Within three (3) business days after the Effective Date (as defined in the Receipt attached hereto to be executed by the Escrow Agent), Buyer shall deposit the sum of Twenty Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($20,000.00) (the “Initial Deposit”) in immediately available funds, by federal wire transfer to Presidio Title, LLC, Attn: Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxx (the “Escrow Agent” or “Title Company”), having its office at 0000 Xxxxxxxx, #000, Xxx Xxxxxxx, Xxxxx 00000, tel: (000)-000-0000; email: xxxxxxxxx@xxxxxxxxxxxxx.xxx, to be held by the Escrow Agent as xxxxxxx money in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement. If Buyer does not elect to terminate this Agreement prior to the expiration of the Feasibility Period or the Permitting Period in accordance with Section 3.02 and Section 3.06 below, then Buyer shall deliver to the Title Company as an additional xxxxxxx money deposit an amount equal to Twenty Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($20,000.00) (the “Additional Deposit”) within three (3) business days following the expiration of the Permitting Period. As used in this Agreement, “Deposit” means the Initial Deposit and the Additional Deposit. The Escrow Agent shall hold the Deposit in an interest bearing account reasonably acceptable to Seller and Buyer, in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. All interest accruing on the Deposit while being held by the Escrow Agent shall be deemed a part thereof and shall be delivered to the party entitled to receive the Deposit. The failure of Buyer to timely deliver the Initial Deposit or Additional Deposit shall immediately be deemed a material default, and shall entitle Seller, at Seller’s sole option, to terminate this Agreement by providing written notice to Buyer, and any all Deposits that have been received by the Title Company shall be released to Seller. The Deposit shall be applied as a credit to the Purchase Price at the Closing and is refundable to Buyer as set forth below; provided, that as set forth in Section 3.06, the Deposit will become non-refundable if this Agreement is not terminated prior to the end of the Permitting Period or any Permitting Extension Period and shall be immediately released to Seller.

The Independent Consideration is additional and separate consideration for Seller’s execution of this Agreement and Buyer’s right to terminate this Agreement during the Feasibility Period and the Permitting Period as provided herein. The Independent Consideration is non-refundable but will be applicable to the Purchase Price if Closing occurs.
1.05 Escrow Agent. Escrow Agent shall hold and dispose of the Deposit in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Seller and Buyer agree that the duties of the Escrow Agent hereunder are purely ministerial in nature and shall be expressly limited to the safekeeping and disposition of the Deposit in accordance with this Agreement. Escrow Agent shall incur no liability in connection with the safekeeping or disposition of the Deposit for any reason other than Escrow Agent’s willful misconduct or gross negligence. In the event that Escrow Agent shall be in doubt as to its duties or obligations with regard to the Deposit, or in the event that Escrow Agent receives conflicting instructions from Buyer and Seller with respect to the Deposit, Escrow Agent shall not be required to disburse the Deposit and may, at its option, continue to hold the Deposit until both Buyer and Seller agree as to its disposition, or until a final judgment is entered by a court of competent jurisdiction directing its disposition, or Escrow Agent may interplead the Deposit in accordance with the laws of the state in which the Property is located. Escrow Agent shall not be responsible for any interest on the Deposit except as is actually earned, or for the loss of any interest resulting from the withdrawal of the Deposit prior to the date interest is posted thereon.

1.06 Participation Option. At any time prior to the receipt of the Approvals (as defined below) by Buyer, Seller shall have the option (the “Participation Option”) to elect to contribute a portion of the Property in the minimum value of $600,000 (the “Contributed Property”) to Buyer. Should Seller elect to exercise the Participation Option, Seller will deliver notice of such election in writing to Buyer, which notice will also indicate the value that Seller desires to contribute. In exchange for the Contributed Property, Seller and Buyer will enter into an agreement in a form and substance acceptable to both parties whereby Seller shall receive an amount equal to the Contributed Property multiplied by 115% (the “Contribution Value”). At Closing, Buyer and Seller will enter into an agreement mutually acceptable to Buyer and Seller (the “Participation Agreement”), which Participation Agreement will provide that all distributions of cash flow from the development on the Property will first be paid to Seller pari passu with all other distributions of return of capital paid to the members of Buyer until such time that Seller has received an amount equal to the Contribution Value prior to any distributions of profits to any other owners. Following the distribution of the Contribution Value to Seller, Seller will not be entitled to any further distributions. As used herein, the term cash flow shall mean the gross cash receipts from the ownership, operation, financing, development, sale of all (or a portion of) the Property less all expenses with respect to the Buyer’s development costs, transaction costs incurred (other than any expenses paid to affiliates or related parties or foreign persons, as defined in Section 4.02(c)), any financing or sale of its assets and properties and customary expenses of the development and any income derived from leasing the Property. Buyer and Seller shall agree on the form of the Participation Agreement, which agreement shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed, or conditioned, on or prior to the later of (a) the expiration of the Permitting Period, or (b) twenty (20) days after Seller notifies Buyer that it elects to exercise the Participation Option.
ARTICLE 2
TITLE AND SURVEY
2.01 Title Commitment. Within fourteen (14) days of the Effective Date, Seller will provide or cause to be provided to Buyer, a commitment for title insurance on the Property (the “Title Commitment”) from the Title Company, dated no earlier than the Effective Date, setting forth the status of the title of the Property, (b) tax lien and judgment searches of Seller, and (c) legible copies of all documents referenced in the Title Commitment as exceptions or as otherwise noted in the Title Commitment (the “Title Documents”).
2.02 Survey. As soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Date but prior to the expiration of the Feasibility Period as defined in Section 3.02, Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a survey of the Property (the “Survey”) issued by a surveyor licensed as a professional surveyor in the State of Texas. Buyer agrees to deliver a copy of such Survey upon receipt to Seller and Title Company. At Closing, Seller agrees to reimburse Buyer one-half of the cost of the Survey, up to $3,000 (the “Survey Reimbursement”).
2.03 Title and Survey Review. Buyer shall have a period of ten (10) days after receipt of the Title Commitment, Title Documents and the Survey (the “Title Review Period”), to notify Seller in writing of any objections (“Title Objections.”) to any matters reflected in the Title Commitment and/or Survey (the “Objection Notice”). If Buyer fails to deliver an Objection Notice prior to the end of the Title Review Period, then Buyer will be deemed to have accepted all such exceptions to title and all other matters shown on the Title Commitment and Survey and such exceptions and matters shall be included in the term “Permitted Exceptions” (as defined herein). If Buyer delivers an Objection Notice to Seller, Seller may, within ten (10) days after receipt of the Objection Notice, notify Buyer that (a) Seller will attempt to cure and remove Title Objections prior to the Closing Date or (b) Seller elects not to cause such exceptions (including Survey matters objected to by Buyer) to be removed. If after the expiration of such ten-day period, Seller has not responded to the Objection Notice, Seller will be deemed to have elected to proceed in accordance with clause (b), i.e., to take no action with respect to Buyer’s Title Objections. Seller shall have no obligation to remove, satisfy or cure any Title Objections, except for liens voluntarily created by Seller that secure monetary obligations of Seller, judgment liens and delinquent real property taxes and assessments (the “Monetary Liens”), which Seller agrees to remove on or before Closing. For this purpose, Seller shall be entitled to a reasonable extension of the Closing Date if additional time is required, but in no event shall the extension extend for more than thirty (30) days. If Seller elects (or is deemed to have elected) not to cure such Title Objections, Buyer shall have ten (10) business days after the expiration of Seller’s ten-day response period, but in no event later than the expiration of the Feasibility Period, to either (i) terminate this Agreement by delivering written notice to Seller and the Title Company, whereupon the Title Company shall deliver the Deposit and any other amounts refundable herein, together with any interest thereon to Buyer less the Independent Consideration, and Seller’s obligation to sell and Buyer’s obligation to purchase the Property shall terminate absolutely; or (ii) elect to purchase the Property subject to the Title Objections which Seller has refused or failed to cure or remove, in which event such Title Objections shall be deemed “Permitted Exceptions” for all purposes hereunder. In the event Buyer does not elect (i) or (ii) above within ten (10) business days after the expiration of Seller’s ten-day response period, Buyer shall be deemed to have elected (ii) above.

2.04 Pre-Closing “Gap” Title Defects. Buyer may, at or prior to Closing, notify Seller in writing (the “Gap Notice Letter”) of any objections to title (a) raised by the Escrow Agent/Title Company or subsequently identified between the expiration of the Title Review Period and the Closing, other than a Permitted Exception, and (b) not disclosed by the Title Company or otherwise known to Buyer prior to the expiration of the Title Review Period as set forth in Section 2.03 (“Gap Title Defects”); provided that Buyer must notify Seller of such Gap Title Defects within five (5) business days of knowledge of the existence of such exception. If Buyer sends a Gap Notice Letter to Seller, Buyer and Seller shall have the same rights and obligations with respect to such notice as applies to Buyer’s Title Objections under Section 2.03 hereof. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, Buyer shall have no right to object to any matters affecting title which arise after the Effective Date if such matters are expressly contemplated by this Agreement.
2.05 Permitted Exceptions. The term “Permitted Exceptions” as used herein includes: (a) any easement, right-of-way, encroachment, conflict, discrepancy, overlapping of improvements, protrusion, lien, encumbrance, restriction, condition, covenant or other matter with respect to the Property that is reflected or addressed on the Survey or the Title Commitment and either (i) to which Buyer fails to timely object pursuant to Sections 2.03 or 2.04, or (ii) waived by Buyer; (b) the lien of all ad valorem real estate taxes and assessments not yet due and payable as of Closing, subject to adjustment as herein provided; and (c) local, state and federal laws, ordinances or governmental regulations, including but not limited to, building, zoning and land use laws, ordinances and regulations, now or hereafter in effect relating to the Property.
2.06 Conveyance of Title. At Closing, Seller shall convey and transfer to Buyer fee simple title to the Property, by execution and delivery of a special warranty deed (the “Deed”) in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit B, utilizing the legal description from the Survey or if the Land is platted, utilizing the platted legal description of the Land. Seller’s special warranty of title in the Deed shall be subject to the Permitted Exceptions. Evidence of delivery of such title shall be the Title Company’s binding commitment to issue to Buyer an Owner’s Policy of Title Insurance (the “Title Policy”) covering the Property, in the full amount of the Purchase Price or other amount agreed to by Buyer, subject only to the Permitted Exceptions. Prior to the Closing, Seller will not further encumber the Property, other than as may be otherwise expressly contemplated by this Agreement or upon obtaining the prior written consent of Buyer.

3.02 Right of Inspection. Beginning upon the Effective Date and ending at 5:00 p.m. (local time at the Property) on the date that is ninety (90) days following the Effective Date (the “Feasibility Period”), Buyer shall have the right to perform its physical inspection of the Property and shall have the right to enter upon the Property to perform such investigations, inspections, audits, analyses, surveys, tests, examinations, studies, and appraisals of the Property, as Buyer reasonably deems necessary or desirable, provided that any such inspections are at Buyer’s sole cost and expense, and are conducted to determine if the Property is suitable for Buyer’s purposes. Buyer understands and agrees that any on-site inspections of the Property shall occur at reasonable times agreed upon by Seller and Buyer after at least 24 hours’ prior written notice to Seller and shall be conducted so as not to interfere unreasonably with the use of the Property by Seller. Seller reserves the right to have a representative present during any such inspections. If Buyer desires to do any invasive testing at the Property, Buyer shall do so only after notifying Seller and obtaining Seller’s prior written consent thereto, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, but which consent shall be in Seller’s sole discretion, and which shall be at Buyer’s sole cost and expense. At Seller’s option, Buyer will furnish to Seller copies of any reports received by Buyer relating to any inspections of the Property. Buyer, its engineers, architects, employees, contractors, consultants, and agents shall maintain commercial liability insurance policies (in an amount not less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000 or as approved by Seller or Seller’s representative)) insuring against claims arising as a result of the inspection of the Property.

3.04 Right of Termination. If for any reason whatsoever Buyer determines that the Property or any aspect thereof is unsuitable for Buyer’s acquisition, Buyer shall have the right to terminate this Agreement within the Feasibility Period by giving written notice thereof to Seller and if Buyer gives such notice of termination, this Agreement shall terminate. If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.04 prior to the expiration of Feasibility Period, then neither party shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder (except for those rights, obligations or liabilities which expressly survive the termination of this Agreement), the Deposit shall be returned to Buyer and each party shall bear its own costs incurred hereunder. If Buyer fails to give Seller a notice of termination prior to the expiration of the Feasibility Period, Buyer shall be deemed to have waived its right to terminate this Agreement during the Feasibility Period and the Escrow Agent shall immediately release the Deposit to Seller.
3.05 Indemnification. Buyer shall pay for all work and inspections performed on or in connection with the Property by or on behalf of Buyer and shall not permit the creation of any lien in favor of any contractor, materialman, mechanic, surveyor, architect or laborer in connection therewith. BUYER SHALL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR AND SHALL AND HEREBY DOES INDEMNIFY AND HOLD HARMLESS SELLER FROM AND AGAINST ANY CLAIM, COSTS, EXPENSE, LIABILITY, INJURY OR DAMAGE ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY MANNER CONNECTED WITH SUCH DUE DILIGENCE ACTIVITIES BY BUYER OR BUYER’S EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, REPRESENTATIVES, OR CONTRACTORS OR THEIR SUB-AGENTS OR SUB-CONTRACTORS ON THE PROPERTY, including, without limitation, (i) any and all reasonable attorneys’ fees or court costs incurred by Seller in connection with any such claims or activities and (ii) mechanic’s liens or claims that may be filed against the Property by contractors, subcontractors or materialmen performing such work for Buyer. Buyer’s obligations under this Section 3.05 shall survive the Closing or the termination of this Agreement.
3.06 Permitting Period. Provided Buyer deposits with Escrow Agent the sum of $10,000.00 (the “Initial Permitting Fee”) on or before the expiration of the Feasibility Period, Buyer shall have a period of one hundred eighty (180) days following the expiration of the Feasibility Period (the “Permitting Period”), as such period may be extended herein, to obtain the following approvals from the appropriate governmental authorities: the re-zoning of the Property to mixed-use or multi-family zoning (the “Rezoning”); the approval of the Buyer’s site plan (the “Site Plan”); the civil permit for the horizontal development of the Property in accordance with the Site Plan (the “Civil Permit”, and together with the Rezoning and Site Plan are collectively referred to herein as the “Approvals”). Buyer’s efforts to obtain the Approvals shall always comply with the following requirements:
(a) The Civil Permit shall be deemed obtained by Buyer upon such permits being made available to the Buyer by the applicable governmental authority, notwithstanding the issuance of such permit.
(b) At Buyer’s request, Seller shall reasonably cooperate with Buyer to obtain the Approvals, but without having to incur any out-of-pocket costs and expenses. As a part of the process of seeking the Approvals, Buyer may enter into agreements restricting the use of, or granting easements over, the Property, provided such agreements, easements or other instruments are conditioned upon Buyer closing and obtaining title to the Property, and that such agreements, easements or other instruments shall not be recorded against the Property until after the Closing.
6 |
(c) Buyer will engage design professionals and appropriate consultants to prepare the Site Plan and other documents and applications necessary to obtain the Approvals and thereafter Buyer will use all commercially reasonable efforts to file its application for approval of the Site Plan and all other Approvals with the appropriate city and county governmental agencies and any neighborhood associations, if required, as soon as possible and thereafter diligently prosecute such Approvals to completion using all commercially reasonable efforts within the time periods set forth in this Section 3.06.
(d) During the Permitting Period and any Permitting Extension Period, Buyer will keep Seller informed of all matters related to the Approvals and provide Seller a monthly update of the Approvals process and submissions. Prior to submitting the Site Plan, any applications, documents, building plans or other plans to the appropriate governmental authorities, Buyer will submit such items for Seller’s review and approval, which approval will not unreasonably be withheld or delayed. Seller agrees to review the items submitted in a timely and commercially reasonable time period, but not exceeding ten (10) business days. Should Seller fail to respond in the foregoing time period and such failure results in the Buyer not being able to submit the items to the appropriate governmental agencies on the next scheduled submittal deadline (e.g., a submittal deadline for a planning commission hearing is missed due to a delay by Seller), such that Buyer must wait for the next governmental agency submittal period, then Seller agrees to extend the Permitting Period or Permitting Extension Period, as the case may be, for thirty (30) days or longer if necessary to allow Seller time to review and Seller and Buyer to agree on the submission of the items to the agencies.
(e) Subject to any timelines and review periods contained in this Agreement that relate to a specific Approval, Buyer agrees to submit the preliminary Site Plan for initial staff review with the City of Leander within sixty (60) days of the Effective Date, and thereafter diligently pursue obtaining the Approvals following the submission of the various Approval applications. If Buyer fails to timely submit the preliminary Site Plan to the City of Leander in the foregoing sixty (60) days period, Seller shall have the option to (a) terminate this Agreement and receive the Deposit, (b) extend the time to submit the Approvals. Buyer shall provide Seller or Seller’s representatives with a copy of all submitted Approvals, in a timely manner but no more than five (5) business days after such Approvals are submitted to the respective reviewing authority.
Provided Buyer is in compliance with the provisions of this Section 3.06, and despite Buyer’s diligent efforts to obtain such Approvals, Buyer is unable to obtain such Approvals prior to expiration of the Permitting Period, Buyer shall be entitled to extend the Permitting Period for three (3) periods of ninety (90) days each (each, an “Permitting Extension Period”) by delivering written notice to Seller of such extension (a “Permitting Extension Notice”) prior to expiration of either the original Permitting Period or the then-expiring Permitting Extension Period as the case may be. Upon delivery of a Permitting Extension Notice to Seller of Buyer’s exercise of a Permitting Extension Period, Buyer shall deposit with Escrow Agent the sum of $10,000.00 as an extension fee for each Permitting Extension Period exercised (the “Permitting Extension Fee”). The Initial Permitting Fee and all Permitting Extension Fees shall be nonrefundable but applicable to the Purchase Price at Closing and Title Company is hereby instructed, upon receipt of such fees, to release the funds to Seller immediately upon receipt. If at the end of the Permitting Period, as the same may be extended herein, Buyer is unable to obtain the Approvals, Buyer shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by written notice to Seller and Escrow Agent prior to expiration of the Permitting Period or of the then expiring Permitting Extension Period, as the case may be, whereupon the Deposit shall be returned to Buyer. If Buyer fails to give Seller a notice of termination prior to the expiration of the Permitting Period or the then expiring Permitting Extension Period, Buyer shall have no further right to terminate the Agreement pursuant to this Section 3.06 and will be deemed to have elected to proceed with the Closing, shall pay the Additional Deposit, and the Deposit shall become non-refundable to Buyer, except as elsewhere provided herein. The Permitting Period or Permitting Extension Period will immediately terminate at such time that Buyer obtains the Approvals, and Buyer shall pay the Additional Deposit.

(b) Notwithstanding anything contained in Section 4.04(a) hereof, any taxes paid at or prior to Closing shall be prorated based upon the amounts accruing during such calendar year. If taxes and assessments due and payable during the year of Closing have not been paid before Closing, Seller shall be charged at Closing an amount equal to that portion of such taxes and assessments which relates to the period before Closing and Buyer shall pay the taxes and assessments prior to their becoming delinquent. Any such apportionment made with respect to a tax year for which the tax rate or assessed valuation, or both, have not yet been fixed shall be based upon the tax rate and/or assessed valuation last fixed. To the extent that the actual taxes and assessments for the current year differ from the amount apportioned at Closing, the parties shall make all necessary adjustments by appropriate payments between themselves within sixty (60) days after such amounts are determined following Closing, subject to the provisions of Section 4.04(c) hereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if all or part of the Property has been assessed for tax purposes at a value that will cause “roll-back” taxes to be due upon the change in land usage or ownership of all or part of the Property (“Rollback Taxes”), the Rollback Taxes will be paid at Closing and Buyer will be responsible for 100% of the Rollback Taxes. The provisions of this Section 4.04(b) shall survive Closing; € Except as otherwise provided herein, any expense amount which cannot be ascertained with certainty as of Closing shall be prorated on the basis of the parties’ reasonable estimates of such amount and shall be the subject of a final proration ninety (90) days after Closing, or as soon thereafter as the precise amounts can be ascertained. Buyer shall promptly notify Seller when it becomes aware that any such estimated amount has been ascertained. Once all expense amounts have been ascertained, Buyer shall prepare, and certify as correct, a final proration statement which shall be subject to Seller’s approval. Upon Seller’s acceptance and approval of any final proration statement submitted by Buyer, such statement shall be conclusively deemed to be accurate and final.
