Representations and Warranties of Purchaser. Purchaser hereby makes the following representations and warranties to Seller, all of which are made as of the date hereof and shall be true and correct on the Closing Date, and none of which shall survive past the Closing Date:

(a)

Purchaser is a corporation organized, existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Illinois.  This Agreement and the Purchaser Closing Documents (hereinafter defined) are, or will be when executed and delivered by Purchaser, legally binding on, and enforceable against, Purchaser in accordance with their respective terms, except as the same may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, receivership and other similar laws affecting the rights and remedies of creditors generally and by general principles of equity.

Purchaser is not insolvent (as such term is defined in Section 101(32) of the United States Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. §§ 101, et seq. (“Bankruptcy Code”)) and will not become insolvent as a result of entering into and consummating this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby (including, without limitation, the purchase of the Property), nor are the transfers to be made hereunder or obligations incurred in connection herewith made or incurred by Purchaser with any intent to hinder, delay or defraud any creditors to which Purchaser is or becomes indebted. Purchaser acknowledges that it is receiving new, fair, reasonably equivalent value in exchange for the transfers and obligations contemplated by this Agreement, and affirmatively represents that neither its entry into this Agreement nor its consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby constitutes a fraudulent conveyance or preferential transfer under the Bankruptcy Code or any other federal, state or local laws affecting the rights of creditors generally.

6.

Additional Obligations, Covenants, Agreements of Seller.

(a)

Seller agrees to give full, complete and actual possession of the Property to Purchaser on the Closing Date, subject only to the rights of tenants under the Leases, occupants under temporary occupancy arrangements and all other matters included as Permitted Exceptions (as defined in Section 15) and/or described in the standard North Carolina form of special warranty deed.  Seller agrees to cooperate fully with Purchaser to assure that the transfer of possession of the Property takes place with the least possible disruption in the normal operation of the Property.

(b)

On or before the Closing Date, Seller shall terminate all contracts in effect with any third party for the management or operation of the Property. Prior to the expiration of the Study Period, Purchaser and Seller (or its affiliated entity) agree that each party shall diligently

5

and in good faith negotiate to arrive at a mutually acceptable exclusive leasing agreement (providing for a full listing agent commission to be paid to Seller (or its affiliated entity) for any executed leases) to be executed at Closing between Purchaser and Seller (or its affiliated entity) governing the leasing of the Property for a minimum of five (5) years after the Closing (the “Exclusive Leasing Agreement”).  Seller shall terminate, at its sole cost and expense, any of the Contracts which Purchaser designates for termination in a written notice which must be received by Seller on or before the date that is sixty (60) days prior to the Closing Date (“Contract Termination Date”).  In the event the foregoing written notice is not received by Seller on or before the Contract Termination Date or Purchaser designates any Contracts for termination by written notice to Seller after the Contract Termination Date, Purchaser shall pay (or reimburse Seller for) all costs and expenses of terminating such Contracts (including, without limitation, any penalties or other termination fees due on account of such termination). All Contracts not designated for termination by Purchaser by written notice received by Seller as aforesaid shall be assigned to and assumed by Purchaser at Closing. Purchaser’s obligations under this Section 6(b) shall survive the Closing of the transactions contemplated hereby for a period of five (5) years after the Closing Date.

(c)

On the Closing Date, Seller shall turn over to Purchaser (either directly or by leaving the same at the Property) all tenant files, and executed originals (or true copies if Seller do not possess the originals) of each Lease.  

(d)

Subject to Purchaser’s satisfaction of and compliance with the conditions set forth in Section 8(b), upon at least twenty-four (24) hours’ advance written notice, Seller shall permit Purchaser, and its agents, representatives and contractors, to have reasonable access to the Property during normal business hours from and after the date hereof to the Closing Date, subject to the rights of tenants and provided that, if Seller desires, a representative of Seller shall accompany Purchaser, and its agents, representatives and contractors, onto the Property for all physical inspections and testing.  Such notice shall detail the scope of the due diligence Purchaser intends to conduct at that time, including, without limitation, any physically intrusive work such as sampling of soils, other media or the like.  In addition, subject to the conditions set forth herein and in Section 8(b), Seller shall make available to Purchaser via electronic mail and/or website access during such period all information in Seller’s or its management agent’s possession concerning the Property, including, without limitation, all tenant leases, tenant correspondence files, rent rolls and plans and specifications, which Purchaser may reasonably request.

(e)

From the date of this Agreement until the Closing Date, Seller shall not enter into any new leases (collectively, “New Leases”) or any renewals, extensions or modifications of Existing Leases (collectively, “Modifications”) without first obtaining the express written consent of Purchaser thereto, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided, however, in no event shall Seller be required to obtain Purchaser’s prior written consent with respect to any New Leases so long as such leases comply in all respects with the “Leasing Parameters” attached hereto as Exhibit F. Purchaser shall give Seller its written response to any request for Purchaser’s consent to a New Lease or a Modification within three (3) business days of receipt of such request sent to the following Purchaser representatives:  Sharon Anderson-Cox and Charles J. Benvenuto, and Purchaser’s failure to provide such written

6

response within such 3-business day period shall be deemed to be Purchaser’s consent to such New Lease or Modification.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser’s consent shall not be required (provided however, Seller shall provide written notice of same to Purchaser) for any Modifications that are expressly required by and provided for in any of the Existing Leases or which do not otherwise effect any of the economic terms of the Existing Leases.  Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, in the event Seller enters into a New Lease between the date hereof and the date of Closing which includes an annual base rent in excess of the pro forma annual base rent (per the attached Exhibit B), the Purchase Price shall increase by an amount equal to the annual base rent for the New Lease in excess of the pro forma annual base rent (such increased base rent not to exceed 10% of said pro forma base rent) divided by .081441.  

(f)

Seller agrees that from the date of this Agreement to the Closing Date, Seller shall: (i) at its expense, maintain its usual maintenance program for the Property, reasonable wear and tear and damage by fire or other casualty excepted, it being understood, however, that the Property is being sold in an “AS-IS” condition as provided in Section 11 hereof; (ii) continue to perform in all material respects its obligations as landlord under the  Leases; (iii) not mortgage any part of the Property; (iv) not make any commitment or incur any liability to any labor union, through negotiations or otherwise with respect to the Property; and (v) maintain in full force and effect an all-risk casualty insurance policy for the Property and all improvements thereon, in substantially the same form as currently maintained.

(g)

On the Closing Date, Seller shall execute and deliver to the Escrow Agent, or the Title Company (as defined in Section 15 hereof) if different (“Closing Agent”) the documents, affidavits, certificates and other instruments identified on Exhibit J attached hereto (collectively, “Seller Closing Documents”).  

 

(h)

Seller shall provide Purchaser with such information as is reasonably satisfactory to the Title Company demonstrating the due authorization and performance by Seller of this Agreement and the Seller Closing Documents, as set forth in Section 4(a).

(i)

Seller shall request that tenants of the Property provide to Purchaser estoppel certificates in the form attached hereto as Exhibit I (or such other form as is attached to any Existing Leases), and will promptly forward to Purchaser all completed estoppel certificates signed by such tenants that may be received by Seller.  Seller makes no representation, agreement or covenant as to the content or availability of such estoppel certificates.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Purchaser’s condition to closing set forth in Section 9(a)(i) is not satisfied on or prior to 3-business days prior to Closing because Purchaser has not received estoppel certificates reasonably acceptable to Purchaser from all of the tenants identified on Exhibit I-1 attached hereto (“Major Tenants”) plus at least 90% of the balance of the tenants at the Property (based on the square footage of the Property), Seller shall have the option (but not the obligation) to deliver to Purchaser no later than 3-business days prior to Closing estoppel certificates (in the form attached as Exhibit I) executed by Seller (“Seller Estoppel Certificates”) for such number of retail tenants as may be necessary to cause the total number of retail tenants (other than Major Tenants) delivering estoppel certificates to Purchaser (whether signed by the tenant or by Seller) to constitute 100% of the retail tenants of the Property (other than the Major

7

Tenants).  Notwithstanding the terms of the immediately preceding sentence, Purchaser shall not be obligated to accept a Seller estoppel for more than 15% (based upon square footage) of the balance of the tenants at the Property remaining (after Major Tenants).  Any liability Seller may have with respect to each Seller Estoppel Certificate (if any) delivered to Purchaser as aforesaid for any inaccuracies therein or otherwise shall terminate on the earlier of: (a) the date Purchaser receives an estoppel certificate reasonably acceptable to Purchaser from the tenant that is the subject of such Seller Estoppel Certificate confirming in all material respects the information included in such Seller Estoppel Certificate; or (b) six (6) months after the Closing Date.  In addition, Seller shall obtain an OEA/SDA Estoppel Certificate in the form attached hereto as Exhibit M, and made a part hereof, from Target Corporation, with respect to the current Operation and Easement Agreement, as amended, encumbering the Property and also with respect to the Site Development Agreement (“SDA”) between Seller and Target Corporation confirming that the obligations and burdens of both Seller and Target Corporation,  as applicable, under the SDA have been satisfied.

(j)

Seller shall pay and discharge in the ordinary course of business all Existing Commission Obligations, any Future Commission Obligations and any leasing commissions with respect to the Property payable by Seller in accordance with the terms herein.

7.

Additional Obligations, Covenants, Agreements of Purchaser.

(a)

On the Closing Date, Purchaser shall execute and deliver to the Closing Agent the documents, affidavits, certificates and other instruments identified on Exhibit J-1 attached hereto (collectively, “Purchaser Closing Documents”).

(b)

Purchaser acknowledges that Seller may seek an exchange qualifying for tax-deferred like-kind exchange treatment under Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, with respect to the transfer by Seller to Purchaser of the Real Property.  Purchaser agrees to cooperate with Seller in accomplishing structuring of the transfer of the Real Property to Purchaser in a manner that shall qualify for tax-deferred like-kind exchange treatment under Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended, provided that Seller shall be responsible for preparing all documents required to effect such exchange and for all transaction costs associated with the acquisition of the exchange property (ies) and its conveyance to Seller.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser shall not be required to take title to any exchange property.  The consummation of an exchange is not a condition precedent to Seller’s obligations under this Agreement and in no manner shall result in the extension of any time periods under this Agreement, including the Closing Date.  Purchaser has made no representation or warranty to Seller with respect to the tax effect of the transfer of the Real Property by Seller to Purchaser and by cooperating with Seller in structuring the transaction(s), Purchaser assumes no responsibility for the tax effects of the transactions upon Seller.

8.

(d)

Purchaser’s Right to Terminate.  If Purchaser is not satisfied, in its sole and absolute discretion, with the results of Purchaser’s Inspections of the Property or otherwise elects not to proceed to closing for any reason, or for no reason, Purchaser may terminate this Agreement by giving written notice thereof to Seller and Escrow Agent, which notice must be delivered to Seller and Escrow Agent on or before 5:00 p.m., Central Time, on the last day of the Study Period, TIME BEING OF THE ESSENCE.  If Purchaser timely terminates this Agreement as aforesaid, Purchaser shall promptly return all Study Materials to Seller (at no cost to Seller), and Escrow Agent shall immediately return the Deposit to Purchaser.  From and after Purchaser’s timely termination of this Agreement as aforesaid, neither Seller nor Purchaser shall have any further rights or liabilities hereunder (except for such rights and liabilities as expressly survive the termination of this Agreement).  If Purchaser does not give Seller such notice of termination as and when required hereunder, this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect, unmodified in any respect.

10

this Agreement). From and after the expiration of the Study Period, this Agreement and the Collateral Contracts (collectively, the “Inland Contracts”) shall be enforced independent of each other and any failure of a condition precedent or default by one party under any of the Inland Contracts shall not impact either party’s obligation under the balance of the Inland Contracts.

Failure to Satisfy Conditions.  Subject to the default provisions in Section 14 herein if any of Seller’s or Purchaser’s respective conditions precedent are not fully or timely satisfied on or before the Closing Date, the party whose conditions precedent were not satisfied shall have the option to: (i) waive any or all of its conditions precedent and proceed to closing the transactions contemplated hereby; or (ii) terminate this Agreement and Seller’s and Purchaser’s respective obligations to sell or purchase the Property, as applicable, by giving written notice thereof to the other party and Escrow Agent on or before the Closing Date.  In the event either of Seller or Purchaser gives such notice as aforesaid to terminate this Agreement, Seller’s obligation to sell and Purchaser’s obligation to purchase the Property shall be deemed, without notice, grace or further act of any party, to be automatically null and void and of no force or effect, in which event neither Seller nor Purchaser shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder, except pursuant to such provisions hereof as expressly survive the termination of this Agreement.  Further, if this Agreement is terminated by written notice given as aforesaid, Purchaser shall promptly return the Study Materials to Seller (at no cost to Seller), and Escrow Agent shall, subject to the default provisions in Section 14 herein, immediately return the Deposit to Purchaser.

10.

Purchaser’s Independent Investigation.  Purchaser hereby acknowledges and agrees that, in all cases, except for the representations and warranties expressly set forth in this Agreement, Seller makes no representations or warranties, express or implied, regarding the adequacy, accuracy, completeness or content of any of the Study Materials or the suitability of the same for any purpose and Seller shall have no liability to Purchaser, or any person or entity claiming by, through or under Purchaser, arising out of the Study Materials or to any person or entity to whom any of the Study Materials were disclosed.  Further, except as may be expressly provided in this Agreement, neither Purchaser, any person or entity claiming by, through or

12

under Purchaser, nor any other person or entity to whom any of the Study Materials were disclosed shall have or make any claims against Seller based on the Study Materials, including, without limitation, the adequacy, accuracy, completeness or content thereof or the suitability of the same for any purpose.  Purchaser hereby further acknowledges that, except for the representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement, as of the Closing Date, Purchaser shall be deemed to have relied solely on its own independent investigation, examination and Inspections of the Property in consummating the purchase thereof in accordance with this Agreement, that Purchaser is assuming the risk of future changes in applicable laws, and that, except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, Purchaser has not relied on, is not entitled to rely on, and shall not rely on, and Seller is not liable for or bound by (except as expressly set forth in this Agreement), any representations or warranties, statements (verbal or written), documents, reports, studies, Study Materials or any other materials made available or provided by Seller or any other person or entity purporting to act on behalf of Seller.  

11.

Property Conveyed “As-Is.”  In the event Purchaser does not terminate this Agreement as provided by the terms hereof and proceeds to close the transactions contemplated hereby, Purchaser shall be deemed to be satisfied with and/or to have waived the results of its due diligence and to have accepted the Property, and each and every portion thereof, “AS-IS,” “WHERE IS,” and “WITH ALL FAULTS,” including, without limitation, latent defects and other matters not detected in Purchaser’s Inspections, without recourse to, and without representation or warranty by Seller (except as expressly set forth in this Agreement), express or implied, whether statutory or otherwise, and without any warranties of transfer, quality, merchantability or fitness for a particular use or purpose, including, without limitation, Purchaser’s intended uses or purposes.  The Property, including, without limitation, the Leases (and all temporary occupancy agreements affecting the Property) and Contracts shall be conveyed to Purchaser subject to all easements, covenants, restrictions, title and survey exceptions and any other matters affecting the Property as of the Closing Date.  

12.

Condemnation and Casualty.

(a)

Condemnation.

(i)

If Seller receives written notice of any pending or threatened condemnation proceedings or actions, or if a Casualty (defined below) shall occur with respect to the Property, Seller shall promptly notify Purchaser thereof in writing.  If, at or prior to the Closing Date, (A) a part of the Property valued at Five Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($500,000.00) or more (as reasonably estimated by the independent third party engineers of Seller and Purchaser), shall be condemned or taken pursuant to any governmental or other power of eminent domain, or (B) any written notice of taking or condemnation involving a part of the Property valued at $500,000.00 or more (estimated as set forth above) is issued to Seller, or (C) proceedings are instituted by any Governmental Authority having the power of eminent domain concerning a part of the Property valued at $500,000.00 or more (estimated as set forth above),  or (D) a part of the Property shall be condemned or taken and such taking results in the termination of any Existing Leases, or (E) any access point from the Property to an adjacent public right-of-way shall be condemned or taken or a sufficient portion of the parking area within the Property shall be condemned or taken such that the remaining parking spaces within

13

the Property are not sufficient to satisfy the parking requirements under applicable law, the OEA or any Existing Leases, then in any such event, Purchaser shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by giving Seller and Escrow Agent written notice of termination within ten (10) days after receiving Seller’s written notice of such condemnation or taking.  If Purchaser terminates this Agreement as aforesaid, Purchaser shall promptly return all Study Materials to Seller (at no cost to Seller) and Escrow Agent shall immediately return the Deposit to Purchaser, and neither Purchaser nor Seller shall have any further rights or liability under this Agreement.

(ii)

If any event described in the second sentence of Section 12(a)(i) with respect to a part of the Property valued at less than $500,000.00 shall occur at or prior to the Closing Date, or in the event Purchaser does not elect to terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 12(a)(i), Purchaser shall proceed to closing without adjustment of the Purchase Price but subject to the condemnation, in which event, Seller shall assign to Purchaser at the time of closing the condemnation award or rights thereto paid or payable to Seller on account of such condemnation.

(b)

Casualty.

(i)

If, at or prior to the Closing Date, any damage, destruction or casualty (collectively, a “Casualty”) involving an estimated cost of completing restoration of Five Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($500,000.00) or more shall have occurred, Purchaser shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by giving Seller and Escrow Agent written notice of termination within thirty (30) days after receiving Seller’s written notice of such Casualty (it being agreed that the Closing Date may be extended (at the option of Purchaser) for up to thirty (30) days to accommodate such notice period if Purchaser shall have received notice of the Casualty less than thirty (30) days prior to the Closing Date), whereupon Purchaser shall promptly return all Study Materials to Seller (at no cost to Seller) and Escrow Agent shall immediately return the Deposit to Purchaser, and neither Purchaser nor Seller shall have any further rights or liability under this Agreement.

(ii)

In the event of any Casualty at or prior to the Closing Date involving an estimated cost of completing restoration of less than $500,000.00, or in the event Purchaser does not elect to terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 12(b)(i), Seller shall not be obligated to restore such damage, and Seller shall assign to Purchaser at closing all of their right, title and interest in and to the proceeds of any casualty insurance payable to Seller on account of such Casualty (less any amount applied to restoration), and shall pay to Purchaser at closing an amount equal to any deductible applicable to the casualty insurance under such insurance policies.

13.

Closing.

(a)

The closing (“Closing”) of the purchase and sale of the Property shall be held at the office of the Escrow Agent, during normal business hours, on or before February 25, 2011 (such date being hereinafter referred to as the “Closing Date”).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser and Seller have agreed pursuant to a separate written agreement (attached as Exhibit Q), to a “tiered” closing schedule as it relates to all of the Inland Contracts, and in no

14

event shall Seller be obligated to close on the sale of this Property in a manner which is inconsistent with said closing schedule. Time is of the essence with respect to the Closing Date, it being understood that the provisions of this Agreement regarding the Closing Date are a material inducement to Seller to enter into this Agreement.

(b)

The delivery to Closing Agent of the Purchase Price, the executed Seller Closing Documents and the Purchaser Closing Documents shall be deemed to be a good and sufficient tender of performance of the terms hereof.

(c)

The following items of expense shall be adjusted as of midnight of the day immediately preceding the Closing Date (such that Seller shall be responsible for all days prior to the Closing Date and Purchaser shall be responsible for all days from and after the Closing Date, including, without limitation, the Closing Date):

(i)

Real estate taxes that are accrued and unpaid and otherwise due and payable with respect to the Property on the basis of the most current bills or other current information available.  Provided, however, the following described tenants pay real estate taxes to landlord under their respective Leases on an annual basis, in arrears (i.e., by EOM December, 2010 for calendar year 2010): Old Navy (the “Annual Real Estate Taxpaying Tenants”) and with respect to insurance reimbursements, the following described tenants pay insurance reimbursement to landlord under their respective Leases on an annual basis, in arrears: Old Navy  (the “Annual Insurance Reimbursement Tenants”).  Real Estate taxes and insurance reimbursements for calendar years 2010 and 2011 (if Closing occurs in 2011) to be credited to Purchaser by Seller at Closing will not include a credit for the real estate tax payments due and payable by the Annual Real Estate Taxpaying Tenants or a credit for insurance reimbursement due and payable by the Annual Insurance Reimbursement Tenants for calendar years 2010 and 2011 (if Closing occurs in 2011).  Purchaser agrees to bill and collect real estate tax reimbursements and insurance reimbursements from the Annual Real Estate Taxpaying Tenants and Annual Insurance Reimbursement Tenants for calendar years 2010 and 2011 (if applicable).  At or prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall have fully paid and satisfied all real estate taxes for which a bill has issued and shall be entitled to collect from any tenants of the Property each tenant’s proportionate share of said taxes pursuant to the terms of the Existing Leases.  In addition, at or prior to the Closing Date, Seller will have fully paid and discharged all special assessments encumbering the Property.

(ii)

Fuel, water and sewer service charges, and charges for gas, electricity, telephone and all other public utilities to the extent such charges are not paid on a pass through basis by the tenants of the Property.  If there are meters on the Real Property measuring the consumption of water, gas or electric current, Seller shall, not more than two (2) days prior to the Closing Date, use its good faith efforts to cause such meters (for utilities for which Seller, and not tenants, are responsible) to be read, and shall pay promptly all utility bills for which Seller is liable upon receipt of a statement therefor.  Purchaser shall be liable for and shall pay all utility bills for services rendered after such meter readings.  In the event such utility readings cannot be accomplished, another fair and equitable manner of adjustment of utilities, such as an adjustment based on historical estimates of the utility charges, shall be undertaken.

15

(iii)

All charges payable with respect to the Contracts and other agreements remaining in effect after closing, if any, and all other costs and expenses (if any) of managing, operating, maintaining and repairing the Property to the extent such charges are not paid on a pass through basis by the tenants of the Property.

The adjustments described in Sections 13(c)(i) through (iii) shall be paid on the Closing Date by a credit to Purchaser (or Seller, as applicable) against the Purchase Price.  If the amount of any of the adjustments described in Sections 13(c)(ii) or (iii) cannot be determined on the Closing Date, the parties shall estimate such expenses with an appropriate adjustment therefor being made within thirty (30) days after the Closing Date by good check.  In making the adjustments required by this subsection, Seller shall be given credit for all amounts prepaid for the Closing Date and any period thereafter, and Seller shall be charged with any unpaid charges for the period prior to the Closing Date.

(d)

The scheduled monthly rent and other tenant charges (including CAM, real estate taxes and insurance) payable by tenants under the Leases shall be adjusted as of midnight of the day immediately preceding the Closing Date (such that Seller is entitled to receive/retain all amounts allocable to the period prior to the Closing Date and Purchaser shall receive a credit at closing for the day of closing through the end of the month in which closing occurs).  All rent and other charges prepaid to Seller beyond the month in which closing occurs shall be paid to Purchaser at closing in the form of a credit against the Purchase Price.  Past-due rent and other charges which are due and payable to Seller but uncollected as of the Closing Date shall not be adjusted, but Purchaser shall cause the rent for the month in which closing occurs and the period prior to the Closing Date to be remitted to Seller if, as and when collected, in accordance with the provisions of this Section 13(d).  On the Closing Date, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser a schedule of all such past due but uncollected rent and other amounts owed by tenants.  Purchaser agrees to include the past due amounts in its billing statement to such tenants in arrears as of the Closing Date and to pursue the collection of same.  All rent (including base rent, CAM charges, insurance and real estate tax reimbursements), when collected, shall be applied first to Purchaser’s reasonable, third-party collection costs, then to rent (as defined above) due Purchaser, then the excess, if any, to Seller on account of rental arrearages due to Seller.  Seller reserves the right to pursue any such arrearages by action against the tenant (not including an action for possession of the tenant’s demised premises nor for termination of its lease).    Percentage rents shall be apportioned between Seller and Purchaser upon receipt of the payment from the subject tenant subsequent to the Closing Date, based on the number of days in the lease year (or other period) before and after the Closing Date, respectively.  Further, with respect to reconciliations of CAM charges, insurance reimbursements, and real estate tax reimbursements for the calendar year in which Closing occurs, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser at Closing a schedule(s) showing the CAM, insurance reimbursements and real estate tax reimbursements received from tenants prior to the Closing Date and the operating, insurance and real estate tax expenses of the Property actually incurred prior to the Closing Date.  If applicable, Purchaser shall receive a net credit against the Purchase Price to adjust for the foregoing and within 90 days after the expiration of the calendar year in which the Closing occurs, Purchaser and Seller shall re-prorate the CAM, insurance reimbursements and real estate tax reimbursements for the calendar year in which the Closing occurs based on the actual, final numbers and reconcile any adjustments due Seller based on the credits afforded Purchaser at

16

Closing.  Purchaser shall provide Seller with and/or provide access to all pertinent information concerning tenant percentage rents and such charges, including sales reports and status of collections, promptly upon request, and upon request by Seller, shall advise Seller of all efforts by Purchaser to bill and collect any rents and other charges owed to Seller for the period prior to the Closing Date.

(e)

Seller shall deliver to Purchaser at Closing a schedule of all security deposits pursuant to Leases.  At Closing, all security deposits pursuant to Leases shall be credited to Purchaser against the Purchase Price.  Purchaser shall indemnify Seller, to the extent of the security deposits credited to Purchaser as aforesaid, against any claims by tenants on account of such security deposits.

(f)

At Closing, Purchaser shall reimburse Seller for all utility deposits (if any) relating to the Property which are transferred to Purchaser.

(g)

Purchaser shall pay all charges and fees in connection with Purchaser’s Inspections of the Property to the extent expressly provided in Section 8, nominal recording charges for recordation of the Special Warranty Deed contemplated hereby and any other recordable transfer documents, the cost of extended coverage over the standard preprinted Title Policy exceptions, together with non-curative Title Policy endorsements required by Purchaser, and one-half (1/2) of all escrow fees in connection with the closing of the transactions contemplated hereby.  Seller shall pay the costs and expenses of title insurance including title commitment preparation, copies of documents of record, work and search charges and the premium for Purchaser’s standard base title policy (including all curative Title Policy endorsements) at Closing.  In addition, Seller shall pay the cost of the Survey, the documentary stamp tax (transfer tax) payable on the recording of the Special Warranty Deed contemplated hereby and one-half (1/2) of all escrow fees in connection with the closing of the transactions contemplated hereby.  Seller shall have responsibility for payment of all closing costs and expenses incurred in furtherance of this Agreement to the extent not expressly described herein as a Purchaser expense.   Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event Purchaser fails to close on its acquisition of the Property for whatever reason, other than in connection with a Seller default hereunder, Purchaser shall promptly reimburse Seller for (i) the cost of the Survey, such cost to be pre-approved by Purchaser prior to Seller ordering said survey and in any event not to exceed the lesser of (a) Ten Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($10,000.00) or (b) the pre-approved cost of the Survey, and (ii) the cost of the title search and issuance of Purchaser’s title commitment, not to exceed $3,500.00.

(h)

At Closing, Seller shall give Purchaser a credit against the Purchase Price for any outstanding tenant improvement allowances and leasing commissions relating to the Leases which remain unpaid as of the Closing Date.  Purchaser shall indemnify Seller, to the extent of the credit against the Purchase Price, against any claims by tenants on account of such tenant improvement allowances.

(i)

Each and all of the provisions of this Section 13 shall survive the closing of the transactions contemplated hereby.

17

14.

Breach/Termination.

(a)

Breach by Seller.  If Seller shall default in its obligations under this Agreement on or before the Closing Date,  Purchaser shall have the right to elect (in its sole discretion) to either: (i) terminate this Agreement by written notice to Seller and Escrow Agent, whereupon Escrow Agent shall immediately return the Deposit to Purchaser, together with the right to assert a claim against Seller for actual, third party expenses incurred by Purchaser in furtherance of its due diligence investigations, or (ii) elect to pursue a claim against Seller for specific performance of this Agreement (including reasonable attorney fees and costs associated with any claim).

(b)

Breach by Purchaser.  If Purchaser shall default in its obligation to close upon the acquisition of the Property (as determined in accordance with the terms of this Agreement) or before the Closing Date, then, in any such event Seller’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be to terminate this Agreement and receive the Deposit as liquidated damages for Purchaser’s default (Escrow Agent to pay the Deposit to Seller upon Seller’s request), all other claims for losses, damages, costs and expenses (other than the right to recover attorneys’ fees and expenses as described in Section 14(c) or to recover losses, damages, costs or expenses pursuant to any indemnification provisions that survive the termination of this Agreement or closing hereunder) being waived hereby.  Purchaser and Seller hereby acknowledge and agree that the actual damages suffered by Seller as a result of such breach by Purchaser would be impracticable, extremely difficult or impossible to determine and Purchaser agrees that the amount of the Deposit shall be the amount of damages to which Seller is entitled in such event and that the amount of such liquidated damages is reasonable and does not constitute a penalty.  Within five (5) days after any such termination, Purchaser shall deliver the Study Materials to Seller (at no cost to Seller).  

(c)

If Purchaser or Seller hinders, delays, contests or interferes with the other’s receipt or retention of the Deposit (or attempts to do any of the foregoing), as applicable, pursuant to any provision of this Agreement the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses.  If Seller is the prevailing party, such amounts shall be in addition to the receipt of the Deposit.  This Section 14(c) shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

15.

Title.  Seller hereby agrees that it shall not, after the date of this Agreement, take any action affecting title to the Property (except for actions effectuating the release of liens or encumbrances) unless consented to by Purchaser, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.  Promptly after execution of this Agreement, Seller shall provide Purchaser with a copy of Seller’s existing title policy and survey of the Property and Seller shall thereafter order the updated Survey and Purchaser shall thereafter order a title insurance commitment for the Property (the “Title Commitment”) from Chicago Title & Trust Company (the “Title Company”) and the Title Company shall be instructed to deliver a copy thereof to Seller promptly upon availability, together with a copy of all exceptions noted therein.   Purchaser shall

18

have thirty (30) days from the effective date of this Agreement (the “Title Review Period”) to give Seller written notice of Purchaser’s objection to the condition of title to the Property, as reflected by the Survey and the Title Commitment.  The failure of Purchaser to provide such notice to Seller prior to the expiration of the Title Review Period shall constitute a waiver of all of Purchaser’s rights under this Section 15 and to object to any matters of title or survey existing as of the effective date(s) of the Title Commitment and the Survey.  Matters not objected to by Purchaser pursuant to this Section 15 (in addition to other matters expressly designated as such elsewhere in this Agreement) shall be deemed accepted by Purchaser and are hereinafter referred to as the “Permitted Exceptions.”  If Purchaser gives written notice to Seller of title objections as permitted herein prior to the expiration of the Title Review Period, Seller shall have ten (10) days from receipt of such written notice either (A) to have such objections satisfied and removed or to commit to Purchaser in writing to cause such objections to be satisfied and removed at or prior to the Closing, or (B) to give Purchaser written notice of Seller’s inability or refusal to cure the objections.  If any such objection is not properly satisfied and removed within said ten (10) day period or Seller does not commit to Purchaser in writing within said ten (10) day period to cause any such objection to be satisfied and removed at or prior to the Closing, Purchaser, as its sole and exclusive remedy, may elect either (i) to terminate this Agreement by notice to Seller and Escrow Agent and receive an immediate return of the Earnest Money, or (ii) to accept and approve all such unsatisfied objections and to complete the purchase of the Property (in which case all such unsatisfied objections shall automatically become Permitted Exceptions under this Agreement), with the right to pay at Closing and deduct from the Purchase Price only the amount of liens which may be satisfied with the payment of money of a definite and readily ascertainable amount.  Purchaser shall notify Seller of its election pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence within five (5) days after the earlier to occur of the following two (2) events:  (1) the receipt by Purchaser of Seller’s written notice of Seller’s inability or refusal to satisfy the objections (or any of them), or (2) the passage of the ten (10) day period during which Seller is permitted to respond with regard to the objections.   Seller shall have no obligation to cure, and no liability with respect to, any matters relating to the status of title to the Property, except that Seller, prior to closing, shall pay off, discharge, clear, or otherwise satisfy the Title Company so that Purchaser’s title will be insured at commercially reasonable rates and free and clear of all mortgages affecting the Property and all judgments, mechanics’ or similar liens (in a liquidated amount therefor) affecting the Property.  Seller agree to provide to the Title Company a seller’s affidavit including a statement that Seller has paid or will pay in the ordinary course of business when due all sums for services performed for or materials furnished to Seller in connection with the Property (such affidavit being hereinafter referred to as the “Seller’s Affidavit”).  Except for affidavits included as part of the Seller Closing Documents, Seller is not obligated to provide any affidavits or statements as to any matters other than those expressly set forth in the immediately preceding sentence.

16.

Brokers. Except for Core Properties Inc. (“Core”), Collett & Associate, LLC (“Collett”), and Harris/Reames Land Investors, LLC (“Harris”), and Holiday, Fenoglio & Fowler (“HFF”, and collectively the “Seller Brokers”), each of Seller and Purchaser represent and warrant to each other that it has not authorized any real estate broker, agent or finder to act on its/their behalf in connection with the transaction contemplated by this Agreement, nor does it have any knowledge of any broker, agent or finder purporting to act on its behalf in respect to this Agreement and the sale of the Property to be made pursuant hereto, and that the other party

19

hereto shall have no liability to any broker for compensation, commission or otherwise.  Seller shall pay Seller Brokers a commission in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby pursuant to a separate agreement between Seller and Seller Brokers from Seller’s net proceeds of sale.  A condition to payment of Seller Brokers shall be that Seller Brokers shall each deposit into the Closing escrow a broker’s lien waiver.  Each party agrees that it shall indemnify, defend and save the other harmless from and against any cost, expense, claim, loss, liability or damages, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, and court costs, resulting from a breach of the foregoing representation and warranty.  The provisions of this Section 16 shall survive closing or termination of this Agreement for any reason.

17.

Entire Agreement/Modification. This Agreement, the Seller Closing Documents and the Purchaser Closing Documents contain the entire agreement between the parties relating to the conveyance of the Property, all prior negotiations between the parties (including, without limitation, the non-binding letter of intent from Purchaser) are merged into this Agreement and there are no promises, agreements, conditions, undertakings, warranties or representations, oral or written, express or implied, between them other than as set forth in this Agreement, Seller Closing Documents and the Purchaser Closing Documents.  No change or modification of this Agreement or any of the Seller Closing Documents and/or Purchaser Closing Documents shall be valid unless the same is in writing and signed by each of the parties hereto or thereto.  No waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement or any of the Seller Closing Documents and/or Purchaser Closing Documents executed or to be executed in connection herewith shall be valid unless in writing and signed by the party against whom it is sought to be enforced.

18.

Survival of Representations, Warranties and Agreements.  Except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement, the representations, warranties, indemnities, covenants and agreements of the parties set forth in this Agreement, including, without limitation, those made by Seller in Section 4, shall remain operative and shall survive the closing under or termination of this Agreement for a period of six (6) months.  

19.

Miscellaneous.

(a)

This Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by, the respective personal representatives, successors and permitted assigns of the parties hereto.  Neither Purchaser nor Seller shall have any right to assign this Agreement and/or its/their rights and obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the other.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser shall have a one-time right to assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement to a new entity to be created by Purchaser and in which Purchaser shall own, directly or indirectly, a majority of the outstanding stock or equity interests (“Permitted Assignee”) provided Purchaser shall execute and deliver, and cause the Permitted Assignee to execute and deliver, to Seller an express agreement pursuant to which the Permitted Assignee assumes all of Purchaser’s covenants, obligations, duties, liabilities, representations and warranties hereunder and Purchaser agrees to remain jointly and severally liable for payment and performance of all of such covenants, obligations, duties, liabilities, representations and warranties.  From and after any assignment of this Agreement by Purchaser to a Permitted Assignee, such Permitted Assignee shall be deemed the “Purchaser” for all purposes hereunder, subject to Purchaser’s agreement to remain jointly and severally liable for payment and

20

performance of Purchaser’s covenants, obligations, duties, liabilities, representations and warranties hereunder as aforesaid.  Any assignment or other transfer of this Agreement other than as aforesaid shall be null and void and of no force or effect.

(b)

The provisions of this Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of North Carolina, without regard to the conflicts of laws provisions thereof.  The parties agree that any action in connection with this Agreement or the Deposit shall be brought and maintained in the Federal District Court for the Federal District where the Real Property is located, or the applicable state court where the Real Property is located, and the parties hereby consent and agree to the jurisdiction of such courts.

(c)

All notices, requests, demands and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given/received: (1) on the date delivered if delivered personally; (2) the next business day after deposit with a recognized overnight courier service when marked for delivery on the next business day;  or (3) upon completion of transmission (which is confirmed by telephone or a statement generated by the transmitting machine) if sent by facsimile to compatible equipment in the possession of the recipient, and addressed to the party for whom it is intended at the address hereinafter set forth:

20.

Earnout.  The parties acknowledge that the Purchase Price, as same may be modified by Section 3 herein, has been calculated generally by dividing the expected annual base rent from the Property (i.e. $2,826,003.00) by .081441 (the “Base Rent Divider”).  In the event the Property is less than one hundred percent (100%) leased to tenants satisfying the Occupancy Conditions described upon Exhibit L attached hereto and made a part hereof as of the Closing Date, only a portion of the full Purchase Price shall be funded at Closing and the balance of the Purchase Price (the “Unfunded Purchase Price”) shall be held by Purchaser pursuant to the terms of this Section 20.  The Unfunded Purchase Price shall be calculated by dividing the aggregate pro forma annual base rent (per the attached Exhibit B) for the space within the Property for those tenants that do not then satisfy the Occupancy Conditions (the “Vacant Space”), by the Base Rent Divider. The balance of the Purchase Price shall be paid to Seller per the terms of this Agreement on the Closing Date (subject to Seller’s funding of the deposits described below).  As of the date hereof, the Vacant Space totals 31,625 square feet.   

The parties agree to enter into a mutually agreeable “Earnout Agreement” (attached as Exhibit K) at Closing which sets forth the terms and conditions for the Earnout, some of which are as follows:

The term of the earnout period shall commence on the Closing Date and shall continue until the first to occur of (i) a period of 36 months from the Closing Date, or (ii) the date the Vacant Space has been fully leased and is occupied by tenants then satisfying the Occupancy Conditions (the “Earnout Period”).  During the term of the Earnout Period (and prior to the satisfaction of the Occupancy Conditions of any portion of the Vacant Space by a new tenant), Seller shall be responsible for the monthly pro rata share of taxes, insurance and common area expenses (collectively, the “Operating Expenses”) allocable to the Vacant Space. To that end, Seller agrees to escrow with Escrow Agent at Closing, an amount equal to the estimated aggregate Operating Expenses for the Vacant Space payable during the Earnout Period (the “Operating Expense Escrow”).  Purchaser shall draw down on the Operating Expense Escrow during the Earnout Period to pay any Operating Expenses allocable to the Vacant Space as same become due.  Once any portion of the Vacant Space is leased to, and occupied by, a tenant then satisfying the Occupancy Conditions, Seller’s obligation to pay Purchaser the Operating Expenses allocable to that portion of the Vacant Space shall terminate and the balance of the Operating Expense Escrow allocable to said space shall be promptly paid to Seller. Upon the expiration of the Earnout Period, the balance of the Operating Expense Escrow, if any, shall be paid to Seller.

Seller, or its affiliated entities, shall continue to serve as the exclusive leasing agent for the Vacant Space during the Earnout Period and Seller shall be responsible for all costs

22

and expenses associated with leasing the Vacant Space, including without limitation, any brokerage commissions and tenant improvement allowances associated therewith.  To that end, Seller agrees to escrow with Escrow Agent at Closing, an amount equal to (i) $15.00 per square foot of the Vacant Space for anticipated tenant improvement allowances applicable to the Vacant Space, plus (ii) $3.00 per square foot of the Vacant Space for anticipated leasing commissions applicable to the Vacant Space (collectively, the “Leasing Escrow”).  As any portion of the Vacant Space is leased to tenants during the Earnout Period, Seller may draw down on the Leasing Escrow to pay any tenant improvement allowance and/or leasing commissions applicable to said lease, provided in no event shall the aggregate amount funded out of the Leasing Escrow for tenant improvement allowances exceed $15.00 per square foot of the aggregate amount of Vacant Space leased, nor shall the aggregate amount funded from the Leasing Escrow for leasing commissions exceed $3.00 per square foot of the aggregate amount of Vacant Space leased.  Upon the expiration of the Earnout Period, a portion of the Leasing Escrow in an amount equal to the collective sum of the improvement allowances for the then Vacant Space and the leasing commissions applicable to the then Vacant Space shall be either: (y) paid to Purchaser if the then Vacant Space is not fully leased to tenants satisfying the Occupancy Conditions prior to the expiration of the Earnout Period; or (z) paid to Seller if the then Vacant Space is fully leased to tenants satisfying the Occupancy Conditions prior to the expiration of the Earnout Period.  Any amounts remaining in the Leasing Escrow after payment to Purchaser and/or Seller (as applicable), as provided immediately above shall be paid to Seller at the expiration of the Earnout Period. Additionally, if tenant improvement allowances exceed $15.00 per square foot of the aggregate amount of Vacant Space leased or leasing commissions exceed $3.00 per square foot of the aggregate amount of Vacant Space leased (including for space which is being reconfigured for future leasing to a tenant) (e.g., relocation of walls and doorways), Seller shall be responsible for payment of such shortfall from Seller’s funds without contribution therefor from Purchaser.

All leases for the Vacant Space shall comply with the Leasing Parameters attached hereto as Exhibit F or shall otherwise be approved in writing by Purchaser.   At such time as Seller provides Purchaser with a new lease for any portion of the Vacant Space (and such new occupant has satisfied the Occupancy Conditions), Purchaser shall, upon ten (10) days advance written notice from Seller, pay to Seller a portion of the Unfunded Purchase Price in an amount equal to the annual base rent payable under said new lease (such base rent in no event to exceed 110% of the pro forma annual base rent for such space per the attached Exhibit B) divided by the Base Rent Divider.  Any portion of the Unfunded Purchase Price which remains unfunded as of the expiration of the Earnout Period shall then be deemed to be forfeited by Seller without any further act by Purchaser and shall be forever released from all obligations to fund any portion of the Unfunded Purchase Price thereafter.  

Purchaser shall act in a commercially reasonable manner and in good faith during its review and approval of any proposed new tenant and/or lease of the Vacant Space.  Purchaser agrees to respond to Seller deliveries of tenant information and/or leases within five (5) business days after its receipt thereof by Purchaser, and in the event Purchaser

23

fails to respond within an additional two (2) business days after a second notice, said proposed tenant and/or lease shall be deemed approved by Purchaser.  In the event that any tenant and its new lease is approved (or deemed approved) and such lease is signed by the tenant and delivered to Purchaser but Purchaser fails to execute and deliver such lease within two (2) business days after receipt of the second notice described above, then the lease shall be deemed to have been executed by Purchaser as of the sixth (6^th) business day following Purchaser’s receipt of same.

22.

Confidentiality. Purchaser and Seller hereby expressly covenant and agree to hold in strict confidence until closing hereunder or for a period of three (3) months from the date of any termination of this Agreement, the existence, nature or content of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser and Seller may disclose any of such information if required in litigation, if any (whether arising out of this Agreement or otherwise), or if required by applicable law (including, without limitation, any rule or regulation of the Securities and Exchange Commission), and Purchaser shall be entitled to disclose such information, to the extent necessary, to its lender providing financing for the acquisition of the Property.  Further, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth above, provided that such disclosure shall be limited to the extent reasonably possible, the provisions of this Section 22 shall not restrict the disclosure of such information to key employees, accountants and attorneys of Purchaser, and shall not restrict Purchaser’s inquiries and investigations of the Property as provided for hereunder, but subject in all events to all other obligations of Purchaser under this Agreement relating to its investigations and Inspections of the Property.  The provisions of this Section 22 shall survive termination of this Agreement.

As used herein, “legal proceedings” includes any arbitration proceedings to which the parties may submit.

27.

Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

WHEREAS, Seller and Purchaser have mutually agreed to amend certain provisions of the Agreement.

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, Seller and Purchaser agree as follows:

1.

Purchaser hereby approves of its due diligence investigation of the Shopping Center.   

2.

The following paragraph is hereby inserted as the second paragraph of Section 13(d) of the Agreement:

“In the event that on or prior to the third (3^rd) anniversary of the Closing Date a tenant of the Shopping Center exercises any right that it might have under its lease to initiate an inspection or audit the common area maintenance expenses for the Shopping Center for any period prior to the Closing Date, Purchaser shall promptly notify Seller of such exercise.  Seller, at the cost and expense of Seller, shall have the right to fully participate in, and at its election, take over the management and defense of, such inspection or audit and any litigation, mediation

and/or arbitration proceedings resulting from such inspection or audit.  Purchaser shall reasonably cooperate with the efforts of Seller in connection with any such inspection, audit, litigation, mediation and/or arbitration proceeding and shall utilize reasonable efforts to minimize or mitigate any liability of Seller hereunder.  Seller hereby covenants and agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Purchaser from and against any liabilities Purchaser shall suffer as a result of any refund of common area costs or payment of costs and expenses as a result of any such inspection or audit initiated on or prior to the third (3^rd) anniversary of the Closing Date of any period prior to the Closing Date.”

The Immediate Needs Repair Escrow shall be held by Escrow Agent under the joint control of Seller and Purchaser (modified to comply with the terms hereof) for a period beginning on the date of deposit and continuing until Seller’s completion of the Immediate Needs Repairs to Purchaser’s commercially reasonable satisfaction upon which Escrow Agent will release the amounts in the Immediate Needs Repair Escrow to Seller.  This Section 13(j) will survive the Closing. The details of the Immediate Needs Repairs Escrow shall be set forth in a certain Post Closing and Indemnity Agreement to be negotiated and finalized by and between Seller and Purchaser on or before the Closing Date.”

4.

The final sentence of the first paragraph of Section 20 of the Agreement is amended by deleting the number “31,625” and inserting the number “33,508” therein.

5.

The third paragraph of Section 20 of the Agreement is hereby deleted and amended and restated as follows:

“Seller, or its affiliated entities, shall continue to serve as the exclusive leasing agent for the Vacant Space during the Earnout Period and Seller shall be responsible for all costs and expenses associated with leasing the Vacant Space, including without limitation, any brokerage commissions and tenant improvement allowances associated therewith.  To that end, Seller agrees to escrow with Escrow Agent at Closing, an amount equal to (i) $15.00 per square foot of the Vacant Space for anticipated tenant improvement allowances applicable to the Vacant Space which is in a finished shell condition, plus (ii) $3.00 per square foot

of the Vacant Space for anticipated leasing commissions applicable to the Vacant Space plus (iii) $35.00 per square foot of the Vacant Space [applicable to that Vacant Space which is in an unfinished shell condition so as to bring such Vacant Space to a finished shell condition and for anticipated tenant improvements applicable to such Vacant Space] (collectively, the “Leasing Escrow”).  As any portion of the Vacant Space is leased to tenants during the Earnout Period, Seller may draw down on the Leasing Escrow to place the Vacant Space into vanilla box condition and to pay any tenant improvement allowance and/or leasing commissions applicable to said lease, provided in no event shall the aggregate amount funded out of the Leasing Escrow for tenant improvement allowances exceed $15.00 per square foot of the aggregate amount of Vacant Space leased which is in a finished shell condition, nor shall the aggregate amount funded from the Leasing Escrow for leasing commissions exceed $3.00 per square foot of the aggregate amount of Vacant Space leased, nor shall the aggregate amount funded from the Leasing Escrow for Vacant Space which is in an unfinished shell condition exceed $35.00 per square foot of the aggregate amount of Vacant Space leased.  Upon the expiration of the Earnout Period, a portion of the Leasing Escrow in an amount equal to the collective sum of the (i) vanilla box condition funds for the then Vacant Space; (ii) improvement allowances for the then Vacant Space; and (iii) the leasing commissions applicable to the then Vacant Space shall be either: (y) paid to Purchaser if the then Vacant Space is not fully leased to tenants satisfying the Occupancy Conditions prior to the expiration of the Earnout Period; or (z) paid to Seller if the then Vacant Space is fully leased to tenants satisfying the Occupancy Conditions prior to the expiration of the Earnout Period.  Any amounts remaining in the Leasing Escrow after payment to Purchaser and/or Seller (as applicable), as provided immediately above shall be paid to Seller at the expiration of the Earnout Period. Additionally, if tenant improvement allowances exceed $15.00 per square foot of the aggregate amount of Vacant Space leased which is in a finished shell condition or leasing commissions exceed $3.00 per square foot of the aggregate amount of Vacant Space leased (including for space which is being reconfigured for future leasing to a tenant) (e.g., relocation of walls and doorways), or Vacant Space which is in an unfinished shell condition exceeds $35.00 per square foot of the aggregate amount of Vacant Space leased, Seller shall be responsible for payment of such shortfall from Seller’s funds without contribution therefore from Purchaser.”

6.

The Earnout Agreement attached as Exhibit K to the Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and the Earnout Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit K is hereby substituted in lieu thereof, such that from and after the date of this Fifth Amendment, any references to the “Earnout Agreement” or “Exhibit K” shall be deemed to refer to the Earnout Agreement attached to this Fifth Amendment as Exhibit K.

7.

This Fifth Amendment may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one Fifth Amendment. Each person executing this Fifth Amendment represents that such person has full authority and legal power to do so and bind the party on whose behalf he or she has executed this Fifth Amendment.  Any counterpart to this Fifth Amendment may be executed by facsimile copy and shall be binding on the parties.

The Agreement shall remain in full force and effect, as modified hereby.
