Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements contained in this Form 10-Q of Wells Real Estate Investment Trust, Inc. (“Wells REIT”) other than historical facts may be considered forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. We intend for all such forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as applicable by law. Such statements include, in particular, statements about our plans, strategies, and prospects and are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, as well as known and unknown risks, which could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected or anticipated. Therefore, such statements are not intended to be a guarantee of our performance in future periods. Such forward-looking statements can generally be identified by our use of forward-looking terminology such as “may,” “will,” “expect,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “believe,” “continue,” or other similar words. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date this report is filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. We make no representation or warranty (express or implied) about the accuracy of any such forward-looking statements contained in this Form 10-Q, and we do not intend to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.

Any such forward-looking statements are subject to unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors and are based on a number of assumptions involving judgments with respect to, among other things, future economic, competitive, and market conditions, all of which are difficult or impossible to predict accurately. To the extent that our assumptions differ from actual results, our ability to meet such forward-looking statements, including our ability to generate positive cash flow from operations, provide dividends to stockholders, and maintain the value of our real estate properties, may be significantly hindered. Following are some of the risks and uncertainties, although not all risks and uncertainties, which could cause actual results to differ materially from those presented in our forward-looking statements:

General economic risks

•

Adverse changes in general economic conditions or local conditions;

•

Adverse economic conditions affecting the particular industry of one or more of our tenants;

Enterprise risks

•

Higher than expected property operating expenses, including property taxes, insurance, property management fees, and other costs at our properties;

Page 3

•

Discovery of previously undetected environmentally hazardous or other defects or adverse conditions at our properties;

•

Our ability to invest stockholder proceeds to acquire properties at appropriate amounts that provide acceptable returns;

•

Our potential need to fund foreseen and unforeseen capital expenditures, including those related to tenant build-out projects, tenant improvements and lease-up costs, out of operating cash flow;

•

Our ability to sell a property when desirable at an acceptable return, including the ability of the purchaser to satisfy any continuing obligations to us;

Financing and equity risks

•

Our continued access to adequate credit facilities or other debt financing and refinancing as appropriate;

•

Our ability to pay amounts to our lenders before any distributions to our stockholders;

•

Increases in interest rates related to our variable rate debt;

•

Lender-required restrictive covenants relating to our operations, and our ability to satisfy such restrictions;

•

Possible limitations on our ability to borrow funds in the future that may result from our participation in the Section 1031 Exchange Program sponsored by affiliates of Wells Capital;

•

Future demand for our equity securities through our dividend reinvestment plan;

•

Potential changes to our share redemption program or dividend reinvestment plan;

•

The amount of redemptions or prices paid in future periods for redeemed shares under the share redemption program, as approved by our board of directors;

Other operational risks

•

Our reliance on third parties to appropriately manage our properties;

•

Our ability to continue to qualify as a REIT for tax purposes;

•

Higher than expected administrative operating expenses, including expenses associated with operating as a public company;

•

Our ability to comply with any governmental, tax, real estate, environmental, and zoning laws and regulations, and the related costs of compliance; and

CONDENSED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

MARCH 31, 2005

(unaudited)

1.	Organization

Wells Real Estate Investment Trust, Inc. (“Wells REIT”) is a Maryland corporation that engages in the acquisition and ownership of commercial real estate properties throughout the United States, including properties that are under construction, are newly constructed, or have operating histories. Wells REIT was incorporated in 1997, commenced operations on June 5, 1998, and qualifies as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) for federal income tax purposes. Wells REIT conducts business primarily through Wells Operating Partnership, L.P. (“Wells OP”), a Delaware limited partnership, or through Wells OP’s subsidiaries. Wells REIT is the sole general partner of Wells OP and possesses full legal control and authority over the operations of Wells OP. Wells Capital is the sole limited partner of Wells OP. Wells OP owns properties directly or through wholly owned subsidiaries and has also entered into certain joint ventures with real estate limited partnerships sponsored by Wells Capital, as well as certain joint ventures with parties not affiliated with Wells REIT or Wells Capital. References to Wells REIT herein shall include all subsidiaries of Wells REIT, including Wells OP, its subsidiaries, and consolidated joint ventures. See Note 6 included herein for a further discussion of Wells Capital.

At March 31, 2005, Wells REIT owned interests in 111 properties either directly or through joint ventures comprising approximately 25.4 million square feet of commercial office and industrial space located in 26 states and the District of Columbia. At March 31, 2005, these properties were approximately 98% leased.

Since its inception, Wells REIT has completed four public offerings of common stock at $10 per share. Combined with the dividend reinvestment program, such offerings have provided approximately $5.0 billion in total offering proceeds. Out of these proceeds, Wells REIT paid costs associated with the offerings of (1) approximately $168.1 million in acquisition and advisory fees and acquisition expenses, (2) approximately $467.0 million in selling commissions and dealer manager fees, and (3) approximately $62.3 million in organization and other offering costs. In addition, Wells REIT used approximately $304.7 million to redeem shares pursuant to Wells REIT’s share redemption program and repurchase shares resulting from a legal settlement. The remaining offering proceeds of approximately $4.0 billion were primarily used to fund the purchase of real estate assets. Wells REIT’s fourth public offering closed on July 25, 2004, and Wells REIT does not anticipate offering additional shares to the public.

Wells REIT registered an additional 100 million shares of common stock with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for issuances pursuant to its dividend reinvestment plan under a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (Commission File No. 333-114212), which was filed and became effective with the SEC on April 5, 2004.

Wells REIT’s stock is not listed on a national exchange. However, Wells REIT’s Articles of Incorporation currently require Wells REIT to begin the process of liquidating its investments and distributing the resulting proceeds to the stockholders if its shares are not listed on a national exchange by January 30, 2008. Wells REIT’s Articles of Incorporation can only be amended by a proxy vote of Wells REIT’s stockholders.

2.	Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements of Wells REIT have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X, and do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the statements for the

Page 10

unaudited interim periods presented include all adjustments, which are of a normal and recurring nature, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for such periods. Results for these interim periods are not necessarily indicative of full-year results. For further information, refer to the financial statements and footnotes included in Wells REIT’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004.

Prepaid Expenses and Other Assets

Prepaid expenses and other assets are primarily comprised of prepaid taxes, insurance and operating costs, escrow accounts held by lenders to pay future real estate taxes, insurance and tenant improvements, earnest money paid in connection with future acquisitions, and capitalized acquisition fees that have not yet been applied to investments in real estate assets. Prepaid expenses and other assets will be expensed as incurred or reclassified to other asset accounts upon being put into service in future periods. Balances without a future economic benefit are written off as they are identified.

Income Taxes

Wells REIT has elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and has operated as such beginning with its taxable year ended December 31, 1998. To qualify as a REIT, Wells REIT must meet certain organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement to distribute at least 90% of its annual “REIT taxable income,” computed without regard to the dividends-paid deduction and by excluding net capital gains to stockholders. As a REIT, Wells REIT is generally not subject to federal income taxes. Accordingly, neither a provision nor a benefit for federal income taxes has been made in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Wells REIT is subject to certain state and local taxes related to the operations of properties in certain locations, which has been provided for in the accompanying financial statements.

Stockholders’ Equity

The par value of investor proceeds raised is classified as common stock, with the remainder allocated to additional paid-in capital.

Wells REIT maintains a share redemption program that allows stockholders to redeem shares held at a specified price within certain limitations. Under Accounting Series Release No. 268, “Presentation in Financial Statements of Redeemable Preferred Stock,” if the redemption of shares is outside the control of the issuer, such shares are required to be classified as mezzanine, or temporary, equity. Wells REIT’s share redemption program was amended for redemptions made beginning in January 2004. The amended plan modified the share redemption program by, among other things, removing the discretionary feature of approving redemption requests. Redemptions are limited to the aggregate proceeds received from the dividend reinvestment plan. Since cumulative funds received under the dividend reinvestment plan totaled approximately $432.8 million and aggregate redemptions to date totaled approximately $291.2 million at March 31, 2005, the difference of approximately $141.6 million has been recorded as redeemable common stock on the consolidated balance sheet and statement of stockholders’ equity.

Reclassifications

Certain prior period amounts, as reported, have been reclassified to conform to the current period financial statement presentation, including but not limited to the reclassifications noted in the following paragraph.

Through the first quarter 2004, Wells REIT and its unconsolidated joint ventures reported the amortization of the fair values of in-place leases, including opportunity costs associated with lost rentals that are avoided by acquiring in-place leases and tenant relationships, as an adjustment to rental income in the consolidated statements of income. In the second quarter 2004, Wells REIT began presenting this amortization as amortization expense in the consolidated statements of income, and reclassified such amortization from rental income to amortization expense for the three months ended March 31, 2004. The period of amortization continues to be the term of the respective lease and results in no change in previously reported net income.

Page 11

Recent Accounting Pronouncement

In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 123-R, which replaces SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, and supersedes Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. SFAS No. 123-R applies to all transactions involving the issuance of equity securities, including, among others, common stock and stock options, in exchange for goods and services, including services provided by employees. SFAS No. 123-R requires Wells REIT to recognize expenses for all stock options awarded to employees over the respective vesting periods. SFAS No. 123-R will become applicable to Wells REIT effective January 1, 2006. To date, the fair value of options granted by Wells REIT is $0. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on Wells REIT’s financial position or results of operations.

3.	Real Estate Disposition

On February 25, 2005, Wells REIT, along with various Wells-affiliated entities, entered into a definitive purchase and sale agreement (“Agreement”) to sell 27 properties from its existing portfolio for a gross sale price of $786.0 million, excluding closing costs and brokerage fees, to Lexington Corporate Properties Trust (“Purchaser”), an unaffiliated third party. Wells REIT’s share of the $786.0 million in gross sales price is approximately $760.8 million. Of the 27 properties under contract, 23 properties are wholly owned by Wells REIT. Wells REIT’s net book value of the properties is approximately $567.3 million. Wells REIT’s share of the gain to be recorded upon the close of the transaction, including closing costs, is estimated at approximately $188.9 million. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets (“Statement 144”), Wells REIT classified the 23 wholly owned properties as held for sale as of March 31, 2005. As such, the historical assets and liabilities have been classified as held for sale and the results of operations and cash flows related to these 23 properties, as well as the results of operations and cash flows for the Eisenhower Boulevard Building sold in June 2004, have been presented as discontinued operations, in the accompanying financial statements. (See Subsequent Events for more information as to the status of this transaction).

During the three months ended March 31, 2005, Wells REIT had the following activity with respect to its lines of credit and notes payable.

Page 13

On March 28, 2005, Wells REIT entered into a $105.0 Million Promissory Note with Wachovia Bank, N.A. secured by a property at 800 Nicollet Mall in Minneapolis, Minn. (the “US Bancorp Building”). Borrowings under the loan bear interest at a variable per annum rate equal to the London InterBank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) for a 30-day period plus 0.75% (3.62% at March 31, 2005). The loan requires monthly payments of interest only and matures on June 1, 2005. Wells REIT may prepay the outstanding principal balance, or any part thereof, at any time without penalty, and may extend the term of the loan for up to an additional 30 days by providing written notice to the lender.

On March 30, 2005, Wells REIT entered into a $45.0 Million Term Loan Agreement with JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. Under the terms of the loan agreement, the lender agrees to make a single disbursement of the loan, consisting of one or more LIBOR Advances and/or one or more Alternative Base Rate Advances, as elected by Wells REIT. LIBOR Advances under the loan will bear interest at a variable per annum rate equal to the sum of (a) LIBOR for the relevant one-, two-, or three-month LIBOR interest period, divided by (b) one minus the reserve requirement, plus 0.75%. The “reserve requirement” means the maximum aggregate reserve requirement that is imposed under Regulation D on Eurocurrency liabilities. Alternative Base Rate Advances under the loan will bear interest at a variable per annum rate equal to the higher of (i) the prime rate or (ii) the sum of the federal funds effective rate plus 0.50%. The “prime rate” means the prime rate of interest announced from time to time by lending institutions. The “federal funds effective rate” means the interest rate equal to the weighted average of the rates on overnight federal funds transactions with members of the Federal Reserve System. The loan matures on July 29, 2005. Wells REIT may extend the term of the loan for up to two additional 30-day periods by providing written notice to the lender. Interest only payments on each LIBOR Advance are payable on the last day of the applicable interest period. Interest only payments on each Alternative Base Rate Advance are payable on the first day of each calendar month. The $45.0 million draw under the loan in March 2005 was a 30-day LIBOR Advance; therefore, the interest rate is calculated using the 30-day LIBOR rate divided by one minus the reserve requirement, plus 0.75% (3.625% at March 31, 2005). The proceeds of the $45.0 Million Term Loan and the $105.0 Million Promissory Note (mentioned above) were used to redeem shares pursuant to the share redemption program.

Effective March 4, 2005, Wells REIT extended the maturity date of its $50 Million Secured Line of Credit to June 2006. The $50 Million Secured Line of Credit represents a revolving credit facility secured by a pool of borrowing base properties. In addition to extending the maturity of the facility, the borrowing base properties (Experian/TRW Building, Kraft Atlanta Building, and IKON Building) were replaced by the Cingular Atlanta Building. All other material terms of the facility remain unchanged from the existing agreement. Under the terms of the facility, Wells REIT may borrow the lesser of (1) an amount equal to 75% of the aggregate appraised value of lender approved borrowing base properties or (2)$50 million, reduced by amounts under outstanding unused letters of credit (see Note 7 for detail). As of March 31, 2005, the borrowing base properties included one property with an aggregate book value of $76.5 million, and based on the value of this property, Wells REIT was able to borrow up to $21.6 million. Interest on the $50 million Secured Line of Credit accrues at a per annum rate of LIBOR plus 1.75% per annum (4.62% at March 31, 2005). This facility contains covenants that, among other things, restrict Wells REIT’s debt to total assets to 50%.

6.	Related-Party Transactions

On December 30, 2004, Wells REIT entered into three agreements with certain affiliates, effective January 1, 2005: (1) Asset Management Advisory Agreement (the “2005 Asset Advisory Agreement”); (2) Acquisition Advisory Agreement (the “2005 Acquisition Advisory Agreement”); and (3) Master Property Management, Leasing, and Construction Management Agreement (the “2005 Property Management Agreement”). These agreements replaced an existing Advisory Agreement, covering the period from January 30, 2004 though December 31, 2004 and an existing Asset/Property Management Agreement dated June 17, 2003 (the “2004 Asset/Property Management Agreement”).

2005 Asset Advisory Agreement

The 2005 Asset Advisory Agreement is an agreement between Wells REIT and Wells Management Company, Inc. (“Wells Management”). Under the terms of the 2005 Asset Advisory Agreement, Wells REIT will pay asset advisory fees to Wells Management for, among other things:

•

serving as Wells REIT’s investment and financial advisor;

•

managing the day-to-day operations of Wells REIT;

•

formulating and implementing strategies to administer, promote, manage, operate, maintain, improve, finance and refinance, market, lease, and dispose of properties; and

•

providing certain accounting, SEC compliance, and other administrative services for Wells REIT.

The fee for these services will be payable monthly in an amount equal to one-twelfth of 0.5% of the fair market value of all properties owned by Wells REIT plus its interest in properties held through joint ventures. This fee is reduced by (i) tenant reimbursed property management fees paid to Wells Management, and (ii) in the event that Wells Management retains an independent third-party property manager to manage one or more properties currently being managed by Wells Management, the amount of property management fees paid to such third-party property managers. At the option of Wells Management, up to ten percent of such monthly fee may be paid in shares of common stock of Wells REIT. These fees are recorded in the accompanying consolidated statements of income as asset and property management fees-related party. Wells REIT incurred $6.0 million in such fees for the three months ended March 31, 2005, of which approximately $0.3 million is included in income from discontinued operations (See Note 3). Under the 2004 Asset/Property Management Agreement, Wells REIT

Page 15

incurred $5.0 million in total asset and property management fees for the three months ended March 31, 2004, of which approximately $0.7 million is included in income from discontinued operations.

Additionally, per the 2005 Asset Advisory Agreement, Wells Management is entitled to earn the following disposition and incentive fees, which are similar in nature to previous agreements:

•

For any property sold by Wells REIT, a disposition fee of the lesser of 50% of a competitive real estate commission or 3.0% of the sales price of the property, subordinated to the payment of distributions to stockholders equal to the sum of the stockholders’ invested capital plus an 8% return on invested capital;

•

Incentive fee of 10% of net sales proceeds remaining after stockholders have received distributions equal to the sum of the stockholders’ invested capital plus an 8% return of invested capital; or

•

Listing fee of 10% of the excess by which the market value of the stock plus distributions paid prior to listing exceeds the sum of 100% of the stockholders’ invested capital plus an 8% return on invested capital.

Wells REIT incurred no disposition, incentive, or listing fees during the three months ended March 31, 2005. However, on February 21, 2005, the board of directors of Wells REIT approved a subordinated disposition fee of 0.33% of the gross sale price of the properties sold (see Note 3 and Note 8 for more details) to be paid to Wells Management as a result of the closing of this transaction. Since the subordinated conditions have not been met at this time, this fee was not paid at the closing of the property sale but will be paid only in the event and at the time that the subordinated conditions (mentioned above) are met.

The 2005 Asset Advisory Agreement has a one-year term and automatically renews unless either side gives notice of its intent not to renew. In addition, either party may terminate the 2005 Asset Advisory Agreement upon 60 days’ written notice.

2005 Acquisition Advisory Agreement

The 2005 Acquisition Advisory Agreement is an agreement between Wells REIT and Wells Capital. Under the terms of the Acquisition Advisory Agreement, Wells REIT will pay a fee to Wells Capital for services relating to, among other things, capital-raising functions; the investigation, selection, and acquisition of properties; and certain transfer agent and stockholder communication functions. The fee payable to Wells Capital under the Acquisition Advisory Agreement will be 3.5% of aggregate gross proceeds raised from the sale of shares of Wells REIT, exclusive of proceeds received from the Wells REIT’s dividend reinvestment plan, which are used to fund repurchases of shares of common stock pursuant to the Wells REIT’s share redemption program. Acquisition and advisory fees and acquisition expenses are shown below for the periods presented (in thousands):

2005 Property Management Agreement

The 2005 Property Management Agreement is an agreement between Wells REIT and Wells Management. The 2005 Property Management Agreement retains Wells Management to manage, coordinate the leasing of, and manage construction activities related to certain properties of Wells REIT. Any amounts paid under the 2005 Property Management Agreement for properties being managed by Wells Management on December 31, 2004 under the 2004 Asset/Property Management Agreement (the “Existing Portfolio Properties”) will have the economic effect of reducing amounts payable for asset advisory services with respect to such properties under the 2005 Asset Advisory Agreement. Management and leasing fees payable to Wells Management for properties to be acquired in the future shall be specified in an amendment to the 2005 Property Management Agreement, which must be approved by Wells REIT’s board of directors and will be payable in addition to fees payable

Page 16

pursuant to the 2005 Asset Advisory Agreement. Wells REIT anticipates that fees for the management and leasing of properties other than Existing Portfolio Properties will be generally consistent with the descriptions set forth below:

•

For properties for which Wells Management will provide property management services, it is anticipated that Wells REIT will pay Wells Management a market-based property management fee generally based on gross monthly income of the property.

•

For properties for which Wells Management provides leasing agent services, it is anticipated that Wells REIT will pay (i) a one-time initial lease-up fee in an amount not to exceed one-month’s rent for the initial rent-up of a newly constructed building; (ii) a market-based commission based on the net rent payable during the term of a new lease (not to exceed ten years); (iii) a market-based commission based on the net rent payable during the term of any renewal or extension of any tenant lease; and (iv) a market-based commission based on the net rent payable with respect to expansion space for the remaining portion of the initial lease term.

•

For properties for which Wells Management provides construction management services, it is anticipated that Wells REIT will pay (i) for planning and coordinating the construction of tenant-directed improvements, that portion of lease concessions for tenant-directed improvements as is specified in the lease or lease renewal, subject to a limit of 5% of such lease concessions, and (ii) for other construction management services, a construction management fee to be determined and agreed to in an appropriate contract amendment.

As Wells REIT acquired no new properties during the first quarter of 2005, no additional property management fees were incurred under this agreement for the three months ended March 31, 2005. However, Wells REIT incurred approximately $143,400 in construction management services under this agreement for the three months ended March 31, 2005.

The 2005 Property Management Agreement has a one-year term and automatically renews unless either side gives notice of its intent not to renew. In addition, either party may terminate the 2005 Property Management Agreement upon 60 days’ written notice.

Under the 2005 Asset Advisory Agreement, the 2005 Acquisition Advisory Agreement and the 2005 Property Management Agreement, Wells REIT is required to reimburse each service provider for various costs and expenses incurred in connection with the performance of its duties under such agreements, including reasonable wages and salaries and other employee-related expenses such as taxes, insurance, and benefits of employees of the service provider who are directly engaged in providing services for or on behalf of Wells REIT. Under these agreements, reimbursements for such employee-related expenses may not exceed $8.2 million in the aggregate during any fiscal year. Wells REIT incurred approximately $2.1 million and $1.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively, and these reimbursements are included in general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of income.

Dealer Manager Agreement

Wells REIT maintains a dealer manager agreement with Wells Investment Securities, Inc. (“WIS”), whereby WIS performs dealer manager services for offerings of Wells REIT shares related to its dividend reinvestment plan. For these services, WIS earns selling commissions of 5% of gross offering proceeds raised pursuant to Wells REIT’s dividend reinvestment plan, the majority of which are reallowed to participating broker-dealers. The amount of commissions incurred related to WIS is shown below for the periods presented (in thousands):

Page 17

Due To/From Affiliates

Due to affiliates included in the consolidated balance sheets is primarily comprised of (1) accrued administrative salaries and other non-salary operating expense reimbursements to Wells Capital and Wells Management, (2) accrued asset management fees owed to Wells Management, and (3) accrued acquisition and advisory fees and acquisition expenses due to Wells Capital. Due from affiliates included in the consolidated balance sheets is primarily comprised of Wells REIT’s share of the cash to be distributed from its joint venture investments.

Economic Dependency

Wells REIT has engaged Wells Capital and its affiliates, Wells Management and WIS, to provide certain services that are essential to Wells REIT, including asset management services, supervision of the management and leasing of properties owned by Wells REIT, asset acquisition and disposition services, the sale of shares of Wells REIT common stock pursuant to its dividend reinvestment plan, as well as other administrative responsibilities for Wells REIT including accounting services, shareholder communications, and investor relations. These agreements are terminable by either party on 60 days’ written notice. As a result of these relationships, Wells REIT is dependent upon Wells Capital, Wells Management, and WIS.

Wells Capital, Wells Management, and WIS are all owned and controlled by Wells Real Estate Funds, Inc. (“WREF”). The operations of Wells Capital, Wells Management, and WIS represent substantially all of the business of WREF. Accordingly, Wells REIT focuses on the financial condition of WREF when assessing the financial condition of Wells Capital, Wells Management, and WIS. In the event that WREF were to become unable to meet its obligations as they become due, Wells REIT might be required to find alternative service providers.

WREF’s net income was approximately $5.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2005. Future net income generated by WREF will be largely dependent upon the amount of fees earned by Wells Capital, Wells Management, and WIS based on, among other things, the level of investor proceeds raised from the sale of Wells Real Estate Investment Trust II, Inc. (“Wells REIT II”) common stock and the volume of future acquisitions and dispositions of real estate assets by Wells-sponsored programs. As of March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, WREF held cash balances of approximately $16.2 million and $6.3 million, respectively. WREF believes that it has adequate liquidity available in the form of cash on hand and current receivables necessary to meet its obligations as they become due.

Litigation Against Related Parties

During early 2004, a putative class action complaint was filed against, among others, Leo. F. Wells, III, the president and a director of Wells REIT, Wells Capital, and Wells Management. The Court granted the plaintiffs’ motion to permit voluntary dismissal of this suit, and it was dismissed without prejudice. In November 2004, the same plaintiffs filed a second putative class action complaint against, among others, Mr. Wells, Wells Capital, and Wells Management. On January 28, 2005, the defendants filed motions to dismiss the plaintiffs’ claims. The Court has not yet ruled on those motions. The details of both complaints are outlined below.

Page 18

false statements and omissions in sales literature relating to the distribution of net sale proceeds to holders of B units, among other things; (b) the general partners and Wells Fund I negligently and fraudulently misrepresented and concealed disclosure of, among other things, alleged discrepancies between such statements and provisions in the partnership agreement for a period of time in order to delay such investors from taking any legal, equitable, or other action to protect their investments in Wells Fund I, among other reasons; (c) Mr. Wells and Wells Management breached an alleged contract arising out of a June 2000 consent solicitation to the limited partners; and (d) the general partners and Wells Fund I breached fiduciary duties to the limited partners. On June 3, 2004, the Court granted the plaintiffs’ motion to permit voluntary dismissal, and the Original Complaint was dismissed without prejudice.

On or about November 24, 2004, the plaintiffs filed a second putative class action complaint (the “Complaint”) against Mr. Wells, Wells Capital, Wells Management, and Wells Fund I (Hendry et al. v. Leo F. Wells, III et al., Superior Court of Gwinnett County, Georgia, Civil Action No. 04A-13051 6). The plaintiffs filed the Complaint purportedly on behalf of all limited partners holding B units of Wells Fund I as of January 9, 2002. The Complaint alleges, among other things, that the general partners breached their fiduciary duties to the limited partners by, among other things: (a) failing to timely disclose alleged inconsistencies between sales literature and the partnership agreement relating to the distribution of net sale proceeds; (b) engaging in a scheme to fraudulently conceal alleged inconsistencies between sales literature and the partnership agreement relating to the distribution of net sale proceeds; and (c) not accepting a settlement offer proposed by a holder of A units and a holder of A and B units in other litigation naming Wells Fund I as a defendant, in which other litigation the court subsequently granted summary judgment in favor of Wells Fund I. The Complaint also alleges that misrepresentations and omissions in an April 2002 consent solicitation to the limited partners caused that consent solicitation to be materially misleading. In addition, the Complaint alleges, among other things, that the general partners and Wells Management breached an alleged contract arising out of a June 2000 consent solicitation to the limited partners relating to an alleged waiver of deferred management fees.

The plaintiffs seek, among other remedies, the following: judgment against the general partners of Wells Fund I, jointly and severally, in an amount to be proven at trial; punitive damages; disgorgement of fees earned by the general partners directly or through their affiliates; a declaration that the consent obtained as a result of an April 2002 consent solicitation is null and void; enforcement of an alleged contract arising out of the June 2000 consent solicitation to waive Wells Management’s deferred management fees; and an award to plaintiffs of their attorneys’ fees, costs, and expenses. The Complaint states that Wells Fund I is named only as a necessary party defendant and that the plaintiffs seek no money from or relief at the expense of Wells Fund I. On January 28, 2005, the defendants filed motions to dismiss the plantiffs’ claims. On March 31, 2005, the plaintiffs filed briefs in opposition to the defendants’ motions to dismiss. The Court has not yet ruled on these pending motions. Due to the uncertainties inherent in the litigation process, it is not possible to predict the ultimate outcome of this matter at this time. However, an adverse outcome could adversely affect the ability of Wells Capital, Wells Management, WIS, and Mr. Wells to fulfill their duties under the agreements and relationships they have with us.

7.	Commitments and Contingencies

Properties Under Construction

As of March 31, 2005, Wells REIT had three executed construction agreements with unrelated third parties for the purpose of constructing two buildings, Merck New Jersey and Citigroup Fort Mill, and one building expansion, TRW Denver. As of March 31, 2005, Wells REIT had approximately $20.3 million in costs remaining to be incurred under these contracts.

Commitments Under Existing Lease Agreements

Certain lease agreements include provisions that, at the option of the tenant, may obligate Wells REIT to expend certain amounts of capital to expand an existing property, construct on adjacent property, or provide other expenditures for the benefit of the tenant, in favor of additional rental revenue. At March 31, 2005, no tenants have exercised such options, which have not been fully satisfied as of that date.

Page 19

Letters of Credit

At March 31, 2005, Wells REIT had two unused letters of credit totaling approximately $28.4 million outstanding from financial institutions. One of these letters of credit in the amount of $400,000 expires in February 2006, and the other letter of credit expires in December 2005. These letters of credit were required by unrelated third parties to ensure completion of Wells REIT’s obligations under certain earn-out and related construction agreements.

Earn-out Agreements

Wells REIT acquired certain properties subject to purchase agreements that require Wells REIT to pay additional consideration to the seller provided certain unleased space is leased within a specified period after closing based on a pre-determined formula. As of March 31, 2005, no amounts are due under the remaining earn-out agreement.

Leasehold Property Obligations

Certain properties are subject to ground leases with various expiration dates as disclosed in Wells REIT’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004.

Take-out Purchase and Escrow Agreements

As of March 31, 2005, Wells REIT had commitments outstanding under three Take-out Purchase and Escrow Agreements (the “Take-out Agreements”). Under the terms of the Take-out Agreements, Wells REIT has committed to purchase any unsold co-tenancy interests in properties acquired by subsidiaries of Wells Management, an affiliate of Wells Capital (See Note 6 above), by the Offering Period End Date, as defined (See table below). Wells Management acquired these properties with the intent of selling co-tenancy interests in each property to persons seeking qualified replacement property pursuant to Section 1031 of the Code.

Information on the Take-out Agreements at March 31, 2005 is as follows:


Location of Property	Property Acquisition Date	Offering Period End Date	Initial Maximum Exposure	Remaining Exposure at March 31, 2005		Fee Earned *
Orlando, FL	May 19, 2004	May 19, 2005	$12.6 million	$	1.4 million	$22,411
Vernon Hills, IL	August 19, 2004	May 19, 2005	$23.1 million	$	19.0 million	$83,038
Livermore, CA	August 20, 2004	May 20, 2005	$19.6 million	$	17.5 million	$83,313

*	These fees represent amounts earned by Wells REIT for its agreement to extend the offering period to the end date shown above.

Litigation

Wells REIT is from time to time a party to other legal proceedings, which arise in the ordinary course of its business. Wells REIT is not currently involved in any litigation the outcome of which would, in management’s judgment based on information currently available, have a material adverse effect on the results of operations or financial condition of Wells REIT, nor is management aware of any such litigation threatened against the Wells REIT. (See Litigation Against Related Parties above).

8.	Subsequent Events

Sale of Portfolio of Real Estate Assets

On April 13, 2005, Wells REIT, along with various Wells-affiliated entities, sold 27 properties from its existing portfolio for a gross sales price of $786.0 million, excluding closing costs and brokerage fees, to Lexington Corporate Properties Trust, an unaffiliated third party. Wells REIT and other affiliated property owners originally purchased the 27 properties from various unaffiliated entities for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $609.7 million. Wells REIT’s share of the $786.0 million in gross sales price is approximately $760.8 million. Wells REIT’s share of the $609.7 million aggregate original purchase price paid for these properties is approximately $587.1 million. Net sales proceeds applicable to Wells REIT is approximately $756.2 million. Wells REIT recognized a gain of approximately $188.9 million from the sale of these properties in the second quarter of 2005, which is subject to change as additional information becomes available in subsequent periods.

As part of the disposition mentioned above, Wells REIT sold 23 properties that are wholly owned through various affiliated subsidiaries. Of the $786.0 million gross sales price, approximately $716.1 million is related to these 23 properties, which Wells REIT originally purchased for an aggregate purchase price of $556.1 million.

In addition, Wells REIT sold four properties that are owned through unconsolidated joint ventures with affiliates. Approximately $69.9 million of the $786.0 million gross sale price is related to these four properties, which were originally purchased for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $53.6 million. Wells REIT’s share of the approximately $69.9 million of gross sales price attributable to these four properties is approximately $44.8 million. Wells REIT’s share of the approximately $53.6 million original purchase price for these four properties was approximately $31.0 million. The names and locations of these four properties, along with the name of the joint venture affiliates and the approximate percentage ownership of Wells REIT in each of these properties are listed below:


*Property Name*	*Property Location*	% Owned		*Joint Venture Affiliate*	*Building* Square Footage

Declaration of Special Distribution

On April 19, 2005, the Board of Directors of Wells REIT declared a special distribution of $1.62 per share to every stockholder of record of Wells REIT as of June 1, 2005, representing substantially all of the net sales proceeds received from the disposition mentioned above. Net sales proceeds is defined as total proceeds received from the sale less closing costs associated with the sale. This special distribution will be considered a return of a portion of the stockholders’ invested capital and, as such, will reduce their remaining investment in Wells REIT by $1.62 per share.

Amendment to Dividend Reinvestment Plan

On April 19, 2005, the Board of Directors of Wells REIT elected to amend Wells REIT’s dividend reinvestment plan (“DRP”) effective for shares acquired with dividends declared and paid beginning in June 2005 to lower the purchase price of DRP shares to $8.00 per share.

Loan Refinancing

On May 4, 2005, Wells REIT refinanced the amount outstanding under the unsecured $45.0 Million Term Loan Agreement by obtaining a long-term, fixed-rate loan from the same lender, JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. (the “$45.0 Million Fixed-Rate Loan”). The $45.0 Million Fixed-Rate Loan matures on June 1, 2012, and requires payments of interest only each month at a rate of 5.195% per annum, with all principal and any unpaid interest due on the maturity date. The $45.0 Million Fixed-Rate Loan may not be prepaid before maturity without incurring a prepayment penalty. If Wells REIT prepays the $45.0 Million Fixed-Rate Loan prior to maturity, the lender is entitled to a prepayment penalty equal to the greater of (A) one percent (1%) of the outstanding principal balance of the loan at the time such payment is received, or (B) the present value as of the date such payment is received of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest from the date such payment is received through the maturity date, less the payment received. The $45.0 Million Fixed-Rate Loan is secured by the 4250 N. Fairfax Building, a 14-story office building containing approximately 304,000 aggregate rentable square feet located at 4250 North Fairfax Street in Arlington, Virginia. By obtaining the $45.0 Million Fixed-Rate Loan, Wells REIT fully repaid and satisfied the $45.0 Million Term Loan Agreement outstanding at March 31, 2005.

On May 5, 2005, Wells REIT refinanced the amount outstanding under the $105.0 Million Promissory Note by obtaining a $105.0 Million long-term, fixed-rate loan from the same lender, Wachovia Bank, N.A. (the “$105.0 Million Fixed-Rate Loan”). At closing, Wells REIT obtained the full principal amount of this loan. The $105.0

Page 22

Million Fixed-Rate Loan matures on May 11, 2015, and requires payments of interest only each month at a rate of 5.29% per annum, with all principal and any unpaid interest due on the maturity date. The $105.0 Million Fixed-Rate Loan may not be prepaid before maturity without incurring a prepayment penalty. If Wells REIT prepays the $105.0 Million Fixed-Rate Loan prior to maturity, the lender is entitled to a prepayment penalty in an amount equal to the greater of (A) two percent (2.0%) of the principal amount being prepaid, or (B) the present value of a series of payments payable on each payment date from the prepayment date until the maturity date, such payments will be equal to 5.29% per annum minus the lesser of (i) the yield on the U.S. Treasury issue (primary issue) with a maturity date closest to the maturity date, or (ii) the yield on the U.S. Treasury issue (primary issue) with a term equal to the remaining average life of the indebtedness; divided by twelve and multiplied by the principal due after application of the constant monthly payment due under the note on the date of such prepayment. In addition to the amounts described in the preceding sentence, in the event of a prepayment occurring on or prior to the first anniversary of the date of the $105.0 Million Fixed-Rate Loan, an additional prepayment fee equal to three percent (3%) of the principal balance will also be immediately due and payable. The fixed-rate loan is secured by the US Bancorp Building, a 32-story office building containing approximately 930,000 rentable square feet located at 800 Nicollet Mall in Minneapolis, Minnesota. By obtaining the $105.0 Million Fixed-Rate Loan, Wells REIT fully repaid and satisfied the $105.0 Million Promissory Note outstanding at March 31, 2005.

ITEM 2.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our accompanying financial statements and notes thereto. See also “Forward-Looking Statements” preceding Part I, as well as the notes to our consolidated financial statements and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

From the commencement of our initial public offering in January 1998 through December 31, 2004, we raised significant funds through the sale of our common stock in four public offerings. Proceeds from these sales of common stock, net of offering costs and expenses, were used primarily for the acquisition of real estate properties and for certain capital expenditures identified at the time of acquiring certain properties. We do not anticipate receiving significant proceeds in the future from the sale of our common stock, as all remaining shares under the fourth offering were sold during the year ended December 31, 2004. We expect to continue to receive proceeds from shares issued under our dividend reinvestment plan; however, it is anticipated that a substantial portion of these funds may be used to fund redemptions of our shares of common stock as approved by our board of directors.

We expect that our primary source of future cash flows will be cash provided by operating activities that are primarily generated from the operations of our properties and distributions from our unconsolidated joint ventures. We believe there is a possibility of generating additional cash through the selective and strategic sale of certain operating properties (See a description of recently sold properties in Note 3 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements). Dividends paid will be dependent upon the amount of cash we generate from operating activities and on our expectations of future cash flows and determination of near term cash needs for capital improvements, tenant re-leasing, share redemptions, and debt repayments. However, special dividends may be paid to distribute some or all of the net proceeds from property sales to our stockholders.

Short-Term Liquidity and Capital Resources

During the three months ended March 31, 2005, we generated approximately $62.3 million of cash flow from operating activities. This cash was generated primarily from revenues at our properties and cash flow distributions from our unconsolidated joint ventures net of cash paid for direct property operating expenses, management fees, general administrative expenses, and interest expense. From cash flows from operating activities and cash on hand, we paid dividends to stockholders of approximately $83.0 million. We expect operating cash flow to cover dividends paid to stockholders for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and the remainder of 2005, as a result of paying certain annual nonrecurring expenditures during the first quarter of 2005 including, among other items, prepaid property insurance and accrued real estate taxes. Other than dividends paid to stockholders, our most significant use of cash during the three months ended March 31, 2005 was the redemption of common stock pursuant to our share redemption program. We funded these redemptions primarily with borrowings from two new facilities, mentioned further below. Additionally, capital additions of approximately $7.3 million consisted of improvements made at our existing properties, or as part of ongoing construction projects, which were funded by (1) proceeds from the issuance of common stock under our dividend reinvestment plan, net of commissions and selling expenses, and net of amounts used to redeem shares under our share redemption program and (2) net new borrowings under lines of credit and notes payable.

With respect to the cash generated from the issuance of our common stock, we raised approximately $47.6 million from the dividend reinvestment plan in March 2005 and paid approximately $3.2 million in commissions and offering costs, a portion of which related to the payment of fees accrued at December 31, 2004, and approximately $1.4 million in acquisition advisory fees and acquisition expenses. During the three months ended

Page 24

March 31, 2005, investors redeemed approximately $129.8 million in shares under the terms of our share redemption program. Under the program, there was an aggregate of approximately $233.0 million available for redemptions in 2005, of which 15% of this amount has been set aside to fund redemptions upon the death of a stockholder and required minimum distribution redemptions. During the first quarter of 2005, we used proceeds from two short-term loans to fund the backlog of redemptions existing from 2004, as well as requests received during 2005. We expect to refinance these short-term loans with permanent, fixed-rate financing in May 2005. (See Subsequent Events at the end of this section for more detail.)

With respect to net new borrowings, we received $130.5 million in gross proceeds from lines of credit and notes payable, and repaid $9.6 million. Included in the new borrowings were two short-term facilities, mentioned above, which were used to fund the accumulated redemption requests pursuant to our share redemption program. In connection with these two new facilities, we incurred approximately $85,000 in fees and expenses associated therewith. We used substantially all of the proceeds from these two facilities to redeem accumulated redemption requests from 2004 and the first quarter of 2005 pursuant to our share redemption program.

On April 13, 2005, we sold 27 properties, some of which are owned jointly with affiliated entities, for a gross sales price of approximately $786.0 million pursuant to a contract with a third-party purchaser. Our share of the $786.0 in gross purchase price is approximately $760.8 million. Subsequent to the transaction closing and period end, the board of directors declared a special distribution of substantially all of the net sales proceeds to stockholders in the form of a return of invested capital to stockholders of record on June 1, 2005 (see Subsequent Events at the end of this section for more detail). As a result of this sale, the amount of cash generated by properties will decrease and the amount available for quarterly dividends will also decrease. We, therefore, expect the gross dollar value of dividends declared per share to decrease in future quarterly periods as compared to the gross dollar value of dividends declared before the sale of properties noted above. However, we currently anticipate that our dividend yield, as a percentage of stockholders’ remaining investment (after reduction by the amount of the special distribution mentioned above), will remain at 7% for at least the remainder of 2005. Because we do not anticipate reducing debt with the proceeds of this sale and the amount of assets held will decrease as a result of the sale, we expect our ratio of debt to total assets to increase from approximately 17% as of December 31, 2004 to approximately 23% following the close of this sale and special distribution of net sales proceeds to our stockholders in June 2005.

Long-Term Liquidity and Capital Resources

We expect that our future sources of capital will be derived from net cash flows from property operations, proceeds from secured or unsecured financings from banks and other lenders, shares issued under our dividend reinvestment plan, net of share redemptions, and the selective and strategic sale of properties.

We anticipate our future long-term liquidity requirements will include, but not be limited to, scheduled debt maturities, renovations, expansions and other significant capital improvements at our properties, leasing costs, and property acquisitions and investments in real estate ventures.

We expect substantially all net cash from operations will be used to pay dividends. To the extent that capital expenditures at our existing properties exceed excess operating cash flow, we may borrow to fund these capital expenditures. We are currently projecting that capital expenditures necessary at our existing properties will total approximately $286.2 million, including tenant improvements, leasing commissions, and building capital improvements, over the next five years. To the degree that cash flows provided by operations are lower due to lower returns on properties, dividends paid may be lower. Proceeds raised from sales of shares under our dividend reinvestment plan in excess of amounts used to fund share redemptions may be utilized for capital improvements or expansion at our properties or to fund or partially fund new property acquisitions. Our cash flow from operations depends significantly on market rents and the ability of tenants to make rental payments. We believe that the diversity of our tenant base and the focus placed on relatively high credit-quality tenants helps mitigate the risk of tenant bankruptcies. Conversely, economic downturns in general or in one or more of our core markets could

Page 25

adversely impact the ability of our tenants to make lease payments and our ability to re-lease space on favorable terms when leases expire. In the event of either situation, our cash flow and consequently our ability to meet capital needs could adversely affect our ability to pay dividends at expected levels.

Results of Operations

Overview

As of March 31, 2005, we owned interests in 111 real estate properties that were approximately 98% leased. Of our portfolio, 23 wholly owned properties, which were sold on April 13, 2005, are classified as discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated statements of income for each of the periods presented due to their impending sale (See Note 3 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements for more information). Our results of income from continuing operations have not changed significantly for each period presented primarily as a result of the more stable nature of our existing portfolio, notably related to the small number of properties acquired during the periods subsequent to December 31, 2003. We expect virtually all components of income from continuing operations in the statement of income to be comparable in 2005, as compared to 2004, as a result of owning real estate assets acquired during the year ended December 31, 2003 for a full year. Additionally, relationships between the components of continuing operations should remain comparable, unless otherwise noted below. We do not anticipate results of continuing operations in future periods to change significantly from the three months ended March 31, 2005 at this time, except as identified below. We do not expect that the continuing operating results of individual properties will change significantly in the near term, as the rental revenues are generally based on long-term leases that do not allow for significant increases in rental income and the majority of our in-place leases do not expire in the near term. Additionally, we generally do not expect a significant increase in continuing operating expenses at existing properties, but to the extent that operating expenses do increase, the majority of our in-place leases have clauses that require the tenants to bear the substantial majority of the burden of such increases.

Comparison of the three months ended March 31, 2005 vs. the three months ended March 31, 2004

Rental income increased by $5.6 million during the three months ended March 31, 2005 to $110.6 million from $105.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2004. Of this increase, approximately $4.4 million relates to properties acquired or developed subsequent to December 31, 2003. Tenant reimbursements increased by $2.0 million during the three months ended March 31, 2005 to $31.9 million from $29.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2004. Substantially all of this increase relates to properties acquired or developed subsequent to December 31, 2003.

Lease termination income was $0.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2005 as compared to $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2004. The income for the three months ended March 31, 2005 primarily relates to the termination of the Motorola, Inc. lease at the River Corporate Center Building. At the time of the lease termination, a new lease was executed with Countrywide Home Loans, Inc. for all of the vacated space. Lease termination income for the three months ended March 31, 2004 relates primarily to the Jones Lang LaSalle, Inc. lease termination in the Aon Center Chicago Building. Lease termination income for the three months ended March 31, 2005 is not expected to be comparable to future periods, as such income will be dependent upon the execution of such agreements that are deemed in the best interest of the portfolio over the long-term.

Property operating expenses increased by $1.8 million during the three months ended March 31, 2005 to $44.8 million from $43.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2004. Of this increase, $1.3 million relates to properties acquired or developed subsequent to December 31, 2003. Property operating costs represented approximately 31% and 32% of the sum of the rental income and tenant reimbursements revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

Asset and property management fees increased by $2.4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2005 to $7.2 million from $4.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2004. This increase substantially relates to

Page 26

the addition of asset and property management fees related to properties occupied by government tenants, and the provision that third- party management fees that are reimbursed by tenants no longer reduce management fees payable to Wells Management. Asset and property management fees as a percentage of the sum of rental income and tenant reimbursements revenue were approximately 5% and 4% for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

Depreciation expense increased by $1.1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2005 to $22.0 million from $20.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2004. This increase is primarily due to the addition to properties acquired or developed subsequent to December 31, 2003. Depreciation expense represented approximately 20% of rental income for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

Amortization increased by $2.3 million during the three months ended March 31, 2005 to $16.1 million from $13.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2004. This increase is primarily due to a full period’s effect of additional property acquisitions after the adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, Business Combinations (“FAS 141”), resulting in more acquired assets being classified as intangible lease assets and lease origination assets compared to prior periods resulting in additional amortization expense, as well as the execution of certain second-generation leases at some of our properties and initial leases at recently developed properties. It is expected that amortization of deferred lease costs and intangible lease assets will stabilize during the remainder of 2005 compared to the same periods in 2004, as a full period of amortization expense is recognized relating to our 2004 property acquisitions.

General and administrative expense increased by $0.7 million during the three months ended March 31, 2005 to $3.9 million from $3.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2004. This increase is primarily attributable to additional regulatory and reporting costs, as well as an increase in administrative salary reimbursements related to a larger portfolio. General and administrative expense represents approximately 3% and 2% of the sum of the rental income and tenant reimbursements revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

Interest expense increased by $4.1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2005 to $10.7 million from $6.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2004 due to significantly higher average amounts of borrowings outstanding during the first quarter of 2005, as compared to the first quarter of 2004. Interest expense in the future will be dependent upon the amount of borrowings outstanding, current interest rates, and the deferred financing costs associated with obtaining debt facilities. Interest expense is expected to increase in the near term as we intend to refinance the short-term notes taken out in March 2005 with long-term, fixed-rate debt in order to secure low interest rates and mitigate future volatility. Once this refinancing is complete, future interest expense will be comparable, as we will have a majority of borrowings under long-term, fixed-rate debt facilities. Having no amounts currently outstanding under our variable rate lines of credit mitigates our exposure to rising interest rates.

Interest and other income increased by $0.4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2005 to $0.5 million from $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2004. The amount of interest income in each period represents interest earned on cash generated from operations. The level of interest income in future periods will primarily be dependent upon the amount of operating cash on hand and is not expected to be significant or change significantly from the amount earned during the three months ended March 31, 2005. In addition to interest income, during the three months ended March 31, 2005, we earned approximately $189,000 of take-out fees related to our participation in Wells Capital’s 1031 Program, which may not be indicative of amounts earned in future periods, as such income is dependent upon the continuation and growth of the program and our continued involvement.

Equity in income of unconsolidated joint ventures increased by $0.3 million during the three months ended March 31, 2005 to $1.4 million from $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2004. This increase is primarily related to a change in the estimate of the weighted-average composite useful lives for building assets owned by unconsolidated joint ventures to 40 years from 25 years, effective July 1, 2004, thereby resulting in

Page 27

lower depreciation expense and higher resulting net income. Equity in income of unconsolidated joint ventures is expected to fluctuate in future periods due to the disposition of a portion of the underlying properties as part of the portfolio sale (See Note 3 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements).

In accordance with Statement 144, we have classified the operations of properties held for sale and sold as discontinued operations for all periods presented. Discontinued operations were $10.4 million and $9.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively, consisting entirely of operations of the Eisenhower Boulevard Building and 23 wholly owned properties classified as held for sale as of March 31, 2005. The Eisenhower Boulevard Building was disposed of during the second quarter 2004. The 23 wholly owned properties were disposed of on April 13, 2005 (See Subsequent Events at the end of this section for more detail).

Net income from continuing operations per share was $0.09 for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. In future quarters, we do not expect net income from continuing operations to change significantly from earnings of approximately $0.09 per share per quarter, absent any further dispositions or changes to our tenant base or credit quality.

Funds From Operations

We believe that funds from operations (“FFO”) is a beneficial indicator of the performance of any equity REIT. Because FFO calculations exclude such factors as depreciation and amortization of real estate assets and gains or losses from sales of operating real estate assets (which can vary among owners of identical assets in similar conditions based on historical cost accounting and useful-life estimates), they facilitate comparisons of operating performance between periods and between other REITs. Our management believes that accounting for real estate assets in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) implicitly assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. Since real estate values have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, many industry investors and analysts have considered the presentation of operating results for real estate companies that use historical cost accounting to be insufficient by themselves. As a result, we believe that the use of FFO, together with the required GAAP presentations, provide a more complete understanding of our performance relative to our competitors and a more informed and appropriate basis on which to make decisions involving operating, financing, and investing activities. Other REITs may not define FFO in accordance with the current National Association of Real Estate Investment Trust’s (“NAREIT”) definition (as we do) or may interpret the current NAREIT definition differently than we do.

FFO is a non-GAAP financial measure and does not represent net income as defined by GAAP. Net income as defined by GAAP is the most relevant measure in determining our operating performance, because FFO includes adjustments that investors may deem subjective, such as adding back expenses such as depreciation and amortization. Accordingly, FFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income as an indicator of our operating performance.

Our calculation of FFO, which excludes the cost of capital improvements and related capitalized interest, is presented in the following table, in thousands:


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2005		2004
Net income	$	50,723	$	52,624
Add:
Depreciation of real assets		23,972		24,127
Amortization of lease-related costs		17,726		15,557
Depreciation and amortization—unconsolidated partnerships		820		1,250

FFO	$	93,241	$	93,558

Weighted-average shares outstanding		473,856		463,394

Page 28

Through the first quarter 2004, we, and our unconsolidated joint ventures, previously presented the amortization of the fair values of in-place leases, including opportunity costs associated with lost rentals that are avoided by acquiring in-place leases and tenant relationships, as an adjustment to rental income in our consolidated statements of income. Beginning with the second quarter 2004, we, and our unconsolidated joint ventures, have presented this amortization as amortization expense in our consolidated statements of income, and have reclassified such amortization from rental income to amortization expense for all periods previously presented. The period of amortization continues to be the term of the respective lease. This reclassification results in no change in previously reported net income, however, does increase FFO by approximately $9.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2004. The primary purpose of this change is to more closely align our presentation of such costs with similar costs as classified by other companies in the real estate industry.

Set forth below is additional information (often considered in conjunction with FFO) that may be helpful in assessing our operating results:

•

In accordance with GAAP, we recognized straight-line rental revenue of approximately $4.9 million and $5.3 million during the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

•

The amortization of deferred financing costs in the accompanying consolidated statements of income totaled approximately $0.4 million and $0.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Additionally, the loss on extinguishment of debt in the accompanying consolidated statements of income totaled approximately $0 and $0.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and March 31, 2004, respectively.

•

The amortization of intangible lease assets and intangible lease liabilities recorded as a net increase in revenues in the accompanying consolidated statements of income totaled approximately $0.3 million and $0.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

REIT Qualification

We have elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and have operated as such beginning with our taxable year ended December 31, 1998. To qualify as a REIT, we must meet certain organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement to distribute at least 90% of our “REIT taxable income,” computed without regard to the dividends-paid deduction and by excluding our net capital gain to our stockholders. As a REIT, we generally will not be subject to federal income tax on income that we distribute to our stockholders. If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, we will be subject to federal income taxes on our taxable income for four years following the year during which qualification is lost, unless the Internal Revenue Service grants us relief under certain statutory provisions. Such an event could materially adversely affect our net income and net cash available for distribution to stockholders. However, we believe that we are organized and operate in such a manner as to qualify for treatment as a REIT and intend to continue to operate in the foreseeable future so as to remain qualified as a REIT for federal income tax purposes. No provision for federal income taxes has been made in our accompanying consolidated financial statements, as we made distributions in excess of taxable income for the periods presented. We are subject to certain state and local taxes related to the operations of properties in certain locations, which have been provided for in our accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Inflation

We are exposed to inflation risk as income from long-term leases is the primary source of our cash flows from operations. There are provisions in the majority of our tenant leases that would protect us from the impact of inflation. These provisions include rent steps, reimbursement billings for operating expense pass-through charges, real estate tax and insurance reimbursements on a per-square-foot basis, or in some cases, annual reimbursement of operating expenses above a certain per-square-foot allowance. However, due to the long-term nature of the leases, the leases may not re-set frequently enough to cover inflation.

Page 29

Application of Critical Accounting Policies

Our accounting policies have been established to conform with GAAP. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to use judgment in the application of accounting policies, including making estimates and assumptions. These judgments affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. If our judgment or interpretation of the facts and circumstances relating to various transactions had been different, it is possible that different accounting policies would have been applied, thus, resulting in a different presentation of the financial statements. Additionally, other companies may utilize different estimates that may impact comparability of our results of operations to those of companies in similar businesses.

Investment in Real Estate Assets

We are required to make subjective assessments as to the useful lives of our depreciable assets. We consider the period of future benefit of the asset to determine the appropriate useful lives. These assessments have a direct impact on net income. The estimated useful lives of our assets by class are as follows:


Buildings		40 years
Building improvements		5-25 years
Land improvements		20-25 years
Tenant improvements		Lease term
Intangible lease assets		Lease term

Allocation of Purchase Price of Acquired Assets

Upon the acquisition of real properties, it is our policy to allocate the purchase price of properties to acquired tangible assets, consisting of land and building, and identified intangible assets and liabilities, consisting of the value of above-market and below-market leases, other value of in-place leases, and value of tenant relationships, based in each case on their fair values.

The fair values of the tangible assets of an acquired property (which includes land and buildings) are determined by valuing the property as if it were vacant, and the “as-if-vacant” value is then allocated to land and building based on our determination of the relative fair value of these assets. We determine the as-if-vacant fair value of a property using methods similar to those used by independent appraisers. Factors considered by us in performing these analyses include an estimate of carrying costs during the expected lease-up periods considering current market conditions and costs to execute similar leases. In estimating carrying costs, we include real estate taxes, insurance, and other operating expenses and estimates of lost rental revenue during the expected lease-up periods based on current market demand. We also estimate the cost to execute similar leases including leasing commissions, legal, and other related costs.

The fair values of above-market and below-market in-place lease values is recorded based on the present value (using an interest rate which reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the difference between (i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the in-place leases and (ii) our estimate of fair market lease rates for the corresponding in-place leases, measured over a period equal to the remaining noncancelable term of the lease. The above-market and below-market lease values are capitalized as intangible lease assets and liabilities and amortized as an adjustment of rental income over the remaining terms of the respective leases.

The fair values of in-place leases include direct costs associated with obtaining a new tenant, opportunity costs associated with lost rentals that are avoided by acquiring an in-place lease, and tenant relationships. Direct costs associated with obtaining a new tenant include commissions, tenant improvements, and other direct costs and are

Page 30

estimated based on management’s consideration of current market costs to execute a similar lease. These direct costs are included in deferred lease costs in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and are amortized to expense over the remaining terms of the respective leases. The value of opportunity costs is calculated using the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the in-place leases over a market absorption period for a similar lease. Customer relationships are valued based on expected renewal of a lease or the likelihood of obtaining a particular tenant for other locations. These lease intangibles are included in intangible lease assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and are amortized to expense over the remaining terms of the respective leases. Prior to April 1, 2004, these lease intangibles were amortized as an adjustment to rental income rather than to expense. As such, the related amortization has been reclassified from an adjustment to rental income to expense in the consolidated statements of income for the three months ended March 31, 2004.

Estimates of the fair values of the tangible and intangible assets require us to estimate market lease rates, property operating expenses, carrying costs during lease-up periods, discount rates, market absorption periods, and the number of years the property is held for investment. The use of inappropriate estimates would result in an incorrect assessment of our purchase price allocations, which could impact the amount of our reported net income.

Valuation of Real Estate Assets

We continually monitor events and changes in circumstances that could indicate that the carrying amounts of the real estate and related intangible assets, both operating properties and properties under construction, in which we have an ownership interest, either directly or through investments in joint ventures, may not be recoverable. When indicators of potential impairment are present which indicate that the carrying amounts of real estate and related intangible assets may not be recoverable, we assess the recoverability of these assets by determining whether the carrying value will be recovered through the undiscounted future operating cash flows expected from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. In the event that such expected undiscounted future cash flows do not exceed the carrying value, we adjust the real estate and related intangible assets to the fair value and recognize an impairment loss.

Projections of expected future cash flows require that we estimate future market rental income amounts subsequent to the expiration of current lease agreements, property operating expenses, discount rates, the number of months it takes to re-lease the property, and the number of years the property is held for investment, among other factors. The use of inappropriate assumptions in the future cash flow analysis would result in an incorrect assessment of the property’s future cash flows and fair value, and could result in the misstatement of the carrying value of our real estate and related intangible assets and our net income. We have determined that there has been no impairment in the carrying value of real estate assets held by us or any unconsolidated joint ventures at March 31, 2005.

Related-Party Transactions and Agreements

General

See Note 6 to our consolidated financial statements for a discussion of the various agreements we have with related parties.

Economic Dependency

We have engaged Wells Capital and its affiliates, Wells Management and WIS, to provide certain services that are essential to us, including asset management services, supervision of the management and leasing of properties owned by us, asset acquisition and disposition services, the sale of shares of our common stock pursuant to our dividend reinvestment plan, as well as other administrative responsibilities for us including accounting services, shareholder communications, and investor relations. These agreements are terminable by either party on 60 days’ written notice. As a result of these relationships, we are dependent upon Wells Capital, Wells Management, and WIS.

Page 31

Wells Capital, Wells Management, and WIS are all owned and controlled by Wells Real Estate Funds, Inc. (“WREF”). The operations of Wells Capital, Wells Management, and WIS represent substantially all of the business of WREF. Accordingly, we focus on the financial condition of WREF when assessing the financial condition of Wells Capital, Wells Management, and WIS. In the event that WREF were to become unable to meet its obligations as they become due, we might be required to find alternative service providers.

WREF’s net income was approximately $5.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2005. Future net income generated by WREF will be largely dependent upon the amount of fees earned by Wells Capital, Wells Management, and WIS based on, among other things, the level of investor proceeds raised from the sale of Wells REIT II common stock and the volume of future acquisitions and dispositions of real estate assets by Wells-sponsored programs. As of March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, WREF held cash balances of approximately $16.2 million and $6.3 million, respectively. WREF believes that it has adequate liquidity available in the form of cash on hand and current receivables necessary to meet its obligations as they become due.

Litigation Against Related Parties

As a matter of background, on or about March 12, 2004, a putative class action complaint (the “Original Complaint”) was filed by four individuals (the “plaintiffs”) against Wells Real Estate Fund I (“Wells Fund I”), and Wells Fund I’s general partners, Wells Capital and Leo F. Wells, III, who is the president and a director of Wells REIT, as well as Wells Management and WIS (Hendry et al. v. Leo F. Wells, III et al., Superior Court of Gwinnett County, Georgia, Civil Action No. 04-A-2791 2). Wells Fund I is a public limited partnership. The plaintiffs filed the Original Complaint purportedly on behalf of all limited partners holding B units of Wells Fund Ias of January 15, 2003. The Original Complaint alleged, among other things, that (a) the general partners, WIS, and Wells Fund I negligently and fraudulently made false statements and material omissions in connection with the initial sale (September 6, 1984 – September 5, 1986) of the B units to investors of Wells Fund I by making false statements and omissions in sales literature relating to the distribution of net sale proceeds to holders of B units, among other things: (b) the general partners and Wells Fund I negligently and fraudulently misrepresented and concealed disclosure of, among other things, alleged discrepancies between such statements and provisions in the partnership agreement for a period of time in order to delay such investors from taking any legal, equitable, or other action to protect their investments in Wells Fund I, among other reasons; (c) Mr. Wells and Wells Management breached an alleged contract arising out of a June 2000 consent solicitation to the limited partners; and (d) the general partners and Wells Fund I breached fiduciary duties to the limited partners. On June 3, 2004, the Court granted the plaintiffs’ motion to permit voluntary dismissal, and the Original Complaint was dismissed without prejudice.

Page 32

subsequently granted summary judgment in favor of Wells Fund I. The Complaint also alleges that misrepresentations and omissions in an April 2002 consent solicitation to the limited partners caused that consent solicitation to be materially misleading. In addition, the Complaint alleges, among other things, that the general partners and Wells Management breached an alleged contract arising out of a June 2000 consent solicitation to the limited partners relating to an alleged waiver of deferred management fees.

The plaintiffs seek, among other remedies, the following: judgment against the general partners of Wells Fund I, jointly and severally, in an amount to be proven at trial; punitive damages; disgorgement of fees earned by the general partners directly or through their affiliates; a declaration that the consent obtained as a result of an April 2002 consent solicitation is null and void; enforcement of an alleged contract arising out of the June 2000 consent solicitation to waive Wells Management’s deferred management fees; and an award to plaintiffs of their attorneys’ fees, costs, and expenses. The Complaint states that Wells Fund I is named only as a necessary party defendant and that the plaintiffs seek no money from or relief at the expense of Wells Fund I. On January 28, 2005, the defendants filed motions to dismiss the plaintiffs’ claims. On March 31, 2005, the plaintiffs’ filed briefs in opposition to the defendants’ motions to dismiss. The Court has not yet ruled on these pending motions. Due to the uncertainties inherent in the litigation process, it is not possible to predict the ultimate outcome of this matter at this time. However, an adverse outcome could adversely affect the ability of Wells Capital, Wells Management, WIS, and Mr. Wells to fulfill their duties under the agreements and relationships they have with us.

Commitments and Contingencies

We are subject to certain contingent liabilities and commitments with regard to certain transactions. Refer to Note 7 to our consolidated financial statements for further explanation. Examples of such commitments and contingencies include:

•

Properties Under Construction

•

Commitments Under Existing Lease Agreements

•

Letters of Credit

•

Earn-out Agreements

•

Leasehold Property Obligations

•

Take-out Purchase and Escrow Agreements

•

Litigation

Conflicts of Interest

Wells Capital is also a general partner in or advisor to Wells REIT II and various public real estate limited partnerships sponsored by Wells Capital. As such, there are conflicts of interest where Wells Capital, while serving in the capacity as general partner or advisor for another Wells-sponsored program, may be in competition with us in connection with property acquisitions or for tenants in similar geographic markets. The compensation arrangements between Wells Capital and these other Wells Real Estate Funds could influence its advice to us.

Additionally, certain members of our board of directors also serve on the board of Wells REIT II and may encounter certain conflicts of interest regarding investment and operations decisions.

Subsequent Events

Sale of Portfolio of Real Estate Assets

On April 13, 2005, we, along with various Wells-affiliated entities, sold 27 properties from our existing portfolio for a gross sales price of $786.0 million, excluding closing costs and brokerage fees, to Lexington Corporate Properties Trust, an unaffiliated third party. We, along with other affiliated property owners, originally purchased

Page 33

the 27 properties from various unaffiliated entities for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $609.7 million. Our share of the $786.0 million in gross sales price is approximately $760.8 million. Our share of the $609.7 million aggregate original purchase price paid for these properties is approximately $587.1 million. Net sales proceeds applicable to our ownership interest is approximately $756.2 million. We recognized a gain of approximately $188.9 million from the sale of these properties in the second quarter of 2005, which is subject to change as additional information becomes available in subsequent periods.

As part of the disposition mentioned above, we sold 23 properties that are wholly owned through various affiliated subsidiaries. Of the $786.0 million gross sales price, approximately $716.1 million is related to these 23 properties, which we originally purchased for an aggregate purchase price of $556.1 million. The names and locations of the properties are listed below:


*Property Name*	*Property Location*	*Building Square Footage*
Bank of America Orange County	Brea, CA	637,503
Capital One Richmond	Glen Allen, VA	225,220

Metris Tulsa	Tulsa, OK	101,100
Alstom Power Richmond	Midlothian, VA	99,057
AT&T Pennsylvania	Harrisburg, PA	81,859

In addition, we sold four properties that are owned through unconsolidated joint ventures with affiliates. Approximately $69.9 million of the $786.0 million gross sale price is related to these four properties, which were originally purchased for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $53.6 million. Our share of the approximately $69.9 million of gross sales price attributable to these four properties is approximately $44.8 million. Our share of the approximately $53.6 million original purchase price for these four properties was approximately $31.0 million. The names and locations of these four properties, along with the name of the joint venture affiliates and our approximate percentage ownership in each of these properties are listed below:


*Property Name*	*Property Location*	% Owned		*Joint Venture Affiliate*	Building Square Footage

Declaration of Special Distribution

On April 19, 2005, our Board of Directors declared a special distribution of $1.62 per share to every stockholder of record as of June 1, 2005, representing substantially all of the net sales proceeds received from the disposition mentioned above. Net sales proceeds is defined as total proceeds received from the sale less closing costs associated with the sale. This special distribution will be considered a return of a portion of the stockholders’ invested capital and, as such, will reduce their remaining investment in our common stock by $1.62 per share.

Amendment to Dividend Reinvestment Plan

On April 19, 2005, our Board of Directors elected to amend our dividend reinvestment plan (“DRP”) effective for shares acquired with dividends declared and paid beginning in June 2005 to lower the purchase price of DRP shares to $8.00 per share.

Loan Refinancing

On May 4, 2005, we refinanced the amount outstanding under the unsecured $45.0 Million Term Loan Agreement by obtaining a long-term, fixed-rate loan from the same lender, JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. (the “$45.0 Million Fixed-Rate Loan”). The $45.0 Million Fixed-Rate Loan matures on June 1, 2012, and requires payments of interest only each month at a rate of 5.195% per annum, with all principal and any unpaid interest due on the maturity date. The $45.0 Million Fixed-Rate Loan may not be prepaid before maturity without incurring a prepayment penalty. If we prepay the $45.0 Million Fixed-Rate Loan prior to maturity, the lender is entitled to a prepayment penalty equal to the greater of (A) one percent (1%) of the outstanding principal balance of the loan at the time such payment is received, or (B) the present value as of the date such payment is received of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest from the date such payment is received through the maturity date, less the payment received. The $45.0 Million Fixed-Rate Loan is secured by the 4250 N. Fairfax Building, a 14-story office building containing approximately 304,000 aggregate rentable square feet located at 4250 North Fairfax Street in Arlington, Virginia. By obtaining the $45.0 Million Fixed-Rate Loan, we fully repaid and satisfied the $45.0 Million Term Loan Agreement outstanding at March 31, 2005.

On May 5, 2005, we refinanced the amount outstanding under the $105.0 Million Promissory Note by obtaining a $105.0 Million long-term, fixed-rate loan from the same lender, Wachovia Bank, N.A. (the “$105.0 Million Fixed-Rate Loan”). At closing, we obtained the full principal amount of this loan. The $105.0 Million Fixed-Rate Loan matures on May 11, 2015, and requires payments of interest only each month at a rate of 5.29% per annum, with all principal and any unpaid interest due on the maturity date. The $105.0 Million Fixed-Rate Loan may not be prepaid before maturity without incurring a prepayment penalty. If we prepay the $105.0 Million Fixed-Rate Loan prior to maturity, the lender is entitled to a prepayment penalty in an amount equal to the greater of (A) two percent (2.0%) of the principal amount being prepaid, or (B) the present value of a series of payments payable on each payment date from the prepayment date until the maturity date, such payments will be equal to 5.29% per annum minus the lesser of (i) the yield on the U.S. Treasury issue (primary issue) with a maturity date closest to the maturity date, or (ii) the yield on the U.S. Treasury issue (primary issue) with a term equal to the remaining average life of the indebtedness; divided by twelve and multiplied by the principal due after application of the constant monthly payment due under the note on the date of such prepayment. In addition to the amounts described in the preceding sentence, in the event of a prepayment occurring on or prior to the first anniversary of the date of the $105.0 Million Fixed-Rate Loan, an additional prepayment fee equal to three percent (3%) of the principal balance will also be immediately due and payable. The fixed-rate loan is secured by the US Bancorp Building, a 32-story office building containing approximately 930,000 rentable square feet located at 800 Nicollet Mall in Minneapolis, Minnesota. By obtaining the $105.0 Million Fixed-Rate Loan, we fully repaid and satisfied the $105.0 Million Promissory Note outstanding at March 31, 2005.

ITEM 3.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We are exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates on our indebtedness, which could impact our financial condition and results of operations. We manage our exposure to these market risks through our regular operating and financing activities. Our interest rate risk management objectives are to limit the impact of interest rate changes on earnings and cash flow, primarily through a low to moderate level of overall borrowings. Additionally, we manage our ratio of fixed to floating rate debt with the objective of achieving the most efficient mix between favorable rates and exposure to rate changes based on anticipated market conditions. We have and may from time to time enter into interest rate swap agreements or interest rate cap agreements to hedge our exposure to fluctuating interest rates. We do not anticipate any material changes in our exposure to interest rate fluctuations or in our management thereof. We intend to use derivative financial instruments as risk management tools and not for speculative or trading purposes.

All of our debt was entered into for other than trading purposes, and the fair value of our debt approximates its carrying amount.

As of March 31, 2005, $867.1 million of our outstanding debt is subject to fixed rates or is effectively fixed due to an interest rate swap agreement. The outstanding debt has an average interest rate of approximately 4.63% with expirations ranging from 2006 to 2028. A change in the market interest rate impacts the net financial instrument position of our fixed rate debt portfolio but has no impact on interest incurred or cash flows. Such agreements may result in higher fixed interest rates in certain periods of lower variable interest rates, but are intended to decrease our exposure to potential increases in interest rates.

As of March 31, 2005, $143.5 million of our outstanding debt is based on variable interest rates including the amounts outstanding under the two notes related to the share redemption funding in the total amount of approximately $127.0 million. Additionally, the amount outstanding under the $21.1 million term loan payable has stated a variable interest rate; however, we have entered into an interest rate swap agreement that results in a fixed rate of 2.75% for this debt. To the extent that we borrow funds in the future under our variable rate lines of credit, we would have exposure to increases in interest rates, which would increase our cost of debt.

ITEM 4.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Management’s Conclusions Regarding the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rule 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, the Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report in providing a reasonable level of assurance that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in applicable SEC rules and forms, including providing a reasonable level of assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in such reports is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Principal Executive Officer and our Principal Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There has been no identified change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2005 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II.

OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

We are from time to time a party to other legal proceedings, which arise in the ordinary course of our business. We are not currently involved in any litigation the outcome of which would, in management’s judgment based on information currently available, have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition, nor is management aware of any such litigation threatened against us during the quarter ended March 31, 2005 requiring disclosure under Item 103 of Regulation S-K.

ITEM 2.

UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

(a)

During the quarter ended March 31, 2005, we did not sell any equity securities that were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933.

(b)

The fourth public offering was closed on July 25, 2004. The Registration Statement relating to our dividend reinvestment plan (No. 333-114212) was declared effective on April 5, 2004. The initial sale of shares pursuant to this Registration Statement occurred with respect to dividends declared and paid in September 2004. The net offering proceeds raised pursuant to the dividend reinvestment plan will be used for general corporate purposes, including, but not limited to, the acquisition of interests in additional properties or real estate investments, funding of tenant improvements, leasing commissions and other lease-up costs, repayment of debt, and funding of our share redemption program.

(c)

During the quarter ended March 31, 2005, we redeemed shares as follows (in thousands, except per share amounts):


Period	Approximate Number of Shares Redeemed*	Approximate Average Price Paid per Share		Maximum Approximate Dollar Value of Shares Available that May Yet Be Redeemed in Calendar Year 2005 Under the Plan**
January 2005	—	$	10.00	$233,030
February 2005	—	$	10.00	$233,030
March 2005	12,970	$	10.00	$103,333

All shares redeemed were redeemed pursuant to our share redemption program, as amended.

Of this maximum amount available for redemptions in calendar year 2005, our board of directors has reserved 15% (approximately $35 million) for redemptions relating to the death of a stockholder and redemptions required to satisfy minimum distribution requirements under the Code.

ITEM 3.

DEFAULTS UPON SENIOR SECURITIES

There have been no defaults with respect to any of our indebtedness during the first quarter of 2005.

ITEM 4.

SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

No matters were submitted to a vote of our stockholders during the first quarter of 2005.

ITEM 5.

OTHER INFORMATION

As our stock is currently not listed on a national exchange, there is no significant public trading market for our stock. Consequently, there is the risk that a stockholder may not be able to sell our stock at a time or price acceptable to the stockholder. Our board of directors has authorized a share redemption program for investors who have held their shares for more than one year, subject to the limitation that (i) during any calendar year, we will not redeem in excess of 5% of the weighted-average common shares outstanding during the prior calendar year, and (ii) in no event shall the aggregate amount of redemptions under our share redemption program exceed aggregate proceeds received from the sale of shares pursuant to our dividend reinvestment plan.

Any shares we redeem pursuant to our share redemption program are purchased at the lesser of $10 per share or the purchase price paid by the stockholder, less in both instances amounts previously distributed to the

Page 37

stockholder which were attributable to net sales proceeds from the sale of properties. We are under no obligation to redeem shares under our share redemption program, and our board of directors may amend or terminate the share redemption program at any time upon 30 days’ notice.

(b) To the fullest extent permitted by law, Purchaser does hereby unconditionally waive and release Sellers, and each of them, and their respective officers, directors, shareholders, members, partners, agents, affiliates and employees from any present or future claims and liabilities of any nature arising from or relating to the presence or alleged presence of Hazardous Substances in, on, at, from, under or about the Properties or any adjacent property, including, without limitation, any claims under or on account of any Environmental Law, regardless of whether such Hazardous Substances are located in, on, at, from, under or about the Properties or any adjacent property prior to or after the date hereof (collectively, “Environmental Liabilities”); provided, however, that the foregoing release as it applies to any Seller, its officers, directors, shareholders, members, partners, agents, affiliates and employees, shall not release such

Seller, or its general partners or members from any Environmental Liabilities of (i) such Seller relating to any Hazardous Substances which may be placed, located or released on any of the Properties by any Seller after the date of Closing, or (ii) the general partners or members of such Seller relating to any Hazardous Substances which may be placed, located or released by any Seller after the date of Closing. The terms and provisions of this Section 3.3 shall survive the Closing.

3.4. Title and Survey. Seller has provided Purchaser with a preliminary title commitment with respect to each of the Properties (individually, a “Seller Title Commitment”, and collectively, the “Sellers’ Title Commitments”). Purchaser has had and shall have the right, but not the obligation, to order from the Title Company, a preliminary title commitment with respect to each of the Properties or updates or revisions to any of Sellers’ Title Commitments (individually, a “Purchaser’s Title Commitment”, and collectively, the “Purchaser’s Title Commitments”). Purchaser shall also have the right to have Lawyers Title Insurance Corporation and/or Land America Title Insurance Company participate with the Title Company in the title insurance to be obtained by Purchaser (and its lenders); provided, however, that no such participation shall result in any obligation of Sellers to pay for any increase in the cost of “standard” or “base” title insurance coverage for any policy or policies of owner’s title insurance coverage issued to Purchaser with respect to the Properties at Closing as a result of such title insurance participation by Lawyers Title Insurance Corporation and/or Land America Title Insurance Company (or any of its or their affiliated title companies). Purchaser shall direct the Title Company to send a copy of each of the Purchaser’s Title Commitments to Sellers. “Title Commitment” shall mean a Seller’s Title Commitment or a Purchaser’s Title Commitment. The Seller’s Title Commitments and Purchaser’s Title Commitments are collectively referred to as the “Title Commitments”. Sellers and Purchaser mutually acknowledge and agree that prior to the Effective Date, Sellers and Purchaser have made arrangements for the preparation of one or more updates of each Existing Survey (and in the case of the Alstom Power Property, the Americredit Property, the Kerr McGee Property, the Nissan Property and the Traveler’s Express Property, Sellers and Purchaser have made arrangements for as-built Surveys to be prepared where no such as-built survey currently exists) (individually, a “Survey”, and collectively, the “Surveys”). Copies of all such Surveys and any updates or revisions to any of the same shall be made available concurrently to Sellers and Purchasers. From time to time at any time after the Effective Date of this Agreement and prior to the Closing Date, Purchaser may give written notice to Seller’s Counsel (a “Subsequent Title Notice”) of exceptions to title first appearing of record with respect to such Property after the effective date of the most recent previous Title Commitment or updated Title Commitment with respect to such Property or matters of survey, which matters of record or matters of survey would not have been disclosed by an accurate updated examination of title or preparation of an updated ALTA survey prior to date of the most recently revised Title Commitment or the most recently revised Survey with respect to such Property. Sellers shall have the right, but not the obligation (except as to Monetary Objections), to attempt to remove, satisfy or otherwise cure any exceptions to title to which the Purchaser so objects. Within five (5) Business Days after receipt of any Subsequent Title Notice, Sellers shall give written notice to Purchaser’s Counsel informing the Purchaser of the election of Sellers with respect to the objections in such Subsequent Title Notice. If Sellers fail to give written notice of election within such five (5) Business Day period, Sellers shall be deemed to have elected not to attempt to cure the objections (other than Monetary Objections)

set forth in such Subsequent Title Notice; it being specifically understood and agreed that except as specifically set forth in this Agreement to the contrary, Sellers have elected not to attempt to cure any objections (other than Monetary Objections) set forth in any of the notices of title and survey objections and comments provided by Purchaser’s Counsel to Sellers’ Counsel prior to the Effective Date of this Agreement. If Sellers elect to attempt to cure any objections, Sellers shall be entitled to one or more reasonable adjournments of the Closing of up to but not beyond the thirtieth (30th) day following the initial date set for the Closing to attempt such cure, but, except for Monetary Objections, Sellers shall not be obligated to expend any sums, commence any suits or take any other action to effect such cure. Except as to Monetary Objections, if Sellers elect, or are deemed to have elected, not to cure any exceptions to title to which Purchaser has objected or if, after electing to attempt to cure, Sellers determine that they are unwilling or unable to remove, satisfy or otherwise cure any such exceptions, Purchaser’s sole remedy hereunder in such event shall be either (i) to accept title to the applicable Property subject to such exceptions as if Purchaser had not objected thereto and without reduction of the Purchase Price, (ii) if such exceptions are matters first appearing of record or first disclosed by any Survey or updated Title Commitment after the date of this Agreement, to terminate this Agreement as to such Property or Properties, or (iii) to terminate this Agreement within three (3) Business Days after receipt of written notice from Sellers either of the election of Sellers not to attempt to cure any objection or of the determination of Sellers, having previously elected to attempt to cure, that Sellers are unable or unwilling to do so, or three (3) Business Days after Sellers are deemed hereunder to have elected not to attempt to cure such objections (and upon any such termination under clause (iii) above, Escrow Agent shall return the Earnest Money to Purchaser). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Agreement, Sellers shall be obligated to cure or satisfy all Monetary Objections at or prior to Closing, and may use the proceeds of the Purchase Price at Closing for such purpose.

3.5. Service Contracts. At Closing, Purchaser shall assume the obligations of Sellers arising from and after Closing under all of the Service Contracts relating to each Property that is the subject of such Closing; provided, however, Seller shall be required to terminate any Service Contracts which are with any Seller-Related Entities. Subject to the foregoing, and taking into account any credits or prorations to be made pursuant to Article 5 hereof for payments coming due after Closing but accruing prior to Closing, Purchaser will assume the obligations arising from and after the Closing Date under the Service Contracts.

3.6. Confidentiality. All information acquired by Purchaser or any of its designated representatives (including by way of example, but not in limitation, the officers, directors, shareholders and employees of Purchaser, and Purchaser’s engineers, consultants, counsel and potential lenders, and the officers, directors, shareholders and employees of each of them) with respect to the Properties, whether delivered by Sellers or any representatives of Sellers or obtained by Purchaser as a result of its inspection and investigation of the Properties, examination of the books, records and files of Sellers in respect of the Properties, or otherwise (collectively, the “Due Diligence Material”) shall be used solely for the purpose of determining whether the Properties are suitable for Purchaser’s acquisition and ownership thereof and for no other purpose whatsoever. Prior to Closing, the terms and conditions which are contained in this Agreement and all Due Diligence Material which is not published as public knowledge or which is not generally available in the public domain shall be kept in strict confidence by Purchaser and

shall not be disclosed to any individual or entity other than to those authorized representatives of Purchaser and Purchaser’s prospective and actual counsel, accountants, professionals, consultants, attorneys and lenders, who need to know the information for the purpose of assisting Purchaser in evaluating the Properties for Purchaser’s potential acquisition thereof; provided, however, that Purchaser shall have the right to disclose any such information if required by applicable law or as may be necessary in connection with any court action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement. Purchaser shall and hereby agrees to indemnify and hold Sellers and each of them harmless from and against any and all loss, liability, cost, damage or expense that Sellers or any of them may suffer or incur (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees actually incurred) as a result of the unpermitted disclosure of any of the Due Diligence Material to any individual or entity other than an appropriate representative of Purchaser and Purchaser’s prospective and actual counsel, accountants, professionals, consultants, attorneys and lenders, and/or the use of any Due Diligence Material for any purpose other than as herein contemplated and permitted. The foregoing indemnity shall not extend to disclosure of any Due Diligence Material (i) as may be required by applicable law, or (ii) that is or becomes public knowledge other than by virtue of a breach of Purchaser’s covenant under this Section 3.6. If Purchaser or Sellers elect to terminate this Agreement pursuant to any provision hereof permitting such termination, or if the Closing contemplated hereunder fails to occur for any reason, Purchaser will promptly return to Sellers all Due Diligence Material in the possession of Purchaser and any of its representatives, and destroy all copies, notes or abstracts or extracts thereof, as well as all copies of any analyses, compilations, studies or other documents prepared by Purchaser or for its use (whether in written or electronic form) containing or reflecting any Due Diligence Material. In the event of a breach or threatened breach by Purchaser or any of its representatives of this Section 3.6, Sellers and each of them shall be entitled, in addition to other available remedies, to an injunction restraining Purchaser or its representatives from disclosing, in whole or in part, any of the Due Diligence Material and any of the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Nothing contained herein shall be construed as prohibiting or limiting Sellers from pursuing any other available remedy, in law or in equity, for such breach or threatened breach. The provisions of this Section shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

(a) Taxes. All general real estate taxes imposed by any governmental authority (“Taxes”) shall be prorated between Purchaser and each Seller as to the Taxes with respect to the Properties of such Seller as of the Closing. If the Closing occurs prior to the receipt by Sellers of the tax bill for any of the Properties for the calendar year or other applicable tax period in which the Closing occurs, Taxes with respect to such Property or Properties shall be prorated for such calendar year or other applicable tax period based upon the prior year’s tax bill. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Taxes shall not be prorated with respect to any Property as to which the tenant under the Lease(s) with respect to such Property is obligated to pay Taxes directly to the applicable taxing authority.

(b) Reproration of Taxes. After receipt of final Taxes and other bills, Purchaser shall prepare and present to each Seller a calculation of the reproration of such Taxes and other items with respect to the Properties of such Seller, based upon the actual amount of such items charged to or received by the parties for the year or other applicable fiscal period. Purchaser and each Seller shall make the appropriate adjusting payment between them within thirty (30) days after presentment to such Seller of Purchaser’s calculation and appropriate back-up information. Purchaser shall provide each Seller with appropriate backup materials related to the calculation, and each Seller may inspect Purchaser’s books and records related to the Properties of such Seller to confirm the calculation. The provisions of this Section 5.4(b) shall survive the Closing for a period of one (1) year after the Closing Date.

(c) Rents, Income and Other Expenses. As to each Seller, rents and any other amounts (including Taxes) paid by tenants of the Properties of such Seller shall be prorated as of

the Closing Date and be adjusted against the Purchase Price allocated to such Seller on the basis of a schedule which shall be prepared by such Seller and delivered to Purchaser for Purchaser’s review and approval at least five (5) Business Days prior to Closing. With respect to each Seller, Purchaser shall receive at Closing a credit for Purchaser’s pro rata share of the rents, additional rent, common area maintenance charges, tenant reimbursements and escalations, and all other payments paid for the month of Closing with respect to the Properties of such Seller and for all other rents and other amounts with respect to the Properties of such Seller that apply to periods from and after the Closing, but which are received by such Seller prior to Closing. Purchaser agrees to pay to each Seller, upon receipt, any rents or other payments by tenants under their respective Leases with respect to the Properties of such Seller that apply to periods prior to Closing but are received by Purchaser after Closing; provided, however, that any delinquent rents or other payments by tenants shall be applied first to any current amounts owing by such tenants from and after Closing, then to delinquent rents in the order in which such rents are most recently past due, with the balance, if any, paid over to such Seller to the extent of delinquencies existing at the time of Closing to which such Seller is entitled; it being understood and agreed that Purchaser shall not be legally responsible to such Seller for the collection of any rents or other charges payable with respect to such Leases or any portion thereof, which are delinquent or past due as of the Closing Date; but Purchaser agrees that Purchaser shall send monthly notices for a period of three (3) consecutive months in an effort to collect any rents and charges not collected as of the Closing Date. With respect to each Seller, any reimbursements payable by any tenant under the terms of any tenant lease affecting any of the Properties of such Seller as of the Closing Date, which reimbursements pertain to such tenant’s pro rata share of increased operating expenses or common area maintenance costs incurred with respect to such Properties at any time prior to the Closing, shall be prorated upon Purchaser’s actual receipt of any such reimbursements, on the basis of the number of days of such Seller’s and Purchaser’s respective ownership of such Properties during the period in respect of which such reimbursements are payable; and Purchaser agrees to pay to such Seller such Seller’s pro rata portion of such reimbursements within thirty (30) days after Purchaser’s receipt thereof. Conversely, if any tenant under any such Lease affecting the Properties of such Seller shall become entitled at any time after Closing to a refund of tenant reimbursements actually paid by such tenant prior to Closing, then, such Seller shall, within thirty (30) days following Purchaser’s demand therefor, pay to Purchaser an amount equal to such Seller’s pro rata share of such reimbursement refund obligations, said proration to be calculated on the same basis as hereinabove set forth. The applicable Sellers shall be and remain responsible for the payment of all Florida sales tax that may be payable on rents and rental income paid by the tenants under their leases affecting the Americredit Property and the Gartner Property, respectively, prior to the Closing Date (and to the extent that the tenants under such Leases are required to reimburse the landlord for all or any part of such Florida sales tax, such tenant reimbursement paid with respect to the rents payable for all periods prior to the Closing Date shall belong to the applicable Sellers). Conversely, Purchaser shall be responsible for the payment of all Florida sales tax that may be payable on rents and rental income paid by such tenants under their Leases for all periods from and after the Closing Date (and to the extent that the tenants under such Leases are required to reimburse the landlord for all or any part of such Florida sales tax, such tenant reimbursements with respect to rents paid by such tenants for all periods from and after the Closing Date shall belong to Purchaser). Each Seller hereby retains its right to pursue any tenant under the Leases affecting the Properties of such Seller for sums due such Seller for periods attributable to such Seller’s ownership of such Properties; provided, however, that such Seller (i) shall be required to

notify Purchaser in writing of its intention to commence or pursue such legal proceedings, and to provide Purchaser with copies of all correspondence with such tenant relative to such proceedings; (ii) shall only be permitted to commence or pursue any legal proceedings after the date which is three (3) months after Closing, except that such Seller shall be entitled to continue to pursue any legal proceedings commenced prior to Closing; and (iii) shall not be permitted to commence or pursue any legal proceedings against any tenant seeking eviction of such tenant or the termination of the applicable Lease. The provisions of this Section 5.4(c) shall survive the Closing for a period of eighteen (18) months after the Closing Date; provided, however, that in the event the tenant under any Lease affecting any Property currently has rights to audit operating expenses under its Lease for calendar year 2005 which extend beyond eighteen (18) months after the Closing Date of such Property, then as to any such Property and Lease, the provisions of this Section 5.4(c) shall survive the Closing for a period of time equal to any such tenant’s audit rights under such Lease.

(d) Security Deposits. As to each Seller, Purchaser shall receive at Closing a credit with respect to the Purchase Price allocated to such Seller for all Security Deposits transferred and assigned to Purchaser at Closing in connection with the Leases affecting the Properties of such Seller, together with a detailed inventory of such Security Deposits.

(e) Operating Expenses. As to each Seller, personal property taxes, installment payments of special assessment liens, vault charges, sewer charges, utility charges, and normally prorated operating expenses actually paid or payable as of the Closing Date with respect to the Properties of such Seller (including, without limitation, amounts payable pursuant to the Service Contracts and Property Management Agreements) shall be prorated as of the Closing Date and adjusted against the Purchase Price allocated to such Seller, provided that within ninety (90) days after the Closing, Purchaser and such Seller will make a further adjustment for such taxes, charges and expenses affecting the Properties of such Seller which may have accrued or been incurred prior to the Closing Date, but not collected or paid at that date. In addition, as to each Seller, within ninety (90) days after the close of the fiscal year(s) used in calculating the pass-through to tenants of operating expenses and/or common area maintenance costs under the Leases affecting the Properties of such Seller (where such fiscal year(s) include(s) the Closing Date), such Seller and Purchaser shall, upon the request of either, re-prorate on a fair and equitable basis in order to adjust for the effect of any credits or payments due to or from tenants for periods prior to the Closing Date. All prorations shall be made based on the number of calendar days in such year or month, as the case may be. Notwithstanding the foregoing, personal property taxes, installment payments of special assessment liens, vault charges, sewer charges, utility charges, and operating expenses shall not be prorated with respect to any Property as to which the tenant under the Lease(s) with respect to such Property is obligated to pay the same directly to the provider thereof. The provisions of this Section 5.4(e) shall survive the Closing for a period of eighteen (18) months after the Closing Date; provided, however, that in the event the tenant under any Lease affecting any Property currently has rights to audit operating expenses under its Lease for calendar year 2005 which extend beyond eighteen (18) months after the Closing Date of such Property, then as to any such Property and Lease, the provisions of this Section 5.4(e) shall survive the Closing for a period of time equal to any such tenant’s audit rights under such Lease.

(f) Tenant Inducement Costs.

(i) At the Closing of the ISS Property, Purchaser shall receive a credit against the Purchase Price of such Property in the amount of $888,076.88, said sum representing the unpaid tenant improvement allowance payable to the tenant under and pursuant to the Lease for Building 3 of the ISS Property. At such Closing, Purchaser shall assume the obligation to pay such tenant improvement allowance to such tenant as and when the same becomes payable pursuant to the terms of said Lease.

(ii) At the Closing of the John Wiley Property, Purchaser shall receive credits against the Purchase Price of such Property (x) in the amount of $69,492.00, said sum representing the unpaid tenant improvement allowance payable to John Wiley & Sons, Inc. under and pursuant to its Lease at the John Wiley Property as set forth on the attached Exhibit ”I”, and (y) in the amount of $48,239.00, said sum representing the unpaid leasing commission payable to CB Richard Ellis, Inc. in connection with the Lease with John Wiley & Sons, Inc. pursuant to the Commission Agreement described on the attached Exhibit “C”.

A Declarant Estoppel Certificate from each of the Declarants under the Declarations shall have been delivered to Purchaser, with each such estoppel certificate (i) to be dated within thirty (30) days prior to the Closing Date, and (ii) to confirm (A) the absence of any material defaults or violations under the applicable Declaration by the applicable Seller as “owner” as defined in such Declaration, (B) the payment of all amounts due from such Seller, (C) if Declarant is required under the terms of the applicable Declaration to confirm that the plans and specifications for the applicable Wells OP Improvements or Wells Affiliate Improvements have been approved as may be required under the terms of such Declaration, then a statement that such plans and specifications have been so approved, and (D) all amendments or modifications of the applicable Declaration. Subject to the last paragraph of this Section 6.1, the delivery of said Declarant Estoppel Certificates from such Declarants shall be a condition of Closing, and the failure or inability of Sellers to obtain and deliver said Declarant Estoppel Certificates, each applicable Seller having used its good faith efforts to obtain the same, shall not constitute a default by Sellers under this Agreement; provided, however, that if the closing of purchase and sale of any Property is adjourned or postponed beyond the initial First Closing Date set forth in Section 2.7(a) hereof for any reason permitted under this Agreement or as otherwise may be agreed by Seller and Purchaser and Sellers theretofore shall have obtained and delivered an Declarant Estoppel Certificate meeting the requirements of this Section 6.1(h) and dated within thirty (30) days of said initial First Closing Date, then this condition shall be deemed satisfied as to such Property and Sellers shall have no obligation to seek or obtain an updated Declarant Estoppel Certificate as to such Property to comply with clause (i) hereinabove. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if the applicable Seller has been unable to obtain and deliver to Purchaser by Closing the applicable Declarant Estoppel Certificate meeting the requirements set forth above, then, at the option of such Seller, this condition to Closing may be satisfied by such Seller’s execution and delivery to Purchaser at Closing, on behalf of any Declarant having rights with respect to the Property of such Seller and which has failed to provide the required Declarant Estoppel Certificate, a Seller’s Estoppel substantially in the form attached hereto as SCHEDULE 20; and provided that the applicable Seller’s liability under any such Seller’s Estoppel so executed and delivered by such Seller to Purchaser at Closing shall cease and terminate upon the receipt by Purchaser after Closing of a duly executed Declarant Estoppel Certificate from the Declarant covered in such Seller’s Estoppel to the extent that such Declarant Estoppel Certificate conforms to Seller’s Estoppel in all material respects.

(i) Gartner Lease Amendment and ISS Lease Amendment. The Gartner Lease Amendment as executed by Wells Funds XI and XII REIT JV and Gartner, Inc., and the ISS Lease Amendment as executed by Wells OP and Internet Security Systems, Inc., each of which lease amendments shall be substantially in the forms attached hereto as Exhibit “CC” and Exhibit “DD”, respectively. Subject to the last paragraph of this Section 6.1, the delivery of the Gartner Lease Amendment and the ISS Lease Amendment shall be conditions to Closing, and the failure or inability of Sellers to obtain and delivery either of said lease amendments, each applicable Seller having used its good faith efforts to obtain the same from said tenants, shall not constitute a default by Sellers hereunder.

(j) Final C.O.’s for Alstom Power Property and Capital One Property. The delivery by Wells Virginia REIT and Wells OP to Purchaser of copies of final certificates of occupancy for all improvements located on the Alstom Power Property and the Capital One Property, or the delivery by Wells Virginia REIT and Wells OP to Purchaser of other evidence satisfactory to Purchaser that final certificates of occupancy have been issued by the applicable governing authorities for all improvements located on the Alstom Power Property and the Capital One Property.

In the event any condition in this Section 6.1 has not been satisfied (or otherwise waived in writing by Purchaser) prior to or on the Closing Date (as the same may be extended or postponed as provided in this Agreement), Purchaser shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by written notice to Sellers given prior to the Closing, whereupon (i) Escrow Agent shall promptly return the Earnest Money to Purchaser; and (ii) except for those provisions of this Agreement which by their express terms survive the termination of this Agreement, no party hereto shall have any other or further rights or obligations under this Agreement.

6.2. Conditions Precedent to Sellers’ Obligations. The obligations of Sellers hereunder to consummate the transactions contemplated hereunder shall in all respects be conditioned upon the satisfaction of each of the following conditions prior to or simultaneously with the Closing (or at such earlier time as may be provided below), any of which may be waived by Sellers in their sole discretion by written notice to Purchaser at or prior to the Closing Date:

(a) Purchaser shall have paid and Sellers shall have received the Purchase Price, as adjusted pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, which Purchase Price shall be payable in the amount and in the manner provided for in this Agreement;

(b) Purchaser shall have performed, in all material respects, all covenants, agreements and undertakings of Purchaser contained in this Agreement; and

(c) All representations and warranties of Purchaser as set forth in this Agreement shall be true and correct in all material respects as of the date of this Agreement and as of Closing, provided that solely for purposes of this subparagraph such warranties and representations shall be deemed to be given without being limited to Purchaser’s knowledge and without modification (by update or otherwise, as provided in Section 5.2 hereof).

6.3. Conditions Precedent to Purchase and Sale of Certain Properties.

(a) In addition to and not in lieu of Sections 6.1 and 6.2 above, the respective obligations of Purchaser and Sellers to consummate the transaction contemplated hereunder with respect to the Bank of America Property shall in all respects be conditioned upon the failure (or deemed failure) of Bank of America NT & SA, as tenant under its Lease affecting the Bank of America Property, to timely exercise its right to purchase the Bank of America Property pursuant to the terms of its Lease. In the event that the Outstanding ROFO/ROFR Party shall timely exercise its right to purchase the Bank of America Property, Sellers shall promptly notify Purchaser in writing thereof, which notice shall be accompanied by a true and correct copy of the notice of exercise received by the applicable Seller (“Seller’s Partial Termination Notice”). Upon the delivery by Seller to Purchaser of Seller’s Partial Termination Notice, this Agreement shall terminate the Bank of America Property which is the subject of Seller’s Partial Termination Notice, whereupon (1) the aggregate Purchase Price for the Properties as set forth in Section 2.5 hereof shall be reduced by the Purchase Price for the Bank of America Property as set forth on EXHIBIT “O” attached hereto; (2) Escrow Agent shall promptly return the Earnest Money allocated to the Bank of America Property (i.e., $1,500,000.00) to Purchaser; (3) the parties hereto shall proceed to close the purchase and sale of the other Properties which are the subject of this Agreement; and (4) except for those provisions of this Agreement which by their express terms survive the termination of this Agreement, no party hereto shall have any other or further rights or obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Bank of America Property.

(b) In addition to and not in lieu of Section 6.1 and Section 6.2 above, the respective obligations of Purchaser and Seller to consummate the transactions contemplated hereunder with respect to the ASML Property and the Ingram Micro Property shall in all respects be conditioned upon the written approval or consent of the lessors under the ASML Prime Ground Lease, the ASML Sub-Ground Lease and the Ingram Micro Bond Lease to the transfers, respectively, of the leasehold estates in the ASML Property and the Ingram Micro Property to Purchaser.

ARTICLE 7.

CASUALTY AND CONDEMNATION

7.1. Casualty. Risk of loss up to and including the Closing Date shall be borne by Sellers. In the event of any immaterial damage or destruction to the Properties of a Seller or any portion thereof, Sellers and Purchaser shall proceed to close under this Agreement, and Purchaser will receive (and the applicable Seller whose Property or Properties was or were the subject of such damage or destruction will assign to Purchaser at the Closing such Seller’s rights under insurance policies to receive) any insurance proceeds (including any rent loss insurance applicable to any period on and after the Closing Date) due such Seller as a result of such damage or destruction (less any amounts reasonably expended for restoration or collection of proceeds) and assume responsibility for such repair, and Purchaser shall receive a credit at Closing for any deductible amount under said insurance policies. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “immaterial damage or destruction” shall be applied on a Property by Property basis and shall mean such instances of damage or destruction of the subject Property:

(i) which can be repaired or restored at a cost equal to or less than an amount equal to five percent (5%) of the Purchase Price of such Property, as set forth on the attached Exhibit “O”; (ii) which can be restored and repaired within one hundred eighty (180) days from the date of such damage or destruction; (iii) which are not so extensive as to allow any Major Tenant of such Property to terminate its Lease with respect to such Property or abate or reduce rent payable thereunder (unless business loss or rent insurance shall be available in the full amount of such abatement or reduction, subject to applicable deductibles) on account of such damage or destruction; and (iv) in which such Seller’s rights under its rent loss insurance policies covering such Property are assignable to Purchaser and will continue pending restoration and repair of the damage or destruction.

In the event of any material damage or destruction to one or more of the Properties or any portion thereof, Purchaser may, at its option, by notice to Sellers given within the earlier of twenty (20) days after Purchaser is notified by Sellers of such damage or destruction, or the Closing Date, but in no event less than ten (10) days after Purchaser is notified by Seller of such damage or destruction (and if necessary the Closing Date shall be extended to give Purchaser the full 10-day period to make such election): (i) terminate this Agreement as to any such Property which is the subject of material damage or destruction (an “Excluded Property”), or (ii) proceed to close under this Agreement, receive (and each Seller will assign to Purchaser at the Closing the rights of such Seller under insurance policies to receive) any insurance proceeds (including any rent loss insurance applicable to the period on or after the Closing Date) due such Seller as a result of such damage or destruction (less any amounts reasonably expended for restoration or collection of proceeds) and assume responsibility for such repair, and Purchaser shall receive a credit at Closing for any deductible amount under said insurance policies. If Purchaser fails to deliver to Sellers notice of its election within the period set forth above, Purchaser will conclusively be deemed to have elected to proceed with the Closing as provided in clause (ii) of the preceding sentence. If Purchaser elects clause (ii) above, each Seller will cooperate with Purchaser after the Closing to assist Purchaser in obtaining the insurance proceeds from the insurers of such Seller. For purposes of this Agreement “material damage or destruction” shall mean all instances of damage or destruction that are not immaterial, as defined herein.

7.2. Condemnation. If, prior to the Closing, all or any part of the Properties of a Seller is subjected to a bona fide threat of condemnation by a body having the power of eminent domain or is taken by eminent domain or condemnation (or sale in lieu thereof), or if a Seller has received written notice that any condemnation action or proceeding with respect to the Properties of such Seller is contemplated by a body having the power of eminent domain (collectively, a “Taking”), such Seller shall give Purchaser immediate written notice of such Taking. In the event of any immaterial Taking with respect to the Properties of a Seller or any portion thereof, Sellers and Purchaser shall proceed to close under this Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “immaterial Taking” shall be applied on a Property by Property basis and shall mean such instances of Taking of the subject Property: (i) which do not result in a taking of any portion of the building structure of the building occupied by tenants on such Property; (ii) which do not result in a decrease in the number of parking spaces at such Property (taking into account the number of additional parking spaces that can be provided within one hundred eighty (180) days of such Taking); and (iii) which are not so extensive as to allow any Major

Tenant of such Property to terminate its Lease with respect to such Property or abate or reduce rent payable thereunder [unless business loss or rent insurance (subject to applicable deductibles) or condemnation award proceeds shall be available in the full amount of such abatement or reduction, and Purchaser shall receive a credit at Closing for such deductible amount] on account of such Taking.

In the event of any material Taking of one or more of the Properties or any portion thereof (any such Property also being referred to in this Agreement as an “Excluded Property”), Purchaser may, at its option, by written notice to Sellers given within thirty (30) days after the receipt of such notice from such Seller, elect to terminate this Agreement only as to any such Excluded Property. If Purchaser chooses to terminate this Agreement as to any such Excluded Property in accordance with this Section 7.2, then the rights, duties, obligations, and liabilities of the parties hereunder shall immediately terminate as to any such Excluded Property only and be of no further force and effect, except for those provisions of this Agreement which by their express terms survive the termination of this Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement “material Taking” shall mean all instances of a Taking that are not immaterial, as defined herein.

If Purchaser does not elect to, or has no right to, terminate this Agreement as to any Property in accordance herewith on account of a Taking, this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and the sale of the Properties contemplated by this Agreement, less any interest taken by eminent domain or condemnation, or sale in lieu thereof, shall be effected with no further adjustment and without reduction of the Purchase Price, and at the Closing, each Seller shall assign, transfer, and set over to Purchaser all of the right, title, and interest of such Seller in and to any awards applicable to the Properties of such Seller that have been or that may thereafter be made for such taking. At such time as all or a part of the Properties of a Seller is subjected to a bona fide threat of condemnation and Purchaser shall not have elected to terminate this Agreement as to any such Excluded Property only as provided in this Section 7.2, and provided that the Inspection Period has expired and Purchaser has delivered the Earnest Money to Escrow Agent, (i) Purchaser shall thereafter be permitted to participate in the proceedings as if Purchaser were a party to the action, and (ii) such Seller shall not settle or agree to any award or payment pursuant to condemnation, eminent domain, or sale in lieu thereof without obtaining Purchaser’s prior written consent thereto in each case.

ARTICLE 8.

DEFAULT AND REMEDIES

8.1. Purchaser’s Default. If Purchaser fails to consummate this transaction for any reason other than the default of Sellers, failure of a condition to Purchaser’s obligation to close, or the exercise by Purchaser of an express right of termination granted herein, Sellers shall be entitled, as their sole remedy hereunder, to terminate this Agreement and to receive and retain the Earnest Money as full liquidated damages for such default of Purchaser, the parties hereto acknowledging that it is impossible to estimate more precisely the damages which might be suffered by Sellers upon Purchaser’s default, and that said Earnest Money is a reasonable estimate of the probable loss of Sellers in the event of default by Purchaser. The retention by Sellers of said Earnest Money is intended not as a penalty, but as full liquidated damages. The

right to retain the Earnest Money as full liquidated damages is the sole and exclusive remedy of Sellers in the event of default hereunder by Purchaser, and Sellers hereby waive and release any right to (and hereby covenant that they shall not) sue the Purchaser: (a) for specific performance of this Agreement, or (b) to recover actual damages in excess of the Earnest Money. The foregoing liquidated damages provision shall not apply to or limit Purchaser’s liability for Purchaser’s obligations under Sections 3.1(b), 3.1(c), 3.7 and 10.1 of this Agreement or for Purchaser’s obligation to pay to Sellers all attorney’s fees and costs of Sellers to enforce the provisions of this Section 8.1. Purchaser hereby waives and releases any right to (and hereby covenants that it shall not) sue Sellers or either of them or seek or claim a refund of said Earnest Money (or any part thereof) on the grounds it is unreasonable in amount and exceeds the actual damages of Sellers or that its retention by Sellers constitutes a penalty and not agreed upon and reasonable liquidated damages.

8.2. Seller’s Default. If Sellers or any of them fail to perform any of their respective obligations under this Agreement for any reason other than Purchaser’s default or the permitted termination of this Agreement by Sellers or any of them or Purchaser as expressly provided herein, Purchaser shall be entitled, as its sole remedy, either (a) to receive the return of the Earnest Money from Escrow Agent, which return shall operate to terminate this Agreement and release Sellers from any and all liability hereunder; provided, however, that in the event, and only in the event, such default by any Seller was willful and intentional and Purchaser receives the return of the Earnest Money, then Sellers shall pay to Purchaser an amount equal to the lesser of (i) Purchaser’s actual out-of-pocket expenditures incurred directly in conducting due diligence activities contemplated under this Agreement and in negotiating and finalizing this Agreement, or (ii) Ten Million and No/100 Dollars ($10,000,000.00), or (b) to enforce specific performance of the obligation of each Seller to execute and deliver the documents required to convey the Property owned by such Seller to Purchaser in accordance with this Agreement; it being specifically understood and agreed that the remedy of specific performance shall not be available to enforce any other obligation of Sellers or any of them hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if after January 7, 2005, any Seller shall have conveyed title to such Seller’s Property to another party (other than to the Outstanding ROFO/ROFR Party pursuant to the timely exercise by such Outstanding ROFO/ROFR Party of its ROFO/ROFR Rights) or intentionally and knowingly taken any other action to defeat the remedy of specific performance, Purchaser shall be entitled to seek actual damages from Sellers. Except as expressly provided to the contrary in this Section 8.2, Purchaser expressly waives its rights to seek damages in the event of the default of Sellers or any of them hereunder. Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected to terminate this Agreement and to receive a return of the Earnest Money applicable to such Property from Escrow Agent if Purchaser fails to file suit for specific performance against each applicable Seller who is in breach of its obligations hereunder in a court having jurisdiction on or before sixty (60) days following the date upon which the Closing was to have occurred.

ARTICLE 9.

ASSIGNMENT

9.1. Assignment. Subject to the next following sentence, this Agreement and all rights and obligations hereunder shall not be assignable by any party without the written consent of the other. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, (i) this Agreement and all of

Purchaser’s rights hereunder may be transferred and assigned to any entity controlled by Purchaser or one or more of Purchaser’s joint venture partners, and (ii) only contemporaneously with the Closing hereunder, Purchaser’s rights under this Agreement with respect to any one or more of the separate Properties may be transferred and assigned to any entity controlled by Purchaser or one or more of Purchaser’s joint venture partners so that the applicable Property or Properties as to which the transfer and assignment relates shall be conveyed to the applicable assignee and such assignee shall become the “Purchaser” under this Agreement as to such Property or Properties. Any assignee or transferee under any such assignment or transfer by Purchaser as to which the written consent of Seller has been given or as to which the consent of Seller is not required hereunder shall expressly assume all of Purchaser’s duties, liabilities and obligations under this Agreement (whether arising or accruing prior to or after the applicable assignment or transfer) by written instrument delivered to Seller as a condition to the effectiveness of such assignment or transfer, except that any assignee or transferee under a transfer or assignment effectuated contemporaneously with the Closing under clause (ii) of the preceding sentence shall be required to assume only such of Purchaser’s duties, liabilities and obligations under this Agreement that relate to the particular Property or Properties as to which the transfer and assignment relates, and upon such assumption by the assignee or transferee, except for the duties and obligations arising under Purchaser’s indemnities set forth in Sections 3.1(c) and 10.1 of this Agreement, the original Purchaser shall be released and shall have no further liabilities, duties or obligations under this Agreement that relate to such particular Property or Properties as to which the transfer and assignment relates. No assignment or transfer effectuated under clause (i) of this Section 9.1 shall relieve the original Purchaser of any duties or obligations hereunder, and the written assignment and assumption agreement shall expressly so provide. No assignment or transfer effectuated under clause (ii) above shall relieve the original Purchaser of any duties and obligations arising under Purchaser’s indemnities set forth in Sections 3.1(c) and 10.1 hereof. For purposes of this Section 9.1, the term “control” shall mean the ownership of at least fifty percent (50%) of the applicable entity. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective legal representatives, successors and permitted assigns. This Agreement is not intended and shall not be construed to create any rights in or to be enforceable in any part by any other persons.

ARTICLE 10.

BROKERAGE COMMISSIONS

10.1. Broker. Upon the Closing, and only in the event the Closing occurs, Sellers shall pay a brokerage commission to Eastdil Realty Company, LLC, a New York limited liability company (“Broker”), pursuant to a separate agreement between Sellers and Broker. Broker is representing Sellers in this transaction. Broker has joined in the execution of this Agreement for the purpose of acknowledging and agreeing that no real estate commission shall be earned by it or due it if the transaction contemplated herein does not close for any reason whatsoever. Broker acknowledges and agrees that it shall look solely to Sellers, and not to Purchaser, for the payment of such commission, and Broker hereby waives and releases any present or future claims against Purchaser for the payment of such commission. In addition, Broker (upon receipt of its brokerage commission) agrees to execute and deliver to Sellers and Purchaser at the Closing a release and waiver of any claim Broker may have against Purchaser or the Properties.

Broker shall and does hereby indemnify and hold Purchaser and Sellers harmless from and against any and all liability, loss, cost, damage, and expense, including reasonable attorneys’ fees actually incurred and costs of litigation, Purchaser or Sellers shall ever suffer or incur because of any claim by any agent, salesman, or broker, whether or not meritorious, for any fee, commission or other compensation with regard to this Agreement or the sale and purchase of the Properties contemplated hereby, and arising out of any acts or agreements of Broker. Each Seller shall and does hereby indemnify and hold Purchaser harmless from and against any and all liability, loss, cost, damage, and expense, including reasonable attorneys’ fees actually incurred and costs of litigation, Purchaser shall ever suffer or incur because of any claim by any agent, salesman, or broker, whether or not meritorious, for any fee, commission or other compensation with regard to this Agreement or the sale and purchase of the Properties contemplated hereby, and arising out of any acts or agreements of such Seller, including any claim asserted by Broker. Likewise, Purchaser shall and does hereby indemnify and hold Sellers free and harmless from and against any and all liability, loss, cost, damage, and expense, including reasonable attorneys’ fees actually incurred and costs of litigation, Sellers shall ever suffer or incur because of any claim by any agent, salesman, or broker, whether or not meritorious, for any fee, commission or other compensation with respect to this Agreement or the sale and purchase of the Properties contemplated hereby and arising out of the acts or agreements of Purchaser. This Section 10.1 shall survive the Closing until the expiration of any applicable statute of limitations and shall survive any earlier termination of this Agreement.

ARTICLE 11.

INDEMNIFICATION

11.1. Indemnification by Sellers. Following the Closing and subject to Sections 11.3 and 11.4, each Seller shall indemnify and hold Purchaser, its affiliates, members and partners, and the partners, shareholders, officers, directors, employees, representatives and agents of each of the foregoing (collectively, “Purchaser-Related Entities”) harmless from and against any and all costs, fees, expenses, damages, deficiencies, interest and penalties (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) suffered or incurred by any such indemnified party in connection with any and all losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses (“Losses”), arising out of, or in any way relating to, (a) any breach of any representation or warranty of such Seller contained in this Agreement or in any Closing Document, and (b) any breach of any covenant of such Seller or of Sellers jointly contained in this Agreement which survives the Closing or in any Closing Document.

11.2. Indemnification by Purchaser. Following the Closing and subject to Sections 11.3 and 11.4, Purchaser (and Purchaser’s joint venture partners to whom any rights of Purchaser are assigned pursuant to Section 9.1 hereof) shall indemnify and hold Sellers, their respective affiliates, members and partners, and the partners, shareholders, officers, directors, employees, representatives and agents of each of the foregoing (collectively, “Seller-Related Entities”) harmless from any and all Losses arising out of, or in any way relating to, (a) any breach of any representation or warranty by Purchaser contained in this Agreement or in any Closing Document, and (b) any breach of any covenant of Purchaser contained in this Agreement which survives the Closing or in any Closing Documents.

11.3. Limitations on Indemnification. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of Section 11.1, (a) Sellers shall not be required to indemnify Purchaser or any Purchaser Related Entities under this Agreement unless the aggregate of all amounts for which an indemnity would otherwise be payable by Sellers under Section 11.1 above exceeds the Basket Limitation and, in such event Sellers shall be responsible for only the amount in excess of the Basket Limitation (the “Excess Amount”), with Wells OP responsible only for that amount equal to the Excess Amount multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the sum of (i) the individual liability of Wells OP under Section 11.1 above, plus (ii) a percentage of the joint (and not individual) liability of Sellers under Section 11.1 above, with such percentage to be equal to one one-hundredth (1/100^th) multiplied by the quotient obtained by dividing the total Purchase Price for the Wells OP Properties by the total Purchase Price for all of the Properties, and with each Wells Affiliate responsible only for that amount equal to the Excess Amount multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the sum of (i) the individual liability of such Wells Affiliate under Section 11.1 above, plus (ii) a percentage of the joint (and not individual) liability of Sellers under Section 11.1 above, with such percentage to be equal to one one-hundredth (1/100^th) multiplied by the quotient obtained by dividing the Purchase Price for the Wells Affiliate Property owned by such Wells Affiliate by the total Purchase Price for all of the Properties, (b) in no event shall the liability of Sellers with respect to the indemnification provided for in Section 11.1 above exceed in the aggregate the Cap Limitation, (c) if prior to the Closing, Purchaser obtains knowledge in writing of any inaccuracy or breach of any representation, warranty or covenant of Sellers or any of them contained in this Agreement (a “Purchaser-Waived Breach”) and nonetheless proceeds with and consummates the Closing, then Purchaser and any Purchaser-Related Entities shall be deemed to have waived and forever renounced any right to assert a claim for indemnification under this Article 11 for, or any other claim or cause of action under this Agreement, at law or in equity on account of any such Purchaser-Waived Breach, and (d) notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Basket Limitation and the Cap Limitation shall not apply with respect to Losses suffered or incurred as a result of breaches of any covenant or agreement of Sellers or any of them set forth in Section 5.3, Section 5.4, Section 10.1, EXHIBIT “R” or “EXHIBIT “V” of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 11.1 or in this Section 11.3, Wells OP agrees that Wells OP shall be jointly and severally liable with Wells Virginia REIT, Wells Brea, Wells Westlake, Wells Farmington Hills, Wells Kalamazoo and Wells EDS with respect to all obligations of each such party to Purchaser under Section 11.1 above and this Section 11.3.

11.4. Survival. The representations, warranties and covenants contained in this Agreement and the Closing Documents with respect to each Property shall survive until the first (1^st) anniversary of the closing of each such Property, unless a longer or shorter survival period is expressly provided for in this Agreement, or unless prior to such first (1^st) anniversary date of such Closing, Purchaser or Seller, as the case may be, delivers written notice to the other party of such alleged breach specifying with reasonable detail the nature of such alleged breach and files an action with respect thereto within one hundred twenty (120) days after the giving of such notice.

11.5. Indemnification as Sole Remedy. If the Closing has occurred, the sole and exclusive remedy available to a party in the event of a breach by the other party to this Agreement of any representation, warranty, or covenant or other provision of this Agreement or any Closing Document which survives the Closing shall be the indemnifications provided for under Section 3.1(c), Section 10.1, and this Article 11.

12.6 Severability. This Agreement is intended to be performed in accordance with, and only to the extent permitted by, all applicable laws, ordinances, rules and regulations. If any provision of this Agreement, or the application thereof to any person or circumstance, shall, for

any reason and to any extent be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement and the application of such provision to other persons or circumstances shall not be affected thereby but rather shall be enforced to the greatest extent permitted by law.

12.7 Construction. This Agreement shall not be construed more strictly against one party than against the other merely by virtue of the fact that this Agreement may have been prepared by counsel for one of the parties, it being mutually acknowledged and agreed that Sellers and Purchaser and their respective counsel have contributed substantially and materially to the preparation and negotiation of this Agreement. Accordingly, the normal rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall not be employed in the interpretation of this Agreement or any exhibits or amendments hereto.

12.8 Sale Notification Letters. Promptly following the Closing, Purchaser shall deliver the Tenant Notices of Sale to each of the respective tenants under the Leases, the Ground Lessor Notices of Sale to each of the respective Ground Lessors under the Wells OP Ground Leases, the Declarant Notices to each of the respective Declarants under the Declarations, and the Other Notices of Sale to each service provider and leasing agent, the obligations under whose respective Service Contracts and Commission Agreements Purchaser has assumed at Closing.

12.9 Access to Records Following Closing. Purchaser agrees that for a period of one (1) year following the Closing, each Seller shall have the right during regular business hours, on five (5) days’ written notice to Purchaser, to examine and review at Purchaser’s office (or, at Purchaser’s election, at the Properties), the books and records of such Seller relating to the ownership and operation of the Properties of such Seller which were delivered by such Seller to Purchaser at the Closing. Likewise, each Seller agrees that for a period of one (1) year following the Closing, Purchaser shall have the right during regular business hours, on five (5) days’ written notice to such Seller, to examine and review at such Seller’s office, all books, records and files, if any, retained by such Seller relating to the ownership and operation by Seller prior to the Closing of the Properties of such Seller. The provisions of this Section shall survive the Closing for a period of one (1) year after the Closing Date.

12.10 Submission to Jurisdiction. Each of Purchaser and Sellers irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of (a) the Superior Court of Gwinnett County, Georgia located in Lawrenceville, Georgia, and (b) the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia for the purposes of any suit, action or other proceeding arising out of this Agreement or any transaction contemplated hereby. Each of Purchaser and Sellers further agrees that service of any process, summons, notice or document by U.S. registered mail to such party’s respective address set forth above shall be effective service of process for any action, suit or proceeding in Georgia with respect to any matters to which it has submitted to jurisdiction as set forth above in the immediately preceding sentence. Each of Purchaser and Sellers irrevocably and unconditionally waives trial by jury and irrevocably and unconditionally waives any objection to the laying of venue of any action, suit or proceeding arising out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby in (a) the Superior Court of Gwinnett County, Georgia located in Lawrenceville, Georgia, and (b) the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia, and hereby further irrevocably and unconditionally waives and agrees not to plead or claim in any such court that any such action, suit or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

12.11 General Provisions. No failure of any party to exercise any power given hereunder or to insist upon strict compliance with any obligation specified herein, and no custom or practice at variance with the terms hereof, shall constitute a waiver of any party’s right to demand exact compliance with the terms hereof. This Agreement contains the entire agreement of the parties hereto, and no representations, inducements, promises, or agreements, oral or otherwise, between the parties not embodied herein shall be of any force or effect. Any amendment to this Agreement shall not be binding upon Sellers or Purchaser unless such amendment is in writing and executed by Sellers and Purchaser. Subject to the provisions of Section 9.1 hereof, the provisions of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective heirs, legal representatives, successors, and permitted assigns. Time is of the essence in this Agreement. The headings inserted at the beginning of each paragraph are for convenience only, and do not add to or subtract from the meaning of the contents of each paragraph. This Agreement shall be construed, interpreted and enforced under the laws of the State of Georgia. Except as otherwise provided herein, all rights, powers, and privileges conferred hereunder upon the parties shall be cumulative but not restrictive to those given by law. All personal pronouns used in this Agreement, whether used in the masculine, feminine, or neuter gender shall include all genders, and all references herein to the singular shall include the plural and vice versa.

12.12 Like-Kind Exchange . The parties hereto desire, and each party is willing to cooperate (subject to the limitations set forth below), to effectuate the sale of any one or more of the Properties by means of an exchange of “like-kind” property which will qualify as such under Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the regulations promulgated thereunder. Each party expressly reserves the right to assign its rights, but not its obligations, hereunder to a qualified intermediary as provided in I.R.C. Reg. 1.1031(k)-1(g)(4) on or before the date of Closing. Upon written notice from either party (a “Requesting Party”) to the other, the party to whom such notice is given (the “Other Party”) agrees to cooperate with the Requesting Party to effect one or more like-kind exchanges with respect to the Property designated by such Requesting Party in its notice to the Other Party, provided that such cooperation shall be subject to the following conditions: (a) such exchange shall not delay the Closing and shall occur either simultaneously with the Closing or the purchase money proceeds payable to such Seller shall be paid, upon such Seller’s prior written direction to Purchaser, to a third party escrow agent or intermediary such that Purchaser shall not be required to participate in any subsequent closing, (b) the Requesting Party shall not be obligated to spend any sums or incur any expenses in excess of the sums and expenses which would have been spent or incurred by the Requesting Party if there had been no exchange, (c) Purchaser shall not be obligated to acquire or accept title to any property other than the applicable Property to be conveyed to Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement, and (d) Seller shall not be obligated to acquire or accept title to any property. The Other Party makes no representation or warranty that the conveyance of any Property or property made pursuant to this Section 12.12 shall qualify for a like-kind exchange. Once Purchaser has paid the purchase money proceeds as directed by such Seller, or such Seller has conveyed the Property as directed by Purchaser, it shall have no further obligation hereunder with respect to such “like-kind” exchange. Each Requesting Party hereby

indemnifies and holds the Other Party harmless from and against any costs, liabilities and expenses incurred or suffered by the Other Party in connection with the “like-kind” exchange or exchanges described herein, which indemnity shall survive the Closing until the expiration of any applicable statute of limitations.

12.13 Attorney’s Fees. If Purchaser or Sellers or any of them brings an action at law or equity against the other in order to enforce the provisions of this Agreement or as a result of an alleged default under this Agreement, the prevailing party in such action shall be entitled to recover court costs and reasonable attorney’s fees actually incurred from the other.

12.14 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which when taken together shall constitute one and the same original. To facilitate the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the parties may execute and exchange counterparts of the signature pages by facsimile, and the signature page of either party to any counterpart may be appended to any other counterpart.

12.15 Effective Agreement. The submission of this Agreement for examination is not intended to nor shall constitute an offer to sell, or a reservation of, or option or proposal of any kind for the purchase of the Properties. In no event shall any draft of this Agreement create any obligation or liability, it being understood that this Agreement shall be effective and binding only when a counterpart of this Agreement has been executed and delivered by each party hereto.
