If Sellers are unable or unwilling to cure any such New Title Matter to the satisfaction of Purchaser (in Purchaser's sole discretion) within the lesser of five (5) days following receipt by Sellers of a New Objection or the Closing Date, Purchaser shall have the right, to be exercised within one (1) Business Day of receiving Sellers' written response to New Objection(s) either to (i) terminate this Agreement with respect to the Property or Properties that such New Title Matter pertains, by delivering a written termination notice to Sellers, in which event the terms and conditions of Section 16 shall apply, provided, Purchaser shall be entitled to any other remedies pursuant to this Agreement if the New Title Matter was caused by a breach of a covenant or representation of Sellers under this Agreement, or (ii) waive the New Objections that Sellers did not expressly agree in writing to cure. In the event Purchaser fails to timely elect (i) or (ii) above, then Purchaser shall be conclusively deemed to have elected (ii) above. |
| (e) | Subject to Sellers' obligations with respect to the Mandatory Cure Matters and the terms and conditions of Section 4(d), all matters shown on the Title Commitment and Surveys, together with all matters subsequently waived or deemed waived by Purchaser, are herein collectively called "Permitted Exceptions." |

Sellers shall also be obligated to provide the Title Company with those requirements enumerated on Schedule C of the Title Commitment which are applicable to Sellers and which are required in order for the Title Company to issue the Title Policy ("Seller Title Deliverables").

(i)Manage and maintain or cause to be managed and maintained its respective Property and continue or cause to be continued its other business activities, all in accordance with its customary practices in the ordinary course of their business and in compliance with all Applicable Law, including, without limitation: (A) not remove any 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 Personal Property; and (B) not convey, transfer or encumber any Property (or any part thereof or any interest therein) or create or modify any exceptions to title to any Property.

Sellers liability for the breach of any of the covenants provided in this Section 9(d) shall survive the Closing or early termination of this Agreement for the duration of the Survival Period.
| 10. | Condemnation or Casualty. |
| (a) | Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, if, prior to Closing, either (i) an amount equal to 2% of the Purchase Price allocated to any Property pursuant to Section 2(b) or more of damage is caused to any Property as a result of any earthquake, hurricane, tornado, flood, landslide, fire, act of war, terrorism, terrorist activity or other casualty, or any portion of any Property equal to or greater than such amount is taken (or is threatened to be permanently taken) under the power or threat of eminent domain (temporarily or permanently), (ii) material access to any Property, or a material portion of the parking is permanently taken (or is threatened to be taken) under the power or threat of eminent domain, or (iii) a casualty occurs that is reasonably estimated to result in loss of rental income to any Property after Closing in excess of $100,000 that is not covered by insurance (any event under subsections (i) through (iii) being a "Material Change"), then, in any such event, Purchaser may elect to terminate this Agreement with respect to the Property or Properties for which the Material Change pertains by giving written notice to Sellers of its election to terminate this Agreement with respect to the applicable Property or Properties (a "Material Event Termination Notice") on or before the tenth (10th) day after Purchaser receives written notice of such destruction, taking or threatened taking. Purchaser, at its option and in its sole discretion, may extend the Closing Date to allow Purchaser such full ten (10)-day period to determine if Purchaser elects to issue a Material Event Termination Notice. If Purchaser does not give (or has no right to give) a Material Event Termination Notice within such ten (10)-day period, then (A) this transaction shall close as set forth in this Agreement with Purchaser accepting the Properties in their condition as affected by the casualty or condemnation (subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 10(a)), (B) Purchaser shall pay the full Purchase Price (subject to clause (D) below), (C) Sellers shall assign to Purchaser the proceeds of any insurance policies payable to Sellers (or shall assign the right or claim to receive such proceeds after Closing), or Sellers' right to or portion of any condemnation award (or payment in lieu thereof), and (D) the amount of any deductible, not to exceed the amount of loss, or self-insured amount, not to exceed the amount of loss, or uninsured amount shall be a credit against the Purchase Price. If Purchaser timely delivers a Material Event Termination Notice pursuant to this section, the terms and conditions of Section 16 shall apply. Sellers shall not settle or compromise any insurance claim or condemnation action without the prior written consent of Purchaser, and Purchaser shall have the option to participate in any such claim or action. Sellers shall obtain Purchaser's prior approval (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) with respect to (Y) the repair of any Material Change (including the plans, contracts and contractors for such repair work), and (Z) the repair of any other casualty or condemnation if such repair will not be fully and completed repaired prior to the Closing, however nothing in this Agreement obligates Sellers to undertake any such repairs other than |
| any normal and customary remediation actions. The provisions of this Section 10(a) shall survive Closing. |
| (b) | Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, subject to the procedures set forth in Section 10(a), Sellers shall bear risk of loss of the Properties until the actual time of Closing, after which time the risk of loss shall pass to Purchaser and Purchaser shall be responsible for obtaining its own insurance thereafter. |
| 11. | Brokerage. Sellers and Purchaser represent and warrant, each to the other, that neither has contacted, consulted, or become in any way connected with any broker, finder, or other such party in connection with this Agreement or the sale contemplated herein, except that Sellers have engaged CBRE (the "Broker"). The commission for the Broker shall be paid by Sellers pursuant to a separate agreement. Sellers and Purchaser also represent and warrant, each to the other, that no broker, finder, or other party other than the Broker, including Sellers, Purchaser, their partners, employees, agents, or affiliates is entitled to, has earned or has been paid directly or indirectly any brokerage commission, or similar fee, however paid in any form as a consequence of this transaction. Sellers and Purchaser shall each defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the other, against any and all claims of brokers, finders, or the like asserting the right to a commission or similar fee through the acts of the indemnifying party, or the indemnifying party's partners, agents, or affiliates in connection with this Agreement. Each party's indemnity obligation shall include all damages, losses, costs, liabilities and expenses, including reasonable attorney's fees, which may be incurred by the other in connection with all the matters against which the other is indemnified hereunder. The provisions of this Section 11 shall survive the Closing or early termination of this Agreement. |
| 12. | Remedies for Default. |
| (a) | If Purchaser shall default under this Agreement, and such default is not cured in accordance with Section 12(c) below, then Sellers shall be entitled, as their sole and exclusive remedy, to terminate this Agreement and receive and retain the Xxxxxxx Money. IF SELLERS TERMINATE THIS AGREEMENT PURSUANT TO THIS SECTION 12(A), PURCHASER AND SELLERS AGREE THAT SELLERS' ACTUAL DAMAGES WOULD BE IMPRACTICABLE OR EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO FIX OR ASCERTAIN. THE PARTIES THEREFORE AGREE THAT, IN SUCH EVENT, SELLERS, AS SELLERS' SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY, ARE ENTITLED TO LIQUIDATED DAMAGES IN THE AMOUNT OF THE XXXXXXX MONEY, AND, FOLLOWING SUCH TERMINATION, NEITHER PARTY SHALL HAVE ANY FURTHER OBLIGATION OR LIABILITY UNDER THIS AGREEMENT EXCEPT FOR SURVIVING OBLIGATIONS. |
| (b) | If any Seller shall default under this Agreement and such default is not cured in accordance with Section 12(c) below, then Purchaser may, as its sole and exclusive remedy, either elect to: (i) terminate this Agreement, with respect to either the particular Property or Properties affected by the default or all of the Properties, in which event (A) all of the Xxxxxxx Money shall be refunded to Purchaser if |
| Purchaser elects to terminate with respect to all of the Properties or (B) the terms and conditions of Section 16 shall apply if Purchaser elects to terminate with respect to only the affected Property or Properties; or (ii) bring one or more actions for specific performance of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Purchaser elects option (i), Sellers shall, promptly upon written demand, reimburse Purchaser for Purchaser's actual out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees, costs and disbursements) related the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including, without limitation, the negotiation of this Agreement and Purchaser's due diligence), up to a maximum of $125,000 (multiplied by the number of Properties for which Purchaser's termination applies). |
| (c) | Subject to Section 12(b) above, prior to the exercise of any remedy set forth in this Agreement by any Seller or Purchaser due to a default by the other party or the termination right of either party set forth in Section 5, the non-defaulting party (or the party benefiting from the applicable condition that has failed) shall give the other party written notice specifying such default (or failed condition) and a five (5) day opportunity to cure such default (or failed condition) (with such notice and cure period automatically extending the Closing Date) hereunder. |
| (d) | If either party shall be entitled to pursue an action for monetary damages due to a default or breach under this Agreement or under any of the instruments of conveyance delivered pursuant to Section 6 of this Agreement, such action shall be limited to a claim for actual damages attributable to the default or breach and Sellers and Purchaser each waive any right to seek consequential, special or punitive damages in any such action. |
| 13. | Notices. All notices permitted or required pursuant to this Agreement shall be in writing, addressed to the respective party at the address for notices designated below, and shall be sent by nationally recognized overnight express courier, or by electronic mail with an original copy thereof transmitted to the recipient by courier no later than one (1) Business Day thereafter. All notices shall be effective upon either electronic or physical delivery to the address of the addressee (even if such addressee refuses delivery thereof). The parties hereto may change their addresses by giving notice thereof to the other in conformity with this Section 13. |

| (c) | This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and each such counterpart hereof shall be deemed to be an original instrument, but all such counterparts together shall constitute but one Agreement.

Any such attempted recording in violation of the terms of this Agreement, shall give rise to a right on the part of Sellers to terminate this Agreement and to avail itself of the remedies set forth in Section 12 of this Agreement. |
| (h) | Sellers and Purchaser acknowledge and agree that the purchase and sale of one or more of the Properties may be part of one or more tax-free exchanges under Section 1031 of the Code for either Purchaser or any Seller. Each party hereby agrees to take all reasonable steps on or before the Closing Date to facilitate such exchange if requested by the other party, provided that (a) no party making such accommodation shall be required to acquire any substitute property, (b) such exchange shall not affect the representations, warranties, liabilities, covenants and obligations of the parties to each other under this Agreement, (c) no party making such accommodation shall incur any additional cost, expense or liability in connection with such exchange (other than expenses of reviewing and executing documents required in connection with such exchange), and (d) no dates in this Agreement will be extended as a result thereof unless by mutual written agreement of the parties. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the foregoing, if any Seller so elects to close the transfer of the Properties as an exchange, then (i) such Sellers, at its sole option, may delegate, in whole or in part, its obligations to transfer some or all of the assets under this Agreement, and may assign its rights, in whole or in part, to receive all or a portion of the Purchase Price from Purchaser, to one or more deferred exchange qualified intermediaries (each, a "QI") or to one or more exchange accommodation titleholders (each an, "EAT"), as the case may be; (ii) such delegation and assignment shall in no way reduce, modify or otherwise affect the obligations of Sellers pursuant to this Agreement; (iii) Sellers shall remain fully liable for its obligations under the Agreement as if such delegation and assignment shall not have taken place; (iv) QI(s) or EAT(s), as the case may be, shall have no liability to Purchaser; and (v) the closing of the transfer of the Properties to Purchaser shall be undertaken by direct deed(s), assignment(s) and other appropriate conveyance(s) from Sellers (or, if applicable, from other affiliates of Sellers whom Sellers will cause to execute such deeds, assignments and other appropriate instruments of conveyance) to Purchaser or to EAT(s), as the case may be. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the foregoing, if Purchaser so elects to close the acquisition of the Properties in one or more exchanges, then (i) Purchaser, at its sole option, may delegate, in whole or in part, its obligations to acquire the Properties under the Agreement, and may assign its rights, in whole or in part, to receive the Properties from Sellers, to one or more QIs or to one or more EATs, as the case may be; (ii) such delegation and assignment shall in no way reduce, modify or otherwise affect the obligations of Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement; (iii) Purchaser shall remain fully liable for its obligations under this Agreement as if such delegation and assignment shall not have taken place; (iv) QI(s) or EAT(s), as the case may be, shall have no liability to Sellers; and (v) the closing of the acquisition of the Properties by Purchaser or |
| the EAT(s), as the case may be, shall be undertaken by direct deed(s) from Sellers (or, if applicable, from other affiliates of Sellers whom Sellers will cause to execute such deeds, assignments and other appropriate instruments of conveyance) to Purchaser (or to EAT(s), as the case may be). |
| (i) | A "Business Day" is any day other than Saturday or a Sunday on which federally chartered banks in Texas are permitted to be open and accepting deposits. Whenever under the terms of this Agreement, the time for performance of a covenant or condition falls upon a day that is not a Business Day, such time for performance shall be extended to the next Business Day. |
| (j) | Purchaser may assign or otherwise transfer its interest under this Agreement, in whole or in part, to any entities directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by or under common control with Purchaser, provided said assignees assume all obligations of Purchaser under this Agreement (provided, in the case of an assignment to multiple entities, each assignee shall only be obligated to assume the obligations of Purchaser applicable to the portion of the Agreement such assignee is taking an assignment of) and, prior to Closing, Purchaser delivers a copy or copies of the assignment or assignments to Sellers executed by both Purchaser and the assignee(s) evidencing the assignment by the Purchaser and assumption of the applicable obligations of Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement by the assignee(s). Despite any assignment by Purchaser, Purchaser shall remain primarily liable for its obligations pursuant to this Agreement. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Section the interest, rights and obligations under this Agreement of Purchaser are not assignable and any assignment or transfer in violation of this Section shall be void. |
| (k) | From and after the Contract Date, the identity of Purchaser and Purchase Price (and allocations of the Purchase Price specified in Section 2(b) hereof) are confidential, and Sellers shall not disclose the same to anyone other than to Sellers’ legal counsel, investors and other agents and representatives who need to know such information in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (collectively, “Permitted Third Parties”). Neither Sellers nor Purchaser shall issue any press release with respect to Sellers’ sale or Purchaser’s acquisition of the Properties or the terms of this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other party, which consent may be withheld in such party’s sole discretion. Further, from and after the Contract Date, Sellers shall not use the name “Ares” in any communication related to or concerning the transaction contemplated by this Agreement (other than with Permitted Third Parties) without the prior written consent of Purchaser, which consent may be withheld in Purchaser’s sole discretion. The provisions of this Section 14(k) shall survive the Closing or earlier termination of this Agreement. |
| (l) | IT IS THE INTENT OF SELLERS AND PURCHASER THAT THE RIGHTS AND REMEDIES WITH RESPECT TO THE TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY LEGAL PRINCIPLES OTHER THAN THE TEXAS DECEPTIVE TRADE PRACTICES-CONSUMER PROTECTION ACT. ACCORDINGLY, TO THE |
| MAXIMUM EXTENT APPLICABLE AND PERMITTED BY LAW (AND WITHOUT ADMITTING SUCH APPLICABILITY), EACH OF THE SELLERS AND PURCHASER HEREBY WAIVE THE PROVISIONS OF THE TEXAS DECEPTIVE TRADE PRACTICES-CONSUMER PROTECTION ACT, CHAPTER 17, SUBCHAPTER 3 (OTHER THAN SECTION 17.555, WHICH IS NOT WAIVED), TEXAS BUSINESS AND COMMERCE CODE, A LAW THAT GIVES CONSUMERS SPECIAL RIGHTS AND PROTECTIONS. FOR PURPOSES OF THE WAIVERS SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, PURCHASER HEREBY WARRANT AND REPRESENT UNTO SELLERS THAT (A) PURCHASER HAS KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERIENCE IN FINANCIAL AND BUSINESS MATTERS THAT ENABLE IT TO EVALUATE THE MERITS AND RISKS OF THE TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, (B) PURCHASER IS NOT IN A SIGNIFICANTLY DISPARATE BARGAINING POSITION WITH SELLERS REGARDING THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, (C) PURCHASER IS REPRESENTED BY LEGAL COUNSEL THAT IS SEPARATE AND INDEPENDENT OF SELLERS AND SELLERS' LEGAL COUNSEL AND (D) PURCHASER HAS CONSULTED WITH PURCHASER'S LEGAL COUNSEL REGARDING THIS AGREEMENT PRIOR TO PURCHASER'S EXECUTION OF THIS AGREEMENT AND VOLUNTARILY CONSENTS TO THIS WAIVER. |
| 15. | Limitation of Liability. |
| (a) | Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if the Closing shall have occurred, the aggregate liability of Sellers arising pursuant to or in connection with the representations, warranties, indemnifications, covenants or other obligations (whether express or implied) of Sellers under this Agreement, the Access Agreement and any documents made, executed and delivered by Sellers pursuant to this Agreement, shall not exceed Six Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($6,500,000).

Notwithstanding anything in this Section 15(a) or Section 9(c) to the contrary, the Survival Period and the limitations on Sellers' liability provided in this Section 15(a), shall not apply to Seller's liabilities and obligations with respect to (i) post-Closing prorations under Section 7, (ii) claims for brokerage commissions or fees associated with this transaction pursuant to Section 11, (iii) attorneys' fees incurred by Purchaser pursuant to Section 14(f), (iv) any claim for damages if a court of competent jurisdiction determines, in a final, non-appealable judgment, that Sellers willfully committed fraud against Purchaser with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; or (v) Seller's obligations under Section 10. As security for Seller’s potential liability to Purchaser post-Closing, at Closing, each Seller Group, Purchaser and Escrowee shall enter into an agreement (each, a “Post-Closing |
| (b) | Neither any constituent member of or agent of any Seller, nor any advisor, trustee, director, officer, employee, beneficiary, shareholder, participant, representative or agent of any entity that is or becomes a constituent member of any Seller, shall have any personal liability, directly or indirectly, under or in connection with this Agreement or any agreement made or entered into under or pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, or any amendment or amendments to any of the foregoing made at any time or times, heretofore or hereafter, and Purchaser and its successors and assigns and, without limitation, all other persons and entities, shall look solely to Sellers' corporate assets for the payment of any claim or for any performance, and Purchaser, on behalf of itself and its successors and assigns, hereby waives any and all such personal liability. Neither any constituent member of or agent of Purchaser, nor any advisor, trustee, director, officer, employee, beneficiary, shareholder, participant, representative or agent of any entity that is or becomes a constituent member of Purchaser shall have any personal liability, directly or indirectly, under or in connection with this Agreement or any agreement made or entered into under or pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, or any amendment or amendments to any of the foregoing made at any time or times, heretofore or hereafter, and Sellers and its successors and assigns and, without limitation, all other persons and entities, shall look solely to Purchaser's corporate assets for the payment of any claim or for any performance, and each Seller, on behalf of itself and its successors and assigns, hereby waives any and all such personal liability. The provisions of this Section 15(b) shall survive the Closing or any termination of this Agreement. |
| (c) | Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, all obligations, representations, warranties and liabilities of Sellers under this Agreement (including, without limitation, Sellers' liability under Section 12 and this Section 15) shall be joint and several with respect to each Seller Group. By way of example, all obligations, representations, warranties and liabilities of the Wiregrass Sellers shall be: (i) joint and several among the entities that comprise the Wiregrass Sellers; and (ii) several with respect to the Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxx, the A110 Sellers, the Savannah Sellers and the Maple Sellers. |
| 16. | Partial Termination.

| to the Subject Property(s) except for Surviving Obligations; and (iii) this Agreement shall be otherwise modified to accomplish such partial termination (e.g. such that Sellers are no longer required to make Closing deliveries pursuant to Section 6 applicable only to the Subject Property(s)). |
