expense, at reasonable hours, the Documents, the Property, and reasonable accounting records,
contracts, and other documents or data pertaining to the ownership,
operation, or maintenance of the Property; however, in conducting its inspection Purchaser

control. Purchaser’s obligations under this Section 5 shall survive the termination and
closing of this Agreement. Purchaser shall provide upon Seller’s request a certificate of
insurance prior to any on-site inspections.
(b) Purchaser shall indemnify, defend and hold Seller harmless from all costs, damages, and
liabilities arising out of Purchaser’s inspection of the Property and the foregoing information.

General Liability Insurance, with limits of not less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) combined
single limit per occurrence and general aggregate basis, for bodily injury, death and property
damage. A certificate, evidencing same, shall be delivered to Seller prior to entry on the

of a blanket policy of insurance with a “per project, per location endorsement”. The provisions of
this subsection (b) shall survive Closing or termination.
(c) Purchaser agrees that the person(s) performing the inspection of the Property on behalf of
Purchaser shall maintain the confidentiality of any information ascertained from the Seller
regarding the Property. Purchaser shall not disseminate Documents or Information furnished to it

subsection (c) shall survive Closing or termination.
(d) For any reason Purchaser, in its sole discretion, may terminate this Agreement in its
entirety and the provisions of Section 12(b) shall apply, by delivering to Seller a written notice
of termination at any time on or before 5:30 p.m. Houston, Texas time on or before the last day of
the Inspection Period, at the address for notice specified in this Agreement.
Section 6. Title. The Inspection Period expires on the third business day after the
Execution Date for all purposes except review of title. Purchaser shall have until the close of
business on the 10th day following the Execution Date (the “Title Review
Period”) within which to object in writing to any liens, encumbrances, and other matters
reflected by the Title Commitment or Existing Survey. All such matters to which Purchaser so
objects shall be “Non-Permitted Encumbrances”; if no such objection notice is given during
the Title Review Period, all matters reflected by the Existing Survey and Title Commitment shall be
“Permitted Encumbrances”. Seller may, but shall not be obligated to, at its cost, cure,
remove or insure
around all Non-Permitted Encumbrances, and Seller shall give Purchaser written notice of its
intent thereof within three (3) days after the Title Review Period expires (the “Seller
Response Period”); however, Seller at its cost shall be obligated to cure, remove or insure
around by Closing all judgment liens, mechanic’s and
materialmen’s liens, and other monetary liens
against the Property (other than the liens for taxes and assessments which are not delinquent)
(“Required Cure Items”), whether or not Purchaser objects thereto during the Title Review
Period (but not to exceed an aggregate cost to cure, remove or insure around of $50,000.00), and in
connection therewith Seller shall have fifteen (15) days within which to cure, remove or insure
around such Required Cure Items (and the Title Review Period shall be extended for such period, but
only with respect to the Required Cure Items. If Seller does not respond, Seller shall be deemed
to have elected not to cure. If Seller does not elect to cause all of the Non-Permitted
Encumbrances to be removed, cured or insured around, and timely written notice thereof is given to
Purchaser, or Seller is deemed to have elected not to cure same (excluding those items Seller is
obligated to cure), then Purchaser may either (a) terminate this Agreement in accordance with
Section 12(b) by delivering notice to Seller within two (2) days after the end of the
Seller Response Period (in which case the Xxxxxxx Money shall be fully refunded to Purchaser), or
(b) purchase the Property subject to the Non-Permitted Encumbrances, and the Non-Permitted
Encumbrances subject to which Purchaser elects to purchase the Property shall thereafter be
Permitted Encumbrances.
Section 7. Representations, Warranties, Covenants and Conditions.
(a) Seller hereby represents and warrants to Purchaser that (i) Seller has full right, power,
and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to consummate the purchase and sale
transactions provided for herein without obtaining any further consents or approvals from, or the
taking of any other actions with respect to, any third parties; (ii) to the best of Seller’s
knowledge without independent inquiry and except as disclosed in any environmental site assessment

applicable laws, ordinances, rules and regulations relating to public health and safety and
protection of the environment; (iii) Seller has not received any written notice of any claim of any
governmental authority to the effect that the Improvements or the operation or use of the Land and
Improvements fails to comply with any governmental requirements or that any investigation has been
commenced or is contemplated respecting any such possible failure or compliance; (iv) there are no
actions, suits, claims, assessments, or proceedings pending or, to the knowledge of Seller, without
independent inquiry, threatened that could adversely affect the ownership, development,
maintenance, or operation of the Property or Seller’s ability to perform hereunder; (v) Seller has
not received any notice of, and has no other direct knowledge of, any pending or contemplated

in connection with the Property in the ordinary course of Seller’s business.

Property in the manner which Seller currently maintains them; (ii) Seller will not, without the
prior written consent of Purchaser, remove any equipment forming a material part of the Property

of any lien or security interest, and (iii) Seller will promptly notify Purchaser of any written
notices received by Seller with respect to the matters listed in 7(a) or (b) above.
If Purchaser has knowledge before Closing that any of such representations and warranties are
untrue as of the Closing and nevertheless elects to close, Purchaser waives its right to xxx for
damages as a result of such breach of the representation or warranty. If Purchaser gains knowledge
only after Closing that any of such representations and warranties are untrue in any material
respect, Purchaser shall have the right to xxx to recover any direct, actual damages (expressly
waiving any right to indirect, consequential or punitive damages) incurred by Seller’s breach of
any of the foregoing representations and warranties, up to a maximum amount of One Hundred Six
Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($106,000.00).
The terms “to the best of Seller’s knowledge” and “to the best knowledge of Seller” as used in
this Agreement mean to the actual, personal, present knowledge of Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, without duty of
inquiry. Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxx is the senior vice president, asset management and is knowledgeable
regarding the matters set forth in this Section 7(a) and (b) and the ownership and
operation of the Property and possesses experience and familiarity with the Property. Purchaser

valid and binding agreement of Seller and Purchaser, enforceable against Seller and Purchaser in
accordance with its terms.
(d) Purchaser acknowledges that Purchaser will have independently and personally inspected the
Property and that Purchaser has entered into this Agreement based upon its ability to make such
examination and inspection, and Purchaser assumes the risk that adverse matters and conditions may
not have been revealed by Purchaser’s inspections and examinations. The Property is to be sold to
and accepted by Purchaser at Closing in its then present condition, “AS IS, WITH ALL FAULTS, AND
WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY WHATSOEVER, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED,” (other than the representations and
warranties expressly set forth in this Agreement); specifically (without limiting the generality of
the foregoing), without any warranty of (i) the nature or quality of the construction, structural
design or engineering of the Improvements, (ii) the quality of the labor and materials included in
the Improvements, (iii) the soil conditions existing at the Property for any particular purpose or
developmental potential, (iv) the presence or absence of any hazardous substances or matter in or

ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS. The terms and conditions of this subsection 7 (d) shall survive
Closing and not merge with the provisions of any closing documents.
(e) Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, the representations, warranties and
covenants of this Section 7 shall survive the Closing for a period of six (6) months from
the Closing Date. If Purchaser has not provided Seller written notice of its intent to assert a

covenants within such six (6) month period, or, having given such notice Purchase fails to commence
litigation asserting such cause of action within two (2) years and one (1) day following the
Closing Date, any such claim shall be deemed waived. Except as expressly provided herein, all of
the obligations of the parties hereunder and all other provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed
to have merged into the Deed and shall be extinguished at Closing or the earlier termination of
this Agreement.
(f) Except as expressly provided in this Agreement to the contrary, and except for any claims
arising out of the express representations, warranties or covenants of Seller under this Agreement,
Purchaser for itself and its agents, affiliates, successors and assigns, hereby releases and
discharges Seller and any party related to or affiliated with Seller, and their respective
successors and assigns (the “Seller Related Parties”) from and against any claims at law or
equity with respect to (i) matters of which Purchaser had actual knowledge at the time of Closing,
or (ii) the matters were included in the Documents or Information delivered to Purchaser hereunder
and reasonably should have been discovered by Purchaser prior to the Execution Date if Purchaser
had conducted its due diligence investigation and review of such Documents and Information in a
manner at least equal to that which a reasonably prudent purchaser would have conducted in
purchasing a property similar to the Property, including, without limitation, all claims with
respect to the economic, structural, physical, operating, or environmental condition of the
Property.

finders, or other fees relative to this Agreement or the sale of the Property, and all court costs,
attorneys’ fees, and other 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. The provisions of this Section 9 shall survive
Closing or the termination of this Agreement.
Section 10. Intentionally Omitted.
Section 11. Destruction, Damage, or Taking Before Closing. If, before Closing, all or
any material part of the Land, Improvements or Personalty are destroyed or damaged, or become
subject to condemnation or eminent domain proceedings, then Seller shall promptly notify Purchaser
thereof in writing. Purchaser may elect to proceed with the Closing (subject to the other
provisions of this Agreement) by delivering written notice thereof to Seller within five business
days of receipt of Seller’s written 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 and, 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. If, within five business
days of receipt of Seller’s written notice respecting the material damage, destruction, or taking,
Purchaser notifies Seller of its intent to terminate this Agreement, then Purchaser shall be deemed
to have terminated this Agreement pursuant to Section 12(b). For the purposes of this
Section 11, damage or a taking shall be considered to be “material” if the value of the
portion of the Land, Improvements, or Personalty damaged or taken exceed $250,000 in value, or, in
the case of a taking, if the portion of the Land, Improvements, or Personalty taken are such that
they materially adversely affect the ability to use the remainder for the purposes for which they
are presently used.
Section 12. Termination and Remedies.
(a) 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 or 11, then Seller, as its sole remedy, may terminate this
Agreement by notifying Purchaser thereof, in which event Title Company shall deliver the Xxxxxxx
Money to Seller as liquidated damages (or Seller shall retain the same if theretofore delivered to
it), whereupon neither Purchaser nor Seller shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder,
except for those which survive the termination of this Agreement. In addition to the foregoing,
Seller shall also be entitled to recover all expenses, including reasonable attorney’s fees and
litigation costs, incurred in connection with recovering the Xxxxxxx Money following a breach
hereof by Purchaser.
(b) If Purchaser terminates this Agreement pursuant to Sections 5, 6 or
11, then Title Company shall return the Xxxxxxx Money, if any, to Purchaser, whereupon
neither party hereto shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder, except for those which
survive the termination of this Agreement.
(c) If Seller fails to consummate the sale of the Property under this Agreement for any reason
other than Purchaser’s failure to perform its obligations hereunder or termination hereof by
Purchaser in accordance with Section 12(b), the failure of a condition hereunder, or a
right expressly granted Seller hereunder, Purchaser shall first give Seller written notice and
seven (7) days’ time to cure such failure, and thereafter, Purchaser’s sole remedies shall be
either to (1) seek to enforce specific performance or (2) terminate this Agreement by notifying
Seller thereof, in which case Title Company shall return the Xxxxxxx Money to Purchaser and neither
party hereto shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder, except for those which survive
the termination of this Agreement.
(d) The provision for payment of liquidated damages in Section 12(a) has been included
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.
Section 13. Notices. All notices provided or permitted to be given under this
Agreement must be in writing and may be served by depositing same in the United States mail,
addressed to the party to be notified, postage prepaid and registered or certified with return
receipt requested; by delivering the same in person to such party; or by facsimile copy
transmission, or by electronic transmission of a PDF scan. Notice given in accordance herewith

consummation or accomplishment of the Exchange be a condition precedent or condition subsequent to
Seller’s obligations and covenants under this Agreement; (iii) neither Purchaser nor Seller shall
be required to acquire or hold title to any real property other than the Property for purposes of
consummating the Exchange. Neither Purchaser nor Seller shall, by this Agreement or acquiescence
to an Exchange, (1) have its rights under this Agreement, including (without limitation) those that
survive Closing, affected or diminished in any manner or (2) be responsible for compliance with or
be deemed to have warranted to the other party that the Exchange in fact complies with §1031 of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
Section 15. Assignment. Purchaser may assign Purchaser’s rights under this Agreement
to an affiliated entity, which is a corporation, limited partnership, general partnership, or

review.
Section 17. Entire Agreement. This Agreement is the entire agreement between Seller

agreement relative to the subject matter hereof shall be binding on either party unless reduced to
writing and signed by the party to be bound. All Exhibits attached hereto are incorporated herein
by this reference for all purposes.
Section 18. Rule of Construction; No Waiver. Purchaser and Seller acknowledge that
each party has reviewed this Agreement and that the rule of construction to the effect that any
ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall not be employed in the
interpretation of this Agreement or any amendments hereto. No provision of this Agreement shall be
deemed to have been waived by either party unless the waiver is in writing and signed by that

this Agreement shall be deemed or construed to waive or lessen the right of either of the parties
hereto to insist upon strict compliance of the terms of this Agreement.

revoked without further notice and shall thereafter be of no further force or effect.
Section 21. Non-Solicitation of Employees. Purchaser agrees that neither it, nor any
of its agents or representatives, will contact or approach employees of Seller or Seller’s
management company to solicit their employment with Purchaser or its agents, affiliates or
representatives, unless the prior approval of Seller has been obtained.
Section 22. Non-Disclosure Agreement. Purchaser and Seller agree that the terms of
the Agreement (including the Purchase Price) shall remain confidential and private in all respects,
and that said terms shall not be disclosed directly to anyone, except their attorneys, financial
advisors, agents, lenders, bankers, tax preparers, as required by law or court order or to other
entities who may have a bona fide need to know the terms for tax, underwriting, investing or legal
reasons. Despite the foregoing, Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that Seller (and the holders of
Seller’s ownership interests) may disclose this Agreement itself and the terms hereof in connection
with any filings made to the Securities and Exchange Commission. Purchaser and Seller agree not to
contact, or respond to requests from, any media outlet regarding the terms of the Agreement.

Agreement.
