(a)The term “Permitted Exceptions”, as used in this Agreement means all matters referenced in the Title Commitment that are approved (or deemed approved) by Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement together with such additional items reflected in any update to the Title Commitment or in the Existing Survey (or any update to the Existing Survey) that are approved (or deemed approved) by Purchaser pursuant to the terms of this Section 3.05. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Seller agrees to satisfy (a) those matters referenced in Schedule C of the Title Commitment that are applicable to Seller, (b) any mortgage or deed of trust granted or assumed by Seller; (c) any mechanic’s or materialmen’s lien arising by, through or under Seller; (d) any lien for unpaid and delinquent taxes, assessments, utility, water, sewer or other governmental charges; and (e) any other lien or encumbrance granted, assumed or suffered by Seller and securing the repayment of money or other claims made against Seller (“Mandatory Cure Items”), none of which shall be considered Permitted Exceptions, and Purchaser shall have no obligation to deliver notice in accordance with Section 3.05(b) and (c) below with respect to the Mandatory Cure Items.
(b)Title and Survey Objections. Purchaser may advise Seller in writing and in reasonable detail, not later than ten (10) days prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period, what exceptions to the Title Commitment or the Existing Survey (or any update to the Existing Survey, if obtained) other than Permitted Exceptions (as defined above), if any, are not acceptable to Purchaser (“Title Objections”). Seller shall have three (3) Business Days after receipt of Purchaser’s Title Objections to give Purchaser notice that (i) Seller will remove any Title Objections from title, or (ii) Seller elects not to cause such exceptions to be removed. Seller’s failure to provide notice to Purchaser as to any Title Objection shall be deemed an election by Seller not to remove or insure over the Title Objection. If Seller so notifies or is deemed to have notified Purchaser that Seller will not remove any or all of the Title Objections, Purchaser shall have until before the expiration of the Inspection Period to determine whether to (x) waive such Title Objections which Seller has elected not to remove and proceed with the purchase and take the Property subject to such exceptions which shall thereafter be deemed Permitted Exceptions or (y) to terminate this Agreement. Should Purchaser (a) fail, before the expiration of the Inspection Period, to give Seller the Termination Notice, or (b) deliver the Notice to Proceed prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period, Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected to terminate as set forth in Section 3.01 above. If Purchaser elects to terminate this Agreement in accordance with clause (y) above, the Earnest Money shall be promptly returned to Purchaser and the Parties shall thereupon be released from all further obligations and liabilities under this Agreement, except for those which expressly survive the termination of this Agreement. If, despite using reasonable efforts, Seller is unable to remove any of Purchaser’s Title Objections which Seller has elected to remove under (i) above by the Closing Date, Purchaser shall have the option (in its sole discretion) of either (y) accepting the title as it then is or
6


        
(z) terminating this Agreement, in which event the Earnest Money shall promptly be returned to Purchaser, this Agreement shall terminate and Purchaser and Seller shall have no further obligations or liabilities hereunder other than those which expressly survive a termination of this Agreement.
(c)Conveyance of Title. Title to the Property to be transferred and conveyed to Purchaser by Seller shall be a good and indefeasible title in fee simple, except only for ad valorem taxes not then due and payable and subject only to the Permitted Exceptions and the terms of Deed.
3.06Subsequently Disclosed Exceptions. If any update to the Title Commitment prepared after the expiration of the Inspection Period discloses any additional item which, affects title to the Property and was not disclosed on the original Title Commitment or Existing Survey (the “New Exception”), Purchaser shall have a period of five (5) days from the date of its receipt of such update (the “New Exception Review Period”) to review and notify Seller in writing of Purchaser’s approval or disapproval of the New Exception. If Purchaser fails to deliver such written notice to Seller within the New Exception Period, then Purchaser will be deemed to have approved the New Exception and to have elected to proceed with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in accordance with the terms hereof. Alternatively, if Purchaser, prior to the expiration of the New Exception Review Period, delivers to Seller a written notice of Purchaser’s disapproval of the New Exception, Seller may, in Seller’s sole discretion, notify Purchaser, within three (3) Business Days of Seller’s receipt of Purchaser’s objection notice as to whether Seller is willing to remove the New Exception. If Seller delivers to Purchaser a written notice that Seller is not willing to remove the New Exception or if Seller fails to deliver a notice of approval or disapproval to Purchaser within three (3) Business Days after the expiration of the New Exception Review Period, Seller shall be deemed to have elected not to remove the New Exception and Purchaser may, as its sole and exclusive remedy elect either: (i) to terminate this Agreement, in which event the Earnest Money shall be promptly returned to Purchaser, or (ii) to waive the New Exception and proceed with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, in which event Purchaser shall be deemed to have approved the New Exception. If Purchaser fails to notify Seller of its election to terminate this Agreement in accordance with the foregoing sentence within five (5) Business Days after the expiration of the New Exception Review Period, Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected to approve the New Exception, irrevocably waive any objections to the New Exception, and proceed with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The Closing Date shall be extended as necessary to accommodate the time frames set forth in this Section 3.06. If, despite using reasonable efforts, Seller is unable to remove any New Exception which Seller has elected to remove hereunder by the Closing Date, Purchaser shall have the option (in its sole discretion) of either (y) accepting the title as it then is or (z) terminating this Agreement, in which event the Earnest Money shall promptly be returned to Purchaser, this Agreement shall terminate and Purchaser and Seller shall have no further obligations or liabilities hereunder other than those which expressly survive a termination of this Agreement.
3.07Service Contracts. Attached as Schedule 3.07 is a list of all service contracts, landscaping contracts, garbage removal contracts, maintenance contracts, pest control contracts, commission agreements, equipment leases and other agreements relating to
7


        
the ownership, operation and maintenance of the Property (the “Service Contracts”) as well as a list of all Service Contracts that are not terminable and which must be assumed by Purchaser at Closing (the “Must Assume Contracts”) and a list of all Service Contracts that are subject to a master management agreement with Seller’s property manager that cannot be assumed due to the termination of the Management and Leasing Agreement, as defined below, (the “Cannot Assume Contracts”). As required under Section 3.02 of this Agreement, Seller has delivered copies of all of the Service Contracts to Purchaser. Prior to the end of the Inspection Period, Purchaser shall deliver to Seller a written notice specifying all of the Service Contracts which Purchaser would like to assume (the “Accepted Service Contracts”), provided that Purchaser acknowledges that the Must Assume Contracts are deemed to be Accepted Service Contracts and the Cannot Assume Contracts cannot be accepted and assumed by Purchaser. Purchaser acknowledges that certain of the Service Contracts require vendor consent to an assignment of the applicable Service Contract. Seller agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any such consent but such consent will not be a condition to Closing hereunder; provided that if Seller is unable to obtain such consent with respect to any Must Assume Contract and Purchaser is therefore unable to assume such Must Assume Contract, Purchaser shall have no obligation to assume such Must Assume Contract and Seller shall be responsible for any remaining obligations, liabilities, and/or terminations fees arising out of such Must Assume Contract. Purchaser agrees to reasonably cooperate with Seller in securing a required vendor consent under a Service Contract and will execute a vendor’s required assignment of Service Contract form if required under that Service Contract. On or before the Closing Date, Seller shall terminate, and shall bear the costs of such termination, Seller’s existing agreement with Manager relating to the management and leasing of the Property (the “Management and Leasing Agreement”).

(a)All normally and customarily proratable items, including, without limitation, real estate and personal property taxes assessed against the Property (“Taxes”), property owners association assessments or any other special assessments imposed by private covenant constituting a lien or charge on the Property for the then current calendar year, utility expenses and rents shall be prorated as of the Closing Date, Seller being charged and credited for all of the same through the day immediately prior to such date and Purchaser being charged and credited for all of the same including and after such date. In connection with utilities servicing the Property, Seller shall endeavor to obtain meter readings on the day before the Closing Date, and if such readings are obtained, there shall be no proration of such items. Seller shall pay at Closing the bills therefor for the period to the day preceding the Closing, and Purchaser shall pay the bills therefor for the period subsequent thereto. If the utility company will not issue separate bills, Purchaser will receive a credit against the Purchase Price for Seller’s portion and will pay the entire bill prior to delinquency after Closing.
(b)If the Taxes for the calendar year or other applicable tax period in which the Closing occurs are not known as of the Closing Date, the proration for Taxes will be determined based upon 100% of the most recent ascertainable Taxes. If the actual amounts to be prorated with respect to expenses other than Taxes are not known as of the Closing Date, the prorations with respect to those expenses shall be made on the best information then available. With respect to both Taxes and such other expenses which are not ascertainable as of the Closing Date, promptly after the actual amounts of the Taxes or such other expenses are known, adjustments, if needed, will be made between Seller and Purchaser. Any refund or rebate of Taxes resulting from a tax protest, challenge or appeal (an “Appeal”) for a tax year ending prior to the Closing Date shall belong to Seller, whether received before or after Closing, and Seller shall have the sole authority to prosecute such Appeals for the year in which Closing occurs and any tax year prior to the calendar year in which Closing occurs and Purchaser shall have the sole authority to prosecute such Appeals for any tax year subsequent to the calendar year in which Closing occurs.

13


        
Any refund or rebate of Taxes, less costs incurred in connection therewith, resulting from an Appeal for the tax year in which the Closing Date occurs shall be prorated between the parties as of the Closing Date, whether received before or after Closing, and Seller shall have the sole authority to prosecute any such Appeal. Purchaser will reasonably cooperate with Seller in any protest or other Appeal arising therefrom. Any reasonable costs Seller incurs in such cooperation will be paid out of any refund or rebate of Taxes arising from such protest or other Appeal.
(c)Seller shall be entitled to all deposits held by the providers of utility services to the Real Property. Purchaser shall be solely responsible to make arrangements for the continuation of utility services to the Real Property. Without limitation on the foregoing, Purchaser must, within three (3) Business Days after the Closing Date, post new utility deposits with all providers of utility services to the Real Property in replacement of Seller’s deposits.
(d)All security deposits which have been deposited with Seller under the terms of any existing leases shall be credited to Purchaser at the Closing, and Purchaser will assume all liabilities and obligations of Seller in connection with such security deposits.  
(e)All rents or other income collected with respect to the Property as of the Closing Date for the then current month or that applies to other periods after Closing shall be prorated as of the Closing Date with Purchaser receiving rents and income applicable to the Closing Date and the period thereafter (for the avoidance of doubt, Purchaser shall receive the full amount of any pre-paid rent, parking fees, pet fees or any other fees or deposits paid by the tenants). With respect to uncollected rents for any period prior to Closing (the “Seller’s Rents”), Purchaser shall pay to Seller all of Seller’s Rents on a monthly basis as and to the extent collected by Purchaser in accordance with the terms of this Section 4.07(e) and Section 4.07(f), after the same are collected after the Closing. Purchaser shall make an attempt to collect the Seller’s Rents in the ordinary course of Purchaser’s business (but Purchaser shall not be obligated to engage a collection agency, take legal action, threaten eviction, or draw upon any security deposits to collect same) and, promptly following the date that is ninety (90) days after the Closing Date, Purchaser shall: (i) provide Seller with a written accounting (the “Uncollected Rents Accounting”) of all of Seller’s Rents collected by Purchaser after Closing; and (ii)  promptly pay to Seller all Seller’s Rents not previously remitted by Purchaser to Seller. In no event shall Purchaser have any obligation to attempt to collect Seller Rent after said ninety (90) day period.
(f)In making the computations required under Section 4.07(e) above, all amounts of delinquent rent and expenses collected by Purchaser from tenants after Closing shall be applied: (i) first to Purchaser’s actual and
14


        
reasonable costs of collection, including, without limitation, court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees; (ii) next, to the then-current rents; and (iii) finally, to Seller’s Rents.
(g)Nothing contained in Sections 4.07(e) and 4.07(f) above shall prohibit, limit or restrict Seller from collecting or attempting to collect Seller’s Rents directly from any tenant in any lawful manner after the Closing, but Seller shall not take any legal action against a delinquent tenant or any action to terminate such delinquent tenant’s lease or to evict any tenant, or otherwise seek to terminate any Tenant Lease. Amounts of delinquent rent and expenses collected by Seller from tenants shall be applied (i) first, to Seller’s Rents, (ii) next, to reimburse Seller for expenses incurred by Seller and (iii) finally, to Purchaser if and to the extent any amounts collected by Seller are due in connection with Purchaser’s period of ownership.
(h)Fees and regular charges under Accepted Service Contracts will be prorated between Purchaser and Seller on the basis the periods to which such regular fees and charges relate. In the event that any Accepted Service Contract includes any “door fees” that have been prepaid in advance to Seller or otherwise paid in full to Seller prior to the Closing, then Seller will pay to Purchaser, as a credit at Closing, Purchaser’s share of such door fees for the remaining term under that Service Contract assumed by Purchaser based upon the total term of such Service Contract. By way of example and for avoidance of doubt, if an Accepted Service Contract is for a term of ten (10) years and such Accepted Service Contract has eight (8) years of term remaining at Closing, Seller shall credit Purchaser with 80% of the door fees provided for under such Accepted Service Contract.
(i)Locator fees and referral fees on Tenant Leases (entered into before Closing) which are the obligation of the landlord shall be paid by Seller at or prior to closing and shall not be subject to proration.
(j)Seller shall provide a credit to Purchase at Closing as set forth in, and to the extent required by, Section 5.04(a)(i) and/or Schedule 5.04(a)(i).
(k)The provisions of this Section 4.07 shall survive the Closing.
4.08Real Estate Commissions.
(a)Seller and Purchaser acknowledge and agree that the only broker who has been involved with the origination and negotiation of this Agreement is Berkadia Real Estate Advisors LLC (the “Broker”). Seller will compensate the Broker pursuant to a separate agreement between Seller and Broker.
15

Seller and Purchaser agree to hold harmless, defend, and indemnify each other from any and all claims, suits, liabilities, losses, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs) resulting from any claims made by any broker, agent, finder, or salesman for any real estate sales commission or other compensation, reimbursement or payment of any kind or nature which is alleged to be owed based upon an agreement with the indemnifying party.
(c)The Broker is not a party to this Agreement. This Agreement may be amended or terminated without notice to or the consent of the Broker. The absence of Broker’s signature shall not in any way affect the validity of this Agreement or any amendment to this Agreement.
(d)Purchaser understands and hereby acknowledges that neither the Broker nor any agent operating by, through or under the Broker has any authority to bind Seller to any warranties or representations regarding the Property, and further acknowledges that Purchaser has not relied upon any warranties or representations of the Broker or any agent operating by, through or under the Broker in Purchaser’s decision to purchase the Property.
(e)Purchaser acknowledges that Purchaser has been advised by the Broker, to have an abstract of title on the Real Property examined by an attorney or else to acquire an owner’s policy of title insurance on the Real Property.

(a)Seller agrees that, between the Effective Date of this Agreement and the Closing Date, Seller will not, without the prior written consent of Purchaser:
(i)enter into any new Tenant Leases or amend any existing Tenant Leases which would be binding on Purchaser or the Property after the Closing, except for Tenant Leases entered into or extended in the ordinary course of business and consistent with past practices. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) no new Tenant Lease shall provide for a term less than six (6) months or more than thirteen (13) months (provided that this limitation is not applicable to renewals of existing Tenant Leases on a month to month basis provided that (a) there are never more than twenty (20) Tenant Leases with month-to-month terms at any given time without Purchaser’s prior written consent (in Purchaser’s sole discretion), and (b) the premium for any such month-to-month renewal is not less than 20%) and (ii) each new Tenant Lease or amendment to existing Tenant Leases will comport with the rent and concessions parameters set forth on Schedule 5.04(a)(i)-1 attached hereto.

27


        
Schedule 5.04(a)(i)-2 (the “Existing Tenant Lease Renewal Proposal Chart”). Purchaser hereby agrees that so long as Seller provides Purchaser with written notice of any lease renewal shown on the Existing Tenant Lease Renewal Proposal Chart (on the terms set forth thereon for the respective Tenant Lease listed thereon), Purchaser approval of such renewals shall not be required, provided however that, (a) if any renewal would cause the total month-to-month Tenant Leases at the Property to exceed twenty (20), Purchaser approval shall be required in accordance with the terms above and (b) if any renewal provides for a premium of less than 20% for such respective Tenant Lease, Seller shall provide a credit to Purchaser at Closing in an amount equal to the difference between a 20% premium with respect to such Tenant Lease and the premium offered to such tenant.
(ii)enter into any new Service Contract which would be binding on Purchaser or the Property after the Closing, and Seller shall not (without Purchaser’s written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or unduly delayed by Purchaser) amend, terminate, waive any default under, or grant concessions regarding, any Accepted Service Contract that will be an obligation affecting the Property or Purchaser subsequent to Closing;

28


        
(b)In addition, Seller agrees that, between the Effective Date of this Agreement and the Closing Date:
(i)Seller shall continue to maintain in full force and effect all policies of property insurance now in effect or renewals thereof (or equivalent insurance), and will give all notices and present all claims under all policies of insurance in due and timely fashion.
(ii)During the pendency of this Agreement, Seller shall provide leasing activity and occupancy reports to Purchaser on a weekly basis during the term of this Agreement.
(iii)Seller shall maintain in existence all licenses, permits and approvals which are currently in place with respect to the ownership, operation or improvement of the Property, and shall not (without the written approval of Purchaser, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or unduly delayed) apply or consent to any action or proceedings which will have the effect of terminating or changing such licenses, permits and approvals for the Property.
(iv)Seller shall use reasonable efforts to cause to be performed, in all material respects, its obligations under the Tenant Leases and Service Contracts that may affect the Property. Seller shall promptly deliver to Purchaser any Tenant Leases and/or Service Contracts entered into by Seller and not previously delivered or made available to Purchaser.
(v)Subject to Section 5.04(a)(i), Seller shall continue to market the Property for lease in the same manner as Seller has marketed the Property prior to the Effective Date and will not cancel any advertising contracts now in effect unless approved by Purchaser.

With respect to any such apartment units vacant within five (5) days prior to the Closing Date that are not in Rent Ready Condition on the Closing Date, Seller shall provide Purchaser with a credit against the Purchase Price of Seven Hundred Fifty and 00/100 Dollars ($750.00) per unit.

(viii)Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a service letter from the Municipal Utility District in which the Property is located (the “MUD”) in the form attached hereto as Schedule 5.04(b)(viii) (the “MUD Service Letter”).
(c)Seller hereby agrees that Seller shall remain liable and shall indemnify and hold Purchaser harmless for any and all liabilities, obligations, claims and costs, fees and expenses of any kind or nature (including court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or in connection with the Potential Litigation and/or the Non-Payment Eviction (as defined in Schedule 5.01(xix)). This Section 5.04(c) shall survive Closing indefinitely.
5.05Purchaser Covenants. Purchaser agrees that, between the Effective Date of this Agreement and the Closing Date, Purchaser will not, without the prior written consent of Seller:

30


        

(e)commence any construction activities upon or within the Property; or
(f)transfer, convey, dispose of or remove any portion of the Property.
5.06Condemnation.
(a)If, during the period of time commencing on the Effective Date of this Agreement and terminating on the Closing Date (the “Contract Period”) any entity having condemnation authority institutes or threatens (in a written document delivered to Seller) an eminent domain proceeding with respect to the Property (a “Pending Condemnation”) and either, (a) in the reasonable estimate of the Parties, the loss in value to the Property resulting from such Pending Condemnation will equal or exceed $750,000.00, (b) access to or egress from the Property is materially and permanently impaired, or (c) parking spaces are taken such that the Property no longer complies with applicable zoning or other legal requirements, then: (i) such Pending Condemnation will be considered a “Material Taking” for purposes of this Agreement; and (ii) if such Pending Condemnation is not dismissed on or before the Closing Date, then Purchaser may terminate this Agreement by delivering a written notice of termination to Seller and the Earnest Money shall be immediately returned to Purchaser.
(b)The obligations of Seller and Purchaser under this Agreement shall not be affected by a Pending Condemnation that does not constitute a Material Taking.
(c)If a Pending Condemnation exists during the Contract Period but such Pending Condemnation does not give rise to a Material Taking or if a Material Taking occurs during the Contract Period but Purchaser does not elect to terminate this Agreement, then the Closing shall occur in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement, but: (i) the Purchase Price shall be reduced by the amount of any condemnation proceeds which have been received by Seller with respect to the Property during the Contract Period; and (ii) Seller will assign to Purchaser, at the Closing, all of Seller’s rights to any condemnation proceeds which are payable to Seller with respect to the Property, but which have not yet been received by Seller.
5.07Casualty. Risk of loss up to and including the Closing Date shall be borne by Seller. Seller shall promptly give Purchaser written notice of any damage to the Property, describing such damage, stating whether such damage and loss of rents is covered by insurance and the estimated cost of repairing such damage. In the event of any “material damage” (described below) to the Property, Purchaser may, at its option, by written notice to the Seller given within five (5) Business Days after Seller has provided the above described notice (and if necessary the Closing Date shall be extended to give Purchaser the full five (5)
31


        
Business Day period to make its election): (i) terminate this Agreement and the Earnest Money shall be immediately returned to Purchaser, or (ii) proceed under this Agreement, in which event Purchaser will have the right to participate in the insurance claim and settlement process, and receive any insurance proceeds (including any rent loss applicable to any period on and after the Closing Date) due Seller as a result of such damage and receive a credit at Closing for any deductible amount under said insurance policies. If Purchaser fails to timely make such election, Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected to terminate this Agreement and the Earnest Money shall promptly be returned to Seller. If the Property is not materially damaged, then (i) Purchaser will not have the right to terminate this Agreement, (ii) Purchaser shall have the right to participate in the insurance claim and settlement process, and (iii) at Closing, Purchaser shall receive any insurance proceeds (including any rent loss insurance applicable to any period on and after the Closing Date) due to Seller as a result of such damage and receive a credit at Closing for any deductible amount under said insurance policies. “Material damage” and “materially damaged” means, with respect to the Property, damage that exceeds $750,000.00 to repair.
5.08Notice Regarding Title And Legal Counsel. As required by the Texas Real Estate License Act, Seller hereby advises Purchaser that Purchaser should have the abstract covering the Property examined by an attorney of Purchaser’s own selection, or that Purchaser should be furnished with or obtain a policy of title insurance. By signing this Agreement, Purchaser acknowledges receipt of this notice. Purchaser and Seller further acknowledge that they have been given the opportunity to, and are hereby advised to, consult with an attorney of their choice with regard to this Agreement, the closing documents to be executed in connection herewith and the transaction contemplated by this Agreement.
5.09Notice Regarding District. Purchaser acknowledges and understands that: (a) the Real Property is located in Travis County Municipal Utility District No. 8 (the “District”); and (b)  the Real Property will be conveyed at the Closing subject to assessments and assessment liens in favor of the District. Purchaser acknowledges receipt of the notice regarding such assessments and assessment liens which is attached to this Agreement as Schedule 5.09 (the “Notice to Purchaser”) and is incorporated herein by reference.
5.10Notice Regarding Possible Annexation. If the Property that is the subject of this contract is located outside the limits of a municipality, the Property may now or later be included in the extraterritorial jurisdiction of a municipality and may now or later be subject to annexation by the municipality. Each municipality maintains a map that depicts its boundaries and extraterritorial jurisdiction. To determine if the Property is located within a municipality’s extraterritorial jurisdiction or is likely to be located within a municipality’s extraterritorial jurisdiction, contact all municipalities located in the general proximity of the Property for further information.
5.11Notice of Obligations Related to Membership in Property Owners' Association. If Purchaser acquires the Property, Purchaser is obligated to be a member of a property owners' association. Restrictive covenants governing the use and occupancy of the Property and a dedicatory instrument governing the establishment, maintenance, and operation of this development area have been recorded in the Real Property Records of the county in which the Property is located. Copies of the restrictive covenants and dedicatory
32


        
instrument may be obtained from the county clerk and are referenced in the Title Commitment. Purchaser will be obligated to pay assessments to the property owners' association. The amount of the assessments is subject to change. Your failure to pay the assessments could result in a lien on and the foreclosure of the Property.

VI.
Remedies
6.01Purchaser’s Default and Seller’s Remedies: If Purchaser fails or refuses to timely comply with Purchaser’s obligations to pay the Purchase Price or execute and deliver the documents to be executed and delivered by Purchaser at the Closing pursuant to this Agreement at Closing, and if Seller is not in default of any of Seller’s material obligations under this Agreement and all conditions precedent to Purchaser’s obligation to Close have been satisfied, then Seller may terminate this Agreement and, as Seller’s sole and exclusive remedy: recover or retain the Independent Contract Consideration and the Earnest Money as liquidated damages for the failure or refusal by Purchaser to close the purchase of the Property (“Acquisition Default”). The amount of the Independent Contract Consideration and the Earnest Money shall be the full, agreed and liquidated damages for an Acquisition Default, all other claims to damages or other remedies being hereby expressly and irrevocably waived by Seller. If Purchaser shall default in the performance of any of its material obligations to be performed hereunder that does not constitute an Acquisition Default and, with respect to any such default only, and if such default shall continue for five (5) Business Days after written notice to Purchaser, Purchaser shall be liable to Seller for the actual (but not indirect, consequential or punitive) damages suffered by Seller as a result of such default. In the event of an Acquisition Default by Purchaser, the Independent Contract Consideration and the Earnest Money will be delivered to or retained by Seller as liquidated damages, and not a penalty, in full satisfaction of Seller’s claims against Purchaser with respect to the Acquisition Default only. Seller and Purchaser agree that (y) it is difficult to determine the actual amount of Seller’s damages arising out of an Acquisition Default by Purchaser, but the amount of the Independent Contract Consideration and the Earnest Money is a fair estimate of those damages which has been agreed to by the Parties in a sincere effort to make the damages certain and (z) Seller’s right to retain the Earnest Money shall be Seller’s sole remedy, at law and in equity for an Acquisition Default.
6.02Seller’s Default and Purchaser’s Remedies.
(a)If Purchaser’s conditions to Closing have been fulfilled, and Purchaser is not in material default of any of Purchaser’s obligations at Closing, and Seller fails or refuses to timely comply with Seller’s material obligations under this Agreement (or is unable to do so as the result of any act by Seller in contravention of this Agreement or any failure by Seller to act as required under this Agreement which is not caused by Purchaser’s default) and such failure is not cured within five (5) Business Days after Purchaser delivers written notice of default to Seller (provided that no notice is required with respect to Seller’s obligations on the Closing Date), then, in such event, Purchaser shall have the right to exercise any one of the following remedies as its sole and exclusive remedy: (i) to
33


        
terminate this Agreement by giving written notice of termination to Seller and Escrow Agent, whereupon Escrow Agent shall promptly refund to Purchaser all Earnest Money, and to receive from Seller an amount equal to the actual and reasonable third party out-of-pocket costs incurred by Purchaser in connection with Purchaser’s investigations of the Property (up to but not in excess of $100,000.00); or (ii) Purchaser shall have the right to seek specific performance of the Agreement by Seller if and only if Purchaser complies with all of the preconditions and requirements set out in Section 6.02(b) of this Agreement, it being acknowledged that the Property is unique and that monetary damages would not be an adequate remedy. Purchaser hereby waives any other rights or remedies. Purchaser agrees not to file a lis pendens or other similar notice against the Property except in connection with the filing of a suit for specific performance. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, the total liability of Seller to Purchaser for any breach of Seller’s covenants, representations and warranties under this Agreement shall in all events be limited to a maximum amount of $2,280,000.00. To provide security for any post-Closing claims of Purchaser made to enforce any breach of the representations, warranties, and covenants made by Seller in this Agreement, Stratus Properties Inc., a Delaware corporation, an affiliate of Seller, has executed and delivered the joinder attached hereto. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Seller’s obligations set forth in Section 5.04(c) and liability in connection therewith shall not be subject to the limitations on liability set forth in this Section 6.02.
(b)Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, it is specifically agreed and understood that Purchaser will not have the right to enforce specific performance of Seller’s obligations under this Agreement or to place a lis pendens on the Property or otherwise encumber the Property in any way until and unless: (i) Purchaser timely tenders full performance under this Agreement by delivering to the Title Company, on or before the Closing Date, fully executed originals of all documents required to be executed by Purchaser under the terms and provisions of this Agreement, and is ready and willing to deliver cash or other readily available funds in an amount sufficient to cover the cash portion of Purchase Price plus all expenses which are required to be paid by Purchaser under the terms and provisions of this Agreement; (ii) despite such tender by Purchaser at the Closing, Seller fails or refuses to close the transaction evidenced by this Agreement; (iii) Purchaser institutes, within thirty (30) days after the Closing Date, an action in a court with jurisdiction and in the venue specified under this Agreement (the “Court”), seeking to enforce specific performance of Seller’s obligations under this Agreement. If Purchaser satisfies the foregoing requirements, then all sums held by the Title Company as Earnest Money shall be tendered to the Court and will be retained by the Court until all disputes between the Parties related to this Agreement have been resolved, either by final non-appealable judgment or by final binding settlement agreement between the Parties. Each Party agrees to execute and deliver such joint instructions, joint motions and other instruments as may be necessary to effectuate the transfer of the funds from the Title Company to the Court contemplated under this Section 6.02(b). PURCHASER HERBY WAIVES ALL RIGHTS WHICH PURCHASER HAS OR MAY HAVE TO ENFORCE SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE OF SELLER’S OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT AND/OR TO PLACE A LIS
34


        
PENDENS ON THE PROPERTY WITHOUT SATISFYING THE REQUIREMENTS AND CONDITIONS SET OUT IN THIS SECTION 6.02(b).
6.03Purchaser’s Post Termination Obligations. If this Agreement is terminated for any reason (either by Purchaser or by Seller), then Purchaser shall: (a) repair all damage to the Property (if any) arising out of any inspections, tests or other activities of Purchaser and/or any of the Purchaser Parties; (b) return to Seller or destroy all studies, reports, surveys and other documents or information of any kind or nature which have been provided by Seller to Purchaser; provided, however, Purchaser may keep a copy of any such documents if required for its records to the extent required by applicable law or regulatory authority or Purchaser’s internal compliance requirements or in accordance with Purchaser’s automated backup archiving practices; provided, however, that the confidentiality obligations set forth in this Agreement shall survive so long as such archival copies are retained; (c) [intentionally deleted]; (d) remove all liens against the Property which have arisen due to any activities of Purchaser or any of the Purchaser Parties; (e) compensate Seller for any damages arising out of any breach or default by Purchaser under any of Purchaser’s representations, warranties, covenants and agreements under Sections 5.02 and 5.05 of this Agreement; and (f) reimburse Seller for all expenses, costs and liabilities of any kind or nature (including without limitation attorneys’ fees and court costs) incurred by Seller in connection with the enforcement of any of the obligations of Purchaser under this Section 6.03 and/or in connection with the performance by Seller of any of the obligations of Purchaser under this Section 6.03 (provided, however, that Seller will deliver to Purchaser written notice at least three (3) Business Days prior to performing any of Purchaser’s obligations under this Section 6.03). The obligations of Purchaser under this Section 6.03 are referred to in this Agreement collectively as the “Post Termination Obligations”. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, the Post Termination Obligations shall survive any termination of this Agreement, and the Post Termination Obligations shall not (regardless of any liquidated damages provisions in this Agreement) be deemed to be satisfied in whole or in part by the delivery to Seller of all or any portion of the Earnest Money.
6.04Disposition of the Earnest Money.
(a)Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, the provisions in this Agreement relating to the Earnest Money shall survive any termination of this Agreement.
(b)If the sale and purchase of the Property is consummated under the terms and provisions of this Agreement, then the Earnest Money will be credited and applied against the cash sums which are payable by Purchaser at the Closing.
(c)If Purchaser terminates this Agreement under the terms and provisions of this Agreement that permit the Earnest Money to be returned to Purchaser, then the Earnest Money will be promptly disbursed to Purchaser after such termination. Without limitation on the generality of the foregoing, Purchaser expressly agrees and hereby acknowledges that if this Agreement is terminated under the terms and provisions of Section 6.01 of this Agreement, then the Earnest Money will be
35


        
disbursed to and retained by Seller and Purchaser will have no right to receive a return or refund of an portion of the Earnest Money.
IF THIS AGREEMENT IS NOT TERMINATED UNDER THE TERMS AND PROVISIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT THAT EXPRESSLY PERMIT THE EARNEST MONEY TO BE RETURNED TO PURCHASER, THEN THE EARNEST MONEY WILL BE COMPLETELY “AT RISK” AND WILL BE REFUNDABLE TO PURCHASER ONLY IF SELLER DEFAULTS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, SELLER DOES NOT CURE SUCH DEFAULT WITHIN ITS APPLICABLE CURE PERIOD AND PURCHASER TERMINATES THIS AGREEMENT UNDER THE TERMS AND PROVISIONS OF SECTION 6.02 OF THIS AGREEMENT.
6.05Enforcement Costs: In the event of any dispute between the Parties arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, the prevailing Party in such dispute shall be entitled to recover from the non-prevailing Party all of the prevailing Party’s costs and expenses in connection with such dispute, including without limitation court costs, expert witness fees and reasonable attorney’s fees.
6.06WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. THE PARTIES BOTH HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVE ALL OF THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO TRIAL BY JURY WITH RESPECT TO ANY AND ALL DISPUTES OF ANY KIND OR NATURE WHICH ARE BASED ON OR WHICH ARISE OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH: (A) THIS AGREEMENT; OR (B) ANY DOCUMENT, INSTRUMENT OR OTHER AGREEMENT WHICH IS EXECUTED OR IS CONTEMPLATED TO BE EXECUTED IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT; OR (C) ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALING, STATEMENT (WHETHER VERBAL OR WRITTEN) OR ACTION OF EITHER PARTY WHICH RELATES TO, CONCERNS OR ARISES OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY DOCUMENT, INSTRUMENT OR OTHER AGREEMENT EXECUTED OR CONTEMPLATED TO BE EXECUTED IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT. THE FOREGOING WAIVER SHALL APPLY TO ANY AND ALL LITIGATION OF ANY KIND OR NATURE, WHETHER IN CONTRACT OR TORT, AT LAW OR IN EQUITY, AND WHETHER RELATED TO ANY DIRECT CLAIM, COUNTERCLAIM, CROSS CLAIM OR THIRD PARTY CLAIM. EACH PARTY CERTIFIES TO THE OTHER PARTY THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR COUNSEL OF THE OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR IMPLICITLY, TO SUCH PARTY THAT THE OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THIS WAIVER. NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR COUNSEL OF EITHER PARTY HAS THE AUTHORITY TO WAIVE, CONDITION OR MODIFY THIS WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EITHER PARTY MAY FILE A COPY OF THIS SECTION 6.06 WITH ANY COURT AS CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE THAT BOTH PARTIES HAVE WAIVED THEIR RIGHTS TO TRIAL BY JURY. THIS WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR THE PARTIES TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT.
