The Put Option will expire if the Put Notice is not timely delivered to Purchaser.

(e) Business Day. Notwithstanding the foregoing Sections 1.1(c) and 1.1(d), if the Closing Date would occur on a day which is not a Business Day, then the Closing Date shall be delayed until the second Business Day thereafter.

ARTICLE IV.
POST-CLOSING AGREEMENTS

4.1 Further Action.

From and after the Closing, each party hereto shall perform such further acts and execute such documents, and otherwise cooperate with the other parties hereto, as may be reasonably required to effectuate the Membership Interest Purchase and the other transactions contemplated hereby.

4.2 Receipt of Payments and Correspondence.

From and after the Closing:

(a) If either party at any time comes into possession of any assets that are the property of the other party, the receiving party shall deliver such assets over to the other party within three (3) business days.

(b) If after Closing Seller shall receive any communications or correspondence pertaining to 109 Wagon Wheel, the Project Owner or their businesses, Seller shall promptly forward such communication or correspondence to Purchaser. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that, after the Closing, Seller receives any telephonic or electronic communications (including without limitation electronic mail) of 109 Wagon Wheel or the Project Owner, Seller shall immediately (and, with regard to written communications, within three days) direct such communications or inquiries to a telephone number, address or electronic mail address, as applicable, provided by Purchaser.

4.3 Inspection of Records.

From and after the Closing, each party shall retain and make its books and records (including work papers in the possession of its accountants) available for inspection and copying by the other party and its Representatives, for reasonable business purposes related to 109 Wagon Wheel, the Project Owner and the Membership Interest Purchase upon reasonable notice and at all reasonable times during normal business hours, for a three year period after the date hereof. Each party also shall make such books and records available for inspection and copying by the other party and its Representatives, in the manner described above, for a seven year period, to the extent required in connection with any litigation or Tax audit or inquiry relating thereto. In the event of any litigation or threatened litigation between the parties relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, the covenants contained in this Section 4.3 shall not be considered a waiver by any party of any right to assert the attorney-client or other privilege.

4.4 Transfer Taxes.

Seller shall be responsible for, and pay and discharge in full, any sales, transfer or similar Taxes resulting from the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

4.5 Tax Covenants.

(a) Seller shall be responsible for all Taxes (including without limitation, for this purpose, Taxes that are due with respect to Tax Returns that are required to be filed by 109 Wagon Wheel or the Project Owner for the taxable period ended on or before the Closing Date) of 109 Wagon Wheel or the Project Owner with respect to any and all periods, or portions thereof, ending on or before the Closing Date (the “Pre-Closing Date Period”) and for all claims, losses, liabilities, obligations, damages, impositions, assessments, demands, judgments, settlements, costs and expenses with respect to such Taxes. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Seller shall be responsible for and shall promptly pay and reimburse the Purchaser for any and all Taxes arising or resulting from 109 Wagon Wheel’s or the Project Owner’s qualification or failure thereof to transact business as a foreign entity in any state for all Pre-Closing Date Periods. Purchaser shall be liable

for Taxes of 109 Wagon Wheel or the Project Owner with respect to any and all periods, or portions thereof, beginning after the Closing Date (the “Post-Closing Date Periods”) and for any and all claims, losses, liabilities, obligations, damages, impositions, assessments, demands, judgments, settlements, costs and expenses with respect to such Taxes. Any and all transactions and the events contemplated by this Agreement that occur at or prior to the Closing Date shall be deemed to have occurred in the Pre-Closing Date Periods. Any and all transactions or events that occur on the Closing Date but after the Closing shall be deemed to have occurred in the Post-Closing Date Period.

(b) In the case of any Taxes that are attributable to a taxable period that begins before the Closing Date and ends after the Closing Date, the amount of Taxes attributable to the Pre-Closing Date Period shall be determined as follows:

(1) In the case of property (ad valorem), franchise or similar Taxes imposed on 109 Wagon Wheel or the Project Owner based on capital (including net worth or long-term debt) or number of shares of stock authorized, issued or outstanding, the portion attributable to the Pre-Closing Date Period shall be the amount of such Taxes for the entire taxable period multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the Pre-Closing Date Period and the denominator of which is the number of days in the entire taxable period; provided, however, the amount of tax attributable to the Pre-Closing Date Period shall not exceed the amount of tax 109 Wagon Wheel or the Project Owner, as applicable, would have paid if its taxable period ended on the Closing Date.

(2) In the case of all other Taxes, the portion attributable to the Pre-Closing Date Period shall be determined on the basis of an interim closing of the books of 109 Wagon Wheel or the Project Owner as of the Closing Date, and the determination of the hypothetical Tax for such Pre-Closing Date Period shall be determined on the basis of such interim closing of the books, without annualization. The hypothetical Tax for any period shall in no case be less than zero ($0). Taxes attributable to the Pre-Closing Date Period shall be determined under the same method of accounting used by 109 Wagon Wheel or the Project Owner during that period.

(c) Seller shall prepare and timely file, or cause to be timely filed, for the Project Owner and 109 Wagon Wheel, with reasonable assistance of Project Owner and 109 Wagon Wheel, Tax Returns that are required by law to be filed for the taxable period ended on or before the Closing Date. Seller shall, at least twenty (20) days prior to filing such Tax Returns, provide a copy of such Tax Returns to Purchaser. Purchaser shall, within ten (10) days of receiving such Tax Returns, advise Seller regarding any matters in such Tax Returns that it considers detrimental to Purchaser, 109 Wagon Wheel or the Project Owner, and with which it disagrees. In such case, Seller and Purchaser shall use reasonable best efforts to reach a timely and mutually satisfactory solution to the disputed matters. Seller shall provide to Purchaser a copy of all such Tax Returns together with the work papers and schedules utilized in their preparation. Purchaser, 109 Wagon Wheel, the Project Owner and Seller shall cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested, in connection with the filing of Tax Returns and any audit, litigation or other proceeding with respect to Taxes and Tax Returns (which Seller shall control and remain responsible for with respect to the Pre-Closing Date Periods). Such cooperation shall include the retention, and (upon the other party’s request) the provision, of records and information that are reasonably relevant to any such audit, litigation or other proceeding and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide

additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder; provided that the party requesting assistance shall pay the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the party providing such assistance; and provided further that no party shall be required to provide assistance at times or in amounts that would interfere unreasonably with the business and operations of such party. Purchaser agrees to retain all books and records, with respect to tax matters pertinent to Project Owner and 109 Wagon Wheel relating to any Pre-Closing Date Periods, and to any tax periods beginning before the Closing Date and ending after the Closing Date, until the expiration of any applicable statute of limitations or extensions thereof.

(d) At least ten (10) days prior to the Closing Date, Purchaser shall submit a written schedule that sets forth Purchaser’s proposed allocation of the Purchase Price, in relative percentages for each type of asset being acquired, which schedule shall be delivered to Seller for Seller’s consent thereto, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. If Seller objects to Purchaser’s written schedule, Purchaser and Seller shall use reasonable efforts to create a written schedule in a form mutually agreeable to both parties. Prior to the Closing Date, Purchaser shall prepare Internal Revenue Service Form 8594, Asset Acquisition Statement Under Section 1060 (“Form 8594”), in conformity with the written schedule as determined in accordance with this Section. Purchaser and Seller shall attach such Form 8594 to their respective tax returns for the applicable tax year, and to the extent that the Purchase Price is adjusted, consistently revise and amend the allocation schedule and Form 8594 as necessary. The allocation derived pursuant to this Section shall be binding on Purchaser and Seller for all tax reporting purposes and neither Purchaser nor Seller (or any of their respective affiliates) shall take any position (whether in tax returns, tax audits, or other administrative or court proceedings with respect to taxes) that is inconsistent with such allocation unless required to do so by applicable law.

4.6 Audit.

Purchaser has advised Seller that Purchaser must cause to be prepared up to three (3) years of audited financial statements in respect of the Property in compliance with the policies of Purchaser and certain laws and regulations, including, without limitation, Securities and Exchange Commission Regulation S-X. Seller agrees to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with Purchaser’s auditors in the preparation of such audited financial statements (it being understood and agreed that the foregoing covenant shall survive the Closing). Without limiting the generality of the preceding sentence (i) Seller shall, during normal business hours, allow Purchaser’s auditors reasonable access to such books and records maintained by Seller (and Seller’s manager of the Property) in respect of the Property as necessary to prepare such audited financial statements; (ii) Seller shall use reasonable efforts to provide to Purchaser such financial information and supporting documentation in the possession of Seller or as are necessary for Purchaser’s auditors to prepare audited financial statements; (iii) if Purchaser or its auditors require any information that is in the possession of the party from which Seller purchased the Property, Seller shall contact such prior owner of the Property and use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain from such party the information requested by Purchaser; (iv) Seller will make available for interview by Purchaser and Purchaser’s auditors the agents or representatives of Seller responsible for the day-to-day operation of the Property and the keeping of the books and records in respect of the operation of the Property; and (v) if Seller has audited financial statements with respect to the Property, Seller shall promptly provide Purchaser’s auditors with a copy of such audited financial statements. If after the Closing Date Seller obtains an audited financial statement in respect of the Property for a fiscal period prior to the Closing Date that

was not completed as of the Closing Date, then Seller shall promptly provide Purchaser with a copy of such audited financial statement, and the foregoing covenant shall survive Closing. It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of Purchaser under this Agreement that Seller shall have materially complied with the covenants set forth in this Section 4.6 as of the Closing Date.

ARTICLE V.
REMEDIES

5.1 Purchaser’s Remedies.

(a) Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties of Seller (i) under Article II of this Agreement and (ii) set forth in the Seller Closing Certificate shall survive the Closing for twelve months following the Closing, at which date such representations and warranties shall terminate, except that liability arising from or related to the representations and warranties in Section 2.1, Section 2.2, Section 2.3, Section 2.4(a), Section 2.5, Section 2.9, Section 2.10, Section 2.11, and Section 2.14 (and the corresponding provisions of the Seller Closing Certificate) shall survive indefinitely. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, any representation or warranty in respect of which indemnity may be sought under this Section 5.1 shall survive the time at which it would otherwise terminate pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 5.1, if notice of the inaccuracy or breach thereof giving rise to such right to indemnity shall have been given to the Seller by Purchaser prior to such time. The consummation of the Closing shall not affect the other covenants and obligations of the parties hereto.

(b) Indemnification of Purchaser. Seller shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Purchaser, 109 Wagon Wheel and the Project Owner from and against and in respect of, and promptly reimburse such entities for the amount of, any and all losses, costs, fines, liabilities, deficiencies, obligations, claims, penalties, damages, settlements, awards and expenses (including without limitation reasonable expenses of investigation and defense, and reasonable legal fees and expenses) (collectively “Losses”) resulting from, in connection with or arising out of, directly or indirectly:

(1) subject to Section 5.1(a), any breach of any representation or warranty of Seller in this Agreement, including any certificate or document delivered by Seller in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby;

(2) any breach of any covenant or obligation made by Seller in this Agreement, including any certificate or document delivered by Seller in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby;

(3) subject to Section 5.3, if the Closing occurs, (i) any activity or event involving the Property and occurring before Closing, other than as a consequence of acts, or when under a duty to act, omissions of Purchaser or any of its affiliates or any of their respective representatives, consultants or contractors, (ii) failure of the Project Owner to perform any obligation under any Contract prior to Closing, (iii) misapplication of deposits prior to Closing, or (iv) any liability or obligation of the Project Owner or 109 Wagon Wheel existing as of Closing other than Permitted Obligations; and

(4) any action, suit or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing.

(c) Specific Performance. It is understood that Seller’s breach of this Agreement may materially and irreparably harm Purchaser, and that money damages may accordingly not be an adequate remedy for any breach of this Agreement, and that Purchaser, in its sole discretion and in addition to any other remedies it may have at law or in equity may apply to any court of law or equity of competent jurisdiction (without posting any bond or deposit) for specific performance or other injunctive relief in order to enforce or prevent any violations of this Agreement.

5.2 Seller’s Remedies.

(a) Indemnification of Seller. Purchaser shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Seller from and against and in respect of, and promptly reimburse Seller for the amount of, any and all Losses resulting from, in connection with or arising out of, directly or indirectly:

(1) subject to Section 5.3, if the Closing occurs (i) any activity or event involving the Property and occurring after Closing, (ii) failure of the Project Owner to perform any obligation under any Contract following Closing, (iii) failure to properly apply deposits for which Purchaser receives a credit hereunder, or (iv) performance or nonperformance of the Permitted Obligations after the Closing; and

(2) any action, suit or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing.

(b) Nonperformance by Purchaser. Except with regard to Purchaser’s indemnity obligations detailed in this Agreement, Seller’s sole and exclusive remedy for any Purchaser breach of, misrepresentation under, or nonperformance of this Agreement, or any other act or omission of Purchaser or its affiliates related to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby including, without limitation, the failure of Purchaser to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, shall be to terminate the Purchase Option and the Put Option, and Seller shall have no other remedy at law or equity pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise against any person or entity, any such other remedy being expressly waived. Purchaser’s breach of, misrepresentation under, or nonperformance of this Agreement, or any other act or omission of Purchaser or its affiliates related to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, shall not affect the rights and obligations under the Mezzanine Loans. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if upon application to the outstanding balance of the Mezzanine Loans of the proceeds from the sale of the Property as permitted by Section 1.7(f), the Mezzanine Loans are not paid in full, Purchaser shall cause to be discharged the remaining balance of the Mezzanine Loans.

5.3 Indemnity Limits.

Neither Purchaser nor Sellers will be liable under Section 5.1(b)(3) or 5.2(a)(1) in respect of (i) Hazardous Materials existing on the Property (including in ground water, soil or soil vapor or in the ambient air over the Property) as of the Closing, or (ii) defects in the Improvements that exist as of Closing or non-compliance of the Improvements with applicable laws that exist as of the Closing (but without limiting any rights that the Project Owner may have under the Construction Contract). The limitations of this Section 5.3 do not extend to personal injury, loss of property (other than the Property) or death that results from Hazardous Materials, defects in the Improvements or noncompliance of the Improvements with applicable laws, responsibility for which will be

apportioned between Seller and Purchaser in accordance with Section 5.1(b)(3) or 5.2(a)(1) based on the time that the injury, loss or death occurs.

5.4 Arbitration.

Except with respect to any action by Purchaser for specific performance of this Agreement or any other action for injunctive relief, which actions shall be commenced and resolved in a court of competent jurisdiction, and except as otherwise expressly provided herein, any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or the breach thereof, shall be settled by binding arbitration in Dallas, Texas, by a single arbitrator reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser and Seller (provided, however, that if Purchaser and Seller are unable to agree upon a mutually satisfactory arbitrator, then the arbitrator shall be selected in accordance with the applicable rules of the American Arbitration Association), in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association governing large, complex commercial disputes then in effect. Purchaser and Seller will share equally the total expense charged by the American Arbitration Association and the arbitrator related to such arbitration as those expenses become due; but each party shall bear its own legal, accounting and all of its other fees and expenses related to the arbitration. Such arbitration and determination shall be final and binding on Purchaser and Seller, judgment may be entered upon such determination and award in any court having jurisdiction thereof, and Purchaser and Seller agree that no appeals shall be taken therefrom except as set forth in 9 U.S.C. §10. Notice of a demand for arbitration of any dispute subject to arbitration by one party shall be made in writing and simultaneously served on the other parties and filed with the American Arbitration Association. The parties agree that after any such notice has been filed, they shall, before the hearing thereof, make discovery and disclosure of all matters relevant to such dispute, to the extent and in the manner provided by the applicable rules of the American Arbitration Association. The arbitrator’s determination with respect to discovery shall be final and conclusive. Discovery and disclosure shall be completed no later than ninety (90) days after filing of such notice of arbitration unless extended by the arbitrator upon a showing of good cause by a party to the arbitration. The arbitrator may consider any evidence which is relevant to the subject matter of such dispute even if such evidence might also be relevant to issue or issues not subject to arbitration hereunder.
