The Title Company shall invest the earnest money and the principal sum and any earnings thereof together with any additional deposit pursuant to Section 4 below, shall be collectively referred to as the “Earnest Money”. The full amount of the Earnest Money shall be applied against the Purchase Price at closing.

In the event one or more categories of Due Diligence Materials do not exist in Seller’s possession and are not readily available to Seller without undue expense, then Seller’s failure to deliver copies thereof shall constitute Seller’s certification to Purchaser that such Due Diligence Materials either do not exist or are not in Seller’s possession or are not readily available to Seller without undue expense.

At the same time, the Title Company shall deliver legible and complete copies of all recorded documents noted in the Commitment. If the Commitment discloses any Schedule B Exceptions which are objectionable to Purchaser, or if the Survey shows any encroachments which are objectionable to Purchaser, Purchaser shall notify Seller in writing (“Objection Notice”) within fifteen (15) days following receipt of the last to be delivered of the Commitment and copies of the Schedule B exceptions, and the Survey and Seller shall have the right, but not the obligation, to have the objectionable items specified in the Objection Notice removed from the Commitment or to have the Title Company commit to insure against loss or damage that may be occasioned by such exceptions. If Seller is unable or unwilling to remove or cause the removal of Purchaser’s objections, Seller shall have the right to so advise Purchaser in writing within five (5) days after Seller’s receipt of the Objection Notice (if Seller fails to so notify Purchaser, Seller shall be deemed to have elected not to cure or remove Purchaser’s objections) and, within five (5) days following Purchaser’s receipt (or deemed receipt) of any such written advice from Seller. Purchaser may terminate this Contract (“Title Termination Notice”). If Purchaser timely terminates this Contract, all Earnest Money shall be returned to Purchaser and the parties shall have no further obligations hereunder, except for such obligations which expressly survive any termination of this Contract.

7. Survey. Seller has heretofore delivered to Seller a copy of an as-built survey of the Property and the Memorial Hermann Property dated August 2017 prepared by Windrose Land Surveying as its Job No. 51497 (the “Survey”).

8. Prorations. Real estate taxes, expenses of operation and any other similar items shall be adjusted ratably as of the time of closing. Taxes for the year of Closing shall be prorated as of the Closing Date.

Current rents collected from Tenants under Leases shall be prorated for the month during which the Closing occurs (the term “rents” as used in this Agreement includes all payments due and payable by Tenants under the Leases). Real estate taxes for the calendar year of Closing shall be prorated as of the Closing Date.

Unpaid and delinquent rent collected by Seller and Purchaser after the Closing Date will be delivered as follows: (i) if Seller collects any unpaid or delinquent rent for the Property, Seller will, within fifteen (15) days after the receipt thereof, deliver to Purchaser any such rent which Purchaser is entitled to hereunder relating to the date of Closing and any period thereafter, and (ii) if Purchaser collects any unpaid or delinquent rent from the Property, Purchaser will, within fifteen (15) days after the receipt thereof, deliver to Seller any such rent which Seller is entitled to hereunder relating to the period prior to the date of Closing. Seller and Purchaser agree that all rent received by Seller or Purchaser will be applied first to rents that became due and payable during the calendar month of Closing, and second, to those which were due and payable after Closing, and third, to those which were due and payable prior to Closing. Purchaser will use commercially reasonable efforts after Closing to collect all unpaid and delinquent rents in the usual course of Purchaser’s operation of the Property, but Purchaser will not be obligated to institute any lawsuit or other collection procedures to collect such unpaid or delinquent rents. In the event that there shall be any rents or other charges under any Leases which, although relating to a period prior to Closing, do not become due and payable until after Closing or are paid prior to Closing but are subject to adjustment after Closing (e.g., such as year end operating and common area expense reimbursements and the like), then any rents or charges of such type received by Purchaser or its agents or Seller or its agents subsequent to Closing will, to the extent applicable to a period extending through the Closing, be prorated between Seller and Purchaser as of Closing and Seller’s portion thereof will be remitted promptly to Seller by Purchaser without reduction for any costs of collection or processing.

At Closing, Purchaser will be entitled to a credit against the Purchase Price for all cash security deposits held pursuant to any of the Leases (and any pre-paid rent thereunder if not then earned by Seller) and Seller shall deliver to Purchaser any non-cash security deposits thereunder, if any.

With respect to utilities which are not metered, charges for such service shall be prorated as of the Closing Date, based on charges for the previous billing period, and Purchaser and Seller shall receive credits or charges, as appropriate, with such amounts to be re-prorated promptly after the final bills are issued. Seller shall cooperate with Purchaser to effect the transfer of utility accounts from Seller to Purchaser.

  (b)

Purchaser shall have ten (10) days from receipt of written notice from Seller in which to elect to exercise its Purchase Right of First Refusal by written notice to Seller.

13


  (d)

If Purchaser declines or fails to exercise its Purchase Right of First Refusal within the ten (10) day period, then Seller may proceed to sell Pad F under the terms set forth in the Purchase Offer; provided, however, if the terms of the subject transaction vary (including any variance in the Purchase Price by more than ten percent (10%)) from those outlined in the initial notice to Purchaser, or if the subject transaction is not closed within two hundred seventy (270) days after expiration of the ten (10) day period referenced above, and Seller desires to proceed with said sale, then before closing said sale, Seller must first reoffer to sell to Purchaser Pad F prior to proceeding with the subject transaction.
