Effective Date, Purchaser shall deliver to Heritage Title Company of Austin, Inc., 000 Xxxxxxxx
Xxxxxx, Xxxxx 0000, Xxxxxx, Xxxxx 00000 (the “Title Company”), the sum of $100,000.00 (the

(b) Nonrefundable Xxxxxxx Money. As used throughout this Agreement, the term

the Purchase Price but becomes non-refundable to Purchaser as provided in this Agreement, except in
the event of (i) a Seller default (after notice and opportunity to cure as provided in this
Agreement); (ii) the failure of any Closing Condition (as hereinafter defined) to be satisfied by
the Closing Date, as provided in this Agreement; (iii) Seller fails and/ or refuses to reasonably

Nonrefundable Xxxxxxx Money on April 8, 2010. Upon the expiration of the Feasibility Period and at
all times thereafter, all of the deposited Xxxxxxx Money shall be Nonrefundable Xxxxxxx Money.
4. Title Commitment. Within seven (7) days after the Effective Date, Seller, at
Seller’s expense, shall cause the Title Company to issue and deliver to Purchaser a Commitment for

Purchase and Sale Agreement | Page 2 |
5. Survey. Within seven (7) days after the Effective Date, Seller shall deliver to
Purchaser a current TSPS Category 1A land title survey of the Land (the “Survey”), which
shall be in a form sufficient to allow the Title Company to delete the survey exception at Closing.
Seller shall bear the costs of the Survey.
(a) Purchaser’s Title Review. Purchaser shall have until seven (7) days following the
receipt by Purchaser of the last of the Title Commitment, Title Documents and Survey (the
“Title Review Period”) in which to review such items and to provide Seller with written
notice of any objections to title which Purchaser might have. In the event Purchaser does not make
any objections to title by giving written notice to Seller within the Title Review Period,
Purchaser shall be deemed to have approved the condition of title as reflected in the Title
Commitment, Title Documents and Survey.
(b) Seller’s Curative Measures. Seller may, but shall have no obligation to, elect to
cure any title objections timely raised by Purchaser. Seller may notify Purchaser of Seller’s
intentions regarding curing title objections on or before the later of (i) a date which is within
three (3) days following the receipt of Purchaser’s written notice specifying such objections, or
(ii) April 6, 2010 (such period being referred to herein as “Seller’s Response Period”).
The failure of Seller to provide Purchaser with any written notice within Seller’s Response Period
shall be deemed to be Seller’s refusal to cure any of Purchaser’s title objections. If Seller
notifies Purchaser in writing within Seller’s Response Period of Seller’s intention to cure some or
all of Purchaser’s title objections, then it shall be Seller’s obligation, at its expense prior to
Closing, to cure those objections which are specified in Seller’s notice, and such cure shall be
Closing Condition.
(c) Purchaser’s Rights. In the event Seller notifies or is deemed to have notified
Purchaser that Seller refuses or is unwilling to cure one or more of Purchaser’s title objections,
Purchaser may terminate this Agreement by giving written notice thereof to Seller on or before
three (3) days after the earlier of (i) the end of Seller’s Response Period, or (ii) Seller’s
written notice responding to Purchaser’s title objections, whereupon the Xxxxxxx Money shall be
promptly returned to Purchaser, except any portion of the Xxxxxxx Money that has become
Nonrefundable Xxxxxxx Money shall be disbursed to Seller. The failure of Purchaser to terminate
the Agreement within such time frame shall be deemed Purchaser’s waiver of any such uncured title
objections.
(d) Permitted Exceptions. Any exceptions to title to which Purchaser does not object
within the Title Review Period, or to which Purchaser objects but are uncured by Seller and waived
by Purchaser, shall be deemed to be “Permitted Exceptions”; provided, however, that in no
event will any monetary liens securing any debt of Seller, as reflected on Schedule C of the Title
Commitment be deemed to be “Permitted Exceptions,” it being understood that Seller will be
responsible for discharging any such Schedule C monetary liens, and to the extent the same
represent liens of a definite, ascertainable amount, Purchaser shall have the right to deduct the
cost of discharging or otherwise removing any such liens from the Purchase Price if Seller refuses
or otherwise fails to discharge and remove the same at or prior to Closing.

(e) Subsequent Updates. If any subsequent updated version(s) of the Title Commitment
and/or Survey should contain exceptions that were not set forth on the original versions of the
Title Commitment and Survey reviewed by Purchaser (and were not created by Purchaser or with
Purchaser’s express, written consent), the foregoing provisions of this Section 6 shall apply, as
to such additional exceptions only, as to the updated version(s) of the Title Commitment and/or
Survey with respect to the review, objection and cure of such additional exceptions; provided,
however, all deadlines in this Section 6 shall be reduced so that Purchaser’s Title Review Period
would be four (4) days, Seller’s Response Period would be two (2) days, and Purchaser’s termination
right would last for two (2) days.

Agreement is terminated for any reason (either by Purchaser or by Seller), then Purchaser shall:

this Agreement to the contrary, the Purchaser’s Post Termination Obligations shall survive any

Purchase and Sale Agreement | Page 7 |
(regardless of any liquidated damages provisions in this Agreement) be deemed to be satisfied in
whole or in part by the delivery to Seller of all or any portion of the Xxxxxxx Money. Further,
and also notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, Purchaser will have no
obligation to satisfy the requirements set out above in clauses (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv) in the
event of a termination of this Agreement due to a default by Seller which is not cured within its
applicable cure period unless the default is in connection with Seller’s obligations related to the
UST Removal Work, in which event Purchaser will be required to repair any damage to the Property
caused by, through or under Purchaser, other than the patching and filling of a reasonable number
of holes drilled for phase 2 environmental testing within the Property. In addition, Purchaser
will have no obligation to satisfy the requirements set out above in clauses (iii) and (iv) in the
event of a termination due to a failure of a Closing Condition to occur.
(f) Seller’s Post-Termination Obligations. If this Agreement is terminated by
Purchaser for a default by Seller which is not cured within its applicable cure period, or a
failure of any Closing Condition to be satisfied as provided herein, Seller shall: (i) not be
entitled to any of the Purchaser Due Diligence Materials; (ii) execute and deliver to Purchaser an
instrument releasing Purchaser from any liability hereunder if and after Purchaser has satisfied
all of the applicable Purchaser’s Post Termination Obligations; and (iii) reimburse Purchaser for
all expenses, costs and liabilities of any kind or nature (including without limitation attorneys’
fees and court costs) incurred by Purchaser in connection with the enforcement of any of the
obligations of Seller under this Section 8(f). In addition to the foregoing, if this Agreement is
terminated for a default by Seller which is not cured within its applicable cure period, and such
default is not a default in connection with Seller’s obligations related to the UST Removal Work
resulting from circumstances caused by Purchaser’s inspections, tests or other activities on the
Property, then Seller shall also be solely responsible for the patching and filling of a reasonable
number of holes drilled for phase 2 environmental testing within the Property. The obligations of
Seller under this Section 8(f) are referred to in this Agreement collectively as the “Seller’s Post
Termination Obligations”. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, the
Seller’s Post Termination Obligations shall survive any termination of this Agreement, and the
Seller’s Post Termination Obligations shall not (regardless of any liquidated damages provisions in
this Agreement) be deemed to be satisfied in whole or in part by the return to Purchaser of all or
any portion of the Xxxxxxx Money and/ or Extension Fees.
9. Approvals.
(a) Cooperation for Obtaining Approvals. Seller acknowledges and agrees that
Purchaser may attempt to obtain additional consents, authorizations, entitlements, permits,
licenses, agreements, and approvals (collectively, the “Approvals”) as may be necessary or
desirable for use and development of the Property into a multi-story office building and parking
garage with approximately 130,000 to 140,000 square feet of gross floor area and sufficient parking for
use by Purchaser as office and laboratory space for Purchaser’s current and future business
operations (the “Project”), which may include, without limitation, site plan revisions and/
or corrections, building permits and license agreements, but which may not include any zoning
changes. Seller shall, at no material cost or expense to Seller, cooperate with and support
Purchaser in Purchaser’s pursuit of the Approvals, including (without limitation) execution and
prosecution of any and all documents in connection with any applications and updates for the
Approvals. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Purchase and Sale Agreement | Page 8 |
Purchaser shall not file any application or other
document related to the Approvals, and shall not create any encumbrance or burden on the Property
or Seller in connection with the Approvals, without the prior written consent and authorization of
Seller, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed. Any time that Purchaser wishes
to file any permit application or document related to the Property or to create any encumbrance or
burden on the Property, then Purchaser shall send written notice of such action to Seller, along
with any pertinent documentation related thereto, after which Seller shall respond to Purchaser if
Seller has any objection to the action being taken. Seller shall have a reasonable period to
review such application, permit or other documents and provide any reasonable comments thereto.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Seller will be deemed to have given its consent to
any request made by Purchaser in connection with the Approvals unless Seller notifies Purchaser
within five (5) business days after Seller’s receipt of Purchaser’s request that Seller does not
consent to such request and includes in such notice, with reasonable specificity, Seller’s
objection(s) to Purchaser’s request. Purchaser shall: (i) deliver to Seller written notice of the
filing of any applications for any Approvals within three (3) business days of the date of any such
filing; (ii) keep Seller reasonably informed on a timely basis as to any material matters which
come to Purchaser’s attention with respect to the applications for the Approvals, including without
limitation, all comments or responses received by Purchaser from the applicable governmental
authorities or any third parties; (iii) pay all expenses of any kind or nature in connection with
the applications for and/or the issuance of the Approvals (except for Seller’s incidental costs and
expenses associated with Seller’s review of the applications, Approvals and information related
thereto); (iv) not materially amend or modify any applications for the Approvals without Seller’s
prior written approval (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed); (v)
not agree to any access restrictions, construction obligations, or any other agreements or
commitments of any kind or nature which would be binding upon Seller or the Property after a
termination of this Contract without Seller’s prior written approval (such approval not to be
unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed); and (vi) use Purchaser’s commercially reasonable
efforts to obtain issuance of the Approvals as quickly as possible.
(b) Approval Period. In the event that, prior to the expiration of the Feasibility
Period, Purchaser has deposited $75,000.00 as additional Xxxxxxx Money with the Title Company
(which shall be Nonrefundable Xxxxxxx Money) and delivered a written notice to Seller stating that
Purchaser is exercising its rights under this Section 9(b), then Purchaser will have an
“Approval Period” of thirty (30) days immediately following expiration of the Feasibility
Period. Without limiting Purchaser’s other rights hereunder, if Purchaser is unable to obtain all
necessary or desired Approvals, Purchaser may terminate this Agreement by giving Seller written
notice thereof on or prior to the expiration of the Approval Period. Upon any termination of this
Agreement by Purchaser for failure to obtain one or more of the Approvals during the Approval
Period, the parties shall have no further obligations (except for those which survive termination)
to each other hereunder and the
Nonrefundable Xxxxxxx Money shall be disbursed to Seller. If Purchaser fails to give Seller
written notice terminating this Agreement prior to the expiration of the Approval Period, Purchaser
shall be deemed to have waived its right to terminate this Agreement during the Approval Period for
failure to obtain the Approvals.
(c) Purchaser’s Right to Extend the Approval Period. If Purchaser has not obtained
the Approvals but has submitted a site plan correction for the Project to the City of Austin
(together with all necessary supporting materials and documentation) on or before June 14, 2010,
Purchase and Sale Agreement | Page 9 |
then Purchaser may elect to extend the expiration of the Approval Period solely for the purpose of
obtaining the Approvals for up to three (3) periods of thirty (30) days each by, in each instance,
(i) providing Seller written notice of such extension on or prior to the then-scheduled expiration
date of the Approval Period; and (ii) delivering to the Title Company concurrently with each such
notice the cash sum of $75,000.00 as an “Extension Fee”. Each Extension Fee shall be
nonrefundable to Purchaser, shall be delivered to Seller at Closing (or upon any termination of
this Agreement except as provided below) and shall not be credited against the Purchaser Price due
at Closing; provided, however, that the Title Company shall return the Extension Fees to Purchaser
upon (i) a Seller default (after notice and opportunity to cure as provided in this Agreement);
(ii) the failure of any Closing Condition to be satisfied by the Closing Date, as provided in this
Agreement; or (iii) Seller fails and/ or refuses to reasonably consent to any application for the
Approvals.

and there is no pending or threatened governmental proceeding that would restrict, limit or
otherwise impair access to such roadways other than existing governmental ordinances and

or inability of Purchaser to obtain curb cut approvals).
(f) Parties in Possession. Except for a parking company tenant whose lease is week

Exceptions.
(g) No Unpaid Charges. As of the date of Closing, there will be no unpaid charges,
liabilities, or obligations arising from any demolition or construction activities of Seller which
could give rise to any mechanic’s or materialmen’s or other statutory lien against the Property, or
for which Purchaser shall otherwise be responsible.
(h) No Commitments. Seller has made no commitments to any governmental authority,
utility company, school board or church, civic organization, or to any religious body, or any other
organization, group or individual relating to the Property, which would impose an obligation upon
Purchaser or its successors or assigns to make any contribution or dedications of money or land to
construct, install or maintain any improvements of a public or private nature on or off any of the
Property.
(i) No Service Contracts. There are no maintenance or service contracts or other
agreements of any kind or nature affecting any portion of the Property which will survive the
Closing or which will be binding upon the Purchaser or the Property after the Closing Date.
(j) Notice of Violations. Seller has received no notice of any pending or threatened
violation of any applicable ordinances of the City of Austin or Xxxxxx County, or other applicable
law that would materially and adversely affect the Project.
(k) Purchaser’s Representations. Seller has no knowledge of any facts or
circumstances which Seller has not disclosed to Purchaser and which would reveal any breach of any
representation, warranty or covenant on the part of Purchaser under this Agreement.
If Seller, prior to Closing, becomes aware of any matter which is the subject of any
representation, warranty or covenant made by Seller under this Agreement and which would make any
such representation, warranty or covenant inaccurate, incomplete or unperformable in any material
respect, then Seller will promptly (and prior to the Closing Date) notify Purchaser in writing of
the existence of such matter. Except in the event that such matter has been created by or under
the control of Seller or is due to any act or omission of Seller, Purchaser must, within five (5)
business days after Purchaser’s receipt of Seller’s notice either (i) accept such modified
representation, warranty or covenant as Seller may then give consistent with the facts and
circumstances set out in Seller’s notice and close the purchase of the Property under this Agreement, waiving Purchaser’s
rights to object to any matters which are not covered by such modified representation, warranty or
covenant; or (ii) terminate this Agreement, as Seller’s sole and exclusive remedy (except, however,
that Purchaser will not be entitled to terminate this Agreement due to any pending or threatened
condemnation unless the condemnation would otherwise give rise to right of termination in Section
20 below, and Purchaser will not be entitled to terminate this Agreement due to any legal action,
lawsuit or other legal or administrative proceeding pending or threatened against the Property or
Seller if such action, lawsuit or proceeding will not in any way be binding on or affect the
Property or Purchaser, or if such action, lawsuit or proceeding does not give rise to a substantial
risk of financial losses in excess of $100,000.00, does not prevent Buyer’s Project or cause
substantial risk of significant delay to the commencement of Buyer’s Project beyond November 1,
2010, and Seller
Purchase and Sale Agreement | Page 11 |
has agreed to fully indemnify Purchaser from any such action, lawsuit or
proceeding). Seller hereby agrees that each of the foregoing representations and warranties shall
be deemed restated by Seller effective as of Closing, and shall survive Closing hereunder for a
period of two (2) years. In the event that any representation or warranty was or is incorrect or
breached, and is not rectified or corrected by Seller under the procedure outlined above (if
applicable), then Purchaser may, at Purchaser’s option, and as Purchaser’s sole and exclusive
remedy (all other remedies being hereby waived by Purchaser), either: (i) recover from Seller any
actual damages of Purchaser arising therefrom; or (ii) Purchaser may terminate this Agreement and
all Xxxxxxx Money (including Nonrefundable Xxxxxxx Money) and Extension Fees shall be returned to
Purchaser. All references in this Section 10 or elsewhere in this Agreement to “Seller’s
knowledge” and words of similar import shall refer to facts within the current actual knowledge of
Xxxxx X. Xxx (but nothing in this Section 10 or the remainder of this Agreement shall imply or
impose any personal liability on the part of Xxxxx X. Xxx). Seller warrants and represents
(without any limitation to such warranty and representation) that Xxxxx X. Xxx is the individual
within Seller’s organization that has the greatest personal knowledge of the condition of the
Property and of the matters set forth in this Section 10. Purchaser agrees and acknowledges that,
notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, Seller will not be in default
under this Section 10 until and unless Purchaser affords to Seller notice and opportunity to cure
under the provisions set out in Section 21(a) of this Agreement and Seller fails, during the
applicable cure period, to remedy or remove the conditions giving rise to the applicable breach of
representation or warranty under this Agreement.
11. Seller’s Covenants. Except after obtaining Purchaser’s written consent (which
will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), Seller agrees that between the
Effective Date of this Agreement and the Closing Date: (a) Seller will not enter into or grant any
liens, easements, restrictive covenants or other agreements of any kind which would survive the
Closing and which would affect title to, or obligations of, the Property; (b) Seller will not enter
into any leases, contracts or agreements of any kind or nature relating to the Property which would
survive the Closing; (c) Seller will not sell, transfer, convey, demolish, destroy, dispose of,
relinquish, amend, alter, change or modify the Property or any portion thereof, in any way, except
as required or permitted by this Agreement; (d) Seller will not use, occupy or allow the use or
occupancy of the Property in any manner which violates any applicable laws, ordinances, rules,
regulations or restrictive covenants; (e) Seller will not release, use, store or dispose and will
not allow or permit the release, discharge, use, storage or disposal of any Hazardous Material
into, onto or from the Property; (f) Seller will, upon obtaining written notice of same, thereafter
promptly notify Purchaser of any legal, political,
governmental, or administrative proceeding or moratorium instituted or proposed which might
have any effect on the Property, its value, development potential, or the rights to possession of
same; and (g) Seller will promptly notify Purchaser of any damage to or destruction of the Property
or any portion thereof (other than damage to any improvements that are subject to the UST Removal
Work or the Demolition Work, as those terms are defined hereinbelow) that materially and adversely
affects Purchaser’s ability to use and develop the Property with the Project; and (h) Seller will,
upon receiving written notice of same, thereafter promptly notify Purchaser of any studies or plans
by any governmental entity which will or may affect the Property. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
with respect to any violation of clauses (d) or (e) above by any third party that is not knowingly
allowed by Seller, Purchaser’s sole remedy for such violation shall be to treat the cure of such
violation as a Closing Condition.
Purchase and Sale Agreement | Page 12 |
12. AS-IS. Except as provide in Section 10 above, Purchaser represents and warrants
to Seller that it is relying on its own investigation and inspection of the Property and that
Purchaser will take the Property in its “AS IS, WHERE IS” condition based solely on its own
investigation, verification, and inspection. Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that neither Seller
nor any of Seller’s agents, employees, or representatives has made (and Purchaser has not relied
upon) any warranty or representation, express or implied, written or oral (except the express
warranties contained in Section 10 above, and the warranties of title contained in the Deed)
concerning the Property, or any uses to which the Property may or may not be put, including, but
not limited to, the following:
(a) The physical condition of the Property or any Improvements;
(b) The suitability of the Property or the Improvements for any intended use or development;
(c) The availability of development rights, water, wastewater, or any utility or service;
(d) The income or expenses generated, paid, or incurred in connection with the Property;
(e) The accuracy of any statements, depictions, calculations, or conditions stated or set
forth in any books, records, or brochures (including Seller’s records); and
(f) The ability of Purchaser to obtain any and all necessary Approvals for Purchaser’s
intended use and development of the Property.
Purchaser acknowledges that (i) Seller has disclosed and/ or made available for inspection and
copying to Purchaser all of the information which is set out in or disclosed by the Property
Documents; (ii) the bargaining power of Seller in the transaction evidenced by this Agreement is no
greater than the bargaining power of Purchaser; (iii) the disclaimer of warranties set out in this
Section 12 has been specifically negotiated by the Parties and is an integral part of the
transaction evidenced by this Agreement; and (iv) Seller would not have sold the Property to
Purchaser for the Purchase Price set out in this Agreement if Purchaser had not agreed to the disclaimer of
warranties set out in this Section 12.
13. Conditions to Closing. Seller covenants that it shall use commercially reasonable
efforts to complete the following prior to the dates stated below, the full completion and
satisfaction of all of which shall be conditions to closing (the “Closing Conditions”):
(a) Title Cure. If Seller notifies Purchaser in writing of Seller’s intention to cure
some or all of Purchaser’s title objections, then the cure of those objections which are specified
in Seller’s notice prior to the Closing Date shall be a Closing Condition.
(b) UST Removal Work. On or before May 10, 2010, Seller shall be responsible, at its
sole cost and expense, for (i) causing the removal of the underground storage tank described in
Purchase and Sale Agreement | Page 13 |
the Terracon Proposal for UST removal referred to in Section 7(g) above; (ii) conducting soil and
groundwater testing as recommended by Terracon; (iii) causing the removal and/or remediation of any
impacted or contaminated soils or other materials located on the Land, to the extent and only to
the extent that such removal is necessary to comply with any requirements imposed on Seller by the
Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (“TCEQ”) as a condition to issuance of a “No Further
Action” letter; (iv) restoring the Land to its current grade and condition after such removal and
remediation; (v) taking such other steps and actions as may be mutually agreed upon in writing by
both Seller and Purchaser during the Feasibility Period as appropriate to deliver a “clean” site to
Purchaser, (vi) causing TCEQ to issue a “No Further Action” letter for the Land in connection with
such removal and remediation; and (vii) causing Seller’s licensed environmental consultant to issue
a written certification to Purchaser that the foregoing work has been performed in accordance with
all Environmental Laws. Completion of the items listed in clauses (i), (ii), (iii), (iv), (v),
(vi) and (vii) in the preceding sentence is collectively referred to herein as the “UST Removal
Work”. Seller shall promptly provide Purchaser with a copy of all correspondence to or from
the TCEQ or any other regulatory authority relating to any aspect of the UST Removal Work, and all
environmental reports, studies, and testing information in connection therewith. Seller shall
notify Purchaser in advance of any planned work so that Purchaser may promptly notify its
contractor and have the opportunity to monitor the work. If any monitoring xxxxx are required to be
installed, Seller will cooperate with Purchaser to coordinate location of the xxxxx so as to not
unreasonably interfere with Purchaser’s proposed use of the Land. Upon final completion of the UST
Removal Work, Seller shall provide written notice to Purchaser of same together with reasonable
written evidence that the requirements of this Section 13(b) have been met. Purchaser shall have
the right to inspect the Land and the materials provided by Seller to review Seller’s performance
of the UST Removal Work.
If Seller has not completed the UST Removal Work and obtained the “No Further Action Letter” on or
before May 10, 2010, Seller shall have the right to request an extension of the date by which the
UST Removal Work may be completed and the “No Further Action Letter” obtained for up to
seventy-five (75) days by sending written notice of such request to Purchaser on or before May 10,
2010, together with a detailed statement describing the work that needs to occur or be performed
before the UST Removal Work can be fully and finally completed. Purchaser shall have five (5)
business days from the receipt of such request and statement to review the request and reasonably
determine whether or not the remaining work can feasibly be completed as required in this Section
13(b) within seventy-five (75) days. In the event that Purchaser’s environmental consultant
delivers to Seller, within the five (5) business day determination period, a memorandum stating in
detail the specific facts and circumstances reasonably justifying a determination that the UST
Removal Work cannot be completed within seventy-five (75) days, then Purchaser shall have the right
to disapprove Seller’s request for an extension and terminate this Agreement in which event all of
the Xxxxxxx Money (including Nonrefundable Xxxxxxx Money) and any Extension Fees shall be returned
to Purchaser. In the event that Purchaser fails to respond to Seller’s extension request with a
memorandum from Purchaser’s environmental consultant within the five (5) business day period
referenced above, then Purchaser shall be deemed to have approved Seller’s request. In the event
that Purchaser either approves Seller’s request, or is deemed to have approved Seller’s request,
then the date for completion of the UST Removal Work shall be so extended, and, if applicable, the
Closing Date will be extended accordingly.
Purchase and Sale Agreement | Page 14 |
(c) Demolition Work. In the event that, the UST Removal Work has been completed and
Purchaser, on or before a date which is the later of (i) thirty (30) days prior to the Closing
Date, or (ii) five (5) days after Purchaser has received the last of its Approvals, Purchaser (A)
sends written notice to Seller requesting that the Demolition Work (as hereinafter defined) be
performed by Seller as provided in this subsection (the “Demolition Notice”), and (B) delivers to
the Title Company as additional Xxxxxxx Money to be held is escrow as provided in this Agreement
the sum of $500,000.00 (which additional xxxxxxx money shall be Nonrefundable Xxxxxxx Money and
shall be applied to the Purchase Price due at Closing), then on or before a date which is ten (10)
days before the Closing Date, Seller shall be responsible, at its sole cost and expense, for (i)
remediating any asbestos or other Hazardous Materials present in the structures or other
improvements located on the Land in compliance with all recommendations received from Terracon;
(ii) razing and removing all structures, pavement, fixtures, surface improvements, trash, rubbish
and debris on the Land, including without limitation, removal of the slab for the existing
buildings on the Land; (iii) rough grading the Land to level conditions; and (iv) capping all
utilities at the boundary of the Land. Completion of the items listed in clauses (i), (ii), (iii)
and (iv) in the preceding sentence is collectively referred to herein as the “Demolition
Work”.
In the event the Demolition Notice is delivered by Purchaser on a date which is less than thirty
(30) days prior to the then scheduled Closing Date, then the Closing Date shall be extended to date
which is thirty (30) days after the date upon which the Demolition Notice was delivered to Seller
(the “Demolition Notice Delivery Date”). In addition, if Seller has entered into the Demolition
Contracts, has commenced the Demolition Work and has made commercially reasonable efforts to
complete the Demolition Work, but has not completed the Demolition Work on or before the date which
is thirty (30) days after the Demolition Notice Delivery Date, Seller shall have the right to
extend the date by which the Demolition Work may be completed for up to thirty (30) days and, if
Seller exercises such right, the Closing Date will be extended accordingly. Finally, if any
underground storage tank, Hazardous Materials or any other items which must be removed from the
Property under the requirements set out above with respect to the Demolition Work are discovered
under any building located on the Property, an “Unanticipated Event” will be deemed to have
occurred for purposes of this Agreement and the following shall apply: (i) Seller shall have the
right to extend the date by which the Demolition Work may be completed for up to an additional
sixty (60) days (in addition to the two 30-day periods referenced above) and if Seller exercises
such right, the Closing Date will be
extended accordingly; (ii) Seller will obtain a recommendation from Terracon as to the actions
required to remediate the effects of the Unanticipated Event; and (iii) if the additional costs
incurred or to be incurred by Seller as a result of the Unanticipated Event exceed $200,000.00,
then Seller will have the right to deliver to Purchaser written notice of such excess costs (the
“Excess Costs”) and thereafter Purchaser shall, within ten (10) days after the date of Seller’s
delivery of the notice of Excess Costs to Purchaser, deliver to Seller a written notice pursuant to
which Purchaser either (1) agrees to pay one-half (1/2) of the Excess Costs (in addition to the
Purchase Price and all other sums required to be paid to Purchaser under this Agreement), or (2)
terminates this Agreement, in which event $250,000.00 out of the Nonrefundable Xxxxxxx Money (the
“Demolition Consideration”) will be delivered to Seller notwithstanding any provision in this
Agreement to the contrary. If Purchaser fails to timely deliver the notice required to be
delivered by Purchaser under clause (ii) of the immediately preceding sentence, then Purchaser will
be deemed to have elected to pay one-half (1/2) of the Excess Costs and will thereafter be required
to pay Purchaser’s one-half of all Excess Costs as and when the Excess Costs are incurred.
Purchase and Sale Agreement | Page 15 |
In connection with performing the Demolition Work, Seller shall enter into one or more contracts
for the Demolition Work (the “Demolition Contracts”), which Demolition Contracts shall
require the contractors to maintain any and all right of way per City of Austin ordinances, perform
the Demolition Work in a good and workmanlike manner in accordance with all applicable legal
requirements, and to perform all other requirements that Seller and purchaser may agree to during
the Feasibility Period. Upon final completion of the Demolition Work, Seller shall provide
written notice to Purchaser of same, together with reasonable written evidence that the
requirements of this Section 13(c) have been met. Purchaser shall have the right to inspect the
Land and the materials provided by Seller to review Seller’s performance of the Demolition Work.
In the event that Purchaser fails to deliver the Demolition Notice and/or the $500,000 in
additional Nonrefundable Xxxxxxx Money described above in this Section 13(c), then the Purchase
Price shall be reduced by $200,000. If Seller delivers the Demolition Notice and the $500,000 in
additional Nonrefundable Xxxxxxx Money described above and Seller commences the Demolition Work but
thereafter fails to complete the Demolition Work as required herein and Purchaser elects to waive
the performance of the Demolition Work as a Closing Condition (as provided below), then the
Purchase Price shall be reduced by an amount equal to the reasonable estimate of Purchaser’s
contractor to complete the Demolition Work as required herein, and Purchaser shall accept the
Property without the Demolition Work having been done as of the date of the Closing.
(d) Termination of Existing Leases. Seller shall cause the termination of any and all
existing leases on the Property to occur on or before a date which is thirty (30) days prior to the
Closing Date as a Closing Condition.
(e) Release of Transfer Restriction. On or before May 6, 2010, Seller shall cause
Cypress V, L.L.C. to execute a release of the Transfer Restriction Agreement referenced in the
joinder below and to deliver same to the Title Company to be held in escrow and recorded if and
when Closing occurs.
(f) Curing Certain Violations of Seller’s Covenants. With respect to any violation of
clauses (d) or (e) in Section 11 above by any third party that is not knowingly allowed by Seller,
Seller shall have no obligation to cure any such violation, but the cure of such violation on or
before a date which is ten (10) days prior to the Closing Date shall be a Closing Condition.
Purchaser shall have no obligation to proceed to Closing, and (except as otherwise provided in
Section 13(c) with respect to the Demolition Consideration) Purchaser shall be entitled to a refund
of all Xxxxxxx Money (including Nonrefundable Xxxxxxx Money) and any Extension Fees (as hereinafter
defined), if the foregoing Closing Conditions are not satisfied prior to the dates established in
this Section 13. Purchaser may, as its option, waive any Closing Conditions in writing and proceed
to Closing. Purchaser’s sole and exclusive remedy for the failure of any one or more of the
Closing Conditions is the right to terminate this Agreement on the Closing Date. If Purchaser does
not deliver to Seller a written notice of termination of this Agreement on or before the Closing
Date, then Purchaser will be deemed to have waived any and all unsatisfied Closing Conditions.
Purchase and Sale Agreement | Page 16 |
14. Closing Date. Subject to satisfaction of the Closing Conditions, and subject to
any one or more extensions under Section 13(b) and/or Section 13(c) of this Agreement, the
consummation of the transaction contemplated by this Agreement (the “Closing”) shall take
place at the offices of the Title Company on the date (the “Closing Date”) that is ten (10)
days after the later of (i) expiration of the Feasibility Period; or (ii) expiration of the
Approval Period (if applicable).
15. Seller’s Duties at Closing. At Closing, Seller shall do the following:
(a) Execute, acknowledge and deliver to Purchaser a special warranty deed (the “Deed”)
conveying to Purchaser good and indefeasible title in fee simple absolute to the Real Property,
subject only to the Permitted Exceptions and with a disclaimer of warranties pursuant to which the
Real Property is conveyed by Seller to Purchaser “AS IS,” “WHERE IS,” and “WITH ALL FAULTS”;
(b) Execute, acknowledge and deliver to Purchaser an assignment, xxxx of sale and blanket
conveyance (“Assignment”) in a form reasonably acceptable to Purchaser and Seller,
conveying to Purchaser all of Seller’s right, title and interest in and to the Personal Property
and the Property Documents, with a disclaimer of warranties pursuant to which these same are
conveyed by Seller to Purchaser “AS IS,” “WHERE IS,” and “WITH ALL FAULTS”;
(c) Deliver the Escrow Agreement to Purchaser and the Title Company and the Escrowed Funds to
the Title Company;
(d) Deliver physical possession of the Property to Purchaser;
(e) Deliver to Purchaser a “non-foreign” certificate in the form prescribed by the Internal
Revenue Code and the IRS regulations thereunder; and
(f) Execute and deliver such other documents as are customarily executed by a seller in
connection with the conveyance of similar property in Xxxxxx County, Texas, including all
required closing statements, releases, affidavits, evidences of authority to execute the
documents, certificates of good standing, corporate resolutions and any other instruments
reasonably required by the Purchaser or the Title Company.
At Seller’s expense, Seller shall cause the Title Company to be committed to issue and deliver to
Purchaser an Owner Policy of Title Insurance in the full amount of the Purchase Price, insuring
Purchaser’s fee simple title to the Real Property, subject only to the Permitted Exceptions, and
otherwise conforming to the Title Commitment. Purchaser, at its expense, shall be responsible for
deleting the standard printed survey exception except as to “shortages in area” and for removing
any exception relating to the “rights of parties in possession”, and any other endorsements, if
desired by Purchaser. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall not be obligated to cause the
issuance of such title policy for any new restrictions or encumbrances identified after the
Permitted Exceptions have been determined, but in that event, Purchaser’s obligations under this
Agreement are contingent upon and subject to Section 6(e) above.
Purchase and Sale Agreement | Page 17 |
16. Purchaser’s Duties at Closing. At Closing, and contemporaneously with the
performance by Seller of its obligations hereunder at Closing, Purchaser shall do the following:
(a) Deliver to Seller the Purchase Price in cash (subject to credit for the Xxxxxxx Money);
and
(b) Execute and deliver the Escrow Agreement to Seller and the Title Company; and
(c) Execute and deliver such other documents as are customarily executed by a purchaser in
connection with the conveyance of similar property in Xxxxxx County, Texas, including all required
closing statements, releases, affidavits, evidences of authority to execute documents, certificates
of good standing, corporate resolutions, and other instruments which are reasonably required by the
Seller or the Title Company.
17. Further Cooperation. Purchaser and Seller acknowledge that it may be necessary to
execute documents other than those specifically referred to herein in order to complete the
acquisition of the Property and the other transfers and transactions contemplated under this
Agreement. Purchaser and Seller hereby agree to cooperate with each other by executing such other
documents or taking such other action as may be reasonably necessary in accordance with the intent
of the parties as evidenced by this Agreement, provided such documents do not create any additional
liability or expense for such party not contemplated by this Agreement or expressly agreed to be
incurred or paid by such party.
(a) Prorations. Ad valorem taxes and all assessments for the Property shall be
prorated to and through the Closing Date. If the Closing shall occur before the tax rate is fixed
for the then current year, the apportionment of ad valorem taxes shall be on the basis of the tax
rate of the preceding year applied to the latest assessed valuation. Subsequent to the Closing,
when the tax rate is fixed for the year in which the Closing occurs and actual ad valorem taxes become
known, Seller and Purchaser covenant and agree to adjust the proration and, if necessary, refund or
pay such sums as shall be necessary to effect such adjustment.
(b) Rollback Taxes. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 18, if,
during the past five (5) years, the Property, or any applicable portion thereof, has been
classified as “agricultural” property, “open space” property, or any other classification
authorized by law to obtain a special or low ad valorem tax rate, and the sale transaction
contemplated by this Agreement or Purchaser’s change in use of the Property following the Closing
results in the disqualification of the Property for such beneficial tax classification, then: (a)
Seller shall be entirely responsible for any so-called “rollback” taxes that shall be triggered by
reason thereof attributable to any periods prior to the Closing Date; and (b) if ad valorem taxes
for the year in which the Closing occurs shall subsequently be reassessed or otherwise adjusted by
reason of the loss of the beneficial tax classification, Seller shall be entirely responsible for
the payment of any increased ad valorem taxes resulting therefrom, it being understood and agreed
that Purchaser’s prorated shared of ad valorem
Purchase and Sale Agreement | Page 18 |
taxes for the year of Closing will continue to be
calculated and paid as though the disqualification and resulting rollback had not occurred.
(c) Survival. The provisions of this Section 18 shall survive the Closing.
19. Closing Costs. Except as otherwise provided herein, each party shall bear its own
costs and expenses, including its own attorneys’ fees.
(a) Seller shall pay for the preparation of the deed to the Real Property, the basic title
insurance premium for an owner’s policy of title insurance on the Property, the cost of discharging
any mortgage or existing liens on the Property, the cost of any tax certificates, one-half (1/2) of
any escrow or closing fee charged in connection with this Agreement, and any other closing costs
customarily paid by a seller of similar real property in Xxxxxx County, Texas.
(b) Purchaser shall pay for the cost of recording the deed, the cost of imposing any mortgage
or liens on the Property, the cost of any endorsements to the owner’s policy of title insurance
(including the survey deletion), any inspection fees charged by the Title Company, the cost of any
mortgagee’s policy of title insurance, the cost of any instruments to be recorded under the terms
of this Agreement with respect to the Property, Purchaser’s costs of inspecting the Property,
one-half (1/2) of any escrow or closing fee charged in connection with this Agreement, and any
other closing costs customarily paid by a buyer of similar real property in Xxxxxx County, Texas.
(a) If, prior to the Closing, any portion of the Property shall be condemned or threatened to
be condemned, the parties shall use good faith to cooperate with each other and resolve such
condemnation issues for the mutual benefit of both parties. If a portion of the Property shall be
condemned or threatened to be condemned that would materially and adversely affect Purchaser’s
ability to develop, construct and use the Project as established in any Approvals sought by
Purchaser (a “Material Portion”), Purchaser may terminate this Agreement by written notice thereof
to Seller upon the earlier of (i) Closing, or (ii) seven (7) days after Purchaser is notified of such
condemnation proceedings, whereupon the Xxxxxxx Money, but not the Extension Fees, shall promptly
be returned to Purchaser. In the event that condemnation proceedings are instituted or threatened
but Purchaser does not timely elect to terminate this Agreement or the condemnation proceedings are
for less than a Material Portion of the Property, the same shall not affect either party’s
obligations hereunder and Closing shall occur as scheduled herein, and Seller shall assign any
condemnation proceeds to Purchaser at Closing.
(b) If, prior to the Closing, any portion of the Property shall be damaged or destroyed by
casualty, the parties shall use good faith to cooperate with each other and resolve such casualty
issues for the mutual benefit of both parties. If a portion of the Property (other than any
improvements that are subject to the UST Removal Work or the Demolition Work) shall be so damaged
or destroyed that would materially and adversely affect Purchaser’s ability to develop, construct
and use the Project as established in any Approvals sought by Purchaser (a “Material Casualty”),
Purchaser may terminate this Agreement by written notice thereof to Seller upon the earlier of (i)
Closing, or (ii) seven (7) days after Purchaser is notified of such Material Casualty,
Purchase and Sale Agreement | Page 19 |
whereupon the Xxxxxxx Money, but not the Extension Fees, shall promptly be returned to Purchaser. In the
event that a casualty occurs but Purchaser does not timely elect to terminate this Agreement or the
casualty is not a Material Casualty, the same shall not affect either party’s obligations hereunder
and Closing shall occur as scheduled herein, and Seller shall assign any insurance proceeds to
Purchaser at Closing except for insurance proceeds which relate to any improvements that are
subject to the UST Removal Work or Demolition Work. Purchaser understands and hereby acknowledges
that no fire or other casualty affecting any improvements subject to the UST Removal Work or the
Demolition Work will give rise to any right of termination on the part of Purchaser hereunder or
any right for Purchaser to receive any assignment of insurance proceeds hereunder.
21. Default.
(a) The failure of either Purchaser or Seller to perform any obligation imposed on Purchaser
or Seller, as the case may be, within the time limits prescribed herein for such performance, or to
comply with the agreements made hereunder, which failure or compliance is not cured within fifteen
days for a non-Closing default and three (3) days for a Closing default, after notice has been
given to the defaulting party by the other party shall constitute a default under this Agreement.
(b) Except for any breach or default with respect to Seller’s warranties and representations
set forth in Section 10 and for any failure of Seller to use commercially reasonable efforts to
complete the Closing Conditions as required in Section 13 above, if Seller is in default under this
Agreement, Purchaser as its sole remedies may (i) terminate this Agreement and the Xxxxxxx Money
(including Nonrefundable Xxxxxxx Money) and any Extension Fees shall be paid to Purchaser, or (ii)
enforce Seller’s specific performance of this Agreement. With respect to any breach or default with
respect to Seller’s warranties and representations set forth in Section 10, Purchaser shall have
the remedies set forth in Section 10. With respect to any failure by Seller to use commercially
reasonable efforts to complete the Closing Conditions as required in Section 13 above, Purchaser
shall, as Purchaser’s sole and exclusive remedy for Seller’s failure to use commercially
reasonable efforts to complete the Closing Conditions as required in Section 13 above, have
the right to terminate this Agreement on or before the Closing Date and recover its actual and
reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in pursuing Purchaser’s Due Diligence Materials and the
Approvals if it elects to terminate this Agreement; provided, however, that in no event will
Purchaser have any right to recover in excess of $250,000 from Seller under the terms and
provisions of this sentence. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary,
Purchaser will not have the right to enforce specific performance of Seller’s obligations under
this Agreement or to place a lis pendens on the Property or otherwise encumber the Property in any
way until and unless Purchaser institutes, within ninety (90) days after the Closing Date an
action in a court with jurisdiction and in venue specified under this Agreement, seeking to enforce
specific performance of Seller’s obligations of this Agreement.
(c) Except for any breach or default with respect to Purchaser’s Post Termination Obligations
described in Section 8(e) or any other obligations of Purchaser under this Agreement which
expressly survive the termination of this Agreement or the Closing under this Agreement
(collectively, the “Surviving Purchaser Obligations”), if Purchaser is in default under this
Agreement, then Seller’s sole exclusive remedy shall be to terminate this Agreement, in which
Purchase and Sale Agreement | Page 20 |
event, the Xxxxxxx Money (including Nonrefundable Xxxxxxx Money) and Extension Fees shall
constitute Seller’s liquidated damages and sole remedy, except for the indemnity obligations set
forth in this Agreement which survive termination hereof. In the event of any breach or default
with respect to the Surviving Purchaser Obligations, Seller shall be entitled to exercise any
rights or remedies which may be available to Seller at law or in equity.
(d) Nothing in this Section shall limit or impair the ability of a party to recover attorney’s
fees, as provided elsewhere in this Agreement.
(e) Seller and Purchaser agree that it is difficult to determine the actual amount of damages
arising from a default, but the amount of the Xxxxxxx Money and Extension Fees is a fair estimate
of those damages which has been agreed to by the parties in a sincere effort to make the damages
certain.
22. Purchaser Representations. Purchaser, to Purchaser’s current, actual knowledge
without any investigation or inquiry represents and warrants to Seller the following:
(a) Purchaser is a duly organized and validly existing corporation under the laws of the
State of Delaware.
(b) Purchaser has, without notice to or consent or joinder of any other person or entity, the
full right, power and authority to enter into and perform this Agreement, including full right,
power and authority to purchase the Property from Seller.
(c) Purchaser’s execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement: (i) are within
Purchaser’s power and authority and have been duly authorized; and (ii) will not conflict with, or
with or without notice or the passage of time, or both, result in a breach of any of the terms and
provisions of or constitute a default under any legal requirement, indenture, mortgage, loan
agreement or instrument to which Purchaser is a party or by which Purchaser is bound.
(d) To Purchaser’s current actual knowledge, Purchaser is, and on the Closing Date will be,
financially able to consummate the purchase of the Property in the manner contemplated by this
Agreement.
(e) Purchaser has no knowledge of any facts or circumstances which Purchaser has not disclosed
to Seller and which would reveal any breach of any representation, warranty or covenant on the part
of Seller under this Agreement.
If Purchaser, prior to Closing, becomes aware of any matter which is the subject of any
representation, warranty or covenant made by Purchaser under this Agreement and which would make
any such representation, warranty or covenant inaccurate, incomplete or unperformable in any
material respect, then Purchaser will promptly (and prior to the Closing Date) notify Seller in
writing of the existence of such matter. Except in the event that such matter has been created by
or under the control of Purchaser or is due to any act or omission of Purchaser, Seller must,
within five (5) business days after Seller’s receipt of Purchaser’s notice either (i) accept such
modified representation, warranty or covenant as Purchaser may then give consistent with the facts
and
Purchase and Sale Agreement | Page 21 |
circumstances set out in Purchaser’s notice and close the purchase of the Property under this
Agreement, waiving Seller’s rights to object to any matters which are not covered by such modified
representation, warranty or covenant; or (ii) terminate this Agreement, as Seller’s sole and
exclusive remedy. Purchaser hereby agrees that each of the foregoing representations and
warranties shall be deemed restated by Purchaser effective as of Closing, and shall survive Closing
hereunder for a period of two (2) years. All references in this Section 22 or elsewhere in this
Agreement to “Purchaser’s knowledge” and words of similar import shall refer to facts within the
current actual knowledge of Xxxxxxx Case (but nothing in this Section 22 or the remainder of this
Agreement shall imply or impose any personal liability on the part of Xxxxxxx Case). Purchaser
warrants and represents (without any limitation to such warranty and representation) that Xxxxxxx
Case is the individual within Purchaser’s organization that has the greatest personal knowledge of
the condition of the Property and of the matters set forth in this Section 22.
23. Purchaser Covenants. Purchaser agrees that, between the Effective Date of this
Agreement and the Closing Date, Purchaser will not, without the prior written consent of Seller
(which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed):
(a) make any commitments to any governmental authority, utility company, school board, church
or other religious body, or any homeowners association, or any other organization, group or
individual which would be binding upon Seller or the Property after any termination of this
Agreement;
(b) enter into any leases or other possessory agreements for the Property which would be
binding on Seller or the Property after any termination of this Agreement;
(c) enter into or grant any easements, liens, encumbrances or other contracts or instruments
which would be binding upon Seller or the Property after any termination of this Agreement;
(d) alter or amend in any way which would be binding upon Seller or the Property after any
termination of this Agreement, the zoning of the Property;
(e) commence any construction activities upon or within the Property;
(f) transfer, convey, dispose of or remove any portion of the Property; or
(g) terminate or amend or purport to terminate or amend any service contract, maintenance
contract or other contract of any kind relating to the Property.
24. Broker’s Commissions. If, and only if, the Closing actually occurs and Purchaser
enters into a written construction management agreement with Xxxxx Xxxx LaSalle of Texas (the
“Broker”), Seller shall pay Broker a real estate commission in an amount determined by
separate agreement between Broker and Purchaser at Closing, subject to the terms and conditions of
such separate agreement. In the event that the commission specified in such separate agreement is
less than $560,000.00, then Purchaser and Seller acknowledge and agree that the Purchase Price due
at
Purchase and Sale Agreement | Page 22 |
closing shall be increased or reduced by the difference between $560,000.00 and the amount of
commissions due under the separate agreement. For example, if the commission amount is increased
to $600,000, then the Purchase Price under this Agreement would be increased by $40,000. Other
than the Broker, neither party to this Agreement has utilized the services of any real estate
broker, agent or salesperson in connection with this transaction, and Seller and Purchaser each
hereby agree to indemnify and defend the other party from any claims for broker commissions or
other compensation of any real estate broker, agent or salesperson claiming by, through or under
the indemnifying party. The reciprocal obligations of indemnity set forth in the preceding
sentence shall survive the Closing or any termination of this Agreement. The Title Company is
hereby authorized to pay the Broker’s real estate commission out of the sales proceeds due Seller
at Closing. The above referenced real estate sales commission will be earned only if and when the
Closing occurs under this Agreement. If this Agreement fails to close for any reason, including a
breach by either party, Seller shall have no obligation to pay to Broker the above referenced real
estate sales commission or any other compensation, costs, expenses, fees or other sums of any kind
or nature. Without limitation on the generality of the foregoing, it is expressly agreed and
understood that the Broker will not be entitled to any real estate sales commission if the parties
agree to rescind or terminate this Agreement. The Broker is not a party to this Agreement. This
Agreement may be amended or terminated without notice to or the consent of the Broker. The absence
of Broker’s signature shall not in any way affect the validity of this Agreement or any amendment
to or termination of this Agreement. Purchaser understands and hereby acknowledges that neither
the Broker nor any agent operating by, through or under the Broker has any authority to bind Seller
to any warranty, representation or covenant regarding the Property, and further acknowledges that
Purchaser has not relied upon any warranty, representation or covenant of the Broker or any agent
operating by, through or under the Broker in Purchaser’s decision to purchase the Property. The
obligations of the parties contained in this Section 24 shall survive the Closing or any
termination of this Agreement.
25. Hazardous Materials and Environmental Laws. For purposes of this Agreement, the
following terms shall have the meanings set forth below:
(a) “Hazardous Material” or “Hazardous Substance” shall mean any substance,
material, waste, pollutant, irritant, or contaminant defined, listed, or referred to in any
Environmental Law (together with any amendments thereto, regulations promulgated thereunder and all
substitutions thereof) as being either hazardous or toxic, including without limitation, petroleum,
petroleum byproducts or derivatives, and polychlorinated biphenyls.
(b) “Environmental Law” or “Environmental Laws” shall mean each and every
applicable federal, state, regional, county or municipal statute, ordinance, rule, regulation,

27. Complete Agreement; Modification. This Agreement is the entire understanding and
agreement between the parties concerning the matters set forth herein and supersedes all prior
Purchase and Sale Agreement | Page 24 |
agreements and understandings, if any, regarding the subject matter hereof. No modification of
this Agreement shall be effective unless in writing and signed by both parties.
28. Applicable Law; Venue. This Agreement is to be construed under Texas law, and
venue for any disputes hereunder shall be in Xxxxxx County, Texas.
29. Binding Effect; Assignment. This Agreement shall be binding upon, and shall inure
to the benefit of, the parties hereto and their respective heirs, legal representatives, successors
and assigns. Purchaser may assign this Agreement with the prior written consent of the Seller
(which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) provided that such
assignment is to an entity controlled by, under the control of, or in common control with Purchaser
(an “Affiliate”). Purchaser may only assign this Agreement to any third party other than
an Affiliate with the prior written consent of the Seller, which consent may be withheld,
conditioned or delayed by Seller for any reason or no reason, in Seller’s sole and absolute
discretion. No assignment of this Agreement by Purchaser (whether to an Affiliate or otherwise)
shall be valid unless and until the assignee expressly assumes all obligations of Purchaser
hereunder and Seller approves the assignment in writing. Seller may not assign this Agreement.
30. No Recordation. Seller and Purchaser hereby acknowledge that neither this
Agreement nor any memorandum, affidavit or other instrument evidencing this Agreement or relating
hereto (other than the closing documents contemplated hereunder) shall ever be recorded in the Real
Property Records of Xxxxxx County, Texas, or in any other public records. Should Purchaser ever
record or attempt to record any such instrument, then, notwithstanding any provision herein to the
contrary, such recordation or attempted recordation shall constitute a default by Purchaser
hereunder, and, in addition to the other remedies provided for herein: (i) Purchaser shall be
personally liable to Seller for any damages incurred by Seller as a result of such recordation or
attempted recordation, together with all attorney’s fees and other costs and expenses of any kind
or nature incurred by Seller as a result of such recordation or attempted recordation; and (ii)
Seller shall have the express right to terminate this Agreement by filing a notice of said termination
in the Real Property Records of Xxxxxx County, Texas.
31. Exculpation. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, it
is agreed and understood that Purchaser and Seller shall look solely to the assets of the other
party (including without limitation the Property in the case of Seller) in the event of any breach
or default by such other party under this Agreement, and not to the assets of: (a) any person or
entity which is a partner or shareholder of such other party, or which otherwise owns or holds any
ownership interest in such other party, directly or indirectly (each such partner or other holder
or owner of any interest in Seller being referred to herein as a “Subtier Owner”); (b) any person
or entity which is a partner in or otherwise owns or holds any ownership interest in any Subtier
Owner, whether directly or indirectly; (c) any person or entity serving as an officer, director,
employee or otherwise for or in such other party; or (d) any person or entity serving as an
officer, director, employee or otherwise for or in any Subtier Owner. This Agreement is executed
by one or more persons (the “Signatories”, whether one or more) of Seller and Purchaser solely in
their capacities as representatives of the Seller, Purchaser or a Subtier Owner of Seller and
Purchaser and not in their own individual capacities. Purchaser and Seller hereby release and
relinquish the Signatories from any and all personal liability for any matters or claims of any
kind which arise under or in connection with or as
Purchase and Sale Agreement | Page 25 |
a result of this Agreement. The foregoing release of liability shall be effective with respect to and shall apply to all claims against any
owners of Seller and Purchaser and any owners of any Subtier Owner regardless of whether such
claims arise as a result of any liability which the Signatories may have as owners of the Seller,
Purchaser or any Subtier Owner, or otherwise.
32. Time of Essence. Time is of the essence of this Agreement.
33. Attorneys’ Fees. Any party to this Agreement bringing suit against the other in
respect to any matters relating to this Agreement may, if successful in such suit, recover from the
non-prevailing party its costs of court and reasonable attorneys’ fees and associated legal
expenses in such suit.
34. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is illegal, invalid, or
unenforceable under present or future laws, then, and in that event, it is the intention of the
parties that the remainder of this Agreement shall not be affected thereby, and it is also the
intention of the parties that in lieu of each provision of this Agreement that is illegal, invalid,
or unenforceable, there be added as a part of this Agreement a provision as similar in terms to
such illegal, invalid, or unenforceable provision as may be possible, and shall be legal, valid,
and enforceable.
35. Waiver. Any failure by a party hereto to insist, or any election by a party not
to insist, upon strict performance by the other party of any of the terms, provisions, or
conditions of this Agreement shall not be deemed to be a waiver thereof or of any other term,
provision, or condition hereof, and such party shall have the right at any time or times thereafter
to insist upon strict performance of any and all of the terms, provisions, and conditions of this
Agreement.
36. Counterparts; Facsimile Execution. To facilitate execution, this instrument may be executed in any number of counterparts as may be convenient or necessary, and it shall not be necessary that the signatures of all parties be contained in anyone counterpart hereof. Additionally, the parties hereto hereby covenant and agree that, for purposes of facilitating the execution of this instrument: (i) the signature pages taken from separate individually executed counterparts of this instrument may be combined to form multiple fully executed counterparts; and (ii) a facsimile signature or a signature sent by electronic mail shall be deemed to be an original signature for all purposes. All executed counterparts of this instrument shall be deemed to be originals, but all such counterparts, when taken together, shall constitute one and the same agreement.
37. Time Periods. If any date for performance or the conclusion of any time period
provided for herein falls on a weekend or a legal holiday, the date for performance or the
conclusion of such time period, as the case may be, shall be deemed to be extended until the next
business day.
38. Construction. Descriptive headings used in this Agreement are for convenience
only, and are not intended to control or effect the meaning or construction of any provision of
this Agreement. Where required for proper interpretation, words used herein in the singular tense
shall include the plural, and vice versa; the masculine gender shall include the neuter and the
feminine, and vice versa. As used in this Agreement, the words “hereof,” “herein,” “hereunder” and
words of similar import shall mean and refer to this entire Agreement, and not to any particular
paragraph or subsection, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. Both parties, and their
respective counsel,
Purchase and Sale Agreement | Page 26 |
have participated in the review and negotiation of this Agreement; therefore,
this Agreement shall be construed without presumption of any rule requiring construction to be made
against the party causing same to be drafted.
39. Effective Date. Any reference herein to the “Effective Date” shall mean
the date on which a fully-executed original of this Agreement has been delivered to and receipted
by the Title Company.
40. Confidentiality. Seller and Purchaser shall keep confidential each of the
provisions of this Agreement, the Property Documents, the Purchaser Due Diligence Materials, the
Approvals and all business strategy, plans, discoveries, or marketing information in connection
herewith, except (a) if and to the extent the information is already a matter of public knowledge;
(b) such disclosures as may be necessary to each party’s broker, lender, attorney, accountant, and
other consultants (collectively, “Permitted Confidants”); or (c) such disclosures as are required
by law or by any litigation between the parties hereto. Seller and Purchaser shall also timely
require each of its Permitted Confidants to keep such information strictly confidential as well.
The foregoing duties of confidentiality shall continue until the purchase contemplated hereby is
fully completed.
