(a) Within ten (10) days after the Effective Date, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser the following information (the “Information”): 1) a copy of the most-current survey of the Land and the Improvements in Seller’s possession, which Purchaser may revise, modify or recertify (the “Survey”) as necessary in order for the Title Company to delete the survey exception from the Title Policy or otherwise satisfy Purchaser’s objectives, 2) copies of all environmental assessments, building plans and specifications, and all engineering, soils, seismic and structural reports regarding the Property that are in Seller’s possession, 3) a copy of the Lease, 4) copies of all Property Agreements in the possession of Seller, 5) copies of all warranties and guaranties issued to Seller in connection with the Property, to the extent in Seller’s possession, 6) copies of all governmental licenses, permits, certificates of occupancy and governmental approvals related to the Property, to the extent in Seller’s possession, 7) a list of any
3
Tangible Personal Property, and (8) to the extent not reflected in the Title Commitment (as defined below), a copy of any agreements whereby Seller has to grant access to the Property to any third parties.
(b) Within fifteen (15) days after the Effective Date, the Title Company shall deliver to Purchaser a current commitment for title insurance for the Property, addressed to Purchaser, and copies of all exception documents referenced therein (the “Title Commitment”).
(c) Subject to the provisions of Section 14, Purchaser acknowledges that the Information is proprietary and confidential and has been delivered to Purchaser solely to assist Purchaser in determining the feasibility of purchasing the Property. Purchaser shall not use the Information for any purpose other than as set forth in the preceding sentence. Purchaser shall not disclose the Information to any person other than to those persons who are responsible for determining the feasibility of Purchaser’s acquisition of the Property and who have agreed to preserve the confidentiality of such information as required hereby. Purchaser shall not divulge the contents of the Information and other information except in strict accordance with the confidentiality standards set forth in this Section 3(c). In permitting Purchaser to review the Information or any other information, Seller has not waived any privilege or claim of confidentiality with respect thereto, and no third party benefits or relationships of any kind, either express or implied, have been offered, intended or created. Purchaser’s obligations under this Section 3(c) shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
4. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Money. Within three (3) Business Days after the Effective Date, Purchaser shall deposit the Initial ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Money with the Title Company (herein sometimes also referred to as “Escrow Agent”). If, upon the expiration of the Inspection Period this Agreement is still in force and effect and effect and Purchaser has timely given the Acceptance Notice (as defined below), Purchaser shall, no later than the end of the Inspection Period, deposit the Additional ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Money with the Title Company. The Title Company shall hold the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Money in escrow in an interest-bearing account and deliver it in accordance with this Agreement. All interest earned on the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Money shall become part of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Money. The failure of Purchaser to timely deposit any portion of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Money within the time required hereby shall be a material default and shall entitle Seller, at Seller’s sole option, to terminate this Agreement immediately by giving written notice of such termination to Purchaser. The ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Money shall be applied as a credit to the Purchase Price at Closing, or if this transaction is not consummated, the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Money shall be disbursed in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.
5. Inspection Period; Title Review.
(a) During the Inspection Period, Purchaser shall have the right to review and approve all aspects of the Property, including but not limited to inspection of the Property and review of the Information. In the event that Purchaser elects to approve all matters with respect to the Property, Purchaser shall give written notice of such approval to Seller (the “Acceptance Notice”) on or before the end of the Inspection Period. The Acceptance Notice shall affirmatively state that Purchaser has approved all matters with respect to the Property and that Purchaser elects to proceed with the purchase of the Property under this Agreement. If Purchaser fails to timely give the Acceptance Notice to Seller, Purchaser shall conclusively be deemed to have disapproved the Property, in which case this Agreement shall terminate and the Initial ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Money shall be promptly returned to Purchaser (with the exception of $100.00, which shall be paid to Seller as independent consideration for Purchaser’s rights under this Section 5(a)), and the parties hereto shall have no further rights or obligations, other than those that by their terms survive the termination of this Agreement. If Purchaser timely gives the Acceptance Notice to Seller, then Purchaser shall be considered to have elected to proceed with the purchase of the Property in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, and the Inspection Period shall be deemed to have ended upon the giving of the Acceptance Notice.
4
(b) During the Inspection Period, Purchaser shall review title to the Property as disclosed by the Title Commitment and the Survey. Purchaser shall have the right, prior to the date that is fifteen (15) days before the end of the Inspection Period, to notify Seller and the Title Company in writing of any objections Purchaser has to any matters appearing or referred to in the Title Commitment or Survey (collectively, “Title Objections”). On or before five (5) Business Days after Seller’s receipt of any notice of Title Objections from Purchaser, Seller shall notify Purchaser as to whether Seller shall cause any Title Objections to be removed at no cost or expense to Purchaser. Seller shall have no obligation to cure Title Objections except financing liens, mechanic’s and materialmen’s liens, and tax and assessment liens (other than any such liens for taxes for the year in which Closing occurs) of an ascertainable amount created by, under or through Seller (collectively, “Seller Liens”), which Seller Liens Seller shall cause to be released (or bond or insure around, in the case of any such mechanic’s and materialmen’s liens) at or prior to Closing (with Seller having the right to apply the Purchase Price or a portion thereof for such purpose), and Seller shall deliver the Property free and clear of any such Seller Liens. Seller further agrees to remove any exceptions or encumbrances to title which are voluntarily created by, under or through Seller after the Effective Date without Purchaser’s consent (if requested, such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). Any failure by Seller to give notice to Purchaser as to whether or not Seller will cure any Title Objections within the five (5) Business Day period referred to above shall be deemed to constitute Seller’s election to not cure such Title Objections. The term “Permitted Exceptions” shall mean: the specific exceptions (excluding exceptions that are part of the promulgated title insurance form) in the Title Commitment that the Title Company has not agreed to remove from the Title Commitment as of the end of the Inspection Period and that Seller is not required to remove as provided above; any Title Objections as to which Seller notified Purchaser that Seller agreed to cure, as provided above, but which have not been cured as of the end of the Inspection Period; matters created by, through or under Purchaser; items shown on the Survey which have not been removed as of the end of the Inspection Period (or if Purchaser does not obtain a Survey, all matters that a current, accurate survey of the Property would show); real estate taxes not yet due and payable; rights of Tenant under the Lease; and rights of other parties to any Property Agreements not terminated as of Closing.
(c) Purchaser and its agents and representatives may physically inspect the Property during the Inspection Period; provided, that Purchaser shall not be permitted to conduct any intrusive or invasive testing (including, without limitation, any core sampling or Phase II environmental study) without Seller’s prior written consent (which consent may be given, withheld or conditioned in Seller’s sole discretion). Prior to performing any inspection or testing, Purchaser shall deliver to Seller a list of contractors who will be performing the inspection or testing, evidence of insurance reasonably satisfactory to Seller, and such other information as Seller may reasonably require in connection with such proposed inspection or testing. Purchaser or Purchaser’s representatives may communicate with Tenant; provided, that Purchaser must notify Seller at least one (1) full Business Days in advance of Purchaser’s intended communication with Tenant and to allow Seller the opportunity to participate in such communication if Seller desires. Purchaser or Purchaser’s representatives may communicate with any governmental authority for the sole purpose of gathering information regarding then-current zoning compliance of the Property and the then-current entitlements with respect to the Property in connection with the transaction contemplated by this Agreement; provided, that Purchaser must contact Seller at least one (1) full Business Days in advance by telephone to inform Seller of Purchaser’s intended communication with any governmental authority and to allow Seller the opportunity to participate in such communication if Seller desires. As used in this Section, “communicate” and “communication” shall mean the initiation of, response to, or sharing or exchange of information, knowledge or messages, whether by oral, written or electronic methods or media, or by any other means for the purpose of knowingly subverting the provisions of this Section regarding Purchaser’s obligations to provide Seller with prior notice of such communication and Seller’s ability to participate in such communication.
5
(d) In conducting any inspections, investigations or tests of the Property and/or Information, Purchaser and its agents and representatives shall: (1) not disturb Tenant or interfere with its use of the Property pursuant to the Lease; (2) not interfere with the operation and maintenance of the Property; (3) not damage any part of the Property or any personal property owned or held by Tenant or any third party; (4) not injure or otherwise cause bodily harm to Seller or its agents, guests, invitees, contractors and employees or any tenants or their agents, guests, invitees, contractors or employees; (5) comply with all applicable laws; (6) promptly pay when due the costs of all tests, investigations, and examinations done with regard to the Property; (7) not permit any liens to attach to the Property by reason of the exercise of its rights hereunder; and (8) repair any damage to the Property resulting directly or indirectly from any such inspection or tests. Purchaser’s obligations under this Section 5(d) shall survive the termination of this Agreement and shall survive the Closing.
(e) Purchaser shall indemnify defend and hold harmless Seller and its partners, shareholders, officers, directors, agents, employees, property manager, controlling persons and affiliates from and against, any liens, claims, losses, costs, liability, expenses or damages arising out of Purchaser’s inspections or tests permitted under this Agreement or any violation of the provisions of Section 5(c) and 5(d) (including damages and claims arising from any acts or omissions of Purchaser’s agents or contractors). If Purchaser terminates this Agreement, Purchaser shall return to Seller all copies of the Information provided by Seller hereunder and any other materials received or prepared by or for Purchaser in connection with the Property. Purchaser’s indemnification obligations under this Section 5(e) shall survive the termination of this Agreement and shall survive the Closing.
(f) Purchaser acknowledges that Purchaser will have the opportunity to independently and personally inspect the Property and that Purchaser has entered into this Agreement based upon its ability to make such examination and inspection. The Property is to be sold to and accepted by Purchaser at Closing in its then present condition, “AS IS, WITH ALL FAULTS, AND WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY WHATSOEVER, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED” except as expressly set forth herein or in the documents executed and delivered by Seller at Closing and except as otherwise provided in this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, it is understood and agreed that, except as expressly set forth in this Agreement or in the documents executed and delivered by Seller at Closing, Seller and Seller’s agents or employees have not made and are not now making, and they specifically disclaim, any warranties, representations or guaranties of any kind or character, express or implied, oral or written, past, present or future, with respect to the Property, including, but not limited to, warranties, representations or guaranties as to 1) matters of title (other than Seller’s warranty of title set forth in the special warranty deed to be delivered at Closing); 2) environmental matters of any kind relating to the Property or any portion thereof (including the condition of the soil or groundwater beneath the Property); 3) geological conditions, including, without limitation, subsidence, subsurface conditions, water table, underground water reservoirs, limitations regarding the withdrawal of water and earthquake faults and the resulting damage of past and/or future earthquakes; 4) whether, and to the extent to which the Property or any portion thereof is affected by any stream (surface or underground), body of water, flood prone area, flood plain, floodway or special flood hazard; 5) drainage; 6) soil conditions, including the existence of instability, past soil repairs, soil additions or conditions of soil fill, or susceptibility to landslides, or the sufficiency of any under shoring; 7) zoning to which the Property or any portion thereof may be subject; 8) the availability of any utilities to the Property or any portion thereof including, without limitation, water, sewage, gas and electric; 9) usages of adjoining property; 10) access to the Property or any portion thereof, 11) the value, compliance with the plans and specifications, size, location, age, use, design, quality, description, suitability, structural integrity, operation, title to, or physical or financial condition of the Property or any portion thereof, or any income, expenses, charges, liens, encumbrances, rights or claims on or affecting or pertaining to the Property or any part thereof; 12) the presence of Hazardous

EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT OR IN THE DOCUMENTS EXECUTED AND DELIVERED BY SELLER AT CLOSING, SELLER MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND TO PURCHASER, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE PHYSICAL CONDITION OF THE PROPERTY AND ANY IMPROVEMENTS LOCATED THEREON, OR THEIR SUITABILITY FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR OF MERCHANTABILITY. PURCHASER SHALL RELY ON ITS INVESTIGATIONS OF THE PROPERTY IN DETERMINING WHETHER TO ACQUIRE IT. THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION ARE A MATERIAL PART OF THE CONSIDERATION FOR SELLER’S ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT, AND SHALL SURVIVE CLOSING.
(g) Purchaser hereby FOREVER RELEASES AND DISCHARGES Seller from all responsibility and liability, including without limitation, liabilities and responsibilities for the lessor’s obligations under the Lease relating to the physical, environmental or legal compliance status of the Property, whether arising before or after the Effective Date and liabilities under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act Of 1980 (42 U.S.C. Sections 9601 et seq.), as amended (“CERCLA”), regarding the condition, valuation, salability or utility of the Property, or its suitability for any purpose whatsoever (including, but not limited to, with respect to the presence in the soil, air, structures and surface and subsurface waters, of Hazardous Materials or other materials or substances that have been or may in the future be determined to be toxic, hazardous, undesirable or subject to regulation and that may need to be specially treated, handled and/or removed from the Property under current or future federal, state and local laws, regulations or guidelines, and any structural and geologic conditions, subsurface soil and water conditions and solid and hazardous waste and Hazardous Materials on, under, adjacent to or otherwise affecting the Property). Purchaser further hereby WAIVES (and by Closing this transaction will be deemed to have WAIVED) any and all objections and complaints (including, but not limited to, federal, state and local statutory and common law based actions, and any private right of action under any federal, state or local laws, regulations or guidelines to which the Property is or may be subject, including, but not limited to, CERCLA) concerning the physical characteristics and any existing conditions of the Property, including without limitation, liabilities and responsibilities for the lessor’s obligations under the Lease relating to the physical, environmental or legal compliance status of the Property, whether arising before or after the Effective Date. Purchaser further hereby assumes the risk of changes in applicable laws and regulations relating to past, present and future environmental conditions on the Property and the risk that adverse physical characteristics and conditions, including, without limitation, the presence of Hazardous Materials or other contaminants, may not have been revealed by its investigation. For purposes hereof, “Hazardous Materials” means “Hazardous Material,” “Hazardous Substance,” “Pollutant or Contaminant,” and “Petroleum” and “Natural Gas Liquids,” as those terms are defined or used in Section 101 of CERCLA, and any other substances regulated because of their effect or potential effect on public health and the environment, including, without limitation, PCBs, lead paint, asbestos, urea formaldehyde, radioactive materials, putrescible materials, and infectious materials. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (1) the release and waivers set forth in this Section 5(g) shall not apply to any claims made by third parties (including governmental authorities)
7
against Purchaser or its successors, assigns, agents or affiliates with respect to Hazardous Materials in, on, under, above, adjacent to or otherwise affecting the Property prior to Closing (except to the extent Purchaser is responsible for same in accordance with Sections 5(c), 5(d) and/or 5(e)hereof), it being agreed that Purchaser is not waiving or releasing but is instead specifically reserving and retaining, all rights of contribution and subrogation with respect to such claims, and (2) nothing in this Section 5(g) shall release Seller from liability for any breach of Seller’s representations and warranties expressly set forth in this Agreement or in any documents executed by Seller and delivered to Purchaser at Closing (subject to the survival limitations and other limitations as set forth in Section 6 hereof).
6. Seller’s Representations and Warranties. Seller represents and warrants to Purchaser that:
(a) Seller has been duly organized and is validly existing as a limited partnership in good standing in the State of Texas. Seller has the full right and authority and has obtained any and all consents required to enter into this Agreement and to consummate or cause to be consummated the transactions contemplated hereby. This Agreement has been, and all of the documents to be delivered by Seller at the Closing will be, authorized and executed and constitute, or will constitute, as appropriate, the valid and binding obligation of Seller, enforceable in accordance with their terms.
(b) Seller is not a debtor in any voluntary or involuntary proceedings in bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceedings under the Federal bankruptcy laws or under any state laws relating to the protection of debtors, and has not made a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors.
(c) Seller is not a “foreign person,” “foreign trust” or “foreign corporation” within the meaning of the United States Foreign Investment in Real Property Tax Act of 1980 and the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as subsequently amended.
(d) Seller has not received any written notice, and has no actual knowledge, of (i) any pending or threatened litigation against the Property or against Seller arising out of the ownership of the Property, or (ii) any pending or threatened condemnation proceeding that affects the Property.
(e) The copy of the Lease to be delivered to Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement is a true, correct and complete copy of the Lease, including all amendments and modifications thereto. To Seller’s knowledge, the Lease is in full force and effect in accordance with its terms without any monetary default or any material non-monetary default thereunder by Tenant. Seller has not received written notice from Tenant and has no actual knowledge of any default by Seller under the Lease that remains uncured. If the tenant estoppel certificate delivered to Purchaser with respect to the Lease contains any statement of fact, information or other matter that is inconsistent with the matters stated in Seller’s representations in this Section 6(e) and such inconsistency is satisfactory to Purchaser in its sole discretion, or otherwise is expressly permitted by this Agreement, such tenant estoppel certificate shall control and Seller shall have no liability for any claim based upon a breach of representation regarding such statement of fact, information or other matter contained in such tenant estoppel certificate.
(f) Seller has not received written notice from any governmental or quasi-governmental agency and has no actual knowledge of any delinquent assessments against the Property.
(g) Seller has not received any written notice from any governmental authority and has no actual knowledge that the Property, or any portion thereof, fails to comply in any material respect with any applicable laws, ordinances, regulations, statutes, rules and regulations relating to the ownership or Seller’s development of the Property or any part thereof that has not been corrected, except as may be reflected by the Information.
8
(h) The Property Agreements delivered to Purchaser pursuant to Section 3(a) hereof. are in full force and effect, and, to Seller’s knowledge, Seller has not received written notice from any other party to such Property Agreements of any default by Seller thereunder that remains uncured.
(i) Except for the Property Agreements and the existing property management agreement between Seller and its property manager, Stream Dallas Office, L.P. (which Seller will terminate effective as of the Closing) or as otherwise disclosed to Purchaser, Seller is not a party to any agreements for services, supplies or materials affecting the use, operation or management of the Property that will bind Purchaser or the Property after Closing. The Property Agreements delivered to Purchaser pursuant to Section 3(a) hereof will be true, complete and correct copies of all such Property Agreements in Seller’s possession.
(j) Purchaser has no obligation to continue to employ any persons presently employed by Seller at the Property.
(k) Seller is currently in compliance with and shall at all times during the term of this Agreement (including any extension thereof) remain in compliance with the regulations of the Office of Foreign Asset Control (“OFAC”) of the Department of the Treasury (including those named on OFAC’s Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons List) and any statute, executive order (including the September 24, 2001, Executive Order Blocking Property and Prohibiting Transactions with Persons Who Commit, Threaten to Commit, or Support Terrorism), or other governmental action relating thereto.
(l) Seller is authorized to permit the disclosure of all of the SEC Filing Information as defined and described in Section 15.
The representations and warranties set forth in this Section 6 shall not be deemed to be merged into or waived by the instruments of Closing, but shall survive the Closing for a period of twelve (12) months (the “Survival Period”). Terms such as “to Seller’s knowledge,” “to the best of Seller’s knowledge” or like phrases mean the actual present and conscious knowledge of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and ▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇ (“Seller’s Representatives”), without any duty of inquiry or investigation; provided that so qualifying Seller’s knowledge shall in no event give rise to any personal liability on the part of Seller’s Representatives, or any of them, or any other partner, officer or employee of Seller, on account of any breach of any representation or warranty made by Seller herein. Such terms do not include constructive knowledge, imputed knowledge, or knowledge Seller or such persons do not have but could have obtained through further investigation or inquiry. No broker, agent or party other than Seller is authorized to make any representation or warranty for or on behalf of Seller. Purchaser shall have the right to bring an action against Seller on the breach of a representation or warranty or covenant hereunder or in the documents delivered by Seller at Closing, but only on the following conditions: (1) Purchaser first learns of any such breach after Closing and gives written notice of such breach to Seller before the end of the Survival Period and files any such action on or before the first day following the second anniversary of the Closing Date, and (2) Purchaser shall not have the right to bring a cause of action for a breach of a representation or warranty or covenant 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, in which event the full amount of such claims shall be actionable (but not in excess of the Cap defined below). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall the aggregate amount of Seller’s liability for the breach of any or all of Seller’s representations or warranties or covenants set forth in this Agreement exceed $750,000.00 (the “Cap”). Seller shall have no liability after Closing for the breach of a representation or warranty or covenant hereunder of which Purchaser had knowledge as of Closing. The provisions of this Section 6 shall survive Closing. Any breach of a representation or warranty that occurs prior to Closing shall constitute the non-satisfaction of the condition precedent set forth in Section 9(a)(1) and shall be governed exclusively by Section 9(b).

(e) Seller and Purchaser agree to adjust, as of 11:59 p.m. on the day immediately preceding the Closing Date, the following (collectively, the “Proration Items”): (i) to the extent not paid directly by Tenant under the Lease, real estate and personal property taxes and assessments (subject to the terms of Section 8(g) below) and any assessments by private covenant (and assessments for any property owners association) for the then-current calendar year of Closing; (ii) to the extent not paid directly by or billed directly to Tenant under the Lease, utility bills (except as hereinafter provided); (iii) Tenant Receivables (subject to the terms of Section 8(f) below) and other income and rents that have been collected by Seller as of Closing; and (iv) prepaid expenses and obligations under Property Agreements that are assigned to Purchaser at Closing. Seller will be charged and credited for the amount of all of the Proration Items relating to the period up to the Closing Date, and Purchaser will be charged and credited for all of the Proration Items relating to the period from and after the Closing Date. If the actual amounts of the Proration Items are not known as of the Closing Date, the prorations will be made at Closing on the basis of the best evidence then available, using, as to ad valorem taxes, the most recent tax bills for the Property; thereafter, when actual figures are received, re-prorations will be made on the basis of the actual figures, and a final cash settlement will be made between Seller and Purchaser. No prorations will be made in relation to insurance premiums, and Seller’s insurance policies will not be assigned to Purchaser. Final readings and final ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ for utilities will be made if possible as of the Closing Date, in which event no proration will be made at Closing with respect to utility bills. Seller will be entitled to all deposits presently in effect with the utility providers, and Purchaser will be obligated to make its own arrangements for deposits with the utility providers. The provisions of this Section 8(e) will survive the Closing Date for one year.
(f) Rents and other income due from Tenant under the Lease and operating expenses and/or taxes payable by Tenant under the Lease (collectively, “Tenant Receivables”) and not collected by Seller as of Closing shall not be prorated between Seller and Purchaser at Closing but shall be apportioned on the basis of the period for which the same is payable and if, as and when collected, as follows:
(1) Tenant Receivables received from Tenant under the Lease after Closing shall be applied in the following order of priority: (A) first, to Tenant Receivables first coming due after Closing and applicable to the period of time after Closing, which amount shall be retained by Purchaser; (B) second, to payment of the current Tenant Receivables then due for the month in which the Closing Date occurs, which amount shall be apportioned between Purchaser
12
and Seller as of the Closing Date as set forth in Section 8(e) hereof (with Seller’s portion thereof to be delivered to Seller); and (C) thereafter, to delinquent Tenant Receivables which were due and payable as of Closing but not collected by Seller as of Closing (collectively, “Uncollected Delinquent Tenant Receivables”), which amount shall be delivered to Seller. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall have the right to pursue the collection of Uncollected Delinquent Tenant Receivables for a period of one year after Closing without prejudice to Seller’s rights or Purchaser’s obligations hereunder, provided, however, Seller shall have no right to cause Tenant to be evicted or to exercise any other “landlord” remedy (as set forth in the Lease) against Tenant other than to ▇▇▇ for collection. Any sums received by Purchaser to which Seller is entitled shall be held in trust for Seller on account of such past due rents payable to Seller, and Purchaser shall remit to Seller any such sums received by Purchaser to which Seller is entitled within ten (10) Business Days after receipt thereof less reasonable, actual costs and expenses of collection, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, court costs and disbursements, if any. Seller expressly agrees that if Seller receives any amounts after the Closing Date which are attributable, in whole or in part, to any period after the Closing Date, Seller shall remit to Purchaser that portion of the monies so received by Seller to which Purchaser is entitled within ten (10) Business Days after receipt thereof.
(2) Without limiting the generality of the requirements of Section 8(f)(1) above, to the extent not otherwise prorated by Seller and Purchaser at Closing, payments of operating expenses and/or taxes under the Lease shall be prorated upon collection after the final reconciliation or determination thereof under the Lease. If the final reconciliation or determination of operating expenses and/or taxes due under the Lease shows that a net amount is owed by Seller to Purchaser or by Purchaser to Seller, the party owing such amount shall pay such amount to the other party within ten (10) Business Days of such final determination under the Lease. For purposes of the foregoing proration, estimated payments of operating expenses and taxes made by Tenant during the respective periods of ownership of the Property by Seller and Purchaser shall be compared with the actual operating expenses and taxes incurred during or allocable to the respective periods of ownership of the Property by Seller and Purchaser (i.e., operating expenses and taxes and estimated payments thereof by Tenant shall be matched to the period when they were incurred or made and shall not be aggregated for the entire year). The provisions of this Section 8(f)(2) shall survive the Closing.
(g) Any additional real property taxes relating to the year of Closing or prior years arising out of a change in the use of the Land and Improvements or a change in ownership shall be assumed by Purchaser effective as of Closing and paid by Purchaser when due and payable, and Purchaser shall indemnify Seller from and against any and all such taxes, which indemnification obligation shall survive the Closing.
(h) All tenant security deposits collected and not applied by Seller under the Lease (and interest thereon if required by law or contract) shall be transferred or credited to Purchaser at Closing. As of the Closing, Purchaser shall assume Seller’s obligations related to tenant security deposits, but only to the extent they are credited or transferred to Purchaser.
(i) After the Closing, to the extent in the possession of Seller or Seller’s property manager, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser at the office of Seller’s property manager (Stream Dallas Office, L.P., ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇ 75201): all keys for the Property with identification of the lock to which each such key relates, original license agreements, Property Agreements, and as-built plans and specifications of the Improvements.
13
(j) In the event that the Title Company does not issue at Closing, or unconditionally commit at Closing to issue, to Purchaser, an owner’s title policy in accordance with the Title Commitment, insuring Purchaser’s fee simple title to the Land and the Improvements in the amount of the Purchase Price, subject only to the standard printed exceptions (including the survey exception unless such survey exception is modified as permitted by applicable title insurance rules and regulations based on a survey obtained by Purchaser that is acceptable to the Title Company) and exclusions from coverage contained in such policy and the Permitted Exceptions (the “Title Policy”), Purchaser shall have the right to terminate this Agreement, in which case the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Money shall be immediately returned to Purchaser and the parties hereto shall have no further rights or obligations, other than those that by their terms survive the termination of this Agreement.
(k) As used herein, the term “Leasing Costs” means all leasing commissions, costs for tenant improvements, lease buyout costs, moving allowances, design allowances, legal fees and other costs, expenses and allowances incurred in order to induce Tenant to enter into the Lease or Lease renewal, extension or expansion. To the extent not previously paid by Seller, Seller agrees to pay or discharge at or prior to Closing all Leasing Costs that are due with respect to the primary term of, and the initial space leased under, the Lease as in effect on the Effective Date, including, without limitation, the General TI Allowance (as defined the Lease), but excluding the Power Upgrade Allowance (as defined in the Lease) (“Seller’s Leasing Costs”). To the extent Seller’s Leasing Costs have not been paid as of the Closing Date, Seller shall provide Purchaser a credit at Closing equal to the amount of unpaid Seller’s Leasing Costs, and Purchaser shall assume all of Seller’s obligations to pay and discharge all such unpaid Seller’s Leasing Costs, which obligation shall survive the Closing. As of Closing Purchaser shall assume the obligation to pay the Power Upgrade Allowance and all Leasing Costs payable with respect to any option to renew or option to expand that has not been exercised prior to the Effective Date. If, as of the Closing Date, Seller shall have paid any Leasing Costs for which Purchaser is responsible pursuant to the foregoing provisions, Purchaser shall reimburse Seller therefor at Closing. The obligations of Seller and Purchaser described in this Section 8(k) shall be contained in the ▇▇▇▇ of Sale and Assignment. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, Seller shall pay and not be reimbursed by Purchaser for an amount not to exceed $75,000.00 required to be paid by Seller, as landlord under the Lease, for the Silver LEED Certification, and to the extent Seller has not made such payment, then Seller shall pay such amount to Purchaser at the Closing.
(l) It is a condition precedent to Purchaser’s obligation to proceed to close hereunder that, on or before the Closing Date, Seller shall have received and provided to Purchaser an estoppel Certificate executed by Tenant substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit F (except such certificate need only comply with the provisions of the Lease that specify the form or content of an estoppel to be delivered by Tenant thereunder) (the “Tenant Estoppel”) in accordance with and subject to the provisions of this Section 8(l). Seller agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the Tenant Estoppel from Tenant, but Seller shall not be obligated to expend any funds in connection with obtaining any such tenant estoppel certificates, and the failure of Seller to obtain the Tenant Estoppel shall not be a breach or default hereunder. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if Seller is unable to deliver the Tenant Estoppel on or before the Closing Date, then Purchaser’s sole remedies and recourses shall be limited to either (1) waiving the requirement for the Tenant Estoppel and proceeding to Closing without reduction of the Purchase Price or (2) terminating this Agreement by immediate notification to Seller, in which event the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Money shall be immediately returned to Purchaser and the parties hereto shall have no further rights or obligations hereunder, other than those that by their terms survive the termination of this Agreement. An estoppel from Tenant shall not constitute an acceptable Tenant Estoppel under this Section 8(l) if: (i) the terms of the Lease and other agreements confirmed by the estoppel are materially different from the terms in the Information; (ii) Tenant modifies any of the statements which discloses materially adverse matters and about which Purchaser had not received written notice prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period, or (iii) Tenant indicates any of the
14
following which has not been previously disclosed to Purchaser in writing prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period: (A) that Seller is in material default pursuant to the Lease, (B) that Tenant has a material claim or material offset right for which Seller is unwilling or unable to give Purchaser a credit in cash at Closing, or (C) that there is a material dispute. Additionally, if requested by Purchaser, Seller will deliver to Tenant Purchaser’s (or its lender’s) form of subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement (“SNDA”), which shall not be factually inaccurate or contain any manifest errors, provided that the failure of Tenant to execute and deliver such SNDA shall not constitute a condition to Closing or a breach or default by Seller hereunder or otherwise permit Purchaser to terminate this Agreement.
9. Conditions to Parties’ Obligation to Close.
(a) Conditions. In addition to all other conditions set forth herein, the obligation of Seller, on the one hand, and Purchaser, on the other hand, to consummate the transactions contemplated hereunder are conditioned upon the following:
(1) Representations and Warranties. The other party’s representations and warranties contained herein shall be true and correct in all material respects as of the Closing Date, except for representations and warranties made as of, or limited by, a specific date, which will be true and correct in all material respects as of the specified date or as limited by the specified date;
(2) Deliveries. As of the Closing Date, the other party shall have tendered all deliveries to be made at Closing;
(3) Actions, Suits, Etc. There shall exist no pending or threatened actions, suits, arbitrations, claims, attachments, proceedings, assignments for the benefit of creditors, insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or other proceedings, against the other party that would materially and adversely affect that party’s ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement;
(4) Lease and Tenant Matters. As of the Closing Date, Tenant (i) shall not be in default under the Lease (beyond any applicable notice and grace period set forth therein) with respect to the payment of any rental thereunder or in respect of any other material term thereof, and (ii) shall not have filed for bankruptcy, be subject to an involuntary bankruptcy proceeding, been adjudicated bankrupt or admitted in writing its inability to pay its debts as they become due or have had a receiver appointed for any of its assets; and
(5) New Environmental Condition. No New Environmental Condition shall have occurred with respect to the Property. As used herein, a “New Environmental Condition” means a “recognized environmental condition” with respect to the Property that (i) first occurs after the end of the Inspection Period and prior to Closing, (ii) is not disclosed in any of the Property Documents or in any environmental site assessment or other report obtained by or for the benefit of Purchaser, and (iii) is not caused by Purchaser, its agents, employees, invitees, representatives, contractors, or subcontractors.
(b) Non-Satisfaction of Conditions. So long as a party is not in default hereunder, if any condition to such party’s obligation to proceed with the Closing hereunder has not been satisfied as of the Closing Date (or such earlier date as is provided herein), such party may, as its sole remedies (except as provided in the last sentence of this Section 9(b)), either: (i) terminate this Agreement by delivering written notice to the other party on or before the Closing Date (or such earlier date as is provided herein) and if Purchaser terminates this Agreement under this Section 9(b), the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Money
15
shall be immediately returned to Purchaser, or (ii) elect to close (or to permit any such earlier termination deadline to pass) notwithstanding the non-satisfaction of such condition, in which event such party shall be deemed to have waived any such condition. In the event such party elects to close (or to permit any such earlier termination deadline to pass), notwithstanding the non-satisfaction of such condition, said party shall be deemed to have waived said condition, and there shall be no liability on the part of any other party hereto for breaches of representations and warranties of which the party electing to close had knowledge at the Closing. Notwithstanding any provision of this Section 9(b) to the contrary, if the condition set forth in Section 9(a)(2) is not satisfied, or if a party is otherwise in default hereunder at or prior to Closing, the provisions of Section 11 of this Agreement shall govern the rights and remedies of the parties hereunder with respect to such default.
10. Operations Prior to Closing. From the Effective Date until the Closing Date, Seller shall: (a) maintain and operate the Property in substantially the same manner as Seller has heretofore done; (b) continue the Lease and all Property Agreements relative to the Property in full force and effect and, without Purchaser’s prior written consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, neither cancel, amend, nor renew any of the same other than in the ordinary course of Seller’s business; (c) not commit or permit to be committed any physical waste to the Property; (d) not, without the prior written consent of Purchaser (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed by Purchaser and which consent shall be deemed given by Purchaser if within five (5) days after Seller’s request Seller does not receive written notice from Purchaser disapproving such agreement, instrument or action with reasonable specificity as to the reason for such disapproval), enter into any lease or other agreement or instrument or take any action that would encumber the Property after Closing, that would bind Purchaser or the Property after Closing, or that would be outside the normal scope of maintaining and operating the Property; (e) not remove any item of Tangible Personal Property from the Land or Improvements unless it is replaced with an item of at least equal value that is properly suited for its intended purpose; and (f) maintain all insurance policies or contracts relative to the Property in full force and effect as they exist on the Effective Date.
11. Remedies.
(a) If Seller fails to perform its obligations pursuant to this Agreement at or prior to Closing for any reason except failure by Purchaser to perform hereunder or termination of this Agreement as provided herein, and such default or breach is not cured by the earlier of the third (3rd) Business Day after written notice thereof from Purchaser or the Closing Date (except no notice or cure period shall apply if Seller fails to consummate the sale of the Property hereunder), then Purchaser may, as its exclusive remedy therefor either: (1) terminate this Agreement by notifying Seller thereof, in which case the Title Company shall return the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Money to Purchaser, and neither party hereto shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder, except for those which survive the termination of this Agreement or (2) enforce specific performance of Seller’s obligation to convey the Property to Purchaser in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, it being understood and agreed that the remedy of specific performance shall not be available to enforce any other obligation of Seller hereunder. Purchaser expressly waives its rights to seek damages in the event of Seller’s default hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that specific performance is not a viable remedy as a result of Seller conveying the Property to a third party or mortgaging the Property in violation of the terms of this Agreement that Seller does not cause to be released at Closing, then Purchaser, as its sole remedy, shall be entitled to recover Purchaser’s Liquidated Damages (as defined below) as a result of Seller’s willful default of this Agreement by virtue of conveying the Property to a third party or mortgaging its interest in the Property if said mortgage is not satisfied at the Closing. Seller and Purchaser agree that Purchaser’s damages resulting from Seller conveying the Property to a third party or mortgaging the Property in violation of the terms of this Agreement that Seller does not cause to be released at Closing are difficult, if not impossible, to determine and Purchaser’s Liquidated Damages are a fair estimate of those damages which
16
has been agreed to in an effort to cause the amount of such damages to be certain. As used herein, “Purchaser’s Liquidated Damages” means the amount, if any, by which (i) the sales price received by Seller from the sale of the Property to such third party, or the loan proceeds received by Seller pursuant to such mortgage, as applicable, exceeds (ii) the Purchase Price. In no event shall Seller be liable for any consequential, punitive or special damages under this Agreement. Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected to terminate this Agreement and receive back the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Money under clause (1) of this Section 11(a) if Purchaser fails to file suit for specific performance or to recover Purchaser’s Liquidated Damages, as applicable, against Seller in a court having jurisdiction in the county and state in which the Property is located on or before sixty (60) days following the date upon which Closing was to have occurred.
(b) If Purchaser fails to perform its obligations pursuant to this Agreement at or prior to Closing for any reason except failure by Seller to perform hereunder or termination of this Agreement as provided herein, and such default or breach is not cured by the earlier of the third (3rd) Business Day after written notice thereof from Seller or the Closing Date (except no notice or cure period shall apply if Purchaser fails to consummate the purchase of the Property hereunder), then Seller may, as its sole remedy, terminate this Agreement by notifying Purchaser thereof and recover the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Money as liquidated damages and not as penalty, in which event the Title Company shall deliver the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Money to Seller, whereupon neither Seller nor Purchaser shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder, except for those which survive the termination of this Agreement. Seller and Purchaser agree that Seller’s damages resulting from Purchaser’s default are difficult, if not impossible, to determine and the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Money is a fair estimate of those damages which has been agreed to in an effort to cause the amount of such damages to be certain.
12. Destruction, Damage, or Taking Before Closing. If, before the Closing Date, all or any material part of the Property is destroyed or damaged, or becomes subject to condemnation or eminent domain proceedings, then Seller shall notify Purchaser thereof (a “Seller’s Notice”) as soon as reasonably possible after the occurrence of the casualty or taking. Purchaser shall deliver notice to Seller within five (5) Business Days after receipt of a Seller’s Notice of Purchaser’s election either to: (a) proceed with the Closing (subject to the other provisions of this Agreement), in which event Purchaser shall be entitled to all insurance proceeds (together with a credit for all applicable insurance deductibles) or condemnation awards payable as a result of such damage or taking and, to the extent the same may be necessary or appropriate, and Seller shall assign to Purchaser at Closing Seller’s rights to such proceeds or awards; or (b) terminate this Agreement, in which event the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Money shall be immediately returned to Purchaser and the parties hereto shall have no further rights or obligations, other than those that by their terms survive the termination of this Agreement. If, within five (5) Business Days after Seller’s delivery of a Seller’s Notice, Seller does not receive written notice from Purchaser of Purchaser’s election pursuant to the preceding sentence, Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected to terminate this Agreement under this Section 12. If, before the Closing Date, less than a material part of the Land or Improvements is destroyed or damaged, or becomes subject to condemnation or eminent domain proceedings, then Seller shall notify Purchaser thereof, Purchaser shall have no right to terminate this Agreement, and in such case, the parties shall proceed with the Closing, but Purchaser shall be entitled to all insurance proceeds (together with a credit for all applicable insurance deductibles) or condemnation awards payable as a result of such damage or taking and Seller shall assign to Purchaser at Closing Seller’s rights to such proceeds or awards. For the purposes of this Section 12, damage or a taking shall be considered to be “material” (i) if the value of the portion of the Property damaged or taken exceeds $500,000.00, or, (ii) in the case of a taking, if the portion of the Property taken is such that it materially adversely affects the ability to use the remainder for the purposes for which it is presently used, or (iii) any such damage would otherwise permit Tenant to terminate the Lease under the terms thereof (unless such termination right is fully and irrevocably waived by Tenant with respect to the applicable damage in question).
17
13. Notices. All notices required or permitted hereunder must be in writing to and served upon the parties at the addresses set forth beneath their names at the beginning of this Agreement. Any such notice shall, unless otherwise provided herein, be given or served (i) by depositing same in the United States mail, addressed to the party to be notified, postage prepaid and registered or certified with return receipt requested; (ii) by delivering the same in person to such party by a nationally-recognized, overnight delivery service (e.g., Federal Express); (iii) by facsimile copy transmission during normal business hours with a confirmation copy delivered by another method permitted under this Section 13, or (iv) by electronic mail addressed to the electronic mail address set forth above for the party to be notified with a confirmation copy delivered by another method permitted under this Section 13. Notice given in accordance herewith shall be effective upon the earlier to occur of actual delivery to the address of the addressee or refusal of receipt by the addressee (even if such addressee refuses delivery thereof). Notice given by electronic mail in accordance herewith shall be effective upon the entrance of such electronic mail into the information processing system designated by the recipient’s electronic mail address. Except for facsimile and electronic mail notices as described above, no notice hereunder shall be effective if sent or delivered by electronic means. In no event shall this Agreement be altered, amended or modified by electronic mail or electronic record. A party’s address may be changed by written notice to the other party; provided, however, that no notice of a change of address shall be effective until actual receipt of such notice. Copies of notices are for informational purposes only, and a failure to give or receive copies of any notice shall not be deemed a failure to give notice. Notices given by counsel to the Purchaser shall be deemed given by Purchaser and notices given by counsel to the Seller shall be deemed given by Seller.
14. Confidentiality. In addition to the confidentiality requirements of Section 3(c), Purchaser and Seller shall hold, and shall cause and their respective employees and representatives to hold, in strict confidence, and Purchaser and Seller shall not disclose, and shall instruct their respective employees and representatives not to disclose, to any other person without the prior written consent of the other party, (a) the terms of this Agreement, (b) in the case of Purchaser only, any of the information in respect of the Property, including without limitation, the Lease, delivered to or for the benefit of Purchaser whether by its employees and representatives (“Purchaser’s Representatives”) or Seller or its respective employees and representatives (“Seller’s Representatives”), and (c) the identity of any direct or indirect owner of any beneficial interest in Seller or Purchaser. The parties obligations under clauses (a), (b) and (c) of the immediately preceding sentence shall survive the Closing and not be merged therein. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary hereinabove set forth, the parties may disclose such information (i) on a need-to-know basis to its employees, agents, consultants, members of professional firms serving it or potential lenders, investors, consultants and brokers, on a confidential basis, such terms of this Agreement as are customarily disclosed to such parties in connection with similar acquisitions, (ii) as any governmental agency may require in order to comply with applicable Laws or a court order or as may be required for any disclosure or filing requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) and the rules promulgated thereunder or any authority governing disclosure filings required by applicable law, or (iii) to the extent that such information is a matter of public record. In addition, notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event any such information is made publicly available in accordance with the terms of this Section 14, then such information may be used in any collateral sales material used in connection with a public offering of securities by the Purchaser and/or its Registered Company (as defined in Section 15); provided, that Seller makes no representation or warranty of any kind regarding such information and shall have no liability to Purchaser or any other party with respect to such information or the use thereof by Purchaser as just described.
15. SEC S-X 3-14 Audit. Seller acknowledges that Purchaser is, or may elect to assign all of its right, title and interest in and to the Purchase Agreement to, a company that is subject to the requirements of the Exchange Act and/or the Securities Act (a “Registered Company”) promoted by the Purchaser or to an affiliate of a Registered Company (a “Registered Company Affiliate”). In the event Purchaser is a
18
Registered Company or Purchaser’s assignee under the Agreement is a Registered Company or a Registered Company Affiliate, the Registered Company may be required to make certain filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) required under SEC Rule 3-05 and/or Rule 3-14 of Regulation S-X (the “SEC Filings”) that relate to previous fiscal years for the Property and/or the tenant of the Property.
