from coverage contained in such policy and the Permitted Exceptions (the "Title Policy"); and (b) copies of all title exception documents which are referenced in the Title Commitment (the “Title Review Documents”). All items which are reflected or disclosed on or within the Title Commitment and/or the Title Review Documents are referred to in this Agreement collectively as the “Title Review Items”.
4.02Survey. Seller, with the Property Information, furnished to Purchaser a copy of the existing ALTA survey of the Property sealed by Kyle A. Kocal, RPLS 6652 on November 19, 2024 (the “Survey”). All items which are reflected or disclosed on the Survey are referred to in this Agreement collectively as the “Survey Review Items”. Purchaser may, at its sole cost and expense, elect to update and/or recertify the Survey or obtain a new survey of the Property (any such updated or recertified survey, the “Updated Survey”).
4.03Purchaser’s Review of Title. Purchaser shall, no later than seven (7) days prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period (the “Title Objection Period”) deliver to Seller written notice of any objections which Purchaser has to any of the Title Review Items and/or the Survey Review Items (the “Title Objections”); provided, however, Purchaser shall be deemed to have objected to any Mandatory Cure Items. If Seller does not receive from Purchaser a written notice specifying those items which are Title Objections within the Title Objection Period, then all of the Title Review Items and all of the Survey Review Items shall be considered to be “Permitted Exceptions”. Except for the Mandatory Cure Items, Seller shall not be obligated to cure any of the Title Objections or to incur any costs, fees or expenses or initiate any action to cure or attempt to cure any of the Title Objections except as specifically set forth below. In the event that Seller fails to cause all of the Title Objections to be cured or removed as exceptions to title within five (5) days after receipt of the Title Objections or one (1) business day prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period, whichever is earlier (the “Title Curative Period”), or in the event Seller gives notice that it will not cure any one or more of the Title Objections (the “Refusal Notice”), then Purchaser may, as Purchaser’s sole and exclusive remedy, terminate this Agreement by delivering to Seller a written notice of termination on or before the expiration of the Inspection Period. Alternatively, Purchaser may elect to purchase the Real Property subject to all matters related to the Title Objections which have not been cured or removed. If Purchaser does not exercise its termination option under Section 3.01 above on or before the expiration of the Inspection Period, then Purchaser will be deemed to have waived the Title Objections (other than those which Seller has cured or agrees to cure prior to Closing) and to have waived Purchaser’s right of termination under this Section 4.03, and in such event all Title Objections (other than those which Seller has cured or agrees to cure prior to Closing) shall be deemed to be Permitted Exceptions under this Agreement. The foregoing notwithstanding, Seller agrees to (i) cause its third party liens against the Property referred to on Schedule C of the Title Commitment, together with the HEB Profit Participation Agreement (as hereinafter defined), to be released at or prior to Closing, (ii) to otherwise satisfy all requirements of the Title Company with respect to those items which are set forth on Schedule C of the Title Commitment as applicable to Seller and which do not require action on the part of Purchaser, (iii) pay all ad valorem taxes and assessments and all assessments under recorded documents (including under the Kingwood Declaration) for years prior to the year of Closing, (iv) deliver to Title Company at Closing an affidavit in a form reasonably acceptable to Title Company, sufficient to eliminate any exceptions for leases or rights of parties in possession, other than the parties claiming by or through the Tenant Leases as tenants only, and (v) cure all items which it subsequently agrees in writing to cure (clauses (i) – (v) referred to above being collectively, the “Mandatory Cure Items”). The Mandatory Cure Items do not, however, include any liens securing assessments under the Kingwood Declaration or any lien for ad valorem taxes or other governmental assessments not yet due and payable. Purchaser agrees to execute the waiver of inspection required in connection therewith and to otherwise reasonably cooperate with Seller, at no cost or liability to Purchaser, in order to satisfy all such requirements.
4.04New Title Matters. Purchaser shall have the right to have the Title Commitment updated on or before the date of Closing and raise any additional objections to items not appearing in the original Title Commitment or items appearing in the Updated Survey that do not appear in the Survey, in each case other than those that are expressly contemplated herein or those that are caused by Purchaser or any Purchaser Party (“New Objections”) by written notice to Seller on or before the Closing Date. If Seller shall not correct or remove the defects or objections which Seller has agreed to cure by Closing in accordance with Seller’s Cure Notice, then Purchaser, in Purchaser's sole discretion or judgment, may:
(i)accept the Property with such defects (unless such defects are a Mandatory Cure Item, for which Seller is unequivocally obligated to remove from the Title Commitment such that they do not appear on the Title Policy) by consummating the Closing on the Closing Date (unless such defects are a Mandatory Cure Item, for which Seller is unequivocally obligated to remove from the Title Commitment so that they do not appear on the Title Policy); or
(ii)elect to terminate this Agreement by written notice to Seller on or before the Closing Date, in which event the Earnest Money (less the Independent Contract Consideration), together with any interest earned thereon, shall be returned to Purchaser, and thereupon Purchaser and Seller shall be released and relieved of all further rights, liabilities and obligations hereunder (except those that expressly survive the termination of this Agreement, including the remedies for a Seller or Purchaser default under Article IX).

If the actual amounts to be prorated are not known as of the Closing Date, the proration shall be made on the basis of the best information then available, and thereafter, when actual figures are received, a cash settlement will be made between Seller and Purchaser. Seller shall be obligated to pay any and all taxes and assessments that arise as a result of change in land usage or ownership, including without limitation all "rollback" or other additional taxes.
(b)If the Taxes for the year of Closing are not known as of the Closing Date, the proration for Taxes will be determined based upon the appraised value of the
Property and the tax rates applicable to the Property during the year prior to the calendar year of the Closing.
(c)If the actual amounts to be prorated with respect to expenses other than Taxes are not known as of the Closing Date, the prorations with respect to those expenses shall be made on the best information then available.
(d)With respect to both Taxes and other expenses, after the actual amounts of the Taxes or other expenses are known, adjustments, if needed, will be made between Seller and Purchaser.
(e)The foregoing notwithstanding, it is acknowledged and agreed that the tenants under the HEB Lease, the Tenant Lease with HEB for the fulfillment center (the “HEB Fulfillment Center Lease”), the Tenant Lease with Tres Habernos/Kingwood, Ltd., assignee of RDM, Inc. (the “Lupe Tortilla Lease”) and the Tenant Lease with JPMorgan Chase Bank (the “JPMorgan Chase Lease”) are responsible to pay Taxes applicable to calendar year 2025 and subsequent calendar years for their respective leased premises (each a separate tax parcel) directly to the applicable taxing authority and, accordingly, Taxes for the tax parcels under the HEB Lease, the HEB Fulfillment Center Lease, and the JPMorgan Chase Lease will not be pro-rated at the Closing.
(f)All deposits held by the providers of utility services to the Real Property shall be refunded to the Seller by the appropriate utility providers. Purchaser shall be solely responsible to make arrangements for the continuation of utility services to the Real Property, including without limitation, the obligation to post new utility deposits. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller will not take any action or fail to take any action which would result in the cessation or termination of utility service to the Real Property.
(g)All security deposits required under the terms of the Tenant Leases shall be delivered to Purchaser at the Closing, and Purchaser will assume all liabilities and obligations of Seller in connection with such security deposits. As for any security deposits not in the form of cash (e.g., letters of credit), Seller must deliver to Purchaser at Closing the original letter of credit or other non-cash instrument, together with all transfer documentation and transfer fees required by the issuing entity to cause same to be reissued to Purchaser immediately following the Closing. Seller and Purchaser agree to cooperate to ensure that fully executed Tenant Letters are sent to all of the Tenants at the Property within ten (10) days following the Closing.
(h)All rents collected with respect to the Property as of the Closing Date for the then current month shall be prorated as of the Closing Date. Purchaser shall make a reasonable attempt after Closing to collect uncollected rents for any period prior to Closing (the “Delinquent Rents”) in the usual course of operation of the Property; provided, however, Purchaser shall not be required to declare a lease default or institute any legal action in any court against any Tenant. Seller may not initiate (nor demand that Purchaser initiate) legal proceedings for collection of delinquent rentals against any Tenants. One hundred eighty (180) days after the Closing Date, upon written request from Seller, Purchaser shall provide Seller with a written accounting (the “Uncollected Rents Accounting”) of all of the
Delinquent Rents and all other rents and expenses collected by Purchaser after Closing. Purchaser shall promptly pay to Seller all Delinquent Rents not previously remitted by Purchaser to Seller, but only to the extent Seller is entitled to the same under this section. In making the computations required by this Section, all amounts of Delinquent Rent collected from Tenants shall be applied: (i) first to Purchaser’s actual and reasonable costs of collection, including, without limitation, court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees; (ii) next, to current rental owed by such Tenant; and (iii) finally, to delinquent rentals, if any, owed by such Tenant in the inverse order of their maturity. Seller will deliver to Purchaser, within five (5) business days following receipt, any rents received by Seller after the Closing and attributable to the period from and after the Closing which is available for distribution after application of Delinquent Rents in accordance with priority set forth in the sentence above. If Seller has provided any Tenant with free rent under the terms of its Tenant Lease (the “Free Rent”), then Seller agrees, at the Closing, to provide Purchaser with a credit against the Purchase Price equal to that portion of Free Rent, if any, covering the period after the Closing Date.
(i)Seller, as landlord under the Tenant Leases, is currently collecting from certain Tenants additional rent to cover Taxes, insurance, utilities, maintenance and other operating costs and expenses (collectively, “Reimbursable Tenant Expenses”) incurred by Seller in connection with the ownership, operation, maintenance and management of the Property. Seller agrees to prepare tenant reconciliation statements for Reimbursable Tenant Expenses for calendar year 2025 (“2025 Reconciliation”) for Purchaser’s review. Following closing, Purchaser will transmit to Tenants and bill the Tenants for any amounts due under such reconciliation statements (with copies delivered to Seller) on or prior to the date due under such Tenant Leases. To the extent that landlord is owed any amounts related to Reimbursable Tenant Expenses for 2025 based on such reconciliation statements and Purchaser receives such amounts, Purchaser shall deliver Seller’s pro rata share of such amounts to Seller within five (5) business days following the receipt thereof. If the 2025 Reconciliation reflects that Tenants overpaid Reimbursable Tenant Expenses for 2025, then, at Purchaser’s option, Seller will promptly reimburse each Tenant Seller’s pro rata share of overpayment when Purchaser provides such reconciliation statements along with back up information to Seller, or Purchaser will promptly reimburse each Tenant Seller’s pro rata share of overpayment, and Seller will reimburse Purchaser within fifteen (15) days of a written request with back up documentation supporting such calculation. Seller will cooperate with Purchaser to provide all invoices and other information reasonably necessary for Purchaser to perform such reconciliation attributable to the time period prior to Closing.
(j)All (i) unpaid tenant finish out or construction allowances, landlord construction cost or reimbursement obligations, if any, under the Tenant Leases executed on or prior to Closing (“Unpaid Allowances”), and (ii) unpaid leasing commissions, if any, for Tenant Leases executed on or prior to Closing (“Unpaid Leasing Commissions”), will be credited to Purchaser at the Closing, and Purchaser will assume all liabilities and obligations of Seller in connection with the payment of the Unpaid Allowances and the Unpaid Leasing Commissions to the extent included in such credit.
The provisions of this Section 5.05 shall survive the Closing.
5.06Section 1031 Exchange. Either Party (the "Exchanging Party") may consummate the sale and purchase of the Real Property as part of a so-called like kind exchange (the "Exchange") pursuant to Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"); provided that: (a) the Closing shall not be delayed or affected by reason of the Exchange; (b) the consummation of the Exchange will not be a condition precedent or condition subsequent to the obligations of either Party under this Agreement; (c) the Exchanging Party shall effectuate the Exchange through an assignment of its rights under this Agreement to a qualified intermediary; (d) the other Party ("Non-Exchanging Party") shall not be required to take an assignment of any purchase agreement for replacement property or be required to acquire or hold title to any replacement property for purposes of consummating the Exchange; (e) the Non-Exchanging Party shall not be required to incur any cost or liability in connection with the Exchange; and (f) the Non-Exchanging Party shall not by this Agreement or by the acquiescence of the Non-Exchanging Party to the Exchange: (i) have its rights under this Agreement affected or diminished in any manner; or (ii) be responsible for compliance with or be deemed to have warranted to Exchanging Party that the Exchange in fact complies with Section 1031 of the Code.

If Purchaser fails to respond within such five (5) day period, then Purchaser will be deemed to have approved the Tenant Estoppel at issue. If Seller is unable, for any reason, to deliver to Purchaser Tenant Estoppels that are either in material compliance with the Rent Roll and the applicable prescribed form for such Tenant Estoppel or are approved or deemed approved by Purchaser in accordance with this Section 7.02 covering (a) the HEB Lease, the HEB Fulfillment Center Lease, the JPMorgan Chase Lease and the Lupe Tortilla Lease (each a “Major Tenant” and collectively, the “Major Tenants”), and (b) at least 70% of the net rentable square footage of all Tenants in the Property, including the Major Tenants, under existing Tenant Leases and with none of the Tenant Estoppels containing Adverse Disclosures (the “Tenant Estoppels Requirement”) on or before the second (2nd) business day prior to the Closing Deadline, then, Purchaser, as Purchaser’s sole and exclusive remedy, shall have the right to either: (i) terminate this Agreement, in which event the Earnest Money will be refunded to Purchaser and neither Party shall have any further rights, remedies or obligations under this Agreement except obligations and rights that expressly survive any termination of this Agreement; or (ii) waive the Tenant Estoppels Requirement and proceed with the Closing. Purchaser must exercise option (i) or option (ii) of
the immediately preceding sentence by written notice to Seller on or before the Closing Deadline. If Purchaser fails to exercise such option on or before the Closing Deadline, then Purchaser will be deemed to have exercised option (ii) set forth above. If, however, Seller provides Purchaser with Tenant Estoppels that satisfies the Tenant Estoppels Requirement on or before the second (2nd) business day prior to the Closing Deadline, then this Condition Precedent will be satisfied.
7.03HEB Memorandum of Profit Participation Agreement. On or before Closing, Seller must deliver to the Title Company a release of the HEB Profit Participation Agreement so that at Closing the Title Company will file such release and remove that certain Memorandum of Profit Participation Agreement recorded as Document No. 2018077190, Official Public Records of Montgomery County, Texas (the “HEB Memorandum of Profit Participation Agreement”) as an exception to title to the Property.
7.04Title Estoppels. On or before Closing, Seller will deliver to Purchaser, each dated after the Effective Date but no earlier than thirty (30) days prior to the Closing Deadline: (i) an estoppel certificate under the HEB Declaration executed by HEB in the form, in all material respects, attached hereto as Exhibit “J” that does not disclose any material defaults of Seller or the Property (the “HEB Declaration Estoppel”), and (ii) an estoppel certificate under the Kingwood Declaration executed by Kingwood Place West Community Association, Inc. in the form, in all material respects, attached hereto as Exhibit “K” that does not disclose any material defaults of Seller or the Property (the “Kingwood Declaration Estoppel”).
7.05Fire and Life Safety. On or before the five (5) business days prior to the Closing, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser evidence reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser of inspections conducted by a third party fire prevention inspector with no deficiencies noted of the fire and life safety issues identified in Exhibit “F” attached hereto.
7.06Conditions Precedent. The obligation of Purchaser to consummate the transaction contemplated under this Agreement is expressly subject to and conditioned upon: (i) satisfaction or waiver of the Tenant Estoppels Requirement; and (ii) the requirements set forth in Sections 7.03, 7.04 and 7.05 being satisfied by Seller. The Conditions Precedent may be waived by Purchaser in its sole and absolute discretion. If the Conditions Precedent are not all satisfied or waived by Purchaser on or before the Closing Date, then, as Purchaser’s sole remedy, this Agreement will terminate, in which event the Earnest Money (less the Independent Contract Consideration) will be refunded to Purchaser and neither Party shall have any further rights, remedies or obligations under this Agreement except obligations and rights that expressly survive any termination of this Agreement.
VIII.
Condemnation and Casualty
8.01Condemnation. If prior to Closing, any governmental or other entity having condemnation authority shall institute an eminent domain proceeding with regard to the Property or any part thereof, then Seller, upon receiving written notice of such action, shall promptly deliver written notice to Purchaser thereof. Purchaser may, at its option, within twenty (20) days of such notice by Seller (but in no event later than the Closing Date), terminate this Agreement by delivering written notice thereof to Seller in which event this Agreement will terminate, and the Parties will have no further rights and obligations hereunder other than the Post Termination Obligations (defined below). If Purchaser fails to so terminate this Agreement within such 20 day period, then this Agreement will remain in full force and effect, Purchaser will be deemed to have waived such right of termination, and Seller will assign all of Seller’s right, title and interest in and to such condemnation proceeds to Purchaser (or pay to Purchaser if such proceeds have been collected) at Closing.
8.02Casualty. If any portion of the Property is damaged or destroyed prior to Closing, then Purchaser may, within fifteen (15) days after receipt from Seller of written notice of such damage or destruction (but in no event later than the Closing Deadline provided that if the casualty occurs within fifteen (15) days of the Closing Deadline, then the Closing Deadline will be extended to the date that is the fifth (5th) business day after the expiration of the fifteen (15) day period from notice of casualty from Seller to Purchaser), elect to either: (a) terminate this Agreement; or (b) close the acquisition hereunder, in which event Seller shall at Closing credit on the Purchase Price all insurance proceeds paid for such damages and proceeds of rent loss insurance and credit the Purchase Price with the amount of any deductibles associated therewith. If insurance proceeds have not been awarded as of the Closing Date, then Seller will diligently prosecute such insurance claim after Closing and will remit such proceeds to Purchaser promptly upon receipt of same and such obligation will survive Closing. Seller will promptly notify Purchaser in writing if Seller becomes aware of any such damage or destruction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, if the damage to the Property can be repaired for $500,000.00 or less and such casualty would not permit one or more Tenants with an aggregate rentable square footage of 10,000 square feet or more to terminate its Tenant Lease(s) or abate any rent thereunder, both as reasonably determined by Purchaser, then Purchaser will not have the option to terminate this Agreement under clause (a) of the immediately preceding sentence, but rather the Parties shall proceed to Closing under the terms and provisions of clause (b) of the immediately preceding sentence. If Purchaser exercises its option to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.02, then this Agreement will terminate, and the Parties will have no further rights and obligations hereunder other than the Post Termination Obligations.
IX.
Remedies
9.01Purchaser’s Default and Seller’s Remedies: If Purchaser fails to close the transaction contemplated by this Agreement for any reason (except for a Seller breach or default or the permitted termination of this Agreement by Purchaser or Seller as herein expressly provided) and Seller is not in default of its obligations hereunder in any material respect, then Seller may, as Seller’s sole and exclusive remedy, terminate this Agreement and recover or retain the Earnest Money as liquidated damages for the failure or refusal by Purchaser (“Acquisition Default”). In the event of an Acquisition Default by Purchaser, the Earnest Money will be delivered to or retained by Seller as liquidated damages, and not a penalty, in full satisfaction of Seller’s claims against Purchaser with respect to the Acquisition Default. Seller and Purchaser agree that it is difficult to determine the actual amount of Seller’s damages arising out of an Acquisition Default by Purchaser, but the amount of the Earnest Money is a fair estimate of those damages which has been agreed to by the Parties in a sincere effort to make the damages certain. Seller has no right to specifically enforce Purchaser's obligations under this Agreement nor to seek or otherwise collect any actual, out-of-pocket, lost profit, punitive, consequential, treble, or other damages from or against Purchaser. In no event shall any officer, director, agent or employee of Purchaser or its members be personally liable for any of Purchaser's obligations under this Agreement or the documents to be delivered at the Closing. Purchaser’s indemnity obligation under Section 1 of the Access Agreement or under Section 11.01 of this Agreement, Purchaser’s responsibility for its Post Termination Obligations and Purchaser’s liability for costs under Section 9.06 below will not be subject to this Section 9.01 (except the previous sentence hereof) and Seller is entitled to all legal and equitable rights and remedies for those provisions.
9.02Seller’s Default and Purchaser’s Remedies. Except for exclusive remedies otherwise specified Articles VI and VII above, if Seller fails or refuses to timely comply, beyond any notice and cure periods, with Seller’s obligations under this Agreement, and if Purchaser is not in default of any of Purchaser's obligations hereunder in any material respect, then Purchaser may, as Purchaser’s sole and
exclusive remedy, either: (i) terminate this Agreement by giving Seller timely written notice of such election prior to or at Closing, receive a refund of its Earnest Money hereunder, and seek reimbursement of the third party out-of-pocket costs (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees) incurred by Purchaser in connection with the negotiation and administration of this Agreement and performing its due diligence and other investigation of the Property and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in an amount in no event to exceed $100,000 (such costs as capped at $100,000 is referred to herein as “Third Party Costs”); (ii) waive said failure or breach and proceed to Closing without any reduction in Purchase Price; or (iii) enforce specific performance of Seller’s obligations under this Agreement if and only if Purchaser complies with all of the preconditions and requirements set out below. Prior to Seller being obligated to pay Third Party Costs under any provision of this Agreement requiring payment of Third Party Costs to Purchaser, Purchaser must provide Seller commercially reasonable documentary evidence of such costs incurred by Purchaser.
Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, it is specifically agreed and understood that, for Purchaser to enforce specific performance of Seller’s obligations under this Agreement or to place a lis pendens on the Property or otherwise encumber the Property Purchaser must (i) unless Seller’s actions or communications indicates it does not intend to perform under this Agreement, timely tender substantial performance under this Agreement, except to the extent such performance is frustrated by any action or failure to act by Seller; and (ii) institute within thirty (30) days after the Closing Deadline, an action in a court with jurisdiction and in the venue specified under this Agreement seeking to enforce specific performance of Seller’s obligations under this Agreement. PURCHASER HERBY WAIVES ALL RIGHTS WHICH PURCHASER HAS OR MAY HAVE TO ENFORCE SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE OF SELLER’S OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT AND/OR TO PLACE A LIS PENDENS ON THE PROPERTY WITHOUT SATISFYING THE REQUIREMENTS AND CONDITIONS SET OUT IN THIS PARAGRAPH.
9.03Notice and Opportunity to Cure. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Non-Curable Default” shall mean and refer to: (a) any default by Purchaser to deliver the Earnest Money on a timely basis as required under this Agreement; and/or (b) any failure by Purchaser to deliver to Title Company, on or before the Closing Date, all funds, documents and other items required to be delivered by Purchaser under this Agreement in order to close the transaction under this Agreement; and/or (c) any failure by Seller to deliver to Title Company, on or before the Closing Date, all funds, documents and other items required to be delivered by Seller under this Agreement in order to close the transaction under this Agreement. In the event of any default under this Agreement (other than a Non-Curable Default) by either Party (the “Defaulting Party”) the other Party (the “Non-Defaulting Party”) will not exercise any of such Non-Defaulting Party’s rights or remedies under this Agreement until and unless the Non-Defaulting Party has provided to the Defaulting Party a written notice of the default or defaults of the Defaulting Party (the “Default Notice”) and the Defaulting Party has failed to cure the default or defaults specified in the Default Notice within ten (10) days after the date of the Non-Defaulting Party’s delivery of the Default Notice. In the event of any Non-Curable Default, the Non-Defaulting Party may, at the Non-Defaulting Party’s option and election, afford notice and opportunity to cure to the Defaulting Party, but it is expressly agreed and understood that the Non-Defaulting Party has no duty to afford any such notice or opportunity to cure to the Defaulting Party. Rather, the Non-Defaulting Party may, if the Non-Defaulting Party so elects, exercise any right or remedy which the Non-Defaulting Party may have with respect to any Non-Curable Default, without necessity of providing to the Defaulting Party any notice or opportunity to cure.
9.04Purchaser’s Post Termination Obligations. If this Agreement is terminated for any reason (either by Purchaser or by Seller), then Purchaser shall: (a) restore the Property to the condition which existed prior to any inspections, tests or other activities of Purchaser and/or any of the Purchaser Parties, but only to the extent of damage caused by Purchaser and/or any of the Purchaser Parties; (b) destroy all
of the Property Information to Seller; (c) authorize the release of the full amount of the Independent Contract Consideration (to the extent and only to the extent that the same has not been previously delivered by Title Company to Seller); (d) remove all liens against the Property which have arisen due to any activities of Purchaser or any of the Purchaser Parties; and (e) indemnify and hold Seller harmless from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, claims and costs of any kind or nature (including court costs and reasonable attorneys' fees) to the extent arising out of or in connection with any activities of the Purchaser and/or the Purchaser Parties upon or within the Property INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ALL LIABILITIES, OBLIGATIONS, CLAIMS AND COSTS ARISING OUT OF ANY NEGLIGENCE ON THE PART OF SELLER, IT BEING EXPRESSLY AGREED AND UNDERSTOOD THAT PURCHASER IS AGREEING TO INDEMNIFY SELLER FROM CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF SELLER’S OWN SIMPLE (BUT NOT GROSS) NEGLIGENCE (except as set forth in Section 3.03). All of the obligations of Purchaser under the immediately preceding sentence are referred to in this Agreement collectively as the “Post Termination Obligations”; the obligations of Purchaser under clauses (a), (b), and (c) of the immediately preceding sentence are referred to in this Agreement as the “Immediately Performable Post Termination Obligations”; and the obligations of Purchaser under clauses (d) and (e) of the immediately preceding sentence are referred to in this Agreement as the “Other Post Termination Obligations”. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, the Post Termination Obligations shall survive any termination of this Agreement, and the Post Termination Obligations shall not (regardless of any liquidated damages provisions in this Agreement) be deemed to be satisfied in whole or in part by the delivery to Seller of all or any portion of the Earnest Money.
9.05Disposition of the Earnest Money. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, the provisions in this Agreement relating to the Earnest Money shall survive any termination of this Agreement.
(a)If the sale and purchase of the Property is consummated under the terms and provisions of this Agreement, then the Earnest Money will be credited and applied against the cash sums which are payable by Purchaser at the Closing.
(b)If this Agreement is terminated under the terms and provisions of Sections 3.01, 4.03, 4.04, 6.01, 7.06, 8.01 or 8.02 of this Agreement, the Earnest Money will be promptly disbursed to Purchaser.
(c)If Seller terminates this Agreement under the terms and provisions of Section 9.01 of this Agreement, then the Earnest Money will be retained by and/or promptly disbursed to Seller after such termination.
(d)If Purchaser terminates this Agreement under the terms and provisions of Section 9.02 of this Agreement, then the Earnest Money will be retained by and/or promptly disbursed to Purchaser after such termination.
9.06Enforcement Costs. In the event of any dispute between the Parties arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, the prevailing Party in such dispute shall be entitled to recover from the non-prevailing Party all of the prevailing Party’s costs and expenses in connection with such dispute, including without limitation court costs, expert witness fees and reasonable attorney’s fees.
9.07Post-Closing Limitation of Liability. Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that (i) the members, affiliates, officers, directors, investment managers, employees, partners, agents and advisors of Seller do not assume any personal liability for obligations entered into by or on behalf of Seller, and (ii) in no event shall Seller have any liability for lost profits, speculative, special, consequential or punitive
damages. In addition, for purposes of this Agreement, the term “Covered Matters” means and refers to any breach of an express representation, warranty or covenant by Seller under this Agreement or under any of the closing documents of this Agreement which breach: (1) is in existence on the Closing Date; and (2) is not within the actual knowledge of Purchaser or disclosed by the Property Information. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, Purchaser’s rights to recover damages from Seller for a Covered Matter are subject to the following limitations, agreements and requirements: Except for the Carve Outs (defined below), in no event will Seller's liability under or otherwise in connection with this Agreement, any documents executed in connection herewith and/or otherwise in connection with the Property exceed the sum of Five Hundred Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($500,000.00) (“Seller’s Maximum Liability”), and Purchaser shall have no right to assert any claim against Seller, and Seller shall have no liability to Purchaser whatsoever, unless the valid claims for all breaches of Seller collectively aggregate more than Fifty Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($50,000.00). The foregoing limitations will not apply to the extent of damages or losses incurred by Purchaser due to breaches of the warranties of title set forth in the Deed or breaches of Seller’s obligation under Section 5.05 or Section 11.01(a) hereof (collectively, the “Carve Outs”). Seller covenants that until the expiration of the Claim Period (defined below) and for so long thereafter until all claims made by Purchaser during the Claim Period in accordance with this Article 9 and Section 12.01 below have been finally resolved and paid, if applicable, Seller shall (i) remain an entity in good standing in the State of Texas and not legally dissolve, and (ii) maintain (and not disburse to Seller’s partners, members, or investors) a tangible net worth of at least the amount of the Seller’s Maximum Liability. The terms and provisions of this Section 9.07 shall survive until such claim is resolved.

12.16Exculpation. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary (other than the proviso below), it is agreed and understood that Purchaser shall look solely to the assets of Seller in the event of any breach or default by Seller under this Agreement, and not to the assets of: (a) any person or entity which is a member, manager or partner in Seller, if Seller is a limited liability company or a partnership, or which otherwise owns or holds any ownership interest in Seller, directly or indirectly (each such partner or other holder or owner of any interest in Seller being referred to herein as a "Subtier Owner"); (b) any person or entity which is a member, manager or partner in or otherwise owns or holds any ownership interest in any Subtier Owner, whether directly or indirectly; (c) any person or entity serving as an officer, director, employee or otherwise for or in Seller; or (d) any person or entity serving as an officer, director, employee or otherwise for or in any Subtier Owner. This Agreement is executed by one or more persons (the "Signatories", whether one or more) of Seller solely in their capacities as representatives of the Seller or a Subtier Owner of Seller and not in their own individual capacities. Purchaser hereby releases and relinquishes the Signatories from any and all personal liability for any matters or claims of any kind which arise under or in connection with or as a result of this Agreement. The foregoing release of liability shall be effective with respect to and shall apply to all claims against any members, managers and partners of Seller (if Seller is a limited liability company or a partnership) and any members, managers and partners of any Subtier Owner (if such Subtier Owner is a limited liability company or a partnership) regardless of whether such claims arise as a result of any liability which the Signatories may have as members, managers or partners of the Seller or any Subtier Owner, or otherwise. Seller acknowledges that Seller’s obligations with respect to any covenant, indemnity, representation or warranty under this Agreement which expressly survives the Closing shall be considered a liability for purposes of any member distribution limitation imposed under applicable Texas limited liability laws.

purposes. All executed counterparts of this instrument shall be deemed to be originals, but all such counterparts, when taken together, shall constitute one and the same agreement.
12.18Acceptance Deadline. The execution of this Agreement by Seller shall constitute an offer by Seller to sell the Property to Purchaser on the terms and conditions stated in this Agreement. In order for Purchaser to effectively accept Seller’s offer, Purchaser must, prior to 5:00 p.m., Houston, Texas time, on the date which is exactly two (2) business days following the date of Seller's execution of this Agreement (the “Acceptance Deadline”): (a) properly and fully execute this Agreement without any modifications or changes; (b) deliver a copy of such fully executed and unmodified version of this Agreement to Seller to Purchaser and Title Company by telecopy or electronic mail.
