which shall be for the square footage and contain the basic terms and conditions more particularly described on Exhibit “F” attached hereto) for each building located on the Properties (i.e., one Space Lease for each building) (each, a “ Space Lease ”), “ REAs ” (as hereinafter defined) for each Property, as applicable, “Property Management Agreements” (as hereinafter defined) for each Property, the “ ROFR Agreement ” (as hereinafter defined), the “ Tenant Improvement Agreement ” (as hereinafter defined) and the “ Future Development Agreement ” (as hereinafter defined) (collectively, the “ Primary Closing Documents . If Buyer determines in its sole and absolute discretion that it does not desire to acquire the Property for any reason or no reason and notifies Seller by 8:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time or Eastern Daylight Time (as then currently applicable) on the last day of the Due Diligence Period (as extended, if applicable) of its election to terminate this Agreement, the Deposit shall be immediately returned to Buyer, this Agreement thereupon shall become void and there shall be no further obligation or liability on any of the Parties, except as otherwise specifically provided herein, and Buyer promptly shall return to Seller, without retaining any copies thereof, the Title Commitment, the Surveys, all copies of the Leases, the Service Contracts and Seller’s Materials (as defined below) and shall deliver to Seller copies of all studies and reports relating to the Property obtained by Buyer other than proprietary information of Buyer. Buyer’s failure to deliver notice to Seller of its election to terminate this Agreement prior to 8:00 p.m. EST/EDT on the last day of the Due Diligence Period shall obligate Buyer to complete Settlement under this Agreement except with respect to the Removed Properties, if any. If Buyer shall identify a material defect with respect to one or more of the Properties during the Due Diligence Period, then Buyer shall have the right to terminate this Agreement (as set forth above) or exclude and deem any such Property a Removed Property by providing notice thereof to Seller prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period. Seller agrees to cooperate and work in good faith with Buyer to help ensure that all of Buyer’s due diligence review, as well as a final agreement with respect to all Primary Closing Documents, is completed prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period.

(b) At reasonable times following reasonable notice and prior to the end of the Due Diligence Period, Buyer, its accountants, architects, attorneys, engineers, contractors and other representatives shall be afforded reasonable access as follows (collectively, “ Buyer’s Access Rights ”):

(i) to the Property to, at Buyer’s sole expense, inspect, measure, appraise, test and make surveys of (including, without limitation, feasibility, environmental, engineering and physical inspections of the Property) the Property; provided, however, that Buyer shall be obligated to obtain Seller’s prior approval for the performance of any invasive or intrusive environmental testing. Buyer’s written request to Seller therefor must be accompanied by a summary of the proposed scope of work;

(ii) to the Real Properties in order to conduct Tenant interviews, provided, however, that Buyer shall not communicate with any Tenants under the Leases, except with Seller’s prior written consent, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, and at Seller’s election, with Seller being present at the time of such communication. In the event of such consent, Buyer shall not disclose any of the terms and conditions of this transaction to such Tenants; and

(iii) to the records and files relating to the Property, and at Buyer’s expense, to make copies of such records and files; provided, however, that Buyer shall return all copies of such records and files if this Agreement is terminated or if Settlement does not occur under this Agreement (Items 4(b)(i), 4(b)(ii), and 4(b)(iii) collectively, the “ Inspections ”).

Buyer agrees to promptly discharge any liens that may be imposed against the Properties as a result of Buyer’s Inspections and to defend, indemnify and hold Seller harmless from all claims, suits, losses, costs, expenses (including without limitation court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees), liabilities, judgments and damages (collectively, “ Claims ”) incurred by any Seller as a result of any Inspections performed by Buyer; provided, however, that Buyer shall not be responsible for any Claims arising out of any obligations and liabilities of any Seller, including, without limitation, Claims arising out of Buyer’s discovery of a pre-existing condition at any Property, including, without limitation, reporting any such condition to the appropriate authorities if required to do so by law, and Seller shall be solely responsible for any Claims arising out of Buyer’s discovery of such pre-existing condition at any Property, and for compliance with any reporting obligation that arises from such discovery. Buyer shall not interfere unreasonably with the operation of the Property and shall coordinate all of Buyer’s activities under this Section with Seller to minimize possible interference with the Property or its operation. Buyer shall restore any area on the Property disturbed in the course of Buyer’s testing to the condition existing prior to any tests conducted by Buyer. Prior to making any entry upon the Property, Buyer will deliver to Seller an insurance certificate naming Seller as the certificate holder, evidencing a minimum of $5,000,000.00 of commercial general liability insurance and naming Seller as additional insured thereunder. Such certificate shall state that the insurance coverage may not be canceled or modified except upon thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Seller. Buyer agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold Seller harmless from and against any claim made against Seller as a result of any entry upon the Property and any activities conducted thereon by Buyer or on behalf of Buyer except to the extent caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Seller or Excluded Liabilities. The foregoing indemnification obligation of Buyer shall survive Settlement and shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

(c) After the end of the Due Diligence Period, at reasonable times following reasonable notice and with the express consent of Seller, Buyer’s Access Rights shall continue provided that, except as otherwise provided herein, Buyer shall not have the right to terminate this Agreement or exclude and deem any Property a Removed Property as a result of the Inspections or any other information obtained through Buyer’s Access Rights after the end of the Due Diligence Period.

(d) Within ten (10) business days after the Effective Date, to the extent not previously delivered to Buyer and to the extent in the possession and control of the Seller, Seller shall deliver to Buyer all Plans, Permits, Warranties, Reports, copies of all leasing and brokerage agreements, a rent roll pertaining to the Real Properties dated no earlier than thirty (30) days prior to the Effective Date (the “ Rent Roll ”), an aged receivables report regarding income from the Leases, all other items listed on Exhibit “G” attached hereto and such other items or information relating to the Property as are specifically requested by Buyer of Seller in writing during the Due Diligence Period to the extent such information is in the possession or control of Seller (collectively, the “ Seller’s Materials ”). Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, Seller makes no representations as to the accuracy of the information contained in Seller’s Materials. Buyer shall keep Seller’s Materials and all information obtained by Buyer as part of its due diligence review of the Property (“ Buyer’s Materials ”) confidential and, except as may otherwise be required by law, shall not share any of the foregoing with anyone other than Buyer’s directors, officers, employees, outside counsel, accounting firm and other professional consultants (all of whom are collectively referred to as the “ Related Parties ”) who, in Buyer’s judgment, need to know such information for evaluating a possible purchase of the Property. The Related Parties shall be informed by Buyer of the confidential nature of the Seller’s Materials and the Buyer’s Materials and shall be directed by Buyer to keep same in the strictest confidence.

(e) On or before the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, Buyer may deliver a written notice to Seller (the “ Contracts Notice ”) identifying those service contracts, vending machine, telecommunications and other facilities leases, utility contracts, maintenance contracts, management contracts, leasing contracts, equipment leases, brokerage and leasing commission agreements and other agreements or rights specific to an individual Property and related to the construction, ownership, use, operation, occupancy, maintenance, repair or development of such Property (collectively, the “ Service Contracts ”) listed on Exhibit “H” that Seller shall assign to Buyer and that Buyer shall assume as of the Closing Date (such designated Service Contracts shall be collectively referred to herein as the “ Assigned Contracts ”); provided that the Assigned Contracts shall not include contracts for services to be provided by GHS under any shared services arrangements governed by the REAs or PMAs. All Service Contracts that are not Assigned Contracts (the “ Terminated Contracts ”) shall be terminated as of the Closing Date by Seller whereupon the Terminated Contracts shall not be assigned to, or assumed by, Buyer. To the extent that any Terminated Contracts require payment of a penalty or premium for cancellation, Seller shall be solely responsible for the payment of any such cancellation fees or penalties. If Buyer fails to deliver the Contracts Notice on or before the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, there shall be no Terminated Contracts and Buyer shall assume all of the Service Contracts listed on Exhibit “H” on the Closing Date. With respect to each Assigned Contract, Seller shall use best efforts to provide Buyer with a certificate of insurance from each vendor thereunder at Settlement naming Buyer and Buyer’s property manager as an additional insured in a form reasonably acceptable to Buyer.

(f) On or prior to July 15, 2009 (“ Title Delivery Date ”), Seller will order (i) a title search to be performed with regard to the Properties, and will cause a title insurance commitment (each, a “ Title Commitment ” and collectively, the “ Title Commitments ”) to be issued with regard to each Property, together with the vesting deeds and copies of all other documents referred to in the Title Commitments (collectively, the “ Title Documents ”), and (ii) an ALTA/ACSM survey of each Real Property and each Improvement located on a Ground Lease Property to be prepared reflecting all plottable items referenced in the Title Commitments by a surveyor or civil engineer licensed in the State of South Carolina, containing commercially reasonable requirements and certifications in sufficient detail so as to provide the basis for the required Title Policy without boundary, encroachment or survey exceptions (each, a “ Survey ” and collectively, the “ Surveys ”).
