     In the event Seller is unable to obtain Tenant Estoppel Certificates from any of the Tenants (other than the Major Tenants, which Tenant Estoppel Certificates are required) by the Closing Date, then: (i) Seller shall deliver to Buyer a Landlord’s Estoppel Certificate in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E for each such Tenant, and (ii) Buyer shall accept such Landlord Estoppel Certificates in substitution for the Tenant Estoppel Certificates. In the event Seller or Buyer subsequently obtains any of the outstanding Tenant Estoppel Certificates, then such certificate(s) shall replace and supersede the respective Landlord Estoppel Certificate(s), and Seller shall immediately be released from any liability that might otherwise arise from such Landlord Estoppel Certificate(s).

As used herein, the term “Rent” includes all payments or sums chargeable to Tenants

10


 

under the Leases, including but not limited to, basic rent, percentage rent, CAM charges, “pass-throughs”, expenses, and other costs. Delinquent Rent shall not be prorated.
     (i) Buyer agrees that, with respect to any delinquent Rent that accrues during periods of time prior to the Closing Date (regardless of when actually received, reconciled, or charged, the “Pre-Closing Rent”), if Buyer collects such Pre-Closing Rent then such Pre-Closing Rent shall be forwarded to Seller, after deducting the costs, if any of collections, within three (3) Business Days of receipt thereof by Buyer.
          (A) After Closing, Buyer shall bill and attempt to collect any Pre-Closing Rent in the ordinary course of business, but shall not be obligated to engage a collection agency or take legal action to collect any such Pre-Closing Rent. For a period of one (1) year after Closing, Seller is permitted to pursue any Tenant for Pre-Closing Rent, but agrees to do so in a commercially reasonable manner and without filing any lawsuits against such Tenants.
          (B) Buyer and Seller each agree to provide the other with reports and statements showing the amounts and collection status of Pre-Closing Rent, including all information necessary to reconcile percentage rents, CAM charges, and all other items not included in the base rental amounts. Upon five (5) Business Days’ Notice, Buyer and Seller each agree to permit the other party to review their books and records with respect to the Property in their respective place of business in order to verify the amounts due with respect to the Pre-Closing Rent.
     (ii) Seller agrees to forward to Buyer, within three (3) Business Days of receipt thereof, any Rent received after Closing for periods of time following Closing.
     (iii) As of the Effective Date, Starbuck’s is leasing two different spaces at the Property under two separate leases: (i) a space containing approximately 1,853 square feet (the “Original Starbuck’s Space”), as leased to Starbuck’s under a lease executed in November of 1994 (the “Original Starbuck’s Lease”), and (ii) a space containing approximately 5,969 square feet (the “Hear Music Space”), as leased under the Hear Music Lease. It is contemplated that Starbuck’s will open for business at the Hear Music Space in the Fall of 2005, and will cease operations in the Original Starbuck’s Space at approximately 30 days later. In connection with Starbuck’s transfer of operations from the Original Starbuck’s Space to the Hear Music Space, Seller agrees that Buyer shall receive credits in the following amounts at Closing to be applied toward the Purchase Price:
          (A) $37,993 (the “Hear Music Credit”) [NEED TO CONFIRM AMOUNT] to provide supplemental cash flow until the estimated time that Starbuck’s makes it’s first rent payment under the Hear Music Lease. This amount is an estimate of the Rent that would be due under the Hear Music Lease from the Closing Date until the [insert the date which is 120 days from the date

11


 

on which the building permit is received]. In the event Starbuck’s opens for business under the Hear Music Lease prior to [insert the date which is 120 days from the date on which the building permit is received], Buyer shall immediately return a prorated portion of the Hear Music Credit to Seller.
          (B) $26,632 (the Starbuck’s Credit”) [NEED TO CONFIRM AMOUNT] to provide supplemental cash flow while Buyer attempts to locate a replacement tenant for the Original Starbuck’s Space. This amount is an estimate of the Rent that would be due under the Original Starbuck’s Lease for a period of six months, commencing on the Date of Closing, net of any Rent actually received. In the event a replacement tenant occupies the Original Starbuck’s Space, or begins paying rent before the 180th day after the Closing Date, Buyer shall immediately return a prorated portion of the Starbuck’s Credit to Seller.
          (C) Buyer agrees to notify Seller of (i) the date Starbuck’s opens for business under the Hear Music Lease, and (ii) the date a replacement tenant occupies the Original Starbuck’s Space, or begins paying rent. Until the later of the two dates listed in subparagraphs (i) and (ii) above, Buyer also agrees to provide Seller promptly with reports and statements showing the amounts and collection status of Rents received for the Original Starbuck’s Space and the Hear Music Space.
          (d) Charges under all Assumed Contracts (if applicable) shall be prorated on a per diem basis as of the Closing Date, disregarding any discount or penalty and on the basis of the fiscal year or billing period of the person levying or charging for the same. Charges for water, electricity, sewer rental, gas, telephone and all other utilities shall not be prorated but, rather, instructions shall be given to the utility companies by Seller (with a duplicate copy of such instruction being provided concurrently to Buyer) to read the meters on the Closing Date and to issue separate statements thereafter. In the event that any provider of utilities shall refuse to issue separate statements in the manner aforesaid, applicable utility charges shall be prorated such that all charges accruing for the period prior to Closing Date shall be charged to Seller and all charges accruing after the Closing Date shall be charged to Buyer. Buyer shall be responsible for the billing and collection of any reimbursable utility charges from the Tenants with respect to all periods after the Closing Date and shall credit Seller at Closing for any uncollected, reimbursable utility charges from the Tenants with respect to all periods prior to the Closing Date, provided that such charges are otherwise not delinquent. Seller and Buyer shall cooperate to cause the transfer of the Property’s telephone number(s) and utility accounts from Seller to Buyer.
     If estimated utility charges and/or operating expenses are used to calculate the prorated amounts at Closing, the Parties agree that, when the actual amount of such utilities and other operating expenses with respect to the Property for the month in which the Closing occurs are determined, the Parties agree to adjust the proration of such utilities and other operating expenses and, if necessary, to refund or repay such sums as shall be necessary to effect such adjustments.
          (e) The provisions of this Section 15 shall survive Closing.

     Section 16. Real Estate Commission. Neither Buyer nor Seller has used a broker or intermediary to negotiate this transaction except for Tom Salanty of Cushman & Wakefield (“Broker”). Seller shall pay Broker its fee if, as and when Closing occurs pursuant to a separate agreement between Seller and Broker. Buyer and Seller hereby indemnify, defend and hold the other harmless from and against any and all claims, losses, costs and expenses, including reasonable counsel fees, resulting from any claims that may be made through that Party against the other by any other broker or intermediary claiming a commission.
     Section 17. Expenses. At Closing:
          (a) Seller shall pay: (i) all charges for Seller’s legal fees; (ii) one-half (1/2) of any escrow fee charged by the Title Company; (iii) the cost of recording any release of liens; (iv) the basic premium for the Owner’s Title Policy (but not the cost to insure any exceptions, obtain any deletions, or provide any endorsements);
          (b) Buyer shall pay: (i) all charges for Buyer’s legal fees; (ii) one-half (1/2) of any escrow fee charged by the Title Company; (iii) the premium or extra expense in connection with the Owner’s Title Policy that the Title Company charges to insure any exceptions, obtain any deletions, or provide any endorsements; (iv) the cost of recording the instruments of conveyance contemplated by this Agreement; (v) the cost of updates and changes to the Survey after delivery thereof by Seller to Buyer; and
          (c) Except as expressly provided herein, all other Closing costs not allocated to a Party pursuant to the terms hereof shall be paid by the Party incurring same. The provisions of this Section 17 shall survive Closing.
     Section 18. Operation of Property. Between the Effective Date and the Closing Date, (i) Seller will continue to enforce the terms of the Leases and will not take or omit to take any action which reasonably could be expected to have a materially adverse effect on Seller’s title to the Property or the condition of the Property, (ii) Seller will not amend, terminate or enter into any Lease without Buyer’s prior written consent in each instance and (iii) Seller will not enter into any contract that will be an obligation affecting the Property subsequent to the Closing except contracts entered into in the ordinary course of business that are terminable without cause on 30-days notice. During the Due Diligence Period, Seller will not enter into any contracts or agreements (whether binding or not) regarding any disposition of the Property, will place a “Contract Pending” sign next to any listing or realtor signs located on or near the Property, and will inform anyone inquiring about the Property that the Property is currently under a pending contract. Upon the expiration of the Tenant Interview Period, and during the pendency of the contract, Seller will remove the Property from any listings or brokerage arrangements, will not further list the Property with any broker or otherwise solicit or make or accept any offers to sell the Property, will not engage in any discussions or negotiations with any third party with respect to the sale or other disposition of the Property, and will not enter into any contracts or agreements (whether binding or not) regarding any disposition of the Property.

13


 

     Section 19. Condemnation and Casualty.
          (a) If after the Effective Date and prior to the Closing all or a part of the Property is subjected to a bona fide threat of condemnation by a body having the power of eminent domain, is taken by eminent domain or condemnation (or sale in lieu thereof), or Seller participates in negotiations in lieu of a condemnation action (a “Condemnation Action”), then upon obtaining knowledge of the Condemnation Action, Seller will notify Buyer of the pendency of such proceedings in writing (the “Condemnation Notice”). Buyer may observe any such negotiations and proceedings, and Seller shall from time to time deliver to Buyer all instruments reasonably requested by it. If the Condemnation Action would allow one or more of the Major Tenants to terminate pursuant to the terms of its Lease, Buyer may terminate this Agreement and cause the Earnest Money (but not the Option Fee except in the event of a Seller Default) to be returned to Buyer, after which neither Party shall have any further obligation to the other pursuant to this Agreement, except for obligations that expressly survive the termination hereof (including Buyer’s indemnification obligations under Section 8 and Buyer’s confidentiality obligations under Section 23). If no such election is made by Buyer within five (5) Business Days following its receipt of the Condemnation Notice, or if the Condemnation Action does not permit this Agreement to be terminated, this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and the transactions contemplated herein, less any interest taken (or proposed to be taken) by eminent domain or condemnation, shall be effected with no further adjustment, and upon the Closing, Seller shall assign, transfer, and set over to Buyer all of the right, title, and interest of Seller in and to any awards that have been or that may thereafter be made for such taking (subject to the rights of Tenants under the Leases in connection with such awards).
          (b) If all or any part of the Property is damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty (a “Casualty”), Seller shall immediately notify Buyer of the damage and provide the estimated amount of the damage (the “Casualty Notice”). If the Casualty permits one or more of the Major Tenants to terminate pursuant to the terms of its Lease, Buyer may terminate this Agreement and cause the Earnest Money (but not the Option Fee except in the event of a Seller Default) to be returned to Buyer, after which neither Party will have any further obligation to the other pursuant to this Agreement, except for obligations that expressly survive the termination hereof (including Buyer’s indemnification obligations under Section 8 and Buyer’s confidentiality obligations under Section 23). If no such election is made by Buyer within five (5) Business Days following its receipt of the Casualty Notice, or if the Casualty does not permit this Agreement to be terminated, this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and the transactions contemplated herein, subject to the Casualty, shall be effected with no further adjustment, and upon the Closing, Seller shall assign, transfer, and set over to Buyer all of the right, title, and interest of Seller in and to any insurance awards that have been or that may thereafter be made for such casualty (subject to the rights of Tenants under the Leases in connection with such awards).
     Section 20. Remedies / Limitation on Liability.
          (a) If Seller defaults in its obligations under this Agreement and fails to cure such default within five (5) Business Days after receipt of Notice from Buyer of such default (a “Seller Default”), then Buyer’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be, at Buyer’s option, either (i) to terminate this Agreement by furnishing Notice of such termination to Seller, in which case

14


 

the Earnest Money (including the Option Fee) shall be returned to Buyer, and Seller will not have any further liability to Buyer, or (ii) to seek specific performance of this Agreement (in which case Seller shall reimburse Buyer for reasonable attorneys’ fees actually incurred in the enforcement of specific performance by Buyer).
          (b) IF BUYER DEFAULTS IN ITS OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT AND FAILS TO CURE SUCH DEFAULT WITHIN FIVE (5) BUSINESS DAYS AFTER RECEIPT OF NOTICE FROM SELLER OF SUCH DEFAULT (EXCEPT FOR BUYER’S FAILURE TO CLOSE ON THE CLOSING DATE, FOR WHICH BUYER WILL NOT BE ENTITLED TO NOTICE AND AN OPPORTUNITY TO CURE, SINCE THE TIMING OF THE CLOSING DATE IS MATERIAL TO SELLER), THEN SELLER’S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY SHALL BE TO TERMINATE THIS AGREEMENT BY WRITTEN NOTICE TO BUYER AND RETAIN THE EARNEST MONEY AS LIQUIDATED DAMAGES (AS WELL AS THE OPTION FEE), IT BEING ACKNOWLEDGED BY BUYER AND SELLER THAT ACTUAL DAMAGES SUFFERED BY SELLER IN SUCH EVENT WILL BE DIFFICULT OR IMPOSSIBLE TO MEASURE AND THAT THE EARNEST MONEY REPRESENTS A GOOD FAITH ESTIMATE THEREOF; provided, however, that the Earnest Money shall not limit the liability of Buyer to Seller for Buyer’s indemnity obligations under Section 8 and Buyer’s confidentiality obligations under Section 23.
          (c) NEITHER PARTY SHALL HAVE ANY LIABILITY WITH RESPECT TO ITS OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR OTHERWISE FOR INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, INDIRECT, EXEMPLARY OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES EVEN IF SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
The provisions of this Section 20 shall survive the Closing or a termination of this Agreement.
     Section 21. Notices. All notices, demands or other communications of any type (herein collectively referred to as “Notices”) given by Seller to Buyer or by Buyer to Seller, whether required by this Agreement or in any way related to the transaction contracted for herein, shall be given in accordance with the provisions of this Section 21. Notices shall be provided to the Parties and addresses (or facsimile numbers, as applicable) specified on the signature page.
          (a) All Notices shall be in writing and delivered to the person to whom the Notices are directed, in person, by United States mail as a registered or certified item (return receipt requested), by a nationally recognized overnight courier (such as United Parcel Service or FedEx) provided that a signature evidencing receipt is requested, or by facsimile transmission.
          (b) Provided that the delivery attempt for such Notice is made between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. at the recipient’s location on a Business Day:
          (i) Notices given via facsimile transmission shall be effective upon receipt thereof so long as receipt of the transmission is confirmed by a report generated by the sender’s facsimile machine and a copy of the correspondence (together with such report) is also sent by overnight courier as provided above;

15


 

          (ii) Notices given in person will be deemed received on the earlier of actual receipt or when first refused;
          (iii) Notices given via overnight courier in accordance with the terms hereof will be deemed received on the earlier of the first Business Day that the sender schedules delivery to occur, or when first refused; and
          (iv) Notices given via United States mail in accordance with the terms hereof will be deemed received on the earlier of the third Business Day after placing such Notice in the custody of the United States Postal Service (evidenced by the postmark stamped thereon whether or not actually received), or when first refused.
          (c) Any Party hereto may, at any time by giving five (5) Business Days’ Notice to the other Party hereto, designate any other address(es) and/or person(s) in substitution of, or in addition to, the addresses and persons to which such Notice shall be given.
     Section 22. Assignment. Except as provided below in this Section, the rights and obligations of Buyer arising under this Agreement may not be assigned without the prior written consent of Seller, which consent may be granted or withheld in the sole discretion of Seller. The rights and obligations of Buyer under this Agreement may, without the prior written consent of Seller, be assigned to an entity owned or controlled by Buyer, conditioned on the following: (a) the assignee shall be bound by all approvals and waivers, actual and deemed, by Buyer prior to the assignment and shall assume in writing all of Buyer’s obligations hereunder; and (b) no such assignment shall relieve the Buyer named herein from any obligation, duty, or liability under this Agreement, including confidentiality obligations and indemnification obligations; (c) Seller must be provided written notice of and a copy of any such assignment and assumption at least five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing; and (d) Seller will have no obligation to obtain reliance letters or revisions to certifications of the Survey or other Due Diligence Materials in favor of Buyer’s assignee, all of which will be done at Buyer’s cost without delaying Closing. Upon such assignment, Buyer shall remain primarily liable for the performance of its obligations under this Agreement.
     Section 23. Confidentiality. Buyer acknowledges that Buyer has obtained certain information about the Property from the Broker prior to the execution of this Agreement, and in connection therewith, has executed a certain Confidentiality Agreement For Signature By Prospective Purchasers dated July 19, 2005 (the “Broker Confidentiality Agreement”). Buyer confirms and agrees that Seller is a beneficiary of Buyer’s obligations under the Broker Confidentiality Agreement, which are incorporated herein by reference, and that Buyer has not breached and will not breach its obligations under the Broker Confidentiality Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, Buyer hereby agrees that (i) until the Closing it shall keep strictly confidential this transaction, the Purchase Price, the economic terms and other financial information connected hereto, and any documents received from Seller or Broker and (ii) after the Closing it shall keep strictly confidential the Purchase Price, the economic terms and other financial information connected hereto, and any documents received from Seller or Broker. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 23 or this Agreement, Buyer shall have the right to reveal any of the foregoing confidential information at any time to Buyer’s

16


 

directors, officers, shareholders or employees as well as Buyer’s counsel, accounting firms and financial institutions to the extent necessary to comply with: (a) Buyer’s obligations hereunder; and (b) laws and regulations applicable to Buyer. Without limiting the foregoing, BUYER UNDERSTANDS THAT, SUBJECT TO AND EXCEPT AS PROVIDED FOR IN SECTION 7(B) OF THIS AGREEMENT, WITHOUT THE SELLER’S EXPRESS WRITTEN CONSENT, BUYER IS SPECIFICALLY PROHIBITED FROM CONTACTING: (i) THE EXISTING TENANTS OF THE PROPERTY, OR (ii) THEIR RESPECTIVE MANAGERS AND EMPLOYEES, OR (iii) SELLER’S ON-SITE MAINTENANCE PERSONNEL OR EMPLOYEES, OR DISCUSSING THE POTENTIAL SALE OF THE PROPERTY WITH ANY OF THE FOREGOING. The provisions of this Section 23 survive the termination of this agreement.
     Section 24. Miscellaneous.
          (a) This Agreement shall be construed and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas. VENUE FOR ANY DISPUTES ARISING UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE IN THE FEDERAL OR STATE COURTS OF BEXAR COUNTY, TEXAS. In the event of any litigation between Seller and Buyer with respect to the Property or this Agreement, the prevailing Party shall be entitled to collect its reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses from the losing Party.
          (b) Time is of the essence with respect to the Parties’ obligations hereunder. Periods of time shall be measured in calendar days unless otherwise stated. If any performance is required on a Saturday, a Sunday or any holiday, such performance will be due on the next succeeding day which is not a Saturday, a Sunday or a federal holiday under the laws of the United States of America (such succeeding day being a “Business Day”).
          (c) This Agreement may not be modified or amended except by an agreement in writing signed by Seller and Buyer, and upon any delivery of this Agreement into escrow upon execution, Title Company shall be deemed to have been so instructed. A Party may waive any of the conditions contained herein or any of the obligations of the other Party hereunder, but any such waiver shall be effective only if in writing and signed by the Party waiving such conditions or obligations, and upon any delivery of this Agreement into escrow upon execution, Title Company shall be deemed to have been so instructed.
          (d) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of all successors and permitted assigns of the Parties.
          (e) This Agreement shall not create any third party beneficiary rights.
          (f) The descriptive headings of the several sections contained in this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and shall not control or affect the meaning or construction of any of the provisions hereof.
          (g) This Agreement, including the Exhibits hereto, constitutes the entire agreement among the Parties pertaining to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements and understandings of the Parties in connection therewith.

17


 

          (h) This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which, when executed and delivered, shall be an original, but all counterparts shall together constitute one and the same instrument.
          (i) This Agreement shall not be recorded by either Party in any office or place of public record, and, if Buyer shall record this Agreement or cause or permit same to be recorded, Seller may, at its option, elect to treat such act as a default by Buyer of this Agreement.
          (j) If any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement are for any reason held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision hereof, and this Agreement shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal, or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein.
          (k) Except as otherwise provided herein: (i) all notice to third parties and all other publicity concerning the transactions contemplated hereby shall be jointly planned and coordinated by and between Buyer and Seller; and (ii) none of the Parties shall act unilaterally in this regard without the prior written approval of the other, which approval may be withheld in a Party’s sole discretion.
     Section 25. 1031 Exchange. Seller may consummate Seller’s sale of the Property as part of a so-called like kind exchange (the “Exchange”) pursuant to the Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code, provided that: (a) the Closing shall not be delayed or affected by reason of the Exchange nor shall the consummation or accomplishment of the Exchange be a condition or precedent or condition subsequent to Seller’s obligation under this Agreement; (b) Seller shall effect the Exchange through the assignment of this Agreement, or its rights under this Agreement, to a qualified intermediary, and Buyer shall not be required to take assignment of a purchase agreement for the exchange property or be required to acquire or hold title to any real property for purposes of consummating the Exchange; and (c) the Exchange will neither increase the obligations of Buyer hereunder, nor increase the cost to Buyer hereunder. Buyer agrees to acknowledge (the “Acknowledgment”) receipt of a notice that such Exchange will take place.
     Section 26. 3-14 Audit. At no cost to itself, Seller will make reasonable efforts to cooperate with Buyer’s auditors in relation to Rule 3-14 of the Securities and Exchange Commission Regulation S-X audit for significant transactions. Seller understands that such cooperation will require access to accounting records related to the Property, and that Seller will be required to make reasonably requested representations to the auditor about the accounting records related to the Property. The completion of the audit is not required before Closing, and it will not affect the due diligence or Closing.
     Section 27. Effective Date. The effective date of this Agreement (the “Effective Date”) shall be the date on which a fully executed copy of this Agreement has been delivered to and receipted by the Title Company.

Form of Certification of Nonforeign Status
Certification of Nonforeign Status
     Section 1445 of the Internal Revenue Code provides that a transferee (Buyer) of a U.S. real property interest must withhold tax if the transferor (seller) is a foreign person. For U.S. tax purposes (including Section 1445), the owner of a disregarded entity (which has legal title to a U.S. real property interest under local law) will be the transferor of the property and not the disregarded entity. To inform the transferee that withholding of tax is not required upon the disposition of a U.S. real property interest by Midland Real Estate Company, L.P. (“Transferor”), the undersigned hereby certifies the following on behalf of Transferor:
     Transferor is not a foreign corporation, foreign partnership, foreign trust, or foreign estate (as those terms are defined in the Internal Revenue Code and Income Tax Regulations);
     Transferor is not a disregarded entity as defined in Treasury Regulation Sec. 1.1445-2(b)(2)(iii);
     Transferor’s U.S. employer identification number is [                                        ] Reminder: only complete this on the Closing draft; and
     Transferor’s office address is 315 E. Commerce, Suite 300, San Antonio, TX 78205.
     Transferor understands that this certification may be disclosed to the Internal Revenue Service by transferee and that any false statement contained herein could be punished by fine, imprisonment, or both.
     Under penalties of perjury I declare that I have examined this certification and to the best of my knowledge and belief it is true, correct, and complete, and I further declare that I have authority to sign this document on behalf of Transferor.
A disregarded entity is defined in Sec. 1.1445-2(b)(2)(iii) as “an entity that is disregarded as an entity separate from its owner under Sec. 301.7701-3 of this chapter, a qualified REIT subsidiary as defined in Sec. 856(i), or a qualified subchapter S subsidiary under Sec. 1361(b)(3)(B).”

1


 

     3. Tenant Financial Statements.
          (a) Seller agrees that the form of Tenant Estoppel Certificates that Seller is required to request from the Tenants under Section 12 of the Agreement will be modified to include a request (consistent with the applicable paragraph 10.3 of each Lease) for year-end 2004 and year-to-date 2005 financial statements (the “Requested Tenant Financials”) from the tenants with respect to the following Tenant Leases only: (i) Harley Davidson, (ii) Ben & Jerry’s, (iii) Howl at the Moon, (iv) Paesano’s, (v) Swig, and (vi) County Line (collectively, the “ Six Tenants”).
          (b) Seller and Buyer agree that (i) obtaining the Requested Tenant Financials from the Six Tenants will not be a condition to Closing for Buyer or Seller, and (ii) Seller will not be in default under the Agreement if Seller is unable to obtain all or any of the Requested Tenant Financials from the Six Tenants as of the Closing Date (unless Seller fails to request such information, as required in Paragraph 3(a)) above), and (iii) Seller will have no obligation after the Closing Date to obtain any of the Requested Tenant Financials from the Six Tenants, and (iv) Landlord’s Estoppel Certificates (as defined in the Agreement) will not be required to address any of the Requested Tenant Financials or lack thereof.
          (c) Buyer hereby waives any right it may otherwise have to terminate the Agreement (i) if any of the Six Tenants (including any Major Tenants as defined in the Agreement) do not provide the Requested Tenant Financials, or (ii) if Buyer’s review of the Requested Tenant Financials reveals something unsatisfactory to Buyer (whether material or not), or (iii) if the failure of any of the Six Tenants to provide the Requested Tenant Financials constitutes a default under that Tenant’s Lease.
     4. Patio Space Sublease Amendments.
          (a) Seller has delivered to Buyer copies of those three certain Sublease Agreements dated January 31, 1995, January 12, 1995, and January 25, 1995, respectively (collectively, the “Sublease Agreements”), between Seller, as successor in interest to Boulder Creek Company d.b.a. Hixon Development Company, as the landlord and The County Line Riverwalk, Inc. (“County Line”). Rivercor, Inc. (“Paesano’s”). and Hard Rock Café International (STP), Inc. as the subtenants, respectively (collectively, the “Patio Tenants”), concerning the sublease of certain patio space leased by Seller, as successor in interest to Boulder Creek Company d.b.a. Hixon Development Company, from the City of San Antonio (the “City”).
          (b) Seller has previously informed Buyer, and pursuant to Section 5(a) of the Agreement, Seller hereby discloses to Buyer in writing, the following information about the Sublease Agreements (the “Sublease Disclaimers”): (i) each Riverwalk Lease (as defined in the Agreement) requires that the City consent to subleases of the space leased thereunder, and the City originally consented to the three Sublease Agreements; (ii) the three Riverwalk Leases were amended to grant to Seller the right to extend the term of each Riverwalk Lease for three (3) renewal option periods of five (5) years each, and Seller has exercised the first two renewal options for each Riverwalk Lease; (iii) according to their written terms, the Sublease Agreements expired after the original five (5) year terms, and to Seller’s Knowledge (as defined in the Agreement), there are not presently existing any written extensions of the Sublease Agreements;

2


 

(iv) Seller has provided to Buyer a copy of City Ordinance No. 82328, passed and approved on June 8, 1995, which authorized the City’s execution of a Consent of Amendment of Sublease, but Seller is unable to produce a written Amendment to Sublease Agreements (if any) that were executed at that time; (v) since no written amendments of or to the Sublease Agreements were ever provided to the City, the City Ordinance may not be effective to approve of any amendments to the Sublease Agreements; and (vi) although the Patio Tenants have continued to enjoy the benefits under the Sublease Agreements and have continued to meet their respective obligations under the Sublease Agreements as of the date of this Second Amendment, Seller has no evidence that it entered into amendments to the Sublease Agreements with the Patio Tenants, as may be required of Seller under the terms of its Leases with the Patio Tenants.
          (c) Seller agrees that upon receipt, and only after receipt, of the executed Tenant Estoppel Certificate (sent pursuant to the terms of Section 12 of the Agreement) from all three of the Patio Tenants, Seller will submit to each of the Patio Tenants an Amendment to Sublease Agreement in the forms attached hereto as Exhibit “B” (collectively, the “SubleaseAmendments”), and will use good faith efforts to obtain the execution of the Sublease Amendments by the Patio Tenants prior to the Closing Date; provided, however, that (i) obtaining the execution of the Sublease Amendments by the Patio Tenants will not be a condition to Closing for Buyer or Seller, and (ii) Seller will not be in default under the Agreement if any Patio Tenant fails to execute the Sublease Amendment prior to the Closing Date, and (iii) Seller will have no obligation after the Closing Date to obtain the execution of the Sublease Amendments.
          (d) Seller and Buyer hereby agree that (i) Seller’s covenants, representations and warranties as of Closing under Section 5 of the Agreement are hereby qualified and modified to the extent they are inconsistent with the Sublease Disclaimers, and (ii) such changes in Seller’s covenants, representations and warranties as of Closing under Section 5 of the Agreement will not be a failure of the Conditions to Closing under Section 13 of the Agreement, and (iii) Buyer hereby waives any and all claims against Seller and any and all remedies under the Agreement, to the extent they arise from or are caused by the lack of an adequate ordinance from the City that consents to the Sublease Amendments, and the lack of an adequate ordinance shall not be a default by Seller under the Agreement.
     5. Roof Warranty.
          (a) In Buyer’s letter to Seller dated September 9, 2005, signed by Tenel Tayar and addressed to John S. Beauchamp (the “Due Diligence Letter”), Buyer described certain potential problems with the roof on the center building of the Property (the “Roof) and the warranty for that Roof (the “Roof Warranty”), including Buyer’s opinion that the Roof Warranty was never issued properly and that the Roof Warranty may be void due to poor maintenance (collectively, the “Roof Disclaimers”). Seller agrees that after the expiration of the Due Diligence Deadline, Seller will use good faith efforts to request a transfer of the Roof Warranty to Buyer from the roof warrantor, but Seller will not be required to incur any expense or pay any fees (other than the transfer fee as stated in the Roof Warranty) to have the Roof Warranty transferred to Buyer, all of which shall be the Buyer’s expense.

3


 

          (b) At the Closing, Section 1(b) of the Bill of Sale will expressly include all rights, title and interest of Seller under the Roof Warranty, to the extent assignable. Seller and Buyer agree that (i) obtaining the transfer of the Roof Warranty from the roof warrantor will not be a condition to Closing for Buyer or Seller, and (ii) Seller will not be in default under the Agreement if Seller does not obtain the transfer of the Roof Warranty from the roof warrantor as of the Closing Date, and (iii) after the Closing Date, Seller will have the right, but no obligation, to obtain the transfer of the Roof Warranty from the roof warrantor.
          (c) In the event that Seller has not obtained a transfer of the Roof Warranty on or before Closing, then Seller agrees to cause the Title Company to hold in escrow from the Purchase Price proceeds due Seller at Closing in an amount equal to $50,000.00 (the “Escrowed Funds”). Seller and Buyer agree to enter into an Escrow Agreement with Title Company at Closing substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit “C”, which Escrow Agreement shall govern the terms and conditions concerning any disbursements of the Escrowed Funds, but which Escrow Agreement at a minimum shall provide (i) in the event that Seller delivers a transfer of the Roof Warranty to Buyer within 180 days after the Closing Date (the “Roof Warranty Deadline”), the Escrowed Funds shall be immediately released to Seller, and (ii) in the event that Seller is unable to obtain the transfer of the Roof Warranty to Buyer on or before the Roof Warranty Deadline, Title Company shall immediately release to Buyer the lesser of (A) the Escrowed Funds, or (B) the amount bid by a roofing contractor selected by Seller, to apply a GAF Topcoat Elastomeric liquid membrane coating on the Roof, and Title Company shall immediately release to Seller the balance (if any) of the Escrowed Funds.
          (d) Subject to Seller’s obligations contained in this Paragraph 5, Buyer acknowledges and agrees that Seller has made no representations or warranties to Buyer about the condition of the Roof or the Roof Warranty. Seller and Buyer hereby agree that (i) Seller’s covenants, representations and warranties as of Closing under Section 5 of the Agreement are hereby qualified and modified to the extent they are inconsistent with the Roof Disclaimers, and (ii) such changes in Seller’s covenants, representations and warranties as of Closing under Section 5 of the Agreement will not be a failure of the Conditions to Closing under Section 13 of the Agreement, and (iii) Buyer hereby waives any and all claims against Seller and any and all remedies under the Agreement, to the extent they arise from or are caused by the inadequacies in the Roof or the Roof Warranty.
     6. Drainage Encroachments.
          (a) As indicated on the Survey delivered to Buyer and in Buyer’s Due Diligence Letter, and as Seller has previously informed Buyer, an elevator and certain other Improvements on the Land encroach into that certain Variable Width Drainage Easement located on the Land, as shown on the Survey (the “Encroachments”). Pursuant to Section 5(a) of the Agreement, Seller hereby discloses to Buyer in writing the foregoing Encroachments and any possible lack of City approval thereof (the “Encroachment Disclaimers”). Buyer acknowledges and agrees that Seller has made no representations or warranties to Buyer about the Encroachments or the effect of any lack of City approval of the Encroachments.
          (b) Seller and Buyer hereby agree that (i) Seller’s covenants, representations and warranties as of Closing under Section 5 of the Agreement are hereby qualified and modified

4


 

to the extent they are inconsistent with the Encroachment Disclaimers, and (ii) such changes in Seller’s covenants, representations and warranties as of Closing under Section 5 of the Agreement will not be a failure of the Conditions to Closing under Section 13 of the Agreement, and (iii) Buyer hereby waives any and all claims against Seller and any and all remedies under the Agreement, to the extent they arise from or are caused by the Encroachments or any lack of City approval of the Encroachments, and any lack of City approval shall not be a default by Seller under the Agreement.
     7. Elevator Repairs.
          (a) As indicated in Buyer’s Due Diligence Letter, Buyer described certain potential repairs needed for certain elevators located on the Property (“Elevator Conditions”), which Seller has elected not to perform (the “Elevator Disclaimers”).
          (b) Seller and Buyer hereby agree that (i) Seller’s covenants, representations and warranties as of Closing under Section 5 of the Agreement are hereby qualified and modified to the extent they are inconsistent with the Elevator Disclaimers, and (ii) such changes in Seller’s covenants, representations and warranties as of Closing under Section 5 of the Agreement will not be a failure of the Conditions to Closing under Section 13 of the Agreement, and (iii) Buyer hereby waives any and all claims against Seller and any and all remedies under the Agreement, to the extent they arise from or are caused by the Elevator Conditions or the lack of repair thereof.
     8. Due Diligence Deadline. The Due Diligence Deadline under the Agreement expires at 5:00 PM San Antonio Time, on September 19, 2005. In consideration for the execution of this Second Amendment by Seller, Buyer has agreed that (a) Buyer will not send a Termination Notice under Section 7(a) of the Agreement, (b) Buyer shall be deemed to be completely satisfied with the Property in all respects, as provided in Section 7(a), subject only to performance of Seller’s additional obligations under this Second Amendment, and (c) the Title Company is hereby directed to immediately remit the $100,000.00 Option Fee to Seller. In consideration for Buyer’s execution of this Second Amendment and Buyer’s waivers and agreements hereunder, Seller acknowledges and agrees that Buyer shall receive a credit to the Purchase Price in the amount of $47,000.00 at Closing.
     9. Ratification. In all other respects, the Agreement shall continue in full force and effect, unmodified except to the extent provided herein, and Seller and Buyer hereby RATIFY and AFFIRM the same. In the event of a conflict between the terms of this Second Amendment and the terms of the Agreement, the terms of this Second Amendment shall control.
     10. Counterparts and Signatures. This Second Amendment may be executed and delivered in one or more counterparts. The parties further agree that facsimile or electronic signatures shall be treated as original signatures for all purposes, and that neither shall raise the use of a fax, email or other electronically transmitted copy as a defense to this Second Amendment.

  Re:   Letter Agreements by and between Hard Rock Café International (S.A.), Inc. and Hixon Development Company regarding parking and signage
Dear Mr. Tayar:
As you know, pursuant to the terms of a certain Purchase and Sale Agreement dated August 24,2005 (the “Agreement”), Midland Real Estate Company, L.P. (“MRE”) is selling to [AmREIT to provide the name of the entity that will take title to the property] (“AmREIT”) that certain retail property known as The South Bank in San Antonio, Texas (the “Retail Project”), and in connection with the sale, MRE will assign to AmREIT its rights under the retail leases of the Retail Project, including the lease with Hard Rock Café International (S.A.), Inc. (“Hard Rock”), as such lease has been amended and assigned through the date hereof (the “Hard Rock Lease”).
Boulder Creek Company, L.P. (“Boulder”), an affiliate of MRE, owns the property to the south of the Retail Project known as 303 E. Commerce St., San Antonio, Bexar County, Texas (“Property”), which is currently being operated as a parking lot. Hard Rock and Hixon Development Company (the assumed name of Boulder Creek Company, the predecessor of Boulder) entered into certain letter agreements dated November 22,1993, and January 25, 1995, copies of which are attached hereto (the “Parking Agreements”), concerning certain rights in favor of Hard Rock with respect to the Property.
Boulder acknowledges and agrees that Boulder is a party to the Parking Agreements as the owner of the Property. Boulder and MRE both acknowledge and agree that (i) the Parking Agreements are specifically excluded from the assignment to and assumption by AmREIT of the Hard Rock Lease and (ii) the obligations of Hixon Development Company set forth in the Letter Agreements shall remain the obligations of Boulder, notwithstanding the purchase of the Retail Project by AmREIT and the consummation of the transaction provided for in the Agreement.
As an inducement for AmREIT to purchase the Retail Project from MRE, Boulder hereby agrees to indemnify AmREIT from any losses suffered by AmREIT as a result of Boulder’s default in performing its obligations under the Parking Agreements, as such

 


 

Parking Agreements may be amended from time to time. AmREIT agrees to notify Boulder promptly if the Hard Rock Lease is terminated for any reason.
The provisions of this letter shall survive Closing (as defined in the Agreement).
If you have any questions, please call me at (210)  ###-###-####.

EXHIBIT “C”
ESCROW AGREEMENT
     This ESCROW AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made effective the ___day of         , 2005 (the “Closing Date”), by and among AmREIT REALTY INVESTMENT CORPORATION (the “Buyer”). MIDLAND REAL ESTATE COMPANY, L.P. (the “Seller”) and CHICAGO TITLE INSURANCE COMPANY (the “Escrow Agent”).
RECITALS
A. Pursuant to that certain Purchase and Sale Agreement between Buyer and Seller dated August 24, 2005, as amended by (i) the First Amendment to Purchase and Sale Agreement dated September 13, 2005, and (ii) Second Amendment to Purchase and Sale Agreement dated September 19, 2005 (the “Second Amendment”) (as amended, the “Contract”), Seller and Buyer are closing the sale of the “Property” (as defined in the Contract), commonly known as The South Bank, located in San Antonio, Bexar County, Texas. Escrow Agent has acted as the named escrow agent in the Contract.
B. Pursuant to the terms of the Contract and as an inducement for Buyer to close the purchase of the Property, the parties have executed this Agreement concerning the Roof Warranty (as hereinafter defined).
AGREEMENTS
     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing Recitals, the covenants contained herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Seller, Buyer, and Escrow Agent agree as follows:
     1. Defined Terms. The foregoing Recitals and any defined terms therein are hereby incorporated by reference.
     2. Escrowed Funds. As of the Closing Date and pursuant to the Second Amendment, Seller and Buyer have delivered to Escrow Agent out of the sales proceeds of the Property the sum of Fifty Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($50,000.00) (the “Escrowed Funds”), receipt of which Escrowed Funds by Escrow Agent is hereby acknowledged. Escrow Agent hereby agrees to act as escrow agent under this Agreement and to hold and disburse the Escrowed Funds in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Escrow Agent shall invest the Escrowed Funds with a federally insured institution selected by Seller and approved by Buyer, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld. All interest earned on such funds shall become part of the Escrowed Funds and shall be reported as interest earned by the party to whom the majority of the Escrowed Funds are disbursed.
     3. Roof Warranty. In Buyer’s letter to Seller dated September 9, 2005, signed by Tenel Tayar and addressed to John S. Beauchamp (the “Due Diligence Letter”), Buyer described certain potential problems with the roof on the center building of the Property (the “Roof”) and the warranty for that Roof (the “Roof Warranty”), including Buyer’s opinion that Roof Warranty

1


 

was never issued properly and that the Roof Warranty may be void due to poor maintenance (collectively, the “Roof Disclaimers”). As of the date of this Agreement, Seller has not obtained a transfer of the Roof Warranty to Buyer (the “Roof Warranty Transfer”) from the company presently obligated under the terms of the Roof Warranty (the “Roof Warrantor”). Seller and Buyer agree that Seller will have the right, but no obligation, to continue its efforts to obtain the Roof Warranty Transfer from the Roof Warrantor after the Closing Date.
     4. Disbursement of Escrowed Funds.
          (a) In the event that Seller obtains the Roof Warranty Transfer for Buyer on or before                 , 2006 (the “Roof Warranty Deadline)” (which will be the first business day that is 180 days after the Closing Date), then Seller will provide the original thereof to Buyer and a copy to Escrow Agent, along with a disbursal request for the Escrowed Funds (a “Disbursal Request”), and Escrow Agent shall provide a copy of the Disbursal Request to Buyer within two (2) business days following Escrow Agent’s receipt of same. Ten (10) days after the date that the Disbursal Request is delivered by the Escrow Agent to Buyer, the Escrow Agent shall release all of the Escrowed Funds to Seller, subject to Section 8 below.
          (b) In the event that Seller has not obtained the Roof Warranty Transfer for Buyer on or before the Roof Warranty Deadline, then at any time or times thereafter, Buyer may submit a disbursal request (another “Disbursal Request”) for disbursement out of the Escrowed Funds of an amount equal to the lesser of (A) the Escrowed Funds, or (B)          (which will be the amount bid by a roofing contractor selected by Seller, to apply a GAP Topcoat Elastomeric liquid membrane coating on the Roof), in which event Escrow Agent shall provide a copy of that Disbursal Request to Seller within two (2) business days following Escrow Agent’s receipt of same. Ten (10) days after the date that the Disbursal Request is delivered by the Escrow Agent to Seller, the Escrow Agent shall, subject to Section 8 below, (i) disburse to Buyer the amount of the Escrowed Funds owed pursuant to the preceding sentence and requested in the Disbursal Request and (ii) disburse to Seller the balance (if any) of the Escrowed Funds.
          (c) In the event that Seller did not obtain the Roof Warranty Transfer for Buyer on or before the Roof Warranty Deadline, but Seller obtains the Roof Warranty Transfer before Buyer has submitted a Disbursal Request under Section 4(b) above, then Seller will provide a copy of the Roof Warranty Transfer to Buyer and Escrow Agent, along with a disbursal request for the Escrowed Funds (another “Disbursal Request”), and Escrow Agent shall provide a copy of the Disbursal Request to Buyer within two (2) business days following Escrow Agent’s receipt of same. Ten (10) days after the date that the Disbursal Request is delivered by the Escrow Agent to Buyer, the Escrow Agent shall release the Escrowed Funds to Seller, subject to Section 8 below.
     5. No Fee to Escrow Agent. No fee shall be charged by Escrow Agent for its services under this Agreement. Escrow Agent, or any successor escrow agent, may at any time resign by giving written notice to Buyer and Seller and shall be discharged from its duties under this Agreement on the first to occur of (a) the appointment of a successor escrow agent or (b) the expiration of thirty (30) business days after written notice is given. In the event of any resignation, a successor escrow agent shall be appointed by Seller and approved by Buyer, such

2


 

approval not to be unreasonably withheld, and if Seller fails or refuses to appoint a successor escrow agent within fifteen (15) business days after written notice is given by the Escrow Agent, Buyer may appoint a successor escrow agent to be approved by Seller, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld. The successor escrow agent shall execute and deliver an instrument accepting such appointment and it shall, without further acts, be vested with all the estates, properties, rights, powers, and duties of the Escrow Agent under this Agreement as if originally named as escrow agent in this Agreement. Upon delivery of such instrument, the Escrow Agent shall be discharged from any further duties and liability under this Agreement. Seller and Buyer shall have the right at any time upon mutual agreement to substitute a new Escrow Agent by giving written notice thereof to the Escrow Agent then acting.
     6. Escrow Agent.
          (a) Under this Agreement Escrow Agent is a depository only and shall have no liability for the holding, investment, disbursement, application or other disposition of any monies and/or documents received by Escrow Agent other than to comply with the specific instructions, terms and provisions expressly set forth in this Agreement. Escrow Agent shall not be responsible or liable in any manner for the sufficiency, correctness, genuineness or validity of any instrument deposited with it hereunder, or for the form or execution thereof, or for the identity, authority or rights of any person executing or depositing the same, in accepting any monies or documents delivered to Escrow Agent hereunder, it is agreed and understood that the Escrow Agent will not be called upon to construe any contract, instrument or document deposited herewith or submitted hereunder, but only to follow the specific instructions expressly set forth and/or provided for in this Agreement.
          (b) Escrow Agent, as a part of the consideration for its acceptance of this escrow, shall not, in the performance of its duties under this Agreement, be liable for any error of judgment, or for any acts or omissions done by it in good faith, or for any mistake of fact or law, or for any claims, demands, causes of action, losses, liabilities, damages, costs or expenses claimed or suffered by any party to this Agreement, except such as may arise solely and directly as a result of the Escrow Agent’s own negligence or willful misconduct. Escrow Agent is hereby authorized to rely upon, and shall be protected in acting upon, any notice, request, waiver, consent, receipt, certificate, affidavit, authorization, power of attorney, trust agreement or other paper or document believed by Escrow Agent in good faith to be genuine and what it purports to be.
     7. Notices. Any notice, request, demand, or other communication required to be given or to be served upon any party hereunder shall be in writing and delivered to the person to whom the notice is directed, either: (i) in person; (ii) by United States Mail, as a registered or certified item with return receipt requested; (iii) delivered by delivery service (including any express mail or overnight delivery service), or (iv) sent by facsimile, telecopy or e-mail, with the original or a copy sent by regular first class mail. Notices, requests, demands, or other communications delivered by mail shall be deemed given and received when deposited in a post office or other depository under the care or custody of the United States Postal Service, enclosed in a wrapper, addressed properly, with proper postage affixed.

THIRD AMENDMENT TO
PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT
     This THIRD AMENDMENT TO PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT (the “Third Amendment”) is made effective as of September 28, 2005 by and between MIDLAND REAL ESTATE COMPANY, L.P. (“Seller”) and AmREIT REALTY INVESTMENT CORPORATION (“Buyer”).
RECITALS
     A. Agreement. Buyer and Seller entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement dated August 24, 2005 (“Original Agreement”), for the purchase and sale of the Land and Improvements in the City of San Antonio, Bexar County, Texas, which, together with the other rights and appurtenances, are described and defined in the Agreement as the “Property.” The Property is commonly known as The South Bank.
     B. First Amendment. The Original Agreement was amended by Seller and Buyer on September 13, 2005 to extend the Due Diligence Deadline (“First Amendment”).
     C. Second Amendment. The Original Agreement was further amended on September 19, 2005 to add and modify certain terms and provisions to the Original Agreement (“Second Amendment”).
     D. Third Amendment. Buyer has requested that Seller accommodate Buyer’s request for an early Closing, Buyer and Seller desire and agree to further amend the Original Agreement as provided below, and this Third Amendment is made to evidence such amendment. As used in this Third Amendment, the term “Agreement” shall mean the Original Agreement as modified by the First Amendment and the Second Amendment.
AGREEMENTS
     NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Buyer and Seller hereby agree and amend the Agreement as follows:
     1. Terms. Any capitalized terms used in this Third Amendment will have the same meaning given them in the Agreement, unless specifically defined differently herein.
     2. Closing Date. The “Closing Date”, as defined in Section 14 of the Agreement, shall be revised to mean September 30, 2005.
     3. Tenant Estoppel Certificates. Buyer acknowledges that Seller has delivered to Buyer and Buyer has received, accepted and approved an executed Tenant Estoppel Certificate from each of the Major Tenants, as required by Section 12 of the Agreement. Seller agrees to continue to use commercially reasonably efforts (without any obligation on Seller’s part to expend any funds) to obtain a Tenant Estoppel Certificate from the remaining Tenants prior to the Closing Date (as such date is revised herein); provided, however, in the event that Seller is unable to obtain a Tenant Estoppel Certificate from any of the remaining Tenants prior to the

 


 

Closing Date, then notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 12 of the Agreement or otherwise, Seller and Buyer agree that Seller shall have no obligation to provide a Landlord Estoppel Certificate with respect to any Leases for which a Tenant Estoppel Certificate has not been obtained, and Seller will not provide any Landlord Estoppel Certificates to Buyer at the Closing. Buyer hereby waives any and all claims against Seller and any and all remedies under the Agreement, to the extent they arise from or are caused by (i) the failure of Landlord to deliver any of the outstanding Tenant Estoppel Certificates to Buyer or (ii) the failure of Landlord to deliver a Landlord Estoppel Certificate for any of the Leases.
     4. Assignment of Riverwalk Lease. Seller and Buyer acknowledge and agree that pursuant to Section 10.2 of the Riverwalk Lease, Seller, as the lessee under the Riverwalk Lease, must notify the City of San Antonio (the “City”) in writing at least 30 days prior to the date of the intended assignment of the Riverwalk Lease to a purchaser of the Property (the “30 Day Notice”). Seller delivered the 30 Day Notice to the City on September 20, 2005, a copy of which was delivered to and approved by Buyer. Notwithstanding the required 30 Day Notice, Buyer has requested that Seller agree to consummate the sale and purchase of the Property by the revised Closing Date described above. As consideration for Seller’s agreement to close early, Buyer hereby waives any and all claims against Seller and any and all remedies under the Agreement, to the extent they arise from or are caused by the Closing occurring prior to the passage of the required 30 days under the Riverwalk Lease and Buyer hereby agrees to indemnify and hold Seller harmless from any and all claims, costs, liabilities, damages or expenses, including without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, accruing or arising out of or under the Riverwalk Lease from Seller’s transfer of the Property or assignment of the Riverwalk Lease prior to October 20, 2005, or from the fact that the 30 Day Notice to the City did not name AmREIT Riverwalk, L.P., as the purchaser of the Property.
     5. Hear Music Credit. Section 15(c)(iii)(A), is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:
“(A) $53,710.21 (the “Hear Music Credit”) to provide supplemental cash flow until the estimated time that Starbuck’s makes it’s first rent payment under the Hear Music Lease. In the event Starbuck’s opens for business under the Hear Music Lease on or after January 5, 2006, Buyer shall keep the entire Hear Music Credit. In the event Starbuck’s opens for business under the Hear Music Lease before January 5, 2006, Buyer shall immediately return a prorated portion of the Hear Music Credit to Seller equal to $625.00 for each day that Hear Music is open prior to January 5, 2006. In no event will the Hear Music Credit exceed the amount stated above, regardless of when Starbuck’s makes it’s first rent payment.”
     6. Starbucks Credit. Section 15(c)(iii)(B), is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:
“(B) $18,679.05 (the “Starbuck’s Credit”) to provide supplemental cash flow while Buyer attempts to locate a replacement tenant for

 


 

the Original Starbuck’s Space. This amount is an estimate of the Rent that would be due under the Original Starbuck’s Lease for a period of six months, commencing on the Closing Date, net of any Rent actually received. In the event Starbuck’s vacates the Original Starbuck’s Space on or before February 4, 2006, Buyer shall keep the entire Starbuck’s Credit. In the event Starbuck’s vacates the Original Starbuck’s Space after February 4, 2006, Buyer shall immediately return a prorated portion of the Starbuck’s Credit to Seller equal to $292.00 for each day that Starbuck’s continues to occupy the Original Starbuck’s Space after February 4, 2006. The parties agree that the Starbuck’s Credit is capped at the amount stated above, regardless of when Starbuck’s actually vacates the Original Starbuck’s Space.”
     7. Sublease Amendments. So long as prior to Closing Seller sends a letter requesting that each of the Patio Tenants execute a Sublease Amendment, in the form attached to the Second Amendment, Seller shall be deemed to have complied in full with its obligations pursuant to Section 4(c) of the Second Amendment.
     8. Assignment of Purchase and Sale Agreement. Buyer has notified Seller of its intent to assign the Agreement to AmREIT Riverwalk, L.P. at Closing pursuant to an Assignment of Purchase and Sale Agreement, a draft of which has been delivered to and approved by Seller. Seller acknowledges that the required five day notice period in Section 22 of the Agreement is hereby waived by Seller and Seller waives any and all rights of Seller to object to such assignment based on Buyer’s failure to give a five day notice of such assignment prior to Closing.
     9. Ratification. In all other respects, the Agreement shall continue in full force and effect, unmodified except to the extent provided herein, and Seller and Buyer hereby RATIFY and AFFIRM the same. In the event of a conflict between the terms of this Third Amendment and the terms of the Agreement, the terms of this Third Amendment shall control.
     10. Counterparts and Signatures. This Third Amendment may be executed and delivered in one or more counterparts. The parties further agree that facsimile or electronic signatures shall be treated as original signatures for all purposes, and that neither shall raise the use of a fax, email or other electronically transmitted copy as a defense to this Second Amendment.
