 7.02        Adjustment and Proration Procedures. Notwithstanding anything contained in the foregoing provisions: 







 (a)           The Final Closing Statement shall provide for a credit to the account of Seller of all cash or other deposits posted with utility companies (including, without limitation, telephone, internet, telex, heat, steam, electricity, gas and lighting) serving the Property, to the extent the same are transferable and provided such deposits remain on deposit for the benefit of Purchaser. 







 (b)           Any Property Taxes shall be prorated as of the Closing Date. If Property Taxes for 2014 have not been established prior to the Closing Date, Property Taxes for 2014 shall be prorated based on an amount equal to 105% of the 2013 Property Taxes. To the extent that the actual 2014 Property Taxes differ from the amount apportioned at Closing, the parties shall make all necessary adjustments by appropriate payments between themselves following Closing. All necessary adjustments shall be made within forty-five (45) days after the tax bill for the current year is received. Any Property Taxes disputed with governmental authorities shall be handled under Section 14.01(c). Except to the extent that Purchaser has received a credit therefor, Seller shall remain responsible for all Property Taxes accrued for periods ending prior to the Cut-off Time (whenever assessed or billed). Purchaser shall be responsible for all Property Taxes accrued for periods beginning after the Cut-off Time. Each party shall indemnify and hold the other party harmless from and against any claims arising from the failure to timely pay and discharge such taxes and assessments as required under this Section 7.02(g).

 (c)           Telephone and telex contracts and contracts for the supply of heat, steam, electricity, gas, lighting and any other utility charges shall be prorated as of the Cut-off Time, with Seller receiving a credit for each deposit as provided above, if any. Where possible, cut-off readings will be secured for all utilities on the Closing Date. As to gas, electricity and other utility charges, Seller may, on notice to Purchaser, elect to pay one or more of all of said items accrued to the date hereinabove fixed for apportionment directly to the Person entitled thereto, and to the extent Seller so elects, such item shall not be apportioned hereunder, and Seller’s obligation to pay such item directly in such case shall survive the Closing. 







 (d)           At Closing, Seller shall receive (or receive a credit in an amount equal to) all revenue (after the settlement of applicable commissions and/or costs) relating to vending machines in the Hotel up until the Cut-off Time and Purchaser shall receive a credit in the amount of any advance payments made to Seller for vending machines to the extent attributable to any period after the Cut-off Time.

Additionally, thereafter, to the extent any such outstanding amounts are paid to Purchaser or the Property, Purchaser shall, promptly upon receipt of such funds, remit the same to Seller to an address or account to be provided by Seller. 


 




    





 -33- 











    











 (f)            Purchaser shall receive a credit at Closing in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of all Deposits that shall have been received by or credited to Seller prior to the Cut-off Time on account of reservations for use or occupancy of the Property after the Cut-off Time. Any Deposits received by Seller after the Cut-off Time on confirmed reservations after the Cut-off Time will be delivered by Seller to Purchaser. For all purposes hereunder, Deposits and similar items shall be deemed earned when occupancy or use occurs or is scheduled to occur (and not when the Deposit was made). 







 (g)           The parties acknowledge that certain taxes and assessments accrue and are payable to the various local governments by any business entity operating a hotel and its related facilities. Included in those taxes and assessments may be business and occupation taxes, retail sales taxes, parking taxes, gross receipts taxes, and other special lodging or hotel taxes and assessments. For purposes of this Agreement, all of such taxes and assessments (expressly excluding taxes and assessments covered elsewhere in this Agreement or corporate franchise taxes, and federal, state and local income taxes) shall be allocated between Seller and Purchaser such that those attributable to the period prior to the Cut-off Time shall be allocable to Seller and those attributable to the period after the Cut-off Time shall be allocable to Purchaser (with the attribution of such taxes and assessments hereunder to be done in a manner consistent with the attribution under this Agreement of the applicable revenues on which such taxes and assessments may be based). Seller shall be solely responsible for payment of such taxes and assessments with respect to the period prior to the Cut-off Time, and Purchaser shall be solely responsible for payment of such taxes and assessments with respect to the period after the Cut-off Time. Seller agrees to promptly file all necessary tax returns and forms with respect to such taxes and assessments to the extent required by applicable law. Seller shall indemnify and hold Purchaser harmless from and against any claims arising from the failure to timely pay and discharge such taxes and assessments with respect to the period prior to the Cut-off Time. 







 (h)           It is expressly agreed and understood that Seller is not hereby agreeing to sell to Purchaser, and Purchaser is not hereby agreeing to purchase from Seller, any of the Accounts Receivable. All of Accounts Receivable shall be and remain the property of Seller. At the Closing, Seller shall prepare a list of its outstanding Accounts Receivable as of midnight on the date prior to the Closing, specifying the name of each account and the amount due to Seller. Purchaser shall hold any funds received by Purchaser explicitly designated as payment of such Accounts Receivable, in trust, if Purchaser actually collects any such amounts, and shall pay the monies collected in respect thereof to Seller at the end of each calendar month, accompanied by a statement showing the amount collected on each such account. Other than the foregoing, Purchaser shall have no obligation with respect to any such account, and Purchaser shall not be required to take any legal proceeding or action to effect collection on behalf of Seller. It is generally the intention of Purchaser and Seller that although all of the Accounts Receivable shall be and remain the property of Seller, if any such accounts are paid to Purchaser, then Purchaser shall collect same and remit to Seller in the manner above provided. Nothing herein contained shall be construed as requiring Purchaser to remit to Seller any funds collected by Purchaser on account of Purchaser’s accounts receivable generated from Hotel operations after the Closing, even if the person or entity paying same is also indebted to Seller. 


 




    





 -34- 











    











 (i)            Purchaser shall receive a credit for all valid outstanding certificates, coupons, vouchers or other writings entitling the holder or bearer thereof to a credit (whether in a specified dollar amount or for a specified item, such as a room night or meal) to be applied against the usual charge for rooms, meals and/or other goods or services at the Hotel issued by Seller, in an amount set forth on Exhibit M. 







 (j)            None of Seller’s insurance policies relating to the Property will be assigned to Purchaser, and Purchaser shall be responsible for arranging for its own insurance as of the Closing Date, and Seller shall be entitled to recover and retain from the providers of insurance any refunds or overpayments resulting from the early termination of any coverage provided to Seller. Accordingly, there will be no prorations for insurance. 







 7.03        Other. Such other items as are provided for in this Agreement or as are normally prorated and adjusted in the sale of a hotel shall be prorated as of the Cut-off Time. 







 7.04        Payment. Any net credit due to Seller as a result of the adjustments and prorations under Section 7.01 shall be paid to Seller in cash at the time of Closing. Any net credit due to Purchaser as a result of the adjustments and prorations under Section 7.01 shall be credited against the Purchase Price at the time of Closing. 







 7.05        Cash and Accounts. At the Closing, Seller shall transfer to Purchaser all Cash-On-Hand and Seller shall receive a credit at the Closing for such Cash-On-Hand. All Account Cash is and shall remain the property of Seller and shall either be retained by Seller at the Closing, or credited to Seller (to the extent actually acquired by Purchaser) on the Final Closing Statement. Seller shall receive a credit for any reserve fund (including, without limitation, any FF&E reserve) that Seller transfers to Purchaser at Closing. 







 7.06        Closing Statements. 







 (a)           Preparation. Each party shall cause its designated representatives to enter the Hotel only at reasonable times and without unreasonably interfering with operations, both before and after the Closing Date, for the purpose of making such inventories, examinations, and audits of the Hotel, and of the books and records of the Hotel, as they deem necessary to make the adjustments and prorations required under this Article VII, or under any other provisions of this Agreement. Based upon such inventories, examinations, and audits, at the Closing, the representatives of the parties shall jointly prepare and deliver to each party a preliminary closing statement (the “Preliminary Closing Statement”) which shall show the net amount due either to Seller or Purchaser as a result thereof, and such net amount will be added to or subtracted from the payment of the Purchase Price to be paid to Seller pursuant to Section 3.01 hereof. All items of revenue and expense shall be determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and with the Tenth Revised Edition of the Uniform Systems of Accounts for the Lodging Industry, as published by the American Hotel and Motel Association. Within ninety (90) days following the Closing Date, Seller and Purchaser shall agree on a final closing statement (the “Final Closing Statement”) setting forth the final determination of all items to be included on the Final Closing Statement; provided, however, the foregoing time period shall not apply to any items which, by their nature, cannot be finally determined within the period specified. The net amount due Seller or Purchaser, if any, by reason of adjustments to the Preliminary Closing Statement as shown in the Final Closing Statement, shall be paid in cash by the party obligated therefor within ten (10) days following the date of the Final Closing Statement. 


 




    





 -35- 











    











 (b)           Disputes. In the event the representatives of the parties are unable to reach agreement with respect to preparation of the Preliminary Closing Statement then, except as hereinafter provided, the disputed amount shall be held in a joint order Escrow, pending agreement of the parties or the determination of Ernst & Young (the “Accountant”) following Closing. Purchaser shall be required to deposit in the Escrow any additional sum of the disputed amount which it may be required to pay. Any such dispute shall survive and be subject to later resolution pursuant to this Section 7.06. In the event the representatives of the parties are unable to reach agreement with respect to either the Preliminary Closing Statement or the Final Closing Statement, the parties shall submit their dispute to the Accountant. Each party hereby represents and warrants that the Accountant does not have a direct conflict as of the date of this Agreement, although the Accountant may have performed work for Seller and/or Purchaser (or their respective Affiliates) in the past. The costs and expenses of the Accountant shall be paid by the party determined by the Accountant to be the non-prevailing party in such dispute. 







 (c)           Pro-Ration True Up. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if at any time within ninety (90) days after the date that Seller and Purchaser execute the Final Closing Statement either party discovers any proration items that pursuant to Section 7.02(a) should have been included in the Final Closing Statement but were omitted therefrom, then such items shall be adjusted in the same manner as if their existence had been known at the time of the preparation of the Final Closing Statement. 







 7.07        Survival. The provisions of this Article VII shall survive the Closing until fully performed.

 CASUALTIES AND TAKINGS 







 11.01     Casualties. If, after the Effective Date and prior to the Closing Date, any damage to the Property by reason of fire, windstorm, earthquake, hail, explosion or other casualty shall occur, Seller shall promptly give Purchaser written notice thereof, and the following shall apply: 







 (a)           If any damage to the Property shall occur after the Effective Date and prior to the Closing Date by reason of fire, windstorm, earthquake, hail, explosion or other casualty, and if the cost to repair the Hotel is greater than One Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($1,500,000) as a result of such casualty (as determined by an engineer or contractor selected by Seller), Purchaser may elect, within ten (10) Business Days after receiving Seller’s written notice, by written notice to Seller, either to: 







 (i)           terminate this Agreement by giving written notice to Seller, whereupon the Earnest Money shall be disbursed to Purchaser and all obligations between Seller and Purchaser under this Agreement will terminate except for those that expressly survive termination; or 







 (ii)          receive an assignment of all of Seller’s rights to any insurance proceeds (excluding (x) business interruption proceeds attributable to the period prior to the Closing Date, which shall be retained by Seller, and (y) any applicable deductible, which shall be, at Seller’s election, paid by Seller to Purchaser at Closing or credited against the Purchase Price) relating to such damage and acquire the Property without any other adjustment in the Purchase Price in connection therewith. 







 (b)           If the cost to repair the Hotel is less than One Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($1,500,000) as a result of such casualty (as determined by an engineer or contractor selected by Seller), then: 







 (i)           the transactions contemplated hereby shall be consummated;

 11.02     Takings. If, after the Effective Date and prior to the Closing Date, all or any portion of the Real Property is taken by eminent domain or by an act of governmental authority, Seller shall promptly give Purchaser written notice thereof, and the following shall apply: 







 (a)           If a material part of the Real Property is taken, Purchaser may, within ten (10) Business Days after receiving Seller’s written notice, by written notice to Seller, elect to terminate this Agreement. For purposes of this Section 11.02, a “material” part of the Real Property shall be deemed to have been taken if: 







 (i)           the Improvements on the Property must be materially reconfigured so as to affect at least fifteen percent (15%) of the guest rooms or square footage of the Hotel as a result of such taking; 







 (ii)          the taking materially interferes with the present use and operation of at least fifteen percent (15%) of the guest rooms or square footage of the Hotel; 







 (iii)         the taking results in the permanent elimination of the sole or any required or material means of legal ingress and/or egress from the Real Property to public roads, with no comparable, convenient legal substitute ingress and/or egress being available. 







 In the event that Purchaser shall so elect, the Earnest Money shall be disbursed to Purchaser, and all obligations between Seller and Purchaser under this Agreement will terminate except for those that expressly survive termination. 







 (b)           If a material part of the Real Property is taken but Purchaser does not elect to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 11.02(a) above, or if an immaterial part of the Real Property is taken by an act of governmental authority, neither party shall have any right to terminate this Agreement, and the parties shall nonetheless proceed to the Closing in accordance with this Agreement, without any abatement of the Purchase Price or any liability or obligation on the part of Seller by reason of such taking, provided, however, that Seller shall, at the Closing: 







 (i)           assign and turn over, and Purchaser shall be entitled to receive and keep, the proceeds of any award or other proceeds of such taking which may have been collected by Seller as a result of such taking, less any portion thereof applied to the cost of repairs made by Seller and approved by Purchaser prior to the Closing, or 







 (ii)          if no award or other proceeds shall have been collected, deliver to Purchaser an assignment of Seller’s right to any such award or other proceeds which may be payable to Seller as a result of such taking, less an amount equal to the cost of any repairs made by Seller and approved by Purchaser prior to the Closing, which amount shall be deducted from such assignment. 







 If the proceeds are paid to the holder of any mortgage or deed of trust on the Real Property and such holder refuses to release sufficient sums therefrom for the purpose of making repairs and restorations required by reason of such condemnation, then, at the Closing, Seller (at Seller’s sole option) shall either pay to Purchaser the amount of the proceeds or credit such amount against the Purchase Price.

 ADDITIONAL COVENANTS 







 14.01     Additional Covenants. In addition, the parties agree as follows: 







 (a)           Guest Baggage. All baggage of guests who are still in the Hotel as of the Cut-off Time which has been checked with or left in the care of Seller or Manager shall be inventoried, sealed, and tagged jointly by Seller and Purchaser on the Closing Date. Purchaser hereby indemnifies Seller and its Indemnitees against any Liabilities in connection with such inventoried baggage arising out of the acts of omissions of Purchaser or any of their respective Affiliates (or any of their employees or agents) after the Closing. Seller hereby indemnifies Purchaser and its Indemnitees against any Liabilities in connection with such baggage arising out of the acts or omissions of Manager, Seller or any of its Affiliates (or any of their employees or agents) prior to the Closing. The provisions of this Section 14.01(a) shall survive the Closing. 







 (b)           Safe Deposits. Immediately after the Closing, Seller shall send or cause Manager to send written notice to guests or tenants or other persons who have safe deposit boxes, advising of the sale of the Hotel to Purchaser and requesting immediate removal of the contents thereof or the removal thereof and concurrent re-deposit of such contents pursuant to new safe deposit agreements with Purchaser. Seller shall have a representative present when the boxes are opened, in the presence of a representative of Purchaser. Any property contained in the safe deposit boxes after such re-deposit shall be the responsibility of Purchaser, and Purchaser agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Seller and its Indemnitees from and against any Liabilities arising out of or with respect to such property. The provisions of this Section 14.01(b) shall survive the Closing. 


 




    





 -44- 











    











 (c)           Tax Appeal Proceedings. Seller shall be entitled to receive and retain the proceeds from any tax appeals or protests for tax fiscal years prior to the tax fiscal year in which the Closing Date occurs. In the event an application to reduce real estate taxes is filed by Purchaser for the period during which Seller was the owner of the Real Property, Seller shall be entitled to a reproration of real estate taxes upon receipt of and based upon the reduction, net of any costs incurred by Purchaser in obtaining such reduction. Seller shall continue to process any pending appeals or protests with respect to the tax fiscal year in which the Closing Date occurs, and the net proceeds from any such proceedings, after payment of attorneys’ fees and other costs associated with such process, will be prorated between the parties, when received, as of the Closing Date. The apportionment obligations in this Section 14.01(c) shall survive the Closing. 







 (d)           Books and Records. The transaction contemplated hereby includes all the books and records of Seller pertaining to the business of the Hotel. Purchaser covenants and agrees that such books and records will remain in the Hotel for examination and audit by Seller and its agents after the Closing as provided in this Section 14.01(d). Books and records not pertaining to the business of the Hotel may be removed by Seller on or before the Closing Date. Purchaser agrees to preserve all books and records, files and correspondence, for at least three (3) years after the Closing Date, and not to destroy or dispose of the same, for at least three (3) years after the Closing Date. Upon reasonable advance written notice by Seller, Purchaser agrees to provide access to Seller and its representatives, to such books, records, files and correspondence at all reasonable times during normal business hours and will cooperate and cause its manager to cooperate with Seller in accessing such records during such period. 







 (e)           Survival. To the extent required for its proper effect, and subject to Section 17.04 with respect to survival of Seller’s Representations and Purchaser’s Representations, each covenant, obligation, representation and warranty of Seller or Purchaser under this Agreement shall survive Closing or termination of this Agreement, regardless of whether this Agreement specifically provides for its survival, and shall not be deemed merged into the Deed or any other instruments of conveyance, assignment or transfer executed and delivered at Closing. 







 (f)            Publicity. Prior to Closing, all notices to third parties and all other publicity concerning the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be jointly planned and coordinated by and between Purchaser and Seller. Neither party shall act unilaterally in this regard without the prior written approval of the other; however, this approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. 


 




    





 -45- 











    











 (g)           Assignment. Neither all nor any portion of Purchaser’s interest under this Agreement may be sold, assigned, encumbered, conveyed, or otherwise transferred, whether directly or indirectly, voluntarily or involuntarily, or by operation of law or otherwise including by a transfer of interest in Purchaser (collectively, a “Transfer”), without the prior written consent of Seller, which consent may be granted or denied in Seller’s sole and absolute discretion. Any attempted Transfer without Seller’s consent shall be null and void other than as provided herein. Any request by Purchaser for Seller’s consent to a Transfer shall set forth in writing the details of the proposed Transfer, including the name, ownership, and financial condition of the prospective transferee and the financial details of the proposed Transfer. Notwithstanding any provision hereof to the contrary, Purchaser shall have the right to make a Transfer to an Affiliate without Seller’s consent but with not less than five (5) Business Days’ notice prior written to Seller, which shall include copies of all fully executed Transfer documentation, certified by Purchaser to be true, correct, and complete, and all other information which Seller may reasonably request. No Transfer, whether with or without Seller’s consent, unless and until the consummation of this transaction shall occur, shall operate to release Purchaser. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their permitted successors and assigns. 







 (h)           Hotel Reservations. Purchaser shall honor all reservations at the Hotel or for any related conference, banquet, or meeting space or any recreational facilities in connection with the Hotel made by Seller in the ordinary course of business on or prior to the Cut-off Time for periods on or after the Closing Date. The obligations of Purchaser set forth in this Section 14.01(h) shall survive the Closing. 







 (i)            Business Days. If the Closing Date or any other date described in this Agreement by which one party hereto must give notice to the other party hereto or must fulfill an obligation is not a Business Day, then such Closing Date or such other date shall be automatically extended to the next succeeding Business Day. 







 (j)            Headings. Descriptive headings are for convenience only and shall not control or affect the meaning or construction of any provision of this Agreement. 







 (k)           Interpretation. Whenever the context hereof shall so require, the singular shall include the plural, the male gender shall include the female gender and neuter and vice versa. This Agreement and any related instruments shall not be construed more strictly against one party than against the other by virtue of the fact that initial drafts were made and prepared by counsel for one of the parties, it being recognized that this Agreement and any related instruments are the product of extensive negotiations between the parties hereto and that both parties hereto have contributed substantially and materially to the final preparation of this Agreement and all related instruments. 







 (l)            Severability. In case any one or more of the provisions contained in the Agreement shall for any reason be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision hereof, and this Agreement shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein. 







 (m)          Time of Essence. Time is of the essence of each and every term, provision and covenant of this Agreement. The expiration of any period of time prescribed in this Agreement shall occur at 11:59 p.m. Central Time of the last day of the period, except as otherwise expressly set forth herein. 


 




    





 -46- 











    











 (n)           IRS Reporting Requirements. Seller and Purchaser acknowledge and agree that Section 6045(e) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 requires that notice of the sale and purchase of the Property described in this Agreement, be provided to the IRS by preparation of and filing with the IRS of IRS Form 1099-B; and further, Seller and Purchaser agree to furnish and provide to the Escrow Company and Title Company any and all information that the Escrow Company or Title Company may require in order for the Escrow Company or Title Company to (a) comply with all instructions to the IRS Form 1099-B in the preparation thereof, and (b) prepare and timely file with the IRS said IRS Form 1099-B with respect to this transaction. 







 (o)           1031 Exchange. If either party hereto elects (the “Electing Party”) to conduct a tax free exchange under Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended, then the other party hereto agrees to cooperate (the “Cooperating Party”) with the Electing Party in conducting such tax free exchange under such Section 1031 of the Code relating to this transaction. In the event of such an election, the Electing Party agrees to indemnify, defend and hold the Cooperating Party harmless from and against any and all claims, demands, causes of action, liabilities, costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of litigation, that the Cooperating Party may suffer or incur by reason of such exchange. Purchaser and Seller expressly reserve the right to assign their rights, but not their obligations, hereunder to a Qualified Intermediary as provided in IRC Reg. 1.1031(k)-1(g)(4) on or before the Closing Date. Each Cooperating Party agrees to cooperate, but at no cost, expense or risk to said Cooperating Party, and take any actions reasonably requested by the Electing Party, to cause such exchange to be consummated and to qualify as a like kind exchange under such Section 1031 of the Code, including, but not limited to, (a) permitting this Agreement to be assigned to a Qualified Intermediary and (b) conveying the Property to, or at the direction of, the Qualified Intermediary. In no event, however, shall any such exchange extend, delay or otherwise adversely affect the Closing Date and in no event shall the Cooperating Party be required to take title to any other property in connection with such exchange. The provisions of this Section 14.01(o) shall survive the Closing. All references in this paragraph to tax-free exchange under Section 1031 of the Code shall include “reverse exchanges” as set forth in Revenue Procedure 2000-37, 2000-2 C.B. 308. 







 (p)           Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which so executed shall be deemed an original, irrespective of the date of its execution and delivery and counterparts together shall constitute one and the same instrument. 







 (q)           Governing Law. This Agreement is executed pursuant to, and shall be construed under and governed exclusively by, the laws of the State of Texas. 







 (r)            Liquor Assets. Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that an Affiliate of Manager currently holds the Liquor License for the Hotel. Within ten (10) days following the Effective Date, Purchaser shall (a) notify the applicable liquor authorities of the proposed sale of the Property and issuance to Purchaser (or its designee) of new Liquor Licenses or a transfer of the Liquor Licenses at the Hotel, (b) complete an application, including all exhibits, in the form required by the applicable liquor authorities for the issuance to Purchaser (or its designee) of the temporary or permanent Liquor Licenses or transfer the existing Liquor Licenses, (c) deliver such completed application to Purchaser’s liquor license counsel, to be held and filed by such counsel as soon as legally permitted, and (d) deliver to Seller copies of the foregoing and any other notices, correspondence or other documentation sent to or received from such liquor authorities by Purchaser. Purchaser shall be responsible for all costs and expenses in connection with the issuance of the new (temporary or permanent) Liquor Licenses or the transfer of the existing Liquor Licenses, as applicable. Seller agrees, without cost to Seller, to cooperate (and cause Manager or its applicable Affiliate to cooperate) until and after the Closing Date with Purchaser (or its designee) in effectuating the issuance of the new Liquor Licenses or the transfer of the existing Liquor Licenses for the Hotel. Purchaser and Manager, by separate agreement, may enter into an agreement to provide for continued temporary management on such terms and conditions as agreed upon by Purchaser and Manager.

 (s)           Defeasance of Mortgage Loan Secured by Property. Purchaser acknowledges that the existing loan secured by a first deed of trust on the Property will be satisfied through defeasance (the “Defeasance Process”), whereby Seller, using the funds delivered to Escrow Company by Purchaser for purchase of the Property, will purchase United States Treasury securities (the “Securities”), which will be pledged to Seller’s lender in exchange for a release of the lien of the deed of trust securing the loan on the Property (the “Existing Loan”). In order to accommodate the Defeasance Process, Purchaser shall cause (a) Purchaser’s equity portion of the Purchase Price to be deposited with the Escrow Company on or before 12 noon Central Time at least three (3) Business Days before the anticipated Closing Date, and (b) all remaining proceeds for purchase of the Property to be deposited with the Escrow Company, including the funding of any new loans to be obtained by Purchaser, at least two (2) Business Days before the anticipated Closing Date. Upon Escrow Company’s receipt of all proceeds for purchase of the Property: (i) Seller will authorize a third party defeasance company to initiate purchase of the Securities to settle by the Closing Date; (ii) upon confirmation by Purchaser that all conditions to Closing have been satisfied, the Escrow Company will wire the amount needed to purchase the Securities on the Closing Date; (iii) all liens from the Existing Loan which are being released through the Defeasance Process will be released from the Property; and (iv) the Closing will occur in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. If, after the commencement of the Defeasance Process, the purchase of the Property does not close on the anticipated Closing Date as a result of a breach or default by Purchaser, then Purchaser hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Seller and its Affiliates harmless from and against any and all losses, costs, damages, expenses and liabilities that Seller incurred in connection with the Defeasance Process.

 ESCROW COMPANY DUTIES AND DISPUTES 







 16.01     Escrow Company. Seller and Purchaser hereby retain Escrow Company, and Escrow Company agrees to be retained, to act as escrow agent for the purposes set forth in this Agreement. Escrow Company agrees to undertake and perform the obligations and duties provided for in this Agreement. Except for any fee required to set up an interest-bearing account as provided for in Section 16.02 below and any fees or costs specifically allocated to either Seller or Purchaser under the terms of this Agreement, Purchaser and Seller shall equally split the reasonable fees charged by Escrow Company in conjunction with its provision of services as provided herein. 







 16.02     Escrow Funds. Escrow Company shall deposit the Earnest Money into an interest-bearing account (“Earnest Money Escrow Account”) to be maintained by Escrow Company and Escrow Company agrees to hold, invest and disburse the Earnest Money in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. 







 16.03     Termination of Escrow. Interest earned on the Earnest Money under this Agreement shall become additional Earnest Money. 







 16.04     No Third Party Rights. No term or provision of this Article XVI is intended to benefit any Person not a party hereto (including any broker), and no such other Person shall have any right or cause of action hereunder. 




  


 16.05     Disputes and Attorneys’ Fees. If there is any litigation proceeding commenced to enforce any provisions or rights arising under this Agreement, the non-prevailing party in such litigation shall pay the prevailing party all reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by the prevailing party, such fees to be reasonably determined by the applicable court. In the event of arbitration, the non prevailing party in such arbitration shall pay the prevailing party all reasonable costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by the prevailing party, such fees to be determined by the applicable arbitrator. In the event that the parties mutually agree on some other form of alternative dispute resolution, each of the parties shall bear its own costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, attorneys’ fees).

 16.08     Liability of Escrow Company. The parties agree that the duties of Escrow Company are purely administrative in nature and that Escrow Company shall not be liable for any error of judgment, fact, or law, or any act done or omitted to be done, except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Escrow Company’s determination as to whether (a) an event or condition has occurred, or been met or satisfied; (b) a provision of this Agreement has been complied with; or (c) sufficient evidence of the event or condition of compliance with the provision has been furnished to it, shall not subject it to any claim, liability, or obligation whatsoever, even if it shall be found that such determination was improper or incorrect; provided, only, that Escrow Company shall not have been guilty of gross negligence or willful misconduct in making such determination. 







 16.09     Resignation by Escrow Company. Escrow Company may resign at any time upon giving the parties hereto thirty (30) days’ prior written notice. In such event, Seller and Purchaser shall mutually select a firm, person or corporation to act as the successor escrow agent. The Escrow Company’s resignation shall not be effective until a successor agrees to act hereunder; provided, however, if no successor is appointed and acting hereunder within thirty (30) days after such notice is given, Escrow Company may pay and deliver the proceeds then held in escrow into a court of competent jurisdiction. 







 16.10     Receipt of Notice of a Dispute. If, prior to Closing, Escrow Company receives written notice from Purchaser or Seller that a dispute exists with respect to which proceedings have been commenced, Escrow Company shall retain the disputed portion of the Earnest Money, until the first to occur of the following: 







 (a)           Receipt by Escrow Company of a notice signed by Seller and Purchaser stating that the dispute has been resolved, which notice shall contain instructions to Escrow Company with respect to the disbursement or retention of amounts in the Earnest Money Escrow Account; or

SELLER AND PURCHASER AGREE THAT SELLER’S DAMAGES RESULTING FROM PURCHASER’S DEFAULT ARE DIFFICULT TO DETERMINE AND THE AMOUNT OF THE EARNEST MONEY IS A FAIR AND REASONABLE ESTIMATE OF THOSE DAMAGES.

 17.02     Purchaser’s Remedies. 


 


 (a)           If Seller fails to perform its Obligations under this Agreement in any material respect for any reason except the failure of any condition precedent to Seller’s Obligations under this Agreement, then Purchaser’s sole remedy shall be to elect one of the following: 







 (i)           to terminate this Agreement by giving Seller written notice of such election prior to or at Closing (the “Default Notice”), whereupon (x) the Escrow Company shall promptly return to Purchaser the Earnest Money and neither party shall have any further obligations, except as may be specifically set forth herein, and (y) Seller shall reimburse Purchaser for its actual, verifiable and reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in connection with the proposed purchase of the Property (not to exceed the sum of Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000.00)), 







 (ii)          to waive the default and close; or 







 (iii)         to enforce specific performance of this Agreement, provided that an action for specific performance is filed by Purchaser within thirty (30) days of the originally scheduled Closing Date. 







 In the event Purchaser fails to elect a remedy under this Section 17.02 within thirty (30) days after the earlier to occur of delivery of a Default Notice or the originally scheduled Closing Date, Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected to proceed under clause (i) above. 







 17.03     Surviving Obligations. If following Closing either party fails to perform any surviving obligations under this Agreement or if there shall have been a breach of either party’s warranties and representations under Section 5.01 or Section 5.02 in any material respect (as the same are updated as of the Closing Date pursuant to Purchaser’s Bring-Down Certificate and Seller’s Bring-Down Certificate, respectively), the non-defaulting party shall be entitled to pursue any right and remedy to which such party is entitled to in equity and at law, subject, however, to the limitations set forth in Section 17.04 hereof. 


 




    





 -52- 











    











 17.04     Duration and Claims Procedures and Limitations for Seller’s Representations. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, all representations and warranties contained in Section 5.01 and Section 5.02 of this Agreement, as modified pursuant to Seller’s Bring-Down Certificate in the case of Section 5.01 (as so modified, the “Seller’s Representations”), and Purchaser’s Bring-Down Certificate in the case of Section 5.02 (as so modified, the “Purchaser’s Representations”), shall survive the Closing until the date that is nine (9) months after the Closing Date (the “Survival Period”) and shall not merge into any of the closing documents. Seller shall not have any liability or obligation with respect to any Seller’s Representations and Purchaser shall not have any liability or obligation with respect to Purchaser’s Representations unless on or prior to the last day of the Survival Period after the Closing Date, the Person seeking indemnification under Section 5.01 or Section 5.02, respectively, shall have notified Seller or Purchaser, respectively, in writing setting forth specifically the claim being made and a detailed description and supporting documentation of the claim (such notice being a “Claims Notice”). All liabilities and obligations with respect to any breach of Seller’s Representations or Purchaser’s Representations shall lapse and be of no further force or effect after the last day of the Survival Period, except with respect to any matter contained in a Claims Notice delivered on or prior to the last day of the Survival Period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall not have any liabilities or obligations under Section 5.01 with respect to any breach of Seller’s Representations unless and until, and only to the extent that, such damages exceed Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars ($25,000) in the aggregate, and the aggregate liability of Seller under Section 5.01 with respect to all breaches of Seller’s Representations shall in no event exceed Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000) (the “Liability Cap”). Absent fraud, following Closing the rights and obligations under this Article XVII and the warranties in the Deed are the sole and exclusive rights and remedies of the parties relating to this Agreement and the Property. 







 17.05     Attorneys’ Fees. If either party shall engage the services of counsel for the purpose of enforcing any of the rights or remedies of said party hereunder or under any Closing Document (or defend itself in any proceeding brought against it by the other party), then, in addition to any relief to which said party shall otherwise be entitled, the prevailing party shall be entitled to reimbursement for its reasonable attorneys’ fees, expenses and other costs of any such proceeding. 







 17.06     Survival. The provisions of this Article XVII shall survive the Closing.
