III
AGREEMENT
1. Agreement of Purchase and Sale. Seller agrees to sell the Property to Buyer, and Buyer agrees to purchase the Property from Seller, at the Closing for the Purchase Price and upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or in the "Closing Documents" (as defined below), the term "Property" shall not include any of the following items, all of which are excluded from the sale by Seller to Buyer hereunder (and all of which shall be retained by Seller at Closing) (collectively, the "Reserved Company Assets"): all cash, cash equivalents (including certificates of deposit) on hand or in any bank account, operating account or other account maintained in connection with the ownership, management or operation of the Property including any non-refundable security deposits (but without limiting the credits to Buyer under Section 6.9 for Tenant Security Deposits, prepaid rents or other matters), deposits held by third parties (e.g., utility companies), accounts receivable and any right to a refund or other payment relating to a period prior to the Closing, including any real estate tax refund (subject to the prorations hereinafter set forth), bank accounts, claims or other rights of Seller against any present or prior partner, member, employee, agent, manager, officer or director of Seller or its direct or indirect partners, members, shareholders or affiliates, any refund in connection with termination of Seller’s existing insurance policies, any insurance claims or proceeds arising out of or relating to events that occur prior to the Closing Date subject to the terms of Section 8 of this Agreement, all contracts between Seller and any law firm, accounting firm, property manager, leasing agent, broker, environmental consultants and other consultants and appraisers entered into prior to the Closing (other than Service Contracts that are assumed by Buyer under this terms of Section 7), any proprietary or confidential materials (including any materials relating to the background or financial condition of a present or prior direct or indirect partner or member of Seller), the internal books and records of Seller relating, for example, to contributions and distributions prior to the Closing, any software, websites, marketing brochures or other marketing materials, any trademarks, trade names, brand marks, brand names, trade dress or logos relating thereto except as provided in the definition of Property above (without taking into account the exclusion therein for Reserved Company Assets), any development bonds, letters of credit or other collateral held by or posted with any governmental entity or other third party with respect to any improvement, subdivision or development obligations concerning the Property, any fixtures, personal property or other assets that are owned by (a) the supplier or vendor under any Service Contract, (b) the tenant under any Lease and (c) the property manager of the
-4-
Property, any other intangible property that is not used exclusively in connection with the Property.
Seller and Buyer (or an affiliate thereof) have entered into a separate Purchase and Sale Agreement and Joint Escrow Instructions as of the Effective Date (the “Parallel Agreement”) relating to the sale of real property proximately located to the Property. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Buyer shall have no right to Purchase, and the Seller shall be under no obligation to sell, the Property unless the transactions contemplated by the Parallel Agreement are consummated (the “Parallel Sale”), it being the express intention and agreement between Buyer and Seller that, as an inducement to Seller and Buyer to enter into this Agreement, Buyer has agreed to purchase and Seller has agreed to sell all the Property simultaneously with the Parallel Sale.
2. Purchase Price. Buyer shall pay the Purchase Price to Seller for the Property as provided in Section 3 below (the "Purchase Price").
3. Payment of Purchase Price.
3.1 Independent Consideration; Initial Deposit. Within three (3) Business Days following the Effective Date, Buyer shall deposit the Independent Consideration and the Initial Deposit with Escrow Holder by wire transfer of immediately available funds. Escrow Holder shall immediately release to Seller the full amount of the Independent Consideration. At Buyer’s discretion, Escrow Holder shall place the Deposit in one or more government insured interest-bearing accounts satisfactory to Buyer (which shall have no penalty for early withdrawal), and shall not commingle the Deposit with any funds of Escrow Holder or any other person or entity. Any interest earned on the Deposit while held by Escrow Holder shall be added to and be disbursed in the same manner as the principal portion of the Deposit. The Initial Deposit shall be refundable to Buyer until the expiration of the Due Diligence Deadline and as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement. If Buyer fails to deliver the Independent Consideration and the Initial Deposit into Escrow strictly as and when contemplated herein or if Buyer fails to deliver the “Independent Consideration” and the “Initial Deposit” into escrow as defined in and set forth in the Parallel Agreement, this Agreement shall automatically terminate and neither party shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder except for those obligations which by their terms expressly survive any termination of this Agreement (the "Surviving Obligations"). Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Buyer and Seller hereby agree and acknowledge that the Independent Consideration shall be paid to Seller and deemed completely nonrefundable for any reason as consideration for the rights and privileges granted to Buyer herein, including any and all rights granted to Buyer to terminate this Agreement prior to the Due Diligence Deadline.
3.2 Additional Deposit. Unless Buyer terminates this Agreement in accordance with the terms of Section 4.2, then upon the expiration of the Due Diligence Deadline: (a) the Initial Deposit shall become non-refundable to Buyer except in the event of the Seller's breach or as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, and (b) within two (2) Business Days after the expiration of the Due Diligence Deadline, Buyer shall deposit the Additional Deposit with Escrow Holder by wire transfer of immediately available funds and the
-5-
Additional Deposit shall be non-refundable to Buyer except in the event of Seller's breach or as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement. The Initial Deposit and, when made, the Additional Deposit, and, if made, the Extension Deposit, are collectively referred to herein as the "Deposit" and shall include all interest which accrues thereon while held by Escrow Holder. Upon the Closing, the Deposit shall be credited to the Purchase Price. Unless Buyer terminates this Agreement in accordance with the terms of Section 4.2, then upon the expiration of the Due Diligence Deadline if Buyer thereafter fails to deliver the Additional Deposit into the Escrow Account strictly as and when contemplated herein or if Buyer fails to deliver the “Additional Deposit” into Escrow as defined in and set forth in the Parallel Agreement, such failure shall constitute a material breach of this Agreement by Buyer and Seller shall have the right, by delivering written notice to Escrow Holder and Buyer within five (5) days after such failure, to terminate this Agreement and receive and retain the Initial Deposit as liquidated damages pursuant to Section 5.1 below, and thereafter neither party shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder except for the Surviving Obligations.
3.3 Closing Cash Payment. The balance of the Purchase Price remaining after credit for the Deposit and adjustments for Buyer's share of proration, costs and other amounts expressly set forth in this Agreement shall be paid by Buyer by wire transfer of immediately available funds into Escrow on the Closing Date.
4. Conditions to Parties' Obligations.
4.1 Buyer's Pre-Closing Conditions. Buyer's obligations under this Agreement shall be subject to the satisfaction of or waiver by Buyer in Buyer’s sole and absolute discretion of the following matters described below (collectively, the "Pre-Closing Conditions") in the time-frames set forth in this Section 4.1:
4.1.1 Title. (a)As soon as feasible following the Effective Date, Buyer shall be given access to copies of all of the following items regarding title to the Property (it being understood that Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide such items within three (3) Business Days after the Effective Date and, in the event that Buyer has not received such items, or access thereto, by such date, the Title Objection Deadline (as hereinafter defined) shall be extended on a day-for-day basis only with respect to such item that Buyer has not received): (a) title commitment prepared by Fidelity National Title Insurance Company, for the Property for an owner’s policy of title insurance in an amount equal to the Purchase Price on a Texas T-1 form (collectively, the "Title Report"), (b) all underlying documents evidencing exceptions to title or otherwise referred to in the Title Report to the extent such documents are readily available from the Title Company and (c) a copy of the most recently prepared survey of the Property in Seller’s possession or control. Buyer, by giving notice to Seller on or before the date that is five (5) Business Days prior to the Due Diligence Deadline (the "Title Objection Deadline"), may object to any matter contained in the Title Reports or matter appearing on the survey (an “Objection”) in Buyer’s sole and absolute discretion. Buyer shall be deemed to have waived all rights to make Objections with respect to all matters shown in the Title Report and all matters that would be revealed by current, accurate ALTA survey of the Property unless Buyer delivers an Objection to Seller prior to the Title Objection Deadline. If Buyer makes any such
-6-
Objection, Seller may, by giving notice to Buyer on or before the date that is three (3) Business Days after Buyer's Objection notice, elect either to remove such Objections or not to remove such Objections. Seller shall be deemed to have elected not to remove any such Objection unless Seller elects to remove any such Objection by giving written notice to Buyer in accordance with this Section 4.1.1(a). If Seller elects to remove any such Objection, Seller shall remove the Objection on or before the Closing Date. The procurement by Seller, at its option, of written irrevocable, unconditional (subject to the payment of any fees relating thereto) commitments from the Title Company to issue the "Title Policy" (defined below) or an endorsement thereto reasonably acceptable to Buyer insuring Buyer against any Objection shall be deemed a removal thereof from title to the Property. If Seller elects (or is deemed to have elected) not to remove any such Objection, Buyer shall have the right, by giving notice to Seller and the Escrow Holder within five (5) Business Days after receipt of Seller’s response (or the last day on which Seller could provide a response if no response is provided), either to terminate this Agreement (in which case the Deposit shall be returned to Buyer), or to withdraw such Objection and waive all rights with respect to such Objection. If Buyer does not exercise the right to terminate this Agreement in accordance with this Section 4.1.1(a), Buyer shall be deemed to have waived such Objection. In the event that Buyer terminates the Parallel Agreement pursuant to Section 4.1.1(a) of the Parallel Agreement, Buyer shall be deemed to have terminated this Agreement pursuant to this Section 4.1.1(a) and the Deposit shall be returned to Buyer. For the avoidance of doubt, the following matters shall be deemed to be “Permitted Encumbrances” for all purposes of this Agreement: (a) rights of tenants under unrecorded leases, as tenants only, without any right of purchase, offer or first refusal, (b) subject to the adjustments provided for herein, liens for current real estate taxes and special assessments which are not yet due and payable, (c) standard exceptions and provisions contained in the current Texas T-1 form of title insurance policy, (d) discrepancies, conflicts in boundary lines, shortages in area, encroachments and any state of facts not included on the Survey but which an update of the Survey would disclose, or which are not shown on the public records, (e) subject to the adjustments provided for herein, any service, installation, connection or maintenance charge due after Closing and charges for sewer, water, electricity, telephone, cable television or gas, (f) any title exception which is approved, deemed approved or waived by Buyer pursuant to this Section 4.1.1(a), (h) any exceptions caused by Buyer, its agents, representatives or employees, (i) such other exceptions as the Title Company shall commit to insure over without any additional cost to Buyer, whether such insurance is made available in consideration of payment, bonding, indemnity of Seller or otherwise, subject to the provisions above relating to any additional insurance and (j) easements and laws, regulations, resolutions or ordinances, including, without limitation, building, zoning and environmental protection, as to the use, occupancy, subdivision, development, conversion or redevelopment of the Property currently or hereinafter imposed by any governmental or quasi-governmental body or authority including any such easements and laws, regulations, resolutions or ordinances with respect to utilities.
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall have no obligation to cure or remove any defect or exception to title to the Property or Objection other than (i) financing liens of an ascertainable amount created by, under or through Seller, which liens Seller shall cause to be released at or prior to Closing (with Seller having the right to apply the Purchase Price or a portion thereof for such purpose), and Seller shall deliver the Property free and clear of any such
-7-
financing liens, (ii) any exceptions or encumbrances to title which are created by, under or through Seller after the date of the Title Report without Buyer’s prior consent, and (iii) any Objections which Seller has specifically agreed, in writing, to cure. Nothing whatsoever contained in this Agreement shall be deemed or construed to give Buyer any right to terminate this Agreement by reason of any lien, encumbrance, exception or other matter created or caused by Buyer or any of Buyer's affiliates, agents, consultants, contractors or representatives (collectively, "Buyer's Representatives"). The title objection, response and deemed approval procedure set forth above shall apply to any additional title matter which is first reflected upon any update of the Title Reports that was not originally reflected in such Title Reports (a "New Title Matter"), except that the review and objection period for such New Title Matter shall be the five (5) Business Day period after Buyer becomes aware of such New Title Matter (whether through an update of the Title Reports or otherwise), and Buyer shall be deemed to have waived all rights with respect to any such New Title Matter unless Buyer objects thereto in a writing delivered to Seller within such five (5) Business Day period; provided, however the Closing Date, if necessary, shall be delayed to accommodate the objection and response periods provided for above. Any delay of the Closing Date pursuant to Section 4.1.1(b) of the Parallel Agreement shall be deemed to be a delay in the Closing Date pursuant to this Section 4.1.1(b), subject in all cases to the Outside Closing Date.
4.1.2 Physical Inspections. After Buyer has provided to Seller a certificate(s) of insurance evidencing commercial general liability insurance coverage for the activities of Buyer and Buyer's Representatives as required herein, Seller shall permit Buyer and Buyer's Representatives to enter upon the Property during reasonable business hours on Business Days prior to the Closing or any earlier termination of this Agreement to make and perform such non-invasive physical environmental evaluations, and other non-invasive physical inspections, investigations, tests and studies of the physical condition of the Property as Buyer may elect to make or obtain in Buyer’s sole and absolution discretion, and such other invasive physical inspections, investigations, tests and studies as may be consented to by Seller in its sole and absolute discretion subject to and in accordance with this Section 4.1.2. Buyer shall maintain, and shall ensure that Buyer's Representatives maintain, public liability insurance coverage insuring against any liability arising out of any entry, inspections, investigations, tests or studies of the Property pursuant to the provisions hereof. Such insurance coverage maintained by Buyer and Buyer's Representatives shall be in the amount of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00) per occurrence and Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000.00) aggregate for injury to or death of one or more persons in an occurrence and for damage to tangible property (including loss of use) in an occurrence. The insurance coverage maintained by Buyer shall (a) name Seller and Seller's property manager as additional insureds, and (b) contain a provision that "the insurance provided by Buyer hereunder shall be primary and non-contributing with any other insurance available to Seller." Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Buyer shall not be permitted to undertake any invasive, intrusive or destructive investigation, testing or study of the Property, including a "Phase II" environmental assessment, without in each instance first obtaining Seller's written consent thereto, which consent Seller may give, withhold or condition in Seller's sole and absolute discretion, provided that Buyer may perform customary testing for Radon at the property. Prior to any entry onto the Property (and on each and every occasion), Buyer shall deliver to Seller prior written notice (which may be via email without requirement
-8-
for secondary form of delivery), not less than twenty-four (24) hours prior to such entry, and Seller shall have the right to have a representative of Seller present to accompany Buyer or Buyer's Representatives while any inspections, investigations, tests or studies of the Property are made or performed. If requested by Seller, Buyer shall provide Seller the identity of the company or party(s) who will perform such inspections, investigations, tests or studies and the proposed scope of the inspections, investigations, tests or studies. Buyer’s right of inspection hereunder shall be subject to the provisions of Section 4.6 of this Agreement.
4.1.3 Existing Property Documents. After Buyer has deposited the Initial Deposit into Escrow, Seller shall make available to Buyer and Buyer's Representatives (which may be made available on an information website or other on-line site or at the Property), all materials, data and other information, if any, in the possession of Seller or Seller’s affiliates or property manager or leasing agent other than the Confidential Materials (as hereinafter defined) which relate exclusively to the Property, including any permits, approvals, entitlements, school impact mitigation agreements, and licenses, whether approved or in process, with any governmental authority correspondence with or notices from any governmental authorities, other development rights, studies (including all traffic, soils, geotechnical and environmental studies and reports), tests, surveys, reports, plans, agreements and authorizations relating to or affecting the Property, civil engineering, architectural and landscaping plans. Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver such information via electronic format or on a website or other on-line site and to provide such information within three (3) Business Days following the Effective Date. Further Seller shall provide or make available to Buyer within three (3) days after the Effective Date, in accordance with the foregoing, the information set forth on Exhibit K (other than the items thereon highlighted in yellow, for which Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide or make available to Buyer as promptly as possible), to the extent in the possession or control of Seller and without any cost to Seller (all documents, instruments and information pertaining to the Property and the use, management, operation or leasing thereof that are provided by Seller to Buyer or made available to Buyer shall be hereinafter referred to as the “Seller Deliveries”). In no event shall Seller be required to prepare or obtain any information, report, document, survey, study, report or other item for Buyer not in Seller's, its affiliates or property manager’s or leasing agent’s possession. Seller hereby acknowledges and agrees that the following are in the possession of or control of, or are reasonably available to, Seller and will be provided as required in the first sentence: monthly operating statements (year-to-date and 3-year historical); year-end financial statements, audited if available (past 3 years); general ledger (year-to-date and 3-year historical); and copies of all Leases (notwithstanding the foregoing, the Leases will not be delivered to Buyer, but may be reviewed and copied by Buyer at the property management office located at the Property, provided that upon Buyer’s request, Seller shall deliver to Buyer a sample set of no less than twenty percent (20%) of the Leases). Buyer acknowledges that much of the materials, data and other information which Seller may make available to Buyer or Buyer's Representatives in connection with Buyer's evaluation of the Property were prepared by third parties other than Seller and, in some instances, may have been prepared prior to Seller's ownership of the Property. Seller makes no representation or warranty, and hereby expressly disclaims any representation or warranty, that any of the materials, data or other information previously or hereafter delivered or made available to Buyer or Buyer's Representatives are true, accurate or complete except as expressly set forth in this Agreement.
-9-
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, in no event shall Buyer or any of Buyer's Representatives be permitted to review any of the following (collectively, the “Confidential Materials”): (i) any third party purchase inquiries or letters of intent relating to the purchase of the Property or correspondence and draft agreements with respect to the foregoing or any appraisals or any economic evaluations of the Property; (ii) Seller's organizational documents; (iii) Seller’s or its property manager’s internal budgets, financial projections, cost-basis data, valuations, reports or correspondence; and (iv) any documents or materials that are subject to the attorney/client privilege, that constitute attorney work product, which are proprietary or that are the subject of a binding confidentiality obligation. Seller acknowledges and agrees that Buyer, in its sole and absolute discretion, and its Representatives may review and/or copy (at Buyer’s expense) at the Property during normal business hours all financial and other books and records relating solely to the Property, including without limitation the Seller Deliveries, but excluding the Confidential Materials.
4.1.4 Governmental Authority and Other Inquiries. After Buyer has deposited the Initial Deposit into Escrow and prior to the Closing Date or earlier termination of this Agreement, Buyer and Buyer's Representatives shall have the right, as part of Buyer's due diligence investigation, to contact governmental authorities or quasi-governmental authorities to request documents and records, including without limitation current and historical real estate tax assessment information, zoning/building code file review letter, and police and fire reports/incident history (collectively, “Document Requests”) (but not to have direct discussions relating specifically to the Property) and to make the inquiries and have the meetings set forth in clauses (a)-(c) of this Section 4.1.4 (each, an “Inquiry”), subject, in each case, to the other provisions of this Agreement. Before any Inquiry by Buyer or any of Buyer's Representatives with any governmental authority, Buyer shall provide Seller not less than twenty-four (24) hours prior written notice (which may be by email) and Seller shall have the right (but not the obligation) to be present and otherwise participate in all such inquiries, contacts, interviews and meetings. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer shall not (a) contact any consultant or other professional engaged by Seller or its representative that has been specifically identified in writing to Buyer as “prohibited from contact” without Seller's express written consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld), (b) contact any Governmental Entity having jurisdiction over the Property without Seller’s express written consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld) other than Document Requests, or (c) contact any member or partner of Seller, any lender or servicer with respect to any Seller's loan, or any tenant, in each case without the prior written approval of Seller which may be given or withheld in Seller’s sole discretion. Consents under this Section may be given in writing or by e-mail (without requirement for secondary form of delivery) to Ralph Pickett (Telephone: 312 ###-###-####; E-mail: ***@***).
4.2 Buyer Termination Right. Prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Deadline, if Buyer determines in Buyer’s sole and absolute discretion that the Property is not acceptable for any reason whatsoever (or for no reason), Buyer shall have the right to terminate this Agreement, in which event Buyer shall deliver to Seller and Escrow Holder a written notice that Buyer elects to terminate this Agreement. Buyer's failure to terminate the Agreement in writing prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Deadline shall be deemed to constitute Buyer’s waiver of such right of termination. If this Agreement is terminated by written notice to
-10-
Seller and Escrow Holder delivered prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Deadline, then (a) the Initial Deposit and Additional Deposit (to the extent made (but not the Independent Consideration)) shall be returned to Buyer, (b) Buyer shall return to Seller (or certify to Seller the destruction of) any and all materials, data and other information relating to the Property given to Buyer by or on behalf of Seller, and (c) thereafter neither party shall have any further rights or obligations under this Agreement except for the Surviving Obligations. The provisions of this Section 4.2 shall survive the Closing and any termination of this Agreement. In the event Buyer terminates the Parallel Agreement in accordance with Section 4.2 of the Parallel Agreement, Buyer shall be deemed to have terminated this Agreement pursuant to this Section 4.2.

Buyer may request each Title Policy to be issued as an extended coverage policy and/or to have additional endorsements; however, except with respect to those Permitted Encumbrances described in subclause (i) of the definition thereof, Buyer shall be responsible to satisfy, at Buyer's sole cost, any additional requirements of Title Company to issue such extended coverage or endorsements (including, but not limited to, a current survey), and Title Company's commitment to issue such extended coverage and endorsements shall not be a Buyer's Closing Condition.

Upon execution of this Agreement by both Buyer and Seller, the parties hereto shall open an escrow with Escrow Holder (the "Escrow") by depositing a fully-executed counterpart of this Agreement with Escrow Holder. This Agreement shall serve as the instructions to Escrow Holder for consummation of the purchase and sale contemplated by this Agreement and the other transactions hereunder. The parties acknowledge that the Escrow Holder is acting solely as a stakeholder at their request and for their convenience, that the Escrow Holder shall not be deemed to be the agent of either of the parties, and the Escrow Holder shall not be liable to either of the parties for any act or omission on its part, other than for its gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Seller and the Buyer shall jointly and severally indemnify and hold the Escrow Holder harmless from and against all costs, claims and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, incurred in connection with the performance of the Escrow Holder’s duties hereunder. The Escrow Holder shall not be liable to either of the parties: (i) for levies by taxing authorities based upon the taxpayer identification number used to establish the escrow account for the Deposit, and (ii) in the event of failure, insolvency, or inability of the depositary bank to pay the Deposit, or accrued interest upon demand for withdrawal. Seller and Buyer agree to execute such reasonable additional and supplementary escrow instructions as may be necessary to enable the Escrow Holder to comply with the terms of this Agreement; provided, however, that in the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and any such additional or supplementary escrow instructions, the terms of this Agreement shall control.

6.2.1 Closing. As used in this Agreement, the "Closing" shall mean the consummation of the purchase and sale transaction contemplated by this Agreement, as evidenced by the submission to the Title Company and release from escrow of the Deed for recordation in the applicable Official Records of the County in which the Real Property is located (the "Official Records") and the disbursement of the proceeds of the Purchase Price (as adjusted in accordance with the terms of this Agreement) by Escrow Holder to Seller. The

Each party shall timely deposit with Escrow Holder the funds, documents and supplementary written escrow instructions required by this Agreement in order to consummate the Closing of the sale and transfer of the Property in accordance with this Agreement.

Unless otherwise agreed to in writing by both Buyer and Seller, the Closing shall occur on a date selected by Buyer (with notice thereof given to Seller not fewer than fifteen (15) days prior to the Initial Closing Date) and reasonably approved by Seller but in no event later than the Outside Closing Date. Time is of the essence with respect to such Closing Date, and such Closing Date may not be extended without the prior written approval of both Seller and Buyer; provided that Buyer shall have the right to extend the Initial Closing Date for one (1) period of up to the lesser of (a) thirty (30) days, and (b) the number of days between the Initial Closing Date and the Outside Closing Date, by delivering written notice of said extension to Seller and Escrow Holder at least five (5) Business Days prior to the Initial Closing Date and deliver to Escrow Holder within one (1) Business Day of the exercise of the extension by Buyer, in immediately available funds or by wire transfer, an extension deposit of One Hundred and Fifty Thousand Dollars ($150,000.00) ("Extension Deposit"), it being agreed that the extension shall not take effect unless the Extension Deposit is made in accordance with this Section 6.2.2. The Extension Deposit shall be deemed a part of the Deposit for all purposes under this Agreement and be non-refundable under all circumstances except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, Seller and Buyer shall remain entitled to any applicable cure period provided in Section 5.1 or 5.2 above and the scheduled Closing Date shall be extended until the earlier of (a) the expiration of such cure period, and (b) the Outside Closing Date. In the event Buyer exercises any acceleration or extension right under the Parallel Agreement or Buyer or Seller exercises an extension right under Section 5.1 or 5.2 of the Parallel Agreement, Buyer or Seller, as applicable, shall be deemed to have made the same election under this Agreement.
6.2.3 Demand. If either party makes a written demand upon the Escrow Holder for payment of the Deposit, the Escrow Holder shall, within 24 hours give written notice to the other party of such demand. If the Escrow Holder does not receive a written objection within five Business Days after the giving of such notice, the Escrow Holder is hereby authorized to make such payment; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not apply with respect to any written demand by Buyer for a return of the Deposit on or before the Due Diligence Deadline pursuant to Section 4.2 for which no notice from Escrow Holder to Seller shall be required or delay in or objection to the prompt release thereof to Buyer shall be permitted. If the Escrow Holder does receive such written objection within such five Business Day period or if for any other reason the Escrow Holder in good faith shall elect not to make such payment, the Escrow Holder shall continue to hold the Deposit until otherwise directed by joint written instructions from the parties to this Agreement or a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. The Escrow Holder shall give written notice of such deposit to the Seller and the Buyer. Upon such deposit the Escrow Holder shall be relieved and discharged of all further obligations and responsibilities hereunder.

6.9.1 General. The following items set forth below in this Section 6.9 are to be adjusted and prorated between Seller and Buyer as of 11:59 p.m. on the day immediately preceding the Closing Date (the "Adjustment Time") (such that Buyer shall be deemed to own the Property, and therefore entitled to any revenues and responsible for any expenses, for the entire day upon which the Closing occurs). Such adjustments and prorations shall be calculated on the actual days of the applicable month in which the Closing occurs and all annual prorations shall be based upon a three hundred sixty-five (365)-day year. The net amount resulting from the prorations and adjustments provided for in this Section 6.9 (along with the allocation of Closing costs in accordance with Section 6.6 above) shall be added to (if such net amount is in Seller's favor) or deducted from (if such net amount is in Buyer's favor) the funds to be delivered at Closing by Buyer in payment of the Purchase Price. Any other closing prorations and adjustments which are customarily made in similar real property sales transactions and are not addressed in this Section 6.9 shall be made between Buyer and Seller in accordance with the customary practice in the County in which the Real Property is located. All provisions of this Section 6.9 shall survive the Closing and the recordation of the Deeds for a period of ninety (90) days after the Closing and shall not merge into the Deeds and the other documents and instruments delivered at Closing.
6.9.2 Rents. Rents shall be prorated between Buyer and Seller as of the Adjustment Time, when, as and if collected. Seller shall be entitled to all Rents under Leases
-21-
attributable to the period prior to the Adjustment Time and Buyer shall be entitled to all Rents under Leases attributable to the period from and after the Adjustment Time. The amount of any Rents under Leases collected by Seller prior to the Adjustment Time and applicable to the period from and after the Adjustment Time shall be credited to Buyer at the Closing. The first monies collected on account of the Rents after the Adjustment Time shall be successively applied to the payment of (a) first, Rent due and payable in the month in which the Closing occurs, (b) second, Rent due and payable in the months succeeding the month in which the Closing occurs, up to and including the month in which payment is made, and (c) third, Rent due and payable in the months preceding the month in which the Closing occurs, if any. Seller and Buyer shall promptly account to the other party for any Rents received after Closing to which the other party would be entitled under this Section 6.9.2. As used herein, "Delinquent Rents" means Rents which are due and payable prior to or on the day of the Closing or otherwise relate to pre-Closing periods (including, without limitation, the utility charges) but which have not actually been collected by Seller as of the day of the Closing. Seller's account shall not be credited at the Closing for any Delinquent Rents but Seller shall retain all right, title and interest to any Delinquent Rents and Buyer shall have no rights to any Delinquent Rents except as expressly provided in this Section 6.9.2. Commencing as of sixty one (61) days after the Closing Date with respect to any tenants still in residence at the Property, and commencing as of the Closing Date with respect to any tenants no longer in residence at the Property, Seller shall be entitled to institute legal proceedings and otherwise attempt to collect any Delinquent Rents (but without seeking to evict the tenant or otherwise unreasonably interfering with Buyer’s operation of the Property). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, within ninety (90) days after the Closing Date, all reimbursable utility bills for utility charges incurred by Seller and reimbursable to Seller from the tenants under the Leases for periods prior to Closing (“RUBS”), if received by Buyer, shall be remitted by Buyer to Seller; thereafter, Buyer shall have no obligation to remit RUBS income to Seller.

6.9.3 Tenant Security Deposits. At the Closing, Seller shall retain the amount of any Tenant Security Deposits then held by or on behalf of Seller and Buyer shall receive a credit toward the Purchase Price for all such Tenant Security Deposits then held on behalf of Seller.
6.9.4 Real Estate Taxes and Assessments. For purposes of this Agreement, "Real Estate Taxes" means real estate or ad valorem real property taxes, assessments and personal property taxes with respect to the Property. Real Estate Taxes shall be prorated as of the Adjustment Time based upon the latest available tax bill and the number of days which have elapsed from the first day of the Current Tax Period to the Adjustment Time. The term "Current Tax Period" shall mean the fiscal period of the applicable taxing or charging authority during which the Closing occurs. If the latest available tax bill is not the bill for the Current Tax Period, then Real Estate Taxes shall be prorated based upon the latest tax information then available (including previous tax bills, current assessments and other information available from the taxing authorities) and Buyer and Seller shall re-prorate the Real Estate Taxes following the Closing as soon as the tax bill for the Current Tax Period becomes
-22-
available, but in all events no later than the Final Proration Adjustment as provided in Section 6.9.8 below. Refunds of Real Estate Taxes for any period of time prior to the Current Tax Period, shall belong to Seller and Seller reserves the right to commence, contest and settle same. In the event such refunds are paid to Buyer, Buyer shall promptly pay such amount to Seller (which obligation shall survive the Closing and shall not be merged into the Deeds and the other documents and instruments to be delivered at Closing). Seller hereby informs Buyer that Seller is currently contesting Real Estate Taxes for the Current Tax Period.

Buyer on Buyer's own behalf and on behalf of Buyer's agents, members, partners, shareholders, officers, directors, beneficiaries, employees, representatives, related and affiliated entities, successors and assigns (collectively, the "Buyer Parties") hereby agrees that in no event or circumstance shall any of the Seller Released Parties have any personal liability under this Agreement to any party in connection with the Property. Subject to the limitations expressly provided for in this Section 11, each of Seller and Buyer shall indemnify and hold the other harmless as follows:
11.1 From and after the Closing and subject to the provisions of this Section 11, Seller shall indemnify and hold Buyer and the Buyer Parties harmless from and against any and all costs, fees, expenses, damages, deficiencies, interest and penalties (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) suffered or incurred by any such indemnified party in connection with any and all losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses (“Losses”), arising out of, or in any way resulting from, (a) any breach of any representation or warranty of Seller contained in this Agreement or in any Closing Document other than any Buyer Known Breach and (b) any breach of any covenant of Seller contained in this Agreement or in any Closing Document.
11.2 From and after the Closing and subject to the provisions of this Section 11, Buyer shall indemnify and hold Seller and its Affiliates, members, partners, shareholders, officers and directors (collectively, the “Seller Parties”) harmless from any and all Losses arising out of, or in any way resulting from, (a) any breach of any representation or warranty by Buyer contained in this Agreement or in any Closing Document other than any Seller Known Breach, and (b) any breach of any covenant of Buyer contained in this Agreement or in any Closing Document.
11.3 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if the Closing is consummated, neither Buyer nor Seller shall have any liability to the other following the Closing with respect to Section 9.3, Section 9.4 or the indemnities provided for in Section 11.1 and 11.2 above, as applicable, unless and until the aggregate amount of the Losses suffered by Buyer or Seller, as the case may be, by reason of any such breach of representations, warranties or covenants by the other exceeds Twenty Five Thousand Dollars ($25,000.00) (the “Basket”); but then in such event, the Losses that the non-defaulting party may collect shall begin with and include the first dollar of such loss. Each of Seller's and Buyer’s total liability with respect to the indemnities provided for in Section 11.1 and 11.2 above, as applicable, is limited to an amount equal to two percent (2%) of the Purchase Price (the “Cap”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the covenants and obligations contained in Section 4.6.2, S
-34-
ection 6.6, Section 6.9 and hereof shall not be subject to the Basket and Cap limitations set forth in this Section 11.3. In furtherance of the foregoing, (a) Buyer acknowledges and agrees that in no event shall Buyer have the right to seek or obtain consequential, punitive, special or exemplary damages or damages for lost profits against the Seller and (b) Seller acknowledges and agrees that in no event shall Seller have the right to seek or obtain consequential, punitive, special or exemplary damages or damages for lost profits against the Buyer. The provisions of this Section 11 shall survive the Closing and the recordation of the Deeds, and shall not be deemed merged into the Deeds or other documents or instruments delivered at the Closing. Any claim made in connection with said indemnities shall be made within nine (9) months after the Closing or termination or shall be automatically null and void and of no force or effect whatsoever; provided however that neither party shall be entitled to indemnification under this Section 11 with respect to a breach of a representation or warranty or covenant of this Agreement of which such party had actual knowledge prior to Closing, it being understood and agreed that all remedies with respect to any such breach actually discovered by such prior to Closing shall be as set forth in Section 5.1 or 5.2, as applicable. In no event shall Buyer be entitled to seek or obtain consequential, speculative, special, punitive or exemplary damages against Seller. In no event shall Seller be entitled to seek or obtain consequential, speculative, special, punitive or exemplary damages against Buyer.
12. Release. Except for those obligations of Seller which, by the express terms of this Agreement, survive Closing (but subject to any limitations otherwise set forth in this Agreement), Buyer on Buyer's own behalf and, to the extent permitted by law, on behalf of each of the Buyer Parties hereby agrees that, upon Closing, each of Seller and the other Seller Released Parties shall be automatically fully and forever released from any and all liabilities, losses, claims (including third party claims), demands, damages (of any nature whatsoever), causes of action, costs, penalties, fines, judgments, attorneys' fees, consultants' fees and costs and experts' fees, whether direct or indirect, known or unknown, foreseen or unforeseen (collectively, "Claims") that may arise on account of or in any way be connected with the Property, including the physical, environmental and structural condition of the Property or any law or regulation applicable thereto, and including any Claim or matter (regardless of when it first appeared) relating to or arising: (a) from the presence of any environmental problems, or the use, presence, storage, release, discharge or migration of Hazardous Materials on, in, under or around the Property (including the groundwater under the Property), regardless of when such Hazardous Materials were first introduced in, on or about the Property, (b) from the presence, release and/or remediation of asbestos and asbestos containing materials in, on or about the Property, regardless of when such asbestos and asbestos containing materials were first introduced in, on or about the Property, (c) under any Environmental Law(s), or under common law, in equity or otherwise, with respect to (i) any past, present or future presence or existence of Hazardous Materials on, under or about the Property or (ii) any past, present or future violations of any Environmental Laws, (d) any patent or latent defects or deficiencies with respect to the Property, and (e) any and all matters related to the Property or any portion thereof, including the condition and/or operation of the Property and each part thereof. Without limiting the foregoing, upon Closing Buyer waives and agrees not to commence any action, legal proceeding, cause of action or suits in law or equity, of whatever kind or nature, including any private right of action under the federal superfund laws, 42 U.S.C. Sections 9601 et seq. (as such laws and statutes may be amended,
-35-
supplemented or replaced from time to time), directly or indirectly, against the Seller Released Parties in connection with Claims described above and expressly waives the provisions or rules of laws which provide otherwise. Upon Closing, Buyer assumes all risk for such Claims against the Seller Released Parties which may be brought by Buyer or Buyer Parties heretofore and hereafter arising, whether now known or unknown by Buyer. Without limiting the foregoing, if Buyer has obtained knowledge prior to the Closing Date of (i) a default in any of the covenants, agreements or obligations to be performed by Seller under this Agreement and/or (ii) any breach or inaccuracy in any representation of Seller made in this Agreement, and Buyer nonetheless elects to proceed to Closing, then, upon the consummation of the Closing, Buyer shall be conclusively deemed to have waived any such default and/or breach or inaccuracy and shall have no Claim against Seller or hereunder with respect thereto, including, without limitation pursuant to Section 11 of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein but subject to the provisions of Section 5.2, Seller shall not have any liability whatsoever to Buyer with respect to any matter disclosed to or discovered by Buyer or the Buyer Parties prior to the Closing Date.
For the purposes of this Agreement, (1) the term "Environmental Laws" means any and all federal, state and local statutes, ordinances, orders, rules, regulations, guidance documents, judgments, governmental authorizations, or any other requirements of governmental authorities, as may presently exist or as may be amended or supplemented, or hereafter enacted or promulgated, relating to the presence, release, generation, use, handling, treatment, storage, transportation or disposal of Hazardous Materials, or the protection of the environment or human, plant or animal health, including the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended by the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986 (42 U.S.C.A. § 9601 et seq.), the Hazardous Materials Transportation Act (49 U.S.C. § 1801 et seq.), the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (42 U.S.C. § 6901 et seq.), the Federal Water Pollution Control Act (33 U.S.C. § 1251 et seq.), the Clean Air Act (42 U.S.C. § 7401 et seq.), the Toxic Substances Control Act (15 U.S.C. § 2601 et seq.), the Oil Pollution Act (33 U.S.C. § 2701 et seq.), the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act of 1986 (42 U.S.C. § 11001 et seq.), and all applicable laws of the State of Texas, and (2) the term "Hazardous Material(s)" means any hazardous or toxic material, substance, irritant, chemical or waste, which is (A) defined, classified, designated, listed or otherwise considered under any Environmental Law as a "hazardous waste," "hazardous substance," "hazardous material," "extremely hazardous waste," "acutely hazardous waste," "radioactive waste," "biohazardous waste," "pollutant," "toxic pollutant," "contaminant," "restricted hazardous waste," "infectious waste," "toxic substance," or any other term or expression intended to define, list, regulate or classify substances by reason of properties harmful to health, safety or the indoor or outdoor environment, (B) toxic, ignitable, corrosive, reactive, explosive, flammable, infectious, radioactive, carcinogenic or mutagenic, and which is or becomes regulated by any local, state or federal governmental authority, (C) asbestos and asbestos containing materials, (D) an oil, petroleum, petroleum based product or petroleum additive, derived substance or breakdown product, (E) urea formaldehyde foam insulation, (F) polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), (G) freon and other chlorofluorocarbons, (H) any drilling fluids, produced waters and other wastes associated with the exploration, development or production of crude oil, natural gas or geothermal resources, (I) lead-based paint and (J) mold, rot, fungi and bacterial matter. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that the sole inquiry and
-36-
investigation Seller conducted in connection with the environmental condition of the Property is to obtain the environmental report(s) which are part of the due diligence items and that, for purposes of all applicable Texas law, Seller has acted reasonably in relying upon said inquiry and investigation, and the delivery of this Agreement constitutes written notice to Buyer under such code section.
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

The
-37-
attorneys for any party hereto shall be entitled to provide any notice that a party desires to provide or is required to provide hereunder.
14. Entire Agreement; Participation in Drafting. This Agreement constitutes the entire understanding of the parties and all prior agreements, representations, and understandings between the parties, whether oral or written, are deemed null and void, all of the foregoing having been merged into this Agreement. The parties acknowledge that each party and/or such party's counsel have reviewed and revised this Agreement and that no rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall be employed in the interpretation or enforcement of this Agreement or any amendments or exhibits to this Agreement or any document executed and delivered by either party in connection with this Agreement.

Notwithstanding any assignment as may be consented to by Seller, the original named Buyer hereunder shall not be released, and shall remain liable for, all obligations of the Buyer under this Agreement until Closing (but not thereafter).

For U.S. tax purposes (including Section 1445), the owner of a disregarded entity (which has legal title to a U.S. real property interest under local law) will be the transferor of the property and not the disregarded entity.
To inform Transferee that withholding of tax is not required upon the disposition of a U.S. real property interest by _______, the undersigned Transferor hereby certifies to Transferee:
1. Transferor is not a foreign corporation, foreign partnership, foreign trust, or foreign estate (as those terms are defined in the Code and the Income Tax Regulations promulgated thereunder);
2. Transferor is not a disregarded entity as defined in Section 1.1445-2(b)(2)(iii);
3. Transferor's U.S. tax identification number is _____________; and
4. Transferor's office address is____________________________________.
Transferor understands that this Certification may be disclosed to the Internal Revenue Service by Transferee and that any false statement contained herein could be punished by fine, imprisonment, or both.
Transferor understands that Transferee is relying on this Certification in determining whether withholding is required upon said transfer.
