4.1Β Survey.
Within
five (5) days from the Effective Date, Seller will deliver to Purchaser a copy
of the latest survey of the Land and Improvements obtained by Seller in
connection with Seller's latest financing of the Property (the "Survey").
In
the event Purchaser requires an update, recertification or other modification
of
the Survey, Purchaser may, at Purchaser's expense, subject to reimbursement
from
Seller at the Closing as provided in Section
6.7
below,
obtain such update, modification or recertification of the Survey (the
"Updated
Survey").
Purchaser shall promptly deliver to Seller a copy of any update, modification
or
recertification of the Survey obtained by Purchaser and Purchaser shall cause
the certification on the updated, modified or recertified Survey to be addressed
to include Seller. If the Survey or Updated Survey shows any easement,
right-of-way, encroachment, conflict, protrusion or other matter affecting
the
Property that is unacceptable to Purchaser, Purchaser shall prior to expiration
of the Inspection Period (as hereinafter defined), notify Seller in writing
of
such fact and the reasons therefor (the "Purchaser's
Survey Objections").
If
Purchaser fails to notify Seller of any such Purchaser's Survey Objections
and
the reasons such items are unacceptable to Purchaser, upon the expiration of
the
Inspection Period, Purchaser shall be deemed to have accepted the form and
substance of the Survey and Updated Survey and all matters shown thereon and
such matters shall be included in the term "Permitted
Encumbrances."
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Seller shall have
no
obligation to bring any action or proceeding or otherwise to incur any expense
whatsoever to eliminate or modify any of the Purchaser's Survey Objections.
If
Seller is unable or unwilling to eliminate or modify or commit in writing to
so
eliminate or modify prior to Closing the Purchaser's Survey Objections to the
reasonable satisfaction of Purchaser, Seller may give Purchaser written notice
thereof, and Purchaser may (as its sole
Β
2
Β
and
exclusive remedy) either (i) terminate this Agreement by notice in writing
to
Seller prior to the expiration of five (5) days after receipt of written notice
from Seller responding to Purchaserβs Survey Objections, but in no event later
than fifteen (15) days after the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, whether
or not Seller responds to Purchaser's Survey Objections, or (ii) may accept
such
title to the Property as Seller can deliver without any reduction in Purchase
Price, in which event such uncured Purchaser's Survey Objections shall be
included in the term "Permitted Encumbrances." If Purchaser does not elect
to
terminate this Agreement within the period described in the
immediately-preceding sentence, Purchaser shall be deemed to have accepted
the
form and substance of the Survey and Updated Survey and all uncured matters
shown thereon (including, without limitation, the Purchaser's Survey Objections)
and such matters shall be included in the term "Permitted Encumbrances." In
the
event of a termination pursuant to this Section
4.1,
the
parties shall have no further rights or obligations hereunder and the Xxxxxxx
Money shall be returned to Purchaser upon satisfaction of the conditions set
forth in Section
10.12
hereof.
4.2Β Owner's
Title Policy Commitment.
Seller
shall obtain and deliver to Purchaser, within fifteen (15) days after the
Effective Date, a commitment for an Owner's policy of title insurance (herein
called the "Title
Commitment")
issued
by the Title Company, showing title to the Property in its present status and
committing to issue an Owner's title policy to Purchaser at the Closing,
together with the best available copies of all documents listed as exceptions
in
the Title Commitment. If any exceptions appear in the Title Commitment that
affect the Property and that are unacceptable to Purchaser, Purchaser shall
prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period, notify Seller in writing
of
such fact and the reasons therefor (the "Purchaser's
Title Objections").
If
Purchaser fails to notify Seller of any such Purchaser's Title Objections and
the reasons such objections are unacceptable to Purchaser, upon the expiration
of the Inspection Period, Purchaser shall be deemed to have accepted all
exceptions to title and all other matters shown on the Title Commitment and
all
such exceptions and all other matters shown on the Title Commitment shall be
included in the term "Permitted Encumbrances." Notwithstanding anything to
the
contrary contained herein, Seller shall have no obligation to bring any action
or proceeding or otherwise to incur any expense whatsoever to eliminate or
modify Purchaser's Title Objections; provided, however, Seller shall be
obligated to satisfy or discharge any monetary lien or encumbrance for a
liquidated amount affecting the Property created by, through, or under Seller,
except for the liens to be assumed by Purchaser as a part of the Purchase Price.
If Seller is unable or unwilling to eliminate or modify or commit in writing
to
so eliminate or modify prior to Closing Purchaser's Title Objections to the
reasonable satisfaction of Purchaser, other than as set forth above, Purchaser
may (as its sole and exclusive remedy) either (i)Β terminate this Agreement
by giving notice in writing to Seller prior to the expiration of five (5) days
after Purchaser receives written notice from Seller responding to Purchaserβs
Title Objections, but in no event later than fifteen (15) days after the
expiration of the Due Diligence Period, whether or not Seller responds to
Purchaser's Title Objections, or (ii) accept such title as Seller can deliver
without any reduction in Purchase Price, in which event, such uncured
Purchaser's Title Objections shall be included in the term "Permitted
Encumbrances." If Purchaser does not elect to terminate this Agreement within
the period described in the immediately preceding sentence, Purchaser shall
be
deemed to have accepted all then uncured exceptions to title and all such
exceptions and matters shall be included in the term "Permitted Encumbrances."
In the event of a termination pursuant to this Section
4.2,
the
parties shall have no further rights or obligations hereunder and the Xxxxxxx
Money shall be returned to Purchaser upon satisfaction of the conditions set
forth in Section
10.12
hereof.

Agreement, (ii) any of Purchaser's Survey Objections or Purchaser's Title

available funds all amounts due by Purchaser reflected on the Closing Statement
by 1:00 p.m. Central Time of the Closing Date in order to allow Seller to pay
all loans and fund all other disbursements on the Closing Date, otherwise Seller
shall be the owner on the Closing Date) in accordance with the following:
Β |
(a)
|
If
the Closing shall occur before rents (and all other amounts payable
by the
tenants under the Leases) and all other income from the Property
have
actually been paid for the month in which the Closing occurs, the
apportionment of such rents and other amounts and other income shall
be
upon the basis of such rents and other amounts and other income actually
received by Seller. Uncollected rents due Seller as landlord under

|
Β |
(b)
|
If
the Closing shall occur before the actual amount of utilities and
all
other operating expenses with respect to the Property for the month
in
which the Closing occurs are determined, the apportionment of such
utilities and other operating expenses shall be upon the basis of
a
reasonable estimate by Seller of such utilities and other operating
expenses for such month. Subsequent to the Closing, when the actual
amount
of such utilities and other operating expenses with respect to the
Property for the month in which the Closing occurs are determined,
the
parties agree to adjust the proration of such utilities and other
operating expenses and, if necessary, to refund or repay such sums
as
shall be necessary to effect such adjustment. Seller shall not assign
to
Purchaser any deposits which Seller has with any of the utility services
or companies serving the Property. Purchaser shall arrange with such
services and companies to have accounts opened in Purchaser's name
on the
|
Β
10
Β
Closing
Date. All public utility service in Seller's name shall be terminated as of
the

agreements.
Β |
(c)
|
If
the Closing shall occur before the tax rate or the assessed valuation
of
the Property is fixed for the then current year, the apportionment
of
taxes shall be upon the basis of the latest available tax rates and
assessed valuation. Subsequent to the Closing when the actual amount
of
taxes with respect to the Property for the year of Closing are determined,
the parties agree to adjust the proration of such taxes and, if necessary,
to refund or repay such sums as shall be necessary to effect such
adjustment.
|
Β |
(d)
|
At
the Closing, all security, pet, advance rental and other deposits
made
under the Leases and not previously applied by Seller as provided
in the
Leases shall be transferred by Seller to Purchaser by appropriate
adjustments on the Closing
Statement.
|
The
agreements of Seller and Purchaser set forth in this Section
6.5
shall
survive the Closing; provided, however, with respect to prorated items for
which
adjustment is permitted under this Section
6.5,

claim for adjustment shall be forever barred unless the party seeking an
adjustment first requests the adjustment and provides written request and proof
of the necessity for the adjustment to the other party within one (1) year
after
the Closing.
6.6Β Possession.
Possession of the Property shall be delivered to Purchaser at Closing subject
to
the Permitted Encumbrances.
6.7Β Closing
Costs.

or
endorsement to the Owner's Policy of Title Insurance requested by Purchaser,

recording fees for releases of liens and title curative documents), and one-half
(1/2) of any escrow fees charged by the Title Company. At the Closing, Seller
shall give Purchaser a credit not to exceed $3,500.00 against the cash portion
of the Purchase Price to be paid at Closing for the actual out-of-pocket cost
paid by Purchaser to obtain the Updated Survey. Except as otherwise provided

RISK
OF LOSS
7.1Β Casualty.
Β |
(a)
|
If
prior to the Closing Date there shall occur damage to any portion
of the
Land or Improvements caused by fire or other casualty of all or any
portion of the Property which would cost $100,000.00 or less to repair
or
restore, as the case may be, the amount of such costs to be determined
by
a contractor regularly engaged in business in Dallas and/or Tarrant
County, Texas, chosen by Seller and reasonably acceptable to Purchaser,
then Purchaser shall have no right to terminate its obligations under
this
Agreement and this
|
Β
11
Β
transaction
shall close as contemplated and there shall be assigned to Purchaser at Closing
all right, title, and interest of Seller, in and to any insurance proceeds
which
may be payable to Seller on account of such occurrence (not including any
proceeds payable on account of lost rents or income for the period prior to
the
Closing Date), and Purchaser shall take title to the Property with the
assignment of such proceeds and subject to such damage to or destruction of
the
Property without reduction in the Purchase Price, provided that Purchaser shall
be given a credit towards the Purchase Price for the lesser of any deductible
under Seller's insurance policy or the cost to repair or restore such damage
or
destruction. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary,
Seller shall have the sole and exclusive right to adjust any insurance claim
with Seller's insurance carriers after the Effective Date of this Agreement;
provided that Seller shall adjust such claims in a commercially reasonable
manner in order to attempt to obtain a reasonable payment of proceeds on the
claim, including signing and filing claims forms, tendering appropriately
endorsed checks, and negotiating with Sellerβs insurance carriers, and will not
settle a claim without first obtaining the prior consent of Purchaser to the
amount of the settlement. If this Agreement is terminated prior to Closing
by
Seller or Purchaser pursuant to a right to do so as provided in this Agreement,
Seller's obligation to obtain the consent of Purchaser prior to settling any
insurance claims shall also terminate.
Β |
(b)
|
If
prior to the Closing Date, there should occur damage to any portion
of the
Land or Improvements caused by fire or other casualty of all or any
portion of the Property which would cost more than $100,000.00 to
repair
or restore, as the case may be, the amount of such costs to be determined
by a contractor regularly engaged in business in Dallas and/or Tarrant
County, Texas, chosen by Seller and reasonably acceptable to Purchaser,
then Purchaser or Seller shall have, as their sole and exclusive
remedies:
(i) the option to terminate this Agreement within five (5) days following
a determination of the cost to repair and the amount of insurance
proceeds
which are payable on account of such casualty (but in no event later
than
thirty (30) days after the originally scheduled Closing Date as set
forth
in Section
6.1),
in which event, the parties shall have no further rights or obligations
hereunder, except as otherwise provided herein, and the Xxxxxxx Money
shall be returned to Purchaser subject to Purchaser's satisfaction
of the
requirements set forth in Section
10.12
of
this Agreement, or (ii) if Purchaser or Seller does not elect to
terminate, this transaction shall close as contemplated and there
shall be
assigned to Purchaser at Closing all right, title and interest of
Seller,
in and to any insurance proceeds which may be payable to Seller on
account
of any such occurrence (not including any proceeds payable on account
of
lost rents or income for the period prior to the Closing Date), and
Purchaser shall take title to the Property with the assignment of
such
proceeds and subject to such damage to or destruction of the Property
without reduction of the Purchase Price; provided, however, Purchaser
shall receive a credit towards the Purchase Price in the amount of
the
deductible under Seller's insurance policy. In no event shall Seller
have
any affirmative obligation to rebuild or repair the Property pursuant
to
this Section
7.1 and 7.2.
The provision of this Section
7.1 and 7.2
shall govern notwithstanding any contrary provisions of the Texas
Property
Code, as amended. Seller shall cooperate at all times with Purchaser
to
settle the damage claim with Sellerβs Insurance Company, including signing
and filing claims forms, tendering appropriately endorsed checks,
and
negotiating with Sellerβs Insurance Company as directed by Purchaser.
Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary,
Seller
shall have the sole and exclusive right to adjust any insurance claim
with
Seller's insurance carriers after the Effective Date of this Agreement;
provided that Seller shall adjust such claims in a commercially reasonable
manner in order to attempt to obtain a
|
Β
12
Β
reasonable
payment of proceeds on the claim; provided, however, no claim may be settled
without Purchaserβs prior written consent.
7.2Β Condemnation.
If
prior to the Closing Date there shall occur the threatened taking or
condemnation of any portion of the Property which is not material, then
Purchaser shall have no right to terminate its obligations under this Agreement
and this transaction shall close as contemplated and there shall be assigned
to
Purchaser at Closing all right, title, and interest of Seller to any
condemnation awards or proceeds and Purchaser shall take title to the Property
with the assignment of such condemnation awards or proceeds and subject to
such
taking or condemnation without reduction of the Purchase Price. If prior to
the
Closing Date there shall occur the threatened taking or condemnation of all
or a
material portion of the Property, then Seller or Purchaser shall have, as its
sole and exclusive remedies: (i) the option to terminate this Agreement within
five (5) days following notice in writing to the other of such threatened taking
or condemnation and a determination from the condemning authority of the amount
of condemnation proceeds to be offered for the proposed taking (but in no event
later than thirty (30) days after the originally scheduled Closing Date as
set
forth in Section
6.1),
in
which event, the parties shall have no further rights or obligations hereunder,
except as otherwise provided herein, and the Xxxxxxx Money shall be returned
to
Purchaser subject to Purchaser's satisfaction of the requirements set forth
in
Section
10.12
of this
Agreement, or (ii) if Seller or Purchaser does not elect to terminate, this
transaction shall close as contemplated and there shall be assigned to Purchaser
at Closing all right, title and interest of Seller to any condemnation awards
or
proceeds, and Purchaser shall take title to the Property with the assignment
of
such condemnation awards or proceeds and subject to such taking or condemnation
without reduction of the Purchase Price. As used in this Section
7.2,
there
shall occur the threatened taking or condemnation of a "material" portion of
the
Property if the area subject to the threatened taking or condemnation includes
within its boundary any portion of the parking areas, the Improvements on the
Land, or any means of ingress or egress to or from the Property or otherwise
materially interferes with the operation of the Property. In the event that
any
condemnation occurs prior to Closing, if Seller receives and retains any
condemnation proceeds, the cash portion of the Purchase Price shall be reduced
by such amount (but not below zero).
8.
DEFAULT
8.1Β Breach
by Seller.
In the
event that Seller shall breach any of its obligations hereunder or shall fail
to
consummate this Agreement for any reason other than Purchaser's default or
a
termination of this Agreement by Purchaser or Seller pursuant to a right to
do
so under the provisions hereof, and if Purchaser is not then in default
hereunder and is ready, willing and able to consummate this transaction, then,
if Seller fails to cure such default with five (5) days after Purchaser gives
Seller written notice of such default, Purchaser shall have the right to pursue
one, but not all of the following, as its sole and exclusive remedies: (i)
the
right to terminate this Agreement and receive a refund of the Xxxxxxx Money
and
any Extension Fee paid to Seller upon Purchaser's satisfaction of the
requirements set forth in Section
10.12
of this
Agreement, or (ii) by giving written notice to Seller within ninety (90) days
after the scheduled Closing Date and filing a lawsuit within one hundred twenty
(120) days after the scheduled Closing Date, the right to seek specific
performance of Seller's obligations to sell the Property in accordance with
the
terms of the Agreement. In the event Purchaser fails to give written notice
to
Seller within such 90-day period or file a lawsuit for specific performance
within such 120-day period, Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected the remedy
of termination of this Agreement. If Purchaser enforces specific performance
of
Seller's obligations to sell the Property in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement Purchaser agrees that it shall accept a special warranty deed to
the
Property subject to the Permitted Encumbrances. In no event shall Seller be
liable to Purchaser for any actual, punitive, exemplary, speculative, or
consequential, or other damages. In the event the remedy of specific performance
is not available Purchaser because Seller has intentionally conveyed the
Property to a third party or intentionally and voluntarily encumbered the
Property with a lien
Β
13
Β
that
cannot be released by applying the proceeds of the Purchase Price to be paid
by
Purchaser to Seller, Purchaser may seek recovery for its actual out-of-pocket
due diligence costs of investigating the Property in an amount not to exceed
$50,000.00.
8.2Β Breach
by Purchaser.
In the
event that Purchaser shall breach any of its obligations hereunder prior to
Closing or shall fail to consummate this Agreement at Closing for any reason
other than Seller's default or the termination of this Agreement by Purchaser
or
Seller pursuant to a right to do so under the terms and provisions hereof,
and
if Seller is not then in default, then, if Purchaser fails to cure such default
with five (5) days after Seller gives Purchaser written notice of such default
(but no such notice and opportunity to cure shall be required to be given on
account of the failure of Seller to close the sale of the Property on the
Closing Date as provided herein), Seller, as its sole and exclusive remedy
for
such pre-Closing breach, may terminate this Agreement and receive the Xxxxxxx
Money and any Extension Fee paid to Seller as liquidated damages. The parties
agree that Seller will suffer damages in the event of Purchaser's default on
its
pre-Closing obligations. Although the amount of such damages are difficult
or
impossible to determine, the parties agree that the amount of the Xxxxxxx Money
and any Extension Fee paid to Seller is a reasonable estimate of Seller's loss
in the event of Purchaser's pre-Closing default. Thus, Seller shall accept
and
retain the Xxxxxxx Money and any Extension Fee paid to Seller as liquidated
damages, but not as a penalty. In the event Seller is entitled to the Xxxxxxx
Money and the Xxxxxxx Money has not been previously distributed to Seller as
liquidated damages, the Xxxxxxx Money shall be immediately paid to Seller by
the
Title Company upon receipt of written notice from Seller that Purchaser has
defaulted under this Agreement. Purchaser agrees to take all such actions and
execute and deliver all such documents necessary or appropriate to effect such
payment of the Xxxxxxx Money to Seller. Seller shall also be entitled to recover
its reasonable attorneys' fees and costs in seeking recovery of the Xxxxxxx
Money.
8.3Β Actions
by Purchaser.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained or implied elsewhere herein,
in the event Purchaser (i) files a Lis Pendens or an action for specific
performance against Seller or otherwise clouds Seller's title to the Property
or
any portion thereof and fails to prevail in a final, non-appealable judgment,
or
(ii) breaches Purchaser's agreements of indemnity contained in this Agreement,
Seller shall be entitled to pursue any remedies available at law or in equity,
including but not limited to, suit for damages from Purchaser (including, but
not limited to, reasonable attorney's fees and costs incurred by Seller in
connection therewith). If Purchaser is successful in any such action, Purchaser
may recover its reasonable attorneyβs fees and costs incurred by Seller in
connection therewith as provided in Section
10.10
below.

As
used
in this Agreement, the phrase "Seller's knowledge," or words of like effect
(i)
shall mean and apply to the knowledge of Xxxx X. Xxxxx (the "Seller's
Representative"),
who
is President of the management company managing the Property for Seller and
directly involved in the negotiation of sale and purchase transaction described
herein and not to any other parties, (ii) shall mean the current actual
knowledge of such person, it being understood and acknowledged that (a) such
person, in many instances, is not involved in the day-to-day operations of
the
Property and in many instances, is not involved in the negotiation or execution
of the leases, management contracts, service contracts, or other agreements
in
question, and (b) such person is not charged with the knowledge of all of the
acts and/or omissions of the predecessors in title to the Property or with
knowledge of all of the acts and/or omissions of Seller's or Seller's property
manager's agents or employees, and (iii) shall not apply to or be construed
to
apply to information or material which may be in the possession of Seller or
Seller's property manager generally, or incidentally, but which is not actually
known to Seller's Representative. As used herein, the term "current actual
knowledge" of a party shall mean that no facts have come to the party's
attention that would give the party actual knowledge that any such facts are
not
true, correct, and complete, and the party has no obligation to and has not
undertaken any investigation, inquiry, or verification as to such matters to
determine the existence or absence of such facts, and no inference of the
party's knowledge of the existence or absence of such facts should be drawn
from
the statements made herein. In no event shall Seller's Representative have
any
personal liability under this Agreement by reason of his acting as Seller's
Representative hereunder or otherwise. Seller's representations shall survive
the Closing for only for a period of one hundred eighty (180) days thereafter
(the "Termination
Date"),
at
which time, such representations shall terminate and shall merge into the
instruments of Closing. In the event that either Seller or Purchaser should
discover prior to the Closing that any representation made by Seller in this
Agreement is untrue or inaccurate (herein referred to as a "Breach"),
it
shall promptly inform the other party in writing of its discovery and Purchaser
shall
Β
16
Β
have
the
right, as Purchaser's sole and exclusive remedy on account of such Breach by
written notice delivered to Seller given upon the earlier to occur of the
Closing Date or within ten (10) days after Purchaser becomes aware of the Breach
to terminate this Agreement and receive a refund of the Xxxxxxx Money upon
compliance with the conditions set forth in Section
10.12
hereof.
In the event that Purchaser fails to so terminate on or before the earlier
to
occur of the Closing Date or said ten (10) day period as aforesaid, Purchaser
shall automatically be deemed to have waived any objection to such Breach and
all rights or remedies against Seller on account of such Breach. If Purchaser
shall waive a Breach by failing to terminate this Agreement as provided above,
such representation shall be deemed revised as of the Closing Date to the extent
necessary to make the representation true and accurate. Seller does not
represent or warrant that there will be no change in any of the representations
of Seller set forth in this Agreement prior to the Closing Date, however, it
shall be a condition to Purchaser's obligation to consummate the transaction
described in this Agreement that all representations made by Seller in this
Agreement as of the Effective Date shall remain true and accurate in all
material respects on the Closing Date. Purchaser shall not have any right to
bring any action against Seller for a Breach where Purchaser had knowledge
of
the Breach prior to Closing and failed to notify Seller of such fact prior
to
Closing. In the event Purchaser fails to notify Seller in writing of a Breach
which is discovered after the Closing within ninety (90) days after the
Termination Date (the "Notice
Date"),
Purchaser shall be deemed to have waived such Breach and all claims on account
thereof by Purchaser shall be forever barred. Notwithstanding any provision
in
this Agreement to the contrary, a change of facts or circumstances that are
not
caused by the intentional act of Seller, which causes a representation or
warranty which was otherwise true at the time made to become untrue, shall
not
constitute a Breach and Purchaser shall have no action or claim against Seller
on account thereof.
