Item 2. Acquisition or Disposition of Assets
Pursuant to a Purchase and Sale Agreement dated as of April
4, 2000, as amended (the "Agreement"), Taxter Park Associates
("TPA") sold the land and buildings which comprise Taxter
Corporate Park (the "Property") on May 23, 2000 to a
subsidiary of Mack-Cali Realty Corporation (the "Purchaser"),
an unaffiliated party, for a negotiated sale price of $42.725
million. In connection with the sale, TPA acquired from DW
Taxter Special Corp, an affiliate, and conveyed to the
Purchaser certain interests in the Property, including
interests that the affiliate had acquired from KLM Royal
Dutch Airlines, for $6.75 million, in February 1999. Of the
$42.725 million, TPA will remit $6.75 million of the sale
proceeds to the affiliate in connection with the transaction.
TPA is owned 44.6% by Dean Witter Realty Income Partnership
III, L.P. (the "Partnership"), 40.6% by Dean Witter Realty
Income Partnership IV, L.P., an affiliated public
partnership, and 14.8% by Dean Witter Realty Income
Partnership II, L.P., an affiliated public partnership.
The purchase price was paid in cash at closing. At closing,
the Partnership received approximately $14.8 million
representing its 44.6% share of the cash received by TPA, net
of its share of TPA's closing costs, the amount of the
obligation owed to the affiliate and other deductions.
<PAGE>
Item 7. Financial Statements and Exhibits
(b) Pro Forma Financial Information
On a pro forma basis, if the sale of the Property had been
consummated on January 31, 2000, the Partnership's
Consolidated Balance Sheet as of such date would have
reflected an increase in cash and cash equivalents from $2.0
million to $16.8 million, the elimination of the $6.8 million
investment in joint venture, a decrease in other assets from
$1.0 million to $0.9 million, an increase in accounts payable
and accrued liabilities from $0.3 million to $0.4 million and
an increase in partner's capital from $9.5 million to $17.3
million.
For the Consolidated Income Statement for the quarter ended
January 31, 2000, if the Property was sold on November 1,
1999, the equity in earnings of joint venture of
approximately $145,000 would have been eliminated and the
Partnership would have incurred a net loss of approximately
$110,000($0.19 per limited partnership unit).
For the Consolidated Statement of Operations for the year
ended October 31, 1999, if the Property was sold on November
1, 1998, the equity in earnings of joint venture would have
decreased from approximately $815,000 to $97,000 and net loss
would have increased from $2.3 million ($4.80 per limited
partnership unit) to $3.0 million ($6.02 per limited
partnership unit).
The pro forma adjustments to the Consolidated Income
Statement and Consolidated Statement of Operations exclude
the Partnership's share of the non-recurring gain on the sale
of the Property.

prepaid, security deposits referred to in Section 8(e),

(b) real estate taxes, special assessments (but
only any installment relating to the period in which the

same are assigned to the Purchaser at the Closing;
(h) personal property taxes, if any, on the basis
of the fiscal year for which assessed;

(j) New Lease Expenses as provided in Section
10.1.2; and
(k) outstanding tenant improvement obligations in
connection with those Leases listed on Schedule 12

remaining at Closing shall be a credit to Purchaser
against the Purchase Price at Closing;
(l) such other items as are customarily
apportioned between sellers and purchasers of real
properties of a type similar to the Property and located
in Westchester County, New York.
3.1. Taxes.
If the amount of real estate taxes, special
assessments or other taxes for the Property for the
fiscal year during which the Closing occurs is not
finally determined at the Adjustment Date, such taxes
shall be apportioned on the basis of the full amount of
the assessment for such period (or the assessment for
the prior tax period if the assessment for the current
tax period is not then known) and the rate for the
immediately prior tax year, and shall be reapportioned
as soon as the new tax rate and valuation, if any, has
been finally determined. If any taxes which have been
apportioned shall subsequently be reduced by abatement,
the amount of such abatement, less the cost of obtaining
the same and after deduction of sums payable to tenants
under Leases or expired or terminated Leases, shall be
equitably apportioned between the parties hereto.
3.2. Rents.
3.2.1. Arrearages.
If on the Closing Date any tenant is in
arrears in the payment of Rent or has not paid the
Rent payable by it for the month in which the
Closing occurs (whether or not it is in arrears for
such month on the Closing Date), any Rents received
by the Purchaser or the Seller from such tenant
after the Closing shall be applied to amounts due
and payable by such tenant during the following
periods in the following order of priority:
(i) first, to the month in which the Closing
occurred, (ii) second, to
<PAGE>
the current month, and (iii) third, to the months
in which any arrearages exist, paying off the most
recent arrears first. If Rents or any portion
thereof received by the Seller or the Purchaser
after the Closing are due and payable to the other
party by reason of this allocation, the appropriate
sum, less a proportionate share of any reasonable
attorneys' fees and costs and expenses expended in
connection with the collection thereof, shall be
promptly paid to the other party (to the extent not
collected from or reimbursed by tenants). At
Closing, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser a
schedule of any Rents in arrears as of the Closing
Date.
3.2.2. Additional Rents.
If any tenants are required to pay percentage
rent, escalation charges for real estate taxes,
parking charges, operating expenses and maintenance
escalation charges, cost-of-living increases,
utility, sewer or water charges or other charges,
however characterized ("Additional Rents") and any
Additional Rents are collected by the Purchaser
from a tenant after the Closing Date, then the
Purchaser shall promptly apply such sums received
from such tenant during the following periods in
the following order of priority: (i) first, to the
month in which the Closing occurred, (ii) second,
to the current month, and (iii) third, to the
months in which any arrearages exist, paying off
the most recent arrears first. If Additional Rents
or any portion thereof received by the Seller or
the Purchaser after the Closing are due and payable
to the other party by reason of this allocation,
the appropriate sum, less a proportionate share of
any reasonable attorneys' fees and costs and
expenses expended in connection with the collection
thereof, shall be promptly paid to the other party
(to the extent not collected from or reimbursed by
tenants). At the Closing, Seller shall deliver to
Purchaser a list of Additional Rent billed to
tenants for the calendar year in which the Closing
occurs (both on a monthly basis and in the
aggregate), the basis for which the monthly amounts
are being billed and the amounts incurred by Seller
on account of the components of Additional Rent for
such calendar year. Upon the reconciliation by
Purchaser of the Additional Rents billed to
Tenants, and the amounts actually incurred for such
calendar year, Seller and Purchaser shall be liable
for overpayments of Additional Rents, and shall be
entitled to payments from Tenants, as the case may
be, on a pro-rata
<PAGE>
basis based upon each party's period of
ownership during such calendar year. To the extent
Seller is liable for an overpayment, it shall make
such overpayment to Purchaser within thirty (30)
days after request, for further distribution by
Purchaser to the tenants, as applicable.
3.2.3. Collection After the Closing.
After the Closing, the Seller shall continue
to have the right, in its own name, to demand
payment of and to collect Rent and Additional Rent
arrearages owed to the Seller by any tenant, which
right shall include, without limitation, the right
to continue or commence legal actions or
proceedings against any tenant; provided, however,
Seller shall be limited to a contract action for
recover of monies only, and under no circumstances
shall Seller be permitted to bring an action for
eviction, ouster or removal of any tenant the
Purchaser agrees to cooperate with the Seller for
all reasonable respects and at no
<PAGE>
cost or expense to Purchaser, in connection with
such efforts by the Seller to collect such Rents
and Additional Rents and to take all steps, whether
before or after the Closing Date, as may be
reasonably necessary to carry out the intention of
the foregoing, including, without limitation, the
delivery to the Seller, upon demand, of any
relevant books and records (including any Rent or
Additional Rent statements, receipted bills and
copies of tenant checks used in payment of such
Rent or Additional Rent), the execution of any and
all consents or other documents, and the
undertaking of any act reasonably necessary for the
collection of such Rents and Additional Rents by
the Seller. If for any fiscal period which
includes the Adjustment Date tenants are paying
Additional Rent based upon estimates prepared by
the Seller, such Additional Rents shall be
reapportioned when the actual expenses for the
fiscal period are known.
3.3. Water.
If there is a water meter on the Property, the
Seller shall furnish a reading to a date not more than
thirty (30) days prior to the Closing Date, and the
unfixed water charges and sewer rent, if any, based
thereon for the intervening time shall be apportioned on
the basis of such last reading.
3.4. Utilities.
The Seller will use all commercially reasonable
efforts to obtain final cut-off readings of fuel,
telephone, electricity, and gas to be made as of the
Adjustment Date. The Seller shall pay the bills based
on such readings promptly after the same are rendered.
If arrangements cannot be made for any such cut-off
reading, the parties shall apportion the charges for
such services on the basis of the bill therefor for the
most recent billing period prior to the Adjustment Date,
and when final bills are rendered for the period which
includes the Adjustment Date the Seller and Purchaser
shall promptly readjust the apportionments in accordance
with such final bills.
3.5. Post-Closing Adjustments.
The items set forth in this Section 3 shall be
apportioned at the Closing by payment of the net amount
of such apportionments to the Seller in the manner set
forth herein for the
<PAGE>
payment of the Purchase Price if the net apportionment
is in favor of the Seller or by a credit against the
Purchase Price if the net apportionment is in favor of
the Purchaser. However, if any of the items subject to
apportionment under the foregoing provisions of this
Section 3 cannot be apportioned at the Closing because
of the unavailability of the information necessary to
compute such apportionment, or if any errors or
omissions in computing apportionments at the Closing are
discovered subsequent to the Closing, then such item
shall be reapportioned and such errors and omissions
corrected as soon as practicable after the Closing Date
and the proper party reimbursed, which obligation shall
survive the Closing for a period of one year after the
Closing Date. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing
provisions of this Section 3.5 to the contrary, the
Purchaser and the Seller agree that the one year
limitation set forth in this Section 3.5 shall not apply
to the parties' obligations under Sections 3.1 and 3.2
and that such obligations shall survive the Closing for
the period of the statute of limitations in connection
with such claims.
<PAGE>
3.6. Tax Certiorari.
Seller hereby acknowledges that tax proceedings are
currently pending for a reduction in the assessed
valuation of the Property for fiscal tax years 1997,
1998, 1999 and 2000. Seller hereby covenants that it
shall not, in connection with the proceedings referenced
in the prior sentence, take any action which would have
any affect on the assessed value of the Property for the
fiscal tax years 2000 and later without the prior
written consent of Purchaser, such consent not to be
unreasonably withheld or delayed.
4. Due Diligence Period.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
herein, the Purchaser shall have a Thirty (30) day period
commencing on the date hereof (the "Due Diligence Period") to
examine title to the Property, to inspect the physical and
financial condition of the Property and to review the
Property Information (including, without limitation,
environmental reports). Neither the Purchaser nor the
Purchaser's Representatives shall contact (i) any
governmental authority or any of the Seller's vendors,
employees, consultants or contractors prior to the Closing
without first notifying the Seller, or (ii) any of Seller's
tenants, without (a) obtaining the Seller's prior written
consent in each instance, which consent shall not be
reasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed and (b) arranging
and scheduling each such meeting with Seller's tenants with
Seller or Seller's on-site Property manager.
4.1. Access to the Property.
During the Due Diligence Period, the Purchaser and
the Purchaser's Representatives shall have the right to
enter upon the Property for the sole purpose of
inspecting the Property and making surveys, soil
borings, engineering tests and other investigations,
inspections and tests (collectively, "Investigations"),
provided (i) the Purchaser shall give the Seller not
less than two (2) business days' prior written notice
before each entry, (ii) the first such notice shall
include sufficient information to permit the Seller to
review the scope of the proposed Investigations, and
(iii) neither the Purchaser nor the Purchaser's
Representatives shall permit any borings, drillings or
invasive samplings to be done on the Property without
the Seller's prior written consent, not to be
unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Any
entry upon the Property and all Investigations shall be
during the Seller's normal business hours and at the
sole risk and expense of the Purchaser and the
Purchaser's Representatives, and Purchaser shall use all
commercially reasonable efforts so as to minimize
interference with the day-to-day operation of the
Property. The Purchaser shall:
(a) promptly repair any damage to the
Property resulting from any such Investigations,
refill and regrade any holes made in, or
excavations of, any portion of the Property used
for such Investigations so that the Property shall
be in substantially the same condition as that
which existed prior to such Investigations;
(b) fully comply with all Laws applicable to
the Investigations and all other activities
undertaken in connection therewith;
<PAGE>
(c) permit the Seller to have a
representative present during all Investigations
undertaken hereunder;
(d) take all commercially reasonable actions
and implement all commercially reasonable
protections necessary to ensure that all actions
taken in connection with the Investigations, and
the equipment, materials, and substances generated,
used or brought onto the Property pose no threat to
the safety or health of persons or the environment,
and cause no damage to the Property or other
property of the Seller or other persons;
(e) only in the event this Agreement is
terminated, if requested by the Seller in writing,
furnish to the Seller, at Seller's sole cost and
expense, copies of all surveys, soil test results,
engineering, asbestos, environmental and other
studies and reports relating to the Investigations
which the Purchaser shall obtain with respect to
the Property;
(f) maintain or cause to be maintained, at
the Purchaser's expense, a policy of comprehensive
general public liability insurance with a combined
single limit of not less than $1,000,000 per
occurrence for bodily injury and property damage,
automobile liability coverage including owned and
hired vehicles with a combined single limit of
$1,000,000 per occurrence for bodily injury and
property damage, and an excess umbrella liability
policy for bodily injury and property damage in the
minimum amount of $3,000,000, insuring the
Purchaser and the Seller and certain of Seller's
Affiliates listed on Schedule 4, as additional
insureds, against any injuries or damages to
persons or property that may result from or are
related to (i) the Purchaser's and/or the
Purchaser's Representatives' entry upon the
Property, (ii) any Investigations or other
activities conducted thereon by Purchaser or
Purchaser's Representatives, and (iii) any and all
other activities undertaken by the Purchaser and/or
the Purchaser's Representatives in connection with
the Property, and deliver evidence of such
insurance policy to the Seller at the earlier of
ten (10) days after the date of this Agreement or
the first entry on the Property;
(g) indemnify the Seller and the Seller's
Affiliates and hold the Seller and the Seller's
Affiliates harmless from and against any and all
claims, demands, causes of action, losses, damages,
liabilities, costs and expenses (including without
limitation reasonable attorneys' fees and
disbursements), suffered or incurred by the Seller
or any of the Seller's Affiliates to the extent
arising out of or in connection with (i) any
negligent or reckless
<PAGE>
acts or omissions of the Purchaser and/or
Purchaser's Representatives during (A) the
Purchaser and/or the Purchaser's Representatives'
entry upon the Property or (B) any Investigations
or other activities conducted thereon by the
Purchaser or the Purchaser's Representatives, and
(ii) any liens or encumbrances filed or recorded
against the Property as a consequence of the
Investigations or any other activities conducted
thereon by the Purchaser or the Purchaser's
Representatives. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in
no event shall Purchaser indemnify Seller for any
pre-existing conditions or findings, including,
without limitation, any violation of Applicable
Environmental Law or the existence of any Hazardous
Substance discovered during the course of
Purchaser's due diligence activities; and
(h) not, at any time, contact or communicate
with any tenant of the Property for any reason
whatsoever without the prior written approval of
the Seller, not to be unreasonably withheld,
conditioned or delayed, which communications,
whether by telephone, in writing or in person,
Seller or its designee shall have the right to be
present at or otherwise participate in.
The provisions of this Section 4.1 shall survive
the termination of this Agreement and the Closing.
4.2. Purchaser's Termination Notice.
Subject to the provisions of the last paragraph of
this Section 4.2, the Purchaser shall have the right to
elect to terminate this Agreement by giving written
notice (the "Purchaser's Termination Notice") of such
election to the Seller at any time prior to 5:00 p.m. on
the last day of the Due Diligence Period if the
Purchaser shall determine (in the exercise of its sole
and exclusive discretion) that Purchaser does not wish
to purchase the Property.
If for any reason whatsoever the Seller shall not
have received the Purchaser's Termination Notice prior
to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, the
Purchaser shall be deemed to have irrevocably waived the
right of termination granted under this Section 4.2, and
such right of termination shall be of no further force
or effect.
4.3. Estoppel Certificates.
Promptly after execution and delivery of this
Agreement, the Seller agrees to use all commercially
reasonable efforts to obtain an Estoppel Certificate
from each tenant under a Lease (as hereinafter defined
and with the exception of the Overlease) dated no
earlier than thirty (30) days prior to Closing, but in
no event shall it be deemed to be an obligation of the
Seller under this Agreement to obtain executed Estoppel
Certificates except for Estoppel Certificates from (i)
all tenants who lease space in excess of 10% of the net
rentable area of
<PAGE>
each of the Buildings, (ii) one-half of all other
tenants at the Buildings, and (iii) the following
tenants: (x) Nationwide Insurance; (y) Paging Network
and (z) American Home Assurance. The Estoppel
Certificates shall be in the form annexed hereto as
Exhibit G and made a part hereof; provided, however, if
any tenant is required or permitted under its Lease to
make different statements in a certificate of such
nature than are set forth in Exhibit G and Seller first
requests that such tenant sign an Estoppel Certificate
in the form of Exhibit G and such tenant declines, the
Seller may modify the Estoppel Certificate for such
tenant to set forth only the statements required under
such tenant's Lease to be made by such tenant in such a
certificate. If any tenant who is required to deliver
an Estoppel Certificate pursuant to this Section 4.3
fails to deliver an Estoppel Certificate in the form
required by this Agreement, Seller shall have the right
to substitute in lieu thereof an estoppel certificate
substantially in such form executed by Seller and such
estoppel certificate shall be treated for all purposes
as an Estoppel Certificate from such failing tenant. In
the event that after the Closing the Seller obtains and
delivers to the Purchaser an Estoppel Certificate from
any tenant in the form required by this Section 4.3 for
which the Seller has substituted an estoppel certificate
executed by it at the Closing, then such Seller estoppel
shall be of no further force and effect and the Seller
shall thereafter have no liability under such Seller
estoppel certificate.
5. Title.
The Seller shall convey and the Purchaser shall accept
title to the Property subject only to those matters set forth
on Schedule 5 hereto (collectively the "Permitted
Encumbrances"). The Purchaser has ordered at the Purchaser's
expense, a commitment for an owner's fee title insurance
policy with respect to the Property (the "Title Commitment")
from Commonwealth Land Title Insurance Company (the "Title
Company"), together with true and complete copies of all
instruments giving rise to any defects or exceptions to title
to the Property. Purchaser shall instruct the Title Company
to send to Seller's counsel a copy of the Title Commitment
and all related title exception documents to Seller upon
receipt of same. The Seller has delivered to the Purchaser,
an as-built survey which may, at Purchaser's option and
expense be updated, ("Survey") of the Land and Buildings and
prepared in accordance with the "Minimum Standard Detail
Requirements for ALTA/ACSM Land Title Surveys" jointly
established and adopted by ALTA and ACSM in 1992.
<PAGE>
5.1. Unacceptable Encumbrances.
If the Title Commitment or the Survey indicate the
existence of any liens or encumbrances (collectively,
"Liens") or other defects or exceptions in or to title
to the Property other than the Permitted Encumbrances
(collectively, the "Unacceptable Encumbrances") subject
to which the Purchaser is unwilling to accept title and
the Purchaser gives the Seller notice of the same within
ten (10) business days after receipt of the Title
Commitment and the Survey, the Seller shall undertake to
eliminate the same (or to arrange for title insurance
insuring against enforcement of such Unacceptable
Encumbrances against, or collection of the same out of,
the Property) subject to Section 5.2. The Purchaser
hereby waives any right the Purchaser may have to
advance as objections to title or as grounds for the
Purchaser's refusal to close this transaction any
Unacceptable Encumbrance which the Purchaser does not
notify the Seller of within such ten (10) business day
period unless (i) such Unacceptable Encumbrance was
first raised by the Title Company subsequent to the date
of the Title Commitment and the Survey, respectively,
and (ii) the Purchaser shall notify the Seller of the
same within ten (10) business days after the Title
Company first notifies Purchaser of such Unacceptable
Encumbrance. The Seller, in its sole discretion, may
adjourn the Closing one or more times for up to sixty
(60) days in the aggregate in order to eliminate
Unacceptable Encumbrances.
5.2. Removal of Unacceptable Encumbrances.
The Seller shall not be obligated to bring any
action or proceeding, to make any payments or otherwise
to incur any expense in order to eliminate Unacceptable
Encumbrances not waived by the Purchaser or to arrange
for title insurance insuring against enforcement of such
Unacceptable Encumbrances against, or collection of the
same out of, the Property; except that the Seller, at
its sole cost and expense, shall satisfy and cure
Unacceptable Encumbrances which are (i) mortgages, UCC-1
financing statements and past due real estate taxes and
assessments secured by or affecting the Property, and
(ii) judgments against the Seller or other Liens secured
by or affecting the Property which judgments and other
Liens can be satisfied by payment of liquidated amounts
not to exceed $100,000 in the aggregate for all such
judgments and other Liens. The Seller may eliminate any
such Unacceptable Encumbrance by the payment of amounts
necessary to cause the removal thereof of record, by
bonding over such Unacceptable Encumbrance in a manner
reasonably satisfactory to the Purchaser or by arranging
for title insurance reasonably satisfactory to the
Purchaser insuring against enforcement of such
Unacceptable Encumbrance against, or collection of the
same out of, the Property.
<PAGE>
5.3 Options Upon Failure to Remove Unacceptable Liens.
If the Seller is unable or is not otherwise
obligated (pursuant to Section 5.2) to eliminate all
Unacceptable Encumbrances not waived by the Purchaser,
or to bond over in a manner reasonably satisfactory to
the Purchaser any Unacceptable Encumbrances not waived
by the Purchaser, or to arrange for title insurance
reasonably acceptable to the Purchaser insuring against
enforcement of such Unacceptable Encumbrances against,
or collection of the same out of, the Property, and to
convey title in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement on or before the Closing Date (whether or not
the Closing is adjourned as provided in Section 5.1),
the Purchaser shall elect on the Closing Date, as its
sole remedy for such inability of the Seller, either (i)
to terminate this Agreement by notice given to the
Seller pursuant to Section 14.1, in which event the
provisions of Section 14.1 shall apply, or (ii) to
accept title subject to such Unacceptable Encumbrances
and receive no credit against, or reduction of, the
Purchase Price.
5.3. Use of Purchase Price.
If on the Closing Date there may be any Liens or
other encumbrances which the Seller must pay or
discharge in order to convey to the Purchaser such title
as is herein provided to be conveyed, the Seller may use
any portion of the Purchase Price to satisfy the same,
provided:
(a) the Seller shall deliver to the Purchaser
or the Title Company, at the Closing, instruments
in recordable form and sufficient to satisfy such
Liens (plus penalties and interest, if any) or
other encumbrances of record together with the cost
of recording or filing said instruments; or
(b) the Seller, having made arrangements with
the Title Company, shall deposit with said company
sufficient moneys (plus penalties and interest, if
any) acceptable to said company to insure the
obtaining and the recording of such satisfactions.
5.4. Franchise Taxes.
Any franchise or corporate tax open, levied or
imposed against the Seller or other owners in the chain
of title that may be a Lien on the Closing Date shall
not be an objection to title if the Title Company omits
same from the title policy issued pursuant to the Title
Commitment or excepts same but insures the Purchaser
against collection thereof out of the Property.
5.5. Transfer Taxes; Title Insurance Premiums.
At the Closing, the Seller shall pay all transfer
and recording taxes (the "Transfer Tax Payments")
imposed pursuant to the Laws of the State of New York or
any other governmental authority in respect of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement by delivery
to the Title Company of sufficient funds to pay such
taxes together with any return (the "Transfer Tax
Returns") required thereby which shall be duly executed,
and
<PAGE>
acknowledged where necessary by the Seller and the
Purchaser to the extent required by applicable law. At
the Closing, the premiums due the Title Company to
obtain title insurance policies in the form contemplated
by the Title Commitment (as the same may be amended
pursuant to this Agreement), the cost of obtaining the
survey and other Closing-related expenses shall be paid
in the manner set forth on Schedule 6 hereto. The
provisions of this Section 5.6 shall survive for six
months following the Closing Date.
5.6. Bulk Sales.
The Closing shall be consummated without compliance
with bulk sales laws. If by reason of any applicable
bulk sales law, any claims are asserted by creditors of
Seller related to periods prior to the Closing, such
claims shall be the responsibility of Seller, and Seller
shall jointly and severally indemnify, defend and hold
harmless Purchaser (and their respective directors,
officers, employees, affiliates, successors and assigns)
from and against all losses or liabilities, if any,
based upon, arising out of or otherwise in respect of
the failure to comply with such bulk sales laws.
6. Representations and Warranties of the Seller.
The Seller represents and warrants to the Purchaser as

Seller's actual knowledge, any provision of any laws or
governmental ordinances, rules, regulations, orders or
requirements (collectively, the "Laws") applicable to
the Seller. The consummation of the transactions
contemplated hereby will not result in a breach or
constitute a default or event of default by the Seller
under any agreement to which the Seller or any of its
assets are subject or bound and will not result in a
violation of any Laws applicable to the Seller.
(d) There are no leases, subleases, tenancies,
licenses or other use or occupancy agreements affecting
any portion of the Property on the date hereof, or any
amendments or modifications thereof, except for those
items listed in Schedule 7 annexed hereto and made a
part hereof (collectively, the "Leases"). The copies of
the Leases furnished by the Seller to the Purchaser are
true and complete. To the Seller's actual knowledge,
the Leases are in full force and effect, without any
material default by the Seller and/or tenants
thereunder. To the Seller's actual knowledge, except as
listed on Schedule 7, the Seller has not given or
received any notice of default which remains uncured or
unsatisfied, with respect to any of the Leases. As of
the Closing Date, all of the leasing commissions in

since the date the Seller acquired legal and beneficial

Hazardous Substance (as hereinafter defined) on the

remediation of which would have a material adverse
effect upon the value of the Property, and (ii) to
Seller's actual knowledge, neither Seller nor any third
party has received any written notice from any
governmental authority having jurisdiction over the
Property, nor does Seller have any knowledge, of any
violation of Applicable Environmental Law or any Permit
with respect to the Property which requires corrective
action, the cost of which would have a material adverse
effect upon the value of the Property. Disclosure of
any matter on Schedule 9 hereto shall not constitute any
admission by Seller that such matter was material or a
violation of Applicable Environmental Law. As used in
this Agreement, the term "Hazardous Substance" shall
mean any substance, chemical or waste that is currently
listed, defined or referred to as hazardous, toxic or
dangerous or as a pollutant or contaminant under

affecting the Property or the operation thereof, except
the Contracts as defined in Section 8(c) below. All of
the Contracts are and will on the Closing Date be
unmodified and to Seller's actual knowledge in full
force and effect without any default or claim of default
by any of the parties thereto, except those Purchaser
elects not to assume. To Seller's actual knowledge all
sums presently due and payable by Seller under the
Contracts have been fully paid and all sums which become
due and payable between the date hereof and the Closing
Date shall be fully paid by Seller on the Closing Date
or, with respect to work being performed to implement
tenant improvements, any lien that could result
therefrom will have been insured against by the Title
Company. Provided that Purchaser delivers to Seller
written notice of those Contracts Purchaser shall assume
at Closing, Seller hereby covenants and agrees to
terminate as of the Closing Date those Contracts not
being assumed by Purchaser.

Seller may, in its sole discretion, elect by notice to
the Purchaser to adjourn the Closing one or more times
for up to sixty (60) days in the aggregate in order to
cure or correct such untrue, inaccurate or incorrect
representation or warranty. If any such representation
or warranty is not cured or corrected by the Seller on
or before the Closing Date (whether or not the Closing
is adjourned as provided above), then the Purchaser, as
its sole remedy for such inability of Seller, shall
elect either (i) to waive such misrepresentations or
breaches of warranties and consummate the transactions
contemplated hereby without any reduction of or credit
against the Purchase Price, or (ii) to terminate this
Agreement by notice given to Seller pursuant to the
provisions of Section 14.1. In the event the Closing
occurs, the Purchaser hereby expressly waives,
relinquishes and releases any right or remedy available
to it at law, in equity or under this Agreement to make
a claim against the Seller for damages that the
Purchaser may incur, or to rescind this Agreement and
the transactions contemplated hereby, as the result of
any of the Seller's representations or warranties being
untrue, inaccurate or incorrect if the Purchaser knew

inaccurate or incorrect at the time of the Closing and
the Purchaser nevertheless closes title hereunder.

Seller has advised that neither the Seller nor any of
the Seller's Affiliates has made any independent
investigation or verification of, or has any knowledge
of, the accuracy or completeness of, the Property
Information (except that Seller represents that it has
provided Purchaser with true, accurate and complete
copies of the Property Information in its possession or
control); (iii) except as otherwise set forth herein,
the Purchaser is relying solely on its own

releases the Seller and the Seller's Affiliates, and
their agents and representatives, from any and all
liability with respect thereto. The Purchaser or anyone

now have or hereafter acquire against any of the Seller
or the Seller's Affiliates for any cost, loss,
liability, damage, expense, action or cause of action,
whether foreseen or unforeseen, arising from or related
to the presence of environmentally hazardous, toxic or
dangerous substances, or any other conditions (whether
patent, latent or otherwise) affecting the Property,
except for claims against the Seller based upon any
obligations and liabilities of the Seller expressly
provided in this Agreement.

10. Operation of the Property prior to the Closing Date.
Between the date hereof and the Closing Date, the Seller
shall have the right to continue to operate and maintain the
Property; provided, however, Seller shall continue to operate
and maintain the Property in the ordinary course of business
and use commercially reasonably efforts to reasonably
preserve for Purchaser the relationships of Seller and
Seller's tenants, suppliers, managers, employees and others
having on-going relationships with the Property.
10.1. New Leases.
Except as hereinafter provided in this Section
10.1, the Seller may modify, extend, renew, cancel or
permit the expiration of any Lease or enter into any
proposed Lease of all or any portion of the Property
without the Purchaser's consent; provided, however, that
such Lease is on Seller's standard form with such
changes as Seller deems appropriate in the exercise of
its reasonable discretion. After the execution and
delivery of this Agreement, the Seller shall not modify,
extend, renew or cancel (subject to Section 10.2) any
Lease or enter into any proposed Lease of all or any
portion of the Property without the Purchaser's prior
consent in each instance, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld and shall be given or denied, with
the reasons for any such denial, within seven (7) days
after receipt by the Purchaser of the Seller's notice,
which notice shall set forth all the details of the
transaction sufficient for Purchaser to make its
decision, including,
<PAGE>
without limitation, (i) the terms, plus any
options, (ii) the Rents and Additional Rents, (iii) the
scope and cost of tenant improvements, (iv) brokerage
commissions, (v) the space being let, and (vi) a
detailed summary of all New Lease Expenses, requesting
the Purchaser's consent to the proposed action relating
to such existing or proposed Lease. If the Purchaser
fails to reply to the Seller's request for consent in a
notice given within such period or if the Purchaser
expressly denies its consent but fails to provide the
Seller with the reasons for such denial, the Purchaser's
consent shall be deemed to have been granted.
10.1.1. New Lease Expenses.
If after the date of this Agreement, the
Seller, pursuant to Section 10.1, enters into any
Leases or any extension, renewal, expansion or
modification of any Leases (where such extension,
renewal, expansion or modification is not provided
for in such Lease), or if tenant exercises any
extension, renewal, expansion or modification of
any Leases (each, a "New Lease"), the Seller shall
keep accurate records of all expenses
(collectively, "New Lease Expenses") incurred in
connection with each New Lease, including, without
limitation, the following: (i) brokerage
commissions and fees relating to such leasing
transaction, (ii) expenses incurred for repairs,
improvements, equipment, painting, decorating,
partitioning and other items to satisfy the
tenant's requirements with regard to such leasing
transaction, (iii) reimbursements to the tenant
for the cost of any of the items described in the
preceding clause (ii), (iv) legal fees for services
in connection with the preparation of documents and
other services rendered in connection with the
effectuation of the leasing transaction, (v) rent
concessions relating to the demised space provided
the tenant has the right to take possession of such
demised space during the period of such rent
concessions, and (vi) expenses incurred for the
purpose of satisfying or terminating the
obligations of a tenant under a New Lease to the
landlord under another lease (whether or not such
other lease covers space in the Property).
10.1.2. Allocation of New Lease Expenses.
The New Lease Expenses for each New Lease
allocable to and payable by the Seller shall be
determined by multiplying the amount of such New
Lease Expenses by a fraction, the numerator of
which shall be the number of days contained in that
portion, if any, of the term of such New Lease
commencing on the date on which the tenant
thereunder shall have commenced to pay fixed rent
("Rent Commencement Date") and expiring on the date
immediately preceding the Closing Date, and the
denominator of which shall be the total number of
days contained in the period commencing on the Rent
Commencement Date and expiring on the date of the
scheduled expiration of the term of such New Lease,
without provision for any optional extensions or
renewals, and the
<PAGE>
remaining balance of the New Lease Expenses
for each New Lease shall be allocable to and
payable by the Purchaser by addition to the
Purchase Price. At the Closing, the Purchaser
shall reimburse the Seller for all New Lease
Expenses theretofore paid by the Seller, if any, in
excess of the portion of the New Lease Expenses
allocated to the Seller pursuant to the provisions
of the preceding sentence. For purposes of this
Section 10.1.2, the Rent Commencement Date under a
renewal, extension, expansion or modification of a
Lease shall be deemed to be (i) in the case of a
renewal or extension (whether effective prior to or
after the Closing, or in the form of an option
exercisable in the future), the first date during
such renewal or extension period after the
originally scheduled expiration of the term of such
Lease on which the tenant under such Lease which is
renewed, extended, expanded on or modified after
the date hereof commences to pay fixed rent, (ii)
in the case of an expansion (whether effective
prior to or after the Closing, or in the form of an
option exercisable in the future), the date on
which the tenant under such Lease commences to pay
fixed rent for the additional space, and (iii) in
the case of a modification not also involving a
renewal, extension or expansion of such Lease, the
effective date of such modification agreement. The
provisions of this Section 10.1.2 shall survive the
Closing.
<PAGE>
10.2. Termination of Existing Leases.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
in this Agreement, the Seller reserves the right, but is
not obligated, to institute summary proceedings against
any tenant or terminate any Lease as a result of a
default by the tenant thereunder prior to the Closing
Date with the prior written consent of Purchaser, such
consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed;
provided, however, that such consent will not be
required with respect to leases with Resource Mortgage
and AAT Communications. The Seller makes no
representations and assumes no responsibility with
respect to (i) the continued occupancy of the Property
or any part thereof by any tenant and (ii) the
fulfillment by any tenant of its obligations under any
Lease. The removal of a tenant whether by summary
proceedings or otherwise prior to the Closing Date shall
not give rise to any claim on the part of the Purchaser,
provided Seller has obtained Purchaser's prior written
consent (as provided in the first sentence of this
Section 10.2) for such summary proceedings or otherwise,
and provided further that no such consent from Purchaser
shall be required with respect to leases with Resource
Mortgage and AAT Communications. Further, the Purchaser
agrees that it shall not be grounds for the Purchaser's
refusal to close this transaction that any tenant is a
holdover tenant or in default under its Lease pursuant
to any economic or non-economic terms of its Lease on
the Closing Date and the Purchaser shall accept title
subject to such holding over or default without credit
against, or reduction of, the Purchase Price. The terms
of this Section 10.2 are not applicable to the
Overlease, which Purchaser recognizes shall be
terminated at Closing pursuant to the Termination,
Assignment and Recognition Agreement.
10.3. Contracts.
Except as hereinafter provided in this Section
10.3, the Seller may cancel, modify, extend, renew or
permit the expiration of Contracts or enter into any new
Contract without the Purchaser's prior consent but only
after giving Purchaser prior notice of such
cancellation, modification, extension or renewal. Any
new Contracts entered into between the date of this
Agreement and the expiration of the Due Diligence Period
will be terminable at or prior to the Closing without
charge or penalty to Purchaser. After the expiration of
the Due Diligence Period, the Seller shall not modify,
extend, renew or cancel (except as a result of a default
by the other party thereunder or if the Purchaser has
given notice pursuant to Section 6(g) that a Contract is
not to be assumed) any Contracts, or enter into any new
Contract without the Purchaser's prior consent in each
instance, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed, and if withheld, the Purchaser
shall
<PAGE>
promptly give the Seller a notice stating the
reasons therefor. If the Purchaser fails to reply within
five (5) days to the Seller's request for consent in a
notice given pursuant to this Section 10.3 or if the
Purchaser expressly denies its consent but fails to
provide the Seller with the reasons for such denial, the
Purchaser's consent shall be deemed to have been
granted.
10.4. Operation and Maintenance of Property.
The Seller covenants and agrees that between the
date hereof and the Closing Date the Seller shall
perform or observe the following:
(a) Seller shall not:
(i) Enter into any agreement requiring
Seller to do work for any tenant after the
Closing Date without first obtaining the prior
written consent of Purchaser;
(ii) Apply any Security Deposits with
respect to any tenant in occupancy on the
Closing Date;
(iii) Remove any Personal Property
located in or on the Property, except as may
be required for repair and replacement. All
replacements shall be free and clear of liens
and encumbrances and shall be of quality at
least equal to the replaced items and shall be
deemed included in this sale, without cost or
expense to Purchaser; or
(iv) Cause or permit the Property, or any
interest therein, to be alienated, mortgaged,
licensed, encumbered or otherwise be
transferred.
(b) Up to and including the Closing Date,
Seller agrees to maintain and keep such hazard,
liability and casualty insurance policies in full
force and effect in such amounts and covering such
risks sufficiently to protect the Property and to
protect, to a reasonable and prudent extent, the
owner of the Property, in such amounts as are
required so as not to be deemed a co-insurer, and
for actual replacement cost, against any loss,
damage, claim or liability.
(c) Seller shall cancel, at its sole cost and
expense, those Contracts which Purchaser elects not
to assume.
(d) Seller shall permit Purchaser and its
authorized representatives to inspect the Books and
Records of its operations at all reasonable times.
All Books and Records not conveyed to Purchaser
hereunder shall be maintained for Purchaser's
inspection at Seller's address as set forth above.
(e) Seller shall promptly notify the
Purchaser of, and shall also promptly deliver to
the Purchaser, a certified true and complete copy
of any Notice the Seller may receive, on or before
the Closing Date, from any Governmental Authority,
concerning a violation of Applicable Environmental
Laws or discharge of Hazardous Substances.
<PAGE>
10.4.1. Broker.
The Purchaser and the Seller represent and warrant to
each other that Insignia/ESG, Inc. (the "Broker") is the sole
broker with whom they have dealt in connection with the
Property and the transactions described herein. The Seller
shall be liable for, and shall indemnify the Purchaser
against, all brokerage commissions or other compensation due
to the Broker arising out of the transaction contemplated in
this Agreement, which compensation shall be paid subject and
pursuant to a separate agreement between the Seller and the
Broker. Each party hereto agrees to indemnify, defend and
hold the other harmless from and against any and all claims,
causes of action, losses, costs, expenses, damages or
liabilities, including reasonable attorneys' fees and
disbursements, which the other may sustain, incur or be
exposed to, by reason of any claim or claims by any broker,
finder or other person, except (in the case of the Purchaser
as indemnitor hereunder) the Broker, for fees, commissions or
other compensation arising out of the transactions
contemplated in this Agreement if such claim or claims are
based in whole or in part on dealings or agreements with the
indemnifying party. The obligations and representations and
warranties contained in this Section 11 shall survive the
termination of this Agreement and the Closing.
<PAGE>
11. Casualty; Condemnation.
11.1. Damage or Destruction.
If a "material" part (as hereinafter defined) of
the Property is damaged or destroyed by fire or other
casualty, the Seller shall notify the Purchaser of such
fact and the Purchaser shall have the option to
terminate this Agreement upon notice to the Seller given
not later than ten (10) days after receipt of the
Seller's notice. If (i) the Purchaser does not elect to
terminate this Agreement as to the damaged Property, or
(ii) there is damage to or destruction of an
"immaterial" part ("immaterial" is herein deemed to be
any damage or destruction which is not "material", as
such term is hereinafter defined) of the Property, the
Purchaser shall close title as provided in this
Agreement and, at the Closing, the Seller shall, unless
the Seller has repaired such damage or destruction prior
to the Closing, (x) pay over to the Purchaser the
proceeds of any insurance collected by the Seller plus
any deductible less the amount of all costs incurred by
the Seller in connection with the repair of such damage
or destruction, and (y) assign and transfer to the
Purchaser all right, title and interest of the Seller in
and to any uncollected insurance proceeds which the
Seller may be entitled to receive from such damage or
destruction. A "material" part of the Property shall be
deemed to have been damaged or destroyed if the cost of
repair or replacement shall exceed $500,000.
11.2. Condemnation.
If, prior to the Closing Date, all or any
"significant" portion (as hereinafter defined) of the
Property is taken by eminent domain or condemnation (or
is the subject of a pending taking which has not been
consummated), the Seller shall promptly notify the
Purchaser of such fact and the Purchaser shall have the
option to terminate this Agreement upon notice to the
Seller given not later than ten (10) days after receipt
of the Seller's notice. If the Purchaser does not elect
to terminate this Agreement, or if an "insignificant"
portion ("insignificant" is herein deemed to be any
taking which is not "significant", as such term is
herein defined) of the Property is taken by eminent
domain or condemnation, at the Closing the Seller shall
assign and turnover, and the Purchaser shall be entitled
to receive and keep, all awards or other proceeds for
such taking by eminent domain or condemnation. A
"significant" portion of the Property means (i) any
portion of the Buildings, (ii) any portion of the
parking areas, or (iii) any legally required driveway on
the Land.
11.3. Termination.
If the Purchaser effectively terminates this
Agreement pursuant to Section 12.1 or 12.2, this
Agreement shall be terminated and the rights of the
parties shall be the same as if notice of termination
were given pursuant to Section 14.1. The provisions of
this Section 12 are intended to supercede and replace
any inconsistent or conflicting provisions set forth in
Section 5-1311 of the General Obligations Law of the
State of New York.

<PAGE>
13. Remedies.
13.1. Seller's Inability to Perform.
If the Closing fails to occur by reason of the
Seller's inability to perform its obligations under this
Agreement which has not been waived pursuant to Section
13.3, then the Purchaser, as its sole remedy for such
inability of the Seller, may terminate this Agreement by
notice to the Seller. If the Purchaser elects to
terminate this Agreement, then this Agreement shall be
terminated and neither party shall have any further
rights, obligations or liabilities hereunder other than
those obligations, rights and liabilities which by the
terms of this Agreement expressly survive the
termination of this Agreement (the "Surviving
Obligations"), and except that the Purchaser shall be
entitled to a return of the Deposit provided the
Purchaser is not otherwise in default hereunder. Except
as set forth in this Section 14.1, the Purchaser hereby
expressly waives, relinquishes and releases any other
right or remedy available to it at law, in equity or
otherwise by reason of the Seller's inability to perform
its obligations hereunder. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary herein, if the Seller's inability to
perform its obligations under this Agreement is a result
of any action of, or failure to act by, the Purchaser or
any of the Purchaser's Representatives, the Purchaser
shall not be relieved of its obligations under this
Agreement and Purchaser shall not be entitled to any
right or remedy provided in this Section 14.1 or
elsewhere in this Agreement.
13.2. Purchaser's Failure to Perform.
In the event of a default hereunder by the
Purchaser or if the Closing fails to occur by reason of
the Purchaser's failure or refusal to perform its
obligations hereunder, then the Seller may terminate
this Agreement by notice to the Purchaser. If the
Seller elects to terminate this Agreement, then this
Agreement shall be terminated and the Seller may retain
the Deposit as liquidated damages for all loss, damage
and expenses suffered by the Seller, it being agreed
that the Seller's damages are impossible to ascertain,
and neither party shall have any further rights,
obligations or liabilities hereunder, except for the
Surviving Obligations. Nothing contained herein shall
limit or restrict the Seller's ability to pursue any
rights or remedies it may have against the Purchaser
with respect to the Surviving Obligations. Except as
set forth in this Section 14.2 and the Surviving
Obligations, the Seller hereby expressly waives,
relinquishes and releases any other right or remedy
available to them at law, in equity or otherwise by
reason of the Purchaser's default hereunder or the
Purchaser's failure or refusal to perform its
obligations hereunder. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary herein, if the Purchaser's default or the
Purchaser's failure or refusal to perform its
obligations under this Agreement is a result of any
action of, or failure to act by, the Seller or any of
the Seller's Affiliates, the Seller shall not be
relieved of its obligations under this Agreement and the
Seller shall not be entitled to any right or remedy
provided in this Section 14.2 or elsewhere in this
Agreement.
<PAGE>
13.3. Seller's Failure to Perform.
If the Closing fails to occur by reason of the
Seller's failure or refusal to perform its obligations
hereunder or due to the willful breach of any
representation or warranty set forth herein which has
not been waived by the Purchaser, then the Purchaser, as
its sole remedy hereunder, may (i) terminate this
Agreement by notice to the Seller or (ii) seek specific
performance from the Seller. As a condition precedent
to the Purchaser exercising any right it may have to
bring an action for specific performance as the result
of the Seller's failure or refusal to perform their
obligations hereunder, the Purchaser must commence such
an action within ninety (90) days after the occurrence
of such default. The Purchaser agrees that its failure
to timely commence such an action for specific
performance within such ninety (90) day period shall be
deemed a waiver by it of its right to commence such an
action. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
herein, if the Seller's failure or refusal to perform
its obligations under this Agreement is a result of any
action of, or failure to act by, the Purchaser or any of
the Purchaser's Representatives, the Purchaser shall not
be relieved of its obligations under this Agreement and
Purchaser shall not be entitled to any right or remedy
provided in this Section 14.3 or elsewhere in this
Agreement. Notwithstanding the above provisions, in the
event Seller voluntarily transfers or conveys the
Property to a third-party purchaser during the pendency
of this Agreement and prior to Closing, Purchaser may
bring a claim against Seller for money damages, provided
that such damages shall not, in any event exceed One
Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00).
<PAGE>
14. Escrow.
The Escrow Agent shall hold the Downpayment and all
interest accrued thereon, if any (collectively, the

accordance with the provisions of that certain Escrow
Agreement of even date herewith by and among the Escrow
Agent, the Purchaser and the Seller relating to the Property
(the "Escrow Agreement") in the form of Exhibit I hereto.
Simultaneously with their execution and delivery of this
Agreement, the Purchaser and the Seller shall furnish the
Escrow Agent with their true Federal Taxpayer Identification

tax information returns with respect to any interest earned
on or credited to the Deposit. The party entitled to the
economic benefit of the Deposit shall be the party
responsible for the payment of any tax due on the interest on
the Downpayment.
The provisions of the Escrow Agreement shall survive the
termination of this Agreement and the Closing.

reporting requirements.

party hereto. It is understood that the foregoing shall
not preclude either party from discussing the substance
or any relevant details of the transactions contemplated
in this Agreement with any of its attorneys,
accountants, professional consultants or potential

hereto from complying with Laws, including, without
limitation, governmental regulatory, disclosure, tax and
reporting requirements.
16.2. Return of Property Information.

Purchaser shall promptly deliver to the Seller a letter
