29914974 v6
however, Seller will rebrand the same immediately after Closing and discontinue all use of the “Haywood Reserve” name in connection with such social media sites.
ARTICLE 2 | PURCHASE PRICE AND DEPOSIT |
2.1 Payment. The purchase price for the Property (the “Purchase Price”) is Fifty-Three Million Seven Hundred Seventy-Five Thousand and 00/100 DOLLARS ($53,775,000.00). The cash due at Closing on account of the Purchase Price shall be subject to adjustment as set forth in this Agreement. The Purchase Price shall be paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds at the Closing. Seller and Purchaser mutually agree that the allocation of the Purchase Price is allocated to the Land and Improvements. Such agreed‑upon allocation shall be used solely for transfer, sales and similar tax purposes and in any declaration or filing with any governmental authority in connection with the same. The allocation of the Purchase Price for all other purposes, whether for local, state or federal taxes or otherwise, shall not be restricted by this Agreement and shall not require the consent of the other party.
2.2 Deposit.
2.2.1 Within one business day of the Effective Date, Purchaser shall deposit with Lawyers Title Insurance Company, 4514 Cole Avenue, Suite 1400, Dallas, Texas 75205, Attention: Chris Faison (the “Escrow Agent” or “Title Company”), by bank wire transfer the sum of One Hundred Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($100,000.00), as a non-refundable deposit (except as otherwise provided herein) to assure Purchaser’s performance hereunder (together with all interest thereon if any, the “Initial Deposit”). Prior to making the Initial Deposit, Seller, Purchaser and the Escrow Agent shall enter into an escrow agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit B attached hereto (the “Escrow Agreement”). So long as Purchaser does not terminate this Agreement as provided in Section 5.1.4, then no later than one business day after the expiration of the Study Period (as hereinafter defined), Purchaser shall deposit with the Escrow Agent by bank wire transfer the additional sum of Eight Hundred Fifty Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($850,000.00) (the “Second Deposit”), as a non-refundable deposit (except as otherwise provided herein) to assure Purchaser’s performance hereunder. The Initial Deposit and the Second Deposit, in the total amount of Nine Hundred Fifty Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($950,000.00), together with all interest thereon, if any, are referred to collectively as the “Deposit.”
2.2.2 Escrow Agent shall place the Initial Deposit and the Second Deposit (if made) in an interest-bearing escrow account at a federally-insured (to the extent of the FDIC limits) commercial bank acceptable to both Seller and Purchaser. The Escrow Agent shall hold the Deposit in accordance with this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement. At Closing (as hereinafter defined), Escrow Agent shall deliver the Deposit to Seller and credit the Deposit against the Purchase Price.
ARTICLE 3 | TITLE AND SURVEY |
3.1 State of Title to be Conveyed. Title to the Property shall be conveyed to Purchaser at Closing in fee simple by Limited Warranty Deed, free and clear of any and all liens, mortgages, deeds of trust, security interests and other encumbrances, except for the following (collectively, the
3 |
29914974 v6
“Permitted Exceptions”): (i) real property taxes and assessments attributable to the Property for the year in which Closing occurs and thereafter, not yet due and payable; (ii) zoning and other regulatory laws and ordinances affecting the Property; (iii) any easement, right of way, limitation, encroachment, conflict, discrepancy, overlapping of improvements, protrusion, lien, encumbrance, restriction, condition, covenant, exception or other matter with respect to the Property that is reflected or addressed on the Survey or the Title Commitment to which Purchaser fails to timely object pursuant to Section 3.2.3 or 3.2.4 of this Agreement; (iv) any Purchaser’s Objection (as hereinafter defined) that remains uncured, for whatever reason, at the earlier to occur of (A) Closing hereunder or (B) five (5) Business Days after Seller notifies Purchaser that Seller is unwilling or unable to cure or modify Purchaser’s Objections to the reasonable satisfaction of Purchaser, and (v) the rights and interests of parties claiming under the Leases. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, as of the Closing, Seller, at no cost or expense to the Purchaser, shall cause the following to be released, satisfied and removed from the Property of record, and all payments, costs, fees and expenses payable or otherwise associated with such release shall be paid by the Seller or its affiliates: (1) all mortgages, deeds of trust granted by Seller or its affiliates or recorded against the Property by, through or under Seller, (2) all delinquent property taxes and assessments (if any), (3) any construction, mechanic's or materialmen's liens or record or any involuntary monetary liens of record which are caused by Seller or its affiliates, and (4) all property taxes and assessments (if any) due and payable as of the Closing (collectively, "Mandatory Cure Items"). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Seller shall be obligated to remove all Mandatory Cure Items as of Closing regardless of whether Purchaser has objected to them. To the extent that Seller has not removed all Mandatory Cure Items as of Closing, Purchaser shall have the right to direct the Title Company to divert a portion of the Purchase Price deemed necessary by the Title Company to cure such items on the Closing Date.
3.2 Title Commitment and Survey.
3.2.1 Purchaser shall obtain a title commitment (the “Title Commitment”) for an ALTA owner’s policy of title insurance (on the current ALTA 2006 Form) in the amount of the Purchase Price with respect to the Property issued by the Title Company. Purchaser shall deliver copies of the Title Commitment and all items listed as title exceptions therein (to the extent provided to Purchaser by the Title Company) to Seller within ten (10) days after the Effective Date.
3.2.2 Purchaser may obtain, at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense, a survey of the Property (certified to include Seller) prepared by a licensed surveyor (the “Survey”) within ten (10) Business Days after the Effective Date. Purchaser shall deliver a copy of the Survey to Seller and the Title Company promptly after Purchaser’s receipt of the Survey.
3.2.3 If (i) the Survey shows any easement, right-of-way, encroachment, conflict, protrusion or other matter that is unacceptable to Purchaser, or (ii) any exceptions appear in the Title Commitment that are unacceptable to Purchaser, Purchaser shall, within 10 days after the later of Purchaser’s receipt of the Title Commitment or the Survey (but in no event later than July 14, 2017), notify Seller in writing of such matters (“Purchaser’s Objections”). Except for Purchaser’s Objections that are timely raised pursuant to the preceding sentence, Purchaser shall be deemed to have accepted the form and substance of the Survey, all matters shown thereon, and
4 |
29914974 v6
all exceptions to the Title Commitment and other items shown thereon. Within three (3) business days after Seller’s receipt of Purchaser’s Objections, Seller shall notify Purchaser in writing of the Purchaser’s Objections, if any, which Seller elects to attempt to cure at or prior to Closing. Seller’s failure to provide such a notice will be deemed an election by Seller not to cure any Purchaser’s Objections. If Seller is unable or unwilling to eliminate or modify all of Purchaser’s Objections to the commercially reasonable satisfaction of Purchaser, Purchaser may (as its sole and exclusive remedy) terminate this Agreement by delivering written notice to Seller by the earlier to occur of (i) 5:00 p.m. (Eastern time) on the last day of the Study Period (as hereinafter defined) or (ii) five (5) days after Seller’s written notice (or deemed notice) to Purchaser of Seller’s intent to not cure one or more of such Purchaser’s Objections; in which event, the Deposit will be returned to Purchaser, and neither party shall have any rights or obligations under this Agreement (other than any obligations of either party that expressly survive termination).
3.2.4 If any revision or update to the Survey or any supplemental title commitment or update issued subsequent to the date of the original Title Commitment discloses any matters not set forth on the original Survey or the original Title Commitment, then, no later than the later of (i) the expiration of the Study Period, or (ii) five (5) days after Purchaser’s receipt of the updated Survey, or (iii) five (5) days after Purchaser’s receipt of the supplemented or updated Title Commitment, as applicable, Purchaser shall have the right to object to any such matter, in which event the same procedures for response, termination and waiver set forth above shall apply to such new Purchaser’s Objections. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any such matter not set forth on the original Survey or the original Title Commitment is the result of an intentional act of Seller after the Effective Date that is not otherwise permitted under this Agreement, then Purchaser shall be permitted to pursue the remedies provided in Section 11.1 hereof.
3.2.5 Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Seller shall have no obligation to take any steps, bring any action or proceeding or incur any effort or expense whatsoever to eliminate, modify or cure any objection Purchaser may have pursuant to Section 3.2.3 or Section 3.2.4, other than Mandatory Cure Items.
ARTICLE 4 | PROPERTY INFORMATION |
4.1 Property Information. Seller shall make available to Purchaser, either at the property management office at the Property or via a due diligence website, the materials described on Schedule 4.1 attached hereto and any other materials Seller may include in such due diligence website (collectively, the “Property Information”). Purchaser shall keep such Property Information confidential, subject to Purchaser’s right to disseminate Property Information to or among the parties listed in Section 15.17 of this Agreement, and subject to the restrictions set forth in Section 15.17. Seller makes no representation or warranty as to the truth or accuracy of the Property Information provided to Purchaser, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement.

ARTICLE 5 | PURCHASER’S DUE DILIGENCE |
5.1 Purchaser’s Due Diligence
5.1.1 Subject to the provisions of this Section, Purchaser and its agents, employees, consultants, inspectors, appraisers, engineers and contractors (collectively “Purchaser's Representatives”) shall have the right, through the Closing Date, from time to time, upon the advance notice required pursuant to this Section 5.1, to enter upon and pass through the Property during normal business hours to examine and inspect the same. Notwithstanding any such inspection, or anything to the contrary contained herein, Purchaser's obligations hereunder shall not be limited or otherwise affected as a result of any fact, circumstance or other matter of any kind discovered following the date hereof in connection with any such inspection, access or otherwise; it being agreed that Seller is permitting Purchaser such right of inspection and access as a courtesy to Purchaser in its preparation for taking title to the Property.
5.1.2 In conducting any inspection of the Property or otherwise accessing the Property, Purchaser shall at all times comply with all laws and regulations of all applicable governmental authorities, and neither Purchaser nor any of Purchaser's Representatives shall (i) contact or have any discussions with any of Seller's employees, agents or representatives, or with any tenants (including, without limitation, having any contacts whatsoever with tenants, including but not limited to telephone conversations or electronic mail messages) at, or contractors providing services to, the Property, unless in each case Purchaser obtains the prior written consent of Seller (which may be given via electronic mail), it being agreed that all such contacts or discussions shall, pending any such approval, be directed to Cameron Conner via electronic mail (at ***@***), (ii) interfere in any material respect with the business of Seller conducted at the Property or disturb the use or occupancy of any tenant or occupant of the Property or (iii) damage the Property (other than the mere disclosure to Seller of the results of such inspections). In conducting any inspection of the Property or otherwise accessing the Property, Purchaser and Purchaser's Representatives shall at all times comply with, and shall be subject to, the rights of the tenants under the Leases (and any persons claiming by, under or through such tenants). Seller may from time to time establish reasonable rules of conduct for Purchaser and Purchaser's Representatives in furtherance of the foregoing, and Purchaser shall comply with all of Seller’s requirements regarding entry upon the Property. Purchaser shall schedule and coordinate all inspections, including, without limitation, any environmental tests, and other access with Seller and shall give Seller at least two (2) Business Days’ prior notice thereof. Seller shall be entitled to have a representative present at all times during each such inspection or other access. Purchaser agrees to pay to Seller on demand the cost of repairing and restoring any damage or disturbance which Purchaser or Purchaser's Representatives shall cause to the Property. All inspection fees, appraisal fees, engineering fees and other costs and expenses of any kind incurred by Purchaser or Purchaser's Representatives relating to such inspection and its other access shall be at the sole expense of Purchaser. Purchaser shall keep all information obtained during its inspections and access to the Property confidential (subject to the other terms of this Agreement). If the Closing shall not occur for any reason whatsoever, Purchaser shall: (A) promptly deliver to Seller, at no cost to Seller, and without representation or warranty, the originals (or copies) of all third party non-confidential tests, reports and inspections of the Property, made and conducted by Purchaser or Purchaser's
6 |
29914974 v6
Representatives or for Purchaser's benefit that are in the possession or control of Purchaser or Purchaser's Representatives; (B) promptly return to Seller copies of all due diligence materials delivered by Seller to Purchaser; and (C) promptly destroy all copies and abstracts of the materials referenced in (A) and (B) above. Purchaser and Purchaser's Representatives shall not be permitted to conduct borings of the Property or drilling in or on the Property, or any other invasive, intrusive or destructive testing in connection with the preparation of an environmental audit or in connection with any other inspection of the Property without the prior written consent of Seller, which Seller may give or withhold in its sole discretion (and, if such consent is given, Purchaser shall be obligated to pay to Seller on demand the cost of repairing and restoring any damage as aforesaid). This Section 5.1.2 shall survive the Closing or any termination of this Agreement for a period of one year.
5.1.3 Prior to conducting any physical inspection or testing at the Property, Purchaser and Purchaser’s Representatives shall obtain, and during the period of such inspection or testing shall maintain, at their expense: (i) commercial general liability (“CGL”) insurance, issued on a form at least as broad as Insurance Services Office (“ISO”) Commercial General Liability Coverage “occurrence” form CG 00 01 10 01 or another “occurrence” form providing equivalent coverage, including contractual liability and personal injury liability coverage, with limits of not less than Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000) for any one occurrence and Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) in the aggregate; (ii) comprehensive automobile liability insurance (covering any automobiles owned or operated by Purchaser or Purchaser’s Representatives) issued on a form at least as broad as ISO Business Auto Coverage form CA 00 01 07 97 or other form providing equivalent coverage; (iii) worker's compensation insurance or participation in a monopolistic state workers’ compensation fund, and (iv) employer's liability insurance or (in a monopolistic state) Stop Gap Liability insurance. Such automobile liability insurance shall be in an amount not less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) for each accident. Such worker's compensation insurance shall carry minimum limits as defined by the law of the jurisdiction in which the Property is located (as the same may be amended from time to time). Such employer's liability insurance shall be in an amount not less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) for each accident, One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) disease-policy limit, and One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) disease-each employee. Seller, and its property manager, shall be covered as additional insureds on the CGL and automobile liability insurance policies with respect to liability arising out of the named insured’s acts or omissions relating to the Property. The insurer and the terms and conditions of all the foregoing policies shall be reasonably acceptable to Seller. Prior to making any entry upon the Property, Purchaser shall furnish to Seller a certificate of insurance evidencing the foregoing coverages, which certificate of insurance shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Seller.
5.1.4 Purchaser shall have until 5:00 p.m. (Eastern time) on July 21, 2017 (the “Study Period”) within which to determine, in its sole discretion, whether all matters related to the Property are satisfactory to Purchaser. If Purchaser, in its sole discretion, determines that the purchase of the Property is not feasible and that Purchaser does not desire to proceed with the transactions contemplated under this Agreement, then Purchaser shall deliver to Seller, prior to the expiration of the Study Period, written notice that Purchaser does not desire to proceed with the transactions contemplated under this Agreement and in such case, this Agreement shall terminate upon Seller’s receipt of such notice, except for those matters which are indicated herein as surviving termination, and the Deposit shall be immediately returned to Purchaser. If Purchaser fails to timely
7 |
29914974 v6
notify Seller prior to the expiration of the Study Period (with time being of the essence) that Purchaser does not desire to proceed with the transactions contemplated under this Agreement as aforesaid, then Purchaser shall be deemed to have waived its right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 5.1.4.
5.1.5 Purchaser hereby agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Seller, its partners, members, affiliates, property manager, and their respective officers, directors, agents, employees, and representatives (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all liens, claims, or damages of any kind or nature, including any demands, actions or causes of action, assessments, losses, costs, expenses, liabilities, interest and penalties, and reasonable attorneys’ fees suffered, incurred, or sustained by any of the Indemnified Parties directly caused by Purchaser or Purchaser’s Representatives with respect to any due-diligence activities at the Property pursuant to this Agreement, except any arising from the discovery of preexisting conditions (so long as Purchaser does not exacerbate any such condition). This Section 5.1.5 shall survive the Closing or any termination of this Agreement.
5.2 As Is, Where Is.
5.2.1 Except as provided in the express representations and warranties of Seller set forth in Sections 6.1 and 12 of this Agreement and in Seller’s Limited Warranty Deed and the Bill of Sale (all as hereinafter defined) (collectively, the “Express Representations”), Seller does not, by the execution and delivery of this Agreement, and Seller shall not, by the execution and delivery of any document or instrument executed and delivered in connection with the Closing, make any representation or warranty, express or implied, of any kind or nature whatsoever, with respect to the Property, and all such warranties are hereby disclaimed.
5.2.2 Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, other than the Express Representations, Seller makes, and shall make, no express or implied warranty as to matters of title, zoning, acreage, tax consequences, physical or environmental condition (including, without limitation, laws, rules, regulations, orders and requirements pertaining to the use, handling, generation, treatment, storage or disposal of any toxic or hazardous waste or toxic, hazardous or regulated substance), valuation, governmental approvals, governmental regulations or any other matter or thing relating to or affecting the Property (collectively, the “Disclaimed Matters”).
5.2.3 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, but subject to the Express Representations and Seller’s obligations set forth in Section 7.1 of this Agreement, and subject to Article 10 hereof, the Property, including without limitation the roofs, all structural components, all heating, ventilating, air conditioning, mechanical, plumbing, and electrical systems, fire and life safety and all other parts of the Improvements constituting a portion of the Property, shall be conveyed to Purchaser, and Purchaser shall accept same, in their “AS IS” “WHERE IS” condition on the Closing Date, “WITH ALL FAULTS” and “SUBJECT TO ALL DEFECTS.” Purchaser acknowledges that Seller’s willingness to sell the Property to Purchaser at the Purchase Price has been induced, in part, by the agreement of Purchaser to purchase the Improvements and the Personal Property in such “AS IS” condition. Purchaser hereby acknowledges, represents and warrants that it is not in a disparate bargaining position with respect to Seller in connection with the transaction contemplated hereby, that Purchaser freely and fairly
8 |
29914974 v6
agreed to the waivers and conditions of this Section 5.2 as part of the negotiations of this Agreement, and Purchaser has been represented by adequate legal counsel in connection herewith and has conferred with such legal counsel concerning the waivers and other conditions of this Section 5.2.
5.2.4 Without in any way limiting any provision of this Section 5.2, Purchaser specifically acknowledges and agrees that, except with respect to the Express Representations and the obligations of Seller set forth in Section 7.1 of this Agreement, and subject to Article 10 hereof, Purchaser hereby waives, releases and discharges any claim it has, might have had or may have against Seller with respect to (i) the Disclaimed Matters, (ii) the condition of the Property as of the Closing Date, (iii) the past, present or future condition or compliance of the Property with regard to any environmental protection, pollution control or land use laws, rules, regulations, orders or requirements, including, without limitation, CERCLA (as hereinafter defined), or (iv) any other state of facts that exists with respect to the Property. The waiver, release and discharge set forth in this Section 5.2.4 shall survive the Closing or any termination of this Agreement.

8.1.1 Seller shall have performed and observed, in all material respects, all covenants of Seller under this Agreement.
14 |
29914974 v6
8.1.2 Subject to the provisions of Section 8.4 below, all representations and warranties of Seller set forth in this Agreement shall be true and correct in all material respects as if made on the Closing Date.
8.2 Conditions Precedent to Seller’s Obligation to Close. Seller’s obligation to sell the Property is subject to satisfaction, on or before the Closing Date (as such date may be extended as provided herein) of the following conditions, any of which may be waived in writing by Seller, in Seller’s sole and absolute discretion:
8.2.1 Purchaser shall have performed and observed, in all material respects, all covenants of Purchaser under this Agreement.
8.2.2 All representations and warranties of Purchaser set forth in this Agreement shall be true and correct in all material respects as if made on the Closing Date.
8.3 Failure of a Condition
8.3.1 In the event that any condition precedent to Closing has not been satisfied on or before the Closing Date, then the party whose conditions to Closing have not been satisfied (the “Unsatisfied Party”) shall give notice to the other party of the condition or conditions which the Unsatisfied Party asserts are not satisfied. If the conditions specified in such notice are not satisfied within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of such notice, then the party whose condition precedent was not satisfied may terminate this Agreement, whereupon neither party shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder (other than any obligations of either party that expressly survive termination) and the Deposit shall be returned to Purchaser; provided, however, that if such failure of a condition is due to a default by one of the parties, the disposition of the Deposit shall be governed solely by Article 11 of this Agreement and not by this Section 8.3.1. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, if any of the conditions precedent to Purchaser’s obligation to close, as set forth in Section 8.1 of this Agreement, are not satisfied within the ten (10) Business Day period specified above and the same are reasonably susceptible of being cured, Seller shall have the right to extend such period in which to satisfy the unsatisfied condition for a period of up to thirty (30) additional days, by giving notice thereof to Purchaser within such ten (10) Business Day period. Further, Purchaser shall have the right to waive the unsatisfied condition or conditions, by notice to Seller within five (5) Business Days after expiration of the applicable satisfaction period, without satisfaction having occurred, in which event the Closing Date shall be the date which is five (5) Business Days after Seller’s receipt of Purchaser’s waiver notice.
8.3.2 If the transaction contemplated by this Agreement closes, the parties shall be deemed to have waived any and all unmet or unsatisfied conditions, other than any unmet or unsatisfied conditions arising out of a breach by either party of any of its representations and warranties hereunder of which the other party has no knowledge as of Closing.
8.4 Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties made by Seller in this Agreement shall be true and correct in all material respects as of the Closing Date, except to the extent the facts and circumstances underlying such representations and warranties may have changed as of the Closing; provided, however, that if on the Closing Date any such
15 |
29914974 v6
representations and warranties are not true and correct in all material respects or Seller has not performed any material covenants required to be performed by Seller pursuant to this Agreement, Purchaser shall in any event be required to close hereunder and pay the Purchase Price to Seller without any reduction or credit unless the breach of any representations and warranties or covenants will have, in the aggregate, a “material adverse effect” and in such event, Seller shall be entitled, at its option and in its sole discretion, to credit to Purchaser such amount on account of such breach as will cause the same to no longer have a “material adverse effect,” in which event Purchaser shall be required to close hereunder. As used herein, a “material adverse effect” shall be deemed to have occurred if by reason of such misrepresentation or breach of covenant the fair market value of the Property is decreased by an amount exceeding Twenty-Five Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($25,000.00). For purposes hereof, a representation or warranty shall not be deemed to have been breached if the representation or warranty is not true and correct in all material respects as of the Closing Date by reason of changed facts or circumstances which (i) pursuant to the terms of this Agreement are permitted to have occurred or (ii) are not within the reasonable control of Seller.

Any and all rebates or reductions in taxes received subsequent to Closing for the calendar year in which Closing occurs, net of costs of obtaining the same (including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees), shall be prorated as of the Apportionment Time, when received. The current installment of all special assessments, if any, which are a lien against the Property at the time of Closing and which are being or may be paid in installments shall be prorated as of the Apportionment Time.

Not later than two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing, Seller or its agents or designees shall prepare, and promptly thereafter, Seller and Purchaser shall jointly agree upon, a closing statement (the “Closing Statement”) that will show the net amount due either to Seller or to Purchaser as the result of the adjustments and prorations provided for in this Agreement, and such net due amount shall be added to or subtracted from the cash balance of the Purchase Price to be paid to Seller at the Closing, as applicable. Not later than the date that is ninety (90) days after the Closing Date, Seller and Purchaser shall reprorate the adjustments and prorations provided for herein respecting any items that were not capable of being determined as of the Closing Date or that previously were wrongfully determined and need to be corrected and the manner in which such items shall be determined and paid. The net amount due Seller or Purchaser, if any, by reason of adjustments to the Closing Statement shall be paid in cash by the party obligated therefor within five (5) Business Days following the reproration by Seller and Purchaser. The reproration agreed to by Seller and Purchaser not later than ninety (90) days after the Closing Date shall be conclusive and binding on the parties hereto except for any items that are not capable of being determined at the time such reproration has been made by Seller and Purchaser and shall be
20 |
29914974 v6
conclusive and binding on the parties hereto except for any items that are not capable of being determined at that time of reproration, which items shall be determined and paid promptly as soon as they are capable of being determined. Prior to and following the Closing Date, each party shall provide the other with such information as the other shall reasonably request (including, without limitation, access to the books, records, files, ledgers, information and data with respect to the Property during normal business hours upon reasonable advance notice) in order to make the preliminary and final adjustments and prorations provided for herein.
9.5.11 Survival. The provisions of this Section 9.5 shall survive Closing.
ARTICLE 10 | DAMAGE AND CONDEMNATION |
10.1 Damage. If, prior to the Closing, all or any portion of the Property is damaged by fire or any other cause whatsoever, Seller shall promptly give Purchaser written notice of such damage.
10.1.1 Minor Damage. If the cost for repairing such damage is less than Five Hundred Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($500,000.00)(as determined by Seller’s independent insurer), then Purchaser shall have the right at Closing to receive the amount of the deductible plus all insurance proceeds received by Seller as a result of such loss, or an assignment of Seller’s rights to such insurance proceeds, and this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect with no reduction in the Purchase Price, and Seller shall have no further liability or obligation to repair such damage or to replace the Property.
10.1.2 Major Damage. If the cost for repairing such damage exceeds Five Hundred Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($500,000.00) (as determined by Seller’s independent insurer), then Purchaser shall have the option, exercisable by written notice delivered to Seller within five (5) Business Days (with the Closing Date being extended if necessary) after Seller’s notice of damage to Purchaser, either (i) to receive the amount of the deductible plus all insurance proceeds received by Seller as a result of such loss, or an assignment of Seller’s rights to such insurance proceeds, and this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect with no reduction in the Purchase Price, and Seller shall have no further liability or obligation to repair such damage or to replace the Property; or (ii) to terminate this Agreement. If Purchaser elects to terminate this Agreement, Purchaser shall give notice to Seller thereof, the Deposit shall be returned to Purchaser, and thereafter neither party will have any further rights or obligations hereunder, except for any obligations that expressly survive termination. If Purchaser fails to notify Seller within such five (5) Business Day period of Purchaser’s election to terminate this Agreement, then Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected option (i), and Purchaser and Seller shall proceed to Closing in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
10.2 Condemnation and Eminent Domain. In the event that any condemnation proceedings are instituted, or notice of intent to condemn is given, with respect to all or any “material portion of the Property” (which, for purposes of this Section 10.2, shall be deemed to mean the loss of a building or any part thereof or the loss of access to a public roadway), Seller shall promptly notify Purchaser thereof, in which event Purchaser shall either elect (at its option) to consummate the purchase of the Property without reduction of the Purchase Price, and the right to collect any
21 |
29914974 v6
condemnation award or compensation for such condemnation shall be assigned by Seller to Purchaser at Closing, or to terminate this Agreement. If Purchaser elects to terminate this Agreement, Purchaser shall give notice to Seller thereof, the Deposit shall be returned to Purchaser, and thereafter neither party will have any further rights or obligations hereunder, except for any obligations that expressly survive termination.
ARTICLE 11 REMEDIES AND ADDITIONAL COVENANTS
11.1 Seller Default At or Before Closing. If Seller is in breach or default of any of its obligations or agreements hereunder when performance is required on or prior to the Closing Date, or if any of the representations contained in Section 6.1 should be false in any material respect (subject to the provisions of Section 8.4) and Purchaser shall become actually aware of same on or prior to the Closing Date and Purchaser shall not have waived its claims with regard to same pursuant to this Agreement, then Purchaser shall give Seller written notice of such breach or default on or prior to the Closing Date and Seller shall have ten (10) Business Days from the date of receipt of such notice to cure such breach or default and the Closing Date shall be extended accordingly. If Seller fails to cure such breach or default within such ten (10) Business Day period, then Purchaser shall have the right, at its sole option and as its sole remedy, and Purchaser hereby waives its right to pursue any other remedy at law or in equity, and as Purchaser’s sole and exclusive remedy, Purchaser shall either (i) To terminate this Agreement by written notice to Seller and the Escrow Agent, in which event the Deposit shall be returned to Purchaser and Seller shall reimburse Purchaser for its actual costs incurred relating to this Agreement (not to exceed $100,000), whereupon neither party shall have any further rights, duties or obligations hereunder other than the obligations and rights set forth herein that expressly survive the termination of this Agreement, or (ii) to pursue specific performance of the obligations of Seller hereunder. As a condition precedent to Purchaser’s exercising any right it may have to bring an action for specific performance hereunder, Purchaser must commence such action for specific performance within thirty (30) days after the scheduled Closing Date. Purchaser agrees that its failure to timely commence such an action for specific performance within such thirty (30) day period shall be deemed a waiver by it of its right to commence an action for specific performance as well as a waiver by it of any right it may have to file or record a notice of lis pendens or notice of pendency of action or similar notice against the Property. In no event shall Purchaser seek, or Seller be liable for, any damages to Purchaser, including, without limitation, punitive or consequential damages.Seller Default From and After Closing. Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 6.4 of this Agreement, if Seller is in breach or default of any of its obligations or agreements hereunder that survive the Closing when performance is required, including, without limitation, any obligations or agreements under the documents delivered at Closing by Seller pursuant to Section 9.2.1 of this Agreement, or if any of the Express Representations should be false in any material respect and Purchaser shall first become actually aware of same after the Closing Date, then Purchaser shall give Seller written notice of such breach or default of such obligation, agreement or representation hereunder prior to the expiration of the applicable survival period of such breach or default and Seller shall have thirty (30) days from the date of receipt of such notice to cure such breach or default. If Seller fails to cure such breach or default within such thirty (30) day period, and the reasonably estimated losses or damages sustained as a result of Seller’s failure or inability to perform any of its obligations, agreements or Express Representations hereunder exceeds Twenty-Five Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($25,000.00), then
22 |
29914974 v6
Seller shall be liable for the actual direct damages suffered by Purchaser due to such uncured breach or default from the first dollar of loss. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, (i) in no event shall Seller be liable to Purchaser for damages in an aggregate amount in excess of Five Hundred Thirty-Seven Thousand Seven Hundred Fifty and 00/100 Dollars ($537,750.00), (ii) Seller’s inability to satisfy a condition of this Agreement shall not be considered a default by Seller hereunder unless such inability results from the breach of any of Seller’s representations set forth in Section 6.1 or the breach of Seller’s express covenants and obligations hereunder, and (iii) if Purchaser has actual knowledge of a default by Seller on the Closing Date and Purchaser elects to close the transaction contemplated herein, Purchaser shall be deemed to have irrevocably waived such default and Seller shall not have any liability with respect to such default.
11.2 Purchaser Default. The parties acknowledge and agree that Seller should be entitled to compensation for any detriment suffered if Purchaser fails to consummate the purchase of the Property if and when required to do so under the terms of this Agreement, but agree that it would be extremely difficult to ascertain the extent of the actual detriment Seller would suffer as a result of such failure. Consequently, if Purchaser fails to consummate the purchase of the Property on the Closing Date or fails to perform any of its other covenants in any material respect, or otherwise defaults in its obligations hereunder, then Seller shall be entitled to terminate this Agreement by giving written notice thereof to Purchaser prior to or at the Closing, in which event the Deposit shall be paid to Seller as fixed, agreed and liquidated damages and as its sole and exclusive remedy, and, after the payment of the Deposit to Seller, neither Seller nor Purchaser will have any further rights or obligations under this Agreement, except for any obligations that expressly survive termination, except that Seller shall have the right to pursue an action against Purchaser for Seller’s actual damages suffered on account of a default by Purchaser under Sections 5.1.2, 6.2, 12.2, and 15.17 of this Agreement; provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall constitute a waiver by Seller of any damages, rights or remedies which may be available to Seller against Purchaser at law or in equity as a result of any material breach of a representation or warranty or other material default of Purchaser hereunder (other than Purchaser’s failure to consummate the purchase of the Property on the Closing Date for which Seller shall be paid the Deposit in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence), all of which are hereby expressly reserved by Seller; provided, however, nothing contained herein shall entitle Seller to consequential or punitive damages or any other sums in excess of Seller’s actual damages.
11.3 Delivery of Materials. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, if this Agreement is terminated for any reason whatsoever, then Purchaser shall promptly deliver to Seller all Property Information provided to Purchaser by Seller, including copies thereof in any form whatsoever, including electronic form, along with any and all tests results and studies of the Property performed by or on behalf of Purchaser pursuant to Article 5, excluding any confidential or proprietary information or financial modeling. The obligations of Purchaser under this Section 11.4 shall survive any termination of this Agreement.
ARTICLE 12 | BROKERAGE COMMISSION |
12.1 Brokers. Seller represents and warrants to Purchaser that Seller has not contacted or entered into any agreement with any real estate broker, agent, finder, or any party in connection
23 |
29914974 v6
with this transaction, except for Jones Lang Lasalle Americas, Inc. (“Seller’s Broker”) and that Seller has not taken any action which would result in any real estate broker’s or finder’s fees or commissions being due and payable to any party other than Seller’s Broker with respect to the transaction contemplated hereby. Seller will be solely responsible for the payment of Seller’s Broker’s commission in accordance with the provisions of a separate agreement. Purchaser hereby represents and warrants to Seller that Purchaser has not contracted or entered into any agreement with any real estate broker, agent, finder, or any party in connection with this transaction and that Purchaser has not taken any action which would result in any real estate broker’s or finder’s fees or commissions being due or payable to any party with respect to the transaction contemplated hereby.
12.2 Indemnity. Each party hereby indemnifies and agrees to hold the other party harmless from and against any loss, liability, damage, cost, or expense (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) paid or incurred by the other party by reason of a breach of the representation and warranty made by such party under this Article 12. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the indemnities set forth in this Section 12.2 shall survive the Closing or earlier termination of this Agreement.

13.2 Method of Transmittal.
