Seller and Purchaser hereby agree that if any of the aforesaid prorations cannot be calculated accurately on the Closing Date, then the same shall be calculated within thirty (30) days after the Closing Date, or as soon as sufficient information is available to permit the parties to accurately calculate such proration(s), and either party owing the other party a sum of money based on such subsequent proration(s) shall pay said sum to the other party within ten (10) days after such calculation is made and agreed upon by the parties. Any discrepancy resulting from such recalculation and any errors or omission in computing prorations at Closing shall be corrected at this time.

e. Not more than two (2) Business Days prior to Closing (Walk Though Date), a representative of Purchaser and a representative of Seller shall conduct an onsite walk-through of the then unoccupied rental units on the Property to determine whether such unoccupied rental units are in “rent ready” condition. With respect to any rental unit that is vacated on or before five (5) days prior to Closing that Seller has not placed in a “rent ready” condition before the Walk Through Date, Purchaser shall receive a credit against the Purchase Price at Closing in the amount of $500 per unit. As used herein, “‘rent ready’ condition” shall mean ready in accordance with Seller’s normal practices and procedures as of the date of this Agreement. Nothing contained in this Section shall be construed as limiting Purchaser’s rights and Seller’s obligations under the other provisions of this Agreement.

f. Seller and Purchaser shall endeavor to cause the Title Company to prepare a draft joint closing/settlement statement containing the prorations described in this Section 3.07 and deliver the same together with invoices or bills for all prorated expenses and other reasonable backup information from Seller no later than 3:00 p.m. Dallas, Texas time two (2) Business Days before Closing.

Purchaser shall deliver copies of the fully executed Tenant Notice Letters to the respective tenants noted therein promptly after Closing provided that Purchaser receives copies of the fully executed Tenant Notice Letters at Closing from Seller, and Purchaser shall indemnify, defend and hold Seller harmless from any and all suits, claims, demands, causes of action, damages, losses, fees and expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and expenses and court costs) in any way relating to Purchaser’s failure to deliver the Tenant Notice Letters to the tenants noted therein.

ARTICLE IV.

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS

a. Seller has all requisite power and authority, and has taken all actions required by its organizational documents to authorize it to execute and deliver this Agreement. The individual executing this Agreement and any other documents and instruments executed by Seller pursuant hereto has the legal power, right, and actual authority to bind Seller to the terms and conditions hereof and thereof.

b. Seller is not a “foreign person” as that term is defined in Section 1445 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and any applicable regulations promulgated thereunder.

c. There are no actions, suits or proceedings pending or, to the actual knowledge of Seller, threatened or asserted against or with respect to Seller or the Property.

d. Seller has not received written notice of, and has no actual knowledge of any condemnation action, special assessment or other imposition of any nature which is pending or being contemplated with respect to the Property or any portion thereof, other than ad valorem taxes and assessments.

a. All rent rolls provided to Purchaser are, or to be provided by Seller will be, true and correct in all material respects as of the date shown thereon.

b. Exhibit H attached hereto lists all Service Contracts. To Seller’s actual knowledge, there exist no material defaults under any Service Contract.

12


the day-to-day operations of the Property. Under no circumstances shall any individual named above have any personal liability under this Agreement.

e. Seller shall promptly notify Purchaser in writing of any event or condition known to Seller which occurs prior to Closing Date and which causes a material change in the facts relating to, or the truth of, any of the representations and warranties set forth in this Section 4.01. Such representations and warranties, as modified by Seller prior to Closing, shall survive the Closing for a period of six (6) months after the Closing and thereafter shall be of no further force and effect unless and to the extent that Purchaser shall have asserted a breach of any such representation or warranty in a written notice to Seller delivered prior to the expiration of such six (6) month period. Subject to the foregoing limitation on survival, in the event there is a material breach of one or more of the representations or warranties set forth in this Section 4.01, Purchaser shall be entitled to recover from Seller the actual damages suffered by Purchaser as a proximate result of Purchaser’s reliance upon any such representation or warranty up to a maximum aggregate amount of $250,000 (the Surviving Cap). Seller shall not be liable for any claim(s) which in the aggregate do(es) not exceed $25,000. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Purchaser acknowledges that Purchaser shall not be entitled to rely on any representation made by Seller in Section 4.01 to the extent, prior to or at Closing, Purchaser shall have or obtain actual knowledge of any information that is contradictory to such representation or warranty; provided, however, if Purchaser determines prior to Closing that any of the representations and warranties made by Seller in Section 4.01 above are not true and correct in all material respects, then Purchaser may, at its option and as its sole and exclusive remedy, by sending to Seller written notice of its election, either (i) terminate this Agreement, in which event the Escrow Deposit shall be refunded to Purchaser by the Title Company, or (ii) waive such inconsistency and proceed to Closing with no adjustment in the Purchase Price, in which event Seller shall have no further liability as to such matter thereafter. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a material breach of a representation or warranty was intentionally or willfully made by Seller, and if Purchaser elects to terminate this Agreement as a result thereof, Seller shall be obligated to reimburse Purchaser for all out-of-pocket expenses reasonably incurred by Purchaser in connection with this Agreement, not to exceed the amount of $25,000 (the Reimbursement Cap). In no event shall Seller be liable to Purchaser under this Agreement at law or in equity for indirect, special, consequential (including lost profits) or punitive damages arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or otherwise in excess of the Surviving Cap.

4.02 Representations and Warranties of Purchaser—DTPA WAIVER. Purchaser represents and warrants to Seller, both as of the Effective Date and as of the Closing Date, as follows:

PURCHASER HEREBY WAIVES TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW ANY RIGHTS, REMEDIES AND BENEFITS UNDER THE TEXAS DECEPTIVE TRADE PRACTICES-CONSUMER PROTECTION ACT (SECTIONS 17.41 AND FOLLOWING OF THE TEXAS BUSINESS AND COMMERCE CODE) AND ANY OTHER SIMILAR CONSUMER PROTECTION LAW, WHETHER FEDERAL, STATE OR LOCAL (THE DTPA). PURCHASER COVENANTS NOT TO SUE SELLER UNDER THE DTPA OR ANY SUCH SIMILAR CONSUMER PROTECTION LAW.

c. Such representations and warranties shall survive the Closing for a period of six (6) months after the Closing.

4.03 Covenants and Agreements of Seller. Seller covenants and agrees with Purchaser that from the Effective Date until the Closing Date:

a. Seller shall operate, maintain and lease the Property in substantially the same manner as it has prior to the Effective Date. Seller shall give Purchaser copies of all written notices received by Seller asserting any breach or default under the Leases or the Assumed Contracts or any violation of any licenses, permits, governmental approvals or certificates of occupancy or any covenants, conditions, restrictions, laws, statutes, rules, regulations or ordinances applicable to the Property. Seller shall perform when due all of Seller’s obligations under all applicable laws.

e. Prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period, Purchaser shall deliver notice to Seller of which Service Contracts (other than “national contracts”) set forth on Exhibit

 

14


H Purchaser elects to cause Seller to terminate in accordance with the terms of this paragraph. Seller will provide a notice of termination for all such Service Contracts that Purchaser elects to cause Seller to terminate, provided that such Service Contracts can be terminated in accordance with their terms without the payment of a termination fee or penalty by Seller, unless Purchaser agrees to bear the entire cost of such fee or penalty (the Terminable Service Contracts). Purchaser shall assume at Closing (i) all Service Contracts identified as Must Assume on Schedule 4.03(e) attached hereto, (ii) all Service Contracts (other than “national contracts”) other than the Terminable Service Contracts, and (iii) all Service Contracts (other than “national contracts”) that Purchaser has not notified Seller on or prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period to terminate. In any event, Seller will terminate, at no cost to Purchaser, all management agreements.

ARTICLE V.

CASUALTY AND CONDEMNATION

5.01 Casualty. Seller shall deliver written notice to Purchaser of any damage to the Property by fire or other casualty which occurs prior to the Closing. If prior to the Closing, any fire or casualty damage to the Property occurs which would cost $1,000,000.00 or more to repair, Purchaser shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by written notice delivered to Seller within ten (10) days after Purchaser receives written notice of such damage and immediately 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 which would cost less than $1,000,000.00 to repair, then the Closing shall take place as provided in this Agreement without any offset against or deduction from the Purchase Price and Seller shall assign to Purchaser at the Closing all of Seller’s rights to receive insurance proceeds as a result of such damage and Seller shall pay to Purchaser the amount of the deductible, if any, payable under Seller’s policy of fire and casualty insurance. 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 material portion of the Property 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 Property is proposed or threatened, or if Seller or Purchaser receive notice that any such taking or condemnation is pending, 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 Property. For the purposes of this Section 5.02, “material portion of the Property” shall mean a taking of more than ten percent (10%) of the Land or that materially adversely affects the current use of the Property.

ARTICLE VI.

PROVISIONS WITH RESPECT TO DEFAULT

6.01 Default by Seller. In the event Seller fails to perform any of its material obligations hereunder (and fails to cure same within five (5) Business Days of receipt of written notice from Purchaser) or 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 immediately receive a refund of the Escrow Deposit from the Title Company together with reimbursement by Seller to Purchaser of all actual and verifiable third-party out-of-pocket expenses reasonably incurred by Purchaser in connection with this Agreement not to exceed the Reimbursement Cap, 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. Purchaser specifically waives all other rights and remedies, including, without limitation, the right to actual, punitive, speculative, consequential or other damages and, except for having the right to file as lis pendens as provided for as part of Purchaser’s remedy of specific performance, Purchaser specifically waives the right to file any lien, notice, petition, memorandum 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 in Section 6.01 above, Seller may, at its election and as its sole and exclusive remedy, 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 breach hereof, would be extremely difficult or impracticable to determine. Therefore, the parties acknowledge that the Escrow Deposit has been agreed upon, after negotiation, as the parties’ reasonable estimate of Seller’s damages. The foregoing shall in no way be deemed to limit any of Purchaser’s liability to Seller pursuant to any indemnification provisions contained in this Agreement, or with respect to any other obligations which survive the Closing or which are to be performed by the Purchaser after the Closing as provided in other Sections of this Agreement.

ARTICLE VII.

MISCELLANEOUS

7.01 Brokerage Fees and Commissions. Each party represents and warrants to the other that such party has not dealt with a real estate agent or broker in connection with the negotiation of this Agreement except CBRE (Broker”). If the Closing occurs, Seller shall pay Broker a commission in accordance with the terms of a separate agreement between Seller and Broker. If any other claims for brokerage commissions or fees are ever made against Seller or Purchaser in connection with this transaction, all such claims shall be handled and paid by the party whose commitments form the basis of such claims. Seller and Purchaser each agree to indemnify and hold harmless the other from and against any and all such claims or demands with respect to any brokerage fees or agents’ commissions or other compensation asserted by any person, firm, or corporation in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated herein insofar as any such claim or demand is based upon a contract or commitment of the

 

16


indemnifying party. This Section 7.01 shall survive the Closing and any termination of this Agreement.

7.02 Notices. All notices, demands and requests which may be given or which are required to be given by either party to the other, and any exercise of a right of termination provided by this Agreement, shall be in writing and shall be deemed effective either (a) on the date personally delivered to the address indicated herein, as evidenced by written receipt therefor, whether or not actually received by the person to whom addressed; (b) five (5) days following deposit in the United States mail if by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, addressed to the intended recipient at the address indicated herein; (c) one (1) Business Day following the day deposited into the custody of a nationally recognized overnight delivery service such as Fed Ex for overnight next day delivery, addressed to such party at the address specified herein; or (d) on the day sent if sent by email before 5:00 p.m. Dallas, Texas time (or the following day if sent after 5:00 p.m. Dallas, Texas time) to the intended recipient at the email address noted below.

7.03 Entire Agreement; Modification. This Agreement embodies and constitutes the entire understanding among the parties with respect to the transactions contemplated herein, and all prior or contemporaneous agreements, understandings, representations and statements, oral or written, are merged into this Agreement. Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, modified, amended, discharged or terminated except by an instrument in writing signed by the party against which the enforcement of such waiver, modification, amendment, discharge or termination is sought, and then only to the extent set forth in such instrument.

7.04 Headings. Descriptive headings are for convenience only and shall not control or affect the meaning or construction of any provision of this Agreement.

However, if the final date of any period which is set out in any provision of this Agreement or the Closing Date falls on a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday under the laws of the United States or the State of Texas, then the time of such period or the Closing Date, as the case may be, shall be extended to the next date which is not a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday, and for the purpose of this Agreement, the term Business Day shall mean any day which is not a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday under the laws of the United States or the State of Texas.

7.07 Multiple Counterparts; Facsimile Signatures. This Agreement may be executed in a number of identical counterparts, each of which for all purposes is deemed an original, and all of which constitute collectively one agreement, but in making proof of this Agreement, it shall not be necessary to produce or account for more than one such counterpart. Signatures to this Agreement may be transmitted via facsimile or scanned and e-mailed, and delivery thereby shall be deemed sufficient for all purposes to the same extent as would be delivery of an original signature.

7.08 Assignment by Purchaser. Purchaser shall not have the right to assign this Agreement without the prior written consent of Seller. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser shall be entitled to assign this Agreement to an entity controlled by or under common control with Purchaser without Seller’s prior consent (but with written notice delivered to Seller of such assignment at least ten (10) days prior to the Closing Date).

7.09 Prohibition on Recording Agreements. Except as provided for herein, Purchaser agrees that neither this Agreement, a copy of this Agreement, nor any instrument describing or referring to this Agreement shall ever be filed of record in the County in which the Property is located, and in the event Purchaser records this Agreement, a copy of this Agreement or any instrument describing or referring to this Agreement, Seller, at Seller’s option, may terminate this Agreement and receive immediate payment of the Escrow Deposit from the Title Company. Seller acknowledges that Purchaser is entitled to file a lis pendens as part of its remedy under Section 6.01(b) in the event of a default by Seller and therefore agrees that the filing of such lis

 

18


pendens, or Purchaser’s compliance with the statutory requirements associated therewith, do not violate this Section 7.09.

7.10 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State in which the Property is located, without reference to its choice of law principles.

7.11 Attorneys’ Fees.

7.12 Reporting Person. The Title Company is hereby designated as the “Reporting Person” pursuant to Section 6045 of the Internal Revenue Code and the Regulations promulgated thereunder.

7.13 Construction. The parties acknowledge and agree that the parties and their counsel have reviewed this Agreement and this Agreement will not be presumptively interpreted against either party.

7.14 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the invalid, illegal, or unenforceable provision will not affect any other provisions, and this Agreement will be construed as if the invalid, illegal, or unenforceable provision is severed and deleted from this Agreement.

7.15 Gender; Number. Unless the context requires otherwise, all pronouns used in this Agreement will be construed to include the other genders, whether used in the masculine, feminine or neuter gender.

7.16 Confidentiality. Purchaser shall keep confidential the existence and the terms of this Agreement, except as to their employees, consultants, attorneys, accountants, and other agents that may be involved in conducting the due diligence related to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Purchaser and its representatives shall hold in strictest confidence all data and information obtained with respect to the Property and/or Seller or its business, whether obtained before or after the execution and delivery of this Agreement, and shall not disclose the same to others; provided, however, that it is understood and agreed that (i) Purchaser may disclose such data and information to the employees, consultants, accountants, and attorneys of Purchaser provided that Purchaser advises such persons of the confidential nature of such information and in all events Purchaser shall be responsible for its employees, consultants, accountants and attorneys’ obligation to keep confidential the data and information provided to them pursuant to this Agreement, and (ii) Purchaser’s obligation to keep such information confidential shall terminate as of the earlier to occur of the Closing or the expiration of eighteen (18) months after the date Purchaser terminates this Agreement, except that such period shall equal three (3) years for any customer information and data. Purchaser, its employees, agents, consultants, accountants, and attorneys shall use Seller’s confidential information only for purposes of evaluating whether to consummate the transactions

 

19


contemplated by this Agreement, and for no other purposes. In the event of a breach or threatened breach by Purchaser or its agents or representatives of this Section 7.16, Seller shall be entitled to an injunction restraining Purchaser or its agents or representatives from disclosing, in whole or in part, such confidential information. Nothing herein shall be construed as prohibiting Seller from pursuing any other available remedy at law or in equity for such breach or threatened breach. The provisions of this Section 7.16 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

7.17 Filings/Press Releases. Prior to Closing, both Seller and Purchaser agree to keep the terms of this Agreement confidential, and not to disclose its contents to anyone except (a) their respective lenders, investors, partners, legal counsel, accountants, and other representatives that are involved with the consummation of this transaction; or (b) as may be required by applicable law, except that either party may make such public announcement regarding the transaction contemplated by this Agreement as may, in such party’s reasonable judgment, be required by applicable law, including, without limitation, disclosures required to be made to the Securities and Exchange Commission and any press releases issued in connection with such Securities and Exchange Commission. Notwithstanding the foregoing, after Closing, either Seller or Purchaser shall be permitted to make public announcements provided the same does not identify the other party, the Purchase Price or the street address of the Property.

7.18 Watch List. In the event that Purchaser, any assignee of Purchaser, Purchaser’s lender, or the source of any of Purchaser’s equity for the consummation of this Agreement appears on the Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons list maintained by the Office of Foreign Assets Control of the United States Department of the Treasury prior to Closing, Seller may, by written notice given to Purchaser at or before the Closing, terminate this Agreement. If Seller elects to terminate this Agreement, pursuant to this Section 7.18, the Escrow Deposit shall be promptly paid to Seller by the Title Company and neither party shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder, except for the obligations that expressly survive the termination of this Agreement, all of which shall survive the Closing or, if the purchase and sale contemplated hereunder is not consummated, any termination of this Agreement.

7.19 Effective Date. The Effective Date shall be June 12, 2017.

7.20 Exclusivity. Until the earlier to occur of termination of this Agreement or the Closing Date, Seller (and Seller’s agents, including Broker) shall cease to market the Property and shall refrain from solicitation of backup offers and any discussion, negotiation or any other communication concerning or related to the sale of the Property with any third party other than Purchaser.

7.21 Rule 3-14 Compliance. Seller shall on or up to forty-five (45) days after Closing provide to Purchaser (at Purchaser’s expense) copies of, or shall provide Purchaser reasonable access to, such factual information as may be reasonably requested by Purchaser, and in the possession or control of Seller, or the Manager or accountants, necessary to enable Purchaser’s auditor to conduct an audit, in accordance with Rule 3-14 of Securities and Exchange Commission Regulation S-X, of the income statements of the Property for the year to date of the year in which Closing occurs plus the one immediately preceding calendar year. Purchaser shall be responsible for all out-of-pocket costs associated with this audit and the reasonable costs of all

 

20


personnel required to participate in this audit. Seller shall up to forty-five days after the Closing reasonably cooperate (at no cost to Seller) with Purchaser’s auditor in the conduct of such audit, which will include responding to verbal requests for information regarding internal controls and follow-up questions on the financial information provided to the Purchaser. Seller shall maintain its records for use under this Section 7.21 for a period of not less than ninety days after the Closing Date. The provisions of this Section shall survive Closing for a period of ninety (90) days.

7.22. Florida Disclosure.

(a) Florida law requires the following disclosure to be given to the purchaser of property in Florida. Seller has made no independent inspection of the Property to determine the presence of conditions which may result in radon gas; however, Seller is not aware of any such condition. Certain building methods and materials have been proven to reduce the possibility of radon gas entering the building:

“RADON GAS: RADON IS A NATURALLY OCCURRING RADIOACTIVE GAS THAT, WHEN IT HAS ACCUMULATED IN A BUILDING IN SUFFICIENT QUANTITIES, MAY PRESENT HEALTH RISKS TO PERSONS WHO ARE EXPOSED OVER TIME. LEVELS OF RADON THAT EXCEED FEDERAL AND STATE GUIDELINES HAVE BEEN FOUND IN BUILDINGS IN FLORIDA.

(b) JURY TRIAL WAIVER. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE PARTIES HEREBY AGREE TO WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY WITH RESPECT TO ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING (I) BROUGHT BY EITHER PARTY OR ANY OTHER PARTY, RELATING TO (A) THIS AGREEMENT AND/OR ANY UNDERSTANDINGS OR PRIOR DEALINGS BETWEEN THE PARTIES HERETO, OR (B) THE PROPERTY OR ANY PART THEREOF, OR (II) TO WHICH SELLER IS A PARTY. THE PARTIES HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT THIS AGREEMENT CONSTITUTES A WRITTEN CONSENT TO WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY PURSUANT TO ANY APPLICABLE STATE STATUTES.
