PURCHASE
PRICE
AND OPENING OF ESCROW
4.1 Total
Purchase Price.
The
total purchase price (the “Total Purchase Price”) for the sale and purchase of
the Project is Four Million Four Hundred Seventy Five Thousand and No/100
Dollars ($4,475,000.00). At Closing, subject to the provisions of Section

hereof,
Purchaser shall pay the Total Purchase Price, in cash, by bank cashier’s check
or wire transfer, through the account of the Title Company, to Seller or as
otherwise directed by Seller in writing.
4.2 Deduction
from Purchase Price.
In the
event that Seller is a “foreign person” (as defined in Internal Revenue Code
Section 1445(f)(3) and regulations issued thereunder) or in the event that
Seller fails or refuses to deliver the non-foreign affidavit required in
Section
10.2(7)
hereof,
or in the event that Purchaser receives notice from any seller-transferor’s
agent or purchaser-transferee’s agent (each as defined in Internal Revenue Code
Section 1445(d) and the regulations issued thereunder) that, or Purchaser has
actual knowledge that, such affidavit is false, Purchaser shall deduct and
withhold from the Total Purchase Price a tax equal to ten percent (10%) thereof,
as required by Internal Revenue Code Section 1445. In the event of any such
withholding, Seller’s obligation to deliver title hereunder and to otherwise
perform all of its obligations hereunder shall not be excused or otherwise
affected. Purchaser shall remit such withheld amount to and file the required
form with the Internal Revenue Service, and in the event of any claimed
over-withholding, Seller shall be limited solely to an action against the
Internal Revenue Service for refund (under Regulation Section 1.1464-1(a)),
and
hereby waives any right of action against Purchaser
on account of such withholding. The provisions of this Section
4.2
shall
survive the Closing Date hereunder without limit as to time.

of Escrow.
Within
three (3) days after execution of this Agreement, the parties shall establish
an
escrow at the Title Company by delivering a fully executed copy of this
Agreement to Title Company. This Agreement, together with such reasonable form
of standard general escrow provisions as shall be required by the Title Company
and such additional instructions as the Title Company requires to carry out
this
Agreement, shall constitute the escrow instructions. In the event of a conflict
or inconsistency between such form instructions and this Agreement, this
Agreement shall control. The opening of escrow shall be deemed to have occurred
upon receipt by the Title Company of the Xxxxxxx Money deposit, copies of this
Agreement and such form instructions as the Title Company may require fully
executed by both Purchaser and Seller. The Title Company shall promptly notify
Purchaser and Seller of the date of the opening of the escrow.

incurred by Purchaser in connection with the Financing; all recording fees
associated with the Financing and the liens securing the same (except for
mortgage taxes which shall be the responsibility of Seller); and any other
costs
incurred by Purchaser and all other costs which Purchaser has specifically
agreed to bear in other parts of this Agreement, and (ii) Seller shall pay
any
transfer taxes, mortgage or similar taxes, and/or real estate transfer fees
incident to the delivery of the Deed and other conveyancing documents required
of Seller herein; the costs of preparing and recording the Deed and other
conveyancing documents; all fees, expenses and penalties relating to the payoff
of existing notes secured by the Project or any part thereof, and the release
of
any deed of trust liens and other liens associated therewith; the cost of
examining, insuring and, to the extent the obligation to cure is otherwise
imposed on Seller under this Agreement, curing title (if necessary) to the
Project, as provided for herein (including the cost of the premium of the
Owner’s Policy of Title Insurance (including any endorsements thereto) and the
Mortgagee Policy of Title Insurance (including any endorsements thereto)) to
be
provided hereunder; the cost of the Survey; the cost of the UCC reports; all
engineering, environmental and appraisal reports, the cost of Seller’s
attorneys’ fees; any other costs incurred by Seller; and all other costs which
Seller has specifically agreed to bear in other parts of this Agreement. Seller
and Purchaser shall share equally all escrow fees charged by the Title Company.
In the event no agreement is contained herein respecting the payment of a
particular cost or expense required to be incurred by Seller in connection
with
this Agreement, such cost or expense shall be paid by Seller. In the event
no
agreement is contained herein respecting the payment of a particular cost or
expense required to be incurred by Purchaser in connection with this Agreement,
such cost or expense shall be paid by Purchaser. Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, should this transaction fail to close for
any
reason other than Purchaser default or Seller default (in which case Purchaser’s
remedies are set forth in Paragraph 14.2), then Purchaser shall be entitled
to
recover from the Title Company the Xxxxxxx Money and recover from Seller all
of
Purchaser’s out-of-pocket expenses (which shall not exceed $20,000) incurred as
a result of Purchaser’s due diligence and preparation for closing.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, should Purchaser choose not to seek Financing
for
the initial acquisition, but rather to defer the Financing until after Closing,
then at Closing Seller agrees to pay into escrow all costs it would be otherwise
obligated to pay at Closing, including, but not limited to the premium for
the
Mortgagee Policy and related endorsements and the cost of appraisals. Upon
Financing, should the escrowed funds be insufficient to pay such amounts then
Seller shall immediately pay such additional amount as necessary. If however,
the escrowed funds are in excess of what is required then such excess shall
be
remitted to Seller as soon as possible. The terms of this Section shall survive
Closing.
10.5 Prorations.
There
shall be no prorations, credits or offsets at Closing for ad valorem taxes,
special assessments and Project operating expenses. Both Seller and Purchaser
agree that Seller is currently responsible for payment of such expenses and
shall, to the extent provided in the Lease, continue to be responsible for
such
expenses accruing against the Project for periods of time from and after the
Closing Date under the Lease.

DESTRUCTION,
DAMAGE OR CONDEMNATION
Prior

the Closing Date, risk of loss with regard to the Project and the construction,
ownership, operation, management or maintenance thereof shall be borne by
Seller. If, prior to the Closing Date, all or a material part of the Project
is
subjected to a bona fide threat of condemnation by a body having the power
of
eminent domain, or included in whole or in part in a governmental plan or
proposal which may result in the taking of all or a material part of the
Project, or is taken by eminent domain or condemnation (or a sale in lieu
thereof), or all or a significant (by which term is meant damage or destruction
where the estimated costs of restoration exceed $25,000.00) part of the Project
is damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty, Purchaser may, by written
notice to Seller, given within thirty (30) days after Purchaser’s receiving
actual notice of such plan or proposal, threat of condemnation, condemnation,
damage, destruction, or sale, elect to rescind and cancel this Agreement, and
upon such rescission and cancellation, the Title Company shall return the
Xxxxxxx Money to Purchaser and none of the parties shall have any rights,
obligations or liabilities hereunder, except as set forth herein. The Closing
Date shall be postponed, if necessary, to grant Purchaser such thirty (30)
day
period. If Purchaser does not elect so to rescind, or if less than a significant
part of the Project is damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty, this
Agreement shall remain in full force and effect, and the purchase contemplated
herein, less any property destroyed by fire or other casualty or taken by
eminent domain or condemnation, or sold in lieu thereof, shall be effected
with
no further adjustments, and the provisions of the Lease shall govern any actions
required to be taken by Purchaser and Seller in connection with such
condemnation, damage, destruction, or sale. If this Agreement is not rescinded
by Purchaser as set forth above, at such time as all or part of the Project
is
subject to a bona fide threat of condemnation as hereinabove provided, Purchaser
shall be permitted to participate in the proceedings as if Purchaser were a
party to the action.

DEFAULTS
AND REMEDIES
14.1 Seller’s
Remedies on Purchaser’s Default.
In the
event that Purchaser shall fail to consummate the purchase of the Project on
or
before the Closing Date for any reason other than termination hereof pursuant
to
a right granted to Purchaser to do so, failure of any condition set forth
herein, or breach by Seller of its representations, warranties, covenants or
agreements hereunder, then, as its sole and exclusive remedy hereunder, Seller
may terminate this Agreement and receive the Xxxxxxx Money from Title Company
whereupon neither party shall have any further obligations hereunder except
as
set forth herein. Seller agrees to accept such sum as its total liquidated
damages and relief and as its sole remedy, at law or in equity, for Purchaser’s
default hereunder, the parties having agreed that in the event of a default
hereunder by Purchaser, the actual harm to Seller will be extremely difficult
and impracticable to determine, and Seller and Purchaser agree that said
liquidated damages are not intended as a penalty.
14.2 Purchaser’s
Remedies on Seller’s Default.
In the
event Seller shall fail or refuse to fully and timely perform any of its
obligations hereunder, or shall fail or refuse to consummate the sale of the
Project for any reason not set forth in this Agreement, except where caused
solely by Purchaser’s default, then as its sole and exclusive remedies
hereunder, Purchaser may: (i) terminate this Agreement and recover from the
Title Company the Xxxxxxx Money and recover from Seller all of Purchaser’s
out-of-pocket expenses (which shall not exceed $20,000) incurred as a result
of
Purchaser’s due diligence and preparation for closing, and thereafter neither
party shall have any further obligations hereunder except as set forth herein,
or (ii) enforce specific performance of this Agreement, in Purchaser’s sole
discretion (and should Purchaser be successful in enforcing specific
performance, Seller shall be responsible
for all of Purchaser’s reasonable court costs, litigation expenses and
reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred in connection therewith, but should
Purchaser be unsuccessful in enforcing any remedy against Seller, Purchaser
shall be responsible for all of Seller’s reasonable court costs, litigation
expenses and reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred in connection therewith). In
the event Seller fails or refuses to perform any covenant or agreement herein
undertaken or fails or refuses to furnish any item or thing or permit any
inspection, then Purchaser may, at its election, either waive such compliance
or
performance by Seller and proceed to Closing, or extend the Closing Date for
such period of time (not to exceed thirty (30) days) deemed appropriate by
Purchaser in which event the substituted Closing Date shall thereafter be and
constitute the Closing Date hereunder.
14.3 Limitation
on Damages.
Notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary set forth in this Agreement,
but without in any way limiting any party’s indemnification obligations
hereunder, no party hereto shall be liable to any other party hereto for any
incidental, consequential, special, exemplary or punitive damages arising out
of
or in connection with this Agreement, regardless of whether the breaching or
defaulting party knew or should have known of the possibility of such damages,
and without regard to the nature of the claim or the underlying theory or cause
of action, and each party hereby waives its right to all such remedies and
damages.

ARTICLE
15
SPECIAL
PROVISIONS
Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein, satisfaction of the provisions of this
Article
15
shall be
a further express condition precedent to the obligations of Purchaser to close
the transaction contemplated hereby.
15.1 Intentionally
deleted.
15.2 Lease.
During
the pendency of this Agreement, Seller and Purchaser shall negotiate in good
faith to agree on the final form of the Lease incorporating those terms
specifically set forth in the letter of intent dated August 11, 2006, and upon
such other terms and in a form mutually agreeable to both parties. At Closing,
Seller and Purchaser shall execute and enter into the Lease.
The
Lease shall grant Seller a license for use of the Incidental Rights and Plans
and the Property Agreements, which license shall be coterminous with the
Lease.
15.3 Due
Diligence Materials.
To the
extent available, Seller shall deliver all due diligence materials as reasonably
requested by Purchaser within ten (10) business days.
ARTICLE
16
REVIEW
PERIOD
For
the
purposes of this Agreement, the term “Review Period” shall mean the period of
time commencing on the Effective Date, and expiring at 11:59 P.M (Austin, Texas
time) on the sixtieth (60th)
day
thereafter. During the Review Period, Purchaser may review the Survey, the
Title
Commitment, the UCC Report, and all of the documents, items, information and
materials reasonably requested by Purchaser and delivered by Seller, and,
subject to the other provisions of this Agreement, including Article 7, may
conduct soil tests, structural tests, and such other engineering and economic
feasibility tests and studies and such other inspections or investigations
with
respect to the Project, as Purchaser may desire or deem appropriate. Seller
agrees to cooperate with and assist Purchaser in the physical inspection of
the
Project and the inspection of such documents, items, information and materials,
provided that such inspection shall be conducted during normal business hours
or
at such other time as is reasonable and necessary to conduct the inspection,
and
shall not unreasonably interfere with the normal business of Seller. If, within
the Review Period, Purchaser shall, for any reason, in Purchaser’s sole and
absolute discretion, be dissatisfied with any aspect of the Project, then
Purchaser shall have the absolute and unfettered right to terminate this
Agreement by sending written notice of such termination to Seller at any time
prior to the expiration of the Review Period. In the event that Purchaser
terminates this Agreement, as provided above, the Title Company shall return
the
Xxxxxxx Money to Purchaser and Purchaser shall be entitled to recover from
Seller all of Purchaser’s out-of-pocket expenses (which shall not exceed
$20,000) incurred as a result of Purchaser’s due diligence and preparation for
closing and the parties hereto shall have no further obligations under this
Agreement, except as may be otherwise provided herein.

MISCELLANEOUS
17.1 Cooperation;
Further Documents.
(1) Each
of
the parties hereto agrees to use its reasonable efforts to take or cause to
be
taken all action, and to do or cause to be done all things necessary, proper
or
advisable under applicable Governmental Requirements, regulations or otherwise,
to consummate and to make effective the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement, including, without limitation, the timely performance of all actions
and things contemplated by this Agreement to be taken or done by each of the
parties hereto.
(2) Each
party shall reasonably cooperate with the other party in such other party’s
discharge of the obligations hereunder, which shall include making reasonably
available to the other party (but if after the Closing Date, at the other
party’s direct out-of-pocket expense), such of its personnel as have relevant
information with respect thereto.
(3) Seller
shall from time to time, at the reasonable request of Purchaser, execute and
deliver such instruments of transfer, conveyance and assignment in addition
to
those delivered contemporaneously herewith and at the Closing, and take such
other action as Purchaser may reasonably require to more effectively transfer,
convey and assign to and vest in Purchaser, and to put Purchaser in possession
of, any assets being transferred, conveyed, assigned and delivered by Seller
pursuant to this Agreement.
17.2 No
Partnership.
This
Agreement is a contract of purchase and sale only and is not intended and shall
not be construed to create any association, trust, partnership, joint venture,
agency or any other relationship between Purchaser and Seller.
17.3 Savings
Clause.
Should
any provision of this Agreement be held unenforceable or invalid under the
laws
of the United States of America or the states in which the Project is located,
or under any other applicable laws of any other jurisdiction, then the parties
hereto agree that such provision shall be deemed modified for purposes of
performance of this Agreement in such jurisdiction to the extent necessary
to
render it lawful and enforceable, or if such a modification is not possible
without materially altering the intention of the parties hereto, then such
provision shall be severed herefrom for purposes of performance of this
Agreement in such jurisdiction. The validity of the remaining provisions of
this
Agreement shall not be affected by any such modification or severance, except
that if any severance materially alters the intentions of the parties hereto
as
expressed herein (a modification being permitted only if there is no material
alteration), then the parties hereto shall use commercially reasonable efforts
to agree to appropriate equitable amendments to this Agreement in light of
such
severance.
17.4 Survival.
Except
as may otherwise be expressly set forth herein, each and every indemnification
obligation, warranty, representation, covenant and agreement of Seller and
Purchaser contained herein shall survive the execution, delivery and Closing
(if
any) of this Agreement for a period of one (1) year from and after the Closing
Date or, if no Closing shall occur, for a period of two (2) years from and
after
the date of termination of this Agreement, and shall not be merged into the
Deed
(if any) or any other document executed and delivered prior to or at the
Closing, but shall expressly survive and be binding thereafter on Seller and
Purchaser, respectively. No inspections or examinations of the Project or the
books, records, or information relative thereto by Purchaser shall diminish
or
otherwise affect Seller’s indemnification obligations, representations,
warranties, covenants and agreements relative thereto, and Purchaser may
continue to rely thereon, except that if Purchaser has actual knowledge that
a
representation or warranty of Seller is false prior to Closing, but nevertheless
agrees to close the transaction contemplated hereby, then Purchaser may not
later seek recovery from Seller on such false representation or warranty.
17
17.5 Governing
Law.
This
Agreement shall be governed by and construed and interpreted in accordance
with
the laws of the State of Florida.
17.6 Cumulative
Rights.
Except
as may otherwise be set forth herein, all rights, powers and privileges
conferred hereunder upon the parties shall be cumulative and not restrictive
of
those given by law.
17.7 No
Waiver By Conduct.
The
failure of either party to exercise any power given such party hereunder or
to
insist upon strict compliance by the other party with its
obligations hereunder
shall not, and no custom or practice of the parties at variance with the terms
hereof, shall constitute a waiver of such parties rights to demand exact
compliance with the terms hereof.
17.8 Entire
Agreement.
This
Agreement, including the exhibits, annexes and schedules attached hereto,
constitutes the entire agreement and understanding between the parties hereto
relating to the sale and purchase of the Project, and supersedes all prior
and
contemporaneous agreements and undertakings of the parties in connection
therewith. No statements, agreements, covenants, understandings,
representations, warranties or conditions not expressed in this Agreement shall
be binding upon the parties hereto, or shall be effective to interpret, change,
or restrict provisions of this Agreement, unless such is in writing, signed
by
both parties hereto and by reference made a part hereof. This Agreement may
not
be modified or amended except by a subsequent agreement in writing signed by
Seller and Purchaser.

shall not assign, transfer, or mortgage Seller’s interest in this Agreement.
Seller expressly agrees that Purchaser shall have the absolute right to assign
and transfer Purchaser’s interest in the Project and in this Agreement to any
affiliated special purpose entity without the need to obtain the consent of
Seller, and in the event of any such assignment, such assignee shall succeed
to
all the interests and rights so assigned as though such assignee had executed
this Agreement, and Purchaser shall thereafter be relieved of obligations
hereunder.

This
Agreement may be executed in several counterparts, each of which shall be deemed
an original, and all such counterparts together shall constitute one and the
same instrument.

persons and corporations and associations of every kind and character, and
the

of Agreement.

of
this Agreement shall be interpreted and construed in accordance with their
