The Purchase Price shall be paid by delivery of immediately available funds to Benchmark Title, LLC, 2000 McKinney Ave., 4th Floor, Dallas, Texas 75201, Attn: Ben Gibbins (the “Title Company”) on or before the Closing Date.

c. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 1.02, if Purchaser has not entered into, closed and received a disbursement of all or a portion of the proceeds from the Acquisition Loan (the “Acquisition Loan Closing”) on or prior to the Closing Date, then at Closing, Purchaser shall deliver to the Title Company the amount of $440,000.00 to be held in escrow (the “Price Adjustment Escrow”). The Price Adjustment Escrow shall be held and distributed in accordance with the terms of a separate escrow agreement (the “Price Adjustment Escrow Agreement”) to be entered into at Closing by and among Seller, Purchaser and the Title Company, the terms of which shall include, without limitation, the following: (i) within three (3) Business Days after the Acquisition Loan Closing, Purchaser shall deliver written notice to Seller and the Title Company of the Profit Rate payable under the Acquisition Loan, and (ii) within three (3) Business Days after receipt of such notice, the Title Company shall disburse to Seller from the Price Adjustment Escrow the amount payable to Seller under Section 1.02(b) (if any), and any remaining funds in the Price Adjustment Escrow shall be disbursed to Purchaser, and (iii) if the Acquisition Loan Closing has not occurred on or before the date that is eighteen (18) months after the Closing Date, then the entire Price Adjustment Escrow shall be disbursed to Purchaser.

Purchaser further agrees that it shall be solely responsible for any and all costs associated with the inspections described in thisSection 1.04(b) and agrees to immediately discharge any liens that are filed against the Property as a result of such inspections. Immediately following each such inspection, Purchaser shall restore the Property to the same condition as existed prior to such inspections. The obligations of Purchaser under thisSection 1.04(b) shall survive the Closing and any termination of this Agreement.

In the event Seller fails to satisfy any such objection within ten (10) days after its receipt of the Objection Notice with respect to any Title Update (such ten (10) day period being called the “Supplemental Cure Period”), Purchaser may, at its option, and as its sole and exclusive remedy either (x) accept the

Land subject to the objections raised by Purchaser, without an adjustment in the Purchase Price, in which such objections shall be deemed to have been waived for all purposes or (y) terminate this Agreement by written notice delivered to the Title Company and Seller prior to the later of (1) expiration of the Inspection Period and (2) 5:00 p.m. EST on the date which is three (3) days after the final day of the Supplemental Cure Period, in which event the Escrow Deposit shall be promptly returned to Purchaser by the Title Company and this Agreement shall be of no further force or effect.

ARTICLE V.
CONDEMNATION
5.01 Casualty. If prior to the Closing, any fire or casualty damage to the Property occurs and such damage entitles Tenant to terminate the Lease, Purchaser shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by written notice delivered to Seller and upon such termination, the Escrow Deposit shall be delivered to Purchaser. If Purchaser does not elect to terminate this Agreement, or in the event of fire or casualty damage does not give Tenant the right to terminate the Lease, then the Closing shall take place as provided in this Agreement without any offset against or deduction from the Purchase Price, provided, there shall be credited to Purchaser against the Purchase Price the amount of any insurance deductible or other limitation on
13
insurance proceeds to the extent payable by the landlord under the Lease, and, to the extent Seller maintains fire and casualty insurance covering the Property (as opposed to Tenant maintaining such coverage), Seller shall assign to Purchaser at the Closing all of its rights to receive insurance proceeds payable with respect to such damage, including, without limitation, any insurance proceeds payable under policies maintained by Tenant (other than rental loss insurance proceeds applicable to the period prior to the Closing). Purchaser and Seller agree that the Uniform Vendor-Purchaser Risk of Loss Act shall not apply to this Agreement.
5.02 Condemnation. Seller shall deliver to Purchaser written notice of any pending, proposed or threatened taking or condemnation of all or any portion of the Land of which Seller receives notice prior to the Closing. If prior to the Closing, any taking or condemnation of all or any material portion of the Land is proposed or threatened, or if Seller or Purchaser receive notice that any such taking or condemnation is pending, and if such proposed or threatened taking would permit Tenant to terminate the Lease, then in such event, Purchaser shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by written notice delivered to Seller within ten (10) days after Purchaser receives notice of such pending, proposed or threatened taking or condemnation and upon such termination, the Escrow Deposit shall be refunded to Purchaser. If Purchaser does not elect to terminate this Agreement, then the Closing shall take place as provided in this Agreement without any offset against, or deduction from, the Purchase Price and there shall be assigned to Purchaser at the Closing all right, title and interest of Seller in and to all condemnation proceeds which may be paid or payable with respect to the Land.
ARTICLE VI.
PROVISIONS WITH RESPECT TO DEFAULT
6.01 Default by Seller. In the event Seller fails to consummate the Closing for any reason, except for a default by Purchaser, Purchaser may, at its election and as its sole and exclusive remedy, either (a) terminate this Agreement and receive a refund of the Escrow Deposit from the Title Company, together with a reimbursement payable by Seller to Purchaser for Purchaser’s actual out-of-pocket costs incurred in connection with the transaction contemplated herein in an amount not to exceed $100,000, or (b) bring an action to enforce specific performance of this Agreement against Seller, provided that such action is commenced within sixty (60) days after the Closing Date. Except as provided inSection 7.11 below, Purchaser specifically waives all other rights and remedies, including, without limitation, the right to recover actual, punitive, speculative, consequential or other damages and the right to file any lien, notice, petition, memorandum, lis pendens or other instrument in the real estate records of the appropriate county or otherwise.
6.02 Default by Purchaser. In the event Purchaser fails to perform any of its obligations hereunder or fails to purchase the Property for any reason, except for a default by Seller as provided inSection 6.01 above or as otherwise expressly permitted in accordance with the terms of this Agreement (including, without limitation, Section 1.04), Seller may, at its election and as its sole and exclusive remedy (except as provided inSection 7.11 below), terminate this Agreement and receive the Escrow Deposit from the Title Company as liquidated damages. The parties have agreed that Seller’s actual damages, in the event of Purchaser’s failure to close in breach of this Agreement, would be extremely difficult or impracticable to determine.
14
Therefore, the parties acknowledge that the Escrow Deposit has been agreed upon, after negotiation, as the parties’ reasonable estimate of Seller’s damages. The provisions of thisSection 6.02 shall not limit or affect any of Purchaser’s indemnities as provided in other Sections of this Agreement.
