No consideration will be paid in connection with the exchange, but Houston Sellers will pay all title policy and escrow fees associated with the exchange, and one-half of all other costs or expenses incurred by the buyer. The exchange will not affect the terms of the Houston 170 PSA with respect to the acquisition of the remaining properties.
