	 	 	 	forfeited by tenants under Tenant Leases), service and
maintenance contracts (“Service Contracts”), warranties, guaranties, bonds,
licenses and permits, but only to the extent that such Service Contracts, warranties,
guaranties, bonds, licenses and permits are assignable by Seller without any necessary
third party consent, or to the extent that all necessary third party consents to such
assignments have been obtained (provided that Seller shall not be obligated to obtain
such third party consents); and
	 
	 	(d)	 	To the extent assignable at no cost to Seller, all intangible personal
property, if any, owned by Seller and related to the Land and the Improvements,
including, without limitation: the name “Hidden Lake Apartments”.

	2.	 	CONTRACT SALES PRICE. The total purchase price for the Property (the “Sales
Price”) shall be THIRTY TWO MILLION AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($32,000,000.00), payable in cash
at Closing. Payment in cash means payment by wire transfer of immediately available federal
funds (“Immediately Available Funds”).
	 
	3.	 	EARNEST MONEY. Within two (2) Business Days (as hereinafter defined) of the
Effective Date, Buyer shall deliver to LandAmerica Title Company, 8201 Preston Road, Suite
280, Dallas, Texas 75225, Attention: Debbie S. Moore (Phone: (214) 368-3695, the “Title
Company”), as escrow agent, ONE HUNDRED FIFTY THOUSAND AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($150,000.00)
(by Immediately Available Funds) as earnest money (the “Initial Earnest Money”), which
funds shall be deposited and held by the Title Company in an interest bearing account, and
Buyer shall provide such information, including its federal identification number, as is
necessary to establish such account. Upon the closing of that certain Contract of Sale dated
as of April ___, 2006, by and between Buyer and TR Walker Ranch Partners, Ltd., a Texas
limited partnership, Buyer shall place into escrow with the Title Company an additional amount
equal to ONE HUNDRED FIFTY THOUSAND AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($150,000.00) as additional earnest
money (the “Additional Earnest Money”). To the extent delivered by Buyer, the Initial
Earnest Money and the Additional Earnest Money, together with any interest thereon, are
collectively referred to as the “Earnest Money”. If Buyer does not timely deliver the
Initial Earnest Money as provided in this Section 3, this Contract shall be null and
void, and neither party shall have any rights or obligations hereunder. If Buyer has not
otherwise terminated this Contract in accordance with the terms hereof, Buyer’s failure to
timely deliver the Additional Earnest Money shall constitute a default by Buyer. If the
transaction contemplated by this Contract is closed, then the Earnest Money will be applied in
payment of the Sales Price to be paid at Closing. In the event the transaction is not closed,
then the Title Company shall disburse the Earnest Money in accordance with the provisions of
this Contract.
	 
	4.	 	CLOSING.

	 	(a)	 	The closing of the sale of the Property to Buyer (the “Closing”) shall
take place at the Title Company on the date (the “Closing Date”) which is
thirty (30) days after Buyer’s receipt of certificates of occupancy (“New Buildings
CO”) for the four new buildings currently under construction on the Property
(collectively, “New Buildings”) in the approximate locations depicted on
Exhibit H attached hereto; provided, however, the Closing Date shall not be
later than December 31, 2006. If the New Buildings CO has not been obtained by
December 1, 2006, Buyer shall have the option to either (i) waive the requirement of
the New Buildings CO and proceed to Closing with no reduction of the Purchase Price or
(ii) terminate this Contract, whereupon the Earnest Money shall be returned to Buyer
and neither party shall have any further obligations except those which expressly
survive the termination of this Contract. Buyer shall have a one-time right
to

the Closing Date to a date not later than sixty (60) days after Buyer’s receipt of the
New Buildings CO, but in no event later than December 31, 2006, by (i) notifying Seller

bearing account. Except as expressly provided in this Contract, the Extension Fee
shall be non-refundable to Buyer and shall be unconditionally earned by Seller, as
compensation to Seller for granting the extension of the Closing Date; provided,
however, the Extension Fee shall be applied to the Sales Price at Closing. If Buyer
does not deliver the written notice and the Extension Fee in the manner and within the
time period required above, then Buyer shall have waived its right to extend the
Closing Date.

	 	 	 	related to the Owner’s Title Policy (except the
cost of any Seller’s Curative Endorsements), including the modification of the survey
exception, the cost of any mortgagee policy of title insurance (including
endorsements), 1/2 of any escrow fee; Buyer’s attorneys’ fees; and other expenses
stipulated to be paid by Buyer under other provisions of this Contract.
	 
	 	(e)	 	Assessments, current taxes, rents and maintenance fees will be prorated as of
the Closing Date; provided, however, no prorations will be made for delinquent rents
existing as of the Closing. Proration of taxes will be made on the basis of (i) the
assessed value of the Land and Improvements for the year of Closing, if known, or the
assessed value of the Land and Improvements for the year before Closing, if such value
is not known, multiplied by (ii) the tax rates for the year of Closing, if known, or
the rates for the year before Closing, if not known, with a subsequent cash adjustment
of such proration to be made between Seller and Buyer, if necessary, within 30 days of
when actual tax figures are available. If any such charges, expenses, and income other
than taxes are unavailable at the Closing Date, then a readjustment of these items
shall be made within 30 days after the Closing. With respect to any delinquent
rentals, Buyer will make a reasonable attempt for 3 months following Closing (but shall
not be obligated) to collect the same for Seller’s benefit after the Closing in the
usual course of the operation of the Property and such collection, if any, will be
remitted to Seller promptly upon receipt by Buyer. Nothing contained herein shall
operate to require Buyer to institute any lawsuit or other collection procedure to
collect such delinquent rentals or to prohibit Seller from any such collection. Any
sums received by Buyer from any tenants owing delinquent rentals will be applied first
to the current portion of such tenant’s rent, then to any delinquent rentals owed with
respect to the period following Closing, and then (and only then) to delinquent rentals
owed with respect to the period before Closing. Buyer additionally agrees to pay or
reimburse all usual and customary finder’s fees, commissions and the like payable with
respect to any Tenant Leases that (1) are executed after the Effective Date and prior
to the Closing Date and (2) pursuant to which the Tenant takes occupancy of its unit on
or after the expiration of the Feasibility Period. At the Closing, Seller will pay to
Buyer in cash the amount of any security deposits actually paid to or received by
Seller under the Tenant Leases (and not as of the Closing Date returned to or forfeited
by tenants under Tenant Leases) and any prepaid rentals actually paid to or received by
Seller for periods subsequent to the Closing; provided, however, non-refundable
payments, deposits, or fees (including pet fees/deposits) collected by Seller shall not
be prorated. In making the prorations required by this Section 4, the economic
burdens and benefits of ownership of the Property for the Closing Date shall be
allocated to Buyer. The provisions of this Section 4(e) shall survive the
Closing.
	 
	 	(f)	 	Utilities and other customarily prorated expenses, including, without
limitation, water, sewer, gas, electricity, trash removal, and fire protection service,
and any contracts or agreements for services to the Property to be transferred to and
assumed by Buyer, to the extent paid for by Seller or required to be paid for by Seller
for a period after Closing, shall be prorated as of the Closing Date. Other expenses
relating to the Property up to the Closing Date and all periods prior thereto including
those required by any contract or agreement for any services to the Property and those
incurred or ordered by Seller or Seller’s agents that are not to be transferred and
assumed by Buyer, including, without limitation, insurance and administrative expenses,
shall be paid for by Seller, and Buyer shall not be liable therefor. Seller shall not
assign to Buyer, and Buyer shall not be entitled to, any deposits held by any utility
company or other company servicing the Property; instead, such deposits shall be
returned to Seller, and Buyer shall arrange and

5

 

	 	 	 	bear all responsibility to arrange with
all utility companies to have accounts styled in Buyer’s name beginning on the Closing
Date. The provisions of this Section 4(f) shall survive the Closing.
	 
	 	(g)	 	At the Closing, Seller shall deliver to Buyer (or make available at the
Property), to the extent in Seller’s possession or control, originals of the Tenant
Leases, copies of the tenant correspondence files, keys, access codes, and originals of
any other items which Seller was required to furnish or make available pursuant to
Section 7, except for Seller’s general ledger and other internal books or
records which shall be retained by Seller.
	 
	 	(h)	 	If any apartment unit is vacated five (5) days or more prior to Closing, then,
prior to Closing, Seller shall use commercially reasonable diligence to return such
unit to rentable condition in accordance with Seller’s customary cleaning, painting,
and repair standards for vacant units, including causing all appliances to be cleaned
and in working order (the condition of such an apartment unit after cleaning is
referred to herein as a “Rent Ready Condition”). Buyer shall receive a credit
for each unit that became vacant on a date that is five or more days prior to Closing
and that is not in Rent Ready Condition at Closing in an amount agreed to by Seller and
Buyer. In the event Seller and Buyer cannot agree upon the amount with respect to any
unit or units which are not in Rent Ready Condition (“Disputed Units”), the sum
of $400.00 as to each Disputed Unit shall be withheld from the Sales Price at Closing
and deposited in an escrow account (“Make Ready Escrow Account”) maintained by
the Title Company under an Escrow Agreement to be agreed upon by Seller and Buyer at
Closing. Buyer shall be entitled to withdraw funds from the Escrow Amount as repairs
are made to the Disputed Units (up to a maximum of $400.00 per Disputed Unit) within
fifteen (15) days from presentation to the Title Company (with a copy to Seller) of a
request for disbursement accompanied by copies of paid third party invoices evidencing
such work (“Request for Disbursement”); provided, however, Seller shall have
the right to dispute such payment by sending written notice of such objection to the
Title Company and Buyer within ten (10) days following receipt of the Request for
Disbursement. The Title Company shall hold such funds in the Make Ready Escrow Account
as to the disputed Request for Disbursement until Seller and Buyer advise the Title
Company in writing as to the agreed disbursement of the disputed funds. The balance of
the Make Ready Escrow Account shall be paid to Seller upon the earlier to occur of (i)
the completion of the repairs to all of the Disputed Units; or (ii) thirty (30) days
from Closing.

	5.	 	FEASIBILITY STUDY AND INSPECTION.

	 	(a)	 	Buyer is granted the right to conduct engineering and/or market and economic
feasibility studies of the Property and a physical inspection of the Property,
including studies or inspections to determine the existence of any environmental
hazards or conditions (collectively, the “Feasibility Study”) during the period
(the “Feasibility Period”) commencing on the Effective Date and ending at 5:00
p.m., Dallas, Texas time on May 5, 2006. With Seller’s permission, after Seller has
received advance notice sufficient to permit it to schedule in an orderly manner
Buyer’s examination of the Property and to provide at least twenty-four (24) hours
advance written notice to any affected tenants, Buyer or its designated agents may
enter upon the Property for purposes of analysis or other tests and inspections deemed
necessary by Buyer for the Feasibility Study; provided, however, Buyer is not permitted
to perform any intrusive testing, including, without limitation, a Phase II
environmental assessment or boring, without (i) submitting to Seller the scope and
inspections for such testing; and (ii) obtaining the prior

Contract of Sale — Hidden Lake Apartments

6

 

	 	 	 	written consent of Seller
which may be withheld in Seller’s sole and absolute discretion. Buyer shall not alter
the physical condition of the Property without notifying Seller of its requested tests,
and obtaining the written consent of Seller to any physical alteration of the Property.
Buyer will exercise its best efforts to conduct or cause to be conducted all
inspections and tests in a manner and at times which will not unreasonably interfere
with any tenant’s use and occupancy of the Property. If Buyer determines, in its sole
judgment, that the Property is not suitable for any reason for Buyer’s intended use or
purpose, or is not in satisfactory condition, then Buyer may terminate this Contract by
written notice to Seller prior to expiration of the Feasibility Period, in which case
the Earnest Money will be returned to Buyer, and neither party shall have any further
right or obligation hereunder other than as set forth herein with respect to rights or
obligations that survive termination. If the Contract is not terminated in the manner
and within the time provided in this Section 5, the condition provided in this
Section 5(a) and any and all objections with respect to the Feasibility Study
shall be deemed to have been waived by Buyer for all purposes. The Feasibility Study
shall be at Buyer’s sole cost and expense.
	 
	 	(b)	 	Buyer shall promptly restore the Property to its original condition if damaged
or changed due to the tests and inspections performed by Buyer, free of any mechanic’s
or materialman’s liens or other encumbrances arising out of any of the inspections or
tests, and shall provide Seller, at no cost to Seller, with a copy of the results of
any tests and inspections made by Buyer, excluding any market and economic feasibility
studies. Buyer shall keep confidential the results of any tests and inspections made
by Buyer, and shall not disclose said results to any third parties; other than Buyer’s
officers, directors, employees, affiliates, counsel, investment advisors, potential
lenders, partners, investors and participants and their advisors and other
representatives (collectively “Buyer Group”), and the Buyer Group shall be
informed to treat such information confidentially and in accordance with the terms and
conditions of this Contract. Buyer hereby indemnifies and holds Seller harmless from
all claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, expenses (including, without
limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees), actions and causes of action arising out of or
in any way relating to the Feasibility Study performed by Buyer, its agents,
independent contractors, servants and/or employees, including those caused by or in any
way contributed to by the negligence of Seller, its agents, independent contractors,
servants and/or employees; provided such indemnity shall not extend to the gross
negligence or willful misconduct of the Seller, its agents, independent contractors,
servants and/or employees. Buyer further waives and releases any claims, demands,
damages, actions, causes of action or other remedies of any kind whatsoever against
Seller for property damages or bodily and/or personal injuries to Buyer, its agents,
independent contractors, servants and/or employees arising out of the Feasibility Study
or use in any manner of the Property. Buyer shall procure and continue in force from
and after the date Buyer first enters the Property, and continuing throughout the term
of this Contract, Comprehensive General Liability Insurance with a combined single
limit of not less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) per occurrence, or Commercial
General Liability Insurance, with limits of not less than One Million Dollars
($1,000,000) per occurrence and Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000) per event. Seller and
Thompson Realty Corporation shall be included as an additional insured(s) under such
comprehensive general liability or commercial general liability coverage. Such
insurance shall include: (i) personal injury liability with employee and contractual
exclusions removed; and (ii) a waiver of subrogation in favor of Seller without
exception for the negligence of any additional insured. Buyer will not be permitted to
come onto the Property unless and until Buyer has provided to Seller a

Contract of Sale — Hidden Lake Apartments

	 	 	 	certificate of
insurance evidencing such coverage, the additional insured status of Seller, and such
waiver of subrogation. The provisions of this Section 5(b) shall survive the
Closing or any termination of this Contract and are not subject to any liquidated
damage limitation on remedies, notwithstanding anything to the Contrary in this
Contract.
	 
	 	(c)	 	During the Feasibility Period, Buyer shall review all Service Contracts
provided by Seller. Buyer shall notify Seller prior to the expiration of the
Feasibility Period of those Service Contracts that it disapproves, and Seller shall, at
Seller’s expense, terminate such disapproved Service Contracts effective not later than
the Closing Date. All Service Contracts not disapproved by Buyer during the
Feasibility Period shall be deemed to have been approved by Buyer, and Buyer shall
assume and be liable for any and all obligations under the respective Service Contracts
extending past the Closing Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer shall be deemed
to have approved and shall have no right to reject those Service Contracts that, by
their terms, cannot be terminated by Seller without the payment of a penalty,
termination fee, or other charge.

	6.	 	TITLE APPROVAL.

	 	(a)	 	Seller has previously delivered to Buyer and Buyer acknowledges receipt of: (i)
a Commitment for Title Insurance with copies of all recorded instruments affecting the
Property and recited as exceptions in said Commitment for Title Insurance
(collectively, the “Commitment”) and (ii) the most current survey of the
Property in Seller’s possession or control (“Existing Survey”). If Buyer has
an objection to items disclosed in the Commitment or the Existing Survey, then Buyer
will be entitled to give Seller written notice of its objections for a period of ten
(10) Business Days following the receipt of the Commitment and the Existing Survey. If
Buyer gives timely written notice of its objections, then Seller may, but shall not
have any obligation to, cure such objections for a period of five (5) days from the
date Seller receives Buyer’s notice (“Seller’s Cure Period”). Seller shall
utilize reasonable diligence to cure any errors in the Commitment, provided Seller
shall not have any obligation to expend any money, to incur any contractual or other
obligations, or to institute any litigation in pursuing such efforts other than to
remove at Closing financing liens of an ascertainable amount created by, through, or
under Seller; further provided, notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller is required to
cure any objection that may be cured by performance of the following acts: (A)
satisfaction of any mortgages placed upon the Property by Seller or expressly assumed
by Seller as a lien to secure indebtedness; or (B) causing the release of any
mechanic’s liens placed upon the Property by a third party in connection with work
performed or alleged to have been performed on the Property by, or at the request of,
Seller (collectively “Monetary Encumbrances”). At Seller’s option, Seller may
elect to cure an objection made by Buyer by causing the Title Company to issue an
endorsement to “insure over” such objection (“Seller’s Curative Endorsement”).
If any objection is not satisfied during Seller’s Cure Period, then Buyer shall elect
not later then five (5) days after the expiration of Seller’s Cure Period, but in any
event on or before expiration of the Feasibility Period, as its sole and exclusive
remedy to either: (i) terminate this Contract, in which case the Earnest Money shall be
refunded to Buyer, and neither party will have any further rights or obligations
pursuant to this Contract, other than as set forth herein with respect to rights or
obligations that survive termination; or (ii) waive the unsatisfied objection (which
shall thereupon become a Permitted Exception) and proceed to Closing. Any exception to
title not objected to by Buyer in the manner and within the time period specified in
this Section 6(a) shall be deemed accepted by Buyer. At least thirty (30) days
prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall, at Seller’s sole cost and expense, obtain and
cause to be

Contract of Sale — Hidden Lake Apartments

8

 

	 	 	 	delivered to Buyer an update of the Existing Survey (“New Survey”)
which shall depict the location of New Buildings together with any sidewalks and paving
installed in connection with the New Buildings. If the New Survey shows exceptions not
previously shown on the Existing Survey (individually a “New Exception” and
collectively the “New Exceptions”), Buyer may object to such New Exceptions in
accordance with the mechanism contained in this Section 6(a); provided Buyer
shall have no right to object to any New Exception if the New Exception (i) is a
utility service easement (“Service Easement”) whereby the public utility
provides utility service to any portion of the Improvements (including the New
Buildings) and the Improvements do not encroach into the boundaries of the Service
Easement; or (ii) reflects the addition of paving, sidewalks or landscaping and such
additional of paving, sidewalks or landscaping does not cause the Property to violate
applicable law or applicable restrictions, or (iii) the location of the New Buildings
is the New Buildings are substantially in the locations depicted on Exhibit H
attached hereto and the location does not cause the Property to violate applicable law
or applicable restrictions. The phrase “Permitted Exceptions” means those
exceptions to title set forth in the Commitment or Existing Survey or the New Survey
and that have been accepted or deemed accepted by Buyer. The failure of Seller to
deliver a Commitment or the Existing Survey satisfying the requirements of this
Section 6(a) will not under any circumstances extend the period for review of
the Commitment or Existing Survey beyond the Feasibility Period, and Buyer’s sole and
exclusive remedy for any such failure shall be to terminate this Contract prior to the
expiration of the Feasibility Period in accordance with the provisions of Section
5(a). Buyer shall notify Seller in writing of any failure of the Commitment or
Existing Survey to satisfy the requirements of this Section 6(a) within ten
(10) days after the Commitment and Existing Survey are received by Buyer, and if Buyer
fails to do so, then they shall be deemed to satisfy such requirements.
	 
	 	(b)	 	After the Effective Date, Seller shall not intentionally or deliberately place
on the Property any encumbrance (references to “encumbrance” include any lien,
encumbrance, or other exception to title) other than new Tenant Leases as permitted by
the terms of this Contract. If prior to the Closing Date title to the Property becomes
subject to any encumbrance other than a Permitted Exception, then Seller may (but shall
not be obligated to) attempt to cure such encumbrance; provided Seller shall be
obligated to remove any Monetary Encumbrance. If Seller is unable or unwilling to cure
any such encumbrance, then Buyer may, as its sole and exclusive remedy either: (i)
terminate this Contract by written notice to Seller whereupon the Earnest Money and any
Extension Fee shall be returned to Buyer, and neither party will have any right or
obligation hereunder other than as set forth herein with respect to rights or
obligations that survive termination; or (ii) proceed to Closing without receiving any
credit against or reduction of the Sales Price whereupon Buyer shall be deemed to have
accepted such encumbrance as an exception to title (which shall thereupon become a
Permitted Exception).

	7.	 	SUBMISSION MATTERS.

	 	(d)	 	Any failure of Seller to timely deliver any of the Submission Matters or make

estate commissions, finders’ fees, or brokers’ fees have been or will be incurred in
connection with the sale of the Property by Seller to Buyer other than William M. Woodall P.C.

Seller shall indemnify, defend and hold each other harmless from any claim, liability,
obligation, cost or expense (including attorneys’ fees and expenses) for fees or commissions

OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE INVESTIGATED AND INSPECTED THE PROPERTY AND IS FAMILIAR AND
SATISFIED WITH THE PHYSICAL CONDITION OF THE PROPERTY; AND (II) HAS MADE OR WILL HAVE

CONDITIONS) ON AN “AS IS,” “WHERE IS,” AND “WITH ALL FAULTS” BASIS. BUYER FURTHER
ACKNOWLEDGES THAT WITHOUT THIS ACCEPTANCE, THIS SALE WOULD NOT BE MADE AND THAT EXCEPT
AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS CONTRACT, SELLER WILL NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES HAVE
ANY OBLIGATION WHATSOEVER TO UNDERTAKE ANY REPAIR, ALTERATION, REMEDIATION, OR OTHER

RESPECT TO THE PRESENCE OF TOXIC OR HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES OR WASTE OR OTHER
ENVIRONMENTAL CONTAMINATION ON OR WITHIN OR UNDER THE SURFACE OF THE PROPERTY, WHETHER
KNOWN OR UNKNOWN, APPARENT, NON-APPARENT OR LATENT, AND WHETHER EXISTING PRIOR TO, AT,

CONTRACT, BUYER AND ITS SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS HEREBY RELEASE SELLER OF AND FROM ANY
AND ALL RESPONSIBILITY, LIABILITY, OBLIGATIONS, AND CLAIMS, KNOWN OR UNKNOWN,
INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY OBLIGATION TO TAKE THE PROPERTY BACK OR REDUCE THE

	 	 	 	LIABILITY ACT, AS AMENDED 42 U.S.C. § 9601 ET SEQ. BUYER FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE
PROVISIONS OF THIS DISCLAIMER AND RELEASE HAVE BEEN FULLY EXPLAINED TO BUYER AND THAT
BUYER FULLY UNDERSTANDS AND ACCEPTS SAME. THE PROVISIONS OF THIS DISCLAIMER AND
RELEASE SURVIVE CLOSING.
	 
	 	(b)	 	Except as otherwise specifically stated in this Contract, Buyer agrees that
Seller shall not be responsible or liable to Buyer for any construction defects,
errors, omissions, or on account of any other conditions affecting the Property, as
Buyer is purchasing the Property AS IS, WHERE IS, and
WITH ALL FAULTS. Buyer or anyone claiming by, through or under
Buyer, hereby fully releases Seller, its employees, officers, directors,
representatives, attorneys and agents from any claim, cost, loss, liability, damage,
expense, demand, action or cause of action arising from or related to any construction
defects, errors, omissions, or other conditions affecting the Property. Buyer further
acknowledges and agrees that this release shall be given full force and effect
according to each of its expressed terms and provisions, including, without limitation,
those relating to unknown and suspected claims, damages and causes of action. This
covenant releasing Seller shall be a covenant running with the Property and shall be
binding upon Buyer, its successors and assigns. Subject to consummation of this
Contract, Seller hereby assigns to Buyer, without recourse or representation of any
nature, effective upon Closing, any and all claims that Seller may have against any
third party for any such errors, omissions or defects in the Property. As a material
covenant and condition of this Contract, Buyer agrees that in the event of any such
construction defects, errors, omissions or on account of any other conditions affecting
the Property, Buyer shall look solely to Seller’s predecessors in title or to such
contractors and consultants as may have contracted for work in connection with the
Property for any redress or relief. Upon the assignment by Seller of its claims, Buyer
releases Seller of all rights, express or implied, Buyer may have against Seller
arising out of or resulting from any errors, omissions or defects in the Property.
Buyer further understands that some of Seller’s predecessors in title may have filed
petitions under the bankruptcy code and Buyer may have no remedy against such
predecessors, contractors or consultants. This waiver and release of claims shall
survive the Closing.

	10.	 	DEFAULT.

	 	(a)	 	Seller’s Remedies. If Buyer fails to perform its obligations pursuant
to this Contract at or prior to Closing for any reason except failure by Seller to
perform hereunder, or if prior to Closing any one or more of Buyer’s representations or
warranties are breached in any material respect, then Seller shall be entitled, as its
SOLE and EXCLUSIVE remedy (except as provided in Sections 5(b) and 8), to
terminate this Contract and retain the Earnest Money as liquidated damages and not as
penalty, in full satisfaction of claims against Buyer hereunder. Seller and Buyer
agree that Seller’s damages resulting from Buyer’s default are difficult, if not
impossible, to determine, and the Earnest Money is a fair estimate of those damages and
has been agreed to in an effort to cause the amount of such damages to be certain.
Notwithstanding anything in this Section 10(a) to the contrary, in the event of
Buyer’s default or termination of this Contract, Seller shall have all remedies
available at law or in equity if Buyer or any party related to or affiliated with Buyer
is asserting any claims or right to the Property that would otherwise delay or prevent
Seller from having clear, indefeasible and marketable title to the Property.

	 	(b)	 	Buyer’s Remedies. If Seller fails to perform its obligations pursuant
to this Contract for any reason except failure by Buyer to perform hereunder, or if
prior to Closing any one or more of Seller’s representations or warranties are breached
in any material respect, then Buyer shall elect, as its SOLE and EXCLUSIVE remedy, to
either: (i) terminate this Contract by giving Seller timely written notice of such
election prior to or at Closing and recover the Earnest Money and any Extension Fee,
together with Buyer’s actual, third party, out of pocket costs and expenses incurred in
connection with Buyer’s Feasibility Study, up to a maximum cumulative reimbursement not
to exceed $25,000.00; or (ii) enforce specific performance; provided, however, if —
and only if — the remedy of specific performance is not available to Buyer due to
Seller’s prior sale of the Property to a third party, then Buyer shall have the
additional remedy of terminating the Agreement and recovering from Seller an amount
equal to the sum of Buyer’s documented, out-of-pocket third party costs paid or
incurred in connection with the acquisition of the Property, or (iii) waive said
failure or breach and proceed to Closing. Notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, Buyer shall be deemed to have elected to terminate this Contract if Buyer
fails to deliver to Seller written notice of its intent to file a claim or assert a
cause of action for specific performance against Seller on or before fifteen (15)
business days following the scheduled Closing Date or, having given such notice, fails
to file a lawsuit asserting such claim or cause of action in Bexar County, Texas,
within two (2) months following the scheduled Closing Date. In no event or
circumstance shall Buyer be entitled to any consequential or punitive damages. Buyer’s
remedies shall be limited to those described in this Section 10(b).
	 
	 	11.	 	ATTORNEYS’ FEES. Any party to this Contract who is the prevailing party in any legal
proceeding against the other party brought under or with respect to this Contract or
transaction shall be additionally entitled to recover court costs and reasonable attorneys’
fees from the non-prevailing party.
	 
	 	12.	 	REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF SELLER.

Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, 42 U.S.C. §
9601, et seq., the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, 42 U.S.C. § 6901, et
seq., and the Clean Water Act, 33 U.S.C. § 1251, et seq.;
	 
	 	(vii)	 	There are no actions, suits or proceedings pending for which
Seller has received service of process, before or by any judicial,
administrative or union body, any arbiter or any governmental authority,
against or affecting Seller or the Property. To Seller’s knowledge, Seller has

Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the Income Tax Regulations thereunder;
	 
	 	(ix)	 	Neither Seller, nor any of its affiliates, nor any of their
respective partners, members, shareholders or other equity owners, and none of
their respective employees, officers, directors, representatives or agents, is,
nor will they become, a person or entity with whom U.S. persons or entities are

agreement or judicial order to which Seller is a party or to which Seller or
the Property is subject; and

	 	(b)	 	Whenever the phrases “to Seller’s actual knowledge,” “to Seller’s
knowledge,” or “to the best of Seller’s knowledge” or any similar phrase is
used herein, such phrases shall be deemed to mean the present, actual knowledge (as
opposed to the imputed knowledge), without inquiry or investigation, of such fact or
condition by W. T. Field, (President of Thompson Realty Development Corporation, the
corporate general partner of Seller) (“Seller’s Representative”). The
representations and warranties contained in Section 12(a) are the
representations and warranties of Seller and in no event or circumstances will be
construed as either the individual representations and warranties of Seller’s
Representative or to create any individual liability for Seller’s Representative.
	 
	 	(c)	 	It shall be a condition precedent to Buyer’s obligations hereunder that as of
the date of Closing, all of Seller’s representations and warranties shall be true and
correct in all material respects. If the representations and warranties of Seller
which to Sellers actual knowledge were true and correct when made are not true and
correct in all material respects on the date of Closing, then Buyer may, at its option,
(a) waive such condition and close this transaction in accordance with the terms and
provisions of this Contract or, (b) terminate this Contract by notice in writing to
Seller and receive back the Earnest Money whereupon neither party shall have any
further rights or obligations pursuant to this Contract, other than as set forth herein

	 	(d)	 	Subject to the provisions of Section 12(e), the representations and
warranties of Seller made in Section 12(a) shall survive the Closing for a
period of six (6) months (the “Survival Period”). Buyer shall have the right
to bring an action against the Seller on the breach of a representation or warranty
hereunder, but only on the following conditions: (i) the Buyer first learns of the
breach after Closing and files such action within the Survival Period, and (ii) Buyer
shall not have the right to bring a cause of action for a breach of a representation or
warranty unless the damage to such party on account of such breach (individually or
when combined with damages from other breaches) equals or exceeds Twenty-Five Thousand
and No/100 Dollars ($25,000.00). Furthermore, Buyer agrees that the maximum liability
of Seller for the alleged breach of any or all representations or warranties set forth
in this Contract is limited to Two Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($200,000.00).
The provisions of this Section 12(d) shall survive the Closing.
	 
	 	(e)	 	If any representation or warranty above is known by Buyer prior to Closing to
be untrue and is not remedied by Seller prior to Closing, Buyer may as Buyer’s sole and
exclusive remedy, either (i) terminate this Contract whereupon the Earnest Money and
any Extension Fee shall be refunded to Buyer, and neither party shall have any further
rights

	 	 	 	or obligations pursuant to this Contract, other than as set forth herein with
respect to rights or obligations that survive termination, or (ii) waive its objections
and close the transaction without any reduction or credit against the Sales Price. The
foregoing representations and warranties shall not survive the Closing.

	13.	 	COVENANTS OF SELLER. From the Effective Date until Closing, Seller shall:

	 	(a)	 	Maintain and operate the Property in its current state and condition,
reasonable wear and tear and damage from casualty excepted.
	 
	 	(b)	 	Continue all insurance policies relative to the Property in full force and
effect.
	 
	 	(c)	 	Not remove any item of Personal Property from the Land or Improvements unless
replaced by a comparable item of Personal Property, except for any dead landscaping,
which Seller shall have no obligation to replace.
	 
	 	(d)	 	Refrain from entering into any contracts, or other agreements (excluding
leases) regarding the Property (other than contracts in the ordinary and usual course
of business and which are cancelable by the owner of the Property within thirty (30)
days after giving notice thereof without penalty).
	 
	 	(e)	 	Use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the New Buildings to be
constructed substantially in accordance with the New Building Plans.
	 
	 	(f)	 	Seller shall conduct its leasing activities in the normal course of business.
All new Tenant Leases shall be on the form of lease currently used by Seller or such
other form as may be approved by Buyer and Seller. All new leases shall be entered
into in conformity with the lease guidelines (“Lease Guidelines”) attached
hereto as Exhibit G, including lease term, rental rates and leasing
concessions, or as otherwise proposed by Seller and approved by Buyer. Seller will not
grant any move-in incentive to tenants greater those provided in the Lease Guidelines.
	 
	 	(g)	 	Perform Seller’s material obligations under the Tenant Leases, in accordance
with Seller’s prior operations.
	 
	 	(h)	 	Provide to Buyer copies of current rent rolls in the same form as the Rent Roll
which will be deemed to supplement the Rent Roll promptly following receipt by Seller.
	 
	 	(i)	 	Provide to Buyer copies of updated operating statements as received by Seller
in accordance with its current course of business.
	 
	 	(j)	 	Apply any security or other deposits except in the ordinary course of Seller’s
business in accordance with Seller’s prior operations.

	14.	 	USE OF PROPERTY. Seller has not claimed the benefit of laws permitting a special use
valuation for the purposes of payment of ad valorem taxes on the Property. If a previous
owner claimed such benefit and, after the purchase is closed, Buyer changes the use of the
Property from its present use and the same results in the assessment of additional taxes, such
additional taxes will be the obligation of the Buyer, notwithstanding that some or all of such
additional taxes may relate back to the period prior to Closing.

	15.	 	CONDEMNATION. Seller agrees to give Buyer prompt notice of any condemnation action
affecting the Land, the Improvements or the Personal Property between the Effective Date and
the Closing Date. If prior to the Closing Date condemnation proceedings are commenced against
any material portion of the Property, then this Contract shall terminate and the Earnest Money
and any Extension Fee shall be refunded to Buyer. A “material portion of the Property” as
used herein shall mean at least ten percent (10%) of the square footage of the structural
Improvements or parking such that the Property does not comply with applicable law, or loss or
relocation of the primary entrance to the Property, or loss or relocation of the primary
entrance sign for the Property. If prior to the Closing Date condemnation proceedings are
commenced against less than a material portion of the Property, then this Contract shall not
terminate, but at Closing Seller shall assign to Buyer any condemnation award and the Sales
Price shall not be reduced.
	 
	16.	 	DAMAGE TO PROPERTY. Seller agrees to give Buyer prompt notice of any fire or other
casualty affecting the Land, the Improvements or the Personal Property between the Effective
Date and the Closing.

	 	(a)	 	If prior to the Closing either (i) the Property is damaged by an uninsured
casualty costing TWO-HUNDRED THOUSAND AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($200,000.00) or more to
repair and Seller is unwilling or unable to repair such damage on or prior to the
Closing; or (ii) the Property is damaged by fire or other casualty which is insured
that would cost TWO-HUNDRED FIFTY-THOUSAND AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($250,000.00) or more to
repair, then in any such event, either Buyer or Seller may, at its option, elect to
terminate this Contract by written notice to the other party within twenty (20) days
after the date of Seller’s notice to Buyer of the casualty or at the Closing, whichever
is earlier, in which case the Earnest Money and any Extension Fee shall be refunded to
Buyer, and neither party shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder, other
than as set forth herein with respect to rights and obligations that survive
termination. If neither Buyer nor Seller timely makes its election to terminate this
Contract, then the Closing shall take place as provided herein without reduction of the
Sales Price (except for (i) the amount equal to Seller’s deductible under its insurance
policies and (ii) the amount, be in no event more than TWO-HUNDRED THOUSAND AND NO/100
DOLLARS ($200,000.00) of the estimated cost to repair any uninsured casualty), and
there shall be assigned to Buyer at the Closing all interest of Seller in and to any
casualty insurance proceeds, including, to the extent assignable the proceeds of any
business interruption or loss of rental insurance.
	 
	 	(b)	 	If prior to the Closing there shall occur damage to the Property caused by fire
or other casualty which is insured that would cost less TWO-HUNDRED FIFTY-THOUSAND AND
NO/100 DOLLARS ($250,000.00) to repair, then in any such event, Buyer shall have no
right to terminate this Contract, but there shall be assigned to Buyer at Closing all
interest of Seller in and to any casualty insurance proceeds that may be payable to
Seller on account of any such occurrence, including, to the extent assignable the
proceeds of any business interruption or loss of rental insurance and the Sales Price
shall be reduced by an amount equal to Seller’s deductible under its insurance
policies.
	 
	 	(c)	 	Seller and Buyer both agree to use the Seller’s insurance adjuster’s assessment
to determine the amount of damages.

	17.	 	REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF BUYER. Buyer represents and warrants to Seller,
which representations and warranties shall be deemed made by Buyer to Seller as of the
Effective Date and also as of the Closing Date:

provided in this Contract and to carry out Buyer’s obligations hereunder, and that all
requisite action necessary to authorize Buyer to enter into this Contract and to carry
out Buyer’s obligations hereunder has been taken.
	 
	 	(b)	 	Neither Buyer, nor any of its affiliates, nor any of their respective partners,
members, shareholders or other equity owners, and none of their respective employees,
officers, directors, representatives or agents, is, nor will they become, a person or
entity with whom U.S. persons or entities are restricted from doing business under
regulations of OFAC (including those named on OFAC’s Specially Designated and Blocked
Persons List) or under any statute, executive order (including the September 24, 2001,
Executive Order Blocking Property and Prohibiting Transactions with Persons Who Commit,
Threaten to Commit, or Support Terrorism), or other governmental action and is not and
will not engage in any dealings or transactions or be otherwise associated with such
persons or entities.

	 	 	Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any breach by Buyer of any of the foregoing
representations or warranties shall constitute a default by Buyer hereunder, and Seller may
thereupon, at its option, terminate this Contract by giving written notice thereof, in which
