The foregoing shall not be deemed to affect any obligation, liability or rights of Purchaser as lessor or of Seller as lessee pursuant to the provisions of the Lease.

Section 19.             AS-IS; RELEASE.  (a)  PURCHASER HAS AGREED TO ACCEPT POSSESSION OF THE PROPERTY ON THE CLOSING DATE ON AN “AS IS” BASIS.  SELLER AND PURCHASER AGREE THAT THE PROPERTY SHALL BE SOLD “AS IS, WHERE IS, WITH ALL FAULTS” WITH NO RIGHT OF SET-OFF OR REDUCTION IN THE PURCHASE PRICE, AND, EXCEPT AS MAY BE EXPRESSLY SET FORTH HEREIN, SUCH SALE SHALL BE WITHOUT REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED (INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF OR WITH RESPECT TO INCOME POTENTIAL, DEVELOPMENT FEASIBILITY, POTENTIAL OR COSTS, OPERATING EXPENSES, USES, MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE), AND SELLER DOES HEREBY DISCLAIM AND RENOUNCE ANY SUCH REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY, EXCEPT AS MAY BE EXPRESSLY SET FORTH HEREIN.  Purchaser and experts of Purchaser’s choice have (i) physically inspected the Property, (ii) determined the fair market value of the Property in its “AS IS” condition, (iii) analyzed the present and projected uses of the Property, and (iv) independently tested and examined the Property from a physical, structural and environmental standpoint.

15




 

WHICH PURCHASER DOES NOT PRESENTLY SUSPECT TO EXIST WHICH, IF KNOWN BY PURCHASER, WOULD AFFECT PURCHASER’S RELEASE TO SELLER.  The foregoing shall not be deemed to affect any rights of Purchaser, as lessor, or any obligations of Seller, as lessee, under the Lease.

(c)           Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that the provisions of this Section were a material factor in inducing Seller to enter into this Agreement and in determining the Purchase Price for the transaction contemplated by this Agreement.

(d)           Property Information from Seller’s Agents.  Prior to the date of this Agreement, Purchaser has requested from Seller’s agents (e.g., on-site Property manager, contractors, or similar individuals or entities engaged by Seller relating to or involving the Property) information regarding the Property or Seller, or some aspect of the Property, its history, condition or prospects for future use or development by Purchaser, and Seller has endeavored to supply such information to the extent it reasonably could do so.  Purchaser has been informed that Seller’s files may not be complete.  While Seller has been willing to cooperate with Purchaser in the manner described in the second immediately preceding sentence, and Seller has instructed Seller’s Designated Representatives to so cooperate with Purchaser, SELLER IS UNWILLING TO SELL THE PROPERTY UNLESS SELLER IS RELEASED FROM LIABILITY BY PURCHASER AS SET FORTH ABOVE, AND IN CONSIDERATION FOR SELLER’S AGREEMENT TO SELL THE PROPERTY TO PURCHASER ON THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS HEREIN SET FORTH, PURCHASER AGREES THAT IT SHALL RELEASE SELLER, FOR STATEMENTS OR OPINIONS MADE BY OR INFORMATION FURNISHED BY SELLER’S AGENTS UNLESS THE STATEMENTS OR OPINIONS MADE BY OR INFORMATION FURNISHED BY SELLER’S AGENTS ARE INCORPORATED HEREIN AS SELLER REPRESENTATIONS.

(e)           Purchaser is experienced in and knowledgeable about the ownership, management, leasing and purchase of commercial real estate and office properties, and has relied and will rely exclusively on its own consultants, advisors, counsel, employees, agents, principals and/or studies, investigations and/or inspections with respect to the Property, its tax or legal status, condition, value and potential.  Purchaser agrees that, notwithstanding the fact that it has received certain information from Seller or its agents or consultants, Purchaser has relied solely upon and will continue to rely solely upon its own analysis and will not rely on any information provided by Seller or its agents or consultants, except solely for the representations expressly made in this Agreement. Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein to the contrary, Purchaser is purchasing the Property in its physical condition “as is” and in its present condition.

(f)            In entering into this Agreement, Purchaser has not been induced by and has not relied upon any representations, warranties or statements, whether express or implied, made by Seller or any agent (including Jones Lang LaSalle), employee or other representative of Seller or by any other person representing or purporting to represent Seller, which are not expressly set forth in this Agreement or the Lease, whether or not any such representations, warranties or statements were made in writing or orally.

Section 25.             Binding Effect.  This Agreement shall be binding upon and enforceable against, and shall inure to the benefit of, the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

Section 26.             No Third Party Beneficiaries.  This Agreement does not create, and shall not be construed as creating, any rights enforceable by any person not a party to this Agreement.

Section 27.             Confidentiality.  Except as required by law or regulation, including as required by the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, the parties agree that neither of them shall make public the terms and conditions of this Agreement (including the identity of the parties) or the fact that they have entered into this Agreement or any documents, studies or other materials concerning the Property or delivered by one party to the other hereunder (all of the foregoing, “Confidential Information”), without in each case first obtaining written permission from the other party or, with respect to documents, studies or materials concerning the Property, written permission from Seller); provided, however, either party may, without the other’s permission, share Confidential Information (a) which (i) becomes available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure by such party or its representatives in breach of this Agreement or the below-referenced Confidentiality Agreement, or (ii) was or becomes available to the party seeking to disclose the information on a non-confidential basis from a source (other than the party who provided such information or, with respect to documents, studies or materials concerning the Property, Seller) not bound by any confidentiality obligation or agreement with such party or Seller, as applicable, (b) with such party’s attorneys, accountants and other professional advisors and with existing or potential lenders or investors with respect to the Property (it being agreed that such directors, officers, employees and representatives shall be informed by the respective party of the terms of this Section 27 and shall agree to be bound by confidentiality and nondisclosure terms that are similar to the terms hereof), and such party shall be responsible for any breach of this Agreement by such party’s directors, officers, employees

or representatives.  In the event that a party (the “subpoenaed party”) is requested or required (by subpoena or other legal process) to disclose any Confidential Information provided by the other party (the “interested party”), the subpoenaed party will give the interested party prompt written notice of such request so that the interested party may seek an appropriate protective order and/or waive (but only in a writing signed by the interested party) the subpoenaed party’s compliance with the provisions of this Section 27.  Without prejudice to the rights and remedies available hereunder, a party shall be entitled to seek equitable relief by way of injunction or otherwise upon a breach or threatened breach by the other party or its representatives of any of the provisions of this Section 27.  The obligations of the parties under this Section 27 will survive the Closing.  This Section 27 shall supersede the Confidentiality Agreement, dated as of December 15, 2005, between Jones Lang LaSalle Americas, Inc. and CRIC Capital, LLC, which shall be of no further force and effect.
