Within two (2) Business Days after the Effective Date, Purchaser shall deliver an earnest money deposit in the amount of $20,000.00 (the “Earnest Money") payable to the Title Company, in its capacity as escrow agent, to be held in escrow pursuant to the terms of this Contract. Seller’s acceptance of this Contract is expressly conditioned upon Purchaser’s timely deposit of the Earnest Money with the Title Company. If Purchaser fails to timely deposit the Earnest Money with the Title Company, then Seller may, at Seller’s option, terminate this Contract by delivering a written termination notice to Purchaser at any time until Purchaser deposits the Earnest Money with the Title Company.
      The Title Company shall deposit the Earnest Money in one or more fully insured accounts in one or more federally insured banking or savings institutions. Purchaser hereby instructs the Title Company to promptly deposit the check upon receipt (which instruction may not be retracted without Seller’s written consent). After receipt of necessary tax forms from Purchaser, the Title Company will deposit the Earnest Money in an interest bearing account unless this box is checked, in which case the Title Company will not be required to deposit the Earnest Money in an interest bearing account. Any interest earned on the Earnest Money will become a part of the Earnest Money. At the Closing, the Earnest Money will be applied to the Purchase Price or, at Purchaser’s option, will be returned to Purchaser upon full payment of the Purchase Price.

Notwithstanding anything in this Contract to the contrary, a portion of the Earnest Money in the amount of $100.00 will be non-refundable and will be distributed to Seller upon any termination of this Contract as independent consideration for Seller’s performance under this Contract. If this Contract is properly terminated by Purchaser pursuant to a right of termination granted to Purchaser by any provision of this Contract, the Earnest Money will be promptly returned to Purchaser. Any provision of this Contract that states that the Earnest Money is to be returned to Purchaser means that the Earnest Money, less the non-refundable portion, is to be returned to Purchaser.
o    E. Escrow. The Earnest Money is deposited with the Title Company with the understanding that the Title Company is not: (1) responsible for the performance or non-performance of any party to this Contract; or (2) liable for interest on the funds except to the extent interest has been earned after the funds have been deposited in an interest bearing account.

Definition of Good Funds. “Good Funds” means currently available funds, in United States dollars, paid in the form of a certified check, cashier’s check, official bank check or wire transfer acceptable to the Title Company, such that the payment may not be stopped by the paying party. Any reference in this Contract to “cash” means Good Funds.

o      Seller shall deliver to Purchaser an existing survey (the “Survey”) of the Property prepared at Seller’s expense.
o      Seller shall deliver to Purchaser a new survey if new survey is need (the “Survey”) of the Property prepared at Purchaser’s expense.

          Any new Survey must: (1) be prepared by a Registered Professional Land Surveyor; (2) be in a form reasonably acceptable to Purchaser and the Title Company; (3) set forth a legal description of the Property by metes and bounds or by reference to a platted lot or lots; (4) show that the Survey was made on the ground with corners marked with monuments either found or placed; (5) show any discrepancies or conflicts in boundaries, and any visible encroachments; (6) contain the surveyor’s certificate that the Survey is true and correct; and (7) show the location and size of all of the following on or immediately adjacent to the Property, if any, if recorded or visible and apparent: (a) buildings, (b) building set back lines (as shown on any recorded plat, (c) streets and roads, (d) 100-year flood plain (approximate location), (e)improvements, (f) encroachments, (g) easements, (h) recording information of recorded easements, (i) pavements, (j)protrusions, (k) fences, (l) rights-of-way, and (m) any markers or other visible evidence of utilities. Any area of the Property within the 100-year flood plain will be shown on the Survey as the approximate location of the 100-yearflood plain as defined by the Federal Emergency Management Agency or other applicable governmental authority. If the area within any 100-year flood plain is to be deducted for the purpose of determining Net Land Area (defined below), then the Survey must show the area of the Property covered by the 100-year flood plain, and that area, as reasonably determined by the surveyor, will be conclusive for purposes of this Contract, even though the surveyor may qualify that determination as approximate. After the delivery of the Survey, the legal description of the Property set forth in the Survey will be incorporated in this Contract as the legal description of the Property, and will be used in the deed and any other documents requiring a legal description of the Property.
          The Survey must show the gross land area of the Property, and if the Purchase Price is based upon the Net Land Area then the Survey must also show the Net Land Area, expressed in both acres and square feet. The term “Net Land Area” means the gross land area of the Property less the area within any of the following (if recorded or visible and apparent, but excluding those within set back areas) [Check all that apply]:
o utility easements;
o drainage easements;
o access easements;
o rights-of-way;
o 100-year flood plain; and
o any encroachments on the Property.

(1) A title commitment (the “Title Commitment”) covering the Property binding the Title Company to issue a Texas Owner Policy of Title Insurance (the “Title Policy”) on the standard form prescribed by the Texas Department of Insurance at the Closing, in the full amount of the Purchase Price, insuring Purchaser’s fee simple title to the Property to be good and indefeasible, subject only to the Permitted Exceptions (defined below); and
(2) the following (collectively, the “Title Documents”): (a) true and legible copies of all recorded instruments affecting the Property and recited as exceptions in the Title Commitment; (b) a current tax certificate; (c) any written notices required by applicable statutes, including those referenced in Section 17; and (d) if the Property includes any personal property, UCC search reports pertaining to the Seller. Seller shall pay any expense for delivery of the Title Commitment and Title Documents.
6. REVIEW OF SURVEY AND TITLE.
      A. Title Review Period. Purchaser will have twenty (20) days (the “Title Review Period”) after receipt of the last of the Survey, Title Commitment and Title Documents to review them and to deliver in writing to Seller any objections Purchaser may have to them or any item disclosed by them. Any item to which Purchaser does not object will be deemed a “Permitted Exception.” The items set forth on Schedule C of the Title Commitment, and any other items the Title Company identifies to be released upon the Closing, will be deemed objections by Purchaser. Purchaser’s failure to object within the time provided will be a waiver of the right to object. If Purchaser delivers any written objections to Seller within the Title Review Period, then Seller shall make a good faith attempt to cure the objections within ten (10) days (the “Cure Period”) after receipt of the objections. However, Seller is not required to incur any cost to do so. Zoning ordinances and the lien for current taxes are deemed to be Permitted Exceptions.
      B. Cure Period. If Seller cannot cure the objections within the Cure Period, Seller may deliver a written notice to Purchaser, before expiration of the Cure Period, stating whether Seller is committed to cure the objections at or before the Closing. If Seller does not cure the objections within the Cure Period, or does not timely deliver the notice, or does not commit in the notice to fully cure all of the objections at or before the Closing, then Purchaser may terminate this Contract by delivering a written notice to Seller on or before the earlier to occur of: (1) the date that is seven (7) days after the expiration of the Cure Period; or (2) the scheduled Closing Date. If Purchaser properly and timely

 


 

terminates this Contract, the Earnest Money will be returned to Purchaser. If Purchaser does not properly and timely terminate this Contract, then Purchaser will be deemed to have waived any uncured objections and must accept title at the Closing subject to the uncured objections and other Permitted Exceptions. Seller’s failure to cure Purchaser’s objections under this Section 6 does not constitute a default by Seller.
     7. SELLER’S REPRESENTATIONS.
      A. Statements. Seller represents to Purchaser, to the best of Seller’s knowledge, as follows:
      (1) Title. At the Closing, Seller will convey to Purchaser good and indefeasible fee simple title to the Property free and clear of any and all liens, assessments, easements, security interests and other encumbrances except the Permitted Exceptions. Delivery of the Title Policy pursuant to Section 12 (the Closing) will be deemed to satisfy the obligation of Seller as to the sufficiency of title required under this Contract. However, delivery of the Title Policy will not release Seller from the warranties of title set forth in the warranty deed.
      (2) Leases. There are no parties in possession of any portion of the Property as lessees, tenants at sufferance or trespassers except tenants under written leases delivered to Purchaser pursuant to this Contract.
      (3) Liens and Debts. There are no mechanic’s liens, Uniform Commercial Code liens or unrecorded liens against the Property, and Seller shall not allow any such liens to attach to the Property before the Closing that will not be satisfied out of the Closing proceeds. All obligations of Seller arising from the ownership and operation of the Property and any business operated on the Property, including, but not limited to, taxes, leasing commissions, salaries, contracts, and similar agreements, have been paid or will be paid before the Closing. Except for obligations for which provisions are made in this Contract for prorating at the Closing and any indebtedness taken subject to or assumed, there will be no obligations of Seller with respect to the Property outstanding as of the Closing.
      (4) Litigation. There is no pending or threatened litigation, condemnation, or assessment affecting the Property. Seller shall promptly advise Purchaser of any litigation, condemnation or assessment affecting the Property that is instituted after the Effective Date.
      (5) Material Defects. Seller has disclosed to Purchaser any and all known conditions of a material nature with respect to the Property which may affect the health or safety of any occupant of the Property. Except as disclosed in writing by Seller to Purchaser, the Property has no known latent structural defects or construction defects of a material nature, and none of the improvements have been constructed with materials known to be a potential health hazard to occupants of the Property.
      (6) Hazardous Materials. Except as otherwise disclosed in writing by Seller to Purchaser, the Property(including any improvements) does not contain any Hazardous Materials (defined below) other than lawful quantities properly stored in containers in compliance with applicable laws.
      B. Remedies. If Purchaser discovers, before the Closing, that any of Seller’s representations have been misrepresented in a material respect, Purchaser may notify Seller of the misrepresentation in writing, and Seller shall attempt to correct the misrepresentation. If the misrepresentation is not corrected by Seller before the Closing, Purchaser may: (1) proceed to Closing, without waiving any claim for misrepresentation; or (2) terminate this Contract by delivering a written termination notice to Seller, in which case the Earnest Money will be returned to Purchaser.
      C. Negative Covenants. After the Effective Date, Seller shall not, without Purchaser’s prior written approval: (1) further encumber the Property or allow an encumbrance upon the title to the Property, or modify the terms of any existing encumbrance, if the encumbrance would still be in effect after Closing; or (2) enter into any lease or contract affecting the Property, if the lease or contract would still be in effect after Closing. However, Seller may enter into a lease or contract with an independent third party, in the ordinary course of business, without Purchaser’s consent, if Purchaser will be entitled to terminate the lease or contract after Closing, without incurring any termination charge, by delivering a termination notice thirty (30) days in advance of the termination date. If Seller enters into any lease or contract affecting the Property after the Effective Date, then Seller shall immediately deliver a photocopy of the signed document to Purchaser.
     8. NONCONFORMANCE. Purchaser has or will independently investigate and verify to Purchaser’s satisfaction the extent of any limitations of uses of the Property. Purchaser acknowledges that the current use of the Property or the improvements located on the Property (or both) may not conform to applicable Federal, State or municipal laws, ordinances, codes or regulations. Zoning, permitted uses, height limitations, setback requirements, minimum parking requirements, limitations on coverage of improvements to total area of land, Americans with Disabilities Act requirements, wetlands restrictions and other matters may have a significant economic impact upon the intended use of the Property by Purchaser. However, if Seller is aware of pending zoning changes and/or current nonconformance with any Federal, State or local laws, ordinances, codes or regulations, Seller shall disclose same to Purchaser.
     9. INSPECTION. [Check only one]
þ A. Inspection Desired. Purchaser desires to inspect the Property and Seller grants to Purchaser the right to inspect the Property as described in Addendum C, INSPECTION.
o B. Inspection Not Necessary. Purchaser acknowledges that Purchaser has inspected the Property, including all buildings and improvements, and is thoroughly familiar with their condition. Purchaser accepts the Property in its present “AS IS” condition, and any changes caused by normal wear and tear before the Closing, but without waiving Purchaser’s rights by virtue of Seller’s representations expressed in this Contract.

 


 

     10. CASUALTY LOSS AND CONDEMNATION.
      A. Damage or Destruction. All risk of loss to the Property will remain upon Seller before the Closing. If the Property is damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty to a Material Extent (defined below), then Purchaser may terminate this Contract by delivering a written termination notice to Seller within ten (10) days after the date the casualty occurred (and in any event before the Closing), in which case the Earnest Money will be returned to Purchaser. If the Property is damaged by fire or other casualty to less than a Material Extent, the parties shall proceed to the Closing as provided in this Contract. If the transaction is to proceed to the Closing, despite any damage or destruction, there will be no reduction in the Purchase Price and Seller shall do one of the following: (1) fully repair the damage before the Closing, at Seller’s expense; (2) give a credit to Purchaser at the Closing for the entire cost of repairing the Property; or (3) assign to Purchaser all of Seller’s right and interest in any insurance proceeds resulting from the damage or destruction, plus give a credit to Purchaser at the Closing in an amount equal to any deductible or other shortfall. The term “Material Extent” means damage or destruction where the cost of repair exceeds ten percent (10%) of the Purchase Price. If the extent of damage or the amount of insurance proceeds to be made available cannot be determined before the Closing Date, or the repairs cannot be completed before the Closing Date, either party may postpone the Closing Date by delivering a written notice to the other party specifying an extended Closing Date that is not more than thirty (30) days after the previously scheduled Closing Date.
      B. Condemnation. If condemnation proceedings are commenced before the Closing against any portion of the Property, then Seller shall immediately notify Purchaser in writing of the condemnation proceedings, and Purchaser may terminate this Contract by delivering a written notice to Seller within ten (10) days after Purchaser receives the notice (and in any event before the Closing), in which case the Earnest Money will be returned to Purchaser. If this Contract is not terminated, then any condemnation award will (a) if known on the Closing Date, belong to Seller and the Purchase Price will be reduced by the same amount, or (b) if not known on the Closing Date, belong to Purchaser and the Purchase Price will not be reduced.
     11. ASSIGNMENT. [Check only one]

However, if any objections that were timely made by Purchaser in writing pursuant to Section 6A (Title Review Period) have not been cured, then either party may postpone the Closing Date by delivering a written notice to the other party specifying an extended Closing Date that is not more than thirty (30)days after the previously scheduled Closing Date.

      C. Purchaser’s Closing Obligations. At the Closing, Purchaser shall deliver to Seller, at Purchaser’s expense:
      (1) The cash portion of the Purchase Price (with the Earnest Money being applied to the Purchase Price);
      (2) The Note and the Deed of Trust, if Addendum B-2, SELLER FINANCING, is attached;
      (3) A release from any applicable leasing agent, broker, or salesperson in recordable form releasing any claim for all commissions
                 payable under any lease affecting the Property;
      (4) Evidence of Purchaser’s authority and capacity to close this transaction; and
      (5) All other documents reasonably required by the Title Company to close this transaction.
      D. Closing Costs. Each party shall pay its share of the closing costs which are customarily paid by a seller or purchaser in a transaction of this character in the county where the Property is located, or as otherwise agreed.
      E. Prorations. Rents, lease commissions, interest, insurance premiums, maintenance expenses, operating expenses, and ad valorem taxes for the year of the Closing will be prorated at the Closing effective as of the date of the Closing. Seller shall give a credit to Purchaser at the Closing in the aggregate amount of any security deposits deposited by tenants under leases affecting the Property. If the Closing occurs before the tax rate is fixed for the year of the Closing, the apportionment of the taxes will be upon the basis of the tax rate for the preceding year applied to the latest assessed valuation, but any difference between actual and estimated taxes for the year of the Closing actually paid by Purchaser will be adjusted equitably between the parties upon receipt of a written statement of the actual amount of the taxes. This provision will survive the Closing.
      F. Rollback Taxes. If this sale or a change in use of the Property or denial of any special use valuation of the Property would result in the assessment after the Closing of additional taxes and interest applicable to the period of time before the Closing (“Rollback Taxes”), then: (1) Purchaser shall pay the Rollback Taxes (including any interest and penalties) if and when they are assessed, without receiving any credit from Seller; unless (2) this box is checked, in which case Seller shall give a credit to Purchaser at the Closing for the amount of the Rollback Taxes(including interest) that may be assessed after the Closing as reasonably estimated by the Title Company, and Purchaser shall pay the Rollback Taxes (including any interest and penalties) if and when they are assessed after the Closing. If Seller gives a credit to Purchaser for the estimated amount of Rollback Taxes, and the actual Rollback Taxes assessed after the Closing are different from the estimate used at the Closing, then there will be no subsequent adjustment between Seller and Purchaser. If any Rollback Taxes are due before the Closing due to a change in use of the Property by Seller or a denial of any special use valuation of the Property before the Closing, then Seller shall pay those Rollback Taxes (including any interest and penalties) at or before the Closing.
      G. Loan Assumption. If Purchaser takes the property subject to an existing mortgage loan at the Closing, Purchaser shall pay:
     (1) to the lender, any fee charged by the lender not to exceed $25,000.00; and (2) to Seller, a sum equal to the amount of any reserve accounts held by the lender for the payment of taxes, insurance and any other expenses applicable to the Property for which reserve accounts are held by the lender. If consent is required by the lender, Seller shall obtain the lender’s consent in writing and deliver the consent to Purchaser at the Closing. If Seller does not obtain the lender’s written consent (if required) and deliver it to Purchaser at or before the Closing, Purchaser may terminate this Contract by delivering a written termination notice to Seller, and the Earnest Money will be returned to Purchaser.
      H. Foreign Person Notification. If Seller is a Foreign Person, as defined by the Internal Revenue Code, or if Seller fails to deliver to Purchaser a non-foreign affidavit pursuant to §1445 of the Internal Revenue Code, then Purchaser may withhold from the sales proceeds an amount sufficient to comply with applicable tax law and deliver the withheld proceeds to the Internal Revenue Service, together with appropriate tax forms. A non-foreign affidavit from Seller must include: (1) a statement that Seller is not a foreign person; (2) the U. S. taxpayer identification number of Seller; and (3) any other information required by §1445 of the Internal Revenue Code.
     13. DEFAULT.
          A. Purchaser’s Remedies. If Seller fails to close this Contract for any reason except Purchaser’s default or the termination of this Contract pursuant to a right to terminate set forth in this Contract, Seller will be in default and Purchaser may elect to either: (1) enforce specific performance of this Contract (force Seller to sell the Property to Purchaser pursuant to this Contract); or (2) terminate this Contract by delivering a written notice to Seller.
          The foregoing will be Purchaser’s sole and exclusive remedies for Seller’s default unless this box x is checked, in which case Purchaser may sue Seller for damages. If the box is checked to allow Purchaser to sue Seller for damages, then Purchaser must elect to pursue either specific performance or a claim for damages at the beginning of any legal action initiated by Purchaser.
          B. Seller’s Remedies. If Purchaser fails to close this Contract for any reason except Seller’s default or the termination of this Contract pursuant to a right to terminate set forth in this Contract, Purchaser will be in default and Seller may terminate this Contract and receive the Earnest Money as liquidated damages for Purchaser’s breach of this Contract, thereby releasing Purchaser from this Contract. If Seller terminates this Contract due to Purchaser’s default, then the Earnest Money will be paid to Seller.
          The right to receive the Earnest Money will be Seller’s sole and exclusive remedy for Purchaser’s default unless one of the following remedies is selected, in which case Seller may sue Purchaser:
o      to enforce specific performance (force Purchaser to purchase the Property pursuant to this Contract); or
o      for damages.
          If one or both of the boxes is checked to allow Seller to sue Purchaser to enforce specific performance or for

Any party may change its address for notice purposes by delivering written notice of its new address to all other parties in the manner set forth above.
