With respect to any delinquent rentals, Buyer will make a reasonable attempt for 3 months following Closing (but shall not be obligated) to collect the same for Seller’s benefit after the Closing in the usual course of the operation of the Property and such collection, if any, will be remitted to Seller promptly upon receipt by Buyer. Nothing contained herein shall operate to require Buyer to institute any lawsuit or other collection procedure to collect such delinquent rentals or to prohibit Seller from any such collection. Any sums received by Buyer from any tenants owing delinquent rentals will be applied first to the current portion of such tenant’s rent, then to any delinquent rentals owed with respect to the period following Closing, and then (and only then) to delinquent rentals owed with respect to the period before Closing. Buyer additionally agrees to pay or reimburse all usual and customary finder’s fees, commissions and the like payable with respect to any Tenant Leases that (1) are executed after the Effective Date and prior to the Closing Date and (2) pursuant to which the Tenant takes occupancy of its unit on or after the expiration of the Feasibility Period. At the Closing, Seller will pay to Buyer in cash the amount of any security deposits actually paid to or received by Seller under the Tenant Leases (and not as of the Closing Date returned to or forfeited by tenants under Tenant Leases) and any prepaid rentals actually paid to or received by Seller for periods subsequent to the Closing; provided, however, non-refundable payments, deposits, or fees (including pet fees/deposits) collected by Seller shall not be prorated. In making the prorations required by this Section 4, the economic burdens and benefits of ownership of the Property for the Closing Date shall be allocated to Buyer. The provisions of this Section 4(e) shall survive the Closing.

(f) Utilities and other customarily prorated expenses, including, without limitation, water, sewer, gas, electricity, trash removal, and fire protection service, and any contracts or agreements for services to the Property to be transferred to and assumed by Buyer, to the extent paid for by Seller or required to be paid for by Seller for a period after Closing, shall be prorated as of the Closing Date. Other expenses relating to the Property up to the Closing Date and all periods prior thereto including those required by any contract or agreement for any services to the Property and those incurred or ordered by Seller or Seller’s agents that are not to be transferred and assumed by Buyer, including, without limitation, insurance and administrative expenses, shall be paid for by Seller, and Buyer shall not be liable therefor. Seller shall not assign to Buyer, and Buyer shall not be entitled to, any deposits held by any utility company or other company servicing the Property; instead, such deposits shall be returned to Seller, and Buyer shall arrange and bear all responsibility to arrange with all utility companies to have accounts styled in Buyer’s name beginning on the Closing Date. The provisions of this Section 4(f) shall survive the Closing.

(g) At the Closing, Seller shall deliver to Buyer (or make available at the Property), to the extent in Seller’s possession or control, originals of the Tenant Leases, copies of the tenant correspondence files, keys, access codes, and originals of any other items which Seller was required to furnish or make available pursuant to Section 7, except for Seller’s general ledger and other internal books or records which shall be retained by Seller.

(h) If any apartment unit is vacated five (5) days or more prior to Closing, then, prior to Closing, Seller shall use commercially reasonable diligence to return such unit to rentable condition in accordance with Seller’s customary cleaning, painting, and repair standards for vacant units, including causing all appliances to be cleaned and in working order (the condition of such an apartment unit after cleaning is referred to herein as a “Rent Ready Condition”). Buyer shall receive a credit for each unit that became vacant on a date that is five or more days prior to Closing and that is not in Rent Ready Condition at Closing in an amount agreed to by Seller and Buyer. In the event Seller and Buyer cannot agree upon the amount with respect to any unit or units which are not in Rent Ready Condition (“Disputed Units”), the sum of $400.00 as to each Disputed Unit shall be withheld from the Sales Price at Closing and deposited in an escrow account (“Make Ready Escrow Account”) maintained by the Title Company under an Escrow Agreement to be agreed upon by Seller and Buyer at Closing. Buyer shall be entitled to withdraw funds from the Escrow Amount as repairs are made to the Disputed Units (up to a maximum of $400.00 per Disputed Unit) within fifteen (15) days from presentation to the Title Company (with a copy to Seller) of a request for disbursement accompanied by copies of paid third party invoices evidencing such work (“Request for Disbursement”); provided, however, Seller shall have the right to dispute such payment by sending written notice of such objection to the Title Company and Buyer within ten (10) days following receipt of the Request for Disbursement. The Title Company shall hold such funds in the Make Ready Escrow Account as to the disputed Request for Disbursement until Seller and Buyer advise the Title Company in writing as to the agreed disbursement of the disputed funds. The balance of the Make Ready Escrow Account shall be paid to Seller upon the earlier to occur of (i) the completion of the repairs to all of the Disputed Units; or (ii) thirty (30) days from Closing.

5. FEASIBILITY STUDY AND INSPECTION.

(a) Buyer is granted the right to conduct engineering and/or market and economic feasibility studies of the Property and a physical inspection of the Property, including studies or inspections to determine the existence of any environmental hazards or conditions (collectively, the “Feasibility Study”) during the period (the “Feasibility Period”) commencing on the Effective Date and ending at 5:00 p.m., Austin, Texas time on the date that is thirty (30) days after the Effective Date. With Seller’s permission, after Seller has received advance notice sufficient to permit it to schedule in an orderly manner Buyer’s examination of the Property and to provide at least twenty-four (24) hours advance written notice to any affected tenants, Buyer or its designated agents may enter upon the Property for purposes of analysis or other tests and inspections deemed necessary by Buyer for the Feasibility Study; provided, however, Buyer is not permitted to perform any intrusive testing, including, without limitation, a Phase II environmental assessment or boring, without (i) submitting to Seller the scope and inspections for such testing; and (ii) obtaining the prior written consent of Seller which may be withheld in Seller’s sole and absolute discretion. Buyer shall not alter the physical condition of the Property without notifying Seller of its requested tests, and obtaining the written consent of Seller to any physical alteration of the Property.

If Buyer determines, in its sole judgment, that the Property is not suitable for any reason for Buyer’s intended use or purpose, or is not in satisfactory condition, then Buyer may terminate this Contract by written notice to Seller prior to expiration of the Feasibility Period, in which case the Initial Deposit will be returned to Buyer, and neither party shall have any further right or obligation hereunder other than as set forth herein with respect to rights or obligations that survive termination. If the Contract is not terminated in the manner and within the time provided in this Section 5, the condition provided in this Section 5(a) and any and all objections with respect to the Feasibility Study shall be deemed to have been waived by Buyer for all purposes, and Buyer shall deliver the additional amount of TWO-HUNDRED FIFTY-THOUSAND DOLLARS AND NO/100 ($250,000.00) (the “Additional Deposit”) to the Title Company within two (2) Business Days after the expiration of the Feasibility Period, which Additional Deposit shall be held by the Title Company as escrow agent and distributed (or refunded to Buyer, as applicable) according to the terms of this Contract and at such time the Initial Deposit and the Additional Deposit shall (i) become non-refundable to Purchaser except as provided in this Contract (including, without limitation, as a result of a default by Seller or failure of a condition to Closing under this Contract); and (ii) be applicable to the Purchase Price at Closing. The Feasibility Study shall be at Buyer’s sole cost and expense.

(b) Buyer shall promptly restore the Property to its original condition if damaged or changed due to the tests and inspections performed by Buyer, free of any mechanic’s or materialman’s liens or other encumbrances arising out of any of the inspections or tests, and shall provide Seller, at no cost to Seller, with a copy of the results of any tests and inspections made by Buyer, excluding any market and economic feasibility studies. Buyer shall keep confidential the results of any tests and inspections made by Buyer, and shall not disclose said results to any third parties; other than Buyer’s officers, directors, employees, affiliates, counsel, investment advisors, potential lenders, partners, investors and participants and their advisors and other representatives (collectively “Buyer Group”), and the Buyer Group shall be informed to treat such information confidentially and in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Contract. Buyer hereby indemnifies and holds Seller harmless from all claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees), actions and causes of action arising out of or in any way relating to the Feasibility Study performed by Buyer, its agents, independent contractors, servants and/or employees, including those caused by or in any way contributed to by the negligence of Seller, its agents, independent contractors, servants and/or employees; provided such indemnity shall not extend to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Seller, its agents, independent contractors, servants and/or employees. Buyer further waives and releases any claims, demands, damages, actions, causes of action or other remedies of any kind whatsoever against Seller for property damages or bodily and/or personal injuries to Buyer, its agents, independent contractors, servants and/or employees arising out of the Feasibility Study or use in any manner of the Property. Buyer shall procure and continue in force from and after the date Buyer first enters the Property, and continuing throughout the term of this Contract, Comprehensive General Liability Insurance with a combined single limit of not less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) per occurrence, or Commercial General Liability Insurance, with limits of not less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) per occurrence and Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000) per event. Seller shall be included as an additional insured(s) under such comprehensive general liability or commercial general liability coverage. Such insurance shall include: (i) personal injury liability with employee and contractual exclusions removed; and (ii) a waiver of subrogation in favor of Seller without exception for the negligence of any additional insured. Buyer will not be permitted to come onto the Property unless and until Buyer has provided to Seller a certificate of insurance evidencing such coverage, the additional insured status of Seller, and such waiver of subrogation. The provisions of this Section 5(b) shall survive the Closing or any termination of this Contract and are not subject to any liquidated damage limitation on remedies, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Contract.

(c) During the Feasibility Period, Buyer shall review all Service Contracts provided by Seller. Buyer shall notify Seller prior to the expiration of the Feasibility Period of those Service Contracts that it disapproves, and Seller shall, at Seller’s expense, terminate such disapproved Service Contracts effective not later than the Closing Date. All Service Contracts not disapproved by Buyer during the Feasibility Period shall be deemed to have been approved by Buyer, and Buyer shall assume and be liable for any and all obligations under the respective Service Contracts extending past the Closing Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer shall be deemed to have approved and shall have no right to reject those Service Contracts that, by their terms, cannot be terminated by Seller without the payment of a penalty, termination fee, or other charge.

6. TITLE APPROVAL.

(a) Seller has previously delivered to Buyer and Buyer acknowledges receipt of: a Commitment for Title Insurance with copies of all recorded instruments affecting the Property and recited as exceptions in said Commitment for Title Insurance (collectively, the “Commitment”). Within fifteen (15) days of the Effective Date, Seller shall, at Seller’s sole cost and expense provide to Buyer a current “as-built” survey (“New Survey”). New Survey must: (1) be prepared by a Registered Professional Land Surveyor; (2) be in a form reasonably acceptable to the Title Company; (3) set forth a legal description of the Lands by metes and bounds or by reference to a platted lot or lots; (4) show that the New Survey was made on the ground with corners marked with monuments either found or placed; (5) show any discrepancies or conflicts in boundaries, and any visible encroachments; (6) contain the surveyor’s certificate that the Survey is true and correct; and (7) show the location and size of all of the following on or immediately adjacent to the Land, if any, if recorded or visible and apparent: (a) buildings, (b) building set back lines (as shown on any recorded plat, but not as may be described in any restrictive covenants or zoning ordinances), (c) streets and roads, (d) 100-year flood plain (approximate location), (e) improvements, (f) encroachments, (g) easements, (h) recording information of recorded easements, (i) pavements, (j) protrusions, (k) fences, (1) rights-of-way, and (m) any markers or other visible evidence of utilities. Any area of the Property within the 100-year flood plain will be shown on the Survey as the approximate location of the 100-year flood plain as defined by the Federal Emergency Management Agency or other applicable governmental authority. If Buyer has an objection to items disclosed in the Commitment or the New Survey, then Buyer will be entitled to give Seller written notice of its objections for a period of ten (10) Business Days following the receipt of the New Survey. If Buyer gives timely written notice of its objections, then Seller may, but shall not have any obligation to, cure such objections for a period of five (5) days from the date Seller receives Buyer’s notice (“Seller’s Cure Period”). Seller shall utilize reasonable diligence to cure any errors in the Commitment, provided Seller shall not have any obligation to expend any money, to incur any contractual or other obligations, or to institute any litigation in pursuing such efforts other than to remove at Closing financing liens of an ascertainable amount created by, through, or under Seller; further provided, notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller is required to cure any objection that may be cured by performance of the following acts: (A) satisfaction of any mortgages placed upon the Property by Seller or expressly assumed by Seller as a lien to secure indebtedness; or (B) causing the release of any mechanic’s liens placed upon the Property by a third party in connection with work performed or alleged to have been performed on the Property by, or at the request of, Seller (collectively “Monetary Encumbrances”). At Seller’s option, Seller may elect to cure an objection made by Buyer by causing the Title Company to issue an endorsement to “insure over” such objection (“Seller’s Curative Endorsement”). If any objection is not satisfied during Seller’s Cure Period, then Buyer shall elect not later then five (5) days after the expiration of Seller’s Cure Period, but in any event on or before expiration of the Feasibility Period, as its sole and exclusive remedy to either: (i) terminate this Contract, in which case the Xxxxxxx Money shall be refunded to Buyer, and neither party will have any further rights or obligations pursuant to this Contract, other than as set forth herein with respect to rights or obligations that survive termination; or (ii) waive the unsatisfied objection (which shall thereupon become a Permitted Exception) and proceed to Closing. Any exception to title not objected to by Buyer in the manner and within the time period specified in this Section 6(a) shall be deemed accepted by Buyer. Buyer may, at Buyer’s sole cost and expense, obtain an update of the New Survey (“Updated Survey”). If the Updated Survey shows exceptions not previously shown on the New Survey (individually a “New Exception” and collectively the “New Exceptions”), Buyer may object to such New Exceptions in accordance with the mechanism contained in this Section 6(a); provided Buyer shall have no right to object to any New Exception if the New Exception (i) is a utility service easement (“Service Easement”) whereby the public utility provides utility service to any portion of the Improvements and the Improvements do not encroach into the boundaries of the Service Easement; or (ii) reflects the addition of paving, sidewalks, pool decking or landscaping and such additional of paving, sidewalks, pool decking or landscaping does not cause the Property to violate applicable law or applicable restrictions. The phrase “Permitted Exceptions” means those exceptions to title set forth in the Commitment or the New Survey or the Updated Survey and that have been accepted or deemed accepted by Buyer. Buyer shall notify Seller in writing of any failure of the Commitment or New Survey to satisfy the requirements of this Section 6(a) within ten (10) days after the Commitment and New Survey are received by Buyer, and if Buyer fails to do so, then they shall be deemed to satisfy such requirements.

(b) After the Effective Date, Seller shall not intentionally or deliberately place on the Property any encumbrance (references to “encumbrance” include any lien, encumbrance, or other exception to title) other than new Tenant Leases as permitted by the terms of this Contract. If prior to the Closing Date title to the Property becomes subject to any encumbrance other than a Permitted Exception, then Seller may (but shall not be obligated to) attempt to cure such encumbrance; provided Seller shall be obligated to remove any Monetary Encumbrance. If Seller is unable or unwilling to cure any such encumbrance, then Buyer may, as its sole and exclusive remedy either: (i) terminate this Contract by written notice to Seller whereupon the Xxxxxxx Money and any Extension Fee shall be returned to Buyer, and neither party will have any right or obligation hereunder other than as set forth herein with respect to rights or obligations that survive termination; or (ii) proceed to Closing without receiving any credit against or reduction of the Sales Price whereupon Buyer shall be deemed to have accepted such encumbrance as an exception to title (which shall thereupon become a Permitted Exception).

(a) BUYER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT EXCEPT FOR ANY EXPRESS WARRANTIES AND REPRESENTATIONS CONTAINED IN THIS CONTRACT OR ANY INSTRUMENT, DOCUMENT, OR AGREEMENT TO BE DELIVERED TO BUYER AT CLOSING, BUYER IS NOT RELYING ON ANY WRITTEN, ORAL, IMPLIED, OR OTHER REPRESENTATIONS, STATEMENTS, OR WARRANTIES BY SELLER OR ANY AGENT OF SELLER OR ANY REAL ESTATE BROKER OR SALESMAN. ALL PREVIOUS WRITTEN, ORAL, IMPLIED, OR OTHER STATEMENTS, REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES, OR AGREEMENTS, IF ANY, ARE MERGED HEREIN. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH HEREIN, SELLER SHALL NOT HAVE ANY LIABILITY TO BUYER, AND BUYER SHALL RELEASE SELLER FROM ANY LIABILITY (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, CONTRACTUAL AND/OR STATUTORY ACTIONS FOR CONTRIBUTION OR INDEMNITY), FOR, CONCERNING, OR REGARDING: (A) THE NATURE AND CONDITION OF THE PROPERTY, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE SUITABILITY THEREOF FOR ANY ACTIVITY OR USE; (B) ANY IMPROVEMENTS OR SUBSTANCES LOCATED THEREON; OR (C) THE COMPLIANCE OF THE PROPERTY WITH ANY LAWS, RULES, ORDINANCES, OR REGULATIONS OF ANY GOVERNMENT OR OTHER BODY. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN SECTION 12, SELLER HAS NOT MADE, DOES NOT MAKE, AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS, ANY WARRANTIES, REPRESENTATIONS, COVENANTS OR GUARANTEES, EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, OR ARISING BY OPERATION OF LAW, AS TO THE MERCHANTABILITY, HABITABILITY, QUANTITY, QUALITY, OR ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITION OF THE PROPERTY OR ITS SUITABILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR USE. BUYER AFFIRMS THAT IT: (I) HAS OR WILL HAVE HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE INVESTIGATED AND INSPECTED THE PROPERTY AND IS FAMILIAR AND SATISFIED WITH THE PHYSICAL CONDITION OF THE PROPERTY; AND (II) HAS MADE OR WILL HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE ITS OWN DETERMINATION AS TO THE MERCHANTABILITY, QUANTITY, QUALITY, AND CONDITION OF THE PROPERTY, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE POSSIBLE PRESENCE OF TOXIC OR HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES OR WASTE OR OTHER ENVIRONMENTAL CONTAMINATION AND THE PROPERTY’S SUITABILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR USE. BUYER HEREBY ACCEPTS THE PROPERTY IN ITS PRESENT CONDITION (INCLUDING ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS) ON AN “AS IS,” “WHERE IS,” AND “WITH ALL FAULTS” BASIS. BUYER FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT WITHOUT THIS ACCEPTANCE, THIS SALE WOULD NOT BE MADE AND THAT EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS CONTRACT, SELLER WILL NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES HAVE ANY OBLIGATION WHATSOEVER TO UNDERTAKE ANY REPAIR, ALTERATION, REMEDIATION, OR OTHER WORK OF ANY KIND WITH RESPECT TO ANY PORTION OF THE PROPERTY. BUYER AND ITS SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS HAVE, AND SHALL BE DEEMED TO HAVE, ASSUMED ALL RISK AND LIABILITY WITH RESPECT TO THE PRESENCE OF TOXIC OR HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES OR WASTE OR OTHER ENVIRONMENTAL CONTAMINATION ON OR WITHIN OR UNDER THE SURFACE OF THE PROPERTY, WHETHER KNOWN OR UNKNOWN, APPARENT, NON-APPARENT OR LATENT, AND WHETHER EXISTING PRIOR TO, AT, OR SUBSEQUENT TO, TRANSFER OF THE PROPERTY. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS CONTRACT, BUYER AND ITS SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS HEREBY RELEASE SELLER OF AND FROM ANY AND ALL RESPONSIBILITY, LIABILITY, OBLIGATIONS, AND CLAIMS, KNOWN OR UNKNOWN, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY OBLIGATION TO TAKE THE PROPERTY BACK OR REDUCE THE PRICE, OR ACTIONS FOR CONTRIBUTION OR INDEMNITY, THAT BUYER OR ITS SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS MAY HAVE AGAINST SELLER OR THAT MAY ARISE IN THE FUTURE, BASED IN WHOLE OR IN PART, UPON THE PRESENCE OF TOXIC OR HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES OR WASTE OR OTHER ENVIRONMENTAL CONTAMINATION ON OR WITHIN OR UNDER THE SURFACE OF THE PROPERTY, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ALL RESPONSIBILITY, LIABILITY, OBLIGATIONS, AND CLAIMS THAT MAY ARISE UNDER THE COMPREHENSIVE ENVIRONMENTAL RESPONSE, COMPENSATION, AND LIABILITY ACT, AS AMENDED 42 U.S.C. § 9601 ET SEQ. BUYER FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE PROVISIONS OF THIS DISCLAIMER AND RELEASE HAVE BEEN FULLY EXPLAINED TO BUYER AND THAT BUYER FULLY UNDERSTANDS AND ACCEPTS SAME. THE PROVISIONS OF THIS DISCLAIMER AND RELEASE SURVIVE CLOSING.

(b) Except as otherwise specifically stated in this Contract, Buyer agrees that Seller shall not be responsible or liable to Buyer for any construction defects, errors, omissions, or on account of any other conditions affecting the Property, as Buyer is purchasing the Property AS IS, WHERE IS, and WITH ALL FAULTS. Buyer or anyone claiming by, through or under Buyer, hereby fully releases Seller, its employees, officers, directors, representatives, attorneys and agents from any claim, cost, loss, liability, damage, expense, demand, action or cause of action arising from or related to any construction defects, errors, omissions, or other conditions affecting the Property. Buyer further acknowledges and agrees that this release shall be given full force and effect according to each of its expressed terms and provisions, including, without limitation, those relating to unknown and suspected claims, damages and causes of action. This covenant releasing Seller shall be a covenant running with the Property and shall be binding upon Buyer, its successors and assigns. Subject to consummation of this Contract, Seller hereby assigns to Buyer, without recourse or representation of any nature, effective upon Closing, any and all claims that Seller may have against any third party for any such errors, omissions or defects in the Property. As a material covenant and condition of this Contract, Buyer agrees that in the event of any such construction defects, errors, omissions or on account of any other conditions affecting the Property, Buyer shall look solely to Seller’s predecessors in title or to such contractors and consultants as may have contracted for work in connection with the Property for any redress or relief. Upon the assignment by Seller of its claims, Buyer releases Seller of all rights, express or implied, Buyer may have against Seller arising out of or resulting from any errors, omissions or defects in the Property. This waiver and release of claims shall survive the Closing.

10. DEFAULT.

(a) Seller’s Remedies. If Buyer fails to perform its obligations pursuant to this Contract at or prior to Closing for any reason except failure by Seller to perform hereunder, or if prior to Closing any one or more of Buyer’s representations or warranties are breached in any material respect, then Seller shall be entitled, as its SOLE and EXCLUSIVE remedy (except as provided in Sections 5(b) and 8), to terminate this Contract and retain the Xxxxxxx Money as liquidated damages and not as penalty, in full satisfaction of claims against Buyer hereunder. Seller and Buyer agree that Seller’s damages resulting from Buyer’s default are difficult, if not impossible, to determine, and the Xxxxxxx Money is a fair estimate of those damages and has been agreed to in an effort to cause the amount of such damages to be certain. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 10(a) to the contrary, in the event of Buyer’s default or termination of this Contract, Seller shall have all remedies available at law or in equity if Buyer or any party related to or affiliated with Buyer is asserting any claims or right to the Property that would otherwise delay or prevent Seller from having clear, indefeasible and marketable title to the Property.

(b) Buyer’s Remedies. If Seller fails to perform its obligations pursuant to this Contract for any reason except failure by Buyer to perform hereunder, or if prior to Closing any one or more of Seller’s representations or warranties are breached in any material respect, then Buyer shall elect, as its SOLE and EXCLUSIVE remedy, to either: (i) terminate this Contract by giving Seller timely written notice of such election prior to or at Closing and recover the Xxxxxxx Money and any Extension Fee, together with Buyer’s actual, third party, out of pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with Buyer’s Feasibility Study, up to a maximum cumulative reimbursement not to exceed $25,000.00; or (ii) enforce specific performance; provided, however, if — and only if — the remedy of specific performance is not available to Buyer due to Seller’s prior sale of the Property to a third party, then Buyer shall have the additional remedy of terminating the Agreement and recovering from Seller an amount equal to the sum of Buyer’s documented, out-of-pocket third party costs paid or incurred in connection with the acquisition of the Property, or (iii) waive said failure or breach and proceed to Closing. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Buyer shall be deemed to have elected to terminate this Contract if Buyer fails to deliver to Seller written notice of its intent to file a claim or assert a cause of action for specific performance against Seller on or before fifteen (15) business days following the scheduled Closing Date or, having given such notice, fails to file a lawsuit asserting such claim or cause of action in Xxxxxxxxxx County, Texas, within two (2) months following the scheduled Closing Date. In no event or circumstance shall Buyer be entitled to any consequential or punitive damages. Buyer’s remedies shall be limited to those described in this Section 10(b).

11. ATTORNEYS’ FEES. Any party to this Contract who is the prevailing party in any legal proceeding against the other party brought under or with respect to this Contract or transaction shall be additionally entitled to recover court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees from the non-prevailing party.

(c) It shall be a condition precedent to Buyer’s obligations hereunder that as of the date of Closing, all of Seller’s representations and warranties shall be true and correct in all material respects. If the representations and warranties of Seller which to Sellers actual knowledge were true and correct when made are not true and correct in all material respects on the date of Closing, then Buyer may, at its option, (a) waive such condition and close this transaction in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Contract or, (b) terminate this Contract by notice in writing to Seller and receive back the Xxxxxxx Money whereupon neither party shall have any further rights or obligations pursuant to this Contract, other than as set forth herein with respect to rights or obligations that survive termination.

(d) Subject to the provisions of Section 12(e), the representations and warranties of Seller made in Section 12(a) shall survive the Closing for a period of six (6) months (the “Survival Period”). Buyer shall have the right to bring an action against the Seller on the breach of a representation or warranty hereunder, but only on the following conditions: (i) the Buyer first learns of the breach after Closing and files such action within the Survival Period, and (ii) Buyer shall not have the right to bring a cause of action for a breach of a representation or warranty unless the damage to such party on account of such breach (individually or when combined with damages from other breaches) equals or exceeds Twenty-Five Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($25,000.00). Furthermore, Buyer agrees that the maximum liability of Seller for the alleged breach of any or all representations or warranties set forth in this Contract is limited to Two Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($200,000.00).

14. USE OF PROPERTY. Seller has not claimed the benefit of laws permitting a special use valuation for the purposes of payment of ad valorem taxes on the Property. If a previous owner claimed such benefit and, after the purchase is closed, Buyer changes the use of the Property from its present use and the same results in the assessment of additional taxes, such additional taxes will be the obligation of the Buyer, notwithstanding that some or all of such additional taxes may relate back to the period prior to Closing.

15. CONDEMNATION. Seller agrees to give Buyer prompt notice of any condemnation action affecting the Land, the Improvements or the Personal Property between the Effective Date and the Closing Date.

16. DAMAGE TO PROPERTY. Seller agrees to give Buyer prompt notice of any fire or other casualty affecting the Land, the Improvements or the Personal Property between the Effective Date and the Closing.

(a) If prior to the Closing either (i) the Property is damaged by an uninsured casualty costing TWO-HUNDRED THOUSAND AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($200,000.00) or more to repair and Seller is unwilling or unable to repair such damage on or prior to the Closing; or (ii) the Property is damaged by fire or other casualty which is insured that would cost TWO-HUNDRED FIFTY-THOUSAND AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($250,000.00) or more to repair, then in any such event, either Buyer or Seller may, at its option, elect to terminate this Contract by written notice to the other party within twenty (20) days after the date of Seller’s notice to Buyer of the casualty or at the Closing, whichever is earlier, in which case the Xxxxxxx Money and any Extension Fee shall be refunded to Buyer, and neither party shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder, other than as set forth herein with respect to rights and obligations that survive termination. If neither Buyer nor Seller timely makes its election to terminate this Contract, then the Closing shall take place as provided herein without reduction of the Sales Price (except for (i) the amount equal to Seller’s deductible under its insurance policies and (ii) the amount, but in no event more than TWO-HUNDRED THOUSAND AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($200,000.00) of the estimated cost to repair any uninsured casualty), and there shall be assigned to Buyer at the Closing all interest of Seller in and to any casualty insurance proceeds, including, to the extent assignable the proceeds of any business interruption or loss of rental insurance.

(b) If prior to the Closing there shall occur damage to the Property caused by fire or other casualty which is insured that would cost less TWO-HUNDRED FIFTY-THOUSAND AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($250,000.00) to repair, then in any such event, Buyer shall have no right to terminate this Contract, but there shall be assigned to Buyer at Closing all interest of Seller in and to any casualty insurance proceeds that may be payable to Seller on account of any such occurrence, including, to the extent assignable the proceeds of any business interruption or loss of rental insurance and the Sales Price shall be reduced by an amount equal to Seller’s deductible under its insurance policies.

(c) Seller and Buyer both agree to use the Seller’s insurance adjuster’s assessment to determine the amount of damages.

(a) Buyer has the full right, power and authority to purchase the Property as provided in this Contract and to carry out Buyer’s obligations hereunder, and that all requisite action necessary to authorize Buyer to enter into this Contract and to carry out Buyer’s obligations hereunder has been taken.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any breach by Buyer of any of the foregoing representations or warranties shall constitute a default by Buyer hereunder, and Seller may thereupon, at its option, terminate this Contract by giving written notice thereof, in which event the Xxxxxxx Money shall be paid to Seller as liquidated damages, and neither Buyer nor Seller shall have any further rights or liabilities hereunder, except as otherwise provided herein.
