Seller shall deliver at Closing notices of termination of all Service Contracts that are not so assumed. Purchaser must assume the obligations arising from and after the Closing Date under those Service Contracts (a) that Purchaser has agreed to assume, or that Purchaser is obligated to assume pursuant to this Section 4.6, and (b) for which a termination notice is delivered as of or prior to Closing but for which termination is not effective until after Closing.

Section 4.7. Proprietary Information; Confidentiality. Purchaser acknowledges that the Property Documents have been delivered to and received by Purchaser solely to assist Purchaser in determining the feasibility of purchasing the Property. Prior to Closing, Purchaser shall not use the Property Documents for any purpose other than as set forth in the preceding sentence. Purchaser shall not disclose the contents to any person other than to those persons who are responsible for determining the feasibility of Purchaser’s acquisition of the Property and who have agreed to preserve the confidentiality of such information as required hereby (collectively, “Permitted Outside Parties”). At any time and from time to time, within two (2) business days after Seller’s request, Purchaser shall deliver to Seller a list of all parties to whom Purchaser has provided any Property Documents or any information taken from the Property Documents. Prior to Closing or in the event this Agreement is terminated prior to Closing, Purchaser shall not divulge the contents of the Property Documents and other information except in strict accordance with the confidentiality standards set forth in this Section 4.7. In permitting Purchaser to review the Property Documents or any other information, Seller has not waived any privilege or claim of confidentiality with respect thereto, and no third party benefits or relationships of any kind, either express or implied, have been offered, intended or created.

Section 4.8. No Representation or Warranty by Seller. Purchaser acknowledges that, except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, Seller has not made and does not make any warranty or representation regarding the truth, accuracy or completeness of the Property Documents or the source(s) thereof. Purchaser further acknowledges that some if not all of the Property Documents were prepared by third parties other than Seller. Seller expressly disclaims any and all liability for representations or warranties, express or implied, statements of fact and other matters contained in such information, or for omissions from the Property Documents, or in any other written or oral communications transmitted or made available to Purchaser. Purchaser shall rely solely upon its own investigation with respect to the Property, including, without limitation, the Property’s physical, environmental or economic condition, compliance or lack of compliance with any ordinance, order, permit or regulation or any other attribute or matter relating thereto. Seller has not undertaken any independent investigation as to the truth, accuracy or completeness of the Property Documents and is providing the Property Documents solely as an accommodation to Purchaser.

Section 4.9. Purchaser’s Responsibilities. In conducting any inspections, investigations or tests of the Property and/or Property Documents, Purchaser and its agents and representatives shall: (a) not disturb the tenants or interfere with their use of the Property pursuant to their respective Leases; (b) not interfere with the operation and maintenance of the Property; (c) not damage any part of the Property or any personal property owned or held by any tenant or any third party; (d) not injure or otherwise cause bodily harm to Seller or its agents, guests, invitees, contractors and employees or any tenants or their guests or invitees; (e) comply with all applicable laws; (f) promptly pay when due the costs of all tests, investigations, and examinations done with regard to the Property; (g) not permit any liens to attach to the Real Property by reason of the exercise of its rights hereunder; (h) repair any damage to the Real Property resulting directly or indirectly from any such inspection or tests; and (i) not reveal or disclose prior to Closing any information obtained during Purchaser’s inspection or evaluation of the Property concerning the Property and the Property Documents to anyone other than the Permitted Outside Parties, in accordance with the confidentiality standards set forth in Section 4.7 above, or except as may be otherwise required by law.

Section 4.10. Purchaser’s Agreement to Indemnify. PURCHASER HEREBY AGREES TO INDEMNIFY, DEFEND AND HOLD SELLER HARMLESS FROM AND AGAINST ANY AND ALL LIENS, CLAIMS, CAUSES OF ACTION, DAMAGES, LIABILITIES AND EXPENSES (INCLUDING REASONABLE ATTORNEYS’ FEES) ARISING OUT OF PURCHASER’S INSPECTIONS OR TESTS PERMITTED UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY VIOLATION OF THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION 4.3, SECTION 4.7, AND SECTION 4.9; provided, however, the indemnity shall not extend to protect Seller from any pre-existing liabilities for matters merely discovered by Purchaser (i.e., latent environmental contamination) so long as Purchaser’s actions do not aggravate any preexisting liability of Seller. PURCHASER ALSO HEREBY AGREES TO INDEMNIFY, DEFEND AND HOLD ANY TENANT HARMLESS FROM AND AGAINST ANY AND ALL CLAIMS, CAUSES OF ACTION, DAMAGES, LIABILITIES AND EXPENSES WHICH SUCH TENANT MAY SUFFER OR INCUR DUE TO PURCHASER’S BREACH OF ITS OBLIGATION UNDER SECTION 4.7 ABOVE TO MAINTAIN THE CONFIDENTIAL NATURE OF ANY PROPERTY DOCUMENTS OR OTHER INFORMATION RELATIVE TO SUCH TENANT. Purchaser’s obligations under this Section 4.10 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and shall survive the Closing.

Section 4.11. Environmental Studies; Seller’s Right to Terminate. As additional consideration for the transaction contemplated in this Agreement, Purchaser must provide to Seller, immediately following the receipt of same by Purchaser, copies of any and all reports, tests or studies involving contamination of or other environmental concerns relating to the Property; provided, however, Purchaser shall have no obligation to cause any such tests or studies to be performed on the Property. Seller acknowledges that Purchaser has not made and does not make any warranty or representation regarding the truth or accuracy of any such studies or reports. Notwithstanding Section 4.10 above, Purchaser shall have no liability or culpability of any nature as a result of having provided such information to Seller or as a result of Seller’s reliance thereon or arising out of the fact that Purchaser merely conducted such tests or studies, so long as Purchaser’s actions do not aggravate any pre-existing liability of Seller. In the event that such reports, tests or studies indicate the existence or reasonable potential existence of any contamination of any portion of the Property that is not disclosed in the Property Documents and that is material (meaning that the reasonably estimated cost of remediation and/or other liability associated therewith, as determined by Seller’s environmental consultants, exceeds $5,000.00), then Seller may terminate this Agreement by giving written notice to Purchaser within ten (10) business days after Purchaser has provided Seller with copies of such reports, tests or studies, whereupon the Xxxxxxx Money shall be returned to Purchaser, the parties shall have no further obligations hereunder except for obligations that expressly survive the termination hereof.

ARTICLE 5
TITLE AND SURVEY

Section 5.1. Title Commitment. Within five (5) days after the Effective Date, Seller will cause to be prepared and delivered to Purchaser: (a) a current commitment for title insurance or preliminary title report (the “Title Commitment”) issued by the Title Company, on a Texas T-1 Form commitment, and (b) copies of all documents of record referred to in the Title Commitment as exceptions to title to the Property (the “Title Exception Documents”).

Section 5.2. New or Updated Survey. Purchaser may elect to obtain a new survey or revise, modify, or re-certify an existing survey (“Survey”) as necessary in order for the Title Company to delete the survey exception from the Title Policy or to otherwise satisfy Purchaser’s objectives.

Section 5.3. Title Review. Prior to the Effective Date, Seller provided its existing Survey to Purchaser. Purchaser shall have ten days after receipt of the Title Commitment to make any objections to the matters shown thereon. Seller shall have no obligation to cure any matters reflected in the Title Commitment or on such Survey except financing liens of an ascertainable amount created by, under or

through Seller (the “Obligated Liens”), which Obligated Liens Seller shall cause to be released at or prior to Closing (with Seller having the right to apply the Purchase Price or a portion thereof for such purpose), and Seller shall deliver the Property free and clear of any such Obligated Liens. Seller further agrees to remove any exceptions or encumbrances to title which are voluntarily created by, under or through Seller after the Effective Date without Purchaser’s consent (if requested, such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). If, after the Effective Date, the Title Commitment or the Survey are revised to include any additional material adverse exceptions or reflect additional new material adverse matters thereon first arising after the Effective Date and that were not reflected, disclosed or referenced in the Title Commitment, Title Exception Documents or Survey initially delivered to Purchaser as stated herein (the “New Title/Survey Matters”), then as of the date of delivery of such revised Title Commitment or Survey, as applicable, Purchaser shall have a period of three (3) business days in which to deliver to Seller in writing such objections as Purchaser may have to the New Title/Survey Matters. Seller shall have no obligation to cure any such New Title/Survey Matters except any of same that constitute Obligated Liens. The term “Permitted Exceptions” shall mean: the specific exceptions (excluding exceptions that are part of the promulgated title insurance form) in the Title Commitment that the Title Company has not agreed to remove from the Title Commitment as of Closing and that Seller is not required to remove as provided above; matters created by, through or under Purchaser; items shown on the Survey which have not been removed as of Closing (or if Purchaser does not obtain a Survey, all matters that a current, accurate survey of the Property would show); real estate taxes not yet due and payable; rights of tenants under the Leases; rights of tenants or licensees under License Agreements; and any licensees under any Service Contracts not terminated as of Closing.

ARTICLE 6
OPERATIONS AND RISK OF LOSS

Section 6.1. Ongoing Operations. From the Effective Date through Closing:

6.1.1. Leases, Service Contracts and License Agreements. Seller will perform its material obligations under the Leases, Service Contracts and License Agreements.

6.1.2. New Contracts. Except as provided in Section 6.1.4, Seller will not enter into any contract that will be an obligation affecting the Property subsequent to the Closing, except contracts entered into in the ordinary course of business that are terminable without cause and without the payment of any termination penalty on not more than thirty (30) days’ prior notice.

6.1.3. Maintenance of Improvements; Removal of Personal Property. Subject to Section 6.2 and Section 6.3, Seller shall maintain or cause the tenants under the Leases to maintain all Improvements substantially in their present condition (ordinary wear and tear and casualty excepted) and in a manner consistent with Seller’s maintenance of the Improvements during Seller’s period of ownership. Seller will not remove any Tangible Personal Property except as may be required for necessary repair or replacement, and replacement shall be of approximately equal quality and quantity as the removed item of Tangible Personal Property.

6.1.4. Leasing; License Agreements. Seller will not amend or terminate any existing Lease (except as required herein) or License Agreement or enter into any new Lease or new License Agreement without providing Purchaser (a) all relevant supporting documentation, as reasonably determined by Seller, including, without limitation, tenant financial information to the extent in Seller’s possession, and (b) Seller’s request for Purchaser’s approval. Purchaser agrees to give Seller written notice of approval or disapproval of a proposed amendment or termination of a Lease or License Agreement or new Lease or new License Agreement within three (3) business days after Purchaser’s receipt of the items in (a) and (b) above. If Purchaser does not respond to Seller’s request within such time period, then Purchaser will be deemed to have approved such amendment, termination or new Lease or new License Agreement.

Section 6.2. Damage. If prior to Closing the Property is damaged by fire or other casualty, Seller shall estimate the cost to repair and the time required to complete repairs and will provide Purchaser written notice of Seller’s estimation (the “Casualty Notice”) as soon as reasonably possible after the occurrence of the casualty.

6.2.1. Material. In the event of any Material Damage to or destruction of the Property or any portion thereof prior to Closing, either Seller or Purchaser may, at its option, terminate this Agreement by delivering written notice to the other on or before the expiration of thirty (30) days after the date Seller delivers the Casualty Notice to Purchaser (and if necessary, the Closing Date shall be extended to give the parties the full thirty-day period to make such election and to obtain insurance settlement agreements with Seller’s insurers). Upon any such termination, the Xxxxxxx Money shall be returned to Purchaser and the parties hereto shall have no further rights or obligations hereunder, other than those that by their terms survive the termination of this Agreement. If neither Seller nor Purchaser so terminates this Agreement within said thirty (30) day period, then the parties shall proceed under this Agreement and close on schedule (subject to extension of Closing as provided above), and as of Closing Seller shall assign to Purchaser, without representation or warranty by or recourse against Seller, all of Seller’s rights in and to any resulting insurance proceeds (including any rent loss insurance applicable to any period on and after the Closing Date) due Seller as a result of such damage or destruction and Purchaser shall assume full responsibility for all needed repairs, and Purchaser shall receive a credit at Closing for any deductible amount under such insurance policies (but the amount of the deductible plus insurance proceeds shall not exceed the lesser of (a) the cost of repair or (b) the Purchase Price and a pro rata share of the rental or business loss proceeds, if any). If Seller fails to maintain prior to Closing property insurance covering the Property to a level that is materially similar to that maintained by Seller as of the Effective Date and, because of such failure, there are insufficient insurance proceeds to cover the reasonable cost of repairs caused by such casualty (determined as provided below), then Seller shall credit Purchaser such shortfall in insurance proceeds at Closing. For the purposes of this Agreement, “Material Damage” and “Materially Damaged” means damage which, in Seller’s reasonable estimation, exceeds $50,000.00 to repair.

6.2.2. Not Material. If the Property is not Materially Damaged, then neither Purchaser nor Seller shall have the right to terminate this Agreement, and Seller shall, at its option, either (a) repair the damage before the Closing in a manner reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser (and if necessary, Seller may extend the Closing Date up to thirty (30) days to complete such repairs), or (b) credit Purchaser at Closing for the reasonable cost to complete the repair (in which case Seller shall retain all insurance proceeds and Purchaser shall assume full responsibility for all needed repairs).

Section 6.3. Condemnation. If proceedings in eminent domain are instituted with respect to the Property or any portion thereof, Purchaser may, at its option, by written notice to Seller given within ten (10) days after Seller notifies Purchaser of such proceedings (and if necessary the Closing Date shall

be automatically extended to give Purchaser the full ten (10) day period to make such election), either: (a) terminate this Agreement, in which case the Xxxxxxx Money shall be immediately returned to Purchaser and the parties hereto shall have no further rights or obligations, other than those that by their terms survive the termination of this Agreement, or (b) proceed under this Agreement, in which event Seller shall, at the Closing, assign to Purchaser its entire right, title and interest in and to any condemnation award, and Purchaser shall have the sole right after the Closing to negotiate and otherwise deal with the condemning authority in respect of such matter. If Purchaser does not give Seller written notice of its election within the time required above, then Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected option (b) above.

If the final determination of operating expenses and/or taxes due under the Leases shows that a net amount is owed by Purchaser to Seller, Purchaser shall, within ten (10) business days of such final determination, remit said amount to Seller.

DEFAULT AND REMEDIES

Section 10.1. Seller’s Remedies. If Purchaser fails to consummate the purchase of the Property pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise defaults on its obligations hereunder at or prior to Closing for any reason except failure by Seller to perform hereunder, or if prior to Closing any one or more of Purchaser’s representations or warranties are breached in any material respect, and such default or breach is not cured by the earlier of the third (3rd) business day after written notice thereof from Seller or the Closing Date (except no notice or cure period shall apply if Purchaser fails to consummate the purchase of the Property hereunder), Seller shall be entitled, as its sole remedy (except as provided in Section 4.10, Section 8.6, Section 10.3 and Section 10.4 hereof), to terminate this Agreement and recover the Xxxxxxx Money as liquidated damages and not as penalty, in full satisfaction of claims against Purchaser hereunder. Seller and Purchaser agree that Seller’s damages resulting from Purchaser’s default are difficult, if not impossible, to determine and the Xxxxxxx Money is a fair estimate of those damages which has been agreed to in an effort to cause the amount of such damages to be certain. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 10.1 or in Exhibit G to the contrary, in the event of Purchaser’s default or a termination of this Agreement, Seller shall have all remedies available at law or in equity in the event Purchaser or any party related to or affiliated with Purchaser is asserting any claims or right to the Property that would otherwise delay or prevent Seller from having clear, indefeasible and marketable title to the Property, and in said event Seller shall not be required to submit such matter to arbitration as contemplated by Exhibit G. In all other events Seller’s remedies shall be limited to those described in this Section 10.1 and Section 4.10, Section 8.6, Section 10.3 and Section 10.4 hereof. If Closing is consummated, Seller shall have all remedies available at law or in equity in the event Purchaser fails to perform any obligation of Purchaser under this Agreement. IN NO EVENT SHALL PURCHASER’S DIRECT OR INDIRECT PARTNERS, SHAREHOLDERS, OWNERS OR AFFILIATES, ANY OFFICER, DIRECTOR, EMPLOYEE OR AGENT OF THE FOREGOING, OR ANY AFFILIATE OR CONTROLLING PERSON THEREOF HAVE, SOLELY BY VIRTUE OF THEIR STATUS AS SUCH, ANY LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM, CAUSE OF ACTION OR OTHER LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE PROPERTY, WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, COMMON LAW, STATUTE, EQUITY OR OTHERWISE.

Without the prior written consent of Seller, there shall be no recordation of either this Agreement or any memorandum hereof, or any affidavit pertaining hereto, and any such recordation of this Agreement or memorandum or affidavit by Purchaser without the prior written consent of Seller shall constitute a default hereunder by Purchaser, whereupon Seller shall have the remedies set forth in Section 10.1, hereof. In addition to any such remedies, Purchaser shall be obligated to execute an instrument in recordable form releasing this Agreement or memorandum or affidavit, and Purchaser’s obligations pursuant to this Section 12.14 shall survive any termination of this Agreement as a surviving obligation.

In the event Purchaser assigns this Agreement or transfers any ownership interest in Purchaser, and such assignment or transfer would make the consummation of the transaction hereunder a “prohibited transaction” under ERISA and necessitate the termination of this Agreement then, notwithstanding any contrary provision which may be contained herein, Seller shall have the right to terminate this Agreement.

Section 12.18. No Third Party Beneficiary. The provisions of this Agreement and of the documents to be executed and delivered at Closing are and will be for the benefit of Seller and Purchaser only and are not for the benefit of any third party, and accordingly, no third party shall have the right to enforce the provisions of this Agreement or of the documents to be executed and delivered at Closing, except that a tenant of the Property may enforce Purchaser’s indemnity obligation under Section 4.10 hereof.

Each of Seller and Purchaser waives the right to commence an action in connection with this Agreement in any court and expressly agrees to be bound by the decision of the arbitrator determined in Exhibit G attached hereto.

Mandatory Arbitration

Any dispute that the parties are unable to resolve through the procedures, if any, set forth in the Agreement shall be submitted to arbitration in accordance with the following procedures.

1. Demand for Arbitration; Location. Either party may demand arbitration by giving the other party written notice to such effect, which notice shall describe, in reasonable detail, the facts and legal grounds forming the basis for the filing party’s request for relief and will include a statement of the total amount of damages claimed, if any, and any other remedy sought by that party. The arbitration shall be held before one neutral arbitrator in Xxxxxx County, Texas.

2. Identification of Arbitrator. Within thirty (30) days after the other party’s receipt of such demand, the parties shall mutually determine who the arbitrator will be. If the parties are unable to agree on the arbitrator within that time period, the arbitrator shall be selected by the AAA. In any event, the arbitrator shall have a background in, and knowledge of, commercial office properties, specifically including the contracting for sale and sale thereof, and shall be an appropriate person based on the nature of the dispute. If a person with such industry experience is not available, the arbitrator shall be chosen from the large and complex case panel or, if an appropriate person is not available from such panel, the retired federal judges pool.

3. Conduct of Arbitration. The arbitration will be governed by the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the AAA, except as expressly provided herein. However, the arbitration shall be administered by any organization mutually agreed to in writing by the parties. If the parties are unable to agree on the organization to administer the arbitration, it shall be administered by the AAA under its procedures for large and complex cases. Pending the arbitrator’s determination of the merits of the dispute, either party may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction to seek injunctive or other extraordinary relief.

4. Scope of Discovery. Discovery shall be limited to the request for and production of documents, depositions and interrogatories. Interrogatories shall be allowed only as follows: a party may request the other party to identify by name, last known address and telephone number (i) all persons having knowledge of facts relevant to the dispute and a brief description of that person’s knowledge; (ii) any experts who may be called as an expert witness, the subject matter about which the expert is expected to testify, the mental impressions and opinions held by the expert and the facts known by the expert (regardless of when the factual information was acquired) which relate to or form the basis for the mental impressions and opinions held by the expert; and (iii) any experts who have been used for consultation, but who are not expected to be called as an expert witness, if such consulting expert’s opinions or impressions have been reviewed by an expert witness. All discovery shall be guided by the Texas Rules of Civil Procedure. All issues concerning discovery upon which the parties cannot agree shall be submitted to the arbitrator for determination.

5. Authority of Arbitrator. In rendering an award, the arbitrator shall determine the rights and obligations of the parties according to the substantive and procedural laws of the State of Texas, without resort to conflicts of law principles. The arbitrator will not have authority to award damages in excess of the amount or other than the types allowed by the Agreement or herein and may not, in any event, make any ruling, finding or award that does not conform to the terms and conditions of the Agreement.

6. Joinder of parties. Each of the parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to join (and will allow the other party to join) any third party that the parties have agreed is indispensable to the arbitration. If any such third party does not agree to be joined, the arbitration will proceed nonetheless.

7. Award. The decision of, and award rendered by, the arbitrator shall be determined no more than thirty (30) days after the selection of the arbitrator and shall be final and binding on the parties and shall not be subject to appeal. Judgment on the award may be entered in and enforced by any court of competent jurisdiction. Each party shall bear its own costs and expenses (including filing fees) with respect to the arbitration, including one-half of the fees and expenses of the arbitrator.

8. Exclusive Remedy. The provisions of this Exhibit will not be construed to prevent a party from (i) seeking a temporary restraining order or injunctive or other equitable relief with respect to a breach (or attempted breach) of the Agreement by the other party, or (ii) instituting litigation or other formal proceedings to the extent necessary (A) to enforce the award of the arbitrator, (B) to avoid the expiration of any applicable limitations period, or (C) to preserve a superior position with respect to other creditors. Except for such matters, the parties agree that the provisions of this Exhibit are a complete defense to any suit, action or other proceeding instituted in any court or before any administrative tribunal with respect to any dispute under, or arising out of, the Agreement.

9. Continued Performance. Each party agrees to continue performing its obligations under the Agreement during the pendency of any dispute resolution process conducted in accordance with the provisions of this Exhibit, except to the extent the issue in dispute precludes performance (for the avoidance of doubt dispute over payment or an invoice shall be deemed not to preclude performance of a party’s obligations under the Agreement).
