(30) days, and (b) pay to SELLER, on or before the initial date of Closing, an
extension payment ("First Extension Payment) in an amount equal to the product
of the following calculation: (Purchase Price 8%) / 12 (By way of example, if

4. Title and Survey Review. (a) Within fifteen (15) days from the date a
-----------------------
fully executed copy of this Agreement is received by BUYER, SELLER shall:
(i) cause the Title Company to issue, and deliver to SELLER and
BUYER, a preliminary title report and commitment for an Owner Policy
of Title Insurance to be in favor of BUYER covering the Property in
the amount of the Purchase Price (the "Title Commitment"), which Title
Commitment shall be accompanied by legible copies of all recorded
documents relating to easements, rights-of-way, and other matters
affecting title thereto;
(ii) cause a current boundary survey of the Property (the
"Survey") prepared by Halff Associates, Inc. (as applicable, the
"Surveyor") to be prepared and
3
delivered to BUYER and the Title Company. The Survey shall be
certified to BUYER, SELLER, and the Title Company, shall specify the
Net Square Feet and the gross number of square feet in the Property,
and shall otherwise be in a form acceptable to the Title Company to
permit, at BUYER'S sole cost and election, modification of the survey
exception to the Owner's Policy of Title Insurance to be delivered to
BUYER pursuant to Section 6 hereof to read "shortages in area" only.
SELLER shall pay for the cost of the Survey initially, but if under
any circumstances whatsoever (other than a SELLER default or
termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 8) this Agreement is
terminated and BUYER is entitled to a refund of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Money,
then anything to the contrary notwithstanding the cost of the Survey
shall be paid (or reimbursed to SELLER) out of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Money, but
in an amount not to exceed $4,000.00, before the remainder thereof is
returned to BUYER;
(iii) deliver or cause to be delivered to BUYER such existing
studies and reports specifically regarding the Property that are
within SELLER's possession; BUYER acknowledges that SELLER has
satisfied SELLER's obligations set forth in this clause (iii).
(b) BUYER shall, within thirty (30) days after receipt of the latest
to be delivered of the items in (a)(i) and (ii) above, give SELLER written
notice of any objections to title to the Property, or to the gross square
footage of the Property, as shown on the Survey, indicating that the Property is
less than 14.8 acres in size. BUYER'S failure to timely give such written notice
of objection shall be deemed to be BUYER'S approval of items (a)(i) and (ii)
above, and all matters shown therein and not objected to by BUYER shall be
deemed approved by BUYER for all purposes hereof and shall be "Permitted
Exceptions." Liens of any kind shall always be a non-permitted exception
whether or not BUYER objects to such lien.
(c) In the event BUYER objects to any of the items or matters
contemplated in items (a)(i) or (ii) above SELLER may undertake, but shall not
be obligated to undertake, to eliminate or modify all such matters to which
BUYER has objected to the reasonable satisfaction of BUYER prior to the Closing.
In the event SELLER elects not to or fails to eliminate or modify such matters
to which BUYER has objected within such period, BUYER shall have the right to
terminate this Agreement by written notice to SELLER prior to the Closing,
whereupon the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Money (less $100 which shall be paid over to SELLER as
independent consideration for the execution of this Agreement) shall be promptly
returned to BUYER and this Agreement shall be null and void and of no further
force or effect. If BUYER fails to terminate this Agreement within such period
BUYER shall be deemed to have waived any remaining unsatisfied objections, and
any such remaining matters shall thereafter be deemed approved by BUYER and
shall be "Permitted Exceptions" for all purposes. In such event no adjustment
shall be made in the Purchase Price, unless hereafter otherwise agreed in
writing by the parties hereto.
5. Inspection Period.
-----------------
4
(a) BUYER shall have a period of sixty (60) days after the date a
fully executed copy of this Agreement is received by BUYER ("Inspection Period")
to examine the Property to determine its adequacy for BUYER'S needs. In the
event BUYER objects, in its sole discretion, on or before the end of the
Inspection Period, to the results of Studies (as defined below), or otherwise
determines the Property is unacceptable to BUYER, or for any reason or no
reason, BUYER shall have the right to terminate this Agreement, in its sole
discretion, by written notice to SELLER on or before the end of the Inspection
Period. In the event BUYER fails to give notice of termination of this Agreement
prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period BUYER shall be deemed to have
waived its right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 5. If BUYER
timely does so terminate the Agreement, the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Money (less $100 to be paid
to SELLER as independent consideration for the execution of this Agreement)
shall be returned to BUYER by the Title Company.
(b) During the Inspection Period, at BUYER'S sole cost and expense,
BUYER shall have the right to conduct such environmental, soil, engineering, or
any other studies on the Property (collectively referred to as the "Studies") as
BUYER deems appropriate in its sole discretion, and to go on the Property for
the purpose of conducting the Studies. BUYER agrees to pay promptly any and all
costs and expenses incurred by BUYER in connection with the Studies, and to
allow no liens to accrue or become affixed against the Property or any portion
thereof on account of the Studies. Further, BUYER shall be responsible for any
damages caused by the persons conducting the Studies in the exercise of BUYER'S
rights to do so hereunder, including BUYER, its employees, contractors or
agents, and BUYER agrees to indemnify and hold SELLER harmless from any and all
liens, claims, damages, demands, suits, actions or causes of action arising out
of BUYER'S exercise of its rights to conduct the Studies hereunder. BUYER
further agrees that it shall not interfere with the reasonable use of the
Property by SELLER during the Inspection Period. In the event BUYER terminates
this Agreement prior to the Closing pursuant to any provision hereof, or fails
to consummate the Closing of the transactions provided for in this Agreement for
any other reason, BUYER agrees to provide to SELLER copies of any and all
reports of the Studies regarding the Property prepared pursuant to this Section
5.
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, BUYER shall not conduct any
environmental tests that involve drilling or core samples, or any other so-
called "Phase II" environmental testing, without the prior written permission of
SELLER, which permission may be withheld in SELLER'S sole and absolute
discretion. However, in the event BUYER reasonably concludes from a so-called
"Phase I" environmental test that any condition or uncertainty exists with
regard to the environmental condition of the Property that might be explained or
resolved by additional "Phase II" testing, and SELLER does not consent to such
additional "Phase II" testing, BUYER shall have the right to terminate this
Agreement by written notice to SELLER prior to the end of the Inspection Period,
whereupon the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Money (less $100 which shall be paid over to SELLER as
independent consideration for the execution of this Agreement) shall be promptly
returned to BUYER and this Agreement shall be null and void and of no further
force or effect.
The obligations of BUYER to SELLER under the foregoing provisions shall
survive Closing and/or any termination of this Agreement.
5
6. Owner's Title Policy. At the Closing SELLER shall cause to be
--------------------
furnished to BUYER a standard Owner Policy of Title Insurance as used in the
State of Texas, issued by the Title Company, insuring the good and indefeasible
fee simple title of BUYER to the Property in the amount of the Purchase Price.
The basic cost of such Owner Policy of Title Insurance shall be paid by SELLER,
but if BUYER elects to have the survey exception modified to read "shortages in
area" only, the additional premium for such modification shall be paid by BUYER.
The only exceptions to said Owner Policy of Title Insurance shall be as follows:
(a) The standard printed exceptions contained therein, provided,
however, (i) the exception relating to restrictive covenants shall specifically
describe all recorded restrictive covenants that are approved or deemed approved
by BUYER pursuant to Section 4 hereof; (ii) at the election and sole cost of
BUYER, the survey exception shall be modified to read "shortages in area" only;
(iii) the exception for taxes shall be limited to standby fees and taxes for the
year of Closing and subsequent years and subsequent assessments for prior years
due to change in land usage or ownership; and (iv) there shall be no exception
for visible or apparent easements or for the rights of parties in possession;
(b) the Permitted Exceptions;
(c) the Declaration and Supplemental Declaration (as hereinafter
defined);
(d) the Zoning Agreement;
(e) the Repurchase Option provided for in Section 11(d) hereof;

or liens caused by the actions of BUYER.
7. Expenses. Real estate taxes and Owner's Association (defined below)
--------
assessments relating to the Property shall be prorated at the Closing between
the parties hereto as of the date of Closing. If the Closing occurs before the
tax rate is fixed for the year of Closing, the apportionment of real estate
taxes shall be upon the basis of real estate taxes for the preceding year and a
cash adjustment shall be made between the parties at such time as the real
estate tax statements for the year of Closing are available. Each party shall
pay for its own attorneys' fees. Title Company fees and charges shall be shared
equally by the parties, except: (i) the basic cost of the Owner's Policy of
Title Insurance covering the Property, and any other premiums in respect of the
required Title Policy other than as provided in clause (ii) below, shall be paid
by SELLER; (ii) the cost of the modification of the survey exception in the
Owner's Policy of Title Insurance to read "shortages in area" only, if elected
by BUYER, shall be paid by BUYER; and (iii) any recording costs, and all costs
or charges associated with any financing and/or equity investment that BUYER may
utilize shall be borne solely by BUYER. Any "rollback" taxes assessed against
the Property relating to periods prior to Closing as a result of a change in use
of the Property subsequent to the Closing shall be borne by SELLER.
