Even though this Agreement is not yet binding and in effect, if Seller fails to comply with the requirements of the preceding sentence, then Purchaser's offer evidenced by its execution and submission of this Agreement to Seller shall automatically be deemed revoked and void. Seller represents and warrants to Purchaser that prior to the date of Purchaser's execution and delivery of this Agreement to Seller, Seller has delivered the Termination to the Title Company together with written instructions to the Title Company authorizing the Title Company to record the Termination upon the Closing pursuant to this Agreement, and it is a condition to Seller's execution and acceptance of this Agreement that such Termination will have remained on deposit with the Title Company at the same time Seller executes and accepts this Agreement. Seller shall not revoke its escrow instructions for the Termination or withdraw the Termination from the possession of the Title Company prior to Closing or termination of this Agreement.

10.Defaults and Remedies.
(a)Seller's Default. If Seller fails to perform any of Sellers obligations under this Agreement for any reason other than (i) the termination of this Agreement by Seller or Purchaser pursuant to any right to terminate expressly set forth in this Agreement (other than this Section), or (ii) Purchaser's failure to perform Purchaser's obligations when required to be performed under this Agreement, and such default by Seller (other than default in performance due at Closing, for which there is no notice or cure right) is not cured by the sooner of Closing or five (5) business days after Purchaser gives Seller written notice of such default, or if any of Seller's representations or warranties set forth in this Agreement are found to be materially inaccurate or untrue prior to or at Closing, then Purchaser, at Purchaser's option and (except as set forth below) as Purchaser's sole and exclusive remedy, shall have the right.
(i)to terminate this Agreement by giving written notice thereof to Seller, whereupon all Earnest Money shall be refunded to Purchaser free and clear of all rights and claims of Seller with respect thereto, and neither Purchaser (except as provided below in this Section 10(a))nor Seller shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder except for the Surviving Duties; or
(ii)to enforce specific performance of the obligations of Seller under this Agreement and collect from Seller in such proceeding all of Purchaser's costs of court and legal fees incurred in connection therewith.
The foregoing remedies are, however, in addition to Purchaser's rights, as they may exist at law, to obtain injunctive or equitable relief to prevent Seller's breach, threatened breach or continued breach of any pre-Closing covenant of Seller under this Agreement, or to obtain declaratory judgment relief where applicable. Regardless of which remedy is selected by Purchaser, if Seller has made a material misrepresentation or materially breached a warranty contained in this Agreement, then Purchaser shall also be entitled to recover from Seller any damages suffered by Purchaser by reason thereof subject to the limitations set forth below; provided, however, that any suit or action for breach of any of the representations or warranties of Seller set forth herein must be filed with a court of competent jurisdiction within the Survival Period or any claim based thereon shall be deemed irrevocably waived. Unless expressly made to survive, all other obligations and covenants of Seller contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to have been merged into the Deed and shall not survive the Closing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, if actions taken by Seller make it impractical or impossible for Purchaser to obtain the substantial benefit of its bargain by enforcement of specific performance against Seller, then Purchaser shall be entitled as an additional remedy (unless and until it elects option (2) hereof) to recover from Seller damages in the amount of its out of pocket costs and expenses in connection with this Agreement not to exceed One Hundred Fifty Thousand and No/00 Dollars ($150,000.00) plus its other proven damages not to exceed an additional One Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($150,000.00). The foregoing provisions do not govern the remedies of the parties after Closing with regard to obligations and liabilities of the parties under this Agreement which survive Closing, or arising under documents delivered by the parties to consummate the Closing of this transaction, such as claims under a warranty of title in the Deed, etc.
If Purchaser notifies Seller within one (1) year after Closing (the "Survival Period') that Purchaser discovered post-Closing that any representation or warranty made by Seller in this Agreement was not true and correct in any material respect and specifying the breach with particularity, subject to the limitations set forth below, Purchaser shall have available all remedies at law or in equity as a consequence thereof. If Purchaser does not notify Seller of the breach of any of its representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement and institute a lawsuit therefor in a court of competent jurisdiction prior to the expiration of the Survival Period after the Closing, Purchaser shall be deemed to have waived all of its rights to claim and sue for any breach by Seller of any of its representations and warranties made in this Agreement. Further, Purchaser agrees that any recovery against Seller in respect of Seller's covenants, indemnities, representations or warranties hereunder or under any other agreement, document, certificate or instrument delivered by Seller to Purchaser hereunder at Closing other than claims under the Indemnity Agreement and the Deed, or under any law applicable to the Property or this transaction, shall be limited to Purchaser's actual damages (including consequential damages if and to the extent permitted by law) not in excess of ten percent (10%) of the Purchase Price paid to Seller at Closing in the aggregate for all such claims collectively, and that in no event shall Purchaser be entitled to seek or obtain any other damages of any kind, including, without limitation, speculative or punitive damages, or actual or consequential damages in excess of the stated cap. It is acknowledged that this cap applies in the aggregate to all damages collectively. The aforesaid cap on Purchaser's recoverable damages shall not apply to (and shall exclude) Seller's indemnity obligations in the Indemnity Agreement, Seller's warranty of title in the Deed, Seller's post-Closing proration adjustment obligations, and reasonable attorneys' fees, costs of litigation, and court costs.
(b)Purchaser's Default. If Purchaser fails to perform any of Purchaser's obligations under this Agreement for any reason other than (i) the termination of this Agreement by Seller or Purchaser pursuant to any right to terminate expressly set forth in this Agreement (other than this Section), or (ii) Seller's failure to perform Seller's obligations when required to be perfomed
- 9 -
[Real Estate Purchase and Sale Agreement (Jones Spoils Tracts) - Pasadena Nitrogen LLC, Seller, and CPB Properties, LLC, Purchaser]
under this Agreement, and such default by Purchaser (other than default in performance due at Closing, for which there is no notice or cure right) is not cured by the sooner of Closing or five (5) business days after Seller gives Purchaser written notice of such default, then Seller, as Seller's sole and exclusive remedy, shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by giving written notice thereof to Purchaser, in which event the Earnest Money shall be delivered to Seller as liquidated damages free and clear of all rights and claims of Purchaser with respect thereto, and neither Purchaser nor Seller shall have any further rights or obligations under this Agreement. Seller hereby expressly waives all remedies and causes of action against Purchaser for Purchaser's failure to perform any of Purchaser's obligations at Closing other than the liquidated damages provided for in this Section 12(b), including, without limitation, any right to enforce specific performance of Purchaser's obligations. The foregoing remedies are, however, in addition to Seller's rights, as they may exist at law, to obtain injunctive or equitable relief to prevent Purchaser's breach, threatened breach or continued breach of any pre-Closing covenant of Purchaser under this Agreement, but Seller is waiving the right to seek specific performance of Purchaser's obligations to close this transaction. Nothing herein shall be construed as a waiver of or limit Seller's right to pursue all remedies against Purchaser at law and in equity with respect to Surviving Duties and any post-Closing obligations of Purchaser, including, without limitation, Purchaser's obligations under the Indemnity Agreement.
11.Real Estate Commission. Purchaser and Seller each represents to the other that there are no real estate agents or brokers entitled to a commission in connection with this purchase and sale of the Property as the result of any act, deed, promise or agreement of such party, other than CBRE, Inc. ("Purchaser's Broker"). Purchaser hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Seller from and against any and all claims of any agent, broker, finder or other similar party (other than Purchaser's Broker) claiming through Purchaser, and Seller hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Purchaser from and against any and all claims of any agent, broker, finder or other similar party (including Brokers) claiming through Seller. Seller hereby agrees to pay Purchaser's Broker in cash, at and only in the event of a Closing of this transaction, a real estate commission equal to three percent (3.0%) of the Purchase Price calculated in accordance with the provisions of Section 2 hereof.
12.Seller's Non-Foreign Status. Seller represents and warrants that Seller is not a "foreign person," as defined in Section 1445 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and in the Rules and Regulations promulgated by the Treasury Department with respect thereto (collectively, "Federal Tax Law"). Therefore, at the Closing, Seller will deliver to Purchaser a certificate so stating, subscribed and sworn to by Seller, complying with Federal Tax Law (the "Certificate as to Non-Foreign Status"). If Seller fails to deliver the Certificate as to Non-Foreign Status at the Closing, subscribed and sworn to as described above, then, in either such event, the Title Company is hereby authorized to withhold from the Purchase Price otherwise payable to Seller, all sums required to be withheld by Purchaser under Federal Tax Law (and if the cash portion of the Purchase Price is insufficient for such purpose, then Seller shall deliver the shortfall in cash into escrow with the Title Company at Closing), and the Title Company will deliver such amount withheld (and/or delivered by Seller) to the Internal Revenue Service together with the appropriate forms prescribed by the U.S. Department of the Treasury, with copies being contemporaneously sent to both Seller and Purchaser.
13.Time. Time is of the essence in all matters pertaining to the performance of this Agreement.
14.Notices. Any notice, demand or request which may be permitted, required or desired to be given in connection therewith shall be given in writing and directed to Seller and purchaser as follows:

Notices shall be sent and given, and deemed properly delivered and received, only as follows: (i) on the date delivered to the party's effective notice address hereunder, if hand delivered; (ii) on the date delivered to the party's effective notice address hereunder, if delivered by nationally-recognized overnight courier or private, receipted same-day courier; (iii) on the earlier of the date of actual delivery at the party's effective notice address hereunder (which will be deemed the date of first attempted delivery if refused or left unclaimed), or three (3) postal business days after deposited in the care, custody or control of the U.S. Postal Service, if by U.S. Mail, registered or certified, return receipt requested, properly addressed and postage prepaid, or (iv) on the date sent via facsimile transmission and confirmed as successful delivery by the sender’s transmission equipment, provided that the sender contemporaneously sends such notice by regular U.S. mail (or any other means allowed for delivery above). Any party may change its notice address and/or facsimile number for purposes hereof to any address within the continental United States that is (or includes) a street address that allows overnight delivery to such address by giving written notice of such change to the other parties hereto at least fifteen (15) days prior to the intended effective date of such change. Notwithstanding that email addresses are provided herein, email shall not be an effective means of giving notice under this Agreement for any purpose even if actually received and read.
15.Authority. Each party to this Agreement warrants and represents to the other that such party has full power and authority to enter into and perform its obligations under this Agreement in the names, titles and capacities herein stated and on behalf of any entities, persons, estates or firms represented or purported to be represented by such person, and that all approvals, consents and authorizations necessary or required by any state and/or federal law or private agreement in order for such party to enter into and perform its obligations under this Agreement have been obtained and all legal requirements fully complied with.
16.Condemnation.
(a)Risk of Loss. Seller shall bear all risk of condemnation of the Property until the Closing.
(b)Purchaser's Option to Cancel. If prior to the Closing any material portion of the Property is taken by eminent domain, or made the subject of condemnation proceedings (or proposed or threatened condemnation proceedings), Seller shall
- 11 -
[Real Estate Purchase and Sale Agreement (Jones Spoils Tracts) - Pasadena Nitrogen LLC, Seller, and CPB Properties, LLC, Purchaser]
give Purchaser prompt written notice thereof and Purchaser may elect, by written notice to Seller within twenty (20) days after Purchaser shall have received written notice of such event from Seller, to cancel this Agreement without further liability. If Purchaser elects to cancel this Agreement, as aforesaid, then the Title Company will return the Earnest Money (and any Extension Payment) to Purchaser free and clear of all rights and claims of Seller with respect thereto, and thereafter neither Seller nor Purchaser shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder except for the Surviving Duties. For purposes hereof, a "material portion of the Property" means any portion of the Property that Purchaser determines in its good faith judgment will have a material, adverse affect on Purchaser's proposed use, improvement or operation of the Property after Closing for the purposes contemplated by Purchaser, or will materially impede full exercise or use of important access, drainage or other appurtenances to (or comprising part of) the Property, or will materially increase the cost of operation of the Property for Purchaser's intended uses, or materially reduce the resale value of the Property or future legally permitted uses to which it may be put in the future.
(c)Failure to Cancel. If any portion of the Property is taken by eminent domain or made the subject of condemnation proceedings (or proposed or threatened condemnation proceedings); and Purchaser does not elect to cancel this Agreement pursuant to Section 16(b) hereof, then at the Closing the following shall occur:
(i)Seller shall credit on account of the Purchase Price the amount of all condemnation awards actually received by Seller (whether retained by Seller or paid directly to the holder of any lien on the Property).
(ii)Seller shall also assign, transfer and set over to Purchaser all of Seller's right, title and interest in and to any awards that may be made with respect to any pending or future condemnation proceeding
(d)Control of Condemnation Proceedings After Purchaser is "At-Risk". If Purchaser has not cancelled this Agreement, Purchaser shall be entitled to participate in any condemnation proceeding on an equal basis with Seller and veto any proposed award or settlement offer not acceptable to Purchaser. If Seller's lienholder on the Property is entitled under its lien instruments to control such condemnation proceeding, and if such lienholder makes any material substantive decision in such proceeding that is unacceptable to Purchaser in Purchaser's sole and absolute (including arbitrary) discretion, then Purchaser shall be entitled to terminate this Agreement by written notice to Seller and receive a full refund of the Earnest Money free and clear of all rights and claims of Seller with respect thereto, and neither Seller nor Purchaser shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder except for Surviving Duties.
17.Entire Agreement. This Agreement represents the entire agreement by and between Purchaser and Seller with regard to the subject matter dealt with herein, and it may not be modified except by written amendment executed by Purchaser and Seller.
18.Effective Date. The "Effective Date" hereof is the date on which the Title Company receives one or more fully executed copies of this Agreement, signed by Seller and Purchaser (including if delivered by fax or electronically), as indicated on its receipt signature page to this Agreement.
19.Successors and Assigns. The terms and provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective heirs, personal representatives, successors and permitted assigns. Seller hereby acknowledges and agrees that Purchaser may assign all or part of its interest in this Agreement to any person or entity without the prior consent of Seller; provided, however, no such assignment shall release Purchaser from any of its liabilities or obligations under or with respect to this Agreement.
20.Governing Law. The terms, provisions and conditions of this Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas. Venue for all suits and actions arising out of or in connection with this Agreement shall be proper only in the state and federal courts sitting in Harris County, Texas, and each party hereby consents to the assertion of personal jurisdiction by such courts over such party for the limited purposes of such suit but does not waive requirement for service of process in the manner prescribed by law.
21.Severability. If any provision of this Agreement shall, for any reason, be held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, then the other provisions of this Agreement shall not be rendered invalid or otherwise affected thereby, all of which remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.
- 12 -
[Real Estate Purchase and Sale Agreement (Jones Spoils Tracts) - Pasadena Nitrogen LLC, Seller, and CPB Properties, LLC, Purchaser]
22.Survival of Covenants; Further Assurances. The representations, warranties and covenants of Seller contained in this Agreement shall (to the extent not fully performed at or before Closing) survive the Closing. Seller and Purchaser each agree to execute and deliver such other documents, on or after the Closing Date, as are reasonably necessary to give effect to and carry out the transaction herein contemplated.
23.Exhibits. All exhibits referenced in this Agreement as being attached hereto are incorporated herein by this reference and shall constitute a part of the terms, covenants, conditions and provisions hereof, as if set forth herein verbatim (except to the extent that an Exhibit is an existing executed document or Closing document form, in which event they are incorporated for information and reference only and the terms thereof are not binding on the parties unless and until executed as a Closing document delivered under the terms hereof).
24.Certain Required Notices/Disclosures.
(a)Notice Regarding Possible Liability For Additional Taxes. If for the current ad valorem tax year the taxable value of the Property is determined by a special appraisal method that allows for appraisal of the Property at less than its market value, Purchaser may not be allowed to qualify the Property for that special appraisal in a subsequent year and the Property may then be appraised at its full market value. In addition, the transfer of the Property or a subsequent change in the use of the Property may result in the imposition of an additional tax plus interest as a penalty for the transfer or the change in use of the Property. The taxable value of the Property and the applicable method of appraisal for the current tax year is public information and may be obtained from the tax appraisal district established for the county in which the Property is located. If Seller has claimed the benefit of laws permitting a special use valuation for the purpose of ad valorem taxes on the Property and if, after the Closing, Purchaser changes the use of the Property from its present use and such change results in the assessment of additional taxes, then those additional taxes will be Purchaser's obligation, notwithstanding that some or all of those additional taxes may relate back to the period prior to Closing.
(b)Notice Regarding Possible Annexation. IF ANY PORTION OF THE PROPERTY IS LOCATED OUTSIDE THE LIMITS OF A MUNICIPALITY, THE PROPERTY MAY NOW OR LATER BE INCLUDED IN THE EXTRATERRITORIAL JURISDICTION OF A MUNICIPALITY AND MAY NOW OR LATER BE SUBJECT TO ANNEXATION BY THE MUNICIPALITY. EACH MUNICIPALITY MAINTAINS A MAP THAT DEPICTS ITS BOUNDARIES AND EXTRATERRITORIAL JURISDICTION. TO DETERMINE IF ANY PORTION OF THE PROPERTY IS LOCATED WITHIN A MUNICIPALITY'S EXTRATERRITORIAL JURISDICTION OR IS LIKELY TO BE LOCATED WITHIN A MUNICIPALITY'S EXTRATERRITORIAL JURISDICTION, PURCHASER IS ADVISED TO CONTACT ALL MUNICIPALITIES LOCATED IN THE GENERAL PROXIMITY OF THE PROPERTY FOR FURTHER INFORMATION.
(c)Real Estate Broker Notice to Purchaser. The Texas Real Estate License Act requires that Purchaser be advised that he should either (i) have an attorney examine an abstract of title to the Property, or (ii) obtain a title insurance policy covering the Property. Notice to that effect is, therefore, hereby given to and acknowledged by Purchaser.
(d)Disclosure Regarding Landfill. Seller has disclosed to Purchaser that a portion of Tract 1 of the Property is affected by a closed municipal landfill as delineated on the drawing attached hereto as Exhibit H (the ''Landfill"). The Indemnity Agreement will provide that Purchaser and Orion will indemnify and defend Seller from and against any claims, liabilities, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorney fees) arising as a result of any operations conducted by Purchaser or its successors or assigns on the Landfill, including, without limitation, any excavation, drilling or construction thereon.
25.Surviving Duties. The term "Surviving Duties" shall mean any and all duties or obligations which are expressly stated to survive termination of this Agreement or Closing hereunder, including, without limitation, Purchaser's obligations contained in Section 4 hereof and any indemnity obligations set forth herein.
26.Saturday, Sunday or Legal Holiday. If any date set forth in this Agreement for the performance of any obligation by Purchaser or Seller or for the delivery of any instrument or notice should be on a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday, then the compliance with such obligations or delivery shall be deemed acceptable on the next business day following such Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday. For purposes of this Section, "legal holiday" shall mean any state or federal holiday for which financial institutions or post offices are generally closed in Harris County, Texas, for the observance thereof.
27.Headings; Construction. The headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not modify or affect this Agreement in any manner whatsoever. Wherever required by the context, any gender shall include any other gender, the singular shall include the plural, and the plural shall include the singular. All references in this Agreement to "herein",
- 13 -
[Real Estate Purchase and Sale Agreement (Jones Spoils Tracts) - Pasadena Nitrogen LLC, Seller, and CPB Properties, LLC, Purchaser]
"hereunder" or "hereby" shall refer to this entire Agreement rather than any particular section, paragraph, subparagraph, clause or provision, unless specifically stated otherwise.
28.Time of Acceptance. In the event Seller shall fail, by 5 :00 P .M., local Houston (Texas) time, on February 25, 2014, to accept this Agreement by executing a counterpart of this Agreement in the space provided for Seller's signature, and causing Agrifos to execute a counterpart of this Agreement in the space provided for Agrifos' signature (Agrifos' signature being a condition to Seller's acceptance hereof and to the binding effectiveness of this Agreement), and delivering such Seller and Agrifos executed counterparts to the Title Company (in original signature form, or by telecopy/fax, or in PDF email file), then the offer evidenced by Purchaser's execution and delivery of this Agreement (the "Offer") shall automatically terminate and be deemed revoked; the parties acknowledge that Purchaser shall have the right to withdraw the Offer by written notice to Seller at any time prior to acceptance of this Agreement as aforesaid. It is a condition to the effectiveness of this Agreement that Purchaser, Seller and Agrifos execute and deliver this Agreement. Contemporaneously with such acceptance by Seller, Seller shall send a copy of the fully executed Agreement to Purchaser. Immediately upon receipt of the fully executed Agreement by the Title Company, the Title Company shall receipt for same in the space provided below and promptly deliver a fully executed, receipted copy of this Agreement to Seller and one to Purchaser. This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original but all of which shall together constitute one and the same Agreement. This Agreement may be accepted by delivery of original signatures, or by telecopy/fax transmission or PDF email file.
29.Industrial District Agreement. At Closing, the parties will indemnify each other for certain liabilities under the Industrial District Agreement as provided in the Indemnity Agreement. After Closing, Seller and Purchaser will cooperate with each other and will use good faith commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a partial Assignment and Assumption Agreement with respect to the Industrial District Agreement which is approved by the City of Houston and on the form prescribed by the Industrial District Agreement relating only to the Property, and to attempt to have the City of Houston agree not to charge payments in lieu of tax under the Industrial District Agreement with respect to portions of the Property that are already located within and being taxed by the City of Pasadena, Texas. Seller does not warrant or represent that such partial assignment or amendment of the Industrial District Agreement can be obtained but Seller and Purchaser will cooperate in all reasonable respects (including execution of disclosure and similar documentation as required by the City) in the effort of either party to obtain such approvals; provided that neither party shall be required to incur any out of pocket expense (except its own outside counsel attorney's fees as it deems necessary) in pursuing such assignment, assumption and/or amendment of the Industrial District Agreement. The covenants and obligations of the parties contained in this Section shall survive Closing, but the covenant of cooperation shall continue only for a period ending on the earlier date of two years after Closing or the date that the aforesaid assignment and assumption is completed (or the date on which Purchaser enters into its own industrial district agreement with the City of Houston if sooner); provided, however, that if Purchaser's continuing efforts (for up to the balance of the aforesaid 2 year cooperation period) to obtain the amendment referenced above after the assignment and assumption is completed, then Seller's cooperation will continue during the balance of said 2 year period while Purchaser's efforts continue, to the extent necessary in connection with any amendment of the Industrial District Agreement.
30.Agrifos Jointly Liable with Seller. Agrifos joins herein for purposes of agreeing and hereby agrees with Purchaser, as an agreement that survives Closing, that Agrifos is jointly and severally liable with Seller for all of Seller's obligations and liabilities under this Agreement, including, but not limited to, liabilities and obligations for Seller's breaches of and defaults under this Agreement and for which Seller remains responsible after Closing under the terms of this Agreement.

Likewise, if Purchaser elects not to defend against any such Purchaser Liabilities on behalf of the Seller Parties, then it shall promptly so notify Seller and, in such event, Seller shall thereupon be entitled, at its option, to assume and control the defense of such Purchaser Liabilities through counsel of its choice. In the events that either Purchaser does not elect to conduct the defense or that Seller chooses to control its own defense as provided herein, then within sixty (60) days of receiving a request for payment or reimbursement, Purchaser shall pay the reasonable coasts and expenses of such defense, including attorneys' fees, if and to the extent required under this Agreement, and Purchaser shall reasonably cooperate with Seller in such defense. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement, if Seller is not controlling the defense of any Purchaser Liabilities, Seller may participate in such defense with counsel of its choice at its own expense. Purchaser may not settle any Purchaser Liabilities being defended on behalf of Seller without the prior written consent of Seller, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed, or conditioned.
7.3Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if a Purchaser Liability exacerbates or arises jointly, concurrently or in concert with a PHA Liability (a "Concurrent Liability"), Seller's obligations under Section 8 shall not under any circumstances exceed the PHA Liability (or the amount thereof) as it existed on the Effective Date, and Purchaser shall assume responsibility for, indemnify and hold the Seller Parties harmless pursuant to Section 7.1 and 7.4 with respect to the remainder of any Concurrent Liability. Further, if Purchaser's operations on the Property from and after the Effective Date (including the Dredge Management Activities) cause the release of or migration of Hazardous Substances that were on the Property prior to the Effective Date but which would have been released or migrated but for Purchaser's operations on the Property from and after the Effective Date (including the Dredge Management Activities) (such condition referred to as a "Dormant Environmental Condition"), then notwithstanding that such Dormant Environments Condition would otherwise constitute as PHA Liability, Purchaser shall assume responsibility for, indemnify and hold the Seller Parties harmless from such Dormant Environmental Condition pursuant to Sections 7.1 and 7.4; provided, however, that the mere discovery by Purchaser of the presence or existence of a Hazardous Substance on the property pursuant to Purchaser's ownership and non-negligent operation the Property shall not cause the presence or existence of a Hazardous Substance that would otherwise give rise to a PHA Liability to constitute a Dormant Environmental Condition, and Seller shall retain any and all liability therefore which it would otherwise have pursuant to Section 8.1, and 8.2. PURCHASER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREE THAT THE INDEMNITY SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION 7.3 WIH RESPECT TO CONCURRENT LIABILITIES AND

The Parties agree that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Seller is not assuming and cannot contractually assume any liabilities of Purchaser or any third-party that is does not have as a matter of law. Accordingly, if Seller has a defense to any PHA Liability (as a Purchaser or any third-party), through state or Eleventh Amendment sovereign or governmental immunity or otherwise, Seller is in no way waiving such rights of defenses, and Seller's agreement to retain such liabilities is subject to Seller's defenses to the underlying claims (as if they had been directly asserted against Seller in the first instance).
8.2If a final, non-appealable judgment or order is issued by a judicial, regulatory. or arbitral body or authority with proper jurisdiction over the subject matter in question is rendered holding that Purchaser pay a PHA Liability, or if a PHA Liability is settled with Seller's prior written consent, Purchaser shall have the right to bring suit against the Seller to recover any amount constituting a PHA Liability, subject to the provisions of Subsection 8.1. However, in no event shall PHA Liabilities include, nor will Seller be liable for, any amounts that do not constitute a PHA Liability or any punitive, exemplary, special or consequential damages accruing directly to Purchaser, including without limitation any loss of profits or other business loss of any sort or diminution in value of the Property; or inability to use the Property, whether Purchaser's claim be based in contract, tort, warranty, strict liability, statute, or otherwise.
8.3Subject only to the provisions set forth in Section 7, as between Seller and Purchaser, Seller hereby RELEASES Purchaser (as well as Purchaser's successor entities, if any, its affiliates and shareholders, including its officers, directors, employees and agents) from, and ASSUMES FOR ITSELF, all PHA Liabilities.

DELETION OF ARBITRATION PROVISION
(Nor applicable to the Texas Residential Owner Policy)
ARBITRATION is a common form of alternative dispute resolution. It can be a quicker and cheaper means to settle a dispute with your Title Insurance Company. However, if you agree to arbitrate, you give up your right to take the Title Company to court and your rights to discovery of evidence may be limited in the arbitration process. In addition, you cannot usually appeal an arbitrator's award.
Your policy contains an arbitration provision (shown below). It allows you or the Company to require arbitration if the amount of insurance is $1,000,000 or less. If you want to retain your right to sue the Company in case of a dispute over a claim, you must request deletion of the arbitration provision before the policy is issued. You can do this by signing this form and returning it to the Company at or before the closing of your real estate transaction or by writing to the Company.
The Arbitration provision in the Policy is as follows:
"Unless prohibited by applicable law or unless this arbitration section is deleted by specific provision in Schedule B of this policy, either the Company or the Insured may demand arbitration pursuant to the Title Insurance Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association. Arbitrable matters may include, but are not limited to, any controversy or claim between the Company and the Insured arising out of or relating to this Policy, and service of the Company in connection with its issuance or the breach of a policy provision or other obligation. All arbitrable matters when the Amount of Insurance is $1,000,000 or less SHALL BE arbitrated at the request of either the Company or the Insured, unless the insured is an individual person (as distinguished from a corporation, trust, partnership, association or other legal entity). All arbitrable matters when the Amount of Insurance is in excess of $1,000,000 shall be arbitrated only when agreed to by both the Company and the Insured.

TEXAS TITLE INSURANCE INFORMATION
|
| |
Title insurance insures you against loss resulting from certain risks to your title, | El seguro de titulo le asegura en relacion a perdidas resultants de ciertos riesgos que pueden afectar el titulo de su propiedad. |
The Commitment for Title Insurance is the title insurance company’s promise to issue the title insurance policy. The Commitment is a legal document. You should review it carefully to completely understand it before your closing date. | El Compromiso para Seguro de Titulo es la promesa de la compania aseguradora de titulas de emitir la poliza de seguro de titulo. El Compromiso es un documento legal. Usted debe leerio cuidadosamente y entendario completamente antes de la fecha para finalizar su transaccion. |
Your Commitment for Title Insurance is a legal contract between you and us. The Commitment is not an opinion or report of your title. It is a contract to issue you a policy subject to the Commitments terms and requirements.
Before issuing a Commitment for Title Insurance (the Commitment) or a Title Insurance Policy (the Policy), the Title Insurance Company (the Company) determines whether the title is insurable. This determination has already been made. Part of that determination involves the Company’s decision to insure the title except for certain risks that will not be covered by the Policy. Some of these risks are listed in Schedule B of the attached Commitment as Exceptions. Other risks are stated in the Policy as Exclusions. These risks will not be covered by the Policy. The Policy is not an abstract of title nor does a Company have an obligation to determine the ownership of any mineral interest.
-MINERALS AND MINERAL RIGHTS may not be covered by the Policy. The Company may be unwilling to insure title unless there is an exclusion or an exception as to Mineral and Mineral Rights in the Policy. Optional endorsements insuring certain risks involving minerals, and the use of improvements (excluding lawns, shrubbery and trees) and permanent buildings may be for purchase. If the title insurer issues the title policy with an exclusion or exception to the minerals and mineral rights, neither this Policy, nor the optional endorsements, ensure that the purchaser has title to the mineral rights related to the surface estate. Another part of the determination involves whether the promise to insure is conditioned upon certain requirements being met. Schedule C of the Commitment lists these requirements that must be satisfied or the Company will refuse to cover them. You may want to discuss any matters shown on Schedules B and C of the Commitment with an attorney. These matters will affect your title and your use of the land.
When your Policy is issued, the coverage will be limited by the Policy’s Exceptions, Exclusions and Conditions, defined below.
- EXCEPTIONS are title risks that a Policy generally covers but does not cover in a particular instance. Exceptions are shown on Schedule B or discussed in Schedule C of the Commitment. They can also be added if you do not comply with the Conditions section of the Commitment. When the Policy is issued, all Exceptions will be on Schedule B of the Policy.
- EXCLUSIONS are title risks that a Policy generally does not cover. Exclusions are contained in the Policy but not shown or discussed in the Commitment.
- CONDITIONS are additional provisions that qualify or limit your coverage. Conditions include your responsibilities and those of the Company. They are contained in the Policy but not shown or discussed in the Commitment. The Policy Conditions are not the same as the Commitment Conditions.
You can get a copy of the policy form approved by the Texas Department of Insurance by calling the Title Insurance Company at 1-888-678-1700 or by calling the title insurance agent that issued the Commitment. The Texas Department of Insurance may revise the policy form from time to time.
You can also get a brochure that explains the policy from the Texas Department of Insurance by calling l-800-252 -3439.
Before the Policy is issued, you may request changes in the Policy. Some of the changes to consider are:

[Real Estate Purchase and Sale Agreement (Jones Spoils Tracts) - Pasadena Nitrogen LLC, Seller, and CPB Properties, LLC, Purchaser]
Continuation of Schedule D G.F. No. 13007008
- Request amendment of the “area and boundary” exception (Schedule B, paragraph 2). To get this amendment, you must furnish a survey and comply with other requirements of the Company. On the Owner’s Policy, you must pay an additional premium for the amendment. If the survey is acceptable to the Company and if the Company’s other requirements are met, your Policy will insure you against loss because of discrepancies or conflicts in boundary lines, encroachments or protrusions, or overlapping of improvements. The Company may then decide not to insure against specific boundary or survey problems by making special exceptions in the Policy. Whether or not you request amendment of the ‘area and boundary” exception, you should determine whether you want to purchase and review a survey if a survey is not being provided to you.
- Allow the Company to add an exception to “rights of parties in possession.” if you refuse this exception, the Company or the title insurance agent may inspect the property. The Company may except to and not insure you against the rights of specific persons, such as renters, adverse owners or easement holders who occupy the land. The Company may charge you for the inspection. If you want to make your own inspection, you must sign a Waiver of inspection form and allow the Company to add this exception to your Policy.
The entire premium for a Policy must be paid when the Policy is issued. You will not owe any additional premiums unless you want to increase your coverage at a later date and the Company agrees to add an Increased Value Endorsement
CONDITIONS AND STIPULATIONS
| |

Dear Mr Cote,
As explained during our phone conversation, it is imperative that Kinder Morgan completes the work on the Jones property and meets all its obligations as described in the attached Temporary Work Access Agreement. While we have accommodated your previous requests to revise the access area and extend the term of the agreement, we cannot continue doing that. We are in the middle of a significant transaction involving the Jones property and Kinder Morgan's failure to strictly abide by the terms of the Agreement and perform its obligations thereunder could cause significant damages to our company (in the millions of dollars). Pertaining to your verbal request today to extend the term of the agreement, the most we can agree to is February 14, 2014.
Thank you for your understanding.
Hamza
