previously designated by Escrowee or by certified check of
Purchaser or bank teller’s check to the order of Escrowee.
The Initial Deposit and the Additional Deposit, to the extent then
paid, together with interest earned thereon is hereinafter called
the “ Deposit .” In the event any check in
payment of the Deposit is cancelled or returned uncollected,
Seller, at its sole option, may cancel this Contract and/or pursue
any legal remedies Seller may have against Purchaser on such check
at the sole expense of Purchaser, such remedies being cumulative
and not exclusive.
3.3 On the Closing
Date, the sum of TWENTY TWO MILLION FOUR HUNDRED FIFTY THOUSAND AND
00/100 DOLLARS ($22,450,000.00), subject to adjustment and

accordance with this Contract.
4.1 Upon the Closing, Escrowee is
authorized and directed to pay the Deposit to Seller (or as Seller
may direct).

Escrowee shall pay the Deposit to Seller, who shall retain the
Deposit in accordance with Section 10.1 below.

this Contract is terminated by reason other than Purchaser’s

earned thereon, in United States Government Treasury Bills or

therewith. The employer identification numbers of Seller and
Purchaser are respectively set forth on the signature page

4.5 Escrowee, by
signing this Contract at the end hereof where indicated, signifies
its agreement to hold the Deposit for the purposes as provided in
this Contract. In the event of any dispute, Escrowee shall have the
right to deposit the Deposit in court to await the resolution of
such dispute. Escrowee shall not incur any liability by reason of
any action or non-action taken by it in good faith or pursuant to
the judgment or order of a court of competent jurisdiction.
Escrowee shall have the right to rely upon the genuineness of all
certificates, notices and instruments delivered to it pursuant
hereto, and all the signatures thereto or to any other writing
received by Escrowee purporting to be signed by any party hereto,
and upon the truth of the contents thereof.
4.6 Except as
otherwise provided for in Section 4.1, Escrowee shall not pay
or deliver the Deposit to any party unless written demand is made
therefor and a copy of such written demand is delivered to the
other party. If Escrowee does not receive a written objection from
the other party to the proposed payment or delivery within five
(5) Business Days after such demand is served by personal
delivery on such party, Escrowee is hereby authorized and directed
to make such payment or delivery. If Escrowee does receive such
written objection within such five (5) Business Day period or if
for any other reason Escrowee in good faith shall elect not to make
such payment or delivery, Escrowee shall forward a copy of the
objections, if any, to the other party or parties, and continue to
hold the Deposit unless otherwise directed by written instructions
from the parties to this Contract or by a judgment of a court of
competent jurisdiction. In any event, Escrowee shall have the right
to refrain from taking any further action with respect to the
subject matter of the escrow until it is reasonably satisfied that
such dispute is resolved or action by Escrowee is required by an
order or judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.
4.7 Escrowee is
acting solely as a stakeholder and depository, and is not
responsible or liable in any manner whatsoever for the identity or
authority of any person depositing the Deposit with Escrowee.
Purchaser and Seller agree to jointly and severally indemnify
Escrowee from and against any loss, cost, damage, expense and
attorneys’ fees arising out of this Article 4, other than any
loss, cost, damage, expense or attorneys’ fees resulting from
Escrowee’s own negligence or misconduct. Escrowee shall be
entitled to consult with counsel in connection with its duties
hereunder. Seller and Purchaser, jointly and severally, agree to
reimburse Escrowee, upon demand, for the reasonable costs and
expenses including attorneys’ fees incurred by Escrowee in
connection with its acting in its capacity as Escrowee. In the
event of litigation relating to the subject matter of the escrow,
whichever of Seller or Purchaser is not the prevailing party shall
reimburse the prevailing party for any costs and fees paid by the
prevailing party or paid from the escrowed funds to Escrowee.
5.1 Purchaser
acknowledges and agrees that (a) Purchaser has, or will have
prior to the expiration of Purchaser’s Review Period,
independently examined, inspected, and investigated to the full
satisfaction of Purchaser, the physical nature and condition of the
Premises, including, without limitation, its environmental
condition, and the income, operating expenses and carrying charges
affecting the Premises, (b) except as expressly set forth in
this Contract, neither Seller nor any agent, officer, employee, or

environmental hazards on, under or about the Property, the Property
Information, the Space Leases, operating expenses or carrying
charges affecting the Premises, the compliance of the Premises or
its operation with any laws, rules, ordinances or regulations of
any applicable governmental or quasi-governmental authority or the
habitability, merchantability, marketability, profitability or
fitness of the Premises for any purpose and (c) except as
expressly set forth in this Contract, Purchaser, in executing,
delivering and performing this Contract, does not rely upon any
statement, offering material, operating statement, historical

information (including the Property Information), or representation
to whomsoever made or given, whether to Purchaser or others, and
whether directly or indirectly, orally or in writing, made by any
person, firm or corporation except as expressly set forth herein,
and Purchaser acknowledges that any such statement, information
(including the Property Information), offering material, operating
statement, historical budget, report or representation, if any,
does not represent or guarantee future performance of the Premises.
Without limiting the foregoing, but in addition thereto, except as
otherwise expressly set forth in Section 6.1 of this Contract,
Seller shall deliver, and Purchaser shall take, the Premises in its
“as is” “where is” condition and with all
faults on the Closing Date, including without limitation, any notes

5.2 Except as set

forever discharges Seller, its affiliates, subsidiaries, officers,
directors, shareholders, employees, independent contractors,
partners, representatives, agents, successors and assigns
(collectively, the “Released Parties”), and each of
them, from any and all causes of action, claims, assessments,

obligations, reimbursements, costs and expenses of any kind or
nature, actual, contingent, present, future, known or unknown,
suspected or unsuspected, including, without limitation, interest,
penalties, fines, and attorneys’ and experts’ fees and
expenses, whether caused by, arising from, or premised, in whole or
in part, upon Seller’s acts or omissions, and notwithstanding
that such acts or omissions are negligent or intentional, or
premised in whole or in part on any theory of strict or absolute
liability, which Purchaser, its successors or assigns or any
subsequent purchaser of the Premises may have or incur in any
manner or way connected with, arising from, or related to the
Premises, including without limitation (i) the environmental
condition of the Premises, or (ii) actual or alleged
violations of environmental laws or regulations in connection with
the Premises and/or any property conditions. Purchaser agrees,
represents and warrants that the matters released herein are not
limited to matters which are known, disclosed, suspected or
foreseeable, and Purchaser hereby waives any and all rights and
benefits which it now has, or in the future may have, conferred
upon Purchaser by virtue of the provisions of any law which would
limit or detract from the foregoing general release of known and
unknown claims. The provisions of this Section 5.2 shall
survive the Closing or termination of this Contract.
6.1
Seller’s Representations. Seller represents that as of
the date hereof:
(a) Seller is, and at the
Closing shall be, a limited liability company formed under the laws
of the State of Delaware. Seller has the right, power and authority
to make and perform its obligations under this Contract without the
need for governmental approval, consent or filing.
(b) The execution, delivery and
performance of this Contract in accordance with its terms, do not
violate the limited liability company agreement of Seller, or any
contract, agreement, commitment, order, judgment or decree to which
Seller is a party or by which it is bound.
(c) Seller has the right, power
and authority to make and perform its obligations under this
Contract.
(d) This Contract is a valid
and binding obligation of Seller enforceable against Seller in
accordance with its terms.
(e) Seller is not a
“foreign person” within the meaning of
Section 1445 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended.
(f) The tenants listed on
Schedule C annexed hereto are tenants under leases
(such leases are herein called the “ Existing Space
Leases ” and the lessees thereunder are herein called the
“ Existing Space Tenants ”), true, correct and
complete copies of which have been delivered or made available to
Purchaser, constitute the only leases, licenses or other written
agreements for the use or occupancy of the Premises to which Seller
is a party and which will be binding on Purchaser following the
Closing, except as may otherwise be set forth in the Permitted
Exceptions. Except as may be set forth in Schedule C
annexed hereto, the Existing Space Leases are in full force and
effect.
(g) The information on the rent
roll attached hereto as Schedule C is true and correct
in all material respects.
(h) The 2005 and
2006 year-to-date operating statements for the Property
attached hereto as Schedule F were prepared in the
normal course of business.
(i) Except as may be set forth
in its Space Lease, no Existing Space Tenant has made payments to
Seller in advance for more than one (1) month (exclusive of
security deposits).
(j) Set forth on
Schedule D is a true, correct and complete list of the
service contracts (the “ Service Contracts ”)
which may be binding on Purchaser or the Property after the
Closing. Seller does not guarantee or undertake that any of the
Service Contracts will be in effect as of the Closing. Seller
reserves the right to modify, terminate or enter into new Service
Contracts prior to Closing provided such new service contracts are
terminable on not more than thirty (30) days prior notice
without payment of any premium or penalty (unless Seller agrees to
pay the premium or penalty). Notwithstanding anything contained
herein to the contrary, Purchaser shall notify Seller in writing
prior to the expiration of Purchaser’s Review Period which,
if any, of the Service Contracts Purchaser does not wish to assume
at Closing and Seller shall terminate, prior to the Closing Date,
those Service Contracts specified in Purchaser’s notice,
except Seller shall have no obligation to terminate, and Purchaser
hereby agrees to accept and assume in accordance with
Exhibit 3 all Service Contracts (including those
specified in Purchaser’s notice) which cannot be terminated
by Seller (i) without cause, (ii) upon less than thirty
(30) days’ notice, or (iii) without payment of a premium
or penalty. Purchaser’s failure to timely deliver notice
pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be deemed
Purchaser’s election to accept and assume all of the Service
Contracts in accordance with Exhibit 3 .
(k) There are no persons
employed by Seller at the Premises in connection with the operation
or maintenance of the Premises who will be binding upon Purchaser
after the Closing.
(l) Except as set forth on
Schedule C or in the tenant files delivered or made
available to Purchaser, Seller has not sent to or received a
written notice of default from a Space Tenant under the Space
Leases in the past six (6) months which has not been cured or
waived.
(m) There is no pending or
overtly threatened condemnation proceeding against the Premises or
any portion thereof.
(n) Except as set forth on
Schedule E annexed hereto, in the tenant files
delivered or made available to Purchaser or for matters fully
covered (excluding deductibles) by one or more insurance policies,
there is no litigation pending against the Premises.
(o) No Major Tenant (i) is
in default of their monthly base rent payments for more than sixty
(60) consecutive days, (ii) has commenced a pending
action for bankruptcy, (iii) has given notice in the prior
twelve (12) months that it will abandon its entire demised
premises or (iv) has abandoned its entire demised premises. If
Purchaser has not terminated this Agreement pursuant to
Section 12.1 herein, then following the waiver of
Purchaser’s Review Period or the expiration of the Outside
Termination Date, this representation shall be deemed stricken from
the Agreement and Purchaser shall have no rights against Seller or
with respect to this Agreement in connection thereto.
6.2
Knowledge. The representations of Seller set forth in
Section 6.1 are made to the actual knowledge of Michael
Collazo, who is the asset manager (for DRA Advisors LLC) of the
Premises and Valla Brown, who is the former asset manager (for DRA
Advisors LLC) of the Premises. Any reference to Seller’s
“receipt” or language similar thereto of notices or
other written documents shall mean the actual receipt of the same
by Michael Collazo and Valla Brown. In no event shall Purchaser be
entitled to assert any cause of action against Michael Collazo or
Valla Brown nor shall Michael Collazo or Valla Brown have any
personal liability whatsoever for any matter under or related to
this Contract.
6.3 Update and
Survival. At Closing, Seller shall update the representations
made in Section 6.1 above as the facts then exist. The
representations made in Section 6.1 and any update of such
representations shall survive the Closing for three
(3) months; provided, however, any representation which
results in a reduction of the Purchase Price pursuant to
Section 6.4 shall not survive the Closing. In any event,
Seller’s maximum liability after Closing for representations
that survive Closing shall be equal to the Maximum Representation
Expense.
6.4 Liability
for Misrepresentations .
(a) Subject to the provisions
of Section 6.4(b) below, if any representation of Seller shall
fail to be true in any material and adverse respect,
Purchaser’s sole remedy shall be to terminate this Contract
and receive the return of the Deposit and upon the receipt of same,
this Contract shall be null and void and of no further force or
effect and, except for those provisions expressly stated to survive
the termination of this Contract, neither party shall have any
rights or obligations against or to the other. Seller shall have
the option to rescind Purchaser’s termination of this
Contract and adjourn the Closing for a period not to exceed thirty
(30) days beyond the date scheduled for the Closing in order
to make such representation true. If the Closing shall take place
without Purchaser making an objection to an untrue representation
of which Purchaser shall have actual knowledge, Purchaser shall be
deemed to have waived all liability of Seller by reason of such
untrue representation. Upon delivery of any Estoppel Certificates,
Seller shall be entirely released from any liability under
Seller’s representations (including, without limitation, any
update of the representations) concerning the information contained
in such Estoppel Certificates to the extent the same is consistent
with, or more favorable than, the information contained in
Seller’s representations. The provisions of this
Section 6.4 shall survive the Closing or termination of this
Contract.
(b) The provisions of
Section 6.4(a) above to the contrary notwithstanding, if any
representation(s) shall fail to be true and such representation(s)
can be made true by the payment of a liquidated sum of money only,
and if both (a) such representation(s) can reasonably be
expected to be made true within a period of thirty (30) days
beyond the date scheduled for Closing and (b) the sum of money
required to make such representation(s) true shall not exceed
Eighteen Thousand Seven Hundred Fifty and 00/100 ($18,750.00)
Dollars in the aggregate (the “ Maximum Representation
Expense ”), in such event, Seller agrees to adjourn the
Closing for the period required to make such representation(s)
true, but not to exceed thirty (30) days beyond the date
scheduled for the Closing and to expend (or, at Seller’s
election, to obligate itself to expend by indemnity agreement, bond
or any other manner) an amount not to exceed the Maximum
Representation Expense. If there shall be any untrue
representation(s) which can be made true by the payment of a sum of
money only which exceeds the Maximum Representation Expense, or
which can be made true by the payment of not more than the Maximum
Representation Expense but not within the available time, and
Seller notifies Purchaser that Seller elects not to, or cannot,
make such representation(s) true within the available time,
Purchaser may elect to (i) cancel this Contract by notice to
Seller given within five (5) Business Days after receipt of
Seller’s notice or (ii) close with a credit from Seller
equal to the lesser of the amount required to make the
representation true or the Maximum Representation Expense. If
Purchaser fails to timely cancel this Contract as provided in the
preceding sentence, Purchaser shall nevertheless proceed to Closing
and the Purchase Price shall be reduced by the lesser of the sum of
money required to make such representations true or the Maximum
Representation Expense. Anything in this Section to the contrary
notwithstanding, an attempt by Seller to make any untrue
representation to be true shall not be deemed to be or create an
obligation of Seller to make the same true.
6.5
Purchaser’s Representations . Purchaser represents
that:
(a) The execution, delivery and
performance of this Contract in accordance with its terms, do not
violate the partnership agreement, corporate charter, by-laws,
certificate of incorporation or operating agreement of Purchaser,
or any contract, agreement, commitment, order, judgment or decree
to which Purchaser is a party or by which it is bound;
(b) Purchaser has the right,
power and authority to make and perform its obligations under this
Contract; and

7.1 Leasing
Practice .
(a) The Existing Space Leases,
together with any modifications, renewals and new leases made after
the date hereof in accordance with this Section 7.1 hereof are
herein called the “ Space Leases ” and the
tenants thereunder are herein called the “ Space
Tenants ”. During the period ending five (5) days
before the Outside Termination Date, Seller may enter into new
leases, terminate, renew and/or make modifications to the Space
Leases (collectively, “ New Lease(s) ”) without
the approval of Purchaser. Beginning with the fifth (5th) day
before the Outside Termination Date, provided Purchaser is not in
default under this Contract, Seller shall not enter into New Leases
without the prior approval of Purchaser, which approval shall not
be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Purchaser agrees
to grant or deny consent in writing (and provide, in reasonable
detail, the reasons for any denial) within three (3) Business
Days after Purchaser’s receipt of Seller’s request,
which request shall contain copies of all material information
related to such request and a summary of the material terms of the
proposed New Lease. Purchaser’s failure to timely respond in
writing to Seller’s request shall be deemed a consent to the
proposed New Lease. Seller shall, from time to time, inform (orally
or in writing) Purchaser of any new lease negotiations and promptly
give notice to Purchaser of any New Lease and a copy of any
instruments executed and any material information delivered in
connection with the New Lease.
(b) Following the Outside
Termination Date, Seller may continue to grant consent or approval
to a request made by a Space Tenant if such consent or approval is
required to be granted pursuant to the applicable provisions of the
Space Lease or if Seller is required to exercise reasonable
judgment or discretion in determining whether to grant the consent
or approval.
(c) Following the Outside
Termination Date, if Seller is not obligated to grant, or exercise
reasonable judgment or discretion in determining whether to grant,
consent or approval to a request made by a Space Tenant, then,
provided Purchaser is not in default under this Contract, Seller
shall, prior to granting such consent or approval, notify Purchaser
of the request made by a Space Tenant, which notice shall contain
copies of all documents, if any, submitted by such Space Tenant in
connection with the request. Purchaser agrees to advise Seller in
writing, within three (3) Business Days after Purchaser’s
receipt of Seller’s notice, whether Purchaser elects that the
Space Tenant’s request be granted or denied (and provide, in
reasonable detail, the reasons for any denial), which election
shall be made in Purchaser’s reasonable judgment.
Purchaser’s failure to timely respond in writing to
Seller’s notice shall be deemed an election to consent to the
proposed request.
(d) Purchaser acknowledges and
agrees that no representation has been made and no responsibility
has been assumed by Seller with respect to the continued occupancy
of the Premises, or any part thereof, by the Space Tenants from and
after the date hereof. Seller does not undertake or guarantee that
the Space Tenants will be in occupancy from and after the date
hereof. Prior to the Closing, Seller shall have the right, but not
the obligation, to enforce its rights against the Space Tenants by
summary proceeding, drawing down or application of security
deposits or in any other manner. Except as provided in this
Section 7.1 above and provided Purchaser is not in default
under this Contract, Seller shall not terminate any Space Lease
without the prior consent of Purchaser except in the event of a
default by a Space Tenant under its Space Lease.
7.2 Personal
Property and Equipment. During the pendency of this Contract,
Seller agrees not to transfer to any third party or remove any
personal property or equipment owned by Seller and material to the
operation or maintenance of the Premises and located in the
Premises unless such personal property or equipment is obsolete or
replaced with a substantially similar item.
7.3
Employees. During the pendency of this Contract, Seller
shall not hire any employees for whom Purchaser will have liability
following the Closing.
7.4 Development
Rights. During the pendency of this Contract, Seller shall not
sell, lease, transfer or otherwise encumber any development rights
appurtenant to the Premises that would materially and adversely
affect the Premises.
7.5 Tax Protest
Proceedings. Seller shall have sole authority to prosecute,
settle and withdraw proceedings to review any real estate tax
assessment for the Premises covering the fiscal years prior to and
in which the Closing occurs. Purchaser acknowledges that it has no
interest in any proceedings or refunds applicable to any fiscal tax
year prior to the year in which the Closing occurs. The provisions
of this Section shall survive the Closing.
7.6 Operation
and Maintenance. From and after the date hereof until the date
and time of the Closing, Seller shall operate and maintain the
Premises in the usual course of business and consistent with past
practices, excepting normal wear and tear and loss or Casualty,
except that Seller shall have no obligation whatsoever to make any
capital expenditures.

Attention: Mario Varano (the “ Title Company ”),
accompanied by a copy of all recorded documents affecting the
Property listed as exceptions in Schedule B of the
Title Commitment and (ii) delivered to Purchaser a copy of the
existing ALTA survey for the Property prepared by ESP Associates,
P.A., dated November 7, 2006 (the “ Survey

Termination Date, Purchaser shall furnish Seller with notice of any
objections Purchaser has to the Title Commitment (the “
Title Objection Date ”); provided, however, Seller
shall have no obligation to cure any such objections. Except as set
forth in Section 8.3(c) below, any matters existing as of the
Title Objection Date to which Purchaser does not object, shall be
deemed Permitted Exceptions. All defects, encumbrances,
encroachments or other objections to title that exist as of the
Outside Termination Date and which Seller has not in this Contract
or in a separate writing expressly agreed to remove, shall be
deemed Permitted Exceptions. Following the Outside Termination
Date, Purchaser shall notify Seller within five (5) days of
becoming aware of any other defects, encumbrances, encroachments or
other objections to title that are not Permitted Exceptions. Any
defects, encumbrances, encroachments or other objections to title
that are not Permitted Exceptions that are not timely objected to
in accordance with this Section 8.1 shall be deemed Permitted
Exceptions.

Title. Seller shall deliver and Purchaser shall accept title to
the Premises and consummate the transaction contemplated by this
Contract subject to (a) the title exceptions set forth in
Schedule B to this Contract and (b) title exceptions
created or suffered by the Space Tenants or Purchaser and
(c) the title exceptions deemed Permitted Exceptions under
Section 8.1 above and (d) any items or exceptions to title set
forth on the Survey and (e) such other title exceptions which
Seller may, in accordance with the provisions of this Contract,
cause the Title Company to omit from Purchaser’s title policy
or affirmatively insure, without additional premium (unless paid by
Seller) (the title exceptions [whether liens, encumbrances,
defects, encroachments or other objections] described in (a), (b),
(c), (d) and (e) herein sometimes referred to
collectively as “ Permitted Exceptions ”).

appear that the Premises is affected by any lien, encumbrance,
defect, encroachment or objection which is not a Permitted
Exception (collectively, “ Non-Permitted Title

Seller’s election,
