(4) Conflicts. There is no agreement to which Purchaser is a party or, to Purchaser’s knowledge, that is binding on Purchaser which is in conflict with this Agreement or which would limit or restrict the timely performance by Purchaser of its obligations pursuant to this Agreement.
(c)Covenants of Seller. Seller covenants and agrees that during the period from the date of this Agreement through and including the Closing Date:
(1) Seller will timely pay and perform its obligations in all material respects under the Leases and Assumed Service Contracts to be assumed by Purchaser pursuant hereto.
(2) Following the date that is two (2) business days prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, Seller will not enter into any contract (other than new Leases entered into in accordance with this Section 6(c)) that will be an obligation affecting the Property subsequent to the Closing Date except for contracts entered into in the ordinary course of business that are terminable without cause and without payment of a penalty on not more than 30-days’ notice. Promptly after receipt by Seller of a written request from Purchaser (which shall not be made more than one time after the Effective Date), Seller shall deliver or make available to Purchaser (a) an updated Rent Roll, and (b) copies of any new Service Contracts and/or Leases entered into after the Effective Date.
(3) Following the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, Seller shall not, without Purchaser’s prior written consent, enter into any new Lease or renew (except for any renewals that become month-to-month leases for not more than five percent (5%) of the units at the Property) or extend any existing Lease (unless tenant has such right in its existing lease), unless the Lease is on Seller’s standard form, is for a period of not less than six (6) months and not more than fifteen (15) months, and at rental rates and containing only such tenant concessions as are consistent with Seller’s current practices.
(4) Seller will not remove any Personal Property from the Premises except as may be required for necessary repair or replacement, and in the event of such replacement, the replacement shall be of materially equal or better quality and quantity as existed as of the time of its removal.
(5) Seller will continue to operate and maintain the Premises in accordance with Seller’s past practices; provided, however, that Seller shall not be required to make any capital expenditures in maintaining and operating the Premises, except consistent with Seller’s current practices to the extent necessary to protect life, safety and/or
6
health. Seller shall maintain in existence all licenses, permits and approvals that are now in existence with respect to, and are required for, the ownership and operation of the Premises and are of a continuing nature, if there are any that exist on the date hereof. Seller shall, or shall cause its property manager to operate and maintain the Property in accordance with Seller’s then current policies and procedures based on the guidance provided by the multi-family industry and the local laws, as modified by Seller from time to time, in response to the Covid-19 pandemic.
(6) Seller will maintain casualty insurance of a level and type consistent with the insurance maintained by Seller prior to the execution of this Agreement with respect to the Premises.
(7) After receipt of the Title Commitment, Seller will not do anything, nor authorize anything to be done, which would materially and adversely affect the condition of title as shown on the Title Commitment.
(8) Seller will terminate any terminable Service Contract that Purchaser, by written notice to Seller before the date that is two (2) business days prior to the end of the Due Diligence Period, requests Seller to terminate, provided, however, that Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that (i) all costs and expenses associated with any such termination shall be paid by Purchaser, (ii) any such termination may be conditioned on the completion of the Closing and (iii) any such termination shall be effective only after the end of any notice or grace period specified in the applicable Service Contract (which may not occur until after the Closing),
Any and all Service Contracts not fully and effectively terminated as of Closing as well as those that Purchaser is required to assume shall be assumed by Purchaser at Closing and shall be deemed an “Assumed Service Contract.” Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, Seller may elect to not assign any Service Contract that is a national or “portfolio” contract.
(9) At Closing all rental units vacant for more than five (5) business days prior to Closing shall be delivered to Purchaser in “rent-ready” condition in accordance with Seller’s normal standard operating procedure. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Seller fails to, or elects not to, deliver any such vacant unit in rent-ready condition, Seller shall provide Purchaser with a Five Hundred and No/100 Dollar ($500.00) credit per such vacant unit at Closing.
(d)Representation and Warranties Prior to Closing. The continued validity in all material respects of the foregoing representations and warranties shall be a condition precedent to the obligation of the party to whom the representation and warranty is given to close this transaction. If any of Seller’s representations and warranties shall not be true and correct at any time on or before the Closing in any material respect whether or not true and correct as of the Effective Date or whether any change in facts or circumstances has made the applicable representation and warranty no longer true and correct and regardless as to whether Purchaser becomes aware of such fact through Seller’s notification or otherwise, then Purchaser may, at Purchaser’s option, exercised by written notice to Seller (and as its sole and exclusive remedies), either (i) proceed with this transaction, accepting the applicable representation and warranty as being modified by such subsequent matters or knowledge and waiving any right relating thereto, if any, or (ii) only in the event such representation or warranty is no longer true and correct in any material and adverse respect, terminate this Agreement and declare this Agreement of no further force and effect and in which event the Earnest Money shall promptly be returned to Purchaser and Seller shall have no further liability hereunder by reason thereof. Seller shall have the right to update any of the representations, if necessary, in order to make the same true and correct as of the Closing Date by written instrument delivered to Purchaser at Closing setting forth such changes to factual matters. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary contained in this Section 6(d), Purchaser shall only be entitled to pursue the remedies afforded to Purchaser under Section 18 hereof (other than the termination of this Agreement and return of the Earnest Money, which is permitted as set forth above without the foregoing conditions) in the event any of Seller’s representations or warranties was untrue in any material respect on the date of this Agreement or became untrue, incomplete, or inaccurate in any material respect prior to Closing, due to the acts or omission of Seller; provided, however, Purchaser shall not be permitted to make a claim under Section 18 with respect to any breach of a representation or warranty caused by the act or omission of Seller to the extent that Chris Milner, representative of Purchaser, had actual knowledge of such breach prior to the Closing Date and fails to notify Seller of such breach within ten (10) days of obtaining knowledge thereof.

Such examination shall be limited to non-invasive, non-destructive methods unless Seller otherwise consents in writing, which consent may be withheld or granted in Seller’s sole and unfettered discretion. Purchaser shall keep the Premises free and clear of any liens and will indemnify, protect, defend, and hold each Seller Related Party (defined below) harmless from and against all Claims (defined below) asserted against or incurred by any Seller Related Party as a result of any such entry by Purchaser, its agents, employees or representatives, including, without limitation, Claims sustained as a result of damage to the Premises and injury to persons and Claims incurred by Seller as a result of Purchaser’s breach of this Section 7(c).

If any inspection or test disturbs the Premises, Purchaser will promptly restore the Premises to the same condition as existed prior to any such inspection or test. Purchaser and its agents, employees, and representatives may, upon not less than forty-eight (48) hours prior written or telephonic notice to Seller (given in the same manner as noted above in this paragraph), examine and make copies of all books and records and other materials relating to the condition of the Premises in Seller’s possession at the office where such records are maintained except for those that Seller, in its sole and absolute discretion, deems confidential or privileged.

| 9. | Survival of Representations and Warranties After Closing; Limitation of Seller’s Liability. |
(a)The representations and warranties herein shall survive the Closing for a period of six (6) months (the “Limitation Period”), and any suit for breach must be filed within six (6) months of Closing or such claim shall be forever barred and CAF shall have no liability with respect thereto. Any claim for a breach of the representations and warranties of CAF or Seller made herein may only be made by Purchaser against CAF, and Seller shall have no liability with respect thereto from and after Closing.
(b)Purchaser shall provide written notice to CAF of any breach of any of CAF’s or Seller’s representations, warranties or covenants of which Purchaser acquires knowledge, through any means, at any time after the Closing Date but prior to the expiration of the Limitation Period, and shall allow CAF thirty (30) days within which to cure such breach, or, if such breach is susceptible of cure but cannot reasonably be cured within thirty (30) days after receipt of Purchaser’s notice, an additional reasonable time period, not to exceed an additional thirty (30) days, required to effect such cure so long as such cure has been commenced within such thirty (30) days and diligently pursued. If CAF fails to cure such breach after actual written notice and within such cure period, Purchaser’s sole remedy shall be an action at law for actual damages, which must be commenced, if at all, within the thirty (30) days after the expiration of the Limitation Period. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Purchaser shall not be permitted to make a claim against CAF under this Section 9 with respect to any matter that Chris Milner, representative of Purchaser, had actual knowledge of on or prior to the Closing Date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Purchaser shall be deemed to have knowledge of any due diligence items located in the Dropbox virtual data room (located at https://www.dropbox.com/sh/7bvezflnf4x5aaw/AADKUgf7R257iDG3W0bK9hzda?dl=0) as of the expiration of the Due Diligence Period.
(c)Notwithstanding anything in this Section 9 to the contrary, (i) Purchaser shall not be entitled to make a claim against CAF for a violation of the representations, warranties, and covenants under this Agreement or in any document executed by CAF pursuant to this Agreement unless the amount of damages to Purchaser equals or exceeds Twenty-Five Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($25,000.00) in any one instance, and (ii) the cumulative, maximum amount of liability that CAF shall have to Purchaser for breaches of the representations, warranties and covenants under this Agreement and in any document executed by CAF pursuant to this Agreement shall not exceed one percent (1%) of the Purchase Price (the “Cap”). CAF hereby covenants and agrees that for the duration of the Limitation Period and until all timely asserted claims are resolved, CAF will make such arrangements as are necessary to ensure that CAF has the ability to meet its obligations under this Agreement with respect to the representations and warranties made by CAF in Section 6(a) of this Certificate, but CAF will not be required to hold liquid assets after Closing.

Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, Purchaser shall have a one-time right to extend the Closing Date to a business day no later than March 15, 2021, which right shall be exercisable by the delivery of written notice thereof to Seller and Title Insurer no later than five (5) business days before the originally scheduled Closing Date, and upon exercise of this right to extend, the Purchase Price shall, without further action required by either party hereto, increase by $195,000 to $56,695,000.

13.Title Insurance. (a) Within five (5) days of the date hereof, Seller shall cause to be delivered to Purchaser (i) a commitment for the Title Policy described in Subsection (b) below (the “Title Commitment”), together with all of the underlying documentation described in such Title Commitment, and (ii) Seller’s most recent survey of the Premises (the “Survey”). AS PROVIDED FOR IN THE TEXAS REAL ESTATE LICENSE ACT, PURCHASER IS ADVISED TO HAVE AN ABSTRACT OF TITLE WITH REGARD TO THE PROPERTY EXAMINED BY AN ATTORNEY OF ITS CHOICE, OR TO OBTAIN A POLICY OF TITLE INSURANCE.
12
(b)As a condition to Closing, Title Insurer shall commit to issue to Purchaser at Closing a Texas standard form Owner’s Policy of Title Insurance (the “Title Policy”) issued by Title Insurer, dated the day of Closing, in the full amount of the Purchase Price, subject only to the Permitted Exceptions (defined below). The Title Policy may contain any endorsements reasonably requested by Purchaser; provided, that if the Title Insurer is unable or unwilling to provide any of the foregoing endorsements to Purchaser’s Title Policy, Purchaser shall nevertheless be obligated to proceed to the Closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
(c)Prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, Purchaser shall review title to the Premises as disclosed by the Title Commitment and the Survey and satisfy itself as to the availability from the Title Insurer of the Title Policy and all requested endorsements to such Title Policy. Purchaser shall have the right, at Seller’s sole cost and expense, to obtain an update of the Survey (any such update, a “New Survey”) at any time prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, and promptly after receipt of written request from Seller, Purchaser shall deliver to Seller a complete copy of any such updated Survey.
(d)Should the Title Commitment, the Survey, or any New Survey contain any title exceptions or other matters which are not acceptable to Purchaser (collectively, “Objectionable Title and/or Survey Matters”), in its sole and absolute discretion, Purchaser shall, on or prior to the date that is two (2) business days following the Effective Date, notify Seller of any such Objectionable Title and/or Survey Matters. If Purchaser fails to so notify Seller of any Objectionable Title and/or Survey Matters, all exceptions and other matters appearing in the Title Commitment shall be deemed accepted by Purchaser and included as the “Permitted Exceptions”. If Purchaser timely notifies Seller in writing of any such Objectionable Title and/or Survey Matters (such writing, “Purchaser’s Title Notice ”), Seller, in Seller’s sole discretion, may, but shall have no obligation to remove or cure Objectionable Title and/or Survey Matters, except for (i) liens of an ascertainable amount created by Seller which can be cured with the payment of an ascertainable amount, including, without limitation, all liens of mortgages or deeds of trust, mechanics’ liens, attachments, judgments, liens to secure the payment of income taxes of Seller or Seller’s constituents, delinquent property tax and assessment liens against the Property, and (ii) any master lease between a Seller and its master lessee or any operating sublease between such master lessee and its operating sublessee, in each case related to or securing Seller’s master lease financing facility ownership structure (collectively, “Mandatory Cure Items”), which Mandatory Cure Items Seller shall cause to be released at the Closing or, if Purchaser consents in writing, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed, affirmatively insured over by the Title Insurer. Seller shall be deemed to have given notice to Purchaser that Seller refuses to cure any such Objectionable Title and/or Survey Matters, which Seller may so do in its sole discretion, unless Seller, within two (2) business days after receipt of Purchaser’s Title Notice, shall notify Purchaser in writing (the “Seller’s Title Notice”) that Seller will either attempt or refuse to cure such Objectionable Title and/or Survey Matters prior to or concurrently with Closing. If Seller’s Title Notice indicates that Seller refuses to cure said Objectionable Title and/or Survey Matters (or if Seller is deemed to refuse to cure said Objectionable Title and/or Survey Matters), Purchaser may (a) terminate this Agreement on or prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, and in either event the Earnest Money shall be returned to Purchaser, and neither party shall have further rights or obligations pursuant to this Agreement, except as expressly provided herein; or (b) if Purchaser fails to so terminate, Purchaser shall be deemed to have waived such Objectionable Title and/or Survey Matters and accept that title to the Property is subject thereto, in which event there shall be no reduction in the Purchase Price.
(e)Additional Exceptions. If at any time any supplement or amendment to the Title Commitment is issued prior to Closing and it shows any additional exceptions to title not shown in the Title Commitment not created by, through or under Purchaser, or any modification to the scope of the exceptions in the Title Commitment, or if any new matters or modifications to existing matters are shown in any update to the Survey or in any New Survey (collectively, “Additional Exceptions”) which are not acceptable to Purchaser, in Purchaser’s sole discretion, Purchaser shall have until the earlier of (i) five (5) business days from the date that Purchaser receives such supplement or amendment to the Title Commitment or (ii) the Closing Date to give the Seller further written notice of disapproval of such Additional Exceptions to title (“Purchaser’s Additional Notice”). Seller, may, on or prior to the earlier of (i) five (5) business days after receipt of Purchaser’s Additional Notice or (ii) the Closing Date (the “Seller’s Additional Notice Response Deadline”), notify Purchaser in writing (“Seller’s Additional Notice”) that Seller will either attempt or refuse to cure such Additional Exceptions prior to or concurrently with the Closing either by causing the same to be removed from title or, with Purchaser’s written consent not to be unreasonably withheld, condition or delayed, insured over by the Title Insurer, provided, however, Seller shall be obligated to cure or remove Mandatory Cure Items as provided above. If Seller’s Additional Notice indicates
13
that Seller refuses to cure said exceptions or if Seller has not delivered Seller’s Additional Notice on or prior to the Seller’s Additional Notice Response Deadline, Purchaser may (a) terminate this Agreement on or prior to the later of (i) two (2) business days after (x) receipt of Seller’s Additional Notice, or (y) Seller is deemed to have given notice that Seller refuses to cure such exceptions, or (ii) the Closing Date, and in either event the Earnest Money shall be returned to Purchaser and neither party shall have any further obligations or liabilities hereunder except those obligations and liabilities that expressly survive the Closing or termination hereof; or (b) if Purchaser fails to so terminate, Purchaser shall be deemed to have waived such exceptions and accept title subject thereto and such waived exceptions shall be considered Permitted Exceptions.
(f)Title Affidavit. Seller will provide the Title Insurer with a customary ALTA statement, personal undertaking or owner’s affidavit (collectively, an “Owner’s Affidavit”), in the form attached hereto as Exhibit J, which will permit the Title Insurer to remove the standard “mechanics lien” and “GAP” exceptions except for such exceptions that required the delivery of a survey and/or the performance of an inspection for removal.
(g)“Permitted Exceptions” shall mean: (1) any exception arising out of an act of Purchaser or its representatives, agents, employees or independent contractors; (2) zoning and subdivision ordinances and regulations affecting the Premises; (3) the specific exceptions in the Title Commitment and matters shown on the Survey (or any updated or New Survey) deemed “Permitted Exceptions” pursuant to Section 13(d) and Section 13(e) above; (4) real estate taxes and assessments not yet due and payable; (5) rights of tenants under the Leases; and (6) the standard exclusions from coverage set forth in the Title Policy that cannot be removed by the delivery of an owner’s affidavit.

17.Prorations and Adjustments. (a) The following items shall be prorated and adjusted between Seller and Purchaser as of 11:59 a.m. on the date immediately preceding Closing, except as otherwise specified:
(1) Taxes and Assessments. Real estate and personal property taxes and assessments, including, without limitation, any assessments, charges or other fees pursuant to the Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions for Beltwood North Business Park filed March 14, 1978 in Volume 78050, Page 9 of the Dallas County, Texas real property records, as amended from time to time (the “Declaration”), due and payable with respect to the Property with respect to the calendar year in which Closing occurs shall be prorated based on the portion of the calendar year which has elapsed prior to the Closing Date. If the amount of the real estate tax bill and/or the personal property tax bill for the year in which the Closing occurs has not been determined as of Closing, the proration credit shall be based on the most recently issued tax bill, and such proration shall be re-prorated upon issuance of the final tax bill. To the extent that the actual taxes and assessments for the current year differ from the amount apportioned at Closing, the parties shall make all necessary adjustments by appropriate payments between themselves within thirty (30) days after Purchaser receives the final tax bill. Seller shall pay, prior to Closing, any special assessments against the Property which are due and payable prior to Closing and Purchaser shall be responsible for all special assessments due and payable on or after the Closing. Subject to any proration or reproration provision set forth in
15
this Section 17(a)(1), Purchaser shall be solely responsible for paying all tax bills for the Property which are due and payable after the Closing. This Section 17(a)(1) shall survive Closing until the date that is thirty (30) days after Purchaser receives the final tax bill for the year during which Closing occurs, or, with respect to any special assessments due and payable with respect to the year during which Closing occurs or any prior year, thirty (30) days after Purchaser receives written notice thereof.
(2) Tax Refunds. Any refund or credit attributable to Seller’s overpayment of taxes and assessments payable prior to the Closing Date is the property of Seller, and any refund or credit attributable to the overpayment of taxes and assessments payable with respect to calendar year 2021, less any attorneys’ fees or costs payable with respect of such taxes and assessments shall be allocated between Seller and Purchaser based upon their respective periods of ownership. Purchaser shall promptly remit to Seller any refunded amounts allocable to Seller, regardless of whether or not any such refund is in the form of a cash rebate or a credit against future taxes and assessments. The provisions of this Section 17(a)(2) shall survive Closing.
(3) Utilities. All utilities shall be prorated based upon estimates using the most recent actual invoices. Seller shall receive a credit for the amount of deposits, if any, with utility companies that are transferable and that are assigned to Purchaser at the Closing. In the case of non-transferable deposits, Purchaser shall be responsible for making any security deposits required by utility companies providing service to the Premises. With respect to any utility payment made by Seller for which tenants must reimburse Seller pursuant to a resident utility billing system, but which reimbursement shall not be due and payable until after Closing: (a) Seller shall receive a credit at Closing in an amount equal to (i) the number of days before Closing for which Seller has not been so reimbursed by tenants (the “Trailing Period”), multiplied by (ii) the daily average of tenant reimbursement for such utility, as determined by the most recent three (3) consecutive collection periods of such reimbursement from tenants immediately preceding the Trailing Period, and (b) within ninety (90) days after the date on which the last reimbursement by tenants relating
to the Trailing Period becomes due and payable (the “Trailing Period Due Date”), Seller and Purchaser shall reconcile such credit by making all necessary adjustments by appropriate payments between themselves as determined by the actual collections from residents for such utilities. The provisions of this Section 17(a)(3) shall survive Closing for a period of ninety (90) days following the Trailing Period Due Date.
(4) Collected Rent; Leasing Commissions. Purchaser shall receive a credit for any rent and other income (and any applicable state or local tax on rent) under Leases collected by Seller before Closing that applies to any period after Closing. Uncollected rent and other uncollected income shall not be prorated at Closing. After Closing, Purchaser shall apply all rent and income collected by Purchaser from a tenant (x) first to such tenant’s rental obligations for the month in which the Closing occurs, (y) next to such tenant’s monthly rental for the month in which the payment is made, and (z) then to arrearages in the reverse order in which they were due, remitting to Seller, after deducting collection costs, any rent or expense reimbursements properly allocable to Seller’s period of ownership. Purchaser shall bill and use commercially reasonable efforts to collect such rent arrearages in the ordinary course of business, but shall not be obligated to engage a collection agency or take legal action to collect any rent arrearages. Any rent or other income received by Seller after Closing which are owed to Purchaser shall be remitted to Purchaser promptly after receipt. Leasing commissions and finders fees payable with respect to Leases under which the tenant has moved in prior to the Closing Date shall be paid by Seller, and leasing commissions or finders fees payable with respect to Leases under which the tenant moves in on or after the Closing Date shall be paid by Purchaser. The provisions of this Section 17(a)(4) shall survive Closing for a period of sixty (60) days.
(5) Tenant Security Deposits. All unapplied tenant security deposits (and interest thereon if required by law or contract to be earned thereon) under the Leases held by Seller at Closing, shall be credited to Purchaser at Closing. Purchaser covenants and agrees with Seller that Purchaser will hold, administer and apply all such unapplied tenant security deposits in accordance with applicable law. The foregoing covenant shall survive Closing for the period during which Purchaser owns the Property. Notwithstanding the preceding sentences of this paragraph, Seller shall retain, and Purchaser shall not receive any credit for, any non-refundable tenant fees,
16
including, without limitation, payments made under the Sure Deposit or Lease Protect programs, cleaning fees, redecorating fees and pet fees.
(6) Service Contracts. With respect to Assumed Service Contracts, Seller shall receive a credit for prepaid charges and premiums applicable to Purchaser’s period of ownership.
(7) Owner Deposits. Seller shall be entitled to the return of all bonds, deposits, letters of credit, set aside letters or other similar items, if any, that are outstanding with respect to the Premises that have been provided by Seller or any of its affiliates, agents or investment advisors to any governmental agency, public utility, or similar entity (collectively, “Owner Deposits”). Purchaser shall replace such Owner Deposits and obtain the release of Seller (or its affiliates) from any obligations under such Owner Deposits. To the extent that any funds are released as a result of the termination of any Owner Deposits for which Seller did not receive a credit, such funds shall be delivered to Seller immediately upon their receipt. The provisions of this Section 17(a)(7) shall survive Closing for a period of sixty (60) days.
(8) Tax Protests. If, for any year prior to the tax year during which Closing occurs, there are any tax protests filed, or abatement application proceedings pending at any time before or after Closing with respect to the Property, Seller shall have the right to settle such protests or proceedings so long as such settlement does not include any agreement as to the valuation of the Property for real estate tax purposes for the period after Closing (otherwise, Seller shall not settle the same without Purchaser’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). All amounts recovered as a result thereof, whether by settlement or otherwise, shall, net of Seller’s attorneys’ fees and other expenses, be apportioned as of the Closing for the tax year in which Closing occurs, and paid, when received, to the parties entitled thereto, provided, however, that to the extent any such amounts are payable to tenants pursuant to the terms of the Leases, such amounts shall be promptly paid over to such tenants. To avoid doubt, if Purchaser receives any such amount due to Seller, then Purchaser shall promptly deliver the same to Seller. The provisions of this Section 17(a)(8) shall survive Closing.
(b)Final Prorations. There shall be no readjustment of any prorations after the Closing and all such prorations shall be final, except as expressly set forth in Section 17(a) above.
18.Default; Termination. (a) If Purchaser defaults hereunder, then Seller’s sole remedy shall be to terminate this Agreement by giving written notice thereof to Purchaser, whereupon the Earnest Money shall be promptly paid to and retained by Seller as liquidated damages as Seller’s sole and exclusive remedy, and neither party shall have any further liability or obligation to the other, except for those that expressly survive the termination of this Agreement. The parties acknowledge and agree that Seller’s actual damages in the event of purchaser’s default are uncertain in amount and difficult to ascertain and that said amount of liquidated damages was reasonably determined.
(b)If Seller defaults hereunder with respect to its obligations to convey the Property at Closing pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, Purchaser may, at its sole election, either:
(1) Terminate this Agreement, whereupon the Earnest Money shall be promptly returned to Purchaser, Seller shall reimburse Purchaser for its third party costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred in connection with this Agreement, its due diligence investigations of the Property and any other costs or expenses incurred by Purchaser in connection with the transaction contemplated herein, up to a maximum amount of $100,000 and neither party shall have any further liability or obligation to the other, except for the provisions of this Agreement which are expressly stated to survive the termination of this Agreement; or
(2) Assert and seek judgment against Seller for specific performance; provided, however, in the event specific performance is not available to Purchaser because of the actions or omissions of Seller, Purchaser shall have the right to pursue any and all remedies available at law or in equity for actual damages, provided that in no event shall Purchaser be entitled to punitive, consequential, or special damages;
provided that the foregoing shall be Purchaser’s sole and exclusive remedies, and the exercise of one of such remedies by Purchaser shall be deemed an election of remedies, and shall preclude Purchaser from the exercise of the other such remedy.
17
19.Expenses. (a) The base premium for title insurance for the Title Policy (except extended coverage and for any endorsements Purchaser requests or any charges in connection with any lender’s policy), one-half (1/2) the cost of recording fees payable with respect to the Deed, costs related to the Survey and any New Survey, all recording fees payable with respect to any instruments required to discharge or otherwise cure any Mandatory Cure Items, and one-half (½) of the escrow fee shall be borne and paid by Seller.

(c)All other costs, charges, and expenses shall be borne and paid as provided in this Agreement, or in the absence of such provision, in accordance with custom.
20.Intermediaries. Seller represents to Purchaser, and Purchaser represents to Seller, there is no broker, finder, or intermediary of any kind with whom such party has dealt in connection with this transaction. Except as expressly set forth above, if any claim is made for broker’s or finder’s fees or commissions in connection with the negotiation, execution or consummation of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, each party shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless the other party from and against any such claim based upon any statement, representation or agreement of such party, which obligation shall survive Closing.
21.Destruction of Improvements. (a) If, prior to Closing, any of the improvements on the Premises are damaged or destroyed such that (i) the cost of repair or replacement of such improvements is reasonably likely to exceed an amount equal to One Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($1,500,000.00) as estimated by a third party reasonably acceptable to both parties, or (ii) the casualty is an uninsured or underinsured casualty and Seller, in its sole and absolute discretion, does not elect to cause the damage to be repaired or restored or give Purchaser a credit at Closing for such repair or restoration (“Material Damage”) or a material part of the Property is condemned (or a condemnation proceeding is commenced or threatened in writing against a material part of the Property) by a governmental or quasi-governmental agency with the power of eminent domain (“Condemnation”), then:
(1) Purchaser may elect, within fourteen (14) days from and after said Material Damage, or notice of such Condemnation, by written notice to Seller, to terminate this Agreement, and if necessary the time of Closing shall be extended to permit such election. In the event of an election to terminate, the Earnest Money shall be returned to Purchaser and, except for the provisions of this Agreement that expressly survive Closing or earlier termination of this Agreement, this Agreement shall be void and of no further force and effect, and neither party shall have any liability to the other by reason hereof; or
(2) In the event Purchaser does not timely elect to terminate pursuant to Subsection (1) above, the transaction contemplated hereby shall be closed without a reduction in the Purchase Price, and Seller shall effectively assign to Purchaser Seller’s rights in any insurance proceeds or Condemnation award to be paid to Seller in connection with such Material Damage or Condemnation, and, in the case of Material Damage, Seller shall pay or credit to Purchaser an amount equal to the deductible under Seller’s policy of casualty insurance (plus, if applicable, a credit in the amount of any insufficiency in the insurance proceeds to restore the damage) and Seller shall execute and deliver to Purchaser all required proofs of loss, assignments of claims and other similar items in forms reasonably acceptable to Seller. In such event, any title exception arising by reason of said damage, destruction or Condemnation shall be deemed a Permitted Exception under Exhibit B to the Deed.
(b)If, prior to Closing, any of the improvements on the Premises are damaged or destroyed and such damage is not Material Damage or a non-material part of the Property is condemned (or a condemnation proceeding is commenced
18
or threatened in writing against a non-material part of the Property), Purchaser shall remain obligated to close hereunder with no abatement in the Purchase Price. At Closing, Seller shall effectively assign to Purchaser Seller’s rights in any insurance proceeds or condemnation award to be paid to Seller in connection with such damage, destruction or condemnation, and Purchaser shall receive a credit against the Purchase Price in an amount equal to the deductible amount under Seller’s casualty insurance policy (plus, if applicable, a credit in the amount of any insufficiency in the insurance proceeds to restore the damage, at Seller’s election, in Seller’s sole discretion).
(c)For purposes of this Section, a “material” condemnation shall be a condemnation or other eminent domain proceeding that (i) would reasonably result in a reduction of the value of the Property in an amount greater than One Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ( $1,500,000.00) or (ii) would take any parking that would permanently reduce the number of parking spaces below those required to comply with applicable Laws or result in the permanent loss of access to the Property from a public street.

Notices by overnight courier shall be deemed given and effective on the first business day following the delivery thereof to Federal Express, UPS or another recognized overnight courier service. Notices by email shall be deemed given and effective on the date of transmission provided that the transmission of such email is complete on or before 5:00 p.m. Chicago time on such date (completion of transmission shall be evidenced by such email appearing in the sender’s “sent” email box as sent before such time, and if transmission is completed after 5:00 p.m. Chicago time, then such notice shall be deemed given and effective upon the next day) .

(i)Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed in all respects by the internal laws of the State of Texas.
(j)Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of identical counterparts, any or all of which may contain the signatures of less than all of the parties, and all of which shall be construed together as but a single instrument. Any signature delivered by electronic mail transmission shall be deemed to be an original signature hereto.

In the event of any action or proceeding brought by either party against the other under this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover all costs and expenses including its attorneys’ fees in such action or proceeding in such amount as the court may adjudge reasonable. The prevailing party shall be determined by the court based upon an assessment of which party’s major arguments made or positions taken in the proceedings could fairly be said to have prevailed over the other party’s major arguments or positions on major disputed issues in the court’s decision. If the party which shall have commenced or instituted the action, suit or proceeding shall dismiss or discontinue it without the concurrence of the other party, such other party shall be deemed the prevailing party.
(l)Construction. This Agreement shall not be construed more strictly against Seller merely by virtue of the fact that the same has been prepared by Seller or its counsel, it being recognized both of the parties hereto have contributed substantially and materially to the preparation of this Agreement. All words herein which are expressed in the neuter gender shall be deemed to include the masculine, feminine and neuter genders and any word herein which is expressed in the singular or plural shall be deemed, whenever appropriate in the context, to include the plural and the singular.
21
(m) No Recording of Agreement. Neither this Agreement nor any memorandum or evidence hereof shall be recorded in any public records by Purchaser; provided, however, the foregoing shall in no event restrict Purchaser from filing a lis pendens in connection with any action for specific performance pursuant to Section 18 above. If so recorded by Purchaser, this Agreement shall be deemed ipso facto canceled and terminated, the Earnest Money shall thereupon be forfeited to Seller, and Purchaser shall have no further interest in the Premises, pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise.
(n)Full Performance. The delivery of the Deed by Seller and the delivery of possession of the Property to Purchaser shall be deemed the full performance and discharge of every obligation on the part of the Seller to be performed hereunder, except those obligations of Seller which are expressly stated in this Agreement to survive the Closing.
(o)Confidentiality. Purchaser and Purchaser’s Representatives shall hold in strictest confidence all data and information provided to Purchaser by or on behalf of Seller with respect to the operation and management of the Property, whether obtained before or after the execution and delivery of this Agreement, and shall not use such data or information for purposes unrelated to this Agreement or disclose the same to others except as expressly permitted hereunder. The preceding sentence shall not be construed to prevent Purchaser from disclosing (i) to its prospective lenders or investors, or to its officers, directors, attorneys, accountants, architects, engineers and consultants to perform their designated tasks in connection with Purchaser’s inspection of the Property, and (ii) to any broker dealer or registered investment advisor in connection with Purchaser’s business, provided Purchaser advises any such party of the confidential nature of the information disclosed. However, neither party shall have this obligation concerning information which: (a) is published or becomes publicly available through no fault of either the Purchaser or Seller; (b) is rightfully received from a third party; or (c) is required to be disclosed by law. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Seller acknowledges and agrees that Purchaser and Purchaser’s Representatives may, without notice to or consent from Seller, communicate with any municipal or other governmental officials to the extent necessary in connection with obtaining and reviewing a customary zoning report for the Property. In the event this Agreement is terminated or Purchaser fails to perform hereunder, Purchaser shall promptly return to Seller or destroy any statements, documents, schedules, exhibits or other written information obtained from Seller in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby; provided, however, Purchaser may retain copies of such materials and information to the extent required pursuant to any applicable law, rule or regulation or internal record retention policy, provided further the same shall remain confidential in accordance with this Section 22(o). In the event of a breach or threatened breach by Purchaser or its agents, consultants and/or lenders of this paragraph, Seller shall be entitled to seek an injunction restraining Purchaser from disclosing, in whole or in part, such confidential information. Nothing herein shall be construed as prohibiting Seller from pursuing any other available remedy at law or in equity for such breach or threatened breach. This Section 22(o) shall survive termination of this Agreement for a period of two (2) years, but shall not survive Closing.
(p)Disclosures. Each hereby agrees that it shall not issue a press release or make any other public disclosure with respect to the transaction contemplated hereunder without the prior written consent of the other party, which consent may be granted or withheld in such party’s sole and absolute discretion. Each party shall cause its representatives, agents, employees, brokers, directors, contractors, members and affiliates to comply with the provisions of this Section 22(p).
(q)Exculpation of Related Parties. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or in any of the documents executed pursuant to this Agreement (this Agreement and said documents being hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Documents”) or provided under or required by law, the Documents shall not be binding on the members, partners, shareholders, beneficiaries, or any other direct or indirect equity holders of Seller, or any of their managers, employees, advisors, representatives or other agents or affiliates, but shall only be binding on Seller and its assets, subject to the other limitations set forth herein. No present or future partner, member, manager, director, officer, shareholder, employee, advisor, affiliate or agent of or in Seller or any affiliate of Seller shall have any personal liability, directly or indirectly, under or in connection with this Agreement or any agreement made or entered into under or in connection with the provisions of this Agreement, or any amendment or amendments to any of the foregoing made at any time or times, heretofore or hereafter, and Purchaser and its successors and assigns and, without limitation, all other persons and entities, shall look solely to Seller’s assets for the payment of any claim or for any performance, and Purchaser hereby waives any and all such personal liability. For purposes of this paragraph, no negative capital account or any contribution or payment obligation of any partner or member in Seller shall constitute an asset of Seller. The limitations of liability contained in this paragraph shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the Closing as applicable, and are in addition to, and not in
22
limitation of, any limitation on liability applicable to Seller provided elsewhere in this Agreement or by law or by any other contract, agreement or instrument.
(r)Limitation on Damages. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall Purchaser or Seller be liable hereunder for punitive, special, indirect or consequential damages.
(s)Texas Disclosure and Acknowledgment Regarding Lead Paint.
(1) Every purchaser of any interest in residential real property on which a residential dwelling was built prior to 1978 is notified that such property may present exposure to lead from lead-based paint that may place young children at risk of developing lead poisoning. Lead poisoning in young children may produce permanent neurological damage, including learning disabilities, reduced intelligence quotient, behavioral problems, and impaired memory. Lead poisoning also poses a particular risk to pregnant women. The seller of any interest in residential real property is required to provide the Purchaser with any information on lead-based paint hazards from risk assessments or inspections in the seller’s possession and notify the Purchaser of any known lead-based paint hazards. A risk assessment or inspection for possible lead-based paint hazards is recommended prior to purchase.
(2) Seller certifies that it has disclosed to Purchaser all information known to Seller regarding the presence of lead-based paint and lead-based paint hazards within this target housing. Seller does not have in its possession any other lead-hazard reports based on lead-based paint inspections, assessments, or abatements with respect to the Property. Seller hereby provides Purchaser with the following link to the website of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency web pamphlet “Protect Your Family from Lead in Your Home”: http://www.pueblo.gsa.gov/cic_text/housing/finlead/leadhelp.html.
(3) Seller is aware that federal laws require Seller to permit Purchaser a 10-calendar day period to conduct a risk assessment or inspection for the presence of lead-based paint hazards before becoming obligated under a contract to purchase target housing (unless mutually agreed otherwise in writing). Purchaser hereby represents that it has either: (i) performed such risk assessment or inspection prior to the execution of this Agreement or (ii) waives its rights to do so and any attendant rights of Purchaser to cancel this Agreement for reasons related to the presence, if any, of lead-based paint and/or lead-based paint hazards.
(4) Purchaser hereby certifies as follows: I have read and understood the above lead warning statement and received all information noted above, including the lead hazard information web-pamphlet described above.
(t)Uniform Vendor and Purchaser Risk Act Not Applicable. It is the express intent of the parties hereto that the provisions of this Agreement govern the rights of the parties in the event of damage to or condemnation of the Property located in the State of Texas and that the Uniform Vendor and Purchaser Risk Act (Section 5.007 of the Texas Property Code) not apply to this Contract.
(u)Survival. The provisions of Sections 22(a) through 22(n) and Sections 22(p) through 22(t) shall survive the Closing.
(v)Delay in Closing. In the event that the Closing shall be delayed or prevented because of (i) the closure of recording or filing offices, (ii) the inability of the Title Insurer or other search company to run (or update) title, lien, bankruptcy, UCC, Patriot Act, judgment, municipal, real estate tax, water meter or other searches, (iii) the Title Insurer to conduct the escrow closing, or (iv) the United States (or individual state) banking, federal wire transfer systems or other systems or mechanisms for the payment of funds are experiencing delays, interruptions or closures, then performance of such obligation or the scheduled Closing Date, as the case may be, shall be excused for the period of the delay and the period for the performance of any such obligation or the scheduled Closing Date, as the case may be, shall be extended for a period equivalent to the period of such delay plus an additional five (5) business days.
