The party entitled to the Deposit shall pay any income taxes payable with respect to the interest earned thereon.

c. | Escrow Agent shall acknowledge receipt of the Deposit and agrees to hold the Deposit in the Escrow Account pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement for application in accordance with the provisions hereof, upon the following terms:

i. | Escrow Agent shall have no duties or responsibilities other than those expressly set forth herein. Escrow Agent shall have no duty to enforce any obligation of any Person to make any payment or delivery or to enforce any obligation of any Person to perform any other act. Escrow Agent shall be under no liability to the other parties hereto or to anyone else by reason of any failure on the part of any party hereto (other than Escrow Agent) or any maker, guarantor, endorser or other signatory of any document or any other Person to perform such Person's obligations under any such document. Except for this Agreement and amendments to this Agreement hereinafter referred to and except for joint instructions given to Escrow Agent by Seller and Purchaser relating to the Deposit, Escrow Agent shall not be obligated to recognize any agreement between any or all of the Persons referred to herein, notwithstanding that references thereto may be made herein and whether or not Escrow Agent has knowledge thereof.

11. | In Escrow Agent's capacity as Escrow Agent, Escrow Agent shall not be responsible for the genuineness or validity of any security, instrument, document or item deposited with Escrow Agent and shall have no responsibility other than to faithfully follow the instructions contained herein, and Escrow Agent is fully protected in acting in accordance with any written instrument given to Escrow Agent hereunder by any of the parties hereto and reasonably believed by Escrow Agent to have been signed by the proper person or party. Escrow Agent may assume that any Person purporting to give any notice hereunder has been duly authorized to do so by the party on whose behalf such notice is given. Escrow Agent is acting as a stakeholder only with respect to the Deposit.

d. Subject to Section 5e hereof, Escrow Agent shall deliver the Deposit to Seller or to
Purchaser, as the case may be, under the following conditions:

1. | The Deposit shall be delivered to Seller at the Closing upon receipt by Escrow Agent of a statement executed by Purchaser authorizing the Deposit to be released; or

11. | The Deposit shall be delivered to Seller following receipt by Escrow Agent of demand therefor from Seller stating that Purchaser has defaulted in the performance of Purchaser's obligations under this Agreement, provided Purchaser has not given an Objection Notice in accordance with the provisions set forth below; or

e. | Upon the receipt by Escrow Agent of notice of any demand by either party claiming that such party is entitled to the Deposit or notice of any other claim or the commencement of any action, suit or proceeding by either party (a "Demand Notice"), Escrow Agent shall promptly (but no later than three (3) Business Days after Escrow Agent's receipt of such Demand Notice) deliver a copy of the Demand Notice to the other party. The other party shall have the right to object to the delivery of the Deposit, by giving notice of such objection to Escrow Agent (such notice, an "Objection Notice") at any time on or before the fifth (5th) Business Day after such party's receipt of a copy of the Demand Notice from Escrow Agent, but not thereafter. If such other party does not deliver such Objection Notice within such period of five (5) Business Days, then such other party shall be deemed to have waived such party's right to object to Escrow Agent's compliance with such demand for delivery of the Deposit. Upon receipt of an Objection Notice (but no later than three (3) Business Days after Escrow Agent's receipt thereof), Escrow Agent shall promptly give a copy of the Objection Notice to the party that filed the Demand Notice. The foregoing period of five (5) Business Days does not constitute a cure period in which either Seller or Purchaser, as the case may be, shall be required to

accept tender of cure of any default under this Agreement. If Escrow Agent receives the Objection Notice provided for in this Section 5e within the time therein prescribed, then Escrow Agent shall continue to hold the Deposit until (A) Escrow Agent receives joint notice from Seller and Purchaser directing the disbursement of the Deposit, in which case Escrow Agent shall then disburse the Deposit in accordance with said direction, (B) litigation is commenced between Seller and Purchaser, in which case Escrow Agent may deposit the Deposit with the clerk of the court in which said litigation is pending, or (C) Escrow Agent takes such affirmative steps as Escrow Agent may elect, at Escrow Agent's option, in order to terminate Escrow Agent's duties hereunder (but in no event disbursing the Deposit to either Seller or Purchaser), including depositing the Deposit in court and commencing an action for interpleader, the costs thereof to be borne by whichever of Seller or Purchaser is the losing party in the litigation described in Section
5e(B) hereof.

Escrow Agent shall not be liable to the other parties hereto or to anyone else for any action taken or omitted by Escrow Agent, or any action suffered by Escrow Agent to be taken or omitted, except for acts of willful misconduct or gross negligence. Escrow Agent may rely conclusively and shall be protected in acting upon any order, notice, demand, certificate, opinion or advice of counsel (including counsel chosen by Escrow Agent), statement, instrument, report or other paper or document (not only as to the due execution and the validity and effectiveness thereof, but also as to the truth and acceptability of any information therein contained) reasonably believed by Escrow Agent to be genuine and to be signed or presented by the proper person or persons. Escrow Agent shall not be bound by any modification of this Agreement made without Escrow Agent's prior written consent that affects the duties or rights of Escrow Agent.

g. | Provided that Escrow Agent delivers a copy of the Demand Notice in accordance with the terms of Section 5e hereof, Escrow Agent shall have the right to assume in the absence of notice to the contrary that a fact or an event by reason of which an action would or might be taken by Escrow Agent does not exist or has not occurred, without incurring liability to the other parties hereto or to anyone else for any action taken or omitted, or any action suffered by Escrow Agent to be taken or omitted, in good faith and in the exercise of reasonable judgment, in reliance upon such assumption.

h. | Except in connection with Escrow Agent's willful misconduct or gross negligence, Escrow Agent shall be indemnified and held harmless jointly and severally by Seller and Purchaser from and against any and all Loss suffered by Escrow Agent (as escrow agent), including reasonable attorneys' fees, in connection with any action, suit or other proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the services of Escrow Agent hereunder or the monies held by Escrow Agent hereunder.

Such party that will no longer be serving as escrow agent shall deliver, against receipt, to such successor escrow agent, the Deposit held by such party, to be held by such successor escrow agent pursuant to the terms and provisions of this Agreement. If no such successor has been designated on or before Escrow Agent ceases to be escrow agent hereunder, whether by resignation or otherwise, then Escrow Agent's obligations as escrow agent shall continue until such successor is appointed; provided, however. that Escrow Agent's sole obligation thereafter shall be to safely keep the Deposit and to deliver the Deposit to the Person designated as Escrow Agent's successor or until directed by a final order or judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, whereupon Escrow Agent shall make disposition of the Deposit in accordance with such order. If no successor escrow agent is designated and qualified within five (5) business days after Escrow Agent's resignation is effective, such party that will no longer be serving as escrow agent may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor escrow agent.

a. | The parties acknowledge and agree that Purchaser has delivered to Seller the Title Report. Purchaser shall obtain at Purchaser's own expense an owner's policy of title insurance (the "Owner's Policy") from the Title Company and, if applicable, a lender's policy of title insurance from the Title Company. Purchaser shall be deemed to have waived Purchaser's right to object to any liens, encumbrances or other title exceptions that in each case constitute Permitted Encumbrances. In addition, Purchaser shall not be entitled to object to, and shall be deemed to have approved, any liens, encumbrances or other title exceptions (i) which the Title Company is willing to omit as exceptions to title at no additional cost to Purchaser (or with Seller agreeing to cover any such cost), provided that same shall not adversely affect the continued use and existence of the Real Property as same exists and is being used as of the Effective Date, unless caused by the acts of Purchaser or its agents or (ii) which will be extinguished upon the transfer of the Property to Purchaser and will be omitted as exceptions to title at no additional cost to Purchaser (or with Seller agreeing to cover any such cost) (collectively, the "Non Objectionable Encumbrances").

b. | i. It is expressly understood that in no event shall Seller be required to bring any action or institute any proceeding, or to otherwise incur any costs or expenses, in order to cause, or attempt to cause, title to the Property to be in accordance with the terms of this Agreement on the Closing Date, except as set forth in Section 7bii hereof. Seller may elect to remove a title matter that is neither a Permitted Encumbrance nor a Must Cure Lien (such title matter that is neither a Permitted Encumbrance nor a Must Cure Lien, a "Title Defect"), and, if Seller so elects to remove a Title Defect, then, upon prior notice to Purchaser, Seller shall be entitled to one (I) or more adjournments of the Scheduled Closing Date for a period of time not to exceed sixty (60) days in the aggregate (when aggregated with all other rights of Seller to adjourn the Scheduled Closing Date under this Agreement) in order to endeavor to remove such Title Defect. If Seller gives notice to Purchaser that Seller is unable to convey title to the Property on the Scheduled Closing Date, as such date may be adjourned pursuant to this Agreement, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement due to a Title Defect (such notice, "Seller's Title Problem Notice"), then Purchaser shall elect, by notice to Seller, either (x) to terminate this Agreement, whereupon Purchaser shall receive a return of the Deposit and the parties shall have no further rights or obligations hereunder except for the Effective Date Surviving Obligations, or (y) to proceed to Closing and accept title to the Property subject to the Title Defect, without any abatement of the Purchase Price, and without any

liability or obligation on the part of Seller by reason of such Title Defect. If Purchaser does not notify Seller of Purchaser's election to either terminate this Agreement or close over such Title Defects within five (5) Business Days following the date that Seller gives to Purchaser Seller's Title Problem Notice (but, in any event, not later than the Closing), then Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected to close the transaction contemplated hereunder, subject to the Title Defects (without any abatement of the Purchase Price, or any liability or obligation on the part of Seller by reason of such Title Defects).
ii. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 7bi, and subject to the terms of this Section7bii, Seller shall be obligated to remove (A) all mortgages which encumber Seller's interest in the Property (collectively, "Mortgages"), except those Mortgages that are assigned to Purchaser's lender pursuant to Section 17c below, in which case such Mortgages shall be deemed to be Permitted Encumbrances, (B) all judgment liens and all tax liens that in either case are due and payable by Seller or any predecessor in interest to Seller, (C) all liens or other title encumbrances that in either case Seller voluntarily grants or knowingly suffers or allows to be placed on the Property, other than (i) Permitted Encumbrances and (ii) any liens or other title encumbrances to which Purchaser consents in writing or were placed on the Property by Purchaser, and (D) all mechanic's liens affecting the Property attributable to work performed by Seller (the liens and mortgages set forth in clauses (A), (B), (C) and .(Q1 collectively, "Must Cure Liens"). If Seller is required to remove a Must Cure Lien pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, then, failure to do so shall be deemed a default by Seller under this Agreement, and upon prior notice to Purchaser, Seller shall be entitled to one (I) or more adjournments of the Scheduled Closing Date for a period oftime not to exceed sixty (60) days in the aggregate (when aggregated with all other rights of Seller to adjourn the Scheduled Closing Date under this Agreement) in order to remove such Must Cure Lien. If the Title Company is willing to omit such Must Cure Lien from the Owner's Policy or Purchaser's lender's policy, if any, based on an indemnity or an escrow being provided by Seller, or otherwise, then Seller shall not be required to remove such Must Cure Lien, provided that the foregoing shall not apply to Mortgages which must be removed unless they are assigned to Purchaser's lender pursuant to Section 17c below.

c. | Any lien, encumbrance or other exception arising as a result of any act or omission of Purchaser or anyone acting on behalf of Purchaser shall be deemed a Permitted Encumbrance.

d. | Purchaser acknowledges that, pursuant to the Scholastic Lease, Purchaser is required to cure and discharge any and all notes or notices of violations of any legal requirement noted in or issued by any governmental authority (individually, a "Violation," and collectively, "Violations"). Accordingly, Purchaser agrees to purchase the Property subject to all Violations and/or any condition or state of repair or disrepair and/or other matter or thing, whether or not noted, which, if noted, would result in a Violation being placed on the Property. Seller shall have no duty to remove or comply with or repair or disrepair any condition, matter or thing, whether or not noted, which, if noted, would result in a Violation being placed on the Property. Seller shall have no duty to remove or comply with or repair any of the aforementioned Violations or other conditions, and Purchaser shall accept the Property subject to all such Violations and the existence of any conditions at the Property which would give rise to such Violations and any claims of any governmental authority arising from the existence of such Violations, in each case, without any abatement of or credit against the Purchase Price.

218776-10003
agreed that the damages by reason of Purchaser's default are difficult, if not impossible, to ascertain, and thereafter Purchaser and Seller shall have no further rights or obligations under this Agreement except for the Effective Date Surviving Obligations.

b. | If Seller (i) defaults in any of its obligations to be performed on the Closing Date or (ii) defaults in the performance of any of its obligations to be performed prior to the Closing Date and, with respect to any default under this clause (ii) only, such default caused actual damages in excess of $250,000 to Purchaser, and continues for ten (10) business days after written notice to Seller, then Purchaser as Purchaser's sole remedy by reason thereof (in lieu of, except as provided in the last sentence of this Section 21b, prosecuting an action for damages or proceeding with any other legal course of action, the right to bring such actions or proceedings being expressly and voluntarily waived by Purchaser, to the extent legally permissible, following and upon advice of counsel) shall have the right, subject to the other provisions of this Section 2lb. (A) to seek to obtain specific performance of Seller's obligations hereunder (it being expressly acknowledged by Purchaser that the remedy of specific performance is an appropriate remedy if Seller defaults under this Agreement), provided that any action for specific performance shall be commenced within sixty (60) days after such default, or (B) to receive a return of the Deposit (subject to the terms and conditions of Section 4 hereof) and terminate this Agreement by written notice to Seller and receive from Seller an amount equal to Purchaser's out-of-pocket costs in connection with the transaction contemplated hereby for title charges and survey costs, which out-of-pocket costs shall not exceed $100,000, it being understood that if Purchaser does not commence an action for specific performance within sixty (60) days after such default, then Purchaser's sole remedy shall be to receive a return of the Deposit (subject to the terms and conditions of Section 4 hereof), terminate this Agreement and recover such out-of-pocket costs. Upon such return and delivery of the Deposit and costs, this Agreement shall terminate and neither party hereto shall have any further obligations hereunder except for the Effective Date Surviving Obligations.

requirement applicable to Seller. Nothing contained in this Section 21 is intended to or shall be construed to limit any right or remedy of Purchaser after the Closing for a breach of any Seller's Representation which survives the Closing. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, if (i) Seller defaults in any of Seller's material obligations to be performed on the Closing Date, (ii) specific performance of Seller's obligations herein is not an available remedy, and (iii) Seller's default is reasonably determined to be willful and committed in bad faith, then, in addition to any other remedies set forth herein, Purchaser may take any other legal course of action against Seller, including an action for damages (but not consequential or punitive damages, provided that, if Seller willfully breaches this Agreement and conveys the Property to a third party for a price in excess of the Purchase Price, such excess purchase price shall not be deemed consequential damages).

d. The provisions of this Section 21 shall constitute Surviving Obligations.
22. ASSIGNMENT
Purchaser shall not assign or otherwise transfer this Agreement or any of Purchaser's rights or obligations hereunder or any of the direct or indirect ownership interests in Purchaser, without first obtaining Seller's prior written consent thereto, unless (a) such assigmnent or transfer is to a Person in which Purchaser or its parent owns all or a portion of the equity interests (an "affiliate"), (b) Purchaser provides Seller with notice of such assigmnent or transfer and the assigmnent or transfer documentation not less than ten (10) days prior to the Scheduled Closing Date, as such date may be extended pursuant to this Agreement, and (c) in the case of an assigmnent, the assignee assumes all of the obligations of Purchaser pursuant to a written instrument reasonably acceptable to Seller. Upon such assigument pursuant to the foregoing clauses (a), (b) and (c), Purchaser shall furnish Seller with reasonable evidence that the assignee is an affiliate. Upon any assigmnent effectuated in accordance with the terms of this Section 22, Purchaser shall no longer have any rights and shall be relieved of all of its obligations, under this Agreement (other than under Section 4), provided that the assignee assumes all of the obligations of Purchaser pursuant to a written instrument reasonably acceptable to Seller. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) Seller acknowledges that Purchaser's indirect owner is an entity whose common stock is traded on a national securities exchange or in the over-the-counter securities market and, accordingly, transfers in the ordinary course of business of securities of such indirect owner shall be permitted without first obtaining Seller's prior written consent thereto, and (ii) under no circumstances shall Purchaser have the right to assign this Agreement or transfer any of the direct or indirect ownership interest in Purchaser to any Person, including, without limitation, a Person owned or controlled by an employee benefit plan, if Seller's sale of the Property to such Person would, in the reasonable opinion of Seller's ERISA advisors or consultants, create or otherwise cause a "prohibited transaction" under ERISA. If Purchaser assigns this Agreement or transfers any of the direct or indirect ownership interest in Purchaser, and such assigmnent or transfer would make the consummation of the transaction hereunder a "prohibited transaction" under ERISA and necessitate the termination of this Agreement then, notwithstanding any contrary provision which may be contained herein, such assigmnent or transfer shall be null and void and of no force and effect.

b. | Any consent or approval to be given hereunder (whether by Seller or Purchaser) shall not be effective unless such consent or approval is in writing. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, any consent or approval requested of Seller or Purchaser may be withheld by Seller or Purchaser in its sole and absolute discretion.

c. The following provisions govern any actions for indemnity under this Agreement.
Promptly after receipt by an indemnitee of notice of any claim, such indemnitee shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnitor, deliver to the indemnitor written notice thereof and the indemnitor shall have the right to participate in and, if the indemnitor agrees in writing that it shall be responsible for any Losses incurred by the indemnitee with respect to such claim, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel selected by the indemnitor and reasonably acceptable to the indemnitee; provided, ho wever, that an indemnitee shall have the right to retain its own counsel, with the fees and expenses to be paid by the indemnitor, if the indemnitee reasonably believes that representation of such indemnitee by the counsel retained by the indemnitor would be
inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such indemnitee and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. The failure of indemnitee to deliver notice to the indemnitor within a reasonable time after indemnitee receives notice of any such claim shall relieve such indemnitor of any liability to the indemnitee under this indemnity if and to the extent that such failure is prejudicial to indemnitor's ability to defend such action, and the omission so to deliver notice to the indemnitor shall not relieve the indemnitor of any liability that the indemnitor may have to any indemnitee other than under this indemnity. If an indemnitee settles a claim without the prior written consent of the indemnitor, then the indemnitor shall be released from liability with respect to such claim unless the indemnitor has unreasonably withheld such consent. Indemnitor shall not settle any suit, action or proceeding against an indemnitee, without the indemnitee's consent, if such settlement includes any admission of guilt or liability on the part of indemnitee, or imposes any obligation on the indemnitee other than the payment of a liquidated sum to be paid by Indemnitor.

FIRPTA CERTIFICATE
Section 1445 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), provides that a transferee of a U.S. real property interest must withhold tax if the transferor is a foreign person. For U.S. tax purposes (including section 1445), the owner of a disregarded entity (which has legal title to a U.S. real property interest under local law) will be the transferor of the property and not the disregarded entity. To inform (the "Transferee") that withholding of tax is not required upon the disposition of a U.S. real property interest by ISE 555 Broadway, LLC ("Transferor"), Transferor hereby certifies to Transferee, as follows:
I. Transferor is not a foreign person, foreign corporation, foreign partnership, foreign trust, or foreign estate (as those terms are defined in the Code and Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder);
2. The U.S. employer identification number of Transferor is 13-3880554.
3. Transferor's office address is c/o ISE America, Inc., 2063 Alexander Street, Newberry, South Carolina 29108.
4. Transferor is not a disregarded entity as defined in Section 1.1445-2(b)(2)(iii); and
Transferor understands that this certification may be disclosed to the Internal Revenue Service by the Transferee and that any false statement contained herein could be punished by fine, imprisonment, or both.
Under penalties of peljury, I declare that I have examined this certification and to the best of my knowledge and belief it is trne, correct and complete, and I further declare that I have authority to sign this document on behalf of Transferor.
