  c.Cash Distributions.  No adjustment on account of cash dividends or interest on the securities as to which purchase rights under this Warrant exist will be made to the Exercise Price under this Warrant.

  d.Replacement of Securities upon Reorganization, etc. In case of any reclassification or reorganization of the outstanding Shares other than a change covered by Section 8(a) or 8(b) hereof or that solely affects the par value of such Shares, or in the case of any share reconstruction or amalgamation or consolidation of the Company with or into another corporation (other than a consolidation or share reconstruction or amalgamation in which the Company is the continuing corporation and that does not result in any reclassification or reorganization of the outstanding Shares), or in the case of any sale or conveyance to another corporation or entity of the property of the Company as an entirety or substantially as an entirety in connection with which the Company is dissolved, the Holder of this Warrant shall have the right thereafter (until the expiration of the right of exercise of this Warrant) to receive upon the exercise hereof, for the same aggregate Exercise Price payable hereunder immediately prior to such event, the kind and amount of shares of stock or other securities or property (including cash) receivable upon such reclassification, reorganization, share reconstruction or amalgamation, or consolidation, or upon a dissolution following any such sale or transfer, by a Holder of the number of Shares of the Company obtainable upon exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to such event; and if any 

   DOCPROPERTY "DOCID" \* MERGEFORMAT AMERICAS/2021321622.6	4

  

  reclassification also results in a change in Shares covered by Section 8(a) or 8(b), then such adjustment shall be made pursuant to Sections 8(a), 8(b) and this Section 8(d). The provisions of this Section 8(d) shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, reorganizations, share reconstructions or amalgamations, or consolidations, sales or other transfers.

  b.Restrictive Legend.  Upon exercise of this Warrant each certificate representing the Shares and any other securities issued in respect of the Shares upon any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, merger, consolidation or similar event, shall (unless otherwise permitted by the provisions of Section 9(c)) be stamped or otherwise imprinted with a legend in the following form (in addition to any legend required under applicable state securities laws):

  THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR QUALIFIED UNDER APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED, ASSIGNED, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED UNLESS AND UNTIL REGISTERED UNDER SUCH ACT AND QUALIFIED UNDER APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, OR UNLESS THE CORPORATION HAS RECEIVED AN OPINION OF COUNSEL OR OTHER EVIDENCE, REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE CORPORATION AND ITS COUNSEL, THAT SUCH REGISTRATION OR QUALIFICATION IS NOT REQUIRED.

   DOCPROPERTY "DOCID" \* MERGEFORMAT AMERICAS/2021321622.6	5

  

  10.Investment Representations of the Holder.  With respect to the acquisition of any of the Securities, the Holder hereby represents and warrants to the Company as follows:

  a.Purchase Entirely for Own Account.  This Warrant is made with the Holder in reliance upon the Holder’s representation to the Company, which by the Holder’s execution of this Warrant the Holder hereby confirms, that the Securities will be acquired for investment for the Holder’s own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to the resale or distribution of any part thereof, and that the Holder has no present intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the same.  By executing this Warrant, the Holder further represents that the Holder does not have any contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any person to sell, transfer or grant participations to such person or to any third person with respect to any of the Securities.

  b.Reliance upon Holders’ Representations.  The Holder understands that the Securities have not been, and will not be, registered under the Securities Act by reason of a specific exemption from the registration provisions of the Securities Act, and that the Company’s reliance on such exemption is predicated on the Holder’s representations set forth herein.

  c.Investment Experience; Economic Risk.  The Holder understands that the Company has a limited financial and operating history and that an investment in the Company involves substantial risks.  The Holder is experienced in evaluating and investing in private placement transactions of securities of companies in a similar stage of development to that of the Company and acknowledges that the Holder is able to fend for itself.  The Holder has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that the Holder is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the investment in the Securities.  The Holder can bear the economic risk of the Holder’s investment and is able, without impairing the Holder’s financial condition, to hold the Securities for an indefinite period of time and to suffer a complete loss of the Holder’s investment.

  d.Accredited Investor Status.  The Holder is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Regulation D, Rule 501(a), promulgated under the Securities Act.  If other than an individual, the Holder also represents that it has not been organized for the purpose of acquiring the Securities.

  e.Residency.  The state of the Holder’s principal place of business is Texas.

  f.Restricted Securities.  The Holder understands that the Securities are characterized as “restricted securities” under the federal securities laws inasmuch as they are being acquired from the Company in a transaction not involving a public offering and that under such federal securities laws and applicable regulations such Securities may be resold without registration under the Securities Act only in certain limited circumstances.  In this connection, Holder represents that it is aware of the provisions of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act which permit limited resale of securities purchased in a private placement subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, including, among other things, the existence of a public market for the securities, the availability of certain current public information about the Company, the resale occurring not less than one year after a party has purchased and paid for the security to be sold, the sale being effected through a “broker’s transaction” or in transactions directly with a 

   DOCPROPERTY "DOCID" \* MERGEFORMAT AMERICAS/2021321622.6	6

  

  “market maker” and the number of shares being sold during any three-month period not exceeding specified limitations.

  11.Notices.  In the event (i) the Company shall take a record of the holders of the securities at the time receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant for the purpose of entitling them to receive any dividend or other distribution, or any right to subscribe for or purchase any shares of stock of any class or any other securities, or to receive any other right, (ii) of any capital reorganization of the Company, (iii) of any reclassification of the capital stock of the Company, or (iv) of any voluntary dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the Company, then, and in each such case, the Company will mail or cause to be mailed to the Holder a notice specifying, as the case may be, (A) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution or right, and stating the amount and character of such dividend, distribution or right, or (B) the date on which such reorganization, reclassification, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up is to take place, and the time, if any is to be fixed, as of which the holders of the securities at the time receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be entitled to exchange such securities for the securities or other property deliverable upon such reorganization, reclassification, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up.  Such notice shall be given at least ten (10) days prior to the date therein specified.

  12.Miscellaneous.

  a.Governing Law.  THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED IN ALL RESPECTS BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE AS SUCH LAWS ARE APPLIED TO AGREEMENTS BETWEEN DELAWARE RESIDENTS ENTERED INTO AND TO BE PERFORMED ENTIRELY WITHIN DELAWARE, WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICT OF LAWS RULES.

  b.Waivers and Amendments.  This Warrant and any provisions hereof may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated only by an instrument in writing signed by the party against which enforcement of the same is sought.

  c.Assignment.  This Warrant may be assigned or transferred by the Holder only with the prior written approval of the Company.  This Warrant shall be binding upon any successors or assigns of the Company.

  d.Notices.  All notices and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed given if delivered personally, by commercial delivery service, mailed by registered or certified mail (return receipt requested), sent via facsimile (with confirmation of receipt) or electronic mail to the parties at the address for each party as set forth on the signature page hereto (or at such other address for a party as such party may designate pursuant to this Section 14).

  Any party may change any address to which notice is to be given to it by giving notice as provided above or such change of address.

  An electronic communication (“Electronic Notice”) shall be deemed written notice for purposes of this Section 14 if sent with return receipt requested to the electronic mail address specified by the receiving party in a signed writing in a nonelectronic form.

Seller hereby grants to Purchaser, its agents and contractors, reasonable access to the Property for the purpose of conducting surveys, architectural, engineering, geotechnical, and environmental inspections and tests, feasibility studies, and any other inspections, studies or tests reasonably required by Purchaser in connection with Purchaser’s due diligence.  If the Purchaser desires to do any invasive testing at the Property, Purchaser shall submit a work plan outlining the scope of the work to be performed and obtain Seller’s prior written consent to conduct such invasive testing, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.  Purchaser shall permit Seller or its representative to be present to observe any testing or other inspection or due diligence review performed on or at the Property.  If any inspection or test performed by Purchaser or its authorized agents and contractors disturbs the Property, Purchaser will restore the Property to the same condition as existed immediately prior to any such inspection or test.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Purchaser shall not contact any governmental authority or the Tenant without first obtaining the prior written consent of Seller, which consent may be withheld in Seller’s sole discretion, and Seller, at Seller’s election, shall be entitled to have a representative participate in any telephone or other contact made by Purchaser to a governmental authority and present at any meeting by Purchaser with a governmental authority.

  Purchaser and Purchaser’s agents, consultants, representatives and contractors shall maintain at all times during their entry upon the Property, comprehensive general liability insurance with limits of not less than One Million and No/100 Dollars ($1,000,000.00) combined single limit, bodily injury, death and property damage insurance per occurrence.  Each policy of insurance shall name Seller as an additional insured party, with such coverage being primary whether or not the Seller holds other policies of insurance.  If requested by Seller, Purchaser and Purchaser’s agents, consultants, representatives and contractors shall deliver a certificate issued by the insurance carrier of each such policy to Seller prior to entry upon the Property.

  Purchaser agrees to keep the Property free and clear of any liens filed against the Property and to protect, indemnify, defend and hold Seller and its partners, agents, officers, contractors and employees harmless from and against any claim for liabilities, losses, costs, expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), damages, liens or injuries arising out of or resulting from the inspection of, or entry on, the Property by Purchaser or its agents or consultants.  This indemnity shall not extend to, and Seller hereby releases Purchaser from liability for, any claims, damages or other liability resulting from or related to: (a) any existing environmental contamination on the Property, or other deficiencies in the Property, that may be discovered by Purchaser as a result of its investigations except to the extent that contamination or other deficiencies are exacerbated by Purchaser, or (b) any disclosure of such matters by Purchaser or its

  consultants to a governmental agency that may be required by applicable law. Such obligation to indemnify and hold harmless Seller shall survive any termination of this Agreement.  For the avoidance of doubt, the release contained in (a) is only intended to apply during the Due Diligence period and shall be superseded by Section 2.8 upon Closing. 

  2.4Termination.  If Purchaser determines, in its sole judgment and discretion, that the Property is not suitable for Purchaser’s intended use or is otherwise unacceptable for any reason (or for no reason) in Purchaser’s sole judgment and discretion, Purchaser or its counsel shall give Seller written notice of termination on or before the end of the Due Diligence Period.  If such termination notice from Purchaser is not timely given, this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect pursuant to the terms hereof and the Earnest Money shall be deemed nonrefundable to Purchaser except as otherwise specifically provided herein to the contrary.  Notwithstanding anything in this Section 2.4 to the contrary, nothing herein shall be construed to be nor is it intended to be a waiver by Purchaser of any other rights of Purchaser to terminate this Agreement and receive a full refund of the Earnest Money pursuant to an express, unexpired right to do so under this Agreement.  

  2.5Intentionally Deleted.

  2.6Return of Earnest Money.  If Purchaser timely notifies Seller of its decision to terminate this Agreement pursuant to the terms hereof, all of the Earnest Money, less $100 as independent contract consideration (the “Independent Contract Consideration”) to be paid to the Seller, shall be refunded to Purchaser immediately upon request, and all further rights and obligations of the parties under this Agreement shall terminate except for all indemnity obligations of the parties hereto or other provisions of this Agreement that expressly survive the termination of this Agreement.  Seller acknowledges that Purchaser may, but is not obligated to, expend time, money, and other resources in connection with the examination and investigation of the Property, and that, notwithstanding the fact that this Agreement may terminate, the payment of the Independent Contract Consideration, together with such time, money, and other resources that may be expended, constitute adequate consideration for Seller’s execution of and entry into this Agreement.

  Article 3.  TITLE AND SURVEY

  3.1Delivery of Title Commitment and Survey.  Seller, at its expense, shall obtain and deliver to Purchaser within ten (10) days after the Effective Date, (i) a current, effective commitment for title insurance (the “Title Commitment”) issued by the Title Company, in the amount of the Purchase Price, naming Purchaser as the proposed insured, and accompanied by true, complete, and legible copies of all documents referred to in the Title Commitment; and (ii) a copy of the on-the-ground survey of the Property prepared by Bock & Clark Corporation based upon Title Commitment of Chicago Title Insurance Company bearing an effective date of November 12, 2020 (the “Survey”).  Purchaser, at its expense, shall have the right to update the Survey if it so chooses.

  3.2Title Review and Cure.  Purchaser shall notify Seller in writing (the “Title Notice”) at least five (5) days prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, which exceptions to title (including Survey matters), if any, will not be accepted by Purchaser (the “Title Review Period”).  If Purchaser fails to notify Seller in writing of its disapproval of any exceptions to title prior to the expiration of the Title Review Period, Purchaser shall be deemed to have approved the condition of title (including Survey matters) to the Property as then reflected in the Title Commitment and on the Survey, excluding all Monetary Liens (hereinafter defined).  Seller shall notify Purchaser in writing within five (5) business days after its receipt of the Title Notice, indicating which objections to title (and Survey) Seller will cure (the “Cure Notice”).  If Seller fails to timely deliver the Cure Notice to Purchaser, Seller shall be deemed to have elected not to cure any of the objections specified in the Title Notice at or prior to Closing.  Seller shall have no obligation to cure title objections except liens of an ascertainable amount created by, under or through Seller and any mechanics’ and materialmen’s liens (or, at Seller’s election, bond around in accordance with applicable State law and Title Company requirements if the same is being validly contested in good faith) filed against the Property, unless the same arise by, through or under Purchaser, its employees, agents or contractors (“Monetary Liens”).  Purchaser shall have until the expiration of the Due Diligence Period to provide Seller with written notice indicating that either (A) Purchaser waives the objections that Seller has not agreed to cure (whereby such exceptions shall be deemed Permitted Exceptions); or (B) Purchaser elects to terminate this Agreement in which event Purchaser shall receive a prompt refund of the Earnest Money and neither party hereto shall have any further obligations hereunder except for any indemnity provisions or other provisions of this Agreement that specifically survive the termination of this Agreement.  If Seller does not receive such a notice from Purchaser then Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected option (A) above.  Seller agrees to remove any exceptions or encumbrances to title which are created by, under or through Seller after the date of this Agreement and which are not permitted by the terms of this Agreement. As used in this Agreement, the term “Permitted Exceptions” shall mean:

  (a)those matters that either are not objected to in writing within the time period provided in this Section 3.2, or if objected to in writing by Purchaser, are those which Seller has elected not to remove or cure, excluding all Monetary Liens, and subject to which Purchaser has elected or is deemed to have elected to accept the conveyance of the Property;

  (b)the lien of all ad valorem real estate taxes and assessments not yet due and payable as of the Closing, subject to adjustment as herein provided; 

  (c)local, state and federal laws, ordinances or governmental regulations, including but not limited to, building and zoning laws, ordinances and regulations, now or hereafter in effect relating to the Property; and

  (d)the standard pre-printed exceptions to title customarily excepted by title companies in similar transactions.

  3.3Delivery of Title Policy at Closing.  At the Closing, Purchaser shall have the right to obtain a ALTA form Owner Policy of Title Insurance (“Title Policy”) issued by the Title Company, dated the date and time of the recording of the Deed (as hereinafter defined) in the amount of the Purchase Price, insuring Purchaser as owner of good and indefeasible fee simple title to the Property, free and clear of all liens, claims, easements and encumbrances whatsoever, subject only to the Permitted Exceptions.  Seller shall execute, at Closing, an affidavit satisfactory to Purchaser and to the Title Company in order for the Title Company to delete its standard printed exception as to parties in possession, unrecorded liens, and similar matters.  The Title Policy must contain any endorsements that the Title Company has agreed to issue during the Due Diligence Period if the requirements for issuance are satisfied.  The Title Policy may be delivered after the Closing if at the Closing the Title Company issues a currently effective, duly executed “marked-up” Title Commitment and irrevocably commits in writing to issue the Title Policy in the form of the “marked-up” Title Commitment promptly after the Closing Date.

  3.4Title and Survey Costs.  The cost of the Survey shall be paid by Seller with any cost of updating the Survey to be paid by the Purchaser.  The premium for the Title Policy, including the premium for extended coverage (including the cost for the survey deletion) and any endorsements thereto requested by Purchaser or its lender, shall be paid by Purchaser.

Purchaser acknowledges that the Seller Representative is named solely for the purpose of defining and limiting the scope of Seller’s knowledge, and no Seller Representative shall have any personal liability under this Agreement.

  Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.1, in the event that (a) any of Seller’s representations is made “to the knowledge of Seller” and (b) subsequent to the Effective Date information (collectively, the “New Information”) is discovered and presented to Seller, which New Information, if in 

  {01784860.DOCX 9}11

    IF  =  IF 11 = 1 1 00 *  IF  COMPARE  SECTION 1 = "1"  1 = 1 1 010 = 1   DOCPROPERTY "CUS_DocIDChunk0" 39231000.v12 

  

   

  the possession of Seller on the date hereof, would have rendered such Seller’s representation false in a material respect (i.e., if Seller had actual knowledge of the New Information on the Effective Date then such Seller’s representation, as made by Seller, would have been false in a material respect) then, provided that Seller discloses such New Information to Purchaser prior to the Closing Date:  (i) such Seller’s representation shall be deemed to have been remade as of the date such disclosure is made to take such New Information into account, and (ii) such remaking of such Seller’s representation shall not be deemed a breach of such Seller’s representation by Seller; provided, however, that such remaking of such Seller’s representation shall give the Purchaser the right to terminate this Agreement, so long as written notice of the same is delivered within three (3) days after Purchaser’s receipt of the New Information and, in such event, Purchaser shall be entitled to a refund of the Earnest Money as its sole and exclusive remedy. 

  The representations and warranties set forth in Section 6.1 are made as of the Effective Date and, except where expressly limited to the Effective Date, are remade as of the Closing Date and shall not be deemed to be merged into or waived by the instruments of Closing, but shall survive the Closing for a period of one (1) year (the “Survival Period”).  Purchaser shall have the right to bring an action against Seller on the breach of a representation or warranty hereunder, but only on the following conditions:  (i) Purchaser first learns of the breach after Closing and delivers written notice containing a description of the specific nature of such breach to the breaching party within the Survival Period and commences such action for breach within two (2) years of Closing, and (ii) Purchaser shall not have the right to bring a cause of action for a breach of a representation or warranty unless the damage to Purchaser on account of such breach (individually or when combined with damages from other breaches) equals or exceeds $25,000.00.  Seller shall not have any liability after Closing for the breach of a representation or warranty hereunder of which the Purchaser had actual knowledge as of Closing.  The provisions of this Section 6.1 shall survive the Closing.

  6.2Purchaser’s Representations and Warranties.  As a material inducement to Seller to execute this Agreement and consummate this transaction, Purchaser represents and warrants to Seller that:  

  (a)Conflicts.  There is no agreement to which Purchaser is a party or, to Purchaser’s actual knowledge, binding on Purchaser which is in conflict with this Agreement or which would be breached by, or would materially impair, Purchaser’s performance of this Agreement.

  (b)Pending Actions.  There is no action or proceeding pending or, to Purchaser’s knowledge, threatened against Purchaser or the Property or which challenges or impairs Purchaser’s ability to execute, deliver or perform this Agreement. 

  (c)Commissions.  Purchaser has not dealt with any real estate brokers, salespersons or finders in connection with this transaction that would give rise to any liability or obligation to any party hereunder except as set forth in Section 10.2.

  The representations and warranties set forth in Section 6.2 are made as of the Effective Date and, except where expressly limited to the Effective Date, are remade as of the Closing Date and shall not be deemed to be merged into or waived by the instruments of Closing, but shall survive the Closing until the expiration of the Survival Period.  Seller shall have the right to bring an action against Purchaser on the breach of a representation or warranty hereunder, but only on the following conditions:  (i) Seller first learns of the breach after Closing and delivers written notice containing a description of the specific nature of such breach to the breaching party within the Survival Period and commences such action for breach within two (2) years of Closing, and (ii) Seller shall not have the right to bring a cause of action for a breach of a representation or warranty unless the damage to Seller on account of such breach (individually or when combined with damages from other breaches) equals or exceeds $25,000.00.  Purchaser shall not have any

  liability after Closing for the breach of a representation or warranty hereunder of which the Seller had actual knowledge as of Closing.  The provisions of this Section 6.2 shall survive the Closing.  

  Article 7.  CONDEMNATION

  7.1Condemnation.  In the event of any threatened, contemplated, commenced or consummated proceedings in eminent domain prior to the Closing (notice of which shall be given to Purchaser by Seller immediately) respecting any material portion of the Property, Purchaser may, at its option, by notice to Seller given within ten (10) days after Purchaser is notified of such actual or possible proceedings (but before the Closing):  (i) unilaterally terminate this Agreement and all of the Earnest Money shall be immediately returned to Purchaser and all further rights and obligations of the parties under this Agreement shall terminate except as otherwise provided herein; or (ii) proceed under this Agreement, in which event Seller shall, at the Closing, assign or cause the owner of the Property to assign to Purchaser its entire right, title and interest in and to any condemnation award, and Purchaser shall have the right during the pendency of this Agreement to assist in the negotiations and otherwise deal with the condemning authority in respect of such matter.

  7.2Casualty Loss.  If, prior to the Closing Date, all or part of the Property is damaged by fire or by any other cause whatsoever, Seller shall promptly give Purchaser written notice of such damage.  If there is material damage to any portion of the Property, Purchaser may, at its option, by notice to Seller given within ten (10) days after Purchaser is notified of such damage (but before the Closing):  (i) unilaterally terminate this Agreement and all of the Earnest Money shall be immediately returned to Purchaser and all further rights and obligations of the parties under this Agreement shall terminate except as otherwise provided herein; or (ii) proceed under this Agreement.

  Article 8.  REMEDIES

  8.1Earnest Money as Liquidated Damages.  If all of the conditions to Purchaser’s obligation to purchase the Property have been satisfied or waived or deemed waived by Purchaser and if Purchaser should fail to consummate this transaction for any reason other than Seller’s default, or the exercise by Purchaser of an express right of termination granted herein, or if Purchaser otherwise defaults in any of its obligations hereunder prior to the Closing, Seller’s sole and exclusive remedy in such event shall be to terminate this Agreement and to retain $500,000 of the Earnest Money as liquidated damages (the “Liquidated Damages Amount”), Seller waiving all other rights or remedies in connection with Purchaser’s failure to consummate the transaction or a Purchaser default as provided above.  The parties acknowledge that Seller’s actual damages in the event of a failure to consummate the transaction by Purchaser or a Purchaser default under this Agreement will be difficult to ascertain, and that the Liquidated Damages Amount represents the parties’ best estimate of such damages.  For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in the foregoing sentence shall limit Seller’s right to retain all or portion of the Earnest Money as provided in Section 9.4. 

  8.2Purchaser’s Damages.  In the event the sale of the Property as contemplated hereunder is not consummated due to Seller’s default hereunder, and such default continues for more than ten (10) days after written notice from Purchaser, Purchaser shall be entitled, as its sole remedy, either (a) to receive the return of all of the Earnest Money, which return shall operate to terminate this Agreement and release Purchaser and Seller from any and all liability hereunder, or (b) to enforce specific performance of Seller’s obligation to convey the Property to Purchaser in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.  Purchaser expressly waives its rights to seek damages in the event of Seller’s default hereunder.  Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected to terminate this Agreement and receive back all of the Earnest Money if Purchaser fails to file suit for specific performance against Seller in a court having jurisdiction in the county and state 

  {01784860.DOCX 9}13

    IF  =  IF 13 = 1 1 00 *  IF  COMPARE  SECTION 1 = "1"  1 = 1 1 010 = 1   DOCPROPERTY "CUS_DocIDChunk0" 39231000.v12 

  

   

  in which the Property is located, on or before two (2) years following the date upon which Closing was to have occurred.

  8.3Indemnity.  Notwithstanding Sections 8.1 and 8.2 hereof, in no event shall the provisions of Sections 8.1 and 8.2 limit the damages recoverable by either party against the other party due to the other party’s obligation to indemnify such party in accordance with this Agreement.

  Article 9.  SELLER’S COVENANTS

  Seller agrees that during the period from the date hereof through the Closing Date Seller will perform the following covenants:

  9.1Operation.  Except as Purchaser may otherwise consent in writing, until the Closing Date, unless this Agreement is sooner terminated, Seller shall not grant to any third party any interest in the Property or any part thereof or further voluntarily encumber the Property.

  9.2Operating Contracts.  Seller will not, without the prior written consent of Purchaser (which consent may be withheld in Purchaser’s sole discretion), (i) enter into any Operating Contract that will not be fully performed by Seller on or before the Closing Date, or (ii) amend, modify or supplement any existing Operating Contract or permit in any material respect (but Seller shall terminate any of the same which Purchaser does not approve).  Purchaser will have been deemed to have assumed all of the Operating Contracts at Closing unless Purchaser advises Seller in writing prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period of which Operating Contracts it desires to terminate.  Seller shall deliver at Closing notices of termination of all Operating Contracts that are not so assumed.  Purchaser must assume the obligations arising from and after the Closing under those Operating Contracts that Purchaser has agreed to assume.  Purchaser shall not be liable for any termination fees and other fees due for the period after the Closing with respect to any Operating Contracts Seller is obligated to terminate at Closing. 

  9.3Removal of Petroleum and other Hazardous Materials.  Prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, Seller shall remove from the Property any petroleum products, chemicals, pesticides, solvents or other hazardous substances, hazardous waster, toxic substances, pollutants or other hazardous materials (collectively, “Hazardous Materials”) (excluding (i) fertilizer, cleaning agents and other chemical products used in the ordinary course of the business of Seller in compliance with applicable laws and (ii) oil, ink or other chemical residue in the existing wet lines and vessels located on the Property) which to Seller’s knowledge are present on the Property as of the Effective Date.  Seller and Purchaser are aware of the existence on the Property of a number of 55 gallon drums that contain Hazardous Materials and which will be or have been removed in accordance with the foregoing sentence.  Seller will permit Purchaser to inspect the Property for compliance with this provision prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period and shall provide Purchaser with documentary evidence of the removal of all Hazardous Materials subject to this provision.  At or prior to the Closing, Seller will deliver to Purchaser any and all records of Seller, its affiliates or  predecessors, relating to the acquisition, storage, maintenance, use, disposal, removal or destruction of Hazardous Materials at the Property. The covenant of Seller contained in this Section 9.3 shall terminate at Closing and shall not survive Closing.

  9.4Pre-Closing Occupancy.  From the expiration of the Due Diligence Period until the earlier to occur of Closing or the termination of this Agreement, Seller will permit Purchaser to occupy the Property on a rent free, exclusive basis pursuant to the terms of a short term lease or license agreement in a form to be agreed between the parties prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period (“Occupancy Agreement”).  The Occupancy Agreement shall permit the Purchaser to enter onto and occupy the Property, perform work on the Property and Improvements in anticipation of its post-Closing use and operation of the Property and Improvements and to store and install equipment, fixtures and other tangible personal 

  {01784860.DOCX 9}14

    IF  =  IF 14 = 1 1 00 *  IF  COMPARE  SECTION 1 = "1"  1 = 1 1 010 = 1   DOCPROPERTY "CUS_DocIDChunk0" 39231000.v12 

  

   

  property on the Property and Improvements and make modifications to the electrical infrastructure and equipment within the Property, all in Purchaser’s sole discretion.  If for any reason other than a default by Seller, Closing fails to occur on the Closing Date, at  Seller’s election, Purchaser, at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense, shall restore the Property and Improvements to the condition that existed immediately prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period and Purchaser shall promptly remove any and all equipment, fixtures and other tangible personal property located on or at the Property and Improvements.  Except in the event of a Seller default and in addition to Seller’s right to retain the Liquidated Damages Amount in accordance with Section 8.1, Seller may retain the Earnest Money until Purchaser has vacated and restored the Property and Improvements to the condition that existed immediately prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period.  Should Purchaser fail to restore the Property and Improvements to said condition within forty-five (45) days from the termination of this Agreement, and in addition to any amounts Seller may retain in accordance with Section 8.1, Seller may deduct the actual cost of repair and restoration from the Earnest Money and shall return the remainder to Purchaser.  To the extent that the actual cost of repair and restoration is in excess of the Earnest Money (less the amount retained pursuant to Section 8.1), Seller shall be responsible for such excess amounts.

  9.5Duke Lease.   Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain an Estoppel Certificate from Duke Energy confirming that its lease is in full force and effect and that, to the knowledge of tenant, there are no default or breaches thereunder.

  Article 10.  MISCELLANEOUS

  10.1Listing and Other Offers.  During the pendency of this Agreement, Seller may list the Property with any broker or solicit or accept any offers to purchase the Property, or engage in any discussions or negotiations with any third party with respect to the sale of the Property. 

  10.2Commissions.  If and only if, this transaction is closed, Seller shall pay to Jones Lang LaSalle (the “Broker”) a sales commission pursuant to a separate commission agreement between Seller and Broker. Purchaser shall not be liable or responsible for any brokerage fees or commissions to Broker.  If this transaction fails to close for any reason, including the default of either party, no commission shall be deemed to have been earned by or payable to Broker.  Each of the parties represents to each other that it has not retained or used the services of a broker or agent in connection with this transaction other than Broker.  Each party agrees to indemnify and hold the other harmless from any claims of any other brokers or agents for fees or commissions arising out of this transaction attributable to a breach by such party of its representation in the immediately preceding sentence.

  10.3Parties Bound.  This Agreement may not be assigned by Purchaser directly or indirectly (including changes in control of Purchaser) to any party without the prior written consent of Seller; provided that Purchaser may assign its rights under this Agreement to an affiliate of Purchaser without obtaining Seller’s consent so long as Purchaser gives Seller and the Title Company written notice of any such assignment at least five (5) days prior to the Closing Date.  For the purpose of this Section 10.3, an “affiliate of Purchaser” shall mean any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with Purchaser.  Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement and all provisions hereof, including, without limitations, all representations and warranties made hereunder, shall extend to, be obligatory upon and inure to the benefit of the respective heirs, devisees, legal representatives, successors, assigns, and beneficiaries of the parties hereto.  No assignment by either party shall relieve such party of any obligation under this Agreement whether arising before or after such assignment.  

  10.4Headings.  The article and paragraph headings of this Agreement are for convenience only and do not limit or enlarge the scope or meaning of the language hereof.

  10.5Provisions Survive.  The provisions of this Agreement that contemplate performance after Closing shall survive the Closing and shall not be merged into the instruments of Closing.

  10.6Invalidity and Waiver.  If any portion of this Agreement is held invalid or inoperative, then so far as is reasonable and possible the remainder of this Agreement shall be deemed valid and operative, and effect shall be given to the intent manifested by the portion held invalid or inoperative.  The failure by either party to enforce against the other any term or provision of this Agreement shall be deemed not to be a waiver of such party’s right to enforce against the other party the same or any other such term or provision.  

  10.7Governing Law/Jurisdiction/Venue/Jury Waiver.  This Agreement shall be construed and the rights and obligations of Seller and Purchaser hereunder determined in accordance with the internal laws of the State of South Carolina without regard to the principles of choice of law or conflicts of law.  In recognition of the benefits of having any disputes with respect to this Agreement resolved by an experienced and expert person, Seller and Purchaser hereby agree that any suit, action, or proceeding, whether claim or counterclaim, brought or instituted by any party on or with respect to this Agreement or which in any way relates, directly or indirectly, to this Agreement or any event, transaction, or occurrence arising out of or in any way connected with this Agreement or the Property, or the dealings of the parties with respect thereto, shall be tried only by a court and not by a jury.  THE PARTIES HERETO, TO THE FULL EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, HEREBY KNOWINGLY, INTENTIONALLY AND VOLUNTARILY, WITH AND UPON THE ADVICE OF COMPETENT COUNSEL, (A) SUBMIT TO PERSONAL JURISDICTION IN THE STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA OVER ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING BY ANY PERSON ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, (B) AGREE THAT ANY SUCH ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING MAY BE BROUGHT IN ANY STATE OR FEDERAL COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION IN SPARTANBURG COUNTY, SOUTH CAROLINA, (C)  SUBMIT TO THE JURISDICTION OF SUCH COURTS, AND, (D) TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, AGREE THAT NONE OF THEM WILL BRING ANY ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING IN ANY OTHER FORUM.  EACH PARTY HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION, OR PROCEEDING.   

  10.8No Third Party Beneficiary.  This Agreement is not intended to give or confer any benefits, rights, privileges, claims, actions or remedies to any person or entity as a third party beneficiary, decree, or otherwise.  

  10.9Entirety and Amendments.  This Agreement embodies the entire agreement between the parties and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings relating to the Property.  This Agreement may be amended or supplemented only by an instrument in writing executed by the party against whom enforcement is sought.  

  10.10Execution in Counterparts.  For the convenience of the parties any number of counterparts hereof may be executed, and each such executed counterpart shall be deemed an original, and all such counterparts together shall constitute one and the same instrument.  Facsimile or .PDF transmission of an executed counterpart of this Agreement shall be deemed to constitute due and sufficient delivery of such counterpart, and such facsimile or .PDF signatures shall be deemed original signatures for purposes of enforcement and construction of this Agreement.

  10.11Further Assurances.  In addition to the acts and deeds recited herein and contemplated to be performed, executed and/or delivered by Seller to Purchaser at the Closing, Seller agrees to perform, execute and/or deliver or cause to be delivered, executed and/or delivered, but without any obligation to incur any additional liability or expense, after the Closing any and all further acts, deeds and assurances as may be reasonably necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and/or to further perfect

  and deliver to Purchaser the conveyance, transfer and assignment of the Property and all rights related thereto.

  10.12Time.  Time is of the essence in the performance of each and every term, condition and covenant contained in this Agreement.

  10.13Attorneys’ Fees.  Should either party employ attorneys to enforce any of the provisions hereof, the party losing in any final judgment agrees to pay the prevailing party all reasonable costs, charges and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, expended or incurred in connection therewith.  

  10.14Use of Pronouns.  The use of the neuter singular pronoun to refer to Seller and Purchaser shall be deemed a proper reference, even though Seller or Purchaser may be an individual, partnership or a group of two or more individuals.  The necessary grammatical changes required to make the provisions of this Agreement apply in the plural sense where there is more than one seller or purchaser and to either partnerships or individuals (male or female) shall in all instances be assumed as though in each case fully expressed.

  10.19Section 1031 Exchange.

Purchaser shall reasonably cooperate therein, provided that Purchaser shall incur no material costs, expenses or liabilities in connection with Seller’s exchange. Seller shall indemnify, defend and hold Purchaser harmless therefrom and Purchaser shall not be required to take title to or contract for purchase of any other property.

Except as may be required by law, Purchaser will not divulge any such information to other persons or entities, including, without limitation, appraisers, real estate brokers, or competitors of Seller.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser shall have the right to disclose information with respect to the Property to its officers, directors, employees, attorneys, accountants, environmental auditors, appraisers, engineers, potential lenders, and permitted assignees under this Agreement and other consultants to the extent necessary for Purchaser to evaluate its acquisition of the Property provided that all such persons are told that such information is confidential and agree to keep such information confidential.

  (b)After Closing, Seller and Purchaser each shall maintain the confidentiality of this sale and purchase and shall not, except as required by law or governmental regulation applicable to the Property and except in connection with any action or suit under this Agreement, disclose the terms of this Agreement or of such sale and purchase to any third parties whomsoever other than investors or prospective investors in Seller or Purchaser and such other persons whose assistance is required in carrying out the terms of this Agreement.
