ARTICLE 4
Survey and Title Commitment
Section 4.1 Title and Survey.
(a) Seller, at its expense, shall obtain and deliver to Purchaser within ten (10) days after the Effective Date, a current, effective commitment for title insurance (the “Title Commitment”) issued by the Title Company, wherein the Title Company shall commit to issue to Purchaser a standard Texas form of owner’s title insurance policy (the “Owner’s Title Insurance Policy”) in the amount of the Purchase Price, naming Purchaser as the proposed insured, and accompanied by copies of all documents referred to in the Title Commitment. Seller has previously obtained an on-the-ground survey of the Property prepared in accordance with the Texas Surveyors Association Standards and Specifications for a Category IA, Condition II survey (including field notes) or a current ALTA land title survey of the Property (meeting the Minimum Standard Survey Requirements applicable to improved property as adopted by ALTA and ASCM) (as applicable, the “Survey”) (the “Surveyor”). Purchaser, at Purchaser’s expense, shall have the right to cause the Surveyor to update the Survey. The Survey, and any revisions thereto, shall be promptly delivered to Seller upon Purchaser’s receipt of same.
(b) Purchaser shall have until the Title Objection Date to give Seller a written notice (the “Title Objection Notice”) that sets forth any objections that Purchaser has to title or survey matters affecting the Property (the “Purchaser Title Objections”); provided, however, Purchaser shall have no right to object to any of the matters set forth within subsections (a) through (d) of the definition of Permitted Exceptions. Seller shall have five (5) business days from its receipt of the Title Objection Notice (“Seller’s Title Election Period”) to give Purchaser notice as to whether Seller elects to use reasonable efforts to cure the Purchaser Title Objections by the Closing Date. If Seller fails to give Purchaser written notice of such election before the end of Seller’s Title Election Period, Seller shall be deemed to have elected not to attempt to cure the Purchaser Title Objections. If Seller elects or is deemed to have elected not to attempt to cure any one or more of the Purchaser Title Objections, such Purchaser Title Objections shall constitute Permitted Exceptions and Purchaser shall have until the end of the Study Period to determine whether to take title to the Property subject to such matters or to terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 5.2. If Seller elects to use reasonable efforts to cure any one or more of the Purchaser Title Objections, Seller shall have until the Closing Date to complete such cure, failing which Purchaser shall have the option of either accepting the title as it then is or terminating this Agreement. If Purchaser elects to terminate this Agreement in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence, (i) the Deposit (including the Extension Fee) shall be returned to Purchaser, and (ii) except for Purchaser’s Surviving Obligations or any other provisions of this Agreement that expressly survive termination, Seller and Purchaser shall have no further obligations or liabilities to each other hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all Seller Mortgages will be satisfied by Seller on or prior to the Closing Date or, if not so satisfied, shall be satisfied at Closing out of the proceeds otherwise payable to Seller such that none of the Seller Mortgages shall constitute Permitted Exceptions.
(c) Purchaser shall be entitled to request that the Title Company provide such endorsements (including the deletion of the standard printed survey exception from the Owner’s Title Insurance Policy, except for “shortages in area”) to the Owner’s Title Insurance Policy as Purchaser may reasonably require, provided (i) such endorsements or amendments shall be at no cost to, and shall impose no additional liability on, Seller, (ii) Purchaser’s obligations under this Agreement shall not be conditioned upon its ability to obtain such endorsements and, if Purchaser is unable to obtain such endorsements, Purchaser shall nevertheless be
obligated to proceed to close the transactions contemplated hereby without reduction of or set off against the Purchase Price, (iii) the Closing shall not be delayed as a result of Purchaser’s request, and (iv) Purchaser shall have the right to substitute a different title company to serve as Title Company hereunder if the substitute title company will provide Purchaser with title insurance endorsements or other coverage that the Title Company originally named herein otherwise refuses to issue; provided that (A) Purchaser shall be solely responsible for all costs and expenses associated with such substitution, (B) the Closing Date shall not be extended or delayed to accommodate such substitution and (C) Seller shall incur no additional obligations and/or expenses in connection therewith.
ARTICLE 5
Inspection, Audit and Financing
Section 5.1 Study Period.
(a) During the Initial Study Period, Purchaser, personally or through its authorized agent or representative, shall be entitled upon reasonable advance notice to Seller to enter upon the Property during normal business hours and shall have the right to make such investigations, including appraisals, engineering studies, soil tests, environmental studies and underwriting analyses, as Purchaser deems necessary or advisable, subject to the following limitations: (a) such access shall not violate any law or agreement to which Seller is a party or otherwise expose Seller to a material risk of liability; (b) Purchaser shall give Seller written notice at least twenty-four (24) hours before conducting any inspections, and a representative of Seller shall have the right to be present when Purchaser or its representatives conducts its or their investigations on the Property; (c) neither Purchaser nor its representatives shall unreasonably interfere with the use, occupancy or enjoyment of the Property by Seller or its respective employees, contractors, customers or guests; (d) neither Purchaser nor its agents shall damage the Property or any portion thereof; (e) unless Seller agrees otherwise, before Purchaser or its agents enter onto the Property, Purchaser shall deliver to Seller a certificate of insurance naming Seller as an additional insured, evidencing commercial general liability insurance (including property damage, bodily injury and death) issued by an insurance company having a rating of at least “A-VII” by A.M. Best Company, with limits of at least $2,000,000 per occurrence for bodily or personal injury or death and $5,000,000 aggregate per location; (f) Purchaser shall: (i) use reasonable efforts to perform all on-site due diligence reviews on an expeditious and efficient basis; and (ii) indemnify, hold harmless and defend the Seller Parties against, and hold the Seller Parties harmless for, from and against, all loss, liability, claims, costs (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), liens and damages resulting from or relating to the activities of Purchaser or its agents under this paragraph; provided, however, Seller shall use its good faith efforts to provide written notice to Purchaser of (1) any physical damage to the Property or (2) any claims incurred by Seller as a result of Purchaser’s inspections on the Property within ten (10) days after Seller’s discovery of such physical damage or claims, and (g) without Seller’s prior written consent, which Seller may give or withhold in its reasonable discretion, Purchaser shall not conduct any Phase II exams, soil borings or other invasive tests on or around the Property. The foregoing indemnification obligation shall not extend to, and Purchaser shall not be liable to Seller for (x) any claims, liens, actions, suits, proceedings, costs, expenses, damages or other liabilities to the extent arising from the negligence or willful misconduct of the Seller Parties, or (y) loss of value or similar damages which may result from Purchaser’s discovery of an adverse environmental or other condition during the course of its inspection of the Property. The foregoing indemnification obligation shall survive the Closing or earlier termination of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser shall only be obligated to restore any damage caused by such investigations if the Closing does not occur pursuant to the terms hereof, provided that Purchaser shall be obligated to restore any damage in the Long Term Leased Premises or the Short Term Leased Premises, as applicable, caused by Purchaser’s investigations regardless of whether the Closing occurs. Purchaser’s obligation to repair shall survive the Closing or earlier termination of this Agreement. Notwithstanding
anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Seller and Purchaser acknowledge and agree that to the extent Purchaser is entitled to a refund of the Deposit pursuant to the terms hereof, a portion of the Deposit reasonably necessary for Purchaser to satisfy its repair obligations set forth in this Section 5.1(a), as determined by Seller and Purchaser in their mutual and reasonable discretion, shall be withheld by the Escrow Agent for the sole purpose of satisfying such repair obligations, and such withheld portion shall be released to Purchaser upon Purchaser’s satisfaction of such repair obligations. Further, during the Study Period, Seller agrees to make available to Purchaser, or to its duly authorized agents or representatives, copies of all applicable books and records, contracts and other relevant, material documents relating to the Property and the operation and maintenance thereof, to the extent that such materials are in Seller’s possession or control and do not constitute Excluded Items. Such items may be examined at all reasonable times during normal business hours upon prior reasonable notice to Seller.
(b) Purchaser shall have the right to extend the Initial Study Period for thirty (30) days (the “Extended Study Period”) by (i) delivering written notice to Seller prior to the expiration of the Initial Study Period, and (ii) depositing with the Title Company, prior to the expiration of the Initial Study Period, an amount equal to One Hundred Fifty Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($150,000.00) (the “Extension Fee”), which Extension Fee shall be added to the Deposit for all purposes hereunder; provided, however, except as expressly provided in this Agreement, the Extension Fee shall be non-refundable in the event this Agreement is terminated.
Section 5.2 Notice to Proceed. Subject to the terms and provisions of Section 2.3 hereof, if Purchaser has elected to proceed with this Agreement, Purchaser shall send Seller the Notice to Proceed on or prior to the expiration of the Study Period, in which case, Purchaser shall have waived its right to terminate this Agreement and shall be obligated to purchase the Property in accordance with the terms hereof. If Purchaser fails to send a Notice to Proceed on or prior to the expiration of the Study Period, this Agreement shall automatically terminate and thereupon (i) the Deposit shall be returned to Purchaser, and (ii) except for Purchaser’s Surviving Obligations or any other provisions of this Agreement that expressly survive termination, Seller and Purchaser shall have no further obligations or liabilities to each other hereunder.
Section 5.3 Confidentiality.
(a) Prior to Closing, Purchaser shall hold all Confidential Information in confidence and shall not disclose or permit the disclosure of the Confidential Information to any Person without Seller’s prior written consent. Purchaser further agrees that, before the Closing, Purchaser will use the Confidential Information only for purposes of evaluating the Property in connection with its purchase thereof in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Prior to the Closing, Purchaser shall not disclose the transaction contemplated hereby or the Confidential Information to any Person, other than to such of its employees, officers, directors, attorneys, accountants, architects, partners, consultants, clients, affiliates, advisors and prospective lenders who (i) have a need to review the Confidential Information for the purpose of advising Purchaser on the suitability of the Property for purchase, (ii) have been informed of the confidential nature of such information and (iii) have agreed to be bound by the terms of this Agreement. Purchaser shall ensure that all persons to whom it discloses the Confidential Information shall keep the same confidential in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. In any event, Purchaser shall be responsible for any breach of this Agreement by any of its employees, officers, directors, attorneys, accountants, architects, partners, consultants, clients, affiliates, advisors or prospective lenders.
(b) Notwithstanding the above terms, to the extent Purchaser is required to disclose the Confidential Information by law, regulation or stock exchange rule or pursuant to a subpoena, court order or other legal proceeding, Purchaser shall notify Seller (both by telephone and in writing) within one (1) Business Day of its knowledge of such legally required disclosure. Purchaser shall cooperate (at no material
cost to Purchaser) with Seller’s counsel in any appeal or challenge to such disclosure made by Seller. If no protective order or similar relief is obtained, Purchaser shall (i) disclose only that portion of the Confidential Information that it is legally obligated to disclose, (ii) exercise reasonable efforts to obtain reliable assurances that the disclosed information will be kept confidential and (iii) exercise reasonable efforts to provide Seller with a copy of the information to be disclosed before the same is given to any third party. In addition, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Purchaser may disclose any portion of the Confidential Information that is generally available to the public, other than any portion of the Confidential Information that becomes available to the public as a result of a previous disclosure by Purchaser in violation of this Agreement.
(c) If this Agreement is terminated, then within three (3) Business Days following Seller’s request, (i) Purchaser shall promptly destroy or deliver to Seller all originals of the Confidential Information (or portions thereof requested by Seller), which is in tangible form, and (ii) Purchaser shall destroy all copies, extracts, summaries and compilations thereof and references thereto which are in Purchaser’s notes, documents, databases or other records (whether prepared by Purchaser or by Seller), and in either case Purchaser will certify to the Seller by written affidavit that it has done so.
(d) Purchaser acknowledges that the Confidential Information is of a special, unique, unusual, extraordinary and intellectual character and that the Seller’s interest in the Confidential Information may be irreparably injured by disclosure of such Confidential Information in violation of this Agreement. Purchaser further acknowledges and agrees that money damages would not be a sufficient remedy for any breach of Section 5.3 of this Agreement by it and that, in addition to all other remedies available at law or in equity, Seller shall be entitled to specific performance or injunctive or other equitable relief as a remedy for any breach or potential breach by Purchaser of Section 5.3 of this Agreement and further agrees to waive any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in connection with such remedy.
The provisions of this Section 5.3 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
Section 5.4 Reporting. In the event Purchaser’s due diligence reveals any condition of the Property that in Purchaser’s judgment requires disclosure to any governmental agency or authority, Purchaser shall immediately notify Seller thereof. In such event, Seller, and not Purchaser or anyone acting on Purchaser’s behalf, shall make such disclosures as Seller deems appropriate.
Section 5.5 Assumption of Contracts. On or prior to the last day of the Study Period, Purchaser shall give notice to Seller of any Contracts Purchaser elects to have continue after Closing (the “Continuing Contract Notice”), and such Contracts, if assignable by Seller, shall be assigned to and assumed by Purchaser at Closing pursuant to the Assignment and Assumption Agreement. All Contracts as to which Purchaser does not timely give a Continuing Contract Notice shall be terminated by Seller at no cost or liability to Purchaser by Seller sending a termination notice to the applicable service provider on or before the Closing Date, it being understood and agreed that the actual effective date of the termination may not occur until after the Closing (in which event, such Contract shall be assigned to Purchaser, but subject to the termination notice). Prior to the expiration of the Study Period, Seller shall provide notice to Purchaser within a reasonable time following (i) Seller’s modification, extension or amendment of any existing Contracts that materially affect the Property and/or (ii) Seller’s entry into any new Contracts that materially affect the Property; provided, however, any such modified, extended, amended, or new Contracts must be, at Purchaser’s option, terminable by Purchaser on a post-Closing basis at no cost or liability to Purchaser, or fully performed by Seller on or before the Closing Date. Seller shall use its reasonable efforts to have as many of such Contracts terminated on or prior to the Closing Date as reasonably practical. Following the expiration of the Study Period, Seller will not, without the prior written consent of Purchaser (which consent may be withheld in Purchaser’s sole discretion), (a) enter into any Contract that will not be fully performed by Seller on or before
the Closing Date, or (b) amend, modify or supplement any existing Contract in any material respect (except to the extent Seller is obligated to terminate any of the same pursuant to the terms hereof).
Section 5.6 Property Information. Within five (5) days after the Effective Date, to the extent Seller has not previously provided same to Purchaser, Seller shall provide Purchaser with copies of the documents and information more particularly described in Exhibit B attached hereto, to the extent same are within Seller’s possession or control and pertain to the Property (collectively, the “Property Information”). Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that such Property Information is being provided to Purchaser without representations or warranties of any kind.

(a) Purchaser acknowledges that it is an experienced and sophisticated purchaser of commercial real estate projects such as the Property and that, prior to the end of the Study Period, it will have a full and complete opportunity to conduct such investigations, examinations, inspections and analyses of the Property as Purchaser, in its absolute discretion, may deem appropriate.

(b) Purchaser agrees that the Property shall be sold and that Purchaser shall accept possession of the Property on the Closing Date strictly on an “AS IS, WHERE IS” AND “WITH ALL FAULTS, LIABILITIES, AND DEFECTS, LATENT OR OTHERWISE, KNOWN OR UNKNOWN” basis, with no right of set-off or reduction in the Purchase Price, and that, except for the Seller Representations, such sale shall be without representation or warranty of any kind, express or implied, including any warranty of income potential, operating expenses, uses, merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose, and Seller does hereby disclaim and renounce any such representation or warranty, except for the Seller Representations. Purchaser specifically acknowledges that, except for the Seller Representations, Purchaser is not relying on any representations or warranties of any kind whatsoever, express or implied, from Seller, any other Seller Party or any broker or other agents as to any matters concerning the Property including: (1) the value of the Property; (2) any income to be derived from the Property; (3) the suitability of the Property for any and all activities and uses which Purchaser may conduct thereon, including the possibilities for further development of the Property or construction thereon; (4) the habitability, merchantability, marketability, profitability or fitness for a particular purpose of the Property or any improvements thereon; (5) the manner, quality, state of repair or lack of repair on the Property or any improvements thereon; (6) the nature, quality or condition of the Property, including with respect to water conditions, soil, geological or geotechnical condition (including soil expansiveness, corrosivity, or stability, or seismic, hydrological, geological and topographical conditions and configurations, including, without limitation, any opinions or conclusions of any soils engineer(s) retained to perform geotechnical and/or soils studies or to oversee any soils engineering aspects of developing the Property); (7) the compliance of or by the Seller, the Property, or its operation with any codes, laws, rules, ordinances, regulations of any applicable governmental authority or body; (8) the manner or quality of the construction or materials incorporated into the Property; (9) compliance with environmental laws or land use laws, rules, regulations, orders, codes or requirements, including, but not limited to, the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, the Federal Water Pollution Control Act, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency regulations at 40 CFR, Part 261, the Clean Water Act, the Safe Drinking Water Act, the Hazardous Materials Transportation Act, the Toxic Substance Control Act, and/or any rules or regulations

(c) Except as expressly provided below in this Section 7.1(c), Purchaser, for Purchaser and Purchaser’s successors and assigns, hereby releases Seller and the other Seller Parties from, and irrevocably and unconditionally waives all claims and liability against Seller and each of the other Seller Parties for or attributable to, the following:
(i) any and all statements or opinions heretofore or hereafter made, or information furnished, by or on behalf of the Seller Parties to Purchaser or any of Purchaser’s agents or representatives; and
(ii) any and all losses, costs, claims, liabilities, expenses, demands or obligations of any kind or nature whatsoever, whether known or unknown and foreseen or unforeseen, attributable to the Property, whether arising or accruing before, on or after the Closing and whether attributable to events or circumstances which have heretofore or may hereafter occur, including all losses, costs, claims, liabilities, expenses, demands and obligations with respect to the structural, physical, or environmental condition of the Property including claims or liabilities relating to the presence, discovery or removal of any Hazardous Materials in, at, under or about the Property and any other matters described in Section 7.1(b);
provided, however, the release and waiver set forth in this Section 7.1(c) is not intended and shall not be construed to affect or impair any rights or remedies that Purchaser may have against Seller as a result of a breach of any of Seller Representations or of any covenant of Seller expressly set forth in this Agreement, or any fraud by the Seller Parties, subject to the terms and limitations on Seller’s liability as set forth elsewhere in this Agreement.
Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that (1) Purchaser may hereinafter discover facts different from or in addition to those now (or as of the Closing) known to Purchaser, (2) Purchaser’s agreement to release, acquit and discharge Seller and the other Seller Parties as set forth herein shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the existence or discovery of any such additional or different facts, (3) Purchaser knowingly waives any rights, privileges and benefits under any federal, state or local law which may negatively impact the validity or enforceability of any part of the releases set forth in this Agreement, (4) upon the completion of the Closing, Seller shall be deemed to have satisfied all of Seller’s obligations, covenants and liabilities
in this Agreement and in any documents executed by Seller in connection herewith other than those obligations of Seller that, by the express terms of this Agreement, survive the Closing (in which case such survival shall be subject to the limitations set forth in this Agreement), and (5) Purchaser irrevocably covenants never to commence or prosecute, or to collude with others to commence or prosecute, against Seller or any other Seller Party any action or proceeding based upon any claim covered by the foregoing release.
Purchaser understands the legal significance of the foregoing provisions and acknowledges and agrees that the provisions of Section 7.1(b) and this Section 7.1(c) were a material factor in Sellers’ acceptance of the Purchase Price and that Sellers are unwilling to sell the Property unless Sellers and the other Seller Parties are expressly released as set forth in Section 7.1(b) and this Section 7.1(c).
The releases contained in Section 7.1(b) and this Section 7.1(c) and elsewhere in this Agreement include claims of which Purchaser is presently unaware or which Purchaser does not presently suspect to exist, which, if known by Purchaser, would materially affect Purchaser’s release of Seller. Purchaser specifically waives the provisions of any law of any state, territory or jurisdiction the import of which is as follows:
A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the provisions of Section 7.1(b) and this Section 7.1(c) shall survive the Closing;
(d) The above named Purchaser is a corporation, duly formed, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware, and is qualified in Texas as a foreign corporation. This Agreement constitutes the valid and legally binding obligation of Purchaser, enforceable against Purchaser in accordance with its terms;
(e) There are no actions, suits or proceedings pending or, to the knowledge of Purchaser, threatened, against or affecting Purchaser which, if determined adversely to Purchaser, would adversely affect its ability to perform its obligations hereunder;
(f) Neither the execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement nor compliance herewith (a) conflicts or will conflict with or results or will result in a breach of or constitutes or will constitute a default under (1) the organizational documents of Purchaser, (2) to the best of Purchaser’s knowledge, any law or any order, writ, injunction or decree of any court or governmental authority, or (3) any agreement or instrument to which Purchaser is a party or by which it is bound or (b) results in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon its property pursuant to any such agreement or instrument;
(g) No authorization, consent, approval of any governmental authority (including courts) is required for the execution and delivery by Purchaser of this Agreement or the performance of its obligations hereunder;
(h) Purchaser is either acting as a principal in this transaction or is acting for an investor over which Purchaser has discretionary authority in connection with the transaction contemplated hereby; and
(i) Purchaser is not, and will not be, a Person with whom Seller is restricted from doing business under the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001, H.R. 3162, Public Law 107-56 (commonly known as the “USA Patriot Act”) and Executive Order Number 13224 on Terrorism Financing, effective September 24, 2001 and regulations
promulgated pursuant thereto (collectively, “Anti-Terrorism Laws”), including persons and entities named on the Office of Foreign Asset Control Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons List.

Section 7.3 Seller’s Knowledge. Whenever a representation is qualified by the phrase “to the best of Seller’s knowledge”, or by words of similar import, the accuracy of such representation shall be based solely on the actual (as opposed to constructive or imputed) knowledge of the Designated Seller Representative, without independent investigation or inquiry. Purchaser acknowledges that the Designated Seller Representative is named solely for the purpose of defining the scope of Seller’s knowledge and not for the purpose of imposing any liability on or creating any duties running from the Designated Seller Representative to Purchaser and Purchaser agrees that no Designated Seller Representative shall have any liability under this Agreement or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby.

Prorations of annual payments will be made based on the number of days of ownership in the applicable annual period.
(b) Taxes. All real estate taxes and/or assessments assessed against the Real Property, including, but not limited to real estate taxes and/or assessments assessed by Montgomery County, Texas, The Woodlands Township, and the Woodlands Road Utility District, shall be prorated between Seller and Purchaser on an accrual basis based upon the actual current tax bill. If the most recent tax bill received by Seller before the Closing Date is not the actual current tax bill, then Seller and Purchaser shall initially prorate the taxes at the Closing by applying 100% of the tax rate for the period covered by the most current available tax bill to the latest assessed valuation, and shall reprorate the taxes retroactively when the actual current tax bill is then available; provided, however, in no event shall Seller be charged with or responsible for any increase in real estate taxes resulting from the sale of the Property to Purchaser (including a change in use of the Property) or from any improvements made on or after the Closing. All real estate taxes accruing before the Closing Date shall be the obligation of Seller and all such taxes accruing on and after the Closing Date shall be the obligation of Purchaser. Any refunds of real estate taxes made after the Closing shall first be applied to the unreimbursed third-party costs incurred by Seller or Purchaser in obtaining the refund, and the balance, if any, shall be paid to Seller (for the period prior to the Closing Date) and to Purchaser (for the period commencing on and after the Closing Date). If any proceeding to determine the assessed value of the Real Property or the real estate taxes payable with respect to the Real Property has been commenced before the Effective Date and shall be continuing as of the Closing Date, Seller shall be authorized to continue to prosecute such proceeding and shall be entitled to any abatement proceeds therefrom allocable to any period before the Closing Date, and Purchaser agrees to cooperate as reasonably requested with Seller and to execute any and all documents reasonably requested by Seller in furtherance of the foregoing.
(c) Assessment Installments. If there are special assessments pending against the Property, Seller shall pay any installments of such special assessments that are due and payable prior to the Closing and Purchaser shall pay all installments of such special assessments on or after the Closing; provided, however, Seller shall not be required to pay any installments of special assessments that relate to projects that have not been completed as of the Closing Date.
(d) Utilities. Final readings and final billings for utilities will be made, if possible, as of the Closing Date, in which event no proration shall be made at the Closing with respect to utility bills; otherwise a proration shall be made based upon the parties’ reasonable good faith estimate and a readjustment made within thirty (30) days after Closing. Utility Deposits, plus any interest on the Utility Deposits to which Seller is or will be entitled that are held by the provider of the utilities and which are freely transferable to Purchaser, shall at the election of Seller be assigned by Seller to Purchaser and Purchaser shall pay Seller the full amount thereof at Closing. Seller shall retain the right to obtain a refund of any Utility Deposits which are not required to be assigned to Purchaser, and Purchaser will cooperate with Seller as reasonably requested in obtaining any refund.
(e) Assigned Contracts. Prepaid charges, payments and accrued charges under any Contracts assigned to Purchaser shall be prorated at Closing in a manner reasonably acceptable to Seller and Purchaser.
(f) Closing Statement. Purchaser and Seller shall cooperate to produce prior to the Closing Date a schedule of prorations and closing costs that is as complete and accurate as reasonably possible (the “Closing Statement”). If any of the aforesaid prorations cannot be calculated accurately on the Closing Date, then they shall be estimated to the extent possible as of the Closing and calculated as soon after the Closing Date as is feasible. All adjustments to initial estimated prorations shall be made by the parties with due diligence and cooperation within sixty (60) days following the Closing, or such later time as may be required to obtain necessary information for proration, by prompt cash payment to the party yielding a net credit from such prorations from the other party; provided, however, the provisions of this paragraph shall survive the Closing for one (1) year and after such date neither Seller nor Purchaser shall have any further rights or obligations under this Section 8.4.
(g) Closing Costs. At Closing, Seller shall pay the base premium for the Owner’s Title Insurance Policy, all title examination charges and one-half of the Title Company’s customary escrow and closing fees. Purchaser shall pay all costs associated with its due diligence, including the cost of appraisals, re-certifying and/or updating the Survey, architectural, engineering, credit and environmental reports, all title insurance premiums and costs other than the base premium paid by Seller as provided for above, the recording fees and one-half of the Title Company’s customary escrow and closing fees. Purchaser and Seller shall each pay their own legal fees related to the preparation of this Agreement and all documents required to settle the transaction contemplated hereby. All other customary purchase and sale closing costs shall be paid by Seller or Purchaser in accordance with the custom in the jurisdiction where the Property is located.
Section 8.5 Possession. Possession of the Property shall be delivered to Purchaser by Seller at the Closing, subject only to the rights of Seller under the Lease, the rights arising under any Contracts to be assigned to Purchaser in accordance with Section 5.5, and the Permitted Exceptions.
ARTICLE 9
Real Estate Commission
Section 9.1 Commissions. If and only if, the transaction contemplated by this Agreement is consummated, Seller shall pay to PCR Brokerage Houston, LLC (the “Seller Broker”) a sales commission pursuant to a separate listing agreement between Seller and the Seller Broker and HFF, LP (the “Purchaser Broker”) a sales commission pursuant to a separate commission agreement between Seller Broker and the Purchaser Broker. If this transaction fails to close for any reason, including the default of either party, no commission shall be deemed to have been earned by or payable to either the Seller Broker or to the Purchaser Broker. Each of the parties represents to each other that it has not retained or used the services of a broker or agent in connection with this transaction other than the Seller Broker and the Purchaser Broker. Each party agrees to indemnify and hold the other harmless from any claims of any other brokers or agents for fees or commissions arising out of this transaction attributable to a breach by such party of its representation in the immediately preceding sentence.
ARTICLE 10
Termination and Default
Section 10.1 Purchaser’s Default. If the sale contemplated hereby is not consummated because of a default by Purchaser in its obligation to purchase the Property in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement after Seller has performed or tendered performance of all of its material obligations in accordance with this Agreement, then: (a) this Agreement shall terminate; (b) the Deposit shall be paid to and retained by Seller as liquidated damages; and (c) except for Purchaser’s Surviving Obligations or any other provisions of this Agreement that by their terms expressly survive termination, Seller and Purchaser shall have no further obligations to each other. THE PARTIES HERETO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT SUBSTANTIAL DAMAGES WILL BE SUFFERED BY SELLER IN THE EVENT THAT PURCHASER SHOULD FAIL TO PURCHASE THE PROPERTY SUBJECT TO AND IN ACCORDING TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT. PURCHASER AND SELLER ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE DAMAGES TO SELLER IN THE EVENT OF A BREACH OF THIS AGREEMENT BY PURCHASER WOULD BE DIFFICULT OR IMPOSSIBLE TO DETERMINE, THAT THE AMOUNT OF THE DEPOSIT REPRESENTS THE PARTIES’ BEST AND MOST ACCURATE ESTIMATE OF THE DAMAGES THAT WOULD BE SUFFERED BY SELLER IF THE TRANSACTION SHOULD FAIL TO CLOSE AND THAT SUCH ESTIMATE IS REASONABLE UNDER THE CIRCUMSTANCES EXISTING AS OF THE DATE OF THIS AGREEMENT AND UNDER THE CIRCUMSTANCES THAT SELLER AND PURCHASER REASONABLY ANTICIPATE WOULD EXIST AT THE TIME OF SUCH BREACH. THE PARTIES, HAVING MADE A DILIGENT ENDEAVOR TO ASCERTAIN THE ACTUAL COMPENSATORY DAMAGES WHICH SELLER WOULD SUFFER IN THE EVENT OF PURCHASER’S FAILURE TO PURCHASE THE PROPERTY SUBJECT TO AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT, HEREBY AGREE THAT THE REASONABLE ESTIMATE OF SAID DAMAGES IS THE SUM EQUAL TO THE AMOUNT OF THE DEPOSIT. THEREFORE, IN THE EVENT THAT THE SALE CONTEMPLATED HEREBY SHALL FAIL TO CLOSE FOR ANY REASON OTHER THAN SELLER’S DEFAULT HEREUNDER OR THE FAILURE OF ANY CONDITION PRECEDENT IN FAVOR OF PURCHASER EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, SELLER SHALL BE ENTITLED TO AND SHALL RETAIN THE ENTIRE DEPOSIT AS LIQUIDATED DAMAGES AND AS ITS SOLE REMEDY AT LAW OR IN EQUITY. THE AMOUNT OF THE LIQUIDATED DAMAGES HAS BEEN ESTABLISHED BY THE PARTIES AS THE AMOUNT OF THE MONETARY DAMAGES SELLER WILL SUFFER BASED SOLELY UPON A FAILURE BY PURCHASER TO PURCHASE THE PROPERTY AND SELLER SHALL BE ENTITLED TO RECOVER NO OTHER DAMAGES FROM PURCHASER BASED SOLELY UPON A FAILURE BY PURCHASER TO PURCHASE THE PROPERTY. BY INITIALING BELOW, THE PARTIES EXPRESSLY UNDERSTAND AND AGREE TO THE FOREGOING PROVISIONS RELATING TO LIQUIDATED DAMAGES.
This Section 10.1 is intended only to liquidate and limit Seller’s right to damages arising due to Purchaser’s failure to purchase the Property in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and shall not limit the obligations of Purchaser pursuant to Sections 5.1, 5.3, 9.1, 11.8 or 11.17 of this Agreement.
Section 10.2 Seller’s Default. If Purchaser shall have performed or tendered performance of all of its material obligations under this Agreement, and the sale contemplated hereby is not consummated because of a default by Seller in its obligation to sell the Property in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, then, Purchaser may, as its sole and exclusive remedy at law or in equity, either : (a) terminate this Agreement by giving written notice thereof to Seller, in which event the Deposit (and any Extension Fee) will be returned to Purchaser and Purchaser shall be reimbursed by Seller for up to $200,000.00 of Purchaser’s out-of-pocket due diligence costs related to this transaction and, thereafter, neither Seller nor Purchaser will have any further duties or obligations to the other hereunder except for Purchaser’s Surviving Obligations and any other provisions of this Agreement that expressly survive termination; (b) waive such default and consummate the transactions contemplated hereby in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; or (c) specifically enforce this Agreement. Purchaser hereby irrevocably waives any other right or remedy for such default. As a condition precedent to Purchaser exercising any right to bring an action for specific
performance as the result of Seller’s default hereunder, Purchaser must commence such action within sixty (60) days after the occurrence of such default. Purchaser agrees that its failure timely to commence such an action for specific performance within such sixty (60) day period shall be deemed a waiver by it of its right to commence such an action. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the remedy of specific performance is not available because of any actions of Seller, Purchaser shall have any and all remedies available by law, including, without limitation, filing suit for damages. The limitations herein shall not limit the obligations of Seller pursuant to Sections 9.1 or 11.8 of this Agreement.
Section 10.3 Breach of Representations. Seller and Purchaser agree that, following the Closing, each shall be liable for the direct, but not consequential or punitive, damages resulting from any breach of its representations and warranties expressly set forth in Article 7 hereof; provided, however, (i) the total liability of Seller for all such breaches and any matters relating thereto shall not, in the aggregate, exceed the Post-Closing Claim Cap; (ii) such representations and warranties are personal to Seller and Purchaser and may not be assigned to or enforced by any other Person, other than to an assignee of Purchaser in accordance with Section 11.3; and (iii) the representations and warranties of Seller set forth in this Agreement or in any document or certificate delivered by Seller in connection herewith shall survive the Closing for a period of one hundred eighty (180) days; provided, however, no claim with respect to such representations and warranties of Seller shall be valid or enforceable, at law or in equity, unless written notice containing a description of the specific nature of such claim shall have been given by Purchaser to Seller prior to the expiration of said one hundred eighty (180) day period and an action shall have been commenced by Purchaser against Seller within two (2) years of Closing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, if the Closing occurs, Purchaser hereby expressly waives, relinquishes and releases any right or remedy available to it at law, in equity, under this Agreement or otherwise to make a claim against Seller for damages that Purchaser may incur, or to rescind this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, as the result of any of Seller’s representations or warranties in this Agreement or any document executed by Seller in connection herewith being untrue, inaccurate or incorrect if Purchaser knew or is deemed to know that such representation or warranty was untrue, inaccurate or incorrect at the time of the Closing. Purchaser further agrees that, following the Closing, no claim may or shall be made for any alleged breach of any representations or warranties made by Seller under or relating to this Agreement unless the amount of such claim or claims, individually or in the aggregate, exceeds Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000.00) (the “Post-Closing Claim Floor”) (at which point, subject to the above provisions, Seller shall be liable for all such damages caused thereby relating back to the first dollar of loss). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Post-Closing Claim Floor and the Post-Closing Claim Cap shall not apply to breaches attributable to the fraud or an intentional, material misrepresentation by Seller, and in such circumstances, Purchaser shall be entitled to all remedies available at law or equity, including, without limitation, filing suit for Purchaser’s actual damages, but specifically excluding any suit for consequential, special or punitive damages.
ARTICLE 11
Miscellaneous
Section 11.1 Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the transactions contemplated herein, and it supersedes all prior discussions, understandings or agreements between the parties. All Exhibits and Schedules attached hereto are a part of this Agreement and are incorporated herein by reference.
Section 11.2 Binding On Successors and Assigns. Subject to Section 11.3, this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.
Section 11.3 Assignment by Purchaser. Without the prior written consent of Seller, Purchaser shall not, directly or indirectly, assign this Agreement or any of its rights hereunder. Any attempted assignment in violation hereof shall, at the election of Seller, be of no force or effect and shall constitute a default by Purchaser. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser may assign its rights hereunder without the prior written consent of, but upon written notice to, Seller to an Affiliate of Purchaser. As used herein, the term “Affiliate” means any entity in which Purchaser controls and owns at least a five percent (5%) beneficial ownership interest, and the term “control” means the possession, directly or indirectly, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of the entity referred to, whether through ownership of voting securities, by contract or otherwise.
Section 11.4 Waiver. The excuse or waiver of the performance by a party of any obligation of the other party under this Agreement shall only be effective if evidenced by a written statement signed by the party so excusing or waiving. No delay in exercising any right or remedy shall constitute a waiver thereof, and no waiver by Seller or Purchaser of the breach of any covenant of this Agreement shall be construed as a waiver of any preceding or succeeding breach of the same or any other covenant or condition of this Agreement.
Section 11.5 Governing Law.
(a) This Agreement shall be construed and the rights and obligations of Seller and Purchaser hereunder determined in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Texas without regard to the principles of choice of law or conflicts of law.
(b) In recognition of the benefits of having any disputes with respect to this Agreement resolved by an experienced and expert person, Seller and Purchaser hereby agree that any suit, action, or proceeding, whether claim or counterclaim, brought or instituted by any party hereto on or with respect to this Agreement or which in any way relates, directly or indirectly, to this Agreement or any event, transaction, or occurrence arising out of or in any way connected with this Agreement or the Property, or the dealings of the parties with respect thereto, shall be tried only by a court and not by a jury. EACH PARTY HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION, OR PROCEEDING.
Section 11.6 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and it shall be sufficient that the signature of each party appear on one or more such counterparts. All counterparts shall collectively constitute a single agreement.

Any address or name specified above may be changed by notice given to the addressee by the other party in accordance with this Section 11.7. The inability to deliver notice because of a changed address of which no notice was given as provided above, or because of rejection or other refusal to accept any notice, shall be deemed to be the receipt of the notice as of the date of such inability to deliver or rejection or refusal to accept. Any notice to be given by any party hereto may be given by the counsel for such party.
Section 11.8 Attorneys’ Fees. In the event of a judicial or administrative proceeding or action by one party against the other party with respect to the interpretation or enforcement of this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover reasonable costs and expenses including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, whether at the investigative, pretrial, trial or appellate level.
Section 11.9 Time Periods. Any reference in this Agreement to the time for the performance of obligations or elapsed time shall mean consecutive calendar days, months, or years, as applicable. In the
event the time for performance of any obligation hereunder expires on a day that is not a Business Day, the time for performance shall be extended to the next Business Day.
Section 11.10 Modification of Agreement. No modification of this Agreement shall be deemed effective unless in writing and signed by both Seller and Purchaser.
Section 11.11 Further Instruments. Each party, promptly upon the request of the other, shall execute and have acknowledged and delivered to the other or to Escrow Agent, as may be appropriate, any and all further instruments reasonably requested or appropriate to evidence or give effect to the provisions of this Agreement and which are consistent with the provisions of this Agreement.
Section 11.12 Descriptive Headings; Word Meaning. The descriptive headings of the paragraphs of this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and shall not control or affect the meaning or construction of any provisions of this Agreement. Words such as “herein”, “hereinafter”, “hereof” and “hereunder” when used in reference to this Agreement, refer to this Agreement as a whole and not merely to a subdivision in which such words appear, unless the context otherwise requires. The singular shall include the plural and the masculine gender shall include the feminine and neuter, and vice versa, unless the context otherwise requires. The word “including” shall not be restrictive and shall be interpreted as if followed by the words “without limitation.”
Section 11.13 Time of the Essence. Subject to Section 11.7 hereof, time is of the essence of this Agreement and all covenants and deadlines hereunder. Without limiting the foregoing, Purchaser and Seller hereby confirm their intention and agreement that time shall be of the essence of each and every provision of this Agreement, notwithstanding any subsequent modification or extension of any date or time period that is provided for under this Agreement. The agreement of Purchaser and Seller that time is of the essence of each and every provision of this Agreement shall not be waived or modified by any conduct of the parties, and the agreement of Purchaser and Seller that time is of the essence of each and every provision of this Agreement may only be modified or waived by the express written agreement of Purchaser and Seller that time shall not be of the essence with respect to a particular date or time period, or any modification or extension thereof, which is provided under this Agreement.
Section 11.14 Section 1031 Exchange. In the event that Purchaser elects to purchase the Property as part of a like kind exchange pursuant to Section 1031 of the Code (including, without limitation, a Section 1031 exchange involving tenancy in common interests), Seller agrees to cooperate as reasonably requested with Purchaser in connection therewith and to execute and deliver all documents which reasonably may be required to effectuate such exchange as a qualified transaction pursuant to Section 1031 of the Code; provided, however, (a) the Closing shall not be delayed; (b) Seller incurs no additional cost or liability in connection with the like-kind exchange; (c) Purchaser pays all costs associated with the like-kind exchange; (d) Seller is not obligated to take title to any other property; (e) Purchaser’s obligations under this Agreement are not in any way conditioned upon its ability to accomplish any like-kind exchange and in no event shall any actual or proposed like-kind exchange limit or affect Purchaser’s obligations or liabilities under this Agreement; and (f) Purchaser shall be solely responsible for, and shall indemnify, defend and hold the Seller harmless for, from, and against all liabilities, costs and expenses relating to any actual or proposed like-kind exchange. The indemnification provision set forth above shall survive the Closing or termination of this Agreement.
Section 11.15 Construction of Agreement. This Agreement shall not be construed more strictly against one party than against the other merely by virtue of the fact that it may have been prepared primarily by counsel for one of the parties, it being recognized that both Purchaser and Seller have contributed substantially and materially to the preparation of this Agreement.
Section 11.16 Limitations on Liability. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, and subject to any additional limitations on Seller’s liability set forth elsewhere in this Agreement: (a) Purchaser’s recourse against Seller under this Agreement or any agreement, document, certificate or instrument delivered by Seller hereunder, or under any law, rule or regulation relating to the Property, shall be limited to Seller’s interest in the Property (or, following the Closing, to the net proceeds of the sale of the Property actually received by Seller); and (b) in no event shall any of the Seller Parties have any personal liability hereunder or otherwise. The acceptance of the Deed shall constitute full performance of all of Seller’s obligations hereunder other than those obligations of Seller, if any, that by the express terms hereof are to survive the Closing.
Section 11.17 Severability. The parties hereto intend and believe that each provision in this Agreement comports with all applicable local, state and federal laws and judicial decisions. If, however, any provision in this Agreement is found by a court of law to be in violation of any applicable local, state, or federal law, statute, ordinance, administrative or judicial decision, or public policy, or if in any other respect such a court declares any such provision to be illegal, invalid, unlawful, void or unenforceable as written, then it is the intent of all parties hereto that, consistent with and with a view towards preserving the economic and legal arrangements among the parties hereto as expressed in this Agreement, such provision shall be given force and effect to the fullest possible extent, and that the remainder of this Agreement shall be construed as if such illegal, invalid, unlawful, void, or unenforceable provision were not contained herein, and that the rights, obligations, and interests of the parties under the remainder of this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect.
Section 11.18 No Recording. The provisions hereof shall not constitute a lien on the Property. Neither Purchaser nor its agents or representatives shall record or file this Agreement or any notice or memorandum hereof in any public records; provided, however, this provision shall not prohibit Purchaser from filing a copy of this Agreement with any court in which Purchaser brings an action for specific performance in accordance with Section 10.2. If Purchaser breaches the foregoing provision, this Agreement shall, at Seller’s election, terminate, and Seller shall retain the Deposit in accordance with Section 10.1. Purchaser hereby irrevocably appoints Seller as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact, coupled with an interest, for the purpose of executing and recording such documents and performing such other acts as may be necessary to terminate any recording or filing of this Agreement in violation of this provision.
Section 11.19 No Implied Agreement. Neither Seller nor Purchaser shall have any obligations in connection with the transaction contemplated by this Agreement unless both Seller and Purchaser, each acting in its sole discretion, elects to execute and deliver this Agreement to the other party. No correspondence, course of dealing or submission of drafts or final versions of this Agreement between Seller and Purchaser shall be deemed to create any binding obligations in connection with the transaction contemplated hereby, and no contract or obligation on the part of Seller or Purchaser shall arise unless and until this Agreement is fully executed by both Seller and Purchaser. Once executed and delivered by Seller and Purchaser, this Agreement shall be binding upon them notwithstanding the failure of Escrow Agent or any broker or other Person to execute this Agreement.
Section 11.21 Electronically Transmitted Signatures. Signatures to this Agreement electronically submitted shall be valid and effective to bind the party so signing. Each party agrees to promptly deliver an executed original of this Agreement (and any amendment hereto) with its actual signature to the other party, but a failure to do so shall not affect the enforceability of this Agreement (or any amendment hereto), it being expressly agreed that each party to this Agreement shall be bound by its own electronically submitted signature and shall accept the electronically submitted signature of the other party to this Agreement.
Section 11.22 Press Releases. Any release to the public of information with respect to the matters set forth in this Agreement will be made only in the form approved by Purchaser and Seller and their respective counsel; provided, however, Seller shall have the right to release such information to the public to the extent required by applicable law (e.g., disclosures required to comply with securities laws). The provisions of this Section 11.22 shall survive the Closing or earlier termination of this Agreement.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Seller and Purchaser hereto have executed this Agreement as of the dates below.
