4.4.1. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, IT IS UNDERSTOOD AND AGREED THAT SELLER IS NOT MAKING AND HAS NOT AT ANY TIME MADE ANY WARRANTIES OR REPRESENTATIONS OF ANY KIND OR CHARACTER, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WITH RESPECT TO THE PROPERTY, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, ANY WARRANTIES OR REPRESENTATIONS AS TO HABITABILITY, MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

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

4.4.2. Buyer hereby agrees that, if at any time after the Closing, any third party or any governmental agency seeks to hold Buyer responsible for the presence of, or any loss, cost or damage associated with, Hazardous Materials (as defined below) in, on, above or beneath the Real Property or emanating therefrom, then the Buyer waives any rights it may have against Seller, except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement, in connection therewith including, without limitation, under CERCLA (as defined below), and Buyer agrees that it shall not (i) implead the Seller, (ii) bring a contribution action or similar action against the Seller or (iii) attempt in any way to hold the Seller responsible with respect to any such matter. The

 

-8-


provisions of this Section 4.4.4 shall survive the Closing. As used herein, “Hazardous Materials” shall mean and include, but shall not be limited to any petroleum product and all hazardous or toxic substances, wastes or substances, any substances which because of their quantities, concentration, chemical, or active, flammable, explosive, infectious or other characteristics, constitute or may reasonably be expected to constitute or contribute to a danger or hazard to public health, safety or welfare or to the environment, including, without limitation, any hazardous or toxic waste or substances which are included under or regulated (whether now exiting or hereafter enacted or promulgated, as they may be amended from time to time) including, without limitation, the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980, 42 U.S.C. Section 9601 et seq. (“CERCLA”), the Federal Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, 42 U.S.C. Section 6901 et seq., similar state laws and regulations adopted thereunder.

4.5. Title and Survey Matters. Prior to the Effective Date of this Agreement, Seller has furnished to Buyer a title report or commitment issued by the Escrow Agent (the “Title Commitment”) with respect to the Property (with copies of all instruments listed as exceptions to title) and a copy of Seller’s most recent existing survey of the Property. Buyer agrees to take title to the Property subject to all matters set forth in the Title Commitment and survey. It shall be a condition to Buyer’s obligation to proceed with Closing that between the Effective Date and the date of Closing, no new survey or title matter shall have arisen which materially adversely affects the title to the Property or the use thereof, unless the same is discharged or endorsed over to Buyer’s reasonable satisfaction in Buyer’s title policy at Closing. Buyer shall notify Seller within three (3) business days after Buyer becomes aware of any such new title or survey matter to which Buyer objects, and if Buyer does not notify Seller of any objection within such three (3) business day period, Buyer shall be deemed to have waived any such objection and shall proceed to Closing without any credit or reduction in the Purchase Price as a result of such title or survey matters. Buyer shall not be entitled to object to, and shall be deemed to have approved, any liens, encumbrances or other title (A) over which the Title Company is willing to insure (without additional cost to Buyer or where Seller pays such cost for Buyer), (B) against which the Title Company is willing to provide affirmative insurance (without additional cost to Buyer or where Seller pays such cost for Buyer), (C) which will be extinguished upon the transfer of the Property, or (D) which are the responsibility of any tenant under the Leases to cure, correct or remove.

4.6. Tenant Estoppel Certificates. Seller shall request from each of the tenants at the Property, and promptly deliver to Buyer to the extent received, estoppel certificates (a) in the form of Exhibit D attached hereto or (b) in such form as is permitted by any tenant Lease (in either case, an “Estoppel Certificate” or “Estoppel Certificates”). For purposes of this Agreement, the “Estoppel Certificate Requirement” shall be receipt by Buyer of Estoppel Certificates duly executed by each of (i) WorleyParsons Group Inc., (ii) New York Life Insurance Co., (iii) Allen, Boone & Humphries, LLC and (iv) Permian Mud Service (collectively, the “Major Tenants”) and from such additional tenants representing, together with the Major Tenants, at least eighty-five percent (85%) of the leased square footage of the Property, and dated not more than thirty (30) days prior to Closing. An Estoppel Certificate shall be deemed to satisfy the Estoppel Certificate Requirement notwithstanding the respective tenant’s qualifying any statement or certification therein by a “best of knowledge” standard or similar provision and notwithstanding any other revisions thereon except to the extent the same are inconsistent with the Lease documents provided by Seller to Buyer and/or the representations of Seller contained herein.

 

-9-


4.7. SNDAs. As an accommodation and not a condition precedent to Closing, Seller shall cooperate with Buyer at no cost to Seller in order to obtain from tenants the form of Subordination, Non Disturbance and Attornment Agreement which may be required by Buyer’s lender (if applicable) signed and notarized by tenants, it being agreed that the failure to obtain any such agreements shall not excuse Buyer from its obligation to proceed to Closing hereunder.

5. Failure of Conditions. In the event Seller shall not be able to convey title to the Property on Closing Date in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or if the Estoppel Certificate Requirement has not been satisfied, Seller shall have the right to extend the Closing Date for up to thirty (30) days in order to provide additional time to satisfy the conditions precedent hereunder. In the event Seller shall not be able to convey title to the Property on the Closing Date (as the same may be extended) in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or if the Estoppel Certificate Requirement has not been satisfied, and in any such case Buyer has performed and is not in breach or default hereunder, then Buyer shall have the option, exercisable by written notice to Seller at or prior to Closing, of (1) accepting at Closing such title as Seller is able to convey and/or waiving any unsatisfied condition precedent, with no deduction from or adjustment of the Purchase Price, or (2) declining to proceed to Closing. In the latter event, except as expressly set forth herein, all obligations, liabilities and rights of the parties under this Agreement shall terminate, and the Deposit shall be returned to Buyer. The foregoing is not intended to limit the rights of Buyer in the event of a Seller default as set forth in Section 10.2 hereof.

6. Pre-Closing Matters. From and after the date of this Agreement and until the Closing or earlier termination of the Agreement:

6.1. Leasing Matters. Seller shall not, without the written consent of Buyer, which consent may not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed (i) effect any material change in any Lease, (ii) renew or extend the term of any Lease, unless the same is an extension or expansion permitted pursuant to the terms of an existing Lease, or (iii) enter into any new Lease or cancel or terminate any Lease. When seeking consent to a new or modified Lease, Seller shall provide notice of the identity of the tenant, a term sheet or letter of intent containing material business terms (including, without limitation, rent, expense base, concessions, tenant improvement allowances, brokerage commissions, and expansion and extension options) and whatever credit and background information with respect to such tenant as Seller customarily obtains in connection with similar leases of the Property. Buyer shall be deemed to have consented to any proposed Lease or Lease modification if it has not responded to Seller within three (3) business days after receipt of such information. Seller shall deliver to Buyer copies of executed versions of any such documents within three (3) business days after the full execution and delivery thereof.

6.2. Adjustment of New Leasing Expenses. Any tenant improvement costs, rent abatements, rent concessions or commissions under Leases or renewals entered into (i) from and after October 31, 2012 through the Effective Date, and (ii) from and after the Effective Date in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, shall in each case be apportioned between Seller

 

-10-


and Buyer as of the date of the Closing. Seller shall be responsible for the share of such costs attributable to the portion, if any, of the term of the Lease or renewal occurring prior to the Closing, and Buyer shall be responsible for the share of such costs attributable to the portion of the term of the Lease or renewal occurring after the Closing, with the cost of any tenant improvement, refurbishment rent abatements, rent concessions or commission under said Leases being amortized over the term of the Lease or renewal on a straight line basis. To the extent that said costs are the responsibility of Buyer, they shall be credited to Seller at Closing, if paid by Seller prior to Closing, or paid by Buyer, if due after Closing. To the extent that said costs are the responsibility of Seller, they shall be credited to Buyer at Closing, if not paid as of Closing, or paid by Seller prior to Closing.

6.3. Adjustments of Leasing Expenses. Any tenant improvement costs, rent abatements, concessions or commissions under Leases or renewals entered into prior to October 31, 2012, whether payable prior to or after Closing, shall be Seller’s responsibility and credited to Buyer at Closing if not paid by Seller prior to Closing. Tenant improvement costs, rent abatements, concessions or commissions under Leases or renewals entered into from and after to October 31, 2012 shall be subject to the provisions of Section 6.2 above. To the extent that any tenant terminates its Lease and pays a termination penalty pursuant to the terms of its Lease, the termination penalty shall be prorated between Buyer and Seller.

6.4. Termination for Default. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Seller may cancel or terminate any Lease or commence collection, unlawful detainer or other remedial action against any tenant without Buyer’s consent upon the occurrence of a default by the tenant under said Lease. Seller shall deliver to Buyer copies of all default notices and correspondence delivered to or received from any of the tenants in connection with the Leases after the Effective Date of this Agreement.

6.5. Operation of Property. Seller shall operate, maintain and manage the Property in the same manner and condition as Seller has in the past, including, without limitation, continuing repair and preventative maintenance and maintenance of adequate insurance with respect thereto.

6.6. Contracts. All Contracts affecting the Property (collectively, the “Assigned Contracts”) shall be assigned to and assumed by Buyer at Closing. From and after the Effective Date of this Agreement, Seller shall not enter into any new Contracts without the prior written consent of Buyer, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Buyer shall be deemed to have consented to any proposed new Contract if Buyer has not responded within three (3) business days after Seller’s request for consent thereto.

6.7. No Contracting for Sale of Property. Seller shall not enter into any contract or other written agreement for sale of the Property with any other party.

6.8. No Liens on Property. Seller shall not voluntarily create any liens, easements or other conditions affecting any portion of the Property without the prior written consent of Buyer, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

If any date on which the Closing would occur by operation of this Agreement is not a business day, the Closing shall occur on the next business day.

Buyer shall be entitled to all income and responsible for all expenses for the period beginning at 12:01 a.m. (Central Time Zone (U.S.A.)) on the date of Closing, except as set forth herein. If any Taxes

 

-14-


have not been finally assessed as of the date of Closing for the current fiscal year of the taxing authority, then the same shall be adjusted at Closing based upon the most recently issued bills therefor, and shall be re-adjusted when and if final bills are issued. If any Operating Expenses or CAM Charges cannot conclusively be determined as of the date of Closing, then the same shall be adjusted at Closing based upon the most recently issued bills thus far, and readjusted within 120 days after the end of the calendar year in which the Closing occurs or as soon thereafter as final adjustment figures are available. Buyer hereby agrees to assume all non-delinquent assessments affecting the Property, whether special or general, subject to proration on a per diem basis as of the Closing Date.

If Seller is presently prosecuting tax abatement proceedings, after the Closing, Seller shall continue to be authorized to prosecute such proceedings, and shall be entitled to its pro rata share of any such abatement proceeds. Buyer agrees after the Closing, to the extent reasonably necessary for Seller to continue to prosecute such proceedings, to reasonably cooperate with Seller, to pay its pro rata share of any costs attributable to such proceedings and also agrees to promptly endorse or pay over to Seller any abatement amounts for such years received by Buyer, less applicable costs incurred by Buyer. To the extent that such refunds are paid to Seller and are due to tenants, Seller does hereby covenant and agree that it shall, upon receipt thereof, reimburse tenants for their applicable share of such refunds.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, all reimbursable expenses shall be reconciled at Closing, such that if Seller has collected sums in excess of its reimbursable expenses under the Leases, Seller shall pay such excess to Buyer. In the event that such reconciliation shows that Seller has collected less than its incurred reimbursable expenses under the Leases, Buyer shall remit the shortfall to Seller, when and to the extent actually collected from tenants (with such collections applied first to amounts due with respect to the month in which Closing occurs, and then to any amounts due Buyer with respect to the period of time following the Closing, and then to Seller with respect to any amounts due to Seller with respect to the period of time prior to the Closing) not later than the expiration of one hundred twenty (120) days after the calendar year in which the Closing occurs with respect to the budgeting of such expenses under the Leases.

8.1.2. Rents. Except for delinquent rent, all rent under the Leases shall be prorated to the date of Closing on a collected basis. Delinquent rent shall not be prorated but shall remain the property of Seller. Payments received from tenants from and after the date of Closing shall be applied first to rents then due for the current period and then to amounts owed to Buyer with respect to periods following the Closing, and then to rents delinquent as of the Closing Date. Buyer shall use reasonable efforts to collect delinquent rents for the benefit of Seller, and shall cooperate with Seller in the collection of any delinquent amounts, but shall not be required to terminate any Leases or evict any tenants.

8.1.3. Charges under Assigned Contracts. The unpaid monetary obligations of Seller with respect to any of the Assigned Contracts shall be prorated on a per diem basis as of the date of Closing.

 

-15-


8.1.4. Security Deposits. The Security Deposits (together with any accrued interest thereon as may be required by law or contract) shall be credited to Buyer as of the date of Closing, and to the extent Seller has any Security Deposits held in the form of a letter of credit, such letters of credit shall, at Seller’s expense (to the extent not the responsibility of the tenant under the applicable Lease), be assigned to Buyer as of Closing.

8.1.5. Bankruptcy Distributions. Any portion of bankruptcy distributions (whether or not Seller has filed its proof of claim as of the date hereof) or payments pursuant to (i) settlement agreements (whether prepared by Seller’s in-house counsel or outside counsel), (ii) arrearage payment plans by letters signed by Seller or its agent, (iii) lease termination agreements, (iv) promissory notes, or (v) judgments (whether already obtained by Seller or which result from lawsuits or proceedings filed prior to the Closing) providing for the payment of specified sums, either in a lump sum or in installments, in all cases which are applicable to the time period prior to the date of Closing but payable after the date of Closing and actually received by Buyer, shall be payable to Seller.

8.1.6. Survival. The provisions of this Section 8.1 shall survive the Closing to the extent any monies may be payable pursuant to this Section 8.1 to either party subsequent to the transfer of title to the Property to Buyer. Any reimbursements payable by any tenant under the terms of any Lease affecting the Property as of the Closing Date, which reimbursements pertain to such tenant’s pro rata share of increased operating expenses or common area maintenance costs incurred with respect to the Property at any time prior to the Closing, shall, to the extent not capable of being prorated at Closing, be prorated upon Buyer’s actual receipt of any such reimbursements, on the basis of the respective share of such costs or expenses paid by the Seller and the Buyer during the period in respect of which such reimbursements are payable; and Buyer agrees to pay to Seller, Seller’s pro rata portion of such reimbursements within thirty (30) days after Buyer’s receipt thereof. Conversely, if any tenant under any such Lease shall become entitled at any time after Closing to a refund of tenant reimbursements actually paid by such tenant prior to Closing, then, Seller shall, within thirty (30) days following Buyer’s demand therefor, pay to Buyer any amount equal to Seller’s pro rata share of such reimbursement refund obligations, said proration to be calculated on the same basis as hereinabove set forth. It is agreed that adjustment billings to tenants for operating expenses, common area maintenance charges, taxes or insurance premiums for the accounting year in which the Closing occurs shall be billed by Buyer and shall be adjusted between Seller and Buyer based upon the respective percentages of the total related expenses paid by each of Buyer and Seller for such accounting year. To satisfy Buyer’s foregoing obligation to bill tenants for the full calendar year 2012, within thirty (30) days following Closing, Seller shall provide Buyer with general ledgers for calendar year 2012 through the Closing Date.

8.2. Closing Costs. Buyer shall pay any recordation, transfer, documentary stamp and other taxes and any recording costs or other charges imposed upon recordation of the Deed for the Property. Seller shall pay the title insurance premiums for Buyer’s base form title insurance policy (specifically excluding the deletion of survey coverage). Buyer shall pay all title insurance premiums for any extended coverage or endorsements required by Buyer on the title insurance policy, as well as for the title insurance premiums for any lender title insurance policy, and all survey costs, the costs of its due diligence studies and reports and any recording costs excluding those related to the release of any mortgage or liens created by Seller. Costs and fees of the Escrow Agent shall be divided equally between Seller and Buyer in an amount not to exceed $1,500. Seller and Buyer shall each pay the costs of its own counsel.

 

-16-


9. Damage or Destruction; Condemnation; Insurance.

If at any time prior to the date of Closing there is damage or destruction to the Property, the cost for repair of which exceeds Three Million Five Hundred Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($3,500,000.00) and the Property cannot be restored to its original condition prior to Closing, or if more than five percent (5%) of the rentable area of the Building is condemned or taken by eminent domain proceedings by any public authority, then, at Buyer’s option, this Agreement shall terminate, and the Deposit shall be returned to Buyer, and except as expressly set forth herein, neither party shall have any further liability or obligation to the other hereunder.

If there is any damage or destruction or condemnation or taking, regardless of the cost of any repair, and if Buyer elects not to terminate this Agreement as herein provided (to the extent Buyer is entitled to do so), then (1) in the case of a taking, all condemnation proceeds paid or payable to Seller shall belong to Buyer and shall be paid over and assigned to Buyer at Closing, and Seller shall be paid at Closing for the reasonable expenses actually incurred by Seller in connection with such taking; and (2) in the case of a casualty, Seller shall assign to Buyer all rights to any insurance proceeds paid or payable under the applicable insurance policies, less any costs of collection and any sums expended in restoration, and the Seller’s deductible shall be a credit to Buyer against the Purchase Price, and the parties shall proceed with the Closing without any reduction in the Purchase Price payable to Seller.

10. Remedies.

10.1. Buyer Default. In the event Buyer breaches or fails, without legal excuse to complete the purchase of the Property or to perform its obligations under this Agreement and such breach continues for five (5) business days after notice thereof to Buyer (provided, however, there shall be no such notice and cure period applicable to Buyer’s obligation to timely fund the Deposit or pay the Purchase Price or to close the transaction contemplated hereby on the Closing Date as set forth in Section 7.1 above), then Seller shall, as its exclusive remedy therefor, be entitled to receive the Deposit, plus all interest earned and accrued thereon, as liquidated damages (and not as a penalty) in lieu of, and as full compensation for, all other rights or claims of Seller against Buyer by reason of such default. Thereupon this Agreement shall terminate and the parties shall be relieved of all further obligations and liabilities hereunder, except as expressly set forth herein. Buyer and Seller acknowledge that the damages to Seller resulting from Buyer’s breach would be difficult, if not impossible, to ascertain with any accuracy, and that the liquidated damage amount set forth in this Section represents both parties’ best efforts to approximate such potential damages.

10.2. Seller Default. In the event Seller breaches or fails, without legal excuse, to complete the sale of the Property or to perform its obligations under this Agreement and such failure continues for five (5) business days after notice to Seller, Buyer may, as its sole remedy therefor, subject to the next paragraph of this Section 10.2, either (i) enforce specific performance of this Agreement against Seller, provided that any action for specific performance shall be commenced within sixty (60) days after such default, or (ii) terminate this Agreement and receive a return of the Deposit and be reimbursed by Seller for its actual and substantiated out-of-pocket costs and expenses in an amount not to exceed $100,000, it being understood that if Buyer fails to commence an action for specific performance within sixty (60) days after such

 

-17-


default, Buyer’s sole remedy shall be to receive a return of the Deposit (together with any interest earned thereon) and be reimbursed by Seller for its actual and substantiated out-of-pocket costs and expenses in an amount not to exceed $100,000. In the latter case, if requested by Seller in writing, Buyer shall deliver to Seller copies of all surveys, title commitments, engineering reports, environmental audits and other third party studies and reports generated by or for Buyer in connection with the Property except to the extent the same are proprietary to Buyer.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Buyer agrees that its recourse against Seller under this Agreement or under any other agreement, document, certificate or instrument delivered by Seller to Buyer, or under any law applicable to the Property or this transaction, shall be strictly limited to Seller’s interest in the Property, and that in no event shall Buyer seek or obtain any recovery or judgment against any of Seller’s other assets (if any) or against any of Seller’s partners (or their constituent partners) or any member, director, officer, employee, beneficiary or shareholder of any of the foregoing. Buyer agrees that Seller shall have no liability to Buyer for any breach of Seller’s covenants, representations or warranties hereunder or under any other agreement, document, certificate or instrument delivered by Seller to Buyer, or under any law applicable to the Property or this transaction unless the valid claims for all such breaches collectively aggregate more than Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars ($25,000.00) (the “Floor”), in which event the full amount of such valid claims shall be actionable, up to the cap set forth in the following sentence. Further, Buyer agrees that any recovery against Seller for any breach of Seller’s covenants, representations or warranties hereunder or under any other agreement, document, certificate or instrument delivered by Seller to Buyer, or under any law applicable to the Property or this transaction, shall be limited to Buyer’s actual damages, up to (but not exceeding) One Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($1,500,000.00) in the aggregate, and that in no event shall Buyer be entitled to seek or obtain any other damages of any kind, including, without limitation, consequential, indirect or punitive damages.

10.3. Escrow Holdback. At the Closing, Seller shall deliver to Escrow Agent an amount equal to One Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($1,500,000.00) in cash (the “Holdback Amount”) or instruct Escrow Agent to retain the Holdback Amount from the sale proceeds which would otherwise be disbursed to Seller (such cash, the “Holdback”). The Holdback shall be security for any claims made by Buyer with respect to Seller’s liability after the Closing Date for breaches of any Seller representations, and shall be held by Escrow Agent pursuant to the terms of an escrow agreement in form attached as Exhibit Q hereto (the “Surviving Escrow Agreement”). Seller, Buyer and Escrow Agent shall execute and deliver the Surviving Escrow Agreement at the Closing. Following the Closing and the funding of the Holdback Amount, Seller shall have the right to assign all of its right, title and interest in and to the Surviving Escrow Agreement in accordance with the terms thereof. Following final determination or settlement of the amount of any costs, liabilities, damages or expenses for which Seller is liable in respect of any breach of any Seller representations, Seller and Buyer shall jointly execute a written instruction to the Escrow Agent setting forth the aggregate amount in dollars of the applicable loss that the Escrow Agent is required to disburse funds from the Holdback. From time to time, the Escrow Agent will disburse funds from the Holdback to Buyer or Seller or its designee, as applicable, as Escrow Agent may be directed in joint written instructions of Seller and Buyer or as directed by court order. In the event that there have been no claims asserted by Buyer prior to the last day of the Survival Period (as hereinafter defined) (time being of the essence as to such date), Escrow Agent shall automatically disburse the Holdback as directed by Seller on the first business day

 

-18-


after the expiration of the Survival Period. In the event that there have been claims asserted by Buyer prior to the end of the Survival Period which in the aggregate (together with the amount of any previously resolved post-closing claims) are equal to or greater than the Floor but are less than the amount of the Holdback, then, upon the expiration of the Survival Period, Escrow Agent shall continue to hold an amount of the Holdback equal to the aggregate amount so claimed by Buyer, and the balance shall be disbursed as directed by Seller.

The provisions of this Section 10 shall survive the Closing.

11. Confidentiality. Buyer agrees to keep confidential and not to use, other than in connection with its determination whether to proceed with the purchase of the Property in accordance with Section 4.4 hereof, any of the documents, material or information regarding the Property supplied to Buyer by Seller or by any third party at Seller’s request, including, without limitation any environmental site assessment reports furnished to Buyer except to Buyer’s consultants on a “need to know” basis, and Buyer agrees to be responsible for damages to Seller caused by any breach of this provision by such consultant. In addition, prior to the Closing, Buyer shall not disclose the existence of this Agreement or of any of the terms hereof, or issue any press release or other information to the public regarding the transaction contemplated herein, except as may be expressly approved in advance by Seller. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer and Seller shall be permitted to make such disclosures as are required by the law, including the securities laws and laws relating to financial reporting. Buyer specifically acknowledges that the limited partner of Seller is a public reporting company with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. Buyer acknowledges that it is aware that the United States and other applicable securities laws prohibit any person who is in possession of material, non-public information about a company from purchasing or selling securities of such company or from communicating such information to any other person under circumstances in which it is reasonably foreseeable that such person is likely to purchase or sell such securities on the basis of such material, non-public information. Each of Buyer and Seller agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the other from and against any and all losses, damages, claims and liabilities of any kind (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of its breach of this Section 11. The provisions of this Section 11 shall survive the Closing or earlier termination of this Agreement.

12. Possession. Possession of the Property shall be surrendered to Buyer at Closing, subject to the rights of tenants under the Leases and to the other matters permitted pursuant to this Agreement.

13. Notices. All notices and other communications provided for herein shall be in writing and shall be sent to the address set forth below (or such other address as a party may hereafter designate for itself by notice to the other parties as required hereby) of the party for whom such notice or communication is intended:

15. Escrow Agent. Escrow Agent shall hold the Deposit in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement, subject to the following:

15.1. Obligations. Escrow Agent undertakes to perform only such duties as are expressly set forth in this Agreement and no implied duties or obligations shall be read into this Agreement against Escrow Agent.

15.2. Reliance. Escrow Agent may act in reliance upon any writing or instrument or signature which it, in good faith, believes, and any statement or assertion contained in such writing or instrument, and may assume that any person purporting to give any writing, notice, advice or instrument in connection with the provisions of this Agreement has been duly authorized to do so. Escrow Agent shall not be liable in any manner for the sufficiency or correctness as to form, manner and execution, or validity of any instrument deposited in escrow, nor as to the identity, authority, or right of any person executing the same, and Escrow Agent’s duties under this Agreement shall be limited to those provided in this Agreement. Upon receipt by Escrow Agent from either Buyer or Seller (the “Notifying Party”) of any notice or request (the “Escrow Demand”) to perform any act or disburse any portion of the monies held by Escrow Agent under the terms of this Agreement, Escrow Agent shall give written notice to the other party (the “Notified Party”). If within seven (7) days after the giving of such notice, Escrow Agent does not receive any written objection to the Escrow Demand from the Notified Party, Escrow Agent shall comply with the Escrow Demand. If Escrow Agent does receive written objection from the Notified Party in a timely manner, Escrow Agent shall take no further action until the dispute between the parties has been resolved.

15.3. Indemnification. Unless Escrow Agent discharges any of its duties under this Agreement in a negligent manner or is guilty of willful misconduct with regard to its duties under this Agreement, Seller and Buyer shall indemnify Escrow Agent and hold it harmless from any and all claims, liabilities, losses, actions, suits or proceedings at law or in equity, or other expenses, fees, or charges of any character or nature, which it may incur or with which it may be threatened by reason of its acting as Escrow Agent under this Agreement; and in such connection Seller and Buyer shall indemnify Escrow Agent against any and all expenses including reasonable attorneys’ fees and the cost of defending any action, suit or proceeding or resisting any claim in such capacity.

 

-21-


15.4. Disputes. If the parties (including Escrow Agent) shall be in disagreement about the interpretation of this Agreement, or about their respective rights and obligations, or the propriety of any action contemplated by Escrow Agent, or the application of the Deposit, Escrow Agent shall hold the Deposit until the receipt of written instructions from both Buyer and Seller or a final order of a court of competent jurisdiction. In addition, in any such event, Escrow Agent may, but shall not be required to, file an action in interpleader to resolve the disagreement. Escrow Agent shall be indemnified for all costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees in its capacity as Escrow Agent in connection with any such interpleader action and shall be fully protected in suspending all or part of its activities under this Agreement until a final judgment in the interpleader action is received.

15.5. Counsel. Escrow Agent may consult with counsel of its own choice and have full and complete authorization and protection in accordance with the opinion of such counsel. Escrow Agent shall otherwise not be liable for any mistakes of fact or errors of judgment, or for any acts or omissions of any kind, unless caused by its negligence or willful misconduct.

15.6. Interest. All deposits into the escrow shall be held by the Escrow Agent in an interest bearing account. All interest earned on the Deposit shall be deemed to be part of the Deposit and shall accrue to the benefit of Buyer except to the extent the Deposit becomes payable to Seller pursuant to Section 10.1. In such event the interest earned on the Deposit shall accrue to the benefit of the Seller.

16. Representations of Buyer. Buyer represents and warrants that:

16.1. Authority. Buyer is a limited partnership, duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware, duly qualified to transact business in the State of Texas, and has all requisite power and authority to enter into this Agreement and to perform its obligations hereunder. The execution and delivery of this Agreement by Buyer has been duly authorized.

16.2. No Conflict. The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereunder on the part of Buyer does not and will not violate any applicable law, ordinance, statute, rule, regulation, order, decree or judgment, conflict with or result in the breach of any material terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge, or encumbrance upon any of the property or assets of the Buyer by reason of the terms of any contract, mortgage, lien, lease, agreement, indenture, instrument or judgment to which Buyer is a party or which is or purports to be binding upon Buyer or which otherwise affects Buyer, which will not be discharged, assumed or released at Closing. No action by any federal, state or municipal or other governmental department, commission, board, bureau or instrumentality is necessary to make this Agreement a valid instrument binding upon Buyer in accordance with its terms.

16.3. OFAC Compliance. Buyer is in compliance with the requirements of Executive Order No. 13224, 66 Fed. Reg. 49079 (Sept. 25, 2001) (the “Order”) and other similar requirements contained in the rules and regulations of the Office of Foreign Assets Control, Department of the Treasury (“OFAC”) and in any enabling legislation or other Executive Orders or regulations in respect thereof (the Order and such other rules, regulations, legislation or executive orders are collectively referred to herein as the “Orders”).

 

-22-


Neither Buyer nor any beneficial owner of Buyer:

a) is listed on the Specifically Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons List maintained by OFAC pursuant to the Orders or on any other list of terrorists or terrorist organizations maintained pursuant to any of the rules and regulations of OFAC or pursuant to any other applicable Orders (collectively, the “Lists”);

b) is a person who has been determined by competent authority to be subject to the prohibitions contained in the Orders;

17. Miscellaneous.

17.1. Assignability. Buyer may not assign or transfer all or any portion of its rights or obligations under this Agreement to any other individual, entity or other person without first obtaining the prior written consent of Seller. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer may, without Seller’s consent but upon at least five (5) business days’ advance notice to Seller, assign its rights under this Agreement to an entity that is wholly owned, either directly or indirectly, by Parkway Properties, Inc. or Parkway Properties LP; provided, however, no such assignment shall relieve Buyer of its obligations hereunder. No assignment or transfer by Buyer will be permitted if such assignment or transfer would, in Seller’s opinion, cause this transaction to violate any provision of applicable law.

17.2. Governing Law; Bind and Inure. This Agreement shall be governed by the law of the State of Texas and shall bind and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors, assigns and personal representatives.

17.3. Recording. Neither this Agreement nor any notice or memorandum hereof shall be recorded in any public land record. A violation of this prohibition shall constitute a material breach entitling the non-breaching party to terminate this Agreement.

17.4. Time of the Essence. Time is of the essence of this Agreement.

17.5. Headings. The headings preceding the text of the paragraphs and subparagraphs hereof are inserted solely for convenience of reference and shall not constitute a part of this Agreement, nor shall they affect its meaning, construction or effect.

17.8. Survival. Unless otherwise expressly stated in this Agreement, each of the warranties and representations of Seller and Buyer shall survive the Closing and delivery of the deed and other closing documents by Seller to Buyer, and shall not be deemed to have merged therewith; provided, however, that any suit or action for breach of any of the representations or warranties set forth herein must be commenced within nine (9) months after the Closing (the “Survival Period”) or any claim based thereon shall be deemed irrevocably waived. Unless expressly made to survive, all obligations and covenants of Seller contained herein shall be deemed to have been merged into the Deed and shall not survive the Closing.

17.9. Use of Proceeds to Clear Title. To enable Seller to make conveyance as herein provided, Seller may, at the time of Closing, use the Purchase Price or any portion thereof to clear the title of any or all encumbrances or interests, provided that provision reasonably satisfactory to Buyer’s attorney is made for prompt recording of all instruments so procured in accordance with conveyancing practice in the jurisdiction in which the Property is located.

17.10. Submission not an Offer or Option. The submission of this Agreement or a summary of some or all of its provisions for examination or negotiation by Buyer or Seller does not constitute an offer by Seller or Buyer to enter into an agreement to sell or purchase the Property, and neither party shall be bound to the other with respect to any such purchase and sale until a definitive agreement satisfactory to the Buyer and Seller in their sole discretion is executed and delivered by both Seller and Buyer.

17.11. Entire Agreement; Amendments. This Agreement and the Exhibits hereto set forth all of the promises, covenants, agreements, conditions and undertakings between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersede all prior and contemporaneous agreements and understandings, inducements or conditions, express or implied, oral or written, except as contained herein.
