(f)            Proration of Rents, Deposits, Assessments, and Taxes. Rents and all expenses of operation of the Property (including utilities, assessments, property taxes and other amounts due under the Service Contracts and leasing commissions) except for insurance premiums and property management fees will be prorated as of the Closing Date; provided, however, no prorations will be made for delinquent rents existing as of the Closing. Amounts allocable to the Closing Date will be for the account of Buyer if by 11:00 am (Central Time) on the Closing Date Buyer has taken all action required of it for Closing and Buyer’s funds in the amount required by this Contract are available in the closing escrow; otherwise amounts allocable to the Closing Date (and if the day after the Closing Date is not a business day, for all intervening days until the next business day) will be for the account of Seller. If ad valorem taxes for the year in which the sale is closed are not available on the Closing Date, proration of taxes will be made on the basis of taxes assessed in the previous year, with a subsequent cash adjustment of such proration to be made between Seller and Buyer, if necessary, when actual tax figures are available. If any such charges, expenses, income, or other required prorations (other than taxes and delinquent rents) are unavailable at the precise Closing Date, then a readjustment of these items shall be made within 30 days after the Closing. With respect to any delinquent rentals, Buyer will make a reasonable attempt (but shall not be obligated) to collect the same for Seller’s benefit after the Closing in the usual course of the operation of the Property and such collection, if any, will be remitted to Seller promptly upon receipt by Buyer. Nothing contained herein shall operate to require Buyer to institute any lawsuit or other collection procedure to collect such delinquent rentals. Seller agrees that it will not initiate any suit or proceeding to collect delinquent rents from a tenant so long as they remain a tenant of the Property. Any sums received by Buyer from any tenants owing delinquent rentals will first be applied to the then-current portion of such tenant’s rent, and then to costs incurred by Buyer in collecting the delinquent rents, and then (and only then) to delinquent rentals owed with respect to the period before Closing. With respect to locator fees, commissions and the like related to any Tenant Lease that is executed prior to Closing, Sells shall pay such amounts if the tenant takes occupancy of its unit prior to Closing and Buyer shall pay such amounts if the tenant takes occupancy of its unit after Closing. To the extent that any such amount is due under a Tenant Lease in connection with the extension of such Lease, Seller shall pay such amounts if the extension occurs prior to Closing and Buyer shall pay such amounts if the extension occurs after Closing. Buyer shall not be entitled to a credit at Closing for any portion of any bonus or other up-front payment made under or in connection with any Service Contract (including all laundry room, cable and telecommunications agreements, if any). At the Closing, Seller will pay to Buyer in cash or credit to Buyer the amount of any refundable deposits actually held by Seller under Tenant Leases. Nonrefundable deposits, bonuses, fees and upfront payments will not be prorated, nor

 

5



 

will Buyer be entitled to a credit on account of such amounts. The provisions of this Section 4(f) shall survive the Closing.

 

(g)           Insurance Premiums and Management Fees; Utility Deposits. Insurance premiums and management fees incurred by Seller will be paid for by Seller and Buyer shall not be liable therefor. Seller will not assign to Buyer, and Buyer will not be entitled to, any deposits held by any utility company or other company servicing the Property; but rather such deposits will be returned to Seller and Buyer will arrange and bear all responsibility to arrange with all utility companies to have accounts styled in Buyer’s name beginning on the Closing Date. The provisions of this Section 4(g) shall survive the Closing.

 

(h)           Pre-Closing Operations. Seller shall instruct its property manager to discontinue data entry operations in the on-site computer system for the Property (including making deposits of rental income) for a period of at least 72 hours before the Closing. Seller acknowledges that such discontinuance is intended to afford Seller and Buyer an opportunity to coordinate the transition of the Property in anticipation of Closing and to complete work on prorations as set forth in this Contract. Seller shall instruct its property manager to forward to Buyer or its designee final reports to facilitate transition planning and compilation of prorations as soon as practicable after discontinuing such data entry (with Seller endeavoring to cause its property manager to do the same within two hours of such discontinuance).

 

5.             FEASIBILITY STUDY, INSPECTION, AND SERVICE CONTRACTS.

 

(a)           Feasibility Study. Buyer is granted the right to conduct engineering and/or market and economic feasibility studies of the Property and a physical inspection of the Property, including studies or inspections to determine the existence of any environmental hazards or conditions (collectively, the “Feasibility Study”) during the period (the “Feasibility Period”) commencing on the Effective Date and ending at 5:00 p.m., Central Time, on the June 3, 2010.

Buyer will not alter the physical condition of the Property or conduct invasive testing without notifying Seller of its requested tests, and obtaining the written consent of Seller to any physical alteration of the Property or invasive testing. Buyer will utilize commercially reasonable diligence to conduct or cause to be conducted all inspections and tests in a manner and at times which will not unreasonably interfere with any tenant’s use and occupancy of the Property. If Buyer determines, in its sole judgment, that the Property is not suitable for any reason for Buyer’s intended use or purpose, or is not in satisfactory condition, then Buyer may terminate this Contract by written notice to Seller prior to expiration of the Feasibility Period, in which case the Earnest Money (other than the Option Money) will be returned to Buyer, and neither party shall have any further right or obligation hereunder other than as set forth herein with respect to rights or obligations

(a)           Default by Buyer. Unless otherwise provided for herein, if the transaction contemplated hereby is not consummated by reason of Buyer’s breach or other failure to timely perform all obligations and conditions to be performed by Buyer under this Contract or under the Tupelo Contract (defined below), then Seller may, as its sole and exclusive remedy (whether at law or in equity), terminate this Contract and receive the Earnest Money as liquidated damages; Buyer and Seller hereby agree that actual damages would be difficult or impossible to ascertain and such amount is a reasonable estimate of the damages for such breach or failure.

(b)           Default by Seller. If the transaction contemplated hereby is not consummated by reason of Seller’s breach or other failure to timely perform all obligations to be performed by Seller under this Contract, then Buyer may, as its sole and exclusive remedy (whether at law or in equity), either (i) terminate this Contract and receive the Earnest Money (including the Option Money), whereupon Seller shall reimburse Buyer for all Buyer’s reasonable third party out-of-pocket expenses (including attorney’s fees, engineering fees, consultant’s fees, environmental fees, and other costs incurred in connection with the potential acquisition of the Property, the inspection and review of the Property and the negotiation of this Contract) up to a maximum of $150,000 (provided Buyer provides reasonable evidence of such costs to Seller), and neither party shall have any further rights or obligations pursuant to this Contract, other than as set forth herein with respect to rights or obligations which survive termination, or (ii) enforce specific performance of Seller’s obligations hereunder; provided, however, if specific performance is not an available remedy because Seller has conveyed the Land or Improvements or any other material portion of the Property to a third party unaffiliated with Buyer, then Buyer may bring suit, in law or in equity, for damages. If Buyer chooses to enforce specific performance of Seller’s obligations, then Buyer must commence action to enforce specific performance within 60 days after the occurrence of Seller’s failure. The remedies provided in this Section 10(b) are exclusive, and Buyer waives all other remedies (including any right to obtain damages from Seller) for Seller’s failure in performance prior to Closing. Nothing in this Section 10(b) limits Buyer’s remedies for any breach by Seller of its obligations after Closing or for any breach of representations and warranties that is discovered by Buyer after Closing. In no case shall Seller ever be liable to Buyer under any statutory, common law, equitable or other theory of law, either prior to or following the Closing, for any lost rents, profits, “benefit of the bargain,” business opportunities or any form of consequential damage in connection with any claim, liability, demand or cause of action in any way or manner relating to the Property, the condition of the Property, this Contract, or any transaction or matter between the parties contemplated hereunder.

18



 

Date and the Closing that would allow Buyer to terminate this Contract or that Seller reasonably estimates would cost more than $25,000 to repair. Buyer or its designated agents may enter upon the Property from time to time during normal business hours and upon advance notice to Seller in accordance with this Contract for the purpose of inspecting any such casualty.

 

(a)                                  If, prior to the Closing, the Property is damaged by a fire or other casualty that would cost $500,000 or more to repair, then in such event, Buyer may, at its option, elect to terminate this Contract by written notice to Seller within 20 days after the date of Seller’s notice to Buyer of the casualty or at the Closing, whichever is earlier, in which case the Earnest Money (other than the Option Money) will be refunded to Buyer, and neither party will have any further rights or obligations hereunder, other than as set forth herein with respect to rights and obligations which survive termination. If neither Buyer nor Seller timely makes its election to terminate this Contract, then the Closing will take place as provided herein without reduction of the Purchase Price, and there will be assigned to Buyer at the Closing all interest of Seller in and to any casualty insurance proceeds received or to be received by reason of such damage or destruction (net of proceeds of rental loss and business interruption insurance allocable to the period through the Closing Date, amounts expended by Seller to stabilize or repair the Property and costs incurred by Seller in making proof of loss or settling claims with insurers) and Seller shall tender at Closing the deductible amounts under Seller’s insurance policies (including business interruption and rental loss insurance of Seller that would be applicable to the period after the Closing).

If the damage or destruction arises out of an uninsured risk, Seller shall elect, by written notice within 10 days of the occurrence of such damage or destruction, either to terminate this Contract or to close the transaction contemplated hereby with a reduction of the Purchase Price equal to the costs of repairing the Property, as reasonably estimated by an engineer engaged by Seller and reasonably acceptable to Buyer.

 

(c)                                  If and to the extent that Seller is required in this Section 15 to assign and transfer to Buyer Seller’s right, title, and interest in and to insurance proceeds, (i) Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause its insurance carriers pay any unpaid insurance proceeds to which Buyer is entitled (including business interruption and rental loss insurance of Seller that would be applicable to the period after the Closing) to Buyer and for Buyer’s benefit, and (ii) if Seller’s insurance carriers do not permit assignment of such insurance proceeds to Buyer, then upon receipt of all such unpaid insurance proceeds, Seller shall pay the same to Buyer.

After Closing, Buyer shall remove all signage and identifying marks from the Property referring to Seller’, Seller’s affiliates, Seller’s property manager or the Excluded IP. Buyer shall notify Seller of the removal and offer Seller the opportunity to take any such removed signage. Buyer may elect instead to provide access to the Property after Closing to Seller and Seller’s agents and employees so that Seller, its agents and employees may instead remove such signage and identifying marks, at times and for a duration that is commercially reasonable given the removal to be completed. The provisions of this Section 16(b) shall survive the Closing.

 

17.           ASSIGNMENT. Except as otherwise provided herein, Buyer may not assign this Contract without Seller’s prior written consent, such consent to be given or denied in Seller’s reasonable discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer may assign its rights under this Contract, in whole or in part, to (i) any affiliate or direct or indirect subsidiary of Buyer or (ii) any entity in which Buyer, or the principals thereof, have control as defined herein. Upon both the assignment of this Contract and the assignee’s delivery to the Title Company of the full amount of Closing funds required to be delivered by the Buyer (or its assignee) to the Title Company, the original Buyer will be released from all liabilities and obligations under this Contract, provided that such assignee has assumed all of the liabilities and obligations of the Buyer under this Contract. For purposes of this Contract, “affiliate” means, in respect of Buyer: (a) any entity that controls, is controlled by, or is under common control, with the entity in question, or (b) any entity that participates in any investment program sponsored by Behringer Harvard Holdings, LLC, or any of its direct or indirect parents or subsidiaries. For purposes of this Contract, the term “control” means the possession, directly or indirectly, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of an entity, whether through the ownership of voting securities or otherwise.

 

18.           EXCHANGE. Buyer may consummate the acquisition of the Property as part of a like kind exchange (the “Exchange”) pursuant to Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and, in connection therewith may assign its rights under this Contract to a qualified intermediary. Seller will reasonably cooperate with Buyer in the Exchange provided that Seller is not thereby required to take any additional risk and Buyer pays any additional costs that would not otherwise have been incurred by Seller or Buyer had Buyer not consummated its purchase through the Exchange. Completion of such substitution or any related exchange is not a condition to sale of the Property as contemplated by this Contract, and Buyer may not postpone

 

21



 

the Closing Date to allow for completion of such substitution or any related exchange. Buyer agrees to indemnify and defend Seller and hold Seller harmless from and against any loss, damage, liability, obligation, claim, suit, cause of action, judgment, settlement, penalty, fine, cost or expense (including fees and disbursements of attorneys and other professionals and court costs) arising out of or relating to Seller’s participation in an exchange that Buyer requests. Under no circumstances will Seller be obligated to take title to any property (other than the Property) in order to complete an Exchange.

 

19.           AUDIT BY BUYER. Seller acknowledges that Buyer may cause to be prepared audited financial statements with respect to the Property in compliance with the policies of Buyer and certain laws, including applicable regulations promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with Buyer’s auditors in the preparation of such audited financial statements (including making available for interview, with reasonable advance notice from Buyer, by Buyer and Buyer’s auditors the management personnel of Seller who are responsible for the day-to-day operation of the Property and the keeping of the books and records in respect of the operation of the Property), for two years after Closing. In addition, if Seller has audited financial statements, Seller shall promptly provide Buyer with a copy of such audited financial statements for the most-recent period for which they have been prepared. Seller acknowledges that any such audit may require review of records existing for up to three years prior to the date of Closing, and Seller shall make available to Buyer any records in Seller’s possession or control covering such period. If, after the Closing Date, Seller obtains an audited financial statement for a fiscal period prior to the Closing Date that was not completed as of the Closing Date, then Seller shall promptly provide Buyer with a copy of such audited financial statement. Seller acknowledges that providing its audited financial statements to Buyer does not necessarily obviate Buyer’s need to perform Buyer’s own audit. The provisions of this Section 19 shall survive the Closing.

 

20.           PUBLICITY. Seller and Buyer each agrees that (a) prior to the Closing, neither Seller nor Buyer shall issue any press release with respect to the transaction contemplated by this Contract without the prior consent of the other, except to the extent required by applicable law, and (b) after the Closing, either Seller or Buyer shall have the right to issue a Permitted Release. “Permitted Release” means a press release announcing the purchase and sale of the Property and the resulting ownership and control of the Property so long as the release does not, except to the extent required by applicable law, disclose or reference (x) the sale price or any other economic terms relating to the Property or the sale of the Property, (y) the identity of the Seller or its affiliates or any identifying information relating to Seller and its affiliates (unless specifically pre-approved in writing by Seller in Seller’s sole discretion), or (z) the name “Alexan” or any of the other Excluded IP (unless specifically pre-approved in writing by Seller in Seller’s sole discretion). Notwithstanding the foregoing, any press release other than a Permitted Release issued by either Seller or Buyer shall be subject to the review and approval of the other party hereto (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

 

21.           MISCELLANEOUS.

No provision of this Contract will be interpreted in favor of, or against, any party hereto by reason of the extent to which any such party hereto or its counsel participated in the drafting hereof or by reason of the extent to which any such provision is inconsistent with any prior draft hereof or thereof.

If Buyer elects to terminate this Contract during the Feasibility Period, or if this Contract otherwise terminates, then the requirement to deal exclusively with Buyer shall no longer apply.

 

(e)                                  This Contract will be construed under and in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas, and all obligations of the parties created hereunder are performable in Dallas County, Texas.

(m)                               Unless otherwise expressly herein stated to survive, all representations, covenants, indemnities, conditions and agreements contained in this Contract shall merge into and be superseded by the various documents executed and delivered at Closing and shall not survive the Closing. Seller shall have no liability to Buyer after Closing for any matter disclosed by Seller pursuant to the terms of this Contract or disclosed to Buyer prior to Closing.

 

(n)                                 Contemporaneously with the execution and delivery of this Contract, Buyer has delivered to Seller and Seller hereby acknowledges the receipt of a check in the amount of $100.00 (“Independent Contract Consideration”), which amount the parties bargained for and agreed to as consideration for Buyer’s exclusive right to inspect and purchase the Property pursuant to this Contract and for Seller’s execution, delivery and performance of this Contract.

The buildings and improvements do not overhang or encroach upon any easement or right of way of others, and there are no encroachments either way across the property lines. The property surveyed contains 10.681 acres and is not located within a flood plain or mudslide area as defined by the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development under the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973 as amended or as indicated by the Federal Emergency Management Agency, FEMA Maps or the National Flood Insurance Administration (see FLOOD STATEMENT).

There are no visible (a) improvements, (b) party walls (c) violations of set backs, (d) ditches, (e) water courses, (f) easements, (g) roads, streets or alleys, (h) rights of way, (i) encroachments, (j) discrepancies, or (k) overlapping or conflicts on the subject property except as shown on this survey map and the subject property does not visibly serve any adjoining property for drainage, ingress, egress or other similar purposes.

 

I hereby certify that this survey map and the survey on which it is based were made in accordance with the most current Minimum Detail Requirements for ALTA/ACSM Land Title Surveys, jointly established and adopted by ALTA and ACSM, and meets the accuracy requirements for a Class A Survey, as defined therein, and includes items 1 through 15 of Table A of the Minimum Standard Detail Requirements for ALTA/ACSM Land Title Surveys except for item 5 (“Contours”) and item 12 (“Governmental Agency Requirements”) which have been excluded. I further certify that this survey map was prepared by the undersigned and that the survey was performed on the ground by the undersigned or by qualified persons under the direct supervision and employment of the undersigned.
