(a) Ad valorem taxes shall be prorated as of Closing.

West Plano Land — Diodes Contract of Sale

Seller shall be responsible for any such taxes and interest thereon for periods prior to Closing. Seller shall pay to or credit Purchaser at Closing the amount of “rollback” taxes, including, without limitation, interest and penalties for all periods prior to the date of Closing, which Seller and Purchaser reasonably determine as of the Closing would have been due and payable as if the change of usage of the Property was made as of the date of Closing and thereafter, Purchaser shall be responsible for paying such “rollback taxes” when they become due and payable.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, provided that Seller has made an agricultural use exemption through the Closing Date, prorations for the tax year in which the Closing Date occurs shall be calculated based on ad valorem taxes assessed as if the agricultural use exemption had remained in place throughout the such tax year. Assessments related to the Legacy Association will additionally be prorated as of the Closing, will be deemed to be final and no further adjustments will be required. The obligations of the parties in this Section 8.04 shall survive the Closing of this Contract.

(b) In the event that the Purchaser elects to maintain the agricultural use exemption for a period of time after Closing, Seller’s obligation to pay any “roll back” taxes with respect thereto shall not exceed the amount that would have been due had the “roll back” taxes been calculated based upon a change in use or ownership as of the Closing Date.

SECTION 9
EXCLUSIVE REMEDIES OF PURCHASER

If any of Seller’s representations is inaccurate as of Closing, or if Seller fails to perform any of its obligations hereunder (except Seller’s failure after Closing to perform its Surviving Obligations) and such inaccuracy or failure is not cured within seven (7) business days after Seller receives Purchaser’s notice in writing of such inaccuracy or failure, Purchaser’s sole and exclusive remedies shall be either to: (a) terminate this Contract; whereupon, the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Money shall immediately be returned to Purchaser, and, except for the Surviving Obligations, neither party shall have any further rights, obligations, or remedies under this Contract; or (b) file a lawsuit against Seller in Collin County, Texas, to enforce specific performance of this Contract

West Plano Land — Diodes Contract of Sale

(which suit must be filed within two (2) years and one day after the scheduled date of Closing as set forth in Section 8.01 hereof; otherwise, Purchaser shall be deemed to have unconditionally waived its right to ▇▇▇ for specific performance). Except for Seller’s failure after Closing to perform any of its Surviving Obligations, Purchaser unconditionally waives its right to pursue any other remedies against Seller including, but not limited to, actual, consequential, special, incidental, and punitive damages.

SECTION 10
EXCLUSIVE REMEDY OF SELLER

If any of Purchaser’s representations is inaccurate as of the Closing, or if Purchaser fails to perform any of its obligations hereunder (except Purchaser’s failure after Closing to perform its Surviving Obligations) and such failure is not cured within seven (7) business days after Seller notifies Purchaser thereof in writing, Seller’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be to terminate this Contract and receive the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Money as liquidated damages (the foregoing notice and cure period does not, however, apply to the failure by Purchaser to deposit the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Money as provided in this Contract). Purchaser acknowledges that payment of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Money to Seller pursuant to this Section 10 does not constitute a penalty. Purchaser further acknowledges that the actual damages suffered by Seller for Purchaser’s breach are incapable of exact calculation and that the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Money represents a sum that is a reasonable estimate of what Seller’s actual damages might be. Except for Purchaser’s failure after Closing to perform any of its Surviving Obligations, Seller unconditionally waives it right to pursue other remedies against Purchaser including, but not limited to, actual, consequential, special, incidental, and punitive damages. Upon termination of this Contract pursuant to this Section 10, the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Money shall be paid to Seller, and except for the Surviving Obligations, neither party shall have any further rights, obligations, or remedies under this Contract.

SECTION 11

West Plano Land — Diodes Contract of Sale

understandings and agreements between Seller and Broker with regard to the Property). Broker is not otherwise a party to this Contract, and with the exception of an amendment to this Section 11.01 that directly affects Broker’s rights, this Contract may be amended or terminated without notice to or the consent of Broker.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, Purchaser may assign its interest under this Contract upon five (5) days written notice to Seller prior to Closing to an affiliate, subsidiary or parent company without Seller’s consent so long as (a) such assignee is, directly or indirectly, managed and/or controlled by Purchaser or is an affiliate which is owned by Purchaser or its ultimate parent and which is controlled by Purchaser or its ultimate parent; and (b) Purchaser provides Seller with the name and, if requested by Seller, copies of the organizational documents for such assignee as filed with the applicable Secretary of State or other governmental authority and provides Seller with any other information that Seller may reasonably request with respect to the proposed assignee at least three (3) business days in advance of the Closing Date. Purchaser shall in no event be released from any of its obligations or liabilities hereunder as a result of any assignment. The obligations of Purchaser under this Section 11.02 shall survive the Closing and shall not be merged therein. Whenever reference is made in this Contract to Seller or Purchaser, such reference shall include the successors and assigns of such party under this Contract.

11.03 Deed Restriction. The Property is being conveyed to Purchaser by Seller for the purposes of construction and operation of an office headquarters building for Purchaser and to be substantially occupied by Purchaser or its successor and its employees and certain ancillary uses associated with such office headquarters use as described in the Deed Restriction (as hereafter defined), and at Closing the Purchaser and Seller will execute and record the Deed which shall create a deed restriction (the “Deed Restriction”) covering the Property and containing the following covenant, in which Seller will be referred to as “Grantor” and Purchaser as “Grantee”: “Grantee will construct, occupy and operate improvements on the Property for use as an office headquarters and ancillary uses associated with such office headquarters use that primarily serve and benefit the occupants in the improvements on the Property (e.g. tenant employee cafeteria, deli, gift shop, lobby banking, etc.). Without limiting the foregoing, it is specifically agreed that the Property may not be used for (i) commercial office building development (as hereafter defined) other than as specifically provided in this Section 11.03, (ii) any retail intended to serve and benefit the general public, or motor or drive-through banking, (iii) restaurant (intended to primarily serve and benefit the general public outside of the occupants of the improvements on the Property), (iv) hotel, (v) town home and multi-family residential development, (vi) free-standing restaurant and/or retail pads, and (vii) medical office condominiums.

Further, any office headquarters building constructed on the Property must otherwise be incompliance with the

West Plano Land — Diodes Contract of Sale

Declarations applicable to the Property (and thus shall be subject to approval by the Legacy Association’s Design Review Board) and must be designed and constructed with an exterior appearance at least comparable to first class office buildings on other properties in the vicinity of the Property. These restrictions will be binding upon, and will be a covenant running with the land as to the Property and will remain in effect until the earlier of (a) recordation in the real property records of Collin County, Texas of a written release of this covenant executed by Grantor and Grantee, or (b) fifteen (15) years after the date of the deed; provided, however, notwithstanding the foregoing, the restriction prohibiting commercial office building development other than as an office headquarters of Purchaser and leasing to unaffiliated third parties will remain in effect only until the earlier of (i) recordation in the real property records of Collin County, Texas of a written release of such commercial office building development restriction, or (ii) ten (10) years after the date of the deed.

In that regard, Purchaser has been advised and acknowledges that the Declaration and the Association Declaration provide, among other things, that: (i) owners of property within the area covered by the Declaration will be members of a property owners’ association known as the Legacy Association (the “Association”), and liable for the payment of general and special assessments; and (ii) prior to the commencement of construction on the Property by Purchaser, the proposed plans for construction must be reviewed and approved by Seller and the Association’s design review board (the “DRB”).

(b) Prior to the commencement of any development on the Property, Purchaser shall prepare a preliminary plan for development of the Property (collectively, the “Development Plans”), which shall address planned infrastructure, grading, and drainage and schematic plans for any buildings, walls, or other vertical structures to be constructed by Purchaser on the Property (including typical detail such as site plan, exterior elevations, color palettes, roofing shapes and materials, and external finish specifications; but not including interior spaces and interior utility and other service information). The Development Plans will reflect application of the Declaration and all existing design guidelines promulgated pursuant thereto to the improvements which will be built by or on behalf of Purchaser, it being acknowledged by Purchaser, however, that the Declaration is, by its nature, general in scope and that all aspects of the Development Plans are subject to Seller’s review and approval as herein provided, whether or not specifically addressed in the Declaration. The review and approval of the Development Plans by Seller as provided herein is in addition to, and not in lieu of, approval by the DRB of the matters over which such body has approval rights

West Plano Land — Diodes Contract of Sale

pursuant to the Declaration, but Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain approval of Purchaser’s Development Plans by the DRB within thirty (30) days after Purchaser submits same. In addition, it is understood and agreed that Purchaser may submit its Development Plans to the DRB and Seller at the same time and in such case, Seller agrees to review Purchaser’s Development Plans concurrently with the DRB’s review of the Development Plans.

(c) Purchaser and Seller will negotiate in good faith to reach mutual agreement on an acceptable level of specificity and/or finality for the Development Plans prior to commencement of construction of the improvements (the period commencing on the date hereof and ending on such date being herein referred to as the “Plan Approval Period”).

(d) After preparation of the Development Plans by Purchaser and approval thereof by Seller and the DRB, it shall be Purchaser’s sole responsibility to obtain any necessary governmental permits and approvals, including, but not limited to, the approval and filing of preliminary and final plats, as may be required to permit Purchaser to proceed with its contemplated development.

(e) Purchaser acknowledges that the name “Legacy” is a registered trademark owned by EDS Information Services L.L.C. (“EDS”). In the event Purchaser desires to use the name “Legacy” or any derivation thereof in connection with the Property, Purchaser may do so only pursuant to a Trademark License Agreement in form and substance satisfactory to EDS.

Purchaser acknowledges that EDS is under no obligation to license the name “Legacy” to Purchaser or any other party.

(f) The provisions of this Section 11.04 shall survive the Closing and shall be referred to in the Deed.

11.05 Right of Repurchase.

(a) The Property is being conveyed to Purchaser for the uses permitted by Section 11.03 hereof, as contemplated in the Development Plans for the Property heretofore approved by Seller (the “Project”) and any further detailed plans approved by the DRB pursuant to the Declaration. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, Seller reserves and shall have the exclusive and irrevocable option to repurchase the Property and all improvements thereon (the “Repurchase Option”) under one of the two (2) following opportunities and for a purchase price (the “Repurchase Price”) determined as follows:

(i) If Purchaser has failed to commence construction of the Project within eighteen (18) months after the date of the Deed, subject to extension for delays caused by unusually adverse weather conditions, strikes, unavailability of labor or materials, war, acts of the public enemy, or other such events or circumstances beyond Purchaser’s reasonable control (collectively, “Force Majeure”), and provided that any delays in commencement of construction beyond such eighteen (18) month period are not due to a breach by the Development Manager

West Plano Land — Diodes Contract of Sale

(as defined in Section 11.25 below) of the Development Agreement (as defined in Section 11.25 below), then Seller may elect to repurchase the Property by delivering written notice of Seller’s election (a “Repurchase Notice”) to Purchaser not later than thirty (30) days following the Construction Commencement Deadline (as hereafter defined). In order for Purchaser to avail itself of such extension for Force Majeure, Purchaser must notify Seller within sixty (60) days of the date on which Purchaser obtains actual knowledge of the occurrence of the event that constitutes Force Majeure (the “Force Majeure Notice”). The date of expiration of such eighteen (18) month period, as extended by Force Majeure, is referred to herein as the “Construction Commencement Deadline”). If Seller elects to repurchase the Property pursuant to this Section 11.05(a)(i), the Repurchase Price will be in an amount equal to the sum of: (a) the Purchase Price paid by Purchaser to Seller for the Property minus (b) the amounts of any rollback credits provided by Seller to Purchaser in connection with the initial closing of the sale of the Property to Purchaser, plus (c) an amount equal to all costs and expenses (other than the Purchase Price) incurred by Purchaser in connection with the acquisition of the Property and/or the proposed development thereof, including without limitation, environmental, engineering, architectural, consulting, financing and attorneys fees and expenses, interest paid under any acquisition and/or construction financing, commissions, title, property and liability insurance premiums and expenses, and all other expenses incurred by Purchaser in connection with the acquisition or proposed development of the Property, as reasonably evidenced by Purchaser to Seller, including, but not limited to, invoices, contracts, and billing statements (collectively, the “Land Acquisition Costs”), provided however, that in no event will the Repurchase Price for the Property under this clause (i) be an amount in excess of 110% of the Purchase Price; or

(ii) If Purchaser commences construction of the Project on the Property prior to the Construction Commencement Deadline but has failed to substantially complete construction of the building shell for the Project within thirty-six (36) months after the date of the Deed, subject to extension for delays caused by Force Majeure, as provided in a Force Majeure Notice, then provided that any delays in the substantial completion of construction beyond such thirty-six (36) month period are not due to a breach by the Development Manager of the Development Agreement Seller may elect to repurchase the Property by delivering a Repurchase Notice to Purchaser not later than thirty (30) days following the Construction Completion Deadline (hereafter defined). The date of expiration of such thirty-six (36) month period, as extended by Force Majeure, is referred to herein as the “Construction Completion Deadline.” If Seller elects to repurchase the Property pursuant to this Section 11.05(a)(ii), the Repurchase Price will be in an amount equal to the sum of: (a) the Purchase Price, minus (b) the amounts of any rollback credits provided by Seller to Purchaser in connection with the initial closing of the sale of the Property to Purchaser, if any, plus (c) Land Acquisition Costs with respect to the Property (the “Development Parcel Percentage”), plus (d) all other costs and expenses incurred by Purchaser (other than the Land Acquisition Costs in connection with the acquisition and/or development of the Property, including without limitation, environmental, engineering, architectural, consulting, financing and attorney’s fees and expenses, interest paid under any acquisition and/or construction financing, construction costs, contractor’s fees, expenses and overhead, commissions, title, property and liability insurance premiums and expenses, and all other expenses incurred by Purchaser in connection with the acquisition or development of the Property, as reasonably evidenced by Purchaser to Seller (including, but not limited to, invoices, contracts, and billing statements); provided

West Plano Land — Diodes Contract of Sale

however, that in no event will the Repurchase Price for the Property exceed an amount equal to the sum of the Development Parcel Percentage plus One Hundred Fifty Dollars and No/100 ($150.00) per square foot times the square feet of building space (excluding parking structures) actually (or to be) constructed on the Property (on a percentage of completion basis) at the time of the closing of the Repurchase Option by Seller. If Purchaser does not commence construction of a building on the Property prior to the Construction Commencement Deadline, the provisions of this Section 11.05(a)(ii) shall not be applicable and Seller shall not have the right to exercise a Repurchase Option pursuant to the provisions of this Section 11.05(a)(ii).

In order to exercise a Repurchase Option, Seller must deliver the Repurchase Notice to Purchaser in accordance with the preceding provisions of this Section 11.05. If Seller fails to timely deliver a Repurchase Notice to Purchaser pursuant to the preceding provisions of this Section 11.05, the corresponding Repurchase Option arising pursuant to such provisions shall terminate and be of no further effect. The Repurchase Options shall arise and may only be exercised upon the occurrence of the events described in Section 11.05 above.

For purposes hereof: (a) commencement of construction of the Project shall be irrefutably deemed to have occurred upon the commencement of grading activities on a portion of the Property so long as Purchaser diligently continues with such construction through the substantially complete construction of the improvements described in the Development Plans by the Construction Completion Deadline, (b) construction of a building shall be irrefutably deemed to be “substantially complete” upon the issuance of a certificate of a registered architect that such improvements are complete in accordance with the Development Plans and issuance of the final certificate of occupancy by the applicable governmental authority for such building constructed within the Project.

(b) If Seller exercises the Repurchase Option, the closing of such repurchase (the “Repurchase Closing”) shall take place at a title company designated by Seller on a date designated by Seller but no later than sixty (60) days after the date of the Repurchase Notice. If Seller exercises the Repurchase Option but does not close and fund the Repurchase Price to Purchaser on or prior to the expiration of such sixty (60) day period, Seller’s Repurchase Option shall automatically and immediately terminate without notice. At the Repurchase Closing, Purchaser shall convey the Property to Seller by special warranty deed in the form of the Deed, subject only to the permitted title exceptions listed on Exhibit “B” attached to the Deed, and to easements, building set back lines and other matters set forth on any plat which has been filed by Purchaser with respect to the Property and/or which have been granted to any governmental authority or utility company, except that there shall be no repurchase option reserved and the exception for liens securing ad valorem taxes shall be limited to the year in which the closing of the repurchase takes place, with the ad valorem taxes for such year to be prorated at the Repurchase Closing based upon the most current available taxes. At the Repurchase Closing, Seller, at its expense, may obtain an owner’s policy of title insurance issued by the title company designated by Seller in the amount of the Repurchase Price and subject to no exceptions other than those contained in the owner’s policy of title insurance insuring title to the Property received by Purchaser in connection with the purchase of the Property by Purchaser from Seller, and to easements, building set back lines and other matters set forth on any plat which has been filed by Purchaser with respect to the Property and/or which have been granted to any governmental authority or utility company, except there shall be no exception for any repurchase

West Plano Land — Diodes Contract of Sale

option, and the policy or policies shall reflect only the then current year taxes. Seller shall not record in the real property records of Collin County, Texas, a memorandum of the exercise of this option without the joinder of Purchaser.

(c) If Seller exercises the Repurchase Option, Seller shall have a period of forty-five (45) days after such exercise in which to perform, at Seller’s sole expense, such environmental studies, title reviews, surveys, engineering studies, or other investigations and due diligence with respect to the Property and Project as Seller may deem relevant in connection with its repurchase the Property, subject to the same covenants and conditions of Section 6 hereof that were applicable to Purchaser’s inspection of and entry onto the Property (for this purpose, the terms “Seller” and “Purchaser” used in said Section 6 shall be deemed to refer to “Purchaser” and “Seller”, respectively). Seller may, during such forty-five (45) day period, rescind its exercise of the Repurchase Option by written notice to Purchaser, in which event Seller’s repurchase rights as to the Property shall cease and be of no further force or effect. No such rescission of the exercise of Seller’s Repurchase Option shall be deemed to limit or restrict any contractual or tort claims (or the rights or remedies associated therewith), if any, that Seller may have against Purchaser, whether in its capacity as an adjacent landowner, as the “Declarant” under the Declaration, the Association Declaration, or otherwise, if such rescission is as a result of any environmental or other condition on the Property that constitutes a violation of the Declaration, the Association Declaration, a breach of any contractual agreements between Seller and Purchaser and/or a violation of any environmental or other laws or regulations that create private rights of action against violators.

(d) At the option and request of Seller, Purchaser will assign to Seller, without recourse, representation or warranty, and Seller shall assume and agree to perform all obligations of Purchaser under, any and all contracts, subcontracts, purchase orders, guarantees and warranties related to the construction of the improvements on the Property repurchased by Seller pursuant to the provisions hereof, along with any claimed or issued unused insurance proceeds related to any damage to the improvements or equipment supporting such improvements, which may have occurred during the construction of the improvements on the Property repurchased by Seller pursuant to the provisions hereof.

(e) Prior to termination of the Repurchase Option, Purchaser agrees not to place any liens or security interests on the Property or the improvements thereon except for indebtedness of Purchaser related to Purchaser’s purchase of the Property and/or construction of any improvements thereon, or the refinancing thereof, and Seller agrees that the Repurchase Option shall be subordinate to any liens and security interests securing such indebtedness, and Seller shall enter into a subordination agreement on terms reasonably acceptable to Seller if so requested by Purchaser’s lender. In the event Seller exercises the Repurchase Option all such liens and security interests shall be released as to the Property which is subject to such repurchase or any improvements thereon upon payment by Seller of the Repurchase Price without regard to whether such amount is sufficient to retire such indebtedness in full.

(f) At Purchaser’s request, upon the expiration or termination of the Repurchase Option, Seller shall execute, in recordable form, a confirmation of the expiration of such option. If Seller fails to execute and return such document within fifteen (15) days after receipt thereof from Purchaser, Purchaser shall be entitled to file a memorandum of record in the Land Records of ▇▇▇▇▇▇

▇▇▇▇ Plano Land — Diodes Contract of Sale

County, Texas, confirming that such termination has occurred, and such memorandum may be conclusively relied upon by all interested parties as to the termination of the Repurchase Option.

(g) The options and rights reserved herein are personal rights of Seller which may not be assigned to others by Seller, except that Seller may assign its rights hereunder to an affiliate of Seller; provided, however, that in the event of such assignment, an executed copy of the instrument by which such assignment is made shall be provided to Purchaser promptly after the assignment.

(h) The provisions of this Section 11.05 shall survive the Closing, and at Closing, Seller and Purchaser shall execute a Memorandum of Repurchase Option in the form of Exhibit “D” attached hereto to be recorded immediately following the recordation of the Deed.

11.06 Right of First Offer; Right of First Refusal. The following provisions shall be in addition to Seller’s Repurchase Option pursuant to Section 11.05:

(a) As used in this Section 11.06, an “Undeveloped Tract” means a tract of land comprised of all or any part of the Property, excluding, however, any such tract upon which the construction of any new, permanent building has been substantially completed after the Closing Date. Also, as used herein, a “Qualified Mortgage” means a deed of trust or mortgage that grants or creates a lien against an Undeveloped Tract to secure indebtedness for borrowed money owed to a bank, insurance company or other institutional lender.

(b) Subject to the exceptions and qualifications set out below in this Section 11.06, prior to marketing any Undeveloped Tract to any third party, Purchaser will notify Seller in writing (the “ROFO Notice”) of Purchaser’s intention or desire to sell the applicable Undeveloped Tract, and Seller shall have the right (the “ROFO”) for a period of thirty (30) days after Seller’s receipt of the ROFO Notice to negotiate with Purchaser in good faith to attempt to reach agreement on the terms and conditions for the sale of the designated Undeveloped Tract from Purchaser to Seller (i.e., purchase price, due diligence period, closing date, etc.) The ROFO Notice shall specify the Undeveloped Tract which Purchaser intends or desires to sell and if the first ROFO Notice delivered by Purchaser to Seller does not cover all of the Undeveloped Tracts, then the provisions of this Section 11.06 and the ROFO shall be applicable each time Purchaser desires to sell any of the remaining Undeveloped Tracts.

(c) Subject to the exceptions and qualifications set out below in this Section 11.06, if Seller does not purchase the applicable Undeveloped Tract pursuant to the ROFO and if Purchaser receives a proposal outlining the purchase price and general business terms upon which a prospective purchaser desires to purchase such Undeveloped Tract, or if Purchaser expects to make a proposal to a prospective purchaser outlining the purchase price and other general business terms upon which Purchaser is willing to sell such Undeveloped Tract, and if on the basis of either such proposal (the “Proposal”) Purchaser intends and desires to enter into further negotiations for a more definitive purchase and sale agreement with the prospective purchaser, then Purchaser must, prior to entering into negotiations for a more definitive purchase and sale agreement, submit the Proposal to Seller with an offer (the “Offer”) to enter into a sales contract covering such Undeveloped Tract with Seller on the Proposed Terms (as defined below). That is to say, except as provided below, Purchaser will not enter into any such definitive purchase and sale agreement for the sale of any

West Plano Land — Diodes Contract of Sale

Undeveloped Tract to any third party unless and until Purchaser has first submitted a Proposal and an Offer to Seller and complied with the provisions of this Section 11.06. It is agreed that the provisions of this Section 11.06 shall apply not only to sales of the Undeveloped Tracts, but also to any ground lease of any Undeveloped Tract by Purchaser for a term of twenty (20) years or longer, including any renewal or extension options (a “Long Term Ground Lease”), and in the event of any ground lease transaction, the terminology used in the definitions of “Proposal” and “Offer” and elsewhere herein shall be deemed to be adjusted accordingly to refer to a lease transaction instead of a sale transaction, and the terms “purchase price” or “price” will be deemed to mean all rents and other charges to be imposed upon the lessee thereunder.

(d) If Seller receives a Proposal and an Offer covering any Undeveloped Tract (the “Relevant Property”) as provided in the preceding paragraph, but for any reason fails to accept the Offer in writing within fifteen (15) days after Seller’s receipt of the Offer, then Purchaser will be entitled to sell the Relevant Property to the other prospective purchaser named in the Proposal (or any of its affiliates) for a price equal to or greater than the price set forth in the Proposal and otherwise on the terms set forth in the Proposal or on other terms which, when considered in the aggregate, are not materially less favorable to Purchaser; provided, that the closing of such sale occurs within 180 days after the date of Seller’s receipt of the Offer from Purchaser. Any such sale to the other prospective purchaser will be subject to the Permitted Encumbrances, which for purposes of this Section 11.06 shall include the restrictions set forth in the Deed and the Repurchase Option set forth in Section 11.05; but any such sale will not be subject to any rights reserved by Seller in this Section 11.06. However, if such sale to the other prospective purchaser does not close within 180 days after the date of Seller’s receipt of the Offer from Purchaser, then the rights reserved by this Section 11.06 shall continue in effect with respect to the subject Undeveloped Tract. If, however, Seller accepts Purchaser’s Offer within such fifteen (15) day period, Purchaser must cause a sales contract (the “Repurchase Contract”) to be prepared in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit “F”, but providing for the sale of the Relevant Property to Seller on the Proposed Terms. Purchaser may terminate Seller’s rights under this Section 11.06 (as to the subject Undeveloped Tract, but not as to any remaining Undeveloped Tracts) if Seller fails to execute such a Repurchase Contract within ten (10) days after the same is submitted to Seller by Purchaser, provided the Repurchase Contract is consistent with the requirements of this Section 11.06 in all material respects.

(e) As used in this Section 11.06, the “Proposed Terms” will mean the purchase price and general business terms outlined in the Proposal submitted to Seller with Purchaser’s Offer to sell the Relevant Property; provided, however, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Proposal or the form of sales contract attached as Exhibit F, the following will be included in the Proposed Terms and made part of any Repurchase Contract:

(1) Under no circumstances will Purchaser be required to provide seller financing to Seller, even if Purchaser is willing to provide such financing to another prospective purchaser. Further, under no circumstances will Seller be required to accept the Relevant Property subject to any Qualified Mortgage, or to assume any Qualified Mortgage, and Purchaser will be required at its expense to obtain the release of the Relevant Property from any Qualified Mortgage on or before the closing of the Repurchase Contract.

West Plano Land — Diodes Contract of Sale

(2) Purchaser will, subject to the closing conditions applicable under the Repurchase Contract, convey the Relevant Property to Seller by Special Warranty Deed (prepared from the State Bar of Texas form), subject only to Permitted Encumbrances and any other Identified Encumbrances (as defined in the form of Repurchase Contract attached as Exhibit F).

(3) As set forth in the form of Repurchase Contract attached as Exhibit F, the sale will be subject to a thirty (30) day feasibility or inspection period and to Seller’s receipt of an acceptable title insurance commitment and survey. If, however, Seller elects to terminate the Repurchase Contract as therein provided (other than by reason of a default by Purchaser), Purchaser will be free to sell the Relevant Property or any portion thereof to another purchaser without first offering the Relevant Property for sale to Seller.

(4) Closing under the Repurchase Contract will be scheduled on the first business day following fifteen (15) days after expiration of the inspection period under the Repurchase Contract. Closing will take place at the Dallas or Plano offices of the Title Company.

(5) Seller will be required, as a condition to its rights under the Repurchase Contract, to deposit ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ money with the title company equal to one percent (1%) of the purchase price for the Relevant Property no later than five days after execution of the Repurchase Contract.

(6) In the case of any Offer submitted for a Long Term Ground Lease, the Offer must include a proposed form of ground lease. Also, the form of Repurchase Contract attached as Exhibit F must be revised to provide for delivery at closing of the Long Term Ground Lease, in the form included with the Offer, in lieu of a deed from Purchaser to Seller.

(7) All matters not expressly and specifically covered in this Section 11.06 or the Proposal (for example, representations or disclaimers of the seller as to the condition of the Relevant Property) will, for the purposes of determining the Proposed Terms, be the same as set forth in the form of contract attached as Exhibit “F”.

(f) If Seller enters into a Repurchase Contract and fails to close the purchase of the Relevant Property in a timely manner for any reason other than Purchaser’s default under the Repurchase Contract (including any failure to close because of title objections by Seller), Seller will have no further rights under this Section 11.06 as to the Relevant Property covered by the Repurchase Contract; although Seller’s rights under this Section 11.06 shall continue with respect to all remaining Undeveloped Tracts. Under no circumstances will Purchaser be required to incur any cost to cure any title or other objections by Seller in connection with any sale of the Relevant Property, except in connection with any Qualified Mortgage or other liens securing indebtedness, which Purchaser shall be obligated to obtain the release of at its expense on or before the closing under the Repurchase Contract.

(g) As provided in the paragraph (h) below, Seller’s rights under this Section 11.06 will not apply to any grant of a lien or conveyance or assignments made in any Qualified Mortgage, whether such Qualified Mortgage exists now or is executed in the future by Purchaser,

West Plano Land — Diodes Contract of Sale

nor will it apply to any foreclosure or other exercise of remedies under any Qualified Mortgage or any conveyance in lieu thereof. However, any existing or future Qualified Mortgage will be subject and subordinate to Seller’s rights under this Section 11.06, and thus any such foreclosure will not cut off or terminate the rights reserved by Seller in this Section 11.06 as to future sales or conveyances of the property sold at the foreclosure.

(h) Seller’s rights under this Section 11.06 will not apply to, and thus Purchaser will not be required to deliver any Proposal or Offer to Seller in connection with or by reason of any of, the following:

(1) the execution of any Qualified Mortgage or foreclosure of the lien of any Qualified Mortgage or any conveyance in lieu of such a foreclosure (however, Seller’s rights under this Section 11.06 will survive any such foreclosure or conveyance in lieu of foreclosure and the transferee will acquire the applicable property subject to Seller’s rights under this Section 11.06);

(2) any conveyance or transfer to any entity that controls, is controlled by or is under common control with Purchaser, including any subsidiary of Purchaser (however, Seller’s rights under this Section 11.06 will survive any such conveyance or transfer and the transferee will acquire the applicable property subject to Seller’s rights under this Section 11.06);

(3) any condemnation or conveyance in lieu thereof;

(4) any conveyance or transfer of any Undeveloped Tract which is made or to be made together with or as a condition to transfers of significant assets of Purchaser (other than another Undeveloped Tract) (however, Seller’s rights under this Section 11.06 will survive any such conveyance or transfer and the transferee will acquire the applicable property subject to Seller’s rights under this Section 11.06); or

(5) any grant of an easement which is appurtenant to or will otherwise benefit any land owned by Purchaser or any of its affiliates or any occupant of any such land.

(i) The provisions of this Section 11.06 shall survive the Closing, and at Closing, Seller and Purchaser shall execute a Memorandum of Right of First Offer and Right of First Refusal in the form of Exhibit “G” attached hereto to be recorded immediately following the recordation of the Deed.

11.07 Notice to Purchaser. Seller hereby advises Purchaser to obtain an owner policy of title insurance for the Property or have an abstract of title covering the Property examined by an attorney selected by Purchaser.

11.08 Notices. Any notice or other communication required, permitted, or contemplated by this Contract (“Notice”) must be in writing and may be given by (a) United States Mail, postage prepaid, registered or certified mail, return receipt requested; (b) a recognized, bonded, national, overnight courier service; or (c) sent by telecommunication (“Fax”) during normal business hours which shall be deemed delivered on the day sent, provided the original notice is

[BUYER]
[BUYER’S ADDRESS]
Attn.:


	Re:		Sale of approximately ____ acres of land in Collin County, Texas, shown or described on Exhibit A attached hereto and the improvements thereon, if any (the “Relevant Property”)

Ladies and Gentlemen:

This letter confirms the agreement of [SELLER NAME] (“Seller”) to sell the Relevant Property referenced above to [BUYER NAME] (“Buyer”) if certain contingencies are resolved or waived as described below. Buyer and Seller agree that the sale will be governed by the following terms and conditions

1) Price and Other Terms and Conditions.

(A) Purchase Price. The purchase price for the Relevant Property (the “Purchase Price”) will be $ .

(B) ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Money: $ of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ money (the “▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Money”) will be deposited by Buyer with [Name and Address of Title Company] (the “Title Company”). Upon any termination of this agreement which is effective prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period described below, $100 of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Money will be paid to Seller, as consideration for this agreement, and the remainder of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Money will be promptly refunded to Buyer. Otherwise, at closing, the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Money will be applied to the Purchase Price. So long as the Title Company holds the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Money, the Title Company will be

F-1

[Name of Buyer]
[Date]
Letter Agreement — Page 2

expected to keep the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Money invested as reasonably requested by Buyer; provided, Buyer has notified the Title Company and Seller of Buyer’s federal tax ID#. Any interest earned on the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Money will be reported as income by Buyer for income tax purposes. For purposes of this agreement, however, such interest will be added to (and applied in accordance with this agreement as) ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Money.

(C) Date and Place for Closing. Closing of the sale will occur in the offices of the Title Company no later than 15 days after the end of the Inspection Period (as defined below). Time is of the essence.

[NOTE: The next two subparagraphs are subject to any adjustments indicated by the Proposal.]

(D) Closing Costs. Ad valorem taxes and any other ongoing expenses related to the Relevant Property will be prorated at closing, based upon the best estimates available if actual amounts cannot yet be determined. However, any “rollback” taxes or other taxes to be paid after closing for any period prior to closing because of a change in ownership or use of the Relevant Property will be for the account of Seller and will be credited against the Purchase Price. Further, any such “rollback” taxes will be computed as if use of the Relevant Property will change to commercial uses immediately after closing. Buyer and Seller will each pay its own attorneys’ fees. Seller will also pay the basic premium for the owner’s title insurance policy required in favor of Buyer by this agreement; but the additional premium (if any) required because of any special endorsements or modifications to the policy (including the “survey deletion”) required by Buyer will be paid by Buyer.

(G) “AS IS” Sale. The Relevant Property is to be sold and conveyed “AS IS” without any representation or warranty by Seller, except (1) the title warranties in the special warranty deed to be delivered by Seller as provided below, (2) the representations concerning Seller’s tax status in the non-foreign certificate to be delivered by Seller as provided below, and (3) that Seller does make the following representations to Buyer, subject to any contrary information known to or discovered by Buyer during the Inspection Period:

	(a)		Seller has not, except as may be disclosed in written materials delivered to Buyer as provided in paragraph 2(C) below, been notified of any violation of environmental laws concerning the Relevant Property.

	(b)		There are no judicial or administrative actions, suits or proceedings pending or, to the Seller’s knowledge, threatened against or affecting Seller concerning the

F-2

Relevant Property, including any such actions, suits or proceedings for the condemnation of any part of the Relevant Property.

(c)

There are no parties in possession of the Relevant Property, except as permitted under any existing agricultural lease which can be terminated without cost by the owner of the Relevant Property on short notice.

2) Items to Be Delivered Before Closing.

(A) Survey: If Seller has not already done so, Seller will within 10 days after the date of this agreement provide to Buyer an updated survey of the Relevant Property (the “Survey”) prepared and certified by a licensed, professional surveyor, showing all easements, setbacks and other encumbrances which can be shown on a survey, and confirming the Net Area used to compute the Purchase Price.

(B) Title: If Seller has not already done so, Seller will within 10 days after the date of this agreement provide to Buyer a copy of a current commitment for title insurance (the “Commitment”), issued by the Title Company in the amount of the Purchase Price, covering the Relevant Property, and delivered together with copies of all special title exceptions noted in the Commitment.

(C) Other Materials: If Seller has not already done so, Seller will within 10 days after the date of this agreement provide to Buyer copies of (1) all environmental reports (if any) pertaining to the Relevant Property (whether one or more, the “Report”) that Seller received when it acquired the Relevant Property or that are otherwise be available to Seller, (2) any governmental permits previously received by Seller regarding the use and maintenance of the Relevant Property, and (3) any correspondence or notices from any governmental authorities or other parties that Seller has received concerning the Relevant Property and possible or alleged violations of environmental or other laws.

No representations of accuracy will be implied by Seller’s delivery of any Report or other information to Buyer.

3) Items to Be Delivered At Closing.

(A) Deed. Seller will convey its interest in the Relevant Property to Buyer by a special warranty deed (the “Deed”), which will be expressly subject to Identified Encumbrances (as defined below).

F-3

[Name of Buyer]
[Date]
Letter Agreement — Page 4

(B) Non-foreign Certificate. Seller will deliver a certificate of non-foreign status to Buyer at closing as needed to comply with the provisions of the Foreign Investors Real Property Tax Act (FIRPTA).

(C) Title Policy. At the closing, Seller will deliver to Buyer an owner’s title policy issued by the Title Company (or written confirmation from the Title Company that it is then unconditionally prepared to issue such a policy). The policy will be subject only to standard printed exceptions (with the “survey deletion” made if requested by Buyer) and Identified Encumbrances.

(D) Title Company Certificates. Seller will deliver any evidence of authority and owner’s affidavit that may reasonably be required by the Title Company as a condition to its delivery of the owner’s title insurance policy to Buyer.

4) Contingencies.

The sale will be contingent upon satisfaction or wavier of each of the following conditions:

(A) Signing and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Money. Within 10 days after the date of this agreement, Buyer must have signed and returned this agreement to Seller and must have deposited the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Money with the Title Company.

(B) Inspection. Buyer must be satisfied with the condition and suitability of the Relevant Property after further inspections as Buyer deems appropriate during the period that commences when this agreement is fully executed and that ends 30 days after the date of this letter (the “Inspection Period”). Seller will permit entry upon the Relevant Property by Buyer and its representatives and consultants to conduct such inspections throughout the Inspection Period. If Buyer is not satisfied during the Inspection Period for any reason whatsoever, Buyer may terminate this agreement and receive a refund of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Money by written notice to Seller. If, however, Buyer fails to notify Seller in writing of the termination of this agreement before the end of the Inspection Period, Buyer will be deemed to have waived this inspection contingency.

(C) Review of Title and Other Materials. Before the expiration of the Inspection Period, Buyer must receive, and be satisfied with all title exceptions and other matters disclosed in, the Survey, the Commitment and the Report or any other materials concerning the Relevant Property delivered to Buyer by Seller. Special title exceptions listed in Schedule B of the Commitment, as the same may be modified by the Title Company at the request of Buyer, will constitute “Identified Encumbrances” for purposes of this agreement.

[Name of Buyer]
[Date]
Letter Agreement — Page 5

(D) No Other Surprises. Nothing shall occur or be discovered after the Inspection Period and prior to closing that could materially and adversely affect title to the Relevant Property or its condition, and Seller must have been tendered the items which are listed above as items to be delivered to Buyer at closing contemporaneously with Buyer’s tender of the Purchase Price.

5) Remedies.

If Buyer breaches this agreement prior to closing, Seller’s sole remedy will be to collect and retain the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Money as liquidated damages; provided, however, that Buyer must indemnify Seller against any property damage (including damage to the Relevant Property) or bodily injury caused by Buyer’s on-site inspections of the Relevant Property.

6) Miscellaneous.

This agreement supersedes and replaces any prior agreements between the parties concerning the Relevant Property.

This agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective successors and assigns.

To facilitate execution, this agreement may be executed in multiple identical counterparts. It will not be necessary that the signature of, or on behalf of, each party, or that the signature of all persons required to bind any party, appear on each counterpart. All counterparts, taken together, will collectively constitute a single instrument. But it will not be necessary in making proof of any of this agreement to produce or account for more than a single counterpart containing the respective signatures of, or on behalf of, each of the parties to this agreement. Any signature page may be detached from one counterpart and then attached to a second counterpart with identical provisions without impairing the legal effect of the signatures on the signature page. Signing and sending a counterpart (or a signature page detached from the counterpart) by facsimile or other electronic means to another party will have the same legal effect as signing and delivering an original counterpart to the other party. A copy (including a copy produced by facsimile or other electronic means) of any signature page that has been signed by or on behalf of a party to this agreement will be as effective as the original signature page for the purpose of proving such party’s agreement to be bound.
