For purposes hereof, the Loan Agreement, the Note, the Deed of Trust, and the Assignment, as same may have been amended, and all other documents evidencing or securing the Loan, as same may have been amended, are referred to as the “Loan Documents”

 

1.5          Permitted Exceptions. The Property shall be conveyed subject to the Condominium Documents, the Loan Documents, and subject to the matters that are, or are deemed to be, Permitted Exceptions pursuant to Article II hereof (herein referred to collectively as the “Permitted Exceptions”).

 

1.6          Purchase Price. The purchase price for the Property shall be Twenty Five Million Four Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($25,400,000.00) (“Purchase Price”).

 

1.7          Payment of Purchase Price. Seller and Purchaser agree that the Purchase Price shall be paid as follows:

 

(a)           A portion of the Purchase Price equal to Five Million Eighty Thousand Dollars ($5,080,000) (the “Cash Payment”) shall be paid by Purchaser in immediately available funds at Closing, it being agreed that the Cash Payment shall be delivered to Lender and applied towards payment of the Loan;

 

(b)           The balance of the Purchase Price shall be paid pursuant to a financing arrangement (“Purchase-Money Financing”) agreed upon by Seller and Purchaser and approved by Lender during the Inspection Period (as hereinafter defined), it being agreed that the liens and security interests created by and set forth in the Loan Documents shall continue to encumber the Property after Closing.

Time is of the essence for the delivery of Earnest Money under this Agreement. After the expiration of the Inspection Period, the Earnest Money shall become non-refundable to Purchaser unless otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement.

 

1.9           Independent Contract Consideration. Upon the Effective Date, Purchaser shall deliver to Seller a check in the amount of Fifty Dollars ($50) (the “Independent Contract Consideration”), which amount Seller and Purchaser hereby acknowledge and agree has been bargained for and agreed to as consideration for Seller’s execution and delivery of this Agreement. The Independent Contract Consideration is in addition to and independent of any other consideration or payment provided for in this Agreement, and is nonrefundable in all events.

 

ARTICLE II

 

TITLE REVIEW

 

2.1           Title Commitment. As soon after the Effective Date as reasonably practicable through the use of good faith efforts by Seller, Seller shall cause the Title Company to deliver to Purchaser, at Seller’s expense, (a) a title commitment (“Commitment”) for an owner’s policy of title insurance, on the standard form promulgated by the Texas State Board of Insurance, issued by the Title Company in the amount of the Purchase Price, and (b) copies of all instruments referenced in Schedule B and Schedule C of the Commitment (the “Title Exceptions”).

 

2.2           Review of Commitment. Purchaser shall have ten (10) days (the “Title Review Period”) after the receipt of the Commitment and the Title Exceptions to notify Seller in writing of such objections as Purchaser may have to anything contained in the Commitment; provided, however, that Purchaser shall not have the right to object to any Permitted Exceptions described in Section 2.4 below. If Purchaser fails to object in writing to any item contained in the Commitment during the Title Review Period, Purchaser shall be deemed to have waived its right to object to such item, and such item shall thereafter be deemed a Permitted Exception. In the event that Purchaser objects to any item contained in the Commitment within the Title Review Period (such items being herein referred to as “Title Defects”), Seller shall notify Purchaser in writing within five (5) days following the date of Purchaser’s notice of such Title Defects (the “Cure Period”) that either (a) the Title Defects have been, or will be at or prior to Closing, removed from the Commitment, or (b) Seller has failed to arrange to have the Title Defects removed.

 

2.3           Failure to Cure Title Defects. If upon the expiration of the Cure Period Seller has not notified Purchaser that Seller has arranged to have the Title Defects removed, then Purchaser may elect (which election must be made in writing within five (5) days following expiration of the Cure Period) either: (a) to terminate this Agreement, in which event the Earnest Money shall be returned to Purchaser

 

3



 

as Purchaser’s sole remedy hereunder; or (b) to take title as it then is. If Purchaser does not, within five (5) days after the expiration of the Cure Period, send written notice to Seller of its election to terminate this Agreement pursuant to clause (a) of the preceding sentence, then: (x) Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected to take title as it then is without any reduction in the Purchase Price; (y) all Title Defects not removed from the Commitment will thenceforth be deemed Permitted Exceptions; and (z) this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. Anything to the contrary in this Agreement notwithstanding, Seller shall have no affirmative obligation hereunder to expend any funds or incur any liabilities in order to cause any matters shown in the Commitment to be removed, cured or insured over, except that Seller shall pay or discharge any lien or encumbrance arising after the date hereof and voluntarily created or assumed by Seller and not created by or resulting from the acts of Purchaser or other parties not related to Seller. If the Commitment (or any subsequent revision thereof) discloses exceptions other than the Permitted Exceptions, and other than those which Seller has agreed to insure against, pay or discharge, then unless Purchaser agrees to accept title as it then is without reduction of the Purchase Price, Seller may, at its option, terminate this Agreement, in which event the Earnest Money shall be returned to Purchaser as Purchaser’s sole remedy under this Agreement.

 

2.4           Other Permitted Exceptions. In addition to the matters shown in the Commitment which become Permitted Exceptions pursuant to the Section 2.2 or 2.3 above, the following shall also be deemed to be Permitted Exceptions: (a) the Condominium Documents; (b) the liens and security interests created by the Deed of Trust, the Assignment and any other Loan Documents; (c) the liens and security interests created by the documents evidencing and securing the Purchase Money Financing; (d) taxes and assessments for the year in which Closing occurs; (d) liens and encumbrances arising after the date hereof to which Purchaser consents in writing; and (e) any liens or encumbrances of a definite or ascertainable amount, provided that Seller causes such liens or encumbrances to be insured around such that same do not appear as an exception in the owner’s title insurance policy issued to Purchaser pursuant to the Commitment.

 

2.5           Owner Title Policy. Subject to the provisions of Section 2.3, promptly after the Closing Date Seller shall cause the Title Company to issue an owner’s title insurance policy at Seller’s cost insuring fee simple title in Purchaser as of the Closing Date, in accordance with the Commitment, subject only to the Permitted Exceptions; provided, however, that Seller shall have no obligation to pay anything other than the basic premium for such title insurance policy. If Purchaser desires to obtain a modification of the “survey exception” or other modification or endorsement, same shall be at the sole expense of Purchaser.

 

2.6           Expiration of Inspection Period. It is the intent of the parties that the right granted to Purchaser in Section 2.3(a) to terminate this Agreement shall expire upon the expiration of the Inspection Period, notwithstanding that the Title Review Period, the Cure Period or any election period may extend beyond the expiration of the Inspection Period. Accordingly, notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, if Purchaser has not terminated this Agreement pursuant to Section 2.3(a) prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period, then Purchaser shall no longer have any right to terminate this Agreement under Section 2.3(a), and in such event Purchaser shall be bound to accept title to the Property under the conditions specified in Sections 2.3(x), 2.3(y) and 2.3(z) above.

 

2.7           New Title Defects. In the event that, after the expiration of the Inspection Period and prior to Closing, a revision of the Commitment reveals an adverse matter objectionable to Purchaser that was not disclosed to Purchaser prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period and is not a Permitted Exception (a “New Title Defect”), Purchaser shall have five (5) days after such matter is disclosed to Purchaser to send written notice to Seller of such New Title Defect (it being agreed that if Purchaser fails to object to the New Title Defect within such five (5) day period, then such New Title Defect shall thereafter be deemed a Permitted Exception). Seller shall notify Purchaser in writing within five (5) days

 

4



 

following the date of Purchaser’s notice of such New Title Defect (the “New Title Defect Cure Period”) that either (a) the New Title Defect has been, or will be at or prior to Closing, removed from the Commitment, or (b) Seller has failed to arrange to have the New Title Defect removed. If, upon the expiration of the New Title Defect Cure Period, Seller has not notified Purchaser that Seller has arranged to have the New Title Defect removed, then Purchaser may elect (which election must be made in writing within five (5) days following expiration of the New Title Defect Cure Period) either: (i) to terminate this Agreement as Purchaser’s sole remedy hereunder (in which event the Earnest Money shall be returned to Purchaser); or (ii) to take title as it then is. If Purchaser does not, within five (5) days after the expiration of the New Title Defect Cure Period, send written notice to Seller of its election to terminate this Agreement pursuant to clause (i) of the preceding sentence, then (x) Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected to take title as it then is without any reduction in the Purchase Price; (y) the New Title Defect will thenceforth be deemed a Permitted Exception; and (z) this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

 

2.8           Amendment to Declaration. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Seller and Purchaser agree that prior to or at Closing Seller shall use reasonable efforts to cause to be executed and recorded in the Real Property Records of Dallas County, Texas, a Third Amendment to Residential Condominium Declaration for M Central Residences, a Condominium (the “Third Amendment to Declaration”) in substantially the form of Exhibit F attached hereto. It is acknowledged by the parties that the Third Amendment to Declaration requires certain approvals (including specifically, without limitation, approval by the Lender) and that there is no assurance that such approvals will be obtained.

 

ARTICLE III

 

INSPECTION PERIOD

 

3.1           Property Documents. As soon after the Effective Date as reasonably practicable through the use of good faith efforts by Seller, Seller shall deliver or make available to Purchaser at the Property or at Seller’s office, to the extent in Seller’s possession, the documents described on Exhibit B attached hereto and made a part hereof for all purposes (the “Property Documents”). Purchaser shall, if requested by Seller, execute instruments acknowledging receipt of the Property Documents or any other document delivered or made available to Purchaser in connection with the transaction contemplated hereby. During the Inspection Period (as hereinafter defined), Purchaser may inspect the Property Documents during normal business hours and may photocopy same at Purchaser’s expense. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, Seller shall not be obligated to deliver to Purchaser any report described in Exhibit B if the terms of such report restrict Seller from doing so. With respect to any environmental report or other report described in Exhibit B which Seller delivers to Purchaser, Purchaser understands and agrees that (a) such report shall be delivered to Purchaser for general information purposes only, (b) Purchaser shall not have any right to rely on any report received from Seller and will not rely thereon, but rather will rely on inspections and reports performed by or on behalf of Purchaser, and (c) Seller shall have absolutely no liability for any inaccuracy in or omission from any report which it delivers to Purchaser.

 

3.2           Right of Inspection. During the period beginning on the Effective Date and ending at 5 p.m., Dallas, Texas time, on the thirtieth (30th) day thereafter (the “Inspection Period”), Purchaser and its representatives (including Purchaser’s architects, engineers and consultants) shall have the right to examine the Property Documents and to make a physical inspection of the Property (including the right to conduct such soil, engineering, environmental, hazardous or toxic material, noise pollution, seismic or other physical test, study or investigation as Purchaser may desire, provided, however, that Purchaser must obtain Seller’s consent to any physically invasive testing). In this regard, Purchaser and its authorized agents and representatives shall be entitled to enter upon the Property at all reasonable times

 

5



 

during the Inspection Period, upon reasonable prior oral or written notice to Seller and while accompanied by a representative of Seller, subject to the rights of tenants of the Property. All activities by Purchaser or its representatives during the Inspection Period shall be coordinated through Seller’s designated representative, Sam Gillespie. Seller shall have the right to have a representative present during any meetings with tenants of the Property or with representatives of the hotel that is located in the Hotel Unit. All inspections shall occur at reasonable times agreed upon by Seller and Purchaser and shall be conducted so as not to unreasonably interfere with use of the Property or any business conducted within the Hotel Unit or elsewhere within the condominium regime of which the Property is a part. In no event shall Purchaser or its representatives perform any off-site testing. Purchaser will use its best efforts to minimize any disruption or interference caused by any such testing and will repair all damage caused by such testing. Before and during Purchaser’s inspections, Purchaser and each Purchaser representative conducting any Purchaser inspection shall maintain workers’ compensation insurance in accordance with applicable law, and Purchaser, or the applicable Purchaser representative conducting any Purchaser inspection, shall maintain (a) commercial general liability insurance with limits of at least Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000) for bodily or personal injury or death, (b) property damage insurance in the amount of at least One Million Dollars ($1,000,000), and (c) contractual liability insurance. Purchaser shall deliver to Seller evidence of such workers’ compensation insurance and a certificate evidencing the commercial general liability, property damage and contractual liability insurance before conducting any Purchaser inspection on the Property. Each such insurance policy shall be written by a reputable insurance company having a rating of at least “A+:VII” by Best’s Rating Guide (or a comparable rating by a successor rating service), and shall otherwise be subject to Seller’s prior approval. Such insurance policies shall name as additional insureds Seller, Seller’s lender and such other parties holding insurable interests as Seller may designate. Purchaser shall indemnify, defend and hold Seller and the Property harmless of and from any and all losses, liabilities, costs, expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of court), damages, liens, claims (including, without limitation, mechanics’ or materialmen’s liens or claims of liens), actions and causes of actions arising from or relating to Purchaser’s (or Purchaser’s agents, employees or representatives) entering upon the Property to test, study, investigate or inspect the same or any part thereof, whether pursuant to this Section 3.2 or otherwise, except to the extent arising solely from the negligence of Seller. The foregoing indemnity of Purchaser shall expressly survive the Closing or the earlier termination of this Agreement.

 

3.3           Right of Termination Seller agrees that in the event Purchaser determines, in its sole discretion, that the Property is not suitable for its purposes, then Purchaser shall have the right (“Purchaser’s Termination Right”) to terminate this Agreement. Purchaser’s Termination Right shall be exercisable only by sending written notice of termination (the “Notice of Termination”) to Seller prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period. In the event that Purchaser timely exercises Purchaser’s Termination Right, this Agreement shall terminate and the Earnest Money shall be returned to Purchaser. If Purchaser fails to send Seller a Notice of Termination prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period, Purchaser shall be deemed to have approved the Property Documents and the Property in all respects and Purchaser’s Termination Right shall automatically and irrevocably expire.

 

3.4           Payment of Certain Expenses Upon Termination. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, in the event that Purchaser exercises Purchaser’s Termination Right, Purchaser shall be responsible for payment of any escrow costs charged by the Title Company in connection with this Agreement.

4.1                               Time and Place. The consummation of the purchase and sale of the Property (“Closing”) shall take place at the office of the Title Company on a date (the “Closing Date”) mutually agreed upon by the parties, but not later than the fifteenth (15th) day after the expiration of the Inspection Period. At Closing, Seller and Purchaser shall perform the obligations set forth in, respectively, Section 4.2 and Section 4.3 below, the performance of which obligations shall be concurrent conditions.

 

4.2                               Seller’s Obligations at Closing. At Closing, Seller shall:

 

(a)                                  deliver to Purchaser a Special Warranty Deed (the “Deed”) in the form of Exhibit C attached hereto and made a part hereof for all purposes, executed and acknowledged by Seller and in recordable form, it being agreed that the conveyance effected by the Deed shall be subject to the Permitted Exceptions;

 

(b)                                 deliver to Purchaser an affidavit sworn by an officer of Seller in the form of Exhibit D attached hereto and made a part hereof for all purposes (the “FIRPTA Affidavit”), or in such other form as may be prescribed by federal regulations;

 

(c)                                  to the extent that any leases of the Property exist as of the Closing, deliver to Purchaser a letter notifying tenants of the Property of the sale of the Property and the transfer of such tenants’ security deposits to Purchaser (as set forth in Section 4.4(c) below);

 

(d)                                 to the extent agreed upon during the Inspection Period, execute and deliver any documents required to be executed by Seller in connection with the Purchase Money Financing;

 

(e)                                  deliver to the Title Company such documents as the Title Company may reasonably require as to the authority of the person or persons executing documents on behalf of Seller; and

 

(f)                                    deliver to Purchaser possession of the Property, subject to the Permitted Exceptions.

 

4.3                               Purchaser’s Obligations at Closing. At Closing, Purchaser shall:

 

(a)                                  pay to Seller the Cash Payment in immediately available funds, it being agreed that the Earnest Money shall be delivered to Seller at Closing and applied towards payment of the Cash Payment.

 

(b)                                 join with Seller in execution of any tenant notice letters described in Section 4.2(c);

 

(c)                                  to the extent agreed upon during the Inspection Period, execute and deliver any documents required to be executed by Purchaser in connection with the Purchase Money Financing;

7



 

(e)                                  deliver to the Title Company such documents as the Title Company may reasonably require as to the authority of the person or persons executing documents on behalf of Purchaser.

 

4.4                               Prorations. The following adjustments to the Purchase Price paid hereunder shall be made between Seller and Purchaser and shall be prorated (as applicable) on a per diem basis as if Purchaser owned the Property for the entire day on the Closing Date:

 

(a)                                  All real estate taxes and installments of special assessments due and payable with respect to the calendar year of Closing shall be prorated between Seller and Purchaser at Closing. All other installments of special assessments not yet due and payable shall be paid by Purchaser. If at the time of Closing the tax rate or the assessed valuation for the current year has not yet been fixed, taxes shall be prorated based upon the tax rate and the assessed valuation established for the previous tax year; provided, however, that Seller and Purchaser agree that to the extent the actual taxes for the current year differ from the amount so apportioned at Closing, the parties hereto will make all necessary adjustments by appropriate payments between themselves following the Closing, and this provision shall survive Closing.

 

(b)                                 At the Closing, Purchaser shall pay to the Residential Association the monthly assessment allocated to the Units established pursuant to the Declaration, including the proportionate share of the expenses for which the Residential Association is responsible, as set forth in the Declaration (prorated from and including the Closing Date).

 

(c)                                  Any rents and other income from the Property shall be prorated between Seller and Purchaser at Closing based upon such amounts actually collected by Seller as of the Closing Date. Rent which is unpaid or delinquent as of the Closing Date shall not be prorated, but such unpaid or delinquent rent collected after the Closing Date shall be delivered as follows: (i) if Seller collects any unpaid or delinquent rent after the Closing Date, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser any such rent relating to the Closing Date and any period thereafter within fifteen (15) days after the receipt thereof, and (ii) if Purchaser collects any unpaid or delinquent rent after the Closing Date, Purchaser shall deliver to Seller any such rent relating to the period prior to the Closing Date within fifteen (15) days after the receipt thereof. Seller and Purchaser agree that (A) all rent received by Seller after the Closing Date shall be applied first to delinquent rentals, if any, in the order of their maturity, and then to current rentals, and (B) all rent received by Purchaser after the Closing Date shall be applied first to current rentals and then to delinquent rentals, if any, in inverse order of maturity. Purchaser will make a good faith effort after Closing to collect all rents in the usual course of Purchaser’s operation of the Property, but Purchaser will not be obligated to institute any lawsuit or incur any expense to collect delinquent rents. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, Seller shall not be required to prorate any amounts collected by Seller after Closing from former tenants of the Property, it being understood and agreed that Seller may retain all amounts that Seller recovers from such former tenants. Any security deposits shall, at Seller’s option, either be transferred or credited to Purchaser at Closing.

 

(d)                                 Charges under service agreements, utility charges for which Seller is liable, and other operating expenses of the Property shall be prorated between Seller and Purchaser at Closing.

 

(e)                                  Interest in respect of the Loan shall be prorated between Seller and Purchaser at Closing.

 

(f)                                    Refundable cash or other refundable deposits posted with utility companies or other entities in connection with the Property shall, at Seller’s option, either be assigned to Purchaser and

 

8



 

credited to Seller at Closing, or Seller shall be entitled to receive and retain such refundable cash and deposits.

 

(g)                                 To the extent Purchaser receives a benefit for any sums escrowed by Lender, Seller shall receive a credit at Closing in the amount of all such escrowed sums.

 

(h)                                 All prorations described in this Section 4.4 shall be effected by increasing or decreasing, as appropriate, the amount of cash to be paid by Purchaser to Seller at Closing. Except for the proration of taxes described in Section 4.4(a) above, all prorations provided for herein shall be final. The proration of taxes described in Section 4.4(a) above shall be deemed final if no adjustment thereto is requested within one (1) year after Closing.

 

4.5                               Closing Costs. Seller shall pay (a) the fees of any counsel representing it in connection with this transaction; (b) the basic premium for the owner’s policy of title insurance to be issued to Purchaser by the Title Company (specifically excluding the additional premium chargeable for modification of the survey exception or any endorsements, which expense shall be borne by Purchaser); (c) the fees for recording the Deed; and (d) one-half (1/2) of any escrow fee which may be charged by the Title Company. Purchaser shall pay (v) the fees of any counsel representing Purchaser in connection with this transaction; (w) the additional premium chargeable for modification of the survey exception or any endorsements to the owner’s policy of title insurance, if such modification is desired by Purchaser; (x) any transfer or assumption fee and all fees, expenses and charges payable to Lender or Hotel Lender in connection with the transfer of the Property, (y) any transfer tax, documentary stamp tax, sales tax or similar tax which becomes payable by reason of the transfer of the Property or any component thereof; and (z) one-half (1/2) of any escrow fees charged by the Title Company. All other costs and expenses incident to this transaction and the closing thereof shall be paid by the party incurring same.

 

4.6                               Residential Association. After Closing, Seller and Purchaser shall use reasonable efforts to cooperate with each other (a) in causing the members of the board of directors and the officers of the Residential Association (as defined in the Declaration) over which Seller has control to be replaced, and (b) in causing the representative of the Residential Unit (as defined in the Master Declaration) on the board of directors of the Master Association (as defined in the Master Declaration) over which Seller has control to be replaced, in each case consistent with Purchaser’s ownership of the Units and its new standing in the Residential Association.  The books and records maintained by or on behalf of the Residential Association shall continue to be in the possession of the Residential Association. Seller shall use reasonable efforts to cause any other documents, keys and other items used in the operation of the Property to be provided to Purchaser. Seller makes no representations regarding the existence or adequacy of such documents or items for use in management or operation of the Property. The foregoing shall not include the separate books, records, correspondence and other documentation of Seller located at its offices, nor shall it include any computer software or computer programs used by the manager of the Property or Seller in connection with the Property, it being understood and agreed that the foregoing items are not part of the “Property” to be conveyed to Purchaser hereunder. After the Closing, Seller shall have the right to inspect the books and records of the Property to verify that Purchaser is remitting to Seller all amounts to be remitted to Seller according to the terms of this Agreement, and for any other purpose related to Seller’s prior ownership of the Property, and this provision shall survive Closing.

 

4.7                               Preservation of Right to Contest. Seller reserves the right to contest after Closing taxes and assessments with respect to the Property and interest or penalties pertaining thereto, to the extent same are applicable to periods prior to Closing, and Seller shall be entitled to any refunds made with respect to such contested taxes. All taxes imposed because of a change of use or ownership of the Property after or in connection with the Closing shall be for the account of Purchaser, and Purchaser shall indemnify and hold Seller harmless of, from and against any and all costs, damages, expenses, claims, or

liability arising from the imposition of any such taxes. The provisions of this section shall survive the Closing.

 

ARTICLE V

REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES, AND COVENANTS

 

5.1                               Representations and Warranties of Seller. As of the Effective Date, Seller represents and warrants to Purchaser as follows:

 

(a)                                  Seller is duly formed and validly existing under the laws of the State of Texas and is organized and qualified under the laws of the State of Texas to conduct business therein.

 

(b)                                 Seller has no actual knowledge of any legal actions pending or threatened against the Property.

 

(c)                                  Seller is not a “foreign person” as defined in Section 1445 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the Income Tax Regulations thereunder.

 

5.2                               Notice of Breach.

 

(a)                                  To the extent that, before the expiration of the Inspection Period, Purchaser obtains actual knowledge or is deemed to know that Seller’s representations and warranties are inaccurate, untrue or incorrect in any way, such representations and warranties shall be deemed modified to reflect such actual or deemed knowledge as of the end of the Inspection Period. For purposes hereof, Purchaser shall be deemed to know all information set forth in the written materials delivered to Purchaser in respect of the Property.

 

(b)                                 If after the expiration of the Inspection Period but prior to the Closing, Purchaser first obtains actual knowledge that any of the representations or warranties made herein by Seller are untrue, inaccurate or incorrect in any material respect, Purchaser shall give Seller written notice thereof within five (5) days after obtaining such actual knowledge (but, in any event, prior to the Closing). In such event, Seller shall have the right (but not the obligation) to attempt to cure such misrepresentation or breach and shall, at its option, be entitled to a reasonable adjournments of the Closing (not to exceed thirty (30) days) for the purpose of such cure. If Seller elects to attempt to so cure but is unable to so cure any misrepresentation or breach of warranty, then Purchaser, as its sole remedy for any and all such materially untrue, inaccurate or incorrect representations or warranties, shall elect either (i) to waive such misrepresentations or breaches of representations and warranties and consummate the transaction contemplated hereby without any reduction of or credit against the Purchase Price, or (ii) if Purchaser first obtained actual knowledge of such material misrepresentation or breach of warranty after the end of the Inspection Period, to terminate this Agreement in its entirety by written notice given to Seller on the Closing Date, in which event this Agreement shall be terminated, the Earnest Money shall be returned to Purchaser, and thereafter neither party shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder except as provided in any section hereof that by its terms expressly provides that it survives any termination of this Agreement.

 

5.3                               Survival of Representations. It is the intent of Seller and Purchaser that the representations and warranties made by Seller in Section 5.1 above (the “Seller Obligations”) shall survive Closing for a period of one hundred eighty (180) days after the date of Closing. Accordingly, Purchaser and Seller hereby agree that, notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement or any provision of law to the contrary, any action which may be brought under this Agreement by Purchaser against Seller

 

10



 

for breach of any Seller Obligations shall be forever barred unless Purchaser (a) delivers to Seller no later than one hundred eighty (180) days after the date of Closing a written notice of its claim setting forth in reasonable detail the factual basis for such claim and Purchaser’s good faith estimate of its damages arising out of such claim, and (b) files a complaint or petition against Seller alleging such claim in an appropriate state or federal court in Dallas County, Texas, no later than two (2) years after the date of Closing. In no event shall Seller be liable after the date of Closing for its breach of any Seller Obligations if such breach was actually known to Purchaser prior to the completion of Closing. With respect to any matter constituting breach of a Seller Obligation, Purchaser shall first seek any available recovery under any insurance policies, service contracts and Leases prior to seeking recovery from Seller, and Seller shall not be liable to Purchaser if Purchaser’s claim is satisfied from such insurance policies, service contracts or Leases. Seller’s liability for breach of any Seller Obligations shall be limited as follows: (i) Seller shall have liability for breach of Seller Obligations only if the valid claims for all such breaches collectively aggregate more than Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000), in which event the full amount of such claims shall be actionable, and (ii) Seller’s aggregate liability to Purchaser for breaches of the Seller Obligations shall not exceed the amount of Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000)(the “Cap”), it being agreed that in no event shall Seller’s aggregate liability for such breaches exceed the amount of the Cap.

 

5.4                               Covenants of Seller. Seller hereby covenants as follows:

 

(a)                                  Between the Effective Date and the Closing Date, Seller shall maintain, or cause to be maintained, the Property in its present condition, ordinary wear and tear excepted.

 

(b)                                 Between the Effective Date and the Closing Date, Seller shall maintain, or cause to be maintained, all casualty, liability and hazard insurance currently in force with respect to the Property.

 

(c)                                  Between the Effective Date and the Closing Date, Seller shall operate, manage and enter into contracts with respect to the Property (or cause such actions to be done) in the same manner done by Seller prior to the date hereof, maintaining present services and sufficient supplies and equipment for the operation and maintenance of the Property in the same manner as prior to the date hereof; provided, however, that Seller shall not enter into any service contract that cannot be terminated within thirty (30) days notice.

 

(d)                                 A copy of each Lease presented to Seller between the Effective Date and the Closing Date for its approval and execution will be submitted to Purchaser prior to execution by Seller. Purchaser agrees to notify Seller in writing within five (5) business days after its receipt of each such Lease of either its approval or disapproval thereof. In the event Purchaser informs Seller that Purchaser does not approve any such Lease, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, Seller shall have the option to cancel this Agreement by written notice thereof to Purchaser within five (5) business days after Seller’s receipt of written notice of Purchaser’s disapproval of any such Lease, and upon refund and payment of the Earnest Money to Purchaser, neither party shall have any further liability or obligation hereunder. In the event Purchaser fails to notify Seller in writing of its approval or disapproval of any such Lease within the five (5) day time period for such purpose set forth above, such failure shall be deemed the approval by Purchaser of such Lease. At Closing, Purchaser shall reimburse Seller for any tenant inducements or leasing commissions incurred by Seller pursuant to a new Lease approved (or deemed approved) by Purchaser.

 

(e)                                  Seller is currently in compliance with, and shall at all times during the term of this Agreement (including any extension thereof) remain in compliance with, the regulations of the Office of Foreign Asset Control (“OFAC”) of the Department of the Treasury (including those named on OFAC’s Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons List) and any statute, executive order

 

11



 

(including the September 24, 2001, Executive Order Blocking Property and Prohibiting Transactions with Persons Who Commit, Threaten to Commit, or Support Terrorism), or other governmental action relating thereto.

 

5.5                               Actual Knowledge of Seller. All references in this Agreement to the “actual knowledge” of Seller shall refer only to the actual knowledge of the Designated Employee (as hereinafter defined) of the Dallas, Texas office of Seller and shall not be construed to refer to the knowledge of any other officer, agent or employee of Seller or any affiliate of Seller or to impose upon such Designated Employee any duty to investigate the matter to which such actual knowledge, or the absence thereof, pertains. As used herein, the term “Designated Employee” shall refer to Sam Gillespie, an employee of Seller who has responsibility for overseeing the management of the Property, among other assets of Seller.

 

5.6                               Covenants of Purchaser. Purchaser hereby covenants as follows:

 

(a)                                  Purchaser is duly formed and validly existing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its formation and is qualified under the laws of such jurisdiction to conduct business therein.

 

(b)                                 If requested to do so by Seller in writing, at Closing (or upon termination of this Agreement prior to Closing), Purchaser shall deliver to Seller copies of any environmental reports, engineering reports, structural reports or other due diligence materials prepared by third parties obtained by Purchaser with respect to the Property.

 

(c)                                  Purchaser is currently in compliance with, and shall at all times during the term of this Agreement (including any extension thereof) remain in compliance with, the regulations of OFAC and any statute, executive order (including the September 24, 2001, Executive Order Blocking Property and Prohibiting Transactions with Persons Who Commit, Threaten to Commit, or Support Terrorism), or other governmental action relating thereto.

 

(d)                                 Seller will remain the “Declarant” (as defined in the Master Declaration) and the “Residential Declarant” (as defined in the Declaration) after Closing; however, unless and until the Third Amendment to Declaration is duly executed and recorded in the Real Property Records of Dallas County, Texas, Purchaser shall assume and be responsible for the obligation of the Residential Declarant, as set forth in Section 7.5 of the Declaration, to pay any operating expense deficits in respect of the Residential Condominium (as defined in the Declaration) during the Residential Declarant Control Period (as defined in the Declaration).

 

5.7                               Condominium Information Statement. PURCHASER ACKNOWLEDGES RECEIPT OF THE CONDOMINIUM INFORMATION STATEMENT REQUIRED BY THE ACT. SELLER HEREBY RECOMMENDS THAT PURCHASER READ THE CONDOMINIUM INFORMATION STATEMENT BEFORE EXECUTING THIS CONTRACT. Purchaser hereby acknowledges receipt of a copy of the Condominium Documents attached to the Condominium Information Statement. Purchaser agrees to be bound by the provisions of the foregoing documents, as amended from time to time in accordance with the provisions of each document. The budget contained in the Condominium Information Statement has been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and is based upon assumptions that, to the best of Seller’s knowledge and belief, are reasonable. Purchaser acknowledges that such budget does not constitute a representation or warranty on the part of Seller thereof. The provisions of this Section 5.7 shall survive the Closing.

 

12



 

5.8                               Conditions Precedent.

 

(a)                                  It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of Seller and Purchaser under this Agreement that, within ten (10) days after the Effective Date, Seller and Purchaser shall have agreed upon the parking spaces to be listed on Exhibit A-2 attached hereto and the storage spaces to be listed on Exhibit A-3 attached hereto. In the event that Seller and Purchaser agree upon such parking spaces and storage spaces prior to the end of such ten (10) day period, Seller and Purchaser shall enter into an amendment to this Agreement (the “Supplemental Amendment”) evidencing such agreement. If Seller and Purchaser fail to execute the Supplemental Amendment within ten (10) days after the Effective Date, then either Seller or Purchaser may terminate this Agreement by written notice to the other party, in which event the Earnest Money shall be returned to Purchaser.

 

(b)                                 It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of Seller and Purchaser under this Agreement that, prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period, Seller and Purchaser shall have agreed on the structure of the Purchase Money Financing and shall have agreed upon the documents evidencing and securing the Purchase Money Financing (the “Purchase Money Financing Documents”). In the event that Seller and Purchaser agree upon the Purchase Money Financing Documents prior to the end of the Inspection Period, Seller and Purchaser shall enter into an amendment to this Agreement (the “Financing Documents Amendment”) evidencing such agreement. If Seller and Purchaser fail to execute the Financing Documents Amendment prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period, then either Seller or Purchaser may terminate this Agreement by written notice to the other party, in which event the Earnest Money shall be returned to Purchaser.

 

(c)                                  It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of Seller and Purchaser under this Agreement that, prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period, Lender, Hotel Lender and Kimpton shall have given in writing all approvals (the “Required Approvals”) to the transaction that is the subject of this Agreement, to the full extent that such approvals are required pursuant to documents binding upon Seller. Purchaser agrees that it shall, at its own expense, cooperate with Seller in order to supply any information required, and use commercially reasonable efforts to take any actions required of Purchaser, to obtain the Required Approvals. If all Required Approvals have not been obtained prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period, then either Seller or Purchaser may terminate this Agreement by written notice to the other party, in which event the Earnest Money shall be returned to Purchaser.

 

(d)                                 It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of Seller and Purchaser under this Agreement that, prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period, Lender, Hotel Lender and Seller shall have agreed upon intercreditor agreements (the “Intercreditor Agreements”) satisfactory to each such party.

ARTICLE VI

DEFAULT; REMEDIES

 

6.1                               Default of Purchaser. If Purchaser fails to perform its obligations pursuant to this Agreement for any reason except failure by Seller to perform hereunder or the permitted termination hereof by Purchaser or Seller in accordance with the express provisions hereof, and if such failure continues for twenty (20) days after written notice to Purchaser, Seller shall be entitled, as its sole remedy, to terminate this Agreement and recover the Earnest Money as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, in full satisfaction of claims against Purchaser hereunder. Seller and Purchaser agree that Seller’s damages resulting from Purchaser’s default are difficult, if not impossible, to determine and that the Earnest Money is a fair estimate of those damages which has been agreed to in an effort to cause the amount of said damages to be certain. In the event of Purchaser’s default and notwithstanding anything in this Section 6.1 to the contrary, Seller shall have all remedies available at law or in equity in the event Purchaser or any party related to or affiliated with Purchaser is asserting any claims or right to the Property that would otherwise delay or prevent Seller from having clear, indefeasible and marketable title to the Property. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a termination of this Agreement which allows Seller to retain the Earnest Money hereunder, if the total of the Earnest Money and all other deposits made by Purchaser hereunder (collectively, “Deposits”) exceeds fifteen percent (15%) of the Purchase Price, then Seller shall refund to Purchaser that portion of the Deposits, if any, which remains after subtracting from the Deposits the greater of (a) fifteen percent (15%) of the Purchase Price or (b) the amount of actual damages incurred by Seller as a result of the default of Purchaser.

 

6.2                               Default of Seller. If Seller fails to perform its obligations pursuant to this Agreement for any reason except failure by Purchaser to perform hereunder or the permitted termination hereof by Purchaser or Seller in accordance with the express provisions hereof, and if such failure continues for twenty (20) days after written notice to Seller, Purchaser may terminate this Agreement by giving Seller timely written notice of such election prior to or at Closing, in which event Purchaser shall be entitled to either (a) receive the return of the Earnest Money (together with all interest earned thereon), which return shall operate to terminate this Agreement and release Seller from any and all liability hereunder, or (b) enforce specific performance of Seller’s obligation to execute the documents required to convey the Property to Purchaser, it being understood and agreed that the remedy of specific performance shall not be available to enforce any other obligation of Seller hereunder. Purchaser expressly waives its rights to seek damages in the event of Seller’s default hereunder. Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected to terminate this Agreement and receive back the Earnest Money (together with all interest earned thereon) if Purchaser fails to file suit for specific performance against Seller in a court having jurisdiction in the county and state in which the Property is located, on or before thirty (30) days following the date upon which Closing was to have occurred. The remedies set forth in this Section 6.2 shall be the sole and exclusive remedies available to Purchaser for Seller’s failure to close the transaction which is the subject of this Agreement in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.

 

6.3                               Post-Closing Remedies. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 6.1 and Section 6.2 above, in the event that after the termination of this Agreement or after Closing, as the case may be, a party (the “Defaulting Party”) breaches an obligation hereunder which is expressly stated herein to survive the termination of this Agreement or Closing, as the case may be, the Defaulting Party shall be liable to the other party (the “Non-Defaulting Party”) for the direct, actual damages incurred by the Non-Defaulting Party as a direct result of such breach. In no event shall the Non-Defaulting Party be entitled to recover from the Defaulting Party any punitive, consequential or speculative damages.

ARTICLE VII

 

RISK OF LOSS

 

7.1                                 Minor Damage. In the event of loss or damage to the Property or any portion thereof (the “premises in question”) which is not “major” (as hereinafter defined), this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect provided Seller performs any necessary repairs or, at Seller’s option, reduces the cash portion of the Purchase Price in an amount equal to the cost of such repairs, Seller thereby retaining all of Seller’s right, title and interest to any claims and proceeds Seller may have with respect to any casualty insurance policies or condemnation awards relating to the premises in question. In the event that Seller elects to perform repairs upon the Property, Seller shall use reasonable efforts to complete such repairs promptly and the date of Closing shall be extended a reasonable time in order to allow for the completion of such repairs.

 

7.2                                 Major Damage. In the event of a “major” loss or damage, either Seller or Purchaser may terminate this Agreement by written notice to the other party, in which event the Earnest Money shall be returned to Purchaser. If neither Seller nor Purchaser elects to terminate this Agreement within ten (10) days after Seller sends Purchaser written notice of the occurrence of major loss or damage, then Seller and Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected to proceed with Closing, in which event Seller shall, at Seller’s option, either (a) perform any necessary repairs, or (b) assign to Purchaser all of Seller’s right, title and interest to any claims and proceeds Seller may have with respect to any casualty insurance policies or condemnation awards relating to the premises in question. In the event that Seller elects to perform repairs upon the Property, Seller shall use reasonable efforts to complete such repairs promptly and the date of Closing shall be extended a reasonable time in order to allow for the completion of such repairs. Upon Closing, full risk of loss with respect to the Property shall pass to Purchaser. For purposes of Sections 7.1 and 7.2, “major” loss or damage refers to the following: (i) loss or damage to the Property or any portion thereof such that the cost of repairing or restoring the premises in question to a condition substantially identical to that of the premises in question prior to the event of damage would be, in the certified opinion of a mutually acceptable architect, equal to or greater than ten percent (10%) of the Purchase Price; and (ii) any loss due to a condemnation which permanently and materially impairs the current use of the Property.

 

7.3                                 Uniform Vendor and Purchaser Risk Act Not Applicable. It is the express intent of the parties hereto that the provisions of Section 7.1 and Section 7.2 govern the rights of the parties in the event of damage to or condemnation of the Property and that the Uniform Vendor and Purchaser Risk Act (Section 5.007 of the Texas Property Code) not apply to this Agreement.

16



 

OR REMOVAL OF HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES OR OTHER ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS ON THE PROPERTY BE REQUIRED AFTER THE DATE OF CLOSING, SUCH CLEAN-UP, REMOVAL OR REMEDIATION SHALL BE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF AND SHALL BE PERFORMED AT THE SOLE COST AND EXPENSE OF PURCHASER.

THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION 8.2 SHALL SURVIVE THE TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT OR THE CLOSING.

 

8.3                                 Waivers of Deceptive Trade Practices Act. Purchaser acknowledges and agrees, on its own behalf and on behalf of its assigns and successors, that the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices — Consumer Protection Act, Subchapter E of Chapter 17 of the Texas Business and Commerce Code (the “DTPA”), is not applicable to this transaction. Accordingly, Purchaser’s rights and remedies with respect to this transaction, and with respect to all acts or practices of the other, past, present or future, in connection with this transaction, shall be governed by legal principles other than the DTPA. In furtherance thereof, Purchaser agrees as follows:

 

(a)                                  Purchaser represents that it is a business consumer and that it seeks to acquire by purchase or lease the goods or services that are the subject of this Agreement for commercial or business use. Purchaser further represents that it has knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that enable it to evaluate the merits and risks of the business transaction that is the subject of this Agreement. Purchaser also represents that it is not in a significantly disparate bargaining position in relation to Seller.

 

(b)                                 Purchaser represents that it has been represented by legal counsel in seeking or acquiring the goods or services that are the subject of this Agreement and that the transaction contemplated by this Agreement does not involve the purchase or lease of a family residence occupied or to be occupied as the residence of Purchaser.

8.4                                 Effect and Survival of Disclaimers. Seller has informed Purchaser that the compensation to be paid to Seller for the Property has been decreased to take into account that the Property is being sold subject to the provisions of this Article VIII. Seller and Purchaser agree that the provisions of this Article VIII shall survive Closing.

 

ARTICLE IX

 

MISCELLANEOUS

 

9.1                                 Broker. Seller and Purchaser represent each to the other that each has had no dealings with any broker, finder or other party concerning Purchaser’s purchase of the Property except Dunhill Partners, Inc. (“Broker”). If (and only if) the transaction that is the subject of this Agreement is consummated, Seller shall pay a commission (the “Sales Commission”) to Broker equal to two percent (2%) of the Purchase Price, payable as follows: (a) Seller shall pay fifty percent (50%) of the Sales Commission to Broker at Closing, and (b) Seller shall pay the remaining fifty percent (50%) of the Sales Commission to Broker no later than two (2) business days after the Purchase Money Financing has been paid in full. Seller and Purchaser each hereby agree to indemnify and hold the other harmless from all loss, cost, damage or expense (including reasonable attorney’s fees) incurred by the other as a result of any claim arising out of the acts of the indemnifying party (or others on its behalf) for a commission, finder’s fee or similar compensation made by any broker, finder or any party who claims to have dealt with such party except Broker. The foregoing representations and warranties contained in this section shall survive the Closing. The Texas Real Estate License Act requires written notice to Purchaser that it should have an attorney examine an abstract of title to the property being purchased or obtain a title insurance policy. Notice to that effect is, therefore, hereby given to Purchaser.

 

9.2                                 ERISA. Purchaser represents that Purchaser is not an employee benefit plan or a governmental plan or a party in interest of either such a plan, and that the funds being used to acquire the Property are not plan assets or subject to state laws regulating investments of and fiduciary obligations with respect to a governmental plan. As used herein, the terms “employee benefit plan”, “party in interest”, “plan assets” and “governmental plan” shall have the respective meanings assigned to such terms in ERISA, and the term “ERISA” shall mean the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, and the regulations promulgated in connection therewith. Upon the request of Seller, Purchaser shall deliver to Seller at Closing a certificate stating that the foregoing representations are true and correct and containing an agreement by Purchaser to indemnify Seller against any inaccuracy in such representations. The foregoing covenants shall survive Closing.

 

9.3                                 Assignability. Purchaser may not assign its rights under this Agreement to anyone other than a Permitted Assignee (as hereinafter defined) without first obtaining (a) Seller’s written approval, which may be given or withheld in Seller’s sole discretion, and (b) the written approval of Lender and Hotel Lender. Subject to the conditions set forth in this Section 9.3, Purchaser may assign its rights under this Agreement to a Permitted Assignee without the prior written consent of Seller.

Such assignment shall not become effective until such Permitted Assignee executes an instrument reasonably satisfactory to Seller in form and substance whereby the Permitted Assignee expressly assumes each of the obligations of Purchaser under this Agreement, including specifically, without limitation, all obligations concerning the Earnest Money. No assignment shall release or otherwise relieve Purchaser from any obligations hereunder. For purposes of this Section 9.3, the term “Permitted Assignee” shall mean an (i) a limited liability company or corporation in which William L. Hutchinson owns or controls a majority of the voting ownership interests, (ii) a general partnership in which William L. Hutchinson is a general

partner owning a majority of the total partnership interests therein, or (iii) a limited partnership in which the general partner is William L. Hutchinson or an entity owned or controlled by William L. Hutchinson.

 

9.4                                 Confidentiality. The information supplied to or made available to Purchaser by Seller pursuant to this Agreement shall not be released or disclosed to any other parties unless and until this transaction has closed without the prior written consent of Seller. Seller shall not withhold its consent to disclosure of such information to Purchaser’s attorney or to any prospective lender. In the event that this transaction is not closed for any reason, then (a) Purchaser shall refrain, and shall cause its agents, representatives and accountants to refrain, from disclosing all such information to any other party, (b) Purchaser shall promptly return to Seller any statements, documents, schedules, exhibits or other written information obtained from Seller in connection with this Agreement or the transaction contemplated herein, and (c) notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Agreement, the covenant set forth in the foregoing clauses (a) and (b) shall survive any termination of this Agreement. It is understood and agreed that, with respect to any provision of this Agreement which refers to the termination of this Agreement and the return of the Earnest Money to Purchaser, such Earnest Money shall not be returned to Purchaser unless and until Purchaser has fulfilled its obligation to return to Seller the materials described in clause (b) of the preceding sentence. In the event of a breach or threatened breach by Purchaser or its agents or representatives of this Section 9.4, Seller shall be entitled to an injunction restraining Purchaser or its agents or representatives from disclosing, in whole or in part, such confidential information. Nothing herein shall be construed as prohibiting Seller from pursuing any other available remedy at law or in equity for such breach or threatened breach.

9.7                                 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

9.10                           Entire Agreement; Modifications. This Agreement contains the entire agreement between the parties relating to the transactions contemplated hereby and all prior or contemporaneous agreements, understandings, representations or statements, oral or written, are superseded hereby. No waiver, modification amendment, discharge or change of this Agreement shall be valid unless the same is in writing and signed by the party against which the enforcement of such modification, waiver, amendment discharge or change is sought.

 

9.11                           Partial Invalidity. Any provision of this Agreement which is unenforceable or invalid or the inclusion of which would affect the validity, legality or enforcement of this Agreement shall be of no effect, but all the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

 

9.12                           Discharge of Obligations. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the acceptance of the Deed by Purchaser at Closing shall be deemed to be a full performance and discharge of every representation, warranty and covenant made by Seller herein and every agreement and obligation on the part of Seller to be performed pursuant to the provisions hereof, and such representations, warranties and covenants shall be deemed to merge into the documents delivered at Closing.

 

9.13                           No Relationship with Kimpton. Seller and Kimpton have entered into a licensing agreement and a hotel management agreement that, while such agreements are in effect, respectively (i) permit Seller to use certain trademarks, trade names, service marks and copyrights associated with the name “Hotel Palomar” (collectively, the “Kimpton Intellectual Property”) in connection with the initial sale and marketing of the Units, and (ii) provide for Kimpton to manage the Hotel Unit. Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that the Property has been marketed to, and is being sold to, Purchaser solely by Seller and not by Kimpton, and that Kimpton shall not have any liability or obligation in connection with the marketing and sale of the Property to Purchaser. Purchaser releases Kimpton from any liability with respect to any representations or defects, and waives any claim whatsoever against Kimpton in relation to the marketing, sale or construction of the Property.

20



 

capacity in connection with the development of the Property or the marketing or sale of the Property to Purchaser and (C) Kimpton (including any representative or agent thereof) has not made any representation or warranty of any nature whatsoever (express or implied) in connection with the sale of the Property to Purchaser. Purchaser further acknowledges and agrees that Purchaser is not a third-party beneficiary of any agreement between Seller and Kimpton and that there are no guarantees that the Hotel Unit will be operated as a Hotel Palomar or that Kimpton will manage the Hotel Unit at the Closing or for any period following the Closing. Purchaser further acknowledges and agrees that Purchaser, by acquiring the Property, will not acquire any right or interest in the Kimpton Intellectual Property, which shall at all times remain the sole and exclusive property of Kimpton. Purchaser further acknowledges and agrees that Purchaser shall not use any Kimpton Intellectual Property, including the name “Hotel Palomar” when leasing or reselling the Property. Purchaser further acknowledges and agrees that if Kimpton no longer manages the Hotel Unit, then all use of the Kimpton Intellectual Property will in all likelihood cease at and be removed from the property comprising the condominium regime of which the Property is a part (including the removal of all signs or other materials bearing any trademarks, trade names, service marks and copyrights associated with the name “Hotel Palomar”) and certain hotel services (such as room service, housekeeping, etc.) may no longer be available to the Units. There is no assurance that the Hotel Unit at all times will be Hotel Palomar or an operating hotel. Seller does not and will not have any liability to Purchaser regarding the cessation of operation of the Hotel Unit as a hotel managed by Kimpton or for the cessation of the operation of the Hotel Unit as a hotel. Kimpton is a third party beneficiary of the applicable portions of Article VIII hereof for (1) asserting the disclaimers, waivers and/or releases contained in such section as a defense in any action in which Kimpton is a party and (2) enforcing the applicable indemnification provision against Purchaser. Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that no optional hotel rental program has been or will be established by Seller under which program the Units may be rented as guest rooms at the Hotel Unit. If such a program is established, Purchaser agrees and acknowledges that a purchase, or offer to purchase, of any of the Units to be included in a rental program is not an investment or a security under any applicable security laws. The provisions of this Section 9.13 shall survive the Closing.

 

9.14                           Resale Certificate. Purchaser acknowledges that Texas Property Code Section 82.157 requires Purchaser, before executing a contract for the resale of any of the Units, to furnish certain information regarding the Property, including a resale certificate issued by the Residential Association, to the prospective purchaser.

 

9.15                           Limited Liability. Purchaser agrees that it does not have and will not have any claims or causes of action against any disclosed or undisclosed officer, director, employee, trustee, shareholder, member, partner, principal, parent, subsidiary or other affiliate of Seller, or any officer, director, employee, trustee, shareholder, member, partner or principal of any such parent, subsidiary or other affiliate (collectively, “Sellers’ Affiliates”), arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. Purchaser agrees to look solely to Seller and its assets for the satisfaction of any liability or obligation arising under this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, or for the performance of any of the covenants, warranties or other agreements contained herein, and further agrees not to sue or otherwise seek to enforce any personal obligation against any of Sellers’ Affiliates with respect to any matters arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, neither the negative capital account of any constituent partner or member in Seller, nor any obligation of any constituent partner or member in any entity owning an interest (directly or indirectly) in Seller to restore a negative capital account or to contribute capital to Seller (or any entity owning an interest, directly or indirectly, in any other constituent partner or member of Seller), shall at any time be deemed to be the property or an asset of Seller or any such other partner or member. Accordingly, neither Purchaser nor any of its successors or assigns shall have any right to collect, enforce, or proceed against or with respect to (a) the negative capital account of any constituent partner or member in Seller, or (b) any

 

21



 

obligation of any constituent partner or member in any entity owning an interest (directly or indirectly) in Seller to restore a negative capital account or to contribute capital to Seller (or any entity owning an interest, directly or indirectly, in any other constituent partner or member of Seller.

9.17                           Further Assurances.

9.18                           Construction. The parties acknowledge that the parties and their counsel have reviewed and revised this Agreement and that 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.

 

9.19                           Calculation of Time Periods.

PURCHASER AND SELLER AGREE THAT THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION SHALL SURVIVE THE CLOSING OF THE TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT.

 

9.21                           Municipal Utility District Notices. Purchaser agrees that if the Property or any portion thereof is located in a municipal utility district, Purchaser will, within five (5) days after request by Seller, execute any and all notices which, in the opinion of counsel for Seller, are required by law to be given to Purchaser with respect to the Property.
