If the ad valorem taxes for the year of Closing are not known or cannot be reasonably estimated, taxes shall be estimated based on taxes for the year prior to Closing, and the proration based on such estimates shall be final and shall not be further adjusted except in the event of a reduction in value for 2015 based on the tax suit which Seller has filed to contest the 2015 ad valorem tax valuation with respect to the Property.  If such suit has been resolved prior to Closing, then Seller shall transfer to Purchaser, or pay directly to tenants, any reimbursements due to tenants as a result of any reduction in value resulting from such suit.  If such suit has not been resolved prior to Closing, Purchaser shall take over responsibility for such suit (with Seller paying any costs incurred prior to Closing and Purchaser being responsible for any costs incurred subsequent to Closing), and upon resolution of such suit, if there are any reimbursements or taxes owed to Seller, after payment of any amounts due to tenants, Purchaser shall pay to Seller any amounts owed to Seller.  If 2014 taxes are used as a basis for estimating taxes for the year of Closing, and are subsequently reduced as a result of such suit, then Purchaser shall pay to Seller any amounts owed to Seller for overpayment of 2014 taxes.  


Seller shall cause all utility meters to be read on the date of Closing and all utilities thereafter used shall be paid by Purchaser and all utilities theretofore used shall be paid by Seller.  All income and expenses (including Service Contracts) in connection with the operation of the Property, including service contracts, shall be prorated as of 12:01 a.m. Central Time on the day of the Closing Date (the “Adjustment Time”), as if Purchaser were vested with title to the Property during the entire Closing Date, such that Seller shall have the benefit of income and the burden of expenses for the day preceding the Closing Date, and the Purchaser shall have the benefit of income and the burden of expenses for the Closing Date and thereafter, but Purchaser shall not be entitled to the benefit of any front-end payments under any cable or similar contracts. If it is not possible to have meters read on the Closing Date, Purchaser and Seller will prorate estimates and true up such prorations when actual bills are available.  Seller will keep its utility accounts open until Purchaser can post deposits, if required and set up its own utility accounts with the utility providers.  All utility costs accrued after closing will be paid by Purchaser.


Rents and all other amounts payable by the tenants under the Leases (“Rents”) collected as of Closing shall be prorated.  Subsequent to the Closing, if any rents and other amounts are received by Purchaser, all such amounts shall be applied in the following order:  (1) first to Purchaser to the extent of rent and other amounts accruing after Closing, and (2) next to Seller to the extent of rent and other amounts accruing prior to Closing; and (3) the balance to Purchaser.  The amounts received by Purchaser that are to be applied to periods prior to Closing shall be delivered by Purchaser to Seller within ten (10) days after receipt.  Any amounts received by Seller subsequent to the Closing shall be delivered by Seller to Purchaser within ten (10) days after receipt.  For a period of six (6) months following the Closing, Purchaser agrees to provide Seller with reasonable access to Purchaser’s books, records and accounts relating to the operation of the Property in order that Seller may verify compliance with the preceding terms and provisions of this Section 8.B(iii).  With respect to common area maintenance, taxes, insurance and any other “pass-through” expenses attributable to the calendar year of Closing, Purchaser shall make a good faith effort to attempt to collect the same for Seller’s benefit after Closing in the usual course of business of operation of commercial property

similar to the Property.  Commencing six (6) months after Closing, Purchaser hereby authorizes Seller to pursue collection of the same from the tenants after Closing; provided, however, Seller shall not have the right to pursue eviction of tenants in its collection efforts.  Seller’s share of any such sums shall be remitted to Seller within ten (10) days after receipt by Purchaser, such that all common area costs, maintenance charges, taxes, insurance charges and any other “pass-through” expenses of any nature actually paid by tenant under the Leases and received by Purchaser shall be paid to Seller.  Purchaser shall have no responsibility to make any payment to Seller except as to sums actually collected and received by Purchaser, and shall have no liability for failure to collect any sums so long as Purchaser makes a good faith effort in attempts to collect the same in the usual course of business of operation of commercial property similar to the Property.


All lease commissions and any tenant improvement expenses for leases entered into prior to the Effective Date shall be paid for by Seller on or before Closing (except with respect to leasing commissions and tenant improvements for any lease extensions or expansions exercised subsequent to the Effective Date, which will be paid by Purchaser).  All lease commissions and any tenant improvement expenses for leases entered into after the Effective Date shall be paid for by Purchaser; provided that Purchaser has approved such leases in accordance with Section 6. C. v.


If final prorations cannot be made at Closing for any item being prorated, then Purchaser and Seller agree to reallocate such items on a fair and equitable basis as soon as invoices or bills are available and applicable reconciliation with tenants have been completed. Upon Purchaser’s prior written request, for a period of two (2) years following the Closing, Seller shall make Seller’s books and records available to Purchaser during normal business hours for inspection, copying and audit by Purchaser’s designated accountants, at Purchaser’s expense, in order to comply with any Securities and Exchange Commission requirements related to Rule 3-14 of Regulation S-X.  In no event shall Seller incur any liability whatsoever in conjunction with any related audit.


C.

Closing Costs. Seller shall pay all costs for the Title Commitment, the standard Title Policy, and one-half of the escrow or closing fee charged by the Escrow Agent or the Title Company.


The premiums for any endorsements and the premium for modification of the area and boundaries exception to the Title Policy shall be at the expense of Purchaser. One-half of the closing fee shall be paid by Purchaser.  Purchaser shall pay the fee for the recording of the Deed. Seller shall pay any transfer or other tax for the recording of the Deed.  Except as otherwise provided in Section 7.B, each party shall be responsible for the payment of its own attorneys’ fees incurred in connection with the transaction which is the subject of this Agreement.  Purchaser shall pay all costs incurred in connection with Purchaser’s obtaining a new survey or updating or recertifying the Survey to the extent such costs exceed the TWO THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED AND NO/100 U.S. DOLLARS ($2,500.00) to be paid by Seller at Closing.


D.

Real Estate Commissions. No commission shall be earned, due, owing or payable if this Agreement is terminated or fails to close for any reason, including, but not limited to, the default of either Seller or Purchaser. Upon Closing, Seller shall pay a real estate



PSA- Corporate Park Place

commission to Collier’s International North Texas LLC (“Seller’s Broker”) pursuant to a separate agreement between Seller and Seller’s Broker.  In accordance with the Real Estate License Act of Texas, Purchaser is advised that Purchaser should have the abstract covering the Land examined by an attorney of Purchaser’s selection or be furnished with or obtain a policy of title insurance. Seller and Purchaser each represent and warrant to the other that, except as set forth herein, no real estate brokerage commission is payable to any person or entity in connection with the transaction contemplated hereby, and each agrees to and does hereby indemnify and hold the other harmless against the payment of any commission to any person or entity.

F.

Place of Performance.  This Agreement is made and shall be performable in Dallas County, Texas, and shall be construed in accordance with the laws of Texas.  


G.

Paragraph Headings.  The paragraph headings contained in this Agreement are for convenience only and shall in no way enlarge or limit the scope or meaning of the various and several paragraphs hereof.


H.

Condemnation.  If, prior to Closing, any governmental authority or other entity having condemnation authority shall institute an eminent domain proceeding or take any steps preliminary thereto (including the giving of any direct or indirect notice of intent to institute such proceedings) with regard to the Property, and the same is not dismissed on or before ten (10) days prior to Closing, Purchaser, as its sole remedy, shall be entitled either to terminate this Agreement upon written notice to Seller or to waive such right of termination and receive all such condemnation proceeds. In the event of a termination of this Agreement, the Earnest Money shall be refunded by the Title Company to Purchaser and neither party shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, any eminent domain proceedings instituted (or of which notice shall be given) solely for the taking of any subsurface rights for utility easements or for any right-of-way easement, if in Purchaser’s reasonable opinion the surface may, after such taking, be used in the same manner as though such rights had not been taken, shall not entitle Purchaser to terminate this Agreement as to any part of the Property, but any award resulting therefrom shall be the exclusive property of Purchaser upon Closing. In the event Purchaser elects to terminate this Agreement under this Section 9.H, the Title Company shall forthwith return to Purchaser the Earnest Money and neither party to this Agreement shall thereafter have any further rights or obligations hereunder.


I.

Risk of Loss.  Until Closing, Seller alone shall bear the risk of loss should there be damage to any of the Improvements by fire or other casualty. If prior to the Closing any of the Improvements shall be damaged by fire or other casualty, Seller shall take all action necessary to preserve and protect the Improvements from further loss or damage and, within ten (10) business days after such loss, deliver to Purchaser a detailed written description of the damages incurred and an estimate of the cost of restoration (“Casualty Loss Information”). If the Improvements are materially damaged (as hereinafter defined), Purchaser may, within fifteen (15) days after delivery of the Casualty Loss Information, either: (a) terminate this Agreement by delivering written notice of same to Seller or (b) waive its rights of termination and proceed to close this transaction in accordance with the terms hereof. At Purchaser’s election, the Closing shall be tolled as necessary to allow for such ten (10) business days and fifteen (15) day periods to occur prior to Closing.  If Purchaser waives its right of termination, all casualty insurance proceeds payable as a result of the loss and Purchaser’s pro rata share of any rental or business loss proceeds shall be assigned to Purchaser at Closing and Purchaser shall be credited the amount of the applicable deductible and any uninsured loss. In case of such loss and Purchaser’s waiver of its right to terminate, Purchaser may notify all appropriate insurance companies of its interest in the insurance proceeds. “Material damage” is defined as damage to the Improvements of such nature that the cost of restoring the same to its condition prior to the fire or other casualty in full compliance with all applicable building and zoning laws, ordinances, and regulations will exceed $250,000.00, whether or not such damage is covered by insurance. If the parties fail to



PSA- Corporate Park Place

17


agree on the amount of the cost of such restoration, the amount thereof shall be determined by the majority vote of an engineer designated by Purchaser, an engineer designated by Seller and an engineer designated by the engineers selected by the parties. All engineers shall be registered professional engineers pursuant to the laws of Texas. In the event of damage to the Property of $250,000.00 or less, Purchaser shall close in accordance with the terms hereof and without any reduction in the Purchase Price. At Closing (i) Seller shall assign its rights to the insurance proceeds to Purchaser and (ii) Purchaser shall receive a credit against the Purchase Price in the amount of Seller’s deductible under such insurance policies and any uninsured loss. In the event Purchaser elects to terminate this Agreement under this Section 9.I, Title Company shall return to Purchaser the Earnest Money and neither party to this Agreement shall thereafter have any further rights or obligations hereunder.


J.

Obligations.  To the extent necessary to carry out the terms and provisions hereof, the terms, conditions, warranties, representations, obligations and rights set forth herein shall not be deemed terminated at the time of Closing, nor will they merge into the various documents executed and delivered at the time of Closing, and they shall survive for a period of six (6) months from the date of Closing.


K.

Assignment.  This Agreement may not be assigned by Purchaser without Seller’s consent, except to an entity wholly-owned or controlled by Purchaser.  Purchaser may assign this Agreement to an Affiliate without Seller's prior consent.  For the purposes of this paragraph, the term “Affiliate” means (a) an entity that directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by or is under common control with the Purchaser or its stockholders or (b) an entity at least a majority of whose economic interest is owned by Purchaser or its stockholders; and the term "control" means the power to direct the management of such entity through voting rights, ownership or contractual obligations.  Such entity shall be required to assume the obligations of Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement, but in the event of such assignment, Purchaser shall not be released from liability under this Agreement.


L.

Dates for Performance. If the date of performance of any obligation falls on a day that is a Saturday, Sunday or Federal legal holiday, then the date of such performance shall be extended to the first day following such date that is not a Saturday, Sunday or Federal legal holiday.


M.

P.

Exculpation of Seller.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or in any Exhibits attached hereto or in any closing documents, it is expressly understood and agreed by and between the parties hereto that: (i) the recourse of Purchaser or its successors or assigns against Seller with respect to the alleged breach by or on the part of Seller of any representation, warranty, covenant, undertaking, indemnity or agreement contained in this Agreement (collectively, “Seller’s Undertakings”) shall (x) be deemed waived unless Purchaser has delivered to Seller written notice that Purchaser is seeking recourse under Seller’s Undertakings (the “Recourse Notice”) after the Closing Date but prior to the date that is six (6) months after the Closing Date and Purchaser has filed suit with respect to the same within eight (8) months after Closing, (y) be limited to an amount not to exceed $250,000.00 in the aggregate of all recourse of Purchaser under this Agreement or any one or more of the Closing Documents, and (z) be applicable only if the aggregate of all recourse of Purchaser under all such claims by Purchaser under this Agreement shall exceed $2,000 (subject to the $250,000.00 maximum as aforesaid); (ii) no personal liability or personal responsibility of any sort with respect to any of Seller’s Undertakings or any alleged breach thereof is assumed by, or shall at any time be asserted or enforceable against, Seller or the Seller’s property manager, or against any of their respective shareholders, directors, officers, employees, agents, constituent partners, members, beneficiaries, trustees or representatives except as expressly provided in (i) above with respect to Seller (except to the extent of sale proceeds received by them); and (iii) in no event shall Seller be liable to the Purchaser for any punitive, speculative or consequential damages.  The provisions of this Section 9.P shall survive Closing or any termination of this Agreement.


Q.

Severability.  If any portion of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, invalid, or unenforceable under present or future laws effective during the term of this Agreement, the remainder of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall not be affected thereby, and in lieu of each such illegal, invalid or unenforceable portion of the Agreement there shall be added automatically as a part of this Agreement a provision or clause as close in meaning to such illegal, invalid or unenforceable portion as may be possible and be legal, valid, and enforceable.
