In addition, Seller, without representation or any implied warranty, other than as set forth in Section 6.A hereof, will furnish Purchaser with a copy of any Phase I environmental site assessment or investigation report that was prepared for or received by Seller at the time of Seller’s acquisition of the Property, and any reliance letter(s) and or follow up correspondence or updates thereto (collectively, the “Prior ESA Report”). Purchaser shall contract for its own environmental and physical inspection of the Property, if and to the extent Purchaser so desires.

At any time from and after the Effective Date and during the term of this Agreement, with Seller’s prior written consent which shall not be unreasonably conditioned, delayed or withheld, Purchaser, its agents or employees, may enter upon the Property to inspect the Property at such reasonable times and in such a manner so as to minimize interference and interruption to the use being made of the Property by Seller, its tenants, occupants, agents, employees, representatives and invitees; provided, however, Purchaser must obtain Seller’s prior written approval, which may be granted or withheld in Seller’s sole discretion, of the scope and method of any environmental testing or inspection (other than a Phase I environmental site assessment) prior to Purchaser’s commencement of such tests or inspections.  Purchaser, its engineers, architects, employees, contractors, consultants and agents shall maintain commercial liability insurance policies, in an amount not less than Two Million and No/100 Dollars ($1,000,000.00) insuring against claims arising as a result of the inspection of the Property.

Seller hereby acknowledges the sum of One Hundred Dollars ($100.00) in hand paid by Purchaser as consideration for entering into this Agreement with the right to inspect the Property. Purchaser agrees to repair any damages to the Property caused by such inspections and, immediately following such inspection, reasonably restore the Property to substantially the same condition as existing prior to such inspections. In addition, Purchaser shall indemnify, defend 

8

and hold Seller harmless from any and all claims, demands, liabilities, damage and costs, including attorneys’ fees, arising out of or resulting from any activity of Purchaser, its agents, employees or representatives pursuant to the provisions of this paragraph, which indemnity shall survive the termination or Closing of this Agreement.  If Purchaser does not give written notice of its election to terminate this Agreement before 5 p.m. Central time on the Termination Date, Purchaser will be deemed to have waived any rights it may have to terminate under this Section 6.F and Purchaser shall be obligated to consummate this Agreement in accordance with the terms and provisions hereof.

iii.

At Closing, ad valorem taxes (real and personal) for the year of Closing shall be prorated in cash as of the Adjustment Time (as hereinafter defined).  All special taxes or assessments assessed and payable prior to the Closing Date shall be paid by Seller and those assessed and payable after the Closing Date shall be paid by Purchaser. If the ad valorem taxes for the year of Closing are not known or cannot be reasonably estimated, taxes shall be estimated based on taxes for the year prior to Closing, and the proration based on such estimates shall be final and shall not be further adjusted except in the event of a reduction in value for 2013 based on the tax suit which Seller has filed to contest the 2013 ad valorem tax valuation with respect to the Property.  If such suit has been resolved prior to Closing, then Seller shall transfer to Purchaser, or pay directly to tenants, any reimbursements due to tenants as a result of any reduction in value resulting from such suit.  If such suit has not been resolved prior to Closing, Purchaser shall take over responsibility for such suit (with Seller paying any costs incurred prior to Closing and Purchaser being responsible for any costs incurred subsequent to Closing), and upon resolution of such suit, if there are any reimbursements or taxes owed to Seller, after payment of any amounts due to tenants, Purchaser shall pay to Seller any amounts owed to Seller.  If 2013 taxes are used as a basis for estimating taxes for the year of Closing, and are subsequently reduced as a result of such suit, then Purchaser shall pay to Seller any amounts owed to Seller for overpayment of 2013 taxes.  Seller shall cause all utility meters to be read on 

11

the date of Closing and all utilities thereafter used shall be paid by Purchaser and all utilities theretofore used shall be paid by Seller.  All income and expenses in connection with the operation of the Property, including service contracts, shall be prorated as of 12:01 a.m. Central Time on the day of the Closing Date (the “Adjustment Time”), as if Purchaser were vested with title to the Property during the entire Closing Date, such that Seller shall have the benefit of income and the burden of expenses for the day preceding the Closing Date, and the Purchaser shall have the benefit of income and the burden of expenses for the Closing Date and thereafter, but Purchaser shall not be entitled to the benefit of any front-end payments under any cable or similar contracts.

If Closing shall occur before rents and all other amounts payable by the tenants under the Leases have been paid for the month in which the Closing occurs, the proration of such rents and other amounts shall be upon the basis of such rents and other amounts received by Seller.  Subsequent to the Closing, if any such rents and other amounts are received by Purchaser, all such amounts shall be applied in the following order:  (1) first to rent and other amounts payable by tenants are due, after which Closing occurs and (2) the balance of delinquent rent and other amounts payable by tenant relating to the rent prior to Closing.  The amounts received by Purchaser that are to be applied to periods prior to Closing shall be delivered by Purchaser to Seller within ten (10) days after receipt.  Any amounts received by Seller subsequent to the Closing that are to be applied to periods following Closing shall be delivered by Seller to Purchaser within ten (10) days after receipt.  For a period of six (6) months following the Closing, Purchaser agrees to provide Seller with reasonable access to Purchaser’s books, records and accounts relating to the operation of the Property in order that Seller may verify compliance with the preceding terms and provisions of this Section 8.B(iii).  With respect to common area maintenance, taxes, insurance and any other “pass-through” expenses attributable to the calendar year of Closing, Purchaser shall make a good faith effort to attempt to collect the same for Seller’s benefit after Closing in the usual course of business of operation of commercial property similar to the Property.  Purchaser hereby authorizes Seller to pursue collection of the same from the tenants after Closing; provided, however, Seller shall not have the right to pursue eviction of tenants in its collection efforts.  Seller’s share of any such sums shall be remitted to Seller within ten (10) days after receipt by Purchaser, such that all common area costs, maintenance charges, taxes, insurance charges and any other “pass-through” expenses of any nature actually paid by tenant under the Leases and received by Purchaser shall be paid to Seller.

The parties hereto shall have the right from time to time to change their respective addresses, and each shall have the right to specify as its address any other address within the United States of America by at least five (5) days’ written notice to the other party.

E.

Time.  Time is of the essence in all things pertaining to the performance of this Agreement; however, if the final date of any period which is set out in any provision of this Agreement falls on a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday under the laws of the United States or the State of Texas, then, in such event, the time of such period shall be extended to the next day which is not a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday.

 

F.

Place of Performance.  This Agreement is made and shall be performable in Harris County, Texas, and shall be construed in accordance with the laws of Texas.  

G.

Paragraph Headings.  The paragraph headings contained in this Agreement are for convenience only and shall in no way enlarge or limit the scope or meaning of the various and several paragraphs hereof.

H.

Condemnation.  If, prior to Closing, any governmental authority or other entity having condemnation authority shall institute an eminent domain proceeding or take any steps preliminary thereto (including the giving of any direct or indirect notice of intent to institute such proceedings) with regard to the Property, and the same is not dismissed on or before ten (10) days prior to Closing, Purchaser, as its sole remedy, shall be entitled either to terminate this Agreement upon written notice to Seller or to waive such right of termination and receive all such condemnation proceeds. In the event of a termination of this Agreement, the Earnest Money shall be refunded by the Title Company to Purchaser and neither party shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, any eminent domain proceedings instituted (or of which notice shall be given) solely for the taking of any subsurface rights for utility easements or for any right-of-way easement, if in Purchaser’s reasonable opinion the surface may, after such taking, be used in the same manner as though such rights had not been taken, shall not entitle Purchaser to terminate this Agreement as to any part of the Property, but any award resulting therefrom shall be the exclusive property of Purchaser upon Closing. In the event Purchaser elects to terminate this Agreement under this Section 9.H, the Title Company shall forthwith return to Purchaser the Earnest Money and neither party to this Agreement shall thereafter have any further rights or obligations hereunder.

I.

Risk of Loss.  Until Closing, Seller alone shall bear the risk of loss should there be damage to any of the Improvements by fire or other casualty. If prior to the Closing any of the Improvements shall be damaged by fire or other casualty, Seller shall take all action 

15

necessary to preserve and protect the Improvements from further loss or damage and, within ten (10) business days after such loss, deliver to Purchaser a detailed written description of the damages incurred and an estimate of the cost of restoration (“Casualty Loss Information”). If the Improvements are materially damaged (as hereinafter defined), Purchaser may, within fifteen (15) days after delivery of the Casualty Loss Information, either: (a) terminate this Agreement by delivering written notice of same to Seller or (b) waive its rights of termination and proceed to close this transaction in accordance with the terms hereof. If Purchaser waives its right of termination, all casualty insurance proceeds payable as a result of the loss and Purchaser’s pro rata share of any rental or business loss proceeds shall be assigned to Purchaser at Closing and Purchaser shall be credited the amount of the applicable deductible. In the event of Purchaser’s waiver of its termination rights, all insurance proceeds received prior to Closing shall be deposited with Title Company to be delivered in accordance with the terms hereof. In case of such loss and Purchaser’s waiver of its right to terminate, Purchaser may notify all appropriate insurance companies of its interest in the insurance proceeds. “Material damage” is defined as damage to the Improvements of such nature that the cost of restoring the same to its condition prior to the fire or other casualty in full compliance with all applicable building and zoning laws, ordinances, and regulations will exceed $100,000.00, whether or not such damage is covered by insurance. If the parties fail to agree on the amount of the cost of such restoration, the amount thereof shall be determined by the majority vote of an engineer designated by Purchaser, an engineer designated by Seller and an engineer designated by the engineers selected by the parties. All engineers shall be registered professional engineers pursuant to the laws of Texas. In the event of damage to the Property of $250,000.00 or less, Purchaser shall close in accordance with the terms hereof and without any reduction in the Purchase Price. At Closing (i) Seller shall assign its rights to the insurance proceeds to Purchaser and (ii) Purchaser shall receive a credit against the Purchase Price in the amount of Seller’s deductible under such insurance policies. In the event Purchaser elects to terminate this Agreement under this Section 9.1, Title Company shall return to Purchaser the Earnest Money and neither party to this Agreement shall thereafter have any further rights or obligations hereunder.

J.

Obligations.  To the extent necessary to carry out the terms and provisions hereof, the terms, conditions, warranties, representations, obligations and rights set forth herein shall not be deemed terminated at the time of Closing, nor will they merge into the various documents executed and delivered at the time of Closing, and they shall survive for a period of one (1) year from the date of Closing.

K.

Assignment.  This Agreement may not be assigned by Purchaser without Seller’s consent, except Purchaser may assign this Agreement to an Affiliate without Seller's prior consent.  For the purposes of this paragraph, the term “Affiliate” means (a) an entity that directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by or is under common control with the Purchaser or its stockholders or (b) an entity at least a majority of whose economic interest is owned by Purchaser or its stockholders; and the term "control" means the power to direct the management of such entity through voting rights, ownership or contractual obligations.  Such entity shall be required to assume the obligations of Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement, but in the event of such assignment, Purchaser shall not be released from liability under this Agreement.

16

L.

Dates for Performance. If the date of performance of any obligation falls on a day that is a Saturday, Sunday or Federal legal holiday, then the date of such performance shall be extended to the first day following such date that is not a Saturday, Sunday or Federal legal holiday.
