1. Purchase and Sale of Property. Subject to and in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement, Seller hereby agrees to sell to Purchaser and Purchaser hereby agrees to purchase from Seller, the Property, which term “Property” shall mean and include the following:

(a) all that tract or parcel of land located in the City of Bloomingdale, DuPage County, Illinois containing approximately 7.01 acres, and being more particularly described on Exhibit “A” attached hereto (hereinafter referred to as the “Land”); and

(b) all rights, privileges, and easements appurtenant to the Land, including all water rights, mineral rights, development rights, air rights, reversions, or other appurtenances to said Land, and all right, title, and interest of Seller, if any, in and to any land lying in the bed of any street, road, alley, or right-of-way, open or proposed, adjacent to or abutting the Land; and

(c) all buildings, structures, and improvements situated on the Land, including, without limitation, that certain three story office building containing approximately 71,053 square feet of leasable floor area, all parking areas and other amenities located on the Land, and all of Seller’s right, title and interest in all apparatus, elevators, built-in appliances, equipment, pumps, machinery, plumbing, heating, air conditioning, and electrical and other fixtures located on the Land (all of which are together hereinafter referred to as the “Improvements”); and

(d) all tangible personal property now owned or hereafter acquired by Seller and located on or to be located on or in, or used in connection with, the Land and Improvements, including, without limitation, the items set forth and described on

(e) all of Seller’s right, title, and interest, as landlord or lessor, in and to each of the Leases (as hereinafter defined) and any and all guaranties of the Leases; and

2. Earnest Money.

(a) Within three (3) business days after the Effective Date of this Agreement, Purchaser shall deliver to Stewart Title Guaranty (“Escrow Agent”) as initial earnest money (the “Initial Earnest Money”), the amount of One Hundred Fourteen Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($114,500), which Initial Earnest Money shall be held and disbursed by Escrow Agent in accordance with the terms of a written Escrow Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit “C”. At the Closing (as hereinafter defined), the Initial Earnest Money shall be applied as partial payment of the Purchase Price due and payable at Closing pursuant to Paragraph 3 below.

(b) Unless this Agreement is terminated by Purchaser pursuant to Paragraph 5 hereof, Purchaser shall deliver a check to Escrow Agent in the amount of One Hundred Fourteen Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($114,500) (said amount being herein referred to as the “Additional Earnest Money”) within one (1) business day after the expiration of the Inspection Period. If Purchaser fails to pay such Additional Earnest Money on or before the date which is one (1) business days after the expiration of the Inspection Period, Purchaser shall be deemed to have terminated this Agreement under Paragraph 5 hereof and Escrow Agent shall promptly disburse the Earnest Money in accordance with Paragraph 5 hereof and this Agreement shall automatically terminate, and except as expressly provided to the contrary in this Agreement, no party hereto shall have any other or further rights or obligations under this Agreement.

(c) For the purposes of this Agreement the term “Earnest Money” shall mean whatever sums have been delivered to Escrow Agent as earnest money hereunder, including without limitation the Initial Earnest Money and the Additional Earnest Money, if any. The Earnest Money shall be applied to the Purchase Price at the Closing, and shall otherwise be held, refunded, or disbursed in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. All interest and other income from time to time earned on the Earnest Money shall belong to Purchaser

and shall be disbursed to Purchaser at any time or from time to time as Purchaser shall direct Escrow Agent, all as provided in the Escrow Agreement. In no event shall any such interest or other income be deemed a part of the Earnest Money.

3. Purchase Price. Subject to adjustment and credits as otherwise specified in this Agreement, the purchase price (the “Purchase Price”) to be paid by Purchaser to Seller for the Property shall be Eleven Million Four Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($11,450,000). The Purchase Price shall be paid by Purchaser to Seller at the Closing (as hereinafter defined) by wire transfer of immediately available federal funds, less the amount of Earnest Money and subject to prorations, adjustments, and credits as otherwise specified in this Agreement.

4. Purchaser’s Inspection and Review Rights.

(a) Commencing on the Effective Date of this Agreement and subject to the rights of the Tenants (as hereinafter defined), Purchaser and its agents, engineers, or representatives, with Seller’s full cooperation, shall have the privilege of going upon the Property as needed to inspect, examine, test, and survey the Property. Purchaser must provide Seller with at least twenty-four (24) hours’ prior notice (which notice may be made by telephone, facsimile or e-mail) of Purchaser’s desire to enter onto the Property to conduct any such surveys, assessments, studies, tests, inspections or examinations, and all such surveys, assessments, studies, tests, inspections and examinations shall be conducted in the presence of Seller or its representative(s) and at reasonable times. Without limiting the foregoing, prior to any entry to perform physically intrusive testing, Purchaser shall give Seller two (2) business days’ prior notice thereof (which notice may be made by telephone, facsimile or e-mail), including the identity of the company or persons who will perform such testing and the proposed scope of the testing. Seller shall approve or disapprove the scope and methodology of such proposed testing within such two (2) business day period after receipt of such notice, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld; Seller’s failure to notify Purchaser of its disapproval shall be deemed to be Seller’s disapproval thereof. In addition, Purchaser’s right to conduct the surveys, assessments, studies, tests, inspections and examinations described above shall be subject to the condition that Purchaser shall first have provided Seller with a certificate of insurance evidencing Purchaser’s (or its contractor’s, agent’s or representative’s) procurement of the commercial general liability insurance coverages described below. Purchaser and its employees, agents and representatives shall not contact any Tenant without first obtaining Seller’s prior consent (which consent may be by telephone, facsimile or e-mail).

(b) Purchaser shall maintain or shall cause to be maintained at all times during its entry upon the Property, commercial general liability insurance with limits of not less than One Million and No/100 Dollars ($1,000,000.00) per occurrence combined single limit. Such policy of insurance shall name Seller as an additional insured, and such policy shall be primary with respect to the activities of Purchaser and its agents, engineers or representatives at the Property, whether or not Seller holds other policies of insurance. A certificate issued by the insurance carrier of such policy shall be delivered to Seller prior to entry upon the Property by Purchaser or its agents, engineers or representatives.

(c) Purchaser hereby agrees to hold Seller harmless from any liens, claims, liabilities, and damages incurred through the exercise of such privilege (but excluding any liability arising out of the existing environmental condition of the Property or the presence of toxic or hazardous substances thereon and excluding any claims arising out of a release of existing or in-place hazardous or toxic substances on or under the Property), and Purchaser further agrees to repair any damage to the Property caused by the exercise of such privilege (excluding any damage arising out of a release of existing or in-place hazardous or toxic substances on or under the Property). Purchaser’s obligations as set forth in the preceding sentences shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

(d) Within three (3) business days after the Effective Date, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser a copy of all tenant files, tenant credit information, leasing commission agreements, current service and maintenance agreements, maintenance records for HVAC and other equipment and the roof(s) on the Improvements, operating statements for calendar years 2007, 2008, 2009 and year to date 2010, and the most current environmental report in Seller’s possession. Purchaser hereby acknowledges and agrees that Purchaser shall have no right to receive or review any financial or other information regarding Seller or its owners or any internal appraisals, analyses, summaries, reports or other documents generated internally by Seller or its owners. Seller further agrees to in good faith assist and cooperate with Purchaser in coming to a thorough understanding of the books, records, and files relating to the Property. Seller further agrees to provide to Purchaser prior to the date which is three (3) business days after the Effective Date of this Agreement, to the extent the same are in the possession of or under the control of Seller, as-built plans and specifications, the most current boundary and “as-built” surveys of the Land and Improvements and any title insurance policies, certificates of occupancy, building permits, zoning letters and instruments reflecting the approval of any association governing the Property or relating thereto. At no cost to Seller, Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the authors of environmental reports to issue reliance letters addressed to Purchaser and Purchaser’s lender, if any, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Purchaser.

(e) Seller acknowledges that Purchaser may be required by the Securities and Exchange Commission to file audited financial statements for one (1) to three (3) years with regard to the Property. At no cost or liability to Seller, Seller shall (i) cooperate with Purchaser, its counsel, accountants, agents, and representatives, provide them with access to Seller’s books and records with respect to the ownership, management, maintenance, and operation of the Property for the applicable period, and permit them to copy the same, and (ii) execute a form of “rep” letter in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Seller. Purchaser will pay the costs associated with any such audit, including Seller’s internal accounting charges.

5. Special Condition to Closing. Purchaser shall have until 5:00 p.m. central time on October 22, 2010 (the “Inspection Period”) to make investigations, examinations, inspections, market studies, feasibility studies, lease reviews, and tests relating to the Property and the operation thereof in order to determine, in Purchaser’s sole opinion and discretion, the suitability of the

Property for acquisition by Purchaser. Purchaser shall have the right to terminate this Agreement at any time prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period by giving written notice to Seller of such election to terminate. In the event Purchaser so elects to terminate this Agreement, Seller shall be entitled to retain the sum of Twenty-Five Dollars ($25.00) of the Earnest Money, and the balance of the Earnest Money shall be refunded to Purchaser, whereupon, except as expressly provided to the contrary in this Agreement, no party hereto shall have any other or further rights or obligations under this Agreement. Seller acknowledges that the sum of $25.00 is good and adequate consideration for the termination rights granted to Purchaser hereunder.

6. General Conditions Precedent to Purchaser’s Obligations Regarding the Closing. In addition to the conditions to Purchaser’s obligations set forth in Paragraph 5 above, the obligations and liabilities of Purchaser hereunder shall in all respects be conditioned upon the satisfaction of each of the following conditions prior to or simultaneously with the Closing, any of which may be waived by written notice from Purchaser to Seller:

(a) Seller has complied with and otherwise performed each of the covenants and obligations of Seller set forth in this Agreement.

(b) All representations and warranties of Seller as set forth in this Agreement shall be in all respects true and correct when made and as of the date of Closing as though such representations and warranties were made on and as of the date of Closing (and as if made without limitation or qualification as to Seller’s knowledge).

(c) The Title Insurer is prepared to issue to Purchaser upon the Closing a fee simple owner’s title insurance policy on the Land and Improvements which shall include only the Permitted Exceptions.

(d) Purchaser shall have received the Tenant Estoppel Certificate referred to in Paragraph 10 hereof, duly executed by the Bridgestone Retail Operations, LLC (“BFS”).

(e) No Tenant shall be in material default (without regard to the expiration of any applicable cure period provided in the Lease with such Tenant) under the terms of such Tenant’s Lease as of the date of Closing.

In the event Purchaser shall terminate this Agreement as a result of the non-satisfaction of any of the foregoing conditions, Purchaser shall be entitled to an immediate return of the Earnest Money from Escrow Agent.

7. Title to the Property. Good and marketable fee simple record title to the Land and Improvements shall be conveyed by Seller to Purchaser by Special Warranty Deed, free and clear of all liens, easements, restrictions, and encumbrances whatsoever, excepting only the Permitted Exceptions.

(a) Title. No later than five (5) business days following the Effective Date, Seller, at Seller’s sole cost and expense, shall obtain and deliver a commitment (“Title Commitment”) for the

issuance of an ALTA Form B owner’s policy of title insurance issued by Stewart Title Guaranty (the “Title Insurer”) in the amount of the Purchase Price, showing title in the Seller’s name, with extended coverage over the so-called general or standard exceptions arising from the actions of Seller but not any Tenant which are a part of the printed form of the policy, and including the following endorsements (collectively, the “Endorsements”): Comprehensive, Separate Tax Parcel Number, Access, Subdivision (if applicable), Contiguity (if applicable), Survey/Location, Zoning, Utility Facility, Modification of Arbitration Clause, Environmental Protection Lien, Gap, Restrictions (as applicable) and Encroachment (as applicable), together with a true, correct and complete copy of every document and instrument of record reflected therein. If Purchaser objects to any exceptions to title shown in any Title Commitment, Purchaser shall give Seller notice of such objection within ten (10) business days following Purchaser’s receipt of such Title Commitment and all such documents and instruments of record. Any exceptions to title shown on the Title Commitment to which Purchaser does not so object shall be “Permitted Exceptions”; provided, however, that in no event shall the Permitted Title Exceptions include, and Purchaser shall not be required to notify Seller of its objection to, any mortgage, deed of trust or financing statement relating thereto that encumbers the Property or any tax, mechanic’s lien or judgment lien relating to or arising from the acts of Seller but not any Tenant. If the Title Commitment discloses exceptions to title other than Permitted Exceptions and liens securing indebtedness of a definite and ascertainable amount which will be released on the Date of Closing by Seller, Seller shall have five (5) business days from the date of Purchaser’s notice of objection to have such exceptions removed from the Title Commitment (or, with the consent of Purchaser, to have the Title Insurer commit to insure for the full amount of said policy against loss or damage that may be occasioned by such unpermitted exceptions) and provide evidence thereof to Purchaser, and, if Seller fails to have such exceptions removed (or with the consent of Purchaser insured over), Purchaser may elect, on or before the date of Closing, as its sole remedy with respect to such matters (i) to terminate this Agreement, in which event this Agreement shall be null and void and neither party shall have any rights or obligations hereunder except those that expressly survive such termination, or (ii) to accept title subject to such unpermitted exceptions with the further right of to pay at Closing the existing first mortgage indebtedness secured by the Property, and cause the Title Insurer to issue its endorsement insuring against damage caused by any such unpermitted exceptions caused by Seller after the Effective Date and require Seller to pay at Closing the cost of the premiums and security provided for said endorsement. On the date of Closing, Seller shall cause the Title Insurer to issue an owner’s title insurance policy or prepaid commitment therefor, pursuant to and in accordance with the Title Commitment, insuring fee simple title in the Purchaser as of the date of Closing, subject only to the Permitted Exceptions.

(b) Survey. No later than five (5) business days following the Effective Date, Seller shall obtain and deliver, at Seller’s sole cost and expense, an as-built survey of the Property dated no earlier than one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the date of Closing, prepared by a surveyor licensed by the state of the Property and certified to Purchaser, the Title Insurer and such other parties as Purchaser shall designate, to be prepared in accordance with the Land Title Surveys of American Land Title Association National Society of Professional Surveyors promulgated in 2005, including Table A Items 1-4, 6, 7(a), 8-10, and 11(a) (the “Survey”). If the Survey discloses any encroachments onto the Land from any adjacent property, encroachments by or from the Land onto any adjacent property, violations of or encroachments upon any recorded building lines, restrictions

or easements affecting the Land or exceptions to title (other than the Permitted Exceptions) or matters to which Purchaser objects, Purchaser shall give Seller notice of such objection within ten (10) business days following Purchaser’s receipt of the Survey, and Seller shall have five (5) business days from the date of such notice to have such encroachments, violations, unpermitted exceptions or other matters so objected to by Purchaser removed or, with the consent of Purchaser, insured over by the Title Insurer and provide evidence thereof to Purchaser, and if Seller fails to have the same removed or, with the consent of Purchaser, insured over, Purchaser may elect, on or before the date of Closing, as its sole remedy with respect to such matters, (i) to terminate this Agreement, in which event this Agreement shall be null and void and neither party shall have any rights or obligations hereunder except those that expressly survive such termination, or (ii) accept the Property subject to such encroachments, violations or unpermitted exceptions with the further right to cause the Title Insurer to issue its endorsement insuring against damage caused by any such encroachments, violations or unpermitted exceptions caused by Seller after the Effective Date and require Seller to pay at Closing the cost of the premiums provided for said endorsement.

8. Representations and Warranties of Seller. Seller hereby makes the following representations and warranties to Purchaser, each of which shall be deemed material:

(a) Leases. Attached hereto as Exhibit “D” is a complete list setting forth all leases in effect relating to the Property and all modifications and amendments to such leases (such leases, as modified and amended, being herein collectively referred to as the “Leases” or individually as “Lease”). Seller has delivered to Purchaser complete and accurate copies of all of the Leases. Seller is the “landlord” under all of the Leases and owns unencumbered legal and beneficial title to all of the Leases and the rents and other income thereunder, subject only to the collateral assignment of the Leases and rents thereunder in favor of the holder of an existing mortgage or deed of trust encumbering the Property, which mortgage or deed of trust shall be cancelled and satisfied by Seller at the Closing. The lessees or tenants identified in the Leases are hereinafter collectively referred to as “Tenants” or individually as “Tenant”. To the best of Seller’s knowledge, there are no existing or uncured defaults by any Tenant or Seller under the Leases. No Tenant has prepaid rent for more than the current month under such Tenant’s Lease, or is entitled to any special work (not yet performed) or consideration (not yet given) in connection with its tenancy, except for a tenant improvement allowance of $617,380 owed to BFS (the “BFS Allowance”) and any improvements or allowances in connection with BFS’ election to expand its premises. All commissions currently due and payable under, relating to, or as a result of the Leases have been cashed-out and paid and satisfied in full by Seller or by Seller’s predecessor in title to the Property, and no further commissions shall be due or payable as a result of any Lease or any extension of the term of any Lease or any expansion of the space leased thereunder pursuant to any option contained in any Lease except as disclosed on Exhibit “E”.

(b) Contracts. Attached hereto as Exhibit “E” is a complete and accurate list and description of all written or oral (i) service, maintenance, operating, repair, collective bargaining, employment, employee benefit, management, leasing, brokerage, supply, purchase, consulting, professional service, advertising, promotion, public relations, construction contracts and commitments, and equipment warranties (excluding the Leases)

which have been entered into by or are binding upon Seller or the Property; (ii) equipment leases; and (iii) guarantees and warranties which benefit Seller in effect with respect to the Property or any portion thereof. (said agreements being herein collectively referred to as the “Contracts”). Seller has provided Purchaser with complete and accurate copies of all Contracts. All such Contracts are in full force and effect in accordance with their respective provisions, all payments required to be made by Seller or the “Owner” thereunder have been paid in full, and, to the best of Seller’s knowledge, there is no default, or claim of default, or any event which the passage of time or notice, or both, would constitute a default on the part of any party to any of such Contracts. All such Contracts are terminable without penalty or obligation to pay any severance or similar compensation on no more than thirty (30) days’ notice, except as expressly set forth on Exhibit “E”. Seller agrees to cancel, effective no later than the Closing, any of the Contracts terminable without penalty or obligation to pay any severance or similar compensation on no more than thirty (30) days’ notice specified by Purchaser in a written notice to Seller given at least ten (10) days prior to the Closing. Seller has cancelled or will cancel, effective as of the Closing, any agreement in the nature of a management agreement or service contract between Seller and any partner or member of Seller or any party affiliated with or related to Seller or any partner or member of Seller.

(c) No Litigation. There are no actions, suits, or proceedings pending, or, to the best of Seller’s knowledge, threatened by any organization, person, individual, or governmental agency against Seller with respect to the Property or against the Property, nor does Seller know of any basis for such action. Seller also has no knowledge of any pending or threatened application for changes in the zoning applicable to the Property or any portion thereof.

(d) Condemnation. No condemnation or other taking by eminent domain of the Property or any portion thereof has been instituted and, to the best of Seller’s knowledge, there are no pending or threatened condemnation or eminent domain proceedings (or proceedings in the nature or in lieu thereof) affecting the Property or any portion thereof or its use.

(e) No Roll-Back Taxes. The Property has not been classified under any designation authorized by law to obtain a special low ad valorem tax rate or to receive a reduction, abatement or deferment of ad valorem taxes which, in such case, will result in additional, catch-up or roll-back ad valorem taxes in the future in order to recover the amounts previously reduced, abated or deferred.

(f) Compliance with Applicable Laws. Seller has not received any written notice of any alleged violation of or nonconformity with any law relating to, or any restriction, condition, covenant, commitment, contract or agreement concerning, the ownership, operation, use and/or occupancy of the Property that has not been heretofore corrected.

(g) Operating Expense Statement. Seller has delivered to Purchaser an “Operating Expense Statement” prepared on a cash basis which is a complete, true, and

accurate list and description of all income received and all operating expenses paid during the period from January 1, 2007 through August 31, 2010.

(h) Employees. There are no employment, collective bargaining, or similar agreements or arrangements between Seller and any of its employees or others which will be binding on Purchaser or any of Purchaser’s successors in title.

(i) Effect of Certification. Neither this Agreement nor the transactions contemplated herein will constitute a breach or violation of, or default under, or will be modified, restricted, or precluded by the Leases, the Contracts, or the Permitted Exceptions.

(j) Authorization. Seller is a duly organized and validly existing limited liability company under the laws of the State of Illinois. This Agreement has been duly authorized and executed on behalf of Seller, all necessary action on the part of Seller to authorize the transactions herein contemplated has been taken, and no further action is necessary for such purpose, and this Agreement constitutes the valid and binding agreement of Seller, enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws affecting generally the enforcement of creditor’s rights. Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement nor the consummation of the transaction contemplated hereby will (i) be in violation of Seller’s Articles of Organization or Operating Agreement, (ii) conflict with or result in the breach or violation of any law, regulation, writ, injunction or decree of any court or governmental instrumentality applicable to Seller, or (iii) constitute a breach of any evidence of indebtedness or agreement of which Seller is a party or by which Seller is bound.

(k) Seller Not a Foreign Person. Seller is not a “foreign person” which would subject Purchaser to the withholding tax provisions of Section 1445 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

(l) Licenses. To Seller’s knowledge, Exhibit “F” contains a complete list of all licenses issued by any governmental authority and relating to the Seller’s (and not any tenant’s) operation, ownership and maintenance of the Property or any part thereof including elevator permits, and machinery permits (the “Licenses”). Neither Seller nor any of its agents or employees has received notice (i) of any intention on the part of the issuing authority to cancel, suspend or modify any of the Licenses or to take any action or institute any proceedings to effect such a cancellation, suspension or modification or (ii) that Seller fails to hold any license, franchise, certification, authorization, approval or permit required by any governmental or quasi-governmental authority for the use and operation of the Property by Seller as the same is presently used and operated.

At Closing, Seller shall represent and warrant to Purchaser that all such representations and warranties of Seller in this Agreement remain true and correct as of the date of the Closing, except for any changes in any such representations or warranties that occur and are disclosed by Seller to Purchaser expressly and in writing at any time and from time to time prior to Closing upon their occurrence, which disclosures shall thereafter be updated by Seller to the date of Closing. Each and

all of the express representations and warranties made and given by Seller to Purchaser herein shall survive the execution and delivery of the Special Warranty Deed by Seller to Purchaser for a period of one (1) year after the Closing, except to the extent that a notice of breach of any representation or warranty has been given prior to such expiration. If there is any change in any representations or warranties and Seller does not cure or correct such changes prior to Closing, then Purchaser may, at Purchaser’s option, and as its sole remedy with respect to such matters (i) close and consummate the transaction contemplated by this Agreement, except that after such closing and consummation Purchaser shall have the right to seek monetary damages from Seller for any such changes willfully caused by Seller after the Effective Date or any such representations or warranties willfully breached by Seller, or (ii) terminate this Agreement by written notice to Seller, whereupon the Earnest Money shall be immediately returned to Purchaser, and thereafter the parties hereto shall have no further rights or obligations hereunder, except only (1) for such rights or obligations that, by the express terms hereof, survive any termination of this Agreement and (2) that Purchaser shall have the right to seek monetary damages from Seller for any changes in such representations and warranties willfully caused by Seller after the Effective Date or any such representations and warranties willfully breached by Seller.

References to the “knowledge” of Seller shall refer only to the current actual knowledge of Patrick J. McKillen, without any independent investigation or inquiry.

PROPERTY TO PAST, CURRENT OR FUTURE APPLICABLE ZONING OR BUILDING REQUIREMENTS; OR (L) ANY OTHER ASPECT OR COMPONENT OF THE PROPERTY. WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, PURCHASER HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT UNDERSTANDS AND AGREES THAT SELLER MAKES NO EXPRESS OR IMPLIED REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES OF FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, SUITABILITY, HABITABILITY, AND/OR MERCHANTABILITY WITH RESPECT TO THE PROPERTY OR ANY ASPECT OR CONDITION THEREOF.

PURCHASER HEREBY AGREES THAT SELLER IS NOT LIABLE OR BOUND BY ANY GUARANTEES, PROMISES, STATEMENTS, REPRESENTATIONS, OR INFORMATION PERTAINING TO THE PROPERTY MADE OR FURNISHED BY ANY REAL ESTATE AGENT, BROKER, EMPLOYEE, SERVANT OR OTHER PERSON REPRESENTING OR PURPORTING TO REPRESENT SELLER’S INTERESTS, EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN PARAGRAPH 8 ABOVE. PURCHASER FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT, EXCEPT FOR THE REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES SET FORTH IN PARAGRAPH 8, PURCHASER IS RELYING SOLELY ON ITS OWN INSPECTIONS AND INVESTIGATIONS, IF ANY, WITH RESPECT TO ALL MATTERS REGARDING THE PROPERTY AND ALL ASPECTS AND COMPONENTS THEREOF.

In either case, Purchaser shall assume all responsibility for the security deposits from and after the Closing and Seller shall have no further liability or responsibility therefor.

Purchaser will make a reasonable good faith effort (without any obligation to expend money) after the Closing to collect such delinquent rents in the ordinary course of Purchaser’s operation of the Property. Purchaser agrees that if (i) a Tenant is in arrears on the date of Closing in the payment of rent or other charges under such Tenant’s Lease, and (ii) upon Purchaser’s receipt of any rental or other payment from such Tenant, such Tenant is, or after application of a portion of such payment will be, current under such Lease in the payment of all accrued rental and other charges that become due and payable on the date of Closing or thereafter and in the payment of any other obligations of such Tenant to Purchaser, then Purchaser shall refund to Seller, out of and to the extent of the portion of such payment remaining after Purchaser deducts therefrom any and all sums due and owing it from such Tenant from and after the date of Closing, an amount up to the full amount of any arrearage existing on the date of Closing.

(b) Property Taxes. Seller shall pay all Taxes (as defined below) on the Property payable prior to the Closing and Purchaser shall be responsible for all Taxes on the Property payable on or after the Closing. Taxes payable in 2010 shall be prorated as of the date of Closing based on the actual number of days in the calendar year of Closing and Seller shall receive a credit at Closing for the period from the date of Closing to the last day of the year. As used herein, the term “Taxes” shall mean any and all City, state, county, and school district ad valorem taxes based on the ad valorem tax bills for the Property, if then available, or if not, then on the basis of the latest available tax figures and information. In addition, if after Closing there is an adjustment or reassessment by any governmental authority with respect to, or affecting, any Taxes for the Property payable in the year of Closing or any prior year, any additional tax payment for the Property required to be paid in the year of Closing shall be prorated between Purchaser and Seller and any such additional tax payment for the Property for any year prior to the year of Closing shall be paid by Seller. Subject to the rights of the Tenants under the Leases, Seller shall be entitled to any and all refunds of Taxes attributable to periods for which Seller or its predecessors paid the Taxes. In the event any certiorari or similar proceeding of Seller relating solely to a period prior to the date of Closing continues or is pending after the date of Closing, upon notice to Seller, Purchaser shall be entitled to prosecute or settle such proceeding on Seller’s behalf. This agreement shall expressly survive the Closing.

(c) Utility Charges. Except for utilities which are the direct responsibility of the Tenants to the applicable public or private utilities supplier, Seller shall pay all utility bills received prior to Closing and shall be responsible for utilities furnished to the Property prior to Closing. Purchaser shall be responsible for the payment of all bills for utilities furnished to the Property subsequent to the Closing. Seller and Purchaser hereby agree to prorate as

(d) Contracts. Charges under the Contracts shall be prorated as of Midnight preceding the date of Closing.

(e) Other Tenant Charges. At Closing Seller shall deliver to Purchaser all expense deposits collected from Tenants (other than any relating to Taxes) for the year in which the Closing occurs less only the amount of expenses for such year actually paid by Seller (including those sums properly paid the property manager). Seller shall be responsible for preparing any required expense or Tax pass through reconciliation for each calendar year prior to the calendar year in which the Closing occurs, and if Seller owes any Tenant any funds for the period, Seller shall forthwith pay the same to Purchaser for reimbursement to the Tenant. Purchaser shall be responsible for preparing any required expense or Tax pass through reconciliation for the calendar year in which the Closing occurs. Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to bill Tenants in accordance with their respective Leases for expense or Tax pass throughs for the period of the current calendar year during Seller’s ownership and upon receipt of the same from Tenants shall reimburse Seller for Seller’s proportionate share based on the expenses or Taxes for the respective periods of ownership. Upon Purchaser completing the reconciliation, if Seller owes any Tenant any funds for the period of its ownership, Seller shall forthwith pay the same to Purchaser for reimbursement to the Tenant.

Purchaser shall be entitled to a credit against the Purchase Price for the total sum of any remaining improvement allowances under Leases executed prior to the Effective Date, the payment of which may become the obligation of the landlord or lessor under the Leases after the Closing, but Purchaser shall receive no such credit against the Purchase Price for (i) the BFS Allowance (ii) any improvement allowances payable by the landlord or lessor under the Leases as a result of the exercise by a Tenant on or after the Effective Date of any expansion or extension option in such Tenant’s Lease. Seller shall

receive a credit for the $91,975 improvement allowance paid to Bridgestone Retail Operations, LLC with respect to its expansion into Suite 115.

16. Purchaser’s Default. Except as provided in this Paragraph 16, in the event of default by Purchaser under the terms of this Agreement, Seller’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be to receive the Earnest Money as liquidated damages and thereafter the parties hereto shall have no further rights or obligations hereunder whatsoever. It is hereby agreed that Seller’s damages will be difficult to ascertain and that the Earnest Money constitutes a reasonable liquidation thereof and is intended not as a penalty, but as fully liquidated damages. Seller agrees that in the event of a default by Purchaser, it shall not initiate any proceeding to recover damages from Purchaser, but shall limit its recovery to the receipt and retention of the Earnest Money. The limitations on Purchaser’s liability under this Paragraph 16 shall be inapplicable to the liability of Purchaser for payments, if any, due by Purchaser to Seller under Paragraphs 4, 15, 22 and 29 hereof. However, the foregoing provisions of this Paragraph 16 shall not be deemed to prohibit or limit Seller’s right to seek actual, compensatory damages, post-Closing, with respect to Purchaser’s breach of Purchaser’s representations or warranties under this Agreement, and shall not be deemed to prohibit or limit Seller’s right to seek damages, the remedy of specific performance (other than the right to seek specific performance of the purchase itself), injunction or other appropriate relief with respect to any breach of Purchaser’s obligations under Paragraph 15 or under any provision of this Agreement pursuant to which Purchaser has agreed to indemnify, defend, or hold harmless Seller, its affiliates and/or successors for any matters.

17. Seller’s Default. In the event of default by Seller under the terms of this Agreement, except as otherwise specifically set forth herein, at Purchaser’s option: (i) Purchaser may terminate this Agreement by written notice to Seller, receive the return of the Earnest Money and recover from Seller its actual out-of-pocket costs not to exceed One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000), whereupon the parties hereto shall have no further rights or obligations hereunder whatsoever, except for those rights and obligations which by their terms expressly survive any such termination, (ii) enforce specific performance of Seller’s obligations to execute and deliver to Purchaser the documents required to transfer and convey the Property to Buyer and otherwise perform all of its obligations under this Agreement (together with recovery of all costs and attorneys’ fees incurred in connection with such lawsuit), or (iii) waive the breach and proceed with Closing. The foregoing provisions of this Paragraph 17 shall not be deemed to prohibit or limit Purchaser’s right to seek actual, compensatory damages, post-Closing, with respect to Seller’s breach of Seller’s representations or warranties under this Agreement. Except for payments, if any, due by Seller to Purchaser under Paragraphs 15, 22 and 29 hereof, the parties hereto hereby agree that Seller’s aggregate liability for any actual or alleged default or breach of this Agreement and the conveyance documents to be delivered by Seller pursuant hereto shall not exceed Seven Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($750,000).

18. Condemnation. If, prior to the Closing, all or any part of the Property is subjected to a bona fide threat of condemnation by a body having the power of eminent domain or is taken by eminent domain or condemnation (or sale in lieu thereof), or if Seller has received notice that any condemnation action or proceeding with respect to the Property is contemplated by a body having the power of eminent domain, Seller shall give Purchaser immediate written notice of such

threatened or contemplated condemnation or of such taking or sale, and Purchaser may by written notice to Seller given within thirty (30) days of the receipt of such notice from Seller, elect to cancel this Agreement. If Purchaser chooses to cancel this Agreement in accordance with this Paragraph 18, then the Earnest Money shall be returned immediately to Purchaser and the rights, duties, obligations, and liabilities of the parties hereunder shall immediately terminate and be of no further force and effect except those that expressly survive such termination. If Purchaser does not elect to cancel this Agreement in accordance herewith, this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and the sale of the Property contemplated by this Agreement, less any interest taken by eminent domain or condemnation, or sale in lieu thereof, shall be effected with no further adjustment and without reduction of the Purchase Price, and at the Closing, Seller shall assign, transfer, and set over to Purchaser all of the right, title, and interest of Seller in and to any awards that have been or that may thereafter be made for such taking. At such time as all or a part of the Property is subjected to a bona fide threat of condemnation and Purchaser shall not have elected to terminate this Agreement as hereinabove provided, Purchaser shall be permitted to participate in the proceedings as if Purchaser were a party to the action. Seller shall not settle or agree to any award or payment pursuant to condemnation, eminent domain, or sale in lieu thereof without obtaining Purchaser’s prior written consent thereto in each case.

19. Damage or Destruction. If any of the Improvements shall be destroyed or damaged prior to the Closing, and if either the estimated cost of repair or replacement exceeds Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000.00) or the damage results in the termination of one or more of the Leases, Purchaser may, by written notice given to Seller within twenty (20) days after receipt of written notice from Seller of such damage or destruction, elect to terminate this Agreement, in which event the Earnest Money shall immediately be returned to Purchaser and the rights, duties, obligations, and liabilities of all parties hereunder shall immediately terminate and be of no further force or effect except those that expressly survive such termination. If Purchaser does not elect to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Paragraph 19, or has no right to terminate this Agreement (because the damage or destruction does not exceed Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000.00) and has not resulted in the termination of one or more of the Leases), and the sale of the Property is consummated, Purchaser shall be entitled to receive all insurance proceeds paid or payable to Seller by reason of such destruction or damage under the insurance required to be maintained by Seller pursuant to Paragraph 10 hereof (less amounts of insurance theretofore received and applied by Seller to costs actually incurred for restoration). Seller shall not settle or release any damage or destruction claims without obtaining Purchaser’s prior written consent in each case. All said insurance proceeds received by Seller by the date of Closing shall be paid by Seller to Purchaser at Closing, together with the lesser of (iii) that amount necessary to cover any difference between the amount of such proceeds and the estimated cost of repair or replacement, or (iv) the amount of the deductible under Seller’s property damage insurance policy. In addition, at Closing, Seller shall pay over to Purchaser, and assign to Purchaser, all proceeds of any rent loss insurance for the period of time commencing on the date of Closing, if any. If the amount of said casualty or rent loss insurance proceeds is not settled by the date of Closing, Seller shall execute at Closing all proofs of loss, assignments of claim, and other similar instruments in order that Purchaser receive all of Seller’s right, title, and interest in and under said insurance proceeds.

20. Intentionally Omitted.

21. Assignment. This Agreement and Purchaser’s rights, duties, and obligations hereunder may not be delegated, transferred, or assigned by Purchaser without the prior written consent of Seller, and any assignee or transferee proposed by Purchaser shall expressly assume all of Purchaser’s duties, liabilities and obligations under this Agreement by written instrument delivered to Seller. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, this Agreement, and Purchaser’s rights and duties hereunder, may be freely assigned and transferred to Wells Core Office Income REIT, Inc. (“Core REIT”), or any affiliate of Purchaser or Core REIT. In the event of any such transfer or assignment, Purchaser shall remain liable for the performance of all obligations, covenants, conditions, and agreements imposed upon Purchaser pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

22. Broker’s Commission. Upon the Closing, Seller shall pay any commission owed to Jones Lang LaSalle Americas, Inc. (“Broker”).
