In no event shall Seller be obligated to comply with any requirements of Purchaser’s lender or investor or otherwise incur any cost, expense or liability in connection with Purchaser’s financing of the Property; provided, however, Seller will, at Purchaser’s cost and without additional liability to Seller, reasonably cooperate with Purchaser with respect to any reasonable requests of Purchaser’s lender or investors, provided that any such requests shall not be such as shall require any modification of the terms of this Agreement, including the applicable dates herein such as the Approval Date and the Closing Date.

 

3.

3.1    Inspections.

3.1.1 Commencing on the Effective Date through the date of the Closing or earlier termination of this Agreement, Seller agrees to allow Purchaser and Purchaser’s engineers, architects, employees, agents, consultants and representatives (“Purchaser’s Agents”) reasonable access, subject to the terms of any Leases, during normal business hours, to the Property and to the records, if any, maintained for Seller by Seller’s property management company during normal business hours. Such access shall be solely for the purposes of (i) reviewing (and scanning) Leases and Contracts and any records relating thereto; (ii) reviewing (and scanning) records relating to operating expenses and other Property operations; and (iii) inspecting the Property, including the physical condition of the Property and conducting

 

6


noninvasive physical or environmental inspections of the Property. Purchaser shall not conduct or allow any physically invasive testing of, on or under the Property without first obtaining Seller’s written consent as to the timing and scope of work to be performed, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties acknowledge and agree that Purchaser shall be entitled to conduct reasonable and customary inspections of the Property for radon, termites, asbestos and lead-based paint. Within two (2) business days after the Effective Date, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser copies of the materials designated as “critical items” numbered 1-16 on Exhibit 3.1.1 attached hereto, and, to the extent in the possession of Seller or Property Manager (as defined below) all remaining items on Exhibit 3.1.1, except however for those items that, as indicated on Exhibit 3.1.1, will be provided at the onsite leasing office and which include Seller’s lease files.

3.1.2 Purchaser agrees that, in making any non-invasive physical or environmental inspections of the Property or in allowing the same to be made on Purchaser’s behalf on the Property, Purchaser shall carry workers compensation insurance and not less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00) per occurrence and Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000.00) aggregate comprehensive general liability insurance insuring all activity and conduct of Purchaser and Purchaser’s Agents while exercising such right of access and naming Seller and Balfour Beatty Communities, LLC (“Property Manager”) as additional insureds. Purchaser represents and warrants that, at all times prior to Closing, it shall carry workers compensation insurance, and not less than Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000.00) aggregate commercial general liability insurance with contractual liability endorsement which insures Purchaser’s indemnity obligations hereunder, and will, prior to entry onto the Property, provide Seller with written evidence of all insurance required from Purchaser hereunder written by a reputable insurance company having a rating of at least “AV” by Best’s Rating Guide (or a comparable rating by a successor rating service). Purchaser’s Agents shall be required to have comprehensive general liability insurance coverage of not less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00) per occurrence and One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00) aggregate with Seller and the Property Manager named as additional insureds.

3.1.3 Purchaser agrees that in exercising its right of access hereunder, Purchaser will use commercially reasonable efforts not to interfere with and to cause Purchaser’s Agents not to interfere with the activity of tenants or any persons occupying or providing service at the Property. In exercising its right of access hereunder, Purchaser shall employ only trained and qualified inspectors, engineers, and assessors. Purchaser shall, at least forty-eight (48) hours prior to inspection, give Seller written notice of its intention to conduct any inspections subject to the terms of any Leases, so that Seller shall have an opportunity to have a representative present during any such inspection, and Seller expressly reserves the right to have such a representative present, including, but not limited to, any discussion with any tenants. Purchaser agrees to reasonably cooperate with any reasonable request by Seller in connection with the timing of any such inspection.

3.1.4 Unless Seller specifically and expressly agrees otherwise in writing, Purchaser agrees that except as hereinbelow stated: (a) the results of all inspections, analyses, studies and similar reports relating to the Property prepared by or for Purchaser utilizing any information acquired in whole or in part through the exercise of Purchaser’s inspection rights under this Agreement; and (b) all information regarding the Property of whatsoever nature made available to Purchaser by Seller or Seller’s agents or representatives (the “Proprietary Information”) is confidential and shall not be disclosed to any other person except those assisting Purchaser with the transaction, and then only upon Purchaser making such persons aware of the confidentiality restriction. Purchaser agrees not to use or allow to be used any such information for any purpose other than to determine whether to proceed with the contemplated

 

7


purchase, or if same is consummated, in connection with the operation of the Property post-Closing, or the subsequent disposition or refinancing thereof. Further, if the purchase and sale contemplated hereby fails to close for any reason whatsoever, any Proprietary Information delivered to Purchaser by Seller or its agent via electronic transmission shall be destroyed or erased and written confirmation by Purchaser of such destruction/erasure shall be provided to Seller. Proprietary Information shall not include any information now or hereafter available in the public domain by reasons other than Purchaser’s violation of this provision. This provision shall not limit or preclude Purchaser’s ability to comply with a court order or other applicable law requiring the use or disclosure of any Proprietary Information, except however that in the event that Purchaser or any Purchaser Agent becomes legally compelled to disclose any of the Proprietary Information, Purchaser shall provide Seller with prompt prior written notice of such requirement so that Seller may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy. Notwithstanding any other term of this Agreement, the provisions of this Section 3.1.4 shall survive Closing or the termination of this Agreement.

3.1.5 Purchaser shall, at its sole cost and expense, promptly restore any physical damage or alteration of the physical condition of the Property to substantially the same condition that existed prior to the inspection or test which results from any inspections conducted by or on behalf of Purchaser. All inspections shall be conducted at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense and in strict accordance with all requirements of applicable law. The provisions of this Section 3.1.5 shall survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement.

3.1.6 Except as specifically set forth herein, Seller makes no representations or warranties as to the truth, accuracy, completeness, methodology of preparation or otherwise concerning any engineering or environmental reports or any other materials, data or other information supplied to Purchaser in connection with Purchaser’s inspection of the Property (e.g., that such materials are complete, accurate or the final version thereof, or that such materials are all of such materials as are in Seller’s possession). Except for those representations and warranties specifically set forth herein, it is the parties’ express understanding and agreement that any materials that Purchaser is allowed to review are provided only for Purchaser’s convenience in making its own examination and determination prior to the Approval Date as to whether it wishes to purchase the Property, and, in doing so, Purchaser shall rely exclusively on its own independent investigation and evaluation of every aspect of the Property and not on any materials supplied by Seller. Except for those representations and warranties specifically set forth herein, Purchaser expressly disclaims any intent to rely on any such materials provided to it by Seller in connection with its inspection and agrees that it shall rely solely on its own independently developed or verified information.

3.1.7 PURCHASER AGREES (WHICH AGREEMENT SHALL SURVIVE CLOSING OR TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT) TO INDEMNIFY, DEFEND, AND HOLD SELLER, SELLER’S AFFILIATES AND PROPERTY MANAGER FREE AND HARMLESS FROM ANY LOSS, INJURY, DAMAGE, CLAIM, LIEN, COST OR EXPENSE, INCLUDING REASONABLE ATTORNEYS’ FEES AND COSTS, ARISING OUT OF A BREACH OF THE FOREGOING AGREEMENTS BY PURCHASER IN CONNECTION WITH THE INSPECTION OF THE PROPERTY, OR OTHERWISE FROM THE EXERCISE BY PURCHASER OR PURCHASER’S AGENTS OF THE RIGHT OF ACCESS ONTO THE PROPERTY, (COLLECTIVELY, THE “PURCHASER’S INDEMNITY OBLIGATIONS”). THIS SECTION 3.1.7 SHALL SURVIVE CLOSING OR THE TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT. PURCHASER HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT IN THE EVENT THAT PRIOR TO THE EFFECTIVE DATE, PURCHASER, OR (TO THE EXTENT THEN ACTING BY, THROUGH, OR UNDER PURCHASER) ANY OF ITS EMPLOYEES,

 

8


AGENTS, CONTRACTORS, CONSULTANTS, OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVES, HAVE ENTERED ONTO THE PROPERTY TO INSPECT, TEST, SURVEY OR OTHERWISE EXAMINE THE PROPERTY, AND THE RECORDS RELATING THERETO, THE INDEMNITY SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION 3.1.7 SHALL APPLY RETROACTIVELY TO THE DATE OF SUCH INSPECTIONS, TESTING, SURVEYING AND EXAMINATION. THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION 3.1.7 SHALL NOT APPLY TO PRE-EXISTING CONDITIONS OR MATTERS MERELY DISCOVERED AND NOT AGGRAVATED OR EXACERBATED BY PURCHASER OR PURCHASER’S AGENT OR TO ANY MATTERS RESULTING FROM THE GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OF SELLER, SELLER’S AFFILIATES, PROPERTY MANAGER OR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE AGENTS.

3.1.8 Purchaser shall keep the Property free from any liens arising out of any work performed, materials furnished or obligations incurred by or on behalf of Purchaser or Purchaser’s Agents with respect to any inspection or testing of the Property. If any such lien at any time shall be filed, Purchaser shall cause the same to be discharged of record within ten (10) business days after notice of same by satisfying the same or, if Purchaser, in its discretion and in good faith determines that such lien should be contested, by recording a bond. Failure by Purchaser to discharge such lien shall be a material breach of this Agreement. The provisions of this Section 3.1.8 shall survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement.

3.1.9 Purchaser understands that any financial statements and data, including, without limitation, gross rental income, operating expenses and cash flow statements, which may be made available by Seller to Purchaser, will be unaudited financial statements and data not prepared or reviewed by independent public accountants, and that Seller makes no representation as to the accuracy or completeness thereof, except for the Express Obligations (including, but not limited to Section 5.1 hereof).

3.2    Title and Survey. Within one (1) business day of the execution of this Agreement, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser a copy of Seller’s existing survey of the Land and Improvements (which survey, and any update obtained by Purchaser, at Purchaser’s discretion and cost, is herein called the “Survey”). Purchaser shall also obtain, and shall cause to be delivered to Seller, a current commitment (the “Title Commitment”) for title insurance on the Land and Improvements, issued by Benchmark Title, 2007 Randall Street, Dallas, Texas 75201, Phone: (214) 485-8650, Attention: Brittney Rogers Payne, Email: brogers@bmktitle.com (the “Title Company”), together with copies of all items shown as exceptions to title therein. Purchaser shall have until such date that is five (5) days after receipt of the Title Commitment and the Survey (the “Title Notice Date”) to provide written notice to Seller of any matters shown by the Title Commitment or Survey which are not satisfactory to Purchaser, which notice (the “Title Notice”) must specify curative steps necessary to cure the objections stated in the Title Notice (collectively, the “Title Objections”). In the event Seller is unable or unwilling to eliminate any one or more of the Title Objections, Seller shall so notify Purchaser in writing within three (3) days of the Title Notice Date (the “Title Response Date”), and Purchaser may, as its sole and exclusive remedy, by delivering written notice thereof within three (3) days of the Title Response Date to Seller, terminate the Agreement and receive a refund of the entire Deposit, including the Hard Deposit pursuant to Section 2.2.1 hereof. In the event that Seller fails to provide such written notice to Purchaser within three (3) days after the Title Notice Date, then, Seller shall be deemed to have elected not to cure the Title Objections for which no such notice is given unless Seller undertakes in writing to cure such matters as contemplated below. Except as hereinbelow expressly stated with respect to the Mandatory Monetary Liens, Seller shall have no obligation whatsoever to expend or agree to expend any funds, to undertake or agree to undertake any obligations or otherwise to cure or agree to cure any Title Objections, and Seller shall not be deemed to have any obligation to cure unless Seller expressly undertakes

 

9


such an obligation by a written notice to or written agreement with Purchaser given or entered into on or prior to the Closing Date and which recites that it is in response to the Title Notice (each a “Cure Commitment”). Purchaser’s sole right with respect to any Title Objection that Seller is not required to cure hereunder shall be to elect to terminate this Agreement in accordance with the time period described above (other than continuing obligations that are expressly stated to survive the Closing or termination of this Agreement including under Sections 3.1.4 and 3.1.7 hereof) (herein called the “Surviving Obligations”), in which event the Agreement shall be deemed terminated and the Deposit, including the Hard Deposit pursuant to Section 2.2.1 hereof, shall be refunded to Purchaser. All matters shown on the Title Commitment and/or Survey and any update thereof with respect to which Purchaser fails to give a Title Notice on or before the last date for so doing, or with respect to which a timely Title Notice is given but Seller fails to undertake an express obligation to cure as provided above, shall be deemed to be approved by Purchaser and a “Permitted Encumbrance” (as defined in Section 3.4), subject, however, to Purchaser’s termination right provided in Section 3.5 hereof. Notwithstanding anything hereinabove to the contrary, Seller shall be obligated at or prior to Closing, to cause the Title Company to remove any mortgage, deed of trust, deed to secure debt, judgment, lien or claim of lien that is monetary in nature, and which is capable of being satisfied at Closing (but not real property taxes and assessments which are not yet due and payable) (the “Mandatory Monetary Liens”), which Mandatory Monetary Liens may be paid off at Seller’s election from the Purchase Price, and Seller shall not be required to have executed releases of the same available at Closing so long as the Mandatory Monetary Lien that is being paid off is shown as a charge to Seller on the settlement sheet at Closing.

If after the expiration of the Title Notice Date, any subsequent updated version(s) of the Title Commitment or Survey should contain exceptions or items that were not existing and not set forth in the original version(s) of the Title Commitment and Survey, as applicable, reviewed by Purchaser, then the foregoing provisions above shall apply, as to such additional matters only, as though the updated version(s) of the Title Commitment and Survey reflecting such additional matters were those originally delivered for Purchaser’s review hereunder, except that Purchaser shall have a period of five (5) days from receipt of such updated Title Commitment and/or Survey, as applicable, to provide Seller with Purchaser’s written objections to such additional matters and a corresponding right to terminate the Agreement and receive a refund of the entire Deposit, including the Hard Deposit pursuant to Section 2.2.1 hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser shall have no right to object to any additional matter that arises from the actions or omissions of Purchaser or its agents.

3.3     Contracts. On or before the Approval Date and subject as hereinafter stated, Purchaser shall notify Seller in writing if Purchaser elects not to assume at Closing any of the Contracts which are identified on Exhibit 3.3 attached hereto. Master Contracts (as hereinafter defined) and all Contracts that cannot be terminated as of the Closing Date are so noted on Exhibit 3.3. If Purchaser does not exercise its right to terminate this Agreement on or before the Approval Date, Seller shall, immediately following the Approval Date, give written notice of termination as of the Closing Date, to the extent permitted under the applicable contract, of such disapproved contract(s) and provide copies thereof to Purchaser; provided, if by the terms of the disapproved contract Seller has no right to terminate same on or prior to Closing, or if the actual date of termination is after the Closing, or if any fee or other compensation is due thereunder as a result of such termination, Purchaser shall be required at Closing to assume all obligations thereunder until the effective date of the termination (which notice shall specify the earliest termination date therein) or expiration and to assume the obligation to pay or to reimburse Seller at Closing for the payment of the termination charge. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, any contract which is a national contract held by Seller or Property Manager (whether directly or pursuant to a Master Contract) shall not be assumed by Purchaser, and at or prior to Closing, Seller shall terminate all national contracts and Master Contracts as to the Property at no cost or

 

10


expense to Purchaser and without any ongoing liability to the Property. As used herein, the term “Master Contract” means agreements pertaining to operations, services, maintenance, or repair of multiple properties of Seller or affiliates of Seller or the Property Manager. In addition, Seller shall be responsible, at its sole cost and expense and without any ongoing liability to the Property, for the termination as of Closing of any then existing property management agreement affecting the Property, and the same shall not be assumed by Purchaser. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) Seller will use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain from each applicable vendor a consent to the assignment of the Contract by Seller to Purchaser if expressly required by the applicable Contract, and (ii) Purchaser shall have no obligation to assume any Contract where Seller failed to obtain the required consent to assignment prior to the Closing Date or Seller failed to provide Purchaser with a complete copy of such contract prior to Closing; provided, however, it shall not be a condition to closing that Seller obtains any such consent(s).

3.4    Permitted Encumbrances. Unless Purchaser terminates this Agreement pursuant to Sections 3.2 or 3.5 hereof following its opportunity to fully inspect the Property, the state of title thereto and all other matters relating to the Property, including its feasibility for Purchaser’s intended use and its suitability as an investment, Purchaser shall be deemed to have approved and to have agreed to purchase the Property subject to the following:

3.4.1 All exceptions to title shown in the Title Commitment or matters shown on the Survey which Purchaser has approved or is deemed to have approved pursuant to Section 3.2 hereof;

3.4.2 All Contracts and Leases at the Property other than (a) those Contracts not assumed by Purchaser pursuant to Section 3.3 and (b) those new contracts Purchaser elects not to assume pursuant to Section 4.3; and

3.4.3 The lien of nondelinquent real and personal property taxes and assessments for the year in which Closing occurs and for subsequent years.

All of the foregoing are referred to herein collectively as “Permitted Encumbrances”.

3.5    Purchaser’s Right to Terminate. If, as a result of its various investigations, Purchaser determines, in its sole discretion for any reason or no reason at all, not to proceed with the purchase of the Property, Purchaser shall have the right by giving Seller written notice (the “Termination Notice”) on or before the date that is thirty (30) days following the Effective Date (the “Approval Date”) to terminate its obligation to purchase the Property. If the Termination Notice is timely given, the Deposit shall be disbursed in accordance with Section 2.2.1 hereof and neither party shall have any further liability hereunder except for the Surviving Obligations; provided, however, that in such event the Hard Deposit shall be paid to Seller unless Purchaser’s termination is expressly based on the occurrence of a Hard Deposit Exception. If the Termination Notice is not given, Purchaser shall have no further right to terminate this Agreement except as expressly set forth in this Agreement.

Furthermore, no such contracts are authorized if such contracts contemplate the payment of any lump sum or upfront fee or similar “incentive” compensation. If Seller enters into any such authorized contract, it shall promptly provide written notice thereof to Purchaser together with a complete copy thereof and unless Purchaser, within five (5) days thereafter, notifies Seller in writing of its intention to not assume such contract, it shall be assumed by Purchaser at Closing. If Purchaser notifies Seller within such 5-day period, then Seller shall terminate such contract at or prior to Closing at Seller’s sole cost and expense and without any ongoing liability to the Property.

NOTICE REGARDING POSSIBLE LIABILITY FOR ADDITIONAL TAXES

If for the current ad valorem tax year the taxable value of the land that is the subject of this Agreement is determined by a special appraisal method that allows for the appraisal of the land at less than its market value, the person to whom the land is transferred may not be allowed to qualify the land for that special appraisal in a subsequent tax year and the land may then be appraised at its full market value. In addition, the transfer of the land or a subsequent change in the use of the land may result in the imposition of an additional tax plus interest as a penalty for the transfer or the change in use of the land. The taxable value of the land and the applicable method of appraisal for current tax year is public information and may be obtained from the tax appraisal district established for the county in which the Property is located.

Purchaser’s obligations under this Section shall terminate one hundred twenty (120) days after the Closing.

During the one hundred twenty (120) day period after the Closing Date, Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts in the ordinary course of Purchaser’s operation of the Property to collect any Delinquent Rentals. After Closing, Seller shall not take any action against an existing tenant owing Delinquent Rentals; provided, however, Seller shall be entitled to commence and prosecute legal proceedings against any former tenant of the Property who is no longer in occupancy at the Property and no longer the party to any Lease not yet terminated, concerning the collection of Delinquent Rentals. Delinquent Rentals collected by Purchaser, net of the reasonable third party costs of collection (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), shall be applied as follows: first, against any amount due and owing for the month in which Closing occurs; second, against any amount then currently due; and third, against any amount due for the period prior to Closing. For purposes hereof, “amounts currently due” shall mean and refer to amounts which would be due for any month in which such payment is received. Purchaser agrees that any payments due to Seller as a result of collected Delinquent Rentals shall be payable upon receipt thereof.

As used herein, “‘rent ready’ condition” shall mean ready in accordance with Seller’s normal practices and procedures as of the Effective Date.

If the damage or taking is not material, or if, in the case that the damage or taking is material, either Purchaser elects in writing to proceed with Closing or Seller does not receive written notice from Purchaser of Purchaser’s termination of this Agreement at any time on or prior to the date that is ten (10) business days after Seller’s delivery of a Seller’s Notice, then the parties shall proceed with the Closing without any reduction in the Purchase Price (except only for a credit in the amount of the deductible (if any) applicable to the claim for such damage or destruction); provided, however, that in such event, Purchaser shall be entitled to all insurance proceeds to which Seller may actually collect, less Seller’s costs of collection and any costs actually incurred by Seller for demolition, site cleaning, restoration or other repairs to the extent the foregoing are performed in a good and workmanlike manner (collectively, “Seller’s Costs”) or all condemnation awards payable to Seller as a result of such damage or taking (as the case may be), less Seller’s Costs, if applicable, and, to the extent the same are applicable, Seller shall either (a) assign to Purchaser at Closing Seller’s rights to any such condemnation or eminent domain awards and pay to Purchaser at Closing any such awards already received (not exceeding the amount of the Purchase Price), less Seller’s Costs, as applicable, or (b) assign to Purchaser at Closing all of Seller’s rights to the insurance proceeds associated with the damage or destruction at issue and, as

 

18


applicable, pay to Purchaser at Closing any such proceeds already received not to exceed the amount of the Purchase Price, and less any costs, fees and expenses reasonably expended by Seller prior to Closing towards the repair of the damage or destruction at issue; and/or file a claim for the applicable damages under any available insurance policies, use good faith, commercially reasonable efforts to negotiate and settle such claim in substantially the same manner that Seller would have done so for its own account, and promptly pay over to Purchaser any insurance proceeds that Seller actually collects in respect thereof, less Seller’s Costs.

In any event, Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that Seller shall not be required to file, maintain or participate in any suit, proceeding or action against any of its insurers, nor shall Seller be required to provide Purchaser access to, or a copy of, any portion of its casualty or other insurance policies except only as reasonably necessary in connection with a claim under such policy. For the purposes of this Section 7, damage or other casualty shall be considered to be “material” if the estimated cost to repair or restore the Property exceeds $500,000. A condemnation or other taking, shall be considered “material” if (i) the estimated cost to repair or restore the Improvements to the condition in which they existed immediately prior to such taking exceeds $500,000; (ii) the taking (after accounting for repairs and restoration to be completed by Purchaser with the awards paid to Purchaser) will have a material, adverse effect on the value, marketability, ownership and/or operation of the Property (in the manner owned and operated immediately prior to the taking); (iii) it prohibits, as a matter of applicable law, the rebuilding or repair of the number of parking spaces or Improvements substantially as they currently exist; or (iv) it materially alters or limits access to the Property from a publicly-dedicated street. If Purchaser timely elects to terminate this Agreement under this Section 7, then upon the exercise of such option by Purchaser, this Agreement shall become null and void, the entire Deposit, including the Hard Deposit pursuant to Section 2.2.1 hereof, shall be immediately returned to Purchaser, and neither party shall have any further liability or obligations hereunder, except for the Surviving Obligations. Seller and Purchaser hereby agree that the Uniform Vendor and Purchaser Risk Act, Section 5.007 of the Texas Property Code, shall not be applicable to this Agreement or the transaction contemplated hereby.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above in this Section 7, in the event that a Casualty shall occur with respect to the Property, and all or a portion of the losses resulting therefrom (but not including any deductibles) are not covered by the property or casualty insurance maintained by Seller with respect to the Property or if Seller is unable to assign its claim to such insured casualty, then, within ten (10) days after Seller gains knowledge of such Casualty, Seller shall notify Purchaser that: (i) Seller shall provide Purchaser with a credit against the Purchase Price in the amount of the reasonable estimated costs for the repair or restoration of the affected Property by such Casualty, (ii) that Seller has elected to terminate this Agreement by reason of the occurrence of such Casualty, or (iii) that Seller has elected to provide Buyer the right to terminate this Agreement by reason of the occurrence of such Casualty, regardless of materiality. In the event that Seller fails to provide any such notice within such ten (10) day period, Seller shall be deemed to have elected to proceed in accordance with clause (iii) of the preceding sentence. In the event that Seller proceeds in accordance with clause (i) above, then the parties shall proceed to Closing (subject to the terms of this Agreement), and Seller shall provide Purchaser with the applicable credit against the Purchase Price. In the event that Seller elects to proceed in accordance with clause (ii) above, then the Deposit, including the Hard Deposit pursuant to Section 2.2.1 hereof, shall be refunded to Purchaser and the Parties shall have no further rights or obligations under this Agreement, except those which expressly survive such termination. In the event that Seller elects to proceed in accordance with clause (iii) above, then Purchaser shall have the right, within ten (10) days after the date on which Seller notifies Purchaser of such election, to (x) terminate this Agreement by written notice to Seller, in which case the Deposit, including the Hard Deposit pursuant to Section 2.2.1 hereof, shall be refunded to Purchaser and the Parties shall have no further rights or obligations under this Agreement, except those which expressly survive such termination, or (y) proceed to Closing without any credit against or deduction from the Purchase Price. If Purchaser fails to provide any such notice within such ten

 

19


(10) day period, then Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected to proceed in accordance with clause (x) above. If the Closing is scheduled to occur within one of the election periods of the parties described above, the Closing Date shall be postponed until the date which is five (5) Business Days after the expiration of the applicable election period(s).

 

8.

Notices.

Any notice required or permitted to be given hereunder shall be deemed to be given: (a) when hand delivered, (b) one (1) business day after pickup by UPS, Federal Express, or similar overnight express service, (c) on the date of sending by email transmission, provided that a copy is also delivered one (1) business day later by UPS, Federal Express, or similar overnight express service, in each case addressed to the parties at their respective addresses set forth on the Reference Sheet at the beginning of this Agreement, or in each case to such other address as either party may from time to time designate by giving notice in writing to the other party.

Effective notice will be deemed given only as provided above.

SELLER AND PURCHASER JOINTLY AND SEVERALLY SHALL INDEMNIFY AND HOLD THE FUNDING AGENT HARMLESS FROM AND AGAINST ALL COSTS, CLAIMS AND EXPENSES, INCLUDING REASONABLE ATTORNEY’S FEES, INCURRED IN CONNECTION WITH THE PERFORMANCE OF THE FUNDING AGENT’S DUTIES HEREUNDER, EXCEPT WITH RESPECT TO ACTIONS OR OMISSIONS TAKEN OR SUFFERED BY THE FUNDING AGENT IN BAD FAITH, IN WILLFUL DISREGARD OF THIS AGREEMENT OR INVOLVING GROSS NEGLIGENCE ON THE PART OF THE FUNDING AGENT.

The Funding Agent shall execute the signature page for the Funding Agent attached hereto solely with respect to the provisions of this Section 9.1; provided, however, that (a) the Funding Agent’s signature hereon shall not be a prerequisite to the binding nature of this Agreement on Purchaser and Seller, and the same shall become fully effective upon execution by Purchaser and Seller, and (b) the signature of the Funding Agent will not be necessary to amend any provision of this Agreement other than this Section 9.1.

9.1.6 The Title Company, as the person responsible for closing the transaction within the meaning of Section 6045(e)(2)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), shall file all necessary information, reports, returns, and statements regarding the transaction required by the Code including, but not limited to, the tax reports required pursuant to Section 6045 of the Code.

10.

Default; Failure of Condition.

10.1 Intentionally Omitted.

10.2 Purchaser Default. If Purchaser shall become in breach of or default under this Agreement in any material respect and the breach or default continues beyond the expiration of the cure period, if any, provided in Section 11.6 hereof, and Seller thereafter terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 11.6, then, subject as hereinbelow stated in this Section 10.2, and none of the following circumstances exist: (a) a default by Seller and the expiration of the cure period, if any, provided under Section 11.6 hereof; (b) the existence of a Pending Default (as defined in and contemplated by Section 11.6); or (c) any other provision of this Agreement which permits Purchaser to terminate this Agreement or otherwise relieves Purchaser of the obligation to convey the Property; then as its sole and exclusive remedy for such breach or default, the Deposit shall be retained by Seller as liquidated damages, and both parties shall be relieved of and released from any further liability hereunder except for the Surviving Obligations. Seller and Purchaser agree that payment to Seller of the Deposit is a fair and reasonable amount to be retained by Seller as agreed and liquidated damages in light of Seller’s removal of the Property from the market and the costs incurred by Seller and shall not constitute a penalty or a forfeiture. In order for a breach or default to arise in connection with the inaccuracy of any representation or warranty by Purchaser herein, the representation or warranty must fail to be true or correct in a material respect. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the indemnity obligations of the Purchaser under this Agreement and Seller’s rights to recover costs, fees and expenses under Section 11.9 are separate and distinct obligations of the Purchaser that are not subject to the liquidated damage provisions contained in this Section 10.2. Furthermore, Seller, in connection with any action or proceeding relating to or enforcing this Section 10.2 or collecting and/or retaining the Deposit, may recover from Purchaser any prevailing party attorney fees or costs to which Seller may be entitled pursuant to Section 11.9 below.

10.3 Seller Default. If Seller shall become in breach of or default under this Agreement in any material respect and the breach or default continues beyond the expiration of the cure period, if any, provided in Section 11.6 hereof, or Seller shall refuse or fail to convey the Property as herein provided and none of the following circumstances exist: (a) a default by Purchaser and the expiration of the cure period, if any, provided under Section 11.6 hereof; (b) the existence of a Pending Default (as defined in and contemplated by Section 11.6); or (c) any other provision of this Agreement which permits Seller to terminate this Agreement or otherwise relieves Seller of the obligation to convey the Property; then Purchaser shall elect as its sole and exclusive remedy hereunder either (i) to terminate this Agreement and recover the Deposit in its entirety, including the Hard Deposit pursuant to Section 2.2.1 hereof, together with reimbursement from Seller for all of Purchaser’s actual, third-party costs and expenses incurred in connection with its intended acquisition of the Property or financing thereof, in amount not to exceed SEVENTY-FIVE THOUSAND AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($75,000.00); or (ii) within sixty (60) days of Seller’s default, to enforce Seller’s obligations to convey the Property by delivering written notice to Seller which describes such default and states Purchaser’s election to enforce specific performance and actually filing suit within such 60-day period, provided that no such action in specific performance shall seek to require Seller to do any of the following: (1) change the condition of the Property or restore the same after any fire or other casualty; (2) expend money or post a bond to remove a title encumbrance (other than a Mandatory Monetary Lien) or defect or correct any matter shown on a survey of the Property; or (3) secure any permit, approval, or consent with respect to the Property. Except as expressly permitted by this Section 10.3, and Section 10.5, Section 11.9 and Section 11.16, Purchaser waives any right to receive damages as a result of Seller’s default. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the indemnity obligations of the Seller under this Agreement, and Purchaser’s rights to recover costs, fees and expenses under Section 11.9 are separate and distinct obligations of the Seller that are not subject to the remedy limitations provisions contained in this Section 10.3.

10.4 Intentionally Omitted.

10.5 Limitation of Liability. No direct or indirect partner, shareholder or member in either Purchaser or Seller, nor agent of Purchaser or Seller, nor any advisor, trustee, director, officer, employee, beneficiary, partner, affiliate, shareholder, participant, representative or agent of any of the foregoing shall have any personal liability, directly or indirectly, under or in connection with this Agreement or any agreement made or entered into under or pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, or any amendment or amendments to any of the foregoing made at any time or times, heretofore or hereafter, and Purchaser and its successors and assigns and, without limitation, all other persons and entities, shall look solely to Seller’s assets for the payment of any claim or for any performance, and Purchaser, on behalf of itself and its successors and assigns, hereby waives any and all such personal liability. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, neither the negative capital account of any direct or indirect partner or member in Seller, nor any obligation of any direct or indirect partner or member in Seller to restore a negative capital account or to contribute capital to Seller (or to any other direct or indirect partner or member of Seller), shall at any time be deemed to be the property or an asset of Seller or any such other direct or indirect partner or member (and neither Purchaser nor any of its successors or assigns shall have any right to collect, enforce or proceed against or with respect to any such negative capital account or partner’s or member’s obligations to restore or contribute). Further, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, and without limiting the foregoing, Purchaser may not bring any action against Seller for a breach of any representation, warranty, indemnity or covenant of Seller contained in this Agreement or in any agreement delivered by Seller to Purchaser at Closing (a “Seller Contract Breach”) unless and until the aggregate amount of all liability and losses relating to the Property and arising out of any such breach exceeds TWENTY-FIVE THOUSAND AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($25,000.00), it being Seller’s and Buyer’s desire to curtail any frivolous lawsuits. In addition, in no event will Seller’s liability for any and all Seller Contract Breach(es) exceed an amount equal to SEVEN HUNDRED FIFTY THOUSAND AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($750,000.00), and Purchaser hereby waives all claims for damages from a Seller Contract Breach in excess of such amount. Further, in no event whatsoever will either party be entitled to recover, and hereby waive the right to seek, any punitive, incidental, special, exemplary, consequential (including, without limitation, claims for lost profits) or speculative damages. The provisions of this Section 10.5 shall survive the Closing or the termination of this Agreement.

 

11.

Miscellaneous.

11.1 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with the Exhibits attached hereto, all of which are incorporated by reference, is the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and no alteration, modification or interpretation hereof shall be binding unless in writing and signed by both parties.

11.2 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or application to any party or circumstances shall be determined by any court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid and unenforceable to any extent, the remainder of this Agreement or the application of such provision to such person or circumstances, other than those as to which it is so determined invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby, and each provision hereof shall be valid and shall be enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law.

11.3 Applicable Law. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF TEXAS.

11.4 Assignability. Except for an assignment to an affiliate of Purchaser with notice of same to Seller, at least five (5) business days prior to Closing and a copy of the executed assignment and assumption agreement, Purchaser may not assign this Agreement without first

 

25


obtaining Seller’s written consent. Any assignment in contravention of this provision shall be void. No assignment shall release the Purchaser herein named from any obligation or liability under this Agreement. Any assignee shall be deemed to have made any and all representations and warranties made by Purchaser hereunder, as if the assignee were the original signatory hereto. If Purchaser requests Seller’s written consent to any assignment, Purchaser shall (1) notify Seller in writing of the proposed assignment at least twenty (20) days prior to the Closing Date; (2) provide Seller with the name and address of the proposed assignee; (3) provide Seller with financial information including financial statements of the proposed assignee; and (4) provide Seller for approval with a copy of the proposed assignment and assumption agreement. An “affiliate as used in this Section 11.4 is (i) any entity that controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with Purchaser; or (ii) an entity organized by Purchaser, together with its additional equity investment partner(s), specifically for the purpose of acquiring the Property. Seller may not assign this Agreement without the prior written consent of Purchaser.

11.5 Successors Bound. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Purchaser and Seller and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

11.6 Breach. Should either party be in breach of or default under or otherwise fail to comply with any of the terms of this Agreement, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the complying party shall have the option to terminate this Agreement by providing written notice of such termination to the other party, but only if the alleged breach, default or failure is not cured by the defaulting party within ten (10) days after written notice from the complying party regarding same. The Closing Date shall be extended to the extent necessary to afford the defaulting party the full ten-day period within which to cure such breach, default or failure; provided, however, that the failure or refusal by a party to perform on the scheduled Closing Date shall be deemed to be an immediate default without the necessity of notice; and provided further, that if the Closing Date shall have been once extended as a result of default by a party, such party shall not be entitled to any further notice or cure rights with respect to that or any other default. For purposes of this Section 11.6, a “Pending Default” shall be a default for which (i) written notice was given by the non-defaulting party, and (ii) the cure period extends beyond the scheduled Closing Date. In the event either party is unable to cure its Pending Default within ten (10) days of the scheduled Closing Date, the other party shall be entitled to exercise its remedies set forth in Sections 10.2 and 10.3 herein.

11.7 No Public Disclosure. From the Effective Date until thirty (30) days after the Closing: (a) neither Purchaser nor Broker will release or cause or permit to be released any press notices, or publicity (oral or written) or advertising promotion relating to this transaction, or otherwise announce or disclose or cause or permit to be announced or disclosed this transaction if the identity of Seller or the Purchase Price is mentioned without first obtaining the written consent of Seller which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, and (b) Seller may not disclose the identity or involvement of Purchaser or the Purchase Price without first obtaining the written consent of Purchaser. Accordingly, and notwithstanding any provision of this Contract or the provisions of any other existing agreement between the parties hereto to the contrary, both Seller and Purchaser may publicly file, disclose, report or publish any and all information related to this transaction that may be reasonably interpreted as being required by federal law or regulation including without limitation, filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The foregoing shall not preclude either party from discussing the substance or any relevant details of such transactions with any of its attorneys, accountants, professional consultants, lenders, partners, investors, or any prospective lender, partner or investor, as the case may be, or prevent either party hereto, from complying with laws, rules, regulations and court orders, including without limitation, governmental regulatory, disclosure, tax and reporting requirements or from notifying the current tenants of the Real Property of such sale.

11.9 Attorneys’ Fees. Should either party employ attorneys to enforce any of the provisions hereof, or should any action or proceeding involving the parties arise that is in any way related to this Agreement and/or the Property, the prevailing party in any such action or proceeding shall be entitled to receive from the other party all of the prevailing party’s reasonable costs, charges and expenses, including attorneys’ fees and expenses and court costs, expended or incurred in connection therewith.

11.13 Recordation. Purchaser and Seller agree not to record this Agreement or any memorandum hereof.

11.14 Proper Execution. The submission by Seller to Purchaser of this Agreement in unsigned form shall be deemed to be a submission solely for Purchaser’s consideration and not for acceptance and execution. Such submission shall have no binding force and effect, shall not constitute an option, and shall not confer any rights upon Purchaser or impose any obligations upon Seller irrespective of any reliance thereon, change of position or partial performance. The submission by Seller of this Agreement for execution by Purchaser and the actual execution and delivery thereof by Purchaser to Seller shall similarly have no binding force and effect on Seller unless and until Seller shall have executed this Agreement and the Deposit shall have been received by the Title Company and a counterpart thereof shall have been delivered to Purchaser.

11.15 Tax Protest. If, as a result of any tax protest or otherwise, any refund is paid or reduction of any real property or other tax or assessment is made available relating to the Property with respect to any period for which, under the terms of this Agreement, Seller is responsible, Seller shall be entitled to receive or retain such refund or the benefit of such reduction, less the equitable prorated costs of collection. Seller shall be allowed to continue any tax protest or appeal existing as of the Effective Date and to the extent that such protest or appeal continues beyond the Closing Date, then Purchaser shall reasonably cooperate with Seller’s continuance of the same, including providing any necessary consent therefor to the extent required by the taxing authorities. Seller shall retain all rights with respect to any refund of taxes applicable to any period prior to the Closing Date, and Purchaser shall be entitled to and shall receive any refund of taxes applicable to the period after the Closing Date, net of Seller’s costs, fees and expenses as hereinbelow described. All real estate tax refunds and credits received after Closing with respect to the Property shall be applied first toward

 

27


reimbursement of all actual, unaffiliated third party out of pocket costs, fees and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred in connection with obtaining such tax refund or credit, and thereafter apportioned between Seller (with respect to all periods through and including the Closing Date) and Purchaser (with respect to all periods after the Closing Date). Any real estate tax refund paid by the taxing authorities directly to Purchaser with respect to the period prior to the Closing Date, shall, within ten (10) days of receipt thereof, be paid in full by Purchaser to Seller. Any real estate tax refund paid by the taxing authorities directly to Seller with respect to the period after the Closing Date, shall, within ten (10) days of receipt thereof, be paid in full by Seller to Purchaser, net of Seller’s costs, fees and expenses as aforesaid. The terms of this Section 11.15 shall survive Closing and shall not merge with the Deed.

11.16 Survival Period. In the event that following Closing Purchaser discovers any material untruthfulness or material inaccuracy of any of Seller’s representations, covenants and warranties hereunder, Purchaser’s sole remedy shall be to file suit for actual damages in accordance with the provisions set forth below; provided, however, that Purchaser’s right to make a claim against Seller for a breach of an indemnity obligation (other than Seller’s indemnity under Section 5.3), representation, warranty or covenant under this Agreement, the Exhibits attached hereto (other than the Deed) or any document or certificate executed by Seller in connection with this Agreement (a “Claim”) shall expire nine (9) months after the Closing and delivery of the Deed (“Survival Date”) and may not be asserted as to any matter as to which Purchaser had actual knowledge prior to Closing. As to any Claim, Purchaser must: (i) notify Seller of the existence of the Claim in question, which notification (a “Claim Notice”) shall contain a reasonable description of the nature of the Claim or the facts, circumstances, conditions or events then known to Purchaser which give rise to the claim in question; and (ii) institute legal proceedings in a court of competent jurisdiction within sixty (60) days after the Survival Date (“Judicial Proceedings Date”). Any Claim for which a Claim Notice is not delivered by Purchaser to Seller on or prior to the Survival Date or for which legal proceedings are not instituted on or prior to the Judicial Proceedings Date shall be deemed to have been waived by Purchaser and rendered null and void and of no further force or effect. All Claims made by Purchaser under or with respect to this Agreement or the matters contained herein, shall be subject to the provisions of Section 10.5 of this Agreement. For matters disclosed or discovered prior to Closing, Purchaser’s sole rights and remedies shall be as set forth in Section 10.4. The terms of this Section 11.16 shall survive the Closing.

11.17 No Processing. Without Seller’s prior written consent, until the Closing, Purchaser shall not make any application to any governmental agency for any permit, approval, license or other entitlement for the Property or the use or development thereof, or have any communications with any governmental agency or official relating to the condition (environmental or otherwise) of the Property, provided however that Purchaser may (a) contact any governmental taxing authority and representatives of any police and fire departments regarding the Property, and (b) request from the applicable municipality in which the Property is located, copies of documents in the possession of such municipality and available for review and use by members of the public and letters of compliance with zoning, or other applicable laws and ordinances provided however that in no event shall Purchaser or any Purchaser Agent or any person making inquiry on behalf of Purchaser request or cause an inspection of the Property by any governmental or quasi-governmental agency to occur prior to Closing. Nothing herein contained shall mean or imply that Purchaser may, prior to Closing, make any application to any governmental agency for any permit, approval, license or other entitlement for the Property or the use or development thereof without Seller’s prior written consent which may be withheld in Seller’s sole discretion.

11.18 Calculation of Time Periods. Unless otherwise specified, in computing any period of time described herein, the day of the act or event after which the designated period of time begins to run is not to be included and the last day of the period so computed is to be included, unless such last day is a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday for national banks in the location where the Property is

 

28


located, in which event the period shall run until the end of the next day which is neither a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday. The last day of any period of time described herein shall be deemed to end at 5:00 p.m., Central Standard Time (CST).

11.20.1 PURCHASER AGREES TO INDEMNIFY, DEFEND AND HOLD SELLER AND SELLER’S AFFILIATES HARMLESS FROM AND AGAINST ANY AND ALL DEMANDS, CLAIMS, CAUSES OF ACTION, LEGAL OR ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEEDINGS, LOSSES, LIABILITIES, DAMAGES, PENALTIES, FINES, LIENS, JUDGMENTS, COSTS OR EXPENSES WHATSOEVER AND OF ANY KIND OR NATURE, WHETHER IN CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE, AND WHETHER ARISING UNDER STATUTORY LAW, AND WHETHER ARISING UNDER STATUTES IN EFFECT IN THE STATE OF TEXAS, OR OTHERWISE, FOR THE FULL APPLICABLE PERIODS OF ALL SUCH STATUTES (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, COURT COSTS AND ATTORNEYS’ FEES ARISING OUT OF ANY OF THE ABOVE) (COLLECTIVELY CONSTITUTING THE “LOSSES”), ARISING OUT OF OR DIRECTLY RELATING TO CLAIMS MADE OR BROUGHT BY OR ON BEHALF OF ANY PARTY OR PARTIES WHO ACQUIRE OR CONTRACT TO ACQUIRE ANY OWNERSHIP INTEREST IN THE PROPERTY FOLLOWING THE FILING OR RECORDING OF ANY DOCUMENT PROVIDING FOR THE CONVERSION OF THE PROPERTY TO A FORM OF CONDOMINIUM OWNERSHIP UNDER ANY STATE OR LOCAL LAW (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, CONDOMINIUM AND HOMEOWNER ASSOCIATIONS), AND THEIR SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS, IN CONNECTION WITH OR RELATED TO, THE PHYSICAL CONDITION OF THE PROPERTY PRIOR TO, AT AND SUBSEQUENT TO CLOSING, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, WITH RESPECT TO DEFICIENCIES IN THE DESIGN, SPECIFICATION, SURVEYING, PLANNING, SUPERVISION, OR OBSERVATION OF CONSTRUCTION OR CONSTRUCTION OF AN IMPROVEMENT TO, OR SURVEY OF, THE PROPERTY, OR ANY OTHER CONSTRUCTION DEFECTS WHATSOEVER INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, LATENT OR PATENT DEFECTS, ANY INJURY ARISING OUT OF ANY SUCH DEFICIENCY, ALL STRUCTURAL AND SEISMIC ELEMENTS OF THE PROPERTY, ALL MECHANICAL, ELECTRICAL, PLUMBING, SEWAGE, HEATING, VENTILATING, AIR CONDITIONING AND OTHER SYSTEMS, THE EXISTENCE OF ASBESTOS, MOLD, MILDEW OR FUNGI, THE ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITION OF THE PROPERTY AND THE PRESENCE OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS OR HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES IN, ON, UNDER OR ABOUT THE PROPERTY.

11.20.2 The provisions of this Section 11.20 shall survive the Closing. Purchaser and Seller acknowledge and agree that the disclaimers, indemnifications and other agreements set forth herein are an integral part of this Agreement and that Seller would not have agreed to sell the Property to Purchaser for the Purchase Price and Purchaser would not have agreed to enter into the transaction contemplated by this Agreement without such disclaimers, indemnifications and other agreements set forth above.

11.21 Miscellaneous Notices.

(a)    Chapter 50 Notice. If the Property is situated in a utility or other statutorily created district providing water, sewer, drainage, or flood control facilities and services, Chapter 50, Section 50.301, of the Texas Water Code required Seller to deliver and Purchaser to sign the statutory notice relating to the tax rate, bonded indebtedness, or standby fee of the district prior to final execution of this Agreement.

(b)    Notices from Brokers. Purchaser should not rely upon any oral representations about the Property from any source. Brokers are not qualified to render property inspections, surveys, engineering studies, environmental assessments, or inspections to determine compliance with zoning, governmental regulations or laws. Purchaser should seek experts to render such services. Selection of inspectors and repairmen is the responsibility of Purchaser and not the Brokers.

(c)    Texas RELA Notice. The Texas Real Estate License Act requires written notice to Purchaser that Purchaser should have an attorney examine an abstract of title to the Property or, in the alternative, obtain a title insurance policy. Notice to that effect is, therefore, hereby given to Purchaser.

(d)    Annexation Notice. The following disclosure is made for the purpose of complying with the provisions of Section 5.011 of the Texas Property Code and is not intended to and does not alter or affect the rights and obligations of Purchaser and Seller:

NOTICE REGARDING POSSIBLE ANNEXATION

If the Property that is the subject of this Agreement is located outside the limits of a municipality, the Property may now or later be included in the extraterritorial jurisdiction of a municipality and may now or later be subject to annexation by the municipality. Each municipality maintains a map that depicts its boundaries and extraterritorial jurisdiction. To determine if the Property is located within a municipality’s extraterritorial jurisdiction or is likely to be located within a municipality’s extraterritorial jurisdiction, contact all municipalities located in the general proximity of the Property for further information.

11.22 Waiver of Trial by Jury. IN ANY LAWSUIT OR OTHER PROCEEDING INITIATED UNDER OR WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT, PURCHASER AND SELLER WAIVE ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO TRIAL BY JURY.

11.23 Exclusivity. Until the earlier to occur of termination of this Agreement or the Closing Date, Seller (and Seller’s agents, including Seller’s broker) shall cease to market the Property and shall refrain from solicitation of backup offers and any discussion, negotiation or any other communication concerning or related to the sale of the Property with any third party other than Buyer.

11.24 Rule 3-14 Compliance. Seller shall, within forty-five (45) days after Closing, provide to Purchaser (at Purchaser’s expense and without cost or liability to Seller, its equity holders, directors, officers, property manager, accountants or other affiliates) copies of, or shall provide Purchaser reasonable access to, such factual information in the possession or control of Seller, its property manager or accountants, as may be reasonably requested by Purchaser to facilitate Purchaser’s audit, in accordance with Rule 3-14 of Securities and Exchange Commission Regulation S-X, of the income statements of the Property for the period from January 1, 2018 through the Closing Date. The information may be in the format in which Seller has maintained

 

30


such information and only need be provided after the Closing Date if it has not been previously provided to Purchaser or located at the Property. Purchaser shall be responsible for the prompt payment and reimbursement (during the post-Closing reconciliation period) of all out-of-pocket costs and expenses associated with this audit (including the out-of-pocket costs and expenses of Seller, its property manager and accountants) and the reasonable costs of all personnel required to participate in this audit. For up to forty-five (45) days after the Closing Date, Seller agrees that it shall, and shall cause its property manager and accountants to, reasonably cooperate (at no cost or liability to Seller, its equity holders, directors, officers, property manager, accountants or other affiliates) with Purchaser’s auditor including but not limited to responding to reasonable verbal requests and follow-up questions on the financial information provided to the Purchaser. Seller shall maintain its records for use under this Section 11.24 for a period of not less than ninety (90) days after the Closing Date. The provisions of this Section shall survive Closing for a period of ninety (90) days, except however that the Purchaser’s payment obligation hereunder shall survive the Closing indefinitely until payment in full has been made.

11.25 Purchase Price Allocation. Seller and Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts (and shall work together in good faith) to mutually agree upon the allocation (between the value of the real property and the personal property) of the Purchase Price on or before Closing; provided that if the parties are unable to agree upon such allocation prior to Closing, then the parties shall continue to use commercially reasonable efforts (and work together in good faith) to agree upon such allocation after the Closing Date. For the avoidance of ambiguity, the failure of Purchaser and Seller to agree upon such allocation shall not constitute a default hereunder or effect a delay in the Closing (and the establishment of such allocation shall not be condition precedent or give rise to post-Closing liability hereunder). If and to the extent that the Seller and Purchaser are able to agree upon such allocation, they shall memorialize same in writing and thereafter shall file their tax returns (and IRS Form 8594, if applicable) on the basis of such allocation, as it may be amended, and each party shall (a) prepare and file all tax returns in a manner consistent with this allocation of the Purchase Price; and (b) not take a position that is inconsistent or otherwise contrary in any material respects to this allocation on any tax return or in any proceeding before any governmental entity. Should Seller and Purchaser fail to agree upon such allocation, Purchaser shall file its tax returns (and IRS 8594) using generally accepted accounting principles and Internal Revenue Code guidelines to allocate the Purchase Price. The terms of this Section 11.25 shall survive Closing.

FORM OF CERTIFICATE OF NON-FOREIGN STATUS

FORM OF CERTIFICATE OF TRANSFEROR OTHER THAN AN INDIVIDUAL

(FIRPTA AFFIDAVIT)

Section 1445 of the Internal Revenue Code provides that a transferee of a U.S. real property interest must withhold tax if the transferor is a foreign person. For U.S. tax purposes (including section 1445), the owner of a disregarded entity (which has legal title to a U.S. real property interest under local law) will be the transferor of the property and not the disregarded entity. To inform the transferee that withholding of tax is not required upon the disposition of a U.S. real property interest by DFW 5 – WIMBLEDON OAKS, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company(“Transferor”), the undersigned hereby certifies the following on behalf of Seller:

Transferor is not a foreign corporation, foreign partnership, foreign trust, or foreign estate (as those terms are defined in the Internal Revenue Code and Income Tax Regulations);

Transferor is not a disregarded entity as defined in §1.1445-2(b)(2)(iii);

Transferor’s U.S. employer identification number is:                     ; and

Transferor’s office address is                     .

Transferor understands that this certification may be disclosed to the Internal Revenue Service by transferee and that any false statement contained herein could be punished by fine, imprisonment or both.

Under penalties of perjury I declare that I have examined this certification and to the best of my knowledge and belief it is true, correct and complete, and I further declare that I have authority to sign this document on behalf of Transferor.
