Page 2 |
the Commitment or the Survey to be removed, cured or insured over, except that Seller shall pay or discharge any lien or encumbrance arising after the date hereof and voluntarily created or assumed by Seller and not created by or resulting from the acts of Purchaser or other parties not related to Seller. If at Closing the Commitment (or any subsequent revision thereof) discloses adverse matters objectionable to Purchaser as new exceptions other than the Permitted Exceptions, and other than those which Seller has agreed to insure against, pay or discharge, then unless Purchaser agrees to accept title as it then is without reduction of the Purchase Price, Purchaser may, at its option, terminate this Agreement, in which event the Earnest Money shall be returned to Purchaser and Purchaser shall receive from Seller reimbursement for Purchaser’s reasonable out-of-pocket costs expended in connection with its due diligence of the Property as evidenced by invoices reasonably satisfactory to Seller in an amount not to exceed $100,000 (the “Break-up Fee”). In all events Seller shall remove from title on or prior to Closing all mortgage liens created by Seller and Seller shall remove or bond over all mechanics’ and materialmen’s liens created by Seller.
2.5 Other Permitted Exceptions. In addition to those matters shown in the Commitment and the Survey which become Permitted Exceptions pursuant to Section 2.4 above, the following shall also be deemed to be Permitted Exceptions: (a) the Leases; (b) taxes and standby fees for the year in which Closing occurs not yet due and payable; (c) liens and encumbrances arising after the date hereof to which Purchaser consents in writing; and (d) any liens or encumbrances of a definite or ascertainable amount, provided that Seller causes such liens or encumbrances to be insured around such that same do not appear as an exception in the owner’s title insurance policy issued to Purchaser pursuant to the Commitment.
2.6 Owner Title Policy. Subject to the provisions of Section 2.4, on the Closing Date Seller shall cause the Title Company to issue an owner’s title insurance policy at Seller’s cost insuring fee simple title in Purchaser as of the Closing Date, in accordance with the Commitment, subject only to the Permitted Exceptions; provided, however, that Seller shall have no obligation to pay anything other than the basic premium for such title insurance policy. If Purchaser desires to obtain a modification of the “survey exception” or other modification or endorsement, same shall be at the sole expense of Purchaser.
2.7 Intentionally Deleted.
2.8 New Title Defects. In the event that, after the Effective Date and prior to Closing, a revision of the Commitment or the Survey reveals an adverse matter objectionable to Purchaser that was not disclosed to Purchaser prior to the Effective Date and is not a Permitted Exception (a “New Title Defect”), Purchaser shall have five (5) days after such matter is disclosed to Purchaser to send written notice to Seller of such New Title Defect (it being agreed that if Purchaser fails to object to the New Title Defect within such five-day period, then such New Title Defect shall thereafter be deemed a Permitted Exception). Seller shall notify Purchaser in writing within five (5) days following the date of Purchaser’s notice of such New Title Defect (the “New Title Defect Cure Period”) that either (a) the New Title Defect has been, or will be at or prior to Closing, removed from the Commitment or the Survey, as the case may be, or (b) Seller has failed to arrange to have the New Title Defect removed. If, upon the expiration of the New Title Defect Cure Period, Seller has not notified Purchaser that Seller has arranged to have the New Title Defect removed, then Purchaser may elect (which election must be made in writing within five (5) days following expiration of the New Title Defect Cure Period) either: (i) to terminate this Agreement (in which event the Earnest Money shall be returned to Purchaser and Purchaser shall receive the Break-up Fee); or (ii) to take title subject to such New Title Defect. If Purchaser does not, within five (5) days after the expiration of the New Title Defect Cure Period, send written notice to Seller of its election to terminate this Agreement pursuant to clause (i) of the preceding sentence, then (x) Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected to exercise its right in clause (ii) above without any reduction in the Purchase Price; (y) the New Title Defect will thenceforth be deemed a Permitted Exception; and (z) this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

ARTICLE III
INSPECTION PERIOD
3.1 Property Documents. Seller has delivered or made available to Purchaser at the Property or through a secure website, to the extent in Seller’s possession, the documents described on Exhibit B attached hereto and made a part hereof for all purposes (the “Property Documents”). Purchaser shall, if requested by Seller, acknowledge receipt of the Property Documents or any other document delivered or made available to Purchaser in connection with the transaction contemplated hereby. Purchaser may inspect the Property Documents during normal business hours and may photocopy same at Purchaser’s expense. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, Seller shall not be obligated to deliver to Purchaser any report described in Exhibit B if the terms of such report restrict Seller from doing so. With respect to any environmental report or other report described in Exhibit B which Seller delivers to Purchaser, Purchaser understands and agrees that (a) such report shall be delivered to Purchaser for general information purposes only, (b) Purchaser shall not have any right to rely on any report received from Seller and will not rely thereon, but rather will rely on inspections and reports performed by or on behalf of Purchaser, and (c) Seller shall have absolutely no liability for any inaccuracy in or omission from any report which it delivers to Purchaser. Promptly after request of Purchaser, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser or post on the secure website such additional documents in Seller’s possession reasonably requested by Purchaser as determined in Seller’s sole and reasonable discretion.
3.2 Right of Inspection. During the period beginning on November 19, 2010, and continuing through Closing, Purchaser and its representatives (including Purchaser’s architects, engineers and consultants) shall have the right to examine the Property Documents and to make a physical inspection of the Property (including the right to conduct such soil, engineering, environmental, hazardous or toxic material, noise pollution, seismic or other physical test, study or investigation as Purchaser may desire, provided, however, that Purchaser must obtain Seller’s consent to any physically invasive testing). In this regard, Purchaser and its authorized agents and representatives shall be entitled to enter upon the Property at all reasonable times while this Agreement is in effect, upon reasonable prior oral or written notice to Seller and (if Seller shall make a representative available) while accompanied by a representative of Seller, subject to the rights of tenants of the Property. All activities by Purchaser or its representatives shall be coordinated through Seller’s designated representative, Jeff Carter, including, but not limited to, contact with tenants, and Seller shall have the right to have a representative present during any meetings with tenants. All inspections shall occur at reasonable times agreed upon by Seller and Purchaser and shall be conducted so as not to unreasonably interfere with use of the Property by Seller or tenants of the Property. In no event shall Purchaser or its representatives perform any off-site testing on surrounding properties. Purchaser will use its best efforts to minimize any disruption or interference caused by any such testing and will repair damage caused by such testing. Before and during Purchaser inspections, Purchaser and each Purchaser representative conducting any Purchaser inspection shall maintain workers’ compensation insurance in accordance with applicable law and the extent required, and Purchaser, or the applicable Purchaser representative conducting any Purchaser inspection, shall maintain (a) commercial general liability insurance with limits of at least Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000) for bodily or personal injury or death, (b) property damage insurance in the amount of at least One Million Dollars ($1,000,000), and (c) contractual liability insurance. Purchaser shall deliver to Seller evidence of such workers’ compensation insurance and a certificate evidencing the commercial general liability and property damage insurance before conducting any Purchaser inspection on the Property. Each such insurance policy shall be written by a reputable insurance company having a rating of at least “A-:VII” by Best’s Rating Guide (or a comparable rating by a successor rating service). Such insurance policies shall name as additional insureds Seller and Seller’s lender. Purchaser shall indemnify, defend and hold Seller and the Property harmless of and from any and all losses, liabilities, costs, expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of court), damages, liens, claims (including, without
| Equity Drive (Westway) Purchase Agreement |

limitation, mechanics’ or materialmen’s liens or claims of liens), actions and causes of actions arising from or relating to Purchaser’s (or Purchaser’s agents, employees or representatives) entering upon the Property to test, study, investigate or inspect the same or any part thereof, whether pursuant to this Section 3.2 or otherwise, except to the extent arising from the negligence of Seller or Seller’s agents or contractors) or from the mere discovery of a condition at the Property. The foregoing indemnity of Purchaser shall expressly survive the Closing or the earlier termination of this Agreement.
3.3 Deemed Approval. Purchaser is deemed to have approved the Property Documents and the Property in all respects and has no termination rights except as expressly set forth herein.

At Closing, Seller and Purchaser shall perform the obligations set forth in, respectively, Section 4.2 and Section 4.3 below, the performance of which obligations shall be concurrent conditions.

4.2 Seller’s Obligations at Closing. At Closing, Seller shall:
(a) deliver to Purchaser a Special Warranty Deed (the “Deed”) in the form of Exhibit C attached hereto and made a part hereof for all purposes, executed and acknowledged by Seller and in recordable form, it being agreed that the conveyance effected by the Deed shall be subject to the Permitted Exceptions, set forth on Exhibit O and those subsequently added pursuant to Sections 2.5(c) and 2.8 above, provided that Seller shall certify the rent roll to the Title Company in order for the Title Company to remove the “rights of tenants in possession” exception, except for the named Leases;

(h) deliver to Purchaser possession of the Property; and
(i) deliver to Escrow Agent such evidence as the Title Company may reasonably require as to the authority of the person or persons executing documents on behalf of Seller and such other documents reasonably required by the Title Company (such as a settlement statement) to consummate the transaction described in this Agreement.
4.3 Purchaser’s Obligations at Closing. At Closing, Purchaser shall:
(a) pay to Seller the Purchase Price in cash or immediately available funds, it being agreed that the Earnest Money shall be delivered to Seller at Closing and applied towards payment of the Purchase Price.
(b) join with Seller in execution of the instruments described in Sections 4.2(c), 4.2(d), and 4.2(e);
(c) deliver to Seller an Agreement Regarding Disclaimers in the form of Exhibit I attached hereto and made a part hereof for all purposes executed by Purchaser and counsel for Purchaser; and

4.4 Prorations. The following adjustments to the Purchase Price paid hereunder shall be made between Seller and Purchaser and shall be prorated (as applicable) on a per diem basis as if Purchaser owned the Property for the entire day on the Closing Date:
(a) All real estate taxes and installments of special assessments due and payable with respect to the calendar year of Closing. All other installments of special assessments not yet due and payable shall be the responsibility of Purchaser. If at the time of Closing the tax rate or the assessed valuation for the current year has not yet been fixed, taxes shall be prorated based upon the tax rate and the assessed valuation established for the previous tax year; provided, however, that Seller and Purchaser agree that to the extent the actual taxes for the current year differ from the amount so apportioned at Closing, the parties hereto will make all necessary adjustments by appropriate payments between themselves following the Closing, and this provision shall survive Closing.
(b) Current rents, advance rentals and other income from the Property shall be prorated between Seller and Purchaser at Closing based upon such amounts actually collected by Seller as of the Closing Date. Rent which is unpaid or delinquent as of the Closing Date shall not be prorated, but such unpaid or delinquent rent collected after the Closing Date shall be delivered as follows: (i) if Seller collects any rent after the Closing Date, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser any such rent within fifteen (15) days after the receipt thereof and (ii) if Purchaser collects any unpaid or delinquent rent after the Closing Date, Purchaser shall deliver to Seller any such rent relating to the period prior to the Closing Date within fifteen (15) days after the receipt thereof. Seller and Purchaser agree that all rent received by Seller or Purchaser after the Closing Date shall be applied first to current rentals and then to delinquent rentals, if any, in inverse order of
| Equity Drive (Westway) Purchase Agreement |
Page 6 |
maturity provided any payments to Seller shall be net of costs of collection. Purchaser will make a good faith effort after Closing to collect all rents (including without limitation the Pass Through Expenses and percentage rents described in Section 4.4(c) below) in the usual course of Purchaser’s operation of the Property, but Purchaser will not be obligated to institute any lawsuit or incur any expense to collect delinquent rents. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, Seller shall not be required to prorate any amounts collected by Seller after Closing from former tenants of the Property, it being understood and agreed that Seller may retain all amounts that Seller recovers from such former tenants.
(c) With respect to additional rent attributable to insurance, taxes, common area maintenance and other operating expenses which are passed through to tenants under the Leases (the “Pass Through Expenses”) and as of the Closing Date are not yet collected, Purchaser shall, upon collection of such Pass Through Expenses, but subject to the same rules of application set forth in Section 4.4(b) above, remit to Seller an amount equal to that portion of Pass Through Expenses which accrued prior to the Closing Date. With respect to Pass Through Expenses which have not been billed to tenants as of the Closing Date, Purchaser shall bill each tenant for same in accordance with each such tenant’s Lease. Within one hundred fifty (150) days after the end of 2010, Seller shall, with Purchaser’s reasonable cooperation and contingent upon receipt of any information held by Purchaser and not in the possession of Seller and reasonably necessary to such obligation, prepare a reconciliation of Pass-Through Expenses. Within one hundred fifty (150) days after the end of the year in which Closing occurs, Purchaser shall, with Seller’s reasonable cooperation and contingent upon receipt of any information held by Seller and not in the possession of Purchaser and reasonably necessary to such obligation, prepare a reconciliation of Pass-Through Expenses. In the event that any reconciliation shows that either Seller or Purchaser is owed an adjusting payment, then the party owing such payment shall promptly remit the same.
(d) Charges under service agreements assumed by Purchaser, utility charges for which Seller is liable, and other operating expenses of the Property shall be prorated between Seller and Purchaser at Closing.
(e) Security deposits shall, at Seller’s option, either be transferred or credited to Purchaser at Closing. Refundable cash or other refundable deposits posted with utility companies or other entities in connection with the Property shall, at Seller’s option, either be assigned to Purchaser and credited to Seller at Closing, or Seller shall be entitled to receive and retain such refundable cash and deposits. Seller shall cause its lender and Wellstream International Limited (“Wellstream”) to execute such documents as may be required to cause the letter of credit to be transferred to Purchaser as soon as is reasonably practical following the Closing and Seller shall cause Wellstream to reduce the amount of its scheduled 2011 letter of credit reduction by Two Thousand Dollars ($2,000) such that it shall be reduced by Seventy-Three Thousand Dollars ($73,000) instead of Seventy-Five Thousand Dollars ($75,000).
(f) Purchaser shall be responsible for the payment of (i) all Tenant Inducement Costs (as hereinafter defined) and leasing commissions which become due and payable (whether before or after Closing) (A) as a result of any renewals or expansions of existing Leases, and (B) under any new Leases (including any amendments of existing Leases) in each instance to the extent entered into after the Effective Date of this Agreement which have been approved (or deemed approved) by Purchaser in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; and (ii) all Tenant Inducement Costs and leasing commissions which become due and payable under an existing lease for a right exercised after the Effective Date. Seller shall be responsible for all other Tenant Inducement Costs. If as of the Closing Date Seller shall have paid any Tenant Inducement Costs
| Equity Drive (Westway) Purchase Agreement |
Page 7 |
or leasing commissions for which Purchaser is responsible pursuant to the foregoing provisions, Purchaser shall reimburse Seller therefor at Closing. Seller shall supply invoices and statements for all such Tenant Inducement Costs and leasing commissions to Purchaser on or prior to the Closing Date. For purposes hereof, the term “Tenant Inducement Costs” means any out-of-pocket payments required under a Lease to be paid by the landlord thereunder to or for the benefit of the tenant thereunder which is in the nature of a tenant inducement, including specifically, without limitation, tenant improvement costs, lease buyout costs, and moving, design, refurbishment and club membership allowances. The term “Tenant Inducement Costs” shall not include loss of income resulting from any free rental period, it being agreed that Seller shall bear the loss resulting from any free rental period until the Closing Date and that Purchaser shall bear such loss from and after the Closing Date.
(g) The Personal Property is included in this sale, without further charge, except that Purchaser shall be responsible for the amount of any and all sales or similar taxes payable in connection with the Personal Property which is to be transferred to Purchaser under this Agreement and Purchaser shall execute and deliver any tax returns required of it in connection therewith. Seller and Purchaser agree that the Personal Property has nominal value.
(h) All prorations described in this Section 4.4 shall be effected by increasing or decreasing, as appropriate, the amount of cash to be paid by Purchaser to Seller at Closing. Except for the proration of taxes and operating expense reconciliation described in Sections 4.4(a) and (c) above, all prorations provided for herein and not in dispute shall be final within one hundred eighty (180) days after the year in which Closing occurs. The proration of taxes described in Section 4.4(a) above shall be deemed final if no adjustment thereto is requested within one (1) year after Closing.
The provisions of this Section 4.4 shall survive Closing.
4.5 Closing Costs. Seller shall pay (a) the fees of any counsel representing it in connection with this transaction; (b) the basic premium for the Owner’s Policy of Title Insurance to be issued to Purchaser by the Title Company at Closing (specifically excluding the additional premium chargeable for modification of the survey exception or any endorsements, which expenses shall be borne by Purchaser); (c) the cost of the Existing Survey and the cost for updating the Existing Survey to meet the requirements set forth in Exhibit L, but in no event in an amount exceeding Three Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($3,500); (d) the fees for recording the Deed; and (e) one-half ( 1/2) of any escrow fee which may be charged by the Title Company. Purchaser shall pay (v) the fees of any counsel representing Purchaser in connection with this transaction; (w) the additional premium chargeable for modification of the survey exception, if such modification is desired by Purchaser; (x) the cost of any endorsements; (y) the cost of the Updated Survey to the extent such cost exceeds Three Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($3,500); and (z) one-half ( 1/2) of any escrow fees charged by the Title Company. All other costs and expenses incident to this transaction and the closing thereof shall be paid by the party incurring same.
4.6 Delivery of Documents. Immediately after Closing, Seller shall direct the manager of the Property to make available at the offices of such manager all books and records of account, contracts, leases and leasing correspondence, receipts for deposits, unpaid bills and other papers or documents which pertain to the operation of the Property together with all advertising materials, booklets, keys and other items, if any, used in the operation of the Property. Except as expressly provided herein, Seller makes no representations regarding the existence or adequacy of such documents or items for use in management or operation of the Property. The foregoing shall not include the separate books, records, correspondence and other documentation of Seller located at its offices in Dallas, Texas, nor shall it include any computer software or computer programs used by the manager of the Property or Seller in
| Equity Drive (Westway) Purchase Agreement |
Page 8 |
connection with the Property, it being understood and agreed that the foregoing items are not part of the “Property” to be conveyed to Purchaser hereunder. After the Closing, Seller shall have the right for a period of one (1) year upon at least forty-eight (48) hours written notice and then only during business hours, to inspect the books and records of the Property to verify that Purchaser is remitting to Seller all amounts to be remitted to Seller according to the terms of this Agreement, and for any other reasonable purpose related to Seller’s prior ownership of the Property, and this provision shall survive Closing.
4.7 Preservation of Right to Contest. Seller reserves the right to contest after Closing taxes and assessments with respect to the Property and interest or penalties pertaining thereto, to the extent same are applicable to periods prior to Closing, and Seller shall be entitled to any refunds made with respect to such contested taxes. Subject to Section 4.4(a), all taxes imposed because of a change of use or ownership of the Property after or in connection with the Closing shall be for the account of Purchaser, and Purchaser shall indemnify and hold Seller harmless of, from and against any and all costs, damages, expenses, claims, or liability arising from the imposition of any such taxes. The provisions of this Section shall survive the Closing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall not file a tax protest for 2011 taxes unless the protest deadline date will occur prior to Closing.

(k) To Seller’s knowledge, Seller has not entered into any material contractual obligations of Seller that will materially and adversely affect the Property after Closing, except as disclosed in the Commitment or Property Documents or which will be terminated or assigned (as contemplated in Section 1.1(e)) as of the Closing.
5.2 Notice of Breach.
(a) To the extent that, before the Effective Date, Purchaser obtains actual knowledge or is deemed to know that Seller’s representations and warranties are inaccurate, untrue or incorrect in any way, such representations and warranties shall be deemed modified to reflect such actual or deemed knowledge as of the Effective Date. For purposes hereof, Purchaser shall be deemed to know all information set forth in the written materials delivered to Purchaser in respect of the Property.
(b) If after the Effective Date but prior to the Closing, Purchaser first obtains actual knowledge that any of the representations or warranties made herein by Seller are untrue, inaccurate or incorrect in any material respect, Purchaser shall give Seller written notice thereof within five (5) days after obtaining such actual knowledge (but, in any event, prior to the Closing). In such event, Seller shall have the right (but not the obligation) to attempt to cure such misrepresentation or breach and shall, at its option, be entitled to a reasonable adjournments of the Closing (not to exceed thirty (30) days) for the purpose of such cure. If Seller elects to attempt to so cure but is unable to so cure any misrepresentation or breach of warranty, then Purchaser, as its sole remedies for any and all such materially untrue, inaccurate or incorrect representations or warranties, shall elect either (i) to waive such misrepresentations or breaches of representations
| Equity Drive (Westway) Purchase Agreement |
Page 10 |
and warranties and consummate the transaction contemplated hereby without any reduction of or credit against the Purchase Price, or (ii) if Purchaser first obtained actual knowledge of such material misrepresentation or breach of warranty after the Effective Date, to terminate this Agreement in its entirety by written notice given to Seller on the Closing Date, in which event this Agreement shall be terminated, the Earnest Money shall be returned to Purchaser, Purchaser shall be entitled to the Break-Up Fee and thereafter neither party shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder except as provided in any section hereof that by its terms expressly provides that it survives any termination of this Agreement.
5.3 Survival of Representations. It is the intent of Seller and Purchaser that the representations and warranties made by Seller in Section 5.1 above (the “Representations”) shall survive Closing for a period of one (1) year after the date of Closing. Accordingly, Purchaser and Seller hereby agree that, notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement or any provision of law to the contrary, any action which may be brought under this Agreement by Purchaser against Seller for breach of any Representations shall be forever barred unless Purchaser (a) delivers to Seller no later than one (1) year after the date of Closing a written notice of its claim setting forth in reasonable detail the factual basis for such claim and Purchaser’s good faith estimate of its damages arising out of such claim, and (b) files a complaint or petition against Seller alleging such claim in an appropriate state or federal court in Dallas County, Texas, no later than two (2) years after the date of Closing. In no event shall Seller be liable after the date of Closing for its breach of any Representations if such breach was actually known to Purchaser prior to the completion of Closing. Seller’s liability for breach of any Representations shall be limited as follows: (i) Seller shall have liability for breach of Representations only if the valid claims for all such breaches collectively aggregate more than Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000), in which event the full amount of such claims shall be actionable, and (ii) Seller’s aggregate liability to Purchaser for breaches of the Representations shall not exceed the amount of Seven Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($750,000) (the “Cap”), it being agreed that in no event shall Seller’s aggregate liability for such breaches exceed the amount of the Cap.
5.4 Covenants of Seller. Seller hereby covenants as follows:
(a) Between the Effective Date and the Closing Date, Seller shall maintain the Property in its present condition, ordinary wear and tear excepted;
(b) Between the Effective Date and the Closing Date, Seller shall maintain all casualty, liability and hazard insurance currently in force with respect to the Property; and
(c) Between the Effective Date and the Closing Date, Seller shall lease, operate, manage and enter into contracts with respect to the Property, in the same manner done by Seller prior to the date hereof, maintaining present services and sufficient supplies and equipment for the operation and maintenance of the Property in the same manner as prior to the date hereof; provided, however, that Seller shall not enter into any service contract that cannot be terminated within thirty (30) days notice. Seller shall terminate all service contracts.
(d) A copy of each Lease presented to Seller between the Effective Date and the Closing Date for its approval and execution will be submitted to Purchaser prior to execution by Seller. Purchaser agrees to notify Seller in writing within five (5) business days after its receipt of each such Lease of either its approval or disapproval thereof, including all Tenant Inducement Costs and leasing commissions to be incurred in connection therewith. In the event Purchaser fails to notify Seller in writing of its approval or disapproval of any such Lease within the five-business-day period for such purpose set forth above, such failure shall be deemed the approval by Purchaser of such Lease. At Closing, Purchaser shall reimburse Seller for any Tenant
| Equity Drive (Westway) Purchase Agreement |
Page 11 |
Inducement Costs or leasing commissions incurred by Seller pursuant to a new Lease approved (or deemed approved) by Purchaser.
(e) From the Effective Date until the Closing Date, Seller shall not sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of the Property, or any portion thereof, nor enter into any leases, service contracts, trust deeds, mortgages, restrictions, encumbrances, liens, licenses or other instruments or agreements affecting the Property except in the ordinary course of business.
5.5 Actual Knowledge of Seller. All references in this Agreement to the “actual knowledge” of Seller or “to Seller’s knowledge” shall refer only to the actual knowledge of the Designated Employees (as hereinafter defined) of the Dallas, Texas office of Seller and the Houston property management office and shall not be construed to refer to the knowledge of any other officer, agent or employee of Seller or any affiliate of Seller or to impose upon such Designated Employees any duty to investigate the matter to which such actual knowledge, or the absence thereof, pertains. As used herein, the term “Designated Employees” shall refer to Kmeal Winters, an employee of Seller who has responsibility for overseeing the management of the Property, among other assets of Seller and Debbie Fujimoto, the property manager of the Property.
5.6 Representations of Purchaser. Purchaser hereby represents as follows: Neither Purchaser, nor to Purchaser’s actual knowledge without inquiry, any of its respective partners, members, shareholders, owners, employees, officers, directors, representatives or agents is, nor will they become, a person or entity with whom U.S. persons or entities are restricted from doing business under regulations of OFAC (including those named on the OFAC’s Specially Designated and Blocked Persons List) or under any statute, executive order (including the September 24, 2001, Executive Order Blocking Property and Prohibiting Transactions with Persons who Commit, Threaten to Commit or Support Terrorism), or other governmental action.
5.7 Tenant Estoppels. Seller shall obtain an estoppel certificate, in form substantially in accordance with Exhibit J attached hereto and made a part hereof for all purposes (the “Estoppel Certificate”), executed by each tenant under the Leases; provided, however, that if Seller is unable to procure the Estoppel Certificates from all such tenants, Purchaser may terminate this Agreement. Further, Seller shall cooperate with Purchaser to distribute with the Estoppel Certificates any subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreements (the “SNDAs”) prepared by Purchaser on behalf of its lender and delivered to Seller. However, aside from making the distribution to the tenants under the Leases and monitoring receipt of same, Seller shall have no obligation with respect thereto, and Seller’s failure to obtain the SNDAs shall not affect Seller’s or Purchaser’s rights under this Agreement.
5.8 Conditions to Purchaser’s Obligation to Close. In addition to all other conditions set forth in this Agreement, the obligation of Purchaser to consummate the transaction contemplated hereunder shall be contingent upon the following:
(a) The Seller’s representations and warranties contained herein shall be true and correct in all material respects as of the date of this Agreement and the Closing Date;
(b) The credit rating of Cameron International shall not be downgraded below investment grade (BBB-) according to Standard and Poor’s prior to the Closing Date, provided, however, if such credit rating is downgraded as set forth above after the initial Closing Date and prior to the Extended Closing Date, should Purchaser elect to extend the Closing Date, then this Section 5.8(b) shall no longer be a condition to close and Purchaser shall have no right to terminate pursuant to this Section; and
| Equity Drive (Westway) Purchase Agreement |
Page 12 |
(c) Seller has delivered to Purchaser an estoppel certificate, in form substantially in accordance with Exhibit P attached hereto and made a part hereof for all purposes, executed by Westway Park Owners’ Association, Inc., a Texas not-for-profit corporation.
ARTICLE VI
DEFAULT; REMEDIES
6.1 Default of Purchaser. In the event Purchaser fails to perform its material obligations pursuant to this Agreement (it being agreed by the parties that payment of the Purchase Price is a material obligation) for any reason except failure by Seller to perform hereunder or the permitted termination hereof by Purchaser or Seller in accordance with the express provisions hereof, Seller shall be entitled, as its sole remedy, to terminate this Agreement and recover the Earnest Money as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, in full satisfaction of claims against Purchaser hereunder. Seller and Purchaser agree that Seller’s damages resulting from Purchaser’s default are difficult, if not impossible, to determine and that the Earnest Money is a fair estimate of those damages which has been agreed to in an effort to cause the amount of said damages to be certain. In the event of Purchaser’s default and notwithstanding anything in this Section 6.1 to the contrary, Seller shall have all remedies available at law or in equity in the event Purchaser or any party related to or affiliated with Purchaser is asserting any claims or right to the Property that would otherwise delay or prevent Seller from having clear, indefeasible and marketable title to the Property.
6.2 Default of Seller. In the event Seller fails to perform its material obligations pursuant to this Agreement for any reason except failure by Purchaser to perform hereunder or the permitted termination hereof by Purchaser or Seller in accordance with the express provisions hereof, Purchaser may (i) terminate this Agreement by giving Seller timely written notice of such election prior to or at Closing, in which event Purchaser shall be entitled to receive back the Earnest Money, or (ii) sue for specific performance. The remedies set forth in this Section 6.2 shall be the sole and exclusive remedies available to Purchaser for Seller’s failure to close the transaction which is the subject of this Agreement in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that specific performance is unavailable solely as a result of Seller having conveyed the Property to another purchaser in violation of this Agreement and Purchaser is not then in default, Purchaser shall be entitled to exercise all rights and remedies available at law or in equity.
6.3 Post-Closing Remedies. Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 6.1 and 6.2 above, in the event that after the termination of this Agreement or after Closing, as the case may be, a party (the “Defaulting Party”) breaches an obligation hereunder which is expressly stated herein to survive the termination of this Agreement or Closing or which is contained in the documents executed at Closing, as the case may be, the Defaulting Party shall be liable to the other party (the “Non-Defaulting Party”) for the direct, actual damages incurred by the Non-Defaulting Party as a direct result of such breach. In no event shall the Non-Defaulting Party be entitled to recover from the Defaulting Party any punitive, consequential or speculative damages.
ARTICLE VII
RISK OF LOSS
7.1 Minor Damage. In the event of loss or damage to the Property or any portion thereof (the “premises in question”) which is not “major” (as hereinafter defined), this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect provided Seller performs any necessary repairs or, at Seller’s option, reduces the cash
| Equity Drive (Westway) Purchase Agreement |
Page 13 |
portion of the Purchase Price in an amount equal to the cost of such repairs, Seller thereby retaining all of Seller’s right, title and interest to any claims and proceeds Seller may have with respect to any casualty insurance policies or condemnation awards relating to the premises in question. In the event that Seller elects to perform repairs upon the Property, Seller shall use reasonable efforts to complete such repairs promptly and the date of Closing shall be extended a reasonable time in order to allow for the completion of such repairs.
7.2 Major Damage. In the event of a “major” loss or damage, Purchaser may terminate this Agreement by written notice to Seller, in which event the Earnest Money shall be returned to Purchaser. If Purchaser does not elect to terminate this Agreement within ten (10) days after Seller sends Purchaser written notice of the occurrence of major loss or damage, then Seller and Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected to proceed with Closing, in which event Seller shall, at Seller’s option, either (a) perform any necessary repairs, or (b) assign to Purchaser all of Seller’s right, title and interest to any claims and proceeds Seller may have with respect to any casualty insurance policies or condemnation awards relating to the premises in question and credit to Purchaser the amount of any deductible or uninsured loss. In the event that Seller elects to perform repairs upon the Property, Seller shall use reasonable efforts to complete such repairs promptly and the date of Closing shall be extended a reasonable time in order to allow for the completion of such repairs. Upon Closing, full risk of loss with respect to the Property shall pass to Purchaser. For purposes of Sections 7.1 and 7.2, “major” loss or damage refers to the following: (i) loss or damage to the Property or any portion thereof such that the cost of repairing or restoring the premises in question to a condition substantially identical to that of the premises in question prior to the event of damage would be, in the certified opinion of a mutually acceptable architect, equal to or greater One Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($1,500,000); (ii) any loss due to a condemnation which permanently and materially impairs the current use of the Property or (iii) any loss or damage that permits a tenant to terminate its Lease.
7.3 Uniform Vendor and Purchaser Risk Act Not Applicable. It is the express intent of the parties hereto that the provisions of Sections 7.1 and 7.2 govern the rights of the parties in the event of damage to or condemnation of the Property and that the Uniform Vendor and Purchaser Risk Act (Section 5.007 of the Texas Property Code) not apply to this Agreement.
ARTICLE VIII

AND IN ANY EVENT, SELLER SHALL REMAIN LIABLE FOR ALL CLAIMS OF THIRD PARTIES ACCRUING PRIOR TO THE CLOSING.
8.3 Effect and Survival of Disclaimers. Seller has informed Purchaser that the compensation to be paid to Seller for the Property has been decreased to take into account that the Property is being sold subject to the provisions of this Article VIII. Seller and Purchaser agree that the provisions of this Article VIII shall survive Closing.
ARTICLE IX
MISCELLANEOUS
9.1 Broker. Seller and Purchaser represent each to the other that each has had no dealings with any broker, finder or other party concerning Purchaser’s purchase of the Property except Holliday Fenoglio Fowler, L.P. (“Broker”). If (and only if) the transaction that is the subject of this Agreement is consummated, Seller shall pay a commission to Broker pursuant to a separate written agreement between Seller and Broker. Seller and Purchaser each hereby agree to indemnify and hold the other harmless from all loss, cost, damage or expense (including reasonable attorney’s fees) incurred by the other as a result of any claim arising out of the acts of the indemnifying party (or others on its behalf) for a commission, finder’s fee or similar compensation made by any broker, finder or any party who claims to have dealt with such party except Broker. The foregoing representations, warranties and indemnifications contained in this Section shall survive the Closing. The Texas Real Estate License Act requires written notice to Purchaser that it should have an attorney examine an abstract of title to the property being purchased or obtain a title insurance policy. Notice to that effect is, therefore, hereby given to Purchaser.
9.2 ERISA. Purchaser represents that Purchaser is not an employee benefit plan or a governmental plan or a party in interest of either such a plan, and that the funds being used to acquire the Property are not plan assets or subject to state laws regulating investments of and fiduciary obligations with respect to a governmental plan. As used herein, the terms “employee benefit plan,” “party in interest,” “plan assets” and “governmental plan” shall have the respective meanings assigned to such terms in ERISA, and the term “ERISA” shall mean the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, and the regulations promulgated in connection therewith. Upon the request of Seller, Purchaser shall deliver to Seller at Closing a certificate stating that the foregoing representations are true and correct and containing an agreement by Purchaser to indemnify Seller against any inaccuracy in such representations. The foregoing covenants shall survive Closing.
9.3 Assignment. Purchaser may not assign its rights under this Agreement to anyone other than a Permitted Assignee (as hereinafter defined) without first obtaining Seller’s written approval which may be given or withheld in Seller’s sole discretion. Subject to the conditions set forth in this Section 9.3, Purchaser may assign its rights under this Agreement to a Permitted Assignee without the prior written consent of Seller. In the event that Purchaser desires to assign its rights under this Agreement to a Permitted Assignee, Purchaser shall send written notice to Seller at least five (5) business days prior to the effective date of such assignment stating the name and, if applicable, the constituent persons or entities of the Permitted Assignee. Such assignment shall not become effective until such Permitted Assignee executes an instrument reasonably satisfactory to Seller in form and substance whereby the Permitted Assignee expressly assumes each of the obligations of Purchaser under this Agreement accruing after the assignment, including specifically, without limitation, all obligations concerning the Earnest Money. No assignment shall release or otherwise relieve Purchaser from any obligations hereunder until the transaction contemplated herein has closed. For purposes of this Section 9.3, the term “Permitted Assignee” shall mean any entity controlled by, controlling or under common control with Purchaser. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Purchaser shall not have the right to assign
| Equity Drive (Westway) Purchase Agreement |
Page 16 |
this Agreement to any assignee which, in the reasonable judgment of Seller, will cause the transaction contemplated hereby or any party thereto to violate the requirements of ERISA. In order to enable Seller to make such determination, Purchaser shall cause to be delivered to Seller such information as is reasonably requested by Seller with respect to a proposed assignee and the constituent persons or entities of any proposed assignee, including specifically, without limitation, any pension or profit sharing plans related thereto.
9.4 Confidentiality. The information supplied to or made available to Purchaser by Seller pursuant to this Agreement or made available to Purchaser by Seller pursuant to that certain Access Agreement between Seller and Purchaser dated as of November 22, 2010, other than information available to the public other than through violation of the provisions herein (collectively, the “Confidential Materials”), shall not be released or disclosed to any other parties unless and until this transaction has closed without the prior written consent of Seller. Seller shall not withhold its consent to disclosure of such information other than Purchaser’s attorney or to any prospective lender or to any other agent, employee, contractor, investor, consultant, officer, director, partner, principal, member, or accountant to the extent necessary or desirable to assist the acquisition of the Property. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, this obligation of confidentiality shall not apply to disclosures compelled by law (including to make any required SEC, New York Stock Exchange or other securities market filings), any order of a court of competent jurisdiction or by a lawful, proper subpoena, in which event Purchaser shall immediately notify Seller of the circumstances purporting to require such disclosure and shall refrain from such disclosure for the maximum period of time allowed by law so that Seller may take such actions as it may deem appropriate to protect the Confidential Materials being sought. In the event that this transaction is not closed for any reason, then (a) Purchaser shall refrain, and shall cause its agents, representatives and accountants to refrain, from disclosing all such information to any other party, (b) Purchaser shall promptly return to Seller or destroy all Confidential Materials (including all copies thereof) which are in the possession of Purchaser or any of Purchaser’s agents or representatives, and (c) notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Agreement, the covenant set forth in the foregoing clauses (a) and (b) shall survive any termination of this Agreement for a period of one (1) year. In the event of a breach or threatened breach by Purchaser or its agents or representatives of this Section 9.4, 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. Neither Seller nor Purchaser shall issue any press releases prior to or in connection with the Closing regarding any of the transactions contemplated herein without the consent of the other party, which obligation shall survive Closing or any termination of this Agreement.

Purchaser agrees to look solely to Seller and its assets for the satisfaction of any liability or obligation arising under this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, or for the performance of any of the covenants, warranties or other agreements contained herein, and further agrees not to sue or otherwise seek to enforce any personal obligation against any of Seller’s Affiliates with respect to any matters arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

ALTA SURVEY REQUIREMENTS
2005 MINIMUM STANDARD DETAIL REQUIREMENTS FOR
ALTA/ACSM LAND TITLE SURVEYS
as adopted by
American Land Title Association
and
National Society of Professional Surveyors
(a member organization of the American Congress on Surveying and Mapping)
It is recognized that members of the American Land Title Association (ALTA) have specific needs, peculiar to title insurance matters, which require particular information for acceptance by title insurance companies when said companies are asked to insure title to land without exception as to the many matters which might be discoverable from survey and inspection and not be evidenced by the public records. In the general interest of the public, the surveying profession, title insurers and abstracters, ALTA and the National Society of Professional Surveyors, Inc. (NSPS) jointly promulgate and set forth such details and criteria for standards. It is recognized and understood that local and state standards or standards of care, which surveyors in those respective jurisdictions are bound by, may augment, or even require variations to the standards outlined herein. Where conflicts between the standards outlined herein and any jurisdictional statutes or regulations occur, the more restrictive requirement shall apply. It is also recognized that title insurance companies are entitled to rely on the survey furnished to them to be of an appropriate professional quality, both as to completeness and as to accuracy. It is equally recognized that for the performance of a survey, the surveyor will be provided with appropriate data which can be relied upon in the preparation of the survey.
For a survey of real property and the plat or map of the survey to be acceptable to a title insurance company for purposes of insuring title to said real property free and clear of survey matters (except those matters disclosed by the survey and indicated on the plat or map), certain specific and pertinent information shall be presented for the distinct and clear understanding between the client (insured), the title insurance company (insurer), and the surveyor (the person professionally responsible for the survey). These requirements are:
1. The client shall request the survey or arrange for the survey to be requested and shall provide a written authorization to proceed with the survey from the person responsible for paying for the survey. Unless specifically authorized in writing by the insurer, the insurer shall not be responsible for any costs associated with the preparation of the survey. The request shall specify that an “ALTA/ACSM LAND TITLE SURVEY” is required and shall designate which of the optional items listed in Table A are to be incorporated. The request shall set forth the record description of the property to be surveyed or, in the case of an original survey, the record description of the parent parcel that contains the property to be surveyed. Complete copies of the record description of the property (or, in the case of an original survey, the parent parcel), any record easements benefiting the property; the record easements or servitudes and covenants burdening the property (“Record Documents”); documents of record referred to in the Record Documents; and any other documents containing desired appropriate information affecting the property being surveyed and to which the survey shall make reference shall be provided to the surveyor for notation on the plat or map of survey.
2. The plat or map of such survey shall bear the name, address, telephone number, and signature of the professional land surveyor who performed the survey, his or her official seal and registration number, the date the survey was completed, the dates of all of the surveyor’s revisions and the caption “ALTA/ACSM Land Title Survey” with the certification set forth in paragraph 8.
3. An “ALTA/ACSM LAND TITLE SURVEY” shall be in accordance with the then-current “Accuracy Standards for Land Title Surveys” (“Accuracy Standards”) as adopted, from time to time by the National Society of Professional Surveyors and the American Land Title Association and incorporated herein by reference.
4. On the plat or map of an “ALTA/ACSM LAND TITLE SURVEY,” the survey boundary shall be drawn to a convenient scale, with that scale clearly indicated. A graphic scale, shown in feet or meters or both, shall be included. A north arrow shall be shown and when practicable, the plat or map of survey shall be oriented so that north is at the top of the drawing. Symbols or abbreviations used shall be identified on the face of the plat or map by use of a legend or other means. If necessary for clarity, supplementary or exaggerated diagrams shall be presented accurately on the plat or map. The plat or map shall be a minimum size of 8 1/2 by 11 inches.
5. The survey shall be performed on the ground and the plat or map of an “ALTA/ACSM LAND TITLE SURVEY” shall contain, in addition to the required items already specified above, the following applicable information:
| (a) |
All data necessary to indicate the mathematical dimensions and relationships of the boundary represented, with angles given directly or by bearings, and with the length and radius of each curve, together with elements necessary to mathematically define each curve. The point of beginning of the surveyor’s description shall be shown as well as the remote point of beginning if different. A bearing base shall refer to some well-fixed line, so that the bearings may be easily re-established. The North arrow shall be referenced to its bearing base and should that bearing base differ from record title, that difference shall be noted. |
| (b) |
When record bearings or angles or distances differ from measured bearings, angles or distances, both the |
| 2005 Version |
1 |
Exhibit L – Page 1
| record and measured bearings, angles, and distances shall be clearly indicated. If the record description fails to form a mathematically closed figure, the surveyor shall so indicate. |
| (c) |
Measured and record distances from comers of parcels surveyed to the nearest right-of-way lines of streets in urban or suburban areas, together with recovered lot coners and evidence of lot corners, shall be noted. For streets and highways abutting the property surveyed, the name, the width and location of pavement relative to the nearest boundary line of the surveyed tract, and the width of existing rights of way, where available from the controlling jurisdiction, shall be shown. Observable evidence of access (or lack thereof) to such abutting streets or highways shall be indicated. Observable evidence of private roads shall be so indicated. Streets abutting the premises, which have been described in Record Documents, but not physically opened, shall be shown and so noted |
| (d) |
The identifying titles of all recorded plats, filed maps, right of way maps, or similar documents which the survey represents, wholly or in part, shall be shown with their appropriate recording data, filing dates and map numbers, and the lot, block, and section numbers or letters of the surveyed premises. For non-platted adjoining land, names, and recording data identifying adjoining owners as they appear of record shall be shown. For platted adjoining land, the recording data of the subdivision plat shall be shown. The survey shall indicate platted setback or building restriction lines which have been recorded in subdivision plats or which appear in Record Documents which have been delivered to the surveyor. Contiguity, gores, and overlaps along the exterior boundaries of the surveyed premises, where ascertainable from field evidence or Record Documents, or interior to those exterior boundaries, shall be clearly indicated or noted. Where only a part of a recorded lot or parcel is included in the survey, the balance of the lot or parcel shall be indicated. |
| (e) |
All evidence of monuments shall be shown and noted to indicate which were found and which were placed. All evidence of monuments found beyond the surveyed premises on which establishment of the coners of the surveyed premises are dependent, and their application related to the survey shall be indicated. |
| (f) |
The character of any and all evidence of possession shall be stated and the location of such evidence carefully given in relation to both the measured boundary lines and those established by the record. An absence of notation on the survey shall be presumptive of no observable evidence of possession. |
| (g) |
The location of all buildings upon the plot or parcel shall be shown and their locations defined by measurements perpendicular to the nearest perimeter boundaries. The precision of these measurements shall be commensurate with the Relative Positional Accuracy of the survey as specified in the current Accuracy Standards for ALTA/ACSM Land Title Surveys. If there are no buildings erected on the property being surveyed, the plat or map shall bear the statement, “No buildings.” Proper street numbers shall be shown where available. |
| (h) |
All easements evidenced by Record Documents which have been delivered to the surveyor shall be shown, both those burdening and those benefiting the property surveyed, indicating recording information. If such an easement cannot be located, a note to this effect shall be included. Observable evidence of easements and/or servitudes of all kinds, such as those created by roads; rights-of-way; water courses; drains; telephone, telegraph, or electric lines; water, sewer, oil or gas pipelines on or across the surveyed properly and on adjoining properties if they appear to affect the surveyed properly, shall be located and noted. If the surveyor has knowledge of any such easements and/or servitudes, not observable at the time the present survey is made, such lack of observable evidence shall be noted. Surface indications, if any, of underground easements and/or servitudes shall also be shown. |
| (i) |
The character and location of all walls, buildings, fences, and other visible improvements within five feet of each side of the boundary lines shall be noted. Without expressing a legal opinion, physical evidence of all encroaching structural appurtenances and projections, such as fire escapes, bay windows, windows and doors that open out, flue pipes, stoops, eaves, cornices, areaways, steps, trim, etc., by or on adjoining property or on abutting streets, on any easement or over setback lines shown by Record Documents shall be indicated with the extent of such encroachment or projection. If the client wishes to have additional information with regard to appurtenances such as whether or not such appurtenances are independent, division, or party walls and are plumb, the client will assume the responsibility of obtaining such permissions as are necessary for the surveyor to enter upon the properties to make such determinations. |
| (j) |
Driveways, alleys and other ways of access on or crossing the property must be shown. Where there is evidence of use by other than the occupants of the property, the surveyor must so indicate on the plat or map. Where driveways or alleys on adjoining properties encroach, in whole or in part, on the property being surveyed, the surveyor must so indicate on the plat or map with appropriate measurements. |
| (k) |
As accurately as the evidence permits, the location of cemeteries and burial grounds (i) disclosed in the Record Documents provided by client or (ii) observed in the process of performing the field work for the survey, shall be shown. |
| (I) |
Ponds, lakes, springs, or rivers bordering on or running through the premises being surveyed shall be shown. |
6. As a minimum requirement, the surveyor shall furnish two sets of prints of the plat or map of survey to
| 2005 Version |
2 |
Exhibit L – Page 2
the title insurance company or the client. If the plat or map of survey consists of more than one sheet, the sheets shall be numbered, the total number of sheets indicated and match lines be shown on each sheet. The prints shall be on durable and dimensionally stable material of a quality standard acceptable to the title insurance company. The record title description of the surveyed tract, or the description provided by the client, and any new description prepared by the surveyor must appear on the face of the plat or map or otherwise accompany the survey. When, in the opinion of the surveyor, the results of the survey differ significantly from the record, or if a fundamental decision related to the boundary resolution is not clearly reflected on the plat or map, the surveyor may explain this information with notes on the face of the plat or map or in accompanying attachments. If the relative positional accuracy of the survey exceeds that allowable, the surveyor shall explain the site conditions that resulted in that outcome with a note on the face of the map or plat.
7. Water boundaries necessarily are subject to change due to erosion or accretion by tidal action or the flow of rivers and streams. A realignment of water bodies may also occur due to many reasons such as deliberate cutting and filing of bordering lands or by avulsion. Recorded surveys of natural water boundaries are not relied upon by title insurers for location of title.
When a property to be surveyed for title insurance purposes contains a natural water boundary, the surveyor shall measure the location of the boundary according to appropriate surveying methods and note on the plat or map the date of the measurement and the caveat that the boundary is subject to change due to natural causes and that it may or may not represent the actual location of the limit of title. When the surveyor is aware of changes in such boundaries, the extent of those changes shall be identified.
8. When the surveyor has met all of the minimum standard detail requirements for an ALTA/ACSM Land Title Survey, the following certification shall be made on the plat:
To (name of client), (name of lender, if known), (name of title insurance company, if known), (name of others as instructed by client):
This is to certify that this map or plat and the survey on which it is based were made in accordance with the “Minimum Standard Detail Requirements for ALTA/ACSM Land Title Surveys.” jointly established and adopted by ALTA and NSPS in 2005, and includes Items of Table A thereof. Pursuant to the Accuracy Standards as adopted by ALTA and NSPS and in effect on the date of this certification, undersigned further certifies that in my professional opinion, as a land surveyor registered in the State of , the Relative Positional Accuracy of this survey does not exceed that which is specified therein.

quitclaim from deed
i have frienen is on my deed so he wants quit from deed how much charge
Michael T.
Generally speaking, getting your friend "off the title" just needs a deed granting you his interest in the property. A real estate lawyer could prepare such a deed for only a few hundred dollars. But that does not include having a title examination done, and it doesn't include the recordation cost (the deed needs to be recorded in the local land records, and the cost varies).
Quick, user friendly and one of the better ways I've come across to get ahold of lawyers willing to take new clients.
