obtain a Commitment for Title insurance or a Commitment to insure (the

to in the Commitment or the Survey, subject to the terms and conditions hereof,

exceptions becoming Permitted Exceptions) and Purchaser shall, by acceptance of
such title, waive any objections to such Permitted Exceptions.
4.1.2 Within three (3) days after the date of this Agreement, Seller, at
Seller's sole cost and expense, shall cause to be prepared and furnished to
Purchaser a currently dated " as-built" survey (the "Survey") of the Property,
which Survey shall be reasonably acceptable to Purchaser and the Title Company

sole expense any and all inspections or studies of the Property which Purchaser
may desire, including but not limited to a physical, environmental (provided any
intrusive testing or coring shall require the prior written approval of Seller
acting reasonably) and mechanical inspection of the Property, a feasibility
study of the Property (including the right to enter vacant premises and with the
provision of adequate notice and the tenants' consent the right to enter leased
areas), an inspection of all books and records and financial information

present at all such inspections and interviews. Seller shall otherwise cooperate
and cause its agents and employees to cooperate with Purchaser's inspections and
reviews. If Purchaser shall find such inspections or studies to be
unsatisfactory, for any reason, or if Purchaser otherwise determines that the
Property is not suitable for its intended use thereof, for any reason
whatsoever, in Purchaser's sole discretion, Purchaser shall have the right, at
its option, to terminate this Agreement within the Review Period and, upon such
termination, all Xxxxxxx Money previously deposited shall be immediately
refunded to Purchaser and the parties hereto shall have no further liabilities
one to the other. This
8
Agreement shall automatically terminate without notice at 5:00 p.m. Dallas,
Texas time on the last day of the Review Period, unless on or before such time

preceding sentence, Seller hereby directs and authorizes the Title Company, and

may hereafter give, immediately to return any and all Xxxxxxx Money and all
interest accrued thereon to Purchaser without further inquiry of any sort
whatsoever in regard to the Seller. Purchaser shall promptly thereafter deliver

expense, including reasonable attorneys' fees and court costs, suffered or
incurred by Seller as a result of any activities conducted by Purchaser, its

other termination of this Agreement.

VI.
SURVIVAL
6.1 All warranties, representations, covenants, obligations and agreements
contained in this Agreement shall survive the execution and delivery of the Deed
and shall survive the Closing hereof for a period of six (6) months after the
Closing Date.
VII.
PRORATIONS AND ADJUSTMENTS
7.1 Operating expenses, ad valorem taxes on the Property for the current year,
and utility charges shall be prorated at the Closing, effective as of the
Closing Date, utilizing the best available computations of such items. If any of
the items subject to proration under the foregoing provisions of this Section
7.1 cannot be prorated at the Closing because of the unavailability of the
information necessary to compute such proration, or if any errors or omissions
in computing prorations at the Closing are discovered subsequent to the Closing,
then such item shall be reapportioned and such errors and omissions corrected as
soon as practicable after the Closing and the proper party promptly reimbursed
in cash which obligation shall survive the Closing for a period (the "Proration
Period") from the Closing until one (1) year after the Closing. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, neither party hereto shall have the
right to require a recomputation of a Closing proration or a correction of an
error or omission in a Closing proration unless within the Proration Period one
of the parties hereto (i) has obtained the previously unavailable information or
has discovered the error or omission, and (ii) has given written notice thereof
to the other party together with a copy of its good faith recomputation of the
proration and copies of all substantiating information used in such
recomputation. The failure of a party to obtain any previously unavailable
information or discover an error or omission with respect to an item subject to
proration hereunder and to give written notice thereof as provided above within
the Proration Period shall be deemed a waiver of its right to cause a
recomputation or a correction of an error or omission with respect to such item
after the Closing. Income and expenses for the Closing Date shall be allocated
to Seller. Delinquent rents collected by Purchaser shall be first applied to any
amounts due Purchaser by any such tenant and next to any amounts due to Seller.
If current ad valorem tax assessments are unavailable at Closing, said ad
valorem taxes shall be adjusted based on tax assessments for the immediately
preceding tax year, with said tax proration to be adjusted in cash between the
parties, based on actual taxes for the current year, at the time such actual
taxes are determined; provided, however, all special tax assessments made by any
taxing authority with respect to the Project which are due and payable on or
before the Closing shall be the sole responsibility of Seller and shall be paid
by Seller at Closing. Purchaser shall receive a credit against the Purchase
Price for tenant security deposits that are not yet forfeited or due to be
refunded to tenants of the Property prior to Closing. The provisions of this
paragraph shall survive Closing.

limited to the Broker (the "Commissions"), and Seller does hereby agree to
indemnify Purchaser against and hold Purchaser harmless from any and all such
Commissions including attorneys' fees incurred in any lawsuit regarding such
Commissions. In connection therewith, Purchaser does hereby represent and
warrant that except for a separate agreement with Wyndmere, it, its officers,
employees and agents, have contracted for no such real estate commissions and/or
similar type fees, nor has it contacted real estate agents or brokers, other

such real estate commissions or similar fees. Purchaser shall be solely
responsible for the payment of any and all real estate commissions, claims for
such commissions and/or similar type fees arising directly or indirectly out of
this transaction to Wyndmere (the "Wyndmere Commission") and Purchaser does
hereby agree to indemnify Seller against and hold Seller harmless from any and
all of the Wyndmere Commission including any attorneys' fees incurred in any
lawsuit regarding the Wyndmere Commission.
8.2 By its execution hereof Purchaser acknowledges that it has been informed by
real estate brokers involved with this transaction that the Purchaser should
have the abstract covering the Property examined by an attorney of the
Purchaser's selection or that the Purchaser should be furnished with or obtain
an owner's policy of title insurance covering the Property.

9.1 In the event that any of the Seller's representations or warranties
contained herein are untrue or if Seller shall have failed to have performed any
of the covenants and/or agreements contained herein which are to be performed by
Seller, or if any of the conditions precedent to Purchaser's obligation to

authorizing such termination, and Purchaser fails to close the transaction
contemplated hereby, Seller shall be entitled to receive the Xxxxxxx Money and
all interest accrued thereon as liquidated damages for Purchaser's default
(Seller and Purchaser hereby acknowledging that the amount of damages in the
event of Purchaser's default is difficult or impossible to ascertain but that
