(a) Prior to
the end of the Due Diligence Period, Buyer
shall have the right to object in writing to any
title matters that appear on the Title Commitment or
Survey or any other title matters which are
specifically disclosed to Buyer by Seller in writing
at least ten (10) days prior to the end of the Due
Diligence Period. Any exceptions which are timely
objected to by Buyer shall be herein collectively
called the "Title Objections."
(b) If this
Agreement is not terminated by Buyer in
accordance with the provisions hereof, Seller shall,
at Closing, remove or cause to be removed any Title
Objections to the extent (and only to the extent)
that (i) such Title Objections have not been caused
by Buyer or any Buyer Representatives, and (ii) such
Title Objections are either (A) liens evidencing
monetary encumbrances (other than liens for
non-delinquent general real estate taxes for the
current year which are to be apportioned between
Buyer and Seller), or (B) liens created or suffered
to exist by Seller or its agents and affiliates but
only to the extent such liens are created after the
date of this Agreement in violation of Section 4.2.3
(collectively, the "Required Exceptions"). In
addition, Seller shall remove such Title Objections
as Seller may elect to remove, or elect to cause to
be removed at its expense, as set forth in subsection
(c) below.
(c) To the
extent that the same do not constitute
Required Exceptions, Seller shall notify Buyer in
writing within fifteen (15) business days after
receipt of Buyer's notice of Title Objections (but in
any event, prior to the Closing Date) whether Seller
elects to remove the same. If Seller elects not to
remove one or more of such Title Objections, then
within five (5) business days after Seller's election
(but in any event, prior to the 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 that expressly survive the termination of
this Agreement, or (ii) waive the Title Objections
which Seller has elected not to remove, in which
event the Closing shall occur as herein provided
without any reduction of or credit against the
Purchase Price on account of such Title Objections.
Any such Title Objection so waived (or deemed waived)
by Buyer shall be deemed to constitute an additional
Permitted Exception.
7
<PAGE>
(d) If Seller
is unable, after using good faith,
commercially reasonable efforts, to remove any
Required Exceptions or other Title Objections (other
than
monetary liens or encumbrances, which Seller
shall in all events be obligated to remove) that it
has previously elected to remove prior to the
Closing, Buyer may at Closing elect either to (a)
terminate this Agreement, in which event the Deposit
shall be paid to Buyer together with all of Buyer's
reasonable and verified costs and expenses, including
without limitation legal, environmental, title and
other fees incurred in connection with this Agreement
and proceeding with the transactions covered by this
Agreement, but not more than $50,000 (the
"Termination Expenses") 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 such
Title Objections, in which event the Closing shall
occur as herein provided without any reduction of or
credit against the Purchase Price (except that Buyer
shall be entitled to a credit against the Purchase
Price for any monetary liens plus any additional sums
required by the Title Company to be escrowed for
satisfaction of same). Upon notice to Buyer at least
ten (10) days prior to the scheduled Closing, Seller
shall be entitled to a reasonable adjournment of the
Closing (not to exceed thirty (30) days) for the
purpose of the removal of any Required Exceptions or
other Title Objections (other than monetary liens),
which removal may be effected by the issuance of
title insurance eliminating or insuring against the
effect of the Title Objections as provided in Section
4.2.2.
4.2.2
Discharge of Title Objections. If on the Closing Date there
are any Required Exceptions or any other Title Objections
which Seller has elected to pay and discharge, Seller may use
any portion of the Purchase Price to satisfy the same,
provided Seller shall either (a) deliver to Buyer at the
Closing instruments in recordable form and sufficient to cause
such Title Objections to be released of record, together with
the cost of recording or filing such instruments, or (b) cause
the Title Company to insure over the same, without any
additional cost to Buyer, whether such insurance is made
available in consideration of payment, bonding, indemnity of
Seller or otherwise, provided that any such insurance over any
matter other than a monetary lien shall be subject to Buyer's
approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld,
conditioned or delayed, and which shall be subject to the
other requirements for insuring over as provided in the
definition of "Permitted Exceptions" in Article 1 above.
8
<PAGE>
4.2.3 No
New Exceptions. From and after the date hereof, Seller
shall not execute any deed, easement, restriction, covenant or
other matter affecting title to the Property unless Buyer has
received a copy thereof and has approved the same in writing.
If Buyer fails to object in writing to any such proposed
instrument within ten (10) business days after receipt of such
instrument together with all applicable information and data
as is reasonably appropriate to the evaluation of Seller's
request, Buyer shall be deemed to have approved the proposed
instrument. Buyer shall not unreasonably withhold, condition
or delay its approval with respect to any such instrument;
provided that such instrument involves no financial burden to
Buyer.
4.3 Title
Insurance. At Closing, the Title Company shall issue to Buyer
the
Owner's Policy insuring that fee simple title to the Real Property
is
vested in Buyer, subject only to the Permitted Exceptions, and
with
extended coverage over the standard general exceptions. Buyer shall
be
entitled to request that the Title Company provide such
endorsements
(or amendments) to the Owner's Title Policy as Buyer may
reasonably
require, provided that (a) such endorsements (or amendments) shall
be
at no cost to, and shall impose no additional liability on, Seller,
(b)
Buyer's obligations under this Agreement shall not be conditioned
upon
Buyer's ability to obtain such endorsements and, if Buyer is unable
to
obtain such endorsements, Buyer shall nevertheless be obligated
to
proceed to close the Transaction without reduction of or set
off
against the Purchase Price and (c) the Closing shall not be delayed
as
a result of Buyer's request for endorsements.
ARTICLE 5. - BUYER'S DUE DILIGENCE/CONDITION OF THE PROPERTY
5.1 Buyer's
Inspections and Due Diligence. During the Due Diligence Period,
Seller shall provide Buyer and Buyer's representatives access to
the
Property and all files and records related to the leasing,
operation
and maintenance of the Property, the payment of rent, defaults
by
tenants and relationships with tenants (but specifically
excluding
Confidential Materials), including without limitation all
existing
physical and environmental reports, plans and specifications in
Seller's possession or control. Seller shall also provide Buyer
and
Buyer's representatives access to financial records of the
Property
(excluding Confidential Materials) to the extent reasonably
necessary
for Buyer to confirm that the income from the Property meets the
REIT
tests for federal income tax purposes. Buyer shall complete its
Due
Diligence at its sole cost and expense. Buyer shall
independently
inspect and investigate the Property and verify such information
with
respect to the Property as and to the extent that Buyer deems
necessary
or desirable to evaluate fully the Transaction and the physical
condition and economic status of the Property. Such Due Diligence
may
include, without limitation, Buyer's review and approval, in its
sole
and absolute discretion, of all title matters, applicable land use
and
zoning laws and regulations, the physical condition of the
Property,
leases and contracts affecting the Property and such other
items
related to the Property as Buyer may deem relevant. Seller agrees
to
make employees of Seller's property manager available to Buyer
and
Buyer's Representatives during the Due Diligence Period as
reasonably
requested by Buyer. Buyer shall immediately return the Property to
its
condition existing prior to any tests and inspections performed
by
Buyer's Representatives or consultants. By Buyer's execution of
this
Agreement, Buyer
hereby confirms its agreement to indemnify, defend and
hold each of the Seller Parties free and harmless from and against
any
and all Liabilities (including reasonable attorneys' fees and
expenses)
arising out of or resulting from the entry on the Property and/or
the
conduct of any Due Diligence by Buyer's Representatives or
consultants
at any time prior to Closing, to the extent caused by Buyer,
Buyer's
Representatives or consultants; provided, however, that Buyer's
obligations under the foregoing indemnity shall not apply to the
mere
discovery or non-negligent disturbance of a pre-existing
environmental
or physical condition at the Property; and provided, further,
that
Seller and Buyer waive against each other any loss or damage to
the
extent covered by casualty or liability insurance maintained by
the
other. Buyer's investigatory rights shall continue beyond the
Due
Diligence Period until Closing or any earlier termination of
this
Agreement, but without the contingency applicable to the Due
Diligence
Period.

5.2 As-Is
Sale. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that during the Due
Diligence
Period, Buyer shall conduct such Due Diligence as Buyer deems
necessary
or appropriate. In addition, Buyer acknowledges and agrees that
(a)
except for Seller's Warranties and except as otherwise expressly
set
forth in this Agreement, the Property shall be sold, and Buyer
shall
accept possession of the Property on the Closing Date, "AS IS,
WHERE
IS, WITH ALL FAULTS," with no right of setoff or reduction in
the
Purchase Price; (b) except for Seller's Warranties or as
otherwise
expressly set forth in this Agreement, none of the Seller Parties
have
or shall be deemed to have made any verbal or written
representations,
warranties, promises or guarantees (whether express, implied,
statutory
or otherwise) to Buyer with respect to the Property, any matter
set
forth, contained or addressed in the Documents (including
without
limitation the accuracy and completeness thereof) or the results
of
Buyer's Due Diligence; and (c) Buyer shall independently confirm to
its
satisfaction all information that it considers material to its
purchase
of the Property or the Transaction. Buyer expressly understands
and
acknowledges that it is possible that unknown Liabilities may
exist
with respect to the Property, and that Buyer explicitly took
such
possibility into account in determining and agreeing to the
Purchase
Price.
5.3
Termination of Agreement During Due Diligence Period. If Buyer, in
its
sole and absolute discretion, is not satisfied with the results of
its
Due Diligence during the Due Diligence Period, Buyer may terminate
this
Agreement by written notice to Seller given in accordance with
the
provisions of Section 16.9 hereof at any time prior to 5:00
p.m.
Eastern Time on the first business day following the expiration of
the
Due Diligence Period, and, in the event of such termination,
neither
Seller nor Buyer shall have any liability hereunder except for
those
obligations which expressly survive the termination of this
Agreement,
and Buyer shall be entitled to the return of the Deposit. In the
event
Buyer fails to terminate this Agreement prior to 5:00 p.m. Eastern
Time
on the first business day following the expiration of the Due
Diligence
Period, Buyer shall be deemed to have waived its rights to
terminate
this Agreement in accordance with this Article 5.

5.4 Buyer's
Certificate. Buyer shall deliver to Seller, at the Closing, a
certificate in the form of Exhibit C attached hereto and

herein by this reference.
ARTICLE 6. - ADJUSTMENTS AND PRORATIONS
The following adjustments and prorations
shall be made at Closing:
6.1 Lease
Rentals.
6.1.1
Definition of "Rent". For purposes of this Article 6, the term
"Rent" shall mean all base rents, percentage rents, additional
rent, common area maintenance charges and any tax and
operating expense reimbursements and escalations due from the
tenants under the Leases.
6.1.2
Rents. All collected Rents shall be prorated between Seller
and Buyer as of 12:01 a.m. on the Closing Date. Seller shall
be entitled to all Rents attributable to the period up to but
not including the Closing Date. Buyer shall be entitled to all
Rents attributable to any period on and after the Closing
Date. Rents not collected as of the Closing Date (including
percentage rents) shall not be prorated at the time of
Closing. After Closing, Buyer shall make a good faith effort
for a period not less than twelve (12) months to collect any
Rents not
collected as of the Closing Date on Seller's behalf
and to tender the same (or Seller's share thereof computed in
accordance with the provisions of this Agreement) to Seller
upon receipt, net of any adjustments due to Buyer (which
obligation of Buyer shall survive the Closing and not be
merged therein); provided, however, that all Rents collected
by Buyer on or after the Closing Date shall first be applied
to all amounts due under the Leases 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, but
only to the extent of amounts delinquent and actually due
Seller. Seller agrees that the invoicing of delinquent tenants
on a monthly basis shall constitute a good faith effort and
Buyer shall not be obligated to enforce its rights under the
Leases, or threaten such enforcement, or to bring any
proceedings in a court of law or equity. Buyer shall not have
an exclusive right to collect the sums due Seller under the
Leases, and Seller hereby retains its rights to pursue any
tenant under the Leases for sums due Seller for periods
attributable to Seller's ownership of the Property (including,
without limitation, any percentage rent that may be due with
respect to any period of time prior to Closing, regardless of
when the same is to be paid to the owner of the Property
pursuant to the terms of the applicable Lease); provided,
however, that Seller (i) shall be required to notify Buyer in
writing of its intention to commence or pursue such legal
proceedings; (ii) shall only be permitted to commence or
pursue any legal proceedings after the date which is three (3)
months after Closing and shall commence such proceeding, if at
all, prior to the 1st anniversary of the Closing Date; and
(iii) shall not be permitted to commence or pursue any legal
proceedings against any tenant seeking eviction of such tenant
or the termination of the underlying lease. The terms of the
immediately preceding sentence shall survive the Closing and
not be merged therein.

<PAGE>
6.1.3
Other Revenues. Revenues from Property operations other than
Rents (which shall be prorated as provided in Subsection
6.1.2), and security deposits (which will be apportioned as
provided in Section 6.7), that are actually collected, shall
be prorated between Buyer and Seller as of 12:01 a.m. on the
Closing Date. Seller shall be entitled to all such revenues
attributable to any period to but not including the Closing
Date, and Buyer shall be entitled to all such revenues
attributable to any period on and after the Closing Date.
After Closing, Buyer shall make a good faith effort for a
period not less than six (6) months to collect any such
revenues not collected as of the Closing Date on Seller's
behalf and to tender the same to Seller upon receipt, net of
any adjustments due to Buyer (which obligation of Buyer shall
survive the Closing and not be merged therein); provided,
however, that all such other revenues collected by Buyer on or
after the Closing Date shall first be applied to all amounts
that may be due from such payor to Buyer at the time of
collection with the balance (if any) payable to Seller, but
only to the extent of amounts delinquent and actually due to
Seller. Seller agrees that the invoicing of delinquent payors
on a monthly basis shall constitute a good faith effort and
Buyer shall not be obligated to enforce its rights under the
agreements pursuant to which such revenues are due, or
threaten such enforcement, or to bring any proceedings in a
court of law or in equity. Buyer shall not have an exclusive
right to collect such revenues, and Seller hereby retains its
rights to pursue any parties for sums due Seller for periods
attributable to Seller's ownership of the Property; provided,
however, that Seller (i) shall be required to notify Buyer in
writing of its intention to commence or pursue such legal
proceedings; (ii) shall only be permitted to commence or
pursue any legal proceedings after the date which is three (3)
months after Closing and shall commence such proceeding, if at
all, prior to the 1st anniversary of the Closing Date; and
(iii) to the extent any such delinquent payor is a tenant at
the Property, shall not be permitted to commence or pursue any
legal proceedings against such tenant seeking eviction of such
tenant or the termination of the underlying lease. The terms
of the immediately preceding sentence shall survive the
Closing and not be merged therein. Notwithstanding anything
contained herein to the contrary, Buyer and Seller acknowledge
and agree that Seller shall be entitled to bill and collect
all reconciliations for 2004 common area maintenance charges
and taxes owed by tenants to Seller.
6.1.4
Marketing Funds. Advertising and marketing funds collected by
Seller prior to Closing and not expended will be credited
against the Purchase Price.
6.2

Seller
for the Reimbursable Lease Expenses to the extent required by the
terms
of Section 10.2.5.
12
<PAGE>
6.3 Real
Estate and Personal Property Taxes. 6.3.1 Proration of Ad
Valorem
Taxes. Subject to the terms of Section 6.3.4 below, Buyer and
Seller
shall only prorate ad valorem real estate and personal property
taxes
for the Property
that are assessed for the Tax Year in which Closing
occurs. There shall be no proration of ad valorem real estate
or
personal property taxes other than as set forth hereinabove, and,
as
between Buyer and Seller, Buyer agrees that it shall be solely
responsible for all such ad valorem real estate and personal
property
taxes due and payable after the Closing and Seller shall be
solely
responsible for all such ad valorem real estate and personal
property
taxes attributable to periods prior to the Closing. The proration
of
the ad valorem real estate and personal property taxes assessed for
the
Tax Year in which Closing occurs shall be calculated as
follows:
(a) Seller
shall be responsible for that portion of such taxes
equal to (i) the total such taxes assessed for the Tax Year in
which Closing occurs, multiplied by (ii) a fraction, the
numerator of which shall be the number of days in such Tax
Year prior to the Closing Date, and the denominator of which
shall be 365; and
(b) Buyer
shall be responsible for that portion of such taxes
equal to
(i) the total such taxes assessed for the Tax Year in
which Closing occurs, multiplied by (ii) a fraction, numerator
of which shall be the number of days in such Tax Year
subsequent to and including the Closing Date, and the
denominator of which shall be 365.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Seller agrees
to
collect and remit to the appropriate taxing authority all sales and
use
taxes, if any, required by Law to be collected by Seller prior to
the
Closing Date, and Buyer agrees to collect and remit to the
property
taxing authorities all sales and use taxes, if any, required by Law
to
be collected by Buyer on or after the Closing Date. Each party
hereby
agrees to indemnify and hold the other party harmless from and
against
any and all liability such party may incur, including interest,
penalties and costs, by reason of the failure of the other party
to
collect and remit to the appropriate taxing authorities all sales
and
use taxes required to be collected by such party during its period
of
ownership. The provisions of this paragraph shall survive Closing
and
shall not be merged therein. Seller's indemnity obligation under
this
Section 6.3.1 shall not be subject to, and shall be in addition to,
the
cap on Seller's liability provided for in Section 16.15 of this
Agreement.
6.3.2
Insufficient Information. If, at Closing, the real estate
and/or personal property tax rate and assessments have not
been set for the taxes assessed for the Tax Year in which
Closing occurs, then the proration of such taxes shall be
based upon the rate and assessments for the preceding Tax
Year, and such proration shall be adjusted between Seller and
Buyer after Closing upon presentation of written evidence that
the actual taxes assessed for the Tax Year in which Closing
occurs differ from the amounts used at Closing and in
accordance with the provisions of Section 6.8.
13
<PAGE>
6.3.3
Special Assessments. Seller shall pay all installments of
special assessments due and payable prior to the Closing Date,
and Buyer shall pay all installments of special assessments
due and payable on and after the Closing Date. Special
assessments, if any, for the month of Closing will be
prorated.
6.3.4
Tenant Reimbursements. Seller and Buyer acknowledge that real
estate taxes are due without penalty on December 31 for the
preceding October 1 - September 30 fiscal period and in that
regard they agree that, notwithstanding any provision in any
of the Leases to the contrary, the tax reimbursement payments
to be paid by tenants of the Property during the Tax Year in
which Closing occurs are to be applied to pay the real estate
taxes assessed for such Tax Year and, therefore, Buyer shall
not receive a credit at Closing for any amounts due and
payable by tenants of the Property prior to the Closing as
real estate tax reimbursements (other than real estate tax
reimbursements actually received by Seller prior to Closing
which are applicable to the month in which Closing occurs or
to periods thereafter, which reimbursements shall be prorated
between Buyer and Seller.)
6.4 Other
Property Operating Expenses. Operating expenses for the
Property
shall be prorated as of 12:01 a.m. on the Closing Date. Seller
shall
pay all utility charges and other operating expenses attributable
to
the Property to, but not including the Closing Date (except for
those
utility charges and operating expenses payable by tenants in
accordance
with the Leases), and Buyer shall pay all utility charges and
other
operating expenses attributable to the Property on or after the
Closing
Date. 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 twenty (20) days of the date that actual consumption for
such
pre-closing period is determined, which obligation shall survive
the
Closing and not be merged therein. Seller shall endeavor to
obtain
final meter readings as of the date prior to Closing. If any
utility
charges are paid in advance or in arrears, appropriate prorations
shall
be made as of the Closing Date. 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. Notwithstanding the foregoing terms of
this
section, Seller shall have no obligation to pay (and Buyer shall
not
receive a credit at Closing for) any operating expenses to the
extent
that (x) Buyer is entitled after Closing to reimbursement of
operating
expenses from tenants, or the recovery of any increase in
operating
expenses, from the tenants under the Leases (including payments
due
from tenants for the month in which Closing occurs but which are
not
actually received by Seller prior to Closing), (y) the tenants
from
whom reimbursement is due are not at Closing in default under
their
Leases, and such reimbursements from tenants under the Leases are
not
more than thirty (30) days past due as of the Closing Date, and (z)
the
amount of such reimbursement from the tenants is capable of
reasonably
precise determination as of the Closing, regardless of whether
Buyer
actually collects such reimbursement or increased operating
expenses
from such tenants after Closing, it being understood and agreed
by
Buyer and Seller that (a) as between Buyer and Seller, Buyer shall
be
responsible for payment of all of such operating expenses to the
extent
of the reimbursements due from tenants as aforesaid, and (b) the
burden
of collection such reimbursements shall be solely on Buyer.
14
<PAGE>
6.5 Closing
Costs. Buyer shall pay the following costs: (a) one-half of all
premiums and charges in connection with the Owner's Title
Policy
(provided any endorsements shall be solely the responsibility of
Buyer)
issued to Buyer, (b) the cost of preparing the Survey, (c) all
recording and filing charges in connection with the instrument by
which
Seller conveys the Property, (d) one-half of the Title Company
escrow
and closing charges, (e) one-half of all documentary stamp
taxes,
transfer taxes, deed taxes, sales taxes and similar charges
applicable
to the transfer of the Property to Buyer ("Transfer Taxes"), (f)
all
costs of Buyer's Due Diligence, including fees due its consultants
and
attorneys, and (g) all lenders' fees related to any financing to
be
obtained by Buyer. Seller shall pay the following costs: (a)
one-half
of the Title Company escrow and closing charges, (b) all fees due
its
attorneys, (c) one-half of the premiums for the Owner's Title
Policy,
excluding Buyer's endorsements, and (d) one-half of the Transfer
Taxes.
The obligations of the parties under this Section 6.5 shall survive
the
Closing (and not be merged therein) or any earlier termination of
this
Agreement.
6.6
Apportionment Credit. In the event the apportionments to be made at
the
Closing result in a credit balance (a) to Buyer, such sum shall be
paid
(at Seller's option) at the Closing by giving Buyer a credit
against
the Purchase Price in the amount of such credit balance, or (b)
to
Seller, Buyer shall pay the amount thereof to Seller at the Closing
by
wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account or
accounts
to be designated by Seller for the payment of the Purchase
Price.
6.7 Cash
Security Deposits. At Closing, Seller shall give Buyer a credit
against the Purchase Price in the aggregate amount of any
unapplied
cash security deposits then held by Seller under the Leases less
any
administrative or similar charges to which Seller may be entitled
under
applicable Law.
6.8 Gift
Certificate Program. Buyer acknowledges that Seller's gift
certificate program is a company-wide plan. Therefore, no credit
will
be given at Closing for issued and unused gift certificates.
Seller
hereby agrees to honor all gift certificates as they are
redeemed,
however, no transfer of the gift certificate program shall be
made.
Included in this sale is all gift certificate equipment
(check-issuing
equipment) presently used for the gift certificate program.
6.9
Improvement Allowance Credit. At Closing, Seller shall give Buyer
a
credit against the Purchase Price in an amount equal to the
aggregate
tenant improvement allowances provided for in the Tenant Leases
that
have not been paid to tenants, to the extent that such allowances
arise
under Tenant Leases other than New Leases (which are the
responsibility
of Buyer). In calculating the undisbursed allowances, Seller shall
be
entitled to rely upon the statements made by the tenants with
respect
thereto in their respective tenant estoppel certificates.
15
<PAGE>
6.10 Delayed
Adjustment; Delivery of Operating and Other Financial
Statements. If at any time following the Closing Date, the amount
of an
item listed in any section of this Article 6 shall prove to be
incorrect (whether as a result in an error in calculation or a lack
of
complete and accurate information as of the Closing), the party
in
whose favor the error was made shall promptly pay to the other
party
the sum necessary to correct such error upon receipt of proof of
such
error, provided that such proof is delivered to the party from
whom
payment is requested on or before one (1) year after Closing
(such
period being referred to herein as the "Post Closing Adjustment
Period"). In order to enable Seller to determine whether any
such
delayed adjustment is necessary, Buyer shall provide to Seller
the
relevant operating and financial statements for the Property no
later
than the date one (1) month prior to the expiration of the
Post-Closing
Adjustment Period or as soon thereafter as practicable, but in
such
case the Post Closing Adjustment Period shall be extended until 1
month
after delivery of such statements. The provisions of this Section
6.11
shall survive the Closing and not be merged therein.
