Seller makes no representations or warranties as to the accuracy or completeness of the Property Information.

2.2        Inspections.  Commencing on the Effective Date, Purchaser at its sole cost and expense, upon reasonable prior notice to Seller, shall have reasonable access during normal business hours to the Property for the purpose of conducting due diligence related inspections and tests, including surveys and architectural, engineering, geotechnical and environmental inspections and tests, provided that i) such inspections shall be at such times and subject to and under such terms, conditions and requirements as Seller may impose in its sole discretion; ii) shall exclude any areas deemed by Seller as being secret areas into which Purchaser may not enter due to confidential or proprietary matters; and iii) no photography, video or other recording may be taken of any part of the interior of the building without the prior written consent of Seller, which consent may be granted or denied in Seller’s sole discretion. Before any such entry, Purchaser shall provide Seller with a certificate of insurance naming Seller as an additional insured and with an insurer and insurance limits (minimum $2,000,000.00) and coverage reasonably satisfactory to Seller. Purchaser shall not disturb Seller’s business operations on the Property. Purchaser may not perform any invasive testing or drilling on, at or under the Property or any improvements thereon as a part of Purchaser’s environmental due diligence or otherwise (“Invasive Testing”), without the prior written consent of Seller, which Seller may give or withhold in its sole discretion.

In connection with its due diligence investigations, Purchaser or Purchaser’s representatives may meet with or contact building officials and governmental authorities, parties to Service Contracts and other agreements, the property management personnel, and a walk through of the Property; provided that Seller shall be given a reasonable opportunity to participate in any of the foregoing. Purchaser may only enter and inspect the interior of the Improvements when accompanied by a representative of Seller. In conducting any inspections or tests of the Property, Purchaser shall keep the Property free and clear of any liens arising from work performed on behalf of Purchaser. Purchaser shall restore the Property to substantially the same condition as existed prior to the tests and inspections, and shall defend, indemnify and hold Seller harmless from and against any claims and liabilities asserted against Seller arising out of Purchaser’s inspections; provided, however, the indemnity shall not extend to claims or liabilities arising out of the discovery of any existing environmental condition except to the extent such condition is made worse by Purchaser’s negligence or willful misconduct. This indemnity shall survive the Closing and any termination of this Contract. Within five (5) business days after Seller’s request, Purchaser shall provide Seller with a copy of the results of any tests and inspections made by or for Purchaser, excluding only market and economic feasibility studies.

If Purchaser does not give an Inspection Termination Notice, this Contract shall continue in full force and effect, Purchaser shall be deemed to have waived its right to terminate this Contract pursuant to this Section 2.3, and the Earnest Money shall become non-refundable at the end of the Inspection Period except as expressly provided herein.

2.4        Purchaser’s Reliance on its Investigations.  To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law and except for Seller’s representations and warranties in Section 8.1 and the warranties of title in the deed delivered at the Closing (“Seller’s Warranties”), this sale is made and will be made without representation, covenant, or warranty of any kind (whether express, implied, or, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, statutory) by Seller. As a material part of the consideration for this Contract, Purchaser agrees to accept the Property on an “As is” and “Where is” basis, with all faults and any and all latent and patent defects, and without any representation or warranty, all of which Seller hereby disclaims, except for Seller’s Warranties. Except for Seller’s Warranties, no warranty or representation is made by Seller as to (a) fitness for any particular purpose, (b) merchantability, (c) design, (d) quality, (e) condition, (f) operation or income, (g) compliance with drawings or specifications, (h) absence of defects, (i) absence of hazardous or toxic substances, (j) absence of faults, (k) flooding, or (l) compliance with laws and regulations including, without limitation, those relating to health, safety, and the environment. Purchaser acknowledges that Purchaser has entered into this Contract with the intention of making and relying upon its own investigation of the physical, environmental, economic use, compliance, and legal condition of the Property and that Purchaser is not now relying, and will not later rely, upon any representations and warranties made by Seller or anyone acting or claiming to act, by, through or under or on Seller’s behalf concerning the Property, except for Seller’s Warranties.

Consistent with the foregoing and subject solely to the Seller’s Warranties, effective as of the Closing Date, Purchaser, for itself and its agents, affiliates, successors and assigns, hereby releases, covenants not to sue, and forever discharges Seller, AT&T Inc., AT&T Services, Inc. and their respective agents, affiliates, subsidiaries, successors and assigns (collectively the “releasees”) from any and all rights, claims and demands at law or in equity, whether known or unknown at the time of this Contract, which Purchaser has or may have in the future, arising out of the physical, environmental, economic or legal condition of the Property, including, without limitation, all claims in tort or contract and any claim for indemnification or contribution arising under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (42 U.S.C. Section 9601, et seq.) or any similar federal, state or local statute, rule or regulation, excluding, however, any claims that may arise pursuant to the AT&T Lease. Purchaser, upon Closing, shall be deemed to have waived, relinquished and released Seller and all other releasees from and against any and all matters affecting the Property as of the Closing.

The provisions of this Section 2.4 shall survive indefinitely any closing or termination of this Contract and shall not be merged into the closing documents.

Wagner, Director of Portfolio Management and Transactions, and not that of any other person, as presently recollected by such person without any review of files or other investigation or inquiry of any kind, and shall not mean that such person is charged with knowledge of the acts, omissions and/or knowledge of Seller’s agents or employees. As used in this Contract, the term “to Purchaser’s knowledge”, “actual knowledge” or “best of Purchaser’s knowledge” or words of similar import shall mean the actual knowledge of Michael Seton and not that of any other person, as presently recollected by such person without any review of files or other investigation or inquiry of any kind, and shall not mean that such person is charged with knowledge of the acts, omissions and/or knowledge of Purchaser’s agents or employees.

8.2        Purchaser’s Representations and Warranties.  Purchaser represents and warrants to Seller that:

8.2.1    Organization and Authority.  Purchaser has been duly organized and is validly existing, and is in good standing in the state in which it was formed. Purchaser has the full right and authority and has obtained any and all consents required to enter into this Contract and at Closing will have the full rights and authority and will have obtained any and all consents required to consummate or cause to be consummated the transactions contemplated hereby. This Contract has been, and all of the documents to be delivered by Purchaser at the Closing will be, authorized and properly executed and constitute, or will constitute, as appropriate, the valid and binding obligation of Purchaser, enforceable in accordance with their terms.

8.2.2    Conflicts and Pending Action.  There is no contract to which Purchaser is a party or, to Purchaser’s knowledge, binding on Purchaser which is in conflict with this Contract. To Purchaser’s knowledge, there is no action or proceeding pending or threatened against Purchaser which challenges or impairs Purchaser’s ability to execute or perform its obligations under this Contract.

8.2.3    ERISA.  Purchaser is not and is not acting on behalf of an “employee benefit plan” within the meaning of Section 3(3) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, a “plan” within the meaning of Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended or an entity deemed to hold “plan assets” within the meaning of 29 C.F.R. §2510.3101 of any such employee benefit plan or plans.

8.3        Survival of Representations and Warranties.  The representations and warranties set forth in this Article 8 are made as of the Effective Date and are remade as of the Closing Date and shall survive the Closing for the Limitation Period set forth in Section 10.3 below. Each party shall have the right to bring an action against the other on the breach of a representation or warranty hereunder, only if Seller or Purchaser as the case may be, has given the other party written notice of the circumstances giving rise to the alleged breach within such Limitation Period.

ARTICLE 9: DAMAGES AND CONDEMNATION

9.1        Risk of Loss.  The Closing shall be effective as of 12:01 a.m. CDT on the Closing Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the risk of loss of all or any portion of the Property shall be borne by Seller up to and including the actual time of the Closing and wire transfer of the Purchase Price to Seller, and thereafter by Purchaser, subject, however, to the terms and conditions of Sections 9.2 and 9.3 below.

9.2        Damage.  Seller shall promptly give Purchaser written notice of any damage to the Property, describing such damage, and the Seller’s estimate of time to repair such damage. If such damage is not material, as defined below, then this Contract shall remain in full force and effect and at Closing Purchaser shall receive an assignment of the insurance proceeds relating to such damage and a credit for any deductible applicable to such insurance coverage and repair of such damage shall be subject to the terms of the AT&T Lease as if such damage had occurred during the Lease term. If such damage is material, Purchaser may elect by notice to Seller given within 10 days after Purchaser is notified of such damage (and the Closing shall be extended, if necessary, to give Purchaser such 10-day period to respond to such notice) to proceed in the same manner as in the case of damage that is not material or to terminate this Contract, in which event the Earnest Money shall be immediately returned to Purchaser. Damage as to any one or multiple occurrences is “material” if in the reasonably exercised judgment of Seller it will take more than six (6) months after Closing to repair.

9.3        Condemnation.  Seller shall promptly give Purchaser written notice (the “Notice of Taking”) of any eminent domain proceedings that are threatened or instituted with respect to a material portion of the Property. By notice to Seller given within 10 days after Purchaser receives the Notice of Taking (and if necessary the Closing Date shall be extended to give Purchaser the full 10-day period to make such election), Purchaser may terminate this Contract or proceed under this Contract, in which event at the Closing, Seller shall turn over to Purchaser any award it has received with respect to such taking and shall assign to Purchaser its right to any award. If no such election is made, or if the portion of the Property subject to any such taking is not material, this Contract shall remain in full force and effect and the purchase contemplated herein, less any interest taken by eminent domain or condemnation, shall be effected with no further adjustment, and upon the Closing of this purchase, Seller shall assign to Purchaser its right to any award that has been or that may thereafter be made for such taking. During the pendency of this Contract, Seller and Purchaser shall jointly negotiate and deal with the condemning authority in respect of such matter. For purposes hereof, a “material” taking shall mean a taking either of the entire Property or a portion thereof if, in Purchaser’s commercially reasonable opinion, the remaining Property cannot be restored to an economically viable building without either substantial alteration of the Property or relief from governmental regulations or the requirements of any leases then in effect with respect to the Property. For instance, Seller and Purchaser acknowledge that a taking of road right-of-way which does not affect parking at the Property or take any portion of the Improvements is not material for purposes of this section.

ARTICLE 10: DEFAULT AND DAMAGES

10.1      Default by Purchaser.  If Purchaser shall default in its obligation to purchase the Property pursuant to this Contract, then Purchaser agrees that Seller shall have the right to have the Title Company deliver the Earnest Money to Seller as liquidated damages to recompense Seller for time spent, labor and services performed, and the loss of its bargain. Purchaser and Seller agree that it would be impracticable or extremely difficult to affix damages if Purchaser so defaults and that the Earnest Money represents a reasonable estimate of Seller’s damages. Seller agrees to accept the Earnest Money as Seller’s total damages and relief hereunder if Purchaser defaults in its obligation to close hereunder. If Purchaser does so default, this Contract shall be terminated and Purchaser shall have no further right, title, or interest in or to the Property.

10.2      Default by Seller.    If Seller defaults in its obligation to sell and convey the Property to Purchaser pursuant to this Contract, Purchaser’s sole remedy shall be to elect one of the following: (a) to terminate this Contract, in which event Purchaser shall be entitled to the return by the Title Company to Purchaser of the Earnest Money, or (b) if Closing does not occur solely on account of a Willful Seller Default, to bring a suit for specific performance, provided that any suit for specific performance must be brought within ninety (90) days of Seller’s default. In no event shall Seller be liable to Purchaser for any actual, punitive, speculative, consequential or other damages, all of which are hereby waived by Purchaser. For the purposes hereof, a “Willful Seller Default” shall mean a default by Seller on or after the date hereof whereby Seller intentionally and in bad faith acts with the sole purpose of frustrating the intent of this Contract. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Purchaser’s remedy of specific performance is not available to Purchaser because of Seller conveying the Property to a third party in breach of its obligations under this Contract, then to the extent the Purchaser is the prevailing party in such action for specific performance (or would have been the prevailing party in such action except for Seller’s actions which make specific performance not available), the Purchaser shall receive the return of the Earnest Money and in addition the Purchaser shall receive from Seller as agreed upon liquidated damages and as its sole remedy and relief (i) Purchaser’s actual documented out-of-pocket expenses paid to third parties by Purchaser in connection with this Contract, and (ii) an amount equal to the Net Additional Consideration received by Seller for the wrongful sale of the Property to such third party. The term “Net Additional Consideration” shall mean the difference between (a) the net proceeds actually received by Seller for the sale of the Property to a third party prior to the Closing Date and (b) the Purchase Price hereunder. Purchaser hereby waives any other rights or remedies in respect of any such default. This Contract confers no present right, title or interest in the Property to Purchaser and Purchaser agrees not to file a lis pendens or other similar notice against the Property except in connection with, and after, the filing of a suit for specific performance.

10.3      Limitations.

10.3.1  Limitation Period.    Seller’s covenants, indemnities, warranties and representations contained in this Contract and in any document executed by Seller pursuant to this Contract shall survive Purchaser’s purchase of the Property only for a period commencing on the Closing Date and ending one hundred and eighty (180) days after the Closing Date (the “Limitation Period”). Seller’s liability for breach of any such covenant, indemnity, representation or warranty with respect to the Property shall be limited to claims in excess of an aggregate Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000.00) and Seller shall be liable only to the extent that such aggregate exceeds such figure. Seller’s aggregate liability for claims arising out of such covenants, indemnities, representations and warranties with respect to the Property shall not exceed two percent (2%) of the Purchase Price (the “Damage Limit”). Purchaser shall provide written notice to Seller prior to the expiration of the Limitation Period of any alleged breach of such covenants, indemnities, warranties or representations and shall allow Seller thirty (30) days within which to cure such breach, or, if such breach cannot reasonably be cured within thirty (30) days, an additional reasonable time period, so long as such cure has been commenced within such thirty (30) days and is being diligently pursued. If Seller fails to cure such breach after written notice and within such cure period, Purchaser’s sole remedy shall be an action at law for actual damages as a consequence thereof, which must be commenced, if at all, within the Limitation Period; provided, however, that if within the Limitation Period Purchaser gives Seller written notice of such a breach and Seller notifies Purchaser of Seller’s commencement of a cure, commences to cure and thereafter terminates such cure effort, Purchaser shall have an additional thirty (30) days from the date of such termination within which to commence an action at law for damages up to the Damage Limit as a consequence of Seller’s failure to cure. The Limitation Period referred to herein shall apply to known as well as unknown breaches of such covenants, indemnities, warranties or representations. Purchaser specifically acknowledges that such termination of liability represents a material element of the consideration to Seller. The limitation as to Seller’s liability in this Section 10.3.1 does not apply to Seller’s liability with respect to prorations and adjustments under Article 7.

10.3.2  Disclosure.    Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Contract, if Seller becomes aware during the pendency of this Contract prior to Closing of any matters which make any of their representations or warranties untrue, Seller shall promptly disclose such matters to Purchaser in writing. In the event that Seller so discloses any matters which make any of Seller’s representations and warranties untrue in any material respect or in the event that Purchaser otherwise becomes aware during the pendency of this Contract prior to Closing of any matters which make any of Seller’s representations or warranties untrue in any material respect, Seller shall bear no liability for such matters (provided that such untruth is not the result of Seller’s breach of any express covenant set forth in this Contract), but Purchaser shall have the right to elect in writing on or before the Closing Date, (i) to waive such matters and complete the purchase of the Property without reduction of the Purchase Price in accordance with the terms of this Contract, or (ii) as to any matters disclosed following the expiration of the Inspection Period, to terminate this Contract.

10.3.3  Purchaser’s Knowledge.    Notwithstanding anything contained in this Contract to the contrary, Seller shall have no liability for breaches of any representations, warranties and certifications (individually, a “Representation” and collectively, the “Representations”) which are made by Seller herein or in any of the documents or instruments required to be delivered by Seller hereunder if Purchaser or its officers had knowledge of such breach by Seller as to a fact or circumstance which, by its nature, indicates that a Representation was or has become untrue or inaccurate and Purchaser either (a) during the Inspection Period fails to terminate this Contract as set forth in Section 2.3 or (b) at any other time at or prior to Closing, Purchaser elects to proceed to close the transaction contemplated by this Contract, Purchaser shall not otherwise have the right to bring any lawsuit or other legal action against Seller, nor pursue any other remedies against Seller, as a result of the breach of such Representation caused thereby.

ARTICLE 11: MISCELLANEOUS

11.1      Parties Bound; Assignment.  Neither party may assign this Contract without the prior written consent of the other, and any such prohibited assignment shall be void; provided, however, that Purchaser may assign this Contract without Seller’s consent to an Affiliate or to effect an Exchange under Section 11.2. For the purposes of this paragraph, the term “Affiliate” means (a) an entity that directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by or is under common control with the Purchaser or (b) an entity at least a majority of whose economic interest is owned by Purchaser; and the term “control” means the power to direct the management of such entity through voting rights, ownership or contractual obligations, provided that in no event may the Contract be assigned by Purchaser to a “Significant Competitor” as defined under the AT&T Lease. No such assignment, however, shall release the assignor from the obligations under this Contract. Subject to the foregoing, this Contract shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the respective successors and assigns of the parties.

11.2      Section 1031 Exchange. Purchaser or Seller may consummate the purchase of the Property as part of a so-called like kind exchange (the “Exchange”) pursuant to §1031 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), provided that: (i) the Closing shall not be delayed or affected by reason of the Exchange nor shall the consummation or accomplishment of the Exchange be a condition precedent or condition subsequent to either party’s obligations under this Contract; (ii) the Exchange is effected through an assignment of this Contract, or its rights under this Contract, to a qualified intermediary; (iii) Seller shall not be required to take an assignment of the purchase agreement for the relinquished property or be required to acquire or hold title to any real property for purposes of consummating the Exchange; and (iv) the party requesting the Exchange shall pay any additional costs that would not otherwise have been incurred by Purchaser or Seller had such party not consummated its purchase or sale through the Exchange. Neither Seller nor Purchaser by this agreement or acquiescence to the Exchange shall (1) have its rights under this Contract affected or diminished in any manner or (2) be responsible for compliance with or be deemed to have warranted to the other party that the Exchange in fact complies with § 1031 of the Code.

The failure by either party to enforce against the other any term or provision of this Contract shall not be deemed to be a waiver of such party’s right to enforce against the other party the same or any other such term or provision in the future.

11.5    Governing Law.    This Contract shall, in all respects, be governed, construed, applied, and enforced in accordance with the law of the State of in which the Property is located excluding its conflict of laws provisions.
