(e) If any of the items described in this Section 8 hereof cannot be apportioned at the Closing because of the unavailability of information as to the amounts which are to be apportioned or otherwise, or are incorrectly apportioned at Closing or subsequent thereto, such items shall be apportioned or reapportioned, as the case may be, as soon as practicable after the Closing Date or the date such error is discovered, as applicable. The foregoing adjustment will not apply to any interim assessment relating to the completion of new construction and the issuance of an original occupancy permit for improvements. (f) If the Closing shall occur before a real estate or personal property tax rate or assessment is fixed for the tax year in which the Closing occurs, the apportionment of taxes at the Closing shall be upon the basis of the tax rate or assessment for the preceding fiscal year applied to the latest assessed valuation. Promptly after the new tax rate or assessment is fixed, the apportionment of taxes or assessments shall be recomputed and any discrepancy resulting from such recomputation and any errors or omissions in computing apportionments at Closing shall be promptly corrected and the proper party reimbursed. (g) If after the closing, the parties discover any errors in adjustments and apportionments, same shall be corrected as soon after their discovery as possible. The provisions of this Article 8 shall survive the closing, provided that no adjustments shall be made later than one (1) year after the Closing Date unless prior to such date the party seeking the adjustment shall have delivered a written notice to the other specifying the nature and basis for such claim. SECTION 9. Defaults. (a) In the event the Buyer fails or refuses to consummate the purchase of the Premises in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement for any reason constituting a default on the part of Buyer, then Escrow Agent shall pay to Seller the Deposit then paid and Seller shall retain the Deposit then paid as full liquidated damages in full and complete satisfaction of all claims against the Buyer and without recourse to any other remedies, legal or equitable. The parties have agreed that actual damages in such event are impossible to determine, and therefore have agreed upon the foregoing liquidated damages, after negotiation, as the parties' best estimate of actual damages which would be incurred in such circumstances. (b) If the conditions set forth in Article 12.1 have not been satisfied as of the Closing Date, then Buyer may elect to (i) accept title to the Premises subject to the defaulted obligation of Seller (and in the case of a liquidated Encumbrance, use the Purchase Price to eliminate such title defect), -13- or (ii) seek specific performance of this Agreement (and receive reimbursement from Seller for reasonable attorneys' fees and costs, if Buyer is the prevailing party in such action) or (iii) terminate this Agreement and elect to receive the return of the Deposit and any interest earned thereon, and in the event such Seller's default is a Willful Default (as hereinafter defined), be compensated by Seller for all actual damages sustained by Buyer as a result of Seller's breach of this Agreement, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements. The term "Willful Default" as used in this Agreement shall mean (a) Seller's willful refusal to convey title to the Property at the Closing, (b) Seller's refusal to cause any Encumbrance to be released (or insured over) but only if and to the extent that Seller is obligated to do so under this Agreement, (c) Seller voluntarily taking any action which has the effect of frustrating the intention of the parties under this Agreement (e.g. entering into a new lease without Buyer's consent); or (d) an intentional material breach of a representation or warranty of Seller under this Agreement SECTION 10.

THE SALE OF THE PROPERTY HEREUNDER IS AND WILL BE MADE ON AN "AS IS" ,"WHERE IS," AND "WITH ALL FAULTS" BASIS, AND EXCEPT AS SPECIFICALLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, WITHOUT REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND OR NATURE, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING ANY REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY CONCERNING TITLE TO THE PROPERTY OR THE PROPERTY, THE PHYSICAL CONDITION OF THE PROPERTY, THE ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITION OF THE PROPERTY (INCLUDING THE PRESENCE OR ABSENCE OF HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES ON OR AFFECTING THE PROPERTY), THE COMPLIANCE OF THE PROPERTY WITH APPLICABLE LAWS AND REGULATIONS (INCLUDING ZONING AND BUILDING CODES OR THE STATUS OF DEVELOPMENT OR USE RIGHTS RESPECTING THE PROPERTY), THE FINANCIAL CONDITION OF THE PROPERTY, OR ANY OTHER REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY RESPECTING ANY INCOME, EXPENSES, CHARGES, LIENS OR ENCUMBRANCES, RIGHTS OR CLAIMS ON, AFFECTING OR PERTAINING TO THE PROPERTY OR ANY PART THEREOF.

IN ELECTING TO PURCHASE THE PROPERTY, BUYER IS NOT RELYING UPON ANY STATEMENTS OR REPRESENTATIONS MADE BY SELLER OR ANY OF SELLER'S AGENTS OR REPRESENTATIONS EXCEPT FOR THOSE SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT. -17- 10.4. Changed Circumstances. If any event shall occur after the Effective Date, and before the Closing Date, which is not caused by Seller ("Changed Circumstance"), that renders untrue any representation or warranty made by Seller in this Agreement, it shall not constitute a breach by Seller of such representation or warranty, and Seller's reaffirmation of such representation or warranty at Closing may be qualified by such Changed Circumstance. If Seller shall obtain knowledge of any Changed Circumstance, Seller shall provide notice thereof to Buyer within a reasonable period of time. In the event Buyer receives actual notice of any Material Changed Circumstance, whether from Seller or any other source, including its own investigations, then Buyer shall have the right to terminate this Agreement, in which event both parties shall be relieved from any further obligation under this Agreement, and the Deposit shall be returned to Buyer. For purposes of this Agreement, a "Material" Changed Circumstance shall be one that (when taken together with all other Changed Circumstances) would be reasonably expected to decrease the annual net operating income of the Property by more than one and one-half (1.50%) percent or would otherwise reasonably be considered material by a Buyer of similar properties. The baseline for determining whether a Changed Circumstance is a Material Changed Circumstance (i.e., the current projected annualized NOI of the Property for 2004 as of the date of this Agreement) is agreed to be $1,469,559.00 10.5 Representations, Warranties and Covenants of Buyer. (a) Buyer is a limited partnership duly organized, validly existing, and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware, and has full power and authority to own, lease and operate its properties and assets and to conduct its business as now being conducted. (b) Buyer has the full power and authority to enter into this Agreement and to carry out the transactions contemplated hereby, and the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by Buyer has been duly authorized by all necessary action. The purchase of the Property by Buyer from Seller, the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the fulfillment of the terms set forth in this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement will not conflict with or constitute a default under the organizational documents of Buyer, or a default under any contract by which Buyer is bound, or would be a violation of any Laws applicable to Buyer. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of Buyer, enforceable against Buyer in accordance with its terms. Buyer does not require any consent, approval, authorization or order of, or declaration, filing or registration with, any Governmental Authority or Person in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

Seller shall promptly notify Buyer of (i) the occurrence of any fire or other casualty causing damage to the Property, or (ii) receipt of notice of eminent domain proceedings or condemnation of or affecting the Property or notice from any governmental authority relating to the condition, use or occupancy of the Property, (including, without limitation, all notices of violation of codes with respect to the Property), or (iii) knowledge of any default by any tenant of the Property under any of the Leases, or (iv) receipt of any notice of Seller's default as landlord under any Lease received by Seller from any tenant of the Property or the receipt or delivery from any tenant of any default or termination notice or claim of offset or defense to the payment of rent; or (v) receipt of notice from any tenant that such tenant intends to vacate its leased premises, or (vi) receipt of any notice of any actual or threatened litigation against Seller or affecting or relating to the Property.

If Buyer receives notice from Seller as to any of the above matters during the Due Diligence Period, Buyer may not unreasonably withhold, condition or delay its consent, provided, however, that in the case of a proposed new lease or lease amendment, Seller shall, concurrent with the submission of the respective document to Buyer, deliver to Buyer Seller's estimate of the total of the leasing commissions, tenant allowances and estimated costs of any landlord work required to be paid or incurred in connection with such new lease or amendment. Buyer's failure to respond to any notice from Seller within six business days after receipt of Seller's notice will be deemed consent from Buyer. If Buyer receives of notice from Seller as to any of the above matters after the Due Diligence Period but before the Closing Date, Buyer may in its sole discretion withhold, condition or delay its consent. -19- SECTION 12. Conditions To Closing and Post-Closing Matters. 12.1 Conditions of Buyer's Obligation to Close.

(b) The amount escrowed under subsection (a) shall be disbursed by Escrow Agent to Seller on a monthly basis following the Closing Date in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Escrow Agreement. If the actual aggregate amount expended from such escrow is less than the aggregate amount escrowed pursuant to such subsection, then at such time as such difference is determined, the Escrow Agent shall be authorized and instructed to disburse such difference to Seller. -21- SECTION 13. Casualty and Condemnation 13.1 Casualty. In the event of any fire or other casualty affecting the Property prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall promptly notify Buyer thereof, describing the nature and extent thereof. If such casualty would cost at least $700,000 to repair, or would not be fully covered by Seller's insurance (with no deductible, or with only such deductible as Seller would agree to reimburse Buyer for), or would give any Major Tenant of the Property the right to terminate its Lease, then Buyer may, at its election, at any time within fifteen (15) calendar days after receipt of notice of such casualty, terminate this Agreement by notice to Seller and Escrow Agent, whereupon the Deposit shall be refunded to Buyer and, except as provided herein, neither party shall have any further rights against the other hereunder.

In the event of any Taking prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall promptly notify Buyer thereof, describing the nature and extent thereof. Buyer may thereupon, at its election, at any time within fifteen (15) calendar days after receipt of written notice of such condemnation, terminate this Agreement by notice to Seller and Escrow Agent, whereupon the Deposit shall be refunded to Buyer and, except as provided herein, neither party shall have any further rights against the other hereunder. In the event Buyer does not terminate this Agreement by reason of any such Taking within such fifteen (15) day period, then and in that event, the sale of the Property shall be consummated as herein provided and Seller shall assign to Buyer on the Closing Date all of Seller's right, title and interest in and to all awards payable by reason of such Taking and shall pay over to Buyer all amounts theretofore received by Seller in connection with such Taking, in each case, net of Seller's costs incurred in obtaining such award or restoring the Property.

(a) Buyer acknowledges that Seller and Affiliates of Seller have commenced the process of negotiating to lease space at the Property to Staples, Hancock Fabrics and Goody's (the "New Tenants"). Attached hereto as Exhibit K is a chart showing the estimated size of premises which would be leased by each of such tenants and the projected per square foot and aggregate first year fixed annual rentals for each New Tenant (the "Chart"). In the event that: (i) the Buyer (or an Affiliate of Buyer) shall acquire title to the Property pursuant to this Agreement; and (ii) Seller shall, no later than ninety (90) days after the date of Closing, cause to be delivered to Buyer a letter of intent to lease space at the Property executed by one of the New Tenants for space of at least the size indicated on the Chart and at a fixed annual rental rate of at least the rate indicated on the Chart for the respective New Tenant; and (iii) Buyer (or an Affiliate of Buyer) and one or more of the New Tenants shall fully execute and unconditionally delivered a lease of retail space at the Property (the "New Lease") on or before two hundred and forty (240) days after the date of Closing (except as otherwise provided in subsection (d) herein) for premises of a size and first year fixed annual rental rate for the respective New Tenant as indicated on the Chart; and (iv) the New Tenant shall, on or before one (1) year after the date of Closing, open for business in its new premises and commence the payment of fixed annual rent (except as otherwise provided in subsection (d) herein); then Seller shall be deemed to have earned a fee on account thereof in the sum of One Hundred Thousand ($100,000.00) Dollars (the "Earn-Out Fee"). The Earnout Fee shall be payable in full by Buyer upon satisfaction of the foregoing conditions. (b) Buyer or its affiliated entity purchasing the Property shall have the unqualified right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to refuse to enter into any lease with any New Tenant for any reason whatsoever without incurring any obligation to Seller for the payment of the Earnout Fee or any other consideration with respect to such New Tenant. Except as otherwise provided in subsection (d) herein, if for any reason whatsoever the conditions set forth in subsection (a) are not fulfilled within the time periods set forth in subsection (a), no Earn-Out Fee or other compensation shall be payable to Seller or any of its Affiliates with respect to the leasing of the Property, and Seller hereby acknowledges that in such instance it shall have no right to file a lien against the Property or any interest of Buyer (or any Affiliate thereof) therein. -25- (c) Buyer's agreement to pay the Earnout Fee is based on the assumption that Buyer shall not be obligated to pay any commission or other fee to a broker, finder or other person in connection with any lease executed with any of the New Tenants. Seller shall hold harmless, indemnify and defend Buyer (and all Affiliates thereof) from and against any and all claims, demands, actions, causes of action, suits, judgments, damages, losses, liabilities, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements) incurred in connection with demands for commissions or fees with respect to the leasing of retail space at the Property to any of the New Tenants, except with respect to any broker retained by Buyer. If Buyer is required to pay a commission to any broker or finder in connection with a lease with any New Tenant (other than to a broker retained by Buyer), then Buyer shall have the right to reduce the amount of the Earnout Fee by the amount of any such commission which Buyer is required to pay. (d) It is the intent of the parties that Buyer not be able to avoid paying the Earnout Fee on account of a lease with a New Tenant by waiting to satisfy the conditions under subsection (a) until after the required dates for satisfaction of such conditions have passed. Accordingly, if Seller shall have satisfied the condition set forth in subsection (a)(ii), and Buyer shall be negotiating a lease with a New Tenant during the two hundred and forty (240) day period referred to in subsection (a)(iii), and such lease shall not be fully and unconditionally executed and delivered within such period but shall thereafter be fully and unconditionally executed and delivered within one year of the date of Closing, then the Earnout Fee shall nevertheless be deemed Earned, provided that the New Tenant shall open its premises for business and commence the payment of fixed rent no later than eighteen (18) months (notwithstanding the provisions of subsection (a)(iv) hereof) after the date of Closing.
