disruption of Seller's business while still being allowed the

the SEC on behalf of Purchaser. Prior to the end of the Contingency
Period, Seller shall also provide to Purchaser's representatives a

public accountant to render an opinion on the financial statements
related to the Property; provided, however, that any information

shall notify Seller in writing of any items of deferred maintenance,

--------------------
shall use its best efforts to perform the Deferred Maintenance
prior to Closing, provided that Seller shall not be required to spend
more than $40,000 for such Deferred Maintenance. If the Deferred
Maintenance is not completed by Closing, Purchaser may, at Purchaser's
option, elect to receive a credit towards the Purchase Price in the
amount of such outstanding Deferred Maintenance, or require the
amount of such outstanding Deferred Maintenance to be held in escrow
out of the proceeds of the Purchase Price pending Seller's full
performance of the Deferred Maintenance, the form of such escrow
agreement to be negotiated by the parties in good faith before the
Closing Date.
Section 6. Title; Environmental Matters.
----------------------------
1. Title. Purchaser may, during the Contingency Period, object in
-----
writing to any liens, encumbrances, and other matters reflected by the
Title Commitment, Title Documents, UCC Search or Survey (any such
objection is herein called an "Objection Notice"). All liens and
----------------
encumbrances to which Purchaser so objects shall be "Non-Permitted
-------------
Encumbrances;" if no Objection Notice is given during the Contingency
------------
Period, all matters reflected by the Title Commitment, Title
Documents, UCC Search, or Survey, other than liens, shall be
"Permitted Encumbrances." Seller may, but shall not be obligated to,
----------------------
cure or remove the Non-Permitted Encumbrances and give Purchaser
written notice thereof within ten days after Seller's receipt of the
Objection Notice (the "Cure Period"); however Seller shall be
-----------
obligated to cure, remove or bond or insure around by Closing all
mortgages, deeds of trust, judgment liens, mechanic's and
materialmen's liens, and other liens against the Property, whether or
not Purchaser timely objects thereto. If Seller does not timely cause
all of the Non-Permitted Encumbrances to be removed, cured, or bonded
or insured around and timely written notice thereof to be given to
Purchaser, then Purchaser may either terminate this Agreement in
accordance with Section 13.(b) by delivering to Seller notice thereof
within ten days after the expiration date of the Cure Period or
purchase the Property subject to the Non-Permitted Encumbrances (other
than liens that Seller is obligated to cure, remove, or bond or insure
around), in which case such Non-Permitted Encumbrances shall be
Permitted Encumbrances. Non-delinquent taxes and matters hereafter
specifically approved in writing by Purchaser shall be Permitted
Encumbrances.
If Seller fails to cure, remove, or bond or insure around any liens
affecting the Property by Closing, Purchaser may pay such liens and deduct the
amount paid therefor from the Purchase Price. If any matters affecting title
arise between the date of the Title Commitment and Closing which are created or
caused by Seller and are not cured by Seller before Closing, then Purchaser may,
at its option, (1) terminate this Agreement by delivering
written notice thereof to Seller, in which
case, the Xxxxxxx Money shall be returned
to Purchaser and, if such title defect was
caused by Seller, Seller shall pay to
Purchaser all out-of-pocket costs incurred
by
Purchaser in connection with or under
this Agreement, its due diligence, and
other matters relating to the Property
("Purchaser's Contract Costs," which shall
--------------------------
include, without limitation, reasonable
attorneys' fees and expenses), or reduce
the Purchase Price by the amount
reasonably determined by Purchaser to be
necessary to cure such title defects and
proceed with Closing.
2. Environmental Matters. In connection with its inspections of the
---------------------
Property, Purchaser may perform environmental investigations and
audits of the Property. If any such environmental investigation or
audit reveals the presence of Hazardous Materials on, under, or about
the Property, Purchaser may terminate this Agreement in accordance
with Section 13.(b) by delivering written notice thereof to Seller on
or before the last day of the Contingency Period, in which case the
entire Xxxxxxx Money shall be returned to Purchaser.

after the Closing to the extent the Purchase Price is not adjusted in favor
of Seller under the same provisions.

accounts receivable or revenues accrued prior to the Closing Date for Seller,

month to Seller in the form received. These amounts shall specifically
include, without limitation, amounts collected from any taxing authority on
account of a successful tax contest resulting in a recovery of previously

acknowledges that following the Closing, Seller is permitted to collect
accounts receivable accrued prior to the Closing Date.

finders, or other fees relative to this Agreement or the sale of
the Property, and all court costs, attorneys' fees, and other
costs or expenses arising therefrom, and alleged to be due by
authorization of the indemnifying party. As provided for in the
Texas Real Estate License Act, Purchaser is advised to have an
abstract of title with regard to the Property examined by an
attorney of its choice, or to obtain a policy of title
insurance.
Section 12. Destruction, Damage, or Taking Before Closing. If, before
---------------------------------------------
Closing, all or any part of the Improvements or Personalty are
destroyed or damaged, or become subject to condemnation or
eminent domain proceedings, then Seller shall promptly notify
Purchaser thereof. Purchaser shall have the right to elect to
proceed with the Closing (subject to the other provisions of
this Agreement) by delivering notice thereof to Seller within
five business days of receipt of Seller's notice respecting the
damage, destruction, or taking, but Purchaser shall be entitled
to all insurance proceeds or condemnation awards payable as a
result of such damage or taking (to the extent the same may be
necessary or appropriate) Seller shall assign to Purchaser at
Closing Seller's rights to such proceeds or awards, and (in case
of damage or destruction) the Purchase Price shall be reduced by
the applicable deductible amount under Seller's insurance. If,
within five business days of receipt of Seller's notice
respecting the damage, destruction, or taking, Purchaser
notifies Seller of its intent to terminate this Agreement, or if
Purchaser gives no notice within such period, then Purchaser
shall be deemed to have terminated this Agreement pursuant to
Section 13.(b).
Section 13. Termination and Remedies.
------------------------
1. If Purchaser fails to consummate the purchase of the Property pursuant
to this Agreement for any reason other than termination hereof pursuant to a
right granted to Purchaser in Sections 5, 6, 7, 8, and 12 then Seller, as
its sole remedy, shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by
notifying Purchaser thereof, in which event Title Company shall deliver all
of the Xxxxxxx Money to Seller as liquidated damages, whereupon neither
Purchaser nor Seller shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder
except for those that survive the termination of this Agreement.
2. If Purchaser timely terminates this Agreement pursuant to Sections 5,
6, 7, 8, and 12, then Title Company shall return the Xxxxxxx Money to
Purchaser, whereupon neither party hereto shall have any further rights or
obligations hereunder, except for those that expressly survive the
termination of this Agreement.
3. If Seller fails to consummate the sale of the Property or perform its
obligations hereunder pursuant to this Agreement for any reason other than
Purchaser's failure to perform its obligations hereunder or termination
hereof by Purchaser in accordance with Section 13.(b), then Purchaser shall
have the right to, as Purchaser's sole and exclusive remedies for Seller's
default, either: terminate this Agreement by notifying Seller thereof, in
which case Title Company shall return the entire Xxxxxxx Money to Purchaser
and Seller shall pay to Purchaser all of Purchaser's Contract Costs
whereupon neither party hereto shall have any further rights or obligations
hereunder except for those that survive the termination of this Agreement;
or enforce specific performance of the obligations of Seller hereunder.
4. Seller and Purchaser hereby acknowledge and agree that they have
included the provision for payment of liquidated damages in Section 13.(a)
because, in the event of a breach by Purchaser, the actual damages to be
incurred by Seller can reasonably be expected to approximate the amount of
liquidated damages called for herein and because the actual amount of such
damages would be difficult if not impossible to measure accurately.
