7.              Tenant Estoppel Certificates and SNDAs.

(a)            Tenant Estoppel Certificates .  Promptly after the date of this Agreement, Seller shall deliver to each tenant (but not any licensees) under the Leases a request to execute and deliver to Purchaser a tenant estoppel certificate with respect to its Lease in the form and substance of Exhibit G (collectively, the “ Tenant Estoppel Certificates ”).  To the extent that the tenants under the Leases execute and deliver to Seller such tenant estoppel certificates, Seller shall promptly deliver copies of the same (and at Closing, to the extent delivered by the tenants, originals thereof) to Purchaser.  Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, it shall be a condition to Purchaser’s obligation to close the transaction contemplated by this Agreement that Seller shall have delivered to Purchaser on or before the date that is five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing Date (as defined in Section 12 ) (the “ Estoppel Condition Date ”), tenant estoppel certificates executed by (a) tenants (the “ Required Tenants ”) occupying not less than seventy-five percent (75%) of the rentable space of the Improvements that is actually leased as of the Effective Date pursuant to valid and existing Leases which do not expire within one hundred twenty (120) days of the Closing Date (the “Actually Leased R.S.F. ”) (the “ Required Tenant Estoppel Certificates ”) (which 75% must include all tenants whose premises is in excess of 7,500 rentable square feet) (such condition being referred to herein as the “ Tenant Estoppel Condition ”).  In order to apply towards fulfillment of the Tenant Estoppel Condition, a certificate must (i) be substantially in the form of Exhibit G ; provided, however, that in the event any Lease permits a tenant to provide an estoppel certificate on a specified form, should said tenant execute that form of tenant estoppel certificate rather than the form in Exhibit G , Purchaser shall, subject to the further terms of this Section 7(a) , accept that form and (ii) not contain any descriptions of terms and conditions that are materially inconsistent with the actual terms and conditions of the applicable Lease or disclose any other matter that would have a material adverse effect on the value of the Property, it being expressly agreed and acknowledged by Purchaser that, (i) a tenant estoppel certificate shall not fail to qualify towards the fulfillment of the Tenant Estoppel Condition if the applicable tenant inserts or includes phrases such as “to Tenant’s knowledge” or “in all material respects” or other similar knowledge or materiality qualification to any of the statements contained in such tenant estoppel certificate or discloses any New Leases or New Commission Agreements entered into in accordance with Section 11(a) or any New Lease Costs incurred in accordance with Section 13(g) of this Agreement, and (ii) in the event any tenant discloses on its tenant estoppel certificate an obligation or default by the

4




landlord under its Lease which may be paid or cured by the payment of a definite and ascertainable amount (“ Claimed Amount ”), Seller shall have the right (but not the obligation) to credit Purchaser at Closing in the amount of the Claimed Amount, and if Seller does so credit Purchaser at Closing, the applicable disclosure on such tenant estoppel certificate shall not cause the same to fail to qualify as an acceptable tenant estoppel (if applicable) for purposes of fulfilling the Tenant Estoppel Condition.  In the event that the Tenant Estoppel Condition is not satisfied prior to the Estoppel Condition Date, Purchaser shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by delivering written notice thereof to Seller before 5:00 p.m. on the Estoppel Condition Date; if Purchaser does not duly and timely terminate this Agreement pursuant to this sentence, then Purchaser shall be deemed to have waived its right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 7 .

(b)            Owner’s Association Estoppel .  Seller shall deliver to Westchase Two Community Association, Inc. (the “ Association ”) on or before the date of this Agreement an estoppel certificate in connection with Regency Center that identifies all governing documents for the Association and states that (i) Seller is not in default under the Agreement Establishing Maintenance Charges or any other governing document for the Association, and (ii) all amounts owed by Seller to the Association have been paid in full.  Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such executed estoppel five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing Date and agrees to provide such executed estoppel to Purchaser immediately upon receipt.

(c)            Extension Right .  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if Seller has not satisfied the Tenant Estoppel Condition on or before 5:00 p.m. on the date that is one (1) Business Day prior to the Estoppel Condition Date, then Seller and Purchaser shall each have the right (the “ Extension Right ”) to extend both the Estoppel Condition Date and the Closing Date (as defined in Section 12 of this Agreement) for up to ten (10) Business Days (for each of the Estoppel Condition Date and the Closing Date), by providing written notice of such election to the other on or before 5:00 p.m. on the Estoppel Condition Date in which event the Estoppel Condition Date and the Closing Date shall be the latest of such extended dates as contained in Seller’s or Purchaser’s extension notice.

(d)            Failure of Condition .  In the event that Seller is unable to satisfy the Tenant Estoppel Condition by the Estoppel Condition Date, as such date may have been extended by Seller or Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement, Seller shall not be in default under this Agreement.  However, if the Tenant Estoppel Condition is not fulfilled as of the Estoppel Condition Date, as such date may have been extended by Seller or Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement, then Purchaser shall have the option (which must be elected by written notice to Seller, and if written notice is not given, then Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected option (A) below) either to (A) waive the Tenant Estoppel Condition, or (B) terminate this Agreement, in which event all of the Earnest Money shall be returned to Purchaser.

(e)            SNDA .  Seller agrees to cooperate with Purchaser to obtain subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreements (“ SNDAs ”) from tenants under Leases

selected by Purchaser’s lender.  Purchaser shall prepare all such SNDAs and deliver them to Seller for submission to the Tenants.  As and when received by Seller, Seller shall deliver copies of the executed SNDAs to Purchaser and originals of all such SNDAs received shall be delivered to Purchaser at Closing.  If the transaction contemplated herein fails to close for any reason whatsoever, Purchaser shall return to Seller all such copies of the executed SNDAs previously delivered to Purchaser.  The failure to obtain SNDAs from all or any of the selected tenants shall not constitute a default by Seller hereunder or otherwise entitle Purchaser to delay the Closing or terminate this Agreement.

8.              Title Insurance and Survey .

(a)            Title Commitment and Survey .  Seller has delivered to Purchaser copies of (i) the title insurance commitments (the “ Title Commitments ”) issued by First American Title Insurance Company (the “ Title Company ”) described on Exhibits H-1 through H-3 , inclusive, and copies of the underlying title documents referenced in each Schedule B of the Title Commitments and (ii) the surveys described on Exhibits I-1 through I-3 (the “ Surveys ”).

(c)            Closing Condition .  The obligation of Purchaser to purchase the Property on the Closing Date is conditioned upon the issuance by Title Company of the following with respect to each Project: one pro forma title insurance policy for, or one “marked up” written commitment to issue, one Texas standard form T-1 owner’s title insurance policy pursuant to the terms of the Title Commitments (each a “ Title Policy ” and collectively, the “ Title Policies ”), provided that each Title Policy shall (i) be subject only to the Permitted Exceptions, (ii) be dated as of the date of the Closing, (iii) name Purchaser as the insured, and (iv) if requested by Purchaser in writing, be revised to limit the standard exception dealing with area, boundaries and other matters, to “shortages in area” (provided that, if Purchaser requests same, Purchaser shall be responsible for the cost of such survey exception deletion).  If (x) the Title Company does not issue the Title Policies at the Closing in accordance with the terms of this Section 8(c) , and (y) the Closing does not occur, then Purchaser shall have the right, as its sole and exclusive remedy therefor, to terminate this Agreement by delivery of written notice to Seller before 5:00 p.m. on the Closing Date.  Purchaser shall not have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to the foregoing sentence if the Title Policies are not issued at Closing as a result of Purchaser’s failure to deliver any documents or other materials required to be delivered by or on behalf of Purchaser pursuant to the Title Commitments.
