Upon the receipt of the Title Commitment and Survey, Purchaser shall review all such information and shall, prior to the end of the Review Period, furnish a copy of the Title Commitment and Survey to Seller together with a statement as to which exceptions shown on the Title Commitment or Survey are unacceptable to Purchaser (the "Title Objection(s)").

B.    Within five (5) business days of receipt of Purchaser's written notice of Title Objections (the “Seller Election Date"), Seller shall notify Purchaser in writing of any Title Objections which Seller either refuses to cure or is unable to cure in a manner acceptable to Purchaser. In the absence of such notice from Seller to Purchaser, Seller shall be deemed to have elected not to satisfy, correct or cure any Title Objections.

C.    In the event Seller notifies Purchaser or is deemed to have notified Purchaser on or before the Seller Election Date of its election to refuse to cure or its inability to cure in a manner acceptable to Purchaser all of the Title Objections of which Seller is notified by Purchaser, then Purchaser shall by notice to Seller within five (5) business days after the Seller Election Date elect one of the following:
1.    To waive such Title Objection(s) and to close the transaction in accordance with the terms of this Contract; or
2.    To terminate this Contract by notice to Seller given on or before the date which is five (5) business days after the Seller Election Date, and the Deposit shall be refunded to Purchaser and neither party shall have any further liability or obligations to the other hereunder; provided, however, the indemnity contained in Section 3 (A) herein shall survive such termination.

D.    "Permitted Exceptions" shall mean all exceptions shown on the Title Commitment and matters noted on the Survey other than the Title Objections which Seller agrees to cure pursuant to this Section 4.
E.    Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 4 (A) herein or Section 4 (B) herein to the contrary, on the Closing Date, as defined below, title to the Property shall be good and



marketable, free and clear of: all mortgages, liens and encumbrances, all leases other than the Ground Leases, Leases, security interests, restrictions, rights-of-way, easements, encroachments and other matters, except for the Permitted Exceptions.

Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that upon Closing, Seller shall sell and convey to Purchaser and Purchaser shall accept the Property AS IS, WHERE IS, and WITH ALL FAULTS, except to the extent there has been a breach of any covenant, representation or warranty made by Seller in this Contract or any document delivered by Seller at Closing.

Purchaser acknowledges that the Purchase Price reflects the "as is" nature of this sale and any faults, liabilities, defects or other adverse matters that may be associated with the Property. Purchaser has fully reviewed the disclaimers and waivers set forth in this Contract with its counsel and understands the significance and effect thereof.
10.    Adjustments.
The following shall be adjusted between Seller and Purchaser and shall be prorated on a per diem basis as of 12:01 A.M. on the Closing Date, except as noted below:



A.    All rents and other payments and obligations pursuant to the Ground Leases and the Leases. All monies received after Closing from a tenant in arrears at Closing shall be first applied to current rent, then to arrearages and any other amounts owing to Seller. Purchaser shall be under no obligation to collect any arrearages owing to Seller. Seller covenants and agrees, which covenant and agreement shall survive the Closing, not to sue or otherwise assert a claim under any Lease against any tenant of the Property that, at the time of assertion of the claim, is a tenant at the Property or is otherwise obligated to Purchaser under a lease for any portion of the Property. After Closing, Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts, excluding litigation, to collect any delinquent rents on behalf of Seller.
B.    Real estate taxes (on the basis of the actual fiscal years for which such taxes are assessed), personal property taxes, and assessments on the Property shall be apportioned pro rata between Seller and Purchaser, with Seller responsible for the same to and including the day prior to the Closing Date and Purchaser responsible for the same from and after the Closing Date. In the event that as of the Closing date the actual tax bills for the tax year or years in question are not available and the amount of taxes to be prorated as aforesaid cannot be ascertained, then rates and assessed valuation for the previous year, with known changes, shall be used at Closing and after the Closing occurs and when the actual amount of taxes for the year in question shall be determinable, such taxes will be re-prorated between the parties to reflect the actual amount of such taxes. Purchaser shall receive a credit in an amount equal to any taxes and assessments unpaid as of the Closing Date and for which Seller is responsible hereunder. Seller shall receive a credit in an amount equal to any taxes and assessments which have been paid by Seller applicable to periods on or after the Closing Date.
C.    Seller shall pay to Purchaser at Closing, by credit against the Purchase Price, all security deposits paid by tenants under the Leases.
D.    (i)    Seller shall pay the amount of recording fees and taxes for the Ground Lease Assignment, one-half of the fees charged by the Escrow Agent to act as settlement agent, and its attorneys’ fees.
(ii)    Purchaser shall pay at Closing the charges of the Escrow Agent for issuance of the title commitment and owner’s title policy to Purchaser, the cost of the Survey, the cost of recording any security instruments required by any lender, one-half of escrow fees charged by Escrow Agent to act as settlement agent any costs arising from or related to Purchaser’s studies and activities under the Review Period, and its attorneys’ fees.
E.    At Closing, Purchaser shall receive a prorata credit for all common area maintenance and other reimbursable charges (collectively, “CAM Charges”) and indices charges (if any) for each Tenant received by Seller for the landlord’s fiscal year which includes the date of Closing. For purposes of this Contract, the phrase “landlord’s fiscal year” shall be deemed to be that twelve (12) month period which has been historically used by Seller for the calculation and allocation of CAM Charges, indices charges, property taxes and any other reimbursable charges, as the case may be. All CAM Charges and indices charges received after the date of Closing applicable to such landlord’s fiscal year shall be held by Purchaser until final billing of such Tenant for such entire fiscal year. Purchaser shall cause any such final billing to occur promptly upon the expiration of such fiscal year (and in any event within ninety (90) days thereafter), and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to collect any and all amounts relating to such final billing. CAM



Charges and indices charges shall be reprorated after the end of such fiscal year promptly upon receipt of payment thereof for such fiscal year, and in any event thirty (30) days from receipt of any payments on account of a final billing. Within thirty (30) days of receipt of payment, if an amount is owed to Seller, Purchaser shall remit to Seller its pro rata share of any such CAM Charges and indices charges (taking into account any payments on account of such charges for landlord’s fiscal year previously received by or delivered to Seller or if an amount is owed to Purchaser, Seller shall remit to Purchaser its pro rata share of any such CAM Charges and indices charges (taking into account any payments on account of such charges for landlord’s fiscal year previously received by or delivered to Purchaser.
F.    With the exception of any adjustments to be made following the Closing Date, (a) if a net amount is owed by Seller to Purchaser pursuant to this Section 10, such amount shall be credited against the Purchase Price, and (b) if a net amount is owed by Purchaser to Seller pursuant to this Section 10, such amount shall be added to the Purchase Price.
11.    Possession.     Possession of the Property shall be delivered as of the Closing Date subject only to the Leases.
12.    Condemnation.     In the event that any eminent domain proceeding (including a temporary taking) affecting the Real Property or any part thereof or affecting any of the rights of the tenants under the Leases is commenced or threatened by a governmental body having the power of eminent domain (a “Condemnation”), Seller shall immediately give Purchaser written notice thereof, and in the event, in Purchaser’s sole opinion, such Condemnation has no material adverse effect on the Property, Purchaser shall receive the award resulting from the Condemnation, (or if not then received, the right to the same shall be assigned to Purchaser), and this transaction shall be closed in the same manner as if no such Condemnation or other taking shall have occurred. However, if any such Condemnation has, or will have, in Purchaser’s sole opinion, a material adverse effect on the Property, Purchaser may terminate this Contract, in which event the Escrow Agent shall immediately forward the Deposit to Purchaser, and neither party shall have any further liability or obligations to the other hereunder; provided, however, that the indemnity contained in Section 3 (A) herein shall survive.
13.    Seller’s Default.     In the event Seller shall be in breach or violation of, or shall fail or refuse to perform its obligations under this Contract, which breach or failure is not cured within five (5) business days after receipt of written notice from Purchaser, Purchaser may, at its option, either (i) cancel this Contract by written notice to Seller and Escrow Agent, whereupon the Deposit shall be returned to Purchaser and Seller shall reimburse Purchaser its reasonable out of pocket expenses incurred or arising pursuant to this Contract up to a maximum of Twenty Five Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($25,000.00), or (ii) compel specific performance of Seller’s obligations hereunder. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the event that Seller willfully and intentionally defaults in its obligations under this Contract for the purpose of preventing Purchaser from purchasing the Property and if specific performance is not a commercially reasonable available remedy because of Seller acts, Purchaser shall have the right to pursue any remedy at law or in equity, including, without limitation, a claim for money damages. Further, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, subject to the terms of Section 17 herein, in the event of a Seller breach or violation or failure or refusal to perform its obligations under this Contract which is determined by a Court of competent jurisdiction to be a breach or violation of, or failure or refusal



to perform Seller obligations under this Contract, and which occurs before the Closing but is not discovered until after the Closing, Purchaser shall have any and all remedies provided by law or equity.
14.    Purchaser’s Default; Liquidated Damages.     In the event Purchaser shall be in breach or violation of, or shall fail or refuse to perform its obligations under this Contract, which breach or failure is not cured within five (5) business days after receipt of written notice from Seller, the Deposit shall be forwarded by Escrow Agent to Seller, which is hereby agreed to be adequate liquidated damages for Purchaser’s default hereunder, and Seller shall have no other rights or remedies. The parties acknowledge that the Deposit represents a reasonable effort to ascertain the damages to Seller in the event of a Purchaser default, which damages are difficult or impossible to quantify.
15.    Broker’s Commission.     Seller shall be solely responsible for, and shall pay in cash at Closing, and only if Closing shall occur, a real estate commission to Kyle Stonis of SRS Real Estate Partners, (the “Broker”) pursuant to the terms of a separate agreement. Seller represents and warrants to Purchaser, and Purchaser represents and warrants to Seller that except as provided in the preceding sentence no commissions are due and owing to any real estate broker or salesperson in connection with this transaction arising out of its actions. Seller and Purchaser hereby each agree to indemnify, defend and hold the other harmless from and against any claim for any real estate commission or similar fee arising out of its actions concerning the purchase and sale of the Property as contemplated by this Contract. Seller acknowledges that Purchaser has disclosed that certain of its principals are licensed real estate agents in the Commonwealth of Virginia. Purchaser acknowledges that Seller has disclosed that certain of its principals are licensed real estate agents in the State of Georgia.
16.    Insurance; Risk of Loss.     At all times until the Closing has been consummated, Seller shall maintain in full force and effect casualty and liability insurance on or with respect to the Property, it being understood and agreed that all risk of loss with respect to the Property shall remain with Seller through Closing. In the event that prior to the Closing Date, the Improvements on the Property are damaged, destroyed, or rendered unusable, in whole or in part, by fire, or other cause, then the Purchaser may terminate this Contract by notice to the Seller within ten (10) days of Purchaser’s receipt of Seller’s notice of such damage or proceeding, in which case the Deposit shall be refunded to Purchaser, and thereafter neither party shall have any further obligation or liability to the other by virtue of this Contract, except as otherwise expressly provided herein.
17.    Survival of Covenants.    All covenants, representations and warranties made by Seller and Purchaser shall survive the Closing for a period of nine (9) months after Closing. All such covenants, representations and warranties made by Seller or Purchaser shall be true, bona fide and accurate as of Closing, notwithstanding the fact that any of the covenants, representations and warranties by the language used in this Contract or therein may refer to a state of facts as of a date prior to the Closing Date and not as of the Closing Date. The above limitations shall not apply to any covenants, representations or warranties contained in any deed of bargain and sale made by Seller to Purchaser.
18.    Assignment.        Purchaser’s rights under this Contract shall be assignable by Purchaser, without further consent of Seller, to an entity affiliated with or controlled by Purchaser or any of Purchaser’s principals.



19.    Notices.     All notices, requests or other communications permitted or required under this Contract shall be in writing and shall be communicated by personal delivery, by nationally recognized overnight delivery service (such as Federal Express), by certified mail, return receipt requested, or by electronic mail to the parties hereto at the addresses shown below or at such other address as any of them may designate by notice to each of the others.
