Date, so long as Purchaser has not terminated this Agreement prior to Closing in accordance with this Paragraph 5 or any other provision herein affording Purchaser such rights, to make such investigations and evaluations of the Property as Purchaser deems necessary or desirable. In connection with such investigations:
(a) Upon not less than 24 hours’ notice (which may be by e-mail), Seller shall permit the Property Consultants access to and entry upon the Real Property to inspect and evaluate the condition of the Property and the feasibility of the transactions described herein. Prior to engaging in inspection activities at the Property, including, but not limited to, those affecting the physical condition of the Property, Purchaser shall deliver to Seller evidence, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Seller, that Purchaser and each Property Consultant engaged by it and entering on the Property to perform such activities are covered by adequate commercial general liability insurance, as determined by Seller in its reasonable discretion. Seller or Seller’s representative shall have the right to be present at any or all inspections; provided, however, that an inspection shall not be unreasonably delayed if, after being given notice of such inspection as provided herein and a reasonable opportunity to be present, Seller or a representative of Seller is unable to accompany the Property Consultant(s) at the time of such inspection. No inspection shall involve physically invasive procedures without the prior written consent of Seller (the scope, timing and inspection of which shall all be subject to Seller’s prior written consent, which may be withheld at the sole and absolute discretion of Seller); provided, however, Purchaser shall have the right to conduct a “Phase 2” environmental assessment if same is recommended by Purchaser’s “Phase 1” environmental assessment.

Upon the completion of any inspection or test of the Property, Purchaser shall promptly repair any damage to the Property resulting from such inspection or test so that the Property is restored to its condition prior to such inspection or test. Purchaser shall indemnify, defend (with counsel reasonably acceptable to Seller) and hold Seller and its affiliates, equity holders, employees, directors, officers, managers, agents, representatives, and successors and permitted assigns harmless from and against any and all claims, liens, damages, demands, causes of action, liabilities, lawsuits, judgments, losses, costs and expenses (including but not limited to attorneys’ fees and expenses) (collectively, “Seller’s Losses”) whether arising out of injury or death to persons or damage to the Property or any portion thereof or otherwise, including, but not limited to, costs of remediation, restoration and other similar activities, mechanic’s and materialmen’s liens and attorneys’ fees to the extent arising out of or resulting from Property Consultants’ right of entry upon and/or inspection and testing of the Property as provided for in this Paragraph 5. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser shall not be responsible for Seller’s Losses arising from the mere discovery of a pre-existing condition at the Property. If this Agreement is terminated, the terms of this Paragraph 5(a) shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
(b) Purchaser shall cause the information disclosed in this Agreement, or any information disclosed to or acquired by it or its Property Consultants in connection with the inspections and reviews described in this Paragraph 5 or otherwise provided by Seller pursuant to any other paragraph of this Agreement, to the extent such information is not a matter of public knowledge or readily available to the public (other than as a result of the
actions of Purchaser or Purchaser’s agents, or representatives) (collectively, the “Confidential Information”), to be held in confidence and not disclosed to any party other than as may be (i) reasonably required in connection with Purchaser investigating and evaluating the Property, obtaining financing or management services for the Property or obtaining licenses to operate the Property, (ii) necessary to enforce the terms and conditions of this Agreement, or (iii) required by applicable law. Purchaser shall indemnify, defend, and hold Seller harmless from any and all claims, losses, causes of action, demands, damages, liabilities, and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) arising in connection with Purchaser’s obligations under this Paragraph 5(b) and/or Purchaser’s disclosure of any Confidential Information. The provisions of this Paragraph 5(b) shall survive Closing or the earlier termination of this Agreement.
(c) As of the Closing Date or in the event of a termination of this Agreement, the confidentiality requirement set forth in Paragraph 5(b) shall be maintained by Purchaser, and all Confidential Information shall, at the request of Seller, be: (1) returned to Seller, or (2) destroyed by Purchaser, with any such destruction confirmed in writing upon the request of Seller. The provisions of this Paragraph 5(c) shall survive Closing or the earlier termination of this Agreement.
Purchaser shall have the right through the Diligence Date to terminate this Agreement, if Purchaser, in its sole and exclusive discretion, decides not to pursue the acquisition of the Property, by giving Seller Notice of the exercise by Purchaser of its right to so terminate prior to 11:59 p.m. (Chicago time) on the Diligence Date. If Purchaser does not timely notify Seller of its election to terminate this Agreement prior to 11:59 p.m. (Chicago time) on the Diligence Date, Purchaser shall be deemed to have waived its right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Paragraph 5.
6.
Title and Survey Matters.
(a)
Seller shall convey to Purchaser, by a recordable special warranty deed in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C (the “Deed”), fee simple title to the Real Property and such other estates, if any, as comprise the Appurtenances, subject only to the Permitted Title Exceptions. At least thirty (30) days prior to the Diligence Date, Purchaser shall obtain (i) the Title Commitment and (ii) the Survey. No later than fifteen (15) days prior to the Diligence Date (the “Objection Deadline”), Purchaser may give Notice to Seller of any Title Matters or Survey Matters. Should Purchaser fail to provide Notice before the Objection Deadline, such failure shall be deemed Purchaser’s approval of the Title Commitment and Survey and subject to Paragraph 6(c) below, all matters appearing in the Title Commitment and Survey shall be deemed Permitted Title Exceptions. Seller may, but shall not be obligated to, cure each Title Matter or Survey Matter by taking such action as will induce the Title Insurer to eliminate such Title Matter or Survey Matter from the Title Commitment and/or may induce the surveyor providing the Survey to amend the same to show the absence of any such Title Matter or Survey Matter, and if not curable, may, but shall not be obligated to, cause the Title Insurer to insure Purchaser against loss or damage resulting therefrom as an Insured Exception, pursuant to an endorsement or other express coverage in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Purchaser; provided, however, Purchaser shall have no obligation to accept insurance over any Title Matter or Survey Matter. No later than five (5) days prior to the Diligence Date (the “Response Deadline”),
Seller may give Purchaser Notice of those Title Matters or Survey Matters which Seller is able and willing to cure in the manner aforesaid or for which Seller is able and willing to obtain one or more of the title insurance endorsements described above. If Seller does not so notify Purchaser by the Response Deadline that Seller is able and willing to cure the Title Matters and Survey Matters (or any of them) or cause the Title Insurer to insure over same in the manner aforesaid (such notice being referred to herein as the “Cure Notice”), Seller shall be deemed to have elected not to cure any Title Matters or Survey Matters; whereupon, Purchaser shall have the right to terminate this Agreement prior to the Diligence Date in the manner set forth in Paragraph 5 above. If Purchaser does not terminate this Agreement in accordance with Paragraph 5 hereof, any and all Title Matters and Survey Matters which Seller does not affirmatively agree to cure in the Cure Notice shall be deemed added to and made a part of the Permitted Title Exceptions. If Seller does so notify Purchaser by the Response Deadline that Seller is able and willing to cure the Title Matters and Survey Matters or cause the Title Insurer to insure over same in the manner aforesaid (such Title Matters and Survey Matters that Seller has affirmatively agreed to cure in the Cure Notice are collectively referred to herein as the “Cure Items”), Seller shall be obligated to do so at or prior to Closing, and failure in respect of any such obligation with respect to the Cure Items shall be a default by Seller hereunder, subject, however, to any notice and cure period.
(b)
If on or prior to the Closing Date, Purchaser discovers any exceptions to title which (i) do not appear in the Title Commitment (or any update thereto received by Purchaser on or before the Diligence Date), (ii) materially and adversely affect the current use of the Property, (iii) was not caused by or through Purchaser, and (iv) Purchaser, in its reasonable discretion, objects (“New Title Matters”), Purchaser shall deliver Notice thereof to Seller (the “New Title Matter Notice”) prior to the date that is the earlier of (A) the Closing Date and (B) three (3) business days after Purchaser receives such update to the Title Commitment. In the event Purchaser does not deliver the New Title Matter Notice to Seller within such three (3) business day period, Purchaser shall be deemed to have approved such New Title Matters, and such New Title Matters shall constitute Permitted Title Exceptions. Seller shall have three (3) business days after the receipt of any New Title Matter Notice (and the Closing Date shall be automatically extended as necessary to accommodate such time period) to notify Purchaser in writing (each such notice, a “New Matter Seller Response”) that Seller will either, at Seller’s discretion, (1) cause each such New Title Matter contained in such New Title Matter Notice to be removed or satisfied or (2) not cause such New Title Matters to be removed or satisfied. If Seller fails to timely deliver a New Matter Seller Response, Seller shall be deemed to have elected not to cure such New Title Matters. In the event Seller elects, or is deemed to have elected, not to cure any New Title Matters in the New Title Matter Notice, Purchaser may either (x) elect to terminate this Agreement with respect to all of the Property by delivering notice of such election to Seller within three (3) business days (and the Closing Date shall be automatically extended as necessary to accommodate such time period) after receipt of the New Matter Seller Response (or three (3) business days after Seller is deemed to have responded, if applicable), in which event the Earnest Money shall be promptly returned to Purchaser, this Agreement shall terminate, and neither party shall have any rights or obligations hereunder except for those which expressly survive termination of this Agreement, or (y) waive such New Title Matters and proceed to the Closing in accordance
with the terms of this Agreement and without a reduction of the Price in which event such New Title Matters shall be deemed approved by Purchaser and shall constitute Permitted Title Exceptions. Purchaser’s failure to timely terminate this Agreement pursuant to clause (x) above shall constitute Purchaser’s election to proceed in accordance with clause (y) above.
(c)
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Paragraph 6, on or before the Closing Date, Seller shall discharge (1) any amounts secured by consensual mortgages or liens of Seller; (2) mechanics liens and other liens that evidence final and non-appealable liquidated amounts incurred by or on Seller’s behalf; and (3) New Title Matters and any other liens or encumbrances created by Seller or its agents and affiliates after the effective date of the Title Commitment, unless same are consented to by Purchaser. Seller’s failure in respect of its obligation to cause the discharge of any of the foregoing shall be a default by Seller hereunder, subject, however, to any notice and cure period provided for herein.

and shall be binding upon and enforceable against Seller in accordance with their respective terms.
(iv)

(viii)
To Seller’s knowledge, each of the Licenses and Warranties is in full force and effect, and neither Seller nor, to Seller’s knowledge, any counterparty thereto is in default of its obligations thereunder, and no event has occurred nor circumstance arisen which, with the giving of notice, the passage of time, or both, would constitute a default thereunder.
(ix)
There are no judgments or decrees of any kind affecting the Property that are unpaid or unsatisfied of record; the Property is not in the hands of a receiver; no application for any such receivership is pending; no petition in bankruptcy has been filed by or against Seller, and there are no claims, causes of action, proceedings, litigation or investigations pending or, to the best of Seller’s knowledge, threatened against or affecting Seller or the Property (including disputes with governmental authorities, utilities, contractors, adjoining land owners), and no basis known to Seller for the same, which, if decided adversely, would materially affect Seller’s ability to carry out the transaction or closing contemplated by this Agreement or would materially interfere with or prevent the use of the Property for its industrial purposes.
(x)
Neither Seller nor any person controlling Seller (i) is included on any Government List (as hereinafter defined); (ii) has been determined by competent authority to be subject to the prohibitions contained in Presidential Executive Order No. 133224 (September 23, 2001) or in any enabling or implementing legislation or other Presidential Executive Orders in respect thereof; (iii) has been previously indicted for or convicted of any felony involving a crime or crimes of moral turpitude or for any offense under the criminal laws against terrorists, the criminal laws against money laundering, the Bank Secrecy Act, as amended, the Money Laundering Control Act of 1986, as amended, or the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorists (USA PATRIOT ACT) Act of 2001, Public Law 107-56 (October 26, 2001), as amended; or (iv) to Seller’s knowledge, is currently under investigation by any governmental authority for alleged criminal activity.

(c)
If Purchaser or any Property Consultant becomes aware after Diligence Date but prior to Closing that any of the Seller’s Representations and Warranties set forth in Paragraph 7(a) or in any documents executed by Seller at Closing pursuant to this Agreement (collectively, the “Express Representations”) are not true and correct in any material respect, and provided that Purchaser had no knowledge of same as of the Diligence Date, Purchaser may deliver written Notice to Seller (detailing such materially incorrect warranty or representation) within two (2) business days of the date on which Purchaser obtains knowledge of the same. If, after Purchaser’s timely written Notice of the same, Seller is unable to render any such representation or warranty true and correct as of the Closing Date, Purchaser may either, as its sole and exclusive remedy: (1) terminate this Agreement by written Notice thereof to Seller and Escrowee, in which event, Escrowee
shall return the Earnest Money to Purchaser, and thereafter, except as otherwise specifically set forth in this Agreement, neither Purchaser nor Seller shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder; or (2) elect to close under this Agreement notwithstanding the failure of such representation and warranty. If Purchaser elects the option set forth in clause (2), the Closing shall be deemed a waiver by Purchaser of the breach of such representation and warranty, and Purchaser may not recover damages from Seller for such breach. Purchaser shall promptly give written Notice to Seller of Purchaser becoming aware of any breach of Seller’s warranties or representations set forth in this Agreement.
(d)
Subject to the provisions of Paragraph 7(c) hereof, the representations and warranties of Seller contained in Paragraph 7 (collectively, the “Surviving Representations”) shall survive the Closing for a period of nine (9) months after Closing (the “Survival Period”). If, prior to or as of the Closing, Purchaser has actual, and not constructive knowledge of any material misrepresentation or breach of warranty by Seller, the provisions of Paragraph 7(c) hereof shall control. Seller shall have liability to Purchaser for Damages with respect to the Surviving Representation only if (1) the Closing occurs, (2) as of the Closing, Purchaser had no actual knowledge of the applicable material misrepresentation or breach of warranty by Seller (each, an “Unknown Breach”), and (3) Purchaser gives written Notice to Seller within the Survival Period of the Unknown Breach and containing a reasonably detailed written statement of the basis for its claim for Damages and an estimate of Damages arising therefrom.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Purchaser shall be deemed to have actual knowledge of all matters included in (i) any Property Documents delivered by Seller to Purchaser and/or (ii) any reports relating to the Property which are prepared by any Property Consultant and delivered to Purchaser.
8.

Purchaser further represents to Seller that Purchaser has had, or will have prior to the Closing, a full opportunity to obtain all information that Purchaser believes is necessary and to perform all due diligence which Purchaser desires, and, except for Seller’s Warranties (AS DEFINED HEREIN), will rely solely upon Purchaser’s own investigations and not upon any information provided by or on behalf of Seller or any Seller Related Party with respect thereto in its determination to purchase the Property.

The foregoing disclaimer shall include, without limitation, the presence or absence, location or scope of any Hazardous Materials in, at, about or under the Property, the merchantability of the Property or any component thereof, or the fitness or suitability of the Property or any component thereof for a particular purpose. EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE SET FORTH IN THE LEASE, Purchaser waives, and Seller is relieved from, any obligation or duty that Seller might otherwise have to disclose any condition relating to the Property. At Closing, Purchaser shall assume the risk that adverse matters, including adverse physical and environmental conditions, may not have been revealed by Purchaser’s own investigations.
Except for Seller’s Warranties, Purchaser, for itself and ITS partners, members, managers, shareholders, directors, officers, affiliates, agents, contractors, and employees, and their respective successors and assigns (collectively, the “Purchaser related parties”), hereby releases Seller and the Seller Related Parties from, and waives all claims and liability against Seller and each Seller Related Party for or attributable to, the following: (a) any and all statements or opinions heretofore made, or information furnished, by Seller, Seller's Broker or the Seller Related Parties to Purchaser or any of the Purchaser Related Parties; and (b) except as expressly provided in this PARAGRAPH 9 and in the lease, any and all losses, costs, claims, liabilities, expenses, demands or obligations of any kind or nature whatsoever attributable to the Property, whether arising or accruing before, on or after the Effective Date and whether
attributable to events or circumstances which have heretofore or may hereafter occur, including, without limitation, (i) all losses, costs, claims, liabilities, expenses, demands and obligations with respect to the structural, physical, or environmental condition of the Property; (ii) all losses, costs, claims, liabilities, expenses, demands and obligations relating to the release of or the presence, discovery or removal of any Hazardous Materials in, at, about or under the Property, or for, connected with or arising out of any and all claims or causes of action based upon any Environmental Law for environmental contamination at, in, about or under the Property, oR MIGRATING ONTO OR FROM THE PROPERTY; and (iii) any tort claims made or brought with respect to the Property or the use or operation thereof. Purchaser, upon the occurrence of the Closing AND EXCEPT AS SET FORTH IN THE LEASE, for itself and the Purchaser Related Parties, shall be deemed to have released, acquitted and discharged Seller and the Seller Related Parties from and against any and all claims that Purchaser or any Purchaser Related Party might have asserted or alleged against Seller or any of the Seller Related Parties at any time by reason of or arising out of any physical or environmental conditions, violations of any applicable laws and any and all other acts, omissions, events, circumstances or matters regarding the Property.
Purchaser understands and expressly agrees that the releases set forth in this paragraph 9: (i) shall constitute releases of liability under environmental law as to the property; and (ii) are supported by separate consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are expressly acknowledgeD and confessed by purchaser.
The provisions of this PARAGRAPH 9 shall survive Closing or earlier termination of this Agreement.
10.

(a)
Seller shall have fully and timely performed all material obligations of Seller under this Agreement such that no default exists beyond any applicable notice and cure period;
(b)
If Purchaser finances the Price, and such financing is secured by a mortgage on the Property, and further provided that the draft SNDA is provided to Seller at least fifteen (15) days before Closing, Seller shall deliver a subordination, non-disturbance, and attornment agreement (“SNDA”) executed by Seller in favor of Purchaser’s lender, which SNDA shall be in a form reasonably acceptable to both Purchaser’s lender and Seller, but shall at a minimum provide that Purchaser’s lender shall not disturb Seller’s rights as tenant under the Lease so long as no event of default exists thereunder beyond any applicable notice and cure period.
(c)
Seller’s representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement shall be true and accurate in all material respects.

If any of the foregoing conditions has not been satisfied or waived by Seller prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall not have any obligation to sell the Property and consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, and Seller shall have the right to terminate this Agreement, whereupon the Escrowee shall deliver the Earnest Money to Seller. Following such payment being made, this Agreement shall terminate and the parties shall have no further liability hereunder, except with respect to those obligations which expressly survive termination of this Agreement.

14.

(c)
Real estate taxes and assessments levied or assessed against the Property for the tax year in which Closing occurs, shall be prorated as of the Closing Date, based upon the most recent ascertainable taxes, whereby Seller shall be responsible for all such taxes attributable to the period up to the Closing Date and Purchaser shall be responsible for all such taxes attributable to the period from and after the Closing Date. The proration of taxes shall be based on the latest data available and Purchaser and Seller agree to re-prorate if the tax bills for the current fiscal period are not available, which obligation will survive Closing. Seller shall be responsible for the payment of all real estate taxes and special assessments attributable to the Property and due and payable on or before the Closing Date.
(d)
The following shall be apportioned as of the Closing Date, whereby Seller shall be responsible for all such expenses attributable to the period up to the Closing Date,

All water and sewer charges based on the most recently issued bills, unless the meters are read on the date immediately preceding the Closing Date, in which case such meter readings shall govern;

17.
Possession. Except for Seller as tenant, pursuant to the terms of the Lease, or as otherwise set forth in a Permitted Exception, possession of the Property shall be delivered on the Closing Date free of any occupants or parties claiming any possessory interest therein.
18.
Destruction or Damage. If after the Diligence Date and prior to the Closing Date, the Improvements shall be destroyed or damaged in an amount in excess of $750,000.00 by fire, vandalism or other casualty, then Purchaser shall have the right and option to terminate this Agreement by giving Seller Notice to such effect, within the later of (i) twenty (20) days after the date of receipt by Purchaser of Notice from Seller of such fire or other casualty or (ii) five (5) days after the determination of the amount of such damages as provided in this paragraph. Should Purchaser elect to so terminate this Agreement, the Earnest Money shall be returned forthwith to Purchaser within five (5) days after Notice of such election, and thereupon the parties hereto shall be released from any and all further obligations hereunder, except as otherwise specified in Paragraph 31 hereof. In the event of fire, vandalism or other casualty causing damage in the amount of $750,000.00 or less, (or more than $750,000.00, if Purchaser does not so elect to terminate), then Purchaser shall not have the right to so terminate this Agreement and in such event Seller shall assign the interest of Seller in and to any insurance proceeds with respect to said damage to Purchaser, and Purchaser shall be given a credit against the Price in an amount equal to the amount deductible under the applicable insurance policies (less any reasonable sums expended by Seller for repair or restoration through the Closing Date). If the Closing Date is a date prior to the expiration of the time periods specified above, the Closing shall be delayed until Purchaser makes its election within the time periods specified above. Purchaser and Seller hereby irrevocably waive the provision of any statute that provides for a different outcome or treatment in the event the Property shall be taken or damages or destroyed by fire or other casualty, including, without limitation, the provisions of Texas Property Code §5.007.
19.
Condemnation. Prior to the Closing Date, if any proceeding, judicial, administrative or otherwise, which shall relate to the proposed taking of any material portion of the Property by condemnation or eminent domain or any action in the nature of eminent domain,
or the taking or closing of any right of access to the Property is instituted or commenced, Purchaser shall have the right and option to terminate this Agreement by giving Seller Notice to such effect within ten (10) days after actual receipt of Notice from Seller of any such occurrence or occurrences or the day prior to the Closing Date, whichever is earlier. Failure of Purchaser to give such Notice within such time shall be conclusive evidence that Purchaser has waived the option to terminate by reason of the occurrence of which it has received Notice, and Purchaser shall be credited with or be assigned all Seller’s right to any proceeds therefrom. Seller hereby agrees to furnish Purchaser Notice in respect to any such proceedings within forty-eight (48) hours of Seller’s receipt of any such notification of the institution of such proceedings. Should Purchaser elect to so terminate this Agreement, the Earnest Money shall be returned forthwith to Purchaser within five (5) business days after Notice of such election, and thereupon the parties hereto shall be released from any and all further obligations hereunder, except as otherwise specified in Paragraph 30 hereof. If the Closing Date is less than ten (10) days following Purchaser’s receipt of such Notice, then the Closing shall be delayed until Purchaser makes such election. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such proceeding by way of condemnation or eminent domain shall be insubstantial, Purchaser shall not have the right to terminate this Agreement but shall be credited with or be assigned Seller’s right to any proceeds therefrom. An “insubstantial” proceeding shall be one which (i) does not relate to the taking or closing of any right of access to the Property, (ii) does not materially inhibit the use of the Property for the current use, (iii) does not enable Purchaser’s lender to terminate its loan commitment to provide financing for Purchaser’s acquisition of the Property, and (iv) does not cause the Property to be out of compliance with any applicable law or License.
20.
Remedies for Defaults. If Purchaser defaults hereunder in any material respect prior to the Closing, and such default remains uncured five (5) days after Notice thereof from Seller to Purchaser, Seller shall have the right to terminate Seller’s obligations hereunder, Purchaser’s rights under this Agreement, and whatever interest in the Property is derived hereunder, by giving Notice of such election to Purchaser, in which event Seller shall be paid, and have the right to retain, the Earnest Money, which payment to Seller of the Earnest Money in respect of such default shall be Seller’s sole and exclusive remedy therefore (Seller and Purchaser each agreeing that the amount of said Earnest Money to be so paid to Seller under such circumstances is the mutually agreed upon amount of compensation to Seller for making the Property available to Purchaser on the terms and during the pendency of this Agreement, and that the payment thereof will not result in a penalty or forfeiture, and shall be in lieu of any other remedy or damages). If Seller defaults hereunder prior to Closing in any material respect and such default remains uncured five (5) days (or such longer period as is reasonably required so long as Seller is diligently pursuing a cure, but not exceeding fifteen (15) days) after Notice thereof from Purchaser to Seller in which the nature of the default is described with particularity, Purchaser may elect, as Purchaser’s sole and exclusive remedy, either to: (i) terminate Purchaser’s obligations hereunder by giving Notice of such election to Seller, in which event the Earnest Money shall be returned to Purchaser, and Seller shall reimburse Purchaser for Purchaser’s Costs in an amount not to exceed $1,000,000, or (ii) compel Seller to perform its obligations hereunder in accordance with the terms hereof through an action for specific performance, which action must be initiated, if at all, within thirty (30) days of such default; provided, however, that to the extent that specific performance is unavailable or impracticable due to the willful acts of Seller, then Purchaser shall be entitled to pursue any and all remedies available at law or in equity. Notwithstanding anything
herein to the contrary, in no event shall either Seller or Purchaser be entitled to collect from Seller any punitive, consequential or speculative damages.
21.
No Assignments; Binding Effect. Neither party shall assign this Agreement without the other party’s prior written consent, except that Purchaser may assign its rights hereunder, without Seller’s consent, to an affiliated entity (i.e. an entity controlled by or under common control with Purchaser), provided that Purchaser shall provide written Notice of said assignment and assumption prior to the Closing Date. Purchaser may not otherwise assign, transfer or convey any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement to any other party. Any entity to which this Agreement is assigned pursuant to this paragraph shall expressly assume all obligations of the party assigning this Agreement. No assignment of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement shall release Purchaser from its obligations under this Agreement.
22.
Real Estate Brokers. Each party represents to the other that it has not engaged the services of, or been assisted by, any real estate broker or sales person in connection with this transaction other than Seller’s Broker to whom Seller shall pay a commission in accordance with its separate, written agreement with said firm and Purchaser’s Broker to whom Seller shall pay a commission in accordance with its separate, written agreement with said firm. If any claims for brokerage commissions or fees are ever made against Seller or Purchaser in connection with this transaction by anyone other than Seller’s Broker or Purchaser’s Broker, all such claims shall be defended and/or paid by the party whose actions or alleged commitments form the basis of such claim, and the party whose actions or commitments form the basis of such claim shall indemnify and hold harmless the other from and against any and all such claims and demands with respect to any brokerage fees or agents’ commissions or other compensation asserted by any person, firm or corporation in connection with this contract or the transactions contemplated hereby.
23.

Each Notice shall be in writing and either: (a) hand delivered, (b) sent by overnight courier delivery service, (c) sent by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, or (d) sent by electronic mail transmission (to be effective upon transmission, provided receipt is confirmed or a copy of such Notice is sent in accordance with (a), (b) or (c) above).

24.
Governing Law. This Agreement shall be construed, and the terms hereof shall be enforceable, in accordance with the internal laws (as distinguished from the conflicts of law provisions) of the state where the Real Property is located, and in the event any legal proceedings are brought in connection with this Agreement, the parties agree that the venue therefore shall be only state and federal courts located in the state where the Real Property is located, and the courts to which an appeal therefrom may be taken.
25.
Expenses of Enforcement.

26.
Amendments.

27.
Non-Business Days. If any date herein set forth for the performance of any obligations by Seller or Purchaser or for the delivery of any instrument or Notice or for the satisfaction of any condition precedent, as herein provided should be on a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday, the compliance with such obligations or delivery or satisfaction of such condition shall be extended to the next business day following such Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday. As used herein, the term “legal holiday” means any state or federal holiday for which financial institutions or post offices are generally closed in the State of Texas for observance thereof.
28.
Construction of Agreement; Entire Agreement. Time is of the essence in the performance of this Agreement. This Agreement shall not be construed more strictly against one
party than against the other merely because of the fact that it may have been prepared by counsel for one of the parties, it being recognized that both Seller and Purchaser have contributed substantially and materially to the preparation of this Agreement. The headings of various paragraphs in this Agreement are for convenience only, and are not to be utilized in construing the content or meaning of the substantive provisions hereof. This Agreement supersedes all previous agreements between Seller and Purchaser pertaining to the Property, and this Agreement therefore constitutes the entire agreement and understanding of the parties hereto.
29.
Termination of Agreement Prior to Closing. The obligations of Purchaser under clauses (a) and (b) of Paragraph 5 hereof and under Paragraph 20 hereof shall survive, and be enforceable after, a termination by Purchaser of this by Agreement prior to Closing.
30.
Survival of Certain Provisions. The provisions of this Agreement, which expressly survive closing or termination of this Agreement, or which by their nature are intended to be performed or be applicable after the Closing, shall not merge in the deed of conveyance and shall survive the Closing (but only for the duration specified in Paragraph 7 with respect to the matters specified therein), and all other provisions of this Agreement shall have no further force or effect after the Closing.
31.
Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. To facilitate the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the parties may execute and exchange counterparts of the signature pages by facsimile or portable document format (PDF), each of which shall be deemed an original and admissible as best evidence for the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the parties hereto, and the signature page of either party to any counterparty may be appended to any other counterpart.
32.
Tax-Deferred Exchange. If Seller or Purchaser desires to structure the applicable transaction to effect a tax-deferred exchange under Section 1031 of the United States Internal Revenue Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder, as amended, then the other party shall cooperate with the structuring party in such effort provided (a) the structuring party pays all reasonable third party, out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the other party in connection therewith, and (b) no other party incurs any potential liabilities as a result thereof that would not otherwise have been incurred by the other party (e.g., by having to make any warranties under a deed).
33.
Exclusivity. From and after the Effective Date and continuing until this Agreement is terminated (for any reason), Seller will (a) cease any pending efforts to market the Property for sale, (b) not initiate any new efforts to market the Property for sale, and (c) not make any offer to sell the Property.
34.
Waiver of Trial by Jury. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EACH OF SELLER AND PURCHASER (A) AGREES NOT TO ELECT A TRIAL BY JURY WITH RESPECT TO ANY ISSUE ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY DOCUMENT DELIVERED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE PARTIES AS SELLER AND PURCHASER THAT IS TRIABLE OF RIGHT BY A JURY AND (B) WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL
BY JURY WITH RESPECT TO SUCH ISSUE TO THE EXTENT THAT ANY SUCH RIGHT EXISTS NOW OR IN THE FUTURE. THIS WAIVER OF RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IS SEPARATELY GIVEN BY SELLER AND PURCHASER, KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WITH THE BENEFIT OF COMPETENT LEGAL COUNSEL.
35.
Force Majeure. If Force Majeure shall prevent either Seller or Purchaser from consummating the transactions contemplated by the Agreement, Seller or Purchaser, as the case may be, shall provide written notice to the other of such Force Majeure not later than the Closing Date, in which event, the Closing Date shall be extended up to an additional five (5) days (the “Extended Closing Date”) to permit Seller and Purchaser to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Agreement. “Force Majeure” shall mean any act of God, strike, lockout or other labor dispute, shortage of labor or materials, earthquake, hurricane, flood, fire or other casualty, taking, civil commotion, riot, mob violence, insurrection, malicious mischief, sabotage, rebellion, act of public enemy, war, terrorism, epidemic, pandemic, invasion, embargo, governmental preemption in the case of national or local emergency security or health risk, including quarantine, or suspension of governmental operations, including the unexpected closure of service industries, including, but not limited to common carriers, financial institutions and title companies. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall Purchaser’s obligation to pay the Price at Closing be delayed or excused by Force Majeure.
36.
Statutory Disclosure Provisions. The following disclosures are made for the purpose of complying with specific statutory provisions of Texas law, and such disclosures are not intended to and do not alter or affect the rights and obligations of Purchaser and Seller:
(a)
Notice to Purchaser Regarding Restrictive Covenants. Pursuant to the Texas Local Government Code, if the governing body of a municipality has required any person who sells or conveys restricted property located within its jurisdiction to first give written notice to Purchaser of (1) the restrictions and (2) the municipality’s right to enforce compliance with the restrictions, written notice must be given to Purchaser on or before the final closing, and the notice document must be signed and acknowledged by both Seller and Purchaser, then recorded in the real property records in the county where the Property is located. The requirements and text of the notice may be found at 30 Tex. Loc. Gov’t Code Ann. § 212.155.
(b)
Storage Tanks Disclosure Provider.

The requirements and text of the notice may be found at Tex. Water Code Ann. § 49.452.

If the Property is located in a water or sanitary sewer district that entered into a contract with a city, other than a city with a population of more than one million in a county of more than two million, that allows the city to set rates in the district after annexation that are different from rates charged to other residents of the city, Seller at or before closing must deliver a separate written notice, executed and acknowledged by Seller, containing the information in this notice. Purchaser must sign the notice to evidence receipt. Tex. Water Code Ann. § 49.452(g)-(p) applies to this notice provision, including Purchaser’s right to seek damages if the sale or conveyance of the Property is not made in compliance with this statute. The requirements and text of the notice may be found at Tex. Water Code Ann. § 54.016(h)(4) and § 49.452(g)-(p).

If Escrowee does not receive a written objection from the other party to the proposed payment within ten (10) days after the giving of such notice, Escrowee is hereby authorized to make such payment. If Escrowee does receive such written objection within such ten (10) days period or if for any other reason Escrowee in good faith shall elect not to make such payment, Escrowee shall continue to hold such amount until otherwise directed by written instructions from the parties to this Agreement or a final judgment in court. However, Escrowee shall have the right at any time to deposit the Earnest Money and interest thereof, if any, with a court of competent jurisdiction in the State of Texas. Escrowee shall give written notice of such deposit to Seller and Purchaser. Upon such deposit, Escrowee shall be relieved and discharged of all further obligations and responsibilities hereunder.
38.

Escrowee shall have no duties or responsibilities except those set forth herein and Seller and Purchaser agree and acknowledge that Escrowee shall act hereunder as a depository only.
(b)
Escrowee shall be protected in relying upon the accuracy, acting in reliance upon the contents, and assuming the genuineness of any notice, demand, certificate, signature, instrument, or other document which is given to Escrowee without verifying the truth or accuracy of any such notice, demand, certificate, signature, instrument, or other document.

(d)
