Upon receiving Initial Approval from the Lender, the parties shall cooperate with each other to satisfy the Lender’s requirements consistent with the Loan Documents, including negotiation of an Assumption Agreement required by the Lender in connection with the Mortgage Loan (the “Loan Assumption Agreement”) and other documents reasonably required by the Lender and consistent with the Loan Documents to reflect the assignment and assumption of the Mortgage Loan, including but not limited to the execution and delivery by Purchaser (and where applicable under the Loan Documents CBRE as guarantor and/or indemnitor) of all applications, loan documents and other requirements of Lender consistent with the Loan Documents.

3.3. Interest Bearing. The Deposit shall be invested in a registered money market fund investing exclusively in United States Government Treasuries. To allow the interest bearing account to be opened, Purchaser’s tax identification or social security number is set forth below its signature.

3.4. Escrow Agent.

ARTICLE IV

Closing, Prorations and Closing Costs

4.1 Closing. Subject to the terms of Article 16 herein, the Closing shall occur, not later than 4 p.m. (New York local time) on the date which is fifteen (15) days after the latest to occur of: (i) the expiration of the Feasibility Period, (ii) the Tax Abatement Approval Date (as hereinafter defined), (iii) Purchaser’s receipt notice from Seller of Lender’s Approval, (iv) Purchaser’s receipt of the executed Tenant Estoppel Certificate and Association Estoppel Certificate in the form required herein and (v) the satisfaction, or written waiver by Purchaser, of the conditions to Closing described in Section 10.2, through a customary closing escrow arrangement with the Escrow Agent reasonably acceptable to the parties. “Closing” shall be deemed to occur when the Purchase Price is paid and the Escrow Agent has been instructed by Seller and Purchaser to release escrow and record the Deed. The date of Closing is referred to herein as the “Closing Date.” In the event the Closing does not occur and this Agreement is terminated pursuant to the provisions hereof, the Deposit shall, except as other than as provided in this Agreement with regard to a default or breach by Purchaser, be returned to Purchaser. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary (including specifically, without limitation, the provisions of Section 5.2, Section 5.3 and Section 17.19), if Closing has not occurred on or before March 31, 2011 for any reason other than a default or breach of this Agreement by Purchaser, Purchaser, in its sole discretion, may cancel this Agreement whereupon Purchaser shall be entitled to the return of the Deposit, together with all interest earned thereon.

4.2. Prorations. All matters involving prorations or adjustments to be made in connection with Closing and not specifically provided for in some other provision of this Agreement shall be adjusted in accordance with this Section 4.2.

Except as otherwise set forth herein, all items to be prorated pursuant to this Section 4.2 shall be prorated as of midnight of the day immediately preceding the Closing Date, with Purchaser to be treated as the owner of the Property, for purposes of prorations of income and expenses, on and after the Closing Date.

4.2.1. Taxes. Real estate and personal property taxes (and/or payments in lieu thereof, sometimes referred to as “Pilot Payments”) and special assessments (including, specifically, without limitation, property owner’s association payments), if any, shall be prorated as of the Closing Date. Except to the extent payable by tenants other than affiliates of Seller (herein referred to sometimes as “Third Party Tenants”) of the Property pursuant to their leases, Seller shall pay (or credit to Purchaser at Closing if a bill therefore has not issued) at or prior to Closing all real estate, personal property taxes, Pilot Payments and special assessments (including, specifically, without limitation, property owner’s association payments) attributable to the Property to, but not including, the Closing Date. Special assessments for work completed on or prior to the Closing Date shall be paid by Seller. Special assessments for work completed after the Closing Date shall be paid by Purchaser. If the real estate, Pilot Payments, personal property tax rate and assessments (including, specifically, without limitation, property owner’s association payments), have not been set for the year in which the 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 in cash between Seller and Purchaser upon presentation of written evidence that the actual taxes paid for the year in which the Closing occurs differ from the amounts used in the Closing in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.2.5 hereof. Purchaser acknowledges that land taxes are not abated, but may be included as a credit on, or deduction in the calculation of, Pilot Payments. Any credit on, or deduction on the calculation of, Pilot Payments for land taxes paid by Seller prior to Closing for periods after Closing (including but not limited to credit on, or deduction in the calculation of, Pilot Payments paid after Closing) shall be credited to Seller at Closing. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, to the extent that any payments for real estate taxes (including but not limited to Pilot Payments (including, specifically, without limitation, property owner’s association payments)) have been made prior to Closing by tenants of the Property (either directly or through the application of escrows collected from such tenants by Seller as landlord) covering periods from and after the Closing, such advance payments shall not be credited to Seller at Closing pursuant to this paragraph, but shall be adjusted as between Purchaser and such Third Party Tenants in accordance with the Third Party Tenant’s leases.

4.2.2. Insurance. There shall be no proration of Seller’s insurance premiums or assignment of Seller’s insurance policies.

4.2.3. Utilities and Contracts. Purchaser and Seller hereby acknowledge and agree that the amounts of all telephone, electric, sewer, water and other utility bills, trash removal bills, janitorial and maintenance service bills and all other operating expenses relating to the Property and allocable to the period prior to the Closing Date shall be determined and paid by Seller before Closing, if possible, or shall be paid thereafter by Seller or adjusted between Purchaser and Seller immediately after the same have been determined. Seller shall attempt to have all utility meters read as of the Closing Date. Purchaser shall cause all utility services to be placed in Purchaser’s name, or the name of the tenants of the Property, as of the Closing Date. If

permitted by the applicable utilities, all utility deposits in Seller’s name shall be assigned to Purchaser as of the Closing Date and Seller shall receive a credit therefore at Closing. Amounts payable and/or paid pursuant to all service, equipment, supply and maintenance contracts regarding the Property (collectively, the “Contracts”), if assumed by Purchaser at Closing, shall be apportioned as of Closing. If the Contracts are assigned to Purchaser, Seller shall be responsible for all matters attributable to the period prior to Closing and indemnify Purchaser for such matters and Purchaser shall be responsible for all matters attributable to the period following Closing and shall indemnify Seller for such matters. The Contracts, shall, if requested by Purchaser upon not less than thirty (30) business days prior written notice to Seller prior to the Closing Date, be terminated by Seller effective as of the Closing. All Contracts not terminated shall be assigned by Seller to Purchaser and assumed by Purchaser at Closing. Those two (2) certain Management Agreements entered into between Seller and Hartz Mountain Industries Inc. each dated May 8, 2003 shall be terminated by Seller effective as of the Closing Date.

4.2.4. Rents. Rents (including, without limitation, estimated pass-through payments, payments for parking, payments for common area maintenance reconciliations and all additional charges payable by tenants under the Leases) (collectively, “Rents”) through the end of the month in which Closing occurs shall be prorated as of the Closing Date. During the period after Closing, Purchaser shall deliver to Seller any and all Rents accrued but uncollected as of the Closing Date to the extent subsequently collected by Purchaser within five (5) business days of receipt of such Rents; provided, however, Purchaser shall apply Rents received after Closing first to payment of current Rent then due, and thereafter to delinquent Rents (other than “true up” payments received from tenants attributable to a year-end reconciliation of actual and budgeted pass-through payments which shall be allocated among Seller and Purchaser pro rata in accordance with their respective period of ownership as set forth in Section 4.2.5 below). Purchaser agrees that it shall use commercially reasonable efforts to collect all pass-through rents payable by tenants and any delinquent Rents (provided, however, that Purchaser shall have no obligation to institute legal proceedings, including an action for unlawful detainer, against a tenant owing delinquent Rents).

4.2.5. Calculations. For purposes of calculating prorations, Purchaser shall be deemed to be in title to the Property, and, therefore entitled to the income therefrom and responsible for the expenses thereof for the entire day upon which the Closing occurs. All such prorations shall be made on the basis of the actual number of days of the month which shall have elapsed as of the day of the Closing and based upon the actual number of days in the month and a three hundred sixty five (365) day year. The amount of such prorations shall be initially performed at Closing but shall be subject to adjustment in cash after the Closing as and when complete and accurate information becomes available, if such information is not available at the Closing. Seller and Purchaser agree to cooperate and use their best efforts to make such adjustments no later than sixty (60) days after the Closing (or as soon thereafter as may be practicable, with respect to common area maintenance, payments for parking and other additional rent charges (including without limitation, pass-throughs for real estate and personal property taxes, Pilot Payments, assessments and special assessments) payable by Third Party Tenants under their leases). Except as set forth in this Section 4.2, all items of income and expense which accrue for the period prior to the Closing will be for the account of Seller and all items of income and expense which accrue for the period on and after the Closing will be for the account of Purchaser.

4.2.6. Leasing Commissions and Leasing Costs. Seller shall be responsible for all leasing and brokerage commissions with respect to the current lease terms of Leases executed prior to the Effective Date. There are no leasing commission agreements which would bind the Purchaser after the Closing.

4.2.7. Prepaid Items. The following prepaid annual inspection and permit fees and other fees shall be apportioned between the Seller and the Purchaser at Closing: None.

4.2.8. Tax and Repair Escrows. At Closing, all escrows with the Lender, except as provided in Section 4.2.6, shall be pro-rated and Seller shall receive either (a) a return of its portion of any escrows established with Lender for repairs, taxes and insurance, or (b) a credit from Purchaser for its portion of such escrows.

4.2.9. Colgate Center Property Owners Association. All payments and deposits with respect to the Property with the Colgate Center Property Owner’s Association shall be prorated as of the Closing Date.

4.2.10. Other Prorations. All other items of income and expense, if any, commonly pro-rated and adjusted in Hudson County, New Jersey commercial real estate closings including, without limitation, interest on the Mortgage Loan shall be apportioned between Purchaser and Seller at Closing.

The provisions of Section 4.2 shall survive the Closing.

4.3. Closing Costs. Seller shall pay any realty transfer tax or fee payable by sellers pursuant to applicable law in connection with the conveyance of the Real Property to Purchaser, including, without limitation, the realty transfer taxes payable under N.J.S.A. 45:15-7 and N.J.S.A. 45:15-7.1, as amended. Seller shall pay any realty transfer tax or fee payable by buyers under applicable law in connection with the conveyance of the Real Property to Purchaser, including but not limited to any tax or fee pursuant to Chapter 33 of the Laws of 2006 (NJSA 45:15-7.2), as amended, the so-called “Mansion Tax”, and all title charges and premiums, and the fees for recording the Deed. Purchaser shall pay the title insurance premiums for a title insurance policy issued by the Title Company (as hereinafter defined) pursuant to the Commitment (as hereinafter defined) as set forth in Section 10.3.5 hereof. Purchaser shall pay all costs associated with Purchaser’s due diligence. Each party shall be responsible for its own attorney’s fees. Any escrow fees charged by the Escrow Agent to accommodate an escrow closing shall be shared equally by Purchaser and Seller.

4.4. Bulk Sales Tax. Purchaser shall have the right to comply with N.J.S.A. 54:32B-22(c) and N.J.S.A. 54:50-38 by delivering a Notification of Sale, Transfer, or Assignment in Bulk (Form C-9600) (the “Tax Notification”) to the Director of the Division of Taxation of the State of New Jersey Department of the Treasury (the “Director”) by registered or certified mail or overnight delivery at least ten (10) days prior to Closing. Seller shall cooperate in connection with such compliance and shall provide all information necessary for Purchaser to complete the

Tax Notification, including, but not limited to, completion and filing of the Asset Transfer Tax Declaration Form (Form TTD) with the Director. If the Director informs Purchaser that a possible claim for taxes, including any interest and penalties thereon, exists (the “Claim”) and the maximum amount thereof (the “Deficiency”), then Purchaser and Seller shall Close as scheduled and without delay, and Purchaser shall withhold the portion of the Purchase Price equal to the amount of the Deficiency (the “Tax Escrow”), which Tax Escrow shall be held pursuant to an escrow agreement with the Bulk Sales Tax Escrowee (as hereinafter defined) in a form reasonably acceptable to Purchaser and Seller. The escrowee with respect to the Bulk Sales Tax Escrow shall be the Escrow Agent (“Bulk Sales Tax Escrowee”). If, after Closing, the Director directs payment of all or any portion of the Deficiency on behalf of Seller, then Purchaser shall direct Bulk Sales Tax Escrowee to release to the Division of Taxation such amount from the Tax Escrow. If the Director informs Purchaser that the Deficiency has been fully paid or that Purchaser has no further liability for the Deficiency, then Purchaser shall direct Bulk Sales Tax Escrowee to release such difference to Seller. If the Director gives notice to Purchaser that Seller is liable for taxes, including interest and penalties thereon, in an amount that is greater than the Tax Escrow, Seller shall promptly pay the difference to the Division of Taxation and shall provide Purchaser with evidence thereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Seller shall have the right to negotiate with the Director regarding the Claim and the Deficiency; provided, however, that (i) Purchaser and Bulk Sales Tax Escrowee shall be entitled to comply with all instructions of the Director, (ii) the Closing shall not be delayed as a result thereof. Under no circumstances shall Closing occur until the Seller and Purchaser are in receipt of a direction letter from the Director.

ARTICLE V

Purchaser’s Right of Inspection; Feasibility Period; Contingencies

5.1. Right to Evaluate. Commencing on the Effective Date and continuing until 5:00 PM (New York local time) on the date which is the ten (10) business days following the Effective Date (the “Feasibility Period”), Purchaser and its agents shall have the right during business hours (with reasonable advance notice to Seller and subject to the rights of the tenants in possession), at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense and at Purchaser’s and its agents’ sole risk, to perform inspections and tests of the Property and to perform such other analyses, inquiries and investigations as Purchaser shall deem necessary or appropriate including without limitation, engineering studies, Phase I environmental studies, lease reviews, tenant credit reviews and tenant interviews (herein the “Inspections”); provided, however, that in no event shall (i) such inspections or tests unreasonably disrupt or disturb the on-going operation of the Property or the rights of the tenants at the Property, or (ii) Purchaser or its agents or representatives conduct any physical testing, drilling, boring, sampling or removal of, on or through the surface of the Property (or any part or portion thereof) including, without limitation, any ground borings or invasive testing of the land, building or improvements (collectively, “Physical Testing”), without Seller’s prior written consent, which consent may be given or withheld in Seller’s reasonable discretion. In the event Purchaser desires to conduct any such Physical Testing of the Property, then Purchaser shall submit to Seller, for Seller’s approval, a written detailed description of the scope and extent of the proposed Physical Testing, which approval may be given or withheld in Seller’s reasonable discretion. In no event shall Seller be obligated as a

condition of this transaction to perform or pay for any environmental remediation of the Property recommended by any such Physical Testing. After making such tests and inspections, Purchaser agrees to promptly restore the Property to a condition comparable to its condition prior to such tests and inspections (which obligation shall survive any termination of this Agreement). Prior to Purchaser entering the Property to conduct the inspections and tests described above, Purchaser shall obtain and maintain, at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense, and shall deliver to Seller evidence of, the following insurance coverage, and shall cause each of its agents and contractors to obtain and maintain, and, upon request of Seller, shall deliver to Seller evidence of, the following insurance coverage: general liability insurance, from an insurer reasonably acceptable to Seller, in the amount of One Million and No/100 Dollars ($1,000,000.00) combined single limit for personal injury and property damage per occurrence, such policy to name Seller as an additional insured party, which insurance shall provide coverage against any claim for personal liability or property damage caused by Purchaser or its agents, employees or contractors in connection with such inspections and tests. Seller shall have the right, in its discretion, to accompany Purchaser and/or its agents during any inspection provided Seller or its agents do not unreasonably interfere with Purchaser’s inspection. Seller shall continue to permit Purchaser access to the Property after the expiration of the Feasibility Period through Closing if requested by Purchaser in connection with Purchaser’s Inspections; however such additional period of access, if any, shall not extend the Feasibility Period. Purchaser and its agents shall use their reasonable efforts not to disrupt the on-going operation of the Property or the rights of the tenants at the Property.

5.1.1 Purchaser’s Feasibility Period Determination to Terminate or to Proceed. Purchaser agrees to provide written notice to Seller and Escrow Agent before the end of the Feasibility Period if it does not desire to acquire the Property for any reason or for no reason in its sole discretion (herein, the “Purchaser Termination Notice”). Notwithstanding anything contained in Section 17.1 to the contrary, such Purchaser Termination Notice may be sent via e-mail (and/or such other acceptable mode of transmission pursuant to Section 17.1), so as to be received by Seller before the end of the Feasibility Period. In the event that Purchaser shall elect to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 5.1, subject to the Surviving Termination Obligations (as hereinafter defined), this Agreement shall terminate, the Deposit (including the interest thereon) shall promptly be delivered to Purchaser and thereupon neither party shall have any further rights or obligations to the other hereunder. If Purchaser shall fail to timely notify Seller in writing of its determination under this Section 5.1 on or before the expiration of the Feasibility Period, time being of the essence, Purchaser shall be deemed to have waived its right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to the terms of this Section 5.1.

5.2. Tax Abatement Transfer Contingency. If the Tax Abatement Approval (as defined in Section 10.3.1 hereof) is not granted and the Tax Abatement Approval Date (as defined in Section 10.3.1 hereof) does not occur on or before March 31, 2011 (the period from the expiration date of the Feasibility Period through and including March 31, 2011 being referred to herein as the “Additional Condition Period”), then Seller and Purchaser shall each have the right to terminate this Agreement upon notice to the other party at any time thereafter and prior to the Tax Abatement Approval Date. Unless Seller elects (in its sole discretion) to waive this condition, if the City of Jersey City fails or refuses to release Seller and its affiliates from any of their obligations with respect to the Tax Abatement with regard to the Property accruing after the Closing Date, then the Tax Abatement Approval Date shall be deemed not to have occurred.

5.3. Mortgage Loan Assumption Contingency. If Lender does not deliver the Lender’s Approval on or before the expiration of the Additional Condition Period, then Seller and Purchaser shall each have the right to terminate this Agreement upon notice to the other party at any time thereafter and prior to the date Lender consents to the Loan Assignment and Assumption. If Lender fails or refuses to release Seller and any of its Seller Related Entities from any of their obligations with respect to the Mortgage Loan (including but not limited to any non-recourse carve-outs or guaranties or indemnifications) as required pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents accruing after the Closing Date, then Lender shall be deemed not to have given the Lender’s Approval.

Any title exception identified in the Commitment or matter disclosed on the Existing Survey (or the New Survey if the New Survey is provided to Purchaser four (4) days prior to the expiration of the Feasibility Period) not disapproved in writing in Purchaser’s Title and Survey Objection Notice within said time period shall be deemed approved by Purchaser and shall constitute a “Permitted Exception” hereunder.

Without Seller’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, Purchaser, prior to the date of Closing, shall not make any application to any governmental agency for any permit, approval, license or other entitlement for the Property or the use or development thereof.

(d) If Purchaser, subsequent to the expiration of the Feasibility Period, but prior to Closing, discovers (i) any new title exceptions which are not otherwise set forth in the Commitment and/or Existing Survey which in Purchaser’s reasonable discretion have a material adverse effect on the economic operations of the Property and/or the marketability and/or financeability of the Property (other than matters created by Purchaser, its agents or consultants) (herein a “New Title Exception”), or (ii) if the New Survey is not provided to Purchaser prior to four (4) business days prior to the expiration of the Feasibility Period, any new survey matters which appear on the New Survey but did not appear on the Existing Survey or in the Commitment, which in Purchaser’s reasonable discretion have a material adverse effect on the economic operations of the Property and/or the marketability and/or financeability of the Property (other than matters created by Purchaser, its agents or consultants) (herein a “New Survey Exception”), Purchaser shall, within five (5) business days of Purchaser’s discovery of such New Title Exception, and with respect to any New Survey Exception, within four (4) business days of Purchaser’s receipt of the New Survey, but in no event with respect to any New Title Exception, or New Survey Exception, later than five (5) business days prior to the scheduled Closing Date (except in regard to said matters discovered during the seven (7) business days prior to the scheduled Closing Date shall not be required to provide notice five (5) business days prior to the scheduled Closing Date, but shall be required provide prior notice), deliver to Seller a subsequent notice setting forth any such matters to which Purchaser objects.

Purchaser’s failure to give such notice shall be deemed an election to waive the disapproval of any such objection. In the event Purchaser elects to terminate this Agreement in accordance with clause (x) above, the Deposit (including the interest thereon) shall be immediately refunded to Purchaser. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in no event shall Seller be obligated to remove or cure any title exceptions or survey matters, except only that Seller shall be obligated to remove (or cause the Title Company to affirmatively insure against) at Seller’s sole cost and expense (i) any mortgages and/or deeds of trust (other than the Mortgage Loan which is the subject to assumption by Purchaser), and (ii) any other voluntary monetary liens (other than insured or bonded liens or claims) created by Seller, whether or not shown on the Commitment, without the requirement that Purchaser notify Seller of such matters or that the same are objections to title (collectively, the “Seller Title Cure Obligations”).

10.3.1. Tax Abatement. (a) Upon expiration of the Feasibility Period, Seller (and/or a Seller Affiliate, as applicable) and Purchaser shall promptly and jointly make application to the City of Jersey City for the transfer of the existing tax abatement on the Property set forth in the Financial Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit K (herein the “Tax Abatement Agreement”) and the related resolutions (herein the “Tax Abatement”) to Purchaser (the “Tax Exemption Application”; for purposes hereof “Tax Exemption Application” shall also include any application for a new or amended Tax Abatement if required by the City of Jersey City). The approval of the Tax Exemption Application by the City of Jersey City for such transfer by resolution of the City Council of Jersey City is referred to herein as the “Tax Abatement Approval” and the date that the Tax Abatement Approval shall become final, and the appeals period applicable thereto shall have expired (unless such appeals period is waived by the parties hereto) is herein referred to as the “Tax Abatement Approval Date”. Seller and Purchaser acknowledge that any lease/sublease structure required of Purchaser in order for Purchaser to preserve and or qualify for a continuing Tax Abatement applicable to the Property, shall be the sole responsibility of Purchaser except that Seller shall convey its existing leasehold interests, as landlord and tenant, as necessary for Purchaser to maintain a qualifying structure. Purchaser covenants and agrees to provide to Seller no later than the date which is thirty (30) days after the date of this Agreement copies of any and all applications and other documentation required of Purchaser and its Tax Exemption Entity (as hereinafter defined), as described in subsection (b) below, in order to make application to the City of Jersey City as contemplated in this Section 10.3.1. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Purchaser and Seller shall each, where practicable, be entitled to have a representative present in connection with all communications between the other and the City of Jersey City in regard to

the Tax Abatement Period whether in person, electronic or telephonic and each shall, where practicable, provide at least twenty-four (24) hours notice (which notice may be telephonic, email or fax) to the other of any such telephonic or in person meetings.

(b) The recipient of the tax exemption to be sought pursuant to said Tax Exemption Application (if other than the named Purchaser), shall be a to-be-formed urban renewal entity who shall be an Affiliate of Purchaser and shall otherwise possess all other qualifications required in order to be a recipient of a tax abatement in the City of Jersey City (herein referred to sometimes as the “Tax Exemption Entity” or “RT 70 Hudson Urban Renewal, LLC”). Each of Purchaser and/or the Tax Exemption Entity and Seller shall be responsible for all aspects of the filing of the Tax Exemption Application applicable to it including all disclosure requirements that may apply to a prospective assignment, if any. If this Agreement shall be terminated, then, at Seller’s option, Purchaser shall either (A) formally withdraw the Tax Exemption Application or (B) assign all its right, title and interest therein to Seller or its designee. Seller shall participate with Purchaser, and any Tax Exemption Entity, in the prosecution and negotiation of the Tax Exemption Application and the procuring of approval therefor. Each of Seller and Purchaser shall be responsible for their own legal and other costs related to the Tax Exemption Application and the prosecution and negotiation thereof and procuring of approval therefor. The Seller and Purchaser acknowledge that the Financial Agreement does not provide for the payment a transfer fee. The provisions of this Section 10.3.1 (b) shall survive the Closing or the termination of this Agreement. Unless Seller elects (in its sole discretion) by written notice to Purchaser to waive this provision, Tax Abatement Approval shall be deemed not to have been granted if such Tax Abatement Approval increases the obligations of Seller or imposes any new obligations upon Seller. Seller and Purchaser shall use their collective reasonable efforts to seek and obtain the Tax Abatement Approval contemplated in subsection (a) and (b) above.

For the purposes hereof, “Person” shall mean a natural person or persons, a partnership, a corporation, a limited liability company or any other form of business or legal association or entity.

For the purposes hereof “Affiliate of Seller” or “Seller Affiliate” shall mean any Person owning or controlling Seller, or under common ownership or control with or by Seller.

10.3.2. Tax Abatement Transfer Contingency. The obligations of Purchaser to purchase and Seller to convey under this Agreement are contingent upon the receipt of the Tax Abatement Approval (as defined in Section 10.3.1 hereof) within the Additional Condition Period.

10.3.3. Mortgage Loan Assumption Contingency. The obligations of Purchaser and Seller to close under this Agreement are contingent upon (i) Lender consenting to the transfer of the Property to Purchaser and the assignment by Seller, and assumption by Purchaser, of the Mortgage Loan on the terms provided in the Loan Documents and as provided by the terms of this Agreement (the “Loan Assignment and Assumption”); and (ii) Lender closing

upon the Loan Assignment and Assumption consistent with the terms of the Loan Assignment and Assumption approved by the Lender upon Closing (collectively, the “Financing Contingency”). Provided however that the failure to satisfy the Financing Contingency as a result of Purchaser’s or Seller’s failure to provide information reasonably requested by the Lender or failure to execute and deliver any documentation or perform any of its other obligations under this Agreement with regard to Loan Assignment and Assumption, so long as such obligations are consistent with the Loan Documents, shall not be deemed to excuse failing party from its obligations under this Agreement.

10.3.3.1. Requirements of Loan Documents. In connection with the Loan Assignment and Assumption and at Closing (or at Purchaser’s option before Closing), Purchaser shall, at no cost or expense to Lender or Seller, execute such documents and take such actions as Lender may reasonably require, consistent with the Loan Documents, including but not limited to, if required by the Lender, (i) create a special purpose entity owned and controlled by Purchaser or an Affiliate of Purchaser to take title to the Property and assume the Mortgage Loan (subject to the terms of this Agreement); (ii) deliver an insolvency opinion with respect to Purchaser; (iii) provide CBRE Operating Partnership, L.P. a Delaware limited partnership (“CBRE”), as a guarantor to Lender to execute and deliver to Lender a replacement guaranty and environmental indemnity agreement materially consistent with the Loan Documents and substantially on the same terms and conditions as set forth in the documents executed in connection with the Mortgage Loan; (iv) provide a pledge of the membership interests in the borrower to Lender pursuant to a replacement pledge agreement materially consistent with the Loan Documents and substantially on the same terms and conditions as set forth in the documents executed in connection with the Mortgage Loan; and (v) enter into a replacement management agreement with respect to the Property.

10.3.4. Cooperation. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, Seller and Purchaser shall reasonably cooperate with one another and with Lender and shall use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a satisfaction of the Financing Contingency. Seller and Purchaser shall, subject to the terms of this Agreement, execute and deliver any and all documents and information reasonably required by Lender and consistent with the Loan Documents in connection with the satisfaction of the Financing Contingency, including, but not limited to, financial reports, property management reports, income statements, assignment agreements, financing statements, estoppel certificates and releases; provided however that nothing contained herein shall obligate Seller to expand its liabilities or obligations in connection with the Mortgage Loan. Seller and Purchaser shall keep each other reasonably apprised of the status of the approval process. Within five (5) days after receipt of any written correspondence, document or other material from Lender (or any agent or servicer of Lender) relating to the Loan Assignment and Assumption (and/or Lender’s consent thereto), Seller or Purchaser, as the case may be, shall send a true, correct and complete copy of such correspondence, document or other material to the other party hereunder. Simultaneously with submitting any application, correspondence, document or other material to Lender (or any agent or servicer of Lender) in connection with obtaining Lender’s consent to the Loan Assignment and Assumption, Seller or Purchaser, as the case may be, shall forward a true, correct and complete copy of such information to the other party hereunder; provided, however, at least five (5) days before making any material submission to Lender (or any agent or servicer of Lender) in connection with obtaining Lender’s consent to the

Loan Assignment and Assumption (including, without limitation, any applications), Seller or Purchaser, as the case may be, shall forward a true, correct and complete copy of such material submission to the other party hereunder for review and comment. Within five (5) days after receipt of such proposed submission, the receiving party (Seller or Purchaser, as the case may be) shall notify the other party of any objections thereto, which notice shall specify in reasonable detail the basis for any such objection. Neither party shall unreasonably withhold, condition or delay its approval of any such submission. If either party fails to object to a submission within the five (5) day period set forth above, then such party shall be deemed to have waived its right to object to such submission pursuant to this Section 10.3.4. All documentation submitted to Purchaser or Seller, or each of their representatives, by the other party pursuant to this Section 10.3.4 shall be treated as confidential information. Seller and Purchaser shall not disclose any information obtained by it from the other party, including, without limitation, any financial statements, except that the parties may disclose such information to its consultants and attorneys engaged in the review of same in connection with the Loan Assignment and Assumption. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller and Purchaser shall each have the right to disclose confidential information to third parties if such disclosure is required by an order of a court of competent jurisdiction or as otherwise described in Section 15.1. Seller acknowledges that Purchaser may, at no cost or expense to Seller, request Lender’s consent to non-material modifications to the Loan Documents to facilitate ownership of the Property by Purchaser or its assign in the event Purchaser or its assign is or may be a REIT; provided however that nothing contained in this sentence shall be construed as Seller’s consent to any modifications of the Loan Documents or the Mortgage Loan requested by Purchaser or any modifications which would adversely affect the Closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or impose additional obligations on Seller or any Seller Related Entities.

10.3.5. Fees. Seller shall, subject to the provisions of this Agreement, including but not limited to Section 10.3.3, pay, as and when required by Lender (or any agent or servicer of Lender) any and all fees, costs and expenses reasonably demanded by Lender in connection with the satisfaction of the Financing Contingency (other than the establishment or replacement of escrows and similar deposits), including, but not limited to, amounts due pursuant to the Mortgage executed in connection with the Mortgage Loan.

Risk of Loss

12.1. Condemnation and Casualty. If, prior to the Closing Date, all or any portion of the Property is taken by condemnation or eminent domain, or is destroyed or damaged by fire or other casualty, Seller shall notify Purchaser of such fact promptly after Seller obtains knowledge thereof. If such condemnation or casualty is “Material” (as hereinafter defined), Purchaser shall have the option to terminate this Agreement upon notice to Seller and Escrow Agent given not later than fifteen (15) days after receipt of Seller’s notice, or the Closing Date, whichever is earlier. If this Agreement is terminated, the Deposit (including the interest thereon) shall promptly be returned to Purchaser and thereafter neither Seller nor Purchaser shall have any further rights or obligations to the other hereunder except with respect to the Surviving Termination Obligations. If this Agreement is not terminated, Seller shall not be obligated to repair any damage or destruction but (x) Seller shall assign, without recourse, and turn over to Purchaser all of the insurance proceeds or condemnation proceeds, as applicable, net of any costs of repairs and net of reasonable collection costs, in either case to the extent actually incurred or expended by Seller (or, if such have not been awarded, all of its right, title and interest therein) payable with respect to such fire or other casualty or condemnation including any rent abatement insurance for such casualty or condemnation and (y) the parties shall proceed to Closing pursuant to the terms hereof without abatement of the Purchase Price except for a credit to Purchaser in the amount of the applicable insurance deductible.

12.2. Condemnation Not Material. If the condemnation is not Material, then the Closing shall occur without abatement of the Purchase Price and, after deducting Seller’s reasonable costs and expenses incurred in collecting any award, Seller shall assign, without recourse, all remaining awards or any rights to collect awards to Purchaser on the Closing Date.

12.3. Casualty Not Material. If the Casualty is not Material, then the Closing shall occur without abatement of the Purchase Price except for a credit to Purchaser in the amount of the applicable deductible and Seller shall not be obligated to repair such damage or destruction and Seller shall assign, without recourse, and turn over to Purchaser all of the insurance proceeds net of any costs of repairs and net of reasonable collection costs, in either case to the extent actually incurred or expended by Seller (or, if such have not been awarded, all of its right, title and interest therein) payable with respect to such fire or such casualty including any rent abatement insurance for such casualty.

12.4. Materiality. For purposes of this Article XII, with respect to a taking by eminent domain, the term “Material” shall mean any taking whatsoever, regardless of the amount of the award or the amount of the Property taken, excluding, however, any taking solely of subsurface rights or takings for utility easements or right of way easements, if the surface of the Property and the Improvements thereon, after such taking, may be used in substantially the same manner as though such rights had not been taken. For purposes of this Article XII, with respect to a casualty, the term “Material” shall mean any casualty (i) such that the cost of repair, as reasonably estimated by Seller’s and Purchaser’s third-party engineers, is in excess of Five Million ($5,000,000.00) Dollars or (ii) pursuant to which casualty a tenant of Seller under one of the Leases of office space at the Real Property terminates its Lease of the Property pursuant to the terms thereof.

ARTICLE XIII

Default

13.1. Default by Seller. If Seller shall be in default of any material obligation, representation or warranty under this Agreement and such default is not cured or remedied within thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice thereof given by Purchaser to Seller (except in regard to Seller’s obligation to deliver the Deed at Closing in regard to which Seller shall only be entitled to ten (10) business days notice), at Purchaser’s election, Purchaser shall either (i) terminate this Agreement and receive the Deposit (including the interest thereon) from the Escrow Agent and Seller shall pay all of Purchaser’s reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement, including reasonable legal fees paid by Purchaser in connection with the preparation and negotiation of this Agreement, up to a maximum of Fifty Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($50,000.00) and in such event Seller shall not have any liability whatsoever to Purchaser hereunder other than with respect to the Surviving Termination Obligations, or (ii) enforce specific performance of this Agreement of the obligations of Seller hereunder and/or, subject to the limitations below in this subsection 13.1, to seek damages. Except as otherwise provided herein, nothing contained in this paragraph 13.1 shall limit Purchaser’s remedies at law or in equity, as to the Surviving Termination Obligations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, Purchaser shall only be entitled to pursue an action for actual damages in the event of a Seller misrepresentation, failure or default if the failure, default or misrepresentation renders specific performance inadequate or unavailable. Seller shall in no event be responsible for or liable for any consequential, special or indirect, speculative or punitive damages in any actions.

13.2. Default by Purchaser. In the event the Closing and the transactions contemplated hereby do not occur as provided herein by reason of the default of Purchaser, Purchaser and Seller agree it would be impractical and extremely difficult to fix the damages which Seller may suffer. Therefore the Deposit shall be liquidated damages for Purchaser’s default and failure to complete the purchase of the Property; provided however that nothing contained herein shall be construed as relieving Purchaser of any of its Surviving Termination Obligations. Upon such default by Purchaser, Seller shall have the right, upon written notice to the Escrow Agent and Purchaser pursuant to Section 17.15.3 hereof, to receive the Deposit (including the interest thereon) from the Escrow Agent. Purchaser shall in no event be responsible for or liable for any consequential, special or indirect, speculative or punitive damages in any actions, in excess of said Deposit.

ARTICLE XIV

Brokers

14.1. Brokers. Purchaser and Seller each represents and warrants to the other that it has not dealt with any person or entity entitled to a brokerage commission, finder’s fee or other compensation with respect to the transaction contemplated hereby other than Cushman &

Wakefield of New Jersey, Inc., whose compensation shall be the sole responsibility of Seller, and who shall be paid only upon the Closing of the purchase and sale contemplated hereby pursuant to a separate agreement. Purchaser hereby agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold Seller harmless from and against any losses, damages, costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, attorneys’ fees and costs) incurred by Seller by reason of any breach or inaccuracy of the Purchaser’s representations and warranties contained in this Article XIV. Seller hereby agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold Purchaser harmless from and against any losses, damages, costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, attorneys’ fees and costs) incurred by Purchaser by reason of any breach or inaccuracy of Seller’s representations and warranties contained in this Article XIV. Seller and Purchaser agree that it is their specific intent that no broker shall be a party to or a third party beneficiary of this Agreement or the Deposit, that no broker shall have any rights or cause of action hereunder, and further that the consent of a broker shall not be necessary to any agreement, amendment, or document with respect to the transaction contemplated by this Agreement. The provisions of this Article XIV shall survive the Closing and/or termination of this Agreement.

ARTICLE XV

Confidentiality

15.1. Confidentiality. Purchaser expressly acknowledges and agrees that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the documents that are not otherwise known by or readily available to the public and the terms, conditions and negotiations concerning the same shall be held in the strictest confidence by Purchaser and shall not be disclosed by Purchaser except if Purchaser or its directors, officers, employees, consultants and advisors are requested to provide information pursuant to an audit, investigation or inspection by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, FINRA, or other similar regulatory body, and as a result of any such request or requirement, Purchaser or Purchaser’s directors, officers, employees, consultants and advisors is, in the opinion of counsel, required to disclose information or else stand liable for contempt or other censure or penalty, then such information may be disclosed without liability (the “Authorized Representatives”), and except and only to the extent that such disclosure may be necessary for its performance hereunder. Purchaser agrees that it shall instruct each of its Authorized Representatives to maintain the confidentiality of such information and at the request of Seller, to promptly inform Seller of the identity of each such Authorized Representative. Purchaser further acknowledges and agrees that, unless and until the Closing occurs, all information and materials obtained by Purchaser in connection with the Property that are not otherwise known by or readily available to the public will not be disclosed by Purchaser to any third persons (other than to its Authorized Representatives) without the prior written consent of Seller, provided, however, such restriction shall not apply to information which (i) was or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure by Purchaser or Purchaser’s directors, officers, employees, consultants and advisors or (ii) was or becomes available to Purchaser on a non-confidential basis from a source other than Seller or its affiliates or representatives; provided that the source was not prohibited from disclosing such information by a legal, contractual or fiduciary obligation; (iii) is rightfully in Purchaser’s possession and is part of Purchaser’s general knowledge; or (iv) is the subject of express written permission to disclose to such party by Seller. If the transaction contemplated by this Agreement does not

occur for any reason whatsoever, Purchaser shall promptly return to Seller, and shall instruct its Authorized Representatives to return to Seller, all copies and originals of all documents and information provided to Purchaser except that in no event shall Purchaser be required to return any information provided in an electronic format including specifically any information on Purchaser’s systems (provided however that Purchaser shall not use or permit the use of such information for any purpose other than in connection with the purchase of the Property from Seller and provided such information shall be held pursuant to the terms of this Agreement notwithstanding the expiration or termination of the term hereof.). Nothing contained in this Section 15.1 shall preclude or limit either party from disclosing or accessing any information otherwise deemed confidential under this Section 15.1 in connection with the party’s enforcement of its rights following a disagreement hereunder or in response to lawful process or subpoena or other valid or enforceable order of a court of competent jurisdiction or any filings with governmental authorities required by law (as above provided), required by reason of the transactions provided for herein. Additionally, notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Purchaser and Purchaser’s directors, officers, employees, consultants and advisors may keep any information in its files and/or back-up tapes solely to comply with any legal, compliance or security policies, provided such information shall be held pursuant to the terms of this Agreement notwithstanding the expiration or termination of the term hereof. The provisions of this Section 15.1 shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

Whenever reference is made in this Agreement to Seller or Purchaser, such reference shall include the successors and assigns of such party under this Agreement.

This Agreement shall not be construed more strictly against one party than against the other merely by virtue of the fact that it may have been prepared by counsel for one of the parties, it being recognized that both Seller and Purchaser have contributed substantially and materially to the preparation of this Agreement.

17.10. Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the Exhibits attached hereto contain the final and entire agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the sale and purchase of the Property and are intended to be an integration of all prior negotiations and understandings, including, without limitation, the Letter of Intent accepted by Seller dated as of September 15, 2010. Purchaser, Seller and their agents shall not be bound by any terms, conditions, statements, warranties or representations, oral or written, not contained herein. No change or modifications to this Agreement shall be valid unless the same is in writing and signed by the parties hereto. Each party reserves the right to waive any of the terms or conditions of this Agreement which are for their respective benefit and to consummate the transaction contemplated by this Agreement in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement which have not been so waived. Any such waiver must be in writing signed by the party for whose benefit the provision is being waived.

17.11. Severability. If any one or more of the provisions hereof shall for any reason be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision hereof, and this Agreement shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein.

17.12. Survival. Except as otherwise specifically provided for herein, the provisions of this Agreement and the representations and warranties herein shall not survive after the conveyance of title and payment of the Purchase Price but be merged therein. Except as

otherwise specifically provided for herein (collectively, the “Surviving Termination Obligations”), the provisions of this Agreement shall not survive the termination of this Agreement.

17.13. Time. Time is of the essence in the performance of each of the parties’ respective obligations contained herein, provided, however, that neither Purchaser nor Seller shall be deemed to be in default hereunder for failure to close on the scheduled Closing Date unless and until the party failing to close shall have been given written notice fixing a new date for the proposed Closing, not less than fifteen (15) days thereafter, and such party to whom notice is given shall fail to perform on or before such rescheduled Closing Date.

17.14. Limitation of Liability. In any event, Seller’s maximum liability for damages arising out of any breach of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement or the representations and warranties of Seller contained herein, or arising out of or from the transactions contemplated hereby, shall not exceed Two Million Six Hundred Thousand Dollars ($2,600,000.00) in the aggregate provided, however, if Seller willfully defaults under this Contract and sells the Property to a third-party unaffiliated with Purchaser prior to the Closing within six (6) months after the date the Closing under this Agreement was scheduled to occur such that the remedy of specific performance is unavailable as a result of such sale, Purchaser shall be entitled to pursue an action for actual damages against Seller, but not in excess of the difference between the Purchase Price under this Agreement and the sale price received by Seller for the Property pursuant to such third-party sale. The obligations of Seller are binding only on Seller and Seller’s assets and shall not be personally binding upon, nor shall any resort be had to, the private properties of any of the Seller Related Entities other than Seller and any liability of Seller hereunder and under the documents executed and delivered by Seller at Closing shall be expressly limited as set forth in Sections 7.2, 8.2, 8.3, 13.1 and 17.14 of this Agreement. All documents to be executed by Seller shall, whether or not they contain the foregoing exculpation, be governed thereby. Purchaser acknowledges that the entities constituting Seller are each special purpose entities and that they shall be responsible only for their own respective obligations under this Agreement.

17.15. Escrow Agreement.

17.15.1. Instructions. Purchaser and Seller each shall promptly deposit a copy of this Agreement executed by such party (or either of them shall deposit a copy executed by both Purchaser and Seller) with Escrow Agent, and, upon receipt of the Deposit from Purchaser, Escrow Agent shall immediately execute this Agreement where provided below. This Agreement, together with such further instructions, if any, as the parties shall provide to Escrow Agent by written agreement, shall constitute the escrow instructions. If any requirements relating to the duties or obligations of Escrow Agent hereunder are not acceptable to Escrow Agent, or if Escrow Agent requires additional instructions, the parties hereto agree to make such deletions, substitutions and additions hereto as counsel for Purchaser and Seller shall mutually approve, which additional instructions shall not substantially alter the terms of this Agreement unless otherwise expressly agreed to by Seller and Purchaser.

17.15.2. Real Estate Reporting Person. Escrow Agent is hereby designated the “real estate reporting person” for purposes of Section 6045 of Title 26 of the United States Code and Treasury Regulation 1.6045-4 and any instructions or settlement statement prepared by Escrow Agent shall so provide. Upon the consummation of the transaction contemplated by this Agreement, Escrow Agent shall file Form 1099 information return and send the statement to Seller as required under the aforementioned statute and regulation. Seller and Purchaser shall promptly furnish their federal tax identification numbers to Escrow Agent and shall otherwise reasonably cooperate with Escrow Agent in connection with Escrow Agent’s duties as real estate reporting person.

17.15.3. Liability of Escrow Agent. The parties acknowledge that the Escrow Agent shall be conclusively entitled to rely, except as hereinafter set forth, upon a certificate from Purchaser or Seller as to how the Deposit (which, for purposes of this Section shall be deemed to also include any other escrowed funds held by the Escrow Agent pursuant to this Agreement) should be disbursed. Any notice sent by Seller or Purchaser (the “Notifying Party”) to the Escrow Agent shall be sent simultaneously to the other noticed parties pursuant to Section 17.1 herein (the “Notice Parties”). If the Notice Parties do not object to the Notifying Party’s notice to the Escrow Agent within ten (10) days after the Notice Parties’ receipt of the Notifying Party’s certificate to the Escrow Agent, the Escrow Agent shall be able to rely on the same. If the Notice Parties send, within such ten (10) days, written notice to the Escrow Agent disputing the Notifying Party’s certificate, a dispute shall exist and the Escrow Agent shall hold the Deposit as hereinafter provided. The parties hereto hereby acknowledge that Escrow Agent shall have no liability to any party on account of Escrow Agent’s failure to disburse the Deposit if a dispute shall have arisen with respect to the propriety of such disbursement and, in the event of any dispute as to who is entitled to receive the Deposit, disburse them in accordance with the final order of a court of competent jurisdiction, or to deposit or interplead such funds into a court of competent jurisdiction pending a final decision of such controversy. The parties hereto further agree that Escrow Agent shall not be liable for failure of any depository and shall not be otherwise liable except in the event of Escrow Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Escrow Agent shall be reimbursed on an equal basis by Purchaser and Seller for any reasonable expenses incurred by the Escrow Agent arising from a dispute with respect to the Deposit. The obligations of Seller with respect to the Escrow Agent are intended to be binding only on Seller and Seller’s assets and shall not be personally binding upon, nor shall any resort be had to, the private properties of any of the partners, officers, directors, shareholders or beneficiaries of Seller, or of any partners, officers, directors, shareholders or beneficiaries of any partners of Seller, or of any of Seller’s employees or agents. The obligations of Purchaser with respect to the Escrow Agent are intended to be binding only on Purchaser and Purchaser’s assets and shall not be personally binding upon, nor shall any resort be had to, the private properties of any of the partners, officers, directors, shareholders or beneficiaries of Purchaser, or of any partners, officers, directors, shareholders or beneficiaries of any partners of Purchaser, or of any of Purchaser’s employees or agents. The parties hereto irrevocably agree that any legal action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Section 17.15 may be brought in the Courts of the State of New Jersey, or the Federal District Court for the District of New Jersey. By execution and delivery of this Agreement, the parties hereto (including Escrow Agent) hereby irrevocably accept and submit generally and unconditionally, to the jurisdiction of any such court in any such action or proceeding, and hereby waive in the case of any such action or proceeding brought in

the courts of the State of New Jersey, or Federal District Court for the District of New Jersey, any defenses based on jurisdiction, venue or forum non conveniens. The terms and provisions of Section 17.15 of this Agreement shall survive Closing and/or the termination of this Agreement.

17.16. No Recording. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, neither this Agreement nor any memorandum or short form hereof shall be recorded or filed in any public land or other public records of any jurisdiction, by either party and any attempt to do so may be treated by the other party as a breach of this Agreement; provided that Purchaser shall not be prevented from making any filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission required by law. Purchaser shall provide Seller with prior written notice of any proposed SEC filing and shall limit such filing only to such abstract or redacted version as may be the minimum necessary for such compliance.

17.17. Waiver of Trial by Jury. The respective parties hereto shall and hereby do waive trial by jury in any action, proceeding or counterclaim brought by either of the parties hereto against the other on any matters whatsoever arising out of or in any way connected with this Agreement, or for the enforcement of any remedy under any statute, emergency or otherwise.

17.18. All Property Only. Seller and Purchaser hereby acknowledge that the Property is to be purchased in its entirety. In furtherance thereof, in the event that any condition precedent is not satisfied with respect to less than all of the Property, or any other condition arises with respect to less than all of the Property which entitles Purchaser to exercise its remedies under this Agreement, Purchaser shall have no right to purchase less than all of the Property.

17.19. 1031 Exchange. Purchaser acknowledges that Seller may elect to convey all or a portion of the Property in connection with the completion of a tax-deferred exchange under Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (including, but not limited to, an interim conveyance to or through a qualified intermediary). In connection therewith, Purchaser agrees to permit an assignment of this Agreement by the Seller in furtherance thereof. Purchaser hereby agrees to take such steps as Seller may reasonably require in order to complete the tax-deferred exchange including, without limitation, accepting or delivering payment of all or a portion of the Purchase Price from or to a third party and executing all documents reasonably necessary to effectuate such transfer; provided, however, that (i) no delay or extension of the Closing Date or any other time period for performance set forth herein shall be implied by such requirement of cooperation, and (ii) in no event will Purchaser be obligated to (x) acquire or take title to any property other than the Property, or (y) pay or apply any consideration in excess of the amounts, or at any time sooner than, as required under this Agreement, (iii) the assignment of this Agreement by Seller shall not affect Purchaser’s rights and remedies against Seller as provided by this Agreement, (iv) Purchaser shall not be obligated to incur any debt or incur any personal liability with respect to any replacement property, and (v) Purchaser shall not be required to make any warranties or representations in addition to those contained herein or perform any additional covenants in favor of Seller or any other person. Seller shall indemnify and hold Purchaser harmless from and against any and all claims, costs, or liabilities incurred by Purchaser arising out of or connected with Purchaser’s cooperation with the exchange transaction contemplated by this Section 17.19. In addition to and not in limitation of any of Seller’s other

rights under this Agreement, to facilitate Seller’s accomplishment of a tax-deferred exchange under Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, Seller shall have the right, upon written notice to Purchaser delivered not later than November 30, 2010, to postpone the Closing Date from the date the Closing Date would otherwise occur under this Agreement for a period not to exceed ninety (90 days) but in no event beyond March 31, 2011. Seller shall identify the Closing Date in such written notice.

17.20 Financial Accounting Statement. Seller agrees to reasonably cooperate with Purchaser at no cost, liability or expense to Seller, in connection with the preparation and delivery of an audit letter and credit statements required under Section 3-14 of Regulation S-X as promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission, including, making Seller’s books and records relating to the Property and containing information necessary to fulfill such reporting requirement available to Purchaser for inspection, copying and audit by Purchaser’s representatives at Purchaser’s expense. The provisions of this Section shall survive the Closing for a period of one hundred eighty (180) days.
