ARTICLE VII.
REMEDIES
Section 7.1 Seller's Remedies.
Other than the matters provided in Sections 5.3 and 6.4
hereof, in the event Purchaser fails to perform any of its
obligations pursuant to this Agreement for any reason except
failure by Seller to perform hereunder, Seller, as its sole
and exclusive remedy, shall be entitled 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 the
Seller's damages resulting from Purchaser's default are
difficult, if not impossible, to determine and the Xxxxxxx
Money is a fair and reasonable estimate of those damages which
has been agreed to in an effort to cause the amount of said
damages to be certain.
Section 7.2 Purchaser's Remedies.
In the event Seller fails to perform its obligations pursuant
to this Agreement (other than a breach of representation or
warranty) for any reason except failure by Purchaser to
perform hereunder, Purchaser may elect, as its sole remedy (i)
to
14
terminate this Agreement by giving Seller timely written
notice of such election prior to or at Closing and recover the
Xxxxxxx Money in accordance with Section 7.4 (less the
Independent Consideration which shall be paid to Seller), and
recover the Default Payment (as hereinafter defined) or (ii)
seek the remedy of specific performance against Seller. As
used herein, "DEFAULT PAYMENT" shall mean a sum of money equal
to Purchaser's third party expenses actually incurred in the
negotiation of this Agreement, its due diligence regarding the
Property, and all other expenses attributable to this
Agreement to the date of Seller's default, not to exceed
$50,000. In the event that Purchaser elects to recover the
Default Payment, it shall have first given Seller ten (10)
days' written notice and opportunity to cure its default
(except for failure to convey title at Closing). In the event
of a material breach of representation or warranty by Seller
discovered by Purchaser after Closing, Purchaser's remedies
are limited to those described in Section 8.4. IN NO EVENT
SHALL SELLER, ITS DIRECT OR INDIRECT PARTNERS, SHAREHOLDERS,
OWNERS, OR AFFILIATES, ANY OFFICER, DIRECTOR, EMPLOYEE,
ATTORNEY, OR AGENT OF THE FOREGOING, OR ANY AFFILIATE OR
CONTROLLING PERSON THEREOF HAVE ANY LIABILITY, BEYOND ITS
INTEREST IN THE REAL PROPERTY, 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 (COLLECTIVELY, THE
"CLAIMS"), AND PURCHASER HEREBY WAIVES THE CLAIMS.
Section 7.3 Attorneys' Fees.
In the event either party hereto is required to employ an
attorney in connection with claims by one party against the
other arising from the operation of this Agreement, the
non-prevailing party shall pay the prevailing party all
reasonable fees and expenses, including attorneys' fees,
incurred in connection with such transaction.
Section 7.4 Disposition of Xxxxxxx Money.
In the event of a termination of this Agreement by either
Seller or Purchaser, Closing Agent is authorized to deliver
the Xxxxxxx Money to the party hereto entitled to same
pursuant to the terms hereof on or before the fifth (5th) day
following receipt by the Closing Agent and non-terminating
party of written notice of such termination from the
terminating party, unless the other party hereto notifies the
Closing Agent that it disputes the right of the other party to
receive the Xxxxxxx Money. In such event, the Closing Agent
may interplead the Xxxxxxx Money into a court of competent
jurisdiction in Dallas County, Texas. All attorneys' fees and
costs and Closing Agent's costs and expenses incurred in
connection with such interpleader shall be assessed against
the party that is not
15
awarded the Xxxxxxx Money or if the Xxxxxxx Money is
distributed in part to both parties, then in the inverse
proportion of such distribution.

or other instrumentality of any of them.

Purchaser as follows:
(a) At all times from the Effective Date until the Closing Date,
Seller shall maintain (or cause to be maintained, in
accordance with the terms of the Lease) in force, fire and
extended coverage insurance upon the Real Property for not
less than the full replacement value of the Real Property, and

in their present condition and repair, except for normal wear
and tear and any casualty or condemnation, and Seller shall

new items.
Section 8.4 Survival of Representations and Warranties.
Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein, the representations and
warranties set forth in Section 8.2 shall be continuing and shall be
true and correct on and as of the Closing Date with the same force and
effect as if made at that time, and such representations and warranties
shall survive the Closing for a period of one (1) year, at which time
they shall expire and terminate and be of no further force and effect
unless a claim for breach thereof has been instituted within such one
(1) year period; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, Purchaser shall have the right to
bring an
17
action thereon only if Purchaser has given the Seller written notice of
the circumstances giving rise to the alleged breach within such one (1)
year period. Purchaser hereby waives and relinquishes all right to seek
punitive or consequential damages.
Section 8.5 Knowledge Standard.
For purposes of this Agreement, wherever the terms "SELLER'S KNOWLEDGE"
or "TO THE BEST OF SELLER'S KNOWLEDGE" is used, it shall be limited to
the actual knowledge (being the current, conscious awareness of facts
or other information, without investigation or implied duty to
investigate) of Xxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxx Xxxxx, and Xxxxx Spain (the "SELLER
REPRESENTATIVES"); provided, however, the foregoing individuals are
acting for and on behalf and in their respective capacities as officers
of Seller or one or more of Seller's affiliates and are in no manner
expressly or impliedly making any of these representations in their
individual capacities and Purchaser hereby waives any right to xxx or
to seek any judgment or claim against any of them on an individual
basis. The term "TO SELLER'S KNOWLEDGE" or "TO THE BEST OF SELLER'S
KNOWLEDGE" shall not include knowledge imputed to the Seller from any
other person. Seller represents and warrants to Purchaser that the
Seller Representatives are the employees of Seller most likely to be
informed as to the Property.
ARTICLE IX.
CONDEMNATION
Section 9.1 Condemnation.
If, prior to Closing, any governmental authority or other entity having
condemnation authority shall institute an eminent domain proceeding or
take any steps preliminary thereto (including the giving of any direct
or indirect notice of intent to institute such proceedings) with regard
to a Material Portion (as hereinafter defined) of the Real Property,
and the same is not dismissed on or before ten (10) days prior to
Closing, Purchaser shall be entitled, as its sole remedy, to terminate
this Agreement by giving written notice to Seller on or before the
earlier to occur of (a) ten (10) days following notice by Seller to
Purchaser of such condemnation, or (b) the Closing Date. In the event
Purchaser does not terminate this Agreement pursuant to the preceding
sentence, Purchaser shall be conclusively deemed to have elected to
close the acquisition of the Property subject to such condemnation,
without any reduction in Purchase Price, and waives any right to
terminate this Agreement as a result thereof. For purposes of this
Section 9.1, a "MATERIAL PORTION" shall mean that portion of the Real
Property which, if taken or condemned, would reduce the value of the
Property by not less than $250,000.00. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary herein, if any eminent domain proceeding is instituted (or
notice of which is given) solely for the taking of any subsurface
rights for utility easements or for any right-of-way
18
easement, and the surface may, after such taking, be used in
substantially the same manner as though such rights had not been taken,
Purchaser shall not be entitled to terminate this Agreement as to any
part of the Real Property, but any award resulting therefrom shall be
the exclusive property of Purchaser upon Closing. In the event
Purchaser elects to terminate this Agreement under this Section 9.1,
the Xxxxxxx Money (less the Independent Consideration) shall be
returned to Purchaser, and neither party to this Agreement shall
thereafter have any further rights or obligations hereunder except as
otherwise provided in Sections 5.3 and 6.4 hereof. If Purchaser waives
(or is deemed to have waived) the right to terminate this Agreement as
a result of such a condemnation, despite such condemnation, Seller and
Purchaser shall close this Agreement in accordance with the terms
hereof with no reduction in the Purchase Price, and Seller shall assign
to Purchaser at Closing all of Seller's right, title and interest in
and to all proceeds resulting or to result from said condemnation.
ARTICLE X.
RISK OF LOSS
Section 10.1 Risk of Loss.
Until Closing, Seller alone shall bear the risk of loss should there be
damage to any of the Improvements by fire or other casualty
(collectively, "CASUALTY"). If, prior to the Closing, any of the
Improvements shall be damaged by a Casualty, Seller shall deliver to
Purchaser written notice ("CASUALTY LOSS NOTICE") of such Casualty
after it has made its determination provided for in Section 10.2
hereof.
Section 10.2 Material Loss.
For the purposes of Sections 10.2 and 10.3, "MATERIAL DAMAGE" shall
mean damage to the Improvements of such nature that the cost of
restoring the same to their condition prior to the Casualty will, in
Seller's determination, exceed $250,000.00, whether or not such damage
is covered by insurance. If, in Seller's determination, the
Improvements have sustained Material Damage by a Casualty, Seller may,
at its option, terminate this Agreement by delivering written notice to
Purchaser on or before Closing, and neither party hereto shall have any
further rights or obligations hereunder (except pursuant to Sections
5.3 and 6.4 hereof). In the event Seller does not so terminate this
Agreement, Purchaser may, at its sole option, within fifteen (15) days
after delivery of the Casualty Loss Notice, either (a) terminate this
Agreement by delivering written notice of same to Seller, or (b) waive
its right of termination and proceed to close this transaction in
accordance with the terms hereof without reduction to the Purchase
Price (the "WAIVER OPTION"). Failure of Purchaser to deliver written
notice of termination within said fifteen (15) day period shall be
conclusively deemed to be an election by Purchaser of the Waiver
Option. In the event Seller or Purchaser elects to terminate this
Agreement under this Section 10.2, the Xxxxxxx Money (less the
19
Independent Consideration) shall be returned to Purchaser and
thereafter neither party to this Agreement shall thereafter have any
further rights or obligations hereunder, except as otherwise provided
in Sections 5.3 and 6.4 hereof. If Purchaser elects the Waiver Option,
then Seller shall repair the Improvements to substantially their
condition prior to such damage.
Section 10.3 Non-Material Loss.
In the event, in Seller's determination, the Improvements have
sustained less than Material Damage by a Casualty, the rights and
obligations of the parties shall not be affected thereby and Seller
shall repair the Improvements to substantially their condition prior to
such damage.
Section 10.4 Delay in Completion of Repairs.
If Seller has undertaken repairs and if the repairs cannot be completed
by the Closing Date, Seller shall postpone the Closing Date until five
(5) days following substantial completion of the repairs.
Section 10.5 Postponement of Closing.
If, as a result of a Casualty any determination, election or agreement
required by the terms of this Article X is not made by the Closing
Date, the Closing Date shall be extended until twenty (20) days after
said determination, election or agreement is made, subject to such
further extension as may be allowed by the terms of this Article X,
notwithstanding anything in Section 6.1 of this Agreement to the
contrary; provided, however, if said determination, election or
agreement has not been made within thirty (30) days following the
originally scheduled Closing Date, this Agreement shall automatically
terminate, and neither party shall have any further rights or
obligations hereunder (except pursuant to Sections 5.3 and 6.4 hereof)
and the Xxxxxxx Money (less the Independent Consideration) shall be
returned to Purchaser.
ARTICLE XI.
