UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES MAY BUYER SEEK OR BE ENTITLED TO RECOVER ANY SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE, SPECULATIVE OR INDIRECT DAMAGES, ALL OF WHICH BUYER SPECIFICALLY WAIVES, FROM SELLER FOR ANY BREACH BY SELLER OF ITS REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES OR COVENANTS OR ITS OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT. BUYER SPECIFICALLY WAIVES THE RIGHT TO FILE ANY LIS PENDENS OR ANY LIEN AGAINST ANY PROPERTY UNLESS AND UNTIL IT HAS FILED AN ACTION SEEKING SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE.
(c) Upon Closing. If Closing is completed hereunder, Escrow Holder shall pay the Deposit to Seller as a credit against the Purchase Price.
(d) Upon Termination by Buyer. If Buyer terminates this Agreement as a result of Seller’s default or pursuant to the exercise of any right of termination permitted by this Agreement, upon the earlier to occur of: (i) receipt by Escrow Holder of written joint instructions from Seller and Buyer or (ii) entry of a final and unappealable adjudication determining which party is entitled to receive the Deposit, the Deposit shall be distributed in accordance with such written instructions or adjudication. Neither Buyer nor Seller shall in bad faith withhold execution of written joint instructions to the Escrow Holder authorizing release of the Deposit.
(e) Upon Termination by Seller. If Seller terminates this Agreement as a result of Buyer’s default or pursuant to the exercise of any right of termination permitted by this Agreement, upon the earlier to occur of: (i) receipt by Escrow Holder of written joint instructions from Seller and Buyer or (ii) entry of a final and unappealable adjudication determining which party is entitled to receive the Deposit, the Deposit shall be distributed in accordance with such written instructions or adjudication. Neither Buyer nor Seller shall in bad faith withhold execution of written joint instructions to the Escrow Holder authorizing release of the Deposit.

This provision shall survive termination of this Agreement.
3. Closing. The consummation of the purchase and sale of the Property (the “Closing”) shall take place on or before June 2, 2017 or at earlier date as mutually agreed to in writing by the parties (the “Closing Date”). The Closing shall be conducted through an escrow with the Escrow Holder, with escrow fees to be paid equally by Seller and Buyer. IT IS AGREED THAT TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE OF THIS AGREEMENT. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer shall have the option to extend the Closing Date by up to fifteen (15), provided that at least three (3) business days prior to the then-scheduled Closing Date: (i) the option is exercised by delivery of a written extension notice to Seller, and (ii) an additional TWENTY FIVE THOUSAND and 00/100 Dollars ($25,000.00) is tendered to the

Escrow Agent no later than 5:00 pm (Eastern) in which case such additional $25,000 shall be deemed part of the Deposit as defined above.
4. Inspection and Title Review.
(a) Inspection Period. Buyer and its authorized agents and representatives shall have the right to enter upon the Land and Improvements (including all of the apartment units, but subject to the rights of tenants under the Leases and in accordance with applicable law) at all reasonable times during normal business hours to inspect and conduct reasonably necessary inspections and tests on the Property at its sole cost and expense, including, without limitation, engineering and hazardous material inspections; provided, however, any intrusive physical testing will be conducted by Buyer only after obtaining Seller’s prior written consent. The right granted in the immediately preceding sentence may be exercised during the period commencing on the Effective Date and ending on the earlier to occur of the Closing Date or termination of this Agreement. Buyer shall bear the cost of all inspections and tests, and Buyer shall give reasonable notice to the management of any inspection or test to be conducted on the Property. Buyer hereby indemnifies and holds Seller and the Property harmless as to all loss, property damage, bodily injury, cost or expense resulting from Buyer’s inspections and tests of the Property, including, without limitation, claims for services rendered by third parties conducting such inspections and tests, but excluding any such amounts resulting from Buyer’s or its contractor’s mere discovery of pre-existing property conditions not caused by Buyer or its contractors. Buyer shall also restore the Land and Improvements to the condition in which the same were found before any such entry upon the Property and inspection or examination was undertaken. Such agreement to repair and restore, and to indemnify and hold harmless Seller shall expressly survive closing or any termination of the Agreement. Buyer shall maintain, or shall cause its contractors to maintain, public liability and property damage insurance insuring Buyer (and naming Seller as an additional insured party) against any liability arising out of any entry or inspections of the Property or work performed about the Property pursuant to the provisions hereof and shall deliver certificates of insurance evidencing such coverage to Seller prior to any entry by Buyer or its contractors on the Property.
(b) Document Review. Within three (3) business days after the Effective Date, Seller shall deliver to Buyer (or make available for inspection at the Property) copies of the items listed on Schedule 5(b) attached hereto and made a part hereof, but only to the extent such items are in Seller’s possession or control (collectively, “Documents”); provided that Leases shall be available for inspection at the Property only. Except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement, Seller makes no representations or warranties, either express or implied, and shall have no liability with respect to the accuracy or completeness of the information, data or conclusions contained in any information provided to Buyer, and Buyer shall make its own independent inquiry regarding the economic feasibility, physical condition and environmental state of the Property during the period beginning on the Effective Date and ending at 5:00 pm (Eastern) on May 3, 2017 (the “Inspection Period”) .
(c) Assignment or Termination of Contracts. Buyer shall assume all Contracts at Closing subject to this Section 5(c). Prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period, Buyer may advise Seller in writing of any Contracts that it elects to have terminated upon Closing and Seller shall provide timely notices of termination; provided, however, that Seller shall not terminate, and Buyer expressly agrees to assume, all Contracts that are not cancellable by their terms or which cannot be terminated without cost or penalty to Seller. At Closing, Seller shall assign and Buyer shall assume all Contracts that have not terminated as of the Closing Date, including without limitation, any remaining rights and obligations under Contracts under which the notice required to terminate such Contracts, though delivered, will not have run prior to Closing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all existing agreements for management of the Property shall be terminated as of the Closing Date.

(d) Right of Termination. If Buyer determines that the Property is not suitable in Buyer’s sole discretion, then Buyer may terminate this Agreement by written notice to Seller on or before 5:00 pm (Eastern) on the last day of the Inspection Period and this Agreement shall be null and void for all purposes (except for provisions that expressly survive hereunder) and the Deposit (less the Hard Deposit) shall be returned to Buyer. In the event that Buyer does not deliver notice of termination of this Agreement prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period, Buyer shall be deemed to have waived its right to terminate under this Section 5(d) and the Deposit shall be non-refundable to Buyer except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement.
5. Condition of Title.
(a) Commitment to Insure. Within three (3) business days after the Effective Date, Seller shall deliver to Buyer a copy of Seller’s Owner’s Policy of title insurance and Seller shall promptly order a commitment from the Title Company (the “Title Commitment”) to provide a standard owner’s title insurance policy for the Property in an amount equal to the Purchase Price (the “Title Policy”); and (ii) Seller shall deliver to Buyer a copy the most recent ALTA/ACSM Land Title Survey of the Property in Seller’s possession, if any (the “Existing Survey”). Buyer, at its option and expense, may obtain a new survey, or an update of the Existing Survey of the Real Property (the “Survey”).
(b) During the Inspection Period, Buyer shall review title to the Real Property as disclosed by the Title Commitment and, if obtained, the Survey and shall have the right, but not the obligation to make objections to same. If Buyer provides any title objections to Seller, Seller shall have five (5) business days to elect in writing whether to cure such objections or not to cure such objections, and if Seller fails to respond within such five (5) business day period, Seller shall be deemed to have elected not to cure such title objections. Except to the extent that Seller elects to cure title objections pursuant to the foregoing, Seller shall have no obligation to cure title objections except to satisfy and remove liens of an ascertainable amount created by, under or through Seller, which liens Seller shall cause to be released at the Closing or affirmatively insured over by the Title Company. Seller further agrees to remove any exceptions or encumbrances to title which are created by, under or through Seller after the Effective Date of this Agreement without Buyer’s written consent. Buyer may terminate this Agreement and receive a refund of the Deposit (less the Hard Deposit) after the expiration of the Inspection Period if the Title Company revises the Title Commitment after the expiration of the Inspection Period to add or modify exceptions in a material adverse manner, if such additions or modifications are not acceptable to Buyer and are not removed by the Closing Date provided Buyer delivers written objections to such matters to Seller. Seller shall execute at Closing an affidavit as to authority, the rights of tenants in occupancy and the status of mechanics’ liens (and sufficient to remove from the Title Policy any exception for mechanics’ liens filed against the Real Property which relate to any matters occurring prior to the Closing Date) in form acceptable to Seller as the Title Company shall require for the issuance of the Title Policy. The Title Policy may be delivered after Closing if that is customary in the locality. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Seller fails to cure any title matter required to satisfy and remove liens of an ascertainable amount created by, under or through Seller or to remove any exceptions or encumbrances to title which are created by, under or through Seller after the Effective Date of this Agreement without Buyer’s written consent, then Buyer shall have the right to terminate this Agreement and receive a refund of the Deposit (less the Hard Deposit).
6. Delivery of Possession. Actual sole and exclusive physical possession of the Property shall be given to Buyer at Closing unoccupied and free of any leases, claims to or rights of possession other than the rights of tenants under Leases by delivery of the keys to the Property and Seller’s special or limited warranty deed (the “Deed”) in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B, and Seller’s bill of sale in the form of Exhibit C to this Agreement duly executed by Seller (the “Bill of Sale”).

7. Apportionments. All property related items of income and expense, including but not limited to the following, shall be apportioned between Seller and Buyer as of 11:59 p.m. on the day prior to the Closing Date (the “Pro Ration Date”) as follows:
(a) Taxes. All real estate taxes, charges, and assessments affecting the Property (collectively, “Taxes”) shall be prorated on a per diem basis as of the Pro Ration Date, applying any discount for early payment applicable as of the Pro Ration Date, and on the basis of the actual fiscal year for which such taxes are assessed, and Buyer shall assume liability for payment of Taxes accruing in the year in which Closing occurs. In the event that the amount of Taxes for the current year is unknown at Closing, the Taxes shall be prorated based on the mill rate for taxes assessed for the immediately preceding year, taking into account the current appraised value for the Property issued by the County Appraisal District, and Buyer shall notify Seller of any necessary adjustment to such proration within thirty (30) days when correct tax figures are known, and thereafter any necessary adjustments shall be made by the parties in good faith. Buyer hereby acknowledges and agrees that Seller has or may file appeals (the “Appeals”) with respect to the current fiscal year and also with respect to prior year(s) ad valorem property taxes applicable to the Property (the “Appealed Taxes”). Seller shall be entitled, in Seller’s sole discretion, to continue to pursue such Appeals after the Closing Date. In the event that any such Appeal is successful in reducing the amount of Appealed Taxes payable with respect to prior years, Seller shall be entitled to the full amount of any rebate, refund or reduction resulting from such Appeal. In the event that any such Appeal is successful in reducing the amount of Appealed Taxes payable with respect to the current fiscal year, Seller and Buyer shall prorate the net proceeds of any rebate, refund or reduction resulting from such Appeal relating to the current fiscal year, after payment of Seller’s third party costs incurred in connection with the Appeal. This provision shall expressly survive Closing and the recordation of the Deed.
(b) Rents. Rents and other recurring income relating to the Property and collected by Seller for the month in which Closing occurs shall be deemed earned ratably on a per diem basis and shall be prorated as of the Pro Ration Date. Amounts collected by Seller prior to the date of Closing as rent for each day occurring after the Pro Ration Date and all other prepaid amounts shall be credited to the Buyer at Closing. All such amounts collected by Seller or Buyer from tenants or other payors after Closing shall be paid over and applied in the following order of priority: (i) first, on account of rents and other sums due to Seller and Buyer (and pro‑rated between them as of the Pro Ration Date) for the month in which Closing occurs; (ii) then, on account of rents and other sums due to Seller for any month prior to the month of Closing; and (iii) thereafter, on account of rents and other sums due to Buyer after Closing.
(c) Other. All normal and customarily proratable items including without limitation operating expenses, personal property taxes, minimum water and sewer rentals, payments due under the Contracts which are to be assigned to Buyer, prepaid license fees and other charges for licenses and permits for the Real Property which will remain in effect for Buyer’s benefit after Closing and municipal rubbish removal charges, shall be apportioned pro rata between Seller and Buyer on a per diem basis based upon a calendar year.
(d) Security Deposits. The total sum of all tenant security deposits currently held by Seller, together with all interest earned thereon as of the Closing Date, shall be transferred to Buyer at Closing by operation of a credit against the Purchase Price.
(e) Utility Meter Readings. Seller shall obtain readings of the water, electric, gas and other utility meters servicing the Real Property (other than meters measuring exclusively utility consumption which is to be paid in full by tenants under Leases) to a date no sooner than two (2) days prior to the Closing Date. At or prior to Closing, Seller shall pay all charges based upon such meter
6
6
readings, adjusted to include a reasonable estimate of the additional charges due for the period from the dates of the respective readings until the Closing Date. If Seller is unable to obtain readings of any meters prior to the Closing Date, Closing shall be completed without such readings and upon the obtaining thereof, Seller shall pay the charges incurred prior to the Closing Date as reasonably determined by both Buyer and Seller based upon such readings, and at Closing, Seller shall deposit with the Title Company an amount reasonably estimated to represent the anticipated obligation of Seller under this sentence.
(f) RUBS. In addition to any other prorations described in this Agreement, any ratio utility billing systems (“RUBS”) applicable to the Property, for the following categories of utilities and other reimbursements: (i) electricity, (ii) gas, (iii) water / sewer, (iv) trash, (v) pest control and (vi) other, attributable to the uncollected or trailing collections two calendar months prior to Closing will be reflected as a credit to Seller at Closing and will be calculated for closing purposes on the uncollected or trailing collections monthly periods based on the monthly average actual trailing RUBS for six months prior to Closing according to the income statements prepared by Seller and provided to Buyer. A subsequent cash adjustment of RUBS between Seller and Buyer will be made when actual figures are available, but in all events within 90 days after the Closing Date. Seller and Buyer each agree to provide such information as the other may reasonably request regarding RUBS and the billing, collection, and payment thereof. This provision shall expressly survive Closing and the recordation of the Deed.
(g) True-up. Subsequent to the Closing, if at any time during the 30-day period following Closing the actual amount of any pro-rated items that were based upon estimations at Closing, including without limitation, utilities and other operating expenses with respect to the Property for the month in which the Closing occurs, are determined, the parties agree to adjust the proration of utilities and other operating expenses and, if necessary, to refund or repay such sums as shall be necessary to effect such adjustment. For clarification, this Section 8(g) shall not apply to Taxes, Rents or RUBS which shall be pro-rated and paid under Sections 8(a), 8(b) and 8(f) respectively. This provision shall survive Closing and recordation of the Deed.
(h) Closing Costs. Seller shall pay (i) ½ of all escrow fees; (ii) premium for a basic TLTA T-1 owner’s policy(s) of title insurance; (iii) all costs, fees and recordation expenses relating to the release of any liens or encumbrances that Seller is required to cure pursuant to the express provisions of this Agreement and (iv) all of Seller’s legal costs and expenses. Buyer shall pay (i) title premiums for any endorsements to the owner’s policy of title insurance, together with all costs and premiums relating to any loan policy of title insurance and endorsements for the benefit of Buyer’s lender, if any (ii) cost of the Survey, (iii) ½ of all escrow fees, (iv) all other closing and recording costs with respect to the conveyance of the Property, (v) all costs, fees, recordation taxes and assessments with respect to any financing by Buyer, and (vi) Buyer’s legal costs and expenses. All other costs and expenses incurred in connection with the transaction contemplated hereby and not specifically allocated herein shall be paid by the party incurring the same. It is contemplated by the parties that no realty transfer taxes, including without limitation, any state or local transfer taxes or recordation charges, will be due as a result of this transaction.
(i) Up Front Payments. Any one-time inducement payments or other non-refundable fees, royalties or other payments made or paid to the owner of the Property under any Contract assumed by Buyer at Closing, including, but not limited to, any payments made to the owner of the Property under any cable agreement (“Up Front Payments”), shall not be apportioned pro rata between Seller and Buyer and Buyer shall not receive any credit from Seller at closing for any portion of any One-Time Payment attributable or allocable to any period of time from and after Closing.

(b) Buyer has full power, authority and legal right to execute, deliver and comply with this Agreement, and all actions of the Buyer and other authorizations necessary or appropriate for the execution and delivery of and compliance with this Agreement have been taken or obtained and this Agreement constitutes the valid and legally binding obligation of the Buyer enforceable against it in accordance with its terms; and the individual executing this Agreement and each of the documents executed in connection herewith on behalf of the Buyer has the power and authority to do so. This Agreement and all documents executed by Buyer that are to be delivered to Seller at Closing (i) are, or at the time of Closing will be, duly authorized, executed and delivered by Buyer, and (ii) do not, and at the time of Closing will not, violate any provision of any agreement or judicial order to which Buyer is a party.
(c) No consents are required to be obtained from, and no filings are required to be made with, any governmental authority or third party in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement by Buyer or the consummation by Buyer of the transactions contemplated hereby.

10
10
Foreign Asset Control (“OFAC”) of the Department of the Treasury (including those named on OFAC’s Specially Designated and Blocked Persons List) or under any statute, executive order (including the September 24, 2001, Executive Order Blocking Property and Prohibiting Transactions with Persons Who Commit, Threaten to Commit, or Support Terrorism) or other governmental action and does not, to its actual knowledge, engage in any dealings or transactions or be otherwise associated with such persons or entities.
(e) Buyer acknowledges that the Property may be subject to the federal Americans With Disabilities Act (the "ADA") and the federal Fair Housing Act (the "FHA"). The ADA requires, among other matters, that tenants and/or owners of "public accommodations" remove barriers in order to make the Property accessible to disabled persons and provide auxiliary aids and services for hearing, vision or speech impaired persons. Seller makes no warranty, representation or guarantee of any type or kind with respect to the Property's compliance with the ADA or the FHA (or any similar state or local law), and Seller expressly disclaims any such representation. Buyer acknowledges that it is solely responsible for determining whether the Property complies with the ADA and the FHA. The provisions of this Section 11(e) shall survive indefinitely the Closing or earlier termination of this Agreement and shall not be merged into the Deed or other closing documents.
(f) It is expressly acknowledged by Buyer that this transaction is not subject to any financing contingency and no financing for this transaction shall be provided by Seller.
(g) Buyer is a sophisticated and experienced Buyer of commercial properties including without limitation, apartment projects, and has participated in and is familiar with the acquisition, development, redevelopment, ownership, management, and operation of real estate projects similar to the Property. Buyer has or will have under the terms of this Agreement adequate opportunity to complete and will have completed all physical, financial, legal and regulatory investigations and examinations relating to the Property that it deems necessary, and will acquire the same solely on the basis of such investigations and examinations and the title insurance protection afforded by the Title Policy and not on the basis of any information provided or to be provided by Seller.
11. Operations Prior to Closing. Between the date of the execution of this Agreement and Closing:
(a) Operations and Management. During the pendency of this Agreement, Seller shall carry on its business and activities relating to the Property, substantially in the same manner as it did before the Effective Date. Seller shall maintain the physical condition of the Property in substantially its current condition, reasonable wear and tear and damage by fire and other casualty excepted.
(b) Compliance with Obligations. Seller shall comply in all material respects with the obligations of Seller under the Leases, the Contracts and all other agreements and contractual arrangements by which Seller and/or the Property are bound or affected. Seller shall maintain its current insurance policy in full force and effect and shall pay all required premiums and other charges. Seller will use best efforts to promptly provide Buyer with copies of any written notices of violations or potential violations of applicable laws, codes, rules or regulations that Seller receives from federal, state or local governmental authorities having jurisdiction over the Property or Seller and shall use best efforts to promptly provide Buyer with copies of any written notice of any litigation or written intent to file litigation relating to the Property or Seller that Seller receives.
(c) New Contracts; New Leases. Seller shall not enter into any contract for or on behalf of or affecting the Property unless such contract can be terminated upon thirty (30) days’ notice or
11
11
without charge, cost, penalty or premium, and, after expiration of the Inspection Period, shall not renew, fail to give a notice which, in the absence of which, will result in an automatic renewal of, modify, cancel or terminate any Contracts except in accordance with notices given by Buyer under Section 5(c). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, Seller may enter into new leases or renewal leases for all or any portion of the Property in accordance with its current leasing parameters and procedures.
12. Casualty.
(a) Destruction. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, Seller assumes all risks for damage or injury occurring to the Property by fire, storm, accident or other casualty or cause (a “Casualty”) until the Closing has been consummated. If at any time prior to the Closing Date any portion of the Property should sustain a Casualty, Seller shall promptly give written notice (“Casualty Notice”) thereof to Buyer, which notice shall include Seller’s estimate of the time and cost necessary to repair or remedy the damage caused by such Casualty. If the Property is the subject of a Casualty which is material, Buyer shall have the right, at its sole option, of terminating this Agreement (by written notice to Seller and Escrow Holder given within ten (10) days after receipt of the Casualty Notice from Seller) and in such event the Deposit (including the Hard Deposit) shall be returned promptly to Buyer. For purposes hereof, a “material” Casualty is one where the cost of restoring the Improvements to their condition prior to the Casualty will equal or exceed ten percent (10%) of the Purchase Price, or if time to complete any required restoration will take longer than 180 days, all in the mutual, reasonable and good faith estimate of Seller and Buyer, or if Seller’s lender refuses to release insurance proceeds in an amount sufficient to reasonably restore the Property affected by the Casualty. If Buyer does not terminate this Agreement, the proceeds of any insurance with respect to the Property paid to Seller between the date of this Agreement and the Closing Date shall be paid over to Buyer at the time of Closing (less any amount expended by Seller under Section 13(b) below) and all unpaid claims and rights in connection with losses to the Property shall be assigned to Buyer at Closing, and the amount of the deductible required to be paid under the Seller’s applicable insurance policy or policies will be paid to Buyer, without in any manner affecting the Purchase Price. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that Seller’s insurer has not reasonably acknowledged its agreement to release, and the estimate of, available insurance proceeds within ten (10) days after Buyer’s receipt of the Casualty Notice, the time period for Buyer to elect to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 13(a) shall be extended for up to an additional twenty (20) days in order for the parties to obtain such acknowledgment from Seller’s insurer, and if applicable, the Closing Date shall be extended to accommodate such time period.
(b) Repairs. If the Property is the subject of a Casualty, but Buyer does not terminate this Agreement pursuant to the provisions of Section 13(a) above, then Seller shall cause all temporary repairs to be made to the Property as shall be required to prevent further deterioration and damage to the Property prior to the Closing Date. Seller shall have the right to be reimbursed from the proceeds of any insurance with respect to the Property paid between the date of this Agreement and the Closing Date for the cost of all such repairs made pursuant to this Section 13(b). Except for the obligation of Seller to repair the Property set forth in this Section 13(b), Seller shall have no other obligation to repair any Casualty, damage or destruction in the event Buyer does not elect to terminate this Agreement pursuant to the provisions of Section 13(a), and in such event, Buyer shall accept the Property at Closing as damaged or destroyed by the Casualty.
13. Eminent Domain. If any condemnation or eminent domain (a “Taking”) affects all or any part of the Property prior to Closing, or if any proceeding for a Taking is commenced prior to Closing, or if notice of the contemplated commencement of a Taking is given prior to Closing, Seller shall deliver written notice of such Taking to Buyer and Buyer, to the extent such Taking is a Major Taking (as
12
12
hereinafter defined), shall have the right, at its sole option, of terminating this Agreement (by written notice to Seller within ten (10) days after receipt by Buyer of written notice from Seller of the Taking) and in such event the Deposit (including the Hard Deposit) shall be returned promptly to Buyer. For purposes hereof, a “Major Taking” shall mean a Taking of all or any portion of the Property which causes (i) a material reduction in the size of the Property or a material interference with the use and operation of the Property, (ii) a material reduction in the number of parking spaces available at the Property, (iii) a material adverse effect on the ingress and egress to and from the Property, or (iv) a material reduction in the gross income that it is anticipated will be generated at the Property. If Buyer does not terminate this Agreement, the Purchase Price shall be reduced by the total of any awards or damages received by Seller, and Seller shall, at Closing, be deemed to have assigned to Buyer all of Seller’s right, title and interest in and to any awards or damages to which Seller may have become entitled or may thereafter be entitled by reason of any exercise of the power of eminent domain or condemnation with respect to or for the Taking of the Property or any portion thereof.

14
14
without limitation reasonable attorney’s fees and court costs) asserted against or incurred by Buyer by reason of or arising out of any Lease, Contract, claim for damages or any other claim accruing prior to the Closing Date. The provisions of this Section 17 shall survive Closing and recordation of the Deed.
1. Confidentiality.

7. Texas Disclosures. By its signature to this Agreement, Buyer hereby acknowledges its receipt of the following notices at or before the execution of this Agreement:
(a) Notice Regarding Possible Liability for Additional Taxes. If for the current ad valorem tax year the taxable value of the Property that is the subject of this Agreement is determined by a special appraisal method that allows for appraisal of the Property at less than its market value, the Buyer may not be allowed to qualify the Property for that special appraisal in a subsequent tax year and the Property may then be appraised at its full market value. In addition, the transfer of the Property or a subsequent change in the use of the Property may result in the imposition of an additional tax plus interest as a penalty for the transfer or the change in the use of the Property. The taxable value of the Property and the applicable method of appraisal for the current tax year is public information and may be obtained from the Bexar County Appraisal District.
(b) Notice Regarding Possible Annexation. If the Property that is the subject of this Agreement is located outside the limits of a municipality, the Property may now or later be included in the extraterritorial jurisdiction of a municipality and may now or later be subject to annexation by the municipality. Each municipality maintains a map that depicts its boundaries and extraterritorial jurisdiction. To determine if the Property is located within a municipality's extraterritorial jurisdiction or is likely to be located within a municipality's extraterritorial jurisdiction, contact all municipalities located in the general proximity of the Property for further information.
(c) Property Located in a Certificated Service Area of a Utility Service Provider. The Property that you are about to purchase may be located in a certificated water or sewer service area, which is authorized by law to provide water or sewer service to the properties in the certificated area. If the Property is located in a certificated area there may be special costs or charges that you will be required to pay before you can receive water or sewer service. There may be a period required to construct lines or other facilities necessary to provide water or sewer service to the Property. You are advised to determine if the Property is in a certificated area and contact the utility service provider to determine the cost that you will be required to pay and the period, if any, that is required to provide water or sewer service to the Property.
(d) Notice Regarding District. If the Property is situated in a utility or other statutorily created district providing water, sewer, drainage, or flood control facilities and services, Chapter 49, Texas Water Code, requires Seller to deliver and Buyer to sign the statutory notice relating to the tax rate, bonded indebtedness, or standby fees of the district before final execution of this Agreement.
(e) Notice Regarding Coastal Property. If the Property adjoins or shares a common boundary with the tidally influenced submerged lands of the state, Section 33.135, Texas Natural Resources Code, requires a notice regarding coastal area property to be included as part of this Agreement.
(f) Lead Disclosure. If apartments or other residential units are on the Property and the units were built before 1978, federal law requires a lead-based paint and hazard disclosure statement to be made part of this Agreement.
