Subject to adjustments and prorations provided for under this Contract, the Purchase Price will be payable by wire transfer, in immediately available funds, at the “Closing” (hereinafter defined).

Notwithstanding anything in this Contract to the contrary, One Hundred Dollars ($100) of the Xxxxxxx Money is delivered to the Title Company for delivery by the Title Company to Seller as “Independent Contract Consideration” (herein so called), and the Initial Deposit is reduced by the amount of the Independent Contract Consideration, which amount has been bargained for and agreed to as consideration for Seller’s execution and delivery of this Contract. The Title Company shall, immediately upon receipt, deliver the Independent Contract Consideration to Seller. The Independent Contract Consideration is in addition to and independent of all other consideration provided for in this Contract and is non-refundable in all events.

4.2 Second Deposit. If Purchaser does not exercise its right to terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 6.6 on or before the Termination Date, then Purchaser shall, no later than 5:00 p.m. CT on the Termination Date, deposit by wire transfer of immediately available funds an additional sum of Two Million One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($2,100,000) (the “Second Deposit”) with Title Company, and the Initial Deposit and the Second Deposit, together with all interest earned thereon (so much thereof as have been deposited into escrow at the applicable time, collectively, the “Xxxxxxx Money”) shall become non-refundable to Purchaser, except to the extent otherwise provided in this Contract.

4.3 Further Application of Xxxxxxx Money. The Title Company shall, immediately upon receipt, deposit the Xxxxxxx Money (less the Independent Contract Consideration) in an interest-bearing account at Xxxxx Fargo Bank, the earnings from which shall become part of the Xxxxxxx Money. However, the Title Company shall have no obligation to invest the deposit until a satisfactory IRS Form W-9 for the party for whom the funds are to be invested is provided to the Title Company. The Title Company shall not be liable for any loss caused by the failure, suspension, bankruptcy or dissolution of the depository. In the event that this transaction is consummated, all Xxxxxxx Money and interest thereon shall be applied in partial satisfaction of the Purchase Price. If, however, this transaction is not consummated, the Xxxxxxx Money (less the Independent Contract Consideration) shall be delivered to Seller or returned to Purchaser by the Title Company as elsewhere provided in this Contract.

4.4 Dispute as to Xxxxxxx Money. In the event of a dispute with respect to the right to receive the Xxxxxxx Money, the Title Company may decline to disburse funds or to deliver any instrument or otherwise continue to perform its escrow functions, except upon receipt of a mutual written agreement of the parties or upon an appropriate order of court. In the event of a dispute, the Title Company may at its option interplead the Xxxxxxx Money into a court of competent jurisdiction in Tarrant County, Texas. All attorneys’ fees and costs and Title Company’s costs and expenses incurred in connection with such interpleader will be assessed against the party that is not awarded the Xxxxxxx Money or, if the Xxxxxxx Money is distributed in part to both parties, then in the inverse proportion of such distribution.

4.5 Liquidated Damages. SELLER AND PURCHASER AGREE THAT, IF THE PURCHASE AND SALE OF THE PROPERTY IS NOT COMPLETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THIS AGREEMENT AND THIS AGREEMENT TERMINATES AS A RESULT OF PURCHASER’S BREACH OF ITS OBLIGATION TO CONSUMMATE THE PURCHASE OF THE PROPERTY PURSUANT TO THIS CONTRACT OR THE GREENWAY CONTRACT, THEN THE XXXXXXX MONEY SHALL BE PAID TO SELLER UPON TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT, AND THE XXXXXXX MONEY SHALL BE RETAINED BY SELLER AS LIQUIDATED DAMAGES AND AS SELLER’S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY AT LAW OR IN EQUITY, OTHER THAN SELLER’S RIGHTS UNDER SECTIONS 6.5 AND 10.3 HEREOF. SELLER AND PURCHASER AGREE THAT, UNDER THE CIRCUMSTANCES EXISTING AS OF THE DATE OF THIS AGREEMENT, ACTUAL DAMAGES MAY BE DIFFICULT TO ASCERTAIN AND THE XXXXXXX MONEY IS A REASONABLE ESTIMATE OF THE DAMAGES THAT WILL BE INCURRED BY SELLER IF PURCHASER MATERIALLY DEFAULTS UNDER OR MATERIALLY BREACHES THIS AGREEMENT AND FAILS TO PURCHASE THE PROPERTY IN ACCORDANCE WITH THIS AGREEMENT.

7.5.2 A copy of any amendment, renewal, extension, termination, or expansion of an existing Lease or of any new Lease that Seller wishes to execute between the Effective Date and the date of Closing (“New Lease Documents”) shall be submitted to Purchaser prior to execution by Seller. Purchaser agrees to notify Seller in writing within five (5) Business Days after Purchaser’s receipt thereof of either its approval or disapproval of any New Lease Documents, including all Leasing Expenses (defined below) to be incurred in connection therewith. In the event Purchaser fails to notify Seller in writing of Purchaser’s approval or disapproval within the five (5) business day period set forth above, Purchaser shall be deemed to have approved such New Lease Document. At Closing, Purchaser shall (a) reimburse Seller for any tenant inducement costs, tenant improvement costs, tenant allowances, leasing commissions (whether paid to an in-house, affiliated or third party leasing agent or broker) or other expenses, including legal fees (collectively, “Leasing Expenses”), paid by Seller in connection with or pursuant to any New Lease Documents entered into on or after the Effective Date, and (b) assume all Leasing Expenses relating to such New Lease Documents not paid by Seller prior to the Closing Date. Seller shall be responsible for all outstanding Leasing Expenses due and payable as of the Closing Date related to all leases executed prior to the Effective Date (the “Existing Leasing Expense Obligations”), and to the extent such Existing Leasing Expense Obligations have not been paid by Seller as of Closing, Purchaser shall be entitled to a credit at

Closing in the amount of the unpaid portion of such Existing Leasing Expense Obligations, and Purchaser shall assume all such unpaid portion of the Existing Leasing Expense Obligations as and when they become due; provided, however, that none of the Leasing Expenses referenced in Schedule 7.5.2 shall be included as Existing Leasing Expense Obligations, Seller shall not be obligated to pay (nor shall Purchaser be entitled to any credit for) such Leasing Expenses, and Purchaser shall be liable for paying all such Leasing Expenses referenced on Schedule 7.5.2. In the event that Seller has funded any of the Leasing Expenses listed in Schedule 7.5.2 prior to Closing, Purchaser shall credit Seller for such amounts at Closing.

7.5.3 Seller shall not enter into, renew, extend, amend, or modify any Operating Contracts or other agreements affecting the Property (other than agreements that are terminable on no more than 30 days’ prior notice without penalty) without Purchaser’s prior written approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

7.5.4 Seller shall promptly advise Purchaser of any written notice of litigation received by Seller that will materially and negatively affect the ownership or operation of the Property or Seller’s ability to perform its obligations under this Contract.

7.5.5 Seller shall not voluntarily encumber the Property, except as required by court order or as required by law.

7.5.6 Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain and deliver to Purchaser prior to the Closing Date “Estoppel Certificates” (herein so called), in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit G, executed by space tenants under all Leases, and “Ground Lessor Estoppels,” in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit O, executed by the ground lessors under the Ground Leases. It shall be a condition to Purchaser’s obligation to close that (a) Seller shall have delivered the Ground Lessor Estoppels with respect to all of the ground lessors under the Ground Leases and (b) Seller shall have delivered Estoppel Certificates for tenants who comprise seventy percent (70%) (the “Required Percentage”) of the total leased square footage of the Improvements. If Seller has not been able to obtain some or all of the Ground Lessor Estoppels by the Closing Date, despite having used its commercially reasonable efforts to do so, Seller shall have the right, at its sole option, to provide an estoppel certificate executed by Seller in the form of Exhibit P attached hereto (the “Seller Ground Lease Estoppel”) for the Ground Leases for which Seller has been unable to obtain Ground Lessor Estoppels. If Seller has not been able to obtain the Required Percentage of Estoppel Certificates by the Closing Date, despite having used its commercially reasonable efforts to do so, Seller shall have the right, at its sole option, to provide an estoppel certificate executed by Seller in the form of Exhibit M (the “Seller Estoppel”) for Leases covering a total square footage of space in the Improvements that, when added to the Estoppel Certificates received from tenants, total the Required Percentage; provided that if Seller has delivered Estoppel Certificates for tenants comprising less than sixty-five percent (65%) of the total leased square footage of the Improvements by the Closing Date, Purchaser shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to (a) postpone the Closing Date for up to thirty (30) days by giving Seller notice of such election, (b) accept a Seller Estoppel and proceed to Closing, or (c) terminate this Contract and the Greenway Contract pursuant to the immediately following sentence. Purchaser’s sole remedy for Seller’s failure to obtain the required Estoppel Certificates and the required Ground Lease Estoppels pursuant to this Section 7.5.6, having used its commercially reasonable efforts to do so, shall be

to terminate this Contract and the Greenway Contract and receive the Xxxxxxx Money (less the Independent Contract Consideration) from Seller; notwithstanding the foregoing, if Purchaser elects to accelerate the Closing Date pursuant to Section 9.1, Purchaser shall waive its rights to (a) postpone the Closing Date in order to receive the Required Percentage of Estoppel Certificates, (b) require Seller to deliver any Seller Estoppels, (c) require Seller to deliver any Seller Ground Lessor Estoppels, and (d) terminate this Contract and the Greenway Contract if Seller fails to obtain the Required Percentage of Estoppel Certificates and all of the Ground Lessor Estoppels pursuant to this Section 7.5.6, having used its commercially reasonable efforts to do so. If Seller provides one or more Seller Estoppels covering any Lease or Leases for which an Estoppel Certificate is subsequently delivered to Purchaser (a “Superseded Seller Estoppel”), effective upon Purchaser’s receipt of such Estoppel Certificate, Seller shall have no further liability under the applicable Superseded Seller Estoppel. Seller’s liability under any Seller Estoppel shall be subject to and limited by the provisions of Section 7.3 hereof. If Seller provides one or more Seller Ground Lease Estoppels covering any Ground Lease or Ground Leases for which a Ground Xxxxxx Estoppel is subsequently delivered to Purchaser (a “Superseded Seller Ground Lease Estoppel”), effective upon Purchaser’s receipt of such Ground Lessor Estoppel Certificate, Seller shall have no further liability under the applicable Superseded Seller Ground Lease Estoppel. Seller’s liability under any Seller Ground Lease Estoppel shall be subject to and limited by the provisions of Section 7.3 hereof.

7.5.7 Seller shall continue to maintain All Risk Property insurance in the Property’s full replacement value with reputable insurance carriers licensed or authorized to do business in the state where the Property is located, with a minimum Best’s rating of A-VII.

Seller and Purchaser shall be responsible for the fees and expenses of their respective attorneys.

9.5.2 Real Estate Taxes. Real estate taxes and general and special assessments on the Property for the 2013 calendar year shall be prorated between Seller and Purchaser as of 11:59 p.m. on the day preceding the Closing Date. If the amount of such taxes is not known at Closing, the proration of such real estate taxes and assessments shall be based on the amount of such taxes and assessments for the previous real estate tax fiscal period. As soon as the actual amount of real estate taxes on the Property for the year of Closing is known, Seller and Purchaser shall, if necessary, readjust the amount of such taxes to be paid by each party with the result that Seller shall be responsible for those taxes applicable to the Property up to but not including the Closing Date, and Purchaser shall pay the taxes and shall be responsible for those taxes and assessments applicable to the Property on and after the date of Closing. Seller reserves the right to pursue any existing challenge to ad valorem taxes or assessments and shall be entitled to any refund or reduction of taxes attributable to any time period prior to Closing. The provisions of this Section 9.5.2 shall survive the Closing.

9.5.3 Rents. All rents, additional rents and other sums payable under the Leases shall, to the extent actually collected prior to Closing, be prorated as of 11:59 p.m. on the day preceding the Closing Date. All rents, percentage rents, operating expenses, common area charges, real estate taxes and other costs or charges paid by tenants under the Leases after the Closing shall be applied to such charges in their order of accrual until applied in full. Any amounts that are to be applied to periods prior to Closing shall be delivered by Purchaser to Seller within thirty (30) days after receipt, net of any reasonable costs incurred by Purchaser in collecting such amounts (including, without limitation, reasonable, outside attorneys’ fees). Purchaser shall have no obligation to institute any litigation to collect delinquent rents or other amounts owed to Seller, except that Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain same. Seller shall not exercise any right to collect such amounts until, in Seller’s reasonable judgment and in no event sooner than six (6) months thereafter, Seller has determined that Purchaser’s efforts will not result in collection thereof, in which event Seller may institute suit for collection. The provisions of this Section 9.5.3 shall survive Closing.

9.5.4 Security Deposits and Utility Deposits. Purchaser shall be entitled to a credit against the Purchase Price in the amount of any cash security deposits held by Seller pursuant to the Leases. With respect to any tenant security deposit in the form of a letter of credit, including any amendments (the “Letter of Credit”), Seller agrees to deliver to Purchaser at Closing the original Letter of Credit and the necessary transfer forms for the transfer thereof to Seller. After Closing, to the extent any such Letter of Credit is not transferable, Seller shall use its good faith efforts to have the Letter of Credit re-issued in the name of Purchaser and have the Letter of Credit in Seller’s name terminated. Purchaser agrees that it shall be responsible for the

transfer fees imposed by the issuing banks in connection with the transfer of any Letters of Credit from Seller to Purchaser, unless the applicable Tenant is responsible for such fees. Purchaser and Seller shall cooperate to accomplish the transfer of such Letters of Credit as soon as practicable after Closing. Until any such Letter of Credit is transferred, Seller shall cooperate with Purchaser in making any draws thereon that Purchaser is entitled to make under the terms of the applicable Lease, provided that Purchaser agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Seller for any liability imposed on Seller as the result of Seller’s cooperation. Seller shall be entitled to retain all utility deposits to the extent all payments to such utilities are current. Seller shall cooperate with Purchaser, at Purchaser’s cost, with respect to the transfer of utilities.

9.5.5 Capital Improvements. The Purchase Price is based on the assumption that Seller will have made One Million Five Hundred Ninety-One Thousand Three Hundred Fifty-One Dollars ($1,591,351) in capital expenditures to the Property by the scheduled Closing Date, September 9, 2013 (the “Cap Ex Closing Threshold”), as part of the total capital expenditures for the Property, and in no event shall Seller incur costs in excess of the Cap Ex Closing Threshold without receiving Purchaser’s written consent. In the event that Seller has not expended an amount equal to the Cap Ex Closing Threshold on capital expenditures consistent with Seller’s capital expenditure program prior to the Closing Date, Purchaser shall be entitled to receive a credit against the Purchase Price in an amount equal to the deficit between the actual capital expenditures made by Seller as of the Closing Date and the Cap Ex Closing Threshold. In the event that Seller has funded capital expenditures consistent with Seller’s capital expenditure program in excess of the Cap Ex Closing Threshold prior to the Closing Date, the Purchaser shall reimburse Seller at Closing for any excess between the amounts actually expended by Seller and the Cap Ex Closing Threshold. If the Closing Date occurs on a date other than September 9, 2013 (if agreed to by Seller and Purchaser in their sole discretion), then the Cap Ex Closing Threshold shall be reduced by Five Thousand Nine Hundred Seventy-Five and 33/100 Dollars ($5,975.33) for each day that the Closing occurs prior to September 9, 2013 and increased by Five Thousand Nine Hundred Seventy-Five and 33/100 Dollars ($5,975.33) for each day that the Closing occurs after September 9, 2013. At least five (5) Business Days prior to Closing, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser a statement of the total capital expenditures consistent with Seller’s capital expenditure program made by Seller through such date, for planning purposes, and Seller shall deliver a final statement to Purchaser one (1) Business Day prior to Closing.

9.5.6 Other Income and Expenses. Except as otherwise expressly stated herein, all other income and ordinary operating expenses for or pertaining to the Property, including, but not limited to, public utility charges, maintenance charges and service charges, will be prorated as of 11:59 p.m. on the day preceding the Closing Date.

9.5.7 Adjustment. To the extent that errors are discovered in, or additional information becomes available (including from year-end reconciliations of tenant pass-through expenses) with respect to, the prorations and allocations made at Closing, Seller and Purchaser agree to make such post-Closing adjustments as may be necessary to correct any inaccuracy; however, all prorations (except for prorations and allocations of ad valorem taxes and tenant reimbursables and for prorations or allocations that have been specifically identified as disputed and are then currently in dispute) shall be final within one hundred eighty (180) days after Closing. Purchaser shall be responsible for performing the year-end tenant pass-through expense reconciliations in accordance with the terms of the Leases.

9.6 Escrow Instructions. Upon execution of this Contract, the parties hereto shall deposit an executed counterpart of this Contract with the Title Company, and this Contract shall serve as the instructions to the Title Company as the escrow holder for consummation of the purchase and sale contemplated hereby. Seller and Purchaser agree to execute such reasonable additional and supplementary escrow instructions as may be appropriate to enable the Title Company to comply with the terms of this Contract; provided, however, that in the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Contract and any supplementary escrow instructions, the terms of this Contract shall control.

10.

REMEDIES.

10.1 Default by Seller. Except as specifically provided elsewhere in the Contract, in the event that Seller fails to consummate the transaction contemplated by this Contract or the Greenway Contract or if Seller breaches its obligation to perform any of Seller’s other material obligations hereunder or thereunder either prior to or at the Closing and such failure or breach results from any reason other than the termination of this Contract and the Greenway Contract by Purchaser pursuant to a right to terminate expressly set forth in this Contract or the Greenway Contract, as applicable, or Purchaser’s failure to perform Purchaser’s obligations under this Contract and/or the Greenway Contract, as applicable, Purchaser may as its only remedies: (a) terminate this Contract and the Greenway Contract by giving written notice thereof to Seller prior to or at the Closing, in which event Purchaser shall be entitled to a return of the Xxxxxxx Money (as defined herein and in the Greenway Contract) (less the Independent Contract Consideration) and interest thereon free and clear of any claims by Seller or any other party, plus a reimbursement of Purchaser’s reasonably incurred third-party, out-of-pocket costs incurred in connection with Purchaser’s negotiation of this Contract and the Greenway Contract and its due diligence investigations in connection therewith, not to exceed Seven Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($750,000) total under this Contract and the Greenway Contract; or (b) (exercisable by Purchaser only from and after the Termination Date, on the assumption that Purchaser has not duly terminated this Contract on or before the Termination Date under Section 6.6 hereof) enforce specific performance of Seller’s duties and obligations under this Contract and the Greenway Contract, provided that the right to enforce specific performance shall not require Seller to remove any title encumbrances not affirmatively placed on the Property (or the Greenway Property, as applicable) by Seller or require Seller to perform any covenant except as otherwise required under this Contract. In the event the Purchaser fails to file an action for specific performance of this Contract and the Greenway Contract on or before ninety (90) days after the date of such non-performance, Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected to proceed under clause (a) above and shall be deemed to have waived its right to enforce specific performance of this Contract and the Greenway Contract. Purchaser must exercise the same remedy (either termination or specific performance, as provided above) under this Contract and the Greenway Contract. Purchaser’s remedies after Closing are limited solely to the remedies provided and to the extent set forth in Sections 7 and 8 above. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller and Purchaser hereby agree that on or prior to the Termination Date, Purchaser shall not be entitled to pursue or enforce specific performance of Seller’s duties and obligations under this Contract or the Greenway Contract or to enforce any other remedies at law or equity, other than termination of this Contract and the Greenway Contract as provided in clause (a) above or the liquidated damages payment provided in the following sentence. In lieu of the right to enforce specific performance, and only from the Effective Date until the Termination Date, in the event

of a default by Seller that would otherwise have entitled Purchaser to pursue or enforce specific performance of Seller’s duties and obligations under this Contract and the Greenway Contract, Purchaser shall be entitled to a liquidated damages payment equal to Thirty Million Dollars ($30,000,000) in total under this Section 10.1 and under Section 10.1 of the Greenway Contract.

10.2 Default by Purchaser. In the event that Purchaser breaches (a) its obligations under Section 4.1 or 4.2, or (b) its obligation to consummate the purchase of the Property pursuant to this Contract or the Greenway Contract, then Seller, as Seller’s sole and exclusive remedy, shall have the right to terminate this Contract and the Greenway Contract by giving written notice thereof to Purchaser prior to or at the Closing, whereupon neither party thereto will have any further rights or obligations hereunder, except (i) that Title Company shall pay to Seller as liquidated damages the Xxxxxxx Money (as defined herein and in the Greenway Contract) (to the extent received by the Title Company, in the event of a breach by Purchaser under Section 4.1 or 4.2) free of any claims by Purchaser or any other person with respect thereto (and Purchaser hereby authorizes Title Company to do so), and (ii) for provisions that survive Closing by their terms. It is agreed that the amount to which Seller is entitled under this Section 10.2 is a reasonable forecast of just compensation for the harm that would be caused by Purchaser’s breach and that the harm that would be caused by such breach is one that is incapable or very difficult of accurate estimation. The indemnifications and other specific obligations of Purchaser elsewhere contained in this Contract are separate from and independent of this Section 10.2.

10.3 Fees. In the event either party to this Contract commences legal action of any kind to enforce the terms and conditions of this Contract, the prevailing party in such litigation shall be entitled to collect from the other party all costs, expenses and attorneys’ fees incurred in connection with such action.

10.4 Survival. This Section 10 shall survive Closing or earlier termination of this Contract.

11.

RISK OF LOSS, DESTRUCTION, AND CONDEMNATION.

11.1 Risk of Loss. Risk of loss for damage to the Property, or any part thereof, by fire or other casualty from the Effective Date through the Closing Date shall be on Seller. Upon Closing, full risk of loss with respect to the Property shall pass to Purchaser.

11.2 Casualty.

11.2.1 Major Damage. If, prior to Closing, the Property, or any portion thereof, is damaged by fire, or any other cause of whatsoever nature, Seller shall promptly give Purchaser written notice of such damage. If the cost for repairing such damage, as determined by an insurance adjuster reasonably acceptable to Seller and Purchaser, exceeds Eleven Million Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($11,250,000), Purchaser shall have the option, exercisable by written notice delivered to Seller within twenty (20) days of Seller’s notice of damage to Purchaser, either (a) to require Seller to convey the Property to Purchaser, in its damaged condition, and to assign to Purchaser all of Seller’s right, title and interest in and to any claims Seller may have under the property insurance policies covering the Property (and Seller shall pay

or credit against the Purchase Price any deductible to Purchaser), in which event Seller shall have no further liability or obligation to repair or replace the Property, or (b) to terminate this Contract, but not the Greenway Contract. If Purchaser elects to terminate this Contract, the Xxxxxxx Money (less the Independent Contract Consideration) shall be returned to Purchaser, and thereafter neither party hereto shall have any further duties or obligations hereunder except under provisions that survive Closing by their terms. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Contract, Purchaser shall not have the right to terminate the Greenway Contract solely as a result of Purchaser terminating this Contract under this Section 11.2.1.

11.2.2 Minor Damage. If the cost for repairing such damage, as determined by an insurance adjuster reasonably acceptable to Seller and Purchaser, shall not exceed Eleven Million Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($11,250,000), Purchaser shall be obligated to purchase the Property on the Closing Date in its damaged condition, in which case Seller shall assign to Purchaser all of Seller’s right, title and interest in and to any claims Seller may have under the property insurance policies covering the Property (and Seller shall pay or credit against the Purchase Price any deductible to Purchaser), less the cost of any repairs made by Seller to restore damage to the Property prior to the Closing Date.

11.3 Condemnation. If during the pendency of this Contract and prior to Closing, condemnation proceedings are commenced with respect to all or any material portion of the Property, Purchaser may, at Purchaser’s election, terminate this Contract, but not the Greenway Contract, by written notice to Seller within ten (10) days after Purchaser has been notified of the commencement of condemnation proceedings. In the event of such termination, the Xxxxxxx Money (less the Independent Contract Consideration) shall be promptly refunded to Purchaser and, thereafter, neither party shall have any further duties or obligations hereunder except under provisions that survive Closing by their terms. If Purchaser does not exercise such right to terminate this Contract within the period prescribed, then Seller shall transfer to Purchaser Seller’s right to appear and to defend Seller’s interests in the Property in such condemnation proceedings, and any award in condemnation shall become the property of Purchaser; provided, however, the Closing shall not be delayed by reason of any such proceedings. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Contract, Purchaser shall not have the right to terminate the Greenway Contract solely as a result of Purchaser terminating this Contract under this Section 11.3.

12.

REAL ESTATE COMMISSIONS AND FEES.

Seller represents and warrants to Purchaser that Seller has not contacted or entered into any written agreement with any real estate broker, agent, finder, or any party in connection with this transaction, except for Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxx (“Broker”). Seller shall be solely responsible for the payment of Broker’s commission in accordance with the provisions of a separate agreement between Seller and Broker. Purchaser hereby represents and warrants to Seller that Purchaser has not contracted or entered into any agreement with any real estate broker, agent, finder, or any party in connection with this transaction. Each party hereby indemnifies and agrees to hold the other party harmless from any loss, liability, damage, cost, or expense (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) paid or incurred by the other party by reason of a breach of the representation and warranty made by such party under this Section 12. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the indemnities set forth in this Section 12 shall survive the Closing.
