AGREEMENT
1.Β Β Β Β Agreement of Purchase and Sale. Seller agrees to sell the Property to Buyer, and Buyer agrees to purchase the Property from Seller, at the Closing for the Purchase Price and upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or in the "Closing Documents" (as defined below), the term "Property" shall not include any of the following items, all of which are excluded from the sale by Seller to Buyer hereunder (and all of which shall be retained by Seller at Closing) (collectively, the "Reserved Company Assets"): all cash, cash equivalents (including certificates of deposit) on hand or in any bank account, operating account or other account maintained in connection with the ownership, management or operation of the Property including any non-refundable security deposits (but without limiting the credits to Buyer under Section 6.9 for Tenant Security Deposits, prepaid rents or other matters), deposits held by third parties (e.g., utility companies), accounts receivable and any right to a refund or other payment relating to a period prior to the Closing, including any real estate tax refund (subject to the prorations hereinafter set forth), bank accounts, claims or other rights of Seller against any present or prior partner, member, employee, agent, manager, officer or director of Seller or its direct or indirect partners, members, shareholders or affiliates, any refund in connection with termination of Sellerβs existing insurance policies, any insurance claims or proceeds arising out of or relating to events that occur prior to the Closing Date subject to the terms of Section 8 of this Agreement, all contracts between Seller and any law firm, accounting firm, property manager, leasing agent, broker, environmental consultants and other consultants and appraisers entered into prior to the Closing (other than Service Contracts that are assumed by Buyer under this terms of Section 7), any proprietary or confidential materials (including any materials relating to the background or financial condition of a present or prior direct or indirect partner or member of Seller), the internal books and records of Seller relating, for example, to contributions and distributions prior to the Closing, any software, websites, marketing brochures or other marketing materials, any trademarks, trade names, brand marks, brand names, trade dress or logos relating thereto except as provided in the definition of Property above (without taking into account the exclusion therein for Reserved Company Assets), any development bonds, letters of credit or other collateral held by or posted with any governmental entity or other third party with respect to any improvement, subdivision or development obligations concerning the Property, any fixtures, personal property or other assets that are owned by (a) the supplier or vendor under any Service Contract, (b) the tenant under any Lease and (c) the property manager of the
-4-
Property, any other intangible property that is not used exclusively in connection with the Property.
Seller and Buyer (or an affiliate thereof) have entered into a separate Purchase and Sale Agreement and Joint Escrow Instructions as of the Effective Date (the βParallel Agreementβ) relating to the sale of real property proximately located to the Property. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Buyer shall have no right to Purchase, and the Seller shall be under no obligation to sell, the Property unless the transactions contemplated by the Parallel Agreement are consummated (the βParallel Saleβ), it being the express intention and agreement between Buyer and Seller that, as an inducement to Seller and Buyer to enter into this Agreement, Buyer has agreed to purchase and Seller has agreed to sell all the Property simultaneously with the Parallel Sale.
2.Β Β Β Β Purchase Price. Buyer shall pay the Purchase Price to Seller for the Property as provided in SectionΒ 3 below (the "Purchase Price").
3.Β Β Β Β Payment of Purchase Price.
3.1Β Β Β Β Independent Consideration; Initial Deposit. Within three (3) Business Days following the Effective Date, Buyer shall deposit the Independent Consideration and the Initial Deposit with Escrow Holder by wire transfer of immediately available funds. Escrow Holder shall immediately release to Seller the full amount of the Independent Consideration. At Buyerβs discretion, Escrow Holder shall place the Deposit in one or more government insured interest-bearing accounts satisfactory to Buyer (which shall have no penalty for early withdrawal), and shall not commingle the Deposit with any funds of Escrow Holder or any other person or entity. Any interest earned on the Deposit while held by Escrow Holder shall be added to and be disbursed in the same manner as the principal portion of the Deposit. The Initial Deposit shall be refundable to Buyer until the expiration of the Due Diligence Deadline and as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement. If Buyer fails to deliver the Independent Consideration and the Initial Deposit into Escrow strictly as and when contemplated herein or if Buyer fails to deliver the βIndependent Considerationβ and the βInitial Depositβ into escrow as defined in and set forth in the Parallel Agreement, this Agreement shall automatically terminate and neither party shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder except for those obligations which by their terms expressly survive any termination of this Agreement (the "Surviving Obligations"). Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Buyer and Seller hereby agree and acknowledge that the Independent Consideration shall be paid to Seller and deemed completely nonrefundable for any reason as consideration for the rights and privileges granted to Buyer herein, including any and all rights granted to Buyer to terminate this Agreement prior to the Due Diligence Deadline.
3.2Β Β Β Β Additional Deposit. Unless Buyer terminates this Agreement in accordance with the terms of Section 4.2, then upon the expiration of the Due Diligence Deadline: (a) the Initial Deposit shall become non-refundable to Buyer except in the event of the Seller's breach or as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, and (b) within two (2) Business Days after the expiration of the Due Diligence Deadline, Buyer shall deposit the Additional Deposit with Escrow Holder by wire transfer of immediately available funds and the
-5-
Additional Deposit shall be non-refundable to Buyer except in the event of Seller's breach or as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement. The Initial Deposit and, when made, the Additional Deposit, and, if made, the Extension Deposit, are collectively referred to herein as the "Deposit" and shall include all interest which accrues thereon while held by Escrow Holder. Upon the Closing, the Deposit shall be credited to the Purchase Price. Unless Buyer terminates this Agreement in accordance with the terms of Section 4.2, then upon the expiration of the Due Diligence Deadline if Buyer thereafter fails to deliver the Additional Deposit into the Escrow Account strictly as and when contemplated herein or if Buyer fails to deliver the βAdditional Depositβ into Escrow as defined in and set forth in the Parallel Agreement, such failure shall constitute a material breach of this Agreement by Buyer and Seller shall have the right, by delivering written notice to Escrow Holder and Buyer within five (5) days after such failure, to terminate this Agreement and receive and retain the Initial Deposit as liquidated damages pursuant to Section 5.1 below, and thereafter neither party shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder except for the Surviving Obligations.
3.3Β Β Β Β Closing Cash Payment. The balance of the Purchase Price remaining after credit for the Deposit and adjustments for Buyer's share of proration, costs and other amounts expressly set forth in this Agreement shall be paid by Buyer by wire transfer of immediately available funds into Escrow on the Closing Date.
4.Β Β Β Β Conditions to Parties' Obligations.
4.1Β Β Β Β Buyer's Pre-Closing Conditions. Buyer's obligations under this Agreement shall be subject to the satisfaction of or waiver by Buyer in Buyerβs sole and absolute discretion of the following matters described below (collectively, the "Pre-Closing Conditions") in the time-frames set forth in this Section 4.1:
4.1.1Β Β Β Β Title. (a)As soon as feasible following the Effective Date, Buyer shall be given access to copies of all of the following items regarding title to the Property (it being understood that Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide such items within three (3) Business Days after the Effective Date and, in the event that Buyer has not received such items, or access thereto, by such date, the Title Objection Deadline (as hereinafter defined) shall be extended on a day-for-day basis only with respect to such item that Buyer has not received): (a)Β title commitment prepared by Fidelity National Title Insurance Company, for the Property for an ownerβs policy of title insurance in an amount equal to the Purchase Price on a Texas T-1 form (collectively, the "Title Report"), (b)Β all underlying documents evidencing exceptions to title or otherwise referred to in the Title Report to the extent such documents are readily available from the Title Company and (c) a copy of the most recently prepared survey of the Property in Sellerβs possession or control. Buyer, by giving notice to Seller on or before the date that is five (5) Business Days prior to the Due Diligence Deadline (the "Title Objection Deadline"), may object to any matter contained in the Title Reports or matter appearing on the survey (an βObjectionβ) in Buyerβs sole and absolute discretion. Buyer shall be deemed to have waived all rights to make Objections with respect to all matters shown in the Title Report and all matters that would be revealed by current, accurate ALTA survey of the Property unless Buyer delivers an Objection to Seller prior to the Title Objection Deadline. If Buyer makes any such
-6-
Objection, Seller may, by giving notice to Buyer on or before the date that is three (3) Business Days after Buyer's Objection notice, elect either to remove such Objections or not to remove such Objections. Seller shall be deemed to have elected not to remove any such Objection unless Seller elects to remove any such Objection by giving written notice to Buyer in accordance with this SectionΒ 4.1.1(a). If Seller elects to remove any such Objection, Seller shall remove the Objection on or before the Closing Date. The procurement by Seller, at its option, of written irrevocable, unconditional (subject to the payment of any fees relating thereto) commitments from the Title Company to issue the "Title Policy" (defined below) or an endorsement thereto reasonably acceptable to Buyer insuring Buyer against any Objection shall be deemed a removal thereof from title to the Property. If Seller elects (or is deemed to have elected) not to remove any such Objection, Buyer shall have the right, by giving notice to Seller and the Escrow Holder within five (5) Business Days after receipt of Sellerβs response (or the last day on which Seller could provide a response if no response is provided), either to terminate this Agreement (in which case the Deposit shall be returned to Buyer), or to withdraw such Objection and waive all rights with respect to such Objection. If Buyer does not exercise the right to terminate this Agreement in accordance with this SectionΒ 4.1.1(a), Buyer shall be deemed to have waived such Objection. In the event that Buyer terminates the Parallel Agreement pursuant to Section 4.1.1(a) of the Parallel Agreement, Buyer shall be deemed to have terminated this Agreement pursuant to this Section 4.1.1(a) and the Deposit shall be returned to Buyer. For the avoidance of doubt, the following matters shall be deemed to be βPermitted Encumbrancesβ for all purposes of this Agreement: (a) rights of tenants under unrecorded leases, as tenants only, without any right of purchase, offer or first refusal, (b) subject to the adjustments provided for herein, liens for current real estate taxes and special assessments which are not yet due and payable, (c) standard exceptions and provisions contained in the current Texas T-1 form of title insurance policy, (d) discrepancies, conflicts in boundary lines, shortages in area, encroachments and any state of facts not included on the Survey but which an update of the Survey would disclose, or which are not shown on the public records, (e) subject to the adjustments provided for herein, any service, installation, connection or maintenance charge due after Closing and charges for sewer, water, electricity, telephone, cable television or gas, (f) any title exception which is approved, deemed approved or waived by Buyer pursuant to this Section 4.1.1(a), (h) any exceptions caused by Buyer, its agents, representatives or employees, (i) such other exceptions as the Title Company shall commit to insure over without any additional cost to Buyer, whether such insurance is made available in consideration of payment, bonding, indemnity of Seller or otherwise, subject to the provisions above relating to any additional insurance and (j) easements and laws, regulations, resolutions or ordinances, including, without limitation, building, zoning and environmental protection, as to the use, occupancy, subdivision, development, conversion or redevelopment of the Property currently or hereinafter imposed by any governmental or quasi-governmental body or authority including any such easements and laws, regulations, resolutions or ordinances with respect to utilities.
(b)Β Β Β Β Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall have no obligation to cure or remove any defect or exception to title to the Property or Objection other than (i) financing liens of an ascertainable amount created by, under or through Seller, which liens Seller shall cause to be released at or prior to Closing (with Seller having the right to apply the Purchase Price or a portion thereof for such purpose), and Seller shall deliver the Property free and clear of any such
-7-
financing liens, (ii) any exceptions or encumbrances to title which are created by, under or through Seller after the date of the Title Report without Buyerβs prior consent, and (iii) any Objections which Seller has specifically agreed, in writing, to cure. Nothing whatsoever contained in this Agreement shall be deemed or construed to give Buyer any right to terminate this Agreement by reason of any lien, encumbrance, exception or other matter created or caused by Buyer or any of Buyer's affiliates, agents, consultants, contractors or representatives (collectively, "Buyer's Representatives"). The title objection, response and deemed approval procedure set forth above shall apply to any additional title matter which is first reflected upon any update of the Title Reports that was not originally reflected in such Title Reports (a "New Title Matter"), except that the review and objection period for such New Title Matter shall be the five (5) Business Day period after Buyer becomes aware of such New Title Matter (whether through an update of the Title Reports or otherwise), and Buyer shall be deemed to have waived all rights with respect to any such New Title Matter unless Buyer objects thereto in a writing delivered to Seller within such five (5) Business Day period; provided, however the Closing Date, if necessary, shall be delayed to accommodate the objection and response periods provided for above. Any delay of the Closing Date pursuant to Section 4.1.1(b) of the Parallel Agreement shall be deemed to be a delay in the Closing Date pursuant to this Section 4.1.1(b), subject in all cases to the Outside Closing Date.
4.1.2Β Β Β Β Physical Inspections. After Buyer has provided to Seller a certificate(s) of insurance evidencing commercial general liability insurance coverage for the activities of Buyer and Buyer's Representatives as required herein, Seller shall permit Buyer and Buyer's Representatives to enter upon the Property during reasonable business hours on Business Days prior to the Closing or any earlier termination of this Agreement to make and perform such non-invasive physical environmental evaluations, and other non-invasive physical inspections, investigations, tests and studies of the physical condition of the Property as Buyer may elect to make or obtain in Buyerβs sole and absolution discretion, and such other invasive physical inspections, investigations, tests and studies as may be consented to by Seller in its sole and absolute discretion subject to and in accordance with this Section 4.1.2. Buyer shall maintain, and shall ensure that Buyer's Representatives maintain, public liability insurance coverage insuring against any liability arising out of any entry, inspections, investigations, tests or studies of the Property pursuant to the provisions hereof. Such insurance coverage maintained by Buyer and Buyer's Representatives shall be in the amount of One Million DollarsΒ ($1,000,000.00) per occurrence and Two Million DollarsΒ ($2,000,000.00) aggregate for injury to or death of one or more persons in an occurrence and for damage to tangible property (including loss of use) in an occurrence. The insurance coverage maintained by Buyer shall (a)Β name Seller and Seller's property manager as additional insureds, and (b)Β contain a provision that "the insurance provided by Buyer hereunder shall be primary and non-contributing with any other insurance available to Seller." Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Buyer shall not be permitted to undertake any invasive, intrusive or destructive investigation, testing or study of the Property, including a "PhaseΒ II" environmental assessment, without in each instance first obtaining Seller's written consent thereto, which consent Seller may give, withhold or condition in Seller's sole and absolute discretion, provided that Buyer may perform customary testing for Radon at the property. Prior to any entry onto the Property (and on each and every occasion), Buyer shall deliver to Seller prior written notice (which may be via email without requirement
-8-
for secondary form of delivery), not less than twenty-fourΒ (24) hours prior to such entry, and Seller shall have the right to have a representative of Seller present to accompany Buyer or Buyer's Representatives while any inspections, investigations, tests or studies of the Property are made or performed. If requested by Seller, Buyer shall provide Seller the identity of the company or party(s) who will perform such inspections, investigations, tests or studies and the proposed scope of the inspections, investigations, tests or studies. Buyerβs right of inspection hereunder shall be subject to the provisions of Section 4.6 of this Agreement.
4.1.3Β Β Β Β Existing Property Documents. After Buyer has deposited the Initial Deposit into Escrow, Seller shall make available to Buyer and Buyer's Representatives (which may be made available on an information website or other on-line site or at the Property), all materials, data and other information, if any, in the possession of Seller or Sellerβs affiliates or property manager or leasing agent other than the Confidential Materials (as hereinafter defined) which relate exclusively to the Property, including any permits, approvals, entitlements, school impact mitigation agreements, and licenses, whether approved or in process, with any governmental authority correspondence with or notices from any governmental authorities, other development rights, studies (including all traffic, soils, geotechnical and environmental studies and reports), tests, surveys, reports, plans, agreements and authorizations relating to or affecting the Property, civil engineering, architectural and landscaping plans. Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver such information via electronic format or on a website or other on-line site and to provide such information within three (3) Business Days following the Effective Date. Further Seller shall provide or make available to Buyer within three (3) days after the Effective Date, in accordance with the foregoing, the information set forth on Exhibit K (other than the items thereon highlighted in yellow, for which Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide or make available to Buyer as promptly as possible), to the extent in the possession or control of Seller and without any cost to Seller (all documents, instruments and information pertaining to the Property and the use, management, operation or leasing thereof that are provided by Seller to Buyer or made available to Buyer shall be hereinafter referred to as the βSeller Deliveriesβ). In no event shall Seller be required to prepare or obtain any information, report, document, survey, study, report or other item for Buyer not in Seller's, its affiliates or property managerβs or leasing agentβs possession. Seller hereby acknowledges and agrees that the following are in the possession of or control of, or are reasonably available to, Seller and will be provided as required in the first sentence: monthly operating statements (year-to-date and 3-year historical); year-end financial statements, audited if available (past 3 years); general ledger (year-to-date and 3-year historical); and copies of all Leases (notwithstanding the foregoing, the Leases will not be delivered to Buyer, but may be reviewed and copied by Buyer at the property management office located at the Property, provided that upon Buyerβs request, Seller shall deliver to Buyer a sample set of no less than twenty percent (20%) of the Leases). Buyer acknowledges that much of the materials, data and other information which Seller may make available to Buyer or Buyer's Representatives in connection with Buyer's evaluation of the Property were prepared by third parties other than Seller and, in some instances, may have been prepared prior to Seller's ownership of the Property. Seller makes no representation or warranty, and hereby expressly disclaims any representation or warranty, that any of the materials, data or other information previously or hereafter delivered or made available to Buyer or Buyer's Representatives are true, accurate or complete except as expressly set forth in this Agreement.
-9-
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, in no event shall Buyer or any of Buyer's Representatives be permitted to review any of the following (collectively, the βConfidential Materialsβ): (i)Β any third party purchase inquiries or letters of intent relating to the purchase of the Property or correspondence and draft agreements with respect to the foregoing or any appraisals or any economic evaluations of the Property; (ii)Β Seller's organizational documents; (iii) Sellerβs or its property managerβs internal budgets, financial projections, cost-basis data, valuations, reports or correspondence; and (iv)Β any documents or materials that are subject to the attorney/client privilege, that constitute attorney work product, which are proprietary or that are the subject of a binding confidentiality obligation. Seller acknowledges and agrees that Buyer, in its sole and absolute discretion, and its Representatives may review and/or copy (at Buyerβs expense) at the Property during normal business hours all financial and other books and records relating solely to the Property, including without limitation the Seller Deliveries, but excluding the Confidential Materials.
4.1.4Β Β Β Β Governmental Authority and Other Inquiries. After Buyer has deposited the Initial Deposit into Escrow and prior to the Closing Date or earlier termination of this Agreement, Buyer and Buyer's Representatives shall have the right, as part of Buyer's due diligence investigation, to contact governmental authorities or quasi-governmental authorities to request documents and records, including without limitation current and historical real estate tax assessment information, zoning/building code file review letter, and police and fire reports/incident history (collectively, βDocument Requestsβ) (but not to have direct discussions relating specifically to the Property) and to make the inquiries and have the meetings set forth in clauses (a)-(c) of this Section 4.1.4 (each, an βInquiryβ), subject, in each case, to the other provisions of this Agreement. Before any Inquiry by Buyer or any of Buyer's Representatives with any governmental authority, Buyer shall provide Seller not less than twenty-fourΒ (24) hours prior written notice (which may be by email) and Seller shall have the right (but not the obligation) to be present and otherwise participate in all such inquiries, contacts, interviews and meetings. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer shall not (a) contact any consultant or other professional engaged by Seller or its representative that has been specifically identified in writing to Buyer as βprohibited from contactβ without Seller's express written consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld), (b) contact any Governmental Entity having jurisdiction over the Property without Sellerβs express written consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld) other than Document Requests, or (c) contact any member or partner of Seller, any lender or servicer with respect to any Seller's loan, or any tenant, in each case without the prior written approval of Seller which may be given or withheld in Sellerβs sole discretion. Consents under this Section may be given in writing or by e-mail (without requirement for secondary form of delivery) to Xxxxx Xxxxxxx (Telephone: 000-000-0000; E-mail: xxxxxxx@xxxxxx.xxx).
4.2Β Β Β Β Buyer Termination Right. Prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Deadline, if Buyer determines in Buyerβs sole and absolute discretion that the Property is not acceptable for any reason whatsoever (or for no reason), Buyer shall have the right to terminate this Agreement, in which event Buyer shall deliver to Seller and Escrow Holder a written notice that Buyer elects to terminate this Agreement. Buyer's failure to terminate the Agreement in writing prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Deadline shall be deemed to constitute Buyerβs waiver of such right of termination. If this Agreement is terminated by written notice to
-10-
Seller and Escrow Holder delivered prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Deadline, then (a) the Initial Deposit and Additional Deposit (to the extent made (but not the Independent Consideration)) shall be returned to Buyer, (b) Buyer shall return to Seller (or certify to Seller the destruction of) any and all materials, data and other information relating to the Property given to Buyer by or on behalf of Seller, and (c) thereafter neither party shall have any further rights or obligations under this Agreement except for the Surviving Obligations. The provisions of this Section 4.2 shall survive the Closing and any termination of this Agreement.

Buyer may request each Title Policy to be issued as an extended coverage policy and/or to have additional endorsements; however, except with respect to those Permitted Encumbrances described in subclause (i) of the definition thereof, Buyer shall be responsible to satisfy, at Buyer's sole cost, any additional requirements of Title Company to issue such extended coverage or endorsements (including, but not limited to, a current survey), and Title Company's commitment to issue such extended coverage and endorsements shall not be a Buyer's Closing Condition.

1.Β Β Β Β Transferor is not a foreign corporation, foreign partnership, foreign trust, or foreign estate (as those terms are defined in the Code and the Income Tax Regulations promulgated thereunder);

3.Β Β Β Β Transferor's U.S. tax identification number is _____________; and
4.Β Β Β Β Transferor's office address is____________________________________.
Transferor understands that this Certification may be disclosed to the Internal Revenue Service by Transferee and that any false statement contained herein could be punished by fine, imprisonment, or both.
