Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller, at its option in lieu of satisfying such liens or encumbrances and provided that the amount required to satisfy such liens and encumbrances does not exceed $50,000, may deposit with the Title Insurer such amount of money as may be determined by the Title Insurer as being sufficient to induce it to affirmatively insure Purchaser against such liens and/or encumbrances, including interest and penalties, out of or against the Property (and to omit such exceptions from any mortgagee policy in favor of Purchaser's lender), in which event such liens and encumbrances shall not be objections to title. 4.

In the event that Seller is not required to cure the Title Exceptions disclosed by any such update of the Survey in accordance with the foregoing and Seller notifies Purchaser of its refusal or inability to cure the same, then Purchaser shall have the right as Purchaser's sole remedy to (i) take title to the Property subject to such Title Exceptions as shown on the Survey as updated, without any reduction in the Purchase Price, or (ii) terminate this Agreement.

The other party shall have the right to object to the delivery of such amount or accrued interest thereon by delivery to and receipt by the Escrow Agent of written notice of objection within ten (10) days after the receipt of such copy from the Escrow Agent, but not thereafter. Upon receipt of such notice of objection, the Escrow Agent shall promptly deliver a copy thereof (by personal delivery or by a nationally recognized overnight courier) to the party who made the written demand. (d) If the Escrow Agent shall have received a notice of objection as provided for in part (c) of this Article within the time therein prescribed or any disagreement or dispute shall arise between or among any of the parties here-to and/or any other persons resulting in adverse claims and demands being made for the Deposit, whether or not litigation has been instituted, then, (1) the Escrow Agent shall continue to hold the Deposit subject to such adverse claims and the Escrow Agent shall not be or become liable in any way or to any person for its refusal to comply with such claims or demand, and in the event of any joint direction from Seller and Purchaser, the Escrow Agent shall then disburse the Deposit in accordance with said direction, (2) in the event the Escrow Agent shall receive a written notice advising that litigation over entitlement to the Deposit has been commenced, the Escrow Agent may deposit the Deposit with the clerk of the court in which said litigation is pending or (3) the Escrow Agent may (but shall not be required to) take such affirmative steps as it may, at its option, elect in order to substitute another impartial party to hold the Deposit subject to such adverse claims in a court of competent jurisdiction and the commencement of an action for interpleader, the cost thereof to be borne by whichever of Seller and Purchaser is the losing party, and thereupon the Escrow Agent shall be released of and from all liability thereunder. Seller and Purchaser jointly and severally agree to reimburse the Escrow Agent for any and all expenses incurred in the discharge of its duties under this Article, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees. Nothing herein, however, shall affect the liability of a defaulting party to another party for reimbursement of any amount paid to the Escrow Agent under this Paragraph (d). (e) It is expressly understood that the Escrow Agent acts hereunder as an accommodation to Seller and Purchaser and as a depository only and is not responsible or liable in any manner whatever for the sufficiency, correctness, genuineness or validity of any instrument deposited with it, or for the form of execution of such instruments or for the identity, authority or right of any person executing or depositing the same, or for the terms and conditions of any instrument pursuant to which the Escrow Agent or the parties may act. (f) The Escrow Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities except those set forth in this Article and shall not incur any liability in acting upon any signature, notice, request, waiver, consent, receipt or other paper or document believed by the Escrow Agent to be genuine, and the Escrow Agent may assume that any person purporting to give it any notice on behalf of any party in accordance with the provisions hereof has been duly authorized to do so. (g) In the event of the death of any person who may be a party in interest hereunder, the Escrow Agent shall deem and treat the legal representatives of such person's estate as the successor in interest of said deceased person for all purposes of this Article. (h) The Escrow Agent may act or refrain from acting in respect of any matter referred to herein in full reliance upon and by and with the advice of counsel which may be selected by it and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting upon the advice of such counsel. (i) The Escrow Agent shall not be responsible for any act or failure to act on its part except in the case of its own willful default or gross negligence. The Escrow Agent shall be automatically released from all responsibility and liability under this Agreement upon the Escrow Agent's delivery or deposit of the Deposit in accordance with the provisions of this Article. (j) Seller and Purchaser agree that if either shall, pursuant to section (iii) or section (iv) of part (a) of this Article, deliver to the Escrow Agent a written demand for the Deposit, the party making such demand shall, promptly after delivering such demand to the Escrow Agent, deliver a copy of such demand to the other party, together with a statement of the facts and circumstances underlying the demand; provided, however, that nothing in this part shall have any effect whatsoever upon the Escrow Agent's rights, duties and obligations under the preceding parts of this Article. ARTICLE V Adjustments to Cash Portion 1. Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Option Agreement or in any other agreements entered into between Purchaser and Seller with respect to the transactions contemplated herein, in the event that Purchaser shall assert any claims against Seller (on or before the Closing) in respect of (collectively, "Purchaser's Claims"): (i) any asserted misrepresentations or breach of any warranties of either Bossier or BMP set forth in Article II, Paragraph 5 of this Agreement (as such representations and warranties may be modified or amended pursuant to the terms of the Option Agreement prior to the Closing Date), or (ii) any actual damages or losses suffered or incurred by Purchaser prior to the Closing Date by reason of (x) any default by Bossier under any of the Leases or the Core Agreement, by BMP under the Luby's Lease, any claim by a tenant under the Leases, the Core Agreement or any other agreement with Bossier, or by the tenant under the Luby's Lease, in each case arising with respect to any actions, events or obligations attributable to the period subsequent to (a) January 30, 1997 with respect to the Mall Property and (b) June 12, 1997 with respect to the Luby's Property, and in each case prior to February 1, 1998, or (y) to the extent not covered by insurance, any claims for personal injury or damage to property occurring during the period subsequent to February 1, 1997 and prior to February 1, 1998, then Purchaser's sole remedy in respect of any such Purchaser's Claims shall be to seek reimbursement for the actual damages suffered or incurred by Purchaser as a result thereof by reducing the Cash Portion of the Purchase Price in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Article V. In no event shall (i) Bossier nor or any of its members or BMP nor any of its members have any personal liability in respect of any such Purchaser's Claims, and (ii) Purchaser be entitled to any reimbursement for damages in excess the Cash Portion of the Purchase Price. 2. Claims. Upon such date as Purchaser becomes aware of any Purchaser's Claims, but in no event later than three (3) business days prior to the Closing Date, Purchaser shall deliver a written notice (the "Notice of Claim")describing in reasonable detail (a) the nature of Purchaser's Claims and (b) the basis for Purchaser's determination of the amount of actual damages sought by Purchaser in connection therewith (such amount not to exceed the Cash Portion of the Purchase Price in the aggregate). Seller shall, within five (5) business days of Seller's receipt of Purchaser's Notice of Claim, provide Purchaser with written notice stating whether (i) Seller has agreed to adjust the Cash Portion in accordance with the Notice of Claim, (ii) Seller has elected to adjourn the Closing Date in order to attempt to cure Purchaser's's Claim in accordance with the provisions of Paragraph 3 of this Article V, or (iii) Seller has elected to dispute Purchaser's Notice of Claim and to submit such dispute to arbitration in accordance with the provisions of Paragraph 4 of this Article V. 3. Cure Period. If Seller elects to attempt to cure, then Seller shall have a period of 30 days following the delivery of Seller's notice to Purchaser to attempt to conform the underlying facts and conditions to the representation made by Seller or to otherwise cure any Purchaser's Claims, provided, however, if the condition causing such Purchaser's Claim is susceptible of cure but cannot reasonably be cured with such 30-day period and provided further that Seller shall have commenced to cure such condition with such 30-day period and thereafter diligently proceeds to cure the same, then such 30-day period shall be extended for such an additional period of time as is reasonably necessary for Seller in the exercise of due diligence to cure such condition but in no event shall such additional period exceed sixty (60) days. In the event Seller fails to cure the condition causing the representation or warranty to be false or any such other Purchaser's Claims, Seller shall within three (3) business days after the 30-day period or 60-day period, as the case may be, provide Purchaser with written notice stating whether (i) Seller has agreed to adjust the Cash Portion in accordance with the Notice of Claim and in such event the Cash Portion shall be adjusted accordingly, or (ii) Seller has elected to dispute the Notice of Claim and to submit such dispute to arbitration in accordance with Paragraph 4 of this Article V. 4. Disputes/Arbitration. (a) Any dispute or controversy arising under or in connection with this Article V of this Agreement shall be settled exclusively by arbitration to be held in the City of New York in accordance with the commercial rules of the American Arbitration Association then in effect, subject to Section 3(b) below. There shall be one arbitrator appointed in accordance with those rules. As part of his award, the arbitrator shall make a fair allocation between the parties of the fee and expenses of the American Arbitration Association and the cost of any transcript, taking into account the merits of their claims and defenses. The arbitrator shall render his award within sixty (60) days after the commencement of the arbitration; provided, however, no failure on the part of the arbitrator to render his award within such sixty (60) day period shall constitute a release from liability or otherwise affect the liability of any party hereto. Failure by either party to submit to arbitration under this paragraph shall result in the arbitrator ruling in favor of the other party if such other party has submitted to arbitration under this paragraph. Judgment may be entered on the arbitrator's award in any court having jurisdiction, and the parties irrevocably consent to the jurisdiction of the New York courts for that purpose. (b) In connection with any arbitration under the preceding Section 3(a), each party shall, within ten (10) days following the appointment of the arbitrator, submit to the arbitrator its statement of the facts related to the Notice of Claim and, if necessary, an estimate of the amount of actual damages owed together with how such amount was computed. The arbitrator shall be charged solely with determining, within ten (10) days after expiration of the period during which the parties are to submit their respective statements and estimates, whether or not a the Purchaser's Claim was properly asserted and, if in the event that a Purchaser's Claim has been validly asserted, which estimate is closest to the amount of actual damages suffered or incurred by Purchaser. In such event, the arbitrator shall be entitled to award the amount of the estimate that is closest to the arbitrator's determination of the actual damages suffered by Purchaser as the amount of the allowable adjustment to the Cash Portion of the Purchase Price; except that, if the larger of the two estimates is equal to or less than 120% of the smaller of the two estimates, the amount to be awarded by the arbitrator shall be the average of the two estimates. No failure on the part of the arbitrator to make such determination within such ten (10) days shall constitute a release from liability or otherwise affect the liability of any party hereto. If either party fails to timely submit a statement of facts and an estimate under this 3(b), the estimate of the other party shall be awarded by the arbitrator to the party to whom it is due. ARTICLE VI General Matters 1. Attorney's Fees. If any action or proceeding is commenced by either party to enforce their rights under this Agreement, or to collect damages as a result of the breach of any of the provisions of this Agreement, the prevailing party in such action or proceeding, including any bankruptcy, insolvency or appellate proceedings, shall be entitled to recover all reasonable costs and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and court costs, in addition to any other relief awarded. The determination of who is the prevailing party shall be decided by the court or courts, including any appellate court, in which such matter is tried, heard or decided. 2. "AS-IS" Sale. Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that, except as otherwise set forth herein, the Property is being sold to Purchaser on an "As-Is, Where-Is" basis, "With All Faults" and that, except for express representations and warranties of Seller set forth in this Agreement or any other document executed and delivered by Seller to Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement, Seller has made no representations or warranties to Purchaser, express or implied, of the Property, the ability to develop or use the Property, the structural integrity of the quality or condition of the soil underlying the subject improvements, the environmental condition of the Property, the merchantability of the Property or the fitness of the Property for any particular purpose. Purchaser agrees that Seller shall not be liable for any latent or patent defects in the Property or bound in any manner whatsoever by any guarantees, promises, projections, operating expenses, set-ups or other information pertaining to the Property made, furnished or claimed to have been made or furnished by Seller or any other person or entity, or any partner, employee, agent, attorney or other person representing or purporting to represent Seller whether verbally or in writing. Purchaser acknowledges that neither Seller nor any of the employees, agents or attorneys of Seller have made and do not make any verbal or written representations or warranties whatsoever to Purchaser, whether express or implied, except as expressly set forth in this Agreement. Purchaser has made such examination of the operation, income and expenses of the Property and all other matters and documents affecting or relating to this transaction or the Property as Purchaser deemed necessary. In entering into this Agreement and acquiring the Property, Purchaser has not been induced by and has not relied upon (and Seller is not liable for or bound by) any representations, warranties, guarantees, promises, statements, real estate broker "set ups" or other information, whether express or implied, made or furnished by Seller or by any agent, employee or other representative of Seller or by any broker or any other person representing or purporting to represent Seller, which are not expressly set forth in this Agreement, whether or not any such representations, warranties, guarantees, promises or statements were made in writing or orally. Purchaser releases Seller for any claim or cause of action for redhibition pursuant to Louisiana Civil Code articles 2520 et. seq. or for the diminution of purchase price pursuant to Louisiana Civil Code article 2541 et seq. Purchaser acknowledges that Purchaser understands that Louisiana redhibition law enables Purchaser to hold Seller responsible for any obvious or hidden defects in the Property existing on the date of sale and that such right is being specifically waived by Purchaser. 3.

This Agreement and all of its terms and provisions shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Seller and its successors and assigns, and Purchaser and its successors and assigns. 12. Survival. Except as otherwise expressly provided in any documents delivered by Seller to Purchaser on the Date of Closing, the delivery of the Deeds by Seller and the acceptance thereof by Purchaser shall be deemed a full performance and discharge of every agreement, obligation and provision required to be performed by Seller under this Agreement. 13. Further Assurances. The parties hereto each agree to execute and deliver such other documents or agreements as may be necessary or desirable for the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. In addition, from time to time after the Closing Date, at the Purchaser's request, Seller will execute and deliver or cause to be executed and delivered such other instruments of transfer, sale, conveyance, assignment and confirmation and take such action as Purchaser may reasonably deem necessary or desirable in order to effectively transfer, sell, convey and assign to Purchaser and to otherwise effectuate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. In addition, at reasonable times and upon reasonable prior written notice to Seller, Purchaser shall be entitled to review and copy, at Purchaser's sole cost and expense, income and expense and other similar financial information relating to the operation or leasing of the Property which is in the possession or control of Seller (excluding any information which relates to Seller as opposed to the Property or which is of a confidential nature); provided, however: (i) Seller's sole obligation relating to such information shall be to make such information available to Purchaser as provided above, (ii) Seller shall not be required to make any representation or warranty with respect to any such information nor verify the accuracy thereof, and (iii) Purchaser's obligations hereunder shall in no way be conditioned upon Purchaser's approval of such financial information or Purchaser's being satisfied with any matters disclosed by Purchaser's review of such financial information. 14. Amendment of Agreement; Complete Agreement. This Agreement may not be modified or amended orally or in any other manner than by an agreement in writing, signed by Seller and Purchaser. This Agreement, and the documents and agreements to be delivered pursuant hereto, contain the entire agreement and understanding between Purchaser and Seller concerning the subject matter of this Agreement and supersede all prior agreements, terms, understandings, conditions, representations and warranties, whether written or oral, made by Purchaser or Seller concerning the Property or the other matters which are the subject of this Agreement. This Agreement has been drafted through a joint effort of the parties and their counsel and, therefore, shall not be construed in favor of or against either of the parties. 15.

Purchaser's Default; Liquidated Damages and Deposit. IF PURCHASER DEFAULTS UNDER THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT AND SUCH DEFAULT CONTINUES FOR TEN (10) DAYS AFTER WRITTEN NOTICE THEREOF FROM SELLER TO PURCHASER (EXCEPT FOR PURCHASER'S FAILURE TO PAY THE PURCHASE PRICE WHICH SHALL NOT REQUIRE ANY NOTICE), SELLER SHALL BE ENTITLED TO TERMINATE THIS AGREEMENT AND RETAIN THE DEPOSIT AS SELLER'S LIQUIDATED DAMAGES AS ITS SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY FOR SUCH DEFAULT AND FOR THE LOSS SUFFERED BY SELLER. THE PARTIES AGREE THAT IT WOULD BE IMPRACTICABLE AND EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO ASCERTAIN THE ACTUAL DAMAGES SUFFERED BY SELLER AS A RESULT OF PURCHASER'S BREACH OF ITS OBLIGATIONS TO COMPLETE THE PURCHASE OF THE PROPERTY PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT, AND THAT UNDER THE CIRCUMSTANCES EXISTING AS OF THE DATE OF THIS AGREEMENT, THE LIQUIDATED DAMAGES PROVIDED FOR IN THIS PARAGRAPH REPRESENTS A REASONABLE ESTIMATE OF THE DAMAGES AND LOSS WHICH SELLER WILL INCUR AS A RESULT OF SUCH BREACH. THE PARTIES ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE PAYMENT OF SUCH LIQUIDATED DAMAGES IS NOT INTENDED AS A FORFEITURE OR PENALTY, BUT IS INTENDED TO CONSTITUTE LIQUIDATED DAMAGES TO SELLER IN ORDER TO COMPENSATE SELLER FOR THE LOSS RESULTING FROM PURCHASER'S DEFAULT. 17. Agreement Non-Recourse to Seller, Seller's Default (a) Anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, no recourse shall be had for the payment of any sum due under this Agreement, or for any claim based hereon or otherwise in respect hereof against Bossier or BMP or any partner or member of Bossier or BMP, as the case may be, or any legal representative, heir, estate, successor or assignee or any thereof. It is understood that all of the obligations of Bossier and BMP under or with respect to this Agreement may not be enforced against any person or entity; provided, that the foregoing provisions of this Paragraph shall not prevent Purchaser from commencing a proceeding for specific performance without any abatement of the Purchase Price or allowance of any kind and in which proceeding no monetary claim is made, or monetary judgment or other relief obtained, against Bossier or BMP or any partner or member thereof; and provided, further, that the foregoing provisions of this paragraph shall not limit the right of any person to name Bossier or BMP as a party defendant in any action or suit seeking specific performance so long as not judgment seeking personal liability be asked for or (if obtained) enforced against Bossier or BMP or any partner or member of Bossier or BMP, as the case may be, or any legal representative, heir, estate, successor or assignee of any thereof. (b) If Seller shall fail or be unable to deliver the Deed and the other documents required to be delivered by Seller to Purchaser on the Date of Closing, or otherwise default under the terms of this Agreement and such default continues for ten (10) days after written notice thereof from Purchaser to Seller, Purchaser shall have the right, as Purchaser's sole remedy, to (i) in the case of a willful default by Seller hereunder, commence a proceeding against Seller for specific performance without any abatement of the Purchase Price or allowance of any kind in which proceeding no monetary claim is made, or monetary judgment of other relief obtained against Seller or any partner or member of Seller, or any legal representative, heir estate, successor or assignee of any thereof, or (ii) terminate this Agreement; in which event the Deposit (together with any interest earned thereon) shall be paid to and retained by Purchaser and Seller and Purchaser shall be relieved of all obligations and liability under this Agreement (except for any obligations expressly stated to survive a termination of this Agreement). (c) In addition to the foregoing, in the event that Seller defaults in any obligation under this Agreement, Purchaser shall not be entitled to rescind the sale of the Property. Purchaser acknowledges that Purchaser is hereby waiving and foregoing its right to rescind the sale pursuant to Louisiana Civil Code articles 2485 and 2013-2024. 18. References to Mortgages and Deeds of Trust. Any reference herein to a mortgage shall include a deed of trust, and any reference herein to a deed of trust shall include a mortgage and any reference herein to a mortgagee shall include the beneficiary under a deed of trust and any reference to a beneficiary under a deed of trust shall include a mortgagee. 19. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts and shall be deemed to have become effective when and only when one or more of such counterparts shall have been signed by or on behalf of each of the parties hereto (although it shall not be necessary that any single counterpart be signed by or on behalf of each of the parties hereto, and all such counterparts shall be deemed to constitute but one and the same instrument), and shall have been delivered by each of the parties to each other. 20. Third Parties. This Agreement is entered into for the sole benefit of Purchaser and Seller and their respective permitted successors and assigns. No party other than Purchaser and Seller and such permitted successors and assigns shall have any right of action under or rights or remedies by reason of this Agreement. 21. Independent Counsel. Purchaser and Seller each acknowledge that: (a) they have been represented by independent counsel in connection with this Agreement; (b) they have executed this Agreement with the advice of such counsel; and (c) this Agreement is the result of negotiations between the parties hereto and the advice and assistance of their respective counsel. 22. Assignment. Neither Purchaser nor Seller may assign any rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other party hereto except that (i) without Seller's consent Purchaser shall be entitled to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to any affiliate of Purchaser provided such assignee shall deliver a written agreement to Seller pursuant to which such assignee shall assume and agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and (ii) Purchaser may, upon the giving of written notice to Seller not less than three business days prior to the Date of Closing, designate a third party to accept title to the Luby's Property; provided, however, in the event of any such designation or assignment, Purchaser shall not be relieved of any obligations or liability hereunder, including, without limitation, any obligations of Purchaser which survive the closing of the transactions contemplated hereby. 23. Successors and Assigns. Subject to Paragraph 22 above, this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefits of the heirs, successors and permitted assigns of the parties hereto. 24. Publicity. Prior to the Closing Date, in no event shall either Seller or Purchaser issue any press release or otherwise disclose any non-public information regarding this Agreement or the transactions contemplated under the terms of this Agreement unless the other party has consented thereto in writing (and Seller and Purchaser agree not unreasonably to withhold or delay such consent) and to the form and substance of any such statement or disclosure; provided, however, that nothing herein shall be deemed to limit or impair in any way any party's ability to disclose the details of or information concerning this Agreement, the transactions contemplated under the terms of this Agreement or the Property to such party's attorneys, accountants or other advisors, or to the extent such party reasonably deems necessary or desirable pursuant to any court or governmental order or applicable securities laws or regulations financial reporting requirements, or to obtain the Estoppel Letters or financing for the acquisition of the Property. Further, either party may disclose any information regarding this Agreement or the transactions contemplated under the terms of this Agreement to its direct or indirect constituent partners, members or shareholders, as the case may be (and to counsel for such constituent partners, members and shareholders) and as otherwise necessary to comply with the terms of this Agreement. Any disclosure by a party's advisors or direct or indirect constituent partners, members or shareholders shall be deemed a breach hereof by such party.
