unacceptable to Purchaser, or (ii) any exceptions appear in the Title
Commitment other than the standard printed exceptions set forth in the
standard form of Commitment for Title Insurance in use in the State,
that are unacceptable to Purchaser, Purchaser shall within ten (10)
days after receipt of the Survey and the Title Commitment, notify
Seller in writing of such facts and the reasons therefor ("Purchaser's
Objections"). Upon the expiration of said ten (10) day period, except
for Purchaser's Objections if same are timely raised, Purchaser shall

action or proceeding or otherwise to incur any effort or expense
whatsoever to eliminate or modify any of the Purchaser's Objections.

Purchaser's Objections ("Seller's Cure Period"), deliver to Purchaser
written notice ("Seller's Cure Notice") setting forth which of
Purchaser's Objections Seller will endeavor to cure prior to the
Closing Date and which of Purchaser's Objections Seller cannot or does
not intend to cure. If Seller has not given Seller's Cure Notice by the

notice that it does not intend to cure any of Purchaser's Objections.
If by the earlier of (i) the end of the Approval Period or (ii) the end
of Seller's Cure Period, Seller has not cured or undertaken to cure all
of Purchaser's Objections to the reasonable satisfaction of Purchaser,
Purchaser may (as its sole and exclusive
<PAGE> 6
remedy) terminate this Agreement by delivering written notice thereof
to Seller not later than at or before the expiration of the Approval
Period. If one (1) business day prior to the Closing Date, Seller has
not cured to the reasonable satisfaction of Purchaser all of
Purchaser's Objections which Seller has in Seller's Cure Notice
undertaken to cure, Purchaser may (as its sole and exclusive remedy)
terminate this Agreement by written notice to Seller on the Closing

Purchaser's termination rights provided in Section 5.1.2(a), (A) any
Purchaser's Objection which in Seller's Cure Notice Seller has
undertaken to cure that remains uncured, for whatever reason, at the

end of the Seller's Cure Period, Seller has failed to cure or has
given, or is deemed to have given, notice that it cannot or does not
intend to cure; and (iii) the rights and interests of parties claiming
under the Leases.
5.1.3 Limitations of Seller's Obligations. Notwithstanding
anything contained herein to the contrary, Seller shall have no obligation to
take any steps, bring any action or proceeding or incur any effort or expense
whatsoever to eliminate, modify or cure any objection Purchaser may have
pursuant to Section 5.1.1, Section 5.1.2 or Section 5.2.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser must obtain Seller's written
approval of the scope and method of any environmental testing or
investigation (other than a Phase I environmental inspection) and any

claim, damage, cost or expense incurred by any of them arising out of
or resulting from inspections, investigations or tests of the Property

CLOSING
7.1 Closing. The Closing shall be held at the offices of the Title
Company on the Closing Date, unless the parties mutually agree in writing upon
another place, time or date.
7.2 Possession. Possession of the Property shall be delivered to
Purchaser at the Closing, subject to the Permitted Encumbrances.
7.3 Proration.
(a) Seller and Purchaser agree to adjust, as of 11:59 p.m. on
the day immediately preceding the Closing Date, the following
(collectively, the "Proration Items"): real estate and personal
property taxes and assessments (subject to the terms of Section 7.3(d)
below), utility bills (except as hereinafter provided), collected Rents
(subject to the terms of Section 7.3(b) below) and Operating Expenses
(subject to the terms of Section 7.3(c) below) payable by the owner of
the Property. Seller will be charged and credited for the amount of all
of the Proration Items relating to the period up to and including the
Closing Date, and Purchaser will be charged and credited for all of the
Proration Items relating to the period after the Closing Date. Such
preliminary estimated Closing prorations shall be set forth on a
preliminary closing statement to be prepared by Seller and submitted to
Purchaser for Purchaser's written approval prior to the Closing Date
(the "Closing Statement"). The Closing Statement, once agreed upon,
shall be signed by Purchaser and Seller and delivered to Title Company
for purposes of making the proration adjustment at Closing. The
proration shall be paid at Closing by Purchaser to Seller (if the
prorations result in a net credit to Seller) or by Seller to Purchaser
(if the prorations result in a net credit to Purchaser) by increasing
or reducing the cash to be delivered by Purchaser in payment of the
Purchase Price at the Closing. If the actual amounts of the Proration
Items are not known as of the Closing Date, the prorations will be made
at Closing on the basis of the best evidence then available; such
prorations shall be conclusive and binding on the parties without
further adjustment. No prorations will be made in relation to insurance
premiums, and Seller's insurance policies will not be assigned to
Purchaser. Final readings and final billings for utilities will be made
if possible as of the Closing Date, in which event no proration will be
made at Closing with respect to utility bills. Seller will be entitled
to all deposits presently in effect with the utility providers, and
Purchaser will be obligated to make its own arrangements for deposits
with the utility providers. "Rents" shall mean and include fixed
monthly rentals, additional rentals, percentage rentals, escalation
rentals (which include each Tenant's proportionate share of building
operation and maintenance costs and expenses as provided for under the
applicable Lease, to the extent the same exceeds any expense stop
specified in such Lease), retroactive rentals, all administrative
charges, utility charges, tenant or real property association dues,
storage rentals, special event proceeds, temporary rents, telephone
receipts, locker rentals, vending machine receipts and other sums and
charges payable by Tenants under the Leases or from other occupants or
users of the Property, but excluding amounts received for Operating
Expenses. "Operating Expenses" shall mean operating expenses and common
area maintenance charges, including utilities, insurance and other
charges, under the Leases whether deemed additional rent or otherwise,
but excluding Rents.
(b) Purchaser will receive a credit on the Closing Statement
for the prorated amount (as of 11:59 p.m. of the day immediately
preceding the Closing Date) of all Rents previously paid to or
collected by Seller and attributable to any period following Closing.
Rents are "Delinquent" when they were due prior to the Closing Date,
and payment thereof has not been made on or before the Closing Date.
Delinquent Rents will not be prorated. All sums collected by Purchaser
<PAGE> 13
from and after Closing from each Tenant will be applied first to
current amounts owed by such Tenant to Purchaser and then to Delinquent
Rents owed by such Tenant to Seller. Any sums due Seller will be
promptly remitted to Seller. Purchaser shall not have an exclusive
right to collect any sums due Seller from Tenants under the Leases, and
Seller hereby retains the right to pursue any Tenant under the Leases
for any sums due such Seller for periods attributable to Seller's
ownership of the Property. The provisions of this Section 7.3(b) will
survive the Closing for one year.
(c) All Additional Rents (as defined below) which have been
received in respect to the month in which the Closing Date occurs (the
"Current Month") shall be prorated as of the Closing Date. Such
Additional Rents for the Current Month which have been received as of
the Closing Date shall be prorated on a per diem basis based upon the
number of days in the Current Month prior to, but not including, the
Closing Date (which shall be allocated to Seller) and the number of
days in the Current Month from and after the Closing Date (which shall
be allocated to Purchaser). In addition, Seller shall be credited on
the Closing Date with its share of Rents and other Tenant charges and
Additional Rents for the Current Month and for all periods prior to the
Current Month which have not been received as of the Closing Date.
Purchaser shall be solely responsible, after the Closing Date, for
collecting unpaid Additional Rents. Additional Rents for calendar year
2000 are paid on an estimated basis in monthly installments. At least
five (5) business days prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall cause to
be prepared and delivered to Purchaser a reconciliation ("Additional
Rents Reconciliation") of (1) actual operating and similar expense of
the Property upon which Additional Rents are based ("Additional Rent
Expenses") for the period commencing on January 1, 2000 and ending on
the last day of the Current Month ("Additional Rents Reconciliation
Period"), it being understood that certain Additional Rents Expenses
for the Additional Rents Reconciliation Period, if not based on actual
amounts (such as certain operating expenses for the Current Month), may
be reasonably estimated by Seller; and (2) Additional Rents collected
by Seller for that portion of the Additional Rents Reconciliation
Period prior to the Current Month and Additional Rents payable for the
Current Month. Any amount shown to be owed by Seller to the Tenants
under the Additional Rents Reconciliation shall be credited to
Purchaser at the Closing, and any amounts shown to be owed to Seller by
Tenants of the Property under the Additional Rents Reconciliation shall
be credited to Seller at the Closing. For purposes of this Section
7.3(c), "Additional Rents" shall mean any and all amounts due from
Tenants for Operating Expenses and any other Tenant charges other than
Rents.
(d) All ad valorem real estate and personal property taxes
with respect to the Property (to the extent not prorated in Section
7.3(a) above) shall be prorated as of 11:59 p.m. of the day immediately
preceding the Closing Date on a cash basis for the calendar year in
which the Closing occurs, regardless of the year for which such taxes
are assessed.
(e) Purchaser shall receive a credit against Purchase Price at
Closing for all security deposits for which landlord has liability to
Tenants under the Leases on the Closing Date and for all Rents made in
advance (to the extent not prorated as set forth in Section 7.3(b)
above).
(f) Purchaser shall receive a credit against the Purchase
Price at Closing for all payments due or owing under any Contract for
periods prior to the Closing Date, which amounts shall be prorated as
of 11:59 p.m. of the day immediately preceding the Closing Date. If
Seller has paid any amounts under any Contract for periods after 11:59
p.m. of the day immediately preceding the
<PAGE> 14
Closing Date, Purchaser shall pay such amounts to Seller at Closing in
addition to the Purchase Price. If any Contract requires more than ten
(10) days prior notice to terminate, then Purchaser must either (1)
assume such Contracts pursuant to the Bill of Sale, or (2) pay to
Seller at Closing, in addition to the Purchase Price, any amounts that
will be due or owing under any such Contract for periods from and after
the Closing Date until such Contract is terminable.
(g) Seller shall receive a credit for any and all Reimbursable
Lease Expenses (hereinafter defined) as set forth in Section 7.9 of
this Agreement and for any and all Reimbursable Capital Expenses, to
the extent that the same have been paid by Seller prior to Closing.
Each party shall make available to the other all records, bills,
vouchers and other data in such party's control verifying Reimbursable
Capital Expenses and the payment thereof. "Reimbursable Capital
Expenses" shall mean costs or expenses for any capital expenditures or
improvements made by Seller after the Effective Date hereof but before
Closing or as otherwise listed on Exhibit J. "Reimbursable Lease
Expenses" shall mean, collectively, those fees, costs and expenses
listed on Exhibit K. Reimbursable Lease Expenses shall include, without
limitation, (i) brokerage commissions and fees to effect any such
leasing transaction (including, without limitation, any fees owed to
any property manager), (ii) expenses incurred for repairs,
improvements, equipment, painting, decorating, partitioning and other
items to satisfy the Tenant's requirements with regard to such leasing
transaction, (iii) legal fees for services in connection with the
preparation of documents and other services rendered in connection with
the effectuation of the leasing transaction, and (iv) expenses incurred
for the purpose of satisfying or terminating the obligations of a
tenant under a New Lease to the landlord under another lease (whether
or not such other lease covers space in the Property). "New Lease"
shall mean any Lease entered into in accordance with this Agreement
between the Effective Date and the Closing Date.
7.4 Closing Costs. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein,
Seller shall pay, on the Closing Date, the cost of the Survey, one-half (1/2) of
any escrow fees and other customary charges of the Title Company, and Purchaser
shall pay, on the Closing Date, the premium for the Owner's Policy of Title
Insurance, all recording costs, documentary tax stamps, transfer taxes and any
other similar taxes, one-half (1/2) of any escrow fees and other customary
charges of the Title Company. Except as otherwise provided herein, each party
shall pay its own attorneys' fees.
7.5 Seller's Obligations at the Closing. At the Closing, Seller shall
deliver to Purchaser the following:
(a) Evidence of Authority. Such organizational and authorizing
documents of Seller as shall be reasonably required by the Title
Company to evidence Seller's authority to consummate the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement.
(b) Foreign Person. An affidavit of Seller in the form of
Exhibit E certifying that Seller is not a "foreign person," as defined
in the federal Foreign Investment in Real Property Tax Act of 1980, and
the 1984 Tax Reform Act, as amended.
(c) Leases. The originals of all of the Leases.
(d) Contracts. The originals of all of the Contracts, if any,
in Seller's possession.
<PAGE> 15
(e) Tenant Estoppel Certificates substantially in the form of
Exhibit D (or if a Tenant's Lease specifies or contemplates another
form of tenant estoppel certificate, then such other specified or
contemplated form) executed by Tenants representing at least seventy
percent (70%) of the rentable square feet of space in the Improvements
(collectively, the "Tenant Estoppel Certificates").
7.6 Purchaser's Obligations at the Closing. At the Closing, Purchaser
shall deliver to Seller the following:
(a) Purchase Price. The Purchase Price by wire transfer of
immediately available funds.
(b) Evidence of Authority. Such organizational and authorizing
documents of Purchaser as shall be reasonably required by Seller and/or
the Title Company authorizing Purchaser's acquisition of the Property
pursuant to this Agreement and the execution of this Agreement and any
documents to be executed by Purchaser at the Closing.
7.7 Documents to be Executed by Seller and Purchaser. At the Closing,
Seller and Purchaser shall also execute and deliver the following:
(a) Deed. Special Warranty Deed (the "Deed") conveying the
Land and the Improvements to Purchaser subject to no exceptions other
than the Permitted Encumbrances, in the form attached to this Agreement
as Exhibit B.
(b) Tenant Notices. Signed statements or notices to all
tenants of the Property notifying such tenants that the Property has
been transferred to Purchaser and that Purchaser is responsible for
security deposits (specifying the amounts of such deposits).
(c) Bill of Sale, Assignment and Assumption of Personal
Property, Contracts, Warranties and Leases. The Bill of Sale (herein so
called) in the form attached to this Agreement as Exhibit C.
7.8 Purchaser's Assumption of Obligations. As additional consideration
for the purchase and sale of the Property, Purchaser covenants and agrees that
from and after Closing it will: (i) assume and perform all of the covenants and
obligations of Seller, Seller's predecessors in title and Seller's affiliates
(A) pursuant to the Leases and Contracts, including without limitation, those
relating to any security deposits, to the extent arising on or after the Closing
Date and (B) pursuant to the Leases regarding the physical, environmental or
legal compliance status of the Property, whether arising before, on or after the
Closing Date; (ii) assume and agree to discharge, perform and comply with each
and every liability, duty, covenant, debt or obligation of Seller of any of its
affiliates resulting from, arising out of, or in any way related to any licenses
and permits and arising on or after the Closing Date; and (iii) assume Seller's
obligations to pay, when due (whether on a stated due date or accelerated) any
Reimbursable Lease Expenses in accordance with Section 7.9 or any Reimbursable
Capital Expenses that are unpaid as of the Closing Date. Purchaser hereby
indemnifies and holds Seller harmless from and against any and all claims,
liens, damages, demands, causes of action, liabilities, lawsuits, judgments,
losses, costs and expenses (including but not limited to attorneys' fees and
expenses) asserted against or incurred by Seller and arising out of the failure
of Purchaser to perform its obligations pursuant to this Section 7.8. The
provisions of this Section 7.8 shall survive the Closing without limitation.
<PAGE> 16
7.9 Lease Expenses. At Closing, Purchaser shall reimburse Seller for
any and all Reimbursable Lease Expenses to the extent that the same have been
paid by Seller prior to Closing. In addition, at Closing, Purchaser shall assume
Seller's obligations to pay, when due (whether on a stated due date or by
acceleration) any Reimbursable Lease Expenses unpaid as of the Closing, and
Purchaser hereby agrees to indemnify and hold Seller harmless from and against
any and all claims for such Reimbursable Lease Expenses which remain unpaid for
any reason at the time of Closing, which obligations of Purchaser shall survive
the Closing and shall not be merged therein. Each party shall make available to
the other all records, bills, vouchers and other data in such party's control
verifying Reimbursable Lease Expenses and the payment thereof.
8.
RISK OF LOSS
8.1 Condemnation. If, prior to the Closing, action is initiated to take
any of the Property by eminent domain proceedings or by deed in lieu thereof,
Purchaser may either at or prior to Closing (a) terminate this Agreement, or (b)
consummate the Closing, in which latter event all of Seller's assignable right,
title and interest in and to the award of the condemning authority shall be
assigned to Purchaser at the Closing and there shall be no reduction in the
Purchase Price.
8.2 Casualty. Except as provided in Sections 5.2 and 6.1 of this
Agreement, Seller assumes all risks and liability for damage to or injury
occurring to the Property by fire, storm, accident, or any other casualty or
cause until the Closing has been consummated. If the Property, or any part
thereof, suffers any damage in excess of the Casualty Amount prior to the
Closing from fire or other casualty, which Seller, at its sole option, does not
elect to repair, Purchaser may either at or prior to Closing (a) terminate this
Agreement, or (b) consummate the Closing, in which latter event all of Seller's
right, title and interest in and to the proceeds of any insurance covering such
damage (less an amount equal to any expenses and costs incurred by Seller to
repair or restore the Property and any portion of such proceeds paid or to be
paid on account of the loss of rents or other income from the Property for the
period prior to and including the Closing Date, all of which shall be payable to
Seller), to the extent the amount of such insurance does not exceed the Purchase
Price, shall be assigned to Purchaser at the Closing. If the Property, or any
part thereof, suffers any damage less than the Casualty Amount prior to the
Closing, Purchaser agrees that it will consummate the Closing and accept the
assignment of the proceeds of any insurance covering such damage plus an amount
equal to Seller's deductible under its insurance policy and there shall be no
reduction in the Purchase Price.
9.
DEFAULT
9.1 Breach by Seller. Except as Purchaser's remedies may otherwise be
expressly limited by the terms of this Agreement (including, without limitation,
the terms of Section 5.4):
(a) In the event that Seller shall default in any of its
obligations hereunder to be performed prior to Closing, for any reason
other than Purchaser's default or a termination of this Agreement by
Purchaser or Seller pursuant to a right to do so under the provisions
hereof, Purchaser, as its sole and exclusive remedy, may terminate this
Agreement, receive a refund of the Earnest Money and, subject to the
provisions of Section 9.1(c) below, pursue Seller for actual damages
incurred by Purchaser as a result of such default.
<PAGE> 17
(b) If Purchaser discovers prior to Closing that any
representation or warranty made by Seller in Section 5.4(a) has been
breached, then Purchaser may extend the Closing for up to thirty (30)
days to investigate the pertinent facts, and Seller shall exercise
reasonable, good faith efforts to remedy or cure such breach. In the
event that such breach has not been cured or remedied to Purchaser's
satisfaction prior to Closing, as the same may be extended, the sole
and exclusive remedy of Purchaser shall be to either waive the breach
and proceed to Closing or terminate this Agreement by written notice to
Seller. Upon a termination of this Agreement under this Section 9.1(b),
the Earnest Money shall be returned to Purchaser, and neither party
shall have any further obligations hereunder except for Surviving
Obligations.
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the
aggregate amount of actual damages which Purchaser may be entitled to
recover against Seller pursuant to Sections 9.1(a) above exceed
$50,000.00 and in no event shall Seller be liable to Purchaser for any
punitive, speculative or consequential damages or to the remedy of
specific performance.
(d) If Seller is unable to deliver all requisite Tenant
Estoppel Certificates, then Purchaser's sole and exclusive remedy and
recourse shall be either to waive the requirement for the missing
Tenant Estoppel Certificates and proceed to Closing without reduction
in the Purchase Price or to terminate this Agreement by immediate
written notification to Seller, in which event the Earnest Money shall
be returned to Purchaser, and neither party shall have any further
obligations hereunder except for Surviving Obligations.
9.2 Breach by Purchaser. If Purchaser fails to comply with Section 7 of
this Agreement, Seller may terminate this Agreement and thereupon shall be
entitled to the Earnest Money as liquidated damages (and not as a penalty) and
as Seller's sole remedy and relief hereunder (except for the Surviving
Obligations). Seller and Purchaser have made this provision for liquidated
damages because it would be difficult to calculate, on the date hereof, the
amount of actual damages for such breach, and Seller and Purchaser agree that
these sums represent reasonable compensation to Seller for such breach, and
neither party shall have any further obligation hereunder except for Surviving
Obligations. The provisions of this Section 9.2 shall not limit or affect any of
Purchaser's indemnities as provided in other Sections of this Agreement.
10.

10.1 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

10.2 Real Estate Commissions. Seller shall pay to the Agent upon the
Closing of the transaction contemplated hereby, and not otherwise, a cash
commission in the amount agreed on in a separate listing agreement between
Seller and Agent. Said commission shall in no event be payable unless and until
the transaction contemplated hereby is closed in accordance with the terms of
this Agreement; if such transaction is not closed for any reason, including,
without limitation, failure of title or default by Seller or Purchaser or
termination of this Agreement pursuant to the terms hereof, then such commission
will be deemed not to have been earned and shall not be due or payable. Except
as set forth above with respect to Agent, neither Seller nor Purchaser has
authorized any broker or finder to act on Purchaser's behalf in connection with
the sale and purchase hereunder and neither Seller nor Purchaser has dealt with
any broker or finder purporting to act on behalf of any other party. Purchaser
agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Seller from and against any and all
claims, losses, damages, costs or expenses of any kind or character arising out
of or resulting from any agreement, arrangement or understanding alleged to have
been made by Purchaser or on Purchaser's behalf with any broker or finder in
connection with this Agreement or the transaction contemplated hereby. Seller
agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Purchaser from and against any and all
claims, losses, damages, costs or expenses of any kind or character arising out
of or resulting from any agreement, arrangement or understanding alleged to have
been made by Seller or on Seller's behalf with any broker or finder in
connection with this Agreement or the transaction contemplated hereby.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, this Section 10.2
shall survive the Closing or any earlier termination of this Agreement.
10.3 Entire Agreement. This Agreement embodies the entire agreement
between the parties relative to the subject matter hereof, and there are no oral
or written agreements between the parties, nor any representations made by
either party relative to the subject matter hereof, which are not expressly set
forth herein.
10.4 Amendment. This Agreement may be amended only by a written
instrument executed by the party or parties to be bound thereby.
10.5 Headings. The captions and headings used in this Agreement are for
convenience only and do not in any way limit, amplify, or otherwise modify the
provisions of this Agreement.
10.6 Time of Essence. Time is of the essence of this Agreement;
however, if the final date of any period which is set out in any provision of
this Agreement falls on a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday under the laws of
the United States, the State of Texas or the State, then, in such event, the
time of such period shall be extended to the next day which is not a Saturday,

permitted assigns. Except as hereinafter provided, Purchaser shall not assign
Purchaser's rights under this Agreement without the prior written consent of
Seller, which consent
<PAGE> 19
may be withheld absolutely. Without Seller's consent, Purchaser may assign this
Agreement to a corporation, partnership or limited liability company organized
by Purchaser and in which Purchaser, or another entity controlled by him, will
own a voting equity interest. Any subsequent assignment may be made only with
the prior written consent of Seller. No assignment of Purchaser's rights
hereunder shall relieve Purchaser of its liabilities under this Agreement. This
Agreement is solely for the benefit of Seller and Purchaser; there are no third
party beneficiaries hereof. Any assignment of this Agreement in violation of the
foregoing provisions shall be null and void.
10.9 Invalid Provision. If any provision of this Agreement is held to
be illegal, invalid or unenforceable under present or future laws, such
provision shall be fully severable; this Agreement shall be construed and
enforced as if such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision had never
comprised a part of this Agreement; and, the remaining provisions of this
Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall not be affected by
such illegal, invalid, or unenforceable provision or by its severance from this
Agreement.
10.10 Attorneys' Fees. In the event it becomes necessary for either
party hereto to file suit to enforce this Agreement or any provision contained
herein, the party prevailing in such suit shall be entitled to recover, in
addition to all other remedies or damages, as provided herein, reasonable
